DENVER, a plump, spectacled matron of some Ave and forty autumns, looked with a glance of ad monished reproof at lier nleoe, who sat on a low divan, with drooping curls,vel vety dark eyes humid with tears, and a cherry lip pouting lather ominously. Josle Denver was very pretty, with the fresh, sparkling beauty of eighteen and Josle Denver was in love, and, as all the world knows, the current of true love never does run smooth. Hence the tears, and Jhe crimson flush on the cheeks, and the trembling of the pouted lips. " I love him, aunt." " Love I what nonsense 1 There Isn't any such feeling. It's all simple respect and esteem." But Josle knew better. She only bit her lip, and thought of Frank Elling ton's lust Impassioned words. What did her aunt know of love ? " He Is a poor lawyer," went on Mrs. Denver, " with not practice enough to starve on, and I can't tell you to enter on a life of care and drudgery with your pretty face and boarding school educa tion. I'm astonished at Frank Elling ton's presumption, and still more aston ished at you for allowing It. Bo now get your embroidery, and think no more about this child's play." Josie took up her embroidery accord ing to order, but as for the rest of Mrs. Denver's commands she Internally re solved to take her own way about It. She had confided to Frank Ellington her trials on the subject of her aunt's systematic opposition, and Frank had bidden her " cheer up and never mind the old Turk." But It was so easy to talk. " Hush !" cried Mrs. Denver, sudden ly starting up and dropping her inevita ble darning. "Wasn't that a ring at the door bell ? As true as I live and breathe It was, and I wouldn't a bit wonder If it was a lodger for our best front room." A lodger it was. A brisk old gentle man, with shining brown wig and blue spectacles, and a yellow silk handker chief tied in multitudinous folds round his throat, August weather though it was, while in his two hands he held re spectively a cotton silk umbrella and an apopleptic carpet-bag. " I see you have rooms to let,ma'am," said the old gentleman. " Yes, sir, a sitting room and a bed room." "Can I look at them?" " Oh, certainly, sir. Josie, here, Josie. Come and show the rooms. Josie obeyed, unwillingly enough, while the old gentleman trotted after her like an overgrown spaniel. " I hope your rooms front to the South," said the old gentleman. "I couldn't think of any other aspect, on account of my rheumatism." " Due South, sir," said Mrs. Denver. " A bed-room and a sitting-room." " Yes, yes, commented the lodger elect, " and very nice rooms they seem to be. I hope you don't keep a cat, ma'am I've an antipathy to cats." " No, sir." "No public school in the neighbor hood, with bawling children ? Nor en gine bouse?" " No, sir." " What's your price ?" "Ten dollars a week, sir, including gas and fire." "I'll take the rooms, and here's a month's pay in advance," said the old gentleman, promptly. "My trunks shall be sent to-night. Is this your daughter, ma'am ?" " My niece, sir." " A nice girl," was the approving answer, " Lots of beaux, I'll go ball." Mrs. Denver pursed up her lips primlyi " No, sir, my niece Is too sensible for any such folly." While Josie only pouted and blushed. The new lodger was duly Installed in the sitting room and bed room, and Mrs. Denver rejoiced In spirit. It is so much belter than if he were a silly, sentimental young spark, putting all sorts of nonsense in that head of Josie's," she thought. The weeks crept on, and the old gen tleman read his newspaper, and puffed away at his meerschaum, and went tod dling off daily to " business," and paid his bills with a regularity . which filled Mrs. Denver's heart with delight. " There's a lodger for you," she said, exultingly. "I just wish he would keep the rooms forever. It was a bright October evening when Mr. Wiggleton sent for Mrs. Den ver to come up to his room. " Dear me," thought the fluttered housekeeper, " what can the matter be ? It's too bad. I believe he's going to find fault with your guitar practice, Josie." "I can't help it," said Josie, piteous ly ; " I must get on with my guitar les aons." : , Mrs. Denver obeyed the unwonted summons. Mr. Wiggleton, who was sitting In a chair cleaning his meerschaum pipe with n bit of chamois leather, laid down his work and solemnly adjusted his blue spectacles. " Mrs. Denver," he said, " I'm think ing of being manled." " And leaving, me, sir," ejaculated the housekeeper with a failing heart. "It won't be necessary ma'am to leave you." " Oh, indeed, sir. Then you will bring youi wife here ?" "My bride will be here already, nia'am. It's Miss Josle." "My Josie?" " Yes, ma'am, your Josle." " Mrs. Denver's heart thrilled with pride and gratification. "I'm sure, sir, Josle will be very much flattered." " Would you kindly speak to her, nia'am and as It were break the Ice for me ? You see that I'm rather advanced in years and not used to tills sort of thing." " Certainly, sir oh, certainly," cried Mrs. Deliver, smoothing her apron. "I shall lie honored." She went down stairs as fast as If there was no such thing as neuralgio pains or stiff old bones in all the world, to where Josie sat reading in the parlor. "What do you think, Josie?" she cried, exultantly. " Here's good luck for us. Mr. Wiggleton has fallen In love with you." " With me, aunty." " Yes, and he's willing to marry you if you be a good girl. Now, isn't that good news ?" But to Mrs. Denver's amazement, Josie burst into a passion of tears, and flung her book upon the floor. j " I won't marry him. No, I won't, aunty. "Josle?" " I wonder you dare ask me Buch a thing, aunty ; and poor Frank, too, Never! I'll go out to service first." "Child," cried the dismayed aunt, "you are raving. There, wipe your eyes quick and smooth your hair ; he's coming down stairs." Apparently, Mr. Wiggleton's idea of things, the process of " breaking the Ice" was not a protracted one, for his step was now heard deliberately stamp ing down the stairs. "Hey, hello I Miss Josie crying! My, what's the matter ?" cried old Mr. Wiggleton. "I won't 1 There Is no use asking me," sobbed Josle. " She don't mean it, sir," apologized Mrs. Denver. " She'll talk quite dif ferently presently." " Will you leave us alone together, ma'am ?" requested the ancient suitor. "No don't, aunty. Please, don't!" cried Josie. " Certainly, sir, by all means." And Mrs. Denver whisked out of the room. She went down stairs and sat by the window, trying to knit, but secretly worrying in her mind about the wilful lassie up stairs. Surely she would never be so crazy as to refuse Mr. Wiggleton. Yet girls were so unaccountable sometimes. She wished now that she had insisted upon it, threatened to turn her out of doors else, been Imperative. "But, oh, dear," sighed Mrs. Denver, " wisdom comes too late." Presently the door opened. " Mrs. Denver," called out the voice of Mr. Wiggleton, a jocund, complacent voice, like anything in the world but the accents of a discarded lover. Mrs. Denver hastened up stairs with throbbing heart, and eager, questioning countenance. Joste fettt smiling and blushing on the sofa with one or two tear drops spark ling on her eyelashes, while Mr. Wig gleton, with brown wig somewhat dish eveled, bent chivalrously over her. " Is It all right ?" asked Mrs. Denver faintly, laying her hand on her heart. " It's all right, ma'am, she has prom ised to be mine." "And when ?" "Next month." " Oh, not so soon," pleaded Josle. "Dearest," cried Mr. Wiggleton, laughingly, " true love brooks no delay. It must be." " So don't be foolish, my dear, said Mrs. Denver to her niece. " The sooner the better." So Josle, overborne by the rest was forced to submit. " My dear," said her aunt approving ly, " I never gave you credit for half the good sense you have shown to day." " Didn't you, aunty ?" " But I'm delighted with you." " The wedding day arrived and Josie, looking very lovely In a lustrous white silk, shadowed by the snowy clouds of a tulle veil, was duly married to Mr. Wig gleton in a new brown wig and a suit of the choicest broadcloth. Mrs. Denver, who had remained be hind to superintend the preparation of the wedding breakfast, was at the door to welcome bet new nephew-In-law and his bride. She led the way up stairs to the parlor. "A hem!" said Mr. Wiggleton, " now that we are safely married, my dear Josle, I do not see the necessity for keeping up these absurd appearances any longer." He calmly removed his wig display ing profuse brown curls, and took the blue spectacles from a pair of hazel eyes. A pair of Iron gray whiskers were coolly drawn from his face, and the luxuriant folds of the white neckcloth suddenly revealed a very handsome throat. While instantaneously recovered from a chron ic stoop and straightening himself, Mr. Wiggleton altered as if from the touch of an enchanter's wand, to Mr. Frank Ellington. Mrs. Denver uttered a hysteric scream. "Frank Ellington!" " At your service, my dear aunt." " Are you Mr. Wiggleton ?" " I was five minutes ngo." " But you you are not .married to my Josle?" "So the clergyman says, ma'am." " You are a deceiving man," cried the aunt, sinking upon a chair. " Josle,how dared you ?" "You asked me to marry Mr. Wiggle ton, aunt, and I married him." " But I never dreamed of the base trick that was being played upon me." "Oil, well, you see I couldn't help that," said Josle, demurely. "Stop a moment," said the bride groom, .with a commanding air that even Mrs. Denver could not resist, " let me explain matters. I am no longer the penniless suitor to whom you ob jected, madam. The day previous to my engaging your rooms, I received a bequest from an uncle, rendering me in dependent for life. I had no doubt but that you would withdraw your objec tions to my marriage with your niece, but I preferred remembering the obsta cles you had always interposed in our path, to woo and win her in my own way. I think we are quits now, Mrs. Denver ; shall we be friends hencefor ward?" He laughingly extended his hand. Mrs. Denver took it and pressed It, half pleased, half mad. "Quits, then, Frank. And you will keep the suite of rooms ?" " I shall comply with all that," Mr. Wiggleton promised. So instead of one lodger, Mrs. Denver had two. And Josle and her aunt were both suited.

A loud boisterous tone shows a want of good breeding. The first principle of politeness Is to make those about you feel pleasant, and a rude, coarse manner of speaking is annoying to most per sons. A good anecdote is related of a man who went by the name of " Whis pering John," which was given him in ridicule. People said he talked as though he were brought up In a mill. One cold morning he walked Into ft public house, and called out in his thun dering voice : " Good morning, landlord, how are you ?" " Very well, how are you ?" "Oh, I'm well, but I'm so cold, I can hardly talk." Just then a nervous traveler who was present ran up to the landlord, exclaim ing: " Please have my horse brought as soon as possible." " Why, what Is the matter?" asked the landlord. " Nothing," replied the traveler, " only I want to get away before that man thaws." About Governors.
