with him wonld be one of ease and luxury;

JOHN AND I.
Come, John,’ said I, cheefnlly, * it really is
time to go; if yon stay any longer I shall be
afraid to come down and lock the door after
yon.’
My visitor arose—a proceeding that always
reminded me of the genius emerging from the
copper vessel, as be measured six feet three—
and stood looking reproachfully down upon me.
Yon are in a great hurry to get rid of me,’
he replied.
Now, I don’t agree with him, for he bad
made bis nsnal call of two hours and a half:
having, in country phrase, taken to ' sitting
np’ with me so literally that I was frequently
at my wit’s ends to suppress the yawn that I
knew would bring a troop rushing after it.
Ho was a fine, manly looking fellow, this
John Cranford, old for bis ago—which was
the rather boyish period of twenty-two—and
every way worthy of being loved. But I didn't
love him. I was seven years his senior; and
when instead of letting the worm of conceal
ment prey on bis damask cheek, he ventured
to tell his love for my mature seif, I remorseless,
ly seized an English Prayer Book, and poiut
ed sternly to the clause—‘ A man may not
marry his grandmother.’ That was three years
ago; and I added, encouragingly, ‘Beside,
John, you are a child, and don’t know your
own mind;
If a man of nineteen doesn’t know his owu
mind,’ remonstrated my lover, • I would like
to know who should. But I will wait for you
seven years, if you say so—fourteen, as Jacob
did for Rachel.’
Yon forget,’ I replied, laughing at his way
of mending matters, * that woman does not,
like wine, improve with age. But seriously,
John, this is absurd; yon are a nice boy, and
I like you—bnt my feelings towards yon are
more those of a mother than a wife.’
The boy’s eyes flashed indignantly, and be
foro I could divine bis intention, he had lifted
me from the spot where I stood, and carried
me infant fashion to the sofa at the otber end
of the room
* 1 could almost flDd it in my heart to shake
yon !’ he muttered, as be sat me down with
emphasis.
This was rather like the courtship of Wl)
liam of Normandy, and matters promised to
be quite exciting.
* Don’t do that again,’ said I, with dignity
when I had recovered my breath.
* Will you marry me t’ asked John, some
what threateningly.
‘Not just at present,’ I replied.
The great handsome fellow, I thought, as
be paced the floor restlessly. Why couldn’t he
(all in love with some girl of fifteen, instead ot
setting his affections on an old maid like me f
don’t won’t the boy on my hands, and I won’t
have him!
‘ As to you beipg twenty-six,* pursued John
in answer to piy thought, *yon say Its down in
the family Bible, and I suppose it must be so;
hot I don’t care if you're forty. Yon look like
a girl of sixteen, find yon are the only woman
I shall ever love,’
‘Ob, John, John! at,least five millions of
men have said the sarifo thing before in every
know language. Nevertheless whsn yon fair-
down and cry, I relent—for I am dis
gracefully soft hearted—and weakly promise,
then and there that I will either keep my own
name or take yours. For love is a very dog
in the manger, and John looked radiant at this
concession. It was a comfort to know that if
he conld not gather the flower himself, no one
else would.
A sort of family shipwreck bad wafted John
to my tfcrefbold. Onr owtgjonsehold was sad

And among the first were Mr. Cranford, and
bis son, and sister, who bad just been wrecked
themselves by the death of the w ife and moth
er in a foreign tend—one of those sudden, un
expected deaths that leave the survivors in a
erased condition, beoanae it is so difficult to
imagine the gay worldling who has been called
hence in another state of being.
Mr. Cranford was one of my admirations
from the first. Tali, pale, with daik hair and
eyea, be reminded me of Dante, only that he
was handsomer ; and he bad such a genial air

Shellgrove was an unmitigated nuisance. Snch
a talker! babbling of her own and her broth
er’s affairs with equal indiscretion, and treat

Thoy staid with ns three years, and daring
that time I was fairly persecuted abont John-
Mrs. Shellgrove wrote me a letter on the sub
ject, In which she informed me that the whole
family were ready to receive me with open
arms—a prospect that I did not find at all
allaring. They seemed to have set their hearts
upon me as a person peculiarity fitted to train
John in the way lie should go. Everything, I
told, depended on his getting the right
of a wife.
A special interview, with Mr. Cranford, at
his particular request, tonebed me consider
ably.

hundred years ago.
‘ That is very good of yon,* I replied short
ly ; ‘ but I certainly have no expectation of ev
er belonging to it.’
’ Young ladles always deny these things, of
coarse; bat John tells a different story.’
I rattled the caps and saucers angrily; and
my thoughts floated off, not to John, bnt to
John’s father, sitting lonely in the library fur
nished after my suggestion.
Wasn’t it, after all, to marry the family gen
erally !
The house was famished and moved into,
John spent his evenings with me. I need to
get dreadfully tired of him. He was really too
devoted to be at all interesting, and I bad
reached that state of feeling that, if summari
ly ordered to take my choice between him and
the gallows, 1 wonld have prepared myself for
haDgir.g with a sort of cheerful alaority.
I locked the door upon John on the evening
in question, when I had finally gotten rid of
him, with these feelings in full force; and
meditated while undressing, on some desper
ate move that should bring matters to a crisis.
But the boy bad become ronsod at last. He
too, bad reflected in the watches of the night;
aud next day I received quite a dignified let
ter from him, tel ling me that business called
him from the city for two or three weeks, and
that possibly upoD bis retnrn I might appreci
ate bis devotion better. I felt inexpressively
relieved. It appeared to me the most sensible
move that John bad made in the whole coarse
nf our acquaintance, and I began to breathe
with more freedom.
Time, flew, however, and the three weeks
lengthed to six without John’s return. He
wrote to mo, but his letters became somewhat
constrained; and I scarcely knew what to make
ot him. If bn would only give me up, I
thongbt; but I felt sure that he would hold me
to that weak promise of mine, that I should
oithcr becorno Edna Cranford or remain Edna
Carrington.
’ Mr. Cranford* was announced one evening,
and I entered the parlor fnllv prepared for an
overdose of John, but found myself confronted
by his father.
Ho looked very grave, and instantly I imag
ined all sorts of things, and reproached myself
for my coldness. • John is well!’ I gasped
finally.
• Quite well,’ was the reply, in snch kind
tones that I felt sure there was something
wrong.
Wbat it was, I cared not, bnt ponred fourth
my feelings impetuously to my astonished vis
itor.
‘ He mast not come here again!’ I exclaimed.
• I do not wish to see him. Tell him so, Mr.
Cranford! tell him that I bad rather remain
Edna Carrington, as he made me promise, than
to become Edna Cranford,’
* And be made yon promise this !’ was the
teply. ‘ The selfish fellow 1 Bnt, Edna, what
am I to do withont the little girl I have been
expecting ! I am very lonely—so lonely that I
do not see how I can give her np.’
I glanced at him, and the room seemed
swimming round—everything was dreadfully
ureal. I tried to sit down, and was carried
tenderly to the sofa.
Shall it be Edna Carrington or Edna Cran
ford V be whispered. ‘ Yon need not break
yonr promise to John.*
Edna Cranford,’ I replied, feeling that I
had left the world entirely, and was In anoth
er sphere of existence.
If the thought crossed my mind that Mr.
Cranford bad rather cheerfully supplanted his
son, the proceeding was folly justified daring
the visit which I received from that young gen
tleman. I tried to make it plain to him that I
did him no wrong, as I bad hover professed to
love him, although not at all finro that I wonld
not receive the shaking threatened oh a pre
vious occasion; and I endeavored to be as ten
der as possible, for I felt really sorry for him.
To my great surprise John Iangbed.
‘ Well, this is jolly!’ he exclaimed. ‘And
I am not a villain, after all. What do' yon
think of her, Edna!’ '
He produced an ivorytype in a rick velvet
case—a pretty, little bine-eyed simpleton;
she looked like tetat seventeen.
Row,’ he continued—‘ Rose Darling; the
name suits her doesn’t it t She was staying
at my uncle's in Maryland—that's where I've
been visiting, yon know—and she's snch a
dear confiding thing that a fellow couldn't
help falling in love with her. And she thinks
no end of me, yon see—says sho’s quite afraid
of me and all that.*
John knew that I wasn't a bit afraid of him;
bnt I felt an elderly, sisterly sort of interest In
bis happiness, and had never liked him so
well as at that moment. And this was the
dreadful news that his father had come to
break to me, when his narrative was nipped
in the bad by my revelations, and the inter
view ended in a far more satisfactory manner
than either of ns bad anticipated. So I kept
my promise to John, after all, and as Miss
Row kept hers, he is now a steady, married
man, and a very agreeable son-in-law.—flor-
