Beneath is this inscription: Erected to the grave of Highland Mary in 1842. Thcso lines are from the impassioned verses, 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 ly broked Bp,’ and I Toand myaelf compara tively young in yoars with a half invalid fa ther, a large bouse, and a very little money. What mold'Npt|(a(thpn pa take boarders! 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 Of knowing, (without the least pedantry how 1 ..... He wag evidently wrapped up i in John, and patient with his sisteiVrwhlch'w&s asking quite enough of Christian charity under the sun, for Mrs. Shellgrove was an unmitigated nuisance. Snch a talker! babbling of her own and her broth er’s affairs with equal indiscretion, and treat ing the father as though he were an incapa ble infant. 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. • I hope,’ said he, * that yon will not refuse my hoy, Miss Edna.

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.

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- per’s Magazine. End of Four Great Men.
