Atlanta, Gn, mar w3ir MARY MOORE. A PLEASANT LuVE STORY. All my longlife 1 Imil known Marv Moore. All my life I loved her. Our Motheis were n]d playmates and first cousins My first reeolleriions are of a boy, in a rt and frock and moroc co shoes, rorkii’e a cradle in which re* posed a situny hatred, blue eyed baby, not quite a year o*d. Thct bov was myself— Harry Church; that blessed baby was Miry Moot*. I,atcr still. 1 see myself at lire little school-house, drawing my little cliaise up to the door, that Marv might ride home. Many a healing have 1 gained on such occasions, for other bovs be sides me liked her, and she, Gear, was something, of a flirt, even in her pina fore. How elegantly she came tripping down the steps when 1 called her name How sweet her blue eyes looked up at me. How gaily rang out her merry laugh. No one hut Mary could over bring her heart so soon to her lips,— I followed that laugh from my flavs rtf childhood ’till I grew an awkward blushing youth ; 1 followed it through the heated noon of manhood ; and now when the frosts ol age are silvering mv hair, and many ehildretkclimbing upon iny knee and call me “father,” 1 find that the memories of youth are strong, and that even in gray hairs, I am fol lowing the music still. When I was fifteen the first great sorrow of my life came upon my heart. I was stmt t*i school, and wxs obliged to pan with Mary. We were not to see each other for three long years.— This to me, was like a sentence of death, far,Mary was like life itself to me. Bui hearts are tough tilings after © © ali. # I left college in all the flush and vig or in my nineteenth year. I was no lon ger awkward anti embarrassed. I had grown into a tall and slender stripling, with a very good opity v n of myself, both in general and particular. If I thought of Mary Moore it was to im agine how l could dazzle and bewilder ber with my good looks and wonderful mental attainments, and never thinking she might dazzle and bewilder me still more. 1 was a coxcomb, 1 know ; but as youth and good looks have fled, 1 trust that 1 may be believed when 1 say that sell conceit has left tm also. An advantageous proposal was made to me at that time, and acrep'ing it, 1 gave up all idea ot a profession, and prepared to go to India. In my hur ried visit home, of two days, 1 saw nothing of Mary Moore. She. had gone to a boarding school at some distance and was not expected home until the following May. I tillered oite sigh to 'he memory of my little blue eyed playmate, and then called myself “a man” again. In a year, I thought, as the vehicle whirled away Irom our door, in a year, or three years at the most, I will return and it Mary is as. pretty as she used to be, why, then perhaps, I may marry her. And thus I had settled the future of a young lady whom I had not seen for four years. I never thought of the possibility of ber refusing me—never dreamed that she would r.o-t conde scend to accept n:y ofler. But, now I know that, had Mary met me then, she would have despised me. Perhaps in the scented and effected student, she might have found plenu oksport but, as for loving me, 1 should have found myself mistaken. India was my salvation, not merely bt cause of my success, but because mv laborious industry hail counteracted the evils to my nature, and had made me a better man. When, at the end of three years, I prepared to return, I. said nothing of the reformation in mv’sell which I knew had taken place. They loved me as 1 was, l. murmur ed to myself, and they shall find out for themselves whether I am better vfco’ih loving than formerly*. J packed up many a token (rum that land of romance and gold, for the friends I hoped lo meet ; the gift for Mary Moore I selected with a beating heart : it svas a ring o c rough virgin gold, with lay. name and hers engra V-ed inside —that was- a>l ; and yet the sight*of-the little toy* strangely thrilled me as I balanced it upon the tip of my j lingers. To the eyes of others, it was-, but a smail plain circlet* suggesting.thoughts perhaps, by iis elegance, of lifts beauti ful white liai d’lhat was to wear it.— But to me—how much was embodied there ! A loving smile on a beautiful face—low words of welcome—a future home and smiling face—all These de. lights were hidden within that little ring of gold, Tall, bearded and sun bronzed, I knocked at the door of rny father's house. The lights in the parlor win dow. and the hum of conversation and cheerful laughter, showed me that com pany was assembled there. 1 hoped sister Lizzie would come to the door, and that 1 might gfeei my family when no strange eye was looking carelessly on. But no—a servant answered the SHOHHOH6. They were, teo merry, in the parlor to heed the fangjtbserU.one who asked lur admittance. A bitter thought like this ran through rny-.mind as 1 heard the sounds-from., the. pp«lor and saw the se.Hsoppressed’ smile on the servant’s face. I hesitated a moment before making myself known, or asking for any of the lainilv. And while 1 stnodd silent, a strange apparation gre’.¥.\up before me; from behind the servant peered out a small golden bead, a tiny, deleeate form followed, and a sweet childish face with blue eyes, was lifted on mine—so like to those of one who had brighten ed my boyhood, that l started back with a sudden feeling of pain. “VVliat is your name, my pretty V— -1 asked, while the wondering servant held the door. “Mary Moore.” “And what else?” I asked. Bhe lilted up her hands to shade her eyes—l had seen that very attitude in another, in my boyhood, many and many a nine—and answered-i in a sweet, birdlike voice— “ Mary Moore Chester,” lisped the child. Mv heart sank down like load, — Here was an entli to all the bright dreams and hopes of my youth and manhood, t rank Chester, my boy ish rival, who had often tried and tried in vain, to usurp my place beside 'he gir!, had succeeded at last, and had won her away from me. This was the child —hi* child and Mary’s. I sank, body and soul, beneath this blow, and hiding my face in my hands 1 leaned against the door, w hile my heart wept tears of blood. The little one gazed at me, grieved and amazed, and pul up her pretty lips- as if a pout to cry, while the perplexed servant stepped to the parlor door, and called my sister out to see who it was that conducted himself so strangely I heard a light step, and a pleasant uoiee s?y mg— “ Did vou wish to see my father, sir ?” I looked up. There stood a pretty, sweetfaced maiden of twenty, not much changed from the dear little sister I had loved so well. I looked at her for a moment, and then stilling the. tumult of my heart by a mighty effort, I open ed n*y arms and said “Lizzie, don’t yon know nip?” II arrv ! Oh, my brother Harry !” she cried, and threw, herself upon my breast. She wept as ifher heart would break. I could not weep, I,drew her gent ly into tlre ligliteir parlor, and stood with her before them all, There was a rush and a cry of joy, and then my father and mother -sprang towards me, and welcomed me home with hpsrt-felt tears. Oh. strange and passing sweet is such a greeting to the wayworn traveler.

There were four oilier inmates of the room who had risen oa mw sod len entrance. One was the blue eyed child whom I had alrpadv sepn, and w-ho now stood beside Frank. Ohester, clinging to dis band.

When the first rapturous greeting was over, Lizzie led me forward with a timid graee, and Frank Chester grasp' ed mv hand, •‘Welcome, m}* boy,” he said, with the loud, cheerful tones 1 remembered so well. “You have changed ; but no matter about that—your heart is in the rigjit playe Lknow,” “How cfm you say he has changed ?” saitl my mother gently. “To be sure he looks older<and graver, like a man than when he went ; but t'lis eves and smile? are the same as ev er.

Harry, there is not such an oidler, in the world. Don’t you think .die looks very much like her mother used to ?” Very much,” I faltered. “•Ifailo !” cried Frank with a sud denness which made me start violent ly, “I have forgotten to introduce you to my wide ; I believe she and you used to be ptaymaies in your young days —ves Harry !” and he slapped me on the back. “For the sake of .old .imec.and because you were not at the wedding, l will give you leave to kiss her once* —hut mind, old fellow, you are never to repeat the ceremony. — (’nine —here she is. and l for once want to see how you will manag.e these le roeious mousirachts.afyours in the op ■ e ration.” He pushed Lizzie, laughing and blushing', towards me. A irloam ol light and hope almost too dazzling to bear came over me, and Let it and out be fore I linnuglri; “Not Mary.” It must have behaved my secret to every one in the room. But nothing was said ; even Frank, in general so ohiuse. was this time silent. 1 kissed the fair cheek of the young wife, and hurried to tli;t silent figure locking out of the window. “Marv —Moore,” I said in a low eager tone, “have you no welcome to give the wanderei.” She turned and laid her hand in mine, and said, hurriedly “I am glad to see you here Harry.” Simple words—and yet how blessed they made me. I would not have \ ieldetl her tip that moment lor an emperor’s crown. For there was the happy home group, and the dear home firesi le, there sweet M ary Moore. The eyes I had dream ed t.f by day and night, were falling beneath the ardent gaze of mine, and the sweet face 1 had so long prayed to see was there beside me, I never knew the uxeaning of. happiness until that tm>r»et»L.
