It was Monday morning a htin b ed odd years ago. a cool morn mg with a blue sky over which rouped crowds of cumuli borne >v the west wind. Two horses tood saddled and bridled ai squire Crowile's gale. Presently n the y ard, which bristled all tround the edge with Lombardy joplars, emerged a group from me of tbe side house doors ol SquireCrowile - s, his wife, his two -ons—Moses ami Luther—his laughters—Fear and Molly—and Captain Israel Brown and wife, he said Captain Israel being -chool agent for the central dis rict in Manomet. They straggled in confused Dr ier down the path bordered on ■ithersidc by phlox. Mrs. Crowile ■ver and anon furtively wiping Molly and Pi issv, alas! there was I and hitter sweet vines linked no such pleasure possible. Pus tage was costly, and there were few routes in the whole country. Between Manomet, which was twenty miles away, and Douglas, there was none; and the friends would have to depend on chance travelers for notes and news. There were tears in Prissy’s blue eyes as she bade Molly "good by.” but it was a very quiet good by. Our Puritan grand mothers did not rush into each others arms and kiss ecstatically: they did all tilings "decently and in order.” The family farewells were equally subdued. The hors es were led tip to the mounting block. Molly had mounted with a light leap. Luther tucked her little foot into the stirrup, and I she bade father, mother and broth trees and shrubs into almost im penetrable thickets. Molly had ridden but a mill when she was surprised tn find herself conscious of a feeling of uneasiness, a feeling we should call, in our modern phrase, “nerv ousness.” The least sound, the flight of a partridge, the fall of a nut dropped by a squirrel, star tled her. She caught herself peering into the thickets hy the roadside, and looking ahead with a feeling of apprehension at every turn and wind of the road, which made a gradual ascent for about three miles to the crest of the ridge, known as Saddleback, which separated Manomet from the adjoining town of Seaside. Baal cantered slowly along. Molly not earing to urge him up with the corner of her ers good by simply, though it was the ascent.

The j eason of all this Monday morning Luxiult was that Molly Crowile. who was only sixteen, was going o Manomet for the summer to leach. She had taken a quiet leave of her friends the day before at the meeting house, a leave in harmony with the staidness of the Puritan Sabbath. Never had she looked prettier than that day as she sat in her place ill the singers' seats, thill in homespun, to be' sure, but Mrs. Crowdc was skill-' : out 111 a most momentous seltin to ihe world. On Molly's summer of school teaching it is not my purpose to dwell. She taught the children to knit and to sew, and every Satur day drilled them in the catechism. The school house was not unlike some we may see in primitive New England towns to-day. square in shape, painted red, a good deal battered without and ' over the fire place when she; making a mighty effort to regain within, and anchored in a treeless j heard an “Ugh! ugh!” and turn her composure giggled conviil sea of sand.

In boy hood they bid janjmed the sami cat's head into the same milk pitcher, stolen peaches from tin same tree, got trounced by the same tanners, were otherwise en vionsly intimate friends, after wards, eliums at college and then errand boys in the same office. Later in life they parted and rose to sublime honors in their sepa rate place. Last January they met for the first time since their parting, in Lexington, and brewed a convi vial bowl in honor of the event. About midnight, full of affection and enthusiasm, they retired in the same bed. It was a cold night, and they placed their clotii ing upon the foot of file lieu. Just after they fell asleep four friends entered softly, drew the lied liy ropes nearly to the ceiling and Before ami after Marriage. Not nnfrequently both men and women expect more from mar riage than it is in human nature to yield. In the romantic court ing days the love making is fresh, and sweet, and all engrossing, and the reflecting innocents are deluded into the belief that the bonds of matrimony are alone needed tn secure them a life of love and joy at the high fever heat of the warm, youthful moments. But sueti an anticipation ol heav en on this earth cannot he. The heat must cool down, and intoxi cation of love sober into the tran quility of friendship. It is a great m. ter to get safely through the cooling process. The danger is that, when it begins, one or the other, ignorant that its cause lies :i the nature of tilings, may throw the blame on an innocent partner, and in his or her sweet heart sigh rnertbe awful misfor tune of a dreary union.
