The wedding breakfast was all pre pared; my trunks wore packed, with tears, I confess. Jane, poor soul, had bought mo a dozen linen cloths for wip ing my China. “They’d bo real handy,’ 1 she said. How little I realized that dishes must lie washed in that vlne-cov- cred cottage! But 1 thanked bet, and many a time since. Mark had come the night before, and now Helen came in with her stiff silk and her queenly bear ing, and said the guests were arriving and the boor was nearly at hand. Then Mark knocked and looked a little start* led, when he saw me in, my white silk and the filmy veil. ’ “Why, Rosa," h^ patter about the u» in the 'fao4, hilt wealth’ came at last,^rhen we able to bear It, and restful days.

We retched home at last; and Mark’s sister was thereto receive us. *^he wak twice my age and regarded Mark as a little above any one else. - We went all over the little.bouse';.out in the garden, and gang fcpd dreamed apd talked like two kittens Innocent ftf life. The^fljgfl found us in the arbor, the moonlight sifting.through the grape vine, fragrau with blosspms. Wc were In aii cnchanl cd land; life was love. Whs* feared we of trouble? it had not touched us. Tlie next day Mark went to bis office, saying, aa be kisssed roe good-bye, “Let Martha see to the ordering of-the dinner; just rest;" as if 1 was tired. But I re solved to surprise lifah.' I would pre pare the desert. Had I npt seen mother make such delicato, puddings of snow with a delicious crust, tlie color of am lier? Had I not made myself a chocolate hlanc mong? To beifofo, mother stood by and told me everything to put in if; but it was nothing to do. -8o I went to my piano, uiy very own, which had ltceu sent from the old home. Tliat brought up tlie familiar room, and I cried a little to think of the new life before me. Then I liegan to pipy. I was pas sionately fond of music, and my home sickness was forgotten. I had been playing some time when I thought of dinner. There was only an hour. Mar tha had been ont hi the kitchen all the morning. She with Chioe, the colored cook, were about the dinner. My prOj^ baud, ositiou to prepare the desert seemed to strike them oddly, but I went bravely to work, I thought I would make a irplt pudding. We often had them at home 1 knew Mark enjoyed them. I got the* flour, the butter and salt, and made dough with milk and water, and Un rolled it Into little cakes and spread tpl peaches. I;told Chioe they were to be boiled dim-quarters of an boor. They didn't look, just right,' but I thought boiling wouhl remedy every defect. The dinner passed off pleasantly.

Many a dinner was ruined. Mark, like bis namesake of old, became an apostle til patience. The only wonder is that he did not acquire a settled dys]>cp8ia. I was discouraged, and wept, and then went at it again. I thought I never should be able to prepare a well-appoint ed a meal, Uutjnst as I was on the point Of utter defeat, mother, dear soul, vlsit- ed Die, and then 1 was safe. When she heard my story, she gave me hints, but Said I had best keep on. She only tnonmedthat she had neglected this part of my education. “But, child, I erar thought of you marrying so young, ’our sisters are still yinglei .you were -ut a school girl, when Mark must take yob away.'’ : But with her coUiisSlsanff suggestions, and her dear smile, I defied lie world. Mother said before she left, .hat I was becoming an accomplished :o«k, and Chioe at last came back, and Ij was mistress of ms own home, in fact as 1 Well as in name. The next six months of my married life was plain sailing. The cottage be came-thd dearest spot on eartli..- I had forgotten Dr. Dale’r words, “Remember, dear child, whatever awaits you In the new life, that duty must be before pleas ure, and heroism is tlie fibre of every llfe.’t. -I lad conquered the cuisine.

Jn all toe relations of life he was ad mirable; a proyidcntnnd devoted bus- band ; n wise and affectionate lather; a generous and hospital neighbor; a liberal and public spirited citizen; an humble Christian, whose life, illus trated the profession of Christianity and adorned the Baptist church of which he was long a member. It is not strange that he should have .won r the reverence of all classes, and tha the community for which he has done so much should mourn him as a oom- benofactor.
