George Poynter, and “hair to a that pretty girl with

Mrs. Green grant it, of course,
and so would Letty, if she could.
“I want Letty to ride Rufus, my pony,
whilst I am at school. Papa has'no uso
for it, and it carries a lady beautifully.”
“But to accept this proposal would give
so much trouble."
“Not in the least, Tom—that’s our
groom—says it won’t, and papa says it
won’t, and I say the same; so please say
you’ll use the pony. Straps, the harness
maker, will lend a side saddle.”
Mrs. Green accepted fragile, George's offer, as
Letty was Father and pony
riding had been declared to be good for
her; hut Mrs. Green's income would not
allow of the expense, she said. There
were people who called Mrs. Green a
mean woman, and hinted that she loved
money better than her child.
George Poynter went to school very
cheery, because he had made such a cap-
|tal arrangement about his pony, and ho
often thought, when tlio weather was
fine, of Rufus, and wondered if Letty

sweethearts.
More years iiad passed, and brought
their changes. George and Letty were
alone together in a small book room in
Mrs. Green’s house, tho windows open¬
ing to the garden. George was attired
in deep mourning, and there were strips
of black ribbon here and there on Letty’s
white dress. They had been talking of
death and sorrow until both had become
silent. After a time Letty took George’s
hand, and said:
“Dear George, you must strive to
meet your great affliction with a brave
spirit—indeed you must.”
“I have—I do .strive,” replied George,
looking ber what away has from Letty; “but Two remem¬
cotno to rue. years

villain, Jackson, ruined ruined my father—

“Trust still to the father of the father¬

She raised George’s hand to her lips
when she had said this (they were true
sweethearts now), and he—wluit could
he do but press her to his bosom, and
kiss her cheek burning with blushes?
Mrs. Green had been walking in the
garden, Bho evidently bu^y with her thoughts.
had stopped near tho book room
window, near enough to hear what tho
iweethearts were saying to each other,
and sho appeared to be made more
thoughtful When by what she heard.
Mr. Poynter was a thriving mer¬

would perhaps love him more now tliat

was about to leave the shop
alter one of his long sittings, when the
younger lady said:
won't see me again, I expect,
Mr. Chauncey; I’m going to be married ”
“You married!”
“Yes, me; why not, I should like to
know?” asked tho lady, a littlo piqued.
“I’m sure I envy the happy man,” re¬
plied Chauncey. “It’s not tho Scotch¬
man at the shop door, is it?”
and “Well, I’m sure!” said the young lady
without another word she bounced
into the little parlor at tho back of the
shop.
“Now you’ve regularly offended
old Becky,” friends said Mrs. beadle, “and such
as you was—and sho to be
married to-morrow, and so respectable.”
Chauncey. “Well, I’m glad to hear that,” said
“Where’s the wedding to be?
I’ll buy a bundle of water cresses and
strew her way into church as an apology
for my rudeness.”
“Oh! she w'on’t want no apology from
you—she knows what you are Mr. Chaun-
cey; but she’s to be married at 10 to-mor¬
row, at St. Mary Axe's, but we don’t
want it spoke of, as the bridegroom’s
nervous,” said Mrs. Beadle, in a whisper.
“I’ll bo there in time,” replied Chaun¬
cey. “I suppose her father will give her
away—in full costume, cocked hat, staff,
and all that.”
“He will do all things that is proper,
Mr. Chauncey,” said Mrs. Beadle, with
much dignity, and Becky at that moment
calling Chauncey “Mother!” in rather an hysterical
tone, was allowed to find his
way out of the shop as ho pleased.
On tho following morning Chauncey
was at tho church of St. Mary Axe a
quarter of an hour before tho time ap¬
pointed unite Miss for Beadle tho ceremony which was to
lives’ end. and somebody to their
A halo old gentleman between CO and
70, perhaps, was the next arrival. Having
made some very confidential communi¬
cation to tho olu pew opener, ho was con¬
ducted, evidently in great trepidation, to
tho vestry, and there immured until the
arrival or tho tobacconist and family—
but without the emblematical Scotch¬
man. Miss Chauncey Beadle had concluded, therefore,
that captivated tho old
gentleman condemned now cell awaiting called his doom in tho
the vestry.
The Beadlo was in mufti, but his cos¬
tume still partook of tho splendor of his
office, and a canary colored waistcoat
with glittering buttons of ruby glass ren¬
dered him somewhat conspicuous even
in the gloom of St. Mary Axe. His gen¬
eral expression and bearing was that of
a tempered indignation, as though lie
were about to consent to the infliction of
some injury which he could avoid if he
pleased. A word, a look, might have
provoked him to have tom the license
from the parson's hands and to have
dragged Ins daughter from the altar.
Ho was therefore allowed to walk up the
aisle unmolested.
Mrs. Beadle was very lively on her en¬
trance to tlie black church—more lively, per¬
haps, than tea and the occasion
warranted; but, whatever had been the
stimulating cause of her cheerfulness, it
ran in plenteous drops from her eyes as
she approached the entirely altar, and by must end have of
been exhausted tho
tho ceremony. Niobo weeping for her
children would have been a dry nurse
compared with Mrs. Beadle.
Miss Beadlo was resigned, as became
her to bo at 31. With closed eyes and
drooping head sho leaned upon her
mother's arm released until, with her hand pardonable to put
confusion, she
up her parasol as she drew near tho altar.
Chauncey rushed to her relief, and with
some difficulty possessed himself of the
incumbrance, and as there wero no at¬
tendant bridesmaids the impudent fellow
attached himself to the wedding party,
to be, as ho said, “generally useful and
to pick up the pieces.”
The ceremony proceeded with all proper
solemnity, but there was some associa¬
tion with the name of one of the con¬
tracting parties which made Chauncey
fairly start, and then determine to wit¬
ness tho signing of tho certificate, to
satisfy a doubt which had suddenly en¬
tered his mind.
Tlie wedding party retired to tho ves¬
try when “Amazement” had ended the
ceremony, and proceeded to sign tho reg¬
isters attesting the union which had. just
been solemnized. Mr. Chauncey Gibbs
being, as ho said, a friend of tho family, liad
signed also, and there read—what
better be revealed in tho next chapter.
