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 \ M.nw wero /1 rirlincr riding V»im him. flpAri/rt George had llflH riAf not fnr. for- gotten, and perhaps Letty had tliat called years—yi thi ears emselves ago ho 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 ago my father died. A A year vi before that villain, Jackson, ruined ruined my father— broke liis heart—killed him. O Letty! what have I done to deserve tliis? What can I do?” “Trust still to the father of the father¬ less,” replied Letty. “Wo do uot know overtake why great afflictions aro permitted tell to us any more than we can why least great good deserve comes to us when we You expect or it, dear George. are young, clever, good and have many friends, and one—who is more than a friend. ” 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.

She knew that loved her first sweetheart, and would perhaps love him more now tliat he was jxior.

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. V. Any one had only to have walked down tho High street of St. Gnats to have known tliat Christmas was at hand. Tho grocers’ windows wero overrunning with lusciousness; the butchers’ shops wero so choke full of beef and mutton that the butchers themselves would In¬ to cut their way out into tho street : s - poulterers had laid in such stocks of tur¬ keys, geese and eliickens, that Mr. It !>- base's calculating machine could alocn have computed them—mere human.in¬ tellect would have failed. The window frames of tho houses seemed sprouting with holly and “the ivy green,’ and no doubt but mistletoe hung, kiss provok¬ ing, within. Sirs. Green had made every roomjn her cottage an anagram of her name, as it was holly decked everywhere. Nor was the sacred Ijough forgotten “on tlie young people’s account, she said, “though Letty and Georgo had Jong ceased to want an excuse for a kiss. George Povnter was waiting tho ar¬ rival of his friend, Chauncey Gibbs. A glorious lire blazed within tlie grate; the table was spread to welcome the coming guest, for whose delectation a faultless rum list eak pie was browning in the oven. The * train, punctual to its time, was heard screaming into the station close by, and in a few minutes after tho two friends were together. tantalizing to If you are hungry it is of dinner you listen to the particulars if are a sated, you are not to snare; recapitulation you of dain¬ are bored by the ties you care not to touch, and tnevetore we will allow the friends to take their neal in peace.

I am afraid, knowing tlie hands he lias fallen into, tliat ho won’t have a will of his own when a few months have passed,” now the matter said Chauncey. about. “I found Old Silas out came was very ill, and wouldn’t have a doctor; but—a Beadle, I call him—got at him, and then introduced his daughter as nurse. to death, They arid first then physicked brought liirn him nearly round with bottled porter.
