But it must be '.old, a»inc time or other, und Mrs. Cnrleton piling, ed into the subject nt once on en tering Iter own clinrming little draw, ing-roont, where Nellie nwuitcd her. “Whnt n surprise I have hud, Nellie,” she said, nervously. “1 have met an old friend—somebody I used to know when 1 was a girl,” and Mrs. Cnrleton turned away to take olf her bonnet, for she felt conscious she was blushing. “And the idea ol blu liing nt my age!" said M rs. Carlcton to herself. But Nellie took no notice of her mother's blushes—she was prc-oc ciinicd witli thoughts of her own, and “somebody who knew her mother ns a girl” suggested some thing very middle-aged and unin teresting. She was thinking of Cuthbert Dennison, who Imd a very pleasant walk with her that after noon in Kensington Gardens, und site, too, rather Imped that her mother would not lake too much notice of her face. So the two ladies sat over their books that evening as though such interesting volumes !.nd never been written before, and dreamt dreams that were not unlike us mothers’ aud daughters' arc supposed to ho. Airs. Carlcton had been a widow for many years, and the old friend she had just met was her old lover. They hud quarreled and parted, and Imd married Mr. Carlcton. lint now, the old memories came lmek again. She wondered whether she had not been too quick to take of fense. However, it was all over, and why should there nut he a pleasant friendship between them in their late years? Ho hail asked lonve to eall nnd she Imd given it to him. There lay his curd before her— “Austin Leigh,”oiud lie hud not al tered so much ns ono might have expected—not so much us she had herself, and the widow sighed. Mr. Leigh culled the next day, Nellie saw him. Hu told her she was her mother over again, she rnthcr admired him us a limn of clcgancu and experience, mid soon he was thoroughly established on the looting of a family THcnd. He came and went withuut ccre- r wi.io Awuk.-1. mony; he oirered his escort to moth er and daughter ulikc; and soon Mrs. Cnrleton began to hear on ev ery side, praises of “Nellie's admi ration." “A little old for her, perhaps," said the inquisitive friends; “lull s* elegant, so distinguished, and well olf, too, is lie not?” Mr . Carlcton only shook Iter head und laughed; hut to herself she said: “It is very probable that those folks are right; the thing often hap pens Nellie is like me.

"Because 1 linvc heard women talk of being old when they look ed almost like girls,” said Mr. Leigh. “Helen, nt least, we are old enough to know our own minds now. Do you think I could mnko a woman happy? or am I whnt you culled inc once, a jealous old fool tlmt would make a woman's life wretched?" "Oh, I was a goose then yoii know,”said Mrs. Cnrleton, “I wns sorry afterwards; but, me, alt that was ages ago.” “And you understand whnt I mean?” said Mr. Leigh. “You know xvho I want for wife?” "I suppose I do,” said Mrs. Carlcton. “Cun I have her?” asked the gentleman. “Oh, Leighl” said Mrs. Carleton, "there indeed yon show that you are not very young. It’s not for mo to give her away. I can only give my consent to the mutch al ter have learnt her sentiments; and she—she may have some other fan cy. Nellie is an old girl. I find it hard to mnku sure of whnt she thinks. I—in fact, if you want Nellie, you must propose to Nel lie.” “Ah,” replied Mr. Leigh; “but see, Mrs. Cnriotoh, I no more want that Nellie than she would have me, 1 want you, my own Nellie, whom I have nerer eons d to lo/c.” When Nellie tile younger came home that night she wns x-cry pale, and her eyes shone wonderfully. Mrs. Cnrleton was alone, mid Nel lie sat down on the little stool at her feet. “Mamina,” said she, "I have something to sav to yen; Cuth bert proposed to mo lo-ifight, had ‘ accepted him. You don’t object, niammu?" “Oh ! my dear, I—such u fool a9 I am—object to anything?” cried Mi-h. Cnrleton. "I’m ashamed to look nt you child!" “Why?” asked Nellie. Then sud denly she stooped down, looked into her mother's eyes, mid said: “Mamma, I believe you have been doing tho same tiling.

Congress is having its righteous soul vexed hy a war claim for $55 —which has been vigorously press ed for fifteen or sixteen yeurs past —to indemnify nn Arkansas plant er for the loss of two white-faced liicfers during the civil conflict. Tills claim, thinks a Northern con temporary, is very much like one which wus before Congress nbout tlireu years ago, when a special act was asked to appropriate $8 05 ns compensation to private William llincs, of the Federal army, for the loss of a pair of breeches which hud been providentially consumed by fire. This hill passed the House, lint failed in the Senate, but it is though the wldte-laccd iiicfcr bill will not even nuke that much progress. Judge Hunt, of thu Supreme Court of the United States, should have resigned more than a year ago, when he became permanently dis abled to perform the duties of the office; but Judge Hunt won’t re sign until hu can retire with full pay, anil the only excuse that cau hu oirered for his refusal to resign without pxy is the fact that he is ns seriously impaired mentally as physically. As lie won’t resign nn- til he is paid to do so, the only ques tion for Congress to consider is whether lie had not belter bo put on the retired list at onre and get a new Judge to advance tho long- delayed causes of the Supreme Court.
