AX EMBARRASSING DAY, But I‘iramtnt Reonlt. ’ “I oouldn’t think of such a thing.” “ But you must. My happiness de pends on it. Here put . n the thingum bobs, and the what’s ils name.” And my friend, Bob Styles, held up before my hesitutiug gaze a suit of femi nine apparel. His idea was that I should personate Liar lady love for one day, to prevent any body from suspecting the truth—namely that she hud joined him in a runaway marriage party —until it should he too late for interference; that is until the j minister should have tied a knot between them, and nothing hut. a special grant of the Legislature could untie. This scheme was not actually absurd as it appeared at first sight. Maggie Lee was a tall, queenly woman, with an almost masculine, air, and, at that time, 1 had a very slight form—almost effeminate, so that, in fact there was really but little dif ference in that point. Then I had light hair, tolerably long, and a fresh complex ion. Part my hair in the middle, and pul a bonnet on my head, and few persons would have suspected but what I wa one of the softer sex. These accessories also gave me quite a decided resemblance to Maggie Lee, especially when, in this case, the disguise was her own. Then the day chosen for the runaway match was an auspicious one. Maggie s father was to drive her to D , a small village near where she lived, and there she was to join it sailing party down I) river to the grove three miles below, from wnich the party was to return in the evening, in carriages. Our plan was that T should be in wait ing in the village, and should go on the boat, with the sailing party, while Maggie, after leaving her father, should slip off with Bob Si vies, across the country. { :v.T’* ■’ !"•• - M* ol:o3Pto3a.l , niuiWM At last I got dre.-scil and pre.-onted m\- selt’ h'-for: Mancie I, i, blu.-hm. a go mi deal, 1 believe, feeling very much punli- ; id about the waist, and with an un. un ‘ sortable consciousness that mv —my — s shirt sleeves were too short or warning j altogether.

As for the pic-nic excursion, we had a di liglitful sail down to the grove, but somehow, I could not enjoy it as much as I ought !o have done. When l walked on board the beat, 1 felt awkward, as if every-hotb. was looking at me. 1 found Mr. i imby, 1 suspected a young and rising lawyer, mighty in Blaek.-tone and his opinion. He insisted on paying for my ticket, . the limit w.i.- a regular excur sion packet j and puivhr.-ing euougli of j oranges, p, :,rs and candies, to set up a ! street stand. Four nr live times 1 was) yn th • point of swearing at this impudent j offieiouaiicss, hut bit luy tongue just in I time to prevent exposure.—But it was 1 not with him that 1 found my role the ! hardest to pay. No ; the young; ladies were the difficult ones to deceive. For instance, there was j one among them, at- utiful girl of seven- i teen, just returned from boarding school. I who hud not seen Muggi. Lee for three years. Os course she delighted lo s eme when she found out i was Maggie, which by the way did not occur until we had started. She threw herself into my arms, pulled my veil aside, and kissed me half a dozen tin; s, i;j a inner that made my linger ends tingle for half au hour. It was all verv nice, but if I had be. u in propria -prrsmia, I would have iiLt 1 it bettor. As it was, f felt a- if 1 were “obtaining goods Under false pretences,” \ and that lawyer Bimby might issue a warrant for my arrest ol that ground at any moment. A whole knot of crinoline th u; surround ed me, on the upper deck of the butt, to the utter exclusion and consequent disgust of the other gentlemen. I kept very j quiet, only speaking in monosyllables, in a falsetto voice; but the others —Lord bless you how they gabbled! Under a strict promise of secrecy, the little bosrd ing-soliool maiden, who had kissed me af fectionately, revealed all her love affairs, and also become unpleasantly confidential about other matters —inuooent enough in themselves, but net customarily taliad cf between ladies'and gentlemen. | 1 was terribly embarrassed, but it would ! not do to give up then. As soon as my ‘ j trick should become known, Bob Styles’ | trick would also come out; and as the news of that kind travels fast in the couu i try and his lady-love would be telegraph : ed and followed before they could reach Philadelphia, where the Styles family lived, and where t’ e knot was to he tied. The river breeze was very fresh where we sat, and I noticed that several of the ladies were glancing uneasily at me. 1 couldn’t divine the reason, until Jennie, my little friend from the b ‘srding school, put her face dangerously close to mine, i. 1 w1 1 :-; ” ol: “My dear Maggie, your , -Itv-'is bhevit'/ up terribly high—your uncles will be town talk with the gentle men 1” Nor v.". • I eon- I. int having a very all loo: ;• • r ;t man, and had donned a p..!r ~f open work ; tickings which came up lo my wai.-t with a pair of gait t!

He east a languishing glar.ee at mo through tl . . la • veil, and 1. fairly began to seer for hi- feelings. We soon arrived at the grove, and found our hand —engaged beforehand— awaiting us. Os course dancing was the iir t amusement, and lawyer Bimby led me out for scuttishc. It was hard at first, for me to lake tho lady’s part in my dance, but I soon got accustomed to it. When a waltz was proposed I resolved to have a little amuse-mcnfeat the expense of the unfortunate Bimby. 1 laid at iir.-t made him purposely jeal ous by dancing'with Iwb'otlibr young fol low . one oi’ whom I knew iu my own | character, hut who never suspected me as ia. J ; Leva This young man who was a g"u at wuniun-kiiler—a sort of easy, devil may-ear • i u, who made the ladies lull slier him by his alternate warmth of ac tion and comiiess of protestation —1 selec ted to “ play off” again T my legal admir er. 1 allowed him to hold me very close ly and occasionally looked at him with a half fascinating expression.—When we slopped dancing he led me to u seat, keep ii: Ills ami around my waist and 1 per mitted it. Having thus stirred Bimby up to feats of wrathful valor, l asked one of the gen tlemen to direct the musicians to play wait/.. Bimby cam r immediately. “ Ahem—a—M i/s Lee, shall I—a, have j the ht-iior of—a—trying a waltz with ! )'ou ?” i . 1 ami). -.1 a graeie.ua acquiescence and 1 we commenced. Now, 1 am an old stager at waltzing, j 1 can keep it up longer than any non-pro fessional dancer, male or female, whom I I ever met. Vs long as the Cacbucha or ! S’ hounebruuneu ring iu my ears, 1 can : go on if it is for a year. ; Not so with Bimby. He plead want of | practice, and acknowledged that he soon I got dizzy. “ Aha, old hoy,” thought 1, “ I’ll give you a turn, then 1” .But I onlv /ailed and said “I should 1 probably get tired first ” “Oh yes':” he exclaimed, “of course; 1 eaa waltz as lung *s any one Ixdy, hut - iint, much more.” Ear the hist three minute* my cavalier i did well, lie went on smoothly and even ly, but at the expiration of that time, be- I gan to grow warm. Five minutes elapsed, and Bimby'* breath came harder. On we went, however, and I scorned to notice his slackening up at every r .und, I when he passed my seat. After some ten nr twelve minutes the wretched man gasped out between hi.* steps —‘ Ah, a— are you not —-get —getting tired r 1 Oh, no!” 1 burst forth as coolly xx if 1 were riding around t-i.o room —“ Oh no, i feel as if I o .Id waltz Ml night.” Tim look if s- spab- that he gave was terrible to . 1 was bound to *< 1 him through, how- S over, iwnl we kept at it. Binijiy stagger ed. *nd made “lips in all directions. Hit riiirt colls ‘ willed, his eyes protruded, hia jaw hung down; and all together, I saw he could not hold up much longer. “ This is delightful,” I said composed ly, “ and v<’a. Mr. Bimby. waltz so easily.” “Pusf —pusf—ah puff—yes—oh—puff— very —delightful,” gasped he. •• Don’t you think it ought to go a lit tle faster ?” He rolled his eyes heavenward in age -171T“ “ Ah. puff—ah puff—l don’t—alt puff— J don't knew.” Ho. 34.
