giving me a feast before I left Ilhe country;

The farm is a dear d;
the lronse, and. itlooked so homely that from,
‘r'ty night. Donnell’s mother met .us at the,

I could scarce] bear it. f
a We had In great teardrinking in the parlor,
,and then we went out to the; kllcbe%:.8nd§

Squire Haunan needed no second lllVlld-,'

Gracie, and " Donnell saw no more o‘f-h'er',
smiles that night. She danced with. ‘ ilk;
Squire until it was time to gohome, and then ‘2
after she had set out for the town, escorted
by. him and her other beaux, Donnell's moth-z;
er kissed me, and Donnell drew my arm;
through his, and walked home with me
"across the snowy fields to, my- stepniolher’s
house. He was abusing Gracie all the way:
,aud I was, as usual, taking her part. , 3
, He came to see me one do soon after, and;
brought me a basket of love y winter pesto:
Heleaned against the wall and watched incl
,making the butter. He was disgusted with
Gracie, he said ; she was a flirt and he did
uOticare a fig about her, only he would not. '
bcmsde a fool of. SlieihadIrefuse‘d‘ to let
him walk with her across the bills next Sun--
‘ day, to the consecration of the new- church,
and if he did not get some token that she had-
chauged her mind between that and “Ila!!!
wduld never, be swore, look her away again
but go and marry" some one else, for spite.
“Oh, no, Donnell,” said I, “promise meonu ,
won’t do that l" 2 For I was sure that Gracie
liked him all the while. , I
‘iBut I will,”.said be, smiling; “at least, if
other people will have me.” ' I .,
“Oh, don’t, don't i” said‘ I; but he would
uotpromise. ' -' w .. -
“It's my miudfi’ said my stepmother, afl'cr
he had‘ gone, "that you lad‘s more like a luv,-
er of yours than here. Why don't you catch
him. and then you uwden't go to America."
“Mother i“ cried I, and felt the room spru-
ning around with me, till I caught and held
on bv'jlhe door. ’ j .
“Well, well," she said, “you needn’t look
so mad. ' Many a giil'd be glad of him.” "
I thought a great deal about how he had
sworn that he would marry some one else ill
he did ‘not hear from Gracie before Sunday.
“I'm "sure she likes him," I thought; “she
cannot help it. She must have seen‘ how
meanevon Squire Hannah look beside
"him the other night. And ithO Id. be a
most dreadful thing if he was married to
some one else he did not care about, if she
wanted to London. with a broken heart,to.a
“West End” uiilliner. - I thought about if,
and thought about it. There was no use go-
ing to Gracie, for she wouldouly. laugh and
mock at me. At once obrlgbt idea broke
into my head. I ' . .
sts afl'aid to think of what I was going
to do; but that night when my _ stepmother .
had one to bed, leavin'g me spinning somej
