hours. There are also plying constant] between N.
Y. City and Norwalk, two steamers one euvin every
day, morning and evening, also, a s 00 Rom t e Ho-
tel once a week. thus afi‘ordi a varie of conveyan-
ces to and from the city. W thin K o a mile of the
Hotel are two churches, as well as numerous residences
of highly respectable families forming a settlement
at once agreeable and delightful to the so oumer. My
experience as a public caterer both Seat and East, is
that of acknoweledged ability to kee a first-class

hood that are unsurpassed; those who appreciate
aquatic s orts, will find the boating and fish ug une-

Polly’s adventures at the Warden House
were passed chiefly in. the school-room.
The children were reasonably good, and Mrs
Stapylton was abundautl satisfied with
her new governess’s chee ulness, skill, and
industry; but the first time she sounded her
praises to her husband, "the Captain replied:
“Don’t expect to keep the little woman long

am very much mistaken lfBob Livmgstone.
is not sweet on her, he always inquires after
her sO’amiably when we meet at the market
PO
1
e.
“Oh!” said Mrs. Stapyltou; and the next
time the meet was at the arden House, she
bade her husband invite Bob to ride over the
previous day, and sleep; ‘and she contrived
to have a lady short at dinner, and asked Pol-
ly to be so kind as to leavelesaODS for once,
and fill the gap; for' she was an amiable
woman, married after her own heart, and
would be glad, as she said, to give such a
nice little thing a chance.
Polly had the sagacity to leave her profes-
sion upstairs, and to come down charming
in her white dress and white ribbons, but
Bob felt it was not quite like having her to
himself at Blackthom-Gran c. Yet she was
much easier here, and fa ed, and was as
gay as any one. There was nothing in Pol-
ly ”to provoke or invite an impertinence.
' ‘he ladies made no difference with her, and
her face was enough a insure her kindness
at first sight fi-om men. If Bob was a person
to be influenced 1) other people’s opinions,
he heard many go den ones of Polly at the
Warden House, and all casually expressed
without reference to - him. Perhaps he did
carry away an idea or two ,of‘ her more mean-
in than any-he brought—Maggie certainly
be ieved it, and began to insinuate the same
in her letters to her f'i'iend-;'but Polly was
heedless and indifferent to «’Bob, ~‘and her
work and duty were much more in her head
than “nonsense,” which sufficiently account-
ed for her never responding to Maggie’s hints
and queries.
Easter did not linger, but was soon come,
bringing with it Polly’s second visit to the
Grange. It.was a lovely Easter that year,—
warm, sunny, serene as May, with hedges
green, pear-trees and cherry-trees in blossom
and even roses in bud under the shelter of
the eaves on the south wail of the old house.
They made it quite a gay season at Black-
tliorn Grange, and Polly, whose dignifies
had won easier already, entered into it with
all the naturaljoyousness of her temper and
time oflife.. She was exceedingly pleasant
about the house, and the many visitors,
kiusfolk, and neighbors ,who came there du-
ring her stay were charmed, and regarded
her with a si ificant interest which none of
the family discouraged. Mrs. Livingstone
w (1 walk her about the great walled gar-
den for an hour at a time, talking to her no
one but themselves knew what about, but
the two were excellent company to each
other, and often Bob made a third. Laura
was rather quizzical on the subject of Mag-
gie’s friend and her brother, but that
was her disagreeable way, and Faun
and Maggie made up to them for it by a
sorts of little consideratenesses, which they
profited by without observing. And eve
day some excursion was planned whic
threw them together. Now it was to Crans—
town Rocks. now to Haviiand Prio , and
one day, the most memorable of all, to eech
Grove, the Livingstones’ ancestral manor;i
Bob’s inheritance, where Maggie informe
Polly that he would most like y go to live
when he married and settled. It was an old
place) though not so old as the Gran e, and
it had fallen intosome neglect from aving
been let to a careless tenant, whose lease
was, however, nearly run out; but as Polly
said, “With a little trouble and taste it might
be made beautiful.” Bob asked how she
would go about to improve it, and as he trot-
ted her through the rooms and the garden,
be treasured up all her.1ittle views and opin-
ions, which she was perfectly free with, not
at all as if they were a matter of personal
concern. And perhaps they were not. Pol-
ly had faculty for planning and suggestiilg,
but she was not conscious of any peculiar
sentiment for the place as Bob’s future home
though everybody, himself included, gave
her credit for it. - -
And very happy Bob was in his illusion.
Polly was quite kind enough to please him,
and her shy trick of blushing, and her sud-
den vivacities and ea riees, soon charmed
his heart away entire y. And hers? She
was a mystery to, herself; she liked Bob ;
she liked to be near him; once, when he
took her by surprise and kissed her she was
not so furious but that he thought he might
someday venture again; in fact, if she had
given way to nature, she would have loved
him very sweetly and tenderly. But all her
principles were against givmg way, and
whenever she felt inclined to lapse into weak-
ness, she would recite to herself all her
mother’s litany of impediments, and pains,
and penalties in marriage. This suflimently
proved her in danger, and set her on her
guard a inst it, poor little Polly l-
Thc her visit was extended to a fort-
night, aud before half of it was over. the ser-
vants in'the house, the men on the farm, the
very dogs even, had learnt to demean them-
selves to Polly as to a little lady in whom
their master had ecial interest. ‘ Mrs. Liv-
ingstone, Laura, army, and Bob’s two chief
bachelor friends, were ready with their con-
absence of the principals would discuss their
private affairs without the smallest delicacy
or reserve. Only Maggie held herseifin an
attitude of doubt and this Laura treawd as
the supremest afi‘ectation. “You know your
precious Polly will say 'Yes’ the very first
minute Bob asks her, and be only too gladl?’
the quizzical sister would tauntingiy aver;
to which Maggie would make answer that
she only wished she was as sure of it as
Laura appeared to be.
'But Maggie could be sure of nothin .
Polly was a puzzle and trial to her at this
moment, and she was constantly trying to
solve her by all manner of cunning experi-
ments and questions. On their ,last evgiing
together she went so far as to say, in the
privacy of their bedroom, “I fancied once
you were going to be fond of. Bob .fbr my
sake, Polly and I’m disappomted in you.
You are not half good to him, you little cross
' g, and you look him in the face as flank-
l as any of us,—that’s a sign you don’t care
or him: tiresome toad that on are l” '
. “Bob’s eyes are blue," sai Polly, with ab-
straction, but as coolly as ifshc wererepeat
ing “two and two are four.” '
“You have no particularprejudice against
blue eyes have you l” iuqu red Maggie, in a
tone of affront. ' ‘
“No ! you dear old Maggie, way should
I l Yours are blue.” ‘
After a brief silence Maggie returned to
the charge: “You are coming to see us again
at Midsummer,—now you need not seek any
excuse, for I won’t take it! You are com-
ing to see us again at Midsummer. Say yea,
or don’t open your mouth.” Polly- kept her
4
with her e es open and her judgment unob-
sent whenever it might be required; and in the,
mouth shut. “Have you been struck dumb?
be friends with you again if you don’t.”
Polly’s lips still never stirred.’ “O Polly,
don’t be a silly little donkey 1 Look here,—
is there anybody loves you as much as I do,
unless it be dear old Bo ‘9 and you are going
to throw it all to the winds 1”;
“Yes, there’s Jane loves me, and I must
spend my Midsummer at home with her and
sny another,” said Polly, thus solemnly ad-
ure .
“That’s-all right ; but you’ll come here first
mica—I’ll shake you if you don’t.”
all did not exactly promise, but she
begge off her shaking with something Mag-
gie accepted as an equivalent; and in the
morning, when she was driven off to her du-
ties at the Warden House by Bob himself, it
was considered an understood thin , that at
Midsummer, before going home to ormin-
ster, she should ay another visit to Black-
thorn Grange. twas a lovely April day,
with the sun in full glow, and the orchards
all pink and white with apple-blossom. The
country Was vc fine and luxuriant between
the Grange and auswood, and Polly’s eyes
and soul took delight in its spring beauty.
She was feeling happy,—unconsciousiy hap-
py, and the radiance of her heart shone in
her countenalme. , Maggie, at whom she of-
ten lookcd round, thought she had never seen
her so sweetly pretty before; and Bob,
though his plan of courtship was all laid
out, and he had no intention of being precip-
itated, found himself more than once on the
brink of asking the question which would
decide both their fortunes.
“You wouldnot mind spending your life
in the country, Polly, little town-bred lady
as on are ?” said he, gay] .
“film the country best,’ refilled Polly.
hen you come to us at idsummer, I
shall have Stella ready, and you shall learn
to ride,—all the girls ride hereabouts.” '
“But they ride from children. Iain rather
timid; I am not sure that I shall like it.”
“I shall teach you m as ,” said Bob, as if
that would remove al difllculties, and he
glanced down at the little creature beside
him with fond admiration. None of her'
friends’ opinions of Polly had yet grown up
to her own estimate of dignity,—not even
Bob’s. He laughed indulgent] at her prac-
tical airs,- and called her his case and his
Blossom, with a tender patronage that she
could not repress, though she sincerely wish-
ed to do so. It seemed to Polly” sometimes
as if his will were the stronger, and controll-
ed hers, however she fought against it; and
that was the fact. Bob was not a particu-
larly profound person, but be perfectly fath-
omed Polly’s mixture of pride and shyness
lovingness, doubt, fear, and trembling to-
wards himself, aud he believed it quite in his
duty and business to tame her with kindness
—much as he was taming his beautiful shy '
filly, Stella; as for letting her go her own
way, or supposing she would defeat him in
the end, it never entered Bob’s head; and
had her mother’s warnings and philosophy
been laid before him, they would have been
far too strange and unnatural for his honest
comprehension. He religiously‘ believed
that every nice young woman wished to be
married, and why not Polly, who was so ex-
tremely nice ?
The drive to Lanswood was very pleasant
all the way, and when Paws left behind
at the Warden House, to ' it over, she
could not but- know why it had been so.
Love is the best of companions. “Dear Old
Bob, I’m afraid I should row foolishly fond
of him if I went often to lackthom Grange.
I had much better stop awa aMidsummer,”
said she, to herself; but per ups she did not
mean it. She was rather dull and absent for
a day or two, but she soon brightened up at
her work, which was not severe or disagree-
fortable, and she had no injuries or hard-
ships to make the notion of escape welcome;
but still she counted the weeks to the holi-
days, aud did not grieve to see them pass.
And in ever letter Maggie told her how
much nearer 'dsummer was, and mention-
ed many delightful parties of pleasure and
excursion which were standing over until
heart underwent that physical spasm which
she had described to her friend as afliicting
her before she set forth on her career a a
governess.
To go or not to go to the Grange b e
her thought by day and night. She was
pulled very hard both ways. She did not
deny to herself that the Grange was a happy
in peril there, while her head still approved
sistent and wrong to walk into temptation
soured. obody at the Grange denounced
marriage as a state of suffering bonda e,.or
chi!dren as a perpetual care; indeed, aura
though not so far gone as the were, frank-
curate because she did not like him; if she
had liked him, she should have no scruple
about accepting his proposal, and taking her
luck for what might follow.
' Polly had no notion of casting her burden
another people’s shoulders, or she might
have appealed to J one for counsel in the case;
Vere generally in accordance with her incli-
nations, secret or expressed. In this manner
she drifted into a decision that she would go
to Blackthorn Grange, but it should be for
was, in all her pretty dignity and grace, and
everybody in and about the house was talk—
ing about her and the master, and drawing
only one conclusion frOm this third visit
within the half-year.
. ‘ V.
Polly did not nd her position, under
these circumstances, at all unpleasant,‘—
rather the reverse, 'indeed. There was a
great deal going on at the Gruuo' ; never
was Maggie so busy in the kitche , or so lit;
tie at leisure to devote herself to her friend;
Laura and Fannie had, of course, occupa-
tions of their own, and were not going to be
troubled with Maggie’s darling; and so ' it
fell out that she was often left to Bob, who
had plenty of idle time on his hands, and
was glad to employ it. _
' The first morning after her arrival Polly
was introduced to Stella in a large, level
pasture-field, and Bob having put her in the
saddle with infinite care, and manyassur-
ances that she need not be in the least afraid,
led the retty creature slowly around the
field. hey were a capital match, he said
and, if Polly liked, Stella should be hers.
Then Polly had the bridle in her own hands,
and Stella walked quietly and obligingly
after Bob close to the hedge, arid then across
the field to the gate, where Mrs. Living-
stone stood, without being led. Mrs. Living-
stone said Stelia was admirably trained, and
a docile, fine-tempered thing;aud then she
commended Polly as sitting nicely and
straight up, and bade Bob mind and take
care of her. This lesson was repeated every
morning after breakfast, and Polly could
soori ride Well enough to be trusted on the
road with Bob and Maggie, and so they
took several excursions together, not very
long, and Polly made acquaintance and
drank tea informally at several neighboring
houses, where she was evidently welcome
for somebody’s sake besides her own.
Every time this significant sort of wel-
come was given her, olly’s heart suffered
that same physical wrench, and so it did
often when she was with Bob alone, and he
said kind words, and gave her kind looks
thatimpiied his love for her. He was never
rough with her now, but very quiet and
wary, as ifhe had an inkimg of that hidden
pang, and was watching for his opportunity
to speak without searing her, and so finally
to cure it. His wooing were not at all on-
like the process of breaking in Stella ; Polly
was quite as shy, as proud, as averse to bit
and bridle as that pretty thoroughbred ;_but,
once subdued, Bob thought she would also
be as good and as obedient to his hand.
Yet all this while that he was . eudeavonng
to make her compliant and tractable, Polly
was hardening her mind against him, and
rplexing Maggie more and more every day.
Elie had no fear of herself what she shou
answer if Bob were so rash as_to make love
to her openl (as if his daily life at present
was not all eve-making !) but she had many
doubts whether she had done what she ought
to have done in coming to Biackthorn
Grange. She had read very few novels, and
was a child for worldly wisdom; but she
knew it was not good for a governess_ to be
called afli'rt, and Mavgie said if she did not
like Bob, she was no etter than a 11m and
a. , to which Polly had replied that
she did like Bob, and she would not have
bad names fastened upon her. But both the
girls knew that tliely were talking at cross
purposes, and that {Icing meant very differ-
eut things in their vocabularies; standing
for downright true love in Ms. gie’s, and in
Poll ’s for a more general sentiment free to
all e world. _
Thus matters went on for a week. Bob
always confident and easy, Polly sweet with
him and savage with herself, and Maggie at
her wits’ end over the vanity and vexation
of other peo le’s courtships. “If," cogitated
she—“if Po iy behaves badly to Bob, she’ll
have such a fall in my mother’s esteem that
I shall never be allowed to set eyes on her
You are coming, I know you are 1 I’ll never
.munded Bob, startled out of his happy com-
ing me ; she is ever so fond of Bob, bless
Mrs. Curtis must be to have filled her with
of her 1”
The wrench at Polly's heart was very fre-
quently repeated at this time; it was renew-
ed, indeed, day by day. There was an old
friend of the Livingstone fhmily, a widow
lady, who often dropped in with her work
of an afternoon, and was quite in the confi-
dence of the sisters. She tried to take up
Polly in the same way, durin one of her
visits, and extolled Bob so high y that Mag-
gie sat in dread lest Polly should indulge in
one of those sharp, satiric speeches for which
she was famous at school when provoked.
But no; Poll sat humiliated and in pain,
listening to eeble anecdotes of Bob’s baby-
hood and boyhood, most of which she had
already heard from his mother, and wishing
she was safe at home and her trials and
temptations over. The family fI'iend plainly
assumed that she had a special interest in
Bob, or soon would have, and she did not
feel skilful enough to parry the assumption
without betraying that she understood it.
All Polly's feints consisted in refusing to see
what she (lid not wish to see. While the talk
was still at its hei th, down came a heavy
pour of rain, and ob strolled in from the
garden. Polly was in possession of his pe-
culiar chair, and quite simply, not meaning
any offence or expecting it to be taken, he
said, “Get up, Polly, and on shall sit on my
knee.” Polly got up, an would have step-
ped away; but Bob dcxterously intercepted
her and throned her on his knee, adding, in a
cheerful, explanatory tone, “She is going to
be my little wife, Mrs. Davis,—are you not,
Polay ‘2"
“ here go two words to that bar ain,”
said Maggie, and laughed nervously. oily
did not speak, but she made a gentle decided
move to extricate herself, her heart beating
with pang after pang, and her eyes turned
with pathetic entreaty on Bob’s face. Bob,
who loved her c es, smiled at their helpless
sweetnesa, and ought they were like his fa-
vorite setter’s when she cowered at his feet,
fearing punishment. He did not let her go
at once, and she did not struggle,—dignity
forbade,—-but she slipped away by and by,
and contrived to say pleasantly, that though
it might be a vast honor to sit on Bob’s knee
she greatly preferred a chair, at which Bob
lal'llg ed,'rather too incredulously.
he day but one after this was the day
fixed for Polly to go home. Mrs. Livingstone
was very kind to her, and hoped she'would
soon return for a longer stay; and‘fhis she
repeated so frequently that Polly quite un-
derstood that she had no doubt of it. Bob
out of her pain until the last morning when
she had begun to think she was to get away
without incurring the worst test. It was
settled the night before that she should go to
the station With Maggie and Laura in the po-
ny carriage, which had a front and back seat;
and when she had said good bye toMrs.
Livingstone and Fanny in doors, and came
out at the garden door in the morning sun-
shine, there was Bob in a light summer suit,
in the finest spirits, but excited withal.
“Are you going, Bob? I have put on my
driving gloves,” said Laura, who had already
taken the reins. ' _
“ You may drive and welcome; I on]
want to go to the turn of Pickett’sLanc ; I’ i
sit behind with Polly,” said he; and put her in
and followed hinlelf'. Then Maggie mounted
by her sister, and off the pony went at a
frisky trot.
Polly’s parting glimpse of the Grange was
able. In truth, her situation was very com- adorned by the figures of Mrs. Livingstone so in mourning, and a groom behind, who as-

her hand and crying, “Come back soon, Pol-

dominion of her face. Bob was there, and
watching her, and her heart- was all one

her coming. At every such allusion Polly’s great swelling pang. She would have given it’s just the same as ever i" and they kissed
anything for leave to cry, but this was neith-
er the time nor place for tears, and she had
forgotten her veil. Bob was apparently oc-
cupied with the landscape, but he did not
lose one change of her sweet face, "and pres-
ently he began to speak of liCl‘ul‘Cl-‘l‘il‘li‘w the

“That is what all ulen say beforehand ;

very nice yesterday; why did you let a fel-
low go on worshipping you, if you meant to

mean to use a‘ fellow so badly. Is-it true,
then, that you don’t care for me?. is it true
that you can’t be happy with me,—that you
won’t even think of it ‘2” '
There was no softening or promise in Pol-
ly's countenance. She was feeling that she
had come through the dreaded ordeal wou-
derfuily, and the pride and excitement Of a
complete victory over the traitor in her bo-
som sustained her. Bob was speechless for-
a few minutes. They approached the turn
of Pickett’s Laue. At the supreme moment
he looked at her once more with wratliful
love, and said, in a constrained voice, “Then
ou’ll have nothing to do with me, Polly ?”
Her heart moved with a cruel spasm, but
her, “NO, Bo ,” came out cold, curt, and
clear as a drop of iced water.
Bob stepped into the road as Laura check-
ed the pony; the bait was not for half a
minute, and he had disappeared, and Polly
was left to enjoy the triumph of principle
over natural affection.
Maggie understood but too well what had
happened, and, doing by Polly as she would
have been done by in similar circumstances,
she took no notice of her disappointing friend
until they arrived at the station. There
were not two minutes to wait, and the train
dashed in. Laura stayed outside with the
pony. Maggie took Polly’s ticket, saw her
luggage safe and herself in a carriage alone;
and then, just as the guard came along with
his whistle and “All right,” she kissed her,
and said, with a sob, “ I am awfully sor-
ry,lPolly; but it is our 0W1] fault. You de-
serve to die an. 01 maid, andI believe you
will l” p - VI
It may, perhaps, be anticipated that Polly
repented at once, for she was certainly fond
of Bob; but it cannot confidently be averrcd
that she did. When she arrived at home,
her mother and J one thought her looking re-
markably. rosy and well; nothing was ob-
served to be the matter with her spirits, and
as she kept her own counsel about Bob’s of-
fer, she had neither praise nor blame to en-
dure, nor question, nor comment, nor criti-
cism. Mrs. Sanders did once remark,
“You have not picked up a been in the coun-
try, then, Miss Polly ?” and her mother did
rejoin that she hoped her girls had more
sense than to dream, Of beau-z, but that. was
the nearest allusion to the subject; and when
the holida s were over, she went back to the
Warden ouse and resumed her schooiroom
work, in her orderly stcmatic way, as if
she had not a care or a thought he 0nd it.
For a month or two Mrs. Stapylton ived in
daily expectation of a notice that she must
provide herself] with another governess; but
no notice coming she concluded that Polly
had missed her chance, and as she suited her
admirably in every way, she was not sorry.
Mag ie’s letters were not much less frequent
or aéectionate than former] , but Polly was
not invited again to spen her holidays at
the Grange, as was very natural. Nor did
the meet. People may live half a lifetime
Wi in a few miles of each other, and never
meet, if neither desire it‘, and the three years
Miss Mill had decreed as the shortest time
any governess who meant to prosper in her
vocation should stay in her first place went
over without ever bringing the two friends
within e esi ht of each other again.
Nobo y died, meanwhile, and nobody was
.brokcnhearted; only Mrs. Livingstone was
onccheard to say, bitterly, to Maggie, “Don’t
let me hear any moreof your Pol y Curtis l”
and henceforth Polly’s letters were read in
private and her name was ncv entioned
at the Grange. Bob was not the an to rave
over a disappointment of the heart; he was
more inclined to console himself in a way
her own discretion, for she has the dearest
little warm heart in the world for them that
love her ; and she need not think she is blind-
her! only she is persuaded that she’s out out
for a single life. What a silly, selfish woman
such notions! I have not patience to think
vest in. the; fashions.
' knew it until she was dead (she died last Oc-
ularried and gone, and that Mrs. Livingstone
was no longer the active, strong house-motil—
er she had been. And an unconcious change
had come over Polly herself. Aswecter lit-
tle woman to behold there was not, for nor
near, though she dressed herself indifferent-
ly, as women do who have no desire or ex-
pectation of attracting. She had greater for-
titude at her ,iedious work, and never flaw-
ged; she improved herself by private stud;r
and had cconomized a few pounds, which
she meant to carry her to a foreign school,
where she proposed to teach English in're-
turn for lessons in music and languages.
Mrs. Curtis approved of her entirely, and
Jane had ceased-to complain. Yes, Polly
was most exceedingly reasonable, and prac-
tical, and was an anxiety to no one; yet
sometimes a terrible sense of isolation would
come over her, and she would cry softly,
With that Old spasm of the heart, “ 0, what
a fool I have been i” as if she was sorry for
some pastgirrclrievablc blunder. She had
no longer the conceit of her own strength
that was so obtrusive in her at seventeen.
She had heard other people talk besides her»
mother and Mrs. Sanders, audio a loving,
kindly family where she was domesticated
she saw quite tile other side—the happy side
—of‘ married life. But she was naturally rc-
served, and as she had religiously kept her
one offer to herself, so she kept her repent-
ance (if it was repentance), and at the three
years’ end she prepared to change the scene
of her life, and go to Germany.
Maggie Livingstone shed a few vexed tears
over oiiy’s letter which brought the first
announcement of her projected travels, and
her brother Bob surprised her again, as he
had surprised her on the original occasion
which led to Polly’s first visit to the Gimme.
“Going to Germany, is she ?" said he, whzlzn
the communication of her affairs had been
made to llim,——“going to Germany—”
“Yes, and I shall never see her again very
lik'ei . Poor little Polly! I was so fond of
her, ob i” . ' .
“Other people were fond of her, too, Mag-
gie, but it was no use; she has not a bit of
heart.”
“ Don’t say that, Bob; she has heart
enough for anything, but her head was cram-
med with ridiculous theories and nonsense.
I dare say 318 is wiser now.” .
“We are all of us that when it’s too late,”
rejoined Bob, and walked out of the room.
softly Whistling. »
It was the same evening that Maggie, ad-
dressing her brother, said : “Bob, you’ll drive
me into Lanswood on Saturday; I 'have
gins’ shop, if it is fair, for a last walk and
talk together. I can’t bear the thought of
letting her go so far from home without a.
word of good by.” ‘ -
“All right, Maggie,” said Bob, with seem-
ing indifference, but Maggie knew better
than tobciicvc it was real. She felt sure that
when he did not hear or answer her further-
talk that he was musing of Poily,—perhaps
whether she was wiser or not now. .
Polly was touched by Maggie’s longing to
see her again: “Dear olclblaggie, size has
forgiven me at last,” she said.
Polly arrived first at the place of their ap-
pointment, and waSositting up stairs in Miss
Wiggili' show-room when the Grange dog
cart st pped at the door. She looked out
with a pale little emotional face, and the
cruel wrench at her heart; but no one look—

in mourning, and iaggic and a little boy :11-
sisted Maggie to alight, and then lifted the
child down and set him on the pavement by
her. Maggie took the boy by the hand to
enter the shop, and Bob drove off up the
street, and was out Of sight before his sister
could mount the stairs. Polly stood fronting
the door, and as Maggie caught a view of
her she cried: “Bless thy bonnie face, Polly,
with all their old love that used to be be-
tween them. And, of course, they cried a
little together, until the appearance of Miss
Wiggins, intent on business, obliged them to
clear their countenances, and take an inter-

“He is like Bob,” said Polly, and blushed
with soft surprise. >

child’s face to look at him again.
“He’s pretty,—isu’the? It was after—you

heir. Bob doles on him, and lily motherloo;
she insisted on having him brought home to

again you’ll see ‘Alicc, the faithful wife of
Robert Livingstone,’ on the family monu-
ment. She was quite a common person, and
Bob would never have acknowledged her in
my mother’s lifetime; but there’s the story,
and not so bad as it might have been. She
was handsome, and she loved Bob, or she
would never have borne being looked down
on as she was for his sake, or have kept his
secret. However, it is out now, and she is
gone—”
“Hasn’t Arty eaten sweetics’ enough for
once ?” insinuatcd Polly, caressing the child,
but making no response to Maggie.
“Yes; we the box to aunty toput in her
pocket,” ilaggic said, and Arty with a little
unwillingness yielded it up.
Then the spring coats were looked at, and «
one chosen, and a garden but, and Arty was
put to sleep for an hour on- Miss Wiggius’
bed, while Polly and her friend took a walk
by the river, and continued their conversa-
tion. All the news was on Maggie’s side.
Polly had none,—literally none.
“And you never will have any while you
go on living to yourselfi—your interests will
lessen every day you live. 0 Polly, it makes
me sad to look at you, and think what might
have been,” said Maggie tenderly.
“Never mind ! Let bygones be bygones,”
said Polly; but there were tears in her eyes,
and almost a sob in her throat.
Then they discussed Funny and Laura
and Maggie’s‘ private concerns, which were
in a promising way, and the time went. so
swiftly that they were five minutes behind-
the hour agreed on for Bob to take his meter
and little son up at Miss Wiggins’ shop to go
home. The dog cart, however, was not at
the door, and Maggie said she was glad, for
Bob did not like the more to be kept stand-
ing. They ascended to the show-room to
wait, and lie was not long in coming; he
was too soon, indeed, for half they had to
say. At the sound of the wheels in the
street, Polly offered herself for a last hug of
her friend’s kind arms, and Maggie was all
in tears.
“You’ll come down and speak to Bob just
for a moment ‘1’” said she, and Polly suffered
heart in her face.
' Bob evidently expected her, though he
colored when she appeared; and as he lifted
his but, she saw he was ever so much Older,
but he had his kind rallying smile for her, as
he said: “You wear well, Polly; better than
most of us, I think.”
“It is a calm life at the Warden House,”
said she quite with a shaken voice.
“And so you are going all the way to Ger-
man ,—goillg by yourself?”
“3 cs.” She had to stand aside for Mag-
gie and the child to reach their places, and
from the step of Miss Wiggius’ shop she
waved them all her good by. She was still
standing gazing after them, when Bob look-
ed round before turning the corner of the
street. and told Maggie to dry her eyes and
not fret.
“I can’t help fretting when I think I shall
perhaps never, never see her again; di-nr lit-
tle thing that she is! 0 Bob, if you had
only waited to ask her till now that she's
come to a righl.seilsc of things.”
Bob made no answer to his sister’s ruef‘ui
adjuration; lie was lost in thoughtof‘ Polly’s
beauty and Polly’s sweetness, as they were
once and were still, and wondering whether
she would have anything to do with him
now.
Perpaps you can guess how it all ended,
and I need not tell an more.

WTlic recent riot in Texas was report-
ed by the associated press as having been
entirely the work of negroes. The mails
bring the Texas newspapers, and they testi-
fy that the riot was incited by rampant reb-
el democrats who sought a pretext for kill-
ing colored Union men. Governor Hamil-
ton concurs in this testimony. Fifty negroes
were killed, but not one white suffered se-
rious injury. The rebels had taken the pre-
caution to disarm the men Whom they in-
tended to murder. A Texas journal says:
-“Tiie rebels of Texas are to-day better
armed and organized than they were during
the late civil war. They are looking for-
ward to the Presidential election, and the
refusal to count the fwhitc man’s’ electoral
votes Of the southern states, which they
propose to elect in informal elections, as
they did the delegates to the secession con-
vention in Texas in 1860, as furnishing the
time and the occasion for the renewal of the
rebellion under the auspices of the Presi-
dent of the United States.” A colored wit-
ness corroborated by Gov. Hamilton, testi-
fies that the leaders of the massacre were
three prominent rebels, residents of Mil-
lican.
