Levd smiling from b'iiii.d her vnee
tncles to the yoiin^ ?rir! behind h?r.

what a fortune to bo sure!"
' i'll accept it. grandma, and priz<
it, if you will only add your K\vee
cJhtonted disposition. It would be :
fortuno which none of U3 need dc
spise."
Janet Leeds was the youngest o
the family, and the plainest. Sin
ha-d a sweet, frci>h face, and tondci
even; but these paled into ugline*:
ik'iore Loiiiu'r? bloek orbs jiik! ?-hit.iii .
curie. mid the Jorclinessof bullc Mai*
garet. So biiO settled back like i
modest violet in liio chimney corner
und^waited on grandma. or assiutec
the maid in the iioiinework.
Once in a while she ventured out I'
a parly in the village, but so i?ehion
that people never observed her. Tha
made it unpleasant and she stau
homo still cloj-cr.
But on that morning, while the^
t?itt chatting with grandma, f*lu; felt i
deal of real discontentment for the
firt?t time in months.
Clara Boswcrdi her hf - friend
was to give a party that evening, am
she could not go. r wecksptvpara
lions had been going on in their quie
family. Siio had given uj) the inu:i<^
saved for a new win lor clos.k. Lha
Lclliu'.s green vi!!c might Ins re trim
med for the occasion, and the bus
dress she had in the world was a pla:?
garnct-coloreu popliu with black vol
vet triimnit.gs.
She had iainlly suggested that sh
might wear that, but t lie cry of did
i.iav from her sisters silenced her.
' uo and wear that old poplin!'
cried Lettie, from the clouds of whit
billowy lacc that was to adorn th
green silk. "You must be crazy !"
'X should think so." chimed ilarga
ret, who was fitting a lace bertbo ovu
the waist of the delicate lilac satin
'Do }*ou want Austin Bosvvorth t
think us a family of paupers? It i
to be a grand ail air. and Clara expect
all who hoj.or it with their presenc
to pay her respect enough to dreti
respectably. It is Austin's first a[
pcarance after the European tour, an
surely you do not want him to thin
mean of us?"
The tears came np, but Janet wa
brave and no one saw them.
That night, when the two girlsthe
one in her dark beauty and wot
derfully becoming array, the other a
delicacy, her fair, pearl loveliness ei
hanceu by the pale purple color of hi
splendid dress?came laughing int
room, a little shadow darkened Ik
lace, and she foundjt very hard 1
keen back the te:\ra.
Fine leathers mako fine birdn, hi
fine birds do not alwaj-s sing tl;

little singing bird, Janie, and tho
dearer than a dozen fi:io ladies. Au
tin and Clara will come to-morro\
and ho will tell us a'll about his trave
in foreign lands, and you will bo fi
happier than you would be up at tl
houso to-night, with dancing and co
fusion."
"I suppose so, grandma," and Jani
took her seat by tho fire and went c
knitting with a peaceful smilo.

public opinion or the will of the

Leopold, belonging to 0110 of the

ihrono of Sjjain. Prince Leopold is
unoi joctionuble on personal ground:},
and 1.1*3 candidacy is believed to have
the support of the great chief of his
family, King William of Prussia.
ljis>in.irci:'sj ciafty hard is thought to

protection of Prussia, and the feelings
and interest?; of tiie two nations

I icon won!.! have a German king on

Thus circumstanced, Napoleon has
no choice but to employ all his diplo
