I My visitor rose-a proceeding h, that always reminded me of the p genii emerging from the copper r vessel, as he measured six foot w three-and stood looking reproach- ti fully down at me. "You are in a great hurry to get C rid of me," he said. t< Now I didn't agree with him, for he had made his usual call of two n hours and a half; having, in coun- F try phrase, taken to "sitting up". y with me so literally that I was c frequently at my wits'. end to sip- I press the yawn that I knew would bring a troop after it. He- was a fine, manly looking fellow, thi's John Cranford, old for his age-which was the rather boy. ish period of twenty-two-and every way worthy of being loved. t) b But I dida't love him. I was seven years his senior; when instead of letting the worm of concealment prey on his damask'cheek, he ven tured to tell his love for my mature self, I remorselessly seized an Eng- g lish prayer book, and pointed c U sternly to the clause, "A man may ( not marry his grandmother." That d was three years ago, and I added encouragingly : "Beside, John, you a child, and s don't know your own mind." "If a man of nineteen doesn't .A know his own mind," remonstrated li my lover. "I would like to know g who should. But I will wait for y you seven years, if you say so fourteen-as Jacob did for Rachel." I "You forget;*' laughing at hisin way of mending matters, "that a t< woman does not improve with age. But seriously, John, this is absurd; tl yon are a nice.boy, and I like you ca -but my feelings toward you are more those of a mother than a tl wife." d - The boy's eyes fiashed indig Antly, and before I could divine a intention he had lifted me from n ~t where I1 stood and carried ti me fashion to the sofa, at a the o & the room.a "I .coul st find it in my ft heart to shake t-1he muttered, as he set me ~wn with emphasis. n This was r her like the court- e ship of William of Normandy, and d matters prouiised to be quite~ex- t< iting. "Don't do that again," I said f< with dignity, when I recovered my t< breath. tl "Will you marry me !" asked n John, somewhat threateningly. a "Not just at present," I replied. "The great, handsome fellow," I ti thcught, as he paced the floor rest- fr lessly, "why couldn't he fall in love t: with some girl of fifteen, instead of ~ setting his affections on an old , maid like me? I don't want the boy ci on my hands, and won't have him !' "As to your being twenty-six," pursued John, in answer to my ~ thoughts, "You say it's down in the family Bible, and I suppose it must be so; but no one would believe it; and I don't care if you are fortyc You look like a girl of sixteen, and yu are the only woman I shall F ever love."d 0 John, John ! at least five mil lions of men have said the same a thing before in every known lan- ' guage. Nevertheless, when he fairly t breaks down and cries, I relent- a for I am disgracefully soft-hearted n -and weakly promise then and there that I will either keep my a own name or take his. J And John looked radiant at this b oncession, for love is a very dog c< in the manger. It was a comfort a to know that if he could not gather o the flower himself, no on else it A sort of family shipwreck had rafted John to my threshold. Oar wn household was sadly broken ip, and I found myself, compara. ively young in years, with a half avalid father, a large house, and cry little money. What more atural determination than to take oarders? And among the first rere Mr. Cranford and his son ,nd sister, who had just been rrecked themselves by the death f the wife and mother in a foreign nd-one of those sudden, unex ected deaths, that leave the sur ivors in a dazed condition, because t is so difficult to imagine the gay rorlding who has been called hence ito another state of being. Mr. Cranford was one of my ad-. iirations from the first. Tall, pale. ,ith dark hair and eyes, he re iinded me of Dante, only that he as handsomer; and he had such general air of knowing every Aing worth knowing (without the ast pedantry. however) that I was nite afraid of him. He was evi ently wrapped up in John, and atient to his sister-which was sking quite enough of Christian biarity under the sun, for Mrs. hellgrove was an unmitigated nui xnce. Such a talker! babbling f her own and her brother's affairs -ith equal indiscretion, and treat ig the latter as though he were an icapable infant. They stayed with. us three years nd during that time I was fairly ersecuted about John. Mrs. Shell rove wrote me a letter on the sub et, in which she informed me iat the whole family were raady to ceive me with open arms-a pros ect that I did not find at all al iring. They seemed to have their earts set upon me as a person eculiary fitted to train John in the ay he should go. Everything, I as told, depended on his getting ic right kind of a wife. A special interview with Mr. ranford, at his particular request, )uched me considerably. "I hope," said he, "thatyou will ot refuse my boy, Miss Edna. [e has set his heart so fully upon ou, and you are everything that I :uld desire ingdaughter. I want me one to pet, I feel sadly lone r at times, and I am sure you -ould fill the vacant nich." I drew my hand away from his %ress, and almost felt like hating ohn Cranford. Life with him ould be one of ease and luxury; at I decided that I had rather eep boarders. Net long after this the Cranford's ncluded to go to housekeeping, ad Mrs. Shellgrove was in her lory. She always came to lun eon in her bonnet, and gave min te details of all that had been one and talked of about the house i the last twenty-four hours. "It is really magnificent," said de lengthening out each'syllable. Brother has such perfect taste. nd he is actually furnishing the brary, Miss Edit , after your sag estion. You s.. we look upon on quite as one u. the family." "That is very good of you," I re lied, shortly; but I certainly have o expectations of ever belonging > it." Mrs. Sheligrove laughed as 2ough I had perpetrated an ex ellent joke. "Young ladies always deny these ings, of course; but John tells a ifferent story." I rattled tie cups and saucers ngrily; and my thoughts flew off, ot to John, but John's father, sit .ng lonely in the library furnishald fter 'my sudgestion. Wasnt it, fter all, my duty to marry the imily generally ?, The house was finished and oved into, and John spent his venings with me. I usecd to get readfully tired of him. He was >o devoted to be at all interesting, rid I had reached that state of eling which, if summarily ordered take my choice between hlm and ie gallows, I would have prepared yself for the latter with a sort of Lacrity. I locked the door upon John on e evening in question, when I had nally got rid of him, with these iings in force; and I meditated hile undressing on some desperate Love that would bring matters to a iisis. But the boy hadi been roused at ist. He, too, had reflected in the 'atches of the night; and next day received quite a dignified letter -om him, telling me that business lled him from the city for three r four weeks, and that possibly on is return I might appreciate his evotion bette'r. i felt inexpressibly relieved. It ppeared to me the most sensible iovement that John had made in de whole course of our acquain. mce, and I began to breatbe with iore freedom. Time fle w, however, and the three eeks lengthened to six, without ohn's -return. He wrote to me, at his letters became somesh~ ustrained; and I sit n 'hat to make~of N.oses It of pep nly give me Ye'for any good qua~ alt sure tha%upy only a5small4 liiMN ldusfl ie should either become Edna Cran ford or remain Edna Carrington. "Mr. Cranford," was announced one evening. and I entered the par lor fully prepared for an overdose of John, but found myself con fronted by his father. He looked 'Very grave, and in stantly I imagined all sorts of things, and reproached myself for my coldness. "John is well ?" I gasped finally, "Quite well," was the reply, in such r cind tone that I felt sure there was something wrong. What it was I cared not, but poured forth my feelings impe tuously to my astonished visitor. "He must not come here again !" I exclaimed. -I do not wish to see him. Tell him so, Mr. Cranford! tell him that I had rather remain Edna Carrington as ie made me promise, than become Edna Cran ford." % "And he made you promise this?" was the reply. "The selfish fellow! Bnt, Ednon, what am I to do with out the little girl I have been ex pecting ? I am very lonely-so lonely that I (1o not see how I can give her up." I glanced at him. and the room seemed swimming around-every thing was dreadfully unreal, I tried to sit down, and was carried tenderly to a sofa. "Shall it be Edna Carrington or Edna Cranford ?" he whispered. "You need not break your promise to John." "Edna Cranford," I replied, feel ing. that I had left the work en tirely, and was in another sphere of existence. -If the thought crossed my mind that Mr. Cranford had rather cheer fully supplanted his son the pro ceeding was fully jugtified during the visit which I soon received from that young gentleman. I tried to make it plain to him that I did him no wrong, as I had never professed to love him, though not at all sure that I wouldn't receive the shaking threatened on a pre vious occasion, and I endeavored to be as tender as possible, for I felt really sorry for him. To my great surprise John laugh -ed heartily. "Well, this is jolly !" he exclaim ed. "And I am not a villian after all. What do you think of her, Edna?" He produced an ivory-type in a rich velvet case-a pretty, little, blue-eyed simpleton, who looked about seventeen. "Rose,' he continued, "Rose Darl ing; the name suits her, doesn't it? She was staying at my uncle's in Maryland-that's where I have been visiting, you know, and she was such a dear little confiding thing that a fellow couldn't help falling in love with her. And she thinks no end of me, you see; says she's quite afraid of me and all that." John knew I wasn't a bit afraid of him; but I felt an elder sisterly sort of interest in his happiness, and had never liked him so well as at that moment. And this was the dreadful, news that his father had come to break to me when his nar rative was nipped in the bud-by my revelations and the interview ended in a far more satisfactory manner than either of us had an ticipated. So I kept my promise to John, after all; and as Miss Rose kept her's, he is now a steady married man, and a very agreeable son-in law. LIsTEN, Boys !-Wentworth says, "The boy is father of the man;" and the Cleveland, Ohio, Farmer offers this good advi to aspiring boys: "The highess tainment for you, my boy, is to be a man. This world is full of counterfeits. But it is a grand thing to stand upright in defence of truth and principle. When persecutions come some hide their faces until the storm passes by; others can be bought for a mess of pottage. From such an one turn away. But stand by a friend; be a man; do not run away when danger threatens to overwhelm him or yourself. Think for your self. Read good books and read men's faces. The eye is the win dow to the soul; use your eye and hold your tongue. If opposition comes, meet it manfully. If success crowns your efforts, bear it quietly. Do your own thinking and keep your own secrets; worship no man for his wealth nor his lineage. Fine feathers don't always cover fine birds. Be sober, be honest, be just in all your dealings with the world; be true. ,.phey will sell youi?%rmoney or popularity; don't trust th ear but one face and let that an honest one.

"Oh ! it is, is it ?Well, you go out there and see. Why my friend, I have paid $1.50 for a cup ofcof'ee, $2.75 for a glass of beer, and $4 for a horn-handled jack-knife with one blade. I have been in the mountains with a party when a chew of tobacco was put up at a raffle, at a dollar a chance, and if the winner of the tobsco finally got away with it, he had to dodge the contents of the revolvers of the party and keep out of sight for a week.
