"This is Hulla," said Mr. Meirs, with some pride ; " you doubtless remember her. This is your cousin John. 1 hope you have not forgotten him. What in the world makes you ' stare so, hussy ?

No sooner was j lie gone, than Delia burst into a ringing laugh, an.l exclaimed?" Jlow funny!" j Merriment is said to be contagious. John I refers laughed a response to Bella, and ho had n most beautiful way of doing it, which ISulIu, in spite of tho novelty of their situa- j tiou, readily acknowledged with ablush. " There has been a great mistake made," j said John, bowing sorrowfully, as though he would " a tale unfold."

" It ia- nil a mistake," persisted John, reddening ; " I never wore a wipei??y 1 ito 1'' " Then you must have colored it, for it was red ten years ago, and I used to laugh at you wheu 1 was angry, and advise you to keep one eye open when you slept, lest it act the bedcurtains on fire." " What an awkward situation !" cried John, | desperately ; 44 it is true, 1 am John Peters, I but not the John Peters you take me for, and ' as for having red hair, 1 never had that honor, I assure you." It was now Holla's turn to look surprised. <l And wlio are you, then '{" criod Holla, "are you not tolm Peters, of "Baltimore ?"

Indeed, how funny! Then! you are not. my cousin from Baltimore, and j what is stranger still, my father thinks you I 1 are.

" Well, the foot is, the whole thing is a mistake, from beginning to end, and was attributable to an advertisement in tho morning paper. Your father wanted a book-keeper and advertised. T saw the advertisement, and applied directly for tlio situation. Before fita- j ting my business, I introduced myself as-Pc- j tors, whereupon your father, forgetting there might be another John Peters in the world, bundled mo into an omnibus, and hurried me here before I could offer any explanation." " I low odd!" exclaimed Holla. " And you arc not my cousin, then,after all ; but.

" But I must explain the matter immediately, though 1 confess I dislike the idea of giving you up to the absent .John Peters," nnt swered our hero, with the same winning smile; I " especially as you have a natural uutipathy to cousins with red hair." " I duii't see the uso of explaining. Supposing we byth keep <juict, and let it go for granted that you are cousin John?what harm ?"

" ' ? vyii, it- numu o? ut;ii?imui : i do so liate to marry my cousin; besides, I like you a thousand times better. There isn't the least romance in marrying one's cousin as John Peters of Baltimore." Here llella laid her pretty white hand on John's arm and said, " Hut you don't care for me; of courso you wouldn't like to be | married to please inc. I don't blame you eij ther, for i wouldn't marry my cousin John if [ could help iw" ''On the contrary," cried John clamping tho little hand warmly, " I would givo the world for that happy privilege !" " Then you must promise me to keep still and let tin- matter rost as it is. You will, won't you !'' " Most certainly," answered John, " if it thus pleases" yon. 1 should be a brute to obi jeet, shouldn't I On his return, and to his no little delight, Mr. Moirs found Bella deeply interested in | cousin John. " J thought you would conic round," said j lie. T'iicbo girls arc uhv.iya perverse when their lovors are out of sight, but mighty warm-hearted and agreeable when they have once got together, llowbcit, I fancy there iw a slight vein of duplicity in the bust of thcirt, I do." I " O, no, papa, you shouldn't be so hasty in j your conclusion, for haven't J told you nil along that cousin John's hair was rod, and i that my principal objection was bafted upon j that fact. But you see there \9 a slight misi tr.ko ftomewhom, for his hair (pointing to the counterfeit cousin's) is quite dark and glospy. ! I most readily confess, papa, that 1 liko John ! very much?a gront dual better than I expeoi tpd. I do, indeed !" " 1*1)00," ?aid Mr. Meirs, cxaltlngly, "if , T wero in John's placo, I would just tako the I liberty to strike while the iron is hot. Thoro is nothing gained by delays, and hcnco you uiight be as fa* off the handlo as you were a week ago/' " O, no, T am not so fickle; but I will Icavo the whole matter-to you and John, whatever ho aokd you think proper, X will submit .?

"If lmfrghtbe allowed my preftjicnce in this respect," answered our hero, glancing at Bella for encouragonVoot, I would muohrather not mention it to my father and fviemls (ill afters irds, aud thus give i.hem an agreeable surprise.

With such prndoilco and. such charitable fcoliu^s, you will make your cousin John a pattern of a wife. I heartily agree with you in this respect, and you shall have it all your own way." Our hero, who in truth, independent of her person, had looked upon Italia as somewhut frivolous, was equally obarmed by her renuivk, and had the oceasiou warranted, would have pressed a kiss of approbation upon her lips. During the time which bad elapsed between this and the day set for the marriage oi' his daughter, Mr. iUeirs seemed cvcrHowcd with rood humor and enjoyment. Ho made several presents to the poor of his acquaintance, and even gave Bella live hundred dol1 lars to be used, if she chose, for the same purpose. 111 the meantime, our hero was livjng in the greatest possible intimacy with Bella.?Every day they walked, rode, and sunt* together while, the merchant looked on, and en| tered into their plans with interesting satisfaction. ? At length the long anticipated Friday arrived, and a few chosen guests were assembled at the residence of Mr. Meirs, to witness the nuptials. j John Pctors had exhausted liis Inst dollar | in remunerating the taiknr who had him his wedding coat, and by the assistance j of the harbor, who had trimmed his moustache cut and curled his hair after the most approved style, our hero was really as fine a looking fellow as could be found any where within the precincts of the city j and Mr. Mcirs and Delia were not ?\ little proud of introducing him among fi m aristocratic friends.? The paj-tor who i i aided over the church with which Mr. Moirs was conuccted had al I runny arrived, accompanied uy a clerical acquaintancc; while lJella, attired in a dress of white Satin, with a veil surmounted by a crown of flowurs, had just entered, resting on the arm of tho bridesmaid. .During the sensation created by the entrance of the bride, another door had opened, and a younp; man, some live feet four inches in height, with dusi ty garments and very red hair was pushed i,n by the servant, and with much amazement depicted on his freckled, unpropossessiug features, sank down in thr> rtrnrHKf fhuir- wiilir.ii* if. t rooting any particular observation at the time, from the rest of the company assembled. As the ceremony progressed, and the question was asked by the clergyman if any objection to the bans, ho of the rod hair and freckles rose up and said: "T object, Mr. Clorgymnn, most decidedly object.?" "jW'lint!" cried Mr. Meirs, springing toward and confronting the excited young man of the red hair and freckles. " And who are you that daro to object to my daughter's marriage with hor cousin? Will you explain yourself, sir V" cried the enraged Mr. Moil's, t-hnking his Hat in the face of the terrified intruder. Hpeak ! or by iny faith I will bundle you head foremost into the street!" " T can't, sir," cried the proprietor of the red hair, " while you continue bo excited V ".Then by my soul," cried the merchant, still more excited in his tono, " I'll just give you to understand that you hnvo no right to dictate in my own house!" Aud suiting tho action to tho word, he seized the intruder by I the shoulder, and forced him out of tho room. " Now," cried Mr. Meirs, turning to tho I elercrvinan, u please proceed with the eereinn I {," ' 4 ?yAgreeably with Mr. Meira request tho ceremony proceeded, and in less time than it takes to relate it, John Pctcra and Bell if were indissoluble united in the boudn of wedlock. No sooner was the ceremony over, than Delia, clasping her husband's blind, kuclt before her father and said?" l'orgivo us, dear ! father, for the deception wc huvo practiced upon you.
