In fact, I was often exces ely rude to himn, which had an effect reverse of that desiredl, and his its and attentions increasetd every larvey, in thes meantime, '.as as entive to Miss Baker, antd it was ca maported that they werc engaged; I .edh I wnM comnelt belie.e It ruig. % Harvey had not been to the house since that last day, over three months ago; aid now imanina and papa did not mnention hifn. I never teld them tle c'aise of otir iluarrel, and they 80011 coased to fillestioin nie, though I could not help suspecting that they knew. At last, one day. Poynter Smith asked ine, in a stupid, blundering sort of way, if I wolild be his wife; where upon I inforined him, in a manner suf ficiently positive, that I most assured ly would not. His surprise was im liense., ald lie Seellied to think I must have made a uistake; wanted to know if I really miant it, and said that I louild.have everything I wanted. But the more he insisted tile mere emphatie I becaie; and he at length took leave, saying that if I should change my iniud I nmist let himi know. As soon tas lie vas gone I told mam ina all about it; and then she drew fromt me tile story, told with many tears, of Harvey's declaration, and how I spurnied it, anti lo miserable I had beeii ever since; and now he was en irate4 to soiebody else, and I would nIever narry anybody. After sobbing a little with iny h eadl in her lap I felt a great deal better, and that it would not be so hard to lie an old maid after all. My only regret was that, old as I might consider niyself, no one else could pos sibly coisitter tile so for ten years yet, and yet duriIg all that time I should be obliged to go into society. A few days after this mamma and papa weN'It out onet. afternoon to make a call and I w:s sitting alone in the par lor.

There we :t.a grea..t t nany13 exp)lana tiols to be ile, :uid it inIally appear ed that I hal bvi the victim of a con splira;cy. Papa and inainina had suspected something all the titne. but had known nothinlg for cer aii until Imly confession. Papa had imiiedlately seen Harrey, andI hail brought about this neeting. As for tilie latter, his attentions to Miss Miker were intended solely to bring me to iny senses, if I had any, as she was soonl to be married to a gen th-nai who was then abroad. We were married after a short en ga eneniit: anl, though my short mar ri'I lifel has I:tl soie clouds, they have resuilted. genraly, fron my own pettislintss, ait they are becouoingir 11inore rar'. lint of this I am sure, that I iever. w:Is so lalplly before, and amt extr1emely gratified that I missed the veri'y ni:ir'oecpe I had of losing the nII.t; of iIy heart.-.
