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. Sultdeily sonie one pronounced
my11 :nI'Ie :11d looking up I saw Cousin
llarveY, who. when 'sprangup in dis
mty, Iaught tne in hik arins.
lint I sh:ll not tell any muore, save
that whenl papa and Lainla came in
tht' found us sitting very cosily on the
sofa where Ilarvey lield ie fast, though
I trived hard to :ssutiie a imore dignified
position at a distance when I heard
thnI comiln.'g.
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
