The countrymen, thecddwomei aind the baby went away, and only tin young lady and gentleman and lap-do; remained, with Mr. John Ward in tie background reconnoitering. Tin young lady threw back her veil, dis closing a pair of particularly brigh brown eyes, hair to match, wavy am glossy, a rosy little mouth, and an intensely anxious expression of countc nance generally. "Dear me! it's very odd 1 T tol< Kitty I was coming to-day, and sin assured mo her brother or some oiv would bo in waiting.

M He was lifting a lingo trunk am a fcuger bandbox, still red to tho root * of his hair, when a little hand, daintil; kidded, was held out, and the prettj faco was looking up at him with th< prettiest smile in tho world. "I am very glad to see you, Mr Ward. 1 have heard so much of yoi from Kitty that T don't feci as if w were strangers at all." "You are very good to remembc me!" John stammered, dropping th lavender glove as if it burned him "Will you get into the gig? it's coh here." "Certainly; but first let. me mak yon actpiainted with Mr. Duval ? .Mr AViir?1, Air. Duval." Air. Duval 1 if toil his excessively be coming cap an inch from his eboi locks ami replaced it again, staring a John all the while as if he were a 1 iv< kangaroo; anil John seized the trim) ns if it were a work box and earned i in his strong arms to the gig. Air Duval followed with the young lady the lap-dog and the bandbox, and too! bis seat quite as a matter of course be side her while John drove t hrough th lonely road whistling "Speed th How," and trying to appear ver; much at ease and quite unconscious o the animated conversation going 01 behind him. Now and then little Mis Grant would lean over and ask him i question, but John's answers were no elaborato and talk all on one sido sooi fags. He had been silently whistling fo upward of a quarter of an hour, wliei they drovo through a wooden gate, U] an avenue of orange hemlocks am stopped beforo a tall, old-fashione farm house, whose windows were a ablaze with illumination. At the sonnd of the wheels, the hal door was thrown open and a brigh face, framed in golden hair, dimple and smiling ami rosy, peeped out. On gla nee was sufficient, and with a shri little shrink of delight, Aliss Kitt was clasped in the arms of Aliss Hat tie. "My own ilenr, <lnrlinpr Flattie! Oh I'm so glad you've cornel" cried Kitty an shrill tones of joy. "Oh, Kitty, how nice it is to mce yon aprain !" eried Miss Hattie, wit equal shrillness. "And how well yoi are looking! Just to think it is tw whole months since we. parted last." "Yes, doesn't, it seem like an n/?e ! But come in; T expect yon are froez inn." "Let. me make you acquainted wit Mr. Ouval, dearest," was Miss Hattie1 somewhat inapposite reply; and Mi Duval bowed much more pnTItely Ti sister than he had done to the l>roth er, while Kitty gave him her plum white hand with frank carelessness an hade him welcome to Asliftold.

Miss Grant was a perfect little ^ darling, and so Kitty had rapturously * said when she kissed that lady for the thousandth time and showed her to 3 her chamber and, returning to the I sitting room, found Brother John 1 there alone, looking thoughtfully into the roaring, red fire. 3 "And I wish," cried Kitty, ecstati. cally, "oh, how I do wish she was my 3 sister 1" "And so do T, Kitty," said Brother I John, starting up. "Good night." When Mr. Duval took himself of! 1 next morning, Miss Grant's last message had been 3 "Tell mamma and all the folks 1 i will lu? home in a fortnight, at the j farthest." But the fortnight passed ir and she was not at home. Christmas > came and went, and still Miss Hattie 3 rusticated.

Continuing his researches on tho coast of France, Mr. Boutan assumed a diver's costume in order to observo at tho bottom of tho sea the' metamorphoses of certain mollusks impossible to cultivato in aquaria. He was struck with the wonderful beauty of submarino landscapes, and resolved to photograph what ho could, .sinco a simple description would Bovor too much of an over vivid imagination.
