BUSILY ENGAGED* LCONTD?UED. ] Lucy was engaged with a class of little- rustics, and being unable, for the present, to come ont ami bo engaged to me, wo went in and joined tho class. Lucy was correcting on tho slate what she hud been previous? ly dictating. Miss Lucy WHS rather shorter than her sister, and possessed a-perfect cloud of rich golden huir. Her manner was particularly frank und sweet, and she had a sense of humor which spoke intelligibly in her laughing blue eye. "Papa is so funny!" she said, as we walked towards thc house. "Do you know what he expected? Ra! ha! i Then I won't tell you. Como in." A sadden resolution seized nie. "I do know what he expected, my dear young lady," 1 said, firmly; "and, so fur as it rests with me, he certainly shall not be disappointed. You look disturbed. I entreat you to hear me. I was about to speak, when-in short, you were to have become my sister. Oh! let me have thc joy of bestowing upon you a far m o precious title. Be my wife!" Wo forgot the lunch altogether. 'When Mr. Crowdie returned wc were still lingering under the trees. Tie walked up straight to us, looked in Lucy's blushing face, and, placing our bands together, simply remarked: "At last. My best hopes ?ire realized." My Lucy, a little agitated with all that had happened, was dismissed to lio down for au hour, while I, "who lind been affianced a good deal more, felt also that a little quiet meditation would restore the tone of my nerves. I accordingly sought out a little moss covered scat of which I knew, and there fell into a train of thought which -owmg I take it to the lulling whisper of the trees-ended in slumber. Merry voices aroused me. The party had commenced croquet. Half fearing that Lucy would miss me, I hastened to the lawn. She was not there. Smothering my disap? pointment, I a? -ipted a mallet and a partner-Mattie-and was soon hard at work. In one of the in? numerable disgusting pauses of the game I asked where was Lucy? "Lucy!" exclaimed Mattie, open? ing her brown eyes. Don't you know? She's gone." "God bless me! Gone! Gone whither?" "To Aunt Mompesson's. For twe months." "But, I-I-surely-." "Wc sent to look for you, my deal Mr. Pnrkiss," said Mrs. Crowdie who had quietly approached, "bu the messenger found you so comfort ably asleep that he would notdistnrl you. We make a practice of neve: contradicting Mrs. Mompesson. Sin would run ott' with Lucy; so there' au end." "But your daughter. Did she didn't she-" "She wouldhave liked tp.say good bye, but my aunt would wait n< longer, and Lucy begged mc to sa; that, if she might suggest, all tba passed this morning might as well b considered as forming part of th dreams in which she heard you wer iudulging in the arbor. But here' Crowdie, who can tell you more." My host bustled up and took m by both hands, saying, with mue feeling: "Purkiss, my good friend, I am c a loss to express tho sense I feel c your flattering and mcfst perseverin efforts to ally yourself with m family. Believe m J, I shall neve forget them. But courge, my doa boy. I have four girls yet; and i among these-" "The fact is," I answered, with smile, "some fatality seems to atten upon auy exercise of choice on m part. All your children are charming If it were not wholly ont of the que: tion to submit such young ladies t such an arbitrament, I would alw.av venture to propose that those wh deem a prize, like myself, worth tl pains, should-ahem!-forgive mo draw lots for it." "Ila! ha: ha!" roared the squiiv "A capital idea! But they needn Know it, eh? Wife 'll write the; names-that is, Mattie, Ethel, an Lenora-my poor Alice is out of tl race-and we'll decide it where v stand." Absurd as was the plan-for I ha only meant it in pleasantry-M Crowdie insisted on' nailing mo 1 my own suggestion. Thc minn were written the lots drawn by M Crowdie himself, and Mattie was tl wi mer. "My dear Dick, I congratula you!" and he caught my han "Believe me, you have been fort nate." I glanced at the unconscious Ma tie, who, deserted by me, was battit away at oroquet on behalf of bot and wondered what was next to 1 done. "Will you"--said Mr. Crowdie "ahem!-or-shall I?" " You, by all means, my dear sir said I. And while I strolled wi; Mrs. Crowdie among her azaleas, saw him detatch Mattie from tl game. Presently, and quite une pectedly, wo met them at the turn a path. ]\iuttie's brown eyes were little wider open than usual, but si was apparently resigned to her lot. "Here, Dick," said Mr. Crowdi "I give you tho light of my kout And, let mo tell you, it is not eve one who should win her from us easily." I Mt that I had no right to com- ' plain. Nothing could we:! exceed! tho simplicity of the process hy whhjh 1 //'ul "won" her. Tho tete-a-tcto which shortly fol- j lowed was not a prolonged one.' It] was, however, long enough to cou- j vinco me that my now- betrothed was] to provo a pleasing, gentle wife; j and it was with the sort of relief one j feels in sitting down, titter a hot and weary journey, under fresh green . trees", that 1 accepted this now for? tune. Making my way to the quiet deserted drawing-room, 1 resolved to write at once to my uncle. I thought it just as well to say ? nothing of previous disappointments. It was best ho should suppose that, after careful observation, 1 hud selected Mattie us thc most eligible: wife, and neice-in-law of tho whole j party. As I wrote, I began to think j shu was, and had commenced au I almost love-like description-"My Mattie is"-when the door softly opened, and Ethel Crowdic, a little sylph-like thing, with violet eyes and large brown eyebrows that met, stole into tho*room. She had a rose in her hand, which, as she approached me, she. picked to pieces in an em- j barrassed manner. "Mr. Purkiss-oh, Mr. Purkiss!- i I want to-to tell you a secret.,". My mind misgave me. The pen j dropped from my hand. "A secret, Miss Ethel? Me?" "Yes, you, dear Mr. Purkiss, for no one else can help us; and oh, you ; are so good natured! Mattie told mo | of 3"our engagement, and asked me j to break it to bim; but oh! I couldn't j It would kill him!" "Kill him? Whom? Pray ex? plain.'' "Mr. Lowry, the curate. Such a good creature; but shy. Mattie never knew how much be loved her, but I did; and now-oh, Mr. Pur? kiss! you haven't seen much of Mattie-couldn't you, if yon tried very much, like somebody else in- ; stead?" "Answer me one question iirst. Did your sister authorize this ap? peal?" She iucliuej lier head. "Enough," said I, calmly. "Inot only resign my claim, but, if I can in my manner forward tho views ! of my fortuuatc rival, pray command 1 me." "Oh, how good you ore! Thanks -a thousand thanks. Put it will bo difficult. Papa likes you so very much." Flattery is at all times sweet, but when it proceeds from a beautiful mouth, accompanied by a bewitching smile, who can resist? "Perhaps," I said, ".some-ahem! device might be hit upon, that might at once meet your sister's views, -.iud Xireserve to papa tho connexion he is so good as to desire. Do yon, my dear young lady, .see what I mean?" (The damsel hung her head till I saw the white parting quito to the hack.) 'T seo you do. Ethel, for your sister's, sake-what say you, dear one?"
