Blowing Babbles. As I loitered through tho Tillage, X ?aw children at their play, Blowing bubbles in the sunshine. Wrote - psnny pipe of city ; I had passed them with a greeting, ' But their gladness charmed me so, That I turned to watch their bubbles ' , Sailing through tho summer's glow. Though they seemed not half so brilliant . As.in boyhood I had blown,' When tho smallest x>f my babbles Held s rainbow of its own, Yet my Uttle friends grew merry, i As each tinted, air-blown tor Floated upward, and the baby Clapped its chubby hands for joy. And the girl- hor arion outstretching, As if begging them to stay Said, "Fm B?rry, very sorry, They BO quickly fado awayl" But her brother looked right manly, As he shouted with delight, "It is easy, very easy, To blow others just as bright!" And he blew with snob good fortune. That, before his task was dono, You might count a score of bubbles Floating gaily in the sun; Then her eyes with ploaaure sparkled, As the orystal phantoms played, And sho quite forgot her sorrow That they eaoh so quickly fade. And she paused whore I was resting In the shadow of a yew, And in tonos of laughing wonder cried, "Can't you blow bubbles, too?" And I know not how to answer; So I left them at their play, Biowing bubbles in the sunshine, From a penny pipe of clay. HOW ? MET MV WIFE* There was always a mystery hang? ing about a certain way that Morgan had, and in which ho was always joined heartily by bia wife-my own consin, May Stevens, that had been a way that troubled my curiosity much, until the one eventful eveuing that it was satisfied by hearing tho reason why. All that long sentence without telling what that way was, or how he was joined in it by May. It was simply this: That every time a word was spoken that led to the period when Charley Morgan first met my cousin May, they would both laugh very heartily, but would always refuse, to tell at what they laughed. This was certainly very provoking, and I had little hesitation in telling them so-not once, but many times at which they laughed more heartily than ever, and always ended by kiss? ing each other and looking very affectionate. I determined to have n solution of the matter, if for no other reason than that it worried me. I am but a woman, and having pleaded to the poiue: ion of curiosity, I see no rea? son why that foible of my sex should elicit no charity, and no reason why sometimes it should not be indulged. With tim resolution, I set forth ono even ii.-, when we three, Morgan, Maj and myself, were drawn up be? fore tho fire and fairly settled for a talk. There was no uso miucing matters, was my first idea, and with this thought I dashed boldly in with: "Mr. Morgan"-I usually call him Charley, but I was desirous of show? ing that I was really in earnest "Mr. Morgan, why do you always laugh and look nt May when tho sub? ject of your first meeting with her is spoken of?" This, I was sure, was asimple ques? tion; and yet, instead of answering it in a simple way, they went back, both of them, on tho old plan, nod laughed as though the words I had just spoken were the very best joke in tho world. I could do nothing, of course, but look grave sud solemn, which in a few moments brought them both round to looking the same way, and then May spoke to mo seriously, and said: "Cousin Jane, you bake our laugh? ing much more earnestly than I thought you would. It is ouly a lit? tle memory between Charley and me that brings tho laugh; to us it is a droll remembrance, but perhaps in telling it, thero would be nothing to nmnse any one." This explanation brought back my good humor in au instant, and, with a smile, I said: "Now, May, this is really unkind of yon: fer nr> loijg h av G you excited my curiosity, that, oven wero tho story not worth telling, you should tell it." "Well, cousin Jane shall have that story, May, and I will toll it myself to her." At this declaration, I was sur? prised to see May flush up toa bright red, and break out rather vehement? ly with: "Now, Charley-that is really too bad! You shall not do it, sir. If cousin Jano is to havo the story, I will tell her myself." And then, after a pause, she said, "When we . aro alone." - ? ? ? ? ? v. ???-1 " . " 11 "You shall do no such thing, Msdam May," was"-Charity's laughing re-, spouse, aa he got up and kissed May directly in the month, just in time to atop a torrent of -word" thst, in ga? ucher minute, wo-ld have poured out. "You shall do no such thing. This time I shall have my way, and cousin J-- ev? shall not have h or curi? osity excited any more without being satisfied." I saw there was to be a discussion on that point, but I knew that, in some way, Charley was sure to come off victor; so merely saying that I would bo back in a few moments, I slipped out of the room, and walked about the garden until I felt sure the point was settled, when I went back, and found Charley and May looking as happy as birds, and laughing tho old laugh, as usual. As I entered, Charley drew up the rocking-chair, and, after seeing mo safely deposited in its depths, said: "Now, cousin Jane, I shall tell you the story about how I first mot my wife: "It is just five years ago, this sum? mer, that I was granted exemption for one mouth from my desk, and went down with my chum, Horace Hyatt, to his father' in old Mon? mouth, the garden of that unjustly abused State, New Jersey. I should never havo forgotten thut visit, even though I had not thero met with nu adventure that had its influence on the whole futuro of my life. I should remember it for the real true hos? pitality of the Hyatt's; for the solid old-time comfort of tho farm, and the quiet way in which, within a couple of days after my arrival, I was put in possession of it, and made to feel that it all belonged to me, to do just what I pleased with. Thero were plenty of horses, and wo rode; plenty of fish, and wo fished; plenty of wood? cock, and we shot. All thin shall be spoken with a proviso. I say we by which, let it be understood, I do not mean Horace's two sisters, Carrie and Nettie, as having participated in all these sports. They rode, to bo sure-nnd charmingly they did it; they fished, and, I am obliged to confess, were much luckier thau their guest. But they did not shoot, though I shall not exult over their lack of this accomplishment-they were charming enough without it. I am sure I shall excite no jealousy by declaring that, with ono exception, which I shall not mention here, Car? rie and Nettie H3-att were tho two most charming girls I had ever seen, and I was just hesitating as to which of them I should fall desperately in love with, when my calculations were all disturbed by an accident-for so I suppose I must call it-though really seeming like a special Providence. What this was, I shall tell in the best way I know how. ICONTINUED IN OUR NEXT. J Hams and Breakfast Strips, ITHRESH nnd good, at low rates. J_Deo 7 JOHN C. BEEPERS A CO. Painted Cotton Ties.
