BACHELOR BROWS'S CO?UTS1UP.
Richard Brown had lived a bachelor
for forty years, and declared his inten?
tion of continuing in tho state of single
blessedness the remainder of his life
greatly to the satisfaction of his relatives,
the Hinkles, with, whom ho resided; for,
be it known, Unelo Bichard was worth a
cool .half million, and un leas, as Mrs.
Hinkle said, some "nasty charity" came
in for bis property, whom should ho
leave it to but bis*two own cousins or
their children?
Hopeful as poor human nature is of
longevity, Mr. and Mrs. Hinkle scarcely
expected to .survive their cousin, who
waa their junior by ten years, but Ade?
laide and Bose, and Ohaklcsand William
might in all probability be his heirs, and
to this end their parents labored. Unele
Bichard had the best room, the best
choir, the most particular consideration.
His wishes were deferred to and his ad?
vice taken on every occasion, and he no
tuo?iy came to be loved; for with all his
quaint, old fashioned ways, and his habit
of sitting os utterly silent as though ho
had- been deaf and dumb, he was a lova?
ble man. Matters progressed smoothly
enough until it was habit and not hy?
pocrisy which made Cousin Biohard mus?
ter of the house. ? .
He was very obliging-wonderfully so
in most respects. He would attend to
anything for anybody-match ribbons
when nobody else could-escort the girls
to places of amusements-go dutifully
to churoh with their mamma-attend to
marketing and tho posting of letters, and
the gas-meter, and the turning pff of the
water in frosty weather. He was always
ready to search the house with tho poker
at. tho dead of night, when any one
? ?heard a noise. V '
He went to the dentist with people who
wanted their teeth drawn, und always
seemed to have sugar-plums in his
pocket. Bnt one thing Cousin Bicbard
would not do, and that was, to exhibit
the least sign of politeness to lady
visitors.
He never saw. one home. He never
even spent the evening in their compa?
ny. He invariably shut himself up in
his own room and had his tea there when
one of these individuals was reported to
be in the house; and, when traveling,
had been known" Jr. a train to shut his
eyes tight when a young lady entered,
remain with them closed until she left
the carriage. As a general thing, indeed,
he always chooses a carriage whero he
would hot bo intruded upon.
"It was just os well, after all," said
Mrs. Hinkle, but it was a peculiarity not
quite as agreeable to Mr. H., when he
found the pleasant task of seeing Miss
Smith or Miss J ones home, imposed upon
himself. He urged that suoh duties were
Dousin Dick's, though he never told him
so. It would not be so pleasant to pro?
voke ! him, and if anything could have
offended Bachelor Brown mortally, it
would have been to insist upon his of?
fering any gallant attentions to tho softer
sex.
However, a day came at lost which set
the whole household in.commotion.
Mis? Amanda Dove had been invited
to spend a week with the Hinkles, and
Miss Dove, being a stranger, was to wait
at the station until some one came for
her in a carriage.
The Hickies resided some miles out of
town, and had not occupied their resi?
dence for many months, so that people
were not always properly directed by the
neighbors.
It was decided that Mr. Hinkle should
escort Miss Dovo, but before the day ot
her arrival dawned, business had called
that gentleman to Sheffield. Moreover,
If rs. H inkle had tho influenza, and the
.wo.boys wore at boarding-school. No
mo was to bo found to drive, and neither
Bose nor Adelaide could handlo the
reins. Miss Dove was to come at 0, and
chat would she think of them if no one
came for her?
"Indeed," said Mrs. Hinkle, "it would
be shocking treatment for the dear girl.
I must ask your Cousin Bichard."
"You never dare, ma," said Miss Min?
de, aghast.
"Ia such a case, you know-," said
Irs. H inkle.
"He* ll not do it." said Adelaide.
"Of course not," said Bose.
Mrs. Hinkle shook her head.
"I fear he will not," Bhe said, and
.ssnm. ing an expression whirdi would
lave done credit to Joan of Arc,
ion nted the stairs to Cousiu Richard's
itud y.
" Aro you busy, Richard?" she asked,
as s ho entered.
"Not at all-sit down," said bachelor
Brown.
m mm "*m*.????^.mmm
the ?in?, andrr-i-" ?. " i
"Well," said bachelor Brown.,,
"And there is poor Miss sDove at the
station, with her trunk, bj (his time,"
said Mrs. Hinkle, rJjth a gasp.
"Ahl"said.Mr. Brown,.*4what a pUyl*
bachelor Brown could not understand
what she wanted.
"It's a fu vor-a good favor to ask, I
know," she said, "but Couldn't yon jost
for once do.it?"
"Do what, Maria?" asked the bachelor.
"Go for her," Said Mrs.'Hinkle.
"For Miss Dove?"
"Yes."
"Oh, dear no," said Cousin Bich ard.
"But-" began Mis. Hinkle.
"Maria," said the old bachelor,
"young ladies, .my little cousins except?
ed, are my abomination. Au affected,
conceited, absurd set of creatures. I
never had anything to do with them,
and I never will. No doubt she's capn
bio of finding her way here. Thoy all
appear to be. I shan't go for her."
Mrs. Hinkle retreated.
"What will she thiuk of us?" she said,
sobbing.
"Don't ory," snid bachelor Brown;
"I'll see if any of the hands over at Oat's
pluce can drive over for her. "
And ont he went; but ah the hands on
Oat's place were busy with the bay,
which stood in dauger of a coming
shower. Richard returned without tho
least success.
"A shower, too," said Bose. "Poor
dear Amanda; I'll seo what I cnn do with
my cousin."
And in studying she spent aa hour,
teasing and worrying without effect.
. "Let her get loose," said bachelor
Brown--"no doubt 'she'd like. it. And
os for her trunk, why can't girlB travel
with a portmanteau, oe we do?"
And Bose departed, pouting. She
found Adelaide in an extremely merry
mood.
"Don't laugh," she said; "think of
poor Amanda."
"I nm thinking of her," said Adelaide,
"and Cousin Dick shall go. I'll tell a
fib."
"For shame!" said Bose.
"One ought to make some sacrifice for
a friend," said Adelaide. "I'll tell him
she's a child. He's always good to chil?
dren."
"It will never do," said Mrs. Hinkle;
"he'll never forgive you."
But Adelaide ran up to ber cousin's
study, and burst in w?b au exceedingly
theatrical laugh.
"What a mistakel" r. said; "and so
stupid of them all. Yo 'link Amanda
is a grown lady, don't you?"
"Isn't she? asked the bachelor.
"As if a little child of nine years
could bel" said Adelaide. "Poor little
thing!"
"Poor little thing, indeedl" hurrying
on his coat and hat. "Bless me! why
didn't you mention it ? Poor little
8onll"
And in a few minutes the light wagon
was driven down the road, and the Hin?
kles stood looking after it.
'Tm half frightened," said Bose.
"So am I," said Adelaide. "But it is
done, and can't be helped now. I'll ma?
nage to coax him to forgive mc; and it
wouldn't do to leave a friend in such a
position, you know; and I didn't suv she
was a child."
Meanwhile, bachelor Brown drove to
the station. It was a long drive, over a
bad road, bnt be kept on his way very
cheerfully. He was extremely fond of
children. ,
When, on reaching the station, he saw
no sign of her presence, ho grew alarm?
ed. If she had been lost through his
neglect, he never would forgive himself.
He ran his fingers th rough lm curly hair,
and peeped into the ladies' waiting room.
Only a fine, full-grown woman Bat there,
and he retreated. Tho woman who wait?
ed in the apartment came out of her nook
with a ?onrts?y, ns she saw him, and he
addressed her:
"Have you seen a little girl waiting
for sonic one?"
"No, sir," said the woman. "There
were two come done, but they are gone.'
"Oh, dear! oh, dear!" said bache!01
Brown; "I hope there's no mistake. Itv
little Miss Dove; and if tho dear little
soul has gone astray, I'm entirely tc
blame. Please make inquiries-thereV
n good woman."
As he uttered these words, the full
grown young lady in the waiting roon
was seen to blush violently, and to arise.
"I'm Amanda Dove," said she, "and 1
expected some one from Mr. Hinkle's."
Bachelor Brown stood aghast. He
had spoken of this lady ns a dear little
thing. His face, also, turned scarlet.
"I beg your pardon, ma'am," ho be
gan; "I expected to find a little girl. 1
wouldn't have used such expressions foi
tho world. I-"
"I comprehend," said the young lady,
"Don't mind it in the least. I-"
"Is this your trunk, ma'am?" nskei
bachelor Brown, in a hurry.
"Yes, sir,*' said tho lady, looking
down.
In a few moments the two were driving
towards the Hinkles' country sent. Nevei
hud bachelor Brown found himself si
close to any young lady, save his cou
sins, before. He was wofully coufused
but somehow he liked it. How pretty
she is, ho thought. How pink am
white; how golden her hair was. Hov
the blue ribbons of her bonnet set it off
Then he began to wonder what sin
thought of him. Wondering thus, In
forgot tho road, and suddenly found tba
he had lost himself. To add to the di
lemma,y' the storm, which had beei
threatening for hours, burst in the ver
moment when bachelor Brown found 1
impossible to tell whether the left rou?
or the right led homeward; and the hors
was afraid of lightning, and grew restive
Miss Amanda Dove was afraid of light
ning, also. She gavo a little scream
aud clung to bachelor Brown's cou
sleeve.

flaoh of lightning, a roar of thunder, and
an attempt on the part of tho horse to
mo away, interrupted him.
Misa Dove tamed palet '(B.fohelor
looked terrified. He oast ra glance about
him.- Near the road was a .parsonage,
connected with ita cb.uroh by a garden.
"I'll tell you what we will do," he
said; "we'll ask for shelter until the
storm is over. A olergyman ought to be
Christian enough to tuke as ia."
And driving to the' gate, he assisted
Miss Dove to alight. As ho did so, two
hired men rushed out and began tout
tend to the horse, and an old lady and
gentleman appeared upon the steps.
.*So glad you're early enongh to es
enpo the wurst of the storm," saul the
gentleman.
"Do como in," said the old lady. "We
were expecting you ; for, on ouch occa?
sions, people always keep their Appoint?
ments, rain or sunshine, I behove."
"What on earth does she mean?" said
the bachelor. "But it's very kind of
them."
And so, while the old lady hurried
Muss Dove awny to dry her things, he
sat with tho old clergyman in the parlor.
"Do you feel at all nervous, sir?" said
the old gentleman, after a pause.
"No, Bir, thank you," said J bachelor
Brown.
"Most o? men do, sir," said the cler?
gyman.
"Yes, sir; lightning is a nervous sort
of thing." said bachelor Brown.
"I did not allude to tho storm."
"Indeed, sivl"
,"But the approaching ceremony."
"Eb;?" said Brown.
"In your note, you know,"you told me
you were too nervous to stand before tue
.whole congregation in church, and pre?
ferred a quiet wedding nt my house,"
'said the old man.
Dnchelor Brown Bt?rtcd in astonish?
ment. Tho truth dawned upon lum.
"You expected a-a young couple?"
ho said.
"Oh, you nro quito young enongh,
sir," said the innocent clergyman; "und
I must say, the young lady appears n
charmiug person."
Bachelor Browu felt himself blush.
"{Should yon think she'd moko a good
wife?" ho RHkod.
"Undoubtedly." said the clergymau.
"And you think a man is-happier
for-entering tho nuptial state?" ho said.
"No man can he huppy without so do
ing, and it is every man's duty," said tin
old gentleman, believing every word lu
spoke.
"She is a dear little thing," thonght
Mr. Brown. "I never liked a girl sc
much. It's very awkward to explain. J
wonder whether she-"
And just then Miss Dove entered thc
room, looking angelic without her bonne
to Mr. Brown. Bachelor Brown drev
her aside.
..I hove something to say to yon, Mis:
Dove," he said.
"Dear me," said Mir,? Dove.
"They have made a mistake," suit
Bachelor Brown. "They think we-we
wo are-are the pooplo they expect-t
young couple, you know, about to-"
"Oh, dear! do they?" whispered Mis:
Dove.
"Yes," said Bachelor Brown. "Now
it would bo very a wk wnid to explain
Audi like you so roach. Couldn't yoi
like mo, too, and let bim do it, eh?"
"Do what, Mr. Brown?" said Amanda
"Marry ns," said Bachelor Brown.
"Of course not," said Amanda. "Whn
would the Hink les say?"
"They'd bo delighted," said Richard
growing bolder. Then ho put his arm;
around her waist. . ... k . .
"I don't know much ab ont this son c
thing, but you are the only nice girl
ever saw. Please do. I'm nonsuch
bad.fellow. I'll be-gOpd to yon."
"I know vou are good," said Amandu
but?~" (
"But, then, I'm not ugly, eh?" aske
Richard.
"Ab, no, not nt all."
"Well."
"It would be so odd."
"Well," 8iiid bachelor Bown, "that i
my fault, and they know I ara odd, m;
dear."
Four hours later, the Hiuklos hear
the light wagon drive to the door, au
rushed out to meet Amanda.
"We have been so alarmed," said Mri
Hinkle.
"Snell a storm!" said Rose.
"Were yon frightened?" asked Adc
laide. But Amanda said nothing.
Unelo Richard, too, shrank back, i
though he were afraid of something.
"Toll them, Amanda," he said.
"No; you must tell them, Riobard,
said Amanda."
Tho Dinkies listened in amazement.
"And what is there to tell?" aske
Mm. Hinkle.
"What is ull the mystery about?" .
And Cousin Richard answered, sheei
ishly:
"Nothing-we've only been guttin
married. This is my wife, Mrs. Brown.
It was the only explanation ever o:
fered. Tho Dinkies never comprehein
ed it. It was always n mystery to then
and though they were profuse in the
congratulations, and always continu*
the best of friends, the fortune whii
might have been Rose's or Adelaide'
rather troubled Mrs. Hinkle, and si
was perfectly sure Unelo Richard ma
ried out of spite, to punish Adelaide fi
the trick ho played upon him.
A correspondent suggests that the i
obviated person who proposed to csco
