It must bo Martha No; tho3c fair,, win to arms aro no Mar? tha's, neither her? tho slender, graceful figure. As ho cacao nenfer, b? could dis? tinguish the sparkling'piquant face. She was "fangbio'g and,' talking with": Hetty; and evidently giving her the directions for. what she was making. Hetty was gr?z"??? upon her, eoger- ?nd absorbed. Little Eva was sitting at the table in her high chair, working at a piece- of dongb. "A tato for Ben.- It whs asbleok as h or little ; soiled fin;;ors could' make it; but it did hot- occur to Eva that tb nt could be any objection. It was a pretty sight in Uiat long,doaolato hom?; and he stood Ib?re; unconscious of the pouring rain, eagerly gazing., at the young stranger, himself a picture of manly beauty, till the voice of ono of the men calling to the Oxen, awoke him from his reverie. By-nnd-by there was a sputtering of wafter heard in the next room by Hetty. "Ben. has come," running hastily for? ward and opaning the door. "Ben. has tum!" echoed the little girl, clapping her hands and lisping, as he came in, bright and smiling, what she had in store for him, "I is made a tat for oo, lie.* Ho caught her up in his arms and gave her a kiss, while she laughed and shout? ed; but his eves were seeking thestranger.

She has been so kind to help mo get dinner, and has made some splendid biscuit." . They both stood mn to a minute, ?he with surprise at the real Ben., young, handsome and well bred; ho with admi? ration and a strange new feeling he could not define. He bad hardly made her welcome, with a return of his self-posses? sion, when there was a load rap at thc street door. Hetty went to tho door, came back pale, and whispered to Bon. : ; 'Squire Johns. ". Millie drew quickly back from the half-open door. Ben. went in to his visitor, closing the door after him, but every word was distinctly heard by Mil he, for Squire Joli us did not speak in tho snave tono she was accustomed to hear him, but load and peremptory. "I am io haste,.young man; I just stopped to say that the time for *.he pay? ment of the money due me being day after to-morrow, if it is not ready I shall be obliged immediately to resort to severo measures." "Impossible!" exclaimed the young man, in a surprised and excited tono, "you are very much mistaken. It is not doe till the 28th, it is now but the 18th. At that time, if I sell the piece of land I expect to do, I hope, with somo other money coming in, to bo able to poy it." "You are laboring under a singular mistake, young man. Here is the mort? gage, you can Bee for yourself that it is the 18th.* ' 'Let ruo see i t. J'o - The ligures danced upon the page.
