Dear me 1 yonder comes the car riage with A.unt Carrie, Lsna and Charlie; hurry Belle, and go out; they ure already at the gate, said Gussie Graham to her sister, who was paring somo apples to make Pies for the Pic-Nic they were to attend next day. I'd rather you'd go Belle, I don't like the idea much of Charlie's seeing me iu a soiled dress, and ho a charming city gentle man, with a mother t\3 neat as a new pin, as the saying is. What kind of a daughter in law, do you suppose she'd think I would make ? Do child, hush your notisansc, and go on. You see that my hands are filled with the juice of these blackberries, I've been squeezing, and your dress is as neat as mine; I know ma is quite as good a housekeeper as Aunt Carrie, and as for their being city folks, I nover knew that they wore any better than those who live in the country; however, I am not ashamed to go; they know we are not ablo to hire our work done, as they do; so saying, she darted from the room, seeing her Aunt aud Cousins had got out, aud were nearly in the bouse, she hastily washed her hands, aud met them at the door. I am soglad to see you, ?he strtd. I was afraid you would not come; the weather is so excessively warm, for so long a ride. I am sorry ma is not in; she ; has gone with Pa, to select a suitable spot, for the pic nic table. Yon just ought to see the stand, we trimmed. I believo we forgot to tell you; they are to have a Touruameut, and crown a queeu. Yes, said Lena, Charlie* "old uo; he is one of the Knights; ho is very rural in his tastes you know; he is the Knight of Greenwoods. Yes, said Charlie, I like the country very much, also the country girls, as you already know. Where is Gussie ? She will be iu directly Charlie, said Belle. Wont you and Lena ^o up to your room Auut, and refresh yourselves ? 1 expect you are very tired, after your loug ride. 2Co, child, we aro not so tired, but wo will go up. I ex pect it will be better for me to take a little rest, as you know I am not very strong, and I do not wish to fatigue myself too much, bufore to morrow. I expect the pic-nic will be a grand affair ? Well, I do not know that there will be anything grand about it, Aunt; but I hope wo will havo a pleasant time, said Belle. Do make yourselves as much at home, as if you were really there. I must go on with my cooking, or I wont get through bolore night; do excuse> me Certaiuly child. But can't I help you? said Lena, I don't feel at all fatigued now. Thank you said Belle; you aro a nice hand at icing cake I believe? Yes, at least people say so. Just then Gussie came up, aftor having a little' chat with Charlie below. Well,Gussie dear,said Mrs. Moore, you really look as if you had just come out of a band box as some folks would say, surely you have uot been making your sister do all the work ? Charlie likes to see you just as you are; he says, although he likes neatness above all things, he makes every allowance for ones dress, that is a little soiled, knowing thoy have to work. Don't be so foolish a* to go and fix up, as Belle says, when I como again, or 1 will havo to recommond her; sho looks tidy enough for any ou o, now. Dear Aunt, do not Hcold mi so; I did it to please you as well ui Chat lie. Wei), I will excuse you, this time, but you will see your folly; for I jou surely will not cook iu that nice dress, rnd Charlie will be certain to bo where you ate. Yea, really I did not think of that, but I will hurry and get through. Youdcr comes ma now, and I do believe thoro is a?yea, sure enough Belle, thero comes Johunio Swinton. So much the hotter for you Gus, said Bello, Charlie will have to keep his company. Well, they ?uy every thing happens for tbo best, but in her mind, she wna wondering then, if it had been for the best, that she did not marry the handsome, dark eyed, Willie Glenn, that she had not seen or heard from in three loug years. They all teased hor about Johnnie Swiuton, but she only said, he is not l or me. Well, sister Mary, you've come at j last, the girls have been wishing for you for some time. I am glad to see you Carrie, and I daro say thoy have been looking for me, but I know thoy have attended to their duties, as well as if I had been bore. I must say, theyj truly deserve credi: for their industry, if they are my children. Indeed thay do, sister, and a little caxh too, said Mrs. Moore, which Charlie says Gufsie shall never lack for when he gets her. The idea! Carrie you are always thinking of something more than myself. I do not know, that I will give her to him yet, he had bettor not be too sure of her. Yes, but he shall have her, sister Mary; they have it all arranged to have the parson hereto morrow night, and take her back with us. You are surely jesting, Carrie ? I did not think it would be in threo months' yet. Yes, that was the time appointed at first, but Charlie says, there is no use in waiting that much longer, and it ii so far to come by private con veyance. Well, I suppose if they arc deter mined on it, I will have to give hor up, but 1 must say tbey keep it very slyly. ? Just then Bello summoned them to supper, whero Lena wa9 introduc ed to the hands une young Johnuie Swinton. lie too was just homo from College, and was a schoolmate of Charlies. He had often heard him speak of his sweet-tempered sister, and was most huppy to meet her. He thought Bello pretty, but Lana beautiful, from the moment his eyes fell on her, whom I must describe, as well as the others, whom I've intro duced. Lena was tall and graceful, with slight form, her complexion, very fair, with rosy cheoks, and a pretty curved mouth, blue eyes, and light brown hair, that she wore in ringlets, that reached nearly to her waist. Ch irlio, her brother, was very much like her, though he was quite stout. His hair was a tri Ho darker, and he wore it cut"close, but not like some of the young men, (with it parted in the middle) his was more sensibly, parted at the side, *nd brushed back from his fair fore head. His mustache like his hair, was very fine, and glossy, both him self and sister, disposed very much alike; always having what they de sired, with a kind and iudulgent mother, it would hardly have beon otherwiso. He had chosen law as his profession, and was destined to bo come a good member of t'>e bar. Johnnie Swinton was also tall, and finely formed. His skiu was a 1 ruddy one, that suits a country gentle man so well; his hair and eyes, very dark brow n, nearly black. He did not even allow his mustache to grow, but had his fuce smoothly shavou. He was a general favorite among tbo ladies of the uoighborhood. His I mind was not as brilliant as that of Charlie. Moore, but ho was very wealthy, and thought if he was ever fortunate enough to win Miss Leua, which he had made up his mind to tiy and do at tbo vory earliest oppor tunity, that ho would exchange his home in the country, for one in the city whero she resided, and try his luck as a merchant. Bello and Gussie Graham, wero I just the reverse in size and appear ance. Belle was tall, with dark cxprev aivo gray eyes, aud brown hair, an 1 was inclined to be stout; the vra? de cidedly a blonde, though some called her a brunette, because she was not as fair a* her sister. Oussio was rery short and delicate lookiug, with dreamy lookiug blue eyes; and hair that some would call, flaxen. They were both considered pretty,though most persons admired Bolle more. Well, as I have described most of ray characters, I will goon with my story. After a hearty supper, they all re turned to the drairiug room, where they passed away the tiraa very pleasantly, with music, until bid time. The sun rose clear and bright the next morning. Every one was hap py; thinking what a delightful time they would have, at their Fourth of July pic nic. Did I say all happy t yes, all but oue-r-that one, BelU. She was thinking of some one, she imagin ed far away. They had engaged the services of a colored girl for the day; so, all they had to do, vr.n to git ready. After breakfast was over, a spring wagon, a carriage, and two buggiej appeared at the door. The buggies i being the property of Charlie &f >ore John S win ton; the carriage of Mrs. Moore; and the wagon of Mr. Gra ham, was used for carrying the pro visions for themselves aud horses. The girls all looked very pretty, as they came down and were waiting at the door. I will describe tbeir costumes: Leua Moore wore a white mualin; (though the girls told her, it would be very easily soiled, she said she w ould be particular) very prettily made, with an overskirt that was looped iu the back, by a pink bow; she also wore a pink cravat an 1 white gloves; a.white leghorn hat, trimmed with rosebuds, and a wreath of ivy leave.-., aud lined with pink silk, finished htr cuitumo. Belle and Gussie warebjth dr-siud alike, only Belle wore pink, ani Gussie blue lawn ovorsuits, ovjr black dresses; pretty white aprons, white cravats, and white gloves. They had only common, though very stylish look ing, straw hats trimmed with black ribbon, aud one with pink and the other blue flowers and green leaves to correspond with their dress es; th ey wore tbeir hair in a coil, at the back, confined by a comb. Charlie drove up first, and basale 1 Gussie into his buggy; uexi cams Johnnie; which should h.3 take! Lina or Belle! they b >th look so pretty. Ha selected Lena, and loft poor Belle to como with the old folks in the car riage. A ride of four miles, brought them to the old mill, known as Clear Pond Mill, which had been a favorite spot for their pic- nie s, for many years. It presented qui te a picturesque ap pearance as they approached , with its large old oaks, with its limbs nearly touching the ground. Groups of boys, and girls, you05 men, aud maidens, old men, and wo men; seated here and thero, drtised in overy shade imaginable. People were there, from far and near, "to see the Tournament, at their Fou rth of July pic nie. They all alighted, and went into the old mill house, where they kept their baskets. . It had been thorough ly swept, and flowers festoontd over the windows and doors. It was a large room, and the young folks bad a lively, time, amusing themselves in various ways; while the old ones en jcyed themselves under the shado of the trees, talkitfg ov rr by-gene days. Finally the clatter of plates was heard, aud their mammas commenced fixing the table that was filled with every thing you could conceive of; roast pigs, turkeys, chickens, pies, tarts, custards, cakes; vegetable! of every description, prepared in every way; all kinds of breadstuff*; fish in abundauce; iccd-lcmonado, fruit ice-cream; in fact, neatly, every thing you would wish for. The table I was very pretily arranged, with flow* [COKCfiUpBU ON FORTH TAOr,]
