All's Well, That ends Well.
BY A COUNTRY COUSIN.
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*
