FIRST LOVE.
.BY ANN1K Ai:NOJ.O.
? i
Many years ago, there lived in the little ;
village uf Anhurndnle, two young lovers,
very young, lor ilie lady was in her ninth j
year, the gentleman in his twelfth ; still in
spite of his tender years, he was a most gal- !
Ja/it and deroted Muire, while she was the
tenderest and most ootifi-linj^ of damsels.
The course of their true Jove had run very
smooth, for their mothers* ol<l schoolmates,
had betrothed them whuu little Annie was
hardly three months old.
Harold was an orphan, but his uncl<*,Dr.
Benton, had adopted him, at his mother's
death oyd fully filled the place of the father,
whom the boy had never seen. The doctor
was an old man and regarded his frank,penserous
nephew as the apple of his eye. lie
was not wealthy, but his practice was larg< in
the village, and he was able to give Harold
a fine education, and looked forward
to the time when his nephew could lake his
.place as a physician to the good folks of
? Auburndale.
Annie Ashlev was the otilv child of a
Jawycr, the only one in the village, who, his,
practice being very small,speculated freely,
" sometimes lushing, sometimes gaining.?
Annie was his pet, and he luved her fully as
well as Dr. Uenton loved Ilarold. His
schemes for her education were in the eyes
*>f the villagers wonderful, for ho proposed
sending her to a city boarding school, wben
-she was old enough.
Accordingly, Anni^ at fifteen, was sent to
Philadelphia. Harold to his great joy was
?ent, at the same time, to complete his medical
education at the college there. Here

?nd singing le&spn9 of the same master, visited
opera, conedHs and dancing-school together,
were always invited to the same
parties, and fell in .love anew every day.?
WhUo affaire were progressing in this most
satisfactory manner, the holidays called the
lo^efli botna for ? vfeit. Harold had passed
through bia .college course and graduated
with honors, while Annie was the show
^ ihoiar of^ST 'a school." ftutlljey
found trouble in store for tbcin at home.?
Ooeof M'* Aaliley'* speculations had suec?ode<]

i pompously, that tio woman'seducation <'<?ul<I :i

j As soon as Ilarold heard this new, lie '?
. obtained his uncle's consent to his imirringe, 1
tiew to Annie, and soon won her confession ]'
: of love nnd acceptance of his hand, conli- <'
J dent of success, the two repaired to M>. t'
! Ashley's studv to ??et his consent to tlu-ir t>
union. He received tlieui; Harold poured w
i forth Lis protestations of love for Annie, ^
i spoke of the length of their acquaintance w

' "Benton," paid Mr. Ashley coldly. ''what !i

"I have mv fortune to make, Mr. Ashley, . ii

to leave the room. "lieinemUer, Annie," he lli
