earned enough to insure them happy am

they been true to each other, though they
had met at rare intervals during the whole
OF that period. By industry and good con.
duct, William A'nslic had managed to lay
oy the sum q! forty pounds, great deal for
one IN his station; and this, joined with
Jeanie's lesser earnings, had encouraged
them to give way to the long cherished
wishes of their hearts. A but-and. a-ben, or
cottage with two apartments, had been Ia
ken and furnished by William, and the
wedding was to take place on the day fol-
lowing the My term, in the house of the
brides sister-n-law.
We left Jeanie Gray on her way from
the farninghouse of Drvlaw. After her
momentary regret at parting with the chill
dren, whom the alfectionate creature dearly
loved, as she was disposed to do every liv-
ing thing around her, her mind reverted
naturally to the object that lay nearest her
heart. The bri chit sun above sent his cheer
ing radiance through the light feecv clouds
OF the yoang summer-the reviviied trees
cast their shade over her pnth-the merry
lark rose leapingv from the fields, and the
sparrow chirrupped from her hedge at her
side--every thing around her breathei Of
happiness and joy, and her mind soon
frightened into unison with the pleasing

converse which followed, as the betrothed
pair pursued their way, and laid open their
hearts TO each other, we cannot, and shall
not attempt to describe.
After Jeanie had parted for time with
William, and was seated quietly in her sis
ter-n-law's ho,se, aparcel was handed in
to her from lady in whose service she had
formerly been. On being opened, it

value, afE: cted .jeanie's heart, and brought
tears to her ewes. She fitted the flowers to
her cap, and was pleased 20 hear her sister
in-Iaws praises of their beautiful effect.
Fatal present! but lie. us not anfic pate.
The wedding came and past, not accom-
panied with bois'eroas mirih and uproar,
but in quiet cheerfllness, for William, like
his bride, was peaceful in his tastes and ha
bits. Let the reader then suppose the fes
tive occasion ever in decent order, and the
new married pair seated in their new house
their own hnuse-at dinner, on the TO-
lowing day. Oh, how delicious was that
food to both! Their happiness was almost
too deep for language. Looks of intense
affection and tenderness were its only ex-
preston.

the husband. 'My comrades in the shop

By the direction of his eyes to the aril-

ding cap, and which were laying on the top
of her new stand of drawers at the moment,
Jennie saw TO what her husband alluded.
.Oh, the Aowers!, said she, blushing;
sthey didna cost me muckle, William
The conversation of the pair was at this
moment interrupted by the entrance of Mrs.
S Nth, of Drylaw, who menii,ned, with an
appearance OF kindness, that, having been
acc dentally in Elsington that d.y, she had
til sht it her duty topay friendly visit to
jeanne and her goodman. Whether curiosity
hid full as mich share in bringing about,
the visit as friendly feeling, it matters not.
