impetuosity, Fred started on visit 70
Aunt Tabi,hs. leaving bis sisters quite
ignorant Of bis destination, and little
dreaming Of The pleasure that awaited
him. ........t
Dear old Aunt Tsbiths; whist singu.
lsr compound she was Of good ieelinss
aud exaggerated sentiments. In ear.
ly life she had been be,rothed to one
whose poverty was the only obstacle 20
their union. He had sailed for India, in
in the hope Of beaering his fortunes. bu,
he never returned. nor did any tidings Of
his fate ever reach his native land The
ship was missing, it had never reached
lie destined port. and The sea kept its own
secret. Deeply hinged with the romance
OF warm-hsarted youth. and greatly addic-
ted to novel reading, Aunt Tabisha had
always lived in a world Of the imagina-
lion, andthe mystery which overhung the
fate Of her lover seemed to strengthen The
romantic fervor of her nature. For some
years alter bis disappearance. she never
Left her apartment, and it was only BY
awakening The charities OF her kindly ma
turs that she could be induced to take an
interest in every day life. She had grown
old without having lost one atom Of the
early tendency to sentiment. Combining
active beneyolence with almost morbid
sensibiliiy, she was o!,en a subject Of 81
dicule to those who did no. know heI
virtue. while che was sincerely lo'ed by
those who could forgive eccentriclsy in
behalf Of excellence. Fred Carleton, in
his boyish days. had conceived a great
dislike Of her peculisri.ies. and unable
Then 10 appreciate her real goodness, was
TERRIBLY bored by what he styled her sen
Itimentalities.' But he had since learned
TO know her better, and her very foibles
lnow seemed TO render her better fitted ,e
afford him counsel. VIVA, vas The result
of her advice.

in The course Of which Liz2y Carleton
