this first epistle to her husband, full of
tender expressions, she sighed as the
wish arose in her mind, involuhtarily,
that she could only go with it on its
journey to the village o.
Long were the hours, and YEARLY
passed, to Henry Gray. 1t was the
sixth day Of trial before Lucy's answer
came. How dear to his heart was every
word of her affectionate epistle.! Like
her, he went over it SO often, that every
sentiment was fixed in his mind.
1.-TWO weeks longer! How can |
bear it?o said he, rising up and pacing
the floor backwards and forwards, after
reading her letter for the tenth time.
On the next day, the seventh of his
lonely state, Mr.. Gray sat down to
write again to Lucy. Several times he
wrote the words, as he proceeded in
the letter-"Come home soon," but of
ten obliterated them. He did not wish
to appear over-anxious for her return,
on her father and mothers account,
who were much attached 10 her. But
forgetting this reason for not urging
her early return, he had commenced
again writing the words, Come home
soon," when pair Of soft hands were
suddenly placed over his eyes, by some
one who had stolen softly up behind
him.
"Guess tuy name," said voice, in
feigned tones.
But he had no need to guess, for a
sudden cry of JOY from lille toddling
thing, told that mamma" had come
How "Mamma' was Rugged and
kissed all round, need not here be told.
That SC, ne was well enough in its place,
but would lose lis interest in telling.
II may be imagined, however, without
suffering any particular detriment, by
all who have a fancy for such things.
"And father, tool" suddenly ex-
claimed Mr.. Gray, aftee he had almost
smothered his wife with kisses, looking
up with an expression Of pleasure and
surprise, at an old man who stood look
ing on with his good humored face COW
cred with smiles.
"Yes. had TO bring the good for
nothing jade home," replied the old
man, advancing, and grasping his SON
in-law's hand, with hearty grip. "She
did nothing but NOPE and cry all the
while, and | don't care if she never
comes to see us again, unless she brings
you along to keep her IN good humor."
"And 1 never intend going alone a.
GAIN" said Mrs. Gray, holding little
chubby girl to her bosom, while she
kissed it over and over again, al the
same time that she pressed close up to
her husbands side.
The old man understood it all. He
was jealous of Lucy's affection, for he
knew that she loved him as tenderly as
ever. He was too glad to know that
she was happy with husband, to whom
she was as the apple of his eye. In a.
bout three months Lucy made another
visit "home." But husband and child
were along this time, and the visit
proved happy one all around. OF
course "father and mother" had their
Jest, and their laugh, and their affection
of jealousy and anger at Lucy for her
"childishness," as they termed it, when
home in May; but Lucy, though half
vexed at herself for what she called a
weakness, nevertheless persevered in
saying that she never meant to 90 any
where again without Henry. "That
was settled"
