Wilton remarked that once, when she had jok-
ed Miss Morgan upon her conquest she rather
petrishly replied, that she may have subdued
him, but he had never acknowledged her pow

er then" said Anna
Well, is this attachment the cause Of Mr..
Rhodes single condition ? Was there NO one
else al whom he could look in church, who
would be likely 10 look at him also ?" said An
ma, podding towards her aunt
No" said Aunt A. with hearty smile,
" none in the pew TO which YOU aude al
least was 100 sirongl Y impressed with the force
OF The tenth commandment, =" thou shalt nOl
covel Thy neghbor's OK, nor his ass" ever 10
be looking oucr Miss Morgan at Mr.. Rhodes"
One morning Mr.. Rhodes was sitting in his
office, when Of the deputies read of list
of executions and attachments, which he had in
his hand 10 serve, and among them was one
against lady al short distance. The amount
was not great, but enough TO bring distress
upon family.
"Le, ne take that said the Sheriff, with
some feeling; "l is on! of your walk, and
will drive TO ,he residence of The person To-
morrow morning"
The modest vehicle Of the officer stopped at
The door of neat dwelling house in retired
delightful situation, where all things told Of
Taste and economy. The Sheriff opened The
gate. ascended the steps Of The house and asked
if Miss Morgan was al home.
The servant answered in the affirmative.
AS Mr. Rhodes passed along the hall, he lho'I
over the part he had 10 peif0rm-how be should
introduce the subect--how, if the debt should
prove 10 be erroneous. he should conrive 10
tighten the burden by his own abilities and
when he reached the door, he had conned his
saluaion to The lady, and his opening speech
on the subject of his official call.
The serran, opened the door-Mr Rhodes
entered with bow He blushed, hestated and
a, length took seat, 10 which Miss Morgan
directed him by a graceful turn Of her hand.
/ After few moments hesiiancv, Mr.. Rhodes
fel, lha, i, was his business 10 open conversa-
tion that would explain tbs object OF his visit {;
so he ofiarel by way of preface, few remarks
upon The coIdness of the spring.

the weather has been, and even notwithstanding
few frosts, YOU see the trees have their richest
foliage, and Ihe flowers are luxuFian."
True" said Mr. Rhodes; q il seems thai
though there may be great deal of codness,
that nature will have her own way, and, in
time, will assert her prerogaiive, late, perhaps,
Miss Morgan, but still The same"
Mr. Rhodes felt rather startled al his own
speech. and looking up, was infinitely asionish-
ed to see that Miss Morgan was hlushing Ike
one Of the roses that was hanging against the
window.
1--WE are pleased" said Miss NJ 40 see
wha, we admire breaking through the chilling
Influences by which they have been restrained,
and satisfying our hopes Of their ultimate dis
closure"
Miss Morgan was looking directly iowards
the bush on which three roses were clustering
in most gorgeous richuess-
Mr. Rhodes pui bis hand into his pocket, and
fell of the official papers, gather lnle cour-
age from their contact.
