and Eunce touched her new piano, aud
sang; but her voice trembcd f; SO at last
they came and sat by The fire side-like
John Anderson and his spouse; as Henry
laughlpgly sald-ard built castles IN the air:
the Jest always ended IN seriousness, for
they were too happy TO be very mrlh(ul.
+. Time glides away fast enough with
every one, and most OF all with those
whose life Is uniroublrd. EunIce
had been married six months before she
began to think how long i, was since
she had res signed her hand into Henry's
loving keeping. Yet short as time seem
ed, it was sufficient To make the former
life of both appear like dream. They
had already settled down into
calm sedate married pair. Sometimes
people Jested with them upon restricted
freedom and marriage letters; but
Henry Wollerslan, only laughed-he
was ever OF merry Woodland asked
II any man or woman, SINGLE or not,
could ever truly say they had their hber-
IN. And in good truth il Is we'll It should
be 50 for such liberty would be a sore
burden sometimes.
II Mrs. Wolferstan still kept no her inter
course with her cousin, for Emily, was
Of too generous n dispusltion To make
the difference in station bar 10 such
old friendship. Sill there was IN the
worlds eye the distinction between the
wife Of rich barouct and Of "a gentle
man of limited income, and still more
than this, there was the difference oi
habits, thoughts, leelugs, which the
position Of the two cousins naturally
brought about SO that # the intercourse
OF the two wives gradually narrowed 1t
was no, very surprising. EunIce never
returned from The square which hrrathtd
the very atmosphere Of galety and spIen-
dor without feeling a sense at relief on
entering the quiet precincts OF her """
home.
One day she came earlier than usual
10 vlsit Lady H.estcr whom she iound
still in her dressing room. Emily lay
seemingly half asleep: but when Eun'cc
drew aside the rose colofed curtains
and let IN the warm noon sunshine, she
saw the pale face and swollen eyes tha
were beneath the iIch lace cap. -BeIofe
she had time 10 speak, Lady Lester
observed.
