OH you need not think 10 rejoice over me
said Miss Jones 10 herself. then looking VI
with flashing eyes, Size addressed her frienC
as follows.
But that isn't all. They say Mr.. Benson
was even more devoted TO his cousin, ant
that they are engaged for sure. and hav'
been for a year. And old Mrs. Beaupor
is safe TO have remarked that he only came
to see US village grls-did you ever hea
such Northumberland Clara banishes hin
as she does every morning, for you know sh'
works for the poor.
Atihese words, delivered in a tone of ,ri
umph, Sarah Henwick turned pale with an
ger.
The two friends well understood eacI
other. and knew what envious feelings ran
kled in their bosoms. they united, however
in their envy of Clara Benson and their ha
fred of Margaret Warwick. On this latte
person. therefore. their full fury fell.
And suppose that Margaret Warwick
thinks she is going 10 get Mr.. Churchill

after pause. during which she smothereC

Pm sure don't care for Mr.. Churchill
said Susan Jones. tossing her head. As for
him being so rich, don't believe n word of
il. He is only some half-starved lawyer
come down here 10 pick up a wife with
money.
Then he'll scarcely marry Margaret War
wick, said Sarah Henwick, pointedly.
Oh! no. he's only flirting with her. Shell
repent Of her folly yet. but when it's too late
let what better could be expected OF her
for folks DO say strange things of her moth
or; and Pm sure il is not usual, and don't look
well, for her 10 be receiving a pension as she
does, nobody knows from whom,
And thus did these malignant girls re.
vengc then mortified vanity by endcavoring
10 sul!y The fair fame Of their innocent rival
and her excellent parent. Had either Sa-
rah Henwick or he friend known the ex-
tent OF The admiration with which Marga-
ret had inspired Mr.. Churchill, they would
have been ready 10 have bitten their tongues
of with vexation.
ALFRED in Il simple white dress with
single white rose in her luxurant dark bair,
Margaret Warwick never looked lovlicr than
at The party OF Governor Shurbrick's, with
whose family her excellent breeding and
unassum:ng virtues made her an especial IA
vorIle. The old governor himself had intro
duced Mr.. Churchill to her; calling ner the
Hover OF The village, which, summoning a
roSeate blush TO her cheek. made her look
mDre enchanting than ever. The young
lawyer was delighted with her beautiful en-
barrassment, bui more delighted when, after
her reserve wore of. he discovered how rich
ly stored was her mind, and how pure were
all her sentiments.
Day after day he was seen ut the little
white cottage Of Mrs. Warwick, and once
or twice in the moonlight evenings, he and
Margaret were noticed walking under The
avenue oil elms that skirtcd the pretty church
yard.
Rejoice with me, said Mr. Churchill al
length, breaking INFO his friends room enc
day. with almost boisrerous hiIariiy, ii MOOD

haPplest Of men. Miss Warwick has ac

she is the best and Iovliest other sex.
Always accepting my cousin, the future
Mrs. Harry Benson, said his friend with Il
quiet smile, calmly knocking the ashes from
his cigar.
Churchill smiled too, for he saw his friend
was inclined 10 quiz him, as evena mans
best friend, they say, is inclined 10 on such
occasions
Then excepting Clara Benson, he said.
We will draw no compar ison between our
uture wives. But can say, if was not a.
bout 10 marry Miss Warwick. ] should envy
Harry Benson his bride.
