DO not remove my baggage, as perhaps you will

She then explained all in regard to the letter
and what had been overheard by the bearer and
closed by saying since she had sent compliments
she Thought best to come: but if such part as
she proposed to act would BEN the least unpeas-
ant to him, she would unhe>iatingly depart.
BY no MEANS replied the uncle your plot

During all this time, peeping from the win
dow above was Emily, and as she witnessed the
removing the baggage, her appearance was quite
as Imaginable as that of her cousins and her re-
mark, much more 50.
Ca, horrible! : she exclaimed raising both
hands, and looking as if she scarce knew wheth-
cr to laugh or cry. rs Louisa first made her ap-
pearancc, what a large bonnet and as to her
outside dress, really believe it is her cid fathers
big farmer coat. Wei, well, papa need not fear
smiling lips, and honiod words from me, for

she tnonght maybe cousin Emily had none, and
this woo!d be just tn" thing to kiver us both in
oar rainy walks. lis too bad, too bad aud the
tear, began to flow.
At ri, moment, Sir E lwari Walton. the son
0t q MARQUIS VINO visiting at Mr.. Wimot's
was announced, and hastily drying her tears and
arranging her studied dress with becoming neg
ligcnce, she proceeded to the drawing room
where hn was awaiting her. A look of unlis-
guisod admiration from him rewarded ner trouble
and forcing herself not to regard the presence
OF her annoying cousin, was soon in an anmating
conversation.
In the meantime, Louisa had been busy en-
gagged in decorating, or rather disiguring her
self for the pursuance of her plan. Her beauti-
ful brown hair had been tightly drawn back from
her forehead, and its iuxuriant trcsscs confined
with an immc Use tortoisc-shel comb; directly
across her fair brow, was bound IA row of short,
Sttf, artificial curls, secured by black tllct,
which was tied back of the ear, with bright
pink bow Her dress, which in no way fitted
her elegant form, was of calico gaiiy striped
with red and green the waist encircIed by n red
sash, fastened with an old fashioned brass belt
buckle. TO complete the arrangements, pair
OF mlttS encased her delicate hands, and green
shoes sat loosely Oh her feet.
While Sir Edward and Emily We're still en-
loving their tetea-tetc, the door was thrown open
and glowing the country asee stood courtesey-
ing before them Emily was so shocked that
She was umahi" to arise; but not at all dscou-

her arms about her neck, imprinted a smack on
her cheek, which resounded through the room
like the bursting of a bottle of beer; and with
