gan to feel anxious. On the third day, a
neat little perfumed envelop came into his
hands, which, on opening, he found it con-
taned pink, perfumed, satin-edged sheet
OF nOte-Daper, on which were a few lines
most delicately written. They were as
| follows
My DEAR SIR :-Y our letter, contain
ing most flattering avowal of regard for
one who is comparatively a stranger, has
been received. It's effect | will not at
tempt to describe nor will |, at this time,
venture to put in written language what
feel. Tomorrow evening will spend at
Mrs. T-s. May | hope to see you
there! Yours, &c.

Andy was in ecstasies at this answer to
his epistle. Its meaning to him was plain
| as if Kate had said, Dear Andrew, nv
heart is yours
On the next evening, he repaired TO
Mrs. Us, trembling with fond an
tlclPatlOn. On entering the parlor he
! found but single person therein, and that,
young lady named Herbert, TO whom he
had formerly paid very marked attentions.
/ Aware that she had been made unhappy
/ by his hckleness, not to call it by a harsh
er name, the meeting rather threw damp
/ er over his feelings. But ANDY had
! his share OF GOODNESS and self possession,
! and, although St cost him a considerable
effort, ne managed to introduce topics of
/ conversation and to talk pretty freely, al
/ though the talking was nearly all on his
/ own side, Miss Herbert maintaining a
cold reserve, and answering entirely in
/ monoSyllables.
For about Il quarter of an hour, ANDY
! endured the ordeal, wondering why this
( particular young lady should happen to be
| alone in the parlor of Mrs r, and
wondering still more why Miss Archer
/ did not make her appearance. Just as he
began TO feel little excited and uneasy,
the door opened, and in walked another
| young maiden whom he had reason to re-
member-a Miss Mary Harper. She was
also one Of his old flames; she appeared
surprised at seeing him, and greeted him
/ with cOldness. Andy tried to saw some
sprighdy things to Miss Harper; but he
was far from being in as good condition as
Herbert had somewhat exhausted his reser-
voir Of spirits, and his attempts to draw
farther thereon were not very successful.
The two young ladies' drew together on
the sofa. and maintained mutual reserve
towards ANDY that soon berau to be pain
fully embarrassing.
