I'm sure don't know, returned Aunt Hat

bonnet; orr may be that the measles are round

Uncle laughed. How serious you are, sHar-
riss 1t is right good news; good for Marion at
least. The new house built by Col Hayning is
to'oe no longer without an occupant. The Col.
hiTiself is coming next week, with his family.

There is not better young man in the state Of

nisg had long known by report Known him
as Jan orator and poet. Enraptured, had
fingered over words which had fallen from his
pen, and deep, deep in my heart had wondered
if hs was all lie seemed. But, luckily, Uncle
George didn't know of this and more, did
not intend he should so / remained silent.
After dinner was over, was deputed to wash
the dishes, of which task, thanks to the expert
enee with the bread pans, / acquitted myself
with honor. Then we took our work and sat on
the western piazza until the sun was far down
the sky, and the tall green trees on the far-otf
hill held up their arms to enfold them. / gazed
deRghtedly on the splendid prospect, but was
immediately disenchanted by Aunt Hatty's sum

Tfse teakettle was boiling on the stove, and the
bread for the toast was already of a delicate
brown. Aunt passed me the tea urn, and in
stracted me to .scald - with water from the
katsle, and obliged he. faithfully, scalding the
urn, and a large place on my arm at the same

Davis Pain Killer, Tin which she placed infal-
halle trust,) and my unfortunate limb was BAN
daeed with an ample sized cloth, and consigned
to Hert,a and Sling for the time being. Tn.
cleFSeorge sympathized with me deeply, but
Chprlie half laughed as he was told the particu-
lars of my disaster. Perhaps he thought the
blli-eyed Ellen Hall, the daughter of rich far
mel Hall would never be guilty of like I'M

The next day was the Sabbath. Candy and

gazsd abroad on the green quiet country. Every
thing partook of the sweet, solemn Stiffness
Evsn the little brooks seemed TO glide more
softly, and the birds sang their simple hymns in
thedarlz trees. The church was three miles
awiy; SO Uncle harnessed the white horses into

New beauties unfolded themselves at every

feature in the picture of loneliness! Its little
sleisier spire glistened brightly in the yellow

TIE church, like most others in the country,
was not enclosed, and cousin Charles drove up
to slie very steps. Men, women and children
were standing about under the shade trees wait
