seem possible, or at least probable in our
case. You were not born to fortune,

- Indeedp = replied Jenny, your remarks
are not calculated to give me very exalted
opinion in life--but I will forgive my fu-
t1re husband this time, as he has not yet
very closely investig gated my personal his
tory. OF one thing ! am certain, however,
and that affords me no little qualification,
you did not marry me for my money, little

Nothing more was said about fortunes
then, but George had sudden surprise in
store for him-something startling and as
unexpected as any event that could happen

On his bridal morning, as he was dress
ing at bis boarding house, an elogan. car
riage with span of milk white horses,
stopped before the door, and the driver
springing from his seat rang the door bell
and inquired for Mr.. George Lennoz. O.

not near so elegant one as this. There's
something wrong here ..-.v ~-

Jenny Irving said George to himself
musingly, and striving to unravel the mys-
terry. 'What street does she live on :"
Rand street, No. SO, SIR ''
'The same, ah! dear girl thought he,
she is trying to mystify me little, by
sending round carriage at her own ex.

After their marriage at the church they
returned to Jenny's aunt, and sat down to
await the arrival of some friends whom they
were going to treat to few viands prepared
for che OCCASION.

cast glance out of the window, and seeing
the carriage they had left at the dopr still
