A while Mabel hung upon her moth
er's bosom, and then she turned away
AT the gate carriage was in waiting and
the husband and wife were soon seated
therein. The cars were reashed, and
away the happy couple were carried to
Stonington. Here they took the steam
! boat, and soon found their state-room.-
They remained upon the deck until near
midnight, enjoying the scene so new to
Mabel, and talking over and over again
the joys they had won.
1t was early morning when the boat
reached the pier in New York, and for a
while Mabel was confounded by the
strange din that came crashing upon her
ears.
Coach, sir? Coach Coach -
mo" replied Charles.
1--WE can walk )" whispered Mabel, as
she thought her young husband look ed at
her as though he would ask if she wished
him to accept any one of the hundred Of
fers he had of coach.
Wen walk until we can get a coach to
sui, u.s. he said, with smile
Almost as he spoke young man, dres-
sed neatly and well, came up and bowed
very politely to Charles, and then led the
way out to the street, and very soon Ma
/ bel was handed into coach-the hand
soonest one there. Her husband babe
/ her wait a few moments, and then he
went back toward the boat. He returned
in short time, and having taken seat
/ by her side the young coachman drove
off.
you shouldn't have hired so expensire
a conveyance just to please me, Charles,
the young wife said, after she had cas-
her eyes over the luxurious trappings OF
/ the coach.
"O," returned the husband, gin such
a city it makes little difference III price
In all probability that rough carman would
ask as much to carry us upon his dirty
car as our coachman will charge"
Up into Broadway they were carried,
and here the young wife had work enough
for her eyes. She had never been IN
The city before. The teeming life of that
great thoroughiare was just out from It's
slumbers, and afforded Mabel much en-
tertainment. At length they reached a
/ lovely park, in which the great trees were
/ blooming in summer verdure, and through
which the graveled walks were laid out
regularly and neatly. The coach stopped
before a noble mansion of brown stone,
the great steps of which were heavy and
imposing, while great door of dark
carved oak, with Its silver trappings gave
forth an air Of wealth which could not lie
mistaken.
Here 2" whispered Mabel gazing up
at the structure.
I ''Yes, a friend of mine is expecting US
here" he returned, as he aIighted, and
I then handed her out.
The coach drove away, and as the
/ young couple ascended the steps the great
I door flew open. An obsequious servant
/ bowed them in, and Mabel was conduc-
! ted into parlor, the sumptGou5 trapping>
Of which fairly struck her with awe. The
carpet let her foot noselesIy into It's soft
rich fabric; the furniture was of oak, and
marble, and gold and crimson velvet; the
ceiling high and elaborately wrought in
pure white stucco; the walls hung all
around with superb paintings; and the
heavy chandeliers seeming to throw a
sort of majestic halo over all.
Suppose we walk over the house,
said Charles.
''But will they like it 2" asked Mabe
tinlidIy.
! oh yes. Ny friend told me to fee
perfectly at home. He likes to have his
house shown to his friends"
So Mabel arose, and having passec
through the long parlors, her husband
conducted her up the broad stairway
: The rooms above were not a whit behinC
those below in point of sunptuous fur
nishing and arrangement, and the youne
wife was fairly bewiIdered with all sh,
saw. Her husband showed her the prin
