No, no., said Harry, charmed by such

taking we'll scrubbed chair, i've only a
few minutes to stay. My call il on you,
came TO see how you bore the fatigues
Of yesterday
Fanny laughed till her teeth, 90 white
and so little, looked behind the rosy lips,
like pearls, set in the richest ruby onam-
ell. 'Fatiguedl Why we had such charm

Fanny blushod, but rallied and answer
cd laughing, Never grow oldl oh, soon
enough. What a funny sight I'll be, to be
sure, bent almost double; and cap on
my head like granny Horns.
Harry laughed, so ludiorous was the
imagei and thus he and Fanny were as
much at home with each other, at once,
as ifthey had been acquainted for some
years.
, The intended five minutes impcrcepti-
bly, grew into ten, and the ten into half an
, hour. Fanny continued at her household
, work, pleasantly chottering the while,
, both she and Harry 30 mutually interest
4 ed as TO forget timo places and, AT last
tho entrance of Mrs. Somers interrupted
, the tete-a-tete. Fanny was little en-
bauassed, when she found how long she
. and Harry had been alone, but the easy
r matter of course manner as he shook
/ hands with her mother, restored hor Ia
, herself
4 If the elegant refinement about Isabel
4 had tempted Harry 70 fall in love, the
. household charm which surrounded Fan.
/, ny forced him to do 90 whether or no.
, He went away, thinking 70 himself what
a charming wife Fanny would make, and
how sweetly she would look in her home
I dress, engaged in her domestic duties,--
Nor is Harry the only young bachelor
4 who remembers that a wife cannot always
be in full dress, aud who naturally wish
5 es to know how she will look in the ktch'
en-.
"A wife ought to as much know how
to manage her own house, he said tC

And if had such dear little wife, how
a I'D coax her to go into the kitchen occa'

1t soon became apparent that it woul(
=, be no fault Of HaTy's, he did not have
! Fanny for wife. Never was u mar

}. to conceal it. Had Fanny been a foolisl
d nirt, she would have played with his feel
i ings, as vain girls will when secure Of
o lover. But she was too frank and goot
e for this, and only hesitated long enougl
v to be certain of tho state other own hear

q in fact, could not be. Though Away

G amiable, intelligent and full Of sount
- sense. She had read and thought greH
i deal especially for one so young.
@ Her heart ran over with unwritten po

r he could not have found wife so com

v him.
. What a talk the engagement made

who without being half as capable Of sin

i therefore, was piqued, even degrade,
l. herself so much as tJ call tho bride elec

: her long unhappy.
g II was not until the young couple hat

e Every other girl visited that morning
+; he said, was playing the fine lady; ant
: that while, as well knew, their motheri

t reasoned that the daughter who wouli

$ Besides, it is a common error with you

= Praise, blame, love kisses, tears and smi!es.'
As he recited these lines with exquisit,
sensibility, he put his arm around Fanny'i

bosom and shed happy tears.
And 80 we leave them.
