Boston, Jan. 20.

Dsar Aaat Nary:-Harry is here; that
i, ne is in the city. My aunt and cous-
ins have met him twice in society and lie
has called here or ce. Before he came,
however, | received sundry little notes full
of protestation against the deception, OF
which we should both be guilty if we met
as strangers, to which | unvarying re-
piled that if he felt SO seriously about it LIE
had better quiet his conscience by staying
away altogether.
My aunt is in raptures. She can find
no words sufficiently expressive Of her ad
miration whenever his name is mentioned,
which Is about four times an hour. 1t ap
pears that the circle in which he might
move as a prote-e of DR.. BIS is a peg
higher than ours, aud his coming among
us is therefore a condescension, and only
to be accounted for on the ground Of some
irresistible attraction.
"Of course, Margaret" said my aunt,
you are not a judge of elegant society,
but | think his appearance must have in-
pressed even you. What did you think
Of him?"
81 though, I was-I-that is, like
him very much.'' Recovering myself
from the transient confusion that had sez-
ed me on beng appealed to, added,
" Very likely he is as poor as church
mouse"
He has position, Margaret" said my
aunt IN rather displeased tone, g and a
few years practice hill make bim wealthy

added refectiyeIy and quite unconsciousy

Ny aunt went on with her day dream
as ii she had not been interrupted, and il
was settled that as nothing but som,
I special attraction could have drawn Har
ry into our set. and as no other young

and grace Of my cousin Harriet, it was as

a Brick too Much.

"You stad out SO late" she said, " that
| feared you had been sick"
IIic-ain't sick, wife; but don't you
thin't Pm a littls-hic-tight?' p
GA very little, perhaps, my dear, but
that is nothing-you have SO many friends

once in while"
"Wile, you are too good-the truth is,
| am d-drunk."
"Oh, no, indeed, my dear, I'm sure
that even another glass wouldn't hurt you.
Now, suppose you take glass of Scotch
ale with me, just as nightcap, my dear"
"You are too kind, my dear, by half, |
am drunk"
"Oh, no, only a julep too much, my
love, that's all. We'lI take a glass of ale
at any rate; it cannot hurt you dear, |
want one myself before l retire"
The lady hastened to open bottle, and
as she placed two tumblers before her on
the side board she put into one very
powerful emetic. Filling the glass with
the foaming ale, she handed that one with
a most bewitching smile to her husband.
Suspicion. came cloudiIy upon his mind
She had never before been so kind 20 him
when he was drunk. He looked at the
glass, then raised it up to his lips-then
hesitated.
"Dear, won't you just taste of mine to
make it sweeter!' said he.
Certainly, love-" replied the lady, tax
ing a mouthtul, which she was very care,
full not to swallow.
Suspicion vanished, and SO did the ale,
emetic and all, down the throat of the sat
isfed husband. After splitting out the
taste, the lady finished her glass, but
seemed in a hurry to retire.
She fixed a foot. tub Of water before an
easy chair, for which the husband was Gu
rious to know the reason. A few moments
later the guIph and the splurge from his
throat gave answer.
The brick was gone when he rose from
the easy chair, and he never after carried
one home to his wife.
