The Widows First Love.

The fire cracked cheerfully on the
broad hearth Of an old-fashioned pub
lie house, in an old fashioned village
down in Cornwall. \ cat and three
kittens baskcd in the warmth, and a
decrepid yellow dog, lying full in the
blaze. wrirlsled his black nose APP
provingly, as he turned his hind feet
where his fore feet had been. Over
the chimney hung several fine hams
and pieces of beef. Apples We're fes
tooned along the ceiling, and other
tokens OF. good cheer were scattered
profuscly about. There We're plants,
too, on the window lodges, horse shoe
rerani,,ms and dew-plants, and Il
monthly rose Just budding, to say
nothing of jars of violets, that per-
tumed the whole place whenever
they took it into their purple heads
Ia bloom. The floor was carefully
swept, the chairs had not a speck OF
dust on a leg or round, the long set
tee near the Fireplace shone as if it
had been just vanished. and the

which the widow looked very stead
fast at the empty armchair OF Levi
Minards deceased. Herfingers play
ed carelessly with the apple-peel, she
drew it safely towards her and looked
around the room.
"Upon my word, it is very ridicu-
lous, and [ don't know what the
neishbors would say if they saw me"
Still the plump fingers drew the
red peel nearer.
"But they can't see me, that's a
comfort; and the cat and old Bowse
will never know what it means. OF
course don't believe anything about
it,"
The peel hung gracefully from her
hand.
"But still I should like to try it;
| it would seem like old times, --"
Over her head it went and curled
up quietly on the floor at a little dis
tance. Old Bowse, who always slept
with his eyes open, saw it fall and
marched deliberately up to smell it.
"BowSc, Bowse, don't touch it ~
cried his mistress, and, bending over
it with beating heart, she turned as
red as fire. There was as handsome
an "S'' as any one could wish to
see.
A great knock came suddenly to
the door. Bowse growled, and the
widow screamed and snatched up the
apple-peel. =,
