Il can, for am he.
"You, my uncle?' said Mrs. Lowe, in
surprise; then you are indeed welcome
Emma, bring your uncle the arm chair, and
place il close to the fire; and Mary, bring
your fathers slippers. for / am sure your
uncle must long to get off those heavy boots.
And now, uncle, when you are quite rested,
| must demand recital of your adyen-
lures.
But your brother, Alexander" inter
rupted Mr.. Beaumont; "le. me first INQUIRE
about him. He hives in this city, does he
not?'
A slight cloud came over Mrs. loves S
face.
Yes" said she, "he does live in this
city; yet, strange as it may appear, | sci

well, and is wealthy; Hut ever since he mar

II can easily believe it. was the reply,
''for |, too, have been repulsed."
''You repulsed! Did you give your name
and inform her Of your relation to her hus
band?"
Il did; but she did not invite me to en>

ing: you fear no repuise here"
''Ot that am quite sure, said the old
gentleman, looking affcctionately into the
face Of his niece. ''Bu' you have not told
me of yonr husband. Let me know wheth
er you have make good match" he ads
ded playfully.
II hat depends upon what is meant by
the term If it implies rich husband,
then failed, most certainly; for Williams
salary is only eight hundred dollars year.
and that is what we have to depend upon.
But for all that care not. for a kind and
affectionate husband is of far more worth
than magnificent dwelling and costly fur
niture.
You are right" said her uncle, warm
ly; and infer that your husband is Of
such character"
He is, in truth"
'Siill, continued her uncle, "there must
be something which your limited income
will not permit YOU to obtain. but which
would be desirable, is there not2'
Yes, " said Mrs. Lowe, Il am anxious
to give Emma and Mary musical edlca

Of a piano; so that is one of things which
we must be content to deny ourselves. -"
Mr.. Lowe Their entered. and, being in.
formed of the character of his visitor, ex
tended warm welcome. A comfortable
repast was soon spread, of which Mr.. Beau>
mont partook heartily. His spirits rose,
and he seemed to grow younger as he saw
the cheerful faces around him, and felt
himself at home. Soon after the evening
meal he rose to depart.
Surely, you are not going?''?' said his
niece; you must henceIorth tske up your
abode with us"
I'VE will see about that, and if you don't
think you will get tired of me, perhaps |
will come. But | have bired lodging
and must undoubtedly remain in it for
few days. "
But you must call in every day and
make yourself perfectly at home, even be-
fore you come here to stay" persisted his
niece.
BE assured of that"
In accordance with his promise Mr. Beau
mont made his appearance next day at
about eleven O'Clock and was received as
cordially as before. He had hardly been in
the house quarter cf an hour when load
rap was heard at the door. Mrs. Lowe an
swered il. She beheld two men who had
driven up in a wagon.
Where is the piano to be put, ma amp
they inquired.
Piano! You have made mistake: we
have not purchased piano."
Isn't your name Lowe?''
Yes"
"Then it's all right. Jim; bear a.hand,
for it's confounded heavy" ".a...-....-
But am sure there must be some mis-
take, insisted the perplexed Mrs. Lowe.
Not at ALL" said voice behind her
She turned around in amazement.
You know, continued the uncle, that |

ihough l.would pay my board in advance,
that is all. AS You expressed wish yes.
terday for a piano, I thought it would be
as acceptable a way as any.
You, uncle! Why-excuse me-but |
thoueht from--frOm--
You mem, !" said he smiling. "that you
thought from my appearance that could
not afford it. And confess" said he,
casting glance at himself in the glass,
THAT my dress is not in the extreme Of
fashion, and in fact was obliged to look

find these. However, as have got all the
service that ] wish out of them, / shall
throw them aside to morrow, and appear
rather more respectfully clad. .
What! are you wealthy. uncle?"
''Depend upon it Anna, didn't sperd
ten years in the East Indies for nothing"
was the reply.
II had mind, however; to put on the
appearance OF poor man; and so test The
affection and dis,nterestedress of my rea

Let us retnrn to the aristocratic Mrs.
Beaumont who few mornings succeeded

Beaumont, in amazement. 'N hat do you
