Each of them was so dear to her that it
was a pity. that they should glover at
each other like enemies. Priscilla was
not at all shy; but she was combative,
and, as her aunt said of her atterward,
would not keep her prickles in. 81
hope, Priscilla, you like weddings"
said Miss Stanbury to her, not know
ing where to find subject for CONVEX

'In the abstract like Them" said
Priscilla. Miss Stanbury did not know
what her niece meant by liking we'd
dings IN the abstract, aud was angry.
81 suppose you do have weddings at
Nuncombe Putney sometimes" she
said.
81 hope they d." said Priscilla, "but
never saw one. Tomorrow will be
my first experience" =,
"Your own will come next, my dear,
said Miss Stanbury. m
81 think not" said Priscilla. 1T IS
quite as likely TO be yours, aunt. ms
Miss Stanbury thought, was almost an
insult, and she said nothing more on the
occasion.
Then came Hugh and the bridegroom
The bridegroom, as matter OF course
was not accommodate in the house, but
he was allowed to come there for bis
tea. He and Hugh had come together;
and for Hugh bedroom had been pro-
yided. Hisauut had not seen him since
he had been turned out of the house be-
cause Of his bad practices, and Dorothy
had anticipated the meeting between
them with alarm. 1t was, however,
much moro pleasant than had been that
between the ladies. Hugh" she SAID,
sJilly, Il am glad 10 seq you on such an
occasion as this
Aunt he said, Il am glad of an oc-
casiOn that can get me an entrance once
more into the dear old house. l am so

and murmured something which was in
tended to signify her satisfaction. 81

afterward that she hoped Mr.. Hugh had
sown his wild oats, and that matTimOuy
would sober him. When, however,
Martha remarked that she believed Mr..
Hugh to be as hard. working Il young
man as any in London, Miss Stauhury
shook Der head SOrrOwfully. Things
were being very much changed with
her; but not even yet was she 70 be
brought to approve Of work done on be-

On the following morning, at ten
o'clock, there was procession from
Ms, 5, anbury's house into the Cattle

the Lady Chapel. exactly opposite Miss
house. There were many of !
the inhabitants ef the Close there TO see
the procession, and the Cathedral bells
rang out their peals very merrlly. |
