My DEAR AUNT: Although you told
me when l invited you to my wedding
that was too young to marry, and not
capable of choosing a mate for life proper
~, aud with due consideration, l know
that you may now feel that I was wiser
than you thought. In selecting dear Or.

and attentive husband, and one who has
neither fault nor a vice. Heavens
What must girl suffer who finds herself
united to dissipated person, neglectful
of her, and disposed to seek the society of
unworthy persons, who drink, smoke, and
do all sorts of dreadful things!
Thank heaven, Orlando ia perfection.

Orlando was trying to kiss me, right be-

The flowers are coming up beautifully
in the back garden. We sowed great
many seed. but hardly expected so many
plants. Among the most numerous Is
one variety with large leaf that scratches
ones fingers, and don't smell nice. L

me by talking about weeds; but seeds al.
ways come up, don't they?
Dear Orlando I come back to him
again-so excellent, temperate, and true.
Tell all the girls to marry as soon as they
can, if they can find a husband like mine.

him SO much away from me. A lawyer

sometimes they carry on the case until

dreadful Orlando had told me that
business-I think he said it was a case OF
life and death-would detsin him late.
So set up as usual, with book, and did
not worry until one O'Clock. After that l
was little anxious. I confess, and caught
q cold in my head, peeping through the
up. stairs window blinds for. dear aunt.
it was not until three o'clock that heard
a cab driving up to the street and saw it
stop at our door then I thought l should
faint, for was sure some dreadful accid-
emit had happened to Orlando.
i ran down to open the door, and Mr..
Smith, friend of Orlando's, who is not, l
confess, very much to my taste-suoh
red-faced noisy man-was just supporting
my dear boy up the steps.
"Oh, what has happened y cried |.
Don't be frightened, Mrs. White"
said Mr.. Smith "Nothing at all only
White is little exhausted. Application
to business will exhaust a man, and |
thought I'd bring him home"
Gall right, Bella" said Orlando, Smith
tells the truth-I'm exhausted"
And, dearest aunt, be was so much so
that be spoke quite thick, and couldn't
stand up without lettering. Mr.. Smith
was kind enough to help him up stairs,
and he laid upon the bed so Frustrated

I remem bered the French brandy you
gave me in olse of sickness. / ran to get
it out.
Have a little brandy and water. dear ?
I said.
The very thing, Smith is exhausted too.

And / 80 reprosched myself for not
having thought of it before Mr.. Smith had
gone. But I gave glass to Orlando. and
under Providence, think it saved his
life. for, oh, how bad he was !
'Belle,' be said, quite faltering in his
speech, the room is going round so fast
that I can't catch your eye. And besides
there's two of you, and l don't know
which is which
