As tLey passed the lawn waiting for Col.
Hamilton's arrival, Nellie could not help
thinking to herself what a very different
story this was to the many hackneyed love
condolences she was in the habit of reoeiv-
ing from friends and schoo-fellows. How
pure and genuine was the affection that
manifested itself in every infection of her
aunts voice, in every passing expression
of her countenance, as she related the past
particulars of her acquaintance with the
Colonel, and the happy glowing prospect
of the future. Nor did she criticize the
worldly position of her intended husband
or his relations; the tale she unfolded was
one of true simple hearted love, that itwon
her niece's synpalhyto a degree oil earnest
ness the aunt had little idea OF. Miss Wes-
ton appeared TO absolutely revel in her
new possession, and as they waited for the
next twenty minutes, Nellie noted the un-
wonted inattention paid by her aunt 10
matters of the moment She did not even
pay the gardener the kindly compliment
on his new ilower-beds, for which he fish
ed strenuorsly for nearly five minutes,
but kept casting eager glances towards the
little side gate through which Col. Hamil-
ton might be expected
The time passed on, il was now quar-
ter 10 six. "He is always so punctual,
Fanny, hope nothing is wrong" suggest
ed Mrs. Weston. "There were a great ma
ny designs. it would take long time to
choose she replied, but her heart throb-
bed rather anxiously. "Come Nellie" she
exclaimed at last, "let us go little way on
the cliff"
"Do you really want me, Aunte?' whis-
pered Nellie, fearful of being de trop.
"fes, child of course! Guy is coming
on purpose TO see you, make haster
They passed down the garden to the lit.
tie gate. Miss Weston paused.
1--WE will wait here few minutes" she
said. 1.-The only CROCHET Guy has is that
he 81 much dislkes people thinking he
cannot take care of himself; wish he
were not quite so reckless. Mr.. Marsh
