Il consider myself but fortunat,

But the ears are about to start
and we had better get on at once"
SO the young lady babe her friend,
good-bye and tripped along by th,
side of our hero. who handed her in
and swept past his ungracious chum
to take the seat the old lady had oc
cupicd, enjoying the little episode cx
ceedingly.
The young lady was intelligent aS
well as pretty, and chatted with Har-
rv as if she had known him for years.
After while he though he would

"Who is that handsome girl ?" was
the first inquiry.
She is the old lady's granddaugh-
ter" replied Harry, complacently.
Introduce me, will you!"
Indeed, shall not do anything
of the kind

some way to make her acquaintance,

Il hope for your own sake YOU
will do nothing rude"

Harry left his companion who could
only enjoy the privilege of looking nj
the little lady.
He watched tho two in quite dis
consulate manner, for, to tell the truth,
he had fallen desperately in love with
Nav, and envied Harry every beam
ing glance and smile that she bestow-
ed upon him.
She was going to visit in the very
town where the Young men lived,
that our hero had the pleasure of her
society for several hours, during which
time their acquaintance ripcned very
rapidly, and when they parted MAY
gave him cordial invitation to visit
her, which he accepted with evident
delight and very soon took advan-
tagc of
The young lady was visiting her
aunt, Mrs Cook, who knew Harry
by reputation, and so welcomed him
very graciouslv to her house.
He soon became frequent visitor,
and then offered TO give his friend,
Burlcigh, the introduction he had
for sometime desired, and which he
now accepted, becoming thcreupon a
more constant caller than Harry him.
self.
One evening number of young
people were collected in Mrs. Cooks
elegant parlors, when the c0nvcrsa-
ton happened to die out for while.
Nav proposed that each one should
tell story.
The proposition met with general
approval, and was carried on with
zcst and enjoyment by all concerned;
laughter and applause proving the
success of each narrator
When it came to MAYS turn she
gave a full and lively account of the
incidents just related, repeating the
conversation of the young men al
most word for word.
Harrv's face, which grew redder
and redder, would certainly have be-
trayed him if MAY had once glanced
in. his direction, but she carefully
avoided meeting his ewes.
Sam, in the meantime, instead of
growing red, grew very pale, for in
this sudden disclosure of his rudeness,
he read the downfall of his dearest
hopes, and, excusing himself very
soon after, he took his leave, feeling
angry and mortified enough.
The next morning he called bright
and early at the Office of Young
MADDOX, and salutcd him with the cx-

4 short time aiterward MADDOX was
seated on snug little sofa, by the
side of his fair lady love, looking very .
well pleased with his situation, which
