She clapped her hands and stamped
her feet, and threw her body to and fro,
and from side to side, her forehead some
times almost touching her knees, or the
e bay hpoH about 70 an
lutte her heels; while those around at
tempted, or seemed to attempt, to re-
strain her, but they did 80 with exclams
atoms Of sympathy and admiration,
which only excited her to wilder ejacu-
latiOns and more unmsnageable cOntOr-
tions. "Glory! GlOryp shouted Caro-
Of a sister, and away went the folds OF
my panier. "Hallyluyerw she yelled,
tossings her arms in the air, and
snap flew the buttons from my new
dress; while my hat slipped from
her head to the back OF her neck, and
was finally tTampled under foot.
"GIOTyI I'se washed in de ribber o Jur-
din. My feet is clean, land my pearl
pin bit the dust. She set her eyes, stiff
fened her limbs, and began to jerk spas
medically, exclaiming, Ppm gWine to
the New Jeruzalim! Pm a gwine! Pm
a gwinew
They all crowded around her, climb
ing over each others shoulders, craning
their necks to the right and left, push
lag their heads under each others arms,
calculating, shouting, signing, gTOaning !;
while Caroline continued to Jerk spas
medically, and KEEP her eyes shut and
held her breath as long SO she could.
This beginning to grow mOnotOnOu5,
it was presently proposed that she should
be taken down to the lecture-rOom; and
she was borne out by portion Ofthe adj
miring crowd, while some one else arose
to "give in his experience l was by
this time quite exhausted, and proposed
that we should go home; so as Caroline
was borne down ore flight Of stairs lead
ing to the vestibule, we descended the
opposite, and at the foot she caught my
eye. Angry as l was, IcOuld not resist
laughing at the change this incident
produced. She had been recumbent,
staring, and stiff; on this instant she
started up, and darting behind one Of
her ex-supporters, exclaimed with her
usual cOllOquial grace: "LOr, Miss
TeZie! how come you here"
" / came only to ask after your sister,
Caroline" L answered, 'suavely, land
to seek the latest styles"
"Isn't it odd" l continued to Ed
ward, as we walked down the street
"isn't it Odd that we should have gone
to-night?n
"No, my dear" said he. "While I
was talking to John, saw Caroline run
through the back-gate, recognized your
dress, and thought would give you the
same opportunity"
The next morning ct breakfast, hav-
ing handed Edward his coffee, and given
me everything l wanted, there was an
interval of rest; and Caroline, twisting
her waiter about, "rose to explain"
(Which o course you thinks mighty
hard Q me, Miss TeXie," said she.
"What about, CarOline?" l asked,
innocently.
"Bout things as happened last night,
an l knows how wrong l done, and 1
hopes you'll scuse it dis time. You kin
take it Outen my wages, an git yoset
more cl0ze jes like en-"
"DO you know how many months
wages il would require to pay for those
things, Caroline"
"NO'm; how manym
&C. should not like to tell you, for l
am afraid you might not believe me-"
d" Well, Miss Texie, clar to gracious
dunno what make NE do sech a trick;
an eff de Lord u spare me dis time, l
amt nuvvr gwine do it agin"
"YOu will not il this house, certain
ly," said Edward, quietly.
Caroline put her apron to her eyes,
and l hesitated, she was so admirably
tidy, and negroes are generally so dread
fully the reverse.
81 dunno how come to do it, sir.
Ole Satan"
ave have had enough of old Satan
and white horses. Bring some batter
cakes" said Mr.. Smith, and Caroline
faded temporarily from view.
"Oh, Edward" said l, pIaintively;
"she brushes ones hair so nicely"
He made no reply.
OF course no woman is married five
years without learning how far her hus-
band will allow her to impose upon him;
so after a glance at Edward, l took my
banners from the outer walls, and fold
ing them away for more suspicious
season, left my treasure to her fate.
