voice broken with emotion, reply.
That she had long thought l cared
for her little, but that the show of so
iull an announcement of my feelings
was very trying; that she reciprocated
my affection, and that she was ready 10

OF which she now gave al enlarged and
improved edition. That my own heart
must tell me what hers felt at that mo.
ment, and must paadon all inaccuracies
IN expression; whereupon she subsidized
into her Observation-Disclosures.
[ believe I did the correct thing-I
believe I kissed her hand-I have heard
her say that appeared enruptured. 1t
may be, cannot say anything about it.
l remember nothing between the con-
clusion of her speech and my finding
myself leaning exhausted against fence
quarter OF mile off. Then the whole
horrid truth burst upon me. With no
intention of doing SO, with no idea of
single blessedness and peace. had be-
come an engaged man, another persons
property and that othcr person a young
woman.
went to bed and dreamed that l had
successfully emigrated to the Sandwich
Islands. There / had just wooed and
won dusty bride, when her features
changed into Mics Cilly Busse, who,
grasping me by the hair, and bearing
parchment inscribed "breach of promise"
hurried me again into wakefulmesss and
misery.
When one has been particularly hap
py the night before, the probability is
that the next morning will bring with
it vague sense of misery; but there is
the conclusion, that if you go to bed par
ticularly wretched you are pretty GER
tain to wake in tolerable good spirits
the morning after. When opened my
eyes and looked my sorrows full in the
face, l did not feel SO thoroughly dis
mayed as before, and was further en-
coursged by receiving a summons to
leave Lillyville at once, on important
business. l would be out Of the way Ut
any rate and who could tell what might
turn up? At any rate, / ought to 60
and bid good-by to Cilly Busse.
Miss Cilly opened the door for me her.
self.
She looked very fresh and blooming,
and though her nose did turn up, her
eyes were pretty, and stopped at them
and did not examine further. Her lips
were round and soft-so were her cheeks.
So strongly was l impsessed with her
beauty that l inveluntsriiy kissed Miss
Oily Busse, and after had done so !
found that l liked it. Miss Cilly did
not struggle very hard, so l did it again
Miss Cilly said that was enough; so we
went in and sat side by side on the par
lor sofa. If a gentleman does not want
to make immediate and desperate love
to q Young woman, do not let him sit on
sofa beside her, particularly a small
sofs-crede erDerto. l had not been in
that position five minutes, and had told
half my future intentions, when L dis
covered that my arm was around Miss
Cilly's waist, and her head on my Shout
der. Consequently, l began to ieel very
bitterly at the necessity of parting, and
to express myself SO enthusiastically that
Miss Cilly was absolutely moved to
tears. Yet, oh! the fickleness Of youth.
No sooner had l got out of the house,
where | had just been swearing eternal
constancy, than l fervently hoped never
to enter 1t again. Once out of sight of
Miss Cilly, my feelings toward her be-
gan to cool; and, by the time that L was
seated in the stage that was to bear me
away, / was as impatient, OF the chain
that bound me 10 her rs | had ever been
before.
l sat IN the stage unmindful of my
fellow passengers, and weighed down by
gloomy reflections on my destiny. At
ter a time became nervously aware Of
the fact that my opposite nelghbor was
looking at me. Being naturally ar
reused by this to return the same, sud-
den elevation of my eyes brought them
in contact with. two soft, dark orbs,
cleaning timidlv from the recess OF n
travelling hat. From that instant ielt
that l was gone-thst l WAS madly in
love-that naught on earth could sep
arate me from the properties of those
heavenly eyes. l cast Miss Cilly Busse
from nv recollection. | was soon IN easy
conversation with Rosa Maylsnd-such
she informed me WAS her name. found
out that we were both going to remain
some time, and that l might call and see
her if Ii ked. l did not find the slight
est difficulty in visiting Miss Rosa May
land. After repeated calls became con-
vlnced that Rosa reciprocated my sentl-
ments; for she did not appear bored by
nv visits, and thought that no humau-
ity could stand two visits day, OF in
q mite length each, without either, being
bored or in love with the visitor. l
would have cast myself at Roses feet and
declared my affection; but there was that
horrid engagement with Miss Cilly Busse
how to get released from 1t. he
duced to despair l tried the last resort
left to me. l unbosomed myself to
Harry Sinclair. Harry Sinclair was
very handsome fellow, and perfectly At
home everywhere and insfevery emer-
pencv. He used to visit Miss Maryland
in company with me pretty often, though
Rose and he did not seem to talk great
deal to each other, When told HIM
nv unhappy predicament he pulled his
cigar very violently-so much so that
the smoke made him wink and cough
violently. He had quite recovered by
the time had got through, however,
and he gave me the result of his medit-
atoms.
ANY dear Greene"-my name is Adon-
is Greene-"I must admit that you are
in a Fix. 1t is not strange to be IN love
with one girl and marry another-thst
occurs rather oftener than you imagine.
But to get engaged without meaning to,
ON one evening, fall in love with some
body else tho next day and get out Of
the frst engagement the next week
that last will require generalship. We
will see, however. l am going down to
Lilyville tomorrow, and will examine
the state of the premises: You hold
yourself ready to come down when l
write for you, that's ali. By tn, way,
Greene, YOU had better not commit your
