IT is not in the United States alone
that letters are misdirected and not di-
rected at all. There were 4, 400, 900 letters
received at the returned letter-office in
London last year, of which 10000 were
not addressed. One of them contained
over so, 900 in bank notes. Among the
odd addresses were the following: Z" Mr..
Smith, at the back of the church, Eng
land,' and "NIy dear Father in York
shire, at the White Cottage with White
Pailings." One was directed, This is
for her that makes dresses for young
ladies, that lives at t'other side of the
road to James Brookslip, Endsover,
Chesterfield" And another, "This is
for the young girl that wears spectacles,
who minds two babies, 80 Sheriff Street,
off Prince Edwin Street, Liverpool"

ask the question. She was every thing
that he wanted in wife. She was sweet
tempered, beautiful, cultivated and hon.

satisfaction of knowing that she married
him for himself, and his future would
be but little less perfect than Paradise.

lence.

His heart beat loudly; he took her

al love you now," she replied, in a
whisper.
When they parted that night he had
explained to her that he was not rich,
but that he was able to live modestly,
and had told her how love for her would
give him vlgor and power to do great
things. He was afraid his manner was
little theatrical while he had said this,
because she had looked at him in r,l1z-
zled way. But her answer was kiss.
They were married in August. He was
too impatient to delay longer. They
were married at farmer Hooper's and
all Newhall turned out to the wedding
And when Featherby took his bride
away, many were the good wishes that
followed them.
And he had not yet undeceived her,
nor told her of his real position in the
world. Their bridal tour was not
through hackneyed routes, but was
through by-ways of country where they
were always close to nature. He did

sense in having thought of this mas
querade, and wondered why men could
linger among the affected girls of the
cities, when there were such charming
flowers of womanhood in the country.
And how pleasant the young ladies had
been! Miss Manley was evidently the
belle of the place, and she was very
pretty; but Miss Verney was-well, if
not quite so pretty, little more inter-
esting. He had had very pleasant
walk with Miss Verney. She
had just the color of hair he most
admired-gold, tinged with red. She
looked a little wearied. No wonder;
some one said she was the school-teach-
er. Pretty hard work for delicate
woman, he said, and then be threw his
cigar away and went to bed.
AS soon as he awoke in the morning
he began to laugh aloud. His dreams
had been absurdly real, and through
most Of them he had figured-now with
Miss Manley, now with Miss Verney.
His system must be out of order, he de-
clared, still laughing heartily, and a walk
before breakfast would set him right.
From the hotel towards the river was
the prettiest street in Newhall Great
elms dropped gracefully across the road
and made royal canopy. Featherby
started down this street at moderate
pace, until he saw a lady sauntering
ahead of him. He thought he knew her,
and few minutes of energetic stepping
brought him, beside her.
"Ah, good morning, Miss verney; do
You, too, require morning walksp''
"Not often," said she, blushing,
" for find enough exercise during the
day; but this morning was too pleasant
not to come to the elm walk -
She looked very pretty. Her morn
