Dr. johnson, cpnreiying that he
alone was tho object Of a merrimont
which insulted and outraged his most
refined feelings, gave three short hnrks,
aud walked away In incsprcsslblc dis

''jut this ill-timed mirih has prevent.

my question: observed Philip, when
the laughter bad somewhat subsidized.
II don't know what 10 Say" said
Mabcllc, turning away, tho confusion
which her mlrth had covered rushing
oyer her again.
Say yes"
'lt seems such n wild idea for YOU
and me TO get married"
"Wcll, let US hayea wild idea or two.
I then.
What would Angela sayp"
"she would say that II you had
played your cards properly, you might
have done better like herself. Say
yes, Mabelle' Say you love mo at
least
"Oh, | do indcedr'
"And these lips OF yours arc so true,
and this right hand never ret held n lie
in It," said he, kissing first 1uc then the
other. "Lct me call them ,ulrc. aud
you shall find that whatever e',e | may
be, | am rs true rs yourself."
Mabclle left her hand in ht, aud
Philip only released ii to put II In that
Of his mother. and ask her TO bless her
new child.
On the evening Of Mabcllc's wedding.
day, Angela sat alone with her hn;.
band. who had come out In n manner
~ surprise every one. on the suspicious
occasion. The festivities had all been
over for some hours. the last Of the
guests had departed. and they were
alone. There was dead silence between
them, till Mr.. Fordyce. looking up over
his spectacles from the pages OF "A
pamphlet entitled Free Trade In
Land" remarked. beneyolently:
"MY dear. there Is something almost
romantic In your little sister marriage,
though Il has not been u runaway
match. like ours was.n
Angela did not answer for a moment,
and thsn she aid
at Is a poor match for n Fairfax. aud
n girl so beautiful rs Mabclle Is. She
ought to have done better, II | had been
able to introduce her into the kind OF
society she ought to have gone into"
"lf you mean tho society Of persons
In my sphere. which Is NIL the So
ciety | choose to have about NO." said
Mr.. fordyec. you ilatter me. But |
think she has done well. There Is
something most attractive about that
young man-so genuine. And then, he
has such go In him. lie is q regular
forkshireman for that. Standing rs he
does high In tho favor OF u firm like
Stark.c 4 Grey. there II no saving
where his advancement may end. Your
sisters husband. my dear. Is a man she
may well be proud Of. | declare
here MIR. Fordycc took of his s~pectaclcs
and wiped them-''I was quite moved
this morning. A. | saw their happiness,
and theiI evident perfect love Tor and
trust in each other. Thcy begin well,
very well; and | wish them all happi-
noss-eyery possible happiness. May
God bless them b0thr'
lie returned TO the perusal Of bis
pamphlet, and Angela sat. twisting
round and round n resplendent brace
let with which her husband. In his de.
light at the happiness OF the Young
people, had that morning presented her.
Her face WINS dark; the angelic smile
and langnorous glance OF yore did not
now appear upon II so often.
''Mabclle scarcely had mi presents
Of jewelry, she was rejecting, and |
have quantities. aud am always getting
more but then, Philip dotes upon
Mabelle. and will take her about
wherever she wants TO 90, and how was
10 know that no would DO so succcss.
fnla Some people have nothing but
good luck In this world. and some none
but bad. What Is the use Of having
pearl bracelets when there Is no one 10
see them but"
She did no, distinctly finish this son
tcnce, even In her own mind. but her
EYES fell upon the face Of her husband,
q benevolent smile upon his lips, his
thoughts buried in his pamphlet on tho
Land Question. II was \ homely, kind.
good face, which In tho early days Of
their marriage had often turned to her
with n very loving smile; that expression
had now grown much less frequent.
