Tn her whose genius can prize your own.
Your taste improve, and your thoughts inspire
With kindred spirit and answering fire.
The world may eXtOl your honored name
And bind your brOWs with the wreath of fame.
But its praise is light as the ocean foam,
Compared 10 the kindly words of home"
The wedding was consummated ac-
C0rling To the plan proposed. The festlYl-
ties were over. both at the house of Mr..
Gordon and Blr. HaUghtOn. The usual
quantity of kisses and compliments, and
more than the usual share of admiration
had been bestowed upon the bride. She
had been leading a kind of artificial life,
and happy, as she could not help being,
CynOsure of all eyes as she was, and centre
OF attraction TO the circle in which she
was for the time being moving, and hap
pier still in the bright consciousness of
possessing him who was deaTer to her
than all the world beside, yet she lOnged
for the quiet of their new country home,
when she could have him all to herself,
when this tedious process of dressing and
undressing would be over, and she would
be relieved from the press Of visitors who
claimed so much of her time and whom
she was so tired of hearing say, one after
another, 1--WE are having delightful
weather now"
Mrs. HOnfeur had invited them TO come

they settled themselves in their new
home, and when they arrived there
ateer their long but pleasant journey they
met a cordial welcome both from herself
and Clare. They had come in their own
carriage, which was the usual manner Of
travelling then, for in those early days
that was the only method OF travelling eX-
cept the numbering stage coach, and If one
decided to take a post route the prOOa-
bility was they had either to 20 very much
out Of their way 70 strike the Travelled
highways or hire n conveyance some
where to cross from one point TO another.
a. time was no object with them, and they
could feel no WEAKNESS when together, so
keen was their enjoyment of the joint lite
which was opening before them IN its
fresh beauty. they had made their ar
rangements to accommodate their pace to
the wagons which they had with them
bearing the last installment OF their house
hold goods.
Ii was late in the evening when they ar
rived at Mrs. HOnileur's, and she had de-
l3yed her supper in expectancy OF their
coming. Clare was perfectly OVeTpoWered
at the sight OF them. When she parted
with them last Sue was happy in possess
ing the love Of Mr.. lie Nerrier. Her heart
then was as buOyant as theirs was. Her
marriage was TO have taken place before
theirs-indeed they were not then en-
gagged. Now the hopes Of her life were
shipwrecked, and they were blest IN each
other. She was too full fer utterance,
and it was with difficulty that she con-
trOlled herself sufficiently 10 take any part
ia the conversation. She was not CnyiOus
of their happiness, but. oh! how she
grieved over the loss of her own. Her
mother understood her feelings, and SYM
pathiZing with her tried To relieve her
from conversation as much as possible,
while Mr.. Green CNeTted himself TO enter
tain the household guests, which the live
" tongues of Louise and Frank made an
easy task. They were full Of the incidents
of their journey, and Louise had a great
deal to tell OF their visit TO New Orleans.
Il cannot tell you how many times l
horrifed mother HaughtOn by breaches of
etiquette" she said, smilingly. Il should
not think people would find time there to
dOanything else but study etiquette. forts
laws change 50 frequently. For instance,

HaughtOn lecturing Miss Glare"
"MOther HaughtOn, if you please, ana
