who worked in the office with ne.

was sorry that he could not so with
me, and | think he was, too; more
particularly as he had been at hone
with me when had made my last
visit, and had thought Bill had
taken quite fancy to my sister Jane.
l couldn't blame him, though, for
that, for Jane was quite pretty; and
if she'd been some other fellows sis
ter, don't know what 1 should have
done.
Just tell EN- I'm well. says Bill,

that | expect to be down there to see

sat down in the little. Io~.roekinp,
chair by the stove.
Mr.. Stevens couldn't come; but he
hopes to be down in the course of q
month or two. l shall not be here,
then, and he and Jane will find it all
the more pleasent-they can be alone
together, you know, mother and Jane
blushed and looked very simple; and
l could not help thinking what lucky
fellow Stevens would be, when
heard some one coming up the garden
walk, and sweet. little face peeped
III at the window, and then q young
lady came in. She was somewhat
surprised to find stranger there, but
sister Jane made us acquainted; and !
do not think / ever got along better
with a new acquaintance in my life.
10 be sure, l was not much used to
society; | was much more at home
with my ledger in the Office with Bill
Stevens.
However, Miss Dean, Jane and I,
made quite pleasant party that even
ing; and when Mis- Dean went away,
| went out with her; and we walked
along in the moonlight; and l know |
felt very happy, and did not care to
speak very loud; and l remember that
We were very great while in walking
up the hill to Mr.. Browns. where Miss
Dean was visiting with her mother.
We stood at the gate great while
talking, till / thought that mother
aud Jane would think it very strange
and so l bid her goodnight and went
back. thinking all the time, to myself,
about what she had said. and how
sweet she had looked when | left her
standing In the moonlight, with her
white dress cleaning Ike silver, and
her face so fair and tender-looking.
