fragrance. The canary overhead burst
every moment in wild snatches of glO-

long, blue stockings, nearly finished
and her fingers flew like snOwbirds.

fond of it ?"
eyes, quite; like it better than any
thing else-that is, unless to churn.n
"And do you read much 2" Fred's
glance had travelled from the corner of
his eyes to every table, shelf and cor
ner, in search of some book or papers,
but not book or leaf, yellow or rare,
had repaid his search.
"Oh, yes, sir" said Helen, with a
sanctified air.
"What books, permit me to ask ?"
81 read the Bible good DEAL" said
she, gravely.
"Is that all 2"
GAN; of course not; and what do we
find in the Bible History, poetry,
elOquence, rOmance-the most thrilling
pathos-" blushing and recOllecting
herself, she added with a manner as
childish as it had been dignified; Gas
for other books, let me see. Fve got
in my library-there's the primer( count
ing her fingers), School Glass Reader,
Robinson CrusOe, Nursery Tales, Fairy
Stories, two OF three elements of some
thing, biography of some person or
other, Mothers Magazine and King
William III. There, isn't that good
assortment 2"
Fred smiled.
"Perhaps l don't know as much as
those who went to school more" she
added, as if disappointed at the mute
rejOinder, "but in making bread, churn-
ing butter, and keeping house, Pm not
to be OutdOne."
The young man felt more in pity
than in love, but his visits did not al
ways so result. He began to feel
magnetic attraction, which he mainly
attributed to Helen's beauty, but the
truth is her sweetness and artlessness
of character, engaging manners aud
disposition, had quite won the city
bred aristOcrat, Fred Lane. There was
a freshness about everything she said
or did. She perplexed as well as de-
lighted him.
Often, as he was wondering how
some hOmely expression would be re-
ceived in good society, some beautiful
sentiment would drop like pearls from
her lips more remarkable for originali-
ty than for brilliance.
"If l should fall into the snare,n
thought he, 81 can educate her. 1t will
be worth trying
1t was useless to combat his passion,
so at last he fell at Helen's feet, figura-
lively speaking, and confessed his love
for her.
al care not, Helen; only be mine,"
was his invariable answer to her ex-
clamation of unworthiness.
