How Nice Girls Behave Whom One of
 Their Set 1Iarries.
 Evelina is engaged Indeed, she is shortly to be marrled. Her set" of whom she IS tho first to take this important step, are greatly tiuttered by tho approaching event, says the Youths Companion, and talk it over on every possible occasion.
 One of them says it is dreadful for an un- known man to come from away out West and carry off one of their girls. They will never see her again-ncverl She will como home to visit, probably; but a girl who is married tells " him " every thing, and has lost interest i'll people, and isn't the { .-le at all; and they may as well make up their minds to lose her, once for all.
 Hero there is chorus of sighs and groans, and another nice girl says he isn't much to look at, either; she has seen his photograph He has pale eyes and a ridicu- lous little moustache that she knows by his look he is extremely proud of. Why Evelina wants him, she can't imagine. He isn't handsome, or rich, or heroic, or any thing else interesting. He is just a commonplace young man.
 Some one here timidly ventured to remark that Evelina is nothing very remarkable 'hersef, and, perhaps, commonplace young man would exactly suit her. Silence follows this observation, and the person who at length breaks it discreetly r selects another branch of the inexhaustible subject: Does anybody know any thing about tho rousseau? It appears that they all do, but tho information possessed by one exactly agrees with that of no one else, and it is half an hour before they have sifted out the probable truth from mass of con- fiicting accounts, all given at once and very loud.
 When tho most important point has been debated and settled, they take another half hour to express their amusement at the idea at EveIina's actually keeping house; they say it is nearly as absurd as to call her Mrs.
 They then discuss the coming ceremony, and each gives at lengtha description of the manner in which her own wedding should be conducted, were she to marry Several of the girls say they should like to marry, ! just to show their friends what wedding l ought to be.
 Ono remarks that she, too, would like it, that she might demonstrate to every body that q bride need not be pale, and can say, "I wIll,' loud enough to be heard beyond the first threo pews, If she will only make up her mlnd beforehand to do it. When Evcina's marriage really takes l place, she is very pale, indeed, and too nerv- 1 ous to attend properly to her train.
 But her friends forgive her these little errors of conduct, and admit that on the wholo she did very well. One of them who steps down to the station, and stands behind a pillar to see her start off with her husband for their now home, even says afterwards that she has almost forgiven her for choos- | ing him.
 He looked as commonplace as ever, she declares; only when two people seem as happy as they did somehow you have to for give them every thing; and she hopes the other girls will stay single for a long time to come; but as to Mrs. Evelina, she wishes l her good luck with all her heart.
 This is about the way nice girls behave when one of their number makes a conn monplace young r@an happy.
