meaning Of which, having read Mr.. Clanron-
AIDS letter, was clear to meas though she
was pleading to me to place no bar to her
happiness. 1t was natural anxiety but
there were no grounds for it. Our Eunices
welfare was too dear to her mother and me
that we should not-with some touch Of
heartache, must confess-further her low
ing wishes. To some extent We were respon-
slble for consequences, for we fully approved
OF Harry Clanronald, and. had not discour-
aged his visits. He was q manly young fell
low, and appeared in every sense suitable for
Eunice Although two years ago his family
and mine were strangers. We had been for a
great portion of that time on terms Of
close intimacy, and had contracted mu.
tual regard for each other. My only
fear was that Harry would press for an
curly union, and l thought Eunicc too
young to commence the grave business Of
married life. My wife, however, combated
this view, and reminded me that she was
younger than Enuice by three months when
we were wed. Arguments such as this, ap-
plying to others the rules we deemed correct
in our own persons, are seldom convincing,

than few months.
At the appointed hour Mr.. Clanronald came,
and we soon arrived at an understanding
that the projected union was suitable in every
respect: but it was at my instigation, and

''There will be no difficulty, presume"
said Mr.. Canronald, and his eyes wandered
TO the evidences of wealth by which l was
surrounded.
"None whatever" I replied. "Eunice's
great uncle, whose heir am is absent from
England, and 1t will be naturally agreeable to
him that he shall have voice i'll the matter
He is very wealthy, and the postponement
will be in the interest of the young couple"
"Quitc So" said Mr.. Clanronald. II am
prepared to do what is necessary and proper
and you will meet me in q like spirlt?"
He put this in the form of question, and
replied, ''you may rest perfectly satisfied"
He expressed himself SO, and then we went
to join my wife and daughter at lunch. He
shook hands cordially with my wife, and
kissed Eunice, who knew by that sign that
all was well. She blushed and trembled and
moved close to her mother, whose tenderness
towards the dear child we were to lose was
redoubled.
Excited and eager, Harry Clanronald came
In the evening and had an interview with Eu-
nice, in which mutual love found expression.

in prayer. Alas the loving guardianship is
coming to an end, and the dear one

natural tears at the impending separation,
but we are grateful that Eunice's affections
were fixed upon a man of sterling honor.
