 Good night, Harry,"I said. 'You are a fortunate young fellow to have won the hear. of our darling chlld."
 "1 am the happiest man in the world, sir," said Harry. "You may trust her safely to met will prove myself worthy of your con- fldence and her love-"
 Joy and sadness are strangely mingled on such occasions. Parents wistfully recall the sweet "reminiscences of the child-life which H. lumined the past, and touched the hours with golden light. Memory fingers upon the solemn bridge. beyond which they see little bed, with a flushed face sleeping in frame
 of sunny curls, and from beyond which floats the pratde of a voice melodious as heavenly
 music. The bright eyes look up into their own; the slender form, in It's dress of snowy white, kneels by the bedside; the shadows gather round it; the little hands are clasped in prayer. Alas the loving guardianship is coming to an end, and the dear one Is going to the arms of another, for weal or woo. My wife and I shed some natural tears at the impending separation, but we are grateful that Eunice's affections were fixed upon a man of sterling honor. On the following day Eunloe informed me that she had promised Mdlle. Rosalie that she should remain with us till the day of the wedding; and, moreover. had promised that her governess should be one of her bridos- maids. would rather not have it so, but had not the heart to cross Eunico's wishes at ! such happy time of her life as this.

two years we had struck up friendly ac- quaintanceship with a gentleman of inde- pendent fortune who lived a few miles from Boscombe Lodge. and on the morning of the foregoing conversation with my wife l re- ceived the following note from him:
 NY DEAR MR. PARDoN-Unless receive . telegram from you to the effect that you will not be able to sec me. shall do myself the pleasure of calling upon you at about o'clock, to discuss g matter of the deepest and tender est interest to both of us. With very kind re- cards to Mrs. and Miss Pardon and yourself, believe me, faithfully yours.
 HASTINGS CLANRoNALD.
 There was no mistaking the purport of this letter. We had long suspected that MT. Clanronald's son, Harry. was in love with our daughter, and 1t had formed the subject of many serious conversations between me and my wife. Eunioe's heart, we saw. was lost, and Harry's father was now coming to ask her hand for his son. peculiar self consciousness on the part of Eunice con- vinced us that she had been informed by Harry of the impending interview. Loving che always was, but there was clinging. pa thstic tenderness in the morning caress, the

meaning of which, having read Mr. Clanron- dds letter, was clear to me-as though she Wa0pleAding to me to place no LAT to her happiness. It was a natural anxiety. but there were no grounds for it. Our Eunicc's welfare was too dear to her mother and mo that we should not-with some touch of heartache, must confess-further her lov- ing wishes. To some extent we were rsspon sible for consequences, for we fully approved of Harry Clanronald, and had not diseour- s0ed his visits. He was manly young fel- 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 early union. and thought Eunice 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, but I allowed myself to be beguiled into the
 promise not to stipulate for a delay of mora than few months. At the appointed hour MT. Clanronald came, and we soon arrived at an understanding
 that the projected union was suitable in every respect: but 1t was at my instigation, and not ct the instigation of MT. Clanronald, tn 1t the business aspect of the affair was post poned for future consideration. I had the
 best of reasons for this postponement. "There will be no difficulty, presume" said MT. Clanronald, and his eyes wandered
 to the evidences of wealth by which I was surrounded.
 "None whatever" l replied. "Eunice's great uncle, whose heir am is absent from England, and 1t will be naturally agreeable to him that he shall have a voice in the matter. l He is very wealthy, and the postponement
 will be in the interest of the young couple" "Quite so," said Mir. Clanronald. "I am prepared to do what is necessary and proper and you will meet me in a like spirit2" He put this in tho 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 we'll. She blushed and trembled and | moved close to her mother. whose tenderness
 towards the dear child we were to lose was | Yedoubled.
 Excited and eager, Harry Clanronald came
 in the evening and had an interview with Flu

wooing her through heloophole. She did
not dare remain longer than an hour for
fear of discovery, but promised to return
on the next appointed evening
This was kept up for some weeks, her
father and sisters bantering her on her re-
cent romantic turn. One afternoon there
came very near being discovery. Her
father, unknown to her, had gone in the
woods with his favorite dog to shoot SOUR
rels, and when returning saw his daughter
sitting reading in her favorite seat under
the hollow oak. She did not perceive him
as he came up and he was not in the
line Of the loophole. Hearing her voice,
he called to her to ask what she was reading.
| Genevieve was so much alarmed that she
was near betraying herself An instant
later Plato, the pointer dog, had scented
foe and rushed, barking furiously, to the
hollow Of the tree, very much to her alarm.
"Down, Plato, down" commanded his
master, but the dog was not easily sileneed.
He bounded into the hollow, reared up,
and scratched frantically against the tree,
keeping up his furious barking.
"Why, the devil must be in the tree,
exclaimed Mr. Dubose, somewhat vexed at
the dogs persistence II think I will try
to see what is disturbing Plato" With
that he got a stick and went inside the tree
himself, thrusting up into the hollow. He
brought nothing to light, however, and
presently came out saying II think it
must be either snake or a squirrel" T"
Then he continued, saying: "In these
troublous times don't know that it is al
together safe for you to be. out here.
Come, we will 90 in: but first. to satisfy
this yelping dog, | viii FIRE my gun up into
the hollow"
His daughter turned sick and pale with
horror when she saw him advance to the
tree. She was about to confess all when
a happy thought struck her. She ran up
and took hold Of the gun 'Hold on,
father, she cried, 'slet me fire: | know |
can bring down the creature, whatever it
is Before he could reply she had taken
possession of the gun and was pointing the
muzzle somewhat too low for her fathers
notion.
Point it straight up, daughter, he
directed She did so and raised the trigger.
but at the same instant let the muzzIe fall
to an angie of As degrees. Bang went the
gun, aud the load was discharged into the
body of the tree fully two feet below where
her lover was standing, almost convulsed
with the ludicrousness of the situation and
the ready wit of his sweetheart. She,
having fired off the charge, puts the gun
across her shoulder and follows after her
father. She drops her handkerchief, and
turning to pick it up, waves adieu to her
lover under pretenee of shaking off the
dust
In few moments she disappears, and
Armand de Lille, who has been standing
off at a short distance watching the pro-
eeedings, since within few minutes after
she was Joined by her father, is about to
move forward in the same direction, when
he stops short in wonder and rage, for he
distinctly sees man slip from the hollow
of the tree and disappear in the thick
underground of the wood. To see is to
pursue.

THERE'S A BOY IN THE HOUSE.

A gun in the parlor. a kite in the hall,
In the kitchen book and a bat and BALL
on the sideboard ship, on the book case flute;
And hat for whose ownership none could dispute;
And out on the porch, gallantly prancing nowhere,
spirited hobby horse paws at the air:
And well polished pie plate out there on the shelf
Near the tall jelly jar which mischevous elf
Has emptied as syly and slick a mouse,
Make it easy to see There's a Boy in the House.
A racket. a rattle, a rollicking shout.
Above and below and around and about;
A whisiling a pounding. hammering ofnails,
The building of houses the shaping Of sails;
Entreaties for paper, for scissors, for string,
For every unfndable, bothersomc thing;
A bang at the door. and dash up the stairs
In the interest of burdensome business affairs;
And an elephant hunt for bit OF a mouse,
Make Il easy 10 hear There's a Boy IN the House.
But oh II the toys were not scattered about,
And the house never echoed TO racket and roUi;
II forever the rooms were all tidy and neat
And one need not wipe amer wee muddy feet
Ifno one laughed out when the m0rning was red,
And with kisses went tumbling all tired to bed:
What a wearsome. work-a-dAy world. don't you sec
For all who love wild little laddies twould be.
And I'm hsppy to think. though shrink like
mouse

man they had yet seen. Genevieve was
rather more chary with her praise, but
when left alone found herself speculating
about him. This occurred more than
once, half regret mingling with the re.
Election that he was an enemy of heI
country.
About a week later he came again, at
tended only by an orderly, his professed
object to discover if they had been sub
jected to any further annoyance and to
renew his promise of protection.
Dinner hour coming on while the officer
was in the house, Mr.. Dubose's highbred
courtesy would not admit of allowing him
to depart without being invited to dine.
He therefore, with outward poll eness but
inward reluctance, rendered the invitation
This was precisely what the young man
had hoped for and endeavUred to effect by
so timing his visit as to bring himself
within range of their usual hour for that
meal
He had been haunted necessarily by
Genevieve's fair face, and wished by hook
or by crook TO behold it once more. Mr..
Dubose, utterly unsuspicious, conducted
him to the dining hall "By what name
shall | introduce you to my family?" he
asked, pausiBg before reaching the door. >
Captain Villars, replied the officer.
The girls were taken somewhat aback at
the unexpected entrance of uniformed
British officer to their family party, but
quickly recovering themselves they en-
deavored to perform the honors of their
table with becoming courtesy and grace.
He ate very little, and was as much as
tonished at the easy, graceful conversation,
the high bred manners of this colonial
family as they had been at his sudden APP
pearanee. or course he made himself as
agreeable as possible.
Ifhe had been captivated BY Genevieves
beauty in the first instance he was now
much more 50 after recognizing her other
charms and graees He returned several
times after this, inventing various plausible
prctexts, as be thought, for so doing; but
Mr. Dnbose having once been susceptible
young blade himself, began to have his
suspicious aroused and summarily put
stop to allowing his daughters to appear
If the young man came about meal time
he would still most politely insist on his
partaking Of that meal, but of the ladies
only Mrs Dubose would bear them CON-
pany.
