Great preparations were being made by
my father to 60 out to our great city with
marketing. The first thing was to butcher

number of turkeys and chickens were torn
from their roosts, futtering and vocifer-

friends. A flock of quail and large bas-
kst of eggs were added. There were some

morning of the start of the expedition.

MY COUSIN MARY.

1t was my sad fortune from earliest boy
hood up to be failure in all ways. I
was not so handsome as could have been
expected in the son Of my beautiful moth
or and the young father who died before
was born, and who was also beautiful, I
was told. / was not brilliant, though
both sides OF the house showed men and
women of excellent ability, and, worst of
oil, was not good, though this puzzled
me not little as q child, for my inten-
tions were of magnificent order and the
resultant behavior not nearly SO repre-
hcnsible as that Of many boys knew less
punished.
But In some way the things meant to
do failed of accomplishment or were found
when accomplished to havo most unhappy
consequences, and tho things did under
pressure of discipline were seldom satis-
factory.
Years of reproof and often overheard
complaint as to my trying disposition
finally convinced me Of my unworthiness,
and in time grow to look at my life as
a failure, merely an opportunity for as
much self indulgence as could be procured
without too great expense.
Being Of lazy and luxurious disposi-
tion, early fell into the habit of deriving
an inexhaustible fund of pleasure from
mere Imagination of what things might
be, to console myself for my Intellectual
struggle to make them such. AS little
boy was sent to bed with military pre-
cision by my inflexible mother, usually
with sense of failure and Ill doing in
the day behind me, and used to lie mute
and still in my little chamber and make
up to myself in royal bursts of imagina-
tion for the disappointments of the real
life. How often, 80 laid and thought to
be sound asleep, have in spirit not only
established my pre-eminent virtues by
series of noble acts, SO easy to imagine, SO
difficult to perform in the gray irksome
ness of everyday life, but besides this have
I glutted my infant soul with the sweet
vengeance of magnanimity, arranging
unparalleled donations and privileges to

and unworthy son, upon my grateful fam
lily and friends. One sweetest JOY of these
fair dreams was that when l should be
man my Cousin Mary, who disliked me
for the disagreeable boy was, should
love and marry me.
1t was sore problem with me in those
days to decide whether should indeed re-
ceive the open gratitude of my beneficial
ries, reveling gloriously therein, or wheth-
er, proudest height of power concealed, I
should bestow all benefits in secret, and
yet remain, condemned and criticised by
the unwilling recipients of my bounty.
But my Cousin Mary in these dreams al
ways loved me for myself, and then, after
