For tbs re.t, sbe bad been got up without any uudue pro-' portion of heart aud conscienc?, though with her usual art she contrived to pass for I having a larger ahare of each commodity than many of her eorope.rs.

"You know she used to lead the school." "Tom!1 my dear," said Mrs. Fairfield; "pray what was he doing io a young ladies' semiuary?" Emma laughingly explained that this was ao abbreviation of Miss 1 bonus pat ronymic; all the girls wore called by their surnames, which were shortened as much as possible. "1 waa Fairy, sbe said, "and Zara was never called anything but Max. "A very unlady-liks habit," remarked good Mrs. Fairfield, rather severely. "I wonder Mr. Koborts permitted it.'' "Indeed, mamma, I think it would have pusiled bim to prevent it; not that I ad mire it very much now ; bat we must allow little for tbe high spirits of school girl."

"It would be odd, really," she solilo - j quixed, "if I should meet my fate here io j the interior. Let me see we are in Feb - ' ruary now; there wilj be plenty of lime to get every thing lhrout!b and be ready to go lo Washington with 'ialber' next December. However, 1 will wait nil 1 sec the individual himself.

"A fair 6;ld aud no luvor," and the game begat, It l"d long; was :-rj tvdious, thought Kmma, who sat by iudustnou-iy emptoyed iu crocheting, and cast ever aud auou a glsuce at the board, vainly eudeavonug to comprehend what tbey were about.
