Fashionable Tailor, It was the evening of the donation par ty at Rev. Simeon Slide's. 4 Jessie Field had trimmed her white muslin dres3 with apple greeny ribbonrfseems i1- and even Aunt Betsy had washed and ironed her French Cambiic dress, which constituted the cream of her wardrobe, and basted fresh frilliugs into the neck and sleeves ; while the 'Squire himself, blacking his boots on the kitchen porch, congratulated himself, in a complacent sort of way, on the contents of the box vvngon, which stood out under the shade of an old apple tree. 'If everybody takes, as .creditable a load to the parson's as that,' said the 'Squire,' 'I guess thoy won't starve there. A ham, a bag o' mixed chicken food, a firkin o' butter, six dressed fowls, a bushel o' russet apples, aud a loaf o' plum-cake,' made arter Grandmother Field's Revolutionary receipt ; aud be sides all that ' ; 'But human natur' is human natur' just the same,' said Peter. 'How was it Gr; n ly ? 'He took me out a ridin',' saLd the old lady, assisting her memory with a good ly pinch of rose-colored snuff. 'That's it exactly, said Peter. 'I've harnessed up Red Robin and washed off the buggy wagon, and I calculate to ask her to ride home with me from donation party.' 'And it was a dreadful moonshiny night 'reflectively added the old lady. 'Moon's at the full" exultingly mut tered Peter. 'I believe there's a fate iu it. - . , 'And he set up close to me,and squeez ed my. hand with the hand he wasn't drivir ' with, and he said I was the pret tiest girl he'd seen, and could I be con tented to come and live at Hawk's Farm. And I said I did'nt exactly know, but he might ask father. And were married the next fall. Ah, deary me, deary me ! how long ago all that 'Good gracious, pa ;' said Jessie, who was tucking away her curls under the strings of her split-scraw gipsy hat, 'how are Aunt Bess and I ever going to ride with all that load?' -'Well,' said. tho 'Squire, with an oleag inous little chuckle, -you'll have to con trive it somehow. One of you can sit on the: butter fir . in, and sort o' study it, and there's plenty o' room for the other along side o' me on the seat, and hold the plum-cake on your lap. And com ing bock, I ain't no way disturbed that you '11 get plenty of beaux. Gals always do. The moon will be at its full, and Pe ter Peck and Hiram Jellifer is both to be 'Don't talk nonsense, pa,' said Jessie" laughing, and looking provokingly pret ty Just as Aunt Betsey glanced over her shoulder into the glass, saw the reflec tion of her own face, and sighed softly : Ah, the sad, sad difference between 18 and 30. 'I was pretty, too, when I was a girl,' said Aunt Bettey to herself; I' don't sup-, pose I am positively ill-looking now. But the dimples are gone, and the smooth velvety curves of check and chin and there are iucipientcrows-feet around my eyes, and a wrinkle on my forehead and when I go to parties I am left to sit among the old ladies by the wall.' Peter Peck, who lived upon a comfort able farm on the mountain, had shot a deer in the woods like Nimrod of old ; he was a mighty hunter on the face of the earth and preparing a quarter of venison, neatly wrapped in a linen cloth, for his share of the donation party .; but ' Mrs. Peck, his grandmother, had fished ajar of apple sauce out of the cellar, and . dressed some tender chickens. . r ,.lIYir-.' . - .,'Anrt : T'm rist, rroinff to church myself,' said V - - ASSETS, $33,000,000 00. .

'But I'd rather clear off a wholpatch o' hickory woods.' j 'Don't be afraid, Peter, said the old lady, laying a kindly hand on his shoul der. 'If she's a gal wuth havin', she'll know you're a good lad. And I'll bet a cookey she'll say 'Yes." 'I only wish I could think so, granny,' said Peter with a smile. ! 'Is it Kate Danney ?' said Mrs. Peck, 'or Mary Elsley?' J "Tain't neither one,' said Peter, sheep" ishly. 'It's Jessie Field.' ' 'Land o' massey !' said Granny Peck, elevating her whitening hands. 'What on airth is a pretty pink-and-white piece of china like her to do in a wild place like thi3? " 'She's as smart as a steel trap,' said Peter. 'Don't yon worry, granny ! Once I get her here, you'll see that she'll be all right.' So Peter plied his venison and chick ens and jar of apple sauce into the back of the roomy old buggy, and drove away , to the donation party, as full of hopes and fears as any young girl. ' J 1 But when the saw Hira.n Jellifer, the village store clerk, enter, all redolent of pomatum and cologue, in a city-cut suit of clothes, and 'hair brushed to a peak over his forehead, his heart srfnk within him. 'I hain't no chance at all,' he thought. Jessie,' whispered Aunt Betsey to her niece, as they were cleaning the dining room for the games which followed upon the old-fashioned supper, 'do take a lit tle notice of poor .Peter, Peck ! See how his eyes are following' you. And you have hardly been decently polite to him!' Half an hour afterwards Peter Peck, uuable to make up his mind to ask pret ty Jessie to allow him to take her home with old Robin and the buggy, slided up to the 'Square. "Square,' said he, jerking the words out with an effort, 'can I take Miss Field home?' ; ; 3Iuch oblecged, I'm sure said the 'Squire. 'I bad the box wagon here, but I don't mind riding home, alone, if bo be as you'd, like company.' -: Peter drew a long breath. 'It's as good as settled now,' said he to himself. His.hcart beat high when in the mis ty moonlight, a slight figure came out under 'Square Field's escort, all muffled, shawled and veiled against the chill, fresh air of the autumnal evening. It's a nice, shiny evening,' said he sheepishly, after they were out in the high road. 'Very,' answered a soft voice. 'I hope I don't crowd you ? he hazard ed. Ob. not in the least !' responded bis . - -t companion. And then following ai appalling si 'Bat say yes or no I' pleaded Peter. ' Wijl you be my wife, Miss Field ? And the word which floated upon Fe ter'a 'ears, from behind the veils and wraps which he wasnowvalorously hug- ing close up to him, was 'Yes !' 'I never was so happy in all my life I' said Peter, rapturously. 'Nor I,' Whispered the voice behind the veil. .' ' ; ' And then Peter took courage to kiss her, and then Red Robin 6hied at a tree stump, and then all too soon, appeared 'Square Field's square red house behind the apple-trees. And Peter helped his fiance out as tenderly as if she were a bar of gold and he a miser. Up dashed Mr. Hiram Jellifcr's varnished side-box road wagon, and, turning around, Peter saw springing from it Jessie Field. Was it witchcraft? Nothing of the sort ; for there, close to him, smilling and blushing in the moonlight, with her veil thrown aside, was Miss Betsey who had accepted him. -Pete Peckrgave a convulsive gasp for breath. What was he to do ? Should he tell Miss Betsey he had made a mis takethat he had taken her for her niece ? or should he But at that instant he caught a fleet ing glimpse of Jenifer's, and it was like a revelation to him. .'Hang fc&ll V groaned Peter to him self ; 'that other fellow has been ahead of iue 1 And I don't care a copper cent she's only a feather headed little co quet, after all, and Miss Betsey is worth two of her, and I ain't uo very young myself, and there never was a Peck that didn't stick by a thing when once he said it.' So, taking Miss Betsey's arm tenderly under his own, he proceeded valiantly into the house to ask the 'Square's con sent and blessing. As for Jessie she lingo fed long under the trees in the moonlight, talking with Mr. Jellifer : and when at the last she came up stairs to tho room which aunt and niece shared together, she looked earnestly at her componion. "Aunt Bess,' said she, 'what is tho matter ? Why do you look so happy?'- Because Mr. Peek has asked me to marry him,' replied Aunt Bess, softly, 'and I have answered 'yes.' Well , if that isn't strangel' cried Jes sie, squeezing and kissing her still youthful aunt. 'And I have engaged my self to Hiram Jellifer. Oh, Aunt Bess, what a sweet, bright, happy world this is!' . '. '.' 'it is it is!' answered Aunt Bess! and then strange to say, ihey both cried. Granny-Peck waa setting up by her candle and fire, when at last Peter came home. ....'.Well, Peter,' said she 'what luck?' 'It's all right, granny,' said Peter, 'I've asked her and she has consented, and I'm to bring her hero in three months!' Granny Peck looked doubtfully around. 'Well,' said she, 'I'm glad you've suc ceeded, Peter. But I'm a little afeared all these homespun things won't be fine enough for Miss Jessie FMd.' , 'Jessie!' echoed Peter, with an excel lent imitation of surprise. 'It ain't Jes sie at all. Jessie is going to marry the Jellifer fellow. It's Miss Bessie Field, the 'Squire's sister, as I've proposed to. Well, I never!' said Granny Peck. How could I have been so mistook?'
