FROM IX)VE AFTER MAHRIAUE
CAKOIIMg Lt( UtsTZ. ,
A pleasant IUt la group was gathered
round Uncle Ned's domestic hearth. He
s?il on one aide of the 6re-place, opposii
Aunt Mary, who, with her book in her
hand, watched the children seated at the
ta,le. snie reading, others sewing, all oc
cupied, but one, a child 'or larger growth,'
a young latlv, who, being a guest .of the
family ? waa'sufl'ered to indulge in the pleas
ure of idlHiers without reproof.
-Ol 1 love a rainy eveting,"-said little
Ann, looking up from her book, and meet
ing her mother's smiling glancr, - it is so
nice to sit oy a gooa mn ra m.i. iom

" And 1 love a rainy eveuing, too," cried
George, a boy of about twelve. "Lean

at home, and I dont keep rambling out after
the bright moon and stars. ; - My heart feelf
warmer, and,! really believe I love every
body lietter than I do when the weather is
fair." . " - ... : , ,
Uncle Ned smiled, awTgave the boy an
approving pat on the shoulder. Every one
smiled but the young lady, who with a Ian
guid, discontented air, now played with a
pair of scissors, now turned over the leaves
of a book, then, with an ill supprestied j ffVi n,
leaned idlyon her elbow, and looked into
the fire. , . .

" Yes ;" continued Uncle Ned, " a rainy

within its legitimate channel ; never over
flowing into boisterous mirth or unmeaning

mother, and she a widow. Mrs. Carlton,

I had
moreover, a shrewd suspicion that
the
daughter who thought it a sufficient excuse
for shameful personal neglect, that there
was no one present but hee mother, would,
as a wife, be equally regardless of a hus
band's presence,. While I pursued there
reflections, my feet involuntarily drew
nearer and more -near to the light, which
had beeu lhe loadstone of my opening man

moment, and, without a single reproach,

miliarity. The hour 1 had wasted with
Theresa seemed a kind of mesmeric slum
ber, a blank in my existence, orat leajt, a
feverish dream. 'What do you think', fa
rainy evening, Mary f asked L before 1
left her. t
"l love it of all things,' replied she, with
animation. There is something so home
drawing, so heart-knitting, in its influence.
The dependencies which bind us to the
world -seem .withdrawn; and, returning
within ourselves, we learn more of the deep
mysteries of our own being.
"Mary's soul beamed from her eye as it
turned, with a transient obliquity, towards
heave o. She paused, as if fearful of un
sealing the fountains of her heart. I said
that Mrs Carlton was an invalid, and con

KISSING
Our readers shail have the benefit of a
good story that we lately heard. Travel- , '
ling into a town about dusk, 3Ir K. had oc
casion to call at the mansion of an esteem- .
ed friend who had among other worldly
possessions, two or three line daughters.
He had scarcely knocked at the door when
it was opened by one of. these bloommg -maideus,
who quick as th - j-bt, threw her
arms around his neck, uud tie fore he had
time to say 'Oh, don'c f pressed her warm
delicate lips to his and gave hint as sweet aT1-?-- - , .
kiss as ever swain deserved. Ja utter 'a- & 7.
tonisnmeni, me wonny gf oiieman was en- .
tne damse l exclaimed, 'Ua cercv mere v I
Mr K. is tnis, you ! r I thought cerlaiiJy it
was my brotfier ilenry. ,
' lshaw !' said 0ie gentleman to larruslf,
you dcm'ijhiuk -any audi thing'. - But tak- ;
ing her hand ha said in a forgivipg tote,
there is oo barm ', don't give yourself any .
iiieasTuess, though you ought to be a Utile'"
more eareful.' ... .
After this reproof,he was ushered iuto
the parlor by the maiden who as she came
to the light, could noJconcesl the deep '
blush that glowed apon her cheek, while
the boquet that was pinned upon iter bosom
atiook like a garden in an earthquake. And
when he rose to de pa rMtterl upon- her to
wait upon him to the door; and i. may be
added that they held discourse together for
several minutes on w hat ubject it is not
for us to say.
As the warm hearted youth plodded
homeward be argued witn himself iu this
wise:
"Miss J. knew it was I that knocked at
the door or how did she recognize me be- ..
lore I'spoke f -And is. -it possible that her
brother would knock be I ore entering r . .
Shethusl.be ; desperately in pahaw I
Why il she loves a brother at that rate,
how must she love a husband T for 1 never
felt such a kiss in my ilife.'
1 hiee weeks alter the accident above de
scribed, Mr K. was married lu Mis J.
Now don't ask us if V i-s K ever confess
ed that her kissing wai not a uustake, for -positively
we shan't -teli.
