THE THEEE ClIOSTS-
- BT 1. w. Btwgta."
Roand a eheorful wuod fire. In a quaint, old
country bouaa. three tiatcre ant talking ia the
twilight. The bright blare illumined the walla,
on which a few portrait were banging, and eaat
grotottjue altadowa from tlie old faahinned furni
ture. The ruddy glow lighted op too the three
lovely facet of the aistera, who were enjoying it
ohecrfulneae. '
Very charming wore Ihey all, Cut very differ
ent in their Itmutv.
Margaret, the elder he who' aite lo the right
of the fire, with head thrown partly back, while
ber hand are erutaed upon her knee, ia about
twenty two. She it ttll, atately, and proudly
beautiful, tviphie, "pretty Sophie," tit nppo
ite on a nofa, with the head of little Horn, who
ia reclining oa her lap. . ,, '
Liule Itoaa, tlie youngest, with neither Mar
garet's queenly grace, nor Sophy's brilliant
beauty, waa what ladiea call "a darling" that
ia, the waa toveablo, charming, and innocent.
In foot aha waa treat, and weet ae a hawthorn
bloaausa.
Tbeae throe young girlt wore tingularly aittia-
lei.
. They resided in the old homestead where we
have found them, alone, except tor tbe servants
attended them, lather and mother acre both
dead within afow years, and as there way no re
lation to supply, even in a measure, theii placet,
the orphan tutors clave; yet more cjotely to each
other and. continued to live in their uWlat home
liko bird, who nolle together in the old nest
when the parent birds have hift tl eta.
Thorna-i, an old and fuithfnl ataa servant, and
Kitty Cork, (a persoa aolwliliatnndiiig her juve
nile name, of middle age and tried fidelity) were
their only domeatice hut they sufficed, p.r their
Inhnr were performed tiTHfty spirit of love and
willingneaa, ,
Such was the little lioiisehuld of the tutor
and there they wore sell led fur life. For, lie it
known to yoa. oh. incredulous render, that each
of the lair sitterliuod waa under a solemn vow uf
tislihacy. . .
When their futher died and left them all alone
in the world, rhey took each othera hand and
solemnly promised never to desert eaoh other,
but, to live and die together. -
Throe year bad pawed tinoe that time, and
though their lovlineaa attracted suiters even to
ilmir.iiuict, lonely h.nne, nt whisper had ever
been breathed by any of the sisters of a wish to
break that vow. .
On tlie contrary, they often applauded tlinlr
kLuIuib in devising it, and swore foaliy to ita
new. dome loch eonvertation bad taken place en
the very evening I have choaeu to Introduce lli.nu
hi my readers. Indeed ihey were more than
uaually vehemnnt iu their denunciationa of any
trenail i lo their code. Margaret's eyes had
flvhed indignantly at lha vary thought of such
treachery Sophy bad painted must tnuuliipgly
the lonely slate of the other two should one be
base enough lo desert and little lion had de
clared. .-'"
"That even if Prince Charming himelf .bwilj
cm flying into the room in a golden ehariot,
and were to fall at her feel, all crowned with
diamond, she would not waver lh least mite
but should just say ve.-y aoldly, 'Ume, l'nnre
Charming, yoo can I have me. I
hare prumiaed
my sitters never to marry."
iilargairet aud Bopine laughed at little Kote s
tally, and the greatest unanimity of opinion ap
peared hi prevail, - -
While they sat over the lira diaousing this
suljecl, Kilty Cork entered with a basket ol ehea
auta, saying.
"If jo pleaae.lMliliea.Thnmasbldsme give yee'
