My slav id New York bad boen prolong ed far beyond "my ortemal inienlion when 1 vuiicd Umi city, and I was" pining to return to my native village, and to the arm cf my dearest Julia, whom I hoped toon to make my bride. I had drank deep of the cup of huitow during my absence from her, and I looked forwnrd wiih glowing anticipations to ilia liiae when we abould meet to pan no more. At length my business took a favorable turn. 1 acre was no longer anything to detain me in New York, and I made has preparations for a departure to my na tive village. It was the eraoing before I designed to set out, that I wrote two hasty letters to prepare my friends for my recep tion. The first of ihesc cpwile3 was to Julia. It ran thus : DcAiiKdY (Jiri. : I shall leave New York in the three o'clock train . tp-morrow afternoon, la an hpnr from that time I shall be with you. 1 never knew how I loved you until my heart was tried by the lest of absence ; now I feel how devotedly how trHily, 1 uin your own. Ob ! what joy it will be to meet with you once more !--That will be the happiest moment of my life, except when 1 enn, for the first time, call you my bride. Yours, till death, FREDERICK. i tie second letter was addressed to an old uiiiid ol my acquaintance, who had been like a bister to mo, and to whom 1 was indebted lor many little acts of kind ness. Mv Dkak Friend: I write this in haste to utlorm you t hat 1 shall probably visit you some time lo-morrow evening. You see I don't want lo laid you unprepared. And I want you to ireat me well, too, even if I don't call on you the first oS any. Don't tl;mk my affection for you has in -the least diminished, bat-you must know my affec tion for another has increased, and Strong as aio your claims upon me, hers are some what stronger. Now don't be jealous ; for after I am married, I shall be as true a friend to you as ever. Sincerely yours, Feedulick. Having fimshed both of lb Jetterv 1 had been written, Tearing that they would be loo late for the mail. Superscribing them in a hurried hand, I sent them to the post office, where they arrived just in lime At ihrec o'clock on the following day, 1 was nf the depot, and in the cars. I was too impatient for steam itself. I even be licve the telegraph could'nt have transpor ted me to (be arms of my Julia soon enough I to satisfy my impatience. I thought the i curs moved slower than a mule, and thought ul one lime of getting out to run along ahead ol them. However, slow as I thought I was trav elling, I arrived in good time in my native village. I did not stop to shake hands with a single soul, but hurried to meet my Julia. I arrived at her father's house. 1 exacted to see her face at the window looking out for me, but it was not visible. However, I reflected that, like all women, or ,rom Dnma a curiam. l ran up to uie door, ana entered witnoui knocking. 1 opened my urms expecttnp Ju!m to jump into them, and supposed of course she would, but I shut them up ngatn quick enough, when I saw the old lady ap nrouchinR, not her daughter. 'Wher's Julia?" I cried. 'Oh, she's gone" "Gone I"1 'Yes' ' For heaven's sake," I gasped, "tell me where ?" '1 was going to, but you interrupted me,:i said the old lady crustily. "She has gone lo spend a few days with her cousins." I was thunderstruck. I conscientiously believe that at that moment I was as white as a piece of parchment. M any rate, I could swear before any court that I felt very taint and sick. "When did she go ?" I faltered. "About two hours ago." "Two hours ago ! What I didjilt she re ceivt rojneuer 1 ' 1 was terribly excited. I felt that my eternal happiness depended upon the wo roan'i answer. If Julia had jone eff to sea hex cousins when she knew 1 was com ing that I would be there that night I felt that H would break my heart "Yea, I believe so," drawled the old lady. I heard her say something about getting a note from jou thai he expected you to, call here to-night." i was enough- Mj heart was a heap of ruin!

Tjie first I heaid from myself, I waa approgiS ing the door of my friend, the old jsajd, and she was running out to meet me This probably brought me lo rnyn senses. : I was past being surprised at anthio that might happen, else I shouuLhave 4 thought it a little strange that t4iey threw htwlf into my rms, aiitl, offered we her hps to kiss. As it wus, feeling the need of sympath j", I embraced her warmly, exclaim ing. "Dear Lucy, you are the only true friend I've got." i "Oh! I hope not," she replied. -But I am glad you ikiok I am a uue friend to you, fori am." "And you will always be 1" "Always Frederick t Oh ! and wc shall be so happV !" 'What does she mean?rt thought I. "We shall be so happy, dear Frederick !" hc repealed ; ut know we shall The truth in, my dear, I have loved you long in se cret hoperessly ; but after receiving such a dear, affectionate letter from you " "What !" I cried, ataring at her in won der. "Why, after receiving such a denr good letter," said Lucy, "I tun bo happy that I must lellyou all my hart.

I laughed over it and cried over it ; and if I have read it once, I ha Ve rend it fifty timefl." Here she took my letter from her bosom. "Then it seems," she continued, so hap py that I was fairly provoked with hef -it seems that absence taught you how much you love me."

At ihat mo ment my conscience hit ine a severe cut, and made me smart. How 1 cursed my carelessness which had been the cause of so much mischief. I made a lurried apol ogy, but I didn't stop to see if Lucy faul ted, or to have the pleasure of holding a smelling bottle to her nose La case sho should sink into that interesting stale. I thought of Julia 1 (lew to make an explanation. It was three .uile to her aunt's house, hut 1 was there in a irifle over three minutes.
