It's mighty hard, so it is " replied
handsome Morris, "that married people

wouldn't be the way with us. Sure, it's

"Morris, Morris we've quarrelled

thinking, a bit of a breeze, makes life all

to Mary Grey ! oh, Morris ?"
The longT)lack lashes of Norah Cla-f
ry's bright brown eyes almost touched
licr low, but delicately penciled brows, as
he looked archly up at her lover; her
i lip curled with a half-play ful, half mali-.
cj'ous smile ; but the glance was soon
withdrawn, and the maiden's cheek glow
with a deep and eloquent blush, when
the young man passed his arm round her
.waist, and pushing the lusterirxg curls
fiytm -her forehead, gazed upon her with
.fc loving but mournful look.
' "Leave joking now, Norry ; God only
knows how i I love you," he safd in a
voice deep and broken by emotiori: "I'm
y'er equal, as far as money goes, nd no
young farmer can tell a better stock to
Lis share than mine; yet I don't pretend
to deserve you, for all that ; only, I can't

"Stop, jMisterMor'ris,' exclaimed No-Tab-
laying her hand upon his ihouth, so
: asU'fTectually to prevent a sound escaping:
"it's my mother ye' re talking of, and it
would be : ill-blood, as well as ill-bred, to
hear a word said against an own parent.
Is that the pattern of ye' re manners, sir,
or did ye ever hear me turn my tongue
against one belonging to you ?"
"I ax ye'r pardon, my own Norah,",he
replied meekly, as in duly bound ; "for
the sake of the Tamb wo spare the sheep.
Whjf not ?- and I'm not going to gainsay
b:ity'er mother"; .
"The least said's the-soonest mended?"

"Good even, Morris, and God bless ye :
they'll be after missing iae within, and it's

"Norah 'bove all the girls at wake or

grown together, and since ye were the

When they re-entered the fresh-boiled

were poured out into a large wicker dish,
and on the top of the pile rested a plajc of

endeavored to rescue from the fire the his

Cla,ry lifting her up somewhat after the
fasHiou of an eagle raising a golden wren
with its clawr fairly put her out of the

hostilities. Mrs. Clary stormed and
stamped; and Mr. Clajy persisted in a

the glowing cheek of Norah Clary, for
her "wise thought" had prospered, and she
was hastening to the trystingi-tree, where,
"by chance," either mornind" or evening, !.
she generally met Morns Donovan. I
don't know how it is, biit the moment that
