The two old men were sitting upon wooden Beata, which were placed on either side of the rustic porch, twat formed s kind of arbor entrants to (he front door of the dwelling. The speaker was a spare, little man, with dark hair, thinly sprinkled with gray. He wore a swallow -tail coat, adorned with bre-buttons; corduroy breeches, fastened at the knee; thick, blue, 'revved stockings encased his legs, and s pair of low shoes covered his feet. His visage had s placid expression, as he glanced first et the well -kept garden, with its rows of potatoes and other vegetables; then out to thelittle paddock adjoining, where two cows were grazing; and next . over the wide, undulating meadow land beyond, his eyes resting finally on the far distant hills.

"When two more days have passed, you will be my wife ! The young man looked down lovingly into the shy, dark oyes raised to his, and clalped the hand that rested on Iris ern. "I am so glad, Robert, that 1 shall not have to leave my home," she said, after a pause; "for I was born here, and here my mother died. It wan very kind of father to propose that 'we ehonld live with hire. Now you can keep all the money in the bank that you have been saving so long to buy furniture with, and if we are careful we shall soon add some wore to it." -Your father is very good, Jennie; His countenance lacked that acute, in- tellectual expression which is so often stamped upon the riw►ge of $ middle- aged "town -than." His eyes were thoughtful, but gentle; his whole hear- ing spoke of innate goodness. The few wriuklea, which had gathered on the white, placid brow, had been gradually traced there by time's relentless fineera, and not suddenly cut by a keen, sharp ae•rrow. He sun,ked silently for a few moments, and then replied to his friend's remark: "Yon'r't • ' little spot. Be.; _ ethinkin un, Hayes. You know my Jennie's agoin' to be married to Robert Meadows.

"We're going to have company this afternoon," resumed Jennie, after a pause, in a- c• nciliatory toue; "and as they are very fine people, I think you'd better have your pipe in the kitchen, father. You would not enjoy yourself with us." "Very well, my dear," he answered, quietly. He put his alippered feet on the fender, and gazed over his gold -rim- med spectacles into the .blazing tire. "I've been a -thinking, my .dear," he re- sumed, quietly, after a pause, "that there's a little error in that deed of gift." "An error T' repeated Jennie, as she dropped her work, and looked up with a scared, white face. "Yes; I'm sure there's an error. It ,wouldn't be pleasant for you, if the pro- f party was to be thrown into chancery, after Tut gene, would it T' "Olt, father'" • "Well, fetch the deed ;down to same; • I'll look it over and set all right."
