Grace Kingsley was the narne of the favored landlady writing to nie, and the Jotter stated that her house was entirely private, having no other boarders what- ever.

She invit- ed me into the1 ai'lor in a manner so tourteon, and yet so modest, that l had fallen desperately in love with her before I could cross the threshold. I enjoyed. a very pleasant chat with Airs. Kingsley. During; the conversa- tion she info, med me that her late hus `band had been in a very fair way of business and at lits death, which occur- red a year previous, had left her in pretty comfortable circumstances. They had but one el }lel; and this item of mortality I was graciously permitted to look tenon, as it `lay peacefully slum- bering in its cradle. I also learned that the lady was living in the house quite Moue, and degred a .tale boarder more AS a' protection than its a source of rev- enue. In conclusion, the lady looked so pretty (she was quite young, not. more than two, or three and twenty), and the board so moderate, her com- pauionsliip so inviting, and she seemed so to trust in elle, and looked upon me so favorably, that I would have been a heathen, stead te,the charms of the sex, if I had. not engaged bowrd on the spot. The next day I had my trunk rerllov- , ed to my new boarding place, and per- manently established myself there. Be-. feta Leavings ley former boarding-house a letter was 4003.('tedmelay the postman, but I did not find time to, examine it until I was comfortably enscon ea �n the parlor of Mrs. Ki'ngsley's cosy house. Opening the letter I discovered e ied it to be from a wealthy uncle of mine, resid- ing in Vermont, who regularly sent me a letter every year, but whom I had never seen. His epistles were always short and to the point, generally an account cif the weather in leis locality, and some good advicte to me to take care of my money, as. I .light he bur- dened with it before I was much. older. I was always very glad to get thisad. vice from hill, as I regarded it as an intimation that I was to inherit his wealth on his decease. One day, however, about a year previ- ous, I received a letter from him which contained another topio besides those I have mentioned. My uncle made some pressing inquiries regarding my matri- monial prospects, and stated that if I was not already harried, I should im- mediately eater into the wedded state, and let hint know it or he never would be an uncle of mine. Now, as my uncle lived in Vermont, and 1 in Philadelphia, I never antici- pated the old :man would pay me a vis- it and discover the falsehood, I wrote and informed him that I was not only married. but the father of a bouncing baby. This intelligence. so pleased my uncle that he sent a gold goblet and a silver pap-sl•oon to .be presented to my child. I first sat down and wrote a very romantic letter to my uncle. thank.thank- ing him for the present, and then went to the nearest, jewelry store and turned both the goblet and spoon into cash, which I pocketed. I'received no further letters from my uncle until the one I read in Mrs. Kingsley's parlor. The postscript not only astonished, but absolutely fright- ened me. It read as follows : "P.S..I have never Visited Philadel- phia, so I have decided to do so at once, and get a look at your wife and child. You may expect me about the. tenth of the month." " Good gracious l My uncle is com- ing to visit me," I exclaimed, " and it is past the tenth of the month nowt I don't know at what moment he may pop in. What am 'I to do fora wife and child 2" At that moment there :came a terri- ble pill at the door -bell, as .if the: man who pulled it imagined that he owned the house, and could make as much noise as he pleased. A sickening sen- sation took possession of me, for I had a misgiving that it was my a tele. Now as good fortune would have it, 'Mrs. Kingsley had gone out to a neigh- boring store for a few moments, and had. requested me to have an eye on her child while she was gone, so that it wouldn't fall otit of the cradle and hurt itself. As ;I glanced at the cradle, and thought of my uncle at the door, a bright idea entered my mind. I deter - 'ruined, in case the visitor was my un- cle, to claim the youthful occupant as any own. The visitor proved to be my uncle. 1 ,knew him by the picture of him run I had seen, and he likewise knew me by my photograph. Atter a mutual reco ni- •trou and handshaking, I ushered honored relative into the parlor and itt trodilcecd hien to • my newly -found' off- spring. • There, uncle," said I,." is the first pledge of my married life.

Why, I krlew it was a girl the moment I looked at it, But, Charley," he said, again ' ddressiug tee, "'what did you do with the goblet and pap -spoon I sent the little oiie ?" " Olr, they are perfectly safe, I assure you," I replied. " I have taken good care of thorn." " Yes ; but where in the deuce are they ? I would. like very much to have another look at them." "" Weil, J_ have deposited them in a bask for safe keeping ;; but I can readi- ly produce them—that is, in the course of it week's time." Ile told me to do .so,he wanted to see' them ; and then I got out of the room for fear he might ask me some. more perplexing questions. A short time afterwards fte e a i ds Mrs, Kings- ley I ings - ley came tome in an adjoining room, and I saw immediately that something very humorous must have happened, for the corners of her lips were breaking into smiles. "Do you know, sir, ;,nto what an awkward predicament you havegot me?" she inquired, as she took a seat on the lounge by my side. " Explain yourself," I said. " Why, your uncle came to nee a short time ago, and asked to see my marriage certificate, and said ho had some money to settle on ine immediate- ly, but wanted to be sure that all was right, first." "Did you expose me ?" I inquired, anxiously. " No, sir, I did not ; for I never enter into a deceptiou or anything else by halves." I was so elated that I could not with- stand. the temptation of embracing her. This did not make her angry, for she nestled her head cosily on my shoulder, and smiled serenely. What answer did you make him ?" I asked. She hesitated a moment, and then said : i promised to produce the marriage certificate." But we haven't got any," I then remarked. She indulged in a quiet little laugh to herself, but said nothing. " Mrs. Kingsley—nay, my dear ma- dam—no, I will call you my darling— we are both in a serape, and there is but one way to get out of it. We must go and get married immediately. Will you be my wife ?" " I shall be delighted," sle answered frankly, and seizing both my hands, said she was ready for a frolic of any kind. We lost no time, I assure you. I don't think Mrs. Kingsley ever got into her Sunday clothes in such a hurry in her life before, while T spoiled two pairs. of suspenders in my frantic endeavors to be " on time." We q lite astonished the parson by our haste, and at the conclusion of the ceremony 1 would have forgotten to give hili the usual fee if he had not reminded me of it. We had secured the coveted marriage certi- ficate, signed and sezled, and were now safely out of the difficulties, as we thought. We had omitted one precau- tion, as we presented the certi.ficate•to my uncle. It was all right with the exception of the modern date. modern date. " 'Why, how is this ?" said my undle, gazing at the document through his specks. " I thought you were married over a year ago." So we were, uncle," I answered very solemnly, How coup:cs it then, that the certi- ficate is dated to -day ?" he asked, in a voice of thunder. We were struck speechless, both my wife and I, (, Come card m 1 (, y retro, I see thire has been some trickery here. Own up to it, or 1'11 never forgive you." I did own up to it, and told Ilim the whole story. I expected it would make hint angry, but it didn't ; for he laugh- ed heartily, and said I was a clever ras- cal, tante he was proud of ine. " But how about the gold goblet and pap spoon? You haven't been drawing the wool over my eyes about them, too, have you, eh I told the truth about the goblet a g nd pap -spoon. " Why, youre a regular trickster," said my uncle, " believe you would deCeivc Satan Himself, 73tit 1 won't* get angry with you, for I used to platy the same games when young."
