As to the doctor himself! be had liked her amazingly, and carried _away of her just as favorable an impression. He liked her modest, seosible demeanor; he trupted her dear, intelligent face. - Miss Keturah demanded all particulars, when he 'got twine: "Just imagine it 1" she exclaimed, af- ter listening to him, greatly scandalized. "Such-111ra! a regular consultation just as if it had been Dr. Murdoch or Der. Thonias It was quitebeneath yeti; John. Did she seerie as ifebe knew any- thing ?" ' "Yes, she appeared toknow as much as Most young medical men "The idea! And what sort of a loOk- ing person is she, John?" Keturah, 1aan't tell you. Rather good looking,, I think. But you know I don't profess to bea judge." "I dare say you oti1 'tell whether she wears her hair as a woman ought or short like yours. You never do notice anything of that kind." - Dr. Benedict smiled. "Oh, not short, certainly." - "And what color is it?' -"Color ? Oh, rather a dark, pretty aubarn.", With the autumn frosts the fever abated. In some households reigned glad hearts, as those who had been stricken down came back to life and health ; in others were sadness and. silence and places empty for evermore. But nature and man wrooght on, pausing not for .joy or sorrow, the harvests Were gathered ; children played among the fallen leaireir ; hearts were stirred by love, hope, ambi- tion, as they had been from the begin- ning. Theo the snow came; the same snow that spreads its mantle over new made graves, that tailed the boys out to coast, that tilled the air with the merry sound ofsleigh bells. Grandmainrna had been wishing for a' week to pu- a visit to her 'eldest daugh- ter Mrs. Malge ; but the roads *ere so rough that she shrank from the under, taking: Now, however the snow had smoothed her way both literally and fig- uratively. Her wraps were brought out and hung around. the fire ; the camlet cloak, the big old-fashioned marten muff and tippet, the moccasins and quilted mittens. James begged. hard. to be her esCort ;" he was quite well now, he urged, had been for some time,though still rath- er weak, and the fresh air would do him good. With some misgiirings his mother gave consent and. wrapped him up as for an Arctic expedition. Grandma was made into a moving bundle of enormous size, the little foot stove was filled with coals,and the pair ;started on their way in the open sleigh. The crisp air, the spark- ling Stow, the bine shadows and. bluer sky were all delicious to" the liberated boy. Only as he passed the churchyard and saw the white unbroken snow stretch ing over hill and hollow, a strange awe- struck feeling came over him. What if he were lying there now, and all this pleasant world. were going on without him 1 Mrs. Dodge,who heardthe-sleighbells, was ready at the door step to meet her visitors. A troop of children accompan- ied hermarshalled bpi CelestiaAthe eld- est daughter—a fair, blue-eyed girl of twenty. , "I'm so glad to see you, mother!" said. the bustling matron, assisting the old lady to alight. It was strange, but something seemed to say to me that per- haps you might be over to -day, seeing it is BD fine I said to Oelesehy, as I rolled out the crust for my chicken pie, 'now if your grandma is not here to help us to eat this I shall be real disappointed. And. James, I am rejoiced thatyou are• able to be ont ; you look remarkably well, considering. There, leave the horse to the man and come straight in and warm yourselves," The children surroundea the old lady, and, formed a guard of honor to escort her te the red. rocking chair by the fire. "What you got in your poeket, grand- ma ?" asked little Lein, atvare that she generally carried a supply of rook candy, and too artless todisguise his longing. "Bless his little heart," exclaimed the old lady. "Look for yourself deary,and see what you can find. But a, catastrophe was revealed. The lid of grandma's snuff box had come off, and all the delicate straw colored crys- tals were sprinkled with the irritating powder. Little Lern in the bitterness of his disappointment; began 4 prolonged howl. Celestia cut ib short by suggest- ing that the candy might he washed ; whereupon all the children trooped into the kitchen to assist at the ablution." — • I • Celestia, who flashed like the dawn in return. Later, when the boys and and awe children were, got rid of again, Ca' lestii, eabileited her patediwork quiltee, bright witli pink or Turkey red; her 'piles of una rgitrinents ruffled and stitched by her own hands; • and. manifold lother pre arstions for the, change awaiting • • - her. er peplos going to tale(' us over to Bo ton, said Mrs. feDedge, '"the firai day he can spare the'tem4,we shall choose out her teaspoons, and china, and parlor knickknacks. and all that. And here's "It's so lucky you came to -day, moth- er," said. Mrs. Dodge in a low, confiden- tial tone, glad. to be rid of them. I should have drove over to you, in a day or two had you not come. You know that Squire Morrison's only son, Cyrus, and Celestia are engaged. Well they want the wed- ding to be next month." . • "Do tell!" exclaimed grandma, lifting her hands. "It seems but yesterday thatshe was a little child !" "She is full young. But Cyrus is do- ing well and feels as if he had the best right to her now. That's the wak mother. I suppoee you had the same to go through in your day." • "Yes," said the old lady, "we bring our children up, and care for them, and we have our hearts set upon them; and by and by somebody comes along that is nothing to us, and never 'did us or them a hand's turn, and we are left alone clean out of mind. It's not a happy thing, Lucy Ann ; but dear me, it's natural, I suppose: We were all the same,and it's for the best after all. We can't always be here to look to our ehildren, and it's well they shoulc't make other friends to care for them when we're gone. The great point is to get the right sort of com- panion. You and Maria were both won- derfully lucky, Lucy; there are not many such men as your husband and. James Harebell," "Well, so far as that goes I think Cal- estia has made a good choice in Cyrus, mother. And so we are to have the wedding in this house next month; and I was thinking perhaps Maria would coma Over and help me with thaprepara- tions.i' • "Oh, she'll come if she can ; never fear," answered grandma. The children burst in on them, James marshalling his cousin Celestia. The boy was very fond of her; she was five or six years his senior, yet he cher- ished hopes (boy fashion) of winning her forhis sweetheart, and. for his wife after- ward, - Celestia looked so charming to -day, and smiled so kindly oit hint, that he Was in the seventh heaven. Grandmania glanced significantly at 4 her wedding dress to get ' besides and I t know what a11. We shall have our Is full, I guess." ' 1 the midst of these Plannings a eud- thonght struck the 7'bridtadeet, eadma," she asked, "del yousee inn& r. Benedict now ?" el • 1- "Why, no, nhild, not very much. He has been quite attentive oiling to. see how Jim got along; ,but that's all. 'Why do ou ask V I eleschy has a fancy—he calla here now and then, you know, .mother—that he has a very good opinion of your little doctor—Miss Bunn,' put in Mrs. Dodge. "10h, fie 1.;" • said grandma. "Whit a; notion Celeschy thinks other peciple must be like herself—have their miuda filled with swe-ethearts. Don't you be- lieve a word of it, Lief Kum" . Celestia blushed and laughed. She had certainly noticed that Dr. Benedict was fond of talking of Mary Bunn.: ' The pleasant day over, grendmarnma and James started for home after an early, tea, the latter buried in, reminiscenees of the 'ookl-bYe kiss he had snatched from his cousin Oelestia. • ernes," spoke grandma, suddenly, "yo .are gettingto be a o'big boy,and ought to be fit{ to be trusted with a seeret."
