Davis,' the posttnietress, were conferring to- gether.in mysterious whispers is they leaned ever their mutual, back yard fence. Sala Mre. Deacon Lewitt. " Beebe' is believin', or dee I shoulct . say, jest as you do, that it couldn't be true, hat I jest stepped into Miss Bad- ger's to see what she'd charged to fix over my black alpace—I wa'n't in any hurry for the alpaca, but I kind of got. the idea that there was somethin in the win& and I thought mebbe I could find out what it wag there—and there I saw it with ray own eyes, all over pleatin" and ruftlin's that it seemed -a burnin' shame to cutup good thick silk into, and fixed lap in the back so't I oonldn't have the heart to set &ten on it. And Miss Badger, for all shete eo olose-mouthed, she up and told me who it belonged to, and says I, 'You don't say so! and says she, t Yes, I do,' and then she pursed her lips up kind of provokinn as if she coital tell a great deal more if she bad a mind to. But I've got wit enough to put two and two together, if folks is closeenonthed, and says I, right out—for there ain't nothin' sly about me—says I, 'Then Cordilly Brewster is a goin' to get married. And Miss Badger she never denied it." 34 Well, it does beat all," said Mrs. Dif.YiS. " This his been a singlar year, what, With the comet and the terrible happenin's'all rotted, and nuw Cordilly Brewster settin' up to have a green silk dress, when she hasn't worn anything but bombazine and alpaca and her one old black silk for reigh upon tweutyyears. Ira enough to upset anybody's ideas altogether, and make 'em - think the world's, comin" to an end. Though I can't say Unit such extravagance looks much like the mtlieninite." _ Mrs. Deacon Lewis shook her head, in solemn censure. A pod black silk would have been ratith more suitable and becomin' to a woman most forty years old, to say nothin' of the wear end the makin" over, and for a minister' wife—" "You don't say that she's going to marry the minister!" exclaimed Mrs. Davis. ! "Why,.I suppose so, of course. Who intuit be, if it Loft the minister 7" o i never saw any sig n of their keepin' 911a company. Parson G eley is too speritual to marry a wo an that crimps her front hair witlethot. slatepencils ; and she never put notie than three eggs into the custard -that she carried to the donation party. , I should think more likely 'twits somebody that she picked up when she was deven to Haverhill visitin', or John Parmenter that used to keep company with her when they was young, ad has kind o' been doin' it, off and on, ever since." . "Oh' she wouldn't have John Par- inenter, even it he had spunk enough to - ask her, which he hain't.- He is a good fellow, John is, but hell never set the world afire, and he's been 'rennin' down , hill terribly lately; has had to mortgage hia farm, they do say." " Cordilly's money would come in just right, then; but, as yo ee say, I don't suppose she would h ess‘llim. It's like- . ly that's what's made John turn out so poorly, her not havin.' him. But I can't really believe it's the minister. There's Sammy; let's ask him." Sammy GreeIy, the minister's young- est hopeful, who was engaged in " ehin- ming up" &neighboring telegraph pole, with the ambitious design of attaching his kite to the wire, descended Some- what reluctantly to the earth, and obeyed Mrs. Davie' beckoning linger. Sammy was a freckled urchin, with a tarned-up nose, the expression of which was contradicted by a pair of preter- naturally solercin and innocent -looking blue eyes. In spite of his eyes, Sammy was generally regarded as a "limb," and he and his three brothers, Moses, Hosea, and Joseph, Caused the old pro- verb concerning minister's eons to be often repeated with eoleran head -shak- ings by the towns-peepte. " Sammy is your father goin' to- be married ?". asked Mrs. Davis, with her hand affectionately placed on Sammy's shoulder. " The old gent? He couldn't remem- ber to. Nobody w, euld have him either. He's as bald' as a door knob, he asks a blessing anywhere along be- tween the meat and the pudding. And Joe and me weuld fiX her anyway." " Wouldn't you like to have him marry a, nice, kind lady like, Miss Cor - dilly Brewster ? She would teaCh you how to behave—" "Know good enough LIOW, and I'd wring her old parrot's neck I don't believe it anyhow, bet I'm going to find out." ! And off went Sammy, regardless of his ?kite, and beret breathlessly into his father's atudy. You ain't gain' te marry Miss Brew- ster and her old nree-n parrot that swears-, and have her al ways clearin' up and dustin' and losird your papers are ger ?" demanded Sionney. The minister turned from his sermon- ' writing, and regarded Sammy with mild amazement. Gradually his ex- pression changed to one of perplexity. He removed his spectacles from his eyes to the top of his head, and then he tapped his forehead with the tips of his fingers, as if to summon forth some straying recollection. "That must be the very thing that I was trying to remember! Wait a min- ute. I mast have set it down some- where." And Parson Greeley drew from one of the pigeon -holes of his desk some loose sheets of foolicap paper which had evi- dently been used as a diary. Several pages were devoted to memoranda; these the minister read aloud: “ Mon.—To confute the infidel ped - liter's argument by St. Paul, and— 'Mem.—To tell Deborah, mildly, but firmly, that so much saieratus is not conducive to health. "'Men.—To punish Joseph and Samuel foeunseemly conduct at prayer - time. " Mon.—To admonish Brother Bates (gently) that he is becorniiag unsound in doctrine. "'Men—To endeavor so far as lies in me to restore peace to the singing seats. 'Mem.—To endeavor to exercise such a, measure of wholesome restraint over Moses and Samuel that they May not become a cause a scandal to the neighborhood. it Meirt.—To devote a greater rocas- tire of attention to worldly matters, such as applying blacking to my boots? and brushing my raiment. " Mem.—To consider prayerfully whether the use of heir -dye ia incom- patible with thoprinoiples of the Chris' tienreligion or the duties of the Chris - teen ministry. , I "Meme—Tbat the singing Wats are in the bands of God, that .

I knew I witinot Mis- ;taken •, and I felt that I had leaniags from the Lord in that direction ; 'end yet, in the midst of manifold cares and distractions, it wholly slipped my mind, weak and erring mortal that rain. But it may not yet be too late.. And the minister seized his hat, giving it a hasty brash with his sleeve, and hiirrie'd to the door, turning, however, to lay his hand with unwonted tenderness upon his son's head, saying solemnly, "Sam- uel, I thank you forthis suggestion, and I would that I could perceive in you as lively signs of the workings of grace ae I do of wisdom end 4iscernraent beyond your years." 1 i Samuel, left alone, looked after his father with a most lugubrious face. a Forts feller to go and do it himself, that's the worst of it !

Mose and Hose and [Jo and I." All unconscious 44 What was in store for her, Miss Cordelia 'Brewster was engaged in inspecting and admiring her green silk dress, whinh had just been sent home from the dressmaker's. Miss Cordelia was . a plump little woman, with a pinkish bloom still lingering upon her cheeks, and no trace of Time's frosting upon her chestnut locks. Why she had never married was a mystery. For ten years after her father the vil- lage doctor, had died. leaving her a modest competencethe gossips had been on the lookout fiie sigus of matri- monial intentions on her part. When she had passed thirty, and was still Miss Cordelia, people gradually ceased to speculate about her. For some in- scrutable reason, they decided that Miss Cordelia meant to b an old maid to the end of the Cha,pte . It was observed that even John Parmenter, who had somewhat indefinitely "hung around" her for years, "kind it' dropped off ;" he no longer sat in the siuging seats, where Miss Cordelia still serenely kept her plaoe, despite the rivalry of young chor- isters ; so they were not so frequently thrown together, and he was seldbra seen to walk home with her from the we,ekly prayer -meeting; his old sorrel mare was very rarely seen fastened to the hitching -post before Miss Cordelia's door of a Sunday night; and only once or twice had he beeeeseen shyly to offer her a nose -gay ofdeouthernWeod and cinnamon pinks, which grew to great -perfection in his garden, and of. which, in her girlhood, MiES Cordelia had been very fond. Many other admirers had iss Cor- delia, but she had' tarried a col4l shoul- der upon all, and Iseemed erfectly eontented to live on in her comfortable old house, with trim laex-bordertid flower beds in the front yard, and Mae bushes crowding in at the windows, with her handmaiden Tryphosa, who wee not, as her name suggested, a bloording and romantic young maiden, but an ancient and angular spinster, who belteved in signs and omens, and always " felt " coming events "in her holies" Try. phosa was how gazing at the Oeen silk with a 'melancholy expreseion or eounte- nance. " Green means forsaken;ithere ain't , no denyio' it. And slain), Wilson, that was married in gren; was it out a corpse in it before thel end of t e year; e' and Matildy Lyman, that was married in a white muslin sprigged witb green, and green bunnit Strings, she had a drunken husband that fell off the hay- mow, and dislecated his spinal column, and --everybody knew' her twin S wasn't bright; and—" , “ But I am not going to be mrried in it, you know, Tryphosa," said kliits Cordelia, turning a ?eaerry fade up to Miss Tryphosa's doleful, one. " Perhaps it if! only unlucky ae a weddipg dress. As for being forsaken, there doean't seem to be anybody left to foreake Me but you, and Fin net efraid that all the green dresses in the World could eciike yon do that." , ",There ain't no luck about green no- how," said Tryithosa. "11 'twas ' laydok, now, or a handsome brown—" • i "1 soppose I really eught to have had black," said Miss Cordelia, meditative- ly ; "but some way the spring coming on, with everything so fresh ang briglit, made me feel as I used to Icing SQ, and I've made believe to myself—I wouldn't own to it to anybody but y u, Tryphosa—bat I've made believe I as a girl again. And that's why 1 bad tis green silk." , "And that's Why you've been putt ng copies in your hair. Well, it beats; all what a difference there is in folks. ow spring puts me in mind of house cle n - in' and soap -bilin' and bitters, -L nd sakes! if there ain't Parson Greele a- comin' up the walk, and nothin' but the old cropple-crown for dinner, and all skin and bones it that, and he a-comin' in the yard this blessed minute-!" Miss Cordelia whisked the green silk out of sight, and smoothed her crimps,' demurely down, as she hastened, to greet her visitor. It happened that Mies Polly Watkins, who went about the village peddling a concoction known as Watkia's Unap- proachable Liniment, was so fortunate as to be passing just as the minister opened Miss Cordelia's front -yard gate, " There! \ I knew well enough that there wa'n't never so much -smoke with- out some fire. Miss Badger needn't think she could make me believe, that green gown with a train didn't mean soraething. So it's the minister. Well, men -folks is terrible B33 ort -sighted creturs. There is them in Westfield that would make him a good sensible wit"ss Polly was so unhappy as to go 1 i on for nearly a quarter of a. inile before she met any -body to whom she could tell her news, and then it was only Dr. Ramsay, jogging along behind his old white horse, and between' him and Miss Polly "there wa'n't," as she expressed it, " nO great likin', no more'n there was apt to be between two of a trade." But Still Dews Was new, and Miss Polly could not resist the temptation of an opportunity to share it. " Well, thiogado tern otit queer I" said the doctor to himeelf. meditatively flicking a fly off his old white horse as he jogged along again, "I wouldn't have thotight she would have bad any- body let alode tb. old parson. If I had thought-- .Why,i'm ten years younger'n he is, and a sight better *misted to please the fair sex. And that's a snug bit of property of Miiii,Cordilly's, and ehe's a wholesome -looking, good.tem. paned woman, to Bey *thing of being handwrite; whioh don't signify. I be - Hove I cull out out the person if I try. I always s.id I would die a bachelor; but it's a wise man that changes his mind;" And the doctor actually wlaipped bis handout of his accustomed jog into a lively tret, and everybody ran to the window, for the doctor in a hurry was a sight that the oldest ieliabitant had never seen. . In the roeantime Miss Polly had met Abner Phillips, one of the "back folks," who lived three miles from the village. But Abper could not have been more interested ii Miss Polly's news if he had liveeedunseill.tdoor to the possessor of the gr His homeward way led him past John Parmentet's house, and John was hoe- ing in his garden. " Wa'al now, Parson Greeley is goin' to do a pretty good thing for. himself, ain't her drawled Abner, after the usual comraerets and inquiries concern- ing crops had been exchanged. " He knows yehat side his bread is buttered on. Pareens generally does:" " Whitt is he going to do?" inquired John Parmenter. "You don't mean to say yo'i hain't heard? yiratel, I declare, you don't know what's goint‘on so well as back folks does; He's a-goin' to marry Miss Cordilly Brewster. He's turribie tejus, the old parson is, and she'll have to step around lively to fetch up them boys. But women -folk always does pet a heap by a minieter." I After Ajmer hadj gone, John Parmen- ter dropped his be, and stood wiping his forehead with his handkeraief with a bewildered look. "1 don't know why I shouldn't have expected kdie'd marry, but somehow I didn't, I aever thought of such a thing. I don't knOW why I_should feel so about it. If I hedn't the courage to ask her when I was young and prosperous, eure- ly I couldeet now. I always began to be a coward the minute I came in sight -of her. -I ?never felt so before any other woman; but then I never pared any- thing aboet any other. Anyway, I can't rest until:X find out whether it's,true or not. 'Cordelia can't object to telling an old friend: Madam Rumor rrdes this village, and she is very apt to be mis- taken:" So John set out to call on Miss Cor - della. As he passed the bed of cinna- mon pinkie he found that, although it was early[ in the season, three bad blossomed that very niorning, and he made thein into a little nosegay with some springs of fragrant soutbernwood. And he was in such haste that be forgot to conceal them from the public gaze by a bit of paper, as—feeling hat it was somewhat : ridiculous for a stout old bachelor of forty-five to he carrying aboutlittle bouquets—he had done on other .occeSione. The doOtor was driving atva,y from Miss Cordedia's door as John approach- ed it, the horse going at his old-fashion- ed jog, as if there were nothing in the world that!was worth hurryiug for. "1 hope lite isn't 1" thought John, at d _then it sudden suspicion seized him. Here enight be another rival, and a more -formidable one than Parson Gree- ley. Werlei rivals spriegiug up around him like mushrooms, when he had never - thought of the possibility of the exist- ence of one? i . Miss Cordelia'e cheeks were very much flushed, and they grew redder still at Sight of John's nosegay. John, strange to say, did not blush or stammer its he presented it. Rivals seemed to :be a wonderful stimulus to to his couritge. I , " Cordell!), I heard that yo4 were going to Marry Parson Greeley. t isn't true, is it There wes something in the tone of his voice that made Miss Cordelia. start. Was `John! going to speak, after being dumb so lop.g? " Noeit insn't true," Miss Cordelia said, and cast down her eyes. " Nor—nor anybody else?" John was stammering now. Was his courage going to fail? ," No, nor anybody else," said Mies Cordelia. "That is—" Tryphosa, coming into the kitchen from the 'back yard at that moment, saw a sight which caused her to drop the cropple-crowned rooster? but just deceased, into her pan of dough.
