Mrs Bodine was not deceived. She
noted everything silently, and

There is no other course for her. I
reckon she'll win it, as many a girl
leas before."
MYDEAR AINSLEY,— Permit me
to remind you of my existence—if

wilds. An expedition of this kind
is a good thud; for a fellow occasion-

Mrs Bodine believed the marriage
would result well on other grounds,
'• Cousin Hugh," she said, one day
when they were alone, " you may
shut ole up if I am meddling, but
you are not thinking of Mara in the
same waythat you did in. the
spring.
" I admit it, cousin Sophy, and
you need not shut up."
" Well, I reckon it will come
about. On general principles I don't
approve of such marriages, but I
suppose there are exceptions to most
rules. As I have said to you before,
Mara is as old in her feelings as you
are, and I think you will be happier
together than you would be apart.
I never understood Mara altoeethet;
but of one thing I ant certain,' she
roust have some strong motive,some
thing or some person for wlhoni sea

woman, she would have a good tion

beyond her control. Words of pas-
sionate protest rose to her very lips,
but she remembered in time that
they would involve revelations

in the solitude of Beit own room, she
accepted this bitter experience, as
she had resolved to,accept all others,
as a part of her lot.
In her morbidness she became
Jesuitical. Her father's old friend
should be made as happy as it was
in her power to render him. What-
ever interfered with this purpose
should be concealed or trampled up-
on. Of Glancy she said bitterly,
"If he thinks he has been magnani-
mous, how little be understands
me."
Clancy's motives bad been some-

her pride ahould be rebuked 'and
wounded, and he also wished her to
know that he was above the petty
resentment of jealousy.

After the severest test at the late
fair in Clinton, it was universally ad-
mitted that FOR PERFECT AND EASY
ACTION, BEAUTY OF FINISH, AND SWEET-
NESS OF TONE, the EXCELSIOR was
away ahead of all others, and destined
to be the popular instrument of the
day,This,
along with
the fact that to
special prize was awarded it, certainly
speaks volumes for the instruments,
and parties purchasing should see the
Exca'Lsion before buying elsewhere.
