And Tar.ii% yli threw a significant glance in the dir otion of Mr. Greeley's apart- enents[_ - / " Will o'a take a strawberry 7" said Miss Chester; but was sorry. the next moment, for the expression on Mr. Wylie's countenance was as though she had invited him to take a dose of argent% "But won't -you to and put your rose in water? or jt will fade," she said enxious to Gofer the mistake which she pereeived that she had made. "Ah I will it fade?" replied Mr. Wylie, feeling that his poetry was re- turmeg to him. " 0, yea, indeed it will, ever Bo quick- ly 1" said Miss Cheater ; "and so will mine, if I don't see to them at once." 'And she ran away up -stairs to her room. An hour or 89 later, when Mrs. Dun- ning was octapied with Mr. Greeley's tea -table, she made a. singular disclo- sure. "Law, sir!" she said-, " what do you suppose Miss Chester does for her liv- ing?" "t -cannot say, Mrs. Dunning," re- plied Mr. Greeley. "What does Mies Chester do ?" "Rides 'ossback in a circus, sir." Mr. Greeley let fall his -meerschaum pipe, whil would infallibly have been broken, h ,d not Mrs. Dunning caught itin her apron. "Law, yes, sir !" oontinued the land- lady. " That's what he tells me. Nut likin' to see her go out of an evening and come 'ome never before 10.30; I says to her, 'Do you think it respecta- ble, my dear, and me not used to such ways, no, an' never shall be.' And then she up and saye,quite quiet and modest, that she belongs to Butler's Circus, which, from a child hup, she 'aye rid- den the bare -back 'oss, bein' the station of life to which Providence 'as called her, likewise short, skirts and sating shoes, and her 'air a-flowin' down her baek." • "And thie is really the truth, Mrs. Dunning said Mr. Greeley. "Which eight years come Michael- mas next you 'as been with me, sir, and never, which well you know it, Mr. Greeley, foend me [anything but truth- ful." "Of course I V:on't doubt your word, Mrs. Dauning ; but it is a strange pro- fession for such a girl as Mise Chester seems to be. Butler's Circus,de you say?" " Yes3 sir, they Imes Giese again James -Street, and Miss Chester's on in the "front scene, sir, which being but young, the 'tnauager lots her, so as she can be 'ome and a -bed at a decent Christiarethour. Youtig Mr. Butler, she says, always sees her 'cone, and some- times comes to fetch her. I do believe this is the gentleman a oomin' up the garden." A tall, good-looking young man knocked at the door and inquired for • Miss Chester. The next moment the • young lady herself ran down-stairie and , a greeting passed between them which, to the / ears of Mr. Greeley and Mrs. Dunning, sounded , a little leee than brotherly and more than cousinly. 'Did you hear that, Mrs. Dunning?" asked gr. Greeley, in reference to a certain pleasant noise that echoed softly, from -the passage. " Which, thanking you sir, I 'as my • 'earing good," answered Dirs. Dunning, ,with dignity, as though she felt that a kiss in the passage in some way com- promised her reputation as a landlady. "1 should like this to be kept from the ears of William," Mr. Greeley after- wards said to himself. • But Mrs. Dunning will certainly tell him; and what then? He will go to the place. Well, I will go, too." - It was Saturday, and at seven in the evening an elderly gentleman of benign aspect, wearing an expensive suit of, tweeds, purchased a pit. ticket for But- ler's Circus. Shortly afterwards,,an elderly gentle- man, of mild - appearance, wearing a resplendent hat a little on the left side of his head, purchased a ticket for the gallery. Mr. Greeley had left his circus days.a long way behind, and -found the peddle mances in the ring anything but enliv- ening. He sat bolt upright in the front row of the pit, and kept hisee-eye fixed on the entry byhathich ho eiscpeoteci that Miss Chester' would make her appear. ante on the fiery bare -hacked steed. He had looked eagerly for her name on the programme, but found it not; and was fain to console himself with the sugges- tion that probably she played her part undet another name. Presently he had an uncomfortable sensation that he was being stared at; and looking up he saw Mr. ,Wylie gazing'down on him from the gallery. Mr. Wylie's expression indi- cated a puzeled state of mind, and the eye which had not its visual powers obliterated (by Mr. Wylie's hat appeared to be faaninated by Mr. Greeley's new clothes. This made Mr. Greeley more uncomfortable still.eThe performance proceeded, but; no Mii3e 'Chester appear- ed on any steede.fitery, bare -back, or otherwise. There Were many- young ladies with brief skirts and flowing hair, who pirouetted on prancing steeds, and leaped through hoops, and slapped the face of theclown, and said, "Houp-lal" when thering-master cracked his whip; but amongst them was not Miss Rose Chester.- Mr. Greeley began to be aweary, aweary, and to wish he were in bed. The hoofs of the fiery steeds threw up sawdust in his eyes, and the clown leveled his best joke directly at him.. The performance was over, and Miss Chester had n-ot appeared at all. Sad and dispirited Mr. Greeley left his seat and followed the crowd ont of the circus. "Can she be ill ?",he asked himself. "Can anything have happen- ed to her? , She was still in the house when I\ left'it. 7 ,The two friends met at the outside doer, but feigned not to see each other, and went home by separate ways, Mr. Wylie getting in a little in advance of Mr. Greeley. A cab was standing before the garden -gate when Mr, Greeley reached it, and the circamstalace being an unusual one at that hour, did not fail to strike him. As he went up -the path he encountered a man carrying a trunk another unusual oircumata.nce which also made its, impression. "What - can this be?" said Mr. Greeley, with a sense of sinking at the heart. Then a tall lady, dressed in blackecame out. of the house, and followed the man with the trunk. After her -Mr. Greeley rubbed his eyes and pinched himself, but there was no deception -walked Miss Rose Chester, flushed, but with her pretty little head erect, and stepping with an air of defiance. In the doorway stood - Mrs. Dunningretnonstrating vo!,o, nhl Y.you naughty, naughty girl, to go and deceive me like that! I'm ashamed of you, I am 1" said Mrs. Dun- ning. But Miss Chester answered her not. Mr.' Greeley, lost in -.bewilderment, stood aside to let her page. 'She looked at him with yearniaig eyes, and said, • sweetly : " Geed 7 night, Mr. Greeley; good-bye; I am g�ng.' . The lecly in black tiarned around and said, -sharply, " II Id .your tongue, M1813 1" "1 shan't •hold my tongue," replied Miss Chester. "Good-bye, Mr. Gree- ley," she said, again; "and thank von ever so much for your strawberries; Dee eaten them all." . ;" It's the oriel stepmother," thought Mr. Greeley, and wild notione of rescue crossed his mind. But Miss Cheater passed on, following the lady in black. They readhed the cab-, the driver mount- ed to his seat, and theAorse dashed away intolthe darkness at the rate of two mile*and alialf an hour, ,-Mr. Greleyein a state of the utmost agitation;hitatened to the house. "Mrs. Dunning, Mrs. Dunning 1' he gasped, "what is all this?" " 0 sir 1 tO Mr. Greeley 1" wailed the landlady, " she've been and played on tis, a youn hu gityt, been and deceived, air, you an. , me and Mr. Wylie and all of tis 1" " "Played on nal deceived nal Who has done this?

" Sir," answered Mrs. Dunning sol- emnly, " there ain't no circus and there -ain't no Mr. But:ler.

Mrs. Dunning, Miss Ches- ter deserves to be whipped!" "1 sheuldn't wonder if her ma would manage that little business for her, sir," replied. Mrs. Dunning with much satis- faction. Meanwhile Mr. Wylie, standing out- side the door, had overheard this collo- quy. - , "Have I been on the point of break- ing with Sam Greeley on account of a chit of fifteen ?" Mr. Wylie indignantly asked of himeelf: „ Then, he went down- stairs with his hat in his hand. . Mr. Greeley heard him, and met him at. the doer. t Will 1" " Sam I" "We have been, Will, a (maple of-" "Old fools,Sam; downright old fools 1" By this time the downright old fools were clasping hands, and looking at one another a little shamefacedly and very affectionately. " We're bnth in the 'same boat, Will," said Mr. Greeley; "but you know I did say from the first that Woman waa-" "So you did, Sam; and she is, espe- cially when- she's e. girl of fifteen." • Very shortly after this, there stood on the table a capacious bowl, from which a gentle steam went up, and an odor of a sweet savor pervaded the room. Later still, Mt. Greeley brought out his flute, and Mr. Wylie sang two br three dozen of the songs of hike youth. The bowl was gettieg low when Mr. Greeley said, “ There is a little thing by Longfellow, Will, which I think would be appropriate to the occasion.. I dien't know that it has been set to music; but I daresay we could sing it between - a . "1 knew it," said Mr. Wylie; lead on, Sam, and I'll follow." And the two old fellows lifted up their voices and Sang : "1 know a maiden, fair to see- • Take care I . . She can both false and friendly be - Beware, beware I Trust her not, she is fooling thee!" Then Mr. Greeley insisted on accom- panying Mr. Wylie to his bedchamber, a kindly office which, thank t to the ex- cellence of .the rum punch, was not wholly superfluous. • To a Young Lady About to Marry. "And you are actually- going to get married! You! already! And you expect me to congratulate you, or per- haps not. I admire the judiciousness of , that 'perhaps not.' Frankly, my dear, , I wish you all happiness in the new life that is opening to you, and you &remar- rying nnder good auspices, since your 1 father approves of the marriage. But' congratulations on such occasions seem to me a tempting of Providence. The Iriumphil procession air which in our manners and customs is given to mar- •riage at the outset -that singing of "Te Deum " before the battle has begun - has, ever since I could reflect, struck me as somewhat senseless and some- what impious.
