ly looked at the widow. “Well, I do declare!” 
said the widow, settling her cap border, “I never 
see the beat in all iny born days,” said Miss Sally, 
smoothing her apron nervously. 
With hearts too full tor utterance the two wor¬ 
thies separated. 
No sooner was Miss AitNOLn out of town, than 
Mr. Marsh went to a pleasant family, living in the 
edge of the village, and engaged rooms for himself 
and wife—and to the laughing remark of Mrs. En- 
wakhs, that she supposed of course, the wife was 
to be Miss Arnold, lie gave an unhesitating assent. 
The furnishing of tiie rooms occupied the whole 
of his attention for several days, and many were 
the plans devised by the Widow Simpkins for get¬ 
ting a peep at them, but she failed in all of them, 
and Mr. Marsh dually left Tattletpwn with the 
keys in his pocket, and not so much as a crack in 
the blinds to gratify the woman’s curiosity. 
It seemed as if that summer vacation never 
would come to an end, but it did close at last, and 
it was told all over Tattletown one Saturday even¬ 
ing, that Mr. Marsh and his wife were at Mrs. Ed¬ 
wards’ house. 
Our good minister must have wondered at the 
unusual crowd that fairly filled the church the next 
morning, but he must also have readily guessed at 
the cause, from the universal rustle and turning 
of heads when Charles Marsh came slowly up the 
aisle, escorting a very beautiful lady, in the purest 
white, and followed by a little figure in traveling 
costume, with a face that some of us thought was 
fairly running over with mischief—even our teach¬ 
er, Miss IIelex Arnold. 
Every body was puzzled ; Miss Sally' could not 
think “ what on airth it meant. The bride was the 
very 'picture of Helen Arnold, only she had longer 
curls and redder cheeks.” The mystery was solved, 
however, after service, when Helen, with her 
brown eybs all in a twinkle, introduced to Widow 
Simpkins, “my sister, Mrs. Marsh.” 
School-girls are proverbially quick-witted, and 
it was soon universally understood in the Academy 
how Helen bad “ check-mated the gossips,” and 
how Mr. Marsh had been engaged to her sister 
Alice, for a long time, and only waiting to estab¬ 
lish himself in the Academy before he married — 
that Helen was her sister’s bride-maid, and wore 
the white ciape at the wedding, and a great deal 
more that May Edwards told us. 
“ Helen,” said Miss Edwards to her one day, 
“ did you really tell the Widow Simpkins that you 
had been engaged to Mr. Marsh a year?” 
“No, indeed, she congratulated me on catching 
a husband so soon, and the tun of the thing hap¬ 
pened to strike me just then, so I told her, Mr. 
Marsh and I had been engaged more than a year. 
It was true, you see, for Charles and Alice have 
been engaged ever so long, and I have been en¬ 
gaged a year to —to—well, no matter. Don’t laugh 
at me, that’s a dear, good Aunty—I didn’t mean to 
tell, only, don’t you think Widow Simpkins is a 
meddling old gossip?” 
Helen Arnold is our; teacher still, but we are to 
have a new one next teilm, and T know something 
that Helen told me on'.l^'''t, about a locket with 
somebody’s picture said I wouldn’t tell. 
have an eye upon our handsome Principal as a pos¬ 
sible conquest. “I don’t believe she knows any¬ 
thing at all, and I for one am not going to recite to 
her — I’ll tell Mr. Marsh so this very morning.” 
“Now, Mary Ward, just confess you are dying 
with jealousy,” chimed iu little May Edwards,— 
“She is a regular little beauty', and I prophecy 
that Mr. Maiisii comes to a realizing sense of her 
charms before many months. Wouldn’t they make 
a handsome couple, girls ?—ke needs just such a 
meek little rose-bud to set off his proud face and 
lord-lofty airs.” 
We all laughed at May, except Mary Ward, who 
preserved a dignified silence, and all seemed to 
agree in the opinion that, at all events, she was 
preferable to that vinegar-faced Miss Price whom 
we almost hated. 
Iu the course of a few days Miss Arnold slipped 
quietly into her round of duties in the Academy, 
and as quietly into a warm place in the affections 
of the scholars. Only two or three persevered in 
a stubborn dislike, led on and encouraged by 
Mary Ward, whose hatred seemed continually to 
increase. 
If Mr. MARsn came into the room to see how the 
recitation was conducted, or gave a whispered hint, 
about some matters that he imagined might be bet¬ 
ter arranged, Mary’s eyes spoke volumes of sly 
meaning as she glanced at some sympathizing 
spirit. It was not long before strange whispers 
began to circulate among the Tattletown gossips, 
and by the middle of the shmmer the whispers 
gave place to openly repeated tales of the shocking 
conduct of the new teacher, and her evident attach¬ 
ment to Mr. Marsh. It was declared, on the best 
of testimony, that once they took a long ride to¬ 
gether, in the evening, and that he called every 
week at her boarding place; and his landlady’s 
daughter told Mary Ward, confidentially, that he 
had Miss Arnold’s miniature in an elegant case in 
his writing desk, probably taken some time before, 
for her curls were long and her cheeks rounder. 
It was agreed on all hands that it was shameful 
in the extreme, for a little upstart of a “school- 
ma’am,” to step so coolly in, and with so little 
trouble to carry oft’ a prize for which no less than 
a dozen fair damsels had exhausted all their^irts 
in vain. Various-persons were deputed to ap¬ 
proach Mr. Marsh upon the subject, and cautiously 
to undermine her influence over him, but he avoid¬ 
ed the subject of her personal merits with consum¬ 
mate skill, and would only speak of lier success as 
a teacher, which no one could dispute. 
The long vacation drew on, and Helen Arnold, 
as if unconscious of the prying eyes that were 
watching every movement, commenced making 
quite extensive additions to her wardrobe. Every 
item that went through the hands of milliner and 
mantuamnker was carefully noted, and reported at 
the weekly Sewing Society. There was such an 
elegant traveling suit, and, above all, a white crape 
dress with rose-colored ribbons, that the widow 
Simpkins happened to see her trying on, and gave 
an account of. “I ’spose that is a weddiu’ dress, 
isn’t it Miss Arnold,” says I. She kinder laughed 
and tried to turn it off, but she blushed as red as a 
piney.

W hen standing in the halls of mirth 
Amid the festive scenes of earth, 
Where youth, and joy, and love, are met, 
All care and sorrow to forget— 
Where chandeliers shed floods of light 
O’er floating forms, and robes of white, 
And flowing locks, and brows of snow, 
And beaming smiles, and cheeks aglow, 
And starry eyes, whose love-tipped darts 
With rapture thrill devoted hearts; 
And sparkling jems, and waving plume, 
And rose-wreaths breathing rich perfume, * 
And gilded vase, and statues tall, 
With paintings, glancing from the wall, 
While garlands bright of evergreen, 
And fresh-blown flowers o’erarch the scene, 
Distilling Eden fragrance ’round, 
And music’s soft, subduing sound 
Swelling so wildly, gladly sweet, 
The heart almost forgets to beat— 
Then cometh to the pensive heart, 
(Bidding the sudden tear drop start,) 
The fearful thought that Time’s swift wave 
Is sweeping downward to the grave 
That brilliant throng so blithe and gay, 
From light, and love, and life, away— 
That soon each eye, now beaming bright, 
Eaeli warm heart bounding with delight, 
Each fair young form with flying feet, 
Will be no more where dancers meet, 
But wrapt in gloom, and all forgot, 
Lie mouldering in some lonely spot 
And when a social hour we spend 
With some tried one we dare call friend, 
When, from each heart is drawn aside, 
The veil that doth its treasure hide, 
And all that’s deeply buried there 
Is to the eye of friendship bare; 
And soul-full words, not cold and slow, 
From heart to heart in rapture flow, 
While eye looks frankly into eye, 
And Time unheeded hurries by ; 
Then comes the thought—hours fly so fast, 
These blissful ones will soon be past, 
And we must part—nor can we know 
If e’er again to meet below. 
And when we fondly circle round 
That spot where purest joy is found 
This side of Heaven— the Hearth of Home— 
Ere yet one foot has learned to roam 
From that dear, peaceful place away 
To take a part in Life’s “ great play ;” 
Comes not the hitter thought to thee ? 
Not long, alas!” we thus can be ! 
For Time is flying, and will bring 
Sad changes to this happy ring, 
And tear the clasping links apart 
That now uuite each hand and heart, 
And bear us from this sacred spot, 
And cast, ’mid varied scenes, eaeli lot, 
And seas and mountains will divide 
Those who have grown here “ side by side,” 
And never more our scattered feet 
At twilight ’round this hearth-stone meet; 
But strangers gaily gather here, 
Unknowing that we ever were.

Says I “ I think you have done pretty 
well to catch a husband so soon after coming here, 
and as likely a man as Charles Marsh, too. She 
looked at ine sort of surpi-ised-like for a minnit, 
and then I spose she thought ’twant no use sham¬ 
ming, so she said just as cool, ‘Oh, Mr. Marsii 
and I have been engaged more than a year.’ ” 
“I declare I never heard the beat. If that gal 
aint the most brazen-faced piece ever I saw.” 
So poor Miss Arnold was discussed, and some 
plainly declared they were glad school had closed, 
for they would not send their children to such a 
person. 
It was the last night of Helen’s stay in Tattle¬ 
town, and the widow Simpkins, having flattened 
her nose against the window for a distressing

Marsh enter the door of her boarding-place and 
seat himself on the sofa with Helen Arnold.— 
Then he rose and shut the blind toward the street, 
entirely cutting off the good widow’s view of any 
interesting scene that might be about to transpire.

TIIE MYSTERIES OF TATTLETOWN 
BY EMILY C. HUNTINGTON 
For Moore’s Rural New-Yorker. 
MATHEMATICAL PROBLEM. 
I have never been able to find any record, written 
or traditional, of the way in which our town came by 
such an appellation as Tattletown. Whether it 
was legally christened in its log cabin babyhood, 
or whether it was only a nickname, bestowed by 
some neighboring settlement, out of pure spite 
and envy, nobody can tell. One thing is certain, 
it has borne the name as far back as the memory 
of that remark able personage, “ the oldest inhab¬ 
itant,” extends, and from some natural tendency 
the people have been obliging enough to slide into 
the character indicated by it, until it would puzzle 
a professional linguist to bestow a more appropri¬ 
ate one upon the village. This is all in the strict¬ 
est confidence, for I pride myself particularly upon 
my entire freedom from all inclination to meddle 
with my neighbors’ affairs, but I make the remark 
as introductory to an account of a funny affair that 
has just transpired among us, which I thought you 
might like to hear about. 
You may have heard of Tattletown Academy, the 
special pride and glory of the village and all the 
country around. Well, the village folk were 
thrown into quite a commotion by the news that 
the Principal was about to employ a new assistant 
in the place of Miss Price, the English teacher.— 
This was particularly welcome on account of the 
great dearth of topics of conversation just then.— 
The new minister and his wife had been fully can¬ 
vassed, and the probable cost of every article of 
her dress had been settled a week before, from her 
velvet mantle to her boot lacings. There had been 
no run-away marriages — no breaking off engage¬ 
ments— in short, nothing of interest for some time, 
so of course it was natural to look with anxiety for 
the advent of the new teacher. 
In spite of “Vigilance Committees” no body 
found out how or when she came to town, but one 
morning Mr. Marsh, the Principal, walked into the 
recitation-room, where about a dozen of the older 
girls were collected, and introduced to us our new 
teacher, Miss Arnold. She was a little creature, 
no larger than May Edwards, the pet of the school, 
with a face as fair as a lily, large brown eyes, and 
hair that clustered in rings and short curls about 
her forehead, and all over her head — she told us 
afterwards that it had just grown out after a long 
sickness. She bowed pleasantly to us, blushing, 
as well she might, at the battery of eyes turned 
scrutinizingly upon her, and in a few moments 
passed out again with Mr. Marsh. Such a buzz of 
voices as arose in the room defied control—and va¬ 
rious were the opinions expressed. 
“I don’t see what Mr. Marsh wanted of such a 
little baby-faced thing as that,” said the oldest girl 
in the room, whom the gossips slyly declared to

worthies were installed by the window, but greatly 
to their disappointment, they could only hear dis¬ 
connected sentences. What they did hear, ran 
about as follows: 
“ I do not feel as if I was worthy of such a wife, 
Nellie.” 
“I don’t think you are either, and I have a great 
mind to enter protest now.” 
Then a merry laugh, during which Miss Sally 
whispered the widow, “ she thinks enough of her¬ 
self any how.” 
“ I met that old Widow Simpkins in at the dress¬ 
makers the other da)’, and she said you were a very 
likely man, and congratulated me on my conquest. 
I cant imagine how that has got around town.” 
“Tiie deceitful jade,” whispered the widow 
wrathfully, “ I should like to box her ears'.” 
A good deal more was said on both sides, but 
nothing very satisfactory to the listeners until Mr. 
Marsh rose to depart. 
“ Oh, I forgot,” said he, pausing exactly before 
the window, and taking a small package from his 
pocket, he opened it, held up au elegant bracelet, 
which he clasped upon Miss Arnold’s arm, say¬ 
ing, “wear that at the wedding, will you Nellie, 
for my sake?” 
Helen looked at the bracelet a moment, admir¬ 
ing it with all a child’s delight, and then said, “ I 
think I will repent and give you the kiss you 
teazed for, alter all.” So Charles Marsh bent his 
handsome head, and left a kiss on as rosy a mouth 
as ever was kissed before or since. 
“ Good night, little one, I shall see you again 
next Thursday. Give my love to your father and 
mother, and you know who has all the rest." 
He was gone at last, down the street, and Helen 
shut the door, and they had a glimpse of her little 
feet flying up the stairs to her room. 
The widow looked at Miss Sally, and Miss Sal-
