looking very much gratified; for it was some¬ 
thing which he had hardly expected. 
“Well, Party, what do you say 5” 
Now if Patty had not known her father so 
well, she might have thought he was really de¬ 
sirous of ascertaining her wishes in order that 
he might gratify them: hut as it was, she was 
too wary to be caught in such a trap. 
“ If I must go to housekeeping,’’ she said, “ I 
don't care much where! Only don't let it be 
that dull, lonely place on Pleasant street.” 
“The very one that's the most suitable, as 
any one. with the least particle of sense, would 
see. It is very convenient, in perfect repair, 
besides having a nice garden attached to it.” 
And taking his hat, he invited Charley to go 
over and examine it. 
“The very one l wanted!’’ exclaimed Patty, 
gleefully, as the door closed after them. 
But there was something in her mother’s eyes 
that instantly sobered her. 
“ I know what you are thinking of,” she said, 
in a low voice. “ And I’m half ashamed my¬ 
self, at acting such a deceitful part! But what 
cau I do!' You know very well how every¬ 
thing would he if I 'should speak and act as I 
feel, and that there is no other way to get along 
with father,” 
All's. Coldstream could not deny this. 
•• I am not blaming you, my dear,” -he said, 
gently. “ But this peculiarity in your father is 
calculated to cultivate iu those living with him, 
a spirit of artfulness and deception, unless the 
disposition is naturally truthful aud sincere, as I 
trust yours is. I hope, in your new home, you 
can act yourself, and will not try to be anything 
else.” 
” I know one thing,” exclaimed Patty, ener¬ 
getically, after a long and thoughtful silence, 
“that if 1 thought Charley would ever have to 
be managed so, dearly as 1 love him, I would 
sooner die than place it in his power to make me 
so'completely wretched!” 
It was not until Patty stood beside him whom 
her heart had so freely chosen to be made his in 
the presence of God and man, that she dared to 
shadow forth the blissful and happy emotions 
that tilled her bosom. 
The change was so sudden and complete that 
her father noticed it. 
Ah! she is making the best of it, as I knew 
she would." he said to his wife, in a tone of tri¬ 
umph. “See what it is to have firmness and 
judgment! If she could have had her own way, 
she would have married that contemptible cox¬ 
comb, Fitzpoodle, instead of being the wife of 
an honest, sensible man.” 
As time moved on, not only proving the true 
worth of the heart she hail won, but binding it 
to her own by yet dearer ties, Patty felt that 
earth did not contain a happier home than her 
own. Her father, however, took the whole 
credit to himself, declaring she owed her happi¬ 
ness entirely to him, and often asked her if she 
didn't remember how bent she was ou rejecting 
Charley, and throwing herself away upon the 
most worthless man iu town! 
Patty never attempted to disprove these as¬ 
sertions, though '■hi' sometimes remarked, with 
a roguish smile, that she was not the only per¬ 
son who “went by contraries.” 
j2s?~A’o/ Alcoholic nor a Patent Medicine., 
your father has 
the heart, that he was so desirous of winning, 
as he had supposed. 
In the meantime Patty had run out the back 
way, down through the orchard, to the garden 
gate, which she knew he would pass, waiting 
for him. 
Charley's countenance brightened as he caught 
a glimpse of her smiling face. What she said 
seemed to be satisfactory, so much so that, at 
its conclusion, be caught her in his arms, kiss¬ 
ing repeatedly her cheeks and lips. And though 
Patty blushed, and said “ For shame, Charley!” 
she did not look iu the least angry, nor did she 
make the slightest resistance. 
C harley did not fail to respond to Mr. Cold¬ 
stream's invitation, spending at his house at 
least two evenings in every week, taking very 
philosophically the various exhibitions of sul¬ 
lenness and ill temper with which Patty re¬ 
warded his perseverance, seeming on the whole 
to rather enjoy them than otherwise. This 
quite delighted. Mr. Coldstream, who declared 
him to be vastly superior to the common run of 
young men, just the husband for Patty, in as 
much as he would have a mind of his own, and 
not give way to all her whims and caprices. 
Patty immediately began to extol the graces 
and accomplishments of the elegant Alphonso 
Fit?.poodle, following it up by lavishing Upon 
him, when he next called, her sweetest smiles. 
This had the effect of elevating the young cox¬ 
comb to the seventh heaven of felicity, and 
from which be was brought rudely down by 
Mr. Coldstream's coolly informing him “that 
his company was not desirable, and that fur¬ 
thermore. he needn't trouble himself to call 
upon his daughter,” much to the satisfaction of 
the latter, to whom Fitzpoodle was an insufter- 
nble bore. 
Encouraged by Mr. Coldstream's words and 
manner, and not at all discouraged by Patty's 
coolness, Charley made a formal proposal to the 
former for the hand of his daughter. As he 
was careful to insinuate that Patty’s manner 
toward him was not calculated to inspire him 
with much hope, Mr. Coldstream immediately 
gave his unqualified approval. 
“Never mind Patty,” he added $ “leave her 
with me. She will come round in time if she 
sees there’s no help for it. And if you carry a 
steady hand with her, not giving her too much 
of her own way. she will make you as good a 
wife as you can find.” 
Mr. Coldstream smiled grimly to himself, as 
he said this. And certainly Rarey never felt 
more satisfaction at an opportunity of subduing 
some vicious horse, than did this amiable indi¬ 
vidual at the thought of bringing to terms his 
refractory daughter. 
At the first opport unity he informed Patty of 
what he was pleased to term “ her undeserved 
good fortune.” 
As he expected, she stoutly rebelled, and as 
she expected, he as -toutly insisted. A stormy 
scene followed, and t was not until Mr. Cold¬ 
stream gave her the alternative of marrying 
Mr. Reed or leaving his house, that Patty 
yielded, and then it was with a very ill grace. 
“ 1 won’t be married for six months, at any 
rate!” she said. 
“You’llhe married this day fortnight! I do 
not approve of long engagements, as I’ve often 
told you,” was the anticipated rejoinder. 
“Then it shall be done very quietly, as in 
that case T shall need no further outfit, and 
shall escape the annoyance and fatigue of shop¬ 
ping.” 
“You need not trouble yourself to give any 
further directions,” replied Mr. Coldstream, 
with a lofty air. “ I am quite competent to de¬ 
cide these points. You will be married in a 
manner -intable to your station, and also in the 
presence of your friends and acquaintances, and 
not slyly, as though you were ashamed of the 
husband I have selected for you.” 
Then taking a roll of bills from his pocket- 
book, he handed it to his wife, saying, 
“It is my wish that you see that Patty has 
everything, In the way of clothing, that is fitting 
my daughter should have. And if that sum is 
not sufficient, you call on me for more.” 
It was Patty’s wish to go at once to house¬ 
keeping. Though surrounded by every nominal 
comfort, she had never enjoyed the peace and 
Reed's coming here any more; 
a strong prejudice against him, 
Now Patty owed her euphonious name to the 
fact that it was among the few that Mrs. Gold- 
stream disliked; a dislike that was shared by 
the young lady herself, who at one time made 
an effort to change it to Martha. An attempt 
that was instantly vetoed by the father, who 
declared “that Patty was her name and Patty it 
should be.” A fact that be lost no opportunity 
of impressing upon her mind, whenever he saw 
her in the least inclined to rebel against his 
authority. 
“ So he would have against any one that any¬ 
body else liked,” was Patty’s rather unfilial re¬ 
joinder. “It is only because he thiuks 1 am 
partial to him. But I’ve made up my mind to 
one thing, I won’t give up Charley!” 
And Patty's eyes grew bright, aud she set her 
fool down iu a very decided manner. 
“But, my dear, what will you doP’ said Mrs. 
Coldstream, looking very much distressed. 
“ Your father declares that he shall not come 
into the house again. And you know as well as 
I do, how set he is in his ways.” 
••I know he always contrives to be on the 
contrary side, whatever happens. You need 
not look so troubled, mother. I won’t have 
any trouble with father, if I can help it, if it is 
only for your sake. Bui I’ll manage to have 
my own way for once in my life, as you shall 
see.” 
Patty smiled as she said this, and though her 
mother shook her head u biouslv, as if she had 
little faith in the assertit I, she offered no fur¬ 
ther remonstrance. 
The next day they wei e all seated together in 
the family sitting room. Mr. Coldstream was 
in a rather melancholy inood; nothing having 
occurred for some time with which he could 
find any fault, or get up any contention. 
Patty sat by the window, to all appearance 
completely absorbed in fashioning some dainty 
bit of embroidery, though occasionally her 
bright eyes gleamed out upon the path that led 
to the road with an expectant look. 
Suddenly she heard a step. Even before her 
eyes fell upon the young gentleman, who was 
just opening the gate, the warm color Hashed 
up from her cheeks to the temple, probably 
with anger, for she immediately exclaimed- 
“ I declare! if that disagreeable Charley Reed 
isn’t coming here again!” 
“Hey, what’s that!” said Mr. Coldstream, 
pricking up nb. ears, as though like the war 
horse he scented the battle afar off. 
“-C. jar icy Reed,” returned Patty, very com¬ 
posed i ending her needle. “1 really wish 
he hin -ease enough to know where he wasn’t 
wanted. I suppose, because I've talked with 
him considerably lately, just to pass away the 
time, he fancies I'm in love with him.” 
Here the young lady gave her head a toss, as 
much as to say, whatever lie may think, she 
hadn't the le.-t iueu of it. 
"You’d show ymur sense, if you was, theu,” 
retorted her father; “instead of encouraging 
uch a set of silly, brainless popinjays, and 
which I am determined you shall do no longer! 
Mr. Iieed is a very promising young man, as I 
have often had occasion to remark, and his 
preference is an honor to any lady.” 
Mr. Coldstream was blessed with a very con¬ 
venient memory, and his daughter’s language 
had aroused such a strong spirit of opposition, 
that he actually believed that he had always 
regarded the young man with unusual favor. 
“Those who like his company are welcome to 
it! I’m going up stairs,’’ said Patty. 
And rising from her seat, she began to pick 
up her work, iu a s cry cool, deliberate manner. 
“ You'll do no such thing, Miss Patty!” said 
Mi'. Coldstream, as soon as he could recover 
from his astonishment at the unprecedented 
audacity of her words and looks. “Just re¬ 
sume. your seat, if you please. And see, too, 
that you treat the young gentleman in a proper 
manner.” 
Patty ffirted down into her seat, muttering 
something, to which her father could not reply, 
as just at this moment the person in question 
entered. 
The young gentleman, though noted for his 
ease and self-possession, was evidently embar¬ 
rassed by his reception. The unexpected cor¬ 
diality of the old gentleman, who the last time 
he was there had treated him with marked 
rudeness, and the as unaccountable coolness of 
his daughter, puzzled 1dm. 
Mr. Coldstream darted a displeased glance at 
his daughter, regarding this as a tacit rebellion 
against his authority. 
“Patty,” lie said, clearing his throat and 
speaking in aloud voice, “don’t you see your 
neighbor, Mr. Reed?” 
Patty arose fetidly from her seat, extending, 
with a very ungracious air, her two fore fingers 
to the young man. 
As she did so she glanced around. Her moth¬ 
er's pompous air, aud Charley’s rueful look, 
were too much for her risibilities, and unable to 
conceal the strong inclination to laugh, she pre¬ 
cipitately left the room, overturning her work- 
box as she went, and scattering its contents at 
the feet of her lover, who had risen from his 
seat, and who began seriously to fear that the 
young lady had taken leave of her senses. It 
was some time before Mr. Coldstream’s aston¬ 
ishment and anger would allow him to speak. 
“ Very rude and improper conduct.” he said 
at last. “ If this is the way that you are bring¬ 
ing up your daughter, Mrs, C., it is high tiije

IvT MARY GRACE IIALPINE, 
lx was a matter of principle with Mr. Cold¬ 
stream to be always on the contrary side. In 
this respect be differed from the amiable old 
lady immortalized by Dickens; lor, whereas 
“ everybody went contrary,” with her, he went 
contrary with everything. 
Had he been born iu England, aud had fitness 
been all that was necessary, he would, doubt¬ 
less, have figured largely before Parliament as 
one of the “ oppositionbut, beiug born in re¬ 
publican America, he was obliged to confine the 
exercise of his peculiar talent to a more limited 
sphere. 
To find out what his opiuiou was upon any 
subject you bad only to express your own, for 
he was sure to take the opposite side. He was 
politically a democrat—that is, he always voted 
that ticket; but if we may credit his repeated 
declarations, he was opposed to every principle 
they advocated. He quarreled persistently, 
with all their leading men: finding fault with 
all they did, aud all they failed to do. 
He had been a member of the orthodox 
church for a number of years: but why he ever 
joined it, was a puzzle to most of the brethren. 
For, according to his own language, he sul)- 
scribed to none of the articles of faith: strenu¬ 
ously opposing them whenever they were men¬ 
tioned with the slightest approval. 
He carried his amiable spirit into all the rela¬ 
tions of life. He married his wife simply be¬ 
cause her friends opposed it, and displayed 
afterwards a wonderful ingenuity in finding out 
her opinions and preferences, iu order that he 
might contradict and thwart them, until, after 
the first few months, she moved about the 
house, to whose well ordering she devoted all 
her energies, with a timid, deprecating air, as 
though she really begged pardon for being there 
at all. 
She rarely ventured to express an opinion of 
her own; but when she did she was cut short 
by the original observation, “ What do women 
know about such matters?” or my “wardrobe 
is in shocking condition, Mrs. C. Not a decent 
collar, or above a dozen shirts that I can wear. 
Not a very remarkable circumstance, however, 
when you will occupy yourself with matters 
entirely beyond your province and comprehen¬ 
sion.” 
In the early part of her married life, she had 
inadvertently expressed the belief that in pur¬ 
chasing articles be longing exclusively to her 
own attire, she could lay out the money to bet¬ 
ter advantage than he. This was enough. 
Ever afterward, at a serious inconvenience and 
loss of time, he insisted upon purchasing every¬ 
thing for her, from a shawl down to a skein of 
cotton. He was, as he frequently asserted, “a 
martyr to her incompetence,” spending whole 
days in penetrating into the mysteries of dry 
goods and millinery, aud bringing home such 
bargains, in the shape of dingy silks and rib¬ 
bons, and prints and delaines, of such outre pat¬ 
tern, that his wife trembled whenever she saw 
him coming home with a bundle under his arm, 
for he would rarely entrust his precious com¬ 
modities to the care oi another. 
Mrs. Coldstream bore this very potently, un¬ 
til, one day, lie sent home a bonnet of light 
blue, and profusely ornamented with flowers of 
the same delicate hue. She was a dark brunette, 
and taking it from the bandbox, she held it at 
arm’s length, and surveyed it with an air of 
consternation. 
“How could you select such a color as this, 
my dear?" she said to her husband, who stood 
by regarding it with evident complacency. “ I 
can never wear it in the world; I look like a 
fright in blue.” 
Nothing more was needed. From that time 
henceforth blue was the color with Mr. Cold¬ 
stream. In all its shades, from the darkest in¬ 
digo to the lightest azure, it was the principal 
color of his wife’s wardrobe; meeting her every 
remonstrance with the assertion, 
“A beautiful color, Mrs. C., and so becoming 
to your complexion!” 
Mr. Coldstream had two children, a son and 
daughter, who were brought up on the agree¬ 
able principle of giving them everything they 
didn’t want, and continually crossing their in¬ 
clinations. The natural result of this was tlnvt 
the son left his home at the first opportu¬ 
nity, and the daughter determined to do so, 
as soon as she could obtain that indipensablo 
article to enable her to do so with propriety, 
namely, a husband. As she was pretty and 
sensible, and had more than an unusual share of 
feminine tact, her prospects in this respect were 
very encouraging.

day, “ it won’t do for you to encourage Charley
