As they stood in the hall, Nelly whispered, 
“Don’t tell Henry and Amy now; for they will 
tease me.” 
“Mypay, then,” and he stooped for the first 
kiss from the lips of his betrothed. 
Arthur followed her to the sea side, where he 
had no difficulty in obtaining the consent of her 
parents to the union. The coming spring saw 
Nelly aloving wife, in a dwelling that had sprung 
up as if by magic, nearly opposite to the one oc¬ 
cupied by her sister. And if she reads this story 
she will laugh, as she recalls her positive asser¬ 
tion, “ I will never marry a farmer!” 
becoming pets. She went with her sister to 
visit all the tenant houses ; conversed with the 
parents, and told the childran stories, until all 
united in declaring that “the beautiful city lady 
was not one bit proud.” The brother some¬ 
times accompanied them in thiir rambles, open¬ 
ing gates, letting down bars, and carrying 
parcels; and usually returning with a perfect 
mountain of flowers plucked by the hands of his 
companions. With Amy he was always gay, 
laughing and social, coaxing her into grape vine 
tangles and blackberry thickets, alter bird’s 
nests or violets; and then, after making merry 
at her plight, taking her in his great arms and 
placing her on the open ground. But. with Nelly 
he was always reserved, and sometimes he was 
just a little abrupt. He never sought her socie¬ 
ty, and if they chanced to be left alone, he was 
coldly polite. And yet there were times when 
she was conversing with his brother, that she 
would look up, and find bis great, earnest eyes 
fixed upon her, and her heart would thrill like a 
flower with a humming bird in its blossom; and 
then, with one of his abrupt movements, he 
would turn away, chirping to the canary, or pull¬ 
ing Bounce’s ears; or, perhaps, he would go 
and teaze sister Amy awhile. Mr. Kingsley, the 
elder, was proud of his handsome brother, and, 
knowing his passionate love of beauty, he won¬ 
dered much that, he did not seem more attracted 
by the beautiful Nelly. That &be was a dear 
good girl he was snre, and their evident dislike 
to each other puzzled and even pained him. In 
the presence of others—and they had many visit- 
ora while Nelly was there—they were studiously 
polite; but in the family circle, Arthur, at least, 
was sarcastic. 
But A message came to Nelly, recalling her 
home for a visit to the 6ea-side. 
“ Oh! if you could only go with us, as in the 
olden times, Amy. I declare, Henry I atn afraid 
some dreadful punishment will be Inflicted upon 
you for taking Amy from us,” and tears came in 
her eyes and color in her cheek. 
“ What can it be, little sister? I have had 
nothing but blessings since I took her: andlast, 
but not least, has been your visit.” 
“Thank you! And that reminds me of the 
way the punishment is to come. I shall be an 
old maul, and come and live with you, cats, par¬ 
rots and all!’’ 
“What! on a farm, Nelly, where you would be 
buried alive!” 
“Don’t, sister, please! I am ashamed of all 
those silly speeches. Your home is a perfect 
paradise, and I could stay here with you, Amy, 
forever, and not be lonely. And then I did not 
know of the pleasant friends you have all around 
you,” 
Arthur seemed to be reading; but the leaf he 
was turning trembled in his fingers strangely. 
Nelly was to go to the care the next morning, 
and toward evening she went out to see her pets 
Ojjcc tiiOi'k •3k* , i 'jk touc tircad-cruuiOs ami 
salt, and made her way te the chicken coop. 
But the careful mother bad tucked her little 
family nicely away to sleep, and gave u spiteful 
little chlr-r-r, as Nelly offered the crumbs. 
“That is the way,” she said bitterly, “and 
they will all forget me as soon as I arn gone.” 
But her heart warmed up agaiD, as her little 
white friends, the lambs, yvrne running to meet 
her, rubbing against her, and eating the salt 
from her hand. “ Good-by!” she said, patting 
their soft heads. “ You will not forget me, if all 
the rest do /” and turning to go sbe found herself 
face to face with Arthur Kingsley. 
It was the first time ho had eyer sought her, 
and she stood embarrassed and confused. 
"Pardon me,” ha said gently, “if I intrude; 
buttbe dew is falling. Here is your shawl. Will 
you permit me?” and belaid the shawl carelessly 
about her shoulders. Why did Nelly feel faint 
and weak for an instant, as those hands lingered 
about the duty they were performing ? 
“And he heard me talking like a baby to those 
lambs,” she thought, as she turned to go. 
She took his proffered arm, and they returned 
by a more circuitous route than 6he had come. 
Twilight waa deepening into darkness, as they 
stood by the hall door. But few word# had been 
spoken by cither; bat now Arthur said, while 
his arm tightened on the little bund, “ Will you 
not visit the garden as well as your pets ?” Nel¬ 
ly looked up. Was ho teasing her about the 
lambs ? But no; those eyes were earnest now. 
She made no reply; she dare not trust her 
voice, bnt walked as he led to a garden chair near 
the fountain. She was glad he had selected that 
chair; for the thrill of the water as it fell in the 
marble basin, broke a silence that was becoming 
painful. 
“And you leave ns to-morrow? Do you re¬ 
gret it, just a little or were you jesting when you 
said yon could stay here for Amy's sake ?” Sbe 
did not answer, “May I sit by you while I tell you 
a story ?” he asked. Sbe made room for him by 
her side, and he began, “ I am a farmer by birth 
and education. This farm, with all its broad 
acres belonged to my father, and his father be¬ 
fore h'in. When our father died it was left to 
Henry uud me, with an injunction that it should 
not pass from our hinds while we lived. Aud it 
is no restriction, for we both love the old place. 
When Henry brought his city wife homo, I ex¬ 
pected to hear complaints and repinings. Bnt 
bless her loving heiirt 1 she made us all so hap¬ 
py! She told us of jeour horror of the country, 
and, when you came, you corroborated her tes¬ 
timony. But I loved you, Mias Nelly, from the 
moment i paw you, and have been tugging at 
the chain that held nns ever since you came. 
And to day, when you said what you did, I was 
tempted to do this uCt. Will you come for my 
sake, for my love, jNelly ? Bo my own sweet 
wile? And be loved as woman was never loved 
before ?” 
Por an iustant nothing was heard but the foun¬ 
tain ; aud then a little hand was laid softly in 
his, and she answered, in words so low that no 
one but a lover could have been 6ure of them, 
“ I will come for your sake!" 
“ There! Did not I tell you so ? This comes 
of marrying a farmer! Poor aunt Rachel! 
When I u-ed to pity her so, I did not think my 
sister would have to drudge in the same 
manner.” 
“ I do not need a bit of sympathy; I ain just, 
as happy as I can be. But come, now rest a 
little while, and then dress. I want you to look 
your best. Did you bring that blue silk I like 
60 well ? Oh! yes here it is! Shall I send Fan¬ 
ny up to help you ?” 
“ No, Amy, if sbe is your girl, and yon must 
take her place in the kitchen ?” 
“Now don’t fret any more, please! and in 
half an hour I shall send Fanny.” 
And Fanny came, and her nimble fingers soou 
convinced Nelly that it was uo new employment 
to Imr. When Nelly eutered the parlor, she 
tound her brothc-r-in law waiting to receive and 
welcome her; and then turning, he introduced 
a brother to her who was standing by his side. 
Hewasatine looking man of twenty-five per¬ 
haps, and just the one to make an impression on 
a loving heart like Nelly’s. The tea-bell soon 
raBg, and Nelly, taking Mr. Kingsley’s arm, 
went out, dreading tbe staring eyes of the work¬ 
men. But the little tea-table was laid for only 
four, and fairly glistened with its snowy napkins, 
lucid cbiba, and shining silver. Fanny, in white 
apron, aud with almost as white bands, attend¬ 
ed the table; nod Nelly gave a 111 tie sigh of re¬ 
lief, as her last bugaboo vanished, and chatted 
like herself with her friends. 
“How do yon like us In our home, Nelly?” 
said the husband, glancing at Amy. 
“Do we answer your expectations of farmers ?” 
Nelly was sure ho was quizzing her, and answer¬ 
ed with some show of spirit. 
“ I think it a shame for a man of your talents, 
and taste, yes, and wealth, to bury himself In 
such a solitary place as this! Why, I would not 
be compelled to pass my days here for the 
world!” Tbo happy con pie only laughed, and 
Nelly began to think she was very silly, and 
laughed too, and wished she had been a little 
less demonstrative. 
After lea, the husband proposed a walk in the 
garden, and here, as within the dwelling, the 
most artistic taste marked every arrangement. 
A perfect wilderness of flowers, aud yet not a 
thing Out of place. Nelly felt that she 6hould 
never tire of its beauties; hut Amy soon spoke 
of returning, as Nelly was quite weary. " And,” 
she said, glancing at. her husband, “ I shall want 
her to go with me to milk the cows.” 
“ I shall do no such thing! The horrid things, 
with their great, sharp horns, and ugly feet, Ial- 
ways was afraid of them at Aunt Rachel’s! One 
of them came at me, once, and would have bit 
me, if I had not screamed loud enough to ecare 
her away. Aunt said it was the clover blossoms 
1 had in my hand that she wanted, and not me; 
but I did not think so. At any rate, I have had 
ft |-ftrfvOt antipathy to oe-wo o-o<l ..•lover blo. comc 
ever since.” 
Henry laughed. “ Well, if you are so afraid of 
cowe, Amy need not go for them nor milk them 
to-night” 
Nelly knew they were langhtng at her again, 
and, looking up she saw a pair of magnificent 
eyes brimming with mirth fixed upon her; and 
her own eyes and cheeks burned until they 
pained her. As soon as she reached the house 
6be hurried away to her oim room to give vent 
to her outraged feelings. But Amy suspected 
her and quickly followed, to find her in tears. 
“This is too bad! Poor, tired Nelly ! I did 
not dream that I wu3 grieving you.” 
“ Oh t I do not mind you, Amy, nor your hus¬ 
band ! But the great overgrown brother, who 
don’t even speak to me, hut if he dared, would 
laugh at mo all the time—I don’t- like him one 
bit!” 
“ Oh! don’t say so Nelly! He is the kindest, 
best brother in the world; You must like him 
for our sakes. And no w I will tell you about onr 
arrangement here. We have a large farm, with 
none of it6 cares ; or, at least, I have none. The 
land is all rented to four men with Inmllies. 
You can can see their pretty cottages from the 
door, all built on the farm. Half the property 
belongs to Arthur; and ho lives with us as yon 
sec. We keep three servants; and they are ex¬ 
cellent, attending to everything that servants 
should attend to.” 
“But where are those great, hungry men you 
spoke of?” 
“Did yon not see them at table ? Henry and 
Arthnr! They are large, and usually hungry.” 
“ And the cows ? Was that, too, a joke on 
poor me?” 
“Yes, darling. I could not milk a cow any 
more than you could.” 
“ Well, 1 forgive you all; but that brother—I 
must punish him!” 
Well, come now; we must go down. Have 
yon any uew music ?” 
“Some, if,mamma has packed it. Do you 
know that I was only going to bring one dress ? 
But here is the music." 
They descended to the parlor. A liDe-toned 
piano was soon answering to the touch of Nelly, 
and in the music she soon forgot her previous 
annoyance. She was a superior performer, and 
on the rare instrument she surprised even her-

BY TOWNSEND HAINES, 
I oncb knew a plowman. Bob Fletcher his name. 
Who was old and was ngly, and so was his dame; 
Yet they lived quite contented, and free from all strife. 
Bob Fletcher, the plowman, and Judy, his wife. 
Ae the mom streaked the east, and the night fled 
away, 
They would rise np for labor, refreshed for the day; 
And the song of the lark, as it rose on the gale, 
found Boh at the plow and hie wife at the pail. 
And a neat little cottage in front of a grove, 
Where in youth they first gaye their young heartB up 
to love. 
Was the solace of age, and to them donbly dear, 
As it called np the past with a smile or a tear 
Each tree bad its thought, and the vow could impart 
That mingled in youth the warm wish of tho heart; 
The thorn was still there, and tho blossom it bore, 
And the song from its top seemed tho same as before. 
I have passed by bis door when the evening was gray, 
And the hill and the landscape were fading away, 
And I have heard from the cottage, with grateful sur¬ 
prise, 
The voice of thanksgiving, like incense, arise. 
And 1 thought on the proud, who would look down 
with scorn, 
On the neat little cottage, the grove and the thorn, 
And felt that the riches and tinsels of life. 
Were dross, to contentment, with Bob and his wife. 
HUMOROUS SCRAPS. 
“Pa,” said a lad to his father, “I often hear 
of people poor hut honest; why don’t they 
sometimes say rich hut honest?” “Tut, my 
60 n,” said the father, “nobody would believe 
them.” 
An Irishman was once brought up before a 
magistrate, charged with marrying six wives. 
The magistrate asked him how he could be so 
hardened a villain? “Please your worship,” said 
Paddy, “ I was ju6t trying to get a good one.” 
“Ike,” said Mrs. Partington, “how do they 
find out the difference between the earth and the 
sun ?” 
“Oh,” said the young hopeful, “they calcu¬ 
late a quarter of the distance, and then multiply 
by four.” 
Talleyrand Mas worried for his autograph, 
and to one of his persecutors he thus wrote; 
“Will you oblige me with your company to 
dinner on Wednesday night at eight o’clock ? I 
have invited quite a number of exceedingly 
clever persons, and do not want to be the only 
fool among them.” 
The following is a specimen of Western elo¬ 
quence :—“ Where is Enrope, compared to Amer¬ 
ica? Nou-har. They call England the mistress 
of the sea, but Mint makes the sea? Tho Miss¬ 
issippi makes it, and all we’ve got to do is to 
turn the Mississippi into the Mammoth Cave, 
and the English navy will be floundering in the 
mud." 
“ Saratoga and Newport—you've seen 'em,” 
Said Charley one morniDg to Joe, 
Pray tell me the difference between ’em, 
For bother my wig If I know.” 
Quoth Joe, “ 'Tis the easiest matter 
At once to distinguish the two: 
At one, you go into the water, 
At t’other it goes into you.” [8a*ee.
