r Ojr dear, such a dread- [ 
Ini thing bus happen¬ 
ed ! What can he 
done? For myself, I 
can hardly be com- T^ V - 
posed a minute at a 
times 
Katie, the little 
maiden who has done 
the light work in my . ^ 
house for a year and a- 
hall, has met with an tK plS i 
accident—and such an 
accident! Perhaps I g. X 
should not call it an 
accident. ^ But, dear 
For several months 
Katie lias lmd a fol- jCit jT V/i PF 
lower, Patrick Me f 
GuniE, — a steady, 
honest-going man, a 
bricklayer by trade, j | 
and saving liis money, 
Early in the ■winter T| 
Mickey Mulligan 
used to come; blit. <- 
Mickey was not, I 
feared, very steady; at 
.•ill events, he was not 
very well beforehand, 
an<l so K atie conclud- ' 
ed to give him up, and N :<-• A A )|P 
encourage Patrick — |lMir| 1 j 
and now conics the 
Last evening—Sun- p |il r P7 
day evening—the Bish- v >1 
op being here, some H I 
eight or ten couple ■' IHmH 
were anxious to avail 
themselves of the bon- ____ 
or of having the mar¬ 
riage knot tied by his 
blessed hands. Pat- - - - - 
rick McGuire had this same inclination, 
and persuaded Katie that as she had a new 
delaine dress, there was no possible objection. 
The opportunity of being married by the 
Bishop appeared every hour to rise in value, 
and at. the last moment, Mickey Mulligan 
and Maggie— for Mickey had tinned to 
Maggle Cassidy immediately upon Katie’s 
giving him the cold shoulder—concluded to 
lie married too. The ceremony was to take 
place at six o’clock in the evening. 
The Bishop must have been in basic—per¬ 
haps lie was to dine out a little later—but, 
the candidates for matrimony being assem¬ 
bled before him, he considered it as well to 
read the service once for all, as to make a 
separate affair for each couple. 
Now the first I knew but that all had gone 
on well, this morning in rushes Bridget, the 
cook, dragging in Katie. 
“ Oh, Miss Smith ! Miss Smith !—here has 
happened such an awful thing! Last night 
at the marrying! — and such a crowdin’ 
of people in the church, nud the great 
Bishop!—and there was a crowdin’ and 
a push in' all round I—and Patrick, you 
see, ma’am, tvas a standin’ tip by Katie 
— and Dennis McGowan himself was a 
crowdin’—and he gave Patrick a push- 
ami by the holy Saint Jemima, as I’m alive, 
got in a crowd—and when the Father, the 
great. Bishop, said to catch hold of hands— 
by the powers—and Mickey got hold of 
Katie’s hand—because lie had stood up ]>y 
her—and lie catohed hold of Katie’s hand 
instead of Maggie’s— and then the great 
Bishop said all of a sudden that they was 
man and wives 1” 
Katie stood by as calm as a May morn¬ 
ing, while Bridget, all out of breath, told 
these particulars. 
“ Why, Katie ! ” I said, “ what do you 
mean ? For mercy sake! The Bishop pro¬ 
nounced you man and wife, and Mickey 
was holding your hand.” 
“ Yes, ma’am.” 
“ Why, mercy, Katie ! I am afraid you 
are really married to Mickey.” 
“ Yes, ma’am,” said Katie, in a gentle 
tone. 
“ Well, but wliat can be done ? Where is 
Patrick ?” 
“ Patrick went home, ma’am, right when 
the marrying was over,” saicl Bridget. 
“ What did lie say ?” 
“ Shurc, ma’am, and nobody speaked to 
him.” 
“And Maggie?” 
“ Well, nui’am, you see as Maggie cried 
at first, and then she said as she didn’t care 
at all about it, and she went over to Judy 
Rooney’s party, and she danced and she 
pringled; and when she went home—may 
the saints bless us!—and she had a follower ” 
“Why, Katie, this is a very serious 
tiling.” 
“ Yes, ma’am,” said Iyatte, still so calm. 
“ Dear me! dear uie! I wish, for my own 
part, I could feel as easy as Katie seems to; 
but, oli, my! such an accident! and I am 
sure I don’t know which way to turn to get 
it straightened.”

MEETING OF THE COUSINS. 
[See Illustration,] 
City Cousin, —Why! is this Cousin Maria, 
(looking her over from top to toe,) who in¬ 
vited me to her father’s charming country 
villa (elevating her eyes to scan its architec¬ 
tural features) to spend the warm weather? 
Country Cousin. —Yes, 1 am Maria ; and 
are you my Cousin Flora ? (surveying the 
baggage and costume with some incredulity.) 
Are you really the daughter of Uncle Tim, 
who lost nil his money on the gold market 
that terrible “Black Friday” 1 read about 
in the papers ? 
Country Aunt (solil .)—1 declare! What 
soi l of a being is that for us to wait upon 
this summer? And where shall we put 
thom trunks? Why, they arc as big as the 
best bed-room 1 O dear, dear me! Can 
that lie Tj.u's child ? 
Her blue eyes searched the colored map 
Ol' Europe spread upon her lap. 
For my second's curves—a ri ver small — 
Except this one, slic’d found them all— 
When with a movement short and quick, 
My first Jumped up and Van to lick 
With rough, red tongue, but air so bland, 
Jane's rosy lips and lit tle hands. 
Hut this, my tltiril, caused her much fright, 
At which papa did laugh outright, 
ller brothers joined in merry glee, 
While mamma sue led the cause to see. 
“ Vou rogue 1“ cried Jane, her fright gone by, 
“To Jump up in my lap and try, 
To coax and tease by kissing me, 
To put by I Kicks and tend to thee.” 
Then smoothing down her velvet fur, 
And listening to her grateful pur, 
Jane found the river in that laud 
Where lakes lie ’mong the mountains grand, 
Whore falls niy whole o’er ledges steep, 
While pines above It seem to weep— 
Ail these she hoped to see some day, 
Ami mnaluff thus lime Hew away.
