Wells'( That «u the exciting question of debate before the Gossiptown "Ladies Mutual Improvement and Widow's Belief Society," at one of their weekly meetings. Now, Dr. Wells had been very attentive to Mrs. Jenkins for a number of months. He invariably walked home with her from church, had escorted her to • number of picnics and in many ways had evinced his partiality. And a• for the young and pret-2 widow, she did not appear to be at all (pleased with these attentions; on the contrary she received them with evident pleasure, so their marriage was considered as a settled thing by the infebitaota of Goesiptown in general, and the members of the "Ladies Mut Jal Improvement and Widows' Belief Society" in particular. So when they learned that he had suddenly disappeared, without telling where he was going, what he was going for, when he was coming baek, &c., &c., &c., all of which particulars they felt they had an undisputed right to know, and and without even bidding any of them good-bye, their astonishment and indignation were most intense. Strange and conflicting were their conjectures, and various the rumors that were thereby set afloat. Some said he bad been arrea'ed for high treason, some that he was a spy for the Confederate army, while others did not hesitate to say that he waa a bigamist, one of those wandering gentry who go from town to town, deceiving with their perfidious wiles the susceptible hearts of that confiding sex whose gullibility has become proverbial. But finally after due deliberation and careful consideration of all the proi and rows, the why's and wherefores, of the L. M I. and W. B. S., to wit, Misa Dorothy Wormwood, Miss Lovetalk, Mrs. PickfUw ind Mrs. Makefuss, tbey came to the unanmous conclusion "that this mysterious disippearanee waa occasioned by the rejection if D'.

At last by the dint of tease and flattery, irith which they plied her liberally, Hattie, fho was but a young giddy girl, and not a little elated at the Idea of being a person Df so much importance, was induced to promise that she would ask Mrs. Jenkins »hy she had refused Dr. Wells, for that ihe refused him they were fully convinced, tnd duly report her reply. Hattie had hardly left the house, before ihe heartily regretted the promise that she tad so thoughtlessly made, but aa she had given her word she determined to redeem So the next morning she set out upon ier errand.
