'.SEVENTEEir.
"Never mind,'my deare'«t Snippy," heart-rending'appeals to laco up dresses! said the ypang lady, bonsblingly; " if' ho Greta, arrayed in a cherry-colored crape> win not let you pull it, -I will do it for with her brown eyes softly shining under you." So saying, Miss Greta arose and. their long lashes, and her wavy, brown gave chase to Master Tom, who, in  es' j hair falling low on her neck, was as pret-
TiiEiin is a certain country-seat in York Stale, but esacily whereabouts I " dinua cire to tell." It is a lovely Spot, kept in such good order that it is a delight to walk over the smooth lawn or down the gr.iV died avenue. Tlie house is long and low, with awidepiaziiiiu front, covered with Virginia creeper and odorous Maderia vino. Or. ono side of thehouse, at the foot of a sloping grove of maple tree.3, is a .¦.parkling brook, bordered thickly by stun¬ ted willows; tho ^\-ator dashes under a rustic bridge, tumbles laughingly over a jittle mimic dam, and then, quite subdued by ils fall, flowson-gently tlir.iugh a mead¬ ow. On the other sido of tho houso is a great oldfishioned gnrden ; the straight alleys, so long that the3' tippr to a point in the distance, are shaded by lilac and snow-biU bushes, and here and therewith e.xact regularily are bunches of box, of which tho childreu have made arm chairs. The giirden is full of brightly blooming flowers—peonies, delicious day-lilies, and many, many roses. Then thero are hon¬ eysuckle arbors, and one great elm tree whose long, graceful branches droop down to the very ground.
The place is called Brooksidc, and tho owner is Howard Brooke, a genlleman farmer. Mr- Brooke is the best farmer and tha best neighbor in all tho country round. He is the soul of good nature, and a most indulgent father; in fact, a too in¬ dulgent faiher; for there was liis pretty daughter Greta, who was seventeen years old, and had never been to any but a vil. lage schQOi until a couple of years ago.— She is married now to a rich New York¬ er, .and makes a very funny, dignified lit¬ le madame. Ifc is of her I intend to write I f there ever was a pretty, romping, spoiled child, it was Greta Brooke at seventeen. She completely managed her father and mother, and was the worshipped idol of her four brothers. An only sister, her will ^ras law to the boys; and she, never hav¬ ing had any girl companions, played their boyish games, rode and drove gay horsss, and, in fact, was ono of them. One morning, late in summer.Mr. Brooke stood by his toilet tablo engaged in tha arduous task of shaving. His wife sat^by tbe open window, rocking in a rather mournful manner; she seemed in deep •and somewhat troubled thought; at last, shesaid, with a sigh—
"Did you know Uiat Grela was seven¬ teen l.ist Monday, Mr. Brooke ?"
Mr. Brooke suid, " So, I did not," very pleasantly, and coniinued the delicate op¬ eration of shaving his upper lip.
".Seventeen," continued Mrs. Brooke, wilh anolher sigh, '• and sho knows nolh ing that a young lady ought to know.— Si)e is a vory good companion for Tom and tho restof the boys; buthow would she appear by tho side of other girls?"
" Rather hoydonish, I fear," said Mr.
Biooke, v.-:th a dismal shake of the head.
" I i'ear to, indeed," answered his wife.
Thero was a pause.   Mr. Brooka slowly
wiped his r.T-ior and put th.i strop iulo its
c-.ise.   ifrs. Brooke rocked backwards and
ibrwai'Js v;ith unusual energy. Alhibt she
ventured lo hint that it would be woll for
Giota to go to a boarding-school.     Mr.
"Brooko had evidently been thinking the
same thing ; but he said—
"She never would consent to go."
" Reason wilh her, Mr. B., poiut out to
her tho necessity for going, and  I Ihink
she will see it herself: she is agirl of great
good sense."
" Why dou't yijH re.ison wilh her, my dear?" mildly asked tlie gentleman,
" Well, you knowjust how it is; she can coax mo out .of anylhing," said Mrs- Brooke,  helplessly.
Mr. B. said nolhing, but he thought he was no more proof against,the coaxing than his wife. He put on a iinen coat as the finishing touch to his toilet, and then came and stood by her side .and looked thoughtfully out upon tlic lawn.
"I havo Ihought ofa plan," at lengih ho said. " It will, at any rate, do no harm to try it, and that is fo .innounco at the breakfast-table this morning that the boarding-school atfair is a settled thing. ¦ Tcrhaps ooming unexpectedly, Greta will make no diilieulty,"
Mrs. Brooke looked doubtful, but she acquiesced.
Miss Greta, in tho mean time, sat in th,, broad, cool front hall, lazily playing with her little "black and tan,".and  entirely unconscious of the plot forming overhead. "Wo are hungry. Snip, ain't we?" she said, sweetly, twciking the dog's cars. Snip answered by an assenting yslp. " And why don't our papa andpiamma come down to breakfast. Snip?   It is an hour since I got up.   Too bad^ ain't it." Snip twitched his tail impatieully, and growled a low acquiescence.
" That is the Grossest cur itwas ever my luck to meet with," said a youth, who lay at full lengih on tho iloor with a hat over his face.
"And who .asked your opinion, sir? Snippy, pull his."
The dog made a rush and a grab, and was rewarded by being caught by tho tail by Master Tom, and twisted round and round with such swiftness that, when at last released, poor Snip tottered baok to bis mistress in a forlorn and wretched (onditioa.
peclationof this continuation of IheafiUir, stood prepared. Muoh scrambling and laughing, yelping and barking -ensued, which was only interrupted by the an¬ nouncement of breakfast.
Greta and Tom, now joined by Billy, and Sam, and Frank, tore into the break¬ fast-room, and took Iheir places in their usual not very quiet manner.
Mr..Brooke proceeded with his break¬ fast, every moment thinking he would communicate tho dreadful news thenext. Many times he gavo a preparatory " Ahem," and onco he even got so far as "My daughter, I have deoided that"— but, alas, it ended with " I have decided that—I will take anolher chop ;" and he passed Greta his plate, never daring to meet the eyes of his wife, who sat behind the coffee urn with idle hands, and a per¬ fectly hopeless expression settled upon her face.
Breakfast was almost over; it must como now or never !
" Ahera!" said Mr. Brooke once more, and this time with greal. dntfirniination ; '.'Greta, my daughter you oannot even play * Yankee Doodle* upon tho piano, can you?"
"7\o, but I cm sing," said Miss Grfila.
"Now I Ihink," said Mr. Brooke, con- ciliatingly, and looking toward his wifo for encouragement, " that a young lady of seventeen years of .age ought to be able to play on the piano, and d.inco, too, for that matter; and even, perhaps, speak a litlle Frencb."
Mrs. Brooke nodded approvingly.
Miss Greta's pearly mouth w.is quite wido open with astonishment at tbis very unusual address, aud wilh expectation of what was to como.
•' In fact," said Mr. Brooke, wilh a de¬ sperate effort, "I have concluded that CJreta must go to a bo.irding-school."
Here there was a dreadful yell from tho four boys and .Snip; and Tompkins, tho waiter, slipped out of the room to tell tho stunning tidings iu tho kitchen.
" She shan't go—she .shan't go !-"' bsl- loweil tho boys
" Bow-wow ov,--ow I" yelpedSnip.
" Why, 1 should liko il of all things,' eaid tho doomed ono, wilh sparkling eyes.
" Xo, would you, my precious girl ?" said her father. " 1 was horribly afraid you would object."
" How sweet in you, dear!" said her mother, pouring out a oup of coffee for herself—her first—with a relieved mind.
The boys still kept up a subdued howl, and refused to be comforted.
Preparations wcro made in great haste, and Miss Greta and her papa look Iheir seals in the cars within u week after the momentous decision.
Miss Greta ensconced herself by tlie window and put her father's portmanteau under her little feet by the way of foot¬ stool, and snoozed away llie time until they reached Xew York. To say that her heart did not beat more  quickly   than
usual as they drove up to Madame C 's
would not be true; but she w.is a brave girl, and bore the introduction lo tho prinoipal and to a few of the boarders wilhout flinching; and bade her father " Goodby," and commended Snip to his tender mercies without a falter in her
voice.
Her first week was rather irksome.— Thero are pleasanter things in the world than learning one's notes and steps; and, besides, for my part, I heartily pity any poor girl entering a school where she is entirely unacquainted, and where she is put inlo aroom with twenly other girls to make her way with them as best she can. But it was not long before Greta was prime favorite; and I am forced to confess that the girls who had been mod¬ els of propriety before she came are now, incitad bj. her example, frequently invi¬ ted to Madame C's room. .1 wish to an" nounce hero that I entirely disapprove of these samo polite liltlo invitations. Two years ago, I was in boarding-shool myself. Was I agood gill? I leave you to judgo. I know I was f ivored with a privale audi- wilh tho principal on an average of three limes a week. Ono of the 5cra;vny teach¬ ers would giro her warning tap at tlio door, opeu ic before we said " Como in," and deliver herself thus: " Madame de¬ sires Miss Hidsoy will uome into her par¬ lor at once." Pitying glances would bo cast upon mo by tho girls, and I, with perfect nonchalance (I was ioo accustom¬ ed to it to be discomposed), would saun ter down to Madame's parlor, receive hor leclure and threat ol dismissal, and return to my room no holler thau wlieu I left il.
Before t-.vo monllis had naiscd, Grcta'.s papa aud mamma never would  havo re¬ cognized their daughter ; and 1 am  ooi>- vinced tho boy.s would not have dared lo approach within  ten   feet of lior, much less kiss ami pull her about.   .Such a fasli^ ionaUe iitllo Ihing that sho w-is.'   In the afternoon's walk down  lho avenue, Miss Greta W.1.S d,-!cidcdly tho "showgirl."— She had sueii .1 <Iaiiily, elegant liltlo way wilh her, that she w.is quito the admira¬ tion of  the young gentleman  loungers and tandem drivers on lho ..Vvenue.    At church, she was in hor element; no girl could be so gracefully devotional; no girl could uso her haudkerchief -.viih half Ihe elfect; no girl   could  bo apparently so completely unconscious of the numerous eyes in thegallery. Madame G. wasrtally proud of her in church, and took occasion every Sund.iy to express her approval of her  mnnner, which   she   declared was comme un nitt/c.
In the scat in front of Grela, there sat a gentleman whoso opinion entirely coin cided wilh Madame's; not that he ex- i pressed his admiration in any obtrusive mannor, for he was a widower, and wid¬ owers are universally undemonstrative. Indeed, bo kept his opinion so completely to himself, that Greta herself was total¬ ly- unaware of it.
Sunday after Sunday, he entered his pew oarly, and waited impatiently for tho rus¬ tle of Miss Greta's beflounced dress, and the little velvet, gilt-edged prayer-book she so industriously flourished became at- tonisbingly familiar.
But, indeed, she was a good little thing alter all, and said her prayers most earn¬ estly. Occasionally, her conscience was burdened with the fact that she had waved her handkerchief or kissed her hand to some ardent admirer as he walk¬ ed slowly past her window, and the next day she would bo so extraordinarily good fo "pay for it," thatshe could not oveu bo induced to glance at tho same young gent as ho walked past pgain and again in hopes of receiving another favor.
At the closo of tho year there was to be a grand soiree mus'icalc cLdramatlquc. 01 course Mile. Brooke was to take promi¬ nent parts; and her proud papa and mamma camo on to New York to attend the ioircc, and bo.ir ofif their trnly accom plished daughter.
The evening camo at last. Such a trus- tle and bustle as thero was in the dormi- toriei! such entreaties for pins! eaoh
ty an object as ono would wish to see: and her appearance on the little stage as a coquettish young Parisienne was greet¬ ed with loud applause. -And, indeed, she acted well—wilh so much grace, with so much delicacy, and yet with so much ef¬ fect.
The afTair went off with echit. Madame C. was delighted with all her scholars, and graciously acceded to many applications for introductions from enamored young men. Grela was surrounded, and only now and then got a chance to run to her father and mother and make hurried in¬ quiries for "Tom and the boys" and "Snip."
Towards the end of tho evening, when the band was at full blast, and the young people engaged in tho delights of the " German," Madame C. oame up to Greta and whispered that she wanted her to leave the dance as soon as possible, for there was a gentleman begging an intro¬ duction, and " one you onght to know," continued Madame, with a tap on Greta's whito shoulder; "he is a great parrt'."— Grata inwardly cried "Bather '." took one more turn with her disconsolate partner, to whom she had communioated Ma¬ dame's request, and" then walked slowly towards that ladj% anything but ready to play the affable to the desirable gentlo¬ man.
There ho slood, tal! and dignified. Ma¬ dame C. was t.ilking in her animated French way, her gloved h.ind gracefully gesticulating. Grela leisurely approach¬ ed. "Ah, hera is the <lcmoiscl/c," exclaim¬ ed Madame. "M'lle Brooke, I havo the honor to present to you Mr. Maxwell."
"Mr. Ma.xwell," murmered Grela, with a quick bend, and in a rather frottish tone; and then she looked up and met Mr. Max^ well's eyes—faultless eyes 1
Mr. Maxwell made her a gravo bow, and passed somo quiet compliments upon her acting.
"I lim glad to know that my poor eilbrts met with your ajiproval," said Greta, with iiroat dignity. ;   ^ ^-!';rj,
"My warmest approval, I .issura" you,'?: s.iid the gentleman, not looking at-all snubbed. "3I:iy I ask if you contiuue with Madame C, another year ?" - t'}• ;t' "Xo," answered Greta; "I am most happy to say that my sohool d.iys are over."
"Perhaps some day you will regret that they were so short," said he.     .-
"I nevor expect to," said Grela, indif¬ ferently, and looking longingly throngh the vista of rooms to whero tho "German" dancers were whirling in some intri- oal.? figure. There, leaning against the w.-.li, slood her quondam partner looking wretched to a degree. Sho tapped-her foot in time to the brilliant galop, and looked so bored and rfisfraifc, tbat her companion toolc pity on her, aud offered to relurn her to her partner.
"0. if you please," said Greta, eagerly, and looking brightly up into his face for tlic first time.
lie laughed a little; he oould not have felt vory much complimented.
"On lhn condition," hes,iid, "that you give me one turn first.".
"Wilh pleasure," was her answer, and tbey wen't lo .i.o ball-room.
0 that ga,'u,i, "Mai Blumerl" T could dance to it forever.
Mr. Maxwell was a perfect dancer, and Grela found herself wisiiing that he had asked for more than "one turn;" but ho resigned her .to the wretched young raan who had glared with jealousy as he saw Grela borne offby another, and was now mado supremely happy once more.
Madame 0. whispered fo Greta, as she bade her good night, "You have gained a triumph, chcrie: Mr. Maxwell hasnot danced since his wife's deatfa. He used to be the best dancer in Xew York."
Tbo Brookes wcre going toVfest Point. Thoy went up the river by boat; and, by the by, how rauch pleasanter it is to doso in summer?  On a steamboat you  iind everybody good-natured and obliging.— Badies sit  contentedly   on   deck,   with spread skirts and opeu'parasols ;  gontlo¬ inen group together sociably,  and smoke to their heart's content.     While in the cars, ladies look worn out and dusty, their laps crowded wilh bags, bundles, and ba¬ bies;    their thoughts running miserably upon that disagreeablo woman in   front, or that whiskey-smelliug Irishman   bo; hind.   Gentlemen aro <:ross and sleepy, and do nothing but wander back and forth trom the smoking ear to thoir scats ; snd if abused by their wives for smelling o' lobacco, look savage insloati of penitent. The Brookes ciijayed their trip ama¬ zingly, and look pleasant rooms at lloc's Miss Grela, .is can i.o ini.igineil,  was a great belle at tho Point.     Uer time was ftlll/ occupied by her half dozen !l irtalions' which there it is very ea.sy io keep up at once.     (.Ine cadet would get a  "permit" for tllo aftornoon and cali for Mis..; Greta to walk, and they wonld saunter ronnd flirtation walk,  and sit under the trees (cadets are univer.^ally susceptible).   On their return,  the poor fellow would go back lo camp in a desperate condition-— In lhe evening another ono would have a permit, and he would sit with Miss Greta on Ibe pi.i7.7.a  till  tattoo beat,  and then lear himself away atthe last moment, ami rush olf in tbe same bad state as -the afore¬ said unfortunate.
And at "hops" it would be useless to try and count the hearts that Greta broke- Her fathor laughed, and her mother scold¬ ed a little; and G rela would say, with perfect inncceuoe: "Why, mamma, what have I done?"
Ooe evening, as Miss Greta entered the drawing-room on some devotee's arm, .she heard a voieo tbat sounded slightly fami¬ liar^ Turning hastily, she saw it was Mr. Maxwell, who was talking languidly with a dashing young lady. And tho dashing young lady looked perfectly happy with —and not a little x^roud of that gentle¬ man's attentions. '
Mr. Maxwell looked up, caught Greta's' eye, bowed low with a smile, and resumed his conversalion wilh more, animation.— All that evening ho had not got near Gre¬ at ; and, to tell the truth, she felt a little piqued. After his great desire to obtain an introduction to her in New York, it was not very complimentary that he should appeor satisfied with what he saw of her there, and mako no effort to con¬ tinue the acquaintance. And that night, when Mrs. Brooke went, as usual, to her daughter's -room, and happened to re¬ mark : "By the way, dear, did I not soo that Mr. Ma.xwell in tho parlor.i this eve¬ niug V'.I am sorry to say that Sliss Gret¬ a's "Yes" was rathor snappish.
In the morning, however, as sho sat in Ihe p.irlor at the piano, drumming at scraps of redowas and galops, Mr. Mr- well camo up^to her, and, after a brief "Good-morning," .isked her to continuo her playing.
"My musical education is not complete," ahe said: "I do not play well enough for exhibition yet."_.
He did not urge her, said "Ah !" indif¬ ferently, and after another moment loung¬ ed away;
. " Horrid man'." said Greta, as she marched up stairs; and, stratige to say, from that time Miss Greta was as anxious to obtain Mr. Maxwell's notice as she had been before to get rid of it. ' The "horrid man," seemed to destroy all her pleasure; sbecould not waltz with out noticing how much better he waltzed than the mau she was with; she could not promenade the piazza in the evening^ or go into the parlor in the morning, with¬ out noticing how devotedly he was bend¬ ing over some pretty girl: she couldnot lakeany comfort ih her flirtations, becauso the fact would continually obtrude itself that he was handsomer than the very handsomest of her flirters.
Greta's admirers continued as devoted as ever, and one evaning, as she was walk¬ ing with one of them, tho poor wretch made a most passionate declaration, and entreated her to engage herself to him.— Greta was dreadfully distressed, and an¬ swered in the w.iy tbat young ladies are always supposed to do on like occasions, deolared she did not love him, could not love him, and had no idea he thought of her except as a frieud. Then the Miss turned round and made the best of hor way back lo the hotel, bado the disconso, late youth a kind good-by at the door, and started to run up to her room. But she was stopped by a bevy of girls who insist¬ ed that she should go with them to the parlors; "th.;;y wero going to have a dance all lo tbemseives, not a man admitted." She triod to beg off, but it was useless, and Miss Nannie Fletcher claimed her as her partner, nnd dragged hor into the room.
Poor Greta really felt badly : she did not-intend lo break anybody's hearten vcr'ilc, and she readily saw that the young cadet waa in perfect earnest nnd .very much itl lovo. :
¦VHer'dancing was, therefore,' rather in- I aiiimate and called down the criticisms of tliejgirls.,   I

Greto gazed in amazement—"How did you know?" sbo asked.
"Know," says Flora Cox, "why, every girl has dozens every summer; cadets are always proposing."
"1 had one from red-headed litlle Smithy walking buck from bmd-practice.to-day,"- said one of the girls. '.¦'.¦'..
"But I really thoughthe was in earnest,'- said Greta, piteously, "and I was feeling so sorry." '      ';: ';
"Well, so he w.as in earnest," soid-Nan¬ nie Fletcher ; "but you have only been here a couple of ffoeks, and don't know tbat before the season is half over he will be just as much in earliest wilh some other girls."
"Yes," pul in Flora C.iX "but if you hadiioeeptcd bim ho y,'ould have loved you forevor, army officers are so constant. I accepted Frank Willia,ms this morning.'/ " 'He're all the girls clustered around Jliss Cox to bo informed of the circumstances; and Greta made her escape, somewhat en lightened upon the subject of Wost Point flirtations.
If you doubt this little account. Miss, spend next summer at tbe Point, and see for yourself. Why, it must necessarily be so. Let as many girls go there as will and there are slill half a dozen cadets to each girl; and, poor mortals (the cadets, I mean)! they sludy and worlc. hard all the long winter without ever, scarce¬ ly, seeing a pretty face; so, when tho summer conips and Ihcy are camping out, and the place is crowded ¦ with pleasure- seekers, they very naturally fall in lovo witn thefirst prelly girl that smiles sweet ly upon them.
Thehearly, genial Mr. Bi-ooko was a fa¬ vorite with every one. It v.-as a real pleas¬ ure to meet him, his faoft always smiling— his gi-eeting always so cordial. Uo was hand inglov.rwilh evory m.m allhePoint, and ireated the cadets as if they v/ere in¬ dividually ills own sons.
In the afternoon.'} Mr. I'rcjkcan'l his wife wereaccusloniod to drivo out: Ihey drove a light two.-seatcd b;u'0uche, :iiid al¬ ways Ulled the vacant places wilh somo of the yi-.ung peopio. Mrs. Brooke would walk slowl-y Ihrough the halis and parlors, and the ones that looked a lillla pale wcr" sure to bo tho ones favored. Uer leiidei' heart ached tit seeing a palo face among, so many blooiniug ones.
Oao aflernoon, jusl beloro tho lime lo start, a gentleman carae up lo Jfr. Brooke and invited liim tojoin a v.-hist party in his room. Tho templation w.is loo great to bo resisted; -so Mr. Brooke told his daughter that sho might drive in his stead, and went oil'wilh his friend. Jfany oflhe loungers on tho b.ilcony opened liieir oyes wide in horror at the very idea ; but Greta received the permission with so muoh nonohalanoo lhat others wero quite lost in admiration.
The caiTiago was brought around, and Nannie Fielcher and Flora Cox sprang gaily into the back seat. Tbpotber young hidy, who had been invited upou the slrenglh of lier sallow face, declared for a limo that she would not .lare lo go il Grelawas going to drive; but Greta, who was never very renowned for patience, cried out, rather crossly,- and in nota ladylike manner, " If you are coming, oome on ; if not, stay where you are."— This deoided the matter, and tho nervous Miss Thompson decided to "comoon."
The horses were gay, but Greta man¬ aged them wilh so muoh skill ns well as grace that there wasa murmur of apphiuse as they disappeared down tberoad. They drove on in fine style fora few miles, the girls in the baok seat having a glorious good time. Greta was toler.ibly quiet; the horaes were spirited, and claimed all her attention. Tho nervous young ladi' sat trembling besido her, uttering pro¬ longed exclamations of terror every ¦ time tha horses pricked their oars or danced a little. The road was fine' and as thay bowl, od swiftly along the horses seemed to grow more excited. Greta's hand and eye wore ou the elert, and overything in tho road, or by the roadside, that would tend to frighten the animals she carofuUy.avoided. " We!!, Greta Brooke, you do driveaplen- didly," cried ont Flara Cox, in genuine admiration.
The young lady so complitnented look¬ ed pleased, but deolared (as young ladies always will)that she was dreadfully out of praotioe; Had not driveu a span since she left homo almost ayear before.
"I shonld have Ihought you had been brought up in a livery stable," aiiid funny Miss Fletcher.
Here thero was a giggle from all except Miss Timidity in front, who begged Greta, iu an imploring tone, to look out for that horseman coming, as he was riding so fast ' t might start tbeir horses. Greta gave a contemptuous " Pshaw I"
The rider rapidly approached; btit, as he neared them. Blackened bis speed and- glanced wonderfully at the- occupants of the carriage, and then bowing, as he recog- ni;'.ed them all as acquaintances, passed on.
" Mr. Maxwell. How well he rides," said Miss '^Jox.
Greta twitched tho reins, and gave an impatient li ttio' touch with the whip to the oflT horse-
" Don't do that," entreated the girl be¬ side her, " they'll run away next end dash us all to pieces."
The animals were trotting very swiftly and as they turned suddenly round a cor¬ ner the pull on tho reins wasso great that ifc requirod all of Grofca's strength to hold them, and when they were onoe more on the straight road her right wrist pained her so muoh she found she had sprained it. She bore it without a word, and drove as well as she could with her left hand ; she tnrned the horses' heads, however, to¬ wards home, and soothed~them with her voice till they quieted their pace. Her wrist begau to pain her expressively, and sho felt very faint. Fiora Cox, leaning over to speaic to her, noticed her extreme pallor: " What is the matter V she asked, quicklj-, very much frightened.
" jS'otiiniB;-'fif">''^'wnis-p5h.i3 sraca;- "I sprained my wrist a'li'tile—and"—she oould say no more; sho swayed in her seat, and-then foil back into the carriage. - Miss Cox seized the reins from her hand, and managed to stop the horses. At this moment Mr. MaxweU w.is seen at some distance, fortunately approaching. Miss Nannie waved her handkerebief as a sig-^ nal of distress, and the gentleman instant¬ ly noticing tho signal galloped toward thom, Ilo sprang off his horse, and giv¬ ing the bridle to Nannie to hold, ran around to tho side of the carriage where Greta lay perfectly unconscious., '•What has caused this ?" he asked, anx-
touly.
. "She sprained her wrist, itseems," saul Miss Cox' "I did not khow it till a min¬ ute ago. As 1 was sp6.iking to her sho looked so very pale, I .isked har whatail- cd her; sho said something about sprain¬ ing her wrist, and then just fainted offso.' Hero the nervous young l.idy mado as if sho was going to faint, too ; "but was in¬ stantaneously restored by Nannie Fletcher remiirking lhat if siio fainted Ihey would have to leave her by. the roadside till they took Greta home, as there was not room in tho carriage for two swooning individ- .uals, and."flrst como first served." . Mr. Maxwell's faco w.as almost as white as Greta's.
-. " H is a wonder you were not run away with," said he, as be lifted Greta from tho carriage and laid her on the ttirf, with h...r head in Miss Cox'slap, until lie .arranged ;lbe cushions more conveniently. "I am surprised that Mr. Brooko .fan so impru¬ dent as lo allow his daughter to drivo such a pair of horses!"
";"Shc is accustomed to driving, I be¬ lieve," said Nannie, apologetically.
"Thatis no excuse in my opinion," said Mr. Maxwell, seriously; " the idea of a child like that driving a sp.in, itwouldbe all thatl eould do to.hold !"
Kc took his horse from Nannie, and ty¬ ing it lo the fence, bade Miss Co.x and Miss Thompson sil behind and support Greta; and Miss Fle,icher sil beside-him.in frontl They drove olfgontly; the motion seemed to revive Greta somewhat: " Where am I? What is it?" she murmured. "Keep slill darling ; everything is right,'.' I
- "Bat I hate to have a servant behind,'^ said Greta in something lifcd her old pet. tish totie, ''it is suoh a restraint !"
"Eather than risk your life," commenc¬ ed Mr. Maxwell; he was not allowed to finish, however, for Miss Nannie Fletch¬ er had come to the conclusion that they had talked long enough, so sha spread the nows of Greta's presence in tho par¬ lor, and quita a little crowd now gather¬ ed around her. Mr. Maxwell yielded his seat by the young lady to soma eager ca¬ det, and betook himself to his own room and his mereschaum.
The season was more than half over, Mr, Brooke longed for his home, his hors¬ es, and his boys. Mrs. Brooke spoke of returning to her daughter, who ma'de no objeotio.is, and so it was oonoluded to go.
Greta was now perfectly" and more in demand than ever ; tho cadets raved about her; she was so full of fun, and as wild at timos as an untamed colt. She rode on horseback every day with her father close at hand as a protection from all mishaps. She would race up to the hotel on her return from these rides—her eyes sparkling, her lovoly hair balf tum- ling down, her cheeks as red as roses— and would look triumphantly Jback at ner fattier, who would be puffing away on a hard trot somo distance oft'. Mr. Ma.x- well was always near at their returns, and lifted the pretty creature ofif her horse, and watched her gravely as she sprang up the steps into tho houoo, l,er dark habitgathered full into both white hands. Sometimes he rodo with them ; but if h'e did;; Greta was suro to bo cantering on ahead all the time ; and would reach home a little in advance, and jump off her horse without assistance—she seem¬ ed so shy of him.
When her mother proposed going home, Greta v.'as glad ofit. The continued excitement had wearieil her, and besides, her proud little heart,' rebelled ' against
tl»o   lore  .rhIcU ah<i CvutiO.~--\rtiil   growing
within-her. "He. thinks, mo only a child,". She wo'uld say. to hersolf fifty times a day, and so avoid him. _
I will not attempt'to describe th'e mis¬ ery with which the • news of Greta's in¬ tended departure was received ; nor the broken hearted depression which settle- ed upon a score of youtli when that sad e'veut aotually took place. Miss Flora Cox and Miss. Nannio Fletcher, made themselves look liko frights by crying all of one afternoon, and appearing at tho tea table with very red eyes. However. Cadet Frank Williams soon.' comforted the ono ; and the other one was proba¬ bly soothed by another of. the s.ime jm- /rc._ ¦ ¦'¦"'   ¦  •  ¦
Mr. Maxwell accom'panied the Brookes to the boat, and reoeived the' last Hulter of Miss Greta's handkerchief took as his figurewas no more discernablu to the young lady !
Allhough I would not rend your hearts hy'describing the de.pavture from West Point, I will gladly tell of the return to Bi'ookside-how at the gate they were mst hy four great boj-s, a little scramb¬ ling head-over-!ieels dog,- and innumera¬ ble quanlities of darkies. And how the boys dragged thoir sister from the cai:. .riage, and almost smoothed her with kisses; and how Snipo gavepno bound, and reached his miistrfSSB-'ss arm.s and licked her face in pure delight.
In a few days they had settled down to their own life, except that Greta was, to the great disgust of the boys, much subi
"But I do ! was the naive and very satisfactory reply.
Mr. Brook's threat of three years, dwin¬ dled down to tiiree months ; at the end of whioh time thera was arousing wedding at Brookside, and Mr. Maxwell carrie.d off his little wifeaud installed her mistress of his New York homo. The iast time I saw her (for she is a great friend of mine and ws visit eternaly ) she was seated on the floor in her dressing- room teaching Snip how to make a bow. And Mr. Maxwell was lying on a lounge near by, highly anjoying the   operation.
M.vx-iGiXG ,v HusD-iXD.—" How do you manage your husband, Mrs. Croaker ? Such a job as Ihave of it with Smith.
"Easiest thing in tha world, my dear; give him a twitch backward when you want him to go forward. For instance, you see, to-day I had a loaf of cake to make.
" Well, do you suppose beoause my body is in the pastry rootn, my soul ueed bo there too? Not a bit of it. I am thinking of all sorts of celestial things all the while
Now, Croaker has a way^f tagging round at my heels, and bringing ma plump down in the midst of my aerial flights, by asking me tho price of stigar X am using. - ...Woll, you. see, it drivpe mo frantic; and when I woke up this morning, and saw yiis furious slorm, I knew I had him on my hands for theday, unless 1 maiag- ed right; so I told him.that I lioped ho wouldn't go out lo catch his death this we.ither: tliat ifhe was notoaptble of tak¬ ing care of himself, I shOuiuau iu»o. .-.„, that it was very lonesome rainy days, and that I wanted him toslay home, and talk with me; at any rate he mustn't go out, and I hid his umbrella and India-rubbsrs. Well, of coi-se ho was riglit up, (just as I expected!-) and in less than ten minutos was streaking down the street at the rate of ten miles an hour.

said Flora, soothingly, laying her hand on^ dued Indeed; she was ao very grave aiidnr-
her head.
Greta closed her eyes and s lid no more lill they reached the hotel. At that hour there were uot many pebple on the gal- j lery, and, consequently, thero was very lilllc excitement as they drove up. "Send for papa," sh'. then wiiispered.
" There is not time lo send for your fa¬ ther, 1 shall lake the liberty of carrying you to your room, said Mr. Maxwell, who had he:ir.l the low whisper.
He gavo tbe reins lo the groom stand¬ ing nenr, and Ihen taking Grela in his arms, carried her up to ln^r own room.
A doclor W.IS sent for who set Greta's wrist, made alittle prcscvipion orso, and bidding her be quiet, .said .she would be over it in a .lay ortwo.
Misses Cox, .Klfttcher, and Thompson wero in great demrnd that evnniVig; and thu slory oflhe mishap was repeated doz¬ ens of times, witil embellishment. Mr, JIaxwell did not m.iko his appearauce.
Arter several d.iys, tho little invali.l was pronounced woll onough to godo\tn stairs forawhile: so, robed in a blue gov.'n which decidedly heightened the interesting ef¬ lect, .she crept inlo tlie front p.irlor, and took her scat upon a distant sofa. Uer motlier followed with anxiety to see ifshe boro the change well, aud Ihen left hor, sali.'.Uod with the little color sho saw ting¬ ing tliBpalo choek that tho exertion would do her no hnru*. *
Tlie parlor wasalmost empty. Tliere was no one in it that Greta knew, and she sat quietly leaning back  for sometime, her eyes, made larger and softer than over by the little confinement,   wandering   lan¬ guidly in search of rt familiar face; they wore arrested .it  last liy tho figure of a j g.-'iillcman on the pia-/.za who v.'as leaning up against tho window-sfll.   Ho appeared to be having a very interesting timo with -anme one, and Greta, raising lierself up a bit,  discovered'lhat   "some one" to be Nannie Fletcher. Rhe fcif a little a pang- thongh why sheshould have, I don't know Ifshe could only have heard  lae conver¬ sation betwoen the two on the piazza! "Does she look so pale, then ?" "Oh, dre.idfuUj', and slieis as weak as a kitten !" "Poor child!"
"Buther mother said she might come down this morning; I should not wonder if .she is in tho p.irlor now."   .'
The gentlemnn started andlooke.d has¬ tily in at lhe window; ho met a pair of hazel eyes. Dxousins himsolf to Miss Fletcher, he joined Greta on tho sofa;-^ She eolored faintly, and holding out her hand, she said in a low voice:—
"I hare wanted to thank you so;muoh Mr, Mnxwell, and yet my tb.lnks must bo rather ungracious nbw, as I ant forced fo offer you my left hand." '
Ho look thelitflefingersinhiafor amo- ment, and said sometliing .polite about the " little service he liad rendered" be ing a pleasure ; then ho changed tlie con- 'versalion, and talked on quiokly of the weather and lho last hop, aud everything elso. Ho watched Greta nervously, though all tho timo, and could not forbear notic¬ ing how white her cheeks looked in con- tr.ist with the long lashes falling softly upon them. He said, suddenly :— "How pale you have grown !" '¦Yes ; is it not ridiculous that such a Irifiing accident should havo affected mo so?
"A sprain is al was painful.   You should not hava attempted to drive thoso horses. "I am aocostomed to driving ; but they wero hard-bitted."
"I was astonished when I passed you," he wont on. "I oould hardly believe that your fathor had permitted you to start of BO, without any gentleman, and even without a Beryant,"

derly, that Mrs. Broljestronaly suspected tliat sbmethiiig'W.IS wrong; so siie went witll lier hiisband .ind had a confiib with him lipon tho subjeot. But lie hooted.j the.idea. "What, Greta pining after some little follow in gray coat and wliite breeches! Xonsence I No such thing!" Ilrs. Brooke was not lo bo convinced, so so she went b.ick lo her daughter .iud iiirormed her privately, that they would certainly spend the next summer at \Vest Point, which piece of information, much to Mrs. B.'s discomfiture, Greta received-with perfect indifFerence.
One morning Greta shut heraelf into the drawing-room, and commenced in earnest tho study of ".Sohulhods's Grand ValiC, No. 2." Sho was busily eng.aged with it, when her father opened the door> and wilh iigrave face askod her to come to the library. Greta followed him wou. dering. lie puta letter into her h.ind, and bade her go by herself and read it.
Greta went to hor room, lier heart beating rapidly, and the color coming and gofiig in her cheek. .She sat down by tho window ; but it was soriietime bo fore-she gained .courage to open the let¬ ter. At last tho seal was broken ; there at the end ofthe white page, was the signa¬ ture "Uugh JMa.^wolI;" al! else was i;on- I'usod for awhilo-
Gretaputher face in her two hand-s, and cried a liltle after perusing tho im¬ portant epistle. It v.'as such a relief— sucb a happiness ! Then o.iina a sudden terror, what should she write in roturn ? She ojiiU not write to iiim, her father must write for her. So she ran swiftly down stairs into her father's libraiy. and goiug up to him, hiid her blushing oheek on liis shoulder, and whispered, as she put the little note into hia hand : "You lell yes, papa, I can't!"
The indignation whicii seized the boys when tills piece of-news was confided lo them, beggars description. "Greta has been awa> a year already, and now she must go and get eng.aged nnd go olT wilh some man. Disgraoifui I" said Tom, in accents of strong contempt-
"Shamcful!" ehoroused the rest of tha boys.
"Why, Icould. not help il," entreated Greta, deprecatingly : "it wns not my fault; besides, I did not go and get en¬ gaged, I stayed here."
"Absurd subterfuge !" growled Tom. Mr. Brooko attempted to qaiet the ta- mult by declaring that Greta should not be married for three, years, andby that time Tom woald be Ihrough oollego and bs engaged himself. ¦ Me engaged! Never !" and Tom left tho room" in disgust
At tlie end of the week, a bright Satur¬ day evening, Greta heard, as sho sat in her room, the wheels ofa carriage on tho gravcL She'started up ; her first thought was to run away, and then she stood un¬ certain, her bosom heaving, her face burning. Mr. Brooke called hero "Here, Greta, come down, a gontleman is asking for you." And thon sho heard her father's laugh and oordial tones, Ifer- mother's quiet voice ; and, another voice still, that mada her heartbeat. Sho open¬ ed tho door, and glided down stairs and into tho drawing room so softly, that she was there before they knew it. She put out her hand gently and looked around for help from her father or mother ; but thoy had disappeared; and thero stood Mr Maxwell, both hot handj iu his, and ' his faca perfectly eloquent with happi- i uess. Ho drew her down besido him on ; tho sofa, and then she looked up for the ¦ fiist timo to meot his eyes.   Her  blush.

Jlinutc reports of individual cases may be fuund in Avicn's Asii-uicax j\i..M.VNAC, which is furnished to thu druggists i(»r gratuitous distribution, wherein may bo learned the directions for its nse, and sotne of the remarkable cures which it has made when all other remedies had failed lo aJfcrd reliet Those eases arc i>«rp**scly taken from all sections of tho country, in order that every reader may h.ive access to some one who can speak to him ofits benefits from personal experience. Scrofula depresses the vital energies, and thus leaves its victims far ' more subject to disoase and its fatal results than are healthy constitulions. Hence it tends to ehortcn", nnd does greatly shorten, the average duration of huinan life. The vast iniportance of thcFC considerations has led us to spend years in perfecting a remedy which is adoQuato Ij ils cure. This we uow ofler to the pubiic 'inder llio name of Aveu's SAr.sAr,\i;iLr,.\, altiiough it i;j composed of ingredients, somc^of which exceed the bc:-t of Sarsaparilla I aid you may prot J ing and danger r out the foul corl in the blood, purV and vigorous health will follow. By its pecu¬ liar virtues tliifPrcniedy stimulates the vital funotions, and thus expels the distcmiJtrs which lurk within the system or burst out on any part of-it.
AVc know the public have been dcceiveil by many compounds of i^arsapariUa, that promised much and did nothing; but they will neither be deceived nor disappointed m this. Its virtues have been provcJi by abun¬ dant trial, andthere remains no question of its surpassing exeelUncc for the cure of the afllicting diseases it is intended to reach. Although undcrthe same name, it is a very different medicine from r.ny other whieh has been before the people, and ii far more el'- foctual tlian any other Avhich has ever been available to them.
