gentlemanlike courtesy and ease of manuer, though we scarcely underatood it. We only knewie was very different to Hugh and Ste¬ phen, and that already those wild, reckless fellows were becoming a thought less wild under the influence of their elder brother's precepts and example.
But even Arthur diaiiked the idea of Miss Ponsonby'a visit, and we, sanctioned by his opinion, scrupled not to express our feelings unreservedly.
"A regnlar bore—a nuisance!" cried Hugh.
. savagely cutting away at the stick be was
carving, and sending the chips right and left
as he did so; "what on earth are we to do
with a fine town lady?"
" We 'shall have to be proper and 'lady¬ like,' as Miss Fisber says," said Lydia, in dismay; "and how?—ob, there now, Hugh, one of your abominable obips has flown into my eye. Yon've no business to hack away at that stick in the drawing-room. Arthur, has he?—I'll Slap your face if you make faces at me, sir."
Thia last, ofcourse, to Hugh, who was too vividly expressing his feelinga by coulortions of hia features. Arthur, as osual, had to exert his infiuence to prevent a qnarrel, and whan that was achieved we began to grum¬ ble again.
"We were going to have such fun!" sighed I, "now Arthur is here, and all. We should have been ao happy thia autumn. Brotherl" "I'll tell you what we'll dol" exolaimed Stephen, in sadden glee, "we'll sicken her of being bere. We'll send her off of her own accord, the second day. We'U make the place too hot to hold her, and she'll beat a retreat."
"Hurrah!" oried Hugh, "I'U do my part. I'll take her through bramble-bushes that shaU tear her smart frocks, and spoil her grand fashionable bonnets- I'U let her acci¬ dentally slip into ditches whiob shaU ruin her satin shoes and frighten her out of her fine-Iadyish sense besides. Oh, I promise I'U lead her a pretty life whUe she is here."
"Hush, boys!" remonstrated Arthur, look¬ ing up from his book, "yon must remember this lady is to be our guest, and has olaims to aU courtesy and oonsideration from us.— It'a no uae to talk in that wild way. We are gentleman—don't forget that."
Thia final argument was always irresistible to the two boya, rude and aavage as they seemed. With Lydia and myaelf he employed other reasoning.
"Though we don't like this visitor, girls,*) said he, "ne are not such Goths as to let ber see it. You wiU, of course, jointly do the honors, and I have no doubt you will acquit yourselves admirably. For," added he, see¬ ing we stiU looked somewhat dnbious, "I should not like my sisters to be laughed at by our London cousin. I should not like her to think that you do not know how to behave with propriety in your father'a honae,"
This speech had its due effect, and we pre¬ pared to receive our viaitor, if not with heart¬ felt cordiality, at leaat with a decent show of
aee suoh a finikin, affected, fine lady in the world 1"
"So very flne," cried Stephen mimicing her —" My uncle haa been initiating me into the nomenolature of my unknown relations.'— There's a fiow of language for you 1 We muat hunt np our lexicons while our fair cousin abides with us."
"Lexicons, indeedi" growled Hugh; "I neither intend to aay anything to her, or trouble myself to listen to wbat ahe says. I ouly hope she'll like us as little aa we like her, and then she wont stay long."
" Hadn't you better provide some special diet for our friend ?" sneered Stephen, taking np tbe theme ; "surely ahe will never touch the homely beef and mutton that it h our habit to partake off. Nightingale's eggs stewed with rose-leaves, I should think, would form her moat substantial repast. Or Lydia, you will surely have no objections to boil your love-birds for your sweet cousin's delectation. Consider, my dear, the duties of hospitality.
" Yes," joined in Arthur, very gravely, "we muat all consider that. And it ian't hos¬ pitable, Stephen, to make fun of a guest, let me assare yon."
Arthnr's displeasure curbed, though it could not entirely crush, Stephen's sarcasm and Hugh's grumbling. The two boys retired to a remote comer, from whence occassional bursts of laughter, issuing, apprised us of the subject of their whispered conversation. Misa Ponaonby made her graceful entrance into the room jnst as the tea-equipage ap¬ peared. Now that her large shawl was re¬ moved we could see how elegantly her dress fitted, how tastefully it was ornamented, and with what oare the tiny lace coUar and cuffs were suited to the rest of her attire. What a contrast she presented to Lydia and my¬ self as she sat between us at the tea-table I Her hair smooth and silky, while ours hung in disheveled curls about oar faces ; her hands fair and deUcate, and covered with rings, whUe ours were red and rough as a housemaid's. The thoaght passed across my mind that the contrast was perhaps not whoUy favorable to us; but I would never have dared to give utterance to sucb an Idea.
The conversation was neither very general nor very lively, untU my father appeared, and then it was entirely confined to him and Miss Ponsonby. They talked of london, the theatres, the exhibitions—of piaoes and peo¬ ple we knew nothing about; and we felt aU the spite of the uninitiated towards the more privileged, accordingly. When tea waa over and my father, after his usual custom, bad retired to bis study to smoke and read the paper, we all gathered together round one window, leaving our visitor sitting in soli¬ tary state at the table.
She, however, soon accommodated herself to her poaition ; fetched a book from a aide- table, and immediately, to all appearance, waa lost in atudy. We oaat furtive and un¬ kindly glances at her, and communicated our dislike to one another under our breatb.
and Miss Ponsonby hid not responded to the summons. I waa dispatched to lier rpbibj which, with mj usiaal xoucfte preoipltanoe, 1 entered, wiihout any warning given, or per- iniasion asked.' To my dismay xny obOBln was sitting by the window, orylng.' She look¬ ed np at the noise of my sadden approach, and my lind announoement of "Tea i".,uid oolored deeply, more with indignation thaa ahame, I think. I bad the grace to ma:tter some apology, anU the feeling, too, to wish to Icnow what grieved her. , " Is anything tbe matter, oonsin f" aaid i, timidly.
" Pray, take no notioe," ahe replied, haatUy rising, and beginning to arrange her hair.— " I am aorry to have kept you waiting—I did not bear the bell. I will be down sturs imr mediately."
And simply by looking at me sbe forced me from the room. When ahe appeared in the parlor ahe seemed much as usnal, thongh I waa able to detect the red mark -round her eyes, and the nervous flutter of her fingers —thoae white, ringed fingeru we had ao often laughed at, Lydia and I.
I felt aorry for her and ashamed of myaelf, tbat by my own behavior I had placed snoh a barrier of indifference betn een na, that now when al! my romance was intereated, my better feeUnga aroused, and I really desired to draw near to her, I waa nnable to do so.
That evening, after tea, we tbree girls and Arthur went for a walk througb the woods to St. Ann's Pool—tbat great piece of water whereon our boating in summer and our ska¬ ting in winter depended. I remember, as Lydia and I walked behind Miss Ponsonby and Arthur, my siater'a allusions in the nsu¬ al scornful manner, to our visitor's sUk-dresS, pretty mantle, and delioate bonnet, did not chime with my mood so harmonious as usnal. I was glad to remember this fact afterwards. When we oame tothe "Pool," which was reaUy a lake, as deep and as broad as moat lakes, we two girls, of ooarse, wanted a row. There were twp boats always there, and we had soon unlooked the boat-house and un¬ moored one of the little " tubs" as Arthur called them. I don't know why Arthar took it into hia head to go ofi* with one boat, while we stood on the bank watohing him. Some freak of vanity, I sinoe tliought, made him eager to show off his real akill and nni¬ ted grace and strength in rowing, for onr cousin to see more advantageously than she would have done whea in tbe boat. And we looked on while he rapidly skimmed across to the opposite bank, and then came baok. But half-way—something seemed wrong—-be drew up bis oars—shouted to ns:
•' Bring the other boat I there's' a leak in this, and she's souttUng. Make baste !"
The other boat 1 In our observance of him we had forgotten the other boat, whioh, re¬ leased firom its fastenings, was quietly float¬ ing away, and was already beyond our reach. Lydia and I shrieked dismally :
" It's goue—it's gone ! He'll be drowned! He cau't swim."
Where was Miss Ponsonby t Sbe had sprung from the raised platform of the boat- house, and was making ber way along tbe muddy bank hy which the escaped boat was quietly gliding. On she went, andnow, being abreast of the boat, she waded into the water —^regardless of shrieking, helpless Lydia— of that pretty dress and mantle—up to her waist, oaugbt bold, olimbed in, and had the oara in the water, aooner than I oau relate it all.
"Hold up!" she oried then, to Arthur, in the treacherous, fast-sinking " tab." We hardly breathed, I think, tiU he had hold of the oar she held out to him—and was safe.— Tben we sat down and cried. As for Arthur and Caroline—wheu I looked they were standing close by—Arthur

it. Nevertheless, the arrival of the day whioh was to bring her amoog ns was dreaded as an actual oalamity.
On that dsy, however, Lydia and I attired ourselves with'unusual care. 'We had so much regard for appearances that we did not wish to be looked upon as absolute slatterns by our cousin from town. So Lydia mdnded the reut in her skirt, whioh had yawned for the last three weeks, aud 1 condescended to pin a fresh tuckey round my neck, aud a pair of not more than half dirty cuffs on my wrists.
Hiss Fisher, our meek aud muoh tyran¬ nized over governess, waa sitting in the drawingroom, which she had, with considera¬ ble labor, cleared from the litter that usually strewed its floor, its tables aud chairs.— Lydia's drawings and my muaic were neatly . disposed ou separate shelves, aud aa mauy books as onr rough usage had left presenta¬ ble were formally ranged ronnd the card basket on the center-table, after the ordinary fashion. Often before had poor Miss Fisher made similar orderly arrangemeuts, which we had invariably overturned five minutes after, but on this occasion we suffered them to remain. Hngh aud Stephen gathered rouud Arthur, who was drawiug mathematical mys¬ teries at a side table, and Lydia and I, with unnatural demureuess, seated ourselves on each side of ftiss Fisher. At her earnest re¬ quest we even submitted to get fiome needle¬ work. Lydia routed out 'a half hemmed pocket-handkerchief from the depths of the work-bag, and I applied myself to the intri¬ cacies of a knitted collar, which I had been slowly blundering through at rare intervals for some years.
Thus were we employed when the roU of wheels ou the carriage sweep leading to the honse announoedthe return of onr father from tlie rMlway station, where he had been to meet our expected guest. Lydia ran to the window and peeped out, heeedleaa of Uiss Fisher's imploring appeals to her sense of propriety. I sat sUU, feeUug that I was six¬ teen years of age, the eldest gul, and about to enact the part of hostess.
"Oh 1" ejaculated Lydia, in a kind ofsnb- dtted scream—"what a heap - of bandboxes and baskets. One, two, three^-^h, there <Ae ia. > My gooduesBj what a grand lady I. She's coming in-r-now for-it I"

Thus things lasted tiU candles came in, and then Arthur magnanimously set an example of attention to our guest by asking her if sbe played and sang ? She answered yes, smil¬ ingly, and wiUingly consented to let na hear her. So sbe roae and went to the piano, and played a number of brilliant things, which we did not nnderstand, and therefore did not like; and then she sang one or two Italian songs, whioh made a similar impreasion upon our untutored minds. Lydia and I were resolute in refusing to play after our accom¬ pUshed oousin; we sat in grim aUenoe, do¬ ing nothing, but looking very crosa, which we felt, for it was onr habit to dance among ouraelvea in tbe evening, and we were all wroth with the intruder, who hindered ua from our oustomary enjoyments. Arthar alone made any effort to amuse Misa Ponson¬ by ; he proposed a game of chess, and they played till sapper time, and in the course of their play made great progress in acquain¬ tance.
After the young lady had retired for the nigbt we all gathered round Arthur to know what Ae thought of her.
"Oh," aaid he, yawning, "ahe Is a very fine girl, and talks well. Rather too stylish for us quiet folks, perhaps: but stiU—"
" I wonder how long she is arranging her dress of a moming f" speculated Lydia, "and aettling her cliains and bracelets. Why, it must occupy half tbe night to take them off. And what wiU brushing her bair—ob dear!" . "Lydia doesn't consider smooth hair com¬ patible with any womanly virtues," laughed Arthur, "aud she repudiates brtish aud comb."
"Oh, I bate vanity!" cried she, abraptly, but coloring too.
And I noticed thenceforward a gradual im¬ piovement in the appearence of Lydia's abundant brown tresses. Possibly the ex¬ ample of our elegant' cousin effeoted eome good in both of na. We oonld not but oatoh some infeoUon of her neatness and oare in dress; moreover, we were aU obliged to own she was npt iU-natured, and was ever wUUng to- aasist us with her advice, or even her belp- Ing hands,'in any matter of costume. This ready'kindnesa was also evinoed in other ways, inss Ponaonby waa always pleased to play or sing, to teaoh ub atitches in em¬ broidery,'new waltzes onthe piano, or new mysteries in crochet. As for her "choice langusg^" I am inolined to think it was ao- cideutalj and not. a matter of habit with hen We were, obliged privately to aoknowledge that her fine ladyism, even after aU,resolved itsf^ into always "having olean Hands- an:d Case,- Bmpdth htdi*, tastefol' dress, and qtUet znimierii.

up,
supporting her, for she had hurt herself in tbe adventure, and was now as pale aa if ahe were goiug to faint.
"Cau'tyou give any help, girla?" oried Arthur, almoat angrily, "You see—^you see—Good Heavens! she is injured—she ia
terribly injured "
'* No, no, no, nol" was all sbe could say, in a faint voice. Then we aaw her arm waa bleeding from a great cut. In tbe midst of my fright I was amazed to see tbe pasaionate way iu whiob Arthur pressed his lips to the wound, saying, in a low, fervent voioe :
" For me—for me I I think I never prized my life before, Caroline!"
Yes, I heard—and ao did sbe. The color came into her face again, and ahe disengaged herself from all our supporting arms, decla¬ ring she waa quite well—quite ready to walk home. ^ '
I hardly know bow we walked home.- Lydia was crying half the time, heing thor¬ oughly subdued by fright and agitation.^— As for me, I looked at my oousin, who, leak¬ ing on Arthur's arm, walked feebly in hir ruined sUk dress, from wbioh we had wruig tbe water as well as we could. And I sighed with anew conscionsnesa, as, ever and auoit, I oaught some words in Arthur's passional voice, and then Caroline's low, sweet tones in reply,
It was my flrflt glimpse into tbe Enchanted Land. New and mysterious as It all waa lo me, I intuitively comprehended, and I moral¬ ized within myaelf aomewhat after this fash¬ ion :
" Well, only to think I PU never judge from appearances again. Who would havb snpposed that our flne lady conain would tum out a heroine after all, just like a giri in a book ? aud that Arthur wonld faU in love with her? and that she would be oui* . aister at last ?"
Any other catastrophe never struck me as being withiu the natnre of thin^. Even when, on arriving at home, Caroline escaped at once to her own room, and Arthur strode off into the shrubbery, dark as it was, itiU I waa not undeceived. I waa rather surprised when my offer to as&ist Miss Fonsoaby' in ohanging her wet garments waa refnsed in a subdued and tearful voice. Bat I tboughtj "People have differeut ways of taking things. I dare aay she is very happy, though she Is orylng abont it." . .
But I waa roughly aroused to the real state of aflairs. Arthur rei^peared, and oaUed. me to join him in his evening rambWj Glad enongh I waa to do it, though I could hardly keep up with his impetuous steps. He plunged in, mediasres, and oodeceived me at ouoe. :
- "Lizzy,it'saUoyer;she's refusedms. I'm miserable for Ufe. But no matter; she moB&'t suffer,,sb^ mustn't be distressed; she's an angel, Lizzy I"
"No, not if she makes you miserable,"said I, promptly, and bitterly, and deoisively; . ' "Psha J it Isn't Aer fanlt; she nerer enoottr- aged or thought of such a thing. I know that; I know I'm a fool ever to have aUowed iny¬ self to think of her; bnt—but for all that: I shall love her as long as I Uvo." .- r. ., ;

"Hebas beeh abroad i long time. ,She expects hini back shortly; and then they wUl be married. She told me; s^e said I had a right to know. She behaved beautifully ; she ia everything that Is most pure, moat gentle, most angello. In spite of all niy wretcbedneis, I know that."
Bo he went on, tlU we were summoned in doors. Poor Arthur! be waa , thoronghty earnest and thorbngbly generpuB In his love Tor Caroline Ponaonby. If the misery be ao Areely spoke of were leaa absolutely real,.and rather a Inzttrious no velty than anything else, I did not detect it then, and I was not ^nite able to forgive our oousin for having caused it. My father met us as we entered the house. Hehad a letter inhis band, which he held out to me.
"It's for your oousin," he said. "Take it to ber. She is not welt I hear;, but Vm mistaken if this doesn't prove a panacea eveii for being half-drowned. You hair- brained soapegracesi" .>. . He shook his head at ns, but with bis merriest smUe Iran up stairs with the letter. .
GaroUne looked miserable enough, even my sisterly jealousy was compeUed to own. But my' father was. right. At sight of the letter her face brightened, aud wben sbe had read two or three lines she foirly burst into tears, and buried her faoe in the wonderful missive.
"He is in Sngland; he will be here to mor¬ row," she said, in tbe first impulse of her re¬ lieved beart. I suppose Ilooked'grim, for, after a little while, abe drew me towards ber, holding fast hold of my hands, and looking straight Into my face.
"Don't be uujnst," ahe aaid, with resolved frankness, " and don't draw back and keep aloof from mt as you have done Partly it was my fault doubtless; but remember, cousin, you were at home aud I waa among Btrangera, aud.though I yearned to give you my confidence, I could not force it upon you. My unole knew. I wiah he had told you." She stopped, pained by my apparently nn- sympatbizing ailenoe, I suppose.
"Arthur will—Arthur won't—Arthur is too brave," said I, incoherently.
"Arthur, being teu years younger than I am," sbe remarked, gently, "may be reasona¬ bly expected to forget all tbat bad best be foi^otten. Yet for his generous kindueaa, hia friendUnesa to me when frieudllnesa was needed, I shall always be grateful, and always grieve that it cost him even a pasaing sor¬ row."
"A passing sorrow!" repeated I, indignant again on the other side.
However, aince tben I have been compeUed to acknowledge,that I was mistaken in. more tbinga tban one conoeming oar consin from town. Kven so early as next moming, when there dashed up a poat-obaise to Abbott's Grange, and there eutered a brown bearded, brown oomplexioned man, who looked to me quite as old as my father, and wbo, it.seemed, was that "otber mau" of whom Arthur bad spoken to me. Even tben I begau to allow tbat perhaps tbere were incongraitiea in my brother's firat love that might prove fatal to eternal constancy, and perpetual nusery tbereafter, hnmiliating as was the eonolu¬ sion.
Ye3, and now, when the annaal family gathering is held at Abbott's Grange, and bappy Caroline, with her husband and chU¬ dren, sits talking witb her old friend, my brotber Arthur, also happy with his wife and bairns (he married, I tbink, bis fifth love;) and when I remember how true and energetic her friendship has always been; how many times it has helped' bim, as it has cheered and comforted ui all—I am compeUed to aoknowledge that firat impressions are not infalUble even at sixteen, and that early youth, with all ita enthusiasm and genero¬ sity, is too apt sometimes to blend a good deal of injustice.
vtA^easantwifffls a rainbow iii-the sky when, h^er husband's mind is tossed with stoEins and tempests.
"Iwish'^ou had been Eve," said an urchin to anieahl^wbmaij, '/ifeoanseyou,woi^cihave eaten aU the apple, instead of dividing it with Adam.".

gentlemanlike courtesy and ease of manuer, though we scarcely underatood it. We only knewie was very different to Hugh and Ste¬ phen, and that already those wild, reckless fellows were becoming a thought less wild under the influence of their elder brother's precepts and example.
But even Arthur diaiiked the idea of Miss Ponsonby'a visit, and we, sanctioned by his opinion, scrupled not to express our feelings unreservedly.
"A regnlar bore—a nuisance!" cried Hugh.
. savagely cutting away at the stick be was
carving, and sending the chips right and left
as he did so; "what on earth are we to do
with a fine town lady?"
" We 'shall have to be proper and 'lady¬ like,' as Miss Fisber says," said Lydia, in dismay; "and how?—ob, there now, Hugh, one of your abominable obips has flown into my eye. Yon've no business to hack away at that stick in the drawing-room. Arthur, has he?—I'll Slap your face if you make faces at me, sir."
Thia last, ofcourse, to Hugh, who was too vividly expressing his feelinga by coulortions of hia features. Arthur, as osual, had to exert his infiuence to prevent a qnarrel, and whan that was achieved we began to grum¬ ble again.
"We were going to have such fun!" sighed I, "now Arthur is here, and all. We should have been ao happy thia autumn. Brotherl" "I'll tell you what we'll dol" exolaimed Stephen, in sadden glee, "we'll sicken her of being bere. We'll send her off of her own accord, the second day. We'U make the place too hot to hold her, and she'll beat a retreat."
"Hurrah!" oried Hugh, "I'U do my part. I'll take her through bramble-bushes that shaU tear her smart frocks, and spoil her grand fashionable bonnets- I'U let her acci¬ dentally slip into ditches whiob shaU ruin her satin shoes and frighten her out of her fine-Iadyish sense besides. Oh, I promise I'U lead her a pretty life whUe she is here."
"Hush, boys!" remonstrated Arthur, look¬ ing up from his book, "yon must remember this lady is to be our guest, and has olaims to aU courtesy and oonsideration from us.— It'a no uae to talk in that wild way. We are gentleman—don't forget that."
Thia final argument was always irresistible to the two boya, rude and aavage as they seemed. With Lydia and myaelf he employed other reasoning.
"Though we don't like this visitor, girls,*) said he, "ne are not such Goths as to let ber see it. You wiU, of course, jointly do the honors, and I have no doubt you will acquit yourselves admirably. For," added he, see¬ ing we stiU looked somewhat dnbious, "I should not like my sisters to be laughed at by our London cousin. I should not like her to think that you do not know how to behave with propriety in your father'a honae,"
This speech had its due effect, and we pre¬ pared to receive our viaitor, if not with heart¬ felt cordiality, at leaat with a decent show of
aee suoh a finikin, affected, fine lady in the world 1"
"So very flne," cried Stephen mimicing her —" My uncle haa been initiating me into the nomenolature of my unknown relations.'— There's a fiow of language for you 1 We muat hunt np our lexicons while our fair cousin abides with us."
"Lexicons, indeedi" growled Hugh; "I neither intend to aay anything to her, or trouble myself to listen to wbat ahe says. I ouly hope she'll like us as little aa we like her, and then she wont stay long."
" Hadn't you better provide some special diet for our friend ?" sneered Stephen, taking np tbe theme ; "surely ahe will never touch the homely beef and mutton that it h our habit to partake off. Nightingale's eggs stewed with rose-leaves, I should think, would form her moat substantial repast. Or Lydia, you will surely have no objections to boil your love-birds for your sweet cousin's delectation. Consider, my dear, the duties of hospitality.
" Yes," joined in Arthur, very gravely, "we muat all consider that. And it ian't hos¬ pitable, Stephen, to make fun of a guest, let me assare yon."
Arthnr's displeasure curbed, though it could not entirely crush, Stephen's sarcasm and Hugh's grumbling. The two boys retired to a remote comer, from whence occassional bursts of laughter, issuing, apprised us of the subject of their whispered conversation. Misa Ponaonby made her graceful entrance into the room jnst as the tea-equipage ap¬ peared. Now that her large shawl was re¬ moved we could see how elegantly her dress fitted, how tastefully it was ornamented, and with what oare the tiny lace coUar and cuffs were suited to the rest of her attire. What a contrast she presented to Lydia and my¬ self as she sat between us at the tea-table I Her hair smooth and silky, while ours hung in disheveled curls about oar faces ; her hands fair and deUcate, and covered with rings, whUe ours were red and rough as a housemaid's. The thoaght passed across my mind that the contrast was perhaps not whoUy favorable to us; but I would never have dared to give utterance to sucb an Idea.
The conversation was neither very general nor very lively, untU my father appeared, and then it was entirely confined to him and Miss Ponsonby. They talked of london, the theatres, the exhibitions—of piaoes and peo¬ ple we knew nothing about; and we felt aU the spite of the uninitiated towards the more privileged, accordingly. When tea waa over and my father, after his usual custom, bad retired to bis study to smoke and read the paper, we all gathered together round one window, leaving our visitor sitting in soli¬ tary state at the table.
She, however, soon accommodated herself to her poaition ; fetched a book from a aide- table, and immediately, to all appearance, waa lost in atudy. We oaat furtive and un¬ kindly glances at her, and communicated our dislike to one another under our breatb.
and Miss Ponsonby hid not responded to the summons. I waa dispatched to lier rpbibj which, with mj usiaal xoucfte preoipltanoe, 1 entered, wiihout any warning given, or per- iniasion asked.' To my dismay xny obOBln was sitting by the window, orylng.' She look¬ ed np at the noise of my sadden approach, and my lind announoement of "Tea i".,uid oolored deeply, more with indignation thaa ahame, I think. I bad the grace to ma:tter some apology, anU the feeling, too, to wish to Icnow what grieved her. , " Is anything tbe matter, oonsin f" aaid i, timidly.
" Pray, take no notioe," ahe replied, haatUy rising, and beginning to arrange her hair.— " I am aorry to have kept you waiting—I did not bear the bell. I will be down sturs imr mediately."
And simply by looking at me sbe forced me from the room. When ahe appeared in the parlor ahe seemed much as usnal, thongh I waa able to detect the red mark -round her eyes, and the nervous flutter of her fingers —thoae white, ringed fingeru we had ao often laughed at, Lydia and I.
I felt aorry for her and ashamed of myaelf, tbat by my own behavior I had placed snoh a barrier of indifference betn een na, that now when al! my romance was intereated, my better feeUnga aroused, and I really desired to draw near to her, I waa nnable to do so.
That evening, after tea, we tbree girls and Arthur went for a walk througb the woods to St. Ann's Pool—tbat great piece of water whereon our boating in summer and our ska¬ ting in winter depended. I remember, as Lydia and I walked behind Miss Ponsonby and Arthur, my siater'a allusions in the nsu¬ al scornful manner, to our visitor's sUk-dresS, pretty mantle, and delioate bonnet, did not chime with my mood so harmonious as usnal. I was glad to remember this fact afterwards. When we oame tothe "Pool," which was reaUy a lake, as deep and as broad as moat lakes, we two girls, of ooarse, wanted a row. There were twp boats always there, and we had soon unlooked the boat-house and un¬ moored one of the little " tubs" as Arthur called them. I don't know why Arthar took it into hia head to go ofi* with one boat, while we stood on the bank watohing him. Some freak of vanity, I sinoe tliought, made him eager to show off his real akill and nni¬ ted grace and strength in rowing, for onr cousin to see more advantageously than she would have done whea in tbe boat. And we looked on while he rapidly skimmed across to the opposite bank, and then came baok. But half-way—something seemed wrong—-be drew up bis oars—shouted to ns:
•' Bring the other boat I there's' a leak in this, and she's souttUng. Make baste !"
The other boat 1 In our observance of him we had forgotten the other boat, whioh, re¬ leased firom its fastenings, was quietly float¬ ing away, and was already beyond our reach. Lydia and I shrieked dismally :
" It's goue—it's gone ! He'll be drowned! He cau't swim."
Where was Miss Ponsonby t Sbe had sprung from the raised platform of the boat- house, and was making ber way along tbe muddy bank hy which the escaped boat was quietly gliding. On she went, andnow, being abreast of the boat, she waded into the water —^regardless of shrieking, helpless Lydia— of that pretty dress and mantle—up to her waist, oaugbt bold, olimbed in, and had the oara in the water, aooner than I oau relate it all.
"Hold up!" she oried then, to Arthur, in the treacherous, fast-sinking " tab." We hardly breathed, I think, tiU he had hold of the oar she held out to him—and was safe.— Tben we sat down and cried. As for Arthur and Caroline—wheu I looked they were standing close by—Arthur
