The ceremonies were all over, and Adelaide was ex- changing the white dress, with its delicate lace bertha, in which Willis had thought she looked so very, very lovely, fer one more suitable for traveling. ‘*You told me four weeks ago that you did not love Mr. Fletcher, but I really believe you do alittle. Oh, Ada, darling! do net be an unloving wife; do not repay the devotion of your husband with indifference.’ “Do not fear forme, dear Kate.

And an elegant luxurious heme it was. Mr. Fletcher had purchased a beautiful place just out ef the city, and fitted it np for the reception of his bride, with all the comforts and adornments that wealth guided by the most fastidious taste, could pro- cure. Te Adelaide it was all nov- elty aud beauty. Her father was in what would, in New Eng- land parlance, be called meder- ate circumstances—abent midway between the vale ef Poverty and the meunt ef affluence; net poor enough to be deprived ef any et the real comforts of hfe, and yetnot rich enoug to indulge in any very expen- sive pleasures.
