A few weeks later in those spacious parlors, surrounded by her friends, Beatrice gave her hand where she had long since given her heart.

Mrs. Bizelow’s splendid parlors were a blaze of light as the two gentlemen entered that evening, and paid their respects to their hos- tess. At a little distance from her stood a young and queenly-looking girl talking gaily with a knot of gentlenren; she was richly at- tired, and her robe of rose-colored silk con- ‘trasted well with her clear olive complexion.

The Rev. Bishop Kip performed the ceremo- nies, and among the audience we noticed Capt. Garrison, Capt. Ritchie, Mr. Whelan, Mr, Jewett, (the artist) and others.

Week after week he lingered at Montford, and at every opportunity he was at her sido. She appeared utterly unconscious of his de- votion, and by her manner effectually pre- vented his uttering any e: tion. He longed to, and yet he dared not learn his fate, and in alternation fear passed his time. At last, he could bear it no lon ger; he re- solved to know the worst, and went one after- noon to see her, with the determ.‘nation to offer herhis heart and hand. Fortuny favored him; she was alone in the library, and he was shown there af once. She was sittin; with head a little turned aside, as he er ; but he saw the blood rush to her cheek’ and j her eyes sparkle, and as she half started for- ward to meet him; then resuming hes o/den stately manner, she received him with dignity, He had seen and hoped much from her emvtion. “Beatrice!”’ he cried, unable to restrain himself, “thank God I see you once more lene.
