In truth, and in fact, she lived ina chronic state of amazement; for Mary Thorne ‘was always doing something to astonish her friends and relatives. Miss Ruth could hardly credit the evidence of her own senses, in the hazy glow of the August morning, when she came out of the clematis shadows of the littie seuth porch, and discovered that yonder mov- ing — half way up among the umbrageous branc! of the hnge old pear tree, was not a spray of leaves, nor yet arusset-plumed robin, nor & cluster of sun-checked pears swinging in the blue empyrean, but—Miss Mary Thorne, comfortably perched in the crook of the gnar!- ed tree, her curls all flecked with the sifted rain ee aogier beubipwic — shifting canopy ves, a book in her lap. «I don't care!” said the little damsel, laugh. ing saucy defiance. “ [t's the nicest piace in the world up here; I feel just like a bird, with the leaves fluttering against my face and the wind blowing so softly—and I ‘intend to stay bere! Wouldn't you like to come up here, Rauthy? It's easily done; just put your foot on that knot, and——” Ruth, who was thirty, and weighed a hun- dred and sixty pounds, bristled up with amazement. “ Mary Thorne, are you crazy? Come down this instant!" “I shan’t,” said naughty Mary, tossing the silky shower of curis away from her forehead, and icing down with eyes that shone and sparkled like two blue jewels. «But we are going ——" “Yes, I understand. You are all going in triumphal procession to the depot, to render an vation to the great Professor La Place, the wisest, t, and grandest of mankind, to whom the ne family have the unutterable bonor of being second cousins, and to escort Bim solemnly to a month’s sojourn at Thorne Hall. O, dear,” ejaculated Mary; «I wish I could run away somewhere and hide. I hate this paragon of prim precision! I shan’t mar- Fy him if he asks, and I mean to behave so badly that he won’t dream of it! No, I am not going with you. I hate the close barouche, and it’s too warm to ride on horseback. I shall stay at home !" And Miss Mary settled herself so snugly ‘with one tiny supeered foot swinging down, and her pretty close to a nest of bine speckled bird’s eggs, that Ruth gaye it up with a sigh of despair. « Well, then, have it your own way, you in- corrigible romp! 1 wish you weren't too big to be shut up ina ears well boxed !” + «It is a pity, ism’t it !" said Mary, demurely. “Of course it is, Mary; if Cousin Tom Brad- comes this morning, be sure and explain to him why we are absent, and behave like a young lady, mind!” “All right,” said Mary, dauntlessly. “I al- Ways liked Tom! we used to have grand romps together when we were children” She sat there in the old pear trec, prettier than any Hamadryad that ever might haye haunted the 7, old veteran of the garden, her cheek touched with sunshine and carmine, her dimpled lips part, now reading a line or two from the book in her lap, now looking up, rapt in girlish reverie, into the blue sky as it Jed through ever moving leaves,and now breaking into a soft little warble of song that maace the very robins themselves put their beads one side to listen. The carriage had driven away long since—she had watched it beyond the curve of the winding road; the dark mantle ofshadow was slowly following the | creeping sun-glow across the velyet lawn be- ow, and the old church spire among the far- off woods had chimed eleven. And still Mary ‘Thorne sat there in the forked branches of the giant pear tree! Suddenly there floated up into the leafy sanctuary, 2 pungent, aromatic odor, which made her lean curiously forward, shading her eyes with one hand, the better to penetrate the green foliage below. Not the Iate monthly Toses, not the amethyst borders of heliotrope, nor the = v4 geraniums, none of these blos- soms distilled that peculiar smell! “My patience,” said litie Mary; cigar. A cigar it w: and the owner thereof—she Could just see a white linen coat and a tall head covered with black, wavy curls—stood on the porch steps, quietly smoking, and indulging in =.

Tom,” she called out, im a silvery aecent of imperative summons, and then burst into merry laughter at the evident amazement with Which the stranger gazed ronnd him, vainly trying to onjecture whence the cali had proceeded «You dear, stupid Cousin Tom,” she ejacu- ated, “don't stare off toward the cabbage beds! Look straight up here! you may come upif you please. There’s plenty of room for both. ion are Cousin Tom aren’t you?” she continned, as a sudden misgiving crossed her mind. “Of course, Tam; and you are Mary, I sup- “it's a “Mary herself!

Ishouldn’t have known you, “No,” said Tom roguishly. “ And you've grown so tall! I dec! you're psoounenl gentleman laughed. “TI could return the compliment if I dared!

Why, we have | just been looking for you at Mill Station!" “TI am sorry to e inconvenienced you, | sir,” was the reply: ut I came by the way of | Wharton, and walked over this morning.” H «Never mind, now, so you ure safely here,” exclaimed the old gentleman. “Ruth, my dear—Mary—let me introduce you to your cousin, Prof, La Piace !” 7 had drepped his arm and stsod dis- ayer said Ruth; mi : You told me yon were Cousin Tom !” «So 1am Cousin Tom! that is my name and Telationship. Now, Mary,” and the black eyes sparkled brimtul of deprecating archness, “don't be angry because I don’t take snuff, nor wear spectacles! I beg the other Cousin Tom’s pardon, whoever ke is; but lam very glad he isn’t here. Mary be just, and don’t hate Cousin Tom, because his other name happens | to be La Place!” Hi He need not have been so apprehensive, for, in their twilight walk beside the sun-deal that | very evening, she confessed that she did not find Prof. La Place such a terrible ogre, atter all; quite the contrary, in fact. And he suc- ceeded in convincing her that he liked his im- pulsive little cousin Mary all the better for | those pear tree confidences. i But, no doubt, it was a very erplexing thing to have two Cousin Toms; endless about | six months subsequently, Miss Mary contriv- | ed to obviate that inconvenience by allowing one of them to assume a newrer rplationship, and in spite of all her asseverations to the con- trary, she is Mrs. Prot. La Place. For it’s a solemn fact in this world, that, whenever 4 girl says she “never, never” will do | a thing, she is pretty sure to go and do it the | first chance she gets, and Mary is no exception to the general rule.—New Fork Ledger. ce The Sduken Road at Waterloo. An odd numerical coincidence, twenty-six battalions were to receive these twenty-six | squadrons. Behind the crest of the plateau, infantry, formed in thirteen squares, two bat- seven on the first and six on the second—with musket to shoulder and eye upon their sights, waiting calm, silent, and immovable. Th y could not see the cuirassiers, and the cnirassiers | could not see them. They listened te the ris- ing of thistideof men. They heard the inereas- ing sound of three thousand horses, the alter- naie and measured striking of their hoofs at full trot, the rattling of the cuirasses, the clink- ing of the sabres, and a sort of fierce roarof the coming host. There was a moment of fear. | ful silence, then suddenly a long line of raised arms brandishing sabres appeared aboye the | crest, with casques, trumpets, and standards, | and three thousand faces with gray mous- taches, crying “rire [° Empereur!” “All this | cavalry debouched on the platean, and it was | | like the beginning of an earthquake. All at on tragic to relate, at the left of the English, a: don our right, the head of the col- uinn of cuirassiers reared with a frightful elamor. Arrived at the culminating point of the crest, unmanageable, full of fury, and bent upon the extermination of the squares and can- nons, the cuirassiers saw between themselyes and the English aditch—a grave. It was the sunken read of Ohain. It was a frightful moment. There was the ravine, unlooked for, yawning at the yery feet of the horses, two fathoms deep between its double slope. The second rank pushed in the first, the third pushed in the second; the horges reared, threw themselves, fell upon their backs and struggled with their feet in the air, piling up and overturning their riders; no power to retreat; the whole column was nothing but a rojectile. The force acquired to crush the English crushed the French. The mexorable ravine could not yield until it was filled: riders and horses rolled in together pell mell, grind- ing each other, making common flesh in this dreadiul gulf; and when this graye was full of living men, the rest marched over them, and passed on.
