However, if I should make up my mind | to contract matrimony, you may rely upon being duly informed of the fact.” | “Oh, then you are not the terrible monster | you once were,” continued Minnie. | “Wbat do you mean, Mivnie! Ido not an- | derstand you "1 said. My sister knew very | Well I did not like the subject, | * Well, don’t fly into @ rage, Ernest, and I | Will explain myzelf forthwith,” said Minnie. | “Are yon a woman hater!” | No. 1 am neithera lovernora hater of your ecx at present,” I replied. { + Now, Mamma, isn’t it too bad!" said Min- | Bie. +1 realiy think sometimes our poor Ernest | has taken leave of Dis senses ofis laboring un- | cer come dreadful mania.

Ernest, I am shocked, and ehall remain 60 until you cultivate a more | ly, manly ectimate of womankind.” “You ko>w vothing at all about it,” said I, “2nd 1 mustonce more remind you that‘the Prevent topic te distasteful to me. Why, theu do you persevere in trying to vex me simply because Ihave pot yet discovered the right object? As fur the honor 1 may er may not} bring tothe house of Morland, rest assured, cenr sister, that my opmions of your sex can bring discredit upon no one, for few men value a true woman more highiy than Ido. Your folicitade tor my welfare may be natural, Min- nie. but it is not pleasant, and I intend to please myself aoout x matter which concerns Bobedy else.” “Stop, Ernest, stop!" exclaimed Minnie. “Do Hot he offended.’ However, I did not stop, but wenton faster than ever. “I am overtbirty.” said I, “and shall soon be calied an old bachelor, I suppose. Well, whose faultis itthat lam not married! What js the reason of my prolonged experience ot single blereedness? Why, simply because I Bave not yet encountered a lady whom I contd leve. Youth, wealth aud beauiy Dave flattered | nnd courted me. I baye been chosen as an | object of special regard py yonr strong minded woman, just as an old dowager world choose a French poodle. Nay,some of the most deli- eate sy reps of Eve's fair family have deigned to emile upon me, and yet I have needed them not. And why! Because I believed then, and eull believe, thatin their eyes wealth was the ehief attraction; that not one amongst the gay and loving throng was actuated by a spirit of disinterested sitection. There, you inquisitive ining, you haye gota bit of my mind.” said I, aud intruth I had never spoken so candidly on the subject before. “A very nice little speech, Ernest,” observed Minnie archiy, “and I deeply regret my inabdil- ity to huve taken it down in short hand for seme future occasion; bat I am greatly sur- prised to learn that ladies are in the habit of w ng gentleman.” «Not with words, perhaps,” l replied; “but the eyes can speak as wellas the tonga “Doubtless you are might, Ernest,” said my sister, ‘but you will cOndescena to tell me (:ince you have rejected so muny suitors) what Ort of a wife would be likely to suit your au- ustexcellency !”” “Why, you tormenting little puss,” 1 ex- claimed, “you know very well the kind of ar- ticle 1 am looking for, and that I would ciass Ioyself among the happiest of men if1 we permisted to meet with one whose principi @isnesiticn und babits corresponded wit. “Wah sirt> interrupted Minnie. “Yourown, Minnie,” I replied. : “Nay, brother that isa false compliment, I) @m certain,” persisted the mcorrigible girl, “A pisin, quiet, corner-haunting creature; & nur- fery apd kitchen philosopher, one who can manage A house better than a flirtation; an am neer and teacher of children, whose fingers Flay more with the needle than the key-board, would never be the person to captivate the | gay and talented Ernest Morland. Never Beyer,” said Minnie; and she gazed upon me, me, with aemile of well-feigned incredulity. “But, believe me, Minnie, such an individ- mal would be the very one for me, if she were @s poor as a dressinaker, as ugly as Miss Long- purse,” 1 exclaimed, quite delighted with my sister’s modest description of herself; ‘‘and if | 1 bad been going to place my wants on the books of a matrimonial agent, I couldnot have chosen betler words.” «Ha! ha! ha! Singular case of mental aberra- tion. Ernest Morland advertising fora wite! A beart tolet unturnished! Ha! ha!” exclaimed | Minnie, and she laughed away untill was compelled to join her in self-defense. Our hi- | larity however, at last subsided, and taking» lamp trom the table, my sympathizing sister eaia. * Well, Ernest, Lam truly sorry I cannot tind you a proper partner; butin the hope that | the right object willturn up by-and-by,1 bid | you food night.” “Good night, M ie,” said 1,and remember, th veare ‘o h&ye no more mu. cussions.” | * * . - « | As Lentered the breakiast room on the follow- ing morning Minnie placed a letter in my hand, Beying ®s she did so, Read that, Ernest. It is | from consin Annie at Wakefieid. On proceed- | img to obey this peremptory order, I towad the | contents cf the letter to be as follows:— BromLey HALt, WAKSFIZED, May, 15—. | “Dear Annt and Cousins:—Feeling ipclined | for a little change of scene, 1 shall be glud to | avail myseltof your Kind invitation to visit | London providirg such an arrangement would | be agreeabie at this me.

Well, you had bet- ter reply to her letter by return of post, and let us have a jook at her by all means,” “Yes, Ernest,” said my mother, “I intend to do so, for I have a great wish that Minnie should see the young lady whom your cousin mentious in her letter. I understand she is very accomplished, though very poor.” None is iess worthy on thai accounts, moth- if you please, trimonial di: said I, “but one thing is quite certain, I ebali no ’ “Marry Cousin Annie,” interrupted Minnie, laughing. “No, Miss Matchmaker, I will not do that, although 1 had no intention of saying so,” I relied, rather sharply. + Well, Ernest, I do notthink you will be Asked to perpetrate such an act, batl trustyou will bebave yourself like & gentleman and a Christinn while she remains with us,” said my motber, with a quiet smile. “Do not be alarmed cm that score, my dear Mother,” | replied; and seeing they were both bent upon disturbing my equanimity, I ¢ iehed wy breakfast im silence and drove 1 the city” Well in less than a week after theabove con- versation tok place, my cousin Annie ac- companied by her companion, arrived at our house. They must have come early in the af- ternoon, for, when I returned from town, about my usual time, Mingle was preparing tea im our little silting-room, and the two strangers (tome at least) were very snugly disposed upon the hearth. As Lhave said, My cousin WAs quite ane knowr tome. | had never seen her before, although I bad heard a good deal about her trom my mother and Minnie, who had each praised our Yorkshire relative in the htgnest terms. I was, therefore, considerably prepos- sess: d in her favor beforebaud; but, alus!a most complete sod crushing change came over the { spirit of my dream, just exactly asl thought it would. And that others may be abie to sympathize with me in so eruela disappoint- ment, I will trouble them with a brief outline of the individual whose caused it.

Yes, she too, was cailed Ansie; bad not known better, 1 should have taken her at once for Miss. Hilton, and wat wealtn dame for her poor companion.
