“BLUE BOY,” OK THE LETTER IN THE GOBLET. ae INUED.} Ettie stayed on, sa@diy ervanag oe Les wonderfai, oppressive dream. "Possum had hie kennel here as st home. and often walked with his mistress in the lovely grounds. Somehow they both came io relingmien the tdea of going away agrin. Was not this tar better. thought Ertie, than , #m Senerort were anxious to keep her—and they aesored her that they were so—why should she pot remain? ( There came at last s sweet Aprilday, when the maiden eartD, in @ blush of apple blossom, seemed like & modest bride arrayed for her poband. Small clouds of snowy fairness wreathed the sky, and & magi: veil of gaazy enhanced the loveliness it softly shaded. Ettie walked in the beantiful groands, no- ting with a feeling akin to pleasure. the pur- ple irisas it began to push its rich petais through their fiat and folded sheath, or the eariy tulip which painted the well-kept beds with vivid splendors. [corT: She walked long, “Possum, who by this time | grind of was old, keeping at her side. The wheels upo» the gravalled drive yonder pres- ently caught her ear, and she raised her eyes towards tbe approach to the house, whuse | nearegt point was some bundred yardsor so distant from wheresdestood. A hackney car- riage quickly swept round the curve of the read visible from her «tation and disappeared Two gentleman were in it. Som E had t'me to notice, and no more. The French windows of the drawing room, which were Dow open, faced thet portion of the garden where Ettie stood. In a@ miaate or two it became evident that the visitors had entered that room, and were talkiag to Mr. Mensfort, or “the Doctor,” as Ettie had now learned to call him. Having no wish to ba obrerved by the strangers, even at a distance, Ettie turned her back upon the windows, and began to wall still furtner from them. As she did so she was enddenly puzzled and Slarmed zt the conduct of *Possur Witha loud yell or whine he left her like ashot. She turned herself once more to discover, if possi- bie, the cause of this unexpected move. But no reason for the dog’s departure suggested itself. He ranvehemently titlhe reached the drawing-room, where he disappeared. For a few moments Ettie stood gazing after her companion. wondering wha might have been bis motive for Jeavinz her im this precipitate manner. Kut she nad not lorg to wait for a solution of the question. Not many seconds had elapsed before ‘Pos- enm reappeared. But he was not alone now. Heaven! what meant it! this sudden magic vision ! this vision of & tall, well-Knit, well- remembered koy’s fizure, of goiden hair. and a deep-bronzed tace and glittering buttons? Extie stood lige a statue: her tips pale and parted: ber bands clasped: ber heart crammed with anameless increduions huppiness. Wondertft.J. It was no mistake. Tuere he came bounding—boundingtowards her, while “Possum capered and barked a bark of joy be- tore him. Yes, there was the dear old face, all afiame now with passionate love; the eyes burnipg with an intense pure brightness like electric eparks: the excitement of the counte- nance enhanced by an indescribable expres- sion of eager, wovderivg inquiry. A few moments more, and a great. strongarm ‘was clasping the frail girl’s figure; two trem- bing lips were pressed npon the maiden’s cheek; and then, from that true, manly satlor’s heart; there swelled up such migh'y tears as no effort could snppress. “My own darling,” he said when he could sob out anything likea word. “You see that I'm alleate and weil. I’ve been inawful peril, but the good God bronght me through it. He Das tentme back 'o you, dearest, that 1 may make you well and happy.” And as he found his s to return, he hurried it back with all his might. He swallowed, sniffed, stared, raised hie wide eyebrows, set hiesmail lips in the old decided style, and litted his shapely chin with the semi-defisnt air of years ago. Then he fell toscanning the silentgiri'stace Ashe did so the look of esger inquiry which had charac- terized his first gaze her, gave place to AB expression of simple satisfied love. When she epoke, it was with the greatest calmness. «“Biue Boy,’ she said “you have come to wake me up from the oddest, ugliest dreams I ever had in my life.” “Yes, my dariing know, very ill. «BatlI'm perfectiv weli now. Let me look at you, Biue Boy. How you've grown, but you are notaltered a bit otherwise. You are qnite as—as—ugiyasever' No whiskers, that’s right! God bless those brown cheeks !* “Bless you, my Vioiet! Butimay I call you mine! Wili you have me, preity lass, for your sweetheart !* Yee, Bine Boy, I will, becanse I can’t help myrelf. Your eyes,sir,sre forget-me-nots. i thought so long ago,thongb I never told you. They mace me obey their blue command. I bave never torgoten them.” And then he took ber ronnd ‘he waist and led herabout the garden ,which nppeared to bim to be Eden), and iaughed, and half cried again and said if his great staring eyes were forge’ me-nots, he stould uncommonly like to know whuthers were! And he went ou to tell her that she was made of diamonds, and gold, and bovey, and harmony. And he said that bliss of to day would bave made up for spent clinging to charred timbers upon stormy sea, and that he did’nt care for anythiag and that God was too good: and that the world was the jolliest, happiest place going: and that it was all right; and that(by Jupiter) hed never swear again nor bave another pipe as long as lived. And headded that Ettie must t-poseession inclined You've been ill, you come away -today,of course and thatit was all | bumbug sbout her being———And such a lot more he caid, that we despair of teiling itall By-and-by he grew quieter, and then Ettie looked up m bis tace aud said: «Blue: Boy, 1 know what's been the mat- ter with me.” “And / know.” he answered. kissmg her “what's deen the matter with m-, ever since, that gloomy November day ihat took me a ‘gg “ My mind has been affected,” saia Ettie, “and this is an asylum that i am staying at now.

Ettie smiled with a emile so thoroughly her own, that it was clearenoneh, her cure was in every sense as perfect as Blue Boy's.” “And now, old Possum,” said the sailor, ag be patted the old dog, ‘you deserve a little motice. So you remembered me, as I told you, did you! And you came just now to put an end to the doctors doubting and head. shakings, by bringing me direct '0 my darling’ And you wok care of her and stuck to her while lwasaway !

The ugly and aged animal panted out upon to- | his young master and mistress 4 heart fall of | love, and thanks, and good wishes; and then feeling, perhaps, that there was nothing leftin this life whieh he particulariy cared to see, or it may be, unable to endure, afier his late bedily exertions, the bliss of the moment, he sank upon his side, and stretched suddenly out to an appalling length, while everything belonging to his frame ben! parture for that land where flies never an- noy, where no ghastly moons compe! the mid- Bight howl, and where young masters (if indeed, any in the biped form there exist) are | 8s considerate as they are fond. ‘The doctor owned to Violet's complete care. She did not now stay long at Heathfield Court. ‘Thesecond gentleman who had come with Blue Boy proved tobe cousin Jack. Although upable often to bearthe sight of poor Ettie while she had been suilering from natural aberration, the kind, ood creture had continu. ally been near her. He had never given up his hope that Blue Boy still lived, nor bis firm faith thatthe moment of the lad’s resto- ration to Ettie—if only that restoration might be cranted—would be the momentof her return to health. Cousin Jack took & pretty furnished country house, with a large gardev, & conservatory, and many other Aitractious, and there he placed litie Ettie for the summer, sending poor homeless cousin Elizabeth to take care ot her. And often came himself to ree her, and ‘we need not say that somebody else often came too. And row Ettie learnt several new and some pleasant things relating to the past. She learnt, first that her senior guardian was dead, and that his charming son, Arthur Poptajay, was | engaged toa Miss Emilia Emptihed, who as report said, was pretty acd ai ways well dressed. She learnt, farther, that Arthur had atone time determined tomarry her (Ettie), and that her removal to Cavendish Sy nare had beeneffected by the father in the furtherance of his silly son's wishes: that cousin Jack had not ap- proved the plan for her removal, although, in ignorsnce at the time of ii- real object, he had recommended E:tieto fall in with it tor the sake of peace. Uvusin Jack said, too (what Ettie had listened to with tears), that her father, on the day he died, had said how mych he should like honest, hearty, trae Blae Boy to marry his darling one day, Boy was pre orl carr (as De considered it bis bourden dat; the earliest oportunity.

She put her arm within his, andled him to the conservatory. There she gathered a large tea scented rosebud. Pointing first to the fair, almost colorless outer petals, she gently unfolied w tn her tiny | fingers, the deepening tints wrapped ap within, till at length she reached the intensely glow- ing centre, and held up before Blue Boy’s eyes that wondroes, nameless hue—the blending, as it were, of fire and blood.

I am, therefore. of the opinion that the mode of ascertaining and assigning to States and districts their respective quotas as prescribed inthe 12th section Of the act of the 3d of July, 1353. is not re- peals that the same mode must be puraued in equalizing the draft among tae subdivisions of each district. ext comer the question, w Count prescribed in the 12th section of the act of Sd March, ie ain that Congress rarded that a ‘on of the period of service would chance tis the mode of is very considerat: the rule from a merely aumerical one.
