The older of the two was a no- torious newsmonger, and was generally better | | omnia up in the affairs of her neighbors than | er own—devoting @ greater portion of her ume to that uit. There was not a family on the island with whose history she was not familiar, and could tell volubly and cireum- stantially, in full and extreme length, every flaw in the reputation of a man or woman, far and Ss bag the circumstance of every courtship twenty years back, and couid tell how this one “had to marry,” and that one didn’t.

The Widow Sally—ber cousin—being of a different stamp—seusibie, discreet, and with sense enough to descry his peculiarities and respect | them—was, of course, very popular, and in speaking of the two, the comparison was always drawn in her fayor. Between the two cousins nothing like social intercourse had for a long time existed. never recognizing each other anything more than @ cool courtesy; and the widow Sally was con- scious of being 8n object of envy and close ob- servation with her censorious cousin, any little tale to her discredit being always Iabori- | ously circulated by that amiable relative. About the time in which occurred the in- | cident we are narrating, politics raged fierce, And men’s minds were busily occupied in their consideration. Just after the election, a “Wiig supper” was held in the county, which the | Doctor attended, partieap sting freely in the | festivities of the os¢asion, 7 Though usually of a reserved tnrn, and nacurally taciturn, it was observed on this oe- ¢asion Dis spirits were unusually buoyunt,and his conversation free and animated. The sitting Was a protracted one, and not until well among the small hours did the ductor order bis gig. Having made a friendly call upon Sally dur- ing his ride in the afternoon, it occurred to him that it would be no more than fair to call ou >. *hitable on the way home, wluch he accord- ingly did, though at the expense of some ad- ditional [Tavel.

Why, what—were—eh! Who—w-w-what is the mai- ter!

The doctor left, and hastened home. Before suurise Mebitabie had traveied tive miles with the news, and before nightfall had reason to regret her precipitancy, having unfortunately Met her degraded relative “taking tea” in ro- | bust health, with mutual friends, to whom Mebitadle haa imparted theawtfui intelligeuc+, im ihe sirictest confidemce at tue street door, poornege to wait until they could reach the par- "a On the following day the talkative widow Met ber informant. “Doctor, what did you mean by that awful story?” Why. my dear madam, I was prevented | from finishing it by your swooning—being in a | Burry, | was compelled to leave.” “Why, there wasn’t @ word of truth in it, doctor.” “Pardon me, madam, it was true as Genesis; more beautifu: twins | never saw.” “Twins, doctor, what!
