"Do you wish to speak to me, Mrs. Harvey ?" said Mr. Wentworth to his housekeeper, as he glanced up from the morning paper and saw her slowly and deliberately arrang- ing the sideboard, and wiping a few imperceptible specks of dust from the glasses, '" Ahem! ahem ! Yes, Mr, Went-- worth, if you please." " Well, Mrs Harvey ?' Io laid down the paper, knowing the good woman to be usually rath- er prolix in her speeches, but this morning she cimo suddenly to the point. "If you can spare me, sir, I should wish to leave your service." "To leave! And "Aimee--Miss Rochelle--so lately returned." 'Why yom sed' sir, when Miss Aimee was at school, and only here during the vacation it was another matter ; but now she has ¢ome to reside with you, and grown up lady.' 'What can have occured, Mrs Harvey I had hoped you lookedupon my houso as y our home.' ¢ Thank you, sir,' and Mis Harvey smiled complimeiit 3 and shall be sorry to inconvenience you; but oon coyrse Miss Aimee will in fu- ture keep the keys and give the or-- ders, and I never was used to have a lady over me, be she ever so nice; $0, it you please, Mr. Wentworth, I preter to leave." ¢ Certainly, by all means, Mrs. Harvey. And it was settled that the house keeper should resign her trust upon that day week, is quite a The pleasant morning room open- ed. by a glass door on is lawn, and trained around and ov ershadowing the panes, mingled a clustering rose and fragrant honeysuckle; but brighter and sweeter than even'they was the fair young face which peep- within. Then Ahen 'Aimee Ro- chelle entered, her hands filled with the flowers she had gathered. ¢ Ob, dear guardy !" she cried, 'I feared you would coax her to re- main I' ¢ What coax a woman, Aimee |-- is a species of argument I would not resort to with you though I fear the pleasure of your | coming home will be lessened until we can replade her, for Bridget is Butdont i trouble yourself about Mrs Harvey ; Bridget and [ shall go on famously.' If Mr. Wentworth did not sippréve of the coaxing system, his ward was the kitchen and begged Mrs Harvey make that day's desert, under superintend-- ance, some excellent cake, for which the housekeeper was justly celebrat- ed, and she charged Bridget to al- low nothing in the culinery pr cpar- ation to escape lier notice. And so the week passed on until the morning Mrs Harvey's trunks were all inthe hall ready corded and she--her hand full of fresh erispd notes-- was courtesying and smiling her way out of Mr. Wentworth's study. ¢ Ah, then, exclaimed the honest, outspoken Irish girl, 4nd may her shadow never darken. our doors again! Tam glad she 1s gone, Miss Aimee, it is yourself I would rather have any day for a mistress." «Yon won't find me a hard one, Bridget. But you will do me one favor?

Then seeing him take up his pa- per, she tripped into the garden for | py her morning flowers. ¢ Dear happy child'! cried Her- bert Wentworth. as; with a sigh; he watched her flitting like a butterfly from tree to tree. ' It only 'seemed the otyer day since he had led her away a little dying futher, who confiding the or- guardian glance over the table as| she listened to the praises of their}, weeping gir) from the bedside of her| and hope, tured I his face to the wall and then rosignedly fell asleep. Herbert Wentworth was at that ime a man of twenty eight. Now ton years had passed, and more than one silver thrcad mingled in- his dark hair, and the child had become a lovely girl ot eighteen, ' Ilow shall I bear to part with her ? thought Herbert. < How, en- dure this darkened home whea the gladdens it ?' Aimee returned with her flowers, but she had suddenly checked the cheery little song she was singing, upon observing the sad, grave smile with which her guardian greeted her. What is the matter, guardy ? Do you miss anything this morning?' she asked, glancing around theroom her thoughts riveting to her new duties. 'Yes, Aimee, my morning kiss. I think you have forgotten that lately.' 'This is better than a mortal's kiss, for the moon looked down on them all night while the fairies around and then hid under soft leaves leaving sweet, dewy kisses there for you." Herbert Wentworth opened his arms to kiss her but Aimee had fled away. Three happy but eventful months had glided by. The beautiful Aimee Rochelle had rejected lovers innu- merable. At length one, more persevering than his rivals, importuned Mr. Wentworth for the hand of Lis love- ly ward. The day he so dreaded had arrived his chierished bad tad expanded |, into a flower, and other eyes beheld its beauties, and other hands would fain gather it to transplant in their own homes. "This letter concerns you my child," said Ilerdert to his ward.--- It is from young Frank as he is call- ed. Ie asks my consent to address you, and my influence in his favor. He is wealthy; but you, Aimee, will not be portionless. The money your father left has been well invested, and when I render up my trust--" « Mr Wentworth," she exclaimed, never let the subject of Hong y be named between youl and me.' "What answer shall I give ?" said her guardian. ¢ Tell Frank Slater L offer." decline his "Pause well my dear; it is a most eligible one. He is of good family, bears an irreproachable name--"" "Do you wish me to marry this young man ?" She looked up at him, and as she waited his reply, the color of her cheek faded to an ashen whiteness. Yes, for 1 think it most suitable, and doubt not you will be happy." " Happy! do uot mock me with that word." Aimee clasped her raised hand as she spoke; then casting upon him one reproachful glance she hurridly left the room. Herbert Wentwort started. In those harsh, impetuous tones he hardly recognized the sweet voice of [aime nor in her wild desparing attitude her childlike gentleness. " What can it mean ?" he cried and after some moments of wonder-- ing thought, be slowely andoflech- ively followed his ward t5 her own little sitting room. _ She was not their ; but on the table was her open desk and spread were letters, as it hatily worn from their enclousures--his own letters which sbe bad treasured.

And now when they speak of the old days of their brief courtship Herbert will gometimes.add : « Remember little wife I did not youl ' ra Aimee only laughs as she re- plies : "Ah! yes it was too had. compelled to do the coaxing." But Amy Wentworth never ré- grotted her choice, and a happier couple does not exist in all this fair broad land. i { I was rar ry How the Ladies in the States Lecture Tem- perance. The ladies in several cities in the States especially in Olio and Indiana have gone on a Crusade against the sale of intoxicating liquors. If they cannot prevail on the Saloon keepers to quitat once they proceed to carry their traps out of doors ; and latest ,eports show no abatement in the enthusiasms concesning the temperance crusade, which has enlisted leading people in various com munities.
