One of the prettiest places in Cumberland is the little village of Undercliff, Surrounded by lofty hills and off the great roads of travel it has preserved, even uato this day, a great number of pictur- esque provincial customs. A few years ago in a journey from Keswick to Carlislie, I had occasion to pass through it at an early hour 80 early that I should have thought it unlikely that many of the inhab- itants would be awake. But before wo bad entered the place an unusu ally-merry peal from the chureh bells attracted our attention, and no sooner had woe come within sight of the quint reddish-looking houses, than we were sensible of some very unusual commotion. The windows and doors of nearly every house was open, and there was a festival look about the groups on the street corners, or leaning laughing, over the halt-doors so common in that locality. A number of young girls dressed in white were passing down the streets and some men were carrying large baskets of cut flowers towards the old church which stood inthe very centre of the village. We determined to stay for breakfast at the bright little inn, and accept our share of sympthetin and whatever was in progress. When the landlady came to receive us 1 noticed that her lace cap and Sunday gown were elaborately trimmed with white satin ribbons, and this circumstance helped me to my first question. ¢ You have some wedding, surely, to-day in the village ?' ¢ Indeed we have, ma'am; and a cood wedding may it be. And the blessing of Providence be on what the wicked would have prevented if they could.' ividently there was some nnusu- '1 thought they annexed a story. "Would you like to hear it ?' 'Very much.' 'Then you must have a little pa: tience with me, for the story begins before I was born.' 'We have plenty of time the doc- tor is hunting ferns; he will not come until he is weary.' 'Well, then about twenty years ago, a certain Captain Walter Hart, of her Majesty's cavalry, eame to Undercliff with his wife and son, and took'roums for a month at the inn there. The Captain had a month's furlough, and the trout creeks and moors wero the great attraction. My busband--then a lad of seven years old--was their only child ; he was an utter pet, and accompanied his tather in many of his expeditions among the hills. The country people frequently warned them to beware of the mosses but no danger was apprehended until one night they failed to re- turn. The uext day they were still missing. Great numbers went out to seek them, but at the close of the second day they were still missing; and the general opinion was, they had gone into some treacherous bog and been swallowed up. My father was nearly the only man who bad any faith left in their recovery and his faith was rewarded. Early on the fourth day hecame upon them in a state of utter exhaustion. Captain Hart had broken his ankle, and the child was ina most delirious con- dition. They were taken at once to the Hall, and father and Mrs Hart nursed both back to life again. After this Walter Hart and Thomas Hatton were friends closer than brothers, and this friendship was drawn still closer the following' Christmas, for then father met Alice Hart, my mother and fell in love with her. Their course of true love al interest attached to this marriage; but everyone was so full of expec. | tation and excitement, that there] seemed to be no hope of learnig | what it was till after the ceremony. | MONEY TO LOAN.

Apply to This, however, is not usually delay- | ed in the North of England beyond | nineo'clock; and even before that | hour the bells clashed out in jubil-| ant melody, there was the rattle of | approaching carriges, the bridal | procession passed triumphantly up| the street, and I canghta glimpse of a lovely woman in the midst of white lace and white flowers. At the great iron gates ofthe church- yard she was met by a procession of young girls, dressed in white and singing. Certainly, the joyful mov- ing picture was not one to be easily forgotten. But we were much hurried for time, and beyond the fact that the tride's name was Alice ITatton, the only child of Thomas Hatton, of Hatton Hall, and high sheriff of the county, I could learn nothing. In three months, however we should pass thiough Undercliff again, and I planned for at least a couple of days stay in the romantic old village.-- There were lead mines and wonder- ful spars in the vicinity which would tempt the doctor, who was our chiet authority, and I promised myself a gossip with the handsome, talkative hostess about the wedding and the bride. As it happened, I had no occasion for my planning, for one evening as wo lett our hotel in Edinbugh, for a walk on the Castle ramparts, the beautiful bride of Undercliff entered it. She was leaning upon her hus- band's arm, and my first impression of the couple was that they were both eminently handsome and at- tractive looking. During the next week we were constantly meeting, and at last ad vanced so far in our acquaintance- ship as to join each other when we met in the grim old rooms of Holy- hood, or among the memories of the Old Town or the Grassmarket. One day we met by a kind of im- plied appointment at Roslyn Castle. Alice looked pale and weary, and complained of a headache, so the gentlemen went togother on some of those many ways which they can al- ways find to walk in, and Alice and 1 sat down on an old abbot's grave stone and began to talk. Of coutse the opening wedge of confidence was dress, then we passed to our husbands, and probably both of us said better of them than they deserved. Then told Alice that I had seen her on her marriage morn: ing, and repeated to her in an in- terrogative manner the words of our pleasant landlady : 'A good wedd- ing may it be. And the blessing of Providence on what the wicked would have hindered' if they could I' «What made you remember those MRS. HENRY LYLE. Manchester, June 20, 1877. - ran smooth enough. It was a suit- able match on both sides, and that summer the marriage took place in Underecliff; for the Hattons had heen married in theold church of Under: cliff for six hundred years and there seoms no reason to back so long and pleasant a custom. 'Unfortunately, soon urier my birth ; my mother died ; and father had scarcely recovered from the shock of this great loss when Cap- tain Hart was ordered to the East Indies. Iis friends urged him to sell out but this he would not do, neither would Mrs Hart consent to be soparated from her hushand. All however agreed that the boy Walter must be left. Ie was old enough to go toschool, and it would be fatal every way to take him to Calcutta. This parting was a great sorrow to father, and in the very first year of their Indian life, both Captain and his wife died from fever. Then fa= ther took Walter from school, and henceforth Hatton Ilall was his home. 'So, you see, Walter and I grew up togother. True he was nine years older than I, but IT think that was a favorable circumstance, I was a little creature to be loved, cared that 1 was disaj "Then I made allowance for him missing a post. No letter. Then I supposed business, sickpess, everything but that it was impossible he could forget me. When I had been disap- pointed for a week, even father began to be anxious and angry. He wrote to the firm in London, and immediately received a reply that Walter Hart was in perfect health, and had left for Turkey several days previ- ously. + Suddenly it struck father that Walter must have written, but that perhaps he had given the letter to some careless fellow, who bad either lost or forgotten it, and that we should surely hear from him as soon as pos- sible after his arrival at Constantinople.-- This supposition seemed so natural that we both expected it without a doubt, father went happily about his usual employments, and I amused myself Ly counting the days that must elanse before the first letter conld arrive. Father said I couated too close, and 80 he counted also, leaving what he called a margin for delays and accidents. Yet I could see that he had really expected a letter by the same post as I did, and that when none came, he shared fully in my miserable dis-- appointment, Day after day passed--oh so wearily | 1 lived but for one hour. When it had come and gone, and brought me nothing, I gave up all the rest to despondency and despair, No one can imagine what two wretched peo- ple wandered about the beautiful gardens of Hatton Hall, Ido believe father sufiered as | much as I did, for Walter bad been for years dear as his own son to him, and indeed, when a girl, I had often been very jealous of this affection for this strange boy ¢« Days grew into weeks, and nothing came to lift this singular and unnatural silence.-- My father wrote again to the London firm, and also to Walter at Constantinople. The letter to the firm was promptly answered -- ¢ Mr. Hart was doing excellently ; the house was gieatly obliged to Squire Hatton for his influence in securing to it such an efficient aid. ~But his letter to Walter brought back no response, Then his wronged affection turned to bit- terest anger; he hunted up all Walter's college scrapes, and founded on them the very worst suspicions, he convinced me as well as himself that there had been some previous entanglement, from which he either could not or would not fren himself. It was a dreary winter, I went very little out for IT was very sensitive to the universal public sentiment and sympathy. Our en- gagement was known to the whole village my desertion was equally known, and every, one felt they had a right to offer me sympathy cither in words or looks. But no sorrow lived forever. When spring returned we had arrived at somo kind of rori---2" avout our wrong, and my father's anger had changed into contempt--he was sorry for the poor coward ; who without a word to gay for himself, he had simply sneaked out of his obligations, for his poor father's eake he would not be the one to injure his fair name A parcel came to you from London, 1t had something heavy in iteI was curious to know what it was; 1 began to open it and could not stop. It werea little box with a rare gold chain and locket, Ikeptit a day to think what I must do with it--then I kept it another day, and then my Lucy came from Gatesfall to see me, and I showed it to her--she took it back with her. Then I knew not what else to do but keep all the other letters. Master Walter had gone to foreign parts--I hoped he would never come back again, I kept the Sqnires letters to him and all the letters {hat came over the sea to the Squire, Still the Squire spoke not, but I was sobb: ing bitterly, I hardly knew whether for joy or grief, And that very locket ! it's bronght my Lucy sorrow in plenty. Her misses thought she stole money and they searched her trunk and they found it 'mong other things, and Lucy would say nought to blame me, so they sent her to the House of Correction and the girl has gone on from bad to worse, Oh, Squire | they wha gang a wrang road gang asorrowfu' ane.' : It was very painful to sec the poor, gasp= ing terrified woman, After a moment she said ¢ Squire, Squire | what be you going to do to me.' Then my father stooped, so that she could hear him distinctly, and said, * Dame I'll do this, I'll go and bring yonr Lucy back, to Underhill--back to the Hall ; and I'll give her every chance to be a good girl again. . I wns perhaps too hard on her before, I'll be very patient with her now. Do you hear me Dame 7 + What did she say to that?' I asked eagerly, for the Squire's behavior touched me greatly. She clasped my hands and said, ' I'm no longer afearcd to die--if man can be so merciful I'll e'en trust the mercy of the Almighty.' We were both quiet a few minutes, then I said : Well you wrote to Walter, of course,' No the Squire started the next morning for Constantinople, and when he came back Walter was with him, « No wonder every one rejoiced with you.' Everyone bad sorrow in my disappoints ment, No one was indifferent to Dame Holloway's confession and I think nearly every one accepted with my father the charge he had assumed with regard to the repentant woman's daughter. She met with much genuine kindness and forbearance from her old companions. ¢ And she profited by it ?' ¢ Havo you noticed that pretty, merry girl that trots after me all the time when I ame in the hotel 2' ¢ Yes,' 'That is Lnev * Enlisting a Lawyer.

Walter had always been very dear ever since the hour that he had found him dying, and nursed the patient, grateful little fellow back to life again. Itseemed really 8s if no possible trouble could come to darken our affection. True Walter would have to leave me in the autumn, for he had entered into partnership with a large firm en: gaged in the Turkish trade ; and it was a stipulation that he should go to Constantinople for a year or two, and obtain on the spot a practical knowledge of the business. But I was only seventeen; wo might well defer our marriage a year or more; and when ono is bappy, a year does not seem a long time. « Father approved of the whole arrange- ment. If Walter could not be a landed gentleman, then the next best thing be thought was to be a great merchant. It was by my father's advice Walter had invested his large fortune in the Turkish trade ; and he thoroughly believed in men knowing all about their business. So, one morning, Walter bid us a hopeful good bye, and went to look after his fortune. . ' « He was to go to London first, and jm- mediately from there to Constantinople. He promised to write to me from London as soon as he arrived there. « How often I counted the days that must elapse before I could have a letter I Iwas eure Walter would write the moment he arrived. words ?' she said, smilingly. Three days after Master Walter went awny "he arrived in London; and I counted first for The fever began in our cottages, but soon spread rapidly through the village. Death was in nearly every house, and the help and sympathy of the hall was almost hourly demanded. y This threw a gloom over the dying year which did not fail to impress us painfully, it was also impossible to torget that at this time last November Walter had gone away with with such bright promises both for himself and us. One day, in some softer mood, my father was thinking of him. ¢ Alice,' he said, ' the Camptmin was a noble, honorable gentleman ; his mother was a good one if one ever lived, he himself was a straightforward, loving little lad,all the years he grew beside me. I don't under- stand it--there must be some explanation.' Just as he finished speaking a servant came to tell me that Dame Hollamay was dying and wanted to seemo. 1 frowned at the request. ' Of all the women in our village I disliked her the most. She kept the Post Office and when my trouble was fresh and bitter, irrit. ated me beyond endurance by her obtrusive interest in my correspondence: But 1 excused her impertinence, because the year previous my father had dismissed her daughter from the hall for scme offence in a very prompt and summary way. It had been raining, too, and looked stormy. * 1 cannot go tonight Parker,' 1 said, In about an hour Parker came again. « Miss Alice,' he said, ¢ the dame be dread- ful bad, and she can't die till you come.' «I will go with you, Alice,' said father go I had no afternative but to obey the re- quest. 1 went crossly cnough, but she was past all anger when I reached her. It would have been inhumar e not to have felt pity for a creature so near the grave. She looked eagerly of us as we advanced towards the bedside. t Squire,' said she in a whisper that was only a thread of her old rasping voice-- both a mighty wrong." The Squire did not speak.
