For an hour her dainty littlo fingers had danced over the keys. - She heard a light step at the door, and a little carly head looked ia. "Miss Vinnie, Miss Raymond wants to know if you is going to the ball to night." "No my boy. Is she going?" asked Vinnie, "Yes'm," said curly hedd and van- ished. "Oh dear," cried Vinnie. "Why couldn't Tom or Alfred have come and takenme? Thoy know I dearly love to dance, Aud then she laid het arm on'the piano, and roclined het head upon it, and felt as woe be-gone ds pos- sible. So sho permitted ber glossy {brown curls to fall down over her {face and hand asshe reclined her bead, and meditated sorrowfully. The light in the room burned low making but vainly defined shudows upon the wall, Presently Vinnie heard five gentle taps on the piano lid near ber head, Shestarted, and looked up, beheld a young man of noble bearing stand- ing beside her, Uttering a little scream, she sprang from her seat and fled to- wards the open door. "Mudam! Miss Vinnie Walton!" said the stranger, Hearing bei own name pronounced Vinnie stopped, and turned ber face towards him. The color went out of her cheeks, and her eyes sparkled with anger as she nerved herselt up to give the intruder a cutting reply. But before she had time to speak, he suid-- "Miss Walton, I do most hambly beg pardon for this intrusion. Be not too hasty to condemn me even though I appear culpable." The reproach she was about to utter died upon her lips. There was that in the manner and tone, more than in the words ot the stranger, that checked her reply- The' noble countenance, the mild eye, the gentle voice, all betokened the high type of ed to impress one less sensitive to such manly charms than Vinnie Walton. So instead of running away or speaking angrily, she only blushed and stood still. - The stranger, without further pre- lude stepped lightly to the piano, and seated himself before it. For a moment his fingers ran up and down the keys aimlessly, uncer perfect chords and harmonies, The music, slow and soft at first became more rapid, more impassion- ed, and at length swelled into the most indescribable grandeur. Vinnie, so lately speechless with surprise, could not restrain a ery of admiration. But the musician seem. ed to be so wrapt in the piece be played that he seemed not to hear it 2 So entranced did the listener be- come that she forgot all her fears, and drew near the piano; and when the player ceased, she was leaning forward as if sho were listening, «Rising trom his seat, the musician 'sho was awakened from her . trance, checked hor again. : "4 Vinnie," said he, ina tone so piano. drawn it, but the look and touch ' of the stranger had a power over her diko a spellydnd givinglup to the she remained perfectly pussive. ed the musician. "Will you for- she grasped, not being able to think of anything else to do at that tindation of the harmony he hud elicitated from the piano, "Vinnie, give me but one golden moment, and then I must go away, I havo sen you bétore this day, and admired you. By an impulse I could not re sistI was drawn to wherel kuew you were this evening.

Hor little hand trembled, apd she murmured some words indistinctly. «Please accept this little token," said he, at the same timo dropping asmall package into, her hand, which moment. " Will you permit me to see you bere tontorrow evening ?" he inquir- But poor Vinnie was so bowilder- ed that she had no tongue to speak. 80 he kissed ber hand chivalrously and disappeared. . Vinnie gazed on the floor, and moved not for several minutes after the stranger had departed. Then, starting suddenly, she was gurprised to find herself alone, 0 voico was to be heatd--io music. The piano stood open just as she had left it, Could it all be a dream ? What did it mean ? Then she thought of the " 1 love you; Vinnie." Then tho handsome' manly face she had seen--oh, that face! Now she remembered that she bad seen it before. But where? At a ball? No; it was the face of one that she had dreamed about. Three times in her dreams that same manly form and face had been distinctly seen. She sighed at the thought that this might all be a dream; but just then she allowed the little package to drop from her hand upon the floor. Quickly sho snatched it up, and eagerly opened it to see if it would afford any clo to the mystery. It was a ring--a beautiful diamond ring. Nothing could be more elegant--nothing more dainty. She looked at it with wonder, and moved it about in her hand, delighted to see how it sparkled. She put it on her fieger, and it fiited as completely as though it bad been made expressly for her. It wasn't a dream, then; it was all real, And nnw it camé to her mind that she had seen a ring almost ex- actly like iton the baud of the musician, _ All the next day Vinnie wandered about in a maze; yot she kept her secret, : The mord she thought of tho mysterious musician, the more she was drawn towards him. Tor hours together she sat at the window hoping to catch a glimpse of her nameless admirer. She folt shure that sheld shon know him among a thousand by his dignified step and perfect form. But her watching was all in vain. The next evening Miss walton was seated by the piano, Vinnie whiled away a long time in looking at her beautiful ring, and wondering how it could be that it happened to suit her so completely. Then she let her hands run care lessly over tho keys of the piano, until she happened to ~strike upon one of the strains she had herd the musician play the previous evening. Then she sat to work trying to re- produce as much of the music as she could, and was greatly surprised at ber success. Rap! tap! tap! tap! tap! came from the direction of the door. Vinnie's heart fluttered for a moment and then she mustered up courage to Jook around, and there stood the musician. Ho held bis bat in his hand; he woro a cloak of fine texture which, thrown aside; revealed a dress of superior elegance and taste Everything in bis manner and attire | declared the cultivated gentleman of refined society, and Vinnie was more than ever assured that this 'was the man whoth she has seen in her dreams " Vinnie," said be, advancing and laying his hand upon her arm, "I must away in 2 moment 'but I bave on word to say to you." "Qb, sir," said she, " can you not take the seat, and allow me the pleasure of hearing your * music Thus importuned, be took hor place withotit hesitation, and once again Vinnie stood besido him, drinking in the iusi¢ with the most intense pleasure, for his playing was not une whitless attractive for her 'having héard it before. As she listened hier heart warmed towards the musiciat; when he ceased she felt no longer avy difidence or fear in his presenco, «Vinnie Walton," said be, "I Would you go along with me?" Vinnie was deeply moved. For a moment sho was undecided, and thon she looked up into the calm eyes that looked down admiringly upon her. She thought of the face she had seen in her dreams, and the one now before her, and felt assured. Her voice trembled a little, but fall of faith she answered-- « Yen, I will go. I know not the name of my generous friend, but something tells mo that I shall not love him in vain," "Your faith shall have its reward, Vinnie," was his reply. ' Ideem it best that you should first hear my namo at the alter. Trust me till thon In order to be offon the steamer to-morrow, we must be married in the morning. Can you be ready ?" "1 shall be ready," replied Vinnie, "Sevrecy is wisdom, in this matter," said the musician ; and then baving kissed her on the cheek, he stopped lightly out of tho room. * * * * The next morning Vinnie Walton was dressed and waiting. Uneasily she moved about the room, now paz- ing from the window out into the street, and now trembling and ox- cited at the sound of footsteps. At last she threw herself into the gront arm chair, and resting her hoad upon her hand, she went over the mo- montous events of the past two days and then tried to push asido the dim future. . Oh, that future! Xow could she daro to build so confidinly upon it ? What did she know of the musician ? Bat it was only for a moment that she permitted berself to doubt. She lived on faith ; and when she heard five gentle taps beside her, she turn- od with a bright face and a thrill of gladness as she saw once again her noble musician. " You are waiting, Vinnie," said he, as he took her hand in his own, and smiled kindly upon her, "Come then?" And he led her down to the carriago that waited for them. Vinnie scarcely had time to note the elegance of tho conveyance, for lightly he handed her to her place within the carriage, seated himself by her side, and away they rattled. Strange sensations she felt as she saw whirling past, churches, gardens, and clegant mansions that she did not remember to have seen before camo into view aud vanished; but sho felt no fear ; she only leaned the more confidently upon the arm ¢ the musician and listened entranced to the music of his voice. Suddenly the carriage stopped be- fore a beautitul little gothic church. The light showu with a mellow glow through tho elegantly . painted windows,and streamed brightly from the open door. Quickly and gently her lover assisted her from tho car- ringe, and sho leaned upon his arm and approached the church door.-- There they were mot by two gentle- men and two ladies most richly dressed. In silence they bowed to the musician and Vinnie, and then silently led the way into church. The musician exhibited not the' least evidence of surprise at the cir- cumstances by which thoy wore surrounded, but Vinnie had scarcely strength to move, and loaned heavily upon his arm when they entered, for lo! athousand eyes rested upon them. The church was crowded with a most brilliant assemblage of ladies and gentlomen. The lamps were surrounded with garlands and wreaths of [owors. Suddenly the silence which had prevailed was broken by the deep tones of the organ, swelling so grandly as to make the little church tremble, Then fifty voices chanted a most beautiful hymn, and while the church reviberated with the grand melody, Vinnie and the musician moved down the aisle towards the alter proceeded by the four sileny ones who had met thom at th Then they ranged them: must go in tommorrow's streamer to Italy'; I can not think -of leaving} you bel , you trust me? the choir w an like the rushing of r hush of stillness perva oburch while the in silence, * w ole cy "Vinnie!

B So, with a sigh at the thought that she must como back again to this dull, hamdrum world of realites, Vinnie Walton rubbed her oyes, threw back her . wealth of brown curls, and went down to tea, ee rt A ---- ma Do you want to read thid word-picture of a modest girl 7 We wish more of her existed, for the sake of socicty at large.-- She is not what is called handsome, thought possessed of a quiet attractiveness all her own. Her wardrobe is chosen for quality according to her financial circumstances; the colors are salccted with care, suitable to each other and favorable to her complexiun, (you may call this taste, soit is «modest taste") the style must; of course, be as near the popular fashion as she dare approach, but never so quite up to the heighy; when out calling or shopping she dresses with neatness and care; if walking, sho neither moves too fast nor too slow, but glides along with a natural and graceful step whick is very becoming, recognising her friend by a" polite bow or a welcome gtasp of the hand ; but there are co demonstrative em~ braces or gush-words. She is 8 rictly truth fal. When any question is being discussed and her opinion is asked, she gives it hesitatingly, not doubtfully, and if not ac- cepted. never allows herself to utter a con tradiction, but calmly und quietly with-" draws from the discussion, although her opinion is not lost or defeated by so doing ~--on tho contrary, it almost always carries weight and effect. Her acts and words are unobtrusive, but her influence is great in the home which it is her happiness to adorn, A Busy Family. A caso of assault and battery, in which farmers' sons were plaintiff and defendant respectively, wus on trial in Justice Alley yesterday, and the plaintiff's lawyer was very anxi- ous to make out that the defendant's family must have seen tho fight which took place just outside the the kitchen door, The defeudant's mother being on the stand the luwyer began :-- "Well, where you when the first blow was struck?" " Down collar skimming milk and tying cloths over my preserve jars," she replied. "Where was your husband." "Ie was in the barn mending the harnesss and greasing tho wag- on." "Where was Sarah 7" 'Sarah was in the north bedroom changing the pillow casas in the spare bed." "Just so. You are a very busy family, Isce.
