AT THE GARDEN GATE, Jenet:Dudloy stood at the garden gate that lovely evening early in Soptomber, ; ip the road with anxious eyes. The faint light of the rising moon lay like. a blessing on her golden bead, and the air filled with the fragrance of the new mown bay, caressingly touched her fair, young face, Never prettier maid waited lover, and yot John Hallan's step Was slow and his faco ¢loudy as he emerged from thé shadow of the trees and camo towards her, Jenet opened the gate and stopped out to meet him. "Well, John ?" she said, and her voice trembled ever so little. The young took her tiny hands in his and woked down upon her--she was a wee thiug--with al- most a frown on his brow. "Uncle Roger is as obstinate as a mule," he said. "I have just come from a most wearisome interview with him. He insists that I shall return to my drudgery at Milk & Otters, or some oqually agreeable establishment, and forteit all claims upon him, or give him the promise ho aaks." " Well ?" said Jenet, again, gazing steadily into his face, and this time her voice did not tremble at all, but ber lover's did, as with half averted eyes ho made answer: "I should hate to go clerking again after being my own master so long, and, to own the truth, patronizing my old chums somewhat whenever wo met: and it seems too bad to fet such a fortune go to strangers, as Uncle Roger de- clares it shall if I don't come to terms. But the promise he asks is so absurd," "¢ Absurd', repeated Jonot slowly "Ts it so absurd when you think of it calmly? Your uncle wants to make sure of a pleasant companion for five years, and at tho end of that time wishes to choose a pleasant companion for that pleasant com- panion, thereby securing for himself two pleasant companions for the re- mainder of , his life--which. sounds lite something out. of one of Ollen- dorfl's books tor beginners, or a riddle," she continued with a laugh that had no merriment init, "And he offers you great inducements to become that companion, And, John, you have alwaye been discontented because your station in lifo was not a higher one, and more of the world's gold had not fallen to your share,-- And nsw that wealth and position are offore! you, it would be ' indeed to refuse thom for thesako of a poor country school-misiress." " Jenet, you are cruel." "Perhaps I am--in the way sur- goong aro cruel ; but I really think, John, the cure of your hurts is to accept your uncle's wishes." « And part with yoa." * And part with me, it is only too evidentithat considers mo totally unworthy the! honor of ever becoming the pleasant companion of that pleasant compan- ion." "tho young man dropped her hands, and caught her in his arms. 'You do not love me, after all," he said reproachfully. «I do love you," sho replied, at the same time turning her face away from his kisses, « And I have loved you ever since woe first wet, but I bave become convinced that as a poor man you would not be a success, John, and therefore I say, - obey your uncle, live the life for which yon lave longed, and get the fortune." x « By heavens I wiil not give you up I" ex- claimed Hallam, stung by her quiet saicasm « But Jenie dear, listen to reason, Promise to wait for me, to be true to me, and [ will diti Who t worthy gentleman | + | morning (they were stopping at a hotel in troth, John's uncle Roger, who had beeti the black sheep of the family, returned from labroad, like the famous black sheep of Babylaud, with three or more bags full, not of wool, however, but money, No, one knew where or how those bags had "'beeni filled, and no one seems to care. That they were filled appeared guito enough, for all 'doors flew open to him at the first "Daa." Among others who renewed their ac~- ntancé with Mr, Roger Vandergaas, now hed to admirabl , was his nephew, whom he had not seen since his childhood, and to whose mother he had not sent one line for fifteen years before her death. The old man received his young relative with great kindness, and being also i diately d by his hand face (which he secretly flattered himself resembled his own), his air debonair, and his fine tenor voice, declared his intention of making him his heir, commanded bim to resign his situation at Mink & Otter's--a d which the ded lost no time in obeying--and installed him in eles gant rooms adjoining his own at the §}8ky Hotel. But when Uncle Roger came to heat of the pretty village school-mistress, he was exceeding worth, and swore, with many strange and terrible oaths, that if John did not promise to remain a bachelor for at least five years, and when he did change his state, to marry his--Uncle Roger'sechoice back to work should he go, and not a penny from the three or more bags full should be ever bave.

To do John Hallam justice he was tired of the companionship, and at times had almost regretted entering into compact with the wicked old man. But on regain ing his liberty he congratulated himself on the cleverness-he had displayed, for though the larger portion of the fortune might be Jost, he had seen the gayest part of the Old World in its gayest dress, secured a snug sum of money, and was free to return to America and Janet. «Iam sure she is wait- iug for me," he said, "though she wouldn't answer ono of my letters, the proud inflex- able little thing." And back home he went post.haste--back to the village where had left the pretty young school-mistress. It was just such a lovely evening as that on which they parted when he found him self once more, this time with hurried steps. walking along the old familiar road. The birds were cherping "good-nights to each other, the air was full of fragrance, the great night moths were: humming in successful mimicry of the humming birds as they hovered over the blossoms that open beneath the stars, the crickets shrilled loud and merrily, the fairy lanterns of the fire-flies glowed fitfally on every side, and Janet--yes it was Janet the moonbeams koows what may happen in five years ?
