" Aunt/Mnrjt," Bnid Mnry Car ter, suddenly, lnjing down the scissors which she had been for sonio timo twirling in her- fingers, and taking up her sewing as though in a great hurry. " Aunt Man " nveiir "Did you over haTo your for tune told ?" " Once," said ilrs. Carter, Bmil- ing, qtiietly. ; " Once 1 Pleasp, dear aunt, tell me about it,-, will you |" "Yea. I will go into tho kitch en first, and Bee if all is right, then I will tell you about it." Mrs. Carter saw that the mind of her nieco was ill at ^fiase. But as she did not know what troubled her, nor liked to solicit her confi dence, she was glad of tho opportu nity to tell the story, which she riglitly judged from the quostion Mary asked, would have a benefi cial effect; so Bhe began : " You have heard me speak of my earliest friend, Anna Clayton, but I never .told you how dearly I loved her. \ Her mother waa a widow, and Anna her oldest child ; my father had been her frieriH and guardian from childhood. Wo, Annie and I, were inseparable companions. Our natural tempera ments were not much aliko ; but philosophers say that the strongest attaclmionta are often formed be tween.persona of dissimilar disposi tions. I was always sanguine, gay, hopeful, and always in good spirits. Anna waa nervous, diilideut, and inclined to a pensive seriousness which suited veil the delicuto beauty of her Bweet face. But in one thing wo agreed, I mean we were alike, and that wus in loving and trusting each other. Our hearts ^w.ere alike; though our minds differed. " Well, -we had been true friends until I was abou^ nineteen, and never had a cloud of distrust or anger arisen between us. Your uncle, Chrrles Carter, then a law student, bad beon for a year or more devoted to roe, and lie only- waited to be admitted to tho bar, which event would take place in u few weeks, when ho would ask the consent of xny parents to our union. We folt quite euro of their appro bation, howevor, all, with me, was us bright as a summer morning, f " But my dear Anna's miud whs not quite at rest. She had had, or might have had, many admirers ; but she was very., delicato, and shrank from tho admiration which her beauty or fortune might com mand. And this thought seemed to oppress her more and more, I perceived after her acquaintance with Phillip Travers began. He w'as a young physician who camp that spring to settle ill OU1' village. Dr. Travers was one of 'tho most agreeable persons i. ever met; talented, intelligent, a man ; of veracity, respectful, and ever atten tive to our own sex, the kind of a man who is sure to please, - "Among his cherished senti ments, which many considered rather romantic, he held that it was 'almost always unfortunate for a man to marry a rich woman. He argued that the wholo. business of acqiiirhigpi'Opei'ty was man's work ; that he who had .wealth with his wife must givo up his independence,' and usually his happiness, in pur suant of jtlwiHfl principles, for he Tvas sincoro! Ho paid less atten tion'to Anna Clayton the only great boirpss in- our. village than to any other young lady. Ho was always polite-to hor, but distant aB though! he fearotl to bo number ed oven among her friends. Anna never complained of this coldness, but I fancied sho folt it, and that sho liked Mm. I was very much surprised,! therefore, when she proposed | that wo hould go to " Mother jCarey"; as she was called, to-have our fortunes told." " Was not Carey her real name I" inquired Mary, who listened moBt attentively to the story. " No," replied Mrs. Cartor, " her real namo was M'Grogor.TShe lived in ah. old hut which had been the home of some of_ the turnpike laborer! on the route between "Havorhill and. Andore'r. H ore nhe took up her abodo,Jand as it was a waste and unclosed piece of land, nobody- disturbed- her. She told fortunes, Anna said, and related Bomo wondorful things she had heard of her skill. I had never thought of tho matter I had agreed to go for, and though I felt sure of my lover, 1 was willing to give Anna an'opportunity of consulting the prophotess. " It was a beautiful morning in September; the walk was about two miles long, and we had been tripping along gaily until just as wo came in Bight of the hut, Anna then began to tremble, and with' great agitation -asked me if I thought we wore doing wrong to " tempt Providonco," as Bhe term- it, in thus seeking to look into futurity. Now I had no faith in Mother Carey; I considered the whole matter n frolic. Wo had had a find healthy walk, and so, with my usual high spirits, I laugh ed away any fears or scruplea, and on we went. The hut Btood on ', high ground, but we comforted ' ourselved by thinking that Mother Carey could not Bpy our approach, as there was no window. But just as we were turning the corner to reach the door, I happened to look up, and there, peering from a holo near the roof, I thought I saw a pair of keen black uyeS, and the iglimpso of a large nose that was familiar.1 " 'There iB Sarah Johnston,' said I to Anna. "We instantly stopped and gazed but nothing more of the- eye3 or nose could we see; but there was a strip of an old silk handkerchief dangling before tho opening. I had mistaken this for Sarah Johnston, who was very dark and very [thin, with such prominent features that some hold described her by saying that ' she had a nose, eyes, and mouth ;; all she wanted was a face.' We should have been much dis turbed, indeed, to have found her there ; she was almost like a news paper in our village ; she delighted in scandal and mischief making, and we knew she would make a most ludicurous story about us. As we stood considering whether it were possible for Sarah to T>e there at Buch an early hour, the door opened' and Mother Cury. came smilingly towards ub and invited us to come in. " ' I knew you wore coming,' she said, ;' whenever I dream of -white mice I know some beautiful young ladies are coming tp consult.me. Last night I dreamed of two white mice. So come in, pray, and I will tell you all you have in your ^hearts." "' But you have company in your hpusf) now, said I, looking as though: I knew it were so. " ' No, indeed ! Not a foot has crossed; my threshold this morning. I am alone.' " She noticed our hesitation, and advancing nearer, said "' Ilaiib alone, entirely alone, bo come in.' " And in we went. Sho then brought a dirty pack of cards, and told me I must begin, as I waa the older, j " ' You may guess again,' I said. " No,' said she, ' you have soen the roses bloom once more than she has,' pointing her bony finger at Anna.! "This was true; so wo bade her ' J f^l.OD per annum In Auraccc ho can find a sufficiont reason for leaving you.' " ' Ho shall soon havo ono,'- I said, laughing as 'carelessly an I Yos, it come out all right at last," said Mrs. Carter, " and, bo far, good carao out of ovil. But we Bufferod muoh, and our folly could. ' But pray dosoribe hitn.' I has been, on my part, a lasting go on, j ns that made me havo some faith in her. Sho told me to cut the cards. I did as she directed, and after she had shuffled she drew out some, and thon examined them with a very solemn look on .her face j at last she began to tell me about :tho past, and bo perfectly did she describe my family and the chief events in.my life, that I was fain to believe in her Bkill. Now came the trial; she told mo that I had for Bome.'time been receiving the addresses of a young gentle man, ;and we were nearly if not quite j engaged. ' " ' And yet,' she continued, 'he does not lovo y6u; he!did love yon,; for a time, but lately his heart has turned toward another, and he's1 only keeping up appearances until She said She could not, as his fate was not connected with mine. " ' But I will describe to you the man you will marry.' '" Proceed,' said f. .'1^ would like to see him. "Then she began and described Phil Traveri as accurately as she could have done- had ho Btood bo- fore us.; told his profession, and added j " ' Thia doctor loves you dearly ; he is only Waiting till you are " off with the old loye" ns tko song goeBi' " I stole a glance at Anrra.f Never shall I forgotjihe expression depioted on her Bweet face; her large dark eyes were fixed on me with such a gate of deep sorrow that I ran to hor, put my arms around her neck, kiss ed her, and whispered "'Never fear, Anna; X would not rob you of the lover you are bo worthy of.' " She tried to laugh gaily, and called the whole affair a joke, and then sai down to out tho cards .for her fortune. Here again" Mother Cary showed her rrkill ; she repeat ed to Anna bo many incidents of her paBt life, and described her mother so correctly that we wore almost compelled to "have faith, in her. It last she came to the love and marriago part: How shall I tell tny astonishment and indigna tion when I heard her describe your uncle, Charles Carter, as tho man wlrr/lovod ant^ would'bo/.the husband of Anna Clayton 1 I fait as though every drop of blood went] out of my body, and such a suffo cating sensation seized me that I ran out of the hut to catch my breath. Anna soon joined me, and said, in a trembling voioe^ '- ' " ' Oh, Mary, lot us go home I I wish we had never come here.' " My own heart joined in the wish, but I did not speak. Confi dence in my friend and lover -was shaken ; jealously had taken pos session of my whole mind; I .thought of everything X had heard CharleB Bay in praiBe of Anna, for getting that I had always been the- one who spoke of her first; and I began to envy and hate her. | " That very evening I treated Charlie so coldly, even insultingly, that he left me in an^er, and the next evening he called upon Anna, and asked hor if she knew at what I was offended. But of course she dared not tell him, and as I con tinued to treat him haughtily,^J>e accused me of caprice, and visited wholely at Mrs. Clayton's. So, to tease them both, I began a flirta tion with Dr. Travers, and though my heart'was aching, I never ap peared more gay. I fear I did not half captivate the doctor. Providence, in mercy to me if not to others, interposed to save me from that most guilty act, marry ing a man I did.not love. " At this juncture my brother Will returned from a long voyage. He had always had great influence over me. He soon suw that I waB not happy that I waa acting, a part, the termination of which would make me wretched. He knew I loved Charlie, and he in stated upon my telling him what had caused our separation. ' " ' Tell me the whole truth,' he said, ' nothing else_|will satisfy me.' ' " Then I told him all, and when I had finished Will sat silent for some time ; at last he aaked if I had not mistrusted who was the mischief maker. " ' Oh, yes,' said I, for just then I remombered how I fancied I saw Sarah Johnston peeping out of the hut, and told brother about it. " ' Yes, Yes/ said he ; now it is all plain to me that is what she raeartt.' " Then ho told mo how, one day, he had mot Surah in a .store, soon after he came -then she questioned him about the change he had found un his sister ; how she was to marry a doctor instead of a lawyer; and when Will de clared that he believed such a match would never take place, she said . " 'It will take place, and don't you try to hinder it; it is the de cree of fate, as your sister well knows.' i " ' Sho has made '.all this mis chief,' said Will, ' as H will prove to you before three days fro over.' . " And he .clid. He went to Mother Carey's and made her ac knowledge the whole truth; bow. Surah Johnston went, un hour bo- fore us, to her, and told her that two young ladies were coming to consult her, and ^wliat she must tell to please ua. We never found out how Sarah Johnston_knew we \yere. coming." , " And then you were rall v-econ- ciled," Baid Mnry j yon married uncle Charlie, nnd Anna married the- doctor. .How...nicely. it nil ended." regret,, for perfect confidence' be tween Anna and myself never waa restored. The chain of friendship, broken, may bo united, but never can bo again thought indastructble. But my.brother said, ' Mary, you have learned a valuable lesson, which I trust you will never for- get.'" "What was the lesson?" said Mary, " That truth is our strength and seotirity, and that falsehood and decoption, in the end, always leadi to disgrace if not destruction."

'The glories of a September sun could have been eung with full effect last Friday, while the sturdy lads ..and' haiidflome. lasses of Nas- sagiweya,' blended :their way on foot and in carriages to the annual fair of the township. They were there in full force w~ere .the " old man" and his buxom spouse. Smiling countenances'and cheerfat words bespoke the fruitful result of the harvest just gathered, and that all wereliow in a fit condition of mind to fully enjoy a day's rest and social meeting together./ The number of ^people nongregajed in and around tjhe show' ground was very large, while .the articles on exhibition were undoubtedly of a .superior character, and well repre sented the township's products. Thejtownship hall was well filled with a fine display of ladies' handi work, dairy produce, fruits, roots, grain, and other articles too numer. oub to mention. In the field, there,) was an excellent show of horses, and some very fine cattle, sheep and pigs 5 a fair show of ppultry. Altogether the exhibition may be said to have, been very creditable to the township. The society is fortunate in having courteous and pains-taking officers and directors, who seemed to have spared no efforts to have everything arranged in proper ordeT.
