Two young girls were in their room dressing for - horseback ride. Ellen More was jnst 18, short and plump, with dancing gray eyes, bonny browu curls ana rosy cheeks. She wore « Muck riding habit, which was relieved l>y a simple buvch of scarlet geraniums and white olive blossoms nt her throat. Kuhy Rao was taller by three inches t'um her cousin, and her form and "feat­ ures were of rarest loveliness. Her iu sinner at times was dignified, reserved and haughty, and again merry and un­ restrained as Ellen's. Her big biaclt eyes could sparkle with mirth, soften with affection, or blaze with aiig.-r. To-day thev shone their merriest in anticipation of a rare treat. She waa a Northern girl, just out of. school, ami making her first visit to the South. She loug had desired to'become an ac-coiu plislied horsewoman, aud bitde fair t- realize her with. Be ing perfectly fear lews, her first lesson proved altogether Biitislact- irv, and to-day she hopL-d to adti to her repntiition. Her habit was similar to her cousin's, the scarlet aud white blossoms enhanc­ ing the brilliancejof her complexion aud adding a deeper shade to her diisky lia-.r, while the close-tittiug dress outlined her perfect figure. Picking up th< ir whips, the girls de­ scended to the front •* gallery," where stood thi groom holding their horses. Ellen's was a large bay, restive as her­ self. He stood pawing the ground im­ patient to be off. "You b tter be keerful, Miss Ellen; Mazeppa he mighty skeery to-day." "Nevermind, Sally Ann. He knows me. You and I are good friends, are we not, MHZ< ppa V " said kllen, patting her favorite on the neck. He pricked up his ears, but stood still, while sht> mounted unassisted. Tije> mutual furnished for Ruby was small, but fl< ct as a deer. Saliy Ann, as the negroes had nicknamed the groom, led him tip to the st ps, and in a moment both girls were out of the gate aud down the road through the planta­ tion. "Go way ! Miss Ruby ain't no new Veginner, alio ! " said Sally Ann. gazing in admiration aftt r the retreating figures. They had ch sen to dispense with his attendance, much to his mortification. " How the wiud blows!" exclaimed Ruby. " Yes; it will probably rain about to­ morrow. Then we may bill farewell to horseback riding for a while, b causj in wet weather the roads are most impass­ able." " Then let us not mind a little wind. But who is that comijag ? " '• W here ? O, that is Emory Lloyd," said Ellen, with deepening color, shak­ ing her curls into order. " Well, and who is Emory Lloyd? " "The son of our next neighV>or. He has ju«t returned from the city or you would have seen him before. I dare 6av he has been to call on us now. Good evening, Mr. Lloyd,1' as he slackened his {*»oe. "Good morning. Miss Ellen. You are enjoying your favorite exercise, I see," said he, lifting his hat and bowing low. " I have just left your tether, wh< > told me you had gome out for a consti­ tutional." "Tea, and I fear it is the last I shall take for a while. Those clouds lo>k rather threatening. Allow me to intro­ duce vou to my Yankee cousin. Miss Roe, Mr. L'oyd." "Welcometo Dixie-land, Miss Rae.

We are always glad to see you, even when you do not b<-ar offerings. However, as we are not going directly home, you may bring tlu-in and save me the trouble of carrying them about, for I am wofully lazy." They chatted a few minutes longer, then separated, Mr. Llo\ d to pursue his way down the coast, and the girls to re­ sume their interrupted gal op. They flew by the pretty white cottages tiir.t graced one side of the road, soar eel v turning their heads to notice the smooth lawns, climbing vines and orange trees laden with yellow ripe fruit. It being the time of low water, an occasional glimpse of the river was all that couid be had over the high levee. Entering the open gate of a small plantation, ihe girls rode slowly through the negro quarter, nodding pleasantly to the inmates who came to the door to greet " de young misses." The quarter was a row of one-story huts arranged on each side of a road. (3 > i S'Jnc plantations the overseer's house is situated at the head of these hovels, and differs from them in nothiug but size. Between the quartei and the sugur- bouse was a large square covered with burning trash from the cane-earrier. In many of tne larger mills this refuse is used for fuel. Glinting reason was almost over, but there was souie cane yei standing. At this time it was a little yeiMW from the recent frost, but early in the season a tiekl of Ciine is a pretty sight - looking, when there is a slight breeze, Hke a bil- ••ou v green sea and being bevral shades 1 glitor than a cornfield. The hands, 'uen aud women, were at work; some •utting with t'he long, hooked cane- knife, some loading the three-mule carts, and other* driving these clumsy, vule wheeled vehicles. Riding aloug tear the workers was a vonng man, spy­ ing whom, Ellen exclaimed: " Let us hasten by befora he can 6ee who we are, Ruby. See him qu cken his gait to cross our path ! He is Mr. Llo\ d's brother, just returned from Eu­ rope. He doesn't know us, though, and t will b« fun to punish his eiuiositv. I lon't see why he didn't call with Em­ ory. " They gave rein and dashed by with twinkLng eyes and coquettish glances back at the inquisitive stranger. But they had gone not further than half an acre when snap went Ellen's stirrup- ntrap. Mazeppa was in too high spirits for her to venture to ride without a stir­ rup, so, slackening their speed and turn­ ing back With rueful faces, they craved assistance of him they would hive avoid­ ed. E len knew the name of the fair knight, but had not been introduced, as he was a recent acquisition to society. He had only the day before arrived from Europe, where he had been traveling after his graduation at Edinburgh. lotioduein!/1 hers It and thi-u Ruby, F/leu showed him her detached stirrup, •ind requested him to replace it. ffe d smounted and hastened to do her bid­ ding, taking a wonderfully long time to accomplish the task, meantime chatting most pi dsahtly. " Yon are. trom th<* North, Miss Rue, nre you rot? " said he in the course of the rnmb iug talk. "Yes, I came South to eat sugar-cane and to learn to ride horseback." " Do you mean to intim itu that you nre i» novice at horsemanship ? I took you both to lie experienced equestvi- ennes from tlte meteoric manner in which you flashed by me." " No, this is but my third lesson." I should tlunk you would lie afraid of falling from so unaccustomed a seat " " Tlw* idea trf Itubv fearing anything," laughed Ellen. " She has Kept, ahead of me this evening in a manner most provoking. I shall have to be looking to my laurels.-" By this time the repairing was done, the young man reluctantly surrendering the stirrup to Ellen's foot. Just then a boat whistled at the landing. "There! I am obliged to take tbnt boat for the citv. I was hoping that, it would be late and that you would allow me to accompany you to open the gates," stid he, in a disappointed tone. He remounted, and, expressing Uhe hope that they soon would become bet­ ter acquainted, lifted his hat and rode toward the river. They took no he' d of his caution against fast ridiug, but started off again at full speed, going about the same distance as before, when Ruby felt her saddle turning. She drew the bridle, removed her foot from the stirrup, and jumped lightly to the ground in time to escape a fall. Gath­ ering ' up lier riding-skirt in high glee, «h<* cried : "Now what are we to do? I cannot straighten that saddle. Isn't this fun ? lust, like a novel, I declare ! Oh ! theie (| is our ga'lant knight dashing back to soe how much damage is done. See. fbat ; saddle is turned completely over ! What ^ if it had turned the other way ! " Are you hurt? How did it happen? Von are sure yon are not hurt?" anx- timwly inquired young Lloyd, throwing himself from his horse and hastening towird Ruby. "She stood with lier linbit, gathered up •in one hand and the bridl« in the other, foer eyes dancing, her cfieeks flu*h<-d. ainfi her white teeth gleamuig through her rosy lips. " We :ire uufortnnate to-davt Mr. L'oyd,'"-said she, and she looked as if ske enjoyed mi-fortune. " We are sorry to'have to trouble yon cgain.

Emory wiil return w.tii him; then we will show , you what Southern pleasuring is." As Ellen had predicted, in a few days the young men returned, and the new­ comer soon became as frequent and wel­ come a visitor as his brother. Mr. M< 're's hospitality was unbound­ ed and his house was always full to overflowing with meVry youths and maidens. Hence not a day came with­ out its round of frol.e. The days were spent in visiting the different sugar mills, in strolls through the surround­ ing country, and in excursions on the river, both by steamboat and oared-bo;»t. For those who wished to stay at. home there were archery, croquet and other out-of-door amusements. For the even- in .'S were charades, impromptu concerts by the plantation hands, and dancing parties at which a couple of superannu­ ated negroes acted as musicians. Ruby was called upon to read and charmed all by her perfect personations, comic, pa­ thetic and tragic. She was the blight, particular shir round which the leaser lights circled. And Ellen was not a whit jealous or envious. Her generous, af­ fectionate nature had naught but hom­ age for her gifted cousin. Best of all were the moonlight strolls on the levee or about Mr. More's spa­ cious grounds, or the oozy evenings when none called but Emory and Frank Lloyd. All other suitors were in de­ spair when »tliey saw Ruby's marked preference for the handsome graduate. Thej came, and went away resolved iievcr to return. But the sparkling eyes and musical voice of their enchantress woo^d them from their determination aud they again ventured within the charmed circle only to become more and more bewitched. On-* morning, a short time after the memorable ride, Mr. More hat! business in the next parish. He asked the g.rls if they would like to go with him in the carriage. They eagerly assented. Soon they were on the way, traveling at a lively rate, Mr. Mir«'s fine horses being hi excellent spirits. Before long the clouds that all day had been floating lazily in the sky gathered together and fell in a brisk shower. A colored man passing in a wagon got down aud helped to put up the curtaMis. The rain, how­ ever, still came iu through the front As they were near Mr. Lloyd's planta­ tion gate, Mr. More suggested that they go into the sugar-house until the cloud snould pass. "Yes, yes," quickly agreed both girls. " Ah, ha 1 I remember no *. This is the day the boys were to visit the mill. I wondered why you were so eager to take a long, dry ride with an old man like me. You are witches both < f you, and kuew something would happen to detain us here." -They merrily disclaimed any fore­ knowledge of the accident As they hoped, the young men were in the mill and hastened to welcome their guests. The elder Mr. Lloyd, cooling iu just here, carried oft' Mr. More to look at some imjjrovemonts he had been devising, declaring that the children were big enough to take care of themselves. Emory -"Jid EUen betook themselves to a secluded corner where 'hev might, have a cozy t.alk with no in­ quisitive lookers on, aud Frank offered to initiate Ruby into the mysteries of -usar-making. " Th-iv stroll d about, ho proving a most devolved teacher and she a remarkably attentive pupil. But if any on.> had been near to listen to the conversation he wonld have discovered that the subjects, iu some subtle manner, drifted into that dangerously-fascinating topic which causes the cheeks to flush, the eves to grow tender and the pulsa­ tions of the heart to become delicious throbbing". Yes. thev were in lo<*e, and the minutes flew by unheeded as they conned tbe pages of the story old, yet ever new. All too soon the sky cleared, and Mr. More came to say that he must pmree l on his jovrrrtev. Ruby loup^l to return home and indulge th" new and indefina­ ble sensation that had taken possession of her; but, fearing the raillery of her uncle and cousin, she endeavorel to take her part in the desultory conversa­ tion. She was relieved to find that Ellen was herself too much preoccupied to notice her pensiveness. Returning home in time for a late dinner, Ruby pleaded extreme fatigue as an excuse to escape to her room. Here she reviewed with glowing cheeks the dialogue of the afternoon and fell asleep to continue it in her dreams. He next evening Emory imd Frank called as USUAI. AS it was -a clear, bright ni rlit, they took their chairs out upon the veranda. After talldng for awhile, Frank requested Rnbv to pet her shawl and walk with him along the river. She eomnli°d, but with a flutter­ ing heart, for she anticipated the dec­ laration which followed. •" Do you know why I adked you to walk ?" said he abruptly, after they had proceeded for a time in silence. " To see the reflection of tbeskv upon tbe water? Isn't it l>eatttifnl?" said Ruby, but keeping her eyes turned away from him. " Yes, the night is glorious. But that is net the reason. I wished 1w make a confession. To cofrfees that 1 'have dared to look with mort d aff cti(W on an angel of beautv and goodness. "That I have dared to wish t» shrine her in my own home.

You do not take your hand frou, tmv arm. Will you allow me to guide you through life as well as along this pleasant shore ? May I cbiiaa this little iiand as mine? Will yon be my wife-- my own precious wife?" Slowly she placed her hand in his. He clasped it close and raised it to liis lips far one long, passionate kiss, then drew her into his arms. The happiest time of their lives had come. And it was a true happiness, for eaefh was worthy of the other. &cby was the daughter <nf sensible parents wh® had trained thvir child to domestic as well as social duties.

Added to this holid foundation were the graceful Accomplishments and Iwilliant, though ^pod-natlured wit, that ever drew around >ker an admiring circle. Her disposition was aeturally warm and im­ pulsive. bat a geacrally sound judgment gave her scoper self-control. She was frank and honest Contact with the world had aot yet tuiglit her to hide her better feeling under a mask. There was, therefore, no coquetting with the object of her *flectii*x She gave her hand freely, thoagli tremblingly, to the <otie who had possts^ed her heart for weeks. Her lover was a true Southerner-- eliivalrous, warm-hearted and warm- headed. His 1 >fty form and dignified bearing commanded respect, while his winniug courtesy and true manliness gained him a speedy place in the hearts , of his associates. 1 Frank urged att immediate union. Emory and Ellen were to be married in a few weeks and he thought there might as well be a double wedding. " That is impossible. We must firtt ask my parents' tsonsent I oould not marry any one without that. Then I am an only child, and they never would hear to my marrying away from home." "Bat, darling, your parents know our family well. I shall write to them to­ night. Beside, you are at your own uncle's house, and your father and mother might come here. They would thus, also, escape a long, cold, Northern winter." " Yes, but how oonld I get ready in that time ? I think we had better wait until spring. I will return home next week, consult mamma and papa, and give you an answer as soon r.s possible. There, dear, do not persist You don't know how stubborn I am. Think what nice long letters we can write to each other 1" i He was forced to yield, though with a sigh, atrfl they soon joined the others. Ellen was loth to lose her oousin BO suddenly, but consoled herself with the thought that in a few months they would again be together. With her accus­ tomed generosity she sacrificed her de- fcire to have Ruby for her bridesmaid in order that she might the sooner leave for home. The days and weeks came and went slowly to tht impatient lover, but more quickly to Ruby, who had the diversions and occupations incident to a bridal preparation. At last came merry May, when Ruby and Frank were wed. Rubv was resplendent in white satin, filmy lace and odorous flowers--bdauty's tit emliellishment. The bridegroom was happiness personified, and one and all prouounced it a most joyous occasion. The ceremony was performed at home, in the midst of loving friends aud rela­ tives. Among the latter were Emory I and Ellen Lloyd, then on their bridal J tour. After the pronouncing of the sol- | emu words came the reception.0 Then j Ruby bade farewell to her tearful pftr- j ents, and the newly-wedded pair joined ! Emory and Ellen in the carriage which I was to take them to the depot Thenoe they were to go to Boston, where they would take the steamer for Enrope. Never waa a bridal party followed by more hearty good wishes or--more old shoes, thes& latter thrown by the ador­ ing servants, who had been in Mr. Roe's employ siuoe Ruby's infancy.

Another woman followed them bearing a peculiar- shaped parcel.

He prefers to live out of town for the sai^e of the children. He is J rarely late at business, rises etirly, gardens a little, eats a hearty breakfast, and goes to the necessary labor with a light heart and a clean conscience. He often brings home pleasant sur­ prises for his wife aud children. You may recognize him iu trains loai'.nl with parcels, which he good naluredly carries with perfect unconcern of what others think--a new bonnet, music, books, a <;loak for his wife; whiie iu another parcel the wheels of a cart, a jsck-in-the- l>ox, a doll, or shipping rope, intrude through the puper aud suggest the nursery.

The humanizing influence of that darling red-cheeked little fellow who caEs him father brings a glow aud rap­ ture of the purest pleasure earth holds; for the man who has never felt a tiny handclasp his wilE always lack something --he will be less human, less blessed than others. This is the noble, the honest, the only 1 form ii life that imparts real content­ ment antl joy, that will make a deathl>ed i glorious, and love see peace through its i tears.

Cookery is one of the fino arts. Print­ ing is said to be, "the art preservative of all arts," but oookiug really deserves this preminence.< For what would be­ come the printer if he had nothing to eat? Although the wisest of me- he can­ not. as some suppose, subsist upon the east wind. The roast beef of Old Eng­ land has won for the doughty little is­ land a thousand victories upon sea and land. The Scotchman's lias made him as hardy as the rocks of his Highlands. Every married lady knows that the key to her lord's favor (and pocket-book) is not sentiment, uot flattery, not the much bepraised twining and clingiug hke the graceful vine about the noble oak, etc., but a good dinner. When all else fails this is infallible. The cookery of different nations is as various as the countenances, manners, and customs of the people. It ranges from the bird's nest soup of the Chinese to the succulent 'possum' of our South­ ern States. The French have positive genius for cookery. Thev prepare the most delicate and delightful dishes from material which a wasteful American housewife would throw away. But with all their cutiuary genius they never attained to that trau- soendant triumph of gastronomic ait, a Yankee pumpkin pie. Would it not be an admirable plan for different nations to become better ac­ quainted with each other's cookery?
