Mr. :wis had a dim percep. tion that he and his house would get on better without her ;but he never said so and she remained. Miss Winter went to the manteljziece, and turned her hour-glam. It was five o’clock, and the children flocked out of school. The Vicar, Miss Budd, and Miss Ilickhnrst fol- lowed. "Mr. Lewis," began the young lady, in a confidential tone, “don’t on think your scloolmisfrus is getting a ove her busi- ness 2" “In what le 2” he asked looking sur- prise}. " There is such atone of superiority about the young womanâ€"l mean implied superi- ority," added Miss Rii-khurst, correcting herself. " I have always thought there is much of real superiority about her," replied the Vicar. “ But hive never known anyone who, in manners mid convereation. gave one less the ideaas inplying it. And she gets the children on ntouishingiy; one might think, by their progress, she had taught them two years, imtead of barely one.” “ It is of no net) argue with John about Miss “’intcr," infarposed Mrs. Budd. “ He thinks her an augc, and nothing less." “No, I‘do not," laughed the Reverend John, “ I only think her very superior to y‘oung women in general.” And Miss r ickhur:t once rmre curled her haughty fps. Meanwhile, Mist Winter left the schOol- room, with her assistant, at sickly-looking girl of 15 or 16, named M try Brown. Ro- gina lodged at a farm-nous near, occupying a parlor and bedriom, and was partially waited on by the pmple of the house. As soon as they got 'n, Mary Brown, whose weak health caused her to feel a constant thirst, began to set out the teacups and make the tea. “ Mary," observoi Miss \Viuter, when the med was over, “y01 had better go up to your brother's for tbs 6 died, and to-m-urrow set am at making hisshirts; you know he was sc.-ldiug you yesterday at their not be- ing begun. Start at once or you will have it flunk. I will washup the tea things." Mary Brown put )0 her things and dc- pirtcd. But not long had she been gone when the parlor doormcned and a ta'l. fine young man, about Li:-and~twenty, walked in. Ho was dressed .n a green velveteen slim ting-jacket, icatlnr breaches, and gait- ers, ands grccn kerciicf was twisted lnosc- ly round ix's ieck. Alto rether, there was a careless, untidy looi a out him, and it might have puzzled a stranger to tell whether he was a gentleman or a man of a lower order. The tree would have been handsome (and, indmd, was) but for the willful, devil-may-ca'e cxpussion thut pro- vadefl it. His canplexii-n was fair, his eyes were blur, and ms light hair curled in his neck. This enteman was Mr. George Brown, universu ly inown in the village by the cognomen of "Brassy.” He had ac quired the appellathn when a boy; partly became he was giftel with a double share of that endowment fauiliorly called “ brass,” and partly becuusoln his boyhood he dis- played a curious pr: ensity of collecting to- gether odds b'ts l brazen metal. Once, when ayoung child, he had stolen a small brass ki-ttle, exposcf outside a shop for sale, lugged it home, undout it in his bed. His mother on going to lcr own room at nigi it, looked at Georgie, aid there he was sleep- ing, with the brass leftlc hugged to him. He had been "Brass' Brown’ since, and would be to the end if his life. Mr. Brassy Brown did not enjoy a first- rate reputation. He had inherited a liltlc land from his father, on which was a small house, where he livel, CIII(( “The Kill," and, though he cortahly could not subsist upon its proceeds aimsâ€"he had no other visible Insane of suppcrtâ€"he lived we‘~1,2:nd never seemed to lack uoney. He was upon friendly terms with be whole neighbour- hood, from Squire Ritkhurst down to the worst poacher in it ; inlccd, so intimate was he with the latter sispicious fraternity, that some eopic said is must be a ponchcr himsvif. 61ml recentl; his sitter had lived wiah him in lie cctt‘igv, no one else; but when Ms. Winter founl she wm ted some assistance in the school sle thought of Mary, compassionating the girl; lonely life, want of roper society, an wok health, and she took Mary to live with her. It may be questioned, however, if Mrs \Vinter would have made the proposal to 2‘10 girl had she foreseen that they should b. inundated with visits from hrr brother. When in coma in Miss Weber put down the book she was reading, paired out some hot water into a basin, and legan to wash up the tea things. “ Where's Poll?" began Mr Brassy. “ She's gone to the Kill for the calico," answered Reyina. “What a p;ty that she Will have her walk for nothiig !” " It will strefch her legs br her," return. ed Mr. Brown, sitting dowi in the chair from which Regina had riscu and extending his own long legs across the icaith. “ Now, Regina,"bc co: t‘nued, " I \uut an answer to that question of of mine.‘ “ What ucstion 2" she imuirtd, a crim- son huc fins inc Her face. “ Don‘t pretend ignorauc», Gina, for it wont go down with me h-niyht,” was Mr. Brnssy Brown’s rejoinder. “ You know what i have been asking you this your past: we are by ourselves now and I'll have it out. “fill you come up to the kill and make your home then, and be my wife?" “ Why do you persist in prsecuting mo thus l" exclaimed Regina, in stone of van.- tion.. “I have told you arendy that I could not be your wife.

The day was drawing toward its close, and the young charity children, assembled in the newly rcparcd school-room-of the small village oiI Littlrfoid, glancing im atl- ently through the windows at the aha ows cast by the declining sun; for none knew better by those shadows than they that five o'clock was near. “ First class, come up and sp:il," csihd out the overncss from behind her table by the win ow. I “There ain’t no time, Miss," replied one of the girls, with the easy fami'iarity apt to subsist between scholar and teacher in rustic schools. “It’s a'moat sleek on the stroke 0’ five." . The governess, a fair, pleasant-looking young woman, dressed in mourning, and far too lady-like in appearance for the paid mistress of a charity-school, glanced around the hour-glass, and saw that it wanted full ten minutes to the hour. " There is time for a short lesson, chil- dren," she said. “ I’ut aside your work and come up.” . The first class laid their scwmg on the bench, and were ranging themselves round the governoss’s table, when a young lady, in a hat and riding-habit, followed by a room, galloped past the windows, and reine in. " Uovcruesa l" l xclaimed a dozen voices, “ here’s Miss Rickhurst." “ Go on with your work, children ; what do on mean by pressing to the uindow; Di you never see Miss Ric-khurst before? Jane How ill, open the door.” “ How ’ye do, Miss Winter 2” said the young lady they had called Miss Rickhurst, carelessly nodding to the governess, as she entered. " How are you getting on I What class have you got up now 2" “ Sp:llin 1," replied Miss Winter. “ Jane How_ ill, w y don't you shut the door 2” “ ' ‘ausc hero’s Mr. Lewis and his aunt aooming up," answered the child. “ I’m a- kco ing it 0 on for them." It iss Ric hurst hastily rose form the governess’s seat, which she had unceremoni- ously taken, and went to the door to meet the new comers. Mr. Lewis, the clergyman of the parish, was a mock, quiet man of 80 years. It is certain he was not ambitious, for he fell within him an everlasting debt of gratitude to the noble patron who had step ed forward and presented him with this vi loge living and its stipend of £150 per auuum. lie had never looked for more than a curacy,and half the sum. His father, dead now, had been a curate before him, and be, the son, had gone to Oxford as a scrvitor, had taken holy orders, and strug led on. And uhen the Earl of Littlefor , who had silon tly been an eye-witness of the merit' and unas- suming duty of the poor young curate, pre- sented im unexpectedly with the little village church on his estate, John Lewis raised his heart in thankfuiucss to the Earl, who had thus under God put warn away from him for his span of life. Once inducted into the living, the Rever- end John Lewis worked undcfatigab‘y. Amon other good works, he rc-establisbed tho gir s‘ charity school, an anciently en- dowed foundation, which had fallen nearly into ahcyance, as many other ancient chari- ties have in the present day. The mistress of it, Damn Fox, was old; so Lord Little- ford and the clergyman superanualcd her, and looked out for another; and while they were looking, Mist Winter, the daughter of Farmer “’mtcr who was just dead, went up to Litticford Hall and raked for the situa- tiou. The whole villago likan ilcgina \Vintcr; although she had rewind an oduoition, and, for five years of her life, enjoyed a horns (with her dead mother's London rela- tives) far above what Littlefonl thought suitable for a working farmer's daughter. They likewise took numerous liberties with her name. Regina I it w; if one they could not become familiar with, so some called her (line, many Ginny, and a few brought out a short “ Gin." After her father's death, she found that scarcely any provision was left for her; and, assho one day sat musing up- on whst should be her course, the servant Nomy, a buxom woman of forty, who had taken care of the house since its mistress died, now ton 'ears ago, suddenly suggested that she should apply for the new place. " What place 3 ' asked lligiua. “The schoolmiasis's," replied Nomy. “ The Earl and the parson are a-wsnting to find one, and they do say. in the Village, it will be a matter of £30 a year. Surely you'll do, Miss (liny, with the grand cdica- tiou you've had." “ Too much education for a village rChOOI- mistress," thought Re viua. “ But it would keep me well, with win: mu. 1 have be- sides." “Go up to Littleford flail; go right up yourself; Miss Gina, with your own two good legs," slvired Nomy. “Nothiug like applying to the fountain hral onc's s: f, if business is to be done," added the shrewd school.” “ Iwas but the son of a working curate," he wh'spered. “ \Vc were four childan and my father and mother, all to subsist u on seventy pmnds per year. I am indeth to charity, which helped to educate me, for being in the position I now am. A work- ing farmer was immeasurably above us, Regina. “’e are both alone in the woer ; we have no ties or kindred to consult ; from otlwr." _ The news traveled forth to the Vlillgf’, throwing up a fine hubbub in its wake; the Reverend John Lewis w:.s about to marry Regina Winter. Mrs. Buld was leased to be satirical over it, Miss Rick- iurst was indignant, and lirassy Brown fur- was. “What on earth possessed you to do it, John l" exclaimed Mrs. Budd to her nephew, when he came into the Vicarage at dinner-time the day she first heard the tid- in s. g“ Do what?" cried the Reverend John, with aconscious look and that suspicious hectic rising to his cheek. “You have been offering yourself and your name to the charity school-mis- trcss they say,” retorted the aunt, who feared the introduction of a wife might lead in her losing her snug home at the Vicarage. “ You must be out of your senses, John?” “ \Ve shall be able to find another govern- ess for the school," answered John, evasive- ly. “It is past one, aunt. Is not dinner ready '1" “Dinner! You’ll get bread and cheese to-day for dinner, if you get anything," resorted Mrs. Build. “I and Betty have been too much upset; this morning to think of cooking. Oil, John, you are a great fool I you might have had Miss Rick- burst.” “ Miss Rickhurst I” exclaimed the Vicar, opening his eyes at the assertion. . “Miss Rickhurst, yes," mimicked the lady, “if you had not been mire blind, more simple, than anybody ever was yet." ” I don’t want Miss Rirkhurst,” answer- ed the young clergyman, “ Let her marry in her s here of life; she would have domineere me out of house and home." These events happened in March. The Vicar proposed being married in May, until which time Regina had t) retain her place in the school. One day in April, as she was walking home from its duties, she suddenly came upon Brassy Brown, who was looking over the hedge. “I have been watching for you, Gina,” he said, very quietly. “I want to hear from your own lips whether it’s true that you have promised to marry that cursed parson l” ' “ Yes, it is true,” she timidly answered, not seeing how she could deny, to him what was public news. “ How came you f0 conceal it from me all the time you were fooling me on ?" “I fooling you on i” uttered Regina, in surprise. “ \Vellâ€"iet that pass. Why did you not tell me you loved the black-coat 2" “Iâ€"I could not tell what Iâ€"did not know,"stammcred Regina, a blush dyeing hrr cheeks. “ Bush I don’t make excuses to me. I’d stake my Skye terrier against his holding“ forth sermon~book that there has been love between you two this many a month past- \Vhat is it you hAVe got in that paper parcel I" “It is only some work," said Regina. “Good morning, Brassy. Mary is gone home already. Shc will wonder where I am. ’ “ Let hf-rwouder. I say, Regina, you re- member what I told youâ€"that I’d taken an oath. I‘llkeepit yet, and lave you sooner or iaft r. " The words might have imparted to Miss Winter a sort of dread, but that Brassy Brown was smiling as he spoke themâ€"and a pleasant smile was Mr. Brassy’s, with all his imp. rftctions. I’It‘l‘ spirits rose at seeing that smile, anl she arrived at the conviction that ho was for etfiog his pn-fcrruce for hcr. It pleased or much. Setting Luise persccutions aside, and a few slips of langu- age hc Wis wont to indulge in, she did not dulikc Brassy, and had nevt-r thought so ill of him as some in the parish were disposed to do. “ Won't you shake hands before you go 2' asked Mr. Bunny. She held out her hand over the gap in the hedgc. He shook it warmly ; and away she went, silently thankful that all shimm- ity between Brassy Brown and herself was over.
