All were simply but neatly dressed in white, with blue ribbons, for this is exhibition day ; and a very pretty picture they made; at leusc so thought several young men who occupied one \cor- ner of the apartment, waiting for the exercises to begin. A sort of stage of platform had been erccted, where the young ladies were to read their essays, sing their songs and reccite their valedictories; after which came thedestribntion of premiums and awarding of the gold medal ; and many were tho opinions as to who should be the recipient of this bagde of honor. If Bessie Grey had any thoughts on the subject she did not express them; and no one standing their listening to her lively prattle, had any idea of the wild tumult within her bosom, of which the laughing face gave no 9] evidence except the alternate flush and pallor of dimpled cheeks as hope or fear struggled for the mast ery. At last the bell sounded once, twice, three times, and each girl took her appointed place behind the curtain, and when all was in read- iness, the signal was given, the, curtain raised, and the exercises be- gan. Ono after another performed her part until Bessie Grey stood alone before tho audience to deliver the closing address.

Miss Bessie Groy.' A loud shout of applause followed this announcement; then the good. byes were hurriedly spoken, and ero long. the lately thronged school- room was quite vacant. But what of Bessie Grey? Her protty face was flushed with honest happin- ess as she walked toward her home with her parents, and they were well pleased with the daughter who had acquitted herself so credit- ably and many a fond smile they be- stowed upon her. But her joy was not alone because they were pleased. Uppermost in her thoughts was a manly face upon whichsho had seen a smile of approval, as she grace- fully accepted the long toiled for honor; and it was for that smile she had toiled so long and faithfully. Bessie was an only child. Her father's prido and tho darling of her mother's heart ; but like ¢many an 9 | other she had bestowed her affec- tions on one whom papa thought un- worthy of his daughter's love. -- Therefore, unknown to either father or mother, she had promised to marry Guy Welton as soon as sho should become eighteen years of uy was a rising young lawyer, possossed of a good moral character. and mennt to make his mark in the] world. Tis principle mark of un. "l'vicks but both he and Bessie fondly hoped that' within the year that must pass ero their fates should 'be unfted, "he would bé able to lay up sufficient to make a comfortable start in life. Time passed until winter's fiest: snows were falling, when Bessig's 'trouble began.' Mamma Grey, was anxious that her Jaughter should, make a grand match, so invitations and beguly assembled were not 'to be slighted ; and the winter moved on amid a round of gayeties of which Bessie was fast becoming weary.

[Worthiness was a lack of green= = Then what would her papasay when he heard that she had rejected the most illegible match in the city ?-- But rejected he should. be, for she must and would marry Guy Welton let the consequence be what they might. Thursday night arrived, and Mrs. Brown's parlors were filled to over- flow with the elite of the city.-- Bessie looked her prettiest, and en- deavored to enjoy herself, Bat there was an ache at her heart, in spite of her assumed gayety, she would much rather have been sitting quietly at home. At last, weary of excitement sho sought the conservatory. 'I will admire the flowers and think of Guy,' she mused, and let that odious Harry Carlton bestow his smiles on some one more sensi- ble of his charms.' She walked from one plant to an- other, and stopped to admire a rose, when she heard tootsteps behind her. Imagine her dipleasure when turn. ing "round she beheld the odious Carlton himself, not ten steps behind her, bowing and smiling in his most fascinating manner. 'Wearing bis Sunday grin as usual," muttered she; but quickly hiding her displeasure, she commen ced a lively badinage determined if possible to give him no chance to make his declaration. But he was not to bo thwarted, for, seating him self on a bench near which they wero standing, and gently drawing her down beside him be began :-- ¢ Miss Grey, [have long waited for an opportunity to speak to you alone but it seemed fortune had not been inclined favour me.

'No, Miss Grey you have not en- mo; but . knowing that your parents regard me with favor, I have dared to hope. But your friends aro seeking you good nigh,' and without waiting for any further reply he was gone. Bessie was glad when the hour of She was tired and weary and her head had scarcely touched the pillow when she fell Next morning at breakfast, Mus Grey said: -- 'Bessie, daughter, why did Harry Carlton leave so suddenlyt las night? A short time kefore he went, IT was told that he was with you in the conservatory. I hope you did no- thing to offend him.' I told hinx I could not love him,' Bessie replied. 'What! you rejected Harry Carl- ton ? Bessie I am astonished | The best match in the city! Why did you refuse to be his wite ?' fe did not ask me to be his wife He merely wanted to know if he might hope, and I told him I could give him no hope, 'Well I gave you credit for more sense than you seem to posses,' said Mrs. Grey. She deemed it 'prudent' to let the subject drop 'here, however, Bessie bad notrefused point blank to become Mrs. Carlton, there might be still a little room for hope. Four months passed rapidly away and Bessié bad one month more to wait before 'she would 'be cighteen yearsiold. She way sitting in her room. thinking of the grand party which, her mother said must be | given on that day, when a servant entered and Tid a note on the table How her heart beat as she picked it up It/ivds from Gay and 'ran' as follows: 'My darling Bessie :--I have com- pleted, all , arrangements, 'and am ready | to claim my bride. = Apswer thia and let me know when and where 1 shall' meet you. 1d "Yours! until death, i janes Gov.' fied aidient's hesitation sho sbo wrate {he following reply :-- iMy precious Guy:--We are to have a grand party on my. birth day, which occurs one webk from to- night Twill moet you on the fol lowing evening, at seven o'clock, 'uniter thé'big elm; near the carriage iy Left bo gato. sii: " Forever your own, Bessie, if plate the step she was about to take. But ut last the eventful oven: ing arrived and was hailed with joy by all except Bessie. She scemed sud and melancholy, though sbe strove toappearcheerfyl and happy. She had some twangs of conscience and she could mot banish the thought that perhaps after to-night she might never again enter the home which had sheltered her in childhood. Still she bad no heart for retracting her promise to Guy. The party was a grand snceess, and Mrs. Grey wus happy for Harry Carlton was present, and she could perceive no change in his manner toward Bessie. So she still cherished tho hope of sceing him Bessie's husband. But within the next forty-eight hours she learned how vain was her hope, Tho next evening Mr. and Mrs. Grey went to take tea with a friend. Bessie declined going and her par- ents supposed she was tired out with last night's excitement, they did not urge her to accompany them, As soon as the door closed after them, Bessie repaired to her room to prepare for her departure.

There was great confusion in the Grey household when it was dis- covered that Bessio was missing, | Mr. and Mrs. Grey when they learn. from a note found on the tablo that | she had gone to be the wife of Guy ! Welton. In fact papa Grey declar-| ed he would never recognized ber, much less allow her to enter his house. £0 a month sped away, and it was rumored that in a fow days Mr. and Mrs Welton would return. Accord- ingly three days after when the one P. M. train camo puffing into the depot, it brought among other pas- sengers a newly married pair. A handsome carriage drawn by a spir- ited coal black horses, was waiting to carry them home. Bessie did not expect to see such a splendid con- veyance, but a much greater sur- prise was yet in store tor her. The carriage stopped in front of a hand- some residence ; Guy assisted ber to alight and led her up the broad steps where the door was thrown open, and an elderly matron whom she recognized as Guy's mother, welcomed her home. Never was a bride more happily sur- prised, for a luxurious home it proved to be. The house was furnished with every com- fort which wealth could procure, and when Guy explained her happiness knew no bounds, Two months previous a bachelor brother of Mrs. Welton senior had died, leaving Guy sole heir to a million of dollars.
