But there came a time in Betsey's school- days, when for two whole winters she had a champion. Mortimer Bliss came down from the North'to stay with his aunt, Mrs. Brewer, and go to school. He was fourteen at that time, about Betsey?s age, but her op- posite in every respect. Handsome, gen- erous, and full of Animation, he was as mich loved by all as she was disliked. His love been an old maid; but some good fortune took her away ten miles, to an aunt's, to do up her fall sewing. There she made other acquaintances, went about some, and finally paseed the winter. For some reason, Bet- sey appeared to much better advantage away from home; she was no longer Bet- soy, who at school had been teazed by half her mates and laughed at by the ether, but Miss Morse. of justica caused kim often to become the The first place that Betsey went to from Uncle Ben.

Bronson's, one of the best and richost farmers of the town, There was a large family, and her services were required a month or more. -- While there she daily saw the oldest son, Levi Bronson, go in and out; but she was 80 accustomed to pass through the world un- noticed, that she never droamed the quiet, sensible man, whom every oue, even his own fatlier, looked up to, bestowed a second thought on her. She had so little idea of-at- tracting so superior a mar ho scemed to be, that there was nothing antiticial in her manner whenever he addressed his conver- sation to her, nor did she appear to any less advantage for that. She did not know that the cultivation and knowledge of the world which Mr. Bronson possessed, enabled him to kee deeper into her mind. than she did herself, and consequently, when she ro- turned to Mr. Slocum's, although she was pleased to vee him come in every evening, she did not' dream that his visits wete in- tended for her, She knew that she passing a delightful winter, the happie: in- deed taat she ever remembered, but she did not mquire into the cau In many re- speets Betsey wos still a child. It was, however, with some confusion that she announced to her uncle that he need not be to the trouble of taking her home, as Mr. Bronson wus gomg over to Pineville the next day to go with him. and bad. asked her Uncle Ben, amused at her apparent simplicity, made no remark, but the next morning, as he looked from the dining-100m window und saw Levi assisting Betsey into the cutter, and arranging the robes,eto protect her from the cold; he suid Belscy gots sieh a husband by coming over here, she hasn't done so slow.

It was not an inapt figure of her future, either. She r cally began to think herself of some consequence in the world, after all. The respect and confi- dence which her future husband showed her, inspired her with a new feeling --con- lidence in herself. The time that intervened between the en- gagement and the wedding was a season of quiet but mtense happiness to Petsey. So much more joy had fallen to her lot than ghe had ever anticipated, that she wondered what she had done to deserve it ; and when the wedding day came, and passed, and after a short bridal trip Betsey was installed in hernew hone, she felt that for her life had just begun. Her husband was neither brilliant nor vivacious, but Le was uniform- ly kind, and one of thos rare men in whose uprightness we confide without fear, and Betsey appreciated him, which is suying something for her. Many of her old school- mates who were in the habit of regarding her with contempt, might have taken a pat- tern from her thorongh hou keeping, aud covied her the affection which ler husband manifested toward ler.

Both of the reptiles we kept none casd with a glass opening at the side, and the keeper was en- bin the act of feeding them when the evant occurrad. The longer of the snakes --the boa constrictor--which is some thirty tect long, and as large round the middle as a man's thigh, had just swallowed two rab- CR aR VA reaching a third to the anaconda,.at the Ler now, through the develog and self-knowledge which had come with her maturer yoars, that she had been guilty of deceit towkrds her Liusband, in keeping th knowledge from lim, «| always knes went on, "that spiteful Will He pk toid the ruth when he said that Monsner never would have thought of moe if he had lived to marry. 1 know that what he did for me was out ofkiuduess, but after lie died I was so lonely that, younz as | w [{] as, 1{ could not belp dwelling on the memory of | ono who had befnended mo so otf, and 1 | felt some way ulad that, as he was dead, he never could bb He seemed to b of this, Levi," wything to anybody else. ag to me. | do not speak | sie continged, sul more earnestly, «because 1 do not feel pesfectiy "satisfied with my lot in life, A woman accustomed to appreciation and kinduess could rof have loved you as | have, but | | believe Lam a better woman that I did have {even an imaginary ction to keep my > years, aud I have | been thinking, that if it wou I would hike to call the b Morumer.-- I would not ask you witheut telling youl everything." ih wre self- t pan you | Mr. Broneon listened to out any of the jealous pain i ish and narrow mind mit perhaps have | felt.

Something like a year after the time We last lovked in upon Betse ry gle might have been seen, one pleasant morning in June, in per old place there, with her husbaud, the little Levi and his two sisters, Nathan, the tiusty oldest son, having charge of the baby in tie roomy famiiy carriage without. There was quite a time shaking hands with her gl school mates, after services, all glad to recoguise her now, and a great crowding round the carriage by the young mothers to get a sight of the baby. Among them were Sarah Brewer, tre cousin of Mortimer Bliss, now the wife of a wealthy farmer hving a short distance from the town, und Marie Bluir, who had been for many years the wife of Will Hopkins, Esq, a lawyer and politician, in a small way, living atthe Center. The two school- males were intimate yef, and walked tiomeward together. «+ Wout you comg in," asked Mrs. Hop- Kmsy pausing as she reac od her own door, "and wait until the chiidien come along fiom: Sabbath echool 27 Mis, sented, and on entering the house they were Wilson as- soan joiued by the master.

His shouts of dic- tress at once brought several men to his assistance, and among them, fortunately, was a well-known showman named Town - send, a man cf great muscular strength ata what was of nuch more importance, one who had been familiar with the habits of theso repulsive monsters all his life, having owned soma of the largest cues ever brought to this country. The situation gf tho keeper was now perilous ia the extreme.
