She scolded me, and said I was dull and tiretrorue--tioat I did not sympathize with her; but she left me with the alum bright smile upon her face, ~themmme guy words upon her lips. Lute that afternoon a note was placed in my hands; it was from; Mr. Uarew, saying that Blanche had gone to Richmond and that he wanted to speak with nut. I knew then that my rears were realized, and I felt that he wanted me to break the news of Al.. !an Charlton a! proposal to his daugh- ter, and to urge its acceptance upon her. I foresaw how this girl's heart would be torn, between love for Hugh Mostyn and the desire to see her father happy attain. I resolved that I would not be the one to speak to her. J would not dash front the sweet lips the cup of hap- niness that had so lately hrinuned over; mine should not be the hand to snatch the hope from that young lite.

"From Captain Mostyn, I BUD- pose'.'" I said, innocently, " am glad Blanche win never cure for anyone else." . . “lad not the heart to refuse her. She gave herself up to the charm ot the love that filled her heart, of the sunshine that fell around her. Many a long day passed, many a. sun rose and set before she spent a happy hour again. "But there Is no need to write," Elle went on. “I shall want nothing more than the thought that I am to see him so soon." "Do not look so grave," she said; “sumo at me. and let us talk about him. Let me be quite happy tor at but one hour this beautiful morn; mg." She could not write to him in reply, she said; he wppld have left India before her letter could reach him. That scene fastened itself upon my minu--ute sunshine, the flowere,the beauty or the summer morning,the tair young face that iooked Into mine. “Is ho not good and true?" one asked, when I had wad the letter.
