Io was dark, short and stout--in fact, some people called him fat--a sure way of enraging her. His redeeming points were-- a pair of keen black eyes, a certain manly, sensible way ho had with him and a reliable look. She was small and slender, looking as if the wind might blow her away some fine March morning, with *'two eyes so soft and brown,' and waving, naturally--not crimped--chestnut hair, falling in little rings and spray around 4 white face, delicate, but full of life and spirit. Every body in Knipsic Farms said it was perfectly, absurd. At the last sowing society there was but one opinion. It was an unusually full meeting, tho engagement hav-- ing but just come out.

Quilting is the most social work imaginable it so brings every one together, and over 'herring-bone' and 'shell' stitch the coldest hearts thaw out.

What can he fancy in that little, palefaced school-ma'am is more than I can see. Her high- flown village airs, T suppose: A pretty farmer's wife she'll make!" «Well that's jest what I was a- sayin' to Miss Stowell before you cum in,' said Aunt Polly. 'Says, Miss Stowell, yon mark my words, Lance Lambett'll rue theday ho ever let his eyes run away with his good sense. Lance is a fore-hand- ed, well to-do young man he ought to have a real smart, go ahead wife --somo good, stout, capable girl, Equal consternation prevailed in Knipsic village, where it was first rumored that Laura Bridges was deliberately determined to marry a farmer. No engagement had creat: ed such a commotion since the next to the last new minister had married Sue Syllabub. Every body dressed up and called on every one else to talk it over. : 'Is the child crazy ? asked Mrs. General Sampson of Mrs. Judge Jewett, in her most impressive manner. 'To throw herself away on a farmer! It is true the Bridges are not wealthy but they are one of our oldest families ; and Laura, with her connections, her fine. education, | her agreeable, lady-like manners and pretty face, might have marri ed into the very first oircles.-- George Ledell was extremely atten- tive to her last year, before she went off teaching that miserable district school, and became infatuat- ed with this coarse farmer'--pro~ nounced ca-os fahmah. Then Mrs. Judge Jowett took up the refrain; She would have no society whatever. She will be obliged to work like a galley slave -- farmers' wives always do. Think of Laura making butter and cheese, apple-sauce, soft soap, sausages, mopping, eating with hired men, living on salt pork! and Mrs. Jewett shuddered at the dreadful picture imagination thus presented of a farmer's life. emergency. Ol¢ Debbie, Mrs. Bridges' washerwoman, used to say, 'Laury's all grit. Folks say it don't take but a small skin to hold a deal of spunk, and that's true of Laury, anyhow. She possessed a latent resolution, a power of endur- ance hardly to be expected from her frail, delicate appearance. 'This dosen't look like a very suit- able place for you, Laura,' said Lance, as he swung her lightly down to terra firma in his strong bands. 'An original conundrum strikes me, Lance. Why are you and I unlike Alexander tho Great? Be- cause ho sighed for other worlds to conquer, and we don't need it. This will furnish scope for all our ener. gies at present.

Probably this was the best parlor, and the sun was never permitted to fairly shine into it more than once a year. New paper, paint, and whitewash, and plenty of alr and sun for a while, will remedy it, I suspect, But that reminds me. Do you suppose Knipsic would be able to bear it, if we should havea furnace ? It makes a house so much pleasanter and more usable,' 'Tt certainly is a great immovation. No one in Knipsic Farms has one.
