Here'vas the awakening, I hid Iny head under the bedclot ies while I'praytU softly; then not (luring to lie alone, for my aunt hailTlef: my side, and feeling'it would be better to die together, I, too,found my way to the floor. With the only wea- [K>n slie could find, a pair of curling irons, my . liite bed-feIlo;v istood shaking behind the door.-: -Very gently it opened, and a lieid made its'appearance. Tighter and tight er gew my wins around niy com panions waist; but when our house breaker stood before tis, e\iery feel ing gi'tVB^pIace to astonishment. Instead bf the hideous -face I had ex|>ected to meet, there bariie to view the handsome face of a mere stripling. My aunt's,fears seemed also to have vanished, for, stepping boldly up to him, she c night hold of hjm, saying : " Ah, I have you now, my pretty fellow; at the 'same'time ciying for John. The Captive struggled to free himself, but in vain, fo- Aunt Mary only held biru the closer, while she screamed louder for John. Very soon he made his a[>- .peai-ance on the spot, where ]he gazed in amazement on thejpicture before him ; but as bis mistress kejit sayiiig, " Tie Jiim, John, tie him 1" lie went for, the first thing handy, which happened "to;-bo my aunt's long worsted garters.] They being strong, answered eve y pur pose, and soon our-jirisonif stood meekly before us.. Ther Aunt Mary, looking sternly at him, said : "Now, Jchn, take and leek him in the room at the tojrof the house, and in the morning we will see whether peaceful citizens must, be robbed and murdered in beds." I had stood quietly by, no part, in the programme, and feeling, it must be said, mo re pity than anger for the handsome youth.; Once I met his eyes fixed earnest ly upon me, and as John led him from the room mine "was the last face he sought. After my aunt bad expended all the threats she could upon the. culprit, she fell fast asleep; but though I tried to follow her ex ample-1 did not succeed, "cr the face of the burglar Jcepfc'risng be fore me.. ! I was only . sixteen, and of rather a; romantic turn.

Tlie sounds tlmt issued from the bed told me that Aunt Mary still slept.. I took from my pbcket-.book it contents, and hurried back, utid just as I had placed lii 111 1 found the loy. I gave the money into his hands, whi.sper- j(-"ed, " Go and sin no.more." Ho';caught- my hand] and while hot tears fell upon it, he kissed it. " Go<l bless your sweet: fuce, I sljall never forget," .ho jniui mured, and then he passed down the path and .out of sight. , | With a warm feeling around my heart I I went softly l>ack to bedt and wits soon fast asleep!." It was about eight o'clock when my slumbers were again interrupt ed by !n shrill voice crying : " Josie, ho lias yone after all 1113' pains. [.

[ Poor John,' IIo swore bo1 had fastened the door, but it jwas no use talking, she believed through him she hud lost her captive, j And aunt from that day ceased to| have any confidence in the poor fellow. Our'sleep after that was unbrok en, and the years carried me safely to my twentieth birfb-day. |I was called a very pretty girl at that time, with" a handsome pUir of dark eyes, and 11 wealth of golden hair, tuat (let :ine confess it here) I pridetl myself veiyriiiich1 on. I bad several admirers aiuong the young gentlemen of the village, but| never felt any great inclination for them, and'on that account had acquired the name of being rather proud and- cold. Aunt . Mary, who had not grown younger or better natiired in the past live yeai-s, predicted my becoming an'bid,maid. As I look ed at her I felt somewhat frighten ed ; still, I could not bring myself to accept any of the illustrious names-offered me. dreams that visited mo nightly. Several of the girls, .calling on me had-spoken of the .handsome gen tleman stopping -at . the " Lioii|"/ and sighed to think" ho was beyond I their reach. ';j How I hated my life at that : pe riod, with its same dieary. routine. Tho sound of my aunt's voice as hIio; called rue at six o'clock in tiie morning. "Josephine, Josephine!" she would scr&uii, "going to sleep all day V- Then farewell to the castles I was building, anil back to the endless making of bread and cakes.

Tho day came. Don't think trie vain, reader, if I tell you I looked lovely it was some years a]jd-- and'I coujd see that I did by the' whisperings .among the girls, and by the envious glances they cast, at ine, also by sbipe-tender ones fi-oln the opposite se^c. - '.. !" We were at our first dance when, the gentlemeifcfrom tho " Lion" ar rived. I felt my heart beat quick ly as I saw atnong them Edwin King', for so my sti-anger was call ed. Truly a king in manly beanty I thought, as I looked at his tall, graceful form, arid into the strange ly, handsome face. As he saw me his eyes lit up, and coming forwartl, he begged my hand for the next dance. I assure you, gentle read'- er; I did hot'refuse. Very happily jMissed tho day, and I was sorry ! when Aunt Mary called me;" As Mh King led me to her, I thought he locked rather strangely atJier, but soon forgot all. else in the plea sure of having him by my side as wo [walked slowly home through the scented fields. My new friend did not forget me, and hardly a day went by without bringing him- to me. Even my aunt seemed pleased with his visits, and spoke in the warmest terms of his gentlemanly bearing. One 'eyening-r-ah 1 how it comes back to rue as .we were sitting-in the parlor, njilit! save'by thb soft moonlight, Edwin said, after a long "Josie I have a little ^tory :to tell you ; ,will you listen?" I whispered a faint " yea ; " so taking in his bands the hands lying idlyiUrmy lap, he went on: " Once on a time, a boy,'friend- less and alone, came one coid night to a village. He had been trying! for weeks to find- work, .but mttj nbr-ono who cared to give him a! kind'wonl. So, faint' and weary,! he came to this village I speak of.
