I trust, however, that I shall be able to entertain you." "That I do net question," ssid the visitor, with a slow attempt at gallantry. "I am inclined to thick he will before he goes," thought Matilda. , Looking at her fingers she remarked, composedly, as if she, for the first time, observed the stain of Ink: "I hope you will excuse the appearance of my fingers, but I have been writing all the morning and I couldu t remove all traces of the ink.", "You were writing letters, I presume,

"A what, ma'am!" "A manuscript a sheet of paper with writing on it.

That night Matilda kept awake for some time, contoctlpg plan by which she might offend the pre udicts of the expected visitor, and throw the burdn of a refusal upon him. For she well knew that If he once proposed her uncle would bs fceriouly aagry if she rj"c'ed him, and very posiitly would carry ont the threat to which he had given utterance. , , It was about twelve o'clock the next day that a ti' I young man, of serious aspect, ascended Mr. Parker's front steps and rang the bell. , ' lie was ushered Into the drawing room, where, afier waiting half au hour, he was joined by Matilda. The young lady was by no means looking her best. Her hair was loosely arranged, her collar awry, and there was a very perceptible tain of ink upon her flowers. "Mr. Jenkin?, I presume," she remarked. The gentleman bowed, and looked curlously at his entertainer. "And I presume I am addressing Miss Parker." Our heroine inclined her. head In the affirmative. "I hope your re spsctea uncle la well,"

"Do you really think, Miss Parker, that

there should be no distinction In point or occupation between men and women?" exclaimed the sedate Stephen, horror-Btruck. "Why should there be?" said Matilda, with spirit. "Do you doubt whether woman has an in'ellect equal to tbat of a man?" "Is there a female Shakespeare?" asked Mr Jen kin a. "Yes," aaid Matilda promptly. "Did you never read Mr3. Browning's poems?"

It seemed three hours to the unhappy Stephen, who bad not the sl ghtest apprebeneion of poe'ry of any description. He was quite delighted when the dinner bell rang, and so was Matilda in her secret bC"I am afraid," taid she, "we shall have to rest from our reading till after dinner, but by commencing immediately afterward we may git a quarter through by ta time." "flow many pages are there in the poem" the young man inquired, hesitatingly. -Only a little more than four hundred, was the encouragine reply. The dinner proved to be a not very social meal. Matilda confined brself entirely to literary eubjrota, and evaded all attempts to rhance the tooic.

"OooJ gracious!" thought me young mu. ' and this ia the young girl I was to marry. I'd as soon marry a dictionary, although she is prettv. But then she is a stroDg minded woman! I should be talked to death in leas than a month." Stephen Jenkins stopped two days, but at the end of that time, announced that he should not be able to remain longer. During that time the poor man heard more poetry thao ever before in bis life, and had conceived a deadly hatred against the whole tribe of female authoresses, particularly Mrs. Browning. . , ,, "Where ia Ma. Jenkina?" inquired Mr. Parker on his return. "Gone, uncle," said Matilda.

"Gone! When did he gor ' "He only stopped a couple of days. "Why. he was to have stopped a week. What was the matter wiih him?" "I think, uncle, he was disappointed In me," said Matilda, demurely.

"Did he leave no message ior me; "Here's a note, uncle." Mr. Tarker hastily broke open the missive, and re id aa follows: My Dear Sir In order to prevent mtsun derttUnding, I ought to nay that I don t thi'ik It will be well to adhere to th fooltnh compact which was entered into home time since in regard to toy marriage with your nlei-e.

"Why, the pippy has had the audacity to remove bia pretensions to your hand!" exclaimed the indignant uncle. "Teen, can't I be married?" inquired Matild, in comical disappointment. "Ye, you shall marry the first man that tifTVr"
