Send Miss Thorpe to we if you have left it on your dresing-taM" Miss Thorpe didn't wait to be sent, but ran awar at once to bok for the missing trinlet. It was a lovely ring, and many a time Lttle Ilattie had looked on it with almost covetou glances, lor girg for such a ring to wear on hr own pr tty finger. She returned from her qust in a few minutes, looking disappointed, and saying she couldn't find it .vnv hrre.

Ilattie, and look on the window-Mil; it's jut jvsible I might have laid it there." Ilattie went, and w:n gone along time; but she came back looking more disappointed than Infore. She had looked on the dresing-table, on the bureau, behind the bureau on the tl oor, on the window-sill -everywhere; but not veti e .xthe tur.mois nnir couli I she tinJ. "How provoking! Was the window ojH n, did vou notice?" 44 Yes, MUs Helen, the window was opn." 44 Then it may have fallen out. Come with me, Edward, and we will look;" and the pair went out together, while Hattie and the Kys resumed their employment. Mr. Montague and Mis Iangley sauntered round the house, and looked in the grass under her window, but without success; and then they plucked roses, and playfully pelted each oilier with them, and vtry om forgot all about w hat they came out for, and proceeded to t'.irt and make love in a noncommittal but delightful style, after the most approved fashion made and provided in such cases. The new moon was glittering like a silver sickle in the sky before they thought of returning to the house; and they were brought back to the contemplation of such an i lea bv Helen remarking that the dew was falling, and I she dare not remain out anv longer. 44 And I haven't found ray ring! They call turjuuis a lucky stone : I'm sure I've hai the wrong kind of luck with that one. Who could have taken it? I knorc I left it on the dressing-table. Sjine one has stolen it." 44 Oh, nonsense, Nell; and never mind, anyw ay. I'll get you another, and a prettier one, without pearls on it, and then vou won't have to remove it all the time." Once or twice that evening; and again the next day, MLs Langley spoke of her mi ing ring; the servants were iit--ri '.; d ; Uialulua Ha coin id.i.'jed to; Artie and Luis were ordered to divulge it hitling-place, if, in the spirit of practical joking which those young gentlemen often indulged in, thev had seen ted it; but :'.i"t.or., cuniof aint. threats, we-re ail in vain; the turiinuis wa gone as much as if .!cica had ex- ! changed it fcr a .-econd monkey. ."oimthincr over a week had passed ' away, and Edwar.l Mor.tague, in rder J to redeem hL prumi-e to hi cou-m, had run up to town, and was returning in the late evening, carrying in hi brea-t pocket a small velvet cae, in-ide of which r toei! a loveiv tur'nioi-. rir.g.

Edward nearly fell, and did, in fact, stuiiible, so that he caught the crouching bundle of black, and as he steadied himself he also picked it up and set it on its feet. And then, with the moonlight shining on its little flushed, tear wet face, and its luxuriant brown hair xunant brown hair j it its shoulder, it I little Ilattie Thorpe.

44Miss Thorpe! Y hy, I m so sorry! ( l-een, and was. still, to a certain extent; Is any thing fhe matter''" Edward as"k- she made no effort to keep him, there--e 1, gently, fearing some misfortune to i fore, feeling sure that he would soon rethe girl, r that she had lost some rela- turn of his own accord, and she was

tive ; for he was not aware that the lit tle governess was fatherless and motherless, and without a blood-relation in the wide world. Hittie'stears nnd sobs redoubled ; she placed her two hands l-efore her face, and sank down on a seat in an attitude of shame and despair. Edward was the ter.dTet-hearted of mortal, ana leu inmmeiy grievei at such a spectacle of grief. He sat down beside her, and drew the little Lands away from her face. 44 Do tell me what i the trouble," he said, kindly. 44 Oh, Mr. Edward," sobbed the t"or child, 44 how can I say it? Miss Helen thinks I have stolen her turquois ring." 44 Impossible!" exclaimed Edward, hocked. 44 Oh, yes, sir. Thank yon, sir. It is impossible, but she thinks so." 44 Helen can't think r.r.y thing so crcr 1. I'm sure you mu-t be mistaken." 44 I'm not mistaken, sir. She aid so, plain, two or three times that I stole her ring because you gave it to her, Mr. Edward, and that I would like to steal you. too." Edward laughed, but a warm blush stole over his cheek. The silence lccame a tri'le awkward, and to brak it he said, 44 That's worse nonsenc than the otlo r. You wouldn't steal me. either. would you?" " i wuuein i sieai any iiimg, .Mr. J.Ow ard, of eoure; and besides " I'm not worth stealing," Edward interrupted. . 44 You are worth anything," cried little Hattie, with unnecessary fervor.

" H it et ill -u wnuldu't tlul me?" ' said Edward, laugliing. "I couldn't, vou knw;" and the

! large lntuK-ent eyes were raiel appeal- . 1 . . injlv 44 I'm not o jure of that," thought Edward, uncnsciouslv pre.-sing the soft little hands he still held between his own. He lent over her in a gentle, protecting way, and w liispered, 44 Vou air a ilear little thing, and I'm sure you could do nothing in the world but w hat is giMKl und sweet like yourself." And then, w hat with the moonlight, which made the girl more childlike than ever, and the wet euhodies and pretty niering mouth that trembled like a baby's, and the two faces beinf so cloe together, Edward kissed little Hattie, and bade her not cry any more, and he would see her put right in every way. Hattie wasn't angry. He was jtM like a nice big li other; but she thrilled and trembled under his kiss, and she dreamed all night of a fair young prince with a beautiful turcjuois ring, and he could lind no linger that fitted it till he tried it on hers jut like Cinderella and the httle glass slipper. Edward was as good as his word, and spoke to Helen verv seriously about the accusation she h.tI made against Mis Thorite; but that didn't mend matters, for Helen leally believed that Hattie had stolen the ring, ami ws indignant w ith her cousin for asserting the contrary. A lover's quamd was the result ; and Edward kept the new ring in his poeket, and delayed the important jue'.tioii he had intended to put when presenting it. Miss Eangley had a scene with mamma, and insisted that the little chit of a srovemess. with her make-believe childlike w ays, and her deceit and hypocrisy, should be turned out of d'ors; but mamma chose to take time to think about that she knew she had a treasure, and she wasn't going to throw it away for the sake of a mere suspicion, possibly unfounded. Hesides, she had conscientious scruples about discharging Miss Thorpe without a character, and perhaps ruining her prospects in life. Mrs. Langley maintained this v irtuou resolution for several davs; but jue rjhkz-iou.i What would u have? .-. g ,tic t u ll ne colix. jciuems scrupies ol a good mother to stand in the way of her daughter's advancement? "Mrs. Langley very soon saw that Helen was right, and that Edward was quite too much interested in the liT.Ie governessand Hattie receivt d her discharge on the following dav, U ing permitted to finish her week, t- allow her the opportunity of finding another nof to shelter her p'or homeless head I.ut we all know the fate of van. ting ambition," and even the cleverest mammas d at times o'erh ap dicrc'ioii,and siul'er in a similar way; and it happened so on this oeca-i n. If, as Mrs. was piayii g a ileep game, these lulies threw her a trump card and played it for her. Edward found the little govhaving leen gradually falling in love with the childish little creature, her present mi.-ery brought his feeling to a ci;ma. tie vmk possession i ner. bade her consider here!f his promised wife, and with many tender as-nranrvs and several kiss,. on the trembling lip, vowed she should never know care or tr ubi. again. Then he put the new turquoi ring on her finger, and as the diamond initial was II. little Hattie did not know it had been first intended to signify Helen. Edward wa no hypocrite, but he was angry with his aunt and cousin, and so he went away to town and did not confide to th e ladies the news of his engagement ; and Ilattie had little inducement f r confidence on her part, Mrs. Eangley U lieved Edward to be really attached to Helen, and so he had ment f r ceuifidence on her quite as well pleased to have him away from the house during Hattie's last days there, for she felt convinced his only danger from that quarter was in constant assM iation. Ilattie was a dangerous girl to have in the same hone with a young man of Edward's disposition she Was such a Sweet, MettV-looking. baby-like thing, and he w as so good md kind and generous. As for the little governess, her behavior was perfect. and Mr. Eanglev's heart smote her often, and she determined to do her best f rMis ThorjH', w ho took h-r dismissal so well, and went about her duties sadly and quietly, with such swetnes, nnd gentleness toward her young pupil. 44 Whatever I can do.

The color on Mrs. Enngley's cheek deepened to an angry red ; she bade her little govemes-s 44 (iood-niorr.ing" stillly enough, feeling justly aggrieved; anil so soon as they weru alone she remarked to Miss Iingley that such were a lady' thanks for trying to be kind to 4,tnat sort ed person."

At the New York terminus she was met by Mr. Edward Montague, and the two got into a close carriage, were speedily driven to the house of a clerical friend, and in ten minutes more were pronounced man and w ife.

Whv, (Jrip, the crow, stole it, and we found it in a nest of his, with lots of other things. Ain't you glad to get it?" Miss Helen dropped the ring at her feet, and stamped viciously on it.

The gentleman mentioned is actively engaged in business, and even when at home his attention is so occupied w it h thoughts of his .lil.Ol S lL.lt 1C Is fit'quently absentmindid and forgetful. The other .morning his wife did what wivrs should never do when they can avoid it; she burdened him with a commission when he started down town after breakf.it, telling him to go to a certain ladit s' furnishing st,,r and there obtain s me of a particular Lind of trimming she described, adding, 5r.' i-d'-nt.illy, that she w anted to ue ;t up-ti 'lingerie." The obedient husband ree eiied the eomu.iion, made a men! il note, and started :T, red ing that he would make the purchase immediately upon getting down town, b-t during the day l.e might f Tg- t all about it. In the street-car he i:.et a frit nd and eug'agetl in an aniuiat tl debate upon I'm !- knap's case. When finally lie steppt l out of the e ar he had forgotten all of hi wife's instructions, sn,. that the word 4 lingerie" n curre.l t him. He hadn't any more idea of what 4 4 lingerie'' was than hi wife miht have of 44 seller the month," but bedashed into the furnishing st.. re, thinking it would be all right. 4 4 I'll get her some lingerie and get enough yards so she'll be satiIieti, any how," he thought. In the store a dignified l.idy advanced to wait upon him. 44 1 want some of your best lingerie," he said. 44 Ye, sir. What shall I -how yon?" 44 Some lingerie. I want some liugerie." The your.g lady lduhed ami looked indignant. 4Tut what particular article do you wish," she demanded with some asperity. The man began to get indignant, too. He thought the "oning ladv was trilling with him. He assumed his best business air, a he remarked brusquely: "There i no occasion, mis-, f,,r any misunderstanding or delay. Iie ine fifteen y ard f the best lingerie you have in the store. )o it up and I'll pay for it and send up a boy to ge t it. Nev er mind the cost." Then he added flatteringly and soothingly: "I like to see pre tty lingerie on a young woman. That's nice of y ours," gazing admiringly in a general w ay on the young lady's dres. " You old brutr'" The saleswoman's face was scarlet a she disappeared, and then the proprietor of the store came up from an 'tin r department. He wanted to know w i at the customer had insulted the young holy for nnd he sent a boy for a policeman who came in with a big luh in his hand ami blood in his ey e on the intant. The explanation lasted half an hour and eve n then wasn't entirely satisfactory. There i one l.idy in town now who -an't go errands with he-r husband Aluminum.
