"Hieh, isn't it?" said Jennie, and then jxintcd to the chubby little tiirure whose baok happened to be turned. I shook my head and laughed. " You'll see," coutinucd the incorrigible. "See what?" inquired Miss Kint, quite unaware of our pantomime. "That particles which are chemically attracted will unite. Of course an alkali and an acid Don't you think this sleeve is a little too lon-x, Miss Kent?" 44 Not after the seam is off. Hut what were you saying about alkalir and acids, Mrs. Carlisle? The other day at i Professor boynton's 1 saw some won derful experiments." 44 lid they succeed?" inquired Jen nie, demurely ISeautifullv." 44 So will mine. I never botched a job in my life." 44 1 don't think I quite understand you," said Miss Kent, perplexed. 44 No? I always prow scientific when talking about marriage, y dear." 4,r-tLer!" was ail the little woman said, but the tone wa.s much better natured than I expected. The rest w k Corals Ms.rk arrive-!, and 1 liked hi.n at once. An unhappy marriage would hae been the lost thin thought of in connection with the gentleman. He had accepted the situation like a man, Jennie told me, and for fifteen years carried a load of misery that few could have endured. Ieath came to his relief at last, and now the poor fellow honestly believed himself an alien from domestic happiness. Singular as it may appear, Cou-dn Mark was the embodiment of good I health, and good nature ; 60, perhaps, i though he didn't look it, and as rotund ! and fresh in Lis way as the little dressI maker waS in hers. As I looked at him, I I defied anv body to see one and not be 1 immediately reminded of the other. True, he had more of the polish which ; comes from travel and adaptation to! different claaes and individuals, but he was n-ji a whit more intelligent oy nature than was the oright little woman whom Jennie had determined he should marry. j 44 1 was surprised you should think ; necessary to caution rue a!jout rv 'Cousin Mark," coo. d the plotter, as fche stood by his side looking out of the ! window. 44 The idea of r.iy l-ing so I ridiculous !' an-1 in the .same breath, 'with a wink at nie, 44 Come, let us go to my sitt ng-roor.i.

Why?" 44 She seemed uncommonly well posted, for a woman." Cr.der other circumstances Mrs. Carlisle would have resented this, but now she only queried, 44 Do you think so?" at ! that ended it. Two or three invitations to tho sewing-room were quite sufficient to make Cousin Mark perfectly at home there; and after a week he became as familiar as this : 44 If you are not too busy, I should like to read you this article;" and this is what Mis Kent would say: 44 Oh, I am never too busy to be read to. Sit down by the window in this comfortably chair and let's hear it." After a couple of weeks, when the gentleman came in, hoarse with a sudden cold, Miss Kent bustled about, her voice full of sympathy, and brewed him a doe which he declared he should never

John wanted to come awfully, but I knew he'd make a noise and spoil every thitir, so I wouldn't let him." The wily schemer had taken the precaution to lock the closet door from the outside, so there was no fear of detection. On a hih bench, as still as two mice, we awaited results. Cousin Mark (as if arousing from a protracted reverie) : 44 Would you like to have me read?" MNsKeHt: 44 Oh, I'm not particular."

This would be Peter Partlelt Lee, who wanted a night's lodging. permission to enter iieing granted, Peter would soon be comfortably seated beside the blazing hearth, and his social powers would soon disarm all suspicion. The exchanges would be unfolded, and ere an hour the entire household would be intently interested in the doings in the freat" world around them, as eloquently read by Peter Ibtrtlett. The delight which he at first inspired by his pleasing powers of description ascended into awe at the deep aud profound know edge ho displayed on subjects of in 1 v , .

Ivpially at home is Peter l'.artlett in the large city, :.n 1 his first visit is genet ally to that temple of information and u-eful knowledge tin4 printing ollice. No Matter what put el the I'nioii it may be in, tho moment he arrives a general yell of recognition goes up as he enters the composing room, and a volley of inquiries and exclamations ratth' around the alleys: 44 Ibdlo, Pete! how's the walking?" 44 Pete, did you come in on a I'ullniau?" 44 Peter ll u tlett, ain't you so tired of sitling down, yer feet aci.e!" 44(. shoot the nose!"

The next thing P. I', does, however, is to proceed to bushiest, and the whole office is laid nider contribution, which is duly presented to him as 44 a testimonial of respect." Peter immediately disappears, and in 20 minutes has persuaded the nearest saloon-keeper that he is tho new railroad superintendent ju-t appointed. When this first installment of lucre is gone, he tackles the editorial room, and rarely fails to make a raise. And when this and all other sources of financial replenishment ar exhausted, Peter Hartlett gets another bundle of exchanges arid again starts out on his endless journey a Typographical Wandering Jew!

A Plain YrddlDfr.

A 44 frontier missionary," writing to the Christian I wion, teJIs of a curioiu wedding experience. A man of (Quaker doaceiit, wlio, though ho had left the 4 meeting, retained much of that sect's plainness and blnntness, resolved to get married, lie kept a dairy-farm and a public K-e-house it short distance from town. One day ho asked tho missionary to eall tit the farm on a Sunday afternoon. Tho missionary thus tells the story : So the next Sabbath, about 6 o'clock, I turned up tho lane that led to his j house, tied ny horse to the fence, and 'went to tit; door. 1 was admitted lv the housekeeper and stated. The housework was going on just as usual just us in any farm-house ami I was received just us any stranger would be. There wero evidently no unusual preparations going on. I asked for my friend. 44 lie was out ia the yard milking. Should they call h;ni:'" 1 replied, 44 1 could wait, but 1 wanted to see him.'1 lu a few minutes he came in. lie was in his shirt-sleeves and overalls, and was carrying a brimming pail of milk. Uu set the milk in the pantry, and the 44 women folks" proceeded to strain it. He greeted me very heartily, 44 was sorry to detain nie, Init would soon be ready." He then introduced ine to a bright- ,. . . looking young woman whom i i . . . ticed before, snd oresented her as tin expectant bride. With that t hey , too, disappeared in dilferent directions, ami I was alone again.

The house was ipiiet during the service, but there was no gathering of the family in the room, and the interruption to 'he regular course of affairs was very brief indeed. I caught the business-like spirit id the occasion, and excuse 1 myself and departed. As I mounted my horse and turned down th" lane, I saw the new-m:-. '.;' bridegroom emerge from the house, reclad in the overalls before mentioned, and carrying the aforesaid milk-pail, and going out towards the ham to finish 44 that milking." The. coolest part of the proceedings is yet to be mentioned. Atter the ecrmony, the bridegroom came up, and, ia a frank, business-like way spoke of the fee.
