"If there is anything that I detest, it is an old maid," said Mr. Davenport, a fine-looking man of perhaps forty years of age, who was walking hastily up and down the room, evidently in no enviable frame oE mind. "I know it is illiberal. unkind, ungenerous, to ban-any class en jnasse," .he. coutinued; "butlhave the name aversion to au unmarried -woman past thirty tuat X nave to a toad or a snake."., , k -"rthink' theyare generally very di3' agreeable," returned his helpmate, in the quiet, submissive tone with which ehe had echoed hls opinions' for the last seventeen years; "and 1 am sorry, Dav enportj that jfpur cousin, Miss.Fanshaw is coming, just now; ror Julia, poor child, will'df necessity be much with her, and it will have a depressing effect on neryoutniui spirits." vaiust i oe niucu witn nerY" ex claimed that interesting member of the .Davenport latnlly, in a tone which led one to suspect that she was on the verge oLan Hysterical -nt or tears. "Good heavens!" exclaimed Mr. Dav enport; "are you all determined to drive me mad?" And, seizing bis hat, be rushed from the house. As the door closed behind him, Miss juuas sons Became alarming. "Why, Julia," exclaimed her mother, "you cannot expect me to give up my handsomest room. What if your rich Aunt Xandon tor Mrs. .Tohiunn ntinuM come, Land' their apartments taken up trim tnia musty; lusty, crusty old maid ? I do wish, your father ,bad not so many relations," sighed Mrs. Davenport. "What is the matter, mother?" ex claimed, in a breath, Frank and Wil liam, who just then rushed in. "What is the matter with Julia?'' "Hurrah ! hurrah !" cried Frank, toss ing his cap up in high glee, when in formed, of the subject .under considera tion. "What grand times we shall have tormenting her a good-for-nothing old maid!" "I hope Julia will never ba an old maid, don't you, mother?" exclaimed affectionate little Willie. "If-she is, I'll turn her out of doors," retorted Frank. "Don't cry, Julia," said Willie, steal ing his arm round fair Julia's neck; "don't cry; perhaps she'll be a very agreeable old maid.'.' , jIThisIidea, .which liad-evideritly never before struck any of the family, silenced for a moment Miss Julia's sobs. "No, no; she can't be," vociferated Master Frank, "for is she not an old maid?" The individual who occasioned all this' hubbub, tills much-calumniated, much-feared Miss Fansbaw, was a cousin and old flame of Mr. Davenport's. Yes, from eighteen, when he entered college, to twenty-four, when he left it, through long vacations and still longer terms, ay, and for years'afterward, when be bad completed tbeall-absorbingand import ant study, of law, .had Mr. Davenport worshiped -bis wild, beautiful-bewitching Cousin Kate; thought of her, dreamt of her, till one sunny afternoon iu her lather's garden an emphatic "JJo !" nad given tlie death-blow to his hopes, though not to his love. No; although in ant of spite be bad Immediately pro posed to and married bis present wife, tbe prettiest simpleton in the world. still, although be was scarcely aware of it nimseu, queen over nis aQections retgued this charming remembrance, or ratuer tins lovely ideal ; Jor it was Miss Fanshaw In her sweet spring-time, with the dew of her youth upon her, Cousin Kate at seventeen, not thirty-five; Mr. Davenport detested old maids. Mr. Davenport was horrified at the idea of his dream being broken in upon, the romance of bis life dispelled; be bad . ueyeri wished -to see bia-Cousin Kate again, and now she was coming to pay him a visit. As for Mrs. Davenport although a very insignificant char acter in her own house, she sha.ll bare a place here Mrs. Davenport had indis tinct visions of a prowling, inquisitive, uiaugreeuuie creature, oi toe most (11 miuutive helcbt. the sallowest of all possible complexions, and the feeblest of all voices; yet with this same minc ing, whining voice was she to thwart and annoy tier beyond measure. From thecbucoctlugof a pudding to the set tling oi ner nouse-Eeeping accounts, Miss Fansbaw would interfere. The afternoon was clear, bright, and warm, nothing ominous of the' unwel come guest. Julia, who bad wept her- sen sick, lay asleep on the sofa, when carnage wheels were beard, and tbe wbple family, bovs and babv included. in an instant ran to the window to mark the arrival. The steps of the carriage were lei uown, anu a oeautirul little loot was at Hrst protruded, then a tall, elegant flguredescended, in deep mourn ing, who, In the lowest, sweetest voice an xne. wona, as she entered the" room, proclaimed herself to be Miss Fanshaw.

" Poor Mrs. Davennori's fears now took an entirely different direction. How should' she entertain her elegant guest ? Two full hours till diuner"and, her lord and masters return. Simnle. timid. nervous Mrs. Davenport hurried to the morning-room alter giving some direc tions to tbe servants, and. silting down in an agony, oecranJier.xireaded task "'Yoti Eave never been in this part of tne country before. 1 believe.

L'How". do .you like our part of the country?" said Mrs. Davenport, the very ipstant ber guest bad concluded her speech; but Miss Fanshaw did not heather, for -she had, in a quiet voice, overthrown Willie's stock of wisdom by tbe query of "How many blue beans made Ave?" "Frank and Julia were in paroxysms of laughter at.his perplexity. W.HEfevtha youngest -child, -seated in her lap, was triumphantly grasping the glossy curls, on tbe beauty and gloss of which be had been for some time cov etously gazing, Mr. Davenport just then entered, and Miss Fansbaw rose hurriedly toi meet him. J. or a moment tbe gentleman, calm and composed as he had grown, struggled with unutterable emotion: ber romp :wi til the child had seut the bright, rich bloom to her cheeks, her wild eyes (janced. with glee, her face absolutely glowed with animation years, time, space were annihilated; it was tbe Cousin Kate of bis youth; the object ot a world of devotion, idolatry, dreams, who stood before blm. It was but (or a moment, however;, he.met her just as he should have done, courteously, although most gravely and kindly. As for tbe lady, as she had never par ticipated iu tbe feeling which excited it, she had not tlie. slightest suspicion of his emotion; indeed, it is doubtful whether she remembered that Mr. Dav enport bad been her lover he was her Cousin Alfred, her mother's sister's child to whom could she come if not to, him? Tbe evening passed on wings never was dreaded guest more courteously treated. She had taken them by storm barricades fell, coolness and reserve' vanisned. biie was pronounced,, in confidential family conclave, to be "ir resistible." "You must not think of leaving us. Kate," said Mrs. Davenport, some two months after that iady'a first appear ance. "No, indeed, not this winter," con tinued Miss Julia, with a most entreat ing face; "we never can live without you, Iear cousin." ' W-bat will become of our dauces and charades in the evening?" broke in tumultuously, Master Frank. "Who will sing us songs and tell us funny stories? .0, Cousin .Kate,' .you are the darllngest old maid I ever saw " "J; rank I" exclaimed his mother and sister,-in an agony; but Miss Fanshaw laughed. ' "You will always iive with us. won1 you ?" cried little. WHlIe, giviug her at tne same time a nearly kiss. A peculiar expression passed over the lady's face, aud she did not answer. "There are Mr. Donaldson and Mr. Williams coming to see you. Cousin Kate!" exclaimed Julia, from ber place ne'ar the window; "tbey.'are reallv verv devoted in their attentions,- If you'll promise not to tell, I'll tei you some thing, dear cousin." Miss .fansbaw gave tbe required promise, and J una continued: "When you hrst came thev told Mrs. Flint, who lives with them, that thev supposed, as Mr. Davenport bad been exceedingly Kind and hospitable to them, they must call and see his old maiden cousin. You remember, dear cousin, they came and found you so charming that they stayed till twelv o'clock, and the next morning appeared again to matte a lengthy apoloirv." itttss fanshaw laughed, and was ex ceedingly polite both to Mr. Donaldson and Air. Williams, who just tbeu en tered. Indeed, so constant bad been the visits of these two gentlemen, that Mrs. Jjavenport, good, simple soul began to ima-riue that Miss Julia, al though she was not yet broucht out. bad achieved a conquest. "Ivate." sh argued, "is very agreeable, but they are perfect boys to her." So they were, but boys do occasionally verv foolish things; for Miss Fanshaw left the parlor one morning, after a lonjr conference with Mr. Donaldson, looking vexed and indignant beyond measure. When Mr. Davenport came home that uay, ue met his cousin with a most nro voking glance .of intelligence, and ac costed ber- with sundry very agreeable queries as to the purport of Mr. Don aldson's visit; light flashed through'bis H , .
