CHAPTER III.
Il was Sunday morning) &. according to the
time-honored rustom.lhe bride ought to make
her appearance at church in all her wedding
finery. The young Indie at Beech-house
had duly prepared I leru.elvei and their toilets
for the important occasion,
"Now," said J nie to Curry, ns they stood
arranging their hair be'ore the cheval-glasses
In tllfir dressing-room, while a coin or tab la
fire burned It, th great, and to '.t off the ,
chill of the fOBgy inornlMg now we shall
see our 'young ntamma like a briue ut latt,
Hark! I Ik re i. the breakfa.t-bell. How do I

"V, ry w M, iiilerd. I don't think we
shall make by any means a despicable appeal
net. U.i N't you u iltl ue hud a maid I"
' Perhaps papu will let u hive "U ilow.
Come, let us go to break last." i
Down to breaktaat ihey all went. In their!
beautiful ambat satins. Mr. and Mrs 80 1- '
ler ..pert. 1 y lollowed; and the surprise ul
the three ;ler may be Imagined when the
plain blaik satin again met their eyes.
"Then you are not going 10 appear at ujitirch
this morning, papa," said Carry, as Mr. Bel-L-rs
comn euced rutting the cold boiled ham j
into -Vauxii alls." I
"Why do you think so, my dear!" inquired
he unconsciously, proceeding ly-put a delic te
siice tutu each of t lie I r plates.
'Ihcau( because'
Because I am not in lining attire!" in-'
quired ihe bride, smiling archly.
-Y?." answered Caroline, smiling also, &
at the same lime blushing a little.
-Your lath.-r ui.d I are certainty going to
church, but we do not see why we should
make a luss about it. We go just a we
should on any other Sunday. The house of
God is not a showroom." 1
"Then you do n't mean to sit for company I" 1
' No, my love," replied Mr. Sellers; ".Uirlhai
and I have agreed to dispense with all such
luoliku an I u-eless ceremonies. Those of
our Ir end who know that we have returned,
and wish to keep up our acquaintance, will
call just us they Would at tiny other t:ine.
We shall always be happy to see them."
Caroline uud Jane were much disappoint
ed by this decision. They hud anticipated

rigidly kept up in Bi llklelgh) the chocolate

Not so with Isabella. Younger by some
years than her sisters, and more simple-minded,
she Wus already disposed to look up t
the superior character of her new relation,
und appreciate her intentions. Besides, she
couid not help admiring the perfect harmony

r "Yes. dear 1-ubelU, to be anre," answerc
the bride. 'Will you go with me into w
1 dreeeiiig-room! It I 'here that I usually re
tire on a Sunday morning. Have you eve
1 thought much aboot thie precept," Inquire
Mr. Sellers, after a pause, dm Ing which thry
had both been occupied in reading '(Jive to j
lii rp thatasketh thee.niid from him .hat would
borrow of thee, turn not thou uway!' "
"Not much, I conress," Isabella replied
"One reads these things so habitually, that
they fail to impress us w ith any definite no
tions." "For which reason." returned Mrs. Sellers
"I am very sparing in my reading of this
kind. A lew verses at a time are .11 t hut I
peruse. Sometimes I put the hook nway for,
a short spate, and, when 1 re-open it, these
beautilui precepts come upon me with the
power und force of new ideas. Did you ever
try to take then, literally, und u'-t upon them!"
"No," aaid Isabella; "I was never taught
to do so. Indeed. I wits always told that many
of them were impossible to be taken literal
ly. Hush! there is the church bell. What
do you mean to put on, mamma, mine?"
"You little fOoliah girl, cull me Martha at
once. Why, how much older urn I than yon!" .
I am just eighteen, and you are three-nd
twenty."
"Pray, who told you thai!"
"Oh! a little bird, I assure you. Mrs.;1
Martha Sellers.nirl. a wedding a yours does;
not Bull beg your pardon, I am very
impertinent."
No, love, only innocent nnd candid."
And Martini kissed Isabella on her luir, open j
forehead.
"Do let ir.e help you to dress," said the;
latter. "I can do that, and have plenty oil
lime to dress mysel: after. Where i- your!
bonnet! Where do you put all your things!"!
'Hire; see, I shill put on this lhawl." j
"Have you u shuw 1-piu !"
"No." "
"How do you lusten your lhawl, then?''
"Just with a common pin; it doe well c

bella, blushing tlightly.
"Certainly, you have my full leave."
"Well, then, I must say I neier k..ew R 1

"It require none: the guard is in my heart.''
'Then you despise all ornament !"
"No, dear Isabella, it i. not that. I am
