When Pansie's friend, Jessie heard, of the Accident^ she lost no time in going to her, ttnd When Dr. Cole cull ed in the evening/ she was still there. Pansie had entirely recovered, and there was only the small piece of plaster on her forehead to tell that anything unusual had occurred. Dr. Cole made himself very agree able during his short visit. After he left, Robert Morton came, fully de' termined to speak on the all impor tant subject, but there was .Jessie with her incessant chatter. She re lated to him, the event of the morn ing, and dwelt particularly on the Doctor's visit that cVeiling. 'He is coming for a bouquet,1 she said, 'but I think he only wants a single llower, and that is, a little Pansie Don't you think so too Robert T she asked. 'No, I do not,'he replied. 'If lie asked for a bouquet, he certainly wants more than one flower.1 Robert was dissatisfied with his visit that evening, and did not call again for a week. Dr. Cole did not forget to come for his tlowers, when Pansie was at her morning's work in the garden; and after that, bis visits be came frequent. The summer had passed and dur ing the balmy weather in October, an excursion was proposed after autumn leaves. Robert came to invite Pansie to ride with him, but he was too late; she was already engaged to go with Dr. Cole. [ He had intended, to have had mat ters settled during that ride, and be was again disappointed. What shall 1 do? he thought, I have loved Pansie all my life, and what right has this Dr. to come be tween us? He may take this ride with her, but the next evening he de termined to know his fate. Ih? made the call, aud Pansie could not 'ail to notice his embarrassment. .She had to do all the talking. 'Why are you silent RoberlV' she asked. 'You look as solemn as a graveyard.' dust as he had nerved himself to give utterance to his thoughts, Dr. Cole came in. He could not sit there and hear the Doctor converse so pleasantly with Pansie, so he took J his leave. The Misses Barnard noticed the Doctor's visit. 'What docs he mean by going there so often?' they asked Aunt Hannah. 'Pansie is a sweet gal, am. a smart one,' she replied, 'and I suppose he is pleased with her company. One I thing is sure, their acquaintance was all accidental, and now he goes there of his own free will.' After the autumn leaves had been pressed, they were to he made into a j picture, and Dr. Cole was assisting Pansie in arranging them, when Robert entered the room. 'See how beautifully the Doctor has arranged these leaves,' she said to him. 4I suppose any one else could do the same,' said Robert. 'Here arc a plenty of leaves, will you makes, picture forme?' 'No. If I should try to make one, I do not think it would please you.' Pansie found herself thinking very often of Dr. Simpson's assistant. She was pleased with his vi? its, and had learned to know his step, when he came on the porch. Robert's visits became very rare, and he would plead business engage ments, when asked the cause of his absence. Spring had clothed the trees and shrubbery with their vesture of green. The birds were singing, and the air was fragrant with the breath of flow ers, when Dr. Cole took Pansie for a ride. This was not, an unusual occur rence. They had often ridden to gether. Sometimes they would go to the fall; and the Doctor would point out the beauties of the surrounding scenery; or they would pause; on an elevation and watch the sun sink he low the horizon. His mind was not dwelling on any of these things on that particular afternoon. Neither falling water, nor flowdng river; golden sun-set, nor way-side flowers, occupied his thoughts. He was not? reticent however, oh! no, he was saving a great deal, but his words were only intended for Pansie's car, and she did not appear displeased at what ho was saying, although her face was suffused with blushes. On their return Dr. Cole sought Mrs. Gray, and asked for a flower. O.lly one he wanted?one little Pan sie. 'You do not know the value of the gift you ask.* said Mrs. Gray. 'Indeed 1 do madam,1 lie said. 'I know that her value is beyond :ill price.' 'She is my only one, and I cannot give her Up. Oh! I cannot, lose her!* 'You will not lose her, she shall remain with you, and you will gain n son, only give your consent for her to become my wife.* I.ike.nil other mothers when placed in similar circumstances, Mrs. Gray had to yield. Is it a trifle to ask n mother for her daughter? The child she has loved from the moment of her birth! She has reared her tenderly, and bus looked forward with pleas ant anticipations to the time when she will have reached womanhood, and become a companion and com fort. She is her own, loving and be loved, and the mother is happy until a suitor appears upon the scene. He asks for this treasure. There is no object ion to him, either morally or socially, and lie obtains his re quest. What matters the mother's grief? her sighs?her tears! Does the young husband over pause to think of them? Oh! no, lie is happy, and let the mother console herself, that her daughter is happy too. Aunt Hannah was not surprised, when she was told, her services would be required, when the wedding pre parat ions were made. 'I thought how it would end,' ahe said. 'Mrs. Gray didn't want Dr. Cole to come to t he house, and now he'll stay altogether. Wo can't go against Providence.' Pansie told Robert of her engage ment, all unconscious of tin- pang she was inflicting Urgent business cabled him away (so he said) and he really could not be present at the wedding. He sent her a handsome present, and wrote just such a letter as a brother would write to a fondly loved sister. The preparations were completed, and Pansie in her bridal robes look ed like a being from the upper sphere. When making his congratulations. Dr. Simpson claimed a right ton kiss. Remember Pansie,' he said, 'I am not to blame for t his. You told me not to mi ml the young Doctor to you, and I obeyed orders. Your carelessness in falling, brought him here.' 'I should have found my way here if that, accident had not occurred,' said Dr. Cole, 'I had resolved to make Paiuie's acquaintance, and I would have found an opportunity to do so.1 Robert extended bis absence as long as possiide. and when at length he returned and called on Pansie, she had no idea how much he had sutier ed. He wisely resolved to crush every vestige of that unfortunate passion, from his heart, am', how couhl4Hw*>bet ter accomplish his object, than by making a transfer of his nlfcctioiis. When he asked Jessie to share his fortunes, she did not inquire if he had ever loved another. She had been loviug him a long time, and now the desire of her heart, was gratified, Mrs. Gray was more fortunate than a great many mothers,?she still had her daughter with her; and when Pansie requires medical attcu tion, she does not object tu tue young Doctor's services. the exi>.

Don't, for patience sake, don't conclude that wadding your En Held with a few Latin phrases lias wrought such a wonderful im provement in her'crack' that every other gun 'sounds dead.' Picket could select from his scanty library a few interlinear classic volumes and get enough of such prepared and ready-made Latin to fill his Win chester to the muv.zh?but he likes to ?peak in a familiar tongue, so that he who runs may read and con prebend. 'Yidette' it appears from his own evidence, was in his own place and intended to stay there, hut he must have strayed .'i little out of it ami caught a random shaft or he would not now. with such knightly gallantry have assumed the otfeiisive. Picket. Hob lMaine and others were having a little skirmish of their own w hen he steps in and takes the whole thing upon himself. This remind:; nie of an incident id' Illy childhood, of which, be, 'Yidette' has heard. One pleasant day Picket and one of his younger brothers were amusing themselves striking with hammers upon a plough mould, imitating in our youthful fancy, tin sound made by our father's blacksmith and his as sistant. when at labor at the anvil Another hrother was sitting near us, who had no hammer, but w ho was determined to have a hand in the play, and so steps up and places his finger under the descending hammer to represent the iron. The conse quences were a crushed and bleeding linger, and a painful reminder not to do so again, ft is needless to say that.the strikers were not hurt in the least. This is a true incident. 'Yi dette' may perceive themoral. If he would like lo see that disfigured linger, Picket can show it to him even unto this day upon that brother er's hand. Whether or not he has profited by that painful lesson so forcibly impressed, I leave him to say. Ih certainly owjhl not to be ollieiotis. 'Yidette' certainly is?and so let him take this little anecdote and study well I he moral intended, if not very i'In rely brought out. It can do him no possible barm. It may do good. It is hoped that the sound of thai hist 'telling shot' has not passed en li rely from the memory of the public, as I now propose noticing some of the feature-* w hich characterize it as ?till! inj.' "In the first place. Picket had no right to choose a place.' Why not ? When a line of pickets is established, a humane ollicer will instruct his soldiers to take advantage of all natural cover and w hen none tillers to construct artificial cover. His first care is the preservation of life, as far as the exiguenccs of I he service will permit. He does not place a soldier liken post, in u parti cular spot, or even circumscribe his limits to a few feet or even yards. Measurably then, ho lias the right of choice ot'jtloce?not ofpositiou-?a tut that choice L*ickol saw lit to exorcise in that measure.

They generally inttii/inc that the safest?if not the milt/ safe place is in the nur? and .some aredraWil In that direct ion by so strong an impulse that they actually go there to lind il whether they have a choice oruot. 'Vidette' did not do this of course, but it bus occurred in a multitude of instances and may again. Just here his pro verb reminds nie of another which I will give? "lie llltit lights and runs away Will live i<> light another ?lay.'' If ?Vitlette' discl;tii:is the origi nality of the fotilough idea, he cer tainly must not deny Ihe paternity id" the CHirciuhhuj one. His military notions seem extreme in whatever I direction they are exercised.

I did not say I wtis 'sapping and min ing.' Your idea isthat I am buried alive. Is the wish on 'Vidotlo's' part, in thi-< instance, father tri the thought? For conscience sake no!

Von change places often. You are a man of nunty posl-'imi*. Is it so that \ bleues are allowed more latitude than pick els? I am recruit enough to enquire. Is 'Vitlette1 veteran enough to aus wer?

There are many other assailable points in *V hielte1 a.'big shot' w hich Picket w ill allow to pass unnoticed. As he is not Abigail Leal heist rop's champion, he w ill leave him to take care of himself. In conclusion, however, Pickel will make one more Vast of the net,1 as he is challenged to do so, and try to lind oiil wlinl imiiiiier of man'Vi' dettc1 is. Notwithstanding Iiis deni al of i(.
