IK GRAY. "Com, Bob," said Jerry Coetae, ae ghe entered my office, 'put down those stupid law-books sod go skatiag with «M.' * ••Lganît.' 1 replied, Will turning ovor la. roar as of a ponderous volume. "1 bay* i punting case here which requires * im media te attention.* "Nonsense! man, let the oaee alone far this afternoon.

You ars getting to he so old and grave, ever tbeae books, that you will p»«« for a sedate man of fifty soon, instead of a young fellow ef thirty-five." Jerry had ignored five years of my age, and I glaueod in my old bachelor looking-glass—an article about a foot square, whioh was hanging ever my ba sin—to eeo if I really looked as youug as he represented me. Sly companion notieed ibe direotion ef my eyes, and he neD t on; "I'll tali yen what it is, Beb, it reju viaates a man marvelously to have a lit tle relaxation from business onej.-ÿu awbile. If you'll only,go skating.» tew times, you'll gelte bo so handsome, soon, that you'll hardly knoTf yours«! f;^n<l you'U be paid fur going, ia another way, too,for liier« is a most bewitching little ereatore who is always tbete at mis hour; shs skates splendidly, and all the feilewa , arc half-crazy about her." » "PehadV 1 replied,Contemptuously,'' «1 dou't eare a straw fouall the girls i|h{.v, Ohristendoui!' But ai*tBe'same UmlÇ unocaseiouslr. I turned back to rush my hair and put en a clean collar. »«Jerry aj»d I ««re walking along to - Tim aired, "What is the name of Htlo beauty of whom you speak'' 1 ' n » t know,' he replied; 'don't eveu now that ehe is a beauty, for l havo never seen her, rxoept when elosely vj.il od' but she has the dearest little foot and tho prettiest figure 1 have ever bo hold; and then sbo is so graoeful, and ahe glides ovor the ice with suoli an easy motion; there isn't a fellow up there oan equal her in skating." Finding that there was an tir of rays ♦erv about her, I became more interested {„her and 1 asked, "Docs she oeme elonel' 1 - »'Yes always,'was the reply. '1 have nsver seen her with any one.' We reached the pond, and Jarry poin ted to a petite figure that seamed to be Eliding rapidly over the ice, without any apparent exertirn, and remarked, "There is our little mystery. la ahe sot divine?' The bright ertmeon balmoral oame to the tope of her gsiters, andîisplayed two tiuv feet firmly stripped iu a pair of fan oy 'skates, and lookiug most eoquettishly tautalizing. There was sometiug so fas » «mating, to me, about this unknown he roise, that l stood for a few moments watching bar, quite forgetting tbe pur pose for whieb 1 bad come to the pond; but a friendly slap on the baek from J er >1 r y brought me to myself. A "Put on your skates, man, and eome •long! You will freeze to death if you otand there, and, as to watching that - - veiled mystery, it will do you ne sort of good; no one ever Tet made anything by it. for she pays uot the »lightest*attontion to any one. I did as my friend advised, and was aoou shooting rapidly over the iee. I kept as unie!] as possible in the direotion pursued by the crimson balmoral; but it went so swiftly, and turned so suddanlv and frequently, that it became a hope lass task. Haw I wished that she would faint; that the iee would break; that she would slip down; that the straps of her skates would beootne loosonod—anything that oould aflord ms an opportunity of assiiting her; but my wishes were in vain; her skates had been seonrely fas tened, and «'ae was as sure-footed as a dear. ' 1 could not offer her any assis tanei without an evident intrusion. Fi »ally she left- How lhaddengei te have bar raise her veil! But my wish was un gratified; I was unable to oateh tba slight est glimpse of her faoe. After she bad laft, skatihg suddenly iieesui«,'te me, ■"rr dull and I «»on followed bor ex ' bachelor apartment had never look ad o eloomv tome *» 't did on that tienlar e veuille, and I never before u , realmug aeoae ef the utter f eli-**® aud forlorpness of my old k* B *slor «late. I glanced around my *°tary apartment, ahd wondered hsw it J anid appear lighted up by «oui» Bright ... Than I fall to spaeulating abont tba vailed myatary an tba iaa. I weadar a* t L \ vi, ife> Jl nuances ev«r the Snety-sbapsd brad, a matchless eonfplrxton, -nr WtrteU ed how ab« looked. She wee beautiful, of eouree—that faaltleee figure, end ti ay feet, and »imitable grace, must be accompanied by a lovely face.' She was a blonds, probably, (that was my fsve lite style for a lady,) with eyes of the deepest bine, hair golden, and waving in rich and a the rose and lily were blended, enly been an artist, I would have paint ed her picture as it existed in my inunag iuation; or, had 1 been a poet, I would have written her some lines, expressing, perhaps, tbe ardor of my feelings; 1 might have managed to convey them to ber; but I was ueitber—1 was merely a plain, matter-of-fact lawyer. 1 next be k»« to wonder what her character was. She was coquotieb, evidently, her tanta liziogly thick veil proved that. Weh, 1 liked coquetry; a girl that could be had for the mere asking was not worth) hav ing. Tbe question then (arase, wlie te she? and whence did alia come? She'must be an erphau, I thought, and without relatives, else she would oot always be alone; this idea enlisted my sympathy, and I longed to show her souio kind Had I I mv eigar was out,and that my rapidiy departing, and 1 set about pre paring to place myself in the embrace of that affectionate old gentleman—Mr. Morpheus—who appears to have bis arms al ways extended for tbe reoeption ef|slee (tyfinortals. I smiled at iny own simpli eity hi being so easily oarried away by an unknown lady whose faoe I had never |«*-ou. "But I hen," I argued, "her situ ation is so lonely and unprotected!' It scented lo be a direol appeal to my bo Devolenoe, and I retired with the eritu aen balnioral and tiny foot flitling bo f° f ®. my mental vision* On tbe afternoon of the next day, Jer was eurpriaed«to see me preseHt my serf ia'bis bfiioe, wkhimy skates, ready for the eoad , __ . , 'Why, Bob!' he exclaimed,'how come* this! Yesterday I was obl'ged to expend all my oloqueuoe upon you m order to get you off, now, bore you come of your own aoqord; and—bless my stars, man, you have beon rejuvenating, havou t you? Don't know when 1 ever saw your whis kora so nicely tr.mmod, and that front look 6f yours .. really bewitching' But you don t expect that little mystery on. the pond to sse all this through her veil, do you?' '' S,u ? »'• '!>•« nonsense,' 1 replied, 'a»d come along, if v»u are eoroing. I oan't atand here waiting tor you all day. "Ob, well!'he exclaimed, guod-humor edly, 'this is the first scrape of the kind yeu ever got into, I suppose, so I shall have to pul up with your impatience; but when you bave tumbled m love and oui again half a dezer limes, a» I have, you will learn to take things more coolly—so cerne en. This way, Bob. ilnveyeu fergottan the road so saon? 1 suppose J ou 10 'k" 1 ® on your head wbeu we reaoh the pond.' The crimson balumral w-.s, of course, the first object that my eyes sought when vra arrived at the poud; there it was, and the little mystery it contained >vas float ing graeofullj over the ice. Fur some time I tried to follow her, hut this was rather unsatisfactory, and 1 resolved to s»J something to her. 1 was approach ing her rapidly, at the same time won dering hew 1 eould best acoost her, When —glorious opportunity!—she dropped her handkerSliief. 1 sprang forward, pieked it up, and presented it to her with what I considered .my best bow. put forth a little gloved hand to receive it, whispered a 'Thank you,' from under * n ® thick veil, which sent a thrill of rap ture through me, and, glided swiftly by, «h® was some distance beyond me before X oould recover myself snffioiemly to look atouud. ieongratulated myself upon be ing » l««ky fellow, for I kliew that there were many on tbe pond who would have give« eonsidorably for the opportunity of showing any attention to our little veiled nass. I started from my reverie to find that fire was She mystery. After this 1 had several opportunities ef doing «one little kindness fer eur he roine of the pond, and very aeon sba fa vored me so far as to bow to me when ever w* met. Ina« a happy mau non— the most favored one of a'l the rkater«, I thought. I began to feel that the little mystery waa almost mine, and Iwfis rath er* indiguant when any an« else paid her little gentlemanly attention. I felt that they were infringing on my rights. Bv degrees I became bolder, and ventured to address some conversation to her.— She replied to it in a low whisper, whioh was exceedingly flattering to me, as, »« cording to my interpretation, it must mean that her words were intended for tuy ear alone. Going te the park every day, new, be earn« as much a part ef ray programma as going to my diener. 1 had never bean abla to prevail upon my little myataiy ta I raise bar veil; still I fait fully assured, in I my ow» mind, that a view of bar faoa would only iioraase my admiration of lier. Slight twiegei of jealousy would sometimes assail me when I eaw that sh^ was ready 10 converse with ethers ae well ae with myself: fur »he seemed now te be overcoming, in a measure, tbe ex treme timidity which had, at 8r»t, made her so cut «I.« sartsTso peered to listen to me With deeper inter est, and that »lie evinced greater plea sure in my society than in that of ethers. One day a group efus were standing together on tile pond, and tbe question was asked, "Who among us is the swift est skater. irely reserved. JWR I bed iW of rert-ctlng that »be ip "I am," replied tbe rsilgd mystery: 'and whoever can overtake me, »ball have a kiss,' and instantly tbe erituson balnioral was gliding swiftly ahead of, and far beyond us. All started in quick pursuit. I had always been a good skater, but now I had something to utge me on to greatar efforts than 1 had ever yet made. I felt somewhat startled, it is true, by the very Übetal offer made by my little divinity, fer 1 had always been very particular about tuck matters, and •! admired re serve, above all things, in a lady; still, I reflected, thie was. of course, intended for me elope; she expeoted me to out skate all the others, and 1 felt that my chivalry—to speak of no softer feeling— was calling up me to exert mysslfte the almost. I was making the bsst speed of whioh I was capable, when, te my mortifieation and chagrin, I saw another fallow shoot triumphantly past me. 1 called into re quisition all my power«, and, finally, left him behind. Tbe little divinity was but a shert distança in advance of me, and I felt eertain of viotory, ^rheu a break in tbe iee put a stop, fur a moment, te my progress, and my rival passed me, iron ioally h^okoning me forward as be did so. I was soon again in full pursuit, but oh! misery! what did 1 see? My rival had reached the object of our pursuit, amVwaa in the lict of paum* rortu al arms to seize the prize! I would have given anything I possessed to have been able to stay his arm, at that instant, but it was not in my power. One moment ef dreadful suspense, and the petite fig ure had glided out of the reach of its would-be captor, and the almost trium phant vietor had slipped, and was lyiag prostrate on the ice. Thera still was hope for me, and I shot eagerly past him, too intent on securing the reward of the ehase to waste any time on iey prostrate fellew-omnpetitor. Tbe_ distunes be tween the crimson balmoral and myself was lessening—1 took oourageand pres sed on. Presently a half-suppressed laugh from iny mysterious divinity rea I eked aiy ears This was cheering to me, for, of courso, it must mean that the lit tle angel was pleased because 1 was the one most liksly to'win the reward. One moment more, and my arm encircled the graceful figure, while, with tbe other hand, I proceeded to raise the veil. Ob! blissful monism! Wa»,ever man so bles sed as 1? But, heavens and earth! what did I see! Not the «harming faoe ef beauty whioh I had expeoted—but in stead, tbe most roguishly uiisahiovous face of a little boy, who slipped quickly from my loosened grasp, and, with a loud laugh, shot triumphantly on, leaving ms paralyzed between astonishment and an ger; while' my companions, who, but a moment before, bed felt disappointed at my succès», now heartily enjeyed the joko of which I had been made the vic tim. Tha "veiled mystery" disappeared from view; no one knaw where it want, tier waa it over sasD theta again in re cognizable guise. I returned te my baohelor quarters, and triad ta face the cheerless apartmeut bravely; for I made a resolution, then, that I weuld nevar agaia give any one the opportunity of playing a similar joke upon me. Vnd 1 have kept my resolu tien bravely, for I invariable aveid eve rything that wea-*« skirts. For twq yeara Kitty Ward had been earneatly »trivin* to be good. She d«ai r# d, beyond all things, to be pure in heart, true in motive, singla in purpose, But the result did not satisfy hgr. To her very great mortification, she wee for oed to see that the real obstaole was self-love. The issue of all this was the following insertion in her diarv: Resolved: . IJitb the help of my hea venly Father, I v^ll seek te do good wbera and i" what degree I can, with out any thought or hop» of reward or return in any way. At this juncture a pleasant voie« from an adjoining room called,' "Kitty lave!" I "Yea, dear wethar." I "Haraara tw» iivitatians far yon."

Kitty ran up staira fully determined te go to Woodlawn, but tbe firet object that met ber gaze was her diary, and ibe resolttion. Then domuiencad a sharp ooufliot.— The many and varied delights of Wood lawn passed before her, the rides, the excursions, the boating partite, the fetes of ail kind«, and the eleganeo aud reliua rneut of its eurrouudiuga; aud, in strong eontrast, was patient, suffering aunt Ruth in her quiet* little home, widowed and ehildiess for years, with no company, nothing cheerful. "Well, now, if ever there is a.eliauce te uot upon my Saw resolution-" and, to avoid further temptation, she wrote a regret to cousin Alioe, and au acceptance to aunt Ruth. Aunt Ruth took tff her speetaolee, and wiped her eyes, when aha read Kit ty's nota, audaaid, "The blessed child!" and then handed it to tho pbyaioian, by her bodside to read. This physician, a grava, quiet-looking geutleiuau, with a broad, whit« forehead, and deop eyes, was the child of a dear, early friend of aunt Ruth. Kilty cam# at the appointed time, and within a week the house waa a obanged place. The door* and windows were opened, the tweet air and bright sun shine let in. Bouquets were icattered hero and there, freshly arranged each day. The rigid arrangement of tbe furniture was broken. Aunt Ruth's old piano was turnsd, and drawu up near the doer ef her room, that Kitty might stag old hymns to her. Aunt Ruth's good old hsart was greatly rejoiced by all this change, and the doctor wonder ed greatly. • Ha saw the effeot, ami knew Kiltr to be the eauae, but the means was to biui a mystery. From day today he «pent much time, wuuder iag what change suoh a bright spirit would nieite iu his grand, but aombre «IS plaee. a mile nr two distant. Nothing could exceed Kitty's amsze ment wbsn she found that aunt Ruth's friend, to whom she had written so often, •f whom she talked so much, was the grgat Ik. Muller. She did not talk mueh in bis preseuoe, for she stead in rant awe of him; but delight was un speakable in listening to bis conversa tions wilh aunt Ruth. His vest knowl edge, hie varied experirnees, his great and gotd ideas, ware wuudarful to her, aud sLa congratulated hersalf many timas teat she knew biui sa much batter her« than alia could have doue at Woed vu Well, it fell out ae Kitty bad predict ed. Aunt Ruth grew rapidly better.— So, after ell, Kitty went to Woodlawn aboat tba time Dr. Meller did. But, for soma reaeon, she did not enjoy it ae ahe bad done in feruuu; rim»». Ever* 'T u*,'T f; looked back with a sieh to tbe quiet con versa.,on in a.ut Ruth'. aick-room— ! She saw but little of Dr. Muller. He seemed engrossed by tbe gentleman. The fa et was, be avoided her; for when ha saw her so sought by her yonug friend», no party being complete without her, the delight and joy of all, he began to fear that the society of a dull student like hims-lf must be irksome, and he on ly then discovered what it would he to g him to have her always. Toward the close of the visit Dr , Muller proposed that tht party should transfer themselves to hU pla.e fora weekorso. This invitation was bailed I a a er weary ef welldoing, never eesking for her awn." orally cuvarad with red hair though with delight, for tbe old Muller place, with its majestic trees, beautiful views, long avenues, grassy lawns, and, above all, tbe grand, mysteriona rooms, closed sinco bis mother's death, were objeots of interest to all. Not tbe smallest of Kitty'» pleasure was that she found dear aunt lluth there, but yat she earned a dreary heart the while, for it seemed to her that all the interest in lift was concentrated in this one »pet, and how soon ska was te leave it. One day Ur. Muller sat in his library alone, bis head buried iu bis hands.— Aunt lluth came softly in. She saw his loek of wretohednsss. "Thee ought to bo a happy man, Her mann, with these broad lauds' and thy great opportunities to do good. But tbee does not look so." "Aunt Ruth, 1 would give all of this, and tuera, for the one little ewe-lamb that is not mica." "What daes thee mean, Harmac?" "I maan that my selfish haart, old grava', am! full vf fSirta*4ta* y un little Kitty." Auut Ruth walked out of tba library with more celerity than her gentle nieve mente usually permitted, went to Kitty'a room, ia a manner that might be oailad excited, and said, "Katharine, go te tbe library; tbe doctor has need ef tbee." Kitty baatened, a little alarmed. "Aunt Ruth says you want me, Dr. Mulior." "I do want yau, I do. What olsa did she tell you? That my whole being ie crying out fer you, that my heart is hungry and insatiable? But I did not mean to disturb your lits. 1 did not mean this knowledge to coma to you." Kitty turned ber sweat, true faoe full Dr. Muller, ia all tbe upon him. world there is nothing I would rather bave than your love." She has been his wife now six months. Mrs. Mullet is u good and noble wo noble man, Dr. Muller is a good and man, and there is no rsason my thsy should not lead good and noble lives.— Aunt Ruth olosod her little house aud ie their honored guests. Kitty still strivss ardsntly to kssp her resolution, but her husdand thinks she nevsr had need to make it.

Ike dislikes "composition," where a thirae is giv en out to be written upon by schol ars, aud his «redits are not very great in that direction generally, but the other day lie astonished the toas ter and every one in the scheol by an elaborate article on the horse- He was called upon to Vead it aloud to thu scholars, aud upon getting upon the platform, he made'a bow and be gan: "The horse is a quadruped, with four logs, two behind and two before' He has u tail that grows to the hind part of his body, that na ture has furnished him with to drive the flies away.
