Itwasaimplj this : That every time a word was poku that led to the period wbea Charley Morgan Grst met my cousin May, they would both laugh heartily, but always re fuse te tell at what they laughed. This was certainly rery provoking, and I bad little hesitation in telling tbem so not cnee.bat many times at wlich the alwate ended by kins iogeacb other acd looking very affec- i 0 i ' tioaate I determined to have a solution of the matter; if for no other reason than tbat it worried roe. I am but wo man, and baring pleaded to the pos session o( curiosity, I pee no reason why, sometimes it" 6hou!d not be in dulged. With this resolution, I set forth cne evening, where we three, Morgan, May and myself, were drawn np before tbe fire and settled for a talk. Tbere was no time for mincing matters, was my Erst idea, and with this thought I dashed boldly out with "Mr. Morgan " I usually call bim Charley, but I was desirous of show ing that I was really in earnest "Mr. Monran. wbv do you always laugh and look at Msy, when tte sucject nf Tour Grtt mee'intr nib ber u spo- b..T ?

Vou (shall not do it sir. If cousin Jane is to Lave tbat story I will tell her myself." And then after a pause the said, "when we are alone." "Vou ehall do no such thing Mad am May," was Charley's laughing response. "Vou shall do no such thing. Tbia time I 6hall have my own way, and cousin thall not bare her curiosity excited any more with out being satisfied." I saw there was to be a discussion on tbat point and I knew, in some way Charley was to Come eff victor, bo I, merely esyiog tbat I "would be back in a few minutes," stepped out of tbe room, and walked about the garden until I was sure the point was settled, wben I went back and found Charley and May as happy as birds and laughing, as usual. As entered. Charley drew up tbe rocking cbair and, after neeing me aafoly dp. posited in its depths, said, consin Jane I shall tell yon the story of Low I first met my wife. It was just five years ego this sum mer tbat I was granted exemption for a month from my desk, and went down with my old chum, Horace Hy att to bis father's in old Monmouth, tbe earden ot that unjustly abused Ftate of New Jersey. I should nev er have forgotten that visit even if I bad not there met with an adventure tbat bad its influence on tbe whole of my future life. I should remember it for its real true hospitality, tbe solid, old time comfort of tbe farm, and tbe quiet way in wbicb, within & lews days alter mv arrival. 1 was put in possession of it and made to feel that it all belonged to me to do iast what I pleased with. There were plenty of fish and we fished plentv of wood cock, and we shot All ibis shall be spoken of with proviso. I say we by which, let it be understood, I do not mean Hor ace's town sisters Carrie and Nettie as having participated in all these eports. Tbey rode, to be sure, and charmingly they did it ; they fished and I am obliged to confess they were mach luckier than their guest. I5ut tbey did not shoot, though I will not exult over tbe lack of ibis accom plisbment they were really charming enoogb without it 1 am sure that l shall not excite jealouey by declaring thai with one exception, wbicb I hall not mention bere, Carrie and Nettie II rati were tbe most charm ing girls that I had ever seen and was justly besiuting, as to which of tbem I should fall desperately in love with, wben my calculations were all disturbed by an accident (or so I suppose I must call it, though really seeming like a special providence. What tbia was, I shall tell in the best way I know bow. For some days after my arrival on the farm my curiosity had been much excited by tbe occasional panegyrics lavished, by tbe youog ladies, upon one schoolmate of their own, May Stevens by name, wto was according to tbelr highly colored account the most perfect thing 10 tbe shape of a womau tbea living. I tried to per suade myself tbat nothing in tbat line could surpass Nettie and Carrie, bat still tbe reputation of this May Stevens baanted me, and came like a shadow across my new born passion. I fonnd at last, as imaginary May Stereos, and do what I would the figure vis with me. At last I was worked into an agony of curiosity 4t d trembled with some great pur pose, which 6bould bring before me the object of my tbosgsU and the two sister's conversation. Is what this would have ended it is impossi ble for me at this ttue to say, had I oot one morning, as I entered tbe breakfast-room beard tbe startling words from Nettie : "And so ah is coming st last ! I am so glad." Whether it was tlat tbe train of ray thoughts was upon that point st that aaodent I cannot say but I knew directly the whole matter. I saw Carrie with sn open letter is Ler hand, and of log it with Nettie's words, I knew thac ibe hitherto only Iheard of May Stereos, the incom-l parable May was to peai t month t Hyatt's, and tbey were to eapect iber s,t say moment, though, as tbe letter read, she might not be down for a week to come.

This was a pretty state of things, and to make it worse I eight was miles from my destination, though, as it after wards appeared, not a mile from the next village, where I beard it can vassed , a tavern, supper aod beds could be had. I was disposed to be agreeable, and accordingly rendered all the as sistance ia my power to the unpro tected females for which I got my reward, oa arriving at tbe baren of refuge tbe promised tavern by be ing informed tbat such a thing as a bed for tbe night was an impossible idea, and tbat with some twenty more of the male gender, I must be content with a cbair, while tbe beds were ap propriated by tbe gentle sex. Slight ly disgosted I swallowed my supper and looked out upon tbe night. It was a beautiful moonlight night and verging on to ten o'clock. By Jove ! I would to walk to Hyatt's. Xo: sooner said than done. Giving my! carpet-bag into tbe landlord's bands for punctual delivery at Hyatt's next morning, I set forth. Eight miles is trifle, a and just as my watch marked a quarter after midnight I went up the lane that lei to tbe house. They were early to bed and early op. I walked around the house trying the doors; every one was fastened. It was of no consequence; my bed-room window opened on the piazza; I would not disturb tbe bouse; a bit of my climbing would do the business and should it be fast ened I would tap and waken Horace, who was my room-mate and bed-fel low. Tbe thing . was executed as soon as thought of, and ray band laid on tbe window, which yielded and I was in my room. By tbe moonlight that streamed in I saw tht tbe bed was occupied, and from tbe heavy breathing I knew that Horace was asleep. I would not therfore, awake him, but save the story of my mishap for tbe next day. With this re flee ticn I slipped quietly into bed and in three minutes was oblivious. What ought I have dreamed tbat nifht? But I shall not anticipate. I lay fac ing tbe window as tbe sun peeped np above tbe distant bills scattering the gray mists of tbe morning. My bed fellow was breathing heavily but it was broad daylight and there was no more sleep in me, so I determined tbat Horace should wake up and hear tbe story of tbe railroad break down. I turned quickly and gave tbe sleeper a sadden shake. As rap idly as my own motion , my bed-fellow who tad Iain with his back to ward me, sprang to a sitting posi tion. There are such surprises as are without terror, wbicb deprives us nntil the brain has time to reason, to act and think. Uocb surprises do not generate Fpreams and faints. They were expressed by open mouth ed aad silent wonder. TUs was tbe case of myself and bed-fellow as we satnpward and stared. Right hj my side with her face not more tL a two feet from me, eat a young wom3, not more than seventeen, with great. dsrk hazel eyes, snd such great mas ses of brown carls tacked nnder tbe neatest night-cap tbat ever was. She bad gtthered tbe bed clothes, with a spasmodic jerk np abont her throat, and with the most rigid as tonisbment, looked as though siu doebted whether sbe was sleeping or waking, g?ed steadily at my eyes. Memory serves s man nut little in each cases, but if my memory serves me right, it was I who first spoke blurted ont with, 'how came vou here!' The figure stared still in a speeeh- Jess astooisbemnt, but in a moment, as Ujojsgh awakened from its stupe faction afoie'Are yoa Charles Morgan ?' I answered yea.

Holler who a! and he'll be in tbe next town before tbe sound of your voice will reach tbe dash board. "Travel fast?" I should sav he could. Why, I once started frem Virginia City for Mead ow Creek right in front of the most dreadful rain storm we ever bad on the Pacific Coast "Wind and rain?" Why, tte wind blew eighty miles an hour, aid the rain fell in sheets. I drove light before tbat storm for three hours just on the edge of that hurricane and rain for forty long miles." ''Did you get drenched ?" "Drenched ?" No, sir ! What did I keep a fast horse f jr ? Why, I tell you, I Jrove right in front of tbat rain storm. I could lean forward and let tbe sun shine on me. or lean backward and feel rain and catch hailstones.

Presently he turned to this individual and queri ed: "Kliahn ?" "No." He considered a moment, and then asked : "Oflertrack?" "No." More reflection sleeply, then : "Iluooverprespice 7" "No." Bozzerbiler ?" No." Somnolent cogitation. "Izzeranv ax'dent?" "Not at all." Ho took this piece of information in to bis intellectual maw, and digesting it be concluded that he mast be very drank indeed.
