Stevens thought his steps equally suited to this purpose, it was very natural he should resort there with the same object. Mr. Stevens found no difficulty in frequently bringing about short neighbourly conversations with Mr. Garie. The little folk, taking their cue from their parents, soon became intimate, and ran in and out of each other's houses in the most familiar manner possible.
The moon, which had meanwhile been creeping higher and higher in the blue expanse above, now began to shed her pale, misty beams on the river below, the tiny waves of which broke in little circlets of silver on the shore almost at their feet. Mr. Garie was revolving in his mind the conversation he had so recently held with Mr. Winston respecting the free States.
Garie, proudly; "I only regret that I did not know it was necessary to relate every circumstance of appearance, complexion, &c. I wished to obtain a marriage certificate, not a passport. I mistook you for a Christian minister, which mistake you will please to consider as my apology for having troubled you;" and thus speaking, he bowed Dr. Blackly out of the house. Mr.

As the light fell on her face, their visitor saw that she belonged to the very class that she had been abusing in such unmeasured terms and so petrified was she with confusion at the faux pas she had committed, that she was entirely unable to improvise the slightest apology.

Hereupon ensued long narratives from both parties, which occupied the greater part of the morning. Mr. Garie, on leaving the house, slowly wended his way to the residence of Mr. Walters.
Garie often listened with delight to the quick pattering of her feet, as she tripped lightly through the hall, and up and down the long stairs. The birds that sang about the windows were not more cheerful than herself, and when Mr.

"Will you excuse me for not rising?" said Mrs. Garie, extending her hand to her visitor. "I have been quite ill, or I should have been most happy to have received you before.
"Oh, yes; I met them at the corner, on their way to school, looking as warm and rosy as possible. What beautiful children they are! Little Em has completely won my heart; it really seems a pity for her to be put on the shelf, as she must be soon." "How what do you mean?" asked Mrs. Garie.
It will be a great favour to me, if you can induce him to come. Poor Emily what a disappointment this will be to her," said he, as he entered the room where she was sitting. "What is the matter, dear?" she asked, as she observed Garie's anxious face. "I hope there is no new difficulty." Mr. Garie briefly explained what had just occurred, and informed her, in addition, of Mr.
