From the moment that I stepped upon the ground I knew that he was intending to speak to me. Perhaps I felt it by the way, he watched me a- I went from phice to place. - When he came to my fcido, it;eeined that the whole party hushed voices, heart and soul to listen tojus.

But my 'Jiapiincss was of (.hurt duration, for .after the supper was cleared way, and Vihiio I sat by an open window-, recalling the events of the day,' my mother said to mo: - "Your Aunt Hastings was her to-day, and idie said that John Blaklie was (ini.-hing his hom-e on the hill, jid vou hear any anything - thing anything about it at the picnic?

Seeing this mother came up to tne, and rented her hand upon mj head and said: "Poor child!". How from my heart I blessed her for her quirt sympathy.

"You will be very happy," 1 said one day in ntir-wor to all this. Fannie looked up suddenly into my face. I thought a quiziueid expression drifted across her featu.es. "IJ"W pale you look, Besie," she said. "What is the matter with vou?" "Mothing. 1 am sure.'' 1 an.-wcrcd, with some little show of spjiit. "I am glad of it.; but, indeed, you do look downright ill.

John will be there, and wo will have a j leasant time of it." I went, in spite of myself, alt le ugh every step towards the house that, was once to be miee wa-- l.ke veiy toiture to me. Oh! what a plcastint hcu-c it was and h"W simply and tastefully furnlhed, from the cunning, neatly giained kitchen to the well caipetcd pailors.

After more than twenty days of reflection, correspondence and consultation, Mr. Lin Lincoln - coln Lincoln authorized Mr. Greeley to tender his "safe conduct" to gentlemen from the South bearing "'propositions looking to the establishment of peace.
