Mr. Stillwell ana Lucien conversed about last years crops and the market, while Ruth and Mr. Warner talked of the new singing-school and the anticipated winters amusements; and after tea was over, Ruth, who had just graduated from Mount II, entertained her friends with good music, but in some unaccountablo manner a spirit of unrest seemed to pervade the little company. Ruth did her best. Mrs. Stillwell plied her knitting-needles, and poor tired Farmer Stillwell slept. I believe I must bo going, said Lucien, awkwardly rising and making a drive for his coat and hat. Why, whats your hurry, -jucien It aint quite eight yet. Come, daughter, give us some more music. Aint you well, Lucien Yes, maam, perfectly; but to-morrow morning I must go to market, and as I have to start by four oclock, I feel pretty sleepy if I dont got to bed in good season. Ruth, according to custom, followed him to the door. Good-night, Ruth; I wont keep you waiting in the cold, and Lucien threw his strong arm around the little maidens waist and drew her olose to him. Dont, Lucien. You know X dont like you to be so familiar. Ruth, said he, folding his arms across his manly breast, I know you dont like a kiss from Lucien Stone now, but time was when you did. That deceitful scamp in there has fixed this business for me. Curse him. If he interferes with my rights Ill soon show him that when Go 1 made me, He gave me a soul to understand. . .
