Uncle Obed's Visit.

"• It would have required no very powcrh stretch of imagination for Mis. Amber' guests to have fancied themselves amid th ]i"ht and fragrance of some topical isle 01 that festal night. The stately balustrade; i were wreathedin tinted blossoms, the air wai freighted with the perfume of heliotrope anc tuberoses, and the chandeliers that hunj from the frescoed ceiling like coronals o: quivering fire, threw a noonday brilliance over (he crowd. , At the further end of the superb drawing room stood Mrs. Amber bcrself-a stately matron in sapphire velvet, illuminated by the pale "limmer of pearls. No otic would have imagined from the smiling self-possession of her manner that this night was the crisis of hir false existence—the turning point of her 1 Through all the hum aud murmur ot the aristocraticasspinblage, through all the crash of arrivimrrariiagos, and thestormingmclody of the Laud beyond, Mrs Amber's quick ear caught oue low, hesitating tt p on the thresh old." It was hor Husband's She beckoned i to him with her jeweled fan, and whispered. 1 in scarcely audible accents : "Well?" ( , " Just as I expected. We are ruined ; can't keep above water a vrook ; Morris lias failed, and we shall follow siiK" "A wrick !" inniiiuivd Ms. Amt>ci, thoughtfully. (iAwtok! UJiecaiiaccompliuh much ma week, Havoyuunotioa d howat en tive young bold is to Cecilia ?" she added, musingly. "He won't be, after— _ ... " Hush I" Mrs. Amber exclaimed wi.n a quick Kltinfie around, as if apprehensive ihattho very walls would hear the vn luspcrea colloquy '"IE she wins rt rich husband be fore the world learns of your distress, we shall be tolerably saff. F»r your own sake, keep a cheerful Uxc:; mingle with your guests ; throw oft1 that perturbed frown. 1 tell you all will yet be right." Mr -Mubcr shrugged his shoulders and whistled a bar of some popular melody, then turned away to obey hU wife's behests to the best of his ability, while Mrs. Amber, her smooth lips all wreathed with dulcet smiles, leuimed the task of receiving her gay friends. ~„, , Suddenly there was a sort of thrill acd titter iv the apartment; the crowd opened as if to make way for somebody, and Mrs. Amber stepped forward, expecting some dis tinguished arrival. " Good evening Tiddy. I killdlated you would all be gone to bed attlua timeo night, but I see you don't keep New Bamshxre hab its. Hain't forgotten me, have you ? Whj, I'm Uncle Obeu Jenkins !" Mrs. Amber turned pate through all her artificial bloom at the unexpected addition to her company that stood before her, his honest features beaming with genuine delight. It was a ruddy-faced old man, iv a suit of butternut colored cloth, carrying m one hand a really tied hendkerchief, con taining hi-i wardrobe, and in the other a crooked walking-stick, Ml of knots and enarls—such a stick as grows only in dense swamp?, where the young Baphugs have to twist their littlo arms in evciy possible direction to get a ray of sunshine, and grow iv the most unheard-of shapes. "1 declare," pursued Uncle Übed, "you re line as a fiddle, Tiddy ; and where's them little gals you sent up summer before last, to ■ret red cheeks at their Uncle's? Growed up to be young ladies—well, if I aiu't beaten ! And Uncle Obed extended a bony hand to Mi3S Cecilia, who drew back aud put up a gold-mounted eye-glass with an air of well bred astonishment. . ,_..,, "Ineve, heard that auything ailed GiciJy s eye-sight," said Uucle Übed, in extreme per plexity. "Aud that young fellow iv the veller waistcoat is her beau, 1 suppose? Wall, young folks will be young folks, and we old ones hadn't ought to interfere. That's what I always said when you and Jim Amber used to talk in the old hillside orchard after you had done milking." Thisunlucky allusion brimmed thealreany overflowing vials of Mrs Amber's wrath ; she diew her gloved hand from the old man's cordial grasp with an energy which puzzled him, and spoke with compressed lip 3. " I am really sorry, sir, that we were not previously made aware that you proposed to honor us with a visit ; in that case we should have prepared ourselves for the pleasure .Now I regret to say that it will be incon venient to receiveyou. :> " What I" ejaculated the astonished old man, who was really uncertain whether or not he had heard aright the words of his only niece—the girl whom he had brought up and cared for when others rejected the charge of the penniless orphan. Mrs Amber repeated the frigid sentence with that emphasis which only a heartless woman of the world can give, " This is a big house, Tiddy," said the old man, in slightly tremulous accents, and 1 should ha' tl,ought there was a corner in it big enough for Uncle obed, I wasn't cal culatiu' to stay long—not over a week at the furthered ; but I'll go home in the morn ing on the very first train that leaves the city, If I'm iv the way." Mrs Amber made no reply, but tapped the table with her finger, and Uusle t 'bed turned away with a moistened eye that made a curiuua rinj^ ot mist around the glaring jets of thellame in the chandelier. Uncle Obed v>as wishing himself well out of the heartless scene, when suddenly a pair of plump little arms were thrown around his neck, and a check fe-hcr and pinker than a damask rase was preßsed to his brown face. It was Mr?. Amber's youugts! daughter, his ow:i petnolae—the iucorrigib'o romp, who Imdclimbtdcherry trees nudstolcu birdncst-s innumerable in t lie meadows of the old home stead, two or three years ago. Aud there she was, a young lady in pink silk aud cameo bracelets ! " Dear Uucle Obcd, I have only just heatd ot your arrival. lam glad to sec you if uo one else is l" And antthcr shower of kisses succeeded, greatly to the d'scoiniiture and envy of the young man who had escorted Miss Amber to the spot, and stood surveyiny; the tableau. "Go aboutyour business, Harris,"sho ex claimed gayly. " I have gat ever so much to say to Uncle Obed." Aud Mr. Harris 1.-attimer obeyed, but rather ungraciously, "Just the fame little Fanny as ever !" ex claimed the old man, patting her curls with delighted tenderness. " Yes, aud I never will change for you, Uncle Obed," said the girl.' 1 haven't for gottcu how kind you were to me up at the old homestead—how you shielded my trans gressions, concealed my faults, aud always had a smile for naughty Fanny." Aud she chatted on, entirely unheeding her mother's frown of displeasure, Fanny had always been the most unmanageable of Mrs. Amber's daughters, aud the worthy matron secretly resolved to lecture the young lady at her leisure. Uncle Obcd was by no means deficient is observation, aid even while lie related the change which three years had wrought iv the vicinity of the old homestead, he perceived the rosy blood rnouut to his neiee's cheek every time Mr. Harris Latlimer passed. " Now, little girl," said he, "it's my turu to ask questions. Who is that youug fellow there by the window !" Fanny looked up and down, played with the middle button of Undo Obed's coat, aud answered very softly : " Mr Lattimcr. " Humph ! I s'pose that is'nt all you cau tell me about hiui ?' There was a minute of hesitation, and Fanny hid her checks ou the old man's shoulder and told him all, "Then why ou earth don't you marry him ?" ejaculated the old gentleman, at the close of the little life romance. " He's only a poor lawyer," sighed Fanny, " aud mother will never consent. But one tiling I am am resolved on," she added, with sparkling eyes, " I will not many any one else, least of all that odious Colonel Woodall, not if ho were worth twenty times twenty thousand dollars !" The stamp of her fairy foot gave emphasis to the determined words she spoke. Fanny was very much in earnest, and if Colonel Woodall had happened to be present he would have concluded that his chances were, to say the least of it, rather small. " Twenty thousand dollars, eh ?" slowly lepcatcd Uncle Obed. '• Well, Fanny, it's n hard world we live in—a hard, griping, "rinding world. I never thought so afore, but somehow to-night has borne it upon me." When Uncle Obcd went away the next day he \vaa comparatively cheerful. The fond words and loving smile of little Fanny had fallen like drops of balm upon the little sore spot in his heart. There it was, nostlingiatho hillside, that gray old farm-house, with giant sycamores tossing their silvery branches above it, and the lilac buslioa nodding before the narrow windows. Uncle Obcd thought it never looked so plcasent as now, in the level gold of the sunset, with the purple woods rising agaiDst the bright far-ofrhorizon, -Blithe did not st >p in the cosyroom, where the eight-day clock ticked away as peacefully as if its mastir hud not bo.-n absent two whole days—a thing which hadn't happened before in half a century ; he went straight up stairs to a tiny nook under the eaves where he kept an old trunk, curiously scented with c uuphor, and bound together .with strong clasps and rivets of brass. From this recep- ho took a bit of paper aud held it so thai ;hc light fell ou its contents. "Twenty thouaaud."he muttered. '' Well I'm au old man, and that gal is je»t tho light oi my eyes. It. shall buy her liappinass, tho blue-oyed bird, instead of lying useless in tLy garret chamber. i.-Lo Ucuerves it ail."

Uncle Obed pocketed the document locked his precious trunk, and went down stairs wiping his spectacles. The great financial crash had com? and ' the house or Amber & Co., was among the first in the list. It was true that Mrs. Amber had been expecting the failure, but the blow fell r.one the less heavy for the anticipation Somehow, her plans had all proved futile' Young Gold had, insomeunaccountablewiv' discovered the tine state of the Amber cv chequer, and ■iviseh concluded that it -was imf beat to waste his personal charms and eltoan* stock of small talk on so ineligible a fair t as Miss Cecilia. Colonel WcodaU wm* shown unequivocal signs of withdrawing M suit, not at all to- Miss Fanny's disnlpf sure, In fact, everything seemed to be Iz. iug wrong, and the only satisfied [membea of the confederation were Harris Titt,vT and Fanny. mitm» It was a gloomy morning of rain and tern pest, and Mrs. Amber sat in a sort of alovenln dishabille, in a narrow room in one of o third-rate hotels. Her own stately home ha? fallen a prey to greedy creditors some tiZ since. Mr. Amber, at an opposite taLl» was opening and glancing at his letters "Hello I'liesuddentlyexclaimed dronn ing one and catching it up again. "* '' What's the matter, papa ?' asked Fanny " How you agitate one's nerves !"croaZi Mrs. Amber. loaned. " Hang your nerves ! Here's somethin™ to set them in a flutter—a letter horn aNp England lawyer, announcing that yon uncle, Oi>cd Jenkins, has made Miss Fanny Amber a present of twenty thousand dol lars, to become her property ou the day cli» marries Harris Lattraer." c " Twenty thousand dollars p murmured Fanny, with a crimson spot on her cheek Unoc«eob Ve!l^ yWCShaUbe! " You'er a nice manager I" snarled Mr Amber, turning sharply to his wife. » j* t was for this, was it, that you trentedMr. J fc n kius so rudely on tlie night of your" last party?". " i didn't know—l didn't suppose—" sobbed Mrs. Amber. "He never told ma he had any property." 11 Uf course not!" ejaculated Mr. Amber " It's enough to drive a man frantic to have such an'; idiot as you for a wife ! Twenty thousand dollars would have been every, thing to me just now. when there is a tear" city of ready money in the market. And what is worse, the sum is tied up bo that nobudy but Fanny can touch a cent of it." Mr. Amber strode out of the room, giving the door a very energetic flam, and Mr& Amber went gracefully into hysterics, while Fanny gat looking at the letter which had b~eD the messenger of so much happiness tfr her, with scailtt lips half apartand the light of deep gratitude in her eyes. ! " What will Harris say?" she pondered. "Wilt he not think it a blessed dream! No more weary waiting, no more procrastii nation. Oh, how can I erer thank Uncle Obed sufficiently I" But Uncle Obed was already thanked. When, upon Fanny's wedding-day, the deed which constituted her a small heiress was delivered into her hands, it wasencloaed in a narrow slip of cnarse bine paper, which the old man commonly used in hiscoirespon. dence. Upon this was written one single line, and the tears Buifused the fair young bride's eresas she read the words :— "In memory of Uncle Obed's visit,"
