THE FUTURE LADY DAMER--POLLY HAS A SECRET--UNDER THE MULBERRY-TREE Polly came into the house, as she always did, like a sunbeam.

Mrs.
Bundle, who was getting old, and apt to be depressed in spirits from time to time, always revived when "Miss Mary" paid us a visit.

A general look of welcome greeted her appearance in church on Sunday.

My father made no secret of his pleasure in her society.

I think she was in the secret of her sister's engagement, and Maria looked comforted by her coming.
Our meals were now quite merry.
