"I am glad I am too ignorant to teach." Emily handed the letter to ber.and while she read it, took out an atlas and studied the mao of Canada. "Xow here is Gaspe Ray," she said, "aud I do believe there are moun tains, and here is a dot marked St. Ann, with a number six'.y thread of a river crinkling along.

" "You will Lave to abate your pro verbial philosophy when you are at Henly House. Indeed, you really talk slang, Emily." "Slang in the English fashion. Here comes mother, pillar of the Fairford d!?nitv. representative of the ha.t Iteni." As Mrs. Fairford came in, Emily made a feint of rattling money be tween her palms, exclaiming, "Xow for a grand council, mother. Sit ye dow n." The little family made a pleasant trio. The old lady was filled witn the importance of ber past, into which everything except her daughters and her home had sunk husband, posi tion, worklly friends, influence, and money.

"Ifyou do not appear with a good wardrobe, those women will tnilf at you" ' added Gertrude. All groaned in chorus, and were beset as to the ways and moans of an outfit. "I must sell something," said Mrs. Fairford at last. "Oid Cendcll of fered me a hundred dollars for the lot next his, and I will send him word he may have it." Happily old Rendcll follo wed his summons, and being, as he allirmcd, a friend of the family, paid the mon ey down, and the women went to work with a "pleasing pain." It was so long since fresh and stylish garments bad been permitted either. With the modest sum and much sewing a neat outfit was prepared, and when Emily on the morning of her departure donned a silver-grey Euit with a black velvet trimming, she looked 8o pretty 'that she could not resist a sudden flow of good spir its. Mrs. Fairford and Gertrude ad mired her with tears of love and re gret. So Emily rode away from home f.ir the first time in her life, with tte vfceij aij jjefore her, and her iibiee euosen. At the close cf the uy ehtj arrived at Gape Ray, took a steamer which crossed it and left passengers on the opposite shore to travel farther on tho various roads leading to the interior. A man in plaio livery was wailing with Mr. Cornbury's wagon. He brought a politemessage fromh's master. "His master," tbougnt Emily, ;;and mine too : we are fellow-meni-j als. How these things make us look into the eld questions of rights and equality !" Heniy House was five Jiiles inland. Ry the shore of the bay it was flat and monotonous, bat as they drove on, the landscape grew bolder ; belts of splendid firs or immense oaks grew in the valley. They passed a lovely gray lake, like a silver cup amidst tho deep green, and then low moun tains loomed up. In a deep gorge Emily beard the roar of a wat?r-fa.ll ; then the wagon turned into a wide, well-made road running through pleasant fields and plantations, and the chimneys of Henly House c.ime in view. It was the only house v isi ble for ipiles, the country wassoihi.?k ly wooded. Emily was delighted to see that everything looked as it cug.it to look. What a letter she woul d write about going through a hand some gateway, np a fine avenue bor dered with lindens, past a lawn, flower beds, terrace, and before great stjne step3, where the wagon stop ped, and she alighted breathless aud intensly occupied with the situation ! A man on the steps opened the ball door and conveyed her to the library, where, he said, Mr. Cornbury was expecting her. As she entered the room, Mr. Cornbury rose, bowed gravely, and said, "Miss Fairford?" Emiiy bowed gravely too, and stood stilL Was this an Englishman of renown, she queried, the owner of so great a place : He wore a rough suit of grey and a shabby cravat ; his hair was carelessly arranged and streaked with gray ; deep lines were in his face. He came toward her, and she perceived that his gait was uncertain be limped. "Don't trouble your self, Sir," she said, going quickly tor a chair and dropping upon it. He smiled. "My lameness does not try me ; it is a natural detect, which ot course I despise, but must endure." She forgot at once that tbev were strangers. A feeling of sympathy, dread, anxiety, and a wish to do something for him, so irresistible with women, swept over her. And then for the life of her, she could not help thinking of her own perfection of figure. He continued : "It is your Yenus of Milo who suf fers being maimed, not those whose birthright it is." She blushed, but frankly met bis eye. "I suppose so," she answeied. And so the ice was broken be tween them. Mr. Cornborv rang the bell. "I think Mrs. Cornbury keeps her room to-day," he said. "My ni sees are dressing for dinner, and of course you wisb to be shown to yonr owe room. Kitty" turning to the .ser vant who bad answered the bell, at tend to Miss Fairford." "Xovels are a great deal truer tban life," thought Emily, as she followed j Kitty to the wide staircase. "Here1 is the proper frame-work for any dra ma, though there is no system or method that is not broken sooner or later by a catastrophe." Kitty ushered her iuto a room whose windows cemmanded a pros pect which made her cry out with delisrht. "This i3 the famousest place the country round," said Kitty; our folks sick for the old country come here to get a peep. When the Duke of Kent wat (iovernor-Geueral the Cornburys came over. Shall I lay out your thing?, mi?s?" Euiily gave her the key of her trunk. "ow must her poverty be re vealed. "Shall I dress for dinner" she in- tjuired. "Mr. Cornbury likes it" Emily recalled his appearance with a smile. Mttv dismmsea anu r-ruilv array- touch her. A bell rang, aad Kit ty re-appeared to show her the dining-room. Mr. Cornbury gave her a passing glance as he introduced his nieces Arabella and Aemlia. He saw j that ner composure was perfect. To bs looked for, perhaps, from a Yankee lady. "Dear Taibot,"quivi red a voice'be hiad Emiiy, "oa such in occasion I deemed it my duty to make my ap pearance. The tru impression must at once be conveyed. Miss Fairford, no introduction is necessary. I true.; your journey was not too fa t'gueiag." Emily wondered over this small j pale womaa with an imperious voice. And the diuncr, bow novel to her! The Cornbury crest stared at her from every thing the table-cloth, the irlass, the silver. She liked it, but thought of the old striped crimson i and blue tea -cloth at home ! The 'drawing- 'oom so pleasant, too the little ta'ules and shaded lounges, the bay-windows from which she saw the evening sky aad the darkling tree tops. What a beautiful, most desira ble thing were riches ! Mr. Cornbury read a newspaper, and Emily almost involuntarily remarked as he laid it down, and happened to look at her, that newspapers seemed out of place in such seclusion. "There !'' cried Mrs. Cornbury, "I said so that you would think us barbarians. And it is true ; we are isolated." "Your fault, Leonora," said her husband. "Rut, my dear, is it not best for you ? Were we at the capita!, could you bear the strain, the fatigue ? Mr. Cornbury shrugged his shoul ders ; an indescribable expression came into his face. "My poor dear," said Mrs. Corn bury, "it is quite enough for one to be helpless. Well for us that we have this seclusion." She stopped. Mr. Cornbury gave her a strange glance. Emily moved to one of the deep bay-windows, pained, disturbed. Her lines bad not fallen in pleasant places, after all : here wa3 an unhap py family, and she would be compell ed to know it. Mrs. Cornbury's pet grievaace ws ber busband'a lame ness, which exaggerated. Xow she pitied him ; now she meekly ac cepted the minfortune which recoiled j upon aad blighted ber destiny ; now it was the subject of an invidious comparison between himself and oth ers. To Emily's horror and anger, she once commented npon the differ ence between Emily's fine form and his, till she felt that Mr. Cornbury must detest her from being perfect. How Emily hated this woman then, so beartiess. so malicious ! It was bard to understand M. Cornbury ; pride was the keystone of his charac ter, yet he submitted to the outrages of bis wife. At last Emily discover ed that he accepted punishment as deserved. In a discussion npon in herited traits, Emily heard Mrs. Corn bury thank Heaven that she was childless. "Pool' Leonora," said her bnsband, "the yarn of good and evil is well mixed in yonr lot." His face was bent toward bers ; she was intent on a piece of embroid ery. A peevish frown, a repelling gesture from her, made Emily decide that the deformity of the wife was equal to the husband's. From that moment she entertained a desire to solace him. He soon understood this resolve and was grateful to her. For the first time in years he sought some . xmipanionsbip with her. Xecessari 1 j his nieces were included in the t impact. "Uncle Talbot," tbey de c lared, "was forgetting to be a ' bear, a nd learning to be a good pupil." 'I 'he evenings were passed in the li b ary, where be read aloud or con- v srsed, and in the parlor, where Em il. r played and sang and helped Mrs. U ornoury witn her feeble games at ct?xds. Emily was so much brighter than ber husband with the card that she Ix'came a favorite. What a hap py, pleasant, satisfying episode! E mily prayed that it might never en a. v ny snouia it, when every body seemed so satisfied and content ed, life so affluent in iu tastes and comforts ? One day when the girls were talking of a ramble in the woods for ferns, Mr. Cornbury asked if he m ight go. "How couid Bossy canter in the woods ? "Rossy ? Are von not meaning to waik ?" " "Oh. Uncle, yes ; but we thousrbt " They stopped, and he smiled at their confusion. "Somebody has thought for yoa that I cannot walk. Did yon ever try to invent a thought ? It misrht kill you, though, tender things. Yoa are all babies or old women. Poor Miss Fairford managing such an in terregnum. Rat yoa had one too, I suppose." Mrs. Cornbury looked severe at this whim of his, and said : "Dear Talbot, yoa forget. The girls were kind to anticipate yonr fa tigue. Your spirits are your sup port, and they will irive wsy. Of coarse yoa shall ride Bossy, or hare one of the men at hand." "With a wheelbarrow ?" era "Mr. Cornbury," said Emily, ab ruptly, "if yoa will give us the pleas ure of your company, will yoa help as about those minerals, and carry the box and hammer ?" His pleased face made her feel as if j she were aa old woman who bad gratified a little boy. She could have ratted his head. Thcr started on an October afternoon. Emily feared for the walk down a rough ra vine, and suggested that the girls should look tor ferns and mosses, for she meant to offer her arm to Mr. Cornbury, and assist him over the wild path, which she knew. She could but see how great his lameness was out-of-doors, bow it in)ured bis fine proportions. Mrs. Cornburv was cruel and absurd about it. A loving heart would grow to forget it. The girls came back to them as tbey sped on and went out of sight. Jlow pleasait it was ! The quail cried ia the hedge, the tiny squirrel itcr-itch-ed the beech trunks, and the mi! J winds shook showers of rustling leaves over tho path Autumn's ty ing seconds from her dial trees. They reached the ravine ; up the banks delicate birches fluttered, and gilded the gray air ; the roadway was full of rolling stones, loosening from the soil by the September rains. Mr. Cornbury directed Emily's attention to the clouds, swelling masses of thick vapor gathering over the ravine like wind-blown driftsof snow. Look ing up, ber footing gave way over a loose pebble, and she would have fal len but for Mr. Cornbury. She never doubted his-strength or pitied his lameness afterward. "I know these deceitful stones," he said, drvlv. "Thank you for your care; suppose we exchacge. Are you hurt ?" "A trifle. I believe my boot must be unlaced." This was quickly done. He gave them to her and then limp ed on. The same thought struck them, and looking at each other, both suddenly burst into a laugh. "Droll world. A pebble has made U3 kin, Miss Fairford." She wished she could think of somethin? to say, botanical, geologi cal, anything ; but somehaw a strange silence oppressed her. He continued a moment : "I may thank yoa for something besides your care. Y'ou have re minded me of what any man may have with a healthy mind, for some bow I have long believed I was not capable of happiness, l es, yon have restored me to an ancient self, when I only had time for a glimpse of it." "You owe me nothing, sir." "Xothing ! Do you not know ter than that V- brief bet- Tbey turned the path, and saw the girls beckoning to tbem : but Kmily declared she must rest, and beg ged him to go on. While gone, sbe med itated this wise : "Emily, look your self fairly in the face before you ad dress any higher power. Don't fall in a fog of sympathy and follow 'a light-o'-love,' which may leave you in a quagmire. Suppose a man is sol itary. Oh ! how pleasant to share a solitude I wot of ! hmily, yoa must give up going as a governess take up another trade, far, far from here." "What are yoa thinking of ?" he asked, suddenly, returning. "Of the selfishness of the heart, and that it is time to move homeward. I feel quite recovered." "Is the heart selfish when it is deeply moved, or when it is dead of its own coldness : be asked, looking intently into her eyes. "I have late ly bad the impulse to be generous to tbe whole world." "If we look into the heart, we fan cy it is affected, so doctors say; ques tions, therefore, about that organ may make us morbid." On their return he was silent, lis tening to a voice echoing from where ? Eden, perhaps. Should this voice be beard, or silenced ? Manlike, he shifted tbe burden upon the next hour, and who can tell what an hour may bring forth ? Emily shut herself in her room on the plea of headache. Her pain called into life the old, old memories, and those at this moment were as faded, scent less flowers ; petal by petal tbey fell from ber heart forever. Well, her dead knew tbe way to bury ber dead a womanly task. At breakfast, when she appeared, the tri-weekly mail was distributed, and there was a letter for her. Running over it hasti ly, as Mr. Cornbnry watched and judged, an exclamation escaped her wbicn seemed involuntary, but which his instinct told him was uncalled for. "Xo ill news, I hope ?" he asked, with a meaning that did not escape her. "Xews that compels me to go home at once, Mr. Cornbury." A wall of darkness suddenly built itself before him, with Emily behind it forever the dearest, sweetest friend he had ever gained. He knew, too, that he must not ask ber to stay, nor to re turn. Ill-fated doors ol a hopeless house would that they could never open "Arabella," said Emily, hushing the chorus of lamentations, "I hope you and Amelia will go to to the sta tion to hear my parting sermon. I have some studies to suggest." "I declare," said Mrs. Cornbary, "I am quite npset Onr relations are scarcely adjusted. Don't yoa protest against it, Mr. Cornbury. I am re ally getting used to Miss Fairford." "Sbe mast decide for herself," was tbe reply. "But her duty to tbe girls ?" "Duty has different meanings some times." Emily could not play the hypocrite. Sbe longed for the hoar of depart ure. When it came, and sbe was shut in her room, a message came from Mr. Cornbary that be would be obliged to her if sbe would come in to tbe library for a settlement Of course she mast go. Mr. Cornbary motioned ber to a seat, which sbe meekly took. "Of what do voa accuse me, Miss Fairford ?" "What can yoa mean, Mr. Cora- rinry " "Can yoa be honest with me ? Is not yonr resolve of departure over hasty ?" Emily took refuge in the cooven- tisinal "1 am so serry to go, sir ; sorry to j leave ao kind a friend as jou. a, and ' id WHOLE NO. i:3:.L.;r,?.p",c,-nt-MuUi'. b-r th my pupils too good girls. But I have never told yoa bow dependent my widowed mother i3 upon me. Ob, I must go." He looked at his watch. "Just so much time to beg the question," he said. "Ry-the-way," and he handed her an envelope, which sbe took and opened then safely counted out five notes, and laid four back upon the tabic. "These do not belong to me, Mr. Cornbury." "A year's salary belongs to you, Miss Fairford." She shook her bead. Had not the last moment come yet ? "Emily, I cannot spare my friend. Will you go because of soma offense I am ignorant of" Sbe moved toward him, and the nnlfij fliitrapprl t.i t K A tt.-inr "I know that you can stay he con- - M y tinned in a nleadintr voice. ,4If Tor choose to stay. wbv. why not ?" Mr. Cornbury," and offered him her hand, "let us cut the Gor diaa knot. Do you love me ? you do not love me, I I may re main." Tbey were lost in mutual intense scrutiny, each wishing, fearing to know the truth either way a misery. There was no noise of opening door, no footfall, but they turned and saw Mrs. Cornbury close beside them. "Yes, John said yoa were waiting here, Miss Fairford. So sorry" here her eyes caught the fallen notes. "Your boxes have gone, and the car riage is ready." Mr. Cornbury was unaware of her wild glance. Emily felt rather than saw the paii in his face. She looked np at Mrs. Cornbury, bo mov ed that she hoped for her womanly compassion, aud then she wondered if the world had not better come to an end for them all. "Good-by, Mr. Cornbury ; I shall never forget you," she said and hur ried out He caught her hand wildly as she turned ; the ring sbe wore cut ber finger as it slipped :ff in his grasp. Mrs. Cornbury followed her. "Ibe j nature of tbe news you have heard! precludes all hope of your return, does! it ?" she asked, as Emily got into the carnage. "It does, Mrs. Cornbury." "I was sure that it must be so. The next time time, if I were you, I would keep my salary." I. Year Nale iinl.

Xot till it was safely stowed away did he announce that be had no money. "Xo money ! now do yoa expect to buy paper without money ?" Xot prepared to state exactly his plan of operations, the boy made no reply. "Do yoa consideryour note good ?" asked the lawyer. "Yes, sir." "Very well ; if you say your note is good, I'd just as soon have it as the money ; but if it isn't good I don't want it" The boy affirmed that he consid ered it good, whereupon the lawyer wrote a note for fifteen pence, which the boy signed legibly, and lifting the bag of papers, trudged off. Soon after dinner the little fellow returned, and, producing the money, announced that he bad come to pay his note.
