The last dying cadences of a delictously creamy waltz, acrcss whose wiered notes the soul of Beethoven had poured its glomny sadness, were floating over the perfumed crowd that filled the ball room of the fashionable Washington hotel ; there was the stir and murmur of separating couples, and the ill-suppressed yawns of weary "wall flowers" that follow in the wake ol every brilliant waltz. Kate Elwyn stood in the recess of the window, playing carelessly with the faded jessamines an I tube roses of her boqnet, while her lovely blue eyes wan dered anxiously from one place to another, evidently in quest of some familiar counte nance which they could not discover. There were few more beautiful faces than her own, even in that festive crowd, where half the belles ii the Union had brought their diamonds and bright eyes to dazzle the politicians and law makers of the land. Rather beneath the medium size, with the fiagi o delicacy of a fairy, her complexion had the transparent waxen bloom that you look f r only in children, while her heavy bands of golden hair lay over her sum.-what low f I'ehead in ripp iiig waves of amber. Very duk blue eyes, ttauspireut as a stpphbo • I the first water, and a lit'le crim- .ti m oiMi. Curved like Cup 1'- b> v, gave a l liiionai p. quancy to her face, and altogether she wa as perfect a specimen of the radiant blonde as one often sees, out of a picture gallery, <>r a novel. Suddenly her cheeks bi i-sameJ into ruse-, and her whole countenance brightened, as a tali and rather elegant io >king gentleman languidly sauntered towards her. "Chatdcy, 1 thought you were n ver c >tn i;." !" "'b • "I've on'y been down i:i tho supper ro im for a few nn.ment.s, my dear—sorry you've missed me.

It is not always best to let a man know the extent of his power over that mis erable captive, lis wife—it is astonishing how much the sex delights in tormenting its 'victim. There is one blessed avenue of re i lief always open to the woman kind, howev er— a good cry I No wonder that Kato Ei j wyn felt better when she wiped away the ! shower of tears and brushed back the lovely ! rippling tres'es Irome her forehead. '•What shall ! do," she murmured to ber i self, delngmg her handkerchief in rose water I and trying vainly to cool her burning eyes ; ' what ought Ito do? O, I wish I had nev er come away from home ; it is a judgment on me fur leaving my dear little babes in the hands of cold hirelings ! 1 was so happy before I ev4-r thought of this hollow, deceit ful whirlpool of fashion !" She burst into lreh tears as she remem bered her husband's la-t words. "It was cruel of bun to speak in that cold sneering way to me," she sobbed. Hive I hist all the spells he used to tell me I pos sessed? If he only knew how these thing*■ hurt me, I am sure he would act in a far dif ferent manner." She sank involuntarily hr-ck, as if some rude hand had struck her, as Miss Raymond's clear, melalic laugh suddenly li uted up aud ibly through the closed door of her ro m Ami tlo-n -he set her c >uipr- - e l lip- to geli.er, and il new !o< k came 1 :it> the hquni deptli- • f her wot blue eyes. ihe gilded ini siu.ie hand of the carvod B irisrati ei< ck on the mantle had tr.ivele'l nearly twice found the ene'et ofenamcfed tignres lull,re Kite Kl wyn ill fed her gaz fr i*n the hunch of Velvet roses in the carpet.

"She's OUT riding in Colonel Warrington's barouche—been gone ever since morning,' returned the gossipping matron with great pr mplitude. "*Jnt fidmg ! Elwyn's brow contracted. "Sirange—very strange," he muttered, to drive out in that sort of away without so much as say in a word to me ! I always t men d that Warrington a puppy, and I'm sure of it now !" He went down and dismissed his equipage, and then returned to the drawing-room, as restlcs as the wandering -Jew. After on i>r two moody turns acroSs the long apart ment, he sat gloomrly'd"wn in the window recess, Even Aurora Raymond's pretty lisping chatter eould not interest hun now. 4 Would Kale never cohie ?" he thought, as he looked the fortieth tune at hi- watch. . ssin- came a last, just ' in time to run tip -'ad-To- a hun.< d dinner totlei- came, smiling and lovely, with her Rair blown al)out bv the fresh wind, and her eyes spark Img radiantly. Elwyn—dog in the tnaojpT that he was—Could have knocked Colonel VYarringtmi down for the voluntary gaze ol a luiiratn-n with whicp he looked after bis fiir coup anion. Presently Mrs. Kate re-appeared, in a magnificent dress of lustrious silver green silk, lighttd up by the flash of emeralds at the throat and wrists, and frosted green mosses dropping from her hair. "Why have you put on that odious green dress ?" asked Elwyn, catching at some -iight pretext as an escape valve for hi lil humor. "You know how much I dislike green." "Oh, well, said Kate, nonchalantly, "you are so fidgctty, Charles. What difference can it possibly make to you whether I wear green or yellow ? It is entirely aby gone fashion for husbands to study one another's whims, ala Darby and Joan. We dress en tirely to please the public, the gay world, you know. And I put on this silk to please Mr. Garnet—he likes green so much !" Charles Elwyn stared at his wife in speech less astonishment. What did it mean ? She had always been tho humblest slave to Ids slightest wish or eiprice ; and now she smilingly set him at defiance. What evil spirit had possessed her? She never came near him all the evening never sought his approval by the little sly glances <tf appeal, o r the questi >ning looks thftt. had been so inexpressibly dear to him. No—she chatted away, bewitching!}* self reliant, the centre of an admiring group, un til Mr Elwyn was ready to rush out of the room in a transport of exasperation, "Allow tne to congratulate you 011 your treasure of a wife, sir," said Col. Warrington. "I iiave always known she was a beauty, but f never before appreciated her claims to be called a wit." Elwyn glared speechlessly at the polite colouel, who was evidently surprised at the ungracious reception of h's httle c inipltment. Just what I might have expected," he muttered to himsi IF, plucking fiercely at his mustaches. " What the deuce did 1 bringher hete for, ;! 1 didn't want every f.jol in society to fall down an 1 worship her ?" •'Would you like a drive after dinner, Kate ? ' h • asked, one evehing, after ah ut throe days sp.mt in tins very edify ing man ner. "Couldn't po--ihly this evening, dear," she said, adjusting tho wreaths of ivy that lii-peiided Ir in her shilling hair. "O, we've arranged such a nice moonlight party to ride out to the navy yard," "Bi ii. wii.it sto prevent rae from driving you there ?"' asked Mr Eiwyn, anxiously. "Our party i- all made up," said Kate, coolly. "I vo promised u> go in Mr. Gar nett - carriage. He i- ' '{delightedly agreeable ; and I like him so much." "lhr dick- ns y >u do !*' glow led Elwyn, 1 his fac 'hd t.rating and growing dark. •'But I "il (-Il you what you night do, if vou pleased," .*ui ! Kate inn cvntly, "Miss!

"Dear me. what a beautiful eveiug for a rid.," sighed Aur .ra Raymond, looking I sweetly up from her volume of poems, as Mr. ! Eiwyn reentered the drawing room, looking not unlike a man who has just had a molar ; ext racn Bui he'lidn't take the hint, acting, as ; Mis- Raym n . afteJlward.s indignantly re- | marked, "more like a bear than a 111 \n," and j •■ittuigmg morosely down to the perusal o! i of Ihe newspapers. A'a-, for the midnight' curls an 1 oriental eyes— their spell was bro ken ! How long the slow creeping hours did seem be'ore Kate came back ! Long ere the Sound of carriage wheels grated upon the pavement before tho door, he went up to his own room, and tried, useles-ly enough, to amuse him df with and letter writing. All his letters vv. ro unavailing ; between liiui and every occupation to which he turned crept one gloomy thought—l s re pang—to think that Kate was happy without his soci* ety—that she never missed his absent voice and smile. "I wonder if I'm jealous !" he muttered to himself, still plucking fiercely at the dark inu-tache. "It's not an agreeable sensation, at all events ! I wonder if Kate felt so when ever 1 fiirtei with Aurora nnd tho widow !"' This was quite a new consideration. Would the time eve" cijitia when Kate's heirt would be estranged "from him ?—rs tranged by his own idle and absurd conduct ? when the loving, "sensitive nature would cease to respond to his touch ? The Very fancy was agony ! He was wrapped in gloomy meditation when tile door opened, and his bright haired little wife tripped in loosing.very much like i inagnifl-d sunbeam. She stopped sudden ly when she saw his head . bowed down up4in hi- ,hnnils. •Charles, does your head ache ?" "No !" "Then what is the matter?" "My heart aches, Kate," jsaid lie sadly, it aches to think my wife has ceased to love me." She came to his side and threw her arms about his neck with caressing affection. "Charles,what do you mean ?" "I mean, Kate, that when you desert me for the society of otheis, and cease to pay any regard to my wishes, I can corno to but one conclusion." "And that ?" "That you have ceased to love me." 'Charles," said Kate smiling archly up in to his face, "does it grieve you to have uie prefci the society of others to your owu ?" "It breads my heart, Kate," he 6aid pas sionately. "Then, dearest, let us make a bargain. Let us allow Miss Raymond and Mrs. Ever elt to console themselves with Col. Warring ton and Mr. Garnett. while we are happy with one another. Shall it not be so?"' i "Kate ! you have been acting a part !" "Of course I have. Did you suppose for a moment that I was in earnest !" The loving she showered upon his brow dispelled every lurking shadow from the husband's heart, and he felt how inexor ably dear his young wife was to him. In the next day's train Mr. and Mrs. El wj'n left Washington, mutually convinced ! that they had had quite enongh of the gay capital, There were'two unmistakably good effects consequent upon their s joarn, how ever ; Kate was satisfied to remain quietly ac home for the rest of her life, and Charles was completely cured of every latent tendon cy to flirt !

The worst anemies to their eountrj', ever sir.ee the world began have been the political priest-, an ! the rule holds as good i.a the present ago as in any which has gone before. The renowned commentator, Dr. Clarke, was doubtless impressd with the truth of this a sertion when he wrote the following : "IL who while he professes the religion of Christ disturbs society by h ; s preaching or writir g, who excludes from the salvation of God tho-e who do not conform to his relig ious or political creed, never knew the na ture 4 f ihe Gospel and never knew its power and influence."

The business man who puts his sign 111 the newspaper does a much wiser thing than a man who fastens it over his store and who would think of neglecting that ? Where one person reads a sign in the street, five thousand read it in the newspapers.
