'But you must never forget to care first for your little sis ter; thecoid and the darkness will be harder for her to bear than for you, and you must keep her always warm and cheerful until she comes to my arms again." Lionel looked in his mother's'eyes but said nothing. Something filled his heart so very full that he could not speak. His mother gazed a while in silence over the sea, and the shadow of the cottage porch grew darker around her, so that Lionel began to fear lest she should vanish altogether; buttbe brightness of the setting sun had so dazzled his eyes that he could not see plainly. Ae last his mother spoke again `After I am gone you will find in my room a long dark mantle which your father left me when, many years ago, he reached his allotted age and departed from us. This mantle is en chanted, and when you see it you will very much wish to wear it; and if you should do so you would be en abled to see me where I am gone. NOtwithstanding, you must never yield,to . this desire until your sister Bose Shall have ceased-to requireirom you any further protecting care and labor ; for as long as you wear the mantel you wilt be powerless to give her any assistance in time of need, or keep her warm and cheerful in the winter weather; and though you would be able to see me, I should look pale and sad, and the cold winds and darkness. would increase around you. But if you have strength to re sist the spell of the enchanted mantle until your duty to your sister is per formed. you may then wear it with out fear, and I shall appear bright and smiling to you, even more so than you have known me here." As his mother ceased speaking, the shammy of the cottage porch became so deep that Lionel could scarcely see her where she sat. Nevertheless, it seemed to him that she bent over him and kissed his forehead and his eyes; and when he opened his eyes again she was gone. But looking act oss the sea, where the last glimpse of the sun was just sinking beneath it, he noticed a bright,path extending thence to the Island shore; and ai, the further end of the path, where it was merged in thesun, he thought he saw his mother standing with a glory all about her. Then something so. dimmed his eyes that lie could hardly distinguish her; yet it seemed to him that just before she vanished she looked at him and smiled. He stood gazing until the sea had became dark and gray, the golden path had van ished, and a cold wind, which came sighing from the east, had begun to drive the breakers into foam against the shore. Then he withdrew, with a shiver, Vito the cottage, a n d tit a sniffle, end entered his mother's room. By the light of the candle, as ho looked around the chamber be saw a long, dusky cloak, or mantle, thrown over the chair on which his mother used to sit. It hung in sombre folds, unrelieved by any bright embroidery or triming. As he gars d upon it wonderingly—for he never remem bered to have seen it before—he was conscious of a strange and almost ir resistable longing to put it on. It seemed to him that it would protect him, as nothing else could, from the chill of the east wind which was al ready beginning to whistle around the cottage. He even felt as if it would in someway bring track to him the comfort of his mother's premise and love. So he approached and lifted the heavy mantle from the chair. As he did so a dreamy, ener vating sensation began to Steal over him; his strength and vigor seemed to ebb away, and the noise of the sea waves on the shore sounded in his ears like thesmice of one sobbing in her sleep—like the voice of his own Mother t But ere the dusky cloak could de scend over him he heard his stiffer Rose calling to bins loudly: "Li onel! brother Lionel! where are you?" 230Pii 118 615 747 942 1010 .020 1143 1242 s It r,5 510 820 940 a 1 1042 135P* Bt3 533 610 635 828 950 1230 h a 303 , 660 - I a a•at Nfi - 2.

This, then, MIS the enchanted mantle of which she had sPokerp—this the effect of the spelt it had:, already begun to east over him. Even now he could scarcely shake it off; but summoning all his strength he rushed from the room, and fulthsd to find his sister, who sittiddiering on the door step; and there . *ere tears in her eyes. In his anxiety to comfort Rose,Llon el forgOtall about the dusky mantle. "What makes the Bea so gray and angry?' asked Rose tearfully; "why Is the wind Se cold? and where is our mother goner "The last r'saw of her," replied "she was 'standing on the furthest edgeof the sea, close by the sun; and I think she must be gone to him, so that whenever he shines we may know that she is smiling upon us. And then we shall not mind any more about•the cold wind and the angry sea." So Lionel took his little slater back into the cottage, and brought wood aad"balllt a warm fire in the fireplace; and the light danced and flickered al?out the room, playing all sorts of prank* with thechairsand tables and the orharnentsi on the mantleplece; and Rose and Lionel eat looking in to the s flre, her little hand resting In his. It seemed almost as if the sun shine ;had come back to them. -At last Lionel cried out: "See, Rose, in that red-hot coal is a perfect picture of the sea, and sun resting on it; and in the sun can you not see our mother's Awe smiling on us?" "Yes ! Yes !" cried Rose, clapping her little hands for joy; and now we need never feel the cold and darkness out of doors, for we can al ways have our mother's sunshine in the cottage!" So that night they both slept soundly, and Rose dream ed that the warm weather and soft winds had come back; all the more delightful for having been lost. But Lionel thought he was standing by his mother's chair, on which hung the enchanted mantle and wondering if the time had not yet come when he might put it on, Then he heard a voice milling him, and awakened with a start ; he saw Rose standing over him looking seared and puzzled. The ground, she said had become all white and soft, and oh ! so very cold; and the water had turned into a hard transparent stone, and the air was full of little, cold, white feathers, which were blown about so thickly that one could hardly see across the garden. So Lionel gave up all thought of the mantel for that day, and, spring ing out of bed, he kissed his sister good morning, and set to work to make things warm and pleasant for her io-doors. When he had kindled another roaring fire on the hearth, he put on his tallest boots and his warmest coat. and plunged boldly forth, into the cold,wh ite snow-storm. He gathered together all the sticks of wood he could find in the neighboring forest, brought them in great armfuls to the house, and piled them up un der the shed ‘ until there was enough to kat for many days to come. Then he took the spade and shoveled path ways all around the house, and out to the 15arn, for Rose to walk on, so that,when the evening came around agaie, everything about the cottage was quite comfortable and cheeful, and Bose declared she was almost as happy as before the winter bo4an.— ,AW again that night the children sat thandliPliand — Wore "the" blazing,' crackling fire; and as it fell gradually into glowing embers they fancied from time to time, they caught the glimpses of their mother's smile. At last, when the fire had died out, and Rose was sleeping quietly, Lionel stepped on tipLoe to his mother's rooru,opened the door, and looked in at the dusky mantel hanging on the chair. "Perhaps," he whispered to him self,' "I may be allowed to wear it to morrow." But even as he spoke he heard Rose turn uneasily in her bed, and, thought she murmered some thing in her sleep. So he closed the door with half a sigh, because he felt that he must wait yet longer ero the time should come. The snow lasted a long, long while until the children almost believed that the summer had been a dream, and there never had been anything else than ice and snow. The sky was almost alwayr covered with gray, heavy clouds, tvhich hid the sun; but In time thechildren grew fond even of the clouds, they looked down up on them so softly and tenderly, and piled themselves into such strange, fantastic shapes. And once In awhile when the day closed and the sun sank below the ocean; the. clouds would gather around them, all dres ed in the magnificent robes of crim son, gold and purple, and stood wait ing in solemn and superb array, un til he had disappeared, and the gor gebus vestments vanished with him. At such time Lionel's mind would revert, he knew ribt why, to the en chanted man tie in his mother's room, and he wondered whether it woula be transformed into splendid colors like the gloomy clouds. And some times he marveled that the sun should make these very clouds that st rove to obscure his beauty the means of making that beauty more grand and magnificent than it could other wise have been. then he would ask himself whether he would be able so to glorify the magic mantle when the time for him to wear it arrived. And often it would seem to him that he could no longer wait, he so longed to cover himself with the dark folds, and feel again the drowsy influence of the spell, and look once more up on his mother's face, But whenever the longing was most irresistible the voice of his sister Rose would come to:him, and something in his heart would whisper that his duty was not yet accomplished, and the mysteri oes mantle must still remain hang ing on his mother's chair. So the days went by, and the months, and gradually the years, and still the children lived together in thexottage. In their outward guise,to sure.they were children no longer, for Lionel . was tall strong and state ly", with deep, tender eyes, and grave, determined lips; and Rose was love lyd and graceful, with sweet, confid ing eyes and so ft brown hair. But ell this was outside; there was noth ing old about their hearts, and in each other's eyes they were children still. Rose always looked up to and trusted in her brother, as in the sum mer days so long ago ; and Lionel protected and cared for his little sis ter just as lovingly and tenderly as when they were first left alone to gether. And' because the time had never once come, in all these years, when he could say„ "Now all is done fort,her that Lean do, and there maiihing to prevent mygiving myself up;Ao the spell of the enchanted man tie." therefore it still remained un disturbed in his mother's room, and Many years had pessed since he had ever opened the door to look at it. But once in a while there would be a Whisper in his heart, "The time Is eeming,Lionel, wait and be patient!" It seemed to him like his mother's voice, and he would enter with re newed hope and courage upon anoth er day and year. Still the time went on and on ; and now the winter, which bad seemed so long, began to gradually pass away. The winds grew warmer and gentler; the heavy clouds broke up and floated about in Titanic forms; the sun came forth again, moregiori ous than of yore, and soon all the ARGUS. snow bad vanished, except that a lie tie of the pureit and whitest always rested on the heads of the boy, Lio nel and his sister Rose, sea memento of the long winter they had spent to gether in Ow cottage. As the sum mer eame on the evenings grew long er and more beautifitl. and the chil dren, instead of sitting in-doors by the fire, spent much of their time in the porch of the cottage, looking oat to the sea. Every evenieg there was a wonderful sunset, each , more per fect than the last; every evening, al so, appeared the vision of the golden path,extending from the island shore to the utmost brink of the sea; and when the sun sank down and rested a moment,all glowing, lain the water's edge, the children would gaze and wonder whether they should not now see their mother's 'face - looking at them. At last, one evening, there had been the most glerious sunset of all. The loveliest clouds In the heavens had collected together to see it, and each reflected and multiplied the splendor. The sea was calm, and • nted the wondrous plgture on its mso marvelously .sf ell that it was hard to decide whether the real ity or the copy were the better. The souls of the children,Weite filled with joy and love, and !bra long time they had been sitting beside each other, very silent, but hand In hand as ev er. So long did the silence last that fi nally Lionel roused himself from his reverie and pressed hie sister's bud. When s did not return the pres sure or ve, he thought she must be aster . and spoke to her gently, ?I fearing to awaken her too suddenly. But she slept on, and did not answer him. Then he looked in her fact; it was all rosy and glorified with the parting splendor of the sun. and In the shifting light a sweet and happy smile seemed to play about her mouth. A great and solemn awe fell upon Lionel's heart, for ho knew that the beautiful and reverened fig ure in the chair was nothing but the image of the sister he had loved so long and faithfully. But turning his head he gazed at the brightness across the sea, and in the best of it he saw his mother's face, and beside it another, which was Rose's, only fair er and lovelier than it had ever been before. They both smiled radiently upon him, and so faded impercepti bly away. So therea ft er Lionel lived alone in the cottage, The hours passed slow ly now, for he bad no longer any sis ter to labor for and protect, and the purpose of his life seemed to have de parted with her. He sat often in the shadow of the cottage porch, where the sea-breze lifted his long white hair, and looked wistfully out across the mighty sea. One day as he was sitting, his head resting on his hand, and lost in thought, he was conscious once more of the mysterious whisper in his heart. But now instead of bidding wait and be patient, It repeated soft ly, over and over again, "The time has come Lionel ! the time has come !" And he knew that now, at last, it was permitted him to put on the enchanted mantle. He felt, too that never in all his life had he need ed it so much as now. Faithfully had he fnifilledthe task which had been given him to do. He had re sisted to the end the selfish fascina tion of the spell; he had grown weak and weary with the lapse of years; and what now remained but to wrap the dark inscrutable mantle around him and satis, f y the life keg yea rn ing °this soul r .Thelong4ehlyed -prom ise of his mother would be at last fulfilled; he would see her bright and smiling, in the place whitlier she had gone ; and surely Rose, his sweet and gentle sister would be with her there. So he went to the long-closed door and threw it open. Involuntarily he shaded hid eyes with his hand, so penetrating was the soft radiance lia& filled the chamber. There lay the magic mantle, but dusky and sad no longer. It was all one glory of rain bow tinted stars that shone and twink led with a tender luster. As Lionel's eyes becarnekaccustom ed to their light he saw that every star contained a picture in its heart, and that it was the picture which gave the brightness to thestar. And every picture represented some occasion in his life when he had conquered his desire of wearing the mantle that he might give some help or encourage ment to his little sister . It was his own life, weary and cold though he had sometimes thougt it, which had so transfigured and illuminated the enchanted mantel as to dazzle even Lionel himself. He approached, lifted It from the chair, and drew it around his majes tic figure. As he did so a peace and happiness of purity and depth un speakable seemed to well up from within and reinvigorate his soul. A joyful light was In his eyes as he steped forth for the last time on to the cottage porch. He beheld the sun once again stooping to the sea, which lay breath lessly awaiting him, and across its bosom he saw the gul den patlx.which seemed to invite him onward. And onward he went, with a great hope increasing in his heart. And now he descried two shining figures advancing down the dazzling way to meet him. Nearer and nearer they mme,growing more marvelous lybeaut fu I at every step;but,in spite of the brightness, Lionel needed not to shade his eyes, for he himself was well-nigh as resplendent as they. As they approached they held out to him their beautiful white hands, and each took one of his, and kissed him ou the forehead and the eyes. So they all three went up the golden road to gether—his mother and` his sister on either side, and Lionel between them, and as they drew near the end of the pathway Lionel heard a grand and mighty sound of singing, which seemed to come from afar beyond the sea. Then he stood upon the utter most brink and looked forward •, and the glory of the vision was, unuttera ble; but wbat the vision was no liv ing man can tell. On the morning of the election the N. Y. Sun contained the following: Three seperate gangs of repeaters have gone from this city to Philadel phia to vote in the election.

She sat in the bright little parlor, close beside the lace.cmrtained win dow, watching for the loved hus band's return; and then, when she heard the click of the latch-key in the hall, flew for the welcome kiss. "Ilavn't you got the letter this time, George? I've felt sure of it all day. Indeed, I've quite decided what dresses to take with me. He smiled and shook his head.

But her husband's face looked very grave and stern, and his eyes looked angry when she looked gleefully over the envelope. "My dear, you must remember I care very little for what the letter con tains, Remember, I did not write it; that you are dearer to me than ever before. Kiss me, first, while I watch you." A little pang of misdoubt troubled her when she glanced over the note; then tears stole from under her lash es, and George saw her tender mouth quiver and tremble; then, when she had fi nished it, she laid her head down on his shoulder and cried. '•lt was crugi to let you see It, my wounded birdie. Let me burn it. And don't forget, darling, what the Bible says, that a man shall leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife. You are my precious wife, Marion, and toyou I turn for all the happiness my life will over hold." He dried her tears, and then they talked it over. "Just because I am city bred, she thinks I am lazy and haughty, and dainty, and—" "Never mind, Marion. She will find out some day. My father—" "Yes, bless the dear old man!

A fortnight after that Marion Cle ments ate her breakfast alone, the traces of a tear or so on her pink cheek ; then she dashed them away with a merry, joyous little laubh.
