Her father and mother approved, and everything went on as smoothly and sweetly asStewart's syrup. His prospects were good, and she was of a suitable age to know her own mind. It was commonly re ported that they were engaged. It is never safe to believe reports. They were not engaged. though they both adored the mime things. However, if they were not engaged, there was every prospect that they would be, if nothing happened. Why not? lie was to be a partner soon, and could support tier properly. Some thing did happen. The firm wound up, as we have seen. Under these unhappy circumstan ces, what ought he to do? He could not even think. He was absolutely without means of support, and the engagement should be broken off. Engagement! They were not en gaged. Yes, they were. Had she not accepted flowers from him; had she not gone to the Sunday school concert with him: had they not "sat up" ever so late after everybody had gone to bed, at least a dozen times? Had not her mother invited him to tea, and had not her•father taken off his hat to him in the street? He was the recognized suitor for the daugh- : ter's hand, and something ought to he done about it. Under his present circumstances, he ought not to be engaged to her— he was not: and yet It was a delicate question. To solve it was a sad trial to him. He slept upon it, and awoke the next day to find that the trial had made a man of him. Trials al ways buin away the cheap surface, and bring out the gold within. He had not told his love. They were not engaged. Still, he had shown her great attentions, and his advances had been received cordially. Under his present circumstances, chivalry and honor forbade further advance. He must cease to visit her. He must leave her free—open to more advantageous offers. He must leave her forever and forget her. - .1. notice. I hope anthao No; ho could not do that. He could go out west and begin life anew; but forget her. Forget her! No ! He could' not—could not. And here he made a discovery. He lov ed her. With all her apparent shal lowness she was a splendid girl at heart, and he loved her, and must leave her. And how could he ex plain or tell her how it was with him ? How could he ask her to wait— wait for him—perhaps for years. Wait while he searched for a clerk ship, that, when obtained would not support them both. Her father was a man of business, and possessed of some wealth. What would he say to such folly. Surprised at the sudden strength of character his trouble had develop ed, he took a manly stand r and re solved he would call on her, bid her farewell, and leave her with his love unsaid. He would suffer alone. Perhaps time could cure the smart. People said it would, though he did not believe it then. Come what might, he would stand no longer in a false position. He would see her at once. Not without a furtive tear or two. he arrayed himself in his best and went out in search of breakfast. How ill seeming his present wardrobe and his poverty. He must leave his costly lodging place at once. He would begin to economize immedi ately by buying a cheap breakfast at some restaurant. It was a sad-meal; the wretched food and dismal Saloon wearied him, and somehow the bread was salt. He crept into a dark corner and rumpled his damp nap kin In a vain effort to be cheerful. Then he went out at the strange hour of ten in the morning to fled her home. The streets were full of people hurrylogon and on to their business or pleasure. For him there was neither. He had never been in the streets at that hoar, and they seemed strange and foreign. Her ffMMEMIE ra a ..

She was a shallow, heartless thing, unworthy of his love, and he fell to thinking how he had been deceived. She sat the while in calm silence, toying with her feather duster, and inwardly harnessed by a storm of conflicting emotions. Love, doubt, sorrow, and a great happiness strug gled for expression.

And yet he ought not to leave her with out an explanation. An explana tion would be an avowal—a propos al. Now what should he do? With feminine perversity, she avoided the question by asking an other. "Does she love him?" "I do not know." With a sudden impulse, she said "Has be told her?" He was quite disconcerted by the bold thrust, and was silent. She held her hand over her mouth to keep her face smooth. Tears and a great joy struggled to reach the sur face. "How can I tell—yet ----" Here he looked her full in the face. Their eyes met, and he said slowly: "I think he has." She rose abrubtly, and began to dust the hooks on the table. The fight in her heart waxed hot. Love and maidenly reserve struggled for the mastery. He, with a curious blindness. mistook it all, and think ing her the most mercenary and heartless girl he had ever met, rose, took his hat, and said he must go. She turned upon him quickly.

Row they shall be best fitted to fill the various stations - to which' the fu tare may call them, is, or ought to be, the query in every mother's mind. In our country, all are sub ject to reverses id their social position, as well as in political life, and the daughter of the wealthy merchant of to-day is very liable, is a few years, to be the hard-working wife of a pour man. Mr. Stanley was a wealthy gentle man, who had, by. his own economy and enterprise, reached a position that rendered him independent. His wife was a person of good prac-, tical sense, and had sufficient decis ion of character to enable her, when she knew the right Way_, to pursue it, without fear of the•world's approval or censure. She was trained in a farmhouse, and understood ail the departments of housewifery, and her husband often remarked that his prosperity was owing as much to his wife's management as to his own shrewd calculations. They had a large family of children, who were trained as well as Mrs. Stanley could do it under,existing circumstances. Three of these children were daugh ters, the eldest of whom was four teen years of age, a very intelligent young lady, with a large share of personal beauty in both form and feature. Mr. Whitcomb and his family were next-door neighbors to Mr. Stanley, and of course In a country village, they often exchanged calls and visits. Mrs. Whitcomb was not a happy wo man; her husband did not get along well. Ile was always in debt, and straightened; but his wife was am bitious,lind sometimes heavy storms broke over their domestic life, which certainly did not have a desirable etTectin clearing the atmosphere.

"But we have such a splendid school this summer, and all the girls attend-. Besides, there are the les sons in drawing, painting and French! Why! Abbie would not stay at home any way; money would not hire her to be out a single day. It is a great chance for girls." "I should be sorry to have Ella set up her will in opposition to her mother; but she thinks I know what is best for her." "But don't She feel dreadful not to go to school?" "On the contrary, she is happy about it, and is anticipating much pleasure in the domestic department. I have promised to Instruct her in the science of cooking this summer. "Bless me! Set a girl only four teen years old to cooking! What does Ella say to that? I should think she would think it rather hard for one so young." "Why, Mrs. Whitcomb, when I was thirteen years of age. I did all the work in my father's family four weeks, and took care of my sick mother too, and it did not hurt me, but was better than a whole term at school, to give me selfreliance, and exercise my judgment." "But the times are altered now; nobody thinks of making the daugh ters do housework now-a-days. Time enough for girls to work when they are obliged to do it." "I know no reason why It is not as I necessary for girls to understand work now as when we were young. True, many kinds of work are not neeeful which were a necessity then; ‘ but housework is always in demand, and I should feel as if I were very neglectful if I did not myself instruct my daughters in that science. Be sides, I consider it my privilege, as well as duty." "Who ever heard 'such a thing! You will dismiss your help next, and you and Ella do all the work of your largo family, besides the care of the b a t iy ll "Exactly what we have done, Mrs. Whitcomb. since the Ist of May, and we find it delightful to be so inde pendant—we enjoy it exceedingly." "Why, I did not know your girl was gone. The day I visited here, I remember I did not see her, but sup posed she was engaged in the kitch en. You did not leave the parlor to get tea?" "No, Ella prepared tea. She made the cake and biscuits that you prais ed so highly." "Goodness! My Abble never set the table alone in her life! But Ella must have a natural genius for such employments. Girls are so different! Now, Abble is all for books. Her father says she ought to learn to work, but I cannot be troubled with her around in the way." "I think it a positive duty to edu cate children in such a manner that they can fill any station of life to which they may be called; and a good knowledge of housewifery nev er comes amiss to a lady, be she rich or poor." "Well, I hope my Abbie will nev er be obliged to be such a kitchen drudge as I have always been!" "I never Imagined, Mrs. W bit comb that you had a hard lot in life. You never had but two children; your health is excellent; you always have hired two in your kitchen; dud your husbands business calls him from home a large share of the time." i•Do you think I have so easy a time? Why, where are your eyes? That Is just like Mr. Whitcomb—he never thinks I have anything to do! I do not believe there Is a woman in town who works harder than I do. It Is so much work to keep up a proper style, and one may as well be out of the world as out of the fashion!

They must, marry rich husbands, so they will not have to work. Did I tell you that Mr. Whitcoinb bad hired a pi ano for Abble? He says he cannot afford to buy one, and I am determ ined she shall learn music. No one thinks of educating a girl now-a-days without the piano. Ella has such a splendid voice—you will have her learn, of course." "Mr. Stanley and myself have dis cussed the question, and we have not yet determined. Ydo not think it the mast important branch of educa tion. It renders home pleasant, and we are all very fond of music; but it requires a great deal of time to oe come a thorough musician as well as expense. I should wish Ella to be come a proficient in the business if she engaged." "I never expect Addie to do more than learn a few songs and waltzes, just to be able to say she can play. I do not see the need of anything more. She will never teach music of course. I think in a year or so she will be able to learn enough to show off in company." " Are you not fond of music at borne ?" "I do not ore anything for it. Wby, Mrs. Stanley, I took music 16ssons a whole year when I was a girl, and I declare I cannot tell one key from 'another.

Mrs. Whitcomb was in ecstacies over the nice cus tards and tea cakes made by Ella's deft little fingers, and she could not but notice the order and harmony of her neighbor's household arrange ments; but it produced no impres sion sufficiently abiding to effect any reformation in her own domain, and the years glided by till Abbie Whit comb, at the age of seventeen, left school, as her mother said, having finished her education. Of busing she was perfectly ignorant—could not even set her room to rights, or darn a stocking. She could play waltzes and polkas, speak French— though with a very questionable pronunciation— and dress beautifully. Her mother grumbled because she would give her no assistance, and Mr. Whitcomb sighed over her ex travagance; but Abbie said it was plenty of time for her to work when she wits obliged to. Finally she eloped with an employee of a Boston firm who had occasionally spent a few days in the village selling goods. Every arrangement was made in style, and Mrs. Whitcomb had the satisfaction of knowing that if she was nearly heartbroken, it was done in the latest fashion. Two years la ter, the poor eirt returned to her father's house a deserted wife, with a worse than fatherless babe in her arms, to be an additional burden to the sorely tried parents. Mr. Whit comb told his daughter she was wel come to his home, both she and the little one; "but Abbie, the time has come when you will be obliged to work for a living. lam a poor man. When I was married I had $lO,OOO. I have always worked hard myself, but to-day I have not a dollar in the world, except this house and lot, and that is heavily mortgaged." Ella Stanley, at 19 years of age, was a lovely specimen of woman hood. She did not play on . the pi ano, but her merry, bird-like voice filled the dear old home with her merry carols. She had a good edu cation in books, and a practical ap plication of their use. She is_a per fect housekeeper, an expert needle woman and a most valuable assistant to her mother, who considers her as almost her right hand. Her broth ers and sisters go to her for advice and assistance, and it will be a sor rowful day to the whole family when the eldest daughter leaves the home nest to become mistress of the splen did dwelling which the owner of the mill is building for abridal gift to his son's wife. Mrs. Whitcomb sighed as she exclaimed, "There Ella Stan ley is going to make the best match in the State; she never need to lift her finger to work all day long, and my Abbey was brought up a lady, and never had to work ! Just ses the difference !" thuntry Gentle man. _...., ...- TILE MASKED' LADY. It was the Carnival season in Paris; and Colonel Eugvno Merville, au attache of the great Napoleon's staff. who had won is way to distinction with his own sabre, found himself at the masked ball in the French Opera House. Better adapted in his tastes to the field than the parlor, he flirted but little with the gay figures that covered the fluor, and joined but sel dom in the giddy. waltz. But at last, while standing thoughtfully, and re garding the assembled throng with a vacant eye, his attention was sudden ly aroused by the appearance of a person in a white satin domino, the universal eligancy of whose figure. manner, arid bearing, convinced all thather face and mind must be equal to her person in grace and loveliness. Though in so mixed '.an assembly, still there was a dignity and reserve in the manner of the white domino that rather repulsed the idea of a fa miliar address, and it was some time before the young soldier found cour age to speak to her.

But there was no cause for fear since he soon found, the vehicle stop; and he was led, blindfolded, into the house.

But his heart Is not made of stone. The very fact that he had entertained such tender feelings for the white domino, had doubtless made him more susceptible than before.
