'I hone that you're coine tt remain at home this morning,' Dora said, in a soft, cwaxing tone, that well became her pelilc figure and blonde haired, girlish beauty 'Do you know, Austin, that you have not painted an atom of canvas this week? There your new picture of Anthony and Cleopa tra' 'Yes, my love,' the young arli-t interrupt ed, 'I plead guilty to having shamefully neirlected Anthony and Cleopatra ; but this morning's engagement will not occupy much time, and I shall bo homo in an hour, I trust ready to begin work.

Was ever woman so blessed? she inur mured presently, as if asking the question of her own heart. 'Three years to-morrow since we were married, and slill the same devoted love from dear Melville. How foolish I was ever to dream that his worldly succe-ses would cool the ardor ot that love I Nothing can ever change him noth ng.' 'Tho young woman ha-t called ma'am, and is now wailing outside. Shall I show her iuto Mr. Austin's studio?' Dora's meditations had been abruptly broken by the voice of the stately butler, who stood at her elbow. Oh ! you mean Mr. Austin's model?' she said a liltle confusedly. 'Yes, James, I be lieve your master wishes her to wait in the studio til! his return. I!y the way, James you may manage to let her pass through this room, l wish to see her. The man bowed and departed to execute Mrs. Austin's order, returning presently, fol lowed by a poorly clad wnmaii,of whose face Dora merely caught n momentary glimpso as she hurried towards- the adjoining stu dio. 'How beautilul !' tho young wife murmur ed ; 'and what a faco for Cleopatra. She teemed auxiou-t to escf.po ray notice, poor woman ! I wonder if she is ashamed of her vocation? You told her, James, did you not' addressing the butler, who returned at thls moment 'that Mr. Austin would re turn very shortly ?' 'Yes, ma'am.' James was not absent from tho breakfast room five minutes befnro he again made bis appearance) there. A rather shabby man desired to see Mrs, Austin. Should he ad mit him t Hut the ceremonious hutler had scarcely finished speaking when a gruir voice sound ed from the entrance of tho room, A rough-looklng, beivlly bearJed man was standing on tho throshholdj directly op- poslle tn Doia who was seated near one of the window. 'You may go, my good fellow,' tho man paid. 'I havo particular buslntu with Mm. Atiitln.' 'Yes .lames you may go.' The words were gasped forth tomchow from Dora.s while lips. If the servant ob served the agitation which had suddenly overpowered Ids mistress, he wai too well trained to maniftst tho least rurnrfoe, and quietly withdrew from the room, closing the door nfter him. 'Oh, heaven I U it you, Mark Dillon ? I thought you dead I ' She had rUcn while t-ptaklnp the above vords, but the hone whisper In which sho uttered them died to filence before she had finished, and Dora Austin fell heavily for ward in a dead swoon nt the stranger's feet. The sound of her fall wai quickly follow ed by that of an opening door at the further end of the room, as Mr. Austin's model, wealing a startled look on her beautiful face hurried in from the adjoining studio. I!ut the stranger's bark was turned to her as lie bent over the prostrate figure of Dora. Nor was lie aware of Ihe woman's presence iu the apartment until she touched him lightly on the shoulder, and Iu a rather tim id voice 'aid, 'Is the lady ill, sir ?

When the studio door had closed behind the woman's retreating steps, Mark Dillon once more bent over the white face of Dora Aus tin. A faint shiver convulsed ber frame at this moment, and while his gaze was eagerly fastened upon her countenance, the slken lashes slowly lifted themselves from her e v es. Then it was no dream,' she murmured hor-ely, ri'ing from ber fallen posture, as sisteil by tho man she addressed. 'You have come,' she presently continued, 'to reveal all to to Melville Austin.'

Hut Mark Dillion started back with amaze ment, as Dora answered him, calmly, scorn-1 fully, and deciively,in the following word-: "I shall not deceive the man to whom I owe all the happiness I have ever enjoyed in this world the man whom I love, honor and reverence as only a nature like Melville Aus tin's is worthy of being regarded. When I married him, Mark Dillon, I acted upon my firm conviction of your death. Now, I know myself to have been In error, and a single course remains to m". Iho instant that .Melville Ait-tin returns home, I shall inform him of the truth.'

'Your game was a bold one, but it pioved a failure. Ah, my husband I Melville All-tin had suddenly entered the apartment. Ulancing at the astieu-pale countenance nf Dora, a look uf amazement overspread his own, Then turning towards the stranger, who stood beside the chair in which she was seated, Mr. Austin said, 'It strikes me that I heard your voice raised in rather a disrespectfully loud tone, as I stood in the hall a moment ago.

Staring first nt his wife, and then nt the moody, creastiallcn man beside her, his lace expressed the keenest intensity of mental sulfering. And now the Icy calmness with which Dora had spoken melted to n passion of s .bs. Stealing towards her husband's side, sho murmured, brokenly . Mljforo we part, Melville, say that you forgiye me for being thecause. of so much future wretchedness for having brought to your noble heart a sorrow it has sj little deserved. 'Part, Dora ?

At the same In.tant, the door of tho studio was suddenly unclosed, and a woman's vnico cried out in clear, ringing tones: '.Mark Dillon lies, Mrs. Austin, when ho dares In call himself your hus'iand I I wronged, deceived, out raged as I have been, am none tho loss his lawfully wedded wife, married to him seven years ago in Manchester.

Vnd from the house, too, never entering it again, An hour afterwards his wife, Ll len Dillon, followed him against the earnest entreaty of Melville and Dora 'He will beat me when I return to him, perhaps,' she said, with a mournful smile on her exquisite face, 'but I must go, neverthe less.

Her sad words left Dota and Melville grave and thoughtful for a long time after her deperturo. 'The woman loves him, Melville,' the wife murmured at last, in slow, mueitig tones 'loves him in spite of all his villain ous treatment. What a marvelous mystery love is I' 'Marvelous, indeed, Dora V' 'Did you really mean, Melville, that noth ing should part us not even the knowledge of being another's wife when you spoke so passionately just before Ellen Dillon entered from the studio ? Her soft hand had stolen into his, her tearful eyes were fixed upon his own, with eager questioning in their blue depths, Melville Austin's answer was spoken with unhesitating fondness : 'I meant that, if all the world bad striven to separete us, Dora, I should have struggled to regain you.

It has often been said that nothing helps so much n steady young man us tho lieing en gaged to the girl whom ho loves and for whom ho vows to prcparo a suitablo home. The solicitude of David Coppcrficld's friend, Ttaddles, to buy hits of furniture, llowcr nots and such like for the houso where he and his betrothed were to dwell was a pretty thing and much to be commended; but ou the other hau l it is undeniable that long en gagements have their drawbacks, especially if the young people, see much of each oilier t'ur'JK ''10 I'Ofiotl of probation In tins case much of the bloom is taken off the poetry of courtship, and no less gilding off tho pros pects of marriage. Thero may bo a great deal to say against tho policy of wedding in haste, but young people who lake each other for better or for worse, in all the illusion of mutual trust and admiration, go through a timo of cesta.y unknown to those who marry quite rationally. The honeymoons of such pairs are halcyon epochs to bo remembered a life long, and if tho allcr period seem dull and loveless by comparison, yet it is something to have lied for however brief a time up to the highest ideal of felicity. He- sides, theio is no little sweetness in having faced the first hardships of life together I It a young couple have to encounter pocriy, and if they conquer it side by side, lightening all their labors by sharing them and dimin ishing their troubles by mutual consolation and engagement, they forge links which must bind llieir hearts closer and closer together. I like to fcce a smug young man stacking up money in a bank against tils wedding day, while his future wife looks on complacently at the operation, as who should say, Thomas must cam a good many more pounds before bo can furnish a hout.e good enough to lodge mc . but 1 like still more to see a J'oung hus band and wife who have feathered their little nest together. It is pleasant to hear a smil ing woman remark : ' Wo had nothing at all when we married ; but see now how ctsy we have made our house.' This means lhat there has been cheerful hard work on the one side, thrift and self denial on the other in fact,uuion. After all, the yoke of marriage is an apparatus that should sit on two pairs of shoulders ; and thero is nothiog very seem ingly in seeing a girl wait to wear her own part of it until it has been nicely padded with quilted satin. My advice to young people who must pass throucfh long engagements is to seo as little of each other as possible, and likewise to cor respond sparingly. Quarrels are easily hatch ed, even on paper, and they aro a'inost sure to rise if an exchange of love-letters bo com menced at the dangerous rate of one a day, or week. This pace is too fast to last. I should say that one letter a fortnight was am ple. If thiswise abstemiousness from the Uioofpcuand ink be tried; if tho loving pair see each other but two or three times a year at Christmas, at Easter, for perhaps half a week during the summer ; and if, dur ing their separation, they remind one anoth er prettily ot their reciprocal aiiection by gifts of flowers, trinkets, nicely hemmed pocket handkerchiefs and well worked slip pers in worsted, then tho rocky time of a long engagement may possibly bo sailed through without accident. Nevertheless, all this leads up to repeating that, when young people have made up their minds to marry, the sooner they do so tho better. Ijmdon Truth.

The secretary of war has sent to the senate tho reports of several surveys for improve ments ordered by the river and harbor bill of 1S79. Atuoug these surveys was one of the Susquehanna river. The river and harbor bill of 1879 provided for an examination of the North Itranch of the Susquehanna riv er, irom Wilkesbarre to tlio New lork slate line, iu order to discover how much it would cost to make the channel of this part of the stream two feet deep at mean low water for tho purposes of steam navigation. Colonel J. A. Macomb, of tho corps of cnginecrs.was placed in chargo of this work by the war de partment, and bo placed it in the hands of James Worrall, a civil engineer. Mr. Wor ,a)l has not confined his labors to a survey of tho proposed improvement iu the Puxiuehan- ua, but has presented in his report, submit- . ted tn the senate, an elaborate scheme for estaMi-hing canal navigation between the Kreat akes and llaltitnore. and diverting wes- tern freight from New York to southern ports.

Tho great national highway which ho pro- noses to have established by the government is to bo as follows : From liull'alo, by the way of tho Erie canal, 150 miles, to Monte- zums ; then from Montezums, by Seneca lake I and the Chemung canal, tn 1-Jmira ; then, by the Chemung and the valley of the North Branch of the Su-quchauna, to Northuuiber land, am) then to Havre do Grace, at the mouth ol the Su-quehanna. Uo would have the locks of the Erie eularged, so that boats of 280 tons could pass, and would havo the remainder of the route made to accommodate boats of this s'.j Eighty or uiuety locks would be needed on the new route The cost of this national highway he modestly plac-s at ij.OOO.uuj, just one hundred times the sum needed for the work ho was instructed to report upon, Of this sum $-0,750,000 would bo speut from llavio de Grace to tho mouth of the Juniata ; neatly S4,(HW,000 from ibis point to Northumberland to tho mouth ofthe Chemug , fiom this point to Seneca Lake to llufl'alo, ihrough Montezuma, -2,000,000, Additiotis fur various purposes raiso tho cost to tho total giveu aboe.

As a rule every letter, unless insulting in its character, requires an answer. To neglect to answer a letter when written to, is as un civil as to neglect a reply when spoken to. In the reply acknowledge first the receipt of the letter, mentioning the date nnd after wards consider all the points requiring atten tion. If the letter is to bo very brief, commenco sufficiently far from tlio top of tho pago to give a narly equal amount of blank paper at the bottom of the sheet when tho letter is eLil d. Should the matter in the letter continue bevond tho first page, it is well to commence a little above the sheet, extending as tar as necessaiy on the olhcr pages. It is thought improper to use a half-sheet of paper iu formal letters. As a matter of economy and o nveni"ti('o for business pur poses, however, it is customary to have the card of the business man printed at the top of the sheet, and a single leaf is used. In writing a letter, tho answer lo which is of inoie benefit to yourself than the person to whom you write, inclose a pistago stamp for the reply.
