'I was young, I was fair, I had onco not a care, sang Hettina Iij'ons m a doleful tone. Yet you pined like a slave,' not by the sad sea wave exactly, but at tho old farm, broke in a merry voice. 'So I did, Clare, and I often wish my self back again.' 'What and leave all vour blight pros pects'?' it you mean visions ot tlie luturo as they present themselvo now, yes, if I could take up tho old, happy dreams of tlie past again. 'liut you cannot mako mo believe that you would forsake your brilliant prospects nnd return to tho hum drum life you quitted.' I would indeed, for I cannot even think of my brilliant future, as you term it, witliout a shudder. 'Come, girls, if you are going to tho fair it is timo you were dressed,' said Mrs. Chalmers, entering tho room where tho two cousins were seated. 'Aunt "Winnie, 1 wish you would leave mo home. L am not in tho mood for pleasuio to-day,' said Hettina. 4 did not brinir you hero to mope. You had plenty of timo for that in tho country. When you have secured your own comfoitablo homo you can mopo in it to vour heart's content, but not now.' Ono would think that securing a coinfortnblo homu was tlio end and aim of women's existence I am heartily tired of being preached to about settling in life, and to tell you ns I told you a hundred times before, Aunt Winnie, I will not marry for tho sake of a home. Mrs. Chalmers looked at her with se vere disapprobation. 1 gave you credit lor being areason- ablo woman, Hettina; not a wayward child,' sho said. 'Of course, I m wayward for claiming tho right to think tor myselt on the sub iect of matrimony.' J. hat will do, my dear: remain at homo nnd return to tho farm to-morrow if you choose; I havo no desiro to in- llueiice your conduct. Uome, (Jlare,you, at least; aro always ready to please me. les, auntie; 1 am quite prepared, and will only detain you whilol put on my bonnet and .gloves,' was tho prompt reply. isettina spent thoattcrnoou commun ins with her own thoughts, which were far from pleasant ones, 'I will bo true to my own lovo whatever may betide,' she was Hinging, when her aunt and cousin returned. 'Oh, Hot,' exclaimed tho latter when they were alone, 'wo had a lovely time, but Aunt "Winnie was disappointed, sho is so anxious about your future, you know. 'Now, Clare, hush; don't you begin a sermon. 1 get onoumi ot that trom auntie. J. have been questioning my heart this afternoon, and havo determin ed that no one shall pcrsuado mo to marry a man I do not lovo for tho sako of a comfortable home. What comfort could I find in sitting down by his fire- sido with longing regrets tor tlio pres ence of another f I would be actinc false to myself and falso to Mr. Wether, ils, and although I do not liko him ho deserves a better fato than that.' 'Hut if that other person doesn't care for youf '1 never said ho didn t care for me. aud Hettiua's eyes flashed resentfully. 'An ugly old cousin whom ho is pledged to marry stands between us, aud tho worst ot it is alio docsn t evei pretend to care for him. Their parents concoct ed the match when they were too young to understand anything about such mat ters. I' red would mvo up cvervthinir, friends, home, fortune, if I would coiif sent, but how can I when the failure of her pet schenio would break his lady mothers heart. Jly eominjr out of the allair heartbroken is of no consequence, tor l am only a poor mi l, who is expect ed to marry tho first man that offers a comfortable home.' 'Did you ever seo this cousin?' 'No,' replied Hettina, wiping her eves. Then how do you know she is old and ugly?' I know sho is older than 1' red, and I think sho must bo awful homely, else ho would havo learned to earo for her.' very logical conclusion,' laughed Clare. 'Perhaps tho assertion that sho does not lovo him is based on one.' 'Hut I am sure sho doesn't lovo him,1 interrupted tlio other eagerly, 'llow could sho hide it it sho did'i h red knew that I loved him long befoio wo talked about it, but you seo ho telt in honor bound to his cousin, nnd know it was not riuht to sneak of lovo to mo.' IIo ovidentiy overcamo his scruples,' observed Uiaro, 'Yes, after ho was perfectly eonvino cd that his cousin didn't care for him, Indeed sho told him so.' 'Under such circumstances, if she is a truo woman, sho would conceal her love, even though her heart wero break ing.' Uettinn looked quickly. 'Wero you ever in love, Claro?' sho asked. Claro Hushed a little. 'You don't sunnoso I would toll you, even if I wore! l no not nnnrovoot parntlinn suoh mat tors beforo tlio world.'

For a week or more after the events just related Hettina appeared to bo one of the most docile creatures imaginable, and Aunt Winnio and sho were again on tho most nmicablo terms, but Clare felt instinctively sho was plotting nm chitf. Ono day Mrs. Chalmers went to pay a long promised visit to a friend residing in the country. As soon ns she was gone tho voting girl dressed herself in a neat walk'ing costume and left tho houso. Claro did not miss her until sho had occasion to go to her room, whero she expected to find her, but found in- stead a note addressed to herself, which sho opened with trembling fingers and . I ri read: 'Dear Clare I fancy you will not bo astonished to learn that I havo gone to meet Fred. Everything is arranged, and wo will bo married in a fow hours. Aunt Winnio will bo furious, but will recover from tho shock more rapidly than I would from a broken heart if I had followed her advice. Will you pleaso tell Mr. Wetherill when lie cornea to-night?

Without waiting for a reply ho con tinued : 'Many years ago there was a young man a mero lad whom wo called Jack. Ho was a farmer's son, and poor. Near his father's placo lived a widow and her only child, Mary. Jack loved this littlo girl from her babyhood, aud when sho was fourteen and he nineteen tlio two promised to bo true to each other aslongas lifelasted. Shortly after ward Jack went out into tho world to try to niako a homo for tho child who had promised to bo his wife. Several lettors wero exchanged until Mary's mother discovered what was going on, and forbid her to write any more. About a year after their separation her mother died, and sho went to a distant city to reside with relatives. Jack did not hear of theso events until he returned to his old homo two years later. Then ho mado inquiries for his littlo love, but could gain no further tidiug.s of her. Several years passed and ho was success ful boyond even his boyish expectations. During this period he met many beauti ful women, but littlo Mary's image re fuses to leavo its shrino in his heart. Ono day ho saw a notico of her marriage. Then hopo died, but mem ory remained. As timo passed he becaino weary of his bachelor's life, and concluded to marry. Clianco threw him into the society of a young girl whoso unconventional manners proved a strong attraction, and in a short timo ho asked her to bo his wife. Ho thought tho re luctant air with which sho consented was duo to bashfiilness, but later on discovered that her heart belonged to some ono else. Then ho determined to question her closely regarding tho mal- wi, nun ii ... cuMjcciuies were true, to 'ivo her back her nromise. .Meantime 10 met a women wonderfully liko his lost love. Yet sho was not called Mary, nor tiui boo uear mo name ot mo man whom sho had married, aud, while bound to the young girl, ho could not ask for an explanation. At last ho found himself free, nnd Miss Clare, it rests with you to dceido how tho story of Jack's lovo shall end.1 A profound silence reigned for a fow moments, then Claro explained in a low, trembling voieo: 'Alter thu death of Mary's mother sho went to live with her father's broth or, whoso daughter was also named Mary Lamson. In order to avoid con. fusion Jack's Mary was called by her second name, Clare. It was Mary's cousin who married, but tlio orphan girl remained truo to her early love. And her constancy is at last reward ed, said ilv. Wetherill, drawing her to his breast. Sho laid hor head in a restful way on his shoulder, nnd thus Aunt Winnie found them when sho rctured in a great stato ot excitement, having received a i . . . . . telegram from Hettina announcing her marriage.

Proof of this is continually seen in this great army of ill mannered nnd demoralized young!ters, who might have been treasures of homo comfort nnd blessings to society nt largo had thoy not been spoiled in tho bringing up.

Thcro arc thousands of well- meaning children who neither swear, fight or destroy their parents' furnituro with axes and hammers, who novertho less, nro a nuisance to all who havo to cotno in contact with them. Many of these children havo been damaged in their infancy by parents, aunts nnd nurses, who told them they wero tho most wonderful children ever created and gave them to understand that in tho ages lo come thcro never would be an infant half so beautiful, so lovoly or so gifted.

Euleafor Beauty. Several months slnco a serial story, by Allan Muir, ran through tho Lon don Society, entitled "Lady Hcauty," don Societu, in which tho heroine laid down n nutn of rules to enable ladies all to bo beau tlful forever without enameling, paint ing or powdering themselves. Written by n beauty who, as sho herself admits, had become "an elderly lady whoought to bo thinking of other things," they carry an import that should not bo lost upon the class of inquircrs who seem only solicitous respecting their personal appearance. Tho rules aro printed for their especial benefit : llulo 1. A woman's power in tho world is measured by her power to please. Whatever sho may wish to accomplish she will bestjnauago it by pleasing. A woman's grand social aim should be to please, It is true, that Lady Hcauty states, that woman can pleaso tho cyo by her appearance, her face .and figure Sho cau pleaso the ear by the.art of graceful speaking. She can please tho minds of others by cultivating her own, and sho can please the fancy by her woman's wit, of which all women born havo a share. Sho can pleaso the heart by amiability. Uv i ruuning over theso qualities ii may uo seen now oiuuu . part of woman's power attaches to merely physical charms. This brings ns to Kulo 2. Modesty is theground on which all a woman's charms appear to tlie best advantage. In manners, dress, conversation, remember always that ... - -. . l : i : . . .... -1 i ii modestv must never bo forgotten. In connection with this rule ladies need not confound prudery with modes ty. They aro two distinctive charac teristics, "and also as widely separate as virtue and vice. Kulo 3. So the woman s aim is to pleaso, and modesty is the first princi pio.111 tho art ot.pieasing. Then follows a rule which Lady Hcauty deems very imporant, especially ladies who havo passed tho ago of 40. llulo 1. Always dress up to your ago or little beyond it. iiet your person bo the youngest thing about you, and not the oldest. It does not require genius to appro ciato tho force of this rule. One needs but to look about them to see tho effect of tho gewgaws only appropriate to blooming youth when worn by tho lactase belle. Rule 5. Hcmember that what women ad mil 0 in themselves Js. seldom what men admire in them. Kulo G. Women's beauties are seldom men's beuties. Certainly no sensible man will deny that vivacity and sprightliness are greatly enhanced by a vein of serious ness. A woman can readily gain tho appellation of "rattle-head," unless her wit and gayety are tempered with a certain amount of gravity. Perpetual mirth soon pales tho mo3t "ardent admir ation. Rule 8. Always speak low. 'Tis "an excellent thing in a woman,'' says Shakespeare. Rule 9. A plain woman can never be pretty. Sho can always be fascina ting if she takes pains. She who always tries to please will not fail to bo appreciated. We all know the plain woman who is so irre sistibly fascinating. She always says the light thing at the right time, and avoids rubbing tho nap of our self esteem the wrong way. She dors not piido herself on being plain spoken, and her kindness of heart prevents her from using her tongue as a cudgel io m bruise our sensitive points. II-r mis sion is to please, and she often out fas cinates the beauty who is unarmed with these powers. Rule 10, Every year a woman lives tho more pains' she should take with her dress. It is an almost invariable failing with women that year by year, as they find their youth slipping away from them, they become more and moro in different to tho matter of dress. They should not forget that their matronly charms are quite as enticing a3 those of gushing youth, and that proper a tcntion to appparel will enhance them in as great a degree. Rulo 1 1. In all things let a woman ask what will pleaso tho men of sense before sho asks what will please the men of fashion. Tho man of fashion is rarely a man of sense Ho is ns unreliable as the whims of the goddess whom ho wor ships, and 'is quilo as likely to chango his standard of what ho constitutes femalo beauty as often as lie changes the cut of coat or tho color of his cra vat. Tho man of senso is unwavering in his admiration of the woman of sense, and appreciates her power to please, oven if her faco bo plain nnd Iter figure lacking in grace outline. Moral Gems. "A word nily spoken, howfooitlt is." Eaithfullness and sincerity aro highest things. l'ilness for use as inedeoino is not fitness for diet. Adapt your food to your constitution and employment. From tho lowest depth there is a path to tho loitiest height. You can go up hill as fast ao you please, but go down hill slow. Manners require time, as nothing is moro vulgar than haste, History is neither moro nor less than biography on a largo scale. A sign of indigestion "Gone to din- uer. Ho back in live minutes.
