Sometimes, when ho talked to her, she wouiti look up into his faco with a wondering, reverential expression in her mournful eyes, and then I was more proud than ever of his talents, and more than ever thankful that ho was my promised husband. At lirst, when I sent Stephen from me to talk to Annie, he went with re- gret ; a little while, and there was no regret : and then, oh 1 woeful thought, I fancied he went with pleasure. Once, as he sat by her. chattinrr and amusing her, I thought he looked liko her father, and I moturod him in thn future adapting his conversion to tho intelligence of a littlo child who should call mo mother, and bringing blight smiles into her face and overshadowing her with loving kindness and protec tion : and my heart grew warmer, and I loved him more fervently than over uotore. And, as watching him, I withod that my lovo miuht crow as great as his goodness he caught my eyes and his faco colored. A chill ran through mo ; a fear, in definite but terrible, oppressed tne.

I know that I hail been jealous and I scorned mvself : yet I was such a poor, weak thing tnai. i must, ireat, myseit caretuliy, tenderly, lest I fall again into my past foolishness. I sat by the pool looking into its waters. I pressed tho green leaves of tho water lily against my forehead and its gracious coolness made mo more myself, and I looked still into tho water, bluo with tho evening sky and rosy with sunlit cloud, mid I felt that hopo and happiness endured forever: grief might come and dim their bright ness, but could do no more. I felt the demon of jealousy had en tered into me ; I was humbled and ashamed, and I longed that evil thoughts might pass from me, and I grew calm and rational oneo more. Tho peace of night settled all around me. An odorous perfume filled tho air, nnd darkness camo down ,sku a protecting genius, plirouduig tho earth softly. I was nt rest. Tlio fear that hail so strangely disturbed mo was dead, Mid nnco again I believed that the lovo of my promised husband was all my own. For somu days Stephen kept nlways by my side, and I enjoyed "gain tho long conversations that wero so de- lightful to me, mid tho evil thought returned no morn mj uisiui ii my peace. Our wedding day was very near; nil suitablo preparations had been mado fair, now garments of overy description were being inspected by my friends. I was to begin tho now life with everything now new clothes, new house, new happiuo-is. Annie relapsed into hor old sadness, nnd grew day by day nnro beautiful, for her fuoo'was flushed a little, and there was iiiounifiilness in her largo oyes that touched tho gazer's heart.

I supposo tho first terriblo Bhock had brokon the forco of my discovery, for tho calamity nffocted mo less se verely than the doubt. I was rational now, and could understand my posi tion.

My own affection was my greatest danger. 1 felt I must show no relent ing no liniering tenderness.

The sun slums, the birds sang, tho water spark ledall aiouud me was joy nnd beauty, and in my heart was a desolation as of death. I had dreamed a beautiful dream. Oh, that I could dream a littlo longer my awakening was all too soon. I lay still, wooing back tho beautiful dream ; but its thread had boon broken. I was sad unto bitterness, but my will was strong to do right and to bear my griei silently. It wanted four days to my wedding day. I must act promptly. I nerved myself to my great trial. I loved Stephen more than ever, and I felt that to make him happy I could lay down my life, or, what then seemed to bo the harder fate, live without his lovo. As I left tho breakfast room mother said: "Como back soon, dear ; this day .....i. ..... i.ii i. ..... . ' .vuuiv nu Buiiu uu wiinouL you, so we want as much of your comnanv as nos. Bible."

I spoke to him ns a Mason, and ho responded in an appropriate manner. This is ono advantage of pre senting a breastpin, ring, or other badge having our mystical characters upon it, that tho wearer claims to bo a Mason, and challenges your approach. When opportunity offers, I always greet such nu one ns a Brother, nnd often mako pleasant and valuablo ac quaintances thereby. In the case men tioned, I told tho stranger who I was, and in reply, he told mo that my namo and Masonic labors were familiar to him. This was a good enough opening between us, and I soon began to recall tne names ol JUnsous resident m tlic placo from which ho hailed. lie knew them nil : knew who were living, who had removed to other parts, who had taken the rcturnless path which all of us soon must tread. Ho know who wero tho present officers of tho Lodgo, aud could oven tell mo who were the subscribers among bis feilow-mcmbors to tho Masonic Reviow indeed ho left no doubt upon my mind of his inden tity. JJ'it when I asked him relative to a larticnlar friend of mino among those Masons, "Brother II is a swindlor. Ho owes mo a bill, and I havo had to sue him. Ho won't pay an honest debt. Ho ought to bo expelled.'' Gen tly I eluded him, "that it was wrong to speak in that way of a Urother ; that tho good name of a Mason is a precious possession, and that our obli gations bind us closely to cherish each other's fair fame " Hut the more bit terly ho fulminated his charges, and I was constrained to change the sub ject. Sj much was I exerciied over this matter that I felt constrained to write a confidential letter to another Uroth er living in the same place a minister in tho church to which I belong, nnd n prudent, careful mnn. I wrote him confidentially what I had heard so pub licly asserted (for half a dozen strang ers were within hearing), and asked him for a truo statement. He replied that there was not a word of truth in tho charges ; that the Brother's charac ter was spotless ; that ho was famed for promptness and honesty in bis deal ings, etc. Tho only ground for the malicious and acrimonious statements I have heard was that as a guardian of somo orphans lie had refused to pay an exorbitant bill until the Courts should pass upon its validity. After reading this letter, I fell into a fit of musing. It is possible, thought I. that my character is at the hazard of such men Shall a member of my Lodge, going from home and falling into casual conversation with a stran ger at a railroad station, havo in his power thus to blacken me and spread nbroad such false, cruel and calum nious statements ? It is so. The pow er for evil rests in the hands of the weak and wicked, nnd who Bhall stay the fire of scandal once put out into the meadows ol human society t Oh, ac cursed, thrico accursed tongue of sland er !

"And tho worst of this infection of slander is that it makes its "marks indel ibly upon the hearers mind. I can never again think of that good man, who was vilely slandered in my hearing, without some discount from my for mer exalted opinion of him.
