With a sick nnd aching head,
And nhc snld-thln cross llttlo woman
"I wonder why girls will wod 1
They wouldn't, I am suro, It thoy reckoned
Tho tilings that a wtfo must benr ;
Thoy novcr dono work ot n household,

"Six dozen pieces to wash to-day,
And tho children must go to school,
And every ono knows on washing days

And Bridget Is new to tho work yet.
(Oh, do ir, how my head doei acho ?)
Yet, I shall havo tho dinner to cook
And all ot tho bods to laako."

And when ho bid her "good-by,"

And tho coffco or kiss which was It J
Healed liked a magical charm ,
The spirit of diligent gladness

Tho mother forgot her pain,
Bridget did well with her washing,
There wasn't a drop of rain.

"Would do as much for a kiss."

With a husband's loving pride,
Thought much ot her full and pleasant home,
Ot her children asleep In bed j

SELECT STORY.
THE DIAMOND RING,
Liko a drop of dew it sparkled on
Cora Vane's slender forefinger, catch
ing tho slanting reflection of llio after
noon sunshine, as it every sunbeam
loved to linger within the crystal-hearted
jewel, as thu young girl sat there,
her lair head drooping hko a iny neii
and the lashes hanging low over her
flushed cheeks.
Cora Vane was very prettv, with a
delicate, retiring lovelines that you
noeded to study before you fairly ap
preciate it. Her hair was brown and
lustrous, like tho shining hiHfc ol an
October chestnut, aud the deep, hazel
eyes that exactly matched them in col
or, wero almond-shaped, aud full of
limped changing lights. And yet, with
all theso gifts ol nature, Cora Vane
had never" discovered that she was a
beautv.
"It's so strange that he loves me 1"
thought Corn, her Bcarlet lips half
apait, and tho sweetest dreamlike shad
ow of a smilo hovering about her
mouth, "lie, bo wealthy, ho high
born, so com ted in aristocratic circles,
where poor little 1 have never oeen ad
inilled. I should almost fancy the
whole thing to be a dream, if it were
not for this precious stono sparkling on
my linger 1
Anil then Uora Vane leaned her
cheek on her hand, and drifted oif once
more into tho delicious reveries that
come to thoso who havo set foot with
in the mystic temple of love !
It did seem not iinliko the phantas
mal outlines of a dream, when ono
came to look at it from a sobei, cvery-
lay point of view. Hero sho was, a
little, hardworking daily governors,
earning a modest livelihood by con
stant toil how could it bo that Alban
Carlesford, tho courted favorite of for
tune and fashion, should have learned
to lovu her should havo won her to
promise to bo his wife. And sho had
told hitiiso frankly and freely, thestory
of her humble life, even to the brief,
strange episode of Bruce Wayne's love
and proposals.
"Bruce Wayne ! Mr. Uarleatord had
repeated. "You do not mean tho
Bruce Wayne who was in tho Seventh
regiment at ono time T Why, i knew
him well."
"les," said uora mustang, "it was
Captain Wayne. He said ho loved me,
but ho was so ucrco and passionate
that I was afraid of him. Oh, Alban,
I never could havo felt toward him as I
did to you 1"
And Mr. Carlesford forgot tho inci
pient pang of jealously which had al
ready entered his heart concerning this
same handsome reckless young captain,
Bruco Wayne, and felt happy in tho
undoubted certainty that Cora was all
his own.
Coia Vano was secretly thinking of
all theso things tho next day, as sho
sat by little Bessie Maiden's piano
counting time for tho child's unused
fingers as thoy strayed regularly oyer
tho ivory Keys, lor corn had insisted
on duly fulfilling all het cugagemcutii
for the qnarter betoro sho would con
sent to As tho raarriago day, when tho
school-room door opened and Uaptain
It- 1 1 ! ,1.. -..
n ayno lounged miy in.
"Bessie'' ho snid to his little niece
'run and get my gold oye glass, that's
a little gem of n girl. Thoy'ro in ihfy
parlor or under my dressing tablo or
in your mamma's work-basket or some
where I"
And Bessie glad to bo released from
tho thraldom of tho pianoforte, slipped
down from her seat, and trotted inert
rily away.
Bruce Wayno sat down besido tho
daily governess, with a darkening look
of oaro unon his brow.
"Cora, 1 ho said most fiercely, "I am
in trouble, and there is uo one to help
mo save you.
"Help you! Captain Wayno, what
can you mean T
"Cora 1 must havo Si 00 betwuen
this and sundown, or I shall bo a ruined
disgraced man. 1 can t tell you how
it has happuncd you need not look so
inquiringly. Moreover, it is but a tern
porary need my allowance comes in
to-morrow j but you seo how it is to
day is tho period of necessity."
"But,'1 fnlturcd Cora, turning white
nim red. "lour uoroilior-in-law Mr,
Maldon "
"llo will not listen to a word -Ho
says and I cannot blamo htm much
that ho is tired of lending to me, and
my sister is just as bad P
"Surely your friends "
Ho contemplated hor with a mocking
laugh.
"i navo no menus i es, you may
loo k itmazcd, uora, mil it is tuo inelan
clioly truth. Sometimes," ho ndiloil,
with hitter emphasis, "It neoms to mo
that it would hohettur to end tho wholo

"(Japt,ain Wayne, you don't mean

with mo in this world, nnd I 8vear to
you, uemie nign Heaven, mat iiulegg I

His eyes ulitleied with afierco liuht.
and a deadly whiteocfs came round his
lips and brows.
"isui uaptain vvaync, now can 1

Hi' sneered bitterly.
it is easy lor you to say no, with
that jewel Biiarkliniron your forclitiuor;
but 1 understand you nro liko nil the

"Uh, Oaptaui Y ayne, Bobbed the

"Knt, Captain Vayne "
Cora turned palo and scarlet, and
hesitated ; how could she tell him, her
rejected lover ot the past, that tho dia-
mood was the betrothal gift of Alban
uariestord 7
"It is enough," ho said huskily, turn-
