BY MBS. N. ROBINSON. It was a raw, desolate November day. A clisconlenied wh <1 complained among the trees. There was a glimmer of laded gold on the dead leaves drifting hy the easement. .The huh lay upon the floor beneath the window*, in pale squares, MUe moonlight in its pallid gleam; a vine Iretled at its fastenings. The sol emu-moan of tlie tempest gathering In tlie murky E«M, sounded through the air, and swelled among the tree tops. On the porch where thecrim-en leaves of the woodhin hudd ed, Schuyler La toui nut, playing wonderful melodies on a violin, melodies that wete dirges.* The pale lace, shaded by long brown curls, ihe sad blue eyes uplifted now, never wore a joyiul expression. 111, and |os hMsaing a painful deformhy of person, he was dehc.te by mold, and over senrl- Uve, raiely movim* In the piesenee of str ingeis, >e&c some one, MMuedand un refined, might ridicuie.lhu lameness that was the bun of his lile. He loved my brother, George Forbes, and uhmg lo him ternaoionsly To none other he conlid-d hisgiiels —to none oth er gave the allectlm of a soul warped to waul the world by many reverses. I looked at him from my covert, and saw tears on his thin eheeks*' The old Cremona uttered a long dismal wail, and tlien the \oung man’s head fed upon this comforter of his soul. His arms went about it, and ids frame quivered with some shuck of emotion. There was a bustle down at the gate, and Robert, the coachman, came up to say that his master and his wife hud reached the station. I told him lodrive down for them, and prepare to meet my only brother, and the Htiuiigvr f*ister he wool > bring. It was duik, and the lire burned red ly in ilu* roomy fireplace of the comforta ble o <|-n'tm- parlor, sending shahs of muddv flan.e into theheutsof the sulky shmlows haunting the recess, holding the piano; and the niches, sacred to the p- r tiaits of m> parents, long since gone »r»-m earth. The \yind had risen to a gale, and howled down I lie long avenue, tossing up yellow billows of leaves Into the porch ; and occasionally there came the sharp, .crisp rattle ol hall against the windows.

It soared, it sank, it plunged into howling discords, it shrieked through furious diapasons. Manfred was leader. I recognized the voice of her stormy, un governed spirit. Silence wan in the room. Lutour, gasping and white, clutched Ins chair for support, Manfred, fluthed, and with dilated pupils, regard ed her companion. , , / , 1 thuuuht he was about to faint, and arose to go to him, when O orge said : “ Mrs. Forbes, you are a wonderful ulaxer, but I don’t like the din.” *Tlie» Manfred-came to her husband, ureleudlng to pout at thedoubtful com plaint, and Latnur begging to he excused, hade us gccd-nlg t, and went, with his slow, hailing step, Irom tlie room. It was a day or two after that we al atoml in tlie •tilting hail. We hail left the table, and I handed the keys of the closets and pant** es to Manfred, saying : “It is but proper I should resign my place. Ido so now.” “ You shine in your present vocation, she replied, with that sarcastic intona tion that so much annoyed me. * I hava othersubjeclHilmn housewifery to, engross my attention.” . . , There was a qni'k furtive glance at Laiour, who ciims-ouetl and sought to cover his confusion by looking out of tlie window, wlille George playfully asserted that his wife's head ami heart could con tain only I imself.

I went about my work depressed, and apprehensive —of what ? a something monstrous nod u* ly, like all shadows. 1 could not shake offthe clammy hands that pressed, cold and heavy at my heart. Had Lalourfor gotton Ids own divination ? The prophe sy overshadowed me. Was Its prescient voice dumb to him now ? The evenings were all much like the first. 1 think it. gratified George to perceive the intimacy that sprung up between hla. wife ami friend. The one lie loved ardently, steadfast ly, as is in such natures to love ; for the other, entertained the purest friendship He had no (esthetic* tastes. Koran it* music, In painting and poetry, he had no 'preference. He liked heavy *liteia ture, philosophy, science and history.— He was thorough in reading anti, labor.— He was king in ids own realm of mind ; governor of his Impulses and feelings.— Thus Manfred, wily .enchanting, leagued, I believe, with evil shades, wrought out through the long winter evenings La tour’s vaticination, Warning, I felt, could be of no avail. George liked to pore-over Win dull cyclopedias before the crack ling hickory Arc, while I knitted, or sewed « pposile. In the dusky rices* sat Manired and Schuyler, The harmo ny was wicked and unhallowed. All Latour’s soft, sweet cadences had been swept away by the poisonous outflow of the weird tmttm- y creations of Manfred. One January night, in the midst ol a discordant Improvisation, Lutonr sud denly broke away and eume to tho .fire, with an angry flush on hischeek. Man Ired played on some ’moments, then crossed Hie room, remaining standing up on the hearth. “You misinterpreted me, Latour,” he said, ut last. “ I hardly think that possible, ’ he re plied, gloomily. “ I cun convince you,’* she continued, with unwonted eagerness. “ I meant his .” Bhe placed her hand upon her heart, md then softly kissed her finger-tip-*, uni waved them toward him. Hhe had fancied, perhaps, that dull-eyed, an I was, ami drilled out so fur from youth’s flow ery strand, 1 would not comprehend her pantomlne. The cloud lilted from the ■>oung man*-* face. She whispered ; 41 Come." and they glided buck to the Instruments. George, carefully unearthing theories in an old recondite work on logic—of what kind X cannot now determine—hint remained ohll\lous to the little play so Inteiesllng ami exciting to me; hut the noisy, exultant strains following disturb ed his equipoise. He scowled, went over, and took Man fred in his arms, and, shaking Jier, set her down in an arm-chair. “There, now !” ho exclaimed, like one addressing a naughty child. “ I think I’ll have quiet.” Malty brought up apple s * and cider, that time-honored and, when properly prepared, delicious vintage of our orch ards. May came. The trees were half in leaf, ■in I all in bloom; th- noisey rohhins came back to their old haunts; the grass was green on the slopes, ami the brocks Joined the birds in singing. A heaven nf blue overarched us, and the world was flushing Into beauty. George was but in the fields superin tending the Ihburof his men, olten work ing with them. Manfred and Schuyler took long walks. Then was the excuse to me, who they felt doubled them, of plants to he gatheie l for the herhanum. or a rare view from the distant hills to be sketched. One June ivening I was restless, and went below to the library, thinking to rend myself rid of the nervous, miserable feeling possessing me. I lighted a lamp. As Its rays made objects in the room visible, I started at sight of Latour at a window. He seem ed p'ofoundlv embarrassed. Are yon ill 7” I quest oned. " No, thank you. I must have (alien asleep here. I will retire now, if you please.” There was the faint, sinking odor of sortie tropical flower, a perfume that Manfred was extremely partial to, linger ing on the air. Hud she been here this evening? I bail fancied that a soft foot-fall pulsated on the stillness when I turned the knob of the door. Was the retreating foot steps a delusion? '• You have been quite alone?” The color mounted to Latour’a fore head. He bowed, and in a moment ad ded : . , . , ■■ Your suspicions honor my taste more Man mv judgment.

A dull, distant homo of thunder smote the sultry stillness, and tire birds wheeled ami shriekeiialfsm d‘y from a hundred leafy eyries; then an awful silence fell into the world again; It was growing ilurk, with the shadows of night and storm drifting sw ftly downward,’ Through the aug menting glomn I saw my brother in the doorway.

He fell rather than sat down,ami thrust an open’ letter, which he held in his shaking fingers, hit i my hand.

The reason why you need more »l ep limn your pa renls is because you have to grow and they do not. They cun use up the food they eat, In thinking, talking and work ing, while you should s «vesome of yours ji»r growing. You ought losleep a great deal; if you d«* not, you will in activity consume all you eat, and have none, • r not enough, to grow’ with, Very few smart children teldotn excel, or even equal other people when they grow up.

Then, Mr. President, he lifts up to IPs cadaverous lip the golden china eup, manufactured, an is well known, Mr. President,in Chili. Peru, and other unknown and uninhabi table par's of the universe. While, on the other hand, Mr. President, the poor man declines' his expectation in a cot* luge, from which he retires to the shade of an umbrageous stream, there to con template the incompiehensiblllty of the vast constellation, and oilier fixed and immovable slulellitea that devolve around the celestial axletree of this t« n equucious tenement on high.

The sharp thrill of agony at her heart was succeeded by a passionate feeling of resentment. ‘Let him go I* she said to herself, while the red pennons fluttered on her cheek.’ 1 I would not lift a Huger to keep him here !• 80, when Bruce Medway’s earnest, ap pealing letter came a day or two after wards Ernestine folded It quietly with in a blank envelope, without breaking the seal, and sent It buck.
