"No, Clintlfs It cannot be. As n

liut I cannot bo your wife, llavu coin

Mary Uranvlllo stootl before tne as
slio thus spol;n, mtli lier liamlu elaspcil,
and her head bowed, trembling; nnd I
funded that there wns n, tear In her
eye. Slio wai a henutlftil clrl; nnd 1
hud thought lir an good and as pure as
she was beautiful; and further than
this, I had believed blin lovrtl mo. She
was an orphan, nnd was teaching ono
of our village schools.
Of her early llfo I had known noth
ing, save that slio had been well edu
cated, nnd bad moved In good society,
and 1 had reason to believe that at some
time her parents had been wealthy; but
her father had failed in business; and
It !wl been Mild that the sad reverse had
killed 1.1 in . Mary was poor was de.
pendent upon her daily labor for sup
pott and the thought that I could
offer her a comfotttible home, with the
advantage of nimlerato wetillh, had giv
en increa-e to my prospective happi
ness, Hut this unexpected answer
had dashed nil my hopes to tho ground.
'Do you mean," I cried velittnently,
"Hint jou dismiss mi? Am I cast
oil?" '
"I canuot bo your wife" slio replied.
"Then." salil I with morn warmth
Ahan 1 might have dlsplajed under other
clicuinstances "1 leave you to jour
s.elf, and while I btrivo lo sliaUti off tlio
lovo that lias bound mo to you, I will
only hope that eru yon lead another;
into j our net, yon will keep him alter
you have caught hltnl"
Shu gar.ed upon my face with a pain
ful, ftlghtciicd look; but I did nut stn.
to hear her speak. While she sti-uil
palu utitl tiotubllug, 1 turned and lelt
the house.
Under olln r olrGiiniktancesI lulghthuve
been mure cool and collected In my
speech. I wtislieateG with wlno. Iltiul
drank just enough tu glic the brain an
extia Impulse; and my wotds were not
chosen as 1 would have chosen them had
lliespliitof wine been absent. As 1
wnlki'd homo I sought to persuade my
self 1 bad loituuati ly i scaped the snares
of a coquette. 1 Mopped nt the hotel
where I fuund a few of my companions
nnd helped lo dlsposo of li.ilf a dozen
bottles of wluo
On the following morning I woke
with a headache, and when I culled to
mind the events of the prcmdlug even
ing I was anything but happy. 1 began
lo itullzu how much I had loved Maty.
Thato was an aching void -in my hearf,
and I fairly wept as I contemplated toy
hiss. It wns my love, nnd its'inlluence
had pel meated every libre of my being.
The beautiful girl had become- more
dear to i;io than I could tell, and I
gioiim-d in bitter anguish when I
thought that she was lost tome forever.
I hail resolved that I would feel very
ungry and )ndigu;nt; but when the
sweit (nee was called up to mental
view, sitcji feelings metei) anay, leav
ing u:e .sad aud desolate.
On the following Sabbath I attended
chinch, wheio I saw Mary oucu more.
She played the organ as she bad done
lor jenrs past, nuJ as her lingers snept
over the keys I I'liucisd that J could de
tect tremulousnces wlileh I had never
noticed before. Was it only my im
agination, or was tliero really a plain
tivuness, a sadness in tho expression of
her music? to inu it seemed as though,
at Huns, the oignn groaned and wept.
It was like a walling of tho daughter of
Zlou by tho rl.crs of Dubylon. When
the services were over, and wo woat
nut from tho chuich, I saw Mary's face,
it was us palo and wan, as though she
had been sick. What could It be? Was
she suffcting as I suffered tho thought
Hushed upon me that so mo ono had
been Idling her something to my disad
vantage. 1 had enemies In tlio village
- enemies who envied tne because 1 had
Inlieiited soiuu wealth and I fancied,
i netnles who envied mo the love of
Mary Grant ll!o.
Another week psssed. I could not
read, lor my mind was never upon the
page before me. Another Sabbath at
tho church and I saw Mary again. It
scemtd to mo that slio was paler than
befoie, nndlier eyes looked as though
shu had been weeping.
During the succeeding week I re
cehed a visit from my old college chum,
Jack Stanton, who had just opened a
lawoP.lcelu Ueriyvllle. After supper,
B3 we fat In my coy parlor smoking
ourclgars, I suggested a bottle of wlue.
Jack ahook his head.
"N'o, Charley," ho said, "we'll leave
the wine for lhoe who need It."
"You ue.l to drink, Jack."
"Yes; but it never did nut any good."
"Aud do jou think it overdid jou
any harm?"
"As for that I will not say; but I
will tell you what I can say; It never
shall do mo any harm! I know it has
harmed others who were as strong as 1
am. Dy the way, Charley Isu't Mary
Granville here."
"Yes," said I.
"Do yoji know Iter?"
I turned away my lace and pretended
that 1 heaid something at the window.
"I have 6een her" I replied, wheu I
had composed in j self. ' She plays the
organ In our church."
"Shu aud were schoolmates." pur
sued Stauton, "aud speaking of wjne
brings her lo my mind. Do you know
auylhing of her eaily life?"
"Nothing," I nuswered.
"l'oor Muiyl I never Ihluk of her

Mr. Granville did not re fin in, nnd ere
many years hu died adrunkaid'sdeath,
leaving his family In poverty und suf
fering, Thomas, the sou, who was
four years older than Mary became very
dissipated; at the age of eighteen lie was
killed in a street light iu New York,
Mrs. Granville survived her son but
a few months, absolutely dying of a
brokep heart. Poor Mary thus lelt fa
therless nnd motherless without brother
or sister, nt the ago of fifteen, was
forced to earn the bread sie p-tP, and
nobly has siedono It. If you know her
Charley, you know of ono the grandest
women that ever lived. Dut what Is
Iho mattei? Why bless me you look as
pale us n ghost."
I struggled Willi myself, and told
Jack I had swallowed a lot cf cigar
smoke. I nrojc and opened ono of tho
casements, aud stepped out upon the
balcony, where the fresh air partially
restored me to my foitucr self.
At nMato hour Jack depai led for the
hotel, and when I hail retired to my
chamber I paced too mid fro until long
past midnight. I cuul.i no longer
misunderstand the motives which had

"Oh, my Guilt I ejaculated as I sank
Into n chair, I wondtr nut lhat slio
feared to trut her life in my keeping. !
She suffered enough from the ncatrsed
cup. Tho night of sorrow had been I
long enough upon her. She would be I
worse than mad lo take a husband
Whose npentng pathway of llfo led to I
tlio pit Into which the loved ones of
other days had fallen.
I found nt) difficulty In nnsweilng Hip
question; why did she not tell mo the
whole truth? t'he had shrunk from
wounding my feelings. I knew how
sensitive she was, and I know that she
had been afraid of offending me. Pet.
li .1 pa she thought mo proud nnd head
strong; and pel haps she imagined that
I might look upon her course as tho of
fering of her hand iu consideration of
my renouncing tho wine-cup, and Unit
I might spurn said offer.
On Friday Jack Stanton left me, nnd
on Saturday evening I called at Mary's
boaidlng place. Mary herself answered
my summons. Shu started when she
saw me, aud I saw her bauds movo
.quickly tu her heart.
"Mary," said I spoaklngjvery' calm
ly for I l)id a mighty strength of will
to support hip, "I have not como to (lis
tless you. I have come as a filfciid.aud
I humbly ask that yuu will glveine an
audience for a few minutes."
She went Into the parlor and I fol
lowed her, closing the door behind tne;
nud w)ien we wtre alone she set the
lamp on the table and motioned
ntetoa seat. "No," said I ; "I will
not set down yet. Give me your hands,
Mary,"
Mcchanlcallysho put forth her hands,
and I took them In my own. There
aus a wandering look upon ',l:er face
nud a slight flush had conip to her palu
cheuks.
"Mary," 1 continued, speaking shw
ly and softly and I knew that a moist
mo was gathering in my eyes "you
mu t answer me ono question. An
swer It as you please, nnd take my
solemn assurance that I onjy nsk It for
my good. Tell mo do you lovo nie?
No, no, do not take your hands away
yet. Answer me if you can. Fear not
0, fear not; for I would rather go
go lortli into endle-s night than do you
wrong. Tell mo, flinry; do you love
me!"
"I cannot speak falsely," the tremb
lingly whispered; "Igr ray own psace
perhaps I love you too well."
"Listen to tne ono moment." I add
ed, drawing Jjer nearer to me; and
when I have told you what I have to
tell jou, you shall bo the judge."
Sho did not free het hands; but she
gazed up eagerly In my face, and her
eyes beamed with a hopeful light.
"You know John Stauton?" I saiJ.
'Yej," she replied.
"Do was my best friend while at
college, and our friendship has not
grown less. He has bren to see me,
and he told mo the story of the trials
and sufferings of one of tho schoolmates
of his i arlier davs. 0, Mary, I think
I know very well why you refused my
bund, nnd I blame you not. It may be
that our paths may bo different through
lite; but you shall nt least know that
he whom you have loved will so live
lhat ha shall pot be unworthy of your ,
kindest remembrance. I know that '
tuy feet hivvu hithtrto walked in the!
path of danger, but henceforth I am,
free from thu dread snare. Under the '
new light that has dawned upon mo I
hold the w.ne-cup to bea fearful enemy
aud 1 will shun It as J would a shame
lul life nnd a clouded deathbed, For
iny own sake I will du this; so that my
sainted mother, If she can look down
fron heaven upon her boy, can budle
approvingly upon the course he has
chosen, Ami now, Mary, If at some
future time you should f.ei-i tint you
could trust your happiness In my keep

of, aud I will come again and ask yuu
for your hand, und should It be my
blessed lot to receive It I will devote

I let go her hand.i, and I bowed my
head to wipe nnay a tear. I had turned
towards tho door, really InteniMng to
depart nnd give her time for reflection,
when she pronounced my name. 1 1
looked back nud her hands stretched
out towards me.
" Not now," Iwhlspered. "1 will

the wns weeping like a cliild.

I never doubted your truth. I know
you cannot deccivu me. God bless you
for your noblo resolution; and let mo

Cn Iho following day a Sabbatlr
calm and pleasant the organ gave
forth a new strain. Tlio daughters of
JJion wero no longer In a strango land.
They had taken their harps down from
the willows and within the chambers of
thu Temple, more repleudent far than j
of old, she sang thesougs that had nforc
time made joyous the city or their God.
All maiked tho grandeur of thu music
that sprung into life beneath Iho touch
of the fairy organist on that benqtlful
Sabbath morning, and all seemed moved
with Inspiration. To ma It was like
the holy outpourings of n ledeemed
soul, and with bowed head nud folded
hands I gave myself up to tho sublime
Inlluettce.
As Mary turned from the Instrument
I caught her eye. Mine was deep with
luoisturu but her's was bilglit beatulhg
with glad scrap is light.
Wo went out from church together.
Ere many weeks had passed Mary
Granville was nut In the choir. She
knelt befriio the niter knelt by tuy
side and over us both tho aged clergy
man stretched Ills bauds with prayer
and blessing.
Again we went out from the chuich
together Mary and I out iutu the
new life bound henit to heart, and
hand to hand, to love, honor aud cher
ish forever.

Tho. boys were coasting down Syca
more street hill last evening, when Juhn
Sauscript and hi3 wife camo along.
They had been up on lialllmoro street
visiting, and weie on their wiy home.
"Just see them boys, now," said
John, a" ho braced up at the Intersec
tion of Mulberry street. "It really re
minds me of thu days when I was a lad.
Do you know, Jane, that I used to
coast down hill on n sled that way?"
"Did you, John?"
"Why, yes ; but that's fifty year,
ago! '
Sauscript scia'ahed his head contem
platively, and then muttered, "ootto
voce," ''Dlamo me, It I don't try
III".
"Try wjiat, dear?" anxiously asked
Mrs. S.
"I'm going to coast, just fjijce, to re
vive recollections of fifty years ago."
"Now. John, if I wero you"
"Dut you are uot me, so don't inter
fere. Here, sonny (lo a lad just puffed up
the hill with Ins sled); heie, sonny, I'll
uive you n quarter to Itt mo slide down
on your sled once."
Tho bargain was eagerly nailed and
clinched.
"Do keerful, old ;nan,'' urged the
boy, asSanscilpt squatted rather awk
wardly ou the sled; be keerful, I say,
and doirt let her Hunk one way or
t'other till she brings up, or yo'll git
mashed. "
"Never mind, younker," fissured
John ; "I'vo been hero afore some
years afore, but"
Dut what will never bo known, for
just then tho sled, of Its own accord,
started down hill, and even John him
self lias not since been able to recall
what ho was about to observe. Tho
surprise at tho sled's unexpected move
ment was general.
"Look out," yelled the boy.
'Oh, John," screamed Mrs. Sati
scrlpt. "Whoa, thciel" yelled John.
Hut thu sled noLldu'l whoa. It
seemed to havo set oil down that hill to
beat its best time. Juhn had chance
only to clutch hold or both sides and
hold his breatli for fear the wind would
blow of the top of his head. The only
thought he had time to foster was that
the boy must have gieased the sled's
runners as a piacttcal juke. Aud If
