Alnnsnn Parker wns center in his li brary nnd deeply immersed in thnuRlit His usually placid brow woro at present A shade of perplMti'yand the fingers of bis nervous, delicate band which shaded it, trembled not n. liltle. That day was the anniversary of bin wife'tt dentb, which made bim n vidowerof n year's staudiup, nnd completed tbo expiration of that pro- b.itlon Ahich llio world Imposes ere it saclions a second hymenal connection. He. nt 1'flRth rose and took from a con cetl?l drawer in bis writing-desk, n cask et, and from that n minlalurp, on which he gnz4d for seme moments with tender iutcrest. OT course the pictnreof his do parted wifn, snysrnrnnticipntlve render,, hut such.is not the fact. Her pale, in elegant fealnrej, which were correclly portrayed on tbecanvns, ornamented by a rich gilt frame.iind stipnded from the wall, were in marked contrait to the ailfihinu cbnrms of the fair being repre sented by the miniature The former was the personation of milure life, the latter, the very dawn of womanhood. Tbo casket nnd its treasure wrresnon restored to their secret resting-pUce. n mnmentn of disappointed hopes nnd still cherished aOeclion, which ind.nimle tLo Kay mau of the world ft sober man of thought, and early wove the threads of premature age nniid bis dark hair. A gentle tag nt the bell-rope wim answered by the appearance of nn old domestic, whom he directed to Inform bis daughter that he desired her presence at once, Charlotte Parker, then in her sixteenth year, was indeed an object which com manded admiration, A womnn in form nnd statnre, with features of Mirpnsing loveliness, she still retnined a cbildib simplicity, nnd the wayward but engag ing fancies years of indulgence bnd en tailed upon ber, yet with frank nnd gen- erons impulses which endeared her to all. As she entered the apartment, somewhat startled by tbefoimalBiimmous.her fath er took her hand and in a tone of deep tenderness said to ber "My dear child, I have sent for yon in order that we might have n short but serious talk of Ibe future. I need not ask you if you r member the cad event that ocenrrod u er rgn to-day." "Dear mother, alio can never be for gotten." cried the fair girl, with a bnrat of I oar. "Yes, my daughter, yonr mother has long biiice become an iubabilaut of that unseen, better world, nnd has only left us her memory to cherish, and the calm, pure example of her life." A Kiltnce of some moments ensued .and when brokeu, Mr. Parker bnd assumed a calmer and more lormal tone, as he aid: "Charlotte, you have now attained an iige when a yo'ing woman is expected to make ber apprnrauce in tL'e world, an eveut which a futher, however great his tint which nqniris tia, stuff of maternal counsel. Have yon evrr thought of thiti' "I only think (hat any place, however remote from society, which contained ny kind father and dear Aunt Susie, would be productive of all the happiness I could hope for," "That speaks well for yonr affection. my child, which I must aoon put to the test. You are deeply attached then to your aunt?" , "She has been a mother and companion to me, and everything kind and good." "Still she has not a mptber'a right to advise and control, and this brings me to the point which, is the object of this interview, Charlotte, I am about to marry, for yonr sake and my own, and inclination as well as duty on my part, has prompted me to take this step." The jonug gfrl sprang Irotu his arms as though a viper had slung br. ' 1 was not prr)tre.! to receive a new nffiction, to the exclusion of one enter (Allied for yeM, nor can m) heart be coniptlled to it." I forgive you, Charlotte, and yon will rfprtl thin riihnlav or nnkHlnn in vonr . f - i j , j ,,1nir mntni-nta Ynn mnv now retire calmer luomeuis. lou. may now retire, She suddenly Wt the room, without a word, abd sought the drawing-room to give fall vent lo ber tears. As she threw $1.00 If herself into a cbair.sb" felt a gentle touch upon ber shoulder, and turning, she be held the person of all othe.'s she felt could give ber consolation. "O, Aunt 8nsie, is It you, whom I wished to see so much nt this moment?" "Is Ibis, ralher.my brave Cburly.weep ing like a rnrelesn little girl who baa broken her doll? For I enn think of no serious cause for ber grief." "Don't speak so lightly, dr anat. I have just bad an interview with mjr fath er, and be has told me that ho. was about to marry." The features of Miss Mansfield, tho aunt, nnd they were those of a beautiful woman who had not seen thirty-five years, were tinged for a ninnu lit with a faint Mnsb.ns she answered u lib a simple. "Well." "Hut it is not well. It Is shameful." "Charlotte, is it possible I bear yen peak thus?" '"lie will have but little kindness left for me, I Imagine, when the step-mother .arrives." "Perhaps you object to the person. If so, it is wrong to make a kind parent tbo subject of yonr Injustice." "I neither know nor enre who she is. I only know that some person, probably lured by bis wealth, wonld ocenpy the place of my dear, departed mother." "How can you judge the motives of one yon say you do net even know?" "Whit motives can a woman have to marry an old widower, except those I have named?" "My dear Charly, it Is useless to pur sue this subject further. It will not alter yonr father's determination, nor can the disenskion produce nny satisfaction to yoareelf." "Even yon now side against me." "Do you not Bee that you are in tho wrong, since thiscondnctof yours makes yon unjust to one who baa never spoken a harsh word to you?"' "Forgive me, dear aunt, I know I am sccuro in your affection, but I am very nnbnppy." "Clouds precede the sunshine, my dear child, so wait patiently and they will dis perse. Listen to me, and I will give you the ontliue of n long btnry which relates to a second marriage, ami when I tell you that I knew the parties well, perhaps you will flud it of some interest. "In a certain place the locality is un importantthere lived an old gentleman and his two daughters. He wus what the world calls rich, nnd spared no expense in their education. We will speak of them by the names of Martha and Mary. Martha was five years blder tban'her sis ter, who nt the time of our story was not far from your age, Charlotte. In person they were very unlike, the elder having no pretentions to beauly, although ter kind disposition endeured her to nil. The younger was flatti red and caressed, her wayward follies ullowtd, while ber spirits were wild and buoyant, us ber eistei'u were gentle aud lowly. "A young lawyer catne to that place on business, and cl.auce, or rather Piovi dence, led him tn au acqualLtauce with this family. Tho lather became much attached to him, while his splendid per son and manly qualities soon won the intercr.t of the sisters. His business must have bieu completed, but the Hiring passnd and be still remained. Then he was culled away for a brief space, and re turnvd to find tho old gentleman sufftr iug bis las; illuess. "SognntwiiB the confidence that be placed in Charles Putrrs, that in his will he niado him tbo administrator of his es tate, and faithfully wns that trust dis charged. His kindness to the afflicted girls was gratefully appreciated, but Mary read a deeper meaning in bis admiring glanco than ordinary friendship, and her inn heart became conscious I but it was no longer under the control of its mis. Inss. Love soon finds language, nnd in this instance was mutunllyackuowledijed, vtid for a time flowed on in tiauquil hap piuess. "Tho yonng miu was obliged again to lake leave of Ihem for a short time. Meauuhile, Martha had been growing paler every day. Her step lost its elan ticlly, and though she did not complain, ber sister saw she was gradually siukiug into confirmed indisposition. "Martha contrived to bo much alone, aud one day while engaged in a solitary wulk, ber fcUter discovered the moment ous secret of ber life. A journal In which this pure-minded girl wrote her daily acts aud thnngbts, was inadvertently left upon her table, and revealed that she bad long and hopelessly loved Charles Peti . "I cannot go iuto detail, but poor Mary, after long and painful strnggtes, nnd with a bleeding heart, formed the resolution of rescuing ber sister from death, thongb obliged to bid farewell to ber own happiness. She determined to affect the marriage of Charles with her filter, and her resolution was strengthen ed by the alarming symptoms Martha daily displayed. When her lover return ed, bow wildly her heart beat as she was clasped in his ardent embrace. To ac complUb ber purpose she affected gnyety and waywardness when she felt her heart was breaking. Assuming a playlnl air, she asked him 1o grant ber a favor, "When she informed bim of her real intent, Ihe yonng man was thunderstruck witb astonishment.
