Tho inpldonts of this llttlo story occupy but n few hours, as the reader will see, but as tho poet says, lovers "measuro time by heart-boats," and tho moments of that dark day seemed llko years to mo. I had beon engaged about a month to Floraneo Iano, daughter of Joshua Lane, head book-keoper with "Lottnor & Brothers," and was very happy in deed, for I had won my betrothod from rather an alarming rival Melville Lottnor, a nephew of tliP l)Cxd pf tho (lrm, a iandsorao dnndy and a great catch, Mr. Lane was n serious gentleman, bolt upright in his carriago in all senses, a church member and a Sun day school teacher, and ono whose boast was that he had "no small vices." Floeonco ndored him, and I fanciod that ho would' mako a very good sort of father-in-law, ho was so eminently respectable, Jtp shook hands with mo next day and said that I had won a treasure, so that was all right and I felt that fate had used mo woll. I wont to seo my Florenco every evening, I bought the handsomest ring I dared indulge in to seal pup engage ment, and I resolved to make a fortune for her sake. I often looked at Melville Lottnor with pity. Ho was poor, no matter what else ho had, in my estima tion, having lost Florence. We had been engaged about a. month, whon one evening my little treasure, who seemed to have had something on her mind for some days, took me by my upper vest-button, and looking up into my eyes, said: "Edwin, I want to ask you something. I know it is not tho proper thing (or an engaged girl to go out with othor gcntlemon, but just for once I will ask your permission to do so. "Before we were engaged I promised to go to the Charity Ball with MelviUe Lottner. He has written mo that he has procured tho tickets and holds me to my promise. I feel as thoueh I owed it to him to go may I? You know he has been very nice to us, and father has beon with the Arm so many years. Still, I will refuse to go if you object " My dear Florence," I cried iuthe heartiest manner, "certainly I do not object. Koop your promise; do as you please. Of course I should not llko it as a regular thing, but " "Oh, it is tho first, last, and only time," Florenco cried. "Of course, If it wore not an old engagement I should not go oven now," Tjicn. we talked of other things, and mado a groat point of being vory cheerful, though somehow I cannot say I really llkod the idea. It was not natural that I should, I suppose, and I felt that I should be glad when tho Charity Ball was over. Tho evening cam.0, I sat In own room, feeling angry with mysolf for bo ing vexed and jealous, which I was. I went out after awhilo; and walked about tho city and met a frlond or two, ana was asKea uy eaon one what was tho matter. Then I went homo and wont to bed, and dreamed that I saw Florence dancing with Mephlstopheles, and that whon I rushed toward her and tried to solzo her by the arm, she vadished in a bluo flame. The breakfast-bell orqiisod we from my rlrst good nap, but it choered mo greatly to And a noto from Florence lying beside my plate. It had no stamp upon it, and had evidently been brought by a mossenger. "Dear little girl," I said to mysolf; "no doubt she know just what a fool made of myself lajt night," I put it In my bosom, for I would not road it beforo strangers, and I ran up to my own room to enjoy it there- Highest of all in Leavening Po.wcr. latest U.

How carefully I out tho onvolopo, how tondorly I drow forth tho shcot of papor thnt lay within, nnd whon I had done so those words lay spread boforo my astonished nnd horrified oyos: "uooauyo goodbyoforovorl Scorn mo, hato mo, novor think or speak of mo again for I havo promised to marry juoiviiio ottnor. "Flohesce Lane." For a few moments after readlnu this uriot letter I fancied that I was dying. anen l said to mysolf that It was an April fool trick. Unfortunately It was not tho first of April. Finally I decided to seo 1'loronco if I wero oblicod to break tho door down in order to do so- I telegraphed to my placo of busl ncss. (It was no falsohood to say that I was ill,) and hastened to Mr. Lnno's residenco. A servant was swooping tho front door stops; I rushed past hor and entered the front parlor. l'rom tho back one camo n sound of sdbbing, I Invadod tho room, and thoro was Floronco prdne upon a sofa, weep ing oiitoriy. "Florence!" I cried, siukincronmv Knees bosido hor, "hero I am that absurd noto frightened mo but I am suro " I put my arm about her.butshn liftod herself on hor elbow, gazed at mo with a countonanco of utter despair, and gasped: "Oh, Edwin Edwin, you only break my heart. You must not embrace me, I am engaged to Melvillo Lottner. I shall be his wifo in loss than a month and I I must see you no moro." "Your father has forced you to this. Floronco." I sold. "Remember, filial obedience has its limits; I will resist if you do not." But her answer was this: "Dear father knows nothing about it: I havo not told him yet. Ho is away from home. It is all my own doing. and hero is your ring, anil it is all ovorbotwoon us." Then she sobbed again, and at tho end of two hours I had gained nothing more. I left the. house as nearly a madman as I could bo, and flow at onco to tho Lottners' placo of.buslness. I inquired for Mr. Lane, and was told that ho was absent in "Albany on busi ness. I inquired for Melvillo Lottnor, and ho received mo in a gorgeous little ofllce, whoro he sat smoking a cigar. I presented my card, ho bowed, I looked at him, ho looked at mo. I suppose," said ho, "you'vo como to know why sho did It? You need not speak. It is embarrassing, of courso. but all is fair in love and in war. I'm tho lucky ono, and if you hato mo for it I cannot help it." "I am assurod that thero is some thing under this," I said. Florence Lauo Is not ono to jilt a man in this cold-blooded manner without reason." "The reason that sho likes mo best ought to satisfy you," ho answered. I had a great desire to murder him, but refrained tho days of dueling nre ovor. I departed, fooling that tho next best thing was suicidrj. However, any sane man hesitates to escape from his troubles in this fashion, and in thgend resolved to bear tho burden Jf lifo. though joy had fled from it forovor However, I could not enduro existence whero it was possible that I mlgh moot Floroneo, soo hor perhaps with hor husband. I must leave New York, I felt, beforo h.or wedding day, Some one had latoly.'offored me a position In Washington. I had refused it, but if It wore still open I resolved to accept it. Accordingly I took my way along Broadway with my hat tipped ovor my eyes and my hands in my pockets, after the manner of miserable men, when suddenly the air was flllod with cries of: "Extra, extra! Awful calamity! Burning of the Albany night boat! Full list of dead and wounded!" What did I caro for tho Albany boat? I envied thoso who wero rid of all life's troubles but what wero scalds or bruises, or oven broken bonos, com pared to tho tearing of bonds that bound two hearts together? I kept upon my way until at last I ran Into somebody who caught mo by the shoulders. "I soo you'vo heard the nows, Meudo," he said, "and that you aro torribly cut about it. Too bad; such a valuable member of society and I suppose it has nearly killed poor Floronce." I looked up and faced an intimate friend of tho Meado family lu Jones, wno noiu a paper in his hand. "Perhaps you have not seen tho Daily Shout extra?" ho said. "Tho last particulars " t grasped the paper -thero it was, sure enough. Amongst tho drowned wo found tho name of the Lottner Brothers' oeteemed book-keeper Joshua Lane. "Good God!" I oriod. "Dreadful !" said Jones, MPoor old Lane, I liked, him but I suppose you are lu a hurry to go to Florence." I groaned, I did not go to Florence, of course, but I went home. I ontered my room and cast mysolf on the bed. A minute lator there was a knock on Powder tho door. "A tologram,""8aid tho girl. I tore it open, and this Is what it said to mo: "Deah Edwin, Como tojmo. Florence." "Plouso sign tho book, sir," cried tho girl. "Oh, Jiang tho book," Icriod.and dashod past.the messenger and down tho street. Onco moro I passed tho threshold of Mr. Lane's home, onco more I knolt bo sido my Horonco, who no longer for- uado mo to hold her hand. ".My noart is broken," sho said. "I am suro I shall dlo of grief for nana, dut. now tnat ho Is dead, and cannot bo harmed or shamed, I will not inarrv -oitnor, and though I do not oxpoct youtoforgivo me, 1 will toll you why I promised to do so. It was that papa nau yielded to temptation, ho had robbod tho firm, and would bo sontto Sing Sing for years if tho fact wero dis. covered. "ir l would marry him. Melvillo Lottnor said ho would roplaco tho money out of his own pocket, toll papa and never say a word about it.- Oh, Edwin how I hated him! But how could I refnso?" What could I say? I kissod hor and clasped her to my bosom while she wept for hor fathor. I Was ashamed of boing hannv at such a time, but roallv. I could nnt. help it, and under such circumstances I could not but believo tho departure or my darling's parent for abetter world n benign dispensation of Provl denco. Sho was sobbing foarfully, but I know sho would recover from tho blow after a while, and thon a blissful future would begin fqr us. In tho midst of this sceno tho door boll rang violently tho servant shrieked in the hall and a man rushed Into tho room it was Mr. Joshua Lane, though attirodjn n pea-jacket and slouch hat, ho did not look his usual spruce solf. "My daughter! my dear! my daughter!" ho exclaimed, "you havo bolievod tho bad news!" In a moment Florenco was in his arms. "I wont overboard," he was saying, "but they picked mo up in a tow boat and loaned me thoso clothes. Thank.God! for I'm not tired of lifo, and I should bo loath to leave my little Florenco, though I know sho would soon havo a young protoctor." And ho looked such a good, upright man as ho stood thoro holding out his hand to me, that a sudden conviction that Melvillo Lottner had Hod in order to trap Floronce, rushed upon mo, nnd on tho spur of the moment I told him tho story just as my darling had told It to mo. The indignation in his faco was proof enough that I was right, and a llttlo. lator I had tho satisfaction of go ing with him to iuterviow that nrch liar Mr. Melvillo Lottnor. A very shamo facod cur ho looked as ho mado his coufosslon, and tho heads of the flrm.wero as indignant as their book-keeper. Master Melvillo has since vanished from our horizon. Thoy say ho is in CubajtfAnd Florence and I, married six ninths ago, live very happily with my esteemed fathor-in-law. THIS HEAD OF Till! 1IOUSU. The Supremo Court of Nebraska has decided that when a husband is physi cally unable to support his family, and his wifo earns tho money to pay the bills, sho is tho legal hoad of tho family. Few authorities, legal or social, will prcsumo to question that such a decis ion is in accord with tho equitios, aud, therefore, promotive of tho public good. Novortholoss, in its tendoacy it is cal culated to create an npprohonsion In tho more timorous of manly bosoms that tho doctrlno of legal headship if given an inch may gradually proceed to help itself to an ell; lu othor words that it might result In a division of authority which would afford lamen tably disproof of tho adago that two heads aro better than ono. This apprehension is promaturo, to say tho least. Thoro is not the slight est warrant for assuming that woman drest in a llttlo briof authority would so abuso It by fantastic tricks as to wring tears from tho angels, as Shakes peare telU us uiim is wont to do. So far as actual headship of tho .family may go money or the capacity for earn ing mouoy is by no moans tho only tost of primaoy. Talent of various sorts, aud especially exooutive talent, is vory qf ten found to servo the same function as authority. This, howover, Is merely de facto authority; which is a vory different thing from nuthority bsff ro tho law. Thus fur tho rights of the husband are entirely secure oven In J- obraska. The doorslon is not only unassailable from tho standpoint ot oquily, but it is one more proof of the oft-noted fact that tho Wontren Courts aro taking advanced ground on questions touch ins tho legal status of woman whioh tho more conservative judical function aries of tho East may as veU prepare to keep pact wiUi, Meanwhile, and until the coming of that golden era, we may expect to see u liegira of Eastorn wives, with their husbands aud fam ilies, to the promising Nebraska plains; for tho women ot the East not only know a good thing when they see it, but, no Ingalls tall v woe the cose with Washington, they seo It a great way off. "If you want to grow rloh," said an aged thinker to a business man who wa3 about to fata: t a factory, "make it n rule to give the largest possible amount of goods of the beat possible quality for the leant possible sum ot money."

The Popo has acted wisely in reject ing tho schemo proposed by Herr Cahonsly for tho appointment of bis hops to represent and preside ovor tho various nationalities ronresentBrl hv Catholio immigrants in the United States.
