What. were they. - when eomparedlO my dear Helen Y • I even Shunned society -; not from any- fear of their fasdnations, bat be cause it involved expense„ and , object,. was economy. And the three years Passed, and at•their end I found Myself With's fine ,pritctice, splendid. health; a sum Of money laid away for a rainy day, and every wild habit of my early youth discarded: It is needless to say that when the moment time of - probation - had expired, lingered, no longer. Confiding my patients to a brother phySician on whose , skill I relied, I took passage for NeW .York at'encei ,and arrived. there .upon • glorious October day, with a heart , beating wildly .with the emotions which were, naturally born of the • near approach of my rennion with Helen. I only lingered in the City, long enough to banish the traces of travel from my person; and then, caressed as becomingly as I knew hOW—fOr whoever forgot personal appearance' on such occasion ?—I jumped upon a train of cars• Which ran through the town where I bad parted, three years ago, from my darling.._ , - • The time of the journey was four hours—it seemed an eternity to me. I could scarcely wait for the train to slacken speed when the town was .reached: - I strained my eyes to. data sight of the poplars that grew above. her dwelling, 'and rather ran -than walked down the wide . street which led to the-green lane on which Ms Harrington's mansion stood, when a scene met my eyes that transfixed me to the ground in horror. • . . The - poplars stood green and tall as ever, but beyond them arose only one ruined wall, with empty windows, and at its foot a heap of rubbish, charred and blackened, • and telling, as I thought, of a recent conflagra tion. - I was too much overcome to move for many moments, but at last. I sum moned courage to make iniluiries with•a. throbbing heart.' I walked up to an Old woman who stood at an op , posite and asked her if she could tell 'me where to find Mr. liar : rin,gton. • 'She shook her head. "No," she said; "yor no one in the place. They went aitay in the night, andwe've never heard of 'em. Perhaps you're a friend of theirs ? " " Yes, yes," I gasped. " Tell me all yOu know." "_You see,' Mr. Harrington failed two years ago," --said the woman, "and that crushed him down, and then, te" bank broke where he had a little- left after things were settled. and then some one-set his house afire, and he was so burnt that he lost his .sight, and they couldn't bear, I sup pose,, to live where they'd lived so well .as they'd have to live, so they went away secret like, and haiu't been seen since, nor heard of, They did say she was married,• but that may be nonsense,and some say they're in New-York, but it's•ahcruess-work. Why, how pale you do rook ! You, are a relation ?" But I could not answer her. I leaned against the door-way, faint and ill. It was .to .hear this at last that I bad struggled with fate, and denied my heart a glimpse of her I loved for all these years. The old Woman was right. NO-one wknew more than she. I went to• Ne- york and searphed for herfor months. I advertised, but all in vain. - At last, beli6ving•that.l had indeed been for . otten, and that the tale of- her mar ri • ad was true, I settled down in that cit as a physician, determined at, leaSt to'be worthy of her and to life the li • which I had lived for her sake. . d so-two more years passed without , 'rlimpse of her. - . -r' One Ch *stmas Eve, the fifth of our parting,. 1 sat alone hilly office. and could ha wept' with loneliness. What was the - , mit,' and fame I now might confident! hope to win, if her smiles did not ble•s me, if no wife ever sat beside iny•h rt, and no child called me father ? I k gun to wonder whether It might not be better for me to find !mime worna worthy of respect and admiration, a.d .bestow upon her what remnants o a heart . I had to. give, ere I grew c 3 Id and selfish in my loneliness. An as 1 thought thus, a• woman came mil - ing at my dOor to beg me to come at once to 47 — 7 —street, where an aoc - dent had happened. - I hurried on ; - iny overcoat and hat, and followed her. - It was a tipsy hod-earrier - who had scalded himself with -boiling pima, and' ,it was no easy task t:bind "-pp his wounds and convince him thatche was in no danger, if he would obey my instructions and refrain from:tip pling. - •. • . - Consequently - it was late when I hurried down stairs on my way home. All the lamps in the house, were lit, and over the table of a . rather respec table room on the lower floor clamed a jet of gas. Its sharp hissingfor it was tUrhed on too far—attracted me:, I glanced at it, and remained riveted to the spot. 'Beneath it, on the table, stood the "golden. tulip " 1 had-given 'KC years before.

Be the mass 'of printed assertion what it will, the experience of,the World proves that men can scol as bitterly and as unjustly as women.

That is what. she does when she is loving and confiding ; and, as with' the 'other, accusation, never resented, that women have the monopoly of gossip,,soit is with the itputation of scolding. Now men scold and women scold is the impulse of an' undisciplined !Inman nature, in :which - both then and women share. It 'shows a weakness [of character; us well as infirmity of *ill, and is almoSt, always a complete demonstration of a feeble mind.
