To Etey's stt rpri.e he introduced them to Mr. Peyton, who threw the charm of his con verdution over them, ashe had over Mr. Warner, and the evoking passed ere it begun. • Time passed on, and other evenings I were together Erent,and it soon required but a careless eye to see that the (ace of Etsy Peyton was the only lace on earth to their new friend. "Etas, your husband is really falling in love again," Agues said; but the sad • Essiet" made no reply. One eight Mr, Peyton said to her,— "Mrs Willis, Tour face haunts roe, it reminds me or some one I have seen be fore.'perhaps it was in say ilreAms." Etey answered,— "Perhaps." She sat on the verandah one night waiting for Agnes and father. They were to leave fur New York the next day, and there was tt great ache at Etsy's heart, Mr. Peyton stepped through the low window and stood beside her. Ile mete ly bowed his head ; he never spoke--she dared not. "Yon are sad to-night, Mrs. Willis.— Are you sorry to knee Niagara r For the life of her she could not an swer him, but, without waiting fur une he sat dun nbv her side.

Etsy was weeping, "Yon, too, have known sorrow, Mrs. Willis, but it is better to mourn for the &ad than the living." Lionel Peyton loved the weeper, and it required all his honor and manhood, all his self control, to keep from takine , her in his arms and telling her so. lee did not, for all the pleadings of his heart, but continued,— "Later I met wtth one, who, before was aware of it, crept into my heart -a beautiful, regal woman, with.a passionate tropical nature, entirely suited to mine.

"Did pa love her so mach. this beau tiful woman of - .whom yno spoke ?—bet. ter than any beauty of (tidy Or Spain. or any one you met in your wanderings?" His face flushed then paled. "Better than any woman on earth— better than anything but my honor and my God." and he held with an iron grasp , the small white hand he had taken in his. "Love her! nh, it would be heaven to be always by her side; to watch the flash and gleam of those proud eyes, and the shining of the dark hair, and the proud throat, as white as snow.' "It must have been very hard for you to Fit e her up." ' "It was hard. What would you have done, so circumstanced." ' "I would be true to my honor and my , God, as you were." . .

"You know who the woman is, Easie, that is so dear to me ?" "I have known it from the first." "And you still aevise me to return to my wife ?" ••1 do." "And if she will not receive me ?" "Then return to Europe and 'work for the good of others!" He drew her close to his heart. "This once let me hold you there; and now farewell!" A moment more and she was alone,and Lionel Peyton was wildly tatonghischam ber-lloor,with broken words of prayer up on his bps. A week frdu Chia time found Etsy at the Grunge, where , she found a letter awaiting her, announcing the arrival of her hostand on thelollowing night. Etsy, if you only loved Lionel!" cried the disappointed mother. "Perhaps I may, mother, perhaps he may find ale worthy to be lured." He came at seven o'clock. The long drawing-room was lighted in honor of his coming, and the sertonts, at least, with bright new suits and stinting faces, show ed their j"y at his return. Ile was shown into the reception-room white Cooly Cato went to appraise Etsy. He returned in a moment, saying she would see hint in the drawing-room:— Lionel bit his lip, and followed the old servant with a proud step. "At least, she might have appeared to welcome me," he thought. Under the brilliant gaslight stood that beautiful Essie he was trying to forget. "Agaia—must he again battle with his spirit to keep down that mad love which liana till him eveiy hour ? What Icould have brought this beauty to the Grange?" sprang to meet him. "Oh, Lionel, I am so glad." And bending back her beautiful bend, Ishe held up her lips for a kiss.

"Well, I loved her, and thought she liked me; but I wasn't slue. I courted her a good while, but she was as shy as any bird, and I couldn't satiatiy myself us to her feelings. So I made up my mind to ask and know for certain. Some old poet says: 'lb either fears his fate too much, Or his deserts are small; Who rear to DO it to the touch, And win or lose it all: "I agreed with him ; and one evening as I walked home from a little party where we had met, with her on my arm, I stop ped tinder a great willow tree, and took her hand in mine, and said "Jesse, I love you better than my life —will you marry me ?

What did au 'unknown suicide' want of another coat and a change of linen' ' I kissed my mother and sister, and startled my grandmother by an embrace, and started upon what I mentally called my last journey, with a detcrmivated spirit. "There was a certain lintel to ,which many of the people of our tillage were in the habit of going. This I aroided.— Another, chosen at a hazard, seemed to be better.

I had torn the hatter's mark from my beaver. As I ascended the hotel steps 1 fell,so to speak, like one gotng to his own funeral. A grinning waitei bowed before me. A pert clerk lifted np his head and stared. I was an ordinary traveler to them—that was evident. It was late in the evening. The place wore an air of repose. Laughter and a faint clink of glasser in an tuner apart ment, toll of some conviviality. One old man read his newspaper before the 6re.— Nothing else was astir. I asked fur a room. The clerk nodded. "Do you care what floor ?" he asked. I shook my head. “Number twenty-nine is empty," he said, and tossed a key to the waiter,whom I followed ut once. We reached the room by two flights of stairs. At the door the waiter paused. "Thought he said twenty-nine," he muttered. "The key is twenty-one." "Then open twenty one with it," I said. "I don't care fur the number of the room." "No sir—to be sure, sir," said the wai ter, and passed along u few steps further. "Twenty-one," hr said, end, unlocking a door, pushed it open. • "Shall I bring you anything, air ?" he said. I answered "no," and he !art me, hay ing put the candle oh my bureau. The hour had come. As I shut the door, a heavy etch escaped me. Alas! that life had become so woeful a thing to me tha• I should desire .o be rid of it. In the Jim light of my one candle, I paced the floor, and thought bitterly of the girl I toted so dearly. It was in the days of curtained beds.— The bed in this room was hung with dark chintz ;so were ihe windows. Over the bureau was a looking glass, with a por trait of a Indy in puffed sleeves and high comb, at the top, by way of an ornament. There were four st OPE: chairs,ind a brass shine! and tongs stood guard beside the grate. I Tam-ied myself lying dead on the beet amidst all the;e belimeings, and felt sorry fit myself. Then'l took my pistols from my portmantA au, and leaving the door unlocked. for why should 1 put. the j landlord to the trouble of breaking it open, I lay down on the bed, drew the i curtains, took a pistol to each hand, and na true as I how speak to you, had the muzzle or each to u temple, when some 01011 011otird the door, and—" There now, said a voice, "1 told you you 'lido% loch it." "1 did; said another voic , , 'and sent the key to the office by the chamber maid: -I laid the pistols down and peeped through the curtains. There were two ladies in the room. One an old lady in a brown front of false euris,the other my cruel lady.love, Jessie Grey. Fur a moment I fancied I must be dreaming. "Sure it's the right number r asked Jessie. . . 'Tweol,' ore—Yes: said the other.— 'And here's my hand box. Oh, dear I I'm sleepy.' •I am not,' mid Jessie. 'I wish I was, • . "'You didn't sleep a wink last night,' said the aunt. 'Nor you haven't eaten you meals to-day. You'll go into a de cline it you go on that war. I'll see Dr. Black about you to-morrow.' "'1 dou't want Dr. Black to be called, sighed Jessie. 'l'd rather die.' '••\\•luK's ltlie matter?' cried the old lady. 'You are not yourself. You don't eat or sleep, and cry perpetually. What oils you?" • • "'l•m miserable,' said Jessie. " 'Why ?" cried her aunt. "Oh, CbSie j 'it's all your fault. Yon told me over and over again that a girl must never jump at an offer; that a man must he refused at least once, or he'd not value a girl. Aud I liked him ny. I A —ben he asked me I felt so glad! But I re membered what you said. and oh, how could I do it ?—I sad, "Oh. dear, no!" and he left me without a word. And I'm so sorry -oh, so sorry I—because I loved him, aunt.' "You little goose!" cried the old lady. "As for me, y m can fancy how I felt. I had no thought of suicide now. My I desire was to live and ask that question of, mine over again. I pocketed my.pistels and crept down on the other side of the bed. I stepped toward the bureau and blew out the (auntie. The faint red light of the fire was still in the mom. As I dashed out at this door, I heard two fe- I male are:ans., but I escaped in safety. "I met the waiter ou the. maim " 'Found out the mistake, sir,' he said 'Just coming to rectify it.'
