It was a little stn.Jio, ,iiitc at t!iO toi
the house. I'pou the ctwel tint occupied
the post of Iiurior in l!.c middle id the
room, a piece of canvass plowed with the
soft tints of a fprinjj landsc-ijie, aud Frank
iSeyuiour stood Leluro it, pulutic in Ltitid.
his l;.r j;o Lriwn e)cs dreamy with a sort
of inspiration.
In a comfortably easy chair 1 y the door
sat a plump, ney little female, in a luce
cap with plenty of narrow, white .-atin
ribhou fltttterin from it, tmd a silver ttrey
poplin drc.-s Mrs. Seymour, iu t;;et, our
artist's mother, who had just come up
from the very basement "to sco how Frank
was getting along."
"Here, uioiher," tai.l the youtij niati,
.villi an enthtisiastie sparkle iti his eye.
'ju t fee the way tin.t sun-ait li.;lit toucii
es tho ioj uiost branches of the old maple
tree. I like the brown, subdued 'i'!d of
that tint; it somehow retiiiaJ-i uia of
Grace Teller's hair."
Mrs. Seymour moved a little uneasily
in her chair.
"Yes, it's very pretty ; but it strikes
me, Frank, you are lately discovering n
good many similitudes betwem Jiios Tet
ter and your pictures."
Frank laughed good-bumoredly.
"Well, mother, she is pretty."
"Yes, I don'l deny tliut she's pretty
enough."
"Now, mother, what's the meaning of
that umbigona tone '(" demanded the
young artist, plcasautly. "What have
)ou discovered about Mit-s Grace Teller
that isn't charming aud wotuauly and
loveable "f"
"Frt.nk, do you know who she is ?"
'1'es, I know that the's a remarkable
pretty yiri, with a voice that sounds es
aatly liko the iotv, soft rivuiet, where I
used to play when I was a boy. '
"Noiisctiae :" said iilra. Seymour sharp-
ly.
"Well, then, if you're not satislied with
her as she is, would you like to know
what the will be '!"
TJis. Seymour was puzzled.
'Mother, I think she will be Oae d.ty
my wife 1" 1
"Frank ! you are crazy !"
"Not that i know of," said Jlr. Sey
mour composedly, squeezing a little deep
blue ou Lis palette out of a dainty tin
tube, and mixing it thoughtfully.
"We know so little about her," thought
Mrs. Scytui ur. "To be sure, she is vis
iting Jlary Eiton, n.iid 21ary bolongs tu a
very good Limily, if she does live iu half
a house, aud take in fine embroidery for a
living. 1'ut then she hits no styla at all
compared with Cynthia I'atker, aud Cyn
thia always did fancy our Frank. Then,
moreover, she Las tivo or sis thousand
dollars of her own. But, dear mo ! A
young man in love is the most head-strong
ercature alive !''
Mrs. Seymour mttse-l a little while long
er, and then put on her mousc-calered
si!t' bonnet and grey shawl and set cut
upon a tour 01 investigation.
"I'll find out something about Mies
Teller, or I'll know the reason why,"
thought the indefatigable widow.
Misu Graeo Tel cr was "at home," help
ing Mary Elton iu an elahorata piece of
Cue embroidery. The room where the
two girls sat was very plain, carpeted
with the cheapest iugraiu and curtained
with very ordinary pink and while chintz,
yet it looked snug and cheery, for the fat
blackbird was, chirping noisily in the win
dow, aud a slind of migLioiiettc and vel
vet blofi.scuied patisios gavo a delicate re
finement to the details of every day life.
Mary Elton was pale, and uot at all
pretty, though there was a tremulous
sweetness about her mouth that seemed to
whisper that she miht have been very
dillercuf uader diflerent circumstances.
Grace Teller was a lovely blonde, with
larf 0 blue eyes, roseleaf skin aud hair
whose luminous ungold fell over Ler forc
. T-d likCaa aureole.
As Mrs. Seymour entered, a deeper
:-.lnde of pink stols over Grace's beautiful
cheek, but otherwise she was calm and
r-e!f possessed, and readily paiicd thj old
lady's interrogatories.
"Very warm morning, this," said the
old lady, fanning herself. "Io they have
as warm weather where you come from,
Miss Teller?"
"I believe it is vtry sultry ic Factor-
ville." said Grace, composedly taking an
other nccdlufull of white silk.
"I'aetorviile ! Is that your native
place? I'erh'ips, theti, you kuow Mr
larkt-r Cynthia Carters lather Who
superintends in the great calico mills
then, ?"
"Very well I have often seen him."
"Are you acquainted with Cynthia ?"
"No I believe MifcH I'arkcr spends
most of bar time in this city."
"That's very true," said Mrs. Seymour
sagtly.
'Cynthia often eaya there's no society
worth having in Factorville only the
girls that work in the Factory aud Cyn
thia is very genteel, isut excuse my
my curiosity. Miss Teller how did you
become awpuainted with Mr. Talker, and
uot with the daughter ?"
Grace colored.
"Business brought me in con'act fre-
ijiieiivly with the gentleman of whom y u
.-peak, but I never happened to meet Mis
t. .
1 f.l-nel.
Mrs. Seymour gave a little start in her
chair she was beginning to sec through
the mystery.
"IVrhups you havo sonic-thing to do
with the ealica factory V
"I have," tuid Grade, with calm dig-
utty.
'A factory girl ?" gasped Mrs. Sey
mour, growing red and white.
"Is there any disgrace in the title V 1
quietly asked Grace, although her owu
cheeks were dyed crimson.
"Iii-grucc? Oh, no certainly not;
there's 110 harm in earning one's living in
an honest way," returned Mrs. Seymour,
absently. The fict was, site was thinking
iu her inmost mind. "What will Frank
?ay ?" and anticipating the flag of tri
umph she was about to wave over him.
T do not hesitate to confess," went cn
Grace, looking Mrs. Seymour full in the
eyes, "that to the calico factory I owe my
daily bread."
"Very laudable, I'm sure," said the old
lady, growtug a little uneasy unditr the
blue, clear ga:c, "only there are steps
and gradations iu all society, you know,
and and I am a little sut prised to find
you mi intimato with Miss Elton, whose
family is"
Mary crime over to Grace's ttido, and
stooped to kiss her check.
"My dearest friend my most precious
c.mpauion," she murmured, "I should be
(prate lost without her, Mrs. Seymour."
The old lady took her leave stiilly, and
did not ask Grace to return the call, al
to
to
tbou-h she extended aa invitation to
Mary, couched in the politest and uioct
diotinet tern.?.
"Frank 1" she ejaculated, never ouce
stopping to remove her shawl or bcutjet.
aud bursting into her son's studio lika an
express messenger of life-aDd -death news,
"who do you suppose your paragon of a
Miss Teller is ?"
"The luvliest of her sex," returned ; programme
Fratk, briefly and comprehensively.
"A factory girl '." screamed
lady at the height of her lung3, "a fao
to ry girl !"
"Well, what of that?"
"What of that ? Frank Seymour, you
never mean to say that yea would hare
anything to do with a common factory
girl."
"I should pronounce her a very -un
common factory girl, mother," said the
young man, with aggrivating calmness.
"Frank, don't jest with mo," pleaded
the poor little mother, with tears in her
eyes. Tell me at once that yon will give
up that idle fancy for a girl who is in no
re.: pect equal to you."
"No she is ia no respect my equal,"
returned Frank, with reddeniusr cheek
and sparkling eye, "but it is becanej t-h
is iu every respect my superior. Grace
Teller is one of the noblest women that
ever breathed this tcrrestial air, as v.cl
as one of the most beautiful. Mother, I
love her, as she has promised to bo my
wife."
lIrs. Seymour sat down, limb, lifeless
and despairing.
"Frank, Frank, I never thought
Sie my son marry a factory girl!"
And then a torrent of tears came
her relief, while Frank went on quietly
touching up the scralet foilage of a fplcn
did old maple ia the foreground of hi
picture.
"So ye i are determined to marry me
Frank, in spite of everything ?"
Grace Teller lad been crying; the
dew was wet on her eyelashes, and the
unnatural ciiiuson on her cheeks,
Frank Seymour came in, and Mary Elton
considerately slipjcd out "to search for a
missing pattern."
'1 should rather think so," said Frauk
looking admirably down ou the golden
hea l that was stooping among tho pansies
"But your mother thinks me far be
low jou in social position "
"Social position be ignored ! What
do I care for social position, as long as
my little Gracio has consented to make
the sunshine of my home !"
Yin, but Frauk "
"Well, but Grace?"
"Do you really love me?"
For ans wer be took Loth the fair, deli
cate little hands, aud looked steadily into
her eyes.
"Frank ,"saLd Grace Teller, demurely,
"I'm afraid you'll mike a dreadful strong
willed, obstinate s?rt of a husband."
"I shou'du' wonder, Gracie."
And so the golden :wilight faded iuto
a purple softer than the shadow of cust
ern amcthysis, and the stars came ou!
one by one, and s'.iil Frank and Graeie
talked on, and still Mary Elton didn't
succeed in Hading that pattern.
Mrs. Seymour was the first guest to ar
rive at .'Irs. itar.dail s select soiree on

"IT WAS MY BROTHER'S!"
While passing along rapidly up King
street, we saw a little hoy seated on a
curb stone. He was apparently about
five or six year old, and his well combed
hair, clean hands aud face, bright though
well patched apron, and whole appear
ance, indicated that he wa3 the child of a
loving though indigent mother. As we
looked at hina closely, we were struck
the heart-broken expression of his coun
tcnanc, and the marks of recent tears on
his check. So, yielding to an itnpulso
which always leads us to sympathize with
the joys or sorrows of the little ones,
ve stopped, and, putting a hand upon
his head, asked what was the n.ati.cr.--He
replied by holding up his open hand,
in which we beheld the fragments of a
broken tiny toy a figure of a cow.

one, will it not?" "Oh!" replied he,
bursting into a paroxysm of grief, "but
thot was little brother Tommy's, and ka
is dead."
The wealth of the world could not have
supplied the vacancy that the breaking of
that toy had left in his little heart. It
was Tommy's, and he wa3 dead !
