thred what mes ric power waa hidden j
within her light slender fingers, that their I
touch ehould thrill me so. A eubtilu
soothing I'd! tetiie seemed to SU M over
me something like tin magic of a moth
er'a song to a wenry child and I slept
When I awoke it was evening, and
my mird was strangely clear; though I
opened my eyes with the consciousness
that I bad w hispered some one's name in
waking. No one was within the room,
but through the lace-draped windows I
saw Lyndon's firm, resting agiiust a
pillar of the porch. Rose sat beside him,
in a low rustic chair She wore white ;
something dainty and misty: and a.? I
looked, Lyndon plucked a spray of
cypress bl Kims, with their light feathery
folitge, from the pililar, aud laid it
gainst her hair ' '
I closed my eyrs and turned my face
away. V. by ?. Was it strange that
Lyndon Should love hi-J wife, and that
wife Rose the qui en of true-hearted
women
I said my mind was clear. I knew
then, for the first time, that I was wildly,
m.tfily iu love with Rose w'uh Lyudou's
Rose !
God knows I never meant it to be so.
I tried to love them alike, as brother and
sister. 1 had been so happy tinder the
delusion that I had succeeded in doing
so, and this was tbe end !
I groped my way to my room, wan
dering if mnrderera were ever more con
science smitten than was I. Lyndon had
always been my friend a friend such as
few can boast. Years before, he had
saved me from a life of misery, and this
was his reward.
I looked out upon the warm, glowing
landscape, and shivered as with cold.
The river sparkled in the monl'ght. and
brought me back a memory of the gip
eey's prophecy I had loved but I
was drifting still rocked -and dashed
by tbe pitiless waves of a bitter, longing
despa r.
There was but one thing for me to do
I must leave Maple River forever. I
must go but wither T O, how dreary
seemed tbe world to me then, how cold !
Two daya afterwards I stood upon the
! porch equipped for my journey. Rose
1 stood near me, her child in her arms ;

What could I tell her ! The touch of

my soul and yet we were so far apart.
'Thank you." I said, at la.-t.
I wailed. I was looking upon her

love, and the memory smote mo as a two
edged sword
I bad taken wilh mo no memento of
Rose. Not a picture she bad touched,
not a trifle which her deft hands had
fa.-liioiied, not a flower which she had
gathered. I do not mean that I was
praiseworthy iu this, for it would have
been torture. I only prayed that I
might forget her, but forgetfulness never
came.
Lyndon often wrote me, and I answer
ed when I could- One day when 1
opened a letter from him, two carl pho
tograps fell from it; one o himself, and
one of Rose. I was thankful for Lyn
don's, and kept it near me always Rut
the other ? 1 think to have looked twii e
into those clear eyes would have driven
me mad ! I could not keep it ; so I held
it into the blaze of the lamp until it was
consumed, and the flames had scorched
my fingers, aud then smiled to feel the
pain
Months passed. I was growing thin
and old. Nothing seem d to interest
me. Lyudou's letters came but seldom
and at last he wrote me of the death of
his boy. My heart ached for him ; and
I longed to be able to comfort him,, but
I dared hot think of Rose iu her sorrow
After a time another letter came, writ
ten in a hand written in a hand so unlike
Lyndon's of old 'I scarcely recognized it
lie was very ill was dying. The phy
j sicians gave him no hop
1 have been ill for a lone time;" he
wrote, "and have learned submission
Only for little Rose, I should be cou
tent ; but it is so bard to leave her so
alone." She will return to her home
when I am gone, but she has neither
father nor brother, and, sometime, may
need your care. Of late 1 have fancied
it was because you loved her you went
away. If it were true I should be quite
coutent, my dear true friend ! But
whether I am right or not, you will, for
my sake, aee she does not need a broth
er's care when I am gone."' '
This grieved jne sorely, sorely ! 4

I waited for a reply patiently, but it
was months before one came. Then T
received a short note from a neighbor and
mutual friend, telling me of Lyndon's
death. He had received my letter, and
unable to answer it. bade his friend to
write me of his unaltered affection, and
wishes for mv happiness.
It was so like Lyndon my dear, tnte
hearied boy J" and the tiding brought me
?ome degree of peace. I nv!e my
preparations fo return to Maple River
for Rose had left and the place needed
my care. After I reached home I wrote
to Rose, assuring her of my desire to be
her fiieud, and she must not hesitate to
call upon mo if she ever necderl my
counsel.
Her mother. Mrs. Dorr, answered the
letter in a chatty and rirher effusive
strain, thanking me for her daughter, and
for herself, urging nr.- to call often at her
bouse ; but never a word from Rose.
Two years passed by. I had not
availed myself of Mrs Porr's invitation;
but one day, when I chanced to drive
past her house, which was about ten
miles distant from Maple River, an irre
sistible desire to see Rose once more
cam:' over me. So I stopped, and as
ceuded the steps of the fine eld mausi-m
which showed some signs of decay,
though the grounds were neatly kept.
1 found Mrs. I'orr in the parlor. She
was a well preserved lady of fifty and
seemed to be a very practical sort of
person. She sent up to Rose of my ar
rival, aud then informed me, in a semi
cotifi letiti.il way. lltat she bad persuaded
her daughter lo lay aside mourning, and
enter society once more 1 h 1 1 called
ju-t in the right time, she said. Tln-re
was a large company nf city friends in
vited to Iter house fur the ra .nth of June
Would I honor lier, nncl become her
gueet also ? And bese followed num
betloss ex-uses I'-tr the very plain man
ner iu which they lived However, if 1
woul l come, they would endeavor to the
best oi their ability to make it plea-ant
for me. Here Rose en'.ere.l and inter
rupted her mother's apnlogii s.

rai her h:id. I wondered if she remem
hered my words when I held it in mine
list. A little flush shot over her face,
and there was a slight flutter of the
white i yeliils, but that was all. She
might hav been weleom ng the mere't
acq'.i tivtanc", but for that. She sat
near me an 1 commenced c inversation in
the hi way, giaceliil aud quiet, though
she did not speak of the past.
Hefote I lelt. Mr Dorr renewed her
invitation. I accepted fur a few days,
and, according to promise, arrived at her
h us about the middle of June.
I found the place quite gay There
was Mr. Algood, an elderly gentleman,
who seemed very fatheily to the lemaiu
d-T of the c mpany, tind very polite to
Mrs. Dorr; Mr. Jierwick, a handsome
and dashing widower of thirty five ;
Agatha Rodney, as stately as ever, and
almost as beautiful , and a lew other
ladies and gentlemen, ordinary in appear
ance, who served as excellent foils for
the more brilliant members of ti e com
pany. I soon began to fear that I had been
too tardy in my arrival for Mr Berwick
seemed absolutely fascinated with Rose,
and was very marked in his attention t
her. I fancied that Agatha di-liked him
exceedingly. I had joined the company
only that I miht have nn opportunity
to wot Rise. I was an awkward lover,
and, somehow, could never bring ahottt
a single trrr a Mr ; while, Mr. Berwick
who was always perfectly at ea-e, mo
nnpolized her upon every walk or ride.
After watching them for two or three
daya. I became fully convinced that
Rose loved him. I would have retu-n-ed
to Maple River, but somehow, I could
not. So I remained, and grew more and
more desperate each day. .
One evening, when I had listened to
the pretty nothings which Mr. Berwick
uttered for the amusement of Rse, 1 be
came h ilf frantic with jealousy, and
rushed out on the porch to sit in the
moonlight alone. I waB scarcely seated.
when I heard a fooistep, and Agatha
Rodney stood beside me.
"Don't look so forbidding !" she ex
claimed, in a low tone, and glancing
about to assure herself that no one was
near. "You bate me ? ' And she sat
down by my side. "I don't love you.
So uo harm can come of this interview "
I smiled a little in spite of myself ; I
believe I admired tbe woman still and
said, "Certainly not," in reply.
Tou love Rose " she began.
I started up.
"There, don't confess it silliness ! Sit
down! frvery one knows.it already. 'I
like Mr Berwi.k "
T "And luVwealth.'' I suggested.
"Certainly," she cooly replied. "Yoo

manner toward all gentlemen, and so he

worship him.'
"Rose loves him " I said.
"I cannot tell, but I don't belie re it.
This I do know. Mrs. Dorr is very
anxir.is for Rose to marry."
"But why T"
"0, because she herself Is engaged to
Mr. Algood, and a'ter their marring,
which is to take place in the fall, Rose
will be in the way You know very
well how it is to have a third person in a
family, for you tried it six months with
Lyndon and Rose ' Don't fltich ! I
know nothing of your experience except
what I surmise. What 1 me an to say
is this. If Mr. Bcrwictc asks Rose to
be his wife, Mrs Dorr will surely urge
her to accept him."
"Whether R-ise loves hi;n or not ?
?utely. Rose would follow her own in
clinations in the matter ! '
"I am no prophet at least where her
action is connected. But we all kuow a
faint heart uevcr conquers. Mr Ber
wick likes me was on tho evo of a pro
posal three , weeks ago. I kuow he is
fickle, but it is bis worst fault."
She flitted away, and I sat for some
time pondering upon her words. At
last I rose and reentered the parlor.
"Mr Castleton," said Mrs. Pnrr, as I
took my seat near Mr. Berwick am)
Rose, "you have not heard of our ar
rangements for to morrow. We pro
pose a. ride. up to the summit of Mount
IL'po., The roads are rough a part of
the way, but the view from the top of
tbe mountain is really grand."
It is, indeed," I replied. "Bat will
we not LCs-d to make some arrangement
about ihc Wrriagea to-night?"
Hardly,'' leturtied Mr. Berwick.
;,.Mrs. Dorr has a I.ir,e carriage, which
will easily carry all but four of us .You
and I each have our hore and lighter
phaeton, and can take a lady apiece."
"A very good arrangement," I ob
served, carelessly. Agatha turned and
looked me full in tbe face, but I did not
need her warning. "Mrs. Authon " I
continued, "will you honor me with your
comr-nwa on4tl. trip V -
I can hardly describe the effect which
my words produced. Mr. Berwick
sprang to his feet, but recovering him
self sat down again A "wide mouthed
smile ' showed itself upon Mrs Dorr's
face, aud Mr. Algond's lips twitched sus
piciously under his white mustache
Agatha linked as though she would like
to pat me upon the head, and the remain
der of the company showed evident signs
of surprise.
Rose only smiled.
"I shall be very glad to accompany
you, Mr. t 'astb ton,' she said.
Next morniiisf. quite eatly, we set
out. I handed Rose into tbe carriage
with a little feeling of pride, and as my
bays were slightly restive, one of tbe la
dies in Mrs. Dorr's carriage n quested
that I should lead the way, as th". Whs
rather timid. 'I readily consented, and
away we sped. 1 be horses were fleet,
but easily controlled by a firm hand, Mr.
Berwick closely followed ns, and I was
glad to see Agatha by his side Rose
seemed to enjoy tbe drive, aud was al
most giy.
In about an hour we reached the sum
mit of the mountain. Mrs. Dorr's car
liage arrived soon afterward, and the
whole party took seats nnder a spread
ing tree, and discussed the beautiful
view. The mountain was steep, though
not very high, and its f.w.t lay a fertile
va'ley. We rambled about for some
time, enjoying t'ie breeze, for the day
-was oppressively warm Our luncheon
was scarcely . despatched, when heavy
thunder-clouds began t form, some above
and some almost beneaih us. . ,
We must return at once," said Mrs.
Dorr, "and there is no time to loose
Some of the horses may be afraid of
thunder, and there is no place of shelter
until we reach the base of the mountaiu."
The ladies made all' possible baste to
prepare for our return. Rose, quite
rtady. stood by my side.' Mr. Berwick
placed Agatha in bis carriage, casting
nmiuocs glances toward Rose meanwhile
i hen he came quickly forward. "
"Rose," he said, abruptly; "Tbe
-torm is about to break, aud as Sir. Cas

They were watching ns from the other
carriage I turned to Rose. I think my
face was wbito.
'"Mrs. Ambon must decide for herself,"
I said, coldly.
Rose smiled and laid her hand upon
my arm.
"I am not afraid to go with yon, Tom,"
she said.
There was a baffled expression npon
Mr. Berwick's face as he turned away,

K meiry laugh broke from the party in
Mrs. Dorr's carnage. For myself, I
wb almost deprious with joy, but Rosa
was trembling, frightened.

and touched her lip with mine before

Medical and scientific authorities
elate that there is an alarming increase
m the demand for opium in the United
States Last year the entire yield of
Smyrna opium, ti e kind used in America
and I'urope, was 500,000 pounds of which
the United Stiffs took 2SC.00O poutids.
An immense quantity cf opium is pro
duced in India, hut it is of a poorer qual
ity and is consumed mostly iu China. It
is stated that the production iu Smyrna
is growing less every year, so that there
is a s rong probability thai the inferior
Indian drug will soon be put into the
market and sold as the genuine. Indeed
there is strong reason to suspect that such
is already the case. Any kind of opium
is bad enough, but the substitution of
that just mentioned for the Smyrna is as
bad as discarding the best Otard brandy
for the worst quality of strychniue whis
ky. Opium eaters, beware!
