CHAPTER I.
Tbe oug, fUuiin rays ol a gulden
gaosft wrre 8ireaming in through tbe
crimson mained eM windows of
Clarice MountjoyV elegant bondoir,
and lighting up in nubdiied rplcndr
tbe co&tly appliance and luxurious
ornament that filled tbe apartment.
Liefore tbe mirror sat a hanghty,
imperial woman, upon wbo?e raven
black niast-es ot hair, arched eyebrows
of tbe same ebon bue, and flashing
eves of tuidnigbt dark new, tbe rose-
tint from tbe window fell in becoming
addition to ber costly toilet.
A frown rose on ber brow, and
whe tapped her daintily-booted foot in
vexation and impatience.
"To think that after all tbe pains I
hare taken to bare tbe jewels col
lected, I am nnable to wear tbem to
tte only evening party I care a straw
for. Where is tbe use of having
diamonds and pearls if we barn'l a
suitable toilet to appear in ?"
She palled tbe slight silken cord by
her side, whose tinkling summons
brought ber maid.
- relice, 1 most bare my uove-coi
tyoTedTuoIre" for"tbfsTFrenlng,' Come
what will, rut on your cloak and
run down to Madame Ruche, and tell
her I cannot tbink of going without
it, if I must wait nntil 12 o'clock."
Obeuient to ber imperious mistress'
commands, tbe lady's maid departed
to execute ber mission.
"I am determined to wear it, and
my elegant diamonds with it! Sir
Irvine TreeseU shall see roe ia my
vplendor, and be will soon decide that
Knglisb ladies can surpass tbe for
eigners be bas danced with."
She arose and looked searchingly
in tbe mirror.
"People say I am beautiful. Well,
I know I am ; I have every desira
ble feature necessary to beanty, from
my bead to my feet ; but all is naught
to me if it does not win me bis love
tbe love I bave cherished for months
the love I must win, and win soon
to-nigbt !"
Her beautiful lips were parted in a
circle of grateful pride, as her eyes
wandered over ber feet, face and
form.
"Ab. Sir Irvine Tresell, you little
know Clarico Mountjoy would barter
lile, soul, bouor, I bad almost said
for your sake !"
A timid rap at. he door dispelled
ber solid i)Uj, and she turned with a
gesture ot impatience to tbe intruder.
"Liliuv, bow often bave I request
ed you not to annoy me when I am
alone ? You een to bave a singu
larly deep regard' tor this room. Do
yoa waot anything?"
Tbe dark hazel ryes of tbe intrud
er "Liliaa'sbe was called flashed
a moment darkly ; but tbe voice, low,
sweet and modulated, ' replied : "I
am verr sorry if I disturbed you. I
merely dropped in to see if I could be
of any assistance to you in your
preparations for Lady Armstrong's
reception."
A selSsb smile played over ibe
carmine lips of Clarice Mountjoy.
"Ob, will you help me get my moire
fiaitthed, if tbe dress-maker cannot?
I will give you my old blue silk if
yoa will."
Tbe lips ff Lilias Bradley curled
scornfully ; but as before, she curbed
tbe rising anger.
"Thank you, cousin Clarice, I do
not need tbe old blue silk. I will as
sist Felice to finish your dress when
sbe returns, if you must wear it
without fail".
"Indeed, I must, and shall too!
For Sir Irvine Tressell says a golden
moire with diamonds is tbe most be
witching costume be ever saw. Tbe
Princess Louise wore one at a presen-.
tation, and be is constantly remind
ing me bow much I resemble ber."
Lilias made no reply, but gazed
iboushlfully out of tbe window.
"I hope yea are not envious of my
good luck, Lilias Bradley, because I
happen to be an heiress, and tbe fu
ture wife of tbe splendid Baronet,
Sir Irvine Tressell?"
A smile, half-pitying, half-amused,
lighted np Lilias' sweet, pale face.
"On, no, Clarice. I was just won
dering if, with all your wealth, your
aristocratic lovers, and dreams of fu
ture happiness, you were really as
happy as 1."
"As you," Lilian Bradley?"
Clarice almost shrieked tbe words,
so ridiculously diJ sbe regard tte
comparison.
"Yes," returned Lilias. quietly.
'I would not change places for tbe
wcrld."
An angry frown contracted Clar
ice's bite brow.
"Here comes Ft-lice, thank good
ness! Now, Lilia, you will have to
exert every i (fort to finish it by mid
night" "I tbink we ran complete it by nine
or ten; that will give you safGcient
time to dress.
I, too most leave at
SFBOl
TAB I IS 11 ED, 1.8Q7,
that hour, to fulfill my engagement"
A blush overspread iiilias face.
"That poor lover of yonrs sgain to-
nigbt? I should think you'd hate a
man so poor as you say William
Sberrard is. Why don't yon marry
a rich one, who can support yon
handsomely?" ' '
There was a 'contemptuous imper
ionsness in Clarice's tones that
brought the blood rushing to Lilias'
cheeks. ' . '
"Because I never would marry for
money; I will never give my hand to
a man because he has a fortune at
his disposaL - Wealth is a great gift,
bat it does not purchase happiness."
"How do yen know ? You bave
never enjoyed wealth."
A quiet, strange smile ono that
had annoyed Clarice many times
since the orphan Lilias had come to
their uncle's, six months before
lighted tbe sweet face, disclosing tbe
pearly teetb.
"True, I am not in tbe enjoyment
of wealth : yet., judging from your
self, dear Clarice. I should conclude
it did not bring' bliss."
. "Bat it will, when I have o .ce at
tained my object tbe dream I bave
cherished for toe halt year you have
been here. When I am once tin; wife
i of Sir Irvine Tressell, the only man I
ever loved or ever shall love, I tuTy
anything to make me uuliappy. His
love is all I ask."
A bright smile, that made her real
ly lovely, lighted ber midnight eyes
as sbe thought of biro ber iJjI.
. "You've never seen him, Lilias, 1
believe," ehe went on to say. "He
is the most handsome man I ever
saw!"
"I think not.t You know yon re
quested me never to come iu the par
lor when you bad company."
"He is tall, and dark, and very
graceful, and so polite!"
Clarice's voice was enthusiasm
personified. ; :
"Yes, so is my William," returned
Lilias, thoughtfully.
"William !" ejaculated Clarice, in
dignantly, "Wny Lilias Bradley,
tbey are not tu be mentioned in the
same breath !"
' "Cousin Clarice, be thoughtful!
Do not f peak slightly of my betroth
ed husband, because be happens to
be poor."
Tbe gentle bazel eyes were dark
as Lilias Fpoke; but she was answer
ed by a harsh laugh. .
"Nor foryou, because you happen
to be poor, aod dependent uoun mv
charily and your Uncle Peter's"
With a nroud flushing of ber
cheeks, and a flashing of ber eves,
Lilias tossed tbe expensive moire off
ber lap.
"Never bas tbat . been said of a
Bradley before.5 Clarice Mountjoy;
never shall it be repeated. Tell me
with your lips if I do not earn mv
bread and clothes ? Tell me if the
assistance I render to you in every
imaginable way does not merit more
than any servant-woman would re
ceive for services ?"
"Ob, yes, I suppose so ; but, after
all, I can get on as well with only
ielio . Are tou not going to finish
my drestf vo, l.iiias, just this
once, aud I'll confess you are not on
ly maispenbiuie, out absolute mis
tress of the establishment. Please
do, Li, for you know 1 am dying to
wear my new-reset diamonds the
old family fire-diamonds; you know.

CHAPTER II.
"And my darling is willing to iu
trust ber happiness to me, poor and
friendless though I be ?"
Lilias' lover dre her beautiful
bead to bis breast, as be entwinei bis
arms about ber.
"You may be poor aud friendless
in one sense, William, but are you
not wealthy in my love: Will not
our Lome, if not blesstd with all the
luxuries of ticbes, be abundant in
peace and contentment ?"
"Spoken like a dear, true little
woman you are ! And now, dearest,
I must impose my first command up
on you Will you obey ?"
lie smoothed ber hair playfully c(T
tbe clear, white forehead, aud glanc
ed mischievously in ber deep, true
eyes
"On second thought, I think I'll
tell you first what I desire you to do.
Listen, dear Lilias, and blush as
much as yon please; but don't turn
your face away."
And, in truth, the pink tints were
already coming and going on cheek
and brow.
"Lilias, darling,' and his voice
grew strange and earnest, "we must
be married to-nigbt. No, do not
start ; not for worlds, unless yoa wish
it ; but I have certain particular reas
ons for it, to gratify which would de
light me beyond expression. I bave
get an Archbiebop's rpecial license,
and bare made all ibe requisite ar
rangements." '
' For a moment Lilias buried her
face against bis shoulder; then she
lifted it. rosy and happy, to tbe dark,
flushed one bending over ber.
"A week can make no difference,
William. I bave tried you aod
proved you; we love each other fond
ly. William, I will be your wife to
night" His baudsome face lighted op
with a proud, triumphant smile, and
be kissed ber fondly, just as ap
proaching footsteps warned tbem.
7 "Lilias, Lilias wbere is tbe key of
I'ucle Peter's safe? I want tbe
diamonds; it is high time I was off,
and Sir Irvine Tressell never likes to
see a lady later tban ten." ,
Clarice eame rapidly down the
stairs to the apartment where iu the
bade, Lilias and her lover stood.
Sbe coold not see them at all plainly,
for tbe gas was turned dowu to a ta i
ligbt darkness.
"On tbe ebouv cabinet in my room,
Clarice." "
As Lilias replied, Clarice frowned
in displeasure.
It seems to me,. Miss Bradley, you
bad better invite your followers into
the breakfast parlor another time.
Tbe drawing-room is intended for the
lady of the bouse remember."
Lilias made a careless curtsey.
"Uncle Peter is master, not you,
Clarice. 1 shall use tbe drawiug
room jtLst as long as bo sees fit."
"Yoa are a bold minx, and shall
be turned out of this bouse, as sure
as tbat my name will be Ladv Tres
sell." '
Clarice Mountjoy ascended tbe
steps again, while Lilias deprecating
ly explained and apologized to her
lover.
"Never mind, dearest," replied
William Sberrard. "In our new
house sbe shall not annoy you,
whether she bo Lady Tressell or
anybody elss."
"Pcor girl, she does not enjoy life
very much. STTe is in love, hopeless
ly ia lore with tbis Sir Irvine Tres
sell yoa heard her mention."
"Who is ho, do yen know ?"
"I have never seen him; I never
bave cared to see anybody since I
knew you, Will."

"And now, Lilias, darling, I will
wait here while yoa get ready tor a
riiiiet wedding at the church, wbere
all things are waitiog, for I knew you
would eonfnt. Send Uncle Peter
down; I wish to talk to him."
lie kissed her 84 the leu him, so
hitppy.'and with the same pcu'itr
smile playing on ber lips.
"The uoble follow !" she murmur
ed; "bow impaiiect I am to tell him
my secre:!"
W lib rose-linged cheeks, and a
proud consciousness f beauty in ber
saophire eves, sbe hastily made her
toilet ; smiling tba while, and anon
trilling a liillc air that relieved her
full heart.
It was a heavy dead feilk of rich,
golden-whiie that she wore, aod over
it a filmy lace robe, tbat floated like
a cloud about her (lender form.
Arouud her neck abe clasped a neck
lace of rarest diamonds, and fastened
a coronet about the veil tbat rested
among ber sun-bright curls.
"He will be so surprised," sbe re
peated joyfully, as over tbe maguin
cent bridal costume she put a plain,
unpretending muslin robe, simple and
sweet.
Down tbe stairs sbe went, and in
to the drawing-room, which, now
tbat Clarice bad gone, and I'ctle
Peter entered, was a blaze of light
"Lillie, darling, you look a very
angel! My bride, my little treas
ure !"
"And you, William you are
dressed fit for a queen's levee! Whv,
Will, I am afraid you coold not af
ford ibis expensive wedding suit!"
She Washed, as if conscious of
saying more tban sbe should have
doo, fratey-caghi hitr.Jiands- and
laughed gayly.
"We will economize after to make
up, pet. Come, Uccle Peter, yoa
must give the bride away."
Together tbe two entered the car
riage in waiting, and drove rapidly to
the church.-where at tbe altar, tbe
clergyman stood ready to unite
tbem.
Tbe ceremony was brief, and Li
lias beard but little of it, sbe only
understood that sbe was being mar
ried, and to ber cbosen one.
ine congratulations were over,
aod the party re-entered tbe carriage,
Unclf Peter, returning home.
"William, may I tell yoa a little
secret, the only one I ever kept from
you tbe only one 1 ever will ? See,
my husband ; see my wedding-garments."
She threw aside the disgusting
robe, and displayed ber elegant cos
tume. In amazement he gazed at
her.
"Silk, laces, diamonds! My dear
wife, I do not comprehend."
A delightful Fmile answered him ;
and then sbe spoke: William, you
did not take a penniless wife. You
have married me for myself, not my
money, for I am wealthy, dearest ;
tbe sole heiress to the great wealth
of my deceased parents. Uncle Pe
ter is mv guardian whom I desired
should appear to own tt3 estaie,
while 1 personated the orphan niece.
a dependent on bis bounty. I feared
my wealth would allure those who
otherwise wonld not have cared fur
me, but now I bave found yoa, my
dearest husband, to be all I can de
sire. We are rich, William, inde
pendently rich."
"Lillie,." he murmured, bending her
bead te his shoulder, "my Lulie,
this is indeed a surprise. But what
ot your cousin Miss Mountjoy ?''
"She is an adopted child of a
friend of mine, who, on her death
bed, gave her to my mother. Poor
Clarice, also, will be penniless unless
she marries her rich lover, Sir Irvine
Tressell."
William made no reply, for the
carriage stopped at a rplendid man
sion brilliantly lighted.
"We will alight here for a few
moments, and then I sball bear you
to your future borne. Come, darling,
let me te'l you my secret now."
Her shawl being removed ia the
dressing-room, sbe was joined at tbe
door by ber husband.
"Lili is do not be surprised at any
thing you may bear. Will you prom
ise:"
"I will promise but I am bewil
dered. Whose house is this whose
guests down stairs ?"
"A friend of mine, dearest Lilias.
Lady Armstrong, who holds a recep
tion, is tbe hostess." .
"And Cousin Clarice is here."
said Lilias, "and I shall see her
lover. I am ready, William."
Sbe glanced into his face.- His
eyes were overflowing with merry
mischief, and bis cheeks were flush

the stairs they went, and to tbe djor
of tbe crowded reception-room.

ber husband's face. She met an as
suring look aod whimpered, 'Don't be
vexed, my darling.'

his presence was unknown to her.
A half-hour afterward, some one
tapped him on tbe shoulder with a
fan.
"Sir Irvine TressdM, I am glad you
are here at la-t You remember the
dance you are engaged to me for!"
She smiled brightly upon him, but
he bowed very gravely.
Miss Mountjay will be good
enough to excuse me. I am already
engaged for tbe entire evening."
lie spoke coldly, almost sternly,
and she raised her eyes to his. Tbey
were regarding her intensely ;and a
vague fear that, after all, she might
loose him, stole over ber.
"Miss Mountjoy, will you take my
arm a moment ?"
The iavitation was brief and cool ;
but how delightedly sbe accepted
it
' I have a friend I must introduce
you to. Yoa will find her a lovely
woman, as beautiful in mind as in
person."
He led her to a solitary figure, who
leaned against a statue in tbe deser
ted music-room.
"Miss Mountjoy my wife, lady
Tressell, late Miss Lilias Bradley."
With a shiver of helplessness,
Clarice gazed upou ber cousin's
HiisheJ, beautiful face, aod with a
low cry of angti'sh, covered her face
with her fan.
Sir Irvine gaze! sU-rnly upou
her.
"You will regard uiy wife as a fit
uccup.tnt of a breakfast parlor, togeth

turn ber out of ber own bouse,
wherein you are tbe dependent char

be Lady Tressell ? yoa have merited
your reward, Clarice Mountjoy, and
when 1 tell you what my wile, ia ibe
goodness of ber heart, would never
tell you, tbat tbe very diamonds you
wear are hers, you will learn to be
more kind, more human, toward
tbose in a humbler station than your
self." Clarice bad beard him through,
silent and motionless; and, when be
had finished and given his arm to his
beau'.iful bride, she bowed a haugh
ty acknowledgement, swept proudly
from tbe room, and entered her car
riage. That carriage never carried
her borne. Whither she went or
what became of her, they never

"Man is what a woman makes him."
said Rousseau, himself a respector of
tbe sex ; and tbe records ot history
contain numberless examples of wom
en who have supported their husbands,
or brothers si tbe crisis of their lives.
John Stuart Mill said be owed every
thing that was excellent ia his writ
ings' to the " influence " of hfs wife.
Thomas Carlyle gave similar testi
mony. John Flaxman tbe sculptor,
bad made con sidet able progress in
his work when be married Anne Den
man, a noble spirited, intelligent wom
an, full of love for art, and with an In
tense admiration for him as an artist
It happened that soon after the event
be met Sir Jo6bua Reynolds, in bis
opinion uo man could hope to become
at artist who did not devote himself
entirely to art, and who bad not stud
ied patiently and reverently tbe works
of tbe great masters in Italy itself.
He bluntly told Flaxman tbat be was
rained for an artist Flaxman went
straight to bis wife, and said to ber,
"Anne, I am ruined f-r an artist"
"Who bas ruined yoa, John?" she
asked. "It happened in church," he
replied, " and Anne Denman has done
it." He tben told ber what Sir Joshua
had said, and added, ' I should like to
have been a great artist" "And sc
you sball b, and go to Rome too. if
tbat will make yon one," said the res
olute woman. " We will work and
economize. I will never bave it said
that Anne Denman mined John Flax
man for an artist" And so tbe brave
couple did work and economize. Tbey
worked patiently and hopefully for
fire years, never asked help from any
one, and at last went together to
Rome, wbere Flaxman studied and
worked to such purpose that be achiev
ed both fame and competency. His
success was not shared to the lull,
however, by bis faithful wife, for sbe
died many years before him. Thom
as Hood gave a touching tribute to
bis wile's excellency: "1 never wai
anything, dearest, till I knew yoa,
and 1 have been a much' better, hap
pier, and more prosperous man ever
since. caterer may befall me, tbe
wife of my bosom will" bave the ac
knowledgment of ber tenderness,
worth, and excellence from my pen."
Many other instances might be enu
merated ; but we bave touched upon
sufficient to prove that a good wife is
God's best gift to man.
A Htraag Bird It lory.
L. Page and son, ef San Jos, Cali
fornia, were cutting wood near that
place, and for several days noticed
tbat a number of birds remained con
stantly npon a tree near tbem. Upon
cutting down tbe tree, tbey discover
ed a hollow cavity, some twe feet in
length aud three or four inches in di
ameter, in which were two full grown
birds of some goodly sized species
There was a small apparatus through
which the birds were supplied with
food by their mates. Tbe limb was
cat and the birds liberated. Tbey
were neither of tbem able to fly, hav
ing evidently never been oat of their
imprisonment. How tbey came in
side is a question. It is probable
that tbe mother bird was small,
though able to make ber nest lo the
hollow of tree and rear ber young,
could not extricate them, and tbey
did not gain strength enough to help
themselves nntil tbe hollow had so
clof-eJ tbat escape was impossible.
Tbey bave been fed from their fallow-ti:ds
through the aperture ia tbe
limb of the tree. A nobler instance
of devotion even the human family
never exhibited.

Tom Darcey, yet a young man,
had grown op a very bad one. At
bean he might bave been all right ;
but these being wrong tbe whole ma
chine was going to the bad very fast
though there were times when tbe
heart felt something of its old truth
ful yearnings. Tom bad lost his
place as foreman in the great machine
shop, and what money he had now
earned came from odd jobs of tinker
ing which he was able to do, here
and there, at private houses; for Tom
was a genius as well as a mechanic,
and when bis head was steady
enough he could mend a clock, or
clean a watch, as well as be could
regulate a steam engine and this lat
ter be could do better than any other
tnaa ever employed by ibe Scott Falls
Manufacturing Compaoy.
une aay i om naa a job to mend a
broken mowing machine and reaper,
for which he received five dollars ;
anuon the following morning be
started out for his old baunt the vil
lage tavern. He knew bis wife sad
ly needed the money, and that his
two little children were in absolute
suffering from want of clothing, and
tbat morning be Lei J a debate with
tba better part of himself ; but the
better part bad become very weak
and sbakey, and the demon of appe
lite carried the day.
&o away to the tavern Tom went.
wbere for two or three hours, he felt
tbe exbilirating effects of the alco
holic draught, and fancied himself
bappy, as be could sing and laugh
but. as usual, stupefaction followed
and the man died out He drank
while be could stand, and tben lav
down in a corner, wbere his compan
ions left biro.
It was late at night almost mid
night, when tbe landlord's wife came
into the bar-room to see what kept
her husband up, and sbe quickly
saw Tom
"Peter," said she, not io a pleasant
mood, "why don't yoa send that
miserable Tom Darcey borne ? He's
ben hanging around here long
enough
Tom's stupefaction was not sound
sleep. Tbe dead coma had left bis
brain, and the calling of his name
stung bis senses to keen attention
He bad an insane love for mm, but
did not love the landlord. In other
years Peter Tindar and himself had
loved and wooed the sweet maiden
Ellen Goss and be won her, leaving
Peter to tale op with the vinerary
spinster who had brought him tbe
tavern, and he knew that lately tbe
Tapster had gloated over the misery
of tbe woman who had once discard
ed him.
"Why don't yoa send him home ?"
demanded Mrs. Tindar, with an im
patient stamp of her foot '
"iiusn, Betsy I He's got money,
let bim be, aod be II be sure to spend
it before he goes home. I'll have the
kernel of the nut, and bis wife may
bave the bask!"
With a sniff and a snap Betsy
turned away and, and shortly after
ward Tom Darcey lifted himself upon
bis elbow.
"Ah, Tom, are yoa awake?"
"Yes."
"Tben rouse np and bare a warm
glass."
Tom got upon bis feet and steadied
himself.
"No, Teter, I won't drink any more
to-night."
"It won't hurt yon, Tom just a
glass."
"I know it won't!" said Tom,
buttoning np his coat by tbe only
solitary bntton left "1 kaow it
won't"
And with this he went out into the
chill sir of night When be got
away from tbe shadow of tbe tavern,
he stopped and looked np at the stars,
and then be looked down upon tbe
earth.
"Aye," he muttered, grinding his
heel in tbe gravel, "Peter Tindar is
taking tbe kernel and leaving poor
Ellen tbe husk, and I am helping bim
to do it I am robbing my wife of
joy, robbing my children of honor
and comfort robbing myself of love
aod life just tbat tbat Peter Tindar
may have the kernel and Ellen tbe
host ! We'll see !"
It was a revelation to tbe man.
Tbe tavern keeper's brief speech,
meant not for his ears, bad come upon
bis senses as fell the voice of tbe Ris
en One upon Saul of Tarsus.
"We'll see!" he replied, setting bis
feet firmly on tbe ground ; and then
be wended his way homeward.
On tbe following morning be said
to his wife :
"Ellen bave you any coffee io tbe
house T"
"Yes, Tom." She did not tell him
tbat ber sister bad given it to her.
Sbe was glad to hear him ask for cof
fee instead of the old, old cider.
. "I wish you would make me a cup,
good aod strong."
There was real music in Tom's
voice, and the wife set about tbe
work with a strange flutter at her
heart
Tom drank two cups of the
strong, fragrant coffee, and then
went out went out with a resolute
step, aod walked straight to tbe man
ufactory, wbere be fotuul ir. Scott
in tbe office.
"Mr. Scott, I want to learn my
trade over again."
"Eb, Tom ! What do you mean ?"
"1 mean tbat it's Tom Darcey,
come back to tbe old place, sskiog
forgiveness for tbe past, and hoping
to do better in the future."
"Turn !" cried tbe manufacturer,
starting forward aod grasping bis
band, are yoa in earnest 7 Is it really
the old Tom ?"
"It's what's left of bim, sir, and
well have him whole and strong
very sooa if youll only set hira at
work."
"Work ! Aye, Tom, and bless you
too : There is an engine to ue aei

"Ab. you heard what I said to my "
