I had come, so to speak, as far :is any one so repressed could come out, but I miht aa well have stayed in. I only sat in corners, talked with the chaperons, or listened to some garrulous octogenarian. Aunt UrowneV interest in me, such as it was, died a natural deatli after my first season it had always been weakly and the result was a sad deficiency in my wardrode. She had married off two daughters with out diflkulty, but a niece, it seemed, stuck closer than a burr. However, it was not my fault that I remained unmarried. I had done my best to be fascinating. Though I ha'.cd the idea of marrying fur home, or position, yet I was sure I should not und it hard to love one who was kind to me, if only on account of the novelty. I was thirty now, and not unused to hearing charges runs ui.on the old maid, and the beggars who shouldn't be choosers by my younger cousins, Susette and Anne. I'.ut I had had one opportu nity to change for better or worse of which they had never ureameu. l he son of Aunt Drowne's second hus band, Gedric Urowne, had asked me to marry him, three years before, a we rowed up the river in June for the rosy laurel blooms, to decorate the house and piazza for Susette s birthday fete. I sometimes wonder ed what Aunt Browne would have thought of the proceeding, as she had set her heart on marrving Su sette to Cedric Perhaps I refused him because I was taken unawares, because I was not enough interested to care about frustrating Aunt Browne's plans ; perhaps 1 did not expect to be taken at my word, but imagined it the proper way to de cline, in order to be importuned, I believe all my favorite heroines had conducted in" this wise. However, wc rowed home through the sunset, our boat heaped with pink Hower3, in silence. "You look aa if you were laden with sunset clouds," said .Susette, who was watching for us on the shore; but I am certain that Cedric looked like a thunder cloud. The next day was the fclc. Eve- ,-1 rA tr l.rrmfrlif Tirpcfinfa t"-irSnfdtf 1 , 1 V V i , yAvrv.B...v J ....... A . f . .- --.-. Cedric brought her an antique neck lace ot torquoises : 1 was sure he had ment it for me. Wc had sup ped out-of-doors, under the great pine trees, and dancing by moon- idit. That day I began to rcsrard Cedric Browne attentively. I had known him under the same roof for some weeks at a time ; I had laugh ed and talked with him, believing him fore-ordained to minister to tu sotte's happiness, "as inaccessible as a star in heaven," so far as I was concerned. He had helped me with Adele's children, who come to live it Aunt Browne's when their moth er diet!. But that he should regard me with any tender emotions I had never dared" to wish. In fact, I had thought little about him till to-day, I had never observed till to-day that his eyes were as tender as stars, that his face was like that radient count enance of Mozart in the music-roam, that his smile was simply enchant ment It was rather late to make these discoveries. He did not leave us at once : it seemed as if he stayed just long enough for me to know all I had lost Since then he had been with us once again for a whole month ; but little Walter wa3 ill with a spi nal affection tltai kept him on his back, and me by his side; and though Cedric used to relieve me of ten by day and by night, I could ec c from my window and from occciuon al glimpses into the drawing-room, that the balance of his time was spent in Susettes company. "Aunjt Susette's beau is going to make me ft kite," Teddy contided to Walter one day. 'Who', lie?" asked Walter, from his bed. "Why, Cedric, of course Cedric Browne. Bridget says eo herself," as if that put the matter beyond dis pute. The next day, when Cedric came un to amuse A alter with the atiairs l' il.A .,11. . downstairs mak yvuui uunanuiu , "I 6ay, are you weallv Aund Su- seet 8 beau, Cedric 7 Adricnnc s ever so nice. When I'm a man I shall marry Adrienne." "Then you'll be luuth luckier than I," said Cedric, winding up a top, and spinning it on his palm. It was a 3'ear since then. I no longer went out; I was fairly paisec. Aunt Browne had abandoned all hopes of me. I was a good nursery maid, a cheap governess, and an in expensive companion, in the family. In the meantime I could have mar ried any day, if 1 had chosen to ac cept the llev. Abel Amherst, aud transfer my labors to the parsonage To be sure, this would not have proved the brilliant marriage my aunt had expected of me, nor the romantic one I had dreamed of my st If, and it was not until I came in to possc-sion of a certain family se cret, that I began to revolve the pos sibility in my mind. It seems that when my aunt rnarried her second husband, Mr. Browne, Susette and Anee were both Lowdls, they had subsisted upon the patrimony left to Cedric by his own mother, and that after his father's death, Cedric had turned in the same yearly income from the estate for tlio family use, and that I, Adrienno Lennox, owed my daily bread to the man whom I had refused, and who had forgotten me. Earning my own livelihood, was out of the question, drudgery j was my only vocation, and that was too badly paid to bo encouracing. I looked at the lie v. Abel Amhcn often at this period, with a view of installing him into Ccdric's place, if U'dnc would only vacate, ulad enough, Mr. Amherst renewed hi; suit at this tunc, and lires.sins: it with the eagerness of a lover, and for the first time I began to hesitate. The woman who hesitates is lost," said .Musette. I had been out on the hills one day trying to m ike up mv mind to forget Ccilnc, and marry Mr. Am herst ; but whenever I began to think with some interest of going to parish meetings, becoming the pres ident ot Dakota Leagues and sew ing circles, visiting the poor, drink ing tea opposite the liev. Mr. Am herst all the rest of my days, some how or other, Cedric's face would slip into the picture uninvited, and blot out his nvai s as strong sun light fades a negative photograph. There is a letter for you, Ad rienne," said Aunt Browne, when I entered the hoiicc, "in the music- room, on the top of the dado, under Mozart's picture.'" I went into the isic-room, but there was no letter to be seen. "Perhaps one f;f the girls has re moved it," she suggested. '"But no one else has meddled with it." "Grandma ejuked a letter over the tea-kettle," said little Freddy, reflectively. "Yes," said grandma, 'T wrote a letter to your pa, child. I hadn't any blotting paper out the lire an swers the purpose nut as well." At that time I had never hoard of ojening letters by steam. Well, wc ransacked the house for that truant letter, but all in 'vain. "Where was it from aunt ?" I asked. "How should I know, child ?" "But the hanwriting the post mark ?" "The postmark was blurred." "Had it a foreign stamp ?" I ask ed with a sudden eagerness. Cedric had gone abroad some months be fore, and I had not heard of hi.? re turn. "A foreign stamp ? No. Were you expecting a foreign letter '?" "X-o; butit is the unexpected that always happens, )'ou know." "It's awfully provoking," paid Su sec te. "Perhaps it was only the rec ipes Mrs. Clarke was going to send you." "Nothing more likely ; but what has become of it ? It's a prolonged game of hunt the thimble. " "And supposing it's i letter noti fying you of the existence of a first Mrs. Amherst," put in Anne, "or a legacy left by your forty-fifth cousin in Australia!" And then the door bell rang. Well, after that I suppose I have accepted Mr. Amherst, rvbodv behaved as it I had. ceiyed congratulations and a and the parish began repairs the parsonage, before I could muster courage to tell Mr. Amherst all about Cedric and my mistake, r.nd now I wasn't at all sure I could ever get over it, and care for anybody else, but that I would do my best. And he smiled in a sort of absent way when I told him, but seemed content to tike me a3 I was for bet ter or worse ; only it did strike me sometimes that he was the most un demonstrative lover in Christendom; but I hadn't much experience in lovers, and perhaps tlicy weren't as gushing in real life as in novel pic tured. He used to kis3 my hand when we parted ; that was all. He was very gentle, but a little sad, I fancied, with a look which might mean that he was afraid of so much happiness, or that to marry the wo man that he loved wasn't all that fancy had painted it; and some times I thought I had perhaps done wrong to tell him everything about Cedric so unreservedly ; yet I had only meant to be honest But the day was appointed, and suddenly Cedric appeared among us, when I thought he was at the world's end, and he and the girls decorated the littie church with white field daisies and grasses for the occasion. 1 ou may believe that I avoided the sight of Cedric in the interval before the wedding as much a3 possible, but somehow I was always stum bling upon him ; ho seemed to be perpetually at my elbow ; he sur prised me more than once with trac es of tears upon my face : the sound of his voice made my heart turn and quiver within me. If I had dared to withdraw at this juncture, I'm afraid I should have done so ; but it was too late ; and though I felt like a hypocrite whenever Mr. Amherst appeared, Iiis look of sober satisfaction, which reminded me of those lines of Matthew Ilovden on Sir Phillip Sidney : "A full assurance given by looks Continual comfort in a face, The linetuenls of gospel books," might have taught me that all was well with him. "You arc the oddest sweetheart I must re- nng, upon ever saw," gossiped Fuselfe. "I wouldn't give you a tiiaw f.jr sU'. li a lowrjand as for you Alrici.ne, you resemble a ghost more than a bride." In short, a thousand years of pur gatory would ill represent mv suf ferings during those last weeks be fore my wedding. W ell,' to crown the whole, Aunt'Brownc said Cedric must give me away ; he was the on ly man relative, the head of the fam ily, so to'spoak, 'and he could do it so admirably. . "Wo shall see,", said he. "I'm afraid I should make a poor figure at giving Adrienne awav ;" and he stroked his trte moustache aa he spoke, and looked at me just as he looked that day when we gathered the laurel for Susette's fete I could nave sworn ne uiu. a man t nn s er, for fear my voice would be husky, and the tears would start. The wedding was to be quite pri vate only relatives. Aunt Urowne arranged everything to suit herself and the proprieties; it didn't Xecome a clergyman's bride to make a great parade. At the church, I remember, my veil caught in the carriage door, and an orange blossom tumbled from my wreath, which Cedric pick ed up and wore in his button-hole . . . ........ w 1 lie n he drew mv hau-lneless arm within his, and directly the. Wed ding March pealed fortli in great re sounding waves ol . melody. My grandmother's India muslin blew out in abundant creamy folds be hind me, and Cedric and I were standing before the altar, and Mr. Amherst was reading the marriage service, I believe that Aunt Browne faint ed, or she would have forbidden the bans "You sec, it was impassible for mc to give you away, Adrienne," said Cedric, later, when we were steam ing out of town. "Amherst is a trump ; and may he find a wife as sweet as Mrs. Browne ! If it hadn't been for him, I should have been of all men the most miserable to-day. What tlo you think ho did ? Why, he wrote me all of that sad little story you thouzht right to tell him, and added that ho would not deny lie was making a sacrifice ; 'that in renouncing you, he renounced ail that made life lovely to hiia, except his v.-ork ; yet he felt it was better that one should fail of a heaven on earth than that two should suffer ; and that, if I loved you. as I had once said, would I take his place at the marriage, and allow hiin to sol emnize it ? It was a whim of his to have it so, 'to avoid explanations,' he said. I couldn't believe in my luck, you know, Adrienne. We bandied letters to and fro, canvass ing the subject. "I reared "he had made a mistake, as I had renewed m v' offer some little while before, but had received no reply ; still a dozen things happen to letters every day." "e, and something happened to urs," I said. Years after, when Susette and Anne were married, when Adele's husband had taken the children home to a new mamma, and Aunt Browne had cone to "the land of the hereafter," when Cedric was pre- panr.'j- the old house for a summer residence .in ripping away the ancient dado in the music-room, which had always warped away from the wall in warm weather, leaving a little crack, the carpenters unearthed my letter.

The innocent, surprised, inquir ing tacc renunciation was indeed, difficult for John Burrows.. He touched a dimple in her cheek, and then a curl of her hair, a.s ho might have touched flowcra on a grave, perhaps. She shook back the silky ripples impatiently. " "When, John?" lie looked at her for a momL.it without a smile, pretty as she was. "Nelly, sit down here for a moment." They sat down on the pretty crimson couch before tho fire. See ing trouble in his face, she put her hand in his.and he smoothed out the little rose-leaf member upon hi3 broad palm, more than ever confi dent, as ho looked at it, that he was right. "Xellv, you know I lovt you." "Yes,'' with a blush, for he had never said it before. "Ami I am very sorry." "Why," after a pause of bewilder ment. "Because vou are a delicate little flower, needing care and nursing to keep your bloom bright; and I am going to a hard, rough life, among privations, fever, and malaria, which will try even my powerful constitution, and where you must not go." "You are going to the Far West?" "Yes. My mother must have a homo in her old age. She is strong now, but time is telling on her. Y'ou know all that she has been to mc?"

"Well, grumbled Jones, "I would not have closets full of things mil dewing for want of ware if 1 was a woman, that's ail. A penny saved is a penny earned." That was in April. One warm day in May Mr. Jencs went pranc ing through the closets looking for something he couldn't find r.nd turning things generally inside out. "Maria!" he screamed, "wherc3 my pray r.lj ica duster ?" ""Made it over for Johnny." "Ahem 1 Well, whereas the brown linen one I bought last summer?" "Clothes-bag," mumbled - Mrs. Jones who seemed to have a diffi culty in her speech at that moment "Just made it into a nice one." "Where are my lavender pants ?'' yelled Jones. "Cut them over for Willie." "Heavens !" groaned her husband then in a voice of thunder, "Where have my blue suspenders got to !" "Hung tho "baby -jumper with them."

You were a little school girl when I saved you from drown ing last summer, and vour satchel of books fioated away uown the riv er and was lost. I came here to see Gregory, not you. i could not help loving you ; but did not think un til to-night that you cared so much for me, Nelly. But, child you will forget me." "Never !" He went on. "Nelly, I shall hunger for you day and night, more and more, as time goes on and I get older, lonelier, more weary. But I shall never hope to see you again. Now give me your hand." She gave him both, lie raised them to his lips, but before she could speak again he was gone. Shivering violently, she went to the fire, and stood there trying to warm herself. She understood it all now his strangely elaborate arrangements for a trip to New York. He had known that he was not coming back when she had beg tred him to bring her his photograph from the great metropolis, but was going on on into the dim dis tance. This is why he had not promised. It was getting late she was so cold she had better go to bed. She would not go into the parlor to bid her father and aunt, and Gregory good night ; so she crept silently up to her own room. There the very weight of grief upon her lulled her to sleep. But when she awoke, her grief sprang upon her like some hidden monster who had lain in wait for her all night. Her misery terrified her. Why should she not the? Why should she ever rise from that bed ? But when they called her, she sprang up hastily, dressed and went down stiirs, and they were too busy talking to notice that she diel not know what she was tloing. But, by aud by, when her brother reached for some more coffee, and observed "John Burrows and his mother went to Xew York on the first train this morning," she tried to rise uncon cernedly from the table, and fell in a dead faint on the carpet among them. When Xelly came to, she was un dressed and in bed,. and Aunt Mary was darning stockings at the foot ' "Oh, let me get up, Aunt Mary ! I don't want to lie hre !" "Xow, Nell, be reasonable ! You're sick." . "Oh, Aunt Mary, I m not." "Nelly, if you will lie still to-day, I'll let you have that old box of cu riosities in my room to look over. Will you?" "I don't know." Aunt Mary went for them. Nelly shut her eyes and let the wave in all its bitterness surge over her once ; when Miss Goldiug came back, bringing a box of old mahogany, black and glossy with time. ' "There !" setting it on the bed. With a wintry little . smile of thanks, Nelly lifted the cover. The old mahogany box contained strange things. Pictures on wood and ivory, illuminated manuscripts, webs of strong lace, antique ornaments, an cient embroideries, great packages of old letters, scaled flasks ot unfa miliar perfume, ancient brooches of red gold, finger rings of clumsy-set gems tied together with faded rib bons, a knot of hair fasteneel togeth er with a golden he?rt, the silver hilt of a sword, and lastly, a tiny octagon portrait of an old man, done "Who is this that is m ugly, Aunt Mary ?" "That, thcvs.iv is my greatgrand father, Nelly." "What is it painted on this queer stuff?" "Well, it is a kind of leather, I be lieve. They used to write on it in old timc3." "He is uncommonly ugly, isn't he ?" swid Nelly, wearily. As she spoke, the littlo case fell apart in her hands. A yellow, fold ed paper was revealed. She opened it, and saw that it wa.s written ur on. "Why, bles3 my soul, what have you there?" exclaimed Mis:i Gold ing, rising up in a strange alarm. She snatched it from Nelly's hand. "It can't bo the will!" She cri ed. Nelly looked on in dumb surprise. Aunt Mary read a few words, then rushed away in wild agitation to the library where her brother was sitting. Nelly could hear them talk- j ing, the two ; then her brother came, ! then tho old house-keeper was call ed from the dining room ; and so much confused talking she never heard before. By and by, they all waited upon her in a body. "Nelly," said her father, sitting down upon the loot ot the bed, you are an heiress." "This is old Grandfather Goblin's will 1" exclaimed Aunt Mary, nour ishing the bit of paper. "It seems that he was very eccen tric," Gregory condescended to ex plain. "He was very rich and had some hard sons and some grand sons who promised to be harder, and he fell out with tho whole sot, who were waiting for him to die. lie declared that no money of his should encourage the young people's excesses ; a little poverty would help the family, and the fourth gen eration would appreciate his money, and probably make good use of it.

One is a bald-headed man A rather unusual case of poison ingby nicotine has occurred lately tn a Paris suburb.- The victim, a man in the prime of life, had been cleaning his pipe with a clasp kuiie ; with this he accidental!' cut one of his fingers subsequently, but as the wound wa3 of a trivial nature he paid no attention to it irivc or six hours afterward, however, the cut finger grew painful and became much swollen ; the inilammation rapidly spread to the arm and shoul der, the patient suffering such in tense pain that he was obliged to betake himself to bed. Medical as sistance was called, antl ordinary remedies proved ineffectual. The sick man, questioned as to the man ner in w hich ho cut himself, ex plained the use to which the pocket knife had been applied, adding that he had omitted to wipe it after clean ing his pipe. The case was now un derstood, and,, the patient's state becoming alarming, he was convey ed to the hospital. There tiie doc tors decided ampliation ol the arm to be the only hope of saving the patient's life, and this was immedi ately done. The Surprised tctc ii. A deacon going out of praycr mccting one evening, said to a young man standing on the porch : "Good-evening, friend. Do you live in this vicinity ?" "Yes, sir." "Ah," Baid the deacon ; "where do you attend church ?" "I come here sir." "How long have yow attended this church ?" "Well, sir, I should think it about U years." It was not strange that the dea con said afterwards that this was a good lesson for him.
