Lilly palter snow white hand, sparkling with rings, with half playful vexed motion in his. " That's not the question at all. My be throthed husband—the man who is to be hon ored with this hand, which you will persist in holding so firmly—don't squeozo 14-so hard, St. James—must give me his solemn• word of lion or that from this moment' henceforth, not a drop of wino shall over pass his lips. I will never have my life endangered by that spark ling serpent." " My darling Lilly, you do not discriminate. There is wide difference between . the tiny glass of champagne, taken among a, gay social cir cle. and the far grosser and more injurious stimulent, which has become anecossity to the wretched victim of intemperance." " I make no distinction," said Lilly Brooke, firmly. " You do not know, how fatal and in sidious an enemy tis that one glass of ruby wine ; and in my eyes, one glass is as • obnox ious as ten thousand l" St. James Effingham drew up his magnifi cent figu're with indignant pride. " I 'under stand what you mean, Lilly," he said " but, believe me, there is no danger. Do you give me no credit for no self-control—and no judg- Merit whatever? I should despise myself," he exclaimed in a tone of unutterable hauteur, "did I not know when to stop." "Do you promise?" Lilly simply replied. " You show little confidence in the morel strength of judgment of him who is to be your future husband," said St. James, much piqued " Dear St. James," said Lilly, pleadingly, as she drew nearer to him, with a soft tinge of crimson on her cheeks, "do not let too dispute longer on the subject. Only promise me, dear est." " Well, then," said Effingham, smiling in_ voluntarily, although he had resolved to he very stern, " I promise, you provoking little witch j are you satisfied now ?" " On your solemn word of honor ?" "Oa my solemn word of honor:" Lilly was so smiling and radiant, her hap py triumph at having carried her point, that St. James stooped his tall head to kiss her bright lips, and secretly thought: what a hap py dog I am to call,this beautiful little crea ture my own:" No sacrifice :whatever could be tod great to lay at the shrine of. her per emptory little will, and so Mr. Effingham thought. And who will venture to blame Lilly for thinking, as she stood at the satin-draped win dows' watching her departing lover, that he was the noblest and handsomest min in the whole world ! Do not all maidens think so at the same time of their lives?"

ME " Nn !" exclaimed Altamount, arching his eye in extreme surprise. " No,"- returned Effingham, somewhat em barrassed. " The truth is, that not one half hour ago, I promised my wife, that is to be, never again to drink a glass of wine, and I must keep My promise." • "0, nor said Altamount, laughing. "So you begin to feel already the galling yoke of Hymen in spite of the flowers that cover it ! What tyrants these women are !" St. James made some slight reply, but iii his secret heart he was irritated, both with himself and Lilly,• Perhaps he thought she had been arbitrary and unreasonable. Beyond all reason the handsomest couple at Mrs. Granger's grand seirce that night were St. James Effiughrun and Lillian Brooke, and many an envying and admiring glance was cast on them as they passed. in the crowd.— Love, youth, wealth and heauty—every cir cumstance was tinged with the brightest cal cur (lc rave for their young eyes. While they were standing together in alcove. full of blos soming myrtles and creamy roses, reposing' from the fatigues of a brilliant waltz. Dance Gossip in the refreshment saloons was busy about her affairs. Where are that devoted couple, Effingham and Miss Brooke?" inqured Bell Stanly, dashing young coquette; who, rumor whisper ed, had been intensely disappointed at losing the brilliant Effingham for herself. " Oh, talking sentiment somewhere," replied Mr. Altamount, who was helping her to Char lotte de Busse. "By the way, I must tell you something glorious about St. James. Would you believe that his inamorata has exacted the solemn promise from him, never again to touch wine?" "You don't tell me so ?" said Bell in sur- 1212 It's a fact—l heard it from St. James himself." "What a fool !" said Bell, curving her scar lot lip contemptuously. • " I'll wager that I , make him break his promise before an hour has elapsed." "flush, hero ho comes," said Altamount, as Effingham entered the room, on some mission from Lilly. Dell's large eastern eyeS were bunt fully on his face, and le could not help pausing to exchange a gay word or two as he passed her. She instantatenusly assailed him with reproaches for his neglect of her. during the whole evening. " Don't you think I ought to inflict some se vere penance upon you ?" " I trust you will not be ton severe," h. gai ly replied, " I am sensible of nay error." Then she murmured, with a softened lustre in her ktparkling eyes, " we will seal your par don with a glass of clitnprigne."c,„ ;i: ."

" Your .be trethed cannot-trust-yen- with out promis9 := a„ fine sample- of the petticoat government you' are hereafter to. t . le. 'favored with." . . Mr. Effingham made no reply.. 4e;lefthim self in rather an embarrassing- situation - and he heartily execrated that anonymous promise. " Just one glass," pleaded his lovely tempt ress, as he.,still hesitated. . • "You are an absolute savage, St. James," said Altrunount, ".to refu'se it from such a hand." Alas ! bow easy it is to yield. In' that •sin-, gle moment of uncertainty St. James was lost. He took the one sparkling glass from the dark eyed Circe, and in an instant the small visible barrier erected to stein the tide of his fatal pro clivity, was swept away. As he placed the empty champagne glass on the table, his startled vision met the grieved, reproachful gaze of Lillian Brooke's deep blue • eyes. She had entered a moment since;, and. now stood at his, side, like a guardian angel.— But lie felt that Bell's searching glance wae on. his very action, and ho recklessly exclaimed: " You will pledge me, also, Lilly ? Nay, do not look so grave; surely a hasty promise is better in the breach than in the observande." But she had turned from him and glided si lently from the room ere lie could follow. Sad and bitter wore her reflections, as she sat in her own luxurious chamber at hoine. The red glow of the clear fire in the grate and the moonlight radiance of a single perfumed taper, burning through the transparent urn of an al abaster lamp, fell on a troubled brow and tear thl Poor Lilly; rose-hods in her hair were not yet withered, the diamonds were yet flashing on her breast, yet the sweet blossoms of hope were dead forever. Her sorrowful resolution was soon taken.— She felt that she could never place all the Wife's confidence in one whose resolves were so feeble-90 easily broken. She knew that wine was her rival; that when a solenin promise Was thus unheeded all the restraints of pro-. thence or destruction would be of little avail. And so, although it was like the tearing asun der of soul and body she laid her dead and bu ried love . in the sad mausoleum of the past never to rise again. It was a mournful night. The perfumed light waned low, flickered into darkneis, the bright fire died . out into ashy chillness and gloom, and still she sat there, her fair young head drooping, round snowy arm, all einem-. scions of the progress of time. And when the cold graylights of dawn began to penetrate the silken curtain of the casement, she felt that the life was past. "Mr. Effiaglittin is below, ma'am,': said a servant, the next noon, as Lilly sat, pale and exhausted, in her apartment, "shall I . sayyou,.. are not well ?" " Tell him," said Lilly,—‘!l will write a message." And she hastily inscribed on a card tho thllowing words: " The broVen promise of last night has placr ed an impassable gulf hetiveen us. Hereafter our paths through life lie in far different di rection:;, for I cannot trust one who is false to himself. Farewell, forever.. LILLY." ; St. James read the fatal sentence with a sinking heart; yet in spite of an aconsingcon seionco he-strove to think himself aggrieved. "Woman's caprice!" he Muttered fiercely.'— '• I was a fool ever to trust my happinesS in her keeping. However this freak will not last long, ami, for the present, if my presence is so disagreeable, she shall not be troubled with it." Ile left the house, and the estranged loVers never met again. - • Years passed by, Lilly's health, which had began to fill from the excitement and distress of mind, Arai finally restored on the change of air and suene consequent on removal to anoth er city. Gradually the'deep scars ot.her sor row healed up ; gradually the memory of Ef fingham became like a distant, dream. Sho wedded one in the happy occupations, of wife and mother, forgot the early incidents of her girlhe . ed. • • • Meanwhile Effingham had wasted away his fine fortune by a course of reckless extrava gance and dissipation,' and gradually sinking from his position in society, had bacome mere wreck of his former self. He • also had left his native city, and for years his name was never mentioned among those who had been once hip friends and associates. .

'So, to the. hospital I went, although attend], I was una ble to be of any use to the poor fellow, who was dying when I arrived." "What was the matter ?" inquired Mrs., Woodham. "Why, it was a bad case of delirlum tre mens, but I think that long exposure to this bitter weather was the more immeditite cause, acting upon an uuderminded constitution. It was one of the saddes examples of intemper ance I ever saw—the unfortunate men raved wildly and unconneatedly,• yet in language which led me to suspect him to have been or dinarily, far above common class of drunkard.
