Thus it was that Centend took the j cf

like an old tell wether. With me alone,
h-jweyer, he was really on as intimate foot

mind a strong bias. I might have been led

j therefore made this sacrifice to society, but

Paul took the gloves frorr1 me, turned

Paul said no more. He was too kind- (

he spent bU time in the choicest society, j
where he was sure to find the highest cul

"I need hardly say tha Centend went to
Kurope alone. I fcirred away, often heart
pick and weary, till a end Jen turn of affairs
put me in as junior partner of the firm in
which I first entered as humble assistant.

an unsullied name behind Lira, and a prop

each of them So,000. All my brothers were
now settled, most of them in a distant part
of our country, and my only sister, a pretty
little creature of nineteen, was claimed by
me as her eldi3r brother, and head of th?
family.
Then, too, a Lope long cherished, but fre

This was fifteen years a so, be it remem

buy a small house at a moderate price, and
furnish it, without utter ruin, at the uphol

comfortably contained my household goods,
my dear little Susie, and my still more
charming Caroline, was in itself nothing re
markable, but to my e5-?s the abode of hap
piness and luxury.
As it chanced, aboct two months after my
marriage. I met, accidently. my friend Paul

"I am sorry to hear it. are one of

"Stop laushiiig at me. Jack, and give me
tLe best advice as to what I shall do :" and
here Paul, relying on my fa'thtul friendship,
gave me a Jong account of his financial dif
ficulties, for, having spent nearly two-thirds
of his capi'al, his means were entireh' too
limited to suit bis ideas as to what was ab
solutely necessary for a gentleman's decent
appearance.
At this turn of proceedings my wife and
sister suddenly entered the room. They had
been out shopping together, and as they
came into the parlor, animated and bloomy,
ing, I thought I tad never seen two more
lovely or elegant women.
That the srme idea had occurred to Con
tend struck me immediately as he rose to be
formally introduced. A look, which I
knew to be one cf pleasure end surprise, lit
up his fine features, and rendered his fasci
nating manners more prononcet than ever.
Centend stayed to dinner that day, and ate
his beefsteak off English china with such a
relish that "I wondered as I gazed." Per
heps. however, the flavor was rendered tol
erable by the presence of the ladies, who,
being easy in their manners, lively in their
conversation, and. above all, attractive in
appearance, made the meal pass, for me at
least, like a banquet of the gods. When
Paul left that evening, he squeezed my hand
long and hard.
'"Well, by Jove 'my dear Jack," he said,
"I believe you have the best of it, after all.
I can't say -tt.at 1 admire your choice of
houses cr furoiture.butyour taste in women
is without fault- Your Caro-Iina is hand
some enough for a duchess, and thatlittl
blue eyed sifter pf yotirs is as lovely as an
tcgeL "I wish I were a rich man,", he ad
ded, with a great sigh, "then I could be
happy too, and marry for Ipve."
".No, no, that can't be thought of" said
I, laughing. "lou can't afford to marry
for lave. Make; np to some heiress who
wants somebody to help her spend her mon
ey. That is the course for you. my dear
fellow, and the sooner it is done the better
it will be for your pst ket."
I went back to. the parlor, much pleased
with my friend's visit. C.-.roIine and Susie
had already taken Paul into their good
graces, and the warm interest I had so Ion
felt for my old school-mate was soon shared
by both these sympathetic women.
But alas ! for the blindness pf masculine
eyes, P.tul's visit, which risw came on
"fast and furious' ' ostensibly lo consult
me as to his entrance on a business career,
had really another ebjeel r.nd I, foo'ish bat
of a fellow, never siw that it was Susie's
blue eyes that attra.-tcd him, and not our
plain dinners and aiy still plainer talk. I
even laughed at my wife when she mildly
insinuated that sht thought Paul's loots
were wandering and melancholy when our
little charmer Was not within visible dis
tance. "My dear love,' rs;d I. with the know
ing air of a man vlo has been down to the
very roots of human nature, arid knew ev
ery fibre of the sane, "women who think
men like Paul Centend have any hearts to
lose are mightily mistaken. He has been
all over the world and seen all sorts of beau
ty, and come back perfectly heart-whole. It
is not in our little Lack parlor, oTer a pirf
as unsophisticated as Susie, that this man
of fashion is to become spoony. No, no.
Besides, he is cs poor as a church-mouse."
"Very Wc-ll. J.r-k." ia o i'. pk
rriu,r up her mouth, snd looking as
wise as an owl "have it your own way, my
dear ; but remember, if anything comes of
it, I have warned you beforehand. Yoa
forget th.it your friend Centend is a great
admirer of elegance, and every one admits
that your sister is as graceful a she is hand
some; also Mr. Centend never denies him
self any luxury that he thinks suited to his
jxjsition, and as to poverty, he knos noth
ing of ii reality not the ' shadow oi it
haunts htm while he has a peuny he can call
his own."
Still those wnrds made hat little impres
sion, and Paul came and went, as fancy led
him, altogether umpiestioued by me.
It was nearly a year after this that Susie
wa'ked into my room one morning and told
me, lauching and Llu-hinp. that Centend
ha I offered himself, and she had accepted,
him. Had the skies fallen I could not have
lecn more surprised, for Paul, in all his pri
vate confidences, had never approached rhis
subject. Neither was I at all gratified, for,
fond as I was of Centend, I loved my sister
far more dearly, and I dreaded lest the man
she had chf?n should fa:! i:i his daty to
protect her. I immediately, of course,
when it wa too late, did all I could to pre
vent this rrsrriage, which was in many re
spects very unsuitable. Paul was one of
those who should nevt-rhave married at all,
or at any rate entered into the holy bonds
enly under the most brilliant auspices.
' To deny himself of his elegant tastes, to
live tor others and be content fo work and
suffer for them, was something he had nev
er conceived of, much less put ia practice,
and to all snch marriage is. cf onght to be,
impossible. - " . .
"Well, th'ry married, not withstan ling,
and I gave my dear Susie away wit? tear
dimmed eyes, aud more sighs in rn? speech
than congratulations; while my wife, ready
always to look on the bright side, rird make
the best of everything. planned the arrange
ments as well as our limited means would
permit.
And Susie went out into her new "life
with a man she adored, and who foved ber
as Isaac in the simple time? of old loved the
wife whom he had sought so faithfully. But
alas ! for the simolicity of those happier
days; they are gone ncr to return. Flocks
and herds will not suffice the modern re
quirements of taste, neither in the shape
of wholesome proviioos or comfortable
clothing. Furniture, china, and silver
must not only be good, but beautful, artis
tically designed, and very costly; otherwise
they fa"! to come np to the standard that
fashion has erected, and which few have
the courage to rebel agaiust. My views orj
this subject were original, but it was in rain
I endeavored to impress them upon these
my best friends. Paul finally obtained an
office in the Custom House.civen him thro'
the influence of his quondam schoolmate
Wilson, now a flourishing politician ; and
with this to furnish an income, and a really
beautiful home, which he. bought and fur
nished with all that was left of his patri
mony and Saie's five thousand dollars, Cen
tend and his wife began thair housekeeping
experience.
This was the time before the war, and j
bings were not then, as now, at cold prices, ;
but it was painful to see Centend struggling I
under the 'pressure of wants and tastes
which he could not deny or control. Before j
the first year was out there was anxiety j
written tin Susie's rosy cheeks, and Paul, J
who would never deal with any l ut the best j
(that is to say the most fashionable) butch j
ers, bakers and grocers, was bo longer out
of the power of trades-peeple. and trcm- ;
bled at the sight of a bill. Upon coiipar
ing accounts, it was discovered by Susie, '
who. like most women, was the first to see
the need of retrenchment, that their living
aud ours differed much more in expense
than comfort, and our little establishment
being kept by good management on about
half what the Centends expended ; but
Paul's objections to deal in second-class
shops, as he called them, for a time checked
his wife's effjrts to economize. A few years
of this sort of thing and a family of young
children changed, however, the absolute
necessity of the case.
Paul, his love of clesance not a whit
abated, but his purse absolutely empty,
gave up the reins of power into bis wife's
hands and allowed her to manage matfersin
the .only way that was posiLI.j. Centend
never before was given to bursts of ill tem
per, indeed, Ids natural disposition was ami
able, but as thj sweetest wine is said to
make the sharpest vinegar, so Paul, cut
short in bis pleasures, his p;c tiir fancies,
aod his critical apetite was 'it becoming
morbid, querulous ani lault -finding, many
a morning did Susie come rouiid to .ur
house to ."have out" the good cry which she
dared not iuJ'iUre in at home. Many a sut
reptitious trifle for Paul's dessert, or a pres
ent for the children, was conveyed by Caro
line from our domicile to theirs.
But ail things have an end ; Paul's office
was taken from hiui't y a change of political
rulers, and, beset by dans and difficulties,
ill health came upon him (the sure reult of
overstrained faculties), and typhus fever
closed the catalogue of his misforturfe..
When Centend had sufficiently recovered
from his long iilne to look circumstances
in the face, he found himself in a deplora
ble condition, indeed. The war had just
broken out, and swept away the hopes of
happiness of thousands better anchored
than be. What the-i had destiny to offer
