•I shan't say 'mustn't' very often dor

prr••d the trembling lips. as they drew up
to the grandmother's, and the smiling face
was dim with tears.
rGod bless you, Elsie, my child.'
And the husband hurried her away.
Elsie ttrymond's future must tell the
story of the past. Both her parents lay
under the spring grass before she had
learned t o know them, and so she went to
her grandmother's bean and home. There
only sunshine lay over her life. The ten
der, indulgent grandmother forgot there
must come en hour S hen the clouds would
rise, arid the great lite storms descend
upon the flower that grew up in such
beauty at her hearthstone.
Elsie had one of those fine, rich, im•
pulsive sutures, that especially require
judicious training. This she had never
received fr m her grandmother, and the
under current of sell will and pride in her
curly girlhood, only revealed themselves
in her impntrence of mild reproof and con
tradictnn.
But usually she was so loving, so gen•
tle, so transparent—and, us I said, her
future must tell her past.
Two years had gone swiftly, happily
by, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond sat at their
breakfast table that morning. The room l i
with its applicances of taste and luxury.
was one of those rare home gems that on
ly an artist can appreciate.
'Alden,' says Mrs Raymond, as she
passed the second cup of coffee, 'won't
you put down that paper and listen to me
a moment. You know that party you
promised me almost a year ago. Well,
I've decided to have it next week. It's
just the season for it now, and we'll make
a grand effort to have it pass off well.'
If Mrs. Raymond had at that moment
looked narrowly at her husband's face,
she would have seen it grow pale at the
mention of the party.
•I'm sorry, Elsie,' he commenced, mo
, vino; restlessly on his chair.
'Now, don't,' interrupted the little wife
quickly,'don't, Alden, say one word a
gainst the party. for I've set my heart on
having it. I told the Campbells, and the
Wildinans about it, more than two weeks
ago, so I should die with shame to post
pone it.'
You shouldn't have mentioned it to
them without consulting me first.' Mr.
Raymond's tones were cold and gevere for
the first time, but his wife would have for.
given them had she guessed the anguish
that lay at his heart.
As it wns, her face flushed with anger.
'Really,' she answered, was n 0.., until
this morning, aware I was responsible to
you. Mr. Raytnonl, for the subjects I
might choose to select for conversation
with my acquaintances. Once for all,
what is the reason you refuse mo this
party ?'
.1 do not refuse it, Elsie, I only ask
you to delay it.'
'And I must and will have it next week
or never. I cannot see why you wish me
to postpone it, unless IL be because you
know the delay will greatly annoy me.'
The young man's face flushed with the
pain her words occasioned him. 'Elsie,'
and his voice was quicker and sterner than
before, 'you cannot move me by these ac
cusations, because you know as well as I
do there is no truth in them. I have some
heavy payments to meet this week, and
that alone was the reason of my request
ing you to defer the matter All I have
to say is you will be quite likely to accom
plish your wishes by presenting them in a
less dictorial manner.
It was very unfortunate for Mr. Ray
mond that he added to his explanation that
last remark, for now he assigned a motive
for the delay, his wife had began to soften
toward him, but that last speech hardened
it aria.
" LIBERTY AND UNION, NOW AND FOREVER, ONE AND INSEPARABLE. "
don't believe a word of what you're
saying, Alden Raymond,' she answered,
pushirpz back her choir, and bursting into
a good of pdssionate tears. 'lf the money
had made any difference, you'd have told
me oefore this day ; and it's only because
you want to mortify me now before the
world, that you are stingy this morning.—

Alden Raymond r
And springing froin her seat, the lady
burst out of the room, and her husband
made no effect to detain her Ho only
leaned his head on his hand, and groaned
deeply. It was the last drop in his cup of
bitterness.
An hour after the young merchant was
walking up and down his counting•room
with restless step and haggard face.
There had come a sudden revolution in
the mercantile world. and his house was
one of the first to feel it. 'There it no
chance to sail clear of this, that I see,'
murmured the young man, as he struck
his forehead. 'A few weeks, and we shall
all sink, I shall be a ruined man, and El
sie—' his face worked fearfully a moment
and then he resumed, 'there is no way to
raise the money, unless—' he stared anx
iously all about him; as though he feared
the terrible secret which lay behind that
'unless' !night have revealed itself, though
it had never crossed his lips and for the
first time in his life his face wore a look of
co .iardice and guilt.
'Yes, I could get it so,' he said, 'clinic,
his head on hands; sand if our alfaira
should happen to take a favorable turn,
could repay the note before any body was
wiser ; 'if not,' and his voice grew li - oar,e.
'the river or a pistol shot would settle it
all.'
'Elsie's little property's ail swallowed
up too. God knoWs I meant to secure it
to her, but there was help for it, and
were she to know this she'd hate eta worse
than ever, and may be I can win une
of the old love smiles to her sweet iips if
—' he did not finish the sentence.
'Elsie, pm, you can give out the invi
tations for your party next week There
is the mon ey which will defray the earn
nos, and Mr. Raymond placed a note for
a thousand dollars in the lap of his wife.
It wits dinner time, and Elsie lii.d all the

proached herself fur the unkind words she
had spoken. • But her will teas unsubdu•

'Alder. shall speak first.'
And he did : and that generous deed
overcame at once all the pride and self
will of the really loving wife.
She sprung up quickly, and wound her
white arms around her hushand's neck
while the thers of remorse and tenderness
swept down her face. .01i, Alden.' she
said 'forgive me for the cruel words I said
to you this morning. I have been sorry
for them. Ido love you better than all
the world beside, and I would not leave
you for a thousand grandmothers. Fay

I will be so happy '
He drew her head to his bosom, and he

he said, •Elsie, once and for forever I for
give you, but I have been very weak, and
I have suffered much this morning. Let
me lay inv head in your lop, and see if I
shall leel better while you talk to me.'
And Elsie sat there a long time, running
her little dimpled fingers through the thick
brown curls of her husband and laying
her cool lip every few moments to his fe
vered fore head chatting to hint in sweet
humming.bird style, of her party, and
what a delightful affair it would be, dream
ing little of the darkness., and sin, and
and shame that was diwing closer and
i closer to their threshold.
It was late in the morning after the par.
ty. It had been, as the young wife had
predicted, 'a brilliant affair.'
And now she walked through the ele-
gant confusion of her parlors, and thought
what glances of administration had follow
ed her during the evening, and how proud
1 Alden would be when he rucouoted to
him the compliments which the guests
had bestowed upon their beautiful hostess
and how she hod inadvertently heard
Mayor llnmlin, who ties pronounced the
most artistic judge in the city, call her 'the

And then he took her in his arms, and
while his heart was wrung with deeper

But this sudden joy, after tho'o hours of

that the seed is not only harmless, but
good fodder for any variety of s.ock.
