The next day was the day of her ball.
Fred did not come to see her. But it
was just as well. • She was so busy; and,
besides, he would be' sure to come early
to the:ball in the evening.He came very late.' Tom ' Otis and
his , friend Gordon had been there dan

, Fred entered the ball-room, and the
first person he saw was Edith -RowSon.
:Witching little creature ! How piquante
she looked, in her clouds of tulle and
her coral ornaments! He!instantly re
membered, that she was engaged to him

up star's, but there need he no cessation
of the festivities.
Up stairs her maid met her and caught
her in her arms just as she was on the
point of falling:
'Why, Miss,' she said, li4sw pale you
look ! Shan't some onego for the doctor?'
No; no doctor. Miss Warburton says
no doctor can help her.
In the.morning Fred AVery reviewed

'Was I insane to act as I did ? Is there
a fatality - which drives' one from a

He shuddered with disgust.
'But.l. will see her,' he said; 'tell her

all my folly. She loves me, I know.
She will not refuse to see me.'
He went at once to the house. Miss

He wrote this note, and sent it :

The answer came very promptly. It
was, but one word : 'No.' •
NO more flirtingnow froth Fred Ayery.
No ; but,there is Lethe in the wine-cup,

Down, • he goes, sinking steadily
from one grade to another until he has
reached the lowest. But long before
this Stage his former friends have 'cut
Min,' and in the fashionable circle,
where he was once a brilliant light, his
name is almost forgotten.
Mrs..Mtirburton wondered if her
daughter had forgotten it. She knew
Fred Avery once , proposed to Florence,
and'that she rejected him.
'Do you think • Florence ever loved
him?' asked Florence's aunt or her
- sister, Mrs. Warburton.
'Ne'Ver. She never mentions his
name, and she wrote 'No' to 11 im when
he proposed to her." • •
One day they were at breakfast, and
they read in the morning paper of a
handsome young man who, crossing
Broadway in a state of intoxication,'
was knocked down by a heavy truck
and killed.
'What name?' asked Florence.
, • 'Frilperiek Avery.' . ,

• Florence said nothing further: -..

'I cannot say,' she replied.
In less than a month Florence was
stricken with a fever.

An anniversary came, and found Flor
ence still alive. It was the anniversary
of the ball which took place five years
ago-.
Just as the clock pointed to the hour
when ; Fred Avery came that night, so
late, and meeting Florence in the hall
way, whispered in her ear, 'How dearly,
I love you!' she turned to her mother
and said : ,
`Mother, good-bye: Come, dry your
tears. Kiss me good bye, dear mother;
I am dying!'
That night she died, whispering :
`Bury me by his side.' •
A Strange Presentiment.
About forty years ago, in-the western
part of New - York, lived a lonely - wid
ow mother. Her husband had been
dead many years, and her only daugh
ter was grown and married, living at a
distance of a mile or two from the fam
ily mansion.
And thus the old lady lived alone day
and' ight. Yet in her conscious inno
cence and trust in Providence she felt
safe and cheerful, did her work quietly
during the daylight, .and at eventide
slept sweetly.
One morning,' however, she awoke
with an extraordinary, and unwonted
gloom upon her mind, which was
irn
pressed .with' the apprehension that
something strange was about to happen
to her or hers. So full was she of this
thought that she could not stay at home
that day, but must go abroad to give
vent to it, unbosoming herself to her
friends, espedially to her daughter.—
With her she spent the greater part of
the day, and to her several times repeat
ed the recital of her apprehensions.—
The daughter as often repeated the as
surances that her good mother had nev
er done injury to any person, and add
ed, "I cannot think any one would
hurt you, for you have not an enemy
in the world.
On her way home she called on a
neighbor who lived in the last house
before she reached her own. Here she
again made known her continued ap
prehensions' which had nearly ripened
into fear, and from the lady of the man
sion she received- answers similar to
those of her daughter, " You have
harmed no elle in your lifetime, surely
nn onciwill molest you. Here, Rover,"
she said to a stout watch dog, that lay
on the floor, " here, Rover go home
with Mrs. Mozher, and take care of her.
Rover did as he was told. The widow
went home, milked her cows, took care
of everything out of doors, and went to
bed as usual. Rover had not left her
for an instant. When she was fairly in
bed he laid himself down upon the out
side, iino o:the widow relied , iipen

time iii the night "s awo e g
startled, probably, by a = slight noise
outside the 'house. It was so slight,
however, that she was not aware of be
ing stained at all, but heard, as soon as
she awoke, a sound like the raising of a
window near her bed, which was in a
,room on the ground floor.
The dog neither barked nor moved.—
Next, there) was another sound, as if
some one was in the Own and stepped
cautiously on the fibor. The woman
saw nothing, but noNV,, for the firsttitne,
felt the dog move, as he made a violent
spring from the bed, and at the same
moment something fell on the floor;
sounding like a heavy log, Then fol
lowed other noises, like the pawing of a
dog's feet ; but soon all was still again,
andlhe dog resumedis place on the
bed without having baked or growled
at all.
`Phis time the widow did not go to
sleep immediately', but lay awake, suff
ering, yet not deeming it best to get up.
But at last she dropped asleep, and
when she awoke the sun was shining.
She hastily stepped out of the bed, and
there lay the body of a man, extended
on the floor, dead,.with a large knife in
his hand, which was even now extend
ed.
The dog bad seized him by the throat
with a grasp of deatb, and neither man
nor dog could utter a sound till all was
over. Phis man was the widow's son
in-law, the husband of her only daugh
ter. He coveted her little store of
wealth, her house, her cattle, and her
land ; and'instigated by his sordid im
patience, he could not wait for the. de
cay of nature to give her property pp to
him and his, as the only heirs apparent,
but made this stealthy visit to do adeed
of :darkness in the gloom of the night.
A fearful retribution awaited him.—
The widow's apprehensions, communi
cated to her mind, and impressed upon
her nerves by what unseen power we
know not, the sympathy of the woman
who loaned the dog, and the silent but
certain watch of the dog himself, form
ed a chain of events which brought the
murderer's blood upon his own head,
and which are difficult to be explained
without reference to that Providence
which numbers the hairs of our heads,
watches the sparrow's fall, and "shapes
our ends, rough-hew them as we will."
—Harper's lVeekly.
A STORY FROUPAnis.,-AParis letter
tells the following story of a Twelfth
Night fete in that city: A wealthy
family in the aristocratic boulevard
Malesherbes were amusing themselves
in seeking the Knight's portion, of the
ring in the festival cake, when a lady of
the company says to the hostess:
`I wish my portion to be given to the
poorest little boy we can find hi the
street.'
The servant was dispatched on this
freezing night, and not fir from the
house lie found a ragged urchin, trem
bling with cold and hunger. - He
brought him up, was ordered into the
saloon, where a thousand lights glit
tered, and a sparkling. lire gladened and
surprised him. He drew his portion
the benevolent lady had promised, and
as luck would have it, the little fellow
found the "ring". . (beans they use in
Paris instead), and, of course he was
"King." They all shouted out that,
being a Bing he must choose a Queen.
lie was asked so to do,
and looking
round the company, he chose the very
lady who proposed to cede her 'portion
of the cake. He was asked why, he
chose her. He said :
ilon't know ! she looks the mos
like mother!
'Mother! whose mother?'
, `My mother! I never knew her, but
was stolen away from her, and here is
her portrait!'
With thiti he drew from out his rag
ged coat a likeness which proved to bp
that of the very Im,ly herself, who, in
Italy, had her child stolen from her,
and now he turns up a poor' little rag
ged Savoyard, dragging along a miser
able existence in Paris, while his moth
er, by all intuition, perhaps, felt that
in the air near to where she was was
one so hear to her.
