Wildei looked down at the flpor again, and sat without replying. . "Can fq aflord the expense ?" inquired his maternal friend. "I'm afraid not." There ; was a depressed air abqut the young, man. Araminta Brown, arrayed in the fine feathers that wake a flue bird, had captivated hisfancy; • nay, wore, she had qualities which, under better training and influences, would have given a preponderating side to her character, and these Wilder had recognized After leaving Mrs. Hardy, he went, home, and in sober communion with himself, recon sidered the whole question. To advance or recede•- 7 that must be decided now. For a time he argued against his friend, Mrs. Hardy, and doubted the fairness of her estimate touch- big the cost of dressing a lady who followed in the wake. of fashion; then, her character for sincerity and, truth weighed on the other side, and certain considerations which she had presented, loomed,up into grave importance. Still in doubt and perplexity, still undecided was our young friend when tired, nature bore him away into dream-land, but did not.remove from thought, the subject on which it dwelt so. intently, was with ,Araminta, and more charmed by his :charmer ; than ever. , ;They ere.wslk - ing.in a, garden .among flowers, she in colors decked as gaily as ,the..children" of spring, and ,sunstuer, awl with ,breath, to her lover r as perfume laden as theirs.. Then they 'were passing, down:the, city's crowded streets, and ever and anon paused to admire the beauti fsl,tkings displayed in .windows. A splendid bracelet,attracted Araminta's attention, and she uttered s,desire to, become its possessor. They e,itered• the store, and soon the brilliant thing ,was glittering on her wrist. Fifty ,dollars was the ,price., As Wilder took the money from. his, purse, and was handinc , it to, the jeweler, a pain of stern eyes looked into his. The jew• elerwas transformed into one of. his n employers and theexp,ressionof ,his eyes made his,hear sink 'She is i your wife?" said the employer EEO In one ,of the,, usual. kaleidoscope, changes that accompany,dreams, our friend found him elf, a moment afterwards, at his desk, deep, in the mysteries of accounts and business. lie was aware of voices near him, in conversation, and understood that he was the subject of dis- 'course. 7,S i hallwe take him into the firm ?" Almost breathlessly he waited for, the. ans wer. It came in these words: '.No; that would be imprudent. : His mar riacre with.an extravagant oirl will involve him in expenses beyond the dividend his interest would yield. Debt and temptation must follow, and we know where they lead. I'm sorry. But the step :.cannot be taken." ','His salary will not support hitrtnow," marked, the, first speaker. .
