BT ESTHER BERNE. I tell y i will te impossible for me to so, was Ruth Morley's decided answer, as she plucked to pieces a beautiful crimen flower, which her companion had just presented ner . . - I know you have told me so once or twice;" returned Paul Upton, good humor11y, "but ladies have so many ' whims now a days, that it isn't best to take the find answer, nor perhaps the second as derided." ' ; " " ! . "Well, take it or not, just as you please; By mind, at least, is - made up." -And Huth petulantly buried her small feet in mass of dead hives. " Well, Ruth, had I guessed tbe fate, of that unfortunate flower, I-6feM have Kept it; well, I wish Otj had."" And as a blast oE the cold north wind? at that moment rattled the dead leaves at her feet Ruth shivered and turned tipon her' homeward way. . , - Her thoughts, as She walked slowly through the desolate fields,' vrhich in the summer time had looked so ' lovely, "were not enviable ones by any . means. Twice f tfcriee upon her 4wajJ home sae turned itha-hatt' inteatfeo otfgoing 'baekto tell Paul that sbe, wonbl attend the party his sitervva ths:'nignt,'but then pride came to her aid. r v, , , ...

'..'- J 'f1! you've cot home at last, have you?"' How little Ruth started, and how her pollen castlos shivered and fell to pieces t tie stand If that Toice, andat the sight if that great, coarse, red faced woman. "Yts, I've got hoo.e," was, Ruth's sullen answer, to her s-tp-mother? salutation. "Well, you inisrbt as well .speed the li!c day out of dcors, as fur the work uu do in the house. . Now make baste aiid sot the table, and make vourself uselul for one minute.' ll.eie was no answer to this, but Ruth's faH expressed defiance asplainly as if she Is a 1 replied in words. The chilly, uncon fortable evening drew on. In a corner bv themselves sat Huth and Uirry, the latter restless as ever, and both sullen and sile:t, for theirstep-moth-Tf t loud voice hi.ed the whole room. It as the usual way if spending the evening" in their uncomfortable and unlovely bou;e. Harry was more than usually Tet.'es and depressed that night, for all tiaJ gone wrong with luin the last two or three diys. Ruth was thinking somewhat litterly ol Mr. Upton's brilliantly lighted nx-nis, of the gay company, the animated f,tces, and, must we conies? it? yi Paul Upton, whom her little heart cared frent deal more about than it Would adfc.it even to itself. 'feme out, Ruin, and walk with mo I have something to tell you," whispered Harty, at length, as howrafter hour passed y, and J.oth grew more restless. Rath "ce aith alacrity, resumed the bounct and aal which she had thrown over a chair, titl in an instant stix-id rilr tnon Thpc lssei cut unmole.-ted, and for a moment ' Muul utuietided as to which way they should turn their steps. Then, impelled H an ii ristible imrnlse. Ruth turned oaruMl,e toot path, which as she i t . well would lead them in sight of Mr. U'n's house. Hairy walked by her N'le, silent as ever. Ruth minded not that 'tie ct-ad leaves and the withered grass C'trpcd her clothes, nor that the wind felt B 'te chilly aud uncomfortable thau ever. ! th lrotl.tr and sister were too full of J'Jghts to heed the weather.

She brushed away from her forehead the rich, dark hair With a disdainful motiom She recollected" now that some one had Ofiee called her witch--like and -'wierd-iike; " witchMike iotived. she mi look when compared cwith the lovely fctangfer within; rDut TheA "llnihs

She imagined to herself the scorn with which she would Teeeive his advances;'when suddenly she shiicfred as in an ague fit. A casnal glance aUthe window- had shown her Paul atid'the strange lady gazing out Into the nfght,:' and in an Instant Ruth imagined she Was s discovered.'1 'T But the next moment The idea1 seemed v absorb, for the two had passed from the window, and were now lost to-sight. " " ' ' 5 T Harry, wtib had fnrgofrcn every tiiing in his admiration of the lovely stranger, was now awakened-to life by Ruth's shiver. "Why, Ruth, here ynu are cbilied through J aAd deaf inc. how thin your shawl is. ' How imprudent of us lo stand so long here.' Rut hat was such' a beautiful picture, Kuthy.' And Harry laughed and then sighed atlhe recollection. ' Ruth made no answer; only clung tighter to her brother's aria,' and they turned back into tbe solitary night. Away from the bright wiodows, and Harry's gloomy thoughts returned. He broke nut abruptly: ' Ruth, I am going to tbe city to seek my fortune, as many better men than 1 have done. I shhll die here, leading this inactive life. Have you anything to say against this plan, Itnthv?" "Nothing," said Ruth, 'excepting that I shall go with you.' "Nonsense, Ruth! Of course, it will bo impossible for you to go. What would you do when you got there?" 'Try my fortune writing for the newpapers. And if I succeed, as of course I shall" and heie Huth affected a merry tone "and if you get steady employ ment, what a pleasant home we could make by ourselves. Nobody should know whore wc were until we got rich and famous, and then we would ride home in a coach and four, and create a nine days wonder. Harry smiled at the pleasant vision, aiid then relapsed into a deeper fit of musing than ever. Hut before they had reached I home that night, it was decided that they should go to the city to seek their fortunes. And so it happened that one cold, raw morning, before most people were up, Harry arid liuth stole like Iwo guilty things through the garden gate, turned to take one last took at the little cottage and the desolate landscape, and then leaving the old thins behind,1 their feet were treading new ground, and their ces were looking upon new scenes. - "Well, what news, Harry?'' asked Ruth as she busied herself putting tha finishing touches to the table, set for their even in ir meal. . , None," said Harry, moodily playing i with his kntte and fork, utterly regardless of the nice supper which Ruth had been .; at ut'l1 pains to prepare for him. 'l lave heen all uver the city to day,"' continued Harry, 'and have offered myself office-boy. or porter, or almost anything I'" nobody seemed in wabt ot me. Kuth, . .- ... - it the wurst eonus.ro the worst, shall wet go back or starve , "fctarve, said --lluth, decidedly. 'Rut you will try ajaitr to-morrow, Harry, and perhaps you will succeed better. See what 1 got here you feball take them to some publisher to-morrow.' And lluth held up three tr four rolls of paper, upon which she had busied herself the last two or three days. Some days passed away. Ruth's manuscripts had befin offered for sale. Some had been rejected and some sold well, but it was rather discouraging and iwortifvingj work, and noor Harrv Jnm1il mm lli:inl .t iro toll IJmti t .a ;,Antru iV. r.. i r

But Ruth laughed, at.his anxietyreminded. him tbat,winter( was a bad time ,tq get cured ot a fcougb. and declared that in the spring she should be as well as usual. There was a knock ,at their door one evening, and as Harry, opened it()ie, encountered his employer, Mr. Lane, and a lady.whom Mr. Lane, intrpduced as. his daughter. Poor Harry stared in the ut-

most astoDishuient,..and then blushed a great deal morehan.th to warrant, for "in JVIisa tha occasion seemed s Lanei he recogsight if the' lady, crimsoning violently from t Xctte'ment. and ,tben suddenly she Sank Back upon her seat, a death like pallor crept "slowly'bver her iace ahd then there Was a loud cry from Harry. 1 From Ruth's mouth thete issued a crimson stream, and her eyes were closed," as if in death; 1 . " Week succeeded week,' and the genial days "of spring canie: slowly on. Ruth wouhi recover the doctor had "said so. And pbor Harry was wild with delight, and worked harder and' more manfully than ever." Ouring ltuths illness he had been promoted tos the position of clerk in Mr." Lane's Store, and every evening he had the privilege of entering Mr. Lane's house, for there had Ruth been removed at the commencement of Iter illness. Yes, Ruth'wuuld recover, but she must be tended with great care aud truly no sister culdr have watched over and nursed her more carefully than had Miss Lane through "those u any weeks. And Huth fell very graieful, more so than she could exprti-s. She no Jonger felt hardly', towards Paul Upton she had grown very quiet and gentle, altogether to quiet aud gentle, Miss Lane said: Rut our poor little heroine was not perfect by any means. She wished it . bad been any one else but Miss Lane to whom she was indtbled, and she loiived to get away, and live a quiet life again with Harry. Miss Lane's lovely face sometimes gave her a ery p:iij(ul sensation. "My dear little liuihH said Miss Lane, one day, when for the twentieth time Ruth had declared that she was strong enough to co awav, and for the twentieth time Miss Lane bad deflated that such a thin was impossible "we are to have a visitor 1 to-day, and 1 want you to look your prettiest. If you behave yourself well to-day perhaps I shan't object to your going uway by and by." 5 Afternoon came, and with it tbe visitor. Now Ruth hadn't cared one snap about the mysterious persons, and scarcely looked up when the visitor entered the room. But how she started when her eyes encountered those, of Paul Upton! How quickly a beautiful color flashed over her pale face, and hbw, bard she strove to keep down tbe words of welcome that were on her toncue. It was provokinj that Miss Lane was called out of the , room just at that moment, and that Ruth was obliged to entertain bet visitor. Paul seated himself most boldly at her side,, aud then he began to talk "to her just as he used to iu the old limes. Ruth felt uncomfortable she wi.-hed Miss Lane would come back! and take care of this troublesome visitor So you dear, silly, independent little j you have got yourself , fly, what a cobweb you iuto! A cobweb! What could be mean? , Why, yes, a cobweb," said Paul, laughing. "Here has my . cousin, Sophie Lane, woven her meshes about you, and here are the rest of the spiders come to enjoy the feast.'' ... "Sonbie Laue. Paul's cousin!

Mr. Shoupwas a gentleman of fine business abilities, and, at the at the same lime, maintained the reputation of being one of the shrewdest politicians and best Representatives the county td" Franklin has ever had. Early in life, Mr. Shoup died in your city oT strangulated hernia, leaving a widow and a large family of children, and a reputation whith I made his. death mourned .by the Uganda throughout tins whole valley.
