It was a pretty little house, Lily Lodge, llampstead, and tho Miss Winthrops were two pretty girls one fair, thoughtful, with deep blue eyes, that were all gontleucss who never spoke a word of reckless uiou riment, uever uttered a syllable which could wound tho feelings of others; Clara, the younger, a dark, merry bruneUc, with laughing eyes and laughing teeth, all joy and thoughtlessness. Never were sisters more unlike, and yet ' Though both ucliko, they still ars like ia this I hey both are rotes.' 'The two roses' was indeed a name which the pair had obtained among their Iriei.ds. Two years ago the Miss Winthrops cceutied one of tho largest houses in 11 j do 'ark Gardeus, and Clara Winthrop was anticipating with eager joy the de.ights and dissipations of her lirst scasou out. But the tinaucial basis upon which the Hyde Path mansion of the Winthrop fam ily rested was in the city, aud in anuumcky mouieut Mr. Winthrop's city speculations failed, and the Hyde Park mausiou, so far as concerns the family in whom we arc now interested, fell to the ground. Mr. Wiuthrop himself did not long survive his mis fortune. long, protracted anxiety baa told severely upcu his system, and when he was broken financially, he discovcicd that ho was shattered physically.

Mr Jtffery bad, he said, just the house for Mis Wiuthrop aud her daughters, bis owi; but it was now without a tenant; aud list Mrs Wiuthrop saw auythitig which suited her better, bo must request her to occupy if. The bouse in question was Lily L xie, llampstead. And there Mrs. Wiuthrop aud her two daughters, 'vith a uephew, a sailor who had just returned from a live years' cruise, a great favorite with tha family, were staving. Mit-s Clara Winthrop was quite correct in giving her sister to uudcrsiaud that Mr Jeffery was approaching. In a few minutes be was auuounced; and as Edith rose to receive him a blush came across that fair face, and there was a slight tremor iu her voice as she said: I am so sorry, Mr. JeSfery, mamma is not feeling very well to-day; but 1 wilio and tell her you are here.' And Edith Wiuthrop was on the point of leaving the room. 'My dear, was the reply, 'do not trouble yourself. Glad as I always am to see your mamma, I came here to day to have a few words with you alone. May I have them, i..i:.i,'' Miss Winthrop knew well what was coming. It was not the first time, if the truth is to be told, that Mr. Jtffery had come to see Edith alone. Clara, as it happened, was quite right; there was a great deal more in her impeachment thau her sister bad chosen or seemed to allow. She had known it for a long time; and Mr. Jeffery had for a long time, too, takeu no pains to conceal what his feelings were toward the daughter of his old friend. In all his life, till now, he had no time for love. His years had been spent in work, work, work. He hsd made for himself no home; he had do family. And uow that be could allow himself some pause, he had suddenly discovered a well-spring of new feelings in his breast feelings of whose existence he never dreamt. It is not true that sentiments which are long repressed must ceae eventually to exist. Oil the contrary, it is this mere fact of repression which often causes them to assert them selves, though late, as strongly as they do. Mr. Jeffery was what some persons might call aa old man; yet no youth not that lad of five and-twentv who had iust come from sea could have been more heart and j soul wrapped up ia Edith Winthrop. j Gradually she had become part aud parcel!

She bad said she loved Mr. Jeffery, and she had spoken the strict truth; but was it the love which a wife should bear toward her husband? Aud yet could husband ever be found more noble, moro self-denying? And as she thought of this, the burden of the old song, 'An O d Mau's Uaning,' came into her mind. 'l hen, Edith, will you be my wife? This is the question which I came to atk you to-day; will you answer it no?' Then came the answer, in a low tone. 'It is not much of a return, but such as I can give you, 1 do give you.' 'Thank you, my darling, was the answer, and the old man kissed tho forehead of his fair young love. 'Do not talk about a return; you have given lue more than I ever deserve. You have made me, Edith, happier than I ever va3 belore in my lire.' II. It w;is all settled between r, J.eSery and Kdiih had, indeed, been understood Iroin the very first that there was to be no break up in the family circle at Lily l!dge. The Lodge they were, indeed, to leave: but they were all going to bo tonet her at Mr. Jeffery 's now house in the country, about twenty miles from London. The young sailor cou-dn, Edward GervaS'j Ned, as he was always called had been called suddenly nway from llampstead tho very day alter iht events just mentioned had occurred before E lith Had bad time, or perhaps inclination, to proclaim the now relations which she and Mr. Jeflery mutually ooi-upiod Ned Gervayse wa once more at Lily Lode to spend his Christmas Sino-i fie had been away he bad come in for a slice of tuck, to ue his own expression. Tho cotnmandership of a coast-guard station had fallen vueaut aud tl.e post had been olT'jred to him. Mr. Ed ward Gervayse arrived at Lily Lodge in the very highest spirits. He was a young gentleman of impulsive temperament, mid be determined that, on the strenih of his promotiou, he would make a certain declaration iu terms as explicit as the English lnguie permitted, to a certain young lady. Practically, he considered that declaration had already been made Edward Gervayse had never told his cousin Edith Winthrop that he loved her, he had deemed such an expression of sentiment to be supeitltious; but Edith, he felt convinced, was perfectly well aware of the state of the case. It was the day before Christmas Eve. and they were busy ducking the small ruotus at Lily Lodge with holly and misile toe. Edward Gervayse bad only just ar rived: Clar.i was out, but Eiiut was await itii bis arrival up stairs There was a little struggle carried on uuderoeaih a piece of the shrub which the ancient Hruids used to as the ancient housemaid docs wor.-bip. But Edward at once saw, from the seii us look about hia cousin's face, hl she was in a serioiie humor, J 'Edward, dear,' she said, 'I am so glad I have been the first to see vou, for I should not like you to have beard what I have to tell you from any other lips than mine.' 'S'tty, sa'd Ned Gervayse; 'let me tell you first what I have to say.' And Ned attempted to repeat the cousinly salute; but bis lips paused in mid-air. He was sorely puzzled at Edith's strange, absent, tearful look; but he went on, told her everything; told her of the luck that had bcfallcn'him, and why be esteemed it luck told her how often he had longed plainly to ask her, as be did now, to be hia wife, but how till uow be had delayed, because he felt it would be wrung told her But Edith Winthrop hurst into tears. '.Ned, dearest, she said, 'it can not be. And then EJith Winthrop told Edward Gervayse everything. Ned said a few words in reply. At first, it is tru, he laughed the notion to scorn. K luh was simply in sport she could not mean it. But then lie found she not only could, but did. Edward Ger vayse was on ihe point of giving utterance i to some words of hitter anjrer: but he checked himself when h looked down and saw Edith's tearful, sad, heavenly face. 'Well, be said, breaking a long silence, He bent down, kissed her forehead, and left the room. Aod EJith whit of Edith? She eat as one stunned. Till uow she had never '.reaSizsd ta its fall foi'co.iho proiiLie aha.

i the table, and went and mourned to her self. O. Ned! O my love, my lovel That was all, but in that was everything. She heard a voice aall EdithP She j looked up it was Mr JelTery. 'That you, Mr. Jcffory? they naver told me you were here.' She noticed that Mr. Jeffery did not on this occasion do what he had so often done before when ehe failed to address her affianced husband by hia Christian name ak her why she would not call him James. Mr. Jtffery simply said: 'Yes, my dear, I came in some fewmin utes since; but I did not interrupt you; aud indeed. 1 did not see you were there . l..twM:..l. ..Ill l I, I.. T 1. .... .2 ..... an iiiv i.iiiiii nit . itiuuui i. urru you speak. I met your cousin, Edward Gervaysc, on the stairs. 1 is well, I think, that he has returned. I came to tell you that I have taken the box at the theater for to-morrow night, and I he pa you and Clara and Edward Gervayse will come. And now, my dear, as I have "an engage gagement as six, I shall leave you. God bless you, Edith. And Mr. Jeffery was sone. Yes, he bad only been in the room a few minutes; but these lew minutes, how much had they taught him! lie saw it all now j Fool, blind that he was, ouly now to know what he should have known so long before --only now to have perceived that wheu Edith Wiuthrop had promised to become his wife, it whs gratitude, not love, which had shapad her answer. 'O Ned! O my love, my love!' Yes, be bad heard thoo words uttered, ut.d be know ali their meaninsr. Mr. Jeffery had uttered a very venial kind of falsehood when be mentioned au engagement at six. Lie walked slowly and I sadiv home tolas lonely chambers, and l ho spent a sad evening in meditating with himseit lie knrw now the happiness which love might bring with it bappiuess greater and better than happiness of any other kind, but it was too late. But there was other happiness of aoolher kiud. It was not loo late for tint. III. Mr. Jeffery had sent his carriage for the party from Lily Lodge, with a message that lie would meet them in the box They vvrrfl all In rnmtv iirlppil v til hul rma Ihe two Miss Winthrops and Ed ward Gervayse. But when ibev reached the box. No. 17. first tier at the Theseum Thea'er, Mr. Jtfferys was not waiting to receive them. A not?, however, in Mr. Jtffery 'a baud writing was placed in Mrs. Winthrop's baud as sho entered the box. She opened it. It was short, and ran thus: My Dear Epith I know "nw that I was mistaken from the first. God forgive me, and yen forgive me, too. I had hoped, my dat ling I must still call yon that and thought, that yon'misht have bren my wife and that your blessed bright face might hnyr- cheered my fast darkening and closing day. But it was not to be. I was wrong in thinking that it ever cou'd be. I love you too well, my darling, to stand between you and your happiness I was blind. I only knew yes'erday that jnu loved your cousin Edward Gcrvaysa. To your cousin I give you; you will have from tue everything that you would have hid f wordly wealth had you ben my wife. May (tod bless you, and have for you aud your husband many happy dav in store! James JEFFEar. P. S I shall join you later at tho theater to-uight. That was all. The word were not many but the characters were traced in the blood of that true man's heart. And Edith well knew ths struggle, nay. the agony, which it must have cost him; and knowing this knew also bow to etimati the nobility of the sacrifice. She handed the note to Edward Gervayse, and its purport was communicated to Clara. 'I always tbought he could crv off remarked thi iightheaitcd young lady. 'All men are jilts. Not. long afterward. Mr. Jc fiery csme into the box. He shook Edward teivayse warmly by the hand and seemed to be in excellent spirits But he soon excused himself, as before, on the ground of an engagement. As may be conjectured. Mifs Winthrop is now Mrs Gervayse; Mr. Jeffery still lives in his chambers; and this is a true scount of the ever bad. only love affair which he A Virginian's Views. Writing of the condition of affairs in his State, a Virginiau correspondent of the Episcopalian says; "Beyond doubt very many of the evils, and they the worst, which we apprehended, oa the close of tha wtr. and on the revolution of our social condition, have not been realited; the white people have not given way to despair, nor revenge, nor have they sunk iut apathy; and although they lost much, yet did not find, by any means, that alt was lost. So likewise the fieedmeo have not relapsed into barbarism, nor given thauiMlves over to licentiousness; on the contrary there docs exist a great amount of good feeling between the two races, and ther is ou tha psrt of both a very general purpose to improve themselves. This purpose does not always show itself in the best way, and on the part of both there have been many failures and mistakes; ihe whites have many prejudices yet to overcome, and the frcedaien many suspicions to dismiss; aod both have many things to learn; still, with ali thee drawbacks, persons who have spent all their lives ia a slave State, and , t -it i. who are well sod familiarly acquainted ith tha feelings and Deculianties of all classes among u, can see a steady, al- ' though slow, change for the better, that is 'most satUfactory and encouraging, and ' which, after'a few more years of expericace,ujtt4 lha boat condition fr us alt.'

Scarlet Fever. From a ciroular distrrbuted in London, England, the Medical Gaxeiie extracts the following directions for the management of the sik roon in case of scarlet fever and other contegioua disorders. 1. Ou the first appearances of the disease the patient bhould be placed in a seperate apartment, as near the top of the bouse as possible, from which allaurtaios, carpets, bed-hangings and other needless articles of furniture shc'ild be removed, and no person except the medical attendant aud the nurse or mother permitted to enter the loom. 2. A basin containing a solution of chloride of lime or carbolic acid should

j be placed near the bed for the patisut lo i spit in. 3. A large vessel containing wafer, into which lias been poured either Coudy'a fluid or the solution of chloride of soda or iime. should be kept in the room, and into this oil the bed aud body linen, as soon aa it is removed from the patient, and all the soiled towels, etc., should be placed, naving been kept there lor some time, the things may be rcaoved and sent to the laundress. 4. Pocket handkerchiefs should not be used, but pieces of rags employed instead, for wiping the mouth and nose of the patient; euch piece, ui'ter being once used, should be immediately burned. 5. A plentiful supply of water and towels should be kept lor the uurse, whoes bands of necessity will become soiled by tha secratious of the patiout, iu one handbasin the water should be impregnated with Coudy's fluid or chlorides, !,y which the taiut ou the bauds may at ouce be removed. G. All glasses, cups, plates, or other vessels u-ed in the sick room should be scrupulously clear.su in boiling water before being used by other persons. 7. Outside the door of the sick chamber a sheet should be suspended so aa to cover the doorway, this ahould be kept constantly wet with a solution of carbolic liCid or chloride of liuio. The effect of this will be to keep svery other portion oi the houte free from the iufcutiou. 8. The discharge from the bowels and kidneys of the patient should be received into vessels charged with disinfectants such as the solution of carbolic acid or ! chlorido of iimc' hud immediately lemov eu. By this means the poison thrown off from internal surfaces may be tendered inert, and deprived of the power of propagating tho disease. 0. The tbiu skin which peals off the hands, f'uoe aud other parts of the body iu convelesceiit patitnts-, is tigly cotiti.geous. The plan recommended for preventing the poison from the skiu being dissemiuated through the air is to rub oil or lard over the skiu. This practice is to commence on the fourth day alter the appearance of the urubttcti, and continued every day uutil the patient is well enough to take a warm bath. These baths should be administered every other day for four times, wheu the disinfection may be regarded as complete. This, however, should not be done without first consulting the medical attendant. The foregoing dilutions will apply to all kinds of fever, smallpox, aud other contagious diseases. The patient having bceu removed, ali linen articles, such as sheets, towels, pil low-cases, and body-linens aro to be disinfected as by direction No. 3 This dooe, the blankets, counterpanes, aud yroolga articles of clotliiug aro to be suspended ou lines and the uiatres.-es and beds placed over the backs of chairs, the furniture also is to be removed from the walis, the windows closed, and paper pasted over the creviees, Cue chimney opeuiug of the fireplace is afso'to be electual y stopped op An old sauce-pan lid or oiher iron, vessel is next to be placed in the middle of the room, into which a quarter of a pound of stone brimstone it then to be ignited, and the person who does it must immediately leave the room, close the door, and pas:c paper over the crevices.

A very annoying iucidant uceured to a near sighted lady ou ibe evening of the last Nil-son concert. In the ctowd and jam coming out of the hal! she mistook another gentleman's arm ior that of her lawful husband and walked off' with him, chattering as merrily as a cricket about Niissnu and the other pcifoi suers, while the gentleman was carried away by the novelty of the adventure. He ventured to look dowu srpilinly upou the mistakeu wife their eyes uiet there was a flash of fire from her and a uer earn that cau-ed momentary excitement According to the most reliable account it did not take her

JEdllur L'yunersville Times . Ds.va Sir : I am advised by letters received from home, that 60 cue of my aon atiiuents censure my course ia tha organ isatioa of tho Senate, aod charge we with, having broken faith with my party. 1 for the information of coDst'tuentf, generally, who may he misled, I 4esir t submit through your paper a simp la fctttttlmeat of facts. lt. The Republicans of the Snat$ could not have organised the body, eveu with the aid -of my vote, as an examina. lion of the votes will ahow. Jd. Aa immediate organisation was im. porlaot, nay indispensable, tu tha transaction of the public business, aod para; mount to any preference amoug men'. lid. All candidates voted for by ma. were men who for years past have aotec. and voted for the Republican party. Qaa of them was the nominee of the Republican, caucus for doorkeeper, an office which ha could not have secured, even with my vote, aud I supported him for AssuUKf Secretary, an office which ha did receive. The other two, Harrison, the priacipa. Secretary, and Cookerly, the doorkeeper, had probably co-operated, ia part with the Democrats, in the last election, bat I am not positive of that, sad may not sUla the fact correctly. Tbure is doubt about the facts, that for some years past they have worked hard for the Republican party." It is true that ali these men received the Demoerati vote: This looks more like liberality ou the part of the Democrats than desertion ou mine. Every Senator has the right to dteidd'Jor bimseif whe'thcr he will go in at caucus or not. I did not go" into the saqcus, aud hence violated uo pledge. I au convinced that my votes were Tor the adv a n lag d of my constituents. If they will look, abroad and 6c e the bitter dirseutiona which are feutTingthe lvepubliban party in Congress. And in every State io tha Union, they will see what is much more) iijurioua to the Republican party than any act of mine. The spirit of intolerance and persecution is doing barm, aud not good,' and I hope it'will not be invoked against me. 4th. With this plain statement, 1 6hall leave the action I have taken to the oalru and sober judgement of the people, and I balieve that after the impulse of momentary passion, excited by misrepresentation has passed, they will approve what I hav doue. It is certain that I have ihe approval of my own judgement aud conscience, and that will sustain me, eveu if BOmg fiiuds should bu dissatisfied. Yours Respectfully, James Elliot. An Aimless Life. I committed one fatal error ia my youth, and dearly have I abtded it.' I started iu life without au object, even without au ambition. My tempereament disposed nif to ease, and lo the full I indulged the disposition. I said to myself: 'I have all that i- see others contending for; why should I struggle?' I knew hot the curs that lights ou those who have never struggled for any thing. Had I created for uiy aclf a definite pursuit literary, scientific, artistic, social, political, no matter what, so there was something to lobor for and to overcome I might have been happyi feel this now too late! The power ij gene. Habit have become chaim. Through all the profitless years gone by, I seek vaiuly lor something to remember with ptide, or even to dwell on with satisfaction, 1 have thrown away a life." I feel, sometimes, aa if there were uotbing remainiug to me worth living for. I am an unhappy man. Tlobert Dale Pweo. v'' - " a.
