It was the close of the afternoon sarvice in the .village church of By field. The last notes of the doxology were still echoing from the singing gallery, and the congregation, with a rustle and a stir, turned their faces toward the minister for the benediction. In the brief pause before it was spoken old Mr. Bearaan, the town clerk of By field, stepped in front of the pulpit, and, raising his hand, said in a loud, clear voice, "Know all it may concern, that Mark Boynton, of this town, and Elizabeth Heath, of the same, intend marriage." There waa a movement through the whole congregation aa if .it were pervaded by an electric shock, and looks of surprise passed from eye to eye. But there were three persons present on whom the clerk's announcement fell like a thunderbolt. One of these was a youDrf girl with a pile face and downcast eye. When Mr. Baaman began to speak she listened with a kind of patient comwrhmtvA. Rut n cj tha niniaa vpra ttnnrm n rpl a wild, startled look came into her eyts she sink back upon her seat and buried her now burning face in her hands. Not many slips removed stood a man of perhaps forty a grave and sober person, with hair slightly turning to gray. Ilis face, habitually a somewhat sad one, had worn throughout the service that day a look of cheer! ul content; but as Mr. Beaman made his announcement it took on the paleness of death. Ills head dropped upon his breast, and he stood like one paralyzsd, clasping the railing of the pew for support. Very di tie rent was the effect produced upon a young man, the solitary occupant of a pew not far away. He had been standing with a drooping head and downcast, heavy look; but as he heard the words of the old clerk he startled visibly, the blood mounted in a crimson flush to his forehead, while bis eyes flashed with a look blended of triumph and defiance and the lips closed with an expression of stern resolve. There was a painful hush over all the house, as if every one present were strangely moved to sympathy with one or another of those so deeply and variously greeted by fVUay UaU unu oaiut nw 4 . v " j -voice of the minister saying solemnly, "and now may grace, mercy and peace, the love of God, and the communion of His Holy Spirit, be and abide with you all for ever. Amea." And the people moved silently out of the church. ' The pale and stricken man on whom the old clerk's most unexpected words had fallen so like the stroke of doom was Robert Jocelyn. He had listened that day to hear his own name coupled with that of the lovely girl who had promised to t8 his wife, and the voice of the clerk had joined with her'a that of another and a younger man! To understand the full force of the blow which had fallen on him, it is necessary to go back at a time, nearly twenty years before, when as a youth he had won the love of his pretty and gentle cousin Phujbe Jocelyn. -Plrn-be waa the loveliest girl in all the country round, and had admirers by the score, but Bobert Jocelyn was the choice of her heart, and to him she was tenderly attached. But though capable of loving with devotion, poor Pboebe was weak-willed and timid, and quite powerless to resist a resolute and domineering mother, who had chosen a very different person to be her daughter's husband. William Heath had more money than Robert, and was a showy, plausible fellow, in whom th ambitious mother fancied she saw a more brilliant match for her daughter. She plied the yielding girl with arguments, reproaches and appeals to filial duty till she was quite bewildered; and almost before she was aware of it she had given up her cousin and was plighted to William Heath. Her married life was fortunately brief, for she knew no happiness in the three weary years she lived with her husband. At the end of that time he left her in poverty, and no one in Byfield ever saw him again. Poor Phrebe, sinking under the pressure of grief, neglect and privation, lived but a few months after his desertion. During that time she was tenderly cared for by her cousin Robert, who supplied all the wants of her and her infant daughter, and found for them a serene asylum under the roof of his brother Ezra and his wi.'e. This kind couple had no children, and when her mother was gone the little lizzie was adopted by them as their own. Robert Jocelyn had never married. He lived on, a sad and silent man, old before his time, but he had no heart to offer to another woman. He had loved l'ha be so unselfishly that he could have borne to lose her if she had been happy; but to have her taken from him to suffer neglect and - cruelty was hard indeed. It was with solemn thankfulness that he saw the sod laid over her faded beauty and broken heart. Years passed, and Phoebe's daughter was a charming, bright eyed girl of eighteen. Under the fostering care of Ezra and his -wife she had grown up cheerful and happy, ' loving . and dutiful, a favorite with all. Like her mother, she had many admirers; but it could not be positively determined that she favored any. Still, there were shrewd suspicions, and more than one young fellow would have been glad to stand in Mark Boynton's place, and would have felt rich indeed with but a portion of the smiles which shone on that fortunate yonth. Mark was a neighbor of the Jocelyns. He Lad inherited from bis father a tine, well ttocked farm; out unfortunately there had been discovered a flw In his title and ever since his majority he had been involved In a liresome lawsuit which it was now generally believed would i against him. Should it so result he woul 1 be a poor man, if a young man with a Strang fcand and a courageous heart can be poor. With all the strength of an earnest and manly nature Mark loved JLizzia Heath; but his pride withheld him

from saying so until he should know whether indeed he had a home to offer her. If he won his case he would ask her to' share the wealth which would then be his. If he lost he must no, h'e could not resign her; but if she loved she would wait for him. He was not a vain man, but his hopes ran high. He had seen how Lizzie's eye would brighten and her color glow at his approach, and had marked the innocent arts by which she sought to avoid the attentions of others while his own were gladly received. - : As, for Lizzie, her ideal of manly beauty and excellence was embodied in Mark Boyn4on; but maiden like she, would not admit the idea of love. She knew that she was perfectly happy only when he was by; but she would not own even to herself the reason. Of late, too, she half fancied that he avoided her, and interpreting that fact backward, felt no pique, but just enough uncertainty abeut his sentiments to be resolute ih concealing her own: And so matters stood when, one pleasant afternoon in summer, Lizzie sat sewing with ber mother, as she always called Mrs. Kzra. .There was an unusual shade of pensiveness on the young girl's face, and her mother watched her narrowly. At length the latter said:' "You seem very sober to-day, for you, Lizzie. Has anything happened . to make you so?" A blush and some low, inaudible words Were the only reply. Mrs. Jocelyn went on: "Are you thinking of anything that Brother Robert -said to you last night as you walked in the orchard together?" "Why; mother, did you know?" asked Lizzie, looking up in'surprise. "Yes. dear; your father and I have known all along that Robert was fond of you. What did vou say to him?" "What could I say," replied Lizzie, in a broken voice, "but that such a thing is impossible?" ' ' ' "I don't see, dear, why it should be Impossible. You are surprised because you have not thought about it; but when you come to reflect I hope your answer wiy be different. If your, father and I have, a wish in the world it is that you should marry Robert." "Oh, mother, how can If" exclaimed Lizzie, looking up in astonishment. "Why not, pray? I am sure it is not every girl has an opportunity a man of character and position, and bo good and kind as he is. Then you knbw ha is well off; you would have everything that money could buy.' And I always thought you were fond of Rob"Yes, mother: but not that way. He is nly uncle." "I know you have called him so, but yon knew all the time he was only your second cousin. There.is no reason why you should not love him in 'that way.' as you say, un less you like somebody else. Is that lti"' "No indeed, no," poor Lizzie faltered hastily, turning away her face now burning with blushes. The eyes of Mark Boy n ton rose up before her with a glance of reproach at this denial; but how could she confess a love for one who perhaps did not care for her. "I am glad to hear it," Mrs. Ezra . went on, "for I am surd you will in time return Robert's affection. He loves you dearly, and you have it in your power to make up to him in part for what he suffered through your mother." Lizzie looked up with startled eyes. "What do you mean, mother?" she asked in astonishment. . Then Mrs. Ezra told all the story of Robert's love and blighted hope, of his delicate kindness to poor Pho-be during the sad years of-her married life, and bow in her last distress he had succored her and ber child. She reminded the young girl of his generous and watchful care over her own childhood and growing youth. And then, .though the good woman had no idea of taking a mean advantage, she was yet so anxious to win Lizzie's consent to the match she thought best for her, that she did work upon the girl's gratitude to herself and husband, though ordinarily it .would not have occurred to her to think whether or not she bad conferred favors on one who was almost like her own daughter. Their talk was long, protracted and often renewed, and Robert added his pleadings. He told her of the years during which he had watched her growing beauty, loving her first for her mother's sake, but as she bloomed into womanhood so like that mother, he found himself renewing the dreams of his youth, daring to hope that happiness might yet be his. The strongest, the best fortified woman's heart must ever be more or less moved by the evidence of a deep and earnest affection, and poor Lizzie had the yielding, pliant nature of her mother. And Mark Boynton was away she had not seen him for weeks; and not knowing that he was occupied at the county town with the final trial of his case, she felt herself neglected by him. Why, if he really loved her, was he not here to say so, and to standby her in this time of trial. Soit came about that, helpless in the baud of her affectionate but ill-judging friends-, she yielded, and promised to marry Robert Jocelyn. it was a day or two after she had formally given her word that she was returning one evening a'one from a neighbor's. She had not walked far when she heard a quick step behind her, and turning saw Mark Boy n ton. He greeted her gayly, and the dim light prevented his observing her pale and troubled face. He took her hand, drew it through his arm with an air almost of ownership, saying as he did so, "This was just what I wanted, Lizzie, to meet you. I was going to your house. I am such a happy fellow tonight that I want to tell you about it" She made no answer indeed, he gave her no time, but went on:

"I have been all the week at Muford, attending court, and I haye gained my case. My farm is my own at last, and I am an independent man." s She murmured some half inaudible expression of pleasure in its result. "Lizzie." be said, stopping suddenly and taking her hand in his, "there is only one thing I want to make me the happiest man in By tie Id. I want you to come and share my home with me." ' Here Lizzie drew her hand hastily from him and said in a frightened tone, "Don't: don't, Mirk! You must not talk to me so." "What do you mean, Lizzie? Why may I not tell you that I love you better than all the world? I think you must have known it without my telling." 'Poor Lizzie burst into a passion of tears, but could not speak. Mark drew her gently out of the path and seated her upon a stone, placing himself beside her. He waited some minutes for an answer, but she remained silent "Dear Lizzie," he said at last, "you must know that I love you. Can I be mistaken in thinking you care for me?" He drew sway the bands with which she had covered her face, and begged her to speak to him. "Oh, Mark!" she gasped out in a kind of deprecation, "I have promised to marry Robert Jocelyn." Mark Boynton flung away the hands he held with an angry gesture, and sprang to his feet "Lizzie!" he cried indignantly, "you are not, you can not be in earnest." No answer from L'zzie. Her voice was choked with sobs. 1'oor Mark broke out in bitter reproaches. He accused her of cruel trifling with him, and declared his belief that she bad accepted Jocelvn be cause he was the richer man. and his own case a doubtful. . Lizzie had but one answer to bis reproaches; she cried as if her heart were broken; and the strong, tender hearted fellow soon ' grew pitiful of her grief, and soothed her, and begged forgiveness for bis harshness. After awhile he drew from her the whole story. He understood the pressure which had been brought to bear upon her, and bow powerless she had been to resist it He saw that she loved him, and that if she bad felt sure of his affection she would have stood oat against them all If he had but

spoken out before! But his own pride had been to blame. . Though he argued long and earnestly, he could not convince Lizzie that she had any right to draw back. She had given her word, and she held herself bound by it, persistently declaring that he must not talk, or she listen. So at last he gave up in derpa:r, and the two walked home in gloomy silence. la Byfield everybody's affairs are known to everybody else; and so it was but a few days before the whole neighborhood was informed of Lizzie's engagement to Robert Jocelyn, and by some mysterious agency, known only t6 rural communities, the secret of Mark Boynton 's love aud disappointment was also generally understood. The circumstances created a kind of excitement. The general opinion was that the two young people were being sacrificed to the wishes of their elders; and sympathy was strongly with them, as always where true love is crossed. The young people blamed Lizzie for her want of firmness; - but parents, interested perhaps in the cause of authority, exonerated her and censured those who were taking advantage of her filial duty. Robert too, came in for his share of sympathy. The sad story of his love for Pho-be was well remembered; and there was not wanting some romantic souls who thought it fitting that the daughter should compensate him for the pain her mother cost. Of course all the neighborhood gossip was known to Mrs. Kzra, but she took good care that very little of it should come to Robert's ears. She had made up her mind that she knew what was best for Lizzie, and she did not mean to let her plans fall. And Robert! -Was he ignorant of the state of things? He might have seen, but he would not He beard- it said that Lizzie loved Mark Boynton, and he would not believe'it Had he not loved her all his life as no young man could? Had he not a right? He bad missed happiness once, and cow - it was again within his grasp, who should say that he ought to give it up? Lizzie would be happy. She loved him already; she would love him wholly when she was his :wife. That other was a passing fancy. He shut his eyes to the evidence of her pale and sorrowful face, silenced all inward remonstrance, and held his way. The preparations for the marriage were rather hurried forward. Mra. Kzra thought the sooner it was over the better. Lizzie made no objection. Since it was to be, all times were alike to her. The day for the wedding was fixed, and they only waited for Ihe regular three weeks' "punishment," one of the legal forms essential in those days. They were to be i'cried" for the first time on that pleasant Sunday afternoon on which this story opens. And Mr. Beaman, whose duty it was to perform that office, stood up be Tore the congregation and published the' bans of marriage between Elizabeth Heath and Mark Boynton! No wonder the people were thunderstruck, and that they moved in silent amazement out of the church. But once the crowd was fairly outside the sacred edifice, comment and question were free. Mr: Beaman was beset by inquiries. Kzra Jocelyn was there-, angrily accusing him of wantonly insulting his daughter and his brother. The poor man was completely bewildered. He did not understand that anything was wrong- He had been called upon by Robert Jocelyn to publish the intention of marriage between himself and Lizzie Heath, and he had done it "Why, man alive!" exclaimed a bystander, "it was not Robert Jocelyn's name that you called, but Mark Boynton's." - The unlucky clerk could not believe it possible that he had -made such a mistake, until the reiterated 'assertions of all his neighbors convinced him. He could only explain it by the fact that he had thought a good deal of the peculiar circumstances of the case he had heard, he said, tbe woman folks talking it over aud had pitied the adverse fate of the two young people crossed in love; and he must have had Mark Boynton so much in his mind that he had spoken the latter'a name unconsciously. A fine communication his blunder had made. Mrs.-Joycelyn, with a flushed and angry face, took Lizzie's arm and hurried her away. She believed tbe whole thing was a trick ot Mark's; and she suspected that Lizzie might be privy to it But she prudently repressed her anger, until they reached home, and there Lizzie quickly escaped to her own room and locked herself in; so the good woman's lecture had to be postponed. As for Mark Boynton, the last syllable of the benediction was hardly spoken before he was out of the house. Curious eyes followed him, but no one bad time to speak to him, for he quickly sprang over a stile leading from the churchyard to a toot path across the fields, and disappeared in the wood beyond. But doubtless the saddest, the most pitying sympathy of the crowd went after Robert Jocelyn, as, with a face white and immoveable as that of the dead, he moved through the throng, which divided to let him pass, and went away to home. He sat down at the open window, through which the pensive autumn sunshine streamed in warm and sweet, and burying his face in his hands, remained for a long time lost in gloomy thought. Bitter memories crowded thick upon him. The straggle in his soul was a cruel one, but It was the better part of him which conquered. After a long time he lifted his head, and drawing oat his watch, took from the inner part of tbe old fashioned

silver case a lock of hair, faded now. but once a bright warm brown. Over it lay a little watch paper on which was painted in water colors a wreath of forgmenots encircling two clasping hands. Underneath the whole waa the name "Pho be." He gazed at these treasures long and steadily, while the bard look of suffering went out of his face, and his eyes grew tender and moist with tears. He leaned his elbow on tht, window sill and looked out across tbe happy autumn field to the churchyard where for so many years poor Phrbe had rested foni her sorrows. Then his eye went on to his brother's house, from the door of which he presently saw little Lizzie pass out and take tbe path to the orchard. At sight of her bis lip quivered slightly; he heaved one great sih, and then said, as if summoning strength for some final resolution, "Yes, I will go and tell her." Poor Lizzie bad thought her cup was full before, but this day she was sure she could bear no more; and escaping as soon as possible from her mother, she sought the only place where she was likely to be aninterrupted that sbe might cry her heart out alone. She hurried along till she reached her favorite seat beneath an ancient apple tree, whose long branches drooped so low as to almost touch the ground. On one side was the wall, and on another a huge barberry . bush, so that she was almost entirely shut from view, and any one approaching could not be seen until close upon her. Now, not far - distant from tbe Jocelyn orchard, and separated from it only by a small field, was a pleasant strip of woodland. It was a part of Mark Boynton's farm, and up and down Its shaded paths their owner had been recklessly walking ever since he left the church. He alone, of all present that day, had understood in a flath the old man's blunder and its cause. In tbat moment when he drew himself proudly up in the face of all who looked at him, he was saying to himself, "She belongs to me, and sbe shall be mine. That notice shall be repeated here and it shall be no blunder." Now, as he restlessly paced to and fro, quite convinced tbat affairs had reached a crisis, and could never stay as they were, he was fully resolved to make a good fight for his rights. He was just making up his mind to go to Robert Jocelyn add have it out with him at once, when he chanced to glance across the field to the orchard beyond, and his eye caught the flutter of a pink drees among the-trees. Well he knew who had worn that pink muslin in church; he knew, too, the nook under the apple tree, for he had sat there more than once with Lizzie Heath. Without a moment's

hesitation he sprang over the low stone wall and went straight across the field to the old tree. There, as he expected, he found Lizzie. It is unnecessary to relate ail the arguments he used to bring her to his way of thinking; at least they were not immediately effective, for the poor girl's conscience and sense of auty were unfortunately arrayed upon the wrong side. They had been thus occupied for perhaps half an hour and were on the verge of a genuine quarrelLizzie, with tear stained face, eat pulling nervously at the long grass. Mark stood before her talking earnestly. She had said something about repairing her mother's wrong. He interrupted her almost angrily: "How can you repair one wrong by doing another? That your mother tailed to keep faith with Robert Joycelyn is nothing to jpu. A girl is not bound to marry every man her mother jilts. If she did wrong by him you can not make it right by doing me the same wrong. I tell you that my claim is better than his. That he loves you I have no doubt how could he help it? but I love you as well as be, and you love me, for you have admitted it with your own hps. Oh, Lizzie! don't you know that love has some rights as well as duty?" What answer Lizzie might have made I can not tell, for just then the sound of a step in tbe grass made them both turn, and there stood Robert Joycelyn. Mark straightened himself with a defiant look, but Lizzie sat silent and trembling. It was to her the new comer spoke. "I thought to find you alone," he said, "but perhaps it is better as it is. I have heard a part of your conversation, and what Mark says is right I have thoueht it all out myself to day, and came to tell you so. I have made a great mistake, but, thank ffod, I have found it out before it la too late. I hope you will forgive me, Lizzie. I have not been faithful to your mother, for I promised her upon her dying bed that I would watch over the happiness of her child ; and I have not kept ray word, but selfishly sought my own happiness, forgetting yours. Long ago I regarded you as my child; it was presumption in me to think that you could be anything else. But my eyes "are fortunately opened. It will be all right between us, for I have found my child again." He stooped and kissed her twice upon the lips, so like h.r mother's. Then, taking Mark's band, he said: "This child has promised to be mine. I give her to you. Be good to her, and may God bless you both." Then he walked slowly away in tbe direction of his brother's house. The young people looked after him in silence, their own great joy forgotten for the time in their sorrowful sympathy for him who had resigned to them so much. ' Robert Jocelyn made it bis rare to reconcile Ezra and his wife to the change in Lizzie's destiny. By what arguments he did so, and how things were explained to tbe pub lie if explained at all I am unable to relate. 1 1 is. sufficient to say that on 1 he two Sundays Immediately following old Mr. Beaman again announced to the deeply interested congregation the intention of marriaee between Mark Boynton and Elizabeth Heath, and the intention was carried out at no distant day. It was many. years ago that those things happened, during whicn the Boyntons have been a happy and prosperous couple, with no reason to regret Mr. Beaman's mistake. Strong sons and pretty daughters have grown up around them.- One of these, a gentle, blue eyed girl, bears the name of Pho-be. With her is often seen an aged man, who leans upon her arm or follows her movements with eyes full of tenderness and love. "Uncle Robert" is the object of affection and reverence from all, but Phoibe is bis own special darling. It is her gentle ministry which sheds light and beauty on the evening of his days. He is only waiting now, serenely waiting for the happiness which shall soon be his. And "grace, aiercy and peace, the love of God, and the coinmnmon of His holy spirit," do abide with him now, and shall forever. DOST NAG THE MEN.

Advice for Woman Saflrace Parties. IFrom Mary Clemmer's Letter In Independent.! A humiliating sight, and so humiliating that I shall not w itness it again, is that of women pleading, begging of such men for that political equality which no company of men will ever grant; which, when il comes, as come it will, must come through that greater development and education of men which can come only by women. When women as a sex are- great enough to make men more humble as men, great enough to fill any position to which they aspire, a few women will not have to plead. Let petitions to congress from tens of thousands of women continue to come in to. congress. In spite of Father ChriStiancy, who doesn't want them to come, yet says "he will vote for woman suffrage when the majority want it," let them continue to come, that he may not be left in ignorance of that "majority;" and, at dignified intervals, let a great woman make a ereat speech to back the petitions. But don't use the weapons of weakness. For mercy's sake, don't "gad fly" the men. The Lord never made a man that will not run from that sort of operation; and who can blame him? The masculine creature has an instinctive aversion to being nagged. And I, who have an equal compassion for the weaknesses on both sides of humanity, for one, don't want him nagged. His lovely neighbor, who may wear to his delight the rose of womanhood for him, or be a jabbing thorn stuck in his ide, will never make out much in her own behalf, while his muscles unfortunately continue tougher than hers, if she persists In irritating bim in any way. Kven his tremendous "judgment" will go under if you make him "mad." And as for you and your "cause," it is lost the moment you make yourself "ridiculous." That moment he ensconces himself on the throne of his maiculine prerogative, into which the ridiculous finds it not impossible to enter. But never mind. If throngh your weakness he is on that throne, your beating against it will only be the waves breakiug on the rock. So don't appoint "female prayer meetings" in the senate lobby, and when you have said one brave, broad, honest say, Bay no more, but go home and stay there. It weakens your influence, it harms your cause to pursue senators and representatives, ai they have been pursued for the last month. Thoughtful men will not forget the heroic utterance of Elizabeth ("ady Stanton, Dr. Thompson of Oregon, Mrs. Lawrence of Massachusetts and other ladies who addressed the senate committee of privileges and elections in January. It has always seemed to me that the morn ing sermon would be more effective and lasting in its influence if people would stay at home in the afternoon and think it over, rather than to rush ' forth to hear a second one. So I believe that the really great speeches of these large minded, large hearted, comprehensive women would be much more potent in the minds of these legislators had they not been perpetually followed by the secondary utterances of weaker women, who harry them, both in the committee room and in their homes. God never hurries; nor can any great change, striking at the roots of custom, prejudice, human association, be hurried by impatience or importunity. In tbe higher civilization in whose dawn we stand will culminate the noon of woman's day. The women perfectly developed physically, morally, mentally can not be degraded by man; but the advantage he has gained in centuries of physical supremacy can not. be annulled, alas! these many days. Let us thank God that we live to see the dawn of the day of mental as well as spiritual equality. The noon will be for those who come after us. We never learn too soon for full fruition. Is it not enough that, though not for us, it is sure for others? Poor Sir William Jenner! He has sent in his resignation as a member of the British medical association, on the ground of the share women are allowed to take in its proceedings.
