More than a year lie fore she had promlned Henry Southron that she would be his wife as soon an time uud el renin stances rendered such a step proper, Henry was an orphan, and had just gone into business on his own account. He was a young man of whose friendship any sensible maiden might bare been proud a generous, upright, steady, Industrious youth, llxed llrmly in his'moral course, and of a lair, manly personal appearance. 'My child,' said tho mother, alter reflecting awhile, 'what have you been doing? Why did not Heury come home with you

Louisa said sbe would be very glad to be&r It then sho tried to laugh and then, having told her nfother once more that »h« wan needlessly an*Iowa, SIIH went to her chamber.

On the following morning Mrs. Burnet met her daughter, aa usual, waking no allusion To the circumstances of the previous evening. In the afternoon they walked out to oall at Mru. Winihrop'a, having had an urgent invitation to visit them. They remained to tea, and spent the evening.

Polly, of whom Mrs. Burnet bad spoken was Mrs. Wintbrop's slater. She was a maiden lady, past three-score, and had for tnany years found a home wiih her brother. Her bead was now ailvered, and time had drawn deep marks on her brow, but still there were traces of beauty left upou her face. Daring the evening she came "and took a t»eat heside L'nilmi, and after some commonplace remarks, the old lady said, in a quiet way

Then let us walk in the garden. Tho moou la up, and the air ia warm and pleasant.'

They went out, and when they had reached the grapery tbey went into the arbor and sat down

There ia no need that I should make any preliminary remarks,' continued Polly, 'for I have come out on purpose to tell you a short story, and I shall tell it to you as plainly and simply as poa aible, and when I have done, you may know why your mother wished that you Hhould hear It.

When I was your nge people called mo haudKome: but mill, with all my faults, I do not think I was ever proud or vain I knew that I was good looking, and I meant to be good. I tried to do right, as I understood it, and when I failed it wus from a lack of judgment and a proneuess to be thoughtless where I should have been.directly the opposite. When I was eighteen years of age Oeorge Ashmun asked ine if I would be bis wife. He was a no bio hearted, geuerous, upright maw, and 1 never experienced a sense of more blissful joy than when I became thus assured that his heart's best love wus mine. I told him yes, and our vows were plighted. We were to wait a year, and then If wo continued to hold the same purpose we were to be married. 1 don't know us anyone envied me, hut I do kuow that in all the country there was not abetter man than was he who loveil me, nor waa there one whose prospects in life were more promiaiug.

Prom my girlhood up I had been a wirt of pet and favorite in our social circles and considerable attention was shown me from all quartors. George waa one of those honest-minded, prac tleal men, who cannot appear different from what they really are, whofbllowa true and just cause straightforward and frankly. When ho had proposed for air hand, and I had promised to be his wife, he devoted his entire attention to mo. It almost seemed that he could not be attentive enough. When out upon our social picnics and excursions ho was constantly by my side, an ticlpnting my every want, and ever realty to guard and assist me. I allowed tuyHelf to feel that I would like a title more of my old liberty and even went so far as to feel annoyed by his close, undivided attention. It was a thoughtless, reckless emotion on lay -urt, but 1 waa foolish enough to givo place in my bosom. Some of my female friends joked mo on the subject, and I Anally determined that I would not Ire quite so closely tied to my lover. I did not stop to ask myself how I should feel If lie were less attentive to me. I did not reflect that I might have

That have not ceased to suffer lot these hot bitter tears bear witness. Oh, of ni things within the sphere of your influ ence, beware bow you trifle with a trusting, loving heart.'

Silent aud thoughtful did Louisa Burnet return to the parlor, aud but very little did she say on her way home. On the following moruing she wrete a brief note, and sent it to Henry Southron. She simply asked him lo come and see her. He came, and when they were nlotic, sh§ fell upon bis bosom, and asked him to forgive her. Shegaz ed up through her streaming tears, and begged for his love and conadonce once ruorp. Of course ho could not refuse. Perhaps he was never happier than at that moment, for surely it must have been a mighty love and a true devotion that could have prompted the course the tnalden had thus pursued.

Louisa never forgot the lesson she had received. She became Henry Southron's wife, and wben, in after tlin she saw husbands neglecting th6r wives, she had occasion to thank God that she was blessed with the true and undivided faith and devotion of her bo«om con miou. •v .irely there is nothing on earth of mere worth than a faithlul, virtuous, und devoted life partner, and ho or sbe who can triflo with the heart of such a one, only sows the seed which shall yield a harvest of pain and remorse

I laid down the goose-quill. Lame Hetty bad been In my thoughts, somehow, all that rainy twilight, Just as people and things will take possession of your brain at time«, and you can't help yourself.

But Hatty Dorrance never came to learn ber doom. Day after day went by and tbe famlllur tap of ber crutch sounded no more on the floor. I grew uneasy. 'Perhaps she is ill—alone—in want!' I thought.

And tbe more I pondered matter the more uneasy I felt

Porhaps sbe is dead 1' And with that last, overwhelming thought came tbe full revelation of my own heart. 1 had grown to lovo Hetty Dorrance.

Well, why not? I could afford a wife as well as most men. Hetty was only a work-girl, and lame also but she bad face like ono of heaven's angels, and a heart as white as a lily. Of that I felt certain. I loved her—why should I not marry her?

So I sat down and wrote ber a little note, saying simply that I loved her, and asking berir sno could consent to become my wife—and I concluded by saying that I would call on the morrow to receive ber unawer.
