is continually finding some new phase of the possibilities of that microcosm, the human bodv. But to the neophvte in a profession success is only attainable by hard labor, and Miss Reynolds was so closely employed In making herself proficient that she had little time to devote to'general intelligence, white the newspaper world was almost a nonentity to her. Thus it wss that her rejected lover was accused, arrested, assaulted by a street mob. wad brought to the verge of trial for murder, without an inkling of the fects reaching her mind. She was as utterly removed from Salem as though that town lay en the other ride of the world, or in some remote sphere hearing nothing, seeing no one from the piace that had so large a share in her memories living an entirely new life, and under social circumstances as distinct from those of her former life as existence to a targe citv must be from the conditions obtaintog'to an overgrown

Yet, despite this physical removal from former associations and conditions, mentally she could not avoid living a portion of her daily life to Salem. Hhe desired and sought to break loose from all bonds of connection with this unhappy episode of her career. Physically she was success ltd in doing so. No whisper, no footstep, from that dirtant locality, crossed the threshold of her present existence. But there is no building barriers to the mind, and declaring, "thus fer Shalt thou go and no fort her, and here shall thy wild flightbe stayed." The mind overleaps the lofUost wall of reason or expediency, and roams distant and dangerous realms, uncontrolled either from without or within.

It would have been better for the peaee of mind of Clara Reynolds could she have bent her soul entirely to her profession and driven sfer from her these distracting thoughts. Better could she have ceased to brood over her toe lover, as she deemed him, and have released herself from thoughts that came back but to stow, from mcmoriss tbat like dark clouds blotted out the winlight of her existence. But the mind to it# evolutions hi not ruled by consideration of what hi best. Unpiessaitt memories will intrude even upon the plcasantcst aurrounding how much more, then, opou the soul that is saddened by destiny, whose hopes b«ve early t**a extinguished by Mtter experience Hhe had from ehifdhood heme a burden that clung to her stfU in womanhood.

Determined to succeed in her profession, she gave her patients a closeand unwearving attention, watching their symptoms with kind assiduity that rapidly added to her experience of disease, and that proved most efficacious in its effect upon the sick.

Her time was thus largely occupied, while all the spare intervals wen filled up with close study, rendered accessory by the new points that arose in her practice. However deeply any

Death or Marriage.

Th'- nndent clock in Deacon Shermer'u old-i iioned kitchen was slowly cjiimtog the hour of nine. It was no smart toy, no trifle of tho bronseor alabaster, but a talL suuare, solid relic of the last oentury, looking not unlike a coflftn-caso set on end in the corner—a clock that had laired through i"iic generations, and, iivHring from ai^mrances, was quite lik, tly to last through several in 0. De.: S". nner cherished the I: loom -'-i a -rt of pride which he himself would have scarcely confessed to.

There was a great ruddy fir® of chestnut logs in the rod brick lire-place and the handles in the brightly-polished brass sticks were winking merrily from the high wooden mantle Where they shared the post of honor with a curious sea-shell and a couple of vasee, each containing afresh osage orange from the hedge that skirted the clover-field behind the barn. At the window a curtain of gaudy chintz shut out the tens of thousands of stars that were shining brightly on the Autumnal night, and on tho cosy rug of parti-coiorea rags a fat tortoiseHshou cat was not the only inhabitant of the ferm-housc kithen.

Timothy 1" said Mary Shermcr, decidedly, "if you don't behave yourself I'll

What she would do Mary did not say the sentence was terminated by a laugh that set the dimples around her mouth in motion, just as abeam of June sunshine plays across a cluster of red ripe cherries.

Mary Shermer was just seventeen—a plump, rosy girl with jet black hair, brushed back from a low forehead, and perfectly-arched eyebrows, that gave a bewitohmg expression of surprise to a pair of melting hazel eyes. She was rather dark but the severest critic would not have fouud fault with the peach-like bloom upon her cheeks, and the dewy red of her full daintily curved lips. Evidently Mr. Timothy Marshall was quite satisfied with Mary's peculiar style of beauty.

Come Mary!" said Tim, moving his chair where he could best watch the flush of the fire-light upon her face, and picking up the thread of the conversation where he nad dropped It when it became necessanr lor Mary to bid him "behave himself*—"you might promise. It's nine o'clock, and your fether will soon be homo."

Promise what, Tim said Mary, demurely, fitting a square ol red in her patchwork, and intently observing the effect.

Nonsense, Mary! You know what very well. Promise to marry me before Christmas I tell you what, Mary, it's all very well for you to keep putting a fellow ofl, but I can't stand It. What with your father's forbidding me the hou.se, and that romantic Tom Stanley's coming here every Sunday night—"

Mary gave her pretty head a toss. "As if Mr. Stanley's coming here made any difference in my feeling, Tim I"

No but, Mary, it isn't pleasant, you know. I'm as good a man as Tom Stanley, if I don't own railroad shares and keep an account at the llamiltonvillc Bank: and 1 love yon, Mary from the very bottom of my heart Now this matter lies between yon and me only no other person to the world has aright to interfere between us. Conic—promise me He held both her hands in his and looked earnestly into the liquid hjwel eyes.

Do yon love me Mary?" You know I love yon, Tim." Then we may just as well—hush, what's that r»

There was a portentous sound of drowing bolts, and rattling latches, in the porch room beyond—a scraping of heavy boots along the floor, "Oh, Tim, it'sfether 1"

Suppose it is?" But he musn't find you here, Tim I Hide yourself somewhere, do I" '"What nonsense, Maty, said the young man. resolutely, standing his ground. *1 naven't come here to steal his spoon*. Why should I creep away like a detected burglar T" "For my sake, nm. If you ever loved me, do as I say) Not In that closet it Is dose to his bed room: not through that window it Is nailed down tight. He is coming? Here, Tim, quick!

And In tho drawing of a breath rite bad pushed Timothy Marshall Into a (uare pendulum ease of' the tall old dock, and turned the key upon him. It was not a pleasant place of refage, inasmuch as his shoulders were squeezed on either ride, and his head flattened against springs and wheels above, and the air was unpleasantly ck*»e but Tim made the best of matters, and shook with suppressed 11 ^hter to his solliary

"Well! ajolly scrape to bs in,"thought Tim, "and no knowing when TH be out of it. Mary's a shrewd little puss, however, uid cant do better than to leave matter* In her hands." "So you havent gone to bed yet, MaryK said Deacon Xhermor, slowly unwinding the two yards of woolen M»rf with which he geuer.iny- encased his throat of an evening.

Mar-fidgeted uneasily about the m, straightening table eovers, setting back chairs, and thinking—Oh! If he would only go to bed 1

As ho sat there his eyelids began to droop, and his head to nod solemnly. Mary's eyes lighted up with a sparklo of

bo Raid, suddenly straight

ening himself up in the sflft-baclEed chair, "you'd bettor go to bed. "I'll sit up a while longer till the logs torn out,*' I

But, ftithcr, I'm not sleepy." Go to bed, my child," reiterated the deacon, with good-humored authority that brooked no opposition and Marv crept out of the room, ready to cry with anxiety and mortification.

If Tim will only keep quiet a littlo while longer," she thought sitting on the stairs where the newly risen moon streamed in chilly splendor. "Father sleeps so soundly—end he is sure to go to sleep in his chair. I could just steal and release him as quietly as possible."

She sat there, her plump fingers interlaced, and her eyes fixedldreamily on the floor, whilo all the time her oars were strained to tho utmost capacity to cat-ch everv sound in the kitchen boyond. Hark! was.that the wail of the wind? or was it something to her literally "nearer and dearer?" Yes she could not bo mistaken now it was actually a snore.

Sfary rose -softly to her feet with renewed hope. Surely now was the accepted time. Noiselessly as the floating shadow she crossed tho hall, opened the kitclfen-door, andstolo across the creaking boards of the floor. The candles were burned out, but the shifting lustre of the fire-light revealed fether nodding before the fire, with closed eyes, and hands hanging by his sides.

With a heart that beat quick and fast, like the strokes of a miniature hammer, she drew the key from her dress-pocket and proceeded, in- spite of the nervous tromoling of her fingers, to fit it into the lock. So absorbed was she in her task that she never noticed the sudden cessation of the heavy breathing—never saw the deacon start suddenly into wakefulness and look around him. Love is blind, and equally true, it is deaf. The deacon rose with a shrewd twinkle in his eyes, and Mary gave a little frightened shriek as a hand fell softly on her arm, possessing itself quietly of the key.

LOT me help you," said Deacon Shermer. "Father, I—I found the key," faltered Maiy.

Found the key, eh?" returned the deacon. "Well, that't lucky, and now we can find out what's the matter with t«lio clock."

Mary's heart, throbbing so wildly a moment or two ago, seemed to stand absolutely still as Deacon Shermer turned the key and opened the tall door of the clock-case.

Hal—lo!" ejaculated Deacon Shermer, as Timothy Marshall tumbled laughingly into the room. "So you jvas the matter with tho old clock, en 1"

Yes, sir," said Tim. composedly. "I hope I haven't seriously Interfered with the works of the clock." "You've seriously Interfered with me?" said tho deacon, waxing indignant. "What do you mean, sir,by hiding In my house like a thief?"

Indoed I indeed I fether," cried Marv, bursting Into tears, "it wasn't hisfeuft. He didn't want to hide, but I put him there.'"

You did, eh And may I ask what for?" Father." filtered Mary, rather Irreverently, "1 love him, «nd he loves mo

Apparently "the course of true love." roughly thongh It ran, was overwhelming all his own worldly-wise arrangements to its tide.

And so you two young folks really think you love cnch other?" said the deacon, meditatively. "I love her with all my heart and soul," said Tim Marshall, earnestly. "I'm not rich, I know, but I Can work for her." "And I osn work for myself, too. fether," interposed Maty, with tears that shone like softened stars.

And you said yourself, sir." went Tim, "that the stopping of the clock meant either «a marriage or a death.' Of eo'.rse we don't want any deaths so don't you think tie most sensible thing we can do is to help on a marriage as •ootiastttNidbtsf"

The company manners of some are intense stupidity. It is a fact that many people arc really bright and charming at home, who are mere dumb clotheshorses when abroad. These are generally girls, or quite young women, afflicted with the consciousness of beauty and an eccentric toilette* The social part is done when they offer themselves for contemplation, like artists' mod Is. No human power has yet been found capable of drawing any one of them into a rational conversation, not to speak of an animated one, when they put on their company clotnos, and with them their company manners. Half an hour a$ when they were running about the house in their eveiy day frocks ana skirts, with maybe a rent hero and a patch there, they were as gay as larks and as lively as kittons. So soon as they come forth from their chamber adorned to sight, they are dead to spirit and sit through the evening struck dumb by tho knowledge that men admire them.

The company manner of some is to pose as statues. You wonder how they look when they are aslocp, or how they would act If tlio houso was on fire whether they would loso their classic graces then in tho wild demonstrations of fear, or pass between the smoko and tho flames like Didd deserted, or Iphlgoiiia on her way to sacrifice. As it is, they put on the slightly parted lips, tho bended brow, the curved arm, the throe-quar-ters fece, as trimmings to their long llmfc robes which slinilate tho flow of Pnidian draperies. When they move, they movo rhythmically every attitude Is studied BO as to fell into harmonious lines and they know tho exact value of each position and all tho best views. The whole of it Is company manner, without one shred of spontaniety or natural loveliness.

At home, and behind tho curtains of their privacy, they sit cross-legged, coll themselves ungracefully In tho ea*y chair, slope without regard to line against the chimney piece, lean their elbows oh tho table with their arms at sharp angles, neither graciously curved nor nobly posed and when they walk in safe places, not expecting to meet their ftien ls, they bowl along Jnst as any undaa dc vulgarism might without a thougl.t of their usual rote, which is to look like a figure out of the Hnnathcnalc friese or the last discovery at Pornpell. One girl glides about with scarce lifted feet, like a naiad floating rather than A woman walking when she has endued herself in a low frock and artificial flowers to her hair. Another makes a few short steps forwArd, with a curious little art of balancing herself on one foot if she Is arrested, never seen in private life, and always reserved for company. A third has a pretty, puaded air when you go up to speak to ucr then laughingly apologises as she pities hcrftelf fbr her stupid short-sightoefness, which she has put on with her white muslin and seUn shoes. This short-sightedness, by the way, Is a common form of company manner with both women and men. To

'»le. round, commonplace oomin h-'iii tlie natural point, and neither hu ut of a caverti, nor jerked from a hmall-huled flute, like the wind through a key-hole. And at home the llsper sounds all her s's clear and siblllant, and the pretty accent luis vanished and loft not a trace.

One person—lot us suppose a lady for the occasion—assumes, as tho company manner that best becomes her, exuberant gayety. She has been complimented on her "brightness on the vivacity of her fece, conversation, bearing on the enormous amount or vitality she must have to float her, as It hss done, over her troubles, perhaps over her forty years old on the delightful sparklo of her eye on her exquisitely rippling, delicious, hearty or jocund laugh. Henceforth brightness is put on with the pearl necklnoe and tho pink bows. At home she may Iks as gloomy as the dullest old crow that ever croaked but no sooner does company appear than she dresses her fece and demeanor in smiles and brightness and only those who know her understand the real meaning of her show. Another invests in grace and sweetness another in sympathy. Another, puts on tho presence of sorrow. Ethereal and refined melancholy goes as part of the dress which marks company. See her at her private lunch with her succulent beefsteak and glass of foaming stout. She Is probably one of the lean kind in her physiological conformation and She tells you, with tho accent of a martyr, that her doctor orders this diet, as the only thing that "keeps her up." But neither porter nor beefsteak cures the nameless sorrow that afflicts her when she has put on her company manners. You never know what it is that has made her so divinely, so enduringly sad no one knows. But her signs stir the diamonds on her heaving breast,where they sparkle prettily and profound melancholy goes equally well with the black velvet of tragedy aud the diaphanous grace of ethereality.

Nearly all the "newspapers have arrayed themselves on ono side or the other, and are discussing the merits of the amendment to the exclusion of almost eveiy other political topic.
