snazzar s opportunu.ies, on tne other sido of the balance aro put Belshazzar's sins.r The sins come down. His opportunities go up, Weighed in the balances found wanting. There has been a great deal of cheating in our country with false weights and measures and - balances,, and the government, to change that state of things appointed commissioners whose business it was to stamp weights and balances, and a great deal of the wrong has been corrected. But still, after all, there is no such thing as a perfect balance on earth. The chain may brake, or some of the metal may be clipped, or in some wayrthe equipose may be a little disturbed. . . You cannot always depend upon earthly balanced A pound is not always a pound, and you may pay for one thing and get another; but in the balance which is suspended to the throne of God, a pound is a pound, end right is right, and wrong is wrong, and a soul is a soul, and eternity is eternity. God has a perfect bushel and a perfect peck and a perfect, gallon. When merchants weigh their goods in the wrong way, then the Lord weighs the goods again. If from the imperfect measure the merchant pours out what pretends to be a gallon of oil and

there is less thana gallon, God knows

heaven. because it is a land of gold, and

money must bo "easy. " . find from talking with him that religion and the Sabbath are an interruption, a vulgar interruption, and ho hopes on the way to church to drum up a now customer! All the week ho has been weighing fruits, weighing meats, weighing ice, weighing coals, weighing confections, weighing worldly ana perishable commodities, not realizing tho fact that ho himself has been weighed. On your sido the balances, O worldling! I will give yon full advantage. I put on your side all the banking houses, all the store houses, all the cargoes, all the insurance companies, all the factories, all tho silver, all the gold, ail the money vaults, all the safe deposits all on your side. But it does not add one ounce, for at the very moment we are congratulating you on your fine house and upon your princely income, God and tho angels are writing in regard to your soul : 1 V eighed an d f ou nd wan tin g ! ' ' But I must go faster and speak of the final scrutiny. The fact is, my friends, we are moving on amid astounding realities. These pulses which now are drumming tho march of life, may, after a while, call a halt. We walk on a hair hung bridge over chasms. A'll aronnd lis are dangers lurk ing ready to spring on us from ambush. We lie down at night, not knowning whether wo-shall arise in the morning. Wo start out for our occupations, not knowing whether we shall come back. Crowns being

ou. The farmer comes in from the country."" He has apples to sell. He has an imperfect measure. He pours out the apples from this imperfect measure. God recognizes it He says to the recording angel: Mark down so many apples too fewan ., imperfect measure." We may cheat ourselves and wo may cheat the world, but we cannot cheat God, and in tho great day of judgement it will be found out that what we learned in boyhood at school la correct; that twenty hundred weight make a ton, and one hundred and twenty olid feet make a cord of wood. No more, no less, and a religion which does not take hold of this life as well as the life to come is no religion at all. But, my friends, that is not the style of balances I am to speak of today that is not the land of weights and measures. I am to speak of that kind of balances which can weigh principles weigh churches, weigh mn, weigh nations and weigh worlds. "What!" yon say, is it possible that our world is to be weighed I" Yes. Why, you would think if God put on one side the balances snspendea from the throne the Alps, and the Pyrenees, and the Himalayas, and Mount Washington, and all the cities, of the earth, they would crush it. No, no. The time will come when God will sit down on the white throne to see the world weighed, and on one side will be the world's opportunities, and on the other side the world's sinsi Down will go the sins and away will go the opportunities, and God will say to the messengers with the torch : 'Burn that world ! weighed and found wanting !" So God will weigh churches. He takes a great church. That great church, according to the worldly estimate, must be weighed " He puts it on one side the balances, and the minister and the choir and the building that cost its hundreds of thou-' sands of 'dollars.1- He puts them on one aide the balances. On the other side of the scale he puts what that church ought to be, what its consecration ought to be, what its sympathy for the -poor ought to be, what its devotion to all good ought to? be. That is on one side. That side comes down, and the church,, not being able to stand the test; rises in th balances. It kdoes not make any difference about your magnificent machinery. A church is built for one thing to save souls. If it saves a few souls when itmight save a multitude of - souls, God will : spew it out of v his. mouth. Weighed and . found wanting! So God estimates nations. How many times he has put the Spanish monarchy into the scales, and found it insufficient and condemned it ! The French empire was placed on one side the scales, ana God weighed the French empire, and Napoleon said : ,4Have-I not enlarged the boulevards? Did 1 not kindle the glories of the Champs ElyseesS HaVe I not adorned the Tuileries? Have I not built the gilded Opera housei" ' Then God weighed tho nation, and he put on one side tne scales the emperor, and the boulevards, and the

xnuenes, ana tne unamps jMysees..anu mo gilded Opera house, and on the other side he puts that man's abominations, that man's

libertinism, that man's selfishness, that

man's godless ambition. This last came down, and all the brilliancy of. -the scene vanished! What is. that voice coming up -from Sedan? Weighed and found wanting ! But I must become more individual and more personal in my address. Some people say they do not think clergymen ought to be personal in their religious address, but ought to deal with subjects in the abstract. I do not think that way. What would you think of a hunter who should ap to the Adirondacks to shoot deer in the abstract? Ah I no. He loads the gun, he puts the butt of it against the breast, he runs his eye along the barrel, he takes aim, and then crash go the antlers on the rocks. And so, if we want to be hunters for the Lord, we must take sure aim and fire. Not in the abstract are we to treat .things in religious Oiscussfohs. if a pnysiciaJ comes into a sick room, does he treat disease in the abstract? No ; he feels the pulse, takes the diagnosis, then he makes the prescription. Ana if we-'Waqt to seal souls for this life and the life to com e, we do not want to treat them in the abstract. . The fact is, you and 1 have a malady which, if uncured bj grace, will kill us forever. Now, I want no abstraction. Whereis the balm? Where is the physician? . ,v People say there is a day of judgment coming. My friends, every day is a day of Judgment and you and I to-day are being canvassed, inspected, weighed Here are the balances of the sanctuary. They are lifted, and we must all . be ... weighed: Who will come and be weighed first? Here is a moralist who volunteers. He is one of - the most upright men in the country. He comes. Well, my brother, get in get in the balances now, and be weighed. But as he gets into the balances, I say: "What is that bundle you have along with you?" Oh," he says, that is my reputation for froodness, and kindness, and charity, and generosity, and kindliness generally;" -.0 my brother! we cannot weigh that; we are going to weigh you you. Now, stand in the scales you, the moralist. Pairt your debts?" "Yes," you say,; "paid all my : debts." Have you acted in an upright way. in the community?". "Yes, yes," "Have you been kind to the poor? Are you faithful in a thousand relations in life?" YeS." ;"S6 far, so good. But now, before youret out of this scale, I want to ask you two' or three questions. Have yonr thoughts always oeen right? ilN o," yon say; "no." Put down one mark. "Have you loved the Lord with all your heart, and soul, and mind and strength?" "No," you say. Make another mark: "Come now, be frank, and confess that in ten thousand things vou have come short have yOu not?".' " 44 Yes." Make ten thousand marks. Come now, get me a book large enough to make the record of that moralist's deficits. My brother, stand in the scales, do not fly away from them . I put on your side the scales all the good deeds you ever did, all the kind words you ever uttered ; but on the other side the scales I w?s- this weight which God says I must put there on the V other side the scales and opposite to yours I put this weight r "By the deeds of thela w shall no fle?h living be justified;" .Weighed and found wanting, ; T. - ; ' Still, the balances of the sanctuary are suspended and we are ready to weigh any who co me. Who shall be the next? Well, here is a formalist. He comes and he gets into the balances, and as he srets in I see that all his religion is in genuflexions and in outward observances. As he gets into the scales I say : "What is that you have in this pocket?" "Oh !" he . says, 'that is Westminster Assembly Cateohism." I say; "Very good. W7hat have you in the other pocket?1? "Oh!" he says, "that" is the

Heidelberg Catechism" ."Very good. What is that ynu have under your arm, standing in th balance of the sanctuary'!'' "Oh !'? he says, "that is a church record," "Very good. Vhat are these books on your side the balances?" "Oh!" he says, "tnoso are 'Calvin's Institutes,' " "My brother, we are not weighing books ; we are weighing you. It cauoot be that you are aependingfor your salvation upon your orthodoxy. Do you not know that the creeds and the forms of religion are merely the scaffolding for the building?

: stretching out skeleton hands to pull thee ! down into ruin consummate. Suddenly the judgment will be here. The angel with

one loot on tne sea ana tne otner loot on the land, will swear by him that liveth for ever ana ever that time shall bo no longer: "Behold, he Cometh with clouds, and every eye shall seo him." Hark to the jarring of the mountains. Why, that is the setting down of the scales, the balances. And then there is a flash as from a cloud, but it is the glitter, of the shinn ing balances, and they are hoisted, and all nations are to be weighed. The un forgiven get in on this side the balances. They may have weighed them selves and pronounced a flattering decision The world may have weighed them and pro nounced them moral. Now they are being weighed in God's balauces that can mak no mistake. All the property gone, all the titles of distinction gone, all tho worldly success gone; there is a soul, absolutely nothing but a soul, an immortal soul, a never dying soul, a soul stripped of all-worldly advantages, a soulon one side the scales, on the other side tbe balances are wasted Sabbaths, disregarded sermons, ten. thou sand opportunities of mercy and pardon that were cast aside. They are on the other side the scales, and there God stands, and in the presence of men and devils, cherubim and archangel, he announces while groauing earthquake, and crackling conflagration, and judgment trumpet, and everlasting storm repeat it; . "Weighed m the balance, and found wanting," But, say some who are Christians: "Cer tainly you don't mean to say that we will have to get in the balances? Our sins are all pardoned,' our title to heaven is secura Certainly you are not going to put us in the balances?" Yes, my brother. We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, and on that day .you are certainly going to be weighed. - 0 follower of Christ! you get into the balances. The bell of the judgment is ringing. You must get into the balances. You get in on this side. On the other side the balances we will place all the opportunities of good which you did not improve, all the attainments in piety which you might have had, but which you refused to take. We place them ail on the other side. They go down, and your soul rises in the scale. t ou cannot weigh against ail those imperfections. ,-; AVeU, then, we must give you the advantage, and on your sido the scales we will place all the good deeds you have ever done, and all the. kind words you have ever uttered. Too light yet I Well, we must put on your side all the consecration of your life, all the holiness of your life, all the prayers of your life, all the faith of your Christian life- Too light yet! Come, mighty men of the past, and get in on that side the scales. Come, Payson. and Doddridge, and Baxter, get in on that side the scales and make them come down, that this righteous one may be saved. They come and get in the scales. Too light yet! Como, the martyrs, the Latimers, tho Wickliffes, the men who suffered at tfce stake for Christ. Get on this side the Christian's balances, and see if you cannot help him weigh it aright. They come and got in. Too light ! Come, angels of God on high. Let not the righteous perish with the, wicked. They get in on this sidtf the balances. Too light yet ! 1 put on this side the balances all the scepters of light, all the thrones of power, all the crowns of glory. Too light yet But just at that poin Jesus, the sOn oi God, comes up to tho balances, and he puts ono of his scarred feet on your side, and the balances hegin to tremble from top to bottom. Then he puts both of his scarred feet on the balances, and the Christian's side come down with a stroke that sets all-the bells of heaven ringing. That rock of Ages heavier than any other weight. nut says tD8 Christian: "Am I to be allowed to get off so easily?" Yes. If some one should oome and put on the other 8idethe scales all your imperfections, all your envies, all your jealousios, all your inconsistencies of life, they would not budge the scales with Christ on your side the scales. Go free! There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. Chains broken, prison houses opened, sins pardoned. Go free! Weighed in the balances, and nothing, nothing wanted. Oh! what a gfyrious hope.. Will you accept it this dar? Christ making up for what you lack, Christ the atonement for all your sins. , . -Who will accept him? Will not this whole audience say: 1 urn insufficient, I am a sinuer, I am , lost by reason of my transgressions, but Christ has paid it all. My Lord, and my God, my life, my pardon, my heaven. Lord Jesus, I hail thee.' Ohl if you could only understand the worth ol that sacrifice, this whole audience would

this moment accept Christ and be saved.

We go away off, or back into history, to get some illustration by which we may sot forth what Christ has done for us. We need not go so far. I saw a vehicle behinq a runaway horse: dashing through the street, a mother and her two children in the carriage. The horse dashed along ai though to hurl them to death, and a mounted policeman with a shout clearing the way, and the horse at full run, attempted to seize those runaway .horses and to save a -calamity, when his own horse fell and rolled over him. He was picked up half dead. Why were our sympathies so stirred? Because he waa badly hurt, and -hurt for others. But I tell you to-day of how Christ, the. Son of God, on the blood red horse of sacrifice came for our rescue, and rode down the sky nnd rode unto death for our rescue,. Are not y out hearts touched? That was a sacrifice foi you and me. O thou who didst ride on the red horse of sacrifice ! come this hour, and ride through this assemblage on the white horse of victory.

TOO LATE.

A Story of Si Valentines Day,

CHAPTER OL Nell could not be perkiaded; she remained a recluse from the September that saw the departure)!' Lyon Leslie to tho opening of the Ch ristmas following-. People nodded and, whispered. Some said sbo was engaged to the handsome soldier, others that she was pining in secret; but Neil made no sign. "She was cheerful as; ever in manner, if not so buoyant as? of yore, and performed her usual routine oi parish duty; but, besides persistently refusing to mix in the towns entertainments, she sought less, and less tho society of the companions with whom she had been intimate. She took her rides alone, . and her" walks too, at least, so far as human fe llowship went, but with a goodly company of dogs, her twin brother's, special property and trust to her. Wanderings of hours they took together, but wanderings that brought no roses to tho girl's pale cheek, nor added vigor to her limbs. Her eyes seemed to grow larger, and their inner light more earnest. At times too, she was fretful, and day by day grew more silont ?tad abstracted. Mrs. Thanet was disturbed; she did not think it wise to force hei daughter's confidence; still, she felt that tho present eondition of tbings could not be permitted to continue without a word, and a Tery difficult word to speak she foltthat word would be. Intuitively sho knew that, whatever had passed between her daughter and Lyon Leslie, no definite engagement had been enterod into. She mistrusted the man. Bui, like the prudent woman she was, she bided her time, aud that arrived suddenly. A note from Mrs. Kennett to hor sister-in-law informed her of their arrival at the iBall for Christmas. The next day Mrs. Kennett, accompanied by Janet, drove into Thorpe and stayed to luncheon with her relatives. Janet, keen as a -hawk, espied a change in her cousin. you are mooning after Randall," she said. :You are to come to the Hall for Christmas, wad Randall too. Uncle Nottle" hor respectful dimihutivofor Squire Nettlothorpe 'says so, mamma says so, and I say so ; so it is unfait accompli." ; v At the Hall Nell al ,yays shared the same room with her cousin. This had hitherto . been a great enjoyment to both! girls.. Now Noil would have wished it otherwise, ut she foil into the usual arrangement without a hint of her desire. It was the most confidential hour in the twenty-four, the hour before lying down to rest?, Then the girls, arrayed in their dainty dressing-gowns, sat over the cheery fire and exchanged confidences. The confidence of these cousins differed essentially .from those usually indulged in by the average youngf lady of the period. Men .played a subordinate part, and persons generally. They used to build castles in the air, to sketch out "great things to do," to criticize their current reading, discuss authors and artiste, and bewail the proscribed lot of their own' sex. ; ! Nell's hair pas long and wavy, dart brown, with a goldor, shcqn. Janets was black as raven's .wing, straight and glossy. They san, brush in hand, 4dly drawing it over t'aeir silky tresses, 'anon letting it fall inno their laps and, throwing tne rebellious locks back from their iaoes, looking into the'gleaming aBh; . Nell spoke first. ! You must have lots to tell me, Janet : you have been everywhere." "Which amounts )raotically to nowhere. I have no distinct recollections of any place in particular, Dresden and Dussendorf suggf-st well, colored canvas. From gallery to gallery we were trotted, catalogues in hand, and impovers behind. It didnt elevate my scriptural conceptions. I assure you ; things got mixed, and for the life of me. I couldn't recollect Biblical facts apart with heathen myths. " But Paris ? Oh , how I long to see Paris!" ;, 'Well, Paris is charming, but, my dear, disillusionisinI When I shut my eyes and think, I seem to see nothing but architecture', and to hear the Marseillaise." "The Rhine, Janet, and Switzerland, and Italy! Are you. ; weary of those, toop". . ; . "Yes, and no. There are bits of the Clyde the Rhine can never touch ; there are passages anci torrents and glens in the Highland all the grand Alps cannot show; and Italy sent me-to sleep." . 'you are such a homo bird, Janet; you are insular." , " Well, you see, Nell Janet took up her brush, and began to draw it over her haii' you. see i wa M in the way of education. It was to expand our minds, mamma said , and all that sort of thing. Now, if you were given some favorite lollypop and told it contained a tonic, would you enjoy it ? Npr-emphatieally no ! "-an d the brush forked with a will.

1 I wish you and I c ould go off togeth-

eaid Nell, on from island unto

island. But then I have no money. J wish we could; Ranclall would go with ns and write a grand, poem." . 'Poetry's only good for tho gods," Announced her cousin, I am practical." " . . .. " Sp am I, Janet, more so than you perhaps; but one may stand oh earth and look at heaven." "NeU, you have become quite ro mantle, and I want to know, the reason why," Janet asked regarding the other critically. '. -:. Nell blushed rosy red, and, with sudden vigor, began to bxus h her wavy looks. 'What nonsense you talk, Janet! I suppose, if I repeated one of Topper's platitudes, you'd call me a phiioso pher. There is jusb as much analogy oetween supposed philosophy as between me and romance." ., ;; "I thought we were bosom-friends, NeU, real bosom, friends. I know I never had a secret from you, and you! used never to have one from, -mo."

"I have no secret, Janet; there is nothing to tell." . 'Nothing to toll when there is everything to suspect? Ah, Nell, absence does not make the heart grow fonder! You have grown cold to me." Noll turned her great mournful eyes to her cousin in some siuch way as a half-frightened deer. She wondered how much Janet knew. ''ou would have been the very first I would have told," continued Janet, still in a tone of reproach. '"When Mr. Ancltvo did me the honor to say he was 'willin', before .1 oven gave $im his conge the idiot! I told you." But no one has laid such valuables at my foot, Janet. " You have been listening to idle soip." "Hasu'l he? Tnen he is a mean, good-for-nothing, mercenary, cruel " Nell put her hand ou her cousin's mouth. How can you. Janet! What have you heard? And do you for a moment suppose I could ever even waste a thought on anyone deserving such ins'nuations? I could not love unworthUy," Nell spoke very calmly, but coldly. Janet's heart was on lire. Sho feared for her cousin, and she was hurt at her reticence. "I know your estimate, your highflown idea of love," sho cried, pushing Nell's hand aside not a little roughly. "You would believe all tilings, hope all things, and endure all things. " Hor voice took a tone of scorn. "You go too far, Janet," returned Nell haughtily. "I would n ever give my lovo unsought; once given, it would be forever, and I would endure nothing derogatory to my self-respect. Even in friendship endurance has its limits." "Nell, I will not bq frozen out of your heart." The uia willing tears stood in Janet's eyes; she felt, if this appeal failed, Nell would never give her her confidence, and her heart' was full of dread for her cousin. "You are, far, far cleverer than I am, Nelf, far, far more beautiful; I am only protty, and your judgment is clearer; but, oh, Nell, darling, all this is but in part, all this vanishes away at the little word, love' ! Love blinds such as you, Nell, for such as you love transcenden tally. They make for themselves an ideal, a. fetish, and thus worsliip with blind idolatry. Such as I, Nell, love through the heart and common-sense, and with eyes wide open, tod we are safe. You make shipwreck oi' all." With" a sudden resolve, Nell threw her shrouding hair back, caught it deftly in her hands, and wound it in a groat sheaf, letting in fall so, semiconfined, on her shoulders.. Then, cold and pale, she rose to her feet and said softly, yet sternly "You are right, Janet; I owe our 'friendship confidence ; you must never recur to tho subject until I give you leave. I'll tell you all I have to tell you now, and, believe me, I am stronger than you give me credit for. Lyon Leslie loved me and I loved him that is all. He will come back some day and take me away." "Nell, did he say he would ?" "No; why should he? Love has not many word3, love doee not need many words. I know he will." "Ono more question, Nell, and Tve done. Did ho ask you to be his wife? That does not take, many, words." "No ; why should he? He said he loved me, and he knew I loved him. What else can such love end in but urdon hero and hereafter ? " There was a faint down of color on thd girl's pale cheek, and her eyes literally glowed with light. For tho moment Janet was awed. Such faith, ouch love, were beyond her ken. Sho recovered herself with a groan. Clutching her brush aggressively, she said mentally " If he plays her false, Til " What sho would do sho did not express further : she let the brush drop from her hand, and flung herself into her cousin's arms with a burst of tears. 1 "My darling, my darling," she cried, "may he prove worthy of the heart he has won ! I will hope with you." ; She asked nothing . further, and in this she was wise. Unconsciously to herself Nell felt relieved... by what had passed; her burden seemed lighter and hope fairer. There was quite a heap of Christmas cards pn Noll's plate when she came down to breakfast on Christmas morning somo gifts more substantial, too, One more than the others attracted comment. It was a massive gold locket, of barbaric design, covered with raised hieroglyphics, and attached to a slight chain of linked rings. There was nothing inside the locket nor did word on imitation accompany it. It was an' anonymous gift. The address oh the wrapping was in the handwriting evidently of tho tradesman from whom1 it had probably been bought. It went tho round of the table; every one but Janet had asuggestion as to the donor. Nell, too, was silent here. She did not know how could she, when there was neither note or initial to help her? Pe rhaps hor new bro ther-in -law sent it, she suggested; ho : had not given hor a bridesmaid's token, and. r had promised to mako'up for his omissions some day. ..-3 ' 'Yes, some day, " cried Eandall. "I know what Barton's siome day means; it moans to-day. He's just the biggest screw between John o' Groat's, and Land's End, and would as soon think of buying an. uninteresting " creature like a sister-in-law a magnificent locket like that as of getting himself anew hat; a thingLhe hasn't done; his' own brother says, since his head stopped growing. . , Nell could have bo?:ed her brother's ears with a will; - I shall have a letter in a d ay . or two," ; sho said , returning ; tho looket to its case with trembling fingers. ' "T have a rich godmother, J believe." " W ha t, Lady Mor ton ? " again put in the unlucky Randall. "Why, Nell, you ave making bad shots!' Why, she never even sent you a mug at your christening mother uaido! Besides, I'm sure she's dead." .'., .a"No," said Noll, not a little put out, "she is- alive and weB. Papa sent her a Persian kitten latel y. " Then Janet came to the rescue, p " 'I've got someti.ing mysterious, too," she cried: and she, showed up an .onyx brooch, with a beautifully exe? cuted jay in diamonds, sol in the center. , ...... "Not much mystery in that!" oxr claimed one of her sisters. 'It's the Baron, I'm sure. Dp get a pebble, Jan , and have a gaud or don in briU Hants, and send it to.him:'1 ' "" "I like the Baron, Cis," was Janet's reply, ''and I do foind dp brooch Ver' lovely." All laughecL at the mimicry. Loyal Janet raad no allusion , to Nell's gift. It disappeared from sight and was soon forgotten in the divergencies of Christratis-tide-rforgotten l)y all but the recipient and Janet. A close scrutiny, when by herself, revealed to Nell a se'ret spring within the apparently void case. She touched it and a thin layer of gold flew back, aisclosed a tiny ring of dark hair, fastened with a gold thread. Witt passionate pisses the girl re

placed it in its hiding-place, then laid the locket to her heart and looked up. wards, her eyes radiant with joy and her bosom heaving. Before putting it away, till she could devise a plan ol wearing it unseen, she examined the delicate chain, holding it up to the light, and within each ring she discov ored, in fine but clear tracery th words "Dinna forget." Jflb happier eyes closed in . , rest that Christmai night in Nettiethorpe's overflowing Hall than beautiful Nell Thanet's; The last day of December was the twins' birthday. On that day they were nineteen years old. They had

wished to return home to spend it with 1 their parents, but the cousins would

not hear of it. In the morning they rode into Thorpe, a merry party of four, received felicitations and loving offerings from their family, and returned, little loath, to the luxurious Hall. . There had been an arrival in the interim, a most unexpected and awkward arrival the Baron von Melkenburg. He had followed quickly in the wake of his messenger bird, the brilliant jay. In Mrs. Nettiethorpe's boudior there TO not a little commotion. Mrs. Kennett denied having given any special invitation to tho gentleman. He had seemed to be an admirer of horses, and she had once said, in quite a casual way, that, if he over came to England, she would like him to see her brother's stud, never dreaming that he would take her ad her word in this off-handed fashion. ' "If he i were not a foreigner, " said .the lady of the house, slightly molified 'I should give him his conge at once; Sbut foreigners have , different codes of 'etiquette, to ours, and, according to jbis, he may be quite en regie. Jasper" alluding to her husband 'will he in shortly, and I shall hand oyer the intruder to him.". At this juncture, Janet,, followed by Nell and Randall, joined the conclave in the boudoir. Sha was even moro surprised than her mother and sisters at tho occurrence, and much more Irate, for it had been she whom the Baron had honored with his addresses, fend she was conscious that she had shown him in a plain enough, manner that they were distasteful; she. had been amused, ' and perhaps just a littio Battered. It was a most awkward situation. " . ; "Whereis he?" she asked much distressed. . w , "In the drawing-room," said her young sister Polly, not a littio mischievously. "He has been there all by himself, for the last half-hour. He camo, in a carriage and pair, like a grand seigneur, from Thorpe. - And Calton their maid "says . he has brought a lot of luggage, ' The good-natured squire, when he heard of the Baron's advent, desired Ithat his unbidden guest should bo ens tertained, promising that in the mean-

me ho would endeavor to ascertain

ore of his staim in society than the

eunetts appeared to know.

The Baron appeared quite at his ease. The Squire had joined him in jthe drawing-room, and had given him a courteous welcome,- if not" a hearty ne. But he, at first sight, disliked the man. .;. The re was an effi'ontery in tiis ease, an affectation of equality that sat awkwardly, and a certain sharpness of glance that repelled the simple downright Englishman. , , "A,, man to , guard against;" hvi thought; but nothing more. At dinner the Baron appeared in an elaborate toilet, with' much jewelry and profuse perfume. Nell said very little; but she made him her , close study the whole evening. She was in better spirits than she had been since Ly on Leslie's departure. - . Her wit waa bright to-night. " . In the drawing-room later, Andrew attached himself to Nell; he had lately shown symptoms of succumbing to. his beautiful cousin's attractions. A hint of this he ventured in her ear, resting by her side in the noble conservatory. Which, this night a blaze of light, opened out of the. drawing room. Tho girl was .in no mood for whispers of that sort. She felt as one feels when a strange foot approaches a spot sacred to some cherished memory; but she liked her cousin, so warned him off gently, but firmly. , ' V "Now, be sensible, Andrew," she said; "if you want to keep your hand in,' there is Lady Bab" -indicatmg with her fan the Lady Barbara Meryilie, a neice of the Squire, a large blonde, handsome, and an heiress "she is always ready, you know." Nell," he said, faidy turning his back on the lady in question- 'Nell, we have always been good friends. ", "Always,, cousin mine; let us remain so," ,.'.,.,,. - ' fl have the lock of hair you , gave me tvo years ago. I was looking at it this evening before dinner. Your hair has changed Nell; it hasn't the true goldenstint it hadis it a symbol Of your heart?" . ' , "1 have yours too," she said, lightly and evasively. "It was don e up in a sweeping sheaf with Lucy's,. Polly's and Janet's, and sot in a gold-rimmed brooch. Tibbs'' -the Thorpe jowelloi "did it, and I kept it for home adornment." He bit his lip V " - "Do you know," he said, "I think you country girls are much moro accomplished flirts 5 than town belles? You make a fellow feel awfully small. I've thought so much of you, Nell. Do you remember the kiss you gave me ono Chris 'mas under the mistletoe P I do. '' And he looked . into her averted face appealinglyimpioringly': : :" 'And so do I, coz" meeting his love4.or.ri eyes frankly. "And, if you're good' you shall- have another this Christmas, under the,, mistletoe;" and she hold up her face play fully.; I would rather have it under the rose," he said, pulling .forward a branch of a Marshal Niel in bloom, and arching it between thorn. Sho laughed, ignoring his naore serious intent. . - .; '.."You are. such a boy, Andrew !" she said. ' "Do be . sensible, that's a good follow. I- wanted to ask you about that baron, and here you are rehearsing a flirtation with me, 'V'.,5 Andrew's jealousy was fired, "Oh, I'll tell you all you want to know!" he cried; ' ' 'Hes rioh that's the main point; ho says he's been in the Prussian Guards, and he sings like a nightingale- not one of which recommendations I possess." . .:. "You dear old goosey-gander," said Neil, with, frank affection, "do be sensible--this is the third time of asking. I liko your litMo finger better than his whole baronial" carprtfaha made a gesture of dislike, It is so hard, when I wanta friond, to find a-a Bpoou ;" and 'her laugh rang out merrily. Poor Andrew was inT earnest; he ShO'ived signs of sulks. " It's all that recriiiting fellow " - he muttered. I know him; ho has fooled'no ond of girls:" ; , Noll was equally determined not to quarrel with her cousin; but she bit her Up, - ," ' "There's the piano," she said; "they're going to dance. Come, I'll irivo you tho first." He seized hor hand. "Wait a moment," she crie.,
