"ONLY the music teacher,"• said Mabel Ainslie, in reply to an enquiry from her companion, es they heard a timid double knock at the frodt door. She sattakmitete wife jtr �atsaell p,,,, Sydney, a handsome, wealthy young baronet, on whom the haughty bell,' - turned her eyes with a softened lustre. " The music teacher ! Are you tak- ing lessons, Miss Ainslie!" he asked. "Yea," -she repfii+l; " airy ray hour. if you have nothing to do, however, you may stay here and look over the pictures and read till I re- turn. I generally gas tired and wind op my lcssoo in about half an hour_" " I love music so well that I would gladly stay ov-M—W rear you practice," beTeplied. - " Vett' well, but you moat stop your ears when I come to the scales," said Mtbsl. laughingly, as she left the MOM, 81r Russell Sidney admired Mabel's beauty and elegancewith sufficient warmth to have his sentiments for her kindled into love, if no adverse fates interfered, and his regard had now reached a critical point at which the scale must soon be turned. He list- ened eagerly for the sound of her voice, for music formed so important an element in his existence that he wiabed the woman whom he might choose should possess a fine votce. Mabel's, however, disappointed hits. It was correct, but cold and lifeless. The electric spark did not glow in its tones. But ere long another voice broke on the air, so warm, so full of sympathy. and of airy, exquisite sweetness, that Ilit up by clear grey eyes, and shaded by waving black hair that rippled on her temples. The first song Mabel sang was Schubert's Gondola song, one in which the effect of the song is greatly height ened by the weird, rich beauty of the accompaniment, that tin majority of the hearers listened more eagerly to this -TS to the -iowerwrAfter Mabel finished singing a Isdf etwnehng near lwggKai-° Ace--to-triai, acding that one who accompanied the singing of 8thers EO beautifully must surly sing well herself. This request being seconded by a large circle Mabel and her mother were forced to let Alice comply. Never had Mabel's beauty shone wtth • brighter lustre than on that night; but her haughty, jealous na- ture chafed as she saw Sydney bending over Alic t in long and earnest conver- sation. She resolved that never again should he see Alice, if she oould pre vent it, in which ease she tollgate her own attractions could speedily eradi- oatoosair..ampressign .:thA.utri music teacher might have made on But fate defies all human calcula- tions. Not lung afterwards Mabel went to a concert with a party of fneendi, S'dicefbeing one of the num- along in the tide of melody. The song was Uounod'r- delicious " Frnhling- (lied " (Spring Song); and as *he singer went on, it seemed to Sidney that he could see the fragrant green and tender violets springing around him. -Snow and i1 a Ly oo the ground. The wintry breeze sighed through the bare trees ; but all this passed from his consciousness. in the bright vision of spring which the voice called up. He drew a long breath of regret when the song came to a close ; but when Mabel repeated it after her teacher, although she did so very well, as far as the execution was concerned, yet the spell was broken, and snow, sleet and wintry wind were no longer conjured away. " Who is your teacher !" asked Sid- ney, eagerly, when Mabel returned " As the Mohamntans say of the Angel Israel, ' Her heart string are a lute, and she has the greatest voice of all God's creatures.' " " She is Mia Alice Leslie,' said Mabel, coldly. " She is a good teacher I think. which is very fortunate for her, in her reduced circumstances." "Is her music all her livelihood 1" asked Sidney " Yes. She is an orphan, and has a little brother and sister dependent on hery Her f.ther was a di•eipated man and made • complete wreck of his property ; but fortunately gave the girl some advantages of education be- fore he totally rgnandered his estate. Sir Russell Sydney seemed disposed t?1 question Mabel further about, the young a.uiic teacher ; but he`` replies sr, were so brief that, after avfltile, he could not avoid seeing that the topic , was unwelcome, and so dropped it. Some weeks after this conversation Mahal gave a musical soiree. " T don't wish to have Min Leslie here at all," said she to her mother ; " but no one else platys my accompani- ments eo welL But remember, malt ma, I do not wish her asked to sing." When the gnarls were all aseessoled there was one who looked strange among the gety con paaj: , t► 'voiles/ weenie dreamed with • lady -like ration m e ns - 1 but perfe`t simplicity ; the face ber. Who should enter and take the seat in front of them but Aline and a lady friend who had brought her thither, knowing her passionate ipso for music. _ _..- Alice was sufficiently near for Syd- ney to readily enter into conversation with her ; "end, gradually, he trans ferred his attentions almost entirely to her, as the concert went on. and he tound that no one in his party could enter into it with the keen delight ispd subtle appreciation that Alice showed. Her beautiful eyes kindled, her cheeks glowed, her breath became quick and short. There was a greater beauty in her face, for the time, than in Mabel's. She. and Sydney enjoyed, with kindred rapture, Beethoven's immortal seventh symphony, filled with such unearthly, mysterious beauty that it sounded like angels talking together. They entered with keenest enjoyment into each note of 'Mendelsaoho's wonderful " Capriccio Brilliant," into the heaven- ly, sweet " Krevtzer Sonata," and all the selections from the grand masters. Seldom were two persons gifted with a filter musical intuition The concert had but one alloy ,to them, which was that it must comae to a close. -T,.. aia6nl .tela..-C1caa Awad ..l Her jealousy and chagrin had so mas- tered her al to make her forget com- mon good breeding. She threw scorn- ful glances on Alice, and whispered derisive remarks on her dress and ap- pearance. Sydney could not help overhearing some of these, and -they had the effect of making him more deferential and attentive to Alice than he was before, and he wondered how he could ever have thought Mabel so beautiful when her expreuion was so haughty and arrogant. For t►eeks Alice went bravely and hopefully about her work. But at length a day Dame when she could no longer go. nhe had never been very strong, physically ; and r xposure to weather and insufficient food and clothing commenced to tell on her frame ; she strugged bravely again.t the sickness; but at length she had to yield and lie prostrate. It wrung her heart to see the little Loy and girl, who were dependent on her efforts. They dil all that childish care and skill were capable of, but thought* of them increased her malady, for the terrible idea would flash over hor that she might die and leave them desti- tute. Dunng her illness, Sydney asked Mabel several times, " Where is your teacher t She seems never to come here now." _ Beery • time he .asked Mabel she made the same reply -she was forti- fied in Mr resolve never to have Aline there again. it was in the flint flush of spring when Alice crept forth from her sick room. A faint hint and whisper of the Doming sweetness and bloom lurked in the air. Still weak and faint, her brave resolve bore her up' as she wended her way along. Be- sides the necessity there was for her to gain their daily bread she had to work, too, for the past, as her sickliest bad brought her into debt. She was .not able to give lessons that day. bet wished to fir the hours for future 'At the first home to which she went her reception was discouraging.

Alice felt her strength ebbing away to such a decree that she was thank- ful for her support of his arm; and the support of his presence was great- er still. She could not nerve herself against gentleness and consideration. Her blended emotions, joined with her physical weakness, made her burst in- to t ars.
