MARCIA'S FOR TUNE..
"Well, I wish yon had: one," ;laid
Tom, a trifle nettled. "I'd like to see
you, win her; and, to take you On your
Own tack, What% the use of eataying itt
the hindrances; if you can get out of
them ?"
"I don't know," said Marcia, doubt-
fully; for his manner was very convinc-
ing, and his eyes still more so, as he
looked clown into hers. "You must de-
cide for yourself„I suppose."
-
"‘You haven't asked me when I'm
going?"
"No ; soon, I hope."
"What 1 so anxious to be rid of

"It's so dreadful eo think of yOu going
away, that I had rather have you go
and get it over with."
"Well, I sail next Wednesday, and
I'm goingto leave 3 ou tomorrow night
for good.", •
"For good.!" repekted Maroia,I losing
her color for a mulatto.-,
"Yes," said Tom softly; "add I can't
tell for how long; but when I come
back, rIl be somebo y."
"Marcia. dinner' ready !" screamed
Olive ; mad the loves went in.
The next night there was a full
moon, and Tom and Marcia stood, by
the laboratory door • just before he was
going away,
"What an unearthly old den it looks in
the moonlight !" said Torn ; "it would
be a capital study for a painting as itis,
or still better lit up by a bright light
from the furnace in the centre, i:iid lots
of the old pots and pane around, and
the old gentleman himself stirring the
kettle. I wonder the old place h,asn't
been ferreted out long ago by some of
the artists who go to the cliffs." I
"Don't talk about it," said Marcia,
with a glance over her shoulder; "I
never see the place or think of it with-
out feeling as if I hated it, for if it had ,
never been built, we should have been
a
as rich as we wanted to be, and I I
shouldn't have been buried. alive here 1
all the year round.",
"You feel, in fact, like. the daughter of
the (Jiesars, contemplating the palace of
her ancestors."
"You needn't laugh at me, Torn; a
daughter of the Caesars wouldn't feel a
bit worse than I do. [ It's just as bad to
lose a little rooney as a great deal, if it
happens to be all one has. "
. "I declare," she added, after a minute
or two of silence, while she stood look-
ing into the door -way, "rve always felt
asif there must be gold in these old cruci-
bles ; where could it all have gone to?
It must have gone somewhere; you
can't put metals out of existence; and
*they couldn't have gone off in gas,—
could they, Tam ?"
"Upon my word, I don't know; never'
, read upon the subject. How much :
• did the old _fellow rielt up here, any-
how?"
"Aunt Persis told me oL100 that she
was always sure he u ed ripen of a hun-
dred thousaiad dollar
"Pooh! Nonsense, hild !! I dont't be-
lieve it."
"-I'm sure I don't care. He melted up '
all he could lay his hinds on, whether
it Was Mucli or little, and I do believe
some of it is in those old things now. I
tipped up one of 'em when I was a little
girl, but Olive saw me and gave me such
a shaking I never dared touch them
- again, particularly as I no gold fell out."
"Perhaps it's all in a lump at the
bottom," said Tom ; ,•'let's smash one
and see." , h
"Just what Olive aid; no, not for b
worlds. I should feel as if my grand- g
-father's ghost would aunt me forever. h
He always seemed to be somehow like o
a great devil -fish., for be just took in all
he could grab. Oh ! I forgot to tell you a
I had my fortune) told yesterday, and I I
have the consolation of knowing that I b
shall be rich sometime, for old Polly
said that I had a fortune in my right e
hand."
t
"That's cheering" 1 o
"Yes, but she wasn't at all complie k
raentary to you, by the way, for she ei,
insisted upon it that' lovers brought
tears."
lo
"Very likely," said TOM ; "they're w
a bad lot, and you may have several yet ii
you know; but I'm go ng in a few min- in
utes." -
of
"Oh no I I can't have you go yet,"
said Marcia, clinging to his arm.
mas
"I must, dear. I've a tremendous ta
walk, you known, unless I get a,lift, and : no
that isn't likely so late at this, for it's— ` sh
yes," he said, holding up his watch in : he
the raoonlight, "it's ten o'clock." : pi
So they walked down to the gate, and i th
there were a few tears,frOna Marcia, and
a good deal of half tender, half patron-
izina protestation fresh Tom, awl pros- . ne
entl7y, with a wave of his hand and a th
flatter of his handkerchief, he was . w
gone.
At first it was very dreary, but Marcia pa
took Olive'saadvice and looked about for in
something to do, though it was vaca- al
tion. Having some taste for drawing,
_
she tried to sketch, and succeeded so yo
well that when she went back to school too
she began to dare to dream of a talent ' th
in the ends of her finger. She thought, --,
it Rich a blissful discovery, for if she, g
too, could have an ambition, she would
be so much more fit for a, wife for Tom. ! pd
But his letters were differeut from , oh,
what she had hoped or and indeed' eye
looked for. At first th y were bright har
enough, but during the I inter he wrote baa
discouragingly- of his protipects ; said he , • g
was almost sorry he had bound her to • tine
him ; that he saw years of toil before , per
him ; that a, man should marry art aer
alone if he was to pursue that life suc- • L g
cessfully.

Marcia dropped her pencils and stop- :- the
ped trying to do anything with colors, the
and found schbol teaching more Weary of
than ever. In the spring—the early, : t,
chilly apring—there came a letter which ' ma
was the last. He gave. Marcia her bur

desperate feeling in her heart that it
was a greet deal better so.
She told her aunt Persis the bare fact
that she had. concluded to break her en-
gagement. Mise-Persis saw part and
guessed the reste'and 'wished that she
could. icoinfort ker, ana longed, to put
her arms, around her and tell her she
knew how hard it was all to bear. But
she did not, because there seems to be
.some force at work within us that keeps
us from our tenderest sympathies with
those we love best: we keep it all back
to sob out over their coffins.
There was no need of telling her
father, for he died soot' after of apoplexy,
—a good, aristocratic way of passing
out of the world where he had been
Turveydrop to the life, and n thing
else; and the only difference itg • ade

-
was the scrimping,, of Marcia's sal ay to
expenses.
,Summer came, and Marcia trie hard
to feel interested in things that ab had
cared for once, and nobody sa any
difference in her except her Aunt
Persis; she seemed the same as ever,
perhaps a little more quiet than b fore.
But Miss Persia saw with sorrow that
there was -a difference, that Marci was
half unconsciously growing har , and
bitter, and cynical, with a tende cy to
disbelieve almost everything, a d •to
deal with people gener5-lly as if they
. were all, without exception, false hol-
low, and selfish.
A year and a half went by, an ther
1-suminer came, and -vacation and rest.
I In all that time, Marcia never heakd
one word of Tom, but the heart -hurt
was just as deep and just as bitter as it
had been at first,—more bitter if any-
thing.
One hot day she sat in the doo -way
and a carriage drove up to the gat full
of gay girls. They were distant ous-
sins, boarding in Westport for the um -
mer, rich, prosperous, and carlessl sel-
fish with regard to their poor rela ions
in the eountry - for if they thou t at
all it was only to reflect that '"there's
no use taking two bites out of a eh

But still they were glad to spend}, oc-
casional days at the old place, a4d to
allude at times "to our family lidme-
steaci," no matter how remotely, was to
be somebody.
Marcia felt a pang of envy a.s the giris
took off hats and dusters, for heir
clothes were new and pretty, and sty ish ,
while hers were always in the "made

scious that she was as countrified as she

the soles of her shoes

"Yes," said Marcia, leaning far out of
the window to pick a rose -off a bush.
'Oh, yes, I've met him -once or twice,"
and she began to pull the rose to pieces,
after all her trouble to get:it.
"Was he nice ?" said Sue.'
"How do you mean ?"
Marcia wondered if she looked pale.
"Why, gentlemanly and all that, you
know."
"Oh, yes, very! Why?" said Marcia.
"Because Julia Revere's engaged to

ecause he hasn't any money and is
oing to live abroad; but she carried

ut. Nelly Hale wrote Sue about it."
"Yes," said Marcia again, rather
bsently, "he was very nice. Sae, do
et me see how your overskirt is made
ehind, it's a marvelous combination."
It was a long day, but it, ca,me to an
nd at last ; and when Marcia had seen
hem drive off and watched them out
f sight, she walked slowly back to the
eeping-room where her aunt Persis
as sitting with her knitting.
She sat down by the window and
oked out. Suddenly she said:
ish I were dead," and threw herself
pon the lounge, buried her head
the pillow, and burst into a passion'
tears.
Her aunt Persist was grieved, but not
tonished, for she had overheard the
lk among the girls; but she said
thing, and Marcia kept on crying till;

ated from lying with her bead in the!

Miss Persis sail:
"Marcia, if you are crying about the

ink I'd waste any more tears, if I
ere you."
"That's all very well," said Marcia,
ssionately, "but how can I help cry -

(No, you don't have the hardest

&tingly, Marcia couldn't help think-

added, getting up and sitting down

NOTICES OF THE PRESS:
" One of the most remarkable improvements in

effected by Dunham & Sons, New Teta, al the
ordin ary sepal e instrument. The itaprovement
le
consists in a eystem of nstruetion by which
the term io inceeaeed to a. eqnslity -with-that of
a grand piano, while the ,quelity is pure and
beautiful. Hitherto,inerea e of power in square
pianos has een gamed at the expense of puritytof
quality; bttt Dunham & Sans have overeome this
difficulty, aid have literallY produced a grand
piano in a quer° case a rdinnry dimension
The tone isI resonant, pow rful and melodious,
the touch tie light but eteon'
, and the professional
player can .,reduce all the ffeel s that can be got
out of a pi rid, while the amateur will feel an
