"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 /7 "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. 1 . fere 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 freedom; he would not laInd. her to him goo when she might do better if he should . she step aside; it would be neither right nor -by t manly to hold her to aaa engagement, with marriage out of the question ; f°r thin peo be could not welcome her to a life of live poverty, "etc. 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 pay the funeral - 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 and poor people are 80 proud, on never help them without giving offe 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 - over" stage, and she felt painfully con- scious that she was as countrified as she couictlee, from the crown of her -heed to the soles of her shoes "Oh !" said Helen, as she adva and retreated in front of one of the e convex glasses "did you ever he or know, Marcia, a Mr. Durfee, somewhere about here, who is in erice now? Tom Durfee, I think said,—didn't she Sue ?" "Yes," said Sae, "he used td • a rry, can ce." ced old r of ona lor- ell be sornething-in one of those mills at 'The "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 im ; her father made a row about it ecause he hasn't any money and is oing to live abroad; but she carried er point, as she alwa e did, d ' 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; e was nearly exhansted, and ; so ated from lying with her bead in the! llow that she could hardly breath; en she sat up. Miss Persis sail: "Marcia, if you are crying about the ws you have heard to -day, I don't 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 - g ?" and she began to sob again; but iss Persis went quietly on : "You can help it if you mak p ur mind to, and I think Ishould. have much pride to grieve over a man at had" —she was going to say jilted "treated inc as.Torn has you." have too much pride; I'm angry th my self, but I caul help caring. have waited for TOM forever; and dear, some girls do seem to have rything, and I have nothing, and the clest time that e'er was into the 'gain!" (No, you don't have the hardest e that ever was, my dear," said Miss sis, knitting tranquilly, and exas- &tingly, Marcia couldn't help think- . "Plenty of other people have suf- d just its much as you have, and y've lived through it, and died when time came in a very resigned state mind." I suppose they have, but that dosent ke it any easier for me to live here led alive while everybody else has a d. time in the world.
