"!/•To,II still think that- I would profit very much by two or three years' resi- dence there, but Mr. Bartlett tells me to estaelish my reputatioa here first. Baside)a.1 haye lately taken a new view of 'life. Dew my mietakes. I detest now the Bo *union existence that I once t ought essentiai to an artist. It is a po ular f acy that genius ignores comm n sense and defies restraint and order. If a man is _eccentric, people are inclined to think - there is some- thing within to excuse him. I believe 001118-0! our public men cultivate oddity of dre s and appearance to heighten this. impression." `'I am not conscious of having met a great g nitts," said Claire“but I cam not net .gine whet dress or appearance has to do with mental gifts." “Exactly; a. man might be a true poet and have his hair cat at proper in- tervals and a philosopher's reflections should not suffer if he eban ed his gar- ments ccorcling to season. , I met oxie of our rasa artists lately, and there was no mg peculiar in his manner or dress," "He probably puts his effects on can- vas," s id Claire. "I have read some- where hat 'true merit iS ever modest." Mr. Weitner walked up and down the room, epeaking in an undertone. "Yes, a domesticlife should give an artist op- portunities for development. A night of dissipation will destroy the finest conceptioas. I might realize my dreams if my life were tranquil. Irany man needs a soothing iufluence near him:it He pursued his monotonous walk with bent head and folded arms, and Claire had, fallen into a reverie, when he etarided her by a very practical questioa. "Misa Gascoigne, have you any idea of what it would cost a year for a young couple to keep.house ?" "A great defiled should think—eight or ten t ousaad dollars. . He 1 ughed.

"Yes ;I don't yon think two persons could b very happy with that ?" “I su pose so, if they loved one an- other," lake said, wondering why Mr. Weitnert should ask her advice on the subject. He lo ked at_ her as she spoke, but her colerless face and listless voice were disCouraging. Either she did not comprehend or she would make him h an effort: i naderst nd her indifference by her w :, manner.. After a thoughtful silence he said, "Miss- Gascoigne, I suppose what I have IsaiI was very vague and discon- nected. Had you been en rapport, your own he t would have supplied the missing links. I have said all this with tLLEj hope of winning your iip- prevail." . emy she spoke. "Youth." He tried to take her hand.. She arose quickly as if fright- ened. “Say io. more," she said earnestly. iil canno hear it ; I must not." "You iinst. and you shall hear MO !" he said, 4xcited by her coldness. "I love you why should I not speak of it? 1 ask ye to be my wife—to let me take - care of y a." "Vila s all wrong, Mr. Weitner. I arra very, very sorry it happened. Let me beg o you to forget what you have ... said and not to allude to it again:" She was leav ng the room, but he Mopped her with ,a passionate gesture. ' "You leek at me as if I were offering you an insult: I do not mean to offend you ? 1 you lonely, helplese, twir- 1 - you. Is t strange that I should love ound ing to live by labor entirely unsuited to you. You were dangerously ill. No relatives oame to nurse you, no friend to enquiae for you. From the first night I net you, you influenced me. You were; my ideal. I worked steadily because yieu were near me. Life took another atipect when I felt that you might share it with me. I grasped a, purpose then., I was filled with new hopes, neiv aims. To eight I tell you what you etre to me, and you say you must not hear me." "It wa to save you from pain," said Claire, eh:venlig. “We can be friends, nothing ore." "There'a no such things as friend. - ship I" he cried, with a fierce laugh. "Yea fancier some one loves. you or you love another! Is it not so 7" "Yes, it i8 80." "He Nvi4 never lo-ve you as I do Thereago you hadbetter! 1 have made a. fool of Myself—thrown my heart at your feet to be kicked asideas a worth- less toy l" "Yea must acquit- me of any know- ledge of tliis, Mr. Weitner. If I gave you any ep eoaragement I am unaware of it. Heaven kuows I have no heart for auch althing. For the sake of my own self-niapeet I have tried to shun observetioa." "I do a quit you of all blame," he said, tcuoltled by her humility of voice and man er. "Your coldness attract- ed me. I could not sappose that you loved me, but I hoped—I believed that, if not at present, at some future day ' you wou1d1 accept my love." Claire at down, treiriblieg with . -weakuess. This was one result of living iudepende t of her husband. "Beforell leave New York .you must forgive me for having caused you this pain," she leadd at length. "You *not be blamed for not lov- ing me," he answered, turning away. "No, not for that," was her reply. "I had corameeced to copy your beantiful picture, the portrait you were kind enough to lend me."II Claire shed.

"Thansife are to be sincere friends, even if we hould never meet again." prove' l" Their eyes met as . "It is a strange compact, but I ()apt it," he said earnestly. . cnAPTEn xxi. A ,POLITIGIAN'S FAMILY. On a cold, bright November morn Mr. Peter Dillon was busy' with so papers in the library of his house MUM Hill. fle was above mid height, with a, well proportioned, po (alai figure and a massive head - nose and mouth were irregtilar a coarse, the latter shaded by a hea moustache, which partly concealed index of. character. His eyea w small, dark and piercing, deep set der bulge perceptives and bushy e brows. His whole appearance deno power, and yet' the expression of face was dull and passive. An ov amount of precision in his dress s geated lack of ease in it, and althou he sat before an open desk filled wi drawers, he took his -papers from leathern case that never left a deep pocket in his •coat. Everything, fr the satin curtains to the inlaid cabin had an unused, don't -touch -me lo like prernian articles at a fair. Hewas folding the papers when t door was cautiously opened, and a /it old woman came in curiously peer around her. "What's all this about, Peter? • T house is all topsy-turvy! There' crowd of men with ladders in the b parlor, and they've a cart load of flo ers before tilie door. I asked them wh they wanted there, and, indeed, th had the impudence to tell me that was none of my business. I let the know who I was, I can tell you." •"Oh, that's all right, mother. Y know the whole honseewill be trimm for Veronica's wadding." He turned away impatiently. M Dillon uttered a shrill cry of disa proval. "Heaven be with the time when was naarried!" she soliloquized. "I little that flowers troubled us, Yo father, poor men, it's well he,. did live to see this day; he bought me beautiful china jug, with a bunah paper flowers in it, and them's the on flowers I owned foi• Many a year. D you mind them, Peter? They sto on the table in the little house on Mu berry street—" "Yes, yes, mother, I remember. Where is Hannah?" "Faith, she's sitting in the part giving her orders like a queen. T waste that's going on in this house awful. ' You'll rue it yet, Peter, if yo don't see to i'," “You know nothing about it," h said, rising. "I know what earning money i Peter. Many a dollar I put by for yo and hard work it was often enoug when rents was high and coal dear." "That's a long time ago, mother. W don't make money now selling glees of whisky and pints of ale." "You'velound a quicker way," sh said, with a sharp glance at his im passive face. "Wel.!, well, maybe it too much for a poor old body like me t know. I'm nothing now but aneild w man in everybody's way this gran house. I wish I was back in my littl room in Mulberry street, where I conl smoke my pipe and talk to a neighbo withont any worry." She began cry. "That wouldn't look well, mother Come, you couldn't understant how make money if I explained everythin to yon. I do it in more wp.ys than one But see here, you needn't fret aboa the spending of it. I handle as muc In a month as we can make away wit, in a year. So cheer up; take thing easea ,I want to speak to Hannah." He crossed the hall and went into small parlor, where his three danghtei were examining and arranging th bridal presents. • 'His mother followe him, and stood mate before the cases o sparkling gems and solid. silverware He carelessly glanced at them. "Pa, who is Mr. Bartlett ?" asked one of the girls., "See these pearls Aren't they perfectly elegant? It say on the card, With the compliments o Alfred A. Bartlett.' I never heard o him." Mr. Dillon looked pleased; his mother turned at the sound of the name, and furtively watched him and her grandchild. "He is a gentleman that I had some dealings with in real estate. Ferhaps he will be here to -night." "Has he an axe to grind 7" asked a fine-looking man, stepping in from the adjoining parlor. Mr. Dillon laughed and turned to his son-in-law elect. "Who hasn't ? Of course he wants something or he wouldn't send Veroni- ca such a present. Just look at these things and read the cards I could tell you the meaning of every one of them. William, if you have a few • minutes we could talk over that busi- ness that want you to eattend to in Albany." He hurriedly ' looked into the parlor. "Haianati !" he called im- patiently. IA long -drawn sigh and "Yes, Mr. Dillon." "Can't you come here a moment 7 There's so many things to be attended to before night! The quicker William. and I get out of your way the better." Thus saminoned, a tall, stout woman in a yellow morning dress rose gradu- ally from the depths of an easy -chair, saying: “I declare, Mr. Dillon,' the apartments are so dishevelled with the arrangement of these flowers it will take hours to put them in order !" She folded her fat, diamond -ringed hands pathetically and followed her husband and Mr. William Delano to the library. "Do you like my presents, grandma?" asked Veronica, opening a case con- taining a set of diamonds. "These ate from Senator Regan, and there is a cleedeof a house and lot from pa's old friend, Mr. Duncan." "I remember him, child, when he couldn't pay the rent oi an attic in my house, when I wouldn'tetrust him with a pint of ale." . "Well, now he owns property all over the city, pa says. 'And so he may, child. Moneyseenas , easily made nowadays." "Ronnie, what did. pa mean by say- ao- on her sisters. Veronica flushed.' Mrs. Dillon looked keenly at the th and chuckled saroaatically. "I don't think so," cried Yeroni ing "Noone asked for them. People se me themma) . to pithemselves." ' on "Still, pa said he could tell why! e die was given. I hope no one will ever se ae. me any. It is not right 'to ace gis thetn. Grandma, isn't it a sin to . ta nd a bribe'?" vy Mrs. Dillon seemed to shrink fro and s ee in its honest eyes. "I must go • ere she said nervously. "I'm tired with un- this splendor and confusion. Who ' is Ye- watch your fine presents, and the he ted full of strange men." , his "There are two policetnen dow er- stairs," said Veronica. , I ug- "Two policemen! What's the Wo gh coming to at all? And what'll you th with such grand things after you a married?" ide "Wear them !" Veronica's e orn brightened. et, "William will have to buy o ok, Herring's hirgeet," said Kate, tau "The responsibility of such things he away the pleasure." tle "I don't think so," said Verdnie mg "I like to look at them and feel th are all mince, but I hate to lea he them." P a "Call Toni to pnt the pollee eet charge," said Kate, disappearing in t w- parlor. Nellie offered to take h at grandmother's hand, saying: - ey , "Come, grandma, let us go and s it the flowers!" , I m ..'Mrs. Dillon looked suspieionsla -her and shook her head. "Thank yo on miss; I can walk without help." ed Nellie followed Kate, who was wet° ing the progress of a large mareia re. bell. p- "1 have offended •grandma, Kat I'M sure 1 don't know. how.

Pa trave he from here to Albany, and from there is Washington, and he is overrun ;wit itvisitors and letters. We scarcely s , hi.

But the only difference i e this: they spend more and go wit d young fellows as rich as themselves f The effect is just -the same." . "0 Kate ! idon't say. that.

She was sitting on the carpet, tracing the clusters of velvet flowers with her small fingers. "I know," cried her dark -eyed sister Kate. "You see, pa helps them along and gives them political appointments for their sons and cousins and poor re- lations. I suppose they get the value back." ,‘Then these are something like but ny- er- en't ,gry with me.

We will not ask you 25 per cent. more than what the goods can be sold for, and on some articles make a reduction to de- ceive purchasers, when you are really paying more than the value of the goods. I direct special attention to my immense stock of Mantles, W&h are ler- feet in lit, finish and style, and good -reliable cloth. Do not purchase your Mantles until you have seen My stock, where you will have over FIVE HUNDRED to select from, when you will have no trouble in securing a fit at the price you intend going to.
