When I came back from New York she was married." "If she'd been worth her salt she'd have kept true to you," says Nan, petulantly.

"IV liar, they could not agree about furnishing their is the use of wasting your life and I drawing -room. She is as larky and perky eating your heart out for a woman who can be nothing to you?" "And you will forgive me my treachery to yourself?" he asks. 0 "Mydear Keith,' oho says, with a little quivering smile, "I knew you were making a cat's paw of me, but somehow I don't mind that so much, if it would have been any real good to you. In time, I thought, perhaps you might have got fond of me. Lots of men are, you know; but I began to see that it wouldn't do -that you couldn't take to me, and no wonder, when I was so differentto-her. But as for forgiving that's no big thing to do, And I never bear malice; tisn't in me. Yes, you go right straight away out of the country, and I'll make all this look natural enough, don't you fear. You're not the first young man I've knocked off m by many. I'm a born flirt, they say. Well, I'only acting up to my character." Behind the bright eyes is a weight of tears she longs to shed, and will not. The brave little heart is throbbing and aching with pain. But Keith sees nothing, suspects nothing. He is only relieved she takes it so well, that after all she does not seem to care so very much. He rises and holds out his hands. "You are far too good to me, Nan," he says, bro- kenly. "I feel ashamed when I think_ of my conduct. God bless you, child, and make you happy." "Too good to you," echoes Nan, softly. "I don't know. It strikes me, Keith, that you are just the sort of fellow women would be 'good to.' 1 surmise they can't help it. It's just your way with them, you know. So it's really 'Good-bye.' Take my advice and go to the Rockeys and shoot grizzlies. That'll cure you if anything will." Not by any means a romantic Parting, or a touching one ; but it is a very faithful little heart that masks its pain so bravely, and a very loving one too. • A week later, and town is eagerly discus- sing two startling pieces of news. One is bhet Keith Athcistone, the rich yonng American, has sailed for Timbuetoo or Tahiti, or New Zealand, people are not quite sure ALM ; the other that Joel Salomans, the great millionaire, has cometo a smash over some. gigantic speculation,and has blown his brains out at his hotel. in Paris. In the deepest of mourning,, with her handsome brows drawn into an angry frown, with a pile of letters and papers on the table before her, sits Lady Jean. . "It is ruin, simply ruin 1" she mutters, fiercely as she pushes the pile impatiently aside and looks at the long column of figures be- fore her. Ruin to her means some five hundred a year, secured to herself, and a country house bought' and settled on' her by Mr. Salomans a year before. She is at present in Paris. It it a week since her husband's death, and the scandal and esclandre are dying e verywhere, and adorning special articles in all the society journals... Lady jean feels .very hitter against the dead man, and very bitter against every- thing in general. She had had bub few condolences, and those have been spiced with feminine malice. She is quite alone in her hotel in the Rue Scribe, and her lawyer has worried her into a headache this morning with explanations ,and form- alities. While she is in this unamiable mood the door opens, and Sir Francis Vavasour enters. Lady Jean blushes scarlet as she rises to greet him. Ta do tier justice, the emotion as ever, and treats the whole tiring as a good joke. Has got the young Earl of Longleat mad after her now, and I suppose will end in marrying him." "And Keith has -left England," says Lady Jean, musingly; "or is that a blind? Where is your pretty saint?" "Lauraine? She is staying with her rss- thetic friend in Kensington. No, Jean. With all due respect to your'outeness,that won't do. I tell you Lauraine doesn't care two straws for the fellow, 'though. he is madly in love with her. Why, I met him rushing out of the house like a lunatic the day he came to say `Good-bye,' Neversaw a fellow in such a state in my life, and she -she was as cool and cold as possible. Said he was going away to some foreign place or another." " He has not gone I" says Lady Jean, tranquilly. " I won't mind an even bet of a cool thou' on that point, Frank. While England holds Lattraine, it will hold Keith Athelstone. Of that I am quite convinced." " I think you mistake her," says Sir Francis, coldly. "She is human,and she loves," answers Lady Jean. " Of course she is of a much higher type than ordinary women -oast in a nobler mould, and all that. But still--" She pauses meaningly. Sir Francis moves with sudden impatience. " Why talk of her ?" he says. ' You know I hate her." " I know nothing of the sort," retorts Lady Jean. " You were very madly in love with her once, and you. paid a high enough price for your fancy, and you believe in her still." "One can respect a woman, even if one dislikes her," mutters Sir Francis. Lady Jean's eyes flash fire beneath their lowered lids. What she has forfeited she hates to hear praised as another woman's possession. "I am glad you find her such a paragon of virtue," she sneers. "And it must be a novel sensation for you to -respect a woman." "It is -rather," he answers in the same tone. "There are not many who give us the chance." "I think your visit has lasted long enough," says Lady Jean, coldly. "As.: I told you before, 1 have to be doubly care - ltd of les convenances•, 'I am glad you did not give your name. And please do not call again until I send you word." "You have grown mighty particular all of a sudden, exclaimed Sir Francis, angrily " Why the deuce shouldn'bI call if 1 please? Wo are old friends, and surety "Oh, certainly we are old fr ends, says Lady Jean, maliciously. "Leat you see it behoves mato be careful. I have my fututo prospects to consider," "Jean 1 You are not in earnest, you are. only trying me?" " Mon cher, I was never more in earnest: in my life. ,I am not going to bo a martyr to ono mans misguided rashness, or another's selfish passion. Not 1 indeed. Ce n'est pas mon metier. No; I shall do the best for myself, as I have said before ; and yon will be magnanimous, I know; and permit rho sacrifice," "I don't know so much about that," says Sir Frances, an evil light gloaming inhis eyes. " You are too much to me for ester to yield you up to another man. Of dower before -well, that could nob he helped. But new— "Now" says Laxly Jean, with her cold smile; "you have learnt that to respe,it r woman is better than to Ione her. 1 only wish le follow yacr good example. I should like eo be able to -respect -a, man, .Chen by all means don't marry one," retorts Sir Francis, `' Sub, joking apart, Jean, you. are not serious?

I only said it believed me to be careful -- doubly carefal ; and if you coins to see me now, youn n . rust ' ith-.our cotewy wife." ".1 x1'Iy wife.! He stares at her stupidly, "Certainly.

I cannot suffer you to humiliate tee; 1 care too ranch for -myself." "I wish to heaven I could understand you," nutters. Sir Francis: "Well, at all events, for a year, you can't carry out your threat." She has him in each complete subjugation that he does not bluster or insist as with a weak-minded woman he would have done. Lady Jean has always ruled him with a stronghand, as abad woman will oftenru e a man who yet owes her no fidelity, and has for her no respect. " I may never carry it out," she says, with a sudden softening of her voice. "Perhaps, after all, I -love -you too well, though you don't believe it. But, as Isaid betore, of what use -of what use ?" His brow clears, his anger melts. "If I could only believe you !"`be says. Ah 1' she answers, with pretended humility, " if I had loved myself better than you, I, too, might have had your respect,. 13ut I was nob wise enough to bo selfish." "For your love I would forfeit any other consideration !".he cries impetuously. "You know that well enough. Whatever you de- sire, I well do it ; only don't forsake )ne. " Whatever I desire," says Lady Jean, a slow, creel smile flitting over her fano " Well, I will give you a task. Ask Keith Athelstone to Falcone Chase for Christ. mos," (TO BE CO TINUSD.) PEARLS OF TROTH. Haste is of the devil Gunpowder made all men of one height. Deep cool and you command everybody. Peace is rarely denied to the peaceful, Accuracy is the twin brother to honesty. Disoretion in speech is more than elo. quence. Choose such pleasures as recreate muds and cost little. Sad is his lot who, once at least in his life, has not been a poet. Never lose sight of an honorable enemy ;: he will make a good friend. Things don't turn up in the world until somebody turns them up. Accent is the soul of language; it gives to it both feeling and truth. Character gives splendor to youth, and awe to wrinkled skin andgray hair. Tho surest and shortest way to prove a work possible is strenuous/ to set bon p Y a t it. Behind the shell there was an animal and behind the -document there was a man. Agriculture not only gives riches to a nation, but the only riches she can call her own. Youth changes its tastes by the warmth of its blood ; age retains its tastes by hab- it. We are always complaining that our days are few, and aoting as though there would be no end of them. Circumstances form the oharacter, but, like petrifyingwaters,they too oftenharden while they form. Nature has written a letter of credit upon some men's faces, which is honored almost wherever presented. It isnot necessary for all men to be great in action. The greatest and sublimest power is often simple patience. The proper means of increasing the love we bear to our native country is to reside for some time in a foreign one. 13e noble 1 and the nobleness that lies in other men, sleeping, but never dead, will rise in majesty to meet thine own. If yon have great sorrows keep them to yourself, unless you have some bottom friend that will listen to you with a sympathetic ear. The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well; and do- ing well whatever you do -without a thought of fame. To be fall of goodness,full of cheerfulness, full of sympathy, full of helpful hope, causes a man to carry blessings of which he himself is as unconscious as a lamp is of its own light. It is an error to suppose that a man be- longs to himself. No man does. He belongs to his wife, or his children, or his relations, or to society in some form or another. We make unlovely all our days by the little soul we put into our efforts, by the way in which duties push us forward, by lack of that electric something which makes all words, all deeds, quiver and glow. Never affect or assume a particular char- acter, for it will never fit you, but prob- ably give you ridicule; but leave it to your conduct, your virtues, your morals, and your manners to give you one. Oh, thou thatpinest in the imprisonment at the actual, and criest bitterly to the gods for a kingdom wherein to rule and create, know this of a truth: the thing thou seekest is already with thee, here or nowhere, couldst thou only see. Every temptaion that is resisted, every noble aspiration that is repressed, every bit- ter word than is withheld, adds its little item to the impetus of that great movement` which is bearing humanity onward toward e richer life and higher character. All the best things and treasures of this world are not to be produced by each gen- eration for itself ; but we are all iutonded,. not to carve our work in scow, that will melt, but each and all of us to bs continually rolling a great, white, gathering snow. bill higher and higher, larger and larger, along the Alps of human power.

That request was that Sir Fraiets should id issue aninjtaiiction prohibiting all attempts on his life by iuterviewing him to death, as ho had learned was the wont of the Am- erican newspaper men. "But," said he, "I make an exception of you Canadian newspaper men, because I know you are not of that order."

Prof. Blaokie was lecturing bo a new class with whose personnel he was imper- fectly acquainted. A student rose to read a paragraph, his book in his left hand. " Sir :1' thundered Blaokie, " holds your book in your right hand l" -and as the student would have spoken--" No words, sir ! Your right hand I say/" The student held urn his right arm ending piteously at the wrist. " Sir, 1 hae nae right hand," he said. Before Blackie could open his lips there arose a storm of hisses and by it his voice was overborne. Then the Professor left his place and went down to the student he had so unwittingly hurt, and put his arm around the lad's shoulder and drew him close and the lad leaned against his breast.

But the sight of me so enraged'a fierce, shaggy grey dog tied up in his kennel between the lamb and me that he barked himself nearly into fits, showing all his teeth, and 'straining so furiously at his chain as to make me quite nervous lost it should give way. In the meantime I struck mole terror into the heart of the lamb that it fled. across the yard to place itself under the protection of the dog, and stood close by his side, while he barked and danced with fury. As I drew a little near er the lamb backed right into the kennel, and when, after I had made a circuit in order to watch the further movements of this strange pair of friends from behind a tree, I saw their two faces cautiously look- ing out together, check -by -jowl, while the dog's anger was being reduced to subsiding splutters of resentment. He was not a collie, but a very large sort of poodle.-- [London Spectator. Lightning and Snoh.
