Vaughan steadied hand and voice, gulping down the proffered wine, and Wishing Kate Carrington health and happiness in a fashion so like his ordinary mariner, as to deceive all but the closest ob- server. But to me there was an in- flection in his voice, a rigid puller (m brow and lips, that afi'ected my heart. with keenest anguish. I was eager to iollow Kate from the room, but Miss Vaughan laid her hand upon my arm, and forcibly detained At this point the other gentlemen present seemed to perceive that the nominal business was concluded, and and that they had no pretext for re- maining longer in the absence of all encouragement or invitation to do so. “I will see you and Miss Cal-ring- ton later in the day, Colonel“ Vaugh- an, said Mr. Sher-rick, biandly; “ pos- sibly I may have some instructions to receive.

FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 1874 " Yes, speak to me,’ maintaining». tone of strained self-commend, and approaching me calmly,'but with a. calmness that wrung my‘heart more than any outburst of emotion could have done. “ Speak to me, Margaret, whom I have loved so silently and so long, and tell me that I have not loved in vain.

Tell me that I have it in my keeping â€"â€"â€"that it is my first, sweetest duty to consult it.” For a moment I hesitated. Should I shut the gates of-‘Ilo’ye’s Paradise against me, and standmlfta‘hout shiver- ing in the cold of negliiét and miscon- eeption ? Worse, could I wound that noble, heroic heart? “ Yes, yes,” I cried hurriedly to my fpgiling courage 5 “I must, 1 can, Wit " sueh alterna- tives before me ,'” and: 9 I spoke With a quiet, steady firmne ', :that surprised myself. “ 1 love you, Colbggl Vaughan, a girl rescued from 511911 'miseryas mine ought to love and iréyemnce, so good and generous a frifl ‘d as you; but I do not love you...

Or could I have rejoiced in a love purâ€" chased at such a price? “ H0 is gone,” she said; “he has left a message for Kate, requesting an interview to-morrow. I think he will tell her the truthâ€"not all'the< truth,” she added, as I started invol- untarily; “ but enough to vindicate hisown sense of rectitude and save her from mistake.

He came the next day. as appointâ€" ed, and from my Window I saw him enter the house. He chanced to glance upward, and I shrank back confound- ed as our eyes met for the moment.

I fancied that he was thinking of my unwom- anly wooing. He looked a little sur- prised at my emotion, and then said, with thas sweet, infinite kindness of look and manner which used to break my heart with love and yearning in the sad days gone by : “ I said to him last- night, as he sat beside me after his return from a stroll : V“ ‘I have one question, Everard, to ' ' 7 ask you, If I dare. “ ‘Why, Kate, you could not think that my words implied a reproach! What I meant was simply- thisâ€"that it-roquires no daring to speak freely to those who love us.’ “ ‘And,’ {altered 1, still blushing and hesitating, ‘you love me better now thawâ€"than that other woman,’ I wanted to say ‘Margaret,’ but, in spite of his assurance, the word failed me, and I broke down in a stupid sol). “ ‘T love you better than I ever loved any other woman, Kate,’ he said, gravely, and with a quiet earn- estness of manner that thrilled me with unbounded pleasure, “I can scarcely fail to love the woman who gave me the great treasure of her love when I esteemed it lightly, and since then has sacrificed her most cherished tastes, pursuits, and talents even to win the favor and approval of one who she knew loved her not. But your sweetness and kindness have long since conquered me, Kate, I had vowed before heaven to love my wife, but I little thought how soon that duty would become the dearest privi- lege on earth. Believeme, dear, the girl 1 lovedâ€"and I dearly loved her â€"â€"â€"is nothing to me now but a friend whose hand I shall gladly clasp and willingly let go; but from youâ€"~even could I will it otherwisemnothing but death shall part me.’ ” “ You would scarcely recognize my guardian in my husband, Margaret; he is no longer censo ' and contemner of all mylittle womanly foibles and caprices, but shown a large loving inâ€" dulgence for even my very faults, in- clusive of an unworthy jealousy which has beset me, but shall never beset me again. They were married within the sti pulated six months, and 1 think that Kate had partially taught her lesson by that timeâ€"at least, she believed she had. They went abroad on a long, unconventional wedding-tour, to Palestine, Algiers, Egypt, and then they had a long Winter in Rome, and a gay sojourn in Paris. Kate wrote to 1110, when they had made up their minds to come home, after a two years’ absence, as follows : “That you will try to teach him {0 do so,” I said, smiling. She caught my hand and kissed it. “Dear Margaretâ€"sweet Margaret â€"I could notlet'him go; that was precisely what I made him underâ€" stand.” An hour later, Kate, whom that morning I had not seen before, came into my room. I, too, had prepayed myself for my martyrdom. “ Is it well, Kate ?” I asked, eagerly. Her face was pale with excitement, but her , eyes were soft, tender, and suffused with tears. V 1sz throb of anguish smote me as I read, it was but a. momentary weak- ness. If a pasising smile at masculine adaptability curled my lips, I checked it. This is What I had hoped, ex- pected, prayed for: she, under favor- ing circumstances, developed all the grace and fulness of her rich nature â€"â€"he, heroic and faithful unto duty, finding his crown of rejoicing Where he had expected his cross of penance. And in deliberate gratitude I folded my hands over Kate Vaughan’s letter, and gave Heaven thanks. ever; no spasm of emotion crossed his face as he made his accustomed salute. He looked as if he had fought the fight and already won the vip- tory.’ He was pale, perhaps, and a little wearied, to my keen, loving ob- servation, but he was calm, self-con- tained and determined. The New York M'ail says 2~~The flight of riches and the folly of those who lavish money wastefully were never better illustrated than in the case of the late Legrand Lockwood’s splendid marble palace at Norwalk, Connecticut. There are 40 acres of finely-ornamented grounds, in the cenâ€" tre of which is a stately structurre cost- ing $2,000,000. On the premises are three other handsome buildings, port- er’s lodge, conservatories, stables, &c. The house is resplendent with polished marbles, frescoes, inlaid woodwork of the most costly kinds, doors which cost $2,000 each 3 a billiard-room on which $10,000 were expended; and there are 49 rooms thus gorgeously decorated, no two of which are alike. It is estimated that between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000 of cash were sunk in this monument of extravagance, and yet the entire estab- lishment is now in the market for less than $350,000. A Gostly Residence In Birmingham the number of steel pens made weekly is about 98,000 gross, or 14,112,000 separate pens. Thirty years ago, pens were sold wholesale at 5s per gross 3 now pens, as good or bet- ter may be had for three halfâ€"pence per gross. \Vhen it is remembered that each gross requires 144 pieces of steel to go through at least twelve processes in the course of manufacture, the fact that 144 complete pens can be sold for three half-pence, after providing for ma- terial, paying wages to work people, and leaving a profit to maker, is a con- vincing proof of the results attainable by the exercise of mechanical labor. Gold pens are tipped with irridum, making what are commonly called “diamond points.” The irridum for this purpose is found in small grains in platinum, slightly alloyed with the lat- ter metal. In this form it is exceedâ€" ingly hard, and well adapted to the purpose of the gold peumaker. The gold for pens is alloyed with silver to about sixteen carats fineness, rolled out into thin strips, from which the blanks are struck. The under side of the point is notched by a small circular saw to receive the irridiuxn point, which is se- lected by the aid of a microscope. A flux of borax and a blowpipe secures it to its place, .and the point is then ground on a copper wheel with emery. â€"â€"Engineer. ' A somnambulistic sensation has caus- ed a flutter of excitement in Tarl‘ytown. About half-past four in the .ignorning, Mrs. Nevans, wife of a- well-known manufacturer, owning a handsome villa a mile and a half above the town, awakening suddenly found her liege lord absent from her side. As, although sixtyâ€"one years of age, he was known to be given to walking in his sleep, she raised the alarm, and a search being made by the two sons of Mr. N avans, the missing husband was found up to his neck in water in a disused cistern, and clinging to the cross-bar for sup- port._ He was very much exhausted, and could not have held out much longer, but revived on being rescued and cared for. To get in this precarious situation he had walked 340 feet on a ledge of wood but two inches wide, cov- ering the top of a grape arbor that ran from the back of the house to the barn. Although he had safely accomplished this feat, on reaching the end of the structure, at which was a. cistern, he had fallen off, and the c0Vering of the cistern being much decayed, was receiv-‘ ed into the water. The shock of the fall, combined with the coldness of the element in which he was thus suddenly introduced, naturally awoke him. ‘ News reached the Titusville Courier, from Parker City, Penn, relative to the1 arrest of a man named Terence Clune,‘ of Emlington, Penn, and anethernemed John I’hineey, charged with attempting to throw a train'of four cars heavily laden with passengers, OFF the trestle- bridge at Bear Creek, on the Parker and Kansas City Rail-road. The plot was attempted on the night of the 10th of April, but as yer’y few credited the story the rumor was suffered to die out Without an ivestigation. 'It the plot had succeeded the slaughter would have been most horrible, as the entire train, with its large load of human freight, would have been dashed to pieces on the rough and rugged roeksin the deep and dark ravine below, the height of the bridge being about ninety feet. Two hundred spikes had been pulled from the rails, across the trestle, and none of the rails displaced. lVEireculous as it may appear, the train passed over safely, and none except the engineer and conâ€" ductor, and one or two others of the employees, knew the awful danger through which they had passed. The officers of the road kept the matter as quiet as possible, and set detectives \V. “7. Clay and Darius Margee upon the trailbwhose eflbrts were crowned With success, as above stated. h Marriage is too frequently the end, instead of the beginning of love. All the dreams of courtship vanish too often into thin air soon after the wedding ring is put on. The realization of that perfect and unalloyed happiness that each partner anticipated, seldom is found in the holy bonds of matrimony. Cool, distant, undemonstrative, with a decided feeling that the sweet courte- sies and gallantries of wooing time are out of place after mariiage, it often hap- pens that each treats the other with an indifi'erence that ends in mutual repul- sion, aversion and contempt, and leads to divorces and other evil consequences. Is there no preventative for this ? ‘ Is there no balm in wedlock for these ter- rible evils? During courtship enstrange- ment seldom occurs. Each is so thought- ful and careful to please the other that “ all go merry as a marriage bell,” and the young lovers dwell in perpetual sunshine. \Vhy cannot this happy con- dition follow and adhere to the mar- riage relation throughout? Simply beâ€" cause married people do not try to please each other as they did before more marriage, and each treats the other with a coldness and neglect that is fatal to love.
