They stood in my room overnight, and the next morn- ing I sent Ellen to her with them, and the request that she would take care of them forme, I bad taken iton trust that she loved flowers, and I was not disappointed whea Ellen cawe back aud told : me Miss Nora wag 80 overjoyed to get them that she almost cried. 1 happened to meet: her that day as I went up from dinner. +1 have to thank yon again,' sho said earnestly. 'I am grateful. The flowers will be such company for mé." 1 asked her then if she would find time, the next afternoon to go and see some pictures with me. It was when the Eng- lish collection was at the Athenmum, and there was one painting of 'Hinda' which 1 longed to have her ses, It was the face of one who had watched and waited, and some- how I had associated it with hers. She could not refuse, she said ; it would be such a rare pleasure she must make time some how. While wo were talking, Mrs. Lee came through the hall, She nodded to me, but shecast on my companion a look of singular distrust and dislike. I noticed it then and remembered it aftorward. See spoke to me that evening about Nora Hastings, She had observed me talking with her, she said, and would I tell her if I was going to marry her ? I might think ita very strange question, one which she had no right to ask, but, if I chose to answer it, she would, soon convince me that she had good reasons. I bad no cause for hesitation. The thought of marrying Nora Hastings had never occurred to me and I told her so frankly. I related to her the beginning of our acquaintance, and its slight progress, including my invitation for the next day.-- Then I waited for her reply. «I hardly know what to say, Mr. Pres- cott,' she began in her soft insinuating voice shaking gently her head with its long, fair curls, «1 am sure it would be kinder to say no- thing. and it's not at all necessary, since you do not think of making her Mrs, Pres cott.' ¢ But what if I bad been intending to marry her, madame? I spoke a little sternly, perhaps, for I had satisfied her curiosity, and I was determined she should make the explination at which she had hinted, [I think she was unwilling to re- fuse me, still she spoke with hesitation. ¢ It is nothing ; at least if any other gent- leman in my family bad been going to marry her, I should have said it was no- thing and kept silence; but I have looked on you as my personal friend, and I should have told you that I consider her an artful, designing girl, who has tried to entrap several of my best boarders into marrying her, and has failed hithorto. I half wonder that this did not shake my confidence in Nort, but it did not for an instant. Her face, her pure noble face, was her best advocate. It rose before me then, and I replied tinflinchingly : Iam sure, Mrs. Lee that you must be mistaken, As little as I know of Miss Hastings, I would be ready to answer for every act of her life; though she bad a frankness and simplicity of manner which might possbly mislead some. Iam certain that,you do ber injustice.' + Let us hope that I do,' she said, with a smile, * It has ceased to be of interest to me, now that I know she is not likely to affect the happiness of one whom I consider my friend' She diverted the conversation into other channel ; but I believe Ibhad been a lttle vexed by her pertinacity in reminding me that I had assured her I was not going to marry Nora Hastings. I had told her the simple truth when I said that the idea of such a marriage had never occured to me -- But now that she bad put it into wy h al, it did occur fo me again and again, I took such an interest in Nora as I had never taken in anyone before, Perhaps I could not win her; but if I could--I paused and strange, sweet thoughts drifted through my mihd, of what it would be to be loved and watched and waited for by such youth and beauty ; to have her altogether my own How she would love her husband I mused-- she had no other tiein the world! My dreams that night were rosier than any of of the hopes of my bygone youth. We had a couple of pleasant hours the next afternoon, looking together at the pictures. Now that I had begun to think of Nora as one who might some day make my world, I saw new charms in every hour.-- It was a pleasure to show her works of art. she had seen so few and she enjoyed them intensely, and appreciated them with a fine, inborn taste. : It was not the last afternoon we spent together, Oftenest we went to some new bust or picture; but once or twice I per- suaded her to Jet me drive her out into the country, new life seemed to bound in her pulses, and youthful brightness and hope to tinge her pale face, as their odorous blossoms upon head, and the wind kissed her cheek, and lifted the hair from her brow 1 begun to think of her as mine, and to dream fond dreams of how I would cherish her. I went home one evening, when I had known her two months. I had intended to send tor her, as I aid sometimes, and ask her to join me in a little walk. I went into my room, and presently Ellen tapped on the door. I opened it, and she placed a littte note in my hand. She had been crying, and she said, as she gave me the paper : "That'll tell youn about it, I suppose, sir.-- M ss Nora's an angel and nothing else, and I've given the mistress notice, I'm going next week, I won't stay where they've treated her so, poor darlin' |' 1 tore open the note, and bade Ellen wait fora moment while I read it. The hand writing was hurried and irregular ; the words weat to my heart : 'Mrs, Lee tells me she has let my room to a person who will pay her more. Iam obliged to go to-day. She intimates that I ave lowered myself in your estimation by my forwardness, and that I have lost the This may be go, alas! I fear it is. I could bear all else, but to have lost your respect is terrible. You were very kind to me, and it was so Bweet to have a friend. Do not think any worse of me than you can help, If I have been forward and presuming, it was because I knew so little of life. I shall remember g bless them all! but she my poor Tittle love, should pore i to eck another boarding she coul ly I car for ter ( only love me, and let me 'I am going to see her,' I.said to Ell she seemed to wait for my comments, ny 'Bless you, sir!

I recognized in her a lady whom I had sometimes met in society, and for whom I entertained a sincere admiration, I told her, in brief, the history ot my ac- quaintance with Miss Hastings, and that [ desired to make her my wife with as little delay as possible. Did she think the need- ful arrangements could be effected ina week 7 They should be, she said. Nora should be married from her honse, anda week would be time enough in which to provide all that was immediately necessary, So it was settled, 'The next day I gave Mrs, Lee notice that I should vacate my rooms at the end of the month, I never exchanged one word with her on the subject of Nora's sudden ejection from her house, She had an undoubted right to let her rooms as she pleased. I sent her my wedding cards--it was my only revenge. . Three years have paeeed since, and Norn, as bride and wife, has been to me all that [ hoped, and more, rma -------- Brains and Will There are many men and women who are ill from want of brains. They suffer a voluntary decline becanse they cannot possess the brain power, that can offer the blood any inducement to circulate, The blood does not want to be rushing about when there is nothing going on in the man or woman that owns the blood. Why should the heart. and lungs be toiled day by day and all night, the persons who own thage machines have no nse for any new stock of tissues or blood? Pluck is a wonderful agent in throwing off disease, A walk of five miles would cure many an occupant of the lounge. Will-power will surpass? pill. power in nine cases out of ten, To hold a bottle of smelling salts in the hand on account of a headache, is just the thing at times, bunt to fling a pound of fruit cake out in the alley, and then walk a fur- long as a reward for not eating the compound is nearly always a much better thing. --_---------- Sleep. The instructive books concerning sleep are sufficient in number to spread correct convictions on that important subject: Still the majority of the people go to work hap hazard and scem to believe only thas they onght to compress as much sleep as possible into the twenty-four hours. Then we Dbave the twelve hour sleeper, who thinks nothing of devoting half a day to this pleasant pastime. Nor does this voluntary passivily--for it must surely he cal'el vol= untary when the individual purposely uband. ons himself to it--appear, in all cases, to dull the brain or bratalize the emotions. On the coutrary, a man wlio, during his work- ing hours, isa model of alertness, may devote at least more than one third of every day to slumber. Nevertheless, this tendancy to kill time by voluntarily losing consci. onsnees of it on every possible occasion, grows at last to be a weakness, it not a vice. It is so casy for men to do much worse than sleep that to lecture over-slcepers merely because they might make bo tter nse of the time seems almost to strain a point.---- Besides, sleep is surrounded by a set of sat- ellites, in the shape of dreamtul dozers, and these approach so near to the nirvana that we can scarcely blame human beings for in- dulging in thew to the full. Ouly, in that case, they must be content to do without certain advantages conferred by activity, ------ The Far North-West. A correspondent writing to the St, Paul Pioneer Press, from the the far North-West, says == Within the isothermal lines that enclose the wheat zone west and and north. west of Minnesota, which is being or soon to be, opened to cultivation, lies a vast are of fertile lands which might easily be carried out a dozen new States of the size of New York.
