Rose was standing before the great mirror in our dining-room, fastening a spray of for- ot-mcnots in the soft thick coils of her fiesntiful golden hair; and I was seated in my favourite corner of the couch, lesnin against a heap of piled-up cushions, an watching her with indolent admiration. For Rose was the beauty of our family, the handsomeat girl to be met with far and wide in our nei bourhood. I used to call her in “ white of all the world." As Ilaok back at those old days the years roll away, and I see my lovely sister, Rose I’elham, as she looked on that fair summer afternoon. Rose was tall and beautifully formed, with magnificent, long, rippling, golden hair, and eyes as blue as the forget-me-nots, which were her favourite flowers. You did well, Rose, to choose for et-me-nots for your es. ial favourites, an to have your monogram ormed on them on the note-paper you always used. It is years now since I saw you, darling Rose, but I have not forgotten on I y The mists clear away from my memory, and I see myself tooâ€"Cathie Pelhamâ€"not so tall as my sister, with darker hair, having only a gleam of gold, brown eyes, and a smaller, rounder face than hers, not pink and white and beautifully cut like Rose’s statuesque features. She was the loveliest of all our race, and we Pelhams were a family famed for generations for fair wo- man. My mother had been dead for years past, and we were living with my father on his estate in New Zoaland. Our education was supposed to be finished, and Rose had just a ntsseason in the nearest town, where a had made many conquests, and from which she had returned, an aged to be mar- ried, with her fate decided or life. I was somewhat disappoian that Rose had disposed of herself so early, and the thought of her marriage, and of er settling dowu into a sedate matron at the age of twenty-one, was distasteful to me; but then _I did not especially fancy the man whom my sister had chosen. Not that I had any par- ticular fault to find with Herbert Tempestâ€" for that was the name of the lucky man who had won my sister’s heart, and to whom in one short month she was to be marriedâ€"and I could not give a reason for my dislike. It was simply a case of Doctor Fell. “ The reason why I cannot tell, But this I do know very well, 1 do not like you, Doctor Fell.” Having settled the flower in her hair to her own satisfaction, Rose turned to me. " Does it look nice, Cathie 3" she asked. " Do you like in now ivory silk dress? I want to look We 1 to-nigbt, for Herbert is coming to dinner." “ It looks first rate,” I answered, survey- ing her critically. “ But I don’t think that dressmakor has made your train long enough. If Herbert is coming, I suppose I shall have to spend my evening alone as usual,” I added, with a somewhat injured sir. “ No, you won’t," said Rose ; and she turned sudden] and put her arms round my neck and kisse me- “I can’t do without my dear old Cathie, even though he is here; and of course on know, dear, you must live with us after 'm married." With her soft check against mine, and her beautiful white arms entwined around me, I returned her kiss; and, all unconscious of the dread fate approaching with swift, stealthy ste , Rose and I wished each other “ Farewell.‘ The moment came and passed, and the last tender caress which was ever to take place between my sister and myself was over, little as we imagined it at the time. “ Life is but a day at most, S rung from night, in darkness lost, ope not sunshine every hour; Fear not clouds will always lower." ller lovely blue eyes looked laughingly into mine. ‘ "I am going into the garden, Cathie," she said, " to while away t s time till Ilcr- bert comes. Will you come with me or not i" It was a lovely afteran in the beginning of December, the early part of our New Zea- land summer. The sun was declining, and the en. with the shadows growing long, looked delightfully cool and tempting in the afternoon light. _ "I am not dressed yet," I observed, With a glance of vexatiou at in old gray lustre gown. “But I should if e to go out so much 1 I believe I must make myself res. portable, and then I will follow you, Rose “I... On what trillca do the great events of our lives hang! IfI had gone with her then, if I had never left her side that afternoon, this story would never have been written at all, for there would have been none to tell. She did not urge me any further; she turned away and through the open window on to the lawn outside. ller at was in her hand, and I called to her to put it on. ‘l You will be burnt to scindcr, bes," I said, "and then what will Herbert say!" She laughed, and placed her hstou her head at once ; and, lsughin still, I saw her pass across the lawn, w ich was flocked with light and shadow, away into the leafy covert of the trees beyond. And there I lost sight of her. I ran away hastily, intending to drug for dinner as quicklyas possible, sethst I might follow Rose into the My hair. though with a ripple in it like my sister‘s, was not so loogorsothick as hers; it was quickl arranged, theul She looked at me for a moment with an odd ex reasion in her eyes. f'W as you are oing to be married, Miss Cathie, " she sai “the sunlight of this house wrll be going away.” And then she added, “ I hope you will get a nicer gentle- . man than Mr. Herbert Tempest." “Oh. nonsense l" I returned. “You favour me too much.” But in my heart I echoed her wish, for Herbert Tempest was no favourite of mine. I knew well that Mrs. Holland thought more of me than she did of my sister Rose. Had not as a baby been committed to her especial charge by my dying mother? And had she not always been unceasingly faithful to her trust? I turned away from her and ranout of the room, for I remembered that an hour at least must now have passed away since I had promised to join Rose in the garden. The shadows had grown lon er, the sun was nearer to the mountains, behind the purple peaks of which be bid himself from our gaze each evenin . The day was drawing to a close, when set forth across the lawn 'and among the shrubs which dotted it here and there to find my sister Rose. The lawn was green and soft as velvet, and a faint cool breeze farmed my cheeks. Opposite to me was the plantation, in the direction of which Rose had sauntered when I saw her last. I paused beneath a tall fir- tree and looked round me. Not a living creature was in sight, lave a few parrots flitting backward and forwards amongst the branches of tho gum-trees. Two or three beds of scarlet geranium and verbenas made bright dashes of colour among the vivid green of the turf, and I could dis- tinguish the fragrant odour of the large magnolia-tree trained against the side of the house. .As I write it all comes back to me as distinctly as if it were yesterday. Shutting my eyes I can see again that fair picture of light and shadow, and in fancy I smell once more the scents of that dead and one summer day ; I dream of the roses w ich faded that summer, faded with the fairest rose of all, my “ Queen Rose of the rosebud garden of girls." Once I could not: have spoken of that evening; but it is so long ago, and ” Time brings such wondrous easing," that I can write of it quite calmly now. At last, alters few moments' waiting, I saw my sister emerge from the shadow of the trees at the opposite end of thelawu and advance towards me. I do not think she saw me ; she came on slowly, her hat in her band. From where I stood among the fir-trees I could see her most distinctly without being observed my- self. I noted her tell beautiful figure with its queenly grace, her white hand clasping her garden hat. The sunlight caught the golden bracelet on her wrist and changed it into a band of fire. I took heed of the long trailing ivory silk draperies, which became her clear complexion marvellously well; I could almost discern the forget-mc-nots in her golden hair. I thought of Kingsley’s “ Sands 0’ Dee.” "A tress 0‘ golden hair, 0' drowned maiden’s hair \Vns never salmon yet, that shone so fair Among the stakes on Dec." Everything was very quiet; the distant lowing of some cows in the paddock was the only sound that broke the stillness of the summer evening; but over the mountains, resplendent now with the purple and gold of the sunset, hovered a cluster of thick dark cltiuds, possibly the precursors of a coming ga e. Rose advanced very slowly; her figure cmer ed into the light and faded again into the s sdow of the trees as she walked on gently. Suddenly a sharp report broke the profound quiet. “ Some one is shooting at the parrots,” I thought. But almost as quickly as the idea passed across my mind saw my sister put her hand to her side, spring forward a atep or two, and fall upon her face, her silken draperies making a rich confused heap upon the soft emerald turf of the lawn. Had she faintch Or what terrible accident had befallcn her! I was by Rose's side in a few moments. She lay just as she had fallen, with her face hidden. She had not moved since. With some difficulty I raised her head, calling piteously to her to tell me what was the matter as I did 50. She did not reply; her face was very white, and, oh, what dreadful mystery was this? In her breast was a little wound, and a tiny red stain u n the ivory silk of her dress. The horrib e truth dawned upon me and struck me almost to stone. My sister was lying at my feet shot through the heart! " Closed, cvcr closed, those speaking eyes thero sweetness beamed, where candour shone ; And silent that henrt-thrillin voice Which music loved and mi ed her- own.” Most 'rls in my situation would, I think, have m o the lawn echo with their shricks. I did not-indeed I cannot cry out loudly when really frightened; I became for the time almost voiceless with terror. I drop- ped Rose's bandâ€"fast rowing coldâ€"from mine, and, when she di not respond to m agonizcd appeal, I set off at once to fetc some assistance. As I was leaving, I turned and looked at her once more, In that one startled glance I noticed that one of her lon golden curls had fallen down, and lay trar ing its loose heavy rings across her shoulder. It was splendid hair; I have seen none like it since. Her face was very calm and eful, and her blue eyes half closed. I used to think her eyes were the sweetest in the whole world. I often wonder now, when I praised them thusâ€" "llad I fancies From their glances That the grave would quickly screen Sweetest eyes were ever seen." I turned and hurried away. Across the lawn I ran, and round the corner of the house; than, seeing no one. I darted round another corner, and found myself in the mart ‘ard, in front of the stables. Stil nouns was in si ht, and I became half desperate at the pro ound stillness and apparent solitude of the house and its sur- rounding; I knew my father was away from home; we expected him back to dinner that very evening, and Herbert Tern t with him. The room in which Ila. Ilo dwassewing looked out on to the front approach to the house. Suddenly a curious impression of doubt and nureshty poaaeasnrd my startled senses ; itseesnedtomeasif I mnstbemoving‘ieu a dream. It was inaudible, impossi , I thought, that Rose should still be lying there cold and motionless as I had left her. If I returned to the spot, aural I should find tbatshehadriaenandwalh away!

Against; my father's will, in express defiance of his commands, I married Cicely Ellerslie. I. loved her; that is my only excuse for my disobedience. \Ve loved each other sincerely, but neither her people - nor mine regarded this ; we were constrain. ed therefore to take matters into our own handsâ€"at least I was. \Vc left our homes and married. I was three-and-twenty, she a. childish girl. Judith is like and yet un- bicely had none of J udith's rauoir faire. She was eminently a woman to be treated caressingly. We were very happy for a while ; Cicely fretted about her fa.- ther‘s displeasure ; but I persuaded her than time would soften his resentment and his obdurncy. I believed this myself, hoped it: most earnestly, us the weeks went on. I had not much money; my father had vowed to cut me off without the proverbial shil- ling. \Ve had expensive lodgings, and lived more extravagantly than our means war- ranted. Cicely bad never had a wish un- gratified, and I had hitherto given the reins to my tastes. Therefore we thou ht not of overty till it stood at our thresho d l I was orccd to see that our halcyon days could not continue ; I was nearly penniless. I had written pleading letters to my father and mother, letters which had been returned un- opened. I was at my wits’ end. I was ashamed to beg, and I was not used to work. I sold a few costly jewels, and bid my anxi- oty from Cicely. She was in very delicate health, needing much care and attention. I thought, if we could tide over this period, and if a. little son should be bestowed on us, Cicely in person should ask that we might be recalled from banishment. I cheered my- self with the vision of reinstatement, not dreaming of the avalanche about to destroy the beauty of our home for ever. I remem- ber vividly my last day of lightheartodncss. I had sat with Cicely toucbin up some sketches of hers. After dinner fwent for a stroll, and, having saun- tered round the park, strode homewards, like her ; all the morning, carrying some flowers for my darling. servant who admitted me told me that Mrs. Napine had a lady with her. A wild idea seized rueâ€"my mother! I stole noiselesst up-stairs, halted noiselessly at the drawing room door. No, it was not her voice. \tht words did I hear? mad 1 “ ‘ You are not Marlin Napine’s wife. I am, alas l’ “ I burst in. Cicely, with a great cry, flung herself into my arms. “ ‘Martiu, Martin,‘ she screamed, ‘stop that woman; she says she is your wife l‘ ” I looked at the intruder ; then great drops stood out on my forehead. I shielded my darling's face, afraid that she would see my terror. “ I am his wife 1' Oh, how itilcss and cruel was the ringing tone! ‘ artin Na- ine, you dare not deny that you recognized Klaaian Tyler as your wife years ago in Scot~ Ian .' " I answered not. A thousand mem0< rice were crowding upon me. I was dizzy with fear. Cicely rail-ed herself in righteous wrath.

But why need I pain you with my grief 2 They told me that I had a little daughter. \Vhst cared I? My darling had flown to Paradise. The white rigid fi uro they took from me was not Cicely. Went into the streets, wild, desperate. As I walked along, notices on the walls referring to emigration, shipping, ctc., attracted my attention, and I resolved what; I would do. I sold my watch and chain, and that night sailed from the London docks for New York. Do you consider that I was heartless to leave Cicely unburied? I accounted myself ller murder-er, and fled from the land of my crime. “'heu we reach- ed New York I was ill for several weeksâ€" so ill that I rose from my bed of sickness an old man.

Young's Widows. Thirteen of the widows of Brigham Young still live in the Lion House at Salt Lake. Their shares of the estate were $21,000 each, according to the will, but by threatening litigation they obtained about $10,000 more. They receive, however, only the income from their property; but that is sufficient; to give thorn excellent fare in the old home, with servants. horses, and $75 a month in money. Louise, one of the daughters of the Prophet by Emeline Fee, the most intel- lectual and intelligent of the wives, says that all of her full brothers and sisters have renounced polygamy; but a majority of Young's forty~seven children are Mormons. Speaking of the household as it used to be, she says: “We lived very ha pily. My father’s ruling hand had it goo deal to do with it. He taught us to love one another. Every morning wives and children met: m the parlor, where we had prayers and sing- ing. People have often asked me how in the world father knew all his children and wives, but I can tell you if a. single one was missing at prayers ho knew it, and found out where he or she was. Our houses were like u grrut hotel, and we the guests. Our father was a. great manager, and very )rnctical in superintending his household stairs. Our rooms opened on to a long ball, like the one in the hotel hero, but larger, and when we wanted anything from sisters, brothers, or wives, we went into this room or that at will." â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"‘â€".l.â€"’â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"- Grass Stain Removed. I thought grass stain was hopeless: I have asked experienced people several times if anything would take the stain of green grass from children's clothes, but 'wtthout gaining the desired information until within the last month. Lo! boiling water wrll re- move the colour. Pour boiling water through the stain and it sets the green col- ouring matter loose, rinsing it away. I tried it on a large stain upon the front of my little girl's white dress, and easily removed every trace of the grass. rubbing it a. little in the hot water. Grass stain, after washing with soap-suds, makes a. dirt-coloured mark, and remains an ugly blot on children’s white clothing.' __>... You Have no Excuse.
