" Ah, sad-eyed weaver, the years are slow, But each one is nearer the end, I know, And Koi day the last thread shall be wove in, .

Philip Morley turned over the tiny sheet, and read aud re-read the missive at last [a dozen times, before he laid it upon his office table. Then he rose from his chair and began to pace up and down the floor. Sud. [denly he stopped. ' ¢ Never meet as even friends again ?" he said, as if the thought had just come to him.

'We mear to keep him with us the rest of the winter,' Hester said, 'until he forgets all about the south,' 5 ¢T have done that already,' he answered, with a smile upon his sister, or the one he called such, though she was in reality uo relative whatever, he only being ber step-mother's son. ' Guy left the room to windue some of his wrappings, and Hester and Philip were alone, ¢ An awkward pause followed.

Guy, to whom.the sport had for 'a long time been unfamiliar, entered into it with a keen relish, He kept beside Hester until Philp was half angry, though at last he did gain tho favor of going once across the pond with her. | 'Your brother has appointed himself guardian over you, has lic?' he said, as they were gliding over the ice, * Hester's clear laugh echoed upon the air. +Not quite.

"Yes, he ought to be. + Unconsciously his hold on her sighten- & ed, ¢I shall not fall,' she said. * Not while I am beside yo, certainly." It half made her love the man, to bear him speak in the tone of voice he then used, She looked into his face, thanking him with her eyes. Somehow just then she was very glad that their friendship had been broken. _ At night, when Philip in the guiet of his own room thought over the ovents of the day, hie was more hopeful than he had been before receiving his refusal in the morning. The world soon knew why Guy Westmore was spending the winter at the North, it was easy to see what Doctor and Mrs. Lees plans were, Hester's friends meant that she should become Mrs Guy Westmore, and che slipped into the current intended for her, uncon- scious of the harbor toward which the strong tide was drifting hey. Philip saw the course aflairs were taking with a start of horror, He had been so secure of winning her, and he loved her so! Surely the girl was dreaming. He knew she did not love Guy Westmore, at least she must sometimes love, though it might not be her heart would go out to him: Hester was as kind and cordial gs ever, and Philip was sure he would know as soon as anypne if she were to be Guy Westmore's, wile, Their firiendship was on such a footing that she waa confident of this. He was not mistaken. Hester told him that she was betrothed to Guy, and that the wedding was to be soon. «And you love him ?' Philip said, lookirg into her calm unflushed face, «Of course, Papa is very glad, and says --though I did not know it--tlat he had been looking forward to this for a long time. All this was said in the most quite manner possible, Twice Philip's lips opened 'to speak to this girl, as some friend ought to ¢ spoken, but he could not control him- self to speak calmly ; so he only said We shall be friends still I hope.' tainly, Philip. The strange look in Philip's eyes made Hester's heart bound. It seemed for the instant that she had been dreazing all those years, and was just awakening from slumber, But Guy entered directly, and her sensations vanished, . The next evening when Dr. Lee came into tea he said « Have you heard about Philip ? The tones of his voice betokened ill, and made he blood leap into Hester's face like wild, She had never thought harm could happen to Philip. «What ? Mrs Lee asked. fell from Black & Howard's warcrooms upon him this morning as he was passing and injured him so that 1 think he will die. Hester was on her feet in a flash. ¢« Die!

His presence would perhaps serve to save a scene, so they went together, Philipwas weak enough, and in shar, pain, but the smile that, came into his face at sight of Hester, was quite enough to pay her for coming. «1 shall hardly be able to come to your wedding, Hester.' he said, with a poor at- tempt to make his words cheerful, What passed between them at that mo- ment neither could have told, but their bands cided suddenly pnd Philip's eyes fill- ed. Suchh smile as came into his face then! Jt swept like an angel's benediction over Hester's soul, and left more than heavenly joy as it vanished. Guy was standing by the fire, little con- scious of the treasure the fates were stealing from his grasp. Late that night when they had returned and were ready to retire, apd when Guy had already stepped from the room. Hester said : «Call him back, father, Tust see you all together. Dr. Lee had been uncomfortable ever since Hester's return, for a new look - had come into her face, and he half suspected whut was coming. He stepped to the door and spoke to Guy.' ¢ Father, 1 cannot marry Guy.' «What are you sdying, Hester?

About to Marry. ¥ The young lady sid her Ioyer was coming in.on the midnight train and she was going with him to the next station to be macried. Whereupon the old lady said she had had much experience in the' marrying business,' and would give the young lady some advice, and here is what she said :-- 'Well, cisild, never marry a railvoadér, for he is liable to get killed at any time. De- sides he has such a nice chance to flirt." ¢ Never marry a military man, for he's liable to go to war and get shot. Besides, his gorgeous clothes attracts the attention of other women. "W Never marry a hotel-keeper. My first husband was a hotel keeper and fell through an clevator opening and broke his darned skull: It riles me when I think of that man, * ¢ Never marry a traveling man, for he's always away from hum. Nobody knows what these men are up to when they're away from hum. 'Never mrary a steamboater, My second husband was a steamboat captain, and got blowed iato 4,000,000 picces, blast him ! I '° always get terribly mad when think of that man, 'Never marry a dry goods man, Dyes in clothes is so injurious. They never live half their days, ¢ Never maryy a grocer, They have such dirty hands. My third husbaud was a gro- cer, and such dirty hands ay he'd have was 'nuf to sicken a body. He was killed by a molasses barrel fallin' on him. When I think of him I'm completely disgusted. 'Never marry a carpenter. My fourth husband was a carpenter, tell off a scaf- fold and was mashed to je 8 rest in peace. 'Never marry a machinist, My fifth hus-- band was a machinest. 1'll never forget the day he was brought home on a shutter, I didn't recognize him, A belt had come off a pully and hit him plum in the face, and spread his nose all over his countenance. I promised him on his dyin' bed that I'd never marry another machinest.' Just then the train rolled in, and the old lady asked : 'Child, what business is your lover in ?' ¢ Insurance business' ¢Ob, mercy! You don't mean to marry him!
