A week at the waning place and most of ne the time each day epent in the company of Mr. Mainwell, the gentleman whom Miss Ellsworth's old friend, Ned Whittaker had introduced to her in the morning, on the pizza. She had sailed with him--had strolled or ridden with him along the - shore making the Royal Canadian Hotel worthy of in the moonlight evening, and she had danced with him in the thronged drawing- rooms, Miss Elisworth was not a gitl who dis- tributed her likings among many gentle- men, and she had found her 1deal well nigh realised in Mr. Mainwell. Only the night before, their talk had withdrawn itself from the general topics, which to each had been congenial, and in her admiration of his ir.- telligence and manliness, she had encourag- ed an apprdach to that personal sort of con- versation which relates to love and matri- mony. And now to find Mr. Mainwell this morn- ing, with his coat off and a smith's apron on, engaged in mending a lock. He was doing 1t publicly. The lock was on the door that led to the middle of the front pizza, where the fashionably dressed ladies were sitting or promenading. His back was toward her, as she approach- ed, leaning on the arm of her friend, Anna West. She recognized him, looking intent- ly at him, gave her companion over to a pay of young ladies near, and then stopped and spoke to him. "Do you like that sort of work, Mr. Mainwell,"" she asked. * "1 do, Miss Ellsworth. nataral mechanic." "It appears odd to see you doing this." "It is ny trade," gail he, rising from his work and turning to her. Her cheeks blushed a litle. Your trade" «aid she faintly. " My trade, Miss Ellsworth. The pro- prietor said the lock needed mending, and I'told him I could mend it for him." The party of girls came along just then. Alter wondering at Mr. Mainwell for a while and langhing at him, they proposed.a ride. There were three carriages among them all. These would taka the party. Ned Winttaker had joined them. " What are you at here?" he exclaimed to Mr. Mainwell. + Ah," he added, when | the latter turned and glanced at him. Ba! while here you might as well enjoy your- se pif. " M:. Mainwell excused himself from join- ing the party, and they a!l went away, leav- ing him to complete his work. Miss E Isworth left him words of parting. "Ju is well," he muttered to himself. «It she cannot take me as | am she is not wor- thy of me. The woman who marries me must take me for mysell."" He stood and looked after her till she had disappeared. She did not once turn to look back. He cave his shoulders 2 shrug, compress- ed his lips and uttered a cynical + humph !"? and torned to finish his work. "Let it ba 50," he muttered, when he was through and was putting on his coat.-- I thought perhaps I had found a woman af- ter my own heart. But let it be so... Amidst this whirl of wealth and fashion she too has lost hier soul. Let her go. He avoided her thereafter. He did no, seek her eye fora bow of recognition. -- When she entered a drawing room where he was, he would go out another way, Bm be was more than ever in company of Ned Whittaker. Ned, in passing 10 and fro re- tween Miss Eilsworth and him served as a sort of link betwees them. " You are acymeal 'ellow," said Ned one day. ¢ Why dont you take people as they are? You'll find good enough in them. « Bat they won' take me as sm. That's the trouble." ¢ "Poh! You see that she allows no other snitors to accompany her. Dom't you see that she is alone, or Sith the girls most of the time 7"? * Her heart is full of vanity." « Pshaw | she is trained to lrigutiovs no- tions, that's all." Mainwell's trunk was awaivnghim and I beheve lana | | | i | without any ~ 12-fl the stage outside the pizza at the fime this was going on. Ua the trunk were his initials--G M. Mise Ellsworth 9 | passed that way, eaw the initials--not by chance, for she had been rcrutinizing the tranks that lay together in a pile--and when slie saw the initials she started and tamed pale. She recovered herself, and withdrew with her companion a litle way acd then stood still and watched. Presently Mr. Mainwell came out with Ned apon the pizza. He chanced to turn his eyes to- wards her and their eyes met--met lor the first time since she had left him while he was at work upon the lock. She did not (| tarn away her eyes. She bowed. He lift- ed his hat. * The ice was broken.. He ap- proached her 10 bid her good-bye. | What the conversation was that ensued between the two when they were left alone by means of Ned's ingenuity in spiriting away the rest of the company, is unknown, save the following : -- "Burl am @ locksmith," wid Main- well. " "No matter." " Are you willing to live an the wife of one who with his hands earns his daily bread." "1 am willing to undergo anything to be with you. I have suffered enough. During these last few days [ have learned what it is to despair of being united 10 one I love." " But your mother-- your father," " Unless 1 am willing to leave them for your sake I am not worthy of you." * But then the loss of wealth, of position, of the surroundings of refinement." " Do notsay anything more. I am wil- ling to leave all for your sake. Iam weary of being without you," " Would you be willing be become my wife thie day, chis hour? Your father and mother might otherwise put obstacles in our way. "J am willing--1this hour; yes, this minute." "They do not know of my position in life." "They still think you are wealthy--as 1 did," "Come then, we will go our way with Ned, and become before the world what we are now in spirit-- husband and wife; and then at once, we will take the care for the home Ihave for you--a home which, though lowly, you will make happy." " Whither you go [ will go." They were married 10 a quiet way 1n the litle water place chape!, with the wicked Ned conniving at the mischief. The next train sped them on to the city. "I will show you the shop where I work,' said Mr. Mainwell, when the carriage which they took ut the depot in the city had drawn up before one of a long block of stone house in a splendid part of the oity. ¢ What do you mean?' «he demanded as she acompanied her husband up the broad steps to the door. "I mean," he replied, "that this 1s the home and that this ia the work shop." And he led her in. Among other rooms to which he conducted his wife, was one fitted up as a work shop, where he was ac- customed to indulge his love for mechanical woik, after having, as he assured her, reg- ularly served his time at a trade. Mrs. Mammwell stood and looked at him intently. " This is your hous 7" she asked him, " Yes, madam." " And you are not poor, but rich?" she said. . " You speak the truth, Mrs. Mamwell. " And why did you play the jest upon me 7" "To see whether you loved me for my own sake. " Ah, pretty, indeed! don't love me 7" "Bat I do." "Huamph !" "So there was a little family quarrel on the spot."? "Now invite your father and mother to come and see us," said Mr. Mainwel, af- ter a panse, as the clouds had somewhat cleated away. «1 will," she replied, "I will. Bul first you must go with me to see them, and pa- cify them in view 10 what we have done. "Very well." In a few days they stated out on their errand. Mrs. Mainwell gave the directions to the dniver,and her husband could not help expressing his wonder al the increasing squalor of the neighborhood through which they rode The carriage drew up at length before. a miserable tenement house and stopped. " Where the duce are you taking me 7" asked Mr. Mainwell, looking at his wife. "Conte and see," was her reply, as she proceeded to step down from the car- riage. ¢ Here, wait,' he exclaimed after heei- tancy. "Let me go first and help you out. What is the meaning of all this 7" "Follow me," was her reply. She- led him up stairs, up, up, through throngs of dirt and smells, to the fourth story. Here she opened a door, without knocking, and the two entered; Two ei- detly persons and several boys and girls were present. The woman was dressed neatly, and so were the children ; but they were dressed very poorly, in keeping with the place. The man was clad more carelessly and even more poorly. On his head he kept his hat, which was fully hall a dozen years old. " My husband, Mr, Mainwell, my father and mother and brothers and sisters," said Mere. Mainwell, introdocing all parties. Mainwell stood and stared without speak- ing. Ask their pardon, Gi away with me." Who are they 7"? « Have | not told you? Did I not _intré' duce you 1" « Who were those at the watering place?" ¢ Some wealthy people who seen me ata milliner's were I sewed for a live!ihood -- served my trade, George--and who fancied But suppose you ge, for my appearance, dressed me up and welt me with them," "You jest with me," he anid, with a ghastly smile. *¢ All this a milliner may be, a sewing girl. Look for yourselt among the class.-- Is it not true. All we girls need 1s dress." Mainwell hfied his fist and passed it through the air. He ground his teeth, and turning away; left the room, slamming | the door violent)y as he went. His wife took off her hat, cloak and furs, flang herself down at the table and buried her face in her pocket-hankerchief. The door was opened again, and Main- well put in his head. " Yon have deceived me," he said.-- "But come ; you are my wife, and Ill try to bear 1." She sprang to her feet and confronted him. " Your wife, am 1?" she exclaimed.-- "Your wife, and doomed to live with one who does not love ker, but was in love with her circumstances. No, sir, you may go. I will not live a wife unloved for my- se/f--you must live me or | will gay. | can s ill work for a living." He closed the door and retired down the stairs to the street, clenching his hand and grinding his teeth as he went. "The horrible disgrace of 1t,>' he mutter- ed. 'The derision that will be my lot.-- And then to marry such a girl." Bat at the street door he tarred. He had a struggle with himself there all alone. Suddenly he turned, dashed impetously wp the stair, flung open the door of the room, seized his wife to his heart. "My wile," he whispered in her ear.-- "Such you are and ever shall be before God and belore the world." "Now, I begin fo think you love me," said she, smiling in his face. «Come then," she said, "though of such parents aa these, poor as they are, I should not feel achamed, yet they are not my parents, but have only played a part in which I have in- structed them. Shake hands with them, they are worthy people." And he did shake hands with them, and what is more, he helped them. A merry party was gathered that evening at Mainwell's house, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Mainwell, and their guests, Mr. and Mrs. Ellsworth, who forguve the daughter and her husband without hesitation. "1 say, George," said Ned, whispering in Mainwell's ear, "two can play at that game, can't they 2"? Mainwell took Ned's jeering very "sober- ly. " Yen," said he, after a few moments of thenghtfulness, "and the experience has taught me a lesson. What fools the pride of wealth makes us all. 1 thought she onght to have taken me regardless of my circumstances, for myse!f alone, and with- out hesitation even. And yet when she tested me, I myself was found wanting.-- Snall we ever learn to disregard a person's occupation and only look at the character and the soul 7" Ned shrugged his shoulders dubiously. "1 think 1 have learned the lescon, Ned," Mainwell added. ------ i -- ie WHERE THE SUN DOES NOT SET. The following is a graphic passage from the description of a scene witnessed by a Mr. Campbell and his party, in the north ef Norway, from a cliff 1,000 feet above the aea :-- "Tha ocean stretched away in silent vastness at our feet ; the sound of its waves +carecly our reached airy looko: t; away in the north, the huge old sun swung low along the horizon, like the slow beat of the pend- lam in the tall clock of our grandfather's parlor corner. We all stood silent, looking at our watches. When both hands came to- gether at twelve, midnight, the full round orb hung triumphantly above the wave--a bridge of gold running due north spanned the water between us and him. There he shone in silent majesty which knew no =elting. We involuntarily took off our hats; no word was said. Combine, if you can, the most brilliant suntise and sonset-yoy ever saw, and its beauties will pale before the gorgeous coloring which now lit up ocean, heaven and mountain. In half au hour the sun had swunk up perceplibly on his beat, the colors changed to those of mor- ning, a fresh breeze rippled over the flood, one songster after another piped up in the grove behind us--we bad elid into another day." ll A The Editor of the Memphis Avalanche swoops thus mildly down vpon a corres- pondent who posted him as a radical :-- « While he was writing the first line, the middle word, dotting his i's, crossing, his 's and punching his period, he knew he was concocting a sentence which was saturated with infamy and reeking with falsehood." 8 A darkey in Natchez, Miss., was boasting to a grocer of the cheapness of ten pounds of sugar he had bought at a rival store. Let me weigh the package said the grocer.-- The darkey aesented, and it was two pounds short. The colored gentleman looked per- plexed for a mament and then said -- 'guess he didn't cheat dis chile much, for whilehe was gettin' de sagar, yt le two $e pai es © shoes." Step food--A aword-fi fish. Untamed sweetness-- Wild honey. A stern necessity-- A ship' rudder. Lost--The buttons from a coat of paint. Unbleached domestics-- Negro servants. The harness of life--The traces of tears. The Quaker loves the ocean for its broad brim. The social glass to which ladies are ad- dicted--The mirror. A writ of attachment--A marriage certi- ficate. ' " Well, what is 1t that causes the salt- ness of the ocedt 7°? inquired the feacher of a bright little boy. + Codfish," was the quick reply. Two lovers courted Miss Grubb. One named Garrett was successful. The other left the country, because he detested a Garret, and couldnt live without Grub. A swell being measured for'a pair of boots observed, ¢ Make them cover the calf." «Impossible I' exclaimed the as- tomehed boot maker, surveying the cus tomer from head to foot ; I have not leather enough.' Muss Joy hearing it stated tha' "a thing of beauty isa joy for ever," emphatically declared that she was not a thing of beauty, because she did not want to remain a Joy forever; An exchange nolicing the marriage of Mr. James Hogg te Miss Eila Been, says pork and beens form a nataral union, but thinks one been to a single hogg is a small allowance. A notorions male flirt at last married. -- "Now, my dear," said his wife, ¢ I hope you will quit your frilfing and foolish ways." ¢ Madam,' said he, *my marriage shall be my last folly." ¢ Mother, said Ike Partington, did you know that the ¢ Iron Horse had but ore ear?' "One ear! merciful gracious, child, what do you mean 7 ¢ Why the engin-eer of course.' Why are sheep the most dissipated "ani- mals in creation? Because they gambol in their youth, spend most of their days on the turf: the best of them are blacklegs, and they are sure to be fleeced at last. a EI. A few months ago an engineer of an ex- p ess train on the Pennsylvania Central Railroad going west discovered an engine approaching him at such a rate of speed that he was at once convinced that it was without an engineer, [le instantly whistled his brakes down, at the same time sending his firemar. back to couple his 'lender' from the train, while hé at the same moment uncoupled his hose and engine, and open- ing throttle wide, with hii redflag jomping back on his tender. He just looked back and saw his train nearly stepped, and on dashed the two engines toward each other like very demens. He broke vp gently on his tender, and finally stopped, and in breathless silence watched for the colli ions The engines came together, throwing each other off the track, and emashed all to pieces. He left bis tender, and with his flag ran to meet the express going east.-- It being two minutes behind time, he had just time to * flag it," and it was brought to a stop within a few feet of the wiecked engines, and one of the terrible accidents was avoided. Need we say that the Com- pany presented with a cheque for $1000. a ore Se memcerm Sincurar Sagacrry.~ The Hamilton Spectator is responeible for the following : A couy.le of days'ago, a Newfoundland dogy owned by Mr. J. Jardine, Barton, exhibited a remarkable degree of sagacity approaching reason. While the family were at dinner he bolted through the open door, frantically leaping about and whining most piteously, and would not be pacified until Mr. Jardine followed him out doors and around the building to the summer oook-house, which was found to be on fire. The fire was soon extinguished, the dog looking on the while with the deepest con- cern, and when all the flames were subdued frisked about with every demonstration of "| delight." -------------- = --n PREMATURE BURtaL.--- A terrible story is attested from Agen, and attested both by a doctor and by the Directur desPompesFune- bres, ehows that fears ol premature burial are not unfounded, in consequence of the law commanding interment within twenty- four hours after death. A young lady of Agen died about a year ago and was buried in the cemetery ol Sainte Foi. A few days since ber mother also expired, having be- fore her death expressed a wish 10 repose in « the same coffin with her daughter.: A large coffin was accordingly constructed to con< tain the Iwo corpses, and the body of the young lady was exhumed. It was them discovered that the winding eheet hid been thrown open, and the right hand, which was disengaged from its folds, was deeply marked with bites. On the lid of the coffin were some marks made by the crucifiz which lay en her breast, and the whole cir< ournstances of the case left no doubt that the unfortunate young lady had. been a vies tim to the horrors of premature burial.-- Intense excitement prevails in the neigh- borhood, and official enquiry is to be made. tie qubjuet, anh wie
