So exclaimed my friend, Frank Mc- Kee. a I entered his allien the other evenitip, to glean some needful informa tion from liluckstoiip, (if vthom Frank was a disciple. "Why, Frank, what is the matter?" "Matter enough ; everything I love hales me, everything I deniie esc .1 pes nie; in a word, every undertaking proves futile. Oiie may well become disheartened, not to siy misairhropic, under such circumstances." Why. boy, are vu imbecile? or what lias transpired that I fi id you as blue as indigo and declaiming as s imbre as Milton? Come, speak out ; no keep ing anything back fiom your old chum. besides, 1 opine it will ease jour mind to confide in some one a id I dare say you have known me I nig enough to believe your confidence will not be mis placed." Kov, I tittle thought ti rehearse my sorrow to other eais, but somehow your plain, ntatter-nf fact wavs alas did thwart my original intention, and In th's, as in everything olo during Ilia past, you fihall be my cmfi.inut. My first and chief disapointoieut is, I have been refused by Neasia Mearie, tha sunlight of my life; fidlowing that, my every laudable undertaking his met with dis astrous defeat. At li st I tb ni jht I could bear it, but day by day ny burden grow heavier, and tbe words you luuul upon euterinj were sim.dy an nvcifl.) itig or pent up sorrow that could be kept down 110 longer." . Uefused by Bessie Meirle, "Frank where and wheiiV' '' ' '"" "At her t)n Home,' no' less than a month ago." "Why, I saw you conversing with her at Ada Roger' party only Ust night." "Yes, Roy ; and that is why I m gloomy ' to-day. I still entertained hopes of her reversing her decision, and that was the beacon light that cheered ma on to woik for a better future ; bat, alas 1 how that is gone, and all is dark as midnight. I am without a ray of hupe. bh told ota she never expected to find one whom she could love mure, but she, did expect to find one whom slie could at least -eidu?e aui with whom she could see more of life's enjoy ments than I could furnish her; and were sbe to-consrik he heart she should be compelled to confess that there was no one on whom she could look so favorably ; but when he thought of her own happiness, she was selfish emiiigh to forget love and (00k only to pleasure, which, in a wnrdly view, she would bo bankrupt of wiib mr, fur l' was penni less. Wiih me and wealth sbo could be supremely happy, but with me and without waalth she should be us miser able. To some one possessing wealth she would resign herself, aad trust to Heavee f r the rest. Rjy, this is the inglorious f otition I occupy. Can you wonder the world does not seem a bed of paosies ti me?" "', Frank 1 but I do wonder that, after hearing the iieiceHiry language you have just repeated 11 uni ttid Iij Bessie herself, you can still, be a wor- shipper at her shrine." Jsltuatoa fcave van beea a disciple of literature for so long, and yet forgotton Sbakespcai's immortal words : Lii l'st thou but know the inly touch of lve, ... , ., , Tbeu would'Ntaswoon: go lindle lire .with snow ' Ai seek to quench the fire of love by words.' " "Frank, I know the great bard's language, and I s 'ek not to quench the fire of love by words but by reason, Po you think bappinees could ever be , your portion with a woman who measured her love ber fer you by the titles you held? No, Fraud ; d forbid that you should eer resign your heart to the kemnff of one so Darro-minded. "Well, Roy, jfor'your sake as well as my own, I promise to try and forget her, but it is a 1 end I frtr . I never shall attain. Rut that the trial snay he the more effectual, I shall leave tba country in order that I may not have the torture of seeing her w'ah. antithcr ; and by wrapping myself up in work my mind may be so engrossed that for a time at least I oiay have her nam and memory effaced. I bave already engaged to 'WEtBON'," N; correspond for a number of periodicals, and will) tbe hopes of nue day coin matuling a position that Ressie Mearle shall envy, I trust for p.csre ; but whether I shall succeed, time only will show." "Spoken like a man, Frank ! Qo, and Roy Moistont's prayer will follow you ; and if I am net mistaken, the God of justice will watch over and protect you. And murk my predictions the day will yet come when Miss Mearle will regret rIio cast love aside for plrasorn's sake. Frank, remember, it was )i igcnes who said, when Asked the most prudent couise to pursue t be revenged on the enemy, 'become a good man.' " "Roy, y mi have given me new life ; cone to-morrow moiniiig and I nill give your hand a Iricouly g asp of part ing, and carry with ma across the ocean your manly words' that have imbued mo with 1 cw hopes, unt l the, good night, R iy." "Uood-ntgh, I' rank, and all honor to yoer resolutions." While this conversation between Frank and Riy was going on, another, equally as interesting, was being carried on between Rcssid Mearle and Ada Robots, to which we must now turn our attention. Bessie haf spent the Right after the party at Ad i's home, and Ada, awakening at early dawn, found Rustic 111 tears. "Ressie darling what lias hanpe'ied? ' "Alas, Ada, each day has its night, ind each weal its woe, and mine has cuiie at lust. Ala, last night I dis carded Frank M. Kee, alib.iygli I I ve him devotedly, because he was nut so pecunhirily situated as L should wish my husband t be; and this morning 1 awoke with a horrible nigliiinaie. T dreamed thnt Frank McKee had left the country and that many years had hsped. I was n reigning belle in society, still single, and that dining all this time my heart had never found a c 'iii at iou, when suddenly, at a party, I net I' rink again. I called liim aside; I laid bare my heart, but he haughtily turned upon me mid exeleimed, 'This from you. Mus Mearle ! ' Here I awoke, but, Ada, the spell is not broken, and the expression of his countii anco will haunt mc ever. O t, Ada, I must see at once 1 1 love him, and th nigh he pnsesses not a shilling in the w irld, my mad caprice f ir wealth and position shall be buried and over its bier I shall insqribe a name; that shall dispel regret. That 11 line is Frank McKee." ' Dear IV'ssie, I am surprised at what you have just told 1110. but I honor you for your resolution. Rut come, let us get ready for breakfast, and you shall despatch a note to lauk that will bring the sunlight back to his Ipyrt, a id drive lh clouds from your "own. Wipe away your tears, dear, and all will soon he well." Thus thinking;, the ti girls merrily finished , their morning repast, soon after which the following note was de spatched : "Dari.ino FiuNt: -I am almost wild with uriot, e-useil, hv mv Irush treatment of you last nitfht.

But, alas ! the poor git I littla thought that unhappy Ft auk was on hoard a vessel bound for Liverpool. The note written by R 'ssie was returned ; 00 the uuopened envelope was pencilled words which, to Ressie Mearle, were pmiiicd ith lire. "Mr. McKee sailed for Europe to-day. Address unknown." 1 oor Bessie read the words over and over again, then, with a wild a crv, fell faiuling to the H mr. L ng weary weeks she lay delirious, perpetually calling for Frank. R.it, alas ! iu Fi auk was there to soothe her sorrow, Slowly but surely she at last recovered, but those who saw her turned away iu sorrow, say ing. "Deranged !" Except Miss Rigers, no one knew the cause of her illness, from which she did not recover for two years. At the end of that time, Ada, called one morning and was much gratified to perceive signs nf returning reasoo to Bessie's darkened intellect, bae expressed a desire for something to read, and Ada brought her some sketnnea aiiieh she thought she would be pleased with. Bessie read them with interest, nnd suddenly turni.ig to Ada she ex claimed, "Ala, have ynu noticed the queer pseudotiyna the writer of these beautiful contributions assumed?'' "I think s. ?15londe," is it net?''. "Yes. I wonder if the 'uom de phiine was not suggested to the writer's oiin.l by the possession of a blonde, blurv-yed sweetheart," , "More than likely, Bessie," replied Arle. Thuscnversin", the two girls passed a pleasant day tog'ther. That night, on reaching home, Ada Rogers found a note from R iy Mur- stone, requesting tbe pleasure of ber company to an entertainment to be given on the following evening. She was much surprised at receiving tais nnto, for 6he had not seen liny for two years, as he was a newspaper correspon dent, and had been absent iu that capac ity ; but she at once replied, accepting tha -invitation,.' - Roy called the following evening and escorted Ada to the entertainment, nod oa tbe way home the conversation turned on literary topics; and Ada, 0 SATURDAY, knowing Roy t he familiar with writcis nTlhe day, so l. lei, Iy bethought herself to ask him if he knew who 'Blonde" was. !'Ada, I di ; but if' I disclose to you his true mime, you must keep the dis covery to yourself, for the reading pub lie is puzzled over the satip question." "l!ov, I assure yon, being' anxious tn know his identity, your trust shall not bl! IliisplttC-! " "Well, '111 nolo' is nono other than our old friend, Frank McKir, who left this coiintty sidilenly abut two years back, for reason which you wil pardon me if t withhold." "Frank McKi'tl N' m Hot, not Frank McKee If , if your words be true, sur y heaven has willed tit i 4 meet ingofours tn-ni.jht. Hoy iMurslone, I cannot keep my promise, nn I I demand, i i the ciiime nl jusuce, to ho released from it!' Roy was astonished at her interest in "Blonde's" identity. M ,tu;il explana t ons followed, Ada rehearsing J5 -Ssio's giiefard illness ut Frank' i departure, and R iy Idling of Frank's sorrow nnd res ilve to drown it by liaid woik and absence from f n.iili.,r scenes. Header, my story is indeed. It is needle to say that the next mail coli tained two letters for Frank McKee ; one from Ray Murstone, explaining all the circumstances ol Miss Mearle' ill ness, and auotiier from Bjssie heiself, saying, ' Come ; I lam" quite fjimilbr with 'Bojift 'h -iip.h Fiai.k an I I have long been strangers " Frank McKee and Ress'e Meatle .-.re no mm and wife.

ANXI2U5 TO WED. The afternoon sarvice had ended and the congregation were arranging them selves for the benediction, when the parson desct ndtj from the pulpit to the desk below, at d said, in a calm, clear voice, , . , ", . ,"1 lio-o w ishing to bif united .in ''tha holy bonds of rnitiiinony will now please ciitr.i! fui ward." A deep stillorss instantly fell over the congregation, broken only by the rest ling of the silk, ns fome pretty giil or excited inalion changed her position to catch the fi: st iew of the couple to be maiiied No one. however, arose, or seemed in the least inclined to rise, whereupon the woitiiv clergyman, decai ing the first notice unheard or misun derstood, repeated, "Let lh.se wishing to be united in the holy bonds of matiiiDony now come lorward." Still no one stirred. The silence be came audible, and a painful sense of awkwardness among those present was felt, when a young tnao, wha 1 c.:upi. d a vacant seal in the broad aide djri ig the services, slowly aross aod deliber ately walked to the foot of the attar, lie. was good looking and well-.liessed, but no female accompanied him When he arrived within a respectful distano of the clergyman be paused, and with a reverent bow stepped to one side of tae aisle, but nni'.ber said anything, nor seemed at nil disconcerted ul the idea of being married along. The clergyman looked anxiously around for the b.ide, who, he supposed, was yet ta arrive, and nt length re maiked to the young man, iu an under tone, "The young lady, sir, is dilatory." "Yes, sir." "Had you not better defer the cere mony ?" "1 think not." "Do you suppose sho will bo here sunn?" . "I, sir?" said the young man; "how should 1 know of the lady's move ments?" A few mniacnts were allowed to elapse iu this uupleasaud state of ex pectancy, when the clergyman renewed his interrogations. "Hid the lady promise to attend at the present hour, sir?" "Vt Otti. IriUV ? "Wbyi the lady, to ba sure, that job ate waiting here for?" "I did not hear her say anything about it," was the unsatisfactory re sponse. "Then, sir, may I ask vou why .you are here, for what purpose you thus trifle iu the sanctuary of the Most High?" said the somewhat enraged clerical. "I came, sir, fimply because you. in vited all those wi-hing to be united in the holy bonds of matrimony to step, for ward and I happened to entertain such a wish. I am sorry U have misunder stood you, and I wish yon a very good day." Tho benediction was uttered in a solemnity of tone very little in accor dance with' tbe twiching of the facial nerves, and when, after the church wss closed, the story got among the congre gation, more than one girl regretted that the yung man who really wished to be united in the holy burn's of matrimony had been obliged to depart without a wife.

Talent is sob.:r, grave and re spectable; met is all tint mi l more loo. It i-. not a sixth sense, but it is the liie of all the five. I' is the open eye, the quick ear, tHe judging taste, the keen smell, and the lively t'UJh; it is the interpreter of all liddU s, the surm iii its-r of all diilicu'ties, tho re nover . f all idi staclts. It is useful ut all limes; it is useful in solitude, for it shows a man his way through the world. Talent is power, tact is skill ; talent is weight, tact is in imentuui ; t iliint knows what to do, tact Is it 's how to do it; talent nukes a m 111 res; ectahle, tact will make him resected; ta! fit is wealth, tint is ready money. For all the practical purposes of life tact carries ag iins talent ten to one. ANlN GAGING MANNER. I' ! '. ,pss is to a man what beauty is to a woman.
