The sweet voice of the speaker was
sad, and her brown eyes had a tender,
tearful look in them as she raised them
to the face of her companion. lie did
not reply. His clear, bright glance was
fixed on the most distant of the far
hills, und his handsome, boyish face had
a wistfully thoughtful look on it.
"What are you thinking of, Justin?'1
said the young girl, when hi silence had
attracted her attention.
"I am wondering about the future,"
he replied, with a sigh, his grus wander

her face.
'I am tired of doin? tb.it," she an

brown gate by which th'y stood, back

some great trial in store for me by-and-

haunts me when I try to look forward.
It is foolish, perhaps, but I cannot help

"I might call it foolish if I were not a
bit superstitious and mystical myself, to
night," replied the young man, taking
one of her hands and caressing it ab
sently. "Your prospects certainly look
bright now, (Seme, dear.
"I know it, she replied, leaning her
forehead against his shoulder in a famil

"My relatives will give me a good

its well-poied head and spi inging-step,

walked slowly up the winding, gravsy
path, to the d ur. 0:i the threshold

"What a beautiful girl 1"

"She heard that, too. Still her face
did not change. Her d uk eyes merely
glanced up, and then down again. She
rode out of the city with her compan

man sitting on a low stone wall with a
ridingstick in his hand, she uttered a

At a motion of his hand, his horse,
which was grazing at a a little di-tance,
came and stood passively beside him.
With his hand grasping the reins, lie
wailed. The face he looked into was
not like the one he might have seen

was to retort saucily. Looking up at
him, however, the glance of her bright
eyes quailed beneath tho grave expres

deepened, her ripe mouth quivered. In
that moment of exquisite pain and
pleasure she wished that sho were
dead.
"Have 1 distressed you?" he asked,
gently. His forbearance was a very
great relief to hor.
"Yes," she answered simply, looking
frankly into his huiidsomu face.
"Then I will say no more on the
subject," ho replied. "I have some
thing to tell you," ho said, alter a
moment's pause, fur she did not speak.
"A g( nlleman with whom I am well

He hauded her a little white package

handwriting, her face blanched sud lenly,
and she reeled in her saddle ns if she
had been struck by a heavy hand.
"(), this is cruel !" she murmured.
"Miss Thornton dear Virginia what

the horses. Then observing the reman

to tho ground, and lilted her Iroin her
seat.
"What is it?" he repeated, with his
arm around her.
"Nettling I am ill," she answered,
incoherently, and evidently struggling
to regain her self-possession,
"Sil down here," and he placed her
gently upon a inoisy, fallen I g be eath

She remained silent for a few moments,
her head resting against the daik trunk
of the tree, her lips parted slightly, and
her eyes, with their long, dark lashes,
wearily closed. At last she looked
up.
' I w is ill yes'eiday I am not well
to-day," she said, the color coming
lilowly hack to her face. "O herwise 1

with searching eyes lor a moment. Then
he sprang forward and grapsed her

"Hut where is the necessity id' my say

She was ubout to reply immediately,
but she stopped aud wailed a moment.
"Hugh Annesley, she said suddenly,
at last, "ibis is selfu.li iu you."
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"You strive lo betray me into a con

"In that case, I should ndviso you

over her face.
"N'o, but it is likely,' she replied.

' Yes," he said, looking gravely with.

averted eyes, t'lle was a h miely fellow,

She turned aud looked at him in as
tonishment. 1 Lo laughed at her sur

"You wanted my advice, didn't you?"
"Yes," she replied.
"Well, I think ynu can do no better
than marry him."
"Who?" slio asked, startling.
"The original of this portrait."

"You am mocking me; you are

eyes, and her color rising.
"1 am doing nothing of tho kind" he
replied.

"I assure you that yon do,"
He laughed again. Her eyes (lished.
"Convince me of it," she said, curling
her lins.
'1 will do so. Look at tho portrait."
She took it from his hand, and he
wats'ied her while sfic gi.'d. First
came a look of blank astonishment, then
one of doubt, afterward an expression of
bewilderment, and finally one of inquiry,
as she raise.! her eyes to bis face.
"Are you puzz'c I?" be asked, smil

A stranger walked into the nllije this
morning, and, peeri'g "ml. (the d ior ol
our sanctum, tited his eves on the bald
spot on our held and sai l :
"II i;ly I'i-'ty, eh? It's an awful sad
sight to see a young in in b.ild-'iea led. '
' Very sad," we ren'ie:!, pushing our
pencil vigorously, aud without l inking
up from the writing ol a he ivy leader
on ' The Comparative Influence of 11 fle
Teams on Civiliiatiop," on which we
wete engaged at the lim '.
"Vi s," returned the visitor, "though
sad, it's no disgrace. A bald head, sir,
is a sign of brain power; you never see
a bald-headed fool. Why, look at my
head 1"
lie removed his hat, and h:s head
was as bare of hair as a steam boiler.
"A bald-headed man was sent to the
ins.v e asylum from this country las',
month," we said, dropping our cyis
again on the writing bi fore us.
"Well, there's exceptions to every
rule," bo replied.

BE KINO BOYS.
Horace M ion talks to the buys as
follows: Vuu are made to be kind,
boys generous, magnanimous. Il there
is a boy in nchonl who has a club foot,
don't let him know you ever saw it. If
there is a poor boy with ragged clothes,
don't talk ab out tags in his bearing. It
there is a lame hoy. assign, him some
other part of the gam that doei not re
quire running. If there is a hungry
one, c.ive liioi pan ol your (tinner, ii
theie is a dull one, help him to get his
lesson. If theie is a bright one be m t
envious of lion ; for if una boy is proud
uf his talents and another is envious ol
him, tUere are two great wiongs and no
moie talent than before. If a larger or
stronger boy has injured ynu and is sorrv
for il forgive him. A'l the school will
show by their countenances- I ov much
better il is than to have a great fist."
