IIi> was a yrung mao who had but lately fallen heir t i large estates, but in Kngiand and upon the continent. One Ilf these wus a fi .e bantiug-seat in Scotland, in which he was spending the nutumu ni»nths; and ahouting uii which t)u3 day he had lost bis way. Never in bis wanderings over land or sea bad his eyea rested on one su bean- tiful, and lile some blossnm, which rc- maios fnlded in its calyx for years, and then burst at once into gnrgenus luve- cnmpeliing beauty, so did his heart open to receive into it Rachel’s image. And why did her heart flatter so with pleasure when he accepted aa invitation to remain until the morrow? F>ir all that unwitting of the true at traction, Farmer McAuley reiponded to the young man’s fxprrssed desire to try hii band at the birds upon the surrouod- ing mxors for a few days by acurdialin- nitation to him to remain us his guest, III blit sturdy prido it never entered his mind ttiat a child of liis would tbinli ol lifting her eyes to that dark stranger, thouoh he (vr.ll liked to (alk with him and listen to bis stories uf other lands and climes. Sit it uainc upon him like a shocii, when, after the strangei’s stay bad lengthened into wnekii, ha sr>ught him one raornina and told him the real at traction. It was his pearl—bil while lily—it was Rachel. The old gentleman was greatly sur prised, and answered: ••My daugcter must marry iu her own station when the time comes. She’s over young yet to make her choice. You do us honor, sir, by your proposal; but the time will come when you will thai:k mo for seeing tlie folly of snch an unseemly union ” “Sir, sbe shall be cherished as slie de serves to bo, if you will only give her to me. Think a"nio, I bi-g you, I love your daughter so trnlv that it can but be that she returns it,” ‘'Have you spokea to Raclicl your self, sir?’’ “It is tbe custom of my race to speak fl-»t «ich tbe father," uiid the youi'g mun raised h'.s head proudly. ‘'I have sought you first.” “Th»t is well. I should ill like to b»»e my girl unhappy, I wish you well, sir, and success iu all elso you under take.” “The wish, without tbe gift I seek, will be but little good. You take the spring out of my life, and thou hope the machinery will work.” There was a bitter ring ti> bis voice p.b be spoke, but Duncan McAuley was un moved. True If) his code of honor, Lnu's de parted wilhont telling Rachul ol his feel ings, although he did not intend to give up After he bad gone Rachel (|rooped Her father noticed the change, and taxed her with it. "I hope it’s not moping you are aftar that dark btrangor, R'lchel. lie’s naught attraciive t.i oty wuy of thii.king. IIo’ll not be buck, either, for he g- t more from me than he looked for. No Ind from for oigii purls with such a face can Oiurry my snow-white laas.” A sudden joy kindled the pale face a d luoliod out of the wide ejes. •-‘Oh, father, did he ask you for me? Then lleaten be praised 1 I read bis looks and acts aright. Oil, father, if that face could tell a false story, then the angels themselves would be un true 1” “Oalro yourself, lUcIiel,” interrupted ber father sternly. “I) d you not hear me? You cannot bo bis bride.” “I care not, »« be loves me,” mm mured Richel. softly. “Hear my vow,” sbe said, suddenly, sinking up in ber knees, ‘ I will ue«er marry L luis Dultou I without your consent: but 1 will love I biro my life long, and dio a maid for i his sake, if I cauuot be bis wife 1" The vow wti taken sod would be kept. The strict old father himself would not have dared to sik her to break it. Several years pttlisd, during wblcb Louis was constantly changing his loca tion, as indeed it was necessary fur him tn do to give persoDal lupsrvislou to bis various estates. J>iring this period of uumitigated prosperity to the wealthy landowner. Fanner McAuley bad gradually but sorely gning dowa In the world. Still be had BSDaged to get bis rent money together. Tbe pay day was near, and the far mer had put the bard-caraed money in a leatborn wallet, “Well, wife,” be said with a sigh, here’s pay for tho last year. It's inaio doubtfil, though, where tbe next wilt come rrom.” 'Keep up, Duncan,” was ber cheer- fol niiswei'. "Ii’s all for the best, though ooo cannot nlwa)8 ken why,” So he started awny to the Uird's country scat on his stout cob, without weapon of defunce, for it was a peace ful country and be bad no fear of mo lestation. Uat his journey wia not half over, when in voino lonely woods through which the ruad ran, an escapcd cou- vict saist'd bis opport:mity and struck him oeuseless from his bors", rifled his pockets, and, mounting, rode rapidly away with hii plunder. About half an hour later Duncan was found by the gamekeeper of au adjoin ing estate, and takeu at uoce to tbe t)ig bouiie ai.d cared for. The master w.is away, but the bnaso- ieepcr was kiud and eflicient, and under her good uilijes ho soon caiuo to co.i- scionsness. O e bluw hud fallen upon his shoii!- drr, a'.d it proved to be dislocatcd. There was no alternative but to re main, perhaps for weeks. So the good woman sent for Rachel to cone to her father, having by judi cious qu’.stioning leari>ed that she was tho light of bis old eyes next tu the good wife, who, of course, could not bo spared from tbo home duties, Rachel came, much to ber father’s delight. The day after tbe young pro prietor arrived alto. The housekeeper told bim at ooce of his strange guests, and he hastened to assure them uf his cordial welcome. As be entered tho rooio Richcl rose from besidu ber father's bedside, and after one surprised glancc beid out her hand, her eyes shiniuji' like twin stars. It was Louis D.ilton. Ilis pale face brightened with a sud den light as bo wont forward. Taking her two tender hands with his' own. he turned to tbe old father. •‘See.” he said, gravely; '“it is the will of God that you should givo me Rachci I’or my very own. Her stops have been led to niy roof-trie by the hand of fate. Sho is to mo tho most precious treasure in the whole w;irUI. Will you not gi*e her to ine?” Matters went ou about tbo same at tho farm. The old man looked up into the dark, earnest face. Its (xprtsslon of sincerity and kind liness could nut be niisui>duri>tood, and in spite of himself he became for tho fust lime conscious of ilis noble manly beauty. Then, too, Rncbel's vow rang through bis ears, and be turned his oyes on her face, which was like an April morning, first smiles and then tears. At last bo reachcd out a Irembiing hand and placed it upon Racbcl's bright bead. “Take her,” he said, hoarsely, “It is God's will, and the lass loves you. I’m not sure if I would give her up, but the poor bairn roijjht soon bo without a sheltering roof-trpe. Tho world's not gone well with me of late, young mao.” “That is because you slight Lov», and the little tyrant is angry,” said Louis, playing fully, as be turned and looked ^uestioningly into Rachel’s blushing face, “Little one, is It (ruef Do you lore me? Look up and tell me.'’ She tried to raise her blue eyes to meet hi-, but their radiance was too pow erful. [ler sweet lips trembled, but before the words cnnie they were drowned iu u shower nf kisses. Thus they were betrothed. Jlc Wan Mistttkcn.

A young wife in Michigan had just got settled 10 her netv homo. All seemed fair nnd proniising, fur she did nut kauw that her husbnud was a drunkard, liut ono night he came homo at a very Inte hour, and very much the worso for liquor. When he staggered into the house tho wife, who was grcully shocked, tnld him ha wus sick, and lo lie down at unco ; and in a moment ur two ho was otiniCortably settled on the sofa in a drunken sleep. Ills face was a reddisb-purple, bis breathing was heavy, and altogether he waa A pitiable looking object. The doctor wus sent for post-haste, and mustard applied to bis feet and bands. ^Vhoa tho doctor canip, be felt b^s pulse, and examined him, and flnding that he was only drunk, be said; “lie will be all right in the morn ing.”- But the wife insisted that ho was very sick, and that severe remedies must be used. ‘•You must «b#vc bis bend and apply bristarn,” she urged, “ur 1 will send for some one who will.” The husband’s head was accordingly shaved closely and blisters applied. The patient lay all night in a drunken sleep, and notwithstanding tbe blisters was eating into the ttesb, it was not till near morning that be began to beat about, disturbed by pain. About day light he waked up tu a most unconifort itble consciousness of blistering agonies “What docs this mean?” he said, putting bis bands to bis bandaged ht-ud, "Lie still—you musn’t stir,” aaid tho wile, “you have been taken very sick.” “j’m not .sick.” "0, yes you are; you have tho brain fever. We have wjrked with you nearly all night.” ^ ‘•I should think you bad,” groaned the. poor victim; “what’s the matter with my feetf' “They arc blistered.” “Well, I’m better now; take ofT tho blisters, do,” he pleaded piteously. He was in a most uncomfurtable sta'e—bis liead covercd with sores, and his feet and hands were still worse. “Dear,” be said, groaaing, “if [ should ever be sick in this way again, don’t bo alarmed and send lor tbe doctor; and above all, don’t blister mo again.” “O, indeed t will—all that saved you were tbo blisters, and if you ever have another such spell, I should bo more frigbteoed than ever, for the tendency I am sure is to apoplexy, and from the next attack, if you ever have another, you would be like to die, unle«s there were tbo severest roeanes used.” He made no farther defence; but snflice it to lajr that he was never ktiuwu to have another attack. ■low n« **Liv#n«4'’ it np.

Imputience dries the blood sooner than age or sorrow. Live, faith, patience—the three es- sentisls to a happy life. Wo arc as liable tu be corrupted by books as by companioot. All phylosnphy lies in two words— “sustain and “abstain.” Let us search ourselves in the flrst phice, nnd afterwards the world. Absence destroys trifling intimacies, but it invigorates strong oees. No one will dare maintain tbit it is beCtet tu du injustice than to bear it. To tho blessed eternity itself there is nu utber handle thau that instant. If you propose to serve Oud at all, hnvu tbo maiiliucss to begio bis service now, i^trcngth nf mind depends upon so briety, Air this keeps reason unclouded by passion.
