THREE TIMES. "Conic, Helen, deur, go with us ti the meadows to come home with brother John do!" And Lilly Leslie's voice grew plead ing tis she watched the sobrr fact- of the girl who stood in the door looking !own across the cooi jrreen lawn that sloprd away from the house toward tho river "I wish school was not done. Is thi what makes you so sober to day?" ques tioned Amy in a whisper, as Lilly stood looking wistfully toward the meadows Before tho young governess could answer Lilly called "Will you come, dear Miss Helon, and meet brother John? There ho is." Helen Arnold shook her head, and the two girls ran down to meet the tall, sturdy young man, who seemed to bring with him the scent of the hay that lay freshly cut in the meadows. The beauty and brightness of the summer seemed doubled as he came up across the lawn, li'teninj; eagerly to the clear, happy voices of the girls. llelea Arnold stood in the front door way, waiting with a trembling yearn ing to unsay the hasty words ot yester day, but he gavo her no opportunity, passing in nt the side door and seeminp not to notice her. All day, as Helen Arnold had toiled in the little schoolroom she had though of John Leslie, and wished (oh, how earnestly!) that she had waited bifort saying that "Xo," which she did not mean. She began to fee) how loiu-1 life could be even among the pleasant -i ghts and f-ounds of the country, ami that her buoyancy and brii.'htnep.s of spirit during the long hippy summer had not been all on account of pleasant and healthy surroundings. She went into (he house and up to her room tu hide her face ns she brooded over un pleasant thoughts. One ot life's golden opportunities had been offered her, and she had cast it aside, and now it wa gone forever. This was the lust diiy ol her engagement as governess, and she would soon be at home, and he wouiil soon forget her. But perhaps he might give her a chance yet to return a differ cut answer. A blush mantled her pale check, and the blue eyes grew strangely dark and bright, as she went to the mirror to arrange the gold brown hair that fe 1 over her neck in graceful curls. Shu Bmiled as alie saw reflected the faultless picture, and with a new hope went 1 wn to join the.Iamily at the evening meal. John sat in his accustomed scat, very quiet as usual, but his eager eye drank in the exquisite loveliness of tho young girl's face and figure as she came round to her place. lYrl.aps he read in her downcast, tender eyes, Ihechimge that had come over her, but he gave her no intimation of it, and after suppr r, when tWo children romped about her and called brother John toj place a wreath of wild flowers on her head, he showod no signs of embarrassment or emotion, but talked to her coolly as it she too had been his sister. Helen was a little angry. Is it n wonder? for she thought ho had been trilling, and that she could not bear. A tire blazed up in her deep blue eyes, and burned brightly on her soft checks. John watched her beau tiful face and varying color, and gloried in his triumph; but, oh.when was glory not bought too dearly t He leaned over her, and touched lightly her soft hand. "lid you not mean yesP I know you love inc. We shall be very liuppy." " Impudent! Do I not know my own mind? Love you?" Anger prompted the words, nnd ns soon as tliey were uttered she wished they were unsiiid; but John Leslie could not know it; and if he had, per haps he would not have forgiven her His face grew very paic, and he tur:n-d away without a word. ; Years pas-srd away, and fortune fa vui'ed John Leslie. He became a sui-..5!-lul merchant, nnd therefore was a mark for m iirimonial speculation; but still he troubled not his bend about marriage. At last the pleasant, insinu ating mammas, who talked to him so sweety and affectionately about the dear girls who were their trrcatest treas urii", got to saving ut.kind things about the "iiis old li.n helor" hctiind his Lack. Of what Um- was it, to be sun , t always Im h:t e yn prcMi'y t sueh a w served old f Mow? Hi-seemed to care uothing at all lor lad its. Lilly thought surely at her wedding with Dr. Mavmrd, brother John would come out ot his retirement and make some of the marriageable ladies of her acquaintance happy thereby, and he did ; but it was a short-lived happiness, for it was a long time before he again left his business. The truth was but tho young Indies did not stem to know it if John Leslie and wanted to marry any one of them, nr all of ihein together, he would have Ifed them. Being well satisfied to let flings tike their course he did not r )ii!)lu himself mueli about what wna .lassing outside of his busim ss, but .iioddeJ Bteadily onward. Now, when he went out to Dr. Maynard's, lie had the little Lilian to caress and talk to, as well as her proud and happy mamma, and lie went oftener than before the baby came. One day while baby sat on her uncle's knee, Mrs. Maynard said: "My old friend Helen Arnold is com ing to stay awhile with us, John, and 1 want you to run out as often as you can, for flie is so very quiet and reserved that I want to stir her up n little. You need not bo afriid of her talking too much. She never does that." John tossed the baby, and the baby's mother was so pletisi d to see the little one's delight, that she forgot her brother did not reply. However, it was several weeks before lie ventured to visit Dr. Maynard's again. Thm it was only after an an urgent entreaty from Lil ian. " We are so lonely," she wrote. " The doctor U away, and though Helen is the best friend in the world, and baby loves her so dearly ; I want you to come out. I miss my dear old brother John. Do come by the lu xt train. I will send to meet you. Lilian." Helen Arnold sat at the piano, sing ing softly, and toiiehing the keys lightly ; nd Lilian plnyid with the baby, and laughed at In r running wajs one niiuub the next looked out of the win dow and fretted at John's delay. " Dear me, 1 don't see why he doesn't come!" and she went to tho window for the fiftieth time and had almost began to imagine something dreadful had happened, when she suddenly whirled round with a cry of delight. "I was looking at a beautiful pie ture," said John, in the doorway; and as she sprang forward he caught her in his arms and gave a return for the caresses she showered upon him. He fore she had time to think of Helen, baby set up a cry of dciighl too, of course. She ,vas such a knowing child ; and her frightened mamma took her up, and talking sweet baby talk to her, car ried her up to the mirs 'rv- After she was quieted and peliod n liltle, sl.e was left with Susan, and Lilian ran down to tho drawing-room to see "dear old John," wondering all the time if he would be polite to Helen. "flood gracious!" This was all she said, as she opened the door aghast. What do you suppose she saw? There was John, brown, handsome John, sitting on tLe sofa, smiling, and ap parently very happy; ami Helen Ar nold, with a crimson face, sat quietly in the shelter of his arms. " Come in, Lilian darling, I want to tell you about it. I have proposed," said John. " Proposed!" said his sister, "Yes," said John. "This is tin third time." Lilian laughed, nnd as she came up to her brother , he drew her down beside the in. Then he told her all about it, and added : "This time she has not said no; and we will have a happy home, too, will we not, dear Helen?" And he turned his beaming face from his sister to look at the lovely one upon his shoulder, grown thiuner and paler than when he saw her last, but now most rweet and womanly, as he drew the encircling arm closer about her. He did not seem to think there was any danger of a " No," nor did she, judg ing by tbe confiding look she gave him, at the same time saying, softly: " I always thought you would ask me again, so I waited." John's face was but tho reflection ol ihe happiness within, as lie answered : "U seems a foolish thing to do, but et I am not sorry I hat I proposed three times." Lilian laughed, and ran upstairs to ee the baby. The ltoirns Pearls. A cut'io.is stoiy is in 1 ..f a J.ib street old gold man. A j.eiillcuian'v individual onee called on him to sc. I ;i pair of pearl eanings in n very heavy old-fashi ined gold ctting. "The pearls are bogus,'' he said. "My win got them once when she had to raise money on the rial otn-s." The dealer, on this, simply stripped the setiiug of! nnd paid a tew dollars for it by weight. As the imitation pearls were a very handsome pair, however, ho tossed them into his odd. and ends box, on the chance of a collet-tor's giving a dol lar or two for them. The latter, as soon as he saw them, a- ked : " Why, where did you get these pearK P" " Out of a selling, ot course. They're real beauties, ain't tiny " "They ure, just, l'il give you three hundred for them " Tl.e dealer, who regarded the oll'i r a aj ke of course, replied lauhhigly Iha: he would not take twice as muto.

Many a man a lit lo past tbe so-called prime of life, looking at his pr-tty youug daughter just blowomit g into girlish beauty, loves hei nil the better for the thought that comes to him, like a thrilling realization of bis youth nguin, that she is the very picture of what her mother nvrs at her ajre. And tin n nti unconscious sigh disturbs Liui u be glances at tho mother, and i-eis the havoc rhnt has been wrought in tba cnee rnioolh fair fiico as the years have been Hlipping by, faking mmy things with them besides rosy bloom and dim ples, bright teeth and lnxniiint locks. He is not so fo dish us to complain of the inevitable, to ask why sho caiitot always be yonng, or to forgot that he himself ht suffered a change, tba' his forehead is very much higher than it used to be, aud that Lis old NTcuding coat NTsmld not by any means meet across his sbonlders now. But, never theless, he feels it a subject of regret, even if ho does not acknowledge it to himself, that wheu heauly dies, the love of beauty does not die as well, or that some other and more ratihfactory and lasting beanty, the beauty of the hoiiI, which transfigures the worn and weary flei-b, does cot alwavs and rarely takes its plaoe, Perh'ips he is bo fortunate, Nvhen gazing in his wife's foeo, ss t see this beauty of the soul that has grown there, till now, illnmiuuting aud irradi ating, it shines like a cnino burning in an nlu ranter vase. Or perhaps, nn iu n very few extraordinary instances it has happened, the original beunty is all that it ever was, even after the lapse of very many years, and his only mollowe.l an! deepened with time. But neither of these rossibilities is a nnivt rsnl or fre quent one. If, towever, ho som neither the origi nal beauty, nor tho npirilual beauty that has growa under tho discipline of life to replace the other, there is 6ome reason for his sighing; aud if any little ehado of sslf-reproach minftlod with the fiih. there would often again be retson. For how many times has he paused, for all his love of her, nnd thought, as their youth was deepening into mi bile life, how best to save that bloom on the cheek, to spare that, smooth forehead, to keep the old sweetness that be loved round the eye and lip? Cares must como in spite of him, cares luul griefs and troubles, sinoe the tale of no one's life is made wifhont them. Bnt has he con stantly remembered to make himself the wall against which they first should break, or to be personally the means of bringing none of them upon her? II s his pride, his ambition, biH lovo of pleasure, exceeded his means, unl re quired her, in the effort for respectabil ity, to do something much like making bricks without straw? Has he allowed his unquiet temper to keep her nerves always at concert pitch, with fri tting and fault finding and exi.e'ious, till she has b' come little but nerves? H is ho demanded of her in all her departments a perfection that he has not reudero.l in any of his? Has he given her auy cause for conteaipt of him as for one curing more fortating and dridktng thau for anything else? Has he forgoHou all the strain ouad dicate framo tint the birth and bringing up of children are, not, t ) speak of homework or the direction of servants, if she has them? Has be taken care to remember that even if snppliol with every bodily comfort, aud pjibaps lnxury, her soul yearns for nnre after the old tender ARMiriwveK and words of admiration? Has he, in fact, just s.ifur as in his poivcr, warded off trouble, bronght home happiness, taken paii:s to put on a smiling face when coming in the door, and added to her stojk no un reasonable solicitudes? Of course almost very wife knows that she is indispensable to ono phase of her husband's contentment, t the managumeut of his fond juat as the ex periecc5 of years has tansht her his fasti s, the care of his clothes, the cheer fulness of his home. But the ro is lo wifo living who does uot long to be made constantly aware that she is indispensa ble to him for herself, and herf elf alone, as well as all the rst, anl there sr - tco many wives dead for no otber reason than that the SRsnrare-is foiled to come, aid so life lost its savor, and they slip ped out of it unheeding and nnho ded. That husband ho wants to see the beanty of yonth ou the "anil wife's" face, or as mil Mi of it as tbe positive awsof nitnrecan spare him, h-ts loa led ber with no care that eould be avoid 1, and if he eonld not g-vo silk gowns nnd plnra cakfs, has soi n to it that ho gave her no anxieties either. Physical bur dens greater than the streugth do much toward uu lermiuing tho good bioks of youth, bnt ther are, other destroying influence1! inoie potent yet. It i- nx ioly and tho wear and tear of tired out nerves that whiten and thin the hair, that engrave the lie.es upon the fore head and about the mouth, and that, far sooner than time would do it, make the weary muscles fiascid, and let down all the pump roundness and lovely curves into loose skin, and call the bln-xl from th cheek to the aching hf art. The wife, too, Nvhoio hnsb.iu 1 doei uot now sod then glance at her teeth, is apt to let the time for going to the dentist slip by; whose husband do-,s uot ever pass a caressing hand over the hair, cease to cure how it is drrFsed. "There is much music, ejc.olle.it voice, in this little or gan," i-uns Hamlet; and all the more, thi n, it UtcJ.i tu Le kept in tune; and tho huhband who Nvunh the old beauty ef Ler girlucod, or tbe beanty of the sweet and contented spirit, must take some heed to retaining Ihe one end cre ating the other; an 1 ho will seethe r- fruit of such coudnci on his part by observing the face of any thoioughly happy and not overtasked wife.
