She was a pretty girl, a. very pretty girl, with a fresh,- delicate bloom on her fair face, and a joyous, healthful sparkle. iu her blue eyes eyes that Roland - Hart had never seen,, so bright as" to-night to-night, the last evening he expected to spend with her in the old 'Barton farinhonsc, from which Ethel was to go, on the morrow, out into the gayeties and dissipations of the world whoso alluring paths her young feet were yearning to tread. It hurtdiim to see how delighted she was at the prospect before her, and yet, despite hisdieart hurt, ho tried to feel how purely natural it was that tho girl should long to try he r Yinga in thet" social atmosphere that would surely be so much more congenial to her, with her beauty, her grace, than the air of her quiet, , comfortably dull home the "only home . she had ever known, and yet not her own home, for the Bartons were only distant relatives of the Sinclairs, who had taken the little sobbing child from her dead mother's breast) long years ago, and taken her to be their own. She had been a merry, happy child --a bright, winsome girl; the life and light of" the old farmhouse, the idol vof her foster parents', hearts; yet, with esirly maturity there had come to' her Buch longings for another life than the one she-hl led, such" yearnings that wouldnot be dismissed, that when, all of i sudden, some of her father's peo plecame to see her rich, aristocratic. haiightV, who had therefore totally ig nored . her existence, and who had heard in some miraculous way, of her beauty and attractiveness, and came to her and ind invited her for the sea son', to their mansion in London the girl was eager and prompt to accept the invitation, laughing at the idea that the Bartons urged against it, that the Sinclairs had not been her friends when she most needed them. . , She carried her point, as she always' earned it, in her STC-et, persuasive way, and to-night, when Ilolard stood look ing at her flushed, anticipative face, was the eve of her departure from home, from him. . He thought, to-night, as he looked back on the past, that he could not remember the tjme when he had not loved her. Ever since she had i - . come to the farm, fifteen years ago, when she was a baby of two years, and he a lad of twelve, he had been her firm friend, counsellor, protector, admirer, and now lover. , While she had cared no more for him year after year; until now it seemed to her there could be no man in all the world so good, so true, as Iioland Hart. Yet no word of love, formally de clarative, had ever passed between them. - Roland Hart had been living in deli ciously patient expectation of a time to come when he should tell his sweet, saucy girl how pi-ecious she was to him, and now, all of a sudden, he learns she was going to leave them all leave him. He had come over to the Bartons that night fully determined to tell Ethel his hopes and wishes. He had ! .."'" - i , 1 come. 11111 OI cagcruetss .ami ianu, to find the girl so excited over -hep, de parture on the morrow so little lotb to leave him "behind that his confes-3 sions were frozen or; ins hps.;, y - , Tet.it seemed to hira he had"-never seen her so bewitchihgly lovelywith the pir.k bloom on her cheets, Hto smiles oh her red lips, : the blue siin- sliino of her eyes. Roland Ilar.t knew that when she came back, if she e.ver did come baejk from the allurements of city social life, it would not h as she went -heart-free, ' care-free, frank,' fearless. . ; ' . - How I wish vou t-f mantlesheii, looking down on her pret- tiness. '"For your own sake, becauf-e you will find out, to jrour sorrow and disappointment, the hollowness, and falsity, and cruelty of society. That for your sake, Ethel, darling," and his voice thrilled and- quickened, "and for my aake oh, .thell what shall' I do without you ? How can I spare you ?" - All the saucy mischievousness sud denly died out of her sunny face bo fore the passion in his eyes. Sheknew then how positively he loved her, and with the knowledge came an emotion she could not analyze, as being a com mingling of delighted tride and satis- faction that" he cared for her, and wondering vaguonessof self-questioning a3 to whether she loved him,' real ly, truly, as she thought women should love. He had come nearer to her iii that moment when her eyes dropped swift ly beneath his. He was standing close beside her chair, his hand on her shoulder, watching her expressive face until she lifted it -"frankly ''to. hisj. " I am so glad you will miss me, Ito land ! I was not sure you would. I am so glad.'' ?'Tell me what to do without you, Ethel ! Tell me you love me, to com fort iiio while you are away.; Tell me you will come back to me just as you are to -night?". '-'" Til Sweet s"6rijtfeness"'cf her face deepened. . . . ."' . s .... "I dare not tell you so, -Roland, be cause,'' and the girls face dropped in to alow, thrilling tone, that made his pulses leap "because I might not be able to keep my promise, X might''' He interrupted her, almost fiercely : ''Don't speak of it, then. Only an swer me this : Ethel Sinclair, do vou love mo? Oh, my darling my own darling don't say you don't love me ! No,.. no, don't. tell me". that!" For he saw her answer, gentlo and pitiful, though firm,: mirrored on her face. - "T wih not have vou tell mo that!; I will wait any time for all lime to have you come to me at last and say, .'Take- me I I belong to you because I love you 1' '' Then a little happy smile parted her beautiful red lips, as she felt the quiver-of some new, subtele-responsive thrill all long her veins. She sent him one glance. It needed but' that one to set his heart athrob. "I do not think there is any dourjff' out tuat. i will come back to you. He stopped suddenly, and almqst lifted her from the chair in an eager embrace, kissing hen 'sensitive lips the first loves kisses ever imprinted there,: - " Yes, you will 'come back to nic, my darling, and I will wait impatient, but trusting." Later, he went away, all the gloom gone from his face, all the eager lov er's delight there instead went away to begin his period of lonely waiting, while Ethel entered on her fairy dream of happiness, that was enchantment to her, with her exquisite esthetic tastes, her capacity of enjoying the elagancies and luxuries of life. Amid -the tropical warmth and brightness of the society in which the Sinclairs had plunged herv Ethel bloomeel like some rare hothouse llovv' er. She brought tho precious charms of youth aud freshness, and perfect li2alth and,-and girlish" happiness with her and men raved over her, finding I her such a rare tonic, exhilarant to them sucli a contrast to the listless girls who cuvied lier joyousness, her untiring interest Especially Bertram Barndon watch ed her, his .world-worn heartwarming into something nearer a summer glow at sight, and sound, and knowledge of her than ever he had tehught it possi ble.

Becauso sho did not- love Bertram Brandon as she loved Roland. Roland was lord and master, (aiid her soul recognized him as such,f;and she dared not, even in the. face of such a magnificent temtation a assailed her, be so foully false to her woman's heart. So she told Mr. Brandon she had no answer for him ; and he, so utterly unused to having hesitation shown him by a woman, enjoyed the sensa tion it gave., mm-, pressed I113 suit again and again and won Yes ,ji.thel was vauqmshe-d. Roland Hart was deliberately cast aside that is, to all intents anel purposes ; al though, when Mr. Brandon put a mag nificent ring on her fair finger, Ethel knew her captivity to heartlessly de served remorso begun. Of course, vciybody . congratulated her. " The parti she had made was too elesirable not to command envious admiration;' .and for awhile a week or 'so after the announcement of her engagement Ethel levelled in the fullness of her chalice of triumph, realized to the ve ry widest extent the splendor and glo ry of the position she had. secured by the abandonmeut of all that was true and womanly in her inre. But nature and Wrf&el Sinclair's heart were to have their revenge a re venge that was quick to Gome that came like a wave of desolation over tho girl's heart, as tho weariness of it all came home to her day by ' day the utter weariness of everything, coupled with such heartsick yearnings for what she had deliberately cast a way. In these two or thr.ee.days that, this especial feeling was upon her, the sight of. Retrain Brandon was a horror to her. - All her woman's heart was crying out against him and the golden prize he held in his hands all her soul was in arms for love's and Ro land's Hart's sake. " Yet, elespito this agony of heart Ethel "ne ver once wavered in .her opin on or regretted her decision. Love, and Iioland Hart must go, because the flesh pots of Egypt had become too elear to her soul to be exchanged for aught else ; and love and Roland- did go, and away down in the quiet- country-side he hcarel the news that Ethel Sinclair was engaged to a rich gentle man Ethel, his only one love, the one woman he had trusted the voman iiw Tint rm--nerl 1H'!M.'U'U v-ir i.O inami muw , i i i.

No mean, Ure of reform or of relief can be adop- ted without the concurrence of both the House and Senate, for at the last session of Congress,,, such measures having passed the Democratic House were defeated by the Republican Sen- ate. With a hostile Senate the Demo cratic House have reduced the appro piiitions of the general government in the. last three years the immense ! sum of more than eighfy-eight millions of dollars an amount greater than than ten dollars to every voter, in , the United States 1 Notwithstanding, the opposition of a- Republican Senate and President, the Democrats in the House have reduced the expenditures of the Govern meut, and as far as possible re lieved the burdens of the people, but opposed and hampered as they, have thus been, they have -hot -been able to afford to all the relief desired. How ever with the4 next Congress .Demo cratic in both branches,, we may hope at least to obtain that relief anel re form so long demanded by an oppress ed people. . We. may then hope to see ouncountry once again prosperous as "iu the olden time," anel a revival in all kinds of business.

The next House of Representatives may be called upon to elect a' Presi dent 'of the United States, for by art, xii,. sec. 1, of the Constitution that body has the power to elect in the event that no one "has a majority of the electoral votes."
