The Octo ber sun was sinking in a blaze of glory behind the golden hills; the long stretch of .meadow land in the foreground was brown and sere, secmbg to ITarvey Thorn, as he looked at it from the window, a fit- ting symbol of the dreams in which he had indulged, so lately dead. He thought how, in the long sum mer days just gone by, Nellie Car ver had received his attentions; how she had su iled upon him, and en couraged him; how all her actions had done what her words had scarcely failed to do told him she loved him.

Real skill and merit is suiv to be recognized in time; so it w;is not long. before Dr. Thorn fxrui liimself possessed of a large piartiec. which was rupi:ly increas ing. One day, about three years fr mi the time he began his practice, - he received a call to visit a lady who lived some miles out of town. &he was a widow, who lived with her daughter, a young girl of twenty, on a small farm left by her husband. Mrs. Hardy was a gentle, refined lady, and her daughter partook of all her mother's good qualities, and only pain in my head. 1 1 have it fre quently of late." Her companion glanced sharply at her. "Nellie Carver, you're as pale as a ghost. Come and lie on the sofa.' fl am much better," she replied, simply. .. .- - ' ' ' V The warm winds of May were blowing, bringing a load orswect odors upou their breathj when Dr. Thorn and Alice Hardy were mar ried. And no recollections of the past could mar the happiness of Harvey Thorn, as he stood beside his beautiful bride, and now listened to the solemn words of the man of God. Nellie Carver lived a lonely life. She found ih:it h; had coqr.ctod so ' n;. and refused so miu y thinking it rare sport, that now, when her beauty was departing, her lovers departed with it. A lovclt-ss life was hers, but she could blame no one but herself. As for Alice ami her husband, Little Rose Smith came run rig into her fathers saloon one morning, crying out eagerly, 'Now, papa, I'm ready to go shopping.' . 'Well, daughter, I shall be rendy, too, when I put on my gloves and fur,' was the reply. This being quickly accomplished they passed into the street. Just outside the door they met old Sam Hartley, ragged and shabby, though in Mr. Smith's pocket was a rive dollar bill Sam had paid him the day previous for whisker; and when Rose select ed a pair of the most dainty, beau tiful shoes, old Sam's five dollars just paid for them. Then the father and daughter, warmly dressed and cheerful-hearted, went to a dry goods store; pale, scareddooking, little Will Simmonds was passing, bare-footed, although it was a cold November day, as they entered the store; there a two dollar bill that Will's father had given Smith for rum, was exchanged for a handsome pair of scarlet and black stocking3 for Miss Rose. Next, they selected a fine scarlet merino dress, while at the counter near them, Mrs. Tom Brown was buying some flimsy calico for her little Julia. Mrs. Brown paid for her purchase with money slie had earned washing. Mr. Smith paid for his daughter's dress with money Tom Brown gave him in exchange for a quantity of poison called brandy.

He handed her the paper with an in sinuating smile and received a smile in return. "It's a weary ride from Jackfon to Vkkshrg; there's so little to be seen," he ventured, af.er some hesitation. "Quite," she answered. Are you fond of newspaper litera ture?' "Very." There was a slight pause, when the passenger lesumcd: "A little para graph in the Herald remids me that this is leap year.

Walking, arm in arm, across the brown ireadow, were Dr. Thorn and Alice Hardy. Upon the faces of both there rested a peaceful ex pression ; a look of rcstfulncss and joy. And there was cause; for Dr. Thorn had just asked Alice to be his vifc, and she had answered, "Yes."
