From .that time, as child, girl, and woman. hIio had always looked up to him, as her dearest friend her brother. But not - as a lover. Nol her lover the ideal, coming man, who was to glorify her libj was not at all like Paul Lindsey.

Jh was to bo brilliant, dashing, rather gloomy ; with dark secrets in his life, bur dens of gloom, and grief, and, per haps, remorse, which her love was to lighten. And he was to have errors, picturesque sins, which her silent example was to purify. He was to be something between By ron s "Lara" and an Italian bri gand. Ethel had read a great many novels. -He was not to bo. rich, like Paul, nor, like him, beloved by all class es, from the rich to the poor. No, she much preferred a very poor man, so she could make a sacrifice of herself, and bo bewailed over by mercenary friends. And she rath er wished to have him persecuted and condemned by the world, so she could take him to Iter heart and crown him, saying, "though the herd have lied from thee, thy homo is still here." l es, luiiel had read a great many novels. As for Paul, she had never thought of his being awthing to her, only the truest, and kindest of friends; one to .he relied upon, when all others p'-oved false.

Her tear; fell fast upon his wasted hands, as she knelt, with her cheek (dose to his; knelt there, while his voice died away in faint whispers, and faint er, till it wan silent. Till Ihe close clasp about her hands re laxed, and site thought he was dead. But he was not dead; he was only sleeping. A dav passed, while this strange slumber lasted; the doctors came, and shook their heads, and said he wo.ild never awake again; but they were all .mistaken. There came a time, when he roused out of his stupor, when ho said to her: "Ethel sweet one, I am going to live and what then?" Said it, with his large, troubled eyes full of w ist fulness, and care, and sorrow. And she listened, with her faee "hidden in her hands, in an agony of bewilderment and self-pity. Awhile ago, the thought of his dying lmd seemed to leave the great world empty and deso late. But, a wife, yet rot a wife! To be bound by the law, while her young heart was aching for free dom! What should she do! What could she do? But one thing was plain to her. She must say nothing to excite him, while his life hung thus upon a thread. And when he said again to her, in his faint voice, "AVell, what then, Ethel? What then?" She nerved her voice to say, "You mustn't talk any more, .now, Paul ; when you are stronger, then we will talk of anything you wish." But it was long weeks before they spoke of this again, for he had a second relapse, that brought him down, still nearer, to the grave. And Ethel watched over him, faithfully, day after day. If he had been, indeed, the husband .of her young heart's choice, she could not have nursed him more faith fully. The housekeeper, Mrs. Lindsey, shared her labors, as much as Ethvl would permit; but she had a habit of falling asleep in her chair, p.nd the bare possi bility of Paul's; being neglected, in any way the thought of his wanting anvthing, needing anv thing gave Ethel such agony, as might have taught her what her ings reallv w ere for him. if she THE ROBESONIAN JOB OFFICE IS FILLY .EQUIPPED WITH Fast Presses and Excellent Machinery.

If the good doctor .ad only known, it was a little heart-food, a little sunshine of tla iil, that Paul needed, in stead of drugs. And at this very time, Mrs. Lin sey and lie had some respect for her judgment began to hint to him how wretched Ethel was-; and though he could scarcely tell how she gave he impression, for she certainly did not put-it in plain words, yet give the impression she certainly did, that Ethel desired a separation, and that it was only justice to her that she should have it. And, in the same u-av. she idea that Ethel fee had been wise enough to have un derstood them. But she had not understood her true feelings for him. She thought she loved him only as a dear friend, a brother. This housekeeper, Mrs. Lindsey, was the widow of a distant rela tive of Paul Lindsey, and when Ethel's father died, he invited this widow of his cousin, who was in reduced circumstances, to come and live at his handsome country seat, and make a home, where he coum invito nis waru, uurmg her vacations. Mrs. Lindsey had been a widow, with one son, at the time of her second marriage, and Gerald Black had now come, for the first time since his mother's marriage, to visit her. He had had some ap pointment that had kept him abroad. But he seemed very glad to be in his native land again ; very glad to be at rest . He was one of those men who love rest ; who love to fold their hands peacefully over their bosoms, and let the waves of Time bear them on gently. Gerald Black thought Ethel was the loveliest girl he had ever met. Perhaps her sweet, fair, innocent face was a welcome contrast to his own dark, haughty, and rather imperious countenance. He also, thought, what a hue thing it would be, if he could have the control of her wealth; for he thought Bhe was very wealthy W hy, it would make it entirely unnecesary for him to work an other day; and Gerald Black had a strong, constitutional aversion to labor. He would never be a bold, active villain. His badness would always show in a cowardly, deceitful manner. He was not at all energetic, even in wickedness lie was too lazy to ever make a thorough scamp. But he tried to ingratiate himself in Ethel'B fa vor in every way he could, con sistently with his natural constl ' i 1 T W f i , ii union, .lie nattereti ner, m a certain heavy, persistent way, that, at first, was rather disagree able to her; then what proved more successful, he appealed to her pity. He had been unfortu nate all his life; fate had been against him ; an evil star had shone upon his birth. And, finally, in the long days, when Paul was out jot danger, and coming slowly i back to life again, Ethel got ac customed to his maunderiiigs, and, at last., began to feel pity for the man who had been so baflled and ill-used. The next thing he tried, was to render her still more wretched, by dwelling upon (he sacrifice she had made, in wedding Paul. She was wretched enough, as it was, concerning it. What should she do? What could ho do? This was the burden f her thoughts, day and niglit, night and day. She loved hci-1 freedom she had not thought Sf being married to anyone .least of all to Paul. And: .feel ing, as she did, such a strong a fleet ion and respect for him, made it, she said to herself, worse for her. If she disliked him, she could leave him -without any compunction. It was four weeks before Paul spoke to Ethel, again, about their future; for she avoided being alone with him, all she possibly could. But one soft, bright, summer clay, just at sunset, she entered gave him the his room, bringing the fresh, lovd her son. sweet breath of roses and lilacs Poor Paul, he did not know with her; for she came in through what to do what he ought to do. the low, French window his room He said to himself, that, if he re was on the ground floor, and spected and trusted Gerald Black, opened into an old-fashioned flow- he would remove all barriers beer-garden she had her hands full tween him and Ethel ; he would of roses and lilies, as she entered, give her to him, though his own He looked up to her, his face heart broke.

He was" a stinctively disliked and distrusted warm friend of Paul's, a friend of Gerald; but he felt that it would be impossible to him to speak of his suspicions, of his want of faith in him. So the weary days rolled by, and Paul did not get strong. And Ihe good doctor changed his medicine daily, patiently prepar ing new pills and powder, and sighed in spirit to think there was he" father's, as well as her own. lie thought she-was wrecking her happiness. So the kind-hearted, old gentleman,. in order to influ ence her for her own good, re vealed, to her a profound secret, lie told her, that, instead of being an heiress, she had absolutely noth ing. And said he : "One reason why Paul was so anxious to marry you, was, so he could he absolutely sure that you ould inherit his larire fortune. - e had willed it to you; but he lought it would be still surer, if ou were his wife. A nobler soul never lived than Paul Lind-ev." Noble, indeed ! She went down t once into the valley of humili- ition. So he married her out of iy! And, instead of being the leiress, independent, and secure t -j - - m all possible want, she was Absolutely dependent, and had been for years, upon the bounty of the man, whom she had so hast- y wed. , But her thoughts were all confused, and running together she could hardly hear the buy er's hist words, her head reeled, and she felt so dizzy. In fact, the first symptons of that terrible fever were upon her, that Paul lad almost died with. But she lought, dreamily, how sorry Mrs. Lindsey would be for her. And she was sure, too, of Gerald's ympathy; the heroes of all the romances he had read to her, were faithful unto death, and the more le heroines had lost, the deeper grew their love. So, that night, when Mrs. Lind sey came into her room, with a cup of tea, and a slice of toast, for she had sent down word, that she was too ill to go down into the dining-room, she told her all ; how, instead of being.au .heiress, she was a poor girl, was absolut-3- y penniless, and had been for years. Mrs. Lindsey was perfectly overwhelmed with astonishment and dismay. She said but little; but her deeds spoke. Tl.. i. . , .me next morning Jbtnei was worse. 1 here had been several ca ses of smallpox in the neighbor hood, and the doctor who was'urst called in, a young village practi tioner, with no overstock of brains, or education, pronounced it a case of smallpox. He did not tell Eth- 1 so, but told Mrs. Lindsey .and Gerald. And the conseonence. x was, that within an l our of the time he communicate I the knowl edge to them, they were on their way to the station. They, each of them, left a letter for Ethel, which she read at once. Mrs. Lindsey said, she could not think of remaining longer, to be a burden upon her, as she had no means to support even herself ; but she could always love her, she would always seem to her like a beloved daughter; but duty seemed to demand, that she should depart at once, etc. Gerald's letter was more poetic and flowery. He cursed his evil star more bitterly than ever. He denounced hisN fate he was wretched, despairing ; but his bu siness called him back again to the East at once ; he must go. He ended by avowing, that the star of his fate was setting in blackness and gloom. But he knew the good angels would be with her he knew they would watch over the lot of one so innocent andgood. They, neither of them, men tioned her illness. That was too nwkward a subject for them to converse upon gracefully, so they ignored it. Poor Ethel! She had fallen upon evil days, indeed. Her old nurse stayed with her, and was faithful and true, and waited upon her, devotedly. But, as the days went on, and she lay, burning up with fever, and raving with, delir ium, she thought, in the intervals of consciousness, that she some' times felt, upon her burning fore' head, a softer hand than good aunt Chloe's, a lower, tenderer voice the tenderest, and most loving voice in the Avhole world, soothing her, calling her pet names. But, when consciousness re turned, no one was in the room but aunt Chloe, and her daughter Fanny, the chambermaid. Aunt Chloe was speaking, in a low tone. "To think that Mrs. Lindsey and her son, after pretendin' to think so much of Miss Ethel as they did, should run off and leave her, because they thought.-it was smallpox; so afraid of losin their precious lives, just as if it would be a loss precious little loss it would be to anybody. Never waited to see her, or see if they could do anything to help her or make any arrangements? for her to have any. care; they didn't seem to care whether .she was left to die, or not, if the)r only got away." As Ethel lay, and heard these words, a great tide of remorse and despair swept over her. To think of the utter worthlessness of those And Paul did sail, in the very next steamer, for the balmy.
