Just tdn years ago I met t!io only nnn I ever loved, ftncf, thmigli tlu years nru adding to esfli other, I still U'iniitiibcr the first time we looked ir.tn each other's eyes and clasped the hand tlirit madi; us friends, and true Iriendn, indeul, for life. In tlie city of C , situated upon the banks of one of Ohio's beautiful blue Titers, there lived a family of wealth and culture. Surrounded as they were by all that could refine and cdu' cate a young and giftod - mind, : Miss Alice Marveiiii, 1'iuir second daughter, grew in girlhood' loveliness and ro mantic sweetness, and lon;j before thu age that (idly developes the tvuioauly qualities, she had numerous 1 overs ready to do her biddiiio. Yes, I remember tilt! evening we rort. It us at the link ; upon the elisienino circle of ice ; tha liolu shone down in chaste effdlgeuco and its s ;iutill it'uv s were I ke fire (lies fluting in the bdvtr sheen of a summer niht. In the pnl- lery the band poured forth its sweetest music, and sueiued to batiio all 10 it, soft, voluptuous swell as round and round the skaiersq iakly passed. This particular evening had nssen: bled together thu youth and bvairy of the city. Aiuono the iiuudsome atid,ii'- tractive, Miss Marvcnia was the ac knowledged belle, attired iu a velveteen suit tr'.nin.'eJ with g-ay fox .fur, a Tur kish cap nestled among her nut-brown tresses she looked a q-een iudeed. At last the moment arrived when thu long wished for introduction took place. It was generally know that we were both anxious to become acquainted, and as I glided into the knot of skat cts which were gathered in the furthest corner, perchance to discuss a new figure or quir Borne of tho awkward skaters, Miss Lulu Allison, a' bright and pretty Miss who had long known our desire for tin introduction, seized Upon this opportu nity tu make tho coieted acquaint ance. "Misi Martenia allow me lo intro duce to you my friend, Mr. Ilraleigh. lie is s charming skater, and 1 know you will have a spienaia tune. "Miss Marvcnia, I am very glad to tuaku your acquaintance, and t iiopu we will be nood friends. Can I express the same sentiments for yourself?" "Why, certainly, Mr. Ilraleigh. Do you know that I have noiiced you time and time agnin, and really, this meeting gives me the greatest of pleasure. Won't it be nice? now I hat we Jtuow each other we can have such a pay ti.ne together. Wo shall meet bote every evening, and as the band has now com menced playing, I am going to inU you to be my partuer. Will jou ac cept?" "Certainly. Shall we skato; back wards or forwards?" "Oh', no ; let us join hands and '!;a!e slowly around. 1j you know that L so dislike this hurry nod rush, as though one's 111 ts depended upon eoin;; nrouml this circle just so nnuy times in a iix;id period?' I prefer ta go slowly; am I not ripht?" As this quest'oii was asked our ry s met, nnd it was ovid.-i.t that wo were both pleased with each other's society, aud lean truly say that -thu lo-nuenls passed so quickly and yet so quirllv, that it was to me as a pleasant d'ea'-j. Her sweet, musical voice charmed me and her innocent questions awakoi id iu my heart feelings of thn d-epesl lis ped aiid tsteem. Her eyes, daik as the night, spail.lid ith unusual brill iancy ; and as I looked into their liq iid depths, I imagined hours of l:ajiim"s ; yes, and days of comfort that c uhl be passed under theil Cl a.(iin U'U'l- ence. The hour, hoitever, was uisl npproaidi in when skites were liundled tip a d t'lO weary skaters goiioht tlieir warm firchides. S bidding ii-.!u'U lor u lii'.e to the Bwnkm.e l th.inghts and fonlings which weie uii-.it. g In my mind, L hii'i lened to tho room where, around a large stove, the -Indies and gentlemen were busy taking off their skates, We were greeted upon our arnwal iu me room bv : "Well, indeed I and are you through? we had almost mad J up our mind "that you were going to tkaW ull night." "Now, Miss Villiers, yon know that we hud an engagement for this even ing." "Yes, that is right, make an txcuse. Von ran detiand iiDon it. something is wrong" "Mr. liraleigh, I em not going to speak to yon :gain. N , yu can not smooth it over, You promised me a week 8o that the fimt evening ihe band played you would tench me the ue figuro. li it tu sea you this even ing while you-vuro skating one would n.inrallv sunouso you had forgotten everything else in tho world except her, aud I am certain that if the j mitor. w;uld toaiiiiciiceJ luruing off tho can WELD ON, N. you had not have been t-k'itinij there yet." .. , "C-ime, now. Miss Villiers, t i not be so cruel; you art certainly aware thai my acq laintauce with Miss M irvenia d ite-i from this evening, and, of course, I desired tv) get along as far as possi ble." "Indeed j I expect you were. I am P'rs laded to say that you have gotten til mg so far that you aio already m Ijvc with her." Not wishing to continue the conver sation,, and fearing, perhaps, that hor remarks might he overheard I toned aside. Hastening to where she was, I proceeded to .unbuckle ber skates. Thnnkinj mo very kinilly for so doing. I offered her my company home, which was accepted. Aflrr wrapping up snugly we stepped out ir.to the col. I air. The moon was shining brightly i:i the heavens; ami n's wo '.Talked rapidly to wards her home, the snow crisped nod cia:Uled under our foot, so cold had been l ho day. Arriving at last at her home, and with tho promise that I would attend ths rink next evening, we patted. Well, I . can remember my lonely walk hack that evening; how, as if a now life had come to my young bsart was it love? timid it he that in such a short period I could feel thy pat.. sionato thriilings (,f love's sweetest depths. As 1 lay in my bed that night I felt ns though my fate bad been nenled. I bved h-r, aud I looked for ward to the daf when I could call her mine. I knew it would be a strode to possc-s her ; hut who can dou'ji his weakness when love has made him Hind? li-en n,' alter evening wi: hpent at the lirik. Wo wero the happiest ol all present, tho observed of nil observ ers. It soon became tho talk "that when wa veto together no oilier 8 it:i ety was needod " Wo found so many ways to entertain each other. It was simply an obtrusion f ir any one to tarry with ns. Week followed week, and the months of winter gradually wanned itilo spring The buds upon the trees were putting forth their tiny grean heads, and over the groy oud dreary meadows tho blue grass spread itsulf and seemed like the maguitice.iicc of tho beautiful sky. With the return of spii-ig and its bright and sunny days, our love grew stronger. Trusting in each other our life was one of complete happiness. Who cm doubt the strength of confiling hearts? Who dare say they cannot bo true? Who could believe that treachery could enter into, and take possession of an honest and true heart, and break the sil ver chord of constancy ? For it is con stancy, strengthened by love, that binds the hearts and holds togo her the future happiness of map. and wife. It ii said that youthful love does not exist long it is fickle, soon aroused and easily forgot. Let but a few months of sopiration exist and all will soon bo forgotten. Th" sv.ettl stnilo of the ouu so ardently ad mired will become as a mockery of by gone days. Tho ringing laugh that sounded likfl tho notes of a song-bird, prow fainter and fainter as the weeks grow longer nnd longer. The gilts nhich were so kind and tenderly given so in loso their favorite place in the room, and in their stead petchaoee souvenirs from others are placed, lie that as it may, a separation soon took plane. I was apprised of the tact one even inw as we wero sifing ia tha parlor ril tying cards. It wis settled that Alice was (o l;avo the (.ill.iwiug Jlou diy for Philadelphia, to, attend a pri ato hoauldig schoo', to lo gone oi e year, and as we turned from the card table to the piano, I asked her to piny Millard's "Wailing," a favorite song of ours, whieh she did with considerable fe'. lie". 0 ir eoiiTi rsation then natur ally turned upon tho suhj' ct of her going away, "Harry, I am so sorry that I hive to leave you," she said, "and would you believe it, mu says I caiupa writo to you, or you to me, during the whole year that I mil aay." "And you tiro willing to accede to this " "Indeed, I am not ; but bow cau I help it?" "Can't you arrange it so the mail can he delivered to yon secretly?" "Oil. Harry 1 Ami would you have n.ed 'lhii? It seems so nicked, and if I were to he louud out, then what?" "Then whit ! II ivo you not told n.e that you loved me ; and do ou thn.k that in the time of trouble I shcu'.d deseit you?" "What, you desert me? Oh, no; I could not believe that, but then I feel as though I must obey. The time will li,. short. On v ono Year, uiij then I will bo home ngaia. I'leaio wait." As 1 took my bat to leave she passed into the hallway and niier promising to bo nt the train on the day of her departure, I left. Monday, 12 o'clock at noon, found mo at the depot stepping into tho cars 1, inking hurriedly over the sens I saw Alice and her lather in tho farther end. With a smile on I. or face she welcomed me. and as I handed her a bouquet ol flocrs to bj a companion djrin her travels, she thanked me most cordially. Our conversation was soon brought to a close dy the engine bell which was a signal for departure, Diddmg ber good bve. I hastened to. tho platform. As tho train drew out wo waved each other a last farewell. A vour had now almost passed away aud I looked anxiously fornrd to the day. Aye, I longed for tho hour, when wo should meet u 0., THURSDAY, Frequently I hud heard from her, through friends here, and the messages were always of the best wishes for my1 welfare, and expressed scutiiuouts ol deep regard. Ivich thought expressed in niy smil. It would not bo long, I thought', when wo shall see each other again. The time now quickly passed away, mid the morning of her return had come she was homo. I called at noon, but was greeted upon my arrival with tho startling nens, "Miss Marvenia was sick and it wouhj ho impossible for me to see her." 1 "Impossible to see her!" I ex cl dined ; "why, is . sho so., seriotulv .ick ?" - "Well, I thi-ik so," said tho servant, "hat if you will step into tho parlor Mr. !',ia!ei;;li, I will call her mother; t.ho rr it v.ill be hi tter for you to seo her " Sloppino into the parlor I awaited her c lining, which was not long. Artor llio customary formalities, I enquired very earnestly nftcr tho health of Miss Marvcnia. "Mr Uraleigh, I am very sorry to say that my daughter is ill and ' unable lo s;:o you at present. It may he u week or even three or four weeks before 1 can permit you to call. Voii will, of course, consider that I have my (l ui;:htei s wellare nt heart, nnd will please act upon t'ae suooestion. you "Mrs. M irvenia, you astoni-li me; is it possible lh.it I cannot welc uno her home?'' "Ye, it is true " What could lliis really mean; was she sick? What could have made Mis Marvenia e.et so towards mo? True, sho never suspected our lovo ns I had supposed. What rioht had sho to know of it? Could it he possible that Alice had told her, and now sho was seeking to sever the warm lie which was bind ing us so firmly together? As I wandered homeward. nllf this parsed through my mind. I was con vinciog myself that something had evidently chilled the feelings of Alice's mother towards mo. What it ' was, I know net. Hut I resolved to fi d it out. It was fully threo weeks before I had an opportunity to see her. During this lime I understood that sho had boon kept closely confined. Why, I could not discover. When she passed ulong in her carriage sho looked so sad and pale ray heait sunk withi i mo. Her large black eyes, which were wont to look so bright, now had a far away look ; some ono thing deemed absorb ing all her mind. There was no evidence of physical ' disability.. She had not noticed me, for 1 stood under i he shade trees by the sidewalk, and as I stepped from under their concealing branches I resolved to know tho cause of her sorrow. Hastening to her homo I arrived there just as she stepped from tho carriage to the door. We Diet. Trembling with excitement, she wel comed me, and invited me to a side, 1 inquired the cause of such a change in her face why so sad nnd despondent. With considerable) hesitation she finally said : "0'i, Mr liralri 'h, I cannot, cinnt if 11 y 'U. You do not know what a cliaogo I havo experienced." "A change, Alice? What do you nieanr Harry, I thought I loved you, but within thu last few weeks I know that it cannot he so." Cannot ho so, Aiice? Why. wh' can be. thu mallei ?" As I asked this quisti in I looked into her f;.co with straining een, as il lo read her inmost though' I ki.e a. 'd fell she could net, did not fool ivh il hu was siyioi.'. 'It is mother, Harry." 'Vo'ir mother? Speak then, Alice, and let roe k i til1," I said calmly and wiih deliberation. "Mother savs she hates you and will not permit you ngai.i to see mo. Why, I do not know, .fc'he will not explain. Some one, no doubt, v.h is ;n enemy to you, has told ber bitter .falsehoods. Concerning yourself." "And do you believe Ihcru'f" I said, trembling w'ub excitement aud indlgna- ton. Believe them, Harry?" she replied. As she spoke her maimer was sufficient lo convince mu sho did not. "ISclieve them, Harry? Nj ; and no moat cm pha jc.ally ; and if you say the ord, I will he joins and only yours till death." Kind reader, what would you have (lone under tho ciicumluiice? Here wa3 a yi ling and beautiful gill, wh nil I had loved mo t passionately, willing to leave homo and all tJ bo Iny wile reared in luxury and refinement,' toi go to n home, Heaven only brows where, for I was poor; but tbank Ood 1 no one could point the finger of scorn at nny period in my life when n' single deviation from tho right courso had been made. Sho, as I havo said was willing to bo a p irtnej of ir) joys and sorrows. On the other hand, a proud and fastidious mother, who was anxious that her daughter should occupy a higher posi tion iu life time, Ihe ono which I Could command. She was eager to havo hor daughter sacrifice all the line and noble instincts ol womanly hvG t' tinitily n vain and ambitious Jnucy, I took hur hind in mine,' and with thd words scarcely uudiblo to myself, told her hmv I had loved hor, but to the honor of her parents she owed them a doty, and that was tn obey.. Passing to the dnorwaf I hastening away. Throwing heisell' iu Day anus, aud with lean NOVEMBER 187V streaming down her face, she besnijolit tne not to leave her. With aa effort I gained tho street.

Il.isy us were their pencils their scent for news w is k 'cner. "And if a man has boon bunged, doctor can he, too, be restored by lieat'f" asked one. of thu most inquisitive among them, upon whom thu new method for re ' tiscitatiug the drowned had made a deep impression. Tho doctor, who hail i.ever looked better in bis life, answered mildly : "Why not?" "I'mt what if his neck is broken?" asked a muscular reporter. 'Hanging doesn't break n man's neck." "Did you ever see a man hanged?" demanded the you'll, with the intona tion of a man who had devoted a century or so to sight seeing of tha. sort. "Several times," answered tho man slowlv. "What d ics a hanged man hang his head over on ono side for, then so?" "Not because his neck is dislocated. Thu ligatures of tho n ck nro stronger than any ropo. Hanging never yet broke a neck. It's the shock and, then, tho suffocation. You know hmv it shocks your brain lo make a misstep when going down stairs. Well, there are 50,0011 springs ihut your bead rests on from the neck to the feet, lint when you jerk a u.an up by tho nock the shock comes without any interven tion of springs." "I have heard doctors say that a man s ncclc was broken by banging, persisted the muscular man. "So have I young doctors. Dot surgical science dues uot report such a case." ' O, well, now you're on science, I'll give in," and tho modest muscular re porter withdrew a few starts nnd filled his pipe. His forte is facts straight. "Hid you ever seo a hanged man come to life, doctor?" rsked a doubtiug Thomas. "Yes, I havo." All cars boot perceptibly toward the speaker, uud thero was silence as in death.
