A lovely afternoon in tin' sprim;, when the balmy air and tin- fresh, bright toi lets of the ladies made a gala day even on liroadwiiy.

"I am so f-lii'l, Nona, that you arc K"inn with C:'i ile. 1 am sure it w ill do ymi oimd." And then hu ,sopM'd mid kissed her f"r emphasis. "I on to please you Philip. I Hill ipiile well, thank you." "Oh! Imt I don't mean about your health, Nona. You little witch! who could have such bright eyes and red lips mid not he ipiit" well! 1 mean about dress and deportment, and those kind of thiii",." There was a little ominous silence, and then n low, grieved voice; 'I don't think I understand you, Philip." "No, dear; and upon the whole I mil cd id yen have never understood mi far. You see, when we nro married we shall live in the city, and we must behave anil dress us city people do. t'ecile will show you all about il, darling, ho don't trouble jour pretty liltlo head."

"Ah ! she is your ideal, is she.'" Mu h more to the same purpose, min 'led with kisses and compliments, was sail, bill nothiii" in it deceived the wounded woman's heart. Per Nona, Ihoiih not a fashionable woman, was a true woman, nevertheless, and under stood lint only what had been said, but also all that had been left to b inferred. Il was not ible for liiin to leave his business entirely, but it had been ar ranged that once a month he was to pay a few day's visit to the springs, and in the intervals be refreshed and comforto.1 by regular and plent i fill supplies of let ti IX The supply was pretty fair tin' )iis week, but fell off "i i bully afterward, ll til sevi i.il day- p.is, w ithoul any token of Vill i's faith and nc nmiy.

Me bade his mother and Cecile oood by, and f;ave the lejulation kiss to Nona, who received il with perfect placidity and many kind wishes for his pleasant journey; for, as he was to leave very early in the iiiornin;', the ladies did not expect to see liiin a ;aiii before his departure. As they passed out of the parlors Nnn.i turned a niniueii', and a llash of the old tenderness made her face beautiful, her lips parleil, and she he-hated a moment as if she would speak, but linally passed on and away. Po r Philip! Me took his (i.'ar and sit-down oil the dark, sihut b.

"l'hilip!" . Well, you know the end. Philip did not like the fashionable Nona at all; his whole heart cried out for the sweet, nat ural yirl that he had never pi ied i nou.di till he believed her ".one forever.
