BoB'S FIRST LOVE.
Concluded.

"The task completed, I dropped
to the ground and ran up the hill to
the post of observation, and there I
sat till the lady made her appearance;
then I waved my hat in triumph,
rushed down, sprang mp the wall, and
seated myself on the top of it. Be-
meath me stood the object of my af-
fections, so close that I could scan
her every feature, catch her faintest
sign. That was great trial, for L
had let my imagination take the bit
between its teeth upon the subject of
her charms; and q coarse complexion.
irregular teeth, or large ears, would
have disenchanted me. But she
really was remarkably handsome
girl, with sort of anxious, distress
ed look in her eyes, which appealed
strongly to the sympathies. There
was certain eccentric, tragedy-way
with her, which ordinary worldlings
might have taken exception at, but
which only served to rivet my chains
the faster.
"Tis we'll, she said, when she had
gazed on me in silence for some
what embarrassing minute. "Now
turn your face sideways; It's again
we'll. Your features recommend you,
but they are sometimes deceitful.
Can I really, truly trust you?"
''Loveliest and dearest, you can,"
I replied from the top of the wall.
Il will lay down my life to serve
you"
"I accept" she said, in solemn
tones, which gave me rather thrill.
One does not expect ones words to
be taken up in that literal way.
'I had sooner live for you,
though" fastened to add; and take
this opportunity of apologizing to
the spirit of the original utterer of
that joke for the theft
"Thanks, thanksl' she exclaimed.
"And what will you do for me? How
prove that devotion which I doubt
not?"

yet in aims and feelings; for the luxury
which is bought by vice with the one is
the thing of all in life most passionately
desired by the other, though she is not
yet prepared to pay quite the same
price. Unfortunately she has already
paid too much-all that once gave her
distinctive national character. No one
can say of the modern English girl that
she is tender, loving, retiring, or domes-
tic. The old fault so often found by
keen sighted French women, that she
was so fatally romaoesq,te, so prone to
sacrifice appearances and social adyan-
tages for love, will never be set down
to the girl of the period. Love indeed is
the last thing she thinks of, and the least
of the dangers besetting her. Love in
cottage, that seductive dream which.
used to vex the heart and disturb the
calculation of prudent mothers, is now
myth of past ages, The legal barter
of herself for so much money, repre-
senting so much dash. so much luxury
and pleasure-that is her idea Of mar
rage; the only idea worth entertaining.
For all seriousness of thought respect
ing the duties or the consequences Of
marriage, she has not trace. If chill
dren come, they find but stepmother's
cold welcome from her; and if her hus-
band thinks that he has married any
thing that is to belong to him-a toee'as
ct p1acem& aAror pledged to make him
happy-the sooner he wakes from his
hallucination and understands that he
has simply married some one who will
condescend to spend his money on her
self, and who Will shelter her indiscre-
ton behind the shield of his name, the
less severe will be his disappointment.
She has married his house, his carriage,
his balance at the bankers, his title /;
and he himself is just the inevitable
condition clogging the wheel Of her for
tune, at best an adjunct to be tolerated
with.

THIS imitation OF the Gene1-71101,Ge IN
dress leads to something in manner and
feeling, not quite so pronounced, per-
haps, but far too like to be honorable to
herself or satisfactory to her friends. 1t
leads to slang, bold talk, and fastness !;
to the love OF pleasure and Indifference
to duty; to The desire Of money before
either love or happiness to uselessness
ut home, dissatisfaction with the monot-
ony of ordinary life, and the honor of
all useful work in a word, to the worst
form of luxury and selishness, to the
most fatal effects arising from want of
high principle and absence OF tender
feeling. The girl of the period envies
tke queens Of the dsmi-nonde far more
than she abhors them. She sees them
sorgeously attired and sumptuously APP
pointed, and she knows them to be fiat
tered, feted, and courted with certain
disdainful admiration of which she
catches only the admiration while she
ignores the disdain They have all for
which her soul is hungering, and she
never stops to reflect at what price
they have bought their gains, and what
fearful moral penalties they pay for their
sensuous pleasures: She sees only the
coarse gliding on the base token, and
shuts her eyes to the hideous figure in
the midst, and the foul legend written
round the edge. 1t is this envy of the
pleasures, and indifference to the sins
of these women Of the deni-nonde
which is doing such infinite mischief to
the modern girl They brush too close
ly by each other. if not in actual deeds.
