Ida Rossitur continued:
"Thc day he deserted me, that day

l knew what it would be; but when
the papers told me he was dead, had

made to win him, and now, lying cold
and still under the summer daises, he
knows not the fearful sacrifices you are
compelled to endure in giving him up.
With reverential tenderness, she
bent over Winfield Grey's grave, and
kissed the weeping, widowed bride
then departed, as she came, silently,
mysteriously, leaving alone, in the
early twilight, the stricken girl to bear
her burden of sorrow.

He bowed, and walked on.
He had only taken about a dozen
steps, when there came clutch on his
arm, that made him cry out He
turned to see Ida again.
"Stop a moment, | am mysti6ed. l
may be crazy for all | know. But |
must have it from your lips again, those
lips / have dreamed so often about !;
those lips that told me the only news
| ever cared to hear"
She spoke in peculiar dreamy
way; then before Grey could frame
an answer, her eyes filled with tears,
and she laid her hond on his arm,
"Win6eld, my darling, my darling,
don't say that you have ceased to care
for me why, don't you know | love
you, l worship you p
He would have been less than hu-
man had not his heart throbbed at her
confession, but he smiled coldly.
"Two years ago, Miss Rossitur, /
sued for that love; you cast it off. :
To-day you offer it; cast it off. Re-
mcmbering as L do, the shame, the
bitter agony of that night, ! can never
forgive nor forget it.
She seemed not TO hear the last
words.
"You cast me off"
"That is rather q harsh term, Miss
Rossitur I did not say so. Please
be so good as to excuse me"
"No, no. Once moro, Winfield, for
give, oh, forgive me, will you not /
can't live without your love, Winfield"
She claspcd her hands plcadingly,
and rested them on his arm. A mo-
mcnt he gazod into her beautiful,
stormy face then with a calm, and an
almost scornful turn of the lip, nc
spoke
"Will I forgive you? How dare
you askc it, Ida Rossiture ? Never,
so help me Heaven !"
1t was an awful blow to the proud
woman, whose sin was loving too well;
and as Winfield Grey heightened the
distance between them, a look Of pitt
full agony convulsed her features.
Gradually his rececding figure grew
smaller, and smaller, and as he turned
an angle that hid him, there swept
over her form perfect gust Of emo
tion.
Unutterable despair was written on
every lineamcnt, and in the words she
moancd lurkod lifetime Of grief.

The early june sunshine came ID a
gloden quivcr all over the delicate
pink and white velvet carpet that COW
cred the floor of Marian Thorne's
drcssing-room, and while with light
fingers it touched the rare statuary and
costly toilette ornaments, it fingered
longest and most lovingly on the slight,
and graceful figure that stood before
the dressing mirror.
She was goldcn-haired girl, this
dainty Marion Thorne, with eyes the
very shade Of purple violet; shadowy,
serene eyes, that seemed ever looking
out into some misty, uncertain cloud
land. 1
Now she was looking at herself ar
raycd in costly robe of crcamy-whitc
satin, where fell cloud on cloud of
shimmoring lace, where cleaned pure
pearls and soft, white kids. .l
"What, Marionl surely you are not
growing vain enough to try on your
wedding suit to note the effect ?"
Marian laughed as the young girl
held up her hands in amazcmcnt.

Marian smiled and turned again to

"I think my dress is very becoming,

And yet, with all the rapid prepa-

gloom that comes over my spirit at

was about to be poured upon me-"
Marian's eyes were gazing away,
away off as if seeking to wrcst the Sc
crest from her future.
Oracle Rose gave a little scream.

CONSERVATIVE PRINCIpLEs.-Ne do not
admit that in the defeat of Mr. Greeley, the
verdict of the people of the country, was to the
same extent, or in the same manner, given
against Conservative principles. 1t has turned
out that the strength of Mr.. Greeley was over
rated every where, and that so far from being
a help to the Conservative cause, his nomlna-
ton lcssencd its influence, and contributed
even to its failure Whilst Gen. Grant would,
probably, have been elected, in any event, no
matter who might have been the Conservative
candidate. it is now generally acknowledged
that Mr.. Greeley could not command the votes
of the Conservatives themselves. Could
direct vote have been taken, as between Con-
serva,ism and Radicalism, notwithstanding
what has happened, we believe that the vote
for Conservative principles would have been
much greater than now appears from the votes
given to the opposing candidates. There Is no
reason, in our judgment, for yielding the Con-
sentative cause, or ceasug to sustainlt. What
is riqht is worth maintaining in the face OF
temporary defeat; and the time is coming, and
is nor, when it will be more than ever d"tn,
to endcavor to uphold Conservative principles
in the administration of the government.

FiSAHcIAL-The Washington correspondent
Of the Baltimore Sun says: Soon after the
financial markets were opened this morning
assurances came from the assistant treasurer at
New York that although the general stock mar
ket was depressed, there had been no unusual H.
crease in government securities nor any unusual
increase in the premium en- gold, and that there
was general feeling OF confidence, and an ao-
sence Of any excitement. The assistant treasurer
at Boston also teleeraphcd: The loss is large,
hut it falls upon persons who are able to sus-
tain it. There is no excitement. The depart
ment also learnd that the leading inSursnce
companies were able to sustain the losses OF the
fire and that nc trouble need, therefore, be
apprehended from that quarter. Unless there
are unexpected and almost improbable develop
ments, it does not look as though it would be
necessary for the government to extend any
financial relief

what right citizen has to ask the publisher
