ed in n word or two, and then they
lance out q sentence, pierce the mat
ter TO the quick and are done
Your conversation falls into their
mind as q river into q deep chasm,
and is lost from sight by its depth
and darkness. They will sometimes

then they are silent again, As If they

counsellors, and true friends where
they profess to be such. To them
truth is more valuable than gold,
while pretensions is too gauzy to
deceive them. Words without
point to them, are like titles with
out merit, only betraying the weak
ness of the blinded dupes who are
ever used as promoters of other
mems schemes.

darling, and o you viii be true tc
me my Nary"
"Wilton-how the memory Of her
voice thrilled his heart stili-'Wii-
ton, you may trust me :" and il was
not the words so much as the look,
which filed his soul with such trust
that if an angel had spoken from
Heaven, he would have believed no
more fully. He remembered the
last kiss, and that his eyes were
dim as he sprang into the carriage.
1t was the last time he ever saw
Mary, or the red house, with the
weeds growing On its edge.
He had never blamed her-when
he learned that she was another's,
and his heart grew dead within
him.
He knew she was true, and that
was a great blessing; her friends
had deceived her, and she had gone
to the altar, believing that Wilton
was false to her.
MaFy's family was a poor and a
proud one SO was Wilton's.
When the rich man came and laid
| his.wealth and social elevation at the
feet of the country girl, her parents
| looked of on the little yellow cot
tage, which was Wi4ton's home and
said, 'EOur child shall be the wife OF
the rich man 20 But Mary was true !;
God bless her! and there was long
web of falsehood woven around
her heart, before she yield to their
entreaties. He learned i all too late.
And then Wilton Hughes WClts
out in the world aud dfd pod battle
with it. He educated himself he
elevated his family, and at thirty
five he was a rich man.
He had but two sisters, and Whe
his parents died, they moved to the
CITY, and married rich men. POud,
fashionable, elegant women they
were, admIring their brother, be-
cause the world did so, and yet
dreaming little of the spring OF poe
try, whose clear waters gushed
through and kept green her heart,
so hidden from them. They called
him odd, notiOnal, fastidious, and
could not understand why he was
so indifferent to women, with whom
his graceful, half indolent manners
made him an especial favorite.
Wilton Hughes lived with his sis
Ter, MIS- IllliS. one W - Sl4S gOAuS-
er, and perhaps he loved her the
better of the two. But there was
no sympathy between them. He
was a mys terry, and very proVok-
ing one, sometimes, to her and she
was to him like a book which one
admires for the elaborate binding
and gilt edges, but knows there
is little inside, after all.
And so Wilton Hughes sat there
alone, in his sisters drawing room,
that winter afternoon, and the old
years came up softly, and sang a
sweet song to him, u song of youth !
and love, and hope, and he found, !
after all, that the past still kept |
some pearls with which to dover |
the present.
1t was quite late when lie came |
back again to the paper and the |
arm chair; and he smiled sweet |
half mournful smile to himself, as
he looked at his watch and muir

As the time for burning coal has
come, and most people want 10
eeoAomize as much As possible, the
advice OF the London Spectator
might be ofsome prastical benefit.
The most practical suggestion yet
made toward economy of coal seems
10 be the use OF solid bottoms in or
dinary fre-grates. It is proved
that in any IRE places not exees-
lively small, plate OF iron placed
upon the CRATE will halve the con-
sumption Of coal, reduce the smoke
and leave a free-burning fire. Quite
sufficient air enters through the
bars, no poking is necessary, and
the 1ire never goes out till the coal
is consumed. There is no ash and
no dust; every particle OF fuel
being consumed. Any householder
can try this experiment, and re-
duce his coal bills say thirty per
cent At the cost of = shilling.
