Dumbly standing there, the would
be husband teheld the front door open
suddenly and q form he knew, bcasti-
full with youth and grace, ran to meet
the stranger. They beth disappeared,
and the door shut the sudden and ap-
paling vision from his ken. Wronsed,
insultesl, griered aud xengeful, he left
no step untred,len BY which ne could
solve his difficulty. We ariegy sketch
the sequel. A few days passed, and it
was known that the old lover of Miss
had arrived in the neighbor-
hood. He belonged to q phase Of her
lite antedatiag the suit as our hero,
bat had ever possessed the golden key
which Was master of her heart. Alb
seuce had not altogether effaced his
memory, and letters received just pre-
yious as the appointed wedding day,
filled with gentlereproackes, bad 9site
revived the testsl FIRE, aud she was
exen willing to verify the old corlplet !:
"Wunrau's faith and womau's trust
Write their characters in dnst.' ~ -
1t il needless To say that the two
men met each other accidentally about
week after the gushing welcome to
number two. What transpired is not,
of course, known. 1t is v"ry well as
certained, however, that, in the former
part of this month, they both suddenly
disappeared from the lady's neighbor-
hood. Whether die first actor upOn
the scene WAS eternally dismissed ;
whether the second, since the day she
"Belted him with her white emhrsce,"
received sweet assurances Of 8&ebcg.
and was spurred to y deed Of viOlence
to create a tabxla rsssa for his own hy
menial purposes, is as yet unknown
The artior of both, however, justi6es
the terrible suspicion of = duel. With
names thus vailed from public scruti
ny, we intrude upon no glcrest privacy
OF human hopes, aspirations ol pur
poses.

Real difiidency and innate mOdesty

Of the present days, says the Calvert
{ Md Journal that cases OF the ''siInon

was tissd upon when abe was to make
him the s.happiest Of men," When
that day arrived the store cakes and
whiskey were provided, the clergyman
was in attendance, and friends and
neighbors were assembled to join their
voices in the Joyous epthnlminIn, when
10 the bridegroom came not. After
anxiously awaiting until all hope Of
his coming was past, party Was
formed to 60 in search of the missing
groom, aud the bride select swsoned
away. The bridegroom, who had all
this time been evainly endeavsring to
.sscrew his courage up to the sticking
point had hidden himself in order to
see what turn events might take.
Whsn he beheld the party of dis
.eoxery eeming toward him, thinking
that discretion was the better 'art Of
valor, be teok to his heels and fed in-
.cvntinentiy. A halt was, hewrver,

arose /; thy bride, whose amour proprt

formed her of the conditions npen
which she might retarn hoise -aad be
shielded frola the necessity at clinging
to her present rssde Of life. Those
conditions were that she should give
up that mode forever, return to her
native place and enter an asylnm. The
heart broken peniteiIt expressed her
willingness to embrace the first two
conditions, but shook her head at the
third. Her soul was hungering and
thirstins for love-for fathers bless
ing, q mo,hefs kiss, the sympathy of
the brother's aud sisters among whom
she had spent a happy childhood. She
was longing to be forgiven, yearsiAg
to be received back into the good ID
path once more. It was H. old story
