 lin, a very famous phiIanthropist, en1iste6 them all to help her in her table at fhe great fair in the Music-HalI for the ben eft of the mission; and then the next day all the girls spent . very. ehaEiAablas and very successful sfsernoon. ss 1s-ssss sl-.S
 Bak | did not descxsbe tEi sweek at HeEmOn- Why should | describe thas8 ten days d Boston? A day at EahAnts GL ffescO, with two perfect black walters, who arranged the lnneh on the grass, because no one had moved down Co Nahmn9 60 early; visit to Plymouth and the Fore fathers Rock viSak tO the AntiqnaKlam Hall at Worcester. and one to the witches home at Salem-these occupied So many days Then there was the famous ball given by the city of Boston tO the Duke of GerOlstein in the Boston Theatre, when all CoIOnade Row was taken for supper tables. The old rules of the Femey fa4= ily were wholly violated-ail four of tha girls went and they danced with elegant young men til they almost died. And at last not only the bah but everything else vas over and on the 24th of May the girls xent home, after such vis1k ss even they were staggered to look back upon.
 Edward and Psyche took them tO the train, and. when it had fairly rolled out of the station. she took both his hands, and they looked each other Ia the face and laughed till the tears ran out of all four eyes. And as they mounted the carriage, Psyche said, ''Now we will live like eIVIl- ized beings again 7"
 Dear Psyche, could you not east the fu- turs better?
 That day, as they had arranged, she packed her things and Geofrey's for the country, and the next day they vent, bag and baggage, to a beautiful place, MF. Ross had hired, at the corner of Hale Street and Beach Street, for q sea-shOre home in Beverly, so that dear Geofrey might have the south wind of the sea, the purest of air, and the freshest of sAlt-wa- ter. brought up for his daily bath The only grief was that Edward had to take the evening train for Boston five nights in the week. But he always ap- peared fresh and bright at breakfast, and l in the bath at noon, in the da1Iy walk, or l in the evening ride to the station, life seemed all the happier because the thsee hags of Painted Post had returned to | their lair.
 But this paridise lasted only fortnight, when the tempter came. This letter ar- rived from Priscilla

 ''MY DEAEEsT PsYcHK,-YouT sisters and have had a very serious coRUeTsG- tiOn about you and the lie yOH are lead ing. You seem to be very happy; but have you thought, my dear Psyche, that you are dancing on the edge of a volcanOe Have you asked no questton as to the fu- ture? Are you so blinded as to JOrget that the wages of sin is death, and that the joys of this moment are as nothing compared with the teTTors of eternity? Your sisters and have spoken to dsGr papG about the lie yoW lead He has bidden me write Co you inst what 4 0bink, and your sisters also say 1t Is my dufy to l do so. I write you, tbeTefore-hOw sadly you kn0w-tO say that as a CiTtstiGH trO- man you ought not 10 continue in this life. You sbOuLd rise above, 1t and assert the freedom of q child of God W1sut <s q dinner at Parker's if eaten with agssfIgy cORscience Better Is dinner of herbs where love is!
 I 0D1 sorry to write you letter which seems sewers. But yOs E750ac, my dear ] child, that am as q mother to yOn. And surely the cOunsels of a mother will be saCeeter to you than the fafteF5es of any not so near as she.
 Always your loving sister, sal
 PRISCILLA"
 ''COunsels of . fddle-stiek T., said Psyche; and she wrote this answer:
 "what in the world is the matter? saw no dislike of PaTker's dinners when you were here believe you are crazy. Always yours, PsYCHE"
 And she threw PrisciIla's letter into the kitchen fire. This was her mistake. She would have been wiser had she shown it to Edward. as she did the other But she was ashamed to.
 Another .week brought her another letter

 "MY DEAR CHnD,-I am shocked with the Eeeity of your note, scithOHt dGte, which lies before me.
 Dear Psyche, fools make B1scE of sin How can you exult in your own shame How can you live as the wife of . man of whom you know ysOkgking, whose whole life Is sNspicsOeEs and 6 sc0ndaI, who IS himself so ashamed of 1t that hs does not admit his OIry1 trijc to a knOwl- edge of it's secret scGyss can not see how . child of Cgsri&t5aB DGre5sts should De so OtsIeoC0 and D1JSse1.

 And aha&hrew PriseilIa's letter into the sea at high tide-tOrn into little bits. This was her second mistake.
