ay0W1ne heF Mult, ana eaknNEly suing -
givsness, then Agnes only remembered she
was Reginald's SISTER. Though the scar
could BY no means be entirely efiaced, (for
Agnes never forget, though, as Christian,
she freely forgave, vet it was not in her
humble and endearing nature to cast aside
the extended hand Of affection. Once
more she trod the old halls Of Irby; it was
at the call of his-,he absent beloved's-
mother and sister; and it seemed to be
tacitly agreed upon by them all that their
intercourse should be on the same footing
as formerly. Reginald's name was casually
mentioned with that Of the rest Of the fam
lily, and Helen remarked that they had
heard of his safe arrival at the assemblage.
Alas how many frail. how very slight,
are the gossamer threads with support hope,
and to which it clinss with such undying
tenacityl Sometinel poor Agnes fancied
she read sympathy and confidence in
Helen's dark eyes when Reginald's future
grogress was canvassed by the anxious
mother; then again there was a sudden
proud turn of the naughty head, or dis
dainful flashing glance Of the eye, which
seemed to infer, "What is our Reginald to
you ?" which shook her belief in Helen's
friendship. Helen herself firmly believed
that absence was the very best thing for her
brother that variety with men at least)
always healed such sorrow, for that the
male sex were tickle, caprlcious creatures.
So fair Helen loved to talk.
She often threw out such hints in the
Presence of Agnes; but "the heart knoweh
lis own bite hess, and stranger inter
meddleth not with its joy;;" and 80 Agnes
Dormer garnered up her joys and SORROWS,
and kept silence. Helen Irby was wo-
man of the world, and she acted, thought,
and spoke accordingly; she did not com
r ,hend the inward life of such being as
T.. r-iend. Her quietness, cheerful sub
mission, and apparent indifference COM
oletely deceived Helen as to the real estate
of her affections. So long as Reginald
continued true, so long could Agnes endure
that frightiul blank of existence which fol-
lows crushed hopes ane forbidden love
she existed on memory and faith (women
can do tbis;) she was more blessed iu
treasuring his dear memory though for
ever separated than in any joys this world
could kestow. Helen came to the sage
conclusion that "aiter all, it had been a
mere boy-and-girl affair something to be
arhamed Of hereafter, and forgotten now"
Helen told her mother so, insisted so to
herself: but there was little, veIy little
corner in her woman's heart which whis
peaed another tale in low, >melodious
voice, sad and sweet as dying notes Of the
lonely swan floating down to die.

(TO BE CONTINUED

lD8tOn.
The Philadelphia "Ledger" of Tuesday
says
'sSome most interesting fac-similes Of
relics of the early days Of the Republic have
lust been received at the Exhibition, these
being photographs of four hitherto unpub-
lished letters of Gen. Washington, which
have been stored away for years in the
town museum of the borough of Leicester,
England. They are addressed to Mrs.
Catherine Macaulay Graham, Bracknal,
Berks, England, and are all dated in the
year 1890. Who this lady was has not been
definitely ascertained, but she is believed to
have been an authoress and closely related
by birth or marriage with the Macauly fam
ily. The lady is believed to have occupied
Rachlev Temple, about six miles from
Leicester, the home of the famous Zachary
Macaulav, one of the first antagonists of
slavery, and the ancestor of the late Lord
Macaulay and as some of Washington's
ancestors are buried near Leicester, the &C
htanceship may not be difficult to trace.
/ cTke photographs were obtained by Mr..
Cook, of the tourist firm, while on recent
visit to England, and by him brought to the
Exhibition. The most interesting of these

to the head of the new Republic and state
ment of his views upon the establishment
of the new Government. After stating that
nothing short of an absolute conviction Ct
duty could ever have brought him upon th
scenes of public lite again. Washington
saws: sThe establishment of cur new Gov
ernment seemed to be the last great expert

reasonable compact in civil society. 1t was
to be in the first instance, in considerable
degree government of accommodation as
