Summer with its beautiful blossoms had
faded into autumn, and its low-sighing
breezes had passed to another cline, when
a city paper announced the news that An
drew West, young, sklllful physician,
had led TO the hymtnal altar Miss Jane
Howe, q lady possessing many personal
| charms and rare musical accomplishments.
The old saying that people are talked
about when they are born, die and are mar
ried, was verified at the marriage of An
drew West and Jane Howe for gos-ips
declared that the bridegroom was only
poor doctor, and the bride nothing but
music teacher, and made her own dresses
One year had gone into the past, and !
received an invitation TO visit the heroine
of my story. In due time he idea was
suggested that l would visit DR. West and
the music teacher. After surveying the
surroundings rang the b, Il, and was ad-
mtted to the parlor, which exhibited do
nestle taste and skill in its arrangements
Their home was a beautiful one, but lot of
large dimensions. Every department was
furnished with articles suitable for il, even
the cosy drawing room. Tue centre-table
was strewn with choice books, weekly
journals, magazines. There sat DR.. West
in his easy chair, with his left elbow on the
table, and his eyes seeming to be scanning
the pages of medical work, and Mrs.
West had been peruslng the preface of
Fashion and Famine" by Mrs. Ann S.
Stephens, presented by her husband when
he came home to tea. The remainder of
the evening was spent in pleasing coayer-
satlon, and they all looked happy, for love
was there.
The fair, sweet face of that young beau
tlful wife comes to me now, and looks the
same it did the evening l saw her beside
her husband at the table in their admira-
bic home. And now, while the winter
stars are looking down upon me, in my
silent chamber, | write these truthful
words lt is better to marry for love than
for money.
But, dear reader, | must call your atten-
ton to the occupants of another parlor, in
stone mansion on Fifth Avenue, then lis
ten to your remarks. 1t is a gorgeous one,
with the gaslight flooding the rare paint
ings, and choice exolics perfume It with
their rich fragrance. But no kind words
are there, 10 goodbye kisses like soft
toned ma c, ever float through its halls, for
its rmltes are dissatisfied with each other
Thtro Is no cGngrniaiity of taste or sentl-
mem beiN zen ,h,m for tie lady Of that
splendid mansion married sicily for money,
and e-eiA desire That II can buy she COM
mands.- Npug alas! she made her riches
her god, and All tue he4uiy and ten
derness in her sui mas pr I'd, having it
destitute OF friendship AID love she hss
no kindly greeting for hes husband, for
display and vanity is her CHIEF u,i'ght, and
may go down to the crave withou, nlow-
ing the worth of domestic ys She lie 80
welded to her money hat lone OF il can
find way into the cherries hol,es of The
poor and unfortunate. Christmas toys,
presented by her, never caused little feet
to dance about the dreary attic. No
youthful hearts have been made glad by
her sweet smiles and loving words, for
that rich lady sold her woman nature for
money. Sad mistake Ineed not tell you,
reader. who this rich lady is, residing on
Fifth Avenue, for YOU must have guessed
correctly.
Money is not an evil, but blessing. in
the wise, iudicious hands of the philan-
thropist. II is not money, but an inordi-
nate love of II, that dms the soul, and
closes the ear to the voice of suffering hu-
manity.
There are many retiring natures which
have the notes of sweet music inscribed
upon them, but, by the thoughtless and
vain considered almost worthless and as
much neglt cted MS the modest little violet
that blooms quietly beside the ripping
rllls, ard more true 10 nature than the rich,
snowy blossoms which are so often praised.
My little story, dear reader, is not all
fiction, and is written hoping IL may do
good. by showing them that riches alone is
insufficient TO command, for any great
length OF time, admiration from husbands
or wives, VINO have allowed money to in
fluence them in selecting companion to
walk with them through he adverse scenes
of mortal life.
The cultivated mind. adorned with the
gems of religion, brings from the recesses
of the soul subjects for profitable and in
teresting conversation, and auemepts
