had ceased to assert itself as formerly,
and became conspicuous by its absence.
Every thing in Mr.. M Governs room by
some magic got into its right place. In
animate things may be totally depraved,
but somehow his showed an evidence of
reform that. argued the existence of
saving grace somewhere. Where on
earth were the holes in his stockings
He missed them. Certainly hole in
one stockings is more honored in the
breach than in the observance; but
what peculiar experience for a clerk
in boarding-housel
One day Mr.. MGovern happened to
remember what his landlady had said to
him about her daughters "edication." "
Poor womanl he didn't wonder some
big words bothered her; every now and
then ne came across one that puzzled
him. But he must get safe subject.
How would politics do?-here he was
tolerably strong himself.
1t is humiliating confession to make
regarding ones hero, but no sooner had
Clarence NJ Govern begun to talk politics
with Annie than he speedily made up
his mind that the administration of our
republican government was the one
thing on earth that he knew nothing
about. How humiliating it wasl The
same thing over again. 'If you amt q
rich man or a newspaper chap, what
can you do with a girl? They get their
heads packed full of things at school
that a fellow who's got his living to
earn can't know anything about, and il
you haven't got any ymoney-This world
is beastly holep concluded Clarence
M'Govern; and in that statement he
embodied the sentiments of many q
wiser man.
But in this case it was too bad. Now
with Arabella, rich, beautiful, and we'll
born, it was different; but to be extin-
guished by Mrs. Gibson's daughter! he,

he not rising man, and were there not
indications Of good birth in his very
features and in .his very name? To be
sure, he hated TO attempt tracing his
lineage; itwould boltup against tailor
shop in the Bowery in such an aggrava-
ting manner. But clearly names sprung
from something. Why should his an
cestors be named NJ Govern if they never
had anything to goyern2--impossible
But such a plebeian name as Gibson
bah!
And there was something very delight
full in Annie's society when he kept out
of deep waters; and when one day she
asked him, very sweetly, "Who is
Arabellar Mr.. M'Govern felt that
his cup of happiness was full. With
Arabella for sweetheart and Annie for
confdante, what man could want
more? The food-gates of his soul were
opened. He certainly lacked the elo-
oquence of that much-to-be-envied news
paper chap; but Annie was sympathetic,
and she got notion of his longings, his
doubts, his aspirations, quite as correct
as if they had been more elegantly ex-
pressed. Then came the story of the
sonnet that wouldn't allow itself to be
written, and the stupid, uncomfortable,
contumacious behavior of that awful
polysyllable Arabella.
"Don't put it at the end of a lne,' y
suggested Annie. "Get over it at once
and have it out of the way"
"Capitall" said Mr.. MGovern.
Could you, Miss Annie, give me an
idea, suggestion, a line or two per.
