How the next two days flewl But
Nugent was no laggard in love making,
and Tom grew quite ecstatie as be
watched the progress of affairs.
As Edith had confded the story Of
her mistake to Laura (under promise
of inviolable secrecy, of course Tom
heard the whole affair as soon as pos
sible, which knowledge not only
doubled his interest in Nugent's WOO
ing, but kept his wife in continual fear
lest he should make some i'll timed al
lusion to it in Edith's presence.
At last the week was gone. The gay
party had made their adieux, and were
speeding in different directions in
search of new pleasures.
Edith and Nugent were the last to
leave, and if she said but little as they
parted at the station. the few words
seemed to amply satisfy him, for he
hovered around her with lover-like as
siduity, and could hardly make up his
mind to let her go without him.
And if anyone could have heard what
she said to herself as the train whirled
her to her destination, they would have
heard:
"How could 1 ever have taken him

Nugenf looked somewhat confused.
''I spent last summer in the Cabskills,
where I met some very agreeable peo-
pie, to whom I fancied you were re-
ferring."
An embarrassing pause followed.
Edith was too much overwhelmed at
the mistake she had made to say any
more, while Nugent was po. ,dering the
situation in very doubtful frame Of
mind.
could she have been engaged to
him?" was his first thought; cor was
it only desperate Irritation, after all?
But she is evidently verv angry with
him. 1 wonder if she cares for him
still? He always was eoneeited fool,
but then the girls used to like MIN i'm

You are passing the Postoffice, Mr..
Nugent," said Edith; and sure enough
he had been so absorbed in thought
that he had forgotten to stop at the
dingy little building, where a severe
and speetseled maiden lady presided
over the mails and sold dry-goods.
Edith stepped out of the phaeton as
it drew up close to the walk, and Nu-
gent, resigning the reins to boy, fol-
lowed her into the small apartment,
where the Postmistress peered at them
through her glasses, but said not a
word.
"Have you postage stamps?" asked
the young lady, absently.
"We have" with great dignity.

unconscious of the growing disfayor
with which she was regarded. Present.
" the Postmistress produced stamp,
laid it beside .Ediths letter, and re-
marked, with great acidity:
" We sell stamps here-we don't lick
'em."
For a moment Edith looked at the
angular old maid, as if in doubt of her
meaning; the next, Nugent had affixed
the stamp, and together they fastened
from the office.
As they drove away, their merri-
ment, for a moment suppressed, be-
came almost uncomfortable. Edith,
leaning back in her seat, laughed at
every fresh recollection of the rebuke
she had received, and Nugent could not
help joining her. try as he might.
That absurd incident did more for
them than a week of explanations;
awkwardness and embarrassment were
driven away as if by magic, and when
they drove up to the door at last they
were evidently on the best of terms
with themselves and the world in gen.
eral.
Tom and Laura, rushing out to meet
them, exchanged gratulatory glances.
Laura carried Edith off to her room at
once, while Tom patted Nugent en-
couragingly on the shoulder, and whis-
pered, "Go ahead, Charlie! you're
likely to get the inside track, after all. F"
To which Nugent answered, thankless-
ly, "Don't be a goose, Tom"

A Woman's Conscientiousness.
The Haverhill (Mass.) Gazette ha.

The Haverhill (Mass.) Gazette has q
correspondent who tells the following
story: "Perhaps the reader has noticed
while journeying upon the Boston and
Lowell Railroad, at Willow Bridge, Som
erville, plain but substantial.neat brick
house upon the hill, only moments
not been opened for twelve years. Twelve
years ago one of the brightest and smart
est mechanics to be found in our bustling
city-young, handsome, whose only ap.
parent fortune was his daily wages, of
which he was very careful, saving all be
could for the one bright object of his
life, which was to marry her whom he
had Won, as soon as they could get money
enough to commence Housekeeping. She
was conscientious to fault, brought up
in the most puritanical Of puritan fam
lilies, good, pure and beautiful. One
bright morning in spring he invited her
to take a drive in the suburbs. They
halted after an hours drive in front of
this house. He asked her how she liked
it. OF course see wished it was theirs
they could be so happy if they only had
home like that. He invited her in.
The house was just completed, and very
nicely furnished. Judge of her surprise
when he quietly informed her that the
property was his, that he owned it. Why,
she was completely dumbfounded, and
OF course wanted an explanation. How,
when, did he come in possession OF so
much property2 He tried to avoid the
question, but she was firm. He finally
told her that he drew $4,000 in some
lottery scheme, and with its funds built
and furnished this home for her. She
turned upon him as though he were the
veriest gambler, vowing then and there
that she would never be his wife until he
gave back the property which he had
gained by what she termed unlawful
means. She scorned all efforts of his to
occcpy the house. They separated; part
ed at the door, which has not been open
ed since. The furniture remains the same
to- day as when they left it twelve years
ago, except what age has done. Both are
wanderers upon the face of the earth,
both lives blasted"

'Oh, mothers whose children are sleeping,
Thank God by their pillows, tonight;
ana pray for the mothers now weeping
Der pillows too smooth and too white;
Where bright little heads oft have lain,
AND soft little cheeks have been pressed:
Oh, mothers who know not this pain,
Take courage and bear all the rest!
For the somber-winged angel is going
With pitlesS flight DER the land,
And we wake in the morn, never knowing,
~ What he, ere the night, may demand.
les, tonight, while our darlings are sleeping
There's many a soft little bed
whose pillows are moistened with weeping
For the loss of one dear little head
there are hearts on whose innermost altar
~, There is nothing but ashes, tonight:
there are voices whose tones sadly falter,
And dim eyes that shrink from the light.
On, mothers whose children are sleeping,
AS We bend to caress the fair heads,
Pray, pray for the mothers now weeping
O'er pitiful, smooth. little beds.
