 "N as ever mother so vcxc! Gs l amS continued Mrs. Lindsay, f-owuIng on tLe subject of her displeasuIe, who was standing mcekly before hcr with folded hands and eyes suffused With tears. "Here you are, Frances Lindsay. daugh- ! ter Of a rich and honorable house. run ming all around the city among the lower [ classes, seeking out your charitable 'Ob- jects,' as you call them, which objects are generally dirty old women and rSga-
 muffin children, whom you bring here ! regardless of our feelings aE well as our responsibility, expecting We shall feed | and C.Ctie them. There IS not a tramp in Boston who does not know the Lind say residence, and does rOt come here at some time or other to be fed and pam- pered I tell you, Fanny, 1t is simply ! outrageOus~
 "But, mamma, do they ever trouble you?"
 "No, thank goodness, I can't say that they debut then the idea how very : p.ebeian and vulgar"
 Father sympathiZes with me"
 "Nery likely ne does. His tastes were always vulgar; but in my veins there Is no plebeian blood, and I can notr' And
 MrS. Lindsay raised her algrrtte to her { nostu!s, as 1T there w;ts something COR i tInluatiEg m the very name of plebeian.
 Fanny IS just EAe papa said Miss [ Belle, with a contemyuous shrug. He'd | sooner dine with q poor man any day than the Lord Mayor of Boston" Whereat Fanny laughed. Tn, idea oi Lord Mayor in this Republican land was very rich. and she appreciated it. ! What aTe you lauvhing at2" de- handed Belle, vEo knew it was at some mistake of hers.
 "I was only thinking l should Ike to see the Lord Mayor. O, Belle. I fear ycu- eiHcati0n has b.cn quite neg .rcied."
 "!t has not been neglected SD that | ' ana oulv iu my element among the | rrmPs and begcgIs" was Bell,'s spite | Iui EeloiBder.
 Fanny, you are very rude." said her ! mother, with severity. "Belie's nerves ! are 'ery delicate, and ought not to be l"-frt tE@ very least. Dr. Wallace says las."
 i Fanny smiled. She knew the doctors private opinion on the subject. but as 1t
 was given sub rosa, she dii not then re- ! peat It.
 ] Making her escape from the room. she Eas;cued to the kitchen where she found a small basket Of delicacies prepared by | tse cook, another of her sympathiyess | . q TF mo l.. | t..- house by the rear door, taking care . ,aat Ecue oi her Clatives should see her. A short but rapid walk brought her to fine door 3i dreary-looking tenement house and, entering, she passed up the narrow staircase, dismal and unsafe, ? aAd Tdpped gently upon the door of one Oi the rooms.
 Come in,' feeble voice responded. WI hy, Mrs Galt,' said Fanny as she 1 "irled tiie invitation "are you aiOne?"
 "ses, dear Miss Fanny" replied the invalid, for such she Was, sadly, "I am alone. and am compelled to remain alone tie greater bart of tine time. Johnny must go out to sell his papers or We could not live, and have no one else. But after all" she added, brightening up, 'l get along quite we'll have my Bible always"
 But II you should happen to be talk eE with a violent fit of coughing~ ex- claimed Fanny, sOrrowfully gaZiugupOn the wasted cheek, on which cousump- . tion's hectic seal was plainly visible
 God would take care of me- said Mrs. Galt, looking up reverently. Fanny's tears were flowing, but she took her basket and spread the delica- cIes before the poor woman, whose eyes were also full as she found voice to mur- mur:
 "God will surely remember you, my friend, for all your kindness to me, and He will remember you forever
 And Fanny, not the least aristocratic, stopped over the bed and kissed her.
 Where have you been:' asked Belle, as Fanny reappeared in the par Tor a couple Of hours later.
 Fanny did not perceive the tall gen tleman who stood conversing with her father in the curtained recess of the deep bay window, and she replied un- hesitatIngly:
 " have been to see poor Mrs. Galt, who Is dying slowly of consumption. l carried her a few trifiing comforts, for she has not long to live"
 Belle crimsOned with vexatIOn. The gentleman started violently, and stepped from behind the curtain.
 Ny sister, Mir. Husmer." said Belle
 He bowed as he took Fanny'S hand. !. then asked in some excitement.
 Whom did you say you visited, Miss Lindsay"
 \ Mrs. Gait" replied Belle tippaut- : ly, Sc sick and pOverty-stricken prUtcge of hers. We don't encourage her in such {. vulsaritv, however,
 1 spoke to your sister, Miss Belle" !. sand lir Hosmer, with such emphasis . that the rebuke was keeuly felt.
 Miss Fanny, will you please inform me what her Christian name Is 2" he asked earnestly.
 1t IS Arelia, believe"
 "Mr. Hosner's voice grew husky.
 And you say that she is dying ?-
 "Ies-gOIng in quick consumption"
 "You seem to take great interest in a beggar, Mr. Hosmer," Belle interrupted, scornfully.
 His dark eyes flashed with sudden fire, ard his cheeks reddened angrily. as he rejoined;
 "So I should, Miss Lindsay, when that beggar is my sister for Mrs. Galt, the only sister that l ever had, I could not find for years. or course you will not care to wed the brother of a beggar. therefore, if you please, we'll consider our engagement at an end. l do not care to have my wife look down upon me"
 There was a scene, But Mir Hosmer, who had woocd and won Belle at Newport, where he had seen but one side Of her was inexOrable as Fate, and humbled to the dust she gave him up.
 NIT. HOsmer went to see his sister, and in day or two she was removed to the grand house over which Miss Belle had once SO fondly hoped to preside as mis- tress. But his visits to the Lindsay mansion did not cease with that Unfor- tunate Cne-Or fortunate, we prefer to to say-and after the death of Mrs GGlt, who, in prosperity as in adversity, re- garded Fanny almost as an angel, his house grew strangely lonely And SO but why proloug the tale He married fanny, and Is not sorry yet while Belle, whose delicate nerves could scarcely endure Newport or Saratoga, went through four seasons at one place or the other before she caught husband.
 Miss LIndsay's views were somewhat modified.
