Miscellany,
Etbcl Homer’s Mistake.
Valentine’s Day ! as soft and sweet a
day as any birds could wish for mating in :
prumiso ot violets in its breath—promises
ot roses in its sunshine. Though, to he
sure, the boughs were bare as yet, and
there weie no green things growing, save
in the pots'which Ethel Romer had been
putting out upon the broad window sill to
catch the suushine. The thing that sa
vored most of spring was Ethel Romer
herself, as beautiful a woman as ever artist
painted or poet sang of. Within, near
the fire, sat Dr. Ralph;Romer. Spring
had him _
left long before. If winterfrosts
were not upon his head autumn had touch¬
ed it with gray.
Ethel’s musing was interrupted The
postman,s rap did it. An envelope, with
a pretty border and fanciful seal, and her
name upon it, was put into her hand. At
the sight she blushed rosy-red, knowing
well what lay within, and went back to the
fireside with the thing in her hand.
“ For me f' nsked Ralph.
“ No,” she said ; “ for me.”
If lie had only shown some curiosity
then—if he had looked at ber jealously ;
bad there lecn some shadow of the lover
in his face or mien, all might have been
different; but he went on with his book,
and she carried her valentine to her own
room, to read it there in quiet.
Yes, it wis a valentine. ’Jhrce times
had that daj returned since she married
Dr. Ralph Romer, and each time had it
brought jus; such an envelope, with just
such passiorate lines upon the page with
in, Written h the same feigned hand.—
Again and sgain she read it over—again
and again—just as she had the others, and
ful thought, ob. how bitterly I what a beauti¬
blessed thing lif* might have been to this— her,
life with such glowing love os
that mu3t always be cold and wintry,
affection having only the calm, quiet commonplace
which her gray haired husband
gare era.- her for all the wealth of golden ™t a™
spring time warmth that she felt within
ersoul for all the beau y .nt many an
a. Jcnt youth had cove ed ini her girlhood.
Could it be the fair-haired student who
eat near them in c urch. or the dark
eyed soldier, with an empty sleeve, who
passed their garden so olten . On whom,
had sbe wide nuh an mprcs.ion . ? while
he whose life she shared saw m her only
a good little woman, who had silly ideas
on abstract advice and subjects, counsel. and needed much
sage
Her po.'t heart ached, as her head did.
She felt wicked and ashamed, and very,
very miserable; and forgot how time was
flying, and how her housewife duties
pressed upoo her, until the sinking sun
reminded her of them.
Evcn then she t°°^ on ? * 00 “ : * n e
glass, and thought if she did uot say it, ,
that h great deal of beauty had been cast
away on quiet, unromantic lvalph Itomer.
After tea they walkod out together, and
stood beside the pond in the garden, and
saw the gold fish m its depths; and he
told her of the general habit* of gold fish,
he wiiter of the valentine would have
spoken—ao thought Ethel—of her goluen
hair, i lie stars came out and he spoke of
them, not of hor bright eyes.
» he wanted to turn upon him, and say,
\Y hat arc all these things worth, com
pared with warm and living love ?” She
longed to ask him why he had given her

biack ey«.R and soft voice, who made his
empty sleeve only another charm to win
heart?—who had told her all he Jared
with his tongue, and more with glance and
sigh—must; the she-had valentines, long ago decided, full be
writer of those so of
love and pathos, so fodder, so different
trom anything that Ralph Bonier ever felt
or 2t tor ! d -
fehe bad given ,. him a ,. hint, and .... if it
were he, she would surely know it this
day. And if it were he, then Ethel Ro
racr knew that it had been better for her
never to have been born; for, for the sake
of him who wrote those love poems, she
and was willing wifely to forsake home and husband,
name and fame, and be the
scorn and flout of all the village. To be
so loved for a little while, and then die,
was all she asked.
“ H il C0,n C8 to that; 1 she said, answer*
ing her own .thoughts, “ how my name
will ring ! I shall be blacker than Satan,
Do they know—those proper, frozen vil
lage women, who will scorn me so—what
it is for a loving woihati to lead a loveless
life? It withers one as nculoct and cold
have withered those poor ilowers there.”
For Ethel had set no flower-p'ota in the
sun to-day, nor for watched many days. That
morning she had her husband
ride away on his great brown horse—
thinking how grave and serious he was—
how old in all his ways— how old-manish
was his great overcoat, and his broad
brimmed hat; saying to herself, “ If I
were to leave him, and he were to find the
house empty, he would go on rpding, or
comfort himself with a uew inseet or a new
planet. No need to wonder how he would
And since then she had watched at the
window guiltily and miserably for tho va
lentine, so sure, she thought to come.
At last, site saw a figure coming straight
and fast toward the house, and the blood
flew to her checks and her heart beat fast;
but it was not the postman—only a neigh
bor with blanched face and frightened
eyes, that told bad news before his lips
uttered it.
She went out to moot him, and they
stood .there looking at each other for a
moment. Over the hills a little crowd
was ooming slowly, something in its midst,
“ Dou’t be too lrighteuod, Mrs. Romer,"
gasped the man at last. “ It may not be
as bad as they think. The horse shied
just before the post office, and the doctor
was thrown. He has not come to yet. Oh,
no, no 1”—for she had thrown herself on
her knees, and cried out that he was dead;
“ not dead not dead yet, Mrs. Romer."
But the wretched woman knew that
death was very near, and the flood of ago
ny that swept across her heart told her
that she bad not ceased to love her quiet
husband.
They brought him iu ; and from that
moment, for long days and nights, she
ke P l watc!l bcside his bed, thinking of no
othcr lllight thing on earth, praying J f only & that he
be spared to S1 e su re d ag -
on i cs 0 f retuor8e . Every false thought
p ursue d her with a revengeful stab.
The gra y overcoat hanging on the wall,
w hich she had thought old manish and
like him, as he rode away, seemed to taunt
ber thought that it would never
be worn again. She could not bear tho
8 jg b t of it longer; and so one day she 1 09k
it softly in her hand to hang it in a cor
t ain closet. As she lifted it, something
fell from one of the pockets—a letter or a
paper.' She stooped to recover it, mid saw
a fauciful envei >pe with a bright seaR and
ber name upon it. Such were tho valen
t; nes th a t carno to her. This was surely
one 0 f t j icm ^at dl - d ; t mean ? n ad
her husband discovered the writer ? Had
there been some cause for the accident of
w hjch s he knew nothing ? She looked at
the valentine agaiD. It had never been
posted. Ethel began tremble from
head to violently
to foot. She sank down upon her
knees, clasping tho valentine between both
palms, and held it thus a while. Could it
—could it be?—-oh, could it bo? She
opened it. The same glowing verse, but
Ba dder and more hopeless telling of love
unreturned. The same measure in the
same feigned hand, yet not all unknown,
Had she never before seen that little flour
i s h—that peculiar formation of a letter ?
“0 heaven! make me sure!” sobbed
Ethel, and found her way somehow to her
husband’s desk, and opened it.
Within lay envelopes, like those upon
the valentine, a little box of such gay
seals, and fragments of verse—tho proofs

A tiood name
In the school of Dr. Woods none were
allowed to enter the conservatory without
leave ; but a boy’s handkerchief, been with his
name upon it, bad found there._
Just a t the close of school the Doctor call- §
cd the name of James Howard. The
whole school became silent with suspense
“James Howard! what has he done ?
such a noble boy 1 such a good boy!’* all
thought. Dr. Woods himself believed ho
must have been sent into the conservatory
by the James teacher of botany h ; so he asked—
the- Howard, ave you been into
conservatory ?”
«I have not, sir,” replied James, in a
clear, calm tone.
“ I believe you, Jn uu> ” Dr. YF~
“although found your handkerchief has been
there. You aro not the boy to tell
an untruth."
Jauios sat in his seat unmoved.—
Every almost boy in the school believed him ’ and
envied his good name.
Dr. Woods said nontore on this subject
except these few words.- Let every boy
learn from this incident the worth of a
good name, especially when aupearances 1
are against him.
How came James’ handkerchief in the
conservatory ? for, as I have said, it was
contrary to the rules of the school for a
boy to enter there unbidden. James had
lent it to a small boy named John Hand,
to tie up some nuts the day before, when
they had a little ramble together. ife Tho
boy forgot to return it. also forgot
the rule of the school against entering the
rushed conservatory, but, seeing the door open,
in to look at some rare flowers._
The handkerchief, being partly out of his
pocket, dropped upon the ground,
See here the evils of heedless forgetful
ness. The boy had exposed a schoolmate
to centure; and had it not bean for James
Howard’s good name, his teacher would
surely havo thought him to be the offend
er. At least, so thought John liund.
How ashamed he felt when Dr. Woods
said these words about a good name. The
words broken kept ringiug in his ears. He had
a rule of the school, and was afraid
to own it. lie thought the Doctor would
despise him if he knew, and so would tho
boys. All the day, all that night, he had
no He peace. At length he wcut to see Ji it.
was not afraid to tell him nil about
“ I did forget it, James, truly, honestly,
I did," said the child; “but I'm afraid
the Doctor won’t believe me as he does
yea." Yes he will," replied James. You
M “
have been so short a time in school, ihore’a
some excuse for you. Go at onco~ and
own up; for the longer you put it off tho
harder it will be. Always own a fault at
once. Don’t bo afraid r ' tha Doctor will
forgive you." # £
Thus encouraged, tho boy went to Dr.
Woods, confessed his fault, and was for*
given ; but he learned a lesson against for
getfulnoss which he always remembered,
