If any¬ thing should happen to call me away from home, Isabel, my wife—‘Bella, we call her—will entertain you until I re¬ turn. I want you to see Bella ; and she wa«tw «w»e you. You’ll say I ought to be a happy man. And, remember, you are to spend a month, at least. O, we’ll have rare sport.’ * I shall be there if I’m alive, Harry —depend upon that; and if you suffer yourself to be called away before I come, and are not there to receive me, I shall proceed at once to claim the attention of your Isabel.* * All right, old fellow. You will be warmly received, I can assure you. Bel la is anxious to see the old chum whom I have told her so muck-* X Harry Lynde and ^ ched to each other friends I as rothers could be. They were young—the first being four-and-twenty, and the other a year younger. Harry had been married six months, and had settled down in a pleasant villa on the Hudson, provided and furnished by his wife’s father. Fred had just come into possession of an ample fortune; and be¬ fore going into business—which was all ready for him in the shape of a partner¬ ship in a heavy commercial house—he had planned to enjoy a summer’s vaca¬ tion ru the country ; and his first trip out from the metropolis was to be, as we have seen, to his chum’s,- on the Hudson. The Fourth of July came and passed, and on the following Monday Fred Far¬ ley made his way up the river. He found the dwelling of his friend—one of the most romantic and delightfully situated villas he had ever seen—and as he entered the par A: he asked the coach man if Mr. Hairy Luyde was at home, ‘No, sir. He went away last Friday, on business. But he expected you, aud told me that the horses were to be ut your service.’ ‘ Aud Mrs. Isabel Lynde—is she homo ?’ ‘ Yes, sir; and I think she will pro¬ vide for you very well.’ Fred had playfully declared to hts friend that he hoped he should find him gone upon his arrival, that he claim the undivided attention of Bella; but now that the prospect was so near to verification, he fidt a little bashful and uncomfortable. But the coach was at the door, and he resolved to put on hold face and meet the lady blushing or flinching; for he had no doubt that Hurry had repeated to her all his nonsensical remarks'. ‘ Mrs. Lynde, this is Mr. Fred Farley,’ said the smart and affable coachman, as he led the way to the piazza. 4 Mr. Far ley, M.s. Isabel Lynde.’ Fred looked upon the woman who stood upon the piazza to welcome him. Peris, and heuns,and sylphs, and fairies all lost caste in his estimation from that moment. A more beautiful being he had never beheld. And v«*r sh,' was not one ties, of such the air as fob ^P^nnor, h(fi seen made-up in drawing- beau rooms, and in lall-footns, but a substan tial. whole-soStefc wh¥ frank-faced, lovable woman with volume, of truth and poetry in thiwveet shimmer of her smile, and in thebft, liquid light of her large brown eyes ‘ I am sorry ;W&e H*ry is not at home, Mr. Farley will try and make you comfortifB^tetfl he returns. He would not have ,*he if he could posui bly have avoided-’.’ ‘ Fred, He had busitj-s, entered I suppose,’remark ed as tiiei Jfc the drawing room. V; 4 Yes ew^lled to Albany, and may have to g* important railri Mi.tness.’ For a littl^fl e Fred felt very bash ful. IfMrsfl lb hod been common, or plain, he wl' have felt differently; but friendlfh^ it seemed ^ profanation of to lovely claim the 00 one so and accomplish lbnents why comfort should he suffer such jn^ ^ TIis friend to had bade to stand in hi* v* him make Ashe> hin^ afc out homeland from l,is he meant to try. e reserve the lady recfjv) gj^Lrilliant. instructions She from had evi¬ her dently U in her ,or the husband to <T P ower proper ent«rjf meut obey. of their 8 uest ’ and she was 0 When ihnfe wa s a hitch in ^bivereation, Fred proposed^ music, el asked him if he sung.

He with Ippel Lynde. He was charm by her s-^et voice; and she appear no less ejarmed by his surpassing ^ert hia they talked of Har- that he was true and noble. The first night in his friend’s home— yet Fred Farley found himself wish that his friend had never been—that a man as Harry Lynde had never : or, at least, had never appear ed in that section of country, ‘ Oh, if I could have found this sweet prize before Harry had ever known her ! Ah, Fred Farley, what are you doing ? Coveting your neighbor’s wife! and that neighbor your dearest friend and chum! I’m ashamed of you. Beware ! And so the smitten guest talked with himself until sleep closed his senses.— Then dreams came, and Isabel Lynde haunted his uneasy slumbers in all sorts of strange ways. In the morniug he arose and resolved that he would not expose himself to the danger which he could already foresee in a too free interchange of poetry and romance with his friend’s wife. But, alas ! for human resumptions when the erotic god has strung his bow, and set his dart. After breakfast, (and Isabel presided at the board with bewitching grace) the coachman came to see if Mr. Farley would ride. The morning was delightful, and the horses were in need of exercise. Yes. Mr. Farley would ride. But could he do less than ask Mrs. Lynde to accompany him ? He asked her, and assented with evident satisfaction, ‘ Harry bade me not lose sight of you, Mr. Farley ; and I suppose I must obey him.’ O! what a bewitching smile—what a wondrous depth of feeling in the brown eyes—and what music in the voice! Fred felt a pang at his heart— 8 glow through his whole frame, and he knew he had fallen in love! What should he do? He must fight against whi!e h « coul,J * Of all the companions who had ever shared his social hours Fred had never before found one like Isabel. (He cull ed ber so in his thoughts.) She was as and as witty, and as frank ai,J open-hearted as she was beautiful ; an< ^ inborn purity of her soul she never seemed to dream that harm could wmc of it to Harry’*, chum. ■ Three days p;***:.. iLaud a letter came from Harry say mg Jhat he had been obliged to go to Buffalo. One week more, and poor Fred was beeide himself with the ardent, all-pow erful and pervading passion that Imd possesed him. And this was not the worst. He was sure that Isabel loved him. He could oone^e not be mistaken. Her very efforts to emotion , her growing changing color timidity of her IjjK face reserve the droop- ; the ; ing of the silken lashes; the soft dot tering of the voice—ail, all told him that she loved him. ‘ () nee mot-.

He must rake the Albany boat when it came down. She was star tied ; and for a moment lost coutrol ot herself; but while Fred talked of busi¬ ness engagements she recovered her composure. But the remainder of the evening passed sad and gloomy to both. Fred was reticent and moody, while the lady was evidently far from being happy, I he morning came, and f red Farley and Isabel Lynde J stood in the parlor, a The carriage was at the door. . ‘ -rv Dear vr Mrs, Lynde, r i t I may never see you again.

A strange light flashed up and gleamed ° in her eyes ; her bosom heav. ed ; and presently tears crept out upon her cheek. * God bless you !’ cried Fred, pressing her hand to his lips in an impassioned manner. • Sweet peace be thine!— Thine be the victory—of—Lite—in faith and—love—and—’ He brokedown at this point. He knew that Isabel sobbed, and that she put forth her freed hands to ' ards him; but he dared not stop. The next he • the ccmc '’- wl,irl ;.'; g himself that he should never be happy again. O ! why had ho seen his friend’s wife? Why had he loved her ? Why had she loved him ? The Albany boat came to the land¬ ing, and the gang plank was thrown out, * Hallo, Fred ; how’s this ? Where you bound now ?’ ‘ Eh ! Harry !’ * Yes—come, come ; none of this, What does that portmanteau mean ; goodness mercy, you are not bound off? And just as I had promised Bella that she should become acquainted with my friend and paragon — my chum, my Fred !’ * Promised —Della P gasped Fred. ‘Yes—my wife. Here, my Bella, here is Mr. Farley, and I really believe he thinks of deserting.’ Fred looked, and beheld, by Harry’s side, a small, radiant, beautiful woman, who smiled upon him, and put out her hand aud said, ‘ Really, Mr. Farley, this is not friend iy—’ ‘ Hold on,’ interposed Harry. ‘I have a big authority by way of ownership over this boat.

It is but one of a thousand of the inci¬ dents iu the everyday actualities of life, which go to show the never dying devo* tion of the female heart, which ‘hope*' on-hopes-ever,' though the eyes that patiently watches for the loved form that they never may see, become dim by their ceaseless and patient vigils* and the ears that listen for that footstep which first sent a thrill of joy to the heart, that may never more be heard* may ache and throb with pain in the vain elfort to catch the gladsome sound.

Even now we are gliding swiftly past Doniphan, after having touched at the wharf to take in passengers. As wee paused pointed a momen fait r , a friend of inino nut a young girl, with sun¬ ny hair and rose-tinted cheeks, who leaned eagerly from a window, as if gazing intently for some one whom she anxiously expected. She saw none dis¬ \ others than the two or three who embarked, and then, with a look of un¬ utterable disappointment, she turned away and fled f rom sight. My friend told me that thus she had looked for days, and that the bloom was fading from her cheek and 1 the fight from her eye, with the passage of each b uit; that lie who n she loved went last year to the mountains, and promis¬ ed to return with the early spring; that others, all others, who departed about; that time had long since come back, bat no tidings had be^n received of him, and thus she felt the shock of each *ad disappointment. - Miss elected Emma Campbell, of Topeka, was enrolling clerk 0^ by ih^Kan¬ sas Legislature.
