A EARNING.
BY CATHARINE HENNESSEY.
[From tiie Sunny SontH.]
“lieware «>f Mask'Diiripar; he is
engaged to Miss Er.iott* Tajte tlie
a«l vice of “A Fi:ikm»^
Eunice Vincent s:it willutlic anony-
. otons note open in her hand. “Can
it he possible,” she thought, “ that
this is- true ? Ami only last night—
only last night, he tohl me I was all
in the world to him, ami asked me to
he his wile; ami 1 promised to tell
Him to-morrow night ?” Slie leaned
her <hce on the whitlow-sill and wept
Years of vexation. “Surely it cannot
he true; he is nolile and good, and
lids is rome idle persm wishing to do
me harm I will goto Mrs. Arnold’s;
slie always knows ilu* last gossip.”
She tied j n her broad-brimmed
hatband stepped out into the little
ciiiceoverod porih and across the
way t'sJCrs. Arnold’s.
“ 3L-t lemoiselle will find Madame
in her chamber,’’ said the French
axvd, as slie led the way up the nar
row'flight of stairs.
Mrs. Arnold was lying oil the
Touch’ ily i\W open window, fanning
rigwrouslv.
u All, AIiss Vincent,” she cried ;
* I am delighted to sec you. Do sit
(Town, llorlense, take my braid out
of that chair. Intense 1 )’ hot for
Scotland, and so very disagreeable
(ti -he cooped up in such a small room
but yoi* know I had to lake any ac
commodations I could get. Do you
not think it strange, my dear, that
tin* small place should lie so crowd-,
odli Have you been out t is morn
ing
Hinwirv replied that slu* bad not.
“ I vu-nt tor a short walk, but it
was so dull and dii-lv I had to return
almost immediately, Bv-ttie-by, have
nauibciril tlie news? I suppose you
Ji ve, however. 1 met Miss Mail-
laud, this morning, aiid asked if the
report were true concerning Belle
Elliott. She bridled tip and sai I l.Vr J
jieu<i-did not confide’ll her. Wheth
er she v. o.’ild acknowledge it or rot,
IknowlIcUti- - ElU(>Vt»is-engagci l Ht i
Max Dnnhar. Everybody knows it.
Why, child, how pale you are!
Come,, Horlcnse—come quick—Miss
Vincent is going to (hint!’’
“ Indeed, I do not feel at all badly,”
asserted. Eunice. “ I suppose the
warm weather makes me weak. I
cam« over to see if yon would take a
Boons in our cottage. I expect to
leave to morrow morning ?”
u Am ever so much obliged for
your consideration, but I am sorry to
lose you. Where are you going?’’
“Uncle Charles wrote yesterday
50 know when 1 would be with him
51 London. He is to take me over
She (continent. I am tired of Scot-
iiin.T, and think I will go to-morrow
with Mrs. Clarke. Mama and Frank
*31 follow later. Good morning;
1 will see you this evening.’’
She reached her own gate, and as
abe stood with her arm leaning on the
Utile railing, gazing at the tall inonn-
Sains rearing their peaks against the
Miininer sky, Tennyson’s lines forced
themselves into her mind :
“-Am E mad thu*. I should cherish •
Tlifflt which hears but latter fruit ?
J will pluck it from my bosom,
Yho’ my heart be at the root.”
Glancing down the little streets
she saw two persons coming slowly
along: There could he no mistake,
it was Max Dunbar and Belle Elliott
He was gazing into her face intently,
Ssfenrtig eagerly to wliat she was
Btying, while she occasionally lifted
her dark eyes to his. Eunice clenched
&er hand and turned quickly into the
House.. “ I will out-wit him,” she
murmured. “ Mama, Mrs. Clarke is
going.to London to-morrow, and I
air to leave with her.”
“ Why, child, your uncle won’t
know you are coming.’’
•That does not matter. It is the
best opportunity I will have. Frank
and yourself can follow’ when you
'trill.*'*
H.ow slowly the day passed l At
jbst the son sank behind the purple
peaks, twilight deepened into dark-

Mrs. Vincent’s drawing-rooms were
ded. It was the first reception
she had given since her return from
Europe. Eunice stood alone in the
conservatory. Louis Devaux had
gone for her fan. Her bauds were
claspetj before her, and her oyes wild
and fixed. She had seen him—yes,
seen Max Dunbar. She' nnd looked
up and seen those dai k. sweet eyes,
and they were resting on her face.
A little while she stood thus, and then
she heard a footstep elose behind her,
and her name called softly, almost in
a whisper. Turning, she saw Max
Dnnhar standing beside Tier.
“ Have you no welcome for me,
Eunice ?’’ lie asked.
Eunice shivered. She had regained
her composure now and would re
ceive him as he deserved she thought.
“ Ah, Mr. Dunbar, you surprised
me. It has been so long since we
met, I may be pardoned for forget
ting your face.”
She extended the little gloved
hand, which he held within his
own.
“ Miss Vincent, will you spare me
a few moments that I may try and
justify myself in your—”
“ Really, Mr. Dunbar, I don’t know
to what you refer,” she interrupted,
but she blushed painfully beneath his
gaze, and sat down as be requested,
listening eagerly to what he said.
“ Eunice, I want your forgiveness
for having judged you cruelly and
harshly for two long years—years
that might have been spent in your
sweet society. Probably you re
member I asked you to he my wife—
if you had forgolton my face,” he
added, bitterly, “\ou told me to
come in two days and yon would tell
me. I went; you were not there;
you had gone on the Continent.
You bad lett me without one word,
one line. Do you wonder that I
thought you cruel and heartless?
I left Scotland nnd tried to find you.
It was no easy matter. I saw you
once in Rome; it was in a dense
crowd and I could not get to you.
The next day I was taken ill and
remained so many mouths. When I \
recovered I determined never to try I
t* sec you again. .Two months ago, '
whert- itt Paris, a messenger * came
to me saying, that Miss Elliott had
been thrown from her carriage the
day before and was severe!) injured.
She wished to see me. 1 went im
mediately, and when I saw her she
was nearly gone. She called me to
her and whispered in my ear that she
had been the cause of your treatment
of me. She said she had written an
anonymous note to you and warned
you saying that I was engaged to her
She said she had bitterly repented of
having done it, nnd hoped 1 would
forgive her. She did not omit to
express a desire that the wrong she
had done might he repaired.”
He paused. She did not speak.
“ Eunice, I have come to offer you
my heart once more. It l as always
been yours. Look up, sweet, and
tell me I may hope.”
“It is too late,” she murmured,
with a stifled sigh.
She had risen from her seat, and
was standing cold and still before
him.
“ Eunice!’’ he cried, seizing her
hands, “ unsay those cruel words,
and tell me you ■”
“Hush!” she cried. “Why can
yon not pity me and leave me in
peace? I am to be married next
month.” %
He dropped lier bands and started
a* if he had been stung.
“Why did yon come to make me
miserable—to make what would have
been a peaceful union a gulfing
chain ?”
She sunk in her seat nnd buried
her face in her hands. He lifted her
head gently, and turned the fair face
with its erotvn of golden hair up to
his.
“ Eunice,’’ he whispered, “ if that
is true, is it then too late ?”
She started. Louis Devaux stood
before them, her fan in his hand.
He advanced nnd spoke slowly and
distinctly, with suppressed pain and
anger in his voice:
“ Miss Vincent, I have had the
mis—the advantage of overhearing
i rour conversation. It is not too
ate. I release yoa from a bond
which would be bat a galling chain,
and wish you well.”
“ He jaid her fan in her lap, and
raising her gloved hand to his lips
wi.h characteristic grata*, turning,
walked off amoiig the Abate

beside her and gently wiped away
the tears that sprang to her eyes.
“ It is far better than to have

No warning comes between.” : , tji
She laid her hand in his and twWpicH
her face to him, blushing ,i\nd,Siu;Uog-
through her tears.* ;

Sabbath morning afforded a favor
able opportunity for ajarge congre
gation to assemble to bear brother
Monday preach, and it need scarcely
be added that the opportunity was
handsomely responded to from almost
every direction. By ctosc packing,
nearly all the congregation were
seated. Then opened a most inter
esting service, the result of which, it
is hoped, has paved the way for a
large ingathering of simls. Brother
Monday was greatly inspired by the
occasion, and bis sermon fell with
"real power upon the ears ami hearts
of his audience. Quite a number rose
for prayer, and shower*, of tears fell
from the ey»s of both Christians and
inquirers. ..
An amusing incident occurred at
the close of the service. « While
brother Monday was preaching, a
young man somewhere Tin the cou-
gregatio > misbehaved. Brother il.
related the story of the pfuachcr who
reproved an idiot, and then quietly
went on. As the congregation be
gan to leave the house after preach
ing, brother 3Iunday revived a do],
lar s lit l y a man with an explanation
that it was contributed lor the amia
ble manner in whiCpiicl^&tifc'ed t^hat
disturber.
We are glad to find that brother
Munday is becoming quite an object
of interest and appreciation in our
section. The churches' everywhere
are calling for his services and quite
an enthusiasm is awakening to raise
an amount sufficient to send him back
to the seminary next fall. Brother
Jennings is taking an active interest
in the matter.
There is one other thing that struck
onr attention with considerable force
on last Sabbath. Mrs. M”nday, at
the solicitations of friends, is accom
panying her husband. She is quite
attractive, and though youthful, be
haves herself with becoming dignity
that might be well for some others of
more mature years to imitate. The
circumstances to which we refer, was
the warm reception and greeting she
received by the sisterhood of Elim
church. This is often overlooked.
While a minister may have showers
of compliments poured upon and
great attention paid him, his wife has
to look out for herself. Sister Mon
day's face was sooti lit up with an
expression showing that she felt she
was not regarded as an inferior—on
the contrary, she seemed to feel that
she had found warm hearted friends.
God grant that the ultimate wishes
of this young brother and his fair
companion may be realized before his
summer vacation expires.
We regret, however, to pee our
brother showing symptoms of pros
tration. He has preached so contin
uously for several months and with
so much untiring zeal, that his whole
body is suffering greatly from nervous
attacks. About two hundred con
versions have crowned his labo s
since last February. He needs rest,
and it would be best that the work
for his return to the seminary could
be carried on without much addi
tional labor on his part.— Warrenton
