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.

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- —I,aad “ the rosy moon was born rfnigRt’^’ £ :{r * $ * $ 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 “ Rftuisji shejoried, wffiiH not have Bwrt ycu forth eWorld® BuShe^iviis 'gone f jind she^flrcver again sta&ftis face. Max sat down beside her and gently wiped away the tears that sprang to her eyes. “ It is far better than to have married him, unloving, Eunice.

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 Clipper.
