*
Hartland House was a sumrrife
retreat jqLjl. .wall,known auttJSjj
whose pretty little wife was le
of the most dislinguished of m&
et arlisls. Every one likedjlo
go there. Every one was eaflK
to visit there.
Every one did I say ?
there were two people on eap
to whom the, very thought M
that lovely place was an agony
and a pain ! fe
One was llie Reverend Aqf>i,
Poarerscnurt, the most popular
preacher of the day; a scholar,' a
gentleman, arid a (avorite with
all who knew him. In public he
was attentive and courteous loWlf
—but he eschewed society. He
never visited ladies, and he did
not go to Hartland House.
The other person to whom Ire
fer had been a beauty and a belle
ten years before the opening of
my story. She was a handsome
woman still, and, as yet, unmar
ried, which was entirely her own
fault. She was Evangeline Parke
the only sister of Mrs. Hartland ;
and that lady contrived a dinner
parly lo which Mr. Powersconrt
was invited.
Seven o’clock came, and the
invited guests were grouped in
the pretty drawing-room at Hart
land House. Evangeline, look
ing very pale, but beautiful, in
her evening dress of wb*tm> silk,
with a cluster of crimson s roses
in her jetty hair, stood neir the
open window, talking to several
of her old friends, when the last
comer was announced. It was
the Kev, Abel Powerscourt, a lit
tie too late.
“So glad to see you here! said
Mrs. Hartlaud, with a beaming
smile. “Evangeline, my dearl”
Mr. Powerscourt started vio
lently as he heard that name.
The little lady looked up at him.
The blood rushed to his brow,and
then recednd, leaving him deadly
pale.
“Eva, dear,” said the mischiev
ous little hostess, “Mr. Powers-
court will give yon hit arm. You
cati renew yonr old acquaintance
while we are at dinner.”
Keiflter of the two tpoke, or
looked at each other. The gen
tleman offered hi* arm: the lady
resfed the tips of her fingers up
on it, and So they fell info the
procession, tinnoliced except
Mrs. HarMaml and her husband,
who g*ye each other a rogtaab
glance as (hey passed by.
The moment the ladies left the
dining-room, Evangeline manag
ed to esirape frorft them * und,
hastening iniolhe conservatory,
she sank down upon a seat be
neath the sheltering branches of
an orange Iree, and hiding Iter
face in her hands, began to take
herself the task for her weak
ness.
Some time passed away. Grown
calmer at last, she rose to rejoin
the company in the diawing
room. But there before her
stood the Reverend Abel Pow
erscourt, the usual grave com
posure of his manner entireiy
gone, as with eager, glance and
outstretched hand he arrested
her departure.
“Ono moment,” he said, in a
low agitated voice. '‘Had 1
known of your return from Italy
—had I dreamed that I should
meet you here—l would not hav*-
conte to-day’ But, since we
have met, may I ask, and will
you answer, one question f v
“W hat is it P’ she asked, coldly.
“Ten years ago i loved y#u. i
love you still, if that is all. But
ten years ago I dared to tell you
■aft, as 4 should hardly vaatoe to
do so to-day. Why did you give

“To your most intimate friend,
Mis 6 Grayson, who pToiniaed to
give it to you within the hour.
To that letter you returned no
answer. I waited ten days. And
then I heard that you had gone
on the continent with Sir Wil
liam and Ladv Maitlend, and
that you might be years abroad.
Was this kind ? Surely ’’
‘Oh!” she cried, loooking at
him with a heavy smile. “I
would have answered your letter,
but it never reached me.”*
“WhatT”
“I never saw it—it was never
given to me! 1 never knew that
it had been written until thia
moment!”
“ Miss Parke !”
He stood a moment, lost in ut
ter astonishment. And lh e n
certain looks, and words, and
touea on the part of ansther lady,
daring the cast ten yfears, flashed
snddenlv across his memory. A
hot flush rose to his brow. He
took a step forward, and caught
the tair hand that was not drawn
away.
“Evangeline, 1 see it all.
Through the treachery of an art
ful and designing woman, 1 have
suffered miseranly for Lou long
years. Will you not reward mo

But when the reconciled lov
ers came out into the common
world once more, she stole up I
behind her stately sister, and
whispered, with a saurcy smile,

Evangeline kissed her by way
of reply. And the lier. Abel and
his wife are among the happiest
of'mortals.
WHERE AH I GOING?
One summer eveniajr as the
sun was gomg down a man wee
seen trying to matte his wgy
through 1 he lanes and cross-roads
that led to bis villege home. His
unsteady way of walking showed
that he had been and linking; and
though be had lived in that vil
lage more than thirty years, he
was now so drunk that it was im
possible for him to find bis way
home. Quite unable to tell
where he was he at last ottered a
dreadful oath, and said to a per
son going by, “I’ve lost mv way.
Where am i going?”
The man thus addressed was
an earnest Christian. He knew
the poor drunkard very well, and
pitied him greatly. When he
heard the inquiry, “Where am 1
going F* in a quiet, sad, solemn
way, he answered : “To ruin P
The poor staggering man start
ed ht liim wildly for a moment,
and then murmured with a groan,
“That’s so.**
“Come with nie.”said the other,
kindly, “and I will take you
home.”
The next day came. The effect
of drink had passed away, bat
those two liule words, tenderly
and lovingly spoken to him, did
not oass away. “To ruin! to
ruin I” he kept whispering to
Itimself. “It’s true I’m going lo
ruinl O God, help me, save me!”
Thus he was stopped on his
way to ruin. By earnest prayer
to God he sought the grace which
made him a true Ghrtst-ian. His
feel were established on the Rock
It was a rock broad enough to
reach that poor misguided drunk,
ard, and made a useful, happy
man of him.
THE TEETH.
The beauty of the eyes and the
teeth have ever been the rapur

novelists of all ages have delight

the eyes would be last wit beat
the teeth, whereas a good set of
the latter, without the sparkle ot
the eye, always renders the feat

Modes of Coartaliip.
Taking it for granted that dec
laration of the sentiment of love
is a privilege of the men, found
ed on natore and sanctioned by
custom, the various modes of
making their declaration by
them, and of accepting or retus—
ing it by the women, were we
able to give a perfect account ot
it, would make one of the most
cortoos and entertaining parts of
human bwtory, an# equally fur
nrife matter of speculation far the
intelligent lady an# the pfcfe.
losopher. It ia taken as a geuer
almle that the declaration of
love is the peculiar privilege of
the men ; but as all general rales
ere liable to exception, there are
also a few to this. An IsraeliUsh
widow had, by law, a power of
claiming in marriage the brother
of her deceased husband, in
which case, as the privilege of
the male was transferred to the
female, that of the female was
likewise transferred to the male :
he had the Dower of refusing; the
refusal, however was attended
with some mortifying circum
stances: the woman whom he
had thus slighted was to come
unlo him, in the presence of the
elders of the efty, and to loose
the shoe from his foot and spit in
his face.
To man, by nature bold and
intrepid, and invested with un
limited power of asking, a refu
sal was of little consequence ; but
tft Woman, more timid and mod
est, and whose power of asking
was limited to the brethren of
her deceased husband, it was not
only an affront, but a real injury
as every one would therefore de
spise the woman, so that she
could have but little chance of a
future husband; hence, perhaps,
it was thought necessary to fix
some public stigma on the per
son who was so ungallant as not
to comply with the addresses of a
woman.
A custom somewhat similar to
this remains at present among
some of the Indian tribes, par
ticularly the Huronsand Iroquois.
When a wife dies, the husband is
obliged to marry the sister, or, in
her stead, the woman whom the
family of the deceased wife shall
choose for him. A widow is also
obliged to marry one of the
brothers of the deceased hus
band.— Ex.
