AFTER LONG YEARp. * 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.

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 now f It that letter was before you, what would be yoqr answer* Tell me, dearest. I love you as foadly as ever.

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, i “I knew how it would be l” 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 ous themes on which poets and novelists of all ages have delight ed to dwell; but the beauty of 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 ures attractive ia both vexes Cleanliness is necessary above altfe things in the preservation of the teeth; but yet, over-afskluoua nessia their care ofUjljttifeats the eud which is aiaoiea at. Ilany tooth-powders, ta which acids or hnends are incorporated, may whiten the teeth fur a time - y hat toe frequent a use of them woald only hasten destruction. Indeed, tooth-powders should always be used with caution. Preservatives, in a liquid form, are preferable to aoy other, and if these have a vegetable basis, nothing can he better. Among these later, none will be found more efficacious I ihau the exquisite toilet requisite ’ VOL VII. fiO. 19. called “Fragrant Fforiiine.” It has bees analyzed by the most eminent physician., ami declared perfectly free from all corrosive oririfating mgredScptt, "A"few drops bn a wet tooth-brush pro doce a delightful foam, #hich cleanses the teeth from all im purities, sweetens the breath, hardens the gums, and arrests the progress of decay. This, it must be admitted, is the great aim to be arrived at; and in this respect, the Plorifine has already became a great and deserved fa vorite. ** 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. “Hot Yet" '•Not yet* Mid ■ Httle boy. “-When I grow older I will think :te^u lß ,o U „ sra .„.
