THE GOVERNESS.
BY SAI.LU? THOMAS.
a
ft.
A fearfully cold, blustering day it
was, late in December, a time of unut
terable desolation to at least one that
stood alone at the door of her late homo
in the sweeping gale, as it dashed by,
almost freezing lie' - ,in its pitiless fury.
She looked up and down the l<Wg, de
serted street, that never looked more
dreary. Opposite, the doors*were all
closed, and in the rapidly gathering
twilight site saw the warm glow of the
fire, the ruddy light which had been
seemingly lighted to mock her own
cheerless lonosomoness. She thought
of tho time when, to her, work was a
dull, meaningless word, when a fond,
devoted father surrounded her with
every luxury, and she had scarcely a
care in the world; and now to-night
she was to leave her home, a poor girl,
to battle with the world. With a
shiv r, Irma Houghton turned away
from the dark sticets into the hall of
the elegant, empty house. In the silent
parlor, where the rich piper seemed to
mock the empty demolition, stood her
trunks packed, and marked ; and how
her lips trembled as she read. ‘’Miss
Houghton, Passenger, Colneytou.” So
it was there she was going. Two bun
•dred miles from home, and those whq,
had once professed to bo Iter friends,
but had suddenly forgotten her when
her father’s wealth had been swept
away, each, and every one, turning
coldly away, and leaving her to bow
her heavy burden alone.
She thought of her handsome lover.
Earnest Lowell, and wondered if lie,
too, would prove untrue; she recalled
his parting words, ‘ I will be true to
you, inv darling, let conic what tiny.”
It was those words that had aided her
to patiently bear poverty and face the
hardships of the world. A hired ve
hicle rolled up to the doer, and when
the driver had attended to her luggage,
Jie was whirled away. When she
reached the station house, she procured
her ticket and sat down thoughtfully.
Soon the long train catna in and Irina
took her seat, a few moments in ire, and
she had started ou the way to her des
tination. the home of a wealthy stranger,
as a governess for her children. It was
a long, lonely ride, and many tears
dampened her thick veil before she
arrived at Colneyton.
It was a clear bright morning, the
streets were swarming with life and
gaiety. She felt almost contented when
a respectful railway official tapped her
on the shoulder, and pointed to a wait
ing carriage: ‘‘The driver has been
asking for a young lady from D , I
believe you took the train there, Miss?'’
And, so she found herself in Mrs. Cald
well's carriage ; and later, in that lady’s
prc.'Cn66.
Mrs. Caldwell was a tall, stately lady,
who received her newly engaged gov
erness with a polite welcome that would
have gone straight to Irina’s heart, had
p.ot her pride been touched by the
young lady to whom Mrs. Caldwell in
troduced her.
“This is my daughter Claudia, Miss
Houghton.”
Irina acknowledged the presentation;
and if she was s'ung to the quiok by
the frigid hauteur of the beautiful girl,
Miss Caldwell was equally enraged by
Irma’s indifferent, graceful bow.
“Mamma,” she said, when Irma had
gone to her room, “shall you allow her
to mingle with our visitors? She is
much too elegant and aristocratic to
pass unnoticed among our company.”
“Why not. C audia? lam sure she
is a nice little tiling.”
“I know that, and pretty, too. I
wish you had selected a girl not so fair
mid proud,”
“Why y
“Because Jennie and May will be
putting on her fine airs next,”
TWO DOLLARS A YEAR, IN ADVANCE.
“We will not trouble ourselves about
that.”
• # • * * •
Day after day passed by. Irma
found her vocation more pleasant than
she had expected. She learned to love
her two little pupils dearly, hut the
scarcely evermiet Mrs. Caldwell’s step
daughter, Claudia, and when she did,
she was always greeted with the same
chilling and stately bow. It was late
one evening when Irma had been two
months there, that little May came into
the room and said :
“Miss Irma, mamma is going to have
a party to-night, and sister Claudia’s
beau is coming; and he is so handsome;
and I heard sister tell mama she was
going to marry him.”
“Who is he, May?”
“Mr. Earnest Lowell, and—Miss
Irma, are you going to faint.”
The child gazed with wonder at Irma’s
white face, as with a low rno.ni she sank
hack on the sufa.
“What is it ? May I call mamma ?”
“No, no, call no one ; there, leave me
now, please.”
Her voice wa? low and husky, and the
child, with a frightened face, obeyed.
“Oil, God, have mercy !” murmured
Inna. “Marry her! No, no—l can
not, will not believe it!”
For a long time she lay, heeding
nothing, still murmuring that loved
name. „
Suddenly Mm. 0 ill.veil entered.
“Irtua,” she said, “I wish you would
ernne down to-night; you are killing
yourself. C taut now, will you ?”
“Induid, Mrs. Caldwell, I cm not
to-night.”
“Yes, but you mii-t.”
“N ), T cut not. I thank you, but I
can not.”
“I wish you would. Bat my guests j
are .am ing; good-night.” Airs. Cald
well left the room.
A moment lat r there came a step
at the door. It was op mod by Miss
Claudia.
“Miss Houghton," she s lid, “you play,
I kno-.v. Our pianist has failed to come,
and as mamma has promised our guests
a dance, it, would be cruel to disappoint j
them. Will you not oblige mo by coming
to tho piano ?”
Her request was courteously enough
spoken, yet was equivalent to a com- !
maud, and, for a while, Irma resolved
not to go; then a wild yearning came
into her heart, to see, for herself, if it
really was Earnest, of whom May had
spoken.
“Ye--, X vvill go; and if it is Earnest,
God give me strength t.o bear it.”
With these words, Irma rose and, ,
glancing for a moment into her mirror,
left the room.
She entered the crowded parlor, and I
casting an inquiring glance around her,
she beheld Miss Claudia stauding in the ;
most prominent part of the room; a
handsome gentleman stood by her, but :
not Earnest. Irma gave a sigh of re- j
lief, and the words, “Thank God! A
dropped from her lips. The music lay
opou upon tho piano. Irina was pas
sionately fond of inusi \ und to-night'
she played with unusual skill. Wiion
she had finished tho first piece, she i
heard low voices near her.
“Do you know where Mrs. Caldwell
got her musician? Sh° plays well.”
“Yes; but she is only the children’s
governess, I think.”
The speakers passed on, hut tho
words had roused tho old feeling of
pride in Irma’s heart, and with a sad
; den impulse site dashed her hands aver
the keys, bringing forth such thrilling
: sounds ns to hush every voice in the
room. Jrma saw it, and dashed into a
waltz, which rang out like a silver bell.
When she had finished, she glanced
towards Miss Claudia, thon her oyes
; wandered away, with a heavy mist be
fore them, and a wild pulsation at her
heart, for there, by Claudia’s side stood
; Earnest Lowell. Her brilliant music
had attracted attention from all. Miss
Claudia saw it, and hated herself for
having brought her into notice, and
: with a haughty go.-turo site swept across
the room to Irma’s side, saying :
“Miss Houghton, you can go to your
| room ; you look ill.”
Irma understood her motives per
fectly, but she thanked her, for she
could no longer endure being in the
presence of Iter lover. S e left the
parlor and returned to her room, and
having fastened the door, threw herself
down on her bed with a wild, agoniz
j ”>g cry.
“Lost! lost to me forever ! and lam
• alone—alone !”
For hours she remained there, moan
l ing and sobbing ns if her very life was
! going from her.
The morning came. Irma arose pale
; and wan. She knew it would be loiil l
<ft
before any one else would be up in the
house.
“Oh, if I could breathe the pure,
sweet air in the conservatory ; it is stif
ling here.”
i She unlocked her door and went
down to the conservatory. Stopping over
a ro-e bush, she saw two tiny white
rose buds lying among the dirk, green
! leaves.
“Just like the ones he placed in my
hair so lone; ajro Dear Earnest. I must
never see him more.
At that moment she felt herself
1 clasped by strong arms, and the shriek
of afl'right she would .have uttered, was
1 smothered with a kiss. She heard a
; voice saying
“My darling, my Irma, I have found
Ism
For a moment she scarcely knew
where site was, only site knew it was
Earnest at 1 that he loved her.
“Oh Earnest,” she exclaimed, “I
thought you were to marry Miss Cald
well.”
•Irtua !” His voice was full of pained
surprise. “Did you think I would he
untrue to you? \ am going to marry
none but you. Can it be possible you
have ceased to care for me ?”
“No, no, not that, but T must pay
ray father’s debts first.”
“Irma, I have paid them, they were
not so great as you supposed.”
“And you have paid them all? Oh,
Earnest, how can I ever repay you?”
“By giving tnc your own priceless
self, Irma. I have bought your old
home; will you go with me there and
be tny wife ?”
That evening when Irma told Mrs
I Caldwell she was going a way, iu an
swer to that lady’s suprised enquiry as
to where, Earnest answered.
“She is going back to her old home,
as my wife, Mrs Caldwell.”
When Miss Claudia heard it she de
clared, “It was a pity he should throw
himself away on a poor governess.”
Irma now lives iu her old home, the
; old smile has returned to her face again.
There she and Earnest arc living to
! gather, happy in loving and being loved.

A CUNNING EXPEDIENT.
There is a fable among the Hindoos
that a thief having been detected and
condemned lo die, happily hit upon an
expedient which gave him hope of life,
lie sent for his gaoler, and told him
that he had t of great importance
which he desired to impart to the kiug,
and when that had bfcn done he would
be prepared to die. I pon receiving
this piece of intelligence the king at
onec ordered the culprit to be conduct
ed to his presence, and demanded of
him to know his secret. The tiiief re
plied that he knew the secret of caus
ing trees to grow which would hear
fruit of pure gold. The experiment
might be easily tried, and his majesty
would not lose the opportunity; so ac
companied by his prime minister, bis
courtiers, and Lis chief priest, ho went
with the thief to a spot selected near
the city wall, where the latter perform
ed a series of solemn incantations. This
done, the condemned man produced a
piece of gold, and declared that if it
should he planted, it would produce a
tree every branch of which would bear
gold.
“But,” he added, “this must be put
into the ground by a hand thathas never
been unclean, therefore I pass it to your
majesty.”
The king took the pieco of gold, but
hesitated. Finally he said: “I re
member in my younger days that I of
ten filched money from my father’s
treasury which was not mine. I have
repented of the sin, but yet I hardly
dare say my hand is clean. I pass it,
therefore, to my prime minister.”
The latter, after a brief consideration,
answered: “It were a pity to break
the charm through a possible blunder.
I receive taxes from the people, and as
T am expose i to many temptations, how
can I he sure that I have remained per
fectly honest V I must, leave it to the
governor of our citadel.”
“No, no,” cried the governor, draw
ing back. “Remember that I have the
serving out of pay and previsions to tho
soldiers. Let the high priest plant it"
And the priest said, “You forgot ■
I have the collecting of tithe?, and the
distribution for sacrifice.”
At length the tiiief exelamod ; “Your
majesty, I think it were belter for so
ciety that all five of us should be hung <
since it appears that not an honest man
can he found among us.”
In spite of the lamentable exposure,
the King laughed ; and so pleased was
lie wrtlt the thief’s cunning expedient
that he granted him a pardon.
Marvel of Sorgrry.— The 13 lti
more Sun, in reporting the proceedines
of the Medical and Chirurgical Society,
describes the subjoined case .'
The patient who was exhibited to the
Society had had both the lids of the loft
eye diseased for twi fy-seven years
with wliat had been called cancer by
many surgeons. To remove the entira
disease, both lids, as well as the skin
from the side of the nose, lmd to be re
moved, leaving tho left eye, {his only
good one), exposed in a frightful gap.
To protect tho eye, and at the same
time to remove the hideous conformity,
Prof. Chisolm undertook tho delicate
surgical operation of manufacturing two
lids—the upper lid from the skin of tho
forehead, and tho lower lid from the
skin of the cheek. So very successfully
had this been accomplished that it re
quired very close observation to detect
the difference between the left side of
tho face with the mmufiotured lids, and
the right side with the lids that nature
had made. The ease bad been a very
satisfactory one to both surgeon and
