Although I could never think of marrying a fool, or a man whose ugliness I should be ashamed.of still I think ono with ploidy of rnonoy would ho preferablo to liv ing obscurely with a handsome, intellectual man—to whom economy might be necessa ry” I do not know how much of this sentiment issued from Katie’s heart. She undoubied- ly indulged lofty ideas of station and style- hut that she was capable of aoopor, botter feelings- none doubted. At the ago of eighteen she had many sui tors. but as she nover gave a serious thought to uioro than two. wo will follow her exam ple. and discarding all except those favored .ones, consider tlioir redativo claims. Ifthiswcro any other then a true story, I should certainly use nn artist’s privilege, and aim to produce an effect by making a strong contrast between theso two favored individu als. If I Could have my way one should be a poor genius, and somewhat of a hero, tho other a wealthy fool, and somewhat of knave. • But tho truth is— Our poor gonitis was not much of a gonius nor very poor.

Ho.was certain Rhe preferred his society to that of Mr. Wellington whom alone he saw fit to honor with the apptdla- tion of rival. This Mr. Wellington (his- companion call ed him tho “duke,”’* was no idiot or hump- buck, as I could have wished him to be. in order to rauko a good story. On the .contrary, lie was a man of senso, uducatjon, good looks, and fine manners. Besides this his income wns sufficient to onablo him to live superbly. Also.’ho was considered two or threo degrees handsomer than Mr. F. Minot Therefore, tho only thing on which Frank lmd to depend, was the power ho possessed over Kntio.s sympathies and affections. The duke”—although just tho man for hor in every other sense, being blessed with a for' tune, good looks, and common sense—had never been able to draw theso out; and the amiable -conceited Mr. Frank was not wil ling to:boliovq that she would sufibr mere worldly considerations to control tho aspira tions of lior heart. •• However, sho said to him, ono day, when ho pressed her t0 decide lds fato \ “Oh, Frank I l cm sorr y that wo have over met!” v’'” “ Sorry V “ Yes—for wo must part now—” “ Part!”: repeated Frank .tlu nlng palo.
