f °She arose and left him and joined again in
the dance. As she was going Harry made a
motion as if he would stop her, but sank back
to a sitting position and bowed his head up
on Ibis hands, and tried to think, as well as
the blood bounding in his veins under the im
pulse of strong drink, would allow—tried to
think this had been some dream and that he
had misunderstood its baleful import. He sat
there long in silence and wood Bred how tb6
dancers could whirl so thoughtlessly through
the giddy mazes of the waltz when so much
misery was so near them.
He heard his Dame called loudly several times
but he did not heed or answer, for his soul was
full of bitter thoughts. Presently Stacy broke
in to where he sat and jocularly exclaimed:
•Come on, old fellow, I,ve been looking for
you for half an hour at least.
J Harry did not notice him and he continued
impatiently:
•Wnat are you looking so hard at that figure
on the carpet for? Are you going to sit there
forever!’ , .
•Forever, that’s the word Stacy,‘ answered
Harry, now looking up for the first time, in a
dull and absent manner. ‘That’s a long time,
isn't it Henry. , ,
‘Yes, the very devil of a long time, respond
ed Stacy who had seen Miss Devon a moment
ago ohatting and laughing gaily, and did not
imagine anything had occurred between them.
•Yon will get pretty tired, won’t you?*
Mr. Stacy thought his friend’s words had ref
erence to his gazing at the carpet, and was con
siderably puzzled thereat.
•Yes, very tired,* answered Harry wearily.
•Ob, Stacy, I am sick to-night! Don't jest at me
that way. ‘ ' _ '
His faculties were so far obscured that he en
tertained the idea that every one was conscious
of all that happened.
‘So I should think,‘responded Mr. Stacy. ‘It
is getting about time you should be sick. I
thought you were drinking too much. You
had better take an emetic and throw it up. It’s
terrible when yon are getting over it. ‘
Here some one called him and he darted away.
Harry also arose and left the room; but he was
not seen any more at Mr. Ethmer's that night.
Ordering his horses, he drove back slowly and
mechanically to Bonnie Doon. Here, after
throwing his bridle-reins over the gatepost
he entered his room and flung himself wear
ily upon a bed.
Let not Miss Devon be rashly blamed for
what she had done. It was not done without
dne forethought
She had known from the bitterness of early
life that it is better, far better, that a woman,
ere she takes that solemn step that binds her
forever to the man of her choice, should part be
forehand with him, than live on to see him reel
ing in the brutishness of intoxication, making
wretched a heart that, under different circum
stances, might have had many a pleasure which
it must now hope never to experience. Do
not say, ‘marry and reform him, • however gen
erous, however noble-hearted he may be. A
woman makes the saddest ot all her mistakes in
life when she imagines she can reform as a hus
band the man she could not restrain as a lover.
Her empire over him is most complete ere the
marriage rite has been performed. If there is
any sacrifice he will make, if there is any incli
nation he will conquer or subdue, he will make
or do it ere he has claimed her hand at the
bridal altar. The familiarty of married life is
the iconoclast at whose disenchanting touch the
idol of the first holy passion crumbles into
nothingness. Better then is the disappointed
love of youth than the broken heart of a drunk
ard's wife.
To do Miss Devon still farther justice, this, as
she so plainly and painfully intimated, was no
lover's quarrel, proverbial for being the renewal
of love. It was no momentary caprice—no half
intended dismissal with the almost certain hope
of speedy reconciliation. It was a sad farewell
and surrendering up of all that had made life
bright to her. She had dimly conjectured it
long before, bnt had fondly hoped it might
not be, for she fain wonld linger a little longer
though in uncertainty, amid the dreams of a
first true love. She had hoped against hope
sadly- Lad sadly borne up against every fresh
instance of her lover's indiscretion, bnt this was
the crowning one and bad confirmed her waver-
resolntion. Bet now she tried to forget, in the
excitement of the dance, all thought of what had
been done, and for a while she was the gayest
of the gay—the nsnal resort of those who wonld
lighten the burden of a heavy heart Snch a
thing bad been tried undoubtedly some thou
sands of times before, and perhaps never yet al
together had succeeded.
Corinne whose delioate health and sedentary,
or, rather, reenmbent habits and inclinations
never permitted her to indulge in anything like
continued exertion, danced but little, and sat
at this time talking in her listless, desultory
manner to a fleshy pompous old gentleman well-
known to be the owner of more dry-goods es
tablishments and houses and lots in town than
could quite fall to the share of any particular
individual should the communistic plan of
equitable division prevail. Mr. Glenville, who
had been her constant and most devoted attend
ant for the last three hours, having provided
her with a companion, whom he took care
should be an old man, was taking his turn
among the dancers. He was a prudent man.
Even when his prey seemed in his very grasp
he was full of precaution. Not that he thought
Corinne so charming and fascinating as to attract
a dangerous rival. But he knew well the fickle
ness of her nature, and the glittering prize of
Delamere might induce fortune-hunters to try gentleman became incoherent and oon fused,

their hands. ” Another one of Corinne’s peculi
arities was a very decided and exclusive prefer
ence for the society of wealthy people. But in
strict justice to her it must be said that Mr.
Glenville was not of that happy class. How,
without the almost indispensable adjunct of
wealth he had obtained his ascendency over her
is one of those mysteries which are happening
around us daily in this busy world we live in.
•Who is that handsome young man over there
opposite us?’ asked the fleshy, pompous old
gentleman of Corinne—‘the one with the classic
face, I mean, who is leaning over to say some
thing to the young lady—Miss Ethmer I be-
lieve? , ,
•O that is Eryc Delamere,—a relation of
mine,’ answered Corinne with nonchalance.
She was both flattered and displeased at the com
ment of the old gentleman—flattered at the
praise that had been bestowed upon a Delamere,
for she was full of family pride and imagined
that the compliment rebounded in no small de
gree upon herself in virtue of her name, and
displeased because it had been Eryc who had
called the encominm forth.
'I should like to know him’ continued the
fleshy, pompous old gentleman ;' I like his face.’
‘I will call him over if you wish,’ returned
Corinne endeavoring to appear complacent and
obliging, while in reality, it secretly grieved
her to see Eryc enjoying the smiles of Diana
which she thought belonged by right ol first
claim to herself.
•No how' said the fleshy, pompous old gentle
man discreetly. ‘Some other time will be more
propitous, inasmuch as the young gentleman
seems better satisfied with his present position
than he conld be here. ’
In the mean time the unconscious subject of
the foregoing conversation and well-merited
enlogy had said the ‘something,’ above-referred
to, to Diana, and she had arisen and taken his
arm and they walked out upon the verandah in
front, ignorant alike of the eulogisers and the
eulogy. Poor Eryc! How vain, how impotent
now that rash and ill-timed resolution never to
see her more ! We are all, to a certain degree, if
not to the very last degree, the sport of circum
stances. How little did he know what the
events of that night would be when he had set
out from Delamere—nay, even when he left
that room in which he was gaining golden
opinions from the fleshy, pompous old gentle
man !
Softly the moonlight fell upon the earth with
out, and bathed almost in the light of day the
snow-white pillars of the colouade. Ten thou
sand insects sang merrily around, and the
music swelled out sweetly from within. Just
where the green ivy clung stoutly to the trellis
work to the east was a little rustic bench, upon
which after a short promenade they were seated.
To Eryc it was a happy dream, for he had
thrown off all the reserve wherewith he usually
met Diana, and now spoke freely and unre
strainedly, as if that same obvious oft-seen
gnlf. which poverty had stretched between
them and which he had more than once be
wailed before, had been snddenly spanned with
an a^ph of love—a Cupid’s bow perhaps,—but
such a bridge was too airy and unsubstantial to
bear the passage of material bodies. He spoke
to her all that he had felt for her in his heart so
long, and the time, the place, his companion all
tended to give feeling to hi3 words. When he
ceased speaking and looked at the lair young
face in the moonlight beside him lit up with a
light by far more radiant than that of the Queen
of Night, he read an answer on it that seemed
then stronger than a thousand affirmations, and
he pressed the dainty head to his bosom, and
imprinted on the rich, ripe lips the burning,
yet tender kiss of a holy passion.,
She had listened to his words in silence, anil and equal; 6 all his functions are in
had submitted to bis caress without a word or ^ hi h{gt or< j er; he assumes mastery over his
gesture of dissent, bat now she put him away b inesfJ . builds up a competence on the foun-
from her hastily, and said in a voice that “P - v ■
trembled with some emotion he knew not what—
‘Oh, I cannot, dare not permit this!’
They were simplo words and spoken some
what too late, Heaven knows, for it had besn all
done before they were uttered, bnt, on Eryc s
heart they smote like dagger-3tafcs though her
tones seemed fall of tenderness and grief. At
this instant, when she had arisen as if to leave
him, footfalls were heard approaching, and
colonel Fenton slowly passed opposite them.
Then seeing Diana he started toward them and
said :
•Good evening ; I hope I do not intrude.’
Diana involuntarily drew near to Eryc again
and laid her hand upon his arm, as if frightened,
but quickly withdrew it. He would fun have
had Colonel Fenton appear an infinite number
of times if like results were always to follow*
bat the latter after starting toward Diana as if
to sit down by her, saw she was not alone,
passed them and went within. Diana now
signified her desire to return again to the par
lor, and Eryc, with a bitterness to which all
the other bitterness he had ever felt were slight,
arose, gave her his arm and followed Colonel
Fenton. Before they got in where the lamplight
conld fall npon them she dropped his arm ner
vously and walked by his side. For an expla
nation of her coDdnct he sought through, when
alone, a whole Dead Sea of speculation and
conjecture—a sea as bitter to his soul as to the
taste the foal waters of the Asphaltites. His
repulse he was inclined to attribnte to the un
timely intrusion of Colonel Fenton, whom he
supposed that she was affianced to him—that
she was an uncommonly shrewd and cruel flirt
—anything but the right thing. In sober
trnth, however, Diana's conduct was owing
solely to a little interview that had past that
morning between herself and her father. The
latter had sent for her, and when she entered
his room he calmly reqnested her to be seated.
This request being silently complied with, ha
proceeded to say ominonsly.
•I wish to speak to you to-day upon an im
portant snbjeot Diana.’
Diana signified her willingness to be spoken
to, especially as the subject was important, and
Mr. Ethmer continued striking ont bluntly and
without prelude—‘As you well know, Diana,
Colonel Fenton was here yesterday. What he
said to you and npon what subject i do not
know.’ Here he looked keenly at her blnshing
face. It was his serntinizing. insinuating,
glance that flashed it, bat he did not so infer,
and went on accordingly.
•I know however, what he said to me, and I
wish to speak to you about the same thing, for,
as I said before it is an important subject.
Yon understand me I suppose?’
Diana who by this time had imbibed some
adequate idea of the fearful ‘importance’ of the
subject, tremblingly answered ‘Yes, Sir,’ and
then held her peace. Mr. Ethmer still con
tinued.
•Now while I do not wish to dictate to yon,
Diana, in affairs of the heart, as the phrase
goes, still I wonld recommend to you the gen
tleman we are speaking about. I do not care if
yon are so inclined you can choose yonr own
programme. I give yon your choice, and will
leave yon peifeotly free.’
Diana conld not see much freedom of choice
just here where her programme’ was narrowed
down to one stragbt and narrow road, from
which, as from the moral one, she felt that it
might be tempting sometimes to stray. So she
made no reply and her father, taking her silence
as bnt a farther evidence of her willingness to
be spoken to, again proceeded.
•I am glad my child to see that yonr choice
coincides with my own, for I feared it might be
otherwise. I feared from the frequency with
which I have seen yon in the company of a cer-
1 tain young man that’—and here the worthy old
gwuiitwuiau uopauaw -
and pansed as if to search out some smtable ex
pression for his thoughts.
‘What is it you wish to say father ? asked
Diana nervously, summoning up courage to
speak after being silent so long.
‘I merely wish to warn yon’ replied Mr. Eth
mer more decisively, ‘or rather, to sp°ak more
plainty, I wish to make it as a request of you that
you will discourage and discountenance the at
tentions of young Delamere. He is a fortune
banter and seeks your money and not yonr
love. I have been told that he has designs upon
you, and I give you timely notice of it, so that
you may be on yonr gnard. For his ancle’s
sake he may continue to visit here, but I advise
you to receive him coldly, and if you value my
authority or requests you will do so.’
Here was some more freedom of choice.
Diana remained silent with her faoe tnrned
resolutely from the searching gaze that was lev
eled at her.
‘I have said it where it could reach his ears,’
Mr. Ethmer continued ‘that should a daughter
of mine marry without my consent, she is no
longer my child, and that I would disinherit
her—and I did and do mean 6very word I ut
tered.’
His words were harsh and decisive and fell np
on her ears as the sentence of condemnation
falls upon the convicted criminal ‘You may go
now’ said Mr. Ethnic* in conclusion after a
pause in which^.'/Tiad waited for some reply
‘You underatand v me?
‘Yes sir.’
‘You will obey me ?’
‘Yes eir,’
Diana retired to her room where she threw
herself into a ohair and leaning her head upon
a table gave vent to her feelings in a flood of
bitter tears. But when she remembered her
real situation— that sho had not been forced to
give up anything, that Eryc had never spoken
of love to her in his life,—she turned to the
never-failing resource of womanly pride, dried
up her tears, and tried to think she had not
committed herself, and had not promised any
thing which she would not have done of her
own free will, had she been permitted, uninter
fered with, to carry out her own private incli
nations. Hence it was that, though in the
delicious moment of love’s sweet revelation she
forgot for a while the barrier that lay between
them, even by her recently extorted promise,
ihe recollection of it soon returned, and caused
toward Eryc her strange inexplicable conduct.
The latter, at one moment, bitterly condemned
her as a jilt, at another he remembered with a
thrill of sweet, triumphant joy that her beauti-
fal head had willingly rested upon his bosom
and that he had pressed unforb’dden to his own
her vermilioned lips. He endeavored constant
ly all the remainder of that night to obtain
another intervie^Ntidih her, but she persistently
and successsfully avoided him, until, harrassed
by cruel doubts and sick at heart, he sought
out Miss Devon and told her he was ready to
take her home at any moment she might desire
to return. She too was heartily tired and weary
of the scene and longed for an opportunity to be
once more in quite and to try to forget in the
dull routine of her daily life the grief and pain
that were gnawing at her heart.
(TO BE CONTINUED.)
The Prime of Life.
Between the ages of -±5 and GO a man who has
properly regulated himself may be considered
in the prime of life. His matured strength of
constitution renders him almost impervious to
an attaejk of dis^sg^ekj. experience .has given
soundness to his" juagment. His mind is reso
lute, firm and equal; all hi
the highest order; he assum „
business; builds up a competence on the foun
dation he has laid in early manhood, and passes
through a period of life attended by many grat
ifications. Having gone a year or two over he
arrives at a standstill. Bnt athwart this is the
viaduct called the turn of life, which, if crossed
in safety, leads to the valley of “old ago,” round
which the river winds, and then beyond, with
out boat or causeway, to effect his passage. The
bridge is, however, constructed of fragile ma
terial, and it deDendshow it is trodden whether
it bond or break. Gout and apoplexy are also
in the vicinity to waylay the traveler, and
thrust him from the pass, but let him gird up
his loins and provide himself with a fitter staff,
and he may trudge on in safety and with perfect
composure. To qi.it metaphor, ‘ ‘the turn of
life” is a turn lni-ia prolonged walk or into the
grave. The system and power having reached
the utmost expansion now begin either to close
like a flower at samet or break down at once.
One injudicious stimulant, a single fatal excite
ment, may force it beyond its strength, while a
careful supply of props and the withdrawal ot
all that tends to force a plant will sustain it in
beanty and vigor until night has entirely set in.
