Sweet Lucy Maiming ! the most art less, winning maiden in all the world to ill". I ioVed her deeply, dearly. Bhe was blue eyed, auburn haired, tier die oosilion <vas that of an angel, and I had plighted my vows to her. One uight I was invited t-» the house >f a prosperous merchant, and there I met a sifen in the person’of ffis rieice a alack eyed girl, whose charms ami whose fortune were equally splendid. She was an heiress iu'iirf own right, s> e w as beautiful and afccotffplisbod. Heavens what ur #otcw‘ via* hers— pure, clear, sweet, ravishing! I was •ha med and she wfatf pleased wi h me. Alas, j. ttrtt her too often ! In her pres< ence I forgot my gentle Lucy; she magnetized, thralled irie. It was triumph to feel that so beauti- ful, gifted ami wea'lhy a woman loved me—me, who had been brought up in the tuirliei sos a city who hail known misery and corruption all the first years of my life. Gradually I broke off my intimacy with Lucy. I received no token form her, Bie was to • proud But that cheek grew pale, that eye languid, and though mat her. I knew in my heart that site was siifciing, and branded my-elf a villain. At last who knew with certainty that I was to marry Miss B,diair.

My miserly disposition began to manifest itself soon utter my marriage 1 carried nvy gold first to batiks, then to my own private safes. i pot constraint on my wife, for very generously film made over her whole fortune to me, and Itegati to grumble at tlie expenses. I made our liying So frugal that slie rem msiratcd. and finally ran up large bills where and wiiep she pleased. Against this I protested, and’ we had open quarrels more than once. My i lollies grew shabby, I could not afford to buy new oiies, althoilgh the interest of my ifivestnieiits was more that! £ could spend for rational living. I grew fiually.dissatisfied.

Brain fever ensued. For weeks I lay deprived of reason, literally treading the vet ge of the graye. One morning, I was conscious of u sinking, deadly feeling; as I feebly opened my eyes as it an ang.

The vision seem ed wavering now. but oh, did it not wear the beatify of sWeet Lucy Man ning ? A quiet unutterable peace took possession of my entire being. I forgot wealth, beauty, everything. My past I fe seemed blotted out, and l was again innocent, untouched by the giijting hand of avarice, true, loving, ami loVud, and Lucy Manning Was my i-b/l. But 1 recovered slowly and at last, as my strength surely icturued I m.ssed tier. As soon as she saw I could be left wi lit safety, she had left me; and oh, the Idank—the dreadful blank !
