ZooOorsaii and her piudcnl mother had decided to uppvopi .j ate both owner and estate as soon as possible after his arrival, now tutor. Mr. Hamilton, soon ; Jecame tt great favorite with his pupils. Living as he did in the fami , j lC goon became well~ ac quainted with all, while lu evident ty admired the beautiful Zoe, who treated him with cool •politeness, Of Blanche he saw little. Sho was only the poor rttation, depending upon her uncle for support, there tore compelled to bear every ini position and caprice her worldly, selfish aunt and cousin saw fit to inflict. Only a little enjoyment was hor’s; a solitary spot, a deep ravine wild.y romantic and secluded, not fur from her uncle’s residence. Thither sho went on> beautiful af ternoor, about October 1, tripping along down tl.« winding pall, that ied to the depths below. But sud denly .ho paused, a groan and a taint call tor help arresting her steps. Hastening to the spot where she judged the sufferer to be, she saw a man lying at the foot ot the n,vine, rootiinieua, and now quite H ti „. In a few minetes sho was beside him, and on lifting his head from the ground.she found Mr. Hamiton, the tutor, unsconscious. Running to the stream of water, she dipped in her handkerchief and hatlied his brow. At last he opened Ins cye3 and g»*ed long and vacantly upon her. Ah, yes, I remember, I did fall lost f leaned my bafance. over to pluck Bat a I flower feci better and again, thanks to you for your care, U nd I will see if I cannot rise. Lean on me Mr. Hamilton. mm think I can get you up to the path if it is too sleep to the road, and from thence, after a rest, home. Slowly, yet surely, leaning on the young girl for that susport be ^ h e c^pt long, olten stopping to rest, until at last the level road was S^^d, and from there h,s own r 00ra to which the physician w» s00 n summoned, and nis limb and bruises attended to. Lyin^ thus helpless upon *to his bed, the door partly opened allow a circulation of air, the young mass lay half dozing, when he accrdcnt ally heard thefollowing coarersa tion intended * of course * ’ far t. i ’ own ears: A prettv piece of work this snid Mr«. Ooraair, who was scUUh woman. \t ho is to nuree, I would like to know? And to a Miserable tntor, intor runted tho equally solfi.-h Zoe. * 1 should bo Very glad to take « hur 8® ot ll »® P OOP young man, AnU ne S 1 ecl 1 h0 ™ cre - hmslied 5 »b _ my wrapper not yet.

Come mother, don’tbolher about bira an y longer. lbo can ingo "utts to take us the concert. Como on. So saying, tho unfeeling Zoe i swept down stairs, followed by her motlier, while a soft voice murmur ot * by tho invalid's side: * You are not sleeping I seo— What shall I do for your relief? j 1 f ecl quite comfortable, thank y°«> except a headache caused by «bc -dden jar. Let me bathe it, then. How soft hor fingers were; how gentle her touch, and what a depth i ot largo womanly pity beamed from those brown eyes. About two weeks after the acci ^ cnt Blanche wandered onco more to her favorite resort, and seating herself at tlio foot of tho descent she was soon lost in a deep rover- This is a charming spot, Miss Blanche, said a well-known voice behind her, and I. soo is a favorite of yours. Now that 1 know how to avoid its dangers, I also am charm with '<» deep rqroao and piclnr. liorull'. ply I am glad yon liko lady, it, was tho re of the young as sho blush «d slightly when ho sontod himself by her side. But jours is tho only 1 havo cvoi soon when here, *»d 1 cannot but wonder how you discovered the spot, 'Ono of my little pupils told mo of it, and that day when I foil tf«s nty first visit. Thankful am I that you wore in the habit of coming here,else 1 might havo died, alone and uimnsscd. Alone, 1 grant, bat not nnm.ssed for your pnpils love you. 1 would like to toll you, dear Mtsa B anche, how strongly attach ed I have bccomo to my tender nurse amt how much l long for her *to return % devoted affection, Dearest, oan yon love s. person oc cupying so humble a prisiiinn ns tu tor to your uncle’s children ? If you can, and if you will allow me lo present my deep loye, and will consent to be my wife, it will bo the delight of my life to try to make you happy. Then he drew her op toward him and their lips met. No opposition was offered when Mr. Hamilton asked the hand ot Blanche Gilmoio from her uncle, all thinking that their poor aelative did well even in marrying a tutor, In tho meantime tho news came that the Belmont owner was soon to take possession of his property. Ono of his oddities was that on the evening of his return a large party of friends and tho select neighbors were to assemble to welcome him. This party, as it happened, was to take, ptaco the evening beforo the marriage of Blanche. Cards of in v itation had been left at Mr. C'or sair’s, and, much to tho surprise and chagrin of Miss Zoo, Blanche was also remembered. Just as if wc wanted to introduce j onr poor relations, she said scorn t«*fly. I wonder that tho tutor ulsO was not included. Tho evening canto. The room* were thronged, but singular to re mane, tho young owner had not as yet made his appearance. The guests were received by Ins most intimate friends, Mr. and Mrs. Metcalf, and tho latter, as R >pn as Blanche had beei, introduced, roan, aged in to draw her to ono aide, and another moment Zoe wondered as she saw them leave the rooms About half nr, hour la ter, after all the gdests had assem bled, Mr. Metcalf said r “Ladies and genflcman, Mr. B c mont has just arrived and in a few minutes will be pleased to nice! you and introduce to ail assembled the beautiful young lady, who to* morrow morning will become his bride.” Scarcclj T had he finished speak¬ the ing when the young man entered room with Blanche hanging on his arm; ncr face radicrit with hap “° Ur , ,:i, . ° ,Ul . . °' ,,, 0010,1 . .
