HER MISTAKE,
Miss Marian Marvin—the largest,- .
heart-ed. sweet cat-tempered of women,
was suffering a cruel trial, although
that maternal feeling which was so
strong a part , of ... her nature, and i which i • i
being denied its natural outlet through
( .|,ildren ol' her own, had gone out to
the children of others—to three espo
cial, whom she had adopted ^ and j part
ly reared. Two of these were hoys—
the sons of a sister who had married
unfortunately and died young. Her

the best loved—was the daughter of

she was a child of uncommon beauty
and grace, warm-hearted and
sprightiv intellect. It was no wonder
siie gtew into the affections of Marion
Marvin, until no daughter could have
been better loved. As she advanced to
womanhood, her foster mother looked
forw ard with keen anxiety to the time
when she should fulfill her “woman's
destiny to love and to be loved. Her
own life in this respect had been
red by the treachery of one to whom
she had given her full treasure of
fion and faith ; and the memory of that
bitter trial determined her to he
daily watchful of her lovely charge.
She resolved to forest ail the
chance in such matters by fitting the
other young nephews to be the husband
J of Ethel. She chose the eldest;
vey was thoughtful, amiable,
hearted. ] le was a model of steadiness
fond of home and women’ssociety. He
would prove an admirable mate for
iter darling. And Ethel was very
foud of him whereas she was latterly

hope that lie would marrv Ethel and
settle dow .1 ns piaeticmg lawyer , . I :
a in
the fiotinslimg town a mile ofi; ill !
which the girl owned a pretty home as |
an inheritance. And Harvey had ad- j
ni it.ted that lie loved Ethel better than |
a "- v S' iH 1,0 bnew-that he was pretty
comfortably assured she wasfoud of
him, (young men of tweuty-two are (
apt to cherish such comfortable assitr
ances), and was ready to ask hei the j
momentous question whenever his
aunt thought the time was ripe. j
She thought it was ripe the last time J
the brothers were at home for a holi- j
day—Harvey was studying law iu the
city. They had been out riding, and i
returning homo in a gallop, Harvey i
was thrown; not seriously hurt, how- j
ever, though a frightened servant came j
flying in with the cry, “Mr. Harvey is '
killed I’"' and Ethel—who was not given j j
to such weakness—swooned awav.
When she was coining to, with her i
aunt and the young men about her, she 1
opened her half-conscious eves upon :
Harvey, murmured tender, am-1 :
some
ious words that delighted Miss Marvin
and brought a flush of joy—or ernbar
rnssment—into the young man’s j
check. "
| “What did I say, auntie? Did I say
anything when I was coming out of
that ridiculous swoon ?” asked Ethel, j
when Mrs. Marvin came to kiss her and
t-uek her away for the night. !
“Nothing coherent—nothing to be
tray your secret, darling—to any one
hut me, and I always guessed it. Don't ■
blush ; it was not from anything you
did ; only mother-love is full of intui
tions. Y'ou need not fear; 1 know his
secret too; lie will tell you before ho
goes away.”
But he did not, nor did lie trust the
soft confession to a letter; indeed his
letters wore so brief and constrained
that Miss Marviss wondered and was
anxious. The matter was made plain
at last.. Site was fearfully surprised
and Shocked by receiving a letter from
Harvey telling her that tie bad just
married and praying her forgiveness.
He had for some time loved a sweet
little girl, the daughter of a German
artist—who had lodged in the same
house where lie boarded. Her fat lie
had died (he had long lingered with
consumption) leaving her without a
friend or protector, hence their sudden
marriage. He had been afraid to fell
1 -on* *"*<.«• «■*-»
to little Marguerite, knowing she clier-
islied the idea of his marrying Ethel. i
Indeed he had expected to fulfill this i
plan . until ... the sight . , , ot - Margin „ rite • s)
grief and friendlessiicss and ulingdng |
trust in him put everything hut her out J
of his mind, lie wrote so feelingly I
that .1 , Miss Marvin s soft, romantic heart; . .
was touched and she could have rcadi-'
lv forgiven him had it not been for j
Ethel. !
“He , T has , broken , , my darling, 1 r s heart, , , ;
she exclaimed, wringing iter hands,
“How dare lie say. as he doc- in (hi.,

I girl in her arms, showering kisses and
1 caresses upon her, she artfully
! pared the way for the shook she shrank
; so from giving.
| ‘•Ethel, my darling, it is woman’s
j to grow strong by suffering. Hear
I vour fust trial bravely, dearest. We
[were deceived. He did uot love my
darling. He loved, he lias married
. another.”
“Married i”

.... “Yes, married . , yesterday morning,
so he has written. They arc coming
I here to-day—within this hour. Can
ixsv'it?”
A shiver ran over the girl, hut she
made no reply, She was quite still for
a few momeuts, her face hidden on the
breast of her life long friend. Tiien
she raised her head; she was very pale
but quite calm.
“I will go and dress,she said, “I
will come back here and we will re
ceive them together.”
Miss Marvin kissed her without
word, and she went out. When she
returned, she was exquisitely driw-'ed
with her lovely hair arranged it. waves
and curls. I Jo .should see what he hati
lost: auj he -iioegi t. ,, ,

the wound of her heart.
„„ The bell , ,, ntug; Miss ... Marvin looked
anxiously- at Ethel. The girl’s
face reassured her; she could
not tell ... how wildly her , heart , , was beat- ,
ing under its faces.
The door opened ; Harvey and his
bride entered. Ethel uttered a faint,
exclamation, and grasped Miss
vin’s shoulder. “She has lost herself
; she will betray herself,”
thought (he elder lady in anguish.
Hut no ; in an instant she was herself
again—uav more radio 11 1 and sweet
and graceful than they had ever seen
her. She put the little bride at ease
she removed all repio.icli of conscience
from Harvey, she smoothed the way
to recoin illiatioii with infinite tact.—
With all slie was so bright, she. seemed
so happy that Harry, who came that
evening' by his brother’s invitation,
looked at her in wonder. Miss

“All, dear child, how well you have
borne yourself! None would have

“Ami tie, there is no shaft. I am

It was a mistake of vour,s. it is Harry

A few days since, in company with
a friend, we called upon Senator Hill.
We had not seen him since the early
days of the Hancock campaign, at a

uot begun to excite apprehension.

of a daughter tanned his fevered brow.
