BARBARA. ‘‘Now you must do some credit to my pursing, and get. strong aud well again.” As Fannie P'easauton spoke,she put beside the bed over which she was leaniog, a great bunch of fra grant. violets, moist and beautiful biea’.hing their sweet stories of shady nooks in deep woods A little, pale face, that had been lyiug liailessly on the pillow was lif ed eagerly. “Oh, how good you are! Oh 1 they are like home ! my own dear home ! “Great tears rolled down the pale face. “Tell me about your home how came you to leave it for this city ? asked Fanny. “My father diet!, and the farm was sold to pay a mortgage. I had a little money, and I thougl l 1 could find work in the city. Be sides ” Bui here Barabn Golding stop ed, and a fair.t crimson blush rose upon her pale cheeks. “H’m," thought Fannie, wise ia twenty-two years »f city life and education ; “a love story.” She asked no questions, but pie./y soon Baraba said : ‘•You have been so kind, [ will ell you. Perhaps you can tell me what l o do.” / will nelp you in way I can.’’ ‘Two years ago, /he summer that I was seventeen, father took a boarder. He was a la-vyer, and his heal/h had failed, from studying too hard. I think he was about twenty-six or tvveaty eight years old. Not handsome but so gentle and good that we all •iked him from the first, And he would come into the garden with me and help me with vegetables and fruit, because father left that to me ; and would carry the milk up to the dairy room for me, and talk about books aad the city, and —oh, Mis* Pleasontou. don’t you know !” “He made love to you f ’ “Yes,” in a faint whisper. “You ioved him ?” “Yes.” again ; “I could not help it? When he went away, he pro mised to come the next summer aud he told me when Le made his for tune, he would come to ask me to share it.” “Did he come ? •‘Father died the next sprit g, and I came here. And 1 thought I should fiud him but 1 did not see him for a long time, and when I did I had become so very poor 1 would tot force myself upon him. I worked as well as 1 could, but this summer I became sick and but for you I should have starved.” “Do you think yoar lover is still true to you ?” “I cannot tell! I would not trouble him. Sometimes, I found out where his office was, I would not trouble pass by after dark and peep in. It was beau tifully fur nished ;so I hope he is making his fortune; but 1 only whispered ‘God Bless him, and came home ” “Will yon tell me his name.” “Lennox —Cyrus B.

Lennox!” She was very pale w hem she camea'-nin to the bedside, but her voice wiir steady and sweet as, she said: “I must leave you now Baraba but I will come again ?’’ “Yes, you are very kind. Bui —you will come again ?” “Thisafternoon ! Try to eat a few strawbberriess 1 have brought you !” She went away then, s opping as usual to fell the janitress of the poor teuement house tj take care of the sick girl un il her re turn. But instead of driviug to the store where sh had in/ended to make final purchases for « nearly completed wedding outfit, siio told the coachmen to drive home. Once there unheeding the mix ious inquires of her aunt, astonish ed at her early return and pale face, she went lo her own room boltiDg the door, before she sank down in a chair, wearied with the effort to mantain her compos ure. Cyrus B. Lennox, the girl said. Fannie Pleasanton, looking around her luxurous room saw a pleasant confusion of dress, new garments loading tables and war d rope, drawers overflowing with dainty finery, open trunks wait ing to be packed. And the pre parations were all for a weddiDg iu one short week, and the bride groom elect was Cyrus B. Len nox. What was this story the little seamstress she found starving in the attic had told her The jani tress of the* xenement-hou>e had been a a servant in /he Pleasanton fami y, and came to Fannie who was generous, whenever any dis_ tress came to her notice. And Fannie had gone at her last call to find Baraba Golding tossiDg in a delirious fever, evidently over work ed, poorly fed, and silting in the attic chamber. Sba had paid for a betier room on a lower floor had, sent for a doctor, had supplied medicines, food and care, had visited her often, till the doc tor pronounced her on the l oad to recovery. And in return she had heard that Cyrus her own betrothed hus band, was /he lover of Barbaba Golding. “Does lie love her yet? the girl thought, pushing back tiie hair Irorn her pale face, and look ing in the mirror. lam far hand somer. She is not pretty, only sweet and fair. lam handsome and accomplished. She is a pau per, lam wealthy Cytus is not poor now, since is aunt died ; but he will rise to emminence with my wealth to aid him, while she will be but a burden upon him. Only a week. Long before Bara ba can even set up, we shall be on our way to Europe, and he will soon forge/ her. Why did seek me if he ioved her ? It wa only x request of Bis auats not a command, that he should marry me if I consented. But he came to me, and I love him—l love him Can Baraba love him better love than mine? I can give her mon ey to return to her old home i she wishes ! Oh ! Cyrus do you love her and cot me? I cannot doubt! I must know !” As if in answer to the thought a servant rapped at the door ,and, opening it. Fannie was handed Cyrus Lennox’s cird. “I will come down at once,” she said, taking off her hat and stno/li iug her disordered hai r. sbe was not sorry tha/ he had called while the first excitement of her discov ery nerved her with fictitous strength to endure any word she might speak: Sbe came to him quietly, dignified us ever, but very pale, so pale lie asked anx iously if sbe was well. “Well but tired,” she answered “I have been out this morning.” They talked of indifferent mat* ters for a short time; then Fannie said earnestly; “Cyrus, I bave a craving desire to ask yououe true woman’s ques tion. Will you promise a sincere answer?” He hesitated a moment, then said. * 1 will answer truthfully what ever you ask." “Did 3011 ever love any other wo mm before you knew me?” “Do you not think it enough to kuo.v I love you now?’ he said. “Yll promised me a sitcere an swer, and you give mean evasion,’ sue saiu reproachfully. Because you asked me to tear open an old wound your love is aealiug/’ -Y et. even if it pains both you arid me, I beg you tell me of your find love ” Fannie's lips were parched and Miff, but she spoke calmny. “Since you insist," Cyrus said gravely, “I will tell you. Two years ago, iu a farm-house where I was boauling I met a woman, or rather a girl, a sweet, fair maiden whom I loved. 1 was a poor man, then I’ant ie, and she had a hapny, p easant home. So I bade her farewell, hoping to return die next year and bring her home to the city. When I did return the farm was sold, and Barbara had gone away. None of the neighbors could tell me anything of her." “It was your place to seek her!" “I did, faithfully. Bu, I could find no trace of her wereabouts In the autumn my aunt died. She bad loved you foi years, and her last wish was the hope Jilt you would one day be my wife. It was a sweet solace to me even in my sorrow for her loss, and pain at Barbara’s disappearance, to have your sympathy, and I soon found tiuue was yet room iu my heart for a true, tender love. You can not beleive I would have asked you to be my wife had I not loved yon”' “But if, cveu now, you found Baraba ?” “/ have long ago ceased to seek her !” ‘Yet if she came to you ?’’ “You are my betrothed wit's? ’ “Ye 1 if Barbara came to you, poor, friendless and sick: if she told you she had come to the city seeking work, hoping to find you and had sunk under her burden of loneliness tied toil: if she told yon, that raggered, footsore and weary, she had looked in at you in your cosy office, aud turned away unwilling to throw l he bur l don of ber poverty upon yon; if she had struggled till she had fainted and fell sick, and was gaining health slowly, hopelessly, with no future before her but a future of poverty and toil; if Bar bara came sj to you, Cytus, what would you say?” But only a pallid fact, with great beads of perspiration upon the broad brow, was lifted in speechless agony to meet her eyes Only large brown eyes, wistful and suffering, appealed to her womanly heart. There was a deep sileece in the room for a long time. Then a hoatse voice said: “You have seen Barbara?” “Yes, I have seen her.” “As you describe?” “Yes!” “And you despise me us faith less to her and to yon?” “No, Ido nut despise you! I am sorry that you did not know your own hear/ better, when you came to ask me tc be your wife.” All ber paia and leva was well hidden in /lie cold, proud voice which Fannie Pleisonton assumed to civer her breaking htait. But after a mo uent, she said, more gently: “Barbara Las been very ill, aud is slid too weak to bear any great agita ion. You will not trust me to tear out this old love and be ever Irue and faithful to you? I am not so weak but I can do so if you will trust me.” “But I wil/ not!” was the quiet ropiy; “I will marry noman whose bear/ is not all mine. I will have no memory of another love for my constant rival. We can still be friends. Cyrus, but never again lovers. He had no words to meet the steady resolution of her voice, but yet he took no coward’s plea for shel/er He would not say, even to his own heart, “She never loved me; she is glad to throw m« off.” He knew si e hail loved him, be ing 100 purely womanly to give her hand when, she had not al ready given her hear/. He knew the sacrifice sue was making. He took both her little cold hands in his, lifted them reverently to his lips, saying: “May God bless you for your goodness to her. I will come again when you send for me ’’ So he loft her, carrying the dream of future happiness she had carried six months next her heart with him. She would not trust heseli to think. Obtaining the doctors per mission, she brought Barbara to her ewn stately home and nursed Iter buc’ to her health, restoring her to her lover, but telling her uoihiug of her own sacrifice. Before tie winter snows came there was a quie/ wedding, for the doctor had s'rungly urged a warm or climate for the invalid. Him was very lntppy, 1 his pale; little Barbara, when sheltered by her hue ban ns love; she took leave of her kind friend, and went away to seek the soft air of Florida, to court health in balmy southern breezes. She was very happy in her husband’s tender care, his car essing affection in the winter mouths when even the warmth and frtgance of Florida air would not bring back the lost strength, Lit tle by little she faded away, always gentle and Joving, always happy when she lay dying, in h e husbands • loving arms; never guessing any divided love or duty had ever threatened to seperate them. Gently and painlessly, as a babe sinks to slumber, /itile Bar hui a sunk into” the lust earthly sleep, her head upon her husbands breast, his tender words soothing her, Lis loving touch caressing her. Softly they laid her under the evergreen verdure of the southern giass, and Cyrus turned his face homeward, widowed and sorrow ful. Two years latfar Fannie Pleas onton returned from her Europe an trip, taken immediately after Barbara’s wedding. Her old home was unchanged, her aunt glad /o come back to her housekeeping ttid friends. A little paler, a little graver, Cy rus found her when he came to call, but still the gentle, dignified woman he remembered, the true companion 1 is soul ertved. Never to Jiving ears did lie te/1 the secret lie leuruod in liis brief man ted life, the secret that Barba ra, sweet, gonile Barbara, whose girlish beauty had won his love whose deepest pity had stirred his pity, and he gave her both ,n full measure. But he knew, only too soon,that she could never meet him heart to heart as Fannie could'; could nev er be his true life companion. He was loya.ly true to her tnemo-y, speaking no word of his secret dis appointment. But he sought Fannie with a lover’s eagerness, a life's devotion and Fannie, loving him witn her whole heart, knew it was no divid ed homeage he offered her. wuen for the second time, he asked her to be his wife. Sbe had made her sacrifice, and knew- that she had toothed Barba ra’s passage to the grave, not has tened it. And with a clear con science, a deep, abiding love, she o-ce more put her hand into that of Cyrus Lennox and became his faiuiful, dearly loved wife. BITTER WORDS A single bitter word maydis quie/ an entire family for a whole day. One surly g'auce casts a gloom over the household, while a smile like a gleam of sunsh ne,may light up tne darkest and weariest hours. Like unexpected flowers which spring up along our path, fall of freshness fragrance and beauty, so kind words and gentle acts and sweet dispositions make glad the sacred spot called noine. No matter how humble the abode if it be sweetened with kindness and smiles, the heart will turn lovingly toward it from all the tu mults of the world, and heme, if it be ever so homely will be the tue deatvst spot beneath the cir cuit of /lie sun.
