Now, tor old devotees o| la Ii ion to follow t lie loot st eps ol a debutante, and imitate her every caprice, was enough to turn llie )hcad of a y oitng lady of nineteen, to make her vane, arrogant, and unwilling to submit to dictation. We are not prepared to say that Sibyl Uenmere was vain, ar ruga lit, ami believed hersell in fallible; neither do we know that a streak of strong minded ness rail through her composi tion and made her alike invulne ruble to the honors and llatteries lavished upon her. We have her word for it that she did not mind being dictated to, hut she would not submit to being dictated to by him, for, oil, how she detested him ! Now, the gentleman Miss Sibyl designated as “him'’ was the on ly one of her intimate friends or relatives who had her interest at hearl that attempted to dictate to her since the day she took il upon herself to “come out" as a young holy, and to this lirst and only dictation she refused to sub uiit, so wo must leave Sibyl to i the tender mercy ol our reader to pass judgment upon her “Mother 1 will not put it|> with I it any longer!” Sibyl's checks were allame.niul her dark eyes dilated as site gave vent to the ahove. “Well, well, the course of true! love never runs smooth. Her belt has been doing something i awful again, l suppose," said Mrs. j Kcumere, in a soothing voice. “Mother, I know von are only talking lightly, hut it does pro j yoke me when you speak of love between Herbert Talfourd an me. If you only knew how 1 detest , him! and I will not submit to his interference any longer." "Mv dear Sibyl, l understand i Vv you detest him bettor than do yourself," and Mrs. Ken smiled quietly. “I*ut what mas happened now “Why, l was driving atom* in the Park yesterday, when lie! came up to me, and said it looked anything hut lady like to see a yoking ladt out alone driving a j pair of fast ponies; and he depp ai into the phaeton, took the. reins deliberately out of my hands, and drove me home.' my dear, lie said wliat fy&gafccctlt true. i n> \* i ' '''is' -'"I •- c* ||||Mubvl.

As she opened her room door she saw her maid sitting-weeping, and hist uni ly the auger died out of her face, and a look ol sympa thy was in its stead. •Is your little nephew any worse, Marie T* asked Sibyl. “Oh, no, Miss Sibyl, lie's not worse, but I could not keep back my tears when I came home. 1 am crying out of pure gratitude. Your kindness has saved his life. Miss Sibyl. Oan I ever do enough to repay you “The little fellow is much bet ter Iht-nT'* And tin* society belle turned away, and with a quick move meut touched her eyes with her liamiketeliief. • lie will be no time in recov ering now, the doctor saves, and lie owes Ids life to you, .Miss Sib vl. Oh,liow can 1 ever repay you (" “You can repay me in one way, Marie by never saying anything more about it. Have you been tot he At w oods '{" “Yes, Miss Sibyl ; I took the wine and the Iruit, a you told me." “And how is Mr. Atwood ' Mr. At wood was the husband of Sibyl's seamstress, a man who had been very prosperous at one time, but who had failed in btisi ness, and also in health, until his wife had to take in sewing Ibr the support of him and their two children. Everybody know what support tin* needle ot one trail woman can give a family. They were on the direct road to starvation when Sibyl Hen mere's maul found out their eon dilion and reported the same to her mistress. “Very low indeed. Miss Sibyl; lie cannot last many days,” an swered Marie. “Is there anything else we can do for them, Marie f* “Hless your tender heart, my mistress, \on have already sup plied dll their wants. The doc tor says nothing more can be done for his pat ient.” “Order the carriage early to morrow morning, Marie, and we will call there.” “O, von an* so good, Mi“s Sib \ I !” •Sibyl suppressed a sigh, as she said: “It those who have enough and to - pare ol this world'- lre as tire do not give to (tod's desti title who should ?” Sibyl returned Trout her drive next morning, east aside her holt net and mantle when she enter ed the sitting room, and, seeing Herbert TaliVnirJ seated there reading, she tiling herself into a i hair, exclaiming : •■Oh, dear! ido ind knw what to do with myself.” Herbert Talt'ourd hall closed his book, and looked over at her, half Variously, half pityingly. ••A victim of the demon ennui, I suppose,” said Herbert. • I suppose so.” And Sibyl smothered a little yaw n. ••Von see 1 have attended to all my dress making; and shop ping tor this week, and here it is only W ednesilav, leaving me all the rest of the week with noth ing to do. There is no new novel out. and 1 tee I 100 tired or lzv, it yon like to drive, visit, or eos ip.” Sibyl uttered this speech do Tll E F I E Li) AND F !

Sibyl f* said Herbert, with an air of reproach. “Why, of course not." And Sihvl opened wide her eyes and Hashed defiance at Mr. falfourd. “What else should a leader of society have to think about 1 beg pardon. I forgot what a tine contempt Mr. Talfourd entertain ed for leaders ot' society." ••And vet,’’said Herbert with out attempting to contradict Sibyl’s remark, “what glorious opportunites for doing good have the leaders of society ' Think of what an example you might set young ladies, and elderly ladies, Sibyl, who follow in your foot steps. You call yourself a lead er, Sibyl, while you sit here with folded hands, and the beggar cry ing at your gate" “Well, h‘l one of the servant give him something to eat. Do you wish me to go down and an swer the knock i" And Sibyl’s defiant laugh filled t he room. “Oh, Sibyl !’* Ami Herbert Talfourd'- hand some face looked graver than ev er she saw it. “If is not the cry of one, but of thousands that rends the air a round you. The starving, the homeless, the dying are reaching out their hands to such as you for succor, and you sit here and say you have nothing to do." “1 said 1 was tired, Mr. Tal fourd," and Sibyl rose ; “too tired even to sit and listen to you talk ing this morning. If you will ex cuse me'’- —*~ “Sibyl !" He was beside her, and bad her hand clasped in Ids. “1 know how you detest me, Tor 1 have otter, heard yon — ing it, but 1 will speak out, and you must listen to me this time, for 1 w ill never lecture you again.

Sibyl Reumere was the only woman he ever loved, and his love was in vain. He could not tell her that he loved her while slit- felt as slu- did towards him, neither did he w ish her to know that he was her slave while she led her present life; for Herbert hated the so called leaders of so eiety, gay hutteiTlies of fashion. But before to-day lie could not believe that Sibyl was given up body and soul to frivolous gave tv. She was a spoiled, petted child, but lie thought that tin heart in her bosom bruit warm and true. One, two, three weeks passed away, and if Herbert Talfourd had tunit'd to ice, Sibyl thought he could not he colder. He nev er interfered w ith, never advised her now. Perhaps it was this lotting her severely alone that made Sibyl forget Imw she tie tested him. Now this non interference might account for Sibyl no long er detesting Mr. Talfourd, but why it should keep him constant ly in the young lady's mind we cannot say. Sihyl was not amo inent alone w ith her thoughts, ami very often when she was not a lone with them, they were on Herbert Talfourd. “What can have come over me? 1 am not like myself," Sihyl would say in her ow n mind, as she wandered through the bouse liSe a restless spirit. Hut one da\ while sitting thinking of Herbert Tallimid. she burst into tears, and with a woman's incon sistency, wondered if he w as nev er again going to take any inter est in her. and in her tears she in u nun red ; “l do some little good secret ly that he knows nothing of; hut he spoke the truth openly 1 set a had example. Oh, shall 1 ever meet another man as good as he f* And after this flood of tears Sibyl was \erv confident that she no longer detested Herbert Talfourd. * * * * * “He is dying, mis', dying fast." -aid Mrs. Atweud. ns Sibyl stood by the bedside ol the sii k man. “But God has been very good to him. Miss. lie has mu it him an oilier friend to-day, Mr. Herbert Talfourd, whom we knew in our better day’s, and oh. Miss Ren no-re, he ha- already promised mv husband io provide for me and the children. 1 told Mr. Taifourd that you had promised to do that; but you have already done so much— so very much for ns, Mis Rentnciv, that 1 am glad somebody lias come to vour re lief." Sibyl s heart gave a great bound. She never could humble her ••elf to Herbert to tell him that she had always gone among the poor and needy and helped them ; but now lie knew that she was not given, heart and soul, to dress, fashion and gayety , and— she was glad. “Miss Reumere,my best friend," said the dying man, opening his eves, "you may never again see me alive. Will you say a prayer for me, tor he will surely hear uu angel's voice." Sibyl, wit li tears in her eyes, knelt beside the bed and prayed aloud. While Sibyl's voice tilled the room tin- door opened and a man entered. In an instant he took iri the scene before him; then going ov er to the bedside he dropped on Iris knees beside Sibyl, bent his face on the coverlet and wept from the fulness of his heart. When Sibyl tinished her beau titill prayer she simply turned and laid her hand on the man’s head, saving - “Herbert, God bless you !'' And kneeling there, with Sib yl's hand upon his head. Herbert knew that his love was not in vain that lie would never again hear how she detested him. \\ lieiv I’reedom Was Not llnppi m:ss. Mr. Henson, the Fifth street music dealer, stood in the door of his store a couple of nights ago, when a dilapidated looking old colored man who was shuffling a long the walk suddenly halted ami hurst forth with “Lor bress yer.

Sitting down beside his former master, “Old Joe” pourd out his history. It is one of thousands. He followed the army to Vicksburg and worked on the fortilications. Then came the era of the carpet bagger, and the simple minded old African told of his experiences with the sharks who drifted southward to work on the credulity of the t*n franchised and enrich themselves. Unbbod and plundered by the crafty, "Old Joe” hankered after “the good old times'’ and wan tiered through the country. He got beyond the pale of the car pet bagger, anti stopping before a place which bore the Southern stamp, he was thinking how lain gry he was, when the planter sit ting mi the porch called out to him, “Hello, you d—d black rascal, what's the matter with you ?” “1 tell yer, Massa Henson,” said the old negro, “dat Was mu sic to dese ears.
