By the by, Helen, yon were not at the church souiubje. the other evening, and therefore missed seeing how very attentive Mr. Gray was to your cousin.*’ Helen's tone is full of contempt as she'answers; “How absurdly yon talk!

But we :ui«r better be careful Sylvie just left the svwini, room a short while ago, and she may return at any mo ment.’’ if Helen had paused to glance into the adjacent apartment, she would have seen that she had been mistak en in thinking it unoccupied.

For miles ai mi nd Fair view is just )y called tin; most beautiful place It had been built severul years befme by a rich man for a summer resi dence, but before he had Ibid an opportunity to enjoy it, he had sud denly died, and it had come into the market. From that time until a sho. t while before our story opens, il had remained m.tenanted. Then the nevvs*hud remained uu- teuanlcd. Then the news had flown far and vvido that it had at length 'found a purchaser in the person of a very young and handsome gentleman, Mr. Leon Gray by name. It. wa* not long before the news-comer be came a prime favor'tc in Clareton society, ns is. perhaps, not surpris ing, considering the extreme rarity of the eligible unmarried gentlemen in the neighborhood. It was a church sociable that Mr. Gray-first became acquainted with Bylvie Carter, and so much pleased was he wit h her graceful, unaffected manlier and charming face that (heir Hint uiee'ing was by no means their last. Three mouths slip bv. In her tiny sitting-room Svlviu is seined alone, her head bent above a letter which lies open upon her lap. it is from an aunt—her mother's sister—in Australia. The letter says that the writer, through the failure of a company in which her husband’s money had been invested, bad been dashed from a position of com|ictency to the prospect of a fu ture of dependence; t hut she is old and feeble, and shrinks with a great dread fjom the thought of ending her days in an alien laud; that, after hesitation, .she has decided to state her case to her distant relatives, and ask for their aid. Thu writer faith er t-u/s that iIlia is the second letter she hui written, the first, which had been to her brother's daughter, having elicited only u cold unsympathetic response. As Sylvie finishes, sho unlocks her desk, and lakes from it a roll of bills. She counts them slowly over. One hun dred dollars. To her a great sum, reprcscutinjr the savings of three Ion" years of patient effort. And now that the end for which sho has worked is almost accomplished— that money has been earned sufficient to-pay for the two. years’ finishing course which is necessary in order to become an applicant for a teach er’s position; duty stands in the way with upraised, k debarring hands. The return matt takes in the old la dy, impatiently awaiting a reply, the following: My'IJs.vh Auxt.—Though I have never seen, you, my dear mother loved you loo well for mo ever to turn a cold or neglected ear to her sister in her'time of iron hie. Come to meat once. I nave often longed for ucompanion, and now Providence is kindly going to grunt me the de sire*! boon. Enclosed you will (ind an amount sufficient to bring you to where your niece is awaiting you with welcoming, affectionate arms. The winter that follows is an ex ceptionally lively one; but while Helen Mot rose has enjoyed to the full its excitement, there has been one element to her satisfaction lack ing; for though she has exerted herself to the til most, as vet her fasuinalious have failed to bring 10 the desired point the young eligible, who, in her estimation, as he is hi that Of others, is bean and shoulders above lus compeers. In the ineuiittfne, the friendship between Leon Gray ami .Sylvie still continues. flic little, silver-haired placid faced old lady vyt.o has become an to mute of Bj i viu’s home, seems to have conceived ail extreme fane) lor her niece s frequent caller, and 8yl vie of ten is caiiei'i upon to listen to encomiums which sli* finds no diffi culty in indorsing heartily, “it is evident that you are prone to sudden at lachiiienis, atintio," sb t . says, smilingly, one day. “That is true,” the old lady re plies, “for 1 fell in love vvuh yon, m\ darling, the first moment I saw yon.” The weeks glide on until, one afternoon, the elegant equipage from Fairvievv, with its thorough-bred horses, and livened coachman, drives through the village, stopping every now and then to deliver the cards of invitation .which request the* pleas ure of the favored recipient's society at a fete to lie gi ven at Fail view a couple of weeks hence.. “Indeed you Tnnst go, Sylvie,” her aunt exclaims, when the former ex presses her determination of sending a regret. “I am too old to care for scenes—alt hough it was very kind of Mr. Gray to rciiicmbcr me—but you arc young, ami youth loves change and gayety. What if you haven't an elegant dress? In simple white muslin, my (lulling will be the queen of the assemhinge, if um in I lie guests’ estimation, in that of the house's young master, if my old eves are not very much mistaken. You need iio.i blush, although blushes arc becoming to you, iiiv dear. . Say you will go 'j.ist to satisfy mu?” But Sylvie does not commit bersc|f to any answer then. A few days later, however, when Leon, with all Ills heart in his dark oyok, and more than a lover’s eloquence upon his lips, pleads a double cause—that she will not alone go to Faimcwus his guest, but will prom iso to re enter it to remain some future blissful) day, as its beloved mieuoss, her an swer, though low and fullering through great surprise, and as great ami sudden a joy, sutifius her listen er. . A* the carriage which carries Svl vie colls on us way toward Fuirviuw, a ioi In-r passes it with a uhittc mid nit lie that causes Sylvie to start—a trivial incident which situ does not think imyihing about at the t:me. but rouicmucrc later. As sho descends from the dressing- room, sho finds Loon awning her at the foot of the stairs. “Cottle,” lie says, as ho offers her his arm; “my mother is awaiting to bu presented to yon with lho great est eagerness.” Straight through the Spacious apartment he leads her to where, at the further end, stands a small torm attired in rich black velvet, with a kind faee frame by puffs of softest silver. “Mother,” Loon says, “this is Miss Cater. Si 1 vie—turning to the gill by his side with an expression of mingled earnestness and amiisomont in his dark eyes, “if I am not .inis •taken, I think you are already ac quainted with my mother.” Looking iqi with a start of supreme snrpiso, Sylvie recognizes • in the face of the old lady, who lias taken both her hands tu her own, instead of,responding to herson’s introduction with the formal how etiquette pros-, cribes, that of the aunt whom six months before she welcomed to her home and love. “My mother told the whole truth, mill nothing but ilie truth, when she said lhat. she had lost her all,’’ Leon tells his bel.rot.huil later; but she neglected to'mention that slit- had a son whose fortune had escaped the disaster that had swept away her own. Sylvie Carter’s love story was too romantic to remain long hidden from general knowledge; and while it. would hardly be fair to say that Helen grows green with giivy as she watch6s the happiness of her cousin, oncie poor, hut now rich with For tune’s lavish gifts, it. is certain that her cheeks flushed more darkly than was becoming, when one day shortly after the wedding that, ma le of Syl vie Carter Mrs. Leon Gray, her inti mate friend, Fanny Hunt, re marked: “Don’t you wish you liad thought twice, Helen, i eforo repulsing so coldly that Australian relative of yours v It was ivelear case of ’an angel unaware.’ ” If looks could annihilate, there would cerluily he no long**:* any Fan nie Hunt it-fi to say sharp things; but fortunately a glance, though it can do much, cannot, ki!!, and Fan nie lived to accompany her. friend upon ilie extended European tour which lluluii soon after decidud upon.

Work of the Country Editor, The country editor Ims to manage his business, lie solicits udvert.se incuts anil spends hours in the uoik of convincing men against their wills that it ts to their iimirust to beep their names and wares before the public; he spends days and days talking with men iu induce them to become subscribers and slowly builds up a list of numbs-lor his paper; lie doubles his work when it comes to collecting the. money for his adver tisements and his subscriptions, tramping miles and miles and wast ing many picciojis hours trying to get .hold of a few dollars with vvhicn to im’ei obligations that are pressing linn, wolf like, and lacking his mind with perplexity and fear. That is the work winch makes the country editor old before his 'ime, that often times put. him in u humiliating alii tude before business men, and lilt.- his heart with thu bitterness of dus pair. That is the real labor uf the country editor. It is to bu wondor- ud at that sometimes his paper i dull uml uninteresting, scant of uuwr and lacking in ihu attractions thu the public demand.

Wo bring tho minis ters into this discussion, not to belit tle their work, but to make a com parison that, will be generally under stood. The influence of the country editor is nearly always helpful; a good newspaper wilt tIo more for a town than any other influence. Is there a hospital to be built? Tho editor presents tho necessity for tl, kindling in every mind a desire to see the institution established, points out the way for accomplishing the object desired and helps along every scheme for furthering tho cause. Are selfish men planning to line their pockets with a scheme that will injure instead t.f benefit the town? Tho editor exposes the plot attd awakens tiro, opposit ion of the people. Is there a L.ir iu progress for the benefit of a church or u town library? The editor booms it, gets everybody interested and in sympathy with the matter nud turns thogoldon tide in the proper direction. He helps along the local charities and ail worthy institutions, ho keeps tho people informed about each other and alive to the in tort Bt of their town; his influence is strong, constant, and for tho well being of his town.
