'If he once marries her,' she said to herself, ' he will find out what a fool she is, and having and hating is far worse than losing'and loving.. The next evening there happened to be a little party at President Lyon's. - Mrs. Hassan snd her mother-in-law had meant to go ; but, »t the last minute, arrived an old friend of Mrs. Hassan's the elder, and that lady preferred staying to talk over old times. Mr. Hassan had gone out of town on business ; Cassy did not like to go alone ; and, rather to har surprise, her brother, who was in the house, offered to ing greetings going out of church ; hat, 0 her bible class in'the Sunday-school room. p ip Yd and diffi-¢ ARLE ose Who, having =in- us, never think of needing or ask- ing forgiveness ; but girls are creatures given to cuyiogi Tanjecture, amd 1 fear pubis + 4 gh 1 Wather occupied | with 'guessing at Mrs. -Hassan's personal | -experience than in making a practical *ap- | | plication of the lesson.

As Mrs. Hassan came down the stairs of Dr. Lyon's house, she heard from the parlor a certain hard mstallic langh with which she was familiar, and she saw hef brother look about him with a startled glance, as if some old association had been unpleasantly jarred. The brother and sister paid their com- pliments to Mrs. Lyon and the president, and then Mrs. Haman looked about her.

It was almost When peace came he went to Menango, - where his sister had married, aud resum, od his profession, but ip very gnambi. tious way, occupying himself chiefly with #¢he business' arising from his brother-in- self agreeable by asking a series of dis- | connected questions varying from astro- | | nomy and chemistry to the professor's own paper on the 'Catacombs,' in the last North American. <The professor was a shy man, and, like { most authors, he could not bear to talk of his writings, Perflaps he feit grateful to Mr. Devine, for he entered with ardor into the subject of Eaglish clossie liter- ature. In the meantime, Mr. Devine | was conscious of a curious feeling--not hope, not expectancy, not terror--an in- ! fluence in the air, for which he could" not account, only as it connected itself with a rather loud treble voice, and a frequent sannd; half-laagh, half-giggle, that came fromamid a group of students. The voice, the langh, were oddly familiar. They were alike, yet unlike. sounds which had rung in his memory for many a | day: Mrs. Hassan, listening to the. conver. any ong else? sation of that very elegant young gentle- man, Master Dick Monroe, was at no loss | to recognize the voice, for the memory of aversion in this ease was truer than that of love. She sat where she could see Mrs. Armer's figure in the centre of group of young men. Mr. Armer had not been dead more than eighteen months, but Mrs. Armer had chosen, since Sun- | day, to leave off her mourning, or only to | retain such as might be discernible rather by faith than by sight. Shé'wote a pale lavender silk, made very.low and trimmed in every conceiva- ble place. She had violets and white | roves in her hair, and a black velvet rib- | bon with a pearl cross on her white neck, and pearl and jet bracelets on her arms. She had not grown old, and at twenty- nine looked hardly less fresh than-at nine- teen. Her color had not faded, and she had the same way of rocking to and fro, twisting her neck and rolling her eyes- in a manner which some people called grace- ful, and which had of old disgusted Cassy | Devine and charmed her brotaer. Would it charm him again? Mrs. Hassan glanced at him across the room, and saw that he had seen his old love, and was watching her, quite oblivious to the professor's remarks about a fine his- / » prudent yong woman, preferred to have torical collection whieh he desired to see added to the library. The look on Mr. Devine's face was not of admization, or grief, or uy very intense emotion, 'except that of shocked surprise aud wonder. Presently, as Professor Beaucour turn- .ed to speak to some one else, Mr. De- vine made his way to the group of which Mrr. Armer was the centre, and reached | it just in time to hear these words 'Oh, people in America make such frights of themselves, wearing mourning forever, and going about like so many palls. And if you put on black you can't go to parties. Why, when Cad Martin's brother died, and sha was perfectly devot- ed to him, she wouldn't put on black at all, because then she said she couldn't go into society, and her mind was so distract- ed she needed diversion more than ever. I told Mr. Armer that he meedn't expect I was going to make a guy of myself for him forever, if he died." And here came the inevitable Jangh, echoed by many of the surrounding gentlemen. - I think most men have a certain pleasure in hearing a woman talk like & fol, as it justifies their preconceived theories. ' Can this be the woman I have had in mind all these years I' thought Mr. Devine bewildered, and yet with a dim sense of relief, as if some heavy cloud were grad. ually dispersing from before his eyes. He stood and watched her every motion | fascinated, but with a fascination how different from his old passion. Theré was the same turn of the head, the same uplift- ing of the eyes he had bsen wont to think 80 graceful and sweet, the 'same sidelong motions of the body, which he had once law's, large preperty. He had tdlents,. and had once been devoted to his work, Dut now he seemed to for nothing but to make for himself the modest income which sufficed for his .

' How do you manage when you are at home I she asked, throwing back her head, and favoring Major Mou roe, U. 8. A, with a roll of her eyes not unlike that popularly ascribed to a duck in a thunder-storm. 'I have sustained myself with a pro- phetic hope of your arival,' said the major with a bow, and then he slipped out of the circle, and left a place vacant for Mr. Devine. Mrs. Armer's eyes fell upon Sydney, and her color deepened and her brightened. 'Oh, Mr. Devine! oh, Sydney! she said putting out a very pretty hand as she rose, dropping fan, flowers, and handker- chief for the studen's to pick up. ' Is this reelly you I' ¢ I believe it is,' said Mr. Devine, smil- ing, with perfect outward composure, though hia whole self was in a sort of whirl, wifh a rushing wreck of old associ- ations and memories going down into chaos and amidst them all, , awake after a sleep of years, seemed to stand wonder- ing at the destruction of her prison-house - confused and yet with a sense of relief and rising life that was delightful. 'It 'is such a lovely evening, "should 00 like to go out on the piassa,' said Mrs. Armer, with a rustle and sway of all her silken dra )eries. She hung on his arm ; she looked up appealingly into his face as she erossed the room ; she 'minced' as she went, in the manner that of old moved the ire of the prophet. Dr. Lyon looked after her as if he won- dered what sort of beast this might be that had come into his ark. Menango, as represented then and there, drew itself together a little; eo glances, and was inclined to think Armer 'mot nice." Mre.
