Adelaide Jay silently in her hus- b nd’s arms, tne were, on the last evening, they had a sat together conversing so quietly wad bappily. She did not sigh or m suddenness of the biow seemed to have stunned her. Mr. Fletcher, longed to see her weep; but to bis tender words and in room very in, and the caresses she returned no reply save | a light presure of the hand. Occas- ionally a shudder would pass over her trame, but her eyes were bright and tearless. Suddenly the church ‘bell There were a few quick strokes, and then a pause then once—twice it sounded, and again-eased. Ade- laide had not, at first, seemed to notice the sound, but new she litted her head and listened sweetly. **Hark, Willis! tnat is fer Kate— the bell struck twice."* Presently in rapid succession, one stroke followed another until they had counted twenty-five. **Yes—she was twenty-flve vears old last month. Oh, my_ poor, peor Kate!’’ But still no tear moistened Adelaide’s cheek; her lias were parched, and her hands dry and burning. Then the bell tolled solemnly and slow, and as the low peal floated to their ears, tender and sadly sweet. the tears, that nad hitherto refused to flow, rose to Adelaide’e eyes, and rolled slowly down her cheeks. Willis clasped her still closer te his heart. a ‘“‘They are at rest, my Adelaide. Our Ged has taxen them, and He doeth all things well!’’ “1 know it—I knew it! But, oh, they are tolling for father now!’’ she exclaimed, starting up. Moth- er. father, sister—not one left!’’ Wills laid her gently onthe sofa. and stole out of the room. In a moment he returned. bearing their babe in his arms. Kneeling by her side, witnout speaking, he placed the little one on her breast, and it nestled closely in her bosom, smiling softly- Adelaide clasped both the child and ker husband’s hand te hei heart, with an exclamation of pas sionate love. “Oh, my husband! my little Kate! Twill not murmur or repine, while you are still left me! I thank Thee. oh, my God!" she contmued. ‘tha m the midst of wrath Thou hast re membered mercy!” The next day but pointed for the funeral.

His voice was so tremuious that the listeners bent cagerly forward te catch the sound as he announced his text—“There remaineth, therefore, a rest tor the people of -God!’’ There was not a dry eye im the house when he ceased speaking; and then, one by one, all. whe wish- ed to take a last look at the dead.

Mr. Fletcher and Adelaida mained in Middleburg a few weeks, re- home. Mr. Lindsley’s heart and hand had j ever been open as the day, and he had always lived liberally, though not extravagantly. After the set- tlement of his affairs but little _re- mained except the house where he had lived ever since his marriage; and that, Mr. Fletcher declared, should never pass into the hands otf strangers’ . We willfind some good man and woman who will be willing to occu- py the back part of the house, Ada, and take care of the rest of :t; then when we want to come here we shall not have to ask leave of any one.’’ Ada’s teartul yet pleased assen' tothe preposition told him how oainful had been the thought of yielding the occupancy of the dear old rooms to these who could not revere the associations that tor her, clung round each window and door- way; and she turned away with a comparatively light heart when she theught that she might return when she would find all things m_ thei accustomed places. ‘Lhree years passed swiftly away, Little Kate has hecomea marvel ot beauty and loveliness in the eyes o her fond parents. amd Adelaide often sighed when she thought wha a pet she would have beer with her grandpa and her Aunt Kate; Whllis tairly worshipped her, and th child returned his love with enthu- siastic fondness. **Here, Ada,’’ said Mr. Fletcher. one morning, as he entered hi: wite’s dressing-reom and threw some cards down on on the table, ‘there are invitations for a party given in honor ot Edward Greyson and his bride, who are te be in own next week. I really wish tha: you would lay aside your mourning and go; will you, love? You know Ned is an old friend of mine, and } would like to show him some. atten- tion "” “I will do so, certainly, if you wish it, Willis: Ido not need thes sable garments to remind me ef my dear father and Kate,’’ and her lip: quivered as she glanced at her black robes. “I know it, my dear Adelaide; your true heart has, never needec fhem, and it will really gratify me very much if you will go to this party. You wil'need a new dress tor the occasion, I suppose. Every hing that you have must be out of date by this time. “Ol, entireiy—I have nothing that is wearable. But suppose you give me the benefit of yeur taste as well as your purse,”* she continued, laughingiy, as ter husband threw the last mentioned article inte her lap. ‘*What shall it be?’ “Oh, I don’t know any- thing about such things: only don’t wear white.’”* “Why net? White pretty and becoming.”’ 18 always “Yes, and for that very reason two thirds of che women in the room will be arraved in ee } Theevening amved, ana wnen Be came down te the parlor where her husband was waiting for | her, he thought he had’ never seen her loek so lovely.

Her their long sweepihg fringes, were as deep and resplendent 2s ever, and there wus somewhat more grace ad- ded to the usual dignity of her bear Her luxuriant hair, arranged as usually were it, in neh, ‘glossy braids forming « natural cor- eves, with ing. she onet, was entirely without ornament. A rebe of ruby velvet, simply | re- lieved at the throat by a fall ef cost- | ly lace and fastened by a small dia- | mend pin, fitted exquisitely her tall | the loose ' and graceful form, and | hanging sleeves were looped up by} | diamond clasps, leaving her white | and rounded arms uncovered, and in | | beautiful contrast to the rich, dark | hue of her dress. “Well, Ada, either yeur dress | to-night becomes you wonderfully,” said Mr. Fletcher, after surveying | her a momentin silence, ‘or else | yen are very becoming to the dress; | which is it?’’ i “That is too momeuteus a ques- | tion tu be decided without due re-| flection,’’ replied Ada, with a gay laugh; ‘‘though provided the effect | is the same, I don’t know as it is ot | much consequence’ atter all. So | vou like my dress, do you?’” ‘Very much; but I have a tnfiing addition to make to if.’ And open- | ing a small casket that lay upon the rable beside him, he lifted a mag- | tificent bracelet from it bed ot white satin, and clasped it upen his wife’s arm. “There, now we'll go;’’ and, stopping her thanks with half a lozen kisses, he wrapped her cash- nere carefully about her and placed her in the carriage. The reoms were threnged, and tfter the first half heur, Adelaide scarcely saw her husband until quite iate in the evening. Then, as sne nappened to be standing directly be- 1eath one of the massive chandeliers in the music room, careless- iy turning ovar some new songs, he tpproached and addressed her ina tow tene. *‘Ada, who can that gentlemen »e—the one who 1s leaning agaist he mantle in the drawing room? He has hardly turned his eyes away rom you tke last quarterotan hour. dis countemance looks famihar, and Lam sure I have seen him before, nut Icannot imagine where.’’ Adelaide raised her eyes without noving, and, directly before her, al- hough not im the same apartment, stood George Tilden. She recog- tized him instantly, and, in spite of every ettort to prevent it, a burning »alush mounted to her very forehead At the same momert, the gentleman } perceiving he was observed, turnea carelessly away. -*Why, who is it, Ada?) Anyone xe know? or ought to know, I should say, for I am betraying my tgnorance Adamade some _ evas- ve reply, and, then contusedly say- ng something about wishing to speak to a friend who was passing, she hastily jomed the lady in ques- tion. Mr. Fletcher looked after her a moment in astonishment. The flood of light trom the chandelier had ‘allen directly upon her, andhe could not help noticing her start of surprise and her heightened color. Then, with a half smile, he thought, ‘-Ada has mingled so littlein society latelv that she has grown as timid and as easily embarrassed as a school iri. [ must not let her seclude herself so any more.’’ And, seeing that she was earnestly talking with with Mrs. Wilson, he turned toward 2 group of friends who were chatting ata uttle distance. Mrs. Wilson. and Mrs. Fletcher passed slowly into another room, and as seon as the fatter could find | an excuse for so doing she disengag- | ed herselt from her companion.
