All that had gone before, all the waiting and hoping, and the fearing; all the loneliness and suspense, were nothing to the terrible cortainty that Harry did not love me, to the misery of seeing my darling Effie engrossing the bean that I thought was my own. For day a I tea day passed by, and though we knew that Harry had urgent business in New York, still he lingered In the village, and seemed entranced by Effie. They spent long hours together wandering through the woods and lanes, and Effie's eyes grew brighter and her steps even lighter than before, as she tripped by Harry's side. To me, be wss always kind, as a brother might be, always gentle, and considerate, and tender, but oh ! ten thousand times rather have him hate me, I thought. But I made up my mind that I could bear it, for Effie was very, very dear to me, and Harry ! Oh, if he was happy, I could learn to be contented. — Ten days passed away—they seemed like ten years to me—and then Harry said he must go. I wondered if he had asked Effie to marry him yet. I would not have my darling suffer as I had done, through uncertainty. But she did not say a word to me about it, and so I feared all was not settled between them. Feared? or hoped ? I questioned myself. Alas ! One moment I feared, and the next hoped. I longed to have him go, I thought 1 should be stronger when I could not hsar his voice or see those brown eyes, that never looked but in kindness upon me. Well! The oandy was spoilt that time, for Effie came running in in a hurry to see if the house was on fire,'snd there was the molassas running all over the stove. One glance at Harry and me, however was enough for her. With a cry of joy she sprang to us. CANDY PULLING. JEWELRY STORE!'

Ah, well! it's only ten years ago, after all, but it seems to me as if it was fifty! The night before Harry sailed for China we had a farewell frolic.

Oh, how I loved the child! Sver since her mother died, when she was a wee thing of four years, I had had the charge f ber. I was five yeart older, and had taught her all she knew. Every night of her life the had slept with her arms around my neck' and in the first long, weary nights after Harry left,that little golden head, lyingao peacefully on my troubled heart, had been balm toall my sorrow. It was a comfort, too, to know that the ehtld loved Harry, for, though I rarely Mentioned hit name, it waa pleasant to hear her prattling about him, recalling little kindnetsea he had ahown her, reading the books he had given her, and hanging up evergreena at Christmas over hit picture, which she kept hung in our room, next to mother's. But'dearly aa I loved Effie, I never told her my secret The object of my life was to prevent others knowing I loved Harry ; lor I was proud then, and it would have killed me to be laughed at or pitied for loving a man who had never said he loved me. "Why had be not said so to me?" I asked myself a hundred times, and then I would remember those few words about his poverty, and, in my heart, I knew r Harry was proud, too; and I knew well enough thtt he never would owe hit living to his wife. I was called rich in our village, for, though we lived limply enough, it was well known that father had laid up enough to portion his two daughters handsomely. I used to think the young men wanted my money, and that waa half the reason I treated them as I did. So I was called a flirt, and maybe I was; but I had not suffered enough in those days to care much about other's troubles. *' Rand, howell & king, [Successors to Smith Bros.,] CELEBRATED XX AND XXXX ALES, UNRIVALED CREAM ALES, Manufactured from THE BEST OF MALT AND HOPS.
