" ON THE sand!
I "Wrote on the niarne ofthe sea to-day,
A name to my heart most sweet; And the swift waves washed tho words away.
Ere the lino could stand complete. Then I cried to the Jealous j=ca. "Forbear
To mar what In love I trace! Thy signs are aronnd me everywhere;
(irant mine bul a Uttlo space, Forbear In ihv prUIe to dash the namo
I love from thv glitierlUB sand; 'Tis a little meea, 1 ask, of fame,
That ou thy brow It may stand."
And I wrote again, wilh eager haslo,
TUc name 1 had writ before; But my labor and lovo wero only waste.
On the shilling, sparkling shore.
Tbe sea, with a victor's mocking shout.
Marched over the sands again; And thepreclous name was trodden out,
Like a dream lhat dies iu pain.
And Hke the vanished trace on tho beach
Ofthe darling uame I wrote. The echoes wilt be ofmy tuneful speech.
As Into silence they float.
My song, at the sea. Is ended now,
„Aud leaves on Its sands no name,
God's lingers only furrow lt.s brow,
His breath lu ils voice is fame 1

THE LAST EVENDTG IN LEAP YEAR.
"Going out'.'"
The toue wm one so full qf .surprise lliutitiuiglit be .supposed, to hear it, mac 60tngoi?C «'na rather all aatoil/stl- ing event in tlie ilally routine of Kob¬ ert Seymour's life, or to leavo liis bus¬ iness (luring business hours.
" Yea," was tlie reply, while the old gentlenmn drew on a well-worn over¬ coat, .nud carefully brushed his rutiier shabby hat, " I shall bo ont foran hour or two. It ia a dull day, Fred, so you will probably have but little to do. .Sit¬ ters are uot apt to come in such gloomy weather.
" Are J-ou going far ?" not spoken as ifdicUited by mere curiosity, but in a voice full ofanectionate interest.
"As far as W Street.   I may be
detained, but r tllinl: I ea" return in two hours;" and, with a kindly nod, the old gentleniaii left the room.
Jt was, a.s he .said, gloomy weather ; a dull November dav, not raining, but cloudy, chilly, and i.isagrceable. Rob¬ ert .Seymour urew his overcoat closely aiounil him, and walked aa fast as his rather feeble frame would iiermit to¬ wards bis destination, iie was nil old man, to all appearance, and yet he seemed more broken by anxiety and care thau by the positive weight of years. His hair was white, his ligure, one tall and l.irge, shrunken and stoop¬ ing, and his large blue eyes, full of be¬ nevolence and kindness, were yet ilull aud wavering in expression.     As he
turned inlo \V Street his slop grew
slower and more irresolute, till he came to a large handsome house where he .stopped, looking behind hitn as if half inclined to turn b.ick again. The house before whieh he thus paused bore the marks that ill Philadelphia signify a recent bereavement. The shutters were boweil from tlie lowest to the highest story, and from each narrow aperture there streamed long broad bands of black crape; there was no sign of mourning upon the bell-handle, .so the funeral w.ts over, but the whole front of the house was dark and gloomy iu appearance, ilr. Seymour's hesitation lasted but a few moments, and, with a deep breath that was almost a sigh, he ascended the high broad marble steps and rang the door-bell. Aservantman opened the door, but in auswer to his inquiry, " Ls Miss Seymour at home ?" only stared vacantly at the speaker. With a little touch of impatience the question was rejieated.
"There is no one of that name lives here." " Is not thia Mrs. Connell's?" " Yes, sir.   She died, you know, last week.   Bliss Helen Couneil is the onlj' young lady here."
" Will vou tell her I wish to speak with her."
" I hardly think she will see j'ou, sir. She ain't seen a living soul since the old ladj' waa buried."
Mr. Seymour liesitated ; then taking a neat little card from his pocket-book, lie requested the man to carrj- that to his young miatresa, and followed him to the handsome drawing-room to await an answer.
The footman looked curiously at the card ; it bore the name " Bobert Sey¬ mour," and below that, " Pliotograph- ist," in small, neat type. "Wants to copj- the old lady's picture, I'll bct a dollar that Misa Helen won't see him."
Fortunately for his purse, no one was near to accept the hust wager, for Miss Helen, lookiug at the card, aent word to Mr. Seymour that she would be with him in a moment.
It waa not much longer when she en¬ tered the door of the room where ho sat waiting. He roac from his seat wh en she entered, and waited atanding, whilst ahe crossed the long room. His artist taste was filled and pleased while ho watched her, yet his kindly ej-es were full of sympathj-. She was so pale and sad, so very beautiful, with a dignified, graceful beauty rarely seen iu one so young. The tall slender figure in its close mourning dress was full of pliant grace, yet there were vitality aud ener¬ gy, too, in the sm.iU white hands now ]iressed closely together, in the erect carriage of the small head and tho firm footfall of the little slipjiered feet. Her eyes bore marks of excessive weeping, J-et even in their languor there w-ere resolution and will, and the expressive mouth closed, firmly showing decision ill its delicate curves. .She crossed the room slowly and gracefully, not paus¬ ing till ahe stood facing Mv. Seymour, when he saw she still held hia card in her bands.
Making tbis his inlroduclion, he said, gently: " Mj' name is not unfamiliar lo J-ou, I presume?"
She raotioneil him to resume his seat, and sat down herself before sbe replied, iu a low voice, musical and very plea¬ sant to hear: "Until a few days the name w-as a strauge ono to me, IMr. Seymour, but I have lately learneil that it i.s the onlj- one I have a. right lo claim."
" You were ignorant of this until a few daj-3 ago?" ho said, iua tone of surprise.
" Ye.s. I believed mj-self a niece of tho late Mra. Conneil."
" I trust," he said, gently, " that my visit here will not prove an intru.sion, but I understood you needed a friend and pi-oteutor, and I thought j'our fath- or'.s only brother might claim it aa his iirivilege to oiler lhat protection and— and afTection."
" Y^ou are very kind," she said, grate- fullj'. " I do indeed need friends; und yet, beyonil the mere fact that I am not, as I supposed, related to Mrs. Cou¬ ncil, and lhat no will of hers can be fouml, .so that I am left penniless, I know- nothing of mj- own position."
"Wliat I know is .soon told j-ou. Your mother ami Jfrs. Conneil were school-girl friends, companions in young lady pleasures and pursuits, and linally muvrieil gentlemen aa closely unlled lo each other by the ties of friendship as they were themselves. Mr.s. Connell's son, anil only child, I believe, was boni soon after her mar¬ riage; but it w-as nine long years bexl fore my brother had a cliild, and then J-our birth was followed in one sliort week by yonr mother's death. Jtrs. Conneil at ouce begged lo take you, pleading her love for your mother, her fondness for littlo children, and her own loneliness, forshe w-as theu a w-i- dow, and her son too old for babj- ca¬ resses and cares. Y'our father w-illing- ly gave you to her loving protection. I do uot know whether grief at the loss of a wife he Idolized unsettled my brotlier'8 intellect, but it is certain that soon after he began to neglect his busi¬ ness, until he became bankrupt, and witliiu two years followed liis wife to her grave, leaving you with Mrs. Con¬ neil, wbo promised to love you and provide for you as her own child."
She kept her promise faithrullv to the hourof her death."
"My brother," coutinued the old gentleman, " waa nearly twenty years younger than myself, and very, very dear to me. I could not but feel a ten¬ der interest in his child, perhaps in¬ creased by the fact that my own wife and five little ones lie side by side in the graveyard. Still I was content to watch you from my own humble sta¬ tion, glad to see you growing to beauty and happiness, without forcing myself npon your notice. Had Mra. Conneil lived, had you married, or been left wealthy, believe me, I should never have made myself known to you; but yesterday,  Mrs. ConAell's lawyer,  a]
mutual friend, told mo that you were left without any provision for your fu¬ ture; j-our friencf's son absent in Eu¬ rope, and, of course, in the absence of a will, heir to all his mother's prop¬ ertj'."
" It is all true."
"Then, my child, let meolferj-oua home. It will be a very humble one, for I am poor, and have no luxuries like these surrounding you, but it will give you shelter and protection and— and—need I say, a sincere fatlierly love. Give me an uncle's right, dear Helen, and perhaps iu time jou may give me a father's place in your heart."
The large tears stood in Helen's eyes as she placed her hand in her uncle's. " I was thinking of advertising for a situation as a teacher," she swd, for I havo no right to stay here. Jlr. 1 ut- nam, my aunt's law-j'cr, told me i had a right to my wardrobe, and there is something left of my last quarterly al¬ lowance after my mourning IS all paid for, so that I am not actually destitute; but I w-as verj- lonely and almost de¬ spairing when you came. It all seems so uew aud strange, ami I lovetl her so much. No mother's death could be a greater loss."
•' I know, dear child, I know. It will be a heavy sorrow for j-ou to bear, but there is One who comforts all sad liearts ready to help you bear your cross."
There w-as a moment of silence, both being too deeply moved to speak. Then Mr. Seymour rose. " When can you be ready for me to call and take you home'.'" he asked.
" Anj' time to-morrow."
" I will call, then, about two."
" r w-ill be roadj-." - Sho rosi.., tuo, now, and cumo to- hia side. One moment she looked wistful¬ ly into his eyes, now lilled with the most loving sympathy, and then tlie proud, graceful Head sank down upim his shoulder, and she lay passive as a wearj- child in his close embr.ace.
"Jfy dear child," he whispered, smoothing her glossy hair w-ith woman¬ ly tenderuess, " my dear Helen."
She lllll not wceii or soli as she laj* there, for over her poor sore heart there crept a sense of peace and comfort that slie had not krow-ii in all the dreary day of moi -ning. She had found a fa¬ tlier, aud a kind loving protector she felt he would prove. When at lastshe raised her face lo his, to bid liim fare¬ well, his heart swelled with grateful emotion tosee the quiet, peaceful look in her eyes, and mark Uow the lines of keen sorrow wero alreadj' softening round her lips and brow.
It was not williout manj' bitter tears, however, that Helen Seymour gather¬ ed together her personal ]iropertj' ])re- p.aratory to leaving the home which slie had entered when but one weok old. Uverj- object in her beautiful room seemed hers by right of the most lov¬ ing a-ssooiation. Every pajnling had been selected for her especial gratifica¬ tion and improvement, for slie had earlj' shown a talent for art that w-as encouraged by every loving device. Thoseofherown execution amongst tlic pietuies she felt she might take with her, biittho.se onlj-. It was a heavy daj-'s w-ork to select her own treasures from the many around her, but suusot found her all readj' lo start, and the next daj', in spito of the hitler parting slio had had witli theinaiiimateobjeets that made her home so precious, her uncle found hor cheerful and quite ready to take a sunny view- of her new life. Mr. Putnam accompanied Mr. Sej'inour to take po.ssesslon ofthe prop¬ erty until the return of the heir from Europe, and his first question to the startled girl was: "Why didn't you marry Herbert Couneil when he asked J-ou, .and avoid all this fuss ?"
Helen blushed, but, in .spite of her confusion, did not answer.
" Oh, I kuow all about it," said the oldl.iwyer; "a pretty pucker his moth¬ er was in to sec all petair-castles tumb¬ ling to pieces, for a girl's whim. And the young fellow had to go oir lo Eu¬ rope to cure his broken heart."
By this time Helen's self-jiossassion had returued to her. " His heart was not broken, Mr. Putnam," sue faid, with a touch of haughtiness in her voice. "It was his mother's w-ill, and not his heart that dictated hia proposal. We wore brother and sister, that waa all, and he wont to Europe quite heart whole—as far as I am concerned."
" And left you so"—
"Y'es, sir!"
"Demurely the girl .saj-ait. AVell, Seymour, j-ou have secured a treasure ; take good care of her. Good-bj-, Miss Helen; think sometimes of your old friends, and I will keep a lookout for that will. There w-as one, I know, for I drew it up; but Mrs. Conneil insisted upon keeping it herself, and I suppose made a bonfire of it, intending to have a new one."
"Then she did not forget me?"
"My dear child, ahe left j-ou this houso, everything in it, and fifty thou¬ sand dollars. The rest all goes to Her¬ bert."
" I am glad she remembered uie. It takes away the sting. I ean bear anj'- thing else, now- that I know it was not intentional on her part to leave me penniless. I am ready, uncle. Good- by, Mr. Putnam.", "Good-liy. I'll eotue tosee you soon." Something of tiie above conversation lingered on Eobert Sej'mour'a mind, for soon after tliey were seated in the carriage he had brought to lako liis niece home, liesaid:
" So Herbert Conneil wanted to mar-
who has lived with me and cooked for me for fortv yeain. Sho nursed my wife and cliildren in their last illne.ss, and we are bound together bj' ties of old association and friendshii). Hor nameis Mary Perkins. Theouly other member of my family is mj' assistant in the business, r'rederick Hastings, a struggling genius, a man with a great gifted aoul in a frail weak body, an ar¬ tist, in tho noblest senseof the word, full of loflj- aspirations, .slij' and sensi¬ tive as a girl, but one who wiil j-et rise above poverty and circuiuslaucos, and show the w-orld a groat artist. He lias a sister, a gentle young girl, who has taken the pains to mako your room habitable. Her nimble lingers have jn-ovided what my old wita overlooked. I w-ould like, Helen, dear, to have you know and love her, for there is some secret sorrow eating away her young life, although she makes no complaint. She is not lUi gifted as her brother, but a purer, swoeter spirit w-as never sent upon this cold world, than that in Susie Hastings' delicate little frame."
"I will love her," said Helen, w-ith emphasis.
"May I come in?"
Helen sprang to open tho door, and revealed alittlegracefulblondestanding waiting outside. In one moment the two young girls wero locked in a close embrace, while broken words of plea.s- ure, and loving repetitions of " Helen, dear!" "Susie, darling!" filled the room.
" Whj', you seem old friends!" cried imr.   " Y'ou did not tell me
ry J-ou?"
" His mother wished it, uncle. I may tell you without betraying confi¬ dence, that Herbert loveil acertain pair of blue eyes better than lie ever did my black ones; but the blue ej'es were own¬ ed bj' a little seamstress who worked for his mother, and all her aristocratic blood rebelled at theallianee. The blue eyes disappeared, and Herbert was half coaxed and half threatened into propo¬ sing to mo. I knew his secret, and re¬ fused him. And, uncle, I think that is the secret of the lost w-ill. Aunt Ma¬ ria w.as very aiigrj' fcr a time, and I think meant to make a new will, mak¬ ing our marriage some sortof condition in inheriting her property, or, if noth¬ ing more, making Herbert's share de¬ pend upon his renouncing his love for the little seamstress. Jfow he, at least, is rich and free. I hope he will return to Pliiladelphia aud find his lost love." "Lost-?"
"I told you she disappeared. .She was a timid, conscientious little girl, and I think Aunt Maria persuaded her that she would injure Herbert's pros¬ pects if she kept to his engagement." "Then thej' were engaged?" "Yes, exchanged rings, all in duo form."
" I wonder he consented td propose to you."
" Oh, that was a regular eoiispiraej'. I had promised not to accept him."
"Well, ,>vell! But it would have provideil for you." " Tired of me already, uncle ?" " Dear child, I woulil ask no greater happiness than to keep you by mj' side all your life. But—but, you are accus¬ tomed to luxuries"—
" See how well I can sjuio thom. Do , you kuow, dear uncle, my heart is so mucU iSsUtttf uiiiuo I know dear Aunt Maria intended to provide for me, tliat nothing can di.shearten me now. It was the pain of thinking myself forgot¬ ten, perhaps as having forfeited her love that grieved me ho deeplj-. Be¬ sides, am I not J'oung and stroug, able to help'j'ou, perhaps, uncle ? Y'ou have borne ' the heat and burdcnof the daj',' you have suflered heavy sorrow; who knows if God in his mercy has not or¬ dered all this, lhat in your old age you might have a living daughter to cheer and comfort you, whe:i in your noble kipdness you meantonly to protect and cherish her."
"He has been very gracious to his servant," said the old man, reverentlj-, " bnt that would be a crowning mercy. But here we are at home."
It touched Helen to the heart when her uncle led her to the room he had furnished for her, to see how much lov¬ ing care had been expended upon its arrangenient. True, the carpet w-as only ingrain, the furniture a simple cottage set, the curtains book muslin, but the colors in the cal pet were deli¬ cate and tasteful, the painted set match¬ ed it prettily, and the few engravings upon the wal is, the little vase of green¬ house flowers upon the table, tho pretty finish upon everything snoke of taste and refinement, and muca aflbctionate thought.
Helen's pleasure and thanks were warmly expressed.
"You must uot thank me for all, Helen," said her uncle; " I am afraid I should have left j-ou minus sheets, pillow-cases, rowels, and such trifles, ifl had not had an assistant. And, if you will sit down u moment, I will tell you about my little household." " Yei, tell me.-
Mr. Seymour.

" How-could Iguess j-our nieco, Helen Soymour, was my old friend Helen Con nell,whoin. I liave not aeen for two long years. Aud now, I do not nnder- stand"—
" Well, I will leavo you together for a long talk. Y'ou can show Jlelen whore everything is in theroom, Susie, and you w-ill stay to tea."
" Ifyou can keep Fred, hut you know I am his housekeeper."
" I will keep him," and the old gen¬ tleman went slowly down stairs to the room where he received his customers, pondering gravely upon this- a-stonisli- ing friendship, and wondering wliere Mrs. Connell's adopted daughter could have met his assistant's gentle little sister. Hu found Frederick Hastings busily engaged iu fiiiishiug off some photographs promised for that after¬ noon, and rather discouraged at the prospect of completing them, so he waa soon busily employed, and quite forgot the mysterious friendship.
it WJIS after dark, when the room waa closed for the day, and the littlo family lussembled for ten, in tho small dining- room behind the show-room. They formed a group well worthy the pencil hr an artist. The old gentleman, hand¬ some yet, in spite of his heut ligure and snowy huir; Frederick, with his tall, graceful figure, his large soul-lit eyes, fine features, and masses of black wavi ng hair; Helen, graceful and dignilied, beautiful as a dream, and the jiale, ex¬ quisitely pretty littlo Susie, with her drooping golden curls, and violet ej-es. Mary Perkins quite approved of the tea-party, audsigulfiod her approbation ill crisp biscuit, dainty cake, preserves that were as deep a crimson as rubies, and a dish of .stewed pigeons tliat might have tempted the most fitstidious epi¬ cure. Helen found herself facing her uncle, and presiding over a neat toa- traj', ami, .iccepting tlie position witli easy grace, quite won Mary's heart by remembering exactlj' for her uncle's second cup of te.i, how he liked tliu iii-st prepared.
The evening passed rapidly away in pleasant conversation, but after Helen retired lo her own room, it was not to sleep, but lo write a long lotter, which, when ready for the post, bore the ad¬ dress of her adopted brullier, Herbert Conneil, in Paria.
Itwas not Helen Seyniour's nature to sit dow-n qiiietl)'. a burden upou her uncle. Ho was not vory poor, but he made only enough for a modest estab- liahnient, and she knew oue more mouth to feed would be felt iu his lim¬ ited income. She had been but two days in her new home, when she came into the little room where Hobert Sej'¬ mour workcil, and put a small package of photograidi cards inlo his hands.
" Are tliej' well colored, uncle?" she iisked. " Exquisilely!   Whoso are they ?" "Thej- arc pictures of niy personal friends, colored by myself."
" They aro beautiful. Y'ou liavegiveii expres-sion and life to aome that are very poor iiietures."
"Do you have them colored here, uncle?"
".Sometimes, w-hen Frederick finds lime. But wc have not made a custom ofit."
" Will j-oii trust mc to do some speci¬ mens for the show-room, and let me help you by taking orders? Y'ou know the ivorj-tj'peabringr|Uiteagood price." " But whero did you learn to color ivory types?"
" Herbert learned photographing for amusement, and I went from step to step finisliing for him, till I attempted the ivorytype, and my friends assured mo with some success. I am verj- fond of painting, and if j-ou will give nie somo instructions, for I ara but an amateur, I think I can soon helpj-ou." "But, Helen, I did not briug you here to mako J-ou work."
" I shall be happier if j-ou will let me help J'OU."
" It required .some coaxing, however, to -win consent to the plan, but she did win it at last, and it w-as uot long be¬ fore the results began to be felt. A higli¬ er class of sitters came to tho little sliow-rooin, and where Frederick's fine finish and Helen's coloring were secu¬ red ill a picture, thero w-ere but few who hesitated to pay a good price for the likeness thus secured. Days and w-eeks glided away. Mr. Putnam came to .see Helen several times, bringing the iie-A-s that his letters to Herbert were lying in Paris, waiting that J'oung man's re¬ turn from an Easlern tour. He had started beforo the intelligence of his mother's death had reached J'aris, and there was nothing to do but wait his relurn in patience. Helen, however, generally received those reports with an expression of which patience was certainlj' not a component part.
" Can't his letters be forwarded?"she asked once; " he must come home." And Jlr. Putnam sagely decided tliat the J'OU ng lady was pining for velvet carpets and lace curtains once more, and wanted to reconsider tlio proposal of her rejected lover.
I have said  but littlo of Frederick Hastings, bnt lhe time ca.ne when  he began to havo a deep infinence ujion Helen Seymour's life. lUwas but natu¬ ral that the two young hearls,  both free, should feel the delight of a daily intercour.se where esich was gifted and anxious ti> make the Iiours pass swiftly and pleasantly.   The young artist wrs conscious of a new impulse giveu  to energies tlmt were drooping and de¬ spondent.   He had almost resolved to renounce the hope of being au artist, and was fast settling into the routineof Ills daily- business, with no ambition to j-iBO abovo Ilia   piesont  position,  when Helen Sej-mour came to lier uncle's. He knew hor iiistory, and a hot Hush of .shame rose to his brow,  as he .saw- how cheerfully she lifted tho burden in her white hands, whicii ho carried so heavily .nnd wearily.   His whole soul bo«-ed in admiration before the brave spirit, that,  reared in  luxurious idle¬ ness, could throw aside so brilliant a past, and smilingly accept so quiet and dull a future.   Every hour pa.ssed  by hcraiile strengthened his drooping reso¬ lutions, till a new light .shone iu his large eyes, his figure grew more erect, and a new spring camo into his step. And following this, a hope sprang up, faint and feeble at fii'st, day after day growing stronger, till itXilled his whole life. His admiration deepened inlo love, and then gloriouj visions rose for lhe future.     For Helen  he would win a name, for her he would make the worhl acknowledge  hia  power,   lor  iier he would seek wealth and fame; and when he had gained gold and honors he would come lo liour them out at her feet, and tell her of his  boundless love   And while he nursed his schemes, and fan¬ cied his secret hidden closely in li,isow-n breast, Helen was happily dreaming her first love dream.   Sheknewaswell as if it was printed in letters of flre upon his brow, the love that filled Frederick Hastings' heart. She was too woman I v, too frank and sincere to trifle with any heart, but she was happy ih her con¬ sciousness of his devotion, and she could not hido her pleasure in his jiresenee. She  made  no unraaidenlj' advances, butshe loved him, and happily till he came to sue for what was already his own.
A year and a month had passed away since the November day when Helen Seymour first aaw her uncle. Christmas was very near, when one morning Mr.
founding to all Mr. Sej-mour'a house¬ hold, crushing to one member of it.
HerbertConnellhad returned to Paris, found the lawyer's letters waiting him, and written to announce his own pos¬ session of the lost will.
" He will return at onee, Misa Helen," said Mr. Putnam, "and he begs that you will move into your own house without delaj', aud give him a welcom¬ ing party back to Philadelphia. The J'oung scamp writes as if some verj' happy news had reached him. I know him too well to think his mother's death Is forgotten, in tiie iiossession of his property, so I can only suppose there is a wedding iu jwosiiect. Eh, Miss Helen ?"
" You maj' safely pureh.ise a pair of white kid gloves," was tho grave re¬ ply, "and I promise j-ou a liberal slice of cake."
"Second thoughts :ire always thebest; don'tyou think so. Miss Helen?"
" Decidedlj'."
And chuckling over his own ppnc- tratlon, tho old lawyer took his leave, while Helen went with light, quick steps to find her uncle and Frederick.
It inaj' lower my heroine in the esti¬ mation of the strong minded to admit thatshe was intensely happy in her news. Slie had borne cheerfully the de¬ privation of tho luxuries of her old home, yet she was glad to think ofthelr restoration. Her uncle should work no more, but be her honored guest for the rest of Ills life, and Frederick—her heart throbbed highest at the thought of her lover. He coulil study now, un¬ trammelled bylaborfor his dally bread,, could visit Italy and find his happiness in his art in that land of artists. Every one of his refined tastes came into her meraorj' with the glad thought that in her hand would rest the power to grat¬ ify every fastidious taste and fancy. SI 8 had never in her whole life felt the de¬ licious happiness she experienced in that rapid walk from ilr. I'litman's side t) lier uncle's.
But over this sunshine rose a cloud, tinj' at first, but growing larger and deeper till hor whole pleasure was over¬ cast. Frederick was changed. He came no moro to seek her in the even¬ ing; he seemed totake no interest in the preparation for a return to W—-; he iivoidcd lier everywhere. And while her loving heart waa growing sick and sad over the change, Frederick was sinking rapidly into his old despon¬ dency. This heiress, this wealthy young ladj' of fashion was not his Hel¬ en, at whose feet ho could pour his hard-earned wealth and Iionor in the future. What would she care for the paltrj- sum he could ofler, when she had thousands at herown command ? What would the future ofa poor struggling artist be to her, when the noblest and wealthiest in the land would cluster In her magnificent dwelling? So the two loving hearts suflered apart in si¬ lence, until Helen felt as if her own would break when her uncle informed her that Frederick had decided to go to New Y'ork, and trj' to secure a position in apliotographing establishment there.
" Uncle Itobert, make him stay to the Jiarty; nia&o him stay for that," she pleaded. "Toll him he muat see theold J'ear out with us, and help us welcome Herbert. I must have Susie, too, for that evening; she has promis¬ ed, ajid she cannot come w'ithout her brother.
It w.as the last day of the old j'car, and evening had already closed in. The handsome house on W Street was

SARAH BAUMAN, oetI7-Ct*-iS Exeeutrl.v.
njien antl brilliantly lighted, for all Helen's old fricntis hiul accepted her invitation to herSTew Year's party. It w.as almost too early yet for the guests, but Helen was in the drawing-room dressed and impatient. Her dress of costly white lace over whito silk -was adorned with spnays of starry jasmine, wliilo on her throat, aud wrists, and in tile satiny folds of her dark hair dia¬ monds glittered like eyes of lire. She was somewhat flushed, and her eyes were restless, but this only added to hor beauty. Beside, her, palo and lovely, was iSusio H.astings, dressed also in wliite, but ouly an ine.\pen.sive tulle, fiLstened with clttstersof natur.al white llowers at tho bosom ami shoulders. No jewels were on her white throat and arms, but she wns lovely its a snow drop standing beside her more brilliant hostess. They had been but a moment in the drawing-room when Mr. Sey¬ mour, in a hainlBome evening dress, came in lutstili-. Helen sprang at once to meet liim. "Wiil he come?"
'* He is.in the library now. He says ho cannot join in the festivity of tho evening, but wishes to bi<l j'OU farewell before your guests assemble. Jlr. Con¬ neil has arrived, also, and is in his old room."
"Hewill find it all really for him. O, CJiiole Bobert, give me a God-speed on my errand."
Ho saw that she was .almost siukiiig with iigit.ation, so thouglit It better lo answer her with n jest. " Bemember Leap Year has only a few Iiours more to live."
"Leap Y'ear! I never thoughtof that. 11 is Leap Year." " Yes, for a few hours." Helen's face was" full of earnest pur¬ pose as she left her brilliant drawing- room, but once or twice a merry look of mischief, such as had been a stranger there since she inherited her money, crossed her lips. At the library door she paused a moment and looked at Frederick Hastings. He waa seated before a small table, his head resting on one Iiand, and it cut Helen to the heart to see how pale and worn was tho face she loved so fondly. Crossing the room 3he put her hand upon his shouldei^. " Erederick!"
He had uot heard her; but ho looked up now with a wiutry smile.
" Frederick," and now her voice was very earnest, " my uncle says you wish to bid rae farewell. If it must be so, I will say the word, but before it is spok¬ en tell mo, by tho memory of all the liappy hours we have passed together, | what 19 this clouit that has arisen be¬ tween J'OU and me ?"
In sight of her earnest face all his pride broke down, and he told liisl.ivc, his pride, liig despair in words broken and often confused, but clorjuent from the very force of feeling. She heard him with a happy smile till he had fin¬ ished his confession and lot his head fall U])ou his breast with a deep sigh¬ ing : " And now it is ail over."
" Yes, all over," she repeated. " All the doubt and suflering. Frederick, my own love, will you forco me to e.\- eiciso the Leap Y'ear privilege, and ask ynu lo take pity upon"my heart'?"
She might have said more, but .she was caught in such a close embrace that she could speak no more, only hide her face, while tears of quiet h'appiuess fill¬ ed her eyes. But a moment was allow¬ ed them, for a hasty step sounded in the hall, and then a tall, fine-looking young gentleman entered the library. Helen gave a cordial greeting to her adopteil brother, and then begging him to remain wiiere lie w.as for a moment, she sped with fleet steps to the draw- Ing-niom again. They had scarcely time to miss her when she was back again with Susie beside her.
" Herbert," she said, while her face beamed with pleasure, "I found your blue-eyed tre.asure for you ! Will you force her to exercise the Leap Year privilege, too ?"
But she was answered while she spoke, for Herbet's greeting showed no hesitation in accepting tlie bride his adopted sister had found for him.
Need I say more'' Frederick joinetl the party witli smiling grace, and it was not long before the house was open again for the guests invited to a double wedding.—Godj's Ladg's Book.

OF NKW YORK,
OFFERS the following inducements to in¬ surers :
1. The World Is a Mutual Company, aud therefore insures Its Policy-holders at cost- each Policy-holder sharing in Its surplus in* conic.
2. Ithasanunusually large gu.iranteeCapI- tjil—S2U0.0UO—paid lu and invested, for the addilional security of Pollcy-liolders; thus giving the Insured nil the advantages of a Stock Company with uoneof Its disadvantages.
'ti. Its Mutnal Premiums are lower tlian those charged by tho average of companies, and are auch as experience has proved to bo safest and most economical to tho Policy-holder.
4, ILs Non-Partlclpatlng rates are actually lower thau are charged by any other purely Life Company in the world.
ii. Ils business U transacted upon such a ba¬ sis as shall .sonuro its patrons licyond contin¬ gency, and its assets aro prudently and safely invested.
IJ. Its dividends are payable a7i»7iri//jy after tlm second year, thus giving every Policy¬ holder the beneilt of the surplus Income re¬ ceived during tlie year—not delaying him throe or live years—not approprlaiiug the pro- fftson his luoucy for throe or lour years to otliers. iu cnsQ he ceases to pay premiums, or In case of deatli.
7. Ji-s Dividends aro mado upon business principles. Each Policy-holder receives the benefftofe.ich payment, and of tho time his capit.al has l)een in the Company, precisely as every well-c<inductetl business house divides Its proffts among lt.s partners.
H. Thirty days* grace are allowed lu the pay¬ ment of renewal premiums.
il. Lossas are |>aid \n thirty days afler notice and satisfactory proofof death.
