ITIKSTAND & K, M- KLINE, Kdltors and Proprletora, A STOBY. I bad a pet nepUe'n', John Cr.yilon, and a Uear frieud, JcKsie Graliiim. JS^ow, I am not a bit of a match-m.aker, but, loving tliese two people so ilearly, it was but natural that I should wish to bave tbem uear me. This was a plea¬ sure I seldom eujoyed, for Jessie was teaching in oue of the city schools, and it was only for tbe brief vacations tliat I eonld claim her. John, too, was book¬ keeper in a large mercantile house, and his visits to " The Farns," as I called my liome, were rare. By dint of much strategy, I had succeeded in securing tbem both for the Christmas holidays; aud iu order tliat tbcy might not be lonely, I invited a host of nephews and nieces to meet tliera. For Christmas Eve, we had dancing, games, tableaux, and, to crown all, an immense tree, la¬ den with gifts for all present. It did my old heart good to hear tlie jo\'oua laughter ringing through the quiet liall, aud to w.iteli the liiir forms and briglit faces tbat brought before me so vividly tho scenes of my own yo.ith; but most of all, I loved to look at.Tes- sie, and fur the first time I beg.in to speculate a little upon the probability ofmy liaving, some day, a better right to her love than I thou possessed, if she aud John would only lovo each other. The idea once lodged in my brain, it was impo-sailde for me to tbiiik of auy¬ thing else, and I turned lo look for tbem, hoiMug tosee something which .".liotild conlirm wliat S so ardently de¬ sired. I found thom sitting in au al¬ cove, Jessie, as nsual, burroiiinieil with friends, for she was a general favorite. I do uot know what "ihey had been talking about, but, just as I joined them, I heard her say distinctly— "Tbeio is novice for whieh I havo sncli an utter abliorrenee, as tliat of drunkenness, and I am convinced 1 sliould lose every particle of respect for a man, having onee seen him intoxica¬ ted." "But surely," urged oue, " no gen¬ tleman would venture into the society of ladies, while iu sucli a condition." "Kevertliele.«5," answered Jessie, " I have seen gentlemen at parties, who, if not actually intoxicated, were at loiust, so far uuder the iulluence of liquor, as to be iinconseioiis of their words and deeds." *' .'Vnd whose hands oflered the wines. Miss Graham'!" " I underslanil you," w.as tho low re¬ ply; "but, admit thai dainty fingers ofler tbe cup, and bright eyes challenge you to quaii'its contents, do you wish mo to believe that a man has not sulli¬ cient tirmness to resist the temptation ? What bas become of your boasted de¬ cision of character, aud tbe strength of purpose upon whicii you pride your¬ selves? No, uo, Mn Lawrence ; be honest enough to confess that the fault lies in your own weakness." John had been leaning over tho back ofher chair, aud just then I chanced tn look up at him. Tlie crimson torrent rushed to bis face, tlien as suddenly re¬ ceded, leaviug a grayish pallor about his mouth, while tbo baud that rested on the chair actually trembled. I was too. frightened to speak. Suddenly, there flashed across my mind a recol¬ lection of some vague rumors I had heard concerning John's intemperate habits. I had never lieeded them, be¬ lieving th.^m to be utterly false. But now—what hut a consciousness of guilt anil shame could have caused that va¬ rying color? I grew sick at heart, aud silently leaving the group, I hurried up to my owu room, that I might be alone to think. .\las! all the joy of that bright Christmas time had vanished, leaving in its stead, a great sorrow tbat must be borne alone aud in silence. I watched John closely after this, and al¬ though wiue was repeatedly oflfered to him, lie invariably refused it; so I con¬ cluded that, after all, I had been mis¬ taken, aud caused myself a great deal of unnecessary suflering. At the close of the holidays, my guests returued to their homes; but on the last morning, Johu came, looking proud and happy, to tell me that, be¬ fore another Oliristmas, he and Jessie were to be married. Jessie, too, came into the library while we were there, and we passed the entire morniug in forming bright plans for the future. Jessie was to go bacli to school until the summer vacation, wheu slie would return to " The Ferns," aud would re¬ main with me until her marriage, which was to take place iu October. I bade tliem good-by with a light heart, the parting robbed of its bitterness by the liope of a speetly re-union. Mean¬ time, I was not idle. My fortune was large, and my wants few. Instead of leaving my property to be disposed of after my death, I chose to be my own executor, and enjoy tlie greatest luxu¬ ry which wealth can afTord—the bless- ednei-s of giving. As it was necessary for John to live iu tho city, I decided to give Jessie, as a bridal present, a house in Fourteenth street, whicii had lately come iuto my possession. I went dowu to IS'ew York some time in July, to see my agent about having the bouse put in perfect order, and handsomely furnished ; but my llrst c.tll was upon Jessie, whom I found looking thin, and paler, I fancied, thau at Christmas. I remained nutil her school closed, and then took her liome witb me. On tbe last day of my visit, we weut througii the house, to see if Jessie could suggest any improvement in thearrangements; but she seemed perfectly delighted, and was more like Iier old, cheerful, happy self, than I hail seen her before. Sbe peeped into tlie china closet, saying, with a laugh, that if she "liad a weak¬ ness, it was for a handsome table-ser¬ vice." "Pronounce judgment upon tliese, then," I answered, as I held before her a .set of decanters and wine-glasses. I displayed them, wilh pardonable vani¬ ty, for tbe design was rare, and the workmanship exquisite; aud remem¬ bering my darling's ilainty taste, I had been at great pains to procure them. I was uot a little disappointed, therefore, to hcar her say, quietly, that "they were very beautiful, but sbe should ' never use tlicm." " Whv not ?" I asked witli .some sur¬ prise. "Because, Aunty, I long .ago deter¬ mined that tbere sliould never be a glass of liqnor in any house of which I was the mistress." I knew Jessie to bo iiu advocate of the temperance cause, but never sup¬ posed she would allow ils principles to influence her to such a degree. "Kousense," I replied. "You are getting to be a regular fanalic upon that subject; tliere is no liariu in an occasional indulgeucc." "Aunty," and the delicate mouth quivered, while the tones of her voice were liard and bitter, "my fatlier com¬ mitted suicide in a lit of delirhtm tre¬ mens, my motlier died broken-hearted, and an only brother sleeps in a drunk¬ ard's grave. Do you wouder at my fa¬ naticism?" " Does Jobn know this ?" I inquired. She drew hei-self up proudly, aud an¬ swered— '' I have no secrets from liim." "And is he willing to banish wine from his table?" I continued. "Quiteso; aud, more thau tliat, he has promised liever again to touch it himself." "Why, Jessie!" I exclaimed, "is it possible tbat you have made a temper¬ ance mail of him? I liave so often heard him declare that no earthly power could iuduce him to sign the pledge. Y'ou must be a magiciau." "Xot quite, for he has not done that; liis iiromise was given to me; and tho only magician is Love," she added, softly. I do not know what made me say it, but the words came unbidden, and were uttered without thought—" .Sup¬ pose he should fail to keep his word." " Then God pity me, for be is father and mother, brother and sister to me— all that I bave upon earlh." "But, surely, Jessie, you would not give hiin up just for tliat." A dreary, hopeless look filled tho brown eyes, but the lines about her mouth were lirm, and tbe sweet voice never faltered, as she replied—He must elioose for himself." I said no more, satisfied tliat words were useless, aud we finished our tour of iuspestion in silence. Tlie next day found us once more at "Tho Ferns;" and in the busy days that followed, we had neither time nor inclination to touch upon a theme so painful. The wedding-day dawned bright and beautiful, one of those love¬ ly October days that seemed to have strayed down to earth from Paradise. The oeremon.y was to be performed iu the little old-"fashioned church, aud im¬ mediately after they wero to start for Washington. In comjiliance with Jes¬ sie's wish, very few invitations had been issued. I petitioned, for a large party, but fiaally yielded, and consol¬ ed myself with thoughts of the grand reception which would follow their re¬ turn, for, although I was no longer young I dearly loved to seepeople hap¬ py. John came up the night before, and called me into his room to ex.im- ine his present to Jessie, an exquisite pin of pearls, set in frosted gold. While there, I noticed his dreasing-casoopon, ami in one of tho compartments a trav¬ eling flask. I picked it up. " What is this, Jolm?" "Brandy,- was tne laconic answer. I tliought of Jessie, and instantly look¬ ed grave. He noticed it, and contin¬ ued with a smile—" It has not been open in five months, for I suppose you know I am under orders now." " Yes, I kuow, but why do you Iicep it here, ifyou never nse it?" " Well, the case and contents were a present; aud besides, I like to test my own strength, by keeping it always witliin reach, yet never yielding to tbe temptation, for it is such, sometimes," lie adiled in a lower tone. "T.ikeoare, John," I urged. "Ko- mcmber that human nature is but a frail thing to trust to, and how can yon pray lo he kept from temptation, yet hourly subject yourself to such a trial." " Isn't it woith somolbing to know that f can resist?" I sliook my head doubtfully, but said nothing. Je-ssie roLired to her room early, complaining of o severe head¬ ache, and as I was qnite busy, John de¬ cided to riile over'to the village. I charged him with a few commissions, not vory iiniwrtant. but wliieh he prom¬ ised, nevertheless, should be faithfully attended to, and bade him good-night. I did not hear him come liome, but happening to be awake at a long time past midiii.gbt, I lieard him pacing the lloor of his room Willi a quielr, impa¬ tient step. At first I was alarmed, bnt (inally concluded bo was only a little nervous iu anticiputinn of coming events. When I wont down stairs in tlie morning, 1 found him on the piaz¬ za, smoking. "Good-morning," I said. "Did .you have a pleasant ri'ile, and wherearo my packages?" He Hung awny his cigar, and, came toward me, looking jiale and liaggaiil, with a licavy look aliout his eyes, that plainly indicated a sleeplesi night—" I am sorry, Annty, I quite forgot tliem," lie began, but I interrtqited him. "What is the matter, John? Are you ill? Yon look wretchedly." "Do I?" he said absently, "t be¬ lieve I am not feeliug quite well." "You believe!" I repeated. "Seo how your baud trembles, and yon must have" been up all iiiglit. Let me get you something immediately. What will you have?" "iS'othing, thank .yon; I dares.ay I shall be better alter broalcfast; a cup of coflbe will steady my nerves," he re¬ plied with a litlie laugh. Jessie diil not come down to break¬ fast, and as soon as the meal was over, I went up to her room. I had sent up a tray with eoflee and toast, aud was surprised to see it untouched, wliile Jessie lay on the Jotmge, pale nn.l lan¬ guid. Slie started up, and witli a faint attempt at a laugh, said—" la it time to dress, and bavo .you como to scold me for my laziness?" "You liave time enough, dear; but how is this-no breakfast?" "Oil! Iam not hungry this morn¬ ing. Indeed," she added, afterapuuse, " I do not know wli.y it is, but I feel so strangely, asif something terrible was about to happen ; were I at all inclined to be superstitious, I siiould call it a presentiment." "Nonsense!" I interrupted. "What terrible calamity can possibly befall you on this, ofall days? Dismiss from your mind all such iiile fancies; or, if you must have a presentiment, let it bo "of coming joy. I will leave you now to dress, and when I como again, let me find you looking beautiful and happy, as becomes a bride." Jessie blushed through her tears, and kissing ber tenderly, 1 loft her alone. Two hours later I returned, and found that she had strictl,v obeyed my parting injunction. Slie wore a heavy while silk; her veil, pure and soft, floated about her like a cloud, and in place of tears, were bright, joyous smiles. " Well, little snow-drop, aro you ready ?" " I believe so." " Come then ;" and together we went down to the library, where Johu was waiting us. " Punctual to the moment," he said, looking at his watch, and coming to meet us. " Shall we start immediately and disappoint the minister and tlie people by being on time?" I wondered that he did not wait to admire .Tessic, or even to exchange a few fond words, but supposed bis impa¬ tience w.as allowable underthe eircuin- stauees. Passing through the vestibule of the church, Jessie's dress cauglit on a nail. Wc were detained but a mo¬ ment, yet I distinctly heard young Gleason, >vho stood by the door, say to a friend—" Brydon was ou a jolly spree last night; went liome at midnight, half tight." I started. Could thei", too, have heard him? One glanceconvinced me. Every vestige of color fadeil from Jes¬ sie's face, Willie from John's eyes there shot an angry, defiant look, as he hur¬ ried her, almost rudely, into the church and up tlie aisle. The minister was waiting, and immediately commenceil tbe ceremony. John's responses was clear and tirm ; but I listened in breath¬ less suspense, when the momentous question was addressed to the bride. Sbe hesitated au instant, then draw¬ ing away ber hand, .said distinctly—"I will not,'—then, with a pleading look at John, she added—"Take me home." He led her to the carriage, and I fol¬ lowed. Consternation and amazement were depicted on every countenance. 1, alone, was not surprised ; l;had fear¬ ed this denouement. We rode home iu perfect silence. As we entered the house, Jessie turned to Jobn and said —" You believe tliat I have this day publicly insulted and disgraced you. Prove that you bave not deceived me, that your promise bas been faithfully kept, and! will make anv reparation in my power, no mailer Imw humili¬ ating it may be." "1 cannot," he replied. "Instead, let me make confession." Then he told her how he had met some friends the night before, and after enduring every possible lauut aud ridicule, had, in a moment of passion, yielded, and s\fal- lowed a gl.ass of wine. Jlore followed, and, as Harry Gleason said, he return¬ ed home more tliau half-intoxicated, yet sober enough to realize what he had done. He did not close his eyes in sleep that niglit. More than ouce he was tempted to acknowledso everything, trusting to her love and cliarity for for¬ giveness. But if slie refused—could he give her .up at the very last moment? No, he could uot, lie would keep tliis secret, at least until she was his own, liis wife; theu, perliaps, he would have tbe courage to confess It. Ke acknowl¬ edged that he had acted dishonorably, and that the retribution was a just oue, in so far as the punishment ieil upon himself alone. The hardest thing to eiiuure would botUo oonscionsiiess that he had crabiltered her life, and perhaps broken her heart. " I will uotask your forgiveness," lie said, " I have not do- served it; bnt if you can onee more place c.inlidenee in one who has proved himself so nnwortliy, trust mo, the time will yet come wlien I may at least claim your respect, although your love may be forever lost." He paused, and then exclaimed passionately—"Jessie, my darling, will you let me go from you forever, without one word?" " No, John," and she laid botli hands in his; "the forgiveness you were too proud to ask, I freely ofler you. I do not utterly condemn you for one fault; but oh, John! svith all the recollections ofmy childhood to waru me, I could uot act otherwise. I do trust you, and believe, in my heart, tbat some day I shall be proud to own that I loved and was beloved by you." She withdrew her hands and turned away, but he clasped her to his beart ina passionate embrace, kissod her once—aud was gone. The next week he sailed for Europe. The firm he was with liad long employ¬ ed a resident clerk in Paris, aud learn¬ ing from John his desire to go abroad, they ofl'erei! the position to him. Jessie went toOhio to visit an aunt, and short¬ ly after ber arrival tbere, entered a sem¬ inary as music-teacher. Four times had Christmas come and gone since their departure, and on the quiet room, musing wilh a.sad heart, over the past. A knock startled rae from my painful revery, and a servant entered with a card—" John Brydon." I hurried down stairs and found him in the library. He was sadly altered. I tried to welcome liiiu, but tears choked the words I attempled to speak. " My dear John." " My precious old aunty." After a while he lold me the story of the jiast five j-ears. How he had work¬ ed diligently and v.ell, lihtil ho had; risen to a partnership in the firm, and nlrcad.v possessed a handsome fortune ; hut a loreign climate, intense applica¬ tion to business, and above all, the ab¬ sence of the dear familiar faces, began to impair his health, aud he came back to recruit. " Isball be bettersoon," ho said, " now that I am once more at home, fori beliove that after all I am only home-sick." He laid his liead over in my lap, and I smoolhed tho dark hair, which was already faintly threaded with silver, while he told me incidents of foreign life and tr.avel, un¬ til the gray light in the east heralded the dawning of another Christmas- morn. All that rest, and earo, and the tenderest love, could do for him, seem¬ ed vain. His step grew more languid, his checic paler and thinner. Even the balmy air of sjiring brougiit no strengtii to the wasted franie, no color to the hollow cheek, nnd by the middle of Jlay he was unable to leave his room. Then,'for the first time, he consented to see a physician. The good old doc¬ tor looked very grave, and I followed iiim from the room. "There is no actual disease," liesaid; "only a gradual wasting away of the whi)les.ysteni;" and bc])rescriuedstim¬ ulants, whicii John resolutely refused to touch. Iw vain I urged the doctor's orders, and lold him he would certaiuly die unless he obeyed them. " Die I must, then, if there is no otli¬ er alternative. I have never tasted liquor since that night," he .said, withashud- der, "and, please God, I never will. After I am dead, will you tell Jessie that this time I liave been true to m.v promise, and have proved lhat I would rather die than pain hor the second time ?" "Don't, don't, John ! Tenunot bear to hear you talk so," I cried. " .Tessic never loved you, or she would not have given you up for one single fault." "Never loved me! "he repeated. "Oil, do not take that comfort from mc! it is theouly thought that has cheered or encouraged meduring the last five years; ynu will not rob me of my oue consola¬ tion?" .Tust then a thought occurred tome— I wonder it never suggested itself be¬ fore, but I was uever iiuick-witteil, and old age is not apt to increase one's men¬ tal faculties—I would write to Jessie, tell her how manlully he had borne this last trial; how, in all the long years of probation, pa-isod "amid stran¬ gers and in a strange laud," ho had bravely met antl overcome every temp- lation;aiid, aliove all, th.at his true, faithful heart was still loyal to her. I did write. I lold herall this, aud more ; lliat lie was slowly dying, aud slie alone could .save him. "Come at ouce," I said, " for all other help has failed mo." How anxiously I waited for a reply. Would she come, or had she ceased to love him, and amid other scenes, sur¬ rounded b,v new friends, forgotten the loyal heart that had never ceased to cherish her inemor.y. A. week poaded slowly. Standing by the window, just at twiligiit, I saw a carriage drive up tbe lane, and a slender figure alight. In one moment Jessie wiis^in my arms. " Wliere is he. Aunty ? Oh, lake me to him !" she pleaded. " Not uow," 1 said ; " .you are coo o.x- ciled. Come with me;" aud I took her to my own room, brought fresh, cool water to bathe her Icur-staiiied face, aud gently soothed her unlil she be¬ came quiet. She exchanged her dusty dress for a cool wrapper, and then cross- the hall to John's room. I opeued the doorsoftly. He was lying with closed eyes, audi molioned her to enter. She crossed the room with a noiseless step, and knelt beside him. He opened his eyes, looked at her a moment, then drew her face hesitle his own and mur¬ mured—"My owu darling! T had not dared to hope for this; it will be easier to die now." " No, no, .Tohn, you must not talk of •lying ; .you will live, live tor me," she said, eagerly. I came away; llie.y Avould not miss me, and it seemed like desecration to remain. He did live. Slowl.v, but surely, health and strength returned. In two weeks tlicy were married—.Tcssie con¬ senting to the arrangement because, as his wife, she could care for him so much betler. To-day he is a strong, robust man, with an idolized wife and two merry, laughing ehildrcn. My story is done. It has been lolil ina simple, old-fashioued manner, but llic moral is plain.

Kdltors and Proprletora,
A STOBY.
I bad a pet nepUe'n', John Cr.yilon, and a Uear frieud, JcKsie Graliiim. JS^ow, I am not a bit of a match-m.aker, but, loving tliese two people so ilearly, it was but natural that I should wish to bave tbem uear me. This was a plea¬ sure I seldom eujoyed, for Jessie was teaching in oue of the city schools, and it was only for tbe brief vacations tliat I eonld claim her. John, too, was book¬ keeper in a large mercantile house, and his visits to " The Farns," as I called my liome, were rare. By dint of much strategy, I had succeeded in securing tbem both for the Christmas holidays; aud iu order tliat tbcy might not be lonely, I invited a host of nephews and nieces to meet tliera. For Christmas Eve, we had dancing, games, tableaux, and, to crown all, an immense tree, la¬ den with gifts for all present. It did my old heart good to hear tlie jo\'oua laughter ringing through the quiet liall, aud to w.iteli the liiir forms and briglit faces tbat brought before me so vividly tho scenes of my own yo.ith; but most of all, I loved to look at.Tes- sie, and fur the first time I beg.in to speculate a little upon the probability ofmy liaving, some day, a better right to her love than I thou possessed, if she aud John would only lovo each other. The idea once lodged in my brain, it was impo-sailde for me to tbiiik of auy¬ thing else, and I turned lo look for tbem, hoiMug tosee something which .".liotild conlirm wliat S so ardently de¬ sired. I found thom sitting in au al¬ cove, Jessie, as nsual, burroiiinieil with friends, for she was a general favorite. I do uot know what "ihey had been talking about, but, just as I joined them, I heard her say distinctly— "Tbeio is novice for whieh I havo sncli an utter abliorrenee, as tliat of drunkenness, and I am convinced 1 sliould lose every particle of respect for a man, having onee seen him intoxica¬ ted."
"But surely," urged oue, " no gen¬ tleman would venture into the society of ladies, while iu sucli a condition."
"Kevertliele.«5," answered Jessie, " I have seen gentlemen at parties, who, if not actually intoxicated, were at loiust, so far uuder the iulluence of liquor, as to be iinconseioiis of their words and deeds."
*' .'Vnd whose hands oflered the wines. Miss Graham'!"
" I underslanil you," w.as tho low re¬ ply; "but, admit thai dainty fingers ofler tbe cup, and bright eyes challenge you to quaii'its contents, do you wish mo to believe that a man has not sulli¬ cient tirmness to resist the temptation ? What bas become of your boasted de¬ cision of character, aud tbe strength of purpose upon whicii you pride your¬ selves? No, uo, Mn Lawrence ; be honest enough to confess that the fault lies in your own weakness."
John had been leaning over tho back ofher chair, aud just then I chanced tn look up at him. Tlie crimson torrent rushed to bis face, tlien as suddenly re¬ ceded, leaviug a grayish pallor about his mouth, while tbo baud that rested on the chair actually trembled. I was too. frightened to speak. Suddenly, there flashed across my mind a recol¬ lection of some vague rumors I had heard concerning John's intemperate habits. I had never lieeded them, be¬ lieving th.^m to be utterly false. But now—what hut a consciousness of guilt anil shame could have caused that va¬ rying color? I grew sick at heart, aud silently leaving the group, I hurried up to my owu room, that I might be alone to think. .\las! all the joy of that bright Christmas time had vanished, leaving in its stead, a great sorrow tbat must be borne alone aud in silence. I watched John closely after this, and al¬ though wiue was repeatedly oflfered to him, lie invariably refused it; so I con¬ cluded that, after all, I had been mis¬ taken, aud caused myself a great deal of unnecessary suflering.
At the close of the holidays, my guests returued to their homes; but on the last morning, Johu came, looking proud and happy, to tell me that, be¬ fore another Oliristmas, he and Jessie were to be married. Jessie, too, came into the library while we were there, and we passed the entire morniug in forming bright plans for the future. Jessie was to go bacli to school until the summer vacation, wheu slie would return to " The Ferns," aud would re¬ main with me until her marriage, which was to take place iu October. I bade tliem good-by with a light heart, the parting robbed of its bitterness by the liope of a speetly re-union. Mean¬ time, I was not idle. My fortune was large, and my wants few. Instead of leaving my property to be disposed of after my death, I chose to be my own executor, and enjoy tlie greatest luxu¬ ry which wealth can afTord—the bless- ednei-s of giving. As it was necessary for John to live iu tho city, I decided to give Jessie, as a bridal present, a house in Fourteenth street, whicii had lately come iuto my possession. I went dowu to IS'ew York some time in July, to see my agent about having the bouse put in perfect order, and handsomely furnished ; but my llrst c.tll was upon Jessie, whom I found looking thin, and paler, I fancied, thau at Christmas. I remained nutil her school closed, and then took her liome witb me. On tbe last day of my visit, we weut througii the house, to see if Jessie could suggest any improvement in thearrangements; but she seemed perfectly delighted, and was more like Iier old, cheerful, happy self, than I hail seen her before. Sbe peeped into tlie china closet, saying, with a laugh, that if she "liad a weak¬ ness, it was for a handsome table-ser¬ vice."
"Pronounce judgment upon tliese, then," I answered, as I held before her a .set of decanters and wine-glasses. I displayed them, wilh pardonable vani¬ ty, for tbe design was rare, and the workmanship exquisite; aud remem¬ bering my darling's ilainty taste, I had been at great pains to procure them. I was uot a little disappointed, therefore, to hcar her say, quietly, that "they were very beautiful, but sbe should ' never use tlicm."
" Whv not ?" I asked witli .some sur¬
prise.
"Because, Aunty, I long .ago deter¬ mined that tbere sliould never be a glass of liqnor in any house of which I was the mistress."
I knew Jessie to bo iiu advocate of the temperance cause, but never sup¬ posed she would allow ils principles to influence her to such a degree.
"Kousense," I replied. "You are getting to be a regular fanalic upon that subject; tliere is no liariu in an occasional indulgeucc."
"Aunty," and the delicate mouth quivered, while the tones of her voice were liard and bitter, "my fatlier com¬ mitted suicide in a lit of delirhtm tre¬ mens, my motlier died broken-hearted, and an only brother sleeps in a drunk¬ ard's grave. Do you wouder at my fa¬ naticism?"
" Does Jobn know this ?" I inquired. She drew hei-self up proudly, aud an¬ swered— '' I have no secrets from liim." "And is he willing to banish wine from his table?" I continued.
"Quiteso; aud, more thau tliat, he has promised liever again to touch it himself."
"Why, Jessie!" I exclaimed, "is it possible tbat you have made a temper¬ ance mail of him? I liave so often heard him declare that no earthly power could iuduce him to sign the pledge. Y'ou must be a magiciau."
"Xot quite, for he has not done that; liis iiromise was given to me; and tho only magician is Love," she added, softly.
I do not know what made me say it, but the words came unbidden, and were uttered without thought—" .Sup¬ pose he should fail to keep his word." " Then God pity me, for be is father and mother, brother and sister to me— all that I bave upon earlh."
"But, surely, Jessie, you would not give hiin up just for tliat."
A dreary, hopeless look filled tho brown eyes, but the lines about her mouth were lirm, and tbe sweet voice never faltered, as she replied—He must elioose for himself."
I said no more, satisfied tliat words were useless, aud we finished our tour of iuspestion in silence.
Tlie next day found us once more at "Tho Ferns;" and in the busy days that followed, we had neither time nor inclination to touch upon a theme so painful. The wedding-day dawned bright and beautiful, one of those love¬
ly October days that seemed to have strayed down to earth from Paradise. The oeremon.y was to be performed iu the little old-"fashioned church, aud im¬ mediately after they wero to start for Washington. In comjiliance with Jes¬ sie's wish, very few invitations had been issued. I petitioned, for a large party, but fiaally yielded, and consol¬ ed myself with thoughts of the grand reception which would follow their re¬ turn, for, although I was no longer young I dearly loved to seepeople hap¬ py. John came up the night before, and called me into his room to ex.im- ine his present to Jessie, an exquisite pin of pearls, set in frosted gold. While there, I noticed his dreasing-casoopon, ami in one of tho compartments a trav¬ eling flask. I picked it up. " What is this, Jolm?"
"Brandy,- was tne laconic answer. I tliought of Jessie, and instantly look¬ ed grave. He noticed it, and contin¬ ued with a smile—" It has not been open in five months, for I suppose you know I am under orders now."
" Yes, I kuow, but why do you Iicep it here, ifyou never nse it?"
" Well, the case and contents were a present; aud besides, I like to test my own strength, by keeping it always witliin reach, yet never yielding to tbe temptation, for it is such, sometimes," lie adiled in a lower tone.
"T.ikeoare, John," I urged. "Ko- mcmber that human nature is but a frail thing to trust to, and how can yon pray lo he kept from temptation, yet hourly subject yourself to such a trial."
" Isn't it woith somolbing to know that f can resist?"
I sliook my head doubtfully, but said nothing. Je-ssie roLired to her room early, complaining of o severe head¬ ache, and as I was qnite busy, John de¬ cided to riile over'to the village. I charged him with a few commissions, not vory iiniwrtant. but wliieh he prom¬ ised, nevertheless, should be faithfully attended to, and bade him good-night. I did not hear him come liome, but happening to be awake at a long time past midiii.gbt, I lieard him pacing the lloor of his room Willi a quielr, impa¬ tient step. At first I was alarmed, bnt (inally concluded bo was only a little nervous iu anticiputinn of coming events. When I wont down stairs in tlie morning, 1 found him on the piaz¬ za, smoking.
"Good-morning," I said. "Did .you have a pleasant ri'ile, and wherearo my packages?"
He Hung awny his cigar, and, came toward me, looking jiale and liaggaiil, with a licavy look aliout his eyes, that plainly indicated a sleeplesi night—" I am sorry, Annty, I quite forgot tliem," lie began, but I interrtqited him.
"What is the matter, John? Are you ill? Yon look wretchedly."
"Do I?" he said absently, "t be¬ lieve I am not feeliug quite well."
"You believe!" I repeated. "Seo how your baud trembles, and yon must have" been up all iiiglit. Let me get you something immediately. What will you have?"
"iS'othing, thank .yon; I dares.ay I shall be better alter broalcfast; a cup of coflbe will steady my nerves," he re¬ plied with a litlie laugh.
Jessie diil not come down to break¬ fast, and as soon as the meal was over, I went up to her room. I had sent up a tray with eoflee and toast, aud was surprised to see it untouched, wliile
Jessie lay on the Jotmge, pale nn.l lan¬ guid. Slie started up, and witli a faint attempt at a laugh, said—" la it time to dress, and bavo .you como to scold me for my laziness?"
"You liave time enough, dear; but how is this-no breakfast?"
"Oil! Iam not hungry this morn¬ ing. Indeed," she added, afterapuuse, " I do not know wli.y it is, but I feel so strangely, asif something terrible was about to happen ; were I at all inclined to be superstitious, I siiould call it a presentiment."
"Nonsense!" I interrupted. "What terrible calamity can possibly befall you on this, ofall days? Dismiss from your mind all such iiile fancies; or, if you must have a presentiment, let it bo "of coming joy. I will leave you now to dress, and when I como again, let me find you looking beautiful and happy, as becomes a bride."
Jessie blushed through her tears, and kissing ber tenderly, 1 loft her alone.
Two hours later I returned, and found that she had strictl,v obeyed my parting injunction. Slie wore a heavy while silk; her veil, pure and soft, floated about her like a cloud, and in place of tears, were bright, joyous smiles.
" Well, little snow-drop, aro you ready ?" " I believe so."
" Come then ;" and together we went down to the library, where Johu was waiting us.
" Punctual to the moment," he said, looking at his watch, and coming to meet us. " Shall we start immediately and disappoint the minister and tlie people by being on time?"
I wondered that he did not wait to admire .Tessic, or even to exchange a few fond words, but supposed bis impa¬ tience w.as allowable underthe eircuin- stauees. Passing through the vestibule of the church, Jessie's dress cauglit on a nail. Wc were detained but a mo¬ ment, yet I distinctly heard young Gleason, >vho stood by the door, say to a friend—" Brydon was ou a jolly spree last night; went liome at midnight, half tight."
I started. Could thei", too, have heard him? One glanceconvinced me. Every vestige of color fadeil from Jes¬ sie's face, Willie from John's eyes there shot an angry, defiant look, as he hur¬ ried her, almost rudely, into the church and up tlie aisle. The minister was waiting, and immediately commenceil tbe ceremony. John's responses was clear and tirm ; but I listened in breath¬ less suspense, when the momentous question was addressed to the bride. Sbe hesitated au instant, then draw¬ ing away ber hand, .said distinctly—"I will not,'—then, with a pleading look at John, she added—"Take me home." He led her to the carriage, and I fol¬ lowed. Consternation and amazement were depicted on every countenance. 1, alone, was not surprised ; l;had fear¬ ed this denouement. We rode home iu perfect silence. As we entered the house, Jessie turned to Jobn and said —" You believe tliat I have this day publicly insulted and disgraced you. Prove that you bave not deceived me, that your promise bas been faithfully kept, and! will make anv reparation in my power, no mailer Imw humili¬ ating it may be."
"1 cannot," he replied. "Instead, let me make confession." Then he told her how he had met some friends the night before, and after enduring every possible lauut aud ridicule, had, in a moment of passion, yielded, and s\fal- lowed a gl.ass of wine. Jlore followed, and, as Harry Gleason said, he return¬ ed home more tliau half-intoxicated, yet sober enough to realize what he had done. He did not close his eyes in sleep that niglit. More than ouce he was tempted to acknowledso everything, trusting to her love and cliarity for for¬ giveness. But if slie refused—could he give her .up at the very last moment? No, he could uot, lie would keep tliis secret, at least until she was his own, liis wife; theu, perliaps, he would have tbe courage to confess It. Ke acknowl¬ edged that he had acted dishonorably, and that the retribution was a just oue, in so far as the punishment ieil upon himself alone. The hardest thing to eiiuure would botUo oonscionsiiess that he had crabiltered her life, and perhaps broken her heart. " I will uotask your forgiveness," lie said, " I have not do- served it; bnt if you can onee more place c.inlidenee in one who has proved himself so nnwortliy, trust mo, the time will yet come wlien I may at least claim your respect, although your love may be forever lost." He paused, and then exclaimed passionately—"Jessie, my darling, will you let me go from you forever, without one word?"
" No, John," and she laid botli hands in his; "the forgiveness you were too proud to ask, I freely ofler you. I do not utterly condemn you for one fault; but oh, John! svith all the recollections ofmy childhood to waru me, I could uot act otherwise. I do trust you, and believe, in my heart, tbat some day I shall be proud to own that I loved and was beloved by you." She withdrew her hands and turned away, but he clasped her to his beart ina passionate embrace, kissod her once—aud was gone.
The next week he sailed for Europe. The firm he was with liad long employ¬ ed a resident clerk in Paris, aud learn¬ ing from John his desire to go abroad, they ofl'erei! the position to him. Jessie went toOhio to visit an aunt, and short¬ ly after ber arrival tbere, entered a sem¬ inary as music-teacher.
Four times had Christmas come and gone since their departure, and on the
quiet room, musing wilh a.sad heart, over the past. A knock startled rae from my painful revery, and a servant entered with a card—" John Brydon." I hurried down stairs and found him in the library. He was sadly altered. I tried to welcome liiiu, but tears choked the words I attempled to speak.
" My dear John."
" My precious old aunty."
After a while he lold me the story of the jiast five j-ears. How he had work¬ ed diligently and v.ell, lihtil ho had; risen to a partnership in the firm, and nlrcad.v possessed a handsome fortune ; hut a loreign climate, intense applica¬ tion to business, and above all, the ab¬ sence of the dear familiar faces, began to impair his health, aud he came back to recruit. " Isball be bettersoon," ho said, " now that I am once more at home, fori beliove that after all I am only home-sick." He laid his liead over in my lap, and I smoolhed tho dark hair, which was already faintly threaded with silver, while he told me incidents of foreign life and tr.avel, un¬ til the gray light in the east heralded the dawning of another Christmas- morn. All that rest, and earo, and the tenderest love, could do for him, seem¬ ed vain. His step grew more languid, his checic paler and thinner. Even the balmy air of sjiring brougiit no strengtii to the wasted franie, no color to the hollow cheek, nnd by the middle of Jlay he was unable to leave his room. Then,'for the first time, he consented to see a physician. The good old doc¬ tor looked very grave, and I followed iiim from the room.
"There is no actual disease," liesaid; "only a gradual wasting away of the whi)les.ysteni;" and bc])rescriuedstim¬ ulants, whicii John resolutely refused to touch. Iw vain I urged the doctor's orders, and lold him he would certaiuly die unless he obeyed them.
" Die I must, then, if there is no otli¬ er alternative. I have never tasted liquor since that night," he .said, withashud- der, "and, please God, I never will. After I am dead, will you tell Jessie that this time I liave been true to m.v promise, and have proved lhat I would rather die than pain hor the second time ?"
"Don't, don't, John ! Tenunot bear to hear you talk so," I cried. " .Tessic never loved you, or she would not have given you up for one single fault."
"Never loved me! "he repeated. "Oil, do not take that comfort from mc! it is theouly thought that has cheered or encouraged meduring the last five years; ynu will not rob me of my oue consola¬ tion?"
.Tust then a thought occurred tome— I wonder it never suggested itself be¬ fore, but I was uever iiuick-witteil, and old age is not apt to increase one's men¬ tal faculties—I would write to Jessie, tell her how manlully he had borne this last trial; how, in all the long years of probation, pa-isod "amid stran¬ gers and in a strange laud," ho had bravely met antl overcome every temp- lation;aiid, aliove all, th.at his true, faithful heart was still loyal to her. I did write. I lold herall this, aud more ; lliat lie was slowly dying, aud slie alone could .save him. "Come at ouce," I said, " for all other help has failed mo."
How anxiously I waited for a reply. Would she come, or had she ceased to love him, and amid other scenes, sur¬ rounded b,v new friends, forgotten the loyal heart that had never ceased to cherish her inemor.y.
A. week poaded slowly. Standing by the window, just at twiligiit, I saw a carriage drive up tbe lane, and a slender figure alight. In one moment Jessie wiis^in my arms. " Wliere is he. Aunty ? Oh, lake me to him !" she pleaded.
" Not uow," 1 said ; " .you are coo o.x- ciled. Come with me;" aud I took her to my own room, brought fresh, cool water to bathe her Icur-staiiied face, aud gently soothed her unlil she be¬ came quiet. She exchanged her dusty dress for a cool wrapper, and then cross- the hall to John's room. I opeued the doorsoftly. He was lying with closed eyes, audi molioned her to enter. She crossed the room with a noiseless step, and knelt beside him. He opened his eyes, looked at her a moment, then drew her face hesitle his own and mur¬ mured—"My owu darling! T had not dared to hope for this; it will be easier to die now."
" No, no, .Tohn, you must not talk of •lying ; .you will live, live tor me," she said, eagerly.
I came away; llie.y Avould not miss me, and it seemed like desecration to remain.
He did live. Slowl.v, but surely, health and strength returned. In two weeks tlicy were married—.Tcssie con¬ senting to the arrangement because, as his wife, she could care for him so much betler. To-day he is a strong, robust man, with an idolized wife and two merry, laughing ehildrcn. My story is done. It has been lolil ina simple, old-fashioued manner, but llic moral is plain.
