Felbam, q.ueruloU9ly, as she flat in front ; of
the blazing sea-coal grate, robed in a blue
cashmere merning dress, lined with'quVlted
satin of the same color, and her small feet
cornioriaoiy ensconcea in oiue voivci np
pers, edged with snowy swans down.

sequeDtlal lookivg. servant n sober black,
obeyed his younj: misiress, rather petulant
behest, but paused a moment after he hid

If vou oie"a '?1I8S ma, there's a young

What kind of a person. Hawking quesr
tioned Nina, languidly lifting bereyes from
ber wotk, with some slight appearance of
interest.
Well, Miss, said Hawkins, hesitating a
little, she's verv genteel-spoken a real
ady, you'd think, u it wasn't that she
dressed so shabbily and scant. .
It isn't the dress-maker?' -
1 No, Miss Nina, certainly not.'
Nor anybody come" after tbelady's maid's
situation? n .
No, Miss; I should say not 3he doesn't
look: like a lady's maid. - . '
iVell show her up.
.And Nina's pretty bead settled back
among the cusnons ol ner chair witu re
turning indolence. But the instant her eye
fell on the sweet, though very pale face of
the slender'lookiuz girl who advanced
timidly into the room, ushered by the state,
ly Uawkius, she sat upright with genuine
surprise depicted in her countenance. -

Then you recogoizs me, Nina r' said toe
stranger, fajntly crimsoning. It is so Ion
since we were school-mates together at
Madame Sauriat't that I thought I feared
you would scarcely remember me.
Sit down, said .Nina, rather ungraciously
motioning with ber heavily-ringed Go gars
toward a chair. 'What can I do for you?'
Mias-Wh.irtoa did not sit down, however
it mizht have been that she was repelled
by the extreme coldness of Nina's manner
but went on spea&iog, in a nesuawug, un
certain voice.
Of conrse you have heard of our misfor-
tunes. r.ina-my poor .amers .uu,0

to conceal tbe fact that I am compelled to

; 'I am very eorry that I have no fine sew
in to give you, remarked Nina in a con
strained" voice; and really my allowance of
pocket money is so very small that
Anna Wharton colored scarlet.
You entirely misunderstand me, Nina I
do not come here to beg.
She drew a little morocco box from her
pocket as she spoke, and opened it.
I remember that you used to admire
these Neapolitan corals very much in our
school days. I have bei n loth to part with
them up to this time, although it has been
necessary to dispense with every relic oT
happier times. But my brother is dying for
want nf nroner nourishment and the luxu-
jies which money only can obtaih for him.
I wish to sell the bracelets, Nina, and I
thought you might like to purchase them
of me. : " ' .
Nina leaned forward in her chair and
took the box, her eyes sparkling at the sight
of the ' beautifully carved bracelets of
Neapolitan coral; all streaked and veinec
with the soltest rose color, tnai lay in me
simple casket. She' had been endeavoring
for tho last year to ooiain a seioi robocorai,
and here at length it was, ready to her band.
But Niua Pelham was a woman of the
world, and understood the contemptible art
of making 'a good bargain.' So she wisely
repressedher ecstacies, and asked, with cold
imlifTprence:
Finn mnrh do vou exoect" to receive for

Papa gave eighty dollars for them in
Italy, and they are as good as ever.
"Nina shrugged her shoulders. "''
""nr rnnrsa vou can't expect to get the
twentieth part of that price for them now?
" Nina Pelham,' said Anna Wharton firm
ly,-'! am at your mercy in this matter.
Whatever S'ou may please to give I must

Name a price at once but, Nina, remember
that you are rich ana 1 am poor. -

other cent, said Nina compressing her lips.

"'And now I must go and order that new
bonnet," soliloquized Nina, clasping the
bracelets on ber pretty round arms, and con
templating them. admiringly, for Dr. Carle
ton has invited me to drive nut with him
to-morrow. , How fortunate it was he didn't

The fashionable milliner's rooraa were
filled with theorems lacreame of the shop
ping community that afternoon, as Miss Fel
bam swept in, her camel'a hair shawl bring
ing a faint odor of camphor wood in the
rustle of its rich folds, and her heavy, bro
caded dress trailing full half a yard tin 'the
floor. She. fluttered from table to stand,
gianC.'?2 at th various attractions, and dis
pensing a'gracicos word here and, there, un
til at length. she came to a standstill, fasci
nated by a elegant chapenu, whicn bad been
p,o luced from its bandbox' for her special
delectation. ' . - , ,'
Oh, what a beauty! Do tellme theprice,
Madame,' she ejaculated,- with sparkling
eyes. , .
A trifle a mere trifle, said the milliner,
patting the strings with soft, little hands,
around the tapering fingers of which fash
ionable ladies were daily 'wound by the
score. 'Thirty-five dollars is all.' .
Thirty-five dollarsl I hardly dare pay so
much for a bonnet, Madame, said Nina. -Papa
scolds about my extravagance already,
and makes such dreadful faces over the
bills that are sent in to him.'
But such a lovely bonnet, Mademoiselle
Pelham! such a sweet gem of taste.
The willy Madame D'lleriot held up the
article under discussion, and turned it one
way and the other, so the sunshine fell full
on the delicate white voilat, shadowed full
ou the delicate white voilet, shadowed with
creamy point-lece and foam-Hke plumes
It was enough to tempt any woman living,
and Nina felt her economical resolutions
ebbing away in spite of hersolf.
The roses in front are iust the shade of
pink roost becoming to Mademoiselle Pel-
ham, urged the silver-voiced nodiste and
see .those mossy buds under the grasses!
Thirty-five dollars ii nothing absolutely
nothing for such a hat as that. . -
I must have it, said Nina, decidedly.
Sand it home at once, Madame. If papa
chooses to scold, I can't help it. '
And as she eutered the waiting carriage,
she muttered to herself: "'
1 really can afford to buy an expensive
bonnefc jaat now.'ror I eeoaomisad so much
. J ilrace!et9. . .. -
The brief colloquy between the belle and
---- --
the milliner had had two auditors of whose
presence Nioa Pelham was totally uncon
scious.' Dr. Carleton and his sister were
wailing in an adjoining ante-room for some
trifling alteration to be made in Miss Carle -ton's
sober brown velvet chapeau. She turn
ed to her brother with an arch glance as the
camel's hair shawl ai-d rich brocade rustled
down the stiirs. '" '
' So, Ned, she said, rather maliciously, as
sisters are wont to speak of ladies whom
their brothers specially admire, 'you will
'persist io admiring that Miss Pelham. See
what you'll be called upon to endure in the
way of milliner's bills. .
She is so young and ingenuous,' said
Oarletonj in a tone of extenuation. Tbe
man who is fortunate enough to secure her
heart can form her character in almost any
mould. " . ' ; .
Miss Carleton made a little grimace.
Nay, said Carleton, laughing, that is
hardly a fair question, Alice, under the cir
cumstances. However, I am not unwilling
to confess that I admire her.
Admirel repeated Alice Carleton, doubt
fully. ,
Yes, admire Bald Carleton, quietly. 'I
never , saw but one person whom 1 really
tho't I could love, as a man should love the
woman who is to share his life, and she
Here's your bonnet, Alice, all right at last.
Come I'm 1 in a hurry. ,
As you always are, said Alice, laughing.
Your wife, whomsoever she may be, will
have soro need of the div ine gift of patience!
A. man ought to be in a hurry when forty
patients or so are still down on his list, and
the tun scarcely an nour auove the aorizool
said Dr. Carlton, philosophically, as be lift
ed his sister into the sleigh.
Nina Pelham was never in better spirits,
and bad never looked lovelier tnan at the
moment she entered Dr. Carleton's trim lit
tle sleigh, in tbe dazzling winter noon of
the next day. The exquisite plumes of the
new French hat floated like a soft cloud
Above the pink roses -that harmonized so
perfectly with the faint flush on her cheeks;
and through the embroidered drapery other
arms the coral bracelets gleamed like rosy
serpents. Her hps were all smiles, her
eyes all liquid brightness; and although she
noticed that Ur. Uarleton was unusually
silent as" he arranged tbe leopard skin robes
of the sleigh around ber, she -.chattered on,
full of lively, girlish vivacity. . js: '.
Why, where are we going.' she exclaim
ed, as tbe spirited horses were suddenly
turned into an unpretending and secluded
street, instead of darting Park-wards. -
I am .taking youto-day io an entirely
different direction, said Carleton, .com
posedly.: I was callecVyesterday, m a most
unexpected manner, to attend a little pa
tient. wbose sister, aa 1 understood, was an

- Is it possible? ejaculated Nina, with well-
acted surprise, although the cold sicking at
her heart nearly choked her voice. 'Poor,

turned Carjeton, gravely, as he drew up his
horses close to the curb stone. - Allow me
to escort you up the stairs they are some
what steep and narrow to unaccustomed
feet:"- v ,
Mls9 Pelham' followed hfm, - scarcely
knowing what she - was about. 'so; chagrined
and bewildered was she at the 'unexpected
turn events bad taken: As they 'reached
the second landing-place, he threw open' a
door and beckoned hnrtr'ntnr:-
The room revealed to her sight was very!
small, and scantily furnished, yet exquisite
ly neat. On a low couch,' near the white
curtained window, lay a sick child, with
wan, attenuated 'cheeks, and eyes that seem
ed to burn with preternatural; luster, and
close beside him sat Anna Wharton, r
Miss Anna, said the doctor, as she rose in
soma surptisejit their entrance, hereja your

aware of the. depth .and - sincerity .of her

coral bracelets she now wears. .t'.-;-. '
Nina turned pale and red bv turns: she
almost wished that the earth might open
and -swallow her up, so bitterly mortified
was spe at t,bat mstant.
VVait a moment, if you please, MtS3 Pel
bam, said Dr. Garleton, with freezing po
liteness. Allow me to return the five dol
lar bill to you, as Miss Wharton, who is to
become my r wife in the course of a few
weeks, has no present need for it. Her
gratitude is or course proportioned to your
extreme generosity. My servant will drive
you to your home, he added, ad circum
stances debar my eccompanying you in per
son. 1 " , v
And Nina Pelhara left the room with the
comfortable conviction that she had lost, a
Iover, and Anna Wharton bad gained one;
Is it strange that under these circumstan
ces, she thought the coral bracelets rather
dearly bought? 7 .. . ' 77 .
- , Died Yesterday. - :
Every day -is written the little sentence
'died yesterday,' so and so. Every day the
flower is plucked from a sunny home, a
breach is made in some happy circle a jew
el stolen from "some treasury of love. -Each
day from the sunny fields of life, some har
vester disappears; yea every hour some sen
tinel falls from his post, and is thrown from
the ramparU of time into the surging wat
ers of eternity. Even as we write the fu
neral of one who died yesterday, winds like
a shadow along the street. . '
'Died yesterday. Who died? Perhaps
it was a gentle babe one whose laugh was
the gush of a summer rill, loitering through
a bower of roses, whose life was a perpetu
al litany a May-time, crowned with the
passionflowers that never fade. 'Or, may
hap,' it was a youth, hopeful and generous,
whose path wri hemmed with flowers, with
not a serpent lurking underneath; one whose
soul panted for-communion with the great
and good, and reached forth in an earnest
struggle for tbe jordan in the distance. But
that is still now, he 'died yesterday.
'Died yesterday.' - A young girl, pure as

his own vine and fig tree, fell to dust even as
tbe anthem trembled on his lips, he, too was

age and cares, even as looking out upon the
distant hills for the coming of the angel
hosts, sank into a dreamless slumber, and
on the door post was written 'died yester
day.' - . '.,; ; ..,

Teacher first pronounced the memorable
comparison of a good man with a conspicu
