LIFE'S LOT.
BY THK DKA5 OF CAHTKEBL'SY.
I know not if the dark or bright
Shall be my lot ;
If that wherein my hopes delight
Be best, or not.
It may be mine to drag for years
Toil's heavy chain ;
Or day and night my meat be tears
On bed of pain.
Dear faces may surround my hearth
With smiles and glee ;
Or I may dwell alone, and mirth
Be strange to me.
Mybark is wafted to the strand
By breath divine.
And on the helm there rests a hand
Cither than mine.
One who has known in storms to sail
I have on board ;
Above the raging of the gale,
I hear my Lord .
He holds me while Ihe b'llows smile,
I shall not fall ;
If sharp, 'tis short; if long 'tis light ;
He tempers all.
Safe to the land, safe to the land
The end is this
And then with htm go band in hand,
Far into bliss.

THE COQUETTE.
BY MARY C. VAUGHAN.
He stood apart as one who was of, but
with, the gathered throne. There was
light of pleasure in his eye as beautiful
women passed him, and bent with marked
deference to his bow ; none of intelligence
senators and statesmen, his compatriots,
approached. He scarcely seemed to heed
them. His thoughts were but on one, his
eyes sought but one form and face in all
brilliant crowd.
This great man, upon whose lips hung a
nation's suspense, and upon the working of
, i i i. j ....
wnose astute Drain uung a nauuu n ucr
tiny, had become the bond slave and thrall
a woman. One smile from her was
worth more, far more than all the fame
honors that his ambition and a people's
grateful reverence had secured him. . He
lived upon the words tnat dropped in siow
music from her lips, and the lightest touch
her hand upon his in the passing cour
tesies of society, thrilled like nre tnrougn
veins, and was to him like an actual
vivid presence till hours and days had pas
sed. Now he was watching her from atar,
with all his soul in his eyes that sought
only.
Glances of pity, ot surprise ana contempt
were bent upon him. ne would nave
chafed under such unaccustomed notice
had he been couscious of it. He was of
proud and self-controlled a nature to
endure pity, and contempt had never been
him. with his master mind ana maora
itable will. But he forgot the crowd and
the possibility of observation, his thoughts
fixed only on her.
As she no token, no furtive glance,
nor flutterinfr blush on her fair cheek be
trayed her knowledge of this distant, si
lent worship. It she avoided mm, me
evasion had all the effect of uncontrolled
accident A quiet, lady-like unconcern
was all that was visible.
Marion Lisle bore the reputation of
finished coquette. How she had gained
save from her scorned and lilted ad mi
rers, it was difficult to conceive. Her man
ners were auiet almost shy. There was
display in dress, nor of personal charms,
very little conversation, no brilliancy.
Some even called her plain, and in truth
hpr beautv lav rather in the nameless
charm of expression, and the lissom grace
a perfect figure than in aught which
technically deserves the name. And yet
around her were always gathered the brill
iant and the best of all men who graced
society. And, if Bhe numbered her ad
mirers by hundreds, scarcely less in num-
j .a 1 1 a .
ber were they who, trom we neiguis m a
nleased conscience that they had merited
and received her ppproval, suddenly found
themselves precipitated into the vauey oi
abasement, and saw the eye that had light
ed p.t their approach turned coldly, almost
unconsciously, from the sight of their ag
onies.
And thus it was that Marion Lisle had
gained the title of coquette. Her last vic
tim had been the great statesman who De
lilah-like, she had shorn ot his strengtn.
She had seemed to awaken from her or
dinary languid calm when he approached
her ; had flattered him by an unusual show
of attention to his conversation ; ha vouch
safed him more smiles and words than fell
to the lot of any other; and, justly, he felt
himself distinguished.
He had been deeply impressed by the
high-bred grace of her manner, and the
distinction with which she had treated
him had awakened thoughts of one like
her presiding over his household or seated
at the head ot his tawe. cy an easy iran

were alike forgotten. To overcome the

her for his wife, became the object of all
his thoughts, the business of his life. And
thus we find him absorbed in the one
thought, the one single present purpose,
unmindful of the brilliant throng, un
heeding comment or observation, or pity.
And afar we see, cold, self-centred, in an
almost sublime egotism, the object of his
affections.

Success, honors, higher grades of great

knew it by the bitter disappointment that
for a time clothed her gay spirit in gloom.
This disappointment had its natural ef

upon the concealed bitterness, she lost the

sting; and the gay smile inai ligniea ner

gleamed from every window in the broad
facade. Music echoed, pulsing out. upon
the still night air, from the open casements,
and richly dressed women passed and re
passed in view of the admiring crowd.
This crowd the poor, the wretched,
the outcasts of a great and wealthy city-
had gathered to derive a strange pleasure
from this sight of luxury from which they
were debarred. borne ot them gazed
with wonder only others, few perhaps,

robes, adorned white arms and bosoms
with such gleaming-jewels, and fair as

One was there, standing apart, shrink
ing with the scorn from all contact with
her wretched associates who once had
trodden those very rooms with the best
and greatest of the land following her foot
steps al,d bowing'down in homage before
her. As she thought of this, with tears
of self-scorn and pity in her eyes and Data

From it stepped the great statesman.

the wretched crowd, and her sweet face
trrew nitiful. while tears gathered in the
eves that had been luminous with joy.
As she touched the pnvemeut her gar

crouching there, and she started back, for
there was sin as well as sorrow on that
haggard face, and in the lowering glances
of the dark evil eyes.
Her husband turned as he caught the

lips, and hiseyes encountered those of the

turned deadly pale, as with a gesture of
protection he drew his bride across the
pavement, and they passed into the house.

appreciate being left alone in the world,
and ere his wife's eyes had hardly closed
in the sleep that knows no waking, he
decided to marry again. Hitching up his
team, he takes in his servant girl and goes
to Bay City to buy garments for the dead.
While there he married the girl and re
turned home the same night with a second
wife, so that by actual count he was not a
widower twelve hours. The new wife ap
peared at the funeral the next day in deep
black, and was one of the principal mourn
