MY FATHER'S WIFE.
A stepmother ! Every nerve quiv
ered, everyjpulse-throbbcdat the
thought. 'Withptilefnce atifl com-i
pressed lips I sat in my own room,
hnving fled there for refuge, after
the announcement, which hnd seem
ingly paralyzed me, SayiiTg over and
over the word which promised to
change the whole current of my life.
Six months before, my father,
.listonlng Itolhe advice of- .some
friends who represented that iu -the
gray world 1 was about lo enter I
should have some filling chnperone,
hud advertised iu the daily prints
for a lady of education uud refine
ment as companion to his daughter
and only child.
Among numerous applications ,
j.i. vrru... iT
iur juiLyiuiuuucraiiuu ouurcu was
nloatJiocralsiwaa-ihat of a ladyac
compauicd by such reference as to
seem in every way desirable, and au
engagement followed.
When I tirssawher, my heart
was drawn to" her in sympathy that
one so young uud bcuutitul should
be thrown upon the world. Ere
long, I learned to love her.
-'Hef-iycars scarcely outnumbered
mine, but tho large dark eyes had iu
ilium a look ofsaducss which proved
her no stranger to suileriug. Yet
sliow'as aBUubeaul in-tlif house$the
ralriluliflncssf 'uw liftIiNvlts con
tagious; the touch of Jier small,
white hand in sullering soemed to
bring instant healing, the sweet
voice nceFoarfttudjllufd thought
her true', had'given Tier ray girl's
heart, and lo ! I learned all, all had
been apart to gain nu end I
This w.oman whom 1 had cherish
ea 'in my bosom had turned and
btung me, and was about to supplant
the mother to whose memory my
lather had been true ten long years.
, ;vbaskedMi68 Elliotf' tbc
my wile," he said to me, but an hour
before, us I stood in his study, where
he had sent for me to come to him.
1 You have already learned lo love
her a lat which has made .iny de
cision iu this matter easier. Her
absence nt present is in reality to
prepare for the indrriagc. In a
few days I shall go for her, to return
wilh herns my wile. As heretofore
your happiness has been my lirst
consideration, so now 1 hope you
will consider mine."
With face as while as marble, I,
had listened in silence, then, unable
to utter a word infrcply, I rushed
o Ihe shelteivof niy.own room.
What should I do? As dearly as
I had loved, so now I hated her.
Each smile seemed a trap, each word
io -4 have ,-d'ts )noanl rig. Jilid r Kvery
youth and beauty were but added
insults ,to: the tdeai"imotherr,fin her
forgotten grave. Never, never
could fI, bear to seq..her. , iu that
mother piafeW Had 'I llccn'blind,
not to have sccu whither the current
was drilling us? a
In another hour, I, too, had made
a decision. My home could no
longer be home lo inc. 1 would
leave if. j A ,-
ft Hastily taking up apapcrI scann
ed the list of advertisements. Fate
seemed propitious. This met my
eye:
Pkhsonal A governess, capable of
giving thorough instruction iu French,
to two little girls of 10 and 12. Apply,
It. T., Fairview, Ya.
Within fifteen minutes my reply
lay sealed and stumped, referring
to the preceptress of the school from
which I had graduated but a year
before as to my abilities, then dis
patching a-jshortuiote to'hcivstatltf
that circumstanccs'hftdnmaae sucli a
step necessary, and asking her to
take the proper course for rac iu the
matter.
This done, I felt calmer, and more
prepared to meet ray father. Dur
ing the next week the subject of his
approaching marriage was iu no way
referred to:, be being too proud to
PIuyit ,- though bfs &yef "often
sought mine wistfully, and X too
sore lo dare trust ray sol f.
On the morning preceding the
day fixed for his departure the Ictf
tcdor. which. I had waited .so apx
iously was hauded to me, in which
a regular proposition as to the terms,
etc., was made me, statiug, if 1 ac
cepted, my presence was earnestly
desired at as early a "date as possi
ble. Giving myself no time for thought,
I telegraphed my acceptance and
the date at which they mfcht expect
Jvi!"A.JIr.,.J
The next morning, my father,
looking younger and handsomer
than I had seen him in years, folded
mo to his heartasire-whispered :
"I have not beeu so selfish as you
imagine, Edith darling, since, iu
fata re.
1
OBft
first thought. Will you not give us
a welcome on our return?"
The word-tts .hardened the 6oftcr
emotion which had sprung into birth
at his tender caress, and, still silent
and impassive, I saw him go.

4n a few hours' 1, too,' must take ray
departuro must leave m,y beauifful
home, where my life long I had beeu
surrounded by luxurious and
elegant'cotrifbrfj jo go forth among
'sfrangcrs.
Selecting tho plaiuest of my
Crosses as most suitable, 160on had
myfrunks packed; then I sat down
to wrile a few , lines to my, father,
stating that I had acceptlcll a situa
tion a9 go'verness in a family ; that I
had left him in iguoranco as tp.thcir
identity, because I feared his opposi
tion to rrfy plah j and under no
fcircumstaiices could 'frciurn to the
home where1 my happincas had been
so ruthVes'lyf shattered by thejiaud
dcarcsTto me'. '
Then, 'with a ciisua'l"cxrjlanation.
to'llie servants that I was "about to
visiln' friend, with my l:ist quarter's
most-liberal allowance intiict, wilji
one last look at tho room of my
girlhood which a father's tender
forethought liad so tastefully and
luxuriantly fcVurnishcd oh mv re
cforo "from school I
went hastily forth, my'eyes burning,
'but shedding no tear. '
T had been at Fairview ' three
mouths, when one'' morning the
children my X'UP''5 rushed into
the school-room, exclaiming:
"OhTiss'Eitlij'UucioTlIarry has
come, and mamma, says we are to
have a holiday!" '
Sliiiling at their eagerness', 1 clos
ed the b'ooks. I had heard of
I-TJncle( Harry." His name was- a
household word iu the little family
of which I had become a member.
In all this time no word had reach
ed me ofmy home. How could it,
when they knew not where I was?
I had known many wenry, weary
days, though I had been fortunate,
Indued, iu finding friends iu my
Southern home, and in winning I ho
hearts of the little girls, who, in
turn, had now my own. Still, a
lecling of loneliness and desolation
oppressed me, as, al liberty lor the
day, L wandered off among the
spacious grounds a dull weight, to
which I could give no uainc, was
ever on my heart.
Was it conscience, .ami were. its
.whisperings those goaded ,by re
morse ?
' ' "Here irMlss Edith, TJucIc Harrys
our pretty, jwetty govcruess,"
burst in a pair of voices.
T.wo bright, laughing faces peeped
through the screen of .trees, and
behind them, parting the branches,
stood their soldier uucle "Uncle
Harry."
Ncycr had I seen a face which
seemed so strangely to unite the
boy and man of such strength, yet
such sweetness; bucIi mirth-loving
eyes, yet capable of such tender
sympathy.
I do not know whether" I rcad'this
fii'lhiFfffsT mouicTTCbYiu"llio""days
that followed, wheuI grew toknow
Harry Thornton .aud (ah! be still
my heart!) to ore him.
It was through no fault of mine. I,
too, was possessed of woman's pride ;
but I think, iu that first hour, the
arrow sped which all tcoi surely
found its mark, althpogh the knowl
edge of my wound' came to- me
only through suffering.
It happened that we were sitting
alone one afternoon, when he told
me, unasked, the story of his life; of
a young girl to whom, three years
before, he had pledged his troth; of
her youth, her beauty : until, with

grew at my heart, his unconscious

had left her, suddeuljr called abroad
on business, ain heiress iu the midst
of a home of luxury, promising to
return iu six; mouth3 to fulfill his
vow.
The vessel on which he sqiled was
lost (this story I had already heard
many times,) and for' months ho was
thought dedd. The 1 otters he had
writteu, as soon as, the vessel wl"cu
had saved him touched port, remain
ed unanswered.
He had hastened homo to find her
father dead, his property swept
awa)', liis daughter compelled to
seek self-support, though he could
find no further tiace oTher.
"The news of my safety must have
reached her," ho added. "She wifl
thiuk, perhaps, I have deserted her
iu the hour of need. It is this
which adds ever a fresh sting to the
wouuds which would, otherwise
perhaps have healed"
Ali ! I knew my secret uow in all
its hopelessness, as', with strength
which cdme whence I knew uot, I
strove to comfort him to be iu
truth the' friend he' called rae.
As I entered my room, an hour
lattera papei lyiag oifmy table

She was my stepmother!
Oh; strange incongruity of fate!
Was this woman, with her beauty
auii her charing ever to cross my
path? I could not move, when,
raising his eyes, he saw and called
me by 'name.
As iu a dream, I heard the rustle
of silken skirts, a swift kiss upon
my cheek, then saw 1 was alone
with him.
"Edith," ho said. "I have a
strange story to tell you so strange
t seems hardly credible. You re
member how I once told you auoth
cr'story, though I dared not.tcll you

had learned to love .you,? because I
was iu honor bound to another

felt it necessary to' tell you- of my

When I grew calmer, when the

' It is a curious fact that the United

As he knew he would not be
allbwel to proceed up to the capital,
he made a slio wroF coming to anchor

the medriwhlle firing a heavy salute.
As the wind blew strong up the
channel, under cover of his own and
the reciprocated salute, he spread

Dr. II. N. Dodge informs us that
he has found tho following- plan
very satisfactory for the ventilation
of rooms that ara much used during
cold weather:-Nail or screw a neat
strip of wood, from ono to two
inches high, upon tho window sill,
just inside of the sash, and' extend
ing entirely across from otic side of
tho frame to the other. Upon tho
top of this strip fasten a piece of
"weather strip," so that there will
be formed an air-tight-j oint betrfeen
the "weather strip" and the lower
sash of the window, whether Iho
latter is shut, down ligh or raised
au inch 'or two: tho lower crow-
t piece of ihe sash sliding on the
rubber of the "weather strip" g the
sash rises. With -this simple fix
ture iu place, the lower sash maybe
raised enough to admit a stream of
air between the lower, aud upper
sashes, where they Jap over each
other nt the middle of the. window,
without admitting; the least air at
the window sill. The air admitted
between the sashes U thrown di
rectly up toward the ceiling, aud
thcro mixes with the heated air at
the upper part of the room- Tho
room is thereby voutilated iu a
thorough and ogrccablo manner
without draughts of cold' air upon
the persons iu the room. The fix
ture should bo applied to several
windows iu a room. The amouat
of ventilation may be regulated by
the distance that -the lower sash is
raised. Thi3 arraiigcmdut is cheap,
simple, and effective. Scientific
