On the foBowine morning I awoke
with a headache, and when I sailed
to mind the even? of the preceding
evening. I was anything hot happy.
I began So realise how mech I had
loved Mary Granville. There was sn
aching void in my heart, and I wept
as I contemplated my loss. It was
my first love, aad its power had per

to me than I eoeid tell, and I groaned
in bitter aavgos-h when I tbooeht she

She played the ocean as she had done
for veers before, and as her Sogers
swept over the keys I mneied I eoeid
detect a tremaiooseess which I never

Another Sabbath to the church, aad
I saw Mary again. It seemed to me
that she was paler than before, aad
faer eves looked as though she bed
seen weeplm? lately.
Doriag the seeeeediag week I re
ceived a visit from my college eh em,
Jack Stanton, who had jest opened a
Jaw o&iee in Berryvlile. After sap
per, as we sat in oer eosy parlor,
smoking cigars, I soggested that a
bottle of wise might not be amiss.
Jack shook his head.

"Yes, bat it neve? did me a partiele

"Aad do yee ever think in did yoa

"Do yoa know her? he asked

I turned away mr foee, ad pre

"I have seen her," I replied, when
I had composed myself. "She plays
the organ in oer church."
"She aad I were schoolmates, per
soed Stanton; "and speak lag of wine

anything of her eariy life ?"
"Poor Mary, I sever think of her

I straggled with myself, and told
Jack I had swallowed a lot of cigar
smoke. I arose and opened one of
the easements aad stepped oat open
the balcony, where the fresh air par-
nelly restored me to myself. At a
late boor Jack departed for the hotel ;
aad when I retired to my ens saber I
paced to and fro until it was long after
midnight. I eoeid no longer misen
dertaed the motives which had actu
ated Mary in refasing my. bead. She
knew that I was in the habit of Bslng
wine ; and on that eveningwhee first
we aset she must have discovered
that I bad drank quite enough to
bring the Sash to my cheek.
"Oh. heaven!" I efwalated, as I
sank into aeheir ; "I wonder ant that
she fears to trust her life m my keep- j
iner." .
She woe Id be wesse thee mad to
take a hnsbead whose eeealag path

the iored ones ef the ether days had

"Bet," I asked myself, "why did
she aot tell me the wfcole trath ?'
I found ao diafeehy in aasweriag
the question. I knew how sensitive
she was , I knew that she had been
sfrard of wounding my feelings. Per
haps she thoaght me proed and head
strong eaoogh to resist seeh liberties
oa her part ; aad perhaps she imagin
ed that I might look opoa her coarse
as the offer of her hand in consid
eration of my renouncing the wine
cap, and that I might sparn the offer.
On Friday, Jack Stanton left me.
and oa Saturday eveaiag I eaiied at
Mary's boardiag-place. Mary herself
I aaswered the semaioas. She started
when she saw me. aad I saw her
head move qaiekly to her heart.
"Mary," said I, speaking very calm
ly, for I had a mighty strength of will
to support me, "I have act come to
distress yoe. I have come as a friend
aad I humbly ask that yoe will give
me audience for a few mtaute."
She went into the parlor and I fol
lowed her dosing the door behiad
me; aad when we were alone she
i set the lamp on the table aad aaotfoa-Jan
ed me to a seat.
"No," said I, "I will not sit down
yet. Give me year head, Mary.
Mecbanieaity she pet forth both
her heads , aad I took them in my
owa. There was a wondering look
upon her feee, aad a slight flash had
come to her pale cheek.
"Mary," I eeatineed, speakiag
slowly aad softly, aad I knew that a
moisture was gathering ia my eyes,
"yoa mast answer aie ce question.
Answer it as yoa please aad take my
solemn assurance that I only ask U for 1
my good. Tell me do yee love me?

"I eaanot speak falsely ," she whis
pered tremblingly ; "for my own
peace of mind, perhaps, I love yoe
too deeply."
"Listen to me one moment," I ad
ded, drawing her nearer t me, and
when -I tell yoa what I have learned,
yon shall he the jadge.'
She did not strive to free her bands,
bet g&zed ap eagerly into my Ste,
and her eyes beamed with a bopefnl
light.
"Yoe know John Staaton ?x Issu
ed. "Yes," she replied. "He was my
best friend while at college, and oer
friendship has not grows less."
"He has been to see me, and toid
me of the trials and seSeriifcgs of aae
of the seheoimatea of his earlier days.
Oh, Mary, I think I know very well
why yoa refused sty hand, and I
blame yoa sot. It may be that oer
paths may be different throegh life ;
bnt yoe shall at least know that he
whom yoe loved will so live that he
shall not be snworthy of year kind

For my sake I wotild do this, so that
my sainted mother if she can look
down from Heaven upon her boy, can
smile approvingly npea the coarse he
has chosen. And now, Mary, if at
some future time vou should fee! that
i yoa eoeid trust yoar happiness to my
keeping, yea will give me some token
thereof, and I will come again and
ask for your band, and shocM it be
my blessed lot to receive it, I will de
