Kot a word had been spoken to heron -which she could found a fair hope. But she had never been so certain of her Ioveof her love as a true, undoubted :and iindonbtablc fact, of an unchange able fact as she was now. And why should this poor old woman, with her many 3 ears of service, be disturbed? .She went again up to her bed-room, and, sitting at her open window and looking out, saw him still pacing slovy- lv up and down the long walk. As she looked at him, he seemed to be older than before. His hands were still clasped behind his back. There was no look about him as that of a thriving lover. Care seemed to be on his face; nay, present almost visibly on his very shoulders. She would go to him and -plead for Mrs. Baggett. But in that case what should become of herself? She knew that she could no longer stay in his house as his adopted daughter. But she could go forth and starve, if there was nothing better for her. But, as she thought of starvation, .she stamped with one foot against the other, as though to punish herself for her own falsehood. He would not let her starve. He would get some place ior her as a governess. And she was not in the least afraid of starvation. It -would be sweeter for her to work with :any kind of hardship around her, and be allowed to think of John Gordon with her heart free, than to become the com fort able mistress of his house. She would not admit the plea of starvation " -even to herself. She wanted to be free of him, and she would tell him so. and would tell him also of the ruin he was .about to bring on his old servant. v She watched him as he camp back into . the house, and then .she rose from her chair. ,4But I shall never sec him .again," she said, as she paused before she left the room. But what did that matter? Her not .seeing him again ought to make, should make, no difference with her. It was not that she might sec him, but that she -mio-ht think of him with unsullied thoughts. That should be her object -. that and the duty that she owed to Mrs. Baggett. Why was not Mrs. Baggett entitled to as much consideration as -was she herself or even he? She turned to the glass, and wiped her eyes with the sponge, and brushed her hair, and then went across the passage to Mr. "WhittlestalTs library. She knocked at the door which she had not been accustomed to do, and then, at his bidding, entered the room. "Oh, Marj-," he said, laughing, "is that the wav vou begin, by knocking at the door?" "J think one knocks wlica one wants si moment of reprieve." "You mean to say that you are bash ful in assuming vour new privileges. Then you had better go back to your -old habits, because you always used to -come where I was. You must colue .and go now like my very second selfr Then he cam; forward from the desk at which he was wont to stand and write, -and essayed to put his arm round her waist. She drew back, but still he was not startled. It was but a cold kiss I .gave you down below. You mustkiss iie now, as a wife kisses'iierlnisband." "iJever." "What!" Now he was startled. "Mr. Whittlestafl", pray pray do not Ije angry with me." "What is the meaning of it?" Then she bethought herself how she -might best explain the meaning. It was hard upon her, this having to cx- -plain it, and she told herself, very fool- m ishly, that it would be better for'her to Lliwrjinwith the story of jVlr?. Baggett. ShcIcoTtftl .more " e:isily speak -of Mk. Baggett than of John Gordon. But it must be remembered, on her be half, tint she had but a second to think i might best begin her story. I hati spoken to Mrs. Baggett about your visues. " "WdU" "Shehas l;vcd with vou and vour -family rom before you were born." "She W an old fool. Who is going to "hurt heir And, if it did hurt her, are to be put out of our course you and! because If her? She can remain hero sis long she obeys you as her mis- Iress." "She slys that, alter so many years, she can t do that "She skill leave the house this very night, if she disturbs your happiness iind minti What! is an old woman like that i tell her master when ho may and yhen he may not marry? I did not thukyou had been so soft." She coullnot explain it all to him all that sheihought upon the subject. She could it say that the interference of any domitic between such a one as John GordA and his love between him and hem she were happy enough to be his lovi-would be an absurdity too foolish b be considered. They, that happy tt, would be following the lent of humai nature, and would speak aio more thank, soft word to the old -woman, if a sit word might avail any thing. Theirpve would 1 e a thing too sacred to adni of any question from :any servant sfciost from any parent. .But why, in thl matter. wa "not Mrs. Baggett s happBess to bo of as "much ennseouence naMr. WhittlestafTs es- pecially when own peace of mind lay in the same rection as Mrs. Bag only this, .wit's? "She s; that you are jrn troubl for yourself in that is true." lis wrath and spoke d showed her at had not dwelt ad bade her not he had been im as one polled to ior. "l ng too !cto ,t- b et too old o TKike t; r impossible Then yon come torn and tell me that you must destroy all y dreams, dash - -. --- a l my Hopes to tbu ground, because an old woman has shown her temper and her jealousy!" This was true, according to the light m wnicn lie saw her position, liad there been nothing between these two,! but a mutual desire to be married, the ream given by her for changing it all wouia oe absurd. As he had continued to speak, slowlv adding one argument to another, with a certain amount of true eloquence, she felt that unless she could go back to John Gordon she must yield. But it was very hard for her to go back to John Gordon. In the first place, she must insist on her love for a man wno had never spoken to her of love! It was so hard that she could not do it openly. " I had thought so little of the value I could be to you." "xour value tome is mhnite. I think, Mary, that there lias come upon 3-011 a certain melancholy which is depressing you. Your regard to me is worth now more than any other possession or gift that the world can bestow. And I had taken pride to myself in saying that it had been given." Yes; her regard! She could not contradict him as to that. "And have you thought of vour own po sition? After all that has passed be tween us, you can hardly go on living here as you have done." "I know that." "Then what would become f you if you were to break away from me?" "I thought yon would get a place for me as governess, or a companion to some lady.,? "Would that satisfy your ambition? 1 have a place for 'ou but it is here. Not as a companion to a lady are you required to fulfill your duties here on earth. It is a fuller task of work that you must do. I trust I trust that it may not be more tedious." She looked at him again, and he did not now ap pear so old. There was a power of HtiLch about the man. and a dignity which made her feel that she could in truth have loved him had it not been, for John Gordon. "Unfortunately. I' am older than you, very much older. But to you there niay be this advantage, that you can listen to what I may say with something of confidence in ray knowledge of the world. As my wife you will fill a poskion more honorable and more suitable to your gifts, than could belong to you as a"goverues3 or a companion. You will have much more to do, and will Ue able to go nightly to your rest with a consciousness that you have done more as the mistress of our house than you could have done in that tamer capacity. You will have cares, and even those will ennoble the world to you, and you to the world. That other life is a 'poor shrunken death rather than life. It is a way of passing her days which must fall to the lot of many a female who does not achieve the oth er; and it is well that tiiey to whom it falls should be able to accommodate themselves to it with contentment and self-respect. I think that I may say of myself that, even as my wife, you will stand higher than you would do as a companion. "1 am sure of it" "Not 011 that account should you ac cept uny man that you can not love." Had she not told him that she did not love him even that she loved another? And yet he spoke to her in tills way! "You had better tell Mrs. Baggett to come to me." There is the memory of that other man," she murmured very gently. Then the scowl came back uponliis face; or not a scowl, but a look of cold displeasure. 'If I understand yon rightly, the gentleman never addressed vou as a lover." "Never!" "1 sec it all, Mary. Mr.-. Baggett has oeen violent and selfish, and has made you think thoughts which should not have been put in your head to disturb you. You have dreamed a dream in your carl- life as girls do dream, I suppose and it has now to be forgot ten. Is it not so?" "I suppose it was a dream." "He has passed away, and he has left vou to become the happiness of my life Send Mrs. Baggett to mo, and I will speak to her." Then lie came up to her for they had been standing about a yard apart ani pressed his lips to hers. How was it possible that she could prevent him? She turned round, and slowly left the room, feeling, as she did so, that she was again engaged to him forever! ana ever, one naicu uurseu. uurausu she had been so fickle. But how cou'd she have done otherwise? She asked herself, as she went back to her room, at what period during, the interview, which was now over; she could have declared to him the real state of her mind. He had, as it wore, taken com plete possession of her, by right of the deed of gift which she 'had made of herself that morning. She had en deavored to resume the gift, but had altogether failed She declared to her self that she was weak, impotent, pur- Eoseless; but she admitted on the other and, that he had displayed moro of power than she had ever guessed at his possessing. A woman always loves this display of power in a man. arid she felt that she could have loved him had it not been for John Gordon. But there was one comfort for her None knew of her weakuess. Her mind had vacillated like a shuttlecock, but no one had seen the vacillation. She wis in his hands, and she must simply do as he bade her. Thensho went "down to Mrs. Bagget's room, and to'd the old lady to go upstairs at her master's behest. "I'm agoing, said Mrs. Baggett. "1-in a-going. I I hope he'll find every ono ete as good nt. doino- what he tells Zem. But I ain't a-going to be v. a-doing for him or for any one much longer.' a CHARTER VI. JOUN C.ORIWJ.

She did not begrudge them In the least, thinking that they uere all due to Mr. WhittlestafT. Now Mr. Whittlestaff wanted a wife, and, of course, he ought to have her. But she could not be expected to remain and behold Mary Lawrie's triumph and Marv La wrie's, power. That wa3 out of tlie question; and, as she was thus driven out of the house, she was en titled to show a little of her ill-humor to the proud bride. She must go to Portsmouth which she knew was tantamount to a living death. She hated only one person m all the world, u.u not vote oecause me speaker ot the , deprtum, are foolish and mkchievons; and Ik as she knew well, was living at House rarely votes.

There were to her only two phces in the world in which any body 'could live Croker's Hall and Portsmouth. Croker's Hall was on the whole tie proper region set apart for the habitation of the blest Ports mouth tr the other place and thither she imfci go. To remain, even ia Heaven! as housekeeper to. a young woman, pras not to be thought of. It was wrin in the book of fate that she muslgo; but not on that account need shi even pretend to keep ber temper. 1 ' "Whaffs all this that you have txrta savinc tat Miss Lawrie?" began Mr. Whitaestajf, wil an"rer. 1 Ji . 7 . kr ... .. -t - !' ;. c im an me dignity oi " What aave I been saving of to Mais JLarj-?"

"1 never said a word of the kind, Mr. WhittlestafT; nor yet, sir, as Miss Lawrie ever ?aid irimr vour pardon for contradicting j-oh. and well I ought.

" What did you sav?"' "I said as 'how 1 must leave you; nnthiiif but that. It ain't a matter of the slightest consequence to vou, sir." "Kuubish:" "Very well, sir.

"Because of my feeling-, sir." "I never heard such tr.ish." "That's true, no doubt, sir. But sf.ll, if you'll think of it, old women does have feelings. Not as a young one, but still they're there." "Who's going to hurt vour feel. inraS" ...j. In this house, sir, for the last fif th teen years I've been ton-sawver of female gender." "Then I'm not to marry at all?" "You've gone on and you haven't-' that's all. 1 ain't a-finding no fault' But you haven't and I'm the sufferer.' Here Mrs. Baggett 1 egan to wipe he eyes with a clean handkerchief, which she surely must have brought into the room for the purpose. "If you had taken some beautiful young lady" "I have taken a beautiful young lady," said Mr. Whittlestafl', becoming more angrj- than ever.

Tne Republican party has suffered no diminution or vitality since the aecom nlishment of its first great work. It continues to be a leavening power in the life of tho Nation. It is alive to the wants and tendencies of the time, ami gives expression to the most earnest popular convictions.

Detroit 1'ost and 'Jribunc. Conscientious Demand. Must a man satisfy the demands of hi? conscience in every "instanco ? The man may be incapable" of good judgment, lle'may he ignorant. I'ossibly he is so fiekle that his conscience demands one thing this hour and its opposite tho next. Perhaps he is Used to relying upon others, and it may be that he shows good tense moro in that wav than in an- other. He may be tho slave of prejudice, and for that reason the sug gestions of friends are better than his own widoin. Religious or party organizations arc created that the best thought of tho most people 1na3-.be given practical value. Armies arc brought into the field for the protection or the prosperity of the mas. The individual merges himself into the people that through united effort his personal ends, as well as the good of the whole, may be ad vanced. Suppose this individual put his conscience above the church? Sup pose he rank his wisdom above that of the party? Mr. Cur'is says this is man liness, but is it not rather" rebellion? Is it not the outgrowth of a self-sufficiency which no amount of wisdom or purity can warrant ? The views of tho whole are crystallized in the organiza tion, and if the system of government which all good Americans affect to be lieve right really is right tho outcome of the mass of brain must conserve the interests at stake more thoroughly than that of the sequestered and uncompan ionable wisdom. If the tender conscience of Mr. Cur tis' manly man is to rule how shall we regulate any kind of government, or will there be any government at all9 The child's conscience is as sacred to him as that of the parents is to them: so the child must not be disciplined against its own judgment. Mr. Curtis' man is hired to act as the Secretary of a company doing legitimate business, and if this Secretary fimls. after pro found thought, that his instructions are unwise, he will cease to follow them and immediately proceed to instruct himself. The duties of a subordinate are necessarily of an executive charac ter; but it is not difficult for him, if he be a truly manly individual, to assume the duties and the authority of his su perior. Why. with the same principle of action carried ont, should not the ordinary soldier refue to obey the or ders of men higher in command? And what is to prevent the President of the United States ignoring the laws enact ed by Congress and substituting then for laws enacted of and bv huT sover eign will? Mr. Curtis is careful not to sav that the delegate of a convention should re fuse to act. In most of the cases men tioned the emergency of the manly man can be escaped by resignation: but the delegate, though as. Mich he repre sents not hU own views so much a. those of the locality to which he be- f longs, must value hii personal nrefer- enees ana not at an tnose 01 nis con stituents. And then, the nominations having been made, he must consult hi . - - own wisdom and ignore that of tho as sembled multitude. His knowledge and his pnrity are better than those oi the majority. He "flocks alone," grand, gloomy and peculiar. The con vention must come to him; he can not go to the convention. He is modest, however; be readily grants that the convention has as gobdT a right to bolt hU nomination as be has lojbolt its nomination. Perhaps, as the truly luanhr aiaa seems to think, the subject ends rirht here: aad yet it fa really an imterestiag qaestkm what kind of roTermmeet we should have, or if we saoald hare any gorereeaee at all, if tha rale f tkk tralj.
