Truly sis- 5 " = St > terly affection was . s a holy and a ucau- . - tiful thing ! She had read as much in moral philosophy , and likewise in poetry. Few feelings could compare with it in unselush fer vor and constancy. And , as she had said , Edward was one brother in ten thousand and not to be compared with common men. She began the preparations for the two pursuant to her drive at half-past , husband's directions. Not that she expected to leave the house that after noon , Edward's judgment being , in her estimation , but cne remove from infal libility ; she could not believe < hat the trial of the horses would result as Mr. Withers had predicted , hut that they would he remanded to the stable and custody of the unreliable jockey with out appror.ching her door , or gladden ing Harriet's ces. . Nevertheless , the order had gone forth that she should don her cloak , furs , hat and gloves be fore three o'clock , and Mr. Withers would be displeased were he to relurn at five and find her in her home dress. Harriet tapped at her door before she was half ready. "Just to remind you , my dear ma dam , " she said , sweetly , "of what iry cousin said about keeping the horses standing. " She was equipped cap-a- pie for the excursion , and Constance re newed her silent accusation of imper tinent forwardness as she saw her trip down stairs to take her station at a front window , that "my cousin" wight see , at the first glance , that she wr.s ready and eager fcr the promised and because promised by him certain pleasure of the jaunt. Constance was surprised , five minutes before the hour designated , to hear a bustle and men's voices in the lower hall. They had really come- then , in spite of her prognostications. . Draw ing on her gloves that she might not be accused of dilatoriness , she walked to the door of her chamber , when it was thrown wide against her by her maid. "Oh , ma'am ! " she blubbered , her cheeks like ashes and her eyes bulging from their sockets. "May all the bless ed saints have mercy upon ye ! There's been the dreadfullest accident ! Them brutes of horses has run away , and Mr. Witherses and Mr. Edward is both killed dead ! They're a bringing them up-stairs this blessed minit , and" catching her mistress's skirt as she dashed past her "you ' re not to be frightened , ma'am , the doctor says ! He sent me up for to tell you careful ! " Unhearing and unheeding , Constance wrested her dress from the girl's hold , and met upon the upper landing of the staircase four men bearing a senseless form. The head was sunk upon the breast , and the face hidden by the shoulders of there who carried him. but her eyes f ll instantly tipov5 the right hand , which hung looselyy" his side. She recognized the fur gauntlet that covered it as one of a pair of riding- gloves she had given Edward Withers at Christmas , and which he had worn since whenever he drove or rode. She bad seen him pocket them that morn ing before going out. "Mrs. Withers ! my dear lady ! you really must not touch him yet ! " said the attendant physician , preventing her when she 'vould have thrown her arms about the injured man. He pulled her back by main force , that the body might he carried into the chamber she had just quitted. "Let me go ! Let me go ! Do you hear me ? " her voice rising into a shrill scream that chilled the veins and pained the hearts of all who heard'it. "Dead or alive , he belongs to me , and to no one else ! Man ! how dare you hold me ? You do not know how much I loved him my darling ! Oh , mv dar ling ! " The doctor was a muscular man , hut , in her agony of despair , she was stronger than he , bade fair to master him , as she wrestled to undo his grasp upon her arms. "Is there no one in this place -ho can persuade her to be calm ? " he asked , imploringly , looking back down the stairs. There was a movement at the foot of the steps , then the crowd parted in stantly and silently , unnoticed by the frantic woman. She was still strag gling , threatening and praying to be released ; when a pallid face , streaked with blood , confronted her a tender hand touched her arm. "Constance , my dear sister , my poor girl , come with me ! Will you not ? " said com passionate tones. "She has fainted. That is the best thing that could have happened , " said the doctor , sustaining the dead weigat of the sinking figure with more ease than he had held the writhing one. They bore her ncross the hail to Ed ward's room as the most convenient ic- trcat for her in her insensible state , and while the maid-servant loosened her dress and applied restoratives , a more anxious group was gafikered in her apartment about her husband. His vis- ibis injuries were severe , if not danger ous. His collar bone and right arm were broken , but it was feared that there was Internal and more serious hurt. Just as a gasp and a hollow groan attested the return of conscious ness , a message was brought to Edward from the opposite bedroom. "She do call for you all the time , si" or I would not have made so bold aC ; o disturb ye , " said the girl who Jy | beckoned him to the entrance. "She is a hit out of her head , poor lady ! " "Where is Miss Field ? Why doer she not attend to Mrs. Withers ? " asked Edward , glancing reluctantly at his brother's bed. In after days he could smile at the recollection of the reply , uttered with contemptuous indifference : "Oh , .lie's a-going into high strikes on the back parlor sofy. " At the time , he was only conscious of impatience at the call of pity that obliged him t leave his perhaps dying relative in the hands of comparative strangers. He ceased to regret his com pliance when the tears that burst from Constance's eves at sight of him were not attended by the ravings which had terrified her attendants. He sat down upon the edge of the bed , and leaned over to kiss the sobbing lips. "My dear sister , precious child ! " he said , as a mother might soothe an affrighted daughter , and she dropped her head upon his shoulder , to weep herself into silence , if not composure. When she could listen , he gave her the history of the misadventure in a few words. Mr. Withers had insisted upon handling the reins himself. This accounted to the auditor for his use of Edward's gloves as being thicker than his , although their owner made no men tion of having lent them to him. The horses had behaved tolerably well un til they were within three blocks of home , when they had shied violently at a passing omnibus , jerked the reins from the driver's hands , and dashed down the street , the sleigh upset at the first corner , and both the occupants were thrown out , Mr. Withers striking forcibly against a lamp-post , while Ed ward was partially stunned against the curb-stone , They had been brought to their own door in a carriage , the younger brother reviving in time to alight , with a little assistance from a friendly bystander , and to superin tend the other's removal to the house and up the stairs. Constance heard him through with out interruption or comment , volun iarily raised her head from its resting place , and lay back upon her pillows , covering her face with her hands. One or two quiet tears made their way be tween her fingers ere she removed them , but her hysterical sobbing had ceased. "I am thankful for your safe ty , " she said so composedly that it sounded coldly unfeeling. "Now go back to your brother. He needs you , and I do not. I shall be better soon , and then I must bear my part in nurs ing him. If he should ask for me , let me know without delay. " She sent her servants out when he had gone , and locked her door on the inside. "Who'd have thought that she and Mr. Edward would take it so hard ? " said the cook , as exponent of the views of the kitchen cabinet. "If so be the masther shouldn't get over this , it will go nigh to killing her. I never knowed she were that fond of him. Ah. well , she ought to be , for it's her he'll leave well provided for , I'll be bound ! Them as has heaps to l' ave has plenty to mourn for them. " An hour elapsed before Mr. Withers understood aright where he was and what had happened , and then his wife's face was the first object he recognised. It was almost as bloodless as his , yet she was collected and helpful , a more efficient coadjutor to the surgeons than was fidgety Harriet , whose buzzings end hoverings over the wounded man reminded Edward of a noisy and per sistent gad fly. The moved gentleness of Constance's tone in answering the patient's in quiries was mistaken by the attendants fcr fondest commiseration , and the family physician's unspoken thought would have chimed in well with the servant's verdict. Mr. and Mrs. With ers were not reputed to be a loving couple , but in moments of distress and danger , the truth generally came to light. No husband , however idolized , could be nursed more faithfully or have excited greater anguish of solicitude than spoke in her dry eyes and rigid features , even if her wild outbreak at first seeing him had not betrayed her real sentiments. In her calmer review of the scene , Constance could feel grateful for the spectators' misconception which had shielded her from the consequences of her madness ; could shudder at the thought of the ignominy she had nar rowly escaped. But this was not the gulf from which she now recoiled with horror and self-loathing that led her to avoid meeting the eyes bent curious ly or sympathetically upon her , and to cling to the nerveless hand of him whose trust she had betrayed. To him , her husband , she had not given a thought when the dread tidings of disaster and death were brought to her. What to her was an empty mar riage vow , what the world's reproba tion , when she believed that Edward laj- lifeless before her ? "Man ! j-ou do not know how I loved him ? " she had said. She might have added , "I never knew it myself until now. " And what was this love coming when , and as it did but a crime , a sin to be frowned upon by Heaven and denounced by man ? A blemish , which , if set upon her brow , as it was upon her scul , would condemn.her to be ranked with the out cast of her sex , the creatures whom austere matronhood blasts with light nings of indignant scorn , and pure vir gins blush to name.

"Certainly not ! Nothing would give me more pleasure ! " As he said it , the respondent turned with a pleasant smile to his sister-in-law , Avho was pouring out her husband's chocolate at a stand set in front of his lounge. She started perceptibly at the prop osition and her hand shook in replacing the silver pot upon the tray. "I could not think of it ! " she said hastily. "It is kind and thoughtful in you to sug gest it , Einathan , but , indeed , I greatly prefer to remain at home. " "It is my preference that you should go ! " The invalid spoke decidedly , but less irascibly than he would have done to anyone else who resisted his author ity. "It is now four weeks since my accident , and you have scarcely left the house in all that time. You are grow ing thin and pale from want of sleep and exercise. " "I practice calisthenics every day , as you and Dr. Weldon advised , " re joined Constance , timidly. "But within doors. You need the fresh out-door air , child. You have taken such good care of me , that I should be very remiss in my duty , Avere I to allow you to neglect your own health. " He had grown very fond of her with in the period he had mentioned , and showed it , in his weakness , more open ly than dignity v/ould have permitted , had he been well. He put his hand up on her shoulder as she sat upon a stool beside him , the cup of chocolate in her hand. "Recollect ! I must get an other nurse should your health fail. You see how selfish I'am ? " A jest from him was noteworthy , for its rarity ; but Constance could not form h r lips into a smile. They trembled instead in replying. "I see how good and generous you are ! Inill drive , if you insist upon it , but there is not the slightest necessity for your brother's escort. John is very careful and attentive. Or , if you wish me to have company , I Avill call for Mrs. Mel- len. She has no carriage , you know ? " "Send yours for her whenever you like , by all means. But , until I am able to accompany you , it is my desire that Edward shall be with you in your drives whenever this is praticable. My late adventure has made me fearful , I suppose. Call this a sick man's fancy , if you will , my dear , but indulge it. At twelve , then , Edward , the carriage will be ready. Ascertain for yourself before you set out that the harness is all right , and have an eye to the coach man's management of the horses. " ( TO HE COXTIN-UBU. FEATHERED LOVERS. The aiale Sous Bird Studies His r.adj-2 \Vants. A class of lovers that may well he considered is that of which the blue bird is one conspicuous example and the goldfinch another the class in which the females do all the work of nest-building , while the males devote themselves to singing , says the Chau- tauquan. At first thought these males are so very much like some men that we all know men who are pretty and are given to compliments and who are enabled to dress well through the wis dom and labor of their wives that they are slightingly spoken of by near ly all students of bird habits. Even the gorgeous Baltimore oriole is but half complimented , for he only occa sionally helps at the nest-making. But let the observer consider the cases of these birds a little further and it ap pears that the oriole , at least , is de serving of sympathy rather than faint praise. No one can watch the oriole lady at her knitting for any length of time without seeing her good man try to help. He will bring something and offer to weave it in , but the chances are that the madam will first order him off and then , if he persists , make a dash at him with her bill that sends him mourning to another tree. He really mourns , too , though in silence. I have known of a case where a male oriole sat watching his wife for a half hour without singing a single note. The bluebird , too , is often treated very brusquely by his little better half. The truth is the poor fellows who have been derided for singing in idle de light while their wives toiled are not a little henpecked. The goldfinch can not be called henpecked but he certain ly does not deserve censure. Madam huilds her nest because she can do it better than he can. That he would like to help is perfectly plain to one who watches , for he goes with her as she flies away for material , sits by her as she picks it up and flies hack with her as she returns to the nest to weave it in. And wherever he , goes he bub bles over vvith song. People who blame the males for not helping to build do not understand , I think , the difference between work as we see it and work as birds see it. To us labor is drudg ery ; to the birds it is delightful play. How Tt Happened. Aunt Mary "But tell me , how did you happen to marry him ? " " 3ertha "Why , you see , everything was ready.

In reply to the question , is it wise for a man to deny himself a few hours' sleep a day to do more work , Tcsla , the great electrician , f > aid : "That is a great mistake , I am convinced. A man has just so many hours to he uwakc and the fewer of these he uses up each day. the more days he will last ; that is , the longer he will live. 1 belie\o that a man might live 200 years if he would sleep most of the time. That is why negroes often live to advanced old age , because they sleep so much. It is said that Gladstone sleeps seventeen hours each day ; that is why his facul ties are still unimpaired in spite of his great age. The proper way to econo mize life is to sleep every moment that it is not necessary or desirable that you should be awake. " Color in IIoukp I'lirnlsliln s. Even the iron bedsteads have turned green.
