Tom said, playfully : “ Lucky here, my boy, why not take some of that counsel. to yourself? There are two of these women and but one of me." Henry blushed slightly, and. looking for- ward. answered. with aolemnity ; " My dear ’I‘cm. if I should ever look for a Wife. my best chances.

I was called to visit a dying girl in one of the worst bells in our suburbs. For protrction of character I was obliged to take my col- league. In that abode of horror there lay on a couch u daughter of rarest beauty. I see to-night those lustrous, liquid eyes. shaded by the k-ndly lids, whose jetty fringe kissed her soft cheek's hectic tinge. I see her wistful look of pathetic sweetness and woe. which would wake the fountain of tears from the hardest heart. But where was the man of so called romantic love who decoyed that daughter from her green mountain home by lies and protests- tions? Was he moved by compassion? Nothing of the sort. I saw the marble. hearted fiend toying with the vileat of the outcasts in another room, while his victim. away from fond mother. her ear to be no more banqueted by the voice of love. was dissolving inlc ,death And this dread tragedy of wickedness and woe is going forward in our city night.
