W One nmonp tie, however, scem-p ed to take no interest in our path K orings, or itt anv ot our pleasure? parties; ami Charles Meredith's? coldness and reserve was frequent? suhiect of comment. estM>ciitll vB among the ladies. Yotitis and at I tractive lie certa.nl}' wjw, and pka nnefnre, I asked where he had gone; hut Mis. Iloss did not seem to hear my question; and I impatiently ex claimed to Annie Fay, who stood near me: " It is very strange why Mi. Meredith thus suddenly tales his departure. Have yon any idea of the time of his return fc" " He will not return at all, Mr. Brook field, for he " Here Annie suddenly stopped, and casting a quick, confused glance at my face. 6heturned away. 1 looked after the little sprite in Bitrpriec. Why should she know inv tiling of Meredith's affairs?" I thought; "and certainly she does, tor alio appeared strangely con flined The next week, I packed my trunk and started off also, with no particular determination of destination in view. I visited every studio and art gallery I came across, however, half in search of Charlee Meredith, and half despairing of ever seeing him again. My efforts were unavailing. 1 never met Mr. Charles Meredith again. At last I settled myself in a fine old city, offering me many induce I mentg to remain. Having several] influential friends in tho place, l| soon found myself in the midst of alt tho fashionable pleasures then at their height. Invitations poured in upon the successful artist, and my time was fully occupied. As I entered my studio, one afternoon, I found there an invitation to attend an entertainment given by Miss Helen Meredith. " Perhaps this young beauty and heiress is some connection of CharlesV' I thought, and accepted the invitation. The lady waa unknown to me by sight, but by rejx?rt she was no Btranger. On the specified even in#, 1 entered the brilliant saloons, accompanied by a friend who pretented me to the beautiful hostess. I noticed that tha lady turned hastily at the mention of my name; and 1 fairly started with surprise, for Clmrles Meredith himself teemed to stand before mo; only that the sad, worn look, did not rest upon his face, and, amid her surroundings, Miss Meredith aeerned peerlessly loisly. She must have notioad my long glances a her face, for lier cheek was jrlmson ; and merely spew lung my iumuo, alio turned a,wav. 1 was provoked at myself for ah owing a mere resemblanoe to dis nrb me so; and tlxm, drawn irrosisdWy, I tnmed to look at her agaifl, fcjul met her pvor fix??d full mv .n h?c.

At first,*,, because she reminded mo somuchA of the lost Charles Meredith, amlK; finally, because my heart was in*j her possession. A year flew by; and then I* asked Helen Meredith to bo mvA Iwife. She sat very quiet while Ik, was speaking; I could not help*, noticing how tight her hands woreSf clasped together and how gasping *} ly oame Iter breath.

After a short time, she was on aided to place her sister at a good school, where her health would he sure to receive proper attention.? For a time, the young artist labor ed incossr.ntly, scarcely leaving her canvass, and giving liersclfB, but few hours for recreation.
