I CANNOT AFFORD IT."
Mr. St. John entered the fash- i
ionable dry-goods store of Lover
ing & Brothers to see one of the t
proprietors. b
"He has stepped out for a mn- u
men t," one of th;e clerks informed
him.
And withdrawing to an obscure i
corner, he stood watching, with a
balf-amused, half-comical look up
on his handsome face, the streams
of gaily attired women that floated a
past him, gazing with envious and tj
admiring eyes upon the rich fa-'
bries, of every hue and texture,
that were suspended from the ceil
ing and spread out on the broad e
counters.
Many of them were known to
him but he was in no mood to
'meet the sparkling glances and a
gay sallies that he knew would be
showered upon him if he made i
them aware of his presence ; for n
ir. St. John was rich and a bach
elor, and had been so flattered and a
besieged by ambitious niammas h
with marriageable daughters as to
.nake him almost resolve t& always r,
remain one. sl
So he stood back in the shadow, el
marking with curious eye, uncon- a
scious betrayals of the natural dis- 15
positions, like glimpses of feminine s
human nature and which the dear
creatures would not have had him L
observe for the world. ti
As he stood there the two Misses I
Parker came in, charming and d
brilliant girls, in whose society he
had passed many a pleasant hour. b
Th.y were lavish in their pur- ti
chases. And Mr. St. John con- t]
trasted their smiling faces with
the care-worn face of their father,
v,hom he met in the street scarce
ly an hour before, hurrying from
one friend to another to borrow r
money to pay a note on the point
of being protested ; their lively
chatter jarred harshly on his ears. r
"Isn't it lovely !" exclaimed one j
of the sisters, holding up some b
coitly lace trimmings. -I suppose
pa will scu'd when he sees the bill;
but so he wouli if it were onl I
half as large."
"To be sure he would," respond- h
ed the other. "And I'm not going
to let the Dayton girls outshine
me, yu may be certain. It's my
belief that they give the party
simply on account of St. John's re-- t
turn from Europe. Isuppose they tj
are trying to catch him for Geor- l
gianna. Did you ever hear any- n
thing so ridiculous ?"
"-Never! Such horrid taste as
the girl has in dress. too! She
showed mc the new silk she is *o
ing to wear.- Would you believe d
it? It is blue! And she is dark t
as -n Indian."
-Th't i; for the benefit of Mr. t
St. John ; it is his favorite color- t
J met im on the streetyesterday.
Hfow tall and handsome he has
grown !"
"Yes, and he is so rich ! Paa
says he is worth half a million, if f
not more." L
IIere the two gils passed tlong
out of sight and hearing, quite un- t
conscious of their proximity to s
the subj et of their remar-ks.
"Good heavens," was Mr. St.
John's inward reflection ; "are all t
.womnen so heartless, so wrapped
in vanity and display ?" a
lie was about to quit the store t
W in disgust when his attention was
arrested by a low and gentle voice, i
which aroused a host of vague butt
pleasant recollections. He tur-ned
eagerly in the direction whence it 1
proceeded ; and as ins eyes rested C
upon a slender, neatly attir-ed lady,
they lighted up with pleasure. i
A woman would have noticed
that the bonnet, though neat and f
fresh, was not of the latest style.
and the mantle of last season's
fashion ; but men rarely observe
such. things. All that St. John e
saw was the gr-aceful form, the
fair and gitle fa,ce of the wearecr. e
a Sweet R o..:e Lennox !" ho
thought, "she looks as lovely and
fragrant as her name ! Can hier; c
fresh and guileless natur-e be so s
perverted as to cat-e for- nothings
but otutward show ?
In the meantitme Rose made a
few simple purchases, quite uneon
scious of the eyes that wet-e follow
ing her every look and motion.
"Is that all, Miss Lennox ?" said
the clerk.e
"'All to-day."s
"If you wvere thinking of getting;
a dress, I can show you somethitngs
that will smit you."
"As I cannot purchase, I will s
not trouble you," was the low and
quiet reply. -
"No trouble at all, Miss," said
the clerk unrolling the goods, and
spreading it out upon the counter.
It was a heavv. lusttous silk
brown with a ;;int of gold in it
not unlike the color of the soft'a
hair that shaded her forehead.
It caught the eye of the Par-ker
girls who were passing, and they
gathered eagerly around it.
"Wts just the sweetest thing IJ
ever saw !" exclaimed the eldest,
en thusiastically. "Why don't you
* get it, Rose ! You have- nothing
for the party next Thu:rsdiay. and
"Only four dollars a yard," sug
ested the clerk, gathering up thc
ilk in heavy folds, so as to display
,s lustre and beauty.
There was not the slightest
)uch of envy or regret in the soft
lue eyes that rested admiringly
pon it.
"It is very pretty and quite rea
>nable, too; but I cannot afford

pect ; though it was conduct they

aguely comprehended.
St. John made inquiries in re
ard to Mr. Lennox the next day,
nd learned that he had sustained
>me heavy losses, but was still
ipposed to be doing a good busi
ess.
Presuming on former acquaint
nce he resolved to call at his
ousc.
Despite the adulation he had
,eeived and his really flue per
nal advantages, St. John was no

Rose was among them, and the
lush that mounted to her checek,

icir eyes met, spoke a warmer
-elcome than even her father's
Ktended hand and cordial greet
But having testified, by looks
itber than words, her pleasure at
.eing him, Rose left the enter
tniment of their guest to her pa
mnts. And, disappointed as St.
ohn was, he could not but admire
or utter unconsciousn-ss that his
isit was intended for her, and ab
nce of all desire to attract his
oiicd.
As he conversed witi ket- father,
is eyes wandered to the place
here she sat, sewing; noting
very expression of the pure, young
ce, even to the quivers of the
lden-brown lashes that shaded
ie rose tinted cheek, especially
le sweet, womanly charm of her
w quiet tones and geutle move
tents.
The richest party robe never
oked half so lovely as that sim
le, home dress of brown merino,
-orn with no ornament, save a
ainty ruffle at the wrist and
iroat.
"You will be at Mrs. Dayton's
)-morrow evening?" hc contrived

"No, I am not going."
A shade of disappointment cross
d St. John's facee, almost immfedi
tely followed by a gleam of satis
etion as a happy thought struck
imn.
The next evening IPose was sit
ng in the parlor qui.e by her
alf.
Hecr mother was up stairs with

br preparing to go out.
Mr. Lennox looked in upon her
moment as he passed through

"Do you regret your decisior,

"No indeed, papa," returned
lose, smiling brightly into that

Mr. Lennox laid his hand loy

"My blessmng! If I pass success

ave given me."
"Are things looking any bright

"A great deal brighter, my

The heart of Rose echoed this

"A gentleman to see Miss Rose,'
aid1 Kate, opening the door.
Rose lifted her eyes and the ob
et of her thoughts stood before
er.
'-Not sorry to see me, I hope ?"
aid St. John, taking her unr'esist
aig hand in his.
-Sorry ?" Rose turned her eyes
round that he might not see howv
oft and radiant they were.
"Oh, no," she faltered ; "I-I
ras only surprised. I thought
ou would be sure to be at Mrs.
)ayton's this evening."
"Shall I tell you why I did not.
o?" inquired Mr. St. John, as he
ook a seat by her side.
The cheeks of Rose grew red
flower from which she was named.
"I was just thinking about you,
and wishing that I could thank
you for the kindly office you per
formed for my dear father."
"I am going to ask him to per
form a far more kindly one ; to
give to my keeping the brightest I
and sweetest rose that ever bloom
ed. When he asks me what your
wish is, oh Rose-what shall I tell
him?" 1
What Rose told him could he
easily inferred by any one who
looked in upon the two a few min
utes later, and saw how quiet the
hand of Rose rested in St. John's
as though it was the most natural
resting place i could find.
Rose was as modest as lovely.
"I don't see how you came to
choose mue. Paul, when surrounded
by so many stylish and brilliant
women."
"Who could so gladly do their
best to dissipate my fine fortune,"
returned St. John. laughing.
He then told Rose the little
scene he had witnessed in the:
store of Lovering & Brothers, and 1
he had resolved then and there, to
do his best to win her, who when
tempted to expenditures beyond
her means had the strength of';

It is a pleasing fact that women
are awakening to a just sense of
the cruelty with which their fall

from recovery, by the rigor of
th.ii proscription, and the depths
of social infitmy to which they
have been consigned. It is in
deed necessary that virtue anid in

of women of the town comes from
their irreclaimable state, fromi
their consciousness that the edict

differences as to circumstances or

sentence shall have been relaxed.
