In tho elegantly furnished drawing-room of a Wost ond mansion sat a young mau whoso gonteol bearing, broad, noblo brow, from whioh his chestnut hair was tossed baok in gracoful carelessness, and large, thoughtful oyes bespoko him to bo ono of nature's nobloraon. He was evidently waiting impatiently for some ouo; for, os a slight noise wan heard on thc landing, ho would start and Ox his eyes eagerly upon . tho door. At last npparonlly unable to sit still any longer, ho aroso, and walking to tho window stood tapping nervously on tho glass, and wa to Ii od with listless eyes tho olia m cleon liko crowd that passod. Whilo thus oooupiod ho failed to hoar a slight rustic as a girlish figuro entered tho room and glid ing softly to his side, touched him lightly upon tho arm. His quick start and tho loving, gent?o manner in whioh ho gathered her to his heart, showed at a glance that they woro lovers. - Whilo they- hold sweet converso let us pauso a moment, whilo I describe my horoino. Sho was of medium height, of a slender, dolioato figure, possessed of a nameless graco of movement, which added to hor olhor charms, . had won her tho name of "Nellie, tho Irresistible." lier beauty was of tho truo blondo typo, and clad as sho was in a shining bluo dress she looked worthy of thomaino. On her arms gloamcd with tawny lustro, broad goldon bauds; and from ono of these, suspcudod by a small ohain, hung a tiny hoart shaped locket, ono sido of whioh boro a forget-me-not set. of turquoise, with a brilliant diamond spark ling in tho center. Guy Hartley, for suoh was our hero's name, had oallod, glad, of on excuse, to acquaint Nellio with somo arrangement which ho had just coin plc tod with regard to their soon npproaohiug marriage; and, after a short time passed in pleasant oon vorsation ho reluctantly arose, aud bidding a'tender adieu to tho fair girl, left thc house with a firm, elastic tread. Hardly had ho taken his departure, when tho front door bell again rang, and ouco moro a young gentleman was ushered into tho drawing-room. Tho newcomer was tall and slight, with jct black hair, and a piercing look in tho black oyes that boded no good touu enemy. As ho sank into a chair, something glistening upon tho floor caught his oyo; and as ho recognized it ho could acareo refrain from a shout of ploauurc; for Frod Aoton had long been thc secret rival of Guy, caoh striving to wiu tho hand of fair Nellio Pornoroy. And now, as ho hold in his grasp tho tiny locket, whioh by somo evil chanco had become detached from tho braoclct ou Nellie's arm, ho folfc that he possessed an almost certain means of rovonge on Guy, and stand, perhaps, a bettor ohsnoo of winning tho fair girl for his wife; for tho locket, as ho kuow, had been Guy's first love gift to Nellio, sud was prized as ono of her choicest possessions. At this inomon t tho footman entered tho parlor, presenting Miss Pomcroy's regrets, and a roqucs't that Mr. Aoton would exouso har that aftornoon. Tho truth was that with hor womanly intuition sho had long divined tho secret whioh ho had thought only known to himself alone; aud having ever treated him with polite indifference, ?ho felt loss inolinod now than over to ouduro a tete-a-tcic with him. Rising as tho footman entered with hoi message, and scarcely ablo to oonooul the pleasure it afforded him at this moment, when ho was still trombling with tho four ol having boen seen as ho hastily hid thc shining bauble in his bosom, ho loft Im oomplinionta aud departed. Going dirootly to a jowolor's, ho pur ohnsod a small ring, with which ho fastened tho locket soourcly to his watch ohain, and then sauntered down tho street, in tho hope of mooting Guy. His wish was destin od tobo fulfilled; for ho woe shortly gratified by seeing Guy approaching, with a sorono, oontontod look on his handsome fa**-. As they stoppod to ?I.?i-, L\od, as if nnx ?OUS to conceal something, placed his hand oarelossly on his watch chain; but Guy, na was intended, notiood tho aotion, and said, laughingly: ?What is it that you aro so jealously guarding, Fred? A lovo tokon from somo fair lady?" "Yos; but for foar that it might blight your hopos in that dircotion, porhups I had bettor not show it to you just at present," lttttghod falso Fred, norvously. ??Oh, novor foar for mol" said Guy, ?for I havo already oagod my bird, 'and 00shall not provo a dangorous riyal to your suit." ?Well, thoo, behold!" ropliod Fred, re moving his hand, ana disolosing to viow tho tiny looket. Guy turned as palo as dooth; but mas tering his omotion by a violent offort, ho ploy fully insisted upon knowing tho nanto of Fred'? oharmor. - "Oh, como," said Frod, "you aro feign ing innocence; for suroly you must havo often soon this trinket upon tho arm of fair'Noll, tho Irresistible,' who-ha? thia doy bestowed it upon mons a pledge of hor tV Out? stood as if tur.nil to stone while this llippaut npeeeh wnw being rattled out, and then, with a foW ootntnonplaoo words, passed on, but his tread was not as frOo and oluatio as before bu met Fred, and bis hoad, which thou had bcon raised proudly,, wus now boot forward dojeotodly; for a dark oloud had suddenly ariaou, whioh tbroatonod to overshadow forovor tho bright morning of his happiness. Fred watohed him pass on with a sar donio smilo on, his handsomo yet sinistor fuco, and thought to himsolf, "Ali, my fino follow, 'there's many n slip 'twixt tho oup and. tho lip,' as you. may y find to your cost; and then you will know tho cousequcnoos of standing in tho way of Frod Aoton!" * * * * That ovoniug, iu hor luxurious homo, N'dlio watched ?nd listened in vain for tho familiar footsteps shu had loamed to know so well; and eho rctirod to rest at Inst, sad and dispirited, and with a dim senso of imponding trouble,- that was yet too vaguo to shape itself into connected thought. Tho noxt morning, ns tho family woro gathered around tho breakfast tablo, a servant cntorud tho room with a noto ad dressed to ''Miss Pomeroy." Grasping it eagerly, spasmodically, Nellie toro it open and with blunohcd faoo read tho following bronnie note: NELLIE: All is ovor between us. Thank God I havo discovered your poi tidy before it was too lato. I had tho fullest confidence in you, Nollie; but that is past now. I loavo for Franco to-morrow, never, I trust, to revisit this country, whioh would now bo but a sad homo for mc. Your ouco devoted lovor, GUY HARTLEY. Mr.. and Mrs. Pomeroy, occupied in their own conversation, had uot noticed thc sudden paling of their daughter's fuco, os oho hurriedly soannod tho familiar writing, till, na eho roached tho fatal termination, hor.eyc8 closed, and with a low moan of agony abo sank to tba floor in a death Uko swoon. + # * * For livo yoars Guy wandered through Europe, for five years ho vainly shrove to find forgetfulucsa and happiucss in constant excitement and chango of ace nc; hut failing in this ho ?md at last resolved to visit again tho laud of his birth, if only to mark tho ravages whioh time lind made among his old friends. So ho returned to London. Not onco hada suspicion of Fred Acton's troaohory crossed bia mind, for to Guy ho had always shown tho hotter port of his nat uro; besides thc proof of Nollio's dupli city hud seemed too conclusivo to admit of any lingering doubt his lovo migltl have Fuggcstcd. And Nellie? Thrown iuto a nervous fever bj tho cruel noto from Guy, she wa vered long between lifo and death; hut finally her perfect constitution gained tho victory, and she again mingled in tho gay world of fashion; but a certain sadness was porooptihlo in her manner, and a weary look in her bluo oyes showed that her heart was uot interested in tho gay scones by whioh sho wos surrounded. Vainly hod Fred Aoton suod for her hand. Fooling that ho was in somo manner con nootod with Guy's mysterious behavior, sho bad ouly scorn, to give him. At first eho had hoped that some trivial aot of hors had displeased Guy and ho would soon roturn, but as thc weeks rolled on and no word came from tho absent one, she finally ceased to expect him. Fred Acton, after repeated refusals from Nellie, hod ot lost given up all hopes of winning her hand; but loving her still, n's muoh as his selfish nature waa capable of loving, ho attempted to drown his sorrow in tho wino cup; and, with drinking and fast horses, was rapidly eating up tho ha mb somo proporty left him by his father. Une day, whilo riding at break nook speed, his horse, frightened at a fluttering rag, shied, and threw him. When tho hostil) summoned physician lind examined his wounds, ho pronounced him mortal!) wounded. Knowing, then, that for him all thought! of rovengo on Guy were ^useless, and tba ho must soon roudor up an account of hil evil deeds, his thoughts tu'rncd to Nollie with a fecblo wish that ho could uudo tlx wrong he had dono hor. So ho diotatci a lottor,. confessing his ein, begging he forgiveness, and containing tho locket, om dispatohod it to tho injured girl, who, tru woman that .ibo was, could not but pity th dying man, bitterly as ho had wronged hot and, tliiit ho might not dio thinking him self unforgiven, sent a note lo tho hotel t whioh ho had boon carried, but tho mos songor reached Micro only in lino to hen that tho unhappy Fred Acton had breatho his lost. ^< ?^C j^C Guy had supposed that Nellio and Frc wero long since married; but hardly ha i ho set foot in London when ho was recognize | and accosted by ono of his old friends, win ( among tho gossip ho had to relato concern ing Guy's old circle of acquaintances, met. tionod tho fact of Fred Acton's death, an also said that Mies Pomeroy was as beaut ful os evor, but unmarried. At this, Guy | heart throbbed wildly, and his brain alma roded with tho idea that perhaps his ow I rashness had dashed tho cup from his lip Could there havo been trcaohory in Frc 1 Aoton's conduct, und had ho wronged Noll all tlioio weary years? Wildly ho asked himsolf theso quostioi whilo on tho way to his hoto), ond by tl timo ho had arrived there ho had rosolvi that ho would at lonst seo Nollio and ha' an explanation with her. Oooo moro I turned his steps toward tho woll knov houso whore ho had spont tho happie hours of his life; onoo moro ho was ushon into tho familiar room whoro ovon tho pu turcs on tho walls Boomed to smilo on hi in friendly rooognition. lironzod by trav< tho old family servant failed to romomb him, BO ho gavo no na inn, merely icqucstir to soo Miss Pomeroy. Nollio soon appeared; but hardly had si orossod tho threshold whoa tho oyes of lo1 recognized him, nnd with a wild sorcani "Guy, door Guy!" sho waa foldod to h boort. Long explanations followed. Nell told of tho loss of hor lookot on tho day Guy's last visit, and how sho had rcgrotti it, being his gift. Siro also told of tl dying confession of h rod Aoton, and li restoration of her locket, which sho show? him, worn on a bluo ribbon about her noo Guy; penitent but loving, was fully foi given by his dc?ply,wronged Nollio, wh in tho joy of such a reunion, had DO boa io bluuio biiu. Soou aftor tborb wes a grand wedding io tbo statoiy mansion; and, although tho fair bride's ornaments woro milk whito pearle, thoro hung suspended from the control olustor of her ucoklaoo a tiny locket, bearing ou it a bluo forget-me-not. A. Few Facts About tbo lllblc. Tho Biblo was translated into old English in tho yoar 1870 by Wyoliffo. Tho New Testament was rendered into modern English by Ty udallin 1520, and tho Old Testament by Bishop Coverdale in 1585. Tho verses woro not numborod until the ?ear 1580, in an edition called tho "Goneva Kblo." King James I (1608-1525) ordered a new Koglish translation, whioh, howovor, is only a thorough rovision of tho formor editions. This WOB published in tho year 1011, and has been tho ono only and stand ard edition of tho Holy, Scriptures in tho English language ever since. Tho Psalms woro mainly writton by David, sou of Jesse, and tho fathor of Solomon, who reigned os King over Israel from 1055 to 1015 B. C. As devotional compositions thoy havo been iu uso for nearly 8,000 years. . Tho word "Psalm" is from tho Orcok, meaning a sacred soug. Tho word "Psalter" ?J from tho Greek also, and indicates by its origin a collection of pious songs set to music. Tho Jews in oldon times had a saying that heaven was to bo won by a daily uso of tho 103d and 145th Psalms. Psalms of especial thankfulness arc tho 40th nnd tho 11th. Tho mau who is peculiarly blcssod is described in the 1st, 13d, 112th and 128th Psalms. A fear of God's judgments is set forth in tho Gth, 38th and 88th Psalms. For a despairing and desponding mind, tho 13th, 22d,01st and 74th Psalms. Tho comfort uf children, is tho 127th and 128th Psalms. Perhaps no portion of tho Bible hos bean moro frequently repeated thou thc 23d. Cromwell's "fighting Psalm" was tho 109th. In perils of tho soa, and amid dangers upon thc great deep, men called upou God iu thc 107th Psalm. Tho seven "Penitential Psalms," so called, aro tho 6th, 32d, 3Sth, 5bt, 102d, 130th and 147th. God seen in special providences, is 44lh, 78th, 106th and 114th Psalms. There is no Psalm so deeply penitent as thc 51st. Luthor's favorito was tho 46th. Tho 37th is ono of tho most praoticolly useful. Tho 129th is regarded as tho most sub limely eloquent. How tho whole heart pours out itself in love io tho 116th Psalm. Ci rent trust in God i? the 68th. Tho 10th is tho "bouutiful Psalm." The 31th is said to bo tho Christian's Psalm. Thc 130th is very celebrated; thc oldcu Christians called it "Do Profundis." In seasons of impending danger from pestilence, thc 91st hos been most in uso. Tho Amorioan Revolutionary Congress met Scptombcr, 7lh, 1774, and calling in n clcrgoman to offer prayers, ho used the Psalms for thu day, whioh begin with tho 35th: "Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with mc; light against thurn that fight against me." John Adams thought it a most significant circumstance. 3Iary Queen of Scots repealed tho 81st Psalm just beforo her execution. Tho 103d Psalm is composed of praise arul consolation, fittod for a dying soul. Psalm 104 was denominated "Cosmos" by Baron Yon Humboldt. It is thc easiest thing in tho world to find fault. It is easy to say that nobody is honest. It is cosy to say the church is to blmno for it. It is easy to say that tho church would bo nil right if tho minister would preach und do as ho ought. But it isn't easy to look on the best sido, to sec that there aro hundreds of faithful preach ers, thousands of honest, sincero men and women, countless nets of justice, charity and humanity whioh outweigh all. tho grumbling of all the grumblers, so that it is really only thc finest dust in tho balanoo. Let us bo fair and cheerful. Thc world is not all wrong. Everybody isn't c. rascal. Our neighbors arc not trying to cheat us. Thc church is doing a good work for tho world", and oven tho growlers oro not half j ns disagreeable as thoy secm4?
