Philander Darby entered the reading room of the Miocenes. At the granite threshold of the building he had hesitated, but the power of habit is strong, and for five years it had been . his habit to spend from one to three hours daily in the luxurious apartments set apart for the choice spirits composing his .club. lie had hesitated on this occasion, not because he had ever failed in being a welcome accession to the groups of young men usually to be found engaged in tho occupations ef the place, but, without doubt, because of tho unusual circumstances environing his ewa personality. For, the fact, is, it was the morning of Darby's marriage day. That evening the multiform benefaotions of . the uous, to him, wore to bo crowned by the gift of a wife of hiB own heart's choosing. Undcr theso circumstances, therefore, it was perhaps natural that tho bride-groom-elect should hare hesitated to brave the attention his presence was sure to cnll forth in the rooms of tho Maecenas. Luckily, when he entered, there were not half a dozen fellows present, and theso were in a group at one of the tables, cvidontly engrossed in the discussion of some subject calculated to divide interest with the topio naturally suggested by the unconscious of selfCODBciousness of tho new arrival. They were high-bred young bloods, those of the Maecenas. The courtesy of thoir greeting to Darby may liftve bcon a trifle more pronounced than usual, that was al'# Not tho lift of an eyelid, as they made room for him, betrayed cognizance of the happy doatiny they knew to to be imminent for him. His best man expectant, Ilardin Qolden, displayed admirablo finesse in sotting all parties at easo. 'Wo have just been discussing the freak of fate which has victimized poor Darrow,' he said, addressing Darby. fDarrow?what of him?' 'Man alive I Have you not heard?' Why, the morning papers aro full of tho shocking occurrence.' The papers I havo neglcoted to look into; I ?I have been otherwise engaged,' stammered Darby. Hardin nodded. I understand. Well, Harrow, poor fellow, ,mct on awful death last evening.' 'It can't bo possible! Why, I walked with him onCarlcton l'erraco as late as G o'clock, and when 1 parted from him ho told me he waa going directly home.' 'Tee, Yet it was not two blocks distant from the terrace where he was tripped by tho trailing -r n ?.?]?irrnoh wire.

The flippancy of Bret Cosby jarred upon h mood : *It strikes toe that's about the style Death adopted these latter days,' commented tb young fashionablo, breaking the silence. "He mi ill-mannered monster that's not got tho ] lilcness of a French dancing master, when pounces upon and waltses off to destrncti with a fellow, as he's done with Harrow.' 'Fata Jtnam invenient' muttered Qrantl 'J here were Giles, Fleming, and Hoyt, as i as Harrow.' There wns an uncomfortable pause, tragic deaths which had befallcu the quart of their mcr.ilcrs in the past eighteen rno were not enlivening events to revert to. ^'Thc mare that broke Fleming's ncck'had landed but a week in this country from An said Bret Cosby, 'one would think she crossed continents and seas, spurred oi three fateful hngs, so speedily did she a< plisb Fleming's doom on her arrival.'

The subject was one that stru comfortably upon the nerves of the grou Golden shook himself togetkor. 'It be the splitting of a hair to me,' he said cilly, 'to make choice between tlie bolt and the holt of elcotricity that kilted II< was hard for u fellow to be done to dee charge of lightniug when thers was not in the sky.' 'lloyt had been warned not to touch tery wires,' interposed Ilnirston.* Orantley shrugged his shoulders. I Lclievo you had also warned Jack n,at beastly Arabian, had not 10 uiiv? ^ Hardin?' Hardin absented. 'The Fntes lead the willing and dra Willing,' quoted Grantley. 'Who wai warn Giles or Harrow V For the matter of that,' flippantly Cosby, 'who can warn against tlio <1 may be lurkiug in ambush for the ti fellows that leaves the Maecenas?' Rendered restless by the turn th tiou had taken, Darby had moved tho group andwas leaving the room, the idle words Cosby had spoken, on as though he had not heard, doors swung and shut after him. 'After all it may not bo a pittilc! which ono gees, yeu see, Cosby, 1* din. 'What happier destiny could i of a Maecenas bachelor find awaiting him thau the wifely embraces of a woman like Carolyn <j( Lomnx. ^ Thcro's many a slip?" quotod Cosby. For- ^ tuno has a trick of smiling on Darby, I know; but she's a fickle beldame at best, and may play Mm false when he least expects it.' at 'I'd take Phil's chancos for the prise he's to so draw from her to-night, at all event,' said liar- 80 din. The floral bell is swinging already in the hall of Iho Lomnx homo roady for> his wedding chimes. Ha! speaking of tlio decorations that reminds me. Sariini, the florist, told mo ho had just received an importation of Itolian 1? plants, and I promised Darby I'd call by andtell in lriin to send up one of those superb moon-flowers 0t for Miss Lomnx. Snftini is certain he lias ono jQ that will put out its blossoms just about tho time ofthe marriage- Darby thinks that would bo a pleasing omen for his bride.' He returned his paper to tlio file and at once took his leavo to attend to the commission. A few hours later a baillinnt company was nr assembled in the parlors of tho Hon. Paul Lo- q, max. They had gathered there for tho ccle- f bralion of tho marriage of his daughter anl heiress to Philauder Darby. What fate was 1 there now which might balk tlio most sacred plans of the bridegroom's life? Still Fortune's sp favorite, he had already received at the alUr, pi consecrated by tho high priest, Love, her roost CJ gracious boon, in tho conjugal vows of tho . woman he adored, and, among her bridal guests his young wife wns moving, tho stateliest and KP loveliest of them all. ^1 In a pause in tho dance her eyes frankly met 'it his devouring gnze. He was st her side in a h; moment. ClJ 'Comewith mo awhile, can you not, Carolyn? ar he eagerly whispered. 'It is a mal inookory to me, this phantasmagoria of lights, flowers, and J nodding nud bobbing puppets, fsrevor intcrpos- ^ ing between you and me. Surely we may be fo entitlod to a quarter of an hour's emancipation of from the shackles of lea convenances.' w She smiled, and humoring his fancy, put her hand within his arm. . 'Whither would you have mo go? Thoro are P. lights and peoplo everywhere.' Bi: Ho looked down upon her, smiling. th 'The moon's rays only have a right to be pe whore our moon-flowor is opening its blossoms, fjj Dunbrek had less an artist's eyo had ho failed ca to see tho peculiar fitness of that alcove for tho ^ shy charms of our lunar plant.' at She moved at his side roseate and palpitant.

'Yes,' ho answered with gravity : 'yen, my i'a Carolyn, I have seen something lovelier.' iat She bowed her veiled hea l lower over tho ' ('a pretty flowers. A strong arm was passed over po- the slender figuro. he 'Oh, my beloved!' was whispered in her car, 10n 'these blossoms aro but insensate things, at best; don't waste your caresses upon thorn.

It is a long document, embracing over four thousand words. Tho Prcsidont says : 'I am of opinion that it may fairly be contended that under the provisions of this seclion any soldier whoso faculties of mind or body have become impaired by accident, discaso or age, irrespective of his Borvice iu tho army as the cause, and who by his labor only is left incapablo of gaining a fair support, ho might have provided for himself, and who is not so well endowed with this world's goods as to live without work, may claim to participate in its bounty. That it it is not required that ho should bo without property, but only that labor should bo necessary to his support in some degree. Nor is it required that ho should be now receiving support from others. Relieving this to bo the proper interpretation of the bill, I cannot but remember that tho sold- i iers of our civil war in their pay and bounty 1 received such compensation for military i service as has never been received by sold- j iers before sinco mankind first went to war ; 1 that never before on behalf of any soldiers | have so many aud such geuorous laws been < passed to relievo against the incidents of ] war ; that statutes have been passed giving < them prcfereuco in all public employments ; that the really needy and homeless Union i soldiers of the rebellion have been, to a large extcut, provided for at soldiers' homes stUutod and supported by the Govcrnn where they are maintained toother IVec frou, the scso of deKrada.io= which ? achCJ t0 lh , support of o b?f" the history of the oun ry las It bccn pro j ',e ,)n military srr. vice so rcceut, and whi re -n., i sj-nco. appeared so little to YoaJdlZ] -A IUuk Col.\ ?Philadelphia has been in quest lor ycum couiplotin/yits cabinet.
