She was certainly a lovely girl, each as any man might well be proud of knowing; at least so deemed to think her companion, Cecil Courtney, for he gazed and loved—and loving, gazed again. “Cecil,” she murmured, “Cecil.it seems strange, nay, almost impossible, that you should love ma, poor Grace Gardner, a lonely orphan, without friends or fortune, and more than all, your sister’s governess.” The manly face beside her flashed with a loving look as he replied: “ Strange, my darling, it may be, but not one whit the lees true, that I love yon with an intensity that shall ontlive every evil or ill that a cold and nnaym- wish and am bition of my life—home, friends and fortune—and willing commence to labor for the daily bread that your love and presence shall turn into veritable manna.” “ Oh, Cecil," she exclaimed, “it seems so terribly selflsh to allow you to.give up so much for met And who knows, you may some day regret so great a sacrifice? Nay, rather let me go away, and try to find peace away from yon; happiness were impossible.” ^‘Darling Gracip,” he exclaimed, in alarm, “ for my sake never mention such an idea again! What pleasure do you suppose all the riches of earth could afford me unless 1 had you to share them ?” “ Then, dear Cecil, I will say no more, only to beseech yon to press me no more to—to—” “ To marry me ?” he asked, laugh ingly. . “Yes,” she replied, bl ashing, “until you have avowed to Colonel and Mrs. Courtney yonr preference for my hnm- ble self. Who can fell what might ollow? Mrs. Courtney has been kind and considerate to mo during the short time I have been here; perhaps they may not despise my dependent position, and consenting to our union all may be bright and joyous.” “ 1 will do us you wish, love,” he re- died, fondly, “though 1 have little rope of success, for you do not know her as well as I do. Bnt if I fail, dar ling, will you promise to face poverty at once with me and become my bride ? I have a hundred a year—left me by an aunt—w ic my parents cannot touch or interfere with. This will keep us from want until I can meet with em ployment. Say, Gracie darling, shall it be so ? You do not fear poverty with me 7” “T'ear!” she exclaimed. “I fear nothing with yon.” He would have been less than a lover had he not ferventl inmy for P 1 he It was a glorious evening toward the close of July when, in a handsome room in a fashionable hotel of the Lake dis trict, Cecil Oonrtney sat alone with his beauteous bride. The evening sunset was lighting r.p lakes, mountains and woods with silent beauty. Grace had been busy writing, Amt her letter was finished, and as she raised her lovely head she exclaimed : “ Oh, Cecil, how perfectly enchant ing this funset is! My darling, yonr love is to me what the setting sun is to nature; it fills me with a bright, rosy hap piness, which changes my whole being, and makes it as bright as the setting sun makes yon lovely landscape 1” “ Heaven bless yon for saying, so, darling wife! Nothing on earth could add to the beauty of my beloved’s face, that is already perfect t” She bltuhed in silent happiness, and for awhile thev watched the glowing scene with a joy too deep for words. Presently he said, playfully : “And whom has my dear wife been writing to ? ’ “ To Lady Powis,” she replied, promptly, “though I must ask you in this one instance to excuse me from showing you the letter. Lady Fowls is an old friend cf my dear dead mother, and to her I owe more than words can express. She is immensely rich and very influential, and it ’was entirely my own fault that I took an engagement as governess instead of remaining with her. I have now written to inform her of my marriage, and it is just possible that she may be able and willing to find yon some suitable appointment.” “Yon dear, kind. _thou»l**<*** I cannot cay, bnt I hope she mu yonr sake; for 1 of seeing my'cUr ling attired in such costly raiment as this, and this,” he replied, touching al most reverentially her rich black silk dress and the beautiful lace she wore around wrists and neck. “ That would never grieve me,” said she, lightly. “ I shall be as happy in serge as in satin, if dear Cecil only loves me. However, before we make up our minds to poverty, let us wait and ree what Lady Powis has to say,” The return post brought a letter from Lady Powis, congratulating her dear Gracie upon the happy marriage she had formed; and then went on to invite the young couple to ccme to her on a visit as soon as their honeymoon was ended; wishing, however, that they would come on the morning of th«: first of Au gust, as on the evening of that day *he was to give a grand ball—the last of the season—in honor of the return of her niece, Lady Gertrude Gordon, from a three months’ visit to a cousin in Ger many. “ There now!” said Gracie, clapping her pretty hands. “ But you must order a ball dress, my love,” said Cecil; “ my pearl must be set in as fine gold as any other ut this ball.” “Oh, leave that to me, dear,” said she. “ Only you must promise me not to fall in love with Lady Gertrude." “ Is she very pretty, then ?’’ *• You .shall tell me if you think her so when you see her,” said Grace, laughing. The morning of the 1st arrived, and found Cecil and his bride with Lady Powis by noon. Grace was received with a loving welcome by her friend, who said that Lady Gertrude was rest ing for the evening, until when she would not appeay. There was to Be a plain dinner before the ball, at which two old friends were to dine en famille. And then, after awhile, with an apology, the lady left the young couple to their own resources until even in. dencewith yon fc l»hlle I was walking out with Mab after that we met every evening under the old elm tries. The pleasure of those happy hours made joyous the duties and restraints of my new position, which would other* wise hatre proved irksome,!' Then ap proaching Mrs. Courtney—who was weeping tears of shame and mortifica tion—said, sweetly: “Pardon, dear madame, the deception I practiced fipoh yon, and in a mother’s anxiety for the welfare of her son I can cheerfully ex cuse your apparent harshness to me. I have no mother; let mo find one now,” The haughty lady bowed her head, murmuring: “ Yon overpower me with your good ness; I am not worthy of it." Gertrnde kissed her affectionately, and then passing to the colonel, said: “ I see I need not plead here for a father’s kiss.” “Good heavens! no. Pd no idea there was such a beauty in my house, or I should have taken the young gen tleman’s part and let him marry yon, governess or no governess;” and betook her in bis arms and sainted her heartily. She then approached her husband with a timidity new to her, saying: “And Cecil—can he, toj, forgive my deception?” He bent forward, and raised her jew eled hand to his lips, saying i “ Forgive! My darling, what have I to forgive ? Rather, what have I done to deserve such love, such goodness ? With the devotion of my life will I re- pay your love, my darling, my wife 1” The ball was a splendid affair, and the lovely bride far outshone all the beautiful girls prese-t. Great was the tibia Sunless band. Bnt though gossip was busy for II have to JSIvhile, the affair remained a mystery and was soon forgotten. To a very few indeed was it ever known that the lovely wife of Cecil Courtney was ever his sister’s governess. LOW LIFE IN NI ernoon of the next day, while Grace Gardner was giving a mu sic lesson to her affectionate and pretty little pupil (Cecil Courtney’s only sis ter), J that the school-room door was thrown open in an ominous manner, and Mre. Courtney—tall and stately, with robes fashionable and flowing— walked into the room. One glance at her haughty and angry countenance told Grace her cr; and. She sent little Mabel qway to her nnrse, and then, turning to the governess, said : “ And now, Miss Gardner, I have to request that you will find it convenient to leave this house this afternoon.” “ Scarcely this afternoon,” replied Grace, quickly. “It is now too late to reach my friends to-day. To-morrow morning I »-hall have no objection to comply with your request.” “ Intolerable—yonr insolence is in tolerable I” exclaimed the lady, walking angrily no and down the room. “ I tell yon yon shall go at once 1 You do not sleep another night under this roof I" “ May I be allowed to inquire the cause of so sndden and urgent a dis missal ?” asked Grace, in the came quiet tone. “Ask !” saiAJMWwHftSmuYt telT^ou liwil enough ! Here, you have not been iu the house two months, and you have laid your snares so cleverly that you have succeeded in entrapping my only son; and so skillfully and slyly have you played your part that 1 had not a suspi cion of what was going on until’that be witched youth, fascinated with your doll s face, has dared to ask our con sent to his marriage with you—you, who inay be the daughter of a costermonger for all we know! This comes of taking girls on a lady’s recommendation, in stead of applying to those who had pre viously engaged them! I shall take care to let Lady Powis know what kind of a protege she has recommended !” Grace’s face flushed as she replied, with dignity: “ Truly, madame, you might have stated your cause of complaint in gen tler terms. Since yon confess yourself ignorant of my parentage, di-es it not occur to vgu that I am as likely to prove the daughter of a duke as of a costermonger, in which case, I presume, you would consider yonr son honored by an alliance with mo?” “ Iho daughter of a duke, indeed !

Grace then wrote a short note, as fol lows: ’ “Dear Cectl: Yonr suspicions wore correct I am turned from your mothers house because I have dared to love and be loved by you.

When Grace ap peared attired for the evening Cecil could npt but marvel both at her won- dious beauty and the graceful splen dor of her apparel. She wore a dress of white satin, trimmed with real Honi- ton lace and bncches of clematis and lilies-of-the-valley;'bnt more than that, there glittered on her neck and arms diamonds and pearls of great value. “See,” she said, approaching him, “ these are Lady Powis’ bridal gifts— are they' not lovely ?'* “Lovely indeed,” said Cecil, intoxi cated with her beanty; “but not half so beautiful as my darling wife, who is, I feel sure, to be the belle of the ball to night,” and he pressed her fair form warmly to his manly breast. Proudly he gave her his arm and descended to the drawing-room. Who can picture his bewilderment when, in the two friends who were to dine with them, he saw h’is own father and mother I Mrs. Courtney’s heart had beaten with proud triumph when she received the invitation to the ball,. entitled her to such an honor. She was aghast with amazemeht when she saw her son entering the rootn bearing on his arm the “ hardy adventuress.” But her humiliation was trmy pitiful wfien Lady Powis, taking the hand of the lovely and smiling bride, led her to them, saying: “Mrs. and Colonel Conrtrey, allow me to present to yon cne who, until lately, was my dearly loved niece, Lady Gertrude Gordon, blit who is now the wife of your son, and consequently your daughter-in-law.” “Good heavens I” exclaimed Cecil, “ what mystery is this ?” Grace, or rather Lady Gertrude, broke into a merry peal of laughter. “Nov,”'said she, gleefully, ‘•Ihis denouement is simply charming; have I not played my part well ? and lias not dear auntie kept my secret and carried out my plans excellently ? This is, I am sure, a most romantic marriage, and .. believe will be as Lappy as romantic, ’ said she, turning fondly to her hus band. “Bnt, my darling,” said he,with pain- fnl embarassment, “I cannot under stand this at all. Have pity and explain.” “ I think I had better do that,” said Lady Powis, gracefully. “My niece like myself, is of a romantic disposition! She was the belle of the season, and her beanty and wealth brought her many admirers; but she refused them all. She told mo often that she wished to be loved for herself alone, and not for her wealth and title. You,” said she, turn ing to Colonel and Mrs. Oonrtney, “had but just returned with your son here from a long residence abroad when we saw you at a concert. Ger trude saw you then for the first sine,” continued she, addressing Cecil, “and on returning home she remarked, ‘Auntie, if I ever marry it must be such a man as that.’ The next d»y came Mrs. Courtney’s letter, asking me, as an old acquaintance, if I could recom. mend her a governess. Suddenly Ger trude declared her intention of playing the part and accepting the engagement! 'Now, auntie,’ said she, ’I will see if there is a man in the world who can love Gertrude Gordon for herself alone.’ It was stipulated that she should never 3e invited into the drawing-room, to prevent her recognition by any who had seen her in her own character. How far her plan has succeeded is seen by the fact that she is now Mrs. Cecil Courtney.” Queer Advertisements, Some one has forcibly said that. the culture of a nation can be determined from its advertisements.

He sued the former owner but could not collect any damages as the man pointed to the ad vertisement, “Heavey in harness.” “ But I thought that was heavy,” said the distressed purchaser. “It don’t spell heavy, does it? any more than g-a-t-e spells gait.
