Sometimes he was almost tempted to mfer in hjs alliance toward the elder, and then betook himself with very uunecessary sternness to task. To-night, however,, he passed the whole ot the last few weeks in revirw before his memory, and decide that inaction was the very worst policy in the world. "This suspense must he put to an cudejaculated our hero half aloud, and then he smiled mischievously to himself, as an idea came into his head. "I'll do it," he thought, biting his lip. Of course it's merely for the fun of tht^thiog. I have not the shadow of a doubt that she is all she secuis, but till?" , He was silent for a few minutes, and then rose to prepare for slumber. ' They arc polite enough to me as the favored child of luxury.

So our hero, laying his head on his pillow, dreamed of private inasqurudc parties all night long. Rachel Duer and her cousin Ruth NWcre shop-girls in Savery & St. Clair's gr/aatfuney store. ? 0, dear !' sighed Rachel, one morning as'*h? took off her bonnet iu the little di ^""tg-room at the back of the tore and *h?ok down her golden shower of otifls, '"bow (jred I am of this hur rid drtagcry. Jfov I wish Harry Meredith would propose if he is going to." Ruth laughed as she smoothed down her satin-brown hair, and tied the bow of crimson at her throat. "And what do you think of me.Rachel ? I, who have no such brilliant hopes of matrimony to light up the monotony of my daily toil!' Rtcbel drugged her shoulders. . "I don't soc now you bear it so patiently. I shotfld have died with vexation and ennui if f did not hope for joaaething better." "Hush !"k*aid Ruth, 'there is Mrs. Wickes, the for>woman calling us. "How I hate the old vixen !" llachel ejaculated, slowly following Ruth into the store. "Really, Miss Rachol Duer, you must be a little more punctual." said Mrs. WJckes, pursiag up her mouth primly.

' It's all very well for you, Ruth ; you've got to spend ail your days, but," she saiil^ curling her pretty lips ; "but I shall s -on be lilted out of this groveling atmosphere. ' 'It is by no means a certainty." "Yes," laughingly answered Rachel, blushing like a Uainask toso. And Kuth would sigh softly, and j think how brightly the future w^is un* i rolling its vast u.ap before her pretty j oousia. XL tclie 1 Duer waited rather languidly j upon one or two customers that morning Evident!y her heart was not in the work, and Mrs. V.'icks, l'rotn her lurking | place behind the cash box, cast several envoaonied fauces at fcer, premouitory of a coming sto; 111.

Be just and fear not. ? .. 4 A ETTI * ? 11TEW BEBIES, I ToLj?Ni. 1. FOR THE YOUNG. m . i.i A Word to the Boys. I wish to say a few words to oar rural hoys. Boys, i do not propone, in ihcse tew words to preach a sermon, bat simply to have i talk with you, and endeavor to correct sonic orroneoaa ideas I know to bwentertained in many young men and boys in our mral districts. You sometimes thiuk your rolicking farm life dull, monotonous nod extremely laborious, and long for a situation as clerk in some kiud of un establishment iu the city. If I should tell you that your life oti the farm is of the two, much the easier, you would undoubtedly think it very strange. But I 4I0 say so, tor such is the case. Could you but look in upon some of the clerks employed in many of the dry-goods establishments inr our cities, and see the labor performed by them in their daily rouuds, no words would be needed to conviuce you of this fact. Your labor 1 is varied^ 'tis walking, riding, driving and other changes, all of which are al- ! most indispensible to proper muscular development and gbod health, and very unlike the closely confined, monotonous ' occupation of daily' standing behind a counter or sitting at a desk from the < rising of tho sun till near midnight, ere 1 pour labor is completed and rest comes. 1 But I bear some young man say, "I will go to the city and make my fortune j ?rise to honor and eloquence, instead 1 of staying hero on the farm and work- 1 ing hard .to make a little." Young ! nan I banish that idea. When you do , w&y with such thoughts you will have aid more certainly the stepping stone .hat leads to ambition's goal. Do not liitik because you jrero bora on a farm hat you surely will not rise to honor ind independence. ReiAetqber what Pope says; 'Honor and fame from no * condition rise, Let well your part,there all the honor lies." Ah I that's it, '-Act well your part." ^ct it well ou the old farm, and in imcs like these, when fortune smiles ne moment and frowns the next, upon be farm is the place to stay, where yon re comparatively safe front the ever hanging whifl-wiqd aqd the contamina ing influence of the metropolis.?Rural Veio Yorker. . * ' . q Hide Me From Papa.
