' A TRf'E STORY. it _ , Kit A XC IS S. SMITH. J? CIIAl'TKK I. Antoinc Latourette was :i merchant in [' the gay citv of l'aris lie was a t.inn ' | of more than ordinary ability, and ha ! rais.il himself from a gainin of Paris to an opulent and respected position in the ( mercantile world. Anionic had a bosom fiiend named i Francois Dainas, also a mere) ant and also rich. Latourette had a beautiful daughter, whom lie called Pauline, and Dmias had a son, a noble hearted and splciid d looking young man,whom he had named Antoinc, after his lite long liiend. The two young I ample had loved each other almost from infancy, and when they were still young it was agreed between their parents that tiny should marry win u thc^md reached a |?:ojn-r a"?\ . That lime was fast approaching. The \OUtli Antoinc hid reached l is t\v<n,yllu.-d year, and Pauline was only ilnvr years fws junior, lie* wedding da\ had liecu fixed, ajd all coneem'd were junk ing forward to the nup'ials as a season of unalloyed h.'*pj?iiie~s. Put "tne course of true l ?vo m-ver did run smooth, and the loves of Auiinnu and J'aulilic were no oxcep'ion to the rule. ) The merchant l.iiouretfu had one j weakness, which overshadowed all his viitues. sprung from the lower order of Parisians himself, he no sooner began to accumulate wealth than the desire seized him to become the intimate of those high above him in the social scale. IPs a.. f|luf i ,ii_ | low origin was uiv uia- mvi.. kled in liis side, and if l.e could Lave wiped out the recollection of his early days by tl'c sacrifice of his entire for-1 tune, lie .""ouM gladly have made that: faerifice. and considered himself the' gainer by the exchange. And so it! happened that just on the etc of the marriage of our hero and hi nine, the I Marquis Do Laportc, a member of the' old noblesse, was introduced to the proud old merchant, lie was a man sonic sixty years of age, well preserved and of immense wealth, lie was unmarried, and having seen the fair I'au line, /lite decreed that lie should I ill desperately in love with her, and fate also decreed that her father .should favor' flic suit ol In r ancient but high born lover. In vain did the po r girl plead with cats in her eyes that she should not l,c sacrificed; in vain did the young love?\ her affianced husband, hog and rave b/ turns, in vain did lus lifelong friend, Francois Dunns, appeal to bis! pen so of lionor and point out to lum tie' misery which would too suiely follow a union of the Marquis and I'au Jine. He was deaf alike to threats, ana tliemas and iuiplorations. The idea of his daughter forming s? brilliant an al liance bad fairly turned bis bead and warped bis better judgment, and he: swore his daughter should marry her ancient suitor, even though she died the moment thereafter. The merchant s will was all powerful, ' and the young couple Wire obliged to submit. Their parting was a painful one. The young man was frantic with grief, OI,ll SKKIKS, | Vol. WXV I No. 1. | uid urged his nftiutced, by every argument which lie could coiiniiund, to fly with him. The temptation was a fearful :ne, but her sense of duty and the dread jf parental alitor outweighed all other . onsiderations, and she determined to icccpt her fate with what plilosophy she ould. And so tlicy separated, the girl bog :ing her lover not to subject her to cmptation hy remaining near her, and n a few weeks thereafter she was united i , her nicient lover. Little satisfaction, however, did the j Id marquis receive IVoui the unholy , mion; for scarcely liad the marriage crcmony ended when the bride fell ifeless to tl?e floor, and al! efforts to rc.w,.ii.it,, t.vi.vi.il mitinov unsivailimr " ?

IIis presence was not proliibred, now that the idol cf his soul lay :ohl in death, and as he stood by the idc of tlie grand coffin, looking down upon the tigidfeatures of the loved and jst, his tears fell like rain, and the [>osom of the strong man swelled with hi agony which only those nil > have >eon similarly bereaved can fully aprre iate. ' Farewell, thou wildly worshipped ?ne," lie mentally ejaculated, "thou hast. iiUr-d the realms of eternal bliss, and eft iiic to tcwail thy loss ; but I will i not remain long away from thee! My , >oiil shall greet thine in Paradise ere In u hast been a day buried. Then i why should 1 weep?" he continued, as j te hastily brushed the sorrowing drops from I.is eyes, and smiled hopefully; is it not better that I should own thee ii Heaven, than that another should :lai.n thee here ?

The cares of the day arc ended; the mother's resting time has come; the father Has dropped all sorts of business worries and perplexities, and the whole family throw themselves with zest into the innocent pleasures of the home circle. Solomon tells us there is a time for all things; a time to weep and a tiuie to laugh, to play, and to dance. Surely the time to laugh, to play, and to dance comes most appropriately in the long pleasant evening hours, when The cares that infest the day Fold up their tents like the Arabs, And silently steal aw.ty. It is well fir the women of the household to remember that the pleasant evenings at, home are strong antidotes to ! the practice of looking for enjoyment abroad, and seeking for pleasure in and forbidden places; for relaxation and re ; creation will be indulged in somehow by most men, and happy arc they win find in (lie home circle '.he diver.-ion they i.eed. A lively gauie, an interest ing book read aloud, or. in musical families, a new song to be practiced, will j furnish pasf.imc that will make an even- j ing pass pleasantly. A little forethought during the day. a little pulling of wires that need not appear, will make the whole thing easy, and different ways and means may be provided lbr making tlie evening hours | pass pleasantly, and a lime to be looked i forward to with pleasant anticipations. We visited once a large family, wh.ro it was the duty of each sister in turn to provide the evening's occupation, and there was a pleasant rivalry between them as to whose evening should he the] most enjoyable. The brothers entered ! fully into the spiiit of the simple home ] entertainments, and were as loth to be obliged to spend an evening away I as their si?ters and parents were Sony t i have t hem absent, livery one spoke J of this family as an unaoinnmiily united I one, for each and every member showed \ such a strong attaclim nt lor the home j to which each one contributed to make pleasure.
