"Never,. while I live," said Mi: Rashlelgh, "never, while I live, wi I see your face again!" She meait when she said it; and as she spoke,-si * threw her bethrothal ring towards h( lover, who had offended her. as lh felt, beyond hope of pardon. It misse himn, and rolled down upon the floot and over the sill of an open chitm closet, one of those old-fashlone closets that use'.1 to stand on either sid of the mantelpiece. She did not notic where it rolled; he did though, an after she had left the room he turne to pick it tip. The ring she had wor would always be precious to him. Miss 'lashleigh went straight to ie own room, as"miserable a girl an eve lived; and a iioientlater Grandmothl Rasleigh bustled into the diawinp room, pushed the open closet door tc 'picked up the poetry .straight on t: t;lle,- p}iled down the shades, arrange the chairs _mathematically against ti wall, and bustled out again.

Letty had had a afghan; John a pair of sofa pillow Amelia a set of toilet boxes and a pl cushion. "Now," the old lady ht said a dozen times to Tripheny Kin who was helping her, "now, I rath think Cornelia will have .the best thl I've done; and there's a bit in it every handsome silk there's over bee in the family, and of her -father's at grandfather's weding-vest." "Yes'm; it's a real miemnorial quilt, said Tripheny. "it. taktes you, miin to plan such th;ings,'" The quilt was finished anid biotu that afternoon, and Tripheny's job but she carried about thme village Li 'news that she "was sure all was ovi between Miss Rashleigha and .i Spear. She heard Cornelia saym -something to her grandma, and theo o 2lady was furious." "He would never havo ulono that lie had cared for me, you knowv, granm ma," (ornella was saying at th moment.

They hurried away together, and entering gra.idma's parlor, found there assem. bled more of the meiubers of the Spear family, and a friend or two besides, Orville had indeed disappeared. li< had no.ver been home since his visit -tt Cornelia; and now. the alarmed rela. tives were anxious to get all the Infor mation they could regarding, the i.nter view between Orville and Cornelia. Il1 "I had reason to be angry, Mrs t Spear," said Cornella, proudly---"good e reason; and .1 took oft my. ring, ai r gave it back, and went out of the room e That is all I know, I don't know a when he went or where. 1-1 though , he wouldn't mind so much. 1 belioved he had stopped caring about me." d "Ie ..ought to now, at all events,' o said grandma. e "My boy is dead, I'm sure.

Oh, you wicked girl" r I could kill you, you hateful thingi' r 'cried the youngest Mis, Spear. Cornelia had kept up bravely until ', now; but when her two friends turned f upon her thus, she gave a little scream d and fell over on the sofa. She was in i e dead swoon, and the water they sprink d led on her face did not bring her to. 0 Grandma grew frightened. "I hope r it isn't an attack of heart disease," she n said. '"Poor child! she looks as if ,shi were dead;" "Oh, don't say that!" criede lh inothek. t They gathered around Cornelia, and ct did all they could for her, and soon she 'e recovered, and sat up; but all her pride was gone. "Oh, dear--oh, dearl" sh is sobbed. "I wish I had diedl I wish : nt had never como to! Oh, Orville, Or r ville! what has become of you?" "Oh, oh!" moaned the mother. d "'Oh, oh!'' moaned the sisters.

',There are -very few men in the world possessed of an amount of wealth sufllolent 'to indivdually con struct and owln an extensive line of railway or,telegraph, a (rst-class steam ship, or,a great. factory.. .IG is also to be remembered that for carrying on pro duction by the post .modern, and.eirec tive methods large capital is, needed, not only for machinery, but Also for the purchasing and carrymig of extensive stocks of crude Material. and finished pkodtlets.

The mere capital requisite for providing and carrying the 'raw material necessary for. the successful prosecution of^this bu'iness, apart frona all other conditioils, platcs it, therefore, pf le&essity; beyond the ieach of an br4inar' capitalist or prodicer. It has lheeti- befoie stated that In the manu facture of jewelry 'y ' machinery, one boy can make up nine thousand sleeve buttons per day; four glrls,-also, work by mnodei-n methods, can p)ut together .Atn the same time eight thousand collar b)uttons. But to run an establishmenL with snch tfacilities the manufacturer must keep, constantly in stock thirty thousand dollars' worth of cut orna mental stone.s and a stock of cuff but tonls that represents unine thousandl dif fer'ent, designs and patterns. Hlence from such conditIo'ns have growvn up great corpiorations of sitock compaxnies, wvhich area only forms of associated capi izal organized for effective use and pro,. te2tion. They are iegarded to sonme extent as evils; but they are necessary, as there is apparently no other way in which the wvork of pi'oduction and dis. tribution, in accordance with the re quirements of the age, can bo prosecut ed.
