I can not help being on some points. It is only 
for a little while. When I am well enough to 
take that dress home, and receive the money for 
it, I shall he enabled to purchase whatever I 
may require.” 
Laura Avery knelt down at her friend’s bed¬ 
side, with Boft, pleading eyes. 
“ Dear Ellen, you surely will not refuse to ac¬ 
cept a temporary loan from me.” 
Ellen shook her bead with a grave smile. 
”I can wait, Laura.” 
Laura looked from the dress to Ellen with a 
face of pained perplexity. Suddenly a bright 
inspiration seemed to strike her. 
” Let me take the dress home, Ellen !” she ex¬ 
claimed. “The walk will be- just what I need,

There is a picture in my brain 
That only fades to come again: 
The sunlight, through a veil of rain 
To leeward, gliding 
A narrow stretch of brown sea sand; 
A light house half a league from land 
And (wo young lovers hand in hand 
A-castle building. 
Upon the budded apple-trees 
The robins sing by twos and threes, 
And even at the faintest breeze 
Down drops a blossom; 
And ever would that lover be 
The wind that robs the bourgeoned tree, 
And lifts the soft trees daintily 
On beauty’s bosom. 
Ah, grayheard, what a happy thing 
It was, when life was in its spring, 
To peep through love's betrothal ring 
At Fields Etysian,— 
To move and breathe in magic air, 
To think that all that seems, is fair!— 
Ah, ripe young mouth and golden hair, 
Thou pretty vision I 
Well, well—I think not on these two, 
Bat the old wound breaks out anew, 
And the old dream, as if ’t were true, 
In my heart nestles; 
Then tears come welling to my eyes 
For yonder, all in saintly guise.

order the wine for you, 
strong unless you cosset yourself tip a little. 
Yon will let me, Nell ?” 
Ellen hesitated a moment. 
“Bat, Laura-” 
“No huts in the matter, if you please, Nell,” 
laughed Laura, gleefully beginning to fold the 
rich dress into the little basket that stood upon 
the table beside it, “ Where is it to go ?” 
“To Mrs. Ricbley's in Rives Street. Why, 
Laura, what is the mutter?” 
“Nothing, only I am folding this dress 
wrong,” returned Laura, in a low voice. It was 
well that Ellen did not see the scarlet blush that 
rose to her friend’s lovely cheek, as she stood 
' withber back to the bed smoothing the lustrous 
breadths of purple silk, Mrs. Ricbley’s! Laura 
was almost sorry that she had volunteered to go, 
. but it was too late to retract her offer now. 
“ What a selfish little creature I am,” she 
mused. “Poor Nelly needs the money so much, 
and can not tro for it herself, and it isn’t at all 
likely that I shall see Florian. I will go—there 
is an end of it.” 
“Thank you, dear Laura; it is 60 kind of 
you,” said Ellen, fervently, as Miss Avery came 
to the bedside with the basket on her arm, and 
a blue veil drawn closely over the brown velvet 
bonnet. “She owes me three dollars foe this 
dress, and there are seven dollars on the old ac¬ 
count that she has never yet paid me.” 
“ Ten dollars! I’ll collect it, never fear,” said 
Laura gaiiy, as she disappeared, while to poor 
Ellen it seemed as if the sunshine all died out 
with the bright presence of her beautiful friend. 
It was nearly dusk when Miss Avery, sum¬ 
moning up all her resolution, ascended the 
brown stone steps of the Richley mansion and 
rang the hell. 
“Is Mrs. Richley at home ?” 
“What’s your business with Mrs. Riebley?” 
asked the servant, suspiciously scrutinizing the 
little basket that she carried. Laura bit her lip. 
This manner from servants was entirely a new 
experience to her, yet how often must poor 
Ellen have endured it. 
“ I have called to bring home a dress that was 
finished for i\er,” 6he said in a tone of quiet, | 
dignity. / 
“Oh—ah—yea, well, I s’pose you’d best walk 
in.” 
The servant conducted her up stairs to a sort 
of sitting-room, or boudoir, where Airs. Rich- 
ley, a portly dame of about fifty, gorgeously 
dressed in crimson silk, was slttiug in her easy 
chair in front of a glowing coal fire. Laura was 
iuwardly grateful that the gas had not been 
lighted, particularly when she observed that Air. 
Pierian Richley was lounging on a velvet sofa 
; in one of the window recesses- Airs. Richley 
looked up as the servant ushered in the new 
comer. 
“ Well, young woman, what do you want?” 
Laura’s cheek tinged at the tone of coarse in¬ 
solence in which she was addressed, hut she 1 
commanded herself to reply meekly: 
“I have brought home your dress, Airs. Rich- 
ley.” 1 
“Where is Miss Waynall?” 
“She is ill.” ( 
“Very well, lay down the dress; it is all 
right.” £ 
But Laura stood her ground valiantly. 
“ Miss Waynall would like the money to-night, * 
madam—seven dollars on the old account and 1 
three for this dress.” 
“ It is not convenient to-night.” 
“ But, Mrs. Richley, Miss Waynall is ill and 1 
needs the money,” persisted Laura. 
“There, Florian,” said Airs. Richley, petu- *

“ Four o’clock, and no Ellen yet! What can 
detain her 60 — she that is usually more punc¬ 
tual than the clock itself? 
It was scarcely a room in which Laura Avery 
was sitting — rather a magnificent hay-window 
with draperies of embroidered lace. 
“PoorEllen,” she murmured, “how differ¬ 
ently our lots have been ordered iu this world. 
Her parent s died—their wealth irretrievably lost 
and she too proud to accept a cent that she has 
not laboriously earned. Ob, dear!” and Laura 
sighed again, just as the clock’s liquid voice 
chimed the half hour. 
“ She doesn’t come,” soliloquized the puzzled 
little damsel. “There’s something the matter. 
Perhaps she is sick—oh, yes, she must be sick! 
I’ll send James to inquire—no, I’ll go myself.” 
Before the sentence was out of her lips she 
was up iu her own room adjusting a soft gray 
shawl over her black silk drees, and tying the 
strings of a quiet little brown velvet bonnet, 
whose one crimson rose among Its trimmings of 
emerald moss was not unlike the bloom of her 
own cheek. 
“ I don’t think it is going to snow,” she pon¬ 
dered, looking out at the gray, threatening sky, I 
as she drew on her perfectly-lilting kid gloves. 
“At any rate, I shall walk very fast. 
As 6 he came through the softly-carpeted vesti¬ 
bule a servant approached her. 
“ A note, Miss Laura. It came five minutes 
ago.” 
Ah! the rose was several shades in the back¬ 
ground now, as Laura Avery broke open the 
scented seal, and glanced over the delicate 
cream-colored 6 heet, with a bright, half-sup¬ 
pressed Emile dimpling the comers of her 
mouth. Yet the note was a very simple one, 
after all: 
“Mt Dear Miss Avery.— Alay I promise 
myself the pleasure of accompanying you to 
hear the new opera to-night? Unless I receive a 
message to forbid me, I will call for yon at half¬ 
past seven. Your most devoted, 
“Florian Riciiley.” 
Laura instinctively slipped the note into her 
bosom, as if fearful lest the very pictures on the 
wall should catch a sight of the elegant chirog- 
raphy, and pursued her way down t he gloomy 
street, with eyes that saw the murky atmosphere 
through a radiant glow of coulcur de rose. 
Meantime, the gray October light was fading 
away from a dreary room on the third floor of a 
house situated on one oi those side streets where 
decent respectabil * ’ strives, hand to hand, with 
the grim assailant want. 
Singularly out of keeping with the shabby and : 
poverty-stricken aspect of the little apartment 
was a newly-flitished dress of lustrous purple 
silk, bright as the dyes of Tyre, that lay folded < 
on tbe table beside the window iu such a man- I 
ncr that you could see the costly trimming —a 
wide border of purple velvet, edged on either ] 
side with a flutiug of white point lace. For poor e 
Ellen Waynall was nothing more important than { 
a hard-working and poorly-paid dress maker. 
8 hu lay on the little white bed iu the corner, j 
with her flushed cheek pressed dose against the 1 
pillow, and her slender figure partially covered 
by a coarse plaided scarlet shawl, while the oc- t 
casional involuntary contraction of her fore- 1 
head bore witness to the pain she was meekly 
suffering. 1 
As one or two quiet tears escaped from her 
closed eyelids, and crept softly down her cheek, 
a light step sounded on the landing outside, and c 
a knock came gently to the panels of the door. 
“Come in,” said Ellen, hurriedly dashing c 
away the tears. “ Laura, is it possible that this b 
is you, dear?” 1 
" Yes, it is myself, and none other, Nell! I h 
could not imagine why you did not come and fit e 
that dress, as you had appointed; but 1 know 
the reason now. Nelly, you arc sick. Why did h 
yon not 6 end for me V” u 
Ellen tried to smile faintly. v 
“1 am not very sick, Laura; at least, I have n 
not suffered much pain until to-night, and the I 
doctor says that if I only had a little wine—no, 
Laura, do not draw your purse,” she added, with p 
a slightly perceptible sparkle in her eyes, and a a: 
proud quiver to her lips. “ I am not yet quite 
so low as to accept charity. Don’t look so hurt w
