“ Yes—I shall be a farmer wherever I go.” 
“Then, why go away? Is not this farm as 
good as another?” 
“ Yes, bnt it will not take ns both to tend the 
old farm.” 
“ Certainly not. Bnt I tell yon I am going to 
New 1'ork; you know I had an offer from Un¬ 
cle MERLIN.” 
“But — ” 
“What?” 
“ Arthur, are yon engaged to Bertie HAY¬ 
DEN? ” 
Arthur tamed a scrutinizing look upon his 
brother, but it was nearly dark; he could not 
see Lis fate. “ What makes yon think so ? ” 
“ I saw yon together in the grove below the 
house. I did not hear a word, but your manner 
told the secret plainly enough.” 
<< yes, we have been engaged nearly two 
months.” 
“ And you are going away ? ” 
“ Yes,—why not?” 
“ Why not marry and live here ? ” 
“All my life? Not I. Bertie is fitted for 
someihlng better than farm-house drudgery, and 
I, you know, should never be content. I want 
to go next week; will yon take charge of the 
farm?” Fred was silent, and he continued. 
“It will be lonely, I suppose, but why not get 
married? You could take your choice among 
the rustic beauties of Moreton, 1 think. What 
do you say?” 
“I will stay,” Fred answered briefly, as he 
walked to the door. “ I wonder If he thinks me 
a mere worklDg machine, without human feel¬ 
ings,” he was asking himself. 
And when Bertie asked afterward what Fred 
had said, Arthur replied—“He i6 to stay; 
that ia all I know. No one can tell whether he 
Is pleased or not, and I doubt if he has any feel¬ 
ings like other people.” 
So little the brothers understood each other. 
[To he concluded next week. 
be content with this mode of life, for 6he, as 
you know, could not bear that I Bhould leave 
her; and now that 6be is gone, I do not wish to 
leave you, my pet, yet I know it ia best. Re¬ 
member I go to win a position that you may be 
proud of when yoi? become my wife.” 
I think he hardly meant to have concluded In 
this way when he began. I do not believe he 
thought a great deal of her pleasure when his 
resolve was formed. 
“ But, Arthur, I.do not care for any posi¬ 
tion. I shall be as proud to be your wife as if 
you were a lord. And I cannot have you go 
away ; how shall 1 live without you ? ” 
“ I shall write to you very often, bo often you 
will hardly miss me, and you must write often 
to me. 1 am going to my uncle’s Id New York: 
be offers me a home in his famiiy and a situation 
as clerk in his store, but I shall look to you for 
encouragement, for I have no acquaintances 
there.” 
“ You will soon form them, Arthur ; you 
will meet with ladies elegant and accomplished, 
and will soon grow ashamed of your simple', 
countryfied Bertie.” 
There was a premonition of tears in the maid¬ 
en’s voice, and her lover drew her closer to his 
side and bent down until his black locks were 
Intermingled with her brown ones. There arc 
few handsomer men than was Arthur Wilton. 
He was tall and finely formed, with jet black 
balr and beard, and eyes dark, and, when he 
chose, piercing as an eagle’s, but capable of ex¬ 
pressing great tenderness, His Ups were rather 
thin, and the mouth somewhat stern, but its 
expression softened now. 
“ Ashamed of you, Bbrtie ! Do yon doubt 
my love for you, or why do you apprehend any¬ 
thing like this ? If I meet ladies who are beau¬ 
tiful, I shall always remember that my Bertie 
is fairer than the fairest, brighter than the bright¬ 
est ; and if energy and perseverance are success¬ 
ful, you shall one day rival the wealthiest.” 
1 wonder why ambitious men always say this: 
“ ’Tis for you 1 am so anxious to win.” Surely 
the wife of a wealthy or great man is not more 
happy than the wife of the most humble farmer 
or mechanic, If she be only sure of her hus¬ 
band’s love. 
All this Bertie Hat-den felt. She knew she 
would be as much out of place in fashionable 
society as a robin In an eagle’s eyrie; but what 
more could she say ? She knew- Arthur Wil¬ 
ton too well to hope that any words of her’s 
could change his purpose, if once fixed. So she 
ceased to protest, and it was settled that he 
should start for New York within the next 
week. 
“ I will leave the farm to brother Fred ; he 
was born a farmer and has no wish for any other 
life,” he said, Lalf contemptuously. 
After some further conversation, interesting 
only to themselves, they slowly walked toward 
Bertie’s home. Arthur declined to go into 
the house; he was eager to perfect his arrange¬ 
ments, and so went directly home.

A NEW TAX BILL 
Chapter First. 
Arthur Wilton eat alone in the parlor of 
the old-fashioned farm-house that had been his 
home from his childhood. The hazy September 
sunlight stole through the willow branches, and 
fell in mottled patches upon the bright yam car¬ 
pet, and the room would have looked pleasant 
and cheery to a stranger, but lor him it wanted 
the sunlight of a Mother’s presence, the soft 
music of her voice—now, alas, Lushe-d lorever. 
Not until they have buried our dead from our 
sight and left us alone, do we realize fully our 
irreparable loss. 
Arthur was the youngest but one of a large 
famiiy, of whom those cider than himself had 
all married, settled down, and become “ well- 
to-do” fanners or farmers’ wives; but he was 
proud and ambitious, and to him there had come 
dreams of another than the peaceful farm-life. 
His father had died years ago, leaving the home¬ 
stead to be the joint inheritance of Arthur and 
his younger brother, Fred, after the decease of 
their mother. While she lived Arthur had held 
in check his ambitious yearnings, for he had al¬ 
ways been her favorite f on, and he In return had 
loved her as he would, perhaps, never again love 
any human being,— bnt yesterday he had fol¬ 
lowed the beloved form to its last rest, and 
though his heart might ache ever so keenly, he 
felt that he must now begin to think of the 
future, which he had decided to win. 
But he was too restless to sit still long, so he 
presently arose, and, after takiDg two or three 
turns around the room, rut on Lis Lat to go 
out. Passing through the hall he met “Aunt 
Margaret," a widowed sister of his mother 
who had long lived with them. 
“Where is Fred?” he asked; “I have not 
seen him this afternoon.” 
“ 1 do not know, bnt I saw him crossing the 
fields after dinner, and I think he went in the 
woods. Poor hoy, he misses his mother sadly.” 
“ Well, if he comes in, tell him 1 wish to se e 
him. I am going out, but will return early in 
the evening.” 
He went out, walking briskly at first under 
the influence of his newly formed determination, 
and then more slowly as he thought of leaving 
familiar scenes and friends; but hit, walk was 
not a long one, only to the house of his nearest 
neighbor, Squire Hayden. 
There wus a young girl watching him at the 
vine-wreathed window — a fairy creature, with 
bright, golden-brown enrls. There was a tint, 
too, of the same golden-brown in the clear com¬ 
plexion, and even in the long lashes that shaded 
the gentle hazel eyes. His “ golden robin,” 
Arthur had been wont to call her in moments 
of tenderness, for she was his affianced bride. 
There was a touch of pitying sadness about the 
sweet, red mouth now, ns she met her lover at 
the door and took his hand caressingly between 
her own. 
“ My poor Arthur,” said she —raising her 
eyes half timidly to his—“ I wish I could say 
something to comfort you.” 
“ Y T ou can, you do, my pet; life would have 
littlejremaining forme butl'or you,” he answer¬ 
ed, touching her forehead gently with his lips. 
“ You are all I have to love now. But get your 
bonnet and come with me, Bertie, I want to 
talk with you." 
She brought’her sun-bonnet, half wondering 
at the graveuess of his tones, and he led the way 
down througb’.tbe’old orchard, strewn with yel¬ 
low fruit, until they reached a little grove of 
maples, whose leaves were just beginning to 
wear the red and golden hues of autumn. He 
led her to a rustic bench, and, seating himself 
by her side, took her hand in his. 
“ Bertie,” he said, “ you know I have never 
been satisfied with the idea of spending my life 
as a farmer. While with my mother I tried to

ANSWER TO ENIGMAS, &c., IN No. 858, 
Chapter* Second. 
Aunt Margaret was right when she surmised 
that Fred Wilton had taken a stroll through 
the woods. Oppressed by the loneliness of his 
home he had wandered aimlessly about, until 
coming to a little streamlet that formed the 
boundary between his own land and that of 
Squire Hayden, he had thrown himself upon 
the mossy carpet under a large tree and sat 
watching the far-off clouds and dreaming of he 
scarce knew what himself. 
Rarely are two brothers more unlike than 
Arthur and Fred Wilton; unlike in thoughts, 
looks, and manner. Instead of the dark beauty 
of his brother, Fred’s complexion was the 
purest Saxon, with eyes of that clear, cloudless 
blue that Is almost always indicative of a pure, 
soulful nature. Something of a dreamer he 
was, possessing an almost poetic imagination; 
bnt this was modified, or held in check rather, 
by his thorough common sense—and so, while 
he was keenly alive to the bright and beautiful 
in all things, he did not forget that life has 
earnestly unromantic work for us all. As a boy 
he had been diffident and retiring, and now, at 
twenty-two, he was becoming a thoughtful, 
noble principled man, seeming almost older 
than Arthur, though his junior by three years. 
Fred had lain a long time by the brookside, 
and was thinking of going home, when the 
sound of voices attracted his attention, and, 
looklug across the tiny stream, he saw his 
brother and Bertie sitting among the trees be¬ 
yond. He was not near enough to understand 
a word of what they were saying, but he could 
see them very plainly, and was just going away 
when he saw Arthur draw the maiden close to 
his side and press his lips to her sunny hair. 
There would seem to have been nothing In this 
to have held him spell-bound to his seat, but so 
it was. At first he seemed hardly to believe his 
senses, but the expression of his face settled 
into one of the most intense pain, as he saw the 
brown eyes raised lovingly to meet his brother’s. 
He could not go away, however—could only 
stay and watch each look and gesture until they 
arose from the seat and walked away. And theD, 
when they were gone from his sight, Fred had 
thrown himself down, with his face earthward, 
and wept bitter, scorching tears. But deep as 
was his sorrow he did not long allow himself to 
thu6 give way to it, and when he arose and 
walked homeward there was a new energy in 
his step. 
An hour later the brothers held an earnest 
conversation. 
“ Fred, I am going away,” Arthur said. 
“You, Arthur;— why I came to say those 
very words myself.” 
“ You did. Why I thought you were satisfied 
with this sort of life—that you had no wish for 
any other.” 
“ What sort of life do you mean ?” 
“Why, a farmer’s life; I have often heard you 
speak of its advantages.”
