What more could earthly mortal ask or desire ! 
Aye, what? From the dying embers two sad 
eves seemed to look mournfully. With a half 
cry she covered her face with her hands. She 
loved Marion Carter. He had been forgotten 
the past week. Now its excitement had died 
away, and memory brought agonizing thoughts 
in it6 train. 4ITpr |

bind you. Forget him.” “I cannot,” moaned 
the girl. “He may never ask you to be bis wife. 
It is only a flirtation,” the tempter again whis¬ 
pered. “ Would you sell your soul for a price V ” 
conscience sternly spoke. “ I did not know this 
and am bound. It would be perjury to break 
the vows.” “Better that than commit this 
heinous sin.” “ If I give up now, what a future 
stretches out before me? Helplessness, poverty, 
misery.” “ You can ward it all oil' by one act.” 
“But JIarIQK ! ” “ Perhaps does not love you.” 
She did not know bow wily the tempter was; 
and conscience, awakened, did its work. “ Ob, 
Father in Heaven ! pity me;” sinking down and 
burying her face in the cushioned seat. There 
are times when contending thoughts are like 
armies rushing to battle. The war note is 
Path of the lightning! more suoume 
Then when its wrath the rocks have rent; 
Surpassing space, outspeedlng time, 
Linking each severed continent!

For there, as once by Israel s sage. 
The presence of the Lord Is found.

Nettie Worden’s dimpled check rested in 
the soft plalm, as she sat in the easy chair before 
the smouldering fire. Her eyes were bent upon 
the glowing embers, while a half smile paited 
the pretty lips. Evidently she was seeing beau¬ 
tiful things in those fiery coala —fading and 
glowing with every breath. Let us, with a wri¬

; “ Perfectly lovely! ” she exclaims, sliding it 
back and forth,—the lambent light from the car¬ 
buncle playing over the tiny member which it 
adorned. “ Then I will be back in my proper 
station," rousing from the abstraction again. 
“There are the Athertons, th^ King&lts, the 
Ingersolls, the Remseys, the Probascos, and 
hosts of others I used to know, ready to wel¬ 
come me. I shall go to be queen in that pol¬

much was not flattery, and he shall be proud of 
my filling it so well. Everything was so bright 
as I left school, and was to enter society, When

A shadow rested on the white brew, but wa6 
soon chased away by the glorious visions theftt 
ture held, yet to be realized. “ What splendid 
parties we will have,—elegant wardrobes too; 
diamonds, pearls, rubies,— of which this is au 
earnest,” again turning the ring on her finger. 
“ Then those girls will not sneer at my calico 
dress and linen collar; nor will I have George 
Lampson’s attentions forced upon me, because 
of my helplessness.” 
The color deepened at the remembrance of the 
petty slights and nameless insults she had been 
obliged, in consequence of her position, to bear.

FUN AMONG THE SPIRITUALISTS, 
to Bi eine>s Education. Prof. A. R. Eastman 
himseli a thorough instructor, and wholly fami¬ 
liar with the theory und practice of commercial 
instruction still maintains its high rank. 
In this College practice is combined with 
theory. The why and Ibe wherefore of all oper¬ 
ations is made appareut. The students transact 
business among themselves in order to become 
famihar with what they are taught. Penman¬ 
ship, book-keeping, banking, telegraphing, rail¬ 
roading, brokerage, etc., are here made plain 
and easy to the student Of ordinary ability. The 
terms of eight* ten or twelve weeks are sufficient 
to qualify the student for a position in business 
where he can secure a fair salary. Thousands 
who graduated at Eastman’s College are now 
feet abandon. Among the resolutions the fol¬ 
lowing is a model for political conventions, and 
it is quite as logical as many that come to light 
in such bodies: 
Whereas, the people have outgrown the super¬ 
stitions of the Christian religion; therefore re¬ 
solved, that tobacco, rum, Sunday schools, 
churches, hanging, Andrew Johnson, animal 
food, and swearing, are against science, reason 
and experience, and that they are not to be 
tolerated. 
Mr. Child of Boston, the philosopher of the 
sect, delivered his opinions on a variety of top¬ 
ics. He thought the devil was a good thing in 
his way, but that his ways were devilish, and 
he was about played out, and bound to go down. 
Did’nt believe in force, in matters of morality, 
but admitted its virtue in physics; thought the 
founder of Christianity and Fourier were very 
good sort of men, aud was opposed to ignoring 
them; believed in music and dancing, but was 
deadly opposed to pork. Miss Hutchings ex¬ 
pressed her disgust at so much talk and so little 
actiou. She said the convention had done noth¬ 
ing, aud wanted to know whut good resolutions 
did when ouo was suffering with a pain in the 
bowol6. She wanted something done and that 
quickly, even if she had to do it herself. Mr. 
Wheeler reinforced Miss Hutchings, and exhort¬ 
ed the members of the convention not to make 
fools of themselves and act as if they hud a pat¬ 
ent right to all the insanity in the world. The 
great sensation of the meeting was a poem from 
the spirit of Andrew Jackson, wri ten and spo¬ 
ken through Sanford B. Swan. It concludes with 
this comforting assurance:— 
11 Old Hickory the lover of the Friu 
Has not forgot the Old Liberty Tree 
Which 1 Jackson helped protect and Train 
In days that toyed our soles with Paine.”

be love, whenever she did have a passing thought 
during the week's excitement. Now she had 
time to think of the step taken. “Life’s toils 
and ills were over for her, were they ? ” She 
started as this question came from the inward 
mentor. “ Would she love him? Bid he love 
her? To be sure, else he would not have asked 
her to make him happy by becoming his wile. 
Would she be happy with him ?” 
This involuntary questioning somehow did not 
produce avety pleasant feeling, judging from 
the restless tapping on the arm of the chair 
A sense of something wanting crept into her 
soul. Her better nature was beginning to stir 
now. “Shall I stop because of a few qualms, 
natural, I suppose, to all girls ? There is Julia 
Atherton, who hesitated, and would have 
given np the marriage, had not her friends urged 
it on, and now she is a leader in society—hand¬ 
some, stylish." Nettie could not look into 
that “stylish” woman’s heart, or sound its 
wretchedness, as others had done. 
“ What would be lacking?” she murmured to 
herself, in half justification, as more puzzling 
doubts begauto assert themselves. “Ahusband
