I cannot and will not be taken down to the drawing-room to-night." - "Then I shall certainly be compelled to excuse you, I replied, striving hard to keep back the tears which some way would fill my eyes every time I attempt ed to reason with the noble fellow lying so helpless before me. ' , Months before the opening of this story .Fred Travers, in attempting to ascend a scaffolding raised upon a building of which he was the architect, was precipi tated to the pavement, striking upon his feet. The effect was partial paralysis to -the lower limbs. Everything that med ical skill could suggest was promptly at . tended to, but with very little success ; and the poor fellow had about decided that he must remain a helpless cripple the rest of his life. I shall never forget ' the day he resigned himself to his fate. Every member of the family was reques- ea to Keen out 01 nis room uniu ne sig nified his desire to be visited. About eight o'clock in the evening ."was summoned to Fred's apartment "Well' said I, taking his outstretched hand, "what is it r" "Oh, nothing, aunt; only I have had funeraJ j and the strangest part of all is, I was chief mourner.

" Since my nephew's accident, I had not held my usual Wednesday evening receptions ; but he was now so tar recov ered that I thought if best to begin again All toy attempts to have him make one ot the party were useless. He saw that I was grieved, and said, while a - bitter .smile played round his handsome mouth "'It would be a pretty sight now, wouldn i it, to see me, a great strapping fellow, six feet in my stockings, carried by a foot man down into the parlor ?" "Jiat, Fred, lien can take you down before any one comes. And all of my friends know tnat 1 never entertain com pany after eleven; so you will not become tired of sitting." , JfAIy ,dcar, precious little aunt, don't jou see tht I am not yet able to conquer - the mortification this helplessness entails upon me?

I don't k now why I was unable to keep my thoughts vi:h the company assemb led ; but thiy-Rculd stray off up -stairs, And several times I caught myself whisp the moment,' be had ceased to think - of hiuisolf and his infirmity. "I am Mrs. Andrews' nephew, at your service." "Let us be friends," she said, sweetly and I knew then, just as well as 1 know now, that Maggie (Jriffin's hand , lay in that of the invalid. - .' ' "I don't want to say I am sorry for you," she continued, "because I think there are few who like to be pitied. It don't seem to me : that I should care much about walking ; that is, if I had plenty of money, and somebody to care for me, and lots or books i But the tremulant in the girls voice betrayed her, and the next moment she was sobbing convulsively, ljuick steps ascended the stairs, and I moved away rom the threshold very much like a person caught in tne act ot stealing, W hat occurred subsequently I did not know until, some time after. I tried to conceal my abstraction and appear as usual, and was somewhat relieved when, a few minutes after, Miss Griffin took her seat at the piano, and with a brilliant sweep of her little fingers commenced the ' JUanchiDtr Sons, -liow sua did BY C.

The belle of the evening was a Miss Griffin, an intimate friend of cne of my boarding school cousins, but a stranger tome. She sang exquisitely, played with a skill truly professional, conversed intelligently and intelligibly ; fnd these loiter accomplishments were so rare Among young ladies- generally, that I Ifound myself quite, attracted to her. Some one volunteered to play a waltz, and as the young folks flew -round, to the fascinating strains of Strauss, I ran up stairs to see how Fred was eojoying himself. The gas was turned quite low, tint the grate sent out a cheerful light which illuminated the center of the room leaving the sides and" corners in deep naaow. What a sight met my eyes ! .Miss Griffin, supposing herself tho sole occupant or tne room, bad taken a seat upon the carpet in front of the fire : and there, her quaint little head bent on one aide, canary fashion, she sat muttering to Hera it. x stopped and listened ; couldn't help- it to save my life. "Why, isn't this jolly I This seems liomelike. I don't believe I like parties. Oh! I forgot; my boot hurt me. . That's . my excuse for running away from that - horrid wait. I wonder what dreadful creature first conceived the ' idea of waltzing ? If I had my way he should bop through all ages, and on one foot too I Heigho ! a nice fire ; how cheerful! Oar library used to be something like . this before papa died. Oh, dear ! There isn't a bit of happiness in the world un less one has somebody - to love one !" and then I knew the little creature was ' sobbing. . Now, that was too bad. What could I do? Nothing evidently. What would ' Fred do? , Keep very quiet, and allow her to depart in total ignorance of his presence. But that this little .episode would leave a deep and lasting impres sion, I, who knew Fred so thoroughly, perfectly understood. - - - How much.pleasaoter td spend" Titf evening here than with all those stupid folks down stairs 1" and the little one arose from her low seat, and, began a survey of the apartment. I knew it was ; all up then, In a seeond more, a smother ed shriek, a quick "I beg pardon sir ; I . thought I was alone !" was wafted to my - . ears. "Please do not feel distressed about it. -, I should have spoken when -you first entered, but I foolishly imagined vou " 3 a, - . 1 . ... - v.iuu us iuio io leave without observin" xue. If it does not make you feel annoy ed, I shall be very glad it has happened ss it has afforded me a glimpse of some thing natural and spontaneous.'' ' I knew it was" wrong to stop there listening, but I was actually rivited to the spot. Women always have some excuse for prying ; and "riveted" is as good as any for me. "Are you ill, sir?" she inquired, drawing a, little nearer. Not very," he replied; . "although jrobably an invalid for life." The end of this episode is not yet, thought I, and I was right. , wMy came ia Miss Griffin Margaret ' ' GriZa. Moat everybody calls me Mag - r'" 8a ent on, by way of introduo- Aad my name is Travers -Frederick TiaverB. Jlost everybody calls me i rod, topHsd ber companion'; but I knew by ti taae t tsr nephew's voice that, for laugh and how she did sing ! For a week after, the echo of those bewitching strains seemed to meet me in the far corners of the boose, and only ten minutes before she was sobbing as if ber heart would break. ' I never heard Maggie sing so well," observed a lady friend. "one really excels herself. - Uidn t l know tnat she was singing for Fred? Didn't I know that her voioe was laden with love, and heavily- laden too ? : The poor child had not yet begun to teel its weight. "Heaven help her, I. said softly to myself. " "How did you like the singing, Fred?" I asked the next morning, at breakfast. "It was delighfuh Of all the contral tos I ever heard, that was the richest. But who was the fair vocalist ? for course she is fair." "A stranger, red," 1 answered care lessly, glancing at his handsome face. "A Miss Griffia Maggie Griffin, I be lieve they call her." His face was like that of an angel for a moment; inexpressible satisfaction was depicted on every lineament; but it gradually faded, and the old patient, sombre look resumed ' its place. Not another word was spoken. For the next two months Fred received many tiny perfumed notes, and I noticed that Ben (the footman) made trips to the post-office more frequently than formerly. In the meantime I had met the young lady on several occasions, and we ' had become very good friends ; but I kept my own counsel. I noticed that for several days Fred had looked exceedingly sad and careworn. My first thought was not to remark upon it ; but when I saw the quiver of the poor .fellow's lip. I could keep silent no longer. ' ; Well, dear, what is it S" I asked again. : . "Oh, aunt, I have been frying to have another fuucral, but the body refuses to be buried.

Throw nothing away which is holy, and calculated to lessen your burden. 'Aunt, what do you mean f be ex claimed. Just then Ben stuck his head in the door. "Miss Griffin wishes to see Mrs. Andrews and Mr. Traver immediate ly. , "Good gracious ! exclaimed Fred. "Show her up, Ben," 1 ordered. "But, aunt, not here. You don't that is I never, vou Bee " ' But the eulden entrance of the young iaay put an end to all indecision. word or give an angry loo it ever a man deserved canonization, it was Abijah ; his wife kept up a cannon ade of . vituperative -adjuration nearly every minute he was in the house. Uis universal placidity would sometimes rouse the female Simpkins to such a pitch that dishes from the table and small arti cles of furniture would fly ; about the room promiscuously, and M r. S. would be compelled igaoimniou.-i!y to nee from the citadel. . . v.-;;-. - Simpkins had a prosperous business in an interior city, and he was ore- of the most generous of men : no wish ot bis wife, however extravagant, was ungrati fied, yet nothing edited her; articles that she' herself selected would cot suit tor a day ; and on poor Simpkin's head were poured the entire vials of her nonsuited wratb. : : Previous to marriage Mrs. S. had ap peared as entirely destitute of temper as ber lover ; and bimpkins thought in se curing such a wile ho s was securing a priceless treasure ; but marriage changed the colour derate to colour deaiabie. . Mrs. S". had a cousin of the male per suasion ; ne possessed a large, course person, surmounted by an amazing shock of 'red hair, of the fineness of swine's bristles. Although a cousin somewhat remote, be never was far distant from Simpkins' house. Being poor and too lazy to work, he at Mrs. S.'s solicitation, became an inmate of her home, and his support de volved cd the family. Abijah aecidently entered his parlor at p I an inopoftune moment one day, and dis- i . . , . . , covered iirs. O. ana ner cousin ia ciose embrace, drinking sweetness long drawn out. from dallving lips. He was assailed by Mrs. S., with the pleasing salutation : "Prving sneak, what do you want here?" "Nothing, my love yes, there is, I want a book which I camo for ; " replied Simpkins, "Well, take it, and relieve us or your hateful presence. Uousm Hiram has met . .. .. with a severe loss ; he baa ;ust receiyea news of the death ot a second cousin m India, whom he has never seen, and I am trying to assuage his grief." Here consiii Hiram commenced to sob. "Now if you have found your book, take your self off, and don t agaiu interrupt uie when I am consoling my poor, lorlorn orphan relative." Certainly not my love, excuse me and, exit Simpkins. ! V hen all were retired for tee night and the usual curtaiu lecture commenced, Mrs. S. dilated to Simpkins on the en ormity of his offense in entering unbid den' where sacred grief was holding sway, y v- "i '. "My clear, said bimpkins, "could you not assuage your relative's grief in sriie other manner? Do you think thejposition - 1 T f 1 1 I . in wnicn x xounu you was tiaruiy appro priate V Now the vials ot wratb were lully un corked. S. retreated, after receiving a slight scalp wound, and spent the night in . another apartment. ' Mrs. Simpkins, after removing the loose change from her husband's clothing, pitched thim into the hall, locked the door, and regained her bed to meditate and dream. V-- A suspicious man would have discov ered with "half an eye" that Mrs. S. wa3 growing remarkably affectionate towards cousin Hiram ; but Simpkins was not a suspicious map.' He daily saw the - en dearing looks and actions, and at the ta ble saw the choicest dainties placed, on cousin Hiram's plate.- Ho did not re monstrate, if he did remark those signifi cant indications; he merely retained his usual placidity. Returning one day from business at an earlier hour than usual, Abijah let hjra- and proceeded self in with a latch key, "I am so glad to find you both togeth- j directly to his sleeping apartment to.per 1" she exclaimed walking trai"ht . to form his ablutions ; removing his coat, Fred s chair.

What did he see? In his marital conch were reposing the forms of his wife and cousin lliram. What did he do ? he merely said, "excuse me, my dear," or the side of will explain why I am here to react it." "Please don't!" inplored Fred, reco- uiziog Disown cnirography. - "Very well, then,".said she, : foldin ibb uove. Dui. iurs.

As if lie had it ia his power to put an end to my love, or his own cither!" and her eyes niled with tears "Oh, Maggie !" whispered Fred, look ing sioaaiasuy out ot tne window ; "you don t know what yon are talking about.

That was what tred said. tvnat did X got .booked on a moment at the little figure kneeling beside my nephew s chair, while he laid his hands gently on tho curly head, thanking Hea ven, I know, for the blessings of his life, walked out to my own room, and had a good crv, woman fashion.

Simpkins finished washinsr his hands and face, parting his back hair evenly, carefully dusted his coat, put it on, went out of the room, closed the door, descen ded the hall stairs', took his hat from the rack, and having adjusted the k Dan in the proper direction, put it on ' his head ana departed trom the bouse. lie pro ceeded to his lawyer, calmly related what he bad seen, and asked his advice. "What shall you do?'; said Jud?e Hardy, staring in blank astonishment at Simpkins. "Why, divorce, of course. "JL1I commence an action for you at once J" Simpkins said ho bore her no malice. but perhaps it was best to get a divorce, then 6he could follow ber inclination and cousin Hiram. Mr. S. returned -home at an unusually late hour tor him ; he found the" house closed and dark ; entering he lit the gas in the parlor; what a scene met his eight; the most portable and valuable kmck nackeries ' were no where vkiblc : the floor was strewn with a debris composed of bouquet holders, parian statues and such like articles.

The servant who went to the door re turned to the parlor with the message that a lady with a child desired to see Mr. Simpkins immediately, on private and important business. Show ber into the library, Jane," said Mr. S., "and immediately light the cas and start a fire. I will be with her in a moment. When Simpkins entered the library he beheld before the fire, just kindling into a blaze, a woman shabby and dirty, bold inw a child in ber arms : sno stooa wun her back partially towarJs him ; hearing the door close, the woman turned about, nut the ehild on the floor and made a rush for Abiiah ; before he could retreat ' v . r 1 a he was in the arms ot the temaie, wnom hesneedilv recognized as his former wife.

'Where is cousin Hiram ? ' sard Mr. S.. when the uoman was forced to h'd up for want of breath, and the child was forced to stop yelling for a moment or choke to death. He basely deserted me in a distant city, after he had spent all my money ; and I have walked - nearly all the way here," sobbed the former Mrs. S. '.'Now, wont you take me back ?' Hut your request is impossible, calm ly replied Simpkins. "I- have been di vorced, from you, and foe a year have been married to another woman. "And will vou detert me and your own child?" said the former Mrs. S., in a voice which was gradually assuming the crcsendo, and taking up the child which had resumed his audibility rslie held him up towards Simpkins, who commenced to back toward the door in order to escape from tho storm which he saw rising. "Madam," said he, 'you will observe that child has a head of a decidedly rcd ish cast, while both your hair and my own are of a dark hue. I cannot own the child to be my offspring nor give you shelter in this hou.-e ; so you must im mediately depart." This was spoken in an unruffled tone, and as he spoke he had nearly reached the door; tho woman was too quick for hiia, she flung the child on the floor, and in a moment had Simp kins by the shoulder and flunghim back into the centre of the room where he landed against a heavy chair, which was overturned, and he fell to the floor ; then the late Mrs. S. showed she had not for- ; gotten her old tricks ; she seized a large spittoon but it was too heavy lor ber; in her haste to throw it at her fallen foe, it slipped from her hands and went through the window causing a terrible crash ; the child on the floor bad set up a yell that could be heard half a dozen blocks. The late Mrs. S. uot finding other portable ar ticles at hand was flinging books at Simp kins ; Simpkins' wife hearing trie roui pus, rushed out -of the front door shout ing "murder 1" "police"!" . Jane, the servant, rushed from the basement, shout ing "fire 1" "murder I" "thieves 1" "rob bers !" Heads were poked out of windows up and down the street, . one' policeman arrived, but hearing so much noise in the house, he dared not enter alone, thinking half a dozen murderers, at least were in the house. When five officers had reached the spot, they bravely entered, arriving, just in time to prevent the woman from setting fire to a pile composed of every thing moveable in the room, under which Simpkins lay waiting for some one to rescue him. The valiant officers after a ' liberal use of clubs, succeeded in gain ing command of the infuriated woman, removed her from" the house, four , men being required to perform the work ; the fifth followed carrying the baby, which had screamed until it could scream no longer. " ' ' Jane closed the door, taking in an offi cer to assist in searching for the murdered Simpkins. Fourteen physicians were de manding entrance, but the officer would allow but one to enter; as they entered the room Simpkins arose from the .pile of rubbish calm and collected, -iufortned the officer and doctor that he was unin jured, and dismissed them with thanks, explained matters to his wite, who bad just regained consciousness (she having tainted .away, supposing her husband murdered), went to the front door and informed the large crowd there congre gated, that no one was harmed ; left the library iu the servant's hands, requesting her to see well to the fire and put out the gas when she had rearranged the room, returned to the parlor with his wife and after he had reassured her, completed a story which he was reading when inter rupted by the caller, retired at bis usual time and slept soundly. "He never was more troubled by tho former Mrs. S. bhe acted so outrageously at the station- housa and in the court room that the judge ordered her sent to the insane asy lum. When it was decided that she might be allowed partial liberty, she was employed as an assistant, and finally be came one of the keepers in the female ward. She was made of hard stuff, aud hard business suited her, as when the whim took her she could beat ono of the patients with no one to molest her. Here she ended her life.
