Yes, aunt, you must excuse me."
"But, Fred."
'There are no buta about it, my dear
aunt. . 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-

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

than one inquiry was made for him, for
he was a favorite of us all but to no one
did I say, "Go up stairsv" I knew ho
-did not wish it.
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

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.

entered, but I foolishly imagined vou

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. ,

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. JL.dug the grave, but the

taking on myself the duties of a profess

walk again or not, yon have probably : a
long life before you; and my advice is
to allow all the plants which Providence

Throw nothing away which is holy, and
calculated to lessen your burden.

Just then Ben stuck his head in the
door.

"Show her up, Ben," 1 ordered.

But the eulden entrance of the young

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

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-

But where shall I go?" said S.; as
soon as "I bave finished inv ablutions I

"Go to the d 1 ;" replied Mrs. S.
Simpkins finished washinsr his hands

Simpkins said ho bore her no malice.
but perhaps it was best to get a divorce,
then 6he could follow ber inclination and

closed and dark ; entering he lit the gas

the most portable and valuable kmck

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

the door close, the woman turned about,

before Simpkins, and raising her .hands

'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. ' "
' Simpkins never had other great troub
les to try Vis sublime patience, lived
happy, and'died at a-ripe old age.

Itead The Following::
It affords me much pleanre to rive you, ia these
few lines; a very sincere testimonial for the Piano
fortes of vour manufacture. . We bave now used
the "Patent Arion Pianos" ia our Conservatories
forayear, and hare had a fair opportunity of test
ing their durability during that time.. The Pianos
have been played upon almost constantly, from
morning ttll'night, and a Piano meet indeed be a
good one wbea it will bear such constant ase with
out showing signs of defection. As' lor rewatatn
t tm; it out rivals any Piano known to me.
. Their peculiar sweetness of tone in the treble ,
(aa compared to other Pianos with the ordinary
metal agraffe arrangement ) is so striking that I
have had DUDilsremark. while takrar tbcirlersons,
teat alticnsn, they had at Home wnat iney sup
nnae 1 to he one of the best makes of Piauos, still
thetreblewas very wtfV t"a?l compared with the
What makes them still more desirable is their
uniform volume of tone, which enables an Artist to
perform a composition in its true character. .
in total. 1 eau conscientiously endorse an mat is
claimed by the Arion Piano - Porte Company for
their superb instruments, as I consider thtm su
perior to any olker make.
Congratulating you upon the great success you
bave obtained in the manufacture of so perfect an
lastrumcnt, I remain yours.
