For ali this disturbance grow out of a poor but reputable clerk, a voung man who had occasionally been tltrown into the society of Miss Lueilla for twelve months or in j, nnd luul taken tho lib erty to full iu lovo with her, knowing that sho was tho daughter of one of the richest moit-hants in the city. "It was inoxcusablo in a" poor clerk, who kliould liavo known liis place," Mr Richmond declared, and ho clutclitel tho littlo perfumed billet, that had fallen in his Iiiind, ns lio might n ncorpiou, nud waited for the others with a look on his fuco that told of no softe nlntr.

And Mr. Richmond dropped the first letter, and then took up another. 'The same stutV," ho commented. "I hopo you don't believo n worel ho savs. A plain, earnest, upright sort of a man would never go into such rapsodies, I am sure.

"I don't remember Fred's writing any thing of that .sort," murmurtd poor little Lueilla. "Ho never know you would object." Mr. Richmond shook his head, frowned and read on in silence to tho Inst idient which lay under his hand. Then with an ejaculation of rngo ho started to his feet.
