When Mr. Thornly reached his office he found Frederick Well wait- ing to sco hint; who accosted hini with an air of constraint, not to sav embarrassment, not at all remarka- ble, when we consider the awkward errand on which he came. "1 heard of Miss Xeal's misfortune last evening, sir; aud 1 assure you with deep regret." "Miss Xeal's misfortune? what the deuce d'ye meau?" said tho old gentleman gruffly, with whom the JACKSON, young man was, by no mcins, a fa vorite.

Ellen entered tho parlor in a rath perturbed state of mind; much as she rejoiced at her escape, the could not but feel deeply Krieved at this discovery of the unworttiuess of him, whom she had hitherto es- teemed so highly as to often re- proach herself that she could not love him as he deserved.

Great Britain claimed the country known as Ore- - eon and Washington territory The British ships of-w-ar were seut out to examine tho country and re port to the British Ministry upon its value.

He was speaking of our military conflict with Great Britain: "Our lathers raised tneir flag against a power to which, for purposes of foreign conquest and subjugation, Uomo, iu the bight of her glory, is not to no compareu: a power which has dotted over the whole globe with her possessions and her military posts, whoso morn- ing drum-bea- t, following the sun in its course aud keeping pace witn the hours, circles the earth with one continuous and unbroken strain of martial airs of England."

Falconer sighed, and his brow con- tracted with pain, as he looked after her. "Poor child! it is so hard to re fuse her anvthinsr." He was a pale young man, with a thoughtful cast of countenance and earnest grey eyes; habitually re- served and prudent, he was account ed a sharp business man, and at the lime of his marriage, two years pre- vious, the old nieu predicted that he would eventually become oue of the largest capitalists in 11.

" Savage," cried Lou, bcgiuumg to nont. " " Tins is unreasou&uie anu cnnu- - ish !" exclaimed her husband, impa tiently pushing back his chair. He had some perplexing business on his mind, and was in uo mood lor trl fling. But Lou burst into tears. " Hang it all !" cried Edward, and taking his hat he left the house. He had not gone ten steps, however before his resolution failed him, and hurrving to the nearest bank, he hasti'lv drew a check aud returned houie with the money. He found his wife iu her own room, with their little Eddie on her lap ; the traces of tears were fresh ou her face, aud she was singing to the baby in alow tone. Forgive mo, my precious,' for having been so crabbed, jut.t now,' plead Falcoucr, in a penitent tone as he bent over and kissed her, at the same time placing the money in her baud.

Falconer began to protest that be stood in need of neither dressing-gow- n or slippers, but a reproachful glance from Lou's blue eyes arrested his words. "Xot when 1 am going to make them with mv own little fingers?" she said, aud Edward was subdued instanter. The following week, Lou's moth- er, Mrs. Townsend, arrived, and was affectionately welcomed by her daughter and 6on-in-la- She was a thoroughly sensible, reasonable woman, with a deal of penetration, that seemed to divine things at a glance, aud was an acquisition to any household. "Don't you think, Lou," she said to her daughter oue day, when the latter had, iu her usual coaxing, half-poutin- g style, been urging Ed- ward to some fresh extravagance, "that you may pusii your importu- nities just too far? Mr. Falconer looks very much perplexed aud wor- ried to-da- y, I think." " Oh, Edward is the dearest, most amiable of men." "Yes, Lou, but for the very that your husband is amiable and indul- gent to a fault, you should bo mer- ciful, and not press him too far. Xow, I consider that baby's cloak whieh too coaxed him into getting for Eadic, quite an unnecessary piece of extravagance.. 2Sow take my advice and be a little more rea- sonable in your demands." Mrs. Falconer knew better than loout at her mother, so she re- solved not to ask her husband for anything in her presence again; but no sooner was Mrs. Townscnd gone than the old practice was renewed. Too much satisfied with her own selfish little aims she did not notice that her husband's manner was often strangely flurried; there was a reck- lessness in his very tenderness ; he refused her nothing that she asked for, and the Fit tie lady availed her- self to the very utmost of this pro- pitious disposition. "Oh, Edward," she said to him oue day, as they sat together over her dessert, "tho charity ball comes off next Wednesday, and I havo been mado one of the lady patronesses. I mmt have a pretty dress for the oc- casion." "Order what you will," ho said larnnicallv, as he rose aud left the table.

Ho enquired of tho house maid.' who tad been aroused from a nap by the violent jerking of the parlor bell, if her mistress had gone out ; aud sleepy as the girl was, she was startled (as she afterward aver- red) " by the look of his face "as he dismissed her. He went to his own room, where little Eddie lay asleep, but turned abruptly from the peaceful picture. The neavy ice of despair lay on his heart.
