Sybil —as n bright, saucy i brunette, whose numerous flirtations ' may hare hardened hor heart, for she , .-howed no regret at the loss of the lover ' whose tactics she may have understood and very likely have ptartice-l. But Alice JIayrs was harder to win, more j womanly. When Anderson began to j exhibit his unainijiblc qufliiticsof char- ' arter, a sorrowful amazement retried iqion lier, and she bore his vagaries with a |»tieno! bum only of lore. At length, a light acemcil lo dawn upon Iter. She scanned him closely, weighed him oreftdty and deliberately, and al'ter an engage mint of four months returned his diamond with the ironical iiifonnaUon tliat "She had discovered tliat be was too good fur lier," and went ' South to tench the frerdman. . llut Mollie, pretty Mollie, would he lt-n phfioaophicol.

I luid been confined at home for several weeks with Uncle James, who hod beenquiu ill, and had not socn Mollie during Uio time. I asked Anderson twice to bring to spend an evening In the sitting-room but hq put mc off with some excuse.— He waa wounding, grieving, and harosiing the ]ioor little soul, andn wholesome dread of Qousin Illica's sliarp , tongue induced him to keep her out of is-ct.-d; in lact, 1 hud calculated upsi , it. but I was no less nngry an that ae , .
