Youna man, be up and doing,
Wring for the world a name!

Bid idleness and sloth depart,
Climb up the hill of fame;

Resolve to be a hero
In what you undertake ;

Be first and foremost in the throng,
Active and wide awake,

Forget the past, press onward,
The present is your own;
Resolve, each eyening’s sunset
Shall find your duties done.
*Tis only by endeavor,
By stern and earnest will,
You can succeed in climbing
Fame’s steep and rugged hill.

Yet, with a manly purpose,
And mind that knows not fail,
No barrier can interpose—
But which you may not scale.
Care not for scoffs or idle jeers,
All flattery despise,
** Excelsior,” your motto be,
Onward and upward rise.

A TALE OF REAL LIFE.

BY MISS MARTINA REMICH,

* PropaBiy it is too true!”

It was in a lady's boudoir, fitted with
the uppliances of wealth, that the two sat.
The speaker, a fair lady of some three and
twenty summers, with ia ofthought and
care already graven upon her brow, anda
troubled light in the large hazel eyes,
which were sorrowfully downcast, sirale:
ing from the stern gaze of her companion.
Ho was a dark, graye man, in the flower
ot life, numbering five and thirty years,
with a firmly-curved mouth, and now an
indefinable expression of struggling an-
guish gud pride in his habitually calm face
* And I have been deceived madam, all
these yeirs, fearfully deceived!” LHe set
his teeth hard together, ** It has been re-
served for a mere chance to tell me what
my wife is. Fool! worse than a fool, to
be taken with only a fair face.”

wy Wenge nergle and Logg
Colonel Lawson, Butt have some excuses
to plead.”

“Exeuses!’ he broke forth fiercely.
You own your elopement with Mr.Ilawley,
the whole shametul story! You own all
that my good Aunt Alice has been pouring
into my ear for the last half hour. You
admit that this disgraecful episode com-
pelled your mother to give up the old home
und remoye to this city. Would her choice
had lighted upon another place! You haye
deceived an honorable man—entered an
unblemished family. In heaveu and earth
what excuse is there for such baseness ?”

“ Only this,” and the low yoice struggled
to steady itself. ‘+1 was very young. 1
thought [ loyed him, I did not, could not
dreuin of his baseness, much less that he
was the husband of another, I could not
understand my mother’s repugnance to
him. His specious words persuaded me,
[thought I was doing only what many
others of my sex haye done in eloping to
marry.”

He sneered.

“And so but for your uncle’s timely
pursuit where had you been? Asitis, your
reputation can never be cleared to the
world, to ine,”

“Tdid wrong,” she answered, stru
gling with her teurs, ‘* [should have told

you all, But do me the justice to remem-

er how long I wavered at your suit. Jlad
Lloved you less, Frederick, with such a
past, I should never have become your
wife. And the feariul secret has hung
oyer me. It has poisoned every joy.
Every hour of these three long years I
have foreseen this to-day. And I have
shrunk trom it-more and more as I knew
Mat btorn justice, your unconqucrable
yride,
oo You should have thought of them be-
fore, Ielen;” and though he spake her
name, there was no softening in his tones.
«The disgrace you have brought upon me
can never be blotted out. Your name will
soon be in every mouth. This revived
story willtake wings. It will not rest with
Mrs. Bernard. The rich, the beautiful
Mrs. Lawson !”
Ile started to his feet, and began to pace
up and down the floor. He had known
sorrow before. He thought so when he
stood by his mother’s death-bed, for he had
been a most dutiful son; he thought so
when he bent over the corpse of his young
brother, snatched sway in his promiso by
an untimely death—shot through the heart
in aducl; but these were not to benamed
in the day with this,
Ile paused at length in his rapid walk,
and stood before her, meeting the uplifted
eyes and clasped hands with a brow of
firmresolve. ‘‘ Lhaye acountry residence
Ilelen, whi have not yet seen; the
old homestead where my father’s father,
and his father betore him, lived and died.
We will go thither to-morow.” He took
out his watch. ‘The train we take leaves
early, at eight, and now it is not far from
sunset. You will need to bestir yourself
at onee in packing. And put in your
trunks all you want; it may be long ere
you will return.”

The pale sea-green hangings of tho walls
soonted to reflect a decalicr palencss on
her already white face.

«Our child 1” she faltered.

“ Will remain here for the present.”

“Oh, nof no!” and with « frantic cry
she threw hérself at his feet, clasping his
knees.

"Pity me, my husband! have pity on
me! Iam innocent—f am innocent of all
but imprhdence and silence, “Lake me
where the will, but do not part me from
my child.”

“Cease!” he answered, impatiently
breaking from her hold, ©‘ You haye been

and I may as well tell you at onee, and

hall (arned, as he crossed the threshold, to
see her extended insensible upon the floor,
Ie hesitated for an instant, then rang for
her maid, and bidding her attend to her
mistress, passed on below to the dining-
room,

lleve he summoned the housekeeper, to
whom he announced the morrow’s journey
and requested her to assist Mrs. Lawson's
maid in packing for her mistress; as he
plainly foresaw, from the state in which
ne had left his wile, that she would be
quite unequal to the exertion,

“T might have withhell the last an-
nouncement until we were safe at Roth-
ston,” he muttered, as he passed on to the
library. ‘But her wild appeal irritated
me. Low could she think 1 would trust
her with the guardianship of our child?”

With a heavy sigh Mrs. Lawson awoke
from the deadly fainting fit into which she
had fallen, and met the ansious face of her
muid bending over her, ‘The dark day
had come—the disclosure to which she had
looked forward from the very commence-
ment of her married life. Why was she
signalled ont for so dark a fate? she asked
herself, bitterly, as she buried her face in
the pillows of the lounge to which she lad
been raised from the floor. ‘ Why in niy
thoughtless school days was it permitted
for Mr Hawley to cross my path? Why
were his evil passions roused by my poor
face to follow me to my home, to seek en-
trance into the socicty which surrounded
me, to leaye no wile unpracticed to win
my confidence? Why did no guardian
spirit, no inyisible prompter, withhold me
from the rash step which branded my name
to the world—to all but my nearest kin ?
Why was I suffered to enter so tamely in-
to this marriage, with the heavy burden of
concealment weighing upon my heart ?
Well, Mrs. Clifton never liked me; [know
well that this cruel tale has lost none of its
bitterness from her lips; she could well
afford the disgrace to see me rent from her
nephew’sheart. You may leave me Lucy,”
she said, suddenly conscious that her maid
was still waiting beside her, ‘+L am_ bet-
ter. I wish to be alone.”

The girl hesitated.

«The colonel said you were to pack for
Rothston, this afternoon, and would want
my assistance.”

fer pale face flushed.

: She half started
ts, gtd Won snake back helplessly

You will ask Mis. Miles to assist you.”
The girl stilllingered, She would have
asked some directions, but the repressed
suffering in her mistress’ face checked her,
and after pausing irresolutely a few mo-
ments, she quilted the room in silence,

Hour after hour passed, and Mrs. Law-
son still lay with her hands still clasped
over her throbbing temples, The sunset
faded into twilight, and the twilight deep-
ened into a starlit darknses, ‘Lhe tea bell
rang, but the summons passed unheeded,
and only when the elear chimes of nine
rang upon the hushed city she rose, and
stood mechanically before her mirror to
smooth back her disordered tresses. ‘1
must not Iet them see me thus;” and a
faint shudder. passed oyer her as she
thought of the servants’ curious eyes. The
next moment she smniled bitterly. ** Why
should Ieare? ‘The whole town may know
my disgrace and banishment to-morrow.”

She turned, and quitting the room,
passed on with trembling steps to the
nursery, Jler eager hand was upon the
door; she essayed to open it, but found
to her dismay that it resisted her touch,
A few moments were spent in ineffectual
attempts, and then recollecting hersell,
she went back to the boudoir she had just
quitted, and rang the bell, ILer maid
soon appeared,

**Is Colonel Lawson in ?”

The girl looked at her with curious
eyes.
“Yes, madam. _ Ie is in the library.”

“Ask him to come up—but stay; Lill
go to him.”

Without allowing herself time for re-
flection, she brushed past the maid and
descended the stairs. At the door of the
library she paused. Nothing but the er-
rand upon which she came could have
borne her again into his presence, As
it was, she half drew back to retrace her
steps; but her mother’s heart overbore,
ane she pressed on.

Ile looked up from the desk at which he
was busily writing. and paused with his
pen in his hand. A faint expr: ssion of
surprise mingled with the sternness of his
half-averted face.

Sho saw the look, the involuntary ges-
tures of repulsion, and it steadied strange-
ly her fluttering nerves. She approached
him at onee.

* Colonel Lawson, why am T debarred
from the sight of my child, when there is
so little time we may spend together?”

«To spare a painful scene,” he answer-
ed, coldly, ‘Sand to spare as far as may
be the gossip of the servants, Also for
his sake; young as he is, ho may retain
some recollection of your emotion which
were better otherwise.”

She sunk down into the chair by which
she stood.

«Twill be very calm,” she said.

“You shall seo him to-morrow in my
presence.”

He resumed his wriling, She looked
at him despairingly. ‘his cool disdain
touched her to the heart, A thrill of
anger stirred her bosom. Should she
humble herself to further entreatios? "Phe
low, continued sound of his pea hurriedly
tracing Jines upon the sheet before him
alone broke the deathlike stillness, She
rose at length. Ife took no notice of the
movement, or the rustling of her dress as
she turned to go.

In the solitude of her chamber a rush
of bitter recollections came over her,
She looked with wild eyes upon the splen-
dor whieh surrounded her, and then ap-
proaching the window, put back the hoavy
crimson curtain, and gazed forth into the
deep starlit night. ‘To-1morrow she would
be in Rothston. ‘To-morrow in the lonely

she penetrated her husband's purpose to-
ward her; they had dawned as a lightning
flash in his speech, the banishment to
which his stern heart condemned her,
Alas, she was kinless, friendless. She had
no choice but to submit.

The morning broke clear and bright, a
fair spring day. It broke on sleepless
pillows and aching temples in the home of
Colonel Lawson. The early breakfast
bell was unanswered by the mistress, and
the peal was barely tasted by the Colonel.
Ife sent 2 message, when he rose, to his
wife’s chamber, to bid her be in readiness
for the carriage, and he waited with some
little uneasiness under his self-possessed
air the return of the servant. It was
somewhat delayed, and he stood looking
ont of the dining-room window, on the
litle spring garden beneath, already
bright with purple crocuses and golden
moss, Something in the former affected
him unpleasantly, he scarce knew why.
They brought back his wife’s fair girlhood,
her innocent tastes and loves. He tarned

away, stifling an impatient sigh. ‘* What
keeps Bridget solong? Surely Helen will

not dare to exaspirate me. Last night
must have shown her my firmness,”

He heard the girl's step at that instant.
She came in,

‘*Mrs, Lawson is ready, sir. She
wad to see you,”

‘She trusts to my promise,” he thought.
“Well. it was ant, but better than’ to
leave an impression on his mind which
might never be removed.”

He went up to her room at once. She
was already attired in her grey travelling
habit, and but for the marble pallor of her
cheek and brow, and the dark circles
round her eyes, his searching glance might
have fallen in vain for a trace of the an-
guish at her heart. Neither spoke, andhe
pect on in silence to the nursery. ‘The
key grated softly in the lock, and they
stood in the chamber. ‘he early sunrise
lay warm and bright over the soft. white
couch and the peaceful sleeper. With a
sudden movement, Colonel Lawson gently
withheld his wife’s passionate impulse to
approach the bed, ‘ Remember!” he
whispered, warvingly, ‘ For his sake as
well as your own.”

‘*My child! my child!” she faltered.
‘When shall we mect again? Let me
hold him to my heart only this once!”

“JTush! you will wake him,” he answer-
ed, sternly, ‘You promised self-com-
mand. I was wrong to allow eyen this.”
The door-bell rang. The carriage had
arrived. He drew her from the chamber,
closing the door noiselessly after them,
and offered his hand to lead her down.
She shrank from him with a gesture of
anguish, and drawing her veil closely over
her face, slowly descended, The coach-
man, who stood in waiting on the steps,

Lawson sprang in after her, and® took a
seat opposite; the trunks were lifted on,
and in a few moments they were whirling
nay to the railway station.

Twilight was beginning to full when
the train halted at Rothston, and they en-
tered the stage which stood in waiting tor
passengers. An humble conveyance for
the proud and courted Mrs, Lawson,
crowded in with a promiscuous group;
but she felt nothing of this minor diseom-
fort. She saw mechanically the bleak
country through which they were passing,
