it should be of some avail, for I would go-soon enough to be invited in, and then it should be a very odd thing if I were not introduced to Miss Warner. This all happened just as I had planned, but I only had a few moments of conversation with her. I was fctonninea to hare some sort of teexranation about thai hand-
J kerchief, and my only chance was to
jptucaiw mo pHHuauuuuice. x asKea ner to "accompany me to a lecture, and had the mortafioation to find she was going witha mastoid professor. Abashed, I watoheil my chance ot seeing her alone, wMeh wasjpnally accomplished. 'What was my -chagrin to find that she neeer had heard of me on the night of the guitar serenade; bat, baring .heard my friend " John sing the same . sngsy and knowing him to be a guitarist, she concluded the difference in th0 rpices eoiikt be explained by a cold, and that it must be he. Thus was my little rwnance dashed to the ground, and the fair structure of my "Castle in Spain," had melted into thin air. 1 begged to be allowed to keep the handIwremef, though, for J was really interested hy the girl by this time.

There was no gleem of amusement in the' brown' eyes that looked into mine with an honest straightforwardness whieh was Tory captivating just at that moment. If there had been, I should kare rejected with scorn any overtures Of frieads&p that she might make, As it was, it soothed my wounded ranto, see that 'splendid creature,' as I fjgtsBy called her, glossing over my "adventure, and I rea nested her

seated by her Side in a buggy, it was one of those topped concerns with a narrow seat, and I blessed the maker thereof, for as we Bat there her shoulder touched mine, and the wind whisked the Ions feather, oh her hat, in the side of my face. I fear I was Terr near gone, for the bliss. I felt can't be de scribed; It must be experienced to be &ppeciat&d. . , She had taken off her gloves, and; when I went to assist her to alight, I noticed how delightfully soft and white her hand was, and I could Scaroe Sr refrain from, dressing it to my pi. Thed for the" first time I thbngUt what unutterable happiness it would be to press her to my breast; to feel her arms round my neck, to lay my lips on hers, and to feel their fervent prossure returned. Wash too sudden? I think not. How many times did Borneo Juliet before a passion was conceived, which was stronger than life? , To go on with rrty story I asked her to go J8 campnleeting In niy buggy the next Sunday. I shall bless that grand old Methodist institution to my dying
day, for I believe that it was on that day she first thought of becoming my
wife. When we started to the camp
grounds the wind blew warm, balmy and moist from the southwest,, it
seemed to betokott ramj but, said I, who ever heard of its raining at camp-meeting.
Miss Warner bravely declared she thought a "good ducking" was not such
a fearful catastrophe. It was September, and the leaves had commenced to turnt and as
We drove through shady .lanes the wind twisted. . them 68
and threw them suite! nil? in our fact
Emerging into open prairie, the breeze rushed at us, "swishing" the dry, standing grass in a manner which augured ill for a pleasant day. But I thought little of the wind, or anything else, exeept that I had my soul's desire in the
companionship of her who was with me. When we had arrived to within a few rods of the nampsrounda. lo! a few ttrelintmarc?
drops of rftiu came hurling thfttagii the ftir. and warned us to put up tne side
cunams ana water-prooi lap-rone, ana prepare for the worst which" was not
so bad after all; for we drove ttndef a
friendly ek sot far from the rnde palwit and stared in the buggy. Then the
rain descended "the nigh way." All the slakes were opened, and a new add very choice assortment of water-spouts were turned onto the assembled multitude. The windows of the heavens were thrown wide open, and the water-
pitcners were held there upside down, but we were dry and comfortable, and observed with interest all that went, on erBond 113. We saw a sorry-looking dog walking leisurely along, with the water pouring in streams from his drooping tail and ears; he passed near us, looking at tu with so sad an expression that X spoke to him thinking to cheer him; whtr uiidn be gave onS solemn bark; leaving US', o$ he passed on", convulsed with laughter. The spectacle of a very fat lady with a quilt around her, hustling along to a barn which stood near, seemed unspeakably funny. Bat the climax was reached when i

iy nuu, ana uoiawg an immense piece of bread and cheese in each hand, biting first from one and then from the other. Neither of us yelled at him, but I must confess I had a strong desire to know something more of him. Then the Conversation turned" front the ridiculous rein to the serious; and we wondered s to the history of this; that and the other person what he was thinking what he proposed doing; and we made for them quite interesting histories. Then we wandered into the realms of the abstract, and, I remenlber welt the earnest glow of her cheek as she gave her views of this or that subject, and the luminous flash of her eyes as she turned them upon me 8 ho wore a thin, black lace veil that day, and her bright eyes and cheeks lost nothing by their partial obscurity. At about this time another couple of our acquaintance drove up, breaking ,up our exalted frame of mind. By this time I thought it must be
pretty near the dinner hour, so .shout
ed to my friend: , "Oh, Mac, climb out and go over to that restaurant, or whatever it is, and bring us something to eat. Get. enough for all four of us, and I'll foot the bill' "No, thanks," was his answer. "We hare our dinner with us." 1 knew very weU he hadn't, but it wasn't polite to say so, and so I beornn
preparations for "climbing out," my' self, but of this Miss Warner would not hear. She was not hungry, she said:
She even went so far as to lay her hand in entreaty, on my sleeve; and as I felt" the light weight, I immediately made it a prisoner in my own hand. This did not seem to suit her; she at once made the discovery that she was in great need of her handkerchief. On drawing this oat I saw it was the same I had had for a number of days in my possession. "Wont you give it to me now?" I asked, in a voice at once humble, entreating, and full of love. She understood mo, for the blood leaped into her cheeks, and her eye shot a quiet sidelong glance into mine. She put it quickly away, however, and I thought of John with a jealous pang that sent all the blood baok to my heart, making it beat painfully hard, slow, and uneven. I said no more, however, for I knew our friends would be sure to observe us, if we continued so, I did not feel quite so contented as I had
before, and was making a pretense of feeling desperately hungry, to find an exause for changing our embarrassing situation; when, Ktthis opportuno moment, a friend of ours, who lived near, came and invited us to his house. As his invitation was warmly seconded by his wife, and attended also to our
friends, wo all four accepted, and soon
found ourselves comfortably housed. Evening came on, and in the gloaming my heart went out so strongly to my girl friend, who had secmied to be half afraid of me ever since the little enisode
just mentioned, that I went and spoke
quietly and indifferently on subjects of no particular interest to reassure her."
Bat I knew the thought of the handkerchief was uppermost in her mind, as it was in mine. I swallowed whatever
of resentment I might feel, and continued to "do the agreeable;" but,' finally, finding ourselves alone, I said
in alow, firm way:
"May," (it was tho first time I had
ever called her so), "if you don't wast me to hare the handkerchief, say so, and I will never bother you about it again. I can giv up the idea of havine
it, or your affection, either; hat oh,
d"orii call me to do it unless you despise me." Her hands rera fluttering here and there, nervously, and she said, "I .don't despise yod, , Mr. Baymon'd, but" here a pause ensued, and we heard some one approaching; but there was that in her timid and frightened manner that emboldened me to lay violent hands on the little piece of cambrie the next time X saw it, and she dafed.nttt feswt for fear 8f wnat I Should iWy. Strangely;, as she' Seemed to lo.se, courago I seemed to gain it; and I felt myself master of the situation: I regarded het almost as" betrothed td me, although I had not asked .the altimportant question yet: Iwould do so on the home drive, I told myself. But "Man proposes; God disposes;" and what should happen but that May should be sent for? I see you stare, but Mrs. Newman, her aunt, had been taken violently ill, and iu her delirium she called all the time for her niece. Of course she had to go, and I went baok to Corel alone, after seeing her go owiiy with her. uncle., , , , ., It seem $ nty'tM feelings' witty which I watched her .leave must havj) been prophetic of what was to follow. Utter lonesomeness, mingled with unutterable love, filled my heart, and a wild desire to go and snatch her in my arms before everybody, and claim her as my very own, seized me. Crushing back all such foolishness, I resolved to see hef.in .few days.! at farthest; ,and then all would be right; yet I had aii inner consciousness that all would not be right, and so it proved; for the redoubtable aunt took a terrible dislike to me, and would not let me go on her premises, She lingered along, however (and I shall always believe (she feigned much, flf that .sickness ta leap' jm fikh Ha fold fiiyffiffld John went constantly to their house.. . Theft ftie "GreW-eyed monster;," commenced to tear me. Another fellow, too, went there, but I had this consolation John would be as jealous as I was myself. Things wont on this way for weeks. I wrote to May, but got no reply, and then I stigmatised her as a vile flirt. I told myself I hated her. Anybody that would blush and tremble as Bho Had in nt presence, and let a. fel lotf take the. memento that, slid fenef to be the dearest to his heart; was not worthy the love of any honest ; nian. ( I despised her. Of SOUrse.I did, HoV I longed for art opportunity to. toll her gently just how I regarded her. Yet I treasured that little square of muslin as I never before had treasured anytfibg. Why is it, that when a man is jealous he is the most unreasonable animal on the face of the earth? I thought she was trifling with John's heart just as she had trifled with mine: rte was not td blanie tkii.v ftlore Misn flifid Men; Yet, when I met him at rare intervals, sneh was the unreasoning anger I felt against him that I could hardly force niysolf to treat him with common courtesy, let alone the old-time cordiality that subsisted . between Us. He felt the change, as J could not belli knitting M Itouldj but he aiib" tne the reason for it, and there was such an overstrained friendliness in his bearing toward me, and a suppressed, though vory apparent, exaltation in his whole manner, that I only restrained myself from an open rapture of his friendship by to almost superHumaS effort; I Saw her only onoe during the rest of the fall and winter. It was in a crowd, and I could not for a moment dream of saying anything out of the commonplace to her. Strange as it seemed, even to myself, I could have kissed the remotest hem of her garment-.

But wfien John 'came up a moment later I cursed her in my heart for the warmth with which she f Reived, him: I resolved to, pieft $ quarrel witii him. He should not gloat over me any more as having won the affections I had lost. Actuated by this high resolve, I waited his coming to town, as he occasionally did, with the determination to so insult him that he never would speak to me. Bat when he came his appearance so disarmed me that it Was I Who "did the friendly" this time. He Was pale, and a sad listlessness showed itself through all his attempts to appear as gay and oareless as ever. ,NB needier hint to explain his trouble. Neither of us alluded to any thing of the kind, but I was glad so gladthat he was in the same trouble I had been in. It was he, this time, who felt resentment; and I was glad of that, too. I didn't care particularly for his friend
ship. (For what did I care?) and I
was glad he would shun my society without any more trouble on my part. Thus matters stood When the spring passed and summer came I concluded to leave that part of the country, and did so, intending to return there after a short visit, settle up my affairs, and leave to stay. While absent on my visit, I received a letter that sent a flood of light to shed its genial warmth over my discontented soul. It was a letter written by Miss Warner to seme of her friends. In it there was a stray sentence which showed me that in her secret heart she loved me as much as I did her. She did not know I ever would see it or she never would have written it, but it was missent, and I got hold of it. I went back immediately, only to find she had gone. She was visiting here, there and yonder all the time I knew her, but this time she had gone from the State. Well, I had one thing to think of nowshe loved mo, too It seemed to comfort me. I suppose I should have despised her more than ever, but I did not. I sold out my small effects and came to this place. I did well, and I may say that I joined the brass band here, too. A- year passed on, and I received certain information as to where May was. A thrill of joy vibrated through and through me. But of what avail was it that I did know of her whereabouts? Did she not play false to her own heart and to me before? After hesitating long I determined to write to her. At the worst she could only treat my letter with the silent oontempt she had dealt the other one I wrote her. So I wrote, and I waited in feverish impatienoe for a reply. A week passed two weeks, and still no letter, I denominated her a false-hearted coquette, and cursed myself for my folly in writing. 1 might have known how it would turn out. Just as I had given up looking for a
reply, one came. It was like herself
bright, interesting, cheery. I would
be afraid to say how many times I read that letter, bqt, to make a long story
short; she n'Svor reciiVejj my j her pride had much to do with

pride had much to do with her cool
treatment of me; for, after having gone as far as I had, she rightly considered that I was not treating her honorably to say nothing further. Dear girl! how freaf we were to being entirely separated. After arriving at a clear understanding I was not long in proposing for her heart and hand, nor was she long in accepting.

Of individual owners there are Sir George Beed, 2,000,000 acres; Earl of Dunmore, 100,000 acres; Earl of Dunraven,. 60,000 acres; Duke of Sutherland, 400,000; the next largest farms are owned by Phillips, Marshall & Co., 1,800,000 acres; heirs of Col. Murphy, 4,100,000 acres; H. Disteu, 12,000,000 acres; Standard Oil Company tl,000,000 aeres; and scores of others?. Nino men own a territory equal to that of New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode Island oombined. Then there ore &reat railroad corporations, whose free gifts of land from profligate Congresses amount to upward of 200,000,000 acres. Eleven of these corporations have been given 120,000,000 acres. The Northern Pacific road has received the biggest slice, 47,000,000. and the grants have ranged all the way from 1,000,000 acres and upward. The usual fortune of complaint is to exoito contempt more than pity, Johjjrson. ' : i
"TWS OUT THE RASCALS." Itr: fisna; of the New Yk Sun,
adopts tho sTiibbMefii "Tito lit the rascals" as his entire political plaWofiif; He flaunts it at the top of his columns'
in big letters, leaded and spaced. Many iv pfc asking themselves, What does it meaflf To,hotn docs it refer?
Considering Mr. Dana's location and
environment we have come to flic wn-
clusion that it must refer to the Democratic rascals whom the Republicans of New York foolishly permitted to obtain
sse3(nofl Of their Legislature and leir State mice's lost fall. These hmtferstie rascals have nVfded $2,326,'
000 to &o' axi of the" Sjtatft Most oi it has gone topayfdlW-Democratsand
fellow-rascals for party services juoes Mr. Dana mean that these are the rascals that are to be turned out? ,. The new Board of Claims created by iuS Dicjtetie- rascals absorbs $25,800. Turn out the f aSoal of the Board of Claims by all means. Pei'triiG them not to rob the taxpayers of this amount.An Emigration Commissioner and two deputies gobble $12,800 of the peofrte's! BKmey. Turn ont those Democratic .Tammnir raseals. Insist that itfcr shall be tarried odt, Mr, Dana. KiWi ont the" Ttoiriany-created useless Captain (ft tWe Port of New Yorky and his eleven subor'diillrfe ward-strikers, dubbed harbormasters, and sad the tax-payers $31,000. Turn out these rascals, and keep them out. Away with tho useless and ridioulous Bureau 0f Labor Statistics established by the Dentec'ratie' rYWcSls whom the fdolkb Republicans trusted and save the $11,400 which1 ii oosts. It was created to provide fat fobs' for two or

Turn out every raical who has helped to burden the people with new offices, increased salaries, and added expenses I And when Mr. Dana and his friends hate d(me with tho rascals who are pieyhlg an tlie Stdte he can turn his attention to1 the Defftoctatio thieves and fMcitowlitf prey ori New' Yet city.

Kick out every rascal, and keep him out forever; ont of every place but the penitentiary, which, though it contains numeroiifi DSmScratio rascals, has room for more of them. bhitittfo tribune. PelHieal Kotos. The Demooratio cry of "turn the rascals out" doesn't consist. They are already out, and have been for more thaii twenty fears, The trouble is that the "rftseaiir waift in, , Th Br&fklyrt Times think that Robert Lincoln, of EHnolsf arid Joseph t. Hawley, of Connecticut, would make he strongest Presidential ticket that could do put into the field. Hancock, if ho doesn'l wite to lie a candidate next year, ought to be able to get out of it under the constitutional clause which provides that no man's life shall teed be ii in jeopardy for the same oS9ase.PliUddelphMPi esS. The New York Times' correspondent, after making an exhaustive survey of the Demooratio political situation in Indiana, has arrived at the conclusion that tho general sentiment of the Hoosier Democrats is in favor oi the ticket t)f .1876--Tilde'n Sritt Hendrfoks. The New Hoik Sun promises a Solid South" to the righi kind 6f Democratic Presidential candidate. The right kind of a candidate has not yet been selected. But is it not a little risky to promise the votes of Virginia, Florida, North Carotin awl even Delaware thus early. A paetv continually whining that its members at election times are bought and sold like so many sheep at the shambles, Will never merit tho confidence of the co"untry, end so long as it persists in running on this degraded ind degrading level it need expect nothing but defet-Indi(inapois Journah The Ohio Democrats are beginning to gBt frightened about the attitude of the independent voters. The independent voter is usually a tax-payer, is seldom or never a saloonist; so the Ohio Democrats need hare no doubt gat the independents will vote against badly; the salodn candidate, and for Etyjraker and the enforcement of the IW. The cyclone and tho floods have done a good "deal of damage this year, and Democrats have hivd hopes of the Sotato bugs, worms, grasshoppers, and rought until now. It will bo noticed that that party is never fat except in seasons Of disaster. When whisky is free, and gloom settles over the homes of the toilers, Democracy is strongest and noisiest. Inter Ocean. Listen along the whole Demooratio line, and what do you heav? In Chicago, from Harrison ! "No High-license law!" itt Ohio, from Hoadly: "No Scott law!" from Virginia: "No National tax on whisky !" Everywhere it is "Cheap whisky and dear goods." For free whisky the leaders of the party are willing to maintain the system which has in its day spread more sneds of corruption over the world than any other fiscal system that has over boon in force. Chicago Tribune. The nature of tho Demooraoy cannot admit of harmony. The conspirators to defraud by sham are not faithful to each other. The Domocracy have tried to niftko the thing work before arid failed. They will probably fail for the same reasons again. They mnko a better showing in the non-Presidential general elections, ior the reasons that they are not troubled by tho lack of consistency which necessarily becomes prominentia a Presidential contest, St, Jowis f "'-JmQcrft
