DECATUR. ADAMS COUNTY, INDIANA, NOV. 4, 1880

KATHLEEN’b LOVE-STO-RY. BY TH». AUTHOR OF “THF BOUERN Kiß LAUNC LOT.” CHAPTER VI. “Respectability, (which, when it did not mean millionaires, signified billionaires and trillionairea), was very sorry for the girl. It was a great pity. But what could be expected after such an insane match as that and then respectability shrugged its shoulders ' again and forgot to recognize the falr len star. Kate had lived among women whose lives had been one long struggle to out-do each other in magnificence, and who kept a troupe of French nursemaids in a well appointed nursery, and ‘forgot to ask about baby,’ and called in to see the cl‘ Idren twice a week. What do you suppoae such an exp« rieuce could make of such a girl as thia heroine as mine ? It I made or her just such a woman aa the jest, just as cooly refined and calculating. only with a little more brains, and a little sting of remorseful longing for something unattainably better, which sometimes made her life wearisome and galling. Her future was laid before her, a future which her 1 raining compelleeßher to accept, and which was a sort of game in which her white hands moved the pieces. Still, if she must marry a millionaire, this was no reason she argued, why she should not amuse herself with men, who were amusing in spite of their empty pockets. There was an excitement in the whirl that made her a belle and almost a goddess. There was an excitement in the bowing of the creme i de la creme of penniless Bohemians i When she drove in hercarriage through ' crowded theroughfares, rough workmen and elegant men turned round alike to gaz i after her, and comment upon her flawless beauty ; and once, when she . had attended a court ball in Paris, the 1 emperor himself had spoken flattering'ly of her. Since her sixteenth year I she had been “a la ( "irce," ' "Superbe" and now, at nineteen, she ‘ laughed at the men who raved about ' her, and wrote poems in her honor, I laughed at them, yet held them in ’hs palm of her delicate, careless hand still. It was only the ‘marquise" again. You were bel'- emells, rebel!,, Ami ibr rest ot hvtiiisss well; You had every gra.-e in ever In your most nogrlic taee. W ith he nauirlee* finer leaven. Lent of bb od mid courtly lace. And was sdde 100 in duty; Ninon's wilsu-l Bouffier's Iw-auly And la Valliere's year caloute s, Followed lhes»; And you liked wbeu he said it, And you kept ii, and yon read it, B> lle Marquise.

Just this it was that made the girl color as she looked at the flower offering She could understand its meaning, and knew what it would end in. And then—and then (woman of the world as she was) she hesitated a little aa the thought came to her might it not end in some faint pang to herself ? There Lad been times in her life before now when the world had seemed a thought darker after handsome, manly faces had turned away from her, paling in despair yet showing something of acorn for the fallen idol. But Carl Seymour was different from even the best of these. The man s very soul was strong, and his power over men, women and children was his chief characteristic. She had heard hie acquaintance talking of him and wondering at his perfec. fascination "He's such a cool, immobile sort of a fellow 1” Tom Griffith had said one dav “But, every man he speaks to respects and looks up to him. By George 1 the very horses in the stable whine and turn their big, velvet ey.s when he lays his hand upon them." Was not this a trifle dangerous ? Kate leaned her firm, white chin upon her palm, and her purple eyes widened and darkened under their fringes as she thought it over. Why was it that this bondage was her fate ? Why was it that the whole sum of her existence lay in the one channel ? “If I were only Kate Ogilive now !" she exclaimed, almost involuntarily, with her scarlet lips parted wistfully “If he had only found me little Kate again, innocent and good in spite of all, I might—-I might She stopped, and the warm color rushed over her face. She was treading on forbidden ground. She laid the basket upon the table and rang the bell for Lotte. “You may dress my hair now, Lotte,” she said ; “and fasten that red Cxmeli in the puffs with a spray of white coral." Lotte pulled it al! down, the darkbrown, burnished hair, with its heavy braids and soft curves, and began to dress it in discreet silence ; and under the gold-dusted mantle the Circe bent her head and watched the marble-cup-ped lilies, and tried to think she was a girl again, and Carl Seymour had the right to call her “Kathleen Mavourneen."

That evening Mr. Colycimh drove his carriage over the '.eech alone, for • henhebai’ called at Bay View, be found the Circe ‘not at home.' “Gone t<> the Spouting Horn with Mr Seymour.” said her aunt with some < i-.-a iafaction apparent in her tu.uaer Kate has a craze ihirit sei mry Ju.t .' .4iiV ODC Wa tijl* , •be sands fur the sake of getti' ■ ■ .i« 1 . ‘ ski anti .atei!

A'js ik> ’his a fon-fesbeg state of affairs, when she walked a n ile with a happy hero. And in the the meantime the Circe forgot herself, strolling over the shining sands, with the shining sea before her, and the shining sky above. The purple waters dini-'—l and whispered and the evening breexe swept a soft

! pink into her waxen cheek, and a soft ; ' light came into her eyes. She felt j like Kate Ogilivo again, and once or twice a tender womanly thrill crept over her as she looked up into her companion's earnest face. For • Seymour, he failed to remember -t- . it was a worldly wise woman he was talking to, and not an innocent, inexperienced girl. Yellow sands, and sunset sky, and lapping waves seemed so familiar that he thought only of the years behind, and the child who had lived in them. YVhen they reached the cliffs at last, they found they were the only visitors. Carl leaned against 1 a jutting fragment and looked down at Miss Davenant's fair face. “Why did you not tell me at first ?” he said, going on with the conversation. Kate colored a little. “It was an impulse that made me tell yau at all,” she said. “An impulse, and the fact that you had almost found me out.” “Butthat is not replying to my question A wish almost uncontrollable came up into the girl's mind—a wish that was the result of the truth that really lay buried in her heart. If she could only make him understand her position, if he could but just see Low utterly impossible it was for the woman to be to him what the child had been. There was a sharp struggle, and then she made a brave trial—a trial that needed a struggle in spite of all. “Do you recollect what I said t» you yesterday afternoon on the balcony, and what I repeated in the managers room f Nine years ago I was a child Mr. Seymour. Now I am a woman, , and because 1 wish to be more frank t with you than I am to others, I will , tell you again that I am afraid Kate , Dayenant is verj unlike the child , you loved so well." Carl looked down at her flushing j face with a carious awakening in her eyes, but he did not speak. , ■Do you know what the world sujv , ot me, Mr. Seymour ?” she went on. i "The world says I am a vain heartless , woman, caring for nothing but my , own triumphs. Perhaps the world is . right, though it may be somewhat , harsh. Still, you know a girlhood ( spent as mine has been, cannot make ( one very unworldly and single-heart-ed." ; She had looked very unlike the Circe , when she began to speak, but she look- ( ed wonderfully uniike her when, oom- j ing to the end of the last sentence, she bn ke forth again with the hot color ] flushing her cheeks, and her eyes full ( of vague bitterness. “I say it, because as you cared for ' the lonely, little Kathleen, so you , may perhaps, feel an interest in this other Kate, who is lovelier now than . ever she wa» then. Shall I tell you j why my auut took me up ? She took j me because I had a .pretty face ; she , took me because I was a bright, amus- , ing child, and my beauty was likely to ( make a belle of me. She took me be- { cause she thought I was a good specu- ( lationjust as her lions and lionesses , are —and she made of me what you ( see, a beauty, people te‘l us, and an elegant, worldly wise belle, according to society's report—Kate Davenant in short, and not the best you know by ( any means.” ( I repeat the conversation, reader to prove to you that this girl was not ( wholly heartless , to show you for her credit that she made one effort, if only one to save this man, and that it was hardly her fault if this effort failed. I also wish you to remember when you , read the history of its failure, that for ten tears Carl Seymour had loved her 1 however unconsciously ; that she had ’ held the place in his heart that aw-;, man will sometimes hold in the h.-j. - , and life of a man like him—in the heart of a man hard to rule, but con 1 quered utterly and wholly, when at I last he meets a ruling power. i He bent over her, and took both , her slender gloved hands in a grasp that was almost painful. “Y’ou ask me to remember what you ' have told me," he said with glowing ' eyes. “Remember what I have said to , you, K ithleen Mavourueen will be , Kathleen Mavourneen forever ’ So you are to me." Then her resolution broke down. 1 She had made such an effort as she ; was capable of and it had failed. Perhaps as she smiled up into carl Seymour's passionate face, her good an gel, folded its white wings and wept. She had not learned to be strong in truth, and alter the first struggle she gave her-self up, as she had given herself up before, to the current which carried her onward to another's undoing. When they returned to Bay View found a gay company gathered there. Mrs. Montgomery s eyebrows were uplifted a little, as the two sauntered in, the Circe’s eyes uplifted softly to her companion. Tom Griffith looked at Brandon and collapsed. The Sedator became majestically grave, and one or two of the fast men began to comment. “This is a new one, ain't it ? How new ? About aix weeks old. Poor . fellow."

Carl remained for the evening. Kate I chatted and laughed with all But Car! did not understand, nay, it was i impossible for him to understand the tr. i: that the gayety and carelessw-' had a touch of desperation in i‘not dream of the vague, p •>- • ••• .i-tiiiig that lay behind the . ■ . oid laughter, and :■ >us. almost mad emphasis that ' Kate Davenant to jest and mer- . ..•.. when tile heart that see med to - s . e.'.imiv tieiieath her trim bodice. was stung with blind regret. Once when he ap ike to her in » sort of forgetinine--, eailed her by the old name Kathiee . when he had said it he stopped and smiled at her carelessness. “For,.'- !' Ila said. “I forgot there era nine years behind ut. Am I

i very impertent ?" “No." she replied impulsively. "I like to In i it. I wish you would call me i’.uileen always. It is like nil up. u troubled waters, 1 * site added with a laugh that was almost bitter in its recklessness. Hitherto. Mrs. Davenant's flirtations had rejoiced in one peculiarity : their advance had been almost imperceptible, and one victim had hardly seemed more honored than another. But this evening the rule was broken, and Mr. Seymour's position attracted comment. The purple eyes seemed to turn t- , ward him as if unavoidably, the sw. -t face to answer his every expression. Alice Farnham had Toni Griffith all to herself, and Tom Brandon was left to mourn alone, while the Senator, the poor Senator, and the rest of the train could only etand aloof with a T nited expression of stolid misery and resigned despair. Wffin The company had separated, and va.ki bad.j*i>l»en his last Kathleen did not wait to hear h-r aunt’s eloquence, on her dangerous proclivities, but went up stairs to her room. “Please send me some strong coffee aunt,' she said. “I have a head ache. “You will kill yourself with strong coffee, Kate. It is a sort of intoxication with you.” Whereupon Kate shrugged her shoulders indifferently and smiled. After the strong coffee there were notes to be read, and replies to make—and Kate set to work upon them with uncalled for energy, and when they were done, she undressed and tried to sleep. But sleep would not come. The murmur of the distant sea came up to her meaningly, and made her restless ; and her thoughts kept her feverishly wide awake. At last she sprung im threw on a wrapper, and goins i.o -ue window looked out. The deserted grounds lay below, breathing up the perfume of the sleeping flowers and whispering under the night wind softly. Through the dark trees came a silvery shimmer of moonlight. 3h« watched it all in a dreamy silence for awhile, and then suddenly turned away and coming to the dressing-table opened a little jewel case, and took out a chain of sea shells, and a chain of gold and laid them by the side of the red camelia. It was a serious thing she was going to do, and might seem whimsical, but a great deal depended upon it.

“I will try once more," she said to herself. “Once more, and for the last time. If Fate guides my hand to the gold—so be it.” She retreated a few steps backward, then turned round with closed eyes, and stood still. She was smiling slightly and, perhaps, a little satirically, but her heart was beating, nevertheless, with a fierce, pained beat. Did she then care go much ? A half struggle, a step forward, her white hands fluttered over the curious omens of her future, and then descending, touched—what ? She turned her again, pailing and blushing. The spirit of flower and shells melted away, and a slight shiver passed over her. She had touched the gold. She laughed a short, strange, impatient laugh as she crushed shells and chain back into the case. “There were two chances against one," she whispered, sharply, “I suppose it is Fate I” (To be Continued.)

Dr. S. Gibbon, the medical officer of health for the Holborn district, in his report of the past year, states that, whatever may be the cause, there is no doubt that a jew's life in London is worth twice as many years as a Christian’s. The hebrews of the metropolis are notoriously exempt from tubercular and scrofulous taint. It is very rare that one meets with pulmonary consumption among them. The medical officer of one of their large schools has remarked that their children do not die in anything like the same ratio as Gentile children ; and in the district of whitechapel the medical officer of health has reported that on the north side of the High street, occupied by Jews the average death rate is 20 per 1,000, while on the south situ occupied by English and Irish the death raie is 43 per 1,000.

It is probable that the scheme 1 which was proposed first by Mr. Shaw 1 Lefevre, and which has been advocated by Mr. Bright, will form the basis of < the contemplated settlement of the ’ < Irish land question by the present En- | glish government. All landowners ready to sell will be given depentures bearing three per cent for their property. Their tenants will be charged four per cent during a tert* of years —■ three per cent, being to pay interest on the debentures, and one per cent to I act as the sinking fund, so that at the end of the term the land will become the property of the occupyex. In addition to this large tracts of waste lands r;iii be bought and let in lots of thirty or forty acres to peasants, and these lots will become the property of ' the peasants after a cer'ain number of 1 payments. Sir Arthur Helps was one day at dinner in a fine new house, and his i! friend who built th* house would have ! him regard especially the loftiness of the room they dined in. “Yes said ! Sir Arthur, “ir is indeed of fatal height; you may have conversation at your u ble, dear -but never, never free and : ( *nblo talk."

True Economy oi l.ite I The true economy of human life looks at ends rather than incidents, and adjusts expenditures to a moral scale of values. De Quincey pictures a woman sailing over the water, awakening out of sleep to find her necklace untied and one end hanging over the stream, while pearl after pearl dropps from the string beyond her reach ; while she clutches at the one just tailing, another drops beyond recovery. Our days drop one after another by our carelessness, like pearls from a string, as we sail the «ea of life. Prudence requires a wise husbanding of time to see that none of these golden coins are spent for nothing. The wtste of time is a more serious loss than the waste of extravagances against which there is such reclaim.

There are thousands who do nothing but lounge and carouse from morning till midnight—drones in the human hive, who consume and waste the honey that honest workers wear themselves out in making, and insult the day by their dissipation and debauch. There are leu thousand idle, frivolous creatures who are doing nothing but consume and waste and wear what honest hands accumulate, and incite others to live as useless and worthless lives as they do. Were every mas and woman an honest toiler, all would have an abundance and half of every day for recreation and culture. The expenditures of a few dollars in matters of taste is a small matter in comparison with the wasting of months and years by thousands who have every advantage society can offer and exact as a right every privilege it affords.

An agricultural paper tells “How to Dress a Hog.” We kuow how io dress a hog. Give him a cane, a stove-pipe hat and a pair of eye-glasses. After that he will try to pass for a man.

Miss Terry will assist Mr. Irving in the production of Tennyson's new play.
