DECATUR, ADAMS COUNTY. INDIANA, NOV. u, iSSo.

! EATHLBLH b- LOvE-bTO-lii. JtV THE AUTHOR OF "THE MODERN SIR LAI'NC LOT.” CHAPTER VI. ■What do you think of it ?” aiked Brandon, doubtfully Cupt. Loftus, wh,- was this young man's oracle, and was obliging enough to borrow his money and smoke his segars, held a glass of tine old Maderia to the light, and criticised its color with the air of a connoisseur. "How old are you, my hoy T" he asked. ‘■Twenty-two,”he said, with a little extra color on his honest fair face. """bought so,” moralized the captain. “At twenty-two I was guileless —it is a long time back though—but I got over that in the course of time though, a* you will. Now I understand arithmetic and experience teaches me that, in sensible people s eyes, Seymour’s talent and far off fortune won’t stand in exchange and Darter against the Circe. You have seen rare paintings in collections of art wearing the green ticket, haven't you ? 1 am not good at comparisons generally, but i never see such pictures without thinking of some ot' our belles. Kate Davenant was one of them, and her owner, (see her aunt) has mark id her at a higher price than Seymou can afford to give for years to conte ; and in years to co-.e tho gilt would be worn off the frame, and the picture might not be considered worth the prize. Comprenez vous en enfant ?’ The captain laughed. “A sentiment of two decades again. If Miss Davenant had been the susceptible Miss Brown, or the adorable Miss Smith, the tender passion might be a ruling consideration ; but Miss D iveuant is a wise woman -a woman of our world, which is not the world of Brown, Jones B and Robinson. Picture the Circe, anxious about the rise of mutton, and interested in the fall of beef. Imagine the woman, whom report says royalty has pronounced charmante, wi.h Vanity Fair in the back-ground, and domestic felicity in Blank street for the future. What a fall would be there. Oh ! my youthful countryman ! Miss Davenant knows better.” “Well, then,” exclaimed Brandon, reddening to the very roots of his blonde hair, “it’s—it’s a confounded shame she could lead him on so. I’ve been as spooney as any one myself, but lam not such a deep fellow as Seymour, and l snow I felt bad enough about it—and what will it be to him. Every one knows he loves the very dead leaves her teet have trodden upon. It has changed him altogether every picture he paints has some tint or expression that belongs to her. People say that Louize la Yalliere, with her face is a master-piece ; and there is one he calls Kathleen Mavourneeu, taken from that scene she acted in at the amateur concert, has got something in it that I am afraid to look at. By Jove !it makes me tremble. His very soul is laid hart in it.”

Loftus laughed a short, recklesslysounding laugh. "You haveut seen that sort ot thing before ?” he said. “I have. Wumeu don’t stand at broken hearts these days. A girl of the Davenant pattern made me what l am. Forty thousand a year bought her. 1 couldn't If i could I might have been a respectable pater familias, now, with some pretty little girls of my own to take care of and try to save from being put up at auction. Well, well, three score and ten is the end of it all and we live fast in this generation But lam sorry for you my boy. How did you manage to have your eyes opened ?” “ft wasn’t anything of a joke to me I cun tell you, ’ was the half sheepish reply. I knew I had no chanceagainst Seymour, but I told her the truth one night, because I could'nt help it. I think she was sorry for me. She said she was, and that I must forget it, and try to love a better woman.” “Tender-hearted creature !” sneered Loftus. “How terribly she must have suffered ! I wonder how many other fools—excuse me—have received like consolation. “Don’t speak like that, broke out poor Brandon. “I know I'm a tool, but I haven’t quite outlived it yet; and I can’t let any one sneer at her. My mother says ” (the good-natured youngster hadn't outlived his mother yet) “that good mothers make good daughters. Kate Davenant’s mother died when she was born. Loftus forgot to sr.cer again. Something of the heart that was geared twenty years back, was aroused in hioi as he laid his hand on the young man's shoulder’s. “You are a good-hearted fellow,” he said, with a new \v:> inffi on his face "And you outfit to 10. t better woman than Kate Davenant. Try to g t over it, and let me tell you one th,„ r r Try to keep your heart fresh, aud don’t live so that the time will come when you look hack and shudder, and look forward and see only six feet of earth and nothingness. That- is what my youth has led me to."

Wliat Brandon had said was true. Because he had loved no other woman, Carl - eymour had loved this Kate as no one had loved her before. A calm, haughty spirited man forgets himself entirely when he meets his destiny. Kati Pavenant was In* dignity. Every pie< ai he touched re Su sr uncoa seinusly inwrought charm mat belonged to her. One, her heavy, dark brown hair w ith its metalic sheen and sparks of firey gold ; another, her red, red lips ; another, the dark, loving purple of her eyes, and the exquisite touohiug smile. She had become an inspiration to him and the Clytie on the mantle had grown to their very soul. Here she knelt in the dun cloister of tiie Carmelite content as la Vaiiture,

o cu-ct m her war churl i < s (.ratio-* yi n Boadicc, with crowds 1 ■■ ;g■ -liaind, vtild-litead Tcenians -’ r ‘“i v. ih tierce hungry • yt>. People recognized the Guinevere. who knelt at Arthur's feet, her ■•oiling iressis trailing over her outstretched arm upon the marble floor, .ind the 'Court Lady, who held the cross before the dying soldier, won its hundreds because the man who bought it lo'ed ‘he ejcs tint lived upon it. Mrs. Montgomery had become dissatisfied, und Carl had learned to understand that a little indescribable coldness lay between himself and his former admirer. Kate let herself drift ou wherever the current carried her. She had grown hardened and careless to the pain and happiness that grew upon her day bv day She knew where it must all end, and only tried to delay what must come at last. Sometimes her bitterness struggled above all. and leaped out ; and sometimes the delicous draught she was drinking, for the first time in her life, was so sweet, so maddeningly sweet, that th' bitterness was overruled, and sh“ shut her heart to every remembrance of the unwo-. manly wrong she was doing. She came in upon her annt one day with some fairy-web sea weed iu her baud Her eyes were drooping and her lips curved softly in a curious, dreamy, absent mindedness. There was a little oat down in the bay that bore her •a i and for he last hour she had i iu the tiller and steered to Carl Seymour's rowing, as they floated in the golden mist that floated upon the waters there was sea and sky before, and the purple rocks and the world behind. And iu the lapses of d earning thought that came upon her, Kate had wished, that they might drift onward forever, arid lose themselves in the crimson and gold beyond. When she entered the parlor she was thinking of his face as he tiad looked at her in silence. Just what a man’s face will say sometimes to a woman, his face had said to her and perhaps she had answered him a little. She loved him. Sne had not hidden it from herstlf trout the first ; and once or twie# it was too much for her, aud the whole truth shimmered in the rose on her cheek, and the droop- ! ing of the white lids. He had not spo- ] ken, he had only rested upon his oars ' and let the boat dritt, as he watched j her averted face, and she could not ! forget—she thought she never could 1 forget—the faint, passionate trembling of the mouth that was usually so calm. Mrs. Montgomery looked up as she came in, with a cold inquiry in her manner. "Where have you been?” slt3 inquired. “Sailing with Mr. Seymour," answered Kate indifferently as she drew off her gloves. There was a silence for a few moments in which she laid the sea weed among the rest of her collection. As she turned to leave the room her aunt j spoke again. “When you have changed your dress > I wish you would coxe dowu stairs j again. I want to speak to you. .

Kite turned back with a calm smile. “1 can stay just as well now," sh" said. "What is it you wish to say? Heraunt stitehed at her embroidery energetically, and then looked up. “Kate,” she said, "I am going to say what I have said a thousand times before. You are going too far.”

Kate's eyebrows were uplifted nonchalantly, but she made no reply. ‘‘ln this ease,” proceeded the lady you are going too far for your own comfort, You are not sentimentally inclined by any means ; but you know as well as I do that this man is more to you than any other man has ever been. I don’t wonder at it either. He is a man a great deal above his position, and, of course, it is a pity ; but still you ought to know better than allow vourself to think of him seriously. Flowers, and poems, and pictures are ell very well, but a man can’t use his eyes and his brains, as this man lias been doing, without making some impression. He kissed your hand last , night. I saw him. And when you were waltzing together, you could no more have lifted your eye- to his face than you could have done anything impossible. You know what your position is, and you know—well you know- this sort of thing won't do. It would.be a hard matter to try to describe the various expressions that { passed over Kate Davenant’s countenance as she listened. First it was haughty defiance, then bitter scornfulness, and at last a coldness, 1 perfectly immobile. “Yes,” she said, “I know that this •sort of thing won’t do.’ 1 know my position as well as you lo tui un- | d< lotatid it as thoroughly. I know j what my life has fitted me for. and I know I must prepare myself for the ! future lying before uWe have tatkid of this before. 1 believe, and i ! , has a ways ended in the same king.

I said ho would meet us at Farnhams to-night.” Kate pa.ed slightly. "I did not know he had conic to Newport,” she said, “He arrived yesterday. Kate, how foolish you were to refuse that man. He is worth two millions." •“Was I?” said Kate “If Mr. Crozier had been worth fifty millions instead of two, you would have said I was very wise. But, perhaps, it is not too late yet,” and she laughed a short reckless laugh, that was a ii tie terrible. Her aunt did not say anything. She knew her fair niece well enough to understand that it was not best t« interfere with her in these moods. Kate went to her room in a curious frame of nlind, and sat down and looked matters in the face. That she loved Carl Seymour she knew, but her j love was uotlike his, it could not reconcile iter to all things for her sake. | Her experience had not been calculated to make ber understand that the time would come when sacrifice would be as nothing. A blind instinct gave her the tender, womanly thoughts that thrilled her. but the motives that had ruled her life held her hack with a cold hand. She was bitter and restive under her bondage, but she could not break it. She had laughed at sentiment since her girlhood, and for nine years had thought of notning but one ending to her belledoni, tor which her far-seeing relative had educated her. But wise as she was, Mrs. Montgomery had not foreseen this. She had felt no qualms of conscience and galling regret, there had been no for mastery between heart and head in her days, and so she only regarded Kate's impulses of rebellion, as symptoms of the "blues,” and eccordingly had felt no toneern. It did not occur to her that the ten innocently childish years could not fail to leave their traces behind. Those ten years had left traces. (To be Continued.) Polygamy aw an InveNtment. [U'nh Letter in Satirran hco chronicle.] We halted at a way-station for dinner. A white-haired but not very sanctimonious saint occupied the chair next to me. “A resident of the country ?” “Married?” Oh, yes; “Some.” “More than one wife ?” "[ think so. I’ve got a few scattered about here and t{tere.” "Believe in polygamy, I pre sume..?" “Certainly. I’d never have made a living if I hadn’t.” “How’s that 0 Well, you see, stranger, I used to think a good deal as you do. I had 160 acres of land and one wife, but didn’t make much headway. There was too much work for one man to attend to. Finally I froze to a second wife. She took her share of the bitrdeus like a perfect brick, aud affairs !

moved on in better shape. Then I got to thinking that if two wires were better than one, three would be better ! than two; consequently I took a third, and my affairs improved still more. I mapped out the business of the ranch aud gave No. 1 her part, and gave a| part to No. 2, and a part to No. 3, and took a part myself. Every thing ; went on like clorkwork. Our little j community was thoroughly organized, i Finally I concluded that a fourth wife j would be quite an advantage and I look- \ ed around and secured her. I found j that the more wives I had the more ; land I could work. I now operate 240 acres of one kind and another, and have six wifes to assist me, and I've things so systematized down that every thing goes on quite lovely, and 1 don’t have much to do myself, Polygamy is a great institution, my friend, ana you’ll never succeed in the world until you marry a few times. Sometimes one of my wives gets a little offish like, but instead of making a great row about it and getting a divorce, as you do in California. I simply stay away from her for a day or two, and then when I do happen nvouuu she smiles all over her face aud loves me in a desperate fashion. Oh, yes, I may marry several times before I die, and the more women l marry the richer I expect to get,” i This talk was by no means sophistry, as I afterward ascertained. A large portion of women of I'tah are slaves.

On ascending the platform he unbuckled his revolver and laid it on the table with the remark that he ‘‘kinder thawt concealed weapons warn t the right outfit for a Gospel preacher.” Ilis text was from Matthew XX.. 1 |to 15. He said: Partners, this text rites about a man who owned wineyards. As most of you are conversant with straight red licker and shafts, I will read mines and prospect notes’ instead of wineyards. "Thar was a sartin man who went out early one morning to get men to work on his claims. “And he seen two teiiderfeet, and he struck a bargain with them to work on a prospect fur $4 a day. “And lie went out again and seen j three miners standing by the Tontine saloon, and he said : ‘Ain’t you afraid of martial law ?

•‘Go ahead," said Bill. War that ere mine owner (continue! JJoc) a tenderfoot or a practical man?" "Hy ! hy ! hy !" shouted a score of voices. “Now, see hyar, pards,” said the preacher, ‘ you kinder got me.

Among the languages of civilized nations English is the most widespread. It is the mother tongue of about 80,000,000 people. Suicides are on the increase in France. The number in 1870 war 4,157; in 1872. 5,275: in 1874, 5,017; in 1870. 5,804; in 1878—to which only statistics have been made up—6,424. A great number of cases too are hushed up and never appear. A prize was offered for the mother who presented the greatest number of her own children at the Indiana State fair. Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Line were each accompanied to the fair by nine, hut Mrs. Line gave birth to a tenth on the grounds, and so took the prize. Two convicts have been discharged from the Ontario State prison, after serving two years, because of undoubted proof that they were innocent of the burglary of which a jury had found them guilty. The case against them rested on the perjured testimony of a policeman, whose motive was revenge. The monks of the order of St. Benedict who keep watch over the tombs of the founders of the Savoy dynasty at Hauteeombe, on Lake Bourget, in Savoy. are not to be disturbed by the recent decrees on religious corporations in France. The treaty of 1880 between Victor Emanuel and Napoleon 111. expressly exempted them from all French interference. Mendicancy is forbidden in Paris and the neighboring villages. But under various pretences it seems to be more prevalent than it has been known fora longtime. Some of the persons who beg in Paris have known better days, and are dainty in their language. A gentleman said to an outstretched palm “I have not a son about me." •Sir.’ exclaimed the worthy mendicant with a sneer, -I have not specified the species of coin."

The prosecution of the managers of the horses-agaiust-men race, in Chicago, has resulted in one being fined #SO; the rest are to be tried. The testimony in the case showed that the prisoner got a fine gelding into the contest, and forced him to go 525 miles in six days. Whip and spur were freely used, and toward the close hoys were stationed to prod the horses with sticks. Hi* legs and hack were terribly swoolen, and he tottered feebly as he walked.

Mrs. Crawford was known at Belvidere, 111., as Big Kate, on account of her great size and strength. She took a nine-year-old girl out of an orphan assylum to work, and soon accused her of stealing seven cents. The child was permitted to choose between confessing and getting whipped. She had not stolen the money, but she said that she had, in order to escape the punishment. Then she was commanded to tell where the cents were hidden, which of course she could not do. Big Kate whipped her three times a day for a week, at the end of which time the girl crawled off into the woods and died. The London Lancet says : “The man whaeats a regular number of meals daily, with a duly stimulated and organized habit, probably eats much •» more than his system requires, or the organs of digestion and assimilation are overworked, and hence, and doubt-

less, many as the most troublesome disease. A glance at any table showing the length of time which the commonest articles of food take to digest, will show that the fashionable stomach can scarcely ever be empty.” The Rev. Mr. Collins, a naturalist, twenty-five years resident in Ceylon, says that elephants there live about 130 years, and come of age about 40. There arc three sizes of them in the same herds, and when they are young the size that they will attain is pretty nearly known by the number of their toes. Those which grow to the largest size have eighteen toes, five on each of the two fore feet, and four on each of the hind ones. Those which grow t# to a medium size have seventeen toes, five on each fore feet, and four on one hind foot and three ou the other. The least size of elephant has sixteen toes, five on each fore foot and three on each hind one. No Singhalese elephant has a fewer number than sixteen toes. The mahout or elephant driver.rules his elephant with which he touches a most sensitive part behind the ear, which causes the most unruly elephant to become submissive. \\ hen Mr. Collins was in Kandy, an elephant which had killed its keeper, and which had been short in the head before it could be captured, had to undergo the operation of having the bullet extracted, which waa performed by the native doctors, tha elephant lyiug quietly down while the mahout kept his hook on the sensitive part. The elephant drivers are a drunken set of men, and, sometime*, wh !e drunk, will treat their charge unmercifully, and the elephant itself is an animal wliieh beats grudges—- * the re.-ult being that nearly all ele!'Hant drivers are sooner or later kill. ■ ed.
