DECATUR, ADAMS COUNTY, INDIANA, DEC. i 6, 1880.

KATHLEEN’S LOVE-STO-RY. BY TIIE AUTHOR OF “THE MODERN SIR 1 UTNUI LOT.” CHAPTER XII. Once up stairs she found her hands full. Baby was there with Aunt Dorcas, fretting a little as he lay or her lap. Johnny and Clara seated them selves on their respective stools, anxious for the promised story; but Kate had been long enough in the Armadale household to feel a trifle anxious at baby's flushed face, and faint little grunts of disapproval. ,L WI at is the matter with him ?" she asked aunt Dorea3. “I hope he isn’t sick aunty ?” The old woman shook her head. “I’m afeard he ain’t well, honey,” she said. “He’s bin sorter gruntin'all day. Mebbe lie’s only missin' bis mar.” Kate held out her hands. ‘•Let me have him,” she said, with a faint st use of discomfort. “1 hope he won’t be sick while Jlrs. Armadale is away.” She felt uneasy, and she could hardly hide it. What if anything should happen ! She held baby closer in her arms, and beet and kissed its little face. Bhe looked wonderfully like Barbara about her tender mouth an<J anxious eyes as she did it. She had always loved the children, in her hit.erest moments, and it seemed so natural for her heart to warm with the soft cheeks nestling against it. The children had their story and after it came to its natural ending, where the youngest brother did all the impossible things, and married the obliging princess, with the convenient father and three kingdoms she sent them to bed. Aunt Doreas went with them. Kate was left to herself, seated on Barbara's rocking-chair, with Barbara s baby on her lap. She hardly knew what she was thinking of as she rocked to and fro, and sung one of Barbara’s pretty littlesongs.it) her law, clear v ice — the voice that had brought showers of i flowers to her feet in by gone days. But, at any rate, she was thinking deeply, for her eyes were fixed dreamily on the fire, and she did not hear the quick footstep coming up the stairs .'here was a footstep, and just by the open door it stopped a moment, and Carl Seymour drew his breath lightly as he looked in. What was there of I good or evil, in this girl, that she could s’ing him with her cool indifference and bitter pride, and then come among these innocent children and teach them to love her as if she was as innocent as themselves? And hold the white souled baby in her arms and sing tender songs to it with that tender smile on her lips? And then a wild thought leaped up. What if the past had beeu only a dream ! What if God and Heaven (for it seemed as if God and Heaven were near to the tender vision) had but given him the right to call this girl wife, and to enter the little room and kiss her sweet face, and hold her white hands and : draw her head u on his shoulder, feel ing at rest, and better and stronger for lovingness ! Ah ! how his heart beat as he remembered how lar apart they ; were, and how they were to live thi ir lives away from each other and unforgiven. But when she cam- to the end of her little song he turned away. It sdbrned as if there was h spell upon them that night, or that fate had ordered that the sea of memory should be stirred, for once again their acted patt was broken in upon.

Baby had fallen asleep, and after laying him in the cradle, Kate had left him to aunt Dorcas, and gone down stairs to give some directions to the ! servants. Having done what she wished, she intended retiring f*r the night ; but ! on reaching the head of the stairs, she j found that the s rvants had neglected j to lower the lights of a large swinging ! lamp which had its place there. It ! must be attended to, and balancing herself upon one foot, she reached over the balustrade to touch it. She heard some one close tbe parlordoor as she did so. and glancing down caught fight of Carl coming up toward her. Perhaps it was her eoufusj ion, perhaps the light dazzled her ! but at least slie could not see well, and 1 her band was unsteady. He was only a few steps below her, and in an impatient impulse she bent further over, lost her balance, and then her foot slipped, and but that he bad caught her in bis arms she would have fallen down the whole flight. As it was his arm closed strongly round her waist, and for a moment she rested upon li is breast, crimson with mortification The next instant be had released her. and she stood upon the step feeling almost indignant, and, in spite of he--self, trembling from head to foot, and showing h*r confusion terribly. Far

j him, he was the calmest of the two, but his face was perfectly colorless, and his voice sounded almost unnatural when he spoke to her. “I hope you are not hurt!” he said. “It was fortunate I happened to come when I did. She could hardly answer him. It seemed so horrible to her. Her cheek had touched his as she fell. And this man had loved her once and now hated her ! “No,” she said, “I am not hurt. Thank you!’’and before lie had time to speak she had turned and gone swiftly up the stairs again, hardly knowing what she did.

Her cheeks were hot, scarlet, when she locked her door, and went to the mirror to look at herself and her mouth was trembling like a child’s. She almost clenched her hand in her passion of humiliation. She could not control herself, and after the first glance she dropped her face upon her hands. “Oh ! I am a coward !' she said passionately, “Oh ! what a pitiful coward 1 am. What is this I am learning ? What have I done?” Kate dressed herself very slowly, the in xt morning, and sto.d n long time at the mirror, before she could decide to go down to the breakfast room at all. Not that she wits anxious about her toilet, but that she wished to put off the evil hour as long as possible, if not forever. The bell had rung for the second time. Even then a sudden recollection caused her to turn back to the dressing table. There had been a slender chain around her neek the night before, suspending a little Gothic cross of onyx and gold, and it had suddenly struck her that she had not seen it since she dressed. She could not recollect having taken it off and it certainly was not on the toilet stand. Perhaps it had dropped upon the floor. She bent down and looked for it but to no avail, it was not to be found. Her grandmother had given her the cross the day she left with Mrs Montgomery, and had told her that : t was her father's gift to her dtserted mother. She had worn it often in the Newport days, aud once she had told Carl Seymour it's story, and he had .asked her if the mother’s true heart had askc<| her if the mother’s true heart had descended to her danghter. It might possibly have slipped from its clasp as she fell, and he might have picked it. up. That was the only way in which she could account for its absence, and she by no means liked the idea of recalling the scene to his miud by questioning him. Surely if lie had seen it, he would restore it without being asked. Giving up tbe search as useless, she went down to the nursery for Clara and Johnny, who were waiting for her to take them to the breakfast room. Aunt Dorcas, who was crooning over baby, looked up somewhat anxiously as she entered. Baby was lying quite still, bis tiny face flushed with hot red, which Kate knew was Mrs. Armadale’s special horror, and she felt a nervous thrill as she noted the dark rings j around his eyes, and the heavy sleep j he seemed to have fallen into. “Is he worse ?” she asked, quickly. “How did he sleep, Aunt Dorcas ?” ‘•Mighty badly, Miss Kate, honey. He’s jest dropped off for the first time since twelve last night, and mebbe it will help him. Sleep does a power o' good to chil'en." Mrs. Armadale surely never looked i more anxious than her governess did as she stooped ovei the little one, and I touched its hot cheek with her white

fore-finger. It was just pretty Barbara's way, and there was just pretty Barbara's thoughtfulness in her softcnoa eyes. ‘■Well, she said, when she raised her head. "I must go down to breakfast now, but if baby is no better soon, I shall send f the doctor.'’ She marshaled the children into the parlor, talking to them gayly ; but for all that she found it no easy matter to* say her good-morning. Her face j colored high, in spie of herself, and her hand positively shook as she poured out the first cup of coffee. For awhile she and Carl had exchanged ; places, for though he was a shade paler than usual, he was quite collected. •We may expect a letter from Bar- : bara to-day 1 suppose," he said, with a i smile. “When she is away 1 am ali ways compelled to issue bulletins from ! the nursery, on pain of seeing her worn to a skeleton by the time Aif i brings her home.” Kate was not quite sure but that j she felt grateful to him for his non-c-l.alance.

j had finished her sentence, she found herself coloring again, for he was smiling. With bis recollection of the j Circe of Newport, with her train of celebrities, and her butterfly life, it seemed so odd to see her sitting there, in her quiet dress, and with her mermaiden’s hair knotted in the plain school room fashion. A novel position for the Ciree, surely, this of nurse and consoler, and deputy mamma. He was sorry to hear it, he said to her. She must not allow herself to be frightened ; but if she thought it necessary, he would send for the family physician. “Thank you. I will wait until evening,” she answer'd. “If I still feel doubtful then, I will let you know.” She was glad when the meal was over and she found Tierself rising from the table. But before she left the room, a servant came in to remove the breakfast things, and Kate thought there could hardly be a better tune for speaking of her lost ornament, and so mentioned it. *T had it last night,” she said, addressing the servant, “I might have dropped it upon the stairs.” But the girl had not seen it, and Mr. Seymour said nothing, only when first she spoke, Kate observed that he raised his eyes from the paper he was reading. However, she gained no in formation, and so must fain go up stairs, and leave the cross to it its fate. What a dull day that was ! The sky was dull, tbe house was dull, the children were dull, and Kate herselt was in a perfect fit of blues. The lessons did not make any progress at all. Johnny’s head ached, he said, and poor j Clara looked pale. Before the morning had half passed, Kate closed the books. “We won’t try any more to-day, children,” she said. “We must cure ! tliaß headache*, and, perhaps, we had j better go ancUook at baby.” It was not often that Johnny complained, for he is a wonderfully patient child, but to-day his habitual sage stolidity seemed to have given way, and when be reached the nursery

he began to cry. Twelve months ago, Kate would have consigned him to the care of his attendant, and gone down stairs to the parlor, with a lady-like sense of annoyance. but now Barbara’s responsibility seemed to have decided upon her shoulder’s, and she exerted herself to her utmost in the matter of consoling. She took Johnny upon her knee and told him the always available stories, she sung a little song for him she built a bark house on the hearth, and gravely related the history of its supposed oeeupants. But though the tears stopped, Johnny was not himself. He could not be moved to laughter, even at the adventures of Jack the Giant Killer. He only sat still and listened, resting his head upon his hand, and now and then closing his eyes heavily. As she watched him Kate began to feel nervous, and at last she was positively frightened, far as she ended her story he fell into a deep unnatural slumber upon her arm. She laid her hand against his cheek, and found it burning hot, and there was the same scarlet color on the skin which had alarmed her in baby.

“Aunt Dorcas,” she said quietly, “I . will go down stairs and speak to Mr ] Seymour about sending for the doctor. , I am afraid these children are going j, to bo ill." i | There was a little decisive click in the tnar.uer of shutting the door Viehind her as she left the room. She * was thinking how much oftener Fate j was going to compel her to put herself j in Carl Seymour's way. “From beggar to heiress, and from! heiress to beggar !” she said a thought bitterly. “And now lam mistress of | ; a household, and sick nurse in pros- • ! pective What next ?” And then she tapped at the studio i door, and a voice answered her sum-

mons with “come in. Since morning Carl had been shut up in his room working fiercely. The door opened and be felt no little surprise at the sight of the slender blackrobed figure, of the screnc-eycd young lady, who stood quietly on the threshold, one slim, soft looking hand resting ■ upon the handle. “I beg pardon for disturbing yon. she said gravely ; “but I thought I! ought to come and tell you that Johni nv is not well, and baby is no better, ! and I should like to see the doctor.” At any rate, sho did not commit * herself in saying this lesson, for the ; purple-irised eyes met his gaze j j without a quiver of their fringes He rose from his chair at once. I will see Dr. Chaloner myself," he ; said. “I am sorry to hear this ! My sister will be so anxious. Is the re anything I can do for you, while I am j out Miss Davenant ?’’ j Nothing, slit said with a cold bow I of thanks, and after a few more civil 1 words she left him as quietly as she l had come. fTn ?>*>

“Ot.O FUHEK.” ! The liiml <«< Mi‘» Who ra««i> «i«u* Women. A curious study is the consideration of the'kind of men who fascinate women. I have known a man, a fellow with the head and hair of a tramp, and the dress of a doctor with a lean practice, a person who wriggled like a snake when he walked and had a clammy hand, yet this person was a perfect woman-killer, fine girl was betrothed to him for three years, and then he jilted her coldly for a new flame. The new love affair ended with a tragedy, for when in turn he shook the new love off, the restless, grief-stricken girl ended her troubles forever in a neighboring river. There were other women who loved the fellow almost as desperately, although they consoled themselves more easily. What they could ever see in the man to fall in love with passeth understanding. There was another great lady-killer, too, who seemed to melt women’s hearts as a hot roll melts butter. He promised to be one of the great men of the country, and women bowed dowu and worshipped his supposed intelleotnal powers. There were five romantic school-girls in love with him at once, if 1 remember. Friends, relations and enemies alike prophesied a future of extraordinary brilliancy for him, and he could have had his “pick and steal’ of all the young ladies in the country. Well, a man who was to stand upon the topmost pinnacle of intellectual greatness is now a schoolmaster, and a second rate one at that, with an insignificant wife, who is the merest stick-in-the-mud. Probably he thinks about | his old flames. Still a third great woman-killer comes into my mind. I don’t know how many women were in love with ! him at once, and I don't know again j what under heaven the; could discover | about the man that wa- so fascinating. | but fascinate them he <’ ; d, desperately. Two ladies I know ha? remained single for the sake of him . this day, and it is worth while to notice in them the effect a “disappointment” has on different people. One of the young women has became a cynical, spiteful old maid, who is not a pleasant person to live with, and has not anything very pleasant person to live with, and has not anything very pleasant either to look forward or backward to in her life. The other’s name you v ould know if I told I J , i you, though she lives many a hundred miles away. She must have had great j trouble, but if she had she locked it all! I up in a hidden closet and threw the key away. Then, curiously, all the intellectual life of the woman was roused up and quickened suddenly, so that the things came about with her exactly as in Mrs. Southworth’s novels, and this old maid is now one of the most distinguished women of the country. In America and in England she is beginning to be known as one of the most eloquent and intellectual women of our time. But she will never marry anybody probably. % That is what the two women are. The man they vowed so desperately is, alas! simply a common place fat man. lie has a shiny ba'd head, a purple nose, and great, greasy, fat jaws and $200,(.00 in United States bonds. He married that and married it of

purpose—a 6riinjr windup to aj man who talked more love and 1 romance to woman than ten men ordinarialy do. He cares more for a • good dinner than he does for any woman now, however, and he is-just common place and fat—so fat. that the fat seems to have struck in and got into his brains. What a man that was to break one's heart over and stay an old I maid for! What a redieuious idea it I is to be wasting one s life in unrequit|ed love for a fat man ! Ugh ! A disappointment of the affections, i after all, though, is really about the i | most serious thing that can happen to j anybody who is young. It changes ; one's life many a time. That middle-

I aged and elderly people don’t have more sympathy for such sorrows is no j credit to them--not a bit. There is a mortal hurt in them which young peo- ; pie of strong character never get over, entirely. Where they do mind it at all too. I fancy men take such things to | heart more than women. Wherever! j old bade lors seem a little queer, and unlike other people, it is usually the ; : ease that they believe, whether it is true or not, that they have missed the highest good of their lives, and missed it through some woman. It is said that l’hoebe Cary never had any old flames nr now ones, and never eared for any man. It must be a mistake. There must have been an i old flame somewhere, or she could never have written these little verses : “ALAS! ' , ‘■Sinse, if you stool bv my si la to-day. Da y our b inds could meet.

It would be j a horrible world if all the hearts which have been broken stayed broken. It is a blessed thing that they can be consoled by somebody else, and that the kindly hand of Father Time at last magnetizes away all the heart-aches of young people, and leaves behind only the gentle memory of old flames. Still they never seen oxactly like the rest of the world again, l'eofd* remember their old flames oftner and more tenderly than they do other folks. They dream of them at uigbt, and dream of them in day time, some time, some time too, and wonder bow it would look to meet their old flames altogether again. Undoubtedly it is true. So let us keep green the gentle memory of all old flames, wherever they may be. Krtiiratlonal. Boot Township. Dec, 1880. Fellow Teachers: As I have not noticed any thing in the column* es the Democrat this winter touching on education. I would suggest that we begin at ou.-e and give his or her method of imparting knowledge. And as the dearest interests of our oommunity are entrusted to the teacher, we shonld leave nothing undone that would be advantageous to the pupils, or to the promotion of education. No more important charge is entrusted to any person in public or private station. Not only every parent, but every property holder, and every citizen of whatever sex or condition, is directly and deeply concerned in the matter. And we, as teachers, should do all in our power to make teaching a success, and make the school room attractive to the pupils. In my limited experience of about fifty four mouths teaching, 1 find that the best plan, first of all is, to study the child's disposition, and next, ite capacities. Some children have great verbal memories, others have not . Some minds devclope early, others late. Some have great power of acquiring, others of originating. Some may appear stupid, because their true spring of character has never been touched, and a teacher might as well scold a child for being crippled, as for being naturally dull. The dunce of a school may turn oat, in the end, the living, progressiva, won-der-working genius of the age. In order to exert the best spiritual influence we must understand the spirit upon which to exert that influence : for, with the human mind, we must work with nature, and not against it. Like the leaf of the nettle, if touched one way, it stings like a wasp : if the other, it is softer than satin. If we want to do justice to the human mind, we must find its peculiar characteristics, and adapt ourselves to individual waste. One pupil may study diligently daring a whole term of school, and make but little progress iu Mathematics, while grammar may be so easy to him, that it will require but little effort on hi* part, to stand at the head of his class. I belive, that if we as teachers would study the nature and capacities of our scholars more than we do, we would not only accomplish more good byway of advancing them in their studies, but they would be more regular in attendance, and the school room would be te them a pleasant and attractive plate.
