4 DECISION.

Pnnctnal to bis fishing appointment with Kiity, Mr. Samsiu was oat in the early rning, waiting the pier.

Not a breath of wind was stirring the laiy mist lay asleep on the farther shore of the lake. Here and there only, the dim tops of the lis iose like shadows cast by the earth on the faint gray of the sky. Nearer at nd, the waters of the lake showed a gloomy surface no birds flew over the colorless calm no passing insects tempted the fish to rise. From time to time a last left leaf on the woodod shore dropped noiselessly and died. No vehicles passed aa yet on the lonely road no voices were audible

from

the village

slew and straight, wreaths of smoke stole their way out of the chimneys and lost their vapor in the vapory ssy. The one sound that disturbed the sullen repose of the morning wss the trump of tke lawyer's footsteps, as he paced up and down the pier. He thought of ndon and its ceaseless traffic, its roariug hi^h tide of life in action—and he said to himself, with the

stroDg

town-bred

conviction of a

man: Huw miserable this is!

A voice from the garden cheered him just as he reached the end of the pier lor the fiftieth time, and lvoked with fiftyfold intensity of dislike »t the dreary lake.

Theie stood Kitty behind the garden gate, with a fbhlLg rod each hit- A tio box was strapped on one side of her little bod}, aid basket on the othrr. Burdened wit£ tneae impediments, «he required assistance Susan had let.her out of the house and Samuel must now opeu the gale lor Her. She was pleased to obderye that the raw mormug bad reddened her friend's none and presented her o« uoee to notice aa exuioiliog peifect eyupathy in ibis respect. Fetliug a misplaced ooufiJei.Cd in Mr. 8drrasin'e ku .wledge and experitnee as an angler, eh».banded the flshi *-rod# to him "My hugera are cold, she »aid "you baik the hookt." He looked at his youug f/iend iiij silent perplexity she pointed to tne tin box. "Plenty of

And Samuel answered cordially: "Nothing I" lu five minutes more he found bimtelf by tbe si of his young friend—with hie hook baited, his line in the water, aud strict lujuitctious

fljat. i'j They began to fish. Kuty lookeu at her companion, and looked away again in silence. By way of encouraging her tQ talk, the good uatured lawyer alluded to what she had ffjrf when they parted overnight. "You wanted to ask me something," he reminded her, What is it-?"

MI Sarrasin'S professional experience of women and marriages failed supply him with an answer. In this difficulty he exerted his imagin«tiou and iuvented something that no woman ever did yet "She's waiting," he said, "to see how her marriaae succeeds before sbt tells anybody a out it."

This sounded probable to the nrnrt ot a child 'I hope sre hasn't married beaat," Kitty said, with a serious face and an omioous shake of her head. Wnen shall hear fomSydT"

Mr. Sarrssin tried another pievanca ttoiF^tritlrhettetJESbnlt this time. "You will be the first pets she writes, to, of oonne" As that excusable lie passed hie lips his float began to tremble. Here was a chance of changiug tbe subject CI vegot a fish I" he cried.

Without one preliminary word of warnjag to prepare him for the shock, Kittv an-werwd: "I want you to tell me what has tecome of papa, and why Syd hae gone away snd left me You know who Syd is, don't you?"

The one aliemaiiv® left to Mr. oartr'sin was to plead iguorance. Wnile

tiy was instructing him on tbe fubj of iveroeso, he bad tiuuf to consider what he should say to her next The result added one more to the lost oppor tuni-i- of Mr. Sarrssin'. 1 fe.

"Yoa might be mis taken, mightn't yon 1 sometimes fancy mamma and Sydney may b*ve had a quarrel Wonld you mind asking mamma if that's true?' the affectionate little creature said anxiously. "You see I can't help talking of Syd, I'm so fond of her and I do miss her so dread ful! evety now and then and I'm afrid—oh, dear, dear, I'm afraid I shall never see her again!'' She let her rod drop on the pier and put her littl hands over her face and burst out ciying.

Shocked »nd disMresjed, good Mr. Sarrssin ki sed her and consoled her, and told another excusable lie. Tiy to be comforted. Kitty I'm sure you will see her agaii..

His conscience reproached him be held out that false hope. It could never be. The one unpardonable sin, in the jadgtront of fallible human creatures like herself, was the sin that 8?dney Westerdeld had committed. Is there Something wrong in human nature? or something wrong in human laws? All that is best and noblest in us fe»ls the influence of love—and the rules of socis declare that an accident of position sh»ll decide whethei love is a virtue or a crime.

These thoughts were in the lawyers mind. They troubled and disheartened hiih. It was a relief rather than an interruption when he felt Kitty's hand on hie arm. She had dried her tears, with a child's happy facility in passing from one emotion to another, and was now as:onisbev\ and interested by a mar»ed change in ibe weather •'Look for the lake!" she cried. "You can't see it."

A dense white fog was closiSg round them. It- stealthy advance over tbe water h«d already begun to hide tbe boat hous* at the end of the pier from view. Tbe rtw colt of the atmospheie •made the child shiver. As Mr flarrazin took ber hand to lead her indoors, be turned and looked back at taint out line of tbe boat house, disappearing in tbe fog: Dj you see "anything? she asked.

He answered that Ihere was nothing to see, in the absent tone of a man buay with his own thoughts. They took the garden path, which led to the cottage. As they rescued tbe door he roused himself aud looked round again in the direction of t»e invisible lake., .r the boat houte of any uwi now he inquired Was there a boat in it, for in-tauc?" •'There was a capital boat, fit to go any where "And a man manage ii?" "To be sure! tbe gardener was the man be had been a sail once, and he knew the lake as well an—" Kitty stopped, at loss a comparison. "As well as you know your multiplication table," said Mr. Sarrssio, dropping his serious questions on a -iid deu. K'tty Bhook ht-r head. "Much bt-t'er." she honestly acknowledged.

Op iog the breakfast room door tbev saw Mrs Pr»sty makingci ff e. Kitty at tfnee retired. Whe.. she bad been fi -hinji, Ler grandmother inculcated habits ot order bv directing her to take the rods to piete-, "and to put away in their casea in the lumber room. While she was absent, Mr. Sarrasin profited by the opportuuiy, and asked i*. Mrs Linley b*d thought it over in the night, and had decided on applying for a diverce. "I know no hing about my daughter,' Mrs Presty answeed, "ex -ept th«t she had a bad night. Thinking, no doubt, over your advice," the uld lady added, with a mischievous smile.

Will you kinoly ii quire if Mrs. Lin ley hss made up ber mind yet? tne lawyer ventured to say. "Isn't that your business," Mrs. Presty sated, slyly. "8oppose you write a lit tie note and I will send up to her rooai." The worldly wisdom which prompud this suggestion cjntemplated a

possible

necessity jr calling a domes

tic council, aasembled to couaider the coarse of action which Mrs.Linley wou'd do well to adopt. If the influence of her mother was among the forms of per sua-ion which might be tried, that wary relative matiosuvred to make the lawyer speak .fi ntr and -so4a reserve to herself the advant g* of having the laat word.

Patient Mr S rrasin wrote the note. He modestly asktd for instructions, and he was content to receive them in one word—yes or no. In the event sf the answer being yes, he wouM a for a few minutes conversation with Mrs. Lnley, at her earliest convenience. That w*s ail.

Tbe reply wsa returned in a form which left yes to be ii feired: "I wi 1 re ceive you as soon as you have finished your tueakfast. _____ ,,

CHAPTER XXVIL EBsOLUTIOK.

Having read Mrs. Ltnley's answer, Mr Sarrasin looked out of the breakfastroom window and saw that the fog had reached the cottage. Before Mr« PreS'y could make any remark on the change in-the weatner, he surprised her by an extraotdinary qiestion. "Is there ah upper room here, ma'am, which has a view of the road before your front g*te?" p®? '•Yes." "And can I go into it without disturb' ing anybody?"

Mis. Presty said "certainly!" with aa uplifting of her ejebrowa, which exit aat •nmiisii with

suspicion. "Do yoa want op she added, "or will yon waif till yod have hsd yoar breakfast?" "I want togo np, if yon please, before the fog thickens Oh, Mrs. PrsrtJT, I ashamed to trouble yon! Let tbe servant show me tbe room."

No For the flist time in her life, Mrs. Presty insisted upon ingsri-vani duty. If she had Wen crippled in bolh lets, her curiosity woold wave helped her to get np the stairs on her band."There!" she said, opening tbe door the npper room, snd

actly in the middle'of it so that she could (^6 All uToand

This *vas easily done. Thev had both xeen the two men, wa'king b«ck ward and forw rd opoosite the front Jjut' of the cottage. Bef .re the snrroTinding fog made it impossible to ide tify hiui, Mr. Strmsin had r*cognis*i, in one of the nieo, his agreeshl fellow-traveller on the ourney frm London. T-he other man —a stranger—was in all probability an assistant spy obtained in he nt-ignbor-hood. This discovery sugg* serious embarrsssment in. tbe future. Mrs, Preoty ai-k-d what was to be done xt Mr. Sirrnsin answered: "Lst us have our breakfast."

In an another quarter of an hour they were both in Mrs. Linley's room. Her agitated manner, her reddened ey«-s, showed that she sis still suffering

under

the emotions of the past.^nighi. The mpment the lawyer showed himself, she crossed the room with hurried steps, nd took both his hands in her trembling grasp "You area good man, you area kind man," she said to him, wildly: "vou have mv truest r»spect and regard. Tell me, are you reslly—really—really sure that the one way in which I can keep my child with me is the way you mentioned last night

Mr. Sarrasin led her gently bsck to

^The sad chsnge in her startled and dissressed him. Sinoerely, solemnly even, he declared that the ona alternative that he had mentioned. He «-ntreatid her to control herself. It was useless she still h»ld him as if she wss holding to her l*st hope. "Listen to me I" she cried. "There a something more there's another chance for me. 1 must, and will, know what you think of it" "Wait a little. Pray wait a little. "Uoj not a moment. Is there any hope in appealing to the lawyer whom Mr. Linley has employed Let me go back ^ith you to London, I will persnide him to exert his influence—1_ will go down on my knees to him—I will never lesve him till I have won him over to

IB fs6t Mrs. Presty interfered for the first time.

And irost me," Mr. Sarr sin ssid fervently, "to see that justice is done, and to proiect y»« in the meanwhile

Mrs. Presty added her tribute of conilation After all," she asked, "what is there to terrify you in the prospect of a divrc*-? You won't hear what people say about it—foi we see no society now. And, as for the newspapers, keep them oa of the house."

Ms Linley answered with a momentary revival of energy. "It is not the fear of exposure that h.-s tortuied me." she said. "When I was left in tbe soli ude of the night, my heart turned to Kitty felt that sny sactifice of myself might be endured Lr her sake. It's the rememor*nce ot my marriage, Mr Sarrasin, that is the enible trial to me. Those whom God has .ined together, let no m^n put asunder, [a there nothing to terrify me in setting that solemn command at defiance? I do it—oh, I do it, in consenting to the divorce! I renounce the vows which I bound myself to respect in the piesence of God. I profane the remembrance of eight happy years, hallowed by true love. Ah, you needn't remind me of what my bnsband has done. I dox't forget how cruelly he has wronged me I don't forget that his own act has cast me from him. But whose act destroys our marriage? Mine 1 rniue I Forgive me mamma forgive me, m« dear friend—tne horror that I have myself force* its way to my lips.- N more ot it! My child is my one tressute left What must I do next? What must I sacrifice? Tell me—aud it shall be done. I submit! I submit I"

Delicately and merciful Mr. Sarrasin answered that aad appeal. Alt that bis knowledge, experience, and rfia dution mid suggest he addressed to Mrs. Presty. Mrs. -Linleyjcould listen or not listen, aa her own wishes inclined In the ne case or in thV other her interests would be equally well served. The good lawyer kissed her hand

To this reserve belongs me honor of having lately conceived and achieved an industrial and agricultural exhibition, open only to Indians, an experiment so novel iu its nature, and so jurprisin in its results, that it deserves more than the local attention it received at the time,

The lodians, being close imitators of their civil sed neigh* org, held their exhibition in a large field fenced round for tbe purpose, which was enter by orthodox arcbes of evergreen, surmounted by suitable inoitoes. In tbe center of the of the field an elevst^d pi'tform was er cted from which a f!ag-»tafi displayed the British standard in two shades yellow on a btsis of red. Aa instrumental baud of Ouoridigo Iodiai s, dressed in bine wiib white trimminss eded wih red, and white and red plumts in their hais, oc-npied this plat form, and from the most modem of musical ii ruinen produced combinations of sweet sounds, which might have claimed an older civil cation. The firing of a cinnon. pns nted to the reserve by Gaorge III, and the delivery of speeches in £uglisb. French and Iroquois intimated that the exhibition was formally opened to the pu die. Tbe scene was a ost 8rising one, suggestive at once of tbe psst and the future of these tribts.

The other male "with a thundering "woof!" gave a mighty spring and landed half way np the tree trunk, nearly shaking us from onr perch.

Everybody round the camp wanted t) let Sam 'tone when be had one of his sour spells, 'cause wheo his dander was up his fists wss thehandiit thing he had with him.

What I was a-gdin' to tell about Sam, though, happened 'bout this this time o' the year over in the lumber country M-'n S tm had a job gittin' out a lot o1 lugs, an' we atay'd over in tha woods a week at a time, eatin' »n' sleepin' in a shanty near the work. When we went to eat onr dinners one day we seen a bear skutkin' an' aniffin' arouad behind the shanty as if be was lookin' for authin' to eat. The minnte Sam seen im be said: 'Hold on, now, Hank 'If have seme fun with thst ftller if don't ruh away. He looked hungry an' cross, an' the sound of Ham's voice 'peared to make him mad, 'cause he slouched right over toward us, gratin' his tee hand bellerin fur authin' to eat Neither of oa had anything to hit the bear with, an' j-st ss I graObed a club an' was ready to whaca him on the topkoot 8am shouted: 'Keep back, Hank! I'll lay him ont in great shape if ye'll only leave him to me.' "So I hopped onto a stump an' waited to see what Stm was a-goia' to do When the bear got »ithin turee or four varda of 8m, Sam made motions at him with his fiots, as if iuviiin' him to s'ep np an' dtfend himself. The bssr licked bis chops an' got madder an' madder, an', as he come near, Sam bucked away, as if he was 'fraid of tbe bear. That' made the bear more anxious to see wbat kind o' stuff Sam was made of, aa' when Sam kept a backin' rouod an' round in a small circle the cussed brute fullered' him, seemin' to grow more an' more determined to git hu grab-hoots on Sam. But Sam kept his eyeb on Mr. Bear every second, doiu' all he could to bit bis temper up to the highest pitch. Sam let the bear git almoet onto him five or aix times, bat jes' ss the bear thought he was goin' to git a chance to give Sam a good tqueese Sam jumped back quick, an' the bear was madder'n ever fur bein' fooled. "Finally Sam cal'lated the bear wasbout mad'nough fur that time, an'so he stopped an' faced him. The bear got encouraged at this, an' pranced right up to Sam an' waa goin' to give him a good square hug fnr his mother, when Sam hauled effa few inches an' give the bear a gentle tap right on the point of his no-e It was a lipht blow fur Stm, but it sort o' made the bear wonder what kind of a feller Sam was anyway. The bear wa'n't aotisfied with what he'd got, and so he marched agin an' pnt out his arms embrace Sam As soon as he got near 'nough Sam let drive sg'in, an' when his big, hard fist landed on the bear's nose the 'tarnal beast staggered backward au' came down on all fount with a rjar that made the woods- ring.

"RALLY ROUND THE FLAG.'

Bow It Wae S-ina by the Slat Naw York M. Foit Harrlaen. 7 Oor. Rational Tribone.

I have no desire to enter into a disenssicn with comrades who participated in the assault and capture of Fort Harrison, aa to which regiment first planted its colors on the fort, bnt ssk the comrades to be cautious in miking special claims. My obj-ct is to narrate history that hat never been recorded by the historian. Tbe Eighty first New Yo'k belonged to the First Brigade, First Division, Eighteeuth corps, and in the ssanlt on Foi Harrison, September 29,1864, had t^e poet of hoi-or, ahd with other regiments went into the fort Which regiment first planted its colors on the fort 1 know not perhaps old General Marston can settle that point. But that the Eighty-first New York did show concaous orayery can be abown by gen. er»l orders complimenting it for g»lantr/, and ordering anew set of colors to be furnished it to take the plice of onr old banner, all battered and torn.

It will be remembered that the rebel troopa under G*nerl E*«ll made repeated aaaanlta— five I think—to recap lure the fort, and were repulsed with heavv lo«. After the last assault, wbeu tbe Eighty first boys were weilnigb ex hanated, amunition neajy gone, snd hope wcllmgh fled," Chauncey Bum mill commenced sioging that sou -iu "piring song, "B illy Bound the Flag. Boys." Oue after an ther joined m.t 1 he whole regiment, catchin the inspire tion, united in sioging those lines with an earneetneaa and determination thai words cannot expresa. Regiments to the right and left tmk up tb« refrain Even the colored troops caught the excitement aid added their vocal ahonts to those of tbe white troops.

This incident was talked over by the E ghty-fi-et boys at their reunion at Oswego Falls in September last Captain Ja nes Butler related his experience and bow he taUed with a rebel officer that was captured on tbe following day. The captain askdd him why they did not oinke another chsrge. The rebisl officer replied that they would, but you'unsgot reinforcements. "No, we did not get reinfojcemtnls," answered the captain.. "Oi, yes you ditJ," says Johnny E-b "we he*rd them coming up ainging and cheering."

Thus history can record that another sisaaul..was thwarted, and perhaps the recapture of tbe fort prevented by the feeble voice of Chauncey Rummill "first starting the song to divert the minds of his exhausted comradea from their fears of not being able to cope with the fresh veterans massing for another^ ass tult, as they believed, and to infuse new courage into their breasts.

The morniag was the succeesor of an eveniog in which thev had gone' to bed supperless, for the same reason that "Jack," of ancient fame, once did tbe ssme thing. What waa worse, the prospect for breakfast was hidden in deep obeenrity. Tbey sat for a time as a committee of ways and means, and were about to adjourn without arriving at sa'i-factory conclusions, when an Italian, with hand organ and a monkey, appeared in in the reet just outside their window. The monkey skipped about collecting pennies, and the huogry Bohemians stw bim and eotic«d him into tbe room through the window and ooolly proceeded to rob him. The ge tleman from Yucatan was exceedingly recalcitrant and chattered and kicked with much vehemence, but his aseai'ants were relentless.

The following is given aa an instance oi woman'a cru lty to woman: A respectahle young 1 id called at a boarding house on one of the principal street-' lew days since and asked to look at some rooms. Oa being asked, "Are you alone?" she replied, "Yes." "I have no rooms for lone women," said the iandiady, but she threw into the words si* mach of an I know you-are-an adventar* kind of atone that the young lady left, feeling qiiite crushed. Sbe bad noi gone far, however, before she resolved upon a plan for reVSnge. A week later, after arraying herself in a diflerent dress from the one she had worn on the previous occasion, and tying a thick veil over her face, she made her way to the boarding-house sgain, where she was asked tbe same question as on tbe previous visit Upon replying in the affirmative, she was met by the same unfeeling answer. Qu»ck aa a flash, the yonng lady retorted, aeemingly in great confusion: "Yo do not receive ei.her ladies or gentlemen alone 7 O—ah—I—I beg pardon 1 always hsd a horror ol stum bliog iato snch a place, but it seems that I have done it" Of course the land lady could not fail to understand tbe meaning intended, and surprise and rage chssed each other acrosa her tee, while the young lady left fetling that revenge is sweet, indeed.

LIFE.

As It Is Zloqaontly Peflned by Robert Ingeraoll. Born of love and hope, of ecstasy and pain, of agony and fear, of tears and jy—dowered with the wealth of two united hearts—held in happy arms, with lipb upon life's drifted font, blne-veioed and fair, where perfect peace finds perfect form—rocked by willing feet and wooed to shadowy shores of sleep by siren mother singidj soft and low—1

Hik

ing with Winder'* wide and startled eyes at common thi gs of life and daytaught by want snd wish and contact with the things that touch the dimpled fle»h of btbes—lured by light and fltme and charmed by color's wondrous robes —tearing the use of hands and feet, snd hy the love of mimicry beguiled to utter speech—releasing prisoned thoughts from crabbed and curious marks on toiled and tattered leaves—puuliog the brain with crooned Lumbers and their changing, tangled worth—and so through years of alternating day and nixht, umil tbe captive grows familiar with the chains aod walis and limitation of life.

Aod time ruos on in tun and shadei un'il the one of »li tbe world is wooed and won, aud sit the lore of 1 ve is taught and learned again. Again a home S built with the fair chamber wherein faiut dreaas, like cool and shadowy val's, divide the billowed hours of love. Again-the miracle of birih—tbe pain xnd y, the kiss welcome and the cradle song, drowning the drowsy p.attie of a babe.

And then the aense of obligation and of wrong—pi'y for those wb. toil and weep—tears for the imprisoned snd de8i.isid—love for the g.nerou* dead, and in the heart the rapture of high resolve.

And then'ambition wiiL its lift of pelf snd place and power, ln*it io put upon its breast distinction's worthless badge. Then keener thoughts of men,. and eyes that see behind the smiliug mask of craft— flat ered no more by the obsequious cringe of gain and gn-ed— Knowing the uselessness of boarded gold and honor bought from those who charge the usury of Jf-re=pect—of power that only bends a cownr .'s knees and rces from the lips of fear the lies of praise. Knowing at last the unstudied gesture of esteem, the reverent eyes made rich with honest thought, and lding high above sit things—high as hope's great throbhi star above the darknesB of the dead—the love of wife and child and friend.

Then lock4 of gray, and glowing love of other days and half-remembered* things—then holding withered bands of' those wbo first held hi*, while over dim and loving eyes deata Boftly presses down the lids of rest.

And so, locking in marriage vows his children's handu, and crossing others nn the breasts of peace, with daughters' babes upon his knees, the white hair mingling with the gold, he lurneys on from day to day to that horizon where the dusk is wailing for the night—sitting by the holy hearth of home, as the last embers change frcrm rei to gray, he falls asleep within the arms of her'he worshiped and adored, feeling upon. his pallid lips love's la-t and holiest kiss.

PRESIDENTIAL fc QUESTRIANS.

The* President', as a Rule, Were Fine Judgxe or Mor ell «H.

Zichary Taylor never looked so imposing as when he appeared on horseback. Jefferson was a fice judge of horseflesh and spent a good deal of his time in the saddle.

President Buchanan was frequently seen on borseba' k, and he owned a Bit of harness which cost $800.

Lincolu wss friendly to horstflesh and had several pets io his s'able. He always wore a high silk hat when he rode out.

President Tyler kept some good horses, but he rode in a second hand carriage, which waj the only thing bis friends had against him.

Dari' the latter part of his term President Arthur took horseback rides almost daily, an 1 luade a tracaful appearance in the sadlld.

General Grant is always associated with his horses, and his long experience io campaigning mtd* him thoroughly at home in the saddle.

It is said that a trip which a man once gave Andrew cks on a hose race saved that man's life when Jackson afterwafd became president.

JohnQiincy Ad was s- enthusiastic a lover of hori-eflesh that he never missed the race* which were h«ll near Washington while he was living at the capital.

President Harrison pranced to his inangurstion at the capital on a milk-white steed, in imitation of the man em-p-rors as they cavorted a on* the Appian way.

George Washington was so fond of his horses that he once g*v» a stable bov a flogging because he ne^b-cied to ruh his animal do*a after he had come iu wet from a bard gallop.

President eveland ha- never tried a saddle horse since he has been in Wtshington, and people say he is too heavy to sit well on a horse. His carri"ge team, however, is one of the most stylish at the capital.
