The observant girl saw he had something on his mind. She taxed him -with it, and asked him tenderly "what it was. "Oh, nothing,' said he. "IXmt tell me!" said she. "Mind, nothing escapes my eye. Come, tell me, oi we are not friends." "Oh, come, Mary. That is hard." "Sot in the leat. I take an interest In vou." wlIe?s you for saying so!" "And so, if you keep your troubles from me, wc are not friends, nor cousins." "Mary!" "Nor anything else." "Well, dear Mary, sooner than not be anything eWe to you I will tell you, and yet I don't like. Wf 11, then, if I must, it is that dear old wrong-headed father of mine. He wants me to main7 Julia Clifford." Mary turned pale directlv. "I guessed as much," said she. "AVell, she is young and beautiful and rich, and it is your duty to obey your father." -Uut I can't." "Oh yes, you can. if you try." "Hut I can't try." -Whv not?" "CariH you guess?" -No." "Wtill, then, I love another girl. As pposite to her as light is to darkness." Mary blushed and looked down.Complimentary to Julia," she said. "I pity Ler opposite, for Julia is a line, highminded jrirl." Ah, Mary, 3011 are too clever for me; of course I mean the opposite in appearance" As ugly as she is pretty?" "No; but she is a darkgirl.and I don't like dark girls. It was a dark girl that deceived me so heartlessly years ago." "Ah!" "And made me hate the whole sex." "Or only the brunettes?" "The whole lot." "Cousin Walter. I thank you in the name of that small company "Until I saw you, and you converted me in one day. "Only to the blondes?" "Only to one of them. My sweet Mary, the situation is serious. You, whose eye nothing escapes you must have eeen long ago how I love you." "Never mind what I have seen, Walter," said Mary, whose bosom was beginning to heave. "Very well," said Walter; "then I will tell you as if you didn't know it. I admired you at tirst sight; every time I was with you I admired you, and loved you more and more. It is my heaven to see you and to hear you speak. Whether you are grave or gay, saucy or tender, it is all one charm, one witchcraft. I want you for mv wife, and my child, and mv friend. Mary, my love, my darling, how could I marry any woman but you? and you, could you marry any man but me, to break the heart that beats only for you?" This and tin? voice of love, now ardent, now broken with emotion, were more than sweet, saucy Mary could trille with; her head drooped slowly upon his shoulder, and her arm went round his neck, and the tremor of her yielding frame and the tears of tenderness that llowed slowly from her fair eves told Walter Clifford without a wordthatshe ivas won. He had the sense not to nsk her for words. What wonts could be so eloquent as this? He just held her to his manly bosoia, and trembled with lovo and joy and triumph. She knew, too, that she had replied, and treated her own attitude like a sentence in rather a droll way. "But for all that? said she, "I don't mean to be a wicked girl if I can help. This is an age of wicked young ladies. I soon found that out in the newspapers; that and science are the two features. And I have made a solemn vow not to be one cf them" (query, a science oranaughty girl) making mischief between father and son." "No more you shall, dear," said Walter. "Leave it to me. We must be patient, and all will come right." "Oh, I'll be true to you, dear, if that is all," said Mary. "And if you would not mind justtemporizing a little, for my sake, who love you?" "Temporize!' said Mary, eagerly. "With all my heart. I'll temporize ml we are all dead and buried." "Oh, that will bo too long for me," said Walter." "Oh, never do things by halvej said the ready girl. If his tonjTue had been as prompt as hers, he might have said that "temporizing" was doing things by halves; but he let her have the last word. And perhaps he lost nothing, for she would have had that whether or no. So this day was another era In their love. Girls after a time are not content to see they are beloved; they must hear it too; and now Walter had spoken out like a man, and Mary had replied like a woman. They were happy, and walked band in hand .purring to one another, Instead of sparring any more. On his return home Walter found Jnlia marching swiftly and haughtily up and down upon the terrace of Clifford Hall, and he could not help admiring the haughty magnificence of her walk. The reason soon appeared. She was in a passion. She was always tall, but now she seemed lofty, and to combine the supple panther with the erect i)f acock in ner ireful march. Such a line woman as Julia really awes a man with her carriage at such a time. The poor soul thinks he sees before him the indignation of the just; when very likely it is only what in a man would be called petulance. An ything the matter, Miss Clifford? said he, obsequiously. "No, sir" (very sti&y). "Can I be of any service?" "No you cannot." And then, swifter than any weather-cock ever turned: "You are a good creature': why should I be rude to you? I ought to be ashamed ot myself. It lJM little wretch."

ou oui inena s liirnT'iy, what otber little wretch is thete about? We are all Grenadieia and May-poles in this house except him. Well, let him go. 1 dare say somebody else hum and Uncle Clifford has told me more than once I ought to look higher. I couldn't well look lower than live feet nothing. Ha! ha! ha! I told him so." "That was cruel." "Dont scold 7?:. I won't be lectured bv anv of you. Of course it was, cUar. Poor little Percy. Oh! oh! oh!" And after all this thunder there was a little rain, by a law that governs Atmosphere and Woman impartially. Seeing her softened, ana having his own reasons for wishing to keep Fitzroy to do his duty, Walter begged leave to mediate, if possible, and asked if she would do him the honor to conlide the

grievance to him. "Of course I will," said Julia. "He is ; angry with Colonel Clifford for not , wishing him to stay here, and Ik is an- . gry with me for not making Uncle Clif- . ford invite liim. As if I could! I should , le ashamed to proposo such a thing. ; The truth is, he is a luxurious little fel- J low, and my society out-of-doors does j not compensate him lor the cookery at the Dun Cow. There! let him go." "Hut I want him to stay." "Then that is verv kind of you." "Isn't it?" said Walter, slyly. "And I must make him stay somehow. Now tell rr.e. isn't he a little jealous?" "A little jealous! Why, he is eaten up with it; he is jH-trie ds jalousie." 4Then," saidA altertimidly, and hesitating at every word, "you can't le angry if I work on him a little. Would there be any great harm if I were to say that nobody can see you without admiring you; that I have always respected his rights, but that if he abandons them n Julia caught it in a moment. She blushed, and laughed heartily. "Oh. you good, sly Thing!" said she"; "and it is the truth, for 1 am as proud as he is vain, and if he does leave me I will turn round that moment and make you in love with me." Walter looked queer. This was a turn he had not counted on. "Do you think I couldn't, sir?" said she, sharply. "It is not for me to limit the power of beauty," said Walter, meekly "Say the power of flattery. I could cajole any man in the world if I chose." "Then vou are a dangerous creature, and I will make Fitzroy my shield. I'm olT to the Dun Cow." "You are a duck." slid this impetuous beauty. "So there!" She took him round the neck with both hands, and gave him a most delicious kiss. "Why, he must bo mad," replied the recipient, bluntly. She laughed at that, and he went straight to the Dun Cow. He found young Fitzroy sitting rather disconsolate, and opened his errand at once by asking him if it was true that they were to lose him. Percy replied stilflv that it was true. "What a pity!" said Walter. "I d--do!f t think I shall be m much m missed," said Percy, rather suddenly. "I know two people who will miss you." "I d don't know one." "Two, I assure you Miss Clifford and myself. Come. Mr. Fitzroy, I will not beat about the bush. I am afraid you are mortified, and I must say, justly mortified, at the coolness my father has shown to you. JJut I assure you that it is not from any disrespect to you personally." "Oh, indeed!" said Percy, ironically, "No; quite the reverse he is afraid of you." "That is a gg good joke." "No; let me explain. I at hers are curious people. If they are ever so disinterested in their general conduct, they are sure to be a little mercenary for their children. Now, you know, Miss Clifford is a beauty who would adorn Clifford Hall, and an heiress whose money would purchase certain properties that join ours. You understand?" "Yes " said the little man, starting up in great wrath. "I understand, and it's a bom inable. I th thought vou were my friend, and a m man of "h honor." "So I am, and that is why I warn vou in time. If you quarrel with Miss Clifford, and leave this place in a pet, just see what risks e both run, you and I. My father will be always at me, and I shall not be able to insist on your prior claim; he will say you have abandoned it. Julia will take the huff, and you know beautiful women will do strange things mad things when once pique enters their hearts. She might turn round and marry me." "You forget, sir, you are a man of honor." "Hut not a man of stone. Now, my dear Fitzroy, be reasonable. Suppose that peerless creature went in for female revenge; why, the first thing she would do would be to make me love her. whether I chose or no. She wouldn't give me a voice in the matter. She would flatter me: she would cajole me; she would transfix my too susceptible hearts with glances of fire and bewitching languor from those glorious eyes." "D d ! Ahem!" cried Percy, turnire green. Walter had no mercy. "I heard her say once she could mate any man love her if she chose." "So she could," said Percy, ruefully. She made me. I had an awful p p prejudice against her, but there was no resisting." "Then don't subject me to such atrial. Stick to her like a man." "So I will;b but it is a mm mortifying position. I'm a man of family. "We came in with the 0 Conquest, and are respected in our c county; and here I have to meet her on the sly. and live at the D Dun Cow." "Where the angine is wretched." "A b b bominablel" Having thus impregnated his mind with that soothing tentiment, jealousy. Walter told him he had a house to let on the estate quite a gentleman's house, only a little dilapidated, with a fine lawn, and garden, only neglected into a wilderness. "But all the Detter for you," said he. "You have plenty of money, and no occupation. Perhaps that is what leads to these little quarrels. It will amuse you to repair the crib and restore the lawn. Why, there is a brook runs through it itisn t every lawn has that and there used to be water-lilies floating, and peonies nodding down at them from the bank; a paradise. She adores flowers, you know. Why not rent that house from me? You will have constant occupation and amusement. You will become nival iUUtXlo nr ffoverror. Yon will

taKe tne snine out of mm airectiy; you have Onlv to give a ball, and then all the girls "will worship you, Julia Clifford especially, for she could dance the devil to a stand-still." Percy's eyes flashed. "When can I have the placeV" said he, eagerly. "In hall an hour. I'll draw you a three months' agreement. Got any paper? Of course not. Julia is so near. What are those? Playing-cards. What do you play? 'Patience,' all by yourself. No wonder you are quarrelsome! Nothing else to bestow your energy on." Percy denied this imputation. The cards were for pistol practice. He shot daily at the pips in the yard. "It is the bend Ennui that loads your pistols, and your temper too. Didn't I tell VOU SO?" alter then demanded the ace of diamonds, and on its face let him the house and premises on a repairing lease for three vears. rent ö a year; which was a good bargain for both parties, since Percy was sure to lay out a thousand pounds or two on the property, and to bind Julia more closely to him, who was worth her weight in gold ten times over. Walter had brought the keys with him, so he drove Percy over at once and gave him possession, and, to do the little fellow justice, the moisture of gratitude stood in his eyes when they parted. Waiter told Julia all about it that same night, and her eyes were eloquent too. The next day he had a walk with Mary Hartley, and told her all about it. She hung upon him, and gazed admiringly into his eyes all the time, and they parted happy lovers. Mr. Hart lev met her at the eate.

"Mary," said he. gravely, "who was that I saw you with just nowr"" "Cousin Walter." "I feared so. You are too much with him." Mary turned red and white by turns, but said nothing. Hartley went on: "You are a good child, and I have always trusted you. I am sure you mean no harm. Hut you must te more discreet. I have just heard that you and that j oung man are looked upon as engaged lovers. They say it is all over the village. Of course a father is the last to hear these things. Does Mrs. Kaston know of this?" "Oh yes, papa, and approves it." "Stupid old woman! She ought to be ashamed of herself." "Oh. papal" said Mary, in deep distress; "why, what objection can there be to Cousin Walter?" "None whatever as a cousin.but every objection to intimacy. Does he court you?" "Itlon't know, papa. I suppose he does." I)oes he seek your love?" "He does not shy so exactly." "Come, Mary, you have never deceived me. Does he love you?" "I am afraid he does: and if you reject him he will be very unhappy. And so shall I." "1 am truly sorry to hear it, Mary, for there are reasons why I cannot consent to an engagement between him and you." "What reasons, papa?" "It would not be proper to disclose my reasons; but I hope, Mary, that it will 1 e enough to say that Colonel Clifford has other views for his son, and I have other views for my daughter. Do you think a blessing will attend you or him if you defy both father.?" "No, no," said poor Marv. "We have been hasty ana very foolish. Hut. oh, apa, have vou not seen irom the first? why did you not warn me in time? Then I could have obeyed you easily. Now it will cost me the happiness of my life. We are very unfortunate. Poor Walter! He left nie so full of hope. What shall I do? what shall I do?" It was Mary Hartley's first grief. She thought all chance of happiness was gone loreer, and she wept ml Walter and herself. Hartley was not unmoved, but he could not change his nature. The sum he had obtained by a crime was dearer to him than all his more honest gains. He was kind oh the surface, but hard as marble. "Go to your room, my child," said he, "and try and compose yourself. I am not angry with vou. I ought to have watched you. Hut you are so young, and I trusted to that woman." Marv retired, sobbing, andhe sent for Mrs. aston. "Mrs. Easton," said he, "for the first time in all these years I have a fault to lind with you." "What is that, sir, if you please?" "Young ClilTord has been courting that child, and you have encouraged it." "Nay, sir," said the woman. "I have not done that. She never spoke to me, nor I to her." "Well, then, you never interfered." "No, sir; no more than you did." "Hecause I never observed it till today." How could I know that, sir? Evervbody else observed it. Mr. Hope would have been the first to see it, if he had been in your place." This sudden thrust made Hartley wince, and showed him he had a tougher customer to deal with than poor Mary. "You can't bear to be found fault with, Kaston," said he, craftily, "and I don't wonder at it, after fourteen years7 fidelitv to me." "1 take no credit for that," said the woman, doggedly. "I have been raid for it." "No doubt. Hut I don't always get the thing I pay for. Then let by-gones be by-gones; but just assist me now to cure the girl of this folly." "Sir." said the woman, firmly, "it is not folly; it is wisest and best for all; and I can't make up my mind to lift a finger against it." "Do you mean to defy me, then?" "No, sir. I don't want to go against you, nor vet against my own conscience, what's left on t. I have seen a prettv while that it must come to this, and 1 have written to my sister Sally. She keeps a small hotel at the lakes. She is ready to have me, and I'm not froo old to be useful toher. I'm worth my board. I'll go there this very day, if you please. I'm as true to you as I can be, sir. For I see by Miss Mary crying so you have spoken to her, and so now she is safe to come to me for comfort; and if she does, I shall take her part, you may be sure, for I love her like my own child." Here the dogged voice began to tremble; but she recovered herself, and told him she would go at once to ner sister Gilbert, that lived only ten miles off, and next day she would go to the little hotel at the lakes, and leave him to part two true lovers if he could and break both their hearts; she should wash her hands of iL

Hartley asked a monint to consider. "Shall we be friends still if you leave

me like that? Surely, after all these years, you will not tefi your sister? You will not betray me?" "Never, sir," said she. "What for? To bring those two together? Why, it would part them forever. I wonder at you, a gentleman, and in business all your life, yet you don't seem to see through the muddy water as I do that is only a plain woman." She then told him her clothes were nearly all packed, and she could start in an hour. "You shall have the break and the horses," said he, with great alacrity. Everything transpires quickly in a small house, and just as she had finished packing, in came Marvin violent distress. "What, is it true? Are you going to leave me. now my heart is broken? Oh, nurse! nursel This was too much even for stouthearted Nancy Easton. "Oh, my child! my child!" she cried, and sat down on her box sobbing violently. Mary enfolded in her arms, and then tney sat crying and rocking together. "Papa does not love me as I do him," sobbed Mary, turning bitter for the first time. "He breaks my heart, and sends you away the same day, for fear you should comfort me." "No, my dear," said Mrs.Easton;"yoH are wrong. He does not send me away; I go by my own wish." "Oh. nurse, you desert me! Then you don't know what has happened." "Oh yes, I do know all about it; and I'm leaving because I can't do what he wishes. You see it is this way, Miss Mary your father has been very good to me, and I am his debtor. I must not stay here and help you to thwart him that would be ungrateful and vet I coji't take his side against you. Master has got reasons why you shoqld not marry Waller Clifford, and " "He told me so himself," said Mary. "Ah, but he didn't tell you his reasons." "No." "No more must I. Hut, Miss Mary, I'll tell you this. I know his reasons well; his reasons why you should not marry Walter Clifford are my reasons why you should marry no other man." "On, nurse! oh vou "dear, good angel!" "So when friends differ like black ami white, 'tis best to part. I'm going to my sister Gilbert this afternoon, and to-morrow to my sister Sally, at her hotel." "Oh, nurse, must you? must you? I shall have not a friend to advise or console me till Mr. Hope comes back. Oh, I hope that woa't be long now." Mrs. Easton dropped her hands upon her knees and looked at Mary Hartley. "What. Miss Mary, would you go to Mr. Hope in such a matter as this? Surely you would not have the face?" "Not take mv breaking heart to Mr. Hope!" cried Mary, with a sudden flood of tears. "You might as well tell me not to lay my trouble before my God. pear, dear Mr. Hope, who saved my life in those deep waters, and then cried over me, darling dear! I think more of that than of his courage. Do you think I am blind? He loves me better than my own father does; and it is not a young man's love; it is an angel's. Not cry to him when I am in the deep waters of atlliction? I could not write of such a thing to him for blushing, but the moment he returns I shall find some way to let him know how happy I have been, how broken-hearted I am, and that papa has reasons against him, and they are your reasons for him, and that you are both afraid to let nte know these curious reasons me, the poor girl whose heart is being made a foot-ball of in this house. Oh! oh! oh!" "Don't cry. Miss Mary," said Nurse Easton. tenderly; "and pray don't excite yourself so. Why, I never saw you like this before." "Had I ever the same reason? You have only known the happy, thoughtless child. They have made a woman of me now, and my peace is gone. I mnst not defv my father, and I tcill not break poor Walter's heart the truest heart that ever beat. Not tell dear Mr. Hope? I'll tell him everything, if I'm cut in pieces for it." And her beautiful eyes flashed lightning through her tears. "Hum!" said Mrs. Easton, under her breath, and looking down at her own feet. "And pray what does -hum' mean?" asked Mary, fixing her eyes with prodigious keenness on the woman's face. "Well, I don't suppose "hum' means anything," said Mrs. Easton, still looking down. "Doesn't it?" said Mar'. "With such a face as that it means a volume. And lil make it my business to read that volume." "Hum!" "And Mr. Hope shall help me." :: To U Continued. A Coon Trap an! a Tree. Chicago Herald. John Hyatt, of Willvale, Ind., who has been a trapir for over forty years, recently found a s-teel trap which he had set twenty years ajo on the banks of tho Kankakee river near the crossing of the N ickel Plate railroad. lie remembers having set the trap, but does recollect having taken it away. It avas sprang and in it jnws were four claws of a coon's foot. A soft willow, on the roots of which it was set, had grown almost entirely around it.

Considering the number of meteoric stones which reach the earth's surface, it would not be surprising if many lives had lesn destroyed by them. It is stated that loss of life resulted from a large fall in Africa; that about tho year lüCO many persons and animals were killed; that in 1511, about 5 o'clock in evening, a priest was struck and killed; ani that still later, in 2650, a monk was killed. But ttee, according to Mr. James R. Gregory, seem to te the only in stance- recorded of death from falling me teorites. Anotner Stage Superstition. Chicago Times. 1 A -leading man of a new York theatre illustrated the hold which superstition still maintains on many who would be least suspected of the weakness. Going up to a minor actress who felt complimented to be addressed by the prominent actor, Le begged a favor. "Do not carry an open parasol on the stage. It is bad luck. The play will not succeed if you take on that parasol, I amsora." To oblige, the offending article was closed and the actor's fears calmed.

EVIDENCE OF CULTIVATION.

Orißinal.l To meet with an evidence of cultivation, away off somewhere in the woods, is almost as charming as the sudden discovery of a flower, lifting its p?rfumd petals in a waste place where only weeds were expected to grow. The day was dreary. Rain was falling. The leafless trees, rattling their still fingers together, shivered; while occasionally a rheumatic old oak, suffering his joints to shriek, would cry out in acute pain. A house lonely and humble, with a stark chimney and clapboard rxof, lut a house. "Coma in," said the whining, though not unpleasant, voice of a woman. "Git outcn the way, will you," she aJdcxI, thrusting the toe of a coarse shoe against the ribs of a dog. "It do 'peer Kke the dogs will take the place. Set down, sir." I sat down. The woman, while closely eyeing me, proceeded to twist up her tanglec black hair, which, in the semi gloom of th ill-lighted house, looked like the network ol an uncongenial night. "I reckon you air a stranger in this hen community C "Yes." "Out huntin' hogs, I reckon." "No, I am not hunting hogs." "It kain't I that you air tho new circuH rider, ken it f" "No,mada'n,I am merely traveling through this port of the country with a view of writing it up for a newspaper." "Wall, wall," she said in astonishment. ". man some time ergo put something in tt paper about our place. The paper is up hert now, I reckon." She tcok down the county paper and pointed to a iaragrap'a setting forth tho fact that her husband's land was aoout to I "fcould for taxes." "Where is your hutbandf I asked.

They were fairly happy before. Now they are po itively blissful, and the crown of an old hat did the whole business He had an old brown hat. He was fond of playing solitaire and the gaslight hurt his eyes. He took the old brown hat and cut the rim oaT and used it for a shade. She wanted something for Easter. Sha went down town shopping. She told me some of the thing the bougkt, but while I looked intelligent, she might as well Lave been repeating- the Choctaw alphabet for all I understood. One evening they were going out. She had on p new hat. i!ore extravagance," he said. "Another new hat and we are just married. Do giva me a chance to make up the wodd.ng expenses, won't youi" "We 1, it didn't cost much ani you know I must have something to wear." Oh, yes, that's always the way." She took out the rim cf the old brown hat and fitted on the new hat over its trimming I believe that's what tLey call it That was enough. He took her up in his arms and I think he's kissing her yet. The Lean Gin. Chicago Tribune. It seems to be admitted by all the fashionable authorit es that the lean girl raat go, socially speaking, and that tha fat giri's reign has 'crone. But none of them will deny that there are about the lean girl more good joints than her rival can show. Lincoln was in the homely and conventional, as well as in the truest and highest sense, a good fellow. His synirRilhies were quick and deep, his tact intuitive, and a genial instinct moved him t make his society as pleasant as he could. His originality showed itself at all times and in little things, and a quaint humor seemed to pervade every getture and every eipressioa of kisfaca.
