From A MAIDEN'S STJSATAGIM. Mr. Gmcey stootl before the fire and poked the glowing cols vigorously. Whon he was vexed he always did that by way, I supposo, of satisfying his tlosiro to strike whoever lie happened to be vexud with. This time it was hie pretty daughter Anna who was making her shining knitting-needles fly faster than her father did the poker, while her bright brown eyoa gas cm I somewhat defiantly at the form of her father as he stooped over the fire, and her pretty red mouth waa compressed with a determined expression. Mr. Graccy's head was shocky and sandy now, but if one bad seen hle portrait as a young man it wottld have shown a dark auburn which lay in waves, like Anna's own, and in the face a strong' resemblance to hors. She resembled him in his strong will, too, and their opinions crashed oftoner than was ouite agreeable to the gentle mother, who wanted every thing to go on so smoothly. This time it was Annals beau -indeed, her accepted lover, w1k had once had the father's consentwho was tho cause of the trouble. There was a dance over at AVwtfieltl Corners, as it was called, ami Anna was determined to go with her lover, Richard Landon, and her father was determined she should go with a city cousin w1m was visiting tliem, in their own carriage. And if he could have seen a letter from Richard, which was snugly hidden in Anna's pocket, he might have Ijeen more determined than ho was. ' Father, you never once objected to Richard till you had that dispute with his father about the land," said Anna. "Maybe not," replied Gracoy, straightening up Install figure; " but I've vowed sinew to have nothing to do with tho whole set of Landons. Like father, like son. Nobody knows how Kieliaiil'M going to turn out. I've made up my mind I won't have him poking round here any longer." "Rut, fatluM', we ad your consent once." "Don't care if you did, I take it back, that's alh Now, there's your Cotnrin Tom wants you its bad as Richard doc.!; why uaii'tyou lake him, like a sensible girl, and be satisfied?" "Father, nolKHly thinks much of Thome Wilby but yon. I don't believe

half the tale he tells about being to we41 oft". I sever will marry him, 1 tell you," "We'll see about that. As to this dance to-night, you can either let Tom drive you over, or you stay at home." It was oh Anna's lins to say she Would stav at home ; but Richard's plans and pleadings spoke for him. I'd rather go with my cousin than stay at home," she said quietly. Very well, then, you can go," said the father. Anna turned and left tho room, but there was something in hor air all the tuorninft which made the old gentleman very suspicious, So at dinner he remarked : " I believe I'll rido over to tho Corners and see the young people frolic tonight. I reckon thuy won't turn me out if I don't dance myself, and I have not seen a young folks' party those twenty years. Yes, I think I'll saddle old Aleck and rido over." "Do, uuelo! That will bo jolly!" said Thomas Wilby, whilo into Anna's face there stole a look of blank consternation, which did not escapo Mr.Gracoy, and he slyly chuckled to himself: "Aha! reckon I've snatched 'em this time!" But Anna's wits were busy, too, whilo

she was helping Iter mother wash tho dinner dishes. Suddenly, as they stood putting away the last sliming tins in tho tidy pantry, Anna caught hermothorby mo shoulders, ami saul : " Mother, I have your consent to marry Richard?" "Yes, dear daughter. Richard is U'ortliv win I'nnu' " "And you don't want to see mo marry Cousin Uiomasr" "Oh, Anna, I had rather soo you " well, my aoar littio mother, l don't think I'll die, and I know I won't marry cousin. But now, mother, I'll tell you a sfMrt. T pan trust, vnn'" " Yes, Anna." " Well, dear, Kichard wrote to mo to meet him at the dance to-night. Then we would slip away, go over to Westfield and get married to-morrow morning. What flo fnii iuv iiinJlmr- llMlrP,' x ho good little woman began to cry, but she said : "Do as you please, Anna; I can't blame you. ou. The life your father leads pretty hard, I know. But, oh, you is I have another count your consent, dear, and a good word with father afterwanls." " Yes, yes!" sobbed the mother. " That's a dear, good mother," Anna, kissing her. "Don't thii said think I don't appreciate your sacrifice, for I do. And after all's done I'm sure father has too much sense not to make the best of " I'll do my best for you, dear." " I know you will, mother! I won't

But meet me at "Willis's Halfway Ifou.e about 8 o'elook with a fast horne and carriage. Don't be astonished if I come alone, but only be ready for me tuiok. Anna. And her messenger brought hor lover's answer, written hastily upon a scrap of her own note, and simply saying-All right, and alt ready. Hiciiakd. Anna was dressed and in good spirits when her father rodo away at night, and very soon Thomas drove the light Wagon round to the door and helped her j to tier scat, nuite dclichted with her gracious friendliness,for his Cousin Anna was not always ready to show him much favor. It was aglorious moonlight night,every leaf and twig showing attains t the white snow. They rode gayly alon? for a mile or two, and Anna took special pains to make horsolf agreeable, until she thought it was about time to set her plan work-! ... r. . , .1 ...... . . 1 1 t.t. ing. budaeniy, on pretense or arranging the rug, Anna stooped over and dexterously dropped her muff into the snow. She gave a slight scream. "OHI I 've dropped my rautV, and it a Christmas nrosent from was new, a Uhnstmas present lrom father. Do please get out and get it. I - . - - , can iiom uie nurse. Unsuspicious and obliging, Thomas handed his deceitful little cousin the reins, and sprang out to got the muff. Quick as thought, Anna drew the reins tightly, caught the light whip from its socket, gave the swift horse a cut, and sent it living down the road as light as an arrow, while poor Thomas, not com prehending her game as yet, ran shouting after them. But he was soon left far, far behind, whilo on flew the bay horse, guided by Anna's steady touch, until she drew it up, reeking with foam, under tho long shed at illis's. An other carriage was there, and in the moonlight Anna recognized Richard's tast gray marc, lie canto forward at once. " Is it you, Anna?" " Yes.Itichard," sho said, springing out. "Tell tho boy to blanket my horse ; lie's all in a sweat, and keep him here till Cousin Tom eontes for him. He'll bo here soon, I fancy. Are you ready?" " Yes, all ready. Jump into my carriage, quick, Anna. We'll explain as wo go along. You'll go to Westfield with me, dear?" "Anywhere you please, Dick, only let us bo quick. Father's at the Cornors." Dink put hor into his carriage, gave a few brief orders to the astonished groom, and was far on thu road in a minute more.

r Mr. Graeey waited at the dance, uither Tom, Richard nor Anna but neither came. At last, convinced something was wrong, he mounted his horse aim rode back, meeting Thomas half-way from Willis's with Ids news. Thomas was for an instant puaxletl, but tho old gentleman vowed nobody should go after her or bring her back; she had made her own bed and she might lie on it for all he cared, whether she found it comfortable or not. So home wont the ld fathoi anil nursed his wrath until tho next moraIng, whon a noto Was brought from Anna, begging Thomas's pardon for the cavalier way in which sho was obliged to desert him tho night before, saying that Richard and herself were married, and gone home to Fathor Luudon,'s, and woro waiting to know if they might como over and ask their parents' forgivonoss. Now Mr. Gracoy did know when to make tho best of a thing, and ho admired his daughter tho more for the will and spirit which equaled his own. So, after fuming and trotting awhile, he said : " Well, I givo in. She's a match for mo. Real Gracoy pride that! Wife, scare up your fattest turkey, and I'll go and brinr them homo to dinnor." The Present State of the Rassian War.

The bugbear which paralysed the poliey of Austria is set at rest. It is now put beyond a doubt that Austria would at anytime have been more than a match, single-handed, against Russia. The German army, in widch a strong desire has existed ever since tho Franco-German war to measure swords with Russia as a foeman worthy of their steel, now see that no glory is to bo gained by victories over a nation whom the Turks van vanquish. The French, wlvo have fondly clang to a pusI sible alliance with Russia, as atlbruing the only bono of restoration to their former srreatnoss and influence in Europe, will porceivo that they have been trusting to a broken reed? whilo England can regard undismayed the annexation of potty Mussulman States in, Central Asia, secure in the fact that the troopa that have failed in tho Shipka Pass would never be ablo to force their way, in tho tooth of tho armma of India, thromrh tho Bo lan and Khvhar. Tho illusion of the I pan-slavic giant nelled. and it is I - I . .... has neen rudely disnow clear that if Europo is to bo forced into the Napoleonic alternative of becoming either Cossack or republican, it is the latter fate which awaits rer. It would be strange, indeed, if tho republicanism of 1 urone 'came from a Cossack source? and if the national agitation to which tho failure i - of the Russian armies in Bulgaria may giro rise, should bo developed into a revolutionary Movement, spreading into tho other countries of tho continent. That an important political change of somo sort is pending in Russia, there can be little doubt; but this will in all probability bo inaugurated, as all important political changes have ever been in that singular country.by tho removal, cither by death or abdication, of its present ruler, whoso health and mind, it is reported, aro both becoming seriously affected by tho failure of his armies. Meantime we have minors of peace negotiations to bo initiated by the neutral powers between Russia and Turkey. In these wo have no confidence ; whatever the disposition of tho Russian Government may be, tho people would never consent to such terms as Turkey, flushed with unexpected success, would accept. Tho war must be fought out to tho bitter end ; but this may not be so romoto as appearances would indicate. It is true that tho Turkish successes are indecisive, that their movements arc alow, and their combinations still encompassed with great difficulties. On the other hand, "tho Russian reinforcements, of which wo have hoard so much, aro very long in making their appearance on the theater of war; and, according to the most accurate calculations which have been made, they have now not more than 200,000 men in Bulgaria,

Tho delay in bringing up new Russian forces may have its origin either in financial embarrassment, or it may arise from the fact that It Is not safe now to denude l'oland of troops, in consequence of tho insurreotionary tnovomont which, it is reported, is slowly and secretly maturing in that country, The commencement of the rains will
