wild covers, wu clismonoteO, and, leadir.s cur liorees by the bridles, walked on, pausing- every now and then to cull the fiowerr. ' We were so preoccupied in this manner thai neither of us observed a horseman who was approaching from the right until we heard the horse's tread within a yard or two of where we stood. We both turned at the sound, and found ourselves almost face to face with the stranger, who had dismounted and was coming toward us. lie lifted bis hat with courtly grace as he said: " Pray, ladies, can you inform me how far I am from the country-seat of Sir Edward Lynley?" ' Now, Sir Edward Lynley waa a gouty old Earonet whose country-seat adjoined the rectory, and bo I informed the gentleman, who stood with. Ma blonde head uncovered in the sunshine. He wnn tall and elegant in figure, very fastidious ia dress, without however, the slightest appearance of dandyism, very fair in complexion, with blonde hair and mustache, while a pair of bright black eyes rendered his face peculiarly attractive. lie praised and admired our flowers, and, as we wore about to return, it ended in our remounting and all riding tiaek to the parsonage together. lie proved to be a nephew of Sir Edward's, Guy Strathley by name, and had come to spend the summer with bis uncle, at the hitter's urgent request, lie stayed at the rectory for an hour or more, quite charming my uncle and aunt with his high-bred, aristocratic appearance and interesting conversation, and before he left I bad concluded that he was not only the most agreeable and handsome gentleman that I ever had seen, but the very handsomest that I ever could see. The next day but one, as Margaret and I were taking an afternoon stroll in the shade of the elms, down by the river, we encountered our new acquaintance aa ho emerged from the woods equipped for the chase, the blue hunting-shirt he wore setting off his fair complexion to the best advantage. He "had been roaming through the woods,'' he said, "in search of game, but with such poor success that he was fain to give it up in despair. Were we about to return ? Then ho would give himself the pleasure of walking up with us as far as the parsonage gates." Of course, "we would be pleased to have Mm do so," and he walked along talking so pleasantly and entertainingly that the three-quarters of a mile we traversed seemed scarcely more than one. The next day was Sunday, and Uncle Frederick anl I attended divine worship at the little parish church that was his especial care. After services I found Margaret and her mother, and insisted that they should accompany me home to dinner. They readily consented, and it was not until after we were fairly started that I observed that Uncle Fred himself had two guests, none others than Sir Edward Lynley and his nephew. Dinner over, Uncle Frederick and Sir Edward must needs look at the stock, walk through the orchard and appraise the coming crops. Aunt Lucy and Mrs. Clare were deep in discussion of some proposed charity, and so it naturally followed that Mr. Strathley, Margaret and I were left to our own resources. We had some music, Mr. Strath ley's dep bass mingling well with Margaret's sweet alto voice aad my clear soprano. Altogether the day passed so pleasantly that we were all sorry when it was gone, and Sir Edward axd his nephew took their leave. After this wa saw & great deal of Mr. Strathley. I say we because Margaret and I were almost constantly together. Scarcely a day passed but what I saw kin, either at Uncle Frederick's or at Mrs. Clare's pretty cottage, or, perchance, Margaret and I would meet him ia our daily walks or rides.

I

PAOLI, ORANGE CO., Margaret -would seo the same qualities in him that had charmed ns, and so to have prevented myself from Eueh a terrible Eskta&Q. I would have gone away where I would not have been obliged to see him; I would have done anjthirg rather than that this should happen, that I and my bosom friend should be rivals. But no; that could never be. She should be spared the nnhappiness of knowing that I, too, loved him; and, after all, it would not be so bad, for, if ho loved her as I now hoped that he did, I could have the satisfaction of seeing them happy the two beings that I loved beet on earth and then there would be only the pain in my own heart to bear, and I felt that I was brave enough to do that. I waited a moment longer to regain my composure, and then went forward to where they were sitting. After he had taken his departure, I still lingered, for I must have a talk with Margaret to ascertain if my surmises were true. I hesitated, hardly knowing how to commence. There was a moment's pause during which I was furtively watching her. How beautiful she looked as she sat there, a spray of honeysuckles falling from the lattice-work above her head and resting caressingly on her goldbrown hair. At last I spoke. "Daisy, dearest, tell me truly, do you love this Mr. Strathley?" She colored crimson and hid her face in my lap, faltering, " Oh ! Maudie, how did you guess?" I felt myself growing faint at heart, but I replied lightly, "Oh ! a little bird told me," and then, changing my tone, I took both her hands in mine, and kissed her again and again, saying with the tears very near, "May Heaven bless you, Daisy, and may you always be happy, dear." "And he loves me just a little, don't you think he does ?" she said wistfully, raising her brown eyes to my face, with a look which to my dying day I shall not forget. "Yes," I said, chokingly, averting my face that she might not see the pain in my own eyes. "Yes, darling, I think he does." And so I bravely put aside my growing love, which, though I could not kill, I would bury deep down in my heart where no one might guess it had. ever lived. No, I would give no sign lest Margaret should suspect my secret, and it should cause her to suffer even as I suffered now. After my conversation with Margaret I avoided Mr. Strathley as much as possible, for I felt it would be wisest and safest so. Whenever we three were together I usually found some excuse to leave them alone, if we were out of doors, strolling off by myself to gather flowers, and, though I often noticed that his dark eyes followed me vuth a puzzled expression, as of mingled pain and doubt, yet I never fully understood their meaning until he came to me one evening, where I was sitting alone in the twilight, engrossed in my sorrowful fancies, with a light in his eyes that I had never seen there before. lie took a seat beside me, and, before I could resist, had taken both my hands in his. ' At last I find you alone, Maude. You have avoided me so strangely of late that I could never get a word with you save in the presence of our friend. Bat I have come to-night to learn my fate, whatever it may be. Tell me, darling, is it yes, or no?" When he ceased speaking, I sat as one turned to stone. For a moment I felt all the joy and sweetness of a love returned. For a moment I was almost tempted to accept this great boon that was offered me; only for a moment, no longer. Then came tkouLta of Margaret, Should I, her dearest friend, rcb her of tho re an rha loved n dccily? Could I ever endure a icprc-cllnl glance from the d:c.r brown eye 3 that had always trr. d c d me ?

INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST. 2S, 1S7S.

Well, it is the old story over again. A man who places his fate in the- hands of a woman is a fool, and, if the scales be turned e gainst him, he 'only receives his deserts. You have taught me a lessen that I shall. cot Don forget- never to trust in -womankind again." . -"No," I cried,- thinking of Margaret, " oh, no, no. Do not say that. There are others, fairer better" here I came very near breaking down completely "truer than I, who can yet make you happy." He regarded me for a moment sadly and half pityingly. 'You are only a child yet," he said; "you do net understand how men love." He took his hat and turned as if to go, came back suddenly, and, before I could divine his intention, he had stooped and kissed my forehead. " Good-by," he said, in a changed voice; "it is for the last time. I shall never see you again; good-by." When he was out of hearing, I threw myself downward on a sofa, sobbing as if my heart would break. Oh 1 how I longed to call him back, to tell him that I was not cold and unfeeling, as I seemed, but that I did love him so very dearly. But this I must not do, and I was forced to let him go without an excuse or a word of explanation, while I lay there with his words ringing in my ears; lay there in my bitter sorrow, until the moon came out in her soft splendor, a pale ray stealing in at the -window and resting on my head like a benediction. Then I arose and went out in the evening air, that cooled my heated brow, the only thought in which I could find solace being that I had been true to Margaret, my well-beloved friend. Guy Strathley left for London the next day, and, as he had predicted, I never saw him again. I was glad when I heard that he was gone; glad for my own sake as well as for Margaret's. It is true I had at first hoped that he would turn to her and learn to love her as she deserved, but, seeing that this was hopeless, I was glad that he was gone, for Margaret, I trusted, would soon forget him, and we would, after a while, be as happy as before he came. But, alas ! for the shallowness of all my plans. Margaret did not so easily forget, and day by day she grew paler and thinner until her severe mental trouble, combined with her naturally delicate constitution, caused her to fall a victim to an attack of brain fever, which had before threatened her. And I, who had sacrificed my own happiness for her sake ; I who had loved her, but too well, was doomed to watch her fading away until one lovely autumn day, when all the earth was robed in its brightest colors, she was laid in her grave, leaving me, desolate and lonely, to weep over her last resting-place I, who would gladly have gone in her place. The last words she uttered were to me. "Good-by, Maudie," she said, softly, her cheek resting against mine, " I shall see you both in heaven." Singularly enough, in less than a month after this I heard, through Sir Edward, of his nephew's death by drowning. . ; And 1 often wonder, as I sit at night gazing at the placid heavens whither they have gone, if, since they have both been there, he has not learned to love her even as she loved him here. And I also wonder if, when I at last join them, they will know me, so changed as I shall be, and if they will both love me as they used to on this earth. I hope it will be so, and I believe it will, though no doubt you will say that it is only a fooliih old maid's fan?y, for that is wL:.t they call me now, and I supP'e..e tle.t tly i:i right, as I we 3 13 when Margaret died, and it is now over fltcenye-rs tat the dai-es have been grewir g cn her r,i..ve.

Till! ELECTORAL COSniSSiOX. Secret VUiaptcr ot Political History Letter from Macton Marble 3fr. Tiltiei&'s Relations to. the Electoral Count of 1S78 Faacls that Have an Interest for tlie People. In the recent correspondence between Henry Watterson and Abram S. Hewitt the former called upon Mr. Manton Marble, aa the only personal witness of some of the facts in the history of the Electoral bill end of Mr. Tilden's relation thereto, to publish these facta and put on record the whole of this important chapter in our political annals. Mr. Marble, in response, publishes in the New York Sun a paper setting forth these facts, ne says that nothing Mr. Tilden did caused, and nothing was omitted by him to avert, the success of the plot which effected a revolution in the Presidential succession. Mr. Marble recites that after the election of 1876 had shown that Mr. Tilden was fairly elected to the Presidency, Zach Chandler instantly set hi motion the plot which deprived him of it. The Republican Returning Boards of the three States were telegraphed to that all depended on them. Troops were sent to the three capitals, and the "visiting statesmen " were summoned. In two " interviews," adroitly timed, President Grant gave out that the Presidency would be turned over to Vice President Ferry in the event of a failure of a count, citing a statute which palpably refers to no such evet as the expiry of his own term, and carefully neglecting to cite the constitution, where it provides that the House and Senate shall repair a default of election by the college. Now Ferry (writes Mr. Marble) was neitner one of the two, norone of the three highest candidates voted for, but he, too, put it about among the reporters that if "the two houses Tailed to agree ""he would shirk "no responsibility." Borlesquing Lady Godiva in her long Lair, when " clothed upon with chastity," he was ready to ride down. Pennsylvania avenue in nothing but his beard and stolen magistracy. When this flagitious complot was flagrant in all its parts, and while as yet no Bepublican hierarch, from Prof. Woolsey to Mrs. Jenks, had challenged the conspirators with a Siand thou on that etde, for on this am' I; it is no secret that Mr. Tilden, comprehending its scope, its dangers, and his own responsibility as well, in the primacy of leadership to which he had been newly chosen by his party and elected by his countrymen, matured and determined upon a y?rvr Uj tunw and defeat the cabal, and to maintain at once the Presidential succession and the public peace. Forasmuch as the plot to filch the Presidency, and the Government from tho elect of the people, besides its two qualities of fraud and force, had two periods and parts, it is timely here . to observe just where Mr. Tildan abstained from encountering it, and just at what period and part he planned to destroy it. All of the "visiting statesmen" summoned by Grant were, by a singular coincidence, Republicans and special friends and private agents of Mr. Hayes. It is now proven and notorious that they it was who worked out the primary part and fraudulent ground-work of the conspiracy, directing if not devising the perjuries, forgeries and paper fabrications of the local and county officials, or pretending their regularity and legality before the State canvassers. To hear Noyes defend the Alachua frauds and forgeries before the Florida board with gushing eloquence and the fabricated testimony of 228 afSanta, all by an extraordinary coincidence writing one and the same hand, would have given that canting hypocrite, Pecksniff himself, a moral vomit. These agents from Ohio were also the systematic suborners of the inferior officials, of their accomplices and their false witnesses, in multifarious crimes. They promised the official trusts of the Government as bribes for the commission of high criminal offenses. In so many instances as to be past counting, their" promises have been adopted and performed by Mr. Hayes. The local election officers, etc., now hold minor civil trusts under the u-ov-eminent, by Hayes' recommendation, but the real princ:pals in the crime were rewarded by the gift of the highest trusda in tho administrative and diplom".'.:3 t :rv:ee.

But I opoloe'e for the sti-f stioa. First, 1 rpc.e jiz' to Gov. "'j. ill en for confronting his character with the morally impossible. Next I apologize to all his Republican calumniators for confronting their characters with the morally incredible. But it was necessary to mention just where Mr. Tilden did not attack the Republican conspiracy. " Mr. Tilden," says the writer, " took immediate pains to advise Mm friends foremost in the House of Representatives that the final success of the low plot was impossible if that House would stand firmly and immovably on the unbroken series of precedents formed by the twenty-two Presidential counts from 1793 to 1872. He demanded that they expose and combat in full debate the threatened usurpation by the President of the Senate of the right to count the votes and to select the votes to be counted. Upon this issue Mr. Tilden counseled maay of his friends in the leadership of the House not only to stand, but to force the debate first in the House, then in the Senate. He accepted all responsibility for the outcome. He assured them that were their temper stiff and resolute, the conspiracy would break down in process of execution." After dwelling at length on the earnestness with which Mr. Tilden tried to push the fight on this plan, Mr. Marble gives a history of the electoral scheme and proceeds: " He would not be drawn into the slightest expression of personal sanction to the electoral scheme, which was adopted on the 17th of January with unanimity by the Democratic members of the committees of both houses. Mr. Tilden, in his interview with Mr. Hewitt, on the 11th, did not withhold the grounds of his objection to the bill. Expressing some surprise at the fact that the Democratic Senators had already determined upon their course, whatever his advice or wishes might be, and some surprise at the secrecy which had shrouded the gestation of their project, Mr. Tilden observed that secrecy in respect to any plan implicating the rights and interests of so many was a mistaken and unfortunate policy. He recommended the widest public ty, the fullest discussion, and the freest consultation. Mr. Tilden's criticisms of the details of the bill, of which in no shape could he approve either the policy or the substance, exemplify the political sagacity of the statesman: ' If arbitration is to be adopted tho tribunal U U 1 U 4U fat' 1 1 .cu IU uio ' I i.3Cii, auu ..., i to cfiauce or iit-igue. If aa arbitration is to be adopted, the duty of ijo arbitrators to investigate anil tlecide the ca:e on its merits should be made mundaurr &uvi not left a question of cojstruetion. With both ttie vital points left at Iooe ends, yon cannot succeed. You can exact, first, the fee ection of good men to compose he irlbanol, which i3 the controll ing poiat ; ands eecoed, the a.uure of the function to be f trformod by the tribunal, which ia next in importance. Fix these two points, good men, explicit powsrs, and. you m'ht pobly get through. Leave tbem doubtful, and it is happy-30-lncky, the shake of a diceliox.' " The scheme which Mr. Hewitt had brought contained in its first draft a provision by which six judges were to be described in the act, one of tbem then to bo eliminated by lot. To this Mr. Tilden's objection was peremptory. Said he : ' I m ev lose the Presidency, but I will not rade f or it. ' He was pressed to say that if the bill could be modi fled so a3 to fix the five judges by a positive provision he would give it his approval. He firmly declined. The measure itself was not "one as to which Mr. Tilden's action was or could be hesitated for a single instant. His practical objection deserves as much weight as any argued objection then or since, namely, that 'so great a stake as the government of 45,000,000 of people with an immense civil expenditure, find 100,000 officeholders to be disposed of by a small body sitting in the capital, the judge of its own powers, would become the sport of intrigue or fraud.' "The next day, Jan. 15, Mr." Hewitt having returned to Washington, telegraphed thence to Mr. Edward Cooper, of New York : "'To E. C The Senate committee will probably reject, the five and report the sixjadga plan immediAteir. The Besators feel committed to concur. Tho House committee will not concur, and, for the present, will probably not report. "Mr. Tilden's puswer w.s as follows: 1 'New Yckx, Jan. 15, 15 1 1. "'To A. 8.

Before examining and dresaiog her wounds, ehe told me Henry i'iakston had been killed, and that ehe was badly wounded, and believed that she was going to "die. I said to her that I wanted her, before I did anything for her. to tell all about it, and tell m the truth, and who they were that did it. ..She told me the would tell me the honest troth; as phe did not expect to live, she would tell rno the " solid truth." She eaid : ' Fifteen or twenty negroes caiuo to our house soma time before day this morning and killed Henry and wounded me, a 9 you now see." he eaid tho was positive that it was none but negroes'" that did it all. When Fhe said this a negro woman in the quarter paid to her that he wished they would come back that night and finish her, t.nd that fbe herself had a good mind to take up something and kiP her as Bhe lay there. Eliza Baid to me, "Seo there ; they want to kill me because I will toll tho truth and say it was negroes that lulled Henry." I examined and dressed her wound., finding but one wound on her person that waa, or might become, serious. Bho reniainwl in the neighborhood several day?, walking about from pisff? to ulice until fhe wjii ch i ! to v-v Orsurgeon, that there was nothing in her case that wou'd necessarily prevent her from going where ehe wished, o? that would confine Lor t aroom. I make this statement m as brief and eimple a manner ra possible, 'saying nothing about how she was wounded, as this is not the proper place to do it.

The . errors . of hundreds of letterwriters are corrected every week ia the New York postofaje, and among the most common of the mistakes made by commercial senders is the mailing of letters to New York in the haste of business .which should liavo . been sent to other cities. The postofSce clerks themselves have . such practiced memories that they' correct 'many" 'of theso blunders, but when their memories ',11 tie directory is consulted, and, if the true address is found the letter is forwarded. "When a printed card of the sender is found on the envelope a circular is sent to him informing him of tho detention of his letter and a&king lor instructions.
