THE MAIL

A PArER FOR THE PEOPLE.

Mary Croly Roper in Godey's Ladies' Book.

A Short Engagement.

Lieutenant Gerald Worthington, of the 1st Artillery, stood loungingly in he doorway, or what used to be the /doorway before the portieres

The object of these comments, apparently, at least, unconscious of Gerald's scrutiny, was of the fietite order of womanhood. She was neither blonde, brunette, nor "happy medium, according to the common acceptation of the term for her eyes were dark and velvety, her hair golden brown, and her complexion light and clear. She was unobtrusively dressed in a soft satin of ftecru tint, cut away just enough to show the graceful curve of her throat. Her only ornament was a huge bunch of jacqueminot roses at her waist.

She was looking rather wistfully, Gerald thought in his cursory glance, at the dancers and all at once he magnanimously determined to bestow his highly prized attention in that direction, and help her to have a pleasanter ovening than tho indications seemed to warrant. "I've 110 doubt she's a perfect stick, and will color up to her eyeurows overy time I look at her but, at any rate I can't bo much more bored than am at present."

Ho saying, he addressed the first friend who happened to le near bv, and asked for information concerning" tho youny lady in question. "*No—haven't boen introduced," he replied to Gerald's query. "Haven't had time. I ve leon so t-onfouudodly engaged." Tho speakor wiped tho prespiration from hit brow, and looked quite exhausted. "Better hunt up Mrs. Detnoville—she'll introduce you." "Hunting up Mrs. Demoville" was 110 easy task. I lower, started on a newtack, Gerald was not tho man to rot real. With difficulty lie piloted himself through tho crowded rooms,coming into collision with the da 11 com and having his toes step|ed on at overy turn, but still keeping a "weathereye" out for his hostess. Pulling and panting and heated, half angry, half 11111 used, he merged into a clearing and stopped to draw a long breat h. "Well, I am taking a deuced lot of trouble to obtain an introduction I don't in tho least desire but since I'm 011 the road, I'll stand tiriu— he paused in his reflections to skip out of the way of a couple, who wul.zed up against him at that moment-—"to my intention. Where the deuce in that woman?

The lady referred to, who had been standing exactly opposite to him nil the time, now caught his eye, and Gerald hurried over to her, as if his life were in her hands,and there was no time to lose. He made know his wish in few words, and presently found himself bowing low before "My friend, Miss Smith," as Mrs. I leinovil Unannounced. ".smith he groaned inwardly. She trii.i pretty, though—-much more so than he had llrxt imagined. "Will you give me this waltz, Miss Smith

SO much in VOirtlA. ami fiiyflAaatv

Gerald* Worthington had spent his young manhood in the pursuit of pleasure—that is, after graduating from West Point at the end of his class—forgetting that pleasure comes oftenest to those who wait her bidding and lire content. As the phrase g«es, he sighed for newworlds to conquer and as though to comply with his request, fate directed his waHdi'i ing gaze to the pale pretty fiu-e of a girl sitting quite alone in the furthest and most secluded corner of the apartment "I'oor little wall-flower,'* he mused, "some country cousin of Mrs. I)fimoville's, I supfmae. Very plainly dressed. 1'ity she hasn't more style she'd le very nice looking—very nice looking," he concluded critically

Gerald's tone was not as Invit

ing as he intended it to be. That awful name! Tho young lady rose. "I'd rather walk," was her unexpected response.

Hat her walk than waltz with such an unrivalled dancer as Lieutenant orthington "Ah, well! nerhapa the tioor little thing has never been taught, ho concluded, pityingly, though lie said aloud:

Klthei you please, of course. Hut whv do you* prefer alking?" "O, I've wanted to for the last hour. You soe, I am staying with Mrs. IVinoville, and as I am" a stranger in New York. I know few people here, though she has I veil extremely kind in introducing her friends to nie. I can lie verv attractive, for they soon drifted awav, and 1 saw them no more, she replied. pausing for brenth, and looking up saucily into her companion's face. "Thev 'do not know what pleasure they have missed remarked Grnild,***atowing for the tirst timea look of interest upon the girl. "1 think so myself," she rtv-ponded, with a surprising candor, which quite staggered her escort, who h.id In*'• used to deprtvating answers to his compliment*.

The wait* was drawing to a close while Gerald was being introduced, and uow the last strains had died atvav. He offered bisarm to hh» companion .and joined the eouples in a promenade. "Why doesn't .she look at a fellow, for two minute* ot a time T" thought he, as the yoving girl laughed and chatted by his iitic. Once in a while there would eotne a shy, swift glance from her soft eves, which would send a pleasant litle thrill through him,—an uncommon senxatlon these days. The pretty hand on his arm rested with so light a pressure, its presence served more for form than for support but one thing pleased him imperially—that the longing had vanished from her eyes, and her mouth was "dimpled o'er with smUos."

Presently the music commenced. "O it is that delicious

at the dently for him, but it was not strange, and this was but a rojietitio* of many other evenings spent by this bla.se young officer, in jparlor and ball-room. What was rather 'remarkable was the calm indifference of his gaze at the fair women, who, glancing at him aw they whirled past, blushed or smiled in equally charming fashion still this, too, was an old story. All women liked him. Aside from his undeniably good lookn, he had such "nice little ways," they said.

lad," she confessed naively. "Well, tired of dancing. Let us sit here for a few moments, and waUih the rest."

Gerald was decidedly piqued. If there was one thing he prided himself upon more than another, it was his waltzing, which was evidently all thrown away on t'jis strange young lady. Vexed as be was, he obeyed, and sat down bv her side, instead of excusing himself and seeking a more appreciative companion, as he would have clone in any other case. Turning suddenly, he found her looking at birn with a face brimming over with good-buinored mischief. The stiffness in his features and bearing made some show of resistance, but soon yielded to the battery of a winning smile and genial manner. "I was only in fun," she exclaimed "I'm not tired of dancing, and I don't want,tojre8t and I wouldn't miss this lovelyjwaltz for anything. Hurry let's go 0.11 the lloor—I'm so afraid the music will stop. You hold one to perfection,' she whispered, as [they whirled away, and Gerald swallowed the compliment with a relish that was as novel as it was

"CKMr. Worth—!" The girl was flying back in his arms, with white lips and knitted brows. A clumsy individual had suddenly jounced against her |with terrible force, almost crushing her foet with his weight.

Brute muttered Gerald, as the man moved off with a faint apology. "Poor little girl!" the young man bent tenderly over the drawn face, "are you in much pain "No. indeed," and making a brave effort, the girl stood up: but ner face con tracted again. People were begining to crowd around. "Take me away," she whispered. "No harm done," said Gerald aloud. "Please mane room, and I will take the lady to a seat."

He half carried her to the conservatory, fortunately deserted, and placed her on one of the rustic settees. In a few moments she was sitting up, laugh ingover the accideul. "It was like hitting one's funny-bone —only much worse. A moat horrible sensation at tho time, but soon over. It is too baa to keep you here, when you may be enjoying yourself in the parlors. Don't mind me. Go and dance if you like." "Hut suppose I don't like," returned Gerald, witn composure. "I've seen so much of that sort of thing, I care very little for it. I'd much rather stay h6re and talk to you—may I He was looking at hor with a sort of bold diffidence so to speak, which made her eyes droop. "Yes," was all she said, but there was world of soft meaning in hor tone. He drew a long bench near her, and calmly seated himself. "I wonder," sho said dreamily, "that the music, and perfume, and beautiful toilette, and eager, pleasure-looking faces, have lost their charm for you. Do you not detect the scent of orange-trees in tho air? Listen to the plash of the fountain, and the melody of the waltz as it floats in to us here, in our cool retreat. It seems to me as though I ould drift on this way forever." "So could I, too," murmured Gerald, unconsciously drawing nearer, "drift on forovor—this way—with you!'" His hand touched hers. She opened her eyes wide and laughed—actually laughed

There, there! that'll do," sho coolly remarked, and "Gerald immediately straightened up, feeling as though a draught of sharp air had taken him unawares. "I bog ten thousand pardons," hesaid, with elaborate politeness. "Fine evening, is it not

Beautiful!" responded his companion, then briskly, "No further remarks 011 the weather allowed. Am I so uninteresting that you can't find anything brighter to say to me than that?" "Not till von turn your eyes awav. Thev are paling 111 light," said Gerald tenderly, returning to the charge.

You must have said that ever so many times before, it rolls so smoothly off your tongue."

Gerald was really vexed. He knew this was only banter, but his vanity had never before received such rtulq,shocks. "1 have made similar remarks in my life, but I assure you Miss—Smith they have always met with a more cordial reception."

ft\Vhy?"

Disconcerted, Geiald replied he didn't know, excepting that—well—he had alwavs been quite a favorite with ladies. "'And you—"she said, "areyou equally susceptible?" "I used to lie,'' he admitted,—I may be still!" theold darling look back again.

A change mine over the girls face. She slowly raised her head, l»efore bent over her knees, and gazed at him from under her long lashe. "ran a heart bo worth much that has IKMMI shared by so many?" her toqe was almost mournful. "I am no different from other men," urged Gerald, "but indeed I am speaking the truth, when I tell yon all other women in the world are the same me. since 1 have, met you. Do yob know vou arc very sweet, little woman Y" He bent forward with such a look in his eyes!

Beware, Gerald Worthington !—yon •re on dangerous ground, and nearing a precl pice. "Are you in earnest? she said in a lingering vrav, "do you really mean— "I mean," lie criwi, impelled by an irresistible force, "I maan-that I love you!"

The girl started violently. "But we are strangers. Yon do not* you cannot mean it! You are playing at lore," and she hid her face in htr "bands. "I am in earnest, for the first time in my life." Gerald's arm was slipping around the girl's waist. What a dainty, supple little waist it was! "Tell me you could care for me, at lewt." "I don't know what to say," she murmured, pitifully. "Why should I care foryou?'

Whv should you care for me, my daring? Because I want you to be my wife! May I hope?" he burst forth.

It was done! Gerald bad gone over, the precipice. .... As he spoke, the awfulness of the situation struck him witn full force. He had "made love" many timea before, but this was the first time" he had ever been betrayed into proposing. He knew he waa doing a rash, foolish thing, and found himself secretly hoping toe. girl's good sense would »y« him.

She looked timidly down

Gerald drew a gasping sigh. He did not know which he felt most inclined to do—take advantage of his situation to] indfed, or turn and run

"Our continued absence will benoticejC*' and Gerald complied, with visible relief. While he was seating his betrothed, a former partner arrived on the scene, asked her if she was sufficiently rested to dance, and before the young officer could recover from his astonishment, she was whirling off in the arms of the new comer.

In a retired corner of the room, subsequent to these events, a fierce-browed, gloomv-eyed youug man might be seen, chewing bis moustache, and indulging in a train of reflections which appeared to be the reverse of agreeable.

They ran on something in this wise "Idiot! what do you want with a wife? —a poor Lieutenant with nothing but your pay ^between you and starvation! How could you support a wife, who can hardly manage to support yourself? You know you owe, vou have owed your tailor, your shoemaker, and your landlady, and even your washwoman, until your credit is worn to tatters. Hang it all! What did you want to propose to the girl for? You don't know what she is like in temperament and disposition, even if you were in a position to marry. Look at her now She's forgotten your ver3'existence is dancing with everybody that asks her. "H'ni! I wonder how she came to have so many partners all at once. She seemed solitary enough when I tirst saw her. Seated at,last! I'll go to her and claim a dance," so I'll remember what my future spouse looks like the next time I see ber," with which piece of sarcasm Gerald arose and made his way to his fiancee's side. Another geutleman was approaching her at the same time. "Miss Smith, will j'ou favor me? 'began Gerald rather loftily. "I should be so pleased, Mr. Worthingtou, but I have promised Mr. Hawson. Another time!" she added gayly, as she moved away 011 the arm of her escort.

Gerald roamed about like a caged-lion. Unheeding, he, walked over trains, between couples,'and plump up against staid dowagers behaving altogether in a most shocking manner. The burden of his song was, "How shall I get out of this Pretend I'm jealous, and pick up a quarrel No, that would be mean and unmanlj'. Tell ber frankly of my predicament? No, 'quickly' I couldn't do that. Get drunk, and disgrace myself before her? No, I'm not suoh a beast, I hope. There is nothing I can do to get out the scrape. No way is open to me. I must submit." He found himself at the alcove. He entered and quite hidden by the curtains he laid his bead on his crossed arms against the window-Rill. A touch, light but electric, aroused him. He looked up and saw the fair form of his unwelcome fiancee standing before him. "I've been hunting everywhere for you," and she looked roguishly into his haggard face. "Have you had a pleasant evening?" "Pleasant!"

A tinge of irony ir\ his voice was met by a soft ripplo of laughter. "You poor fellow! Don't you suppose I understand you? Don't you snppose I've boen watching you parading about, looking as though you were going to death and destruction?—not exactly the expression one would naturally expect to see on the face of a newly-engaged man. Come, don't stare at nie in that way. Mind your manners, and offer me a seat, for I want to have a little talk with yon."

Gerald obeyed mechanically. "I saw you before you were presented to mo, standing near an entrance, surveying the company with too cynical a smile for so 3'oung and good-looking a fellow to wear. You .were pleased to bestow a look of—well, not exactly admiration, upon me. I felt that I was under-

I was free from partners for the first time this evening, so that I was ready to accept your attentions. I somehow felt sure your object in seeking me was not mere attraction, but rather because you thought I was a green little country girl, who would perhaps be a novelty, and suffice at least to pass away the time. You no sooner found yourself alone with me than you began to 'spoon,'as is your custom, 1 have heard, with every woman you meet who is moderately young and nice-looking.

Bef «re he had time to express the gratitude, relief, explanations, and apologies that had been slowly welling up in his breast, she was gone. Bat the gay Lieutenant had learned a lesson he never forgot.

"The meanest job I ever undertook,* mused a Colorado man, "was that of apologizing to a widow, on behalf of a vigilance committee, which hanged her husband by mistake. It was hard to find just the excuse that would satisfy her."

BRILLIAST RESULTS.

In a single numbe of our quarterly journal. Health and Life, will be foand a record of cures, some of which would make the reputation of any medical practitioner.

FATAL FANATICISM.

Another of those strange religious hallucinations which occasionly take pos-

-T««y,—"

H»

weejc Qf

jamgg h. Lay, a lady re

fortv.ai' veaL, of

age. She died very early that morning after having gone without food for four weeks. The woman some time ago received, as she believed, a revelation that she was to become the mother of a sec ond infant Saviour. He was to be conceived by the Holy Ghost, and was to bring light and life into the world. She was encouraged in ber hallucination by her husband, a well-to-do man, and her son, both of whom are kindly disposed persons, but both of whom are supposed to be insane on the subject ef religion. A little over a month ago she received a second revelation, which directed that she should abstain from food and drink until the new "Jesus" was born. I,n this second hallucination she was also en couraged by her son and husband. They believed with her that the revelation was a true one, and that the directions which came in dreams to the mother were direct from God, and not to be disobeyed. The dreams said that the son should be born about June 1. The woman began upon her fast and continued it, the matter being kept secret from the neighbors by th® father and son, through the most dreadful sufferings. On Saturdaj' she died, and when the friends of the family saw the body they were shocked beyond measure. It was then that the carefully guarded secret was let out. The utmost excitement followed, charges of cruelty and foul play,and even threats of lynching, were made against the father and son. They both, however, declared that the victim was in charge of the A1 mightv, aud would recover. They objected to her speedy burial, and charged that no disposition be made of her Dody until the promised Savior made his appearance. Finals au inquest was ordered, and developed that there was no promise of a baby, either human or di vine, and that the poor deluded victim had nothing to oat for weeks. This inquest was strenuously opposed by the two men who saw in it the blasting of all their hopes, not only for their savior, but for the wife and mother. It is thought that both men are insane, but great excitement is still felt. Arrests have not yet been made, but the men are under surveillance.

MEN OF LARGE BRAIN. Man of large brain sometimes suffer from feelings of extreme mental exhaustion, Tbis feeling should not be neglected. Heed such symptoms as nervous debility, blotches, skin diseases, dimness of sight, cough, catarrh of the bladder, and general despondency. When thus afflicted hasten to use Dr. Guysott's Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla. It strengthens mind and body exhausted by disease and suffering. It is the truest of all life-giving tonics, and Nature's best assistant in restoring the proper function to every organ affected.
