Book and iobWork, of all kiads, PROMPTLY AND NEATLY EXECUTED AT THIS OFFICE. LUCV HARGROVE. When Lucy Hargrove first came to Oak land there was a great stir in the rural population. The advent of a real city belle—one of the very ton—was too unusual an event to fail of producing a sensation, and so every gossipping ton gue was set wagging, and the family history of all the Hargroves from Adam down, was duly discussed. There was a gap in his history, however. Two-and- Twenty years ago, Gerald Hargrove, the last of his family, had gone from Oakland, to live in the great city, and his wife was hidden from his old associates, save by occasional glimpses of his wealth and greatness, which seemed almost fabulous to those who had once known him as the pale-faced student striving to ascend the rugged heights of knowledge. Rumor ■aid he had married a city lady, but of his domestic life nothing was known. The Hargrove estate, consisting of an old dilapidated farm, had never passed from his hands. For a score of years, old Abram Lawhorn bad tilled its sterile acres, and yearly had met its landlord s lawyer to pay over a trival sum, for the •Id farm barely paid the taxes and neces ■ary repairs. So now, when the daughter of Gerald Hargrove, had suddenly come to Oakland, unheralded and unattended, it is not strange that many wild rumors should be set afloat concerning the strange occur rence. Nor was the wonder lessened when the next Sunday, at the village etrarch, a vision of dazzling beauty, array ed in the most costly fabrics, sailed up the aisle and took a seat directly in front of the sacred desk; and when the service was ended the vision departed, walking briskly, yet gracefully, away in the direc tion of Hargrove Farm. In vain did the good matured gossips ques tion Abram Lawhoin and his wiie. They knew only what Miss Lucy hail seen fit to communicate, viz: that her mother was dead, that she was an only child—that her father had broken up his household, and that she was to remain at the Farm all Summer. Upon this meagre intelligence many a story was builded, and many a dissimilar cause as signed as the reason for this step, but as ia generally the case, they were all quite far from the truth. Summer ripened into autumn, and the affair was still a sealed book to those who songht tfc pry into its closed lids. It was known that the weekly mail brought bulky packages to the secluded belle- those who had formed a seeking acquain tance found her civil and respectful, but surrounded with so much well-bred digni ty and courteous reserve, us to utterly forbid all approach to the familiarities. To all invitations to piemoa and merry makings a decided but courteous refusal was returned, till at last all attempts, to draw her in the circle of Oakland society was abandoned in sheer despair. It was one day in early Autumn that Felix Graham, “awkward Felix, he was called, was returning through the Hars wood Farm from an unsuccessful quest of small game. He walked carelessly along near the edge of the ravine, when a clumsy step threw him headlong over the brink. As he fell on the rocky bottom his piece was discharged, and the cons tents thereof entered his side, and the poor fellow with a groan, fell back insen sible. When he awoke from that death like swoon soft hands were adjusting a bandage about the wound in his side, and a radiantly lovely but tear-wet face was bent over him, as an angel of mercy might bend over the morally fallen man. Ha knew that face, for once when he had parformed a little favor for her he had received a smiling “Thank you, sir, from the sweet lips of Lucy Hargrove. He groaned with pain, and the girl look ed into his face. “Thank God!” she aspirated then hur riedly added— “Be quiet, pray, till I summon asms tance.” ,, Like a flash she was gone, and lelix Graham wondered if it were not all a dream. No,—that burning, deadening pain at his side was real; that pool of Mood was real, and that water in his hat was too welcome to be an illusion. Across his brow he felt something moist, and removing it he found a dainty hand kerchief with the monogram “L. H." in one coiner. , , , ... By the time the weakened and half wandering mind had realized all this, he heard voices coming near. In another minute Abram Lawhorn, John, his son, and Peter Grimes, the hired man, led by Lnev Hargrove, came to the spot where he lay. Lucy bent over him, and tender ly inquired how he felt “Better I reckon,” faltered he, what is the matter with me ?” “Ton have met with an incident, sir— have shot yourself. We will take yon to the house where I think we will meet a Doctor.” Tenderly they lifted him up, and slow ly bore him away, though every irregular •tap of his bearers evoked a groan of pain. Dney walked beside him, frequently moistening his lips with water, and twice •he called a halt and administered a cor £®L They reached the houseatlast, and the wounded man was placed on a bed ion soon came, and whan he had the wound, congratulated Mi* on her nerve and skill. The injury, he said, was severe, but not neces sarily fatal, and that he could confidently state that with good care the patient would soon be well. Thus it came abont that Lucy Hargrove became better known to the inhabitants of Oakland; for during those weeks that Felix Graham lay wounded at the Farm, she was constantly at his bedside, and those who watched his nurse at her self- appointed post of duty, could not but own that she was assiduity and tender ness combined and embodied in the pres ence of a lovely person. Yet of her own affairs she was persis tently reticent, and the two or three at tempts of the less scrupulous of the visi tors to cross examine her respecting her family, were so quietly, but so completely baffled, that the inquisitors were glad to leave the tabooed subject alone. By and by the wound of Felix Graham was well enough for his removal, and he was taken home. Then the old life seem ed to come back to the strange, isolated girl, at the Hargrove Farm. Rather, she seemed more secluded than ever, as if the partial break in her retirement de manded a more vigorous shutting out of the world, and the gossips once more found themselves busy detailing and amending the numerous surmises they mutually held concerning her. The statement that Felix Graham’s wound was partially well, had reference only to his physical hurt. Cupid, the invisible, and therefore more dangerous foe to the peace of young humanity, had deeply planted a shaft in his heart, and the great, awkward, country booby would gladly have laid down his life for the sake of the city belle. Yet the gate of Har grove Farm shut out no one more entire ly than him. Perhaps she realized the state of his feelings, and recognizing * the hopelessness of his love, wisely forebore feeding a passion that could possibly bring but ill. One day, before he removed from the Hargrove Farm he had spoken with Lucy relative to ^he accident, and she had sim ply said— “I was reading in the woods, and saw you pass by. You were past, when I was startled by a gunshot, and heal'd a groan. Fearing an accident, I ran down the ravine till I found you. I thought you were dead, but soon ascertained that you were not; I tried to staunch the flow of blood, and—you know the rest.” “Which is, that I shall never be able to repay the debt I owe yon!” exclaimed he, ashamed and shocked at his temerity a moment afterward. “I have done nothing," was the cool reply, “more than a duty we all owe to one another. Do not mention it a- gain. Poor Felix! Had he been more deeply versed in the ways of the world, he would not have put so liberal a construction upon the world; but considering himself guilty of an imprudence, and fearing that the whole subject was distasteful to her —that even the care she bestowed on him was a disagreeable burden, he essayed a deprecatory sentence. She stopped him at once, and, handing him a book, bade him keep it and endeavor to profit by its teachings. It was “Bunyan’s Pilgrim's Progress,” but it was not until long af ter ward that he knew the dark stain on its cover was made by his own blood— that was the book she sat reading Dear the Black Ravine that, to him, luckless day. So Felix Graham, loving with all the earnestness of his rude soul, feared that his love was offensive to its object, and set the seal of silence upon it, choosing to suffer alone rather than to give pain to one so pure, and so far above him. It was a cold, cheerless morning in mid winter that Felix Graham sat reading in front of a cheerful fire in his father’s home, endeavoring to exorcise a spirit of restlessness that was stealing over him of late. For awhile he had been content to love the girl at Hargrove Farm as one might love a deity ; but in all earthly love there is a desire for the possession of the object loved, and this desire was growing strong in the soul of Felix Graham. He had met Lucy once or twice since his recovery, and she had met liim cordially ; but he was too modest to hope that her kindness sprang from any other motive than a friendly interest in one to whom she had done a favor—least of all, that it grew out of a personal interest in him self. He was, therefore, greatly surpri sed when the door opened and John Lahom walked in with a note from Lucy. It ran thus: u Mr. Felix Graham:—Please come to me at once, and confer a favor on Lucy Hargrove." He arose, donned his overcoat, and set off with John for the Hargrove farm. “Do you know what is the matter? he asked Qf his companion, as they walk ed along. “No,” said John. “I had just brought in the mail, and was hardly warm when Miss Lucy came with a white face and asked me to take a note to you." Graham found Lucy in tears, but liabi ted for a walk, and waiting for him in the sitting room. She rose to meet him, and brokenly said : 4< I want you to go with me to the Black Ravine.” ; “To the Black Ravine?’’—«why? he asked, in surprise, for neither of them had been there since the day he was borne from thence with that ugly wound in his side. “Read that!” And the trembling fin gers held out a crumpled note. He took it and read: “January 10, 18— Dear Ducy: This is the last line you will ever receive from your unhappy fath- The accompanying papers will show vine till they reached the point where Graham had fallen. “It is there!” whispered the girl, and with a rigid countenance and bloodless fingers she pointed to a white heap at the bottom. Together they descended, and rever ently removed the snow from the form, and met the cold stare of a ghastly face. “My father! my poor, lost father!" wail ed the girl; and she fell prone upon the corpse. Gently her companion raised her up, and finding that she was in a swoon, he lifted her in his arms and ror- veyed her to the house. Stating what he had seen, he sent at once to the coroner; then giving Mrs. Lawhorn strict charges respecting the girl, and dispatching an other messenger for his mother, Felix Graham returned to the Black Ravine to keep watch over the body of the sui cide till the proper investigations were made. In a few hoars the inquest was held, and the verdict rendered that “the deceas ed Gerald Hargrove, came to his death by a pistol being fired by his own hand,” &c. Then they lifted up the body and convey ed it to the house, and thence next day it was taken to its final resting place in the Hargrove burial ground. We often find souls, modest and unas suming in every day life, who, when the hour of trial comes, unconsciously assume the leadership, and to whom all eyes are turned for help. So it was with Felix Graham in those two dark days at Hargrove Farm. It was his voice that gave every command, his head that plan ned, and his purse paid for everything. It was his hand and his mother’s that supported the frame of the grief-broken orphan at the grave, and it was his voice that essayed to speak words of cheer to the stricken heart. It was his helpful presence that first brought a ray of com fort to the suffering one and it was his clear head that unraveled the tangled complications of the suicide’s business, and saved a small sum for the portionless daughter. Perhaps he wrought with a hope of re- ward, but it was a distant hope. His was an unselfish nature, and he realized that the best part of love is in bestowing fa» vors upon the beloved object. Yet he did not go unrewarded, for twelvemonths after the tragedy in the Black Ravine there was a wedding at Hargrove Farm, and a new master thereof was install ed Nor was this all, for one day, two years afterward, when in the Black Ravine, an idea struck its owner that the black walls might be other tha 1 common clay. He collected some lumps, tested it, and found it, to be superior coal. Subsequent ex- periments showed that the farm rested on a coal bed, and measures were taken to turn it to account. A branch railroad is now built, and shafts are sunk all over the farm.

The Farm is yours —your .sole possession—it was settled on your mother at our marriage. May God shield and comfort you, my darling, and may He have mercy on the soul of Gerald Hargrove. With blanching cheek Felix Graham read the note, then, standing above Luey, said, in an unsteady voice— “Mies Hargrove, let me go alone.” “No, no!” she wailed. “I must go too, I could hardly wait for you to come, but I could not go alone. Together we will go and see him—my poor, poor father. Assuming a cheerfulness he did not feel, Graham essayed a word of hope. “Do not try to cheat me with a, hope you do not share,” said she. “I think he was on the way when he wrote, and I •have often heard him speak of Black Ra vine, even in my childhood. I know we will find him there.” In silence he took her hand and thi started. A light snow was on the gronn and as they entered the dreary woods Graham felt a shiver run through his companion’s frame.

There is but one en trance to this enchanted spot, and that is by a very nigged and dangerous path way, and the footman experiences great difficulty in the descent. Upon reaching the valley we could hear the rustling of the wind through the lofty pines on the cliffs above us, sounding like the roar of some devastating hurricane, while the grass beneath our feet lay as calm and still as death. Not even the slightest breath of air could be felt. Everything was so still that a person standing at the lower part of the valley could distinctly comprehend peisons speaking at the upper end.—Denver Mirror. “Gosh axd Gush.”—A brilliant writer in the World newspaper calls the Beeeh- er-Tilton squabble “gosh and gush.” Tracing the rise of gosh and gush to New England, the critic truly and severely says: “Yon will have to prove pretty much everybody connected with the case insane before you can satisfy the world that these indecencies are not also the symptom and outcome of a social rot which has corrupted a large section of society, all that long-haired, gushing, pushing lot for whom these people sup ply jthe intellectual pabulum, and who lead the column of great social ideas.” This “gosh and gush” is a moral “ail ment” peculiar to New England, and is the prolific source of all the political, moral and social heresies that afflict the country. It was one of the causes, but cannot be claimed as one of the “legiti mate results of the war,” and in subject ing it to social quarantine, we of the South will not be justly chargeable with treason to the government or hostility to the flag. In “accepting the situation" it is not obligatory on the Southern people to have the “gosh and gush.” Wasted Fertiliser.
