A TRICK CUNNINGLY DEVISED.
Walter Mortemar is left to his
contemplations in his room at his
father s house. The reader will low
turn to the occupants of the carriage

kindlj feeling, tinctured, even, with
her usual gaiety. Their interview
: was marked with kindly sensibilities
and courtesies.
l Mortemar still li3d a diffic It prob-
! lem to solve. While he had got out
of an ugly perplexity, by hypocrisy,
i and downright falsehood, he was, still,
; by his own voluntary act, chained at
i Ella’s car and his fate was at her
disposal.
By some almost supernatural in<-
. fluence, his heart was now held cap
tive by her to whom his first love
was with resentment, or indifference.
It was at this time that Walter Mor
temar commenced his suit- When

‘“Stop Ella," said her mother,
“don’t express yourself more strong
ly. I have no excuse to offer for
Mr. Mortemar's conduct. You saw
that he was ashamed of it, and tried
to conceal his identity from us.”
‘•Yes, mother, but it will do him
no good now,” exclaimed Ella. “This
very night I intended to engage my
self to become his wife. I tremble
at the thought of what I intended to
do. Yonder is the house of the friends
we have come to visit. Our call was
to be short, vve must make it still
shorter, and as soon as we reach
home, 1 will send a note to Walter
Mortemar in which I will tell him
that bis presence to night, for any
purpose whatever, is undesired.’'
“Be not too hasty, Eila, in this matter,
I know more of the world than you
do. Many men are not as scrupul
ous as they should be. Mr. Morte
mar has probably been misled by
this girl’s easy manners into the im- '
prudence which we witnessed. He
is not yet twenty one, and has not the
character of being licentious; you
must be sensible of his deep attach- I
ment for you. He has no thought
of marrying Julia Landon, and, he
will have no desire to toy with her, '
when you can repose in his arms.” I
“No, mother, you do not convince
me. I will see him no more.”
This conversation was cut short :
as the carriage stopped in front of
the house. Upon returning home Ella .
found a note awaiting her from Mr. ,
Mortemar.
It read as follows ;
Court of Love, he was confident it
would be decided that he was under
' greater obligations to Julia than to
Ella, especially, after the occurrences
of their last meeting. Now, his hon
or was involved. He saw Julia’s de
votion and took advantage of it. Per
' haps, it would be more proper to
say, be met it more than half way,
| and pledged*his own in those sweet
caresses. He was conscious, at the
moment, of no though* but love. Ho
oesayed to seal it in .V ' way,
she yielded her lips, to Jna, confidin^
in his honoi ,..d de> of on. She ac
cepted it as a sacred [hedge. It is
not surprising, then, that he expe
rienced a chaos of mind. Under
these circumstances he sought his
friend Winchester, to spread out his
heart, like a map, before him, and,
solicit his friendly advice, while there
is much reason to say that friend
ship is but a name, it is not univers
ally true, and this case was an excep
tion to tLo rule. Their friendship
was warm and sincere. Neither
flattered the other’s vanities, or faults,
and both concealed them from the
knowledge of others. Neither erec
ted a standard for the other, which
human nature could scarcely reach,
that the one mi
rior. Faults detr
attachment, but rather increased it.
Each took the other as he was, and
that Ella, and her mother, received
him favorably, he abandoned all hope
of ever making her his wife. Muffled
with calumny and detraction, ho had
waited for time to extract their
pangs, or some unfolding light to
present him as he really was, pure,
aud guiltless. He had watched and
waited for that time. The autumn
had passed, winter had gone, new
leaves and bright flowers were glan
cing and blooming under vernal
suns, and all his hopes were buried
in Ella’s smile* for Walter Morte
mar.
Working in the interest of both,
Winchester informed him of the exs
act condition of affairs, and urged
him to test Ella’s sentiments by let
ter. He wrote, and in that letter
said :
The light of your being, was the
element in which I delighted to exist,
and the same sentiment which thrill-
and, ' ed my heart with hopes of happiness |
is as influential, now, as in that mag
netic hour. Whatever reception may
be given to this, may I implore you
to pity, if you cannot pardon the

weeks after this Essling and Ella,
_ and
and Mortemar and Julia were expe
riencing the bliss of wedded com
panionship. Nor was Winchester,
the match-making Warwick, left out
in the cold, for he was fascinated by
the charms of Miss Essling, with
whom he waited at her brother’s
wedding, and she was not insensible
to his accomplishments. At an early
day they followed suit to be made
happy in the - mystic union of two
hearts in one.

Walter Mortemar.
This note struck Ella with amaze
suitable occasion. Hence, Mortemar
could, safely, apply to Winchester,
who, by the by, was a little more
than a year his senior, and, if not su
perior, in intellect, had mingled more
with men, and, enjoyed advantages
somewhat greater.
Winchester listened, patiently to
Mortemar’s recital, and, at its con
clusion observed :
“I see, readily, the difficulties of
your situation. You would now link
your destiny with Julia’s !”
“Yes, if I had my choice I would
give all that I am in soul, or may
have in fortune, to Julia Landon.
But, in saying that, I would not dis
parage Ella, whom, next to Julia,
I would prefer of all the sex.”
“Your admiration, of Ella," said
Winchester “is not greater than
mine. With all her gaiety and fash-

ENDOWMENT INSURANCE AT
LIFE RATES.
Iiow Premiums—Definite Con
tracts.
Tiie Cotton States Lite Insurance Company of
3Iacan, Ga., desirous of meeting the demand of
the insuring public for low rates, and contracts
that can be understood by all, offers tho
Endownieut-Life-Rate Policy,
with confidence that an examination of the plan
i is all that is necessary to commend it to the
favor of all desiring insurance.
This plan secures two objects :
1st. It provides for those dependent upon us
in tiie event of oeaih.
2d. It provides tor oar old age in case we at
tain a stipulated age.
The iow rate of premium, aud tho fact that
the insurance's payable within the ordinary pe
riod of life, makes it
The Most Desirable form of Pol
icy now offered to the Public,
The premium is a9 low as the usual life pre
mium where the insurance is payable only at
death, or the age of ninety, aud the time for
payment of the insurance ranges from the ages
of til to 73 years, or at death if prior. This pe
riod may be shortened at any time, at the op
tion of the insured, by additional payments for
that purpose.
To illustrate the difference between this plan j
and the usual endowments, the following is j
sufficient:
Iu all Mutual Companies the ordinary pre- j
miam at age 41, payable at age CS, is §12 75 !
per $1,000.
The Premium ou Endowment-Life-Rate Plan i
at age 41, payable at age G8, is $32 47 per thou- !
sand dollars. Showing a saving cf Twenty- I
Five per cent, to the Policy holder.
Reasons for insuring on the
Enddwiuent-Life-Rate Plan :
1st. It gives the insurance at the lowest possi
ble cost.
2d. It provides for your family in case of death.
3d. It provides for yourself in old age.
•1th. There can be no loss. In case premiums
should be discontinued, paid-up insurance is
given for the amount paid in premiums.
•’tli. It is better than a savings bank. The
first premium paid secures a fortune, and if pay
meats are continued the accumulations and
amount insured will be much more than could
be earned by the most fortunate savings bank.

Beauty and truth are admirably uni

characteristics. I would say the same
of Julia. Were your affections con
centrated upon either, you would
lose nothing in gaining her, but for
years, almost from boyhood, you have
made love to Julia Landon. She
accepted it even in her early girl

and ripened with her years. That

but feeling too sick to go, he order
ed mo to put it up. Just as I was
about to do so a young friend of
his, rode up on horeback, and see
ing how matters were, he asked to be
allowed to use the horse and buggy
as he w ished to visit a young lady in
the neighborhood and take her to
ride.”
“He made the visit I suppose,”
said Mrs. Egerton.
“Yes Ma’m, and I guess ho was
sorry ho made it from something
that happened on the road. I don’t
know exactly what it was, but, I
heard him say it made him feel migh
ty bad as some ladies come along
in a carriage and saw it. He was
riding tbe young lady out.”
“You probably know his name,”
said Mrs. Egerton.
“Yes Ma m, but it might give of
fence for me to mention his name.”
After some consultation with Ella,
Mrs. Egerton handed the servant a
note, in which Ella stated, that she
would be at home all tho next day
and would be pleased to see Mr.
Mortemar.
CHAPTER IV.
The Trick Takes—A Consultation
on the Situation.
The next day Mortemar called,
promptly at tbe appointed hour
Fortified, as he was, he was as serene
as a smoking Turk, and apparently
as sinless as a seraph. An elderly
country woman who lived not far
from Mr. Mortemar’s and often mar
keted in the town, had preceded him
that morning in making a call at
Mrs. Egerton’s. She was quite com
municative and, spoke of a brother
of Mr. Mortemar, senior, who died
without having married, and, hinted Ella’s answer.”

cherished, in the depths of her soul.
It is a part of her existence. To

her life.”
Y'ou speak uf a change in Julia’s
looks, manners, and deportment, bor
dering on tho supernatural. It is
akin to the miraculous. It is the
work of love's inspiration. She is
not easily jealous, she heard of
your Avanderings; yet claimed you
i still, as her own. Love, in danger,
aroused those inherent qualities
j which'had been reposing in her quiet
; and undisturbed confidence. It was
, the key which unlocked the store
house of her powers. It transformed
her suddenly, into a great actress,
, with nature as It r model. The new
j light which encircled her, was like
the light of a new sui • She resol

She was successful. A single inter
view dispersed the wandering dark
ness of your mind. The magic power
| of her excited spirit*, rapt yours in
I ecstacy. You look to the past and
\ wonder no longer that you loved her

1 tellect, enchantment in her person,
; and, descending from her heroic em-
| prise, she allowed you to sip nectar-

i is love—a foretaste of heaven upon
j earth.
This seeming miracle is prophetic,

j sed that her charges were false. Win-
; Chester quiekty made known these
developments to Ella, and Essling
soon made his appearance with a
calm, high heart, from which transi-
i tory woes had fled like eclipsing
shadows from the sun’s bright face.
Ella had encouraged Mortemar
and it grieved her to disappoint his
hopes. Still she had not accepted
his proposal and reasoned as the
world does, that it is the acknowled
ged right of any lady to say yes, or
no, when invited to stand in t ridal
robes at the altar of Hymen. Be
sides, she had joyfully accepted Es-
sling’s proposal to lead her there,
and she was now happy that she
could keep holy her former vows,
and make amends for the great
wrong inflicted upon him. Her heart
fluttered with the strife of thronging
thoughts—self reproach—his unwa
vering love, and tho raptures of her
own devoted soul.
Winchester had advised Mortemar,
for the sake of consistency, to visit
Ella the day previous to the expected
presence of Essling. He well un
derstood his part in the play, and
made his appearance as gay as a lark

their clear-cut pinnacles. Six miles
from Hanging Rock, we reach the
Mormon fortifications, where 1,000
feet above the bed of the canyon, the
Mormons rolled masses of rock to
the edge of the precipice to hurl
down upon the U. S. troops, sent a-
! of such a submission, but the cry of
; Federal interference raised by tho
j enemies of the measure frightened
j them from their purpose. Subsequent
j events have shown how unfounded
| were their fears. Since last January
three Southern States have framed
a new organic law without being
I interfered with by the General Gov-
i ermnent. Instead of these con
ventions injuring the jiarty they have
actually added to its strength. The
features of the new constitutions
have bet n admired by Democrats
and Republicans alike and the
suspicious North has been shown
that though tho people of the South
are in power they have made no at
tempt to unsettle tho existing con
dition of affairs—have not sought to
deprive the colored man of any of
his rights or to make any discrimi
nation between white and black citi
zens. A Constitutional Convention
can assemble in Georgia to-morrow
and not a word will be heard at the
North except words of approval if
the Convention does its work well.
If the Legislature passes the bill,
the election can be held in tho Spring,
the Convention can assemble in tho
Summer and the Constitution can be
voted oq>at the regular election in
October.—Chronicle Sentinel.

at a report, which she believed to be
true, that he left a son whose resent- !
blance to Walter Mortemar was re
markable. This young man she said,
“was often at Mr. Mortemar’s house.”
Mrs, Egerton conferring with Ella,
expressed the opinion, that, this son, {
of Walter’s uncle, was the identical
youth whom they met, with Miss
Landon, and that, the use of the
handkerchief, which they had attribu
ted to Walter as a means of conceal
ing his identity, was used by him to
hide Lis blushes at having been seen
indulging in the luxury of embracing
and kissing a girl on a public road
Thus was Mortemar made an “in
nocent in spite of his guilt, and,
Ella felt, even pained, at the thought
of having so deeply wronged him.
She was prepared to believe his
statement, and, to substitute his sup
posed cousin for himself in the ride
with Julia. Still, the discomposure,

without alluding to his proposal or
seeking an answer.
“A pleasaut gentleman he is,”
thought Ella. “One so light of heart,
can bear disappointment in love with
out the danger of suicide.”
Esslin'g arrived on the following
day. Hope like a new sun extin
guished the torments of the past in
its warmth and light.
Eila was now as anxious to get
rid of Mortemar as he was to get rid
of her. Good fortune, as Mortemar
deemed it, soon placed them both on
a dead level, of imprudence, criminal
ity or whatever it may be termed.
Essling called upon Ella and
the light of reciprocal love rested
upon their hearts as tenderly as that
of the commingled amethyst and rose
which lingers on a snow clad s«m-
mit w'hen the sunset sleeps ; but it
differed in this, the intense warmth
of its rays. They fell upon Es
sling’s and Ella’s hearts and enfolded
them with new joy, fidelity, and hap
piucss.

To the left are mountains timbered

The late unfortunate affaii in Au
gusta has called forth the following
well-timed remarks from the Chroni
cle <6 Sentinel:
“The recent melancholy occurrenca
near this city affords another illus
tration of the folly as well as the
wickedness of duelling. We know
nothing of (he merits of this case.
We express no opinion as to tiie
; right and wrong of the quarrel. Our
feeling, a feeling shared, we believe,
by the great mass of the community,
is one of regret that such a thing
. should have happened, no matter
what the attending circumstances.
A duel does not settle anything, can
not settle anything. It does not
vindicate a right nor caa it redress
a wrong. The challenging party ?is
usually the person who is aggrieved
or who considers himself aggrieved,
yet the chances are even that the
! challenging party will be the sufferer.
Whether he kills or is killed, noth>»
ing is proven. Duelling can do no
good. It does do great harm. The
laws are ample for its suppression,
but the Jaws are powerless unless
they are sustained by public opinion.
Wo hope that the time will soon
come when duelling will be unknown,
and when honor will find protection
in some other forum. Tho evil can
only be corrected by a healthly
public sentiment, and such a senti
ment we hope to see arrayed against
it. It is useless to argue against it,
for the subject does not admit of
argument. It is useless to employ
the weapons of logic; public opinion,
and public opinion alone, must furn
ish the remedy.”
Persiai} fanners.
Dr. Brown, in “The Races of Man
kind,” speaking of the Persian Court-
officials, says: No official can be sure
of his life; it lies in the hands of the
king as much as does the life of the
meanest of his subjects. The death
of an official is determined, the
warrant for his execution is made
out, and an officer is dispatched to
execute it. The man rides as fast
as horses pressed into his service
can carry him until lie arrives at the
Weber River plunging madly from
side to side, as if in frantic attempts
to escape from the horrible abyss.
Now it tumbles headlong over some
rocky ledge, against the solid crag;
then whirls in a boiling eddy as if
angry that it could not break through.
Again it repeat the plunge, and stops ! city where the doomed man lives,
a moment in a sullen black pool, in He exhibits his mandate to the Govs
seeming amazement at its own ef- ernor, or the chief man of the city,
forts. Again it dashes onward, throw- : and commands him to assist him.
As soon as the door of the victim’s
bouse is opened, the executioner
rushes in, and drawing his scimitar,
falls on the unfortunate man, with
the exclamation, “It is tho king’s
command,” cuts him down and
strikes off' his head. It is rarely that
ingjup a shower of spray as if in sheer
desperation it had determined to
submit to itsjenforced imprisonment.

Some days subsequent to the inter
