HALLLTX A His hair Avar ivliite as fttiow, but his round visaffi* was ruddy still, And liis black. bead-like eyes glittered as with the tire of youth. “Captain Duiuare will you never prow old.” sahl bis friemls, w hich saying interprctril, meant tliat he would lie lull- ami hearty to the last, when ilealli wonhl take him siiddcn- ly, with no worrying prelude of lengthened helpless decline, as might reasonably be expected, as lie had al ready passed Ids allotted lerin of three score years amt ten. The beautiful girl at his side was known aa his daughter and prospec tive heiress. Virginia Dulnare was shapely in figure, and not loo tall. Her features were exquisite, tier lips scarlet, her eyes large and brown, and her silky Itiafr like a fleece of gold. Just now the young and flushed face was hidden on flic old man's knee. “l)o you really love Hie poor fel low whom they* rail Hugh Girard?” asked Captain Dulnare, in a fond, disappointed whisper. “Very dearly, papa,” was the smoth ered reply. With both his white withered hands he lifted the dainty, blushing face, and looked steadfastly into the big, wistful, brown eyes. “Virgie," lie said, in those Arm, stern tones that no man ever dared to disobey, “it is my wish and my will that you marry Sextus Weldon. You think von love another, hut al your age love is lint a lightning flash of passion ami fancy. I know best what will make you happy. There fore I have chosen your husband for yon.” “I distrust and despise Sextus Wel don.” returned the girl, passionately, springing to her feet. “It is vour money, not inc. he cares for.” A strange look wavered over the round, ruddy vissage of the old gen tleman. “Another romantic hallucination my child," he said. “The young man idolizes you. Do you think your old father docs not know the signs of love? And, my pretty lamb, Sextus is very rich, and 1 would like to have you the wife of a wgrtliy man when I am gone.” “I had rather he poor ami content ed. papa,” sobbed tlie child. Then the old man's eyes grew stormy with the anger she feared. “You ungrateful; girl! how un grateful you will never know until I am dead. Have I not been kind to you? Havel ever asked you to do anything that was not for "your wel fare? Have von not been happiest when yon pleased me most ? What i.- the experience of twenty compared to that of seventy ? Virginia, promise me that von will give up llu-h Gi- ihrcttlasu rar d i ai id pledge yourself to Sextus Weldon when he "asks you ?” “I promise,” answered the awed and weeping girl, and then with a tender kiss Captain Dulnare sent her away, being well pleased. What varied and momentous events are oftime crowded into a single hour of a lifetime. Before the sun of that day set, Vir ginia Dulnare wore on one lily-white, rose-tipped linger a magnificent dia mond ring—the symbol of her be trothal to Sextus Weldon. And scarcely had the cold, yellow circle! grown warm on her "finger before Hugh Girard came for the derisive answer he had expected for many weeks. There were passionate words on the bearded lips ot Ilie handsome, blue-eyed man. hut a single gesture of that sealed hand slopped their ut terance. He looked into her face. That face was icy white, but the brown eyes were like stars. “I understand, Virginia,” lie said slowly; “they have sold yon for gold You loved me, hut yon were weak. God help you, darling!” Anil so Hugh Giraril went Ids way, and Virginia Dulnare fell oil her knees, weeping piteous tears in the twilight dusk. A strange sound aroused her. They were calling lier to her falli- er's chamber. Trembling, shivering and heart sick, with a strange, portent ions dread heavy on her heart, she obeyed the summons. Ca plain Dulnare sat as she had left liim. in his easy chair; hut Ilie fro»t-wliite locks that straggled over the crimson velvet, flamed in a blood less, rigid face. Captain Dulnare was dead. There was a mournful time—Un necessary inquest, the death watch and the rather pompous funeral—hut It passed as all things of nngui*h*Hiid delight must pass in this world of chances. Then came the reading of the dead man's will, and Ilie settlement of Id financial affairs. And with these gross mailers of business and lucre, there came to the pale, stricken.Virginia, a terrible dis- closure. Captain Dulnare's large liahili'ies, secured hv heavy mortgages, and Id* floating debts, swallowed up every thing. The heiress in prospective was terly penniless. But that was the smallest sorrow For by papers of proof left, Vir ginia was declared to he a child of adoption. .She had been left when baby on Hie rich man’s doorstep, and he had reared her as his own. And after three weeks of grievou embarrassment, Virginia was thrust out into lie: world with no hope ex cept what she had fixed upon -Sexto Weldon. He only came once, and Ids tones were altered and supercilious. No mailer what he said. But Virginia's sweet face flushed, and she tore the heliollial ring from her shaking hand and gave it hark to one who was not loth to receive i\ Then -lie went into the world win her bread—not an easy task for one luxuriously reared. She thought she eould do dre making uieely; hut lo every store and shop to wliieli she applied she was greeted with Ilie one answer: “Work is rather siaek just now, and of eoiir-e, what we have lo gite is given to Hie employee- who have been with u- longest!’ It was from the doors of one these palatial places that slur letleri d one day, weak from hunger, and on the marble slops sank down in a deathly swoon. A lady ill velvet and «ilk with plumes of gray sweeping over her silvery hair, luid just nm-ended from lier coupe. She saw Ilie prnslrnle form, and looking into tin- drawn, while face, stnrtcd. ut this child into the coupe mol rive home.' she said, abruptly, l» the liveried groom. The man obeyed, thinking Dial of all Ilie mad freaks ot his honored mistress this was Hie maddest. So, when Virginia awoke from her long still swoon, she found herself in quaint, old-fashioned eliamhei-, and not alone. Where am I. ami who are you ?' she asked, faintly, of Ilie stalely wo man. who bent over the conch. You are with one who will never forsake you, my child, even if you had known sin and shame before I found on,' said the swecl-fared woman, holding close the quivering hands. I have never sinned; hut I have been shamed to Hie soul by the frowns of poverty,' answered Virginia, while tbe hectic grew holler on her cheeks. *ltc calm, dear, ami listen to what have lo tell you. When I first saw you lying like one dead on those cold granite steps, I loved you. You looked, Virginia, as my husband looked when lie lay in his rolliu. 1 found your iiamc marked on your clothing. It was the name of a iitllc liild who was stolen from me years and years ago. While you have been yiug here ill I have made a happy discovery. Can you guess what il it?' Virginia could not mistake the ex pression of tlie fond, sweet handsome face bent so close to her own. You arc my mother,’ she said. I am vour niollicr, my darling,' answered the lady ; ‘ami henceforth, for Virginia Champncy, there shall he no more toil nor trouble, if I can prevent it.’ And only for Hie memory of Hugh irard, she would have been quite happy. As the daughter of one of the wealthiest anil aristocratic ladies of the city she was perhaps more admir ed and sought for than Virginia Dul nare hail ever been. And so it happened that one day Sextus Weldon came lo woo her. It was very cruel for you to refuse me as you did. Why did you break our engagement, Virgie? lie asked, with mock sorrow anil humility. ‘I want you for my wife, dear.’ •And with scorn in lier eyes anil disdain on her lips the girl rejected Ids suit. •Tlie impudence of Ilie fellow is amusing.’ laughed Mrs. Champncy. When Capt. Dulnare chose a husband for you he should have chosen more wisely. I.tliink I shall he a better match-maker, \ irgic.’ Are you so anxious to lose me?' asked the girl, with humorous »«/- ete Mrs Champncy smoothed her grey resses, soberly. ‘Virginia, you must marry some time, yon know. But that is" no rea son why you shall not still remain daughter. 1 only hope that your future husband may prove as good and tender and faithful as your fath er was. Anil now put on "your li.-it and shawl, I am going to take you to seethe hero of a romance, lie is the son of one of the old friends of my schoolgirl days. Once upon atiuu- we made a foolish compact, that our first sou and daughter should become husband and wife. ‘Oh!’ gasped Virgie, thinking of Hugh Girard,and wondering, with a shudder, if she was to lie t lie victim of match-making all her life. ‘Well, this poor fellow fell in love with a beautiful girl, who loved him, but she rejected him for a richer lev in his despair lie left his native place, and in California— that land of gold—he made a fortune. But with money came misery also. He Calm- home, and, it issaid. to die; Virgie. you arc so sweet and winning that I think you can caleh this desolate heart in the response, you know.— Then tlie old compart shall not have been made in vain.’ Virginia listened with a sinking heart. I can’t marry this man unless In- asks me," she returned, bitterly. lie will ask you," was the decisive responc, as the lug, piebald roan wa- rcitied up before a fashionable hoard ing house. Mr-. Chauipney led her dauglilei ton beautiful room on Hie second floor. ten,* she said, pausing before the door, Hull was slightly ajar. Virgie, my lost love! Virgie—oh, my Virgie!' The color flew into Hie white check* of Ilie astonished girl. God bless you for this, mother! she said, rushing into the room when Hugh Girard lay sick almost null leatli. ‘I am here, Hugh !' she cried. What words w~*e said in that chamber of illness i. * -q lie told. Virginia came out \*- ball an hour with a contented si, on In: sweet young lips. He will live!' said lier mother, kissing tin; blushing face. ‘Yes,’ answered Virgie, ‘lie will live for me.’ Ami somebody who witnessed llu- grand wedding that occurred a uioiitl later spoke of the lovely* wide, Vir ginia, as a heroine of romance.

Political Points. HON*. NELSON TIFT. lk‘rri«‘ii County New-*.] Some time since the Albany Ad vertiser mentioned this gentleman's name as a suitable one for Congres sional honors in the Second District. It did not press his claims at all, hut it might have done so with much propriety. Col.

We hope lo sec him put in nomination. KF.f.miox in POLITICS. Christianity has never injured any institution, political or otherwise, or ganized for the people's good.
