I## 48 ” ONLY KATE- Mr. Fairfield sat in ihespacious draw ing room of the hiaverstone mansion, patiently awaiting the young lady he liad calied-io see. He had met Miss Haverstone a few months before at Saratoga, and as she was a very stylish, and, at the same lime, an agreeable young lady, he had become unite intimate with her. This was the first call he had ven tured to make since his return to the city, and he was wondering how she would receive him. He did not send his card to her, because he wished to surprise her—pleasantly ns he hoped. “Be sure and keep out of way,” he heard a sharp voice say. “I should be ashamed out of my wits if any one saw you limping around !■” There was no response to that in junction, and, a moment later, Miss Haverstone entered. She was a tail queenly young girl, who seemed boru to command, arid yet there was a soft, bewildering light in her brown black eyes. “Miss Haverstone !” he said, rising u p- . . ■, v' ; . “Mr. Fairfield l” she exclaimed.— “Is it possible that it is yon? I am so happy to meet you once again !” Their greeting over, they settled down into a quiet little chat, and Mr. Fairtield was very n uch surprised to bud how swiftly lime had tied when he arose to go. She invited him to call again, and he accepted her invitation, and called frequently. He was her escort to the opera, the atre, Imlis, in fact, to every pla^e of amusement. In that way several mouths passed, and he was meditating asking Miss Haverstone to accompa ny him through life. One evening he called rather earlier than usual, and went into the music room. Somebody was playing a quaint little song and singing in a soft, sweet voice. He had no doubt as to who the somebody must be, so silently step ped over to her side. “Amelia,” lie said, gently. The figure on the stool turned round suddenly’. “Pardon me, I am only Kate !” she ejaculated. “Pardon me,” he returned. “I have made a mistaken 1 was quite sure tint it was Miss Haverstone, as i was not aware that shs had any lady visitors.” Mr. Farfield is rich, and jday,” he said ; and Amelia gave a ht- world. What more do 1 j tie pleasant start, requ re i r ' i “Hid he propose pa ?” “But he may require something else,” j “\es, but so differently to what 1 “only Kate” responded, warmly. He'expected. He asked tor Kale’s hand, seemed so good that I do not know J net yours!” notion now a man ofiht ?” how you can he!p but love him ! 1 would worship him, sister.” “Indeed ! Perhaps you have fallen in love with him yourself. If you have, I wish you could hear a lew of the re marks he made about the ridiculous way you limped out of the room that night! I declare it served you right, though, it you will persist in going where you arc forbidden.” “Hush, Amelia !” said another voice. “How can you hurt Kale’s feelings in such a cruel, uncalled-for manner ?— See—she is crying. Poor child, she has trouble enough, without you add ing a grain more ; and to think how t.ha r trouble came upon her ! Once for all, Amelia, 1 tell vou, you must give up going to 'hat bail. If you lake the money for another dress, we cannot have Kate doctored.” “She can wait,” was the pettish re sponse. “Mr. Fairfield will surely soon propose, and then I will be off your hands.” Amelia, l am shocked !” was the re- But Faiifieid waited to hear no more. He had, m fact, already heard too much for Miss Haverstpne’s future an- I ttcipations. “Saved !” he muttered. “This vis it was a special plan of Providence ! j “Say nothing of my call,” he continued, I addressing the servant—w hose ill con- jcealed glee betrayed she knew what was going on in there—and slipped a note into her hand. “You’re a gentleman,” she ejacu lated ; “and 1’in glad yo’ve found dial baggage out. She knocked Miss Kate —the sweety, purty angel—down stairs, when she was mad, and hurt her hack. The mistress wants to take her to Paris, to the doctors, hut t l, at vixen won’t let then, until she’s mar ried !” “Which will never be,” he growled, to himself, “if everybody thinks as I do now.” He meditated. He made up his mind at last. He was a bache lor, he was rich, he had no relatives, he was independent, and he would do as he pleased ! He went over to Haverstone home before Ins usual visiting hour. “Tell Miss Kale 1 wish to see her,” he said to the servant. She laughed outright, she clapped T am not a visitor,” she responded, j her hands, as she carried the message. “Kate’s! Impossible! You’ve made a mistake!” she ejaculated. “None whatever. He wants io mar ry her immediately, and lake her to France.” “And you knew it !” Amelia ex~ claimed, turning to her sister. “That was who your visitor was last night, you sly mil x! You’ve been lying to me, you’ve ” “Amelia, hush,,’ said her father, sternly. “Last night a as only the sec ond time he ever saw poor Kale. He told me" the whole circumstance him self. He called here to see you yes terday morning, and overheard you venting your rage on your mother and sister. He was disgusted with you, and equally charmed with Kale in pro portion to the contrast between you.— Piease take warning.” She sprang from the table and ran to her room, w here she had a violent attack of hysterics. The prize she had tried to win was lost. Mrs- Haverstone gathered her lame darling into her arms, and wept. She was not afraid to tiust her tutare in George Fairfield’s hands. He was loo noble to be aught else than a kind hus band. Four weeks laier, “only K ile” was married, and started for France. A year later, she came home per fectly restored to health and strength. Amelia was still single, but she vouch safed no word of welcome lo Mr.®. Fair- field. THE DmiOM) NBCKLACB. A Princess who Did not Gel It—And the Ladtj Who Did—One of Victoria's Sous in-Law. I am Auieiia’s lame sister.” “Oil! a thousand pardons !” He could say no more. He was wondering why Miss Amelia Haver stone had never spoken about this in valid slsici. It could not fie that she was indifferent to her. Amelia’s heart was too tender for that ! “Amelia will be here in a few mo ments, sir,” she added, as she look up j blushing, her two little crulches and leaned heav ily on thein- Belbre he could speak she had left the room and he was alone. Miss Haverstone entered. She apol ogised for keeping him wailing so long and scented all sweetness. “I was not aware that you had a sis ter before, Miss Haverstone,” he ob served. “No? Did I never mention her to you ?” she queried. “I thought 1 had. And vet, 1 feel so sad when 1 think ol her affliction,that I hate lo allude to her at all.” There was a wonderful pa thos in her voice which touched him. He had not misjudged Amelia—it was j only the extreme sorrow which she felt J that had kept her lips from speaking ol Kate. He often went to the house after that, but he never esught a glimpse ot | tiie little lame figure, whose mournful ; son" had rung in his ears ever since. j “1 would like to sec your sister,” he i ventured lo observe one evening.—I “Why does she keep herself so seclud- j ed ?” “Been ust response. “I have, tried to induce her to come in here ; but in vain.” He had lo lie satisfied with that re ply, though he felt a great curiosity to see iier. He imagined, by the outline of her lace which had been partly de fined in the twilight, that she was pri l- iy, of course, hut not so pretty as Amelia. The next morning he called again. He had some ne.w opera tickets, and he would just stop in a moment on his way down town. “You need not announce me,” he saitl to the servant. “I hear voices in the breakfast-room, and I will go there and surprise them.” The servant gave a mysterious smile apd muttered : “Much good your surprise will do if Miss Amelia is ranlin as usual.” He did not notice her ominous words hut kept on “the even tenor of his ways.” He put his hand on the door-knob, and then he hesitated. He did noi wish to enact the role of a listener, but he had caught jhe mention of bis own name, and he had a little pardonable curiosity. “D%you love Mr. Fairfield:” he heard a soft voice ask. “I’m giaddhe witch asked that ques tion for me,” he muttered to himself, as die waited impatiently for his Ame lia’s reply. “Love !” she sneered. “W T ho has anything to do with that old-fangled Miss Kate was dear to her heart. “To see her,” Am-lia ejaculated.— “Who can it be ? Be sure and set out of the parlor before Fairfield comes!” With that injunction ringing in her ears, she went into the parlor. Mr. Fairfield arose to meet her. Mr. Fairfield i” she stammered, y e 1 brooked at her- Miss Amelia’s j beauty dwindled by the comparison he made. This little creature, with her I abundance of soft, golden hair, and blue eves, anti wistful face, was tar more beautiful than Amelia Haver stone had ever been. “Yes, Miss Kate.” “Did you ask lor me !” ‘ 1 did. Sit down here beside me. I have something to say to you.” She obeyed him, silently. She was trembling with mortification. This man had ridiculed her on account of her misfortune, she believed, and now siie was doomed to sit beside him. “1 know why you shrink from me,” he said, softly. Very unintentionally, I overheard a little of your family con versation, tiffs morning; and was hap py to have your sister’s true character revealed lo' me.” “Mr. F:fi fit Id,” she ejaculated, “im possible !” “But not impossible—a blessed ie- aiiiy. 1 find that the shock does not hurt me. 1 never loved your sister, I . • • „ i was only bewildered bv her for a time, he,* MMmv.,, wasHer; BulI|inil |lm , ^ -, (>ve some b,.dy else. Can )'ou guess who it is? She locked up frankly into his face. Iiow should she know ? She had never been out in society with Mr. Fairfield, and knew nothing ol his preferences. “Shall I tell you ?” “If you please.” “Yourself. She caught her hand quickly from him, and tears sprang into her e>es. “This is loo cruel a jest, she cried. ‘It rnv affliction has. made me appear ridiculous in your eyes, you need not mock me.” “You misunderstand me.” he said, gently. “I mean what I say. 1 love you loo dearly to mock you. I want lo marry you, and take you to Europe with me, and get you cured there.” She hid her face and wept; not tears of sorrow, but rather of joy. The great good gift of life, which she had covet ed, had come to her at last. “Do your tears mean yes” he asked ; and, though he received no response, he was satisfied. He left h r. She went to her own room, and lie went home. Miss Amel ia waited that evening in vain lor Mr. Fairfield, and woiulerod what could have detained hirn. He did not call the next morn ng. and she was feverishly impatient. But Mr. Haverstone, when he returned home to dine, was all radient with smile, “Mr. Fa rfield was to see me to CURIOUS MODE OF CATCHING FISH. Overtaken by night, when traveling through the Jura mountains in France many yours ago, we stopped for supper and a night’s lodgings at a small way- side inn of rather dilapidated appear ance, under some apprehension as to how we should tare there ; but the cordial greeting of the landlord, whose fat, rubicund face, and moist, twinkling blue eye, gave promise of good inter- taininent, and soon dispelled oui fears. One of his first questions was whether we liked trout lor sapper fresh from the brook. Of course we did; but to our astonishment—it bein" now pitch in r» , „• t .1 i i t , .t 7; t l , I Her Koval Higunes dark—we learned that the fish had yet to be caught. Being an ardent angler, and curious to learn how the tiling was to be done, upon his invitation we ac companied him to the scene of action, a brawling mountain brook within a few yards of his door. Belore s'artine i he took from a closet, where it had been slowed away, an ordinary glass- globe lantern, with two long tin tubes fixed to it on either side, through which the flame was supplied with air.— Fighting it, he then took from his pock et a common pruning knile with a hawk’s-bill a serpe ; he was now pre pared for the fray. A walk of t A’o or n r f> - - . . L ..j I nuce ot rrussia, iny husband three minutes brought us to tne side ot I;. ;i , ’ J a deep, dark pool, which, with the glare of the lamp dancing over it like a “will o’-thc-wisp,” looked like the bot tomless pit. With the queer-looking lantern in his left hand, and lhe ^riglit armed with the formidable knife, the landlord seat ed himself on a fiat projecting rock whence the descent was seen to the bottom of the pool. He then slowly thusrt the still burning lamp into the deep water, where it looked like a great glowing kuhiuoor. Holding it thus for about a minute, lie raised it evenly and slowly to the surface, and around, it to our delight and astonish ment, were fifteen or twenty fish of dif Cerent siz^s pressing their noses against the glass as if eager lo get at the light. Then, selecting the best fish, our host adroitly tapped four of them on the head with the bill of his knife. They turned on their sides dead without a flutter. Tims in less time than it takes to write the account we had four prime half pound trout, which, with the addition of an omelette au lard, such as the French only can make a mound ol perfumed golden mountain butter, and hot lie of Baune, covered with the dust ol a quarter of a century we had a supper worthy to record in Briilat-Sjvarin’s immortal Physiologic du Gout. 'Phis pleasant little' adven ture at the wayside inn was recalled to our memory by a statement in our exchanges. It seems that a light is quite as attractive to the fish of the great deep as to their cousins of the mountain brook. The professional fishermen on the coasts ot France, hav ing recently discovered this fact, are now making draughts o? fish attracted tolhernels by powerful submerged light. [ Tuf, Eield Farm. The Crown Piincess of Prussia, Victoria’s eldest daughter, inherits more of her mother’s traits 1 Ban any of her other decendanis, among which is a jealous virtue not to be despised, and something of a temper. She recently, went to her jeweler to purchase a dia motid necklace, and selected a very beautiful one, something quite new, but noticed that the head of the estab lishment, who, of course, was serving her, tried in vain lo suppress a peculi ar smile. The Princess, always ex citable, flushed up and asked haughti ly if there was any reason why she could not purchase the necklace she had selected. “It already belongs to your Royal Highness,” the shopkeeper was started into replying, “though 1 was not authorized to let your Royal Highness know it. It was ordeied some lime ago.” “Who ordered it? the Prince ? Oh ! now 1 sec—my birthday is in a lew days ; no doubt he intends this as his birthday gilt. Be sure you do not mention my visit here and 1 shall say nothing to the Prince.” The Princess was touched by the thoughtful compliment from her hus band, who, in those days, was neither noted for his thoughtfulness nor his tenderness, and eagerly awaited her birthday in silence. 'The morning came, and numberless cadenvx, accord ing to German custom, were carried into her bedchamber ; among them one that bore her husband’s handwrit ing on the covering. Siie tore off the wrapping trembling, almost weeping, and refusing assistance. The little casket contained a very handsome dia- m jml „bracelet—no necklace What could it mean t Luke the Queen, the Prince Royal isa martyr to jealous rage arid her fury may be imagined. But to discover what she was determined to learn she hid her rage, saying to her self, “A necklace like that would on ly be a fitting cadeaux to some one who goes lo Court—l shall see it !” And she did ! At the next Court ball the searching eyes of the Crown Princess did not permit any one to pass unnotic ed. At last there entered a young and beautiful lady—a well-known belle; she wore :ir:t necklace ! The eyesof w flashed as though giving back the lig!“ of she diamonds when her glance rested upon il. She walked deliberately up to the lady and asked her, in at me qui:e audible to those near, “Who gave you that ■ necklace ?” The lady colored crim son, hesitated, stammered, and failed to reply. “Who made you a present of those exquisite diamonds ?” deman ded the Princess, varying her question. The lady, now quite confident from the manner of the Crown Princess that she knew ihe donor, and there was no mercy to be expected, stoo 1 silent. ‘ It was given to you by the Crown Deny it it you can—but you cannot. I now leave this palace, and I will never more enter it until you have been openly forbidden to do so.” With that she swept out of the salon. Of I course the lair necklace-wearer was i then and there dismissed in disgrace. him badly that day, crossed the river next morning, destroyed the bridge, aud used up Shields more successfully than he had Fremont the day previ ous. The New Orleans Picayune adds : “A similar anecdote is related oi Gen. Polk.” LOVE AND LAUDANXJM. The only son of a very wealthy gentleman recently fell in love with a pretty actress of the Boufie Paris- iens. He offered her jewels-and mon ey in oilier forms, and expecled as easy a conquest as women of her condition generally are. But .she^said : “Halt! I will wear, you jewels and fake your money, but if you ( want anything fioin me, you must bnng Mr. Mayor and Mr. Parson to coriflnn your declarations of eternal love.” The fast fellow was Stunned by these objec tions,which are not often heard behind the foot lights. When he recovered from the blow, the love, which was but a caprice, became an all-engrossing passion. He thought he had but to stoop to conquer. He found Conquest impossible except upon terms which he had thought loo hard to be accepta ble under any circumstances. Obstacles irritated his passion, and it demanded gratification at any price. He con sented io marriage. His father's ap proval however, was necessary. He asked it, and met with a blunt refusal. Then ha besought the girl to strike priest and Mayor out of l.ei conditions. She obstinately refused.
