A Revenge.
Grace Clifford dropped a rose from
her dress, and Arteveld picked it up.
“May I keep this
She smiled assent.
“Are you going to dance to-night ?”
“With you,” she answered, smiling.
“It is a wallz they are playing,”
with a quick gla.ice into her beautiful
eyes.
“Well, let us waltz.”
A flush rose to Arteveld’s cheek,
an-1 he trembled as he took her lightly
upon his arm. Was she his, then ?—
It was only the previous day that he
had heard her say :
“I will never wallz but with the man
I am to marry.”
They circled to the smooth measure
as if they were swimming upon a sea
of sound, and Arteveld knew nothing,
saw nothing, but the beautiful face
against his breast.
The strains died away. He drew
her into the conservatory. A great
oleander blossomed pink above their
heads as he whispered :
“Grace, that waltz—what does it
mean!”
“That I love to waltz,” she answer
ed, shaking her shimmering fan in his
earnest face. “Pray don’t keep me
hear, there is a draft, and ”
“Grace, one moment.”

“And then.”
“1 shall go home. This is the fourth
pariv I have been lo this week, and I
piomised guardy I would not slay late.
There is the piano, and Madame go
ing to sing. Pray come !”
He gave her his arm silenced and
disappointed. They found their way
through the crowd to the singers,where
Grace listened and he —did nut.
“Who is that tragical-looking fellow
with cousin Grace?” whispered Maud
Gifford, to her escort, Professor Stein.
“I do not know.”
“What a dark face he has !”
“A dangerous face,” murmured the
Professor. “I fancy Miss Grace is
playing with edged tools.”
Arteveld got word with Grace again
when she went to her carriage.
“l’ray let me speak with you to
morrow.”
“Yes, come.”
She drew up the carriage window.
The wheel ground sharpley against the
curbstone in turning.
Arteveld watched the vehicle out of
sight.
He went to the Magnolias the next
day—the splendid Gifford place on the
outskirts of the citv. Had he been
more world wise, he might have known
that the heiress of the Magnolias
would never marry the penniless North
ern artist who had come South to paint
the scenes of her nativity. But he was
young, filled with ambition, and in love.
He did not feel poor.
The servant showed him into a little
pink-and-goid room. He remembered
afterward how an oriole in the win
dow piped in its cage.
Grace came in quietly. She might
have been a Greek statue, for any
warmth of manner she showed. A chill
came over Arteveld’® ardor as he look
ed at her.
She wore a robe of while cashmere,
buttoned from throat to feel with sprays
of pink cord. A litile golden comb
held the waves of dark hair from her
cool face.
“Did you wish to see me or my
guardian, Mr. Aiteveld ?” she asked
“You, Grace. You promised me last
night ” She raised her delicate
brows.
“What ?”
“An interview. Indeed, Grace, you
must know whai I have to say !”
“Mr. Arteveld, I cannot imagine !”
“That I love you, then. You can
not have been so blind as not to know
it. Grace, do not-coquet with me !
Belle of three seasons that she was,
she paled under the earnestness of his
eye-.
“I am very sorry,” she began, faint
ly shaking her beautiful head. “I
have so many gentlemen friends, I did
not imagine that you thought ”
“That I was the favored one ? —
Grace you gave me a red rose last
niglu.”
“T forget.”
“You waltzed with me.”
“Do not let us quarrel,” she falter
ed.
For a moment he looked at her with
eyes she could not meet.
A pallor came over her shallow
beauty. She stirred uneasily ; but be
caught her by the slender wrist and
held her as if in a vice.
“Girl !” he said, “I wish you had
broken my heart, but you have only
blackened it ! I never shall love an
other woman ! I have learned this
lesson too well. But you shall pay for
the ruin you have wrought—mark my
words! In your heart’s coin you shall
pay for it!”
A fear fell upon her. She shrank
from him. A thousand avenues of re
venge occured to her, and a blindness
of terror swept over her. .But when
she raised her head he was gone.
Mrs. Stein returned from Paris. As
the carriage rolled from the pier, she
begged her husband to let down the
windows, that she might see the old,
familiar streets of her native city—it
was Professor Stein who had married
Grace Gifford !
Though she had been a wife twenty
years, her face was beautiful yet.—
Mother-love had softened and strength
ened its harmonious proportions.
“I am so impatient to see Lily !”
she said. “To think it is a year since
I saw my darlings blue eyes !” Her
husband smiled.
Just then the carriage was stopped
by a crush of vehicles ahead.
“Grace who is that dark man look
ing at you from the crowd ?” asked
the Professor suddenly.
She turned and met the baneful eyes
upon her,
“It is Arteveld, the artist. Do you
not remember him ?” she answered.—
He used to come to guardian’s house
when I was a girl—indeed, fell in love
with me, and was quite violent when 1
refused him. J was afraid of him for
years ; but it was very silly. How
could he hurt me ?” complacently.
The carriage moved on.
It stopped before the palatial city
mansion at last. The servant who ad
mitted the smiling woman stood dumb
with astonishment.
“Where is Lily ? Where is my
daughter?” cried Mrs. Stein.
She ran up the broad stair. A slen
der, black coffin stood in the elegant
upper room. She stopped, blanched,
gasping
“God help you Mrs. Stein ; but
it’s dear Lily !” sobbed the faithful
housekeeper. “Will you hear the
whole story ?”
The mother sank down in a despair
which the good woman mistook for res
ignation.
“She was never strong you know,
frail and tender as a flower; and when
you were gone I fancied she pined. I
knew nothing was so precious as her
health, and I set myself lo work to
cheer her.
“ ‘Come, Miss Lily,’ said I,‘we will
go to the great artists and have a pic
lure of you, just at sixteen, painted for
your mamma as a surprise against she
gets back.’
“The fancy pleased her, and day by
day we went to Mr. Arteveld’s studio.
He was a handsome, pleasannt gentle
man, who said he used to know you
quite well ; and, on that account, he
came often to the house to read and
chat with Miss Lily.
“Perhaps I was to blame, Madame ;
but I thought no harm—he was so
much older than the child. His
company seemed to brighten her, and
so I was glad he came.
“He brought her songs and flowers,
and, meanwhile the picture went on,
lovely as her dear self. At last when
1 saw she dressed to please Mr. Arle-
veld, and seemed happy only in his
smiles, my heart began to warn me.
“I cautioned Lily, but she seemed to
take no heed. I was cool lo Mr. Ar
teveld, but lie did not notice. At last
I made up my mind to speak with him
—to tell him that Miss Lily was left in
my care, and I was not sure you would
sanction so intimate a friend tor her,
thus pntting the matter to his honor.
“Lily had told me he was to come
that night; but he came very early,
and the servant admitted him to the
parlor, where Lily was before I knew.
The first I suspected his having ar
rived was, that 1 heard his voice.
“I came quick through the music
room, and there I stopped ; for Mr.
Arteveld was talking fierce and loud,
and Lily was sobbing. I opened the
door, and he rushed from the room.—
Lily got tip, took two steps toward me
and fell fainting to the floor.
“When she came too, she was full
of wild crying, and told me what he
had said. It seems he won herlocon-
tess her innocent heart, and then told
her he hated her for her mother’s sake.
Perhaps you know what that means
more than I do, Madame. But the
child had got her death blow. She
wept away her strength, and the fever
burned out her life. She was so Irai!
she could not bear much, you see.”
The miserable mother staggered to
the coffin, and bent her agonized gaze
upon the ineek young face, set round
with myrtle and rosebuds.
“This, then.” she sobbed, “is Arta-

From the Chicago Evening Post.
TREATISE ON TREATING.
THE UNTAMED AMERICAN’S SOCIAL
HABITS.
No American custom causes more
genuine surprise and amusement a-
mong traveling foreigners d ,an
which is known in our saloons as treat
ing, consisting in the entertainment of
two or more with refreshments for
which one volunteers to pay. It is a
pure Americanism ; and all over the
republic it is as common as in Europe
it is unknown. There is probably no
minute ot any day in the year when
two or three hundred citizens of Chica
go are not guzzling something stronger
the contents usually taken into the
stomach. If two old friends meet, tbe
regular thing to say first is, “Let
drink to old times,” and the resident
must invariable “treat” the stranger.
If a man be well acquainted, it is con
sidered the generous and princely
thing to seize upon all his acquaintan
ces as often as possible, lake them to a
saloon, and give them a complicated
stand up driuk at the bar.
If there is anything absurder than
this habit, we are unable to put our
finger on it. Men do not always
“treat” one another to car-tickets be
cause they happen to meet on the same
seat. We never saw a man lake out
his pocket-book on encountering an
acquaintance and say “Ah, George !
Delighted lo see you ! Do take a lew
postage stamps ! Pis my treat. ” Do
men have a mania for paying each oth
er’s board-bills ! And is drinking to
gether more “social” than eating to
gether, or sleeping together ? A trav
eler may go all over the continents of
Europe, of A-ia and Africa without
seeing a man, except a Yankee,offer to
“treat,” and the Frenchmen ara quite
social enough, but, when they turn in
to a cafe to sip their wine and bran
died coffee together,each man pays for
nis own. When two Germans, long
separated, meet, they will turn into an
adjacent beer-cellar, sit down, and
drink lager and eat pretzels and chat,
but when they part again each man
settles his own score independently.—
So in Italy. The Italians are prover
bially merry and proverbially gener
ous, but every man pays for his own
wine, macaroni and cigars. They
never go into each other’s pocket books
in the sacred name of friendshipr—
They would as soonjhink of transfer
ring to each other their washerwoman’s
bill.
The preposterous fashion of “treat
ing” is responsible for the terrible
drunkenness in America. There
would be as little need ot temperance
societies and as little work for the
Good Templars as there is in Germa
ny, France, and Italy, if this pernicious
and insiduous habit was abolished. It
is, take it all, the most ridiculous, the
most unreasonable, and the most pes
tilent custom that ever laid its tyran
nical hand on civilized human beings.

The Exreulioa of Senor Ayesteran—Ills Last
Doors.
Havana, September 30,1870.
I have only a few words to say of
the Senor Don Louis Ayesteran, the
Cuban hero.
At the first note ot war ht left the
gayest circle of this city, gave up his
home, wealth, position, and the most
devoted friendship, to discharge his
duty as his mind and heart dictated.
He was among the very first in the field
with his musket, and in the ranks
fought in many battles until his indom
itable bravery and intelligence won for
him the high appreciation of his com
panions. and the entire confidence of
his superioi. He was selected as cap-
lain over a parly of the most deter
mined patriots, where he displayed
his [lower ot combination and tact with
the little material at his command, keep
ing a powerful enemy iu abeyance with
the idea that ihey were in the presence
ol a larger lorce, His command, was
never seen until fell, and that so often
that his attacks were reported ag of va
rious detachments from the same col
umn, concealed in tbe passes or moun
tains. The consequence his ability so
constantly displayed,and the pressing
necessity for more supplies of aims
and munition, induced bun lo accept
the call to a more important as well as
a more dangerous position by the au
thorities of the revolution. In the dis
charge of these duties, relying entirely
upon his own energy and management,
and of necessity subject to no superior,
he made lour successful expeditions to
and from Cuba, not losing a man or
any portion of the four cargoes. On
the fill!) trip he took a hurried run to
New York to visit his widowed mn f her
and only sister, as if to say good-bye

fell from the hero* lips ; he made a sol
dier's toilet; brie! a« if going upon a
pleasant journey home. He ascended
the platform with manly dignity ; not
a dry eye amoong his guards; no
sounds, save from Spanish Hpt, “save
him.” It was tou late. He calmly
turned his face towards his happy
home of twenty-three years, almost un
der his eyes, in thecerro, and thesceue
was over. Not the quiver of a fibre in
his whole frame. A cloud rests ov«r
all good hearts in Havana, without
any political exception. He will be

Id the present day men devote them
selves lo the working out of practical
problems—that is,of invention tbattend
to increase the general comfort of man
kind. In the early days of mechanical
invention the flying pigeon of Archytas
of Tarentum would have attracted
more attention than a cotton gin ; while
to-day, the unlimited faith that we have
in the mechanical ability of our aitisans
robs such mechanical curiosities of halt
their interst. Some of the results ot
the inventive efforts of these old me
chanicians were certainly very wonder
ful, and if now in existence would form
fine subject for study. Thus Regio
montanus made a flying eagle and an
iron fly which, after making the tour ot
the room, returned to its master.
Alberius Magnus, in the thirteenth
century, spent thirty years in construc-
ing a human figure, which advanced
to the door when any one knocked,
opened it and saluted the visitor. In
the water clock, presented to Charle
magne, by Haroun-al-Raschild, twelve
doors in the dial opend respectively at
the hour which each represented ; they
continued open till noon, when twelve
knights issued out on horseback, para
ded round the dial, and then returning,
shut themselves in again. Camus,
who so ably investigated many subjects
in theoretical mechanics, constructed
an ingenious toy for Louis XIV, con
sisting of a carrige drown by two horse*
es, containing a little figure of a lady,
with a coachman and attendants. The
coachman smacked bis whip the horses
moved naturally, and when tbe car
riage arrived opposil to the king’s seat,
it stopped; the page stepped down and
opened the door, and the lady alighted
and presented a petition to Louis.—
Hundreds of such inventions are recor
ded in the old works on mechanics, but
we do not remember to have met with
a single one that had been produced
within tbe last half century. The
cause of this is not that our modern
inventors are deficient in mechanical
ability, but that is general they appyl
their talents in a more useful direc
tion.

Ayesteran told his guard that he^wish-

The reply was, “No, you have nothing

“mv watch and chain—may I not give
