ABGEM0NE.
The 0I1I latnily portraits of l lie Ne
mours looked to me like gargoyles, as
I waited, in a lover’s agitation, for llie
doctor’s coming. With the exception
of little Argemone, whom I loved with
all my heart, I hated the whole proud
race: for it was their pride which
made them so in accessible, and would
probably deny me the young girl l hat
set my heatt anti hopes upon.
The rooms were filled with the Ne
mours’ wealth—velvet carpets, rose
wood chairs, curtains of silk embroid
ery, and the brie a brae of taste and
travel.
I looked down their shimmering vis-
la with a sick heart.
The doctor’s portentous “Hem
sounded in the hall.
He must have known my errand.—
He s.aluted me with the baieit civilly.
“No, Mr. Wrexham ; you are not m
a position to receive the ban I of a
child of mine. Moreover, Argemone
is promised to Mr. Rochefort.”
“She will never marry him !” I ex
claimed.
“I beg your pardo said the doc
tor coldly.
Well, it was at an end, then—my
suspense and my hope. As I laid my
hand on the hall door, a servant came
to me with a note. I knew my dar
ling’s delicate cbirography, and hur
ried home to read it.
“Dear—I know papa will refuse
you, hut don’t be quite discouraged.—
I will not marry Mr. Rochefort, anti 1
do, and always shall love you.
‘ Gem.”
That was the only word or message
that 1 received from her for three
months. I had no opportunities of
meeting her. There was no certainly
dial l should ever see her again. Mv
only com foil was to paint into me pic
tures of all my woman her rose-leaf
cheek, her blue, baby eyes.
At ihe end of that time, her sister
Persia came to sit for her port ran —
1 Her beauty was not like liltle Gem’s
(She had dark eyes, great ebon braids,
i was tall and stalely. She was very
j beautiful, and it was kind, I thought,
to give me her patronage, when the
most popular artists in the city would
have been proud of it. 1 worked care
fullv on her portrait, and she was
pleased with it.
But, somehow, Argemone’s name
was the one thing 1 never could men
tion to her, dreading what I might hear.
But when the sittings were at an end,
ami I knew that it was mv last oppor
tunity to hear from my love, I said :
“Is your sister quite well this spring
Miss Nemours
“Quite well, thank you”—gracious
ly. She is to be married in May.”
Her proud face seemed floating a-
way from me in a strange mist. When
1 recovered myself, I was alone.
Why should 1 he so shocked ? As
1 he wot Id goes, was it strange that she
had given me up ?
It was a long, weary struggle, ban*
ishing her from my heart. In spite of
all I could do, I soiled into a deep des
pondency. My doting old mother was
grieved, anil l was miserable.
Iti August I took a vacation, and
wet:l to the mountains. The splen
did atmosphere put some pluck into
me, 1 think. 1 was sketching upon
the rot ks, one day, when 1 saw a car
riage coming swiftly down the declivi
ty. The horses were evidently fright
ened.
• “Whoa, Pomp ! Gently, Tartar !”
cried the driver, sawing at their bits.
In another moment the man was
thrown out, and the excited horses
were out of sight.
I hurrud to his help. He was
senseless. We raised him tin and
bore him to the hotel. There’I discov
ered that the wounded man w r as Roch-
efoit. When his wounds were dress
ed, 1 said :
“Would you not like to send a tele
gram to your friends—your wife ?”
“L have no wife.”
• “Miss Nemours ?”
“M iss Nemours declined the h* nor
of becoming Mrs. Rochefort.”
1 returned hastily to the city. 1
went boldly 4o the Nemours mansion.
I asked for Mi«$ Nemours. Persia
came quickly. She was beautiful ;—
she was cordial I laid open mv heart
to her. She slutok her proud head.
“I am afraid that you are doomed
again to disappointment. My sister
lias left us.”
“I.eft you

Did she leave
for me ?”
“None.”
Again the black-wall of Fate was
closed between us. Persia Nemour’s
silvery tours were meaningless to my
t ar, as I 10-e ami took mv departure.
Two weary years dragged bv. 1
prospered in my profession, but wealth
and lame had lost for tne their sweet
est value. Though but six and tvven
ly, 1 Began to l*«>k forward longingly
to the end ol life.
One day a negro servant brought me
a note.
“Come to me; l have something to
say to you before-I die.
Pkrsia Nkmours.
Dreading some iil tidings, i obeyed
ihe summons.
A graze maid led me quietly to Per
sia’s chamber. Kven the rose-light of
'.hose silken euriains could not warm
that marble and < inaeialed face.—
Great billows of her black hair fell to
•he floor There was something crush
ed in her attenuated hand, upon the
embroidered coverlet'.
“ Sit down, York Wrexham—near
er ; my voice is so weak,” she said,
faintly.
She sent the maid from the room,
then turned her dark eyes full upon
me.
“ I am dying. The doctors say 1
cannot possibly recover. And since 1
am to die without your love, I will re
veal to you that Argemone Nemours
lovt s you still.”
“Argemone !” I cried.
“I have deceived you both,” she
went *iti. “From the first my sister
never gave Mr. Rochefort any encour
agement. When the lime that was
set tor her wedding approached, she
ran away ‘rom him. She left tne with
a letter lor you, l n* ver delivered it.”
A fit ofcoughing and pitiful mourn
ing interrupted her.
“ll is gone now—the blind pasions
I had fur you,’’she continued, after a
time. “You never saw, never under
stood that I loved you. When you
looked a* tne, you thought only of Ar-
gemone. But I have loved you with
an intensity which her childish nature
m ver knew. Though you were un
known, i would have matried you ;—
though you were poor, I would have
enrich* d you. And I never gave up
hope .until the physicians told me 1
must die. I know, now, that you
will marry Argemone.”
‘Where is she ?”
“She is at a rural place called Wa
terford, fifty' miles from here, There
she has lived alone. There site ex
peeled you to follow her. But you
never knew.”
‘No ; I never knew,” said, with a
swelling heart.
“for thiee years this strange pas
sion for you has led me,” she said,
meekly. “1 never thought, myselfa
had woman, and yet, I think there was
nothing 1 would not have done to gain
your love I have separated Arge
mone from you. I have kept her in
exile from her home by writing to her
that her father is unreconcilabie. I
have brought that old man to the grave
wi th anxiety and unconfessed misery.
My father is dead, and I am dying.—
I have been called a good daughter,
and a loving sister. What does it all
mean ?”—in a wandering voice.
Then she recovered herself.
“York Wrexham, good-h\r. You
ate going to Argemone. Can you for
give me ?”
“I can hold no anger against the dy
ing.”
“Here is her note. It will tell you
all you wish to know. Leave me now;
I am very much exhausted.”
I hade her a kind farewell, and left
tier. I never saw her alive again.—
They say she fr II into a deep sleep,
at my departure, from which she nev
er awoke in this world.
Tf te little note rent! as follows :
“York—I am pushed to extremities.
I did not think my father would force
me to leave him, but I see it must be
so. I am going to the little town of
Walerfotd, where T am quite unknown
to stay, earning my own living, until
you come for me. I am realty to be
your wife. It may as well be now as
any time, fir I will never give you
up. Dear, I know you have had ma
ny desponding hours, hut I have all
ways loved you faithfully, and never
slept at .night without thanking the
dear Father for your pure aflection —
Come to me, dear Y’ork, and we will
share our troubles together.
‘Gem.”
What more could I ask for ? What
greater happiness could earth hold for
me ?
I reach* <1 Waterford that night.—
As [ walked the rural streets, a young
girl, plainly dressed, passed before
me. Thank God ! that lovely, famil
iar luce! But those sad, sad eyes!
“Gem, my darling ! 1 have found
von.”
Site turned, and, in the dusk, hid
their sadness on my breast.
A Coffined Young Woman comes to Life.
'1 he Council Bluffs Nonpariel of the

she came with a company of relatives
and friends from Denmark, and lived
here till about the 1st ol Jufv last The
male member of the family found em
ployment on the line of the Union
Pacific Railroad and found it conven
ient to remove their domicil nearer the
place ol their work ; consequently, a
part ol the family moved out to Big
Opting- Station, «*»» l l, e Pocifi* Road,
and among those, was Margar* t.—-
Here every thing went *>n pleasantly
till about the In of S*-pl< ml ter when
Margaret wa* taken sick, and- after a
seqticre illness of about two weeks, she
bade ler friends good by , and her spir
it took its High'. The same day that
she died the friends at Big Spring,
wrote to the relatives in this city, giv
ing particulars of her sickness and
death. On the second day after she
had apparently luenihed Iter last, a
rude coffin was provided anti the
friends concluded that tire remains
should he temjjorarily interred upon
jSiiuuiu uc iciiipurainj imrrrru upon
J the prairie, until such time as would
be more conv< n ent to take them to
permanent resting place. Just as the
coffin had been lowered to its ' place,
and a few shovelsful of earth had
been thrown into the grave; anapproch-
ing tiaia called the burial party at the
station. Alter|»n absence of about an
hour the men returned to the grave
and as they were about lo resume
work with their shov* D, they heard
a noise in the .partially buried coffin,
giving evidence of kicking and pound
ing, and other conduct very unbecom
ing a well bred corpse ; and, as may
be supposed, after recovering from
their fright, the men lost no time in
uncovering and opening the coffin, to
see what bail disturbed the dead wo
man’s rest. The remainder of the story
may be|belier imagined than describ
ed. Suffice it to say, that Margaret’s
friends and relatives in this city, who
mourned het as dead, have just receiv
ed a letter written by her own hand,
very emphatically denying that she
h id dispensed w ith her mortal coil,and
saying that she would he here in the
course of a few days.”
A Remintcenie.—Among the first stt
tiers in the eastern |K>riion of New
Hampshire was an Irishman, who first
made his home in what is now the
town of D r ain. He was a very fru
gal and industrious man, and possessed
of that s erlittg element incident to suc
cess, called common sense. He rulli
vated some acres ot land, and during
1 lie winter he used to busy himself in
splitting and shaving shingles. His
market was Portsmouth, wither lie car
tied his shingles in a Hat-boat. After
a time he bought a large tract of land
in what is now So. Berwick, Me.—
This hecleaied to a considerable extent,
and cultivated. At the same time he
managed this smaller farm in Durham,
and still continued his trade in shin
«les. Duting these years he was not
married, and he was obliged to shift
for himself mostly in all matters of a
culinary nature, unless he “changed
works” with farmers and boarded with
them.
At this time, which was in the ear*
ly history of our country, ship-inasters
were accustomed to take men and wo
men from Ireland, and perhaps from
England “on lick;” or, in other word*,
they gave them credit lor passage, and
when they anived in America, they,
the emigrants, allowed themselves to
be “set up” at auction lor their passag» ;
the person who bid them off [laying the
passage money and allowing the men
and women to work ihemselvs elear
of debt upon the farm or else
where.
A ship load of these poor men and
womwn came into Portsmouth. They,
like others, soid their labot at auction,
or allowed it to be sold by the Cap
tain. The Captain well knew our he
ro, having traded with him before.—
Upon the day of the auction, he had
sold out all his passengers except one
woman. For her there bail been no
bidders. The IiiJiman’s boat was
alongside the Captain’s ship, and the
latter bantered the farn er inhuy the wo
man he had on hoard. The Irishman
came on board anil took a glance at
this piece of personal properly, dressed
in bonnet and gown, and told the Cap
tain that he would “swop” his load ol
shingles for the woman. “Done,” said
the Captain, and the transfer was short-
13’ made.
The sequel is, the Irishman rowed
his lassie home, and domiciled her in
his log house, and after a brief court
ship, married her, alter the manner of
Christain custom. Ten or twelve
children were the fruit ol the mar
riage. One of the sons became a Gen
era! in the revolutionary arrm’, whose
patriotism aud exploits are a part .of
their history.
Gen Sullivan was of Irish descent..
His father wa« born in Limerick in 16
92, eame to Berwick, Me., as early as
the year 1723, and died in 1796, aged
one hundred and four years. His
mother came over several years after,
from Cork. She was born in 1714,
and died is 1801, aged eighty-seven.—
Her mind was of a rough though noble
cast. The father’* education was
good, and together enjoyed honorable
poverty in early life. YV hen on her
passage to this country, a fellow pas-
en«*er jocosely said to her : “Whal do
you expect to do by going over lo
America ? Do, said she, why raise
G ivernors for them. Lilttle did she
then think that two of her hoys the
then unborn, John would become Pre
sident of New Hampshire and James
the Governor of Massachusetts ”
Thovght it washer Husband.—One
dark night not long ago, a burglar en
tereil a private residence in Sixth ave
nue. On ascending one flight of stair*
he observed a light in a chamber, an*f
while hesitating what to do, a larg*
woman suddenly descended upon him
seized him by the throat, forced him
down through the hall, and pusbedhim
into the street, before he ha*l time to
think. “Heroic Repulse of a Burglar
by a woman” was the way the story
appeared in the newspaper next day.
But when friends called to congra
ulate her upon her courage, she ex-
clamed, “Good gracious ! I didn’t
know it was a burglar. If l had 1
should have been frightened to death.
I thought it was my husband cOtiole
home drunk again, and ( was deterni' 1
tired he should not st
in that condition.—Louisville Sun.

There are a number of things concern
ing which I atn possessed of profound
ignorance. Among these may be num
bered the fiue arts. With regard to tne
coarse arts, such as house [minting, I
have recently learned a few lessons
from experience. 1 consider exjie-
rience a thorough teacher; but his
charge for tuition are perhaps rather
high.
Maria Ann said we must have the
house repaired,and aswhal Maria Ann
says must lie, generally is, I at once
went and made a bargain with a house
painter. He said he would send his
painters around. The next mottling
got my breakfast and started, put to
earn my bread by the perspiration of
my classic brow. I opened the tlour
and pul my fool into a tin pail full ol
paint. Then 1 look it out and set it on
the hall door-mat. Mari a Ann assis
ted me from there, and 1 took a Hying
leap over the pointer to the sidewalk.—
The painters painted the fence and
the front steps that forenoon. Every
one who coine to see us either painted
their hands on the gale and left prints
thereof on the chairs, else painted
their soles on the steps, and made
track ail LVer the parlor carpet. Thecal
laid down on the steps to sleep in the
sun, and paint dried so fasL that when
she got uponc side of her was bi'd-
headetl
The next morn ng the men come be
fore any one was up and began to take
out ail the windows. During the en
tire day they were working around the
window casing Oneoflhem would s*an
by the open kitchen window, and an
other by the open parlor window, then
they would talk about the Painters’
Union, about the picnic, about price of
flour, about the girls; about all the
while. The retirement which is
among the charms ol domestic life did
not characterize our house to any great
extent that day
The next morning about five o’clock,
I heard some one walking into our bed
room. I sprang boldly from the bed,
grasped a boot in one hand and the
pitcher in the other, and determined to
sell my life as dearas possible unless I
got a chance to run down stairs. Said
I, “Who is there i “Oh,” replied the
intruder, “u’s in*-, the painter ; I am
taking down the blinds.” I fell much
relieved ; but Maria see me* l to be out
of patience. She told the man what
she thought about him, aud made poin
ted comments upon his manner, his
appearance and the probabilities that
lie ever enjo3’ed a common sc ho. 1 edu
cation.
The painter was wedded to his art,
and paid uo attention to the prattle ot
Maria Ann. With the windows and
blinds both out, the interior of the house
was somewhat exposed, and the ta>k
of getting dressed was attended with
some embairassinent, especially as the
painters seemed to be at work at all
the windows. While we were eating
breakfast one ol the painters came m
with an armful ot towels and ie-
marked that he found them hanging
on the clothes line, and he supposed
Maria would have have r^o objection
to bis usiug them to wipe off the doors
before he grain*d them. Maria stated
her objections in detail’ and the an
withdrew.
The next morning I whs up early.—
When the painters came I volunteered
to help them “Come right along,” I
shouted, “let’s take off’lhe clapboards
and paint them. Lei’s take up the
cellar and paint that, inside and out.—
Let’s [mint the cistern. Let’s take
down the chimney and paint the bricks.
Let’s paint the hole the cellar leaves.
Let’s,—They assured me that l was
planning more work than was uecess-
ar}', and as they did not act as though
they needed my h*-ip, I went b ick to
breakfast.
The next time the house wants
painting I will move into the back
yard, and send the house down to the
shop where the painters can sworm
around it at there pleasure.

At the Prussian headquarters in
Meaux the King occupied the front,
Count Bismarck the back rooms of the
Archbishop’s palace. The apartments
of the Count were on the ground floor,
and looked out upon the extensive gard
ens to the rear of the palace. The
16th of September hud been a \erv
busy day lo many of the Prussians,
and not leest of all to the Count. He
was riding all day, and in the evening
he had a long eon Terence with the King.
Tired with these difficult labors he
reached hia mom, to prepare for bed.
He had scarcely, however, begun to
undres* himself when he heard a rust
ling nn.ong the bedclothes, and on
searchmg.found to his astonishment,an
infant not more than four weeks old.
On lookiug closer lie found by the side
of this enfant iroucc (he following
note:
“My husband fell at Sedan ; I have
nnrtiihg tn eat. Despair forces me to
part with my only child. It has been
baptized'Vincent.” Nor does this curi
ous story end here. To make it dra
matically complete and symmetrical
the unfortunate mother committed sui
cide. The matter is said to have
reached the ears of the King, and
derr were given that the desolate
fant should be sent to Berlin, jV
over a life so c»r>ously iM’gun ?
