MABEL’S LOVERS. “And wo arc to be married in April,” said Mabel Henry, with a quaint air of assurance that made Mark Hamilton smile. Malnd wasft little, pretty pink-chocked lassie, in height scarcely reaching to Mark Hamilton’s wide shoulders. That gentleman rearranged a dusty pile of legal papers in one corner of his private escritoire, and laid a heavily sealed document upon the table. “He has proposed then—this sapient follower of yours?” “Now, Mark, you’re just boorish! Did not I tell you he proposed ever so long ago—almost at the first of our acquaint ance? And I, loving him, of course ac cepted his troth, and—we arc to he mar ried next April.” Since her earliest remembrance, Mark Hamilton had formed a part of Mahel’l existence. Orphaned long before her womanhood was gained, the guidance of her earlier life had rested entirely in his keeping, and she had grown to love him with a deep, true, steadfast love, such, she thought, as a child must feel for its t »arent;for he was thirty-five, and she mt seventeen this autumn day. “You wish me happiness, do you not, Mark?” “You know me too well to ask that; but matrimony is a treacherous craft; you had best l>c careful with whom you ship.” Mabel rose from her scat in the door- “ Not at all; we merely parted.” “ You really loved tin* man, Mabel?” qucsiioningly. “After the fashion of most girls at seventeen. We parted, however, and that settled everything.” “ But if he were to come hack to you the same man he was when you parted —were lie to come hack now, asking that the past Ik* forgiven ” “ I would tell him that I had forgotten the past and him.” * r ;lifT sat down on a low camp stool At her feet. “Mabel,” he said, “more than two years ago I learned to love a woman with all the passionate fervor of a life’s first and only love. I wooed her, and gained her affections. A few months after our betrothal we differed, quarreled, parted, determined never to look upon each other again. Then, after a long while, I came to Summit. We met, and the rest you know. Do not think m« treacherous, Mabel, in asking your love when I did. I admired you as much as was possible with the memory of Marion Maye lying between us. I meant to ho tiue and faithful to you; hut last night Marion Mayo came to Summit View!” His voice ceased entirely; and it was well for MhIk-1's overtaxed endurance. For a second the globe seemed reeling lieneath her. Then she struggled to her feet, and, slipping his ring from her linger, dropped it into his hand. "And you have confessed wrongs, and righted them. Ah, well, so he it? There is vour troth, Sir. Aldcn; Like it, and my sinccrcst well-wishes. I hope you may he very happy! Good bye!” She watched him walk down the road until the bend closed around him -..ml separated their lives for ever. She cried, of course; it was only consistent with her womanhood that she should. By aml-by the moon crept up, and with its first streak of light.Mark Hamilton walked into Mattel's presence. ‘ .Mabel!” said he, in horror. “Oh, it’s vou, is it?” said Maltel, un graciously enough. “ Well, lie’s gone.” Precisely what I thought myself, dear,” said Mr. Hamilton. “You see, I un willingly heard a few of your remarks while searching for a sheet of legal cap in the hall. I know the whole thing Maltel, and pity you a trifle more than you deserve/’ •• I know I’ve been a great fool,” said self-accusing Mabel. “And I’m going to he another, just to “If) suhjecl of lu: will di- horrible •ullv do not • of hi Alfred Mcrvin parlieularlv.

And they sang Scotch ballads in tho ■unset, and repeated love romances in the moonlight, until the autumn days grew measured, and a sharp breath of winter in the air. Then it was that Mcrvin came to her, his face pale, his voice unsteady, to tell her a time had come when they must part. “Must part?” cried Mabel, a white pallor coming over her checks. “You arc icsting—trifling, Alfred!” “No, dear, I am not,” lie answered. And then lie told her how the town in which they lived trammelled, with its narrow confines, whatever talents he pos sessed. So ho was going to try his for tune. “But,”—and a shade of uncertainly crept into Mabel’s eyes—“you will re turn? ’ “Can you doubt me?” lie cried, catch ing her to him ia a short, rapturous cm brace. She decided she could not, and he wont away. For a long while after that Mabel moved languidly about,.nursing her un happiness, and brooding over Mervin’s absence. But even his letters ceased abruptly just a month before the mar riage day. The winter through they come with laudable regularity, always loving, always freighted with words and endearment. Of course Mark Hamilton smiled in his cynical way, and told Mabel that her idol had fallen to tho dust in her keep ing. Perhaps it was only natural that ■he should think some evil hud over taken her lover. But conviction gaine upon her gradually, and hy the time she came fully to believe him recreant, she had ceased to care for him. Now, next May, fate willed that one of speculative inclinations should fit up an old rookery, duhhed “ Summit View,” and transform tho place into a aummer hotel. Fate willed it, too, that Cliff' A Men should wander that way one golden Juno morning, and meet Miss Mable Henry, after the accepted fashion of all heroes and heroines. After an introduction away played a lending part, she had asked him, unconcernedly enough, if ho were stopping at Summit View with his family, when he answered that he had no family; her feelings rose to a July temperature. At supper, she detailed the episode of their meeting in elaborate rhetoric to Hamilton. “Mabel, you’re a veritable goose,” said Hamilton, when she had done. “ I’m not angling for compliments, if you please,” said Miss Henry; nnd kept her own counsel ufter that. Two weeks of almost daily intercom*? sufficed to shpw Mable that Cliff’Aide bad no tendency oj admite* Scotch ballad or Tennyson.

You should havo self-confidence enough to dispense with all such nonsense.” Wiiat did she answer? I hardly kr something of no importance to air but their happy selves. She married him.

On a hot day in July, 1860, a herd* man was moving hia cattle to a new ranch further north, near Helena, Texaa, and passing down the hank* of a stream, his herd became mixed with other cattle that were grazing in the valley, and some of them failed to be separated. The next day about noon a band of about a dozen mounted Texan ranger* overtook the herdsman and demanded their cattle which they said were stolen. It was liefore the day of law and court-hou.-K «in Texas, and one had better kill five men than *tcal a mule worth $6, and the herdsman knew it. He tried to explain, hut they told him to cut it short. He oflerea to turnover all the cattle not his own, but they laughed at the proposition, and hiuted that thay usually confiscated the whole herd and left the thief banging on a tree as a warning to others in like casca The poor fellow was completely over come. They consulted apart for a few moments and then told him if he had any explanation to make or busine* to do they would allow him ten minutes to do so and defend himself. He turned to the rough faces and commenced: “How many of you have wives?” Two or three nodded. “ How many of vou have children?” They nodaed again. “Then I know who I am talking to, and you’ll hear me,” and he continued: “I never stole any cattle; I have lived in these parts over three years. I came <• Hampshire; 1 failed in the fall of ’57, during the panic; I have been saving; I have no home here: my family remain East, for I go from place to place; these clothes I wear are rough, aim I am a hard-looking customer; but this is a country ; days seem like month* to me, and months like years; married men, you know that but' for the letters from home—(here he pulled out a hand ful of well-worn envelope* and letter* from his wife)—1 should get discouraged. I have paid part of my debts. Here are the receipts (and he unfolded the letter* of acknowledgement). I expected to •ell out and go home in November. Here i* the Testament my good old mother gave me; there is my little girl’* picture, and lie kissed it tenderly and continued: “Now, men, if you have decided to kill me for what I am innocent of, send these home, nnd ns much as you can from the cattle when I’m dead. Can’t you send half the value? My family will need it.” “ Hold on, now ; stop right thar!” said a rough ranger, “Now, I say, boys,” he continued, “I say let him go. Give u* your hand, old boy; that picture and them letters did the business. You can go free, hut you’re lucky, mind ye.” “ We’ll do no more than that,” said a man with a big heart, in Texan garb, and carrying tlie customary brace of i iistols in his belt; “let’s buy his cattle icrc and let him go.” They did, and when the money paid over and the man about to start, . too woak to stand.

(Columbia lOb.jSun.] Since our notice of the extraordinarily large rat at the polico station with a voice like a human, we have heard many rat stories. One told by a relia ble gentleman we think worthy of re peating. He says some years ago, he was living at a farm, the ham of which wn* burned, and with it many rats. Some of the little fellows escaped, how ever, with seriouvnjurics, and look up their abode under piles of lumlier near a creek. At this place the strange cir cumstance ho tells of occurred. One came out. drank, and returned with a straw in his mouth. Walking un to the lumber, he pushed this straw under, and presently another came out. holding the other end of the straw. The first then started for the creek, leading his compan ion (who was afterward found to be blind) to the water. After the blind one had drank, they returned in the same manner. The gentleman says lit witnessed the proceeding, and will vouch for tlie truth of the statomeut. A St. 1x)uts doctor, speaking of his wife, says: “ I don’t love her; I havo never had a kind word from her fot years. When I come in from my prac tice I want a pleasant face and a kind word. It isn’t the woman’*fault, I sup pose.

John continued there until one day in his 2l8t year ho asked Charles for $60. Charles was alarmed. What oould this go* to Columbus to be ad mitted to tho bar. This was still a greater surprise. Tho boy had never asked his brother to train him for the law, nor did he appear to be training himself. So OharleS*said to him, ‘ Yon cannot be admitted to the bar without knowiug some law.’ John insisted that lie knew more law than some others who had passed an examination, and that bo was determined, if ho oould raise tho money. ‘But why do you want so largo a sum? was the reply. John explained that in the first place lie must have respectable clothing, and that the balance would be required for hotel and traveling expenses.

A novel courtship occurred at At-, lanta, (ia., the other day. While a lady was waiting in the railway station tor a train, a strange gentleman walked up to her and poured out a tale of love with such volubility and ardor that she could not stop him till ho wound tip with an ofl’erof marriage. Ho informed the ladv that he owned one acres of land in the western part of the state, and was the fond parent of two interesting children, aged seven and eight years. He begged her to marry him at once, and if she could not do so. then to register a promise that she would not defer the nuptial ceremony longer than the ensuing Saturday. When the lady got a chance to speak she re plied that, never having seen him before, and not even knowing his naui could not for a moment think of ing him in such haste. Upon this tho passionate lover granted her a brief hour tor reflection, and walked awav, hut re turned promptly before the departure of tho. train, and taking a seat Is’liind statement that her hair diencc had one night the exceeding bed taste to persistently hia* h«r.
