HEART YEARNINGS.
My darling, if beneath the sea,
With all its waves beueath its head,
I lay, and thou should’st speak to me,
I think that I should quit the dead
And come to thee. 1
Could my lone spirit lost iu space,
Hear one fond sigh thy lips had given,
I’d fly to earth tor thy embrace,
Nor grieve for a relinquished heaven.
Hold but thy hand, thy loving hand,
To me across the dark abyss,
And let me see thee waiting stand,
And back should I return to this,
, From Wen the better land.
Give me the beatings of thy heart ;
Give roe the kisses of thy lips,
And let life’s common joys depart,
The sun go down in dark eclipse,
My dearest, earth nor cruel sea,
Nor even the boundless realms of space,
Could separate my soul from*thee,
Or win me from thy fond embrace.
Did’st thou but wish for me.
THE EIGHT ONES AT LAST.
Orth Warton and Dora Leigh
keDt their loremakin g—or
ihought they did—a profound se
cret. So did Emory Torrence
and Carrie Wells.
Dora and Carrie had been
schoolmates and were close
friends ; and yet strange to say,
they had never exchanged con
fidence on the one topic con
cerning which young lady friends
are especially given to pour
their experiences into each oth
er’s ears without reserve.
Orth Warton and Emory Tor
rence, 100, whose souls were as
closely knit in amity as those of
David and Jonathan, on this
same subject were mutually
mum.
The fact is, the couple of coo
ing uairs were respectively bent
on astonishing the world wilh
their several weddings, of the ap
proach of which everybody was
to kept in dense ignorance till
the mine was ready to be sprung.
Whether or not the lovers suc
ceeded in thwarting the vigi
lance of others, there was at
least one pair of eyes whose
keenness they failed to elude, —
aud these were iu Miss Jane
Jaruegan’s head.
Miss Jarnegan had too many
ad vantages of years aud experi
ence to be easily deceived by
the shallow artifices wherewith
callow sweethearts imagine they
conceal their secret. She knew
the outs and ins of the human
heart, male and female, and
could tell the exact state of eve
ry flirtation and courtship jfoiug
on around her.
Nor was she content with the
role of a mere passive observer.
She decried marriage as earnest
ly as iEsop’s fox did the flavor of
the unattainable grapes; and,
furthermore, lost no opportunity
ol‘ putting her principles in prac
tice by making mischief be
tween sucb of ber young ac
quaintances as she eupposrd en
tertained serious desigus of en
tering the holy aud happy estate.
~At a certain evening party Em
(ory Torrence extended some or
-1 dinary civilities to Dora Leigh.
It chanced that Carrie Wells and
Orth Warton were both absent.
Jane Jarnegan was there,though,
and, as usual, had both eyes
open.
Next day she made an early
call on Carrie Wells, and was
quite voluable on the subject of
the party.
“By the way,’’ she added, as if
just remembering the fact of
which she had come to make
especial mention, “Mr. Torrence
and Miss Leigh were there.”
“Were they?” returned Car
rie, wilh feigned indifference.
“Yes; aud very attentive to
her he seemed,” said Jane Jarne
gau. “He never left her side
the whole evening ; and, I re
gret to say, she suffered the
pleaure bis assiduity gave her
to be shamefully apparent.”
There was an uneasy quiver m
the smile which rose to Carrie’s
lips.
“And they do say—” Miss
-Tarnegan resumed.
“What?” interrupted Carrie,
nervously.
“That it will be a match,” re
plied the other.
Then, pretending not to notice
tlie pained look on the girl’s face,
Jane Jarnegan took an affection
ate leave, promising to look in
again soon.
Straight she hied her steos to
the office of Orth Warton, whom
she made a show of consulting
on some trival business matter.
There, again, the subject of the
party was brought up casually
and expatiated on, not omitting
the episode of Emory Torrence
‘and Dora Leigh, and what the
mysterous “They” had said upon
the subject.
The seed thus sown was not
slow in producing Iruit. Orth
and Dora met with coolness, and
the coolness soon ripened into
estrangement; for both were too
proud to seek or give explana
tions, and Miss Jarnegan had la
bored so industriously that
“They” began to talk in earnest
and to say that the marriage of
Emory Torrence and Dora Leigh
was only a question of time.
It is as old as lover’s quarrels
for the disaffected parties to
show how little they care for the
trouble that torments them, by
coquetting in other quarters.
And many a match is made with
out affection just to prove to a
faithless sweetheart, or one im
agined to be so, how little her de
fection is regarded.
When Orth Warton, lo show
his indifference to Dora Leigh
became particular in his atten
tions to Carrie Wells, and Carrie
Wells received them graciously,
just to let Emory Torrence know
in how small esteem she held
him, neither Orth nor Carrie
knew the other’s motive, for, as
we have seen, neithet* knew the
other’s pre-engagement.
Similar motives induced a feint
of love-making between Emory
Torrence and Dora Leigh, who
thus, unconsciously, lent force to
the rumors set afloat by Jane
Jarnegan ; and the expected
marriage of Emory and Dora was
in everybody’s mouth"
Oith Warton,in a fit of despera
lion, resolved 10 be beforehand
with the faithless lair one, and
at once proposed to marry Carrie
Wells, by whom the offer was as
promptly accepted.
“I have a favor to ask,” said
Orth, when all was settled and
the day named ; “I want you to
choose Dora Leigh for your bride-'
maid.”
The request was granted on
condition that Emory Torrence
should be groomsman.
Surely this would be proof of
the little regret felt by the happy
pair on the score ot the lovers
they had lost.
On the morning of the wed
ding, which was to take place
from the bride’s home, Dora
Leigh was alone with Carrie. The
last touches had been given to
the bridal costume, and the two
were waiting to be summoned to
the little parlor, where they were
to meet the groom and grooms
man preparatory to proceeding
to the great drawing-room.wbere
the minister and guests were in
attendance.
It is hard to tell whetther Dora
or Carrie looked most cast down.
The latter’s face was deathly
pale. Her eyes were red with
weeping, and her whole frame
trembled as the time for the
emony drew near.
“Oh lit is dreadful!” she ex
claimed, in a burst of agony.
“l’o marry a man one does not
love !’’ she wailed, in answer to
her friend’s inquiring look. “Oh.
Dora! Dora! I trust when you
marry Emory Torrence—”
“I shall never marry him,” was
Dora’s answer.
“Why I”
“For two good reasons—l do
not love him and he has never
asked me.’’
For an instant Carrie’s flushed,
and a gladsome light flashed
trom her eves.
“Thank Heaven,” she murmur
ed.
But the next moment the palor
returned and the light died out.
“Too late!” she moaned, and
just then the dreaded summons
came.
The procession from the parlor
to the drawing-room had been
thus arranged : The bride and
groom were to go first, the bride
maid and groomsman bringing
up the rear, the two latter to sep
arate right and left as they ap
proached the minister, before
whom they were ail to stand iu
line.
Neither bride nor groom raised
iheir eyes, and both seemed quite
unconscious of what was going
on.
“I have divined a secret this
morning,” whispered Dora, with
a meaning glance at Emory Tor
rence, who looked as rueful as
the rest, and in whose arm she
drew that of Carrie Wells, who,
with eyes still downcast, shud
dered at the touch of what she
believed was Orth Warton’s arm.
Dora took her place behind at
the side of Orth, who looked
neither to the right nor lo the
left, nor seemed to heed anght
that passed, ami iu this order,
when Hie lolding doors w.ere
drawn aoart, the lour presented
themselves belore the minister.
“I—l fear there is a mistake
here/’ stammered the clergymau.
Carrie looked up as though in
spired by a sudden hope that
even yet there might be some
escape. Her eyes met those of
Emory Torrence bent lovingly
upou her.
“There is no mistake,’’ said
Emory ; “1 aui here lo marry this
lady.”
Carrie’s face was radiant with
joy. Her mother and only living
parent, who hid all along prefer
red Emory Torrence lor a sou-iu
law, didn’t forbid the bans. Neith
er did Orth Warton, who gave a
sigh of relict as his eye took in
the situation, and the ceremony
proceeded.
Orlh pressed Dora to make a
double wedding ot it ; but she
utterly declined, declaring her
inteuliou of putting him on pro
bation for a period.
Jaue Jarnegan pronouueed the
whole affair disgraceful.

An editor ol a paper does not
expect everyoue will like him
personally; that is au impossi
bility ; but he does expect that
each business man is goiug lo
give him credit lor what he does
in building up the town, and
from that standpoint he must be
judged. A true editor tries to
deal impartially with everyone,
and if he does not do this accord
ing to your likiug, remember that
we do not all lliiuk alike, and
that he may be just as honest iu
his way of thiuking as you are in
yours, and allow him the privi
lege of using his best judgment.
