But L tche-is, in the shape of a predatory pig grimly interposed lo ihwirt the p'ans of that unsuspicious female. Her Papa had hy this time fully convinced that the moving mass in hi- potato patch was nothing more nor less than a pig, which li tving by fair means or foul, effected an en trance in that forbidden place, was running up a hill which his owner, would have to foot. ‘•Here driver —hero, Shonto —hay hoys! sie-hmi —lii-i i-i hip!” cries the outraged fanner, as with a Chnman ehe yell he dashed to th ■ rescue, the : and irs delightedly scampering ahead.

Once in the . (lice with Aliss Rachel saying nice thing's as she handed out his mail, Mr. Wilkins totally forgets, even as he hail I'es suggestive ones of Ins own, the neglected letter, on which so much depends, lying so stiug'y in his coat pocket at limn \ II rta watches and waitsjfirst ten herly. then impatient ly; at last nnx ou-Iy, fo ■ the reply wui* h is so tardy. ‘•Papa,’’ she asks, tremulously, sometimes of that gentleman when lie returns from the vil age enry handed, “ are your sure Miss Rachel 'Lros not overlook or mislay some tou t of vour mai ? ’ ‘■Oh no, my dear,” lie always re pl'fs“.Miss Riche! is a very exact and responsible person and is very atten tive to my mail;'’ which indeed she was. The secret of Berta’s distjurude lay in the fact that "it the day previ ous to the one in which .Mr. Wilkins stood on his front galley watching the manoenvers of the predestined pig, Rol mil Freeiu m had written to his daugetr, a very touching letter, i-ettiii!! forth the state of his affections relative tv her, sotnethinir in this way: •‘lf von do no', love me,’’ lie sai l ‘•in the wav I vvi-li, I will not pain your kind heart by asking i v expec ting a written refusal of my suit. l)o not write me at, it will be enough—old 100 much--- to know w hat your silence will say. Bu', tier ta, if you can low. me, on my darling,” e'c., eic., and the letter closed in tho raphsoilica! and gushing style peculiar to that age and con dition. S'i lb rta not being proof aganist a suit so tenderly u ged, an I so hack - eel by substantial consult rafon, had replied ill the affirmative, and had been ever since in a stale of wander and chag;in at his most unaccounta ble silence. “Well! Ido say,’’ cxelaiincs Mr- Wilkins, a w eek af or tins, at break fast, “im re’s ini telling the bauds the young folks take to. these and .ys. They don't min’, tiling off t* China nor no where else, no matter how good a chance tlny've >jot to make a iv.ng at. hone.

I didn’t know you see; he used to come here pretty regular and the kind heart ed father goes on with Ins breakfast. Not so the and nigh ter. She t,rides her muffins, and balances her tea spoon on tho edge of her cup, me chanically dropping crumbs into it, and as mechanically counting out the mystic numbers which are to deter mine her ninilen life—“one, two, three,’ while her he tat says ‘never,’ as thought follows the errantic one journeying toward the land of the setting sun. At length ihe good father makc ing an end of his breakfast, leaves the ro .in, and Berta has an opportuni y to indulge her grid by giving some outward expression of it. She sits a few moments resting with her elbows on the ‘able before her,with her pret ty head pressed between her plump little,hands and presently some large briny drops come splashing down a mong the cups and saucers. This does not last long, for Berta is much too practical a housekeeper to si griev ing fora recreant lover while the dish es are unwashed, So she gets up arid goes bravely about the discharge of her domestic duties, which action is attended with fewer mistakes than one might expect under the circumstan ces. She does indeed sweeten the cup and pul salt in the pudding, but these ire mistakes which might occur to any one on a less trying occasion/ When a' last her du'n s over, she has limn to sit quietly down at her sc v. ing and ixiuilno in nil its hearings her lover’s mysterious It-gira, she comes to what seems to her, the only teas inabte solution of the matter. 1,’.-, all the fault o that, prying old m ii i at the post, office,” she says, ns she bites off the end o*' her thread ra ther viciously. ‘‘Sho wants Roland for that pert clot of a sister of hers. It is perfectly disgusting the vay that T.uey Lane lakes on over him because he stud that, sho wau the prettiest giil in Greenville,” and our sorely tried little heroine r> fleets wiili much salt Wan: ion that the lives just nvo miles out ol town. “Papa gave .Miss Ricbel rny letter—sin never gives him a chance to put any thing into the box hieisell—and of course site did not mail i'; sho read it, I know she did. If ever woman have a voice in elections and ap point ments, I for one, shall go against post-mistresses; men do mind their own business as a rule, but woman —”.md here her indignation h iving reached the culminating point, she bl eaks off in her soliloquy and be ciiis making stabs with her needle, in the unoffending cloth, ns savage as it it were .Miss Rachel herself. And aft through the heated term of Bclni’s linger and the long summer months, Miss Rachel li ire in blissfu l iguorence this unjust suspicion. It is true she did not foil to remark Ber ta’s coolness toward her; and thought that young lady uiincooutnbly out, of tim.-er. wli'ii she inquired of her, with the freedom of lung* acquaint.

Thus the Butmnci blossomed and want'd; and though Berta neither gre a interesiingly pale,nor took re fuge in writing lovesick poeir.y, ihe star- might, have told talcs if ibey vvoii and, of many bright drops they had witnessed on her chec’s, when the world was hushed in dream nnb j sleep. She was entirely too well [ constructed to allow her grief, were it never so gnawing to come to the su'faee, or to make any inquiry of 110 l uni’s family as to the cause of his sudden flight; though, like the Light Brigade, sho “knew someone hid blunilorcilor done worse,’’she wisely left Cupid to look after l.is own af fairs, feeling that if Meicury had any thing to do with their present stall) he was quite welcome to bn gains. One day. hue in September, when the trees were wildly tossing their •green urines in the chill Equinoctial blast, and murmuring loudly at this encroachment on the prerogatives of summer, Darla, with a kindn 'ss and consideration more promptly reward ed than is usual, caused n fire to be lighted in Mr. Wilkins bed-room. ‘ For,” said she, “I’apa will he ho chilled when he comes in to dinner, and will so enjoy (lie cheeer and warmth of the tire. Mr. Wilkins onto in soon after and fuby fulfilled the prediction. He sat rubbing h s hands in enj lymeul of the heat, with his chair tipped forward and his feet wide apart, giv ing now and then little shivers and jinks, varied with occasional pokes at the fire. •‘Bad weather,” lie says, “very bad cotion ruined that’s open.” Then he pauses and looks disconsolately out of the window, upon the panes of which the rain is playing an aile grelto. “By-tnc-by, Berta, wish yon would get mo a thicker coat— the black willdo. If it holds up I’ll ride to town for the mail after din ner.’’ The arrival of the mail lias ceased to be of any interest to Berta; but she dutifully puts by her sewing, and alicr a short search disinters from under two or three others, the de sired garment. “Why I’apn, what a rent !’’ she excldins, holding up the coal. with a true feminine horror of darns, “Oh yes, I forgot—needs a liltle •cwing up I believe; I fell dewn running after that hog,” he explains. Berta sits down and, woman-like, begins running her hand in the pock ets; in the very first instance she comes upon a letter in a white en velope, having a very familliar look. She draws it quickly out. “Here’s a—Oh! its my lott r,” sic cries hysterica’ 1 }; “that’s why !c went away. O'l, dear! I’m so glud; I’m so sorry,” ami she 1 1 Is to laugh ing niirl crying til in a breath, hy reason of her long pent up emotion.' 1 Mr. Wilkins regards Ikt in the ut most ninny, ment. “Wlml in ltill worlds the mutter wiili you ?” ho asks, w hen lie oni find words to do so. “Got liysieiies, upon my word!’’ “Old Papa, lie does love me,” cries Berta, kissing the letter r piu rously. "Loves you—who loves you?’’ “RolmidP with an ecstatic gasp. “Looks pewer'ul like i 1 ‘ Oil, but lie did not understand— ’’ “Be-sw i’died il 1 do either,”b!tii ts out ihe perjih-xed father. Theu iii rta, sensible to the last, knowing her lover enn best tell his own story, flies out of the room on the w ings of love and joy, ru-d soon r tinning with his letter, places ii In f re the not tin-y:upathetic eyes of her father ‘•And you su : d yes, I suppose,” he says when lot finishes i *, ‘‘.aid 1 spo 1 ed a i ice little wedding by tunning af or a pig in my potato patch. Well, well. I’ll set that all light.’’ "But—perhaps—I mean ho may have changed his mind,’’ begins Ber ta blushing very prettily. “We’ll see. Biingmea pen, ink and paper, and we’il soon know.” “Here’s a letter for you old hoy,” w rites the hearty old farmer, "given ome to mail at its date. I forgot it. It the news contained is of a nature to become side in three iimnllis, I’ll not lio’d von to a reply.” “Now,’’ says lie, sealing the letter “if ilns fine f llow comes hack to to hold you to your promise, what am I to do for a liousc-keepei?” “There’s Miss Rachel,” says Berta with a compunctious throb, “she’s a very nice lady,” “I think so,’’ asse ts Mr. Wilkins, much relieved by his daughter’s im plied con cut to his contemplated change of life. Wlun Howland c.atne back to Greenville, which he did with all possible exp-ditloii; mid when a month afterwards, in the Jit tie vi luge church, ho received Berta as his wed ded wife from the hands of her fa ther; anl, this couple moving back, Mr. Wilkins and Miss Rachel occu pying the sime position, went ibn ugh the same ceremony, “people said,” they wondered what Mr. Wil kins could he thinking of, to give his only daughter to such a run abont ns Roland Fi ermnn, who did not know his own mind two mon hs at a time; hut that Mr. Wilkins— poor mai l —was likely to receive full puni-limeiil for offences past, present and to come, at tho hands of Miss ltachel, wl o, every one knew, has been trying to catch him ever tiuce his poor w ife died.

He denies that he has expressed distrust of Northern Democrats; denies that he hits lost faith in Mr. Ttldun's election; denies that be has made, is making, or is wiling to make, a Hade or arrange ment with Mr. Hayes. lie says that Tilden had somo votes, that Hayes had some votes, and that it would be better to have either of them for President than a man who received no vo'es at till. Ilu is in favor of a fair and honest counting of ihe voles, and when that is secured lie means to abide by it, as lie thinks every other man will, Ninth and South, who is not willing to destroy his country.
