"A’ilfe.jan 25, 1-4 THE CARTERSVILLE EXPRESS OED IKUIDROI’S DECLPTEOY BY ANNIK FROST. ‘I wonder what old llu re drum will give us for a Christmas present,’ said Nellie Hastings, as she twisted her curls before the sitihgroom mirror, and admired her pretty face, as therein displayed. ‘Don’t, Nellie,’ said her sister Ag nes, looking up from her sewing ; ‘nick names are intensely vulgur, and it pains me to hear our kind friend so spoken of.’ ‘Kind friend, indeed!’ said the beau ly saucily ; ‘what has he ever given us but a few prosy sermons?’ ‘O. Nellie, what should we have •done without his care for us ? Think how cheap the rent of this little cottage is made Air us, and how many scholars he has procured for you, and how well he pays me (or the sewing. He is a kind friend,’ and tears stood in Agnes Hasting’s eyes as she spoke. •VVeli, then, don’t cry about it, sis,’ and Nellie gave her sister a hasty kiss. •I won’t call him nicknames any more, if it displeases you. and I shall soon be independent of his kindness,’ with a scornful emphasis on the last word.— ‘There is one of ray tiresome brats at the gate now,’ and she sauntered into the little parlor, to meet the music scholar corning up the garden walk, to take his lesson. You would scarcely have supposed the sisters twins hail you seen them on the dull December day that opens my story. Nellie, tall, gracelul, and bril liantly beautiful, was in the full glow of her youthful beauty, her rich brown hair fell in profuse curls round a face with regular features, a clear red and white complexion, and lighted by a pair of large black eyes lull of fire ar. and life. Agues, pale and thin, with a somewhat sallow skin, hair brushed smoothly back from her face, and gathered in a heavy coil at the back of her head, looked at least five years older than her sister. Roth wore mourning dresses, but while that of Agnes was heavy unbroken black, her sister’s was modified by white ruffles, and profusely trimmed with glittering bugles. Another difference more piti ful than all, Agnes was deformed. Five years be lore this dull December night, Helen and Agnes Hastings then just seventeen years old, made their rfe but into fashionable society as bells and heiresses. Beautiful, accomplish ed and graceful daughters of a reputed millionaire, they became at once the centre of the ga> circle in which they moved—they were motherless from in lanoy, but their father’s sister had filled their mother’s place during their whole existence, and still directed all house hold affairs. The family history had been a rath er odd oce. Mr. Hastings was a twin, and this sister, born in the same hour with himself, had never left him.— One other child, a younger son, had shared their parent’s love, but for long years he had been a wanderer, taking his share of an immense family estate to travel in foreign countries, sending home occasionally a box of curiosities, dresses, fans, or playthings for his little nieces, hut otherwise ignoring the ex istence ol his brother and sister. As I have said the girls became at once belles in the circle of fashion, and suitors were not wanting, some attach' ed doubtless bj youth, beauty and tal ent, others probably attached by the reputed wealtii of Mr. Hastings. For two years the twins reigned as queens, heart-whole and gav, Agnes was something of a blue, and had been guilty of poetry. Helen added to her beauty a wonderftl talent for music, and a superb voict. Cultivated to the highest perfection iy her proud father, this voice richly deserved the fame it had acquired, and a few saloons con sidered their visiting list perfect where the beautiful younf singer was not a guest. From early cliiichood thefd had been great dissimilarly in the charac ters of the sisters. Ajncs, grave, even reserved, was fond ot reading, some thing of an artist, with great sweetness and gentleness of dis[osition, and at sixteen a member of the Episcopal church, and a Christian, sincerely try ing to keep herselt ‘unspotted from the world.’ Nellie, on the (ontrarj , was a dashing, lively girl, superficial in all studies excepting music, .’ull of animal spirits, and thinking religion ‘very nice for old people.’ Two years after their debut, the grave Agnes was betrothed to a young lawyer, poor but talented, with a heart full of devotion to his beautiftl betroth' ed,and a head that promised : n lime to win him distinction in his elnsen pro fession. The engagement w;s satis factory to relatives on both sites, and preparations for the wedding were commenced, when Agnes met vith an accident lharerippled her for life She was driven out with her lover, wlen the horse became frightened, and unking a sudden plunge forward, threw he-from her seat into the road. Her .njuiies at first appeared to be slight, but as time went on the physisians found the inju ry to the spine was twisting the figure to one side, and making a limping giit and a curved back unavoidable. In tie agony and horror of discovering tbs Agnes dismissed her lover, spite of his prayers and protestations, and thei months of bitter repining oroved that even her Christian spirit could sink under her heavy burden. It was a still greater affliction that roused instead of crushed her, and restored her faith, pa tience and hope. Her father commit ted suicide, alter perilling I:is own and his sister’s fortune in one speculation, and losing all; and that sister, depriv ed at once of borne, fortune, and the brother she idolized, in one short Imonfh followed him to the grave.— Nellie was frantic under this complica tion of trouble, and now Agnes, roused from her own selfish grief, came out true and faithful in the storm around her. Friends came forward to offer coun sel and assistance, and from the wreck of the once noble fortune a small sum was secured, barely sufficient to clothe the oiphans in an humble style, greatl v at variance with their once splendid wardrobes. By the advice of their father’s lawyer, the girls left the city and went to a small country town, where, by their needlework, they earn ed a support. They bail been but a little time in their rew home till a stranger, a gen tleman past middle age, came to reside at G . It was not long before he became acquainted with the young seamstresses, and in a short time so won their confidence that he became a fast friend. His means appeared large, for he bought a cottage for himself, and two others which he rented, one to the sisters, and a large handsome stone mansion, in process of erection, was soon known to be his future home.— Having letters that made him at once influential in G ■, he used that in fluence to procure music scholars for Helen, who bore the drudgery of sew ing but badly, and himself kept Agnes busy on the most exquisite of shirts, collars and cuffs, at large prices, but of the most elaborate finish. The music lesson over, Helen came again to her sister's side. •Still at that iiandkerchief ?’ she said, touching the dainty embroidery grow ing under her sister’s busy fingers.— ‘YVhat a dandv old—Mr. Lawrence is.’ ‘I think. Nell, dear, it is more the desire to aid me giving employment, than from any dandyism of his own, that he has such wonderful shirts, and so many handkerchiefs with his intials embroidered in the corner.’ ‘Aggie,’ a long pause—then again : ‘Aggie, is he in love with you ?’ Startled and shocked, Agnes let the work fill from her hands. ‘Nell, how can you ?’ ‘Well, but, Agnes, see how odd it is.’ ‘Here we are perfect strangers, with no earthly claim upon him, and he takes as much interest in our concerns as if he was our father.’ ‘O, Nellie, no, nu, a thousand times no to youi question. He. so good and noble, and I—what am I V and she touched the shoulder that rose some inches above its natural place. ‘Rut, dear me, Agnes, he’s as old as the hills, ar.d as stupid as possible. Ot course he cannot expect youth and beauty too in « wife. I think he will propose to you, and so does Harold.’ ‘Harold?’ •There, don’t look astonished. Os course you know what Harold came here for.’ ‘But, Nellie— ’ ‘Hear me out. He came to make love to me, and propose ; well he has proposed, and I said yes, and in Janu ary I will be his wife.’ ‘Nellie !’ ‘Why not?’ and the young girl’s head rose with a haughty look ol de fiance. ‘lie—he—you know, Nell, they say he is not very constant.’ ‘Fudge ! A parcel of old maids who want lo win him, and cannot, tattle for revenge. I tell you, Agnes, lam sick of this life,’ and she sprang from her seat and paced the (loot with quick steps, to and fro, like some beautiful wild beast, caged but untamed. ‘l’m srk of drudging over stupid children, who can’t or won’t learn ; sick of hear ing glorious melody tortured into hide- 1 ous sounds i sick of being chained to hours; sick of poverty, obscurity and toil! Harold Grantville is rich’ He loves me ; he will take me away from this wretched village to a circle such as I once reigned in.’ ‘Do you love him, Helen ?’ 'Well enough to get along. He adores me, and tint is much more to the point.’ ‘But Nellie—his—his —intellect.’ ‘O, he’s a fool, I know. So much the better—l will rule him. You may tell old Humdrum to-night, Agnes, and he can send my bridal present at Christmas.’ And she left the room singing as she went a gay air from Traviatfl. Agnes sank into a deep reverie. Her sister’s questions had touched upon bit ter memories and a painful present. — Back over intervening years, her thoughts traveled to recall the lover of her girlhood. She pictured again the frank handsome face, heard again the tender caress of long ago, and then came the agony ot parting. She heard the pleading words to which she would give no ray of hope. Loving him utterly she had resolved never to burden his brilliant career by giving him an ailing, crippled wife; never to bear the misery ot seeing his love turned to pity; never to hear a reproach for loving herself better than him. He had left her, left the city, and she knew nothing more. Was she to have another trial now? Probing hei heart with a firm un shrinking touch, she found there a re spectful affection for her kind friend; a sense of dependence upon his ad.vice and friendship that it would be very bitter to lose She knew that it would cost him much pain to wound him, be a sore trial to her to see him no more, yet she did not love him. Too well she knewthe feeling where heart springs to meet heart, too welt she remem bered what dreams love had awakened in her young life, to mistake this calm respectful friendship for the tender pas sion. Yet. if Helen was right! If he loved I he-, and was seeking to win her love, wlnt had she done? In her grattitude CARTERSVILLE, GA., JANUARY 24, 1808. for his kindness, her real frankly es* pressed pleasure in his society, she hau not encouraged him to think he misfit win a dearer place still? Hot tears were coursing down her pallid cheeks, when her hands were taken in a firm clasp, and a gentle voice spoke her name, ‘Agnes, you are in trouble. She knew She voice, and the hot blood rushed fora moment to her face; then she said hesitatingly :—• ‘1 was thinking of the past.’ ‘You must not think too sadly,’ said her friend, seating herself beside her, ‘perhaps the future may have bright days too. I —you know to-morrow is Christmas and I have an offering to lay at your feet, rny little friend, that you may not altogether despise. I have long— ’ ‘Good afternoon!’ ‘Nellie’s gay voice interrupted them. She was followed soon by her lover, and the tete a fete was not resumed. It was late before all the visitors had departed and Nellie threw herself at her sister’s feet. ‘Well, old Humdrum must see how Harold and I stand, and if he don’t send me something handsovn tc-morrow he's too mean to live. ‘G, Nellie, don’t talk so.’ •Well, I won’t tease you. You are the dearest of all sisters after all, and maybe sure of the best room in my fu ture home, and all the love your mad cap sister can give you, ‘Thanks dear, but I can never con sent to be dependent upon Ms. Gran, ville.” ‘Stuff and nonsense. You may sew your dear fingers off, if that will ease your conscience. I’m sure it will fre as well to sew for me and Harrold as for old—Mr. Lawrence.” ‘But—’ ‘There, don’t say a word. To-mo:r-j row I'll convince you by all the rules of logic that it would be barbarous cru elty to desert me, but now I am tco sleepy. Good night, By the way won’t the old maids’ tongues run? Harold and I’ll be served up all over the vil lage with pepper sauce. Good-night.! Pleasant dreams to you!” But dreams will not come without sleep, and sleep would not visit tie cripples pillow. All night she lav j thinking of the truly wise counsel so iong offered her, of the hours of pleas ant intercourse so soon to end, thinking too somewhat sadly of a future of lone- 3 liness, or spent in the home of a man she could not respect,and whose money ' had won her frivolous sister’s hand. | And of what was Mi.

Then he th o’l of his new home, whose large rooms were furnished and ready for occupants, and he fancied her presence making the house a home, her taste adorning the rooms, her smiles welcoming the mas ter when lie. entered; and, less selfish, he looked forward to the life of ease and rest he meant to offer her, lestor ing the bloom to her cheeks and the light to her eyes. Christmas day dawned bright and clear. The sisters were seated in their little setting room after breakfast, when Mr. Lawrence's servant handed in a small parcel. Upon being opened, it was found to contain a set of diamonds of exquisite puritv, beautifully set, a tinny note for Helen, and a letter for Agnes. *() Aggie! are they not superb? And for me; see my name is on the card in side. But’—and as she read her little note, her cheeks grew crimson, ‘is not this spiteful?’ and she read aloud: ‘Will Miss Helen accept the accom panying jewels if they are handsome enough to save Old Humdrum trom the charge of meanness? 1 ‘Read your letter Agnes. Os course, as he sends you nothing, he offers you himself lor a Christmas gift. There was a long pause, then a cry from Agnes—‘God is very good to me!’ ‘What is it, At?gie?’ ‘Sit here, Nellie.

You will slay with us till you are married, and I promise you as hand some a trousseau as New York can tur nish ;but here,’ and he turned to Agnes 'I look for some comfort after a lonely wandering life., She gave him a tearful but happy smile. ‘You love me, Agnes?' he said gently ‘As fondly as you can desire.’ ‘Then you will accept my offer? Come the carriage is at the door, your home is ready for you. I invited Harold to dine at frie new house to-dav. "so yon " ill come at once, to make a home, and' the beginning ©1 a life for ‘Old Hun drum.’ A Strange Story. A certain Dr. , many years ago. traveling in the West, became acquain ied, on board a steamboat, with a Mr. i Hamilton, who had been a member of i the Legislature from his iPistrivt, and was again a candidate for that office. After passing their time pleasantly, and becoming well acquainted with each other in the course ot the trip, Hamil ton, on landing, invited the doctor to pass to his house in the village,, which was kept by his sister, and tarry with him while he stayed in that part of the country. The doctor remained with *o«m a short time, and then departed on the land inspecting tour into the interior, % which was the object of his visit to the west. On leaving the village on horseback, Hamilton accompanied the doctor to show him his way, but becoming in terested in the conversation of hiscom rpanion, and r.ot being particularly en gaged at home, he continued with him when, among a number of branching roads, they lost their way. After journeying on until dark, in hope of reaching some house where they might obtain the requisite direction, they reached, just at night-fall, the banks of a liver on which they found the en campment of three stout laboring way farers, with their families and wagons. They asked permission to spend the night with the party, and spent a por tion ol it around the fires, engaged in conversation on their various plans of emigration and settlement. At daylight preparations were made for separation, and Dr. received from one of the three men the direction of the desired road. He told him there were two roads, called the ‘upper’ and •lower’ roads, bin the ‘lower’ one was that which he should take. He took the one advised, and started with Hamilton. They went a short dis tance together, when Hamilton bade him good-bye and left him. But be fore he departed, the doctor told Ham ilton that he knew he was in embar rassed circumstances, and wished to aid him if he could. He offered to give him SSOO. This Hamilton refus ed, but finally accepted a loan conditionally, to be refunded punctual ly at the specified time. He felt grateful for this kindness and to reciprocate his good will, according to his humble means, took a breastpin from his shirt, and giving u to the doc fmr. 'Joeui.rtjilr, that, hp hoftH to see it some day adorning the bosom of some fair daughter ot the West. In return fir this the doctor took a neat penknife from Lis pocket, on which was a silver plate with his name en graved on it, and on parting gave it to Hamilton. Hamilton had gone but a short distance from where he had left the doctor, when he heard the sharp crack of a rifle, and immediately after a deer bounded out before him and fell dead on the road. Hamilton got ofi his horse to examine the animal, and in doing so got the cuffs of his shirt sleeves and his pantaloons and waist coat bloody, lie again mounted his horse and reached home. As soon as he did so he changed his clothes and gave them to his sister to wash, desir ing her to do so at once. Thai day he went round the village and collected together his various bills, which he paid. At night, after closing his of fice, he stopped at the village tavern, on his way to see a young lady to whom he was engaged to be married. Several persons came in while he was there and declared that a murdered man had been found on a certain road. Hamilton immediately replied : ‘Heav ens !it must be rav friend, the doc tor!’ From the tavern he continued on his way to the house ol his betrothed, and while there her father came in with three police officers, who arrested him for murder, lie was taken to prison, and was told the circumstances which led to suspecting him. He was told that it was known that lie had left the town with the doctor, and was the last person seen with him; that he had been in difficulties before his return, but had on that day paid all his debts ; that his pistol and breastpin had been found beside the body of the murdered doctor; that he had pretended to lose his way in a country which was well known lo him ; and finally that he had come home with blood stains on his clothes, which fie had given to his sister with orders to wash immediately. On hearing this story recounted, Ham ilton threw up his hands and exclaim ed that ‘he was a lost man.’ He was tried, convicted, and sen tenced. The day for his execution arrived, but Hamilton was too ill to receive the final action of the law, and was respited. And before his respite had expired Hamilton had died in prison. All these facts had, of course, satis fied the public mind that the verdict was just, and that Hamilton was the murderei —but about three years after wards one of the three men with whom cur travelers fiad bivouaced on the bank of the river was tried and con victed in the far West, of murder. — Belore his execution he conlessed that he was the person who had slain the doetoi—that he had misled him as to the road—that he had stolen Hamil ton's pistol from his holster during the night, and left it by the doctor’s body, and that he had heard in the chat round the camp fire that the doctor had money with him, and was engaged in the purchase ol laud.
