For announcing candidates for office, SIO.OO FLORENCE’S RET. “And so yon have really and truly enjoyed this mouth in the country cousin CfivcT" “I have, indeed, Florence! and the on ly thing that takes the sting from regiet at leaving this dear old place, is the thought that \ou are to return with me, ami that I may try fliv utmost to make yon enjoy the next month as 1 j have done this. "To induce me into society, to bring | me out, I suppose?” said Florence. But don’t yon think lam lather old for that sort of thing? I have seen twenty, cousin Clive.” “Without one season in London,' 1 said he; “Without one admirer save the j clownish young men of the neighborhood j without a single offer of marriage, if I I mistake net. Floy. It is really shockingto your beauty for so long in such a ! remote place as this-” “As to osiers of marriage, you are j wrong,” replied the young lady laughing j “I have been honored by two, one irom Mr. Sam Gregory, who with a great deal of bashfulness and lidgetting about, asked my consent to be Mrs. Sam, and j the other from the Reverend Weetrop j Dean, a poor curat who couldn’t sound j his r's. I didn’t accept either.” Mr. Clive Ilardinge lifted his hand witli an expression of disgust, and shak- j ing his head replied dolefully, “Which it j will eventually come to, pet haps if you j are not quickly lifted out of this mediocre j class into that higher grade of society to j which you are entitled by birth and po- j sition. lam very glad you are going- j to my mother for a little time; for al - though there is not my dear cousin a more perfect lady in all Loudon than you yet the constant companionship of this j so called upper class of the village might in time cause yon to forget that your j superior birth precluded the possibility j of your ever choosing a husband from) (he young men of the families you are in the ha! it of visiting; for it would ill be seem the Mood of a Ilardinge to mate with one beneath her." The hot blood flew up in a torrent to the girl’s face as her cousin uttered these words for she knew that her mother had been so considered to demean herself when two-aml twenty years before she j disobeyed the commands of a stern pa- i relit and a sterner brother and proudly j placed her hand in the strong warm ! grasp of a tnan who had no sin against j him hut his poverty his ambitions day-; dreams and his love for her. .She remem bered how in this obscure spot they had eked out his meagre pittiancc ; how the j glorious productions of art that his glow j ing imagination had vivified into almost living creations had passed away, and left the noble face drawn and sad, and j the large eloquent eyes that had fought so bravely for them a closed volume of blindness and death. Then the struggle for life for existence the long years of! suffering and sorrow of her early life and ! subsequently the two hundred pounds a year that some unknown relative, dying left them. She had never seen a single member of her mother’s family until afew months j before when Clive Ilardinge, a son of! that brother who has sealed up his fath er’s against his sister all the years of j his life came snddenly upon them in their quiet country home, was struck with ! the refinement that pervaded the atmos- \ phere in which his auat and cousin liv ed and charmed with the rare grace and fresh beauty of the young girl. lie has j toned to create an amiable understan ding between his mother and Mrs Lvsle, ' which being effected as Mrs. Ilardinge j entertained no feeling of resentment a-‘ gainst a woman she bad never seen he j suddenly fancied that the cool fresh breezes of Hillside might have a benefi cial influence upon his town-bred consti- j tution; and therefore without much cir cumlocution he gave a broad hint to j that effect. His aunt took the hint and j invited him. During his stay he and j Florence had been a great deal thrown j together, and witli a constant inter change of thought and opinions passing ' between them grew in a month pretty j we’l to know and appreciate each other. Clive Ilardinge was neither haadsonn nor young; hut he possessed that which people and English women especially value more in men than correctness ol feature or even youth-strength, courage and manliness Five-and thirty years had rolled over his brown head and [eft ! the wavy hair still brown and the gray | eyes undimtmdin the fire of their boy hood. He considered himself a middle | aged man now; and if any Midsummei ! day dream ever had tinged with a trail sient brightness tho even tenor of his j life it was long since rolled up in the I lorgotteii past. Ho took an interest in Florence a deep interest by reason of her j beauty, her innocence and her uuprotec- I tion. Man of the world as he was, thor | ouglily understanding all the ins and ' outs of society tic felt that his cousin I was no common girl that she was at ! once adapted lo fill a higher position than that in which she had yet moved he took this interest to heart and acted rather vaguely upen it. In the pause that succeeded his last remark his keen dicern ncnt, i stmt'y detected the insult he had unintention ally offered her, and with a slight eml a rassment in his face he bent forward and •said earnestly, “Forgive me Floy; do not misunderstand my meaning. 1 am referring to yourself. You will be en gagad before you leave London. Mark my words. | The flush died out ot her face and a j sparkle danced in her eyes as she said i g'aily, “What in one month 1 My good 1 cousin how quickly you are going to dis j [lose of me ! Make no such prophecy, thou oracle of evil.” j "But 1 do,” said Clive. “Let me bet j | you a dozen pair of gloves that my [ire-! I diction comes true.” ; "Against what!” she asked, j “Against—a kiss,” he replied. | “Sir, you supprise me!” said Florence j | “But yon will lose your bel.” I “If 1 lose 1 will pay,” said he, “and if jyov lose you must pay.” “But 1 shall not loso cousin Clive,” j said Flsrencc. “I am sure that none j of the gentlemen to whom you introduce me will satisfy my fastidious taste.” “Wait until you see them, my dear j child,” said Clive. “You are very nn j sophisticated. I only fear they will find | too easy eagress to that little untried ! heart of yours.” | She laughed a laugh that had a ring j of scorn in it with a puzzled expression, I as though he could not quite fathom her as she left the room. Mrs. Easdale’s saloon was crowded j with fashion beauty, and wealth. It was her last hall of the season, and the most brilliant she had given. Amongst: I the assembled ladies it was evident that i : one was the centre of attraction, the j 1 dazzling star around which the smaller i j stars ceased to shine, bhe was quite i surrounded by gentlemen obtrusive in their attention und tiresome in their flattery. She seemed to feel it acutely, ! as she stood with heightened colour and disdainful lips mutely in the rniiltt, She scarcely lifted the curling lashes from her dark black eves or gave the least movement to the hair that covered her shoulders like a golden veil. Siie was perturbed and distressed, and wanted to get away from them. All the evening she had been herself merry and gay ; hut her most careless glance had been met by one almost passionate ill its ad miration, her laughing tones answered by (lie most fulsome flattery that angry with herself and them—having aptly learned in throe short weeks to despise the hollow mockery of wlmt the world ! calls pleasure—she' now stood this last j hour in the ball room in anything but a j happy frame of mind. At least there | was a break in the circle, and the low | tones of the votaries of sash ion ceased fora moment as a young man of quiet gentlemanly bearing made his way up \ to the young lady. “Miss Lysle,” said he permit me to conduct you to the conservatory. You were speaking of——” They had passed through the rooms, and she turned to thank him for leading her away. “But where is Clive ?” she asked, ‘Are we uot soon going home? I am so tired Willie.” ‘ Tired of dancing or of London dissi- I pation, Florence, which ?” he asked. “Both sle replied. “1 wouldn’t live hi :re for worlds, if I am to be diagged . about night after like this.” “Then such a life has no charms for ; you ?” he said. “No indeed was the reply. “I am dis appointed in Clive Ilardinge. I thought him superior to such frivjolfty. He j seems to like it.” l “There you mistake, Floy,” said her j companion. “It is society that courts him; not he who courts society. As you say he is superior to it.” j “Then why does he go into it so much? ! she asked. I “He is performing a sort of penance,” was the reply, “and mixing in gaiety, | which he detests for the sake of one he cares for so much to sec if the pure gold 'of spirituality in her heart will stand ; the test of the scheming world.” j She looked into the dark eyes of Clives 1 dearest friand; but beyond the smile up !on the lips and the slight pressure of ; her hand upon his arm she could read | nothing. . j “I am goiDg home in five days,” she ; ! said as they passed through the rooms. : i “Arc you sorry or glad ?” he asked, j HEKE SHALL THE PRESS THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UNAWED BY PEAR AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN. QUITMAN, GEO., FEBRUARY 12, 1869. “I shall lie glad to see my mother a gain,” she replied ; ‘but I shall bo sorry j to leave my aunt, she lias beeu so kind to me —and—cousin Clive.” "lie is rather old don’t you think, Floy ? something of the old bachelor about him, 100 old to many in fact.” “Who—Clive ?” she said “He is not old is he ? I never noticod it. 11 is hair! is not gray and his face is not wrinkled, j He is very handsome is cousin Clive.” “Handsome, Floy? You must have put on Love’s spectacles surely friend as he is I could never call him handsome yet.” “Don’t talk nonsense, Willie,” said Florence, “1 repeat, Olivo Ilardinge is handsome; he has more strength, might and majesty in his countenance than a and >zeu ordinary men. Here he comes'; now j judge for yourself.” If a weary look and pale face denoted a handsom physique, Clive Ilardinge cer tainly possessed it} at that moment. He came forward to Florence. “Would you like to go now?” he said, kindly; mother is already cloaked, and waiting for the carriage.” ***** Miss Lysle sat at work in her aunt’s moru'ng room, the day before her de parture home- The blue cashmere robe she wore suited well the purity of her complexion and the rich curls of glit tering hair* She looked marvelously pretty, and so thought Clive Ilardinge, as he made in his especial business to visit the room that morning. But her eyelashes were wet; she looked as if she had been shedding a tear or two, silently there to herself; and perhaps the softness and tenderness in her face made her ap pear more beautiful still. Clive carried a long narrow box in his hand, of blue enamel and gilt and placed it under hoi- eves. “The bet, Florence,” said he. “Had ! you forgotten it? You have won it quite i fairly—or will have done so to-morrow, for there yet remains one more day be fore the month is completed. Now will you tell me why yon have so coldly de clined the offers of marriage you have been honored with since your stay with us?” “I did not feel myself honored,” she replied. “One was from a spendthrift and debauchee the other from a brainless' top, who possessed but one idea in the world—that of admiring his own figure.” “But you have repelled admiration so persistently,” said Clive; “others who certainly admired you might have ” “Thank you cousin Clive, for the hot. I May I look?” interrupted Florence Lysle | as she put out her hand for the box. “Certainly not, until to morrow,” was the reply; “then you may wear home the prettiest pair of gloves tho box contains if you like; and when you are gone per haps I shall get back my rest again and my appetite. You have robbed me of bo h since you have been here.” 1 Cousin Clive !” she exclaimed. “I say you liaye robbed me of both,” repeated Clive. “Before I saw you I was able to cat like any other mortal ; but now the dazzling things at tho table are not the plate and crystial, but a pair of snowy hands that keep moving up and down, mesmerise my eyes to look at them. Before you came I could sleep soundly enough and wako refreshed in the morning; but now my dreams ar<?| wild an 1 feverish, of bewildering eyes I and glittering golden hair and one ethe | real form that comes between me and slum I or.” “I’lease don’t cousin Clive,” said Flor ence. “But I will, said lie. “Oh you shall fairly win your bet my little Floy. Ii am a cross old bachelor cousin; hut for all that I mean to tell yon that I love you withal! my heart and soul.” Her head had dropped down suddenly, and the long hair fell over her hot cheeks and her hands trembled and clasped themselves together on her lap. There was a painful pause and when Florence dared to lift her eyes hlio saw I Clive Hardinge’s face hurried in his fol ded arms, quiet and still She rose hesi tatingly and then went up to him, plac ing one soft hand in hie hair while with the other she extended the unopened box. ‘I don’t want your gloves cousin Clive’ . she said. I “Why not?” he asked with white lips. | “Because I have lost my bet,” she re plied turning away her shy face “Florence —my darling Floy, have I j won it?” he exclaimed rapturously start | ing up, and catching her hand. “Yes, and mo toe,” she murmured, as she lifted hen blushing face to his and his arms closed round her in a tight em- j brace. Mrs. Muffles says it is “dreadful” hard to lose a husband. She never got used to it until she lost her fourth. Why are young ladies’ brains like! a speckled trout? Because they love; to sport under a waterfall. What is the most uncertain thing in j life ? A woman’s age.
