broad, wliue brow. Durk blue eyes.
liileU with eari.estiKss at d tr utli, shone
from beneath the long, curling lashes.
A new arrival of passengers caused-
her to step forward, and extending her
hand filled with the fruit, repeat the
cry:
‘Fresh oranges I Please buy some,
gentlemen.’
‘Bj Jove, what a face! Look, Ned.
A peilect beauty. Buy your oranges ?
Yes, every one, you little divinity.
Come, hold up your head.’
‘Let her alone, Charley. Don’t you
see how frightened she is ? Buy ihe
oraugt.s, if you wish, aud stop teasing
her,’ answered his companion.
‘Frightened ? Bosh 1 Site is used
to admiration, I know. Site is a sly
little beauty. Come, give me a good
look into your eyes, and a kiss, and I
will give ycu this,’ holding toward her
a two dollar anc; a tialf gold piece.
The blue eyes, then black with rage,
were turned full upon him.
‘Whew! how- they flash ! Butlcan
stand their lightning. Now the kiss,
my pretty dear.’
He stepped forward, ar.d was about
to put his arm around her, when his
companion exclaim ;
‘For shame, Charles.’-
Just then a strong hand grasped his
collar, and Ofiarley was thrown aside
with a force that almost brought him
to the ground. Recovering himself,
flushed with mortification, quivering
with rage, be exclaimed :
‘What do you mean, sir? What is
she to you ?
‘To me she is an unprotected girl,
and I mean to protect her, or any other
who needs it,’ answered the intruder,
in a voice full of earnestness, his fine
eyes gazing sternjy into those of the
youth, who sneeringly replied :
‘Really I Now, then, Mr. Friend of
the Feminines, protect yourself!’
He made a stride toward the child’s
friend. His companion, catching hold
of hint, said:
‘You are making a fool of yourself,
Charles. Come, the cars are about
leaving. See, you are attracting a crowd.
Come ud, or we will miss this train.’
Austin, yielding to the persuasion
and strong will of his companion, mov
ed off; but looking back over his
shoulder, he hissed forth words so cm
el, unmanly, and contemptible, that we
will not record them here—but they
were Dever forgotten by the trembling
child. Although not fully understand
ing, then, their depth of cruelty, they
sank into her young heart. Charley
Austin had cast forth seeds the fruiw
of which he plenteously reaped in after
years.
The girls gathered around the beau
tiful child.
‘Dtin’l be frightened, Nell.’ ‘You
are a goose, Nell.’ ‘You ar§ a goose,
Nell.’ ‘You are a goose, Neil.’ ‘I’d
give a dozen kisses for that gold piece,’
were the exclamations that filled her
ears.
‘But Nell is made of different Etuff
from you. She’s a little lady—pretty
, Nell—Lady Nell i’ chuckled a ragged
I ‘ little ufehiu, -
The youth who -had defended her
.from the insult still lingered near. He
was eiglheen ; and, after the ardor of
his feeiings had passed off, lie was
stiuck with the nut uncommon ernbar
rassment found in the manner of th >se
of his age. The crowd moved off, and
then, approaching her, he satd, in a
voice sufficiently loud to be heard by
the one or two still loitering near :
‘Do not come to This place again, lit
tle girl. You cannot battle with the
rudeness you will often find here. Good
byl’
He would have liked to have said
m ire ; to have inquired her name and
home; but he fear, a to subject her to
suspicion or ridicule. So he moved off
$nd weut his way, and she hers.
But her little head was often turued
b ck to gaze on him. ‘So good, so
brave 1’ she frequently murmured, as
ghe drew her scarlet cloak round her
frail form, shivering, both with cold
and agitation.
Frequently, in the months after, the
youth visited ihe depot. He of
ten thought of the little otange g rl, and
felt interested concerning bet ; tut he
never saw the chi I’d again.
******
The most fashionable circle of the
elite of P were discussing the mer
its of Eleanore Mordant, the grand
daughter of old Mark Mordauut, who
had that season shone forth so bright
and enchanting in her fresh young
beaut}*. She immediately became the
‘bright particular star*'of that brilliant
firmament.
She had long been the idol of her
grandfather’s heart—a heart which, un-
Eleanore knocked aland gained an en
trance there, was haid, col I, and unfor
giving. He was a rich man ; few more
s:>. For ten years he.had been absent
from Ids home and country, travelling
with the orphan child of his only son ;
and then, after all those years, .he had
returned and settled down once more
amid his old associates and friends.
The latter he had few of, for the peo
ple long remembered hp.w harsh he
had been ; how relentless, when twen
ty and more years before, young Mark,
nis only child, chose, despite all his
father’s entreaties and threats, to con
sult his own heart in the choice of a
wife, and so married Eleanor’s mother,
a beautiful, gentle girl, instead of the
proud heiress his father wished.
The disappointed man discarded his
-on, and never saw i,im after, though
U eunor’s mot. er often appealed to him
during the month of illness preceding
her husband’s death ; after which she
went off with her babe, and never
troubled the unnatural man again.
How it was tiie oid man had grown
at last human, it was not known, or
how he came to open his heart and
home to the child of his injured son.
But every one did know very well*
bow dearly he loved the beautiful Eie-
anore, and was only happy when she
was near him.
8u:tors innumerable thronged the
elegant mansion of Mark Moidaunt.
1 lit^ini.st eligible men of the cit} laid
their hearts and hands at her feet. But
she had love, tor none. Her grandfath
er was delighted at that, lie feared so
much to lose his treasure. Lie sat
reading a letter, one morning, when she
entered his room, and sank on a stool
-at his feet. Throwing the letter in her
lap, he said :
‘There, little lady, will be another
conquest for you. It Charles Austin
is as handsome as when a boy, you will
have to guard well your heart, or he
may steal it away.’
‘Charles Austin! Who is he? I
have never heaid you mention his
name before.’
‘No, he ha3 been out of my mind as
well as sight for many years. He calls
me uncle—believe there is some rela
tionship between us. I was fond of
him belore I found some one else to
love—and he was very fond of the old
man’s gold, I think. Well, he is com
ing here to visit me, and perhaps you
may conclude to divide with him your
grandfather’s love and; money, too.
Hey, little lady ?’
A few days after, Charles Austin
presented himself at the Mordaunt
mansion. Tne promise of his boyhood
was fully realized ; a handsomer man
was seldom seen—elegant, accomplish
ed and facinating.
The days of his visit had scarcely
lengthened into weeks, before he was,
like nearly all the other young men of
P——, desperately in love with the
beautiful Eiear.ore. But to saye him,
hi could not tell whether she cared
for him any more than for the others.
However, be was winning his way rap
idly into the good will of his un
cle. * • * * * *
‘Come, Hal, you must really g > with
me to-night. I want to introduce you
to the beauty of F . You know
the adage, ‘misery loves company’—I
want to add another to ber list of con
quests, and to mine of consolers,’ said
a young man to his friend Henry
W orth.
‘Excuse me, I would rather not—
you know bow little 1 care for such
ccnes—and the actors in them would
not care to have me there. Poor men
cannot afford to waste their time so. I
must work hard and study, while such
as you can enjoy, or idle time, just as
you choose to term it.’

would give all I have to be wbat you -^ u ^ cDt
are, man—good—good name, good
heart, and a more than good mind. But
do oblige me this once. You will go,
I know. Thank you.’
‘There! thei e she come?; Hal—lean
ing on Austin’s arm, too. Is she not
lovely. U dying almost for her-^
see, how be looks at her.’ -
As she cams forward, a vision of
beauty and grace, Hal Worth’s eyes
were sivited on her, but the mlin
on whose arm she leaned.
‘Austin! Where have I seen him be
fore? His face is very familiar,’ said
Worth to his friend.
‘Not likely you have ever tpet. He
has been in Germany for fep years past,
answered IDs fiiend.
An hour afterw*ard, Harry Worth
was beside Eleanore. Never had she
been so lovely. Austin ground bis
teeth in rage as the hours flew by, ani^
Worth spill lingered by her side.
‘Another victim,’ whispered one.
Perhaps not, she may be caught thfe
time. Worth is worth a dozen of thf
fellows who have been Jangling round
her,’ answered another.
‘When will you have mercy, Elanore,
and end this suspense ?’ Austin asked
that night.
‘In ten days Ishall be twenty—grand
pa is going to give me any thing I maly
astc. We are to have a fancy ball iij
the evening. If you will find me at
twelve o’clock, your suspense will be
end' tl; and I feel sure, after then, you
cannot find it in your heart to chide
me longer,’ she 1 answered, smiling so
brightly that he was-bevy ildered. What
could she mean ? Was it love for bjw—
or what?
The birth-night party was the most
brilliant of the season. Hundreds were
there in all the most elegant and ludi
crous characters—among them Henry
Worth. It was not so had a matter to
get him into gay jpenes as formerly. He
has gone the way of the rest.
Elanore, beautifully dressed 33
beeca, the Jewess, received her guests,
unmasked. Ad hour after she was
missed—and while Austin was hunting
lor the beautiful Rebecca, Henry Worth
discovered the bewitching little fairy^
who found him sighing among the!
flowers in the conservatory. Touching
him with her hand, she bade him sjteak
his deare.-t wish. How could he'resist?
He told her all. ‘Fool, fooil’ fie mur-1
mured, as she smiled and flitted away.
Another hour passed on. Austin,
wearied with hig search, in vain consult
ed his watch. Five minutes of twelve l—-
the band struck up the march,'and the
guts s were selecting partners to the
3upper-room, when a clear, chiiclisl^
\ 0*CC £>nil.Y GUi
‘Oranges ! fresh oranges ! Gentlemen^
please buy some oranges.’ And a Ut
ile gtrl came along, wrapped in ah old
seartet cloak she had drawn closely
over her head, but still discovering a
quantity of short, clustering black curbs
—sue carried a basket, filled with oran
ges, which she dispensed aruohg the
company.
‘Oranges, sir—please buy soma
oranges,' she said, approaching Charles
Austin. Sue placed one in his hand^
and gazed an instant oniy on his bewil
dered face.
‘Great Heaven! what can this mean ?’
He gazed after ber as she flitted away.
She stopped again before Herrry.
Wurth, and repeated her cry.
There they stood—4he three 1 They
had met again, as ten years before..
And again the two, no longer youths,
but men, were gazing angrily at each
other. All was plain enough to both,
then. She passed an orange to Henfy
Worth. Ausun clenched his fingers'
on his, when it opened, and to hist sur
prise he saw a neatly folded, tiny note.
He m ved away from the crowd, en
tered the libary and read :
‘Now, as then, ten years ago, I fear
you. Recall your words, aud you ctyt;
not wonder!
Nell, the Little Orange Girl.’
In the conservatory, away from the"
eyes of all. Henry Worth read the'
little slip his orange contained:
‘Will you protect me—now as then?
I will trust you. Nell.’
That morning Henry Worth was
happy. Mr. Mordaunt bad given
Eleanore the boon she craved—his
blessing on her love. And Henry
Worth knew haw it was that after that
notable day in the depot, she went there
no more. Her mother died sooq.after.
Among her things, Eleanore found
letters that told her who her relations
were. She went immediately to her
grandfather, and won her way to his
heart.
From his uncle, Charles Austin
heard Nell’s story. How deeply he
uewailed his fate 1—‘Never were .the
indUcretions of youth so bitterly visited
upoD a man,’ he murmured, and went
his wav, a wiser, if not better man.
It is asserted that there never was. a
better ‘stand’ of wheat in Nortb.Georgia
and Ala’qama at this season ot the year
than there is now. There wasfully the
usual amount putin last fall; the ground'
was, as a general thing, better prepared’
than has been customary in former
years, and there is every reason to; b#p#
for a good crop at the next haryeat.
