THE YOUNO WIDOW.
She was modest but not bashful,
Free and easy, but not bold;
Like as apple, ripe and mellow.
Not too young, and not too old:
Half inviting, half repulsing.
Now advancing, and now shy—
There is mischief in her dimple.
There is danger in her eye.
She has studied human nature.
And is skilled in all her arts;
Kb a has taken her diploma,
As the mistress of all hearts;
She can tell the very moment
When to sigh snd when to smile—
O. a maid is wmetime* chaming,
Bat the widow att (A? ickilt .
Are yon sad ? how very serious
Will her handsome face become;
Are you angry ? she is wretched',
Lonely, friendless, tearful, dumb.
Am won mirthful ? how her laughter,
Silver sounding, will ring out;
She can play and catch yon,
As the the trout.
Ye old bachelors of fortv,
Who havis grown so baM and wise.
Young Americans of twenty,
With the leve-looks in your eyes—
You may practice all the lessons
Taught by Cupid before the fall,
llutd know a little widow
Who could win and fool you all.,
VVOS J!V CARDS.
"For Christine.”
“For Christine !” the stranger repeat
ed as he took his plane at the table, while
the old woman, with a ringing laugh,
shuffled the cards once more, and again
the game went on.
It was a wild wierd sceue, which per
haps could not have been witnessed in
any other part Of* th# globe.
A group of mou, in every description
of dress numbering no less thnu a hun
dred, stood, loolupg on—some m aileuce,
some uttering aq|hs and bandying coarse
jokes, as they' watch*,! Madame Dnpniy,
the wickedest woman in the colonies,
fleece her last victim.
Two weeks before, she announced that
alio should set her daughter up to be
played for. If the man lost he was to
pay Madame one hundred pounds ; if he
won—Christine was to puss into his
Lauds, the. Madnme’s control over her at
an end !
This was Madame,’* latest desperate
game, and in anticipation of this she had
kept her daughter in seclusion. Only a
few had ever looked upon her face, and
those few raved so about her beauty that
it inflamed the heart# of their comrades.
To-night she bail stood before them.
Never had their eyes fallen on such love,
liiiess. Madame arrayed her in costly
robes; but even though she bad bern
clad in rags, ber rich, radiant, dusky
lieauty would have liewildered the eye.
Her beauty infatuated the beholder,
and one by one tbe men udvauced, and
flung down their one hundra 1 pound
stake, and one by one arose defeated,
while Madatne’s servant swept the gold
away.
Some risked, but the game weut on ;
others played game after game, nntil
their pockets were cleaned out, before
they would give np.
Madame was exultant; she was reap
ing a rigli harvest to-night. What a
Incky thought it had been 1
Her skill in cards was something al
most infernal, as many poor fellowsoould
attest to their sorrow. Hardly a miner
with his bag of gold, came down from
the mountains whom the
not hire into her deb ; and once in the
fascination would be so strong that when
they went out, did so rained. Some bad
retrieved their fortunes ; others ‘had
gone to the dogs’ and many a poor fel
low had filled a suicide’s grave.
To-night but few had intended to play
when they entered, but now the last vic
tim was sitting down. He kept his hat
slouched over his eyes ; no one knew
him. He had dropped in to look on, he
Lad no intention to have anything to do
with the 'uellish game,’ as he called it.
Madame played like one possessed,
but her good luok was leaviug her. She
laid down ho card ber opponent coaid
not defeat; and, as the game progressed,
stillness reigned, every sound died out—
all were absorbed in seeing if, indeed,
Christine Dupray was to be won to
night.
One car I more ! Madame threw the
pack on the floor in a rage, and the
stranger arose, saying 4
‘Christine is mine !’
A wild, deafening cry arose ; though
defeated themselves, the men were glad
that someone had won her—Madame
could not play that game over.
The stranger advanced to Christine;
he saw the wild look of affright in her
besotifal, dusky eyes, and his voice in
tuitively became softer, as he said :
‘Get your hat. This is no place fer
you. You will he Safer with me than
here,’ glancing around ui>on the rough
wild group.
As one in a dream ahe obeyed him,
and the men parted to let them pass out
Madame said no word of adieu to her
daughter ; she ouly muttered curses up
on the fellow whose skill was greater
than her own.
(The otlcehln Journal.
VOL* VL
Tbe stranger tank the girl to a hote
and early next morning he took her ‘to
parts unknown' to those who had tried
to win her ; but in reality only to place
her in a good boarding-school in one of
the cities.
H# then paid for a year's tuition in ad
vance. He gave them his address, wish
en them to write twice a year and inform
him of her progress ; and then, bidding
the girl to keep to herself all of her his
tory, he took his departure.
Four years passed away, Christine’s
beauty had increased, not diminished.
She had not looked upon her guardian’s
face (for as such she spoke of her own
er,) but he was ever in her mind, asso
ciated with that awful night. Even now
all tbe swarm of wild faces swarm before
her vision and made bar sick at heart.
From the little, ignorsut, fourteen year
old child, she had developed into • glow
ing, educated, refined young lady of
eighteen, and now a letter came ad
dressed to herself. It read :
‘lt is four years since I saw you. Your
school days are drawing to a close. lam
coming to ask you to be my wife, and go
with me to a home of my own.”
There was no word that she belonged
to him, nothing that indicated his owner
ship of her, but she shrank back from
the letter with affright. She could not
moot this man ! She dare not meet him !
What must she do?
She went out into the open air. At a
little distance she could see a steamer at
! the wharf, almost ready to leave for the
] Australian shore. A wild thought to es
| cape came into her mind. She had been
kept in money, of which she had made
little use. l’erlmps she had enough to
take her far away. She returned to the
school, secured her money and jewel ß
and returned to the boat.
She had barely time to write a note
before the plank was pulled in, and amid
cheers ami goodbyes the boat sturted on
her journey. She purchased a ticket,
making an excuse for coming so late that
she had just received a letter which sum
moned her to England.
Two days later Mr. nardeliffo mode
his appearance at the aaliool and asked
for his ward, Christine. The matron
handed liiin a sealed envelope. It con
tained the note she had scribbled on the
uiomout of her departure, and ran thus:
"I cannot stay to meet you. lam now
ou board the Eagle, and before you get
this, will be far away. lam not going
out of ingratitude. I remember what
you have done for me. You rescued me
from degradation wors* thnu death, and
have given me an education which
but few in the country receive. And
now, out of the goodness of your heart,
not knowing how else to dispose of me,
you are w illing to many me, rather than
allow me to be cast on the world friend
less. Such all act I cannot permit. You
shall not he bound to Christine Dupray,
daughter of “the wiekodest woman in the
colonies.” The blight would lie fatal to
as both, I leave my thanks, and Chris
tine will pray for you as long as the
breath of life is in her body. Farewell,
f jrever. ”
He re-read the note, and then turned
to the preceptress, who was standing
nervously awaiting him to speak.
“My protege has gone to England,” lie
said quietly. “Hhe could not wait to
consult me. I hope she had money to
defray her expenses.”
The woman breathed more freely. She
had expected a scene-—expected to be up
braided for not keeping a stricter watch
over her pupil.
“I think she had,” she answered.—
Yon were very liberal in yonr allowances
of spending money, and Miss Christine
was very careful; she never frittered it
away as other girls,”
“Have yon any bills against me?” he
enquired.
“None whatever.”
“Then good day,” and he was gone.
Six years later.
Guy Hardcliffe had succeeded in the
mines beyond his wildest expectations.
Almost at the last moment, when his
courage was beginning to fail, he had
struck npon such a streak of gold, in
Golden Gulch, that his fortune was made
in a few days. The word came to him
that his uncle.was dead, and he came in
to the Hardcliffe property and title.
He sailed for England, and went to his
new home. Everything was strange to
him. The customs of his new life—every
thing was dull, and he gave it up and
went to Paris, to see if ho could there be
amused for a little while.
Mademoiselle Santelli was advertised,
and many were flocking to see her. She
was the new cantatrice, about whom al*
men were going crazy. Her beauty and
her voice were raved about, until Guy
Hardcliff determined to go and see her
himself.
Onae in the building he was spell
bound. In the beautiful creature, whoee
glowing loveliness infatuated all who
went to see, he recognized the girl won
by a game of cards—Christine Dnpray!
He watched, he listened, and thathonr
he felt his doom sealed. No woman bad
ever thrilled him as this woman did. ; no
w <man had ever seemed the same.
He made no remarks, bnt asked his
friend her history.
“Bhe came from Australia,” his friend
said—“an orphan, alone. Her voice on
shipboard attracted old Mezzo, and he
engaged her to go to Ifcily and have ber
talent educated. She dl l so, and when
he intnylnced her to tbe pnblis she was
immediately aUCUessfnl. Men were mad
about her wherever she went, and Mez
zo's widowed sinter traveled with her,
and took care of her, and no one. could
aay a word derogatory of her.”
Hardcliffe listened like one in a dream.
“Introduce me," he said.
YVhsn brought in #lose contact with
her he admired her even more than when
on the stage, but to him, as to the rest,
she maintained tbe coldest politeness.
He knew that she did not recognise him,
for he had changed in appearance, and
his true name she had never known.
Day by day lie hanntod her, and when
she was about to leave Paris he suddenly
became frenzied, and told her he could
not live without her.
She listened k> his torrent of words
with trembling lips.
“Do not say more,” she pleaded.—
“You do not know wliut you ask. I shall
never marry.”
“YVliy not?”
“My past,” she said, quietly—“l can
not reveal it, and it forbids such a thing. ”
He approached nearer.
“Christine,” he said softly, “Chris
tine, I know it all, and there is nothing
in that to separate us.”
“You—yon"—she faltered— “were—”
“The mau who won yon, Christine,
let me win you again.”
And he did. He never regretted hav
ing won Christine for his wife from the
“wickedest woman in the oolonies,” wlie
confessed at the last moment that she
was not her own daughter but only an
adopted child.
The Way Astors Are Made.
A Munson street man being told that
there were several pieces of tin which
needed (Sending, conceived the idea of
getting an non and -ol ’o , end do ng
the mending himself. His wife, filled
with vague forebodings perhaps, said
that the expense was such a (rifle that it
would hardly pay to do it oneself, to
which he responded :
“I’ll admit that in this one instance it
would not pay, lint there is something
being iu want of repair every little while,
and if I have the tools here for fixing it,
we are saved just so much expense right
along. It may not. he mil -h in the course
of a year, blit every little helps, slid iu
time the total would amount to n nios lit
tle lump. We don’t want the Astors
lugging off all the money in the country,
by gracious.”
He got the iron—one dollar—and fifty
cents’ worth of solder, and tea cents’
worth of r sin. He came homo with
these things and went into the kitchen, j
looking so proud and happy that his
wife would have been glad lie got them,
were it not for an overpowering dread of !
an impending muss. Hoc died for the I
articles ueediug repair. His wife brought J
out a pan.
“Where’s the rest? Bring ’em all out ;
an' let mo make one job of ’em while
I’m about it.”
He got them all, and seemed to be
disappointed that there were not more of
them. He pushed the iron into the fire,
got a milk-pati inverted on his knee, and
with the solder in his hand, waited for
the right heat,
“That iron only cost a dollar aud it'll
never wear out, aud there is enough sol
der in this piece to do twenty-five dollars
worth of mending,” he explained to his
wife.
Pretty soon the iron was at the right
heat, he judged. He rubbed the rosin
about the hole which was to be repaired,
held the stick of solder over it. and care
fully applied the iron. It was an intense
ly interesting moment. His wife watched
him with feverish iuterest. He said,
speaking laboriously as he app[ied the
iron : “The-only-thing-I-regret-about-it
-is-that-I-didn’t-think-of-getting-this-be
fore-we—” Then ascended through that
ceiling and np into the very vault of
heaven the awfulest yell that woman ever
beard, ami the same instant the solder
ing iron fiew over the stove, the pan
went clattering across the floor, and the
bar of solder struck the wall with such
force as tg smash right through both the
plaster and lathe. Aud before her hor
rified gaze danced lfcr husband in an
esetasy of agony, sobbing, screaming and
holding on to his left leg as desperately
as if it was made of solid gold aud stud
ded with diamonds.
“Get the camphor, why don’t you ?”
he yelled: “Send for a doctor ! Oh-oh-
I’m a dead man 1” he shouted.
Just then his gaze rested on the sol
dering iron. In an instant he caught it
up and hurled it through the window
without the preliminary of raising the
sash.
It was some time before the thorough
ly frightened and confused woman learn
ed that some of the molten solder had
run through the hole in the pan and on
to his leg, although she kuew from the
first that something of an nnusual nature
had occurred. Sho didn’t semi for the
doctor. She ramie and applied the ponl
itices herself, to save expenses. She said :
“We don't waut the Astors lugging off
all the money iu the country, by gra
cious.”
“Come, Marin, and m’t yon he too cun
ning,” he sheepishly expostulated.

traditional katcliet, and then hid the de

covered the eat and interviewed her sou.
He suid: “I did it, mother, with ray

can tell the whole truth about this affair. ’

didn’t. She said: “Come across my

It cost $41,000,000 last year to support

Eighteen hundred and seventy-six is tl e
Centennial year. It is uiso the year in
which an opposition House of Representa
tives, the first since the war. will be in pow
er at Washington: and the v-.-ir „f the
twenty-third election of a President of the
United States. All of these events are sure
to be of gre.it interest and importance, es
pecially the two latter : mid nil of them and
everything connected with them will he ful
ly and freshly reported und expounded in
Tux Bun.
The opposition Bouse of Representatives,
taking up the line of inquiry opened yeses
ago by The Sun, will sternly and diligeutly
investigate the corruptions and misdeeds of
Grant’s administration; and will, it is to
bo hoped, lay the foundation for anew and
better period iu our national history. Os
all this IHZ Sun will ooutsif templets aud
accurate accounts, ftu-ui-.lAug- Its readers
with early aid trustworthy information up
on these absorbing topics.
The twenty-third Presidential election,
with the preparations for it. will be memo
rable as deci ling upon Grant’s aspirations
for a third term of power and plunder, and
still more as deciding who shall be the can
didate of the party of Reform, and as elect
ing that candidate. Concerning all these
subjects, those who lead Tut Sun will have
the constant means of being thoroughly
well informed.
The Weekly Sun, which has attained a
circulation of over eighty thousand copies,
sidy has its readers iu every Stipe and
Territory, and wo trust that the year 1870
will see their numbers doubled.’ It will
continue to be a thorough news] aper. All
the general news of the day will be found
in it, condensed when unimportant, at full
length when of moment: aud always, we
trust, treated in a clear, interesting aid in
structive manner.
It is our aim to make the Weekly Sun
the best family newspaper in the w orld, and
we shall continue to give in its columns a
large amount of miscellaneous reading, such
as stories, tales, poems, scientific intelli
gence, and agricultural information, for
which we are not able to make room is our
daily edition. The agricultural department
especially is one of its prominent features.
The fashions are also regularly reported in
its columns; and so are the markets ts ev
ery kind.
The Weekly Sun. eight pages with fifty
six broad columns is only $1.20 a year, pos

the cost of the paper, no discount can be
made from this rate to clubs, agents, Post
