"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. THOMSON. GA. JANUARY 5.1876.

High landers have tiie habit, when talking English, of interjecting the personal pro noun “he” Whore not required, such as “The king ho has come,” instead of “The king has come.” In consequence a sentence is rendered holier, )is, os the sequel will show. The Bev Mr, Evans cdmmeirtied his -sernefon sirs jt.My friends, you will find the subject of this discourse in the sth chapter and Htb verse of Peter, in these words: “The devil he goeth abrut like a roaring l o i, seeking whom he may devour.” Now, my friends, we will divide the subject into four heads.

When the old lady went for meal to make the “hoe cuke” for the frugal repast, she dis covered the eat and interviewed her sou. He suid: “I did it, mother, with ray little hatchet; hut I’ll be swizzled if I can tell the whole truth about this affair. ’ Now most mothers would have kisse,. that brave, truthful lad on his nobis brow, and kept ou using the meal out of thut barrel just the same; hut this one didn’t.

It cost $41,000,000 last year to support our army and yet it killed only thirty nine Indians —more than a million a piece for dead Indians.
