The last dying cadences of a delicious
dreamy naltz, across whose wierd notes
the soul of Beethoven had poured out its
magic sadness, were floating over the
crowd that filled the ball room of the fash
ionable Washington hotel; there was the
stir and murmur of separating couples,
and the ill suppressed yawn of werry
“wall flowers,” that followed in the wtke
of every brilliant waltz. Kate Elwyn
stood in the recess of the window, playing
carelessly with the faded jessamines and
tuberoses of her boquet, while her blue,
lovely eyes wandered from one place to
another, evidently in the quest of some
familiar countenance, which they could
not discover.
There were few more beautiful faces
than her own, even in that festive crowd,
where half of the belles of of the Union
had brought their diamonds and blight
eyes to dazzle the grave politicians and
law makers of the land. Rather beneath
the medium size, with the fragile delicacy
of a fairy, her complexion had the trans
parent waxen bloom that you look for on
ly in children, while her heavy bands of
golden bair lay over ber somewhat low
forebead, in tippling waves of amber.
Very dark blue eyes, translucent as a sap-
pbiie of the first water, and a little crim
son mouth carved like cupid’s bow, gave
additional piquancy to ber lace, and alto
gethershe was as perfect a specimen ol
the radiant blonde as one secs out of a
picture gallery or a novel.
Suddenly ber checks blossomed into ro
ses, ber whole countenance brightened as
a tall and rather elegant looking gentle
man languidly sauntered towards her.
“Charley, I thought surely you never
were coming !”
“I’ve only been down to the supper
room fora few moments my dear; I’m sor
ry you have missed me. Any thing I can
do for you just now /”
“Yes—do get my fan and shawl and
we’ll go up stairs. It’s after on® o’clock,
and I’m completely tired out.”
“Couldn’t my dear, “said Mr. Elwyn,
breaking a moss rose from bis wife’s bo-
qnet, and fastening it jauntily into bis
coat, “J’m engaged lor l hree waltzes and
a quadrille. Miss Raymond would never
forgive me, 1 am afraid, for deseiting
ber.”
Kate’s lips curled haughtily and a
deeper shade of crimson stole into her
cheek.
“Jealous, eh ?” laughed ber husband,
patting her blight bair lightly. “Now
Kate, that’s a little too silly in you.
Don’t you know that at a place like this
a rnan is expected to make himself gen-
eially agreeable to the ladies ? Pray, my
dear, don’t become so absurd and ridicu
lous as to—”
“And so,” interrupted Mrs. Elwyn.
bitterly, “yotrr wife’s wishes and conve
niences are secondary to Miss Raymond’s
will.”
“The green eyed monster lias certainly
invaded your peace my love!” said Mr.
Elwy-n. “Upon my word, I Lave always
given you credit for a little more common
sense.”
“What shall I do /” she murmured to
herself, deluging her handkerchief with
rose water and trying vainly to gooI her
hurtling eyes; “what ought I to do? Ob,
I wish I had never come away from home;
tirely to please the public, the gay
world you know. And I-put on this

come to but one conclusion.’
‘Charles,’ said Kate, smiling archly
up into his face, does it grieve you to

‘It breaks my heart, Kate,’ he said
passionately.

The loving kisses she showered up
on his brow dispelled every lurking
shadow from the husband’s heart,'and
he felt how inexpressibly dear his wife
was to him-
In the next day’s train Mr. and Mrs.
Elwyn left Washington, mutually
convinced that they had had enough
of the gay capital. There were tWo
unmistakable good effects consequent
on their sojourn however. Kate was
satisfied to remain quietly at home for
the rest of her life, and Charles was
completely cured ol every latent tend

And Aurora Raymond sprang light

gloved hand resting lightly on Mr.
Elwyn’s arm, the other holding up the
folds ol her violet mantle. He touch

the hotel steps, all smiles and dim

“Ke"xt week, perhaps, my love—or tlic
week after, if you positively insist upon
it.”
“Oh. Charles, why not go
me
ing for a ride,’ sighevi Aurora Raymond,
looking up from a volume of poems, as
Mr. Elwyn re-entered the drawing
room, looking not unlike a man who
ha djust had a molar extracted.
But he didn’t take the hint, acting
as Miss Raymond afterward indignant
ly remarked, more like a bear than a
man, and sat down to the perusal of
the newspapers. Alas, for the mid
night curls and oriental eyes—their
spell was broken.

prayers.—The account of the whipping
to death of a child three years old by
its father, a clergyman, because it
would not eay its prayers, near Medi
na, published yesterday, awakened
the greatest indignation of our citizens
against the inhuman father. The re
port was hardly credited, so unnatural
and monstrous was the crime commit
ted. We blush to say it, but the most
sickening and dreadful part of unpar-
ralled horror was not published.
Lindsley’s (that is the monster’s
name,) statement before the coroner’s
jury, given yesterday, was corrobora
ted by other witnesses before thejury.
The body of the child told, more
plainly and pathetically than words
could, of the terrible punishment it
had undergone. Several of its fingers
were brokeD, and the blood oozed from
every pore. To conceal the crime, the
father tied the little one's hands behind its
back and placed it in its cofin. While
physicians were making a post mor
tem examination of the body, he sat
by, coolly looking at the proceedings.
After a while he spoke, and asked
them if they had not “carried this
thing about far enough.” The physi
cians discovered no disease about the
child’; it died solely from excessive
and cruel punishment. The little one
would have been three years old next
August—whipped to death because it
would not say its prayers.
We arc told that Lindsley justifies
his horrid work. He thinks it was
his duty to punish the child until his
will was broken and be obeyed. Linds-
ley was arrested yesterday and com
mitted to jail in Albion. It was with
the utmost difficulty that the officers
who had him in charge could keep the
citizens of Medina and neighborhood
from lynching the murderer on the
spot. Lindsley is a man about five
feet eight inches in height, well pro
portioned, has black whiskers, and
dark complexion. He has the appear
ance of a man of violent temper.
The murder is the all absorbing top
ic of Orleans county.
