favorite sitting in,on window of the golden
haired beauty, Birdie Berthoiil.
And a very womanly, cli-nmini eirl
was Birdie, a- she stood lean'ny over the
balcony, shading her eye... wit-h ii r jew
eled hands. Presently hearing me sharp
canter of a horse, she passed qn ~ y out
thioiigh the hall into the roo ~ ie: uv,
where an old man lay sleeping, then .he
ran around the piazza, reaching the front
List in time to meet a young emu who was
-aim ering up the broad avenue.
"Windsnmu Birdie,” he whispered, as
she extended her hand in welcome, "you
are not angry with me? L love You so,
this is my excuse.” L
"Grandfather is quietly sleep*, we
will not disturb him. I will to
! my quiet m al;, where you can enjoy a
i view of our beautiful Rhine, ” she u:plied
’ leading the way to a quaint litt'e summer
: house overlooking the river
1 The young man seated himself besi le
her, and with an earnest face with some
j thing more than beauty in his dark, gray
I eyes, looked tenderly at his comp uiun.
“May I venture to speak to Mr. Ben
hold to-day? If l felt sure that, you low i
me, I should be equal to anything. 0;i,
I love you, Birdie. Just say once that
you love me,” said the young man, pas
sionately, craving for that heart food for
which the soul hungers.
"Yes, yes. 1 do,” she replied in low
tones. then she laughed at the idea, and
the sound was as soft and musical us the
trill of a bird’s song.
"Then to-morrow I may call upon your
grandfather? Pray heaven he may grant
i me my heart’s desire —but I am poor
| not rich in this world’s goods, remember
I that, with nothing to boast of buta stain
j less name."
"Philip, perhaps lie will not say nay,
: but. I fear that ho has already planned"
! my future,” she said, sadly.
An hour or more passed, yet they
lingered, detained by the ciatuoui and
1 witchery of youthful love; at last takings
her hand limi .* point goKI oirule.
upon her finger, her lftver .-aid, gayly:
"This looks beside its wealthy neigh
bors; if your courage fails, look upon it,
and think of one who, whatever may
come, will win you jvt Farewell. Bir
die," and soon the echo of his horse’s
hoofs was heard among the hills.
The girl sank back upon the rustic seat
and with an outburst of feeling, passion
ately cried out:
"Oh, my heart’s love —l w ill be true
for what i- ail this pride and grandeur
worth if 1 lose thee?”
Grandfather Benhold was a German,
with a genealogy belonging to an aristo
cratic race. lie came to America Un
political reasons,’ bringing (he etistoni'
and prejudices of his native laud, and
this fair haired daughter of an only son,
the last scion but one of a proud family.
From early girlhood it bad been instilled
into her mind (hat she was destined to
vv-ci a husband of the old man’s choosing
inherit his vast, wealth, ami maintain the
glories of the Bcrtholds.
But what training, diplomacy or fore
sight can regulate a youthful beauty’s
heart?
At Newport -Ire not Philip Olay ton.
Handsome Philip Clayton.might have
had his pick and choice among a numi. T
of beautiful women, rich in mind, p.rsoti
and purse; but he did not know it, if he
had, ’twould have been all the same, for
he, too, lost his heart at the very first
sight of Birdie-
When the heiress of the Bertholds en
tered the house, she went at once to her
grandfather’s room.
“My child.” said the old man, as she
lovingly kissed his e!>e>'k, and knelt be
side him, “I fear that 1 shall not long re
main with you.”
“Ob do not say that, grandfather,”
she exclaimed, clasping and caressing ,us
withered hands, with sudden remorse at
having deceived her best friend.
“Birdie, 1 . ce you love mo, and I know
’tis not a difficult task to please those
whom we love; now listen. I expect
your cousin, Ernest Berthold, to-morrow.
It is my wish—nay, my command, that
you two should be united, and together
uphold our noble name, after my death.
I have also sent for Madam liheinliaidi,
my trusted friend, for it is necessary that
you should have agreeable company, as
well as consult propriety.
"Birdie, remember! if you marry Er
nest, my will constitutes you joint heir of
milfoils; failing to do so, you are loft
wit!, but, a small legacy. Now, dear
child, don your most becoming robes and
fascinate Ernest.”
"But I have never seen him, grand
father; he is an entire stranger to oie—
besides he may not fancy me.”
“Tut, tut, child; I'll engage lie wii!—
now little Birdie; go chirrup curly to bed
aid rise with bright eye—the sliip has
arrived —our galiant lu"er is in the city,
and will soon be up here in the High
lands.”
But there was no warbling or trifling
that night—Birdie was unusually silent.
Sure enough, the morning brought
Madam Rheinhaldt but no Ernest, as yet
—what a respite—the least sound startled
the girl—she must, see Philip, so she wan
dered down into the doll, out of sight, of
the house, to intercept him, ami thus
I spare him the humiliation of a refusal.
Sitting hidden in (lie shrubbery where
! -lie could command u view of the road,
| after a little time she saw a boy looking
cautiously around Divining with love's
intuition that ho had a message for her,
she walked slowly toward him.
"Be you Miss Berthold, marm?” said
the hoy, taking off his cap instinctively,
■ -debt of her lovely face.
; ” fhat is my name," she replied.
! "Please, inarm, let me look at your
Lands.
She smiled and extended a plump white
; band, graced by sparkling jewels and a
, lain golden circlet.
i “All rig it, here it is, marm,” said he,
banding her u letter.

The sma I boy, on his way back, per
onuud more antics and shouted out more
"hi hi’s" than a ei y Arab, jingling the
silver coin in his pocket, frantically ejacu
lating:
“Bully gal that. I knowod she’d come
down handsome ! but oh my eye I wasn't
she green m show thorn ere diamonds."
~Poar Birdie, my own love," the letter
ran, l am so anxious, for it is rumored
that the man whom your grandfather
favors is already on bis wiy to win my
darli e. By m irrying him you will g .in
a princely rV.un, together with Mr.
Barthold's Lessing. Do you love me
well eiic'igo f i forego all this, well enough
to share me hum >lo lot. Meet mo at the ;
old irystiog-pl.iee before this cousin ar- :

\ t st. ti"i ii of hope and love trickled
ii no hei violet eyes, and fell upon the
paper. Her first love letter. "Philip
who loves me so dearly, or Ernest wit h
bis golden mine. Which shall it. be?”
was the uppermost thought in her min i
during the day.
Toward evßiiing, Madam llheinlial.lt
knocked at Birdie’s door.
"Miss Berthe) I, Mr. Berthold wishes
you to hasten your toilet, as Mr. Ernest
Berthold is momentarily expeced.

,‘*olll oh, Imw l hate this disagreeable,

SI iwly and unwillingly she descended
the stairs, after repeated su unions, ac
companied by Madam Rhcinhahlt, her
heart beating rapidly, as hor grandfather,
meeting her in the ball, extended his arm
with courtly gall.autry and said:

"Fearing that my beautiful cousin,
would be sure to hate a man forced upon

lowing: "Air. John Sikes, of Clarke
county, lias housed and sold 2200 bushel*
of Shockley apples, grown in his orchard
and made a large quantity of eider, and
lost about 3,000 bushels lor lack of suffi
cient help to gather them. The apples
i be sold, leaving the cider out of the count,
amounted to fourteen or fifteen hundred
dollars. Suppose the three thousand
bushel, had been converted into apple
butter, cider and vinegar, his income from
his orchard alone would have been three

An inarming -currence happened at a
Wesleyan (,'lmpel at Ditton, in linglund,
one Sunday recently, which shows the
dangei of allowing a heating apparatus to
get out of order. Shortly after the com
mencement of the service several of the
congregation, mostly youths and children,
were observed to close their eyes and then
lull trout their seats in a state of insensi
bility. As one worshipper after another
'lso;.pod down W'tlt a heavy thud, it was
evident that faintness, not. sleep, had over
powered them, and serious alarm was felt
Py the congregation, which was increased
by the depressing utmo phere that seemed
to fill the building. The .sufferers wore,
however, removed to the open air, and an
effort was made to continue the .service.
This endeavor was not successfully, for
the preacher had not proceeded far with
his sermon when In, 100, fell fainting in
the pulpit. The service was brought to
an abrupt termination, and the congrcga
stfffrn hurried from the place. it was
found, on examination, that the heating
apparatus hud become disarranged; the
line was choked up, noxious gases were
generated, and tiie wonder is that the
congregation were not ail poisoned in
their pews.
