MARCH 15. 1877. j / Birdie’s Lover. i Hermann Bert hold'* fine mansion over -li. kine the Hudson, was as g"inl md stalely a a palace. Ii was mar .litiitly fir nishe 1 with curiously curved antique furniture, and its wall* wore hung wrh the port rail "I ill aristocratic Barthold* of past eenerttioiis. In Hi distance lay 'll” village, with its one white spire tipne 1 with sun bine, ou lined by a h ue line of Iniis. On a fine summer’s lay it was a scone 'd’p'etnre q i ■> beamy the. breezes liis pereit a 1 the birds gossiped among the j branches of the venerable oak trees--me , majestic ‘•lord of the woods” shade i li> 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. it wa“ from Plii'ip 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- : rives, and e,infirm with your own sweet lips, the precious promise you gave mo yi sterday Birdie, ny best treasure, you >, line exacting is.’ \ 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. Birdie beeam ■ pale Imw unfortunate Hastily .-lie wrote the following: "Dea l Philip, I am watched, ami ill -rc fure cannot meet .you to niglu but oom foit. yourself with these true words—l ioye you Philip with my whole heart, and itiu, loving you am content to iierome your wife.

"Fearing that my beautiful cousin, would be sure to hate a man forced upon her as a husband, and also desiring to know if she posse-.sod a loyal heart or a mercenary one, l entertained the idea of winning her by my merits alone, outside of ail adventitious circumstances.

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. The Memphis hedger states that a gen tleman from Perry county, Alabama, brought to lhaiollioo a little buy, named \\ line Uiilman, the child of colored parents, whose physical make-up would baffle even a Darwin. lie is an ethnolo gical and phy.-ioiogical curiosity, and when brought to the attention of scientific men, will doubtless excite a grCal deal of in terest.
