In the midst of « pleasant con versation with his hostess, Harold Arleigh abruptly paused, a sudden flash on his fine face, a strange, startled look in his handsome dark eyes. What he had been about to say r.o one ever knew ; of Ins uncon sciousness he was not conscious un til he saw Mrs. Goldshy’s glance of politely-surprised inquiry. “Pardon me,” he said, turning toward her with a winning and apologetic smile; “I saw a lady among your guests just now so like a dear friend I knew and lost long ago, that the resemblance quite ex cited me.” “Ah, you mean the voung lady in white silk and opal ornaments, with curly yellew hair and cheeks like peach blossoms. She is very beautiful —there is none like her. She is Ermengarde Burroughs, a dear friend, who is staying with me for a few weeks. Shall I intro duce you?” returned the lady. “If yon wish —if you will he so kind as to honor me,” faltered the young man, visibly embarrassd. His hostess gave him one keen hut eovert look. “Ermengarde has made another conquest,’’she thought. “If I dared I should warn him—l should tell him that this fair woman, with her alluring, smilipg eyes, her sweet voice end exquisite grace, has no heart to be won.” “Five minutes later her two friends were whirling through a waltz together and she wondered somewhat why Harold had grown so pale, and utby Ermeugrade seemed-so hauty and cold. “One would thin a they were lovers who had quarrelled,” was her mental criticism. She was not wrong, for years he fore those two had loved each other dearly. They had been betrothed, and the marriage day fixed, when the trial came that parted them. Harold Arleigh suddenly found himself fatherless ar.d ulterley pen niless ; hut idleness and luxury had not spoiled his high and noble spirit. He could cheerfully accept years of toil and study and strug gling, hut he felt that he could not happily and conscientiously w<-d his wealthy Ermeugrade until he might regain his worldly equality with her. “The world says unpleasant things of poor men who marry rich women,” he hud told her. “Why should we care for what the world has said ,or may say ” the girl returned impatiently, “Ail I have belongs to you. Harold, dear. Do not leave me.” Even in that trying moment, with her dear hands clinging upon his arm, her pleading eyes upon him, he never wavered. “I must, my darling,” he had answered her firmly, though his heart, was heavy with regret and pain. "And remember though I leave you free I shall remain loyal to you in heart and soul as the on ly woman l can ever make my wife. 1 am not selfish enough to ask you to wait for me a few years, my Ermengarde.” What the girl replied she could j never distinctly remember, but she | knew her words were crueilv re j proachtul, for she was mail with the agony of losing him even for a few brief years. And he left her with a look o his white beloved face she would never forget until her dying day. She felt that he had wronged her generous affection, insulted her womanly pride and left her with j pitiless indifference to be scqrned I and mocked as a bride deserted by her bridegroom. She had heard I of sweethearts who had waited for | lovers who had never come ; of wo j men who had wasted the best years j of their lives upon lovers that were I false; and her whole soul cried out | in utter, unforgiving anger against j him. Neither pardon nor trust J would she give him. And yet she accepted that freedom he had given her with a sort of defi mt misery which all Women feel when she i loves of a love that neither time nor anguish nor humiliation nor in human cruelty even can ever Us- j ’gen, I And that niglitat Mrs. Goldsliy’s soiree they hud met nouin met ni ter long years as strangers. And during those years Harold Arleigh had won that for which he had toiled so faithfully. He had won an honorable position among the most honorable of men ; he waa esteemed ns one of the most bril liant members of the legal fraterni ty, and by travel and study he had acquired that elegance and dignity of manner that command the hom age of society. If Harold Arleigh chose to wed an heiress, the world could not say he married lor mon ey and social distinction, nor wotdd lie feel that he would barter the no ble independence of l.is manhood by such a union. But for Rim the wide world held but one woman, sweet and dear, and she, it seemed, was no longer attainable. “Is this the Ermengarde I have loved all uiv life I.e asked him self as he gazed upon her fair, pis sionless, face ; "the Ermengarde in whose affections and faithfulness I trusted despite her unreasonable auger against me.” And he sighed heavily as he led her to a seat after the waltz was ov er. “I did not think to meet you here,” be faltered, as the gay groups swept by, leaving them alone. "W“ meet many people unexpec tedly, Mr. Arleigh,” she answered in a cold serene voice. Her cold tranquility almost mad dened him. The years that had past seemed to him but the dreary dream of an hour, and theirsorrow ful parting but of yesterday. He bent over her until his hot breath burned herch"ek. “Ermengarde,” he whispered in hoarse and agitated tones, “are you so changed ? Have you quite for gotten, or do you really ignore what we were once to each other? I have been faithful. I have made myself worthy to a.-k you to he my wife. Give me one word, Ermengarde— one word to send me from you again, or to. keep me by your side for the remainder of our lives. IL r stony calmness was all gone now. She trembled perceptibly, I and rose up before him pale as j death. Her lips moved with a little gasp but what she meant to say slip did not utter, for at that moment a gen tleman came to her side, and with a word of apology claimed her for the next dance. And just then his hostess touch ed bis arm with her fan. “My husband is asking for you, Mr Arleigh,” she said adding light ly, “did you not find my Ermen garde charming ? Siie is a lovely creature. Just the least bit of a coquette, perhaps. I believe she is engaged to the gentleman who is dancing the German with tier.” Ilaro! i Arleigh despised gossip and regarded all rumors as unreli-1 able, but in his present mood of suspens - the words of his hostess grieved him as the most bitter pto ven truth could do. Ermengarde had pledged herself to another, and this was the end • f his dreams and hopes All that j was left for him to do was to brave ly hear his disappointment. But how could he meet her day after day and look upon her fair, dear face, listen to her vweet. beloved voice and not betray the pain of bis cruel loss ? Many things pursued Harold during the week that followed. ()i --ten he found her regirdiug i.im I with a singularly thoughtful. Half I resentful look in tnr earnest blue eyes. Once coming into tbe un | lighted parlor at twilight, he saw her sitting befi re the piano, her golden head bowed low. bei lovely form shaking with silent sobs. And once when they were quite alone she spoke kindly and gentl of the evening they met. “You asked me a question that night,” she said, with quiet digni ty and a delicate reluctance ol man ner ; “it was scarcely my lault that it was nut answered then.” “I know what you would have : said, Miss Burroughs,”,he returned, gravely ; "I am sorrv for I have ; startled and offended you. I was i wrong and inconsiderate, and I can | only acknowledge tny fault and ask : 1 pardon for it.” I She regarded fur him W one in- Nthnt with shy wonder, and then turned away haughtily, her fair face scarlet, and an unniiatßhable ex | prersion of acorn and resentment in her blue, beautiful eyes. “I fear I am hopeless'}' Stlpid,” resumed Arleigh, in pained perplex ed tones, “1 ani pure I displeased you again, hut 1 cannot conjecture t how. O, Ermengarde, will you nev |er understand that 1 would not : willingly give one moment of dis quiet ?’’ “I <lo not profess to understand you at all,” she answered, as she left him. “filio denies me even her friend ship,” he thought sorrowfully. A long time after she had gn.e he sto d hy the window, gazing out into the night—a black, dreary night, with the rain drifting over the roofs in sheets and the wild wind roaring up from the river. “Jost the evening for a chat be fore a comfortable fire,” observed Mrs. Goldsbv, coming in, and after ringing for lights, drawing the heavy curtains with a little shiver, “I thought Ermengarde was with von Harold you are not going? Mr. Goldshy wished to show you those curious things sent him to day. The dear fellow has a p.as sion for odd aod antique relics, and Ilia study is quite an interest ing museum, I assure you ; Alan, do tiring Mira Burroughs,” cor.clud evl,the vivacious little lady. Presently Ermengarde came —a slim, elini‘ielpgant figure, dressed simply in black silk, with a cluster of white roses on her bosom. ‘■Here is something you would like Miss Burroughs," observed Mr. Goldshy taking from bis box of relies a curious necklace of gold with a pendant of exquisite pearls. “Il l could only know the his tory of all these tilings,” tntirmered the girl as she glanced over them —tinv grotesque bronze statuette, a few coins centuries old, a cup of silvjr fantastically carved, and among th“m a small toy pistol with a jeweled stock. “This, at least, is not very ancient,” she pursued, taking up the diminutive weap on. * “Be careful, dear; it may not he harmless,” remarked her hos tess. The wise injunction came too lato. Ermsngrade turned it about scrutinizing!}’, there was a sharp click and a report. The dangerous toy dropped at Iter feel and she flung op her shivering hands with a little cry of fright and pain. “Oh, what have you done?” cried Harold, us he saw the red blood trickling over her soft neck and staining the white roses on her bosom. “It is nothing,” gasped the girl and then tottered hack upon the ►of*, pale and unconscious. "0. my love, my love, moaned Harold, "I Dad almost rather see you lying before me dead than to know that you will live to he the wife of another,” It would seem that she heard his voice and understood bis words even in her unconsciousness, for she suddenly opened her eyes and smiled like a little child awaken ing from a dream. "Wlmt arc vou saying. Harold ?” site asked, faintly, regarding h rn with a wondering look. "That it is agony to give you tis to another, darling,” lie rejoined slowiy. Her pain and tright were all gone now. She rose before him proudly, her pale cheeks growing rosy. "Harold,” she sahi gxiivelv t .!klf 1 am not your wife 1 shall netver be the wife of another. Yon have wronged my love and fidelity if you have ever thought differently.” The spell of the sweet old love dream was upon them. There was no need of explanation, fur heart spoke to heart and understood each other; all anger was forgiven and all mistakes forgotten. “I suppose only for my stupid accident weshould never have been reooniled,” smiled Ermengarde, by and hy; “and I should have been angry with you all my life as I had been for years.” “Those years of our lost h „ppi. tiessihave not been-ijved in vain.” he answered seriously. Our love is triedVtod true, and your husband will be your honor and supporter, instead of a pensioner on your bounty." Lovely happy Etnengsrdo was inclined to contest the practical part of the lover’s argument, but thinking es his great manly love so “tried and so true” she, with true womanly sentiment, began to believe in his wisdom. “After all,” she confessed to Mrs. Goldshy, T think I should despise a husband who mould he what my dear Harold would have been if I, in my silly fondness, could have made him so. I loved him then, now [ adore and honor him.” "And we shall send you that en chanted pistol for a bridal present,” Mrs. Goldshy assured tier laughingly. Whisky and Tobacco. lion. Jttdson C. Clements, the democratic nominee fur Congresp, delivered an address in the Rome city hall several days ago, which in the main we most heartily ap prove. It was conservative through out, and contained some sugges tions which if properly carriedffor ward will greatly benefit, not. only the people of the Seventh Congres sional district, hut also of the en tire Union. He declared among other things that ho was opposed to sectional and partisan agitation in Congress; he favored the im mediate rrpeal of high taxes on liquol and tobacco, the abolition •it an useless swarm of Federal of ffNials, and more particularly those collect the unjust whisky and tobacco IA from our people. In the late issue of the Atlanta Constitution we find the following : “The revenue forces teaming early yesterday morning that sever al wagons had ‘sniffed danger in the breeze’ from hearing of the capture of one near Grant’s build ing loaded with whisky, sent out a strong detachment of revenue offi cials in quest of the game. Some three miles from the city, on the Mason and Turner’s ferry road, in the woods there were three wagons with accompanying teams, heavily loaded with the contraband. The drivers were not to he found. The wagons, with their contents, were driven to the city and the whisky secured. The seizure of Friday night and yesterday foots up some GOO gallons. The wagons we learn were from Pickens county.” Now, these men were doubtles hard working and industrious farm ers, who earned theii bread hy the sweat of their brow, and simply be cause they were attempting to sella little whisky, or if it had b< en a lit tle tobacco, they were forced by the appearance of revenue officers to abandon their teams and take ref uge in flight rather than undergo s long confinement in jail and per haps in the penitentiary. Was ev er the stamp 'ax inflicted hy Geo. the 111 more odious, and were the reasons more forcible tha* caused the thirteen colonies to dissolve their allegiance to the mother coun try and to declare themselves f/ee arid independent? It was for a sim ilar reason that Warren shed his blood upon the greenfield* of Bun ker Ilill, and that caused our fore fathers to undergo . ight years oi war and rivntinns, and yet to day thousands of Federal officers swarin over the country and demand trib ute because our people attempt to sell the fruits of their own toil. And/fotwithxtanding this, no mem ber in Congress will offer a hill to redress their grievances, in order that the yeas and nays may he put upon record, aod that our people may have a guide to know what to do and whom to vote for to repre sent them in the National council. If, therefore, Mr Clements should he elected and should offer a hill to do away with this odious tax, we shall have put the yeas and nays before the people in order that tiiey may know who are their friends and who are not.

After the Style of tke Persian. Once upon a time a Wolf observ ed a Lamb feeding out of sight of the shepherd in charge and it deter mined to have a dinner of mutton. While skulking along towards its victim the Wolf fell over a cliff and was badly injured. The 3hepherd heard its yells of pain and came running up to dispatch the animal with a club. “Hold on ! Hold on ! I want lo argue this case!” cried the Wolf. “Hut you are a philosopher and 1 am only a Shepherd,” was the re ply. When the Wolf was able to walk he demanded a lamb as compen sation for his bodily suffering and loss of time. The Shepherd de murred, hut the Wolf quoted and old law bv which any person har boring a wolf should he fined and imprisoned, and he declared he would go before the nearest official and make complaint. This brought the Shepherd to time, and the Wolf had Lamb for dinner. To get rid of him the Peasant reduced hie fair to black bread and water, but the Wolf ate what was given him and explained: “I shall not gain strength and be able to leave you until I have bet ter food.” The Peasant then changed his fare to the best, and the Wo.’/* ate his full and observed : “As long as yoi: can cflbrd such fare you caanot grumble at my slaying.” I*i a few days he demanded a full grown Sheep to soften the pangs of parting, and when the Shepherd an plained the Wolf cried out: “Why 1 am working for your in terest, not mine. The less Sheep you have to mind the less care you will have.” This sophistry silenced the Shep herd, and the sheep was killed. While eating it the Wolf got a bone in his throat and called out for help, adding: ‘ It will be much easier for you to remove this bone than to dig a hole and bury me.” “By falsehood you gained my sympathy,” replied the peasant — “by philosophy you got into ray house ; by logic you eat a lamb ; by subtlety you heat me out of a sheeps by Providence you have a hone in your throat, and now by thunder youmuat help yourself, for I won't!”' moral: Don’t feel yourself antitied to a washtub because somebody gi r es you a clothes-pin.— Detroit Free Press. “Is this my train?” asked a trav eier at the Grand Central depot of a lounger. ‘'l don’t know,” was the reply. “I see the name of some railroad company on the side and expect it belongs to them.
