Why should I, sweetheart, call to mind
The happy moments of the past,

Those joys which' were too great to

Why should I von my troubled'way
With saddened thoughts sweetheart

IVi'l midnight longing hast’ the day?
Oi paj'ching earth bring down the

Ami though like prison bird I heat
Against the bars that hedge mein,

If meeting, Still we meet in sin.

The way which fate lmlii marked for

Must, think the latter waters sweet,
Must soon forget myself and thee!

BY MISS AMELIA TIXOTPB.
Mabel Vaughn watt the daughter
of a plain, respectable farmer resid
ing in the (he State of Pennsylva
nia. He was a hard working, hon
est man but a poor manager, al
ways in arrears with his payments
and at the time I now write much
in debt. The old, two story farm
house, with its white walls, rustic
porch and green blinds, stood upon
an eminence, with a lawn in front
sloping down upon the winding
public rood. On the left was a gar
den enclosed with white washed
palings, and an orchard to the right
The latter sloped back to the mead
ow lands, through which a broad
stream flowed, with banks Bordered
with willow and alder; a large but
ton wood tree shaded the back
yard with its wile spreadirn
branches, whilst in the spring and
summer time festoons of woodbine
and roses clustered over the rustic
porch in front. From ilia latter
was seen a broad expanse of rolling
country dotted here and there with
groves of trees. On the rigiit by
llu roadside, a little distance off,
stood a two-story frame country inn
whose gayly painted sign bond
swung lazily in the air; the white
spires of the far-off village were seen
in the distance. The scene was of
a well cultivated country landscape
which, in its peaceful solitude, was
tempting to the wurnuut, fashiona
ble people of heated, dusty citio.--,
and in the summer many thronged
the rural neighborhood.
Slabel was the eldest of nine chil
dren, and at the time I introduce
her, in her nineteenth year. She
was tall, fair, handsome, with a
slight, symmetrical figure, clear
complexion, large, deep blue eyes,
fringed with deep black lashes, well
shaped nose, and a mouth tempt
ing as a rose bud; her waving mass
es of gulden hair crowned her well
shaped head like a halo. She was a
beautiful, refined, superior creature
entirely out of keeping with her
rude surrounding. The country
lads were quite in tuve of the he iti
tiful girl, whom they called col!
hearted and proud. This was be
cause they did not understand her
refined, superior nature. She was
not entirely satisfied with her lot,
and was often oppressed with a
strange longing for something bet
ter than she had known. She was
fond of books, and eagerly grasped
any chanco reading matter which
came in her way. It was the calm
of a lovely Sabbath as she sat upon
the grass, leaning against an old tip
pic tree, with tx book in her hand;
her snowy dress floating around
her tike a cloud, whilst a largo
straw hat was keeping her eyes i
shade. The tree was laden wiia rlo- 1 -
soms, whilst the hum of the bees
filled the air as they were laying
in their winter supply of honey.
The air was full of fragrance, and
Mabel, with a half listless admira
tion, viewed the scene, which was
fair enough to kindle the eye of an
artist.
Philip Adair was the sou of a
neighboring farmer. He and Ma
in:! had been brought up together,
their families b' iag fast friends. II i
xv;. i a tall, handsome, d«)L-com
pluxiuned young man of three ur,d
twenty summers. His father was a
mao of different character from Mr
Vaughn—indu.-.trioua and mana
ging, with his line iurm out nf debt
and tt little as ho said laid up for a
“rainy day.” Philip, his eldest son
was tho pride of his parents and
the admiral) .in ofhis neighborhood
on account ofhis noble nature, and
mental superiority. He worked
hard on tho farm, and all his spare
time was devoted to study. He
had loved Mabel passionately from
childhood, and she in return gave
him her undivided heart.
Philip’s ambition was to go to
the city of P and study for a
lawyer and locate there, making his
way .up to prominence if possible.
Ho had for some time been endeav
oring to induce his father to nd
vanee a sufficient amount for this
schc-tpe, out of what in future would
come to him out of tlm estate. Mr
Adair was at first reluctant not
knowing how ho could manage
without him; but washing to do jus
tice to his noble son, and being yet
in his prime, with two active young,
er boys, ho finally consented saying
to his wife:
“We xviil not oppose the boy
Mary, for there is tho making of a
great man in him, and we will
never let him reflect upon us for
retarding his progress.”
“Don’t he proud, father,” replied
Ihe tond little mother, “if Philip
continues to he as good as he is nov.’
we will have sufficient cause to be
grateful.”
“’Veil, well, little woman, his fa
ther will expect to see him become
great, and continue good; tho two
make a beautiful combination. ”
As Mabel sat listlessly contem
plating the scene, Philip Adair ap
proached unnoticed, through the
meadow,a: d stood looking with in
tense love and admiration upon
her lovely sac. As he did so, his
shadow ominously crossed hors
upon the grass.
“1 will aflk her again,” he men
tally exclaimed, “to renew her en
gagement, lest some city man
sii old c.i me along while lain away
and rob me of my tv-m u:'' .”
As these thoughts crossed his
rabid, without vpciiKing, he threw
himself upon the «•. >v« rat lor ft. t.
She started, whilst a flood ol'orim
son colored her face, and looked
shyly toward lnr eager handsome
suitor, exclaiming;
“Is that you P/til? I have been ex
peeling you.”
He was silent; he had come
with a story to tel!. Mabel guess
ed it before be had said :x word.
“Something has happened,” she
said, gazing into his pale, sad face.
“Do not conceal it from me.”
“Do not he frightened, Mabel; fa
ttier and mother have at hist given
iriy cosent to my going to the city
of P to study for a lawyer,
that is all,” he said forcing a ner
vmn laugh. “I shall he gone two
or thro years, perhaps, and xviil
leave much sooner than I expect'd
—to-morrow, in fact. You will
give me a solemn promise to wait
for me, my darling? I will write
often, and come home one or twice
u year to see vmi, and when I fin
ish, wo v. iii marry and settle down
in the beautiful city of I’
and I hope will have :x long and
happy life together. You will wail
for me? he repeated, looking earn
estly into her face.
“I-will wait until I die, Philip,”
she replied.
“God b essyou my darling,” lie
said, kissing her now pale cheeks,
which i.-s.in became crimson dyed.
“You shall not regret it.”
As twilight began to deepen into
night Philip an sa, and. giving Ma
bel his arm they walked along (he
| wiuding river. Tho night birds
J sung softly and the stars began to,
: glimmer one by one in their azure
j setting. Their words were few, hut :
the heart ol each was filled with '
love for the other. At last they
j parted in silence on the banks ot [
! the lonely river. Her ehoiks ivere
! wet with tears that were beyond
: her control. Little th Might they
of the posible severing of a faith,
the h!ighdng of a love that had j
grown,v/itli their growth, until it |
had now ripened into perfection.
The uncertain f. ure is wisely)
concealed from us; nly our pres
ent duties are plain.
Piiilip went to the oily, and Ma :
; bel devoted herself with tier usual j
patience to her horn » duties. She
heard frequently from Philip, and
xvas oontente I and happy.
During the summer the the old
inn was as usual tilled with city
boarders, amongst whom was one
Mr. Percy Claire who was making
quite ix sensation in tho neighbor
hood. He xvas a widower of about
forty-live. For the last threeyears
he had been traveling abroad. On
his return before settling down to
city life, he had concluded to rusti
cate in this quiet neighborhood for
rest for himself and a good time for
his two little eons. He was a well
educated, superior mat:, of large
uieai sand prominent position. His
elegant appearance ami huuty man
ners won for him the nxve and ad
miration of the people of the place
and the farmers’ daughters wore
anxious by their charms to induce
him to marry and settle in their
neighborhood. Mabel had heard
much of Mr. Claire hut had not
felt the least interest in him. One
evening as she was returning from
; the village, whither she had keen
making a fmv purchase*, she met
elegant looking gentleman leading
by the hand a little hoy. From
the description she had heard she
at mice recognized him us Mr.
Claire. She felt embarrassed by
the gaze of evident admiration lie
fixed upon her face. The next
evening she heard a knock on the
■ front hall door, nnd.on opening it
found, to her astonishment, the gen
• tinman there. He bowed low to
| ! her, introducing himself as Mr.
i Ci ire, apologizing for the call, sav
ing in vindication ‘that, “he had
been informed that Mr. Vaughn
had an idea of selling his place, and
took the libi rty to call and see if
there was any truth in the report,
as he was so much pleased with
this part of the country that lie had
eonel .'ded to purchase a farm where
lie and the hoys could ruralize dur
ing the summer.”
Mabel blushed deeply at too re
marks of the stranger, and inform
'd him that “she was very sorry to
Ik: forced to acknowledge that the
! reports were correct.”
The truth was. Mr. Vaughn, who
; .vu,- always in pecuniary embarrass
i merits, had lately lost heavily, and
as Mr. Adair, (who xvas his friend
in need)at last had become out of
patience 'vilh him, as there xvas no
way of raising the large amount
due. Mr. and Mrs, Vaughn were ah i
sent, trying to pursuttde Mr. Adair
to assist them out of their difficul
ties but this time he xvas inexora
ble.
Mr. Claire was delighted at the
opportunity of awaiting their re
turn.
“You would regret, Miss Vaughn,”
lie said to leave tin- old place ?”
“Yes, sir; it is our home. Wo
children have nil been born here
and we have the most pleasant and
tender associations connected with
the dear old place. T shall be very
unhappy if xve ure forced to leave
! it.”
I “You may not he forced to go.
i Often, when we are on the verne of
! ‘anno painful misfortune, a kind
Providence interposes, and xve ure
extricated from our painful posi
tion.”
“Those are romantic events,” re
pli : I Mahok “We rr 1 of th on in
novels, but they seldom occur in
real life.
‘Reality, Miss Vaughn,'is stranger
than fiction, and allow me to pre
dict that something xviil occur to )
prevent your leaving the old place,’ |
‘That, sir, would bo making un
all too happy.’
On the return nf her parents,
Mabel quickly withdrew. Mr.
; Vaughn xvas delighted with his dis
tinguished guest, who promised to i
call the next day and look over ;
the farm, lie came not only then
‘ hut on many succeeding days, untii
Mabel began to think it was herself
| not Jhe farm, in which he was most
interested. This caused her alarm,
and sue tried to avoid the agsidious j
stranger. She had often rejoiced j
in her beauty for Philip’ sake. She I
now turned from her mirror with
j pain, regarding it as her greatest
| mi .-'fortune.
Mr. Claire would not see her in- j
difference, but kept persistently vis j
i iting the old farm, and overxvhel-1
j ming her with costly presents. At j
j last he frightened her with an offerj
xvhicli she postivelv dcc'ined. He
expected this and went to her pa
rents, telling them that he loved
their daughter, andjif she could he
induced to wed him, he,xvould pay
off the entire indebtedness of the
farm, and assist them out of nil
embarrassments farjtho future.
Mr. and Mrs. Vaughn were at
this time very indignant at their
neighbor for notfasMsting them,
and considered Mr. Claire’s propo
sition as quite a Messing.
it will be all right, sir, I am sure
replied the delighted father. Ma
bel is a noble girl, tilie xviil love
you as you-di serve, and; in turn you
xviil find her as good ns she is fair.
After his dedarture they explain
ed their, embarrassed situation to
tier, and bogged that she would ex
cept Mr. Claire’s brilliant offer.
lean not.! Mabel cried with a
wail of despair. Tt would kill me.
You Know that I love Philip, and
1 have made him the most sacred
promise. What would lie think of
me? Oh. I should nn.ko him so
wretched and be so myself.
Mr. and Mrs. Vaughn could not
understand her folly in refusing
so grand an opportunity, regarding
it as a whim which would he ful
loxved by a life time regret.. In urg
ing it upon her they thought they
were not only advancing their in
terest, but her own.
Mr. Claire saw the greatness of
the sacrifice, hut iie acccepted it.
Ho fulfilled his promise to her pa
rents, and went further, sending at
bis own expense her tivo eldest
brothers to college. He remained
at. the inn the entire winter, lest he
might bj’ some unfortunate acci
dent, lose his treasure. Mabel was
.submissive. Her brilliant mar
ring: engagement ivas tho envy of
tlie entire nergbborhood. And
when the farmers’ d nighlers saw
her '’living out with Mr. Claire in
magnificent style, they sighed with
envy little dreaming how often her
smile hid an aeliit g heart.
The following spring when all
nature wps light end smiling, when
tho apple trees were again in Bloom
Mabel xvas sitting alone in one of
the front room windows. In a fexv
days she was to he married. She
sat listlessly looking over Hie wide
spreading landscape, thinking of
her ruined happiness.
Suddenly she was startled, for
Philip Adair stood out u on the
porch before her. His looks were
stranglely altered-—so pale and
stern. Mallei, in an agony of dis
pair, looked up, and for a moment
they gazed fixedly into each other’s
pale faces.
At last Mabel exclaimed :
‘Philip, why aro you coino? You
know I have given you up ”
‘Mabel, I have come to hear from
your own lips that which none
could force me to believe. ‘Mine
until death Philip,’said lie bitterly.
‘I thank mv God that I am rid of
one so unworthy i Whil t I wnsla*
boring for this, you were plotting
to wound roe in the crulest way;
you little know Mabel Vaughn,the
mischief yo have done! Farewell,
and may a just God deal with you
es you have dealt with me !’
lie turned qu'ckly, leaped from
the porch, hastened through tlie
front yard,mounte,l his horse and
xvas soon galloping along the higli
xvay.
Mabel was bewildered at first.
Arousing herself, she followed as far
as the wicket gate in in time to see
him disappearing in tlie dim dis
tance. Sue held out her arms to
ward him, exclaiming, ‘Philip I’
xvilh a bitter cry of pain. Then she
returned, and, seating liprself upon
the stops of llie porch, buried her
face in her hands, xviilist her whole
(raine shook with her agitated feel
ings. Thus they parted, they xvho
had vowed to go through life to
gether.
* * * *
Mabel’s joyless wedding xvas over.
She left with Mr. Claire to presi le
over his elegant establishment in
the city of P . He xvas a
cold, selfish man of tho world.:
There xvas no congeniality between !
them, and Mabel, though submis-!
give, found her life a blank. As I
time rolled on, tho gulf widened ;
and widened between them, be re
garding her with jealous suspicion,
knowing she had married him
NO. 21).

■ self injured i:• marrying ono in her
I position, nnd not having it appro
“ eluted. lln was liberal toward her
family, and Mabel felt kindly
! toward him when she saw them
prosperous and happy.
Philip Adair, neverrightlv under
■ standing the matter, accused her of
duplicity and love of display.
Twice in after years he saw her.
Once she passed him in her elegant
carriage; their eyes tnet; neither
spoke, both considering themselves
injured. Philip was surprised to
R’R the eclipse that had dimmed
the radiant heanty; never had ho.
s on a human face So pale. "She has
reaped what she lias sown,”«aid he,
bitterly, though his heart was full
of pitv. The lips may utter severe
reproaches while the heart is filled
with love.
When he saw her again she was
in her coffin, and was beautiful
even there. When she felt her end
approaching, she said:
"It may he a foolish request,,

f The lumas Eagle.
I Some three months ago, while
' hunting in the mountains east of
1 the Twelve-mile House, Mr. Bus
-1 flngton captured a young Ameri
can eagle. At tlie time the bird
was quite small and from appear
ance but a few weeks old. Mr.
Baflinctnn has his pet confined in
the yard hack of his shop, and the
many and curious monkey shines
indulged iu by the mountain bird
are really amusing Measuring some
eight feet fioui tip to tip and weigh
ing forty pounds, with talons three
inches in length, there is hut small
chance for any does residing in the
neighborhood. For as a canine
makes his appearance, the eagle
spreads his heavy wings, and with
a loud screem lie lights upon the
back of his terror stricken dog. The
scene that follows is one of great
interest. The dog, without further
notice, darts through the side gate
and out into the street, with the
eagle attached to his back, and that
too in a maner to stay. Down the
street be goes at break-neck speed.
At a distance of about 2 blocks the
eagle bids the dog an affectionate
adieu and quietly returns, as
though nothing had happened
The same experiment is gone thro’
with whenever tile dog can he pro
cured. It does not seem necessary
to remark that dogs of any descrip
tion arc seldom seen in that part of
the town, and the same dog never
more than once. It would be a
blessing to our city if we had one
such bird on each block. It would
save our pound-master much un
necessary trouble. —San Jose Msr

Mule trading.
“What lias been your experience
in mule trading?” asked a Tribure
reporter yesterday, of old uncle
“Mac,” the well known colored dray
man.
“My sperience in dis life has
taught me flat, de man who swaps
mules wid his eyes shut am sartiu
to git de worst of it. Budderly
feeling goes a long way, in case of
sickness, want or deth, but it sel
dorne reaches down to a mule
trade. If I war buying a. mule of
a man I had honored all my life. I
should begin at de hoo'fa, at d look
j dat animile all over clar up to ’do
pint of bis nose. I shouldn’t
; spel: him to tell me dat he bad til
! od down any teeth, or puttied over
! any hoof cracks. My advice is not
| to lie or deceive in trading mules,
but to answer as few question as
you kin, and to seem kinder care
less we.lder you trade or not.—
