THE* COUNTER’S REVENGE.
BY B. T. IIATMOKD.
* ... _
"Did you advertise for hands 7"
Tim speaker won tv sod faced, delicate
girl in mjttivli of employment, mid tliiH
question wan addreaad to the presiding ge
nma in the office of one of the largo fac
torii: i where women are employed.
"Got ail we want,” answered the naan
thus addressed.
The girl turned slowly away, too sick at
heart to notice the hold and admiring gaze
of one of the group of gentlemen, seated
around the stove. Hhe reached the struct
and walked on as one in a horrible dream
—cold, tired, an<l dizzy, and fairly crushed
with despair. All that day ajui many pro
ceding lied she been exposed to the piti
less oold in her worn shoes and thin gar
ments, traveling through the streets in
fruitless searches for work.
“£ am one too many in the world,” site
thought. "Why should 1 livo,” and vis
ions of the river and of troubles, with a
half formed resolution to thus end them
wore begiaing to float through her mind
when a gentleman whoso step she had
been too preoccupied to hoar, stopped be-j
side her.
“Pardon me, Miss,” ho said, in n polite
hut off-hand manner. "I bi liove
yon just left the office of Ogden and Sons,”
Hhe gave a quick startled look at the
intruder, and at sight of the handsome
gentleman beside her. She nervously
scanned her poor • worn clothes, and
blushed scarlet at her mean appearance.
“Yes,” she answered with a sad dignity.
"I have just left the office. Have you any
business with me ?"
"O, I'm one of the firm youngest son,
yon know; I was in the office when you
applied just now, and 1 egmn after you to
say I can get you in the factory if you
wish."
"Wish it 1 Certainly, sir. You do not
know what a favor yon arc doing mo.”
She turned her glowing face to him in
glint and eager surprise, hut before she
could find words to thunk him, her over
strained nerves gave way, uud she burst
into a flood of tears.
The gentleman, who had been looking
into her eyes as if he would fairly absorb
the'jr sweet css, felt < i rain ly awk
ward at this and walked on in silunoo b
side her until she could control herself suf
flcimitly to speak. The girl, as an apology
for her tears, gave him an account of her
sncoossiou of disappointments, and, by
dint of sympathy and kind questioning,
he won from her her whole sad history,
with a confession of the resolution she
had almost formed to'destroy herself, and
how his coming dispelled it,.
"I hope, then, the life I have saved may
at some time belong to me,” lie said, tak
ing her Imml gazing so ardently into her
face, that she blushed crimson. "I think
1 will know how to value it.”
The next day he saw Kate Wesley in
stalled Ah one of the. hands in Ogden's
factory, through the ngi nev of William
Ogden, the junior member of the firm,
and youngest son of its head. Kate re
parded with the warmest friendship and
gratitude this man who had lifted her out
of the fearful slough of despond in which
she was sinking, and ere long she returned
the love which lie avowed for her. Every
evening fouud him a guest at the noisy
tenement-house Where Kate boarded with
Mrs. Flint), who took in washing. He
was ro devoted in his love for her, so lav
ish in his gifts to her, and so desirious of
doing everything to contribute to her hap
piness that, she grow to look up to him
with almost worship. He had come into
hor daik life like a prinoo in a fairy tale,
turning everything to brightness, and
taking her heart a willing captive at once.
Ho a nature like hers love was life, and the
object of it became almost her God. Hhe
obeyed and believed in him implicitly, and
gave herself up to him body and soul; lis
tening iu blissful trust to his promise of
marriage as soon as he could, with safety
to his pecuniary interests,incur hi*father's
displeasure by doing so.
He took her from the factory to Mrs.
Finn's and placed her iu luxurious rooms
oflierowu made heaven to her by his
presence—where she lived his wife all but,
in name.
During his absence she devoted her time
to study, and made astonishing progress.
“lie shall not have cause to blush at my
iguomnee when I am his wife,” she
thong.
Tin' was t-lie state of tilings when Kate
one (lav. went to take her oustonmry lemon
in music. Bhe arrived at her destination
rut u r early, and the professor being en
gage 1 with other pupils, she was shown in
to too waiting room.
The building in which the professor’s
ro inis were was divided into offices of va
rious kinds, and only a thin hoard-parti
tion separated the room in which Kate was
shown from one of said offices. She was
no sooner seated than she recognized
the voice of tier lover in conversation
with another gentleman in the office ; and
as she was seated close to the partition, ev
ery word of their conversation reached tier.
‘'Toil see, Will,” said the strange voice,
“that comas of a fellow running wild over
every pretty face he sees. You seem to
have a faculty for getting into scrapes of
this kind.”
"Bat,” ni<t her lover, “this is a devil of
n scrap. She expects me tomurry her.”
"Why, have you promised her?”
"Haiti,. yes, I hud to; but, of course, I
never meant it. I'm brought up with n
short turn now. My resources arc all ex
hausted, and the time is drawing near
when iam to fulfill my p o aises. I've put
it off so ften, you sec, that I can't :cc mv
way out of it this time. Come, old folio v.
use your ingenuity and help me out of it.”
"Is she pretty ?” asked the stranger.
"I rather think she is. I'd like to see
you find one prettier.”
"Could she puss for a lady, in manner
or education ?”
“Yes ; she has been studying hard to im
prove herself, iu expectation of our marri
age, and has suooeeded as well as one could
wish. ”
“Why the deuce don't you marry la r,
then ?”
The answer to this was along, loud whis
tle of astonishment.
“You m ist lie a madman. Marry a shop
girl ? Ambition is a family failure of ours,
and you aelf-possess the failure to an un
usual degree. Your suggestion is madness,
mad dear fellow—-think of something else.”
“Well, then, hang it man, leave the
city, and write her a farewell letter.”
“Agreed.”
Kate wanted to hear no more hut rush
ed wildly into the street. Having reached
home she hardly knew how she crushed
the wild paroxism that she was laboring
under and wrote a letter to tile and, -troyer
of her happiness tolling him how she had
discovered his perfidy.
“This shall not degrade me,” she said.
“By God's help I will live down my dis
grace and win for myself a position at least
respectable. And by his help also I will
be avenged. ”
Seven years had elapsed since William
Ogden had Kite Wwby. He hud re
eeived her letter, and felt relieved that tbo
affitfr ended with so little trouble to him.
Of K,tc's sufferings, ho would not allow
himself to think, and her memory was soon
buried, with many others’ loves of the past.
During these seven years ho hail become a
thoroughly blase man of the world. llin
friends doubted his capacity for u real
pure, honorable love, and lie agreed with
them. That sort of thing was too hum
drum and prosy for him, be said. And so
opposed was he to matrimony, that he wng
ered half of his fortune that lie would nev
er enter into it
Just about this time Miss Kingford, a
beautiful English heiress, made her ap
pearance in society, turning all the male
heads, old and young. Her beauty of
form and face, and her fascinating powers
of conversation were peerless. William
threw himself ut her feet at once, and, to
the astonishment of all, became the most
ardent suitor for her hand ; and, as people
said, thoroughly in earnest for the first
time ih*his life. Among Miss Kingbird's
suitors also wau the gentleman to whom
William had Staked the hajf of his fortune
in the event of his marriage. Ho enraged
was this man at her preference for Wil
liam, that he swore to hold him to his wag
er. Undaunted by this, William eagerly
pressed his suit, and was accepted.
It was anew kind of happiness to Wil
| liam, and one that he once thought never
existed, to feel that being bound to this
woman for life would be heaven.
It wan arranged that Miss Kingford
should sail for iluropo immediately, and
William should follow by the next steamer;
almost immediately on his arrival they were
to be married.
William followed his betrothed to a love
ly little town in the North of France,
where, she informed him, the friend resid
ed at whose house the wedding was to toko
place.
On arriving at his hotel ho found letters
av ailing him, directing him to come at
once to the chateau of the Count Da Chan
try. Eager to clasp his bride in his arms,
he hastened thither. He was Ushered into
a spacious salon, tbo magnificence of which
astonished even him, accustomed ns he
was to luxury. In a moment the object of
j hi* visit entered, dressed in a regal style of
splendor, a glittering cornet adorning her
stately head.
William started forward to greet her as
she swept into the room, hut she haughti
ly motioned him back.
"We will make our interview a brief
ono.” she said, “as my husband awaits
me.”
William gazed at her, us if doubting
her sanity.
“Your husbandjl” ho exclaimed hoarsly,
the veins in hit forehead standing out like
cords. “Whoare von then V"
“The Countess Do Ch.iutry,” sho said,
bowing profoundly. “Seven years ago J
was Kata Wesley, the poor shop girl
whom you scorned. I told you by God's
help i would bo avenged, and you seo 1
spoke truly."
He rushed from her presence without
waiting to hear her story, how, when she
had separated from him, she had taken a
place as nursery-governess, mid how mi old
lady of tlm family being taken ill, she
tended her faithfully nutil her death, and
how, out of gratitude, she had made Kate
her heiress, and at last, while traveling
abroad, how she had met the count who
married her.
That evening the countess heard that an
Amjjtlenn gentleman, who had just arrived
at tho hotel, had shot himself from some
unknown cause. They found, from letters,
on his person, that his name was William
Ogden.
Curiosities of Superstition.
Louis Napoleon in his will emphasizes
the solemn declaration: “With regard to
my son, let him keep nn a talisman tile
seal 1 used to wear attnehad to.my watch.”
This piece of fotiehisiu would appear to
have formed yet. another link lietwei n the
imperial exile that Ims passed from our
midst, and those Latin races whose cause
he affected to represent, whose superstition
ho certainly shared. Indeed, the ancient
Homans degraded a priest because iiis
mitre fell, and unmade a dictator because
a rat squeaked. Oicsar crossed the Rubi
con because on the opposite bank lie sawn
man with a line figure. His nephew felt
confident of winning the battle of Aetium,
bccaußc lie met a peasant by the name of
Nicolaus mounted on an ass, Wolsey was
warned of his doom by a crozierhcad;
ISejumis by a flight of e.rotvs. Dr. Johnson
objected to going under a ladder. Mon
taigne avoided giving his left foot priority
in putting on iiis stockings. Alexander
was believed to have untied the Gordian
j knot with a slice of his sword. For good
; luck’s sake Augustus wore some portion of
i a sea calf, Charlemagne, some trinket of
j unknown value. Mohammed was all fate;
I Bonaparte all star and destiny. Cromwell
j believed in September A, and Louis Napo
j Icon in December 2. Sulla called himself
i Felix, the favored child of fortune, and
| Timoloon turned his house into a temple
;of chance. Alexander, if we may credit
1 the account given bv Quintus Curtiiui, was
i terrified by blood flowing from inside his
soldiers’ bread during the seige of Tyre
in 832 1:1. C. His seer, A ristunder, foresaw
in this crimson utility of the vital stream
out of the eommissarat a happy issue for
the .Macedonian; and the warriors thus
never took Tyre. From the year 1001,
the spectacle of the bleeding host and
bread as well as the bewitching bloody
milk, several times in each cei t try, guv •
simple folk a scare. Thus it. was noticed j
in 12(51, under Urban IV., at Rolsenn, not |
far from Civita Vcochin; and Raphael lms i
otken this for the subject of his pictme
called the “Mirnoulo do Bolsona,” which j
is at all events, n miracle of the pencil!, i
in KW3, when Heinrich Yon Billow de
stroyed the village and church at Wilsnaoh ;
drops of blood w ere found eight days after- I
ward on the host placed on the altar, lint
the victims of sup< rstition have the bump
of casualty largely developed, and in loll)
thirty-eight Jews were burnt because they
had tortured the consecrated host, till it
bled. Again, the sight was seen on the
Moselle in 18:54, and in 1848 the famous
Khrenberg finalized the terrible potent.
After stooping with Ins microscope over
the red strains on bread, cheese, and pota
toes, this savant declared that they are
caused by small monads or vibrois, which
have a red color, and are so minute that
from 40,t>0<5,000.00J to 881.0:14,000,000
d.short beings adorn the space of one
cubic inch. Ini fortunately, when, iu 1510
thirty-eight Israelites, as wo have seen,
were burnt to ashes, no scientific Ehren
berge existed to point out to their snpor-
Sti'.ious butchers what they called a proof
of the eonxoenrti and host being tortured until
it bled, was merely due to an aggregation
of hungry red insects.
It. is reported that some real estate spec
ulators have offered §2,000,000 for old St.
Baal's Church, oti lower Broadway, New
York, and that the offer has been refused.
The ohureli occupies an entire block of
the most valuable land in the city. The
squ ire is filled by the church, a cemetery
ami tie' business-rooms of Trinity Cor
poration. Anybody, rich or poor, who
needs clerical services for sickness or death,
bridal or burial, during winter or summer,
night or day, can find someone ready to
respond. The service is without money
and without price.
LOVE LW THE WEST.
Mesult of Thirty Second.’ Courting- A Fair

Dawn hy Cupid him! Hound
<)r to Hu p
House.
Two tender blades of grass with but a
single stalk, two parts timt beat as ono.
Time—last Sunday; when the mourning
heavens opened their flood-gate eye-lids,
and wept hogsheads of smoky tears,
from groggy morn till beery eve. Place
At a Haptist clergyman's in tho vicinity
of Dover, this county.
Cupid not only laughs at sand-bars and
blacksmiths, but is ever, the nude littlo
cuss, ready to wade neck-deep in slush
and juicy clay, “all for his own true
love.” In the particular ease to which
wo allude—(and there is no doubt permis
sible, as the incident istnie; the names of
the parties being omitted by us for reasons
apparent) tho little naked gizzard-per
forator led forth a pair of lovers, who had
long since resolved to make one out of
two and then multiply the unit at pleas
ure, and their attendants, a gallant young
gentleman and lady fair, all the way from
Brownsville, through a blinding storm to
the hav< n of a Baptist preacher and nni
fer, in the neighborhood of Dover. When
the principals nail safely eluded the vigi
-1 meo of irate parents, and were about to
enter into that mysterious relationship
which makes two lots of flesh and many
bones one lot of flesh and the same bone—
(and this is evidently the origin of “bone
of contention”) it was proposed that the
lady and gentleman who camo ns “attend
ants,” should do likewise. This was a
j novelty. A moment was taken for reflec
t on. The new lovers conferred. They
w. re puzzled; but they consented to leave
the problem to the wise solution of our
jolly young friend, Bob. Hyduor, who took
the grave matter under advisement, and
in a moment reported favorably, in this
elegant and effective littlo revival speech:
“Get married ? Yes, by all means. Here
yon are;—Got, ell your nice store-clothes
on; Hi re’s the preacher; Who’s to hiu
| dm* ? Do it once;—Now’s the hour of
; salvation; You may never get another
I chance. Do it, and do it now.” That
presentation of tho case was irresistible.
They did do it; and in thirty seconds, half
: a minute, moio or less, two pairs, instead
I of one. stood up before the altar and were
I spliced by authority of law and gospel;
bound, hand and foot; hitched, yoked,
j united; tied up forever, for weal or woe,
' belKr or worscr; mul the benediction, to
I the effect that, the Lord would have mercy
ion thi ir four souls, now dwindled into
j two, was spoken.
Anil this is the way we do up things
i out West. -Ex.
Be Natural.
Ono nf (ho fashionable follies of tho day
is the nfloatation of grout coolness, ft is
consider, and vulgar to ho demonstrative.
You moot an old friend ; it is a blessing to
vour eyes to behold him onoo more. Your
heart leaps up at sight of him your im
pulse is to group him warmly by the hand.
Yon fool almost like embracing him. You
must do nothing of the kind. No ripple
must bo permitted to rutile the smooth
equilibrium and indifference of your feel
in'-s. You must greet him politely, but
without emotion. So the false etiquette of
which wo speak teaches. Self-possession
ii a staon < quality, but wo do not believe
in this kind of self-possession. Ami peo
ple who school themselves in this are not
apt to have the other anil better kind.
They arc not apt to manifest self-possession
on such occasions as really call for it --oc
casions ~f difficulty ain T danger, and of
great trials. Touch their self-love, make
any unusual demand upon them for self
denial, and their assumed and superficial
self possession vanishes in an instant. For
ourselves, we like naturnlness of manner.
Seem as yon feel. Let the heart speak out,
or what is the use in having a heart ?
There arc crops which grow only on light
soils, and the school of philosophy—mis
called philosophy of which we* speak
must have originated in shallow bruins.
Roses a Luxury of the Ancients.
To enjoy the scents of roses at meals an
j abundance of rose leaves wore shaken on
the table,so that, the dishes were completely
surrounded, liy an artificial contrivance,
roses during tlie meals descended on the
guests from above. 'Clio Roman Emperor
Ifcliogubalus, ill liis folly, caused roses to
he showered down upon his guest in such
quantities that a number of them, being
unable to extricate themselves, were suf
focated in flowers, During meal-times
they reclined on cushions stuffed with
r ise leaves, or made a couch of leaves
themselves. The floor too, was strewn
with roses, and in this custom great luxury
was displayed. Cleopatra, at an enormous
expenses, procured roses for a feast which
she gave to Anthony, hud them laid two
cubits thick on the floor of the banquet
room, and then caused nets to be spread
over the turners, in order to render the
footing elastic. Heliogubalus caused not
only the banquet room, but also the colon
nades that led to it, to be covered with
roses interspersed with lilies, violets, hya
cinths and nnieissi, and walked about "on
the liowery platform.
A. Distressing Picture.
The following is an extract from n letter
by Hon. R. M. T. Hunter, addressed to
Senator Stevenson of Kentucky;
“When a whole social system has been
paralyzed in its lowest extremities, the
work of cure,is tedious and difficult. The
head and arms l'ft, luff, its means of mo
tion arc sadly impaired. If the South was
north to the Union all the money and
blood which it cost to retain it, then one
would have supposed that it. was an object
of interest to restore its efficiency, moral
and physical, and thus secure its value.
If it was deemed necessary to alter its so
cial system and the relations of its social
system and the relations of its elements,
it might have been expected that this dis
turbance would have satisfied those who
had the management of affairs.
If they could have derived any relief
from the ris malcatri.r iiahtnr, why not
allow them that resource V It would have
been a great relief to them if they had
been allowed to place their own govern
ments in the hands of the best and strong
est eh incuts of society, and not the weak-
est and worst. But the reverse seemed to
have been the end of the national policy,
which has fostered the rule of the negro
and tlie carpet-bagger until these States
are involved m an immense load of unnec
essary debt, corruptly created and sub
jected to a system of taxation so unjust and
onerous that one of the old thirteen
(South Carolina) has petitioned through
her tix-payors, probably a majority, to be
restor ti to the government of the sword
—that is, to the absolute power of the
U nited States —rather than endure any lon
ger the tyranny of the negro.”
There is a woman iu Norwalk, Conn.,
the wife of a seaman, making regular trips
between Now York and Liverpool, who
has not seen her husband for nineteen
years. Every time he ships from New
York he writes to her that lie will visit her
on his next arrival in that city but as often
as he arrives lie gets drunk, loses his money
and is shipped on board the packet again.
