OkUahtT’s independent. SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1874. 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 of *• Att*nl at Ml*** at re Mnfidi-nly Mhot 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.
