Charles Pemberton was once in a
very great perplexity, arising from be
ing apparently in love with two young
ladies at the same time. By nature lie
was conservative. He bad never been
able to swallow without a twinee the
tenets of any political party; nor was he
altogether convinced of the truth of any
of the warring creeds. His imagina
tion would he pleasantly impressed with
■ home-like Episcopalian rites, and his
intellect unflinchingly scaled the loftiest
heights of Unitarian daring. Though
this may Stamp one as the worst kind
of a radical in the opinion of some, up-
blinded people will see iu it a steady
conservatism. This tendency to be
just to both sides made him a conserva
tive in love as iu other things. Which
one of tlic young ladies lie regarded
the more highly he had prompted his
interest and criticized his heart to find
ut.
Ethel McHenry was one of the wealth
iest girls in the city of New York; and,
if disposed, could point with pride to a
long line of worthy ancestors. With
ine exception she never spoke of any of
hem. The person who thus distinct
ively claimed her loVe and allegiance
was a poet, represented in bis picture
as possessed of dreafhy, wayward eyes
and curling hair. He had wiitteu
merely as a gentleman who wouid cui
off his right hand rathe r than make auy
effort with it to have his verses publish
ed, His songs hal weaved quaint fan-
ties around a few firesides and had
died away iuto silence; so 'hat now
the waste rooms of memory might migh :
ho searched in vaiiv for their faintest
tracing iu the dust or the lightest echo
of their music.
Iu appearance Miss McHenry was ii
brunette, mid rather tall. This, of
course, cun he no adequate description
of lie.r You may see a thousand tall
brunettes in a single day. To atteiupi
a detailed description ot her iv to re
duce her to a figure in mutiicuia its. A
gleaming sword was not brighter; the
lark’s [iroinl song was not more joyous;
a spiric itself was not fuller of life than
she. She was wu'at might be called a
pointed talker an 1 was apparently
sound ut heart. S'ill there were, m ,
meats when tile In-art of a Grecian s’.u.
He seemed lodged in her breast. Self
possession, one of her grand trails, par
took of heroism, for she was as sensi
tive to unkiuduess as an aspen is to the
wind.. That she was an enthusiast it is
hardly necessary to say. Her features,
cviiicized separately, showed no par ic-
ularly great beaty, but her eyes were
twin charms, u dream-in whose myste
rious depths you Saw perfect dances,
heard the sweet cadence of the feet and
music, and were transported to .scented
fields aud meadows. l'ou have seen
perhaps a picture that was drawn for
the general effect. Single, clear dash
es were wanting, but the blending of
suggestive diiu lines produces a picture
that haunts you continually. Ethel
McHenry’might be said to be like one
of these drawings, ami when speaking
there was the same unity iu her de
meanor. The soft voice, enforced by
the play of the eyes nud the expressive
countenance, became quaintly elo
quent.
Of course a flock of lovers trailed af
ter hor most of the time; some influenc
ed by love as others were by mercena
ry feelings. Here might be seen a
young attorney, easy, languid, irrepres
sible, with a. nose which was a tip-lifted
protest against the ennui of existing
things. Paired with him was another
man of law, void ot fees and cases, but
Hot of hope and imagination, a person
whose expressive, countenance showed
that he was born hungry. There was
also a wealthy physician, who was a
blood-letter, and consequently, unen
durable to female eyes; and, again, a
poor devil of the same calling who
could not have boaideil anywhere but
in a dissecting room without being a
breathing lie, There was a young pro
fessor wlio had strong orthodox notions
on the continental method of pronounc
ing latin, and paraded his views with
*11 the excitement of a Deddler spread
ing out his wares before you. An in
experienced clergyman had a few mel
ancholy flickering aspirations. In
strong outward contrast to Inm was a
military chieftain who had shown fine
talent in running away from the Indi
ans out West, but who was n more val-:
iant warrior than George Washington
or Napoleon in certain situations, as
wheu he was talking or thele was
absence of danger.
most, for she would frequently appeal
to him in support of some idea of hers
on the disiinctive ground that he was
the man of sense in the noble band of
lovers. It was when surrounded by
persons such as these that he could not
like her. A quiet chat with her reveal
ed different hues of character, showed
many fancy-tipped thoughts, almost
trembling into poetry aud the crude
beginnings of noble purposes. Only
put an aim in her, he thought, and she
would make a uoble woman. If these
asinine lovers could be weeded out of
her acquaintance a great Step would be
taken. But how to do it puzzled him.
If he were to undertake, even broach
the task, she would think him fighting
under the cloak of a mercenary, and
•voulc probably credit him with jeal
ousy and all sorts of diabolical purpo
ses. Fitful would be his gleams of love
for her as long as her toleration of such
persons continued. Confidence under
such circumstances was purely out of
the question.
It was about this time when lie was
veering hither aud thither by this or
that resolution that he met Jesse Mere
dith, who took his attention temporari
ly from its object. She impressed you
as a person of innate delicacy. Talk
ing with her was as cooling aud re
freshing as ice-cream. Everything she
said seemed freighted with keen obser
vation aud experience. Each sentence
was cold nud clear as a November, day,
meant so much, no more., aud was a
neat gem of good sense. Her appear -
auce ah'] her clia’racier wore of a piece,
her complexion being li -c parian mar
ble, her form trim, lie.r touch dainty,
and her dress a good fit. She was sel
dom ruffled at anything, though she
was a school teacher, and had facilities
fog being bored to which other people:,
are. strangers.
As Pemberton was somewhat of a
literary maniac, she always started lit
erary subjeat vith him. Her opinions
on books were models of good sense
nud keau criticism. For some time be
enjoyed her society, and began to fan
cy lie had found the desirable perfect
being; but there was a defect souk *
v.hme, wuicli his superstition made in
superable. Sometimes sue seemed self
ish, even u pessimist, but how beauti
fully she spoke of friendship! Again
she was filled with it deadly ambition
that would‘yield yield love to nt> m.in.
So that after some mouths of associa
ion he found all his ideas and resolves
sea-tossed.
During this time he had greatly nog
ectod Miss McHenry, and he thought
with eagerness of the pleasant, auima-
red times lie had spent with her. Cue
evening, when lie felt particularly! dis
satisfied with Miss Meredith’s calm
beariug, he resolved to make some
amends for his neglect. It was with
more elatiou than lie had felt for some
time that lie stood before" the noble
Fifth Avenue mansion and rang the
bell, Being ushered at. her request iu
to the parlor, he fouud her iu the com
I any of one of the Suitors. As she
came gracefully to meet him, she was
almost angelic iu beauty; weird she
seemed as a iuv of the firelight, and
so t and gracious as only a woman can
be. Pemberton "as on wings. • He
would sit and talk the suitor out of
countenance, aud out of the parlcr;
for he rather prided himself "upon never
being at a loss iu conversation. But
he miscalculated the length of till
suitor’s ears, which were of such unu
sual aud truly asiuiue dimensions that
nothing could abash him. He was as
securely protected against the shafts of
wit as Hector was against the darts of
war. Pemberton put his useless weap
ons bock iuto his quiver, and sat in
gloomy silence. To add to his rage,
the lady paid the kindest attention to
the suitor’s most trivial observations.—
He soon found them discussing the
plays and operas iu a style that nearly
drove him frantic. He did not deem it
possible for her to make such conven
tional remarks about subjects which
she could talk of with originality. Fi
nally he could stand it uo longer, so he
got-up, examined in a rough way lhe
pictures on the walls, winch he had
seen probably a buudred times, and
with an inward curse and an outward
smile announced that he was going.—
She was clearly sorry at that; her coun
tenance suddenly fell, Mil the gay
hingli stopped as an unfinished harmo-
Filled with these pleasant impres
sions, he had almost determined to
stake his happiness on her decision.—
He did not, however, intend to make
any expression of his feelings until he
had thoroughly criticized them at home,

iiat.oio on the future of' trade, says:
“Though the year now drav.ing lo a

men, very fc - v of whom have been able
to add anything to ihier.capital, there
is, altogether, a more hopeful feeling
regarding llie future of trade ihaul for

belief that the shrinkage iu prices is at

There is a probability that the

The New York World has been glea
ning facts in regard to the charges of
bulldozing and intimidation of voters in
Massachusetts at the late election. A

says: “We have in Massachusetts a

way of illustration, the following story
of a strict old Presbyterian; who em-
Perhaps the most lawless of all thei
Afghan tribes is the frontier tribe, the j
Waziris, who are born warrior* and]
splendid horsemen. It was these men |
who lately lined the sides and summits
of the mountain in the Kliyber Pass for
the purpose of preventing the passage of
onr friendly mission and its escort.—
The head men of the Waziris are, it ap
pears, now periodically summoned to
Cabal, whence they return bearing
handsome presents from the Ameer.
The members of the tribe are, however,
an astute set of fellows; and it is not at
all improbable that they may eventual
ly desert Shere All in spite of his pres
ents, in order to accept regular ray
from the Indian Government. For
though essentially fighting men, the
Waziris are fond of money, and are not
only dreaded by their neighbors for
their ferocious bravery, but are likewise
envied for their wealth. They posses a
a mans breed of horses, which they
have managed very oleverey to keep to
themselves. These horses are distin-
guishedj.by a peculiar curve and twist
of the ear, aud are remarkable for their
wiry, hardy frame and high temper.
The tradition is that the Waziris stole
the royal progenitors of their studs
from the stabios of the Persian Nadir
Shah when he invad India; but the
Waziris themselves assert that the con
queror bestowed the precious animals
upon their ancestors as a mark of his
admiration of their brilliant horseman
ship. They never shoe their steeds,
but ride them bare hoofed, and even at
times-lsare backed up and down the dan
gerous mountain passes, and if they
were verifubele centaurs; and s.c highly
do they prize tlicir exclusive possession
of the breed that they will never sell a

Would oil my gun or bait my hook,
And field for hours at cricket.

I liked her rather less than “Gyp-”
And far less than my pony.

Small wonder had che hated;
For scores of dolls she’s had to cry,

TUITION:
I’m twenty-five, she’s twenty now;
Dark-eyed, pink-cheeked, and bonny,
The curls are golden ronnd her brow;
She smiles and calls me “Johnny.,-
Of yore I used her Christian name.
But now through fate or m» lice,
When she is by my lips can’t frame,
Five letters to make “Alice. ’,

Stand silent now before her;
Dumb through the very wish to please,
A speechless, shy'adorer.
Or, if she turns to me to speak,
I’m dazzled byhergracss;
The hot blood rushes to my cheek,

She likes me. and I love her now.
