Com panions from infancy, their lives had been gpent in competition for schol astic and teen other honors as the In veiny atibrded, without a momenta ry break in their friendship. But now, in early manhood, they strug gled for a prize of incalculable value, with an ardor that threatened a complete rupture of friendly Mil - lions. The heart and hand of Eliza Reed, the neighborhood belle, were to be won ; and to these none others might aspire in the face of ouch fur addable opposition as that of Mapes and Tim They alone--each by virtue of his tKvil personality and po sition—laid a right to lay siege to the heart of that variable, irritable, im perious beauty, and for months the strife between them had gone on.— Each one had called into play all his personal andsocial risJurces; for the local society had- taken such an in terest, that it was divided into two factions, known as the Mapesites and the Tiumisites. And yet Miss Eliza could not be brought to express n preference. If she rode with one te-day she was careful to walk with the rival to-morrow. Cuquetry is delicious to a woman ; and Eliza would not have been fem inine had she been in haste to have male the election. Nevertheless, she did not intend to miss her op portuuity. She knew VOL the war could not' always last, and feared that when one of the aspirants for her favor withdrew from the emit( st, the love of the other, wanting the stimulus of competition, would grow 'old; - Ileum she had made up her mind, that, upon the first favorable opportunity. she would signify to Mapes that. his suit, so often present ed, Was at last accepted.. The oppor tunity, it seemed, was not long want ing, for invitations were given out for an apple bee in the neighborhood and Eliza found means to convey an intimation to ))apes that she ex pected to meet him there, and count : - ed on his escort home at the conclu sion 1)1 the The appointed evening looked fur Nl Lit such nervous anticipation by Mapes, cane at 11Q felt that it was the meat important moment of his lite, and arrayed himself as only a rustic dandy can.

It 'Was so dark when he reached this primitive bridge that lie vas compelled to feel his way slowly across. As he progressed it commen ced to swing lightly—something very unusual—until lie reached the centre, when, to his uttter confusion, it gave way, and he was launched into the water. He scrambled out, then sud denly the night became luminous with the lurid light to which people refer when they say, in speaking of some profane wretch. "He swore until all was blue," Whatever illu ►ninating qualities this lurid light possessed, it had no drying ones, and Mapes was forted to hid adieu. for the night to all hopes of plighting his truth to his beloved Eliza. In the rural districts Down East, in early times, the good people had such habits ,of industry and rigid economy that they sehloin•frave or attended parties, unless such as were cloaked under the names of raisings, quiltings, huskiugs, or apple bees; thus, the apple bee, fraught with momentous consequences to Mapes and Timms, was but a social party in disguise—a few apples being pared, quartered, cored and strung in the early evening, merely fur appearance sake. . .

"What do you mean," asked "t)li I mean," replied_ Timms, "that Mapes is the prince of good fellows, and gets invitations where the rest of us don't. "Wliare is Mapes to-night," asked Eliza, taiw fully aroused. "1 don't know fur sure,'' answered Timms. "lie told me yesterday there were special reasons fur his coming here, but that he had an in vitation to the rich and aristocratic Squire Iluntoon's who is celebrating his daughter's birthday, and that he didn't know which way he would go ;" and Timms turned away to talk to the next prettiest girl in the room. Petted young women are seldom logical or patient. When the party broke up, Eliza accepted Timms' es cort to her home, and before they ar rived there, she had consented to be come, with the least possible delay, Mrs. Timms. The next morning the engagement was announced, and preparations for the wedding com menced. Timms wasex ultant —hap by Timms. For a few days Timms was not seen in public—perhaps for want of courage to wear his blushing honors openly; perhaps for want of courage to meet other contingencies—who knows? But a mail cannot make ar rangements for his Own wedding from it fixed standpoint, and he was compelled to venture out. In a quiet and secluded by-way he met Mapes. The meeting to him was a surprise, he smiled feebly and held out his hand. But Mapes, intent i 4 goal nem, strode squarely up to Timms and planted a vigorous blow on one of his eyes, which caused the gen tleman to measure his length in tile dust. Timms sprang to his feet and showed tight, but another blow on the other eye sent him again to the gram where he continued to lie. "G i et up," said Mapes, knock mu down again," said Timms.

In twenty years IMuiel Mapes had learned many things, and• among them this: Life is very much as We make it. In other words, the world is Biwa mirror, and looks -11 t us with the facet we present. It returns scowt• for scowl', and smile for smite. It echoes our sobs and our laughter. To tl e c std, it is as icy as the northern seas; to the loving it is as balmy as the isles of the tropics. Ile had learned a still harder lesson; which was to forget the griefs, the sorrows, the wrongs, and the hates of the past. The effect of this lesson MIS to make it appear that the Imes to him hadfal len in pleasant places. Ills rotund form and firm muscle bespoke a good digestion. while a cheerful counte nance total of mental peace. A fair woman (-ailed him husband, and chil dren called him father. A beautiful home in the Santa Clara Valley was theirs; besides which, Mapes had many broad acres of land, as well as many head of stock running nearly wild in the counties of Monterey and San Luis Obispo. - • ince in a year the cattle that graze on California's thousaad hills are gathered in bands at convenient pla ces to he claimed and branded by their owners—such assemblages are called rodeo. Mapes had been down across the Salinas Plains, in attend ance apart a rodeo; and being on his return, jogging along on his mustang he saw, far in the distance, but near ing him, an equally lone traveler. Slowly the distance between them decreased; and as they approached, Mapes—with California prudence— slipped his revolver upon the belt which - sustained it, from-his back round to his left side, bringing the hilt tauter the shadow of the bridle arm, and within easy ,reach of his right hand. A near look - Assured Mapes that he had no occasion for weapons: the coming man was of middle age, WI his 1011 k was worn, weary, dejected, and hopeless—in lo cal phrase, his manner was that of a person who has "lost his grip;" and those who have met that terrible mis fortune are never highway robbers "grip," being the very quality want ed in that hazardous pursuit. The travelers met, with a tong, in quiring gaze, when from their lips • simultaneously burst the words, "Mapes—Timms." After a moment of mute surprise, Mapes, spurring his mustang, drew nearer Timms. "So—we meet at last. I have been wanting to see you this many a year." The movement seemed ominous to Timms, and he cried out, "Don't— d on't shoot! I have no weapons.— Besides, I have kept my oath—at least, as well as I could.

You ought to have sworn her too. If you only knew how I have thought of you, and of my oath to you; and and how I have borne blows, and been quiet—how I have been called brute, foul, and kept silent—how have endured taunts-and sneers, and hunger and discomfort, without a word of reproach—you would for give me,' you wouldn't harbor thoughts of„reeenge." "Thoughts of revenge!" answered Mapes. "Let us dismount and have a settlement, for I see my chance has come at last." "Mapes, would you take the life of an unarmed man*."' "Titnms, yoti're crazy! Lat mees plain. I lave no wrongs to avenge. It isn't for vengeance that I wanted to see you.

Too many damaging facts have al ready been proved against General John F. Ilartranft to admit of any further question In the minds of ()nest, conscientious voters as to his' thess for the Gubernatorial chair of Pennsylvania. It has been estab lished by the testimony of Yerkes, corroborated by Hartranft's to own let ters, that he was a party corrupt and unlawful speculations with the State moneys. .Those speculations, too, in the , one'case of Yerkes, are known to have resulted in the losaof one hundred thousand -dollars of the public ftfnds, and though Treasurer Ma'ibkey..tiretends to have made the sum good, it was stated some time since by a Harrisburg correspondent of this papdr that he had merely de. posited in the Treasury a worthless check for that sum on a Pittsburgh bank which holds no such amount of money belonging to said Mackey?. It is established, also, that liar tranft joined with Mackey in urging a new loan for five Million dollars when there was a million and a q4arter in the Treasury, or suppos ed to be there, and no loans requir ing to be paid before 1877, except ing one small one, which could be easily taken up with the funds on hand.
