FOR THE COI.lTMIlIAX. "I.OTB AXI pitinc," OR WON AT THE LAST. 11 Y PEARL CLIFFORD. Walt Strathmore und his youn ger biotliur, lmd been frequent visitors at our lovely mansion in Elton, and somo ancient spirits nodded their heads sagely nnd hinted at "marriage," while young girls fairer than I, tossed their curls und wondered "what Walt and Gerard Strathmoro could see in that Ivy Viiyno to admiro; for sho had nei ther beauty nor style." And I, Ivy Vayno aforesaid, listened mid smiled, for I had learned tho sweet est lesson a girl can learn tho lesson of "love." For many weeks Gerard and Walt had established themselves in Ellon, principally nt our home, nnd ono dav in September, Walt camo alone, and in a quiet sort of way, confessed "ho loved mo." Tiiis sudden confession annoved and startled mo, I had boon so en grossed with gay Gerard, and as I lis tened to his passionato words and his quiet, almost stern manners, I did tho most foolish tiling a woman could do, mrst Into a ilood of hysterical weeping. Ho soothed mo In a tender, calm way, and spoko of his lovo being lowarded at last, and I entreated him to leave mound let mo think. Ho pressed my hand to his llpi and left me, to dream of his brother. Ge rard had paid mo no particular inten tion; liu had turned my music when I u as called to tiio piano, ho had held in v bouquet of lloivers, nnd entreated for "Just one," as many others bad done, but ho had novcr shown In any other way, that I was dearer than other girls to him. All this I recalled, and at lait remembered how assiduous Wait had been townrds mo, I had boon so long in lovo with Gerard, that Walt had on ly occupied a small niclio in my heart, as Gerard's brother, that and nothing more. Novcr wero two brothers moro unlike. Walt, tho elder by two years, was slight mid of medium height, with brown hair and browner eyes, hut with a stern severe look about tho finely chiseled mouth, that had produced a most unfa vorable Impression on mo. Gerard, on the contrary, was tall and dark, with laughing bluooycs and Jet black curling hair; tho Jetty lushes gavo a particularly fascinating expression to tho eyes, in deed his cntiro facu ; a llnely shaped nose, and exquisitely beautiful mouth, shaded by a dark inoustacho, comple ted us lino it picture as over won a mai den's first affections. But alas ! as I ro called Gerard's fair form nnd face, I smiled bitterly at myself how daro I, so plain and unprepossessing, asplro to tiio lovo oi so glorious n specimen of manly beauty and excellence Both brothers wero accomplished, but Gerald was best liked, In society his wit anil polished compliments wero courted by fair feminities, and many n lieurt beat tumultuously at his approacli. Why did I not respond to thu lovo of. fered to mo by Walt Strathmoro ? Ah, mo, tvlio can tell a woman's heart. I decided lu my own mind to wait a llttio longer, and then If Gerard did not proffer mo tho cup of Joy, I would uc ccpt his brother. It was weak, and wicked I know, to trlllo with another's happiness, but I know Walt loved me, and, must I con fess tho truth? I would bolmppylu having oven (ho brother's- lovo Gerard would glvo me, us tho wife of Walt Tlmo lllos by, nnd aernrdsearcoly no ticed me; In many Instancos lo openly FRIDAY, AP1UL 30, avoided me, and I reproached myself for giving my heart unsought, nnd after a while, prido camo to my aid, and I sang and danced nnd flirted to bring him to my side, but ho only avoided mo tho more, and when ono ovcnlng Walt again pressed his suit with moro ardor than ho had shown before, t placed my trembling hand In his, nnd told him I would bo his wife; then Joined tho group of dancers nnd I wns tho merriest among them; bo light' hearted dltl I appear Unit I even tie- reived myself Into tho belief that I Was happy. In a few days our engagement wns known and talked of by every onc,and mnny wondered that two such quiet people, (for I had never been gay und girlish until lately) should fancy each other. Just two weeks from tho day set apart for our marriage, Walt had a loiter from somo business llrm out West, and tho cull was such mi Impcriitlveouu Unit ho went,very reluctantly Itmustbo owned. "Ho wouldbu back innweek"liosald,as ho kissed mo good bye, and then ho placed my hand in that of his brother, nnd told Gerard to tako good caro of "his wlfo that was soon to be," nnd with nnother kiss hastily snatched, ho wns gone. Three days after ho left, aerard enmo into the musle room nnd took n sent by my side, talking on indifferent themes at tlrst, gradually coming to the subject of my marriage. Ho sat abstracted a few moments, then suddenly faclngmo, ho almost hissed tho question into my oars, "Do you lovo my brother, as a woman should lovo tho man sho mar ries?" If ho had struck mo a blow it could not havo hurt mo more; to bo asked the question by tho man I loved nbovo all earthly things, was llkoublow from an unseen hand, I felt tho blood leave my face, and clonchod my hands till tho nails cut in to tho (lesh. It was over in one gasp; I recovered my senses nnd my prido catnu to my nid. He had now my heart and wanted to test his power still fur ther; ho must have seen how passionate ly I had loved him, but I would give him no cause to believo 1 still did so. I returned his gaze willi eyes unflinch ing, then clasped my hands theatrically together and answered "Lovo him? It Is a tame expression, I would die without li Is love." Was I dreaming, or did his lips gleam whitely from un der the black moustache? 1 must have been dreaming fur ho aroso in a mo ment and asked mo in a quiet natural tono of voice, to play for him, and placed on tho music rack that silly rat tling nlece,"MyMaryAnn."Not a quiver In his clear rich voice, but ho was gay and irreslstably funny, and I laughed bitterly as I imagined perhaps ho had loved me. Loved mo ? tho gay, bril liant, handsome Adonis, love tho plain Ivy Vuyno so unliko his handsome self? what wietched folly bad come over me. I was looking for Wait's return hour ly, lor In four days I would be hiswife, and J looked forward to that ovent as my only safety. After I was Wall's wifu It would lie sinful to lovo Gerard, and I found myself nctinlly longing for tho return of my hctrothed. Return ho did, only to put off our wedding till tho following April. Business would call him away to tho West again immedi ately and ho would not tako mo with him, 'till tho tedious business was off his mind. I fancied I heard Gerard mutter "scoundrel," under his heavy' moustache, while Walt was explaining hurriedly to mo why ho must leave me, but again it wns fancy on my part, for lie was humming an opera air. The postponed marriage occ;p-ionod great surprise in Elton, nnd much gos sip, especially after Gerard took Ills de parture for his homo in tho sunny South, butlheedednottho busy tongues but went quietly on my way, almost happy. I was lying ono evening on tho s.ttin damask faiiteuilXn ourclinriiiiiigsltting room, when tho door was opened softly and n voice whoso rich cadence bent thrills of rapturo through my heart, mid, "Ivy, are you hero ? Speak to me, II ljJerard." What need of telling mo that, when even tho sound of his footstep was fa miliar to mo, I sprang up and turned tho gas on brightly. I shall never for get tho look on bis handsomo face, as ho advanced towards mo with out stretched hands. "Ivy read that, but for Iiea veil's sako bo calm, I thought I could tell you, but I cannot. I'oorchiid, It was cruel, cruel I tho heartless scoundrel I "Say good byo to mo Ilrst, for I cannot stay to seo your misery',' and know it's out or my power to chastise tho villain, because ho Is my brother, tho dastardly wretch I" Ho clenched his shapely white hand iu his auger, then snatched mo to his breast, kissed mo passionately on Hps nud hair, and was gone, with only a crumpled lotter iu my hand, to assuro mo tho past fuw moments wero not tho continuation of my dream. I opened tho letter In a bowlldered manner and read tho following "Upon you dovolves tho necessity of telling Ivy all. I did think' I loved her, until I mot beautiful bewitching Belle.

I thought of tho "ono heart" I had hoped to win and failed. In nil tho years I had had no tidings of Gerard, but a letter camo from Walt bearing these few words : "My own Ivy may I still call you mine? My wlfo hns been dead two yiars, sho was a high-tempered crea ture, and wo lived most unhappily, and served mo right for my desertion of so fair nnd sweet a flower ns Ivy Vnyno, but I will mnko nmends for all when I see you.

I could after tills laps of years barely tolerato his name, and then, only for tho sako of Ids brother. I returned the note to tho address with these words. "I never loved you oven In tho past, I despiso you now too thoroughly, to over look upon your faco." I had heard but oneo since of him: report said ho was engaged to an heiress, far from beautiful in looks or temper. I was still nt tho piano when n visitor wns announced, nnd Ann (our old ser vant) ushered In a tall inlddie-nged man. I sprang up to welcome him, with outstretched hands, then, remembering nil, I coldly placed the tips of my fingers in his palm, nnd said,"you nro welcome Mr. Strathmoro, to my home,oucemore. Alas I there havo been many changes since I last beheld you, but those whoso voices wero wont to greet you nrohushed Iu silence. I am alone, alone." My voice broko from Its steady calm ness and beforo I knew It, my head was pillowed on Gerald's breast. "Not alone, darling! if I may comfort you.

"Do you remember tho tlmo I asked you 'if you loved my brother asu wo man should lovo the man sho Intended lo marry ' and your reply ? It was a death blow to my hopes; I dared not wrong you nnd him by my love. I fear ed to wrong your gentle heart, and could not cndtiro tho thought of receiving 'your pity.'

A correspondent of tho Bradon Mlss Isslppl.Republican wrltingfrom Forrest in tho samo State, on tho 23th of March, payi: Several days previous immense post ers were pasted on all tho walls in town, announcing that Reynold's great Mexi can Uymnaslum and Menagerio would exhibit in Forrest on that day. Early in tho morning all the roads leading to town wero thronged with peoplo of all nges,se.es,and colors.nnd by ten o'clock tho whole town was alive with visitors awaiting tho arrival of tho menagerio. At eleven o'clock tho fine brass baud announced tho arrival oftho show, and by twclvo tho canvas was stretched and the cages of tho animals arranged. Tho huge elephant Hercules tho lar gest ever imported into this country- was chained to a stake ; and, by way of caution to thoso entering tho canvas. .John Alston, his keeper, stated that ho had for several days manifested a disno sition of insubordination, and begged that no ouo would approach sulUcIently near to receive a blow from his trunk. Mr. Mark Kilo, from the northern part oi mis county, coming in nfter Mr. Al stou'sndmoultion, thoughtlessly handed him a pieco of tobacco, which so enraged mm that ho struck at him witii such violence as to dislocato Ills shoulder, al though It was a glancing blow. Ho plunged with such force that ho broko his chain, and, although his keeper used every effort to subduo him, ho was en tirely uncontrolable.and ho would striko and kick nt every object near him. By tiiis tlmo tho sceno was beyond descrip tion. The vast crowd flew for life. Ho flew at his keeper and pursued him un der the canvas. Tho eleven o'clock freight train being behind tiiuc.and not having any freight for Forrest, and tho engineer not intend ing to stop, camo rushing along at tho rate of twenty miles an hour. When it had approached within two hundred yards he looked up and seemed doubly enraged. Ho immediately ran toward it with grcnt speed, und met it witii such a stroke that ho broko ono or his tuyks and wns immediately killed. Tho en gine wn.s detached rrom tho train and tlirown-rrom tho track, and Mr. Whar ton, tho engineer, having failed to shut off the steam, it unfortunately ran into tho canvn3 and smashed tho lion's case, killing tho lioness and releasing tho Hon. Tho lion lludlng himself uninjured and at liberty, and being frightened by tho steam and whistle of tho engine, started at full speed down the Home- wood road, roaring toirlfienlly. Ho had gone but a short dfstanco when ho met Mr.Geerg'i W.Sheppiird and gavo chase. Mr. Sheppard finding that ho was gain Ingupouhlm rapidly.and that he would certainly bo overtaken, attempted to climb a s.ijillng. Ho struck nt him with his paw ns lie ascended, hut fortunately did no other damage than to tear off his coat till I and carry away n part of his pants. Mr. John Smith, or Raleigh, who was on his way to Forrest, riding his lino pacing horse, with his littlo son behind lilin, met him rour miles rrom hero. As soon us his horso saw him ho neigh ed, when the Hon rushed nt him, seized him by the throat nud threw him to tiio ground. Mr. Smith witii his little son escaped to tho wood and made their way to Forrest on root. Whllo hq wus devouring Mr. Smith's horso, Mr. Jamoa J. Rltcli, who was on his way to Forrost with a load or chick ens, drove up. As soon as ho saw him ho rcarod ou hu hind feet, lashed tho ground with his tail, r.ud sprang uthlni. Mr. Ritch eluded him byjumpiug rrom his wagon, when ho mounted and began to tear open tho boxes containing thq chickens and turned them out. Ho then seemed to loso sight of overythlng lu his efforts to catch thorn. When tho excitement In town abated, about twenty mounted men, well armed, started In pursuit with ull tho dogs be longing Iu town as well ns many who had followed their owners. Mr. Reynolds, tho ownor of the lion, begged them not to kill him, and sent several. men with tho crowd with Instructions to capture htm if possible, but no doubt ino citizen win kiii nun ns soon as thoy overtake him. It Is reported that ho killed a frcod miui In Smith county, near Mr. Thomas Husband's, and that when last heard from ho was going down Ocoha, The news that; a lion is nt largo spreads like wim-iiro, and the cltlzous nro greatly excited. nATK3 OF ADVERTISING, Om1 Miinrr, lines or Hi ((intvn.

Ono Saturday afternoon, Just nsn worthy old pastor iiad finished his studies for tho duties of tho following day tho choir lender pre sented himself at tho parsonago with a paper In his hand, nnd wns admitted into tho study. After tho salutation, tllO Ilian Of SOUL' told the linulnr s.-ttl. quite nn ulr of complaisance, and conll- donee, that hu rillllil In rrml In l,l, n. alteration iu a certain hymn, which ho thought was a great improvement, and sounded much better in singing. Being requested to read it, ho said, "I will Ilrst read you tho original, that you may seo the improvement; "And 1st our hearts In tune b found, Llko David's harp or solemn sound." Tho good old man raised his specta cles nnd listened to tho following : "And let our hearts Iw turned within, Like David's snored violin." For n moment tho good old pastor was speechless, and could not answer, but liking a Joko as well as most men, and at tho same tlmo desiring to ad minister a rebuke to tho poet-ass, saitl with u great appearance of deference "You havo mado quito an alteration certainly, Mr. A., but I could Improve oven upon that." Quite horrified at the old fogy or a pastor for his presump tion, ho replied that of course ho had no objection to hearing his version. "Well, then, it is this: " And let our hearts go diddle, diddle, Llko Undo Dayld's sncred fiddle" 1 believo tho hvmn win nnf. nllorml and rumor says that A. left tho village, viounami an.
