The line olil inanaion of tlio Alber- glii family, tiuar GltickstruU, was btil- lantly liiilitoil, nnd tlio sound ol niusio was borno on the cvoniiiK air across tho rolling, sparkling waters of the IUI10. lliat night a grand ball was given by Count Frederic Albcrghi, the only remaining repiesentivo of tho noblo family whoso name lie bore. 1 ho building was massivo stone, high and dark, protected by moat, drawbridge and batilempiited towers. It was a fine old feudal ca9tle, built in the time of Frederick II. Outside it looked grand and gloomy; inside it wasablazo with lights, and redolent with tho per fume of choice flowers which were scat tered in profusion, not onlv about tho largo reception saloon, but in all tho smaller apartments which were thrown open to the guests. In a little room iar removed tram tho rest, in the Eastern tower, stood two persons a young man, remarka bly handsome, though there was an ex pression or deep care upon hU face, and a lady. Tho lady was not remark ably handsome just now, as she lis tened to her companion with drooping eyes ; indeed, must people would call her simply pretty till she raised her c.v prcssive dark blue eyes, and the bril liant, sylph like smilo broke over her faco Tlio two wero standing talking carelessly together, tho lady leaning against the heavily-carved oaken win- dow-frame,and the young man stand ing nearly opposite her, caressing a bright-eyed falcon perched upon "his wrist. "So, Count Albcrghi, you will bo re membered for a long while as the young noble who gave tho most siileu did ball as yet over attended." i ho lips ot the young man curled, and ho answered contemptuously : 1 hat is suivlva name worth gain in i; at any price." "Ut course ! said the lady. "15nt why so scornful about it ?" "ion know, Lady Lena, that I care only for your approbation ; that tho ball is given only in honor and to pleaso you, whose slightest wish I would grnt- ty at any expense. "Alas, Count Albcrghi, I am told a dozen timoks each day !" "Probably : but tho words do not como from tho heart as initio do." "Pooh !" said the lady. "They all swear that ! " "Very well, Lady Lena; I may some time be able to prove tho truth of my wonis. i navo oeen a tool. i or tlirco years I have hung upon your accent, jullilled your every wish, as far as lay in my power. .My fortuiio which was ample I laid at your feot, that you migiii nave every possible want sup plied ; and in return for this devotion I havo received nothing but coldness and scorn. You know that I lovo von as fow men love with my wholo heart and soul and yet you scorn me. You arc rich and noble, I still lovo you as madlv as ever, but to-night is tho last time T bow before you. This once 1 plead, Lady Lena, to bo shown somo kindness. For tho last time I offer you myself. Will you accept mo '?" Lady Lena turned very paloas sho lis toned to tho rapid, passionate words uttered by tho young man who knelt boforo her. Her eyes grew dark with some inward feeling, but her words destroyed tho faint hope which had risen in his heait at tho gentle expres siou on her faco. "Oh, rise, Count Frederick, for I know this is all nonsense instantly. To-morrow you will bo beside mo as usual, and tlio next, and every day, just as you havo been tor years. Tho young mail rose, and in nnswer to her taunt, only bent his head and toildeiiv stroked tho uloi.sv bond mid neck of tho bfight-oyed bird on his ! .1..-. I. l' . . . wnsi, iuih looKeu iioui ono to another, as if itupfuing what was going on. Pitpicd at his silence, tho lady ex claimed : "Where now is your boasted lovo ? I say u bitter thing to you mid you do not retaliate." "I cannot forgot inysclt so far us to retaliate to a woman." "No," said she, 'bnt you can sneer. You sneer and stroke your falcon, whioh J know possesses morooi your boasted lovo than 1 do." "ileannette ii.-ver wounds mo," ho replied "In rtttirn for my caresses she does not give me bitter coldness." "Peibaps pho would if sho could speak:, poismted iho ladv "Actions, Lady Lewi," said hi',"spi'ak louder than words," Tlio girl's eyes Hashed, and hIio turn ed to the door, but paused as sho near ed it, and looking oyer bur shoulder said, contemptoiisly ; "I suppose tho cause of your lovo for that bird is because sho onco belong ed to eomo former lady lovo t" Tho tone was very insulting, and this time tho young man raised his head with Hashing eyes, nnd his words weio rapid and indignant. "You aro right," ho replied. "This falcon belonged to a noblo lady, whoso kind, womanly heart scorned to indict a wound upon tho meanest croaturo j ivho trampled not under loot honor able lovo offered her, as if it wero a disgraceful thing. Ono whom I loved devotedly, and who, had she been tin able to return tho affection offered her, would yet havo rejected it with consid erate gentleness." "Why, then, don't you lcttirn to this paragon of tenderness and virtuo I" sneered tho lady. "She would willingly sootho my wounded spiiit," ho replied ; "but sho is dead." Without another word Lena sped from the room, her brain on firo, her eyes full of tears. Counld Frederick have seen her as she, leaning far out of a window weeping bitterly, ho would havo forgiven tho bitter words. As it was they parted in anger. Left alone, Frederick paced tip and down tho room. In his despair ho murmured aloud : "I have been a driveling fool a madman 1 For thrco years I havo devoted my time, heart and fortune to tho service of this heart loss woman ; ono day rewarded smiles, tho next day with frowns. To-morrow, when the bills aro paid for debts incur red for this night, I shall bo absolutely penniless all my fortuno Bpent upon this vain flirt, who lis undeserving tho name of woman. Yes, to morrow my furniture, horses and plate will bo sold, my servants discharged, and all that will remain to me is this old castle, myfaithful nurse, Margaret who will not leavo me, and my falcon. This building, now ringing with tho sounds of music, dancing and merrv laughter, will bo closed to becomo tho anctuary of rats and owls. For myself, I shall withdraw from society, and in this small, gloomy"tower, support my pov erty and despair as best I may. I havo been worse thanfoolish I havo, been wicked. J5nt this unmanly repining win not no. imust rejoin my guests. So saying, Frederick replaced tho falcon on its porch near tho window, and forcing a gay smilo and careless air, sauntered into tho ball-room, and from that time till tho company loft he was seemingly tho gayest of the gay. "Quick, Su?an I fasten this bodice and bring mo my hood and mantle and tho thick shoes !'' exclaimed Lady Le na ; then added, impatiently : "You'll have to pin this handkerchief and aprou string, for my hands tremble so I can not do anything." Tho maid obeyed, and soon her young mistress stood boforo tho ele gant mirror, laughing to seo herself iu complete peasant's attire. "Will anybody know me, Susan V sho asked, laughing, as sho drew tho hood over her face. "No, indeed, Lady Lena," replied the maid ; ',if I hadn't seen you dress I should not know you rnyselt. "Then I am off 1" "And, suiting tho actiouto tho word, tho graceful Ladv Lena van out of tho room and down stairs in a very undig nified way. In tho garden sho was met by a lov er of Susan's, who exclaimed : "'Pears to mo wo aro in a monstrous hurry, Mistress Susan. Can't you stop to give a fellow a noontide kiss ?" "Away with you !" sho exclaimed. 'You shall have two kisses when I como back, it you won t stop mo now." "Good bargain, Susan," said he. "!' have not much to do, and will wait by the gate till you come back." Away sped JiOiia. Alter a pretty long, rapid walk she reached Uastlo Albcrghi, and entering by a low pos tern door which sho found open, made her way to the doorol tho tower whero she saw old Margaret seated. "Ciood noon, Dame Margaret, said liena. Tho old woman raised her head, and recognizing Susan, Lady Lena's favo- no waiting maul, sho returned a very sulky greeting. "IJon t bo cross, Margaret, she con tinued, "I've got a beautiful noto for your voting master trom my lady. "You needn't como hero with it, then, said Damo Margaret. "Your ladv's notes havo brought sorrow enough to this house." "But, Margaret, I was sent to deliver t and receive an answer, and I daro not go back without it , it would cost mo my place, and you wouldn't be so cruel as that to a poor girl who has never dono you any harm." Ileio Lena began to sob, and Marga ret rose, saying : "You havo never dono mo any haim so givo mo tho noto and let mo take it upstairs quickly. Tho noto was produced, and Marca ret grumbling took it up stairs, mutter nig as hho did so, "Mush good, much good it will do my poor young master it isn't sealed very closoly, and if could read it 1 would open it, and then it tiicro was anything in it to wrong, him I'd sooner put my hand in tho firo than givo it to him." liy this timo sho had reached tho second storv and knocked at the door.

Tho dinner was soon served, and iena shuddered as she glanced loug, dark uufurnished room, seen last bril liantly lighted and decorated and filled with sprightly guests, and before whom groaned a tablo coveredjwith every lux ury the season attorded and money could buy. What a contrast ! Now all tho gorgeous hangings, furniture, pic tures, silver, glass and lights wero gone, and in their placo stood in tho empty room a small deal table bearing two covers and one dish ot meat. With all his old grace of mannor, Fredoiick led Lena to the table and took his placo opposito her. That meal was a silent one, lor fiodenck was abstracted, and Lena so nearly overcome by everything around her that she could scarcely re press her tears. As they rose from the tablo tho Couut said, i'l am sorry, madame, to offer you so poor a repast j but ' "Don't speak of it, count," hastily interupted Lena, affecting a gaycty she was far from feeling.

Aiif Well, there is a reason for everything mil a cause for overv effect, but I don't know why there aro moro girls than boys, and I wish somebody would tell mo. Somo folks say it is a sign of peace. The girls aro tho smartest, I know, for thoy havo had tho most edu cation. Boforo tho war tho boys wero nut forward and the girls kept in tho background, but now tho boys havo to work, and so tho girls aro sent to school and to college, and tho boys havo to m.ij ij mi i. -"v ... v.. ........... why tho girls are the smartest, and my fear is that they aro a little too smart and won't marry those young lciiows who can't write a httlo poetry and don t know whether Byron wroto Shakespeare or Shakespearo wroto Byron. But I reckon they will, sooner or later. Mrs. Arp says that girls marry too soon, anyhow, and sho don't want any of her'M to marry under 20, unless tho offer is a very splendid one in all respects. I reckon that is tho reason sho wont off at sweet 1C: but I think Gibbons is mistaken. Tho census shows about as many boy children as girl children in Georgia. We'vo got six boys and four girls, aud that is about right. There's moro anxiety about tno gins. inoy watch these young fellers for fear of trouble, for the old saying still holds good: 'A sou is a son till ho marries a wtte: A daughter is a daughter all tho days of her life.' It is sad to seo a girl como back to her father's house to live after she has been married a year or two. Poor thing she never know what a good homo she had until she left it, and by-and-by she comes creeping back, palo and sad, and the man sho trusted goes another way. That is tho wreck of a life. No moro happiness for her. No wonder that parents feel anxious about their daugh ters, and the daughters ought to think aud ponder a long time before they marry. A father's house and a mother's love aro hard to beat. But then a hap py marriage is the highest state of hap piness, and every girl ought to look forward to it. There arc lots of clever voting men in the land young men of mate with 'cm, money or no money, Money is a good thing, but principle is better; and it a young teller has got both, and don't drink and gamble, and is industrious aud healthy, why ho is all right, and if I was a girl I would put him on probation and say, I think you aro a very good man, but you know I am an angel, aud if . Vell, if ho scorned to doubt my being an angel I would iust tell linn to go hence. It a young man dou't look upon his girl as being an angel before he marries he never will afterward, and if I was girl I would be an angel as long as could. Charity to thelallen.

What her record in, no one can prove, and her effort to earn an honest living ought to be a recommendation to every charita ble person.
