HOW A WIFE WAS WON. Tliu openititi of tho Grantl Iudus- trial Exposition had brought mo to tho city in tho early part of tho spring in io70. TirC'it irom Jouir standinK anu walking around : moro tired still by tho shows and wonderful exhibitions of tho raiehty progress of civilization at homo displayed at this exposition, . turned my steps homeward ono after noon earlier than usual. I had taken leavo of my friends, making an en gagomcnt for a reunion later on in tho evening, and directed my courso to ono ot tho quiet quarters ot tho city in which my hotel was situated. Tho less ircquent tho bazaars and show- windows became, so much moro lUBig- niHoant became thu number of foot passengers ou the streets. iiut it seemed to mo a much moro stylish' looking part of tho city than tho pub' no unves oi tuo central portion, oo- cause here tho high, grave-looking houses were either government oflices or were inhabited uv city oihoials or wealthy private citizens. Jiclore mo walked for some distance a young and elegantly attired lady. At a curve of the street I succeeded in gettinc a llcetinc izlitupso of hor pro file, and felt mjself thereby urged to observe carefully even tho knot of golden blondo and suushiny hair, half covered bv the dark Encrlish hat, as well as tho extremely delicate, graceful, figure of tho still youthful girl. Suddenly her stop faltered, sue half turned, lingered for a moment, and then walked hastily towards me, past me, and back over the road by which she had just come. Not far ahead of us canio sauntering along an omccr, with a lady on his arm, gayly chatting and laughing. Could they have fright ened my Unknown ? A sudden inter est stirred within mo ; 1 wished to gain somo insight into her strivngo conduct, and theiofore mado a hasty turn, following her and keeping only a few paces behind. Then I saw how she pressed tho lit tle clenched hand passionately to her heart, and with tears in her violet eyes and a half-sad, half-scornful expression, murmured something to herself which my oxcited imagination fancied to bo : "O, foolish heart, why aro thou not quiet ; why mounts tho blood to my oheek and compels me to turn back lest t betray myselt f i be childish ebullition moved mo unconsciously, and a feeling of ieal- ousy stole over mo against that ofllcer whom 1 bad involuntarily thought ot n connection, with tins vouug girl. If I had only dared to address her ; but that I could not bring myself to do. Sho (-vidcutly belonged to tho first class of society, and nothing waB further from my thoughts than a desiro to in sult or intrude upon her. But fortune favored me. A small package which sho had hitherto carried slipped from hor arm wiiuout uer Having rcmarKcu it. Quickly 1 picked it up and gave it back to its fair owner, with a few po lite words. Sho looked at mo with a surprised, somewhat haughty glance, as 1 remained standing botoro uer rather longer than was absolutely nec essary, tier largo, violet, childlike eyes were still fillod with tears and tlio delicato faoo was deathly palo. "I thank you," she said, briefly, taking tho package from my hand. Bat, I did not allow myself to bo dismissed thus quickly. "Vou aro not well, my dear young lady,'' said I. "Will you not com mand my services ?" Something in my voice, perhaps also my quiet, respectful manner, scemod to inspire her with confidence. She look ed at mo with wondor in her beautiful, toarful eyes, and said, less curtly than beloro : 'You aro very kind, sir. I would liko to have n drosohc." I bowed : and while sho stood at tho window of a flower store, I hurried down tho street and soon found an empty vehicle, in which I joyfully, and with a gontlo feeling of oxpectalion of what would happen next, drovo back to my littlo Uiikiiowu. Moauwhilo sho had rog'iined her self-command ; only her hand yet trembled as sho in entering tho oar riago laid it lightly in miiio, and it felt ico cold through her glove. "Your residence I1" I asked, Sho named ono of the elogant streets in tho NYcst End, and as I called tho address to tho ooachmau I know how certain I would bo not to forgot it myself. I closed tho carriago doors sho then bowed her lovely head at tho open window and thanked mo for my sor vioo but sho spoko confusedly, and in her embarrassment tier palo checks oolorcd with a rosy blush, so that, sho appeared oven much moro charming than before. "May I call to-morrow and inqutro after your health 1" 1 ventured to ask, but sho eeemod takou by surprise at tho question and hesitated to answer, whilo tho blush docpened on her cheek. "Hi 1" cried tho coachman at this moment, the horses started off, and as 1 1 stepped again on tho sidewalk tho vehicle was already rattling away. As it in a dream l ontoreu my noiei. I could not refrain from laughing at myself i this ardor, this interest about a young lady entirely unknown to mo moio beautiful, moro dazzling vis ions than this childish, shy girl had often during my lifo crossed my path without having attracted mo particu larly. I was a riddle to myself ; how ever, I mndu the firm rcsolvo to flud out to-morrow somo particulars about this now street acquaintance. A tow hours later 1 sat with a num ber of ploaiant friends in ono of tho best icstaurauts under tho lindens. Tho conversation was lively and cheer ful, and thero were many ladies and gentlemen continually going in and out. In the neighborhood of thu table at which wo sat and mado ourselves mer ry was gathored n large party, joyous and gay liko ours. Somo young girlish faces before us having attracted me I involuntarily lookocf around for my unknown, but there yes, certainly thero ho was next to tho littlo blondo coquette, with the scdiictivo littlo small noso and tho showy felt hat tho officer of Lutzo- wer street, tho same betoro whom my littlo friond had taken flight, for al though I had no foundation for tho idea, sinco wo had met many other men on that street, I could not help thinking of tho large, showy, hand some, but utterly blase and insolent looking lieutenant ot intantry in con nection with hor. "Who is that palo oiliccr ?" asked I ot my friend Jb.ncb. "Whero t" I indicated the direction to him. "Tho ono with tho black beard, next to tho little blondo lady. "He?" said Elnch, and laughed "Why, ho is tho lato betrothed, thu handsome X'aumwoll. 1 thought you surolv must know him. "No, no ; but what is the story about limit 1 inquired. "Well, nothing moro than that yon der blonde has, with some troublo it must be admitted, captured him for life, after he had caused nearly ninety- nine others to dream ot tho happy tato For myself I never could havo attained such an elegiac calm, after breaking ou a love atlair. liut ho has been un fortunate. Young ladies with aud without pedigree, with aud without monoy-bags, bow down to him, after ho has dovoted himself to them for half an hour, entirely conquered by his irresistible fascinations. Aud it is just tho same with the old ones. Many, to bo sure, allege, indeed, that behind that titanic brow there is nothing but a cornfield, and that a thrcshed-out one. Willie Jincli had been speaking my eyes had wandered away from l'aum wolf. fits palo lace, framed in by curling black beard and hair, reminded mo, in tact, ol the Sens ot Utricoa To mo it was in the highest degree re pugnant. "Endugh tears havo recently been llowing from beautitul eyes sinco his betrothal with b raulotn .loscpha Maier has appeared in the Gazette. "Maior I involuntarily askod. "Yes, yes," laughed Erich, "simply JUaier with 'a d,' but passably pretty and immensely rich, of course. And since Fraulein Josepha does not look Jewish, i'aumwolt can euduio that his fathor-in-law m una should havo for merly beon a cloth merchant in Frank fort-on-tlio-Main." The coversation having once turned on the handsome Paumwolf, it did not soon leavo the subject. On tho other side of our table tho people wore whis poring about him, and ono said : "It is quito incomprehensible to mo that he did not rather tako tho little Gerdshof, whom he so recently courted. The girl is of altogether different stock from tho Maiers, ami sho seems to be head over ears in lovo with turn. "Yes, but tho money the money !' cried another. "Well, at all evonts, this one is a blonde, too, and a very rudo one, re marked a third. An idea suddonly seized mo. "Where does Fraulein Gerdshof livo ?" asked I of Erich. lie looked at mo for a moment with out spoaking and then laughed aloud "Well, you certainly aro amusing this evening with your abrupt ques tions. Bositles being called Von Gerd shof ot old Margravito nobility, hei father is a pensioned general, but where she lives 1 do not know. iJo you wish to console hor for tho loss of l'mnnwolf, old boy 1" I throw him a glance full of rage, A young assessor who sat at our table and scemod to havo hoard our dta loguo called out to mo : "I can givo you tlio address, baron liiirpnuzon stroot, JNo. 3ft. Ah 1 that was tho very dwelling of my Unknown. 1 felt all tho blood rush to my heart s thou thanking him for tho information, took my hat and stick, and without turning to reply to tho jesting remarks of tlioso remaining at tho table, leit tho placo to saunter, without aim or object, through the moonlit streets. How, after long wandering hither and thither, I finally found myself be foro tho much thought of houso Kur- pnnzen street, I "surely cannot toll went on tho opposito sido of tho stroot and looked at tho houso standing bo- foro mo iu tho clear moonlight. In the midst of blooming gardens tho dainty villa rose, with Ub antique, vino-covered and tunny columned gal lery in lront, like tho enchanted oas ties iu story books. And tho littlo fairy who wandered about therein t Was she Btill awake, sheltered bohiiid tlio ono singlo window of tho gable- end, which was still lighted : grieving, perhaps, about tho untaithful faum wolf? With pity, soorn and yes I will confess it burning jeabitsly in my heart, I at length ttiruod my steps homoward to my quiet lodging. After a rather sleepless and restless night, and sovoral anxious morning Hours, i mado my way at tho proper timo for visiting, to Ivurprinzen street. Now I was on tho stops. Oh, tho beating of my heart, tho almost pain ful oppression that canio over me I My pulsos had not throbbed so wildly sinco long years ago, when tho first volloy ot musketry whistled round my oars. In tho lonely old family estato ot uarwaido in tho juark, tho last low yoars had passed away so quietly and monotonously ; gravo studies ami practioal applioatiou of knowledge gained in earlv and distaut travels had occupied me so exclusively that tho enqueue ot tno great world had io come strange and unknown to mo.

Within tho elegantly furnished salon I found tho ccnerul, an old dignified gentleman, with erect, military boaring a martial, but not unfriendly counte nance, and a long gray board, which, howover, was carefully shaved from tho broad chin. After I had express ed to him my pleasuro at being ablo to help his daughter in her dilemma, and ho had thanked mo for tho slight ser vice ho scemod to bo informed of ev erything, and to havo expected mo somewhat wo passed from tho usual tortus ot politeness to a lively conver sation that extended over every possi ble topic. Tho timo passed as if on wtngs I almost an hour was thus spent in chatting with tho amiable old gon tleman, and vet Frauloin Evelino bad not appeared. But when at parting the general said ho hoped to see me often at his house during my stay in the city, I could not refrain from press sing bis hand iu deep heartfelt grati tude. Not long afterwards I received a delicately written card decidedly a lady's baud writing iu which Herr General Von Gerdshoff did himself tho honor to invite Herr Baron Von T to dine. I must confess I never had received an invitation with similar joy. What was tho excitement and expecta tion of tho first court ball, as compared with tho impatient, throbbing of my heart, with which I, on tho appointed day, betook myself to tho dinner. A numerous company had alroady assem bled ; many of the persons wero known to me, wero indeed friends, so that I soon found myself delightfully situa ted. And tho daughter of tho liouso f Thero stood Eveline with her friends, her grateful figure moving with be witching grace among tho guests ; for sho was obliged to assisted that aged, sonwwhnt conventional-looking lady in doing tlio honors of the houso tho (jtenerals wito had been dead many years and I could not help admiring thu tact and self-possession with which she, in spito of her youth, so charming ly filled her position as hostess. Hero she asked an old gentleman after tho health of his sick spouse ; thero whis pered somo pleasant remark to a young ady about her tastelul toilet, or repell ed a too gallant cavalier with a scorn- tut glance or a saucy answer. With each and all she knew just tho right lono to tako. alio was surrounded by all. Every one flocked about her, who, liko an apparition out of a storo-book, moved around among those moulded fashion-plates. Aud yet thoro lay in hor violet oyes, when sho believed her self to bo unobserved, a sad expression winch did not accord with tho conven tional smilo of the sweet, Binall mouth. At length tho signal for dinner was given, ltivclino laid tho tips of her dainty lingers ou the nrm of a tall blondo cavalier, a cousin of tho family. To my great annoyance my por tion was the Uouutess Soundso, no longer in tho first bloom of youth. I must add I had s-ecretly hoped to see Eveline's angelic head at my side. With a mien which was certainly not very atniiiblo I offered tho countess my arm aud led tier to tho place designat ed for us. Though otherwise a most cstimablo lady sho almost drovo me to despair with her loquacity, aud whilo sho even before soup inquired about my recent journey in tho East aud ex pressed a desiro to hear something about my hist new work, my glance strayed impatiently past tho questioner iu a vain search for Eveline. I bad not had tho opportunity to exchange ono word with her. She had only nod ded to mo from across the room, pleas antly and coutidingly, as to an old ac quaintance. Pretty soon I felt a gentlu touch on my arm, and a voice only too well re membered asked shyly and at the samo timo saucily : "Does mein Herr no longer recog nize his protego f " I turned quickly, aud yes, tla-ru In deed was Eveline, who had been sit ting next to me for full tivo minutes without my having observed her. Mv neighbor, tho Countess, and Eveline's escort, the cousin in the Guards, vory soon understood how much they might oxpect to be entertained by Evelino or myself during tho four or livo hours passed at the table. How tho time sped and what wero tho general topios of conversation wo novor know. But I was entirely happy during the whole timo. Not oncQ did I discover in her oyes that inelanoholy drooping which had beforo made mo anxious. Oh, if I could only succeed in making her forgot Paumwolf. To this fond, proud thought I concentrated all ray mind and efforts. With rapture 1 noticed how her eyes hung so earnestly on my lips as I told her of my distant travels, and of my restles wauderiug about from ono distant laud to another. And when 1 spoko of my dear solitary Bar walde, with its sombre fir trees, and its rush-grown ponds j of my Immonso li brary and tho beautiful grand piano which I often trusted to tho hands of my observer, just to havo somo accom pany instrument to my beloved violon cello, when I said, "surely, Frauline also plays ou thu piano, and very much bettor, too, than my observor," a thoughtful smile spread over her dear, sweet faco. Sho laved music vory much, sho ropliod, and it would givo her pleasuro to accompany mo somo day. "I hopa you will do that at Bar walde,'1 1 cried passionately.

ISvelinu and I have lived, many yo.ira at our quiet old Barwalde, where the sun seemed novor to have lison until Kvelino's blonde head flitted through tlio houso and grounds.

Country Fairs, The time is near at hand for tho an nual country fairs. There is no ques tion but that these gatherings are of great benefit to a community, and par tictilarly the agricultural part of it, whon they aro properly conducted. Their succcss depends not alono on tho societies having them in charge, but also upon tho members of the commu nity whero thoy aro held. It is tho duty of tho society to ariango tho grounds and buildings for exhibition as neatly and conveniently as their funds will permit, to offer as liberal in ducements as thoy can to exhibitors, to arrango their premiums according to tbo value and importance of articles, aud to mako their awards on a fair and just basis. But when thev have dono this, and all their other duties in the premises, much remains to be dono to make tlio fair a success. Tho surrounding com munity should tako an activo interest in it both in contributing to the display and by attendance. It should tako but a small measure of public spirit to induco every person living in tho vicin ity of tho fair grounds to help in somo way towards making a creditable showing. Whero a society in its ar rangements lias not departed from tho original purposes of an agricultural fair, tho results upon the community aro ot tno most beneficial character. Its moro direct benefits consist iu intro ducing a natural and healthy compe tition in a most important industry, in stimulating tlio people to more careful and judicious work, in imparting new ideas and useful information in regard to matters of tho farm and household. Many other benefits indirectly arise irom them, such as the promotion of social intercourse among a class of people whose occupations too often kept them strangers to each other. Whero a fair is so conducted that it is worthy of support, each member of the community should feel an in dividual responsibility for its success. Contribute to the display in somo de partment ; or, if not this year, try to produce something for the next. Eu oourage it at least by your attendance and by a manifestation of interest in tlio productions of the industry of others. j. jr. Observer. Frightened by Edwin Torrest.

Dr Henry Foster, of tho Clifton Springs Sanitarium, who had been there two or threo times as consulting physician, arrived on tho i.io tram and was convoyed to tho Folgor mansion by Dr. Smith, Mrs. Ernst, of Buffalo, the Secretary's sister, anived by thu same train, Justus tho three ciiteied the room tho Secretaiy breathed his last and all was over.

The telegraph was not ro soiled to earlier, as so sudden a tcrm'u nation of tho father's malady was not apprehended. The Secretary returned to Geneva for the last timo on Wednesday even- ing, tho 2Ulh ultimo. Ho called Ins family physician next morniog. Tho doctor gives the following diagnosis of tho case of his distinguished patient i Great feebleness of the heart's action : congestion of tlio middle lobe of tho right lung and capillary eoiiirostion of thu bronchial tubes ; torpor of tho liver j albuminous discharge of urine, showing disease of tho kidnos's.

Secretary Folger rodo out daily up to and includiug tho 29th ult., after which ho kept his room, but did not wholly abandon office work. lie continued to answer important lot tors and telegrams up to Wednesday and seemed reluctant to givo up. Yet he was by no means unconscious of his critical condition aud trusted to his friend, Captain Lewis, final messages to his children and other directions of a confidential nature. Within a few moments after tlio Secretary expired telegrams announcing tho sad event wero dispatuhed to President Arthur nt .Newport, Assistant Secretary of tho l reasury toon, frank operrv, his pri vate secretary ; Hon. Thomas C. Ac ton, Assistant Treasurer at Now York, and Judge Audiews, of Syracuse. Charles J. Folger was a native of Massachusetts and was born April 10, 1818, having passed his sixtv-Bixth year at the time of his death. Ho re moved to Genova, N. l . at the aco of twelve years nnd was graduated from the Geneva College with the honors of his clas in 1830, being then but eigh teen years oi age. lie at onco began the study of law in the office of Mark 11. Ssibloy, at Canandaigua. Young Folger was admitted to the bar in 1839 aud soon achieved prominence in his profession. Ho was appointed Judgo ot tho Ontario Coutt of Common Pleas in 1811, remaining on the bench one year, lie was also master and exami ner in (ihjucery until the Chancery Court was abolished by tho Constitu tion of 1840. In 8.r)l he was elected Couuty Judgo of Ontario county, hold ing that ollico four years. Having po litical as well as judicial aspiratlonss he was elected to tho State Senate in 1801 and continued in that body for eight years. Ho served an chairman of tho judiciary committee, and was President pro tern, of tho Senate dur ing tho last four years of his servico in that bCKiy, being tho recognized leader of his party. Ho acted with the Republican party from its first or ganization in May, 1870, received tho party nomination for one of the Assis tant Judgeships of the Court of Ap peals. A new Court of Appeals had been created, consisting of a Chief Jus tice and six Associates, and by tho terms of tho Constitution each voter was restricted to voting for tho Chief Justice aud four of tho Associates. Tho Democrats being m tho minority at tho time elected Chief Justice and four Associates, Judge holgcr and Andrews being chosen by tho Bepublicans. Tho term was fourteen years, but after hav ing serving ten years ho was elected Chief Justico in 18S0 for a torm of fourteen years. He would have retired however, on full pay after eight years, as ho would thcn hiivo reached soventy years, tho constitutional limit of ser vice on tho bench in Now York State. On tho accession of Presidont Arthur ho was mado Secretary of tho Treasu ry, an ollico which ho filled till tho timo of his deatli with honest aud pains-tak-ing fidelity. He was uomiuated for Governor of tho State of New York iu 1882, but owing to tho factional fights in tho Republican party at that time ho was overwhelmingly defeated, his opponent, G rover Cleveland receiving a majority of 192,000 votes. Friends of Socretary Folger say that his death was undoubtedly tho result of the worry, humiliation and shamo that ho felt in consequence of his do feat for Governor by Grover Cleveland two years ago. Ho was a person of great political ambition and he regard ed the Governorship of Now York as a stepping stono to tho Presidency. When he received the nomination his toy know no bounds. Tho State had been giving a Republican majority aud he thought surely that ho would be elected. Ho lover got that notion out of his head uilher nud was aston ished when lirBt his own town and then the State gave such overwhelming majorities against him. Ho almost went insnno at tho time. The position in tho Cabinet instead of proying a btmofit ouly helped to mako him moro discontented and hurt his health. Ho devoted weary hours to routine woik antl was harassed. Ho nursed his do feat and biooded over it, making him self sick again and again. Finally ho gave out ugain and went to his homo in tho central part of Now York State. His friends say that, liko Horace Greo ley, ho died of a disordered mind nnd that his death is littlo short of a polit ical tragedy. As a Judge, Folger was a bound, consistent man of integrity. But whon ho left tho bench for tho po litical arena hu becamo weak and ines oluto and soon showed himself unfitted to bear tho burden of defeat.
