and thero nro not many ladies who
would thank you for it, cither i so I
tuipposo it is another proof of my
goodness. But your compliment dots
not prove your nsgertion ; and your

"And pray who may that be, Mag

"My particular friend, Lillie Hoi
brook. She is coinini' to make mo a
isit, and I defy you to resist her, red

"i dely her I berioiiBly, Maggie, it

"Well, civc me vour worn that vou
won't bo enlaced to any one till vou

"Very readily. I havo no thoucrhts
of civinc up ray freedom vet." And
the good-natured, indolent fellow
threw himself into a luxurious chair,
and with his feet in another ho pro
ceeded to smoke his fragrant Havana
in .lazy lornctiulncsn of cvervtlnncr

"Nav. vou cannot do that. Aubrev.
bocause I earo so littlo for your talk.
But I am really anxious about your

nothing to employ your time after 2
o'clock, and no incentive to active and
healthful toil for tho mind or body
at least, no visiblo incentive I am
afraid you aro passing away this sea
son of youth almost too lavishly, and
that by-and-by, when ago comes, you
will have no resources against it."
"What can I do, Maggio ?"
"Read for one thing. Those vile
cigars stupefy your brain, when you
ought to be storing it with knowledge.
lou nave talents, Aubrey, but you
will not uso them ; and I believo the
best wish for you from those who love
you would be that you should loso
your property and your present situa
tion in tne uaiiK, ana become a uu
pundent upon your own invention for
support.',
"1 hank you, dear? lour wish is
very benevolent, but I cannot say that
I respond to it."
"Very likely ; and yet I believe
your character would increase in value
a thoiisana loltl. IaIo lias been too
easy to you, Aubrey. You have never
the 'uses or atlvcrsity your bpirit
needs uplifting, and it can never be
uplifted while theso indulgences of
life lie so thickly around you. You
have never mastered a difficulty
never earned an enjoyment.
Margaret was right. Aubroy Kin-
nard needed discipline tho discipline
of sorrow or of poverty, to bring out
his interior resources. lie had talents,
but they lay dormant because there
was no outward necessity for their
uso. He had not genius for that
will nia'-e itself known but he really
had tnlcnts, only that ho did not see
why he should trouble himself with
application to any pursuit when tor-
tuno had saved him tho anxiety of
providing for tho future.
lie had benevolence that transient,
sympathetic benevolence which can
not bear to look upon apparent suffer
ing but no nau not that deep and
wide-spread feeling which prompts to
acts of self sacrifice, and which seeks
for objects on which to expend its en
ergies. That was tho benevolence
which Margaret Ashton would have
l icouraged. Aubrey had seemed to
her as a brother. His father's house
had been her homo from childhood,
and as he had no sister ho enmo to
think of Margaret in that light. Sho
was rich, too, in her own right, hho
was richer, too, in n Btrong and active
mind, a firm will, a steady, iufloxiblo
sense of right, and an aotivo and self
defying benevolence.
J.ulie ilolbrook was her dearest
friend, and sho had often wished that
Aubrey could know her. Sho was
just such a woman as he ought to
marry, and although averse to match
making in general, shu determined in
this particular case to throw them, if
possible, into each other's society.
ubrey was out ot town lor a tuw
days, and when ho returned, it was to
finil Miss Ilolbrook fairly installed for
ajong visit. Sho was all, and more
than all, that Margaret had so often
painted to him, nut nlnsl sho had tho
obnoxious colored hair 1 True, it was
long, and soft and glossy, and hung
in rich curls on her neck and shout
dei 6, and in all other respects sho was
a lovely nnd nttractivo girl ; but ho
never, no nover, could get over that
objection, ho told Margaret. Ho
begged of her not to talk of him to
her friend, for he could fulfill no
hopes that sho might raise,
"Aubroy 1 l.tllio Ilolbrook would
nover many a man who was so indo
lent and purposeless as yourself. Shu
told mo so hcrsclt.'
"Then yon havo already talked mo
over. Was that kind or dolicato, Mug
giul" "JJnn t bo so nasty, Aubrey. lou
havo never been mentioned m any
way, but wo often converse upon pref
erences nnd tho very charaoter which
you possess was this morning uncon
sciously described by Lillie, nnd her
opinion given. '
Aubrey was piqued nnd fretful, and
as it was a rare mood tor him to bo in
Margaret rather cnioyed it. Sho did
not irritato him by words, but she
looked an that siio leit, ami no saw
alio was thinking of his life, so un
worthy as ho know bIio thought.
At that moment it mado him uu
lust to both Margaret and her friend,
although ho could but acknowledge-
when Ills temper cooled that they
were so different to tho common olass
of young ladies. Thoso with whom
he had been acquainted had flattered
rather than found fault with him, nnd
he found(a tileasant variety from the
fiweets with which ho had been po
often cloyed, in this independent lady
who dared pick Haws in characters
which, no doubt, sho compared to hU.
At any rate it mado him resolvo to
cultivnto her acquaintance more full.
But how should ho do it? Lolling in
his cousin's room nil tho afternoon
hours, whilo they snt nt work, would
not, it seemed, recommend him to
tlioso utilitarian ladies. What exploit
should ho attempt? Ho applied to
Margaret, but she couhl not mark out
any path for him. Ho must think for
himself.
There was a long timo in which he
forsook his usual scat in Margaret's
room. Sayings that dropped from
her, and harder still, from her friend,
boro such reproachful bearing upon
tho indolence nnd uselcssuess of his
life, that he felt displeased nnd irrita
ble. "A gocd sign I" said Lillie. "Your
cousin will bo something yet. I knew
there was good metal there, if you
could but strike the right spot."
She had been talking to him of the
grandeur of a life devoted to the in
terests of humanity, self-sacrificing,
active, fearless of rebuke. Sho paint
ed the glory of such a life, as compar
ed with one given up merely to selfish
enjoyment or inactive indolence, lie
applied all her sayings to himself, and
was vexed with himself and with her
whilo he could not but acknowledge
that he deserved it, when his life was
so aimless. Ho could not but own
that his chief purpose was to livo for
his own enjoyment but purely tho
enjoyment of the senses.
And now in his few and transient
visits to his cousin's room, whore tho
two sat in conclave, ho laughingly
told them, upon his faults, ho began
to feel that Lillio Ilolbrook was a wo
man whom n man might both love
and reverenco ; love, for her bounty
and genuine kindness of heart, nnd
roverenco for her noble independence
of mere show and fashion.
"Is not Lillie's hair darker siuco sho
came hero?'1 he asked Margaret one
morning, when, for a great wonder, ho
found his cousin alone.
"Much the same as usual, I think ?"
said Margaret. "Quito red, isn't it ?
And what a pity it is when she is so
handsomo otherwise"
"It does not strike mo as being so
very red, Maggie. At least, it is not
the color which I dislike so much. It
seems to me that it is of that shade
called amber by the poets."
"No, Aubrey, poor Lillie's hair is
decidedly red and sho calls it so. She
does not like it any better than you do,
but sho is too wise a girl to quarrel
with nature about tho shado of her
hair.
It was all in vain. Aubrey grew
deeper and deeper in love with Lillie

ubicy had other causes, too, of
trouble. A clerk in the bank with
which he was connected was suspected
of wrong. Aubrey had not left town
ns they supposed, but wns watching
him unsuspected, night and day, and
yet the man escaped him. The em
be.zlement covered the whole amount
of Aubrey's property ; and when he

gar. Much ot his lathers property in
tho same connection, anil ot his bare
ly enough was left to secure the old
people against tho chances of poverty,
I' ortuuately Jiargarct s lortuno was in

which he had to communicate ; and he
sullercd severely in doing so.
'llio next morning the bank declared
its inilurc. llio embezzlement was
only one of a series of enormous
frauds, practiced by this clerk and an
accomplice, in which thoy wero sue

"Where aro you going, Aubrey ?"
asked Margaret, ono morning, a week
after the affair, as sho saw him como
down stairs with his cloak on his arm
and his valise in his hand.
"I sail in tho next steamer to Cali
fornia, cousin. I'm going to Now
York this afternoon."
"And nover told mo until now, Au

"I could not bear to talk about my

was the hrst ouo that 1 ever mado m

"l'oor auntie i now will sho bear
it?"
"Poorly enough nt first, but sho will
get reconciled at last. It was no uso
to prolong her suffering, to I am going
away, and shall then write her just
beforo I sail. I must not havo her

thoy will it 1 tell her now."
"And this Is to bo our good-by ? '
said Margaret, as her coimin pressed
hor hand. "And do you say nothing

"Whero is sho ?"
"In tho drawing-room, alone."
Aubroy mado n movement forward
as if ho would havo gouo in, but ho
camo back to Margaret and charged
her with a bimpio tarowcii.
"I shall return in si year, Maggie

Ho was gono beforo sho had recov

How lonely seemed tho houso with'

departing, and urged Margaret to no

and Lillio departed with tho promise
ot another visit soon.

composed. Ho was looking around

and still another of discouragement
Ho had been seriously ill, but now ho

"Why, Lillio I thuro is some mystery
here with which I am not to be matlu
acquainted, It seems."
No mystery at all, Margaret. Aub
rey wanted to marry mo when he was
rich and prosperous and indolent. I
refused that Aubrey but hero is an
ther Aubrey, who writes these letters
and who seems to bo altogether of n
ifferent character. Ho Is poor ntid
struggling, it seems for a living but I
tell you, Margaret, this Aubrey would
nvo a (intercut answer from mo now."
Margaret sat speechless' with won-
ei. olio did not dream ot it belore
She fat so long without speaking or
raising her eyes, that Lillio began to
think that sho was offended, but her
blight and satisfied look when sho did
ook up was sufficient.
"Just what 1 always wished, I. lllit1,
nnd yet 1 am vexed that neither of you
told mo before."
"What was tho ute, when nothing
as to come of it, Maggie? Of coursi
iubroy would not trumpet his own re

to boast of his offer."
"Kight, Lillie; I sro I was foolish to

The Bioliest Redskins-
Of all the Indians in thu United
States says a correspondent, the Crows
are perhaps the richost, ns thoy eor
tainly arc the laziest. According to
their own estimate thoy number 1,100
women, 770 boys, and 070 girls
3,500 in all, about 300 in excess of
what tho interior department in Wash
ington has it.
The Crows have 4,713,000 acres re
served to them, which comprise somo
of the very best agricultural and graz
ing lands 111 the United States. Tlmir
reservation is in Custer County, Mon
tana, and contains more , land than
Borne of the States of our Union. Itis
situated on the south bank of the Yel
lowstone river, with n frontage of
nearly one hundred miles on that
stream, and takes in complete and
beautiful valleys of the Little and Big
Horn rivers, beside many other rich
meadow lauds made fertile by the nu
merous streams which tako their riso
in tho Big Horn mountains. It is in
deed a beautiful country, and the In
dians know it as well as tho whites do;
for it was in the same beautiful valley
of the Little Horn, eight years ago,
that Sitting Bull and his thousand
warriors; rather than give up their
birthright to the pale faces, fought
Ooneral Custer and his foldiers until

neiu ever since Mini memorame day
in 187(5 the Sioux have had no home.
Thoy were hunted by the United
States troops aud renegades of their
own tribe, wero driven about fro -a
point to point all over Northern Mi.;i
tnun, and finally compelled to capitu
late to Colonel Ilges and the military
at Poplin river on June 7, 1880. As
soon ns the lust Sioux Indian was
made a prisoner, Congress took in
hand the matter of their inheritance,
and by nn agreement made with the
Crows on June 12, 1880 (five day af
ter the surrender), and approved by
Congress on Juno 11, 1882. the Crow
Indians fell heir to the very lauds .tho
Sioux Indians had forfeited by reason
of their being at war with tho United
Stales government. This was the bit
terest pill the Sioux had ever been
forced lo swallow. It distrei-sed them
far mure to me their hated fots estab-Ui-hcd
in their own beloved homo than
all the losses they had sustained in tho
Little Horn fight.
But tho Crows are there, frco to
roam at will over four million acres of
leaiitilul mountain and river lands.
while iheir ancient cnumies, the unfor
tiin.'i'r Sioux, arc penned up nt Pine
Uidge, Standing Bock and other agen
cies, under the surveillance of the mil
itary, virtually prisoners of war.
Of theso four million seven hundred
and thirteen acres belonging to tho
Crows at least ono million acres nro
capable of tho highest cultivation.
Yet, during nil of last year and up to
tho present date, there were but leu
acres cultivated by tho Government
for tho Indians.and 0110 hundred and
twenty acres tilled by tho Crows them
selves without assistance from any
body. From tho ono hundred and
twenty-five acres handled by the red
men wero obtained about one thous
and five hundred busheU of vegeta
bles, which were consumed entirely by
themselves. Last year tho Crows put
thirty-five tons of hay and out over
inrco Hundred cords of wood. The
winter months, as is the custom among
all tribes, wero spent in hunting for
gamo among tho mountains nnd on
tho pla'uiB.
lint tho Crows, with a keener in
sight than is possessed by ordinary
redskins, have always kept tin eye to
business ns well as to pleasuro, and in
consequence thoy returned from their
last, winters hunt with not only a
good supply of meat for their squaws
nnd papooses, but also with nine thou
sand dollars woith of robes, furs, pel
tries and skins, Tho principal wealth
of the Crows lies 111 their lnrgo and
lino herds of ponies, which aro un
equalled on the continent for mettle
and endurance.
