MIRA CONE'S LOVERS.
" You will marry the old grey-bcard yet,
Miro, much as you assert tho imposssbility
of such a thing."
" No, indeed, Nellie I Not while so hand
some a rival as Harry Murray Js in the
field."
" But Mr. Grafton Is rich elderly, but a
true type ol one of nature's gentlemen."
" Yes j but one would liko to know the
original color of his hair) sandy, though, I
judge, from his skill," replied Mira, laugh
ing.
Nellie Clay had met Mr. Grafton tho eve
ning before, and been introduced by Mira.
After his rather lengthy call her aunt told
her he was in search of a wife, was a wid
ower nnd wealthy.
His eves followed you, Mira, wherover
you went. But tell mo about Harry j you
know I havo never met my cousin that is to
be."
" Oh, he is indiseribablo at handsome as
a picture. But yonder ho comes judge for
yourself."
Before Nellie could reply tho object of
their conversation stood before them, and an
introduction followed. They did not enter
the house but remained on the vine-covered
portico, where tho roses were nodding i Ii the
evening breeze, scenting the air with their
sweet perfume. The full moon, riding in
tho clear blue 8ky,sent her soft light down,
and mellowed tho scene with beauty.
Farmer Cone sat with them a half hour,
then went to the sitting. room in search of
bis wife. Years and hard work had not
lessened his love for her, nor mude him lin
ger away from hcrsido when the day's work
was done. They wero a singularly happy
family, and more fortunato than tho aver
age farmer in their home comforts. The two
Bons, older than Mira, were married and
lollowed their professions,nne asa physician,
and tho other a minister of the gnsiiel-
Mira was eighteen, and a younger broth-
named Josoph, net quite sixteen, made up
the family.
Did I exaggerate?" asked Mira of Nel
lie, after they had retired to their room.
"No, he is charming j although too intel
ligent to follow n plow. I would not per
mit it, if I wero you."
' Ho will hire the rough work done, nnd
farm on scientific principles. He has attend
ed an agricultural college for two years, and
thinks ho can make farming a success."
" I should think you would like a change.
Much as I like a summer visit to the count
ry, it must bo very dull in winter. How do
you spend tlio long evenings, without lec
tures, concerts, pai ties, operas and theatres?"
"Oh, wo never think of such things, and
find plenty of enjoyment in reading, and
sociability with tho neighbors."
" But Mr. Grafton has a fine city mansion
nnd plenty of money. How can you hesi
tate between citj nnd country life, when the
former offers wealth and case nnd the latter
poverty and hard work J 1 wish Gr.ilton
would transfer his love to mo; can't you in
timate that I am in tho market?"
"Yes, if you nro in earnest. But you
must not trifle with him, lie is too good for
that."
"No; I will become Mrs Grafton if ho
proposes."
.
After six weeks had passed Mira scarcely
know whether she was glad or sorry Nellie
bad come. She lound that her guest was
treacherous, nnd plotted to destroy her hap
piness. She found her guilty of many little
meannesses; nnd she frequently talked con
temptiously of farm work. Mira wasaecus
tnmcd to doing the milking and feeding tho
young calves nud pigs. One day Nellio ex
claimed: " I don't sco Iiowyou can wado about in
a muddy barn-yard among dumb beasts,
when a word from you might set you on
city pavements, or givn you a fine carriage
at command."
"I would rather walk with Harry than
rido with Grafton," answered Mira.
It was a wet disagrceablo evening in July,
and Mr. Grafton, having come to the farm
house iu the afternoon, wnsdetained because
of heavy shower. After tea, ho and Nellie
were sitting on tho portico, when Mira came
from tho barn-yard with two pails of milk
" It's too bad, Mira, that you should be
obliged to go to the row-yard such a wet
evening," said Nellie. " Why don't Joe
milk?"
" Joe is busy, and I am not complaining,'
replied Mira.
" She has only to name tho day, and she
need never enter a barn-yard again," eaid
Grafton.
" You had belter transfer your proposition
to Nellie, since your sympathy is lost upon
me," answered Mira, disappearing around
the house.
Nelly looked up archly into Mr. Grafton's
face, but ho pretended not to sco the fi no op
portunity fur love-making. His eyes had
followed Mira.
Mira felt keenly her cousin's sarcasm,
and when, a few minutes later, Harry cime
up the walk, she looked at her red hands
and wondered if ho had noticed the con
Irast between them and Nellie's soft while
ones
" IFhere are the others?" ho asktd Nellie,
stepping upon the portico.
"If you mean Mira, yonder she goes,
tending lo her stock ; she 1 scarry ing a buck
etful of buttermilk to tho pigs."
Mira heard a gay, mocking laugh, in
which Harry joined, and she felt the blood
rush to her neck and temples. A few mo
mcnts later she smoothed her hair, put on
a becoming evening dress, and went out to
meet her guests.
Nellie and Harry wero occupying ono
seat, and Mr. Grafton politely asked her to
sit by htm. Nellie darted n quick glanco at
Harry with her flashing black eyos, and he
noticed a soft flush on Mira's cheek.
A slight pause followed, then all grew
lively, and Mira was unusually bright and
full of repartee. She noticed that Mr. Graf
ton's brnadcluth was of the Uuest lexturi,his
white vest exceedingly becoming, his handt
toft and white as n baby's. He rested his
arm on tlio back of the seat, add she could
not resent it) but it brought hr nearer than
than she had ever been to his fide,
" He fairly worship, you," said Nellie an
hour later, wli.n they were ulon, "and
you were out out for u lady; you can put
05 as mueli dignity at any person I ever
nw. How beautiful you would look In
tilk and velvet!" ta
. " If vrhhet were horses," said Mira, laugh.
lo;, "I might bope to wear luch UcauLful
costumes. But Harry lovct me without
them aud that it happiness enough fur
me."
But Mr. Grafton could make your withes
como to pass. Think, Mira, how a diamond
would flash on your finger instead of that
plain gold rlugl Beside, there's a great
deat uf flirting dono In high life. You
would n t bo expected to bestow all your
sweetest smiles on your husbaud."
" Nellie, dare you Intimate that I might
bo nntruo to the man I marry?"
" Hush I you tilly little goose. No, noth
ing of tho kind; only you might havo a
mansion, a carriage, and servants, and still
enjoy young society. Mr. Grafton would
naturally seek his company among tho old
er class at social gatherings,"
Mirt's cheeks still burned, but the re
plied:
" I doubt whether I could adapt mvself to
such circumstances. I might do so many
awkward things my husband would be
ashamed of me."
But Mira could not quite shako off the
impression of Nellio's wolds. Sineo she
como to their happy homo she had not seen
Harry alone lor flve minutes. Nellio was
always sure to bo present, though she aud
Harry were much alone together.
" How elegantly Mr. Grafton dresses I"
said Nellie, ouo day, as they watched him
go down tho path. " Don't you think,
Aunt Kate that Mira might turn, one of her
beaux over to me?" laughingly asked the
subtle girl.
" Yes, provided you could fancy her re
jected."
"I am willing to tako cither, and bind up
his broken heart."
I think Mira lays no claim to Mr. Graf
ton," said her aunt, a little severely.
Before she could say any more Harry en
tered, having just thrown nwav tho slump
of a cigar nttho door. Tho smell of tobacco
smoko tainted the air as ho came in. He
was dressed in a light gray suit, very becom
ing, Mira bad always thought; butjust
now bIio was comparing it with Mr Grafton's
fine black broadcloth, his calf skin boots
with Grafton's patent leather, his gray vest
with the immactilato white, and his brown
hands with tho soft fingers of tho rich man.
"How unfortunate that you should come
just when we wero going lo dissect you and
Grallon," said Nellie, gayly.
" Ah! then I had better retire."
"No; we can defer it till some othcrtime.
It was only aunt and . Mira is invincible
firm as a rock," she continued, mocking
ly. "And you, Nellio?"
"Oil, I change with every handsome face.
I never could love the tame man more than
six weeks." And Elm cast an admiring
glanco upon him.
And as no one replied she continued:
"I am going back to Hie city next week,"
watching Harry closely ns she simke.
" Why, Nellie, your visit is only half
"Yes, but I nm tired of playing tho agree.
able to vour two beaux."
Then as another whim took her, she left
the room and did not return that evening.
Mrs. Cono went tn tho kitchen nud Mira
and Harry wero left alone. Harry drew a
chair lu her side and sat down.
'Why do you encourage M. Grafton In
coming hero?"
"I don't; ho simply comes and goes bo-
cause ho chooses.'
" You admire his fine clolhcs, his wealth,
his cily mansion, nnd only prefer me be.
cause ho is a little tuo old."
" Who says so? I have nnvcr used such
language."
"Nellio says you favor hi in with your
company moro than you do mo since sho
came."
" Would you bclievo her in preference to
me, dear Harry?"
" I must say I sec very litllo of. you late
ly." " Because she is always present and does
tho talking when you come. Sho never
answers the bell if sho knows it is Graf
ton." " Why do you allow him to colno ?"
" Ho is an old friend of pa's, and it would
bo awkward to tell him to stay away."
" And you mean to let him come, to keep
two strings to your bow ? You must choose
between us."
' Oh, Harry, how can you bo jealous of
an old gray-haired man? Da you suppose
that I care for him ?"
" Then dismiss him."
How can I dismiss him before he pro
poses? I might bo presuming too far to do
that."
" And you wish lo retain his favor? Tiicn
I will bid you good evening," and without
even a kiss upon tho sweet lips he was
gone.
" Oh, dear I Mr. Murray, how you frigh
tened me 1" exclaimed Nellio. "
" I might hive whistled but I feared my
fawn would fly away, so I come by stealth."
Sho was silting in a deep shade in a
grassy lane near where Harry was plowing,
and had been cxiecling him to como for
tho last half hour.
"How came you hero alone?" he a.ked.
"Well, Mr. Grafton just went up to tho
house, and 1 knew Mira would not leave,
so I slipped away to have a little fresh air.
It is not everybody who has leisure to do
his courting in tho forenoon."
Harry's brow clouded,
" Docs sho care fur him ?"
" Oh, ho is wealthy. Rich men marry
whom they please. If you had Grafton's
wealth he would bo no match against you."
" Do you think she withes our engage
ment broken ?"
" I think if sho was froo sho would marry
Grallon."
"Then I will rclcaso her."
Thoro was a look of triumph on Nellie's
face as she entered the house an hour laUr
anJ found Grafton still there. He itayed to
dinner, and Nellie took oeeatiun to whisper
to her ouusin i
"I don't wonder that Harry isjralmis. I
think ho wmild like to be free, but of aM
if I loved him I would hold on to my en
gagement." " I hardly think Harry it irei, but if
he i, a tut wUhf our eeiyagnitwut broken, I
will rWe him."
Harry did not eome to tho hotue for mv

She chose not to wear it lill away from her

Two weeks later she returned to the city,
aud Mira felt that she had taken the sun
shine out of her life. Harry no longer came
after Nellie's departure, and Mr. Grafton,
after a decided refusal, went away. Mira
received a note from Nellie, thanking her
for having decided iu favor of Mr. Grafton.
"For," she said," I loved Harry ot first sight
and would have been disappointed had you
left me to take up with your other admirer,
though I ogreed to tako your rejected."
Six months later she came into the neigh

WASHINGTON OX LOVE.
A LKTTKR Ttl MISS Cl'STIS, niS WARD.
B. J, Lossiug, ill an article in a Philadel
phia weekly, publishes a letter written in
January, 171)5, by George Washington to
Eleanor I'arke Cnstis.iiis wife's granddaugh
ter uml his own adopted daughter. Iu this
lie gives her the following advice on the
subject of love:
"Men and women feel tho same inclina
tion lo each other now that they always
have done, nnd which they will continue
to do until there is a now order of things,
and vuu, as others have done, may find per
haps that the passions of your sex are easier
r.iKed than allnvcil. Do not, therefore,
boast ton soon or too strongly of your insen
sibility to or resistance of its powers. In
the composition of the human frame there
is it good deal of inflammatory matter, how
ever dormant it may be for a time, and,
like nn intimate ucqiialntalutanco of yonrs
(a sister just mniried), when the torch is
j i t to il, that which is within you may
buret into a blaze ; for which reason, and
especially, too, as I have entered iim the
chapter of advices, I will read you a lec
ture drawn from this text.
"Love is said to bo an involuntary pas
sion, and it is therefore contended that it
cannot bo resisted. This is true in part only,
for, like all things else, when nourished
and supplied plentifully with nlimeul, it it
rapid in its progress ; but let these be with
drawn and it may bo stilled in its birth or
much stinted in its growth. For example,
a woman (tho same may be said of the
other sex) all beautiful and accomplished,
will, while her hand nnd heart are undis
posed of, luiii the heads and set the circle in
which sho moves on fire. Let her marry,
and what is the consequence? The mad
ness reuses, nn.l all is quiet again. Why?
Not brcausc there Is any diminution in the
charms of the lady, but becattso there is an
end of !n'ie. Hence it follows that loye
may uml therefore ought to be under th
guidance of leuson; for although wo can.
not avoid fiit impressions, wo may as
suredly place them under guard and my
motives for treating on this subject are to
thuw you, while you remain Eleanor Parke
Custis, spinster, and retain the resolution to
love with moderation, the propriety of ad
hering to tho hitter resolution, ut least until
you have secured your game and the way by
which it may bo accomplished.
"When tho fire is beginning to kindle and
your heait grows warm propound theso
questions to it : Who is the invader? Have
I a competent knowledge of him ? Is he a
man of good character, a man of sense?
For, be assured, a sensible woman can never
be happy with a fool. What hat been bit
walk in life; it he a gambler, a spendthrift
or a drnnkard f Is his fortune sufficient
to maintain me in the manner I have been
accustomed to live and my sisters do live?
And is he one to whom my friends can have
no reasonable objection? If these interrog
atories can be satisfactorily answered there
will remain but one more to be asked. That
however, is an important one. Have I suffi
cient ground to conclude that bis affectloni
aro engaged by me ? Without this the heart
of sensibility will struggle against a passion
that is not reciprocated delicacy, cuttom,
or call it by what epithet you will, having
precluded nil advances on your part.
"The declaration, without the most ind'
rect invitation of yours, must proceed from
the man to render it permanent and valua
ble, and nothing short of good sense and an
easy, unafiecUd conduct can draw the line
between prudery and coquetry. It would
bo no great departure from truth to say that
it rarely happens otherwise than that a tho.
rough-placed coquette dies in celibacy at a
punishment for her attempts to mislead
others, by encouraging looks, woidt, or ac
tion, given fur no otliei purpose than to
draw men nn to make overtures that they
may be rejected."
