FANCY AND FACT.
Queer fellows are the sons of song!
Not always literal truth they write;
Often they catch a strange, wild thought,
And chain it down in "black and white."
To range at will o'er hill and dale,
Unshackled must the poet be;
Stern logic would confine his limbs:
He must have elbow room, you see.
Fancy and Fact, we've heard of both,
Not quite alike, as all may know:
Fanny mounts high on eagle.' wings;
Fact plods along, quite sure—but slow!
And though so much unlike, yet still
They're linked by a mysterious chain:
Each is one form of mighty truth,
To gifted eyes, so bright awl plain.
Shall Matter say to godlike Mind
"I am the truth, and thou a lie?"
The beauties of the arch of Heaven
How can the sightless oyster spy"
And yet the lark, fin soaring wing,
Withjoyous heart, and flashing eye,
Her plumage bathed in morning light,
Flits meteor-like along the sky
Let sober Matter hold his place !
Grave and " conservative " is he:
But Mind may , range through boundless

FLORENCE'S BET.
"And so you have really and truly eN
Joyed this month iu the country, cousin
Clive?"
“I have indeed, Florence; and the only
thing that takes the sting from regret at
leaving the dear old place, is the thought
that you are to return with me, and that
I may try my utmost to make you enjoy
the next month as I have done this.”
"To introduce me into society, to bring
me out, I suppose?" said Florence. "But
don't you think I am rather old for that
sort of thing? I have seen twenty, cousin
Clive."
"Without one season in London, said
he; without one admirer save the clownish
young men of the neighborhood, without
a single offer of marriage, if I mistake not,
Floy. It is really shocking to bury your
beauty for so long in such a remote place
as this."
“As to offers of marriage, you are
wrong,” replied the youn g lady, laughing
ly. "I have been honored by two; one
from Mr. Sam Gregory, who with a great
deal of bashfulness and fidgeting about,
asked my consent to be Mrs. Sam, and the
other from the Reverend Westrop Deans,
a poor curate, who couldn't sound his h's.
I didn't wept eithet"..
Mt. Olive Hardinge lifted his hand with
a gesture of disgust, and shaking his head
replied dolefully: "Which i 4 will eventu
ally come to, perhaps, if you are not quick
ly out of this mediocre class into that
higher grade of society to which you are
entitled by birth and position. I am very
glad you are going to my mother for a
little time; for although there is not, my
dear cousin, a more perfect lady in all
London than you,. yet the constant com
panionship of this so-called upper clue
village might in time cause you to forget
that your superior birth precluded the
possibility of your ever choosing ahusband
from among the young men of the families
you are in the habit of visiting; for it
would ill beseem the blood of a Hardinge
to mate with one beneath her."
The hot blood flew up in a torrent to
therPs face as her cousin uttered these
words, for she knew that her mother had
been so considered to demean herself,
when, two and twenty years before, she dis
obeyed the commands of a stern parent,
and sterner brother, and proudly placing
her hand in the strong, warm grasp of a
man who had no sin against him but his
poverty, his ambitious day dreams, and his
love for her. she remembered how in his
obscure spot, they had eked out his mea
ger pittance; how the glorious productions
of art, that his imagination had vivified
into almost living creatures, had passed
away, and left the noble face drawn and
sad, the large, eloquent eyes that had
fought so bravely for them, a closed vol
ume of blindness and death. Then the
struggle for life, for existence, the long
years of su ff ering and sorrow of early life,
And subsequently the two hundred pounds
a year that some unknown relative dying,
left them.
She had never seen a single member of
her mother's family, until a month before,
when Clive Hardinge, son of that brother
who had sealed up his fathers heart
against his slater all the years of his life
came suddenly upon them in their quiet
country home, was struck with the refine
ment that pervaded the atmosphere in
which his aunt and cousin lived, and was
charmed with the rare grace and fresh
beauty of the young girl. He hastened to
create an amiable understanding between
his mother and Mrs. Lysle, which being
easily effected, as Mrs. Hardinge enter
tained no lbeling of resentment against a
woman she bad never seen, he suddenly
fancied that the cool breezes of Hillside
might have a beneficial influence upon his
town bred constitution; and therefore,
without much circumlocution, he gave a
broad hint to that effect. His aunt took
the hint and invited him. During his stay
he and Florence had been a great deal
thrown together, and with a constant
interchange of thought and opinions pass
ing *tweet them, grew in a month
pretty well to know and appteciate each
other.
Clive Hardin g° was neither handsome
nor young; but he possessed that which
End

PecOlaY, W 3 more in men than correct-
youth,--strength,
Five and thirty
years had rolled over his brown head, and
left the wavy hair still brown, and the
gray eyes undimmed in the lire of their
boyhood. He considered himself a mid
dle aged man now; and if any midsummer
day dream had ever tinged with a transient
brightness the even tenor of his life, it was
long since rolled up in the forgotten past.
He took an • interest in Florence, a deep
interest by reason of her beauty, her in
nocence and her unprotection. Man of
the world as he was, thoroughly under
standing all the ins and outs of society,
he felt that his cousin was no common
girl—that she was at once adapted to fill
a higher position than thty, in which she
had never yet moved. He took this in
terest to heart and acted rather vaguely
upon it.
In the pause that succeeded his last re
mark his keen discernment instantly de
tected the insult he had unintentionally
offered her, and with a slight embarrass
ment in his face, be bent forward and said
earnestly:
"Forgive me 'Ploy, do not misunder
stand my meaning. lam referring to
youthelf; you will be engaged before you
leave London. Mark my words."
TtpOlush died out of her face, and a
merry sparkle danced in her eyes as she
said, gaily, "What, in one month! My
good cousin, how quickly you are going
to dispose of me. Make no such rash
prophecy, thou oracle of evil."
"But I do," said Clive. "Let we bet
you a dozen pair of gloves that my pre
diction comes true."
"Against what?" she asked.
"Against a kiss," he replied.
"Sir, you surprise me!" said Florence.
"But you would lose your bet."
"If I lose I will pay," said he, "and if
you lose you must pay."
"But I shall not lose, cousin Clive,"
said Florence. "I am sure that none of
the gentlemen to whom you introduce me
will satisfy my fastidious taste."
"'Wait until you see them, my dear
child," said Clive. "You are very unso
phisticated. I only fear they will find too
easy ingress to that little untried heart of
yours."
She laughed a laugh that had a ring of
scorn in it, which made him look up with
a puzzled expression, as though he could
not quite fathom her, as she left the room.
Mrs. Ear'dale's saloons were crowded
witerfashlon, beauty and wealth. It was
her last *al of the season ;lad the most
brilliant she had given. Amongst the as
sembled ladies it was evident that one was
the centre of attraction, the dazzling star
around which the smaller stars ceased
to shine. She was quite surrounded by
gentlemen obtrusive in their attention and
tiresome in their flattery. She seemed to
feel it acutely, as she stood with heighten
ed color and disdainfhl lips, mutely in
their midst. She scareely lifted the curl
ing lashes from her dark eyes, or gave the
least movement to the hair that covered
her white shoulders like a golden veil.
She was perturbed and distressed, and
wanted to get away from them. All the
evening she had been herself merry and
gay, but her most careless glance had been
met by one almost passionate in its admir
ation, her laughing tones answered by the
mosefulsome flattery, that, angry with
herself and them—having aptly learned
in three short weeks to heartily despise
the hollow mockery of what the world
called pleasure—she now stood this last
hour in the ball room in anything but a
happy frame of mind. At last there was
a breakin the circle, and the low tones of
the vdtEries of fashion ceased for a mo
ment, as a young man of quiet gentleman
ly bearing made his way up to the young
`Miss Lysle," said he, "permit me to
conduct you to the conservatory. You
were speaking of—"
They had passed through the rooms,
and she turned to thank him for bringing
her away.
But where is Clive?" she asked.
"Are we not soon to go home? I am so
tireVireWdillie?"
of dancing, or of London dissi
pation, which?" he asked.
"Both," she replied. "I wouldn't live
hy.re for worlds, if Iliad to be dragged
about night after night like this."
"Then such a life has no charms for
you?"
"No, indeed," was the reply. "lam
disappointed in Clive Hardinge. I thought
him superior to such frivolity. He seems
to like it."
" There you mistake, Ploy," said her
companion. "It is society that courts
him, not him that courts society. As
you say, he is superior to it."
"Than, why does he go into itso much?"
she siskitd.
" kl*ls performing a sort of penance,"
was , VCreply, "and mixing in gaiety,
which he detests, for the sake of one whom
he caresfor much, to see if the pure gold
of spiritWity in her heart will stand the
test of the scheming world."
She looked up in the dark eyes of Clive's
dearest frond, but beyond the smile upon
the lips, and the slight pressure of her
hand upon , his arm she could read nothing.
I i am going home in five days," she
said, as they passed through the rooms.
" Are you sorry or glad?" he asked.
" I shall be glad, to see my mother
again, but shall be sorry to leasie
aunt, she has been so kind to me—and
cousin Clive."
"He is rather old, don't you think,
Floy? something the old bachelor about
him—too old to marry, in tact."
"Who—Clive?" she said. "He is not
old, is he? I never noticed it. His hair
is not gray 40 his rime is not wrinkled.

" Trolodeattle, Ploy? You style' have put
on love's spectacles, surely; friend as he
is, I could never call him handsome 3ret."
"Don't talk nonsence, Willie," said Flo
rence, pettishly. " I repeat, Clive Har
dinge is handsome. ' he has more strength,
might and majesty in his countenance
than a dozen ordinary men. Here he
comes, now judge for yourself."
If a weary look and pale face denoted a
handsome physique, Clive Hardinge cer
tainly possessed it at that moment. He
came forward to Florence.
" Would you like to go now?" he said,
kindly; " my mother is already cloaked,
and waiting for the carriage."
She quietly took his proffered arm, and
extending her hand to Clive's friend bade
him good night.
* * * * *
. Miss Lysle sat at her work in her aunts
morning room, the day before her depar
ture home. The blue cashmere robe she
wore suited well the purity of her com
plexion, and the rich curls of glittering
hair. She looked marvelously pretty, and
so thought Clive liardinge, as he mado it
his special business to visit the room that
morning. But her eyelashes were wet;
she looked as if she bad been-shedding a
tear or two, silently there to herself; and
perhaps the softness and tenderness in her
face made het appear more beautiful still.
Clive carried a long narrow box in his
hand, of blue enamel and gilt, and placed
it under her eyes.
" The bet, Florence," said he. " Have
you forgotten it? You have won it quite
fairly—or will have done so to-morrow,
for there remains yet one more day before
the month is completed. Now will you
tell me why you have so coldly declined
the two offers of marriage you have been
honored with sines your stay with us?"
" I did not feel myself honored," she
replied. " One was from a spendthrift and
dehauchee; the other from a brainless fop,
who possessed but one idea in the world
—that of admiring his own figum."
" But you have repelled admiration so
persistently," said Clive. " Others, who
certainly admired you, would—"
" Thank you, cousin Clive, for the bet."
" May I look?" interrupted Florence, as
she put out her hand for the box.
"Certainly, not, until to-morrow, then
you may weartheprettiest pair of gloves
the box contains, i f you like; and when
you are gone perhaps I shall be able to
get back my rest again, and my appetite.
You have robbed me of both since you
have been here."
" Cousin Clive!"
“ I say you have robbed me of both,”
repeated Clive. " Before I saw you I was
able to eat like any other ordinary mortal;
but now the dazzling things at the table
are not the plate and crystal, but a pair of
snowy hands that keep moving up and
down and mesmerize my eyes to look at
them. Before you came I could sleep
soundly enough at night, and wake re
freshed in the morning; but now my
dreams are, wild and ftwerish, of bewilder
ing eyes and glittering golden hair, and
one ethereal form that comes between me
and alumbe r. 11
“Please don't cousin Clive,” said Plo
rffiCe.
" But I will," said he. " Oh, you shall
fairly win your bet, my little Floy. lam
a cross old bachelor cousin; but for all
that I mean to tell you that I love you
with all my heart and soul."
" Iler head dropped down suddenly, and
the long hair fell over her hot cheeks, and
her hands trembled and clasped themselves
together on her lap.
There was a painful pause, and when
Florence dared to lift her eyes she saw
Clive Harding's face buried in his folded
arms, quiet and still. She rose hesitating
ly, and then went up to him, placing one
soft hand on his hair, while with the other
she extended the unopened box.
" I don't want your gloves, cousin
Clive," she said.
"Why not?" he asked with white lips.
" Because I have lost my bet,” she re
plied, turning away her shy face.
" Florence—my darling Floy, have I
won it?" rapturously starting up and
catching her hand.
"Yee, and me too," she murmered, as
she lifted her blushing face to his, and his
arms closed around her in a tight embrace.
The Hon. Jacob. Thompson, of Missis
sippi, recently made a speech to his neigh
bors at Oxford, in that State, on his return
from Europe. He took rather a hopeful
and cheerful view of the situation. The
people of the South had attempted by force
of arms to set up and maintain a separate
Government and had failed. It was
now their duty to accept the result of
that failure in good faith; to struggle
with a hearty good will to build up the
waste places, and thus secure prosperity
and plenty to the people. Mr. Thompson
said:
In all ages the God of battles has made
some curious and inexplicable decisions.
But it is not for us to find out the reasons
which controlled Him. It is ours only
to obey the decision, because from it there
is no appeal. In the late war the power
of arms decided that we. should remain
one people t now indihrover. The God of
battles decided the case in favor of Union.
Now the true Christian mast justify the
ways of God to man '
' and therefore he
must say it was wisest and best that the
case should be so decided. From this
position a duty is devolved uport every
man. Each individual is bound to con
tribute his mite to make this people a
great pee*, strong, happy, prosperous
an glorious.

The Secretary was called from his bed

He found a queer, long-sided man, about
six feet high, with a little apple head, as

" Well, my friend, what situation do
you wish?"

" Why, I'm not very particular, but,
somehow or other, I think I should like
to be a Minister. I don't mean of the
gospel, but one of them ministers to
