Yet not the virgin soil could gain His willing love nr claim his pride: True to his land of mist and rain, "A loyal Englishinanne." he died.

"Well, this is rather purer than Lon don air," sighed Lem nox, drawing a deep breath of delight as he hastened up the green lane to the wide, old-fashioned farm house, carrying his valise in his hand. "I wonder if Mary got my note, and is looking fer me? rialto!". The last exclamation was drawn from Mr. Bay's lips by a big ripe cherry, which, descending from above him, cone into sudden contact with his nose. Ile looked np, and there, perched like a great bird upon the bough of a cherry tree; and looking down ut him with dancing eye and brilliant cheeks, was a:yo. n o g girl. pretty and willful enongh to set is man crazy." E===t "flow dorm do, Lennox ? Come up and have some cherries!" was the mischievonA greeting,with saucy dimples playing about her ripe lips. "Mary, is it possible ?" exclaimed Len nox, serenely. "What ! that the cherries are ripe ? Yes, and splendid, too. Have some ?" return ed the nymph; cooly bolding out a great ruby cluster. "Mary.will you come down from there ?'. said Mr. Ray, not seeming to notice the cherries. '" "Yes, to be sure, now you've come, and I have had all the cherries I wanted." And While Mr. looked on in stern disapproval, tho young witch swung her self lightly down from her perch and lit on the grass at his feet. "Now, don't look so serious, Lennin, dear," she said, slapping her little hands into his with a coaxing motion. "1 know it's tomboyish to climb the cherry trees, but then it's rich fun." • "Mary, you should have lren a boy," said Lennox. "I visa shad! Then I wouldn't have everybody scolding me if I happened to more„ No I don't either, fur then you wouldn't have fallen in love with me.— What made you, any way, my dear ?" she said, with a fond glance and a caressing movement -Because you are a sweet darling," an swered Mr. Ray, melted in spite of him self. "But Ido wish, Mary, von would leave off"these boyish ways anti be more dignified." "lake Miss Ishman ?" asked Mary. "Miss Ishman is a very superior woman, and it would not hurt yoa to copy her, in some respects," said Lennox, Coldly. ' The tears.sprang into Mary's eyes at his tone; she loosened her arms from his and, dropping down neon the emerald grass at his feet, began to braid a brace let of the long blades in silence, with a grieved expression around her sweet mouth which he did not see. "There l'".cried Len nox.pettishly. "Now you look more like a five-near-old baby than a well-bred young lady." Mary . threw away her bracelet and got up again. "I didn't mean to vex you; shall we go in ?" she said, sadly. - They went into the parlor,and Mr. Ray took a•seat in the great armchair while Mary flung open the window and dropped down on her knees beside it, lotting her glossy curls fall in a great shower on the widow sill. "Now, don't do that !" exclaimed Mr. Ray, drawing a chair near- his own.— "Dome here and sit down like a rational being." ' "I wish yen would put up those fly- - away curls,'. .said- Mr. .Ray. "And see here, Mary, I Want to talk with you. You know I love you, but, in truth, my dear, wife must have some of the elegance of refined society: Your manners need polish, my dear.

In short, dear, Poetry. "TRUTH AND RIGHT 1 GOD AND OUR COUNTRY." MONTROSE, PA., WEDNESDAY, 3 . 11.14 Y 9, 1873. I came down to tell you that my sister is making up a party to visit some watering place this summer, and I wish you to ac cept the invitation, Mary." "Are you going?" asked Mary. "No; my practice will not allow it.— But tithe!! see you nevem' times. You will "Oh, Lennox, don't make me I" sobbed nary, hiding her face on his shoulders, as a vision of his stylish and haughty sis ter rose before her. "I don't want to go! I hate fashionable society! I don't want to be polished! I'd rather stay here is the country, and not wear any bonnet, and climb cherry trees every day!" "Mary, I am surprised at this display of childishness!" I must insist upon more solfcontrol," be said coolly. "But di - et send me away ! don't Len nox !" "I must!" be returned, but more gent ly, softened a little hy,her agitated eager ness. "It is for your good, and you must consent to go.' "Will you ?" The supper bell rang ut that instant, and, anxious to escape before the rest of the family came in and saw her in tears, Mary hastily answered, "Yes, let me go, Lennox," and ran out of the room and up steirs to her own chamber. They were at supper before she came down again, with smooth curls and no trace of tears, bet with a bright light in her brown eyes. and a firm look on her pretty face, and as she went through the hall out to the vine-shaded porch, where the tea-table was, she murmured, "Yea, I'll go! And I'll teach you one lesson, Mr. Lennox Ray; see if I don't." It was Lennox Ray'a intention to join his sister's party in July. but his law busi ness prevented him. When Mary receiv ed the letter expressing his regrets, she only smiled and said to herself, "All the better. I shall have time to learn my lesson more thoroughly before September Mr. Lennox Ray." It was nearly the middle of September before Mr. Ray, heated, dusty and weary, entered his room at the Scarborough Ho tel, where his sister's party was stop ping. "Dear little Mary," he said, as he made a earful toilet before - going down stairs. "I mu dying to see her, and I know shell be glad to see me. A moment of her sweet naturalness will be quite refreshing after all these artificial women. They. don't know I've come,so I'll just go down and surprise them." As lie entered the apartment amid the flash of jewels and rustle of silks and laces, he met his sister Laura. "Lennox! you here ?" she said, giving him two white hands. =ii "She was I m the terrace talking to a French count a moment ago. Ah ! there she Is at the door." "Ah !" said Lenox, dropping Lanra's hand and making his way towards the door. But it was difficult even when he drew near her to see in the stylish, stately lady, whose hair put up over a monstrous chignon, and whose lustrous robes swept over the floor for a yard, his own little Mary of the months ago. Lennox strode np with scarcely a glance at the bewhiskered dandy to whom she was chatting, and held out his hand with an eager exclamation, "Mary I" She made a sweeping courtesy, and languidly extended the tips of her lingers; but not a muscle moved beyond what ac corded with well-bred itdifference. "Ali! good evening, Mr. Ray." "Oh, Mary, are you glad to see me?" said Lennox, feeling his heart chilling within him. "Oh, to be sore, Mr. Ray. quite glad. Allow me to present Count delleaurepaire, Mr. Ray, Monsieur." Lennox hardly deigned to how to the Frenchman, and offered his arm to her. "Thanks, but the music is beginning, and I promised to dance with Mr. Blair." "But afterward ?" said Lennox, the chill growing colder. 'Thanks again, but I am engaged to Captain Thornton." "When, then ?" demanded Lennox, with a jealous pang. 'Ah, really, my card is so full that hardly know. I will try to spare you a waltz somewhere," with an indifferent glance. Lennox beat down and spoke, with bitter reproach in his tone, "Good lieav ens, Mary : What affectation is this ?" She favored him with a well-bred stare. And taking the arm of her escort, she walked away wish the air of an empress. Lennox sought his sister. "Laura, how hare you changed Mary so ?" he demanded. "Yes, she is changed ; greatly improved. Isn't she perfect?" "Perfect,? Rather ton perfect to suit 4me." "To-morrow I shall see more of Mary," he thought. Bid to-morrow, and to-morrow it was always the same, and "that elegant Miss Irving," as they styled her, was always in demand. She played the role of an as lady and gay-hearted coquette to perfection ; and poor Lennos,from the distance in which she kept him, looked on almost broken hearted, varying be tween wrath, jealousy, pride and de spair. "Mary, said he, ono morning, when he found her alone, "how long is this to last ?" "How long is what to last?" asked Mary, innocently. "How long are you going to remain the conventional creature you are?" "I believe you wished me to come here to improve my manners, Mr. Ray ; to ac quire the elegance of society," she mid, ' "But Mary." '•Your sister thinks I have been an apt pupil,' "Yea, too apt; too apt entirely!" eried Lennox. "Well, if you are not pleased with the result of your own advice, I em not to blame. You must excuse me, Mr. Ray. I am going to ride With Count de Beau repave. And with her sweetest, hollow smile, she made a graceful gesture of adieu,and left him sick at heart, pusaled and die= gusted. That afternoon, as Laura and Mary were about dressing for the evening; Len nox walked, unannounced, into Laura's little parlor, where they sat alone. "I thought I'd drop in and say good bye before you went down stairs," said he. "I leave for London to-night." Laura elevated her eyebrows a little. "Sudden, isn't it P But since you are going I will give you some commissions." "You needn't. I shall may stay in town fora day." "Indeed 1 Where are you going ?" "Oh, I don't know," was the savage re- Laura gave him a look of cold stir pri sc. "At least you will take a note to Geo. for me." "Yes, iryou get it ready," said he ungm cionly. "Very well ; I will write it now." Laura went to her room, Lennox. stood moodily at a window. Presently Mary, who had not spoken one word, came and stood near him. "Are yon really going away ?" she asked. . "Yes, I am," was the short answer. "Anil won't you tell me where ?" "I don't know myself—neither kaow nor care," he growled. She slipped her hand into his arm with the old caressing movement he remember ed so well, and spoke so gentle, using his name for the first time since he Caine. "But, Lennox dear, if you go away off somewhere, what shall I do ?" He turned suddenly and caught her to his heart. "Oh, Mary, Mary!" cried he passion ately, "if you would only come back to me and lore me; if I could recover my lost treasure I would not go anywhere. Oh, my lost love, is it too late r She laid her face down against hie shoulder and asked : "Lennox, dear, tell me which you love best, the Mary you used to know, or the fashionable young lady you found here?" "Oh, Mary darling!" he cried, clasping he r closer, "I wouldn't give one precious toss of your old brown curls for all the fashionable young ladies in the world.— I wouldn't give one careless ring of your merry laugh for all the'polished ladies in society. r wouldn't." Mary laid her arms caressingly around his neck, and said softly, "Then I think you will have to take your old Mary back again, and pet her and love her as- you used to do, for 1 am sick and tired of the fashionable young lady :as you call be, Lennox, dear:' And Lennox, passionately clasped her to 'inn, begged to be forgiven, and vowed he would not exchange his precious little wild rose for all the hot-house flowert in Clirieendntn. "Lam!" Lennox called, tapping on Lao ni's door a Jlttle later. "Wt . 11." ansn•ered Laura. "Yon needn't write your note. I shan't go to town to-night." "Lennox. I never saw such a fellow for fancies," cried Laura. "Are you cra zy ?" "No, I have .been, but I am coming to my senses," said Lennox. Lennox and Mary have been sedate married people many years, but I never heard that L•nuox complained in the heist of his wife's want of conventionality or even wished to pursue the acquaintance of the fashionable lady whom he met at Scarborough. A TERRIBLE REAL STORY. Nine days after a storm in the Gulf of Mexico, a traveler, finding his way from the salt-pans of Western Louisiana took a little fishing craft. There was that fresh purity in the air and the sea which fol lows the bursting of the elements. The numerous bays and keys that indent the shore look fresher and brighter, and there was that repenteut .beauty in Nature which aims to soothe us into forgetfulness of his recent angry passions. The white winged sea-birds flew about, and tall wa ter-fowl stood silently over their shadows like a picture above and below. The wa ter sparkled with salt freshness, and the roving winds sat in the shoulder of the gait, resting and riding to port. The little bark slipped along the shores and shadows, and in and out by key and inlet, seeing its shadow on the pore white sand that seemed so near its keel. The last vestige of the storm was gone, and the little. Gulf world seemed fresher and gladder for it. The tropical green grasses and water plants hang their long, linear, hairlike sheaths in graceful curves, and patches of willow palm and palmetto, in many an intricate curve and involution, made a labyrinth of verdure. The wild loveliness of the numerous slips and chan nels, where never a boat seemed to have sailed since the Indian's water-logged ca noe was tossed on the shadowy banks,was enhanced by the vision of distant ships, their sails even with the water, or broken by the white buildings of a sleepy plan tation in its bower of fig and olive and tall moss•clustercd pines. Suddenly the traveller fancied he beard a cry, but the fishermen said no—it was the scream of water-fowl or the shrill call of an eagle far above dropping down from the blue zenith ; and they sailed on. Again he heard the distant cry, and was told of the panther in the brad:l,mA wild birds that drummed and called with al most human intonation; and they tilled on again. But again the mysterious, troubled cry arose from the labyrinth of green, and the traveler entreated them to go in quest of it. The fishers had their freight for the market, delay would deter iorate its value; but the anxiaus traveler bade them put about and be would bear the loss. It was well they did. There, in the dense coverts of the sea swamps,amid the blackish water-growths and grasses, they found a man and woman, ragged, torn starved. ror nine days they had had no food but the soft pith of the palmetto, mar s° mussels, or scant poisonous bet , ries, their bed tbo damp inorase,ane their drink the brackish water; and they told the wild and terrible story of Last Is land. Last Island,was the Saratoga and Long Brand of the South of the souther& most watering place in thesGult Situat- ed on a fertile coral island enriched by in• numerable flocks of wild fowl, art had brought its wealth of fruit and flowers to perfection. The cocoanut-palm i date palm, and orange orchards contrasted their rich foliage in the sun-shine with the pine-apple, banana, and the rich soft turf of the mesquit-giass. The air - was fragrant with magnolia and orange blur= the gardens glittering with the burning beauty of tropical flowers, jessamine thickets, and voluptuous grape arbors,the golden winelike sun pouring an intoxica ting balm over it; graceful white cottages festooned with vines, with curving chalet or Chinese roofs colored red, pinnacled arbors and shadowy retreats of espaliers pretty as a coral grove; and a fair shin ing hotel in the midst, with arcades and porches and galleries—the very dream of ease and luxury, as delicate and Prim as if made of cut paper in many forms of rettishnesa Here was then the nabob's retreat in this balmy garden of delight all that luxury, art, and voluptuous des ire could hint or hope for was collected; and nothing harsh or poor or rugged jarred the fulness of its luxurious ease. Ten nights before, its fragrant atmos phere was broken into beautiful ripples by the clang and harmony of dancing music. It was the night of the "hop." The hotel :was crowded. Yachts and pleasure vessels pretty as the petals of a flower tossed en the water, or as graceful shells banked the shores • and the steam er at twilight came breathing short, ex cited breath with the last relay, for it was the height of the summer season. In their light, airy dresses, as the music swam and sung, bright-eyed girls floated in graceful waltzes down the voluptuous waves of sound, and the gleam of light and color was like a butterfly's' balL— The queenly, lneoustas night sank deep er, and lovers strolled in lamp lighted arcades, and dreamed and hoped of life like that., the fairy existence of love and peace ; and so till, tired of play,sleep and rest came in the small hours. flush 1 811 at once came the storm, not, as in northern latitudes, with pre monitory murmur and fretting, lathing itself by slow degrees into white heat and rain, but. the storm of the tropics, carry ing the sea on its broad, angry shoulders, till, reaching the verdurous, love-cluster ed little isle, it flung the bulk of waters with all its huge, brawny force right up on the cut paper prettinesses, and broke them into sand and splinters. Of all those pretty children with blue and with opalescent eyes,arrayed like flowers of the field; of all those lovers dreaming of love in summer dalliance,and of cottages among figs and olives; of all he vigorous manhood and ripe womanhood, with all the skill and courage of successful life in them,—nut a tithe was saved. The ghastly maw of the waters covered them sad swallowed them. A. few sprang among crashing timbers, on a Oporlaiden with impetuous water—the Many per haps never waked at all, or woke to but one short prayer. The few who were saved hardly knew how they were saved —the many who died never knew how they were slain or drowned. It. has twice been my fortune in life to see such a storm, and to know its sadden de,struction ; once, to see a low, bread, shelving farrn house disappear to the ground timbers before my eyes, as if its substance had vanished into air, while great globes of electric fire burst down and sunk into the ground; once, to see a pine forest of centuries' growth cut down as grass by the mower's scythe. Ido not think it possible.to see a third and sur vive, and Ido not wish my soul to be whirled away in the vortex of such a storm. At noon or later, after the ruin of Last Island, a gentleman of a name renowned in Southern story found himself clinging to a bush in the wild waters, lashed by the long whips of branches, half dead with fatigue and fear. For a time the hurly-burly blinded and hid everything, and the long roll rocked and tore at him in desperate endeavor to wrench loose his bleeding fingers. Tha impulse of the wind and storm at such a time is as of a solid body, and there is a look of solidity in the very appearance of the magnificent force. But as it abated he- thought he heard a faint cry, and looking around he saw a poor girl in the ribbons et. her, nightdress clinging to a branch, and alip ping from her feeble hold. Tired as he was, and wild and dangerous as the at tempt might, be, he did not dare to leave her to perish. Choosing his time in a lull, he struck out to the bush : and reach ed it just as her ebbing strength gave way. He took her in his sturdy arms, and, clinging with tooth and nail, stayed them both to their strange ancharage.— Faint, half conscious, disrobed as she was in the sweet, delicate features, the curve of, the lip, and the raven tresses clothed in seaweed, he recognized the Creole belle of last night's hop. He cheered and en couraged her, pointing out that the storm was abating. It could not be long until search-boats came, and while he had strength to live she should share it. It proved true. Generous and hardy fishers and ships had come at to the scene of dims ter, and were busy picking up the few spared by wind and wave. They found the two clinging together, and to that slight bush, and took themoff. wrapping them in ready, rough fishermen's coats.— The reader can see the end of that story. A meeting so appointed had its predestin ed end in stove match. So weleave it and them; the rest of their lives belengs to them, not to us. The pair found out by our fishing smack were a wealthy planter and hid wife. For nine days of starvation and danger they had Ching together. When I think of the husband's manly care in thus abiding by the wife, I find it hard to reconcile it ° with the fact that he only valued his 1 ife and her's at a feWdollars— not enough_ to compensate tbo traveler, for the loss incurred as demurrage to the , fishermen. Mow Last Island is but a • low,sandy reef, on which a few straggling fruit treed try to keep the remembrance of its by gone beauty. It is as bate and desolate tui the bones of those who filled its balls in the cataclysm of that dreadful night— , bones which no* waste to whiteness on stet de shores or are wrought into coral in the undemeto - ' Terms 1 ino DOULAiIIi PERMS 111 AIIllrA OE oir PAID IN ADVANCE, So catii: Thts BY GEORGE A OREEYERi -D.

We would buy a cat, and have it around for a feir days; and we would place it out in the yard, on a given n 4 ght, before retiring. In the morning ' that animal would always have; disappear ed. And none of them ever came back! We regarded it as a somewhat singular coincidence that the man who lives just back of ns always had fireworks on the very nights that our cats disappeared.— Reflecting upon this circumstance, we purchased our one hundred and sixty fourth cat—a tortoise shell—and deter, mined to watch het. Vs placed her out in the yard a few nights ago, - and obsery ed her from the kitchen door. The tor toise shell frisked about for a while and ground out a few melodious screeches.— Then she jumped upon the fence for the purpose of making acquaintances. While there, we perceived the man in the rear yard wipe that cat suddenly oft the fence into a bag. Then that scoundrel tied a string to the tail of the tortoise shell and. affixed the other end ''of the coed to a sky-rocket. Ile then lit a match, and in about a minute that animal was shish. ing around among the -stars without a hair on her. body, We observed ; where the rocket fell. We went out and climbed that fence early next morning, and there lay one hundred 'and elity-four 'rocket sacks ; each with a hinged cat tied to it with a string! Now. we know' why we missed our pets ; and if we do not souse down on that fire-works man with the Society for the PreVention of Cruelty, to Animals, it will be because that organita , Lion id hopelessly-demoralized. A Barnett jury dosen't oonsider it an act of impropriety for a sehooluiaster to kiss a cook, it the cook dosen't object. A Mr. Royston was recently engaged in school in one of the southern counties of England at a salary of $3OO a :year, and was discharged without 'notice orally just or reasonable cause and he sought to re cover damages in one of the civil conga. It was alleged in defence that one.of the causes of the dismissal was that Mr. Roy ston had kissed the cook. The plaintiff, however, denied having -positively, hissed the cook, but admitted that he tried Lode so in the pantry,before the other servants. There was no secret about it; but his empleyer said "he did not think . a manof good character wand try to Itiss a cobk,", and thereupon he dismssedsthe poor ped agogue. The jury, however; saw' not in the kissing of a cook the evidence of. a bad.character. and with - British . gallantry gave the defendant's verdict, Saying there was nothing to justify-his dismissal. In, fact, they rather lookedwith 'extra feet; lug on the dismissed tutof, for they not only - awarded him his threenienths Bala= ry, in lieu of totace,--lit also 015 he had green to an agent tei obtain another situ-. ation, , , Ix, olden times; an essential part of 'a bride's Outfit wag sand for sconfidg her' kitchen implinsents.
