Adelaide. " Why, even if it Should prove

the street to make their • acquaintance.
Not that I have ..anything against them

Unole's words to us, ' You are 'never to,

"No, Mabel," she 'continued;

just now is, to get out of this disreputa

What could have induccd'the dressmaker
to move in this direction, I cannot ima

"High rents, ' , suppose," said Mabel.
"I admit," she continued, returning to
the subject so near her heart, " that
there was a groat deal said on both sides
that was wrong; but uncle's heart is not
stool now, whatever it was five years ago.
I do not belieire a day passes that he does

quite sure that Herbert's desire for a re•

a sarcastic tone.

%Den they left the dressmaker's, Mabel

"You will .find that, even by wearing
old trimmings, yenr funds will hardly
suffice to cover the heads and feet of all
tho beggars ip this city; but, damn a

, Mabel smiled, and turned in an oppo•
site direction. The result of her visit,
on returning home, was made known
only to Mrs,' Forsyth, who had been
hoesokeoper in the family for thirty i
years. A half hour a ft erward, wiie6 69,1

Mabel, seated on a low chair ' in front ,of

while her hands, clasping and unclasping
each other, betrayed unusual nervous

..; She suddenly turnod and gazed at her
uncle, whom she found intently regarding
her.

Adelaide gave a questioning glance
toward her sister, then arose and lett the
room.
Mabel arose, arid leaning on her uncle's
shoulder, said, "To•morrow is your birth•

at the same timo putting his arm around

A x£.ollo min last week ran away with
a white girl named Mattio C. Wood, aged
thirteen" yeses, and living in Campbell
county, Virginia. A party, headed by
the brother of the girl, started in pursuit
and captured the couple about forty miles
from the place of abduction. The negro
was arrested and taken back to Campbell
for trial, andihe girl restored to her pa•
rents. She declares that she was forced
to accompany her abductor under the
most dieadful threats of instant death,
if she should refusp or give any alarm
which should lead tOliis discovery. The
'rascal is about fifty years of age, and has
a wife and six children living on Mr.
Wood's farm.
WALKING HORNE&
The best gait a horso over had for
every day use is a good walk. It is a
gait that not one in ton possesses. Colts
are, trained to trot in all the Eastern
States. 'Young America wants more
tspeed. j Kentucky has more goodlwalk;,
lag horses than any other State, 'for
there horseback travel has been the fash: ,
ion for both men and women, over ,n
country where muddy roads, at times,
renders any other gait . impossible, and so'
horses have been bred for the saddle and
trained to a walking gait. .„
This is also the' ease iu all the Western,
States, mid perhaps might. have been so
in Now England when our grandmothers
rode to meeting on a pillion behind oar
grandfathers. - But ono-horso wagons

Brownlow. Admittance being denied to
