'Oh they are faded you shall hove

in aad tone.
'Forget you, Earnest!' replied tho fair
girl, quickly; 'oh never.'

he auswered.'
But time flies, and the long shadows of
the trees tell mo that I must depart.'
'So soon, Earnest,' said Carrio Ar
mand, sadly. 'But will you not some
times think of Avondale?' 'Aud of thee,
Carrie,"interrupted her companion.
''Ye?; never thali I forget the blissful
hours that I have passed in this quiet
valley, and whereever I go, the vision of
a'beauteous face will ever haunt me.
Farewell, Carrie.''
He took her hand held it between his
own; and gazed earnestly upon that sweet
face and downcast eyes.
'Farewell,' murmured the young girl,
in a voico barely audible.
'Adieu, sweet Avondale. Shall I nev
er again listen to tho music of thy purling
streams, or Hngcr-'bcneath the shade of
tkese old trees?'
He pressed the little hand fervently to
bis lips, and the next moment he was
gone.
s Carrie Armand sank down upon the
earth: and burst into a flood of passionate
tears. -
Whatcared she for the music of the
birds; or the rustling of the winds around
ierl She without confessing or receiv
ing the avowal of love that dwelt in te
hearts of both. Gone perhaps, for ever!
The sun had loDg since sunk to rest,
and the shades of night were falling, ere
she rose from that damp earth, and pur
sued her way homeward. Earnest waa
.gone; and her bngut ana blissiul uream
was over!
In the splendid dressing room of a city

awake her from a reverie. She lifts her
bend.
We have seen that sunny face before,
on a bright autumn day, in the old
woods of Avondalc. She is arrayed in
no costly vcl vents or pparkliug jewels;
but a garment of gossamer floats about
her form, and wreathes of bright leaves
and snow buds is twined amid her gelden
curls.
She is as beautiful, as clildlikc as ever;

'How beautiful you are, sweet cousin?'
said she, as she gnzed upon the dazzling
loveliness of Ida Macauly.
The young creature turned from the
gilded mirror, and twining her arms a
bout the. speaker, pressed a kisa upon her
stainless brow.
'Darling Carrie,' she murmured
, 'fly
witching loveliness will win all
hearts to-
for even Clifton Macauley, my
haughty, fastidious brother ha.i owned its
power and he loves thee, Carrie, my
swoet, wild flower! loves thee, with a de
votion of tthieh I thought his cold nature
incapable.'
'Ob! say not so, dear Ida,' gasped Car
rie Armand. 'I can never be nught to
him.'
Ida Macauley marked not the blanch
ed cheek of the trembling girl to whom
she was so gaily speaking, but throwing .
her neh furs around, they descended to
the drawing-room, where Clifton waa a
waiting them.
They entered the carriage Tho
blinds were closely drawn to exclude tho
frosty air, and they rolled away, to sec a
scene of mirth and revelry.
The magnificent rooms of Mr. Crafton
presented an appearance of uuusual gaie-
ty and elcgatfce. J' very part of the vast
apartments was bathed, as it were, in a
flood of roseate splendor. A band of
music poured forth continued strains of
the most enchanting harmony: and tbo
air was laden with the incense of a thou
sand flowers of every hue.
The dancing had ceased for a moment,
as Clifton with bis sister and Carrie Ar
mand entered the saloon.
Every eye wa3 turned upon them, but
the reigniug belle of the last two seasons
passed unnoticed, as her cousin moved
gracefully along.
Who is she? who is she?' passed from
lip to 11 pi
'Beautiful! divine!' whi.'percd the gen
tlemen. The flu?b upon the young girl's cheek '
deepened as these praises fell upon her
ear, and with downcast eyes passed on
to the upper saloon. The musio again
sounded, and the floor was rapidly filled
with dancersj
Suddenly a familiar voice attracted her
attention. She turned and beheld. Ida
led away to join the dancers. The.band
btruck up one of Struos' most inspiring
waltzes;
Hound and round floated tbo-charmed
circle and Carrie beheld tho queen-like
form of Ida encircled by the arm of Ear
nest Fairfax! Her breath fanned his
cheek, aud his dark eyes were bent upon
that face radient with its own beauty.
Poor Carrie! a faintuess came over her as
she gazed.
Yet what was Earnest Fairfax to her?
May be she was entirely forgotten. She
raised her head proudly, and smiling on
Clifton Maccauley, she suffered him to
draw her gently among the waltzers.
Many were the eyes that followed that
form, for the soft enchanting grace with
which she moved, fascinated the behold
er. Faster played the music. Faster trip
ped the fairy feet. Tho dancers almost
flew. Carrie saw that Ida and her partner
had withdrawn from the floor and were
standing in the recess of a deep window.
She felt that his eyes were upon her, and
a thrill of joy pervaded her'frame.
Iiike a Peri she moved she scarcely
touohed the floor. At last the musio
ceased. Clifton led her to a divan, and
seating himself beside her, fanned her
flushed brow.
'Carrie,' said a .sweet voice.. She
looked jup. There stood I,da, and by her
side was Earnest Fairfax, his, beautiful
dark eyes bent full upon her face.
'Misa Armand, Mr. Fairfax, said Ida,
in ber easy careless m sneer.
'Carrie,' said that well remembered
voice, and the half extended hand was
warmly grasped and retained.
Earnest,' murmured tho sweet girl.
She replied not, and he continued.

now, long years before, they had stood
beneath the old sycatnore; on that bright
autumn day, when tho sun shone, and
the winds gently kissed the leaves. How
ho placed in his bosom her parting gift,
that he had since guarded so graciously.
Sleep on, ewcet one. May tho angels
guard thy slumbers.
The last rays of the setting sun are
streaming with all their effulgence thro'
the stained windows of the little chapel of
Avondalc, and resting lovingly upon the
sunny tresses of the fair being at the al
tar. Her white vail floats like a mist a
round her form, clad in snowy robes, and
the bright wreaths of autumn leaves have
given place to dewy orange blossoms.
By her side is a noble and familiar fig
ure, and he meets the love look of those
gentlo eyes with joy unutterable. Holy
words hover upon the tongue of the white-
robed pricft, soft responces come from
the lips of thoso to whom he has spoken,
and sweet Carrio Armand, the lilly of A

Matrimonial Bliss.
"It is folly for girls to expect to be hap-
py without marriage. Every woman was
made for a mother; consequently, chil-

as- health is. If you wish to behold mel
ancloly and indigestion, look at an old
, maid; if you would take a peep at sun
shine, look in the face of a young moth

"Now I wont stand that." replied my
aunt, "I'm an old maid myself, and neith-
j er melancholy nor indigestible. My
peace of mind I'm going to give you in a
minute. I never would touch a baby

his grandmother instead of the little Ma-

Yes, my mind is quite made up in regard
to matrimony. But as to babes some
times I think, and then again I don't
, know on the wholo, I consider them a de
icided humbug. It is a one-sided part

roll, an egg, and a cup of coffee; gets in

the pretty girls, and makes love between
the pauses of business in the afternoon.

Tit For.Tat.-t There., was recently a
duel at Nopoleon, Ark., .between a doc
tor aud a tailor, in which tbo doctor shot
the tailor in the leg, and the lattcr's ball
went through the lower extremity of the

ROBBING A PEACH ORCHARD. fvefy delightful treat on the luscious fruit
In a newly settled town out west, there 1 which one of the trespassers was shaking
resided, no more than three years ago, on from the tree into which ho had climbed,
old farmer, who was notorious for bisj "Stolen , kisses are sweet, and so are the
penury, and bis dipoition for saving and .stolen peaches, I should judge," muttered
turning everything into money. At the. Ned llarvey, an he crept ifeaftnily tow-
time at which, our story commonces. old ards 'Wis companions along by the fence,
deacon ,Newqbnib was the only. man inj
the vicinity who raised peachos, which!
wsre a very scarce article, owing to the
newness ot the country. It so happened
, that, the deacon had an abundance of
, have-a jta's.te of the forbidden fruit, at all
events. At that time,, and in pa,rt of tho
country,- fruit stealing -was not a ver:y.
graveToffeOoe, but was looked, upon as a
mere practical joke, and it was
laughed
at in proportion with the success of the
trespassers iu committing their depreda
dations. Consequently, tho young men, while
they poveted the old doacou's fruit, and
despised his meanness, resolved, without a
singlo scruple of conscience, to go them
selves. Tliere were only a half dozen privy to
the plot, and soon had everything satis
factorily arranged for carrying it into ef
fect. The whole six had agreed to meet at
the town tavern bctwoen' tho hours of nine
and ten in the evening, in order to be
ready to commence their operations at
ten precisely, which was just the time ap
pointcd for the setting out from the town
tavern.
Airong tho conspirators was one Ned
Harvey, a bold, hot headed, humorous
fello.w,.who it may be, premised, was an
inimitable mimic. Harvey was the soul
of tho party? but owing to some severe
practical jokes which he had perpetrated
at the expense of his companions, they
wished on the present occasion, to put a
trick upon him. 1'berc they were none
witty enough to invent, but accident af
forded them a plea.
It happened tbat the party was assem
bled at the tavern on the night appointed
at a quarter often, with tho exception of
Harvey.
"What are all of us waiting for," said
one, "Ned Harvey?"
"Ned is behind."
"No he ain't, don't ybii see it isn't time
jet 1"
"Ten is the hour." t
"You aro right. I have a proposition
boys."
"What is it?"
"Give him the slip." '
"And go without him !" .;j
"Exactly." " ' ; 1
"A splendid idea."
"A fine joke."
"Good."
The whole party accordingly silently
left the tavern and disappeared in the di
rection of old deacon Newcomb's orchard.
Five minutes after Ned Harvey came
in surprised at not finding his compan
ions, whom ho had supposed would be for
tlfe most part assembled, he looked .at the
clock then his watch, and finally inquired
of the bar tender if he had the corect
time.
"It wants eight minutes to ten," he. an
swered, Harvey sat .down and remained' quiet
just eight minutes, when the hourhad; ar
rived at which his companions had prom
ised to bo assembled, he began to suspect
foul play, and speaking to a man said:
"Has Dick W. been here to-night ?"
"Yes."
"And Charley B."
"Yes."
"And Bill G."
"Yes., Theyleft here before you.came;
Ned L. And Frank 'A: were'w'ith'iheuo.."
Harvey bit his lips" he saw through
kthe entire-plot', and'he a'sked himself,'
'-,How the deuce -can Tcomoup to the
rascals ?" . - . '
An idea stru?k him, and he robbed bis

his own triumph complete, and his com
panions the victims of their own treach

deacon himself.

that
their texture could be discovered. The
com-Jpants were of a small check or plaid pat.
Ihe shirt waa considerably rotten, .lhe
coat seemed to be snuff colored, and a
black silk handkerchief was found, tied
as it was on the neck. In the -pockets of
the clothing was found a Lepinp silver
watch, jaok kuife, and a buckskin purse,
containing SI 3G in money. A pair of
gloves were found in ono of tho coat pock
ets, and in another a letcr and several
cards. The latter after drying, was read
able, aud was found to be directed to Mr.
Thurston. It was from a Philadelphia
I ber last, when carried away by tbeescap

ed balloon dashed to pieces, and thoso
pieces, gnawed by animals in that seclu
ded ticket.
It-will be remembered that Mr. Thurs
ton was seated on the valve, clasping the
silk wjtb his arms when lastseeu. When
the balloon was found at West Tilbury,
Canada, the dife of the valve was toru off,
three-fourths of the way around. When
at the- great height at which tho little boy
thought-that immense balloon was a kite,
almost out of sight, the silk around the
valve must have given way, precipitating
Thurston to the earth. The calculations
of his friends, based upon his probable
powers' of cu'durauce, led the search far
beyond where his mutilated remain lay.
The. wood was frequented during the past
winter by rabbit hunters, aud Mr. Miner
had hauled wood near by the thicket, but
the wet nature of the ground around the
-knoll, and the thick brushwood, naturally
turned aside all passers by4
The balloon ascended from Adrian at
9 o.'clock on the 16th of September last,
with Mr. Banister awl Thurston in it ; it
descended on the-farm of Mr. J. Dinge, iu
Ogden, near Knigt's Station, at about 10
o'clock, and the escapade occurred at a-
bout 1 0-V o'clock, owing to the removal of
the car ;rones and other wciehts. while
MrThuHtbn waa trying to open the valve
when, as bystanders expressed it, the
balloon bounded up "like a rocket," car
