From these apptamnve, it Vfits gelU' tally hurmised by the IJalUird community that trout and woodcock might be the attraction to these two ornaments ol the beau month, whose fume aa bueh hud preceded them. It ", however, ' mutter of conjecture merely, for the young gentle men, though not ollensively nrrogunt, yet Uiuintuined a becoming exclusivenets which prevented tlient from imy familiar question ing or intrusion on the put t of the lower ortier of creation ly which they were Eur rounded. Whnt were their real motives in wasting their fascinations np.iu the cksert air of Billiard, may possibly bo gathered from the fnUuwin diul(i'uf, which took uhice one tino morning about a wick after their arrival. Thev were seated on the piazza of their own little "cottage," just after breakfast their feet elevated uiion the railing thereof and their eyes dieumily wundering over Ihe landscape, or lazily lollowiiug tlio. misty nazes ot the vapory w reaths w hich issued from their moiistiiehcd lips. "What shall we do to day V queried Carl yon, dreamily. "Whatever you like," responded his friend, with lazy amiability, us he slowly raised his head, and with jeweled lingers gave a tr'mle turn to his let black moosiache. lie was dark Mr. Randolph Lovingsloa and something in the banditti stjle ; w hile his friend Carlynn w as fair us u gil l, with wavy light brown locks, and very blue eyes. Both were, as the young ladies declined 'perfect loves.' Yet they were not exuetly dandies. They were too high bred, and possessed of too rruch good taste, if not .nod sense, for iiny such vulgar weakness. They were simply 'gentlemen' rich, hand some, uristociatie, and fushiouuble. What more was there to be desired ? "Rather alow hete hey?" resumed Mr. Arthur Curlyon, after a meditative pause. "Aw dure say." After which admission Mr. Luting-ton lapsed into a poetic reveiie judging trom the manner in w hich he guzcU upward at tiie clouds. 'I say, 'JJolph, how much longer nro we to stay here?' resumed Mr. Carlyon, with a inild ilcsmiration. 'Till tkotie Uoidey girls and their mother leave the White Sulpher, responded Dolpli, cooly. V herent Carlyon laughed. 'You'll tind Roxley gii lsand Huxley ninm mas everywhere -at lean till you get mar tied, or lose your fortune or your good look, I do.' This complacently. 'It's disgusting V murmured Lovingfton. 'Why cant the women let a uinu alone. 1 do believe that had I uot come here as I did called suddenly away you know, by the dangerous illuess of a liieud that irre pressible women would have hud me en gaged to oue ot the red haired daughters he lore this.' The gentleman was slightly excited. Hence his lengthy speech. 'It it annoying,' drawled Carlyon, in the tone of a fellow martyr, yet to whom the martyrdom w as less a trial than to the oiler. 'But here one may rest in peace. There's only those lleyden girls nice and pretty, but not of our set. They'll hardly trouble ..' 'Hardly,' It was at the very moment of arriving at this satisfactory conclusion that Carlyon, glancing upward, beheld sums object which arrested hi cigar when half-way to his lips, snd caused his eyes to expand slightly. -'I say, Lovingston, what's tbutt' - ' ' Loviugslon'g eye followed suit. , r t - '15y Jove V was hi low comment. 'The regular thing, sad uosuistsksj' add ed Carlyon, with emphasis. ; . The 'regular thing' was a tall, very fair, rather stately young lady, . with wary blonde, hair sw.pt buck from w hat poetic young geptlemen witling iu almutuc, would esll a 'quccn-like brow.' Shu was attired ia a simple but stylUh-lookiug blue mora Ing dress, and stood on the upper balcony Ot 1110 UOtCl UUllUing pppusue, eereueiy r verieff tie landscape. llv ler side preset) t. ly appeared a .lighter, more graceful more piquanta figure a young girl with a clear dark complexion, ricl dark lair, bazel eyes, sod red lint, whose half arch expression contrasted with (he somewhat listless seren- its of her companion. At this latter appa rition the two gentlemen exchanged looks In dumb surDrise. "Who eah the be r remarked Carlyon, at length. I don't know tbera, and yet they're toanAody. that's certain.

SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH "Faulkner, of Wayneville," repented Lo vingston. as Jem retired from "the preseuce." "I kuow them now. No great faniijy nr connection to Bpetik of, but rich and good position. Don't kuow Miss Early." "I do j great belle. Witty, attractive, and all thut-trMe f' '." "Hal" Lovingslnn hastily brushed away the ashes from hia cigar, w hile his friend moved a little out of Ihe hhadu of the morn ing glories which trel!ised his piazza. "1 say, Arthur," said LovinMon, suddenly, "it's the same old story a confounded man titip, tis usual.1 Don't you see they're pre tending hot to ecc us never once glanced this way, by Jove! Think we're admiring them to distraction. Rah!" 'And with tin expression of indignant dis gust the gentleman put on Ins t unama, nnu, accouipauied Uy Ins Irieml, strolled away up the gorge with an uir of leisurely indifference. They could not very well avoid meeting the young ladies at dinner. Carlyon, in fact, rather got himself up for the occasion by a few extra touches of the toilette ; but he might as well et it alone, considering the pertect iiti.tchiiLtnce manifested by the lair ones. Miss E.rly did once or tw ice glance across the table toward them, while careless ly nibbling a bit of cake, but her cousin was as serenely uncouscious of their presence as in tlio morning; and they rose and left the two gentlemen still in the midst of their repast, Miss Early talking gaily as they went out, without even a sido glance at tho two superior beings whose presenco shed a halo of- fashion uud exclusivencs over their end of the table. "Cool, ch ?" was Lovingston's remark, helping himself to cucuti,bers. lu the evening there Was n little dance. Messrs. Lovingstou and Carlyon lounged about the piazzas and glanced io at the open windows, a ml once ur twice condescended to afford the ladies a view of their unexcep tionable ut tired fjgures framed in the door way. Miss Faulkner dunced oucc with a nice-looking elderly gentleman, with whom she appeared to be acquainted, and who Carlyon heard inquire alter her father's sprained ankle. Miss Early danced w ith the same gentleman, and ulso with his nephew, a raw und blushing youth of nineteen. But neither of thein cast wistlul ok. longing glances at the uioustuchcd ones in the dour wuy. "Fine girls Dance well 1" approvingly observed Carlson. "Aw, y e s I" udmilted Lovingston. Bo it continued for some clays. The IJox ley's remained at tho White Sulphur. Mr. Faulkner's ankle continued sprained. The young ladies rode, chatted; took pleasant Milliliters up the shadowy gorge, and seemed perfectly satisfied. Discontent grew upon the two unappreciated ones. It was in vain that Curlyon udjustcd his necktie In tho most approved lashiou, or that Lovingston as sumed the nir of the ung azure. All looked ou iu admiring awe exc.pt the Misses Faulk ner and Early. This was a state of things to the gentlemen novel and surprising, find at length Carlyon remarked to his friend, that, considering the scaiciiy of urutiFcment ut Ballard's, he "retilly shouldn't mind being iutroduccd to the youug ladies." To which bis friend kindly assented. So tho introduction took place on tic piHZ.tt that afternoon, ond the acquaintance commenced by Mr. Lovingston remarking to Miss Faulkner that the weather was Warm, and Mr. Carlyon inquiring of Miss Early how she liked Ballard's? To which '.lie young lady serenely replied, "Exceedingly," ami the latter vivaciously responded "It is charming ! a perfect little paradise I The gorge is surely the most picturesque spot iu the world, with its moss, feruis, and water lulls !" "Aw I yes a pretty place if only cne knew what to do with one's self in the morn ings," qualitied Carlyon. "i'uucan be at no loss," answered Miss Early, with the least passible tvfiechievous twinkle in her eyes. "1 am sure I saw you coming from shooting, this morning with Jem hearing a wood-cock and a blue jay j and yesterday there was a trout, I believe, and a bunch of such dear little silvery fish almost too young, I thought, to be taken trom their mothers." Lovingston laughed, but consoled himself in the renection tersely expresseu iu uis friend "Sly ! Ikon watching us all this while. Thought so." Thev were soon very good friend?, walk ins and ridinu together now, nnd lingering much in tho shady groves und pathways which were the charm ot Milliards. And yet neither of the gentlemen manifested a preference for either one of the ladies, nnd it was the same w ith regard to the latter. They talked, laughed, changed places as occasion or accident decreed, but ot pre ference there was not a sign to gratify tho curiosity of tho many eyes which inquisl tively followed them in their outgoings and Incomings. Ann yet it was set uowu as a tixed fact that such association must by all laws, natural or sociul, come to "something" in the end. Carlyon was the Hist whose eyes vaguely opened to this fact. "I say, Lovingston, uon t you tuinu aw : that we're rather committing ourselves?" , . , . . . . . , , . , "How ?" "Why, in paying so much attention to these girls. ' "footi r "They'll expect, you know." "T ,i.f 'pin " I'lln, mil II nnw honor, vou know.

' uY-e t ; but to awfully unappreclatire or '-Huh - - ' ' ' In the afternoon their last afternoon thow returned slowlv from their usual shoot ing excursion, Jem following, with two thrushes and a barn owl. ...

"Wish the gurls were here," observed Car lyon, punsivcly. "Yes. They're amusing." "We'll miss" 'em." "Can't help it." "Yes we can." Lovingston turned his eyes in listless curiosity upon his friend. "What's up now ?" Carlyon looked thoughtfully down npon the brook that ran murmuring past over the scattered rocks. "Lovinaston, wo msy as well do it." "Do what t" "Why. what they and everybody expect marry 'em t" "I'hew l" "Why riot?" "I'm sure I don't know." "They're cburming girls, and sufficiently good pnrtii." "Yes." "Better than we meet with every day." "Well aw yes." "And they like its, you know, and it's aguiost my principles to trillu with a girl's feelings in this way. And they're rich, you know." "Yes." "Suppose we do it ? We'll have to come to it some time or other, you know that is, uturry somebody or other." "Confounded bore. And yet aw one must marry, I suppose, and one may do worse than this." "Much worse." A long thoughtful silence. "You're agreed, 'Dolph ?" "Why aw I've no great objection. They're rich, and pretty, us you say, and accomplished, aud ugreeable. They'll be dmired, you know, and do us credit iu society." " Inch do you prefer? ' "Really, I can't say. Both, or either." "Just my case. Sometimes I think one, then the other." "Miss Faulkner's the handsomest." "But Miss Early's the wittiest and most piymthte.'' "lcs. tine eyes." "But Miss Faulkner's complexion is tie best. So white and red." 'I can't decide. Y'ou choose.'

'Well!' 'Well it can't bans' there long. The wind' II blow it down immediately. Now we w ill call the straw after one of them say Miss Faulkner and if it fulls on your side, she's yours ; if on my side, mine.' 'Done !' So they lay there and watched the straw as it trembled upon it s insecure perch a it of straw wafted op into the hemlock from the neighboring meadow. Presently t wavered, became detached, and tell slowlv, first to the right, an 1 then to the left, until finally it descended suddenly to Lovings ton s teet.

I'll yes I'll propose this vcrv night.' So will I. It will save trouble, and they're no doubt prepared for it.' Whereupon the two arose, and resumed their wav homeward. The night was balmy, and splendid with moon-light. Two couples sauntered on tho broad lawn, a little apart trom the rest, anil spoke in low murmurs, while two pairs of bright eyes dropped nuxle.-tly, and two white hands trembled a little on the mascu line arms that supported them. What was said we don't kuow, and ii wo did, wouldn't tell. Wn only know what took place when at a lute hour the two couples finally met in the centre of the lawn. The ladies looked serenely happy, tie gentlemen a little be wildered. Ten o'clock. Papa will be expecting us in,' said Miss Faulkner. 'One more draught of the magic waters. said Miss Early : and she bounded down the slope, followed by Miss Faulkner, to the spring whence gushed the healing fountain. The two gentlemen, following more slowly, toimd themselves side by side. I sny, 'Dolph,' whispered Carlyon, -wiiac did she say ?' 'Ao.' 'So did Miss Early.' . A look of moody sympathy wasexebanged. Mis Baulkner's adieu was less cordial. She whispered something in her cousin's ear as they were suoui parting iroui umir escort at their door, and tie latter turned pleasantly. 'A parting word, gentlemen. It is this. When next you stake your fortunes upon the falling of a straw, bo sure you look on. the other side of the rock, lest there chu-ce to be witnesses of the affair.' She boa-ed gracefully, and the door closed on them. 'By Jupiter' muttered Carlyon in a low voice. 'Yes aw by Jove? ' . And the young men are still unmarried. X. Y, Sunday Time.)

Tlse Urave of Ilraddoi-k. Among the many things which timo has brought to light is the answer to the oft repented query, "Who killed Rraddock ?" During that memorable retreat of the British antl provincial troops, Braddock ordered tint his troops should not protect them selves behind trees. One Jacob Fatisctt presumed to disobey this order, when Brad dock, in passion, struck him with a sword. Ton. Fausctt, who was but a short distance from his brother, saw the whole transaction and immediately shot the General through the lungs. The Hon. A. Sicwart, of Union town, Pa., snys his father often heard Fan sett acknowledge this. After Bruddock fell Ins body Was carried by the troops for four days, when he expired. He was interred In the middle of the load, so that all the sol diers, w agons and horses might pass over and obliterate nil vestiges of his grave from the eyes of the savages. About twenty nine yeuts ago some laborers who were re pairing the road, came upon the remains, find taking a number of the most prominent hones reinterrcd the others. Sometime afterword the hones were collected and sent to Pcale's museum, which was in Philadel phia at thut time. Braddock's grave is in Fayette county, this State, and is marked by a plain shingle nailed to a tree, where part of the bones are interred. This is the only monument which serves to point out to the traveller the last resting place of the proud and brave but unfortunate victim of Indian warfare. Genim of Liberty. A Mplt-tulisI Italei-lnluiueiit iu IJo ton. A brilliant entertainment was given in Boston on Thursday evening, hv n vonno- millionaire of that city, on the occasion of j uis coming or age and into possession of his estate. A paper of that city says : "Horticultural Hall was last evening the scene of a very costly nnd a very fashion able entertainment, which create'd a great sensation among the beuu monde. "The party last evening was given by a wealthy lady of this city, in honor of her son, the heir to a princely fortune whoso father was ono of the millionaries of Rostou. No pains or expense were spared to render it superior to anything of the kiud ever seen here. The total cost was from $15 -000 to $20,000. The floral decorations of tne two uaiis were eight thousand camelias, innumerable roses, calla lilies, nnd ntle choice flowers rare plants, etc. i ne guests w no arrived in carriages in full dress, alighted on a carpeted sidewalk, beneath a canopy, and were escorted up stairs to the dressing rooms each side of the main entrance, supper was announced at 11 o'clock. There wcro several large tables in the centre of the hall loaded with the choicest viands ond wines, and numerous small tables were arranged around the hall at which the guests were served." In a recent pastoral, Bishop Arthur Cleve land Cnxe says : "When I "see tlio tawdrr fashions t. costly vulgarity and wicked extravagance of the times, I feel sar thut thousands of American women are strangers to tho first law of refinement simplicity iu manners and attire. "When I sec that thousands of Americon women read the most shameful romances and the most degrading uewspapers ; fre quent the vilest dramatic entertainments and join in dances too shocking to be nam ed among Christians ; I feel that Christian matrons are becoming too few, and that civ ilized heathenism is returning to the fields we have wrested from the Indians. "WhcnJ read, daily, of the mott ungodly divorces and of crime against social purity and agaiust human life itself, which are too gross to bo mentioned more particularly, I ieei mat ioo ciauy ox our countrywomen are without God in the world, aud that ra. dical reforms are necessary in the systems of cuut-aviuu on w uicu me young women of America are ciepenuent lor their training. "When I see thousand of households in which young girls are reared for a life of pleasure, without reference to duty, I can not wonder at these results, nor at the misery in which they involve families and communities. Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind 1 "As u christian Bishop, therefore, I make my appeal to you. Christian women, and I ae you to begin the reformation, by faith fully bearing your testimony against all that tends to the degredution of your fcx, and tho more so, w hen such crime is not only winked at, but receives countenance in cir cles which ought to be'cxemplary." It may be interesting to some persons to learn a little about the private character of some of tho prominent men of Mexico. The following was clipped from the private Black Bock, a diary kept by one of Maxi milian's private secretaries in Mexico, and reveals some curious personal traits of the chief actors in tho Imperial tragedy in that country. The notorious General Juan X. Almonto, one of the chief promoters of the intervention, is described us "hondst, avari cious, and revengeful."

A correspondent of tie Arlanntti Coittertaiite, whose house was nver-run w ith rata, says a servant girl, who had seen the effect ot w hisky on bipeds, thought she would try an experiment npon rats. Accordingly she took a small quau tity, made it very sweet with sugar, crum bled in bread enough tor the crowd, ana set the dish in the cellar. A few hours after she went down and found several rats glo riously "luddled," engaged in turowlog po tato parings, and hauling one another up to drink. These were easily disposed of, and those not killed left the premises imme diately, suffering from a severe headache.
