JHTEHOALE IBETCBM. A SUMMER FLIRTATION. rr mips vA5 c ncKtssos. Lester Grejson rested lightly on bis c', and the little boat drifted Blowlj with the current. A einger'B Toico came fl tinir on the air from the open window of bouse fr down the river bank, bearing on its tones the old refrain "It maj be for year?, and it may be forever." As the worda reached them Grey- eoa leaned forward and tried to catch I a fall look at Edith Arran's face, j but Bhe was leaning over the boat ; edge, looking down on the hand ehe wg trailing in the moonlit water. She gave no sign of having eo much as heard the strain, not even when ber companion caagLt op the air, bumming the words in soft undertone Failing in this attempt to win her glance he spoke. "That might be sung f jr me. My pleasant summer is over To-morrow I must part from my summer haunts and friends in Tliverdale ; and, like Kathleen's lover it may be for years, and it may be forever. I must go off to Italy and study my art in good earnest. And if we do meet again I sappose you will have been Mrs. Gcrdon Vayland bo long tnat you will have quite forgotton our summer flirtation. But it has been so pleas ait that I hope you will not If se me whollr out of rour memory, Edith." "It has been pleasant, as you say One moat have amusement. Bat of course I shall not forget you. I shall eipect to bear of you through Italian letters in the papers, first as a 'rising young artist,' and afterwards as a fa mous one. As for my being Mrs. Gordon Wayland it is rather early to decide that, if you please." "Oh," he laughed, half bitterly; "Gordon will be very glad to come back to your feet, as soon as be has the chance. Toor fellow 1 how he elowers at me whenever we meet He wouldn't be quite so disconsolate if be bad chanced ta overhear yonr little confidence to me in the early summer, that you were only St far rich man's wite, aad must fulfill your destiny." "Could I have done more wisely ?" she retorted. If either you or I had suffered your fancy for me to go deeper than fancy you would hvj been sorrr for it as soon as I. You need either a wife with money enough to make your way easy, or one brave enough to bear hardships, and be always ready to encourage you in the struggle for fame and fort une. e couldn't aflord to Tall in love with each other. It is best for us to part friends and fulfill our des- t rues eeparately." Lester urevson made no answer, aad tbey fell into silence, drifting dowly down the moonlit current. Each was busy with thoughts of that parting on the morrow, anJ of what life for a time after might be to either alone. Because for three months back they had been constant compan ions, and despite their early made compact that nothing serious was to be thought of between them, each had found the summer strangely sweet, as they wandered together throagb woodland paths, or floated on the river, or blended their voices while Edith's skillful fingers strayed over the ivory keys, and looking through the vine-framed window they could see the sunset transfigure earth and Bky. Well it had been all a lovely dream 1 bo each said silently. But dreams cannot last forever, and when waking hours come one cannot give time even to cherish their pleasant memory. 00 Lester Ureyson pre pared lor bis voyage, deciding that bard work would enable him to for get Riverdale and Edith Arran. And for Edith wby there was, as Grey son had said truly, Gordon Way land's devotion waiting as before. Wby should it not suffice ber still J It bad been ber passionate desire to be freed from the vexations and morti fications of trying to appear, on their narrow income, to as great advant age in Riverdale society as the wealthiest there. Gordon Wayland bad inherited the richest estate of them all, and bis lovely home only waited ber acceptance to haye all ber wishes at ber command. She didn dislike bim either, and ber pride was pleased at holding bim bo completely from all the other girls. Bet, despite all this, a little voice whispering in ber heart would not be quite silenced. "How can I make op my mind to marry him without at least one tiny park of sentiment for bim f " So, as at least, a putting off of the day of decision, when Lester Grevson came to board with ber mother, and speedily showed himself charmed by the daughter, she had chosen to let his companionship and attention in terpose between ber and Wayland Uut, still deciding that wealth was utterly needful to her happiness, she had checked Grey son on the verge of utterance of what wou!dbave been words diQicuItto recall, and remand ed their friendship to the vantage gronnd of a flirtation thoroughly on derstood by both to be cue that should lead to nothing more. Am I going to hold her up to virt nous reprobation because of this .Not at all. 1 here are some temper aments anu dispositions that never can be happy in what to them seems poverty, no matter how many other blessings are crowded upon them. If a girl is of this kind why should she marry a man without wealth to make bim unhappy r If she is not, and makes a mistake by acting as Edith Arran did, ber lesson will probably not neca, 10 aaa to us point, yonr condemnation or mine, iSo I have no comment to offer, be cause, an hour later, Edith's clear so prano failed to tremble on a sing! note ol the pathetic ballad as she sang to Lester "Anld Robin Grey," ana men, a moment later, trilled gal ly forth in the brilliant cadences of the Ardita waltz. 'or shall I add any because, next morning, while the sunrise ray lay level across the dewy fields, after a laughing good bye she looked with a calm, clear glance after Lester Greyson'a re treating form. She fell into a rev erie over her sewing that day which ended in the words, audibly spoken as she put by the muslin dress she had bein making ever for an evening party, "An, wen: 1 might have fal len in love with bim to an extent which would have made me forget everything for a little while, but Par adise wouldn't have lasted long if I bad to keep on turning and contriving as I do now." What Lester Greyson may have thought as be looked back is" cot on record. But in three days he was hastening "to lands of snmmer across the tea," resolved that art and fame abould smile upon bim whether love did bo or not. Before those same three days were over Edith very unexpectedly, and to her great content, found "fields fresh and pastures new" awaiting her. A cousin of Mrs. Arran, whom Edith bad rarely seen, wrote to the mother askiog her to spare her diugbter for a year. The old cousinly feeling between Mrs. Arrn and Mrs. WfSibrook bad never died oat, although tbey rarely met, and their lives had been passed m totally diuerent surrounainirs Mrs. We tbrook wrote that the last 1 r a J t . ? . J ! of ber own daughters were married, and she would be very glad to give her young cousin all the advantages of society, music, kz., to be had in a winter in the city, and then to take her for a summer to the seaside. "And who knows," Mrs. West- brook wrote, "but that while she is with us she may meet ber fairy prince. I hone she has no: already bound herself by any ties that may prevent her coming." 1 shall mis you very mucn, b.iiu Mrs. Arran when she had read the letter to her dugbter, ' but I think it right and Lest that you should have the advantages cousin .Maria offers. If we had to get yoa up a costume fitted for the society which you must constantly meet wiiq her, of course it would be impossible. But the delicate way in which she adverts to that, and sys that if you come yon must come as her own, is exactly like her, and takes away the difficulty. I am quite sure that you cannot help being tond of her when you know her, wholly apart trom an that she offers you." So it proved. Edith, quite ilhng from more than one cause to evade coming to any decision about Gordon ayland, managed to avoid a&y pri vate interview with him, and was well pleased to hasten her departure in compliance with ber ccuain's re quest. Aad she could not neip at leait a faint utile hope tnat tne iairy prince might come in the city life wita aa much money as lioraou ay- land, and with attractions that would enable ber to care as much for bim as she might have done for Lester Grey son. Ii is not needful to write the story of that year in the ci-y aod by the ca. Edith was pu .1 and piquent, aad she bad her full bhare of beile hood: and two or three eligible of fers notwithstanding the fact that she was known to be a penniless young lady. But when it came to the point of answer Edith could not make up her mind that any one of her lovers answered '.0 the ideal fairy prince, and when the year was over, and Mr, and M's. Westerook sailed for Europe, Edith returned to Iliverdule, to take up the problem of life where she bad left it ; and not quite either, for she had erown wiser the year she had hpen awav : she knew more ot life than when she went to the cuy, , and more of herself, too. .1 kh went about ber borne du ties, and helped in the planning aad contriving to secure the greatest com fort possible from their small means, if with fewer of the old time bursts of gaycty, certainly with even tem pered Bweetnecs scarcely hers oe lbre. And she bad made up her mind about Gordon Wayland. .Not at all as she had intended to do when she sent away Lester Greyson, denjing bis parting plea to be permitted oc casionally to write. Gordon had written repeatedly while sje was away, bus she Had sent mm no an swer. He was almost the first caller after her return, for the old fascina tion was strong upon him, and he bad taken fresh courage from the fact that she had come back tree. But within a week be knew that be could never win her. 1 never should haye let you hope that I would Borne day be your wite: only I thought for a time it might be so. But 1 could never make your happiness, Gordon, nor find my own in the quiet, friendly feelings which is all I have to give you. You de serve as earnest a loue as any wife can give to any husband, and you will yet win it from some woman worthier than I." Against all of which he protested, but went his way, perforce, for her tone and name bad forbidden abso lutely any further hope. He thought life empty enough for a time, but when the roses of the second June thereafter blossomed there was proof enough that that stage of experience had gone by. t ayland Grange bad a mistress very fair and young, but Edith Arran still divided with the bride the suffrages of Riverdale as to grace and beauty Those summer days also slipped awar, and at last the full moon of the early September made glorious the gleaming river, the undulating valley, the far off silvery hills. Edith sat alone in the vine shaded parlor of the little cottage, playing in dreamy fashion tone alter tune, singing at limes chance snatches of melody. Some memory of an evening three years gone by must have been with her, for presently across the fra grant night air her clear voice carried the exquisite melody of Kathleen Mavoureen, which she had listened to with Lester Greyson as it died across the water. 1'id he ever remember that even ing, sue wondered, and the summer that went before? Had be found some one to make bim quite forget, or was his whole soul wrapt in dreams of art; for she bad beard of bim time and again, as she had said, as a "rising young artist." She knew that bis pictures commanded not on ly admiration, but money. She had beard ot more than one on exhibition in Sew York, and read the critics' praises of the same. "Was she nurs ing bis memory in any love sick fash ion?" And always she aoswr-td, "No!" only ebe could marry no tuan who was not able to put the memo ries of that summer wholly a ay, and to vrin such love from her as she could have given Lester Greyson. Was it an echo of ber own mind? "It has been for years, and I thought ior a long time it would be forever," said an unforgotten voice from the shadow of the doorway, Edith rose to greet bim as if they had parted but yesterday "Wben did you come home ?" she" question ed. "I do not know yet wLetberl have come borne," be answered. "Last week I reached New York. Yester day I desired to pass a dsy in the old familiar places, aod try whether a sight of yoa in Wayland Grange would not help me to break the sway of the old dream, so that I might re turn to Italy free. You were too late that summer in telling me I must not hold yon in my heart Yon were there already, and you have never left yonr place vacant" He paused, but there came no an iwer from voice or eyes. She could not spetk with those- sudden waves of deep feeling surging op in her heart Lester took courage from the yery silence. "To-day I came to find another in Wayland Grange, and to hear that yoa were in the old home stilL A eudden hope came to my heart, and I determined at least not to go away without testing it Will yoa tell me whether I have come tome, Edith ? J Will yoa be my wife ?" Edith lifted her face in the moon light, and straightway two hearts went out together "in the new world which ia the old." - RiverdIe was a little eUctrified, for "no one knew Edith Arran bad been eugaged all this time, and waiV iotr for Letter Greyson." So gossip ioterprrted the matter, and the par ' . .4 .... n.. a vnl a n a. tijfl ties interes ed cave no explanation. Before October came to transfigure the hills wiih crimson and golden splendors, there had been a quiet wedding, and Edith, richer in love than she had ever dreimed of being in worldly possessions, bad gone with ber artist husband to a home across the sea. The "fairy prince" had come, aid ai it is with the fairy princes ever, Beyond the nitf at, acros the day. Through all the world siic followed bin-." WIstsKasr ny a Uarse. TLe Rev. Dr. Cbamberlaiu, in a letter to the "American Missionary," from Mudnapilly, India, gives the following singular experience be bad with a balky horse : Nineteen years ago, says the ven erable divine, I bought in Madras a peculiar kind of a horss. He had to be wound up to rrake bim go. It was not a machine, but a veritable live borsr. Wbeu breaking bim 10 go in the carriage he bad been injured. An accident occurred in starting him the first time, and he was thrown and hurt and frightened. It made bim timid; afraid to start After be had once started he would never balk. Taken cut of the carriage, be would start and stop and go cn as mauy times as you pleased, but it was very difficult to start first each time he was harnessed to the carriage. He was all rigot under the saddle, an excellent riding hore, aud would carry me long du-tances in my dis trict work, so that I did not wish to dispose of bim ; but I could not af ford to keep two; whatever I had must go in a carnage as well as noe, ad I determined that I would con- ilow 1 have woiRea over mat horse 1 At first it sometimes took me an hour to get him started from my door. At last, after tryitg every thing I bad ever beard of, I hit upon an expedient that worked. I took a strong bamboo buck two feet loDg and over an inch thick. A 6tout cord loop was passed through a bele two inches from its end This loop we would slip over bis left ear down to the roots, and taro the stick round and round and twist it P .. . It is said that a horse can retain but one idea at a time in us small brain. Soon the twisting would be gin to hurt. His attention would be abstracted to the pain in bis ear. He would forget all about a carnage be- . .. i jj 1 : ing hitched to mm, oena aown urn head, and walk off as quiet as a Iamb. When he had gone a rod the horse boy would begin to untwist, soon off would come the cord, and the norse would be all right for the day. The remedv never failed. After having it oa two or three times he objected to the operation, and would spring about and rear and twitch and back, anything but start ahead, to keep it from being applied. We would have, two of us, to begin to pat and rub about bis neck and bead He would not kaowa which bad the key. All at once it would be on his ear and winding up. The moment it began to tighted he would be quiet, stand and bear it as long as be could, and then on he would go. It never took thirty second to get bim off with the key. It would take an hour witoout. After a little he ceased objecting to have it put on. He seemed to say to himself, "I have got to give in, and may as well do it at once," but he would not start with out the key. In a few month be got so that, as soon as we got into tbe carriaire .be would bend down bis bead to have tbe key put 00, and one or two tores would be enough for him. Then the key became unnecesary. He would bend down his bead, tip ping bis left ear to the horse-boy, who would take it in bis hand and twist it, and off he would go. My natiye neighbors said. "That horse must be wound up or be can not run." And it ii1 seem to be 80. When he got so that tbe "winding up" was nothing but a form, I tried to break him of that, but cculd not succeed. I would pat him and talk to bim and give bim a little salt or sugar or bread, and then step quiet ly into the carraige and tell bim to go. "Mo." Coax him. "No." Whip bim. "No." Legs braced, eyery muscle tense for resistance. A genuine balk. Stop and keep quiet for an instant, and be would bold down bis bead, bend over bis ear, and look around for tbe horse-boy ap pealingly, saying very earnestly by actions, "Do please wind me up. I can't go without, but I'll eo gladly if yoa will." Tbe moment bis ear was touched, and one twist given, off be would go as happy and contented as ever a horse could be. Many hearty laughs have we and our friends bad over the winding up of tbe horse. If I were out oa a touF for a month or two and he was not hitched to tbe carriage, or if be stood in tbe stable with no work for a week or two during tbe monsoon, a real winding up had to take place the first time he was put in. We kept bim six years. Tbe last week I own ed bim 1 bad to wind bim op. I sold tbe patent to the man that bought tbe horse, aud learned from him that be had to use it as long as tbe horse liv ed. Sot Badly Damaged. Some lawyers take very practical views of cases in which tbey are re tained. In a certain town in Missou ri bquire U was detending a charge of malpractice. A colored man was suing for damages, bis wife having died shortly after the opera tion for the removal of a cancer. When it came Sqnrie O 'a tarn to cross-examine the plaintiff, he ask ed : "Mr. WiUon, bow old was your wife wben she diedf" "About forty-five, sir." "Yoa have married agaia, have you not?" "Yes, Sir." How old is yonr present wife, Mr. Wilson ?" "About thirty-five." Is she stout and healthy, Mr. Wil son ?" "Yes, Sir." "Then, Mr. Wilson, will yoa please state to this jury how yoa are dam aged in thi? case." Mr. Wilson had evidently never taken this view of the matter, and could make no answer. The good and true men thought he bad made rather a good thing by his bereave ment, and brought in a verdict for the defendant A Syracuse paper has been calling the watermellon a green-bide monster. Where th Atasrola Mr. A littl girl with tangled locks peeping from under a calico hood, clad in a dress of cbiotz, loitered be hind as a great dusty crowd passed out of the gates of Mount Adna tbe other Jay, after they bad scattered their flowers and doue honor to tbe dead Dreamily she gazed after them, ber eyes filled with a far-away look of tenderness, until tbe last one bad disappeared and tbe rattle of the drums had died away. Then she turned and vaguely scanned tbe mounds that rose about ber, clutch ing still tighter the fading bunch of dandelions and grave grass that ber ebubby hand held. An old man carta by and gently patted her curly bead as be spoke ber name, but she; only shrank buk still further, aod when be told a passing strauger that the little one's father was one who died on shipboard and wad buried at eea there was only a tear-drop in tbe child's eyes to tell that she beard or knew tbe story. Wben tbey were gone she moved on further to a ne glected lot, and kneeling down she piled up a mound ofeartii, whimper ing as she patted it down, and smoothed it with her chubby band, "This won't ba so awfully big as tbe olbers, I trues, but maybe it will be bigenouBaSO that God will see it and think that papa is buried here " Carefully she trimmed the sides with tbe graej and flowers she plucked, murmnring on: "And maybe it will crow so that it will be like the rest in two r three years ; aud then maybe papa will sometime come back and" But she paused as though it suddenly dawned upon ber young mind that be res:ed beneath tbe waves, and the tear-drop that sprung to ber eyes moistened the little bunch of dandelions that she planted on the lit.le mouud the bsd reared. When tbe eexton passed that way at night as he went to close tbe gate be found the little one fast asleep with her bead pillowed on tbe mound. San dusly Jleguler. a maimer' Hnlctde. York, I'a , Oct. 18. Tbe Rev. A. Tripcer wist found hanging by the neck in VI vnchester borough yester day. IJj was well known ia this portion of Pennsylvania, and his Bad end has created great comment. He was stiving with his brother-io-law, Henry Eei hart Oa the night pre vious to L is death there was appar ently nothing the matter with bim. He rested well and at five o'clock yesterday morning arose aad went down stairs for a dnok of water, re turning ia a moment or two. About balfaa hour after that his wife left the room without tbe least intimation of anything being wrong. After breakfast she returned to her cham ber, aud to her surprise found her husband missing, and at once began a search Her little niece came to ber assis ince, and noticing tbe door way leading to the attic open, they ascended the stairs and were horri fied to find Mr. Tripner hanging by the neck. After his wife had left tbe room be cut a rope from tbe bed and went q-'; :ly up tbe stairs. Here he looped th; cord around his neck and fastened he other end to a rafter. By bending his knees he allowed him self to bang by the neck until life was extinct. All was done without noise enough to arouse the least suspicion on the p rt of tbe unsuspected wife, who was calmly eating her breakfast at tbe time of tbe tragic death of her husband. Mr. Tripner was pastor of the Uni. ted Brethren Church at Duncanaon, Terry county. He was a native of Cumberland and entered tbe ministry while pt 'l young He married Miss CatharLo Lobaugh, of Carlisle, who died abjut three years ago, leaving no children. Less thaa four weeks ago the miaister was married to Miss Ella Ererbart at Maacbester. Sever al days after their marriatre Mr. Trip ner went to his charge at Duncannon, but on B'-ejUQt of aa attack ot mala, rial fever be was confined to his room and was unable to resume his pastor al duties. He did not retura to Man chester uatil Tuesday of this week, and wbea be arrived he was suffering considerably. He complained that his memory was failing bim. His wife dev i-ed ber entire attention to him and the day before his death he appeared much better. He undoubt edly committed suicide in a fit of mo mentary insanity, brought on by sick ness. Mr. Tripner was bnried to day. "TERFECTL T SO USD." Allf.ohast Bridge, Pa., Sept 6, 1870. Dr.1L M. Fexkkr, Fredonia, X.
