Travers' morning room was the ideal of luxurious cleirance, and the lady herself made a charming picture as she lay back amid the crimson cushions of her cozy eay chair. One da.ntily slippered foot impatiently patted the lloor, and an indignant liush dyed the clear olive of her checks as 6he closely scrutinized the countenance of the room's other occupant, her handsome brother Hugh. He was fctanding by the fire, one arm resting on the low, marble man tel, an amused mile covering his lips as he regarded his irate sister. Mrs. Travers in her intent s- arc.h of his face saw the smile, and then the vials of her wrath burst on the head of the unlucky o fender. "I declare, Hugh ( ast'emoii, you arc tlie most provoking mortal I ever taw!'' (die exclaimed, with a Hush of her sparkling black eyes. "Jut see how you are spoiling all mv plans by vour Ftunid obstinacv. I have written and invited Klnor Vance hcn and stated particularly that you are staying with me and were anxious to meet her. I sent the letter yesterday, and now she'll come and find you gone. Of course she 11 know that you only went to avoid her, and what will she think? Don't stand there smiling at me in that tantalizing kind of way, for I have no patience with you at all !" And, with a toss ot her jettv braids, Mrs. Travers tightened the rose-colored cord girding her pale gray robe de chambre, while Hugh broke out into a little laujrh. Why, sister mine, vou don't know how well your little temper becomes you !" he said smiling down into the llushedface. "But serious ly, Flossie, I don't see why you should lly into a tantrum because I take a jaunt into the country for recreation from the dull care of a lawyer's office." Becreation, indeed !" exclaimed the lady, with an impatient gesture. '"Don't," Hugh don't run away with the idea that I believe anything like that, for I am well aware that you are only going to avoid meet ing Klnor Vance, though why j'on should do so is an impenetrable mystery to me." the gentleman made an impa tient movement. "Well, Flossie, I acknowledge that is my reason for taking myself off just about now," he responded a ook of seriousness settling on his face. ' Why, sister, do you suppose that I would stay here for a moment, laying the devoted to Miss Vance, simply because she is an heiress? or that I would consent to stand Quietly by while she coolly meas- J ured my physical and mental jual- j itics with a view to matrimony ?j Heaven forbid! And, Flossie, I must E.i v that m the matter cfa wito I prefer todomv own selecting. and certaenly my choice would never be one who could, even in the slightest manner, appear a? a hus band-hunter." "Hasband-hunter, indeed!" ex claimed Mrs. Travers, now thor oughly angrv.. "As if Klnor Vance, the heiress, with the beauty and ac complishments that she pessessw, would sloop io suen a unng im: sarcastically", "I think it is a most excellent idea of yours, this of going away; for, should you stay here, and Klnor just chance to smile on rw it "..ll yon, yourinsuiu-raoie concen would immediately construe u into an avowal of love. It is certainly a blessed escape for her." And, with this Parthian shot Mrs. Travers and her sweeping train sail ed maiesticailv horn tae apart ment. Hugh gave a long, low whistle as his sitter's plump form disappeared through the doorway, and then he laughed softly to himself; for he knew that the'pretty matron's little temper would soon be over, arid by dinner-time she would be her own lively self again. ' . While all this was taking place ia the Travers mansion the subject of the conversation was lending her golden head over Flossie's letter. Tlie pleasant chatty contents brought a smile to the sweet young face; but suddenly the smile vanished, nd, with puckered brow and compress ed lips, Klnor read the concluding paragraph of the. closely-written epistle. u Ma Clcrie," ran on, in Mrs. Trav ers' gliding chirography, "you have so often promised to pay me a visit that now I am going to insist on the fulfillment of your word, espec ia'ly as Hugh is with us. (You re bis likeness that I showed you while we were at school togeth er?) He is particularly anxious ita " ( This last clause being an inference on the part of the writer.) "?o. now. dear, you must come and stay with ua until the warm weather sets in, then go with us to Long Branch. II ugh -will, f course ac company us there, and . Well, strange "things happen sometimes. Be sure to come, that'? a darling, for you don't know how much good a f-iiit of your dear face will do Yours eternally, 'P. S. Write at ouce on wh.it day and train to cxrw-ct yon, and I vi ill send Hugh and the carriage to meet you. i- "P. & No. 2. When I sho-.ved your likeness to Hujrh he was capti vated at once, and declared he had never seen so charming a face. What will he eav to the original? F. T." Mrs. Travers was correct there ; ju.-t how much fo she did not know. The truth was, although nothing could have induced him to acknowl edge it, Hugh had fallen half in love with the pure, patrician face of mi nor's photograph, and in his heart of hearts he had invested Jicr with all the attributes which adorned his exalted ideal of feminine perfec tion ; and it was with secret disap pointment that he had heard of her intention to yisit his sister, after what he felt sure Florence had hint - ed at in her letter. For Mrs. Trav ers had taken it for granted that Kl nor would come, and Hugh s high estimate of delicacy could not but be offended at what he considered well, to put it mildly a visit of inspection ; for he really believed it to he that, notwithstanding his sis ter's vigorous protest to the contrary. But in that, he acknowledged to himself, he might be mistaken, and if so, why, Miss Vance would have every reason to believe him a for tune hunter, should he remain to play the devoted nn; her stay with Flossie. ?o he considered it the wiser plan to take himself off, which he accordingly did, telling Mrs. Travers to call it sudden busi ness, or nnything else she liked. What Klnor thought of him we may judge by the exclamation that greeted the close of her friend's epis tle. A bright, angrv flu.'h burned on cither soft, rounded check, and the blue eyes flashed with indigna tion, as their owner sprang to her feet, tossing the letter aside, clench ed her dimpled hands, and, proudly cresting her roval head, exclaimed, passionately : ''Does Florence Travers think for one moment that I would be guil ty of the unwomanly conduct at which she more than hints in this letter? Does siie suppose that I would seek her brother would visit Iter house with the avowed "inten tion of 'making his acquaintance? Ah, Florence, 3ou make a great mistake if that is your idea of Klnor i ance, and L have made a greater one in the estimate of your brother's character. Judging from the pic ture which you showed me I con sidered him a noble, refined gentle man, but I see I have been mistak en. "He 33 particularly anxious to see ine, is lie? Welh Mr. Hugh Castlciiion, I do not think you will have the pleasure of playing attend ant cavaher to the heiress just vet awhile." And the scornful emphasis on the word "heiress" will give us an idea of her suspicions as to Mr. C'astle tn on's "anxiety" to see her. "I had intended visiting Flossie this Fpring anyway," soliloquized Klnr. seating herself and speaking in a low tone, "but this," with a contemptuous- glance toward the letter, "has completely altered my purpose. 1 had anticipated so much pleasure, too," in a desponding tone. "But, oh, I know what I'll do,'' with a sudden brightening of the sweet face. "I'll go right down to Aunt Sallie's and stay there the whole spring and summer. Dear old Applcton ! lean fancy I smell the honeysuckle that grows over the front porch and peeps in at the kitchen window. And dear Uncle John and Aunt .Sallic! How glad tlie v will be to see their little Nel lie ! There I'll be safe from fortune hunters, at any rate, I will thro w aside the heiress and simply be country Ac-ll. J.ut now l will an swer Flossie's letter, telling her I will be unable to accent her invita tion this time." One week later found my heroine a guest at tier Aunt oaiiie w are s, whoso substantial farm was situated about a mile from the bustling little village of Applcton. The soft breath of spring had just begun to awaken into life, the jonquils and harebells, and the sweet biue violets, when Klnor reached the place. Uncle John and Aunt Saliie welcomed their little Nellie with open arms for they loved her for her own sweet self alone. Aunt Saliie had nursed her through a severe spell of sickness in her infancy, and since then had loved her as her own. Klnor's visits to the farm were the gala days in the lives of Uncle John and Aunt Sailie, and they never tir ed of petting "little Nellie," as they always called her. EInor, too, lov ed to" be with them, and it was a sigh of perfect content that she breathed as she sat the first evening of her arrival in a low rocker on the front porch, inhaling the fra grance of violets and honej'suekles. and thinkinz exultantly "how she had outwitted the two conspirato:s, a .ti i 1 - r as sne mentauy uesignauu irs. Travers and her brother. The gentle afternoon breezes were stealing through the vines that clambered over the front porch of the Ware homestead, every breath drawing fresh incense from the sweet flowers nodding their fragrant heads beneath the soft blue of the April sky. Down the road, leading through the wood op posite Aunt Sallie's, Klnor slowly walked along, every now and then stooping to pick a daisy or butter cup from the myriads around her. She was on her way to the village post office, thence to ttop at tlie "store" for some yarn, which Aunt Sallie'a bnsv fin??cr3 w. re to convert into subatantial hose for Uncle J John. On the day of which I am writing EInor was as pretty a specimen of the village lassie aa one could wish to ecc, with her bulf lawn just short enough to reveal the first two buttons of her dainty boots, her lit tle poke bonnet, with its blue rib bons, coquettishly tied to the left side of her dimpled chin, while all around her lovely face, strayed the soft rings of her golden hair. .Ajs she sauntered leisurely along ESTABLISHED, 1827.

Nearly halt the distance was passed, and Klnor was just beginning to con gratulate herself on being, almost safe, when patter, patter! the heard the big drops falling, on the leaves above her. Faster went the Tlyinir- feet, and ft: tor came the falling drops. Out of breath, El nor stopped beneath a : le-snrcaiimp' oak. and trimildin.r i .-t 7 t . .in i.vnauMauon, muou oeneaui iu? protecting bheltcr.: N The rain was now pourir.2 in tor- ! rents, and in a few lamutes a little 1 stream came oozing through the leaves, splashing on her dress and trickling down her back, sending cold shivers all over her body. Klnor was now thoroughly fright ened, as well as almost saturated. for it was nearly sunset, and almost dark. Suppose the rain should continue, lor an hour or two more? The house couldn't be very far no v. If only she could make Un cle John, or somebody at the f irm hear ! Anyway, she would try, and summoning all her etrencrth, she iiitcd, at the loudest her lungs ! were capable of : Uncle John! Uncle John!. Do somebody, come here!" But no answer camo. 'One more effort," said Klnor, despairingly ; and then: "Oh, Un cle John! Some body! Help!" After a second or two there came a response. ' Who calls ?"' was shouted. I Nellie!" exclaimed EInor, thinking it was Uncle John. "Over here by the big oak. Do hurry, for I'm nearly soaked !"' 'here was no answer; but, in a ni' inent or two Klnor's strained vis ion beheld a huge umbrella looming not far away, under which two gi gantic legs were making btrides to w...:d her. The face and upper p.irt of the body were hidden from v! -w by the umbrella; but, in a moment, it flashed on Klnor that those limbs could never be Uncle John's. Meanwhile the knight of the um brella had reached the blushing girl and was tiering his arm. "Allow me," he said, in low, cour teous tones, not seeming to notice tlie petite figure. Klnor placed her hand within his arm, and, not daring . raise her eve?, murmured tt soTt," "Thank yV'i !" Oh, not at a:!!"' exclaimed o ch'try voice, "Now which wav shall v.e go?" "EInor directed him, and explain f d how it was she had been caught i the rain; then, as her wet gar-nii-its swished around, she could not restrain a laugh at her comical though decidedly situation. uncomfortable, The r iin, still pouring, was sat urating the gentleman's light cloth ing, nnd it was with a heartfelt ejaculation of thankfulness that Kl nor entered the little front porch of her aunt's house. Mrs. Ware came to the door as she heard the little gate shut, and her exclamations were many and varied as she perceived her niece's saturated appearance. She at onco hurried her away to change her at tire, leaving Uncle John to do hon ors to the gentleman. Klnor, as yet, did not know his name, nor had she seen his face, and in htr heart she was anxious for both as she descended the steps a hah-hour later, iler drenched lawn was changed for a black grena dine ; a sweet rose was at her throat, another nestled amid the shining braids of her golden hair, entering t!.o sitting-room, she made her way to the figure standinc by the man tel, bus back to the door which she had entered. She knew that pepper-and-salt coat only too .well, and she w:sju.-t a trifle disappointed that it was her undo, and not the strang er whom she saw there. Anyway, though, she would find out his name, so, softly placing her hand on one pepper-and-salt shoulder she asked, with a little laugh. "Who is he, uncle?" Uncle turned, and by the flicker ing light of the fire, for the evening had grown chilly, Elnor's amazed eyes fell on Hugh Castlernon on ly attired in Mr. Ware's dry gar !!! r.ts. he recognized him the moment !: r eyes rested on his handsome '. e. She saw at once the likeness his photograph; and he, with .. onder on his face recognized her. "Mr. Cnstlemon!" "Miss Vance!" Both started back. Elnors fair j face crimsoned ; and then Hugh ex claimed, in incredulous tone3 : "Why, Mis3 Vance, I thoughtyou were with Flossie!" "I though you were there !" ex claimed Klnor, with a proud lift ing of the gold-crowned head. Hugh at once understood the sig nificant gesture, and hi3 heart beat the quicker at the thought thai she was not what he had haif suspected her, but .'.vas the sweet, womanly being that her pure, lovely counte nance betokened. He could have taken her in his arms then, as she stood there, her fair cheeks abloom, her proud head erect; but instead of that he only s ;id, with a quizzical glance into the 1 '.ue eyes: 'And that is why you are not t ere r Eleanor gazed straight into hi3 f ;e, and while tlie hot blushes 1 1 vered her face and neck replied : "It is." - - "And I am not there because I ti ought you were," said Hugh. Further explanations were rende-r- e 1 impossible by the" advent of Aunt S.dlie, who called both young peo ple to supper, at which cozy meal Hugh proved himself a most agree able acquisition. The rain continued until a late hour; so Mr. Castlemoa remained IT MAY 25, 1S31. i j over ni-ht. In the morning, as he was taking his leave, he requested Pcrmihcion to call iicam a I'frraH I a . 1 sion wnicn was readilv f;rant, and as readily acted upon. " Nearly everv day after this found jllugn at the Ware homestead, until j EInor began to watch for his corn- , ing with a strange, new ilutter at her lieart. There has been no I i .... spusen esjdanation, but between ! tliem w.13 a tacit understanding of the feelings which had prompted each to avoid the other. Ono evening when May had deck cd the earth is robc.i of loveliness, Hugh and- Klnor took a walk along the road where they first met. the calm ot evening lav like a spell over .all the beauteous sceno; the sweet scents of wild flowers, the low music ot birds, were all about them, and Hugh, gazing into, the penrdve face beside him, felt how dear how very dear it was to him, and ere ho could restrain it the story of his love burst forth in words deep with the passions of his heart, and then, looking down into the sweet blush ing face, ho asked her to be his wife. And Klnor, veiling her starry eyes beneath their soft, white lids, placed both fair hands in hi., and, in a voice of unutterable happiness, answered: "I will!" Didn't Kiij.v Htm to Tliem. He was on his way home from Leadville. He had on a ragged old summer suit, a bad hat, and he had been taking his meals about thirty hours a part -to make his money car ry him through. ".Yes, I like the country out that way," he replied to the query. "The climate is good, the scenery is fine, and some of tlie people are as hon est as need be. The trouble is know ing how to take the bad ones." "I should think that would be easy." "Yes, it looks that way, but I had a little experience. I am the origi nal discoverer of the richest mine around Le.idviHe." "Is that so?" "Yes, sir, I'm the verv man, but you woultin t think it to ;;ee these old elotnes. "Then you don't own it now ?"' "Not a bit of it. I'il explain: I wa.s poking around the hills and found signs. 1 collected some spec imens for assay ; staked out a claim and went off to the nssaycr.

Cain gave himself up to tho police. Late fur the Train. It was a long drive to the station, and the unfortunate horse had his i.iuuui !stue(i, aim ins iiuiiks itiuicr ed with the whip ; but all in vain, for when we reached the station Mr. Stifile and his wife gazed with un speakable disappointment at the receding train, which was just dis appearing under the bridge. Their first impulse was to run after it ; but as the train was out of sight, and whistling for the next town be fore they could act upon tho im pulse, they remained in the chaie, and disconsolately turned the horse's head homeward. "It all comes of having to wait for a woman to get ready," Mr. Stiffle broke in with, very grimlj'. "I was ready before you were," replied hi3 wife. "Great heavens !" cried Mr. Stiffle in irrcpressiblo impatience, jerking ti. 1 l i.:. a ...li. t hi3 horse's jaws out of place ; "just listen to that! And I sat out in front ten minutes, yelling at you to come along, until the whole neighborhood heard me !" "Yc3," acquiesced Mrs.-Stiffle, with the provoking placidity which no one can assume but a woman, "and every time I started down stairs you ssnt me back for some thing you had forgotten !" Mr. htinle groaned. "This is too much to bear," he said, "when everybody knows that was going around the world, I should just rush into the house, put on a clean shirt, seize my knapsack and fly ; while you would want at least six months for preliminary preparations, and then tlwadle about the whole day of starting until eve ry train had left town. Well, the upshot of the matter was that the Stiflles put off their visit until tho next week, and it wa3 agreed that each should get him or herself ready, and go down to the train and go, and the one who failed to get ready should be left. The day of the match came around in due time : the train was to go at l.oO, and Mr. Stiffle, after attending to his business, went home at 12: io. "Now, then," he shouted, "only three-quarters of an hour to train time. Look sharp a fair field and no favors, you know." Mr. Stiflle ran into his room and rushed through that, and dived into one closet after another with incon; ceivable rapidity, chuckling all the time under his breath to think haw cross Mrs. Stiflle would be when he started off alone. He stopped on his way up stairs to pull off his heavy boots to save time ; for the same reason he pulled off his coat as ho ran though the dinning room, and hung it on the corner of the sil ver elos.L Then he jerked oft' his yest as lie ran through the hall and tossed it on a hook on the hat-rack, and bv the time he reached his own room he was read to plunge into his clean clothes. He pulled out a bureau drawer, and began to rattle things like a scotch terrier after a rat. "Eleanor !" he shrieked, "Where are my clean shirts ?" "In'your drawer," calmly replied Mr3. Stiffle, who was standing plac idhy before a glass, calmly and delib erately coaxing a refractory, crimp into place. "Weil, but they ain't," touted Mr. Stiflle, a little annoved. "Ive emptied everything out of the draw er, and there isn t a shirt to.be seen. Mrs. Stiflle stepped back a few paces, held her heail to one side, and after satisfying herself that the crimp would do, and stay where she put it, repled : "Those things scattered about on the floor are all mine. Probably you havn't been looking in your own drawer." 9 "I don't see," testily observed Mr. Stiffle, "why you couldn't have put my things out for me, whcn'ou had nothing else to do all the morning !"' "Because," said Mrs. Stiffle, set tling herself into an additional arti cle of raiment with awful delibera tion, "nobody pubs mine out forme. A fair field at id no favors, my dear." Mr. Stiffle plunged into his shirt like a bull at a red flag. "Where are my shirt studs ?" he cried. Mrs.irtifile went out into another room and presently came back with her gloves and hat, and saw Mr. Stiille cmpting all the boxes he could find in and about the bureau. Then .she said : "In the shirt you took off." Mrs. Stiffle put on her gloves, while Mr. Stifile hunted up and down the room for his cull-buttons'. "Eleanor," he snarled at last, "I believe you know where those but tons are." j "I haven't seen them," said the lady, settling her hat. "Didn't you lay them on the window sill in the sitting room lost night ?" Mr. Stiflle remembered and he went down stairs on a run. He stepped on one of his boots and was immediately landed in the hall at the foot of the stairs with neatness and dispatch, attended in the trans mission with more bumps than he could count, and landed with a bang like an explosion. "Are you nearly ready, Algernon?" askcl tho wife of his bosom, sweet ly, leaning over the banisters. The unhappy man groaned. "Can't you tli row mo elown the other boot?" he asked. She pity ingly kickeel it to him. "My valise?" he inquired, as he tugged away at bis boot. "Up in your dressing room," she repled. -Packed?" - "I do not know unless you pack ed it yourself probably not, she replied, with her hand on tlie door knob. "I had hardly time to pack my own." She was passing out of the gate, when the . door- opened, and he shouted : "Where, in the name of goodness. did you put my vest ? It has all my money in it ?" ''VaII 4larlttT f rY f Iwi r Tv 1 1- " she called back. "Good bye, dear !" "Eleanor! Eleanor! Eleanor Stif- 1VU W j ID VII Via V.

Mr. Stitlle went home a sadder and a wiser man. He has come to the conclusion that women are ot some use after all, and that in fu ture he will make no bargain ne cessitating self help, even if connect ed with smiles. By the way, when Mrs. Stilile re turned, she bore him no malice in fact, she calmed him down by say ing that she had passed a miserable evening, and wished that he had been there. Old Rill Crldley.

An interesting story is told of a Joung wife who went West with her usband, and there encountered all sorts of "hard luck." Crops failee!, cattle died, the young farmer sicken ed. During all this time the young wife never grewdiscouraged.but did all in her power to keep her husband from getting "the . blues." But one morning the boy, who did the chores, came in and said he could not find old cow on the farm. So our heroine There is perhaps no tonic offered set out with the boy in search of the ; to tj,e public that possesses as much lost animal, and finally found her j intr;'nic vaiua the Hop Bitters, where she had fallen, over between i rIt at eeR3on 0f the year, when two lop dead.

And it proved to be true, for their luck changed from thattlay. The-ysold out their in terest in the farm and bought an other one, began over, and tday are well-to-do people.

The only conq'u-st of Mexico that is cont'on- ! .tc.i i-y the gentlemen who av now in that country with Oenoral (irant, or who stand behii.d Oeneral Grant, is the conquest we made of our own un developed domain when we built the great trans-continental railroads. Exactly as we assailed and con quered savage nature, and so achiev ed a conquest of our own territory, Mexico, assisted by capital, is to assail and conquer nature within her grand domain. There is not to day living a man of common srne who regards the annexation of Mexi co desirable. It certainly is not among the probabilities. Every jw rson of sagiu-ily recognized th:; necessity of a cks?r alliance with Mexico, but only an alliance which shall make her great and independ ent as a nation. Soon or late it will be the United States and Mexico, and probably Canada, against the Continent of Europe. Not, perhaps, in a clash of arms, though even that is possible, but as the arbiter of the destiny of the commercial world. Hence it is the noliev of f W Unt- ! ted States to develop their own enormous resources, and in every ( t a r . , i P0'1! w ay assist Mexico to de- j ve-ion its great resources.
