This wonderful earth goes ronnd and round, Turning over and over again, And the withers go and the summers come With their harvests of fruit and grain; For the glorious sun is shining for all, O'er tho boundless realms of space, Though into each life some storms must fall And winter creep on apace. To some appeirs the light of dawn, To others the setting sun ; Some hare finished the voyage of life, Which others have just begun. Over the hill-tops in the East The golden sunbeams play ; To those who belong to the upper crut Of old mother earth, it is day; 15ut to the antipodeViH'atli out feet, In China or in Japan, While we enjoy tho light of day. Their night hits just began. Vet W4-H we know the earth goes round, Turning oyer and over mrain; When theirs is the day and ours tho night And we need ncvereomplain. Ah! would it were so in affairs of life In this turbulent changing world. As amid its care and toil and strife. Our wheel of foitunc is whirled, ome fortunate winner draws a prize, And others only a blank : Some their lucky stars may praise, While others themselves may thank. A pauper stands at a rich man's hall, Begging for alms to-day; -To-morrow the rich man may lc jioor, As riches with wings fly away. Wealth and fame are bubbles that burst As the world goes round and round ; Truth and honor have nothing to fear, For they ever are uppermost found. Like the glorious sun forever fixed, They shed a brilliant light ; It is only man who changes so, Turning day into gloomy night. To-morroa lieggar may be a lord, In all that pertains to earth, If he strives to keep on the topmost side. In regard to honor and worth. No matter how dark the hour of night, The morrow is sure to come : As the sturdy old earth goes round and round One side is toward the sun. What matters, then, if it's night just now? We await the morning dawn ; Then never complain, keep pushing ahead, For the earth is rollirg on. Then keep your eyes aloft to the stars, When the darkest night appears ; And watch for the rising sun of light, As it shines through the endless years. TUK IIOX. JOHN CESSNA. Ol E CANDIDATE FOR JCDGE. The subject of this sketch was born June 19th, A. D. 1821, the son of a farmer of Bedford county, fa. His jrreat grand lather, whose name was John Cessna, was a member of the convention which framed the Constitution A 1776, and the grand father of the latter, also named John CVasiia, ramicr to IVnnevlvaiiia lu lb'.Nt, a Jlucuenot seeking Ireedom and liberty. John Cessna, in 1S42, graduated from Marshall College, at Mercers burg, now Franklin & Marshall Col lege, at Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He has been President of the Board of Trustees of that institution since the resignation of James Buchanan in 18Cj, re-elected unanimously each year since. In 1844 he was tutor of the Iitin language in his Alma Mater. In 184S he was a member of the Revenue Board, by appoint ment of Judge Black. A member of our Legislature in ISoO, '51, 'G2, and 'G3 : Sneaker of the House in 18-31 and again in 18G3, receivins at the end of each term a vote of thanks, every member present vot ing to compliment his integrity, fairness, and ability as a Speaker. During his two terms as .Speaker, no appeal was ever entered, and consequently no decision reversed, which indicates the scope of his ac curate knowledge of parliamentary law. In 1SG8 he was elected to the Forty-First, and again, in 1872, to the Forty-third Congress. There he was frequently called to preside over that body as Speaker pro tern., and in Committee of the Whole. Dur ing the memorable and important contest over the Civil Rights bill, Sneaker Blaine deputized him to take the chair, which he occupied through a whole night, and on all the many occasions of such service no appeal was ever taken from his decisions. To be worthy of the con fidence of the great Speaker, Mr. Blaine, and to be trusted with the mighty interests of the Republican Party on that momentous occasion when human righto and the sacred promise of his party were at stake was a great honor, which this dis tinguished leader of his party ex tended to John Cessna. This true and faithful servant of Bedford and the Ixyal People of this Common wealth, returned on every occasion the Speaker's Gavel dignified and not dishonored, ana thus he stands to-day a marked figure throughout this Continent of States. There is no public man in this State who has not met John Cessna in many State Conventions, nor any of note in the Nation who have not met him in National Conventions, where he was always a prominent figure, and his parliamentary skill and wisdom frequently guided those bodies quietly and safely to peace, good order and harmony. In his career as a lawyer he has shown marked ability and integrity. Admitted to the bar in 1845, he has been in active, constant practice ever since in Bedford, Fulton, Frank lin, Blair, Somerset, Huntingdon, and in other counties, and in the Supreme Court He has attended every session of the latter Court, in his district, since 1848, except two once on account of sickness, and once his duties as a member of Con gress prevented. The many volumes r f our State reports are a monument to John Cessna's skill and ability as a law yer. He has been executor, admin istrator, trustee, and guardian, for more than two hundred people, and in but one case was there an excep tion filed to his accounts, and that was withdrawn and costs paid by the party making it In 1865, in the Convention which nominated Major General Ilartranft for Audi tor General, the Hon. Thaddeus Stephens moved, in open Conven tion, that John Cessna be made Chairman of the State Central Com ESTABLISHED, 1827. mittee, which was done, and the state ticKet was eiecteu ny over twenty-two thousand majority, car lying every doubtful district in the State, legislative and Senatorial. Again, as Chairman of the Re publican State Committee of Penn sylvania, he distinguished himself to the whole country m the late canvass. At at an early stage he recognized the importance of secur ing the vote of Indiana for Garfield, and amid the bold x and defiant claims of the Democracy as to their ability to carry Pennsylvania, he announced that Indiana and Ohio should be the first care of the Key stone State, and while he organized his own he earnestly pressed the prime importance of making a cer tainty of tiioso ppoken 'of, and by constant pressure secured the aid which largely tended to accomplish desired results in those States. So valuable were his services in that direction that the Secretary of the Indiana State Committee, the Hon. V. II. II. Terrell, in a letter bearing date October 30, 1880. addressed to General James A. Ekin, late of Pitts burgh, recognized bis services in these words : "Glorious John Cess na 'held up our hands' ; with materi al aid, as if Indiana was in his own bailiwick. While others lacked faith in our ability to carry Indiana at the State election, John Cessna stood by us manfully and bravely." Among the records ol the Kepub- lican State Committee, is another letter from the Hon. John C. New, Chairman of the Republican State Committee of Indiana, which is ad dressed to ''Hon. John Cessna," and 6ays : "My dear sir, in acknowledg ing the receipt of your communica tion of the 28th inst, I desire first to say that my thanks are due to you, dating from the opening day of this campaign to to-day, lor your hearty co operation, generous sym pathy, and daily evidences of your intention to not only take excillent good care of Pennsylvania, but to give to Indiana the strongest help you can command. 1 have received from you more assistance, and more evidence of interest in our campaign work, than from any man cast cf the Alleghenies, and Indiana stands to-day under obligations to Hon. John Cessna." From another letter from the same source, of a later date, the following is extracted : "I am at a loss for words to express to you my thanks and gratitude for your untiring efforts in our behalf. In diana ha3 received from John Cess na and Philadelphia more aid than from all other sources combined. Thus much for the political fore sight, judgment, and ability of the subject of this sketch. As a Repub- ican politician, his views are broad er than the conhnes ot his own Btatc,-ml tmj Ohairmftirtif ourRe' publican State Committee, he not only moored Pennsylvania safely by a splendid majority in the harbor ot the Nation, but he reached out and was largely instrumental in placing the whole northern fleet alongside the Keystone. As a man, his history as a lawyer shows, he has the confidence and respect ot the people of the counties surround ing liiin. As an able defender of the principles of the Republican l'arty, he so worthy that the great eader, Blaine, has trusted him in a crisis, i'ennsvivania has no son with greater qualifications for an Honorable Judge than John Cessna. The Balij ronssa, of Malacca. This strange creature is notable for the curious manner in. which the tusks are arranged, four of these weajions being seen to project above the snout The tusks of the lower jaw project upward on each side of the upper, as in the case ot the or dinary boar of Europe, but those of the upper jaw are directed in a very strange manner. Their sockets, in stead of pointing downwards, are curved upwards, so that the tooth, in rilling the curvatures of the sock et, passes through a hole in the up per lip, and curls boldly over the lace. The curve, as well as the com parative size of these weapons, is extremely variable, and is seldom precisely the same in any two ani mals. The upper tusks do not seem to be employed as offensive weapons; indeed, in many instances they would be quite useless for such a purpose, as they are so strongly curved .that their pointa nearly reach the skin of the forehead. The female is devoid of these curious ap pendages. i rom all accounts, the babyrous- sa seems to be a very fierce and dan gerous animal, being possessed of great strength, and able to muict terrible wounds with the tusks of the lower jaw. A naval officer who had experienced several encounters with this creature, spoke of it with great respect, and seemed to hold its warlike abilities in some awe. The adult male babyroussa is con siderably larger than the boar of England, and the officer above men tioned says that he has seen them as large as donkeys. It is a very good swimmer, and will take to water for its own gratificationjjwim ming considerable distances without any apparent effort The skin of the babyroussa is rather smooth, being sparsely cov ered with short bristly hairs. The object of the upper tusk is at pres ent unknown, although certain old writers asserted that the animal was accustomed to suspend himself to branches by means of the append age. The babyroussa lives in nerds of considerable size, and is found inhabiting the marshy parts of its native soil.

He was one of the statliest young gentlemen that ever stepped, wedded to the proprieties and con ventionalities, with a precision of manner that would have been prig gish had he not been of suhc superb stature and shape that it became al most majestic had it not been for his beauty of countenance, and for an intellect more than common. Of an old family, of moderate weallh, with a good legal practice end with a fine political outlook, what fate, asked the gossips of the air, led him to the side of Kate Rivers ? For Kate Rivers was the very op posite of Mr. Maurice in all respects young, child-like, everybodys friend, with no perception of differ ence of rank or degree, full of mis chief and gaiety and light good hu mor a nature utterly incompatible with that of the haughty young gentleman who stepped on the earth as if he made it One would naturally have suppos ed that it would need be something quite the antipodes of this that would have attracted Mr. Maurice ; something cold, chiseled, with man ners having the cold glitter of an ice berg: and one could only premise trouble if such incongruous elements as these came together. That she should have admired him was not at all remarkable : but what in the world did he see in her ? He was on the bright Mav dav that he went into the county to call on his step-mother who was visiting there, and sauntering over the ground of hie hostess, found himself in inose oi me next place no saw a child asleep upon a bank of vio lets, a rosy young girl, exquisite as a beautifully carved piece of mar ble, with one arm tossed about her head, rising round and lovely from its purple pillow, the nut brown hair blowing about the ivory brow and bosom. He seated himself on an old vine covered tree trunk and surveyed her; and the more he gaz ed the more eneffaceably that sleep ing face was stamped on heart and brain ; and he was just becoming aware that he was taking an enor mous liberty, when she opened a large pair of half affrayed blue eyes, and he felt that the time he had gazed was long enough to have given him something like familiar acquaint ance. "Can you tell me," he said, in his most reassuring manner, "on whose grounds I am trespassing ?" On mine, sir, said the voung thing, half rising. " lou are then "Kate Rivers. And I suppose you - euro nay . eouain - raaow. - - A herd you were coming. .Mrs. Man- ton said she would bring vou over" "Fate did me that kindness first" said Mr. Maurice, gravely. "But r' "Ah. well, she said, tmicklv, "it doesn't matter, so long a3 you are here. Mrs. Stanton said you would be so interested in the old manor, it has so many of your ancestor's portraits on the walls, as well as mine." And she arose, and before he quite understood it they were walking on together. -Will you come up ?" she said. "How stupid of me not to have asked for your family! Are they with you? Is your wife well ? Is " "I 1 haven t any wile, said .Mr. Vincent Maurice. "No wife! What do you mean? Surely " "But here, probably lest he had lost his wile, and her words be recalling painful memories, 6hc stopped herself and ran after a flower she espied. "There!" she exclaimed, " I knew there must be some left still P coming back pres ently with her hands full of straw beds. Don t you love them r she said. "They don't know whether they are flowers or grass, and they are shy about it. They seem tome to be full ot all the happiness that there is to be in summer." "I suppose you find a great deal of happiness in summer, then?" "Oh, always! 1 he days are not half long enough. Are they for you?" "1 don l know, ncmetimcs, per haps too long." "Ah, now, you don't mean to say you're like that Mr. Vincent Mau rice who is coming to visit .urs. Stanton" "May I ask you what is the mat ter with Mr. Vincent Maurice?" "His name, I guess. Vincent, conquering and he sighs for more worlds." "Blise?" "I hate the word! How can any body be that in so beautiful a world as this? How does any one man suppose there is nothing more to learn or enjoy in all this universe of beauty, of art, of the secrets of sci ence? And presently they were deep in a discussion of favorite ideas and theories, all of which the pretty creature had evidently thought for herself, whether wise or foolish in her loneliness, for she was too young to have read or studied much ; and all the time they were talking she was darting off in pursuit of a leaf or a butterfly, or of the greyhounds that had just joined them, returning to his side in a confiding way that Mr. Vincent Maurice found inde scribably agreeable, with a sweet bright innocence that he had not met before and all the time so beautiful ! Here they sat down on a big rock ; here they went leisurely strolling up the path, and it was all of an hour before they reached the door of the manor. "Now," she said, "I will introduce yon to your aunts and ancles and grandfathers, the pretty Priscilla in her jonquil blossom brocade, the staid old Mra. Marga ret in heT black lace. I wonder what they will think of you some how yon are not at all like what I thought my cousin Francis would be" "Very naturally," said Mr. Mau rice, finding it impossible to enter the house itself under his alias, "for I am not your cousin Francis. "What! Not? Not my cousin Francis? Who, then are you?" cried the young beauty in a quick flame of indignation, in which to eraM say the truth, she looked lovelier than ever. And for all answer Miss Kate Rivers clapped her hands upon her face, ran away around the piazza. and behind the lattices, and out of sight as fast as her feet could ny. It was not a very promising be ginning, but lightning falls where it will, and Mr. Vincent Maurice was very nearly in love. He came over in state next day, with his mother and Mrs. Stanton, to make the peace ; and perhaps because he found the maiden refractory he became all the more in earnest, and before the week had passed it was all over with him, and he felt life was not worth living without Kate Rivera. And little Kate, who had known not a doznn men in all hfr life, and never had a lover, when her indignation had died off, had all her defences down, and thought so fine, so charming, so ideal, so per fect a gentleman had never been completed on this earth as Vincent Maurice was, returned his love with idolatry. V ell, it was a season of rapture, that surnmerr It seemed to Kate that happiness could go no further than sitting by Vincent's side, row ing in the river opposite him, riding through the forest ways, with all the glorious greens and glooms and sunlit spaces about them. Happi ness made her more of a child than ever; she could hardly walk lor dancing, she could hardly speak for singing ; a bird, a bubble, any light and airy thing, was less light and airy, less gay and sparkling than she. At first Mr. Vincent Maurice found this simply intoxicating; and perhaps it would .still have been as much so if at the end of a month of it he had not brought down Mr. Geoflry, a peculiarly staid and ele gant counterpartjof himself, and all at once seen these gay, frank ways with that friend's disapproving eyes. The friend's eyes supplied a new point of view. It was the first sen sation that he had had that she was not altogether faultless, but it was not the last. When he came from the city at another time and found her trimming the chapel for some festival, sitting on the top of a pair of steps and wrapt round and round by some of the rustic youths, with the long oak-leaf garland with which the walls above were festooned, till she looked like a draad, when, see ing him, she stood up, breaking all the green bonds asunder, and sprang down the stairs to his side, he met her with words which under the cir cumstances, were a sharp rebuke. It became rather frequent after that, presently almost constant At the end of another month it was not poetry und love that filled their en tire ni vernation, Put Vlneeotr Mem- j rice w is endeavoring to formulate a code of manners. Would she walk and not skip ? would she tilk, and not sing? would she listen, and not laugh ? would she leave her pranks, and be serious ? Was this perpetual merriment only for the sake of dis playing her dimples? Va3 she go ing to wear her curls in her neck forever? For heaven's sake what does she mean by allowing these bumpkins to address her by her Christian name the woman who was going to be his wife? Would she always be a rural hoiden, and never a women of the world? Wasn't it time she cultivated some repose of manner? And did she never intend to speak without blush ing? Under this pressure Kate's gayety became a very forced thing, and half the interim" of his absences she spent in tears. "If you object to my dimples you are taking a fine way to smooth tliem out," she cried. "And i few such speeches as that would make the Ioviest lips disgust ing," he answered. But there was a spirit in her that made it impossible yet to give up her individuality. She would have done anything under the sun to please him; but it would have been somebody else and not herself, had she done " this and then the sight of him made her so happy, and the moment she was happy the old exuberance of spirit would as sert itself. But the sight of him was getting to be not so frequent ao it had been, and she was drooping visibly under the neglect One early September ailernoon, however, he came, and came un expectedly, to find her in a field surrounded by a group of children, crowned as they were, with a coro net of ripe grains and straws, bear ing strong resemblance to the bead dresses of Madge Wildfire, and toss ing together with them the haycocks of the aftermath, in which they had all been tumbling. He stood looking on in haughty disapproval. As- soon as she could she disengaged herself lrom her little people and from her harvest crown, and came to his side. "I wonder you could leave such companionship for mine at all," said he sum, lor greeting. "Why, Vincent, certainly, she began, falteringly, and with chang ing color. "Certainly what? ' he asked. "It is their holiday," she said. taking courage from his rudeness. "And you would not wish to de prive them of it and they are so used to me, it would not seem holi day without me." "As much child as thev. Are you never going to be a woman ?"' i . -w a a a -a a J l leel already nice an old one when you speak to me so." He softened a little at that "The fact is," he said, "that you ought to go away. 1 ou ougnt to pee the world. My mother must tike you to New York, this winter, and to Newport for a fortnight, now, before it ia quite to late, and you might learn how it is that other women conduct women that have learn ed how to play their part in the world, which you certainly have not yet learned, and which as if you never would. Do you think I shall have any pleasure in marrying and taking among my Washington friends a " She had been growing whiter and whiter listening to him. She saw that the end had come. But, for bis part, be was as much astonish ed, in his supreme self concentra WHOLE NO. 1580. tion, as if it had lightened out of a blue sky, when her voice rang out "Stop ! I do not think you will find any pleasure in marrying mc. I understand that we are totally unfil ed for each other. I hope you will find a better bred woman. Good bye." And then she was gone, and she had called the children ; and whatever it cost her to do do it, she was frolicking with them as before, let her heart break or not. Mr. Vincent Maurice was speech less with indignation and amaze ment But he had no idea that his engagement was broken how could it be when he had not broken it He turned and walked up to the house, but when, after an hour, she did not follow him, he went to the inn and thence to M". Stanton's for the evening; and receiving word that there was no answer on send ing up a card in the morning, he ri turned to town. It was not till a letter made up of equal parts of reproach, anger and love, was remailed to him unopen ed, that he began to think the mat ter serious, and to ask himself if he had not made a mistake. When Saturday came, although badlv in- jured,he could not help going down again ; he felt after all, as if he must see the lovely face again, again touch the sweet lips ; h hardly knew how to wait longer for the pressure of the dear arms. But the house was clos ed. The two old servants left in charge said they had no instructions except to "stay on." And nobody could say whither Miss Rivera was gone. Nobody knew, in fact, that she had anywhere to go to, it being generally supposed she wa3 that fortunate being born to a good es tate without relatives, her cousin Francis Rivers and his wife being quite overlooked. But it was to the shelter of her cousin Francis River's Newport vil la that she had taken herself, a wel come guest, during the two months that they lingered there after the full swing of fashion was over ; and when they returned to their home in Philadelphia, after around of ele gant if rather quiet gayeties there, she departed with him and h'n wife for a European tour, and all that Mr. Vincent Maurice heard of her for the next two years, was a notice in some newspaper that .Mrs. Fran cis Rivers and Miss Kate Rivers had been presented to the mieen by the American minister, an I the beauty and exquisite dress of .lie younger lady had created a sensation in the Drawing-room. Doubtless Mr. Mac ice trould have been quite pleased with Kate could he have seen her a. that time. The sorrow of an almost broken heart, the loneliness following the lost love, the regret of not pleasing, ttrerth.i'T'air'ejT' ter4rtg-iblcr lc enj, every thought and word of all which she kept to herself, had taken away the overflowing 'spirits which had been so offensive, and she had un consciously contracted something of the more gentle ways of those about her, growing, indeed, so list less and apathetic that at last her cousin Francis lightly reproached her indolent want of sympathy with everything she who had sympa thized with the very flies upon the pane. JBut the reproach, good natur ed as it was, brought such a flood j of tears, such a nervous reaction,that ! a physician was summoned, who or- dered her to bed ; and once there she did not leave it for many weeks. V hen at last she came out into the open air again, that lire had utterly burned out, and its ashes were cast to the wfruR It seemed to be a new world about her, and she took as vivid an interest in it as if she was herself new born to it. It was a new world the world of art ; for they were in France, and that was followed by Rome and Na ples, by Venice and Dresden and Munich, by some stay in Paris, by a London season. If at the end ot it all the child of nature had not been transformed into the brilliantly arti ficial woman of the saloon it was be cause of the gentle wisdom of her cousins, who knew just whereto stimulate and where to repress, un til the graciously developed brain and soul were evident perhaps a trifle sooner than they would have been otherwise, for Mr. Vincent Maurice need not have troubled himself with any fear that when the bud was already so lovely, the full blossom would be less perfect if he had but given it time to bloom, in stead of tearing it rudely open. He was not a very happy man in those days; he remembered with increasing bitterness the brief hap piness of other days. He longed now with all his heart to see Kate Rivers once again, that all would then soon and easily be made right His longing was answered; he saw her again. It was in the court of the Grand Union at Saratoga, one evening when the electric light was burning, and the fountain blushed in the hues of all the precious stones, and the trees wayed their boughs through vast lights and shadows, under which the people moved fantastically while the band breathed its music. A group step ped out from amotig the others, and went in from the night air. He followed, and saw them again in the ball-room. Count Beaurepaire he had seen him before a tall, heroic looking man, attached to the French legation, or in W ashmgton, rather. on a special mission, remaps n was Mrs. Rivers on his arm : just after them came General Francis Rivers, and with him could it be possible? Kate? His Kate. A woman whose rounded shape wore its lace and silk raiment as a hand wears its glove; whose face, with its tinting of rose and ivory, with its nut-brown hair in Raffaelle locks about the snowy brow, with its great innocent blue eyes half contradict ed by the archness of the smile run ning over in dimples, was the face of his dreams, of his ideal, of Kate Rivers as he had never dared hope to see her. He sprang forward ; but they had paused only one moment, and then Count Beaurepaire had bent before her with a questioning air, and they were gliding down the room togeth er in a waltz that made Mr. Vincent Maurice gnash his teeth. She was taken back to her cousins presently, ind the count drew about h-r tin . twans down wrap that Mr. Rivers had held, and they went out on the niazza. and she paused within a yam if him, without dreaming of the eager, pallid fitce, without seeing hiru, without seeing the quick move ment, the half outstretched hand, as unconcerned, lifting the spotless lace of her train, as if he were a waiter HtandiDg there, ami passing on into the moonlight, in the snowy i flutter of her drapery and Ihewft wiiiie tiown oi nor manue, a vision of maidenly grace, almost too lovely to be reaL No sleep yisited his pil low that night; the vision hung be fore his eyes ; he heard as one hears a bell in his ears, the warm, rich tones, the low, sweet laugh, in which she seemed to be rehearsing the scenes of a- life with which he had nothing to do scenes of a summer in France at the old - chateau of the Bcaureparies, famous in song and story. lie was haggard as he looked at himself in the glass next day, but he could endure to wait no "furth er; perhaps his very haggardness would fight on his side, for he began to see himself not altogether as a conquering hero. As soon as he dared he sent his card to Mrs. Riv er's parlor, and having tipped the Bervant, followed him boldly up. "Maurice ? Maurice ?" he heard Mrs. Francis Rivers say, holding his card, the door ajar. "Put down your book, Kate. Do you known anybody of the name Vincent Maurice f "Vincent Maurice? Oh, yes," came the musical tones again. "I used to know him very well. We were great friends once. To tell you the truth, Mary, I used to think he was the one man in the world. Why do you ask ?" "Don't you hear? This is hi card. Will you see him. You are so absorbed in that Daudet " "That the servant's rap didn't penetrate the atmosphere I was liv ing in. Unhealthy stuff ; I musn't read any more of them. See him ? Well, no, I think not The hones . will be at the door in half an hour, and I would like to finish this chap ter" He did not stay to hear any more. He stood leaning against a pillar some hours after, on the return of the riders, he saw her sitting on her horse like Di Vernon; saw her com panion bending over her one mo ment too long as he lifted her from the saddle, while the grooms held the horses ; saw the quick color come to her cheek with a deeper damask as he did so ; and then she had swept by, and he heard this and that, excited comment what dazzling beauty ! what combination of gracious ease and proud reserve ! what strange union of the sweetest maidenliness with the savoir-ture of a woman of a world ! He turned away ; his haggard face, his tortur ed heart, were nothing to this wo man of the world. Yet he meant to see her ; he meant to force the past upon her, to stir the ashes, ,to wake a spark from the ashes ; but the next morning the party had gone. His step-mother wrote him a month further on : "Such fine do ings as there are at the old manor house here ! Kate Rivers has return ed with a gay company to bid it good-bye, and she has been giving the children such festals ! Ah, Vin cent, why didn't you follow np your fancy that summer ? Anything more exquisite than she in beauty and in manner I have failed to see. (Mir; tiaer'tlie cur trt a pviubcsa jture be fore her coronation. And bo 3he is. For they have found coal on the old manor place, and operations are to be begun at once. They say the in come will be enormous. She will will not need it with all the rest she has ; still, it will do her no harm in France to have revenues of her own. She is a little sad though, to let the old place go for all. But the Cha teau Beaurepaire is infinitely more beautiful, she says ; hundreds of i-ears old, and historic ; on an is and in a lake, with wooded hills in closing it beyond the gardens and deep glades and forests." lie did not understand the letter. Why wa3 his mother writing to him about the Chateau Beaurepaire. That was the scattering way in which she always ran on. And what did he care for the revenue of coal lands ? It was not money he wanted ; no one could say that All he gathered from the letter was that Kate was going to France again. If she did he would follow her. And he cursed the broken ankle that was now keeping him prisoner where he was. He had written to her, twice and thrice, but he had not sent the letters ; those that had come back unopened once seemed to bar the way. And then he felt as if hia presence, his eyes, his voice, his words, were more effective than any silent writings. He did not answer his step-mother's note, and her cor respondence was always at long in tervals. Some business, however sent him to Washington in the very early win ter, although before he felt hardly able to be out And as most doors were opened before him, he found himself one night at a reception at the British minister's. Such things were old stories to him ; he did not know why he had come ; because others did, he supposed because Geoffrey wanted to be taken ; and he was leaning listlessly against a pedestal under a bronze bust of Ne mesis, when a party lifted the curtain, coming in from nn adjoin ing room, and he started, for it was Kate Rivers. If she had stepped out from the gates of sunrise she might have looked the same the same dimp ling blushes, the same intense hap piness in the royal smile, the same starry eyes ; she would have worn that same palest peach bloom, bro cades, frosted with lace and with diamonds, the same great sapphires and diamonds in her nut brown hair. As it happened, she paused just before him, and before he knew it he had extended his hand. "Kate!" he had cried, half under his breatn, pale as a sheeted ghost She turned and looked at him a moment with that radiant but calm composure. "Ah, indeed !" she said then, in her low, clear tones. "It is an old friend," and she extended her hand. "Mr. Maurice, let mepresent you to my husband, Count Beaure paire." There were a couple of glances, a couple of brief sentence", and the party moved on. and left him. "You are changed," he had murmured between his stiff and freezing lips. "Oh, no,"he answered, lightly, I have only become a woman of the world.' Uarvfr'i Bazar. Kahoka, Mo., eb. 9, 1830.
