Til tei! yoa a'.l about it," aaid Jack. We had been conTeraDg on the subject of Betty Garland's marriage. She was a faTorite with all who were not narrow minded enough to be jealouaof her beau ty and her sochtl eocceaeea. She w&a one of the p ettiest one of the brightest and beat one of the purest and most trust ful, as well as one of the merriest and happiest I erer knew, or set eyea upon. She as a pri'l body I tLLnk the short est and njost fairylike of her ec-L And EJch a Toiee! Her singing was mo&ic indeed. I shall always persist in declar ing it the saeetrtt and purest roice I ever heard. She was an orphan both her parents dead and they had died poor. Shs had fined a home with her mother's sister, Mrs. Susan Borden, a gent'ie-wonaan of large pretensions on small means. There were two daughters, Kate, aged twenty- two, and Cynthia, aged twenty. The younjer children were ail boys. XAto- rally, under the circumstances, poor Eet- ting becan.e a regular Cinderella in the family. The present end and aim of Madam Borden's life was to see her two daughters well married and settled in fe. Her own affairs were in such a plight that the time con'd not be far dis tant when somebody would hare to find home and subsistence for self. Jack said he would tell as all about it ; aad he proceeded to tell us as follows : Last summer, as you remember, we spent at Newcastle. Madam whea J. say Madam, I mean Mrs. Borden wit a her two daughters, and Betty Garland, and her son Thomas, a lad of fifteen, and a brick, were cf our number. We had heard that a yousg ma: from the Pacific Slope a very Croesus of wealth, and, withal, good-looking had engaged rooics in tbe house for himself and valet, and stalls in the stables for his horses. Madam was on the qii n'r, as were her daughter?, and as were numerous other marrwgeble women, of arious and un certain afe"s. The host had informed them that the young man woold surely come. In fact, two of his horses, with his w-rvant, were expected at any mo mct Florentine St. Denis was his came. The host believed him to be an orphan, who had inherited wealth from one of the original gold-finders ; and who had more than doubled Lis fortune since it had come into his possession. "At all events," said Boniface, "I know him to be worth morj much more than a million." Ah! hat a catch it would be! Mad am ventured the expense of two new silks for her daughters; and, falhermore, took the precaution of quartering Betty Garland ith the opper servants of the iriests. She was too fair too beautiful to be aliomed in open and continuous contrast with her daughters. And other women went to ail Krta of expense in adornments and be itching furbelows. One pleasant, early June afternoon ar rived Frank Amberly, the millionaire's servant, with a third horse tBe moet beautiful horse, everybody said, they had ever sen. And on the following day the handsomest sail -boat came don from Portsmouth that had ever floated oa thoee waters. It wis Mr. St. Denis's boat, and Frank Amberly at once took charge of it, and secured it at tbe land ing, hich had been bespeken some lime before. As f.r F'.-ank Amberly, Le was a gay fellow, bright-faced and siuiiing, kindly and polite to every one Madam, and others all excellent ju Jgt-s said he was tlie beau ideal of a pro:r servant. His a-e might have been four or five-miid-teniy not more than that. Tom Eordea took to him at once. Tom had hU eye on the boat, and on one oftheherses. On the evening of the day of Amber !y'B arrival, the landlord informed his guests that Mr. St. Denis had leen de tained in Washington on tusineai, and could not be with them for a week, or two; bat h Jcarruoge-horses were at the service of any of the guest wh should be so fortunate as to secure the good ill of his servant ; for, of course, neither horses cor boat would go without Frank Am berly at the reins cf helm. A full week passed, during which the valet Frank was very quiet, but very observing He bad made a fkst friend of Torn. MadAm weald Lave objected to the association, had she not feared that it might somehow work against her daughter's Interest. She wonld not for the world g-t the ill-will of this servant, who seemed to stand so high in his mas ter's confidence aal esteem. It was on the third day ofAmberly's stay at the house, and be and Tom were at work getting the boat ready for a tail. "Tom, who ia that girl yoor mother and sisters call Betty?" the valet asked, very quietly ; but a close observer might have seen a depth of interest not suffered to appear. "Ho!" cried the boy, rapturously. Con ein Betty was the one being in the world whom he loved with all his heart tbe one metuber of the family who had a! ways been to him kind, lovingand hope ful. "Ho ! she's a trump 1 I tell yoa, Frank, she's just the best and the sweet eat and tbe tmthfuilest girl I know. Ah ESTABLISHED 1827. she's what I call a jewel. Jimniioy! why not call her an angel, and have done with it?" "But, Tom, who is she?. What ia sheT "Why, she's my cousin. Her mother was iay Aunt Elizabeth, and that's what Betty's rest name is ; bat they've always called her Betty for short. Her mother was my mother's sister. Her folks died, and left her poor as poor could be ; so mother took her in." "And now what is she?" "Well, Frank, I should gay she was a Say ! Do yoi ever read the story of 'Little Cinderella, or the Glass S.ip psr?'" -Yes." "Well, that's what Betty, ie Cinderel la! But thonder! don't yoa let on that I said so." "Never fear, Tom." And that evening Master Tom had a ride on Saiadin, the beautiful Arabian the 6rst, other than the valet himself, who had been permitted to mount cposi bis hack. "Oh 1" said the boy, a hen be came back, and the men in tbe stable were rubbing the horses down, "I wish Betty could ride him ! Wouldn't she ecjjy it ! "Can she ride, Toui?" "Can she? Ride! I wish yon could see her. Sam BanSeld he's our riding master at Jacksonville says she's the beat be ever saw. He says she rides just as though she was part of the horse if yoa can nnderstaad what that means." "Yes, I understand very welL And now, Tom, suppose yon bring yocr cousin oat some day to look at the hore. I wonld like her opinion of him. Can it not be to-morrow morning before break fast ? I notice that she is an early riser. Or what is better still if yon and she will come oat, say, about six, or.half-past five, yoa shall enjoy an early ride. She shall have ajtiadln, and yoa shall ride one of the mustangs. ' What say you?" Tom was in ecstacies. At nine o'clock that evening he met Amberly, and told him Betty would come. Poor Betty ! Of coarse she would go. Since she had been there, while others had been enjoying themselves, she had been drudging, drudging, drudging. And more than tbst, forced to quarter with servants. But uhy net? What was she but a servant? She was litsrilly earn ing her bread hy the sweat of her brow. At first she Lad refu-ed Tom's invitation, or, as she knew it to be Frank Amber ly 's invitation in fear and trembling. More than once she bad met the earnest ga of the man, and,she could cot hide from herscif the fact that he had looked aimirtng!y. And why not? How could she shut oat the knowledge that her ace and her form were beautiful ? Bat, in the end, Tom had conquered. His words that had effected the conquest had been these : "Bettv. if tot don't find joy and happiness in your young life when it is held out to you, how will you ever expect to find it? Dant let Kate and Cynth, have all the fun, while yoa put up with all the Lard work. Come! O! such a oaagnificcnt hore 1 There never was his like!" So it came to pass thaton the following morning, which was one of the loveliest of the loveliest month of the year, at ex actly half-past five o'clock, Betty Gar'aad locked for the world like a new-blown blush-rose, in a pretty riding-habit she had brought it without her aunt's knowledge with Tom in company, ap peared at the stable, where Frank Am berly had three horses handsomely ca parisoned, the beautiful side-saddle be ing on Saladin's back. "O, I am glad yoa are going sir T Betty barat oat, frankly aad ardently. "Are you, truly?" Araberly a-kej with a wondrous light in Lis large blue eyes. "Yes, sir. I shall feel eafer. Tom is a dear good boy, and I think he would ran great risas fjr me ; bat he is not ex perienced in managing horses. "Yoa are right, my dear lady. Tom is pure go! !, but" "Corce ! I say ! that's ehacV "No, no, Too not a bit of it. Yoa are as good as you caa be ; but, as your iir cousin says, yoa are not quite so experi enced in the management of hordes as I am." And to this Tom subscribed. Betty looked at Frank Amberley from the corners of her eyes, and she was for ced to admit that she had never seen a handsomer man. And then he appeared to be as good as he was handsome. Wit cess ho a- good he had been to Tern and to herself. And his garb, too, was thAtof a gentleman. He wore na jewel ry, no ornament of acy kind. His watch guard was but a simple b'ack ribbon, bat she observed that the wat-;h at the end of the luust magnificent she Lad ever seen goid-ca?ed, of coarse. He Amberley assisted her to her saddle, and he rode by her side the whole distance. Tom was moantsd opon a sxift but easily managed horse, and he shot on ahead most of the time. It was a long aad delightful ride. '-Shall we take a spin for a long dis tance? Frank said, when they bad been oat fiiteen or twenty minutes, and the animals had become toned down and sober. ' Ob, yes; I shoald like it Tery mach." "Then hold with a firm band. Trust Saiadin. Now we go!" a And away they went. It was wonder ful ! Never had she cut the air like that before. In all her riding she had never even imagined such spee J. TenminaUw they sped on, covering five miles or more; and then they drew op. Tom cacae is a few seconds only behind, and in ecstacies. In ahort, it wai a very hap py party. They reached home before the princi pal guests of the house had come from their chamber, and before they had sep arated it had been arranged that they woold have another ride on the follow ing morning, should the weather prove favorable. That day Amberley was captured by Madam and her two daughters. He was to give tbem a sail in his master's boat. Tom, in tbe course of preparation, sug gested to his mother that they onght to ask Betty to go with them. "Why, boy! Would yoa rink the boatr Betty did cot go ; the reason was thia, axplained by MaJaiu to her daughters: -If we allow her to Accompany as now, while only the servant Is here in charge bow caa we get rid of her when Mr. St. Denis comes? The valet will tell bis j master that we have another member of oar family one whom we suffered to ac company ns while only he was with us, but whom w have kept out of sight from him tbe master. No, no ; that will never do. The chances are that the gen tleman would ak to see Miss Garland. He might feel hischivalry aroused. Don't yoa see?" Aye, they the daughters had seen it from the first They would not have Betty's face "stack cp.'as they express ed it, along aside of ours !" But never mind the sails in the boat, nor the drives in the great, easy carryall, to which Amberly treated Madam and her fair daughters. He did all this be cause they demanded it , and the de manded it because Florentine $L Denis had Informed the landlord that his boat, coach-borseo, and bis servant, were at the service of the guests of the boose. Never mind tbe sails and the coach rides. There were beautiful moonlit evenings, when the breew was gentle and Cur; and then Amberley and Tom, and Betty Garland, sailed away over the ailvery billows in the boat. They ran down by the Whale's Back, and out to the L!e of Shoals ; and once or twice it was past midnight when they returned. And there were other beautiful to jrn inps, on which Betty, mounted upon Saiadin, with I rank at herside, and Tom either ahead or in the rear, rode away buoyant and happy. Saiadin had come to know the lovely girt, and manifested his love and devotion ha strong attach ment to her in a language not to be mis understood. At length the climax came. Ose calm, pleasant evening, instead of going ia the boat, Frank aeked Betty if she would walk with him. Sotriething in Lis look in his voice and in the tonch of his hand, startle.! Ler, and thrilled her through and through; tut she went with him. At a certain point of their wa'k oa the shore of the sea, locking off upon the boundless waste of moonlit waters they stopped. Amberly took the band of his companion and looked down into her upturned face. His eyea told the story, even before a word was spoken. "Bstty," he said, tenderly and elo quently, "yoa must listen while I e pea It to yoa a few words. Leas upon me, please. There! Now, Darling, listen. I ran say fur myself lam an honorable man; ray naaie is untarnished. I am able, thanks to a kind friend who was my master, to support a wife. If yoa will be that wife, I will love yoa to the end, as I do now, with all my heart and all ray strength ; and I caa give you a comfortable home, where yoa shall be my aDgel my queen ! What say yoa ! Betty ! 1 think yoa love me a little." She could not speak at once, but it came very soon. She loved him, and ha leaved ti n from the first. His good ness to Tom had first attracted her atten tion, and beyond that his goodness to herself had completed the conquest. "You are of age, Betty ?" "Yes. I was tenty-one last Tecem ber." "Then yoa may answer for yourself." Her answer was whimpered on his bo som, with his strong arms aroaad her, holding her close to the heart that was hers foreveroiore. She felt it she knew it and was happy. On tbe next day Betty electrified Ler aunt and her cousin by informirg them of her marriage engagement with Frank Amberly. At first they professed to be horrified. Thst she Bitty shoald be marriei before Kate or Cynthia. as hard to think of. The girls were horri Cel becAUe this man ia question was really a handsome man almost the handsomest they had ever seen and he had never so much is given them a warm, pleaaant smile. But their mother gave them a oothicg potion: "Pear giils, the young txaa knew his Lumble place. How would he dare to lift Lis eyes to yoa?" Tsis in Betty's presence ; but it did net hurt her. It rather pleas ed her, because sl.e plainly saw the tali and the wormwood beneath. Amberly Lad referred Mrs. Borden to the landlord fjr information regarding bis character, habits, position in life, Ac So to the landlord she went; and having been assured by tiin that Mr. Amberly was all that he professed to be having beard him soberly declare that he would willingly and cheerfully give a daughter of his own, if he had one old enough to be the young man's wife and having thought the ualter over in ail its bear ings, she cheerfully gave Ler cocfea.

One of our western dioceses is presi led. over by a bishop distinguished for his eloquence and ear jestnesa. It is Lis hab it as he approaches the end of a sermon to clote Lis manuscript and finish his discourse by an extern poraneoos appeal to the conscience of his hearers. On the occaeion of one of his visits to a pioneer settlement in bis jurisdiction he conducted service in a school-boose, which stood upon a beautiful aninclosed common, on which ranged at will the cattle of the neighborhood. It was a beaatiful Send ay afternoon in June, warn, but breezy, and by no means oppressive. The neat white school bouse was well filled with aa attentive audi ence, and ail the windows which reach ed nearly to the ground were raised in order to admit a free circulation of ths air. Among the cattle that bad collect ed on the shady side of the school house was a rouh locking but venerable and solr donkey. The dc-iikey remained quiet and con- tented near one of the side windows, be- side the bishop, during the reading of the service. The bisUop ended his didcocrre and preached an iu; reesive sermon, and as was his habit beforeentering upon a par ticular exhortation Le closed bis manu script Looking attentively at his con gregation and waiting for an instant un til there was perfect silence, be said in a deep, low and impressive tone: "And now, beloved, what think yoaof these things V The w:rJs were scarcely out of hi mouth when the donkey thrust his head through the open window and gave one of thoee horrid, terrible, cnearthly screams that no creature bat one of his kind can give, and of which no word can convey aa adequate idea. The bishop, though a man of coolness, was very much flurried. Uface turned all colors and he could not utter a word, while the congregation stuffed their pray erbook, handkerchiefs and hands into their mouths in oidt-r to keep back a uni versal exhibition of laughter. The bys and girls lasghed outright Very soon, ho wiTer, perfect silence pre vailed again and the bishop, biting Lis lips, commenced in a solemn . and deep tone : " I say, my brethren, what think yoa of these things?" Once more, at the very instant, caa.? the terrible deafening screech of the mel ancholy locking beast, as if in answer to I he bishop's earnest question. This was too much. In less than a minute the sermon, benediction and all was ended, tLe buUding was emptied aad the peo ple, convulsed with lacthter, were mak ing their way homeward. The Umbrella 13 Very Valua ble.

Her affection in such inetancea is guided by ber heart rather than by her reas n, yet the argument arises from soch a statement, " Is not the heart tbe only factor to be taken into considera tion in all love affairs? Ah, no; that idea has long sine been exploded. All the world fur love, and the world well lost, is very charming in theory, but sadly deficient when one seixes upon actuality and endeavors to live np to such a pretty principle. The true anion of souls is founded primarily on reap-. The maa w ho sees in a wo man qualities of mind and character that compel Lis admiration and win the ap probation of that inner self that is con tinually soaring toward purer and better things will find, if his love becomes like wise involved, that he haa (banded Lis affections on a rock that is never shat tered, even when personal beauty and the charms cf ear! v vocth are vanished ' ,-ever. With a woccan, she may love a Ibrok en reed as fondly as sue could a man whoee fellow beings retard as their sq periur. There is so much of the mater nal in every woataa's heartsong that she may poar oat the treasure of her affec tions at the feet of one utterly unworthy, yet there will never be fr her even though that affection be returned with e-j'ial ardor, the j y and pride that glows in the heart of the aife or sweet heart of tae a ho is cniveisaiiy respect ed.

War on the Veterans. From the 5. T. Pia. The j1 iier haticg Ivraocrary is ia the sj.1 lie and the assault on the t'aion vet eraits has bec.ua. The Copper heads of the North akose representatives com sated a IVmocratic candidate for Presi dent on a platform declaring the war 4or the Union a taiiore, hae united with the Confederate Bourbons of tlie South in de manding that the payment of pensions shall be cut down. Before the election Democratic news papers were filled with hypocritical as surances of affection for Umoa veterans and respect for their ciaiaisoa the coun try's gratitude. The aecfeiity for dinaioa aiation is now over. A Democratic Pres ident whoee hostility toward the mea who bore arm ia the defense cf the na tion found expression in along series of sneering and enmanly pension vetoes has been elected. The Hjuse is Demo cratic. The Senate, for many years the bulwark of Americanism, Las been stormed by the mea whose political principles are found in the Confederate constitution. The command Las gone forth that the old soldiers muat be cruci fied. The New York Democratic organ whose rampart treason during the Rebel lion trced the government at Washing ton to order its temporary suppression, denounces the pension system as "a car nival of wrong and robbery ,"and shrieks frantically that it must be changed. Democratic journals in New Fag'and, ia the Middle States acd the West echo the cry. The Bcuibon organs cf the South are exultant in their triumph over the men they have never ceased to hate, and are clamorous in their demand for the withdrawal of the nation's bounty froaa them. Be it so. The R?publicAa party will n;t shi k the issue. The Republican party has no a;-o'.'gy to make fur saving the cation, no regrets f. r its generous treat jQcot cf the heroes ho faced death under the stars and stri-s. It will stand by its principles now as it stood by its guns during the years of storm and stress when Ivruocracy fought the I'nion ar mies in the field and treacherously a tailed the Ur.ic.n cause frcm the rear. Attempts to rob tLe gray haired veter ans of the hard won pittance that the mighty and prosperous nation the rich est on earth has decree-1 shall be their, wi'l ciett with the determined resistance of tbe Rcpubilraas in the Flftv t;iird Cocgresp. If j roju-btl Iemocriic schemes are carried out in spite of Re publican opposition, the Republican par ty will appeal to the people at the next general election to hurl f-oui power the fiction that tvifen bread to the men but or whose patriuc devotion the Unit ed States would not lo-day be ia exist ence.
