"Xnw of nil the distinctions of man.
The highest la his infinite power of amend
ment, or reputation, oi recovery, oi im
provement." CHAPTER I.
I never liked Leigh Page. His life
was of all others the most distasteful
to rue an utterly aimless, drifting ex
istence, without strong desire, either
for good or evil.
He had talents certainly, a keen
wit and subtile analysis but he used
them onlv for caricature and burlesqifo.
Ilia very tone had a drawl, ana nis
face a latent sneer. But his friends
(who were few) said he was capable
of kind and generous aots, and the
Goulricts (his. half-sister's family)
seemed absolutely devoted to lnm.
Curtis Holies, my young adjutant,
would have disliked him less but for
this. Lik-6 him. he never could, bo
cause theie was an inborn lack of con
geniality between tho two; Leigh,
blase and lmliuorent, and Curtis, pas
sionate, shy, thoroughly m earnest.
and full of intense vitality. Rut he
was engaged to Rachel Uoulrtck,
(Gcoree Goulrick's youngest sister,)
and her admiration for . Leigh Page,
and Gratification for his kindness to
her trother's family, almost drove
Curtis wild with jealousy, although he
tried to. and I Daiieve uiu, conceal n
from her.
Rut I knew a crisis was imminent
when I heard her reprove her lover
indignantly for uttering a rather severe
criticism upon Leigh Page's idle life
in her presence. "No one shall speak
before m acaiust him ! she said, ex
cited I y. and tha quick tears stood in
her dark-blue eyes, "when be has been
the kindest, truest friend my brother
ever had. W e might be beggars now
but for hira ! i :
Curtis Holies did not reply, but
saw him bito his lip and clench his
hand as if with sudden pain, and
knew his passion was at fever-heat.
lie had oltercd at the time ot
George's failure to do all which Leigh
had done, and he suspected the latter
of making capital of his kindness to
the brother in order to influence the
sister.
So when I entered the mejs room
that night, and fouud Leigh Page ex
hibiting to a crowd Of amused com-
lanions some clever caricatures on
Curtis Holies, and they hit fairly
enough, poor fellow, for Curtis was too
earnest not to be vulnerable I felt
uneaev.
At last I said to Leigh Page "My
good fellow! you had better put these
things aside. - (Jurtis will be here soon
and this sort of thing won't do. One
has a prejudice agaiusl a joke on one s
self, vou know.
Leigh Page gnvo me a defiant stare
out of bis lazy blue eyes, and threw
the drawings u ivn on the table, in lull
view of the group 'now entering the
doer. Curtis Holies was one.
"What's this 7" asked Burton An
drews, sauntering up to the table. "It's
a mighty clever thing! Why, Curtis,
it is you to the life, my boy !
Curtis Holies looked at it in silence,
and his boyish features began to grow
curiously stern ; but the very force of
passion kept him outwardly quiet.
"You meant these as insulting to
me, Mr. Page?" he asked.
"If you find the truth an insult, Mr.
Rolles, replied Leigh, with a cool,
sneering lrugh. "Your friends recog
nizo the resemblance."
A fierce blow in the face felled him
to the earth ; another and another fell
with blind, passionate power, until the
men separated them by force ; but
Leigh Huge had had no opportunity to
retaliate, and we knew the aifair would
not end there. The first stroke half
stunned him, and when he left the
room, bruised, scarred, and bleeding,
not even bis mother would have recog
nized his face.
But in a few days he had recovered
sufficiently to go out, and it was sus
pected that a challenge had beeu sent.
Thursday evening bo was among the
officers on the parade ground, though
there was an ugly red scar on his brow.
Curtis Holies was also there, of course,
but uo sign of recognition passed be
tween him and Leigh Page, or his
friends.
There was a large crowd of specta
tors present, and among them, Rachel
Goulrick. She was a light-hearted,
impulsive girl, almost as quick with a
jest as with tho flash of temper which
marked her displeasure. This even
she looked pale and downcast. I was
standing near her when two men be
gan discussing the chauoes of a duel.
1 hey seemed to thins there was uo
doubt ef it.
"Oh, dear! aud will no man try to
stop thefn? "she exclaimed, 'in low,
pussioillito tones'; and then, bofore I
quite understood the ituatiou, the
whole crowd, about to disperse, were
arresleJ by seeing her slight girlish
figure rush into the square where Leigh
rape was standing.
Curtis Holies tried to stop her, but
she waved him hack with an imperious
gesture tliat would not be gainsaid.
Ijp.igh rage did not see her; he was
talking to another officer, when he
heard her voice, tremulous, vibrating
with intense emotion, as she knelt on
the earth before him.
"Since Curtis Rolles will not nsk
your pardon, I, his betrothed, on whose
f .... n l ,
heart tins lauure ana sname urs ncav
ilv. I ask it on my knees. And," as
she lifted her hands to heaven, as if
to call it as witness to here words, "I
will never marry him until ho makes
reparation for the blow.
Lieigh rage caught her hand in both
of It is.
"I recall my challenge." He turn
ed to Curtis Rolles, and said, in a clear,
ringing voice, "and I apologize for my
rudeness before. Gentlemen 1" he said
to the officers standing by, "I do not
need to prove my courage now?"
. There was the scar of a sabre-cut
across his hand, which was visible as
he turned aside from the kneeling girl,
and the spectators uttered a shout of
applause. No man indeed doubted
Leigh rage s bravery.
Then Rachel's brother came for
ward, and she went with him, but not
until some earnest, graceful words of
praise from Leigh Page had brought
tears to her eyes. They streamed
down her cheeks as she .lowered her
veil and moved away, without a word,
to Curtis Holies.
The young fellow looked cut to the
soul. He had refused to acknowledge
Leigh Page's words to him by tho
slightest signs ; he did move once as
ho spoke to Rachel the last time, but
except for that, it might have been a
marble statue standing there. Tlio ex
pression in his face was one that Shak-
speare had painted with one line of
matchless pathos in his " Cymbeline."
Past hope and in despair; that way past
grace."
And I did not know how such a rup
ture, between two natures so tenacious
and persiBlcnt, could be healed.
CHAPTER II.
Leigh Tage and Rachel Goulrick
had been together for an hour in the
garden. It was now twilight in the
old, dark town of St. Augustine, and
the early moon glimmered ou the
sontheru waters, and fell, shivered in
to a thousand fragments, through the
palmetto leaves on the ground tinier
neath. Large white moths floated
dreamily in aerial circles .over its fra
grant blossoms and tho moonlit orange-
boughs.
The voice of the speaker seemed
eager and tremulous as hespoko of his
love for the young girl by him, whose
dark eyes drooped uuder his own. lie
told her that she was like a new and
pure life to him, aud that for her sake
be could overlive his worthless and
aimless past. - ' '
"But 1 do not love you," sho said,
softly, "except as a dear friend. I love
Curtis Rolles. Overlive your past fur
a nobler sake than mine.
He was about to speak again, when
the sound of music broko upon the
air. It was someone playing the love
ly Haydn Sonata of Beethoven. The
melody seemed to tlont into the moon
light and shadow, and infuse them with
a strange passion and pain. An infinite
sweetness of desire thrilled through,
while long, sorrowful, sighing notes
trembled in the exquisite andante
movement. It was as if a soul on the
confines of eternity spoke to the souls
behind in unearthly entreaty aud ten
derness.
As it died away.Leigh Page answer
ed, with a pew tone : "Then make your
lover happy. Do not let me feel that
I have blighted your two lives; and,
indeed, I was to blame for the for the
first provocation. There is no repa
tioo due to me now.. Do not think of
me, but forgive him, and make him
happy."
oho turned a lace glowing with en
thusiasm toward him. "I know my
judgment of you was truest You
are very generous, but X must be loyal
to my sense of right as to my lover ;
and my vow is between my soul and
Heaven. You cannot lessen its force."
He took her trembling haud in his,
and kissed it with a reverential ten
derness. "I wish that you could have loved
me," he said. "I wish I could have
made you happy. No one could love
you more."
And ho went away. Three months
had gouo by, and still Rachel Goul
rick and Curtis Rolles were estranged.
Leigh Page was ill in the old Strega-
ras house, a mile from town ; and as
vet there had beeu uo further sign of
reoouciliatiou between the two men,
although it was understood that Leigh
Page would accept any advances for
Rachel Goulrick's sake.
But 'Curtis Rolles was proud, (as
such a keenlv-sensitive and fiery na
til re only could be,) anil I thought ho
would lather die than yield.
He came into my room lato one
night. His eyes had a heavy look
about them, and his mouth wore a list
less, tried expression, as different- ns
possible from the bright, merry smile
ol tour months ago.
"I thought Rachel Goulrick's con
scientiousness was morbid ; it seemed
cruel and wicked to sacrifice a young
life indeed, the happiness of two lives
to a mere scuple ; and I said so very
strongly. ,
He fired up at once, and, to my sur
prise, defended her.
' She is right I and 1 am not such a
brute yet as even to wish to change her,
or lower her to my level for my plea
sure. I know what she says is true.
and my whole soul revolts from it. I
cin't give up, and I am not worthy of
hcrr
"You look tired," I said, pityingly,
as the flush faded, and he leaned back
exhausted.
"Yes," he answered, "I am glad of
it. If I could only chill my own i
thoughts always by fatigue I might be
happier. Colonel, if you will let me,
I will sleep here to-night."
I agreed readily, for I did not feel
easy about the boy ; such a state of
misery was the very worst for soul or
body.
We were awakened at half past
three by a dull, roaring sound in our
ears, nud as I sprang up hastily, I saw
the whole horizon crimson with a belt
of flames.
"It is on the Stregaras road I" I ex
claimed, as I looked out.
Curtis did not answer, but I saw by
the flash in his eyes and the sudden
compression of his lips that he remem
bered Leigh Page.
I dil not ask what he was going to
do. I did not doubt him more than
my own life.
We dressed hurriedly, sprang on
our horses, aud were oi. the road Tn
less time than it takes to write these
few lines.
The bla'zo aud clouds of smoke were
awful to the right of us. We could
hear the forest trees crack nud full
one by ono with a crash, as we rode.
Presently wa neared the burning re
gion, and our horses began to be restive
and to shy from the smoking brands.
We got down, and tied them near a
pool of water, which had already been
burned for some uistauce around.
Then we hastened on, still without a
word, to the old house. It was still
standing, though the smoke was blown
in such volumes between ns, that 'we
could just see it occasionally, as a gust
of wind cleared away the thick cloud
for a few minutes and it rolled back
again. . i . i
"I am not too late!" cried Curtis,
and his eyes flashed with exultation.
There were some men stauding on
the lawn, and they tried to stop him.
iou cannot save him ; tho room is
too far back. It is at the peril of your
life," they shouted ; but he had already
gone.
I followed, but lie was so Tar. ahead
that when I reached the upper stair
case, l met Mm with the insensible
form of Leigh Page in his arsm.
A brand from the fulling door had
struck hi in as he came out, and left a
burned and bleeding wound on his
forehead, but ho looked as if a new
life were bounding in every vein aud
hber.
His example animated the lookers
on to new ellorts, and at last the fire
was suppressed.
Leigh Page recovered, and after
wards went to a new station in the far
West, where he did his country noble
and true service. I never saw him af
ter he left St. Augustine.
Curtis Rolles and Rachel Goulrick
were married. Curtis always had a
zigzag scar on his brow, which, by a
curious coincidence, was iu the same
place that he had struck his enemy in
the face; but we, who knew low it
came there, never thought that it dis
figured his open, manly couutenauco.
Rachel's eye were never so full of
tender, passionate lovo and-enthusi
-asm, nor her voice so lull ot emotion,
as when she looked at it, for sho be
lieved, with her whole heart, that the
noblest work of man was to atone and
make reparation for a wrong. This
scar Aw x mark, as the old signatures
have it was in her sight the sign and
symbol of the noblest and highest
honor, To-Day.
The common phrase, "I thought I
should kill myself laughiq?," became
a 6ad reality with a man iu Massachu
setts lutt Friday morning. Ha was
engaged iu conversation with his wife
and laughing very heartily, when sud
denly he said, "Stop ; yon make nie
laugh to much," and falling to tho
floor instantly expired.
A stoical Scotchurau was addressed
by his sick wifu : Oh, John I shan't
leave this bed alive." "Please thee
self, Betty, and thee'l please mo,' re
turned Joliu, with equanimity. "I
have been a good w ife to you" jiersis
ted the dying woman. "Middlin Bet
ty, only middlin,"
;OINJ TO M'KI.MNf HCIKIOI..
That fair young rreature who went
with us! It don't make any didcrcnoo
that she went hack on her word, grew
up to be a hatchct-faccd old maid, her
voice like a file and her temper catsup
she was lovely then. "Would tho
fair and lovely Augusta accept our
company to a spelling school out at
Duck Lane, Thursday night?" Tho
fair Augusta would, she said, and she
did. Such a moon, such an easy mo
tion of the sleigh ! Such singing in
chorus f Every girl had a front door
key in her pocket, and every young
man felt as if he could climb a shed
40,000 feet high to get into his own
chamber window. That fair young
creature how she pretended to shiver
with cold until an arm was gently and
affectionately placed around her deli
cate waist. Then tho weather sudden
ly grew warmer, and she didn't shiver
anvmore. It was a beautiful night.
We observed that Bill Jones and Sarah
Smith seemed very affectionate. Sho
said it seemed so to her, but having
stuck the end of a horse blanket in
her eye? she wasu't prepared to make
an affidavit. Somehow alter that ,tho
conversation began to grow more and
more interesting, and -with that fair
young creature s head on our shoulder
we'd have sat out to ride to Vermont
and back without a stop. She was so
artless and innocent; so child-like and
confiding. She told all about how her
stepmother pounded her with tltp rolN
ing pin, and when we ; thought Of a
rolling pin whacking againstherfragiio
form aud bounding over her alabaster
shoulders, our hair stood ou end with
mad freuzy. She said sho sometimes
thought she'd get married to escape
further persecution, and we were about
to lay our hand on our heart, aud pfTer
to be hcr's forevermore, wheq . (he
sleigh stopped at the school house, ,
. Then came the spellicg down, It
was Brighton against Bungtown, with
tho schoolmaster in favor , of Bung
town. Such words as "catarrh" "tur
key," "parallel," etc., soon reduced
the "sides" to a half dozen, and at
length we were left to sustain the hon
or of Brighton. The .schoolmaster
vas determined that Bungtown should
win, and it did when we spelled "om
nibus" with a double 'V; He said
it wasn't right, and when Brighton
insisted, he ottered to uphold 'Bung
town with the iron poker.." However,
it was an object to be consoled aud
sympathized with by "our girl." . She
positively shed tears of anger and sym
pathy, and sho said there, were two s's
in omnibus of course, ono on each side,
and she wasu't positive but tiiere was
ouo on the door behind. By and by tha
conversation went hack to stepmoth
ers, rolling pins, alabaster shoulders
and getting' married, and she said
she'd be "ours." Wo figured tip how
we could keep house on $3.50 per
week aud have a dollar left ; just how
the woodbine would trail over our
door; how we'd make her stepmother
die of a broken heart ; how but you
all remember. It was a boy's dream.
She dicouraged us when she thought
she coitid marry a dashing clerk, and
her father sat the dog on me, aud her
brothers threatened to shoot; but as
I said, it don't mado any differenco
now. Wheu I think over tho past, I
feel to exclaim like Walt Whitman,
"Oh, gim'me back them other days!"
An applicant for old clothes at a
Pine street residence, Saturday, ro
ccived a half dozen soiled paper col-,
lure with the advice "to turn them
and chalk the edges." This might bo
called generosity without judgement,
and is in keeping with the act of a
soldier's mother during tlie late war,
who sent him in a Christmas box au
elegant spittoon. j
"This is a very crooked path," said
Jones to Brown, as they wound up
the side of lontauvet. "Cooked!"
was the reply, -it is so confounded
igcag you can stand with ono ("ot on
zig and' the other on zag without any
difficulty."
Gal way, the capital of the Western
Highlauds of Ireland, is often humor
ously called "tho nearest parish to
'America," it being the most westerly
point in tho Britsih Isles whence com
munication may be had with the New
