A WIDOW, .AND A WAOEB “Dear CharlU .'—Come to Willow Lodge fora week or two, by the next train-if you can’t oome then, epnu) Monday. My wife has arranged a pic-nic for Tuesday, and says «he mast hare you. It is year dull season now, X know, so you can get away well enough, and I shall take np excuses.. P. S.—Mrs. Winchester is here—l thought it right to tell you, because you bate widows; hut the is quite harmless." I eat there in a brown 'study over this char acteristic epistle; I could go well enough— there Was no reason in the World why I should not go, and W inklejfslwas the most charming, sociable, free-and-easy place at which to visit —a perfect Liberty llall. But—■ — When I bad reached'this stage in my reflec tions Kate came in. Kate is my sister, and be cause she chanced io have been bora a year (ytd ten days before I was, she always felt it one of her duties to exercise orer me a sort of superintending cnr% —to see that 1 did not suffer for want of good ivJvios. I tossed bet the let ter to read. , “It promises well,’’ said my sage monitor, in pink muslin, “all but the post script. Charlie Cothwaite, as sure ns you go there you are a lost man —the widow will have you.”, “But Mrs. Winchester is not. the dangerous kind of widows. Her husband has been dead four years, and ahe isn’t married yet. Besides she has no need to be in a burry— she is only twenty-three,” “You seem tokbow alf about her? There tit a satirical twinkle itt-Kate’a eye which I did not like! - I defended myeelf. ' "Of course I do. She is Fred's wife's cous in. No onb could see Fred long without hear ing of her—he thinks she is perfection, and'be wanted to ihtroduce : me to her long ago, only I told him widows were my detestation." “So he invites you to spend a week or two in the house with one. Very handsome of him, upon my word,” “I suppose he did not think about her until he had written the note—yon see be only men tions her in the postscript. I wont be foolish enough to give op such a pleasant trip because Mrs. Winkley is entertaining her cousin. I shall go on Monday.” “The widow will have you 1 ’ —Kate shook her head solemnly. “We will see.” “1111 lay yon a wager—the handsomest meer schaum 1 can find in New York, against what?” “’A pretty set of pearls, which you shall wear to my wedding if the widow gets me. And now, Kate, do look out for' my buttons. It would be shocking to encounter my fair enemy in a state of dilapidation.” “Oh, meii with filters dear, » Ob men with mothers and wives, It is net linen you’re wearing out, But human creature:’ lives”— bammed Kate’s saucy voice as she bounded dp stairs, to register our wager. Monday afternoon found meat Willow Lodge. It was just after.dinner—the hour at which ev ery body in the country goes to sleep. • Not knowing when I would come, no one was at the train to meet me, and I walked up to the house, leaving my portmanteau to be sent for later.— .Tbe/rontAofif’stuod open, and! went quietly into the drawing room. It was untenanted, at least I thought so at first, but as I walked along toward the farther end of the apartment, I saw lying upon a sofa a lady. She was reclining there with the careless grace of a child. One little pink rosetted slipper had fallen on the car pet, and the little silken-stockinged foot hung carelessly over the arm of the sofa. She had on a muslin dress, of a cool, fresh tint, with loose,, full sleeves which revealed plump, tempt ing arms. One hand was crushed like a rose leaf under her glowing cheek, and the other still held “The Angel in the House,” for peo ple were just then beginning to talk about Cov sntry Patmore’s books. Her lips were bright as Scarlet berries, and her hair was gold, just dashed With bronze, always paints 'for his ideal women. I nevet could have, a better,chanoe for looking at Mrs. Winchester —for I made certain she Was the Jady.’, I could see everything but her cyst, and I decided that they were blue. ’ t x ’ ‘ , ' I Was very muoh surprised—half disappoint ed, perhaps—-the lady’ was so different from, the ideal! bad formed of her. Fred-bad nev 'er described her to roe, except by such vague . adjectives as “splendid,” “magnificent;'’ “stun ning,”—blit somehow I ba,d always thought of her as a regal; commanding brunette, atype of proud; stately, : impassioned She was nothing oYall this.

Tohiml was;less merciful—l overset a foot*, stool which wasinmy: way, and strode noisily toward him. Hettarted np, robhinghis eyes briskly. ■ ■ 'jWbat, Qharlie,.that you? Too bad, upon ray .wprd.

My unexpected advent has procured mean unexpected pleasure, I have seen Mrs. ■Winchester-asleep, on the -sofa.” • . Fred laughed, a good, hearty laugh, full of fun and frolic. "That is rich. What do you think of her?*' I '■ <‘l think yon' were talking nonsense when ■yoh WHed her magnificent. She issimply a ■pretty girl—very pretty.” ■Wery pretty,” repeated Fred after me, with a whistle of consideration. ’"Not" at all in Vi’s style,' but very pretty, surely.” 1 “Vi" was Fred’s wife*—a superb woman of the' dark type, kindly; but hosty and passionate. It bad been, a; love match, and Fred thought her perfection. What good criticawe men are of other men’s wives I [ ; That evening, before tea, I wasjbrmally pre sented to Mrs. Winchester. Her eyes were not blue, as I had fancied, bit brown. “She has eyes so soft and brown. She gives you a side glance and looks down, ■ ■ •/ Beware, beware, She is foaling theo"— I mattered to myself, taking a leaf out of Kate’s book. I had to acquit her, however, of taking much" pains to please me. She! ate her. supper quite’ ,silently r :with a kind of pteoeeopied air. Mrs.; Winklfey attempted to rally her. “Maud’s thoughts are* prophetic,” she>sajd, teasingly. “They have gone into the country of To-morrow, with Longfellow’s Indian. \Ve are to be a merry house tq-morrow. Mr. Coth waite, Dr. Dinemore and bis sister are coming in the morning. They are Mrs. Winchester’s special friends.” '• Even this did not provoke Mrs. Winchester to any retort. When she had finished her tea she went out’upon the piazza, and looked off where the shadows of sunset clouds were rest ing phantom like on the mountain. Naturally enough I followed her. It was a splendid sun set —June at its ripest and richest, when the world, in a dream of beaofy, forgets itself for a little while, and lapses into Eden. Looking out over themountain, neither of ns spoke un til Prod land bis “VP*camSdpontbe scene.— Then the conversation wasj lively'knd : generdl. Maud Winchester began tw sparklet - A ’pretty little-pink spot-burned into either! Oheek.and her browmeyes kindled. I understood, now, Fred’s: raptures about her, I could see that she might be very winning. - If she bad not been .a widow, I even thought I might have loved her myself; but I would have no worn out second love, no galvanized corpse of a heart. The .next morning, walking down the car riage drive after breakfast, a gay train flashed by me. Half a dozen ladles and gentlemen, alien horseback, and, leading them, a hand some, haughty workman, in dark grey riding habit, with long feathers streaming in the wind. I followed her slowly, and reached the house just in time to see a gentleman of the party bow with the grace of a courtier over Mrs. Winches ter’s hand, and then raise it to bis lips. “Dr. Dinsmorel” I said to myself—“ Mrs. Winchester’s No. 2, probably,” and I surveyed the stranger with a scrutinizing, anxious inter est, for which ,1-should have been puzzled to account. I did 'not like : his looks. There seemed to me something wily and cat-like' in the glance of his uncertain,'unresenting eyes. His suave featares looked to> me like a mask; bis very air of ceremonious politeness repelled me. Nor, When I was presented to him, did I like any better the persuasive, insinualing’tones of bis gently modulated voice.. The whole man seemed to me hollow and insincere. His sister was the haughty beauty I bod seen at (he bead of the cavalcade. I liked her looks better. At least, 1 thought she was honest and fearless. — She made no attempt to conciliate any one, yet, instinctively, every one obeyed her. The rest of the party have nothing to do with my story. They were lay figures, merely, suppor ted for the day in sufficient numbers to moke our pic-nic entertaining—they went away at night, and 1 saw them no'mote. Dr. Dinsraore and his sister 1 soon found jwere to stay for some time in the bouse. j Time went on, and 1 was puzzled as to the nature of the acquaintance between Dr. Dins more and Mrs. Winchester. iHe was constant ly by her side, ,He pot on her shawl, he car ried her basket or her parasol, he seemed to make it bis study to anticipate her wishes. But yet in spite of his devotion, Ij began to donbt, after a little while, whether she liked bis at tentions. Either she did not [care’ to be alone with him, or she thought it rude in so small a company, to confine herself exclusively to one. She evidently strove to make the conver sation general. I coaid Fancied, even, that she preferred talking to me.; I should have been better able to judge bad not Miss Dina more in her grand, caretesa way, appropriated me, and kept me constantly by her side. - A week passed on so, and at its close I made some feeble suggestion about going home. It .was' to Fred, and he atones overruled my weak intention. !’ “Yon must stay for a week' or two least until Dinsmore and his sister go away. I don’t Jikoeither of them, and J am not going to be left alone to entertain them. I wonder what hold Djnsmore has on Mpud Winchester? She seems to me like a poor,.little struggling fly, whom a great, block. Ugly'spider bae got speeded in lus net.” • V rn y J J (j. , . t ■ ‘' r_ AOO k x Before.lhad been ten days at Willow Lodge I lovedhlrs. Winchester with every pulse of my heart. ' It wasa perfectly inexplicable mat ter ib me. : I really knew nothing of her, be yond the playful grace of he manners, the eweeti winningatyle of her beauty. I had hot bad one hour of serious conversation with her —I knew nothing qf her principles, little, even,, of her tastes,, and yet I would have staked my lifeon her" goodness'; trusted, without h’ -mo ment’s hesitation, my whole future happiness to her keeping. I determined to stay on at Willow Lodge'dntil I knew something-more definite of the relation between her and Dr. DinamdrC, '■ 1 looked' out of the window, as I made up my mind to this, and I saw them com ing up the walk together. She was all in white with* spray or-two Of purple heliotrope in her hronae-goldhair and on her bosom. She had never looked lovelier, more girlish and beguil ing. I went out ond joined them. I was hot deceived, I could not bo in the eagerness with Which,she turned to me from her companion; or the relief she seemed to manifest at having their tete-a-tete interrupted. Still, fire minutes after, when he tbtd her rather than asked her,- togo with him to the top of the hill, where they could get the best view of the sunset, she turned to go at once. I was just resolving to make a third in their company, at the risk of being considered an intrder, when Miss Dins more’s compelling hand fell oh my arm. “Let ns go sunset, seeing, too, Mr. Coth waite,” she said, in tones that I could hot have disregarded without rudenenes, and then, see ing my eyes still follow those two retreating figures, she added— “ Not with them, though. Have you not eyes enough to see that they are in that stage when two are company f They were a great deal to gether last winter, and I always found they liked their own society better than mine,” I went with her, after that, nnresentingly.— So this singular intimacy was no new thing.— Miss Dinemore most have found me but astu- pid companion, fur while 1 walked mechanically at her side, my thoughts' bad followed Mtlod Winchester’s light-footsteps to the hilltop.— Probably this mattered little to Anna Dins more, 1 for I could see clearly enough that she took no interest in me, beyond the service she could do her brother in keeping me out of bis way. Tbis is only, a specimen of the way we went on for a week longer—Mrs. Winchester evi- 1 dently, as it appeared to me, almost disliking said— [ Dr. Dinsmore, and yet constantly with him—" -“ lie is mei [ almost servilely obedient to his commands. — that. What 1 Once ot twice I came upon them suddenly, Sheds a foscii 'engaged in very earnest talk. She seemed to have had som| be pleading with him for some promise which ; hut he does ij be would no» give her. I loved her more ev- 1 would never t ery day, and my interest in ttie matter became i so intense it was almost painful. At length I bad an opportunity to understand It all. I had stretched myself on the grass, at the foot of a clump of pines which were scat tered here and there in the grounds, and I lay there thinking silently, busied in conjectures about the doctor and ’Mrs. Winchester. 1 bad ftot thought of,hearing nnythingtfaeu and there which wonid tend to elecidate the mystery; but presently they came, walking together os usu al, and sat down on the other side of the trees, where I could hear every word (hey said. Strict honor would have dictated that I should at once have made known to them my neighbor hood, which clearly they had not suspected.— But I was in love, and here was an opportunity to unravel the mystery which bung around the woman to whom I longed to eoncecrate all my future. .“All’s fair in love and war,” says the old adage, and perhaps most men would have lain still as I did and—listened. (Itisnnugly word, and does not look Well written.) Mrs. Winchester spoke first. " Once more, Dr. Dinsmore, I implore you to release me from our engagement. Ido not love you. Is it manly to force me to be your wife ?” “ I think it is,” —in those smooth, hypocriti cal tones of bis—“at least, I think it is like a man who loves to win bis prize in whatever manner he can—by fair means, if possible, if •not, by any which present themselves. Why do you not have some consideration for me ?. My happiness is worth just as much to mens yours is to yon. Why did you promise to be my wife, if you did not love me?'or what right have you to be so capricious “ None, no right”—she said, humbly, poor, little frightened dove—“ I know it 18 all wrong on my part, only that you did not overpersuade me. and I promised you thoughtlessly. But I don’t love you, Dr. Diusmurc, and 1 couldn’t make yeu.” “But you should love me, Maud”—his voice sank into low, pathetic, passionate pleading— “you should love—l woultl make you. You couldn’t live with me, and receive the devo tion of my whole life, and not love me. Once I know I can win your heart, unless —Maud, you have not dared to love any one else f” Ilow eagerly I listened-for her answer. “No one else has even asked me to love them. It is not that.” “ I suppose her words satisfied him, but there was hope in them for me. i “ Then, child, 1 can make you love rafi —I know it.” - ‘“Why don’t you ?” she said, with a sort of dreary hopelessness, that woe very touching.— “ When I promised to marry you, that was the way you persuaded me. You said you loved mo ks no one else would ever love mo again, and’you would make me love you. I have been waiting for that time to come, and it has not come. Ido not even like you as well as I did eight months ago-” “It would be all different then. You do not understand it; -I have no opportunity to make you love me, now. It would be different if you were all mine—my wife, whom I had a right to love 1 and protect arid cherish.” Her answer came to my ear; yery, low but firm;. “ I think that would not make you dearer; Mr. Dinsmore. Uememberj however I -may seem; to you, lam a woman, and no child. 1 havejbeen. married once to a rtldn wtoni I did not love—l would rather die than go through that ordeal again;” . • v r r ■ p ki. .Is L .

Her words thrilled me with a strange joy. If I could win her, then, I should hive ho rival; not even the memory of her dead husband.— At this stage, Dinsmore’a tempergot the better of'him. He said in a low, stern; angry tone— if she had heard him speak so many times, it was no wonder she did not love him— “ Madame, if you have no consideration for me, Imjist have some for myself. I will not be the victim of a jilt. If you refuse to fulfil our engagement, I will enforce my claim legally.— How will you like the publicity of such a trial?" .1 “ It wbnld kill me.” i There! was anguish in her tone. { I knew how she was wringing those helpless little bands to gether. Jl conld fancy the despair in those brown eyes, the piteous quiver round the sweet mouth. How I longed to spring to her side, and offer her, then and there, the support of one morej true heart. But I must he prudent. She might-not he prepared for such a declara tion, or ready to forgive me for listening to her secret—l could not run such a risk to my chan ces of success as it would be to speak then.— So I was silent. “lam resolved, Mrs. Winchester. You have, for, once, firm man' to deal with. You can make of me what you wili—ryour bitter, un compromising enemy, or a husband who would Worship you.” “.Sot my husband, oh, never my husband,” I heard her gasp, as be moved away, res pected (hen a storm of . subs, bat no sound came, andlsoon she got op and walked after him. Going tb the house, by a roundabout way, I summoned I'red to my confidenced, and told him all—my love for Maud Winchester, and the conversation I had heard, which unravelled the secret of her singular relation with Dr. Dinsmore. “ The double distilled villain,” he cried, as I concluded!. “ I will turn him out of my house to-night, the paltry, pitiful wretch.” “ Not so fast,” I said, putting my band on his arm.. “ jYou rousn't forget how I obtained the information, and that you cannot reveal ray secret without my leave. I am not at all sure that turning the medical gentleman out of doors would be the best way to deal with him. We must eonjtrive soma way to keep him from drawing her | before the public in ,a breach of promise suit.’ Fred eonsil She is rich. Her husband left her nil his money, and tl:at is what Dinsmore is after.— Her first match was one made by her friends, and a very unhappy one it was. The only kind deed George Winchester did was to die. Poor little thing, she ought to hare a chance at hap piness now. I hope you can win her, Charlie; I would ask nothing better for either of you. I don’t think there’s any danger of' Dinsmore suing her. It would be a sure loss of his pro fessional and social position, and any damages he could get would not pay him. Besides, if he should, you) could shield her from anything unpleasant—just make no attempt to contest the suit, and ppy the damages out of her for tune. It is large enough ?” “ I don’t care at all fur the fortune,” I cried, with the enthusiasm of an honest lover. “It is.only herself I want. Let him take all the money, so be will peaceably give me her.” “I am n married man of three years stand ing, said Fred, dryly, “and though ! love my wife as dearly ns any one can, I never yet found money any inconvenience. So we won’t offer the fortune to him, unless he asks for it.” The'next day I contrived to meet Mrs. Win chester for an instant in the drawing room, when Dinsmore was off duty, 1 begged her to see me a fewimoments, for I had something of especial importance to say to her. She looked at me in surprise, but answered me quietly— ” I will, if you will contrive the opportunity. You may have noticed that I have not many moments to myself.” - FnteJ or rather Fred, managed it for me, after a)], in a simple,! straightforward manner, that was very refreshing. It was after our early tea, and he said[ carelessly— “ I have ordered the horses for a drive. For once we’ll go in| couples. I shall claim Miss i)insraore ; —her society is more of a rarity to me than that of] either of the other ladies.— Doctor, you will drive my wife, if you please, and, Charlie, Mrs. Winchester wiy fall to your share.” I saw Antra Dinsmore bite her scornful lips with rage, and there was a. white light of anger in the Doctor’s eyes—bat he was too much a man of the world to insult a lady, his hostess, by offering any abjections. lie bowed politely, and made a speech about Mr. Winkley’s gener osity which might be taken for earnest or sat ire, according as the hearer understood .or did not understand tlie state of affairs. - Fred bad taken care that I should have a fast horse and a fair start, and presently we were out of sight. A mile further on, I turned into a lonely, unfrequented road, with which I did not think Dinsmore was familiar, and where, at any rate, 1 coqld trust to Fred’s engineering to prevent me from being followed. Theb I let the reins lie loosely over the horse’s back— bis pace slackened, and I could talk to my companion. • i “ Maud,” I said, “ forgive me if you think what I am about, to say presumptuous, on so short at| acquaintance ; but I cannot go away from here arid iejave it nnsiiid. I lovo you with all the strength and fervor of a man’s heart. The.only .thing I long Cor in life is the power to'make you happy. fJmild you love me ?

(J ' The -dear, honorable little thing, unwilling to ■ let herself be happy for a moment until she had told me her whole painful secret!, Dpuf both my arms round her—it was well that ;Fred had given me a safe horse, for 1 1.forgot, him just then —I, but what lathe use] of givingyoil a stereotyped love scene f ten every jybung gentleman insert here what he would hath done in my place; Ladies, if,-they cant trust tp theit own imagination, will find, the programme;ih . any novel.—When I had taken from heir dear lips roy first kiss, I told her that I did tmtrknovr ali. , I explained to her bow 1 became possessed of my information, and then 1 told her my plan for relieving her from his. prosecutions: It was that we, should be married the next day; Fred .could easily make all arrangements for us ; and in the afternoon we could drive off .by ourselves, end I would bring her home Mrs. Cothwaite.—Then, if he choose tb sue her; let him bring his suit. I could manage, it all for her, and in the safe shelter pf a, happyShomb she would not so much mind it—at the worst it would only be the loss of a few thousand 1 dol lars, which she would never miss. J At fir.et, I know, my proposition startled Lor by its Suddenness. But I used all the eloquence of which I was master; and I think the long ing to be delivered from the prosecutions of Dr. had become to her a perfect nightmare,-had yet more influence, tbanjmy words.—At length I won her promise to be my wife before the nest sunset. I thought I bad never known what happiness was unttl then. Is there not a season in every man’s life, who has ever honestly and truly loved, when Elysi um seems no fable, D r e reached home soon after the rest of. bar party. It would not have done to excl'lC' any, suspicion by late hours. We found (hem alt in the drawing room—Dinsmoro in a sivage temper, as was evident in bis sullen, lowering glance, and restless motions; Miss Dinsm'ore trying to cover up his rudeness by .extra bril liancy, and Fred and Vi apparently perfectly at ease. Maud avoided all conversation jby saying that she believed her ride bad given her a headache, and presently retiring. I talked gayly till every one was ready to say good night; and then I,spent half an hour wjth Fred, in my own room, settling all the ar rangements for the morrow. - Next morning Mrs. Winchester-made her ap pearance at breakfast in the sunniest of mooch). She was gracious even to Dr, Dinsmore. ,| I longed so for a few fond words—a whisperjof the love of which my heart was so full—but her look told me to have faith in her. After dinner Fred asked Dinsmore to diive. He had something which he wished to discuss with him. Dinsmore could not decently re fuse. A second time he was a martyr to his po liteness. A few moments afterward another equipage camp to the door, and at the.saoin ~ time my Maud, “queen rope in the-. tosAbujd garden of girls," came down stairs.-- In' aW hour from that time she was my wife, dnd Wo drove baok in the twilight to Willow LydgiL I introduced Mrs. Cotbwaito to Hr. Hinsmore, and then I handed him my card. 1 “That will be my wife’s address in cose, you - should wish to send her a notice of your suit, in court." H,ie face turned crimson, llasoal as he-was, I couldn’t, held pitying him. .He said, hesitatingly; “As a lover Mr Cotfawaite, you should Jknow that a man in love says many things to .(’carry his point which he does not exactly mean. Your wife is safe from any persecution of mine.'' The next morning he and his sister left Wil low Lodge. They left behind them, two happy hearts. It is five years since, and we.have nev er wearied of each other, I and my Maud. ■ Support toue Home Papers. —Whatever patronage may bo accorded to city journalsj whether on account of-their cheapness or the. “general” news they contain, the importance of sustaining “home papers" should not bo over/ looked. As the medium, of local transactions! and for farthering home interests, their vafco can hardly be over estimated. The following* from the Cleaveland (Ohio) Herald, presents 1 the question in the-true light: • . “We know of nothing’ that is more disheart-’ ening to the publisher of a country newspaper;” than to be told, as he’ too often is, when soli-', citing subscribers, “I feel;too poor to take your j paper—l taka the Tribune, (or some other huge; foreign weekly) and it,only costs me a dollar 1 a year, and it contains twice as much leading as yours .does”—when thb receipts of one week" of the office named above would be double tbo yearly receipts of his county paper, and when: if the foreign papers werp published seventy years, itiwould not result in as much .benefit to himself and country m which he lives as would a single week’s edition of his own paper. Recollect, if a home paper is to be supported home influence must do it, Every dollar sent to the city papers is at the expense of the local papers is at the expense of the local paper. A county acquires prominence through its papers more than any other way, and to every onn who has county interests at .vnko his.home pa : I per is a necessity. Never will such a man take a paper printed away from home until be is able to take a second paper. His .first will be his bomasheet, and he will so identify hisqwn | interests With that of his county as to consider ! the payment of his subscription as a matter »1 os early a duty as the payment of his taxes; An Irishman being asked whether he did not frequently converse with a friend in’lrish, replied: “No, indeed, Jemmy often speaks to me ir Irish, but- I always answer him in English.' 1 “Why so?"
