" She is coining with ber brothers and some friends of theirs to see her future home." He did meet ber that evening. " I think Mr. Bhgh ban been rather ner row a boat introducing rue to you." Miss Dundee said, quickly making: way for Tbeo to take a seat on the soft by "her aide; ** he's more than bait alraid that you won't like me, and if you don't it trill make him very unhappy."

She was not false or fickle in reality, she was only intensely fond of the excitement of being put npon a pedestal, and being only worshiped in the sight ol all num. There came a day when it was revealed to her suddenly, so suddenly that It made ber dizzy, and then she behaved— I ke a woman. One morning, uncle, nephew, and Miss Dundee met. "Tbeo ha* been talking this morning of leaving us soon; before he goes, dear, we most let him know what day be n to come bark and bail yoo a* an annt" It aost Mr. Bligh more than a slight effort to make this speech with apparent eare, for during the last few daya be had not been blind of tight. But be succeeded in doing so, and only he himself suspected the pain his own words gave bun. " Going 1 Tbeo going!" exclaimed Mire Dundee, lapsing from fun Into surprised solemnity in s moment, and laying ber whip with a frank caressing gesture on Theo's arm as she spoke. •" On. don't think of going.

" He know* I love her." poor Tbeo moaned in his heart, and "He sees I know it," Mr. Bligh thought, with not one whit leva pain. And a silence fell on tlietn, and in that silence Madge saw things cleirly at last. T<J recognize tbe low of one man in the presence of another man who has a right to feel jealous of it, U to he in position of the greatest danger and delicacy and diffi culty. Poor Madge flinched for the first moment when she found herself in it, hut the next instant she recovered herself, and, with tbe generos'ty of a woman, sought to put them well witn one another without regard to herself. "It waa selfish of me to say I wouldn't spare YOU, for it must be dull for you bore; but the fact is, Tbeo has spo.lt me, just as my brothers do, and I hare fallen into the way of ordering him about as I do them, forgetting he isn't a brother." It was terribly trying work fortbem all, weighted with tbe discoveries they bad recently made about each other.. It be came insupportable to Mr. Bligh after a short time, and so be sauntered out into the garden, and Tbeo and Madge were alone. Her spirit rose with ber sense of danger, as docs that of all finely-organised nature*, and she turned to him lirigbt and brave at once, though he had grown to be very dear to ber, and though she knew that be was suffering horribly on ber account. "It seems to mc," she *akl "that we're all very weak and wrong to let a shadow net tle over the last visit you'll have with us, until I >m an old married woman, witb household cares on my shoulders, that trill crush down my love of visits."

It was a ghastly *tate of affaire, and as •ooa a* he could, Theo Bligh made an end of it, by going away. The two men bad no verbal explanation on leave-takiug. but they parted as comrades who had been wounded in the same fight might part. And then Theo found that, tboagh exis tence was not embittered to him, the savor bad gone from the old pleasure*. It waa decidedly not wwth while now, he felt, to trr and do anything good or definite; for lie could never Ami a woman to share his glory or *mile upon his niece**, who could put Bonnie Dundee out of hi* mind; after her other women did and would always appear to be wauting in something. She had the trick of making other* appear tame, and pale, and insufficient. and— well, the man who ha* been shown upon by a star, never feela tbat there is mncb warmth m a taper. He banished himself so effectually that he heard no tidings from the Chase tor *ix months, and then be ventured to send his address to bis banker, and to have letter* forwarded to him ; but before these letter* are read, a retrospective glance at the Bon nie Dundee must lie given. She bore hi* departure very bravely. Kemembel how many other interest* were -burning her attentiou at the time, and re member the ardent, impressionable, change able nature of the girl. There was a good deal of the woman. She had the faculty of fi-eling intensely for the time, and of getting over things. Is not that last char acteristic the secret of many women keep ing right, and of many others going wrong * It brushed the bloom of the peaeb roughly when he went away, for tbat vailed idolatry of Lis bad been very pleas ant to ber; nevertheless ehe bore it bravely, and made the best ot that which remained to ber. "I am ao sorry, for I waa ao fond of bim," she mid to her lover, with tbat disarming frankness which women of her calibre know ao well bow to use. And Mr. Bligh, bearing her, did not wonder that his nephew had been scorched by the fiery ordeal through which be had been paaerd. There wa* this about it, too, that it wa* such dean fire that even ber own sex could not despise ami condemn and prophecy evil thing* concerning Mb* Dundee'* warmth. Ju*t a* she loved ligLt, ami dancing, and fiowcre, and sweet sou mis, so did ahe love to be loved; and though it made her dangerous, it never made her despicable. And somehow men understood thai, and ao faltered her other foible*, because of tbeir gladness that she wa* tree from greater one*. It was only about a week betore the day fixed lor their marriage, that Mr. Bligh ventured to speak decisively to her. V ery earnestly and gently be spoke, beseeching ber to open all her heart to bun, and to tell him if any other image had ever dis placed his. And Madge listened to him thoughtfully, and analyzed her own emo tions, and finally answered him. M If he had come first, I should have loved Tbeo desperately ; as it was, I didn't dan let myself. You're not afraid, are you." "Dnlv for your happiness, my poor child," be said, " not for my own honor." M like you so much, you know," she said, energetically—" it does seem* so bard that one can't express all one's littlegrada lions of feeling in words—l like you so miyh—but it's dark to me now without him," she added, with a sudden passion that carried ber out of herself, and con vinced him that she could never be bis wife. H. is the younger man—and—you are right." He tried to say it salroly, but it was an awful blow;'and again, as the strength of bis manhood wasriiakeu, Madge wavered, and strove to comfort him. " Let things go on and I shall forget him, or grow indifferent to him; I know mvself—l shall live in down." " You need not, poor child, lor be loves you too." " Yes. I know that,'' abe answered with the reck lex* openness that made ber what the was. After that, so much of the world a knew the Bligh* and Dundee* had a fresh and delightful source of wonderment for ■ time. The marriage between tbe owner of tbe Cbsse and Madge was broken off. and still they were friendly; and still neither would listen to one word against or com ment on the conduct of the other. Time would tell, people said sapiently, reserving their belief as to what time would tell to themselves. Six months passed, and then Tbeo Bligh received those letters of which mention has been made. One waa from Madge, and contained these words: "Your uncle has promised to explain everything. I need only say that 1 shall always be your faithful friend, Madge Dundee." Tbe other was from bis uncle, and con tained a free forgiveness, (this was only implied, not coarsely volunt-erod,) and a fuil account. "Come back and win what I have lost, and as I love you as my son, so will I love her as my daughter." That was something tike an invitation from a defeated to a successful lover ! Once more fat* was against things right -1 ing themselves in tbe clear and good way that was made so open. Theo had by this time taken a situation in a mercantile bouse in New York—a situation of trust, which he could not hastily quit, or place another man in rashly. Great interest* were involved in it, which be could not endanger by hi* absence for a year at least. But life was bright to him again, tad he bore tbe delay bravely, having 1 inimitable faith in the girl be loved and in tiniKlf.

The steamer was a faat one, and in a It rtnight he was down at the Chase, graaping bis uucle'a band.

But it dulled hia life, and robbed bim of his belief in the good news and tldelitT of women Notwithstanding which he forgave her, and was friendly with her in the after years; and though her fickleness had earned his contempt, he never paid the debt. And ao poetical justice waa not awarded to the " flagrant flirt" Bonnie Dundee, who would have been a better woman if ahe bad not been M> thorough a one. A very curious case ha* been on trial in one of the Pennsylvania court*. In 1 fitly n young man made a contract with Bather A Co., wool dealer*, of Pitta burgh, to furnish about thrae thousand pounds of wool, repreaentivg himself to be a nun of one John Dinsniore, a well know farmer living in Muith township He then turtle a purchase of the woo) from Mr. tKuamnre. at thia time repre tenting himself to he an agent of Barker A Co.. and the wool was shipped in aaalm furnished by that firm, the bill of lading showing that the shipment was from Dinsmore hi Barker A Co. On the ar rival of the wool at Pittabnrg it wa* taken from the railroad depot, and a re ceipt given for it signed either by the enterprising young man who waa con ducting the busines*. or by the drayman employed by Barker A 6o.—which of the two waa a dispnt* d point before the jnry. At any rate, the wool went to the warehouse of the firm, who paid the pre tended son of Dinamore the sum agrees! upon, after which that young man left for parts unknown. A few daya after ward the fanner who had been the real owner of the wool ap|>iicd to Barker A Co., for hi* money, having been told that it would be ready for him at that time, and the discovery was made that the young ma.i was a swindler, who had deceived both parties. The fanner naturally wanted to lie paid for bis wool, while the wool dealer*, having paid the rnau who has delivered it to them, quite as naturally considered that they had nothiug to do with any tranaactious be tween that individual and Mr. Dinsniore. The latter brought suit in Allegheny District Court for the value of the wool, mud, after one trial in which the jury failed to agree, gained a verdict for the *itm of £3,121.71. the judge instructing the jmy that as Dinsmore bail consigned the property to Barker A C-0., and the latter had received the consignment, the liavment of the proceeds to any third INi'rty must be at the risk of the pur ctiaser. An sppea was taken to the Supreme Court iltillditiff Soelftkw England. Iu London, there are 52,000 meiu tiers of 2,000 Building Societies which have made returua, possessing X 4.217.000 of asset* ; and the number of moieties la be lieved to be reallr double the number stated, many very important societies being omitted in the returns. In addi tion, there are Laud .Societies, which serve a similar purpose, and owning £2,- 000,000. The Building Societies of London alone will thus own aliont £lO,- 000,000, divided into 100,000 members, who constitute a very large item in the population of the metropolis. Many of the members are of the middle class, clerks and shopmen. Building Societies are even more de veloped out of London than in it Lan cashire alone is cat mated to have 1,428 societies, with nearly 50,000 memlier* ; but these are the imperfect return*, and the number should probably lie doubled. In the town of Burnley there are 8,000 members of building societies, owning shout £150,000 worth of property ; iu Oldham there are (16 societies, each con taining, on the average, I*lo shares worth £l2O each, or nearly £BOO,OOO, which may be considered the property acquired every fifteen years; in Manchester, Ash ton, "and other places. Building Socie ties manifestly play an important part, the chief supporters, according to unan imous testimony, being the ' 'mill hands." It is the same in other parts of England. Newcastle, Sunderland, Liverpool, Leeds, Halifax, and Bradford have all powerful societies; one society in the latter town is spoken of as having £621,- 000 and another has £290,000. HUNT'S Cow.—One of our neighbors, WON suspected, a few days since, of watering hi* milk. Men were employed to watch the large milk can for neveral mornings. Finally they caught him in the early twilight pouring water from the pump into the can. Some town wagn took the oaae in hand. At twelve o'clock they crept up to bia back-door, puahed it open with a whang—bruig smash ! and exclaimed— " Mr. Hunt, your best cow is fcliok ing ?" " Great Heavens 1" cried he hastily pulling on bia trowsers, and rushing up the hill to tbe barn. Nobody waa to IKS seen—the cows were all standing in tbe moonlight chewing their quids, and Hunt retained too mad to swear.

A Swindling Case. Hunted Ham, Two uiu were arrested iu Fraukliu couuty, Tetiu., a few days ago, aa the murderers of RltnufU 11, ltortou. The fact, of this rather extraordinary case are, that Mr. Uortou, who lived fourteen miles lielow Winchester, and uear the luouutain, wa* shot from hi* horse by some persons from a concealed place in the corner of a fence. Several Craoua heard the shot*, ami the dead dv waa found a few minute* after ward. Upon exaniinstion it wa* found that two men had Imen eouceuled in s comer of the fence, joat where the road made a andden turu into a little branch, and from where the home's tracks, and ths plane where the body was found, it wa* clear that he a a*" shot while the home wa* driuking. The ciack* of the fence had all been stopped with weed* except the one through which the pin* were put Thia Wa* jttat liefure mindowu Friday evening. Horton waa return ing from town, and aas within s mile of home, in s thickly settled coun try, there Wing several houses in sight The coroner's iury gave a verdict that the killiiig as* done by two unknown persona. The death of Mr. Horton waa tele graphed to Col. A. M. Colyar, of Nash ville, who at once commenced to make inquiries, but found that no one had left the settlement Taking two or three reliable men with him, Colyar went rapidly from houae to honsc to hear the story of "everv man and hi* family—in terrogating each separately—a* to hi* whereabouts ou the day of the murder; and at s aohool-h(>nae where the chil dren were all examined separately, one boy stated that a Wy named Bill Martin told him that Monroe and Hop Martin were out ou the mountain aide that day (Friday last) hunting sheep. Thia Bill denied upon examination. Monroe wa* was Uen first seen and hia story heard. They agreed that they left the bouse of one of them about one mile front where the murder waa committed, and that they both went up the mountain and stayed together until thev returned. But one said they came back be.'ore sundown, and the other that th*-y returned one hour after dark. Without beiug formally arrested, these men were kept uutil the wit day, bnt not allowe Ito talk to etv-h other. Soon in the morning, CoL Colyar started with one of them to show his trip through the mountain, which he did, climbing and olumU'ring until he reached a point at the top of the mountain lietween three and four mile* from home, then returniug by a different route. Imme diately afterward the other w.oi taken and directed to travel over the route which thcv both agTeeil thev had traveled to gether only last Friday evening, and he reached the mountain ly a route at least two miles distant from the point where the other reacned it. The routes, going and returning, were totally different,and no man ever took a walk with more trepi dation than did the last one, knowing that the other had first been over the ground. These two men were born and bred at the foot of the mouutaiu and know every path. This was regarded aa the strongest sort of evidence, but on examining their shoes it was found that they exact- Iv conformed to the measures. Their feet fitted the tracks precisely. Both of three men lived on a farm adjoin ing that of Mr. Horton. in sight of his house, had long been hostile to him, and bad thrcateued his life. An Anecdote of Everett. In his speech at the Amherst semi centennial commencement Professor Park said : "I hare recalled this after noon a accne which occurred thirty-six \ ears ago, on the day preceding the commencement. Edward Everett then delivtred the oration. In the midst of the oratiou he uttered one sentence which called forth bursts of applause. " I will read that aeutece : • Before the admiring student of nature baa re alized all the wonders of the world, let him ait down and kucw the nnivere in which he lives, by examining the races of snimals disporting theum-lres in their representative ocean—a drop of water.' " After that sentence, it appeared as if all Amherst College would not cease to clap their hands and stamp their feet, and yet you seem to be unmoved by the recital. * Sow the question comes, what is the reason. The reason is found in the studied artlrssness of Edward Ev erett. While ho VM on the point of apeaking tho words, a ' drop of water,' ho turned carelessly and saw a giant of water on tho table. Ho pnt hi* fingrr in tho glass, and a drop of water was suspend ed therefrom. I have it on tho Iwat authority that six or seven weeks before that oration was deliTer-d, Even tt wrote a letter to a friend in Boston asking him whether so bold a gesture would be proper." DISCOVERY or ANCIENT HRLICW IN MAINE.— The Brunswick TrUyrmA speaks of the discoveries at Pemaqnio. These discoveries were made on the Lewis farm, the Western fort, so-called, in re lation to which there is not even a tradi tion, much less a recorded history. The IVmnqnid people being thoroughly amused, have Iteeu turning np the soil within the last four weeks, and have un earthed a faced wall extending from the shore Westward in the direction of the terrace which fates to the North, toward the tan-pit, from which, within a few years, bits of leather have lieen taken. A perfect axe also ha* been discovered with an ey. for the handle (unlike that for modern axes) fitted like the eye for a hoe handle. Bits of blue crockery, glans, and tiles, for hou*e roofs, have lieen taken from the soil. Now si! these arti cles have an ago in which they were used, and when that is determined, after careful investigation, the period of Perns quid settlements may possibly be ap proximated.

She was allowed to remain longer than the rules allowed, and when notified by the keepers that she must leave she got angry, declared that she was Coffey's lawful wife and would not leave without him. She swore she would releane him or die in the attempt. Hhe was ejected by force and came there again on the next evening, when she threatened to pull dowu the jail if her husband waa not released.

From Caps Florida northward the coast ia open to the ocean and no shelter is afforded the. wrecking -craft For this reason the wrecked vessels are often not visited by wreckers for several days after they go ashore. There is a such a harvest of wrecks, in fact, after a storm on tin* coast that the wreckers are obliged to confine their duties to the ground they hare been watching. Ker, about midway batwevn Cape Florida" end Key Wert, is the rec ognised rendexToos of the wreckers. In former days, when there ware giro! numbers of ships laden with cotton posninc oat from the Gulf to our own ports and those of the Old World, wrecks were, of course, more common.. A vast amount of wealth was carried by even one ship, and if the vessel became hope kealy stranded a rich harvest was enjoy ed bv the wrecker*. This harvest, let us show plainly, la s purely legitimate matter of business. The wreckers fit ont and man their vessels or they re fitted by companies, and are legally al lowed by license to pursue the calling. As we naTc shown, they station their crafts on certain ground, and thereby net aa watchful sentinels. Should life I* in danger when a wreck is disoovcred, and should the vessel happen to go ushore in a heavy storm, it is fortunate for the sailor or traveller that these vigilant, fearless watchers are at hand. When life is saved, then a goodly num ber of stout men are ready to bargain tor the restoration of the ship and cargo, j This may be done by a private arrange ment, or by the action of the United States Marine Court at Key West The owner* of the vessel we obliged to pay certain amounts to Mch number of the wrecking-vessel as salvage. The vessel lias its share, the captain or chief wreck er his, and the crew their portion. To fully appreciate the services of these men we need only imagine tliern re moved from these nlaoes.
