The vasea of heliotrope in Miss Delford's
dainty little parlor were distilling their
gweetest fragrance in the delicious eveniug
breeze that tossed the muslin curtains to
and fro through the wide, open windows,
and the cherry boughs overshadowing the
piazza eaves were hung with, sparkling
jewel sprays ot crimson fruit. July was
purpling all the horizon with amethyst
light; July brooded over the hills with
tender warmth ; and Clara Delford, in her
dark, rich beauty, seemed like a typic
blossom of the brightest month in all the
year.
Did Captain Yernei notice the changing
color in her olive cheek; the blaze that
glowed beneath -her jetty eyelashes, in
strange, seductive brilliance 't Did he
observe how artistically she had posed
herself on the tiny footstool close beside
Mildred Moore's shadowy white draperies
and pure, colorless features? Clara Del
ford understood contrast and harmony. -Captain
Verner did not; he only knew
that the two girls were like rose and lily
fervid sunshine and pale, whitestarlight !
"If I could only do something for those
poor, suffering soldiers," she said, break
ing the momentary silence as if in contin
uation of the previous conversation.
"Would itnot.be possible for me to devote
a portion of my small means to their com
fort r
Captain Verner smiled ; for the heiress
to speak of her "small means" seemed to
him even, like an unnecessary bit of os
tentation. "Certainly," he said ; "and I can assure
30U the mouey could not be spent to a
better purpose.".
""Will you object to acting as my treas
urer?" smiled Clara, with pretty, appealing
softness in her eyes.
"Not at all ; there nre in my own regi
ment many casea of hardship, and even
destitution, which it would give me great
pleasure to relieve. Thank you" as she
opened the tiniest of silken purses and
placed a banknote in his luind wfTh blush
ing coiilusion "I know from experience
hovr much good twenty dollars will do."
All this time Mildred Moore had sat
silent in the shadow of the cherry boughs,
but now she rose and quietly withdrew.
Captain Verner'fl eyes followed her slight
willowy figure wi'h involuntary attraction.
"You mtutn't misinterpret poor, dear
Mildred silence," lipped Clara, as the
door closed; "of course she is interested
in your hospital reminiscences, but I don't
think she cares very much about the poor
soldiers Milly's nature is not sympathet
ic, and "
"And," added the straight-forward
soldier, "her means are very limited. She
gives music lessons, or something, don't
she V
He had risen, and stood there, tall and
handsome, in the golden July moonlight,
Clara's beau-ideal of a man.
"Good-night, Miss Clara. I must stop
at Harwood Grange for five minutes, to
tell them about their two boys that fell at
Fredericksburg, and I've two or three
little errands to attend to in town. We
soldiers, you know, are scarcely at our own
disposal."
Jfe held the little jeweled hand in his
a moment, perhaps unconscious hew close
he pressed it, and the 11 vanished through
the crimson sprinkled branches of the
cherry trees. As he walked along, whist
ling softly to himself, he thought of Clara
in her strange, transcending beauty, of
her melting, liquid eyes, and her mouth,
like Cupid's bow, carved in scarlet coral.
"It was generous in her to give that
money," he thought. . "But I don't under
stand it's no business of mine, 1 suppose
but why couldn't Miss Mildred have
expressed her sympathy in words at least.
It annoys mc a little, and yet 'I don't for
the lite of me see why it should."
"You sent that set of onyx to. my moth
er V he askedan hour or so later, as he
entered the stylish little jewelry store in
the main street of the town.
"Yes"
"Then it's all right, and I may as well
settle the bill."
lie tossed a fifty-dollar Treasury Note
on the counter as he spoke.
"I hardly like to pari with that money,"
said he. "The fact is, I've kept it about
me so long that it seems almost like a
lucky penny. However, there it goes
hand over your receipt.'
He , dashed the bit of paper into his
rocket bock with the quickness that char
acterized all hia motions, and walked out
again, whistling the refrain that made a
sort of company for lm folittide.
It was nearly midnight, the air dewy
and sultry, and the stars beaming in the
violet concave of heaven, yet Captain
Verner sat in his balcony, looking out on
the summer niiiht, with the faint fragrance
of his cigar wreathed about him. Was
be thinking of. Mist? Clara Delford;'or-re
EBENSBURG, PA , THUKSDAY, JULY
"Half past eleven high time I was
asleep," soliloquised he, giving his cigar a
toss into the quiet street below, and enter
ing the room where a shaded lamp cast a
circle of subdued light on heaps of disor
dered papers.
"Hello what'? this?" he aid, taking
up a tiny note that lay lightly on the top.
"Thn is a new arrival in my chaos of
documents, or I'm mistaken."
The direction, "Captain Verner," was
in a strange handwriting, nor did the
contents afford any clew. Nothing appeared
further than a fitty-dollar note wrapped in
a bit of paper on which was written "For
the soldiers."
"Clara Delford again! was Verner's
first exclamation. "What it splendid
creature that is !"
The next glance, however, discovered
new ground of conjecture he held the
note in the glare of the lamp, turning it
eagerly from side to side. '
"I thought I couldn't be mistaken," he
muttered ; it is the very n,ote I paid
Atkinson to-night here are my initials,
"E. V." in the corner. Now how on
earth "
He paused abruptly in deep thought.
"Very provoking that I can't find out to
night," he murmured ; but I'll go to
Atkinson's the first thing in the morning!"
The early dew was yet weighing down
the half-blown roses in the simple town
garden, when Capt. Verner entered the
jewelry store where he had purchased the
set of onyx for his mother.
"What can I do for you this morning,
Captain V inquired the brisk little jewel
er, as he came forward, rubbing his smooth,
white hands.
"A great deal, Mr. Atkinson ; you can
tell me to whom 3-ou paid out this Treas
ury Note last night !"
He laid the mysterious "greenback"
on the glass ccunter; Atkinson took it up
scrutinized it closely, then referred to his
books. "Certainly lean," he said ; "I
purchased a very beautiful pearl ring from
a lady yesterday evening, and paid for it
with that very identical bill."
A pcariring! the simple words seemed
to throw hini off the scent again. The
jeweler unlocked his show case, and took
out a small violet-velvet case, lined with
white silk, in which glimmered a pearl of
surpassing beauty, set in a plain gold
circlet.
"There it is," he said. "Ten years ago
I sent to New York for that very ring,
ordered by Dr. Mcore as a birthday gift
fur his little daughter, then just twelve
years old."
"Dr. Moore !" replied Verner.
Yes. Times are sadly changed now,
yet I did cot suppose that Miss Mildred
would exer have been induced to part
with that favorite jewel the only relic, I
may venture to say, she has ever retained
of wealthier dajs."
Captain Verner looked down at the
ring through a strange unwonted, mist.
How different was this silent sacrifice of
sweet memories and old associations to
Clara Delford's ostentatious gift from her
overflowicg coffers! "Silver and gold
have I none ; but such as I have give 1
thee." The words cjme to him like a
revelation of Mildred Moore's nature.
Only nine o'clock, but not too early
for Mildred Moore to be watering her
sweet peas and geraniums in the cottage
garden. Nay, so busy was she with a tiny
pink blossom which Lad broken from its
iasteniijg, that she never heard approach
ing footsteps until Capt. Verner's shadow
fell across the flower border. Then she
started up, with large, dilated eyes, like
those of a frightened fawn, and carmine
burning in her usually colorless checks.
"Captain Verner !"
"Do not be startled, Miss Mildred," ho
said, with senile re assuring accents. "1
have only called to thank you for your
kind donation to the sick soldiers."
She clasped her hands over her face
like a child detected in some fault.
"I beg your pardon ; I did not think
I never intended "
- . 4 Nay," he interrupted, earnestly, tlI
have learned the history of the ring.
Your sacrifice is not unappreciated, and "
lie stopped, for she had burst into
convulsive sobs and tears. It was entirely
a new phase of her being. Captain
Verner sfood completely confounded. Had
he known her all these months and yet
remained ignorant of the passionate depth
and emotion of her character ? She was
there before him, no, longer tho fair
passionless statue, but a lovely woman,
made still lovelier by tears! The citadel
of his heart undermined long ago, uncon
sciously to himself surrendered at this
last attack. And who would blame him?
"Don't Mildred !'.' he said earnestly.
"lily dearest girl, if you knew how it
grieved me to see you weep "
"Pardon me," she faltered : tlT am
ashamed of being eo foolish, but itwa 11 j
I bad to give I", Srfll , t -
"Mildred," he whispered, opening the
violet-velvet casket, "I have brought back
the ring ; will you accept it again ?"
She looked at hint with startled eyes
and glowing checks, as if some deep
meaning lay hidden in his words.
"Let me place it on your finger, love.
Wear it as an engagement ring." He
went on : "Oh ! Mildred, I never knew
till now how dear you were to mo ! Will
you trust to me ? will you be my cherished
treasured wife ?"
"What Mildred's answer was is not at
all to the purpose only Mrs. Grundy
thinks it very strange "that Miss Moore
should wear a pearl engagement ring when
diamonds are all the fashion 1" Harper'
Weekly.
Jeffrie's Sayings
The person we generally love the most
is the one we see in the mirror.
The more ignorant some of us are, the
more will we try to make the people be
lieve we are wise.
There are many professors who are
not half so sorry ior the sins they have
committed as those they can no longer
commit.
Every man that finds a nest of golden
eggs should be allowed to cackle over
them.
No people are capable of nelf govern
ment who will first count the cost of their
liberties. ' .
1 Great and good men are the common
property of mankind, as all nations
have a share in the wealth of their intel
lects. In arguing with a fool you throw away
both your learning and eloquence.
Every fashion that is a useful improve
ment should be adopted.
To kill one man because he has killed
another is the law of vengeance,- but the
law of God says as much to the jury as
it does to the assassin "Thou shalt not
kill." .
The man who has become enamored of
himself has chosen a fool for a lover.
Good lawyers, like good ministers, are
like the salt of a nation; but a oae
horsc lawyer is a nuisance in any commu
nity. As marriage was not designed for
infants, children should not be allowed
to pop the question before they are
weaned.
It is wrong to mete out justice ac
cording to the wealth or poverty of the
ofirnder. .
A man's worth consists in his virtue,
not in his dollars and cents.
IJeauty adorned in the flowers of virtue
is more lovely than that arrayed in the
jewels of Golconda.
The bad mechanic will always condemn
his material.
There are some professors so spiritually
minded that they scarcely ever draw' a
sober breath.
We should pen injuries in the enow,
but our benefits in brass.
He that pours in his rum pours out his
reason. -
The men that provides not in summer,
must want in winter.
We should never mourn for that we
cannot have.
A dollar in hand is generally worth two
in the ledger.
None of us should be idle; the hen
with one chicken is as busy as the one
with twelve.
Who would be a Goat ? An "old
salt," who had been on a bender, had got,
what might be termed "sublimely misti
fied," by his frequent imbibings of the
critter. Staggering along the streets, he
thought to go to a theater, and pass the
remainder of the eveniug. Following
gome men, whom he thought bound on
the same voyage, he found himself in
what he took to be the pit, but it happen
ed to be in a meeting-house, and the min
ister was preacing from the text, wherein
is mentioued the sheep and goats ; and, in
order to make an impression vpon his
congregation, he put the significant ques
tion : "Who would be a goat ?" and
paused; and then, with still greater em
phasis, asked : "Who will be a goat?"
Our tipsy sailor could not brook the
delay, and at once responded :
"As nobody else (hie) will be it, I'll bo
the (hie) goat, rather (hie) than the play
should stop."
A colored servant f weeping out a
bachelor's room found a sixpence ou the
carpet, which he carried to the owner.
"You may keep that for your honesty,"
said he.
A short time after he missed his gold
pencil case, and inquired of his Ecryant if
he had seen it. ? - "
Yes, ir," was the reply. '. "
"And what did you do w.ith it V
"Kept it for my honesty sir '
T,bo old bachelor vanished.' ' -

Coming Back. Soon.
.
"Tou are coming back soon!" every
one says to the eager boy who is going
out from the quiet of his native village to
make hia way iu the great bustling world
beyond.
"Oh, yes as soon as I have made my
fortune," is the laughing reply, and the
good-byes are exchanged, and the 6tage
coach rolls off, bearing moro hope and
happiness on its back seat than, with the
same "occupant, it will ever bring back
again. '
"Coming back soon !" The little boy
knows that he may never come back !
Something may come that will be taller
and more graceful, and attractive, and call
his parents father and mother something
that will look half sadly, half contemptu
ously on the old familiar place where his
youth was spent, but the boy happy,
eager, hopeful and innocent has gone
forever.
"Coming back soon !" Is this young
lady, nngletted, flounced ana gloved, who
plays the. piano to a charm, and who looks
askance at kitchen, towel and broom, the
sun-browned, good-natured little Maggie,
who wore her curls filing in the summer
wind ? This young lady's locks are poma
tumed, sceutcd, carefully "done up," ac
cording to the latest fashion. Maggie
wore a blue ginghaui frock, which had
alwavs danced before his vision as the
most charming thins in existence, but

in the most expensive silks, and wears
hoops of such circumference that he can

tance. bometimes as they sit side Dy siae
he remembers the old times, and half
wishes they would come back again, but
his first glance at the composed tace besme
him annihilates the idea, and be heaves a
kind of rueful sigh, and lets it pas3 away.
Dye -and-bye, "Misa Marguerite" is mar

and he drinks her health in the west of

The fast young man and the woman of
fashion meet often in their gay city life
but the toy and the girl who have walked
hand in hand to school, have gone stray
ing away together over the strawberry field
and daisied pastures long ago, and nobody
thinks of saving to them "you are coming
back soon !"
"Coming back I" Who ever yet came
back and found all things unchanged ?
Drive the long remembered road, and you
wiil miss here a tree, here a patch of
daisies and buttercups, and here and there
an old gray farm house which you fondly
hoped would outlast jour day and genera
tion. Enter the town which was once "a
"happy valley" to you, and what do you
see 1 Only a puuy village, with the
pleasant walks you used to love turned
into ambitious side-walks, and paved with
the roughest of stones; with old, familiar
houses and fences re-modelcd and new'y
painted, till you lose all the landmarks,
with everything changed, and you, it may
be, most of all ! Sit down, if you will, in
your lonely room, and call up the forms of
those you loved, who are now scattered
away, and try to people the dusty streets
with more beloved faces. Can you succeed?
Is it not a poor, pale phantom that you
strive to press to your aching heart? Was
it wise in you, after all, this "coming
back." Oh, the past is beautiful to look
at, but when, afar off, we stretch out our
hands to bring it nearer, it vanishes, and
leaves nothing in our grasp but thin, un
substantial air.
"Strange!" I sit in my lonely room
to day, and miss something familiar
something sweet something dear very
dear! It will never linger here again,
the sunlight falling through the casement
will never linger here again ; the sunlight
falliuc through the casement wili never
shine on mc'.here any more. Oue page of
life's romance has been read; shut the
book and put it away. Much that might
have blessed me much that I might have
joved much that I Bball never .meet
again aud much that has consecrated
this little room has passed away like a
dream of beauty, and will beam and
brighten here no more. It is not, cannot
be "coming back soon."
liut there is a land thank God there
is a land where all the lost light and love
liness of life shall cluster around us with
tenfold the glory it has won for us here !
There is a land where there shall be no
moro partings and no more tears ; where
the young and the old, the happy and the
wretched, the bond and the free, shall all
know the loving kindness and tender
mercy of a God whose divine attribute is
love. -

NUMBER 44;
Family lianies.
. . It is a vulgar notion thai sbnie .n.amea
are necessarily noble and romantic, while
others are necessarily mean and bape.
Names are beautiful only in associations.
Worth, valor, genius, learning, have cbn
verted syllables into poem's, anil words
into histories.
Look the British Peerage through, and
in that bright list there is, perhaps, sot
one which does not seem to tho eye and
imagination picturesque. Yet, in their
beginning most of them had nothing in
sound or spelling that could be considered
glorious. Howard is a Hogward; Sey
mour is a tailor; Leicester is a weaver J
Percy is a gross fellow; Batler is a cellar
man ; Stewart is a domestic servant. Vaen,
Vere, Hyde and Pole sound the reverse of
heroic. Hay is not intrinsically noble
than straw. How is it, then, that Hajr
has come to r.eprcsetit the pink of aristoci
racy, Straw the lowest of vulgar cheats T
Simply by association. Would the com
plainants like to have been originally
called Blunt, Craven, or GoreT There is
nothing in Grey more attracting thari
Brown, as to either sound or letters ; in
deed, Giey is a shade or eo less vigorous
than its rival Browa. Would any one
like to have been known as Boper or Tod
chct, if these familiar names had never
been immortalized by worthy deeds? We
do not know that Gimlet has a more far
miliar look than Bacon, Petty, Peel, ahi
Pitt. Yet these have become by associa
tion 6ome of the most reverential and
gracious of English names. Milton, Sack
ville and Shelley are not necessarily
aristocratic and poetical. Had they not
boen glorified by genius and by rank, they
would perhaps have been included in Mr.
Buggy's list. Churchhill, Fuller, Kidd,
Quarles, Donne, Bawles, Savage, Quincy,
and Dickens, now household words, borno
by some of the choicest of our national
poets and humorists, would certainly have
been so. Not much better as to sound are
Cowper, Lamb, and Bulwer. People used
to laugh and joke with Cecil. Talbot and
Talmash would be considered vulgar. Ev
ery one considers Raleigh a roraantio
name, but in Sir Walter's time it was open
to very bad puns. The same with Drake.
Coke, too, would be thought low, had it
never been illuminated by the author of
the "Institutes," and the owner of Holk
hara. In the absence of Sir Christopher
would Mr. Tigg like to have een called
Wren ? Had there been no erudite giant
of that name, would not Cheeke have been
voted intolerable ? In truth, scarcely any
thing depends on the letter, everything on
the connexion of ideas. Solomon was the
wisest of men, and his name is one of the
noblest in literature; yet no prudent fath
er, unless he were a Jew, would give it to
his child, because in tho present genera
tion it happens to be ludicrously associated
with old clothes. In its Saracenic form
tof Solyman, it would still.be considered
magnmcent. A current jest will destroy
the picturesque beauty of the most famous
names; a living Pompey would be set
down as a nigger, a living Caesar treated
as a dog. Cymon is a name which would
j attract the female eye, and, perhaps, evenv
reconcile it to the adjunct Smyth. Mrs."
I Cymon Smyth would have an air upon sr
1 T? r : i. 1 j
recoil from Simon. And why the differ
ence ? Is it not because Cymon is sssocV
ated with Iphigcnia, and Simon with the
Simpleton who met a pieman coming fronr
a fair? One of the objectionable names,-1
to remove which from the face of the
earth all gods and men are called to aid,'
is Vilain. Yet theHogwards and Sty wardr
were all vilains ; and one of the proudest
houses of Europe, that of Count Vilain;
the Fourteenth; rcjoiees in tho obdoxiout
name.
