SAUNDERS'S ROMANCE. §AUNDERS hat] read dime novels s a boy in New York. In the after* noons, as became home from school he bad bought them from some street corner ven der of "penny dreadfuls," ami bail gloated over them as only a small boy, born anil bred in a great city, can gloat over tales of the West. He had uot been discriminating, of course, and had had a natural leaning toward the most blood-curdling recitals; but he had chosen always something in some way connected with army life. Tho army was to him a beautiful dream, a highly varnished picture, and to be a part of it—a major part, of course, something liko a General, or, at tho very least, a Colonel—hail been front the first his one ambition. But destiny, in the shape of parents of stern and old-fashioned mould, the kind that thought, and accepted it as a convenient creed that, having in flicted life upon their offspring, they were entirely nt liberty to ruin that life—this destiny ordained that he should have a profession other than that of arms; iu short, that he should be a lawyer. Now, Saunders was of an age to judge for himself, and he knew that he was not tho stuff of which lawyers are made. Not tho slightest vestigo of eloquence had he; ho was blunt and truthful to a degree. He disliked a lie for its own sake. All this aud more he told his parents, but he was answered by tho logic which has rc- I tardeil the world's progress through so many generations, that they wero older and therefore wiser; that he j was their sou, and they knew better what was good for him than he could possibly. Sauuders, more from a sense of duty shan a fear of being disin herited of his father's goodly estates, accepted tlieir decision and began the reading of law. About this time he chose for a chum youth whose only possible recom mendation must have been that he could boast of army relatives. He bad visited in his sallow gosling days at a garrison, and was full of highly spiced tales regarding ihe wild daring and fascinations of a soldier's life. Saunders would drink in all these stories, anil despite his valiant efforts to forget them anil put temptation away, they would come back to him as he sat over the inexpressibly stupid folios relating to the law. One summer this chum of his invited Saunders to visit him at his country house on the Hudson. Saunders went aud spent the happiest two weeks of his life. For it wus there that he met Madge Kean, the bewitching little daughter of Colonel Kean, of the | Tenth. Saunders caught his first I glimpse of her as he walked with young Milton up tho driveway. Madge was armed with a Flobert rifle, anil was teaching the little sou of the house how to aim and pull tho trigger. There was something in her very pose, in the fact of her knowing how to shoot, that appealed to Saunders at once. He could not see her face, but nevertheless, he said to Milton that she was a "mighty pretty girl." Mil ton replied with pardonable pride that the young lady was his cousin, had just come from the far West, was of the array, and a "mighty pretty little flirt." Therefore, before Saun ders had e\en been introduced to the fair Madge, he was perilously near to being in love. When he stood beside her and Mil ton was saying, "This is my chum, Saunders, Madge; Miss Kean, Mr. j Saunders," when her bright eyes j glanced at him from uuder her j long lashes—just liko an untamed mustang's—when she smiled and : put out a hand all smutty with I powder, Saunders thought her the most bewitching woman ho had ever seen. And Madge, in her turn, made note of the fact that Saunders was tall, blond and extremely handsome, with that unmistakable air of self-posses- \ siou and refinement of a New York i gentleman. She determined that he I would be much better material to ex-I pend her fascinations on thau that milk- j sop of a cousin of hers. Shejwas glad ho had come, and said so. Saunders an swered, in a tone which carried con viction, that ho also was glad she had j come, anil Madge blushed through one of those clear, tanned skins which j change color with every emotion. Not ! that she was shy and Bchoolgirllah in her blushes; they were not a result of timidity. Cupid did not hit Saunders's heart with the traditional golden arrow this time. It was the tiny bullets of lead which went from the muzzle of the Flobert straight to the bull's-eye of the target that made the wounds which are inflicted sooner or later on every man. By the time the wee cartridge box was empty Saunders was hope lessly smitten. In the course of the next fortnight he came to that point where he would have even studied law with pleasure had she expressed an admiration lor law students. But she did not. He hail confided to her all his battled am bitions; had told her how his soul yearned for shoulder-straps ; and she, in turn, told him that the life of a soldier was the only one worth liv ing. He was too old for West Point; why didn't he try for a civil appointment? This had never occurred to him ; he would think it over. Ho asked her some questions, aud confided some of his ideas of garrison life to her. She laughed at them and told him that he was a "dear old tenderfoot." If it had not been for the tone of voice in which she said it, for the roguish, half fond glance from her mustang eyes, Saun ders would have been terribly cut up over that scornful word. I "Tenderfoot—tenderfoot," he ! After all he had read on the subject. Could it be that his source of information was bad ? He did not ask Madge this, however; he never put forth any of his ideas on the subject again, to her ; asked for no further information ; ho knew ho was missing golden oppor tunities for enlightenment, but ho did uot care to be laughed at. Ho was aware that nothing would so much in jure him in her eyes as to inako him self ridiculous. And Madge in that fortnight exerted, first, every charm she possessed, every power she could command, to bring him to her feet. Having succeeded in this, she used quite as much skill in keeping him from asking her to marry him. She didn't want to be married; she didn't even want to bo engaged, and he was only tho pastime of a summer's jaunt. Nobody took such flirtations seriously ; that is, nobody with any sense. If he couldn't see she was iu fun it wasn't her fault, was it? She wasn't account able for his being deficient in powers of preception, was she? A New York man ought to know how to take care of himself. Well, the little summer play was over. Saunders went back to town with tho secret determination to cut loose from the grind of the law read ing to go into the army. He had not told Madge of this; somehow, looking back on it, ho hadn't told her any thing tlmt ho had meant to; ho lmd been half afraid that sho would hvugli. It would never do to have her laugh. Of course, there was a big row at his home when he announced bis determin ation. But the breath of free air that he had drawn iu from contact with Madge made him see that he should have something to say iu tho matter of his own career. Moreover, he had the strength of love to uphold him. Ho surprised his parents by asserting his freedom of action, aud when they made it too disagreeable for his self respect to allow him to stay under their roof he left it, with paternal and maternal maledictions following him. He started in to obtain a civil appointment, and learned more, be fore ho realized his failure, of the nature of humau beings aud of the struggle for existence thau ho had ever known before. It came about that he obtained no civil appointment, and ho know that his father had done his best, covertly, that ho should not obtain it. This ono thing he could not forgive. Meantime ho longed for Madge with tho whole power of his heart. Ho wrote to her and received no reply. So lie supposed she had not got his letter. The thought that sho had ignored it did not come to him. Tho final refusal of a commission was a blow from which he did not recover for some days—he had lost heart for a time; but lie read in an Army aud Navy that Miss Kean had been des perately ill. That afternoon ho en listed as a privato soldier, and the next morning wore the blue. This was not being a Colonel or a General, but men had risen from the ranks to sudden fame and houor in tho books ho had read; besides, he was at his last penny. A little wave of disgust ran over him as ho learned that sl3 a month, with clothing, bed auil board, would be his share of the world's goods. He enlisted with that vague notion, which the uverago citi zen of that day had, that officers and men inhabited peacefully tho sanio quarters; that tlie barrack-room was a sort of happy-family cage, where shoulder-straps and chevrons went side by side. He had not stopped to think that the West was wide, and that lie might ho assigned to a post several thousand miles from the ono which his lady-love lighted with her presence. It was not until tho deed was done that this came to him, and then ho could only liopo and pray. As luck would have it, ho was sent to the very post where Colonel Kean was stationed. This did not exactly sur prise him; he took it as a matter of course that Providence should inter fere in behalf of Saunders—of one of the handsomest and most popular fel lows in his set. He wondered what his friends nt home thought of his OSCA paile. Then ho settled down to the discomfort of second-class accommo dations in a railway car. Fortunately for him, the garrison to which he was ordeied happened to be very near to the railroad, and he was spared a cross-country trip of a hundred or two miles. Words cannot paint the miseries that Saunders went through. They were uot physical miseries, for he was well sheltered, well clothed, uot oyer worked, and was spared the liumili- I ntion and pain of the raw recruit, who learns for the first time to bestride a j bare-backed horse. Saunders was au old baud at steeplechase, and had lit tle to learn, save a few technicalities. He did not even see Madge for threo days, but was induced to overcome his predetermination to call upon her. He ] saw within an hour after he had j stepped upon the reservation that he ! would hardly be welcome. It was bad enough not to be able to see his di vinity ; it was infinitely worse when, at lust, he met her. She gave a great gasp and start, blushed, and returned the bow, with just the slightest nod and condescending smile. He saw with dismay that ho was to her simply a menial —that he could not dare to I overstep the lino which divided them. I He got over his desire to shoot him self every time he was given nn order in her hearing after awhile. He j watched her flirtations with a gorge ous first lieutenant in bitterness of spirit, and the thought dawned on him that she was not true; but he hoped ! she would leave the first lieutenant when ho (Saunders) should have won his spurs. But even the spurs seemed I far away; he had come to understand that the jump from the uniform of an enlisted man into that of au officer is a difficult feat, or was in those days, and no chance for physical prowess piesonted itself. Morally he was ns brave as only a man in love can be. j Ho would have killed himself had he not been. More courage than to carry a stand ard to the cannon's mouth did it take ! for him to obey the first order to "po lice," with a fatigue party, the back yards of tho officers' quarters. To "police" is army for cleaning up, and i it is left, as a general thing, to tho I prisoners who happen to be in the | guard-house. But at this time there were very few prisoners, not more thau one or two, for the men had been upon their good behavior, it being al most two months sinco tho paymas ter's last visit, and no cash left to bo expended upon whisky at the sutler's. So Saunders sallied forth in fatigue suit—overalls and coat of canvas— and ho helped the others to sweep with stable brooms and to shovel up the back yards. In tho Colonel's yard he was merci fully spared meeting Madge—it would have been, he thought, the last straw —and he did not know that from be hind her filmy curtain she was watch ing him with amusement and pity, the while she turned about on the third j finger of her left hand a large solitaire I ring, and wondered what he would say when he heard of her approaching - marriage to the dashing young lieu tenant. Then tho police party wont on its way and canto at last to tho yard of that very lion tenant. There was ,a I half sheet of note paper in one of tho piles of dust and rubbish which had been swept up. Saunders noticed this —noticed, though it was crumpled, that the writing upon it was Madge's j pointed scrawl. He picked it up and slipped it into his pocket. It was not ! au honest thing to do, but he did not stop to think—he only wondered what I a note of hers was doing in this man's back yard and what was in it. When he got back to the barracks | he read tho note. There was enough therein to make him understand that Madge—his Madge—for whom ho had given up everything, for whom ho had endured so much humiliation, was to bo married in one week to that first lieutenant; that she was in love—des perately in love—with him, and did not hesitate to say so. Was the man ill love with liur? If ho was, why did he crumple up and throw away a noto for which Saunders would have given his very soul? Then Saunders looked about him I with eyes opened by despair. He saw at last the barrier of casto ill all its height and strength ; he saw what ho had done, and he shuddered. There were but two ways out of this unless ho v/aitod until his enlistment were up —four and a half moro years—and that he could not do. He could kill | himself, blithe was young, remember j it was not to be lightly done. And— j ho could desert. To his mind a do- i serter was not what it is to a man who has been long in the service—all the ' disgrace of it did not occur to him. If it had been explained to him he could not have grasped the full horror of it. So ho waited his chance for four days, and then "bolte.l," as his com rades termed it. Ho went a.vay from tho railway, thinking that ho'would I put those who were seat after him off the scent, and after a Jay or two circle round to reach the iron road, which ! would load him far from all this. On the third day, as ho trudged on ward to the railroad, dodging like a hunted criminal behind every clump ot mosquito or grcosowooj, he was ' overtaken, his bauds tied behind him, I and marched back to tho post under guard. At a turn of tha road tho party j drew aside and waited for au ambu- , lance to pass. Tho soldiers saluted I the officer inside. Saunders could not salute; his j hands were tied. Ho knew tho officer —it was the first lieutouaut; ho was going to the station with his bride. Madge looked out and saw tho de serter—saw him and turned her head. ! —San Francisco Argonaut.

Among tho many anecdotes which Illustrate the lare character ot Wil liam Augustus Muhlenberg is one which is told of him at the time he taught iu Flushing Institute. lie was most unsparing ot his own faults, even before his scholars, where they were concerned in tho circumstance. One of them, a young man very dear to him, o ten told in after years how, alter administering a severe rebuke to him one day, Mr. Muhlenberg at night put into h s hand a little box which contained money, and a brief note In which ha deplored that ho had "lost his tem per in the morning, and spoiled his j admonition by impatient tones and uglv looks." The note went on to say, "These ' accounts are not to bo settled be tween ourselves, but as a peace- ; offering, let me give you this Charity Box, to which i will add something j every time 1 offend in a similar way. and about the use of which I prom- I ise not to inquire. By this penance of love, my infirmities may at least be tho occasion of your benevolence." This arrangement, while It was undoubtedly a genuine expression of his grief and humility, may have also been one of his loving and ingenious ways of impressing upon the mind or his scholar ihe ground of the morn ing's reproof—the fault he wished to guard against and overcome.
