KETCvETlI'St ATIBISC.VDL.

A Cliariainar Story.

"Three girU domiciled in the verynext room. There's an cml of uiywriting for one month at least."'Kenneth Ioss pushed his papers

into a confused heap, and lighted a;ciar iu a sort of quiet despair.

"There are my cousin, Flora,Alice Ayiner aud Hose Fern.aU blueeyes, black eyes and luelting KrayBy the way, that little monkey Kosaisn't bad-lookin- g. I rather fancythat peculiar Bhacte of filbert brownhair, and big ifray eyes, and cheekswhere the blood flutters like a pinkpennon. Rosa Fernall would maken tolerable ntudy for my next hero-ine. I may a well put her to someiirtpful purpose JJeigho!"

Kenneth Jvoss paused a moment,an the peal of girlish laughter echo-ed in the adjoining apartment.

"They are laughing at me, I'llwager my opal scarf. Girls alwaysthink a bachelor fair game; they'vono more respect for the diguity ofman than so many Brazilian mon-keys!"

And Mr. IIoss looked rather com-placently In the mirror Joppisite,which reflected an oval brown face,with shining black hair aud mous-tache, brilliant dark eyes, aud amirthful, spirited mouth.

Tap! tap! tap! sounded softly onthe panel of his door evenwhile he was engaged in tak-iu- g

this personal survey of himself,and he had just time to take his ieetoft" the table before Miss Flora Edge-wort- h

put her sunshiny little headiuto the room.

'Cousin Kenneth, are on there?""Yes.""May we come in?''"Why, you'll conic in whether I

rrant permission or not, and may aswell say Yes!"

"I just want the girls to see whata dear liitle scholarly den you havegot here, all hung with pictures andmeerschaums and deer's horns, anddarling, dismal skulls, and "

Flora threw open the door andadmitted her companions rosy,laughing damsels of eighteen andt went

"Here he is, sills; the old bache-lor, as he appears in his nativewilds!"

"Now, I tell you what, young la-

dies," said Mr. Itoss, throwing hihalf-smok- cigar deliberately outof the window, "Imust trouble youto be a little less unceremonious?"

For Alice aud Flora had poutn edon his loose manuscript, and wciealready laughing ovci the rather il-

legible chirography.Miss Feruall stood near the door,

a little confused, aud very pretty, inher blushes and uncertainty.

"Alice! Flora! don't!" she ap-pealed.

"It's no use. Miss Uosa!" saidKenneth, despairingly, "Girls, willvou be so kind as to leave my writ-ing desk aloue? There is no use inlooking in that drawer, cither, un-less you aro particularly interestedin blacking brushes and old boots."

"How can you, Flora?" pleaded theshocked Kosa.

"Oh, my, girls'." twittered MissEdeworth, ecstatically, "here's abottle of real, Farina cologne. Outwith your pocket handkerchiefsbe quick!

But Mr. Ross preserved a statelysilence.

"Don't be cross, Kenneth," saidFlora, sprinkling a scented dew onher yellow curls from the slender,foreign-shape- d bottle. "We're going iiown to tne post onice how.Roa Fernall has written a twelvepage letter to her sweetheart out inCanada "

"Flora!" exclaimed Rosa Fernall,t urniiig scarlet.

"And" pursued the relentlessFlora, "we're going to post it.Come girls, the suu is getting moreoppressive every minute."

And the next moment Mr. Rosswas left alone in the summer sileuccof (he room, with heavy musk rosesnodding at the open casemeute, andthe dreamy murmur of mapleboughs aud far-o- ff bees iu his ear.

"A twelve page letter to hersweetheart!" pondered Mr. Kennethwith a very ominous contraction ofhis eyesbrows. "bhe must have hadsomething very interesting to write.1 wonder who is, Canada, eh? 1 wishit was Van liieniau's Land."

Mr. Ross rose from his easy chair,aud began to walk up aud down thelioor.

"It's too confounded hot tobreathe here!" he said, impatientlytaking up his straw hat, "I'll go andtake a tramp in the woods. Twelvepages! what could she have found tolilfup twelve pages?"

Flora Edgewoith had succeedediu planting a thorn in her cousin'sbreast, all uiicouicious though shehad been.

The suu was low iu the cloudless

ANDTENNESSEE,western ky, when Kenneth Rossreturned from his abstracted ram-ble iu the woods, and the wide, oldfashioned country house was verystill, as he ascended the oaken stair-case, aud went absently along thecorridor towards his own apart-ment.

"IIal!o:"Mr. Ross gazed vacantly around

the room with something of the be-

wildered feeling that miiit have be-longed to the Eastern prince, whenhe found himself transported frompolo to pole in au enchatcd dream.

"I'm in the wrong room, I do be-lieve for there is Flora Edge-worth- 's

white zephyr shawl on theled, aud Rosa's black velvet Derbyhit, and no end of ribbons, andgloves, and lace collars on the bu-

reau. I don't sec how I ever cameto make such a blunder I musthave been in a brown study!"

He balanced the coquettish littleblack velvet "Derby hat" ou hishand as spoke.

"So this is the fashionable style ofchapcati, eh? It certainly is a factthat women borrow their dress ideasnowadays from the nobler sex.This hat is just a fac simile of mylast summer's tile, and that littlesacquc with the big horn buttonsis my cutaway coat over again. Iwonder now whether Rosa s littlehat would lit me?"

Mr. Ross adjusted the article ofdress on one side of his curls jaunti-ly, and viewed himself, not ed

iu the mirror."Upon my word, it don't look so

bal, only this long, dapping veil isconfounaedly in the way. Andnow where' the sacque. A littletight in the sleeve, but otherwisequite a deceut lit, if a fellow holdshis arm well back. There's Alice'sblue mnslin dress. I've two mindsand a half to put it on, just for thefun of the thing.''

A momentary silence eusned fol-lowed by the rustling of muslin.

"Don't meet 'round the waist bvgood six inches, but I ran hold it up.L wonder what makes the thing dragon the floor and hang 'round one'sers so! Oh 1 I know, the crinoline

ought to go under."or the "dignity o manhooa" we

arc reluctant to chronicle the factthat our hero, intent on the tableauxsolitaire, did actually then and thereproceed to thecloset, aud piraticallytake down a hoopskirt. which hesolemnly put on !

Jupiter! how comical it feels;1he ejaculated, with an amused lace:" Whv, I should not dare to go within a yard of a vase or statuette, andI'm quite certain I should swamp allthe chairs and tables 1 came near!Bother this trailing muslin alwaysin the way."

tor Mr. Ross had uuthiiikiii'riyplunged his masculine boot throughthe delicate fabric of the dress.

"I'm not certain but that I shouldmake quite a nice looking woman,"mused Kenneth, strutting back-wards and forwards before the mir-ror, with his Derby hat balanceddaintily, aud the blue muslin reveal-ing about a foot and a half of calfskin boot and trousers. "On thewhole! Tomb of the prophet! isthat the girls?

Mr. lCoss gave a blindly desperatejcrk at his sacque, and a pull at the Icrinoline, but all in vain. i

Ihe sweet, gay voices, intermin-gled here and there, with a ringing.augh, or a snatch of song, drewnearer and nearer.

For an instant Mr. Ross wildlycontemplated a rtuh through thehall to his own door, but a moment'sreflection convinced him that sucha retreat would be 6imply impossi-ble.

"I must stay and face it out," hethought with a cold perspirationbreaking out ou his forehead; "buthold on there's the closet. It's justpossible they will only slay here aminute or two."

And Mr. Kenneth Ross, totallyoblivious of the majesty of man,fled precipitately into the closet,tumbling over his criuoliue andmuslin in a most disastrousmanner, and hopelessly splittingopen tho scams ol poor Alice'ssacque.

Why tho deuce didn't I think tosecure tho key? he thought, as thegirls streamed Into the room. "How-ever, 1 can hold tight on to the doorhandle if any one attempts to get in.If by Jove if the girls should seemo in this rig, I should never hearthe last of it. I don't see, cither,why I'm obliged to play the'eaves-droppe- r,

against my will."He leaned up against the shelves

aud breathlessly waited the progressof events.

"Why, ejaculated a soft voiceRosa's own" w here's my Derby?Was I careless enough to leave itdown stairs? Flora, you have hid-den it."

"I wonder what you'll accuse meof next," said Flora, in an injuredvoice."

"You told Mr. Ross that cousinSimon's letter was to to "

"Y'our sweetheart. Well, heought to be I'm sure. Mr. SimonMontrose is the handsomest youngman I know."

"Oh, Flora, he don't compare withMr. Ross.

"Roa Fernall be honest, saidFlora, speakiug indistinctly; withtwo or three hair-pin- s in her cherrymonth; which do you like the best,cousin Ken. or Simon Montrose?

"Flora!""Tell me, now, honestly."The answer came in alow, tc

voice"Kenneth!"The heart under Alice's sacque

gave a great joyous leap.Mr. Kenneth Ross's head came in

contact with something on the up-per shelf, and down came a rain ofband-box- es on his occiput.

There was an instant's terrifiedsilence, and then all the gil ls beganto scream in choru .

"Mercv! ejaculated Alice, Whatis it?"

"How silly we all are! said Koatremulously, it is only the cat.

"As if a cat could make such anoise as that, sobbed Flora. "CallUncle John bring a revolver! Alice,do look and see w hat it is:

"No, you look, faltered Alice, re-treating behind the bureau.

"I'll Took myself," said Rosa Fer-nall, bravely advancing to the res-cue.

But when the door handle refusedto turn even she blanched.

"Some one is holdiug the door in-

side. Call the men.""There is no necessity, quoth a

voice from behind the panels."And the next moment the closet

door llew open, aud crinoline, and acountenauce whose utter shcepish-ncs- s

can never be described.'Cousin Ken!" shrieked Flora."Mr. Ross," faltered Miss Fernall." Why, it can t be possible," ejac-

ulated Alice.And then the three girls clung to

each other iu irrepressible parox-isms of laughter.

"The fact is, ladies," commencedKenneth, confusedly, "I won'tsome one help me off with thimouse trap ol a hoop-skirt- ? MisAlice, I'm very sorry I've split voursacque opeu, but well if you don'tstop laughing, 1 can't explain; that'sthe lonr and the short ot it

But Rosa Feruall had stoppedlaughing already, and the pink ofher cheeks was deepening into scar-let.

She had just remembered thewords carelessly spoken in that veryroom, not five minutes ago.

In an inexplicably short space oftime Mr. Ross had torn off his leiiu-niu- e

adornments and lied ignoiuiu-iousl- y,

followed by the peals oflaughter of his cousin and AliceAvmer.

Rosa strausc little piece of cou--r tradictiou had began to cry.

"Poor little thing, she's hysteri-cal," said aunt Meg, who hail justappeared on the scene.

But Rosa Fernall was not hysteri-cal.

The full delicious moon of a sum-mer was iu the mid heaven thatnight, as Kenneth Ross strolled into

the garden, moodily puffing at a ci-

gar, aud the feasibil-ity cf leaving quiet Warburgh toavoid Ihe girls sarcasm.

"I was a fool," quoth Kennethaloud, "bnt who's there?"

It was Rosa, with two or threewhite clover pinks in her hand,coming from the lower part of thegarden.

Ana by the lull, brilliant moon- -light Kenneth saw the trace f tearson her cheek.

"Rosa, you have been 'Tving.""No, I haven't!"An to preve the truth of her i

scrtion. Isosa be?an to crv alrcoh"Look here, Rosa," said the young

man gravely, 1 have been thinkingof leaving Warburgh

"But," pursued Mr. Roes, "I'llstay if if you'll only tell me to myface what you told ray cousin when1 was hidden away like a foolish ratin a trap, Roosa. Sspcak to me, little one!"

"What shall I tell you?" falteredRosa.

That vou love me! that vou willbe mv dear and cherished wife!

And she told me so, in the language lovers best like to hear.

Aud Mr. Kenneth Ross staved iuaud braved the ridicule of

Alice and i lora, with little Koamarshalled ou his side.

But he never read the girls anymore homilies on the dignity of man-hood or the majesty of human na-ture.To use Mist Flora's expressive lan-

guage, "it wouldn't have goneKOBIl!"

i.uv. stjiTi n.The Appeal, with a

worthy of its ancient fame, pays thefollowing to Gov. Sen-te- r

on his retirement from office:Whilst the rising, we

should not forget the setting sun.The people of Tennessee, who threeyears ago were disfranchised anddomineered over by

who werethe tax-payer- s, owe De Witt Clin-ton Senter adebt of gratitude which,if they ever forget, they deserve tobe forgotten of their God. If evera man did deserve the civic crownfrom the whole body of the peopleof Tennessee, that man is GovernorSenter. But for his patriotism, jus-tice and our Stalewould still le in the hands! ofthieves, and anarchy would pervadesociety. In spite of terrcnta of ob-

loquy, detraction and calumny, hedared to lift himself above the madpassions of the hour, to exhibit thatrare integrity and devotion to theright which rises superior to partybigotry, and common gratitude andcommon decency should ever teachthe recipients of such benefactionsto respect, love, cherish and honorsuch a man. The history whichGovernor Senter has made will tellposterity that he fund the peoplein chains, but severed the link thatchafed their limbs; that he foundthe Government in the hands ofthieves, but transferred it to honestmen, and that he found the StateGovernment swiftly traveling tobankruptcy and ruin, but left it in apromising a d of peace and

The maples are becoming perfect-ly glorious iu their royal mantles ofcrimson aud gold, and the entireforests are clothed with the gorge-ous coloring of autumn. Aud thatcould be more delightful than thesegolden days ! The atmosphere hasall the buoyancy aud sweetness of adawn in Juue, whilo nature every-where presents a panorama of colorsof such exquisite delicacy and com-binations as to challenge the recog-nition of the most heedless. Inmore senses than one this is the har-vest season of the year, and they areindeed happy who can gather upand store away, iu thought andmemory as well as in granary andbarn, the ripe joys and pure delights,which autumn places within reach.

There are few families, we ima-gine, any where, in which love isnot abused as furnishing the licensefor impoliteness. A husband, fa-

The follow ing anecdote exhibitsthe late Emperor of Rus-i- a in a newcharacter, as well a records one ofthe most hi.ppy escapes from anawkward position that wit aud pre-sence of mind might afford.

Some years ago there was a cele-brated comic actor at St. l'etersburgnamed MartiiiolT".

He had the most etraordni;irvpowers of imitation, and was sogreat a favorite with tin: publi- - --

sometimes to venture interpolationsof his own, intead of following theadvice of Hamlet to his players, "tospeak no more than is set down forthem."

The limper.. r J.a.l a high cham-berlain, or a peron tilling a similarollice, named lVdoflskv.

Whether for fun or ina'icc, Marti-nof- l.

while performing, contrived tolet tly some pun again-- ! this greattii.tn, which were ivnimly receivedby the audience.

The consequence was, as soon ;v3the play was over, the actor foundhimself iu the custody of a piiard ofsoldiers, who took "hi in to prison,where he was told he was to be con-fined for a fori night.

Not content with this, PolnrTskyeither told Ihe emperor himself, orcontrived that it should come to hisears, that the player had actua.lvhad the presumption to indulge inimitation of hi imperial majesty.

On his liberal inn, Mai tinoff wentto court to pay- - his i expect as usual,and the emperor told him of the-- ac-cusation, which he denied..;

"Well," said ihe eiiipcjor V1.l"rstnever did so, let me have an imita-tion of myself now. We know youcan do so if yon choose."

This is an awkward and danger-ous position for the poor actor, whofelt lie should get into trouble forfalling short ot or overdoing thecharacter.

Still the autocrat whs determined,and there was no escape.

Suddenly a bright thought struckIhe actor, and draw iug himself up.he assumed the exact bearing andmanner of t he emperor, and in avoice so like, that it made every onepresent start said:

rololl-ky- , give M.irtinot)' (liini-e- ll

"Susie, I should think you'd beashamed of yourself," said Mr.Bragden, as she sewed away on themuslin dress that w as all one massof rullles aud putl's, and looked any-thing but suitable for a little girl ofsix. "1 work so harl foryouallthetime, and that's all the thans 1 get.See here, child. Now isn't testprettv? Don't you think its verykind in me to be sowing so hard foryou this warm day?"

"Why, Susie Bragden, I shouldtnink you were a little baby," re-plied her mother, still busy with thepulls and furbelows. "I'm ashamedof you. Runaway, do; you botherme lo death."

"I don't want to run away,"whined Susie. "I am just as tiredas I can be. Do take me up, mam-ma; aitd Susie twisted and wriggledherself against her mother, as only achild can twist and wriggle, and atlast caught one of the muslin rufflesiu a button on the back of her dress,and twitched out the gatheringstring.

"There!" cried Mrs. Bragden, giv-ing Susie a slight push, but speak-ing iu u very impatient tone, "nowsee what you have done! 1 declare,that is too provoking. Now runaway by yourself, and don't comenear me agaiu thin afternoon. Youare enough to drivemc distracted."

Poor little Susie) ran out of theroom, crying as if her heart wouldbreak, and Mr.. Bragden was left tofinish her ru files and puffs in silence.

At six o'clock her husband camehome from the city, and coming di-

rectly upstairs into the room where Ihis wife was working, said:

"Well, hasn't it been a warm day?Almost equal to the Fourth of July.Whv, where's Susie?"

"O. I don't know," replied Mrs.Bragden; I haven't seen her for anhour or two. She was iu here then,and worried me out of my senseswhining lo be-- taken up, Just as ifshe w ere a liitle bnby. I really thinktieorge, vou pet her too miK-h.-

"I don't agree with you, "said Mr.Bragden. "I don't think peltingever hurt a child, provided it dixsnot degenerate into inordinate in-

dulgence. I don't think Susie hassocjued quite like herself fora week,xiid she feels this hot weather verymuch, i think it would be belterfor her if yon paid Ies9 attention loher clothes and more to her com-fort.''

"George, how ou do talk," re-plied Mrs. Bragden, looking no insurprise, for her husband was one ofthe kindet of men, and rarely spokeso severely lo his wife or any oneelse. "Any one would think, to hearvou talk, I neglcrtod the child. Ii Link I am just as fond of herns youare, even if 1 don't think it necessaryto slop n:y work to .gratify everywhim of hers."

I know yon are very fond of her,dear," replied her husband; "billyou don't seem to think that afterall she is just a lit t le child, and if sheis fretful and troublesome at times,is it to he wondered at? We certain-ly should not evped more self-contr-

iu our children than we haveourselves."

Mr. Bnigdeii lell the loom lo huntii hi little daughter, and once moreMrs. Brngdeu was lefl to do her sew-ing in silence; but her work did Hotinterest her as much as it hud beforeher hit-bau- entrance.

" Where did y ou find her?" askedMrs. Bragden, almost, in a whisper,her heart reproaching her for herimpatience to her child. "What liashappened to her?"

"I don't know that anything hashappened that wc could have pre--!vented," said Mr. Bragden, helpinghis wife to unfasten Susie's clothes,tor her trembling fingers wouldhardly do her bidding. "I foundher away up in the garret. She hadthrown "herself down in front of anopen window, and evidently criedherell to sleep, she was moaningand tossing her arms about; but tryhard as 1 can, I cannot wake her.Don't be frightened, dear; it maynot be anything serious, after all.But I knew we should bolh feeleasier if tho doctor were here."

"Susie, darling," said Mrs. Brag-den, beudiug over the still bleeping

but restless child, "don't you hearmamma calling? Wake up, dear."

Suie only threw her arms overher head and did not open her eyes,but moaned in a pitiful tone thatwent straight to her mother's heart:

"Take me up, mamma, take meup. I'm so tired."

Mrs. Bragden buried he head inthe pillow beside her child, andsobbed as if her heart would break.Her husband comforted her as wellas he could, bnt the sharp words shehad spoken thataftrnoou came backto her with fearful distinctness, andshe would haTe given all she mostvalued in the world if they couldhave been unuttered. .

The doctor at last arrived, andpronounced Susie's illness to bewhat her father and mother had bothsecretlv feared, brain fever. Fordays the little sufferer lay uncon-scious of all around her, aud whcan describe the mental torture hermother endured as she sat by herbedside? Sometimes Susie calledfor her father in frightened tones,as if separation from him was themost dreadful thin? that aonld hap-H-- n

to her. Mr. Rtagden's voice al-- w

ay's soothed and quieted her for awhile, but the next moru?ut shewould break forth In that sameheart-rendin- g cry, "Take me up.mamma, take me up. I'm so tired."

Oue night, when almost all hopethat their darling could rex-ove- r haddied out of the hearts of those twoweary watchers, two angels unseenaud unheard entered that silentchamler, and stood behind the childwho lav in a sleep that was eitherthat of returning strength or

death. For a momentthey stood and looked at the sleep-ing child, with serious, thoughtfulfaces, then turned and gar ed uponthe bowed heads on either side.They seemed to hesitate, and whis-per to each other awhile. Then one,the vounger of the two, leaned forward and laid her finger on Susie slon-head- , and with uplifted, smilingfaces, they both disappeared.

At that moment from the heart otthe mother a pravei , that in the future she might atone, by ber patience and gentleness, for her shortcoming or the pait.

As if in answer to her prayer.came Sun'ie's voice, this time In aclear, natural tone, "Take me up.mamma, take me up. I m so tired."

Suppressing t be cry or joy that almost burst from her lips, .Mrs.Bragden folded her arms aroundher darling, and clasped ber to herbesom, while the silent tears rolleddow n hrr cheeks as she raised hereves in thankfulness toward heaven.

In the silent heurs passed by thebedside of her suffering child, Mrs.Bragden had learned a lesson

hi h 6he never forgot. The littlemuslin dress was laid aside unfinished, and if ever she felt inclined topay more attention to the elabora-tion of her child's clothes than toher amusements and the gratifica-tion of her harmless, childish wishes, Mrs. Bragden thought of theday when it bad been put away sounexpectedly, and the lesson wasthe more deeply impressed uponher.

One of the shrewdest of parishbeadles was Saunders (irant, villagetailor at M . "Jlow is it Saunders," inquired the minister, "thatthese two young neighbor, or minehave their churches quite full, while,though I preach the same sermonsthat I did twenty years ago, my peo-ple are falling it?"

BKACTiKUt. From an obituary-recen- t

ly published in the Charles-ton Courier, we extract the follow-ing beautiful sentences:

When death strikes down the in-

nocent and young, for every fragileform from which he lets thepanting spirit free, a hundred vir-tues rise, in shapes of mercy, chari-t- v

and love to walk the world andbless it. Of every tcarthat sorrow-ing mortals shed on green graves,some good is born, some gentler na-

ture come. In the Destroyer's stepsthere spring up bright creations thatdefy his power, ami his dark pathsbecomes a way of light to Heaven."

A deaf and dumb child was ques-tioned if Bhe knew why she wasborn thus. The tears rapidly filledthe eyes of the afflicted child, butin a moment or two she dashed themaway, and with a smile playing uponher thoughtful conutermnee, wroteupon her little slate: "Even so, fath-er; for so It seemed good in thysight."

It is a folloy to call the joys ofchildhood the greatest. They arelike the earliest flower of springthecrocus, lovely and richly tiuted, butsmall and scentless. It is summerthat brings forth flowers of maturedsplendor and fragrance.

Money can procure no shelter fromthe terrible ravages of death. Youcannot bribe the King of terrors andthe terror of kings. You cannotpurchase a covenant with the grave.
