Love is a torture; sweet confusion ; A glare; a glistening bubble; A fitting joy ; a sliort jielusiou ; The source and end of trouble. Love is the broth of youthful hopes; The froth of earthly bliss ; A pain; astabb; a thrust that copes . "With heart throbs in a kiss. '' L?ve is a shadow, bright phantasm ; A dreaming and a waking ; A blindness, deafness, a sweet spasm ; A shudder and a quaking. Love is a trap ; a sudden folly ; Truth, faith, regret, deceit; A strength ; afaintness; melancholy; A victory; a defeat. Love is a nectar sweet and clear; The souls feast and starvation ;' A toll, fruition, a burning fear; Divine intoxication. Love is a place grand and great HRolding the soul's best treasures; Love is a tomb where lie in state The ghosts of buried pleasures. AN AMERICAN GIRL AND HER LOVERS. IN* THREE PARTS. (Lippincott's Magazine for February.) \ PART III. The next day wo saw nothing of the count, but early Thursday morning Vineenzo knocked at my door with a note, in which Count Alvala informed mo that ho was my son and begged earnestly to see the beautiful Miss St. Clair onco more; ho would never trouble me again. Jt was the only da}r on which wo could see the palace of the Cajsars, and would I bo so good as to permit him to meet us there? I hastily penciled a few words : (,I am waiting for I)r. Valcry. I shall probably stay with my sick friend to-day, and Miss St. Clair will not go without me," and sent the line by Vincenzo, happy to be rid of the importunate hr.i- ?,.i. t I.Io timo Wl < ...* ......v. Two hours later, when the doctor had pronounced my friend better, and I had promised Jlelen a walk amidst the ruins of the Palatine, which I did not like to leave Homft without seoing I went down to the roll, coll'cc and eggs which constitute an Italian breakfast, and there sat the count as vigilant as a sentinel, '^i'ou.will go?" said he with a smile. "I think we may," curtly. "1 shall perhaps meet you there." When we reached the Fonicscgate ho was waiting there, which in::dc t he 'perhaps' superfluous. We had a long nimbi" over the lonely hill. stretching out like a green New England pasture, but where from time to time Hvc came unexpectedly upon (lights of steps which led to massive substructures of stone, foundations of ancient palaces, and to' excavated balls paved with mosaics and lined ivilh frescoes more beautiful than those if Pompeii. There were many statjcs. more or less mutilated, and statey brick arches laden with a wealth jffloweriug shrubs,and here and there ,hicke^s of tall dark cypress trees, larmonious with ruins. My young companions were rather silent, hut I ancy their thoughts were not engrossed with old historic lore. 1 made i wuua uiiui u tu iuiuw mints nto Llio nits of association which I ?ad supposed to bo inevitable in such i Npot, but the bright sunshine .he delicate blue of the distant Cam)&gna, the living gladness of earth wid air were too strong for me, and I owardly applauded a lively American ?irl who interrupted her droning ;uido with the incisive ' ! doif t care i snap for Coesar." On reaching the gate after oor three lours ramble I consigned Miss St. Dlair to some friends who were waiti),;,' for her, and stepped into the ou.ot's carriage. lie seemed to feel lound in honor not to speak of love 1 n Mia.s St. Clair Rince the revolution 1 f the Sistine Chapel, but lie must ! iave a little solace in talking to me bout it. "It would be easy," said he, it' f>he wt.ro not fiancee, but that ' iiakes it difficult?very difficult inIced. I am gi'ad it i* not going to be'' or three years: that is a long time,* , very long time." Then, with a very, uddeti illumination of face and a deicious intonation of the musical voice Perhaps they will never marry: icrhaps it will be another muti?I." Ble?sed infatuation of youth, with its vonderful^r/tr/pp#*, whicli never come ' n m > f nrpi- vi>.ips !\ "One of these years I shtvll hope to | lear that you are married to a beau-1 ifuHady^jof jour own country and! our owo region." j1 "You never will." "Oh yes, you will be astonish-cd to ind how easy it is to forget." ' I;come of a constant race," said Jie j jroudly. ".My father loved my moth-1 r, and they sent him all over the, vorld to Forget her, but ho came ionic in five years and married her." -Even if it were otherwise possible which it is not), the dilfercnce in reigion ought to prevont it. How; :ould a Catholic as you distress your! amily by marrying a heretic?" "Perhaps she would lu? a Catholic." I noticed -that he did not say, "Periap? I shall liocorne a Protestant."? 'Don't you think her father would let i ?er marry a Catholic?" ' No," I replied stoicall}'. H? was silent and dejeeted. "Yon must forget her," said I kindy. "It is only a little while t<ince r'oit first saw her." " A little while! It is my whole ife!" it ('nif Tiin/.l-u " T nnntiniiftd 'We shall soon bo across the ocean, I ind j'oti will hoc other ladies." "Thoro is only one Miss St. Clair." j "I begyonr pardon?there arc threej jf them." But the boy was too miserable to notice this poor little sally. We were approaching the hotel. 'I shall not see you again at present," >aid he. ''Monsignore will arrive this svening, and I must bo at home to receive him. Hut I shall bo in Paris by the middle of May, and J shall bee you there : farewell till then." The next morning Miss St. Clair find I were on our way to Florence. A week later, on our return from the uonvcnl of San Marco, where we had j seen the cell of Savonarola and many' lovely but faded frescoes of Fra An-; gclico and Fra Bartolommeo, whom i should we find waiting for us in our' temporary home on the Via Pandol j fitii butCouut Alvala? I feltannoyed j and my face must have revealed it, for, he .said depreeatingly, "You ought toi be glad to seoyour boy, Madame Fleming, for I have come thin longjourney ' only for a day. expressly to see you."; "That- i.s why I am here. I shall j not be able to go to Paris. I am bitterly disappointed, but monsignore has made other phms for me. I am to go to Vienna to visit rnj* aunt, whoso husband is our ambassador there. The tour to 1'aris is postponed till the autumn," Evidently monsignore had heard of the little heietic maiden, and lie was going to,remove his ward from temptation. I was infinitely obliged to him. ' A desultory conversation followed carried on principally by '-he young people, and then the Count said "Miss SjL. Clair tells me that you have visited the Uft"zi and Pitti galleries.? May I iV1, -go with you somowbere . n.mr>ircr\t ?-_tr> TCerLopo or San -Miniato, for instance? "Thanlc yOju," 1 replied : ' "We arc bo exhausted with 8ight-scoing, Miss St.,|;|;ijr un(] J, that wc shall Htay i? a'1 to mmorrow, and wo V A \ 1 I ! shall be happy to soc you onco in the afternoon or evening, as may bo most convenient for you." ! I did not like to be hard and cross jto the dear boy whom my heart yearned over, but I felt as much bound to "make an effort" as if I had been a veritable J)ombcy. * The call lasted afternoon and evening: it was only tbo change of a parjticlo. I could reproduce tlio innocent talk, half guy, half mid, of this long jinterviow, but before he went away | the count drew me aside : "Will you I give this to .\Iisn St. Clair when I am gone?" I 1 unfolded the package; it contained a photograph of himself and a small painting which ho had executed of the Coliseum on tho night of the illumination. "Yes." "And will you send mo her photoiirranh from Paris? I will havo it o 1 , copied by tbo best miniature painter in Rome and put in a locket net with diamonds," said the boy enthusiastically. "I cannot promise." "Do you think 1 could bo of any use to her father ? Xot to win his favor you understand, but I should be so happy to do anything to servo her or friends. Can't you tell me now ?" I "No. Mr. St. Clair does not need assistance in any way that I Icdow." In spito of the boys earnestness, the idea of his offering patronago to the mature and independent American, struck mo as irresistably ludicrous. "But you will tell him all about me." "Yes." "I shall learn to speak English?I have begun already?and in a year 1 snail DO m America, win you write your address i'or me on this card ?" I did so. "If you over come to Spain, remember that my house and all that is in i it are yours." "I shall never go to Spain." "Perhaps you will one day to sec; Miss St. Clair," looking up in my face j with a bright smile of inextinguisha-1 ble hope. "Good-bye for a j-ear." | A few more days in Florence, a week in Venice, a day or two in Milan, and j wo bade adieti to Italy. Land of! beauty and mystery! when I recall i thy many forms of loveliness, thoglo-j rious shapes of gods and heroes, serene I and passionless in their white rnajosty i of marble, the blessed sweetness of saints and Madonnas shining down into ray soul, J Hcom to have been once in heaven and afterwards shut out. We wore once more at home. Almost the first news that come to us from abroad wits the terrible war between France and Germauy. During the protracted siege of Paris we were full of anxieties, but at its close wc received long letters from Madame Le Fort, giving irwmy details of the sufferings and privations of the scigc, sorrowful enough i'pr the most, part, bat enlivened hero and there with touches of the gay French humor that nothing can subdue. There was a lively sketch of a Christmas dinner* ingeniously got up of several courses of a donkev-mcal. A t New Year's the choicest gift that a gentleman could make a lady was a piece of wheaten bread. Afterward there was nothing in the house but rice and chocolate ] bonbons, which they chewed sparingly a little at u time. But they kept up their courage?they were even gay Hardships were ntfthing. but that Paris should be surrendered at last? ] that was a humiliation which nothing could compensate. Many of the gay j dancers whom we bad known hud1 fallen in battle, among them, itenei Vergniand. He was shot in the heart i in an engagement with the Prussians in the environs of Paris. I spent my next summer vacation with Miss St. C'lair in Detroit. "When is Mr Den hum coming home?" I asked one evening when wc were alone together. ' I do not know : ho does not .speak | of coming home f am a littlo puzzled I aboilt Fred. He lias written me a I i^rcat, deal lately about a certain Fran-j icin Teresa, the daughter of one of his | professors, who takes such excellent | uare of her younger brothers and fis-j ters, and who is such a wonderfully economical, housewifely little bedy? just, a now edition of Wert hep's Charlotte. I do not think that he really likes her," she continued after musing a little: "lie just holds tier up ay a model for mo,to copy. I shouldn't wonder if she was only imaginary, to make mo fed how far I come short of his ideal. Fred .says that he worshipst the very ground I tread on?slightly! hyperbolical and very original, you perceive," with a satirical curve of hen pretty lips?"but he never seems half! satisfied with me. He ought to know! by this time that I must be just my! own little self, and not a second-hand imitation of somebody else." The next day came a letter with a German postmark, which was so eloquent on the subject of Fraulein Teresa that, it elicited the following reply: a it i.nai r, i q71 ...-UgMOV ?, , Dear .Fred: I despair of emulating! Kraulein Teresa's many excclcncies. You know what a useless little thing I am. Happily, it is not too late to make another choice. Thinking it may please yon, I hereby release 3*011' from all your promises to me. We, may never be anything more to each] other perhaps, but I hope that we shall j always be dear friends. I shall never j forget that we gre.w up together, and I I wish you all possible happiness. Your little friend. Helen." In due time this answer came: IIeidei.herg, August 27, 1871. 1 Miss St. Clair: Your somewhat j singular letter of August 6th was duly received. If I believed that you had written it, or ever could or would do anything, with proper deliberation I should accept your decision at once. But as I have good reasons to know vour habit of actirnr from sudden im J pulses which you afterward regret, 1 give you three months to reconsider this hasty step. "I have the honor to be your obe-! dientservant. F. A. Deniiam. j Jlelen held to me the open sheet, with kindling eyes and glowing cheeks 'Three months! I don't need three minutes: I wouldn't change in three centuries. 1 am so glad to bo free! she cried laughing at the same moment. "He has worried me so a poor little thing like me!" The next morning I started 011 my return to Boston. Early in Oct. a servant handed me' a card bearing the name Francisco Alvala. 1 had ceased to think of the boy not having heard a word from him ; but here he wan looking very manly, browned with the sun and sea| and beautiful as Kndyrnion when Di-j ana stooped to kiss him and all thoj green leaves in the white moon shine, were tremulous with sympathy. j After the first greeting'ho asked, j j'-Ilow is Miss St. Clair? and when did i you sec her last ?" j I told him of my recent visit, j "She is not married then ?" I "On the contrary, she is free. The [engagement with Mr. Uenham has been broken." j "What did I.tell you? Did I not sav it would bo /?" in a hurst of tri umph. * I Aswi good Boston woman I am chagrined to record ?tut Bunker Hill and {all the local libns, which I was at iRomo pains to impress on his memory did not prove so attractive astho ear| liest: Western train.', Why malic a long story of what every ono foresees? In the courso of tho autumn and winter the count made flying visits, to Washington, Philadelphia, New Orleans, and oven |San Francisco, but it was noticeable] | that the way to all these places Jay | i through Detroit. Ho spoke English : marvelously well now, and so won up- c on the hearts of Mr. and Mrs. St. Clair 3 that 011 the 23d of April, being his ^ twenty-first birthday, the marriage of tho conde dc Alvala and Helen St. Clair was duly celebrated. I could ?. not leave my school to be present at , 1 the wedding, but tho young couple camo to Boston to tako leavjj or me n before sailing for Europe. They were it radiaDt with happiness, and 1 could ii hardl}* tell which I loved best, my a boy or my girl; b'ut if the Italian had been thereto ask if I oversaw a more ? ! beautiful couple, I should havo an- v swered no with great emphasis. I will copy Helen's first letter in or- ,1 der to prove that chateau eu Espagne is not always ft castle in the air: Alva la, near Toledo, June 2D, 1872. * tl '"Dear Madame Fleming : You *c have heard from mother, of our voyage and safe arrival. Wc are now at ?, home, Francisco and I, if I can ever learn to feel at h?mo in such a grand 81 place, whore I can hardly find my 8( way round.

Each gentleman to whom you have boon introduced, wherever you meet thereafter in billiard-room, ten-pin alley, pothouse, or church, introduces you to somebody else, and so the list increases in geometrical proportion.

Cows.?There are probably. SiiOO,000,000, invosteri in vows in the United States. Unfurlionately a great deal of this money is not well used. It does not bring in the yearly interest which it might and ought to yield. The average profit which the ordinary farmer receives from his cows is quite small. Hut the}- ought to pay well. If they do not, it shows either a lack of skill, or else of care and attention on .the parts of their owners. A great, perhaps the greatest, cause of loss is, most farmers keep poor cows. A good one pays a handsome profit It will cost but little more to keep a good cow than a poor one. The fanner will make from six to eight pounds oi Duller per weeic for forty two weeks, worth, say thirty five cents per pound realizing an income of from 8SS to 8117, while the hitter, making only three or four pounds a week for forty-two weeks, will bring only from $14 to $G0 per year.??S?/oek Journal.
