TWO EVENINGS TWO YEA?S APART. " Christine, will you go out on the lake the evening ? Its a splendid night for a sail ?" The young lady thus interrogated sat by one of the front windows of a large and handsome country residence. Hor feet rested on an ottoman, and she was surveying the rosettes which mount ed a pair of daintily embroidered slip pers, with a languid air and an absent, half dissatisfied expression. At her brother's question, she turned and look ed out of the window, and the summer evening revealed its beauty and its glo ry to the eyes of Christine Jarvys. The house was situated on an emi nence, which commanded a view of the country for miles around. The moon had just come over the distant hills, and from her urn of gold was poured out that crystal river of . light whose waves overflowed the landscape,' and let a grace and beaury to every object they touched. About a mile oil', be yond the meadows, lay the ? lake, its silver steam flashing between the green shores, and losing itself in a bend of the valley. The wind shook out sweet perfumes from the garden beneath ; and the stars overhead were bright. Such .vas the summer evening which Chris tine Jarvys beheld. Her eyes did not brighten much in loving recognition of its beauty. .There kvas a shadow still on the. young and sweet face which she turned " to her brother.' " I don't feel much inclined for going m the water this evening,.Alfred," she replied, and the listless rones suited the Zadows in her face.- " Who is to go jesides you ?" '"Nobody except Frank Reynolds and 3en. Grant to manage the boat," he re lied. "You'd better go ' with us, in-j ;tead of - staying here, and ,nioping brough the evening alone," the young nan added, as he threw his slight grace ul limbs into the chair opposite his sis ar. . , ' , '.'. - " I think I shall be able to stand it omehow," said the young lady, with a esigned expression of tone and face, vhich plainly indicated that she re garded martyrdom as her peculiar des iny, and intended to meet her fate with tccoming fortitude. Alfred Jarvys leaned forward, rested ne hand on his sister's knee, and looked n her face. " What's gone wrong now, Christie, bat you're clown in the dumps like his ?," said he. " Come, don't act so, 1i _L 1-1,_,1_L_._i_ U, _ .? W>.wv- i. j 1 be matter." Thus adjured, the young lady condc cended to...explain the.causes which Lad produced her present gloomy views f human nature, and of the world in ?un eral. "Tho truth is, Alfred," said she. you're a man and won't understand .nything about it ; but my bonnet came lome this afternoon, and its a perfect right-a great bunch of poppies on the mtsidc, and purple mignonette scattcr :d through the inside trimming-when mrple is. so unbecoming ; it always nade me look so hideous." Alfred Jarvys was a generous, good latured young man ; moreover, he oved his pretty sister clearly ; so he mt on a deeply . sympathetic voice and ace, much snell a one as a father would iver a decapitated plaster of Paris dog, vhich his child might hold up to him. '. Well," said he, " its too bad about lie bonnet, Christie, that's a fact." " But that isn't all, Alfred," she con inued. " My dress maker hits just sent ne word that she forgot the blue ti im nings for my dove colored silk, and, so [ shan't have it ready to wear at Col. Hamlin's to-morrow evening." " Thc victim of a milliner and man ila maker!" said her brother. "On the whole, Christie, you arc an amiable girl, but I don't suppose that the most ?xemplary of your sex could stand such i conjunction of trials and su?'erings. A ruined bonnet and an unfinished Iress ? It's too much. I stand appall ed before such miseries !" . A loud hearty laugh concluded, as was most fitting, the mock sympathy of Alfred Jarvys' speech ; though, to tell truth, he commenced it with a benevo lent intention of entering fully into his sister's feelings and disappointments. But his sense of the ludicrous was keen, and his relish of a joke intense, and the latter ca -ried the day, Christine Jarvys drew back, with an unusual disply of dignity. " I see how it is, Alfred," said she; " you're making fun of my troubles, after all ; I don't want any more of your pre tended sympathy." .* Well, now, it is really too bad," said he. " I'm just as sorry for the little girl as I can be," he added, leaning forward once more and seizing her small wrists. But as though his sister's cup of afflic tions was not yet filled to thc brim, a jet bracelet, exquisitely mounted with carved ivory, snapped under the young man's hand Christino gave a loud shriek, as the beautiful, fragile toy fpll to the floor, scattering on the carpet its fragments of dainty workmanship. This was too milch. Christine Jarvys fell back in her chair* and burst into tears. Her brother saw this was no time for joking, and with real concern on his face, he put his arm round his sis ter. " I'm so sorry, Christie," said he, " I really wouldn't have done it for all the world. Come now, kiss me and make it up, and you shall have another brace let, handsomer than this." " I don't want another," sobbed the petted girl. "Uncle Robert gave me that on my last birthday, and I wouldn't have had it broken for all the world. I know what your sympathy is good for, and that you are laughing at me all the time." " Look up, and see if I am," said the young man. "Come, Christie," he ad ded, " don't pout any more. Forget all about your troubles and go out and have a sail, and a song with me ; it's high time wc were oil." "I can't go with you, Alfred. Doi?t, wait for me," she said, hugging: t||"i, luxury of her grief. " Well, then, good by ; when Leo ' back, two hours nence, I hope I sh find a better disposed little sister," ? the young man, as he rose up, a'lit annoyed that his attempts to appe" the girl met with no better success kissed her forehead, for her e were hidden in her hands, and th went out. Christine Jarvys sat still in the light, and listened for her b steps. She- heard th em-go-swifi * the long gravel walk-and pause front gate, while he talked -,with gardener. She took handa-ironi* ~ eyes and looked, out, and the silence*) and beauty of the night' reproved her. The botter part of her - nature rose rj|>, and showed her that she had been un just and irritable. Despite all the faults of her education, she had fine instinct, and a generous, exuberant nature. She sprang up and ran down stairs, and out into the garden. Her brother had gone some distance- down the road, but her voice reached him and brought him back -aw " Alfrod/'-said she, putting her arms about her neck, " Fm very Sorry I was so cross to you just now, but I wasfso fretted, you know. -Tisn't any maifer about the bracelet; and I've cmne^ut to kiss you good-by for two hour? " ' " What ! are you not going with us ?" he said. " Run back and get your bonnet." " I can't, dear Alfred," ' she replij " Mrs. MelvyrT sent mc a message t she would pass an hour with me ibis evening, and I promised to be at'hoihe. But I hope you ll' have a nice sail."? She put up lier rosy lips, andger brother kissed them warmly. "Good-bye, Christie,'.'said ho. 'SBe a good girl, and I shall be ? back in a couple ol' hours. And so they parted at the garden gate; and the hist chapter of Alft?d and Christine Jarvys' life together'^'was closed without sign or warning. ' Its pages had been made up with the pleas ant years of their childhood and y?jffch. and ali the lines had boen written in light and gladness. But in after "roars those last words and that last kiss v??ve to the. heart of Christine Jarvys golden bio soins covering the ten )f memory, which took their deep; njhat last hour of her brother'a lil Alfred and Christine Jarvys wer )hans. They had, however, been a id by their father's brother an vife. The gentleman waa a w xinki-r, and as ho had no. chili] icice. No wealth had been.spared-no luxu .y it could purchase forgotten in the raining of tue young orphan, boy and jirl. Their uncle and aunt made earth y idols of the children who had fallen O them, and they grow up with no idea jf the sorrow, and trial, and .discipline, ivhich are the heritage of the sons and laughters of mun. The boy, with his lark, handsome face and flashing eyes, in which spirit and mirth were forever tt strife, was a perfect antithesis to Christine, whose fair countenance was the bequest of her mother. Alfred had graduated with high hon ers at college, Christine, who was two rears younger, was accomplishei after lier age and social standard ; but bough lier, li fe of ease and luxury had .wak ?ned and warped her heart and soul, still the good seed waited in thewarm soil, which would guichen it iito life and blossoming. Mr. and Mrs. Jarvys resided intown ; butas they grew older their nnual visits to watering-places -becam irk some, and they at last purchased ?hand some country house in the lake ibtrict, and thither the family, r _ .aired every summer. \: . It was a beautiful spot, locket up in rare shrubberies, with 'garden and groves ; and, as the master and listless were extremely hospitable, theircoun try home was frequently crowdu with company, and so the brother an sister sported and dreamed away the .mimer in the midst of scenery that wa.ti con stant picture .and poem lo the hed.:hat could receive it. Mr. and Hrs. Jarvys had ben :ud denly summoned from home ai bme business, at the time of which t wite, and it chanced- that the brotlennd sister were left alone, as the guestshey were expecting did not arrive uni a week later. ; . . if*? Christine Jarvys went slowly j to the '.ouse in the pale moonlightv-The shadow had gone off from her facephe had quite forgotten her spoiled beset, her unfinished dress, .her"broken qce let. She gathered a few sprays ofjig nonette, and some carnations-forjw crs flanked each side of the front ?ilk -and then,- after a long jpause oma front steps, in which she aid trijejid loving reverence to the night, she put into thc parlor. A gentleman roiup from the sofa, and informed her thlhe had brought ' her a message from rs. Melvyn. The lady had been surped that evening by the unexpected aitail of lier parents, and would not b'tple to fulfill her ongagement withuiss Jervys. The bright eyes of the young hess searched the speaker's face, as Ide livered his message. If was a finno, wfth a thin delicacy of outline, d a thoughtful, earnest expression, lilthe Hush and change of Alfred's.} arthe lips.had a smile not frequent nor Ith: ful, but full of grave sweetness, ich matched the eyes. " Will you take a seat?" said ris tine, as the gentleman conchu?his errand. " Thank you. I fear I shall tain you," said the young man, ta lauris ! ti hat, evidently supposing thc invjon w merelv conventional. | | W . "On, no," she said. ;"I am?ite'pt alone, as my brother has gone jon ' the lake for an hour or two." ; ec The gentleman looked in therl's ?J face for moment, lt was a ?ly, ta searching gaze, yet by no means hue- cc tive. He was satisfied that her ita- pl EU fi n o it tl o: lc a tf co SI 01 S tc lu m ?vv re tv ri la cc tion was a sincere one, and resumed his i: seat. ? " .' .-'j \ " You are a friend .of Mrs. Melvyn's, j s .1 conclude ?" said'Christine. " My older brother, who is dead, w.as p a friend of her husband's," lie replied, o "J uin, for the next six months, a tutor of her two sons." . Somehow, the better instincts of the ?flattered heiress recognized the true ?^manliness of her guest in his brief, can did answer. There was no question that the tutor was a gentleman, in the ?fcru?st meaning of thc word ; a meaning that comprehends certain indigenous qualities of the heart and'soul which no social grafting can confer. " Well, I am a woman, you know," .said' Christine, smiling tte bright, frank ''smile which filled her face with light and sweetness, " and have my legacy of curiosity ; but I will not exercise the prerogative of my sex further than to ask you oiie -question more. What is vourname?" ? ? Chirles Winthrop," he replied. " It is known neither in camps nor councils, nor in the world of letters ; it is famous nowhere ; and in the wide world its best merit is, I believe," that it is pre cious to a very few hearts." " You are a very strange man," thought Christine Jarvys. Her guest smiled quietly to himself. " Did he guess what I was thinking ?" After this, she could not tell how they glided ofF into an animated con versation on various matters. Christine waa glad enough to fiiid a.man who led her out of herself, and whose speech had some nerve and force in it; who never availed himself of an opportuni ty to turn a pretty compliment to her self, but who stimulated her own thoughts,, who was full of suggestion and appreciation of men, books, and the world in general. At last in a pause of the conversa tion, they heard a sudden grasp, and rush ot' the wind outside.. "Dear me! what does it mean?" said Christine, as she and her guests rose-and hurried to the window. It was a strange sight, thc great cloud coming up from the East, and shutting oui the stars. The grace and beauty of the night suddenly vanished. " Oh, how dreadful !" exclaimed Chris tine, aud she shuddered, standing by the tutor of the young Melvyns. " That depends upon the eyes with j-fr which we look at it," said the yourie ; Si man, Avith his grave, sweet smile; ana it was evident that to his eyes the cloud had no dreadful voice or language. This thought came into Christine's mind as she stood by the window. It was followed by another which struck l' Oh ! what will*"Recome5 of Alfred," if this high wind should overtake him !" " Does he know how to manage a boat?" asked Mr. Winthrop, with a good deal oi interest. ? " Not in a storm," she replied ; " but Ben Grant, who has charge of the boat, is an old sailor ; still I can't help feeling alarmed." " I think there is no cause for alarm," said he ; " and then, there is no thought to claim our fears like the blessed one that God is over us in all danger" Christine's eyes, lilted to her guests, !?rew full of a strange awe and wonder, frilly this man was unlike any she ever met. Then the storm broke with a wild ..ry. The great branches rocked and wrenched under it. The thunder fairly .hook the foundations of the great house, ind Christine's heart filled with fear for 1er brother. But the storm did not last long. Swift is the wind arose it fell. The black vings of the cloud dropped slowly away iud there was a great calm. The stars ooked out again. " It is time Alfred was here," said Christine. At that moment the front gate open ?d sharply, and a youth of about sixteen ?qrat intojthe parlor. His hair hung in Iraggled locks about his pale face ; his .lothes were dripping, and he stammer id out in an agony of fright and ter or, " The boat's gone down ! The wind ipset her. Won't anybody go to.their lelp ? If you had heard poor Christine's hriek then ! Mr. Winthrop caught her, r she would have fallen. But there ras no time to be lost. rHe laid her on he sofa ;.and.he did not know that his ips uttered the prayer which was in is heart, and that Christine heard it : Heaven have mercy upon you !" Then the young man rushed out of he room ; but his hostess sprang up, nd swift as a deer overtook him at the :ont door. " QhVycu will save my brother !" she ried imploringly. " Heaven be witness that I will try !" lid he ; and he was gone, and the boy >licwed him. Mr. Winthrop was an excellent swing ier, and though the lake was some way ff, he was on]y a few minutes reaching ;, for his feet seemed scarcely to touch ie ground on Iiis way. He paused nee only, to ask the boy, who hadfol twed, but could not keep up with him, few necessary questions. He ascer lined that he was the son of the boal lan, Ben Grant. His father had-been iddenly summoned from home that Kening, and the two young men had Dissuaded him to go out on the lake with, ic sail-boat, which he was not accus imed to manage alono. They would, owever, have been safe enough, if had Di been for the sudden squall of wind hieh overtook them before they could iach tho shore, and, in attempting to irn the boat around, she upset. 'The boy swam to the shore, and hur ed to Mr. Jarveys' for help, as that mtleman's house was nearest to the ko. He fancied both thc young men mid keep their heads above water un l assistance could be procured. And ith prayer that it might be so. Charles rinthrop rushed toward the lake at the >int the boy indicated. The moon"sailed out from the'frayed [gos of the clouds, and looked down )on thc fretted waters.

He looked eagerly -?at the pale, ncoucious face which Mr. Winthrop lid down on the sands. ." It's Mr. Beynolds," said he. And where was Christine's brother ? lie small sail-boat was drifting to and .o on the lake. The two men swam ; ut to it, after consigning Mr. Reynolds 3 the care of Grant's son. ' * By this time . all trace pf that wild loud was wiped off "from the face of the ?cy. The stars and the moon looked own bright and calm on the pale face f the men. They searched for an hour i.silence; and then they found Mr. arvys. They drew him up tenderly nd laid him in the boat ; and as they lought of his sister at home, both the oung man and- the old- one felt -that? ley would gladly lay down their own ves if they could restore him. The young dead face had in it no .ace of pain or'struggle. No wonder ie strong men wepi; as they laid the xly down in the bolt. For nearly two hoirrs,- that seemed inger than thc rest of her life, Chris ne had waited. The servants all gone it, with the exception of her own aid, who tried to comfort her mistress ; she sometimes sank down into stolid ?spair, and then rose up and wrung ? hands, and wandered through the ?oms, full of agony. At last her ear night the sound of footsteps outside, hey were bringing tieir burden up'the alk. " Carry him in by "he side door, and will go up and try and break the truth i her," said Mr. Winthrop, in a low )ice, to the men ; but at that moment slight figure ran down the steps, and islied toward the lifeless form. Tho gilt of the moon fe.-.l brightly on the ?ad face. Christine staggered back. ''Is he drowned?" she said, looking p in so pitiful a way that the men !uld not speak ; but she looked in each ce, and read her answer there ; and ten Christine lay on the -ground as un mscious as her brother. Mr. Winthrop lifted the poor girl up id carried her into the house. He ithcd her temples, and assisted the ightened maid to restore her to con iousness. The youth in Christine's veins ; length triumphed, and she opened ;r eyes. The young man saw that she knew '1 1. She was off in a moment, and hen he would have held her back, she ruck aside his arm, rushing out of the tow. seemed led by some instinct~to ie one wIi>?rir~neT-:L-t7rori.u. i,._EV. iielt down by him, exclaiming": " Look up at me ; speak, to me, darl g ! You said you'd come back to me an hour or two, when you kissed mc the garden gate. Your little sister n't live without you, Alfred, for she ved you better than her own life. I n't live without you, darling brother, must have you back again. I must sar your voice calling sweetly after Q, ' Christie ! Christie!' as it used to i. I can't believe it's silent forever ! i ! Alfred, my heart will break-*-my art will break ! Open your eyes ?and lile at me once more." She put down her warm cheek to the ld pale one, and shuddered as the ill went.through her. When she )ked up, Mr. Winthrop was standing her side. " Can't you help me?" she said, as a ;t frightened child had sobbed itself \ :o exhaustion would have spoken. " My child." replied the young tutor, ; a voice husky and broken, " it is God ; ly who can help you now."

"Wonderful for beauty 1" she re ? peated ; but there was something in her sweet voice which made one think of the tolling of bells. Mr. Winthrop glanced at her lace, and knew what night her memory associated' with thi one. -. , - - "I don't know what I should liav done without-y ou thcn,""saidthc youn girl, drawing-ti little nearer to the gen tlcman. "It was not I, Miss Christine,-it wa God whcThelped you," said he. " I never could have borne it other wise," she said, " I wonder if I needed that terrible lesson-if without it my life would always have gone in the old channels of frivolity and self seeking with no real aim, or purpose,, or hope !' Looking on the girl.as she spoke, a grave, sweet smile went over Charles Winthrop's-face, but something flickei ed along the smilef and up'into his aye which Christine did not see. He drer nearer, and took ber hand in his. " Christine," saidhe-and his voice bad lost a little of its steady poise " I must speak what I have to say in a few words. That sweet ideal of woman hood which my heart has so long linger ed after has been revealed to me. 1 do not believe that I should ever have foun it if it had not been for that night two years ago. Christine," he continued " you are rich, and I ata poor. I have nothing to offer you but a love that has twined itself so closely around my lif that it seems as though' it would be death to tear it away. Yet, it would not be because I trust in One who will give me strength to receive your answer whatever it may be. The Melvynshave told yon all about me that there is ? tell. ? young lawyer struggling up in life can have little to offer a woman in your position, particularly when his dearest friends have all gone to sleep before him, and he has nothing but his own. efforts, and his faith in a higher Power, to help him. Christine, you know the rest. If your answer must be ' No,' do not let it come from your lips, only take the hand which now I hold away." The little trembling hand lay still in his own, and Charles Winthrop had his answer. Half an hour later, walking up and down in the clear moonlieh*,-l??-j .??aid tn 'her,. " But, your uncle anet aunt, Christine! You "know what value-thev place on what I cannot gi ve you-wealth and position." The eyes of Christine Jarvys . made answer with her lips, " They will value my heart more than those when I tell them it is yours." And so the sorrow and the joy of two June evenings were blended together in the heart of Christine Jarvys ; and ever afterward they lent a tender sa credness and significance to each other. \- - Tbe Colored Mau? We have never ceased to urge upon the colored people of the South this idea -that their true interests ran on all fours with the interests of the white people of the South. The colored man who thinks for a moment that the car pet-baggers and scalawags have come down here from the North out of pure love for him and his race, and not to line their own- dirty pockets with the fruits of their stealings, is, to speak plainly, " a blasted fool." Human na ture shows no example of love like this, lhere is but one instance of it on the records of time, and that was given by the Divine benevolence, which gave th 3on of God to purchase the forgivene if a world of souls. These scurvy scoun ?r?ls from the North, colored men, at iere io prey upon the whites and^ to nake tools of you," and the rascals nev il'cease ta laugh in each others faces vken they think what blind asses they lave found in the majority of your peo Forget not what we. have told ycu so iften that the white and the black men if the South have, in the end, to settle his question of relations, political and ocial, between them. When the scala wags have filled their pockets with all he plunder they can lay their thieving ands on, you and we will be left to lake a final settlement. - And just as ure as you are born you have got to ?eet us, face to face, in this matter, -ith the scalavrags counted out-count d out they are obliged to be. If not ne way, another, for life, is not pre ious enough to balance against the :ern determination of this people to verthrow the usurpation and tyranny fthese intruding scoundrels and incen iaries. Let tho colored man stand aside un 1 this contest for the mastery of this md is settled. He can gain nothing, ut risk much and lose much by taking part in it. Stand aloof, black man, nd then join and make friends with lose who win. The Southern people wish you well, id they will be your friends if you it them.- But if you consort with their ?emies, you"take your destiny with lem, and that is certain defeat.

We have societies,'and ?gislative resolutions, and newspa? er ppeals, and what not, on the subject, 'he .solution of our trouble will he for s to go to work with our own hands, row our own supplies of provisions, larry young, raise pur own " immi rants^' We are eight millions of whitc??j eople, and in twenty, years can be six- fl ?en millions.

Ie have hands to work withal, and ms and daughters who have hands also, et us betake ourselves to earnest labor, ad we can dress our own Eden. " L? or is wealth." That is it! But whose ealthisit?

Here is Eden ! ere are our " lands."
