On this lot I nevor had been able to se? cure a "Hand" by reason of tho "CUT wonu," al? though I tried salt in various ways. On the rows to which I applied tho "PERSI?

Tbe yoong orescent moon bong, like m curved thread of silver, io the orange horizon that still bumed and glowed where the BUD had set more than> aa hour ago. From the woods that eresu ed the gentle slope, carno at intervals the plaintive cry of the whip poor will, and the whole scene was full of delicious repose. The windows of the little ion that nestled among the hills, as if it had growo up there among the oaks and beeches, were draperied with roses, whose orimson cups swung to and fro lu the fragrant wind that had been steal? ing perfume from a thousand sheltered copses uod blossoming wild flowers. It was a pretty, picturesque spot enough -not a fashionable hotel by any means but merely a stopping placo far the stages that performed tri-weekly jour? neys over the steep roads to tl}? mineral springs that lay eight or ten miles be? yond. In the white curtained apartment, dignified by the title of "ladies' parlor/' one passenger was quietly sauntering up and down, waiting for the arrival of the aforesaid stage. By tho light of the solitary lamp on tho table, she looked very fair and dolicato in her dove color? ed traveling dress, and tho pearly edg? ing of lase round her throat and wrists. Her hair was just that shade of palo brown that verges into gold, and the brilliant hazel eyes, fringed by long curled lashes, gave an expression of win? ning softness to the whole faoo. You n' ver would have suspected that this girl was a belle and a beauty in the drawing rooms of the metropolis-she seemed so formed by nature to dook tho quiet solitude whore sho was at this - momcut. Thus capriciously does Vate soattcr girl blossoms over the face of this earth ! As she paced the floor, playing with a sprig of roses she had gathered from a saucy branch whioh fairly hung into the room and singing softly to herself, tho door opened and a ruddy faced old gen? tleman, armed and equipped with carpet bags in numerable, made his appear? ance. "The stage is ready, Mary !" "SJ soon, papa ?" "So soon! [ should think it was time! Here I've waited a mortal half an hour iu this savage place, where a body can't b-o much as get a good cigar or a woek eli newspaper ! I, for ono shall bo glad to getaway from it. Give mo your trav? eling buskct, my love-take care of the turn in the steps !' Hero we arc safe inside." Aud away went tho lumb? ering vehicle "Hold on, driver, hero's a pair of bc luted passengers for you !" Tho officiating Jehu drew in hin horses with a jerk, as a merry voice hailed him from thc roadside. "Room lor two inside ?" "Just room, sir." Thc door swung creaking on its hin? ges, and closed again. Miss Vere's heart had involuntarily quickened in its pulsations tilv moment those clear, pleas? ant accents had chimed through the hea? vy night and air, and she knew that two rival lovers, whose company she hhd been disappointed in not having in the stage, were about entering on the scene. Rut, with all a woman's perversity, she sut silently in her corner, and was secret? ly rejoiced that "pupa" was sleeping soundly in his corner. Thc two young men, (Alfred Gorman and Frank Mil brooke,) who hud walked ahead to a commanding point to see the suu set, soon canto into thc stage, which again went jolting along uutil it suddenly stopped once more. "What arc wo stopping for now?" exclaimed Gordon. The stage door was opened with an abruptness that had nearly precipitated Mr. Gorden out upon tho green turf, und thc driver shouted ?'Gentlemen and ladies, cau'tyou make, room for one more ?" The expectant passongcr presented herself on thc steps. Ry thc uncertain glimmer of thc box lamps, she appeared to be a shriveled old woman, ot nearly seventy, with a crumpled black bonnet, n pair ot rusty cotton gloves, and an umbrella that must have been bequeaths cd to her from tho days when there were giants upon tho earth ! Alfred Gordon viewed her (out ensemble with dismay. "Room, driver ? what aro you talking about ? we ure crowded already !" "I know it, sir ; but her darter's sick und she wants to get to her right away. It's old 'Siah smith's widdcr, donn to _>> "I dou't caro whose widow sho is there isn't roon?. Look at her camphor bottles and musty crape-a nice com? panion to bo jammed into n closo coioh with. Go ahead drivor ; judging from tho looks of her shoes, a walk of four or five miles won't hurt her !" "Gordou ! for shame !" exclaimed Milbrookc, reprovingly. "Havo you forgotton that sho is a weak and aged woman ? I'll rido outside myself. Ma? dam, will you accept my seat?" He alighted tin ho spoke, and courte? ously he offered his oid to tho venerable relict of 'Siah Smith, who, being half blind, and more than half deaf, had been balancing on the stops in a stato of hope? less bewilderment. In vain Alfred Gorden shrugged his shoulders and curlod his lip nt the clone vioinago of tho camphor bottlo and big wicked buskct. Milbrooko arranged the old lady's worn shawl as carefully os il it had been tho cash mores of ti duchess. "I don't know who you may bo, young sir," said tho old creature, in a tremulous voice, as ho at length with? drow, "but I know you're a good son to your mother." There was no reply. Tho heavy door was dosed, and tho ponderous vehicle slowly got in motion onoe moro. Mary Vere had sat porfootly silent during the whole of this brief episode, but her cheek had glowed, and her eyes flashed, more than onoe. And DOW that it was over, her heart pulsated with ? curious medley of emotions. It seemed as if, during those few momenta, ahe had obtained an insight into the natures of the two gentlemen, whioh the months and years or her previous acquaintance with them had failed to supply. "He who is wanting in politeness to the oldest and humblest of my sex, lacks respect for myself," reflected Miss Vere, with an instinctive straightening of her lithe form, "and the man who treats the poor and aged with courtesy, is ono of nature's princes !" There was no more puzzling of the little brains to decido the important question whioh had greatly perplexed her a short time before. She was quite oertain, now, which of her two admirers she preferred "Hcighho! I must have becu asleep," yawned old Mr. Vere, as the stage stop? ped in front of the Union Hotel, and his daughter gently reminded him that they two wore the only remaining occupants of the cumbrous old equipage. Frank Milbrooko h ui courteously as? sisted the old lady with the crumpled bonnet to descend, and seen bet safely undor tho escort of her son-in-law, a tall young man, with light hair and very expressionless eyes, who was waiting to receive her, while Gordon was walking up and down tho piazza, enguged in igniting a cigar. Neither of them were quite inclined to believe in the ovideuce of thoir own eyesight, when tho bril? liant row of gas-lights over tho hotel door streamed full upon the faces of tho two hist passengers, as Miss Vero spraug lightly from tho step, followed, moro slowly, by her father. "Miss Vero, is it possible that wo had tho pleasure-pray, take my arra." 13ut Mary turned haughtily away. "Excuso mo, Mr. Gordon-from what I this evening witnessed, I conclude you had rather not trouble yourself to extend courtesies to-a lady ?" And she had accepted Milbrookc's proffered assistance ero tho astonished Alfred hud fairly comprehended thc fact of his tacit dismissal. "Why, boys !" exclaimed tile cheerful voice of Mr. Vere, who had just suo cccdcd in collecting tho bags, baskets and magazines whhh had been his trav* elliug companions from New York, "how ou earth carno you hero?" "Upon my word, sir," said Gordon, "I was not aware wc were follow-'passeu gcrs I" Nearly a fortnight aftcrwurds ho chanced to moot Milbrooko, who hud just been accompanying Miss Vere home from thc most enchanting of Greenwood pic nics, and wus now returning to se? cure some missing fun or parasol. "So, it's true, that you uro tho ac? knowledged lover of thc golden-haired Mary," suid he, lightly. "Well, Frank, accept my sincerest congrntulutions. l?ut one thing I will insist on, my hov-if it hadn't been for that old hug in the stove, in bonnet, I'd have entered the lists with you and given you a pretty even com? bat !" Milhrookc smiled-it was impossible not to do so. "And I'll tell you what, Frank," pur sued tho discomfited suitor, "hereafter 1 intend to bo extra polite to all tho old women with umbrellas and cnmphoi bottles, when I ride in stage coaches. ] find it's a paying business ?"

The following is thc text of the lot ter of tho Marquis de Buuncvillo, th French Euvoy ut llorac, in which ho ru ported to count Daru, in Paris, the rc suit of his interviews with tho Pope am Carolina Antonclli, when presenting th Emperor's note on thc infullibiliiy qucs lion : ROME, March-, 1870. Monsieur Lc Comic : In accordance with your Excellency' instructions, dated thc 1st inst., I calle upon Cardinal Antonclli. IlisEraincnc received mo with tho utmost courtes) Ile ulso listened with great attendu to the reading of your disputch and th comments whioh I deemed it proper t ranko, and then, turning to rac, bait] with a smile : "Ls that all ?" On my replying that it was, ho added "Daru need not have taken thc troubl to write to mc. During thc past cigh toon years I have received 205 di.? patches perfectly similar to this one, ii substance, if not in form. Somo wer ot a public, others of a secret naturi Tho former documents were signed b Thouvenel, Drouyn de Lhuys, Lavalotti and this ono is signed by Daru.' Tht is all thc difference. Do you wish th proof of what 1 say ?" With this remark ho opened n h > full of scaled dispatches. "Von seo th stump 0? thom. Aro not these til arms of Franco ? Not ico the datos 1854 ; and this ono, 1850 ; and that om 1850 " "Such, (hen, is all tho notico yo toko of thc observations of France ?" remarked, with vivucily. "Oh ! Air. Ambbsndor, don't bc nngr; I havo merely obeyed tho orders of tl Holy Father, who prohibited mo nbsc lutcly from breaking thc seals of llici (M.-pa tch cs. So far as I um con cc ru ci I would willingly satisfy you. Heall, I should like to do something for th good Daru (excuso mo, M. lo Comte, I doora it necessary to givo you tl very words of his Eminonoo, howcvi unduly familiar thoy moy bc j) butwh can wo concedo ?" "A renunciation of infullibiliiy,'' suggested. ..You reason too oasily, mj vory do air/' replied thc ('ardi?al I and aa 1 spoke be took me by the arm, and we | strolled to end fro io the garden of the 1 Vatican. "Renounce the infallibility dogma 1 But reflect, my dear count, that the revolution may como to despoil us of everything, as it has done in other days before. What would there, then, be left to us were we no longer infalli? ble ? By the way/' he suddenly broke off, "there is hie Holiness walking past with Monsignore U-.Approach bim at the turn of the path and ask him what he thinks of the matter/' Just then Pius IX came toward us with a smile on his face, and with his usual graciousness of mauner. After the customary courtesies : ?Well, sir," said the Holy father to me, ''have you any news from Franco ?" "Yes, Holy Father, important news." "Oh, oh ! I hope that my dear son in Jesus Ciirist-my dear Napoleon-is woll, is he not?" "Yes, Holy Father, but"-? "And my dear charming daughter, the Empress Eugenie ?" "Their Majesties aro both remarkably well. But this is not what brought me hither. I have come" "And the Prinoe imperial ? Is he expert on tho velocipede ?" "Extremely 60, Holy Father. I waB charged" "But they say that General Frossard is rather Btriot with him. Wrong, wrong, Tell him so on my part, Mr. Ambassa? dor. It will not do lo fatigue the minds of children ; nor above all things to forco them too severely to study his tory and the natuial sciences. Bear it well in miud my friend, that a Christian knows enough of thom when he can tell his right baud from the left, to recite the pater. All tho rest is vain knowl? edge and food of little substance, which wearies tho mind instead of nourishing. Ah ! by tlio wuy, how is Madame, the Ambassadress ?" "Very wall, Holy Father-tho Count Daru"-. By this time his Holiness was turning tho corner of tho walk to reenter tho palace, but at tho mention of your name he turned and said to me : "My dear sir, if you dc3iro to talk politics, there is Autouclli to listen to you and answer you. The imperial fam? ily arc well, you tell me ? So tnuuh the better ; that is tho main point. All that you could say moro there is no need ior you to say. Daru don't like tho dogma of infallibility. That is a pity ; but thc Holy Ghost will not halt for lear of dist ut bi tig Dam's scruples. Tell him, my son, that neither he nor any other person will prevent me from being infallible. I am, 1 feel myself to bc in? fallible, and who eau kuow it better than I?" And Pius IX spoke with increasing warmth as he went on. 1 strove in vain to calm him. I assured him of the devotion of France to thc Holy Sec, und particularly of your personal at? tachment. "Yes, yes," replied his Holiness, "I know my faithful oucs, and J. also know how to npprooiatc them. Daru feels affection for ino-I am awtiro of that; and he is not thc only one. I count still more ou M. Thiers, who, even if bc hus become a convert u lillie late iu the day, is worth haifa dozen of apos? tles to mo. Then wishing to know his whole thought, I edged in .some cautious phrases to convey thc idea that his Maj? esty's (Jovcrmueut might bo constrained to withdraw our troops from Homo should thc Council adopt tho decisions incompatible with thc spirit of the age and tho laws of Franco. "There," said his Holiness, "is tho grout cowardly word at lust ! You would lcavo mc alone with Mazzini und with Victor Emanuel, who will como to res cuo rac from thc Republic, as ho did at Castlcfidardo. Do, PO, then. If you a bandon rac God will not desert mc. Ho will defend rac from the demagogues, ns Ho defended Daniel from ibo lions and should it please him to reserve us for martyrdom." Here tho Cardinal Antonclli made a grimmaca. F do not think t.hat his Etnincuco has atty taste for mar? ly rd om. "Should it please bim to reservo us for martyrdom," replied Pius IX, "His will bo done ! But wc have not got so far ns that yet, Mr. Ambassador; and the. Emperor well knows that his crown is suspended by the same thread as my tiara. Say to ray dear son Daru, that I send him my benediction." Such, Monsieur lc Comte, is thc fiuit that I havo culled from ray visit. I shall say nothing of thc corte ms at? tentions with which Cardinal Antonclli endeavored to soften the effect of his muster's remarks. I returned with us? urious interest tho compliments with which he smothered me, and wo separ? ated, I, to render to ycu au account of our iutcrview. BONNEVILLE. CillEKLUY ON THIS SOUTH AND Illili CAnPU'r-BAGGKItt). Tho New York Tribune says : "If tho South cnn simply go on ns sho is going for ten years longer, she will bo richor and moro prosperous than she ever yet hus been." It spoaks ol' the "Ku-Klux as one of her scourges," and of tho "carpot baggers" us another. It dofin?s tho latter precisely us wo do. They are not tho honest Northern settlers-who come among us to make their homes and follow their legitimate business but, in tho language of tho Tribune, thc carpet-baggers oro those who wont South in quest of oflioo, power or plun? der of somo kind, mid who have let nothing stand iu tho way of their greed or ambition. -A nogro mctnbor of the South Carolina Legislature has introduced a bill compelling plantors to make their '.fences horse high, bull .strong, and pig tight." ? r WASTING TIRIB "H ?re. y ou are, sir, waa ti og your valuable time-aa they say to tao." laid Charles Diokene ooo morning, many years ago, as his little boy ran up to him on the Broads tai rs sands, spade in hand, and we have often wondered since bow many people there are who know what is meant by wasting time. It is very easy to make mistakes oe this subject, for nothing ia ao deceitful aa appearances. We all know that Penelope, that olasbioal model of pro? priety Sud all the virtues, employed her time in weaving a garment by day, and unraveling it at night. She did this to keep off her lovers, who wanted to per? suade her that her husband Ulysses WAS dead. When the suitors found her out, of course they acoused her of waating her time-but at that moment Ulysses knocked at the door, after seeing many men and oities. In fuot, he had como home, and tho fair Penelope had her reward after all. Surely it is waste of time for that old tortoise to try and beat the nimble hare at raoing, but the silly old thing will orawl on, without oucc stopping, at about the pace one gets down the Strand in a cab on a rainy day. Presently, down comes the hare at a furious paoe-there is no wasting timo with him, at all events-but, alas I whoo he arrive* breathless at the winning-post, he finds the old tortiso there before him, and fast asleep too. "Ah !" says the hare, "I wish I had taken my nap at the end instead of the beginning ot the race, and then I should have won it, and that tortise would have crawled in vain ; as it is, he has made good use of his time, and I have wasted mine." What an idle man that is yondor, fishing,hour after houri Truly a me? lancholy spectacle, as item old Dootor Johnson would say. "A line with a worm at one end and a fool at the oth? er." Wrong again ! That man is an eminent statesman, who has escapea to recruit his weary brain in the company of the kingfisher and the heron. What cloquenco, wisdom, and wholesome legislation do we not owe to suob hours of idleness! Nay, do not some of out best and kindliest thoughts often come to us as we sit on the beach and tost pebbles into the shining sea ooverod with its "innumerable smiles?" Recrea? tion is not waste when it is a rest fron real work and a preparation for moro. We confess we never feel at home with a man who must always be doiug something. There was a French States man who wroto a huge book by snatches in those occasional intervals when h< happened to be kept waiting for his din ncr. We have not tho slightest wish t< seo this ante prandial performance. W have no doubt it was a very dull book for mon who are never at leisure are al ways dull. Fussy men and idle men are cquall insufferable to us. The real worker i nover in a hurry, and the real idle wo may add, is never anything els< Who ever heard of Lord Palmerston, o thc Duko of Wellington, or Lor Broughum, being in a hurry ? When w sec a man in a great hurry, wo may b pretty certain that his profession con t-ists in doing nothing, and that he i doing that badly. Tho idlest man w ever know was always so much presse for time that ho never had five tu in uh to spare for anything. No ono ncc ever bo in such a terrible burry as th i If wc ever find ourselves so, it is prob: bly because we have been wasting ot timo.

The yoong woman's name is Barkalo-Miw Darkalo, of course. The possessor of so strong a mind would never oonaent to relinquish so euphon? ious a name, and submit herself to the odious tyranny of man by eoteriog the bonds of matrimony. ?t is related of Miss Barkalo, biographically, that she is a native of Brooklyn, New York, and that after mastering Blackstone sod other elementary works, and being severely refused admission to Columbia College, New York, she went West end was admitted to the St. Louis Lsw Sobool. After eighteen months study, she recently graduated with illustrious honors, and having passed an examina tion by one Judge Knight (who will, of course, be hereafter famous), came off with flying oolera. She is now duly authorized to stand between ?aw break? ers and the punishment they deserve, and to assist recalcitrant married women to become single and strong minded like herself. We are also i h formed that she h a buxom lady of twenty-two summers.
