OB IG IN A L STORY.
THE FALSE COUNT.
BY WINNIE;
"Who is that beautiful girl to whom
you bowed so familiarly ?*' said Jiuimie
Earle to William Greenwood, as they
proceeded down the hteps of the City
Hotel.
' i'hat is Kate Lee, your cousin and
mine, Jtmmie," said Willie j "really you
must have left your memory utnoug the
beauties of 'Paris,' if you cannot recog
nise your nearest ol kin."
"You forget William, that it is nearly
ten years since I hist i, :liehl Kate, she
was then a lively little hoyden, of seve
ral years old ; thu lupne of ten years
makes a wondrous difference in a lady,
whatever, it may do with a gentleman."
"Nay, if you begin to discuss time's
changes, Jiuimie. 1 must confess, you
can't congratulate yourself upon having
escaped a touch of his lingers. Who, in
that bronzed complexion and hirsute
vi.-age, eould discover any traces of the
mionth-'chccckctl boy, whom 1 saw on the
deck of a French packet sliip, some ten
years ago. But tell mo why you didn't
write thut you were coining home. Because
I didn't know my own mind, Willie; I
really wasn't certain about it until i had
been a week at se.t. The odd pmuuucia
tion of my German vui -t havingouused my
name to be placed on the list of passen
gers, as 'Mr. Arle.' it occurred to me |
that the mistake would enable me to retui u
incognito, and 1 thought L would humor
the joke, il but io see how many of my
old friend.-; would recognise me. I ar
rived here late last i vetting, and should
now be a perfect Stranger in my native
city, had I not accidentally met you this
morning; and even you. Willie, didu.'tat ,
rfirst k"ii"w mo.
I "Know you, Charlie! who the deuce
could even sen you behind that immense
growth of brushwood upon your lip aud
cheek ! Do you reullj mean to wear thost
enormous whiskers and moustaches?''
'?Certainly not longer than suits 1113 pre
sent purposes, Vt i11 its. When 1 was in
Germany 1 learned to we ir moustaches
j for the same reason I learned to smoke
the meerschaum, because everybody else
did it.
In Paris 1 reduced them a little, but
didn't entirely banish them, because
there I also found them lushionuble. A 1
lively little French lady, a passenger in
our ship, wagered a piir of I'uris kills
that I would not wear them n week in
America; i accepted the bet, and for
one week you will ace mo bearded like
tho pard."
I '"Nay, ii you like them," said Willie,
laughingly, "you need not seek an ex
cuse for wearing them, they are iiuito the
fashion, and ladies now estimate a man.
not 11s thoy once did, by his attitude, but
j by tho length ot his whiskers."
"1 have ii" desire to win u lady's favor
by wearing an urishaveii face," answered
Jimmic; "but pray, Willie, tell some
thing more abi'Ut our pretty cousin. She
is as lovely in character, Jiminie ns she
is iu porsou, but she Ii s one great fault,
like the niest of our fashionable belies,
she lias a mania for .everything foreign.
Ilcr tlinnnere, her dress, her servant all
come frotu abroad; and she declared to
me reyiaMly Vier resolution never to I
' marry M 'A., ori. an."
j "What is it that my fair country wo
men so much admire in their foroign lov
ors? (tli ! thoy say there is a polish an
elegance of manners belonging to foreign
brs which ?Americans' never possess.
Two of Katie's intimate friends have j
recently inn- -id scions of some uutcdi- |
l?vian German family, and our lovely
cousin is ambitious of forming an equally
sploodid alliance.-'
"If she were to mart") a Western
farmer," said Jiuimie. with u smile, she
would reigu over ti principality quite as
large, and perhaps mure nourishing than
usually belongs to these emigraot nobles
Kate is a noble-heaited girl." replied
Wi.lie. and I wish she etiuld be eurcd
ol her lolly." "If she is really a
.sensible girl, and that is her only
tault , 1 think silo might be cured."
Willie shook his head. ' Coino and dine
with IttC, Willie; be careful to till Do
one of my arrival, and we'll discuss the
matter over n bottle of old Madeira, if
you are not too fashionable to drink.
Tho wind.?ws of Mrs. Lee's house
pouted a iloml of light through the crim
son silk curtains upon the wet aud dreary
looking street, while thu music heard at
it'tcivab told the rich were making mcr
ry. Tho decorated rooms were.brilliant!
with on army of youth and beauty, but
fairest amoiigfhem all stood tho mistress
of tho festival Attirod in a robe of
white crape,'With no other otnntneuts
than her pearls, she looked the personifi
cation of joy..
?'Cousin Willie," she- exclaimed, as
she saw her "futrorite cousin enter the
room, "you have not bven here these
three days ;" and then, in a lower tone, I
she added. "Who was the splendid Don
whiskers ndo Wft-h whom 1 saw you walk
ing yesterday V Willie laid bin linger
on his lip as a tall figure emerged from
the crowd at the entrance of tho door.
"Miss Lee, a flow me to present to you
the most noble Count D'Orsay." The
blood mounted into Katie's ehcek as the
Count bowed U>w over the baud which
he hastened to secure for the next, quad- 1
rille. There was a mischievous sparkle
in Willie's eye, and a deep and earnest
devoted ness in"* the stranger's manner,
which made her feel a little uncomforta
ble, though she knew not why.
A single glajtco sufficed to show her |
that the Count was attired iu a magnifi
cent court suit, with diamond buckles at
the knee, aud a diamond baud looping
up the elegant chapr.nU'linis which on- j
cumbered bis arm. After some minutes 1
she ventured to look at him more cour- '
agonusly. i
He was tall; nn? exceedingly well- [
shaped; his ? yes were very bright, but
ilie chief attraction was a beautiful
mouth, garnished with the most splendid
moustache that over graced an American
ball room. Katie was delighted. Ha
danced cieg.'Utlyy not with the stiff awk
ward manner of an American, who al
ways seem half bghtiuicd ol the undigni
fied part he is play ng, but with a buoy- 1
aney of step an<M,Muec of inofton perfect
ly unrivalled. Katie was enchanted
lie Bp dec I''ug.Uil{^ery well; a slight
German necc'n'i alone betrayed bis for
cign birth, and Katie did not like him '
the less for it. It is true she felt a
little (jtiuer when she found herself whirl- '
iug through the dance with an entire
stranger, ami bearded lips upon her hand
as he placed her iu a seat ; but this was
only the freedom of foreign mannet s
The evening passed away, like a dream,
and Katie retired toher room with burn
ing cheeks and a frame exhausted by
what she deemed pleasure. She was loo
touch excited to sleep, and when she np- j
pen red at her lather's breakfast table, (a
duty she never utfglcclcd,) it was with
such II pale check and heavy eve that he
was scriou.-ly alarmed. "These late
hours will kill you, my child." said he. ;
as he kissed her forehead. "I shall re
turn at noon, and if vor. are still so lan
guid 1 shall send for the Doctor."
So saying be slept into his carriage
and drove to his counting room, where
immersed in business, he forgot Katie's ;
cheeks, until the dinner hour summoned j
Iii in from his dingy little office to his
st. tcly mansion.
As he cutercd the door, he recollected
her exhausted look. "Poor child," mur
inured he, "1 wonder how she is?*' A
low musical laugh struck on his ear as
tin: servant opened the drawiug-rooin
door, the sight of lo r radiant e> unten
unce, looking mole brilliant than ever, as
she sat between cousin Willie and the
Count, soon quieted his fears.
The coldness which lin S''.Iutc?l the no
bio Count, formed a :.:;,'?.,?- contrast to
the cordial warmth with which he
graaped the haul of his nephew. "(Had .
to see you. William, couldn't sp ak to
you last night, you were surrounded by
SO many pretty girls. l>y the way. boy,"
drawing him aside, - who is that fellow ?"
"That is Count P'Orsay, uncle." ?M'hi'y,
what is his business?" "Business"!
why im chief hu.-imvs Is to receive the
revenues of his principality." "Princi
pality '. fudge, a few barren acres, 1 sup
pose It won't do, WUHatu, it won't do '.
Kate deserves something better than a
mouthful of moonshine. What tho deuce
did yon bring him hear for? I don't
think I cad tic.it him with common
civility if it were ub' for your sake."
j "My dear Kai", )ou have all your
whims gratified,'' said her father one
morning about two mouths alter her ac
quaintance Willi the CoUllt. "MoW \oU
must indulge one ui mine. Adopt as
many foreign fashions as you please, out
remember that you never, with my con
sent, in .rry any other than an American
My fortune has been made by my own
industry. And no empty titled foreign
er shall ever reap the fruits of my toils."
Tho earnestne.-s of these admonitions
from a parent who bad never spoke ex
cept in words of unbounded tenderness,
first led her tu look into the depths ol' her
heart.
She was almost terrified at her owu re
searches, when site found that she had
allowed the image ol the Count, to oc
cupy its in mos', hidden recesses. Uitter
ly did she ropont her folly. "I vvish he
wore ao American," she sighed, "und
yet, if lie was, he wouldn't, bo hull' t>o
pleasing."
How devoted his manners arc, how
much feeling there is iu ull he says and
does ! Poor girl ! she was like the las
eiuated bird?she dreaded his power, yet
slip could uot withdraw herself fro in its
influence.
She was sitting alone one morning,
brooding over her .. elancholy forebod
ings, when the object of her thoughts
entered.
Seatiug himself beside her, ho com ^
meuced ji conversation full of those
graceful nothings which women love to
hear. Katie was iu no moud lor gnyetv
The Count watched her carefully and
earnestly, after awhile he changed the
topic to one of deeper interest.
He spoke of himself, of his business
adventures, of his present aud personal
feelings, aud finally ol his: approaching
departure for Europe. Her cheek grew
pale, but suppressed the cry which rose
to hur lips ; the Count gazed proudly,
upon her, seized her hand ami clasped it
closely between his own, he poured Ibrlh
the ytogt passionate expression of affec
tion. Euultcr'ni;:. ioit frankly, si e stated ]
her lather's objections t(, l,rr union with
a stranger. 'On'v ti ll me. Katie d Ill
ing, that your father's prejudices are the
solo obstacle, said the Count p:>s innate
ly, say that you love .nc, and I will Lo
contented. For the love of Heaven,
ansiver tue if but by a look.
Timidly the dowu cu-t eye was raised
to his, and lie was ..vswerod. Then she
covered her face with her hr.nd-, am*,
hurst iu rears. "Katie." said ti e Cftuuf,
"You love me, those precious tears as
sure me that you love me."
??lie iniuc, sweet "o.>. y >ur father will
uot be inexorable.?he adores you."
??Therefore," said she, 'you would
have tue make hi . wretched lor life.
No '. Count, we must part ! You do not
understand my nature ? I have been do
Cuivod in you."
"\'?u have! you have been deceived,

?HuiUiic Earlu, whose little \vi('q y HI

Katie stalled from her seat in wil i
surprise. "What mentis all this ? Jimmie
Eurlu the t Jouut '."
The sudden revulsion of fueling over
owcred her, and her cotlsill Willie en- 1
tend the room oulj iu time to see her '
faint away iu Jimmie's arms.
Now the anger of tbe lady, whun shu
recovered and learned the trick vehicle

The fifteenth amendment is meeting
with opposition from an unexpected
(juavter. Senator tiuulsbury, of Dal a

by presenting a memorial piayii'g tor

At a meet hi"; of the stockholders of a
prominent railway corporation, recently
held iu this city, two gentlemen, both
wull up in the wjrld?one, however,
considerably the senior pi* tho other, iu
talking of old times gone by theyouugcr
gentleman called the attention of his
friends and tuld a pleasant Iii tie story
which should be read, with profit by every
poor, industrious and striving lad. We
use his own language :
"Nearly half a century ago, gcntlemcu,
I was put upon the world to make my
living. 1 was stout, willing aud able,
considering my tender y< ars. and secured
a place in a hardware store to detail sorts
of chores required. 1 was paid seventy
five dollars per year for my boyish ser
vices. One day, after I had been at
work three mouths or more, my friend
tin rc Mr. II . who holds his tlgC remark
ably well, came into the store and bought
a largC bill ol shovels aud tongs, sad-irons
and pans, scrapers, and scuttles, lor ho
was to be married next day, aud was
Supplying his household iu advance, as
was the groom'a au&tjoip in those days;
The articles were piek'd 0U the barrow
and piudo a, load sufficiently heavy for a
ynuug mule. Hut umte willing than able.
1 started olf. proud that I could move
such a mass on the wheelbarrow. 1 got
on remarkably well till 1 struck the mud

friend l>.'s house ?There. .1 toiled aud
tugged and tUgfJ J and toiled, but could
nut budge tho lujad tip the bill, the wheel
going to its full huh* diameter iu the mud

Finally a r;o ;<l tiaturcd Irish mail pjs. ing

he can compromise the debt by sending

had witnessed my struggles ami how
zealously I IhUoVcd to deliver that load
of hardware-; ho even watched me to the]
liotisc ami saw hie coil tit each piece as 1 !
landed it in the door way. He.sent for j
me next day; ::sk "i my name, told mo j

The School Dill.
M. ".Ml
Th j School Bill before the Legislature
of this State, haa some very good pro
visions and some very objectionable. Thu
control of the education of the children
of the Stute is, by the provisions of the
Bill, indirectly vested iu the Governor,
und the people will have no influence or
power over the teachers of their children .
We say the povf or is vested in the Gover
nor*, who muy turn out to be an lufide),
or Mormon, or Fouricritc, or any sort ofS
moral or political monster, and yet, by '
the power uuconstitutionully given tor
him, he may control every single free
school iu every County in the entire
State. There is a mooarcltey established
by the Bill iu the training nnd education
of the children ol the people. The
eitiions of a Couuty or Township will bo
obliged to submit to jus* such tcaehera
and instructors as the Governor and his
creatures umy select. This is easily
I proved. The Stato Constitution requires
j caoh County to cloct oue School ?7?aiKi
niissioncr to have charge of the public _
schools, seems plainly to intend that this
most important duty shall be discharged
by officers selected by the people; but lo 1
this School Bill authorizes the Governor
to appoint, in each County, two persons
to act with the School Coniurbsioner as.
a Board of Education, aud thus gives
{the servants of the Governor a majority
I iu every County Board. They arc to
j select und remove teuebers, and do all
other things in control of the schools.? ?
This is the legislation of a body calling
itself Ucpublicuu?giving to one single
