HOW Xlhll?R A1NSTON GOT

CHAI'TKR II.
Refore Henry and his frieuda had got
far from his house, he said to them : "If
1 t-hould full a viel im this muruing, tell
Eliza Buyer that bcr duplicity was the
cause of it; and"?
"Don't," interrupted his friends, "al
low such feelings to overcome you. You
will bo the victor, and then Eliza's band
will be yours. Now is no time for rui?
giviugo and fears. You must icalizc the
duty you owe to yourself in this ninttor,
and encourage the belief that you v.ill
come out successfully."
Henry's friends argued alter this man
ner because they saw that it would not
take much to make him show the white
t.-rithcr Already he had said. "It's
uonscuse after all in fighting fur a wo
man," (the buoyancy that his soliloquy
about his name had imparted to his
spirit aud nerves, bad gradually worn
away ; and he had commenced to argue
with himself that it was scarcely worth
one's while, to set himself up as a target to
be shot at, when the prize at stake was
only a woman). Hirt friends noticed
this, aud kucw that it would require
some goading on, to make him fight.
It must uot bo omitted to bo recorded
that neither of them cared to take his place.
? After getting over the influence of tho
ale and wine they had draok tho previous
night, the desire to fight had worn off,
and they had become tame and timid.
It is strange how, whon under the in
fluence of liquors, a man can say so
many things, sot so many parts, which
soborucss will rebuke and make him
ashamed of.
It is frequently the case that the most
abject and iniserablo coward, after get
ting two or three drinks in bim, will cs
sty to hold the greatest man at bay;
will insult s marl Who is physically able
to mash him into minoe-moat.
But let Us return to tho party where
there are uo ales and wines
The place appointed ior the settlement
of the difficulty was reached. But just
before the shooting took place, several
officers of tho peace rode up and arrested
tho whole party.
Of course this broke the affair up for
that day.
Tho officers of the Jaw had got wind
of it tho night before, and determined
to prevent bloodshed, by arresting the
parties.
.But upon the promise of each, that
they would not attempt to fight again
within the limits of the State, they were
all released.
After they returned to the city, how
ever, arrangement wero made to settle
the ma'ter in nu adjoining State. They
both now seemed deter mined to fight it
out. Arthur, from the bjginning, never
showed n moment's uneasiness.
He was calm aud collected through
out, aud contiuued so to the last.
But we will leavo the rivals here for
the present, aud ret urn to Eliza Bnyer.
It will be remembered that the last we
saw of her was with Arthur. Aud it
was out of that interview that tho quar
red, between our hero aud Henry, grew.
C1IAPTBB III.
After Arthur loft Eliza, .-he retired
to her Mom,
Hero she thought over in secret what
had transpired, und the significance of
the encuurugeuicut she had givou Ar
thur.
"I-almost wi?h," she' said to her?elf.
"that I had given him to believe that 1
lured him frnui tho first hour I met
him. But ho is gone uow, and pefh>pn
! will be forced tu marry Mr. Henry
before 1 Fee hi tu again. Oh, Heaven !
how I wish that father could under
stand my heart, how it bates und despises
the man ho declares 1 shall marry.
Uut I will tdl hint one mure time of it
I will get upon my kne&i, before him,
and beg to be released from the betroth
al which he has made for me. Unless his
heart has become seared and callous j
utile?? he has forget to love his child,
be cannot refuse to hear and graut a
compliance with my petition.0
Eliza was disturbed, ut this moment,
by some one knocking at her door.
She rose und opened it, and found, to
her surprise, a servant with a message
from Mr. Henry.
That message was to "Tell Miss Boyer"
[Not Eliza, us Henry wus always accus
tomed to call her] "to come in the par
lor."
Eliza told tho servant to tell Mr.
Henry that she was iudisposod aud could
not sec him.
To this a peremptory demand, for her
to appoar in the parlor, was sont in re
turn.
The poor girl, trcmbliug with fear,
lest Henry should send for her futhcr to
compel her to sec him, told the servaut
to toll him that she would be there di
rectly.
Henry, during tho interval, paced tho
parlor up aud dowu iu an impatient
mood, his face the while lighted up with
rage.
What was the object of his call ?
Surely ho hadu't visited the sweet and
tender Eliza Buyer, for the purpose of
expending upon her hclploss head vials
of the wrath that was hid behind the
cold irou look his couoteuance bore !
He could uot bo so mean.
But Eliza is coming, and we will let
what transpires between them settlo the
conjecture.
As she entered the parlor, Henry
raotoined her to a seat, and thou took
one himself right iu lout of her.
Henry had fully prepared himself
to open immediately upon Eliza, and
reproach her with suoers about what he
tor med duplicity towards him. 11 ut
when he hoheld her countenance, sub
dued into a heaven-like tenderness bj
teurs, his iron he a t failed him for a
moment.
He oould net talk harshly to one so
fair, one so like an angel.
Eliza sat for a moment with her head
down, and theo began to sob bitterly.
Ah 1 how different, she thought, was
the expression of Henry's face from
Arthur's. The latter's beamed with love
and nobloness of spirit, while the for
mer's wore an expression which scorned
to Btji "I don't care whether you love
mo or not, yon are mine, and I will
make you feel it."
As soon us Henry saw her crying, he
becamo euruged, and said in sharp tan
talizing tones, "You inny cry but that
won't bring hitn back. I will settle with
him when 1 got through with you."
Here Elizu pulled her handkerchief
from her face and said, "Do Mr. Henry
leave me for this evening. I will meet
you iu the parlor in the morning. I am
fcjling badly now."
"Excuse you, ch ? " said Henry with
a bitter jeer of irony. "I will do
no such thing. Tell mc, what have
you been crying about ? I have a right
to kuow, und I doinaud that you tell
me. What was Arthur Ainstou doing
hore but a few hours ago ? Tell me,
for I will kuow it."
Eliza's weakness seemed to leave her
ns she straightened up tiud said, "Not
wbut you are doing now, Mr. Henry." i
. I
"\\ li.it it> that?'" interrogated bor lov
cr. *" I
"Insuttrtig mo, if you want to know,"
Eliza replied, with nil of thu womanly
firmness she Could command.
It is surprising how strong some wo
men are. i'vo:! in their weakness ; and.
fortified with such strength, how raruly t
is that inen enn oopo with them, utile s,
indeed, he descends from hid proper
Sphere, und acts the part of a brute.
And then again it is a matter ot more
surprise what wonderful changes can be
wrought upon sc:ne women in a few mo
incuts' tiuie. Now you behold them
prostrate, weeping, overcome and appa
rently in utter helplessness* the n xl
moment you see them rise above them
selves, shake off their weakness, mid
ready to contend with man fur their
rights.
When Eliza first entered the parlor
where Henry was, she could scarcely
utter a single word. In fact, she gavo
way to a flood of tears.
Tho mean aud bitter taunts from
him, however, soon aroused her la
tent womanly indignation, and Henry
beheld before him a woman whose
eyes beamed with a resolution which
he had never before seen light up tho
face of Eliza Buyer?a resolution which
showed to him that because her father
had betrothed her to him, yet he should
not think th.it that made her his slave,
and that kIw would resist itnv attcmnt
j i
at coercion ou his part.
He had aroused Eliza, and her lips
did not tremble when she told him :
"I will tell you, Mr. Henry, what Mr.
Ainstou was doing here. Don't think
I'm afraid to do 80. He came here to
tell mo that he loved me better than you
do,?not to tantalize mo with the
sneers of a heart that has no sincerity."
"What is the ntottcr with you, Miss.
Buyer I"' enquired Henry, u little taken
back at Eliza's words.
"That ia not tho question to answer
now. You asked mo a while ago to
tell you what Mr. Ainston was doing
here this ovening, and what 1 had been
crying about. I will ausw.r these
questions, then I will tell you what is
the matter with mo," Eliza continued,
not giving Heury a chanco to speak a
word. "I said Mr. Ainston was here to
tell me that he loved me more than you;
that his live was puro; and that he
lovod mo because of myself, not from
a deeire to have father's prorerfy
cousolidated with his. ?hat's what
ho was domg lieie, Jpr. Henry.
I was orying," she kept o? ?H>ecause 1
know that a cruel fate Si so Gxcd it
that I e muot reward thutlove without
disobeying the iujunctiotjpof my only
parent; because I kenw, whilo he wus
standing before nie, plcsid?g his heart's
lore, that you would ueijcr relinquish
your claim ou u hand tint', was given to
you, not by its possessor, ?ut by a hard
hearted uud inflexible fatlier; because 1
know that iu spite of my latred for you,
yet with the assistance of "him. I will be
forced into a matrininniafallianco with
you."
"How long have you bjcu practicing
thu*. speech '{" Ilonry sajfl sarcastically.
"And now us to what isfhe mutter with j
mo," Eliza resumed, appj feutly resolved '
ou telling her lover a^ "piece ol her
mind'' one time in her lj o. "I urn ol
feudud at the manner u which you
sought mo this evening; 'at jour bitter
mean jeers at my rcq pet, and your
disregard of my feelings.' That's what's
tho matter with inc."
'?Whenever you get tl tough I'll take
the floor," interrupted lifnry again.
"Mr. Hcnrv don't taUiUme any more,
or 1 will bani-b you (YotuJ'uiy presence if
I do d:s? il.ey my father-|by tho act," ic
plied Eli/.\, somewhat an taute 1.

"He did not say uir [thing to in.-ult
me," w..n the laconic reply.
Henry thought thut iiy changing bib
tactics, be Would be luutfO itkeij, to sue
ceed in extolling a prutpiso from Eliza.
That j romisc was to uCYvr allow Arthur
to visit her again.
Hut Eliza saw throjtgh his flimsy
uia.sk, and at puce rolufcd to listen tu
his woids.
She knew that what lie had spoken,
w hen he first entered thd parlor, bis bit
ter and mean taunts, wei'e not the result
of ji desire to tease hcrJbut j. i.l ?1
from a heart prone to Jealousy, und a
mcuu and nirrow selfishness.
She had been inflicted with hia Com
pany long enough to know s mi thing of
his attempts at deception.
S? whon Henry thougljt, by changing
his bearing toward! Eliza, t> wrench
from her tho real secret of Arthur's re
marks to her. w hile at the City 11 ill.
hud his subsequent one? that evening at
her own h use, he bad mistaken the
composition of the girl's nature he pro
fessed to love.
There were no deceptive qualities about
her; and there was nothing that sho ab
horod more or practicod less than du
plicity.
Her disgust then, at tho parts which
Henry attempted to piny, can be very
easily imagined.
Itaising up again, sho s.iid :
"Mr. Henry, you can extort nothing
from me, either by threats or feigned
professions of love and regard for mc, oth
er than what I would toll you any how.
I (old you in the' beginning that Mr.
Ainslin came here to tell me how much
he loved mo. Need I repeat hia wordo to
convince you of the truthfulness of what
I say ?"
'?No. But whnt did you say to him 7 "
enquired Henry.
"IIa, I thought that was what you
wauted all the time," replied Eliza. "I
will not tell you all," she continued;
"but let it suffice for you to know that
I gave him .sufficient encouragement, in
reply to Iiis confession, to raise a hope
within his bosom."
"And he was fool enough to drink it
nil down 1" questioned llcury.
1 "Yes; and he vows to come back
again. Perhaps some kind Providence
will yet free tue from the galling
obligation under which I am held,
' and bless nie with the mau for whom my
spirit yearns.
"By heavens ! I will not stand any
more of that," exclaimed Henry. "If Ar
thur Ainston is the man your spirit
yearns after, I will fix him before I
j visit this place again." So saying.
Henry loft the house, without even bid
ding Eliza good evening, and directed
his steps towards the hotel at which our
hero was stopping.

The Charleston Election.
Charleston, f3. C,
August 4th, 1871.
/.*.//'? r Ortingtbury Arim:
The late Municipal Election in this
City which for tho past two mouths has
occasioned t*uch excitement among the

ticket. Tho d.v of election passed
qnictly und without bloodshed, with the
excepti? ti o( the colored man, Ilailam

St itcs si Idler at one of the 8th Ward
Polling Precincts. Towards evening
when ihe \?? l!s had been closed, a large
uuml r t I citizens of both classes re
paircd to the various precincts, pre

carry ii j I tin ballot boxes, formed a line,
and man h d down to the Court House,
where the boxes were deposited, and a
Committed of citizens of both parties

ring the night. In the morning the
I Commissioners and Managers of Elec
ti mi assembled in the Court House, aud
proceeded to count tho votes. The streets
? iu tho vicinity were crowded with peo

they were doomed to disappointment,

vory sore at the result, and think it is
not the strength of the Citizen's Party,
but their own woukucss, plainly exhibi
ted during tho past month in first nomi
! tinting tin Aldermnnio ticket, which 30
honest man could Conscientiously vote.
a*nl then changing it for one which was
! in the main no better, together with tho
fact that several of the nominees declin
ed running.aio the sources to which
they ascribe their defeat. The traffic
in votes was very brisk and several fights
j "J'ugnci'it el Calci?cn" grew out of this
reprehensible practice, whilst it cannot
be too severely condemned, it is a oote
worthy fact that the purchasers invaria
bly got worsted, for as Byron says:
'?Examples of this kind are so contagious,
Wero one not puuisbed alt would be outrage
ous."
I have learnt from reliable sources
that the Citizens' Party spent $f)0,000 in
or.ler to secure tho election.
A vory amusing incident occurred at
the City Hall yesterday aftor tho result
was known, the crowd grow very turbu
lent, and as somctlring was needed to ap
pease their disappointment T. J. Mackey
au I Mayor Pillsbury appeared upon tho
Btepi and addressed the assemblage
Mayor Pillsb?ry, in the course of bis re
marks, urged upon the people the ne
cessity of abiding by tho result, aod im
plored them to keep quiet, aod not on spy
account disturb the public peace. He
wound up by eaying very feelingly, al
luding to the defeat of his ticket, "That
the Lord gave and the Lord has iakea
away," when the crowd with one consent
roared "Blcssod be the name of the
Lord."
Business is quite dull but preparations
are already being made for the Fall
trade, which is ezpectod to be unprece
dcntly large. Our merchants, and busi

bo the means of making Charleston the
queen City of the South.

A Noble Benefaction.
The Trustees of the Louisville Medi
