It is strange how men can be Made t? ?d -sjiair at times.

Hut after awhile his, cul?ior judgment tuok possession of him, nnd his bosom became again inspired with hope.; aud :aftcr debatiug the question thoroughly ' With himself, ho resolved to write to ? . I *J0lixa ngnin. ?Mouths aud months passed on weary Wings before the mail brought Arthur the long IddkivJ fur-letter. In it our fair lier iuo betrayed signs of her womanly weakness ngaiu. She did not ncquic ce in any of Ar thur's propositions, but eit^feted him lo ' try to forget her, and not tempt her any ' more to disregard the wishes of Her father, lest hor should heart fail her in performing the duty which she owed to { him. Arthur seized upon this last thought j with as n?i?eh tenacitv as a drowning ' than would evince iu catching at an ob ject floating upon tho water which he thought, wonid ?!?.ve his life. So anoth er nud another letter was written, until a regular correspondence was established. in tho meantime. Henry had recov ered ; but an abeess that came upon hio righ.'check had left a hideous aud repul sive scar iu its place. Henry had. hitherto, beautiful beard, ' but there was a great place left by (lie ; ?nbecss. upon which none would grow af forwards, consequent ly he had them all to sh ive eft". This added to Elizrf's other objections, 1 .and prompted hy her increasing love for Arthur, she was emboldened to tell her. father that she would.uavcr Liarry Hen 8he io\d old Mr ?o or that if he WWoId rcquiie any other sacrifice of her, ' she would intake it, but to innko nn offer ing -f her bappine+s just lo gratify an uincimopabli: uptToii ol'his,sho could uot do. , As might be expected, her father Baid' ho wouldn't nsk her. But after awhile, when ho saw ? thut his daughter meant what she declared to him, he began to think a ditTorcut way. llo realized that it would be n tolernbly hard effort to make a resolute nnd dttcrmiucd woman stand up nt tho marriage altar and permit her self tu be legally joined to a man whom she despise3. Feeling this more forcibly than ever, ono afternoon when Henry called for Kliza to go riding with him and she re fused, the old gentleman said to himself, '?I wonder what sort of a fellow that Ainston is, any how ?" This shows that he bad ut length des paired of making Kliza marry Henry. But let us hurry on, for we have now spun out this story to throe times the length wc originally intended it to bo. After Henry recovered eutirely, Ar-j thur's friends called upon Iura for the purpose of arranging matters for the ad justment of the difficulty which existed between them. They were surprised to find the former iu n careless nnd_a kind of don't-care mood. To their inquiries, they were told that he ? Henry ? had met with misfortunes, I and that he had abandoned the idea 01 fighting for a woman that hated htm. Of course Arthur's friends couldn't, ami did nuf. persuade him to fUht ; and upon his Hating that he hud acted hasti Jy and in a manner f?.r which he was sorry, tlie affair was dropped. But when Arthur'- friends left him. he KWol'e to himself to be revenged. ll s.. :ns thai this miserable man, hav liied to buy, was determined never to bo ?cone his wife j ami that his rival was not ll III in to he triflud with, had th?T> to:, j resolved to drop Eliza, nnd neologize, lo our hero bo- live insult offered him. When ibis i is tell igen ee reached Ar- j tlsor, bis future seemed brighter than ever before. He tin tight that if he could only get ; the old g nth man's consent that all | things would be right yet. But this ! was a wild ihnug1 t of his. As well might he bad hoped to stop the ebbing and flowing of the ocean as to try Io g.iiu the approbation of old Mr. Uoyer Flo bad sworn mw that as long us Klfen wouldn't marry Henry, she should ?irr? /? marry. Hut months passed on, and tho cor respondenoc between Kliza and Arthur continued. Hojry had Stopped; visiting her en tirely. So many times he passcA heV upon the streets, without even recognizing bpr,, that she thought he had lenrnt to lute her. At. last Arthur proposed to Kliza the propriety of writing to Mr. Buyer and telling him everything. - i ?? Iii IS J-nv UlSSCtllOU. She said she knew her father better than lie, and that 1 e would not cuter tain the idea of their marrying. 11 disregarded, however, her wishes SO much as to write to the old gentleman any how. The reply to it, contained these Words : Mu. Ajnston : i demand an immediate suspension of the correspondence between iny daughter and yourself. J. Ii. BovKit . This note didn't discourage Arthur, howeVi r. lie enclosed it to Eliza, and urged, that as her father seemed immovable, it would be besi for I hem to take care of themselves, and appoint a day nt once for their nuptials. After weighing the matter calmly iu her mind, Kliza replied, leaving the matter entirely with Arthur, who of course immediately named tho day that he would visit Clayburn for the purposo of bringing Kliza away with him. The iriarriuge was to ho a clandestiuu affair, aud not evon old Mr. Boyer was to know unythiug of it. But through somo unacconntahle medium ho got intelligence of it, and it was thou that ho summoned Kliza to his room to warn her not to marry. He told her that he would disown and disinherit her, if she threw herself "away by marrying Arthur AiilSton." Kliza made uo answer to his long lec ture. She couldn't if she had wished to, Her heart was too full. For the fir.it time iu her life had her father shown him self to be entirely given up to his feel ings of hatred and revenge. With tesrs in her eyes she sat down aud wrote Arthur all that he had said. But the intelligence did not surprise our hero [Io had previously funned n c irrcct opinion of the old guilt Ionian's j ire, when oneo aroused, and could not then lore affect astotiishuieiit at anything he did. However, for Kliza's sake he wrote her a long letter iu reply to her rjitos tlOHS, "What if her lather did so and so?" and "What would become of thorn ' if he did?" Arthur answered these with sal isfac- ' i tion to Kliza s mind, ami she hccaiue J more impatient than ever for the di\ to arrive that would unite her destiny with one whom she loved better than she di ! all rarihiy beings. Tw>? ycavs |ind intervened between Arthur's interview with Kliza, und the ] night where we found him in the h.-gin tug of our story. ft will I ?? re ?? ill. cted that we left l.::.. : itrCli.ybuin al the hotel, aa l tint ho had visited that city for the p.irpo.se df many iug Kiiz i.

Hut a str?ng?? impulse, it will be reinem? bcred, took possession of him directly j after his arrival in Ulayburtl. Although be knew that Mr. Buyer would never consent to his union with Kliza, yet he resolved t > go to him next morning and tell hint of his purpose if Arthur livido any blunder throughout tho whole affiir, it seems that this must ha' been it.

"Anything I can do for you?' was ad drcs.-ed to him by an anxious clerk the moment he had made good his eiiirar.ee "Nu sir," was the reply. "It the pro prietor iii f "Yes, sir.

Ho Started, but before be had proceed cd ten paces another clerk accosted him with, "What can we sell you to-day?" "Nothing," Arthur responded some what peovishly, and passed right on. Before he got to the- counting room, he was assailed again, this time by a fat Dutchman, who, beforu our hero could say a word, had him by the arm. "I am not purchasing to-day," Ar thur said, pulling his arm loose, nud suc ceeded iu oscapiug further - interruption. When he got to tho door, old Mr. Buyer's keen eyes fell upon him. A sharp phlegmatic "Co:no in, sir," was the only invitation given Arthur. ' This is Mr. Buyer, I presume," he said, "my name is Ait.stoti."

I How Sal Disgraced tho Family. A traveler in tho Statu of IHiuois, some years ago, came to a log cabiu on 1 the prairie, near Cario, and there halted. He wcut into tho house of logs. It was a wretched affair, with an empty pack- ; iug box for a table, while two or three old chairs and a dis-ibled stool graced the reception room ; tho dark walls of which were further ornamented by a display of dirty-tin ware, a broken half article or two. The woman was crying iu one corner, nnd the man, with tears in his eyes and a pipe iu his mouth, sat on a stool with his dirty nrms testing on his knees, and his sorrowful look iug1 head supported by the pilni of his bauds. Not a word greeted the interloper. ?'Well.*'said he, "you seetu tobe in awful trouble here what's up '{" '?Oh we arc most cruzy, neighbor,*' said the woman, "and wc cin't got uo patience" to sec folk?j now." "That's all r'ght," said the visitor uot much taken aback by this polite rebuff; "hut can I bo of any service to you in all this trouble ?" "Well, we've lust our gal ; our Sal is gone otf and left us," said tho man in tones of despair. "Ah; do you know what induced her to leave you ??' roiharx'od the new ar rival. "Well, wc can't say, stranger as how she's so far lo^t as to he induced but then .?he's gone and disgraced u-," remarked the afflicted father. ??Yes, neighbor, and nut as I should say it as is her mother, but there warn't a pootier gal iu the West than my Sal : She's gone and brought ruin ou us, and 0 i her own head now," followed the stricken mother. "Who has she gone with V asked the vi.-it.. r. "Well, there's the trouble.

Then look what a home aud what a life she has deserted. The gal was surrounded by nil the luxury iu the country," said the father. "Ves. and who knows what poor Sal will havo to cat, drink or wear, HOW,*' groaned the old woman. '.'Aud who is the fellow that has taken her front yon to lead her into auch mise ry,"' quoth, the stranger.
