%lr. Bligh said to Theo. 'She is com

'1 think Mr. Bligh has been rather

Miss Dundeo said, quickly making way
for T??ffb lake a neat on the sofa by
her side, 'he's more than halt afraid
that you won't like me, aud if you don't
it will make him very unhappy.' So
she spoke, in a girlish, almost childish
outspoken way, without seeming to con
aider or to> {park the .effect of. her words
either on the man she addressed or ou
the bystander*. 'I 'should have known
you as Theo anywhere I'd seen you,' she
went oh ; 'you'll 1>e - exactly like Mr.

abruptly and colored a little, but a mo

composure and resumed, 'when you're as

did she, with her Scoteh name, come
with that touch of acceut?that way of
softly resting on the vowels that is u
specialty of Irish women's pronuncia
tion of words that they want to caress '!
As he asked himself this, he looked at
her more observantly, and wondered also
Itow she had come by that face and that
expression.

In a remarkably short time the two
became the most devoted friends.
Bonnie Dundee was not a mere insat
iable eoquetto. She was uot a heartless
fool, ready and willing to pi ty fast and
loose for the sukc of gaining a iittlo no
toriety; but she was that oven more dan
gerous thing, a woman afflicted with
such a passion for pleasing that it be
came a Bno art in her hands and when
she was following it she could uot atny
lo count the cost of fuiliugs or huoccss.
It was a new sensation to her to have
the right to such attentions, and admira
tion aud love as Mr. Bligh luviehed
upon her, and as Theo offered at a re
spectful distance, on tho score of being
his uncle's nephew. It was n nur. sen
sation to her, and ?he enjoyed it to the
fj|ftre^]ing in it a^troo does ^ftf^V
ben?5 after rt loot; ir'ostj ?r in wniuiy
SfanWWtef1 ft loo% Mat, The fees* %f '
its being Wrong or rOprohensible in any
way to gather these roses of lovo and
youth and pleasure, that were bloooung
in hef path, never entered her mind.
She was not falso or tickle in reality,
*Bhc was only intensely ^foocU-of the ox
?aiSinent of being ffyxit tfpoft a pedestal,
and being only worshiped In the sight
of all men.
There came a day wheu it was rovcal
ed to her suldonly, so suddenly that it
made her dizzy, ana then she behaved?
like a woman.
One morning, uncle, nephew, and
Miss. Dundee met.
?Theo has been talking this morning
ing of leaving us soon, before ho goes,
dear, we must let him know what day
he is to conic back and hail you as an
nunt."?It cost Mr. Bligh more than a
slight effort to mako this speech with
ppparant ease, for during the last few 1
days itc had net been Hind of sight.
But he succeeded iu doing so, and ouly
he biuiself suspected the pain his own
words gave him. .??.
'Going ! Theo going !' exclaimed
Miss. Dundee, lapsing from inn into .
surprised solemnity in a moment, and
laying her whip with a frank caressiug
gesture on Tbco's arm as she Spoke.?
'Oh, don't think of going, Theo; I can't^
spare you?we can't spare him, can
we r
? Thp men's cyo met for a moment aa
Mudgrj spoke, and in that moment each
read that the other knew all about it.
?He knoWH I love her,' poor Theo
moaned in his heart; and 'lie sees 1
know it,'Mr. Bligh thought, with not
cn?l Whi? lerc ptttti: And a silence fell
on them, and Itl that silence Madge saw
things clearly at last.
To recognize the lovo of. one man in
the presence of nnothur man who has a
right to feel jealous of it, is to be in a
posititJu of the" greatest danger und
delicacy and difficulty. Poor Madge
*tlinehed^rtuyi?t foment when she
found horsdlf Irl It, but the next, iri.st.1nt
?sho recovered herself, and, with the
generosity of a woman, sought to put
them well with one another without
regard to herself.
?It was selfish of mc to say I WoUldu't
spare you, for it mi st be dull for, yott
horc; but the fact is, Theo has spoilt me,
just us my brothers do, and I have
fallen into the way of orduriug him
about as I do them, forgetting he isn't
a brother.'
It was terribly trying work for them
all, weighted with the discoveries they
had recently made about each other.?
It became insupportable to Mr. Bligh
after a short time, aud so ho sauntered
out iniu the gurdcu, and Theo and
Madge were alone.
Her spirit rose with her sense of
danger, as does that of all finely organi
zed natures, and she turned to him
bright and brave at onco, though he
had grown to be very dear to her. and
though she know that ho was suffering
horribly on her account. 'It seems to
me,' she said, 'that we're all very weak
and wrong to lot a shadow sc.tie over
the lust visit you'll Iihyc with u , until
I.am au old m..rricd Woman, with house
hold cares on my shoulders, that will
crush down my love ef visits.'
'This will be my last visit with vou
Miss Dundee.'
'Theo !' JShc threw such a world of re
proachful tenderness into the tone in
which she uttered that ono word, that
the. man she addressed trembled visibly.
Hi- resolve, when spoken coldly and
harshly, shocked and surprised her out
of the brightly prudential tone she hud
Inl y ii.'ended to adopt. Why had Mr.
liligh gone away, leaving them the prey
of this mischievous opportunity K
'Yes ; for Heaven's sake, don't speak
to me in that way. or you'll drive mc
mad !' and thou he got up and went to
the window ; und poor Madge saw that
his face had grown very pah-, and that
an expression of hopelessness had settled
upon it. . .Slu: could not bear it. He
had been so thoughtful for her always ?
so gentle, and devoted, and sympathetic
? that she tclt as if she must comfort
him, let what might come of it.
'Then,' she said agnin, with that same
pathetic cadence :;; her voice, 'yon have
been so kind to me always; I can't be (r
to sec you so. Can't I make you hap

He turned round quickly and pa ugh t
her hand.-, as i.c was standing near to
him.
'Madge, do yon love my uncle'/'
; Palf Irightonod, ?ho drow hack from
ahap, and 'I am engaged to hin;,' she
stammered.
'Yes, but you have made me love you;
you knew your chance, and you have
used it. It' yon lovo him, let me go

an end of it, by going away. The two
man had no verbal explanation on leave
taking, but they parted as comrades
who had been wounded in the same
fight might part. And then Theo found
that, though existence was not embit
tered to him, the savor had gone from
the old pleasures.
It wasd- cidedly not worth while now,
he f'dt, to try and do anything good or
definite; lor be could never find a woman
to share his gWy or smila upon bis
success, who could put Bonnie iJiiiVMP

that he" heard no tiitiHgs from til'.' (.'base'
for six mouths, atid then he vetlt tired to
send his nddress to his banker) and to
have letters forwarded to him; but be
fore these Liters are read, a retrospec
live glance at the Bonnie Dundee must
bo >;iven.
She bore his departure very bravely.
Remember how many other interests
were claiming 1 er utteution at the time,
and remember the ardent, impression
able, changeable nature of the girl.
There was a good deal of the w man.
She had the faculty of feeling intensely
for the lime, and of getting over things.
Is not that last characteristic the see: ot
of many women keeping right, and of j
many others going wrong?
It brushed the bloom of the beach
roughly when h< went away, lor that
veiled idolatry of his had been very
pleasant to her; nevurth loss she bore
it bravely, and made the beat of that
which remained to her. 'I am so sorry,
for I was so fond of him,' she said to
her lover, with that disarming frankness
which women of her calibre know so
wnll how to us?* And Mr. I'ligh bear
ing her. did llOt wonder that Iiis nephew
had bee" scorched by the fiery ordeal
thrOllgll w hich he had hi en pasted.
There was this about it, that it was
such clean lire that even her own sox
could not despise and condemn ami
prophesy evil filings concerning Miss
BUtidcc's warmth. Just as she lived
li^l.t, and dancing, and floWofs, and
sweet sound.-, so did she love to be
loved: and though it fuutfc her dm r
oufl, it never made her despicable. And
somehow men understood tin- aid so
fostered her other foibles, because ol
their gladness that she was free from
gl cater ones.
It was only about a week before the
day fixed for their marriage, that Mr.
Illigh ventured to speak decisively to
her . Very earnestly and uently he
spoke, beseeching her to open all her
heart to him, and to tell him if any
other image had ever displaced his.
And Mndgi listened to him thoughtful
ly, and atia.jzed iier own uuioltons, uud
finally answered him.
'If tie bad eoum first, I should have
loved Theo dcaperatcly ; as was, 1
didn't dare let myself. You're not
?fraid are. you ?'
Only for your happiness, my \hjut

without him,' she added, with a sudden
passion thnt Carried her out of TlcrSelf,
'and* convinced linn that bIio could never
be bis wife.
/He u the younger man?and?you
are right.' Ho tried lf? auy it calmly,
'but it. was an awful blow j and again, us
the strength of his manhood was shaken,
Madge waverce^"*Mitj|?fylbVd to comfort
him.
'Let^ .things .go *m.ft?U I ?hall forget
him, or grow indifferent to him ; I know
myself?I shall livo it'down.'
'Kou need not, poorehild, for he loves
you too.'
'Ye*, I know that,' she answered with
the rooklass openness that made her
what she was.
After that, e^ 4i?uuh of tin; world as
knew the lilighs nud FDnudocs had a
fresh ;'nd delightful source of wonder
ment for a time. The marriage between;
the cwner of the Chile and Made was
hrokc'n off. and still tl.oy were frieodly j
and stil! neitilei Would liston to rmo word
ngaiuct or c.'ntim'jtit on the conduct of
the other. Time ivolfW tell, people said
sapieotly, reserving their belief as to
what time would tell to themselves.
Sir mc-jths pushed, and then Theo
Hligh received those letters of which
mention has been made. One was 1rom
Madge, and contained these words :
'Your uncle has promised to explain
everything. 1 need only nay that 1 shall
always be your faithful friend, Mudge
Uund'te.'
O^bc other was from his uncle, nud
eontatucd a free forgiveness, (ibis was
only implied, not coarsely volunteered,)
and a full account 'Comeback and win
what I have lost, and as I Invc you as
my.-son, so will I love her as my daugh
ter.' That was something like an invi
tation from a defcu^^jo a successful
toVcr!
Once nn ro fate was against thing"
righting themselves in the (dear and
glad wuy that was made so open. Theo
had by .this time taken a situation in a
mercantile house in New York?a

tiic delay bravely, having illimitable
faith in the jirl he loved and iu him

faith, by avowing her love for him, and
losing the richer man and the better
position by the avowal ! Had she not.

which h?ve had mad ? him commit.?
\ Fate favored him now 1 he steamer I

was down at the Chase, grasping his
uncle's hand.
'And now you know what my next
move will be,' he said, when the greet
ings were over, subduing his own glad
ness as much as in could, out oi respect
for the sorrow by which his uncle had
bought it 'What is the matter '' he
added in alarm, seeing a change in the
kind cordial I ee that was b< n oil him.
'You know I have coin ? to a:1: her to be

A Louisville Romance.
A Louisville (Kentucky) cdTfcstfon
dont of a California pap?r tolla the fol
lowing improbable story :
There lived on-street, in nn
unpretending establishment, surrounded
by trees nod dowers, a yoting lady who
was celebrated lor hef beauty end ac
complishments. Sho Was a blonde, with
blue eyes, white tooth, nnd n hcnvcrfly
smile, had the prettiest hand and foot
that ever was seen, and was tall, lithe
and elegant Her wit was elegant, j
pointed and sparkling, and her mind as
superior as her fect, nnd her suiters
were as importunate, sf not as many as
Pcnclopn, like whom she was continu
ally wooed and never yet won. In the
midst of bor success came the war, the
end of which found her fatuity impov
erished and herself reduced to want for
the necessaries of life.
But she was still the same proud, im
perious mistress of hearts as before, and
she refused in quick succession the many
offers of rmfrriage that were uow made
to her. Sht had not thought of matri
mony as a resodrce, but had other and
totally different prospects in view. She
proposed, in fact, to teach o school.
A fellow townsman, a gentleman of
wealth nnd position. dlml a bachelor,
had long bto'n n silcrit Worshipper at
her shrine. Ho had bodies and lands,
estates in tho country, and lots in the
city, stocks, interests and investments
wherever they would pay, and his dri
\ ate establishment on--street was
simply palatial. Seeing how the case
stood with bet whom he loved with his
whole soul, he resolved, after many self
commutilngs and mach reflection to ask
tier to be his wife.
'Sir,' said she, in answer to his pro
posal, 'I do Wot love you; and I cannot
you.
'Think the matter over, my dear,'
said he, 'and in one week trom to day
give me your answer.'
I'pon his return, on the day se*f she
? aid lo him :
'Sir, you have r?dnlth dud I Am poor,
you live in a pilaCe*| iftnl I, as you see.
in a cottage- you arc desirous of having
nty hnnd, nnd I wotihl like very much to
be tidt. 1 will make yd? a proposition.
I will throw the dice with you-**-rov
haild against a hundred thousand dol
lars '. la it a bargain ?'
'It is. said he And thereupon they
plodgcd to each other their words to
hide the hazard :
It was arranged that but throe per
sons should be let into the secret: that
cacti should select a friend ; nod that
the two selected friends were to select a
third. Miss-named the Kev. Mr.
-pastor of the fashionable church on
-street, as her friend; Mr.-chose
the Hon. Mr.-a prominent member
of the bar, as his; and these two made
choice of Mr. -. an eminent profes
sor ol the Modi al College, tho friend of
both parties. By these gentlemen the
prctiiuicnries were urranged, and the
programme was this :
The Doctor was to give a party at his
house on a certain specified Friday eve
ning at which wvre'to be present all the
best peopie *?i i jOtll.HVtllo; iiiu lioil. .nr.
-was to have a license in blank ready
to 611 at a moment's Warning, and, was
to hold Mr.-'a check for 81000,000;
and the llcv.--was to be in waiting
to perform the cerc.'itony, if enlicd on so
to do. The dice were to be thrown in
Hon. Mr.-'s study whence (he quin
tette were to proceed to the party,
where if ilflfB-lost they were to cele
brate the wedding, and if she won, they
were to mingle with tlm guests without
remark.
At precisely 9 o'clock ott the eveutful
evening the players and their fiiencTs
met in the lion Mr.-study.
By agreement of the parties themselves
they weft: to throw poker dice, and to
cut cards for the first throw. The gen
tleman cut a Queen and the lady a Jack
and uow came the tug of war. lie was
cool, calm and pale; she was statuesque,
imperious and collected. His lips were
compressed ; hers were formed into an
extended are, spanning the whole mouth
and completing the bow. The twain
sat on opposite aides kof a small table,
and the umpire stood overlooking them.
Tho dice box being set bofurc hiin^
Mr. - placed his finger over the top
aud with the thumb clasping the side he
gaffe it a shake and threw two fours aud
two duccs. Putting Saide the foUrS, he
threw again, aud threw another four.
Then throwing the two remaining dice,
he threw two fives. He had fhrovsu
there fore, a full?three fdtlra" mid two
fives.
Aud now cat?e" jlisfl-'s turn. It
was a thrilling moment, aud the rustle
of her "ilk (HesS in the stillness of that
room sounded like the tree tops in the
wind. She begaa. by drawing off her
light glove, exposing a|l.. ml of, y.,?"-??o
beauty and delicacy, on the iorc4j"KCr of
which sparkled ? diamond. The0,' tak
ing up the box quickly, she gave1
long shake in the air, and, turning!
down upon the table, ohc threw?notl ?
iug ! A t'hmd thereupon passed over
her face, and the arc of her lips assumed
n still more bow-liko ciirtaturo. Hut
nothing dttdtito'J she at onec retook the
box and thrc1 gain?this time tUrdiug
up four deuces ! and the fifth cocked !
Terrible mischance 1 Miserable Inck !
Again she threw, and threw two deuces
and two trays. Putting all the dice back
into the boA. she had Itgffc but one other,
and last throw, upon which now tested
her only chance. For the first time
since she sat down she spoke asking for
a glass of water. Having drank a tum
blerful, she sat for a moment pressing
together her eye-brows between her
thumb and forefinger, and then, all of a
sudden, Crfc Snatchod up Ihd dice box
and shook it vehemently, and threw ?
three fours and two sixes, and won!
And did site take the money, you ask
me ? I answer most cmpltatierflly she
did.
Here eudeth my second lesson.
IttMufifying Country Homes.
Strange ideas enter the niinls of
many persons when the subject of beau
tifying home surroundings is mentioned
in their presence. They will usually
utter the far too cot-uion arid absurd re
mark ttiat such ihfngs arc curtly, and U }
in only tile fidli who dait afford them. It
certainly Costs no more, as a goneral rule
to build a hod?c ten rod* from the high
way than one as rtfady fcCt f?Om it; aud
still these latter Unsuitable"j*ud iiutppro
| prhttc locations drd being occupied al
most every day. If lawns arc named'
1 Tollers, particular kinds of seeds, and
lawn mowers are brought to mind ; and
while we are re:idy to admit tint a good
lawn Cannot bo made nor kept irt first
rate eondi??rt without these implements,
still a grass pint, large or small, occa
sionally mown, is far better than none.
Kvcn a meadow or pasture in front or
near a dwelling might add sum-thing to
its general good apjiearanco.j
The far too common stylo of arrange
ment of country homes, is to place the
mansion within a few feet of the public
road, the barn a few rods in the rear, and
the intervening space is filled with wood
piles or necessary outbuildiugs. If thero
is a kitchen garden it is usually situated

The broad acres of meadow or pa-lure
dotted with handsome trees, give us n
sccuc worthy of the artist's pencil.
The poml in the foreground was once a
filthy slough, the home of willows, al

properly expend ,d, has changed it into
an ornamental as well as useful shoot of

should uevoto so extended a field to
ornamental purposes only, for few farm

as a meadow or pasture, aud if sheep
