^nkrsfln Intclligcnar. RACHEL BRENT'S CHOICE. Kachel Brent came to Staunton, to visit her grand-aunt, Mrs. Lee. Now, let me tell you who Rachel Brent was. She was a woman of wealth, beauty, fashion, and pride; four things which, when combined in one woman, make her a woman to be feared rather than loved. And if she knew the curiosity and wonder she created among the villagers, she kept it to her? self, and chatted with them in a friendly man? ner ; for she could assume winning ways, and now she had put aside her pride, or left it in the city. A week passed away, and on the Sabbath Rachel Brent went to the village church, dressed in a gorgeous array as an Oriental princess, a look of reverence in her dark, lustrous eyes, and a smile of religious contentment on her lips. As the words of the pastor, "Let us pray," fell on her ears, she started, and suddenly rais? ed her eyes, just in time to catch a look from a pair of drak gray ones, but enough to bring a momentary paleness to her face, and cause her to think of a period in the past that until now that she had thought forgotten. Through the sermon she sat as one in a dream, and was sorry when the blessingjvas pronounced, for then her reverie was broken up. At dinner that day she asked her aunt: "Aunt Mary, what is your pastor's name ?" "Hugh Moore. I thought you knew." "I remember meeting a Hugh Moore when I was at school in P-, about four years ago;" and Rachel idly sipped her soup as she spoke. "It is the same man, for he came from P?-, and has been here two years. He and his mother live next door; they only returned yes? terday from a visit." "Strange how one meets old acquaintances 1 After I left P-we were in Europe for two years, and truly I never expected to see him again ; but who can tell the future ?" "That is true, Rachel," spoke Mr. Lee. "And who knows but I am addressing the future Mrs. Moore?" "Why, I know you are not, uncle," laughed Rachel, as she left the room. Mr. Lee looked after her, then turned to his wife, and said: "I must teli the parson that we have an old acquaintance of his with us, and have him call soon." True to his word, the next evening, as Rachel was playing idly on the piano, for her own amusement, he brought in Hugh Moore. For an' instant she faltered, but only for an instant. ancLshe met the man she once promised to weu with a calm and serene smile of gladness; and, as he held nut his large, shapely palm, and she laid.ben fingers, laden with jewels, in it, she suhilud.archly up in bis face. "Mr. Moore, I scarcely recognized you in the pulpit yesterday. You have changed." "Not others with me." And he looked searchingly down into those dark, bright orbs of hers, but read nothing pleasant to him. He led her to a seat, and sat down by her. "Where have you been all these years, Miss Brent?" "All these years! Oh, Mr. Moore, you make me feel old by such expressions 1" "Well, it has been more than four years since Hast saw you, or heard from you." "True?it hasv But as my life has been such a panorama of pleasing scenes, I took no note of time. When I left P-we embarked for Europe, and did not return for three years, and since then I have been in the city." "It is pleasant to enjoy the beauties of this life; but it is not a common lot" ? * And thus they talked, never once alluding to that particular period of their lives which each now remembered too well. Time passed away, and many were the pleas? ant evenings they spent together. In music, reading, and general conversation they spent the time. Rachel was a good talker, and now sje determined again to have this man bow to her shriHe; so she threw all her art in? to action, spoke with her tongue, and pleaded with her eyes. Hugh Moore of to-day was not Hugh Moore of the-old time. He read the determination of her heart in face and action. All that youth mi passion had burnt out in his heart, and now he worshipped at a purer altar. It was the last evening of her stay in Staun ton, and Hugh Moore was to spend it with her. For all she had taught him the severest lesson a man can learn, yet, as he sat by her side this last night, looked down into her dreamy eyes and listened to her low musical voice, he yearn? ed towards her, and hoped in his heart that she might love him some time. But he could not again ask her to become his wife, lest she might deny him ; he wished to know the truth, yet feared to kuow it. When he calmly said, "Good-bye. Rachel," tears of mortification and pride rushed to her eyes which she vainly tried to suppress, mak? ing excuse by saying: ^'Indeed, I always weep to hear a good-bye, for we may never meet again, and it seems like looking the last time on a friend." He drew neat to her. "Rachel, do you remember the adieu which was said a few short years ago? Then I hoped to have a happy meeting again, and now I never expect to see you more; and this is a sadder farewell to me than that was. Heaven alone knows how madly I loved you then ; you were so innocent, so beautiful, so good; and then tdiink of my terrible awakening, to find my passion a dream, and the one I loved gone from me willfully and forever I" "Don't be too hard on me, Mr. Moore; I was so young then and inexperienced." "You were old enough to practice the win? ning ways of coquetry, to ensnare unsuspecting men, and then leave them to struggle in the web you- have woven;."' "Let me now, Hugh, ask your pardon for the blight I caused in your life. Will you for? give me ?" "Forgvie you ? As I expect to be forgiven, Rachel, I do. You are not now the same you once where. You have passed through the whirl of fashionable life, and it is plain to be seen that you are a woman of pride, fashion, and ambition?one that it is well for me I did not wed.." " You speak plainly, Mr. Moore. I am happy to know myself." "Don't be angry, Rachel; I know there is good in you yet, though it is surrounded by the brambles of the world. And oh ! if you would throw aside all these foolish things, and be your own noble self^. how I would rejoice 1" As he spoke, he took both her hands in his, and said: "Rachel, will you not become a good, true woman for my sake ?" "You plead, and talk as though you had the right. Iso, Mr. Moore; I have chosen my path, and I will follow in it. It will kill me to pass forever through the quiet haunts of life. I en? joy it for a time, as I have this summer, but now there is a restless longing to be back again i*? the merry throng of the city. I did love you, Hugh, in that time you spoke about; hut wheu I went out into the world, there I found so much grandeur, that I had not room in my heart to love aught but the world ; and now, in the future, I may marry for fame, distinction and wealth, but I can never love again." "I do not believe, Rachel* that is the lan? guage of your heart. I know you thought I would again renew my suit. I "cannot; but if . in the time to come you grow weary of this world you love, come to me. Remember, the arms and heart of Hugh Moore are ready to receive you, even if it be late in life. Come, then, after all the passions and follies of youth are burnt out, and we will spend the declining years together." He clasped her for a moment in his arms, left on eburning kiss on her lips, and was gone. She stood motionless for some time, then inurraured. aloud: I "What made me talk so? and why did he not ask me now ? He has no faith in me!" She went back to the city a changed woman ; none knew why; and she did not ask herscl f why these once pleasant scenes had no more interest for her, until the truth thrust itself upon her that there was but one thought in her mind, and that was for Hugh Moore. But pride kept her back till nearly a year had flown, and the one love of her heart, that had been smothered all these years, grew into such a vast flame, that pride, ambition and their retinue were consumed. A tiny note came to Hugh Moore. Itwas as follows: "Dear Hugh : Come for me; I will willing? ly go and stay with you. Rachel." It is needles to add that Hugh obeyed the summons. A Rare and Interesting Case.?We chronicle the facts as we heard them of one of the most remarkable cases of the partial abcra tion of the mental faculties, an iaiosyncracy as rare as it is interesting in a philosophical point of view. A single lady, in her third decade, residing in this county, of most respectable parentage and connections, and in possession of ample means, became acquainted some ten years ago with a minister of the Reformed church who was then and is at present living in Pennsylvania. He was here at that time on a visit, she heard him preach but once, and du? ring his brief sojourn but the most common courtesies of the most casual acquaintance ever passed between the.a. Since that time she has read a work published, of which he is the author, and has also read, as they appeared from time to time, several articles of his which were published in a church paper. About a year ago she fancied that the reverened gent referred to had gone through a regular and formal courtship (by letter,) that she had ac? cepted him, and that the wedding day was fixed, not an early one to be sure, but nevertheless one agreed by the contracting parties. This fancy grew in her mind to a faxed and settled fact, and during the past year she has been very industriously employed in getting and prepar? ing the thousand and one things supposed to be indispensable to a lady's trousseatt, and also in having ready somo of the articles required in housekeeping. At the proper time she or? dered an ample supply of elegant cakes, fruit, confectionery, &c., indeed, omitted no particu? lar in the variety of an elegant and bountiful bridal feast; then the invitations were issued, and this brings us to the bridal eve, when all was ready but the bridegroom?he was hun? dreds of miles away, and in blissful ignorance, that his coming was so anxiously looked for, his presence so necessary to a continuation of the ceremonies. So admirably had the lady arranged all her plans?so exactly and success? fully had she executed them?that it was not until the very last moment that her relatives and friends had reason to believe that she was the victim of an hallucination. She now thinks that some accident, some dispensation of prov? idence, prevented his coming at the time ap ?ointed, but he will surely come she doubts not. 'his is such a case as demand our sincere sym? pathies, although some unfeeling brutes may find in it a source of coarse jest and vulgar mirth. We may add that on all other snbjects her mind is sound as a dollar.?Frederic (Md.) Union. The Integrity of the Bible?It is a mat? ter of congratulation that the Bible has passed triumphantly through the ordeal of verbal crit? icism. English infidels of the last century raised a premature paian over the discovery and publication of so many various readings. They imagined that the popular mi-ad would be rude? ly and thoroughly shaken, that Christianity would be placed in imminent peril of extinc? tion, and that the Church would be dispersed and ashamed at the sight of the tattered shreds of Magna Cliarta. But the icsult has blasted all their hopes, and the Oracles of God are found to have been preserved in immaculate in? tegrity. The storm which shakes the oak only loosens the earth around its roots, and its vio? lence enables the tree to strike its roots deeper into the soil. So it is that Scripture has glori? ously surmounted every trial. There gathers around it a deuse "cloud of witnesses,"?from the ruins of Nineveh aud the valley of the Nile; from the slabs and basrelic? of Senna? cherib and the tombs and monuments of Pha? raoh ; from the rolls of Chaldce paraphraats and Syrian visionists; from the cells ana libra? ries of monastic scribes and the dry and dusty labors of scholars and antiquarians. Our present Bibles arc undiluted by the lapse of ages. These oracles, written amid such strange diversity of time, place, and condition ?among the sands and cliffs of Arabia, the fields and hills of Palestine, in the Palace of Babylon and in the dungeons of Rome?havo come down to us in such unimpaired fullness and accuracy, that we are placed as advantage* ously toward them as the generation which gazed upon the book of law, or those crowds which hung on the lips of Jesus as he recited a parable on the shores of the Galilean lake, or those Churches which received from Paul or Peter one of their epistles of warning or expo? sition. Yes! the river of life, which issues out from beneath the throne of God and of the Lamb, may, as it flows through so many coun? tries, sometimes bear with it the earthly evi? dences of its checkered progress; but the great volume of its water has neither been dimmed in its transparency, nor bereft of its healing virtue.?North British Beview. In Keeping with the Times.?We learn from Mr. Osborne Schuinpert, who was depu? tized to wait upon the legalized Board in Col? umbia, for the purpose of having commissions made out for our newly elected County Com? missioners, that he failed to accomplish his purpose. Out of the seven constituting the board, four were in the city, and these would have made a quorum, but two of the number, Neagle, and Moses, the younger, refused to meet or agree to the granting a commission. Mr. Schumpert related much that was said by these mulish and determined radicals of the board; and the efforts of Gov. Soott to reconcile matters, but as the result is the only point in the matter, we omit all els? and simply say that he failed, and the reason assigned was that there was too much Ku Klux in Newherry County; that the defaulting members resigned ?a mistake and a lie, for they never resigned, bnt were indicted and fouud guilty and impris? oned?and that the election lor the present of-' fleers was carried by the same influence. Wc simply say that this action of Ncaglc and Mo? ses is a base subterfuge and shows that there is neither honesty, justice nor fair dealing in them, and how could it be looked for, for it was never there. If anything more was needed to convince our people of the heartlcssness and corruption of the dominant party, it is afforded by this refu? sal to commission legally elected "officials.? Radicalism is pledged to a certain work?their lines arc marked with mathematical precision ?aud the sooner our people open their eyes to the fact, the better, as they are to be led by slow and tortuous steps to the last turn of the screw. ? A learned counsellor, in thd middle of an affecting appeal in Court on a slander suit, let fly the following flight of genius: "Slander, gentlemen, like a boa-constrielor of gigantic size and immeasurable proportions, wraps the coil of its unweildy body about its unfortunate victim, and heedless of the shrieks of agony that come from the inmost depths of his vic? tim's soul, loud and reverberating as the migh? ty thunder that rolls in the heavens, it finally breaks its unlucky neck upon the iron wheel of public opinion, forcing him to desperation, then to madness, and finally crushing him in the hideous jaws of moral death I Judge, give us a ehaw of tobacco." ? An economical fellow says when his stock? ings were out, he sews up the top straight across, and puts them on his feet the other way, thus making a good lit for square toed boots. A New Remedy tor Invalids.?Seclusion from the sunshine is one of the misfortunes of onr civilized life. The same cause which makes the potato vines white and sickly, when grown in the dark cellars, operates to produce the pale, sickly girls that are reared in our par? lors. Expose either to the rays of the sun, and they begin to show color, health and strength. One of the ablest lawyers in our country, a victim of long and hard brain labor, came to me a year ago suffering from partial paralysis. The right leg and hip were reduced in size, with constant pain in the loins. He was obliged, in coming up stairs, to lift up the left foot first, dragging the right foot after it. Pale, feeble, miserable, he told me he had been fail? ing for several years, and closed with, "My work is done. At sixty I find myself worn out." I directed him to lie down under a large win? dow and allow the sun to shine on every part of his body; at first ten minutes a day, in? creasing the time until he could expose himself to the direct rays of the sun for a lull hour.? His habits were not essentially altered in any other particular. In six months he came run? ning up stairs like a vigorous man of forty/and declared with speaking eyes, "I have twenty years more of work in me." , I have assisted many dyspeptic, rheumatic and hypochondriacal people into health by the sun cure. I have so many facts illustrating the wonderful power of the sun's direct rays in curing certain diseases of invalids, that I have seriously thought of publishing a work to be denominated the "Sun Cure. ?Home and Health. Jndependent Journalism.?The Lynch burg Republican (a true Conservative journal) thus refers to the journalistic war between the Louisville Courier-Journal and Ledger: "There is a significant lesson in this contro? versy for journalists to ponder. If it be fol? lowed closely step by Btep, it will be observed that the Journal has been fought with such rancor because in the late campaign in Ken? tucky it refused to take position under the Bourbon standard and accepted fairly and un? equivocally, what is known as the "New De Earture;" it wiil be seen that the fight between Ir. Watterson and Mr. Caldwell is a contest between a young man entrusted with a great re? sponsibility, who acts upon his own judgment, and the representative of a class of effete poli? ticians unhappily abundant in the South; who presume, by virtue of their years rather than their intelligence, to dictate to every young editor what he shall do and how he shall do it, and to lay down for every newspaper the code of rules upon which it shall be conducted. That Mr. Watterson has rebuked this presump? tuous feeling so sharply and successfully as he has should be a matter for universal rejoicing by that portion of the newspaper press which keeps up with and is a competent reflex of the sentiment of this age, and not of that which is past." ? A good way to make flat irons smooth is to rub them with clean lard and wipe dry. ? It is a great waste of raw material to put ten dollars' worth of beaver on ten cents' worth of brains. ? Living always in the world makes one as unfit for living out of it as always living out of. it does for living in it. ? A female lecturer says that the only decent thing about Adam was a rib, and that went to make something better. ? One pint of linseed oil, one wine glass of alcohol, well mixed together,.and applied with a linen rag, makes a good furniture polish. ? Fragments of human beings, blown into the air by steamboat explosions, are spoken of in Arkansas as "atmospheric phenomena." ? Every person complains of the badness of his memory, but none of their defective judg? ment. ? A condensed "philosophy of farming"? Feed your land before it is hungry; rest it be? fore it is weary; and weed it before it is foul. ? An Illinois editor says: "Trying to do business without advertising is like winking in the dark; you are keeping up a powerful wink? ing, but nobody else has any idea of it." ? A person was boasting that he was from a high family. "Yes," said a bystander, "I have seen some of the family so high that their feet would not touch the ground." ? An English preacher "converted" every male member of his congregation by simply expressing his belief that there would be twelve times as many women as men in heaven. ? Bruised peach leaves are said to be a cer? tain, easy and painless cure for warts; and al? so a sure remedy for healing punctures of nails, etc., in the foot, either of man or beast. ? Romantic Amelia (to her betrothed young doctor)?"Look, dear, such a beautiful sunset I The sky is all crimson." Unromantic Doctor ?"Ya-as?appears to have had a mustard plas? ter on." ? The Paducah Kenfnckian says: 'Taducab is, without doubt, the healthiest place of its size on the continent of America. A doctor here, without other resources than his practice, would be forced to steal, or starve to death." ? "Patty," a lady called to a little girl who was in the parlor, "did you tell your mother that I was here ?" "Yes,'m," answered Patty, demurely. "And what did she say?" "She said, '0, that dreadful woman again!' " ? When terrific flashes shoot athwart the lurid sky it's a sign of lightning, and when the contents of the cloud falls like water from a squeezed sponge it is a sign of rain. These signs never fail, even in dry weather. ? A clever man, who had run counter to the general opinions, pronounced himself strongly against a popular work. In all societies, he was answered that the public had come to a very different conclusion from this. "The pub? lic !" he rejoined, "how many fools must you collect together to form a public?" ? An eastern naturalist is studying out a plan to sharpen tho scent of the bed-bug. He thinks that if this could be accomplished so that the varmint would be enabled to smell himself, he'd become so disgusted with his odo? riferous carcass that he'd never think of associ? ating with anything but skunks and Limher ger cheese. ? A North Carolina colored juror was re? cently seen making rapid tracks for the Virgin? ia line, and upon being accosted by a gentle? man as, to whither he was going, confessed with dismay that he was fleeing the State, as he had just heard that the "jury was to be hung." This is related as a fact in tho Weldon (N. C.) Newt. ? The belles at Long Brauch this season are principally married ladies. At other fashiona plc resorts the same fact is noticed. A connois? seur explains this by saying that young un? married ladies are so much absorbed in the science of dress and self display as to be utter? ly insipid. He doesn't know whether cundu rango will cure cancer or not, but he is sangu? ine thai marriage is a sure antidote for this in? sipidity. ? Mr. D. n. Craig, late general agent of the New York Associatied Press, is said to have Serfected his new system of telegraphy, to the evelopmeut of which ho has boeu devoting his time and means for three years past, with re? sults that can hardly fail to effect an entire rev? olution in telegraphy, by reducing its cost to a rate very little above the present rates of post, age. It is claimed that by this new automatic system it is perfect practicable to transmit with absolute accuracy, over a single wire, more than sixty thousand words an hour?a speed more than sixty times greater than by any of the systems now in use. Telegrams which under the Morse system now costs several dollars will, it is said, bo reduced to a comparatively few cents; which, if true, will make its value inestU mable to the press, the mercantile community and the public at large.
