The sight of Beatrice, the touch of her band sent the blood rushing through his veins. Days, weeks, months, he had pictured this meet? ing, and now it had coma, to pass!. She. was ^fairer than ever-fairer than ever! The pure classical features seemed even more,perfect, the clear pale face more beautiful* the ,dark gray eyes more wonder? ful than cf old. And, as she had given that little cry of joy, something had leapt into her eyes which Carruthars had never before seen there, or never before seen so clearly and undisguisedly. The surmise of seeing him had swept away caution, and for the space of two seconds Frank was able to read the very secret of ber soul. No'wonder he held her hands and gazed silently in her face. What had he to say what could he say? The certainty that she loved him made his task no easier-the task of telling her that he knew her secret, or at least a great pajt of it-the task of asking her to confide in him and let him help her. Soheremained silent until she gently drew her hands from his. The light bad faded from Beatrice's face. She also, after a moment of forgetfulness, was criming hack to her own world and it? troubles.

Our life begins j to-day. 11 love you. Bend down and tell me you will be my "wife.'* j She forcibly drew her hands from his, cov? ered her eyes and sobbed. "You love me," he went on, passionately. "Is it for my sake y on will not do this thing? I Look at me-read in my eyes what my heart I desires-know that you have the pqwor of j making or marring a. man's life. Beatrice 1 My love, my only love, answer me!" ? ?nce more he tried to take her hands. She ! tore them away with a Cry bf anguish, and her cearful ey?s rested on his troubled, up? turned face. "Frank," she said, "you are killing me. Spare me and let me speak." He waited in anxious silence until her sobs died away and sustained speech was a possibility. "Frank, Frank!"' sho said "You have been misled. You have beard but half the truth. You love me, yet dare to think that if what you have heard is truo I would bo your wife. I cannot blame you for believ? ing. I have no right to blame. Sly actions have helped that belief. Yet ia believing it, you, Frank, have given me the sharpest pain of all that I have known." Carruthers bent his head and prayed she wcuM forgive him. "I have nothing to forgive. From whom did you thiuk I ihd-from what danger! : Frank, I fiVd from the maa who i* my hus? band-tho man who moro than five years ago tock advantage cf a girl's folly, married her and made her lifo a misery." Carruthers rose from his knees. His face was white as a shoot. Ho wa* the picture of despair. A legion of Mrs. Millers would not now have caused hope to throw up the tiniest shoot. Her husband! Tho room seemed to swim around him. When he recovered himself ho saw Beatrice with the tears falling down her cheeks. The sight was a bitter reprpach to him. How had he kept his vow? Instead of giving her comfort and aid ho was hue adding to her trouble. Moreover, a kceu senw of shame came home to him. Instead of joy he felt fresh misery when Beatrice's words told him that her secret was not one of such nature as he had been lcd to believe. That his first thought upon hearing the truth should have been one of sorrow showed him that he had reached a depth of selfishness and degradation which no love could excuse cr condone. He blushed for himself, and for the sake of his manhood strove until he' regained composure. There was a strange calm on-his taco - when; once more, he drew near Beatrice. " - 'Tell me all," he said, in a quiet voice. "No, don't fear for me." She glanced at him hjtcrairingly. /Tell me all; ? caa ces/' it, I cannerpyou." ... She'told- him all ;To?d him without self excuse, without even exaggerating her hus? band's sins ? against the world, and.. against her. She told him without claiming. mercy on account of what she had suffered; but there was.a pathos in* her voice,- an utter, hopelessness in her manner which told her listener more than .words.could have told. His: heart ached as he'thought of her; his blood boiled as he thought of the villain who had wrought this misery. He heard ber to the very end in silence. Throughout her tale she had not spoken of 'her husband byJ any name; tilt from the' first; Carruthers, guessed who1'he .was. As she finished speaking he turned his pale face to her.- "The man's . name is . Hervey,?' he said. - , - ..: .; ... : . /'Yes.; Do you know him?'' *iI have seen, him twice." As he spoke Carruthers involuntarily, clenched his hands. There'was a kind of savage satisfaction in thinking under what. conditions he last saw , the rogue.,?e. wished he had struck even, harder. He frowned, and his mouth grew hard and stern.- Beatrice saw the facial change.. ? - YPpyou blame me too.much to forgive nie*.. ."Frank?'' she asked,, anxiously.' He looked at her with eyes as soft and tender as a woman's. ''Blame you? Who am I to blame you? What haye I.-to forgive* .You have all my pity-ali my sympathy. Again I offer you such help as I ..can give-such help as a brother can- give a sister. You w?l take this from me, Beatrice?" She placed her hand ia his. . ''Yes, I will take it.. It. is. more than 1 deserve. Ah, me! why should"my trouble enter into your lifef? : > . His fingers tightened on hers. His eyes -sought hers. . "Beatrice," he said,. "I did hot live until I knew you.... You have a. right to claim all I can give. Yet there is "some? thing T must ask-something I must know. You have told me much-will-you tell me all?" ... ? - .:=?. .-: .. \ "I have toldyou alh". . "Hie, not alh; . Beatrice, life promises to be but a sorry affair for me. ' Let me bave such cold consolation" as it can give. Beatrice, let me hear you say with your own-lips that had things been otherwise you could have ,loved,me-Trwouid;ha7e teen my. wife." She met his eyes, bravel*...""Yes, Frank," she said softly. "I will say. that. I will say more. I.. Jove- you. now. Ah, Frank, re? proach me, blame mev when I tell you that although I ?knew : it-meant unhappiness for you it was a sweet moment to me wheu first I knew that.you loved me." After this-avowal there was silence for a minute. Then - Carruthers leaned forward. - "Beatrice, .my love," he said hoarsely, "kiss mo once. .: I only ask it once." She flushed to the roots:of her hair, yet she made no resistance. Carruthers drew her to him and for the firs", and, for all lie: knew, the last time their hps met He . took, she gave, the ene kiss. When it wa? over Carruthers released her from "his em? brace and the.two drew apart. Ker-.\ no doubt, Mr. Carruthers will sink -immensely in' public esteem.. irs acted as a hero is never supposed to act, or at least in fiction. He lostran cmpcrtjairity-'"Every one who has studied the nature of true love as depicted hy. the modern passionate writers and skilled analysis ts of the human iieort must feel that Mr. Carruthers should have then and there clasped Beatrice to bis heart and have sworn that love overruled every? thing. He should have followed that one modest kiss by thousands. He should have said, "What is the 'marriage tie when two souls are in such ecstatic communion as yours and mine?' He should have said, "There are other lands. Lands where HQ" one knows us, where lifegnay he a perp?tuai] .dream of love. Let us fly there andz-be-j In the mad whirl of his passiorfsuch as she, for appear an ce ^sake, urged ive "beeir^PSpl ?**ry, and, married hejlhouhl have borne her off, his forever ?n^ever! Ye?, he lost such an <}pporfcunity thcat his conduce must be apolc^ giied fori M Beatrica, my love," he said, hoarsely: . .He did none of these wild, passionate things simply because he was an English gentle? man, who wished the woman he loved to be his wife and the lawful mol her of his chil? dren. True, that his love had carried him away, sufficiently to make him walling to blot out an imaginary past. It was great enough to raise and restore the woman he loved, but it was not great enough, or shall we say too great, to dream of degrading her! - _ CHAPTER XXXL A WOMAN WITH A MISSION. Inspiration, as a rule, soars above the pet? tiness of detail, and of all inspiration that one whose wings are worked by religion flies the highest and freest from trammels of custom and caution. A man or a woman inspired with an ethical mission to hu? manity feels fully convinced that, provided the eyes are kept steadfastly on the glorious result, the brambles which have for ages choked the path leading to the great goal will in some mysterious manner get cleared out of the way; without faith of this kind inspiration sinks to the dull level of wisdom. Sarah Miller was a woman with a mission ; a mission, however, of a personal, not of a general nature. Her mission, as she read it, was to insure the worldly happiness of her beloved mistress, and her faith ia the in? spiration which prompted the task was such as to make her believe that she would suc? ceed. Everything in this woman's lire turned on her devotion to Beatrice. Her mind wa? like a dark, sunles ruin, in tip conter / of which springs ono pure white marble colurnn, and that column her love for her mistress. The wild words she onoe used when ti Frank Carruthers what she could i Beatrice's sake, if anything, felttshq truth. It is absurd to suppose that any"] i is entitled to such adoration fror ? creature. Very probably David 1 not deserve Jonathan's uuparalle^ tion any more than Beatrice dese of Mrs. Miller. Nevertheless, affection woro doled out into t he sci personal merit most of us would tremely ill in this world. Simpf like pure republicanism, and ml indisputably correct things, work| theory than in practice. Mrs. Hillel worship of Beatrice must bs toni causes other than the girl's mcrij her servant's gratitude. This thon was the emissary forth on behalf of Boatrico, this, of the flag of truce between her Hervey. A strange inter med? sessing some valuable qunlificatioi office, insomuch as 3I13 was devc own side, hated the foe, and, abo*} full of the belief that in some uni she would be . guided so as to ena'i bring the negotiation to a satisfacj She listened with apparent alj Beatrice's many and clear ins true her thoughts were in reality far1 this matter she helieved she was to act more the p^art of a principal of an agent Beatrice, who was] knowhow Hervey was to befoul rest satisfied with the assurance i Miliar would experience for i tho? us )W I tracing" mur yiroviueg^rna* .aeryey was still in-Lon ?on -her assurance was jristified, for as bis time on -ticket-of-loave bad not: yet expired, bis address could no doubt be obtained upon application ? in ih<y proper quarter, ,. . _ This waa about' the 'onfy detail' Sarsh bad as yet stepped to consider,n \She-had not yet thought how ber end was to be gained, whether by threats or by'entf?a?ie?. * She felt that all she had to do was to ms.et tho man face to face, and* thon she would find herself/ guided to act for the best. ' Beatrice,-who had some misgiving on the score of allowing har faithful servant to make so long a journey unprotected, had jcarcfuUy..look?d. up rou'.es.and trains/ She fancied that Sarah would travel in greater ease and safety if she went to England via Paris by the; great through express train which runs across Europe, from Constan? tinople to Paris, stopping only two or three times, in each conn foy which, it; traverses. So*Mrs. Jirffiler traveled in such' luxury. a? a railway tiiamcanotfer.''J :': - She-j-e ached London without any ..mishap. Here she Vent to a friend's, the one to whose care Beatrice's correspondence had been in? trusted- After a night's rest had dispelled the fatigue of the journey she bogan the first part of her mission-that of finding Maurice Hervey,.-:.... - ... . . - . ... jThe tas?c was a aimple one. She inquired >until . she ascertained where: the register of ticket-of-leave men resident in London wss kept; then, upon applying at the proper office and satisfying the authorities that she ' soughtrthe irian for no'evil purpose, the ad? dress was given her. Sha took a cab and drove- straight to ifc , Harvey, who had py effluxion of means been thrown from the lap of luxury on to the hard'floor of bare existence, was housed in what was little more than a garret. In? deed the money which Mr. Field paid him on behalf of Frank Carruthers was the one plank between him and starvation. He had parted with bia rings and ether valuables. Ail-that he ?^d call his own was a decent I suit of clothes. This he had dung to tena* j ciouslj. knowing that if it cooees to bag? ging, a fairly dressed man ha? a batt?t chance of awakening sympathy, tn*? ona who is in rags and tatters. The contrast between decent broadcloth, and empty pock? ets is so painful-that when asked one feels compelled to do something to ton? it down. He was sitting in- his cheerless, sordid room., smoking, his short .pipe and working "out schemes of vengeance and plunder much as he had. worked them out in .his secluded state in Portland prison. He was-'caxsing his own clumsiness and want of foresight, as indeed he cursed them at least a hundred times .a day. He .was unwashed and un? shorn, and his right arm, although nearly mended, was still in one of those shiny black slings. Altogether the man was in a condition of body and mind far from envi? able, TTO BB COXTHTUED ] What Our Editors Say. : We Wonder. ' . Colvmbbx Record.

We wonder what turn our esteemed contemporary will take next ? The tone of the paragraph is so unlike the News and Courier .tbatwe would almost be willing to. believe the article was print? ed by mistake. Does the News and Courier really mean that the people shall have a chance ? If the- editor is in earnest, then, truly .has a change come over the spirit of his dream; He has really raised-his voice .^for the peo? ple. Not those. "that: ^dwell up in the steeple,"but the common,toiling, hon? est, working people-who are worthy ! The people will say in return, Well done, good- bat; tardy 'servant I"'-::But what arc the brigadiers and those who have ;a "long;?pedigree of a hundred; years"going to say? We will wait in suspense for. aa. answer. , But, putting all levity:astde, the lan? guage in the passage quoted expresses our sentiments, and we have no doubt will meet with the hearty approval of all fair-minded persons. The war has been over now for more than twenty years,, and it is about time that thore who held position in the Confederate army should haye as much rights as anybody else-but no more. Certainly Southe Carolina has not been ungrate? ful, and if there is an ex-Cod federate of high rank within her borders who has not held one or more positions, let him speak. Our word for it, the people will rally under his standard-and eject him to office, provided he prove himself ca? pable and worthy. But the people of this State are not given to idolary, and should not be expected to indulge in hero-worship any more than they should be expected to bow down before the iron representation of,j.be palmetto in" the State House^rounds. vRv'tfTegaru to those of "Iprag pedigree,}; wo believe that they- nave also as much right to the suffrages of the people as anybody else, but/object to thc fossilized uotion that they have the divine' right to rule, :V?mply because they can trace back to ! a "noble ancestry." Unfortunately for j some of this class they are like the po? tato vine-the best part being under ground. Those who prove themselves .capable and worthy should be nomina? ted and dec ted :to~of5ce, not because of "noble ancestry." ^but to show that we are guided by the teachings of the American Constitution, which makes no difference betweeu lordly patrician and and lowly plebeian. Let us be careful that we select only those who are capa? ble and worthy, and there will be uo necessity for looking ap genealogical records to discover whether they are of high or low degree. The Blight of Standing Armies. A?re* and Courier. The enormous burdens imposed upon the people of Europe by gigantic stand lug armies and modern navies is indica d in thc estimate of Mr. Louis Apple? that thc total cost is nearly a thou d million dollars a year. Of this fully a fourth is credited to Rus while Franec^and England follow $168,000,00(1 and $I55,00QL?)0O? vely. Germany comes fourth ex^n6fture of only $n3,00X>; ti?^ot toe reasons for tue eoor cost ?o,UUU a gun, and DOW some ot-j them cost half a million dollars a gan. Two of the' Italian ironclads cost $4, 200,000 each, and S ve others wilL cost over $20,000,000: Is lt surprising that now and again the rolers of the European Goveruments should be. tempted to cast about for some way of diminishing the drain opon the resources of the people ? It most be remembered that the expenditure for these immense armies and navies Is un? productive. The money, in other words, which is ?arbecf by the. people; of. ihe different countries is consumed, io large measure, in "paying foridle,soldiers and sailors and theiroqaipmenfeThe-soldiers and sailors not ou ly ^produce nothing themselves, "but help, to coo some: what is produced by others. > The day is evi? dently approaching when there must he a reduction of armaments,-or there will be a wholesale emigration from Europe to the United States.

Belgium, just now,' is- wrestling /with the embarrassment produced by her at? tempt. Jo conj onction, with: France and the other countries of the Latin Union, to maintain-the circulation of both gold and silver at the ratio of ,15? to/1. In 1864 the Union was compelled by the' fall in marget price of silver bullion to restrict the coinage of an limited legal tender- silver to $24,000^000 a. year, and in 1877 to stop it altogether. Now, as a condition of renewing the -Union for another term bf years, France in? sists that Belgium shall agr?? to redeem all ber own silver coins ingold.; - Since, however, Belgicm^ha??465.? 000,000'francs of silver circulating in France,. Whi revere is only about 190 r 000,000' francs of French silver circula? ting in Belgium, the Belgian .Ministry hesitate tc comply with; this demand. France threatens, in ca.se.Belgiam final? ly refuses, to send home all the Beliriaji silver now circulating in Franpe.; ou? lUi would swamp, the currency of ''oj??gjn country like Belgium, with her J0 AJIQ 000 pf ppporation. and, JMU / PLno^. would bring on a/ financial crisis I tuere. To yield to the demand lot JEVance would, however, only postpone the evil day, and the^Belgiatr Ministry1 seem disposed ?t is pro! mately hav< and cease suspension of payments in 1862, and thereafter ousioess will proceed as usual.' The kind of currency that a country employs is much less important than is common? ly supposed. We" got on very well with greenbacks, and Belgium can get on equally well with silver. _ The'^ower of the Minor Post? masters. . N. Y.Sun.

This looks rath? er ridiculous to those rank and file poli? ticians who only foow that these'minor places yield very small salaries; often" amounting, to less, than $100'or even . $50 a.year. They think,- too, that inas? much as these crossroads offices haye .been monopolized ' by the Republicans for J abouta quarter of a century! they might oow afford to let the Democrats hate' a' taste of them, if only to let. ?hem enjoy ere they die. the novel ? .sensation. of thrusting their noses into the.

This. i*a superficial view of th? case, as - t he ?X p eris on both; sides^ well know: The Postmasters of .this class are ari important element in.the working mech? anism of the ^^ty_ jn^.powjer.

The Cause of Temperance. J'ee Dee Index. It is a matter of gratification to us whenever we see the causo of temper? ance succeeding iu any portion of the State and a matter of regret whenever we notice its failure, Along this line we were pleased to notice in the Herald of last week that the New Council of Laurens are enforcing the law in that town. From our observation of the werking of the local option law in this State, we Lave reached the op i u io a that the law has not failed where it has been enforced. The trouble in Winnsboro, Sumter, Orangeburg, and other towns where the local optiou law has failed has been because the law was paralyzed by unfriendly municipal government. The citizens of auy town make a grave mis? take to expect that opponents of the law will carry out its provisions simply because they are morn, officers ; they* must be in sympathy with the law. liad Marion made the mistake of other' towns io this particular her. fate would j have been similar to theirs: Bat thc view was taken that the nollieensc ele-: meat of the: town* was r^is'ponsibf? fori the adoptiotf of the t?^^i||^^p ie resp?nsth?e tor its enforcement^'' hence siucc the faw "was adop??? *r?ry'|; councils'' b?te been "elected,who' haye ' ron,. a?^jMarien?tft?^:^^ imple oCl*h^i?^.0*gf^ >rohibit Ji-ih&4eoip?i&?i^'s\^^i.ii^^M he :?t^.^iy^i^S0^^^^^^^ )Tecautioo.; a?d.#e^??e^^?i^^^^ ar distant nlt?:otb?toler?te% ?^SS^B^ie??^^^^? lUbe Stator ??r%?y^? s?e^^o^^M rey is prohibited, by \ttx^^^?sS^}l^M tt^lboro, ;Mant?.*^^?^?j?:2;;; Wm.
