How She Lost Her Lover.
DY M.VHY HERD CROWELL.
A cherry, genial-looking old pentlo
man, with liia keen blue eyes critically
examining Julia Garnet's photograph ;
and Ralph Peurhyn standing by, with
eager anxiety mingled with proud
delight) depicted on his young, fine
face. „
Direetly old Mr-Pourliyn looked up
the pretty face on tho paper, and
;avc it to Ralph, but not with tho air
Italpli had expected. Ho took it, disap
pointedly.
"I'm afraid you don't admire Julia,
grandpa ? Every oneconsiderslier very
beautiful.
"She Is a3 beautiful a girl as I ever
saw ; her month is perfect, her eyes be
witching."
Ralph brightened a little.
"But then, if tbaUsyourcandidopln
ion, why did I have to ask you? Come
grhndpa, ! congratulate me on my lovely
friend, Won't you?"
Italpli looked at the old gentleman
with such wistful pleading in his eyes,
that Mr. Peurhy n thought it little won
der that Julia Garnet, or any other
girl, could withstand their g!
"Aro you not^ngaged ? A
)y friends?" '
Mr. Peurhyn asked itwith such poin
ted earnestness, that Ralph felt almost
provoked.
"The very best of friends, and it wi|l
bo Juila's fault if wc are not betrothed
lovers very shortly. Why should wo
not. bo ? I love her ; I think Blio cares a
grtat deal of tnc."
Mr. I'euthyn made no answer for a
moment, the wliilo Ralph's bright, ea
ger, yet somewhat impatient eyes, wero
closely regarding, him.
"If you love her, and slio loves you,
and you are convinced she will make a
d wife—Ralph, dear boy, I am the
laat man to say ay, yes or no. But arc
yon convinced ?"
Ralph blushed eagerly.
"If a year's study company has not
f iven me an insight into her character
don't know what will."
"It ought to, truly," Mr. Peurhyn.re
turned, slowly. Then ho reached out
his band again for the photograph.
It was a beautiful face—beautiful be
yond even an cnemy'adispute. A slight
ly oval face, with large, roguishly ten
der eyes, dark and clear; with nn arch
dimple in one check, and a small,smil
ing mouth whose lips made a perfect
Cupid's bow; a fair, open brow, with
hair brushed high and loose over a
Pompadour Toll—a particularly trying
test to any fane, and exquisitely be
coming to Julia Garnet—with a thick,
half curled mass of hair floating over
dalntly-turned shoulders.
"Yes slio is very 'fair to Bee;' but —
but, Ralph there is something in her
position that repels me."
"Repels you ?" Ralph echoed, indig
nantly/ "Why her position is the very
poetry of grace I There's not another
girl in New Y ork who would look well
in such a pose."
"Just so," returned Mr. Peurhyn,
quietly, "and perhaps that is why I do
not admire the coquettish way she hold s
her head—so off and Inclined toward
her shoulders ; and the style in which
sho has arranged her hands—clasped so
languishly.and leaning slightly through
what seems a window, Ralph, it strikes
me as being just a little—little loud. "
"It is a shame, grandpa, to discuss
Julia so crueUy. She sent her card to
you, with her love, and here you criti
cise her HOShamafilUy-celling it 'loud,'
says it 'repels' you, when she only en

"I am sorry Julia has made such a
solemn Impression. I wouldn't liavo
her know it, for the world."
He spoke ungraciously, and went out
of tho room, with just enough vim to
slam the door.

The Madison avenue stage wag nearly
comfortably filled, and grandpa
hyn, seeing a young lady signaling
the driver from the sidewalk in front
of Stewart's, was about to make room
on his aide of the stage, when a young
man arose to leave, thereby making
ample room for the^one on the opposite
aidé. '
She was a stylish, handsome girl,
who would attract attention anywhere.
In common with every other
there were no ladies in the stage—Mr.
Peurhyn looked at her, gave a little
involuntary start when he recognized
Julia Garnet.
Hor picture was very like her—only
that she was all color animation ; vivid
scarlet lips, glowing cheeks, and spark
ling eyes, whose beauties were en
hanced to a startling degree by tho veil
of white blonds, dotted with black,
that she wore.
Her attire was elegant—black silk,
richly trimmed ; lace bonnet on the
back of her hair, that was jauntly
beooming; pearly kids, with wide
chain bracelets on iter wrists ; heavy
gold ear rings, brooch, chain, and
watch, i
8ho certainly was dressed fit for a
duchess' reception ; she looked splen
didly well, and she knew it. Grandpa
Peurhyn saw that in every move of
body, every glance of her eyes,
as she coolly surveyed the gentlemen
in the stage, ns she gracefully handed
her ten cent stamp to a young dandy,
who, Very kindly, readied it up for
her.

She was the ccntro of attraction ;
and Mr. Peurhyn watched her as alia
aired her little graces for tho benefit
of the passengers—looking over a tiny
memorandum-book, consulting her
watch, setting her tie anew, straight
ening her skirts, and beaming her
merry and pretty eyes on one and
another. .
Mr. Puerhyn began to grow disgus
ted. Did Rulpb love this girl—this
ptetty, graceful, conspicuous girl, who
so plainly gloried in her attractiveness
and courted admiration therefor ? But
she was only a chit of a girl—only
seventeen, Ralph had said ; slio was
pnly a little thoughtless, a trifle vain
—pretty girls usually are ; aud Mr.
Puerhyn began to feel himself growing
charilablo under hor win-some beauty,
and with the remembrance of how liis
grandson loved her.
growing charitably disposed,
Gurnet was sitting in paDsivc
quietude now, looking out of the win
dow, when tho dressed-to-death young
fellow who bad handed her fare pulled
the check-strap and alighted with an
admiring glance at Miss Julia which
she did not sec, but that Mr. Puerhyn
did.
He was

Outside, tlio young man took Ms
handkerchief from bis pocket, flour
ished it very gracefully (?) and raised
Ids bat to Julia, as the stage lumbered
on.
And Julia smiled, bowed, raised
her tiny white cambric to lier nose a
second, aud the stage divided them
forever.
• - Mr, Puerhyn could have shaven her;
his handsome face reddened for Ralph's
sake, and lie bit his wVito moustache
furiously.
What would Ralph say if he knew it?
high-toned Ralph, who resented even
tho casual remark that Miss Julia's
picture looked "loud ?" And Mr.
?eurhyn wondered if this flirting, in
a Madison-avenno stage, was not Infi
nitely more unworthy her that the
most absurd pose a photographer might
have suggested ? But—he knew hl9
grandson so well—Ralph would believe
nothing of Julia Garnet than he did not
; so there was nothing tobe gained
by telling him of his lady friend's mis
hap.
And, looking at, scarcely seeing, so
absorbed in his thoughts was he, at
Julia's face, old Mr. Peurhyn—"hand
Major Peurhyn" the ladies had
called him only a year back, when he
held a military position—this fine
looking, noble headed gentlemau un*
consciously gave a little short cough,
and simultaneously drew forth his large
snow-white handkerchief, for perfectly
legitimate use.
To his profound astonishment, Julia
darted him a glimpse of merry meaning;
she echoed his cough and shook her loco
bordered handkerchief lightly and raised
ittohcrlip8.
Mr. Peurhyn was almost petrified.—
Could'nt tho venerable husband of a six
ty-year-old wife blow his usual organ
without being challenged by his grand
son's lady friend ? . .
Hadn't an aged married man the privi
lege of relieving a tickle in his throat
without being mocked by a pretty girl ?
And while he was deciding, Miss Julia,
with an arch, coquettish bow, arose, and
left tho stage.
Nilsson was playing "Mignon," and
Mr. Peurhyn and his daughter, and Ralph
entered.
v "I suppose Julia is hore somewhere;
she was to come with lier brother, she
said. If I see her, I will point her out."
Ralph devoted himself very assidious
ly to the task of findind Julia's pretty
faco for his aunt's and grandfather s ben
efit, while Mr. Peurhyn smiled grimly
and attended to Nilsson.
It was between the acts, and Ralph,
suddenly rapped Mr. Peurhyn's knee,
and touched lus aunt's fan.
"There sho is, aunt Elise! In the third
row of seats ahead of us, between us and
the aisle! Grandpa—there, isn't she beau
tiful P"
Ralph's faco was radiant with pridd as
ho looked at Julia—who couldn't
although Mr. Peurhyn was in full view—
rarely beautiful in her opera bonet, her
lemon kids, her white lace shawl.
Mr. Peurhyn regarded ber carelessly.
"Certainly a pretty gfrl—she flirted
with mo yesterday in tliestagoup town.
"Granaba!"

"Harm i no decent girl-let alone a la

The idea! Grandpa Peurhyn ! I didn't
think you'd stoop to such' vile slander."
Aunt Elise pressed Ralph's arm warn
ingly. and a fire flaw to. the old gentle
men's keen eyes.
"loan forgive vou, boy, since there's so
much at stake, m prove her "decency"
on this especial point, and then—"
He looked at Julia; Ralph watched her
with an agony that he could not define
as triumph or defeat, ho watchedher,
with gleaming eyes, as she caught his
grandfather's glance, and then he saw
her flush, smile, raise her little handker
chief to her lips a second, th
answer to Mr. Peurhyn's nod.
Poor Ralph 1 he had seen it with his
own eyes—the girl he loved flirting open
ly in the Academy with the white-haired
man who had given himself an ally in
Ralph's cause.
He didn't say much more that night.—
He listened to Nilsson, mechanically; ho
walked to their carriage just as dazedly,
and, on tho sidewalk, came face to face
with Julia Hornet, laughing/ chatting
gayly to a lady.
Ralph caught one sentence.
"He is tho handsomest, most stylish
gentleman you ever saw, NeH !JI do adore
white mus tachea, and he was splendid !"
Perhaps a familiar snirit seizod him
1 hat minute; certainly ne felt verydis
gustod os ho raised his hat, and laid bin
hand on his grandfather's arm.
"Good evening, Miss Garnet, My grand
father, Miss Garnet."
SJulia met Mr. Vcurliyn's reproving
eyes; sho saw Ralph's cold, indifferent
face; she faltered out como inarticul it >
words, her face all atiuah, and then Ralph
bowed again, and they drifted away with
the surging crowd^never to meet again
os they had parted.

prises of all sorts. One feature which
seems to attract peculiar attention at
present is tho manifest desire of English
capitalists to buy large tract, of Ameri
can land. One oom
yearajn purchased 2flO,QÖO acres in Kan
sas. and are now disposing of it tb emi
grants of tlieir own choice, and many
substantial families have already gone
forth to settle. Last week $50,000 stei -
ling was paid for an immenBo expanse of
land in Oregon, to bo devoted to tho
raising of shoep, and yosterd&y I heard
of a m eat sale of 200,000 acres in Colora
do. The theory seems to lie that aa these
vast tracts can be purchased at vary '
rates they are safer to hold than
stocks of many of the railroads whtch
have promised so much and come to so
little. Within the laat few months or
ganisations have been formed for the
Bale of lands in tho old States of New
Jorsey.Pennsylvania,Delaware and Mary -
loud, and tho emigrant is told with truth
tliat by paying a littlo moro he can pro
cure a homestead within a few hours of
New York or Philadelphia, where he wiU
bo mueli more comfortable than if he

General Bkaurioard on tee «lec

ter to a friend in New York, says : ''Be
fore answering your letter allow me to
congratulate you, and through you tho
great State of New York, for the gallant
manner in which you have come to the
rescue of tho republican institutions, for
fate of whien I was camly apprehen
sive. As to old Massachusetts, wo aie
astonished and delighted beyond expres
sion at her grand rally to the cause of
freedom. Her people have shown them
selves worthy descendants of the heroes
of the "tea party" and of Hunker Hill.
May they never flag in their determina
tion to rid the country ef unworthy public
servants. It will be a blessing to the
North, as well as to the South, that our
evils have at last been understood.
With good government, the South, re
viving as a great producing and consum
ing country, will revive also tho be
numbed industry and trade of the North.
Let us have true peoco, and with it pros
