"I eil.a'ut go !'' exclaiftied Cburlie
Worth, in rtspoore to a request made
by his etatelj moiber.
"Doo't be rude," said sh reproach
fully, yet calmly.
"Weil, mother. I dm't Vke tbe
task," eaid he, after a fdw momeat'ti
pause.
"Ah !" observed bhe, smiling com
placen'ly at Lira, "that is core po
lite. Tte task is not agreeable to
yon; granted. II a t ia thia wcrld we
are often obliged to do thia 8 we do
not Me to do, jet a cease of duty,
or honor, compels as t.i yield."
"Ytur Cousin Kare conieaiplatea
vifiitiog rn, aad you ere delegated to
meet ber at the station aud bring her
here."
"Most woffol task," sighed be, a$
he I-ft the presence tf Lid mo'her.
"Poor boy I be takes it bard," mur
mured tbe lady, 8mi!tajr; "bat tbe
die is C'lst; he ratist obey the mutual
decree of bis father and Mr. Pelorme,
or the bauds jam estae will slip from

"I will sicriflee mv eoi before 1
eball permit thia fair p rrion of the
two estates to co to those who, doubt
less, are jrreedi'y wailing for it. .No,"
faid ebr, cotnprefing her Up1, which
action expressed e much. "I am
resolved that it shall b-3 ours at all
hazards."
Cbaria, whei te left his mctber'n
prer-eape, gauuured atay aimlely,
bat deeply ibinkin. And toeuliht
en tbe reader a to tbe 8 ate of at

Tbe dreadtd Cjusin Kate was to

Charlie was no excrpti m to the

The nual bustle endued hurrying

iDoog-nt be. "fine certainly possess

JANUARY 8, 1879.
I Charlie came to the conclusion that
socb was tbe young lady's intention,
' and be was pleased with the idea
I for, after all, it would relieve birn of
J part cf tbe painful tark of reconcilicg
013 motner in tier great disappoint
. ment. Cousin Kate would take all
- a. 1. 1 . . .1
toe oteme, or tne greater part, udou
herself.
His mother summoned him to bave
tbe carriage brcagbt out, and re
quested bim to drive to tbe station in
time, so as not to cause his cousin
any snx'ety. Cbarlie smiled secretly
as bo obeyed, and be entered tbe car
nage with a light heart, bat a trifle
anxious on account of bis unsuspect
ing mother.
"However, 'twas not I that did it."
quoted be, "and she cannot charge
me with tbe deed, sore as her disap
poin'aient will be."
Us reached tbe station, the train
came in, and bis eyes eagerly scan
ned each joung lady pahtenger that
alighted, but greatly to bis surprise
be cou!d not see Cuasi.i Kate among
tbem.
"What does this mean ?" thought
be, when tbe station-master approach
ed Lim, accompanied by a closely
veiled lady.
"Cbarlie, yon were expecting some
one?"
"Yes," replied tbe young man,
trying to penetrate tbe Thick veil, for
surely this timid, petite creature could
not be bis couain ; sbe was at least
half a bei;d shorter.
"I am Tour couin, Kate Delorme,"
said the ladv faintly, witbont remov
ing Ler veil.
"What!'' exclaimed tbe yrcngman,
stepping birck in atobisbmct ; "you
my t'cu.-in Kate ?"
"Ys," replied tbe yoncg lady, as
she removed her veil. "It is bnt nat
ural that you should not remember
me; we were but cbildren when we
saw each other last."
A aw-ret young fare stood revealed
before hiut; earnest blue eyes, a pret
ty mou.b, tbat wore a grieved ex
pressioc a; bisevidenily chilling re-ct-ption
of ber.
Cbarlie stood completely spe echlets
for a rn. tnt ut ; he felt like t ne in a
dream. If :bis was bis Cou&in Kate,
wbo, then, v. 83 the other he bad met
a few days beck.
"Will you take me lo tbe carriage,
please ?"rbe said, ber eyes filling with
tears.
"Ib-gyour pnrdoo," said Char
lie, dentally curtinj? bimselMor an
unfeelicg brute. Tte tearful gaze
of this eweet little creature went to
bis soul.
Tenderly he led Ler to tbe car
riage, aud followed her into it. He
teaied himself beside ter in silence,
aud as they drove away she cov.
ered ber face again with her ve:!.
"How is your mother?" said sbe,
after a painful silence. .
Charlie, arouaed from most conflict
ing thoughts, replied that a ber was
well, then again relapsed into a pro
found study.
Two Cuui-ia Kates, thought be ; I
cannot understand it. Which is the
one wbo is destined to be my bride ?
This one, or tbe married one ?
'Cou-in,' said be abruptly, 'have
ycu a cousin of about your age, bear
ing your came ?'
Yes, a stc tiid cousin ;' was tbe re
ply 'But only tbe Christian name,'
a djd ste ; ber surname is Ccrbin.'
A euppress-ed groan escoped tbe
young man.
'Are you ill ?' asked sbe'anxiously,
as sbe turned toward him.
'A terrible headache,' replied he.
'I am sorry,' was tbe sympathetic
response.
What a dear little soul she is,
thought tbo young man. ' I wonder
bow this will end.
His thoughts were again with the
tti.er Cousin Kate.
What conld ber object bave been,
wondered be, to come here and palm
beiself effas my cousin, Kate De
lorme ? Can this apparently inno
cent creature bave been io tbe plot ?
I c-rnout believe it Yet, how else
could the trick have been so success
fully carried out ?
Tbey reached the house in silence,
and wben Mrs. Worth welcomed the
i rphan in tbe hali tb? lady was sur
prised to i-ee the vouog girl cling to
ber and fallupon ber bosom with a,
paseiohate outburst of tears.
TLis was caused by a revulsion, of
feelings tbe warm, motherly greet
ing was so di Jerent to. tbe chilling re
cep ion accorded her by her courin.
Mrs Worth cast a reproachful
glance at ber Boa.. She doubtless
suspected tbjt be had wound
ed t,he girV feelings in some manner,
and she meant to csM biaj a an ac
count, at the eatiieat opportunity.
fcbe (eg be young girl into tbe par
lor and spoke such eootbing words
tbat chased away her tears and
brought smiles in their place. 'The
wretch, to wound bo sweet a creat
ure,' thought the lady,
While Mjs Moruie was shown to
ber room by one of tbe servants,
Mrs. Worth summoned her son, and
tbe moment fee entered ber presence
she said :
'What have you done to your
coti-in to wound ber?'
,1, mother?' eXcUirred be with,
surprise. 'I bope you co not accuse
me of such an ungentlaan'; act"
'Something ha; occurred, that U
certain,', said, t&e lady ; ' ta poor
igri was almost bysteilcal when she
arrived,
'Bat why hold me acouu table,'
returned ber eon. 'Did she accuse
me of rudeness?'
2o,' was the sharo reply ; 'even
bad you been, she isAoo much of a
ladj aliuaVto if
'X w yoc are angry with use,
mother,' Baid Charlie, flauly.
'I an certainly not pleased,' was
her reminder, 'for kr owirg bow dis
tasteful ibis vit.it ia to you, I greatly
fear tbat ysu have, by word or ac
tion, hurt her feelidga. Now tell me
truly, my son, did you meet ber at
the elation in a cordial manner?' '
A downright untruth he could sot
utter, and he was even loath to pre
varicte or uae a harmless deception.
While bo bestated in his reply bis
face flushed deeply. He was think
ing of tbe other Cousin Kate wbom
he had expected to meet
"Speak, my son," spoke his moth
er, in a severe tone, for it pained her
to think that be, whom she had nev
er nowa to stoop to deception, was
about to resort to tbat in order to
screen himself.
TMVotrt
He hesitated no longer. He told
her all. His meeting with another
nonsirt Kate, wbom be beleived t'J be
Miss Delorme.
He confessed ever? thing save Lis
secret love for a certain Lily Gray,
"And wben you meet a lady, in
stead of a bold impjster. your disap
pointment was great that you for
got the respect din? to a lady, and
you behaved rudely," said tbe irate
lady, sarcastically.
"Mother," cried the penitent young
roan, "I fear you are right ; but be
lieve me it was net studied impolite
ness I was si taken by surprise,
that I unthinkingly neglected cousin
Kate for a time. I bope sbe will for
give me."
If she doe3 it is more than you
d&erve," was the disdainful rejoin
der. Then she asked:
"Had he any idea who the creat
ure was f
I know no more about her than
what, 1 bave told you," replied be
but I bave bra studying over tte
ina-iter since, and strongly suspect
that it waa a plot concocted by those
two cousins, who, in tbe event cf my
refusing to obey tbe behest of my
father, would be gamers tbereDy."
"That is jost what 1 brieve," re
turned his mother. "They bear the
same names as you and your cousin
with the exception the girl is cahed
Kaie Corbin. bnt the yonng man s
name is Cnarlea Worth ?"
"Does be also resemble me ?"' ask
ed Charlie, as a Btranto suspicion
began to gather in bis mind.
"I can't tell, replied his motner
"I bave not seen him since be was a
mere boy ; but te ia cf the same com
plexion." 'Mother 1 thiuk I have solfed tbe
mystery."
"What mystery V
My meeting with this ether coa3
in," said he.
Well, let us hear it.'
'You remember, I said I was t
tne station when tde train cair.e in.
Tee lady, doubtless, exp?cted to see
ber nouriu there to receive ber, but
not seeing him she mentioned bis
name, and I was pointed out as thai
person.
'She greeted we wiih 'I am yonr
cousin Kate,' and I naturally scp
posed that the was Mit8 Delorme,
especially when sbe mentioned hav
ing written a letter, ij which sbe an
nounced Lr ioteniim cf coming a
day earlier '
'That may be tie correct version
of tbe aff-iir,' observed Mrs. Wright ;
'but still I am not perfectly satis
fied.' But Charlie wa3 right, for shortly
after a letter was handed to bim. n
opened h and found that K came
from Mrs Kite Hardy, ve.e, Corbia.
Shetxplaiued everything that was
teedt d. Ste snppoced Cbarlie to be
Cbarlea-Worth, to whom sbe had
t en engaged to be tatrried, with
tbe eager approval of his oictLer ;
but the young man loved another la
dy, and Kate, not caring to marry a
man whom sbe bad not seen for sev
en years, and wbo at twenty-three,
was disinclined to fulfill tbe promise
made to a fond mutter, resolv
ed to release bim from the engage
ment. Sbe met and loved a gentleman
named Hardy and became bis wife.
Tbi3 act left Charles Worth free to
wed his lean's choice, Miss Rose
Wilson.
Cbarlie read tbe letter to his moth
er, and that lady did not tbe doubt
statements of Mrs. Hardy. She felt
greatly relieved to think that there
bad been no attempt at conspiracy.
Af.er a few days Cbarlie and his
cuuain became friendly and quite so
ciable. Tbe mjre he saw of ber the
belter he liked ber. But bis heart
clung to Lillie, nevertheless.
But alas! this blissful dream was
rudely dispelled one day io the shape
of a brief note from Miss Lillie. It
was worded thus:
"Mr. Charlie Worth shall re
turn to my home iq the South at once,
and wbeo yoa read this 1 shall be on
my journey. T,banks for tbe pleas
ure you bave given me by your po
lite attentions during my sojourn here.
Ah, bliss too briel!' tc. I Shite vou
were not iu. earnes ; if so, I am
for I was only niruog to Kill Time.
I am going to meet my affianced. Ye
shall be married io a rnoath from to
day. Aurevir? Vvespectfuliy,
LiiTLK Gay."
Charlie's anger was great wben he
finished reading this precious epistle;
wounded vanity, not wounded love
waa what pained bim, and ia tbe so
ciety of bis sweet little cousin he soon
forgot tbe heartless Lillie.
Mrs. Worth looked on smilicjly as
she watched tbe growing intimacy
between tbe young cousins, aad her
fears wr alltroue. She no longer
doubted tbe result, tor sbe plainly
saw that her son was cot proof
against the wiuLiag ways of Miss
Delorme, who, though cot aware of
the fact herself, fasciiated all who
approached ber by her artle&s. iua,n

Laadville, Lake county, Col., is
tbe highest, newest, and, fir its siz,
tbe noisiest city oa the continent It
is what the miners call a rattling
camp. It is closo op to the snowy
range, overlooking California Golcb,
the ceue of the gold-boutin? furore
of I860. At an altitude of 9,000 feet,
or to put it mire f trcibly, nearly two
miles higher than New York, it may
be considered as well op in tbo world.
There is no place like it in tbe whole
Ilocty Mountains. It is a larger
city than Deadfood on tbs north or
Silverton or Lake City on tbe south.
The twenty-year-old towns cf Black
Hawk, Central, aud Georgetown, are
uotbing to it ia population, trade,
fast money-making, fast everything
Where Leadville noT stands was a
year ago almost a howling wilder
ness. There were a few prospectors
basying themselves with turning up
rocks here and there, but there was
hardly what could be called a camp.
No town bad been staked out It
as not until last spring that tbe
place was organized and named.
From that time until now people
have ponred in from all t're surround
ing country, from tbe far Last and
from tbe Pacific States and Territor
ies, ontil there is a bustling city of
8 000 inhabitants. It bis a Mayor,
Councils, police and tire departments,
churches, schools, a telegraph line,
daily mails, money-order post-ofDce,
two newspapers, three banks, and
hundreds of stores, shops, saloon
and other featnres of a fiat city.
The streets have a sort tf straggling
regularity. Tbe principal tboroogh
fures are numed Chestnut, Pine,
State and Harrison avenues. AI
most everything is cheaply built, the
stores which carry the largest stocks
being mere cabins. There, are few
story-find a half and two story build
ings. Lumber is in great demand,
aiid the three or f jtir saw-mills in the
vicinity are not adequate to supply
the need. Lately business men have
begun to plan larger aad better
etructures, brickyards have been
started, and s me fine blocks sre nn
dr way. The prevailing Spirit is
that of rampant speculaii-.o. People
Make out claims, tear i:p tbe lucks a
little, sometimes "salt" them, get
some plausible do-notLi 'g to tsik up

Everything partakes of the nature if
a grand debauch. Men seem to be

When we left Philadelphia in the

yet proudly as a thronged sovereiga,

ber keen gray eyes, and a purpose
marked ia each line of ber handsome

Mention was mads la this corres
pondence some tims ago of the ex
periments taat are Doing maas oy
Professor Loom!, of thU city, ia tba
mountains ot West Tirginis, ta de
monstrate his aerial telegraphy. lie
claims, it will bo remembered, that
be can telegraph from oo part of tho
country or world to another without
the use of connecting wires, except
those that he needs to reach up to s
certain altitude where bis experi
ments bave shown tb it there is at all
times a natural current of electric
ity. His experiments ars conducted
from high hills or mountains, though
he has telegraphed as tar as eleven
miles by having kites raised at each
end cf that distance, fl ring tbem with
a Sue c-rpper wire instead cf stricg.
Tbe instant t bey reached tbe same
exact al.itu iet, or got into tbe same
current, tele-graphic communication
by aid cf ati instrument similar to the
Morse instrument ould be carried oa
as perfectly as it the two kites were
cj&uected by wires. The lowering
of one kite would, however, break cif
the com Jiuaica'.ioa Lu mediately.
Tnis demons:ratd to ihw profussor
tbat bis wires should be sta.ionary
to keep up a constant commuuica
lioo. Accordingly be built a thd of a
telescopic tower at tbe top of two
high hill tops about tenty miles dis
tant, and from them put up a ate-l
rod by wnich a certain atrial current
ci electricity was reacnea. t jc
months at a time be baa been able to
telegraph from one tower to another.
A heavy storm disarranges tbe con
nection, but it can bo readily restored
after tbe storm has pi3sed. In tbis
respect, however, it is not more un
reliable than the ordinary telegraph
connections by wire, which are broken
up by many Btorms.
A letter was received from Prof.
Loomis, s-ime days since, by Cel. D.
C. Furucy, cf the Sunday Chronicle,
in which Le said tbat recently he bad
met wi;.h the mosi remarkable suc
cess in bis experiments, and had de
al mstrated by repeated tests that the
telephone could be used as easily as
tbe -M'rsn instrument, and tbat of
late bo bad d me all cf his talking to
bis assistant twenty miles away from
bim by tbe telephoce, the connection
being .Trial only.
He adJed that be bad been in cor
respondence with Edison fvr a long
time, and tbat be Lad received many
valuable hints from bim, and tbat
Edison had been fully convinced for
a long time that serial telegraphy was
practicable, and had so expressed
himself to him frequently. Edison
also it'tiks tbat bis icrophone can ba
worked by the same means. It will
be readily seen tbat if - telegraphing
can be carried on withont wires, ac
cording to the idea of Prof. Loomis,
thai the expense of tbe same will be
reduced to almost nothing In com
parison to tbe cost of builJing and
keeping telegraphic lines in order un
der tbe presen system.

Some time ago, there lived a gen
tleman cf indolent habits in Sussex,
who made it a business in tbe winter
season to visit bis friends extensively.
After wearing out bis welcome in the
immediate vicinity last winter he
thought be would visit an old Qua
ker friend, some' 20 miles distant,
wbo hd been an old school-fellow of
his. Oa bis arrival ha was cordially
received by tbe Quaker, he thinking
bis visitor bad taken much pains to
come so far to see him. He treated
bis friend with great attention and
politeness for several days, and, as
be did not see any signs of bis leav
ing, be became ooeasy, but be bvre
it with patience till the morning of
tbe eighth day, when he said to
bim :
"My friend, I'm afraid tbee will
never visit me again."
"Ob, yes, I shall," said the visitor,
"I have erj yed my visit very macb;
I shall eertaialy come again."
"Nay, said tbe Quaker, "I think
tbe shall never visit, me again."
"What makes yon think I will
never ecme again?"
"If thee does never leave," said
the Quaker, how canst thee com
again V

this was accorded tbroogh the Secra
