Phil and I were schoolmates in former
years, and-friends later in life. Miss Diana
Davenport was an acknowledged ween In
society when I first knew her, and it did not
take long to discover that Phil loved her,
and I had already looked upon Phil as a
married man, when one night he burst into
the room, flung his hat in one corner. 11,13,
cane in. another, and sinking into a chair.
- covered his face with his hands and gave
vent to a grain of half-suppressed agony,
“Why, Phil,” I said, hastening. over to
him, “are you hurt ? Has any scoldent oc-
curred 1”
I looked at him from head to foot,half ex-
pecting to see the blood flow from a recent
wound. _
“ There are no limbs broken, Hal ,” he said
looking up with a face so distorted and pale
I scarcely knew it for his own ; " only the
heart, Hal. I have got my death blow. Di-
ana belongs to another 1"
" Married ?" I gasped.
“Just the same. She’d been engaged to a
colonel in the army for two years. They
are to be married this fall.” .
“ Why, .what a monstrous”~—but Phil put
his hand on my arm.
“ Don't, Hal,” he said. pleadingly, “1 can’t
bear it; besides, I think she scarcely knew
the danger we were in till it was too late. I
believe she loves me, Hal, as I love her, as I
shall love her, to the last.moment of my
life.”
“ Can nothing he done?" I asked.
“ Nothing.” he replied, with an accent of
despair. “Only let us hasten our plans for
travel. I beg of you, Hal, pttt as many
miles between her and me as you can.”
A fortnight afterward we were upon the
ocean. - _
One night as we set outside the tents in
Africa, whither we had gone with a hunting
party on a tour. .Phil and I smoked long
and contemplatively.
He held an old newspaper to his eyes for
a moment, then dropped it and started to
his feet, looking about him as if bewildered
" What is it Phil ‘2” I cried rushing for my
rifle—“ a lion ? a serpent?"
He sank back upon the smooth hit of al-
kali that served him for a seat, picked up» the
newspaper again, and read in a trembling
voice,'that Colonel John Talbot had been
killed on the American plains by the Indi-
ans.
“ That’s rather rough for Talbot,” I re-
marked ; “ bttt I can’t exactly see how it can
afi‘ect us.” '
“ Colonel John Talbot," repeated Phil, in
an impressive whisper, “ is the man to
whom Diana was engaged.” »
“A widow i” I mttrmttred, with the ac-
cent of a Weller.
I then looked at the date of the newspa-
per, and found it had been printed only a
fortnight after we left the old collegiate
town..
“ I might, after all, bar
I remarked. -
Nothing now would do but to take up the
thread of life of Philip where it was so rude-
ly snapped asunder.
“All thesc‘months of travel, Hal," he
said, with the peculiar selfishness of a lover,
“have been merely existence for me, not-
life. Let me go back, my friend, to the air I
can breathe, the air that is shared by Di-
ana. ’
Phil was obliged to submit to destiny.
Life was dearer. to him than it had been of
late, and he was not prepared to strike oil
into the wilderness alone. I ticed for the
first time that he was pruden in the hunt
on the following day, and that he began to
make virtue of patience. For my part, 1
was sorry for Phil, but nevertheless, the
paehyderms had a wonderful fascination
about them.
After the pachyderms came. lions, which
were not quite so interesting for various rea-
sons. In the first place. 1 had seen so many
lions in meuagei'ies and shows of all kinds
——:llltl a lion isn‘t llzill‘ so nice in some posi-
tions as in a cage. For instance, suppose
you are fool enough lojoiti a party of triad-
men wlto track these animals to a defile iii
The tiiottntuiiis. and attack them, as you say,
with their foot upon their native heath, and
got just a little simple top with one_of their
claws that breaks your collar-bone, lays
open your cheek, pulls down the skin of
your forehead over your eyes, and smashes
your right arm in two places. It scents to
“11‘. natural to pret‘et‘ looking at them from
behind a good stout railing, with a demoral-
i'l. ition of captivity on their side.
At all events, poor Phil had to nurse me
for many a long month after that lion hunt,
and it was well into the following year when
we at last found ourselves on an Atlantic
steamer, bound for home.
Phil and I were old travelers by this time,
and the wild freshness of enthusiasm that
seized upon some of our fellow voyagers as
they neared their native shores, was with
us toned down to a calm conviction that
America was the only country in the --world
worth the rational affection of an experienc-
ed and cultivated mind.
Ihad been looking through the glass 0.
while, and was about handing it over to a
fellow-passenger, who had eyed me with a
devouring envy the while, when a big
steamer outward bonnd,glided closely by
our side, and I could see the faces of the
party nearest me.
One last, fleeting glance of mine contain-
ed a revelation. I glued my eyes to the
glass again. Right opposite me there shone
two glowing orbs, wonderfully familiar.
The face was one not forgotten, the form
fall, shapely, withepeculiar serpentine grace
about it.
“ Phil,” 1 said putting the glass in his
hand, “ look Over there at that group of la-
dies.” ‘ .
He took it languidly,but having looked,
a quick, eager gasp escaped him, he dropped
the glass into the hands of our envious tel-
low passenger, and seized my arm with a
sudden frenzy.
" She is going out,” he said.
“ While we, alas, are going in.” I added.
“ But this is monstrous," he cried in dis-
"We can’t'go in, we must follow
e been first man ,"
her.”
Here again was the absurdity of a foolish
passion. It would have been useless to re-
late to the captain that my friend, seeing a
person that he was interested in on the pass-
ing steamer, would like to join her. It
was impossible to throw a plank across the
ocean; besides, she was already out of sight,
and Phil rushed below like a madman. All
we could do was to engage passage for the
orher side again,and sail as soon as possi-
b c.
I confesslit began to wear the aspect of a
chase to me, and appealed to my taste for
hunting. Then, I suppose, beauty such as
hers, seen through I. glass, had an effect of
neurones upon me. At all events, I began
to take a keen interest in the passion of my
friend. When we reached the other side
all trace of the fair fugitive was lost. All
we could do was to travel about the conti-
neat in the hope of encountering her or
hearing about her party. One fins autumn
morning we lingered on the heights of a
mountain resort in Saxony. We leaned
over the railing that encloses the plateau on
the top of the mountain, and looked admir-
iugly down on the stretch of country be-
neath. Upon the river libs, that looked to
our American eyes‘like a little trout stream,
we saw one of those little Dutch steamers
that continually paddle up and down, and
suddenly the view became intensely inter-
esting. I looked through the glass again ;
yes, there she was, without a doubt, more
raceful and enchanting than-ever,upon the
oak of that lumbering little to , fathoms
below us. I called to Phil. a bent, he
looked, and stretching over with a yearning
unsteady movement he lost his balance and
fell! Fell down the sheer edge of the rock,
grasping as he went at every 11111 of lichen
and grass, at every shrub that rapidly shot
out of his reach. I watched him with ago-
nizing suspense, when suddenly his coat
caught upon the jagged walls of the precl-
pice and held him suspended over the chasm
beneath. He was partly supported by a
frail ledge beneath him; and to this bit. of
rock I was determined to descend if in the
endeavor Ilost my life. There was no other
way of saving Phil—none whatever; it
must be done immediately; and he who has
risked his life in mad encounters with sav-
age beasts can well afford to do so in behalf
of the friend of his soul. Around me fioek-
ed a crowd of sturdy Germans, anxious to
help me in every possible way. A stout
rope was brought, fastened firmly about my
waist, and I was lowered, a hair-breadth at
s time, by my honest friends above. At last
my foot trembled upon the thin piece of
slate upon which Phil rested. Grasping the
rope with one hand,1 disengaged his uncon-
scious form from its perilous resting place,
slipped slowly into the posrtton be had
taken, and binding the rope about my poor
Phil, I had the joy to see him finally lifted
into the arms of my comrades above.
Loud shouts arose from the plateau and
were echoed from the little steamer below.
from the deck of which my perilous under.
takin‘ had been watched with intense inter-
est. Vith difilculty I succeeded in keeping
my hold upon this ledge 01' the precipice
until the rope came back to me, and when I
bound it about my waist I had already ex— .
perienced that fatal dizziness that precedes ‘
unconsciousness. Reaching the top, I cs-
caped the embraces of my Teutonic friends,
and made my way to the chamber in tlic
hostlcry where they had taken Phil. A doc-
tor was already WlIIl him, and declared that,
although no bones werehroken, his system
had received a nervous shock, and that be
modesty compels me to-say it was not be-
Phil—nor to me for that matter.

and right arm were not smashed, neither
had he the skin torn direct from the scalp
over the eyes—which leads me to the 0mm 1
ion that a collision with a rock is less for- ;

are better facilities for nursing in that pret-

outing of her diaphanous drapery about

learning of her luminous eyes thro’ the
immed light of the sick room that made
her presence consoling, healing, divine.
Then when Phil had fallen into slumber
she came to me, her fellow watcher, and
ministered to my comfort through the dark
matches of the night. She listened wrth
tender interest to my relation of our advent
ures in Africa, and was especially never
tired of a terrible struggle of mtne with a.
male lion in the defile of the mountams.
She declared it was thrilling. grand, herorc;

scars upon my face, pronounced them beau-
tiful, while I, alas, caught and kissed those
gentle fingers, and whispered that Phil’s
convalescence were not so rapid, and that
we might forever—we three—rest together
on the verdure crowned heights “like gods
together, heedless of mankind."
- On one of these occasions I was relating
to'her a desperate encounter of ours in the
jungle with a panther, and had reached the
most thrilling part of it; she covered her
eyes with one hand, as if to shut out the. 1
terrible scene, and the other she stretched to
me in sympathy with my relation to the
combat. Absorbed with my story, I just
touched the white fingers to my lips with a
caressing movement, when suddenly Phil
stood before us. He was pale to ghastli-
ness, and my heart smote me,tor I saw in
his face a bitter hatred and reproach. Ho
lared at me with hollow. burning eyes.
But Diana rose to her feet. Taking the
light shawl from her shoulders. she threw it
about the shivering form of Phil and gently
forced him to take the seat beside her.
“ You wicked boy 1” she said, looking on
him with tender reproach. “how can you be
so imprudent! We want no relapses, you -
know, for I must leave you to morrow. The
colonel will be here."
“ The colonel i” stammered Phil ;-“what
eolonel ?”
" Why, my colonel i” said Diana, “ Colo-
nel John Tabot, my husband 1”
Phil seemed to have lost all power of ar-
ticulation, and my own voice sounded hol-
low and strange as I remarked we were un-
der the impression Colonel John Talbot had
been killed years ago by the Indians on the
American plains.
“ Why, what a horrid conjecture i" said
Mrs. Talbot, with a graceful shudder of of-
fright. “There was such a report, and it
nearly cost me my life, but happily it was
an exaggeration. He was scalped and left
for dead. Bttt, you know,” she added.turn.
ing to me, “how much such a tranly, athlet-
ic physique can stand." .
“ Yes, yes,” I murmured; and as she bade
us good night and glided away, Phil and I
looked at each other with an emotion that
was impossible just then to analyze.
We remained in sombre silence, watching
the jagged, snow-covered peaks of the dis-
tant hill. At last our hands sought each
other; a shiver of recollection passed over
the weak form of Phil ; his head sunk upon
my shoulder. '
“Let’s go home, Hal,” he whispered, “let’s
get back to America."
We left. Saxony next day, travelling by
easy stages to the sea. And it is somewhat
remarkable that though Phil’s and my ex-
perience with women were limited and
unsatisfactory, we never sought to extend
our knowledge or ameliorate the paucity of
it
We never married nor saw Diana from
that day to this.
A ittc'rttosrnc .—Clil] any candid and
thoughtful citizen say that, looking forward
from the end of 1b.: war, he did not anticl-
patc more of, strife and bit cituess and blood-
shed than has really resulted, or that he did
not then believe that reconstruction would
be far more tedious anti difficult than it has
proved to be? Can it be denied that after all
we have got on faster anti farther on-toward
perfect restoration titan ten years ago we
had any reason to hope we should? Surely
it does not lie in the mouth of the“ old-fash-
ioned democrat" to deny this. ile ttsed to
say during the war that it' we “ conquered
the South” we could not hold it in “ peace-
ful subjection,”.hut that the southern states
would be turbulent provinces wherein per-
petual military law would be a necessity.
After the war he assured us that the south
would he‘s. “ new Poland" for generations,
and that the real or fancied afflictions of Ire-
land would be insignificant compared with
southern sufi'erintr. If it had been predicted
that within ten years the rcbellious,statcs
would be sell-governing, and possessed of as
much local independence as any northern
state; that in only two southern states
wpuld there be anything like the enforce-
ment of Military rule, and that even in
those two civil rule would be finally prevail-
ing, the “ old fashioned democrat” would
have laughed at the prediction.- Northern
Unionists did not expect that sectional bit-
terness would disappear in less than a life-
time, and the southern confederate did not
believe that friendship would ever be restor-
ed. Now, much as party leaders have done
to obstruct the advance of political peace,
social restoration has gone on with remark-
able rapidity. Therc is almost nothing of
the hatred and revengeful feeling which the
most hopeful had feared. The people are
as nearly right as can be. Who would have
believed that within ten years confederate
soldiers of South Carolina- would return to
Massachusetts ‘thc flag of the Fifty-fourth
(colored) regiment, with honorable mention
of the gallantry ot “ Shaw, Putuaui and
other sons" of that State, and would receive
from Massachusetts almost at the same time

But in this capital there is no woman lef'.

Perhaps it was because of this fact that there

pertpetually finding fault with everything
about her—from the tip of her nose to her
“ lack of heart,” and,above all, with her su-

utter devotion to her children she proved
that she had at least a mother’shearl, which

TESTS OF Ornaments—A great many ad-
mirable acts are overlooked by us, because
they are so little and common. Take for
instance, the mother, who has had broken
slumber if any at all, with the nursing babe,
whose wants must not be disregarded; she
would fain sleep awhile when the breakfast
hour contes, but patiently and uncomplain-
ingly she takes her timely seat at the table.
Though exhausted and weary, she serves
all with a refreshing cup of tea or coffee be-
fore she sips it herself, and Often the cup is
handed back to her to be refilled before she
has had time to take her own. A
Do you hear her complain—the weary
mother—that her breakfast is cold before
she has had time to eat? And this not for
one, but every morning, perhaps, in the
year. Do you call this a small thing ? Try
it and sec. 0, how does woman shame 115
by her forbearance and fortitude in what
are called little thingsl Ah I it is these lit~
110 things which are tests of character; it is
by these little self-denials, borne with such
self-forgotten gentleness,—that the humblest
borne is made beautiful to the angels,
thottgh we fail to see it, alas! until the chair
is vacant, and tho-hand which kept in mo-
tion all this domestic machinery is power-
less and cold!

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation ;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure 'our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it: is the only reliable and perfect-
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
on. FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, b its use, becomes white
and clean. 1; removes all eruptions
and dandruff; and, by its tonic prop-
erties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-triands. By its use, the hair
grows titicker and stronger. In
baldness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
, will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. It is the most cco-
nomical I'IAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance._ A. A. Hayes, M.D.,
State Assaycr ofMassaehttsetts, says,
“Tho constituents are pure, and care-
fully selected for excellent utility;
and I consider it the B1351? REPA-
rtxrrox for its intended purposes.”

Madame Jerome Bonaparte.
IN ScanNnn‘s for May there is an interesting
recount of “ The Baltimore Bonapartcs.” by E. 1.. '
oiztier. accompanied by striking portalt's of Jerome
ind Madame Bonaparte, their son and grandson.
We quote as follows: ‘
Madame Bonaparte is still living in Balti-
nore, at the age of ninety years. She says
.he has no intention of dying until she is a
unndred. She has been to Europe sixteen
-imes, anti contemplates another trip this
summer. This old lady has more vivacity
.nd certainly more intelligence titan many
if the leading women of fashion of the pres-
nt day. She expresses her opinion upon
.11 subjects with great freedom, and some-
times with bitterness. She has little or no
confidence in men; ands. very poor opin-
ion of women: the young ladies ol‘the pres-
ent day, she says,a11 have the “home mania.”
All sentiment she thinks a weakness. She
irofesses that her ambition has always been
—1iot the throne, but man. the throne. ltlr.
Patterson, her father. died in 1836, at an ad-
vanced age, in posession of a large fortune.
in his will, which is one of the most re-
markable documents that has ever been de-
posited in the Orphans’ Court of Baltimore,
ne says: “ The conduct of my daughter
Betsey, has, through life, been so disobedi-
tnt that in no instance has she consulted my
-.pinion or feelings; indeed. she has caused
me more anxiety and trouble than all my
iiher children put together; her folly and
misconduct have occasioned me a train of
‘ipcl'ience that, first to last. has cost me
much money”—in this,he means the mar-
lnge of his daughter to Jerome Bonaparte.
The old gentleman left her, out. of his great
wealth, only three or four small houses and
he wines in his cellar—worth in all about
on thousand dollars.
Madame Bonaparte is very rich ; she has
made her money by succeSst'ul speculations,
ind by her life-long habit of saving. For
tears she has lived at a boarding house in
Baltimore, seeing very little company. Her
costume is ancient, and there is nothing
,vrlous beauty that led captive the heart 01
Jerome Bonaparte.- Her eyes alone retain
some of the brightness of former days.
For forty years, Madame Bonaparte kept
a diary,in which she recorded her views
and observations ot‘European and American
society. A Well-known Boston publishing
house, it is said, recently offered ten thou-
sand collars for the manuscript volumes,
out Madame refused to sell them at any
pricgnd has committed them to the custo.
