"Then Heaven help me," Rupert said in ft tone of bitter misery, throwing himself down ou the sofa by his moth er. " Mother, you may as well know it now! There's deception all round; she has promised to marry me, pretend ed tL!at bKkj loves me ! Good heavens ! how can such an arch-traitress have grown-up in your pure, truthful atmos phere?" "My boy, my Rupert! I may be mistaken, I must be mistaken," poor, bewildered Mrs. Balyou cried. Our Kathleen could never bring herself to cause such misery; but, why wasu't I told ? No, she can't have acted so base ly, and I've wronged and misjudged the girl I love as a daughter; it's just n sister's love she's giving to Archie, and perhaps he's in her secret, and oh, my boy, don't frtt!" The mother was powerless to com bat this grief, or to assuage it in any degree. These sons had been her joy and comfort all their lives, and now, when trouble fell upon one of them for the first time, the could do nothing te aid him to bear it, nothing to lighten the burden to him ! Such trouble too ! If it had been brought upon him by any other man, she might have been able to counsel him how to bear it. But to have fallen on him through hisbroth er's agency ! They were both her boys, and she loved them both better than she did her life; and now one could on ly be happy ai, the expense of the oth er, if tier fears were true. 1 If her fears were true! There was still a doubt about it. She rose np from his side, and lifted his bowed head on to her Oosom, and bade uim take courage, and have faith in Kathleen, stilL I'll go to her at once, Rupert, I'll tell her that my son couldn't keep uis foolish secret any longer from his mother, and Archie shall hear directly that he must not try to engross his brother's bride; be hopeful, my son 1" " Yon speak more hopefully than you feel, mother; I've shut my eyes to the danger, because it was too ghastly and mean u one for! me to bear to con template it. But now 3'ou've seen it, and I know I've been betrayed; but Heaven knows it's not Archie that I blame he knows nothing." ' Mrs. Balyon determined to go ' t j Kathleen. She would not compromise her charge by implying, even to Archie, that the girl had beeri less discreet than it was well Lis brother's promised bricle shoak:be. So she sought Kathleen, and found her in her own room, doing nothing and looking sad.

She had worked mischief and misery for want of thought, not want of heart, and it galled her to the quick to be reproved and treated coldly. ' "Don't pu&h me from you," she plead ed, "Rupert would be kinder than that, and it's for Rupert's eake you hate me now; you don't care for Archie's pain ; he loves me too, and he. will have to lose me, and I have to , tell him the truth and teach bira to despise mc and oh, no one will pity me!" "I will pity you, I will try to, help you, if if you'll only , be, truthful, if you'Jl duly try. to mepd the tuiscjiief; you must not see Archie again. I knew he couldn't have wronged his brother knowingly. I knew he was ignorant. My boys are gentlemen, and they have always loved each other and given each other their due. - Archie' must be spared as much as possible, Kathleen, but not at the expense of his brother: you are pledged to Rupert, and Archie must 1 bear his disappointment." "You'll teach him to bate me," the girl interrupted; "let me see him once, only once, and tell him 'of my fault my self; that will be punishment enough for me; let me see Archie once again." " My sons are gentlemen," the mother repeated proudly, "there can be no danger in what you ask; they will both renounce yon if yon go with your heart to one, while you leave the promise of your hand with the other; what has made you do it, child ? Why have yon played at love with natures so much finer than your own, when it was only vanity actuating yon ?" t "No, do, no! Kathleen, cried, fail ing down on ber ktiees, "uot vanity when Archie is concerned; -I love him, I love him, and-be- will -never know it isn't that hard eubiigh?

As for Archie, he was neither grave nor gloomy, but thai he was ex cited and uncertain, his mother saw with pain, and intuition taught her that Kathleen had held some cenmmunica tion with him in spite of her promise to the contrary. As for Kathleen, she only volunteered one remark, and that was to the effect that it was a " fitie, bright night, and that the avenues in the north pjanta' tion were always at their loveliest, when the snow was on the ground, and the moon was np." Time did uot fly any faster when dinner was over, and the family party had adjourned to the c! rawing-room. Kathleen seemed to recover her spirits, but her spirits led her astray, it seemed to Rupert, for he feared to keep her near him for a single momtnt. When he went to her at the piano she broke into loudel song, and went on pouring out uncertain strains of melody so waveriugly and iuharmoniously that even the sleepy master of the house roused himself to express a hope that she "would do her practicing iu the morning for the future." Archie buried himself among the cushions of a sofa and the pages of a novel, but once he rose to put. another candle on the piano, and as he did so he muttered: "Keep your promise; this stale of things can't go on." Thuy kept early hours at. The Cnrt.. At ten Archie said good-night to them, and when his mother asked him if he " meant to go out luto the bitter cold to smoke his cigar as usual," he replied, " No, his bedroom fire would be the divinity he should worship to-nigbt, not the cold starlight." And she kiss ed his hot forehead, and blessed him, and bade him sleep well; and so he went out. , " Good-night, old fellow," the broth ers said to each other simultaneously, and Rupert followed Archie half way to the door, witly extended handf but Archie did not see him. Then Rupert turned to his love, and whispered: " It's all clear between us, - my own, maj I tell ray father now? we will never have a secret from our nearest again,.

Presently be re- mfctiJbered Kathleen's words at diqner about the aveuues being at their loveli est when the snow was on the ground, and ' the 'moon -was np. In " another minute he had opened the window and gojie down to the. edge of the IjfcUicf trees. A step or two more and he was nnder their black shadows, and then he looked back at the light in his moth er's win Jo w, and saw the reflection of her figure moviDgaroand the room; and, half unconsciously, loDged the more for happiness in his marriage, in order that a portion of the reflected brightness of her children's lives might pass into his mother's. " It's late in the day for her to begin to enjoy herself," he thought, " but it will bo more perfect enjoyment to her than sheR ever known if allgoes well 1 with Archie and me. s The thought had hardly crossed his mind when whispering voices caught his ear, a woman's form rustled in the bnsbes close' to him, and he saw his Kathleen standing, her head on a man's . shoulder- that man's arm en circling her. In an instant he was by her side--still in' the shadow of .the treek speechless tvith grief 'and shame, and outraged love and trnst ; he was unrecognized, and Archie's startled instiucts caused him to raise his hand and strike the invader a heavy blow. He reeled and fell, and when they bent over him, and shrieked his name iu their horror and fear, no answer came, for the sharp edges of a jagged stump of a tree had cut into his brow, and it was a dead heart that Kathleen tried to convince of her fidelity, in spite of Appearances. , His mother believed Archie, when he knelt and told her that he was innocent of the great offense of raising his hand knowingly agaimtt his brother believed him, and loved him, and suffered for him, aud lamented him, even as she loved, and sorrowed, and snffered for, and lamented Rnpeit. But Archie had to take his trial in spite of her faith in him, his trial by the laws of hia coun try lhat was soon past. The trial that was never over, was his vivid re membrance ol how his brother's life and his own honor had been sacrificed. He never renewed his wooing of Kathleen, . indeed, he never saw her a$aiu after the terrible day of the in quest, when she was dragged before the jury to give evidence against h m. When it was all over, he left the service aud i he country, leaving his mother to take care of the broken, penitent girl, who had been the cause of robbing her of both her hoys; and Kathleen knew that there was justice in his course, though there was little mercy in it.'- Value of Presence of Minp. The presence of mind of Miss Kate Falvey, principal Of grammar school No. 39, New York, probably averted a terrible disaster one day lately. There were about' 1,500 pupils in attendance, and the janitor quietly informed Mips Fal vey that the felting around the steam pipe was on fire, and that a conflagra tion was immiuent. With rare pres ence of mind! the principal called the school to .attention and said that as Thursday was thanksgiving she wonld give them a half holiday to: prepare for its celebration. She then com manded them to1' see how quickly and ordevly"they could vacate the building, and communicated similar instructions to the different departments. In a few minutes tvyo-thirds of the school- had reached. the street, when the cry of fire was- raised. A panic ensued among the children in the building,-and a rnsh was made for the exit. MissiFalvey's presence of mind again asserted itself, and in order to avoid a jam in the hall she was successful Jn getting the main door closed7an3 then in a few minutes quieted the children by telling them there jWas no d anger; Several, how ever, had fainted.and a few were bruised in the rush, but none were seriously hurt. ' In the meantime the janitor had succeeded iri extinguishing the flames, the damage being slight Recipe fob Making Loaf Bread With out.

Cartenvilla (Ua) Fxefiral?ezT s When the word inflation " is used we most commonly connect it with pa per currency, greenbacks, &c, bnt there is another kind of inflation that seems to be more common than any sort of paper money ever was, not excluding Confederate bills in their flushed times. It is a commodity exclusively, used in Georgia, and may be the stock in trade in other States where we are not so well acquainted. This species of infla tion is decidedly gaseous in its compos sition, although it is neither etbereal nor brilliant It is " of the earth earthy." To raise the inflated substance we find the sorriest material in use; nor docs the expanded bubble always leave the bad odor behind when it floats upward. " Puffs" are the order of the day. Public puffs, private puffs, newspaper puffs, associated press dispatches (oth erwise puffs, a manufacturing of the trashiest kind,) all sorts of puffs, from a dinner table toast down to a puff paid for in a drink of mean whisky. Cer tain inflated reputations are familiar with all, and use all, at suitable times. The modus operandi is very simple to those who have nothing else to rely npon. It needs only unblushing effront ery aud a few "spondulicks" to set the inn chine a going. It is said in Washington that certain great men of the preseut day can ac complish their purpose by giving a Sunday dinner to an attache of each newspaper iu that city. The wine may be good or bad, but it is easy to pay for such hospitality with a newspaper puff. When a Georgia editor gets to that city of " magnificent distances" just take him to Willard's and champagne him until his tongue gets limber, and he will go home aud "pnff" yon in the most extravagant sentences. Then the provincial press, ever on the alert for an item, will seize the article and put it forward, never dreaming that it is "well paid " for in couvivial wine, and the great Senator or Congressman straightway sees his reward.. In . the better days vl the Republic men of merit and taleut had too much innate self-respect to connive at such tricks in trade. Their speeches stood upon their appreciated excellence, and uot upon the "puffs" thatfloated them into public notice. Call.onu, Clay, and Webster would have scorned such pal try devices. But those statemen have left us, and we find in some cases that United States Senators can use the smallest means to further their indi vidual schemes. Ex-Governor Brown expressed the sentiment of the people when he said we could stand a moder ate dose but when " puffing " became an established system it was " nau seous " to the general reader. It was the case with General Gordon, of whom Governor Brown made the foregoing remark. When Senator Gor don took a ride, it was duly chronicled; when he and Mr. Lamar get a letter it was the same thing. V For instance, it was telegraphed all over the country less than a week ago that they had heard from Governor Hampton, and the Governor was suffering still from the kick of the mule. WThea General Gordon went to see the President, Mr. Barr, the head of the Associated Press, gave us all heedful particulars. When General Gordon expected to make a speech the fact was well set forth; when be declined to ' make a speech, ditto; when he did make a speech it waa a flourish of trumpets equal to the famous blow, before the walls of Jeri cho.'" Every' man's born in' Georgia helped to swell the echo,' until' the simple-hearted yeomanry seeing nothing else, reading nothing else, and hearing nothing else, were led to believe tbat a MDaniel had come to judgment." When the forty-fourth Congress met General Gordon was very busy in help ing the Democratic House, to organize itself. It had been Republican for a long time, but a new order of things prevailed. General Gordon who es says' to manage - the States of Georgia, South - Carolina, and - Ijouisiana, was promptly on hand to manage tbat body. He and Mr. Lamar proposed to mo nopolize all the offices that belonged to Georgia by right,' forsooth; they were were small potatoes in their estimation. They bull-dozed poor Fitzh ugh (who got the office of doorkeeper) until they eocured two of the best,, .places in his gift, ono for Mr Payne, who lived in Mississippi, and had married a relative of General Gordon, the other,' Mr. An dorson Reese, who lived in Georgia, and was related to- Senator Iamar by marriage. Mr, : .Reese ,; was t associate editor of the Macon Tdegraph andMe futngef. and no man ever " puffed these distintrmsbed eentlemen more aasidn- oualy.

Accordingly, t ha letter was written, and the son wrota'a jeply saying " he had conferred with his dis tingaished father, and as 'he thought best, he must decline th 6 proffered honor." j - i o-i iu Straightway the press began In.work. From Maiua to Californta-we" heard of tbat noble Georgia Senator- who- -could not allow his son to accent a proffered office because it conflicted with hU principles. Ha I hal Georgia newt papers copied it faithfully; For about two weeks every exchange that 'met our eyes was filled with tributes to the noble Georgia Senator who waa a, mar tyr to principle Was not that infla tion ?

We are inclined to -think ttjia infla tion system works in otber1SUtea.r If you examiue the House and SenaU or ganization yon will find the cCcahi largely sprinkled with newspaper peta. The plan of mutual admiration -works very smoothly. " You-tickle-roe-and ril-tickle-yoo," is the best machine oil in political life.
