Not onoe did he look at Bessie, for commons : Bessie Lynn sat alone in the wide, shady kitchen, busily engaged in picking over whortleberries. Without, the sun shine of an August afternoon bathed the green fields and dusty road that wound to the village, and touched with richer hue the nasturtiums and geraniums in the tiny garden, and the Virginia creeper that climbed and blossomed above the door, Bessie made a pretty picture as she sat on a low cricket with a big calico apron spread over her blue spring muslin dress to defend it from the stains that had soiled her little brown hands. She was a petite and dainty rounded maiden of about eighteen, with great eyes and glossy curls, shading a fair brow and cheeks that had a touch of wild rose bloom upon them. The kitchen, too, was such a pretty ' picture with its well secoured floor and dressers, its asparagus-topped clock, its shining stove with bunches of herbs bung. behind, and great bouquet of vivid cardi nal flowers set on the snowy table? The kitchen was perfectly still, save the buzz of flies and ticking of the clock; and out- - side the' cricket and the insects alone dis turbed the peace. Bessie believed that every one in the house was asleep but herself; and yawned somewhat wearily as she tossed over the berries, finixning the yawn with a bit of soliloquy uttered about halt aloud. 'Oh, dear, this having sum mer boarders i'sn't very pleasant 1' 'Miss Bessie, said a voice in the door way so suddenly that .Bessie nearly upset her berries in her great surprise. 'Oh I Mr. Vane, is it you ?' she said, bashfully, bending down to pick up a lew berries that had roiled from her aproo. 'I'll pick 'em up 1' exclaimed the new comer, a tall and handsome-looking youth of about twenty-one, with merry blue - eyes, short auburn hair curled closely un der a straw hat, diving for the missing berries with ungraceful dexterity. 'Yes, it s 1, of course. Have you for gotton your promise to go tor lilies with, mo this afternoon ?' 'Oh, but I didn't say this afternoon, you know; only some afternoon this week. resoonded Bessie, demurely. 'Well, we'll call it this afternoon, won't we?' waa the persuasive rejoinder as the straw hat was tossed on the chair. '.'I'll help you. i Lend me half that apron and we will have them pipked over in a tree,V 'But I shall have supper to get Mother is away, and there will be biscuit to make,' insisted Bessie turning her face away to hide a smile that would curve her lips. 'Never mind that,' responded Maurice Vane, bringing a chair to her side. Tea . is at half-past six, isn't it ? and it is now only half-past two. We'll be back at fivtf, without fail, and have time to get half the lilies in the river,' and he began to assort a handful of berries with much earnestness. - 'W-e-1-,' assented Beesie, alter a pause for consideration and a glance at the clock. 'I can go for a little while, per haps. Oh! don't stain -your coat, Mr. Vane.' But Mr. Vane was sublimely in different to his coat and worked with such good will that the berrries were soon picked over, and Bessie and himself on v their way to the river. Rye minutes later, Bessie with her draperies daintly bestowed around her was neated in the stern of the boat, which, propelled by Maurice Vane's practical hand, shot swiftly down the stream.

They had enough lilies to satisfy them, and Bessie was leaning backward) and, idly trailing one hand in the water, when she suddenly uttered a little scream and sat erect with white cheeks, from which the color had been frightened. 'Oh 1 I almost lost it. How careless I am T she exclaimed, replacing an old- l fashioned ring, set with a tiny circle of i rubies, on her finger. jk 'Did the water sweep it out of your iandr I suDDOse so. It s too large tor me. I'm always loosing it and finding it again. I wouldn't lose it entirely for the world, because it used to be grandmother's. She gave. jt to me.' " "- What a curious old nng it is I said ' Vane, without interest. 'May I look at it? Don't trouble vourself to take it off,' he said, drawing in his oars and leaning toward his companion. 'Bessie allowed her tiny brown hand to lie in his aristooratio white one a mo ment, then as eoquettishly withdrew it Isn't it pretty?' she inquired, archly. 'Very pretty. Shall I tell you how to guard against losing it in the future?' 'Oh, yes, if you please." Well, wear this little ring of mine to guard it or better yet, exchange with me. Qive me yours and take this instead,' said the young man, daringly.' Bessie looked at the heavy chased gold ring he held out to her, then looked back at the-water with an innocent 'Oh, I don't think it would fit?' ; u Try it,' suggested her companion, softly. : - Bessie shook her head, but finally agreed, blushingly, that it would bono harm to try, and slipped the ring on her forefinger. 'It's a perfect fit" cried Mr. Vane, delightedly; 'nothing can he better. , Why, alias Bessie, you surely don't mean to site it back?' 'OfcortrM I do," was the saucy re joinder. 'Why not?' 'Because, said Mr. Vane, speaking earnestly . and disregarding his fears al together, while he tried to get a glimpse of the face hidden by the flat hat, 'be cause I meant to ask you to wear it for my sake. 1 meant to ask you 'Oh, Mr. Vane," cried the listener, 'do you see that lily on your left? Won't you get it for me?" Til get that and twenty others if you will listen to me first Do you care for me? "Will you marry me?' Bessie's head was turned away, and her head bent lower. A crimson flush A LOST TOWN. The A'A Incorporating Old Waynes boro, in Wayne County, 1782. CHAPTER LXXVL An Act for estaUuhina a town on iht lands of Andrew Bats : Whereas. It is represented in this General Assembly that a town on the lands of Andrew Bass, on the north side of Neuse river, in vYayne county, where the court house and other public build ings now stand, would tend to the pro motion ot commerce, and the ease and convenience of the inhabitants of said county in attending courts and other pub- lie bunness; and the said Andrew Bass who sat m bmff-puziled. half-alarmed iiience, now and then stealing a sidewise glance at the offended young Hercules from under her hat Mr. Vane drew a breath of reliet when the boat at last grated on the sand, and having assisted Bessie to land and curtly offered to carry her lilies, he shouldered the oars and marched firmly toward home by her side. Bessie, somewhat bewildered and more angry, made no effort to break the silence and studiously endeavored to keep from crying. When at last he left her at the door with a cold 'Thank you, Miss Bessie ' and departed to carry the oars to the barn, it was well he did not look back, for Miss Bessie tossed the lilies aside with a petulant gesture and had a fit of crying with her head on the kitchen table. - When Mr, Vane returned from the barn half an hour later, he did see a pic ture which comforted him a little through tne nopwreatned pantry window. It was Bessie with her sleeves pinned up. molding bisouits in desperate haste, while the tears fell thickly on the high calico apron. This picture so amazed Mr. Vane that he retreated hastily behind a lilac bush to observe it; and lingered so long that he was late at tea. This was a model supper. There was the great dish of berries with snowy cream beside, flanked by cheese and raspberry iam. There were two mountains or plates of snowy biscuits contrasting with sponge cake and the richer gold of the butter. Mr. Vane, who had supposed he should never have an appetite again, felt qnite revived by the sight of this table and the memory of the picture. 1 he rest of the boarders seemed to share the sensation, for the group was very hilarious and the eatables disap peared rapidly. Bessie, presiding be tween the pots, seemed rather out of spirits, but xarmer Lynn atoned for her silence by unusual jollity. When the bis cuit passed a second time, to Mr. Vano, he saw that only one was left, and would have decorously refused, but the hosDita- hle farmer pressed it upon him. 'Don't be afraid of it. there's plenty more in the kitchen, ain't there Bessie?' Thus pressed, Mr. - Vane accepted the bisouit and Bessie disappeared to re plenish the plate. Mr. Vane divided the biscuit, then dropued it sudden with an exclamation that brotrght ever eye npon him. There embedded in the V.ght, white bread, lay BesSie's ring. Shouts of laughter arose that brought Bessie back from the kitchen in haste, just in time to see Mr. Vane coolly remove the ring from the biscuit amidst the merry chorus, and drop it into his waistcoat pocket to 'be kept till called for,' he said, with a significant look at her scarlet face. roor bessiel lhere waa no peace tor her after that An army of jokes quite overwhelmed her protestations and dis claimings, and she was thankful to beat a hasty retreat to the kitchen when the meal was over. But there even, was pursued by a laughing trio ot ladies who harassed her with questions, and wonder ment, aDd merriment until the last dish was set away, and she started to the village for letters. Instead of going to the village, she slid along the hedge, climbed the wall and ran to the other end ot the orchard where she flung herself on the grass and cried as it her heart would break. She perhaps had cried half an hour, when a step crushing the dry grass by her side roused her, and the verg voice she most dreaded to hear, said : 'I've come to return your ring. Miss Bessie.' Poor little Bessie sat up b istily, took the unfortunate ring with a faltering 'Thank you,' then immediately hid her face again. 'You needn't thank me; 1 should have brought it before, but 1 couldn't find you. 1 hope you are not troubled about those ridiculous jokes ?' he added. 'N-o,' responded Bessie, miserably, be tween her sobs. 'I I thought you'd think I did it on purpose.' - 'How could I have thought so? It was a mere accidentally getting that par ticular biscuit I'm very sorry you've been so annoyed in tbivay. I'm going away to-morrow, Mis xessie.' The sobs partially ceased, and Miss Bessie said, surprisedly, 'Are you ?' 'Won't you bid me good by?' 'Yes,' Bessie said, unsteadily, but did not raise her head. 'You'llshake hands, won't you, Miss Bessie?' No answer. '1 can't go away while you are offended with me. Won't vou at least tell me whv vou are crving?' 'Because I I lost my grandma's ring,' sobbed Bessie, making a great effort tor composure. Mr. Vane laughed in spite of himself. 'Why, it's safe on your finger, and not a whit the worse for its baking. Is there really no other reason ?' . 'No o.' 'But there is. I shall never have another happy hour if I've offended you," said Mr. ane, tragically. 'I was a brute to treat you as I did this afternoon; but I'm going away and shan't annoy you again. Won't you forgive me now and shake hands?' Another long silence. Mr. Vane turned away in despair, but was detained by n faltering voice. '1 I'll forgive you if ' 'Well?' was the breathless interposi tion. I 'You won't go away?' The more observant boarders noticed at breakfast the next morning that Maurice wore the ring he found in the biscnit on the little finger of his left hand, and Bes sie wore a heavily chased gold circle in the place of her last ornament. To use the words of one of the before named boarders: 'That tells the whole story.' ',. 1.

A dispatch to the News from Spring field, Illinois, says : The damage caused by the cyclone storm, which visited this section of the State last night, was more appalling than was at first supposed. It struck the ground on Elijah lie's farm, south of the junction, and laid waste three dwellings and as many barns and out-houses.

''It's not only" strange, but downright meanness. What's the use of trying to excuse it? Here are the facts: Oaly a few days aeo the Benevolent society met and Mrs. Benson subscribed twenty dol lars. I was speaking of her liberality at the close of the meeting; and now we find her refusing to pay a fair price to her washwoman and seamstress, the latter haying a poor mother and three helpless children to provide for from her scanty earnings.' 'Well, Annie, such inconsistencies are far from being infrequent, and the longer you live the more you will be impressed with incongruities found in human nature. Let me tell you of a lesson I had once, many years ago. 'It was a cold day in December, and a keen, rough wind blew the sharp and frozen sleet in my face as I walked with a quick step down one of the streets of our beautiful city. I had been caught without an unbrella, and when I overtook Mr. Blank, and was invited to walk un der the shelter of his, I took his arm, nothing doth, I assure you. He was an old friend, though his wealth carried him into circles where, as the poor pastor of an humble flock, I should have hardly found admittance. After the first greet ings, he told me that nothing would have tempted him out in such a severe weather but the meeting ot the tfenvoient Asso ciation, ot which 1 turns he said ne was president.

And 1 did what is not always wise, spoke my thoughts aloud.

She gave him a ?ood education, and he has done a great deal for himself, and is to-day one of the most promising young men of my acquaintance. That is only one of many instances which have come under my ob servation th-ough my long and varied ex perience.

And, Annie, perhaps there will be no better time for me to talk with you on the subject which has given me no uttle anxiety. Within the past week two young men have called on me, seeking my permission to win to themselves my heart s best treasure, my only daughter. Annie, darling, will you show me your heart, that 1 may know how to answer them ?' No words came from the restless little figure, who had suddenly found so much to be done in the other part ot the room. Every book had been dusted twice over, and still she lingered, with her face turn ed from her father. 'I am waiting, Annie. 'Wll, papa,' under her breath.

Editor Messenger; Pardon me for again trenching on your space witn a reference to tbe spirit and general tenor of The American PiotectiontsL That sheet, begun, continued and maintained in the interest and through the interest of the class whose tenets it most affects, started out on the high, independent basis, with no party bias, no sectional antipathies. Judging from its initial numbers, one would have supposed that its purpose was to build up a third party on the ruins of the two existing ones, by drawing the malcontents from both. This it proposed to accomplish, by the rather paradoxical argument it s a good thing to be plundered." "In fact despoliation is the basis of all material prosperity, in dividual as well as national."

Its bat teries are now all directed against "the Tariff for revenue only" party, and es pecially against the Southern wing, as being more incorrigibly perverse against the conviction of fallacy than any other. It omits no opportunity either by direct eharge or by innovation and inuendo. to malign our section and people, and to kindle afresh the fires of sectional hate. line on the now obsolete line of Mason and Dixon, ignoring the fact that outside ot the little protected localities, the great farming and tax-paying classes predom inate everywhere. 1 ask you, sir, it tho coupling of the names ot Benedict Arnold and Jefferson Davis is not an insult, direct or implied, to etery man who wore the gray or exulted in its glory, from '61 to '65?

That idea has been sown broadcast throughout the land, and it cannot be choked or stunted longer with Protection fallacies and fanfaronade. If after three quarters ot a century of Government pap and un precedented subsidies our "infant indus tries" can not yet stand alone and take its chance with the farmer's child, it is high time upon the principle of "sclco tionof the fittest that that baby be permitted to die a natural death.

The eminence of merit which commended him to the most trying and responsible position of modern times, Bhould in no wise increase his culpability in the eyes of foemen, more than yours and mine in our humbler sphere. Whilst all concede that he was thoroughly wed ded to "States Rights," in the old time sense, I for one deny that he would have dared more, endured more, or more wil lingly have marched to certain death to uphold the doctrine implied in the issue at arms than you or I. The same may be said of the Confederate army, from Sidney Johnston to the drummer boy. llence to him who asserts that Jener- so u uavis is nt congener witn tne uon- necticutt general so prominently paraded. there should be but one reply from him who is in no whit less criminated. For one, I give it It is the lie, the lie di rect, the lie unqualified by epithet, and which wul not down at explanation or equivocation. In reply to the pertinent query of the irreat financier Albert Gallatin in 1831. "why has not the South the same right to object to being restricted to the New England markets (by invidious taxation,) that New England had some halt a cent ury anterior to compulsory traffic with her older namesake;' the South is held up to the world as the incarnate embodi ment of laziness and want of thrift. That was the epoch when the Soutc first evinced a disposition to rebel against the mandate of the Protection tribute master; and of course such insubordination to our lords and masters, who only craved the poor privilege of selling to our be nighted section at double and treble price, must be met with harsh epithet and the severest condemnation. Appa rently he has despaired of proselytizing our dark corner to bis peculiar views: and so irritates the furious fishwife who vents her spleen in billingsgate on all whe examine bnt decline buying ber wares. Plucking is such an agreeable pastime to the Massachusetts or Pennsylvania ducker. that he seems at a loss to com prehend how the Southern goose should grow restive in playing the other part in the pretty performance,, after so many decades ot acquiescence.
