Monsieur Bufonte, who had a large
family and a small income, hired
the unner floor of a laivo building'.
in . Paris : and to reduce his rent, J
underlet a room to young Mousieur
Fernande, the musical composer,
of whose compositions no one had
yet heard anything.
It was a little narrow room, with
one very high window ; but it had
this advantage ; out of. this window
one could, at the risk of breaking
one's neck, catch a glimpse ot the
beautiful prima donna, Mdlle. La.
G
as she fanned
the balcony of the ; first floor. For
this sensible reason had Monsieur
Fernande hired the apartment.
He was dreadfully in lovo with
her, though they had never spoken
to each other, and he fondly and
falsely believed she knew that he
had thrown her boquets, and had
given him special thanks for them
as she held them against her pretty
chin and bowed her pretty head
over them and smiled with the
beaming smile of an actress down j
upon the audience. I
It ever he made his name and
fortune, then she should know, but
not until then. So he loved on in1

urions lounge and coach and sofa to
be bought for money. She lavished
gold on her friends, herself, on her
pet poodle, on the beggars who held
out their. crooked hands, and showed
their distorted faces at the door of
the house, as she tripped from it to
her carriage.
They said she had been a peasant
child, whose sweet Voice, as she
stood singing at thc door of
a little hut had caught the ear of a
Wealthy music worshiper, who had
her taught in consequence. They
tell such stories of so ;many prima
donnas. No one would have guessed
from her manner now, that she ever
knew the! value of a sou. Yet with
all this extravagance, she was grow

fortune in a night. I

knew itj for genius ought to recog
nize its own works. Still, rattling
marches, waltzes that were the same
old thing over and over 'again, and
bits Irom well-known operas twisted
into gallops, sold ; while his little
songs lay neglected on the counter,
i and others never reached the coun

iir5t publishers with no music in

If, indeed, some well-known sing
er would have sung one of them
! Mademoiselle La C-
for
ln-
stance then there micdithavc been
i a change. The thought crept into
j poor Fernande's h;irt by degrees ;
! at last it strengthened into a resolve;
but it must be tin4 best of all that he
should lay before his idol, the very
best nothing else would do.
So he wrote in his attic room, the
poor composer, and below the hap
py the happy song-bird trilled her
songs, p.nd laughed and chatted, and
and was carelessly generous, and
never even knew of his existence,
who, evening after evening, watched
her, listened to her, envied the men
who had the right to sit by her, hold
her fan, perhaps who knew ? her
hand also ; the men, one ot whom
might one day be her favored lover.
And she enjoyed her happy huttei
lly existence, and knew nothing
about him.
At last in a moment ot romantic
influence, our composer turned poet.
He wrote the words of a song which
he called "Love's Dying Dream'
and he fitted it to an air so sweet,
so gentle, so tender, so plaintive,
that'bv I,la-vinS il 011 the old Piai10'
hc kl,ew U to betlie bcSt 0t a11 that
no naa ever aonc ine origin par
tictdar gem fit to lay before his
lady.
He copied it out daintily, he wrote
a pretty note without any signature
but that of "An Admirer," and ho
resolved to leave it at her door and
await the result.
''If I should ever hear her sing it,
I should be so happy so happy,"
he said to himself, "I should be
willing to die."
"What strange things we say some
timctimes ! Did you ever say any
thing, not quiso meaning it, that af
terwards pi oved itself true, though
not as you intended it ? I have.
And one morning he said :
"To-day I will do it ;" and
with these words left his little
room.
He ran down stairs writh the
precious little parcel in his hand,
and stood before the door that led to
Mile. La C
s suite
of rooms
with a palpitating heart, lie had
intended to knock and leave the mu-
S1C
sic and a note with a servant, but
! portrait of his divinity herself, and
! ifc was set in costly gems. These
he neither noticed nor cared for.
All he saw was the sweet face. He
stooped over it ; he examined it ;
he took it in his hand.
"It is herself I" he said. "It is
wonderful !"
And I think he would have
kissed it, but at that moment
he heard a little scream and a sav
age growl.
He turned. The scream came
from Mile. La C , the crowl
from a gentleman who accompanied
her, and on the instant two hands
came down on Fernande's shoulders,
and the miniature was wrested from
him.
"How careles3 of Auguste,"
cried the ladv, "to leave the !
door open for thieves to enter
by."
The gentleman called lustily for
help.
Fernande said nothing. Con
scious of his terrible position, he
was stricken dumb ; and it was as
j one passes through the changing

self to be arrested and cast into
prison. j

Be a Man.
Now there are two courses, either of
j which yon can take. Ono i3 to say
i am not living or dressing as well as
my companions, and I must have fine
clothes and better fare.
Thc other is to say with stern manli
ness 4T have come here to make my way ;
and honestly and simplicity require that

The discipline which you get from
this latter course of self denial, is better
than going to college. Many a man
cradled in learning gets no discipline;
but a young man, who having been rear
cd and trained in self-indulgence,
leaves his father and comes to the city,
! and says
"I will be beholden to no man ; I can
afford to live as plain as any man, both
in regard to deit and clothes, if it is ne
cessary to manhood. I will not have
anything which I cannot fairly earn; I
will be independent and establish my
self." Such a young man get3 a discipline
which is worthy a university education.
By forming that purpose and adhering
to it, he is educating himself in the very
elements f manhood. He is making a
man of himself.
Do you suppose men think less of you
because you dress plainly? Do you
think yourchances in life are less be
cause you leel ashamed to fhow a man
where your room is, and where you
sleep f Why, many a man has slept in a
1 ww v&9 utrwicr iuz&a raiDY wco
l slept in mansions -and palaces. A man
ought not to u to .T am
j po0r, and cannot do so and so." It i-
I the curse of America, since there are no
I orders of nobility here that man are
ashamed to admit they are poor. The
young wan defends himself, and says,
I am not so poor as you take me to be.'
Even sensible people yield to thc temp
tation of the devil, and arc ashamed to
acknowledge that they work.' r :
Mr. Voorhecs Denounces the

anco. Mr. Voorhces spoke for two .
hours, and was wnnly g ret ted. He
said of the Blanton' Duncan movement ;
UI have told you that I Lave great respect
for that class of Democrats who found it
necessary to reason themselves into the
support if Mr. Greeley. I belong to that
class m jself,and have reached my position
by a careful surrey of the field of duty,
and not from impulse or mere personal
inclination. I hare weighed the cala
mities which will accrue to the country
from Grant's re-election against the
benefits to be procured by the election ol
Greeley, and hare taken my Btand accor
dingly. I hare no word of abuse to
hurl against the men engaged in calling
the Louisville ConTention, but their pur
pose cannot be mistaken. Erery intelli
gent man in the United States knows
that it is a movement solely in the in
terest of Grant, and directly tending to
his re-election. That Conrention is the
hope of the Grant party. Mr. Greeley la
now the only choice we can make to
bring peace and reconciliation to the
country."
Massachusetts.
From the New York Tribune.
We have not hitherto thought that
there was any occasion for the Grant
people in Massachusetts to be alarmed
about carrying that State. But it seems
that the general panic ha3 reached even
theic. They considered it necessary ;a
their Conventional Worcester yesterday,
after lenominating Governor Washburn
for Governor, to cast about for means to
secure all the odds and ends of fiction in
in the State to help elect him. They
adopted a prohibitory liquor law resolu
tion, and one squarely declaring in favor
of woman suffrage. Whether they will
gain or lose more votes by this expedient
remains to be seen. The resolutions
were on the whole, with these excep
tions, more wordy than significant. One
of them had the bad taste to abuse the
Liberal ticket, not follow mg the good
example set by Dr. Loring, who made a
long speech without accusing Mr. Gree
ley, Mr. Sumner or Mr. Trumbull of a
single crime.
Arkansas. The Reform State
Ticket.
By Telegraph to the N. Y. Tribune.
Little Rock, Aug. 23. The Demo
cratic Liberal, and Reform Republican
Committee, met here on Saturday, for
action on the State ticket nominated on
the 22d of May last. They concluded
their labors on Menday, making three
changes in the State ticket, as follows:
Associate Justice, Attorney General, and
Superintendent of the Penitentiary.
Some changes in the Electoral ticket
were agreed on. No change was request
ed by any of the Committees, or any
member of them as to the head of the
ticket, Joseph Brooks. The result ol
the conference gives great satisfaction.
and it is conceded that the ticket will
be elected by upward of 20,000 majority.
Greeley and Brown's majority will not
be less than that for the State.
Radical Jurors.
We learn that all the Jurors, who serv
ed here at the Federal Court last week
and all who were summoned, were Radi
cals ot the deepest dye, with butoncor-
two exceptions. It is further stated that
the Jurors were selected by leading Rad
icals of this section several weeks airo.
and their names sent to Raleigh to Car-
row, who authorized them to be sum
moned. The villainy of such conduct cannot
be too severely denounced. It is an out
rage that thc people should Tesolvc to
rid themselves of at whatever cost. By
it the whole cou3e of legal proceedings
in the Court is vitiated, prejudice and
passion control the verdicts of the Jurors
and justice is impossible. Legal investi
gation before such bitter partisans is a
farce and mockery. Carolina Hatch
man. --.
It is claimed that the administra
tion of General Grant has reduced
the Federal debt $300,000,000. The
American people have paid in taxes
since his inauguration 2,20O,'o00
000. What has become of the odd
$2,2000,000,000 ? Some of it, wo
know, went to North Carolina, and
a round sum, we presume, is held jn
reserve to meet the exigences of the
Presidential election. But allowing
for these items, what has become of
the immense sums paid into the
Federal Treasury, or at all events,
levied upon the people since 1868 ?
t The Lumberton Jiobetontcn

lumbus county, on Monday night of last

years. The woman's nam? was Ilannah
