When her life bean they were all on earth, to pet jtnd spoil her, but aa she grew up, one by one, they passed on until there was left but Rebecca, one of the old est, and her young, ill-tempered and undisciplined self. . How lovely ahe wasl Straight, tall and beautifully rounded, with a head aglow with shining auburn hair, that twist, hraM, confine as ' you would was sure to break fo th into a thousand crinkling, obstinate waves, and cling, like soft fingers, around the snowy forehead and around the throat. Then ahe had eyes like no one else not over Urge or deep, but clear, brown, innocent, beautiful things, that shot quick glances upwar d to your face, and then flushed downward at a pret ty, break-neck speed that went straight inloyour heart. v It was perfectly natural for all men to fall in love with Estella Richmond. First, they .went in to raptures over her. face; then, when they came to kno Iter, she held them with the charm" of her unafiected nannerH, and plain, sensible and sometimes saucy talk. ... 'I never could teach her real politeness,' said the sister, with the sweet old Jewish name. ' 'Es tella could not be polite, to save ber life, and yet heie she would pause, looking at the young face with the; beautiful brown eyes, and ' full, saucy 's mouth you could hardly. expect her to miud con veu tioual ities.' 'And. Mnoi one . did, Eftella grewup to 'a happy unaffected womanhood. - i;;- jh - In the meantime, she never fell in love. Here was, another odd occurrence she always had lov ers on hand, to whom her light est .wish, 'was law, but either tLeiir abundance made her hold them' cheap, 1 or ' their' "extreme humbleness ' made them ' unoora panionable.V At" H events sue never was in lovel " 4 t , Aiid-': right in -the midst of nil I first - saw her.

' ' : Tr,..- It had been an act worthy of t W - nis rnannooa; wnicn bad made him thus. : hk-;, There had Weo a lire in the city, a year before, which swept thruogh the populated portion of our streets. Upon one; house it came so soon and unexpectedly that it was surrounded before the w-etched inmates knew of its ap proach4. Some of them died right in its .midst, but Reginald -one of the few who dared enter the fit SKencifcled building brought forth the gray-haired owner in hi strong young arms, and saved hie lite. Then he turned to go back again, and when he passed intat the window, there came a crash, and the great timber sway ed aod fell, burying him from sight.' - - ,'.;..:, They brought him home alive, but crushed and broken into a cripple for life. t , Hi? reward was the fortune of the gray-haired man whose life he saved. He died six months later, leaviog not a relative on earth, and every dollar Of his irti mense wealth to my cousin Reginald.- , - ' ;. ;;;:. : We two made up the famitv into which Rebecca . Richaiond and her sister were coming. . . When t read the letter to Re ginald, annouueing their coming, he said:; . Iv : . Vl. . It will be dull here, Mary, to this Eslella. Whv don't you nend for Harry (Harry was my nephewand a gay young fellow, i nhid.arly. twenties. 'She wil 1 fiod Jt-ttnenduabIenor llarrjr, and perhaps they: wilt get up., a. love affair, or something equally interesting, I'd like it.'; ' Sol sent for Harry,' and he came in season to help me greet Rebecca and her be mtiful sister I have never forgotten the ex- firessive tableau we had ia the ibrary that NoremW ' night the 'open grate (for-Reginald ta booed the furnace heat) shedding its warm light all over the room, and helping the gas out wonder fully, the clear glass of the book cases reflecting us, and the warm, bright furniture standing in prim elegance as a neat fill in g-iu of the living picture. j v , First, there Was Rebecca, in her high, . close-fitting black dress, standing a tall, slim,, genteel figure with her arm on the mantel, beaming graciously upon us. I was beside her, a smiling listener;" Regldald was ; in his chair, his fair ' pale face and dark hair showing itn pitiful contrast against the .crimson "velvet; Har ry, strong and handsome as a prince, was beside' him; and Es tella, upon whom we. all were gazing, was fitting carelessly on the mat " before the grate, her hands clasped over one knee, her eyes shining, and her tongue j rattling out a lively description or her journey. . r'How nice it is here I' she said, in conclusion. 'I'm sure I ohall be so contented that I shall want to outstay our iovitatioa. I am always doing that sort of thing wearing out my welcome.' There seemed , very little dan ger of doing that, for I was de lighted, Reginald declared that hitherto we had butj vegetated, and Hrrv decided that it was the j dliest winter he had1 Spent since he left college. . Indeed why should it not be 'jolly,' since everything on earth that could be done was done for the happiness of our gneUs ? D yotf think they will fall in love,?' Reginald , frequently ask ed, indicating Harry , and Estel- i. . '; .;.'.;'"::., . I hope so.VI invariably. jaid ; for nethVQg on earth at that time seemed more " probable or sen slble 1 r -- v - . 'I do f he wonld sav. i It wnntil I be nloe to have her always hers.' .Harry and , Estella were at first always together, and we in our own minds had them inarri.'d an4 settled - '''1 - Meanwhile, Reginald got', un manageable. He shut his door against the young people, and hatched ' oat a perfect belief that he was ill j; and after a few days of his manoeuvring, became pale and depressed, to such an extent that I got alarmed and proposed sending for his phvsiciao, ' , ; 'Don't do anything of the kind, Mary. ; It is ray temper.'. , ;s , I did. not question himi know ing how he hated to be question ed; but I racked my brain, for the next three days, to find a solution to this odd declaration, from one who never before gave the slightest evidence, of having a temper. ; . . ' s -. ' One night, Harry and Estella were going to a party, and after Estella was dressed, I went to the library and Reginald. For nearly a week,' Estella had kept out of Regiqahl's sight, but now, just As I was comfortably seated, in she danced. '," , . , . V, She was in a blue velvet, oddy cut dress, with bands of white tur arouad the' skirt," the sleeves and low corsage, and in . her bright hair was an aigrette of blue and white feathers. ' - 'A re you real ly sick, Mr. Cramp toe 71 abe ask pausiBg-jast -inside the" door. 'No, not really ?' - 'Then I may come in. Don't I look nice?.'. ' ' : 'Perfect I' said he, quietly. . : . ; tihe came cIobo to his chair,' and leaned over the arm. Harry brought me this bou qust. It is.lovely, 'but I dn't like to carry flowers with a dress like this. - Wou't you keep theta? - She held out the great cluster of rare flowers toward bis baud. . : 'Yes; but Harry I' J 'Oh, he don't care I He has me, and that is enough.'. ; :, Yes' Reginald looked into the beautiful : face 'it ought to be.' t ; Vim .; ' 'Of course, No w may I come to-morrow and tell yon all about the pa,rty ?' . . ..v ' e. .'Yes, by all means F ;':f!t-;;;- So, in the face of all my efforts, aqd Reginald's temper, E tell a found her way again into the li brary and . became confidential and chatty, and my patient was himself again. i - r ; I used to' watch the. trio ,. a great deal after that for Harry, of course, followed Estella and wonder at Reginald's patie' ce. ' He had been, was a handsome fellow, and but for his awful mis fortune, as straight and strong as Hrry, ; who was ever showing his strength and grace in every movement of, his lithe, athletic body; and it seemed a miracle al most , that , Reginald should pa tiently bear the constant remind ers of his own weakness. But he did, and was even happy in the midst of it all. -v, 7 1 It ended. Ah,ta what an odd ending it, hart I I must tell you, for I was there. , . , - One night there was a lecture, aud somebody sent tickets, and as I had a cold and Eatella would not go, Harry took Rebeco,' and thus left us Reginald, . Estella and me -in the library. This is the nicest thing that has happenod yet,' Estella ; laid. 'I've wanted for long time to tell you something,: and couldn't, for fear .of an interruption. ,t Jw listen.' ' 8he pat her chair back, brought a hassock ovr to Reginald's feet, and sat down.j For a taoment she was "silent;"' then "she went over to the 'gas and lowered it.,' It i loo light for; what I hive to say,' she said, and' then came back to her seat.

Sounds of political warfare are beginning to be heard id the land., The two opposing armies are well- nigh ready to leave their, camps and take position in battle array against each other. Busy pre paration for the great invitable conflict is everywhere going on, The leaders are in earnest coun cil and with watchful . eyes scan the scene of ..what .1 they know must be the most eventful cam paign ; ever : witnessed in this oountrr. Everything indicatos that the struggle for the posses sion of the exeoutive branch of the t, Federal - Government just now begioning will, ere us close, call into requisition every re source of each party, " Nor lit we would, , could ... we escape the conflict. . The fight must ; be fought. s Nor can there be any drawn battle. One side or the other must sleep in victory on the fleli The . time has : come when . an appeal to the people, the 1 sovereign . people, must be made; the time has come when public servants must give an ac connt of their stewardship to ns who are their masters . ? And in view, of, their t extravagances, their frauds, their ' . ignorance, their, incompetence, their oft-repeated outrages upon i the - most cherished rights ofoitizens; the or deal through which the men now in the publio Federal service have to go,"' is a terrible one; bnt ' for all that it cannot be avoided nor even delayed. Before the ides of November shall have ended the battle will have .been lost and woo. Here and there along the line skirmishers are already being deployed in the broad light of day, for it is an open fight in which the whole world knows the very time and place when and where the first gun 1 will be fired and may be spectators of its oft changing currents. V.The first preliminery skirmish will , take place amid iee and .snow., in the State of New t Hampshire ere the March moon- shall have waned ; for the election i,n Texas Tuesday next will bear mainly on borne issues. . But thoouh the fight will be.fought on a: frozen . field e it promises a hot time to those.' im mediately engaged, for the New Hampshire election has every prospect of being interesting as well as close. ;Both parties, it is said, have put excel lent men in the field. The Hon.- Daniel Maro? the Democratic nominee for G 0 vernor, m uh t be a" r are m a n , for the most .partisan journals find it impossible to say anything worse against him than -that he was a piece Democrat1 daring the war. iThsysay frankly that his moral character is withont blem ish, and that he will 'call out the full strength of our party through his great popalarity,"'?'-..;?- k In 1873 the Radical candidate for Governor received 2.00T totes more than his Democrtio Oppo nent. In 1874 the Democratio candidate received 1,465 - votes more than his Radical opponent, la 1875 the Radical candidate received 172 votes more than his Democratio opponent,' ' In -addition to this, the Uw of New Hampshire requires that to le elected, a candidate must receive a majority of all the ' votes cust The existence of a body of feVu peranco reformers win votu, a thousand to two thhsand strong, first on one side and then on the other, renders doubtful; beyond a!
