After they had returned, and it was generally known who Carl was, all were highly pleased at the turn affairs had taken, and none more so than the Judge, who declared that he had always thought Count Hubert not near so good looking as he Lid fair to be, but as he found all the most essential qualities in the as cendant, he was generous nough to be silent about that ; and with a grasp of the hand he, told Carl that he had won a genuine article of love, with less dros in her composition than he would meet again in a life time. . Next morning the party took leave of their kind friends with reluctance, for their visit had been highly gratifying to them in . every way Annie accom panying them, phaetons carried them to the station in an hour two hours ride brought them to the city, where they were welcomd back with fluttering smiles, imd the Count was fairly over whelmed with attention from every source, but every day found him at Min nie's side, his engagement with her was, as he had told her, " a glorious excuse for refusing to be bored to death at places where she was not, if she was but in the room," he said, "he could stand being lionized." As soon how ever as the sunshine of her presence was gone, he was immediately seized with paralysis of both mind and heart, and inavariably excused himself with a t-ry important engagement, would seek Min nie's side where he declared, " he knew no happiness but in her presence." Maneuvering mama's, " interested chaperons,marriageble beauties, undis puted belles, millionaire, brilliancy of mind and sparkling wit, all contested for hi smiles. He had been the pet of fashionable circles as plain Carl Drayton owing to his fine mental qualifications, graceful address and exquisitely hand some person. The nonchalant manner with which he had always received their flattery, also added an interest in striv ing to win his regard, but now those who had carressingly patted his cheeks with the tips of their pink fingers, fas tened forget-me-nots and. i bleeding hearts, unasked, in his button hole, lisped gracefully and differentially, Me Lord. When twitted about his devotion to Miss Waters, he would place his ' hand on his heart, a la francaise, and say, ah ! so ve-ry charming, so ve-ry piquent, something hew, the ' lady amuses me ve-ry much, ah 1 very much, so the un usual admiration that Minnie always received, he seemed to expect as a natu ral consequence and when tome friend asked him if he was ever jealous, he re plied that it exalted his opinion "of the people, if they did not appreciate his idol he would transplant her to a Euro pean Curt where he knew the gallant Irench, fiery Spaniard, and sentimental Italian would be constantly dueling about her. r ?) r. : T '? I 1 ? : When he had asked Minnie of her parents, Mr. Waters had said, " Sir ! I congratulate you upon your conquest, but in giving away my daugh ter, even to one so unexceptionable has its disadvantages, your land and mine are far apart. Her happiness of course is my first thought, , all selfishness is smothered and I give her to you re member, she is a precbus jewel from the casket of my watchful care, a ; ddi-1 cate exotic in sensibility eSuemcnt and affection from'the tempered cuttservatory of my tender love, 13c careful ofmy Cower,' my sweet Mignonette !

Write as soon as possible, when you will present us with your bride. Suitable demonstra tions will be made fur : your recep tion." " Now my own, said Carl, can we not be married immediately ?' " J ust let me run get my hat first, she laughed. ' " You dear little tease you," said he, catching her as she danced to the door. And meeting Mrs. Waters, he asked, " Won't you please help me persuade this little lady to name an early day far the consummation of my happiness ?" " What," said she, winding her arms about Minnie affectionately, "when, woe as me ! The day she leaves, oh! Count, I ar.i afraid in 3-our excessive joy you lose sight of our Kaerifiec.', Mrs. Wa ters voice trembled, and her. eyes so like Minnie's were filled with tears. 1 he Count did not answer but boweel gallantly and reptfully kissed her hand. . With n effort to be playful Minnie said, "' ' If you don't mind, before you -get pos.ion of me, (aud after too) yuu will wish that you had takeu Couutess llotT in the onset !'' He smiled, and as they were left alone said " Nothing or earth can make me re gret my choice : even if you all do make it so hard for ine,auddoyou know that I will never leave you ; no, I would die at your feet before anything or any cir cumstances could make me give you up. , CHAPTER XII. Final. We will glide over a space of four months when bright joyous spring with all its birds, and flowers smiled upon a bridal party. It had boen arranged that Minnie and Nita shuld be mar ried at th? same time and take the European trip as their bridal tour, their going together softening some what the sorrowful parting with home and friends. The most surperb trovsseaus had been imported aud had bsen ordeied with a view to Court life, no expense had been spared in the richness of ma terial or pureness of jewels, and the elite of the great city of- was in a tumult of delightful excitement over the expected marriage in hMi life. " We will not weary our readers with any minute details, suffice it-to say, as the deep toned Organ rolled orth its eoul stirring chords, and the bridal party entered the grand old Cathedral, which was filled to overflowing with expectant friends and pcqoaintances, u great wave of excitement stirred the assembly all crested with white plumes, de icate ruffs and dainty haukerchief?, reminding one of an agitated sea, and and as the tide of feeling receded leav ing a calm these interesting couples and grand Cortege stood before ?h Minister speaking words that bound tliem for life. Many who witnessed thasulnmo ceremony thought only of aMa . . their toilets, .some feasted on the re markable beauty of both couples, there were others who ever had a jjenduint for the myUrious, and ha been vastly icteiested in the romance of the Count their emotions were a mixture of ad i- miration and wonder at th way af fairs had turned oat, but those who knew them best, knew that they were nia-riage of the strongest ties, that J .1 1 . . 1 r 1 t . . ru,c'u"V UV4 uaa placed SCIENCE AND ARtT 5, 1874. its holy seal upon the Vows thus taken, J t'"1 una inns laicen, Jt!.e vanity and pomp that often -1 .t j- . . . . takes trie most active par in man v t . t i -(-- . j-: nu5 in nunv UM r,o0i W ii ,h;.' - ., rar nntir irt. e : .t . . . .

We will pass over tbcpalnful part ing, last lingering embrace, and think only of two hearts who bad found a sure resting, place new more to be tossed by contending emotions of dis trust in themselves or the ruck by which they had anchored. And the separation was more easily borne by the dear ones left behind when they saw from foreign p&pera such complimentary accounts of la belle America, and received long let ters so full of love and happiness, and more graphic discriptions of thoir pre Bentyion and entertainment. And think not my fair readers that their chief pleasure consisted in all this grand show and parade, tho, grat ifying in a high degree, as "variety is the ppice of. life, but it ws nought, compared to all those good and noMc qualities that beautify and adorn the human character, as in their cases and after so much p-jblio disipation, the delightful peace and harmony that reigned supreme in their hearts and home circles made them a fixture in all cases where stability of Character was a principle. Young ladies have but little idea of the impoliteness and bad ( -flirt of the slang phrases often used in so-called ik lite society. An exchange says, in a word of advice to any who are partially or w holly addicted to it : 1 " You have no idea how it sounda to ears unused or averse to it, to hear a young lady say, when she Li asked if she will go with you to some, place, Not much !' or, " if requested 10 do something she docs not wish, to hear her say, 1 Can't see it !' t; Not long ago I heard a young mL-s, who is educated and accomplished, in speaking of a young man, say she in tended to go for him r And, when her sisr asked her assistance at some work, she answered, Not for Jte T 11 Now, young ladies of unexception able character and really good educa tion fall into this habit, thinking it shows smartness to answer back in slang phrases j and they soon slip flippantly from their tongues with a saucy pertners that is neither lady-like nor - becoming. ' I bet,' or ' you bet, is bad enough among men who are trading horses or land ; but the contrast is startling and positively shocking to hear those words Lssue from the fips of a young lady. They seem at onca to surround her with the rougher association of men's daily life, and bring her down from the pe destal of purity to their own coarse level." . "WiistcMl Hours. Oh, how many of these upon the record of our past ! How many hoars wasted, worse than wasted, ia frivolous conversation, useless employment ; hours of which we can give no account, and in which we benefited neither ourselves or others. There are no such hours in the busiest lives, but they make up the whole sum of the lives of many. Many live without accomplishing any good ; squander away thfr time in petty, tri fling thing, as if the only object in life t.JL 111 were to kill time, a if tho mhIi m not 'a place for probation, but our abid- mg rf sij rtco. We do not value time as we should, but let many golden hour I C pass by unimproved. We loiter during the daytime of Ufe, and ere we know it the night draws near when no man can work." Oh, hours misspent and wasted I How we wish we cuuld live them over a-aiu.

From tb Chiiatfan Sea THE SUN FLOWER A PIIEVRN. .... TIYE. OF CHILLS, T ' P'. Wjt. B. Wnxnxs-Po.r Sir: I wish to call the attention pf your readers to the propriety of plant ing the Sun Flower, as a preventive of thill and fever in the fall months. -Undoubtedly there are some localities intho country where ch.ll and fever prevail in the autumnal months. The' Sun Flower has been tried on the" Pon tino marshes in Italy, in the Nether lands and Belgian with remarkable success. . It has recently become known that the Chinese have prac ticed the planting of the San Flower as a prophylactic in their malarious districts for a thousand years.' They should be planted liberally around tho dwelling and out hooa so as to T-rni a thick grove. The Sun Flower is prolific of seed which are exceeding rich in oil, and makes tho best kind or food for poultry. This it worthy of trial. The writer hss personal know ledge of the beneficial results Tom the Sun Flower Let it be tried as itccits nothing to do so, Yours, W. The Stars. Here is a beautiful thought of Thonus Carlisc: W hen I Raw at jhc stars tlu-y look down uion me with pity from there serene and ni lent space like ryes glistening with tears, over the little lot of men.
