Behind the dark fringe of trees crowning the summit of the island the sun was just sinking like a huge globe of lambent flame and! as it touched the top most boughs it flung a broad bar of liquid gold across the dimpled waters of the harbor to Mazie 8 feet as she leaned over the railings, the only solitary, the only sad-looking person among the gayly dressed, gayly-talking groups of the peo ple who sprinkled the pier. She had been rather a prettv girl two years ago, moire noticeable, perhaps, for a cevtain refinement, Um air of unmistakable good style which clung i about her, than for actual good looks. Now, at four-and twenty, she was simply a beautiful wo manbeautiful even without the added charm of birth and cultivation ; and she knew it. knew it as well as did any of the idle gazers on that fashionable lounge, and valued ) well, valued it rather less than she did the greenish-white pebbles glimmering through the cool water under her feet, or the fragment of seaweed flap ping idly to and fro at the will of that water. .

Will had been eager enough to "baiser," but Mazie had not even "tendu la joue; it was his turn now. She had never seen him since : and she had never told any one of her trouble. It was a very short-lived folly, as she had said, that sad little romance ; and fc was ended now. If everything else in life seemed ended too, that could not be helped. it is not the fashion to dieof a broken heart now-adays, and she could live it down. People had lived down worse things. Yes, Mazie, so they have ; but that same pro cess of ''living down" is a worse martyr' dom than many a death; and all the more that to weep over the victim is the crudest aggravation of her aufferinffs that we can offer. Mazie gave no one a chance of weeping over hers ; let fall no word which could give a clue to her sorrow. She bad a heavy cold, she said, and so she kept her room for a couple of days, and the blinds were drawn down, and a white face and swollen eyes were quite admissible even in Mrs. Jerningham's opinion. But after that she came down stairs, and took up her usual role of home and social duties, and was the same grace ful, dignified, intelligent Miss Jerningham as of old ; the same clear-eyed, court eously cheerful girl to all outward ap pearance as she had ever been ; how changed within none hut herself and God knew. People talked a little at first, and won dered why. that charming Lieutenant Travers was never to be met at the Jer ninghams' now. There had certainly been a strong flirtation between him and Miss Jerningliaiii though she seemed so proud and uniinpressible in the usual way but, after all, every one knew he had no money, and was always flirting with some one ; those sailors were so pro verbially fickle. And then some one said he had gone to sea again ; and it was suggested that Miss Jernibgham had refused him. Mrs. Jeiniugham, of Among the candidates before the Cin cinnati Convention; j&enjamin II.

Sin never could quite recollect how she had got home afterward and what came next, though she could remember well that, just after Will had sprung up the bank Master Jack had leaped on the foremost miss of an approaching girls' school, splashing her with water from his (ail, and she (Mazie) had to go forward and apologizq' in her pretty, lady-like manner fur the accident. She could remember that triths, and also a very red pimple on the very ilarge nose of a bald-headed old gentleman who sal opposite to her at dinner that day ; but everything else, thought, feeling, and surroundings, seem ed like one dark blank to her until she found-hetself lying face downward ,on the hior of her room, with the door bolted, and t lie moon looKing curiously in on iub tempest lof sobs and tears which was tear- ins: her slight frtme with tho violcuce of its anguish. He was all she had, her own, her love, her husband in all but name, the very heartspijing of her existence, and she had torn herself away from him. No one, not even herself, could have told how deeply and passionately she had loved that idta, good foir-nothing young sailor, with his handsome face and winning manners. She only -learned it now when he was gone frpm her for ever ; learned it, as we learn most things in this world, too late Are all women such contradictions, I wondef 7 Do all of them know th ir minds, ;or rather their hearts for when do mind and heart go together in a wo man as litlle as Mazie Jerningham ? No girl could have appeared more cold, more riassionless, more unsym pat hizingly hard than Miss Jerningham when reason ing cool j' with, and as cooly dismissing her hiving, passionate, half desperate suitor ! Now, 'that prudent, sensible wo man of the world was rocking herself to and fro, her eyes blinded with tears, her face, her hair soaked in the same scalding rain, jier hands twisted together, her breath coming in fast, strangling sobs, her white ilarted tips quivering with hopeless i' ' I l gasps ' of sneer uearioroKeu misery.

So wagged the tongues for a few days ; and then the subject was forgotten for some more interesting piece of gossip, and Mazie was left to herself. Not utterly heartbroken after the last few weeks. There was a great element of justic3 in this girl's character ; and before that stern goddess Will's wrathful speech- es and despairing threats melted away, and were condoned on the score of the nrovocatioo which had evoked them. "If he had not loved m, lie would not have been so angry," said Mazie to herself, and the thought brought a sudden warm pulse to the poor bruised heart, a soft mist over the painful brightness of the brave gray pves. His last words, too. how could she forget them she, a woman, and : woman so passionately in love 1 Com ruon sense and logic would have told her at once that it was absurd to lay tress on one word more than another, when both are uttered in-a moment of great excite nieut ; but then girls are seldom noted f either extra common sense or logic ; am well for us they are not! for on the strength of that one sentence, "I love you better tlmri nnv living woriian. and I'll win VOU J n ' , yet some day,' 'Mazie quietly consecrated her whole life, heart, and soul, present and fniurp. to waitin? for that day.

TO UK CONTINUCD j Canal Rings and iirreducing the taxes. The Convention recognized him as a re former in the broadest sense, and nnmi. nated him for thai reason. Reform is the text of the platform, and the candi date who stauds upon it personifies the principle. ; i he two Conventions stand as wide apart on this issue as do the House of Representatives and the Senate in regard to retrechment of the public expenditures. Hays represents nothing but the nega tive compromise of hostile factions. At a great crisis, when statesmanship, expe rience, and wisdoni are demanded, to res cue the country from the ruinous results of (jrrantism, he is a passive instrument in the hands of corhipi leaders, without capacity or power of self-assertion to do right, even if disposed to act in that di rection. On the other haud, Gov. Til den is a positive force in reform, a leader able to inaugurate and to execute it ou the grandest-scale, independent; courage ous, clear-headed, cool and determined upon a line of policy which must not only bring relief to the suffering interests, but will restore the Government to its ancient purity and simplicity. Were he Presi dent to day, and "only for the rest of Grant's expiring term, he would econo mize sixty or seventy millions of dollars, raise the public credit, revive confidence, and make every citizen once more proud ot his country. 1 he people will see in the action of the two Conventions the points of contrast between the two parties. Under Hayes, the present system of plunder would be nevitably perpetuated, because it is the ife of the party and the nourishment of its leaders, uuder lilden, the Rines would be crushed, public stealing would be stopped, and reform would be a reality N.

The platform is an elastic platform, suited to any colored spectacles that a man wants to look through at it.

Wjlio ever suspected Joe Hawley of humor? Who ever dreamed that rol- icking fun lurked in the bosom of worthy Mcpherson of Pennsylvania? Who would have thought that Ax tell of New Mexico, and the saturnine Dineley of Maine, and that eminent reformer Cham berlain of jSouth Carolina, and ihe other gentlemen of the committee on Republi can good resolutions were all of them mad , wagrat heart, ouly waiting their opportu- i nijy to cobcoct.and perpetrate a stupeu- - dqus 'jpke. ; ft, Tie opportunity came last Wednesday. As the sly fellows met around the com mittee room table and recoguized each tle kindred; spirit of fun in the others eye, h4r they must have held their sides and struggled hard against the laughter that wiould hiave prematurely communicated their purpose to the Convention outside. I The extraordinary piece of literary composition, beginning with divine Prov idence, and ending with President Grant, Mtbich Gen. Hawley, to all outward ap pearances as sober as a judge brotlght firth and calmly read to the Convention aa its platform, is the result of the innocent co aspirings of those amiable humorists. Look at the rare humor iu every para- graph, the delicacy of the wit, the demure but irresistable playfulness ofthe pream- ble, how exquisite it all is in construe lion, how powerful the satire, how absurd the sudden contrast, how judicious the employment of irony, and how the inter- j est is so skillfully sustained that it amuses to the very Jast clause.- - Who but these merry dogs could have Originated that fifth plank, which put the Republiban party oiTTecordL as be lieving that invariable rule for appoint ments to office should have reference to Ihe? honesty, fidelity, and capacity of the appointees?" "- i ! Who but thorough humorists wouU Jiavc congratulated the Republiain party bh! the ''speedy thorough, and unsparing prosecution and punishment ot all who Ibetray official trusts ?" Some of the funny imen on the committee had undoubtedly Iread o. tie ingenius policeman of St. .Petersburg, who kept a private thief of his own. i On dark nights the policeman. 1 would take out his thief, attached no a 'long rope which gave him tether enough 0 to commit burglaries. If caught at, the game, which occasionally happened, the policeitau claimed great credit for having captured aud tied up a rascal dangerous to society; while if not caught, which hap pened: much oftener, the policeman took the HionSi share of booty. - Whatj convulsions of Tialf-8ttppressed laugiiterjmust have shaken the table on which; tlie funniest of mon wrote words that! committed the Republican party to ftontinueid ooDOsitjon to fand grants and Uow t&ey must nave chuekjei as they endowed all men with ceiftWnJinalieuaUe rights, among which are life.jliberty, and the pursuit of uappi. nesi,!' and then proceeded to push out the plank on which the iutrusive Mongo Uanj will be invited to walk overboard, How they must have roared ivhcn they 'sincerely deprecated all sectional icelipg and! tendencies.' all liujr him artificial spirits, and afterward he dined and went to the French play with the same friend; and after that Well, I don't think we ueed follow him any further. He had told Mazie that she would scud him to the devil, and, therefore, it was probably her fault if he took a long step in I lat direction the same night ; or if, while she was praying and wrestling with 8orr4w and love and remorse for her lost lover, that lover. was making a fool, and worse tbaui a fool, of himself somewhere !-.!
