He has looked fre quently toward you. Has he? Who is it? 'I cannot tell. ' I have not Been him.' 'Suppose you look ?' 'I prefer not. I came to see the play. Is not Helen Fausit superb ?' ; 'So, so. I wish you would tell me "who the gentleman on the left is. I am sure he knows youand he ia strikingly hand some.' ; 'At present the stage interests me; Besides, if men are rude enough to stare -at strangers, there is no occasion for us to imitate them 'Your ladyship harno euriosity 'Not any; , I exhausted" it some time ago.' ' ' ' ' Her ladyship was not telling" the truth ; she was intensely curious, but it pleased her at the time to pique the Honorable Selina Dorset That strange sympathy which makes us instantly conscious of a familiar glance, even in aero wded build ing, had solicited her regard just as Se lina had advised, her. of it. If she had not been asked to Took toward her left, she would probably have done so; as it was, she resolutely avoided any move ment in that direction. The play was finished in a tumult -of applause. Lady Kate Talbot forgot everything in her excitementtiind as she stood up, flushed and trembling, she inadvertently turned toward' the, left. Instantly she recognized a presence with which she ought to have been familiar enough. . The gentleman bowed with an extreme reepect. Lady Kate acknowledged the courtesy in a manner too full of aston lishment to bp; altogether gracious, and ' the elaborate politeness of the recogni tion was not softened by any glance im plying a mors tender intimacy than that of mere acquaintance. - My lady was silent all the way home, and for some reason Selina was not dis posed to interrupt her reverie. It did not seem to be an unpleasant one. Kate's face had a bright flush on it, and her eyes held, iu them a new light a light that resembled what Selina would have called hope and love, if my lady had not been already married, and her , destiny apparently settled. 'Selina, when yon nave got rid of all that satin and lace come to my room; I have something to say to you.' " ; t 1 Bha vWas ? speedily unrobed, and with heir long black hair hanging loosely over her pretty dressing-gown, she sought my lady's room. ' Lady Talbot Bat in a dream-like stillness, looking into the bright blaze on the hearth. She scarcely Btirred as Selina took a large chair be side her, and scarcely smiled when she lifted one of her loosened curls and said, 'What exquisite, hair you have, Kate 1 True golden - . Yes, it ia- beautiful. I know that, of course.' : Of what are you thinking so intenly?' Of x the gentleman on our left to-, night. . 'Ah ! Who is he ? He seemed to know you. . .

'I presume in the left wing of this mansion. I notice there are more lights than usual in it to-night. His apart ments are there.' jv 'Now, Kate, do tell me all, dear. You know I love a romantic love-affair, and I am sure this is one, 'You were never more mistaken, Sa lina. There is no love at all in the af fair. That is the secret of the whole sent for me to his stndv. I had known for months that he was dyinsr. He was the only creature that I had to love, and I loved him very tenderly. . I must add, also, for it partly explains my conduct, that the idea of disobeying him in any thing had never presented itself to me as a possibility. This night I found with him" his life-long friend, the late Lard Talbot, and also the present lord, my husband. I was a shy, shrinking girl, without any knowledge of dress or society, andveiy timid and embarrassed in my manners. Then my father told me tbat it was necessary for the good of both houses that Richard Talbot and I should marry; that Richard had con sented, and that I must meet a few friends in our private chapel at seven o'clock in the morning a week afterward. Of course these things were told me in a very gentle and considerate manner, and my dear father, with many loving kisses, begged me as a last favor to him to make no objections ' And what did Lord Richard say ?' I glanced up at him. He stood near a window looking out over our fine old park, and when he felt my glance he colored deeply and bowed. Lord Talbot said, .rather angrily, 'Richard, Miss Esher waits for you to speak Then Lord Richard turned toward me and Eaid something, but in such a low voice that I did not catch its meaning. My son sayd you do him a great honor and pleasure,' explained Lord Talbot, and he kissed mo and led me toward the un willing bridegroom. Of course I ought to have hated him, Selina, but I did not. On the contrary, I fell desperately in love with him. Por haps it would have been better f ot me if I had not. Riehard read my heart in my face, and despised his easy conquest. As for me, I suffered in that week all the torturing suspense of a timid school girl in love. I dressed myself in the best of my plain, unbecoming, childish toilets, and watohed wearily every day for a visit from my promised husband; but I taw no more of him until our wed ding morning. By this time some veiy rich clothing had arrived for me, and also a London maid; and I think, even then, my appearance was fair enough to have somewhat conciliated Richard Tal bot. But he scarcely looked at me. The . ceremony was scrupulously and coldly performed, my father, aunt and governess being preeent on my side, and on Richard's his. father and his three maiden sisters. V I never saw my father alive again ; he died the following week, and the mock ery'of our marriage festivities at Talbot castle was suspended at once in defer ence ,to my grief. Then we came to London, and my lord selected for his own use the' reft wing of this house, and po litely placed at- my entire disposal all the remaining apartments. I considered this as an intimation that I was not ex - pected to intrude npon his quarters, and 1 scrnpulously avoided every approacn to them. I knew from the first that all attempts to win him would be useless, and indeed I felt to sorrowful and hu miliated to try. During the few weeks we remained under one roof we seldom met, and I am afraid I did not make those rare interviews at all pleasant. I felt wronged and miserable, and my wan face and heavy eyes were only a re proach to him.' . 'On, wnat a monster, Kate 1 Not quite that, Selina. There were many excuses for him. One day I saw a paragraph in the Times saying that Lord Richard Talbot intended to aocom pany a scientific exploring party whose destination was Central Asia. I instantly sent and asked my husband for an inter view.1 I had intended dressing myself with care for the meeting, and making one last effort to win the kindly regard, at least, of one whom I still could not help loving. But some, unfortunate fatality always attended our meetings, and I never could do myself" justice in his presence. He answered my request at once.' I suppose he did bo out of respect and kindness; but the conse quence was, he found mo in an unbe coming dishabille, and with' my face and eyes red and swollen with weeping. I felt mortified at a prompt attention so mal-apropos, and rdy manner,- instead of being 'winning and conciliating, was cold and' unprepossessing. I did net rise from the sofa on which I had been sobbing, and he made no attempt to sit down beside me or to comfort me. I pointed to the paragraph and asked if it was true. ' 'Yes, Lady Talbot,' he said, a little sadly and proudly; I shall relieve you of my presence in a few. days. I intended Writwell to call on you to-day. with draft of the provisions I havo made for your comfort, . . . I could mske no answer.' I had thought of many kind things to say; but now, in Dis presence, x was wmjr irwwiu and dumb. He looked at me almost with pity, and said, in a low voice, Kate, we have both been sacrificed to a necessity involving many beside ourselves. I am trying to make what reparation ia possi ble. I shall leave you unrestricted use of three-fourths of my income. I desire you to make yoar life as gay and pleas ant as vou nossiblv can. I nave no fear for the honor of our name in ycur hands, draw her into a confidential mood, but she eaid, smilingly, My lord, the world supposes us to have alreaoy congratu lated each other; we need not unde ceive it She kept strictly at the distance he himself had arranged four years ogo. It was evident that if he would approach any nearer to his beautiful but long neglected wife, he must humble himself to do bo. Why should he not? In Lord Talbot's mind the reasons against it had dwindled down to one. Bat this waa a formidable one. It waa his valet. This man had known all hia master's matri monial troubles, and m nis own way sympathized with them. He waa bitterly averse to Lord Talbot's making any con cessions to my lady. One night, how ever, he received a profound snook. Simmons,' said Lord Talbot, very de cidedly, 'go and askLuly Talbot if sho will do me the honor to receive a visit from me My lady would be delighted. She was in an exquisite oostome, and conde scended to exhibit for his pleasure all her most bewildering moods. It was with great reluctance he left her after a two-hours' visit. My lady had no other engagement, and he quite forgot the one he had made to be present ut the Mar quis of Stair's wine party. The following week my lady received every morning a basket of "wonderful flowers, and a little note with them con taining a hope that she waa in good health. One morning she was compelled to say that she was not very well, and Lord Talbot was so concerned that he sent Simmons to ask if he might be permit ted to eat breakfast with her. . My lady was graciously willing, and Lord Rich ard was quite excited by the permission. He changed his morning gown and cra vat several times, quite regardless of Simmons' peculiar face, and, with many misgivings as to his appearance, sat down opponite the lovely little lady in her pale blue satin and cashmere and white laces. It was a charming breakfast, and during it the infatuated husband could not help saying a great many very sweet and flattering things. Kate parried them very prettily. Mt is well she said, 'that no one hears us. If we were not married they would think we were mak ing love. . And if we are married, Kate, why not make love, dear f We had no opportu nity before we were married 'Ah, Richard, in fashionable life wo should make ourselves ridiculous. Every one says that now our behavior is irreproachable. I should have dearly liked it when I was only a shy, awkward country girl; but now, my lord, we should be laughed at 'Then, Kate, let us be laughed at. I for one am longing for it tying for it. If 'Time shall run back and fetch the age of gold,' why not love ? Let us go back four whole years and a half. Will you, Kate ? dearest, sweetest Kate ? We should have to run away to the country, Richard. And now I think of it, 1 nave not been at issuer since we were married lov e. When such a conversation as this was prolonged for fiva hours, it was little wonder that my lord's valet and my lady's" maid received orders to pack va lises and trunks, or that the next day Esher Hall was in ft happy tumult of preparation. Love comes better late than never, and Lady Kate always told herself that she never. could have been as happy in those sweet old gardens with her lover as Ehe was with her husband. Probably they were both as perfectly satisfied as it is possible for human love to be; for, greatly to the amazement ot the fash ionable world, they not only spent the whole summer alone in their country home, but actually, when they came back to London, had the courage to ap pear, in the very height of the season, in the same box at the opera. Really, Kate says Miss Solina, 'I never was so- astonished. The gentle man on your left' ... 'Is always on my right now, dear. He will never be in the opposition again.' Harpers Wckiy. Romance verso Reality. Yesterday, in coming up the roJ, writes a traveler in Dakota, I witnessed a scene which, to a a tales man,' could not but have a melancholy, though ro mantic, a?pect. There was a bridal cou ple aboard the train. He was a pleasant, intelligent appearing young man, with evidence of a farm training and a fair education. Sho was as fair as Maud Muller the day the J udge met her in the fabled. field; of evidently far superior training to her sturdy consort, sho was one of the loveliest and brightest and gayest brunettes one may meet in years ot long-e xnded jtunta. She had a bandbox, evidently containing her sum mer hat; a guitar carefully wrapped ia an embroidered bag of a workmanship 9 exquisite as to aurely have been her own; a musio roll, a shawl strap incasing two or three of the latest novels, and all the miscellaneous, sachels and bundles with which the average young lady pos sesses herself on a pilgrimage to the seashore or on a tour to Aunt Betsey's among the rural hula. The brakeman hoarsely called, 'Fourteenth Biding There was not a building in sight save the one-roomed ix by ten ahaniy barra coon of the switchman, and the eye lost itself trying to fathom the dreary be yond. This was the stopping placd for the bride and her groom. He wa taking her to his new home, fifty miles back on the plains; but there was no one to meet them as exacted, and the thread-like trail disappeared over the horizon, five miles away, with no sign cf greeting team. It seemed like a dark revelation to the poor girl; it waa the first test of devotion to her husband and a severe one. On being lifted down from the car steps she gazed around in the utmost dismay; then, with a quick, beseeching glance into the young man's face, down which aympathetie tears were streaming, despite his evidently brave resolutions, the bride of the plains sank into his arms and sobbed aloud. The scene told its own melancholy etory, and visibly auccted the hundred or more spectators who had crowded to the platforms, as usual upon all occasions of leaving a passenger on a siding. Let us hope that the mcaeengetBfrem that far-away home finally reached 'Fourteenth Siding and that a husband's love may soon be an all-sufficient solace for that c ty-bred bride so suddenly transported to the treeless wilds of Dakota, A SpiritaalUtlr Seance. A reporter dtrcribra Lis viit to a SpirituaUflt gathering at Like Pleasant, Mass: Promptly at tight o'clock the door was closed and fastened, and Mr. Eddy seated .him elf in one of three chairs in front ot the cabinet. A gen tleman was selected frdm sooner the audience, and seated at Mr. Eddy's right. A lady sat next to the gentleman. By reqnest tho latter bared his left ana. which Mr. Eldy grasped in both his hands. A portion ot the curtain was then drawn over Eldy and the gentle man referred to, leaving the lady's hand and the gentleman a right band bare, for the purpose, as Eldy expretsed it, of forming a negative and positive current. The lights were then turned up and a venerable BnaiaanTcaccnccd Ta1gg" away vigorously on a time-worn violin. and soon a distinct sound became audi ble from behind the curtain; a guitar waa being tuned, and soon an accompa niment waa played by invisible power to the time ot the violin. The violin ceased, the music ot the guitar con tinued, and all at once the instrument was thrust oat from under tho curtain between the feet ot E Jdy and the gen tleman near him, the musio still con tinuing. Amazement was depicted on the faces of the andience. Soon a finely shaped hand was thtut from between the folds of the curtain, and Taved back and forth at the audience; bell rang. the guitar vaniahed and was next seen sailing about over the curtain; an iron ring was thrown into the cabinet. Boon Eldy uttered a sapr rersed cry, the curtain was caat aside, when, lot nothing was visible, E ldy wore the ring on his arm, and the gentleman by whom he sat swears Eldy did not let go ot bis arm once during the sceanoe, and an examination showed the ring to be solid and free of spring. No one found trap doors or panela behind the curtain, and a thorough search for soch was made. The aceance was brief, but nevertheless remarkable. The Month of September. The anniversaries ot September are quite in harmony-with the stormy sea son of the equinox, being for the zooet part of a very warlike character. The 1st witnessed General Sherman's occu pation of Atlanta. The 31 was a promi nent day in the life ot Oliver Cromwell, as that 01 ma birtu, or ins two great 1 victories at Worcester and Dunbar, and, finally, of his death. .The GJi witness ed tho capture by Lord Peterborough, in 1705, with a handful ot men, ot the strong Spanish fortress of Monjaich, till then believed impregnable. On the 8Jj, the capture of the Malakoff Tower by the French sealed the fate 01 Sobas topol, within a few days of the anniver sary of their first landing the year before. The same day, by a curious co incidence, decided the fate of Moscow, in 1812, by Marshal KutuzofTa retreat after the battle of Borodino, which was tough on the 7th. Frederick the Great's capture of Dresden, in 1756. 00 carred on the 10th. The 20th has had the two-fold reEown of the battle of Yalmy, in 1792 which changed the his tory ot Europe by checking the Austro Pru66ian invasion of France and that of the Alma, in 1854. The 231 is mem orable for Paul Jones capture of the British ship Serapis, in 1779, after one of the hardest fights on record. The 28th witnessed the investment ot York town by the American, in 1781, which brought about the surrender of Lord Oornwallis in the entuing month. In adJition to all these, this warlike month can reckon on its list the British defeat at .Still water (1777) and at Entaw Springs, (1781,) the memorable 'Sep tember massacres of the French Revo lution, several of Wellington's hardest battles in the Pyrenees, (1813,) Martha! Ney'a defeat at Dennewitz in the same year, the battles of Antietam, Chick a manga and Winchester, together with Napoleon lIL's capture at Sedan, and the consequent fall of the Second Empire. A Tropic bat little Known.. The Albanians, who have just sent a deputation to Constantinople to ask the Turkish government for the privilege of home rule, are little known to travelers, and are in many respects avety peculiar people. They are much in earnest ia their protest against the proposed trans fer of a portion of their couotty to Greece, and if the transfer be made will not be likely to submit to it tamely. They number about 2.000.COO, and call themselves Skypctars. They are not to be confounded with the Albani arho live on the Caspian sea; they are descendants 01 the ancient JJlynans, mixed with Greeks and Slavs; are halt civilized mountaineers, gentrons to their friends and vindictive to their foes. Continually under arms, they are rather robbers and pirates than cattlo raisers and agricultur ists, an they assume to be. Many eerve aa mercenaries, and these are the beat soldiers in the Turkish' army. They were ouce all Christiana; but after the death of their last chief, George Caatri olo, surnsmed Seanderlerg, and their conquest bv the Turks, moat ot them embraced Mohammedanism, and. with the true spirit of conversion, cruelly and perfidiously persecuted such of the tribes aa remained true to the old faith. The steep valleys of the Acheron in the south, forming the district ot SnU, are occupied by a powerful tribe, the Soli otes, who till their fields sword in hand, and conceal their gathered harvests in the earth. They made themselves famous bv their long and spirited resistance to Ali Pasha. The Albaniane are all be lievers in and executors of the law of retaliation, even exceeding the Oarsieias in thin. An assassin is slain by the kinsmen or friends of the victim. It they cannot find him, they kill his father, bis son, his brother or lis cousin. Adultery bears the same penally aa assassination. It a betrotked girl jilts her lover he is privileged to kill any member of her family. Hospitality is sacred. A man who wcunda or slays Lit gnest is driven from his tribe, and all communication with hia family is interdicted. He who kills a woman is forever dis hen o red, all his relatives being designated as woman- slayers. Teeac AaseHca.

On Tuesday the residents of Park Hill, a suburb of Scranton, Pa., were startled by a sudden sinking of their houses, followed .by aloud rumbling noise in the mine beneath. With great alarm they rushed into the streets, many mothers in their flight leaving their children behind them in the shaking houses. '. The cause of the commotion was the giving way of tho roof in an abandoned part of the Belle vale mine, which over a year ago waa the scene of a - similar catastrophe. . The cave-in covers an area of an acre and a half. Large fissures have appeared in a brick yard owned by the Lackawanna Iron and Coal company, and it is feared that many piles of brick will sink into the ground. The residence of the superintendent has sunk over five feet. Three other houses owned by miners have been thrown from their foundations, and the gardens are 'streaked with . fissures, while in many spots the tops ot fruit trees are flush with the rround. The wells on all sides were dried up. Terror reigns in the neighborhood, and many families have sought refuge in other sections, dread ing to remain in their houses. In London a policeman must not wear a moustache or a beard. The po licemen of that oity don't like the rule and are writing indignant letters to the papers about it. A Southern Editor on Sew England.

I knew the people to be well-to-do, but never before hsve I been so struck by tne vast aggregation of wealth. New England ia 300 years old. Its people were not, perhaps, originally more thrifty than the early settlers of Virginia and the Carolina. Bat they happened to pick a hard soil, and to encounter long win ters. They were obliged to work and to store up. Thus the habit of labor and the proc3ss of accumulation began. These have continued ever since. On the Southern seaboard short winters and an easy soil prod need the opposite results; and tne negro greatly assisted them. Slavery being gone, and time having worn the soil of the South down to a sort of equality with that of New England, may we hope that the newly developed necessities will create a new character, and, in its order, bring up the lost average ot our once more pros perous section7 I fesr not. The New Englander has a prodigious start, and, as John Happy used to say, 'A start's a start.' There is no reason why New London, for example, should not be aa great a city as New York, except that it isnt. Norfolk has advantages over either, yet, as long as our greatest city ia a sea-port, New York will be our greatest city, and that means for all time; for, struggle as the inland may, it can never overcome the disproportion which this amazing city holds over all the other commercial capitals ot the world, London not excepted. We never had a great deal of ready money in the Saulh, and what we had we squandered. We had plenty of fun, debts snd nig gers; we went in for glory; and for fifty Gajetr at the Seashore. Mr. and Mr. F. W. Stevens, of New York, fcave an elaborate entertainment, which has nver been equaled in New port. Connected with the house a mammoth pavilion waa arranged. This was divided into two spartmenU, the first being a perfect Japanese parlor, the ground being covered with Tarkish rugs. The tent waa lined with Turkey red, with Japanese psnels and pictures. This led into tho other apartment, which was seventy-five feet in diameter, and which was floored over for the occa sion. This apartment represented sun set. Gsnxeof every hue was brought into use, and it was trimmed with gilt to match. In the south end, where the orchestra was located, was a bridge of real ice, and between the cakes strings of smilax and flowers, together with seagulls and other birds, were snen. A calcium light at intervals threw its va ried rays upon the smoking ice. present ing a magnifioent spectacle. This apart ment was used for dancing. The scene st midnight was one of great brilliancy. Nearly four hundred cf the leading sum mer residents were pTosent. The floral display was of the finest. Hundreds 01 choice tropical plants were placed in every available nook and corner of both apartments. In tho middle ot the main pavilion, around the center pole, was a mammoth cave profusely gilded, and which contained ICO birds of every de scription, from a peacock in full plum age to an English sparrow. The Spelliag Ref ena. Prof. T.

Shnnee apon wntcn ignorance conferred sascUty, and to which stupidity bowl with unques tioning adoration, havo been utterly and instantaneously deaoliabel by the remorseless icoaxIaai of early English scholarship. Moreover, the character ot the advocates ot reform is something that of itself makes aa impression. To the opinions expressed by them, their abilities and attainments may not be suf ficirat to command asae&t; tut they are snfl sent to impose respect.

Ooe f retter can destroy the peace ot a family, can destroy the harmony of neigh borhoods, can unsatUe the councils of cities and hinder the legislation of na tions. He who frets is never the one who mends, who heals, who repairs evil; more, he discourages, enfeebles, and too often disables those around him, who. but for the gloom and depression ot his company, would do good work and no brave eheer. The effect npon a titive person in the mere neighborhood of a fretter is indescribable.
