UNDER THE APPLE TREE. Slightly bent forward, her hand elasped in her lap, and her buck lying unheeded on Ilia bench beside her, Mar garet Yoedford sat thinking. Aa en sier attitude would have computed with the earnestness of her thoughts. She did not evei unties that tbe rays of the ulteriionn sun had gone beneath the outstretched limbs of the anple treo, and were full upon her. She had come out to thn orchard to read the story of tho life of those born in the authoi'g brain, and hud con.o in stead upon a new scene iu the reul drama of her own life. It was certainly through no fault of her that Alfred Carson had there sought her out and poured iiito her w willing ears tho passionate story of his love, and begged her fur ever so littlo iu re turn. She had checked him ngain and again ; told him that she had no love to gi"e ; that she feared the cipacity fur iove had died within her ; been frittered away is a miserable round of Q.rULioi.s of fashionable society. Uf course s(:e said she felt honored by the love of so nood and true a man", would value his fi lenrlsl ip, if she might still have i; ; but, fur his love, she could rfTer no turn. "Di you luve another? ' he bud ea gerly asked. "No," she said, hesitatingly, aod thcu more decidedly, "co; 1 Imve many frieads whnm I love and honor as friends, but there is no one to whom I could give that love which would make us both content." Then came youth's eager nnd elo quent plea for hope hope that some day the devoted love ho tffjitd might fied a return, ' No," she said, firmly, and Alfred felt lhat the answer was fi al, and with a choakioi! in his tlir.mt be turned urn! went slowly down the hill. Aud Margaret sat thinking. Now lhat the had spoken the irrevocable word, she q'leried of herself why she med have given it. Why not have said "ye" us well? Alfnd Corson loved her. Ho offered her a homago no womau could receive unra veJ. He was good and hind ; had wealth and social position. He could have kept her in the circle in which she had always moved, and gie her the luxuries custom had made necessaries. Why not hae accepted hi .u ? Simp ly becat e she cotd Dot love him, nud instinctively revolted from the ilea of spending h r whi le l.f4 wi h him. She pitied him. Bat she did nut fear that t'tc w und she had inflicted w; 3 beyond cuie. She bad lived t"0 long in the world nnd society fr that. She had ser.t other lovers away j st as biaken.hent'ti d as he, nnd had alterw ird congratulated them us huppy bride Croons, while t! oy stood b.siilo tlm'.r biides, and wondered in their hearts how they could ever have cold, heart less Margaret Woodfurd. Yet such scenes were painful. Siie was not a ci quett'e simply a belle. Society cxp'.ctcd of her that she would smile, aud she smiled ; that she should be charming, and it was easy to obey ; that bhe shone resplciiJent, adding mirth to beauly, and wit to mirth, and ei j yed her power. It' giime were d izz'ed, and would fain cime nearer, she made them feel that her brightness was that of winter sun shine, light without warmth, and they went away with heavy hearts, but soon comfo: ted themselves with the th iught that lh"V had been duzzled with au icicle, wie Knew belter, Out was uoi weak e .ouoli to break a delusion that gae the. n comfort. Tliiaj interview had stirred her deeply, and annoyed her j ist a littlf. fjtie l a t intended to make this country visit a season of quiet and rest Why should Alfred Carson hate remembered nu (li invitation of her aunt's at.d followed ker? She did tint mind llalph Wen! wotlh's coming. He knew tho valua f rest, and would bother her with no ro maticp. l?;!side, he had a right there Lie wus like a soi' in her Aunt Went. worth's house, bung her dead husband's favorite nephe. Ralph was a flcasanter sulji'ct for thought than the painful i terview she had just passed, so she let hi rself think of him. 5he remembered when he, too, was full uf romance, full of bright hopes nnd plans for a brilliant future. He, too, had bowed befure ber charm', and received the same answer Alfred Carson had just got. That was alien Margaret was In the very flood of her second year in s ci ty, and keenly alive to tho j 'js of her tii uinphaut reign. Ni, indeed, she bud thought, she would not settle down to a quiet, humdrum life with Iia'ph Wcutirotth, and belp Wai carry out his adJ nations of diiing good, and reform ing society, and all that. Rilpb bad pot over it. All ni do, she thought. But he is a very different man from what be was in those days. He was rather giving to sneering at things than trying to change them. She doubled if he were changed for the bet ter; he was more like herself. He had "done" society, and kuew all about it. He seemed to have fnrgotten his Q lixntic notions about "reform," unless he expected to make a reform in pol itics Margaret wandered if her refusal had bad anything to do with damping the glowing enthusiasm he had brought back from college. Some of it must yet remain with him, for he was a hard wotker in his profession. Her rejection had not made him ber enemy. She was glad of that ; for when he would consent to bo serious, and not chaff her over her conquests, and hail her as Q lceri Margaret, he was the most interesting man she knew. He was well read, and bad helped to culti vate her taste in many ways. He seemed to value her opinions, too. He told her once th t when she grew tired of ruling puppets, she might, with her pen, instead of her fan, for a sceptre, rule man and women. Sitting thus she did notice that the object of her thoughts stood before ber, until bis shadow full upon her face. She looked up started, and fur a'rao ment flushed with confusion. "Hail to OjiecHl" was his solution. "Was ever queen before who made sub jects but to turn them adrift?" His tone and manner grated UarsMv on her present feelings, and she made uo answer. ' Have yon inscribed your new victo ry on your banner?" he asked. "I do not understand you, sir," she answered, haughtilv, "You don't 1 Weli, that w funny. Da you supp'so I am not familiar enough with your archery 'o know when the animal has been struck? Come now. Miss Margaret, don't play the innocent with me. I met Carson going down tho hill, and one glance showed what was the matter with him "Th9 kins of France, with forty thousand men. Went up tho hill and then camo down ngaui." "Come, don't mar your victory by inuiirning over the wounded." "Mr. Wentwnith, I had a right to ex pect a better opinion from you. It' you have not enough respect for me to re finin liom uttering such thoughts, I have at least enough self-respect uot to stay and listen to them I" saying which Margaret swept away with the mien ol an offended goddess, llalph was struck dumb with aston ishment. He had beati chaffi ig ber for years about her cm quests, why should she Aire up now? Ha watched her as she went dowu the hill, and then lighted a cigar and sat down on the bench sho had j is', quitted to think the matter over. "Had a right to exprct a better opin ion from me. Well, she must care enough about my good opinion to maTse it a matter of speculation, an) bow; may be nfter all . "15 t, pshaw 1 I am doac with that. l'n played the stricken deer once, and don't 1 ke the character." Anil impatiently flinging away his ci gar to cmphas'z? the conclusion, It tip! went to fi.id deversion for his mind by occupying his bauds in gathering up tho croquet implements before it was dark. Shouldering them, he slatted home, but as he approached the apple tree he saw Miss Woodfoid just stooping to pick up the book she hud left behind ki her naftv flight. lie hunied up nt once to get hij disa greeable duty of apnlog'zing over and plui ged at once into it with : "Miss Margaret, I did not think you would take what I Said so seriously. I ought to have had sense njoiigh to know ynu would bo in no humor for j kiwg alter such a scene. You were right to expect a better opinion from cue." "I ought not.to have been si hasty," she ansored. "I've oftea let you say such things unchecked, but I had just been thinking of" "Of what, Margaret ?" Of myself and of you. Of how we b )th have changed sii.ca wa fi. -it knew Uich other. I was lliu king you under stood uie, ad saw something belter in me Ih n others do. I though', per haps, ) nt meant what you said about my comiag to rule men and wjnicn 'la s' caj of puppets, and well, no matter. I was jast flattering myself that some body did not think me a heartless, dir. olous fool, und your words showed ine I was mistaken, that was all." They were both sitiinj on the bench now. The tone of utter wenr'mcss, and almost despair, ih which Margaret said "that was all," pierced Ralph's very heatt. It poured the oil of tender pity on the smoldering fires of his old luve, and it burst out ogaiu into a fierce, con summing flame. He had .held aloof from this proud, self-sustained woman because her pride lay crumbled at her feel, by thoughtless unfeeling words uf his. Ho trembled beneath the power of the mighty ftcling lhat surged back again into his heart, and cried : "0;i, Margaret I Margaret I were 1 naiti to offer you my lote, uld you again refuse i" ''Would it be tbe samo love, halphf she asked with an eager look in ber eyes. WELDON, K C, THURSDAY, MAY 8, 1879. "The same, as nearly as I am the same," he answered. "It would be a man's lute instead ef a boy's passion, a lovo of head aud heart founded ou re spect and congenial tastes, and sanctified by common sense, and above all else, it woull be Intel Margaret, love I Will yott accept it?" His very eagerness mado his utter ance thick and rapid, but Margaret un derstood. "Accept it ; I love you have alwa I lovr'd ynu I Oh, IU ph. I am weary, and at last I kavo found rest." THE ROCK BESIDE THE SEA. ' Come, now, sweet that there is some one cousin, ' confess of whom you think a great deul." "Why, Carl, why should I rot tell you? If I thought very much of nnyoie ynu don't .suppose you would be iu ignorance very lung, do you?" The above conversation took placo between Carl Henderson nnd his cousin, Joyco Martin. They were sitting on a large flit reck just by the edge of the wuter, aud were looking out over the ocean, Thrso cousins resemble etch other a great deal; they both had auburn hair and daik blue ryes, fiucly cut lips and broad white brows. Joyce was an orphan, and was living with her undo, John Henderson, who was a widower with two children, Carl and Maud, who were as different iu disposi tion as it was possible fur two people to be. Cail was loved by every cue. and gained friends wherever he went. Maud was haughty and overbearing, and every one was afraid of her. Joyce had been there two years, and had not known many hours spent in Maud's company, Carl wag her favorite, and they had passed many pleasant divs together in tho place where we find them now. Carl had been gazing steadily sea ward for a long time, when he . suddenly sprang up, aud exclaimed, "There is to be a storm to-night, Joy." Ho ran to tho home for a telescope, and was back before J iy could awaken from her surprisp, lor sho well knew what these storm were, and her fair cheeks were fairer still when Carl told her a ship was coming in, for slie thought lhat many souls would perhnps that night meet their Judge; and, sick at heart, she turned to go home. It was night, and, suro enough, the ship hnd struck on the very rock where Joyce und Carl had been sitting. All of the crew and passengers had been saved, but the noble ship was lost. The hotel was lull, and they were c-ipg to bring one man to Mr. HendcrsonS house. So Carl said, as he came riding on in advance. Maud raised a perfect hurricane of expostulations, but it did no good, for the sufferer was at the door, and when he was brought in, Joy saw his (5a le face, and silently thanked God that she could help him. Summer and winter were past, and the noble, daik-haired, dark-eyed voy ager had been gone fr.m Mr. Hendcr son a a mm th. lie nail taken away more than lie brought, for be had now Joy's hcait, and also her premise that on his return she would be, as he said, the Joy and pride of his life. In one short summer Joy had left girlhood, and ttepped npnn the thre h IJ of womnnhood. She had t'iven her hand some I over all ht r Inart ; she was bright, sparkling and happy, os was her nature and when Carl tensed ber about her devotion to a man she had known so short a time, she would blush ni.d say lovingly, I can trust him, Carl, nud 1 am tin pot " Hot it did nut need the word to tell that she was happy. 1 he letters upon which Jov bad tie reuded so much during Guy Waters' absence suddenly stopped, aud Joy began to graw pale and weary, looking, 1W she always ixctised herself by say ing that possibly he had started f n i j lumey and could not write. Every day sho would sit ou tho rock beside the scushore, and sadly muso of ber absent lover. One day she was siting there, feeling unusually sad, and br-and-by com iiicuccd repealing sufily to herself: "Come back, my ocean rovor, romo I 'J hiiu'n josi una piaco lor me Till 1 can Ki'otit thy swift Balo huiuo My loi o melt by tho sea." s she finished those expressive Unci two warm hands wire laid g ' t y over her eyes, and she sprang up with a scream of terror that soon turned to a cry joy, when she saw who stood behind her : for sho knew there would bo no more wailing on the rock by the sea for her ocean rover bad coma back bhe sprang into uis arms, and was lulded in one long embrace.

He who "puts the best foot forward" in life is sure to leave way marks be hind, that others will be pr ud to follow ; bis "footprints in the sands of lime" will be always recognized aud re spected.

Captain Roscoe Uurke, of the steamer Henry Clay, plyii'g between Cincin nati and the Wabash, related to me the following, which 1 deem worthy ot pre serving in print : Down on tho Mississippi, near ht.

To those who are attached to tbe pipe it may be a matter of interest to know how.thair lust puff or draught of smoke may be os fresh as tho first. It is well known, that smoking in the usual manner, the last portion of the tobacco becomes damp from tho heated presence of nil or nicotine drawn from the heated tobacco above which causes a sickeuing and uauscatiug effect bitter to tbe taste, and unpleasant aud unhealthy as' com pared with the first half ef a well filled pipe. A contemporary has found the following to be effectual in giv'ng a good, fresh smoke Irom fint to last. riuce a small quantity of tobacco In tbe bottom of the bowl, light it, and when well afire, fill tbe pipe, and before each draught, give a light pull outward through the stem, which causes the to bacco to burn upward, all below beiop consumed. This is a sensiblo way of smoking the time honored pipe, THE BaiGHSirjTFlSuMANITY. There are good men everywhere. There aro men whe are good for foudu8S' Bake. In obscurity, in retirement, beneath the shadow of ten thousand dwellings, scarce ly known to tho worlJ, and never asking to bo known, there are too 1 uicd; in ad versity, in poverty, uruid temptations, amid nil t ic seventy ol earthly trials, there are good nun whose lives shed briijlitnest upon tbe dark clouds that surround them. Hu it true, if we must admit the sad truth, that many aio wroni,ind persist in Using .wrong; Hint many arc lalte to every holy trust, and (aiil lissto every hely afJec- tion; that many aro coldly selflsh, and meanly sensual vta, culd and dead to every thing that is not wrapped up iu the veil ol rhisny appetites. Ro it so, but we thank Him It Is not all that we are obliged to believe. No; thore are true hearts amid the thronj of the false and the faithless. There are warm and generous hearts', which the cold atniosphero ol surrouudin" ee lishncss never chillf; snd eves, unused to weep for personal sorrow, Tf'. i:h oltea sveifltw with sympathy lor tho snriows ol otheis. i cs, there ure good men snd true men; we thank them for what they arc Our Lord from ou high d th bless them, and he uivctb his atiaelB charge to keep their; aud uuwhero in the holy records are there words mure pre cioui or strong than those in which It is written that he loveth th se righteous ones, ,i:ci) men utc there Let not their pre cious virtues he distrusted.
