CLOUD OR SUNSHINE. Hand in hand they c:imo through the long chestnut avenue. The sun, fad ing in the wi'Sl, bathed tlio lovely for est in its mellow light, faintly, und Irmn the far distance, came tho soft notes of the nhippnnrwill. Iodoetl, it settned a perfect fairy land of beauty and quiet, yet Alice liaxtcr and 11 bert (Jrofton heeded not the beauty of tho scene J his heart too full of sadness, hers of happi ness in this new conquest. llobeit Orofton, the otily son of the village pastor, ti young mat, of rare at tainments, fine education and great per sonnl attractions, had at an curly age graduated from college, and in accor dance nith his own wishes and the hearty co-operation of his friends, was pursuing the study of medicine, looking forward as many a young man had done before him, ns many arc still doing, to the time when he should become uu M. 1). and build a snug little nest lor him self aud the one who should become his wife. Alice li.ixtcr, the only child of a well-to-do merchant living in the city joinir.g the little village of h. was very bcattti fut, but it was a cold beauty. II it were in hurmony with the laws of creature order, one might doubt if she had a heart, secii.g so rarely an exhibition e! real feeling. Hive you never looked upon a bed of rare fl 'Wers, where the weeds had so intertwined themselves as to have exhuu-ted nil tho siveet possi bilities of the delicate fliwer? S.i iu Alice's life there wcro grand possibili ties, fine traits of character, but not carefully guarded, her life promised only a harvest of weeds. "I know, Alice, I can only give you tho lovu of an honest heart," said Rob ert, as they walked homeward, "but sometime sometime " the words died on his lips as he added, "l know lluo tineton can ci'O you. mere. Every thing that money could buy would be yours; but would you could you be linppv with such a man?" "Why not, llibcrt? lie has many ti nes pictured to mo his elegant home on the Hudson und he would choose me from all the world to reign there. I am ure ho loves me; he sighs so deeply and looks so sad when I run away from him, inattentive t his blend ing," she said, coquettishly. "Alice, I leave this matter for your consideration. You know c.y ardent love for you, my strong desire that you may sometime reciprocate this love, and come tu the nru s that will shield you forever. I sail for Ejio,io next week, and as business takes mo at once to Ntw York, I mu-.t bid you g iod-oight ae.d good-by. 8 imetimo I shall return, and then 1 shall be a happy man if I can have made rnjself more worthy your love. Should you marry I must not think of it, darling." This sudden announcement of his de parture made Alice very silent, and be fore they real zed it they had reached her home, there being little said on cither side, llobert at once advised Mr. and Mrs. l?axtor of his proposed journey ; assured them that the one hope in his heart tin-ugh lain! kept him happy. Whatever came, his life should mean something. At any ia e, to use the w rdi of lubert Uniwning.) ho would "cr.ru a grave." dood-bye ere exchanged, good wishes given, nnd llobert Oiofton had gone. For the weeks that followed, Alice hardly knew if she missed him or not ; the days draegru heavily, yet, tu the nresence of lltmtim'toii she seemed to forget all this. On a lovely suiununer evening many weeks after Robert's departure, Hun tington's elegant carriage stood at the door. A'icc, donning her j unity bat, exclaimed, "l!a 1 ha 1 it's too laughable for you to riept'Ct me to think tho same thought twice; why, you know what tho village people say of me 'She' a" ("Wait until I can hold you don t jump, now l " 'She's a heartless flirt 1' Now let me philosophize.

Say yes ; look mu in the eyes und promise. " 'She gives a sldo planeo, and looks duwn llewaro, binvnrn 1' " huuiuicJ Alice, indifferently, WELDON, N. Huntington colored, then grew pale. She had never bcfoie seen him angry, and now she almost feared him ; and indeed it was not strange. He drove hastily homeward, leaving her nt her own door with cold good-night. Aliue hud not realized until then what she was doing. Sho felt sorry ; yet, would he not embitter her life by thesu exhibi tions of wrath? Could sl'.o ever bo suffi ciently on her guard ai to avoid them? J) not imagine that Huntington had resnlvud ti renounce Alice. O.i the contrary, ho had become determined to win her, even should it cost him his honor, which, I bin -' to sty, was not considered by the world of much value, Being of a nature i."..i;)eiious a -id li.ingh ty, he felt most keenly the embarrass ment of his situation, In the meantime, news came weekly from K ibert, cheering indeed to the watchful, 1 ivinr; parens-, for ho h i 1 en tered a hospiial in Leipsic, where ho hail not only distinguished himself by lih skill as a .surgeon, but had also tvn:i the high esteem of his professional associ ates, and the love of the s.ull'.Teis, for whom ho felt the keenest sympathy. His loiters to Alice had been cheerful and kind. Alter some months no lei ters reached her. Sue could not doubt Robert. Could Hustiiigton he so base ns to iil'cept the letters? Many times, when Alice had met liirn or when he seemed nervous and ah-ciil-minded, anJ duiiag one of his calls he had said, "Alice, see no pleading for joar love. Cm you not appreciate my de votion and entrust yourself to n:e for ever? That Chixton, Croslnn what ever it may be I hear has forgotten nil about you. I undcrstuoj you do not hear from Lim. Reflect, before it ii too late; what can he give yn'.? L ivc in a Cot may be very fine to talk about, but I agree with the poet, when he unys, '' 'Your love in a eottayo Is hungry,'' ' "Mr. Huntington," said Alice, with dignity, ' if once your weak!), your flat tering assurances 'l-.'ed me, row your bareness re.iels me ; s'onping to so low a course, hoping thereby to gain my love. In the lull packngn vo-t acci dentally left here soni': evenings ego, I found this.

Infuriated by having his guilt discov ered, anil by the one whom he loved as deeply us his capabilities would permit, Huntington left the homo of Alice never to return. Letters were at once sent to ll ibcit, and Alice's was not the least urgent for his return, I est: asjuie you. She wrote : ' l was naughty, I know, but t will be so good forever forever.

HOW AMANDA WAS WON COUUAOK AND TACT l'lllMi: NECKSSIT I KS ASK ING TIIK OLD FOLKS. As wo have already said, many thous ands of aching hearts aud ill-assorted marriages would be prevented if only voting lovers had courage nnd tnct. The other day a young gentleman, who has long boo enamored of ono of the fail est daughters of West Monroe street, but who has met with scant courtesy from her parents, suddenly hit upou the great discovery that asking a girl's lather's consent was au idlo formulity. "Ry Jo," ho said, after thinking the mutter over in all its various nspects. "it is the old woman who is tho power be hind tho throne. O.ice yon get her on your side you uro all tight, and besides you are saved from any annoyance by your mother-in-law, for she can't go and say to your wife, -if you had taken my advice,' or, 'I always told you so.' l!y J i. I'll go for '.ho old woman." So, dressing himself in his gay attire, the young man went up, and after explain ing matters to his sweetheart, induced her to call her mother, (Her frther had gone to 1js Muiues on btisi nes". ) "Well, sir 1" said tho old lady with icy coldness, "what do you wish tt) say to me?" "I come, Madam," said the heroic youth, "to demand the hand of your lovely daughter in marriage." "Remand a fiddlestick 1" said the old lady, with asperity. "Ananda is too young to be married yet, and if she wasn't and there wasn't but ono hus band it) the world, nnd you were he I'd say 'Na-iwl' Dj you understand that?" "In n mcnMirR I apprehend your meaning," said the young lover, while Amanda, who was listening behind the folding doors, whispered to herself that ma was real mean, nno felt her heart sin!; ii.to her slippers ; "and I was pre pared for it. I had already seen your ht.shnnd." "Vou had eh? 1V you meai to say that that ehucklc-hcade.l clam has con sented?" "No, madam, not precisely. In fact he said ho would be ahenuned first. I? d, as in such matters ns these, it is always best to deal with principals, 1 thought I would see you, although your hudiaed said (hat when he said, 'No,' and put his foot down, that was uu cud ef matters iu his hotiso. I wanted to be allowed to plead my cause before you, because tho sympathies of a beautiful and clever woman still young in heart as she is in looks but alas! ho told me it would do me no good that you were prejudiced against me, nnd even if you favored niy suit your humblest solicit lines couhi not move htm." When did my husband tell you pi! this? Was ho sober quite sober? lie put hii foot down, indeed !" "About noon on Tuesday, and I never raw him more collected nnd rational. Indeed, ho was unusually mild an pensive, ned when told him of my desire to In married he said, 'Belter not ; if yen know what's good for you don't. I dare say my (laughter is very handsome and al! that kind of thing, toil site takes after her mother. I am really doing you a kindness in refusing my consent. "The snub-nosed traitor 1" said the old lady, warmly ; "well, now, I want you to understand one thing ; I am ti e patriarch of this houshold, und when my husband leaves me out of the calcula tion it's equivalent to the omission of the stiotrilien 1, denominator, quotient, divisor, dividend, multiplier nnd the one yen enry.

"Ves" m ; but your liotisband doesn't think so," "Well, when 1)0 gets back I'll just put in some of my humblest solicitations I believe that isahnt he calls them and he understands me. And I'll prove it to you, too. Amanda, como here. This is your future husband, and, if I know loysell, you'll he timrtied to him inside of three weeks.

It ras almert tno gnod to be trur, a d tho lovers had to bug each other several times during tho evening (which they spent on the same chair) to be sure it was not all a drentn. Nevertheless, the lair Amanda felt several qualms and fears when she thought of her stern fathoi's return, mil tho possibility, that tho game would be up then. Rut it wasn't. Tho old man cot homo from Res Moines lato on Thursday night, lie slept on tho sofa, and looked visibly uldcr at breakfast next morning, having a stajtled and pained expression in his eves. When tho meal was concluded he took his daughter aside and asked her if she was really sure that she loved the young man, and when she replied that he could gamble on it (or words to that e!leel he said he could no longer with hold his consent her happiness was more to him than the spectacle of vindi cati d authority, ' pn, how gnnd and kind you arc 1" fobbed tho beautiful girl, fulling upon his tiecU. "Amanda, my love," said tho author of her being, "that's all right, aud I don't bear your lover any malice, but I don' want you, my dear girl, to be lieve that your pa is a threeply double and twisted liar, fur I never said anv thin;' of t'ae suit. Bat it would do ma no good to dony it ; not if I sued him for perjury and tho jurors brought in a verdict of guilty without leaving tho box." A Kiii!-IIeiirlel old Man. A young pianist was giving concerts through the province of Germany for her snppurt, nnd to enhance bcr reputa tion she she advertised herself as a pupil of Liszt. In a town in tho interior of (letmany, where she bad announced a concert was to tako place by seeing in tho list oT arrirals and at tho very hotel where the concert was to bo givon, "M. L' Abbe Liszt." Here was a dulemma; and what to do she knew not. Her fraud would bo exposed ; sho could never give another concert; sho was ruined. Tremblingly sho snight the presence of tho great ni:uitro, determined to make a clean breast of it, and cast her self on his mercy. 0 lining into his room with downcast eyes, she knelt at tho old man's feet, and with many tears told her story how she had been left an orphan and poor, with only her ono gill of music with which to support her self; the dilficulties sho hud encoun tered, until the fraudulent use of his great iinmo had filled bcr rooms and her purse. "Well, well," said tho great man, gently raising her tip, "let us see what we can do. I'erhaps it is not so bad as you thought. There is a piano ; let me hear one of the pieces you expect to play to-morrow evening." Tremblingly sho obeyed, tho nnuitro making comments and suggestions as sho played, and when she had finished, he added, "Now, my child, I have given you a lesson ; you ar2 a pupil of Liszt." Before she could find words to ex press her gratitudo Liszt asked, "Are your programmes printed?" ' N"o, sir," was the ausiver, "not "Then say that you will bo assisted by your master, nnd that the last piece on the programme will bo played by the Abbe Liszt." i' II (i U li .

Tho Indium of Florida, A gentleman who has recently been among tho Indians of Florida writes: I havo learned a number of interesting things regarding tkeso Indians from tho officers I have named which I will briefly note. Tho wholo number now in Florida is about threo hundred, di vided into four bauds, as camps. About one-third are Creeks, the remainder Seminoles. Chitco, tho chief of the Creeks, is a most hospitablo man. Every thing ho had in tho way of comforts was at the disposal of his visitors. His band raised com, garden vegetables nnd sugiis-cano. O in of the young men has invented a mill for crushing cane, which uives evidence of considerable genius Ilo is anxious to learn English and re ceive an education, but is forbidden to do so. The children nro kept away from the whites as much as possible iu order to prevent them learning English or knowing anything about civilized habits. The head men would not talk about the nll'iirs of their tribe. They 'didn't like Washington talk' and while they like white people 'come sea 'em' had no faith in tho government and would communicate nothing. All that was learned of them was from tho in terpreter and from the whites who live near them. The visit of tho officers was a surprise to them, or nono of the young people would have been seen. Tho Seminnles mauagod the matter bet ter and prcreuted a surprise. Afraid of Itcini; Hlscl. From tho Circassian Legends, A man was walking nlons; one road a woman along another. Tho roads litmlly united, and the man and jvomun reaching the junction at thu same time walked on Irom there together. The man was car rying a lareo iron kettle on his back. In one ham! lie held by the le;;s a live chick en ; in the other a cane ; nnd he was lead injr a (;ont. Just as they were couiiinj to a deep, ilaik ruviuc, tho woman said to the uiau . "I am afraid to go through that ravine with you. It is a lonely place, and you might overpower inn and kis me by loice.'" "II you were afraid ol that," said the mm, "you shouldn't havo walked with no at all. How can I possibly overpower you ami kiss you by force when I have this (jreat iron ketlb mi my back, n cano in ono hand mid a live chicken in another, and am Ica liui: this gent? I might us well be tied han l and loot." " Ves," replied the woman, "but if you should stick your cane in tho gii und nnd tic the goat to it, and turn tlio kottlo bot tom sidu up and put the chicken under it, tiieu you iiiiht wickedly kiss me iu (pile ol my resistance." 'SurccM to thy ingenuity, oh, wnninn! said the tej licing into to hiirsclf. "I ouul liavu never thought ol this expo- client." And when ho came to the ravine he stuck his cane into the ground and tied l tic gout lo i', pave the chicken lo thu woman savin;', "Hold it while I cut some ijrw for the goat," and thun lo-vering tho kettle from his shoulders, imprisoned the low! under it, and wickedly kissed the woman, a she w is afraid ho would.
