'.Kitty ! Ki ty Clyde ! Where are you Nobody aiiswereJ. A rebin, buildiu-? a ned in tne great apple tree over the poutb door, looked: up, listened a tni&ute, and then- whis tled softly to hiiaself. Jle was not GIydex not coma to betray Kittv he. - The cVeit dog. Rover, dczine On tby,pi Ualf opened - Jaia-eyeej and then dzt owsed asain. ' "The truth was, llojrer had deciined iit tv's invitation! to go off frolicking with her, and the. girl had patted his head softly touched her red lips to the snow-white star in Ro ver's ducky forehead, Rover's beauty-spot, and then flitted carelessly away, her bright brown cut Is toss- ins in the west win;, and a iraga Eient of a soui vanning over from that blithesome li i tie heart of hers. And so, at this very minute, .Kitty is standing ankle-deep in the clear, coolj, blue water of the pond, trying fith all her might and main to reach a great, splendid lily that, with all hid andj)etals its golden stamens half closed, wad just going to sleep for the night. 1 To had already a whole be sure, Kitty apronful of th$ pure, sweet flowers ; but when was kver mortal man, or woman either,! satisfied with what they already had when did they not loner and strive after what was just beyoud rekch ? 4nd so it came to pass that, ai K'uty pulled and tugged, the ho"r, treacherous hank, gave way, and! d-jwu went Kitty, clean muslin direst, apronful of lil ies, spotless white stoc!iiog3 and dainty slippersj golden-brown curld and all, into the cold dirk water. 0-o-h !' criejd A'itty, struggling in the water. I ind then, iri a minute, something seized her, antj lifted her sheer ut of the water, ahd set her high and oh, no not-jat all dry, but very wet, indeed, a thong the violets, up on the green bank. Was it liovcir ?" 7ittv BhrtnL- th water out of heir tves, swallowed a sob or two, and looked. . And thenT she blushed all! over her white face; and away down to the tiny lace ruffle about h4r throat. For her preserver was a young man, a very proper and very unexceptionable young man, indeed, in a faultless black suit, whih never saw a speck of lint since it was a suit. And this young marj, who W3S quite rail a very giat beside Kitty, in fact surveyed) her with a face in which amusement and surprise wre as strongly expressed as if they had been written inj letters right across his handsome, broad forehead. "'Well,' Baid he, his dark sciiicg eyes shining down upon her, : 'you are only the worse off by a wet ting ! What would have become of you, if I had not happened by jast as I did V j ; 'I dare say, 1 shouldn't hive drowned,' said! -Kitty, demurely. 'But I am very! much obliged to you.' j ; 'You are very much welcome ! In return, perhaps! you can tell me where Deacon jGrey lives. I was just about to ask you, when you disappeared from my astonished eyes, in the pond.' r Poor .Kitty ! I Who could wonder that she blushed again, like a red, red rose, and wished from the bot tom of her sorrowful little heart that she had drowned among the lilies for was not this the - now young minister, younger and hand somer than -Kitty who had. only known old Parson Brown, with his snuffy toaes and grizzled wig had ever dreamed a minister could be ? and had she not, been charged, over and over again, in his presence A'itty Clyde ! to behave properly And, now poor Deacon Grey lives there,' said Kitty, who "must speak, though she died, pointing it the great squaf red farm-house iglowing in the af ternoon Bun. 'That hcusp there in the clover field, with the apple trees around it?' 'Yes, sir ! The clover field com s up to the door, j 7sn't it pretty ?' her wet sua -tt-itty, forgetting clothes, and w fiat her aunt would - , , 0 in the picture, i 'Very pretty said the young man. 'Very pretty indeed !' he repeated, looking into the sweet yonng eyes, and seeing the rosy color come and go under the clear, fine-grained, beautiful skin. " A full half minute he stood thus, and then he started suddenly 'I beg your pardon ! I should not have kept yoii. You will take cold!' ' ; " : As he spoke he lifted his hat, bowed, and turned away from her. 7a a minute or two, he wad out of sight, around the bend in the road. " I I - 'How handsome lie is !' thought savf m ner mrlisn. artistic delixht A i .Kitty. 4nd'be bowed to me, just as thev do in glories Oh, 1 d?ar, what a figuie am Lnd now, I shall never dare speak " to him.' And two great shining tears glit tered mjvitty s brown eyes. Slowly she made her way home, and crept ground to the well-room door. Tho parlor was open, and she heard her cousin Julia speak ing, ana the odor of her aunt-Grey's cake came out, delicious and tetapt mg-, ana me tea-kettle wad singing on tne nearth. Aria iiitty was very cold and wet, ana: most unpoetically hun gry. But she slipped off of stairs unseen, -An liour or iwo passed. Sup per was served in tne hospitable iarm-nouse Kircnen. Ana supper .eg .IrTv iecon -irey lit his pipe7 iiHi began to discuss free-will with the yoang minister. 'xou d better go into the parlor, lather, said iJtrs. urey. 'Oh, no matter about the parlor, wile, said the obtuse deacon. 'Mr v eston hkes the kitchen well enough, Til warrant.' Mr. Weston laughed 'Oh, yes, he liked -'And he sat down he kitchen !' On the old fashioned t?ettee, and much at home as if he seemed as had been a so:; of the family. 'I wouldn't let the table set nny longer for iiitty,' said Jalia, gath ering up the cupa itnd saucers with a dainty grace. Mrs. Grey remembered the Lady Washington cake which .Kitty was eo fond of, and the Btrawberi ies A'itty hud j icked, and her good heart was divided between impa tience and pity. 'Oh, dear,' she sighed, 'that-good-fer-i;oihiiig A'rty Clvde tir;s ue nearly to death.' ' hat s Aitt-v asked ;he deacon. 'Oh, don't aek ; be en uoiriii nov, aek ; i-ju't the always doing what she ouiihtn' to, iand neg!ectini every thing sho-pught, to do? 1j inj: about the fields all day, and reading novels and pcetry, and she can't mak a loaf of bred to save her life.' Julia, added the matron, desparingly, 'go and call her afl over the house.' .-lud so Julia's silvery 'Kitty! Ki'.ry Clyde !' resounded through llij wide rooms. And pretty soon a glided silently down email figure in the twi- liuht. ' 'Ah, there you are riJNow oat year supper so we cau -cai- off the table,' said Mrs. Gray, reproving- ly. , A'itty sat down, still as a mouse, and helped herself to bread and butter and strawberries, ond, un happy as she had been, -was making a very good meal, -when all at once her auht said : 'Are there any pond lilies about ?' Miss Julia jusi then sailed out of the parlor, a graceful whits cloud in the dust. 'Oh, yes. There are some great dishes of them in the parlor. We have them all the time, she said, graciously, forgetting to add that good-for-nothing Kitty Clyde gath ered and arranged them. 'I thought I detected the odor ! ZZow lovely they are !' 'Oh, very lovely !' said Julia, with a sweet enthusiasm. That remiads me,' said the young minister, laughing softly, 'thac I had a bit of an adventure coming from the station.' 'An adventure coming from Cloverdaie Station to our house !' cried Julia. 'Pray, what was it ?' 'Why; a little girl at least she was very small, though she might have been grown up was picking lilies in the pond just down here, nd fell in. Of course 1 pulled her out. : "v - 'Pulled her out! Did she get wet ?' It was Mrs. Grey. She had come in with a lighted lamp. 'I'm afraid she did !' said Mr. Weston, his ejes twinkling. Unfortunate Kitty Clyde! The cruel light of the lamp fell full upon her face, and betrayed the deep blushes and the tearful, down cast eyes. 'Amy Clyde, was that you T said Mi s. Grey, in a stern and aw ful voice. Aitty choked and tried to get up. 'And you got your new muslin wet. Oh, Kitty Clyde, you are the worst good-tor-nothing girl in the whole world.' 'I -I don't care !' sobbed Kitty, and she fled from the table and ran up-stairs, crying very bitterly. '.Now, mother, you've scared her most to death. You'd ought to be thankful she wasn't drowned,' said the good deacon. '1 hope I am, Deacon Grey,' said his wife. '1 hope I don't wish any harm to the child, though she is such a trial.' . 'Oh, well, well ! we can't expect all girls to be like our Julia.' 'Julia never caused - me a igo- ment's anxiety in her life,' eajd her mother. That remarkable young lady came in just then, and Mr. Weston exam ined her with ' interest. She was really a yery pretty girl, lady-like, and well-bred. : 'And what a good girl the must be !' thought the Reverend Edward Weston. i Yes, Julia was a pretty girl and a good girl. And 4 Mr. Weston wanted a wife.1 Js tUt ktrange ? Net a bit of it. All yoiing men who are. manly ana pure ao wuen the right time comes. M Cloverdale quite agreed jhat Mr. Weston wanted a wife, and jwhen he was properly installed, and every thing was w it should be, the good people took counsel together, and decided that be couldnVfind a bet ter wife than Julia Gry.i- : Apparently Mr. WestoE "tsras of a. similar opinion. And 'yet, per haps not. Perhaps it wa$ only ia a iriendly way that he1 took Julia out to Vide, and out boating on the pond, and to walk Sn the cwieet etar-i ry summer eyes rngsj. Sometimes Kitty Clyde was with tbem; oftener not Sometimes she j starred with them, but was off directly In quest of some gay night-roses. j And so Mr. Weston found obsta cles in the way of studying Kitty's character. It wag a study which interested him more and more. .But somehow the flower which at times opened to him, and let him drink in its sweetness and fragrance, at other times folded itfeelf away in silence, in the shyest f).nd most per plexing manner. .And the Rever end ICdwaid Weston was exceeding ly disturbed. But he never asked himself what it meant, till one golden evening in October, when Jamie Wood, a stal wart young farmer, came in, and looked hnrd jut Kitty in ail the pauses of the talk. At last Kitty slipped away. Then up rose Jamie Wood, and toos a sorrowful, disap pointed leave. 'Jaime is sadiy in love, poor fel- It T 1 I T iov : suiu Jans, tenderly. In love ? with whom ?' said Mr. Veston, rousing up. 'On, Kitty Clyde, ot course. It would ue an excellent inatcn fe; Kitty, only she is so perverse.' Iho lievcrend Jiidward Weston felt a sharp stab near hi3 heart. An hour later he was walking up ahd down a moonlit path, and thinking very hard and fast when suddenly a white wraith glided out of the shadow of the! trees, and would have passed him but he put oat one handsnd detained it. 'Kitty, I want to tell you some tuing. What! Will you run away from mc as you, do ffota your lov er Kitty shook in his hlands 'Janaie Wood i3 not j my lover,' she sa;d, passionately. lL won t have him !' j 'Why, Kitty V 'Because I 1 don't; love him. Let me go, Mr,. Weston ! tVVoic TTJft T7 T W O Ti f a wife. Every body says I dc, and I am sure of it. But I want no body but vcu, for I love you dear ly.' . ) 'Me ?' said tho bewildered girl. 'Such a gocdsfor-nothing as I ? Oh, you can't mean it !' 'I do, Kitty you, just as you are. 'Oh, my darling, , God i3 good to send me such a treasure,' and he gathered her in his arms, and KiU vy's longing loving heart fairly ached with happiness, j I take pride in adding that Kitty Clyde made the bonniest, best wife in Cloverdaie. ! OUE WASHINGTON LETTEE. The Administration Exconfited Hayes Reform a Farce Repuhlicans Pre ferred in the SouiTirMortm and Ty ntr Running the P. 0. department "Woe Unto Them that Are at Ease in Zion V- Machine Politicians, &o. Washiqnton, D. C, 1 March 27th; 1877. The Senate has adjourned. The office-seeker has gone home a sad der and a wiser man.; The new ad ministration is Bailing in the won derfully smooth waters of public approval. It seems that the coun try in this respite fromj misgovern ment, with deep lbngiDg for peace, will half forget the wrong and dis grace to which it haa ben subjected by the Electoral Commission. So sweet, indeed, is hepef of release from the thieving despotism of the last eight years, that evn the Dem ocratic press helps ; tcj swell the chorus of praise. I Governor Ua.jes, concious of the utter emptiness of his title, k doing his utmost to conciliate jtho imajori ty, and reconcile the country to his fraudulent "tenure, j 'IThus conn science does make cowardi of us all." But let us not be decieved by the civil service reform, just now vomiting itself so conspicuous ly. It will be : nothing more than a specious nullity if it doea not go far deeper than 'it has gofie yet. Senator Morton, through his pro tege the 1st Assistant Post (Master General, has still the disposal of the grsater "i portion j. of the post office patronage. Any ohe acquain ted with tho real condition jef oar civil service excresence, knows that the departments must be emptied from attic to j cellar, swept, fumiga ted, disinfected, and! refilled with new and health j men. Mr.j Hayes seemed to recognize this first prin ciplo of reform when hej refased to retain even one of Grant's j second hand cabinet ; but it is not jenoagh , j , 1 j - i r : BaaaaaaajaBBBnaaaaanaaanaaaaaaaBi T tc have a new qnd respectable cabi net. A plug hat will not tarn thief and swaggerer into a Christian If Mr. Hayes and his cabinet werei imbued with real reforming energy. they would not be content withj tne old sfdtu quo anKsuch fine, lolling sentences as : "No removals with out canse; no rpromotiona without merit.1 It is written: "Woe be un to them that are at ease in Zion!' but how much worse for those ivho are at ease in Baal or Domdaniel? The great majority for Tilden Iwas a demand for other reform than that promised through Hayes When, each ; cabinet " .officer ehal have 'recognized- then fact that j the civil service is gtoaning under a bur then of machine politicians, sons cousins, and mothers-in-law, of sen ators ; that there are twice the num bf r drawing pay that are necessa ry to do the neccessary work ; that tQGse who compose thfe elerica force are lazy, inefficient, dishon est ; demoralized by the creed that the essential and sole qualifications tor ofhee are to vote the Repu.bu can ticket and to pay campaign! as sessments unmurmunngly. Whether all this shall have been realized land the whole foal service purged and regenerated, we will have reform that is something more than a name the reform that was demanded in the election of Tilden. j There seems to have been an im pression that the appointment- of Post Master General Key .was concessioa to the majority that :did not vote for Hayes. Bat-those who imagined it to be more than a gaudy lure have been undeceived. Sena tor Merrfmon,-of North Carolina, recently wrote to the Post Mas ter General inquiring specifically if appointments without regard i to politics, would ,-be made in the South : "When a vacancy exists in any .office connected with the Post Office Department in the Southern States, preference will be given to a Eepublicac, all other things being equal. . , ' . Just at present speculation is active in reference to a new politl cal combination looming . above the horizon, which has for its object the disintegration of the Democrat ic party, jft was foreshadowed m the public improvement bait of Mr Hayes' inaugural address; it was further developed in the appoint ment ot a .Democrat of easy virtue to the position ot .rost Master Wen eral ; and its grand objective coup is to be the election ot a llepubl: can, preferably Charles Foster, of Ohio, to the bepeakersLip of the Forty-Sixth Congress. The Dem ocratic majority of the next House will be from four to nine, but the administration hopes that by pla cing ill gotten patronage, about in spots, where it will do most good, it may wire over a sufficient cumber of South-Western Democrats to give ?'t control of the next House. The' Southern policy of Mr. HSyes, so auroral in promise, -is barren in flulfilment. Last week we were told that by Wednesday, the 21st iast., the military would be removed ; bat now, diea yenit, and the dual governments in Louisi ana are about to have a duel J while the army stands by, in the rolo of a mutual second, while Mr. liayes hesitates to call him governor who, though beaten by 8,000 majority, still received 1,000 more votes than the said Hayes. Thus conscience does make. a coward of; Mr. Hayes," and thus the native hue of resolu tion is sicklied over with the pale cast of thought. C. A S.
