"Not ev.en to make my last hour peaceful, Allan?" 'Father, it would darken my whole future." "It would glorify it, my son! I have lived many years and met so many women that their hearts have been as open books to me; but in no clime, in no land to which 1 have traveled, have I found the purity, the perfection of innocence, the warmth of heart, the nobility of womanhood, which is the portion of mv ward, mv adopted child.

'Father," the young mans tones vibrated with emotion, "you have liceri so kind to me always; you have been -so kind to me always; you have taught me to discern between right and wrong; would there be no wrong in this? would I not slay the fair est hopes of my life by consenting? This girl is nothing to me let my heart find its own mate, father! It pains me more than I can tell you to refuse your slightest wish, but I cannot" bind my youth in fetter that would so surely chafe my man hood. T cannot woo this girl or ask her for my wife! I cannot, father!" "You refuse what would have . 1-ocn a richer possession than all the wealth of the Dreemes! But, on the brink of death, I cannot quarrel with my only child. Thank heaven that Leoline knows nothing of this! You will be a brother to her, Allan? Her father was one to ineshe will Ie lonely alone, when I am am dead!" "I will promise that, gladly," the young man answed; "I can promise that, father! Leoline shall have my Jst and tenderest care." From the doorway a slight form darted then a form which neither the 'dying man nor his son had seen; and a girl, "with white, quivering features, and dark, distended eyes, fled from the darkened chamber. An hour Inter and Harold Dreeme whispered faintly: - "Allan, give me your hand. Call Leoline.". And Allan grew white, as touch ing a silver bell which would sum mon his father's ward, he bent over the face on the pillows. Through the Jong hours they watched there, these two, and in the gray of the opening day they knelt together over the body of the ileatl, o-irl snbbinor passionately, the - " IT 1 flmL-inrr in his silent rrief. On j I Kill rminp i -i the calm face of Harold Dreeme lay L:ith prav shadow.

In Uie"Bght of that summer day she iad goniil forth, bearing with her naught save the memory of Allan's words:- "! do not long this girl! Let my heart choose its mate!" j ":Allan fought vainly f or a trace bf her, and wandered as Vainly why she had fled. j " . . : ' "All gaslight arid glare!" thought Allan Dreeme, half wearily stand- in sr amonor the iruests in ' the rieh jn - n salon wof Madame-i; Riviere.-' iThe. ocean, which laved the rocks below Dreeme hall, rolled between him and his home; but wider, darker. drearier, was the division between him and the vouth which lie had re fused to wed his father's ward. His hostess, noting the outlook of weariness upon his face, tapped him lightly with her fan. ""There is one hero who will not bore you," she said, laughingly. "You have not met the beautiful artist of whom we talk because we find no subject so agreeable? Then I will give you a new delight," and laying her jeweled hand upon his arm, she led him across the wide room to where a regal woman held her court. Where had he seen that face, he wondered, bending low le- ! fore the stranger, who received him as a queen might. It was dark and calm, but the great eyes, all gloom and power; the red lips, with their delicate f-urves; the white brow, from which flowed back a mass of dusky, unrippling hair, struck on him like the memory of a half-forgotten dream. ''Have I met you before?" he asked her, later in the night. And he fancied that the dark eyes sad dened as they turned on him. "Would you have forgotten me?" she asked with a slow smile. And he told himself, with a new thrill at his heart, that he never would. Once looking on that lovely face would leave it engraved on his heart for ever. For three months from that night Allan Dreeme suffered the agony of an 4i n certain love. 11 is heart . was , filled with the glory of her beauty, filled with hope and fear. ' So many beside himself sought the smiles of his regal, dark-eyed woman, whose brush had made her famous. And then, one night, when he found himself alone with her among the bloc.rn and perfume of a conserva tory, again at one of Madame Riv- ler s balls, where, amid "glitter and glare," he had first seen her, a beau- tiful queen, he laid his heart at her feet and trembled, because she was so long silent. Within the music swelled: the laughter of the guests reached them, soft, sweet, mirthful. He bent his proud head in meekness, waiting tor her answer. She lifted her drooping eyes and .laid a fair hand on his sirm, a tre mendous joy touching her warm lips. , "Allan," she said softly, "when 1 went forth from the home your father left you and 1 had no hope of this. I loved you than,-Allan, and I heard you say words which I have never forgotten. I heard you tell your father to let your heart choose its own mate. Are you sure sure, Allan! that your heart has chosen Leoline El mar?" "Leoline!" he cried, shrinking, "you are not Leoline!" "I have not been called so since that summer day, when a heart-sick, hopeless child of seventeen, I knew I loved you, Allan, and you gave me no return! Hut, if you love me I am doubting still, Allan " Oh, do not doubt my love!" he whispered, taking her hands, and drawing her to-ward him; "I was then a thoughtless youth, and my fathers wish to bind me seemed cruel. I am a man now, and my heart has spoken! Is not the man's love more worthy in your sight than that of the boy could he, -my dar ling? If you loved me then, do not telfnie that I caused that love to die!" "Does love ever die?" she ques tioned, gently laying her beautiful head on his bosom; "no, Allan, I have not forgotten; it was that love which -drove me from Dreeme Hall; it was that which kept me strong, I found the world so cold and hard to me! It was that for which, when I had gained friends and ior fnnp. T refused a coronet! Ten years stretch drearily between to- night and tnat summer nay, mum, on whieh T took .in v voung heart from Dreeme Hall and bore it far from you, with the hope that I m io-ht 'leach it to grow calm; but 1 could not calm it, my dearest; it would ouiver and thrill at the hmio-lit of von. at the sound of your name. You will have to love me well to erase tho-e, sad years, Allnn'" His eves were misty as he held l.er to hi heart and laid his lov ing kisses on her beautiful face. FAYJ3TTEVILLE, N. C, TUESDA I "My love! my love!" he said sadly; "was it but a memory of my cold ness, my blindness, that you could take with you? ; How can I, ever win your complete pardon for the past?" -J-j "By loving me Well," was the low-toned answer.. r" ;V.', "Had you hut remained !"-- he whis- ftered, "my blindness woulffiidt have asted.lorig.

To the Fruit Growers of North Caro lina. The third Annual Fair of the North Carolina Fruit Growers' As sociation will be held in Goldsboro, on Tuesday t'lid Wednesday, July 30th and 31st. The previous Fairs held in Greensboro and Wilmington were highly satisfactory, and the splendid exhibition of fruits at both fairs did no l'ttle to stimulate fruit growing throughout the State. The present season gives indica tion of a full and fine fruit crop, and we anticipate a large and most successful Fair, with exhibits from all parts of the State. To this end the Association will pay the freights on all fruit sent for exhibition, and the usual low rates have been also arranged over the several Railroads from all parts of the State. There is also to be a grand excursion to Morehead City and the seashore, to leave here on the morning of August 1st, and re turn the following day. at the low rate of 1.00 for the round trip. Those who desire to remain at the seaside six days, can do so by pay ing an additional charge of 2. Addresses will be delivered during the progress of the Fair by eminent ge n 1 1 e m en , an d t h e re J s q 1 )ea 1 Grand Musical festival at the Opera House, on the night of the 31 si, sit which prizes will be awarded, com plimentary to the most meritorious performer. The best musical talent from all sill over the Stsite is invited to participsite. We want von all to come and . help iw show to the world what a magnificent truit country our glori ous old State is.

One Spot to Change. A good attendance at the Cleve land colored meeting is reported in the New York Herald. Here is a smrmle of the sneaking: '"Clarence Jackson, the President of the Carpet Cleaners1 Association, was accorded the floor. He said that Cleveland was upright and had only one spot to change. That spot was Albany, and it must be changed to Washington' A club was formed and it took the name of Cleveland Colored Cam paign Club. K. K. K. K. No Ku-Klux-Klan in that. IF. Star. Is It Fate?

Elections may be lost or ei. tions may be won : wisdom oKfo may prevail tor tne time being; ie7 lusions riiay over come the minds bf riipn nnd nnssion : nnd interest llliiV lead them astray; but after all pofit-: icui sins uuve 4 jueeu cuiuimiuku, All blnr.dera endured and nunishkd. the truth of ? Democracy still shiies untarnished, arid the hopes of m n- Kina cluster arouna ine- possiu of its realization; J' " -V "r , Those who imagine that the life f-''thW:-Demoertii'-pnrty.gfrs upon its fortunes at any parti(s'ar time, those who fancy that the fail ure to carry an election may dis rupt, or disorganize, or destroy it, are mistaken and deceived. What is Democracy? What makes the Democratic party ? De mocnicy is the government of the people by the people and for the people. It is that theory and form of political institutions vhich es tablishes the self-government of communities and States, and dimin ishes to the greatest possible extent the domination, the control, and the interference of the central organized authority. There arj two tendencies in hu man nature. One is to the incresise of power in government, the other to its dimunition. The Democracy is the representative and embodiment of the latter tendency. - Those, then, who would stake the existence of Democracy and the Democratic party upon local "and temporary issues, such as taxes on wool or the excise on whiskey, fail to appreciate its grand and univer ssil nature. Democracy remains af ter sill these momentary controver sies have been fought out and for gotten. So long as there is a republic there must be a- Democratic party. The party of centralization, bent al ways on enlarging the sphere and aggrandizing the importance of the central power, stands out on one side, and the party of the masses, of liberty and equalitv, stands out on the other. The fact that Hie Re- pnhlicansriujii4.3h ia pne election after another only renders tne. con tinuance of the Democracy nion. necessary more indispensable. In every free commonwealth there is as great a need for an Opposition as for a Government; smd though the Hponblicans should continue to hold the kevs of power and place fcr an other quarter of a century, the Dem ocrats will continue to oppose their principles and resist their develop- ment. They may continue lor a a long time, and on msmv fields, to fight none but losing battles, and the tired and exhausted veterans may sadly drop out of the ranks and disappear. But new recruits, young, ardent, disinterested, believ ing in liberty and. devoted to the re public, will rise up to tsike their places. No calamity can extinguish De mocracy; no error of those who are temporarily interested with its lead ership csin break it down; it is im mortal. Xetr York Sun. Old Eocords. 'Old record.;" are often danger ous things to politicians. Tkey are now being resurrected in regard to Blaine and Logan. The Savannah Xeirx says: '"Those Republicans who venerate the memory of "Old John Brown," may recall the "persecutions" he suffered bv turning to the journals of the Thirty-sixth Congress. One John A. Logan, a Congressman from Illinois, in speeches made in that body, denounced John Brown as '"a traitor, a thief, and a scoundrel' He alluded to the "contaminating touch of sibolitionirm," and declared that Abraham Lincoln s speeches against the extension of shivery con tained a "monstrpns doctrine." These speeches of Logan's will be especially interesting to the ''broth er in black" who is now such an ar dent worshiper of the tail end of the tattooed ticket. The indications points to a united Democratic front in New York, for it is declared by those who are in a posit ion to know that Tammany will stand up to the nominee and that. John Kelly will work for Cleveland and the ticket. The de fection among sill classes in the city is estimated at only T?000 If this turns out to be true Cleveland will sweep New York by a tremendous majority. Xeus and Observer. The seventeen German Republican newspapers of Ohio are all against Blaine. One of our exchanges says faceticiously that this will knock the bottom out ot his boom. 1 his is true, if it ever had a bottom.
