"3NOTHIIVC* KIJCCEICDS LIKE SUCCESS " D ANBURY, N. C„ THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1885. A Romantic Story. Startling stories are told and tluilliu" effects produced in the many novels ol tbe day, but it is sc'dom we find any thing more startling or tluilliug in fio- tliis 'ower tiue tale' «f a belle of the early part of tbe present century, There are those still living who eat) attest to the facts ; but wero it not that the principal actors have passed from the stage, I should hesitate yet to make public such a peculiar family history, As it is 1 '|«ll t'.ie tale as 'twas told to mo,' only Mggisg pardon for conceal ing the feal names. 'ln whaf'wu.s then a charming sea side town, there lived, fifty years ago, ti most lovely girl, named Amy l'rovcnee —bright and radiant and witty, but, alas ' as the sequel shows, most unwise, to say the very least. Of suitors she had many, and when she first appears in the light of a liero iue, she had already'promised her hand, wilh her heart u> it, to a prosperous and highly respected young merchant There was not so much of fashion and folly then us now ; young ladies did not lie awake over trosseaus and establish ments, or mar thoir beauty and redden tikeir eyes, dimming thoir lustre by late hours and high liviug. Hut Miss I'rov encc approached her bridal day in all her youthful freshness, lie lover Ernst Rhodes, was ardently attached to her, and the course of true love ran, appar ently, very smoothly. Hut the old fashion fate has of turning momentous results on very small hinges, was in style then as now, and fato was busj with them. Miss Amy was invited to visit Miss Woolsey, a wealthy old aunt in Hhode Island, before horo marriage. So, bun dling up some of tho mysterious wed ding paraphernalia, for a last beautify ing touch, for her fairy fingers were very tasteful and swift, she loft her lover, with regret, 1 know, apd loft him for n week's sojouru with her aristocrat ic relative. This week was understood ta bo the last ot her aianlunuonil, nnu tho young girl felt even that to be a small eternity. Hut what youngfiancec, on the eve of marriago with tho dear one of her choice, cannot find a wealth of enjoyment in loying thoughts even for a whole week ! Miss Woolsey was a la«ly of position and consequence, and tho rare beauty and graeo of her niece gave her a pros tigc in the oyes of tho many visitors to tho house. Her cntertaiumeuts were unique and 'just the thing,' and it was with a certain degree of pride that an invitation to Miss Woolsey's was ac cepted by the surrounding gentry. It is the same the world over, and has been for far more years than this veri table history covers, that a certain ele ment in character is gratified by tho notice of those who are considered a round higher on the social laddci. Amy was delighted with the ovidonco of lux ury about her; and her vanity was flattered by tho numerous attentions she icceived from the various visitors to her aunt's bouso. Ernst at home was impatient for her return, ohafing and wondering how Amy could go away from hiui, even for a week, if she loved as he loved 1 Fato was weaving her first thread' Among the many who camo to Miss Woolsey's, attruoted by tho exquisite beauty of Miss Amy, was one, a certain Mark liaise, of whom people knew lit tle, save that ho seemed to live m souie style ; at. least, lie kept a carriage, a luxury that few indulged in in those days, and said very little about himself and his antecedents. Each evening ho came, aud each evening saw him at Amy's sido. He had not talked of love, but shrewder eyes than hers saw whither he was tending, and fate was weaving her second thread. In the meantimo Amy had been very iiligcnt : the work was finished, the last touches given to tho dainty finery, and in the near future the sweet hope of her life would be fulfilled ; so thought she. Ernst was at home, waiting as only lovers can wait, and each one of you knows how patiently that is. Amy would go to-morrow. My pen almost refuses to chronicle the record of tho poor girl's visit. Wo Jo havo something to do with our desti ny, inasmuch as the reins nro put into jur own hands, and we may turn whith ersoever wc will! So Mark liaise same and Amy*received hiin. As usual ho sat by her sido, and, as usual, the lot hiin linger there. Alas ! for the dear boy at homo she knew she lovod, aud whom in spite of all that followed, you know she lovod ! Ernst was not by to give her his warning look, and save lior from tie tempter 'l'lic soft voice spoke : •My dear Mis* Amy'—and very ten der was liis look—'you are going away, and do you know iiow I sli.dl miss you ? 'You oau't 'miss' nio imicli longer, slic blushingly replied, laughing at tin innocent pun. 'Ah ! tlnit is what makes my heart aeho so,' said ho, 'for when you art gone, aud I think of all your happiness, I shall regret moro than I can tell you that you over cmuo among us to !0 dis turb tlio ripples of uiy juict life,' and a deep sigh enforced his ivord \ 'Please don't talk so M.\ liaise, paid Amy, 'for even in tLitf short week 1 have lo„rncd to prize your friutidsuir highly, and I should bo sorry indeed not to retain it.' •Amy,' said he casting off all reserve and abruptly seizing her hand —'Amy 1 can stand it no longer : I must know my fate from your own lips! When you talk to me of quiet friendship, there rushes lipon me like a wave the thought of nil tint I lose in losing you 1 Will you bo my wife !' His impetuosity startled her. and she drew back. 'Do uot talk so to me " she cried. 'l)o you not know that m a few days I shall bt Ernst's wife '' Mark liaise knew not and cared not who' Ernst' was ; ho only knew that sho had promised tier troth to another, aud ho mount to win her from hiu> Don't tell uic that she was wrong and imprudent to listen to him—don't 1 know it ! lam only telling you a true story, and it is my duty to record that this particular Amy Provence was no exception to tlio corps of silly girls. 'Yes, I know it, I know it,'he plead ed. 'but, Amy, darling, bow can 1 let you go ! I will do anything for this dear hand. I will give you a princely home and every surrounding that wealth can purchase, if you will only conic to me and be my beloved wife !' 'No, no,' said Amy, 'do not tempi mo. Krust is not rich, 1 know, but 1 lov.- lnui anu lie l*j\ . a (-il uokrlj , mot t will bo his wife.' Do you think that Mark liaise gave up the cliasc ! Xot he ! His voice was very winning, and as he talked on anil on, bclieyo me or uot as you see fit, the girl began to listen to his persuasive tones.' Ernst was away, aud Mark, with his fiuc prrcsents and finer prom ises, was near—oven at her very feet. So it came that Amy Provence was not even "off with tlio old lov* before on with the new,' for when Mark liaise added to all the other temptations the promise of a carriage for her very own, the poor, ambitious victim yielded, and gavo to her tempter her broken faith. What ho cared for it will soon ap pear. The forsaken Ernst bore as well as his fortitude'and outraged love would let Inui, the sold lottor announcing to hiui his Amy's treachery, and never sought foi an explanation, 110 was too manly to resent the insult, aud treated the whole affair as beneath contempt, rightly judging that the false-hearted girl who could triflo with his tender est feelings was uot worth mourning for. It would be well fur all if I could leave it hero, but truth oompcls me to proceed. I need not tell you of the poor mother, wliosa whole heart was in Amy's marriage with Krnst, of all who were so indignant at her decision , or of tho forsakon lover ~who had loved so blindly only to be made to suffer so deeply—my story is not with these. Miss Woolsey was well pleased at tho turn in the tide of affiirs, and offer ed the deluded girl all the necessary assistauoo. She was married in a few weeks from her aunt's house in a stylo seldom seen at that tinia, [ should hko to linger here if my heart was in it, and tell you of all tbo iino things that was said and dono, in spite of the un pleasant state of things, but I will for bear. Ambition and love arc always at war, and one must bo viotoi, so whon Amy swall.iwed down tlio love sbc gave the reius to her ambition, and looked for ward to her lordly homo with vhat plea sure* she might. Hut sho knew noth ing moro of tho man who had "led her his own way' than ho had told her him self, so that when sho cams to hor sad awakening it was as if a thunderbolt bad fallen at her feet. What wore Lis prom ises ? Mero empty air! The homo ho took her to was a miser's homo, and honce forth, and for her vrlndo lifo of fifty years, she saw such sufferings as woman seldom sees. Do you ask mo if ho gave her noth ing of all ho promised ' Yes. tho car- ri-ifc't', wuioli was the thing that turned tin? scale in his fuvor; he gave her that, and thus tuililled his liteial prom ise. lie gave her the curriage, but it stood in the barn for fifty years, with never a home, and never a ride had fho with it! l''i>r fifty years there was present before ber eyes this constant reminder of a loving heart trampled npon—for fifty years Mark liaise made her feel his iron hand! Children same to her, but no comfort with them; one grow up a miserable drunkard, and another went out from her for many years, returning finally, to settle down at home, tooiturn and mo rose. Her husband died, and this son seemed all she had lived for, and as his fathers will was made up entirciv in his favor, the wretched woman, who had absolutely no society or no friends, lcaued on him for her daily bread. Itut in a little while ho died, and all the poor mother could now do was to be thankful she was not a pauper. Mean while how road his will t All, every thing, bequeathed to a wife and son in •South America of whose existence no body dreamed! By the terms of ihe will, the son was to come North immediately on being ap prise 1 if his father's death, take the family nnme and look after the property, but not a w jrd wf the old mother, no care for her declining yeais, no love ex pressed, nothing for her—all as if she were not! is it strange after all these reverses, and the corroding remorse of fifty years, that the poor woman found ber burden greater thau she could boar ? When she felt her miserable life drawing to its close, she sent for Ernst, and for the first time in all these years they two stood face to face 1 lie with his white looks, but still commanding figure, and line, stern face, was an avenging angel! she with her bent and trembling form, her wrinkled, careworn face, with its hungry look for human sympathy, was scarcely the brilliant, I who I.«it i'roui hta homo in her youth and innocence to bring upou both their lives such a terri ble consummation! They gized at each other without a word, till, at length she spoke, and the words which rang upon his ears catne from the depth of a broken heart. 'Ernst !'—the name, tlie once-loved, still loved name, lingered upon her lips like a strain of forgotten music—'Ernst, can you forgive mc ?' Gently the old lover took her trem bling hand in his, but ivith everything of loye crushed out for all Ihe years; calm ly the words fell on her cars : 'Amy, 1 cannot' You ruined my wliolo life ! But for your trampling out my young heart I should have been a different uian ! liut for your treachery re might have been happy ! As it is, you destroyed my faith in wouiau ; 1 could never trust another!' i>he cowered in her misery, and put ting her poor shrunken hands over her woru face, she cried : 'llefore God, Ernst, I pray for your merey ! lie knows how I have suffer ed, and if over a poor criminal exj-iatcd his guilt with his heart's blood, I have' 1 Let mc feel that your just resent- ' mciit will not follow me to the eternal world !' 'Amy, let ns understand one another. 1 We ate both old now. Sinec you and I met in the old, old time—' his voice quivered, a.id he raised his dewy eya* to heaven—'it is half a century. Itut j all this fifty years is but as a moment ; to what is to conic. 1 have lived a lone- i ly life, without wife or children. 1 should rathor a thousand times have seen the green sod over your grave, and felt that you woro lost to mo because God took you, than to have it as it is But your own hand gave the blow, and it was your own hand which crushed all my life, llut if it will be any comfort to you to feel that I do not hold resent ment, still, then bo comforted, Amy. 1 am willing to loavo it all with God.' Hi; bowed his head over her hand and was gone. When they cauic to her, hours later, she lay peacefully asleep, her wliito I bauds clasped over her breast, and the expression on her dead taec calmer and sercner than it had woru in life since the last tune Ernst had looked upon it. • ***•» • Fato had woven the last thread.

ATI.ANTA, (!*., June 2.—The Kve iling Journal to-duy published au inter view with ex-Senator itubt. Toombs on the future or the negro. They are his views as they would have been giveu ID the Nurth American Review had uot b»d health prevented the preparation of an article for tiiat periodical. He bays his speech on slavery in Tre uiont Temple, Hostjn, is IU true to-day us it was then and will be fur all tiuie.— The negro race is an inferior race, 110 was so created, and if Qod had not iu buidud to make bint inferior to tbe white man, he would never have created hiiu 1 black. All history shows liiui to be in capable of governing himself. He canr not, thdfcfoie govern countries nor anything else. .Speaking of him as araoe he says the position of Kcv. Dr. Ilaygood that the two races must rise or full together 19 very foolish. The negro race is depenr dent on the white for everything. He does not think they can be educated. It will be fourd iu the end that the ne gro as a race is unedui.itionable Ho bay s education is increasing crime among them. A negro is out of his element at the black-board, and his natural home is the cotton patch mid the plow. There he has always done best, there Ijc wilt always do best. As to the future of the negru race in the South he said. It is the plainest thing in the world. He will die out. He is dying out now. I think I un derstand the ceusus, I have studied it enough, I tell you that it is being false ly cijlerprctcd by certain people in this country. The negro is dying out as a race, he is bound to die out. That is what will become of him. It is the his i tory of all inferior races and here is the broad distinction, the negro is a scrub 1 race. The white iace is a thoroughbred ; race. In time the scrubs are bound to die out, but. the thoroughbreds will live 011 to pro-create the species. It is a law of God and cannot change.

He was out of plaeu in tho Senate, and made no reputation there, though always coekcd and primed for a shindy. '1 here is an amusing story told of Thurman and of him, which wilt bear repeating. On one occasion the plumed kuight came into the Senate chamber, and casually glancing at tbe seat of the old llomaii he discovered that that worthy had dined and had not passed the wine without ec,acting double toll. In a few moments the man froiq Maine was on his leg*, attacking, in his skirmishing way, some pet hnhhy or theory of Thunuan, who between naps became conscious that lie was being as saulted. Finally, the Obioiau arounod himself, and returned tho blows with interest, and as a result tho Senator from Maine was soon reduced to pulp. When thciiffuii was concluded, Thurman walk ed out of his committee-room, follow ed by McDonald and KJmunds. Pull ing out his bandana and giving a bugle blast from his probosis, he said : "Hoys, did that U—d Imloijiitn get away with me "No, no, Senator, you did splendidly, you demolished him."
