FROM LIFE ILLUSTRATED i remeinoer u wag ever so many years for I have got' silver streaks in toy hair now, and there; was; nothing of thai sort then that 1 went wandering away to toe back ol the old homestead, down thro the pleasant meadow that stretched along for such a distance, leeling as happy as h lord, and altogether indifferent to any sort til lack that the future might have in store tt was a delicious morning in early June. Or oourse there were birds enough in all the trees, an 1 of course they put forth the very best they could do in the way of song, , What they did was,' intoxicating, I really do not believe that, before or since, I huve vver felt such ah influx of purely spiritual . tnnueoces. i j I was not alone that morning, as I am going on to tell you. Our folks had kept open house for some three or four weeks, for the sake of their friends; and among them, my Uncle Nathan and his wife being present, trora ever so many hundred miles away, was their daughter my pretty Cou sin Kate. And a roguish creature she was, loo. t ulier of glee than any girl I had ever seen before. With a laugh like that oi a syren, clear ana musical. With a low, sweet voice that was capable of get- ting-up a. very sudden confidence between yourself and her. I With as fair a com plexibn, and as dark hair and eyes, and as white and dazzling teeth, and as ruby-red lips as you can find any where else in the world lor the hunting. Ah, but Cousin . Kate was charming f ' She was a crea lure that you couldn't very welL think of patting upon paper, if indeed she could ever be got, with lone half her real beau ty, upon a good piece of canvas. Well, not being alone in my ramble down through the meadow that mornmg,you are -at perfect liberty to suppose that Cousin, Kate was with me. She was. And a merrier chit than she made herself every tep of the way, and tried her best to make tne, too, it isn't so easy a matter to find. . She walked if one could call her grace ful, motions walking along by my side, carrying her straw hat swingingly in her band I bad off my own ha;, too, that the fresh breath of that sensuous morning might make itself the better felt upon my lyrehead and face. It was delightful be y?nd description, f As I said, the morning itself was attraction enough fur anybody ; but when with the beautiful eyed Aurora jru came to yoke-in such a spirit of the ir as Kale was, it .was piling bliss rather higher than a young fellow like me had " ever dared calculate on. 1 vert y believe that for once in niy life, I was just as hap py as 1 could bef 1 hadn't a :wish 'or a longing, but its gratification seemed to be right beside it with me. Kate's presence gave such a wonderful - coloring to things, wid not to things only, but to my thoughts, Jhwoul(itave liked to stop a minute by the way andwonder -where the witchery came from. , I . ... . j - We strolleJ on over the soft grass, that felt so grateful beneath the pressure of our feet and talked of whatever came into our heads. Her tongue run like well, 1 won't try to think of anything with which to -compare it. Arid as sh went skipping and tripping along, swinging J her hat so carelessly by the green ribbons, now pla cing her little head on my shoulder for a cnouientary support, and now leaving me behind to admire, the little grace' of her per fect figure, 1 knew very well that some thing or other ailed me, but for my life I was unable to tell what it was.; I Oy-und-by we, came to the little brook that crept alo.-.g so slyly through the grass, at whose margin Cousin Kate slopped, just asi expected she would, and gazed down upon the shifting, play of the water over r the clean sand and pebbles. She put the tip of her foot into the stream and with a mimic cry drew it back again.; Then she shouted to me to come on and see what a fine little tide it was, washing its eddies all along under the crass v banks, and whirling them within the seclusion formed ty the trifling sand-bars. 1 was at her side in a moment, and then we stood together and enioved the scene. Her and thero a scattering bobolink was rising up out of the dewy grass, and letting out the pent melodies of her throat in a nppliDg flood. We listened in admiration I thoughl, for myself, that something else was in my neart besides mere; admiration that morning. Along the brook side we kept on, frigh- leuujg toe minims out irom their coverts beneath the bank and winding in and out as the bed of the whimsical little stream chanced to take lis. Keeping on we came at last to a clump of willow trees ; where the brook made a broad debouch, and form ed one of the sunniest little pools that young fish ever -exercised their tails in. There I" said i, breaking away rather vnouguuessjy trom my Uoustn's side; "I'll snake myself a whistle I" and 1 proceeded to lay hold of a fresh, new twig of willow. wmcn my keen; jcmteblade dismembered irom the parent stem in no time at all. ' Cousin Kate came up now, and sat down by the side of me, I declare, I thought 1 cast a quick- glance round into her . fresh and highly colored face that she was just the handsomest creature that ever pressed the grass with her pretty, feet of a summer morning. ,' . ; .f , . - I went on with making my whistle how ever, and several times began to shave and peel my own fingers by mistake, instead of the twig of willow. She sat and watched me making her careless or sprightly f com ments as 1 went along. Now 1 hammered the twig across my knee with the knife handle. Now jl wet it in my mouth again, turning it over and over between my mois-' teaed lips. - Then 1 finally gave the tender . little stick a severe wrench, and the smooth bark turned round on the stalk as smoothly as if it had been greased underneath on purpose. ,,--- " What queer business 1" said Kaie gijj- xes, but" said I, cutting- the uoich through which the music was logo "yes but it don't seem so very queer to mr. Cou sin Kuie. I suppose it's because I've made so many "or them ? I don't doubt it," she relumed. And just then 1 applied the newly con structed instrument to my lip, and blew a low and monotous strain in her ears, thai sounded like the soft whirring of a lonely frog all up and down the meadow. The bobolinks put in afresh und tried to drown me oui. An oui rea oreasi turned up, in the willow branches just above my head. and thought it incumbent on her to defend her title to the mastery of homely sonir. To all this I had no sort of objection, 1 am sure. It helped ori the chorus' of musical emotions that were gelling a little tempest u ous just then in my heart " Kate," said I, my voice trembling somewhat, " I have made that for you ! wish yqu would accept it." I remember as well as if it were only yesterday how agitated i felt as I extend ed my hand toward her with the willow gift in it. She reached out and took it, and, with a very sweet sort of smile play ing aooui.ner mouth, said, 1 lhanto-you." How my heart beat then ! It beat a re gular tattoo against my waistcoat : and if ! - - . - sne naa eyes to see such things then, she could not help seeing the throbbing of my shirt-bosom, in which some of the willow chips and bits of bark bad become lodged. Immediately on touching my whistle she gave me a dre idfully roguish look it seemed to make me still more mad with my youthful passion and put it to her coral lips. Oh, how I then wished I was nothing but, a whistle and nothing but thai whistle, too ! Unable to express my rising emotions for they were getting along toward a crisis about as fast as they could I kept silent, feeling if 1 must choke tor it all ihe while. My face grew red and heated. 1 thought I would have given anything in the world if I could but talk just what I felt. Bui it was a vain wish, as everybody knows; for I did not know myself what I felt, and never could have begun to express it, if I had tried. Still I was driven on by a.blind impulse to say something. And out it came, I never pre tended to know how. Kato, said I, hitching up a Utile near er to her, "you won't be here much long er." " No," said she. " An't you sorry ?" " It is that which makes me feel so bad.' M Do you really feel so badx then, about it?" She gave a little ripple of a laus- . ns she asked me the question, which I diJn'l like at all, but which I tried very hard to for give. " res, Cousin Kate," I answered, drop. ping my voice to a very tender tone : for I love you." w Oh, that's it, hey V she broke out. more g.yly thnn ver. " You pretend to me mai you love me !" u 1 do, Kate, if 1 know my own heart. certainly do; I never have felt to anoihe as I do toward you." u that may be true enough. You mnv never nave hud much reeling for anybody else, any way I &ome person might huve trot Drovoked at mis ; dui u wouldn't do lor me I swallow ed it as well as I could, however, and thought of what I w-is aiming at. Kate, said I, just as seriously as pos- loie, wnue i likewise took her hand in mine, "let me tell you how much I love vou Oh, if you " it L". ,1.11 1 t i . r iuuie-ue-uee !" sne cried out. lumoinsr to her feel, and giving a good long blow thro' the whisile. " Bobolink, spink.sot-nk. spink tweedle-tweedle ! Aonsense, John, oon t be looush !" 1 protested ; but she laughed. I plead ; she laughed the harder. I begged her to believe me ; she put the whistle to her lips, ana mew out a low musical monotony. I sprang up, and tried to bold her fast ; but she run away like a fawn through the grass, making me go almost mad with the sight ot her beautiful ankles. We went home again, and I kept myself ciose. i couia not bear to speak with any one. It was a new thine- to me. that nne'a sincerest feelings could be thus held up to ridicule. I saw Kate no more on that day, nu sne suouia nave sought to have known the reason why. But the fact that she did not was evidence enough to a young man's conceit that she was not worthy of me. F or something more than twenty years I saw nothing more of my Cousin Kate. She went off" to the West, and marrie I some body I had never heard of. But he was a respectable and likely man enough, and brought some considerable property to the partnership. Only the last summer, and in the month of June, too, she came back to visit us again. She said she wanted to see the old place once more. What took up my attention as much as any thing, was the "raft of children ' she had about her. They were as thick as a swarm of locusts, and ten times as noisy. I confess I wasn't over much delighted with them, big or little. Well, she asked me to go down into the meadow with her. Of course I was nowise backward, though it brought up a great many unpleasant recollections again. We started off together, therefore, and soon found ourselves under the same old clump of willow trees where we had sat more than twenty years before 1 V "Can you make rae another whistle?" said Kate.looking quite sober as I thought. ' Uertainly " I answered : and began the dear old oer upatioS of boyhood again. As I worked, she talked; and now she spoke with true womanly frankness and freedom, one told me With her owa lips they were not' as red and fresh as they were once how disappointed she bad been in her aims in life; for, whereas she thought to have married a person of action and showy qualities, she found she had become the wife of one of the most domestic mm alive. - ; , u 1 should have had you, John," said she; and 1 thought her eyes grew moist as j she saiJ so. . - " An, but you would Yinve cut a sun sor rier figure with me!" said I laughing "bel ter as you are !" " 1 might have changed you. she re turned. tJut my husband will never change. 1 felt a sympathy for her then, that at another time I should in vain have attempt ed to fathom. " Fiddle, Kate I" exclaimed I, in high glee. Don't you remember the words you spoke to me twenty years ago? Let me repeat thero to you now Perhaps they'll apply to jour case : 'Fiddle-de-dee ! said you to me ' Bobolink, spink, spank, spink i weed le- tweed la J Nonsense, Kale ; doiit e "fbohsfi t" w - : And upon this I took the whistle I had just finished, and blew just such another 1 blast as she blew in my ears years before. I was unfeelingly paying her off in her own coin, bbe looked a belt full of dag gers at me, and I kept on blowing and laughing My wife is as good a creature as ever sat down to darn her husband s stockings She has made me I am fool enough to say it what I am ; but there's no telling what sort of a man I might not have been had I married my cousin Kate. I have no doubt it was best that i shouldn't. HORIBLE TRAGEDY. A horible tragedy occurred at Ber- gholtz, a German settlement in the town of Wheatheld, m this county, on Satur day night last, being nothing less than the cold blooded butchery of Dr. T. C. Strange, his housekeeper and his daugh ter by some persou or persons as yet un known. Sunday morning, as one of the doctor's neighbors was proceeding along the road leading trom Ihe doctor's house south, he came upon the lifeless body lying in the A !u - .1 fKt 1 ilJ:.A:j road wiih a pool of blood by its side. He had been murdered with an axe, he having been struck four blows- with it, one on the neht side of the face, two on the back of the head on upon the right sde. The murderer .evidently meant to make sure work, as either blow- would have killed the victim. On proceeding to his house, a mile distant, a still more horrible sight presented itself. Upon the floor was the bleeding corpse ot Mrs. JJarlean, the housekeeper ol I)r Strange, her head having been literally cut m two by th same instrument which had caused the death of the doctor, and a short distance hom her, upon the bed, was found the lifeless remains of the young daughter of Dr Strange. The girl like the others had ben killed by an xe. I he first blow had been given on the side of the face, and before the sec ond the victim had raised the arm in self defence and received the second blow upon the elbow and tleshy part of the arm. 1 he nrst blow must have t aueJ almost instant death. So far not the slightest due to the per petrator of this horible deed, or the oanse which led to it, had been elicited. A neighbor of Or Strange, who lives near by, was up all Saturday night finishing a pair of boots which he had promised, but said be heard nothing to excite his attention. The general - impression is that the person or persons who commit ted the murder went to the house and callad the doctor away on business He had a large overcoat on, and a lan tern, which he always carried when go ing out nights, was found near where bis body lay. It is supposed that after murdering the doctor the assassin went back and mur dering the woman and child to prevent detection. Mrs. Barlean, when found, had a candle in one hand and matches in the other, and was probably about to make a light when she was struck the deadly blow. Dr. Strange is a man be tween forty and nlty years old, and has a . i . i . . oeen in mis country anoui six years, ana has resided all this time at Bergholtz. no ocpoioi xnjixi iiw "o auuuuwu years ago, Buffalo. Since When Sue has lived in I Mrs. Barlean is a woman about thirty years old, and has kept house for Dr. S since his wife left She has a husband in Germany, whom she was expecting here daily. The other victim was Dr. Strange's daughter, a beautiful young girl about thirteen years old. Amid the speculations which such a startling. tragedy always gives rise to the only one which has pretended to give any so lution of the crime is this: There has been a. hoop maker living near Ber gholtz lor whom the doctor has practiced a good deal, and who owed him quite a large bill. Frequent quarrels have risen out ol this tact. This man moved to Buffalo a short time ago, however, and there is no direct testimony that h has I K... o t. -i i " . I (N. Y.) Courier.
