AttgtiHta Vivian at eight and twenty.
, Teopla were already beginning .to" speak
of'lier aa "an old maid;" the young, six
teen year old damsels thought her "shock
iugly, old, and Lily, her married bister,
.'.with : two .babies, patronized and pitied
,b.er. j ' i'. .
; ; -.l"Poor Gussie," f.aid Mrs. Lathrop, "it

. Why, I was .' enf iged before : I V was
18, and Gussie ia Uv urly 80. : . Ilowever, I
always wanted on otd maid sister to live
with me and help about tho children and
the housekeeping. " . ,. , . '
Yet Aiigit3t;i Vivian waa lovelier now
than she had been at eighteen." ; Not a
.wrinkle marred U.e marble smoothness
;of her browr the gold bright hair.wjived
in luxurious masse i'rom her blue veined
( temples, and tho bloom on her cheeka
was red and ripe as that of a peach and
yet she never yet had had one offer.. .
' It was hard, too. August Vivian had
all the wifely instincts belonging to every
woman worthy of the name eho had her
: aspirations, ' hopes, and dreams, and it
was dispiriting to see them blighted one
by one. V '
f Nobody cares for me," thought Au
gusta mouinfully,- and not, without a
epioe of bitterness in her dejection. V"Nq
maa ever spoke to me of Iove--no homo
over yet opened its portals to greet me as
its queen. Why n.jt, I wonder ? Am I
-unlike other women? Ami unworthy
of the destiny that fate has reserved for
them ? Here I live iu my little cottage
among the roses, solitary and alone, save
for Aunt Bes.si and the kitten, and here,
for aught I can &ee, 1 am likely to drag
'out the monotonous series of my daysv I
: wish I were' a man. Men - can go out
into the " world and forget all personal
trouble in that keen hand to hand con
flict which invigorates while it occupies
them; but "women can only sit at homo
with folded hands and aching-hearts,
waiting for the day to come which may
never dawn" - .' . r
And so it happened that Augusta Viv
ian had let a bright teardrop or two fall
upon the thlning folds of silver barred

of tlie cottage. A tall, handsome man,
with Spanish eyes, a rich, dark com'
plexion, and a beard soft and long as floss

of ' crimson which suffuaed Augusta

I found that tbe right ot VbMH?.lored man
to earb hss living, to enjoy the irmtr
industry was everywhere ... recognised
defended in the South, . I was convinced
that, in a caa at law ia a oourt " between a
white man and a negro, a white Jury wonld
invariably give the benefit of the doubt to
the negro. I found also thst the . negroes
scarcely ever suffer for any thin? so Jong as
their white neighbors .' hare ; anything ; to
give, bat at the same time I f mad a uni
versal disposition among the white people
against negroes holding office or having
control ia any way in government affairs..
This did not astonish me. It wonld be the
same way in my State if the negroes at
tempted to rule. I understand it is the
same way in the new Territory of . Oklaho
