" And to give emphasis to the words,
Sophie Bedell stamped her tiny feet.
and swept her trailing robe of amber
iu diNUttinrully. ' Her white brow
was momentarily clouded. Hho toyed
with her pretty fan in undisguised
annoyance, never glancing once at the
face of her handsome cavalier, who
looked down lovingly half in pitty,
half in anger at the beauty at his side.
"Well, Sophie," he said, at last,
' am I to have the answer I have
waited for so long ?"
"I have just answered you, Mr.
Barnett. It is so never," she said
laughingly. '
" bophie," he said passionately, "is
there no hope can you never be
mine?" and the strong man's breast
heaved with suppressed emotion.
Her ruby lips curled scornfully, and
for the first time she raised her eyes
to his face, and withdrew them in
stantly, earing :
" Please let us return to the room
the air U chilly."
Sophie," he cried, grasping the
i'eweled hand, " Sophe, have you no
leart? Think of the future your an
swer involves. To me it would bo a
living torture ,'as endless life of woe to
you?"'
hat do you care what the future
is to me," she said haughtily. " Let
us return.
"Not until I have your answer,
Soplre."
' Mr. Barnett, would you detain me
against my will? I believe you forget
yourself, s. r."
Tardon me, Minn liedeu, i naa
forgotten ravnelf," he said, with quiet
composure that contrasted strangely
with the hery outburst or. a moment
before; ' we will return."
He offered his arm, and with her
lustrous amber silk sweeping after her
they entered the ballroom. Sophie
Bedell had plaved with the auecUons
of Clarance Burnett for over a year,
and after keeping him two weeks for
his answer, she bad refused him. He
was desperately in love with the little
flirt, and her refusal to become his
wife was a great blow to him. for he
knew very well that she loved him
with all the fervor of which her na
ture was capable; but bhe loved her
liberty and the pretty compliments
and homage she received as the reign
ing belle too well to . become his or
an v man's wife.
Her face was strangely pallid, con
sidering she did not love him, as it was
only a flirtation, for the time was so
tedious, as the same evening she bad
laughingly remarked to a friend, but
at all events I think w&are " diamnod
cut diamond."
Oh ! Sophie," said a young girl
ccming laughingly np, ' do come and
see Mr. Oscar play why, sue broke
off suddenly, " are you ill?''
For Miss Bedell bad fallen bock

Mr. Bariiett arose quietly.

. " Yes, please." - ; r
. She leaned heavily on his protecting
arm. He placed her in her carriage,
gave directions to the driver, to drive
her home, turned on his heel and en
tered the ball room, not even waiting
for the carriage to disappear . irom
view. - . .- , .
Sophie Bedell strained her eyes to
see the last of, the retreating figure,
and stretching out her arms, cried:
" Ob, Clarence! Clarence I come to
me I
But the carriage rattled away, and
her voice was drowned in the clatter
ing of the wheels. ' ?

" It is of no use, Sophie; our little
money is dwindling down to almost
nothing. We are very poor, child, and

Have you seen Clarence; Sophie?"
Sophie's dusky . cheeks turned
deep scarlet, her eyes dropped in con
fusion, and she stammered in confu
sion : : . ' '
" No, mother, .we have not met
since Mrs. De Moi s ball." x,
" Are you concerned in' his discon
tinuing his visits, Sophie? I thought
Clarence liked you. Tell me, child,
did you refuse him ?" (She queried
sharply). ' "
' Yes, mother; I refused him at the
ball," the said, in a low tone; " I am
sorry now, mother, for I liked Clar
ence." ;
' That is always the way in this
world renentonce comes too late.
You girls play with a man's affection
and throw him off for another.' Child,
you were wrong, Clarence is a good,
noble man. I have known him from
bis boyhood. The Barnett are very
proud, and he will not stoop even to
the woman he loves. You did verv
wrong in refusing him, child."
" 1 know it, mother, said Sophie.

" No, Miss, we have no vacancy at

rubbing together his red bands, and
looking in pity at the modest young
lady, who timidly inquired if he de
sired an assistant in his store. " But
may bo you'd like to rest. Take a
seat madam ; it's cold out, and you
look fatigued."
Thank you, said Sophie: I am
not very fatigued, and will not trouble
you. Good morning."
Good morning. Miss. If you will
call in a day or so I might know of a
place. . -
" Thank you, aud she passed out.

" Nonsense. Charlotte ! I can't be

Come, let's speak to her."
lbe idea, Charlotte 1 I am sur
prised. Why, here's Mr. Marlow."
Good morning ladies, said the
gentleman, and Sophie gave a single
look at one of the butterflies who haul
fluttered about her shrine, and theu
hurried on. She waited on the cor
ner for the numerous, vehicles to pass
before bhe crowed over.
" Dear me, girls, just look at that
figure !" said a bevv of young ladies,
all dressed in the Leigh t of fashion,
echoed the remark, and be'on laugh
ingly." i
" A modern Mother Hubbard," said
an exquisite, " Miss De Moi, if I were
you, 1 a cultivate that person s ac
quaintance, only to borrow her . ap
parel for your next theatrical perform
ance, and introduce Dame Crump."
' Bless me !" said the little lady ad
dressed, and who had not yet spok
en, ' girbi, you ought to be ashamed;
it's no one else but Sophie Bedell.
There, she heard, you;" for as they
approached Sophie had turned an in
dignant face toward them.
They all came to a dead halt.
"Sophie Bedell I Sophie Bedell !"
passed from mouth to mouth. " It
can't be 1 at all events, if it is we are
not expected to recognize her in that
costume.
" For shame, girls for shame 1 you
can do as you please, but Sophie was
my dearest friend, and her altered
circumstances can make no difference
with me; and even in ' that costume I
will recognize her,' " and the little
lady moved forward, while Sophie, to
escape ber former . friend, stepped
recklessly forth among the vehicles.
" Uack I back, there r cried a
man, trying to rein in a foaming span
of horses.
" Sophie I Sophie I" shrieked Miss
De Moi. "In God'B name come
back. You will "
The sentence was not finished, for
just as Sophie turned a white face to
ward, her friend, she stumbled and
fell, while a mottled pair of bays
passed over her. .
' A woman is killed passed thro
the throng, " No, she has only faint
ed. Make way give her air 1
The door of the carriage opened,
and a gentleman sprang out. ' ,
Some one bas been injured, I un
derstand," he said, and looked at the
face of marble whiteness to which his
eyes seemed riveted. . ,,;! ;
At last he said, "This lady is an
acauairtatice of mine," and he ' lifted
her into the carriage, and gave orders
to stop it the fir5t druggist s.
: ' SoDhia i Sophie!" he moaned.
" I can't helo ii. motner, sne mur
mured. I refused him. 1 love him

" Sophie! darling Sophie I love

. . He pressed her ' to his bosom, .and
rained kisses on the upturned face,
and their happiness was complete. " '
Nor was Mrs. Bedell at all averse
to her son-in-law. for she once more
jtQpJp posseesjon pf her former home,
it being pureh&aed and refitted by the
wealthy Clarence. . She has again her
carriage, and accustomed luxury and
comfort, and: she sighs as she speaks
of ber departed husband and says :
."Poor dear! he did it for the best."
i Sophie's j wedding i was lunostenta
tious, and ' when her 1 former volatile
ieompanions called to pav their respects
tq the Wealthy - Mrs.r JBaniett,. " Sophie
invariably answered, " not at home;"
' Her friends are as numerous as be
fore her father's failure; but the most
prized of all is Marietta De Moi, .' :
Sophie never trifles with ber bus-
band now, for she remembers how her
sorrow was caused by" only a flirttv
tatlon.
The Cincinnati Enquirer announces
after the fashion of Bonner's Ledger,
that it propose" contracting with
twelve distinguished United . States
Senators to furnish it with contributed
articles on interesting subjects. Sen
ator Morton, of Indiana, is to furnish
the first srticle on "Chastity." Es
say No. 2, on "Temperance, will be
written by Senator Yates, of Illinois
Senator Sumner will follow, on the
subject of "Domestic Bliss." No 4
will be furnished by ex-Senator Ben
Wade, and will be on the subject of
"Beauty of Expression." the object of
it being to denounce the profane hab
it of swearing. , Senator Harlan of
Iowa, will , contribute a powerful
letter on "Honesty the Best Policy in
Public Life," with allusions to Indian
Treaties generally.' And Senator
Sherman of Ohio, will supplement
this with one on the "Art of Getting
Uich rosily. Senator Chandler is in
reserve upon any of these subjects,
should tno regular contributor fail.
The Enquirer has a good card in these
essays. , ,

States. ' .We predict the October and
November elections in the North will
utter a -voice more ominous of its con
demnation than those of .Kentucky
and North Carolina in tbe , South.
w bat a good many timid people in the
South have thought a wild and impos
sible dream, is actually proving a near
reality. The people of the United
States are at last conscious of the tur
pitude of the Radical party, and mean
to expel it from the Government and
restore the old constitution. And
here we discover immense importance
of fighting the battle against iiadical
ism on . the highest constitutional
grounds, so that when the victorv
shall have been won,' the victors will
not have to pause to inquire " what
principles have been : vindicated and
established by out triumph?" And
there is a virtue in a high standard of
party creed, before, as well as after,
the victory. Men will fight better for
true; open, just and . noble : cause,
than upon time-serving and mere vote-
catcuing piauorms. u there ever
was a political battle in which Vital
principles of r gbt and justice were at
stake, it is tbis one. JLet us fight it
up to the mark, and on the broad
ground of "the Constitution as it was."
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Gazette feels confident that
the next House ot Representatives will
be very differently constituted from
its infamous predecessor, and in that
view it comments upon the result and
makes these timely remarks upon the
importance of the exalted standard of
principles upon which the Democratic
party of the United States is fighting
the battle :
Now, the Democratic Conservatives
hereabouts, and still further South,
desire to- be put on record (so that it
may hereafter be referred to as docu
mentary evidence), that tbis glorious
lit, and the brilliant future that
awaits the constitutional party, have
been achieved by a persistent opposi
tion to all and every one of the infer
nal projects, tricks and contrivances of
the Radical faction, beginning at tbe
beginning and ending at tbe ending of
its career of twelve dismal years of
triumph. It is to be further noted
, - . ...
auu recoruea, uiai our ongnt proe-
eci-ceriain success, indeed is tbe
egilimate fruit of a firm determina
tion never to lower the constitutional
standard a single inch : and utterlv
to repudiate all attempts to ignore or
txtp out of vkw tbe principles of the
party, which are the same to-day
they were in I860, when the destinies
of tbe country passed into the hands
of men who have welrriigh destroyed
a a an a. . .
its nionus, ; ana wnony disrupted its
elements of prosperity as well as
subjected its people not only to des
potic rule and private oppression, but
to the undisguised, derision of man
kind. 'With a President taking his
seat on tbe 4th of March, 1873, back
ed by a majority in the popular branch
of Congress (then, beyond doubt), we
can commence the great task of restor
ing tbe country to constitutional gov
ernment, to be administered upon tbe
principles of honesty, and real econo
my. - JThe Senate, .aa has been long
ago demonstrated, Will be powerless
to thwart the will of the people.
Can any man who is trying to bide
away the greatest political crimes of the
Radicals and to drag down our own
standard to a near level with theirs, in
order to make it palatable to . thin
skins, sneaks and negroes, read these
manly words without feeling a flush
of shame on his cheek ? 1 ' -
A Fcnmy Lncident. George Las-
cells, in a letter to the New York Clipper,
relates a fanny incident which happened
at the old Albany Museum, in the good
old times when, the drama, wax figures,
and other cariosities were in vogue at
tbat placeiU uvilA, z. .
On the Fourth, of; J.nlyfc1852, a patri
otie additioa.to.lbftvab.ow being desired,
Charles Salisbury, a comical genius, no
torious for bia practical jokes, was chosen
to represent George Washington, and, of
course, -'Was dressed ra the traditional
costume. The doors had just been open
ed ;fori the evening performance, and
visitors had commenced thronging' the
curiosity Tooms ': when a mischrevions
idea struck Mr, Salisbury, "who opening
the door of one of, the wax 'work cases,
unobserved, took a position, among the
figures and tried to look immovable as
possible. ' A ' countryman, his wife ' ami
daughter, a young miss of 18, were the
first who entered. J Aa the young lady
approached Washington, he bestowed on
her a most nnsaintly wink. "Good
mprniog, ma," exclaimed he, " that fig
ure of Washington winked, at . me."
M Nonsense, child,'1" exclaimed ma, " you
think everybody is ;'inioVe with you'
But at -this 'moment c she ' was : almost
speechless herself, for . the . venerable
Washington had applied his. fingers to
his nose in a yory suggestive manner.
Oh,.Willianit she ' exclaimed, J grasp
ing her hdsband'a arm;"do look at that."
What is it ? asked William ; " Why
I believe you women folks are craiy."
At thia moment v General "Washington
struck a; beligerent attitude and uttered
a terrific yell. 9 Jn an instant the whole
party tumbled down stairs, pell-mell, and
related the wonderful story, while Wash
ington quietly slipped off to his dressing
room, laughing ia his sleeves at the
joke.

THE eilAMCEsI IM BATTLE.
' When the famous Marshal Soult vis
ited England, a story appeared in the
newspapers to the effect that. some.
English veteran had declared the hero
must bear a charmed life, for that he'
(the soldier) had covered him with hi
rifle upward of thirty times, and: yet
never nit him, ; It is not at all snrpria-
ing that the uneducated believed some;
men to bear charmed lives, when, we)
remember Napoleon at the bridge of
Lodi, and again at Areola, where, it'
is set down in . history,; the .Austrian'
artillery swept off everybody but him-;
self within a circle where ae was stand-?
ing, yet be led the way across the?
bridge unharmed though the. grapes
rattled in a perfect "bail-storm -around
him- Tbe same may be said of Wei-,
lington at Waterloo, where, it. is re-'
ported, that every man of his staff was-
either killed or wounded, and be had
for a while to do their work until oth--ers
could be brought up from the otb-"
er line, he escaping all the while on-,
touched, ', Many more instances, of
such exemptions from the havoc going'
on all around can be found in history,.'
but these are two remarkable : cases,,
familiar to some people,: It will, be
found that the majority of officers of
the higher grades survive not only one
but many 'battles. Mr. Galton esti-
mates this majority at sixty per cent.r
but bis figures do not bear out bis tbeo
ry. He bas selected a list of thirty-:
two of the most eminent commanders j"
but of these only seven' died on the
field of battle, which would make tbe'
proportion seventy-eight per . cent. -
The most formidable enemies an army
has are camp-fever, privation, oyer-:
fatigue, and too great exposure to heat, -cold
and damp, and the carelessness
of the men. These kill three times.
as manv men as the bullet does : and.
or - - - k . i
yet the bullet kills its thousands, not-,
withstanding the large chances in fa-(
vor of the escape of any individual
soldier. -...'( : .:: i:l.-'-.;t

This, savs tbe the correspondent'

exhibitions of ortitude and determi-.
nation, on the part of the two persons
interested, ever exhibited ' in East
Tennessee. Mrs, Bailey was a-widow"
of two month's mourning.' She was
fair beyond the usual fairness of her
associates. Bill Rogers was, himself r'
a comely rough country youth of 19",
years of age. A week before the mar
riage, tbe widow Nancy visited the'
residence of Bill's maternal parent,!
and luckily found her in the field and:
Bill in the house. - Nancy is to; all in-,

went to work at once.' Drawing a'

Says Bill, in reply; first-rate.'
Says Nancy, straigbtening berself npr
and. throwing, out- ber - magnificent
chest, " Bill Rogers, how do you like'
thia?" Says Bill; " bully."i Says'
Nancy, "Bill Rogers, get the license
and it'B yours." Says BiBy1! Ill haw

for Sevierville, for the. license. But
alas I Bill bad'nt tbs necessary sum

home again, entered, bis bouse before
his family, and, without saying, av
word, took from his- rack his rifle-gun,'
and placing it on his shoulder, again
left. No one seems to know any fur-.
ther particulars. It is known that Bill
got tbe license, but he: brought ' no
gun back with him. , At twelve o'clock
at sight, .Esq. .Pickens was called for.
most imploringly; to perform the marv
