BY TBS AUTHOR OF "TUB OLD BQUSB OJ4 ',' '. , ' 5BE CLOSS." '. ' " ( ! Down to the banks of the Thames slopes the lawn ut AVoodlauds,' the residence of Mra. Chriatopher Lane, widow; and beneath the bhad y limes, on what in termed' the "Croquet Ground,'4 far though sway from the geranium and verbena beds to do no mischief" to "thou,3 stood a party of four, mallet in hand, on a certain September evening, not very long agO. i . ,V. r: ;J-:'s; . . 1. . : "Well," said Carry Lane, "we had better make haute and choose bides, or we shall not have time for another game before we are benighted, lie member , tho evenings . are ; shorter than they were a month ago." . .- With a clever stroke of her mallet Carry sent her, croquet bail bounding up to the spot . where Mr. Hale, the curate,' stood talking to Major War der, of "the Blues,'4 ;audMi3 IIol royd, who, like himself, were guests at Woodlands for the evening. He gave a brink jump as. the ball came ith lull force , against;, his .ankle, looking hastily round at tlie pretty culprit, who laughed quietly beneath the shade of her dainty little hat and plume, her bright young face radiant with bloom and happiness. -; "You are a hard enemy, Miss Car ry," he said, coming towards her; "ho if we are to choose sides, I shall have you on mine." , "Very well," said Carry, no way displeased. "Let us bogin at once. Come, Clare, and Major Warder." : So the battle began in real earnest Clare Uolroyd and i he Major on one bide; Carry Lane and the curate on the ot her. Keport said this young curate, of Thamestown, wus courting pretty Carry Lane. Perhaps he was; at all events Carry knew 1est; and no one bad any right to set reports going until the fact was confirmed. But if it was true, then we can only say the curate was a man of good taste, and he might have gone very far before he would have found a prettier wife or a warmer heart than this little Carry Lane's. The other girl formed quite a con trast to her; t?arry was all brilliance aud color, with richly tinted cheeks, sparkling roguish eyes, and jet-black ocks; but Clare. liolroyd was t ale, wonderfully r alo and fair; it was on ly now and then that a faiut, soft ige of color would come into Iter cheeks and lighten up her deep gray eyes. Iter natr was very beautiful; it formed quite a glory round tbe pale face such real, bright, waving, gold-colored hair. A little rare smile would sometimes part tne deli cately curved l;ps, and linger there a while, and then it was , that you would call Clare Holroyd very lovely. She was tall and slender, and on this September evening her drc-ss was all white. Carry I dine had placed a b.t of bright scarlet geranium in the golden hair, which formed a fitting contrast. Carry had been telling the curate all - about Miss Holroyd, for that young lady nad only lately arrived on a visit to some mends in a names- town, and was not known iu tbe neighborhood. She had just passed tnrougn a "season in Aiondon, where Carry said she was "raved about." People called her a flirt, but Carry couldn t see it. unless tnat careless, bnlf-absent way in . which she allowed tbe assiduous major to arrange her croquet ball, watching bim with a look of calm indifference in her beautiful eyes, and sometimes tnat rare, sweet smile on her lips mii'ht be called flirtin". Tbe major was a sincere admirer of Alias liol royd's, but Carry denied there being anything in it. The curate shook his head, and "wasn't sure but what there might be." The game proceeded slowly, owing to the repeated "bad strokes of tne major and a slight absense of - mind on tbe part of tbe curate. : Presently there' came out through one of tne library windows wliicu opened on tbe lawn, a tall, handsome old lady, to look at tbe players. - "1 nave just left my invalid to him self for a little while. Poor fellow 1 I wish be was able, to be out here.' she said, ensconcing herself in a gar den cnair under tne lime trees. "Invalid awI".;Baid the major, ar ranging nis tawny moustacne, . and gazing sleepily at the speaker. "Who is he aw .airs. .Lane JJidn tknow you bad any one staying here.",. "lie nas been with usa week now, replied Mra, Lane. . 'He is a sort of connection of mine Captain Uuallo per, of the the just home from In dia, where he was wounded in the arm during the mutiny. - He is re covering that, however, though tbe arm is still in a sling; but he is suf fering from frightful depression and weakness, j after an ; attack of bruin fever. I got him here as soon as could for a change of air iuis is rather a romantic story." : "Like to hear it aw," .. murmured the : major, indefatigably smoothing his moustache. "Before he went to India,", said Mrs.. Lane, "his mother told me he met at a friend's house in London, a young lady she ' did not kuow ber name to whom he became attached and, in coarse of time, engaged. The wedding : day was nxed . and every thing arranged, when suddenly", to the surprise of all, the engagement was broken off, . The young lady went to Brighton, and Charley Coal loner to India. , No one knew exactly how it was, .and -Mrs. Challoner thinks it was because the girl flirted with other ' admirers, and Captain Challoner grew jealous; bo they quar reled, and however the girl may have felt after it, I know he has never got over it. and it is just that , wtuab is keeping him weak and depressed, and X much fear, he will never bs any better. He has only been away from England a year, ana here he is a per feot wrec-. ...It is. miserable to see a Hue Landnoina youDg; man . like that i at weak as' an iufunt. hardly able to move from the sofa, and so perfectly listless and indifferent," sighed the kind-hearted Mrs. Lane.' , , "He is such a downright good fel low, I don't know how any girl could have quarreled with bim," exclaimed Carry, -enthusiastically. -- "; ' The curate .looked around some what quickly. Was he growing sus picious? .Carry pretended , not to see the look he bent upon Iter, but she did see it, aud felt rather pleased than otherwise. i - ! "The girl must have boen a heart- ess coquette,. or. I do not believe he would have given her up. on any slight provocation, continued Mrs. Lane1. "Yet I think she could hot but reproach, herself for her conduct if she saw him now." , . ."Aw," said the major, "quite ro mantic. Lhall we aw see this hero, "Don't laugh at him, Major War der," cried Carry; "you i would give your, eyes to be half as handsome." rtgain the curate looked uncom fortable, but Carry relieved him somewhat when she added, "I have an idea that he is still devoted to tbe girl, whoever she may be. I have watched htm gazing out oi tne win dow, with such a far-away look in bis eyes, as 11 be were tuiuking oi nor and other days. "Aw shall we aw see him to night f" asked the major again. "I'ti haps you may induce him to come into toe drawing-room alter tea," said Carry. i Don't you feol interested aw and curious, Miss Holroyd ?' asked the major, going up to where she stood. She was p&le stall times, but at that moment Clara liolroyd s fuce was ghatly. "My dear, you are cold, said Mrs. Lane. "Curry, you must leave the game and come tuto the dining-room; there is a small fire there, and we will have some tea. Come, Clara, I cannot let you catch cold on my awn, or you will not be allowed to come here again." Mrs. Lane rose, took the young girl's arm aud led her to the house, the others following slowly. An hour afterwards, when the twi light mingled with moonlight, and cant shadows upon the stone balcony qutside the library windows, Captain Cbitlloner rosu up from the sofa, where he lad been lying all the after noon, and with weak, wavering steps, he strove to pace the room. He was growing weary of that tedious con- buement day after day. and be strug gled I'&rd agaiuetthe weakness which overcame bim. His left arm was bound up in a sling; with the right he steadied himself in !is walk, hold ing on by tbo bookcase, the table and chairs. Mrs. Lane bad called Charles Chal loner handoome; but strictly speak ing be was not so never had been. It ai a fine face, a noble face, ooe vou could trust in, one you might like to have near you in time of dan ger, doubt, difficulty or trial. There was intellect in tbo broad, high brow; there was tenderness and truthfulness in the large, sad brown a. ... . a eyes, which at times seemed to ue looking "far away, as Carry JUane said, and there was a brave firmness in -the mouth sad masnive c'tin. Presently Captain Challoner stop ped in the middle of his walk. His ear caught the sound of music in the serosa the hall. Young, sweet voices Bang "Annie Larrie." Slowly be staggered back to his sofa again, carrying a horde of half-forgotten memories with him memories which bad cone to India a year a?o with Jim, following him all through the scenes of war and death, and returning home again, only to bo banished by fever . and uncon sciousness. Back they flowed with double force as "Annie Laurie" broke on tbe stillness around. . . "Her song! her song!" ho mur mured. "I hoped I was forgetting her," The poor wounded band strug gled hard to cover his face, but only the right arm, was able to do its work, and the man -who had once been so strong and brave groaned in anguish perhaps for bis , helpless state, but me.hinks it was more at the memories which that old sons: recalled. "I could have borne it all had she not married him that fellow that f ool !" he trroaned. Ah, there was a wound' in Charles Challoner's heart far deeper than that in bis arm a wonnd which time did not heal. . -The openinor of 'the door caused him to look round;; then trembling, staggering and ghastly. be rose to his feet. Was it tbe ghost of his former love that came to him there in that moonlight silence, rob ed in white, with her pale, beautiful face rivaling her . dress? A moment she paused , then with outstretched hand Clare Holroyd came towards him. "Captain Challoner," she'said, "I beard vou were here, they told me you were ill. I am come to see you to to say I wronged you once in my cruel foolishness, but I ask you to forgive! ... ; v h Broken, disappointed and . almost incomprehensible as was her speech, na understood it. . ; . ... It was .no ghost then; it was re allv Clare Holryod bis first, his only love. !And the ..face he had wearied and pined to see was there now,, st his side, the moonlight play ing upon it, and upon the soft, gold en hair Clare Holroyd: more beau tif ul than ever, because of the pride, nauteur tnat was gone, and the gen tie, tender humility which had come Captain Challoner saw the danger. and remembered she was another man's wife. - Be took the outstretch ed hand, felt the' slender fingers clasp his own, then carelessly ooldly, he let it go, And Clare stood there looking, at him with a yearning, sor rowful pity in her face; she could boo how ill La Lad bean, how weak he was, and when her eyon ion on the 'at. a a' t a .a poor, helpless, wounded .arm, great tears -swelled , into, them.. How dif fooent to the Charlie Challoner of old! Bright, true hearted; noble Charlie Challoner,' who had gone away and left . her I because she had flirted "with PSir ; hilip .Fairfax,; in. stead of being contented . with ' his boucut love. . " - - " ''Qh, Charlie, Charlie, forgive me; sayou forgive me!'" she cried, in a low, sweet, blaiutive voice, forget ting all else but the memory of that old true love. - "Charlie, you should trot have gone away without a word that time. I know I deserved it; but I was true to you indeed, I was. I-ilevefreared foe-"ip;:t win- '...' t-'Hushrsuidhe- ... -r .. .Cold, stern and proud the. soldier threw her hand from his arm. It was the ' first word ; he bad spoken, and there was so sound of love or forgiveness, in the tone; it nearly broke Clare Holroyd's heart. "Hushl" ho , repeated. "He is your husband npw, Lady Fairfax. Do not prove your "truth to me by being fahW to him. 2 It is ; too late!" . "Who told you that I was mar ried?'' she criod, with a breathless gasp. . . , A bitter smile curled bis lip as he replied, "You forget that English newspapers travel to India; and though they may not always be the bearers of pleasant tidings, at least they are truthful. It was through them that I learnt that Clare Holroyd was married at Brighton, in January last, to Sir Philip Fairfax, the-owner of Duuedea ' Hall, Staffordshire, the - "The greatest fool in London," he would have added, in his bitter scorn; but he . checked himself, sinking wearily bock upon his back. ' There came a light over Clare Holroyd's face, the old glad light, which left it when Charlie Challoner went away so suddenly to India. It came back now, slowly, but surely. Standing there before him, with her bauds elapsed close together, trem b.ing with a strange new ' agitation, she questioned bim : 4 ' "if if I bad not married, could you have forgiven me, Charlie? Could you have loved me? He looked up to her. Was she trying to tempt bim? Why was her voice so sweet, her tone so gentle? Speak! tell me I she cried; "but for that, could you have forgiven me?" "I could," he replied. The light on the girl's face was creeping down to her heart as she seat ed herself on the sofa beside him. The twilight bod died away in the clear moonlight. There was no need of gas to reveal those two faces to each other. Clare's was not pale now; it was burning with a lovely color. " lou bad better leave mo now; I am not quite strong yet, he said, with a little effort. He was right; tbe old wouud was opened afresh, and tbe pain seemed greater than the old man could bear. "I know it," she answered. "In one moment I will leave you if you wish it. I want to ask you another question. Captain Challoner, do you remember my aunt and cousins at ILuley street? I think I introduced you to thera once." lie bowed his head. - J You ' remember the Kirls?" she continued. , There were four of them Grace, Mary, Julia and Clare." " "I never heard their names," he replied; "I only saw them but once, the day we met them in the park. 1 think you introduced Sir Philip Fair fax to them at the same time." . He spoke somewhat sharply, and with a weary impatience. ' Clare s voice trembled as she said, "I did; and four months; after he married the youngest girl, my oousin Clare. I am Clare Holroyd still." Then she rose up from her sofa, and he sat there alone. Tbe moon passed behind, a cloud, and there came intense darkness and silence over the old library at Woodlands, but it was only for a few minutes; then the clouds were gone, and there came flooding into that stillness a wonderful light, which found its way into tbe heart of the wonded soldier. "You will forgive roe now," said Clare; "you will tell me so before I go; it would make me feel happier, much happier, to know I am forgiv en. ' And may Heaven grant you may soon recover from this terrible illness, and yourself again." lie tried to raise . himself, but be had aire tdy tried himself to the ut termost; and now when this great joy, streaming, into his soul, .when the old wound was healing, be felt how miserably : weak and helpless he was to battle, even against that ' un speakable joy,' he looked at her, standing there in her beautiful young strength before him one earnest,' yearning, hungry look. ' ' - -" i , .. Clare saw the look. I She caw the weak, vain efforts to rise, and with a womanly tenderness she knelt down by bis side; two - warm, round arms were about his neck; andasbecaught her to his breast, she . heard tbe deep gasping sobs whjch rent the onoe strong brave man's heart. r "Charlie,' my own, my'- darling, don t, don t, she said,; and burnin passionate kisses were pressed on the pale, thin face, over .which the pent up tears fell.' ......... - f;r , How strong she was in his hour of terrible weakness, and how suooess fully at ' last , she soothed away those bitter sobs! ' With all the power of his right arm he held her there, and with her sweet' young face raised to his, het golden hair falling loose and unbounded upon his shoulder, and her lips now and then returning the caresses pressed upon them, "Clare Holroyd mads her peace with Charlie Challoner. v . . -. ,,; , . . .. , I f- Strakoscb intends touring Adalifja Fatti hete next Besson".""' - ; ' ttvnsv.wn MABltlED LIFE. . The Washington, correspondent of the. New Orleans 2'imef says; ... ; .Any reference to Senator. Sumner's domestic affairs create what tbe re porters call a . sensation'. He lives alone, in a very handsome style; in a house that was fitted up for. Mrs.' Sumner, . who prefers . a residence in Boston.'., She was a gay, fashionable widow, of rare beauty and. accom plishments,' when the' Senator was weak enough to woo and win' her He was about tbe last than o marry, or if marrying, she was about the last woman to select. ' Like all eminent men, Senator Sumner has more egot ism than intellect. Unless a man be lieves ia. himself he cannot make oth ers believe in him,,: And such was Sumner's creed in the worship of Sumner, that be wanted a wife to sit at his 'feet while at home and pour out unceasing praise, and during his absence , read ; bis speeches in the Globe, or those heavy volumes called bis Wvrka. Mrs. Sumner, however, had other notions connected with do mestic bliss. She married the Sena torthe ' distinguished Senator of Massachusetts', and proposed to en- I'oy tbe advantages, in a social way, ler position gave ber;'. ..;..,,. ..-.' Balls, parties, suppers, receptions, dinners; and bops; were her enter tainments, and the works of ' the statesman were nauseating to ; her. Instead of poring over musty , tomes and heavy state papers, and prepar ing from them tremendous speeches and reports, the Senator found him self dragged into entertainments he despised, and all his valuable time frittered away. Domestic incompat ibility began to manifest itself. 1 was wedded to my books before I married you," said tbe Senator, grandly and gloomily, when his wife asked u these entertainments were disagreeable, why he sought . her hand. - ..... Such like scenes as tbe following were common, and repeated by social gossip with a gusto: bumner and wile at a party time, past midnight, Mrs. S. whirling through round dances, excited and merry; the Senator grand, gloomy and bored. Sumner (loquitur) Mrs. Sumner, your carriage waits. Mrs. aumner Well, Senator, let it wait.- Sumner But, Madame, I wish to go home. Mrs. Sumner Well, Senator Sum ner, you have my full permission. Do, pray go home. You look weary and exhausted. By all means go home. r Probably the Senator would have accepted this advice both on this and other occasions, and returning to his studies, and left the charming wife to the gayeties of the season, but that a certain handsome diplomat readily took his place and became her com panion. Tiiis became so marked that at last the gossips took up the fact of tbe intimacy, and tbe saloons not lager beer but social rang with the talk. Senator Sumner was not only Chairman of the Committee on For eign Affairs in the Senate, but he was an intimate friend of the Secre tary of State, and one day the hand some diplomat was suddenly recalled. Whether Mr. Sumner bad anything to do with this or not, Mrs.' Sumner, it is said, so believed. But whether even this is sure, it is known that she was enraged And mortified by the report. She leit Washington for Europe. Her brsiher reached the steamer in time to prevent a scandal by sauicg with her. And when she returned it was with the positive de termination not to resume her place as Mrs. Sumner in Washington City, and she has since lived up to this. leaving ' this eloquent statesman to occur y bis handsome residence aione This is tho story of Senator Sum ner's married experience. . How true it may be I am not prepared to say, forlorn not acquainted with either party, and only gather up the gossip of society for your entertainment.': ' A correspondent of the Massachu setts Ploughman, has been testing pigs of the Berkshire and White Chester varieties side by side, to find out which is the best breed.

WE COXC17B, A WD BISE TO EX . SA.A1X. An article in a late number of the Slatetman devoted to vilifying W. II. Watkiuda, contained this: "The credit of tbe State is involved in the character of tbe men' who fill responsi ble poaiiions under it." , . True, every word of it. And now let ue analyae the character of the men who have filled respvtsaiLle positions in this State under Hetiuhlicsn rule and see whether or not tbo credit of tbe State baa suffered. We wilt commence with Geo. L. Woods, late Uuvernur. .. Who was he, and what wash's character wbereheia beat known? Jlo went into office a mend.cant and came out a capitalist on a $1,500 sala ry. His private character is that of a lecher and a hypocrite. . So vile were some nf his association tbat when he held tbe office of Governor, a certain Ship Cap tain refused to reenguize him, on his way home from San Franriaca. W bile on the canvass with Col. Krlley. crior to his election, at' Oakland, Wuods bod to be called away, by a friend, from the assocu- iiou oi an uia laviirue upon wnom be waa laviitbins; lascivious . endearment. As Governor of the State, ho received a bribe from a ring of speculators off the Govern ment to to t Washington and secure the removal of G&n. . Rouseau and tbe re turn of Gen. Steele to the command of the Department of Columbia that tbe aforesaid rinj mipbt fleece the Government bv se- tunnjc fat contracts. For thia niece of official pronitution . and . perjury, he .re ceived $5,000. It is currently reported and rcnemlly lelievsJ that he received money for tbe release of cwn riots frcdn the Peuitentinry. It is alo stated bv those who ought to know, that he was bribed to report favorably on certain military roods by which means the people were de randed out of immense oodios of tbe public land and certain incorporations made rich. Such ia tbe character of thj Ute Renublt can Governor, and yet the Statesman never tires in its laudations of him. " ' Kext ia tbe list, we will call the atten tion nf the Statesman and ita party to Sam. . May, late Secretary of State. What is he, nna where is be now? He is an em bossier and a fugitive from justice, . Not loss than $20,000 of the peoples' money he squandered in putting on aristocratic airs and supporting bimsell in regal splendor. lie even robbed orphan children bv steal ing from tbe escheat fund, and but for the vigilance of our. present Secretary., he would have got away with his spoils. these roots are notorious, and tbe Re publican papers of the State cannot 'suo cesslully controvert them.
