BY MARY 1IEW1NS BURN1IA.M. CHAPTER I. Tho carriage of M;ulamo Clarice Spencer wliirlctl into the long maple avenue that led to tlto heautiiul homo of that proutl dame, ami within its lnistrcKH lolled hack upon its crimson cushions, tho incarnation of satisfied prosperity. Hut at mi opening in tho road that led to tho littlo artilieial lake, Madatuu Kprang impetuously fur ward ami east an angry glance at a couple who wero just disappearing down the shadowy path. The noise less wheels of the luxurious coach had not been noticed ly the pair, and the lady alighted a few rods further on, and, saying she would walk up by the tlower border, dismissed tho ser vants to tho stable, paused an instant till the carriage was lost to view, then swiftly turning, she followed the two figures whose appearance in the shrub bery had ho startled her composure. A few steps brought her to the little lake", whoso edge the grand walk en circled like a huge gray snake. J So hind the walk ran a cypress hedge, and the lady passed swiftly in tho shadow of this hedge to the rear of the gentleman and lady, who hail stopped at a rustic seat, ami were the objects of her wrathful curiosity. The girl was not more than eight een, and the strong resemblance she bore to the listener behind the shrub bery, the rich robe that fell about her, the diamonds that glistened in her ears and on her tiny lingers, told plainly tdu- was the daughter of the lioue. And certainly the presence of her companion as high-bred enough the liiee noble and tie carriage proud enough to suit even the taste of the ambitious Madame Clarice. Hut the tall, arisiot-ratie young man was neverthek-s the private tutor of a iifi-'hbor's son. and alreadv some caMial remark among the servants had reused the mother's su-pifioiis. She had sHkeit to K-lith of the intimacy which might cause idle tongues to connect their names as she would never like to hear them, and the daughter, with much of her mother s temper, had rip-lied bitterly. Though the discussion wa-t dropped for tlto time, and Kdith had seen less of the tutor, still the heart of Madame was nut piitc satisfied. "Kdith was so iL-adstrong, and Granville Dunbar wa so iian.isome, snc rcaoneu, mat it eal'y uas extremely natural they bouid be fascinated. Hut beyond a iirtalion the ambitious mother vowed it shouia never go. .And "now as she crouched behind lie hedge, where every word was ae.iiole to me i:ieuer, site eei i;cr i-eth and lingers together in a rage as she heard h-r daughter, on whose lu ture she built so many proud hopes, over and over again assure tho beg- arlv tutor thai she "would never cease to love him, and w hatever oppo sition was in store for her, she would brave everything and become his wife.'' Then the deep, loving tones of the tutor's voice fell on her outrage! ear, as he planned for the future, with the slight figure of Kdith elaped close to er lover s protecting oreoi. Clarice Spencer fairly held herself to prevent interrupting this exasper ating interview, but by powerful ef forts she restrained herself, as she felt fcure interference would hasten the catastrophe of this damning marriage which was being planned under her indignant maternal hobo. ,o some htrategy was necessary to separate the lovers, which she was eoual to. Hut no open opposition would ever effect her purpose, and with this determination she smoth ered her wrath, gathered her silks about her, and quietly Hole from the ppot that held the unsuspecting lovers. An hour later, w hen Kdith passed to her own room, she spoke lor a mo ment with her mother, who was ap parently absorbed in a new novel. "Edith, fcam the latter lauy, "tins book has filled me with a desire to re visit Europe. I really believe, if I can arrange my affairs with my agent and Mr. )unbar, you and I w ill get away early next month." "I'rav, w hat can .ur. uunnar nave to do with your intentions?" ques tioned Edith. "I w ill tell you," pursued Madame Clarice, "1 am going to propose he shall take tho house I have empty in the village, and open an academy of 15 or 20. besides our three, it will make me far more comf ortable abroad to know that Edwin and John and Burly are all together under Mr. Dun bar's teaching and care." Edith thought long upon this plan of her mother's before rdio slept, and gov erned partly by her desire to go to Europe before she was so situated, perhaps. &3 to be unable to go, and partly "by the desire that Granville might have the opportunity of being something more than an humble tu tor when she became Mrs. Dunbar, as she was determined one day to be, she finally concluded that it was just the thing for her lover, and madenfip her tnind to persuade him to vie v it in the same light. While Edith turned over her moth er's proposition, that mother sat brood ing in her own room over her deeply laid scheme for punishing Dunbar's presumptuous hopes, the young man himself was writing In an upper room of old Winter's house, to his dearly loved twin-sister Nell, who was then at a celebrated seminary, kept there by the generosity and self-denial of her brother. U pon the large loois cap sheetof Ms weekly letter, he de scribes to Nell his charming Edith : he dwelt long and fondly upon the love he hoped to see grow up be tween the two. , And the sister to whom this letter was .addressed was well worthy the confidence ol her devoted brother. Ellen Dunbar was no common girl, either in personal or mental attrib utes. She was strangely like her brother. Every feature of his handsome face was reproduced with more delicacy in Eleanor's. Tho mono sad eyes, blue almost to blackness, fringed with jetty-curled lashes ; tho sumo proud curl of nostril and lip, that gavo a hauirhty look to both facts: tho same high-born air, made Nelly tho very ! imago ol her brother, and n very beau tiful girl also. Quick to be won by gentleness and affection, she was a person w ho under circumstances could bo nu avenging fiend. She asked no happier fate than to share tho homo of her loved broth er, and though her beauty nnd grace had already brought admirers, eager lobe accepted as lovers, Nelly Dun bar indulged in no dreams of tho fu ture save tboso connected with Gran ville. CHAPTER II. "Oh. madamc, how strangely I have misunderstood you; how deeply I have wronged you !'' spoke Grauvillo Dunbar, in the enthusiastic gratitude of his heart, to Clarice Spencer, when, after a long confidential interview, she proposed to loan him $.",0U!), with which to fm uii li his house and begin his career as Professor of "Dunbar's Preparatory College for Voting Gen tlemen." its title and its specialties, its political and religious tenets, were duly discussed, and tin; astonished and fluted gentleman left his wily patron, to seek out ami share his happinesss with the lovely Kdith. It was now understood between mother and daughter that after a vear's sojourn in Europe, there would 1 i ... : .... i.' i i ... i : . t. .. ou no uojeciiuns to i .uiin i sii;u wg inu fortunes of her tutor loier. All the shadows that had hung over their early love seemed mysteriously dis sipated, and they looked forward to the end of the probationary year with lolitrhted anticipations. Immediate preparations for the departureof Mad ame Clarice and her daughter were made, and Granville, already in pos session of the mansion assigned f..r the academy, accompanied his lady , hue and her mother to the city, to see j them off on the steamer, and to make j various purcha-ies for himself. It was the morning of their departure. Kdith went out for a few minutes on some tr J'ing errands, and Madame and her prospective son-in-law sat together. "Hut if this astronomical apparatus is neeessary, you should have it, Dr. Dunbar, and the clos of studies to be pursued at your institution will render this library of reference another ne cessity." said this lady. Verv true," replied Dunbar, "but it would take fully a third of the money you have so generously fur nished. Kui'.ling the dormitory will certainly cost mo fully gJ.W'j, and therefore for the present I must do as w ell as I can without them." "Mr. Dunbar," rejoined Madame Spencer, '"I may at once add a bit to the original sum, and at once place you beyond the perplexity of doing without these things. I have no more checks with me; let mo see the one you have. I believe I can render that available." Granville Dunbar fairly glowed w ith pleasure as he handed the paper to the lady. "Ah, madarne." he said, "I am con fident of the success of the academy ; it will be but a matter of a little time. I can amply repay you, principal and interest, of this money. Hut never can I repay the noble generosity you have shown in placing in iriy i.ower to become worthy of your beautiful child and the proud position of son to so magnificent a woman as yourself." "Foolish fellow," returned Madame, as she took the paper; and there was a strange glitter in her dark eyes as she bent them on the enthusiastic face of her daughter's suitor. Kor a mo ment she read tho paper irresolute. "I believe" "That sum is sufficient, dear mad arne," interrupted Dunbar; "yon will need your ready money. Kdith will see a thousand things in Europe that she should have. Tho darling! She ought to be a duchess." Mr. Granville Dunbar by these words turned the wavering scale. If rnadamc had felt a moment's compunc tion, the aliusiou to Edith confirmed her original purpose, ami firmly grasp ing the pen, she smilingly swept into the adjoining room. There she hurriedly Kcarched amid the articles in a satchel for the neces sary pen and ink, and with them she brought to the table a small vial of acid, with which she catefully erased the written word "Five." anil then writing in the space the word "Fif teen," she added the figure 1 to the 5 in tho left hand corner; and behold, to tho order of Granville Dunbar, there stood the noblo sum of $la,000 Words fail to describe the astonish ment of the young man as this check lay presently m Ins hand. "Hush," said the lady, "do mo a fa vor say nothing to Edith of this ad dition to your funds ; I desire it to be a secret between us. Whom should I benefit," she continued, "if not the chosen of my only daughter's heart. The sum seems large, but you will nnd a w ay lor every dollar ot it. Edith's entrance, and the fast ap proaching departure with its attend ant hurry, prevented.any further out break of gratitude on Dunbar's part At noon he saw the last of the lovely 1 T . 1. S" 3 1 .1 XiUiin anu uer generous mouier. Shortly he retraced his steps to his hotel, and spent the evening dwelling in mourniul tenderness on his depart ing Edith, and in cheerful anticipation of her return. The next day, after the bank was well under way with the day s business, he presented his check to the paying teller, who went and communicated with the cashier, who went inside to consult the president, After still more delay the first gentle man returned with the second, and asked him to walk inside and see the third, Granville began to be exceed ingly confused at the suspicious scru tiny of the trio. The president sat with his check in his hand, and a mi croscope lay on the desk before him. "Young man," he said sternly, "I suppose you want the money for this check." "I certainly do," returned Gam ville. "Well, can you give me any infor mation concerning this business V Aro you the Mr. Dunbar to whoso order this is payable ?" said the banker. "I am' "Humph ! I suppose you know you have to bo identified V" "I had not thought of that ; but I can produce responsible parties who know me. I presume I can find them before banking hours aro over ;" and Granville reached his hand to recover his check. "Not so last-, youug man. This check has been altered from a small amount to the largo one it now repre sents," Granville was becoming irritated by tho manner of tho man, and rather strongly burst forth : "Well, if it has' Mrs. Spencer al tered it from S',0y0 to $lo,000, the day sho sailed." "Oh! she did? And that's strange," said the banker, slowly. "For she has. not a dollarat her credit, over and above tho sum you first stated g.i.OOO." Granville Dunbar fairly gasped. "Why, Madame Spencer must have known tho amount shu was able to draw upon you for?" "I should think so, too. Well, young man, your story may be cor rect; but in our business we generally take the benefit of the doubt, and, un til Madame Spencer can be communi cated with, we shall have to detain vou. And tuns it came about that Granville passed this night much more sadly than the previous one. Day after day passed on. The steam er that bore Madame Clarice and her laughter arrived safely at Southamp ton, and that lady found a telegram awaiting her at her banker's in Lon don : What was amount of check in favor of Gram ille Dunbar? One presented for $15.Ui0, claimed to have been al tered by yourself. Alsl.i: Nt)i:Tll.VM, l'rts't Fifth National Hank. And apeed'.lv across the Atlantic lla-hed the reply : Cheek to G. Dunlmr for So,Ul)-) ; never was altered bv myself to a lar ger sum. Ci.auk e Spencer. London, Eng. And Gram ille Dunbar woke to the lorrible plot that, miccesfulh carried out. had ruined him, when he thought his fortune was brightest. The officer of the bank, incensed tt what they c:.!lcd the unheard -of impudence of this hwiud'er, prosecut ed him for the offence charged, with out delay. Clarice Spencer's deposi tion was sent front iAMidou, where Kdith was overwhelmed with sorrow and agony at this terrible act of her lover, and within one short month ol that fatal day, when the victimized voting iiiau had accepted the bouuty ofthe deep scheuiicg mother, Grau- vule Dunbar was tried, convicted and sentenced. Who shall describe the agony of that one friend of the convict poor Nelly? She had left her school at the first unhappy adventure of her loved brother, and as tho horrors of his situation gathered quickly about him, she struggled with her own sinking heart, and bent every faculty to cheer and support the poor, help less, injured fellow. Granville agr.in and again detailed to her every word atid act of that morning, until it was if she had been an actor in the fearful scene, where the beautiful woman, with smiling face, had schemed and accomplished her brother's ruin. Utterly crushed in mind and body. Granville lay yet in the city ptjson, too ill to bo moved. Aud, as if to destroy the last gleam of light his darkened life w as ever to know, one moring Nelly failed to come. Hut at night the warden came to him with a note from the poor girl. Sho begged him to hold body and soul together for just a little time, for her sake for Edith's. She had en listed the sympathy of a prominent official, who had promised her he should not be moved from his pres ent quarters for two months; under plea of his illness he should be de tained until she got back ; where she was going she wrald not say. Hut again she passionately burst forth and begged him not to consign her to madness, by giving way to tho trouble that beset him. To wait patiently only two months. That was all she asked, and with this prayer Nelly was gone. CHAPTER III. If Clarice Spencer had, by her dar ing plot, saved her daughter from what sho considered an awful fate, the wretched mother now began to think it was only to consign her to a grave. For after the first awful shock Edith had lailcd to rally, but laid languidly about her apartment, never smiling and scarcely speaking, her slight fig ure growing more slender each day. Madame Clarice saw with unspeaka ble terror the rings on tho transpar ent fingers becoming looser, the beau tiful eyes large arid restless. No effort was spared to 'win the suffering girl to health and cheerful ness. Hut in answer to all her moth er's entreaties, she would say, " Moth er, I cannot forget him. Unworthy as I have proved him, I love him yet, and I can no more forget him in his sin and shame, than if he had been lost to me when I believed him ill that was good and noble." The doctor said time alone could deaden the Buffering she endured, and the guilty mother, with a Binking heart, asked herself if the girl could last till time brought comfort with its changes. Then there came a day when Edith had a stranger, visitor, who after a brief interview, left only to return and spend half the night with the sick girl, and on the morrow there was a new aud strange look on Edith's face as she met her mother's gaze, that made the strong woman tremble and turn away. Edith was more si lent aad preoccupied than ever. Clarice t roposed their getting away to Home itn mediately. Hut her daughter said " Never. I shall never leave this hotel Imt for my grave." And completely unstrung bv the girl s manner and looks, the unhappy mother burst into a torrent of tears beseeching her child to leavo such gloomy thoughts, to come with her to change of scene, forgetting one so ut terly mi worthy of her love as this man had shown himself, to live for the mother who loved her better than all the world besides. At the instance of Dr. Crary, the French maid, Hortonse, was supersed ed by a very quiet-looking English nurse, whose smooth gray hair and close cap, grave manners and dress, stained to Madame Spencer's jealous eyes, but to increase the sombre sur roundings of the sick girl. Edith, however, took a fancy to this nurse who certainly showed great sympathy for her charge since, on several occasions, Clarice found Edith weeping on thJ nurse's breast while the third attendant evinced almost as much emotion as her patient. Hut now Madame Spencer began to show symptoms of illness herself. There was a haggard look that spoke of bodily suffering, as well .is mental uneasiness. Finally she consulted the physician she believed her mind was giving way night after night she had been awakened, to see stand ing beside her bed a young man she knew to be in America. She knew he was awake she knew it was an objet created by her imagination. Therefore she was becoming unspeak ably alarmed at tho condition her hitherto strong intml must be in aud tho doctor prescribed soothing draughts. Hut all in vain. Ilorlense was startled by her screaming mistress in the dead hour of bight, and add ed to the terror of Madame Spencer by swearing she saw a cloud of vapor like smoke roll from the door leading to Mademoiselle Edith's apartments. It was late the next day before the victim of these midnight visitations was sufficiently comixx-tcd to appear before her daughter, and when the did, she loutid Edith ghastly, as, shrouded in w hite, sho reclined upon the nowy bed, was draped with heavy lace curtains. Her small arms thrown over her golden head, and the beauti ful face as white as the lace and mus lin that surrounded her. Edith was very weak, the nurse said, had passed a troubled night, and madamc shudered as she thought up on her own experience. There w-as little said between mother aud daugh ter, but far into the night Clarice stole into her daughter" room, and dis missing Mrs. Elliott, the nurse, pro posed to sit with her suffering child. Kdith had fallen into a restless sleep. Sho weakly rait-.cd her thin hand as if beckoning to an unseen per son. She murmred faintly, and Clarice, kneeling bedside the bed, bent over her child till she caught the hardly uttered sentences: " I w ill, Granville," said the girl, " I will. She has parted us on earth, but I sliall join you soon. Ob, mother, to lose my faith in your love ; to lose all; I have uo other charm to hold lue. Vou need not press my heart so, Granville, I will cone. Take your hand off my heart, take ' Kdith raised herself upon her el bow. The distracted mother stretch ed forth her hand to waken her laughter, and prevented her rising. Hut as she leaned forward, the cur tains on the oposite side of her bed parted. Within the lace, framed by a misty vapor, stood Granville Dun bar, the pallor of marble upon his lace, the big, sad eyes fixed upon Edith in a garment that looked to her startling vision like the habit of a grave. Slowly he passed his hand over her sleeping daughter's head aud laid it on her heart. The girl fell from her halt risen posture back upon her pillow. And Clarice Spencer fainted with horror beside her. An hour after the faithful Mrs. El liott had restored the poor woman to her senses, and had won from her, in excited and half frantic condition, a full confession ot her guilty device to separate her daughter from Granville Dunbar. " Oh ! be sure, Madame" said the worthy person, " Miss Edith will die ami you will never know peace unless this wrong is righted. Miss Edith has seen in her dreams the whole thing, for she goes on pitious to hear about her mother and the awful guilt, which is to be avenged by her death only. I think this Mr. Dunbar ain't dead, but he's the same way as Edith. I do believe they aro both dying." "And all this is in consequence of my sin," Robbed the miserable mother. "Mrs. Elliott, ask Dr. Crary to see me immediately." And tottering to her room, Madame -Spencer, utterly broken down by the events of the last ten days, covered her aching eyes with her trembling hands, aud waited the doctor's coming. lhe result ot this interview was speedily known, for tho first returning steamer bore with it Madame Spen cer, Edith and the nurse, Mrs. Elliott. It was strange to watch this woman's impatience when the journey was near tho end She paced the deck continuously. The faded gray hair, the greenish hued sectaoles, the rest less figure, came to bo types of anxie ty and unrest to the passengers. Hut Madamd Spencer was too much pre-oceupied with her invalid daugh ter and her own thoughts to notice much that passed around her. And after they reached New York no time was lost in seeking her lawer. Long anil fiprmns nfinlt.ationa Pnanpd hi - tween the officers of the bank and those of justice. A full confession of the whole transaction was drawn up, signed and sealed by the repentant and broken Woman. Oh, the mortification and humiliation that that proud woman suffered, as she read in the faces of all around her the scorn they felt for her discovered sin. The day of Gravillo's release he Avas conveyed directly to the bedside of his faithful Kdith. whose joy can be scarcely imagined, and the nurse, Mrs. Elliott how she clung about Gran ville's neck and wept tears of such heartfelt happiness as seldom wet the eyes of mortals. "And Edith is not half as sick as we made out, dear boy," said that worthy woman. "And you will go now to Paris, away from all that can remind you of the last sad months. Oh, I am hardly able to realize that this is not a dreun," and tho good woman stole a tearful smile from Edith's pale face, as she deliberately marched Ufta glass, pulled her cap and the gray front off her head, wrapped up her spectacles in them, and throwing them out of the window, stood confest iu all her beauty, the loving, faithful Nelly, who, by her wonderful resemblance, hal personated her brother's Spectre, till the guilty heart of Clarice Spencer could bold its secret no longer. And could the party have seen the look of consternation that crept over the face of a person concealed in the next room, as she saw the whilom Mrs. Elliott's metamorphosis, they would have felt that, cunning as her wicked ingenuity bad proved her to be, iu a simple girl she bad tcet her match, who opposing plot to plot, had beaten her. And now once more upon an out ward bound vessel, behold Edith and her husband, who, in the happiness of the present, is fast forgetting the trials through which he lately passed; and beautiful Nelly deems her cup of carimy unss iuu; mat the sun w brighter for the storm just over, and mat. uiiuihicnn w orauvnie ana me new sweel sister, tho will be forever J l.'l, t.,- C. t.,.r. t l i l ' muj mill unuj W t U C 1 1 home in beautiful Puris, where Gran ville has very fine business prospects, which, however they may all, can not bring poverty to the loving xio, for Madame Clarice ha3 added many thousands to the sum of that fatal check, striving to buy of those sho has so deeply injured the forgiveness she feels bhe has no right to expect.

In other words we find that it costs annually $124,000,000 more to con duct the government under a Radical than under a Democratic administra tion. And this is the testimony of their own Secretary of the Treasury 3TAME OF Sam Colver has found a new griev ance. Having demolished whisky, destroyed slavery, annihilated his op ponents in the Hadical party, and made of himself a nuisance generally. he ban gone off on a crusade in Northern Oregon against the Swamp Land Law. He did not commence his crusade nearer home than Eugene City, because we know him and his antecedents' so well here that Samael concluded it would be an nphill bjs iness. As many persons in the north ern portion of the State do not know this new Apostle of the Anti-Svamp Land Dispensation, we 2ropose to enlighten them a little. Colver denounces what he calls the "Swamp Land King," and yet be longs to a land ring so despicably mean, that all other rings sink into utter insignificance in comparison to it. We charge upon him, without fear of successful contradiction, that he and three or four of his confreres on Link river sqnatted on State lands, and held the sarna fur four years, without paying one cent to the State for them or a mill to the county in taxes. We charge further that this "Colver Iting" fenced in thousands of acres of swamp land to which they had no shadow of claim, and used the same for their benefit and exclud ed bona fule settlers by their pretend ed claims. We charge further, that this "Colver Ring' fenced in and claimed every available spring and watering place in their vicinity on the west si le of Little Klamath Lake, and thus gained control of thousands more acres ot raage lor taeir own cattle, to the cxclasion of bona fide settlers. We charge further, that when settling up their claims to these hinds, springs and watering places, the "Colver Ring" well knew that they had no legal and valid claim to those lands, and could not have un der the limitation laws of this State, and by their claims they knowingly perpetrated a double swindle on the State first, by defrauding it out of the prices of these lands, which would willingly have been paid by bona fide settlers, and, secondly, by defrauding the State out of the reve nue due from the taxation of these lands. That tbey knowingly perpe trated a fraud on persons desiring to purchase some of these lands by in forming them that they were the owners, and by fencinjr them in a3 ; the Chief Howler of the Squatters Synagogue that Le.jhimself , individ ually, was engaged all laat spring in a frantic search after swamp lands; that he visited Langei Valley and de . sired Mr. Arthur Langei to point out some swamp land for Lira. H wanted 2,000 acres at first, and then begged for 200 aeres; and then only wanted a little hay ranch bike the office seeker that went to (Jen. Jack son for a Cabinet appointment, and, on refusal, begged successively and unsuccessfully for every minor office, finally going off contented with an old pair of boots and a pair of seat less trousers. Sam wanted a little of that swamp land -'chicken pie," too. We charge upon fho "Colver Ring," that they have dene more to retard the settlement of the Klamath Lake country than all other things combin ed, by fencing and claiming the avail able springs and watering places, and thus gaining control of the stock range to the exclusion of honest set tlers who were willing to buy the land and pay for it. Finally, we charge upon the "Colver Ring" that they never opened their pious mugs about the enormities of the Swamp Land Law until Hon. J. N. T. Miller, the Swamp Land Commissioner,'com menced the survey of these lands and discovered the swindle the "Colver Ring" were perpetrating on the State and the people. We affirm that it was only when their little game was discovered that Colver armed himself for his crusade, and now we submit is he not a precious deciple to talk about "rings ?" Is he not a deligtf ul duck to shriek about land swindlers ? Let some person iu his audiences north ask Sam how much land he had control of by his fences on link river to which he never had and could not have any right! The game is not worth the candle, certainly, but we cannot resist the temptation of again paying our respects to this in effable humbug at aa early day. Jacksonville 2'imes. Ox-Tail Socp. Not long since, at a fashionable hotel in this State, a very witty and intelligent lady was at the dining table. The first course, of course, was soup; ox-tail being the principal one. It was observed, how ever, that its flavor did not find favor with the numerous guests, and it was discarded on one pretence or another, until it came to the lady in question. ' She received her share of the fluid, and as the aroma ascended to her nos trils her look was one of extreme doubt. Calling the waiter to her, she asked, "is this ox-tail soup ?" "It is, madam, said the waiter, expecting some compliment in return ; when she replied, "then all I have to say is that it lias been cut off entirely too short, or kept entirely too long.
