THURSDAY.. .JULY 81, 1870. A Brave Girl. "What a beautiful fnce !" I spoke involuntarily, and a lovely old lady sitting near me on the broad piazza of the Clarendon, kitting some white wool, smiled as if well pleased at niy outspoken admiration. Khe is indeed beautiful, and as true asle is lovely." Then we silently watched the pair on horseback until they disappeared ; but the pure, pale, high-bred face, with the dark eyes filled with love-light as they gazed upon the proud, manly figure of her escort, remaiued fixed in my mem ory. I instinctively felt that I had seen a woman who would do and dare, and I looged to know more of that life which I was sure had been no common one. "Do you know the young lady?" I asked of the tiny, silver-haired lady by uiy side. I had arrived in Saratoga but the night before, ami had risen early this lovely Jane morning, and had been re warded by the sight of that perfect faoe. "Very well. Her mother was my dearest friend." Ami while the pair of whom T have spoken pursued their way to the lake, I SMt aud listened to as sweet ami tender a little love-story as it has ever been my lot to hear. "Yen, Klaine Is very beautiful ; very like her mother when she married law yer Foster. He was a stern husband, ami mourned little when his wife died, leaving the little Elaine to his care. I do not think be ever loved the child, but he was proud of her beauty. Three mouths of every year he allowed her to Hpeud with me, in accordance with her dying mother's wish. "In my large, breezy house in the country the little girl spent the Summer months in a perfect abandonment of de light at her escape from the somber re straints of her father's house in the city. Having no children of our own, my husband aud I loved her as if she had been our very own. "Three years ago, shortly after Elaine rame to u, I was seized with a low, nervous fever. My darling hung over in) ied with all the loving anxiety of a (Slighter. Dr. Ray, a young physician no had been settled in our village for a) (t't two years, came every day to see Bit I might have known that there in I be but one result to unrestrained uaiiy intercourse between two young people so niieu to eacu other in all re spects save that of wealth : but my ill ness, I suppose, made me careless of anything except my own suffering. "One evening, in the latter part of August, wneu i was sumcientiy recov ered to sit In ray easy chair, I had been watching the sunset, and must have fallen into a little doze, when I heard my darling come quickly Into the room, felt her throw her arms about my waist a tin urop ner tieau in my lap, murmur- log. " 'So happy ! so happy!' "'What is it, dear heart r I said, smoothing her golden hair. " Then the answer came, which T, In my illness ami blindness, nail never suspected : " 'Auntie, Philip loves me, and I am me nappies gin in the world !' " I sat a moment, unable to speak. Then at last I faltered : " 'O Elaine ! Your father !' "The girl shrank back, frightened for the moment from her happy dreaming. Tli en the divine hopefulness of youth aud love asserted Itself, and she replied : ' 'Dr. Ray will go to New York aud speak to father shortly after I go back ; aud when he sees Philip aud knows how we love eaoh other, he cannot refuse to make us happy.' " The following week my little girl went back (she never called it going home,' 'twas simply 'going back ;' she eame 'home' in June, she used to say) and a few days after Dr. Hay also left for New York. " Then came a heart-broken letter ffim my darling. Her father had laughed at Philip's love for Iter ; ridi culed his poverty, and told him to make a fortune before lie aspired to Elaine's hud. At the close of the Interview the JuiIl'p had said : " 'Young man, don't let me hear from you again ou this subject for two ic ir, and see that you hold no cotn-iiiunir-alion with Elaine during that ti'iie. Then, if you two still think you love each other, aud you have made enough to support a wife respectably, I will bear what you have to say.' "With this they were obliged to be Content. "Tnen Philip Ray came to me. His eve- glistened and his hand was fever ieh. He was altogether unlike his old self. He was going away. He couldn't in take money fast enough there, and mouey he must have, or he could never s -e his darliug again, lie would go West. "The nest two Summers werelonelv ones to me. Judge Foster would uot let my little girl come home. Me said 1 Iih'I deceived him. Perhaps I had, but I did not mean to do so. Elaine wrote often. Sometimes the letters were hope ful ; more often they were sad with the weariness of hope deferred. Occasional meution was made of a certain Dilkes Ramsay, a gentleman whom her father had taken into partnership. Air. Kim sav. she wrote, was very polite to her. but site did not fancy him. She didn't want to drive with him; she didn't care to see his beautiful home; but her father seemed to wish her to accept these attentions, and then it would not lust so long, for the two years were nearly over. "September eame, and with it a wild, piteous letter from my darling. She had beard nothing from Philip; perhaps lie was dead; certainly he loved her no longer, or he would comeand claim her. Her father had waited until the two years were up, then told her It wa9 his will that she should marry one who loved her, and not waste her life sighing over tlie unfaithfulness of one who cared nothing for her. She told me she had written Mr. Ramsay a note begging him to eease persecuting her with his attentions, but that he came uext day as smiling and determined as ever. "Then she wrote again. She had eeased to rebel against fate. The mar riage had been arranged for the third week in DeeemUr. All she had stipu lated was that I should oom in i,.,. spend the last week before the weddine In her father's house. "I went. Though mv Door plri f. lighted up with joy at seeing me, -he auuu ion iuw a lioness, uesponuent Way, annuel w ow kuuu uuy tears or re proaches. Once I mentioued Philip's name, cue started, as tuough she had been stung. "'Do not speak of him,' she sold, wildly; 'lie does not love me no one does!' Then, more calmly, 'Forgive me, auntie dear; I am not strong, I think,' and she subsided Into her usual downcast state. "The evening before the day set for the wedding, a servant entered the room where we weresittlng.and handed F.laine a casket. As she slowly opened it. even I cave a crv of surprise at the sicht of the rare iewels it was Dilkes Itamsay's wish his brldu should be adorned with; She pushed then! Wear ily aside. " 'Strange that any one should marry for such things,' was all she said. "The next moraine as. with mv old eyes blinded with tears, I had Qui shed lastening the white vail over the still whiter brow, I attempted to clasp the necklace of brilliants about her neck. Sbo pushed them aside with a Hash of her old spirit, and said, bitterly: "Don't, auntie! For auother half hour at least I am my own property.' "I said no more, and wo descended to the parlors. "As Judge Foster's eyes fell on his daughter, he said sternly, " 'Where are the groom's jewels?1 "Ordering them brought, he clasped them himself about bis daughter's neck and arms. She submitted listlessly. "We bad entered the church. We had taken our places before the altar. The last strains of the wedding march had died upon our ears. The brilliant assembly was hushed as the minister began to speak. "Dilkes llamsay's answer, ! will,' sounded clear and firm. I raised my eyes; who was it that I saw leanlug against a pillar, his somber eyes filled with a contemptuous scorn of the wom an who was selliug her soul before his very eyes? rJalue raised her eyes to my agitated face. Her glauce followed mine.. Then she did what I think no woman but a brave as well as a loving one could do. The congregation was still waiting for her answer. As she caught Philip Ray's glance, a burning Hush sullused her face, then died, and left her cheek as pale as marble. Her eyes lighted with a sudden resolution Turning from the altar, she passed the wondering group or bridesmaids, aud, In the face of that gay crowd, went aud stood before Philip Ray. 'rnuip,' she said, in a low, sup pressed tone, 'why did you not come lor me?' "Disregarding the strangeness of the proceedings in the wtld hope that had sprung up within him, he answered, hurriedly: " "1 did go to you ; 1 wrote to you ; I went to your house every day for a week, but was refused admittance. This Is what you sent me.' "As he spoke he took from his breaU pocket a note worn with many read ings. "There, in the presence of that won dering crowd, Elaine read the note. It ran thus : " 'If you have aar pity for me. cease to an noy me with your presence. Do you not see ibat I can never tore you that my heart I anoiuers t alauii rxwTKK.' " There is some mistake,' she fal tered; 'I did not know you came. I sent this note to Dilkes Ramsay.' "A light Hashed over his face. His eyes shone with love and triumph. " 'Come,' he said, tenderly; 'you are or age; let us uot risk another separa tloti. "He took her hand In his, and to gether they stopped before the aston ished minister. Kaising her band with a swift gesture, the diamonds fell to the lloor. There was nothing theatrical In this ; sue bad been, to outside appear ances, singularly calm through the en tire scene. " 'I felt as though they were choking me, she said to me afterward. "I looked about for Judge Foster. He had left the church. "Ere I could recover from the fright into which this offense against all the conventionalities o( lire had thrown me. Philip Ray aud Elaine Foster were man and wire. "Just as the minister was closing his benediction. In rushed, white and breathless, a servant from Judge Fos ters. we roiiowed the man quickly. Even Dilkes Ramsay recovered enough from his chagrin to aocomiany us. As we entered the door we beheld, lying on the floor dead, Elaiue's father. He had fallen dead with heart disease, as he reached his own door. "Elaine and Philip never speak of his treachery ; he was her father, and he Is dead. "Of all that remained, Elaine re ceived nothing. Dr. Ray had wedded a portionless bride; but I do not think either of them has ever realised it, or, Indeed, given n thought to the matter. House, furniture, horses, plate, every thing, was mortgaged to Dilkes Ram say. "Philip and his bride eame to live with us, and Dr. Ray Is still our village doctor. They came with me here for a few days because a poor, foolish old woman cannot bear them out of her sight for many hours at a time. "Wheuever 1 tlilnk or that eventlul day, and see again my darliug in her trailing white roues, with those hund reds of curious eyes bent upon her, I am tempted to exclaim: " 'Dear heart, how could you faee those eop!e?' " Say rather, auntie, how could I hesitate with two lives at slake,' her answer is. " 'But, dear,' I urge, "suppose Philip had ceased to love you ?' " Then,' she answers. 'I should have been free from that odious marriage, for Mr. itamsay would never have married me after that. But I did not run so great a risk, after all ; the moment his eyes met miue, my heart told me that he still loved me.' " A contemporary has been asked, "Can a man belong to a brass band and be a Christian ?" We see no Impediment In the way. But If a man is a member. and given to practicing on a cornet or trombone, it is an impossibility for the man living next uoor to be a Christian, Ex. A young lady sent twenty-five cents aud a postage-fctamp in reply to an nil vertisement of "How to make an Im press! n," and received, for an answer.
