The Cliok of a Pistol an Important Factor in Love -Making. ARRIE CORNELL was a very pretty girl and considered the belle of the circle in whioh she moved. She was also a kind, good girl, but had unhappily one fault, which not seldom threw all her good qualities into the shade. She was too easily misled 'by appearances, and would fancy almost in- credible stories at the slightest suggesVon. Her imagination seemed like that of a good novelist, ' always ready to grasp a chance word and turn it into a story. Any- thing out of the common line of events was to her most delightful. But her worst mis- take was that ehe called her life dull and uninteresting became it flowed camly and peacefully. Having never yet shed tears of bitter die - appointment and sorrow, he did not know how they blind the eye, how they wring the heart; she thought only how interesting a sad, pale melancholy countenartce was, and would often look with real disgust at her own round, dimpled, rosy cheek. One of her best friends—what young girl hes not at least a dozen best friends ?—was Winnie Bliss, a silly, good-natured damsel, 'who never took the troubleof having an opinion of her own, but always adopted those of others. This Winnie Bliss was a great comfort to Carrie, as she was at any time ready to grieve with her because nothing occurred to change the monotony of her existence. It was really as if fate had determined not to throw a pebble in Carrie's path, and that "the course of true love seldom runs =tooth " could not even be applied to her c ' ase as the course of hers did flow as calmly as the waters of a lake in a summer day. Engaged to a young man who had known her when she was a child, and to whom her brother was happy to entrust his sister— }ler parents were long since dead—she had not even the aatisfaction of braving any reproach or danger to become his, or to do or suffer anything unendurable for his sake. All was extremely unromantic, and like every -day life—nothing desperate, nothing Bonnstirring, heart -breaking in it. If he, at least, would lose in some affair an arm or leg, or if she was in danger—but only in danger—of losing her money, that one or the other could show some more than human attachment, it would all have been very web, but to love and marry without any trouble whatever was almost too much for any real life and would never have made success in a book. The last summer Carrie was to spend as Miss Cornell had passed, and she had just returned from the seaside, where she had been with her brother, when she met Win- nie Bliss in the street. "Oh, Carrie, I am so glad to see you ! When did you return ?" said Winnie stop- ping her friend, who seemed in great haste, and had not perceived her. " We came home a few days ago. I thought of going to see you to -day," re- plied Carrie. "You say that you have been already several days here and have not been, to see me yet I cannot say that I feel par- ticularly flattered at this, when we were always just like sisters,' said Winnie, feeling really bnrt. "1 would have gone sooner, but every step I take is watched, and I am afraid to leave the house when Brother James is there." "But why ? What has happened ?" "If there ever was an une.ppy girl, Winnie, I am the one; and if you will walk to the postothce and home again, I will tell you all about it. I must have one heart to which I can confide my troubles." "Then you are really unhappy ? " asked Winnim but in such a tone as one would use to ordinary mortals when they were asked if they had received an unexpected fortune. "Unhappy t That is not the word to express it. 11 wonder if there is a woman whose fate is more tragical than mine,' mid Carrie, a bright tear awimming in her eyes, yet with unmistakable satisfaction in the tone. "'You know," continued she, when having posteina letter, the two girls were cosily stales in Carrie's sitting -room, "that we went to Bournemouth inatead of going to Bath, as we at first intended to do, because there Mr. Newbold her intended) could go to see us every Saturday andretum on Monday to the city. "We found no acquaintances when we first arrived, and I felt during a few days rather lonely, until a party of ladies and gentlemen came, some of whom my brother had met the year before. I became quickly acquainted with them and had a gay, delightful time. My cavalier on all excur- sions was a Mr. Algernon , Devereux, from Bristol, one of the most fascinating young men you ever saw. He is nob as handsome as Mr. Newbold, but oh ? so interesting - looking, and can talk like a book. He has not at all the common, healthy, contented appearance of Thomas no indeed. He looks pale as death, and just as if noth- ing on earth could please him any moro— ns if he had said farewell to all earthly halm/nem "'Not many daya had pained before he paid me the most marked attention, and to -make a long story short, told me that he loved me—worshipped me—and that he could not live without me. Just fancy, my situation. I on the eve of being bound to another'such to listen to a declaration ; and, worst of all, to feel that Thomas din not fill my. heart. "Knowing, however, how much Mr. 'Newbold: loved and trusted me, I would perhaps have tore myself away from the fascinations of Algernoe Davoreux and left Bournemouth hentediately had not my brother, who of tonne saw his devotion to me, begniato permute him. 4° Whenever he paw usi together he would click a pistol, and hewho watt formerly too opposed to carrying weapons was anddenly never seen without one. "1, of course, became more and more interesta in Algernon Devereux—don't erolvthink the, name lovely te—whete''I BO.Wr bim in uch censtant danger on my account. "1 really have no idea what I am going to do, as my brother has told me that as soon as I break with Thomas he is going to ahoot Mr. Devereux. " I ask myself over and over egain, how will it all end? But I cannot answer the question. How my brother alwans finds out when and where Algernon and 1 meet I do not know, but one thing is certain, he is always there clicking his pistol. "1 had resolved the other day to toll Algernon that be mutt abandon every thought of me, but when I met him and my brother stood but a few feet from us, click- ing his pistol, how could I, knowing Mr. Devereux in such danger, tell him what I knew would break his heart ?" Winnie sympathized fully with her friend, and thought just as she did, that the whole Minn* was more dreadful and rnore romantio than anything she had ever read, which was surely Raying much. She wondered not at all that Carrie had the click of the pistol constantly ringing in her ears. When the young ladies had entered Carrie's Bitting -room theyhad not observed i that her brother was n the adjoining parlor, and consequently heard every word they spoke. "1 received a valuable lesson from you, sister, dear," he mid to himself when Car- rie took Winnie into her room upstairs to show her Algernon Devereux's picture. The click of my pistol shall no longer drive you to admire the one whose life the pistol endangers. I understand you now, my little woman. I made the man of too much consequence' that was the trouble. Just wait, we shallchange tactics and shall soon know which of the two your foolishlit- tle heart cherishes." " Carrie," said James the following day, "1 met some of our Bournemouth friends and invited them to tea to -mor- row." "1 am glad you did," returned Carrie. "Who is coming ?" "Mr. and Mrs. Murray, Miss Robins, her couains and Mr. Devereux." " Who was it you named last?" asked Carrie thinking she had not heard rightly. "Mr. Algernon Devereux," replied her brother, blandly; "1 think I did very wrong in disliking him because he made love to you. Nobody is responsible for his feelings, and I would have, perhaps, to kill scores of girls if I watched Thomas as I fooliahly watched you. Who could blame him if, constantly thrown together with a fascinating woman, he became inter- ested in her? Because, you know, he might love you still and have only a silicon romantic attachment for her." "Did you hear that Thomas pays par- ticular attention to some one ?' asked Carrie, firing up at the bare idea of such a possibility. " No, I did not ; at Ieast, not that I rec- ollect. Have a nice tea to -morrow, I shall try to make up with Mr. Devereux. I really believe him to be a nice young man, and, by George ! we eannot all have the face, figure and mind of Thomas Newbold —some must be inferior animals." " There is something concealed in Brother James' words," said Carrie, when she was alone. "He who clicked his pistol every time he saw Mr. Devereux and me to- gether would not invite him to spend the evening with us were it not for some pur- pose. He 'surely heard something about Thomas as his remarks about his failing in love with another girl were otherwise en- tirely uncalled for. Let me see. Do I know anyone to whom Thomas was un- usually devoted at Bournemouth? Yes, yes," continued she, after a short musing, "this very Miss Robins whom Jamie in- vited, he found such a nice, clever girl, and I recollect well that one Saturday, when, not expecting him so early, I returned from a walk witeAlgernon, I found him talking to her in the garden. I shall watch them closely to -morrow." That day and the following one Carrie's thoughts were coupled only with Themes. The click of her brother's pistol was, of course, a satisfactory excuse to herself for listening to Mn Devereux's declaration of undying love and devotion, but what excuse had Thomas for making love to another girl? None. It was nothing but wretched faithlesauess with him and Carrie could trust no num any more. Shepitied all women whose happiness depended on them. The next afternoon came and Carrie received her guests with a fluttering heart. Her color came and wont when Thomaa, not having met Miss Robies since she had returned from Bournemouth, warmly shook hands with her and expressed his pleasure on seeing her looking so well. In vain Devereux tried to eatch Carrie's eyea. It seemed as if for her he did not exist the ffint part of the evening ; and when ahe epoke to him anterwarda she found that he was uninteresting, just a common mortal—surely because no pistol clicked in her ears. Feeling very wretched and very unhappy —not romantically, but really so—she stole out of the room after supper to com- pose herself somewhat in the cool October air. She was, however, not alone when she returned to the parlor. Thomas was with her; and when they passed James he whispered to him that Carrie had con- sented, to be his wife next month on her birthday. Jamea gives to all brothers who have to guard a pretty sister the advice not to click a pistol in her hearing when she lends too hospitable an ear to the blandishments of an undesirable young man.—M. Southgate, in Drake's Magazine. At a convention of the Conservatives of South Huron, held at Henn% Mr. D.

She rushes downstairs and pre- pares a stiff mustard plaster to put on him, and runs up with it again. Inherexcite- ment, however, she charges into the wrong room, and, rolling down the bed -clothes, presses it lovingly upon the wrong man. I have heard that story so often that I am quite nervous about going to bed in a hotel now.

Stanton, a compan- ion about the same age, at the former's home on Washington street, Providence, R. I., on Saturday night. Stanton was playing with two revolvers, one loaded with blank and the other with ball cartridges, and, !minting both at Bicknell, began firing the blank cartridges in rapid succession. In the excitement he forgot the deadly charge of the other weapon, and pressed its trigger. Bicknell, with his head pene- trated with a bullet, died shortly after- ward. Stanton was arrested pending an investigation. In the churchyard at Disney Dale stands what is supposed to be the oldest yew tree in the world.
