was his next rather brusque remark.
"That is your advice, then?"
"No, indeed. Pna not my own
worst enemy. Miss Bodine, cir-
cumlocution is not my forte. I had
not walked a block away from you
the other day, before I charged my-
self with being a fool and a brute.
It took just that long for me to get
it into „my thick head 'what your
manner and words meant, and I've
been in a rage with myself ever
since."
" Welh" she asked, looking de-
murely, "what did they mean ?'!
"They meant you were a brave
girl—that from a chivalric impulse
you had drawn near when even men
stood a little aloof, as if fearing that
if the affair came to -blows, they
might get a chance one themselves.
'Your face had the frank expression
of a child—how often in fancy I've

from your lips almost as a child
would Speak them. Now that I see
you again I know how true my se-
cond thoughts were of you and of
myself. I deserve a whipping in-
stead of youe pardon."
There was a point yet to be clear-
ed up in Ella's mind, and she re-
marked coldly, "1 do not see how
you could have had any other
thoughts than what you teem your
second thoughts."
" Nor do I, now; and I suppose
you can have no mercy on a poor
fellow who is often hasty and wrong-
headed. I will make a clean breast
of it. 1. was charmed with your
expression when first aware of your
presehce, but when you spoke you
touched a sore spot. Miss Bodine,
you would not be ostracised` at the
North. You would be treated with
the courtesy and cordiality to which
every one would see you to' be en-
titled. Practically 7 am ostracised
hero by the class to which you be-
long. When you spoke T stalked
away like a sulky boy, muttering,
Why shouldn't I be a gentleman ?'
Even the girls in this time are
taught to look upon Northerners as
boors. I had only to pick upon an
old woman, and face a bully, when,
as if in utter surprise that one of
my ilk should be so grandly heroic,
I heard the words, 'You are a gen-
tletnan.' You see it was my wretch-
ed egotism that got me into the
scrape. When I thought of, you,
not myself, I saw the truth at once,
and felt like going back to the ex-
pressman, and meekly asking him
to ,give me a drubbing."
All was 'clear to Ella now. In-
deed, there was a frankness and sin-
cerity about Houghton which left
no suspicion of dark corners and
mental reservaticns. As his expla-
nation proceeded she began to laugh.
" Well," she remarked, "1 bad my
first thoughts, too. I said to myself
as I pursued my way homeward,
with burning cheeks, that you or
any one eise might save all the old
women in town, and fight all the
bullies, and that I would pass on
my way without looking to the eight
or loft."
" Pardoli me, Miss Bodine, you
are mistaken. Your generous spirit
would get the better of you again in
two seconde. Heaven grant, how-
ever, that reel time you may have
a gentleman as your ally. For a
few moments I ceased to he one,
andalaecame an egotistical fool."
" You• are hard upon yourself:
Since you interpret me so kindly it
would ill become me to--"
" Ella my dear," said her ebnpe-
rone, " lot nie present to you Mr
Vandeveer."
Houghton gave her a bright,grate-
ful glance, rose instantly, and bowed
himself away.

judices—that's what they are called
--but we must not let them make
us ridiculous. MI s . Willoughby
, says she's emancipated, and that
she'd have whom she pleased in her
;parlors. She has been abroad so
tench, you know. Well, well, well
consider it settled." And so it was.
When Ella was informed of her
cousin's plan on her behalf she was
half wild with delight. "1 may
consider myself a 'debutante,' " she
said. " 0 cousin Sophy ! bow shall
1 behave ?"
" Behave just as a bird flies,"
said the wise old lady. "If you
put on any airs, if you are not your
own natural self, I'll shake you
when you come home."
The captain saw ,his child's plea-
sure, and felt anew the truth of his
cousin's words. Ella should be im-
mured no longer. Mara had been
invited also, but declined, preferring
to spend the evening, with Mrs Bo-
dine.
.Mrs Willotighby'e company was
not large, and had been selected
from various motives. We need
mention but one that had influenced
her. Miss Ainsley had requested
t hat George 1Iough ton should be
invited. Iler father and Mr Hough-
ton had large business interests in
common, AO JO Mr Ainsley's re-
qtrest the young man bad called up-
on his daughter. She was pleased
with him, although she felt immea-
surably older than he. Mrs Wil-
loughby had 'also been favorably
impressed by his fine appearance
and slightly brusque manner:
" Yes," said the astute Miss A ins -
14, as they were talking hitu over
after his departure, " he's a big,
handsome, finely educated boy, who
would walk through your Southern
conventionalities as if they were
Cobwebs, had be a chance."
",Delightful !" cried 'Mrs Wil-
loughby. "If I can keep my draw-
ing -room free from insipidity, I am
content. As to his walking through
our conventionalities, as you term
them'let .him .try it... I f he doesn't,

solid wAlls. I'm mistaken.. You

ton's son ; but then, it is just this
kind of social temerity that enchants
me, and he shall come. I only hope
that some good people won't rise up
and shake off the dust of their feet."
"Don't worry; you're a privileged
character. Mr Clancy has told me
all about it. He admires you -im-
mensely trecause'you are so untrant •
melled."
" He admires you a hundred -fold
more. What are you going to do
with him ?"
"I don't know. I couldn't do
anything with hint yet. .That's his
charm. If I didn't know bettor, I
should say Ito was the coldest—he

clined to think it has been reached
by some one else, and that his re.

ture fore -armed, or else chilled by a
former experience. At any rate,
there is a fire smouldering in his na-
ture, and when it breaks out it
won't be of the smoky, lurid sort
that has so often made me ill. There
,will be light and heat in plenty.
"Well, you're an odd girl, Stella.
You experiment with men's hearts
like an alchemist, who puts all sorts
of substences into his crucible in
the hope of finding something that
will enrich him."
"And probably, like the old al-
chemist, I shall never 6trd anything
except what, to me, is droas."
Under Mrs Ross' wing Ella ap•
reared and met with a kindly recep-
tion. She had not -Miss .Ainsley's
admirable ease, but she possessed
something far better. There was a
sweet girlish bloom in addition to
her innately refined manner and in-
genuous loveliness of face, whieli
made even the experienced belle
eigh that she had passed by that
phase for ever. Yet shrewd Ella's
oyes were as busy as they were in- Mrs Robertson had been on pins
,and needjes over this prelenged eon-
/armee. Thee was something se
resolute about Houghton's manner,
and he had placed his °bah; „ so
adroitly to bats approach to Ella,
that the good lady was in sore
straits. Mrs Willoughby saw her
perplexity, and felt not a little mis-
chievous pleasure over it. She dis-
appeared that she might not be
called upon to interfere. At last in
desperation Mrs Robertson laid hold
on Mr Yandeveer, and ended the
ominous interview.
Ella gave rather lame attention
to her new companion's common-
places ; then others were introduced,
and the evening was drifting away
in the ordinary fashion, She soon
began to talk well in her own

Houghton, meanwhile, had been
doing some thinking himself. The
girl, whose blue eyes had Welted

was taking a stronger hold on his
fancy every moment. The relaxa-
tion of her cold aspect into mirth-
fulness, and an approach to kind-

what ? Ella did not know herself,
but her heart was wonderfully light,
and there was a delicious sense of
exhiliration in all her veins.
As they were driving home, Mrs
Robertson began sententiously—
"Ella, in the Mani -you behaved ad-

young Houghton would be resent,
or I would have told you about him

carrying things too far, even if many
of our people have contemned to
wink at much that we disapprove
of. Houghton represents the most
detested Northern element among
us. Of course you, in your inex-
perience, felt that you must be po-

se that Uncle Sheba bid backslidden
as far as he could slide, remembering
y the limitations of a lifelike his but
circumstances bad recently occuried
which tirolight his chureli relations
0 to a crisis. Tobe was the opposite
t `pole in character to Uncle Sheba.
There was an energy about the old
caterer which defied age and sum-
mer heat. Even his white wool al-
ways seemed bristling aggressively
and controversially. His fiery spirit
influenced his commonest alts.—
When he boiled potatoes his cus.
tomers wore wont to -say "he made
'ern boil like de debil."
• He tarried his energy into his re-
ligion, one of his favorite exhorta-
tions in the prayer•meeting being,
" Ef you sinners wants to 'scape,
you's() got to git up an' git." Due
ing preaching service lie took a high
seat in the synagogue, and if any one
in the range of his vision appeared
drowsy, he would turn around and
glare till the offender roused into
consciousness. The children and
young people stood in awe of him,
and there was a perfect oasis of
good behaviour surrounding his pew.
Once some irreverout young men
thought it would be a joke to pre-
tend to "conviction ob Rini" and to
seek religious coensel of Ole Tobe,
but they came away seared half out
of their wits, one of them declating
that Ito smelt brimstone a week
afterwards. The Rov Mr Birdsall
felt that lie had a strong ally in

old man's want of discretion.
Uncle Sheba was 'robe's " bete

his audience. Ole Tobe had. been
whit ling from one side to the other,
and glaring hither and thither, till
in desperation he got up and began
to nudge and pinch the delinquents.
Erma one of the back pews, how-
ever, there soon arose a sound which
so increased as to drown even Mr
Birdsall's stentorian voice. Tobe
tiptoed to the spot, and, in wrath
that he deemed righteous, blended
with not a little exultation, looked
upon Uncle Sheba. His head had
fallen on his bosom, and from his
nose were proceeding sounds that
would put to shame a high-pressure
engine. Aun' Sheba was shaking
him on one side and Kern Watson
on the other. Audible snickering
was general, but this soon gave way
to alarm as Aun' Sheba exclaimed
aloud, "He's done gwine an' got de

After the severest teat at the late
fair in Clinton, it was universally ad-
mitted that FOR PERFECT AND EASY
ACTION, BEAUTY OP FINISH, AND SWEET-
erEss or TONE, the EXCELSIOR was
away ahead of all others, and destined
to be the popultsr instrument of the
day. This, along with the tact that a
special prize was.awarded it, certainly
speaks volumes for the instruments,
and parties, purchasing should see the
EXCELSIOR before buying elsewhere.
