My Sweetheart.
Do you know my sweetheart, sir?
She has fled and gone away ;
r ve lost my love ; pray tell to me
Have you seen her pass to-day?
Dewy bluebells are lier eyes :
Golden corn lier waving hair ;
Her cheeks are of the sweet blush-roses :
Have yon been this maiden fair?
White lilies are her neck, sir ;
And her breath the eglantine;
Her rosy lips I he red carnations ;
Such is she, thu maiden mine.
The light wind Is her laughter :
Ihe murmuring brooks her song ;
Her tears, so full of tender pity.
In the clouds are borne along.
The sunbeams are her smiles ;
The leaves her footsteps light ;
To kts e.ch coy llower Into life
Is my true love's delight.
I will tell ye who she Is,
And how all things become her,
Bend down, that I may whisper,
My sweetheart's name is Summer."
T. P., in Chambers' Journal
MY INHERITANCE.
BT SIDNEY TUORNE.
So Aunt Susan had left me heir of her
little all. I had often been to the small
house in the out-of-the-way country vil
lage, and it must have been that my via
its had pleased lier. At any rate, in the
letter I now held, she wrote :
"My Dear IIehjiekt: I havn'tmueh
to leave, as my annuity dies with inv; but
my house and furuiture, such as it is, I
wish you to have. Of ail my nephews,
you have been the only one who lias
seemed to care for nie. and 1 w ished my
possessions were more valuable for your
sake. You are at liU-ity to sell the house
if you wisli and a!l it contains, excepting
one thin";, and that is the picture of my
giaudiiiotlu-r, which was left me in lier
will. That I have always valued, and I
would like you to value it also, for my
sake."'
This was part of the letter handed to
me by the lawyer, when I came to my
aunts on receiving news of her death.
I had entered into my inheritance, but,
as Aunt Susan had said, there was cer
tainly nothing of muc h value. The house
was old and rickety, and the furniture in
the last stages of wear. Before the pic
ture in the sitting-room I paused. It was,
as I remembered it before, a full-length
portrait of a very handsome woman with
a dark, haughty beauty, dressed in a rich,
old-time costume of velvet and lace, and
with diamonds around her white neck and
wrist.
Leaving things in old Margery's charge
I went back to uiv ollice in the city.
There I found a little note on my desk,
inviting me trie following week to "Cragg
head,"' .Mr. Uoscoc s county seat to attend
a garden party.
i must now describe the girl whom for
a vear I had loved to distraction (though,
as I felt) hopelessly
Adrienne Koseoc wns a true type of an
American girl; tail and slender, her figure
possessed that uignitica grace wnicn uis
tin'uishes our countrywomen, with a face
fair, proud, delical , sweet, intelligent
ll the. adiectives are none too many to do
it iustice. 1 had become acquainted with
her father during one of my business
trirxs. anil had afterwards been favored
TL-ith an introduction to his daughter. Mr
ltosroe was a selt-made man, one to wnom
the "chink, chink, c hink " of gold was
sweeter than any sound beside, as one
could easily see. I had in some way lounu
- r -s i 1
favor in his eyes, and lie uaa ash.eu me
to his house, apparently never fearing in
the slightest that the poor struggling law
yer could dare to look up to his incotn-
- -I'll 1
parable daughter, lnueeu, nc nan uuce
told me iu confidence, "Adrienne is a
beauty, and I intend her to make a nne
match."
I took the day boat and arrived at
"Cragghead' late in the afternoon. Ihe
partv was at its lull neignr, ai:u, auer
making myself presentable, I sauntered
down to find my host and his daughter.
Such a cordial "rasp ot the nanii I naa
seldom seen Mr. lioscoc bestow, and then,
after conversing a few moments, he said,
it seemed to me a very significant tone,
"Have vou seen Adrienne yet J"
Just then the came toward us. 1 naa
never shown by word or look my darling
love; but as she approached in an ethere
al costume (which surely could nave ieen
fashioned by none but fairy fingers) 1
stood rooted" to the spot, every motion
merged into one wild wi.-h to then and
there throw myself at her feet and declare
myiove.
But ot course all 1 did was to take tne
sweet hand so frankly extended, and utter
a few words of greeting. Just then a
group of gay girls flitted towards us call
ing "Adrienne!"' and in their midst she
was wafted away.
My host and I wandered to a grove near
by, and under the shallow of an old elm
we seated ourselve?. Mr. Boscoe had al
ways lcen polite and courteous to me, but
to-day I felt a difference in Ins manner,
and by-and-by something he said sent the
blood bounding at fever heat through my
veins.
Laying his hand (with the large soli
taire on the little finger) confidentially on
my arni, he said :
"Herbert, I think a father s eye cannot
be mistaken. Have I not pcen for a long
time that you have entertained for my
iLiivrliter a feehnrr warmer than mere
o - - 0
friendship?"
In surprise I looked into ins lace, ana
then with a sudden w ild hope at my heart
as I saw the benignant, kindly look with
which he regarded me, I told him all
how passionately I worshipped Adrienne,
and that it was through tear that, because
of my poverlv, I w ould be no fitting mate
for her, I had not ventured to ueciare my
feelings. As I spoke, a rather jecu.iar
smile oassed over his features, but it van
ibhed quickly, and in tne same Kiuuiy
tone lie replied:
"Mr. Lisle, you underrate yourself.
What is monev where the heart is con
cerned?"
So I was free to love, and, if jossibie,
to win the oueen-lady of mv dreams.
Not then, while my pulses throbbed so
w ildly, could I trust myself to express my
sentiments in fitting words. Evening
came. Surely such a fairy scene never
existed on this prosaic globe before. A
flood of golden moonlight paled and put
to shame the myriad ot colored lights,
which made the spacious grounds as light
as day.
The fair and young seemed fairer and
younger in the magical radiance which
en haloed them. A fountain flung its jew
eled spray high into the air; satiny roses
and stately lilies lifted their stately head
and shining with a beauty far above, aU
Hill
CONQUERS."
THURSDAY, JUXE 5,
was the queen of the fete Adrienne.
I was not long net ore my opportunity
came; then, witn iaitering worui, an my
fine rhetorical sentence torgotien, l torn
rulmt T ffdt site knew full
well) thatl loved her, and that with her
' . - - A' 1 .1
father s lull consent l asicea ior ner uear
hand. . .
There were snowy flowers in her liair,
and with the moon's pale beams bathing
in an almost spiritual radience the white
robe which fell softly and clingiugly about j
her, and disclosing the rapt glow in her
sweet, fond eyes, it was no wonder that
she seemed to me not a mortal, but like
unto the angels.
The following day we parted, and Mr.
Roscoe himself drove me down to the sta
tion in his stylish dog-cart, drawn by a
spirited team of bays.
"Truly how different he is," I thought,
"from what I have always judged him to
be"
"Come acrain soon, Herbert," Adrienne
had whispered, as I pressed a kiss upon
her lovely lips.
My ollice seemed meaner ana auuer
than ever before when I entered it, and,
sitting down I tried to realize wnat a
change had come to my future within the
last lew hours. Then I settled down to
business again. No hanger-on upon a rich
father-in-law would I be, and if I meant
to have a home and a wife, I must work.
The davs passed latnnnjily along, until
the time came in which I intended to vis
it "Cragghead" again. But that morning
the postman Bonded me a letter, a large,
cream-tinted, monogrammed enveloiio
with my name Herbert Lisle in a uoia
hand. I opened and read. Then how
long I sat there in the same position i
know not; tut wnen i came uacs. i my
self, and chanced to glance up into the
dingy little glass hanging over my desk,
I vaguely wondered if that pale, drawn
face could be my own.
"I was deceived," the letter ran, "and
mv daughter was too. Ve heard ol an
inheritance left to you by a deceased aunt.
and have only just ascertained its amount.
It is out of the question that Adrienne
should marry a poor man " and so
forth.
"I was deceived, and my daughter was
too." Could it be that Adrienne was mer
cenary? In sudden fury I cast the cruel
letter from me. Then a man's hard, bit
ter tears rose to my eyes, and leaning my
head on mv desk. I fought them back. A
fentle. footfall came un the stairs, through
the narrow hall, and paused at my door.
Some one tapped.
"I am engaged," I cried, in a voice I
tried to render calm; but the door opened,
anil there, enveloped in a dark mantle,
with a veil cociing her face, was a slight
figure.
It was Adrienne! She flung back her
veil and sprang to my side.
'Herbert, my love! I have come to you.
What care I tor riches? Make me your
wife now! for then nothing can part us.
I clasiMHl her convulsively to me; we
kissed each other, and then holding her
awav, I looked into her tearful eyes.
"Adrienne," I said, solemnly, "do you
realize that you will leave a life of luxury
to be a poor man s witef
"I have made up my mind," she an
swered, resolutely. "It is the only thing
I can do. My lather declares that in a
week's time he will expect me to marry
one he had chosen for me belore he form
ed such a mistaken idea of the extent of
vour inheritance."
' We left the dimry little oflice, and in
less than half an hour's time we were man
and wife.
Adrienne wrote to her father, telling
him of what she had done, and pleading
for forgiveness.
The auswer said : "When I can visit
Mrs. Lisle in a home as handsome as the
one Adrienne Roscoe enjoyed, then, and
not till then, will I forgive my uudutiful
daughter."
We were happy, my wife and I, in the
little home which was my inheritance, and
after awhile a visitant strayed from Para
dise to till our hearts with her cluldisli
grace and beauty. The little one used to
sit for hours before the portrait of mv an
cestress. The dark, haughty face seemed
to. fascinate her.
One dav, as I sat quietly with Adrienne
by my side, on the piazza, a sudden crash
brought us both to our feet Then came
a child's cry of distress. We both ran to
the sitting room, whence the sounds had
proceeded. There on the floor lay little
Addic, almost concealed by the great pic
ture, which had tollen lrom its lasten-
ings.
After Addie had been picked up and
consoled, I turned my attention to the
mischief which hod been done. As I
raised the heavy picture, the broken frame
fell apart, and a long, narrow, oblong
uackaire dropped at my feet. Adrienne
stood with wondering eyes, as, after re
moving the wrappings, a leather case was
disclosed.
What a strange hiding-place ! and what
can it be? she cxcloimcd.
It was opened, and there before our
dazzled eves flashed a necklace of dia
monds. Three rows of large brilliants,
each having one magnificent gem for its
central ornament; and a pair of old lash
ioned bracelets, studded with the same
priceless stones. I could not estimate the
value of this discovery, although I knew
it must be immense. In the case was a
paier, and on it was written:
".My wedding jewels.
Jst SAN DlNSCOMB."
And as I read, I remembered hearing of
the creat fear of robbery, amounting at
most to a mama uion tne sunjeci, which

and ot the strange places lrom which tne

So Adrienne and 1 found ourselves rich
neople. The iewels realized lar more than
I imagined they would; and, by buying
more ground, on the spot ot the old house
I bunt sucn a nonie as jarienne was ut
ted to adorn.
Then came a telegram to my wife, tell
ing of a fall her father had received, and
that Ins lite was in clanger. we iounu
him sodlv changed from his former self,
and w hen, in a feeble voice, he called
"Adrienne !" and held out his weak arms
to my wife, all my anger vanished.
We did not tell him of the difference in
our fortunes, but, after he had sufficiently
recovered, we brought him by slow stages
to our home, which Adrienne had named
'Ingleside." . Then he was told the won
derful story of the treasure-trove we hod
found through little Addie's desire and
attempt to kiss "the nitty lady." The old
man held out his hand to me.
"Herbert. I am almost sorry for this. I
had thought to prove my changed feelings
by sharing with you the wealth, which
has only been a burden to me since, in
my pride, I refused to listen to my daugh
ter's request for forgiveness."
'Say no more, sir," I replied. "Let by-

"Nor 'ittlc Addie, papa," cried a sweet,
small voice, whose owner had come un

words.
Looking around mc, I sometimes sigh
as the memory of old Aunt Susan comes
back to me; of how she pinched and
struggled to live within her small means
and keep lier little home, while all the
time the legacy which had been left her
by her grandmother, and which would
have made her beyond want, was, all un
known to her, w ithin her very reach.

Professor Rainey still resides here;
he has established a sort of horse hos
pital ami treats horses, upon a very
safe plan for his patrons, and that is
no cure no pay; by the way I would
advise all who have diseased hogs, to
see Dr. Rainey, for lie treats them up
on the same principles and he certain

which all of mv acquaintances who
have employed him personally are
well satisfied.

in the evenings and trying to sen a
great medical work for the sum of
twenty five cents, and the remedy re
commended in that book for yellow fe
ver and poisonous' bites, sucli as rattle
snake and spicier bites, is fast and ac
tive exercise, but no medicine is given ;
When as-ke l if lie had ever treated th-
yellow fever any, he said no, that he
had never seen a case of it, but that
his remedy was given from some pub
lished statement that he had seen.
His remedy for horses that had colic
was to turn them loose, and lei inem

A fatal accident happened at the re

being scalded to death by a cup of hot

THE VETO.
Received and Bead in the Il0ise
8pcial Telegram to the Inter Ocean.
Washington, May 20. The mes
sage announcing the veto of the legis
lative appropriation bill was received
in the House to-day about 12:30, and
read at once. The reading was listen
ed to with marked attention, as no
part of the message had been made
public. The passage which refers to
the usefulness of the election laws in
lt76 was received with a shout of de
rision oh the Democratic side and ap
plause on the Republican side. Mr,
Cox wanted the paragraph read over
again, but Randall w ould not allow it.
As soon as the reading was finished a
formal vote was taken, and the veto
sustained. The messaage was referred
to the Judiciary Committee.
democratic; plans.
The Democrats will have a general
caucus soon. How soon depends tipor
the tide of sentiment. If the caucus
shou.d be held now there would be
general break-up, so it is postponed to
avoid l oth. There are several plans,
each of which has its advocates, and
so marked is the differencu of opinion
upon the proper course of procedure,
that the Democratic Committee of
Safety dare put none of them to thw
test. The plans are as follows:
The first is to pass the appropriation
bills, pure and simple, issue an address
to the country, which Proetor Knott
had ready, and adjourn.
The second is. to pass a joint reso
lution continuing the appropriations'
on the basis of those last year until
Jan. 1, renew the struggle at the next
session, if the fall elections favor ther
Democrats, and abandon it if the Re
publicans are. successful.
The third plan is to pass the legisla
tive bill, divested of all extraneous le
gislation, except the jurors' test oath,
and let the army bill fail.
The fourth plan is similar to the
foregoing, except that, instead of per
mitting the army bill to fail outright,
it is proposed to impose such condi
tions upon the use of the money ap
propriated as will restrict the trans
portation of troops, and prevent the
President from iuoviug them at pleas
Uie. The fifth proposition emanates from
ti e irreconcilables, and i3 to pass nci-
hrr bill and adjourn.
