If Herbert Huntington had no other attractions for tho girls, ho certiiinly had tho attraction of pos sessing a rich est:ito, of entertaining gracefully in his own houso, and of driving in n noticcablo little open carriage -piriled pair of "bays." Hut ho had other charms. His presence wn-t agreeable; his inau nerfi wero grnv, yet docidedly wiu niug. Fastidious, and occasionally sarcastic, ho redeemed these traits from displeasing crt'oct by being at tho same timo intelligent, manly and generous. Henrietta (Joldsby was not insen sible to the compliment paid her, three days after her return to town, by an afternoon call from Mr. Hun tington. She recoived him with a flush of genuine ploasuro, that heightened tho natural brilliancy of her complexion and added an elec trical effect to her unaffected man ners. Even a slight trepidation did not detract from her grace. It gave that tremulous accent of sousitivo uess rarely mot in tho distinctly outlined style of an American girl. 'And you have had a pleasaut sutmnor?' 'O, delightful. I am almost sorry that it is over.' 'Almost ; not quite?' Not quite, because winter Is, after all, my favorito poason. And this winter I am not to bo at school. I shall liavo masters in a few things, hut timo will be partly my own. Wo girls have made all sorts of dolight ful plans.' 'Did you spend your wholo aum morat B ?' Yps, from Juno until Soplember; wo liked it so much. Of course, there aro not quite such swell peoplo there as at N .' 'Swell people?' 'AVolI, not I mean not ' Henrietta stammered, oblivious of the real point of omphasis; and, fearing that sho had disturbed boiiio prejudice of her guest : 'Not oxactly tho same set, you know. Hut really delightful peoplo were there so many of my own age. Mamma says it is tho element of youth that gives tone to IJ . Sho calls it the paradise of school-girls and college-boys. I do not think the older people have as good times. Tho belles of tho summer wore all school-girls. Clara Hastings is only sixteen, and sho was a raving bolle.' Something indefinable a certain vaguo impression of discordance mado Henrietta pause hero. Sho looked with a slight tremor of em barra?Bmont at her visitor. The expression of his faco reassured her. Ho answered her rather flnrrid glance with a quiet gaze, certaiuly kindly and perhaps oven admiringly. 'I had intended to visit B , in August,' ho said ; 'but I found my self by that timo so involved in pos itive engagements at N that I remained there until tho season closed. I heard that you were very gay at B . Is this a reminisconco of your archory club ?' His question referred to a silver quivor, set with golden arrows, an appendage of Henrietta's chatelaine. She unfastened it from tho chain and gave it to him to bo examined. 'It is very pretty,' he said. 'How delicate the workmanship is!' 'Yes. Isn't it nobbyt' returned Henrietta, with one of her sweetest smiles. Presently their conversation set tled upon an approachiug wedding, which they both expected to attend. 'It is rather early in the season for a grand wedding,' said Henrietta. 'And this will be a very grand wed ding, I suppose. I am so glad of that, for mamma has allowed me to bo ono of tho bridesmaids. There are to bo six and a best man. Julia Lenox is my cousin, yon know, and it was a sacred promise that I sho'd bo her bridesmaid or mamma could not have been coaxed. You must look out for me. You will see mo galivanling up tho aisle, directly next tho brido, for wo don't go by ages, but by height ; and Julia, you know, is very tall.' And hereupon Henrietta drew her finely-shaped head a trifle loftier. She had a tall, superb figure, according woll with her nobly-cast features and tho ele ment which Mr. Huntington would havo called tho queenliuesi of her faco. After discussing a while tho dra- tnalijt personae of tho approaching wedding, Mr. Huntington made his adieux, and Henrietta was notsure that ho had been altogether pleased with her. She hoped that sho would leave an agreeable impression, for Hho admired him exceedingly; but shg had some misgivings. These misgivings wero allayed when, a few days after tho wedding, sho received an invitation to take a drive with Mr. Huntington. Mamma could not say 'no,' and ono beautiful October afternoon the pretty open carriage, with it dark bluo livery and spirited bays, and mounted gracefully by Henrietta Goldsby and Mr. Huntington, drove off in fluo stylo; but, to tho young lady's surprise, not in tho direction of tho famous driving park, but across a river-ferry to a nowly opgncd avenuo. Mr. Huntington made this choice without consulting Houriotta, and accepted it silently ; tho nioro roadily becaiiso tho gontleman was many years hor senior, and her admiration for him was of tho doforontial order. Tho day was ono of thoso beauti ful October days when tho atmos phere seems strewn with a fine, impalpable, yot wonderfully trans muting gold. All objects partook of this delicato aerial of gilding tho horizon's clouds, tho distant hills, tho slrotch of open country, far as eyo could reach. 'Even tho common highway woro a glow. Tho waysido mansions, tho gardens thinned from their profuso bloom to tho uncotn pauioned chrysanthemums and sal vias, tho grass-trodden byways, tho duskily-tinted belts of foliago all caught a redaction of brilliancy and refinement. Tho air held not only gold-dust, but olixir. In breathing it, ono bo came oblivious of potty cares, tho teasing voxatious and wearisome monotonies of 4work-a-day world.' It seemed that, whilo ono element of atmosphoro caught tho secret of the philosophers stono, another tho watory element, tho ready hydrogen of tho meted air had been turned into wine by tho quick charm of 'Tho Wine Mouth,' our red October. Tho free expanse of tho new aven uo gave amplo space for display of tho horsos' spcod. The agile beasts flew along as if on wings. Exhileratcd, charmed and happy, tho young pooplo chatted and laugh ed; aud tho miles neither measured the time, nor the timo miles, until simultaneously speed slackened, conversation flagged, tho atmosphere grew dull. Tho tinting of the air was still Octobor yellow ; but it wjis the yellow of sulphur, rather than tho yellow of gold. They wero crossing a bridged marsh and approaching a town. Henrietta said tho placo was quite new to her. Sho was unacquainted with the region. 'This sido tho river' she knew neithor tho geo graphy of, locality, uor tho namo of tho town which thoy approached. 'Ib it poesiblo,' exclaimed Hunt ington, 'that yon havo never heard of Slang City? It has become within the last ton years a populous placo. And here wo are. This is tho grand avenue, Swell Avenue.' Tho avenue, walled with incongruously-colored and irregularly built houses, was broad and throng ed with equipages; but it was badly paved. Horses stumbled, and the driving was without precision and in dangerous collision. At first glanco along this avenue Henrietta said: 'How different theso people aro from our peoplo. Iu tho park I always notico that faces in the carriages wo pass are either decidedly gay or docidedly sad. Here they are cither rollicking like buffbonB, or drawn crookedly, as by pain. Thoy all seem distorted.' 'Distorted, indeed,' sighed Hunt ington. Henrietta became quite silent as thoy proceeded. Close observations shocked her. Every one thoy pass ed on tho avenuo had somo feature so harshly exaggerated that it be came an ugly protuberance. With one it was a swelled nose; with another a swelled cheok. In many faces tho 'bump of causality' on one side of the forehead had become swollen to the size of an egg. The under-lip, in somo cases, was ridic ulously swelled. Many of the backs and the shoulders of both men and women were humped. 'Do you see all this?' at last, in a frightened whisper, Henrietta asked her companion. 'This Is really a dreadful place. Can wo not turn out from tho avenue?' Certainly,' said Mr. Huntington. 'And here is a favorito .turn-out, oponing upon the fashionable prom enade. You must be sure to observe tho people here, for among them are tho belles of Slang City. Thuy are raving belles. I havo a slight ac quaintance with a few of them. Henrietta silently followed the direction of his remarks. 'Hero is Miss Falsetto,' Baid Hunt ington ; 'that tall, thin, highly-paint ed woman, in the custome of striped gauze and fur, carrying a red and yellow parasol. -And them is Mme. Cosmotique and her twin boys, arrayed like zouaves, with tho addi-( tion of thoso bunches of flags flying from their turbans.' 'She looks like an escaped lunatic,' said Henriotta. 'Do you soe, she has rouged her forehead, as well as her checks, and her false hair is of three colors.' 'And I do not know that girl fol lowing Mine. Cosmetique,' said Huntington, with a very earnest tone in his surprised voice.and a riveted gaze upon a young creaturo passing hurriedly by. Sho was a Raving Bell. Her tight thin gown ewathnd her slender figure like a winding-sheet. Her long black hair, escaping from a band of swansdown, set with steel buckles, foil iu tossed tresHos to her knees. Her haurin were clasped, her lips parted as with gasping breath, and her violet eyes were raised im ploringly. A frenzied impression her passing gave of mingled sylph, madonna, giiost and madwoman. Henrietta groaned in flpirit. Hunt ington beard her say presently : 'I never want to seo again a raving bcllo.' 'Nor hear of one,' he added. 'This placo is vory, very oppress ive to mc,' Miss Goldsby exclaimed, desperately. 'It seoins tb mo its atmosphere is lurid, aud perhaps oven deadly with miasma.' "Tis a miasma of tho place.' Hunt ington said, 'that produces the evils wo havo soon. Peoplo become infat uated with tho rank air that is so ofTousivo to us. Its corrupting breath strikes inwardly, vitiates health, and gradually destroys the vital force' 'Let us hasten away,' urged Hou riotta, 'beforo wo becomo infected.' Thoy passed by Galivauting Park, whero every tree was hung with tattered ribbons and foliaged artifi cially with leaves that shook perpet ually on coiled wires ; and, to avoid Swell Avenue, they turned down Nobby Lane. Tho lane was almost as bad as the avenue. Every houso and garden, every fence and lamp-post was knotted and gnarled with unsightly kuobs. Ono would think a plague of knobs had descended like a locust horde and clung devastatingly to tho scene. Tho peoplo who dwelt in this lane, aud who thrust their heads from tho windows or sprang to the doorways to see who passed, were tortured to tigliuess both iu person and costume by gnarled knots. Men woro brass knobs on their wrists and on tho toes of their boots. Women wore knobs iu place of flowers or rosettes of ribbon on their bosoms and upon tho fronts of their bonnets. Henrietta closed her oyes in un feigned disgust. From Nobby Lane a bridge led across tho swamps of Slang Bog, and au ascending road gave departure from Slang City. The young people rodo some dis tance in silence; the horses once moro put to their speed, and gradu ally the way brightened and tho landscape became beautiful. Beyond tho sunny canipagna and shadowy city a silver river, famed for its commerce, strotched smoothly into the broad bay ; tho bay miugled afar with the blue expanse of ocean : tho ocean in one grand horizon-lino, curved with the planet's own 'line of beauty,' melted into the bluo sky. 'I delight in this weather,' said Herbort Huntington. 'It gives the condition of atmosphere most ex pressive, most refined. It is so ripe and mellow, invigorating and pure toned. Do you not think that the world is happier ou a day like this? ft is liko a fine thought finely ex pressed; liko thoso written or spoken passages that we wish to commit to motnory and never to forget I' Henrietta, who had not yet quite recovered from tho depressing effects of Slang City, thought. there was one passage of the day she would like to forgot; but she did not utter her thought. She merely sighed ; and with that sigh melancholy escaped. She became once more bor happy self. As they were crossing the river ferry, Mr. Huntington's mood chang ed from that of mere enjoyment to one moro intense. Henrietta felt that when his eyes sought hens and when the tones of his voice applied themselves to brief answers of her passing questions something beyond ordinary interest, something of sen timent and heart-warmth, mingled with his glance and words. Her young heart was stirred with a timid, confiding, altogether new delight. She began to wish that the boat would move more slowly, that tho river were broader and the city streets longer from the lauding to her home. She began to wish that the journey with Mr. Huntington would not so quickly end. It did not quickly end. Tho ex perience of that day effaced from Miss Goldsby's presence its one marring suspicion that Herbert Huntington disliked her. People are not ready to recognize their own faults; and the idea never occurred to Henrietta that the drive to Slang City had been a planned discipline of charity and correction. But ever afterward certain words were associated with certain moan intrs too accurately and too vividly to be used lightly again. Sho had unconsciously been (aught the morale of 'in word.' Language bo camo to her a moro sacred thing, and sho did not offend again tho dignity of her lover's admiration or mock his sense of harmony by using with her queenly lips tho rank aud muddy language of Slang Bog. Before another October camo Herbert Huntington wa the accept ed lover of Miss Goldsby. They wore married in late autumu. Three seasons havo passed since then, and tho lovingly-wcddrd husband and wife hold a placo iu their native city that commands a wide circle of devoted friends. If under other names than those I havo written you visit them, dear reader, I am sure you will say sim plicity does not lose Kb grace, or wit its point, or fascination its lingering sway, when Henrietta, the lovely mistress of that friendly house, re minds you by the pure quality of her genial talk of tho maid In the fairy tale, whose lips dropped not vlpem and toad., hut rubies, and diamonds, and tari. Edith liiggs, in JV. Y. Independent. 1'li Wild Woman eiMIoataaa. Interesting accounts reach u of tho wild woman upon the Missouri Valley". Dennis Sullivan, who was out with a party berrying last week, camo suddenly upon hor. He was within twenty stops of her and had a good look in her face, which ap peared lean and rather coarso-foa-tured. Sho was dressed in light clothus, and her hair ho describes as being of a brown color and quite long, hanging over her shoulder, reaching below her aid, badly torn Hiin-honuut. When first discovered she was half hid behind a cliff of rock, from which .-dm ushered with hiicIi a dealcuiug scream that Mr. Sullivan's horse becamo so fright eiind as to bo unmanageable for several moments, aftor which he undertook to givo chaao, but tho hoMii refused to go near tho fleeing woman.
