Addie Arlingtou looked at herself iu the mirror, and then turned away with a little smile of happy satisfac tion, that rippled over into a joyous laugh aa sho caught her cousin Ellio's eyes. 'You are thinking that I am as vain as a peacock, aren't you, Ellie? Well, I do look well, don't I ? And I'm awful glad of it, because, cousin mine, it will bo all the easier for me to come off victorious in tho cam paign I have laid out for myself during my threo months' visit to you.' She spoke with a charming frank ueBs, that made MissNolliston smile back in tho lovely, girlish face. 'And what may your plans be, Addie? Of course it is n Bettlpd question that you shall take New York by atorm. You know, of course, also, that your pretty face will secure that happiness to you. But further than that, what, little mischief-maker?' She looked fondly, proudly, at Addie, whoso dusky eyes were glowing like stars. 'Oh, only my arrangement for the chief end of woman marriage! I toll you, Ellie, I am going to make my hay whilo the sun shines in other words, while I am in New York, I am going to secure some rich oh, some awfully rich fellow, who can just smother me with dia monds aud dreghes aud give me all the money I want enough to buy everything I cau think of.' Miss Nelliston laughed at the girl's enthusiasm. 'You rapacious little cormorant 1 You certainly have erected a very ambitious standard, but I cannot see who or where the desirable party is. I am quile sure you deserve just what you want, dear; but the ques tion is, can you get it?' Addie shrugged her pretty shoul ders. 'Ellie, I shall get it! I know just my own worth. Now dou't put me down as a vain, silly creature, be cause I frankly admit I regard my self good looking, and quite desira ble for a wife generally. I am fairly good natured am I not, Ellie? and I ought to have a good husband, oughtn't I ?' She leaned her soft, fair cheek caressingly on Miss Nelliston's face. 'Indeed you ought, my darling. And if I could, I would conjure one to order for you, Addie, you are beautiful enough to win the highest and best iu the land.' And she was very beautiful and all tho more so that she was uot in the least vain of her charms. Standing there beside the dressing mirror, in her evening dress of deli cate pink, with her fair, white arms bared Just holow the dimpled elbow, the dainty hands cased in creamy kids, the joyous, happy face, whoso features were so exquisite, whose complexion was so richly warm and satiny in its pale, brunette beauty, whose eyes were so deeply dusk and lustrotiP, and eager Addie Arling ton was certainly sweet enough, and winsome enough to warrant Miss Nelliston's loving assertion. 'If only there was anybody rich enough, iu or about New York, un married, to satisfy you, chlldie?' Addie laughed. 'I'll tell you a secret, Ellio. I'm going to take my fort by storm, and when you see me the betrothed bride of an English milord, Ellie ' Miss Nelliston gave a gasp of pos itive horror at the girl's audacity. 'Addie Arlington, you don't mean yon actually have designs on the illustrious guest that the Van Ren sellaers are expecting the English nobleman all New York is on the qui vive about!' The girl's silvery laugh accompan ied a very defiant positive shake of her silken skirts, as if that graceful little gesture added incontrovertible emphasis. 'Exactly, cousin Ellie. You needn't look so horrified. I'm sure the prospect of having a Lady Grosvenor in the family ought to delight you.' But Miss Nelliston was too taken aback to appreciate the prospective honor. Addie, how wild you talk ! The ideal Why, you never have Been him, you don't know whether he is young or old, a gentleman or a not a gentleman. Suppose he is old, and fat, and ugly, and short breathed like papa's British friend, Sir Wil liam Wiggleton ?' 'The charming estate everybody knows Lord Grosvenor owns, and his rout-roll of a $100,000 a year, and bis wonderful mines in Wales, and his treasures of costly elegance in his own town house in Park Lane, and his country houses in Subbcx and Cornwall, will cure all these defects, Ellie. Come, we'll be late at Jenny Jernyngham's, and you know Jenny always expects me first of any one.' 'And so does Jennie's brother 1 I am ready, Addie.' The music was playing a lovely fantastic, in low, softly-delicious chords, and dozens of couples were promenading the suites of rooms, Addie Arlington and Fred Jernyng ham among them, aud the youug gentlemen evidently not delightfully interested in the teuor of the young lady's animated conversation. 'Why, he's the handsomest man I ever saw in my life I Of course, I'll except you, Fredl' and the pearly teeth twinkled in a smile for a sec ond. 'But I want to hear his name. I want to know all about him. Fred, is he rich?' It is imposible for matter-of-fact young Jernyugham to understand whether or not Addie was in earnest. 'His name is Melton ; and I know nothing whatever about him, except that he is a member of au engineer corps at present iu the city. I don't see what thero is about him so re markably handsome.' lie glared at the unconscious tar get of his and Addio's eyes, with a deep scowl that delighted her. 'You're not to be supposed to see any masculine attraction boyond your own, Freddie. But if he's only an engineer hark ! that's our waltz.' And off they glided, a faint flush on Addie's cheeks, as Mr. Meltoii'a hand, some bluo eyes caught hers and helil her glance a second, des spite herself. This was tho way it began ; and a month later, wheu New York society was stirred to its soul by the defer red advent of Lord Cuthbert Gros venor, Miss Nelliston wondered why it was that Addie's enthusiasm had so completely died out. 'You're a mystery to me, Addio,' she said, as they drove home from the crush at Mrs. Van Kensallaer's, on the occasion of Lord Grosvenor's complimentary receptiou. And for the first time Addie's reply was a little sharp. 'I don't see where the mystery is, I'm sure. Whatever there is about a little, fat, bald-heuded old man to admire, I can't see.' 'But he's a lord, all the same, Addie 'No, it's not all the same at all, Ellie I How insufforably hot the rooms were to-night! I have the most wretched headache.' Tho next afternoon a magnificent coach and pair, with the armorial bearings of the house of Silverlaud Lord Grosvenor's illustrious fami ly with coachman and footman, iu his lordship's livery of silver and maroon, drew up at Miss Nelliston's door, and a fat, pully old gentleman descended, to pay hifl compliments to the prettiest girl of the night before the only girl who had at all interested him Addio Arlington. After that well, Ellie hardly knew Addie, so variable and capri cious she grew; now in the wildest spirits, again dejected and petulant ; until one day there came, by one of the liveried servants, a written pro posal of marriage, on a satiny sheet of paper, bearing a crest aud mono gram in silver and maroon, and signed in a little crabbed, spidery hand 'Grosvenor.' A letter that offered her, in a very gentlemanly unenthusiaslic way, all the grand, good things that it had been her sole aim in life to possess and enjoy. While by mail, not ten minutes later, had come another letter that made the girl's heart thrill, and all her pulses stir, as she read the pas siouate prayer for herself to bo given to the man who loved her Phillip Melton, with his handsome face, aud his salary as an engineer. For soveral hours Ellie wondered what Addie was doing, so long alone in her room ; and then by and by she came softly down stairs, a sweet flush on her face, a tender pride in her eyes, a thrill of perfect content in her voice. 'Eilie, dear, I want to tell you. I have refused Lord Grosvenor's offer of marriage and accepted Phillip.' And without a question, Ellie put her arms about the slight form and kissed her. 'You have done right,' she said, simply, gravely. If you will permit me might I ask why you decline my ofl)r?' Lord Grosvenor said, an hour later, when, her gentle refusal having reached him by mr-Reiigr;r, he posl-hasted to the house. And Addie's lips Irembled with actual happiuess as she answered with a sweetness that was charming : 'Because, air; I I loved Mr. Mel ton best. You wou't be angry ?' 'Mr. Melton 1 A fellow on a sal ary 1' 'Pardon me, my lord a gentleman rich in nobility, iu goodness, and in love for me.' 'Oh, that's it! But about the money 1 Miss Arlingtou, there is uot a wish in the world that shall remain a moment ungratified, that money can procure, if you will honor ine.' I shall want only what Philip can give me, Bin' Ilio kindly eyes twinkled good naturedly. Then, Miss Arlington, am I to consider your auswer absolute? You positively decline to become Lady Grosvonor, to live at Silverlaud Park, to bo a leader of London society ?' She smiled sweetly, prettily. 'I am sure I have decided. I thank you for the great honor you have paid me. I shall be proud of it all my life, but I caunot, because I love Phillip Melton more than all the world aud what is in it.' 'Addie, my true little darling! Addie, little love!' And Phillip Melton stepped out from behind the curtains of tho bay window, aud took her iu his arniri, his haudsomo face all smiling aud proud, aa he turned to Lord Gros venor. 'I told you so, sir! She loves me, aud is true and sweet in her loyalty, to the mau sho loves ! Addie, per haps you will uot mind so very much that, after all, you will be Lady Grosvenor some day? For Lord Grosvenor here is my father, and I am Phillip Melton Silverlaud, next iu succession. Addie, you will not be angry with ua for our little ruso? Wo had heard you were so desper ately determined to marry monoy, and the moment I saw you I knew thero was a heart that would con quer ambition a heart that I wanted to conquer on my own merits.' Addio listened, bewildered, and. Lord Grosvenor laughed. 'Bless your bright eyes, child! You almost tempted me to be treach erous to Silverlaud there. But you'll not refuse me for a father-in-law, I hope?' Aud in her almost royal home, Addie is as happy as the summer days are long ami shining. Nluvry In the Moiifli. It is said that slavery Iuih been abolished ; that tho negroes of the south are on a perfect equality, so far as civil rights are concerned, with tho whites; that the constitu tion with its amendments is held in respect by the people of the south. Calnmr McCuue, editor of the Osce ola Itecord, a gentleman whose ver acity no one will question, has lived in the south within the past two years, and this is what he says : Negroes are .still sold in the south. The difference between the -ales of to-day and those of former days ia that the merchandise has been con victed of Home crime, and has been sentenced to servitude by the courts for a stated period. The method of sale is very similar in fact identical with that of ante helium times. The highest bidder takes the negro aud his ownership of him is just as abso lute for the lime, as it was iu former times for life. If the white owner finds heliHsinadea good investment, or, if he holds a grudge against the poor victim, he can easily trump up charges which will make the servi tude well nigh perpetual. In the average southern court (he testimony of a negro is scarcely regarded and it is looked upon as the bight of presumption for him to testify against a white man. Not only is he deprived of his liberty,but conviction for the slightest offence will, in some states, deprive him of Iiib elective franchise. The writor has seen a number of chain gangs in the south, nut they were composed always of negroes men, women aud children. In no case did he ever see a white man in these chain gangs. In the cities of Georgia especially iu the intorior and on railroads in pro cess of construction, and other pub lic works, these wretched, half clothed and ill kept people may be soen. The whites hold the key to the situation, aud by applying these methods they propose to keep it. letter Yet. On a Canada Southern train the other day a Detroiter bad a seat be hind a couple who got on at a little station near St. Thomas, and he thought he had seen the man's face before. IIo was looking at him sharply aud trying to remember where he had met him, when the man turned and asked : 'Aren't you Thomas , of De troit?' 'Yes; and aren't yon William , of Buffalo?' 'Yes.' 'I thonght eo when you came in. And ain't yon running away with old Judge Blank's daughter, of St. Thomas?' I've got a better thing than that,' whispered William, as he leaned over the seat, 'I'm with his wife.' running away Curran was once pleading, when an ass began to bray, and the Chief Justice interrupted the orator in his address to the jury, saying: 'One at a time, Mr. Curran, if you please.' Curran said nothing iu reply; but when he had finished his speech the Judge began to read hi3 instructions to the jury. Very soon the ass be gan once more to bra', and Curran spoko up: 'Does uot your Lord ship hear a very remarkable echo in the court?'

It is Sweeping the Grain Fields of Illinois. It Manifests a Partiality for Oats DnmciRe Reach. MUHohb. Recent dailies contained this tele gram concerning a now enemy to the farmers that has appeared in the east : "A pest that resembles the army worm, and goes by that name, tho' substantial differences between the two are describablc, has made its appearance iu the oat fierda of Illin ois. Wheat was severely damaged by these worms, and spring wheat wa3 retarded by the lateness of the season. Farmera have had to plow up their wheat fields to a large er tent aud sow them with other crops iu order to get anything from their soil, and now comes the army worm and devours the oats. The worm ia chiefly found in the northern part of the state. The rapidity with which it works is shown in the statement of one correspondent that a field of forty acres of oats was destroyed in forty-oight hours. The worm? ap pear to be governed by considera tions that are unfathomable, for they will completely destroy one field of oats and leave another field, sepa rated only by a rail fence, untouch ed. The fields left untouched are not numerous. In the fields that are ravaged the worms discriminate carefully between tender and succu lent stalks and those that are com paratively old and dry. The latter they avoid. Estimates of the loss cannot be made with auy degree of accuracy, as the wormq are still at work aud nobody knows what they may accomplish before thoy get through. It is impossible to tell exactly how much harm they have done in tho fields that they hare visited, because, as just asserted, they do not destroy every stalk, and not till the fields are harvested will they know how much Is lost. In Will co. Mty it ia believed the loss cannot fall bolow a million bushela, and if the worms move faster than the oats ripen the loss will exceed that. Although oats are the favor ite food, the worms will not go hungry wheu they find none of that grain. In default of oats they at tack young corn stalks." So much are we the slaves of the world that we sometimes hesitate to do au action which is prompted by the heart, fearful that it may bd mistaken by others for folly;
