CHAPTER ~.
That Herbert had more than satisfied Mr..
Carroll was very evident, from the earnest
manner in which the latter congratulated his
daughter upon the subiect-and when Hor-
ace returned from his journey, the wedding
took place quietly, without any of the taste
full parade usual on such occasions.
Grace was very happy. She had but one
trouble-the image of the handsome stran-
ger would every now and then force itself.
upon her mind. II was very wrong, very
improper, she said to herself, TO bestow a
thought Of the kind upon any one but her
noble and devoted husband but how was
she 10 help it, poor child when that hus-
band himself, by something indefnable either
in manner or expression hourly recalled the
image1 And she found herself involunta-
rily constantly comparing the two :-"Hor-

band-I shall not be happy till l do, and

person y and so one morning, about six
weeks after the wedding, poor Grace con
fessed to Herbert that she did not love him
as she ought. lie did not look quite as mis-
cradle as she had imagined he would at this
terrible announcement; but merely saying
"then it is high time should bid you good
morning." walked quietly out of the room.
In the evening, Mr.. and Mrs. Carroll,
Mrs. Harvey, Madaline, and a few other in
| tim afa crionHS cau,a in TToraco had mt
returned, and Grace was restless and dis
turbed. All at once, as she was adjusting
a braid at the mirror, she saw-could 1t be
yes! in the very centre Of the room, con-
versing with her father, and apparently per-
fectly at ease, the very person whose appear
ance had so strangely infatuated her fancy
As she turned from the glass he approached
her and raised her hands 10 his lips, ere she
was aware of his purpose. Grace was quite
COMPOUNDED, indignant.
"Sirl" SAID she with dignity, "your I'M
asked intrusion here and this un~warrantable
insolence must be explained to my husband"
MIR. Carroll laughed, and the rest Of the
company opened their eyes.
"Madam," said the new guest, with a
saucy smile, and the voice was strangely ia
miliar, "you are tired Of your husbands red
hair. Does mine suit you ?"
More and more amazed, Mrs. Herbert
turned impatiently TO her father. He was
laughing heartily-Grace echoed the laugh
for as she turned she faced the glass again
and saw the stranger hastily adjusting oyel
his dark and curling locks, the stiff red wig
and whiskers of Horace Herbert himself
The amazed company joined in the merri
ment occasioned by the sudden me,amor
phosis, and Grace, snatching the false hail
playfully from him, threw it into the corner
of the room.

The richest gifts that be.

And struggle for n conqueror 8 swaye
Upon the field of mine.
And tho no provide one throng thy gate,

Our hero, only a short time previous to
the scene related in the last chapter, had
suddenly appeared in the fashionable circle
Of B, introduced by some one it was
believed but by whom or how, or whence
he came, the gossips of the clique declared
they could not imagine. Every body was
interested with him how could they help
it? He was so peculiar, such a bundle of
contradictions Giving evidence at times
in his writings and conversation of a lofty
and brilliant genius, he was generally re-
served, silent, Taught, 'incomeatable,' if l
may borrow a word from a light friend of
mine. Shabby in apparel and lame, there
was nevertheless, a certain nobleness, digni-
ty and grace in his mien and address, which
SOM few in the circle could discern and
appreciate.
His hair and whiskers Of a fiery red, con-
trasted strangely with his superb eyes, in
%tensely beautiful in depth and hue, and full
of eloquence in expression. His face was
one of those which lit up in emotions of Joy,
anger, or love, all the more gloriously from
being usually cold, still and dark. 1t was
generally supposed that he was of low, or at
least obscure birth-but however that might
be, his sentiments, department and language,
were always elevated and refined. At any
rate, in spite of his red hair, eccentricity,
his poverty, his defect of hearing, his limp
and his reserve, Horace Herbert was a very
fascinating person to those he chose to fas-
climate.
The CAROLS happened to be boarding
that winter at the same hotel with him, and
they had thus become intimate.
One rainy morning, just after breakfast
when the ladies' ~drawing-room was more
than usually crowded, Herbert had seated
himself on a sofa near Grace-who was net.
ting, rather apart from the rest of the com.
pany, and taken up a newspaper. Encour
aged by her kindness, and the subdued soft
ness Of her manner toward himself, to hope
for a least indulgence, if not a return tC
his love, he had been wishing for severa
days to converse with her in private blu
she was generally so surrounded by friend
that it was impossible, and even now i
would not do to whisper, for that would at
tract attention and subject her to remark.
f won't you reed me the news, Mr.. Her

he might hear-"there is no one nea
enough to be disturbed by it," This wa
just what he wanted, and he gravely began

GoVERNOR's ELECTIoN.

Most of the following table is taken
from the OHIO Statesman. The counties
from whichIhe Statesman had no reports,
we have filed out from other papers =
For some counties the full vote is given,
and for othsrs the mSjOrities only. II is
said that the votes Of tie State amounts
to about 3I0,0e0. There is dsmscrau
ic gain of over TWENTY TWO THOU
SAND, aud an increased democratic
vote Of near THIRTY THOUSAND
since 1910. The large whig majority Of
%, ,375 of lS40, is now reduced 10 nearly
nothing.
From all we can hear. we think that
Barlley's majority is somewhere between
800 and 1900. Some think this may be
changed, as :he true returns come in, 10
majority the other way but from the
reports before Us, we conclude that Bart.
ley is elected by bare plurality Of vol es,
and very small majority over Col. Tod.

Friends and FellO,O Citizens:

Friends and FeLLOtD Citizens:
A glorious work lies before yOu! The
result of last Tuesdays contest invites
yoI 10 renewed exertion in behalf of that
good old cause which, beth by the hiss
tory Of times past and the lessons of
the present day, we know 10 be identified
withlhe prosperity and the glory of the
Republic.
In ls40 we we're overwhslmsd in
Ohio by popular majority Of more than
twenty three thousand, out of two hum
drsd and seventy two thousand votes.
Before the election, our opponents
vauntingly assured their COntederates,
throughout the URiOn, that they would
have from fifteen to twenty thousand
majority. Il is in vain that they now

ment vt the result, or to deny their fears
of the future. However loudly they may
boast OF their victory, they know full we'll
that it has left them upon the very brink
of defeat.
in the strife for BallIsy, and for a
Wing Legislature IN this SIalo, they
wsrO struggling for the State spoils, and
for the plumber which they hope to de-
rive from State Legislation.
Not by their own strength, but by the
unwise divisions among our friends, they
have won tiicss spoils, and they will con.
troll that Lsgisislion. However much
we may deprscale those divisions; orig
inaling merely in local difficulties, which
have given TO tho Wings tho ascendency
in our State councils, still we do mol
complain; and We are prepared TO wall
with patient confidence the hour in which
their accustomed abuse Of power shall
brig upon them the just rebuks of a free
people.
In the battle which occurs on the let
Of November, we meet our opponents up
on National issues alone, and have 10
decide whether James K. Polk or Henry
Clay shall receive OhiO's vote for The
Presidency.
The yeomanry of Ohio have no inter,

and oppressive taxation:-lhOy have no
