they have been intercepted and lynched

Charlotte Liston;
Or
THE PRICE OF A HEART.
BY HENRY F. nARRINGrox.

Mrs. Liston descended to the parlor
and resumed her work. Every few
moments she drew her watch from her
belt, anxiously noting the departure of
the time. She listened, ever and anon,
to hear if she could distinguish any
sound in Charlottes chamber above. All
seemed in perfect silence there. She
questioned every servant that entered
the parlor, if Miss Charlotte had left
her room. None had seen her; and,
finally, when the dinner hour had near
ly arrived, and Mr.. Liston was every
moment to be expected home, shc went
again upstairs. There sat Charlotte
by the table, her arms extended across
it, her face downward upon it, and her
whole frame convulsed with agony.
Somewhat alarmed, Mrs. Liston raised
herself upright in her seat; and, by
the action, the note was revealed, not a
word upon it, but wet with tears. This
disappointment checked the little of
motherly tenderness which had gushed
up within her, for she felt that her
whole plan might be frustrated, should
Mr. Liston arrive before the acceptance
had actually been despatched to Cords.
Her vexation found vent.
I'm very much surprised, Charlotte
Not word written yet You think
little Of my wishes. | say | am exceed
ingly surprised
Her tone aroused Charlotte, who had
wcpt herself almost into inscnsibility.
Her look of utter misery and the mourn
full accents of her imploring tones, would
have melted any heart save that of
managing mother.
Mother, dear, dear mother how
can ! marry him"
"Well, well dismiss the subject, now
There, your father is coming in. Dry
your eyes, and don't for the world let
him see that you have been so agitated
His business has troubled him great
deal Of late, and any more anxiety Of
mind might throw him into illness
Arrange your dress and come down as
soon as possible You mustn't lisp
word of these letters mind, dear"
Mrs. Liston knew that Cbarlotte's
love for her father was so intense, that
she would sooner have, herself, ten
thousand Affections, than to pain him
with a single one The falsehood re-
spectug his business she considered an
admirable r,sse de guerre to prevent any
explanation.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1876-12-01

Before Mrs Liston opened tho parlor
door, she had provided another string to
her bow, still more effcctually to avoid
an advertisement.
"Ah, wife," and the warm hearted
Mr.. Liston came forward and shook her
by the hand, as was ever his custom on
meeting her. "But where's Lofty p
be continued She's generally here to
give me kiss when come home !"
"She's above stairs, and will be down
soon. The fact is" Mrs Listens voice
dropped to a wbisper-''she has just
heard the news of the death of very
dear schoolmate, which has really
troubled her very much. Pray don't,
now, Mr.. Liston, say word to her
about it, for she said to me only a
moment ago, i hope father won't see
that I've been 50 silly as to cry so
bitterly"
"Sillyl If it's silly to have feelings,
I'm COMPOUNDED if | should know what
to call wise. That doesn't sound like
Lofty However, if it's so, III say
nOtning.
All seemed perfectly secure. Charlotte
appeared after few moments, having
vainly endeavorcd to destroy the traces
of her suffering and tears. Her father
kissed her very afectionatcly, without
making any particular remarks and
dinner being announced, the family de-
scended to the dining room.
Charlotte could not cat Her usual
cheerfulness was all gone; her fathers
sallies could not elicit one lone ray Of a
smile, and silence gradually ensued
Mr. Liston, finally laid down his knife
and fork, and turning to Charlotte, had
half opened his lips to speak, when Mrs.
Liston, in the anxiety Of fear, lest he was
about to develope her deception, antici-
pated him with
