ner; and when she took the hand Of her
little stranger guest between both of hers,
and holding it kindly, said, "You are the
only stranger here, Miss Dalton; but for
my sake you must try to feel at home," an
affection for Mrs. Beauchamp entered into
the heart Of the young girl, which has con-
tinued ever since steadily to increase. That
she should conceive such an affection was
not unnatural, for there was something in
the appearance and manners Of Mrs. Beau
champ, combined with her position IN lie,
ca culated to strike the imagination and
touch the feelings Of warm-hearted and
romantic girl such as Fanny Dalton, more
especially one circumstanced as she was.
Even her previous prejudice, with the re-
action natural to generous mind, was
likely to heighten her subsequent admira-
lion. But it is not 40 easy 10 account for
the sudden interest the pretty governess
created at first sight in the heart Of her
hostess. Many girls as pretty and as in
telligent-looking as Miss Dalton she had
seen before, without their having inspired
spark of the tenderness she felt toward
this unknown stranger. She could not
comprehend it herself. She was not prone
ito take fancles," as the phrase il; and yet
whatever might be the cause, certain it
was, that there was a nameless mething
about this girl which seemed to touchsont
of the deepest chords Of her nature, and to
cause her heart to yearn toward her with
something like mothers love. She felt
that If Miss Dalton were all that she had
heard, and that if she should really prove
~ on's choice, be should not he gainsad

The Christmas party at Woodthorpe
Hall was generally merry one; and this
wear il was even merrier than usual
Fanny Dalton was the life Of the party;
her disposition was naturally lively one,
and this hour of sunshine in her clouded
day called forth all it's vivacity. Rul
Fanny was not only clever, lively, and
amable; her conduct and manner, occa-
scnaIlv displayed traits Of spirit--nay, Of
pride; the latter, however, OF q generous
rather than an egotistical description.
Nothing was 80 certain to call it forth a.
any tale OF meanness or oppression. One
morning Miss Sharpe had been relating al
anecdote OF gentleman in the neighoor-
hood who had jilled (odious word an
alniabIe and highly estimable young lady,
to whom he had long been engaged, in
order to marry wealthy and titled widow
There were many aggravating ircums,an.
ces tending the whole affair, which had
contributed to excite still more against the
offender the indignation Of all right-think-
ing persons. The unfortunate young lady
was reported to be dying of a broken heart.

THE CONTEST IN TIE EMPIRE STATE
1t IS very true saying that success is TO be
attained by those only who have confidence
in their ability TO achieve it, and il seems
very likely To have one more cXemplifiCation
in November next. The Democrats are full
of hope, because from all parts of the State
come such assurances of sympathy and &C.
tive interest in their proceedings as warrants
them in entertaining hope. Daily aces
sions are being made to their ranks and
everywhere there arc most unmistakabo evil
dcnces that the great tide of public scDti-
ment is flowing day by day with increasing
impetus and volume against the mountain Of
corruption that has reared its head at Wash
lngton. The task of removing it from its
resting place will Of course not be accom-
plishcd easily nor in short space of time,
but The waters, by their continued action.

which it stands, that before very long The
people will have no impeachment to the view
Of their country in all the glorics of its pris.

In TINS contest the Importance of the Issue
is SO fully perceived that all differences of
nationality are sunk In the fact of American
citizenship. All varieties of opinion upon
minor matters arc merged In the one idea of
honesty anu truth, rs opposed to insincerity
and falselood. Germans, Irish, French, and
English are no longer names that are known;
black and white are distinctions no more
recognized; oil arc American citizens. dc.

DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS IN ALABAMA.-The
Democrats made clean sweep in Alabama
last Monday, electing Governor Houston
and their entire State ticket by majority of
10000. They also elect seven out Of eight
congressman. 1t is a matter for congratula-
ton that good order prevailed oil over tho
State. In 1879 President Grant carried Ala
bama by 10,s2S majority. III 1874 tho tide
turned, and GOV. Houston was elected by
1880 majority. Tho results of the election
on Monday show very large Democratic
gains, and will have the effect of securing
for Tflden and Hendricks the entire electoral
vote OF the Southern States-at least every
one in which q fair election is held.
