member my promising you present If
you adhered to your odd notions 2"
" Yes, papa but told you did not
want a present"
"You'll find 1t in the drawing-room,
child.'
" won't take 1t, papa"
Wont you? Suppose you just take
a look at IL first"
And Maud went slowly up stairs, obe-
dent to her fathers gesture.
F." i will not take it, whatever 1t is
she thought, as she opened the door
" for-my goodness! Charley May ~
g Maud my own true lovel"
And Charley's bright brown eyes were
looking into her's-Charley's chestnut
moustache was close against her cheek
"What do you think about taking my
present now, Miss Maud ~ demanded
Mr.. Bryant, rubbing his hands gleeful-
ly. "I've sent all the way to Australia
for it, and 1 think you seem rather
pleased with it than otherwise. tell
you what, Charley May, you may i'm
agine that you have been working hard
for my daughter all these months, but
she has not been idle. Maud has well
earned the happiness of this hour"
And Mr.. Bryant went down stairs to
explain it all to Aunt Eloise, who was
highly mystified as to the state of affairs.
This was the solution of the enigma
that so puzzled the fashionable world
few days subsequently, when they read
in the papers that Maud Bryant had
married no more distinguished person
than Charley May.

Minnesota's Latest Romance.

Rochester, Mimi, has d romance.
The story is that young Bostonian.
named Carlton Stanton, went to Mime
sofa for his health in 1870, and at
Rochester met, and became engaged to
Mary Phillips, worthy girl. Unfor-
tunately, however, Stanton was thrown
from sleigh few months after, and
fatally hurt by the discharge of revolver
in his pocket.
His mother, then visiting at Chicago,
reached him in season to see him die,
and then returned to Boston. The poor
girl heard no more till last summer,
when she received letter from Mrs.
Stanton, saying that her dying boy made
her promise that $4,000 half his estate,
should be given to Miss Phillips; the
mother had postponed the fulfillment
of her promise, but was not content;
her only remaining son had just died,
and she assured the girl that she should
soon have her money.
Months passed, till about Thanks
giving time, another letter from Mrs.
Stanton begged the girl to come to Bos-
ton, for she was i'll. Miss Phillips went
and was taken to aluxuriant home, not
too soon, howev er, for Mrs. Stanton
died that night. But she appears not to
have forgotten her pledge, for within
few days, Miss Phillips has received,
at her home, $4,000, the amount due
from her lovers estate, with the news
that Mrs. Stanton had willed her $35,
600.

A Faithful Servant.

a poor man possessed fine large dog
had occasion to remove from one village
to another some distance off. For the
purpose of transporting the goods he
employed a small van, On which the
furniture was packed, the man leading
the horse, while his dog brought up the
rear. On arriving at his destination and
unloading the van, the man was aston
ished to dicover that chairand basket
were missing from the back part of the
van, and the dog could not be found
The day passed, but no dog was forth
coming, and the poor man began to fear
that something must have happened to
his dumb retainer. The next morning,
as he was on the way to the old cottage
to take away another load, judge of his
astonishment and delight when he saw
by the roadside not only his lost proper
ty, but his faithful dog, seated erect by
the chair and basket, keeping strict
guard over them. The articles had fallen
doubtless, from the van, which the man
had not observed; but his watchful com
panion had deemed it his duty to remain
and protect his masters property. AL
though left for so long a time without
food, the faithful creature had never
deserted his selfimposed charge until
he could surrender it to its rightftII
owner. Thejoy of master and servant
was without doubt great at the meet
ing.

A HISTORY or LOUISIANA.
NEW ORLEANS, October 8, Is

NEW ORLEANS, October 8. 1877.
Editor Dem0crat-What valuable
and interesting work would be q correct
yet succinot history OF Louisiana from
the discovery of the Mississippi up to
the Inauguration Of Gov. Nichols !!
There Is no such 1cork. No man has re-
corded the principle events Of historic
interest, giving their dates and descrip-
ton reliably, faiHJullg and .inriti'agly.
We have portions Of Louisiana's his
tory--fragments are wanting, as of the
Indian pottery, found in many places.
almost enough to make plot; some Of
the parts are lost forever. This we say
OF Louisiapa's history In 1877. Shall
the same language apply an hundred
years hence. thousand years hence !?
Let us hope not, and provide
against it.. Then Louisiana should have
an historian, capable writer, who
would set down oonsecutively all facts
that make up her history. clothe them
company OF the scientific, mechanical
and agricultural progress Of their day,
record with them biographical sketches
OF her most worthy sons and daughters,
even those in the private walks of life.
Pass such a work, we'll begun on-on-
on to the teeming millions yet unborn !;
they will prize it; they will thank us
for 1T; they will be benefited by 1t,
as with rich legacy, and they will add
to 1t for those who come after them.
Our State can elect, or our Governor,
by authority Ito be In him vested
through an act OF our General Assem-
bly, at its approaching SESSION., can APP
point our Herotodus, and set him at
work to write up our history as 1t is
made, and connecting the links OF the
broken chain Of the past. Such a his
tory, embracing the period of our State
administration, would make sizeable
volume. Its market value "a work
written by authority, and certified to
under the seal of STATED, would compen-
safe writer and publisher; and the po-
sition, at once, one Of honor and re-
sponssibility, would tempt talent and be
some reward for labor per Sc not labor
ious.
Second this Mr.. Editor. We want to
transmit to posterity the only thing that
can be passed down to them-the one
imperishable-our history, correctly
and faithfully. We wish to tell them
of our sufferings and trials and hero
ism. We want an historian to tell of
the dark days Of Louisiana, when car
pet baggers, vampires, scalawags and
cutthroats almost consumed her. We
want a historian to write in gilded let
ters of her redemption at the hands Of
dead and living heroes, and of her pro-
pitious start on the course of prosperity
and happiness for her people under her
own Governor, Francis I. Nichols.
