For since he had seen dove eyed Fanny.

but you can't expect man to sell himself for

glance at Fanny, II shall marry for love only"
And little Fanny Pynhurst looked slyly up
at him from under her long eyelashes, and
secretly thought what hero he was. But all
this time these very needless aud consistent
young people pever thought o! teaching each
other where they were going. aud when the
train run into the station the Dorranes car
risge was waiting
'Mr. Dorrance's if you please" said the
diver. touching his Gold>banded cap. ''To
meet Miss Pynhurst."
Fanny looked around for her escort. Ho
was busy sorting out her trunks from the mis-
cellaneous heap on the platform.
II am Miss Pyuhurst," said she.
And Just rs she was about to enter tho car
riagc Field made his appearance, flushed and
breathless.
"Wherc is Miss Pyuhurst"
"Here am" said Fanny. "My friend
has sent her carriage" said she.
Florian opened his eyes wide.
That's my sisters carriage" said hc.
'Mrs. Dorrance'sI"
"Yes, Mrs. Dorrancc's."
"You-you are Mrs. Dorranee's brotherS"
cried out Fanny.
"And you are my sisters heiress ?" echoed
Floriau.
Fanny Pyuhurst burst out laughing, and
FIorian Disconnected though no was, could
not but join in her mirth; for, you perceive.
the situation was very ludicrous.
"Miss Pynhurst," said FlOriau frankly,
''whnt fool have appeared to you"
II think you have been very kind and po>
lite, said Fannie earnestly.
And Mrs. Dorrance, who had not expected
| her brother until the next day, wss quito
surprised when Florian led in the little heir
ess. with face all rosy and smiling.
"How do you like her. Floriun 7" asked
Mrs. Dorrsnee, when Fanny had gone into
her room.
She's an angel" answered the young man
enthusiastically.
GLOW do you like brother. Fanny J" que
ried the fair arch. pIotter, when Fanny reap
peared and Florisn was smoking cigar in
the dining.room with his brother-in -in-law.
"Oh, he's splendid !' confessed Fanny,
laughing and coloring.
And the upshot of II was, that Florian
Field married the little heiress aftOr all. But
it was for love alone.

A THRILLING SCENE.

A writer in the Ledger says: hod In
my scrap>bOok, clipped aud pasted there
score of years ago. Anything touching tho
Austrian cavalry had n charm for me at tho
time, as l was just home from that part OF
the world. l had witnessed the evolutions
at drill of the cavalry OF every European ma
zion excepting the Russians, and the Aus.
trisu bore the palm. IL is grand sight
twenty to forty Thousand horses, where each
and every horse knows and understands the
slightest note Of the bugle. sweeping over q
broad plain, aud changing position like an
enormous machine, guided by an unerring
master hand. 1t must bS seen to be appre.
ciated. Words cannot reproduce the picture.
On a certain occasion event transpired
which lent an interest most thrilling 20 the
military scene. It was n review. held in
Vienna ion the occasion of the fifteenth snni-
versary of the establishment Of the military
order Of Maria Theresa.
Not far from thirty thousand cavalry were
in line. A little chi!d-a girl-of not moro
than four years. standing in the front row OF
spectators, either from fright or some other
cause, rushed out into the open field just hs
n squadron of hussars came sweeping around
from the main body. They had made the
detOur for the purpose Of sslutipg the EN-
press, whose carriage was drawn up in that
part of the ground. Down came the flying
squadron, charging at n mad gallop-down
directly upon the child. The mother, was
paralyzed, as were others, for there could be
no rescue from the line Of spectators. The
Empress uttered cry of horror, for the child's
destruction seemed inevitsble-and such
terrible destruction-the tramplipg to death
by Thousand iron hoofs.
Directly under the Feet of the horses was
the Iit:le oue-suother instant must seal It's
doom-when aialwart hussar, who was in
the front line, without Stacking his speed o:
loosening his hold, threw himself over by
the side Of his horses neck, seized and lifted
the child. and placed il in safety upon his
saddle bow. and this he did without changing
his pace or breaking the correct alignment Of
the squadron.
Teu thousand voices hailed with rapturous
applause the gallant deed. and other thousands
applauded when they knew. Two women
there were who could only sob forth their
gratitude in broken accents-tbe mother and
the Empress.
And . proud and happy moment must IL
have been for the hussar when his Emperor,
taking from his owD bresst the richly eneir-
cled Cross Of The Order Of Maria There's,
hung it upon the breast of his brave and GAL
lant trooper.

BLISS LAST HYMN.

IThe last Verses Written by the Evancelt
Who Perished at the AshtabuIa Bridget
Iknow not what awaits me.
God kindly wells mine ewes,
And DER each step on my onward way
He makes new scenes arises
Aud every jov He seuds mo eomes
A sweet and gla6 surprise.
He may lead IN eoEspw.
My trust in Him repose.
And every hour in perfect peace
I'll sing, HE knows. He knows
One step SEQ before ms;
Ills all need to see;
The light heaven more brightly shines
When earth's illusions flee,
And sweetIy through the silence camo
His loving Follow me.s
o blissfzl lack of wisdom.
'Tis blessed not to know;
He holds me with His own right hand,
Ana will not let me go,
And lulls my troubled soul to rest
In HIM who loves me so.
So'on1 go, not knowing,
Iwould not if might
d rather walk in the dark with God
Than GO alone in the light:
I'd rather walk by faith with Him
Than go alone by sight.

PROPORTION OF VOTERS TO POP.
ULATI0N.

A correspondent Of the Washington Union
gives to that paper the following result of
comparison of tho vote of several States,
cities and counties in the recent election.
For example he takes two States, Ohio and
Michigan, that voted for Mr.. Hayes. The
population of Ohio is estimated for 1875 at
$500, 900 vote at the national election 659,-
600; one to every four, aud one-quarter of
the population. Michigan, estimated popula.
tion $780, 900; vote 316, 900, one to every
four and oue-quarter of the population.
Take two Democratic States-Connecticut's
population is estimated up to 1875 at 600 900;
vote at the national election 12l 900; one to
every FIVE of the population. Maryland's
population $50, 600, estimated up to 1873
vote at national election l63, 600; Otfe vote
for every fre and oue>quarter of the popula>
ton. Next compare two Democratic cities
with two Republican. New York, popula-
tion 100000; vote III 900; one vote to
every six and one-half of the population.
population 100000 !; vote 81, 600;
one vote for every six and one>haf of popu>
lation. neutrality-suspicious. 800, 600
vote l39, 900; one vote for every five ard
three>quarters of population. San Francisco
population 15O, 900 vote Al 500 one vote
for every three and sixty one one>hundredths
of population. These last figures are res
markable, and plainly Indicate the reason of
Hayes carrying California. 1t must likewise
be remem bered that there are large number
of Chinese in San Francisco who do not vote,
and are embraced in her population of l50,-
900.
The writer continues these comparisons still
further. and points out the fac. that in every
instance quoted the vote in Republican States,
cities and counties is much larger in propor>
tion to population than in Democratic States,
cities and counties. Illinois has population
of $500, ,000 the same as Ohio, but has only
500, 600 voters. Ohio polls 104 600 votes
more than Illinois, which is perhaps to be at
trbuted to the strenuous canvass made in be,
half of her own citizen as candidate for the
presidency.
