Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1877-03-24

we were sitting d'SCOnSOlalclN dlscU'H-
ing all manner of Wild impossible
schemes. 1t was an exquisite night; the
heat OF the day was over; not a breath
OF wind stirred the delicate blossoms OF
the plants which adorned our balcony,
and the moon was rising in all her liquid
lOvcliness, casting a cool light over the
scene. Everything looked calm and
quiet and peaceful; the pulse of the
great city were hushed there was moth
ing to break the silence, except poor
Henry's hopeless tones repeating, " 4
crisis can't be far of, Kate. What are
we to do, ! know not ~
We iancied the amazement OF our
fricnds--the nine days wonder our mis-
fortune would cause, little dreaming
that our ending had long been conf
IDENTIFY predicted by them, and that our
hospitality had been rOundly censurcd
and condemned by the very partakers OF
it. Still less did we imagine that Mr..
Trevor, so far from being lavOrably i'm
pressed with our surroundings, had gone
away-fulIv aware as he was with the
exact amount OF Hcnry's income
shocked and sorry to see that Henry Ar,
den had married a wife with 50 little
sense and judgment; and no second
glance from his keen eyes was wanting
to prove to him how terribly beyond it
we were living. His observations had
satisfied him that serious embarrassment
must ensuc; consequently he and his
partners had bestowed the desired post
and increased emolGments upon one who,
if he needed it less than we did, certainly
understood its value better
So no one but my mother and Uncle
Jocclyn would he surprised, though We
imagined 50 differently, as We sat on and
on in our pretty drawing-room talking
over the weary subject and pondering
what we could possibly do, We should
have to sell off everything, to leave Am
berly Villas, and to begin life over again,
Henry's prospects, Of course, would he
seriously damaged and we could never
hope to thoroughly regain the position
our own folly had deprived us Of 1t

change could not be far off.
