TIE WEDN0RES' " HOP. ="
A JERSEY STORY.

My dear, they are as good rs engaged;
ey always were together even before Gertie
IS in her teens; and two years ago, when
was sixteen, there was tremendous

lcratulated both Colonel Moray and Mrs
We on the engagement. OF course the

six months: and ever since then, whenever
Harry has been over here, six rounds
together at every hop, and all the squares

liked it or n0t. 1 suppose, now Percy has
Ehis money left him, ii viii be all right"
So spoke Miss May Faulker, a Jersey belle,
aged twenty, to her companion, Clare Graf
tan. girl two years her senior, who had
come from England on a visit to the Gives
above mentioned.
The girls were stroll;ng slowly along the
ST. Helier's broad white sands; they were
tagging rather behind the rest OF their party,
which had split itself up into other couples.
Clare Grattan's heart was heavy with
dull oppression of pain, the result of fear
become a reality, as she answered.
"Then you think Mr.. Moray" There was a
momentary pause before she spoke his name)
"and Gertie care for one another?"
"Think so? look theTe!"

With these words Miss Give ran down
stairs, and Clare had no opportunity for say
ing more.
=" How good of you to be early exclaimed
Florence Wedmore, entering the cloak-room
as Clare and Gertie were disencumb ering
themselves of their wraps. 1--WE put you

Glare. " / am rather tired, and don't want
to dance much"
Florence shook her head.

there's the first waltz beginning. I put
down Miss Fox for that; she always plays
the Faust, and thumps so. It's as well TO
get her performance over before many
people come"
a jersey hop is very much more primitive
in its arrangements than an English carpet
dance. AT the former entertainments the
carpet is nearly always up-so far jersey

the small hops of from thirty to eighty,
principally in the Shingles.
The Wedmores' was pattern one of its
kind-bright, gay, with all the pretty and
good dancers-it is hard 10 find Jersey girl
who is not both. The dancing-room soon
grew full; but neither Mr. Moray nor Cap
tain Rashton had yet appeared, though they
went TO their respective abodes to Don
evening dress shortly before eight o'clock
The night was so sweet and warm that the
piano had been moved into the verandah
which surrounded the house, and which
bad been hung with four paper lanterns-a
proceeding which caused many old ladies
to remark enthusiastically that "it looked
like fairyland." Outside this fairyland was q
cool calm, scented garden, a wide, hushed sky,
moonless, but bright with stars; and far off
the restless splash of the waves on the
shore. Inside was lit room, gay with
evergreens, and bright with many-colored
dresses, pretty faces, and the rhythmical
sound Of dancing feet.
Clare sat at the piano between these two
worlds; the light falling ON her showed her

trying to convince herself against her hearts

that if he did illogical but girlish sequence,
it was her. duty to Gertie to reject his aiIec-

A light tap at the door, and Gertie entered,
looking very pretty in soft white silk much
smothered with lace.

Grattan, and she spoke the truth. Gertie's
eyes were shining ike bits Of sunit summer
sea; her cheeks "as crimson dyed ingrain;"
her fair hair was rulIled in that sweet order
of disorder which best suits a Greuze face
and low white brow.
"Will you put in my fOwers?" said Ger
tie, holding up the great pink bells Of the
belladonna lily for Clare to fasten in her
hair.
"Thank you, DEAR" as it was accomplished,
and the little lady pirouetted round, hum

Glare to exclaim:
"Ge,tie are you bewitched? What is the
matter with yOu?"

glow of wounded pride, far deeper and
stronger than that of the younger girl, burnt
her pale cheel, at the idea that she--Clare
Grattan-should be suspected of flirting. 1t

A BOOK FOR OANYAssERs.
ga ROYAL GENTLEMAN,

Judge Tourgee Of North Carolina, the
famous author OF "A Fool's Errand" and
"Bricks without Straw" has added to his
series Of striking historical studies, anoth-
er work, entitled II Royal Gentlemen"
In dramatic power, in romantic interest,
and in literary finish, it is the authors
masterpiece.
"a Royal Gentleman" portrays in novel
and graphic manner, 6pe characteristic
elements, never before so clearly analysed
and treated. namely-the Southern View of
the Rebellion; the Autocrdtic Stakeholder,
standing at the top OF the social scale; the
Poor White, then lying at the bottom, but
now last climbing to the higher levels the
typical Young Southernr before, during,
and since the war, together with his rela
tions-personal, social. and logal-with
the typ,cui Sldre Girl of beauty, intelligence
and subsequent refinement, Whose charms
and virtues are alike tainted by the faint,
and indistnguishable trace OF slave blood
in her veins. II is picturesque, vivid,
and passionate story, and there Is that in
IL which will attract the most cultivated
and fsstidious.
Ii is said that Judge Tourgee's books
reached within year, the enormous sale
of $50, 900 copies the most rapid sale in the
history of book publishing. His host of
readers will, we predict, find "A Royal
Gentleman" the most powerful and enter
tanning of the series. And those who have
not yet had the pleasure of reading Judge
Tourgee's remarkable books will do we'll
to commence with "A Royal Gentleman" !"

speak for reform and economy. A fire on
