Carolina and the pale faced New
Hampshire lad, loved as though their
fathers had never faced each other in
an hundred battles.
CHAPTER ".
Reader, IL is but a prosy, unroman-
tic tale We are weaving, so IL viii not
pay you to look for a sensation, aud II
that hope has led you thus lar, we adj
wise you to throw down the EXAMINER
here. But we warn you that IL you
do, you willlose one of the best points
ever given, even TO the greatest work
of the loftiest romance weaver.
After this engagement was consum-
mated, Miss Etholis salary was added
TO that of Algernon's and the two ag-
gregated Just one hundred
and seventy-tlve dollars. Aitor de-
Quoting sixty-fve dollars for board,
and ali allowance of ten dollars a
month for clothing, the balance re-
naming monthly to the credit of the
firm of Tobin Il Manning was Just one
hundred and five dollars.
For two long years the youthful
couple toiled on. At the end of that
time the common exchequcr was
found to contain the snug little sum
of twenty-five hundred dollars. Then
they interviewed an architect, sought
out real estate dealer, and very soon
great activity was noticed on eli eligi-
bic lot-a beautiful site, on one OF the
principal residence streets of the city.
We leave to the imagination ofour
readers the fond consultations, the
whispered conference about the furni
ture of han and kitchen, parlors and
sleeping rooms. Doubtless these two
walls upon the wide sea of life found
all the ccstacy in building their nest
which God has gwen TO the birds of
the air when similarly employed.
Very soon a beautifully finished,
tastefully furnished house rose into
proportions. Then IL was that n few
choice friends of the loving pair, re-
ceivcd daintilly perfumed notes of in
vitation, and the parson was brought
one night to the new domicile. There
was u wedding, aud there was but lit
tie more stir over 1t than that which
usually attends the mating of the birds
OF the field. And et,who shall dare say
that the Car of Russia and his high
born empress are happier than are our
two young Representatives of the re-
constructed north and the reconstruct
ed south, thrown by the same wave of
adversely upon the same beach.
CHAPTER V.
But little remains TO be told of this
truthful tale, except that an incoming
train last week brought the two broth
ers and two sisters of our hero to the
home that loving hands had raised up
for them, even here in the wilds of
Texas. Thus does the Good Father
| wipe out sectionalism. In the memo
ry OF common losses, common tears
and n common struggle, is lost all that
embltters, and in the new future to be
built up by these two fond and faithful
workers. there will be no statues TO
recall the fact that their fathers
fought under hostile flags, or that
the one wore the blue aud the other
the grey. In this new western home
will the two boys learn TO love only
a common country and to live and
die citizens of the heritage not given
them by tine father rs trophy OF hi,
prowcss, but by the joint sacrifices
aud common virtues of worthy rep
resentatiyes from opposite sides o
Mason's and Dixon's line.
Now the object. of this brief ant
imperfect sketch is to teach how in
iinitely better it is to work out even
your own matrimonial salvation than
TO loaf round tn c throne waiting fol
rich sutton to turn up, or for YOU
uncle in England to die and make
matrimony possible.
If you should listen at the keyhol'
in this pleasant little man
sion almost any evening
YOU would not hear TRADE agains
Sam Jones, dissertation on "llberal
ism" or discussion of the latest bon
net from Paris. You might, however
hear something about the plan o
teaching in the normal school, tn
scholastic population of the city or tn
commercial outlook for the season,
Most writers love to liDger over tn
tragedies of life. We prefer the cain
unruilled flow, where virtue, industr
and intelligence adorn and elevat
: beauty, and make this life rich in a
F, that softens and transiigures a
existence none too much crowded, a
best, with incidents of this character
