Mr.. Ashcroft sat next to Mar
gnret. As she expected he gave
out line, the last word of which
it was impossible to match. She
made no attempt to do so, but
merely said:
"Well, Mr.. Ashcroft?"
"ShaI I say on?"
"She grew a little pale-set her
teeth-and answered him in a
cool, even voice:
eyes, you may say on"
"And you will promise to per-
form?"
81 have promised.
Every well, then" He leaned
over and whispered in her ear
the words were totally inaudible
to the others, but Miss Yelling
ton heard them distinctly-"Kiss
the man you love best"
She reddehsd visibly and a look
of pain came into her eyes.
"Is this fair, Mr.. Ashcroft?"
Certainly there was no stipu-
lation in regard to the nature of
the forfeit"
"You are right. Shall 1 take
my own time?"
Yes"
She smiled to herself-Ash-
croft, half triumphant, bade the
game go on. Horace Granville
softly withdrew. For some rea-
son the sound. of mirth and hap
piness grated harshly on his ear
it was misery for him to sit
there and watch those gay young
faces and listen TO the chorus of
sweet voices.
He sought his aunt's private
sitting room, but it was dark.
She had retired. He threw HIM
self down upon the sofa. The
darkness was pleasant to him.
Sometimes it is to all of us. The
silence and utter quiet soothed
him, and he knew not whether he
was dreaming Or awake.
There was soft rustic of gar
ments near him--the subtle ger
fume of violets drifted over his
senses, and then a touch so Slight
it would not have awaked a slum-
bering infant fell on his face.
A wild thrill shot through his
veins. Only one woman's kiss
one woman in all the world
could thrill him thus.
He had his arm about her
drew her down beside him held
her close. He felt her shiver in
his grasp-he knew that she was
weeping-but he was a man,
with all q mans grand selfish
ness, and he would not spare her.
"There is but one woman could
move me thus! Speak to me, my
Margaret. May 1 say mine?"
There was no reply, but warm
arm crept around his neck, and
for him the darkness was light.
81 had hoped SO little and loved
SO much! oh, Margaret!'he began.
"And will you forgive me, Hor-
ance, for loving you unasked?"
"Forgive you? Do we forgive
heaven for opening to US the gol-
den doors?"
Mr.. Ashcroft was politely as
tonished at the turn affair, had
taken. He left Rainsford two
days after Miss Wellington's be-
trothal was made public.

THE EDITORS DREAM.

The editor sat in luxurious
chair, fragrant ten-center be-
tween his lips. He is pleasantly
conscious of heavy weight in his
pocket. 1t is a purse containing
gold eagles, one hundred dollar
bills and bankable notes. The ed
itor Is considering a PROPOSE ton
to become president of new bank
ing Institution at o magnificent sal
ary. Then, too, he is considering
whether it would not be wise, ow-
ing to the great rush of advertis-
ing,to double the size of lis paper,
add a new hoe press and employ
more printers. Yes, the paper
will certainly stand all this.
The editor is at peace with all
the world, for has he not toiled
for this early and later, and is not
his success deserved? At last he
can offer to the little girl who has
waited for him these long years
and encouraged him in his weary
labors, a home of comfort luxu-
ry and ease. Alb, yes, place
which shall bo akin to paradise
to this man who has won the bat.
tie of life by honest endeavors
and manly efforts.
The editor rubs his eyes and
looks around. The fire in the old
broken stove is out and he is shiv-
erlng with the cold. He is seated
on nail-keg,and between his teeth
is grosped the stem of a pipe,
old and battered. The old army
press still occupies its place in
the corner. The delapidated, sha-
ky rack, with its burden of minion,
worn to the shoulder, stands near
the stove where it always has stood.
A small boy enters and presents
an unpaid wash bill. The editor
feels for his plethoric pocket
book. 1t is not there. A holey
nickel, which has stayed with him
these many days, rewards the
search. His bright prospects and
sudden wealth are myths the ed
itor has been dreaming.
Hopelescly the editor walks to
the wn low and gaz out upon the
snow clad streets. There is jim
gle Of 6ells, sleigh flies by. In
ltsits she of whom be has dream
ed, and 10y her sits a man Of
wealth and distinctiol.-the edi-

the editors face. He walks with
faltering steps to the door. and.
taking one last look Mt the old Of
hce where he has t0iled so hard
for love and prosperity, he pnsses
out and Is gone.
Where is he now? Or, he is
only a tramp Sometimes here
and a hundrad miles away to-mor-
row. Don't wa.ry about him.
People say heis n worthless fel-
low, and no matter if his feet are
sore and his heart heavy, they
keep him on the tramp. He
might steal something, you know.

A GAME OF FORFEITS.

Isabel Rainsford looked ur
from the letter she held In hen
hand with sparkling eyes.
ooh, how gooodl She Will be
here tomorrow"
"Who, Bell?" asked Lieutenant
Granville.
pardon me. l had forgotten
your presence, Horace. I refer
to Miss Wellington Margaret.
You have heard me mention her?'
"Many times. A beauty, is she
not?"
"She is. She is unlike all the
woman you have seen, [ know.
And have set my heart on her
fancying Frank Ashcroft. He
has firted with oil the bellies and
beauties of New York for the
past six years. l have asked him
here to spend September. Won't
it be glowing game of diamond
cut diamond?"
perhaps. I wish you success
of your scheme"
Granville had been a month at
Rainsford, in the quiet suburban
home Of his aunt, petted and
nursed by his pretty cousin Isa
bel and lionized by the fair ladies'
Of Amboy.
The morrow brought Miss We'll
lington.
There are some persons who
impress you with o subtle sense
Of their power afar of. She
brought a rare, new atmosphere
with her to Rainsford. There had
been nothing SO dam nserously
sweet before.
Horace Granville crimsonel to
the forehead when her soft, cool
fingers touched his-and grew
vexed and angry with himself for
shiVering when the heavy folds
of her silk dress swept across his
feet.
After that first night Mss Wei
iington seldom noticed Lieuten-
ant Granville. She was courte-
Gus always, but her proud eyes
never softened nor her rich voice
troubled when she spoke to him,
She maintained toward him a sort
OF queenly, high bred reserve
which he never attempted to over
come.
Frank Ashcroft arrived only
two days after Margaret.
The game began directly. For
once it was plain to see that Ash
croft was in earnest. If he did
l.ot marry Miss Wellington it
would be through no lack Of ef-
fort ou bis part.
Day by day Ashcroft was by
her side; her.companion in rides,
walks, excursions-her most de-
voted cavalier constantly.
The month passed OF pleasant
ly-swiftIy. Only those hours
seem lonely which are given to
sadness.
On Saturday Horace Granville
was to return to New York. His
wound disabled him for service,
but he had the offer Of lucrative
position in the war office ct Wash
ington, and would probably ac-
cept. He was without fortune
his only income would be his pen
sion; and now for him manual
toll was out of the question.
His expected departure was
mentioned among the guests at
Rainsford. All were profuse in
their exclama'ioDs of regret, All
except Miss Wellington, She
politely suppressed a yawn and
challenged Mr.. Ashcroft to q
game of ponds. She was tired of
chess, and music on night when
the crickets' were so Jubilant
would be out of place.
Ashcroft consented readily, but
only on one condition, he said.
"Namo your proposition" she
said, coldly.
"It is this: I pledge myself to
perform whatever forfeit you may
inaict upon ne, and / require the
same promise from you"

much more than his wol3s, search

BILOXI, MISS, Sept. IL, 1856.
Editor D~emocrat.Star.
In your issue of September 10th,
you state : "Drs. Lemon and May.
bin called the sickness at Biloxi
malarial bilious fever and not con.
tagious at any stage"
This statement is unwarranted.
| made no snch statements. There
is no such disease known to physi-
clans as ''mGLdrfGt biliONS' fever. l
stated from first to last that the
fever prevailing at Biloxi, for a few
days was malarial fever of a mild
type, yielding readily to the proper
treatment, and in this opinion |
been sustained by Drs. For
mentO, Godfrey and Murray. / am
not responsible for what others say
and desire what l say, and the
position | occupy be properly stated.
Ia justice to myself, will you be
kind enough to give this space in
VOur paper.

drought and people are moving out
of many counties. Rain has not
fallen for eighteen months in some
places. Grass has entirely dlsap-
peared, wells are going dry, there
is no water in the creeks, cattle
have died, and starvation seems
eminent in some places, unless the
inhabitants move away.
