BLOOMING-TON, IU. 1 P ship, not, however, until, according to the Governor's pressing invitation, we had promised to return on the following day. Once on board there was nothing spoken of among all onr party but the gracious reception we had met with, the charm of the Governor's family and the anticipated pleasure of to-morrow's re- me to return to France ; that I loved the eldest daughter of the Governor ; that I was in return beloved, and that some excuse must be made that I should, at least for the present, leave the ship and remain on the island In vain the Captain urged, dissuading me from my purpose. I became furious. At last, finding that any attempt to keep me aboard was useless, like a man of experi- THE GOVERNOR'S DAUGHTER. We had been sailing sixty-four days-- a longer time than it usually takes to come from Rio Janeiro to any port of France. How gladly we hailed the ending of the voyage and our near ap­ proach to land ! Thus far, until to-day, nothing had appeared in pight, and when the welcome sound of " land ahead !': fell upon our ears, with one bound, and moved, as it were, by an electric cur­ rent, every passenger in the ship, for­ getting his occupation, stood upon the deck to greet mother earth again. Only they can tell who have looked on sea and sky until the days become weeks and months how good it is to meet the land, and in the meeting leave behind the monotony that in long sea voyages falls down upon the ship like a pali. We entered the harbor of Horta, chief city of Fayal, one of the Azores. No time was lost in getting ashore. Every­ one sought out his best suit. From the hold of the ship great trunks were yielded up, and silks and diamonds and costly costumes, long unused, were eagerly brought into requisition. At last we were ready, and soon our feet touched the long-desired land. Horta as a harbor is scarcely worth describing. Lying idly, swinging on the waters, were a few fishing smacks ; the hulk of an old American ship told a story of wreck and disaster, while a small Danish brig, lately come in for a supply of fresh water, said plainly enough in its loneliness that few vessels' entered this solitary harbor, and then only when they could not help it, as in the case of the India merchantmen com­ ing hither for a renewal of provisions and some fresh meat. The town itself looked as dreary and as lonesome as the harbor. Here and there a group of men might be seen talking, laughing and jesting with one another, but evidently, as far as occupation was concerned, practically unemployed. Some lay 011 the wharves, indolent as the lazzaroni of Naples, while others again went up and down the narrow streets, heedless of purpose and caring little, to all appear­ ance, how soon the day might end. A few old women, in long blue cloaks and heavy hoods, were in the streets, and swme barefooted sisters from a neigh­ boring convent made up the picture presented for our inspection on our ar­ rival in Horta. To account for the small number of persons we encountered is not difficult, since the people of these islands seldom come out m the daytime, leaving until the cool evening the en­ joyment of their recreation and what business transactions they contemplate. The news of our coming, however, soonwpread, and curious faces of more- curkmsfkeoplcTTvereto be seen at every corner, eagerly eying the lately-arrived | strangers . Nor were the natives un- j friendly in their manifestations in their : professions even, of friendship. The Gov- j ernor of the island sent some of his slaves j to oflei U3 baskets of oranges and other j tropical fruits. This kindness we inter- : preted as a good omen, reminding us, a» it did, of the hospitality of Guacauga- gari to Columbus 011 liis arrival at St. j Salvador. Calling upon the friendly and kind-hearted stranger, we returned j our very sincere thanks, and were in ' turn received with most generous and 1 polite attention. j The Governor's name was Fernandez Correjo. A Brazilian by birth, he had 1 been a long time at the court of Lisbon, where by his intelligence and breadth of view he had become distinguished, en- j dearing himself to all the court and j making hosts of friends. He soon ac- j quired place and power, and was named j Governor of Fayal in token of his many j services and the esteem in which he was | held by the Government of Donna Maria. The Governor invited the ship's company to a grand banquet. Nothing was left undone to make our sojourn pleasant as possible. Our host enter­ tained us with princely courtesy; varie­ ty of dishes vied with the excellence of their preparation, while the best wine that Spain can boast crowned a repast truly royal in all its serviee. We thanked our stars for coming to that island. Fernandez Correjo had three daughters. One of them, the oldest, was of dazzling beauty. She was just 18, with a perfect figure and dark, piercing eyes. The ex­ pression of her face bore an inexpressi­ ble charm. Her hair fell in long ring- | lets, outsluning in brilliancy the raven's • wing. A rumor was current in tl\f island that ; this young lady was shortly to marry a rich American, who had taken up his abode at Horta. Her youthful heart, 1 however, had never yet experienced that ' strange sentiment called love, and never yet had the magic words, " I love thee," passed her ruby lips. Innocent and pure, this young girl knew not how- strewn with thorns is life's weary path ; how bloom the roses, fresh in their fra­ grance, yet hiding the sting. Careless of to morrow was she, heedless of strife; so far she had only read a gilded book, ; turned a golden page. Alas, poor child ! dream on thy dream of peace. In a few <lays thou shalt awake to misery, if not to despair. When the repast was over Don mi Leonia (this was the lady's name) sat down at the piano, and in a moment our hearts were entranced by the most exquisite tones I have ever heard evoked from that instrument. I imagined that J I was again at home. Visions of my I native country came at will--the old1 homestead, my mother's face, my play- ' mates of younger years, my sister's j voice, my brother's friendly call--all, all | came up before me, and once more, , though so far removed, I was in France j again. Illusion of an hour ! I was and would yet be long separated from all my I friends, and little did I know, as music j wove its cliarm9 al>out me, how much : happiness, how much wretchedness, still j awaited me in the island.

Some men are unfortunate ; some may- do as they pleaaS. Such a man, for in­ stance, is William Torris, the American, lately settled here. He needs no eterni­ ty to wait for happiness, for he may en­ joy even here all the delights of the promised land." "I beg of you," said Leonia, "not to mention that man's name in my pres­ ence. I have never given him mv heart and his eyes have never looked down into my inmost soul. I have always been indifferent to him. Now I hate him, and in future I shall put an end to all his visits ; no nuptial ring of his shall and happy." This latter is the,j^eon ing of the financiers in our day. , 0, t^mpora! O, mores J r a- ALL SORTS* «s» willing captive to the charms of the beautiful daughter of the Governor. Just as the sun was pouring the first rays of purple and gold from his throne in the East, I rose the next day, and, dressing myself with sorupulous care, sought the early breeze on deck. I was anxious, though I carefully guarded my secret, to leave the ship and once more set foot in Horta. A light wind that was blowing had gone down, a ripple kissed the water between our good ship and the land, and everything promised a most glorious day. With bounding velocity our boat cleared the distance separating us from our friends, and we were on shore in a few moments. As we drew near, I knew not why, my I me to him, no matter what prom- heart beat with a mad impulse and sin- "" ^ 1 " ™ gular contradiction more than once, much as I burned to see the object of my love. I wished a hundred times I had never left the ship's side. But this can be explained. When a man is only 20 years of age, love is a very remark­ able antithesis; at 40 he understands it better, and later on in life well. Before entering the Governor's house I saw my beloved at the window, her eyes bent in the direction of the ship. " Why is she there ? " I said, in my in­ most heart, " and does she expect any­ one in particular." One glance told me all. In a moment I understood tlifa rea­ son. What happiness awaited me.! 1 was going to spend an entire day in the society of her my heart adored. Such a day is an eternity. How many men have never in the course of a long life had twelve hours of such bliss ! Fernandez, when breakfast had been partaken of, showed us over his vast es­ tates. My immediate companion was Leonia. A thousand little occasions dur­ ing the day gave me the opportunity I so much sought to tell my love ; never, however, boldly, but silently and only after the fasliion that lovers know so well. Finally, making an allusion to the country through which we were passing, I venture to exclaim : " What a charm ! reigns in this island, and how happy I j should be to live here !" ; " If the country pleases you so much," i replied Leonia, " why not remain here ? 1 But you are only joking. Moreover, I 1 have heard so much of your beautiful j country of France that I can scarcely j believe in the desire you express. Be- j sides, I remember all you said yesterday- concerning love of country and the hap­ piness of serving it. You see you gave me reasons to doubt you." " Yes," I rejoined, in faltering tones, " there are many things that make Us love our country--for instance, a moth­ er's love, a sister's devotion, the kind­ ness of old friends, the old house lses my father may have given." Plac­ ing her hand over her heart: " There is something stronger here," said she, "than any human will. Last night an angel with golden wings came to me in a dream. He brought me a casket of diamonds and precious stones. No doubt the spirit whispered joy and future hap­ piness by those gifts." This singular admixture of weakness and energy was not to be wondered at in Leonia. Her mother was born in Gran­ ada, and 011 her side she was of Moorish extraction; added to this was a most amiable natural character, and her Spanish pride and African impetuosity made her charming. She had read but one author, Camoens, and 110 doubt the inspirating lines of the Portuguese poet had inflamed her soul. She wept over the misfortunes of Inez and Dom Pedro, and the faithfulness as well as the cour­ ageous resignation of the former was in her eyes perfection. I told all my plans to Fernandez, who ! received me with the greatest kindness, j He woidd not hear of mv leaving his | house, and ordered for my aecommoda- ; tion a special apartment. The only dif- 1 ficulty I found was to be alone with j Leonia. Noemi, however, the little inu- : latto gill I have already mentioned, was \ her waiting-maid, and through her we managed to have long and private inter­ views. She also carried our letters, which were not written, but symbolical. In Brazil I had learned the language of flowers--and what delicious poetry is contained in these silent messengers ; speaking more than articulate language, conveying the longing of the soul and what seems infinite in love! A fort­ night went by. Noemi was trustworthy and had wonderfully succeeded in keep­ ing our secret to herself and our rela­ tions safe from prying eyes. But this supreme happiness was not to last for­ ever. Fernandez Correjo was not a man to be deceived. Besides, the extreme cold­ ness of Leonia toward William Torris wlieie wc we re born, the trees on the j an(| }K>1. repeuted denials of his suit made green where we played-all these tlungs llls inspire us with a longmg tor and a love of home. I can explain yesterday, though what I said then I will not say to-day." • "Were I not afraid of being indis­ creet," replied Leonia, " I would ask the reason of your sudden change of opinion." \ "And- I, " Donna lieonia, already thought you had guessed the reason, but, since you have not, allow me to keep my secret." The embarrassment visible in the face and in every movement of my compan­ ion revealed more than any answer she might have given. Fearing to wound matters worse, awakened his suspicions, and one night when I was on bended knees before my adored, Fernandez ap­ peared. Passing by, however, on his evening walk, hp seemed to take no not­ ice of what was going on. The next day I was summoned to hfe presence. I walked with a firm step and quiet nerve, for, although I knew he might reprimand me severely, I felt sure he would never despise me. "Sir," said he, "I have desired to see you. Sit down. You love my daughter, she loves you. All this I know. But perhaps you are not aware that before your arrival she had already been engaged to marry William Torris. Sir, I respect an oath with all the honor or annoy her, I remained silent, and for of an old Castilian, but, as the happi- a long time we walked on, no word es­ caping our lips. At length we sat down at the foot of a little hill. Straightway in front of us was ac immense field sown all over with daisies. "In the country I came from," said I, " this pretty flower is much prized, and lovers use it to find out the degree of love existing between them. Here's how it's done." Saying which, I threw aside, one by one, the petals of the flower and repeated, at the same time, the mystic words. I stopped at the words "just a little." "I did tins011 purpose,'" said L "So you love me ' a little ?' " Leonia blushed. " Then you deny it, do you ? " uess of my child mustjnot be sacrificed even to the sacredness of an oath, I now OfSk you, sir, who you are, foi I do not know you, and if my love for my daughter makes me forswear an honor­ able principle, it cannot at any cost make me forget my authority and my duty." "Sir," I replied, " I thank you for the courtesy with which you have treated me. God knows how much I love your daughter, and there is nothing I am not prepared to do to obtain your consent.

While the Captain and the pass­ engers were saving a last farewell to Fer­ nandez, quietly approaching Leonia I whispered in her ear : "I shall not go with them to-morrow. At 9 o'clock, expect me. I shall return." The day of sailing came. With a favoring wind the ship that bore me to Horta started for the coast of France. I stood on the shores watching her re treating lines until her masts grew smaller and smaller on the horizon.

OF THE WES1 The lint AT ST0KY PAPEK Obstacles to the Census in SS. Louis. Fatty McMartin, the eensns-taker, says that he was going up O'Fallon street, the other day, searching for names, and while engaged in that occupation he happened into a house where a colored man and woman were having a fight. They suspended hostilities upon the ap­ proach of the census man, and gazed with astonishment at him and the big covered book which he carried. "What do you want?" the colored man asked McMartin. "I am taking the census," said Mo- Martin, "I want your--" "You can't git ours, kase we ain't got any," said the colored man. "Do you see dat pot on de stove yonder? Look into it. You don't see nutliin' in it, do you? I went to work on the levee dis mawnin', and foe I lef I gib Julia a dol- lali an a quater to git dinna wid. White man, it's dinna time now, ain't it? Of couse it is, but dinna ain't redy, nor likely to be. Dere ain't no provisions in de house, neider, and de dolla an' a qua­ ter's gone. Julia's done spent it for whisky. Do you s'pose if she'd had sense she d a spent dat dolla an' a5 quater for whisky? Do you B'pose if I'd had sense I'd give her de dolla an'a quater? I guess not." The census man explained that it was not that kind of senses that he was look- for, and the negro, upon the explanation, gave him their names.--&, Louis Re­ publican. A Hawk Steals a Hat. A few days ago, as a son of Mr. Nich­ olas Nomsn, of Nassagaweya, was pass­ ing 'through the woods on his farm, he noticed a hawk hovering around near him. Thinking nothing about the mat­ ter, he walked on, when all at once, and before he had time to make any defense, the bird dived down and caught his hat iu its claws and carried it aloft. When the bird got about the height of the trees t let the hat drop.--Montreal Witness.
