A small, pleasantly-furnished morn­ ing-room ; long windows opening on the piasraa; closed Venetian blinds, that kept out the heat and dust, and gave a soft, quiet light to the room; an open piano, with music on the rack; some pretty pictures on the wall; cool lace ewrteins at the windows; books, papers and magazines on the tables; easy cane- bottomed rocking-chairs scattered around; a low qofa in the corner ; a French clock on the mantel, pointing toward 10 ; a general air of utility about the whole department--this was the set­ ting for two figures, one bright summer morning. The lady was leaning very lightly back upon the sofft, with some dainty pre­ tense at work in her lap--a handkerchief to be embroidered, I believe--her white fingers occasionally taking a lazy stitch. Dressed in some white, cool stuff that fell in graceful folds around her, a dash of red at her throat, and long, flowing sleeves, showing her finely-rounded arm, she made quite a pleasant picture. She would scarcely have been called handsome--her features were too irregu­ lar--but she possessed to a marked de­ gree that nameless charm we designate as " prettiness." Blue eyes and rip­ ping brown hair, rather a wide fore­ head, a nondescript nose, a good com­ plexion, and a large mouth redeemed by beautiful teeth, were the main and strik­ ing features. But a mere catalogue of a person's features gives about as much idea of the real living appearance as piles of briek and mortar of the struc­ ture to be erected. For all that she leaned back so care­ lessly, and toyed so lazily with her work, there was a look of annoyance about her eyes, and her lips were shut tight, in a way that argued well for a strong tinge of firmness--obstinacy, her girlfriends would call it--in her character. Evi­ dently the cause of that annoyance was before her--a tall, athle'ric j oung fellow of about 23, neither positively handsome nor ugly, yet negatively good-l#oking ; dark hair and eyes, and skin burned to a deep bronze by exposure to the sun, were the main points to be noticed. Angry, impatient, all but enraged, he certainly was. He had been tramping back and forth, and at length paused a few feet from her, his hand grasping the back of a chair, and looking down with admiration plainly struggling with his ^porokr.d feelings. "So, Nell, you are the same \.lllful, stubborn, obstinate girl you were three years ag«. In return for all ray patient faithfulness yau seem determined to thwart and cross me in every thing. It is anjust of you, ungrateful, cruel! Here TIB not home three days, and there hasn't Jseen a single solitary instance in which yoai ladyship has deigned to see any thing pleasant, any thing to accord with your angularly turned mind, in what­ ever I may have advocated. Just so «nre as I propose any thing, you espouse its direct opposite ; if I make even the > *ii»pleet request, you refuse it point- yank ;and everything I may happen to <flois diametrically opposed to what, in joor captious eyes, 1 ought to. And yet, all this time you still love me ! Love me ! If this is loye, I prefer hate--for you certainly could not torture me more, nor make me more uncomfortable, were I yem bitterest foe." "And has your highness really done ?" drawled, without looking up, in a ^peculiarly mocking and exasperating aoaaaer. "If Mr. Arnold has ceased to d«nre to tramp up and down the room, and lasii himself into a frenzy, after the proverbial manner of caged hyenas, and if be really has poured forth all the vitu­ perative abuse he for the moment desires to, and if he will sit quietly down at a .safe distance, and stop chewing his mus- %Mdhe, he may hear of something to his •frontage." " Nel1, you'd provoke a saint. Are all girls like you?" '* Yon havu had quite good opportuni­ ties to judge., You set m to have select- ad me as not being of the general run of modern yeung laaies--as one peculiar­ ly suited to the requirements of your fastidious taste. But, sir, pray be seated; the exertion of standing during Hiiehot weather may be highly deleteri- <M« in your present questionable condi­ tion ; and, ah! --really, you weary me by clutcning the chair so tightly; and then I'm afraid lest, in your present frame of mind, you might be tempted to annihilate me. "By heaven!'* he burst forth, throw­ ing himself into a chair, " I verily be­ lieve &e seven devils that were oast out have taken possession of you this morning." "Many thanks," she murmured. "If I were equal to the exertion, I worrld sweep you a courtesy. But since yon have condescended to yield to my re­ quest, listen to my very mild and depre­ catory justification. Well, then, you say you have been home three days, and in those three days I have thwarted yen in every thing you have proposed. You certainly have made three requests-- commands, if you will--which I have seen fit to refuse; three questions so manifestly absurd that no one but your royal highness could have evolved them from the depths of his inner conscious­ ness. Pray don't interrupt or get ex­ cited. Your first request was that, on the hottest of summer mornings, I should leave my guests entirely to their own devices, and take a wild gallop with you under the fiercest of suns, on a horse I had never mounted, and whioh is re­ ported to be a very ugly brute. Result of my veto, you go off enraged, and sulk "for the greater part of the day. Last evening you endeavored to per­ suade me to slip quietly away from the company it was my duty to entertain, to wander with you over the damp grass in thin boots* at the imminent risk of a sore throat; and this morning, with sab- 4»V*of vaollir ijrtAA TOTI UUiC 00£5lUtUitAJ credit, you ask me to bundle off my guests as brusquely and unceremonious­ ly as possible, and with auntie and your amiable self take a flying cruise on your yacht. How modest, how unas­ suming, how considerate of others! How impressed with the. demands of etiquette and proper politeness to our visitors!" ««Perdition take the visitors! "How refined and gentlemanly his years of absence have made Mr. Arnold!" " I beg your pardon, Nelly; that slipped out accidentally. I see what a fool I have been to imagine that a young lady in modern society would re­ tain the affection she perhaps once feebly felt during the absence of her betrothed; and how absurd it is in me to ask opportunities for the old friendly converse, the old interchange of thought and feeling, the old days of love and interest in each other. There was a time when the prospect of a cruise on the Titania would have elicited at least expressions of delight. But the dream has ended ; I have been awakened." "Don't be absurd. Frank,"said she, a little softer and with a slight mist in her eyes, which in his blindness he did not see, as he arose and stood before the windaw. " We are not the girl and boy we were then, seeing nothing beyond each other, sailing about in an enchant­ ed sea, and drinking deep draughts of nectar, with no thoughts of the mor­ row. Very delightful it all was, I will own ; but you must remember we have now our duties to society to perform. I have social claims now that 1 had not then, and which to avoid would argue myself ill-bred. You have come back expecting everything at once to run in its old groove, "and in your hot impetu­ osity Tanking no allowance for added years and changed circumstances. It is you who is unjust, ungrateful, cruel. But what can one expect from a man ¥ They are all alike--everything must yield to their selfish egotism ; and if anything does happen to cross their humor, if we cannot yield them every­ thing they desire, straightway, for­ sooth, they become children, fly into a passion, inveigh against everybody, and finally go off in a fit of the sulks. ' "The tongues of mockiBg wenches are keen as is the razor's edge invisi­ ble," he murmured, sotto voce, then add­ ing aloud, "Mr. Frank Arnold's com­ pliments to Miss Elinor Durand, and his thanks, both on behalf of his sex and himself, for her very flattering opinion. And if Miss Durand has finished, and can spare the time, and if the heat is not too oppressive, and if there be positively nothing she thinks she must do, and if her attention to her guests can allow of a few moments more relaxation, Mr. Ar­ nold would like to address her." " Mr. Arnold has liberty t® use Miss Durand's time as he pleases." He turned from the window and stood before'her. She looked up lazily, try­ ing to appear nonchalant, but raging inwardly. He bioke forth fiercely: " Nelly, three years ago, when I was but a boy and you a bright, fresh, inno­ cent, iuvely girl, }ou «on wJaat there •was to win of my heart, and you loved me in return. There were then no de­ ceit, no bowing to fashion, no yielding to the heartless dictates of society; and when, after weeks of close intimacy, I told you I loved you, asked y ou to share my life, laid my heart at your feet, and urged you to return my affection, there was no hesitation, no coquetry in you. You didn't stop to think of prudence, of wbat Mrs. Grundy might say; but straight from the heart came the answer you could not utter, but spoken by your truthful eyes. We, a boy of 20 and girl of 17, became engaged. Then followed some weeks of enchant­ ment and delight, marred only by occa­ sional exhibitions of your willful obsti­ nacy. Over this, we had one or two quarrels; but you were kinder in those days, and we loved each other, and, some­ how, they were reconciled. Then we had to part, and for three years we have talked to each other only on paper. And how those letters have cheered and en­ couraged and helped me! For you I have striven : for you I have become what I am. Your bright image has been ever before meyour memory has kept me pure in the midst of every tempta­ tion. Whatever success I may have had is entirely due to your influence. Your letters were like your old self, willful at times, but, on the whole, sweet and de­ lightful. They gave me no hint of the change I was to find. I returned home with my heart swelling with pride and love ; I came to you the very first mo­ ment, expecting to find my old, loving, fresh, bright Nell, and what do I find ? Imagine my bitter disappointment when, instead of what I had fondly hoped for, I see a cold, polished, fashionable wo­ man of the world, plunged and absorbed in the exciting whirl of society--nothing left of the old, playful, impetuous, inno­ cent girl who won me--seeming to care nothing of me nor my desires, should they happen to conflict with the demands of society; worshiping fashion first, wid placing everything in her affections before the man she truly loved. It is bitter awakening! My belief in human nature is shattered. I think we had bet­ ter part: we can never make othor happy--our tastes, our ideas, our re­ quirements are too different. What pleases me feaost is your lete noir; and of all things, a fashionable existence is the most distasteful. Oh, my darling, my darling! Why is it so ? Why are you not the fresh girl of 17 ? Why did lever leave you ? But, alas ! what is the use of complaining ? We are what we are, and it is useless to mourn ?" And the strong man dropped back in the chair, with a dry sob in his throat. Her face bad grown very pale, her eyes had lost their mocking expression, and she seemed transformed from the lazy, nonchalant, exasperating creature of a few moments before, who had drawled out her words with such insuf­ ferable accent. She sat upright with her eyes fixed before her, her hands clasped in her lap, and began in low, quiet tones, yet with an undercur­ rent of passion: " Frank, you are not just--you are not fair. You are bitter, and say things you will some day repent. Since you nave called up the past, let me do so als®--let me, perhaps, explain much that to you seems wrong, and then, after you have patiently heard me--then, if it seems to both of us that we had better part--why, then, we can bid each other good-by at least, with a faint smile, in a quiet, tmtragic *--and drift apart. The world is large enough for both to live in,without bitterness. Don't interrupt me, please; let me tell my story in my own way. You know you say I'm willful, so yield to me. Three years ago, when we--when we knew each other, I was, as you say, a fresh, inno­ cent girl of IT. You were my first love, my first hero; on you I poured the whole wealth of a young heart. I lived in heaven when you were with me, and that summer was a long dream of de­ light, an idyllic poem, a bit of Ma­ homet's paradise. We had faults, as you say. If I was obstinate, you ware impetuous, exacting, jumping hastily into conclusions--a fiery, uncontrollable boy ; but, with it all, so loving, so ten­ der ! And then we really tried to soften the asperities in our cliaracters, to be­ come like unto each other, to under­ stand and condone each other's fa; and weaknesses, and to help each otl to be better. Ah! we were enthusiasts in those days; we dreamed of love in a cottage, of a Utopia in which we would live a perfect life. Well, you had to leave me, and I settled down from romance to the prosaio business of life, cheered only be odr frequent letters. I was very happy for a while--I think I remained about the same girl you left me--and then--and then--you know my mother died." " Poor little Nelly!" Was it a rhis- per ? He had not moved, and she did not look at him. " Well, after those weeks of gloom I came to live with auntie, and then began another kind of life. She was one of the leaders in fashionable society, and I was forced into it. Of course the first year was quiet; but then I was caught in the vortex, and at first I was intoxi­ cated. We went everywhere; night after night I spent in rounds of fashion­ able dissipation; I became a fashiona­ ble butterfly, with no higher thoughts or aspiratious--except when I thought of you--than dresses, jewels, balls, parties and operas. I had a feel­ ing you would not altogether approve of it, and so said nothing in my letters. After a while it palled upon me, and I became surfeited ; but still I must keep it up--when you have once commenced, there is no escape, no chance to stop., Aunt enjoyed it to the uttermost. She found the care and superintendence of the house more than she could under­ take, and still live up to the demands of fashion. So, gradually, I became almost the lady of the house. She resigned all details to me, and hence it is I am charged with all the care, the amusement and entertainment of the guests. Be­ lieve me or not, the artificial life has grown very wearisome to me. But que voulez-vousf I have had to live it, and it has changed me, apparently, a great deal. I have never felt it so much as while you were talking. But I do not believe my mind or my heart has been warped by it You do not like my. manner, and you judge of me by my su­ perficial appearance. We meet almost as strangers. Three years of absence, just at the most critical period of our lives, has had the effect of making new people of us, and we have not yet had time to get acquainted. We should learn again, as we once did, to bearand for­ bear. We have both of UE EJECTED to find our old frienJs, and we have both been disappointed. But shall thin part us ? Shall all those old vows be as though unspoken? Shall three years' devotion to an ideal go for naught ? Have we drifted so far asunder we can never be reunited ? Are we each »h, out our destinies alone and apart! dear! what shall it be ? Shall we say good-by ? Can we have ne charity for each other's failings? Has tne past taught us no lesson ?" She paused, and then for the first time looked at him. He rose and paced slow­ ly across the room. "I'm waiting, dear," she said. He turned toward her; she rose, and they looked in each other's eyes. The next moment she had glided across the room, and was sobbing on his breast. What had die seen in his face ? Pity, repentance, self-condemnation, hope, and, above all, a great yearning love shining through all. " My poor little girl," he tenderly said, "what a brute I have been--how cross, unmannerly, boorish ! But I have been long from ladies' society and I have much to learn. Will you forgive, and teach me ? We will learn charity and forbearance together, and we will yet have our Utopian home!" " Oh, Frank! you are too good--too good to me!" " Hush, my darling!" he said. And when, an hour or so afterward, the people returned,; from their ride, they found Nelly still demurely embroi­ dering in the morning-room, while Frank was composedly reading a volume of poetry upside down. Mrs. Durand's eyes were very sharp, and she cried : " Have you named the day, yon two humbugs?" " The 21st of October," whispered Nell, with a happy blush. THK Dartmouth College Sophom ores and Freshmen have been having "rush," and the Freshmen appear to have been viotorioust A SIBAMiE OCCURRENCE. mktiiiK with a Wild Boar-Narww b- cape fcpom Death. [From the Davenport (Iowa) Gazette.] The premises of Mrs. Mary Burns, on the south side of Locust street, nearly opposite Chestnut street, were the scene of occurrences, yesterday afternoon, the account of which w enough to give one the chills. It was about half-past 4 o'clock when Dr. B. F. Baker called at the house of Mrs. Burns to attend her son Ned, aged 7 years, who had been at­ tacked and severely injured by a fero­ cious boar. The beast had wandered into the yard from somewhere, and when the child attempted to drive it out it turned upon the boy, knocked bim down and put its tusks into his face, arms and legs, rolled him over and over and bruised him from head to foot. The boy's screams brought his mother to the door, and, nearly frantic, she went to the rescue of the child. Why the boar ran off when she approached she doesn't know; but it did leave the child, and she carried him to the house and sent for the doctor. This is chap­ ter one of the fearful story. . Chapter two is more shocking still. Mrs. Burns thought ef her other chil­ dren, who weuld soon return from school, and made another attempt to drive the beast away, but soon retreated to the house. Then her little girl en­ tered the yard ; the boar rushed for her, and she fled. By this time the doctor was ready to leave. As he went out of the front door Mrs. Burns made an­ other effort to expel the brute. The doctor saw her after he was seated in his buggy, and returned to assist her. He went to stoning the boar, which turned and rushed for him. The doc­ tor picked up a ball-club, and made up his mind to let the beast come, to jump aside, and to strike it across the head as it passed. He struck the beast as it confronted him, but the blow fell upon its neck and shoulders and failed to halt it for a second, and it seized his left knee, threw him down, and then went at him with the fury of a mad­ dened tiger. It put its tusks through his left forearm, through the inner part of his right thigh, inflicted several lighter wounds, and tore his clothes to ribbons. He was utterly powerless, so quick was the boar in its movements. When he attempted to rise it would dart at him, knock him down and " root" at him with furious strength. The woman looked on in terror. At last the doctor managed to get on his feet, seize the club again, and give the boar a terrific blow across the snout, at which it turned and walked off with a squeal and a grunt. The doctor has­ tened to his buggy and drove to his home, No. 629 Iowa street, a full mile from the place of the conflict. Before he arrived there, however, he was suf­ fering intensely. He summoned medi­ cal assistance, and his wounds were at­ tended to. The one in the knee caused terrible pain, the tusk having pene­ trated the bone. Susie Loosey's Adventure. The New York Express relates this incident: "Mrs. Van Buskirk, wife of James Van Buskirk, of Bayonne, while sitting at a window looking through a glass at the terrible storm raging on the bay on Sunday evening last, saw a skiff adrift near Bobbins' reef light, with a little gill sitting alone in the stern of the frail craft. Mrs. Van Buskirk in­ formed her husband, and, without a mo­ ment's delay, he with his brother Henry leaped into a boat, and, although the wind was blowing a gale and the rain pouring in torrents, pulled manfully for the distant skiff. It was nearly an hour before they reached the little one, and found her exhausted from fright and ex­ posure. She was completely drenched, and the boat was half filled with water. She said her name was Sasie Loosey, her age 7 years, and she lived at Stapleton, Staten Island. She had gone down on the shore in the morning to play with some companions, and while in a boat they playfully pushed her out. The strong wind and heavy sea carried her rapidly from the shore, and her fright­ ened companions ran away." Price of Clothing. Leading clothing men think they have reached hard pan prices at last and ex­ press themselves as -feeling better and safer than for some time past. They say that they are selling better goods at the present time than they sold for the same money before the war. The hard times have had another effect than to reduce the price of clothing. They have re suited in a verv marked improvement in the quality of woolen fabrics of Ameri­ can manufacture. When thousands of young men who had been in the habit of buying suits made up of imported goods were obliged by the exigencies of the times to content themselves with ar­ ticles of home manufacture, the cloth makers exerted themselves to turn out a fine quality of cloths and cassimeres, and the result is a better article of home manufacture than has heretofore been made; which will prove a benefit to both buyer and seller. Indians as soldiers. Would the Indian make a good recruit for the army ? Capt. C. E. S. McDon­ ald, a Scotch resident of California, asked himself this question, and then suggested to the War Department that it should empower him to train several hundred Indians, promising to demand no pay for furnishing an excellent regi­ ment within three months. The proffer was declined. McDonald was, apparent­ ly, not discouraged by the rebuff. He has recently been giving exhibitions in London, Eng., with eight Indians trained to execute military evolutions, and tells bis audiences that he has 200 more on the plains who are equally well trained. The English newspapers state that the evolutions are executed in thoroughly soldier-like style, and suggest that " in­ stead of being incapable and useless, these men might be rendered as service­ able to America as the Algerians were to France or the Sepoys to England."

A CRYSTAL 8A1LON, Wherein Are Grouped Figures of Con- smnmate Taste and Beoutfi From The Chicago Timet, Sept. 2L The great waves of travel are soifing tbrmgtt Chicago, as the flood of vieiten Oen- tennialward reaches the climax of its flow. It is pleaaant to note that a generous proportion of all the travelers, whether rnshing toward or ebbing back from Philadelphia, take the time to make the tour of our Chicago Exposition. Pleaaanter still Is the fact (hat only good words in behalf of the display down by the l«ks shore srs iiwu "roui »*< siuli vmmIges. The grand exhibit at Fairmoant Park presents the condensed richness of the whole world, while the showing here claims modestly to represent only As capabilities of the West Yet we have our points of supremacy, and oddly enough they come in just where, at first thought, one would hardly haw looked to see as excel. Think, for instanoe, ef the great phtseof prt involved in the designing and finishing of femi­ nine attire. Think of French predominance in this line ; of the fact thM Paris is the conceded fount of every blessing, from whence flows all that is new and autocratic in modes, and then think that French fMillion* have a peculiarly conspicuous showing at the Centennial. After remembering all this, is it not * matter to make even dnll rasaculinity tingle with wonder­ ment and pride to know that the Chicago Expo­ sition presents an exhibit, of toiler, and dress go<xls considerably more elegant than is made by any single exhibitor at Philaflelphla ? •jLhe writer, a dweller for three months dar­ ing the summer in the Centennial city, and an ahncst daily visitor to fhe swsembied contribu­ tions of nation*, took a tarn through the less pretentious display in Chicago early the present week. It was a revelation to discover in the spacious and airy crysta! apartment, blazoned with the name of Charles Ooesage & Co., was grouped a more comprehensive, varied and beautiful showing of ladies' costumes and dress material than could be remembered in connec­ tion with an exhibit at the great Philadelphia bazar. Knowing the facility with which indi­ vidual judgment is apt to tumble into unoon- eciona error, the writer took pains to fortify the opinion thus formed by obtaining the ideas! of lady friends, urt connoisseurs and others who had wandered through the corridors of the greater Exposition. There was solid comfort in recording an unvarying verdict m behalf of home sovereignty. Within the charming precincts of this Chica­ go lxmdoir may be counted some 20 complete toilets. These embrace every variety of cos­ tume, from the rich and substantial promenade suits for fall and winter wear, to dazzling evening robes fit to grace the salon of an Em­ press. Robes for the home, for the opera, for the soiree and for the altar are shown, each complete, distinct and supremely artistic. In richness of material, elaboration of trimming, classical design and finish, harmony of colors, and that final indescribable something summed up in the word "style," there are at least half a dozeu full-dress toilets in this enchanting glass house of Gossage & Go.'a which the visitor to Phila lelphia's display will vainly searoh to equal. Batter than all, there is a culture and ' refinement shining in every fold, every detail of ornamentation in these costumes which commend them to the unerring instinct of womankind as robes in which a lady would fssl herself more of a lady than ever. $80 a month, hotel and tramftnjt,»ip»ni-- paid for («lmmen No peddlin*.

The noble display, which, we learn, is to be supplemented on the 27th inst. by a tatill larger and finer one at their own establishment, is hereby commended, in all sincerity, to every lover of true art and famtlesB costuming so­ journing permanently or temporarily in Chi­ cago. .
