XKlntia*, OnaaliMP »U4 T%vr4Uatln0 UNCLE VS. NEPHEW. The belle of the season, at Atlantic City, this year, was Adrienne Vail. A. dark-eyed beauty, with one of those rich, wine-warm \complexions that re- mind, one of Egyptian Cleopatra, lovely red lips, and white arms sparkling with cordons of precious stones and bands erf dead-gold j and in the purple light of the setting sun, as she sat there in Major\ Brabazon*s barouche, with the foam fringes of the sea on one hand, and the yellow sands on the other, sne was as beautiful as a dream! Nor was she unobserved by the stream of gay promenaders along the shore. \ It's a foregone conclusion,\ said old Doctor Pounce. \ She'll marry Brabazon, of course,\ said Mrs. Alleyne. \She'llmarry the richest man who presents himself, no matter who he is,\ observed Captain Dagon, spitefully. \ The Brabazong are a wealthy fami- ly,\ remarked Doctor Pounce. \Not that this young fellow has much of his own, but his uncle, old Barney Brabazon, is the richest planter i n Louisiana, with- out chick or child to inherit his wealth.\ \ You may depend upon it, Miss Vail has taken all that into consideration,\ paid Mrs. Alleyne, with the quiet malice which' one woman often exhibits in speakirig- of other. '' She's the most mercenary creature on the face of the globe.\ Mrs. Alleyne had spoken, if vindic- tively, still truly. Adrienne, with her angel-face and voice of low-toned music, was rather inclined to view mankind through the dollar-and-cent medium. Her face was her fortune. She had been educated by a scheming mother, who, herself pinched and cramped by perpetual want, had resolvea that Adrienne should bring her radiant beau- ty to the best possible market, and thus redeem the low estate of the family for- tunes. Adrienne's girlhood had not been like that of other children; she had tasted poverty, and been trained in the belief that nappiness could only be attained <bj means of a golden spell. '' You must marry, and you must mar- ry rich,\ was the precept which her mother was perpetually dining into her ears—nor was she likely to forget the battle-cry, now that she was on the actual Held of action. \And I suppose,\ said Mrs. Alleyne, biting her lips, as she saw her own red- haired, sanay-complexioned daughter walking without any escort on the beach., \ Brabazon's fool enough to believe that she really loves him forjumself.\ Yes—Brabazon was just such a fool. He was madly in love with the beautSul brunette—he was in a paradise of bliss as long as she sat by his side and smiled on him with those wonderful eyes Of hers—and he firmly believed that, with the magnetism of - true love, she shared his every emotion. They were engaged—that is, subject to old Barnabas Brabazon's approval, for Adrienne knew that her young suit- tor had no patrimony of his own, and she had no mind to risk \ love in a cot- tage\ even for the sake of handsome Allan Brabazon. \ He stands in a father'splace-toyou, Allan,\ she said: \and my standard of filial, duty is high.\ » \ He cannot help admiring you when he •comes,\ declared Allan Brabazon, who had already written to his uncle upon the subject. Old Barnabas arrived at last—ayel- low-skmlied ? bilious-looking man, with iron-^ray hair, rumpled in a crest on the top of his head; and a pair of black eyes that glowed like coals of fire beneath his shaggy pent-houses of brows. His dress was of coarse brown tweed; his boots thick; his hat a flapping Pan- ama, which half concealed his blunt fea- tures^ But. his linen wa» exquisitely fine, buttoned\ witE diamond sparks, and on his finger he wore an emerald ring which represented almost the value of a king's ransom. ' \Well?\ quoth old Barnabas, fixing an inquiring eye on Ms nephew* \'tmcle cried the. young man, en- thusiastically, \she llfan angel.\ \I'uihawa look at her before I make up my •mind dn the subject,\ said Uncle Barnabas. s» t < » He was taken to call on M^ss Vail, and. like mo8fe_oiher gmlfenofenrhe \went do^ra\ at tBelflrst spifrfcjle, of her liquid, dark eyes?*\' \ ^J?'''\' ' \\By Jujrtfter, Allan, you're right, 1 \ said Unole^Barnaba* \ She's the pret- tiest girl I ever saw in. my life^ Sb,tneMyseasontrtBii|;on. ThedeMh of the viois^cornets and trombones, made, musical^nsWer to the diapason of trie waves; pkuoUdo^$ittm^ft)teatdii battered bfiwufc smoJk^theu*cigaw,ilntt strove to rejuvenate theiiWelves once more'V &©/fragrance of^ the sea-ai?; Mdfatw and bouquets; tod newi^* ii^-' correspondents invented all sorts of facts for^the ISter York and Philadelphia daily pressT And as time went by, a rumor obtained credence to the effect that Uncle Barnabas Brabazon was oust- ing his nephew from the affections of the beautiful Miss Vail. \There!\\ said Mrs. Vail, like countenance assuming a radiant ex- pression. \Here it is in. black and white. An otter of marriage! My dear, C 'll be the richest woman south of on and Dixon's line.\ Adrienne, in a lovely dishabille of white cashmere and rose-nink ribbons, sat looking at the letter, with something of dismay upon her countenance. \Write and accept him at once,\ urged Mrs. Vail. \ What! that old man?\ \Old man I\ screamed Mrs. Vail. \The richest planter in Louisiana ! Why, child, every diamond\that he. wears is a fortune in itself.\ \But I don't love him,\ pleaded Adrienne in a low voice, \Lftve^—bah!\ screeted the old lady. \ What does love amount to? A little sugar and honey, a few sweetmeats, and starvation for the rest of your life. I made a love-match—anot see what a drudging career mine has been. Adrien- ne, don't be a fool. You will never have such another chance as this.\ Still Adrienne hesitated. '' Mamma,\ she said, '' I am engaged to Allan; and—I love him. And I will be his wife.\ \But. child; don't you see what ruin that will bring upon us ?\ breathlessly Cried Mrs. Vau. \Allan hasn't a pen- ny of his own, and if he ^offends his uncle—\ '' He can work for a living, mamma, like other men.\ ' \Work-^-work for/a living!\ snarled the old.lady, displaying a set of yellow teeth that would have done credit to a hyena. •*' And you live in a flat, and do up your own laces in the wash-bowl to save the laundress' bill, and turn your, own silk dresses, and darn xour hus- band!s stockings, to.lighten the expenses —you, that have the chance to button^ your gown with diamonds, and live in a palace!\ « , \. And this was the end of Misg Vail's \mercenary\ career. She wrote a re- solute little letter to Mr. Brabazon, while her mother indulged in a good, old-fash- ioned fit of hysteries. The note was worded as follows: be- ap- ' I hke you very much, but I loved Allan lon{ idd I don't. think I can be. fore I ever saw you, an x «««. py with any one but Allan; so, if you please, Mr. Brabazon, I must decline your land offer. And pray—pray'don't be any more angry with me than you con help.\ Mr. Brabazon read the little, tear-stain- ed note, and, folding it grimly up, went across to the hotel where his nephew was staying. \Well fad,\ said he, \I have offer- ed myself—myself, -mind, the richest man in Louisiana^—to Adrienne Vail.\ \Uncle!\ Allan started to his feet, turning alter- nately red and pale. \And she has—refused me.\ The young man was deadly white now. He scarcely knew what he had feared or hoped—he only felt the intense relief of knowing that Adrienne was still true to him. \My own true love!\ he muttered, between his teeth—\my little, dark- eyed jewel. If she had played me false, uncle, I believe I should have been tempted to commit suicide.\ \Umph—numph!\ grunted Uncle Barney. \Love—love! How these young people talk. And what, may I venture to ask,,do you expect to live on ?\ \I can work, Uncle Barney, for 7ier sake,\ said Allan, bravely. \Very well,\ said Uncle Barney. \ Let's go and tell her so.\ Adrienne was looking lovelier than ever, with flushed cheeks, eyes glitter- ing with excitement, and rose-red lips. ''How is this, young woman?\ de- manded Uncle Barnabas. \Every#ae at Atlantic City told me you were a for- tune-hunter. And yet I've offered you a fortune ; and you have up and down declined it.\ \Because I love Allan better than all the gold of California,\ said Adrienne, with drooping eyelashes. \ Come nere andMss me, my dear,\ said UncleBarnabas. '' No, you needn't be afraid—I shall not make love to you any more. I've lived to be sixty years old without marrying, and 1 wouldn't wed the finest woman alive. If you hadn't refused me, I should have run off to the Sandwich Islands to escape matri- mony.\ Adrienne opened her lovely eyes very wide. \ Why, then, did you ask me?\ she said. \Simply my dear, to make certain that you loved Allan for himself alone, not because he was the nephew of his rich uncle. And I'm satisfied now.\ \ I do love him,\ said Adrienne, with tears in her eyes. \And I love you, too, Uncle Barney—only in a different sort of way.\ \i I'm quite satisfied, my dear,\ said Uncle Barnabas^' \ And I shall take it upon myself to see that* neither of you perish of want.\ So Adrienne Vail \ married rich\ af- ter all. Sich not only in money and sugar plantations, but rich in love and trae affection. Happy little Adrienne! A Funeral Sermon.. Out there in Council Bluff, Iowa, la large demonstration «was g<?tton up to celebrate the republican victory of No- vember last. There'were quite a num- ber of speakers announced, some of whom \felt so good\ that they were not in a healthy condition for*rejoiclng. They may have been fa. that condition mentally and physically as described of a man in the strong old republican* state of Massachusetts, who* decided a wager ; in these words, \ (Hie,) No; I'm not a democrat although I may 'er have S§1 the 'pearances of being one.\ At this Council Bluff \meeting it was mentioned by one of\ the speakers that the democratic party was dead, when Mr. L. B. Cake, a young, democrat; mustered sufficient vitality, in response to an invitation to review' the situation from his stand point, and spoke as fol- lows: ~\ FKULQW-CITIZENS :—A man usually attends ms own funeral, but it is-not ex- r scted that he should talk agreat.deal. knew the funeral • ceremonies would go on without me, so I concluded I would bring in the body. [Laughter. ] But it takes a good deal of grace to sustain a man who helps to fur-' nish the corpse for an 'occasion like this. [Laughter.] Nobody but a demo- crat could.do it. It is certain that no one save a democrat has had a chance to try it for the last twenty years.

This year„ we get a splendid send-off and might have won, but the donkey was stricken down in Indiana with (g) Landers. We close this chapter of history with the hope that the story will not be continued in our next.

A New York paper says: The follow- ing story is told by a gentleman whOjjs intimate with President Hayes and President-elect Garfield, and whose personal truthfulness is vouched for by the Cleveeland Herald. In the little village of Bedford, only tWelvte miles distant from Cleveland, there lived, some thirty years ago, two ' charming and attractive girls. To one of \these President Hayes had become an ardent suitor; but the parents ofthe young/latty had Vigorously opposed the <»ur|*hift da ^he ground that young Haves\ 'was poor and gave evidence of hardly' suf- fient ability to wan-ant risking Ih^ir daughter's future. The match Was broken off, and the lady is to day mar- ried and wed \know to CaevelSnd people The other ydung lady had received some attentions from young Garfield, and was well disposed to reciprocate; them. Her parents, however objected to their ihtimaey, giving as the reason of their opposition the poverty of Gas- field and the anything but bright pros pects of his future.
