“ Good evening, Mies Deoarre." 
“Good evening, Mr. Heartlet.” 
“It was so late that I scarcely hoped for the 
pleasure of meeting you this evening. Shall we 
walk?” 
She would not indirectly compromise herself 
by refusing, and so took the course she would 
with the merest acquaintance. They promenaded 
the rooms and conversed on the most severely 
common-place topics. Another dance was about 
to begin. He led her out on the floor. After its 
conclusion they departed from the crowd, and 
made their way out upon the large piazza. They 
walked back and forth some time. 
“What a relief to get here in the evening 
breeze, away from the hot crowd,” said Gil¬ 
bert. 
“ Yes, company has not many charms for me, 
or at least such a grand, brilliant affair as this,” 
replied Amt. 
"The association of human beings with each 
other is the ground work of al! society,” said 
Gilbert. 
“ Yes, but different people have different ideas 
in regard to the manner of association.” 
“ True, but do you not admit that such assem¬ 
blages as these are one of the principal means 
of advancing society?” 
“Certainly, and 1 do uot mean to set up my 
like or dislike of a thing as a standard of its 
merit. When I said I did not enjoy these bril¬ 
liant affairs, I did not mean to disparage them.” 
“Your position is very well explained, and 
since that is the case, suppose we change the 
subject. I hear singing in the parlor; who is it?” 
“ Your friend, Miss Arlington.” 
“Not particularly my friend, but she sings 
beautifully.” 
“Oh, yes.” 
“But not from the heart.” 
“Do you think so?” 
“I know so. Does her singing touch any 
tender chord in your heart — arouse any pleas¬ 
ant feelings ?” 
“Perhaps not.” 
“All I can see to admire is a certain clearness 
of voice and smoothness of execution; which, 
although they may have the power to soothe the 
ear, cannot comfort the heart. Let us go in. I 
hope to have the pleasure of hearing you sing 
soon.” 
They passed in among a laughing, talking, 
noisy crowd, which effectually put a stop to 
their conversation. 
“Oh, Miss Decaf.re, yon must sing for us,” 
exclamed two or three, as she entered. 
“ Oh, do, Any 1” said another. 
“ Certainly, Miss Decarre, I think I have 
done my share, and we should be delighted to 
hear from you;’’ said Miss Arlington, vacating 
her position. 
Amt modestly took her seat at the piuno, and 
suDg one of those beautiful and soul-thrilling 
Scotch ballade, which have ever been a theme of 
praise. It wa6 snug with a clear, steady voice, 
and won showers of a Clause. Amt declined 
singing any more, nnA'Iileading indisposition, 
declared her intention Ta go home. Gilbert 
eagerly offered his servic X as an escort, and they 
had made good use of them. Particularly had 
she made an onslaught on Gilbert Heartlet, 
and apparently with some degree of success. He 
had hong over her while singing, danced with 
her, talked with her, and cruelly neglected poor 
Amt, as it seemed to her. 
There was to be another soiree to-night at the 
house of Lawyer Curtis, and it was expected 
that | Miss Armstrong, Amt and Gilbert 
Heartlet would be present; the first as a 
matter of courtesy, and the latter two as a 
matter of course. Amt had been revolving in 
her mind all day whether she should go or not. 
Jealousy and sorrow said “stay at home,” 
while pride, love, hope and a spirit of resolution 
said “go!” 
At the visit 01 the School Commissioners yes¬ 
terday. Gilbert had conducted himself in a 
manner becoming a member of that august 
body, and only on departing had ventured to 
press Amt’s hand and give her a look of more 
than official regard. Upon this and other cir¬ 
cumstances related to it Amt's thoughts dwelt. 
The time for the dismissal of school came and 
found her still undecided. 
The sun laughs through, piercing the blue, 
And cleaving tbe red clond's heart; 
Up from the com in the sweet Jone morn, 
The larks by twenties start. 
The wheat's green sea rolls wide and free 
For many a pleasant mile, 
As row by row the mowers go, 
On every face a smile. 
Each corn-flower blue wears a jewel of dew, 
And over tbe bright green sea, 
The poppies on high their red flags fly, 
Ail fluttering in their glee. 
The stalks between, bright flashing, keen, 
Sweeps on each glittering Ecythe; 
Of the sorrel red, and the thistle head, 
They take a royal tithe. 
Bnt when the noon, no whit too soon. 
Comes with its lessening shadow, 
They sit and laugh, and joke and quaff, 
Under the oak in the meadow. 
Then when sun sets, and cold dew wets 
The tawny hills of hay. 
Homeward they go, and tbe after-glow 
Greets them upon their way. 
COLLINS' COMBINED CLOVER THRASHER, HULLER AND CLEANER 
As the clover harvest is near at hand we lay 
before our readers a cut of “ Collins’ Combined 
Clover Thrasher, Huller and Cleaner,” which 
was for many years manufactured by the late 
Josii ‘0 Hall of this city. This machine will 
thrash, hull and clean in one operation, and is 
represented to be the simplest machine made 
for the purpose,— and will, with crop well filled 
and harvested in good condition, turn out fit 
for market from fifteen to fifty bushels per day, 
if properly managed. 
The Executors of Mr. Hall’s estate, Messrs. 
F. W. Glbn and M. E, Hoi.ton, will continue 
to supply these machines, and parties requiring 
further information can obtain it by addressing 
them at Rochester, N. Y. Circulars and price 
lists furnished upon application as above, or to 
J. W. Hooker, Agent, at Detroit, Michigan. 
Lawyer Curtis’ parlors were brilliantly light¬ 
ed, the guests who had arrived were already 
engaged in lively conversation, and others were 
thronging in. Miss Arlington stood, sur¬ 
rounded by an admiring throng, emitting bril¬ 
liant sallies of wit, and giring wide scope to her 
conversational powers. She seemed determined 
to astonish the country people amoDg whom she 
was visiting, and succeeded, at least in a meas¬ 
ure. The conversation turned upon music, 
painting, sculpture, fashion, and other kin¬ 
dred topics, in all of which Miss Arlington 
seemed to be lnlly at home. She charmed all, 
and eager were the young men to obtain one of 
her languishing smiles or melting glances. At 
last the daucing began. Mr. Gilbert Heart- 
let led Miss Arlington out upon the floor, and 
the two graceful figures were soon a general 
theme for admiration. 
“ How graceful!” said one. 
“ How wdl they appear together!” 
“What a good match they would make.” 
“Yes, and if I were disposed to prophesy, I 
should say what a good match they wili make,” 
chimed in another. 
“ Appearances certainly tend that way,” re¬ 
marked another. 
“ Yes, and I think it is a perfect shame. Poor 
Amt —” 
At this moment, the dance having conclnd ed, 
the subjects of the remarks passed along arm in 
arm. Gilbert Heartlet seated his fair part¬ 
ner, and stood fanning her. With highly col¬ 
ored cheeks, eyes brilliant with excitement and 
sparkling with pleasure, she was certainly an 
object to be admired. 
“Let ns move to that window,” said she, 
“those curtains waving with the breeze look 
tempting.” 
They moved behind the rich lace curtains, and 
enjoyed the slightly stirring wind which played 
among the shrubbery. The moon was half-way 
between the horizon and zenith. It was rising 
in all its glory. 
“The queen of night shines brilliantly on us 
mortals here below,” remarked Gilbert. 
“It always reminds one of peace, as it ap¬ 
pears now. Do yon not think so?” said Miss 
Abli ngton. 
“What kind of peace do you mean?” said 
Gilbert; “that word suggests many different 
ideas.” 
“lean hardly tell 
feet rest, perhaps.” 
“You do not get my idea. Let me explain 
myself. There is a peace which implies freedom 
from care, satisfaction with surrounding things, 
and, to use a plain term, apathy. There is an¬ 
other which consists in solitude, repose, liberty 
to allow the thoughts their wildest flights ot 
fancy. This does not imply contentment or 
apathy, but gives the most troubled soul oppor¬ 
tunity to dwell on sad and disturbing thoughts. 
There is yet another peace that is more difficult 
to describe. It is a sort of a trance-like spell, 
which some influence seems to cast over one. 
Gazing on the moon then, it seems to have lost 
Its identity as a moon, and to fascinate by a 
wierd, personal influence, as it looks down upon 
us from the clear sky. Perhaps this is what 
you refer to.” 
“ Not exactly, yet it comes so near the de¬ 
scription that it can scarcely be said to be differ¬ 
ent. I cannot describe it any better myself. 
But there is' a small cloud casting its shadow 
down. Perhaps we had better change the 
subject.” 
“Another set is forming. Do you wish to 
dance?” 
“ Not this time. How late Miss Decarre is.” 
“I have not seen her this evening.” 
“ She is just entering the room. See, on the 
arm of our hostess. What a beautiful girl she

AMY DECAERE 
“ Size is of no Account.”— A gifted African 
of the boot-black persuasion, while danciDglike 
St. Vitus over a customer’s boots the other day, 
observed his partner poring wisely over a news¬ 
paper, whereupon the following colloquy en¬ 
sued; 
First member of the firm—“Julius, what 
you lookiu’ at that paper for ? you can’t read.” 
Second member—“Go way, fellah; guess I 
can read; I’se big enough for dat.” 
First member—“Dat ain’t nuffin. A cow’s 
big enough to catch a mice, but she can’t do it.” 
BT TIMOTHY, 
Amt Decarre sat in her school-room. What 
a wee bit of a thing she seemed lor the heavy 
responsibilities resting upon her. She appeared 
too fragile, almost, to take care of herself, let 
alone the great, rough, unsophisticated fellows 
she had to manage. But within that frail form, 
were a heart and a mind capable of accomplish¬ 
ing and enduring much in the fighting of life's 
battles. 
As the scholars came in one by one, they 
offered her a respectful salutation or a cheerful 
word of greeting. Awkwardly nodded the 
lumbering farmer boys, trustingly smiled the 
trudging little ones, each receiving a kind 
glance or a ebeerlul word in reply. 
When Amt Decarre, at seventeen years of 
age, had assumed charge of the school, Bhe had 
found it an Incongruous mass of disorder, inso¬ 
lence and ignorance. But every human heart 
has its tender spot, and she possessed the happy 
faculty of finding it out easily. The pride of the 
elder boy6 had been touched and their sense of 
gallantry awakened, which method proved far 
more effectual than the storms and blows of 
bnll-dog schoolmasters. The love and confi¬ 
dence of the little ones had been won ; and this 
was much more efficient than the usual “reign 
of terror ” to which they had been subjected. 
If there were a few refractory characters, they 
were the exception and not the rule, and gene¬ 
rally conducted themselves within the range of 
decorum: since the malignant elements of hu¬ 
manity must generally have the majority on 
their side to operate with any degree of success. 
Amt Dbcajibe had always made it a point to 
look on the bright side of things, and make the 
best of the circumstances into which she was 
thrown. Left an orphan at an early age, she had 
lived under the care ol a maiden aunt, and edu¬ 
cated herself for teaching. This was her second 
term’s experience, and she had become fairly 
installed in her work. 
But why is that absent look on her face to¬ 
day? Why 16 she to listless in regard to the 
affkirs of the 6ch«>ol-room ? Way do the schol¬ 
ars look curiously up, now and then ? Why 
does that geography class make so many mis¬ 
takes, unnoticed ? Ah! Amt, with all yonr true 
worth, with all your nobleness, with all that 
energy of character that has carried yon so far 
through life, you are yet human, aDd subject to 
human weaknesses. 
The Commissioners visited the school yester¬ 
day. There wer£ Squire Brown, Squire Cocrt- 
vet, and the young lawyer, Mr. Gilbert Heart- 
let. Is the form of the latter before yonr eyes? 
Is his manly face in your thoughts ? Does his 
parting smile haunt yon ? We fear so. 
Gilbert Heartlet was one of the School 
Commissioners. It was not through him that 
Amt had obtained her situation, although when 
she arrived in the town he had been awaiting 
her arrival in the stage coach at the village inn. 
“ Is this Miss Decarre ?” 
“ Are you one of the School Commissioners ?” 
“Yes.” 
“I am Mi6s Decarre.” 
“Please to come thiB way. I will attend to 
your baggage.” 
He led her to an open carriage that stood a 
little way off, and drove her to the boarding 
place which had been provided for her. Her 
trunk was carried in, and she was soon comfort¬ 
ably established and in lively conversation with 
the talkative landlady. She entered on her 
school duties next day. A young and beautiful 
lady like herself could not long remain in such a 
village without being known, by sight at least, 
to every inhabitant. She created quite a sensa¬ 
tion, and was soon an established guest at oil 
the sociables and parties given. At several of 
these affairs she Lad met Gilbert Heartlet, 
and although she listened with indifference to 
the compliments and flatteries of the gallant 
beaux who were ever present, the words of 
the young lawyer always sent a thrill through 
her heart ; and it was with thoughts dwelling on 
him that she retired on those nights. And he 
was not the less Indifferent to her sweet charms 
and delicate beauty. At least so thought she, 
and so said the gossips. 
There was a party three evenings ago at Squire 
Armstrong’s, and as usual Amt was invited. 
The party was given in honor of the beautiful ] 
Miss Arlington, a relative of Mrs. Amsthong, I 
who had lately come to pay than a visit. She 
had all the arts and charms of a citv belle, and

“Yes,” was all the reply Gilbert made. 
“But so young and Inexperienced, I should 
judge. What a pity, too, that she has to teach 
school. I wonder that she is admitted into

“True worth makes its way in spite of con¬

“Is Miss Decarre so very worthy ?” 
“ And besides, we are not so particular as you

At this moment Mrs. Curtis, the hostess,

“ Allow me to interrupt your private conver
