"Stacy's Gal."

THE colonel, I think, was the first person to propose to her. He did it in the oratorical style for which he was noted in the camp, and was refused—much to his own and the boys' astonishment. I believe the judge was the next, but, as he had fortified his courage with a large quantity of whisky, his breath wa3 strong enough and his words thick enough to insure speedy rejection. He was considerably mortified at it, and never able to explain the cause of his defeat, but whenaMexican woman drifted into the camp shortly afterward and en gaged in washing for the men, the judge ttied his hand agaiu and was accepted. It took him a month to get loose from the bonds, and he swore lie would "never give any other female critter a chance to hook him again," and he carefully avoided all Indian squaws and homely senoritu", who occasionally passed through Mineral City. After the judge, a dozen or more of the boys offered their hands and fortunes to " Stacy's gal," and tared in precisely the same manner, while old Stacy himself quietly chuckled and "bet on hi. gal every trip,"as he afterward explained. She had come iuto camp a week or two previously, to the greatest .urpriso of every body, including her father. Old Stacy, a good many years before—sonic eight or ten —had lost his wife, and so great was his grief that he could noo be induced to remain longer in the place she had made a little heaven lor him. So he placed his daughter —his only child—in the fashionable female seminary of the State, provided her with everything that was necessary for her com fort or happiness, and then stiuck out lor the San Juan silver mines to forget his less among the excitements and privations of the frontier. Stacy was one of the fortunate few out of the unlucky many that enter a mining country, and iv a few years he was possessed ot properties yielding him an ex cellent income from their hard, white quartz llereguliuly cone-ponded with his daughter, and kept her supplied in pocket money farm excess of her nectls or requiiements, but he never went back on a visit, and when that young lady was duly graduated with high honours she determined to seek out her long absent paternal progenitor. With indepen dence and courage, the wonderment of the boys, she travelled across the plains, took passage on the stages, and finally rode to the Mineral City on horseback, the firs! white woman in camp and the object of the shy adoration of the men. It was some time Oi-fore the boys could staud their giound and face her, instead of scampering away at her approach, as had hitherto been the case ; but the Western miner U not long iv getting accustomed to strange things, _nd it was not over ten days after her arrival that the colonel immolated himself on the altar of Ins affections. En couraged by his example «nd untcirified b. his unceremonious defeat, the boys one after another tried their luck, though, as I have before mentioned, with no better success. Stacy was a partner of mine in the Ajax mine, in which there were three of as in terested, and as we were doing considerable development on the vein I was of neces sity much in his company and conse quently in that of his daughter. She was a very pretty girl, with dainty, delicate ways far m>re belitiing a house en Walnut street than a rough mining camp ; but she loved her father with an earnest, clinging affection that would not listen to her leav ing him, and so she continued to reign queeu of Mineral City all through the sum mer of 1876. I don't know when it was that I was un duly alt-acted towards Nellie. I think it was when she asked me to call her there after by that name. ;She made the request so innocently, so sweetly, and so tenderly, alleging that as I was her father's partner a gentleman by birth and education, and such a kind friend to her, it would be ever so much nicer for me lo say Nellie, instead of Miss Stacy, which sounded so formal, that I came very near adding other words to the name that ourshott acquaintance would not justify. After that I spent most of my evenings with Nellie, and sometimes of an afternoon we took delicious little rambles together on the mountain Bides, and into the heavy timber lining the valley or canyon oi the Uncompahgre. One evening, as we were returning home, we stopped to rest on the iock-crcsted summit of Mineral point. A few hundred feet below us lay the little mining camp, its log cabins looking doubly picturesque in the gatheiinggloaming. The blue smoke was curling from a dozen chimneys as the men prepared their evening meals ; and Here and there, over the various trails, a blue-shirted miner, with pick and drills across his shoulder, came striding home. The sun sinking behind the Wasatch mountains, 105 miles distant, cast great long shadows across the surrounding peaks, and veiled the ravines and gulches in deep ening darkness. Nellie sat on the cropping, of quartz, and I lay strelcbed out at htr feet, watching her pretty, tcndci eyes as they wandered ovri the horizon, diinking in the beauty and the crandeii' of the scene, -die had some light, fleecy arrangement— a nubia I believe it is called—wrapped loosely about her head and shoulders, and her hail, iv whose meshes the sunbeams seemed to have caught, peep-d from beneath, helping to frame a face stamped with innocence and purity. Young people always get sentimental in the evcuiug, when sui rounded by quiet, and 1 was no exception to the rule ; and almost before I knew it I was toying with the little hand, so white and soft, lying carelessly on the llinty quartz. " Nellie," I said, after a few moments " don't you ever long to leave this rough place, aud go back to the East ?" " Not now," she said, slowly, " though I might under some circumstances." " Why not now ?" "Oft, because-- bcciiu-c I don't want lo leave papa." " Is that the r<al reason ?" I asked, her shyness and evident avoidance of my eyes giving me hopes that set my heart beating with quicker pulsations. " Lit us go down," she said, quickly, as she aresc. " No, nit until you answer me," and 1 caught again (he little hand. She drew it ftom my grasp, and, with a saucy " Come," started dowu the trail and I hastened to follow. 1 iinde several attempts to renew the conversation onthewa}, but Nellie always turned it off from the subject nearest my heart ; and yet when I left her at her fathei's door -be shyly extended her hand, and I thought 1 detected a short pres sure as I took it in mine. A moment, and she had vauished, and I noticed a rosy flush on her pretty cheeks aud an unusual light in her tender eyes. I went back to my little cabin with a strange admixture of certainty and doubt in my feelings, ard a quickening of pulse that made me oblivious to my rough surroundings. After supper I lit my pipe and sat upon my roughly-hewn doors'.ep. The sun had gone dowu, but yet there was light enough for me to see her cabin and notice her father standing in the tloor-way chatting with Mineral Bob, the best prospector in camp and the third owucr with Stacy and myself in the Ajax. I turned my head and saw the lights iv theshafthouse of the Big Giant mine on Red mountain gleaming away in the distance ; I heard the clanging blows of the blacksmith at his forge as he sharpened the tools for the morning's work, and the deep boom of the blast in the Little Emily mine came lloating through the still night air. Then my eyes wandered back to the cabin which held Nellie. Bobw as still there, his tall figure and broad shoulders contrast ing greatly with the little old man in the doorway. Wh it was he doing there so long, I thought, anel I puffed my pipe viciously as I saw Nellie a momci't Inter join the two. The night settled dowu and the cabins faded from view, their presence only revealed by the lights shining through the little .quare windows or the sparks streaming out of the stone and mud chimneys. It was getting cool, too, and I knocked the ashes out of my pipe and re-entered mv little home and stirred up the smoldering embers on the hearth. An hour went by, and the moon sent its beams across my little table, with its tin plates and cups; across my earthen and rocky floor, touching lightly my books on a shelf at the head of my bed and rest ing ou the rolled-up coat which served me for a pillow. I turned on my stool and glanced out of the window. Ihe tops of the surrounding timber were silvered by the moonlight, and the cabins stood out against the dark background of the tall spruces. The sound of singing came from the saloon, and the wind sighed fitfully now and then, so 1 fell into a sombre reverie, and Nellie was the centrejabont which all my thoughts revolved. Presently there was a knocking at my door, and at my invitation Mineral Bob euteroJ. " Hello I Philadelphia," he said :" I kinder thought you wasn't in." " Why ?" I asked, rather sorry of the in terruj.tion, though Bod was good company, and no one could look into his merry blue eyes and pleasant face, covered all ever with a luxuriant, rich brown beard, without feel ing better and less out. of sprits. '•' Oh, I sort of calculated you'd be some where around the girl. How's your chances, partner? Good, eh?" " Come in, Bob. and stop your nonsense. Here, fill your pipe and sit down." Bob laughed good-humouredly, and, pull ing up a stool sat down Dear the lire fend as he filled his pipe, said : " Bout the Sunshine, you ku w," alluding to a mine of his and one of the best in the camp. " You know I'm obliged to sink— ain't got no chance to tunnel, and the sur face water is getting the best of me. Must hay. a fpumpj if I want to do anything--; '

this bailing water out by the bucketful when she's coming in near as fast is of no ac count. You know that 1" I nodded assent. " Well, then, Philadelphia," as lie lighted his pipe and gave two or three vigorous puffs, " I want to see what kind of it dicker I can make with you about running ti le mine. I ain't got the money to j^t ~„ engine and pump, though I guess 1 could borrow it, and be-ides I've got to go East on business inside of a week, and I don't want to leave the Sunshine idle— I can't afford it." " Why don't you sell her to old Stacy .' I said. " He's got some ready cash." " But he's going out shortly aud wants to sell his own mines." " Going out—Stacy ?" I demanded wondering why Nellie had never alluded to it. " Yes, going to take that gal of his hack to the states. This ain't no lit place for a pretty little thing like she is, you know." Nellie going to leave camp ! By Jove, that wouldn't do. No if she left I would, too. I shouldn't lose her now that I bad all 'v.t won her, so I said : " I tell you, Boh, I don't know that I shall stay much longer myself. Perhaps you would like to make me an offer for my interest in the Ajax and let me attend to your business in the East, if i can ; I would be very glad to." " _>"o ; much obliged, partner, but no one can do what I am going out for except my self. Same tin-. I might he able to handle my own property better if J had the Ajax too, seeing as how the two claims join each other on the same vein. I wonder if old Stacy would tell out cheap enough ?" " Oh I guess so,'' I said ; " especially if he is at all auxious to get away, I'll speak to him for you." " He said the other day," continued lion as though he were carefully weighing the proposition, " that he'd sell to me on time if I could get a good man to go'my security." " Would he take me do you think?'' " Take you ? A great sight sooner thaa any other man in camp." " Well, then Bob, you give me a mortgage on the mine, and if his figures arc not too high, I'll endorse your note and nun you over my interest besides. The mine is solid yet, 1 guess, though 1 haveu't been to it for a week." " That's the girl's fault," grinned Bob • " but if she wasn't good 1 wouldn't want to buy. I bslieve I'll go down and see the old mau—it won't take long," and Bob buttoned up his coat and started out. Half an hour later Bob returned with the necessary papers by which Stacy conveyed his third interest in the Ajax mine to him for 38,000, payable within thirty days, I indorsed Hob's note tor the amount, he as suring me that if t .c mine continued to pay as it had in the past, he could easily take it up when due, besides which I reasoned to myself that I would soon be Stacy's sou-in law, aud, in case of Bob's failure to meet the note, the old mau would not be hard on me. I also transferred my third interest to Bob for a like amount, and secured myself for both sums by amertgage on the property, and so I went to bed and dreamed of the little wife 1 soon expected ':o have. I saw Nellie the next day, and thbn-h she smiled sweetly and blushed mostprettly 1 wasn't satisfied, as owing to her getting things in readiness for the trip next morn ing there was no opportunity for a quiet little conversation. 1 told Stacy I was going out, and he laughed and said ftellie had spoken of it aud he " didn't know but what it was a scheme for his gal, 'cause it could hardly be expected that me and Brb would be such good company," aud so the matter was settled and I collected my trap 3 together and those I didn't care to take with me, I distributed among the boys. They all knew waat I was going out for, and good natuted witticisms were freely indulged in at my expense. But I liked it, and rather enjoyed my triumphs over the colonel and the judge and the others who had tiled to win the little treasure 1 had carried off, but had miserably failed. I sat in my cabin that evening—the last I should ever spend in Mineral City—and somehow I got terribly blue aud out of spirits. It felt like the parting with old friends. Every Iree and every rock seemed to have a hold on my affections, and the rough logs of my little home had a warm place in my heart. I couldn't shake off my low spirits, and so I went down to see my little one and fi om her sweet face and pretty eyes draw the consolation I felt I needed. 1 found her looking tired from her atrang. ing and packing efforts, but she seemed most glad to see me, and we sat on the doorstep and were soon chatting in a watm confidential way. As I was about to go I lonk her little hand iv my big palm, and said: "Are yon really glad that I am going out with you?" • " You know I am," she said, earnestly, her eyes dropping and her soft little fingers involuntarily pressing mine, and somehow before I fully realized what 1 was doing, I had leaned forward and pressed a hot, pas sionate kiss on her pretty lips, and with a little exclamation expressive of surprise and not of anger, she turned and vanished, I was a happy fellow that night. Our trip was begun the next morning, and in due course of time we all of ns came to a halt in New York. What a delicious time I had of it, and how considerate Bob and Stacy weie to me. They never in truded their presence, but let me have Nellie to myself, as, though they had uo connection whatever with us. 1 felt grate ful to them, and meditated often upon what 1 could do to show- my appreciation of Iheir thoughtftilness and good feeling. Mellie was a little paradox, however— an enigma I couldn't solve. I had proposed to her half a dozen times on our way East, but though she showed that her heart was mine, and permitted me to squeeze her hand, whisper soft nothings and kiss her gocd-night when she retired, she would give me no answer to my pleadings, but kept me oil with a coquetry iv itself most attractive. And so the day spun around, and I seemed to be no nearer than when we left the old mining camp, and I got irritable and out of sorts, and one day Nellie suggested that I had better run on and see my family and get sweetened up a little, and I savagely re plied that I would, and I should not return until she sent for me, etc. etc. She smiled sweetly, and looked tenderly out of her pretty" eyes, and I took the train for Phila delphia in a terrible temper, and yet feeling sure that I would be back again within forty-eight hours, and I was. I asked the clerk to send Tip my card, and be said it would [bo useless, as the lady, with her father and the other gentleman, had left the night before for the South, he thought. They had left a letter for me, however, and—l snatched the letter and tore it open. There were several enclosures, reading a3 follows :— Tiiubsday. My Dear Charley :—You must par don my terrible flirtatitn with you.of the past few weeks, but it was the last I should ever have, and you are the dearest of fellows to finis-h upon. I dare say you will feel a little vexed, but you'll get over it, Charley, ami when r ob and myself get settled down to housekeeping—which I trust will be a long time yet—you must come and see us, and be a good friend to your penitent Nellie. The next was :— My Dear Philadelphia :—You've had a good time with my intended wife aud I haven't interfered ; you indorsed my note for §3,000, and I won't cheat you out of it. I trusted you aud you came to " time ;" you trusted me and here lam smiling. T en close with this my note you endorsed, and deeds conveying to you the whole of the Ajax. She's pinched, Philadelphia, and ain't worth a cuss. You sabe, now, the business that called me East, eh . Ta ta. Mineral Bob. 1 have never seen them since. I don't waut to. 1' went back to the old camp the following year. The boys don't tease me now, but I thrashed two of them, and got thrashed by three, before this silcuce on the subject was observed.

By tho kind invitation of Professor Waller burg and Dr. Grant, the cdiror of this journal, i company with the editor of the Saturday Adve: User, visited their consulting rooms, at tb Criterion Hotel, yesterday morning. The fin case thown was that of a Miss Wnito, ago 1 years, the daughter of a 1 ettic at Oam.ru, wh has b-en total; blind fo, yoius. This youn lady has be-;i under ih 1 treatment of thes cover oculists for thice days, ana wonderful t say, her eyesight has been perfectly restore! 'Ihe father if the girl assured us that ho ha placed her under tho c.re of several mo.io. men v> ho had fail-d to do her ai y good, despit the money he had lavished upon her. '.hones was a cao of Mi.-s Hughes, a Dunedin residen who stated that the had been d.af for a perio ef over three years, -tra-gj to si.y, she ha oniy been under treatment for cigi.t days, an her hearing has been fully restored. Thi fortunate girl is nearly, in ecstacies ovor he good fortune. The net subject under trei ment was a labourer, named Patrick Francii woiking at Lo_uu's Point, who informed us tho latterly he was ttruck in the rigli eye with a .tone, by v, hich ho lost his sigh and of lato Lis left eyo has teen material!; ali'ected by tho blind ene; but, thank* to th skill of ProfessJr Walleiiburg, ho h.s now re covered the. s:ght of his two eyes, and isablo fc riiscern tte smulle.t print.

All tho patients that an now under treatment havo been tampered witl by tho medical profession with no satisfactorj result, and this, iv the major portion of cases causes more aggravation, and makes efiectua cure more elillicult. The. above cases ciearlj illustrate that Dr. Grant and Professor Wal lonburg are, without doubt, what they profess tc bo—Oculists, Aurists, and Specialists. Wc Wetxld strongly recommend those who art either alllicted with blindness or deafness tc onsultthoio gentlemen at ouco, as their stay heio is limited.—Evening Tribiin., Dunedin, September 21th, 1579. Wo can conscientiously recommend those Buffering iroiu ceafness or other ailments that Br.

An instance cameundet our notico on Thursday, in tho case ot a man named Charles Swanson, whohaa been very deal for three j ears, but, alter ten days' trontmenr, can now hear perfectly even the lowest whisper. Tho euro is a rather remarkab c one, as he has boon under tho caro of many medical men, but has received no beLCllt wnatevor from their treatment. "New Zealander," December 27th, 1879.

Ho had only beeu under Dr. Grant's tro.tment ten or eleven days when ho found th_t ho could s.o large objects at tonio distanca.
