Il est maintenant reconnu que les Pilules de Brandreth on guéri des milliers de personnes sans espérance et soutien, même quand les premiers médecins les avaient prononcées hors de tout moyen de soulagement. Maintenant il n'est pas seulement reconnu que les Pilules de Brandreth guérissent, mais on comprend aussi comment elles guérissent - par leur effet purifiant sur le sang, ils rétablissent la santé du corps. Ce principe de guérison n'a plus à lutter avec les préjugés aveugles de la plus grande partie du public; ce n'est qu'avec ces quelques personnes qui sont déterminées à "se laisser tuer suivant la régle," comme les peuples d'autrefois qui voulaient avoir un roi pour régner sur eux. Mais grâce à la circulation générale des journaux -- grâce à la diffusion générale des lumières, qui met à même les dix-neuf vingtièmes du peuple de lire et de juger par eux-mêmes -- maintenant nous ne croyons plus à la pratique d'avaler ce poison mortel, le mercure, qui professe de guérir, mais qui nous laisse universellement dans une condition pire après son usage. Nous ne croyons plus à l'ideé absurde que toute espêce d'inflammation pouvait se guérir en soustrayant notre vie -- le sang. On comprend bien maintenant qu'une inflammation est une sage ordonnance de la nature -- un Signal pour indiquer qu'elle demande l'assistance d'une médecine purgative pour la délivrer du fardeau accablant qu'elle démontre par la fièvre intense et le poulx fort, qu'il faut qu'il soit chassé. En un mot, le corps demande une pugation vegetale. Dans tous les cas, ces pilules seront un remède pur et simple, et en même temps tout-puissant pour extirper la maladie soit chroniques ou récente, soit infectante, soit autrement. Elles ne rendent pas le système sujet à être affecté par aucun changement de température. La vraie cause ou l'occasion dans la quelle le corps humain puisse être affecté par les refroidissemens ou les toux, se trouvera écarté par l'emploi des pilules.

The mechanical industry manifested in the construction of iron-clad ships has been severely tested during the year. These results, with the opinions of their commanders, are not overlooked. The improvements in heavy ordnance are also described. The progress of science in its application to useful purposes has been brought up in some branches, and the views and discussions of scientific men in others, are presented. The geographical explorations which have been actively pursued in all quarters, have resulted in some discoveries which have long been sought by brave and enterprising men. The history of the financial operations of the Federal Government from the beginning of the civil war to the close of the year, are described. It embraces the condition of the treasury, the system of finance adopted by the Secretary, the measures recommended by him to Congress, the action of that body and the results, together with tables from the Department which have not before appeared in print. A most thorough and complete classification of the books published during the year, shows that the record of literature is not less important than in any previous year. The notice of the principal religious denominations of the country, states their branches, membership, views on civil affairs, and the spread of their distinctive opinions. The number of distinguished men who closed their career during the year, has been unusually large. A brief tribute has been paid to their characters and services. All important documents, messages, orders, and letters from official persons, are inserted entire. [*LC*]THE AMERICAN ANNUAL CYCLOPAEDIA AND REGISTER OF IMPORTANT EVENTS OF THE YEAR 1863.

NEW YORK: D. APPLETON & COMPANY, 443 & 445 BROADWAY. M.DCCC.LXIV.ENTERED, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1864, by D. APPLETON & COMPANY, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York.PREFACE. IN presenting to the public another volume of the ANNUAL CYCLOPÆDIA, containing the record of the most turbulent year which the country has witness, the publishers trust that it will be found truthful and impartial. No efforts have been spared to secure its completeness and accuracy, and to preserve it free from every mark of partisanship. The year 1863 was a remarkable one. Principles adopted in the previous years had gone into effect, and now manifested their results. Many new and important questions thus came up, and were discussed in Congress, by the press, and before civil tribunals. In Europe, also, similar developments were manifested, and although the conflict of arms was not so extensive or violent as in this country, the agitation of men's minds was no less deep and earnest. In these pages the effort has been made to present the facts of this seething condition, so that the reader may see what steps have been taken in public and social affairs, and how far forward they lean toward any amelioration of mankind. Among the numerous questions discussed were those relating to confiscation, emancipation, indemnity official and pecuniary, the relations of the insurrectionary States to the Union, personal liberty, martial law, prize, the liability of Great Britain for damages done by the Alabama, the reconstruction of the map of Europe, and the reorganization of Germany. A detailed statement of the vast military and naval operations in this country is given, which presents the movements of the armies day by day, and step by step, with the objects of those movements, and their consequences; also the efforts of the Government to improve the condition of the freedmen who came within their control, and to organize the able-bodied soldiers; also the plans and arrangements of its immense hospitals for the sick and wounded. The military operations are illustrated with complete topographical maps of the country. The details of the internal affairs of the country embrace the organization of the armies, North and South; the number and condition of the troops; the important measures and debates in Congress; the acts of State Legislatures,[*Filed Sept 16. 1964*] 24 DUCK ON THE ROCK, OR DUCK-STONE. bounds as before, while the other players try to overtake them, so as to secure the ride. The three now come from the bounds in the same manner, capture or touch a boy, and return. If, while trying to touch the other boys, the players when sallying from the grounds break hands before they touch any one, they may immediately be ridden, if they can be caught before they reach the bounds. Sometimes when three players have been touched the Cock is allowed to join the out party, but this is of no advantage in playing the game. DUCK ON THE ROCK, OR DUCK-STONE. This capital game requires at least three players, but its interest is considerably increased when there are six or eight. A large stone, called "the mammy," having a tolerably flat top, is placed on the ground, and "home" is marked off about twelve feet from it. Each player being provided with a stone about double the size of a base-ball, the game is commenced by pinking for "Duck"--that is, by all standing at the home and throwing their stones or ducks in succession at the mammy. The player whose duck falls or rolls farthest from it becomes Duck, and must place his stone on the top of the mammy. The other players are allowed to take up their ducks and go to the home unmolested, while Duck is placing his stone down; they then throw their ducks, one after the other, at it, and endeavor to knock it off the mammy. Duck must replace his stone whenever it is knocked off, and throwers must pick up their ducks and endeavor to run home while he is so engaged. Should the duck remain on after four or five have thrown at it, the stones much rest where they fell, until some player more skilful than the others knocks off the duck, and so gives the throwers a chance of getting home. If Duck can touch one of the throwers as he is running home with his duck in his hand, the one so touched becomes Duck. When the duck is knocked off by any player, it must be instantly replaced, as Duck cannot touch any one while it is off the mammy. When a thrower's duck falls and lies before the mammy, Duck may touch him if he can, even before he picks up his duck. When Duck succeeds in touching a thrower, he must run to the mammy and quickly remove his duck; if he has time, he should tap the mammy twice with his duck, and call out, "Feign double-duck!" as he may then walk home without fear of being touched by the boy whom he has just made Duck. Should all the players have thrown without being able to knock the duck off, it is frequently proposed by some of them to Duck to take either a "heeler," a "sling," or a "jump" toward home, in order that they may have a chance of reaching it. Duck may refuse or assent to these proposals at his option. The "heeler" is performed by the player kicking his duck backward toward home; the "sling" by placing the duck on the middle of the right foot, and slinging it as far in the direction of home as possible; and the "jump" by placing the duck between the feet, and holding it in that manner while aTHE AMERICAN BOY'S BOOK OF SPORTS AND GAMES: A REPOSITORY OF IN-AND-OUT-DOOR AMUSEMENTS FOR BOYS AND YOUTH.

He moves his head, arms, legs, hands, feet, in various directions, sometimes sneezes, coughs, weeps, laughs, and bellows, all of which the Squad are to imitate. Sometimes this is a most amusing scene, and provokes great laughter. Those who are observed to laugh, however, are immediately ordered to stand out of the line, and when half the number of players are so put out, the others are allowed to ride them three times round the play-ground, while the Drill Sergeant with a knotted handkerchief accelerates their motions. WARNING. This is an excellent game for cold weather. It may be played by any numbers of boys. In playing it "loose bounds" are made near a wall or fence, about four feet wide and twelve long. One of the boys is selected, who is called the Cock, who takes his place within the bounds; the other players are called the Chickens, who distribute themselves in various parts of the play-ground. The Cock now clasps his hands together, and cries, "Warning once, warning twice, and warning three times over; a bushel of wheat, and a bushel of rye, when the Cock crows, out jump I." He then, keeping his hands still clasped before him, runs after the other players; when he touches one, he and the player so touched immediately make for the bounds; the other players immediately try to capture them before they get there; if they succeed, they are privileged to get upon their back and ride them home. The Cock and his Chick now come out of the bounds hand-in-hand, and try to touch some other of the players; the moment they do this they break hands, and they and the player now touched run to the[*No 130 Filed Feby 5. 1864 John A Fowler and Samuel S Moon Proprietors*] THE AMERICAN EXCHANGE AND REVIEW.

The problem of Social Science is, to accomplish the same end, accompanied by order; to so dispose the elements of society that all classes governing and governed shall yield with grace to the spirit of progress; in plain terms, to exalt reason to the place of master, and debase passion to that of slave. But man, we know, is a being of emotions, sensibilities and interests, and has reason not to compel, but only to guide him. His springs of action are oftener antagonistic to reason than coincident with it; and although the development of culture instructs him that it is better that his actions should be controlled by reason than passion, still we can scarcely hope that VOL.

PREFACE. THE first part of the sketch of Mr. Lincoln's life, herewith presented to the public, was prepared for the press in June, 1860--only slight modifications having been made, and brief additions, so as to embrace the period terminating with his inauguration. This portion of the work embodies as condensed view of Mr. Lincoln's speeches, which can not fail to interest the attentive student, who seeks for information concerning his early political life. The second part, after a summary of National events immediately preceding March 4, 1861, gives a condensed history of Mr. Lincoln's Administration, including a narrative of military operations, down to the present time. The most important public papers, addresses and occasional letters of the President, will also be found in the following pages. It has been the fortune of Mr. Lincoln to be called to the Chief Magistracy, at an epoch when a long-maturing conspiracy for the dismemberment of the Union has culminated in a war of unprecedented magnitude. The President, tried as none of his predecessors ever were, has so wisely exercised his power as to command the hearty support of all loyal men at home, and the admiration of enlightened thinkers, unperverted by anti-democratic prejudice in Europe. It was a late member of the British Parliament who pointed out single passages from an address of Mr. Lincoln, as worth "all that Burke ever wrote." His able statesmanship has justified the confidence of the people, while his sterling qualities of heart, his humane sympathies 3iv PREFACE. sympathies, his purity of life, and his power of winning the love and trust of his countrymen, have contributed to deepen the earnestness of the popular wish for his continuance, during another term, in the high office he providentially fills. It is hardly to be hoped that the present attempt to treat so wide a subject, within so small a compass, will satisfy all readers. Many minor details, of special interest to individuals, have necessarily been omitted. Some accounts of military and naval undertakings, which might, of themselves, have filled an entire volume, have been given with perhaps a disappointing brevity. It must suffice to say, here, that no pains have been spared--as no requisite facilities for obtaining correct data have been lacking--to make the work not only trustworthy and complete in regard to matters of salient interest, but also as acceptable as possible to all classes of loyal readers.

CHAPTER I. MR. LINCOLN'S EARLY BOYHOOD IN KENTUCKY. Preliminary Remarks.—Ancestry of Abraham Lincoln.—Their Residence in Pennsylvania and Virginia.—His Grandfather Crosses the Alleghanies to join Boone and his Associates.—"The Dark and Bloody Ground."—His Violent Death.—His Widow Settles in Washington County.—Thomas Lincoln, his Son, Marries and Locates near Hodgenville.—Birth of Abraham Lincoln.—La Rue County.—His Early Life and Training in Kentucky. THE name of no living man is more prominent, at this moment, on the lips and in the thoughts of the American people, than that of ABRAHAM LINCOLN. This happens not merely because, as the candidate of a party, he has won the highest political honors. He has a hold upon the public mind which a partisan election alone cannot account for. This event, indeed, is the effect rather than the cause. An overwhelming popular enthusiasm in certain States where he is best known (and manifested also by the assembled crowds at Chicago, during the memorable week of the Convention) did much to turn the poising balance in his favor, and to determine his selection as a candidate over all his distinguished competitors. What Robert Burns has proverbially been to the people of his native land, and, to a certain extent, of all lands, as a bard, Abraham Lincoln seems to have become to us as a statesman and a patriot, by his intimate relations alike with the humbler and the higher walks of life. By his own native energy and 910 LIFE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN endowment, he has risen from a place of humble obscurity to a commanding position and power among his fellow-men, and achieved an enduring fame. The experiences of the "toiling millions," whether of gladness or of sorrow, have been his experiences. He has an identity with them, such as common toils and common emotions have produced. Thus and otherwise he has become, in person no less than in principle, a genuine representative man in the great cause of FREE LABOR. This is not the time to enter very minutely into the details of the private life of Mr. LINCOLN. Still in the prime of his manhood, with long years of public service apparently yet before him, and with so large a proportion of those who have been associated with him now remaining on the stage of action, no multiplied and indiscriminate relations, designed merely to gratify public curiosity, should be expected in this connection. When the grand era on which, individually, he is now entering, shall have closed, let the more intimate and searching history of all that he has done, said and suffered, whether as a public or a private citizen, he attempted by other and more ambitious hands. It is rather the purpose of the present work to furnish the true and complete outline of a life, which, though not uneventful, or wanting in enticing suggestions to the imagination, often tempting the writer aside into romantic episodes and gossiping researches, is more immediately interesting at this time as throwing light upon the mystery we have noted at the outset, and as bearing directly upon the present state of our national politics, to which Mr. Lincoln now holds so important a relation. The reader is here given a reliable account of the main events of a remarkable career; and should his curiosity at any stage demand more than is given, he may rest assured that nothing has been designedly omitted or glossed over, that tends to illustrate the character, or to affect the public standing of the statesman who is the subject of this memoir. Characteristic anecdotes and personal incidents currently related of him will only be noted in these pages when clearly authentic. Those of questionable authority, or ascertained to be positively fictitious, will be carefully excluded. No statement is haz-LIFE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN. 11 arded which is not capable of verification. A candid estimate of the man, and an accurate representation of his opinions and past acts as a statesman, have been attempted and each as shall deserve the implicit confidence of the people, of whatever class or partisan predilection. Facts are set down without eulogistic comment, and the views of Mr. Lincoln, with such explanations as justice may seem to require, will usually be given in his own words. The ancestors of ABRAHAM LINCOLN were of English descent. We find the earliest definite traces of them in Berks county, Pennsylvania, though this was almost certainly not the first place of their residence in this country. Their location, and their adherence to the Quaker faith, make it probably that the original emigration occurred under the auspices of WM. PENN, or at least in company with those who sympathized and shared in his colonizing movement. It was doubtless a branch of the same family that, leaving England under different religious impulses, but with the same adventurous and independent spirit, settled, at an earlier date, in Old Plymouth Colony. The separation may possibly have taken place this side of the Atlantic, and not beyond. Some of the same traits appear conspicuously in both these family groups. One tradition indeed affirms that the Pennsylvania branch was transplanted from Hingham, Mass., and was derived from a common stock with Colonel Benjamin Lincoln, of Revolutionary fame. There is a noticeable coincidence in the general prevalence, among each American branch, of Scriptural names in christening— the Benjamin, Levi, and Ezra, of Massachusetts, having their counterpart in the Abraham, Thomas, and Josiah, of Virginia and Kentucky. The peculiarity is one to have been equally expected among sober Friends, and among zealous Puritans. Berks county can not have been very long the home of Mr. Lincoln's immediate progenitors. There can hardly have been more than a slender pioneer settlement there, up to the time that one or more of the number made another remove, not far12 LIFE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN. from 1750, to what is now Rockingham county, Virginia. Old Berks was first settled about 1734,-then, too, as a German colony-and was not organized as a county until 1752 ; before which date, according to family traditions, this removal to Virginia took place. This, it will be observed, was pre-eminently a pioneer stock, evidently much in love with backwoods adventure and constantly courting the dangers and hardships of forest-life. Rockingham county, Virginia, though intersected by the beautiful valley of the Shenandoah, or rather by two valleys made by its chief forks, not very far from their junction, and inviting, by its natural resources, the advances of civilization, must nevertheless have been, at the time just mentioned, in the very heart of the wilderness. Now, it is one of the most productive counties of Virginia, having exceeded every other county in the State, according to the census of 1850, in its crops of wheat and hay. A branch of the family, it is understood, still remains there, to enjoy the benefits of so judicious a selection, and of the labors and imperfectly requited endurances of these first settlers. It was more than thirty years later than the arrival there of the Lincolns of Pennsylvania, that Rockingham county first had an organized political existence. From this locality, about the year 1780, perhaps a little later, Abraham Lincoln, grandfather of the one who now bears that name, started westward across the Alleghanies, attracted by the accounts which had reached him of the wonderfully fertile and lovely country explored by Daniel Boone, on and near the Kentucky river. During all his lifetime, hitherto, he could have known little of any other kind of existence than that to which he had been educated as an adventurous frontiersman. The severe labor of preparing the heavily timbered lands of the Shenandoah for cultivation, the wild delights of hunting the then abundant game of the woods, and the exciting hazards of an uncertain warfare with savage enemies, had been almost the sole occupations of his rough but healthful life. Perhaps the settlements around him had already begun to be too far advanced for the highest enjoyment of his characteristic mode of living; or possibly, with others, he aspired to theLIFE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN. 13 possession of more fertile fields, and to an easier subsistence, with new forest-expanses more eligible for the delights of the chase. Whatever the reason, he set out at the time just stated, with his wife and several young children, on his long journey across the mountains, and over the broad valleys intervening between the Shenandoah and the Kentucky. At this date, and for ten or twelve years later, the present State of Kentucky formed part of the old Commonwealth of Virginia. "The dark and bloody ground," as afterward named for better reasons than the fiction which assigns this meaning to its Indian appellation, had then been but recently entered upon by the white man. Its first explorer, Daniel Boone, whose very name suggests a whole world of romance and adventure, had removed, when a mere boy, among the earlier emigrants from Eastern Pennsylvania, to Berks county. Here he must have been a contemporary resident, and was perhaps an acquaintance, of some of the younger members of the Lincoln family. At all events, as substantially one of their own neighbors, they must have watched his later course with eager interest and sympathy, and caught inspiration from his exploits. At eighteen, Boone had again emigrated, with his father as before, to the banks of the Yadkin, a mountain river in the north-west of North Carolina, at just about the same date as the removal of the Lincolns to Virginia. Some years later, Boone, in his hunting excursions, had passed over and admired large tracts of the wilderness north of his home, and especially along a branch of the Cumberland river, within the limits of what is now Kentucky. It was not until 1769, however, that, with five associates, he made the thorough exploration of the Kentucky valley, which resulted in the subsequent settlements there. The glowing descriptions which ultimately got abroad of the incredible richness and beauty of these new and remote forest-climes of Trans-Alleghenian Virginia, and of their alluring hunting-grounds, must have early reached the ears of the boyhood-companions of Daniel Boone, and spread through the neighboring country. The stirring adventures of the pioneer hero, during the next five of six years, and the beginnings of substantial settlements in that far-west country,14 LIFE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN. must have suggested new attractions thitherward to the more active and daring spirits, whose ideal of manhood Boone so nearly approached. From the borders, in various directions, hundreds of miles away, emigration had now begun. These recruits were from that class of hardy frontiersmen most inured to the kind of toils they were to encounter anew in the Kentucky forests. They went forward, fearless of the dangers to be encountered from the numerous bands of Indians already recommencing hostilities, after a temporary pacification. Here was a common territory and place of meeting for the tribes, both of the North and the South, and here, before and after this date, there were many exciting adventures and deadly conflicts with these savages, whose favorite haunts had been thus unceremoniously invaded. It was not far from the date of the disastrous battle of the Lower Blue Licks, that the grandfather of Mr. Lincoln, with his young family, reached the region which had perhaps long been the promised land of his dreams. This transmigration was certainly some time later than 1778, and earlier than 1784, as circumstances hereafter to be stated will show. Boone, Kenton, Harrod, Floyd, and their brave associates, were still in the midst of the great struggles which have given them lasting memory in history. Lincoln was ambitious to share their fortunes, and to fix his home in this more genial and opulent clime. The exact place at which he settled is not known. It was somewhere on Floyd's creek, and probably near its mouth, in what is now Bullitt county. The hopes which led to this change of his home were not destined to be fulfilled. He had made but a mere beginning in his new pioneer labors, when, while at work one day, at a distance from his cabin, unsuspecting of danger, he was killed by an Indian, who had stolen upon him unaware. This took place in the year 1784, or very near that time, when he was probably not more than thirty-five years of age. His widow, thus suddenly bereaved in a new and strange land, had now their three sons and two daughters left to her sole protection and care, with probably little meansLIFE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN. 15 for their support. She soon after removed to what became Washington county, in the same State, not far distant, and there reared her children, all of whom reached mature age. One of the daughters was married to a Mr. Crume, and the other to a man named Bromfield. The three sons, respectively named Thomas, Mordecai, and Josiah, all remained in Kentucky until after their majority. Thomas Lincoln, one of these sons, was born in 1778. He was a mere child when his father removed to Kentucky, and was but six years old at the time of the latter's death. The date of this event was consequently about 1784. Of the early life of the orphan boy, we have no knowledge, except what can be learned of the general lot of his class, and of the habits and modes of living then prevalent among the hardy pioneers of Kentucky. These backwoodsmen had an unceasing round of hard toils, with no immediate reward but a bare subsistence from year to year, and the cheering promise of better days in the future. But even their lands, as in the case of Boone, they were not always so fortunate as to retain in fee. Most comfortable days, and a much improved state of things had come, before Thomas arrived at maturity, but in his boy hood and youth, he must have known whatever was worst in the trials and penury of the first generation of Kentucky frontiersmen, with few other enjoyments than an occasional practice with his rifle. His training was suited to develop a strong, muscular frame, and a rugged constitution, with a characteristic quickness of perception and promptness of action. The Kentuckian of that and the succeeding generation had generally a tall, stalwart frame, a frank and courteous heart, and a humorous and slightly quaint turn of speech; a fondness for adventure and for the sports of hunting; a manly self-respect and a fearless independence of spirit. "Pride in their port, defiance in their eye, Intent on high designs, a thoughtful band, By forms unfashioned, fresh from nature's hand, Fierce in their native hardiness of soul True to imagined right, about control.16 LIFE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN. This generation began its life with the independent existence of the nation, and partook largely of the spirit of exultant self-confidence then abroad through the land. These were the circumstances and associations under which, in those primeval days in Kentucky, Thomas Lincoln passed through the period of boyhood and youth. At the date of the political separation from Virginia, in 1792, and the formation of a new State, this orphan boy, struggling to aid his mother in the support of the ill-fortuned family, had reached the age of fourteen. The currents of emigration had become enlarged and accelerated, meantime, until the population was swelled, as early as 1790, to more than 73,000; and during the next ten years it was more than trebled, reaching 220,00. The wilderness that once was around Boonesborough, Harrodsburg, and Lexington, was now blossoming as the rose. Still, however, there was ample space unoccupied, within the limits of the new State, for those who craved the excitements and the loneliness of a home in the wilderness. In 1806, Thomas Lincoln, being then twenty-eight years of age, was married to Nancy Hanks, a native of Virginia, and settled in what was then Hardin county, Kentucky. It does not appear that the parents of Miss Hanks ever removed to Kentucky, though others of the family did so. Of the history of her ancestry, we have no definite particulars. Her position in life appears to have been not dissimilar to that of her husband. That she possessed some rare qualities of mind and heart, there is reason to believe; although, dying at an early age, and having, from the time of her marriage, passed her days on obscure frontiers, few recollections of her are accessible. ABRAHAM LINCOLN was born of these parents on the 12th day of February, 1809. The place where they at this time resided, is in what is now LaRue county, about a mile and a half from Hodgenville, the county seat, and seven miles from Elizabethtown, laid off several years previously, and the county seat of Hardin county. He had one sister, two years his senior, who grew up to womanhood, married, and died while young. He had a brother, two years younger than himself,VIGOR. A Novel.

"THERE are three persons in the Godhead, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one God, the same in substance, equal in power and glory." Westminster Assembly's Shorter Catechism. THE doctrine which this article sums up and condenses from the Scriptures, is particularly a Scripture doctrine. Like the doctrine of the atonement, it is not likely to be discovered from nature, but requires to be revealed. The mode of the divine existence is, from the nature of the subject, so high above all the analogies of nature or created existences, that we must depend wholly on the Bible for the statement and the prof. Nor can we reasonably expect to comprehend it fully in its philosophy. "Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?" All that can be demanded by reason is that the facts be clearly revealed and that it shall not be absurd and impossible, or contradictory to reason and the analogy of nature. This therefore is one of several truths fundamental to the Gospel system, which no man can be expected to receive who has not first fully settled in his mind the divine inspiration of the Scriptures, such as to constitute them an infallible guide. VOL. IV. - NO. XIX. 1 [*The Boston Review Company P Proprietors 23 January 1864 Vol. 39 P. 64*]been very prevalent through the world, that, in some way, the Deity has a three-fold manner of existence. This fact can only be accounted for on the supposition that the doctrine of the Trinity was revealed to the patriarchs, and, by tradition, some traces of it were preserved and spread abroad among the nations. It is well known that the ancient Egyptians, and the eastern nations generally believed in a Trinity. The missionaries find the Hindoos believing it in modern times, and find them also tracing the notion back to a very ancient date. As the philosophers thought it their province to explain every thing, we find Plato, nearly four hundred years before Christ, endeavoring by philosophy to bring down the mystery to the comprehension of men. He resolved the Trinity into, (1) God as pure reason. (2) God as the original ideas in reason. (3) God as these ideas infused into material forms and now existing as the soul of the world. Plato had many followers who adopted these speculations with no more or less addition and modification. During the first Christian century there arose various sects called Gnostics whose object was to blend the Platonic philosophy with the doctrines of the Gospel. The Ebionites, the Nicolaitans, and the followers of Cerinthus, against whom John wrote his Gospel, were all Gnostics who were corrupting this and other Christian doctrines by their speculations. Undoubtedly John in the latter part of his life wrote his Gospel more expressly to deny and refute the errors of those false teachers, who had endeavored to persuade the early Christians that the divine and the human were not actually and really united in the person of the Lord Jesus. Hence at the outset, he goes back to the very expression which the Jewish church had for ages employed to represent the Jehovah, or Lord of the Old Testament, and repeatedly, and unequivocally applies it to Christ; declaring that this same person, called by the patriarchs and prophets the Angel Jehovah, "The Lord whom ye seek," "the messenger of the covenant," was the Lord Jesus Christ, both their Creator and Redeemer. The Babylonian paraphrase, or Targum, frequently translates the Hebrew word "Jehovah," by "The Word of the Lord."

The Hebrews, by divine requirement, were kept familiar with the historical origin of their civil and religious institutions. Parents were required to instruct their children in this regard. When the passover was kept, and the son inquired, why this institution, the father took him back to that great struggle in Egypt, in which God by visible and miraculous interposition, contended for the liberty of his people, and explained to him the historical facts out of which the passover sprang. There was great wisdom in this practice. It gave the institution a hold upon the affections of each succeeding generation which could not easily be unloosed. If every generation in our country could thus be instructed in respect to the origin of our free institutions, we are persuaded those institutions would become entrenched in the veneration and love of the people as they never yet have been. There has come at last to be a necessity for this kind of historical knowledge. A whole generation has grown up who know not the fathers. The people need to be taken back to that great conflict of ideas and principles which occurred in England, in the period immediately preceding the exile of our Pilgrim Fathers, in which conflict was born all our freedom. They need to know more of a class of men who lived then and there, of whom the world was not worthy, martyrs for our liberties, the fathers and teachers of the Pilgrims, the men, who, from the dungeon and the gallows pointed them to this distant land as the only place where their principles could have full scope and free development. What was that conflict in which they suffered martyrdom? What were the principles which then met in such a death-grapple? It is proposed, in this Article, to attempt some answer to these questions. And, in doing so, we shall make free use of the material which Dr. Waddington has furnished us in his "Life of John Penry" and his "Track of the Hidden Church." [LC]BOSTON REVIEW. VOL. IV. -- MAY, 1864. -- NO. 21. ARTICLE I. THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EDUCATED MEN TO CHRISTIANITY. THREE cabalistic letters from the Greek long signified, but only to the initiated, a motto designed to characterize a learned society of the most distinguished undergraduates and alumni of our leading colleges. The veil of secrecy is now removed; the interpretation of the mystic symbol is given to the world; and the society of the Phi Beta Kappa openly affirms that "Philosophy is the guide of life." This remarkable profession may have been innocently made at the outset, and its involved mistake propagated, traditionally, like other fallacies which are ultimately traceable only to "the spirit of the power of the air." But that it is a fallacy, however, unintentionally admitted [?] [*The Boston Review Company Vol. 39. Proprietors P. 252. May 6, 1894*][*252.*] 226 The Responsibility of [May, corrected before the world. We would do no dishonor to a venerable society. We could not if we would, and we would not if we could, put it at any disadvantage wherein this single criticism does not apply. But we are bound, as Christian journalists, to maintain that not philosophy, but Christianity, is the guide of life, and to do it now the rather, more discriminately and earnestly, because philosophy, throughout the world, is ambitiously exercising the injurious prerogative which our Christian institutions have incautiously conceded, and which it is becoming so difficult to countervail. If the human reason be a pure, universal essence, divine, or an outgoing of divinity, and every individual reason, or the reason of a few great men, be the ultima ratio, the higher law, from which no appeal can be taken even to a miraculous revelation, we would accept, not the least, its last pantheistic development, and go on, under the guidance of its new lights, to assist its boasted consummation of the perfectibility of man, and its already heralded introduction of a golden age. But that is just the presumption which we deny. We stand by the Logos, the Word made flesh, divinely proclaimed, supernaturally attested, and authoritatively signified by the descent of the Mystic Dove. Christianity is from God, and is absolute. Philosophy is a product of the human reason, and is conditioned. God himself accordingly distinguishes between them. The one is "the wisdom of God and the power of God unto salvation"; the other is "vain imaginations," "craftiness" and "foolishness." Yet reason has its province. That we discuss not now. It is not material to our purpose. But the reason, whatever be its province, no consistent Christian will deny to be the property of a finite, fallen and sinful being.

In our previous issues we have been able to announce to the public a steady increase of names from year to year. Not so, however, this year, as it will be seen that there is a slight decrease in the number of names from last year. But we wish the public to understand that it is no fault of ours that the names run short. The following are the explanations: Just before we entered upon the canvass of the City on the third day of May last, it will be remembered that the daily newspapers, both of New York City and Brooklyn, were publishing articles stating that the draft would take place in Brooklyn about the first week in May. We do not blame the public journals, however; subsequent events have shown that they were correct. But of course the excitement created by these announcements rose to fever heat with many persons liable to military duty, and in many instances our canvassers were refused the necessary information for the Directory, being taken, by the terribly frightened people, for the enrolling officers; often being locked out of tenement houses, and, in some instances, threatened with violence. This is the first year the Directory has decreased in the number of names since 1854, when the present publishers embarked in the Directory enterprise. While we have lost the names of some of the timid, who are for the most part single persons, and not engaged in business on their own account, we feel justified in saying that we believe neither the Directory nor the public have suffered any material loss. We again state that the fault is none of ours, as the same system and means have been employed this year that we always employ, and which we believe to be one of the best systems known among Directory publishers. Many persons labor under a great mistake, by supposing that by withholding their names from the Directory, they will be able to shirk the responsibility of citizenship. In our next issue we intend giving a full and complete list of all those who refuse to give the information necessary to perfect the work, that the public may know where the blame lies for names not appearing in the Directory. An experience of eleven years in Directory publishing has shown one curious fact, that those persons loudest in their denunciations of the Directory have been found to be those who contribute nothing towards its support. We have been encouraged by the city authorities, from year to year, to believe that the law relating to the re-naming and re-numbering of the Streets, which has long since become a crying evil, would be carried out. For reasons beyond our comprehension, the work still remains unfinished. As the price of publishing materials and labor have so greatly advanced during the past year, we are compelled to advance the price of the work to three dollars per copy. After expressing our gratitude to those who have so kindly contributed information for the work, we leave the present issue in the hands of a generous public.THE SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND COMBATANTS; OR, THE CHILDREN OF THE PATRIARCHS CONQUERING THE PROMISED LAND.

VI.—AUGUST, 1864.—No. II. AMERICAN CIVILIZATION. SECOND PAPER. As a nation we are fast losing that reverence for the powers that be which is enjoined by Holy Writ, and without which no form of government can be lasting, no political system can take a firm hold upon the affections of the people. The opposition press teems with vituperation and personal abuse of those whom the people themselves have chosen to control the public policy and administer the public affairs. The incumbent of the Presidential chair, so far from receiving that respect and deference to which his position entitles him, becomes the victim of slander and vilification, from one portion of the country to another, on the part of those who chance to differ with him in political sentiments. Even beardless boys, taking their cue from those who, being older, should know better, are unsparing in the use of such terms as 'scoundrel,' 'fool,' 'tyrant,' as applied to those whom the people have delighted to honor, either unconscious or utterly heedless of the disgust with which their language inspires the older and more thoughtful. And thus it has become a recognized fact that no man's reputation can withstand the trial of a four years' term of service in the Presidential office. While this is in a great measure the reaction from the king worship of the Old World, it is nevertheless a blot upon our civilization, a departure from those lofty and noble sentiments which characterize every advanced stage of human intellect, in which the supremacy and inviolability of the law is acknowledged, and in which the ruler is reverenced as the representative and impersonation of the law And as, in such a stage, respect for the magistrate and the law mutually react upon each other, so in the present state of affairs the tendency is, in the course of time, to reach from the ruler to the edict which he administers, and thus to beget a disrespect and disregard of law itself, paving the way to that violence and mob rule which, in the present state of humanity, must inevitably attend the establishment of the democratic principle The remedy is to be found in the education of our you the utmost respect for those by whom it is be inculcated as th patriotism and VOL. VI.—9Filed July 19. 1864 122 American Civilization. at the same time cultivating a loftier appreciation of the blessings of social order and harmony, and of well-regulated liberty of thought, speech, and action, and a purer standard of right. Yet even this will be of little avail except in connection with the abatement, through the strong good sense of a thinking and upright people, of that national nuisance of bitter and unmerciful political partisanship of which we have spoken, all of whose tendencies are to evil, and so removing from the eyes of our youth a low, unworthy, and degrading example, which they are too prone to follow. The child will tread, to a great degree, in the steps of the father, and the whole course of his intellectual life be governed, more or less, by the principles and prejudices which he is accustomed every day to hear from the lips of a parent, who is necessarily the teacher and, in a great measure, the moulder of his infant mind. How careful, then, ought every parent to be of the principles which he inculcates and the examples which he sets in his conversation, especially when that conversation is directed to a condemnation of the motives or the acts of the ruling powers! - lest the child be some time inclined to enlarge upon his views, and carry his deductions farther than he himself ever dreamed, till he shall finally be led into a contempt of the institutions as well as of the rulers of his native land, through a father's teaching, and so grow up an embryo traitor, ready at the first signal to embark in any revolutionary scheme or wild enterprise of visionary reform, such as have been and are still the disturbers of our national prosperity. For an example of such a result in our day we have but to look at the youth of the Southern States, whose fiery treason, far exceeding that of their elders, is nothing more than the outgrowth, the legitimate extension and development of that bitter denunciation of rulers who chanced to be unpopular with their fathers, of that unrestrained license of speech which left nothing untouched, however sacred, however holy it might be, which chanced to stand in the way of gross and sordid interest. The ideas of the hot-blooded, fire-eating Southern youth of to-day, the recklessness and the treason, the denationalizing spirit of revolution and blood which so readily manifests itself in contempt of the old flag, and the direst hatred of all that their fathers held sacred and laid down their lives to sustain - all this is but the idea, intensified and developed, of the Southerner of a bygone generation; it is but the natural deduction from his conversation and life, pondered over by the child, fixed deeply in his heart as the teaching of a revered tutor, and carried out, by a natural course of reasoning, to its extreme in the parricidal rebellion of to-day. And yet that idea was in its inception, apparently harmless enough, being nothing more than that denunciation and vituperation of the political leaders and the ruling powers which chanced to be in the opposition, whereby the child was in due course of time weaned from his country, and taught to look likely upon and speak lightly of that which of old time was only mentioned with love and reverent awe. Nor is this the only reform which is needed in the education of our youth. The phrase 'completing one's education' is used to-day with utter looseness, and applied to that period when the youth leaves the school or college for the busy walks of life. How much of error is contained in such an application of the term he well knows who, after some years of world life, can look back upon his college days and see what a mere smattering of knowledge he gained within the 'classic shades,' and how poorly educated he was, in any and every sense of the word, how ill fitted for the realities of work-day life, when first he emerged in self-sufficient pride from the sacred walls, and launched boldly out upon the world. At the timeTHE CONTINENTAL MONTHLY: DEVOTED TO LITERATURE AND NATIONAL POLICY. VOL. VI.—OCTOBER, 1864.—No. IV. SOME USES OF A CIVIL WAR. WAR is a great evil. We may confess that, at the start. The Peace Society has the argument its own way. The bloody field, the mangled dying, hoof-trampled into the reeking sod, the groans, and cries, and curses, the wrath, and hate, and madness, the horror and the hell of a great battle, are things no rhetoric can ever make lovely. The poet may weave his wreath of victory for the conqueror; the historian, with all the pomp of splendid imagery, may describe the heroism of the day of slaughter; but, after all, and none know this better than the men most familiar with it, a great battle is the most hateful and hellish sight that the sun looks on in all his courses. And the actual battle is only a part. The curse goes far beyond the field of combat. The trampled dead and dying are but a tithe of the actual sufferers. There are desolate homes, far away, where want changes sorrow into madness. Wives wail by hearthstones where the household fires have died into cold ashes forever more. Like Rachel, mothers weep for the proud boys that lie stark beneath the pitiless stars. Under a thousand roofs—cottage VOL. VI. - 25 roofs and palace roofs—little children ask for 'father.' The pattering feet shall never run to meet, upon the threshold, his feet, who lies stiffening in the bloody trench far away! There are added horrors in civil war. These forms, crushed and torn out of all human semblance, are our brothers. These wailing widows, these small fatherless ones speak our mother language, utter their pain in the tongue of our own wives and children. Victory seems barely better than defeat, when it is victory over our own blood. The scars we carve with steel or burn with powder across the shuddering land, are scars on the dear face of the Motherland we love. These blackened roof-trees, they are the homes of our kindred. These cities, where shells are bursting through crumbling wall and flaming spire, they are cities of our own fair land, perhaps the brightest jewels in her crown. Ay! men do well to pray for peace! With suppliant palms outstretched to the pitying God, they do well to cry, as in the ancient litany, 'Give peace in our time, O Lord!' Let the husbandman go forth in the furrow. Let the Filed Sept. 21, 1864 362 Some Uses of a Civil War. cattle come lowing to the stalls at evening. Let bleating flocks whiten all the uplands. Let harvest hymns be sung, while groaning wagons drag to bursting barns their mighty weight of sheaves. Let mill wheels turn their dripping rounds by every stream. Let sails whiten along every river. Let the smoke of a million peaceful hearths rise like incense in the morning. Let the shouts of happy children, at their play, ring down ten thousand valleys in the summer day's decline. Over all the blessed land, asleep beneath the shadow of the Almighty hand, let the peace of God rest in benediction! 'Give peace in our time, O Lord!' And yet the final clause to every human prayer must be 'Thy will be done!' There are things better far than peace. There are things more loathely and more terrible than the horror of battle and 'garments rolled in blood.' Peace is blessed, but if you have peace with hell, how about the blessedness? A covenant with evil is not the sort of agreement that will bring comfort. A truce with Satan is not the thing that it will do to trust. There are things in this world, without which the prayer for peace is 'a witch's prayer,' read backward to a curse. That is to say, whether peace is good depends entirely on the further question, With whom are you at peace? Whether war is evil depends on the other question, With whom are you at war? In one most serious and substantial point of view, human life is a battle, which, for the individual, ends only with death, and, for the race, only with the Final Consummation. The tenure of our place and right, as children of God, is that we fight evil to the bitter end. 'The Prince of Peace' Himself came 'not to send peace,' in this war, 'but a sword.' We may venture, then, to say that there are some wars which are not all evil. They are terrible, but terrible like the hurricane, which sweeps away the pestilence; terrible like the earthquake, on whose night of terror God builds a thousand years of blooming plenty; terrible like the volcano, whose ashes are clothed by the purple vintages and yellow harvests of a hundred generations. The strong powers of nature are as beneficent as strong. The destroying powers are also creating powers. Life sits upon the sepulchre, and sings over buried Death through all nature and all time. War, too, has its compensations. For years, amid the world's rages, we had peace. The only war we had, at all events, was one of our own seeking, and a mere playing at war. Many of us thought it would be so always. We believed we had discovered a method of settling all the world's difficulties without blows. The peace people had their jubilee. They talked about the advance of intelligence, and the softening power of civilization. They placed war among the forgotten horrors of a dead barbarism. They proved that commerce had rendered war impossible, because it had made it against self-interest. They talked about reason and persuasion, and moral influences. They asked, 'Why not settle all troubles in a grand world's congress, some huge palaver and paradise of speechmakers, where it will be all talk and voting and no blows?' Why not, indeed? How easy to 'resolve' this poor, blind, struggling world of ours into a bit of heaven, you see, and so end our troubles! How easy to vote these poor, stupid, blundering brothers of ours into angels, in some great parliament of eloquent philosophers, and govern them thereafter on that basis! Now, resolutions and speeches and grand palavers are nice things, in their way, to play with, but, on the whole, it is best to get down to the hard fact if one really wants to work and prosper. And the hard fact is, that Adam's sons are not yet cherubs, nor their homestead, among the stars, just yet an outlying field of paradise. It is a planetTHE CONTINENTAL MONTHLY: DEVOTED TO LITERATURE AND NATIONAL POLICY. VOL. VI.—DECEMBER, 1864.—No. VI. AN ARMY: ITS ORGANIZATION AND MOVEMENTS FIFTH PAPER. BEFORE the enlightenment derived from the sad experiences of our present civil contest, upon the incidents of protracted warfare, probably most persons conceived of war as a scene of constant activity—a series of marches, battles, and sieges, with but few intervals of repose. History records only the active portions of war, taking but little account of the long periods consumed in the preliminary processes of organization and discipline, in the occupation of camps and cantonments, in the stationary watches of opposing armies, lying in the front of each other, both too weak for aggressive movements, but each strong enough to prevent such movements on the part of its opponent. Such matters, if noticed at all, are recorded in a few sentences, making no impression on the reader. Novels of the 'Charles O'Malley' class have also given incorrect ideas. Every page relates some adventure—every scene gleams with sabres and bayonets. Our three years' experience has taught us that the greater portion of an army's existence is spent in inactivity; that campaigning is performed only through one half of the year, and of that time probably not over one third is occupied in progressive movements. In the campaign of 1861, the only marches of the Army of the Potomac were to the battle field of Bull Run and the retreat. In 1862, after a march of fifteen miles to Fairfax Court House and returning, the army was transferred to Fortress Monroe and moved to Yorktown, where some weeks were passed in the trenches; it then proceeded up the Peninsula, and laid a month before Richmond; retreated to Harrison's Landing, and laid another month; returned to Fortress Monroe, and was shipped to the vicinity of Washington, marched for about a month, fought at Antietam, and then laid in camp a month; moved to Warrenton and remained a fortnight; proceeded to Fredericksburg and continued in camp all winter, except making the short movements which led to the battle of December, and the ineffective attempt to turn the rebel left, known as the 'mud march.' In all this long campaign, from March to VOL. VI.—41 [*Filed Nov. 26. 1864*] 602 An Army: Its Organization and Movements. December, a period of nearly nine months, spent in various operations, more than five months were passed in stationary camps—most of the time occupied, it is true, in picketing, entrenching, and other duties incident to positive military operations in proximity to an enemy, but very different from the duties connected with marching and fighting. The campaign of 1863 comprised a still smaller period of active movements. Commencing in April with the battle of Chancellorsville, it continued till the march to Mine Run in October—seven months; but considerable more than half the time was spent in camps at Falmouth, Warrenton, and Culpepper. The great campaign now in progress has consumed (at the time this article is written) three months, commencing after a six-months' interval of inaction, and already half the time has been spent in the trenches at Petersburg. Since so large a portion of the time of an army is passed in camps, that branch of military science which governs the arrangement of forces when stationary, is one of considerable importance. It is in camps that armies are educated, that all the details of organization are systematized, that the morale of troops is cultivated, that a round of laborious though monotonous duties is performed. Nothing is so trying to the temper of the individuals composing an army as a long season in a stationary camp; nothing has more effect for good or for evil upon the army in the aggregate, than the mode in which the time, at such a season, is occupied. The commander who does not exercise care to have his camps pitched in the proper localities, to insure the observance of hygienic rules, and to keep his men employed sufficiently in military exercises, will have discontented, unhealthy, and indolent troops. The words 'camps' and 'cantonments' are frequently used in the newspapers without any discrimination; but they denote two entirely different methods of sheltering troops. A camp is defined to be the place where troops are established in tents, in huts, or in bivouac; while cantonments are inhabited places which troops occupy for shelter when not put in barracks. Of camps there are several kinds, according to the purposes to be effected by their establishment, such as the nightly camps while upon the march, camps of occupation, camps in line of battle, &c. Cantonments are most frequently used when, during the winter, or other considerable period of inactivity, it is necessary to distribute an army over a large district of country, so as to guard a number of points. We have not had any instance of cantonment, properly speaking, during the present war; but in Europe this method of disposing troops is frequently adopted. The scenes ensuing upon the arrival of an army corps at its camping ground for a night, after a day's march, are very lively, often amusing, and sometimes present picturesque effects. Where the country traversed by the army is known to the commander, he is able to designate the nightly camps of the different corps with precision; if, on account of ignorance of the country, this cannot be done, places are approximately indicated upon the information given by maps or extracted from the inhabitants, or procured by reconnoitring parties. Usually, however, the commander possesses considerable topographical information, procured by his officers in the advance with the cavalry and light troops, so that he can fix the nightly camps in such a manner that the various corps shall all be upon the same line, and lie within supporting distances. The vicinity of streams is invariably selected for a camp, if other circumstances permit. When a corps arrives within a mile or two of its destination, the commander sends forward some of his staff officers (accompanied by a cavalry guard, if the country is suspicious), and these officers select the different localities for the camps of the [*LC*]THE CONTINENTAL MONTHLY: DEVOTED TO LITERATURE AND NATIONAL POLICY. VOL. VI - NOVEMBER, 1864 - No. V. THE PROGRESS OF LIBERTY IN THE UNITED STATES There are three classes of person in the loyal States of this Union who proclaim the present civil war unnecessary, and clamor for peace at any price: first, a multitude of people, so ignorant of the history of the country that they do not know what the conflict is about; secondly, a smaller class of better-informed citizens, who have no moral comprehension of the inevitable opposition of democracy and aristocracy, free society and slave society, and who believe sincerely that a permanent compromise or trade can be negotiated between these opposing forces in human affairs; thirdly, a clique of demagogues, who are trying to use these two classes of people to paralyze the Government, and force it into a surrender to the rebels on such terms as they choose to dictate: their separation from the United States, or recall to their old power in a restored and reconstructed Union. It will be my purpose, in this article, to show the complete fallacy of this nation, by presenting the facts concerning the progress of the different portions of our country in the American idea of liberty during the years preceding this war. The census of 1860, if VOL. VI. -- 33 honestly studied, must convince any unprejudiced man, at home or abroad, that the Slave Power deliberately brought this war upon the United States, to save itself from destruction by the irresistible and powerful growth of free society in the Union. This war had the same origin and necessity of every great conflict between the people and the aristocracy since the world began. Every war of this kind in history has been the result of the advancement of the people in liberty. Now the people have inaugurated the conflict against the aristocracy, either in the interest of self-government, or an imperial rule which should virtually rest upon their suffrage. Now the aristocracy has risen upon the people, who were becoming too strong and free, to conquer and govern them though republican or monarchical forms of society. There has always been an irrepressible conflict between aristocracy and democracy; in times of peace carried on by all the agencies of popular achievement; but in every nation finally bursting into civil war. As every such war, however, will slow its progress, or uncertain its immediate Filed Oct. 19. 1864 482 The Progress of Liberty in the United States. quence, has finally left the mass of the people nearer liberty than it found them. The northern Grecian states represented the cause of the people; and the oriental empires the cause of the few. These little states grew so rapidly that the despots of Asia became alarmed, and organized gigantic expeditions to destroy them. At Marathon and Salamis, the people's cause met and drove back the mighty invasion; and two hundred years later, under the lead of Alexander, dissolved every Asiatic empire, from the Mediterranean to the Euphrates, to its original elements. Julius Caesar destroyed the power of the old Roman aristocracy in the interest of the people of the Roman empire. Under the name of 'The Republic,' that patrician class had oppressed the people of Rome and her provinces for years as never was people oppressed before. After fifty years of civil war, Julius and Augustus Caesar organized the masses of this world-wide empire, and established a government under which the aristocracy was fearfully worried, but which administered such justice to the world as had never before been possible. The religious wars of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, which involved the whole of Europe for eighty years, were begun by the civil and religious aristocracy of Europe to crush the progress of religious and civil liberty among the people. These wars continued until religious freedom was established in Germany, Holland, and Great Britain, and those seeds of political liberty sown that afterward sprang up in the American republic. The English civil wars of the seventeenth century were begun by the king and great nobles to suppress the rising power of the commons, and continued till constitutional liberty was practically secured to all the subjects of the British empire. The French Revolution was the revolt of the people of France against one of the most cruel and tyrannical aristocracies that ever reigned; and continued, with brief interruptions, till the people of both France and Italy had vindicated the right to choose their emperors by popular suffrage. During the half century between the years 1775 and 1825, every people in North America had thrown off the power of a foreign aristocracy by war, and established a republican form of government, except the Canadas, which secured the same practical results by more peaceful methods. The historian perceives that each of these great wars was an inevitable condition of liberty for the people, and has exalted their condition. In all these struggles there were the same kinds of opponents to the war: the ignorant, who knew nothing about it; the morally indifferent, who could not see why freemen and tyrants could not agree to live together in amity; and the demagogues, who were willing to ruin the country to exalt themselves. But we now understand that only through these red gates of war could the peoples of the world have marched up to their present enjoyment of liberty; that each flaming portal is a triumphal arch, on which in inscribed some great conquest for mankind. The present civil war in the United States is the last frantic attempt of this dying feudal aristocracy to save itself from inevitable dissolution. The election of Mr. Lincoln as President of the United States, in 1860, by the vote of every Free State, was the announcement to the world that the people of the United States had finally and decisively conquered the feudal aristocracy of the republic after a civil contest of eighty years. With no weapons but those placed in their hands by the Constitution of the United States, the freemen of the republic had practically put this great slave aristocracy under their feet forever.

Vol. VI--SEPTEMBER, 1864.--No. III. OUR DOMESTIC AFFAIRS. NOT of those affairs which are domestic in a broad, national sense; not of any of our home institutions, 'peculiar' or otherwise; not of politics in any shape, nor of railroads and canals, nor of interstate relations, reconstructions, amnesty; not even of the omnivorous question, The War, do I propose to treat under the head of 'Our Domestic Affairs;' but of a subject which, though scarcely ever discussed except flippantly, and with unworthy levity, in that broad arena of public journalism in which almost every other conceivable topic is discussed, is yet second to none, if not absolutely first of all in its bearings upon our domestic happiness. I refer to the question of domestic service in our households. The only plausible explanation of the singular fact that this important subject is not more frequently discussed in public is, undoubtedly, to be found in its very magnitude. Men and women whose 'mission' it is to enlighten and instruct the people, abound in every walk of morals. Religion, science, ethics, and every department of social economy but this, have their 'reformers.' Before the great problem, How shall the evils which attend our domestic service be removed? the stoutest- VOL. IV. -- 17 hearted reformer stands appalled. These evils are so multiform and all- pervading, they strike their roots so strongly, and ramify so extensively, that they defy the attempt to eradicate them; and they are thus left to flourish and increase. We have plenty of groans over these evils, but scarcely ever a thoughtful consideration of their cause, or an attempt worth noting to remove or mitigate them. This is surely cowardly and wrong. This great question, which is really so engrossing that it is more talked of in the family circle than any other--this profound and intricate problem, upon the solution of which the comfort, happiness, and thrift of every household in the land depend more than upon almost any other--surely demands the most careful study, and the deepest solicitude of the reformer and philanthropist. The subject just now is receiving considerable attention in England, and the journals and periodicals of that country have recently teemed with articles setting forth the miseries with which English households are afflicted, owing to the want of good servants. But, unfortunately, from none of these has the writer been able to extract much assistance in preparing an an-Filed Aug 22. 1864 242 Our Domestic Affairs. swer to the only practical question: How are the evils of domestic service to be remedied? I quote, however, an extract from a recent article in The Victoria Magazine, in order to show how far the complaints made in England of the shortcomings of servants run parallel with those of our own housekeepers. It is to be noted that the writer confessedly holds a brief for the servants. If the facts are fairly stated, the relation between a servant in an English family and her employer differs widely from the like relation with us: 'The prizes in domestic service are few, the blanks many. Ladies think only of the prizes. Needlewomen and factory girls, when they turn their attention to domestic service, see the hardworked, underfed scrub lacking the one condition which goes far to alleviate the hardest lot, that of personal liberty. People who have never known what it is to be subject to the caprices of a petty tyrant, scarcely appreciate this alleviation at its true value. They expatiate upon the light labors, the abundance, the freedom from anxiety which characterize the lot of servants in good places, with an unction worthy of Southern slaveholders. What more any woman can want they cannot understand. They think it nothing that a servant has not, from week to week, and month to month, a moment that she can call her own, a single hour of the day or night, of which she can say, 'This is mine, and no one has a right to prescribe what I shall do with it'--that, in most cases, she has no recognized right to invite any one to come and see her, and therefore can have no full and satisfying sense of home--that many mistresses go so far as to claim the regulation of her dress--that even in mature age and by the kindest employers she is treated more as a child to be taken care of than as a responsible, grown-up woman, able to think and judge for herself. These are substantial drawbacks to the lot of the pampered menial. . . . These complaints of the readiness of servants to leave their places are based on the assumption that they are under obligations to their employers. In many cases, no doubt, they are, though probably least so where gratitude is most expected. But, at any rate, employers are also under obligations to them. When one thinks of all servants do for us, and how little, comparatively, we do for them, it appears that the demand for gratitude might come more appropriately from the other side. It is an old saying that we value in others the virtues which are convenient to ourselves, and this is curiously illustrated in the popular ideal of a good servant. In the master's estimate--besides the indispensable physical qualification of vigorous health--diligence, punctuality, cleverness, readiness to oblige, and rigid honesty, of a certain sort, are essentials.' We would look long through our laundries and kitchens for the 'hard- worked, underfed scrub' of the above extract; and the 'servant who has not from week to week, and month to month, a moment that she can call her own, a single hour of the day or night, of which she can say, This is mine,' etc., does not belong to so numerous a class that her sorrows in this respect invoke commiseration in the public journals. But great as is the difference still between English and American servants, as indicated by the above extract, the former are in a steadily 'progressive' state, and every year brings them nearer in their condition to the happy--and, fortunately for the rest of mankind, as yet anomalous--state of American domesticdom. An article in the London Saturday Review thus comments upon this progress: 'It seems to be too generally forgotten that servants are a part of the social system, and that, as the social system changes, the servants change with it. In the days of our great-grandmothers, the traditions of the patriarchal principle and the subtile influences of feudalism had not died out. 'Servitude' had scarcely lost its etymological significance, and there was something at least of the best elements of slavery in the mutual relation of master and servant. There was an identification of interests; wages were small; hiring for a year under penal obligations was the rule of domestic service; and facilities for changing situations were rare and legally abridged. It was as in married life; as the parties to the contract wereLECTURES ON MEDICAL EDUCATION, OR ON THE PROPER METHOD OF STUDYING MEDICINE: BY SAMUEL CHEW, M.

THE CONTINENTAL MONTHLY: DEVOTED TO LITERATURE AND NATIONAL POLICY. VOL. V.— FEBRUARY, 1864.— NO. II. THOMAS JEFFERSON, AS SEEN BY THE LIGHT OF 1863. MR. JEFFERSON, in his lifetime, underwent the extremes of abuse and of adulation. Daily, semi-weekly, or weekly did Fenno, Porcupine Cobbett, Dennie, Coleman, and the other Federal journalists, not content with proclaiming him an ambitious, cunning, and deceitful demagogue, ridicule his scientific theories, shudder at his irreligion, sneer at his courage, and allude coarsely to his private morals in a manner more discreditable to themselves than to him; crowning all their accusations and innuendoes with a reckless profusion of epithet. While at the same times and places the whole company of the Democratic press, led by Bache, Duane, Cheetham, Freneau, asserted with equal energy that he was the greatest statesman, the profoundest philosopher, the very sun of republicanism, the abstract of all that was glorious in democracy. And if Abraham Bishop, of New Haven, Connecticut, compared him with Christ, a great many New Englanders of more note than Bishop, pronounced him the man of sin, a malignant manifestation of Satan. On one or the other of these two scales he was placed by every man in the United States, according to each citizen's modicum of sense and temper. We say, every man—because in that VOL. V. - 9 war of the Democrats against the Federalists, no one sought to escape the service. Every able-tongued man was ready to fight with it, either for Jefferson or against him. When Jefferson passed away triumphant, toleration set in. His enemies dropped him to turn upon living prey. They came to acquiesce in him, and even to quote him when he served their purpose. But the admiration of his followers did not abate. They canonized him as the apostle of American democracy, and gave his name to the peculiar form of the doctrine they professed. For many years the utterances of the master were conclusive to the common men of the party—better far than the arguments of any living leader. Of late we have heard less of him. The right wing of the democracy begin to doubt the expediency of the States' Rights theory; and with the wrong wing his standing has been injured by the famous passage on slavery in the 'Notes on Virginia.' The wrong wing of the Democratic party are the men who cry out for the 'Constitution as it is, and the Union as it was'—a cry full of sound and often of fury; but what does it signify? The first gun that was fired at Fort Sumter shattered [*Filed Jan 18 1864*] 130 Thomas Jefferson, as Seen by the Light of 1863. the old Union. If peace men and abolitionists, secessionists and conservatives were to agree together to restore the old Union to the status quo ante bellum, they could not do it. 'When an epoch is finished,' as Armand Carrel once wrote, 'the mould is broken, it cannot be made again.' All that can be done is to gather up the fragments, and to use them wisely in a new construction. An Indian neophyte came one day to the mission, shouting: 'Moses, Isaiah, Abraham, Christ, John the Baptist!' When out of breath, the brethren asked him what he meant. 'I mean a glass of cider.' If the peace party were as frank as the Indian, they would tell us that their cry signifies place, power, pelf. The prodigal sons of the South are to be lured back by promises of pardon, indemnification, niggers ad libitum, before they have satiated themselves with the husks which seem to have fallen to their portion, and are willing to confess that they have sinned against heaven and against their country. The arms of the peace men are open; the best robe, the ring, the fatted calf are ready. All that is asked in return is a Union (as it was) of votes, influence, and contributions, to place the party in power and to keep it there. These misguided Democrats owe to Jefferson the war cries they shout and the arms they are using against the Government. His works are an arsenal where these weapons of sedition are arranged ready for use, bright and in good order, and none of them as yet superseded by modern improvements. He first made excellent practice with the word 'unconstitutional,' an engine dangerous and terrible to the Administration against which it is worked; and of easy construction, for it can be prepared out of anything or nothing. Jefferson found it very effective in annoying and embarrassing the Government in his campaigns. But as he foresaw that the time must come when the Supreme Court of the United States would overpower this attack, he adapted, with great ingenuity, to party warfare the theory of States' Rights, which in 1787 had nearly smothered the Constitution in its cradle. This dangerous contrivance he used vigorously against the alien and sedition law, without considering that his blows were shaking the Union itself. Mr. Calhoun looked upon the Kentucky Resolutions (Jefferson's own work) as the bill of rights of nullification, and wrote for a copy of them in 1828 to use in preparing his manifesto of the grievances of South Caroline. It is unnecessary to allude to the triumph of these doctrines at the South under the name of secession. As Jefferson soon perceived that a well-disciplined band of needy expectants was the only sure resort in elections, he hit upon rotation in office as the cheapest and most stimulating method of paying the regular soldiers of party for their services (if successful) on these critical occasions. But as a wise general not only prepares his attack, but carefully secures a retreat in case his men push too far in the heat of conflict, Jefferson suggested the plan of an elective judiciary, which he foresaw might prove of great advantage to those whose zeal should outrun the law. He even recommended rebellion in popular governments as a political safety valve; and talked about Shay's War and the Whiskey Insurrection in the same vein and almost the same language that was lately used to the rioters of New York by their friends and fellow voters. And he and his followers shouted then, as their descendants shout now, 'Liberty is in danger!' 'The last earthly hope of republican institutions resides in our ranks!' Jefferson is also entitled to the credit of naturalizing in the United States the phrases of the French Revolution: virtue of the people; reason of the people; natural rights of man, etc. - that Babylonish dialect, as John Adams called it, which in France meant some- LCTHE CONTINENTAL MONTHLY: DEVOTED TO LITERATURE AND NATIONAL POLICY. VOL. V.--APRIL, 1864.--No. IV. SIR CHARLES LYELL ON THE ANTIQUITY OF MAN.* WHEN Thomas Chalmers, sixty years ago, lecturing at St. Andrews, ventured to announce his conviction that 'the writings of Moses d not fix the antiquity of the globe,' he startled and alarmed, to no small degree, the orthodoxy of the day. It was a statement far in advance of the religious thinking of the time. That massive breadth and comprehensiveness of intellect which soon placed him, facile princeps, at the head of the clergy of Scotland, joined with a candor, and ingenuous honesty, which made him admired and beloved by all, could not fail to perceive, and would not hesitate to acknowledge, the force of the evidence then for some time slowly but steadily and surely accumulating from the investigations and discoveries of geological science, which has forced back the origin of the earth to a vast and undated antiquity. But nothing could have been farther from the imagination of the great majority of evangelical, unscientific clergymen of his day. They held that the writings *THE GEOLOGICAL EVIDENCES OF THE ANTIQUITY OF MAN, with Remarks on Theories of the Origin of Species by Variation, By SIR CHARLES LYELL, F. R. S., Author of 'Principles of Geology,' Elements of Geology,' etc., etc. Illustrated by woodcuts. Philadelphia: George W. Childs, 628 and 630 Chestnut street. 1863. VOL. V.---25 of Moses fixed the antiquity of the globe as surely as they fixed anything else. And it required no little boldness in the lecturer to announce a doctrine which was likely to raise about his ears the hue and cry of heresy. But fortunately for the rising Boanerges of the Scottish pulpit, whatever questions might arise in philology and criticism as to the meaning of the writings of Moses, the evidence adduced in behalf of the fact of the earth's antiquity was of such a nature that it could not be resisted, and he not only escaped a prosecution for heresy, but lived to see the doctrine he had broached almost universally accepted by the religious world. If now some divine of acknowledged power and position in any branch of the Christian Church were to put forth the statement that 'the writings of Moses do not fix the antiquity of man,' he would startle the ear of orthodoxy quite as much, but no more than did Chalmers in the early years of the present century. And if he would fare more hardly than the Scottish divine, and fall under the ban of church censure, which is not unlikely, it would be because the evidence for the fact is still inchoate and resistible by the force of established[*Filed March 21. 1864*] 370 Sir Charles Lyell on the Antiquity of Man. opinion. But it is quite within the range of possible things that before the close of the present century two things may happen: first, that the evidence for a high antiquity of the human race may accumulate to such an extent as to carry with it involuntarily the consent of mankind; and second, that the sacred writings may be found to adjust themselves as easily to this new finding in the sphere of induction, as they have already done, in the general mind of the Church, to the doctrine of the great age of the earth. The two statements are indeed very much akin in several respects. They both traverse the accepted meaning of the sacred writings at the time of their announcement. Both are considered, when first promulged, as irreconcilable with the plain teaching and consequent inspiration of the Scriptures. Both rest solely, as to their evidence, in the sphere of inductive science, and are determinable wholly by the finding of facts accumulated and compared by the processes of inductive reasoning. And both, if thus established, are destined to be accepted by the general mind of the age, without actual harm to the real interests of civilization and religion. No fact, which is a fact and not an illusion, can do harm to any of the vital interests of mankind. No truth can stand in hopeless antagonism to any other truth. To suppose otherwise would be to resolve the moral government of God into a hopeless enigma, or enthrone a perpetual and hostile dualism, resigning the universe to the rival and contending sway of Ormuzd and Ahriman. Before proceeding to the merits of Sir Charles Lyell's discussion, we wish to glance at some preliminary matters touching the great debate now pending between science and theology. We wish to review the posture and temper of the parties; and particularly to refer to the tone and spirit of the religious press and the pulpit, respecting the alleged discoveries and claims of science, and their bearing upon the religious opinion of the time. Moreover, in passing, the present writer begs permission to say that he speaks from the orthodox side of this question; he hails from the orthodox camp; he wears the clerical vesture of the Scottish worthies; and is affiliated theologically with Knox and Chalmers, with Edwards and Alexander, with the New York Observer and the Princeton Review. This much we beg to say, that what follows in these pages may be fully understood. No one who has been attending to the subject with any degree of interest can have failed to observe that science, in her investigations upon the grand and momentous themes which have absorbed her attention in these latter years, has exhibited, and does still exhibit, a steady and well-defined purpose, and has pursued it with a singularly calm, sober, unimpassioned, yet resolute temper. Its posture is firm, steady, self-poised, conscious of rectitude, and anticipative of veritable and valuable results. Its spirit, though eager, is quiet; though enthusiastic, is cautious; though ardent, is sceptical; though flushed with success, is trained to the discipline of disappointment. Its object is to interrogate nature. It stands at the shrine and awaits the response of the oracle. It would fain interpret and make intelligible the wondrous hieroglyphics of this universe, and specially the mystic characters traced by the longing-revolving ages upon the stony tablets of this planet earth. It has in the first instance no creed to support, no dogmas to verify, no meaning to foist upon nature; its sole and single query is, What does nature teach? What is fact? What is truth? What has occurred in the past annals of this planet? What is the actual and true history of its bygone ages, and of the dwellers therein? These are its questions, addressed to nature by such methods as experience has taught will reach her ear, and it does not hesitateNumber 29. 25 Cents. THE CONTINENTAL MONTHLY.

Whenever any one can so play that the dots on the two exposed ends or divisions when added together will be five, or any multiple of five, he immediately scores that number to his credit on his record dial, and the game proceeds as before. This holds good as well on the first card played in a hand as at any other time. When any player goes domino the dots held by the other players are counted and scored the same as in the Match Game. This may be played with partners when four play. The Russian Game.—Mix the cards and let each player draw five, leaving a bank to draw from. Play from right to left. Match the cards together as in the Match Game. Whenever a player so plays that the sum of the two exposed divisions make five or a multiple of five he takes all the cards that have been played, and lays them by his side on the table, face up, and scores as follows:— First he has the five or multiple of five that the sum of the dots on the two exposed divisions made, and in addition all the dots or divisions bearing five which are not exposed, all the doubles which count equal to the full number of dots on them, and one for each of the other cards which are called single cards. Any card that has served to count in any other way cannot count as a single card. Thus the two end cards do not count as single cards, having been used to produce the five or multiple of five, but if one or both should have a five on the division not exposed, that five counts like any other five. Suppose player No. 1 forms a five or multiple and takes all the cards from the board, then player No. 2 plays such a card that the two ends of it form a five or multiple, as for instance a six four makes ten. Now player No. 2 cannot take that card off again and score ten, but it must remain until at least one card has been matched to it. When any one cannot play he must draw from the bank. When a player goes domino he has credit for all the cards held by his opponents, counted by the above rules, viz.: Every double counts equal to the number of dots on it. Every division having five dots counts five, and every card not otherwise counted, one for the card. The cards on the table when a person goes domino do not count at all unless the card last played formed a five or multiple. When any one goes domino that hand is finished. The party who first gains 100 wins. This may be played with partners when four play.Description of Five Games of Domino, Including Two New Games, and the very popular Russian Game Recently introduced in this country Domino blocks are common that it is merely necessary to say that all these games are played with the ordinary blocks or cards, which consist of 28 pieces, each card being divided into two divisions by a central cross bar. Each of these divisions bear a certain number of dots, from 1 to 6, or is blank. The two divisions on the same card are entirely independent of each other in the play. As the most interesting of these games require some means for keeping the account of each player as the game progresses, four record dials are provided, each having a rotary brass pointer which servers to very conveniently keep the account of these games of domino, and any other game in which it is necessary to keep a similar account. Before proceeding to describe the more interesting and difficult games it may to best to describe the simpler ones.[*Vol. 39. P. 539. Milton Bradley & Co. Propr. Aug. 10. 1864*] EXPLANATION. The Game of 21.--This is very simple and interesting for children, and is often used by older persons as a pleasant means of deciding the first play by lot. Having mixed the cards face down on the table, let each player draw one card at a time, and as many as he pleases, the object being to draw as nearly 21 dots as possible without exceeding that number. Thus if a player has drawn such cards that the dots amount to say 17, it is for his interest to draw another card if he can get one having 4 dots or less, but if he draws more than 4 he has more than 21 and loses, and the one that gets the nearest 21 without exceeding that number, wins. Match Game for Four Players.--Mix the cards as before. In commencing, decide the first play by lot, after which it goes by turn from right to left. One card having been played by laying it face up on the table, the player to the left must play a card one end of which will match one end of the one first played. Thus-- Suppose the card first played had 6 dots on one end and 4 on the other, then player No. 2 must play a card having either 6 or 4 on an end Suppose he has a six three that he wishes to play, he must place it on the table face up, and bring the six end in contact with the six end of the first card. Now the six is covered and the exposed ends are four and three one of which must be matched on to by the next player. The exposed ends only are to be matched on to. When a player has no card that will match either exposed end the play must pass to the next, and he will lose his turn. The one who first plays the last card which he holds in his hand goes domino and must say domino when he plays it.3. The two players sitting opposite are partners and are interested for each other. Now if one of the partners goes domino the dots remaining in the hands of the two opponents are counted and scored to the credit of the party one of whom has gone domino. Each dot counts one and if 12 dots are held altogether the winning party turns his brass pointer to 12 on the deal. This closes that hand, and the cards are to be mixed and drawn for a new hand as before explained. The party who first scores 100 wins the game. The cards having both ends alike are called doubles, thus the one having four dots on each end is double four. The one having no dots is double blank. The blank ends match like any others. It is a common practice in playing to turn the doubles crosswise in the line for the purpose of more readily distinguishing them, but the playing is the same as though they were laid in the ordinary way. In the match games it is well to play a double when it is possible, (other things being equal) as a double has only one chance to be played while others have two. Whenever no one can play it is called a block, in which case all the dots held in the hands are counted and the party holding the smallest number wins all held by the other party. In case of a tie the party who caused the block loses. Whenever a player holds a great number of one kind it is considered a good hand, as by judicious management he may prevent other players from playing, and thereby increase his chances of going domino. This may be played without partners, each individual on his own account, but is not as interesting. The Draw Match.--This is played like the Match Game except that it may be played by four or less, as follows ;--After mixing the cards each player takes five, leaving the remaining cards on the table, face down, which are called a bank. Now play according to the rules for Match Game except that when a player cannot play he must draw at random from the bank until he draws a card that he can play, or has drawn all the cards in the bank. After all the cards have been drawn from the bank the playing goes on the same as in the Match Game. When four play they may play as partners if desirable. The Game of Fives.--Four or less may play. Mix the cards as before. Each player draws five cards leaving a bank. In playing the cards must be matched as in the Match Games. First play goes fromESSAY ON MATRIMONY, BY THE PRINCESS DES CUBAS.

Robert, meantime, delivered his message to James, not however without Mr. Fulton hearing their conversation, though they were not aware of the fact. " Just a little bit fanatical that, I think; why, Warren must be full of business," said Mr. Fulton to himself. "After all, if that is the style of the thing, I don't think I can afford to be religious just yet. No doubt those boys would rather go to the levee tonight." Then he fell to thinking of the proof James had given of his integrity, and concluded with the decision that he could be trusted in business transactions; but how about pleasure? He would try him; so he called him, and said, " here is a ticket for the levee tonight; I believe in young people enjoying themselves." He had heard James talking with one of the other young workmen the day before, and knew he wished he could afford to go. If hePROGRESS; OR, THE SEQUEL TO JERRY AND HIS FRIENDS. BY ALICE A. DODGE.

"' Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and revealed them unto babes,'- that was what the parson quoted to me once, and that young man answered me well. It never struck me just so before that, if the Bible is true, it is vast assurance in me to dispute it, or even to neglect its teachings. So, the presumption may be on my side, and if so, it may be worse than mistake on the other side. For, even if the Bible is not to be trusted, it is not such great assurance, after all, to trust in God's love, which is shown in the very forming of our bodies and this beautiful world; I always contended for that.

The Almighty has no attribute which can take side with us in such a contest." What attribute of Almighty God would allow him to take the side of the oppressor? We ask only, and the answer settles the argument as to which side will succeed. Sunk far below the civil law, the words of the Roman poet concerning the poor Plebian, with a few alterations, belong to the American slave- Only leaving the poor negro his single tie to life, The sweet, sweet love of daughter, of sister, and of wife. The gentle speech, the balm for all his vexed soul endures, The kiss in which he half forgets even such a yoke as yours; Still let the maiden's beauty swell the father's heart with pride, Still let the bridegroom's arms enfold an unpolluted bride. Spare him the inexpiable wrong, the unnatural shame, That turns his human heart to steel, the white man's blood to flame. Lest when his latest hope is fled, you taste of his despair, And learn by proof, in some wild hour, how much the wretched dare. We have, in the body of this work, established the fact that the Southern slaveholders and their Northern abettors were the sole originators of the terrible war now raging. We will close the volume with James Madison's opinion, as set forth in the 2d vol., page 787 of Benton's Thirty Years in the Senate. Mr. Benton says " Mr. Madison was a Southern man, but his Southern home could not blind his mental vision as to the origin, design, and consequences of the slavery agitation. He gave to that agitation a Southern origin, to that design a disunion end, to that end disastrous consequences, both to South and North,"Filed Sept. 14. 1864HOW TO BE A HERO. BY E. L. E.

EASTLICK, IN MINNESOTA. LANCASTER, WIS.: HERALD BOOK AND JOB OFFICE. 1864.PREFACE. -- IN presenting this pamphlet to the public, I have given merely a plain, unvarnished statement of all the facts that came under my own observation, during the dreadful massacre of the settlers of Minnesota. Mine was only a single case among hundreds of similar instances. It is only from explicit and minute accounts from the pen of the sufferers themselves, that people living at this distance from the scene of those atrocities can arrive at any just and adequate conception of the fiendishness of the Indian character, or the extremities of pain, terror and distress endured by the victims. It can hardly be decided which were least unfortunate, those who met an immediate death at the hands of the savages, or the survivors who, after enduring tortures worse than death, from hunger, fear, fatigue, and wounds, at last escaped barely with life. My object in publishing my story is two-fold: I wish to inform the public as to the extent of the wrongs inflicted upon the innocent Minnesotians; and I also hope and expect to realize from the proceeds of its sale sufficient pecuniary aid to enable me to return from my temporary home in Grant County, Wisconsin, to my desolate home in Minnesota--to the region where I left the bodies of my husband and three children, on the bloody sod where they fell.

As in other books so also in Almanacs, the author writes the first part last. After he has toiled through the body of his work and has written the little word finis, which has stood as the goal of all his effort, he comes to his preface and surveys the field of his past labors. It is his cool evening after a hard day's work. Here he meets his friends and acknowledges their favors; tells them what his aims have been; asks them to excuse his faults; and thanks them for their kindly words and generous aid. So we would assemble our friends around us, and spend a happy hour in their society. Truly they make a goodly company of both sexes, and of nearly all ages. They come bringing their refreshments with them. They ask nothing of us but house room, and to that they are a thousand times welcome. They entertain themselves. They raise and answer curious questions in the science of numbers, they tax each other's wit in their "Propoundings;" they philosophize and poetize till the cock crows their departure. We take notes, and, with their consent, publish what they say and do. This feature in our little annual could hardly be dispensed with. In our fancy we see many a fire-side circle levelling their wits at the knotty "Puzzles," "Paradoxes," and "Enigmas," of our friends, and many a brain toils over their "Mathematical Questions," which seem to defy solution. We take no credit for all this; which is due to our friends. But we sincerely thank them and ask for a continuance of their favors. Their names, real or fictitious, will be found in connection with their contributions. If any have been omitted the blame must be charged to the printer, who by continually treading upon our heels, has sometimes produced states of trepidation which might excuse almost any delinquency. We promise to be faultless next year. "Union" writes us that he is dissatisfied with the solutions of the 4th Mathematical Question of 1863, and says, "I would like to have you solicit answers to that question next year, for I should like to see a true demonstration of it." We are satisfied that some of our correspondents are fully able to cope with that question, or rather with one essentially the same, and we fully concur with Union in doubting the correctness of the solutions given, and with "Mechanic" and others, who say that the latitude of the starting point must be given. It is entirely plain that the man's path will not be a semicircle, and "Union" says that he has by actual observation satisfied himself that the shadow of a vertical line does not move with uniform velocity.

C. Ye jolly sons of the ocean blue, I have a song to sing for you Of the Kearsarge and her gallant crew, And the pirate Alabama. These vessels met in the forenoon, On Sunday, the 19th day of June; And our Yankee gunners proved right soon, Too much for the Alabama. In half mile circles round they went- An hour and more broadsides were sent, Till through and through great holes were rent In the hull of the Alabama. Like blasts sent from the pit of hell Was the awful storm of shot and shell, Which from the guns of the Kearsarge fell On the fated Alabama. Her boiler by a solid shot Was burst, while steam was scalding hot, And shells were searching every spot Throughout the Alabama. The crew pell-mell all rushed on deck, Hauled down their flag, the fire to check; Confusion reigned upon the wreck Of the sinking Alabama. Then over board all hands did bound- The Captain swam from the Deerhound, A British yacht which had come round To help the Alabama. Captain Winslow haled her then, For help to save the drowning men, Not thinking her the chosen friend Of the pirate Alabama. Of course his aid was freely lent, Boats were lowered and quickly sent; Then with a plunge to the bottom went The far-famed Alabama. A number of the crew were brought With Captain Semmes aboard the yacht, Which away for a British horbor shot With her prize from the Alabama. Had our Yankee boys their treach'ry guessed They would not have stayed to save the rest, But to Davy Jones, had her expressed Along with the Alabama. Now the English channel long will be Remembered for this victory; Three cheers for the "Champion of the Sea" That sunk the Alabama. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1864, by R. B.

Außerdem wurde diesen Pianofortes die Erste Preis=Medaille auf der Großen Welt=Ausstellung in London im Jahre 1862 zuerkannt und zwar wegen ihres kraftvollen, klaren, brillianten und seelenvollen Tones sowie auch wegen der Vollkommenheit im Bau von Flügeln und tafelförmigen Pianofortes. Bei der oden erwähnten Londoner Ausstellung bewarben sich im Ganzen 269 Pianofortes aus allen Weltgegenden um den Preis, und der specielle Correspondent der Times sagt: "Das Zeugniß, welches die Geschworenen den Herren Steinway & Sons ausstellen, ist ein emphatisches und ein günstigeres und nachdrücklicheres, als irgend einem Europäischen Fabrikanten zu Theil wurde." "Dieser große Triumph, welchen Pianofortes amerikanischer Bauart in England geseiert haben, hat eine Sensation in allen musikalischen Kreisen auf dem ganzen Continent hervorgerufen, in Folge deren die Herren Steinway & Sons fortwährend Ordres für ihre Pianofortes empfangen, wodurch ein neuer Abschnitt in der Geschichte der amerikanischen Pianofortes beginnt, indem sie auf diese Weise zu einem Exportartikel erhoben werden." Jedes Pianoforte wird auf fünf Jahre garantirt. Verkaufslokal: No. 71 & 73 East 14.

The CABINET ORGAN combines the best qualities of the Melodeon and Harmonium, without their defects, embracing several important improvements and inventions, which secure greatly better quality and volume of tone, with a capacity of expression so admirable that the bellows of the instrument has been declared by a competent authority "to approach even the the human bellows-the lungs themselves" in this respect. Prominent among these is the Automatic Bellows Swell, patented October 21, 1862. More than one hundred and fifty of the most distinguished musicians of the country have given their written testimony to the superiority of these instruments to all others of their class, and to their great desirability for public and private use. Among those who have given this strong endorsement of them are such well known composers of church music as LOWELL MASON, WILLIAM B. BRADBURY, GEORGE F. ROOT, THOS.

I pray that they may learn, as many of you have, that it is a very wicked thing not to love that dear Jesus who "first loved us." Here is a letter from a little boy, whom I found, only a few weeks ago, in a children's inquiry-meeting, in Brooklyn, weeping and asking how he could get a new heart. He says, " I thought I loved Jesus, but found I was a great sinner." I will read it to you, and I trust the dear Christians present will be lifting up their hearts to God, that all here may find what great sinners they are, to reject the loving Saviour: - THE CHILD'S GUIDE TO HEAVEN.

If he has hold of Jesus, the first link of the "golden chain," he will find the second link to be, "holiness," and the third, "happiness." Yes, he will be a better and a happier boy. This little boy's face, to-day, like many others here, is lit up with a radiant joy that is far brighter than that which shone from the face of the little girl in London, when on her way home, and I trust the reason is, that he has, by faith, a strong hold on Jesus. I have no doubt, some of the parents here to-day scarcely believe that their children are enemies of the dear Saviour; perhaps they have never found out by experience that the Bible isLECTURES ON VENEREAL DISEASES.

Beloved __: You have this day, in the most solemn manner, put on Christ by the SACRED ORDINANCE OF Baptism. By that act you have confessed your faith in the DEATH, BURIAL, and RESURRECTION of our Lord Jesus Christ; and plighted your solemn vow that you will henceforth be his Disciple. As you are now to "walk in newness of life," be faithful in the discharge of all duties which your new relations impose. Be particularly observant of daily secret prayer; of prayer in your family (if you have a family); of the regular services of the House of God; of all the meetings of the CHURCH; and of the Communion of the Lord's Supper. Remember, also, "We are Laborers together with God," and "They that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and they that turn many to righteousness, as the stars forever and ever. ^"144. 3 672 159 864HOOLEY'S OPERA HOUSE SONGSTER: CONTAINING A CHOICE COLLECTION OF Sentimental, Comic, and Ethiopian Songs, AS SUNG BY D.

Wet]Filed Aug 29. 1864REBEL OUTRAGES IN TEXAS. THE people of the North have been loth to believe the tales of the cruelty and barbarism of our enemies from the very beginning of this armed contest. It has been said that many years must elapse before we can have a true history of this war. For the sake of humanity, we could wish that a true history of it might never be written. The atrocities of the French Revolution, in its worst days, are not exceeded in number and entirely surpassed in brutality by those perpetrated in many parts on Union men. When our troops entered Brownsville they found, still hanging on a tree, the body of Capt. Montgomery, who was seized in Matamoras, carried over and hung. In Texas they do not pretend to deny the fact. The editor of the Fort Brown Flag, speaking of the hanging of a Union man, remarked: "Timely notice was given all who did not indorse the war for Southern independence to leave the State and go beyond the lines of Confederacy. It is no fault of our people if they have not availed themselves of the opportunity. We cannot fully endorse such stringent measures, but the lesson must be taught that traitors cannot be tolerated among us." We give in this week's paper a series of views, illustrating the barbarities of the rebels, from sketches by Mr. Frederick Sumner, himself a victim of their cruelty and oppression. Mr. Sumner was a leader among the Union men at Sherman Grayson county, and when the troubles began these brave loyal men defied the Secessionists and kept a fine American flag, presented by Mr. Sumner, floating over their court house. The fire eaters were violent. They had already, in 1859 hung a northern clergyman, the Rev. Mr. Bula, at Dalton, on suspicion of being an abolitionist. Yet, on the question of secession, Grayson county gave 280 majority against a separation. But after the war opened the case of the Union men began to grow desperate. Twiggs had betrayed the United States troops into the hands of the rebels, and but little hope remained of immediate help from the Government. The murder of Mrs. Hillier showed them what was coming. Her husband had been brought before the Vigilance Committee of Park county, and ordered to enlist or prepare to be hung; but though he submitted, an incautious remark of his wife led to her arrest. Six of the Vigilance Committee, dressed in women's clothes, went to her house, dragged her out to the nearest tree, and, regardless of her cries for mercy and deaf to the pleadings of her children, hung her. The poor children remained there till next day watching the lifeless remains, when some neighbors came and took the body down to inter it. The loyal men then formed a secret Union League, but on the 1st Oct., 1862, the president, Jacob Lock, of Cook county, was arrested. A number assembled to rescue him, but the mob was so powerful that they durst not attempt it. Lock, with five companions, were hung the next day. The League had been betrayed and all the leaders suddenly seized. Thirty more were arrested and hung, and in a short time over 100 perished in this way. One night, as Boland and Young, the leaders in these cruelties, were riding near Gainesville, a party of Union men fired on them and Young fell dead. His son, a Captain in the rebel army, in revenge, caused 20 men to be hung the next day before breakfast. Mr. Sumner, finding it useless to remain, attempted to escape, and though followed for over 300 miles, reached Northern Arkansas safely, and was exulting in his escape when he was arrested on suspicion and sent to Little Rock. Here he was confined in a filthy and sickly prison, in a cage made of iron, the top and bottom being boiler plates, the sides bar iron A corn husk mattress and a few ragged blankets were his only covering. His food was of the most wretched description. He had been here about three months, when, on Jan. 20, 1863, 19 more Union men were marched in, heavily ironed hand and foot, and added to those already confined. To these new comers nothing was given for bedding. As may be supposed, death relieved some from the cruelty of these fiends. They steadily refused to enlist, which was offered constantly as a means of escape, but on the 20th of August were set free, their jailors being themselves anxious to escape from the advancing army of Justice and Right. The sufferings of the Union men in the Penitentiary at Little Rock were very great. They were dressed like the convicts and placed among them. At the least murmur or violation of rule the poor man, whose only crime was loyalty, would be stretched on the ground, stripped and flogged by a negro with a raw hide. Others were put in the stocks, the cross piece of which weighed 40 pounds. From the small size of the whole, this rested on the back of the neck and nearly suffocated the sufferer. They often became black in the face, and when released fell senseless to the ground. The mode of rousing the victim was a liberal application of the whip. The sick fared worse than the well. Death was their only comfort. A son of Mr. Payne, of Horsehead county, was seen to shed tears on learning of his father's death in his cell; for this he was taken out and received 75 lashes. Sixty-six of the prisoners had their legs and feet frozen one night, although there were blankets in sight of them. Many of these had to undergo amputation. This frightful case, with the deaths that followed, seems to have reached the conscience of even an Arkansas Legislature, and an act was passed to prevent men being sent to the Penitentiary, unless convicted by law.

As the matter now stands, with the loss of the Weldon road, the transfer of reinforcements from Lee to Hood, or from Hood to Lee, becomes a difficult operation, inasmuch as the limited capacity of the Danville line must be monopolized in the transportation of the necessary supplies to Richmond. Nor is this the worst of it to Gen; for the Danville road is now in greater danger than ever before, and we may be sure that Gen. Grant will not rest until he has reached it, or smoked his adversaries out into the open field to fight for it. Already in the struggle for the Weldon road we have corroboration of our views of June last, to wit--that in reality the elaborate fortifications of Richmond and Petersburg are of little value to the defence of those cities, while their subsistence depends upon the railroads which connect them with Georgia.

SHERMAN'S magnificently conducted Georgia campaign has at length been crowned with a decisive and comprehensive victory. The capture of Atlanta tells the welcome story. It practically demolishes the rebellion from Georgia to the Mississippi river, and reduces the fighting capacities of Jeff Davis to his armed forces in Virginia. In tapping the railroad leading South-westwardly, via West Point, to Montgomery, Alabama, after cutting the Augusta road, Gen. Sherman rendered the situation of Hood, within his strong encircling fortifications of Atlanta, exceedingly uncomfortable; but when for burying the rebel dead left on the field of Thursday's battle. The fact that the enemy did not do this, and also that they did not carry off their wounded, is palpable evidence that, although they drove back the 2d corps, they did not achieve a complete or creditable victory. SHERIDAN'S DEPARTMENT. Merritt's division of Gen. Torbert's cavalry came up to Bradley Johnson on the 28th, and after a sanguinary hand-to-hand fight drove him through and beyond Smithfield. On the 20th the enemy brought up infantry, but Sheridan sent up Rickett's division of Wright's 6th corps, whom the enemy withstood about five minutes. In his retreat up the valley Early was pursued by Sheridan with his whole army, and Averill attacked Vaughan's cavalry south of Martinsburg, capturing 20 wagons, two battle flags, many prisoners and a herd of cattle. SOUTH CAROLINA. The steamer Crescent was recently sent down under convoy of the Admiral carrying 600 rebel officers to place under fire, but the captain, when off Cape Romane, treacherously attempted to run her ashore. One rebel officer did, in fact, escape. The captain is under trial. proprietors, with their families, are taking refuge in the forts. The Indians have white leaders, and are better armed than U.S. troops or the militia, as was proved in a recent fight where they inflicted serious damage, while our men were unable to reach them with the guns in their hands. NAVAL. The Tallahassee, after plundering and destroying along our coast, ran into Halifax, coaled, and doubtless transacted other business. She then started back to Wilmington, and, in spite of the efforts of our blockaders, ran in, and now lies under the guns of Fort Fisher, giving and receiving a salute as she steamed in. Another privateer entered, and was saluted by Fort Caswell. The Nicholas Biddle, of New York, was burned off the Brazilian coast by the Florida. FOREIGN NEWS.

From the James river to the Mississippi, from the Appomattox to the Chattahoochee, from the mountains of the Tennessee to the waters of Mobile bay, the salvos of victory from the heroic soldiers and sailors of the Union are answering each other. The military situation has never been so good, the final issue never so clear as now, and all the political developments and signs of the times, East and West, North and South, are equally encouraging. The wail of agony which comes up from the rebel capital over the fall of Atlanta tells more impressively than facts and figures can the deadly character of the blow which has there been given to the reeling Southern despotism of Jeff Davis. The desperate but futile efforts of Gen. Lee to extricate himself from the inflexible grasp of Gen. Grant, show that the fate of Vicksburg or Chattanooga is settling over Richmond. In a word, the rebel leaders war. With the peace-at-any-cost faction may do in the premises is a matter of small concern. It is enough that by Gen. McClellan's letter they are disarmed and rendered powerless for further mischief. We therefore congratulate the country that the one essential mentioned by Gen. Grant as demanded for the complete success of the Union cause - a "unity of sentiment North," is substantially secured; for whatever may be the result of the Presidential struggle, the question of a Southern Confederacy on any terms and the peace-at-any-price faction of the North are practically thrown out of the canvass. Jeff Davis can have no further interest in the success of the Chicago ticket, his ultimatum being "Southern independence or Southern extermination." His Northern adherents are set aside. They can have no interest in fomenting "a counter revolution" which promises no compensations The war, in any event, will be prosecuted to the ultimatum of one Government for the North and South under the Longstreet now holds the extreme right of the enemy's line between Weldon road and Hill's corps. SHERIDAN'S ARMY. Sheridan reached Berryville on the 2d. The 23d Ohio was sent out on Sinkert Ferry road, and the 36th Ohio on Winchester pike, running to the right from Berryville. Crook's command went into camp, and had just finished pitching tents at about 4 o'clock, when heavy skirmishing was heard on the picket line. The whole command rapidly turned out, and was formed and moved to the support of the pickets, who had been driven from behind some entrenchments which they occupied. The 36th Ohio and 9th Virginia were formed, and charged the enemy, driving them out of the entrenchments. A desperate struggle now ensued, the rebels being determined, if possible, to regain possession of the entrenchments. With this object in view, they massed no less than two divisions, and hurled them with their accustomed ferocity against our gallant little band, which was supported by both Duvall's and Thoburn's divisions. They were handsomely repulsed every time they charged. The conflict lasted long after the sun had sat and artillery naval forces a long time ago captured by the rebels, and who are confined in Texas. The Tallahassee, in her brief career, destroyed nearly 40 vessels. FOREIGN NEWS. Another of the famous rebel privateers, the Georgia has come to grief.

The Georgia, when seized, was under the British flag, and her captain entered a protest against her seizure. It is reported that general satisfaction was expressed in London at the capture, though there was much difference of opinion as to its legality. The London press seems to consider the seizure of the Georgia as perfectly regular, and quotes a decision of Lord Stowell in a case exactly similar.

This idea has apparently taken a firm hold upon the public mind ; for to the extent of our observation, notwithstanding certain outward shows of general extravagance, thinking men and women of all classes are beginning to practice the virtues of a sagacious economy. They are wisely calculating what may be advantageously saved in provisions, fuel, clothing, etc. ; and in the consumption of luxuries there is, we are sure, in the aggregate, a reduction which would show that the rule of retrenchment is gaining a foothold throughout the community. Economy is really beginning to be considered a credible novelty as a private duty, and especially when justified by the plea that extravagant outlays now are foolish, in view of the better times that are surely coming.

There is something wonderful in the idea of a country involved in the very depths of a civil war, and yet existing in the highest state of prosperity. This is simply the case with these Northern United States. In spite of all the drain upon our population, the consequent scarcity of labor, the derangement of the currency, and the expenditure of wealth, we never were more prosperous or felt ourselves richer as a people than now. The hoarded wealth of a lifetime has come forth from the closets and chests of sturdy farmers, to be paid out in bounties for the men who are going to fight our battles in the field, and the whole lands teems with money. Crops are overflowing, mechanics are busy, factories are producing heavily, and no pair of hands need to be unoccupied with paying employment unless they choose. Never before were more magnificent goods imported than now, or find readier purchasers; never did all the articles of luxury stand a better chance of being consumed, or the people more readily open their pockets for the acquisition of whatever is for sale. New York is once more in town, after astonishing all the country with its outpouring treasure, and Broadway is rich with silks and satins, and sparkling with ruddy faces and healthful eyes.

Grant's principal army a large force to watch the movements of Early; it held the Shenandoah valley and its supplies for the uses of Lee's forces around Richmond; it protected that city on the north side, and Lynchburg on the west, the most important depot of supplies now remaining to Lee; while in holding the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, Early materially interfered with the transportation of supplies and reinforcements to Gen. Grant from the West. Now, with the overthrow and dispersion of Early's veteran fighting and defiant "Stonewall" corps, we of the Union side recover the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, the absolute possession of the Shenandoah valley, all the gaps and passes in the Blue Ridge chain of mountains leading to the north side of Richmond, and an open way up the valley to Lexington, and across the mountains from into the Shenandoah valley, and routing Milroy from Winchester, captured their ammunition, artillery and supplies of all kinds, without which Lee's defeat at Gettysburg would again have involved the destruction of his army. In 1864 the misfortunes of Sigel and Hunter in the Shenandoah valley not only retarded the direct operations of Gen. Grant against Richmond, but brought down Gen. Early upon his late destructive raid into Pennsylvania and Maryland, and to the very gates of Washington. To Gen. Sheridan, under Gen. Grant's admirable arrangements, belongs the honor of retrieving all these misfortunes, and of making his campaign in the Shenandoah valley as decisive against Richmond as all our preceding operations in that quarter had resulted to the security of Jeff Davis in his chosen capital.

The results of this magnificent victory of Sheridan's, as far as yet ascertained, are a loss to the rebels of five general officers and 2,000 men killed, three general officers and 3,000 men wounded, 5,000 prisoners, 15 battle flags and five pieces of artillery. The rebel generals killed were Rhodes, Gordon, Wharton, Ramseur and Imboden. Our losses are not yet fully ascertained, but are estimated at 2,000. We had Gen. Russel, commanding a division in the 6th corps, killed, and Gens. Upton, McIntosh and Chapman wounded. All the enemy's dead and wounded fall into the hands of our army. Sheridan did not stop to rest, but pushed his cavalry in hot pursuit, and followed in force. On Tuesday afternoon, Sept. 20, he crossed Cedar creek, 30 miles from the battlefield. A portion of the rebel cavalry which turned off to Front Royal were pursued, attacked and routed. Miss. Forrest's, Taylor's, Gibson's and Wirt Adams's troops were encamped around that city for several miles. The force was estimated at 20,000 men, with extensive wagon, ponton and artillery trains.

With regard to the other, we will limit ourselves to remarking that, in order to successfully at- tack a point defended by a garrison, the besieging party always requires two or three times as great a force as the besieged. Consequently, where the enemy detaches one man for the defence of a point, you must detach two or three to attack it; the result of which is, that you weaken yourself and not the enemy. At Vicksburgh, Grant's forces outnumbered the enemy's by three or four to one; and we know how long that siege lasted. If to this be added the enormous expense entailed upon the Government by the charter- ing of vessels for the transportation of troops, as ap- [?ears] from the extravagant contracts revealed by a [?cent investigation into a certain quartermaster's ac- counts, for which the Government has been justly cen- serve forces were to support him in the rear.

It reveals an incoher- ence of ideas, a lack of experience, and an ignorance of the elementary principles of the profession, only to be surpassed by the presumption of its author, which ought clearly to have presaged future events--that is, had his acts been judged by men more versed and in- experienced than himself in military science. In the latter part of October, McClellan addressed a letter to the Secretary of War, in which we remark the following passage: "But two courses are left to the Government: namely, either to go into winter quar- McClellan next fixes the force of the two armies in the following manner: The forces of the enemy he es- timates at one hundred and fifty thousand men, well armed, well equipped, well disciplined, and strongly intrenched; and the strength of our army at one hun- dred and sixty-eight thousand, of whom he sets down one hundred and forty-seven thousand six hundred and ninety-five as fit for duty, and two hundred and twen- ty-eight field-pieces, together with forty-eight more en route, making a total of two hundred and seventy-six guns. Then follows a long tirade of complaints, re- sulting in showing that out of his one hundred and sixty-eight thousand, only seventy-six thousand two hundred and eighty-five are disposable for an advance.

This unfortunate affair ought to be looked upon from two distinct points of view—that of the responsibility of the Commander-in-Chief, and that of the responsibility of the subordinate. The following order from General McClellan is certainly the source of all the evil, and consequently, the principal culprit: "On Sunday, the twentieth, General McClellan directed a telegram to be sent to General Stone, at Poolesville, of which the following is [?] furnished your Committee above all, its practicability. McClellan's duty was to mount his horse after the first dispatch, and go to assure himself of the state of things. It must not, be lost sight of, that, at the outset of a campaign, the first, stop in which had been a defeat, and in which a second might have, as it did, great moral consequences, McClellan did not repair to the field of battle until the twenty-second, the day after the combat, and after having given an order which might lead to the loss of Stone's last man. On the whole, this affair, to sum it up a word, is equally worthless in conception and in execution. McClellan caused the disaster by an obscure order, leaving to a subordinate the duty of interpretation, and by his want of promptness, resolution, and energy in repairing the consequences of what he calls a misinterpretation of his orders, and Stone gave the finishing stroke by his stupid tactics and measures in our country; we have established a custom-house on the frontiers, and we only let smart people in." "Oh!" said the lady, "there must a little smuggling." This discussion, which took place as early as the month of August, 1776, revealed internal divisions to Congress. Not to dash against insurmountable obstacles, they took the measure of adjourning the articles of confederation. The question was allowed to rest. Serious decisions were not made until 1777, and the articles of confederation were only ended in the month of November, 1778. Eleven States accepted them without discussion. There were two, Delaware and Maryland, who rejected them, so that it was necessary to wait until 1781 for the definitive adoption of this Charta of America. This Charta was very short. It is easily to be seen therein that the question is as to a confederation such as had always been seen up to thatThe New Nation A POLITICAL, MILITARY, AND LITERARY JOURNAL. Vol. II. - No. 10.

In this way, the hierarchy of families, genera, etc., is nothing more or less than the expression of a series of general facts coordinated and divided into different orders of agreement more and more conformable and particular. Classification is in this case, the philosophic expression of the science-- to understand the one is to understand the other, at least in its most important part. This principle is applicable to any science whatever. Thus political science, in constituting itself at the epoch of its discovery, employment, and unification, should profit by this philosophic idea, found by the other sciences, by taking it for its guide in its distribution of the divers epochs of civilization. This motives for disposing the different epochs of civilization according to their natural affinities, in the general history of the human species, are precisely tion of the transition. This epoch is the period of criticism and argumentation and polemics. In a temporal aspect, industry extends itself, without being predominant. Society is not yet avowedly industrial, although it is no longer openly military in its aim. Social relations are modified; individual slavery commences to obtain certain rights from military chieftains, and ends by acquiring total abolition of the individual slavery of the producing class, although they remain subject to a collective degradation. Meantime the general social relations begin to be modified. Industry is protected as a means of war, and augments its importance so far as to become predominant, when war, in its turn, is systematized into a means of protecting industry, which is the final result of this intermediate régime. principle as it is revolting in its consequences, is a senseless result of the philosophy of the last century, from the influence of which, it is deplorable that a man like Condorcet could not escape. This absurdity, born of the impotence to perceive in all its principal parts the links of the chain which connects social phenomena, renders the development of civilization inexplicable, and involves Condorcet in continued contradictions. On the one hand, he proclaims that the state of civilization in the eighteenth century is infinitely superior to that of the infancy of society. Now, this total progress must be the sum of the partial progress made by civilization in all preceding intermediate stages. Yet, on the other hand, in examining these intermediate stages, Condorcet presents them, almost always, as having been essentially[*Nourse, Eaton & Tolman. Proprietors Aug. 11th. 1864. Vol. 39.

But though our little rag-picker was a warm-hearted, loving child, she knew nothing about God, nor about the dear Saviour, who came into the world. So she only put her arms round him and said, "I love ye, daddy, I do." Even this made the man feel much better. His face grew soft as he gazed at her, and his breast heaved as he said, "After all, Dilly, I'd be worse off without ye; and now as we can't do any more here to-day, we will go home."

Chorus. Then a little less niggar, do, O do; a little less niggar, do! A little less niggar for the soldier; a little less niggar, do! We want to save the Union, for that we went to fight-- for that we still will struggle and toil, both day and night. We do not mind the danger, on neither land nor sea, But we ask it as a favor, just let the niggar be. Chorus. Then a little less niggar, do, O do; a little less niggar, do! A little less niggar for the soldier; a little less niggar, do! With Little Mac to lead us, on to Richmond we would go, And there we'd die, if needs be, to lay secession low; For we love the "Starry Banner--the emblem of the free;" But, we ask it as a favor, just let the niggar be. Chorus. Then a little less niggar, do, O do; a little less niggar, do! A little less nigger for the soldier; a little less niggar, do! Old Abe, we know you're honest, but then, to plainly speak, As a chieftain, and our leader, your mind is far too weak; Or, else you must be blinded, and cannot plainly see, For we're sure it would be better to let the nigger be. Chorus. Then a little less niggar, do, O do; a little less niggar, do! A little less niggar for the soldier; a little less niggar, do! We have told you this quite often, and yet you will not heed; So, now, we have concluded to take you from the lead, And to put into the traces one who can plainly see That we can save the Union and let the nigger be. Chorus. Then a little less niggar, do, O do; a little less niggar, do! A little less niggar for the soldier; a little less niggar, do! Then farewell, Uncle Abra'm, we set you now aside And take up for our leader the soldier's honest pride; Then hurrah for McClellan! for McClellan is the man-- Now come on, Uncle Abra'm, and beat him if you can.

I know a man, and, I'm sorry to say, A Ninth Ward man is he ; For of all the rank copperheads of our day A "worser" there never can be, be, be, A "worser" there never can be. CHORUS, - "Simon the Cellarer." While ho! ho! ho! he chuckles and crows, But what he is laughing at, nobody knows. He's afraid (!) his "dear Constitution" is dead, He's afraid (!) the war will fail ; But Chicago sticks out, from the top of hes head Right down to the tip of his tail, tail, tail, Right down to the tip of his tail. And ho! ho! ho! the war he can't "go," For it's not Con-sti-tu-tion-al, O dear, no. He reads the World and the Daily News, And takes the Express at night, Till he feels so proud of his coppery hues, He struts with his tail upright, right, right, He struts with his tail upright. But ho! ho! ho! tho' hard he may "blow" You'll find there'll be "nobody hurt," O no. He says "Little Mac" to the White House will go, And "Abraham" be done brown ; But October Elections have ' flank'd" him so, He sneaks with his tail hanging down, down, down, He sneaks with his tail hanging down. And ho! ho! ho! November will show That even New Jersey for "ABE" will go. At "Suspension of Habeas Corpus" he drums-- At "Emancipation" he'll scoff ; But as sure as the Eighth of November comes, We'll "suspend" him, and cut his tail off. And ho! ho! ho! it's then he will know, How DISUNION with his constitution will go. And when he no longer a tale can unlold, He'll after an "armistlce" jump, That his head and his tale a "convention" may hold, But we'll let him remain on the stump, stump, stump, We'll let him remain on the stump. Then ho! ho! ho! let him wholesale go, Eor you never can re-tail him, O no, no. MORAL. Now let ye Copperhead warning take, And learn from this stern case To present not a front which entails us to make So distressing a change of base, base, base, So distressing a change of base.

White, in the Clerk's Office of the United States for the Southern District of New York. Who Is Responsible for the War? EXTRACTS from a Speech by ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS [now Vice-President of the Confederate States], delivered in the Secession Convention of Georgia, on the 31st day of January, 1861. This step [the secession of Georgia], once taken, can never be recalled ; and all the baleful and withering consequences that must follow [as you will see] will rest on the Convention for all coming time. When we and our posterity shall see our lovely South desolated by the demon of war, which this act of yours will inevitably invite and call forth; when our green fields of waving harvests shall be trodden down by the murderous soldiery and fiery car of war sweeping over our land-- our temples of justice laid in ashes, all the horrors and desolations of war upon us-- who but this Convention will be held responsible for it? and who but him who shall have given his vote for this unwise and ill-timed measure [as I honestly think and believe] shall be held to strict account for this suicidal act, by the present generation, and probably cursed and execrated by posterity for all coming time, for the wide and desolating ruin that will inevitably follow this act you now propose to perpetrate? 'Pause, I entreat you, and consider for a moment what reasons you can give that will even satisfy yourselves in calmer moments; what reasons you can give to your fellow-sufferers in the calamity that it will bring upon us. What reason can you give to the nations of the earth to justify it? They will be the calm and deliberate judges in the case ; and to what cause or one overt act can you name or point, on which to rest the plea of justification? What right has the North assailed? what justice has been denied? and what claim, founded in justice and right, has been withheld? Can either of you to-day name one governmental act of wrong deliberately and purposely done by the Government of Washington, of which the South has a right to complain? I challenge the answer ! While, on the other hand, let me show the facts [and, believe me, gentlemen, I am not here the advocate of the North ; but I am here the friend, the firm friend and lover of the South and her institutions ; and for this reason I speak thus plainly and faithfully for yours, mine, and every other man's interest the words of truth and soberness] of which I wish you to judge, and I will only state facts which are clear and undeniable, and which now stand as records authentic in the history of our country. "When we of the south demanded the slave-trade, or the importation of Africans for the cultivation of our lands, did they not yield the right for twenty years ? When we asked a three-fifths representation in Congress for our slaves, was it not granted? When we asked and demanded the return of any fugitive from justice, or the recovery of those persons owing labor allegiance, was it not incorporated in the Constitution, and again ratified and strengthened in the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850. "But do you reply that, in many instances, they have violated this compact, and have not been faithful to their engagements ? As individuals and local communities, they may have done so ; but not by the sanction of Government: for that has always been true to Southern interests. Again, gentlemen, look at another fact. When we have asked that more territory should be added, that we might spread the institution of slavery, have they not yielded to our demands in giving us Louisiana, Florida, and Texas? -- out of which four States have been carved, and ample territory for four more to be added in due time, if you, by this unwise and impolitic act, do not destroy this hope, and perhaps by it lose all, and have your last slave wrenched from you by stern military rule, as South America and Mexico were; or by the vindictive decree of a universal emancipation, which may reasonably be expected to follow. "But again, gentlemen, what have we to gain by this proposed change of our relation to the General Government? We have always had the control of it; and can yet, if we remain in it, and are as united as we have been We have had a majority of the Presidents chosen from the South, as well as the control and management of most of those chosen from the North. We have had sixty years of Southern Presidents to their twenty-four ; thus controlling the Executive department. So of the Judges of the Supreme Court; we have had eighteen from the South, and but eleven from the North. Although nearly four-fifths of the judicial business has arisen in the Free States, yet a majority of the Court has always been from the South. This we have required, so as to guard against any interpretation of the Constitution unfavorable to us. In like manner, we have been equally watchful to guard our interests in the [??] ing the presiding Presidents [ pro tem. ] of the Senate, we have had twenty-four to their eleven. Speakers of the House--we have had twenty-three, and they twelve. While the majority of the representative, from their greater population, have always been from the North, yet we have so generally secured the Speaker, because he, to a great extent, shapes and controls the legislation of the country. Nor have we had less control in every other department of the General Government. Attorney-Generals--we have had fourteen, while the North have had but five. Foreign ministers-- we have had eighty-six, and they but fifty-four. While three-fourths of the business which demands diplomatic agents abroad is clearly from the Free States, from their greater commercial interest, yet we have had the principal embassies, so as to secure the world-markets for our cotton, tobacco, and sugar, on the best possible terms. We have had a vast majority of the higher offices of both army and navy, while a larger proportion of the soldiers and sailors were drawn from the North. Equally so of clerks, auditors, and comptrollers filling the Executive department; the records show for the last fifty years that, of the three thousand thus employed, we have had more than two-thirds ofFiled Oct. 21. 1864THE LITTLE REBEL.

THIS volume is intended to be a Record of the Legislation, and the general Political History of the United States, for the last four years—a period of unexampled activity and of singularly deep interest and importance, whether reference be had to the vast material interests involved in the stupendous struggle, or the precedents, principles, and measures which the Convulsion has produced. It is further intended to be a Record rather of those salient facts which embody or illustrate principles, than of those which relate to men or parties, and hence have transient and inferior significance. So abundant have been the materials, that compression has been a necessity. Selection has been made with the purpose of presenting, fully and fairly, the facts as they re, and the agencies by which they came—viewing all else as subordinate. The first Ninety pages are devoted to the period of Secession, and contain a narrative of the successive steps in the movement in each State, in chronological order ; also, the elaborate justifying papers of the South Carolina Convention, with counter-selections from other authorities ; together with a condensation of the various propositions of Adjustment made in or out of Congress and the vote upon each taken in either body, and the various Official Papers of the day tending to show the relations of the parties, the wrongs complained of, and the remedies proposed. Closely examining this Record, it is difficult for a candid person to escape the conviction that Adjustment was hopeless—Revolution being the predetermined purpose of the reckless men who had obtained control of the State machinery of most of the slaveholding States. This conviction will be strengthened by study of what has since transpired. It will be remembered that the Thirty-Sixth Congress proposed permanently to settle the security of slavery in the slaveholding States by an amendment of the Constitution, which was adopted by a two-thirds vote in each House. And that it completely disposed of the Territorial feature of the difficulties by agreeing upon, and almost unanimously passing, bills organizing Territories covering the entire area owned by the Government. The record of these two important historical facts is given within. They have great significance is establishing the character of the Rebellion. iiiiv PREFACE. The copy of the Constitution of the United States is believed to strictly accurate in text and punctuation, which, it is understood, can be said of only one other copy in print- that in the work known as Hickey's Constitution. The statement if the differences between it and the Rebel Constitution has been made with extreme care. The common index to the two instruments shows, at a glance, wherein they differ, and will be found both interesting and convenient- the whole chapter possessing special value to large classes of persons. In presenting the facts upon each subject of legislation, the general plan has been : first, to state the result reached, with final votes ; and, then, such proceedings, in the intermediate stages, as are of adequate importance, or necessary to explain the position of Members. This preparation involved constant selection, concerning which there may be differences of opinion- some thinking that too much detail on one subject is given ; others, too little of another. In all cases the rule stated, governed. As far as it has been possible to obtain the Rebel legislation on the same or corresponding subjects it has been added, with such of their orders and proclamations as were connected with them. A comparison of the two and the dates of enactment or issue, will prove of service in dispelling delusions and correcting general misconceptions. Besides the legislation proper, the volume contains, in a classified form, all the Messages, Proclamations, Orders, Correspondence, and Addresses of the President ; the Diplomacy of the Secretary of State ; valuable letters and papers from the Secretaries of the Treasury, of War, of the Navy, of the Interior, and from the Postmaster General ; Opinions of the Attorney General upon permanent public questions ; those of the Orders of Commanding Officers which are within the scope of the work ; the Decisions of the Courts ; and such other data as properly belong therein-- the whole forming a multitudinous mass of facts, to any one of which the classification adopted, and the copious index appended, will, it is hoped, make it easy to refer. The votes by Yeas and Nays have been carefully compared with the Official Journals of Congress. In preparing these lists, the names of those persons have, for comparison's sake, been italicized, who were elected by, or were at the time generally co-operating with, the Democratic party. All others are in roman. Under "Our Foreign Relations" will be found much of permanent value, as well as of current interest and dispute. The chapter on the "Conspiracy of Disunion" contains several very interesting documents, chief of which are the extract from U. S. Senator Maclay's journal of 1789, recording, probably, the first threat of disunion uttered in Congress, and upon a subject which remained a matter of complaint in some quarters down to the period of Secession ; and the Minutes of the Proceedings of the Police Commissioners of Baltimore in 1861, one of the most flagrant as well as one of the latest outbursts of treason. Other portions of this chapter will richly bear examination. I greatly regret that want of space has required the omission of many other facts, gathered fromPreface. v our political history, tending to reveal the true character of this foul conspiracy against Liberty, this crime against Humanity. The lists of the organization of the Rebel "Provisional" and "Permanent" Government have been made up from every accessible source, and, though not complete, are more nearly so than any other yet published north of the Potomac, and as nearly so as present facilities afford. They are the result of careful and extensive examination. As a matter of interest, the names of those of the conspirators who were once members of the Congress of the Union have been put in italic. This work was undertaken a few months ago without a realizing sense of the labor it involved. I can scarely hope to have escaped errors, both of omission and commission, but have striven to make it fair, impartial, and truthful. It deals with the most momentous events of this Century, which will be studied while civil Government exists. I trust that the volume will be of service to those consulting it, and that its general effect will be to help strengthen the purpose of the American people to maintain their Unity, their Freedom, and their Power.

McSORLEY, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York. Come all you gallant democrats, and listen for a while, 'Twill ruffle nigger-lovers, but cause you all to smile, They'd sacrifice all principles, and over us they'd ride, While worshipping the nigger, they'd let the Union slide. Hurrah for the Union, hurrah for the Union. Hurrah for the Union, and the gallant little Mac. God save our noble country, it is the people's cry, While the fundamental joker, blandly wipes his eye; We'll stand by the constitution, we want no party hack, So we all will pull together, and go for little Mac. CHORUS. He led his noble army of Antietam's bloody field, And he battled for the Union, to make the rebels yield, 'Til owld Abe, the rail-splitter, relieved him from command, But we'll show him our devotion, and by him we will stand. CHORUS. The wild cat lawyer called him twice, to save our Washington, And then again removed him, when his noble work was done, But we don't forget the insult, for President he'll be, Then stand back abolitionists, in this land of liberty. CHORUS. We've had no gallant captain to guide our ship of state, With her colors going down, they would leave her to her fate, But better men are wanted, the people all do say, If we stand by little Mac, we will surely win the day, CHORUS. We had a splendid navy once, and men that could command, But a change has now come o'er it, how are you Gideon's band? We were masters of the ocean, our flag did nobly wave, If you go for little Mac, he will its pride and colors save. CHORUS. We'll chase away all greenbacks, and gather in our gold, And then we will prosper, as in the days of old; So rally boys, rally, we'll make them clear the track, For we'll jump into the wagon, and ride with little Mac. CHORUS. He is our gallant leader, our nation's only hope, The people are all for him, old Abe thinks it's but a joke; But election day will prove, that we never will go back, Then hurrah for our champion, our gallant little Mac.

Ah yes, I see the sunshine play, I hear the robin's cheerful call, But I am thinking of the day My darling left me—that is all. I do not grieve for her—ah no! To her the way is clear, I trust; But for myself I grieve, so low, So weak, so in, and of the dust. And for my sadness I am sad— I would be gay if so I might, But she was all the joy I had— My life, my love, my heart's delight. We came together to the door Of our sweet home that is to be, And knocking, she went in before, To put on marriage robes for me. 'Tis weary work to wait so long, But true love knows not how to doubt; God's wisdom fashions seeming wrong, That we may find right meanings out. THE FAMILY SECRET. BY ELIZA A. DUPUY, AUTHOR OF "THE WARNING VOICE," "THE WHITE TERROR," "THE LOST DEEDS," ETC., ETC. CHAPTER IX. SISTER MARIA'S VISIT TO COLONNA CASTLE. The Marquis remained alone buried in deep thought. The possibility of separating Lucia from his son so effectually as to preclude all chance of a future union between them, had been suggested by the proposal of Baldoni. Why should he not marry her himself, and thus ensure her remaining at the Castle while his life lasted? The ceremony would be a mere form which would entitle her to the position of Marchioness of Colonna, and a suitable provision hereafter. This, he could make without material injury to the fortune of his younger son, and as the old man reflected on the plan, it grew more and more into his favor. He would not startle Lucia by the premature disclosure of his intentions; he would intercept the letters of Vittorio, and wait till her heart was sick with fruitless expectation, before he ventured on the execution of his scheme. He knew that he was nearly seventy; so infirm as to be unable to move without assistance, but he also knew that he was a nobleman—of high position and vast wealth, and he believed that when all hope of a future union with Vittorio was destroyed, Lucia would accept the protection of his home, and the honor of bearing his name. He could marry her without compromising any interest, but Vittorio, with only the portion of a younger son, must bestow his hand upon a wealthy bride. After meditating on this new wrong, and arranging his future plans to his satisfaction, the Marquis rang his bell, which was promptly responded to by the appearance of Lucia. She looked pale, and dispirited, and he could detect the traces of recent tears in her eyes, but he took no notice of these evidences of suffering. In his usual kind tone he said: "I have been engaged to-day, and have not needed you as much as usual, Lucia. Come sit near me, and read aloud. I think the measured tones of your voice will soothe my nerves, and lull me to sleep. The late excitement I have endured has quite upset me; I cannot bear music to day; but your sweetly modulated voice always acts as a charm upon me." "What shall I read, Senor?" she asked. "There is Dante. I believe I am in the humor to descend into the Inferno to-day, so you may turn to the description of that place which had inscribed upon its portal, 'Let hope not enter here.'" Lucia glanced at him as if trying to discover if his words possessed any covert meaning; but he was reclining in his luxurious chair in such a position as partially concealed his acute old face from observation. She silently took the volume to which he pointed, and placing herself on a low seat at his feet began to read with such truth and pathos as showed that she felt every line she uttered. At intervals the Marquis muttered, "Grand," "Terrible"--"Sublime;" but gradually he sank farther and farther back in his chair, till his head rested on the cushions that supported his back, and his breathing showed that he was sleeping heavily. Lucia regarded him attentively, then closing the book, clasped her hands despondently, and gave herself up to the doubts and fears that were rapidly extinguishing hope in her heart. With the departure of Vittorio, the sanguine hope of future reunion which he had breathed into her ear, completely died away. She reviewed their position, and she could see no possibility that the Marquis would ever be brought to consent to the marriage of his darling and pride, to a nameless, and portionless girl like herself. Without his sanction, Lucia knew it would bring ruin on her lover to make her his own. She was generous to a fault; she felt the deepest gratitude to the Colonna family for the kindness they had lavished on her, and she felt that it would be impossible for her to place herself as a bar to the prosperity of its most dearly prized member. No--bitter as the conviction was, she knew that she would not be spared this fiery trial, and she shuddered at the thought of all she must lose in giving up the first love of her young heart. While she thus sat, dreaming on the haplessness of her earthly lot, the window was suddenly darkened, and looking up she saw the face of a strange woman within a few yards of herself. For an instant she was startled, but there was something in the kindly expression of the intruder which instantly reassured her. The stranger made a gesture toward the sleeping old man, and whispered: "Come out, and speak with me a few moments. This will be my passport to your confidence." And she held up a letter, on which Lucia recognized her own address in Vittoria's writing. A bright flush leaped to her colorless cheeks, and noiselessly arising, she rapidly glided after the retreating figure of Sister Maria, till they gained the shelter of an orange walk near that side of the building. Not a word was exchanged till they gained the deepest shadow cast by the clustering trees; then Lucia impulsively said: "You come from him: give me his letter, that I may see what he says." "In it you will find much that deeply concerns you, Senorina, besides the assurance you seek that a few hours of absence have not changed the true heart he bore away with him. When you have read what Count Colonna says, you will listen to what I have to tell you with more interest." Wondering what she could mean, Lucia tore open her lover's missive, and her expressive face alternately flushed and paled as she read the lines traced within. Suddenly closing it, she rapidly said: "You were seeking me--you knew my parents-- and can throw some light on my origin. Oh! Senora, if you can only tell me who I am, to whom I belong, I shall be eternally indebted to you." "Lucia, unfortunately I cannot do that, for I am ignorant of the position or the true name of your father. Your unfortunate mother took refuge in my mother's cottage, where you were born. She did not long survive your birth, but her husband came in time to see her laid in her grave. He escaped from prison, and made his way to her, but not in time to behold her again in life. You had been solemnly given to me by your dying mother, but your father removed you from our home in the silence of night, and until to-day I have had no clue to you, though I have sought you long and diligently." Lucia listened as one in a dream. She imploringly asked: "But they--my parents--were they not gentle and refined? You speak as one who has been educated yourself, and you can tell me if they were not so." "If appearances are to be trusted, Senor Rispoli was a man of high degree, and a lovelier creature than your mother I have never seen. Look upon her likeness, and see your own features mirrored in it." She held out the miniature Vittorio had seen, and eagerly snatching it, Lucia gave one glance to it, and then pressed it to her lips and heart. She softly said: "How shall I thank you for coming to me-- for bringing me this precious memorial of a mother of whom I have dreamed from my infancy. Ah! why have you not sought and found me before?" "Because my duty to an infirm parent of my own chained me to my home. When she passed away, I set out on my pilgrimage, resolved that it should not end till I had searched the island through, unless I found you. The dress I wear shows you that I am under a vow; that vow is accomplished now that I have found my child. Let me spend a few days with you, Lucia, and then I will resume the life for which I have discovered I am best fitted. To minister to the wants of the helpless and needy shall henceforth be my vocation." Lucia reverently raised her hand to her lips: "How noble and good a woman you must be, to dedicate your life to the service of others. I will use all my influence to keep you here, for the Count suggests that his father shall employ you to distribute his charities. Father Boniface is getting too old to move about much among the people on the estate, and I scarcely think the Marquis will refuse me this favor when he knows the position we hold toward each other." The face of the nun visibly brightened: "My dear child, I do not deny that such an arrangement will make me very happy. To remain beneath the same roof with you--to be able to commune with you whenever I desire . it, will be very delightful to one so lonely and desolate as I now am. I feel that I shall love you very dearly, Lucia, and you will soon learn to confide in me as in a mother." "I am sure of that; and your kindness to her who held that sacred relation to me gives you a strong claim on my affections. There is the ring of the Marquis now; he is awake and misses me. I must go to him, but you must go with me, and I will explain to him who you are, and how you came hither." She walked rapidly in the direction of the apartment In which she had left the Marquis, drawing the nun after her. | When they reached the French window through which they had lately passed, Lucia paused, and whispered : " Remain without a few moments, while I go in and prepare him to receive you." The sister nodded, and Lucia passed into the room in a state of extreme excitement, which caused the Marquis to ask, in a suspicious tone : "What ails you, Lucia, and why did you make your escape so unceremoniously when I fell into a light slumber ? You do not usually desert me in that way." " Pardon me, my lord ; but something very singular has happened. Something In which I am deeply Interested." And she paused for want of breath to proceed. " Indeed ! Has my son ventured to return hither again ? That would be the most singular proceeding I could think of, and one in which you would be most vitally interested." The bitter sarcasm of his tone was unheeded. She held out Vittorio's letter to him, and ingenuously said : " The Count would scarcely return here without your permission, Senor, after plighting his word to you to visit Palermo ; but he has written to me. Here is his letter, and the bearer of it is awaiting your permission to appear before you." Without any appearance of eagerness the old man took the offered letter, and carefully adjusting his glasses, proceeded to read it through, weighing every sentence as he read. In the flutter and excitement of the moment Lucia had utterly forgotten the proposal to communicate with her through the medium of the stranger, together with the revelation regarding the expected good offices of Pepita. Suddenly they flashed upon her, and she would have withdrawn the page if she had dared to make the attempt ; but the firm hand of the Marquis had closed upon it, and she knew it was too late to remedy her precipitation. The heart seemed to die within her as she watched the face of the reader, but he at length looked up, and fixing his sunken eyes kindly upon her agitated face, said : " You have acted honorably in showing me this, Lucia ; nor have you betrayed to me anything of which I was not already aware. I was certain that my son would seek to communicate with you In some way, and I have already ascertained that Pepita was to be the agent through whose hands your letters were to pass. Child, it must only prolong the anguish of your final separation to keep up the delusion of a future union. Men are incon- stant ever, and every temptation, every obliga- tion of honor, will be brought to bear on Vit- torio to force him to fulfil the contract to which I consider him as solemnly bound as if the church had already pronounced its blessing on his union with Lady Venetia Amalfi. Write to him If you choose ; receive his letters; let Pepita play the part of the mysterious agent. I will not baffle her ; but in return for this in- dulgence, when you are convinced that all his professions of devotion mean nothing, I shall ask something of you which you must promise to grant." Touched by his words and the gentle kindness of his manner, Lucia impulsively said : "Oh, Senor, how shall I thank you for this gladness ! How could I refuse anything to so kind and considerate a friend as you are? If Vittorio proves faithless, I will promise to com- ply with anything you may ask of me." " It is understood then, Lucia, that you will hold yourself in honor bound to fulfil your pledge ?"' " Assuredly, my lord. But we forget that this stranger awaits an audience of you." " Ah, true--I will if possible gratify the wish I know you have in your heart, though you have not expressed it; but I must see and speak with the nun first. I cannot take her on trust as my son seems to have done. Let her come in now, if you please." Lucia disappeared, and in a few moments returned, followed by the tall, dark-robed figure of Sister Maria. The old man regarded her keenly as she made her obeisance before him, and in a cour- teous tone invited her to take the seat which Lucia placed for her. He presently said : "My son strongly recommends you to a position of confidence in my household. He was not wrong in supposing that the tie which draws you toward this young girl would induce me to serve you, if it were in my power. Your face pleases me, for I think it honest and true, but I must learn something more of your past life than this letter reveals. Will you enlighten me ?" " Your request is perfectly just, Senor, and I can have no hesitation in giving you my simple history. My parents were the owners of a small vineyard near Syracuse, where my an- cestors have lived for ages, though we do not claim noble blood as our inheritance. We were not rich, but we had enough for our own wants, besides affording alms for the poor. My father died when I was seventeen ; my lover was drowned the next year, and I have never cared to have another. I lived on with my mother In careless monotony till a stranger came one day to our door and asked for shelter and rest. She was young and fair, and the story of suf- fering she told moved our compassion. We took her in and ministered to her wants ; that stranger was the mother of this young girl, as you will yourself believe when you have com- pared the miniature of Senora Rispoli with Lucia's face." Lucia, who had been gazing on the picture with tearful eyes, here held it toward him, and after glancing upon it, the Marquis slowly said : " There can be little doubt that the original of this was the mother of Lucia. Can you ex- plain why she had left her friends? how she came to seek protection from strangers ?" "I could only gather from her that her hus- band had been seized on in the darkness of night and hurried off to prison; her home burned to the ground, and herself compelled to fly from it to save her own life. Lucla was born a few weeks after she gained the shelter of our cottage, but the health of her mother was too much broken to permit her to rally again, though she lingered on for several months. She sent letters to a secret agent in Italy, who found means to let her husband know where she had taken refuge ; he escaped from his prison but to find her dead. The sub- sequent events, I presume, Count Colonna's letter has informed you of, and now, Senor, it remains with you to decide whether I shall re- main near the child toward whom my heart has so long yearned, or return to the silence and desolation of my own home." The Marquis, after a few moments' reflection, turned to Lucia and sald ; "I wish to speak in private with your friend. Leave us together a few moments, Lucia." She immediately arose and left the apart- ment. Then turning to the stranger, he asked : " I presume that you have with you such credentials as will sustain the truth of your narra- tive? Not that I doubt your veracity, but habit has made me cautious, and the position named by my son is one of responsibility." The nun replied by taking from a large pocket in her dress a package of papers, from which she selected two, and presented them to the Marquis for Inspection. One was simply a record of the vow she had taken, written by the reverend padre who had been her spiritual guide ; the other was a let- ter from the same person, stating the object of her voluntary pilgrimage, and asking such aid from chance acquaintances as she might need. "These are quite sufficient," said the Mar- quis, after looking over them. " The name ap- pended to these papers is well known to me, and I am aware that their writer Is a good and pious son of holy mother church. His guaran- tee assures me that you are worthy of confi- dence, but before I consent to place you in a position of trust in my household, you must give me your word of honor not to take charge of a letter or communication of any kind from my son to Lucia, or from her to him. A most unfortunate entanglement has grown out of their recent association with each other, and the sooner they reconcile themselves to a sepa- ration which must prove final, the better it will be for both. You must be aware that a girl in so equivocal a position as that of poor Lucia can be no fitting match for the son of this house. Nay--hear me out without Interrup- tion. It is my purpose to provide for her nobly ; to make up to her for what she relin- quishes, so far as money and perhaps future high position may do so." Sister Maria listened with grave attention. When the Marquis ceased speaking, she quietly said : "I know enough of the world, my lord, to understand how futile are the romantic hopes of these young people. Your son seems a high- spirited and noble youth, and I can only regret that the true station of my young friend is not known, for I am persuaded that if it were, Lucia would be found a fitting mate even for a Colonna. Since I have only my own convic- tions to oppose to your worldly wisdom, I give you the pledge you require. I will in no way encourage the passion you disapprove, nor will I assist the lovers to correspond." " Enough-I am quite satisfied ; so we will now speak of business. Father Boniface, my family chaplain, is getting old and feeble like myself. Of late he finds his duties as almoner burdensome, and only yesterday he petitioned to me for an assistant to distribute the charities I make it a rule to give. Providence seems to have sent you hither at the right moment, and I now install you in the place. But you will find much to do. My estate is large, and the good father has personally looked after the poor, who, alas ! abound in every portion of this island apparently so favored of Heaven," "I thank you sincerely, Senor, for this op- portunity to follow the bent of my own inclina- tions. The strongest desire I am conscious of is to alleviate the sufferings of the helpless--to minister to the wants of the wretched. I promise to be a faithful representative of the good old man who is getting past his work." There was sincerity and fervor in her tones which pleased the old nobleman, and he held out his thin hand as he said : "Then you are henceforth one of my re- tainers. If you desire it, I will order an apart- ment contiguous to Lucia's to be prepared for you, or you can, if you prefer It, be received into the family of my steward. A word from me will suffice to secure you a home with him- self and his young daughter." " I have no words in which to thank you for this consideration for a wandering stranger, my lord. It is my purpose to take another vow to devote my life to the service of the poor in memory of Him who said, ' Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of these, ye have done it unto me.' Let me remain near Lucia, if you please, for she must henceforth be the dearest object in life to me. I am lonely--I have no other tie --I would give much if I could afford her more satisfactory Information concerning her origin." " Do not suffer her thoughts to dwell on what can never be unravelled. After all these years of neglect, her father will scarcely attempt to claim her from those who have stood to her in the place he should have supplied. I will send a message at once to Father Boniface, and in- form him of the arrangement I have made to release him from his most arduous duties." He again touched his bell in a peculiar man- ner, and a servant appeared. "Tell Senorina Lucia that she may return, and despatch a messenger to La Tempesta, to ask the padre to come hither as soon as he con- veniently can." In a few moments Lucia glided in, and the Marquis addressed her with a benignant smile. " The preliminaries are all settled, cara mia, and your friend will become an inmate of the castle. You can have the blue chamber, which lies beside your own, prepared for her use, and Inform the housekeeper that such is my will. I am happy to give you this gratification, Lucia, as some compensation for the severity I have lately been compelled to show you." She knelt before him, and pressed her lips to his withered hand with an expression of grate- ful joy. Then seeing the signs of extreme weariness in his aged face, she linked her arm in that of Sister Maria, and drew her away. Together they ascended the wide staircase, and sought the apartment designated. It was a spacious room, furnished with antique gran- deur, as was the whole castle, and the wan- derer soon felt herself at home within It. She took Lucia in her arms and tenderly said : " My quest has brought a blessing with it, as I felt assured it would. We shall be very happy together, I trust, Lucia, and in time you will learn to love me as you would have loved her who breathed her last sigh in my arms, and with her dying breath gave me her infant child. I do not now repine that I have been defrauded of so many years of sweet intercourse with you, for you found friends whose position in life ena- bled them to prepare you for the sphere in which I feel assured you were born, far better than one of my humble fortunes could have done. We are all in the hands of God, my child, and He deals with us as He sees will be best both for our temporal and spiritual welfare." "I believe it," replied Lucia, earnestly. " And now let me begin my ministrations as your daughter, by removing your hood, and ordering some refreshments to be brought up.2 THE NEW YORK LEDGER You seem much fatigued and greatly need repose." "Yes, I am weary, for I walked the greater part of the way hither." After making her as comfortable as possible, Lucia went down to inform the housekeeper of the new addition to the family. Blanca received the information with some surprise, but when told that the stranger came with a recommendation from Count Vittorio, she was quite ready to do anything in her power to serve her. A delicious little supper was sent up, and after it was over Sister Maria descended again, to be presented to the white-haired patriarch, who had distributed the charities of the Colonna estate for more than half a century. Though he had expected an assistant of a different sex, Father Boniface acknowledged that his mature and keen-sighted woman, whose heart was evidently in the career she had chosen, would be far more valuable to him as co-laborer than a young brother could have been. With simplicity and clearness he explained to her the course he had pursued on the estate, and the nun readily undertook to carry out his plans for the amelioration of the poor peasants' lot, with such judgment and clear-sightedness as nature had bestowed upon her, and the two parted mutually pleased with each other. CHAPTER X. BLASTED HOPES. An interval of a month passed away, during which time Sister Maria settled in her place in the household, and began her round of duties in a systematic manner, which was extremely gratifying to the priest. She had already become personally known to every tenant on the estate who could stand in need of her good offices, and she was unwearied in seeking out cases of distress in the vicinity of the castle. During that time her uniform tenderness, united with her strong practical sense, made a deep impression on Lucia. She loved her for the first and respected her for the last, and the heart of the solitary woman clung with all a mother's fondness to this fair young creature, on whom the blight of a first great sorrow rested. In spite of her efforts to appear as cheerful as usual, Lucia sunk into a dreamy despondency, which threatened the health of both mind and body. When her duties near the Marquis did not occupy her, she would sit for hours beside her window, looking wistfully upon the beautiful panorama it commanded, conjuring up scenes of brilliant, fashionable life in that far city, in which the idol of her heart was gaily mingling, while she was desolate and forsaken. But one letter had been received from Vittorio, and that was addressed to his father. In it he recounted his arrival in Palermo, the cordial welcome he had received from Count Amalfi and his daughter, and the charming traits of the latter were dwelt on with a degree of enthusiasm which struck a chill to poor Lucia's heart. He described the magnificent establishment of the Count, and dilated on his vast wealth, and great influence, in terms she had scarcely expected from Vittorio. At the close of all this were a few lines referring to herself, in which he merely desired to be remembered to his old playmate, and expressed the hope that at some future day she would know and appreciate Lady Venetia as she deserved. Could Vittorio be so heartless as this? she asked herself. Was he so changed already from the adoring lover to the cool, calculating suitor of another? It is true that she had not read the letter herself; the Marquis read it aloud to her; but there was no hesitation in his tone, as if he were interpolating what it did not contain, and Lucia was too simple and true in her nature herself to believe him capable of practicing such a deception. She saw that the writing was Vittorio's, and she listened with a blank feeling of despair which revealed to her how utterly she had devoted her heart to him. That sick feeling of hopelessness which blots out every joy or expectation took possession of her, and her fading cheek and languid motions showed how deeply the blow had struck. Those around her saw its effects; the Marquis with exultation, mingled with a slight feeling of apprehension that he had gone too far at first; his measures should have been more gradual, that the shrinking, quivering heart might have been prepared for the overthrow of its dearest hopes. The nun watched her with vivid interest; but she thought it best to leave her to struggle on in silence till she had conquered the fatal attachment which she firmly believed could never bring her happiness. She knew that Lucia was not born to die of a broken heart; the vitality in her young frame was too exuberant to fear such a catastrophe as that, and, suffer as she might in these hours of bitterness, Sister Maria knew from sad experience that the trials of the heart do not often kill, unless there is some organic defect in the physical system. So she watched over her young charge tenderly and unweariedly; but she did not invite her confidence, or voluntarily refer to the absent one, for she would have considered such a course a violation of her pledge to the Marquis. One afternoon she was absent from the castle on a visit to Rosella and her crippled boy; the Marquis was taking his siesta, and Lucia, wrought up to a pitch of desperation at not hearing from her lover, took the sudden resolution to go to the steward's house and inquire of Pepita if no letter for her had yet been received. The girl had of late been frequently at the castle to visit her, and her specious explanation of the means by which the Marquis had gained a knowledge of her proposed agency in delivering the letters of the lovers had removed all blame from herself. But when she came, the excuses she offered for Vittorio's seeming negligence only irritated the wound she pretended to soothe. Lucia threw a black lace mantilla over her white dress, and set out with that feverish eagerness which impels the wretched and restless to do something—anything to quiet the soul within. As she rapidly walked down a long avenue of limes which led to the outer gate, she saw a figure approaching it, and paused to ascertain who it was before advancing further. The next moment the fluttering ribbons of the wide straw hat and the gay dress told her that the object of her search was before her. She stood still and watched the approach of the brilliant and dashing-looking girl, and for the first time she was struck with her great beauty. It was of a type entirely different from her own, and Lucia thought that in society the steward's daughter would produce a sensation where she would probably be overlooked. Pepita's tall figure, magnificently developed; her free, elastic step, the flashing darkness of her large eyes, with her fresh complexion, ruby lips, and abundant hair, rendered her a very striking-looking person; and the contrast she made with the pale shadow that awaited her was certainly very marked. She was humming a gay barcarole and did not observe Lucia's presence till she stepped out from the shelter of the trees and called her name. "You here! Goodness! Lucia, I should almost as soon have expected to meet the Marquis himself at this hour. And you are as pale as a ghost with that shrouding black lace that makes you look for all the world like a nun. What brings you out, pray, if I may ask such a question?" "Can you not divine, Pepita? I was on my way to you to ask you if—if—something has not come for me yet?" Pepita had no pity for the eager eyes—the paling lips of the unhappy speaker. She said, with a tantalizing smile: "Three letters came to-day addressed to me. One was an offer of marriage, another was— well, no matter what the other was; but the third—divine what that contained, my little trembling dove, and I will hand it over to you. Why, you look as if you would faint; there's not the least pleasure in teasing one so dreadfully in earnest as you are." "Oh, Pepita!" gasped the excited listener, "have pity on me. Do not torture me thus; if you have a letter, give it to me at once." "Give it to you here where some one may be watching us? Oh, no—that will never do. Let us return to your room, or you can come with me to the cottage if you prefer it." "There is no need of this mystery, for you are already aware that the Marquis permits me to receive Vittorio's letters," trembled on the lips of Lucia; but she repressed them, and, grasping the hand of her unprincipled tormentor, turned in the direction of the castle, and said: "Come with me, then. I had rather not go so far from home as your house if I can avoid it." With rapid steps the two drew near the entrance and ascended to Lucia's apartment, while she trembled with excitement and newborn hope. When the door closed upon them she turned and almost fiercely said: "Now, then, let me have my letter. Oh! I have waited so long—so long that now I can scarcely believe Vittorio has at last thought it necessary to send a line to the being who so implicitly trusted him; who believed he loved her with an affection that can never perish." With a light laugh Pepita dew forth the letter, and said: "You are as fierce as a lioness, and I declare you would make a splendid tragic actress. It is a pity the Marchesa did not let you go on the stage, for, with your voice and other advantages, you would have become a great prima donna." "Lucia was not listening to her; every sense was wrapped up in the lines her eyes were eagerly devouring, and the pallor which had already struck Pepita deepened, as she read, into absolute gastliness. As she finished, Lucia sunk back with a faint moan and seemed on the eve of fainting; but she still tenaciously grasped the letter, which had evidently increased rather than alleviated her sufferings. "What is it? What does Vittorio say that so painfully affects you?" asked the girl. She had not seen the contents of the epistle, for the Marquis required it to be delivered to himself as soon as it arrived, and after examining it, he had re-sealed it in such a manner that Pepita was afraid to tamper with it. Contrary to his expectattons, he had found in it nothing to alter. Vittorio's own story was sufficient, he thought, to crush out all hope from the heart of Lucia. With a burst of hysterical emotion, she now said: "Oh, Pepita! I must confide in some one. This burden is crushing my heart, and I can no longer bear it alone. Vittorio said that I might trust you, and I will. Read this letter, and see how cruelly we are separated. I cannot—I dare not set up my own hopes against the mandate of his father. I must give up my dear love—my idol—my only joy in life, to another!" The impetuous Italian nature had burst the bonds so long imposed upon it, and she wept and rung her hands in anguish, while Pepita calmly took the letter and read the lines she was chafing with impatience to see: PALERMO, May 17, 18—. MY DEAREST LUCIA:—I undertake the task before me with a sad heart, but I must write and lay before you all the difficulties of the position in which I find myself placed, that you may aid me to overcome them by deciding you own future and mine. I have attempted this many times already, but shrank with a coward heart from telling you that circumstances will prove stronger than even such love as ours. When we parted I was strong in my resolution never to give you up, but I now feel that I am in an iron bondage which no effort of my own can break without loss of honor to myself and the possible loss of life to another whom I am bound by every feeling of humanity to consider. Do not accuse me of vanity when I tell you that Lady Venetia loves me even as I love you, and so frail is her hold on life that I fear she would never survive the knowledge that I have given my affections to another. Her father believes this, and he holds me inexorably to the contract I had no voice in forming. Day by day I find myself beside this charming girl, who lavishes on me the most delicate proofs of tender affection, without a misgiving that my tortured heart is wandering in pursuit of another. I can do no less than treat her with gentleness and respect, and in the unsuspicious confidence of her generous nature she finds this enough to assure her that her passion is reciprocated. I have made several efforts to inform her of the truth, but the sudden terror in her large blue eyes and the rapid motion of her hand to her heart warned me that the revelation might prove fatal. Alas! I shrank from it, and with a kind of dumb despair felt that since my father is resolute that we shall not be happy together, it would be cruel and cowardly to strike a deadly blow on one who has already suffered much. Lady Venetia has disease of the heart, which her physician declares will prove fatal if any sudden shock is inflicted on her. If her life is permitted to glide on smoothly and peacefully, he says she may live many years; thus you see her fate lies in my hands, and cruel as the alternative is, I cannot resolve to place the truth before her. Lucia, in you have found all that I require to make my life beautiful, but I have nothing to offer you but unmitigated poverty, for Count Amalfi will not aid me to attain independence, as I fondly hoped he might be wrought on to do when we last parted. He demands that I shall fulfill the family contract, and conceal from his daughter that another has ever rivalled her in my affections. My own father writes the most urgent letters to the same effect, and threatens me with disinheritance if I refuse to comply with the engagement to which he considers his honor as well as my own pledged. Oh! my darling! what refuge have we? What can we do but succumb to an implacable fate? I have no fortune of my own; you are dependent, delicately reared, and unfit to endure hardship. Your charming voice I could not bear to see degraded by ministering to the popular pleasure, while I became a pauper husband living upon the hard-won earnings of my wife. Decide for me, Lucia, for I have not strength to place an impassable barrier between us unless it is done at your command. Forgive me, my own love, for what I have written, but it has been wrung from me under the most stringent compulsion. I have spoken strongly to Count Amalfi of our mutual affection; have dwelt on the tie that binds me in good faith to you, but his only reply is to refer to his daughter and say: "Her life—her happiness must be my first care. They are in your keeping, and wo be to you, and to her you prefer before my child, if evil comes to her through either of you. I would pursue you both to the end of your existence." For the threat I care not, but the truth with reference to Venetia unmans me. I have known her from her childhood, and I cherish for her a most tender, brotherly affection. If I give her my hand, I will guard her from the knowledge that I have given my heart to another, and dedicate my life to making her happy, as I feel she deserves to be. Oh Lucia! strengthen me for the sacrifice, if it must be made. Tell me that you will not withdraw all confidence and affection from me—that in your heart I shall still claim the place of a tenderly cherished friend. If you decide to hold me to my troth, I will risk everything to make you mine, and in so doing find far more happiness than I can ever hope to enjoy in the splendid alliance that courts my acceptance. At moments I am mad enough to hope that you will do so, for my heart sinks into utter despondency when I look on the possibility that we may be forever severed from each other. Do not decide in the sudden impulse of feeling, my beloved, but take time to consider all that your decision involves. If you bid me come to you, I will come, though Fate itself forbade the effort. Your adoring, but most unhappy, VITTORIO. Pepita read this outpouring of despairing love with a fierce feeling of resentment toward her who had inspired it, though she carefully suppressed all show of it. The wailing sobs that broke in her ear gave birth to no emotion of pity for her from whose heart they were wrung. After a pause to collect her thoughts, and steady her voice, she coldly said: "After reading this you can never hesitate to give the Count the freedom he evidently desires that he may give his hand to this rich young heiress. His fine words do not deceive me. He finds his fortune and position dependent on this marriage, and he intends to make it. Poor Lucia! I'm sorry for you, but I can do nothing further to help you." There was something in her pity that jarred sharply on the wounded heart of Lucia, and dashing the blinding tears from her eyes, she promptly said: "Save your sympathy till I ask it, Pepita. I shall find myself equal to the painful position in which I am placed, and prove to Vittorio that my selfish love shall not entail on him the evils of poverty, and alienation from his only parent. "Then you will give him up to your rival?" and her pitiless eyes explored the excited face of the suffering girl with vivid curiosity. "I must say that you should take time for reflection as Vittorio advises, for it is asking a great deal from one in your position to give up all hope of becoming Countess of Colonna, and being some day, perhaps, mistress of the magnificent home in which you have been reared as a dependent." A faint expression of scorn quivered on the white lips of Lucia, and she passionately replied: "It is not that! oh no not that. No mercenary fear tortures my heart with this dreadful anguish. It is the sole thought that he for whose sake I would suffer everything is placed even in a more cruel position than I am. He loves me alone—every line in his letter assures me of that, yet I must become as nothing to him, while he must simulate a love he does not feel for the one who will exact the very lifeblood of his heart. I shall be free—no shackle will bind me to one for whom I should be forced to feign a passion I could never feel; therefore Vittorio's fate is worse than mine. Oh infinitely worse! and it is my noble—noble Vittorio, so formed for something higher and truer, who must lead the life of falsehood." Pepita looked surprised, and contemptous. She hardly said: "Upon my word, you are very generous to think only of him. If I were in your place, I should have no thought but for my own desertion, for phrase it as he will, it is evident that the Count means that if he means anything at all; for, of course, he knows well enough that you dare not brave the anger of his father so far as to recall him from his present devotion to your rival." Lucia shuddered, and shrank away from her. "Pepita, is this the comfort I expected from you? No–not that I expected, but that Vittorio taught me to look for in making you the confidante of our unfortunate attachment. I see how little sympathy you really have for me, and from this moment I exhonorate you from any attempt to express it. I shall trouble you no more with letters, for I shall send him but one more in which I shall end the delusion in which we both so lately lived." "Really, you assume a very high tone with me, and I do not acknowledge your right to do so," said Pepita in an offended tone. "I have done all I could to serve you, even to the risk of offending the Marquis for your sake. And this is all the gratitude I find. I am not sentimental myself, and because I speak plain truths you take offence. I am glad there will be an end to the correspondence, as I do not choose to play the part of go between with such scant reward as you give me." The momentary irritation of the suffering girl passed away, and she gently said: "Forgive me, Pepita; but your words seemed harsh to one so sorely wounded as I am. I will do as Vittorio suggests—take a few hours to reflect before I decide his destiny and my own, though I do not think anything will induce me to change the resolution I have already made. To-morrow I will write my reply, and send it to him at once." "You look as if you may be too ill to-morrow to go out, and it will probably be best for me to come up for it. Oh! how I wish I could make this splendid place my home as you do, our cottage is so mean and commonplace in comparison with it." With a weary sigh, Lucia replied: "I could almost wish I had never entered it. I am ill, and I think I shall be worse, but I will not trouble you to come hither. What I am going to write the Marquis himself shall read. I will show him his son's letter, and my reply." Pepita regarded her as if she thought her mind already wandering, but she only said: "Just as you please. It may be better for you to make a merit with the old man, of giving up his son to the brilliant prospects that are opening before him. The Marquis is rich and liberal, and he will, of course, feel bound to make you some equivalent for this sacrifice." "Oh! Pepita, is there no such thing in your nature as generosity? The Marquis will provide for me—he has always promised that, and beyond the means of living I ask nothing—I will accept nothing from him. I love his son; I relinquish him at the command of duty and necessity. But we will say no more on this painful subject; it only tortures my heart, and we shall never understand each other. Pepita tossed her head contemptuously: "Very well; it is time for me to go at any rate, for my father may return from the village and be making inquiries about me. Good evening. Take care of yourself, my dear, for you are not looking as strong as usual." And with this hollow expression of interest Pepita left the room, carrying with her the triumphant conviction that, without any treachery on her part, the rupture between the lovers was consummated. Vittorio would, it is true, give his hand in all probability to this love-sick Venetia; but her life was but a shadow she could easily find means to remove from her future path when it became necessary to the accomplishment of her plans to do so. The very knowledge she had that day gained placed a powerful weapon in her hand, which she would ruthlessly use when the time for action arrived. When the hour came in which the blow could effectually be struck, she would crush the devoted wife by letting her know that her adored one had been driven into the union which bound him to her. She found her father waiting for her return, and he eagerly asked: "Did you ascertain the contents of the letter?" "Of course I did. The poor simpleton showed it to me. You need have no further fears of Vittorio. He has written to Lucia to release him from his engagement, that he may give his hand to the rich heiress, who, it seems, will break her heart if she does not get him. I believe now that he was only amusing himself with the poor thing, and never seriously meant to marry her. Baldoni shook his head incredulously: "I overheard too much to believe that. If ever a man was in earnest the young Count was when they were in the pavilion together. But what can he do, poor fellow, between two such iron men as Count Amalfi and his father? He is as poor as a rat, for his mother had no fortune to descend to him; so you see he has no choice but to marry Lady Venetia. I hope the affair will be settled before—before something else happens; for if that letter performs its errand, Vittorio will be the heir, and under the new aspect his affairs will then take, he may refuse to fulfil the contract in which we know his heart is not." The last words were spoken in a low, mysterious tone, as if Baldoni feared the very walls might echo them to other ears than those for which they were designed. Pepita lightly replied: "His fate will be settled before the news we anticipate arrives. The two fathers are too much in earnest to permit the marriage to be deferred, after the consent of Vittorio is obtained. Lucia's reply to his letter will settle that matter; she told me that she would give him back his freedom; and she moreover declared that she would inform the Marquis she had done so, by showing him his son's letter, with her reply." "Well, I must acknowledge that she is a noble girl, and deserves better treatment than to be thrust aside for a richer woman," said Baldoni, thoughtfully. "Pooh! if she wasn't a fool she would hold him to his bargain; but it is as well for her that she did not, for she, nor anyone else, shall not stand in my way." Her father regarded her strangely. He spoke almost in a whisper: "What do you hint at, Pepita? The woman the Count will now wed will be placed far beyond your reach. You would not dare to strike at her." "Dare!" she scoffingly repeated. "There are few things I would not dare, if my own interests were at stake. But set your heart at rest; the weapon I shall use against Lady Venetia is intangible, and no law can be found to punish me, even if I do proceed in striking a deadly blow to her very being." "I—I do not understand you." "But I understand myself, which is more to the purpose. Do you rid me of Lucia, and in my own time I will rid myself of the other incumbrance." "How shall I do so? The Marquis refused my suit, and coolly told me I was old enough to be her grandfather. He declared his intention to provide for her himself, and something in his manner led me to think that he means to marry her himself." Pepita's eyes dilated with surprise, but she presently laughed aloud: 'What a ridiculous thing that would be for a Marquis of Colonna to do. An old dotard, feeble and crippled as he is, will make a splendid husband for a young girl like Lucia. Why, she is three years younger than I am; but I confess if he should ask me to become his Marchioness I could not find it in my heart to refuse the pomp and state he could give me. I shall be satisfied to have him make such an old fool of himself; but I am convinced Lucia will never consent to accept him. The very thought of becoming the wife of her lover's father will fill her with horror." "The Marquis of Colonna never yet determined on doing a thing that he did not accomplish it," replied Baldoni, with cold gravity. "If he tells Lucia she shall give him her hand, he will find means to compel her to do so. Yet I hope he will think better of it and consent to bestow her on me." 'I think you may begin to wear the willow at once," said his daughter, mockingly; "for with two such rivals in the field as the Marquis of Colonna and his son, you will not stand the ghost of a chance with this Young Circe, who seems to charm the hearts of both old and young." "We shall see,"said her father, with a lowering brow. "Time proves all things." [TO BE CONTINUED IN OUR NEXT.] LARGE FORTUNES. Crœsus possessed in landed property a fortune equal to $8,500,000, besides a large sum of money, slaves and furniture, which amounted to an equal sum. He used to say, that a citizen who had not a fortune sufficient to support an army, or a legion, did not deserve the title of a rich man. The philosopher Seneca had a fortune of $17,500,000. Tiberius, at his death, left $118,125,000, which Caligula spent in less than twelve months. Vespasian, on ascending the throne, estimated all the expenses of the State at $175,000,000. The debts of Milo amounted to $3,000,000. Cæsar, before he entered upon any office, owed $4,975,000. He had purchased the friendship of Curio for $2,500,000, and that of Lucius Paulus for $1,500,000. At the time of the assassination of Julius Cæsar, Antony was in debt to the the amount of $1,500,000; he owed this sum to the ides of March, and it was paid, and it was paid before the kalends of April; he squandered $735,000,000 of the public treasures. Appius squandered in debauchery $2,500,000; and finding on examination of the state of his affairs, he had no more than $400,000, he poisoned himself, because he considered that sum insufficient for his maintenance. Julius Cæsar gave Servilla, the mother of Brutus, a pearl of the value of $200,000. Cleopatra, at an entertainment, gave to Antony, dissolved in vinegar, a pearl worth $400,000, and he swallowed it. Claudius, the son of Esopus, the comedian, swallowed one worth $40,000. One single dish cost Esopus $400,000, and Heliogabulus $100,000. The usual cost of a repast for Lucullus was $100,000; the fish from his fishponds sold for $175,000. _____________ TIME. It waits for no man—it travels onward with an even, uninterrupted, inexorable step, without accommodating itself to the delays of mortals. The restless hours pursue their course; moments press after moments; day treads upon day; year rolls after year. Does man loiter; procrastinate? Is he listless or indolent? Behold the days, and months and years, unmindful of his delay, are never sluggish, but march forward in a silent and solemn procession. Our labors and toils, our ideas and feelings may be suspended by sleep; darkness and silence and death may reign around us, but Time is beyond the power of any human being, besides Omnipotence. The clock may cease to strike, the sun to shine but the busy hours pass on. The months and years must move on ever, forward. ________ "Some hearts, like evening primroses, open more beautifully in the shadows of life. THE LOVER'S EXPERIMENT. BY AMY RANDOLPH. "Now, Clarence, do just listen to reason!" The dark, crisp curls were blown away from Clarence Northall's fair, broad forehead by the speed at which his fast horses were flying over the smooth expanse of the Bloomingdale Road —the keen winter wind had brought a vivid fire into his large dark eyes and a faint color to his olive cheek, and most people who had seen him then would have given in their adhesion to the popular opinion that he was a very handsome man. Not one of the bandbox beauties that instinctively remind you of a china toy, with taper waist and waxed moustache, and pink cheeks and round eyes; but a man, stately and regal, as God intended men to look! His black brows contracted almost involuntarily, but there was no relaxation in the firm, nervous fingers that grasped the reins, as he turned carelessly towards Pierce Melton, leaning comfortably back among the carriage cushions. "Reason away, Pierce–I am all attention." "But I may as well warn you beforehand that I'm about to give you a bit of good advice —an article that is just as dangerous among friends as a cigar in a powder magazine." "What a very solemn preamble!" laughed Northall. "Well, it's a solemn matter, you know. You'll not be vexed with me?" "No, of course not!" Let me tell you then, as a friend, that you're all wrong in this matter we've been talking about—wrong from the beginning to end!" “Wrong?” “Yes, wrong. It won't do to place too much restraint on Nina Lennox's free will for—" Northall drew in the reins with an irrepressible movement of irritation that must have astonished his thoroughbreds not a little. "Restraint! who wants to restrain her? You talk as if I were a grim old tyrant, instead of a tolerably indulgent lover! What on earth do you mean?" "I may be mistaken," said Melton, rather dryly, "but I was certainly under the impression that I discerned something of the Othello type of character last night, when all the innocent enjoyment of Miss Nina's evening was overclouded by the grave annunciation from Mr. Northall that he considered it a very improper thing for an engaged young lady to waltz." "Well—I don't waltz myself, and who wants to see his fiancée whirling round a ball-room with Tom, Dick and Harry, and the deuce only knows who!" "Granted; but Nina pouted a little, notwithstanding, as it was quite natural she should. And I remember a certain occasion when she was obliged to give up the Lancers' Ball because you happened to have the tooth-ache, or some other ache, and couldn't go. Her cousin, Warner Gay, was ready to officiate as preux chevalier in your stead—her new dress was in the prettiest possible taste; don't I still treasure reminiscences of its fluttering pink ribbons and branches of rosebuds? And yet—" "Nonsense—she didn't want to go without me!""You think not? My dear fellow, Nina Lennox isn't a faultless, unselfish angel with wings and a harp—she is merely a very sweet, affectionate, impulsive little mortal, with her full share of earthly weaknesses and shortcomings. And Gay told me that she cried for an hour over the disappointment. Now, Clarence, don't let the 'flowery fetters,' as some poetic fool calls 'em, press too heavily upon your pretty captive, or some day she will throw them off, and declare independence. There—I've done; I've made myself as disagreeable as it was possible to do—and I give you solemn warning I don't mean to say another word on the subject. I dare say you'd like to kick me out of the carriage or tweak my nose for my impertinence, but you see common politeness won't allow you to make any such demonstration!" Clarence Northall could not but laugh, even while the shadow of a dark frown rested heavily on his arched black brows, as Pierce Melton leaned back and surveyed his friend with a countenance of the coolest and most imperturbable audacity. "Don't be alarmed," he said, calmly; "I have no such intention. Shall we drive back now? or would you like to cross the bridge?! As Northall turned his horses' heads in a homeward direction, and drove on in moody silence, his thoughts reverted with perpetual iteration to the lovely young creature who held his heart in her keeping, and he said, half aloud: "I wonder what she is doing to-day. I suppose I ought to have called there this morning, but she showed so many open symptoms of rebellion last night, that perhaps it was better to give her a chance to recover her composure at leisure. She may as well learn, first as last, that I am no weak fool to be swayed by a woman's tears and smiles." "Bluebeard again!" remarked Pierce Melton. "Excuse me—it was only a slip of the tongue, Clarence! What I meant to say was, that you may drive me round to the Club House, if you've a mind to." Mrs. Gay's conservatory was a very pretty place; a sort of hexagonal excrescence jutting out of the south end of the house, whose crystal walls were bright with perpetual bloom and sweet with the faint moist odors which dew and twilight bring to the edges of spring-tide forests and tangled Brazilian coppices, and there was a door hidden by the fall of emerald silk curtains which opened into the drawing-rooms just where you would least have suspected the existence of a door—and altogether, this conservatory was a bright, romantic after-thought added to the ponderous brown-stone mansion, worth all the colonnades and cornices that architect ever dreamed of! The afternoon sun was showering its golden drops of light among the polished japonica leaves and clinging passion-vines in this little section of the tropics, which, had Mr. Clarence Northall been able to take a peep among its buds and blossoms, he might very easily have discovered "what Nina was doing." For she stood embowered in geraniums and cloth-of- gold roses, her black silk apron full of flowers, engaged in the important business of selecting a fitting bouquet for the evening's soirée, while her cousin, Walter Gay, was standing half way up a little rosewood ladder, armed with a pair of garden scissors, clipping off blossom after blossom, as she pointed them out. And Charlesworth Browning stood beside her, playfully commenting on her selections, his bright eyes radiant with mirth, and his handsome features receiving an added charm from the spice of animation which they perhaps lacked in ordinary life. There was not a flower in all that conservatory pleasanter to look at than was Nina Lennox at that moment. She was rather inclined to the brunette order of beauty, with large, chocolate-brown eyes where the sparkles seemed to swim in a languid, latent fire, and hair of the very darkest chestnut shade, while her lips were a crescent of fresh-cut coral, ripe and dewy, and the velvet softness of her cheek was incarmined with crimson bloom. People liked to have Nina Lennox near them, as they liked the neighborhood of sunshine and flowers and singing-birds; somehow she helped brightenPart I. Price $2.00.

Salesroom, 252 Washington Street, Boston. THIS MACHINE is constructed on entirely new principles of mechanism, possessing many rare and valuable improvements, having been examined by the most profound experts, and pronounced to be SIMPLICITY and PERFECTION COMBINED. The following are the principal objections urged against Sewing Machines: 1—Excessive fatigue to the operator. 2—Liability to get out of order. 3—Expense, trouble and loss of time in repairing. 4—Incapacity to sew every description of material. 5—Disagreeable noise while in operation. The Empire Sewing Machine is Exempt from all these Objections. It has a straight needle, perpendicular action, makes the LOCK or SHUTTLE STITCH, which will neither rip nor ravel, and is alike on both sides ; performs perfect sewing on every description of material, from Leather to the finest Nansook Muslin, with cotton, linen or silk thread, from the coarsest to the finest number. Having neither CAM nor COG WHEEL, and the least possible fiction, it runs as smooth as glass, and is EMPHATICALLY A NOISELESS MACHINE! It requires FIFTY PER CENT. less power to drive it than any other Machine in market. A girl twelve years of age can work it steadily, without fatigue or injury to health. Its strength and wonderful simplicity of construction, renders it almost impossible to get out of order, and is guaranteed by the company, to give entire satisfaction. We respectfully invite all those who may desire to supply themselves with a superior article, to call and examine this UNRIVALLED MACHINE. But in a more especial manner do we solicit the patronage of RELIGIOUS AND CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS WILL BE LIBERALLY DEALT WITH.

The present Legislature have with great unanimity, passed a resolve appropriating twenty thousand dollars to extirpate the disease called Pleuro-pneumonia. The undersigned have been appointed Commissioners to execute the law relating thereto, in accordance with the Acts of 1860, Chapters 220 and 221, to which your attention is directed, particularly to Section 9th, Chapter 220, and Section 5th, Chapter 221. Cattle owners are hereby directed, that when any disease occurs among their cattle, the sick shall be separated from the healthy, and kept strictly isolated, until an examination can be made to determine the character of the disease, whereby many valuable animals may be saved from an attack of the disease in question. The Commissioners desire the active cooperation of all, not only to prevent the great loss of property that must be incurred if the disease is not arrested, but that the people, the consumers may be protected from the disgusting and unhealthy consumption of the products of cows with diseased lungs.

Oh yes, I will come to thy palace bright, Afar from the maddening throng, To banquet with thee in thy halls to-night, Thou sceptered Queen of Song! And there where a thousand splendors shine We'll revel without control, And I'll quaff the blood of the glorious wine Of the vintage of thy soul! The Muses all will around thee bow, As thou moves in queenly pride, With thy starred tiara on thy brow And thy robes in the sunset dyed. And the bards and the demi-gods of old Will circle thy festal board, And to thee from goblets of pearl and gold Will the royal wine be poured. All the beautiful Spirits of earth and sky At thy bidding will be thy guests, They will come to kneel with a homage high At thy queenly soul's behests; Ay, every wave of thy scepter proud Will summon a myriad forms, Like the muster of billow and wind and cloud To the call of the god of storms. And oh! young Queen, at the banquet's close, Whey thy myriad guests are gone, I'll stay for the song of the wind and rose And thy own more thrilling tone. And we'll wander forth 'neath the welkin, love, Where the stars through the midnight roll, But gaze on no brighter heaven above Than that in thy glorious soul. THE FAMILY SECRET. By Eliza A. Dupuy, Author of "The Warning Voice," "The White Terror," "The Lost Deeds," Etc., Etc. CHAPTER VII. VITTORIO'S PERPLEXITIES. The vessel on which Count Colonna embarked entered the harbor of Palermo without accident. The morning was divinely fair, and the waters of the crescent-shaped bay lay in the blue tranquility, mirroring the bold promontories which girdle in the "Shell of Gold," as the inhabitants have appropriately named the unrivaled spot on which the city stands. It is diversified with verdant valleys, picturesque dwellings, and glittering sea, with a background of lofty hills, all blending in one harmonious picture that must delight the most indifferent spectator; and floating over all is a soft voluptuous atmosphere filled with the fragrance of innumerable flowers. On the eastern side of the bay Mount Catalan rears its craggy head, and on the western Pelegrino towers in sublime majesty as guardian sentinels of this earthly paradise, thus affording the contrast of the wildest mountain scenery to the beautiful vale they enclose. It is no marvel that Sicily has always been considered the pearl of the Mediterranean; that Greeks and Arabs have struggled for its possession in the palmy days, and that it is now regarded as the fairest appanage of the kingdom of which it forms a portion. The city on which Vittorio now gazed offered ample evidences of the various rulers under whom it has successively passed. Greek and Roman, Moslem and Norman, have alike left their impress upon the place, and the numerous Byzantine domes towering in the Lucent air give it an almost oriental aspect. As far as the eye could reach around the curving shore, beautifully modelled fishing craft were lying in front of the humble habitations of their owners, the greater portion of them ornamented at the bows with the rude figure of a saint, a madonna, or a crucifix, before which to offer thanks for a prosperous voyage, or to implore protection in time of danger. The magnificent Marino lies in the heart of the Golden Shell overlooking the sea, and in its turn overlooked by the lofty palaces inhabited by those born to wealth and high station. Among these was the dwelling Count Colonna came to seek, for his father had exacted from him a promise to take up his abode beneath the roof of his friend, as had hitherto been his habit when visiting Palermo. He was soon threading his way in a light carriage through the imposing Via Toledo, the greatest thoroughfare of the city. It was several years since he had last visited the place, and the young Count gazed with interest upon the crowded panorama the street presented. Ladies were going or returning from church, wearing black lace mantillas gracefully and coquettishly flowing from the head; mingled with them were the women of lower degree, wearing shawls draped in the same manner, as no one of the gentler six is permitted to wear hat or bonnet in the sanctuary. The dark-robed priest, with his shovel hat, glided noiselessly amid the throng of gaily uniformed soldiers seen on every side, sad evidences of the military despotism under which the people live. Carriages, with their liveried attendants, dashed to and fro, and the brilliant babel seemed to culminate when he reached a market with its thronging crowds of venders and purchasers, and saw the fertility of the land evinced in the variety of luscious fruits and vegetables heaped up in rich profusion. Prominent among the salesmen were the fishermen in their picturesque striped shirts and red caps, bearing the trophies of the sea in flat wicker platters, filled with sea weed, in which their finny captives were arranged according to taste or fancy, and the thoughts of the young stranger reverted to Masaniello and the terrible vespers of Palermo, while he signed over the subjection in which his countrymen are now held. The carriage at length reached the Marino, a broad avenue built from the base of the ancient ramparts against which the sea once surged. A grove of lime trees cast their grateful shadows over it, beneath which marble seats were placed to invite the luxurious lounger or the weary pedestrian to repose. On one side lay the placid waters of the bay, on the other the magnificent gardens attached to private residences, embellished with statues, fountains and every variety of flowering plants which will flourish in that genial climate. In the centre of the drive arises a marble temple erected for the accommodation of a fine band which discourses sweet music to the crowds that frequent the Marino on a summer night; and at the two extremities stand ancient castles built centuries ago by the Spanish sovereigns of Sicily for the defense of the city when that power held sway over the island. It was yet too early in the day for the fashionable crowd to throng this unrivaled thoroughfare, but still there were many loungers upon the benches, enjoying the quiet beauty of the morning; among them were many invalids from more northern shores, seeking renovation in the delicious atmosphere which acts as a soothing balm on weakened lungs and unstrung nerves. The vetturino at length drew up in front of one of the most imposing buildings which overlooked this scene of enchantment. The balconies were filled with flowers, which afforded a striking contrast to the heavy Egyptian gateway, sustained by caryatides and surmounted by sphinxes, while the pilasters and columns which supported the balconies bore curious carvings evidently of antique origin. A servant, in a gorgeous livery of green and gold, appeared at the door, and a smile of welcome irradiated his face as he recognized the young Count, and assured him that his master was impatiently expecting him. Vittorio was at once ushered through a wide hall, paved with colored marbles, and richly frescoed, into a small reception-room, used as a library by Count Amalfi. He had scarcely entered, when a door opening into sanctum was unclosed, and a tall, dark man of about fifty years of age advanced to meet him, with an expression of eager pleasure upon his face. In his youth Count Amalfi might have been considered handsome, and to a student of physiognomy there was still a subtle power in his face which rendered it interesting to an observer. The wisest of men has said "that the heart of a man changes his countenance, whether it be for good or evil," and certainly that of Amalfi bore small traces of the former. His face was dark, stern and uncompromising, and he had the air of a man who always lives in dread of the sword suspended above the head by a single hair. Those who were familiar with his past history found good cause for this in the actions of his early life; but the most of them were surprised that, after so many years of quiet enjoyment of the title and estates which had become his through treachery to his nearest kinsman, he should still feel their tenure insecure. This man, polished as an icicle, seemingly dead to all human emotion, cherished one absorbing feeling in his heart, and that was his adoring love for his only child. The misfortune which had befallen Lady Venetia only depended and intensified this feeling, and to him she was everything. To promote her happiness or welfare he would have made any sacrifice, and those who stood in the way of either were simply obstacles to be bent to his will, or crushed out of existence. Such was the man who now laid aside his habitual coldness to welcome to his roof the betrothed of that adored child with all the warmth and empressement of a near relative. He grasped the hand of Vittorio, and cordially said: "Most welcome--most welcome are you, my dear young friend! and I am all the happier that you have lost no time in seeking to renew your intercourse with you old playmate. You will find Venetia more charming than ever, and she has looked forward to this reunion as the happiest epoch of her short life." Though slightly embarrassed by these words, Vittorio said, with apparent calmness: "I have but just arrived, my Lord, and I came at once to you in compliance with a promise made my father to that effect, and---" The Count interrupted him: "Why should you make an apology for coming to us, Vittorio? Has it not always been your habit to do so when visiting Palermo? I should have thought strangely of you if you had done otherwise. And how is my venerable Nestor, your excellent father?" "Feeble in body, but bright in intellect and strong in will as ever." "Of course--of course; men of energy like your father do not lay aside the exercise of the last because the body weakens with old age. I believe that the will only strengthens as the other faculties decay." After a few more moments of desultory conversation, Amalfi suddenly said: "It is long since you were here, Vittorio, and now you must come with me to see the improvements I have made for my daughter's enjoyment. The palace has been remodeled and fitted up since your last visit; building and decoration are my hobbies, you know, and I have spared no expense in the embellishments I have completed. Venetia is not yet visible, but I will send her word that you are here, that she may prepare to receive her preserver." The Count talked on so rapidly that he did not observe the change in his young companion's face as he again referred to his daughter. Vittorio hastened to say, in as composed a tone as he could command: "I trust that the health of Lady Venetia is better of late years. It is so long since we met that I can scarcely flatter myself that she will remember me." A faint cloud flitted over the dark face of the father, and he slowly said: "Venetia is not strong, but her general health is good enough. She must have extreme care taken of her, my by, or---" He abruptly broke off, and resumed with a meaning smile: "Why should you fancy that my daughter will not know you? Do you suppose that she has failed to treasure the handsome miniature of yourself which you sent her from Paris a year ago? She has had it richly set, and wears it constantly next her heart. Nay--I am not so sure that she does not place it on the holy shrine when she kneels before it to perform her devotions. Since the affair is settled, Vittorio, and your father is urgent for the celebration of the marriage at as early a day as possible, I need not withhold from you the gratifying fact of the fanatical attachment of my little girl to him toward whom she has so much cause to feel gratitude." Vittorio listened to this revelation with feelings that may better be imagined than described. He flushed and grew pale as he recalled his father's urgent request that he should have a good miniature taken of himself the preceding year and transmitted to him. This, then, was the use which was to be made of it, and the passion of this young and ardent girl was to be fostered by the delusive belief that it was sent as a gift from himself. How was he to undeceive her? How tell her that his heart was irrevocably devoted to another? While he mechanically followed the Count in a confused maze of thought and feeling, the former summoned a servant and sent him with a message to his daughter, informing her that in half an hour he would join her in the hall of the Alhambra in company with Count Vittorio Colonna. Opening a door which led into a long suite of apartments, Amalfi said: "I had a fancy to reproduce in this confined space the wonders of Pompeii. Of course it is on he confined scale, but I think my success has been perfect. Enter and judge the effect for yourself." Vittorio stood in what seemed a palace of a bygone era, embellished with every object that could preserve the illusion or heighten the effect. He had visited the ruins of the excavated city, and he now gazed with delight upon polished marbles, frescoed walls, and the graceful lounges that lined them, a perfect facsimile of those they were designed to represent. For a few moments Vittorio forgot his painful position toward Lady Venetia Amalfi, and with true artistic taste examined the details around him. He at length said, with a smile: "It is well that you are rich, my lord; for this fantasy must have cost you a mint of money." "Oh, this is nothing to the suite I have appropriated to my daughter. There (italicized) I have revealed in splendor, and I cared little for the expense. My only object was to please and make happy my darling child. It is all for her; the sweet angel to whom fate has been so unkind. But I will not repine, or be ungrateful, for her life ws given back to me; nor shall I forget that it was through your agency this was one, Vittorio. You are my son in affection, as you will soon be in law, through the sacred relation which will connect you with my child." Vittorio knew not how to reply to this; his old friend seemed to consider the marriage as a settled affair; his daughter had been taught to consider him as her future husband; and he bitterly felt that his father had left him no loophole of escape from the alliance he had planned for him. Should he break the tie at once, and boldly declare his passion for another to the father of her who claimed him as her own? Yet he was assured that Venetia loved him with such devotion that a disappointment might bring destruction to her fragile life. He remembered all the gentle and lovely traits of her childhood, and shrank from inflicting upon her such suffering as might prove her death-blow. Yet the young Count felt that something must be done to dispel the illusion under which Amalfi seemed to labor. He suddenly remembered a letter with which his father had charged him, and, drawing it forth, said: "This was written by my father after the occurrence of certain events at Castle Colonna which I did not think it honorable to withhold from your knowledge. After reading it, I shall be glad if you will permit me to peruse its contents as they nearly concern myself." The Count looked surprised as he took the envelope in his hand, and a strange smile flitted over his lips as he replied: "If there are no secrets in it, I promise to comply with your request, my son." The last words grated on the ear of Vittorio, and he intently watched the face of his companion while he carefully perused the lines addressed to him. A cloud gradually settled upon it, and his lips were strongly compressed as if resolute to restrain the words that arose to them. He refolded the letter, and placing it in his pocket, dryly said: "There is unexpected news in this letter Count; news which I would have given much not to hear, but your father would not thank me for permitting you to see how he has told it. When a man bestows his hand in marriage, it is better that it shall be done with an undivided heart. In your case, that now seems to be impossible, but I trust that my charming child will have power to drive this dangerous rival from your heart. Your father should have had more forethought than to have exposed you to such a danger; but that cannot now be helped; to remedy the disaster is all that is in our power." "I--I am afraid that I scarcely understand you, señor," faltered Vittorio, who was greatly puzzled by his manner, and the tenor of his words. Amalfi frigidly replied: "There is but one course open to you, Count Colonna. You must forget this obscure aspirant to your favor, and fulfill the contract made for you by your father. Your honor, mark me Count, your honor [italicized] is pledged to my daughter, for she has been taught to love you, and she will die if severed from you." "I hope not--I trust now, my lord, for I am plighted to Lucia, and if my individual honor is pledged to either, it is to her. Till very lately I was not aware of the tie that binds me to your daughter. Pardon my frankness, but in this strait I must speak the truth, or play the part of the dastard." Amalfi still preserved external calmness, though the sombre fire that gleamed from his eyes showed how deeply he was excited. He spoke in a tone of inexorable firmness. "I am glad that you have attempted no deception, Count, for your noble confidence dhows me that I may safely trust you with that most precious thing, the happiness of my darling child. Listen to me, Vittorio; even if this young girl were a fitting match for you, you would not be free to bestow your hand upon her, for, from your boyhood, it has been plighted to my daughter. Should you persist in braving the authority of your father for the sake of this young girl, you would sink into poverty and insignificance; lose your position in life, and break the heart of her who has made you the one hope, and idol of her life. I do not exaggerate when I tell you that Venetia would not survive such a blow. You shall see her, and judge for yourself. I will not accept your final decision until you have done so. Having seen Venetia, if you can break the tender heart that clings to you alone, you are much changed from what you were in boyhood." There was kindness mingled with melancholy pathos in the tones of his voice as he concluded and Vittorio felt that he was deeply pained by the revelation so unexpectedly made to him. Yet he could not resist the conviction that his fate was in the iron grasp of a man who would be pitiless in exacting from him the redemption of the pledge given in his name. Yet how could he blame him, if a life so precious to him was at stake. Vittorio knew how adoringly Venetia was beloved by her father, how tenderly he watched over her, and he felt assured that with her happiness in question, he would remorselessly crush all opposition till he had made her own whatever she desired, even if it were an alienated and cold heart. He felt that his could not be called cold to her, for he cherished a profound feeling of compassionate regard for her which would have withheld him from the sacrilege of giving her his hand while his affections were centered in another. He bitterly said: "If this family arrangement had not been concealed from me, I might have kept a guard over my feelings. I would have fled from temptation when it first assailed me, but now it is too late. I love Lucia entirely, and it will be a bitter wrong to Lady Venetia to offer her my hand under such circumstances. I leave it to yourself, Señor, I lay bare my heart before, persuaded that you will yourself recoil from the thought of so great a sacrifice on her part as this must be." While Vittorio thus spoke, the face of the listener underwent many changes, but it finally settled into one of stern determination. He paced the floor several moments, absorbed in painful thought, and then approaching the young Count, laid his hand heavily upon his shoulder, and spoke steadily, though evidently with much effort: "I have [italicized] decided, Vittorio. You will more deeply wrong my child by receding now than even in giving her your loveless hand. I know you to be honorable, true and gentle in your nature, therefore I risk little for her; you will conceal from her the fatal glamour that has been cast over you by another; for it will destroy her to be made aware of it. Ah! if less than life itself were at stake, do you think I would so compromise her dignity as to force my daughter on your unwilling acceptance? Alas! I have no alternative; you must make Venetia your wife, or I shall mourn her loss within the year. I throw myself on your compassion; I have believed you tenderly attached to her, and I have spared no efforts to increase this passion, which I feel will be fatal if she finds the dream of her young life rudely broken. It has been a sad delusion on her part, and on mine, but it is past remedy now. I will magnificently endow her; take all I possess save a bare pittance, if it will tempt you to save my darling from a broken heart." His voice failed his, and Vittorio saw that he was indeed deeply moved. He spoke with emotion: "Oh, Senor, how shall I reply to such generous confidence: If I could make Venetia happy, if another were not sacredly plighted to me, I might set aside all selfish considerations and act as you wish; for it could be no great sacrifice on the part of any man to claim so lovely and pure a being as your daughter for his wife. You and she only honor me too highly by your preference; but Lucia also loves me; she has none save me to look to for protection, and ---" The Count hastily interrupted him: "I will provide amply for her; she can marry in her own sphere or live single, as she may prefer. I will not press on the marriage immediately, though such is the wish of your father. I will give you time to know and appreciate all the grace and sweetness of my incomparable child. You will love her--you must love her when once she is well known to you. Come--let us go to her now; she is doubtless expecting us by this time." In a whirl of emotion, Vittorio mechanically followed the Count, all power of thought stunned by the certainty that he was bound in a bondage from which there was no escape with honor. How he should act, what he should say, in the first most embarrassing moment of meeting Lady Venetia, he could not decide. Any diversion from this painful state of indecision was welcome, and he readily paused at the suggestion of his conductor to look upon the wonderful changes made in the apartments since he was last there. Wealth and taste seemed to have exhausted their magical power of adornment; the halls were in exact reproduction of the Alhambra, their arched ceilings covered with exquisite carvings and inlaid work, on which gliding was laid where it could add to the effect. The walls were encrusted with porphyry, agate, jasper, and petrifactions, mingled with the most precious marbles in one grand, harmonious whole. The floors were mosaic, inlaid with rare taste and skill; and in the centre of the larger room stood a magnificent vase of sculptured marble, into which a fountain constantly played, its falling waters making a low, monotone of 2 THE NEW YORK LEDGER melody, which pleased the ear as much as the surrounding splendor gratified the eye. The Count earnestly regarded Vittorio, that he might discover the effect of all this lavish display of wealth upon him; for alas! poor father! he was ready to humble himself so low as to purchase the consent of the youth beside him to accept his daughter's hand. Vittorio was dazzled and astonished; he said: "This is as beautiful as a dream of fairyland. I could almost imagine myself in Spain in the days of Moslem rule, and this the veritable Alhambra. You have reproduced it on a smaller scale, but in all its pristine elegance and beauty. Your taste is certainly exquisite, my lord." "It was not my taste that was consulted, but that of one infinitely more capable of enjoying all this than I can be. It was Venetia's fancy, and I carried it out. Do you remember writing to her once from the ruins of the Alhambra, and giving her a graphic account of its fallen grandeur?" "Yes--I remember; that was one of the few letters I have addressed to her." "You do not, perhaps, also remember that you expressed the wish that you could create such a paradise as that in our own unrivalled island? Behold, it is done, and at her request; why that request was made I leave you to divine." Every word Amalfi uttered carried more deeply to Vittorio's heart the conviction that his fate was sealed; struggle against it as he might, he could not evade the fate his father had so cleverly prepared for him. He moved silently beside the Count till they had gained a smaller apartment fitted up in oriental style, with hangings of pale blue silk. A Persian carpet of the same color, starred with flowers, covered the floor; and the windows opened on a balcony filled with flowering plants, which made the air heavy with their perfume. They commanded a view of the Narina, with the wide sweep of water beyond, girdled in by shores of unrivalled beauty. On a divan placed near one of the windows reclined the young girl for whose gratification all this splendor had been prepared. Artistically draped with shawls of the richest dyes and softest texture, the head of Lady Venetia only was visible as it rested on the azure satin cushions of her couch, and certainly a more angelic face was never given to mortal being. The light through the half closed curtains fell upon her golden hair, the bright gold that painters love, and shimmered through its glittering meshes, which lay in large soft curls around her fair face. A complexion smooth and white as the purest wax, with a flush that faded or flamed upon her cheeks as emotion prompted; lips red as the dewy coral, curved into a sweet and pleasing smile; and large, dreamy, blue eyes, veiled by long, sweeping lashes, entitled her to the epithet of "Seraph" which had been bestowed on her in her convent home. But, lovely as she was, the sweet and tranquil expression of her face was its greatest charm; one could fancy that the angels in Heaven wear that look of perfect, childlike trust and happiness. That no bitter repining over her marred form had been permitted to darken her life was evident, and Vittorio felt that, under other circumstances, he could have knelt before this lovely incarnation of purity and sweetness and offered the sincere homage of his heart. The flush of expectation now glowed upon her cheeks; the light of love and joy danced in her beautiful eyes. At the sound of approaching steps she lifted her head to meet the troubled gaze of the young Count. Her first impulse was checked by his sombre expression, and she only offered him a small fair hand, soft as the cygnet's down, as she said, in a low, musical voice: "Vittorio, Count Colonna, you are welcome to our home once more." Bending low before her, Vittorio pressed the offered hand to his lips, and muttered a few inaudible words in reply. The Count suddenly stepped forward, lifted his daughter from her reclining position, and said, with a forced laugh: "This is a pretty meeting for a betrothed pair, truly. Vittorio, embrace your bride; Venetia, receive your future husband." She sprang forward impulsively, buried her golden curls within his breast, and burst in tears. Vittorio felt her clinging arms about his neck, he had seen the love-light that flashed into her eyes at her father's words, and he felt that Amalfi had spoke the truth. Lady Venetia loved him passionately--ardently, while he, alas! was devoted to another. He could not refuse to return that tender embrace from his old playmate, and he held her reverently to his heart till her father, fearing the effect of so much excitement upon her delicate frame, withdrew her, and replaced her upon the divan, with an expression of rapturous content upon her features which eloquently told its own story. When the young man glanced at her figure, he saw that she had grown taller and straighter than he had once believed possible, but she was still defrauded of her fair proportions, and the extreme beauty of her face only added to the regrets of those who loved her, that so fair a masterpiece of nature's work should have been marred by accident. She wore a robe of pale azure silk, slightly girded at the waist with a silken cord, with a cloud of white filmy lace thrown over all, and the artistic taste she possessed was evinced in the most trifling details of her toilette. After the first emotion of meeting with her betrothed subsided, the color ebbed from her cheeks, and Vittorio saw that what her father had said was but the truth: she was too fragile to meet sorrow or disappointment without sinking under them. He could compare her to nothing but the delicate lily, upon whose white petals a touch will produce decay and death; and his heart sank within him as he realized the terrible position in which the avarice and pride of his father had placed him toward her. Every glance of her soft eyes assured him that the heart and life of this unfortunate girl were at his mercy; yet every feeling within him recoiled from the thought of sacrificing the being who trusted him to her richly dowered rival. He vainly asked himself how he could escape with honor, after what had lately passed between himself and the Count. Amalfi evidently considered him bound to his daughter by ties that could not be broken, or he would never have spoken as he did in the first moment of their meeting. Venetia first recovered from the embarrassment of an interview between persons that have been long severed, who hold so peculiar a position toward each other. She glided into conversation with ease and grace, which her father aided her to sustain, and Vittorio soon found himself interested, almost charmed, by her sweetly toned voice and gentle, womanly words. He felt that, in spite of her deformity of person, there was deep fascination in this artless and natural being, which, if he had been free, must have won its way to his affections. She spoke of their childish days; dwelt on sunny recollections, which had almost escaped his memory, with a vividness that showed him how tenderly she cherished every incident in which he had been a prominent actor. He said, with a faint smile: "Your memory is better than mine, Lady Venetia, and I am much flattered that your interest in me should have led you to treasure the days of our joyous childhood. I am afraid we shall never be so happy again." "Why should you say that, Vittorio, for I will call you by your name as in our early days, and you must drop the formality of my title. We will be frank and free with each other as in our childhood. Your letters have not permitted my early interest in you to die away; even if there had been any danger of that, they would have kept it alive." "My letters?" he asked, in surprise, for he could not remember having written to her more than half a dozen times in as many years. "Certainly--they came regularly every few months, and at my father's request, the Lady Abbess was kind enough to permit me to read and keep them. They kept me informed of what you were doing, and that was a great pleasure to me in my seclusion." Vittorio could not explain to her what he believed himself, that the letters purporting to have been written by himself were mere transcripts from his own missives to his father, written in a style to please a young girl, and he could very well imagine that expressions of affection for herself had been interpolated which had no small share in keeping her true to her childish preference for himself. Vittorio felt that with every passing moment the net in which he found himself entangled was closing more inextricably around him. To violate his pledges to Lucia; to give her up for this brilliantly endowed girl, would be base; yet how could he strike a death-blow upon the heart that had so long and fearlessly trusted in him? He saw from Lady Venetia's fluctuating complexion that the slightest emotion moved her, and several times since their meeting she had raised her hand suddenly to her heart, pressing it there as if to still the sharp pain that drove the blood in a red flush to her cheek, and then subsiding, left it of an almost ashy paleness. The daughter of an English mother, who had sought the climate of Sicily as a remedy for a pulmonary disease with which her physician declared she was threatened, Venetia had inherited all the frail delicacy of her mother's organization. Emily Russell found a Sicilian husband, and the seeming renewal of health in the bland air of the favored isle, but in the very flush of renewed hope and happiness, she fell dead in her husband's arms as he lifted her from her carriage a few months after the birth of her daughter. The medical attendants pronounced it heart disease, and in the appearance of Lady Venetia were abundant evidences that she had inherited not only the beauty of her English mother, but also her frail hold on life. CHAPTER VIII. THE SCHEMER FOILED. Baldoni lost no time in informing the Marquis of the arrangements made between his daughter and the lovers for carrying on a correspondence. The old man listened to the revelation with an inscrutable smile, and after a few moments reflection, calmly said: "I supposed they would do as much, and it is well for Pepita that she did not attempt to play the part assigned her, without informing me. I shall find means to reward her for this service, be sure of that; but the letters must pass through my hands before reaching those for which they are designed. With such power as that will give me, it will be strange if I cannot sever these two young fools as effectually as I could wish." With an air of great embarrassment, Baldoni replied: "There might be found a way that would even be more effectual than tampering with their letters, my lord." The Marquis turned sharply on him: "If there is I have not thought of it, and I shall be glad to be enlightened." "Marry Senorina Lucia to some good man who will take care that Count Vittorio does not again cross her path." "That is easier suggested than accomplished. Lucia has no other lover, though she would doubtless have many but for the secluded life she leads. Besides, I cannot part from her; she nurses, and amuses me better than any one I could get in her place." "If," continued the steward, slowly, and watching the face of his master with keen eyes, "if you could give Lucia to one devoted to yourself; to one who would still permit her to fill the honorable position she holds here as your companion and faithful nurse, would you refuse to do so, my lord?" "Hum! do you really mean that you wish to enter the lists as my son's rival? By Bacchus! Baldoni, that would be a bitter pill to the proud young aristocrat. I believe he would not hesitate to storm your house, and tear her from it by force, if I could be wrought on to consent to such a sacrifice. No, no--Lucia has been too faithful to me to permit me to force such a fate as that upon her. You carry your devotion to me too far in making such a proposal, for this young girl would plague your heart sorely if you succeeded in winning her." The sallow face of the steward assumed an almost livid hue, as his master uttered these words, but he respectfully said: "I am willing to run that risk; and once mine, I could protect my wife against any mad outbreak on the part of Count Vittorio. My devotion to you is indeed great, my lord; but it would not lead me to make such a proposal as this if I were not deeply interested in it myself. I have long admired this young girl, and if I had thought it possible for her to give up her post near you, I should have asked permission of you to win her before this. The present crisis renders it imperative that an impassable barrier shall be placed between her and your son. Therefore I have gained courage to speak on the subject." "It would please me well, Baldoni, to place Lucia beyond Vittorio's reach, but you will never succeed in your wooing. You are old enough for her grandfather; you are not handsome, my good Baldoni, nor yet are you rich enough to induce a young girl to overlook these objections. Lucia would never consent to marry you, and even to save my son from the folly of sacrificing his brilliant prospects for her sake, I cannot insist on such a sacrifice on her part as this would be." Though swelling with anger and mortified pride, the steward respectfully replied: "I look older than I am, my lord. I have not yet seen my fiftieth birthday; and as to money, I have saved and speculated till my fortune is by no means contemptible. It is much larger than a girl in the position of Lucia has a right to look for in the husband she may choose. It will save you from much embarrassment to accept my offer for her, for if I know the young Count, he will never give his hand to another while she is free." "I also have thought of that; and I have almost matured a plan of my own to ensure an entire separation between them," replied the Marquis, drily. Baldoni hesitated a moment, and then asked: "If that should fail, my lord, will you give me leave to try my chance with this young girl? I--I really have a very strong regard for her." "I regret it, Baldoni, for you must make up your mind to be disappointed. I shall not develop my own scheme just yet, but I have set my heart on the union of Lady Venetia Amalfi with my son, and I will stop at nothing to secure it." "If you will stop at nothing, my lord, you will, in time, see the expediency of giving Lucia to me." The Marquis shook his head. "Put that notion aside, Baldoni, for I will not wrong the girl so far as that. It will be sufficient to separate her from the man she loves, without forcing her into the arms of one so unsuited to her in every respect as you are." "You are complimentary, my lord," and the tone of his voice betrayed how deeply chagrined the steward was. "Nonsense, Baldoni; don't make an old fool of yourself about a girl that would prove the plague of your life if she could be induced to marry you. Besides, Pepita would never bear a rival so near the throne. Between the two, you would soon be tormented into your grave." "Pepita will cheerfully consent to anything that I desire. She is tenderly attached to Lucia, although her sense of what is due to you compelled her to betray the confidence of the lovers. I have no fear that I shall be unable to rule both daughter and wife. Besides, I propose that Lucia shall still remain near you, and in this large castle a suite of apartments could be assigned us without inconvenience to anyone. I would even consent to give up my house, and Pepita could take up her abode here until she marries." The face of the old man was a curious study while Baldoni made this audacious proposal. He replied, with dry irony: "Really--you must rapidly have matured your plans, or else they have been long concocting. Should I consent to give you such foothold here, you would not long be contented with merely managing my estates, but would seek to make yourself master of all around you. I am well aware of your encroaching spirit, Baldoni; although I am infirm of body, my will is strong as ever, and I intend to rule my own house while life lasts. You are a faithful steward, and as such I value your services. In your sphere you are useful to me, and it shall be my place to keep you there. Now, I hope you understand me thoroughly, and this subject will not again be touched on." The speaker turned wearily away, as if tired of the conversation. Baldoni concealed his disappointment and his wrath as well as he was able, and dejectedly replied: "After so many long years of faithful service, I am sorry that you should so far mistrust one so devoted to your interest as I am. I must submit to your decision, my Lord, but I trust you will yet find that it would have been better for all parties concerned if you had accepted my offer to release you from the encumbrance which threatens with ruin the fortunes of your favorite son." "Leave me to guard Vittorio's interests, if you please. I am certain that I can do it quite as effectually as you can. I have nothing further to say at present, except that the letters transmitted through Pepita must be brought without delay to me." "I understand that. My daughter will do herself the honor to bring them in person; and, by the way, my Lord, she asked me to gain permission for her to spend a few days with Lucia." "That they may plot mischief between them? No; the cottage is large enough for Pepita to carry on her flirtations in; I will have none of her wild exploits here. Besides, Lucia is too much occupied in reading or playing to me to give her the attention a guest would expect. Tell her that when the deathblow is given to this unlucky passion of my son, I will give her the Roman pearls I heard her covet not long ago. They must suffice in place of a visit to the castle." Baffled at every point, with rage gnawing at his heart, the steward took his leave, and returned home, to give his daughter the unwelcome tidings that she would not be permitted within its walls to rehearse her part as future mistress of the castle. [TO BE CONTINUED IN OUR NEXT.] BEATRICE'S PUNISHMENT. BY CAROLINE CONRAD. "It can't be true, Beatrice." "What? that I am to marry Chauncy Bryan? It is as true as that you stand there, white with amazement. Why should I not marry him? Do you think I will give up all this luxury to which I am accustomed, when, by marrying him, I can keep it? I don't know how to be poor, and I don't mean to learn if I can help it." Beatrice Delancy flung the heavy silk curtain away from the window with an impatient gesture and stood looking out with her face turned quite away from her sister. It was a dainty place - that boudoir; the walls tinted delicately, and hung with two or three exquisite pictures, the carpet like wood moss strewn with roses, and the windows glowingly draped with crimson silk. There were softly cushioned easy-chairs, and inlaid tables variously littered ; upon one an open jewel case, whose contents sparkled with rainbow lustre as the light struck them. Beatrice Delancy fitted the apartment as much as it became her. Her morning-dress of maroon, with quilted white facings, fell about her tall form in regal folds ; and when she lifted those inky lashes from the slumbrous lustre of her eyes, it was like a too sudden flash of sunlight. She stood looking silently from the window, slowly turning upon her white forefinger a ring whose single stone seemed to look at her like an eye of fire. A plainer ring lay upon the table, among the glitter. Clare's little hand trembled as she picked it up, glancing at the other, and crying: "Oh, sister! I would not have believed it of you." Beatrice turned abruptly, her velvet cheek paling as she met the reproachful expression of Clare's sweet brown eyes, and let her own fall to the unpretending circlet that once had symbolized to her the perfection of earthly bliss--once, when the fond giver put it on her finger, with passionate kisses. How would he receive the news of her falsity? Clare caught the shadowy thought on the beautiful face, and, like a good angel, gliding near, she took Beatrice's hand in hers, and softly tried to exchange the diamond ring for the other. But Beatrice repulsed her angrily, and then bending till the brightness of her sister's curling tresses rippled against the jetty darkness of her own, she said: "See here, Clare: I loved Sutton; if papa had not failed I should have married him. I should have been rich enough then in my own right to have kept my luxury all the same. We are both poor now; I could never be happy in poverty, even with him. So I have promised to be Chauncy Bryan's wife." "And do you think you will be happy so?" Clare asked, indignantly. "Don't preach, Clare," Beatrice said, with a shrug of her graceful shoulders; "it is enough that I am satisfied." Her eye sparkled as it fell on the jewel case. "Look, you little censor! Did you ever see anything half so beautiful? It is Chauncy's betrothal gift." Clare's lovely face flushed hotly as she caught the glitter of the costly gift reposing upon the velvet cushions of the jewel case. "You don't deserve the love of so noble a heart as Sutton Leigh's!" she said, passionately. "Oh! why did he love one so incapable of appreciating him." "It is evident he will not have to look far for one to make amends to him for my obtuseness,: Beatrice said, sarcastically. Coloring deeply, but not replying, Clare rose and left the room. Sutton Leigh had been out of town more than a month, and come back ignorant of much that had transpired during his absence. "Terrible smash-up, that of Delancy's" remarked a friend with whom he fell in company on the way to his hotel. "Smash-up--Delancy?" exclaimed Leigh, interrogatively, his heart thrilling at the name. "Oh! haven't you heard? Complete tumble. The firm won't be able to pay twenty-five cents on the dollar." Sutton sprung up stairs to his room, almost tearing open the door, in his frantic haste, and creating the most wonderful commotion when he got there, among various toilet apparatus-- brushing and towelling, and generally repairing the wear and tear which the journey had created in his personnelle. "Poor child," he soliloquized meanwhile, "I'll go right over. That's the reason I haven't heard. I'm glad I didn't tell anybody what I was going after when I went away. Little she suspects--the darling--what a surprise I've got in store for her. To think that Uncle Mack should drop off just now, and leave the graceless nephew he never set eyes on heir to all his money. Poor old boy! I'd like to have him alive though, to see how happy it has made me --the money of course," he added, with a laugh, as he donned hat and overcoat again and plunged down stairs, and away Beatrice-ward, still soliloquizing as he went: "I wonder how Delancy came to break. Maybe now, a hundred thousand or so would put him on his feet again. I'll sound Beatrice, and if it will-----" The rest of the thought lost itself in the ting-a-ring of the door-bell, as running up the steps, he gave it an energetic pull. Clare Delancy opened the door for him-- there was no servant to do it. She shrank, her face changing to snow in its pallor, as she recognized him. "Ah, Miss Clare, I am glad to see you," Sutton said, with frank cordiality, extending his hand. She gave him hers mechanically, and led the way to the parlor, unable to utter a word. The parlor was dismantled already of its sumptuous furnishing--indeed, there had been a sale only the day before, of the house and its appurtenances; they were only staying in it on sufferance. Sutton's face changed as he saw. "This way, if you please, Mr. Leigh," Clare managed to say presently, leading the way to what had formerly been the library, and which, though stripped like the parlors, had a chair left for him to sit upon. Misinterpreting the pallor of Clare's face, he said kindly: "I am very sorry this should have occurred during my absence from the city. How does Beatrice bear it?" Clare could almost hear the throbbing of her own heart. "Beatrice?" she stammered. "Is it possible you have not heard?" Sutton rose from his chair instantly. "Nothing has happened to her?" he asked, turning pale. "Oh, Mr. Leigh, I am so sorry!" Clare cried. "Will you tell me what you mean?" he said. Clare turned her face away. "Beatrice was married a week ago to Mr. Bryan!" "Married." Sutton Leigh sat down with a sickly smile. "You are facetious this morning, Miss Clare." "I thought you knew," she said, wringing her hands at sight of his appalled face. There is something so terrible in the sight of a man so conquered by grief. "Can it be true?" "God knows I wish it were not, but it is." Sutton Leigh sat many moments, neither moving nor speaking. The blow seemed to have stunned him. He went away presently, with a cold good morning to Clare, and as the door closed behind him she knelt by the chair he had quitted, sobbing vehemently Some vague doubt started up suddenly in Sutton's brain, and he turned back for its solution and saw her. "Miss Clare," he said, with a start, "I hope these tears are not for me?" She got up, blushing affrightedly, but unable to speak, and wringing her hand, he left the house. Matters proved not quite so desperate with Mr. Delancy as had been at first supposed. There was a terrible tangle somehow, which Gordian knot, very much to everybody's surprise, and especially to that of Mr. Delancy, Sutton Leigh came forward and dissolved, as Samson did his bonds. In some inexplicable manner Mr. Delancy found himself upon his feet again, with Sutton Leigh as his partner. Perhaps Sutton thought thus to heap coals of fire upon Beatrice's head, and possibly his generosity was a sort of offering to Clare's tears. Beatrice heard, in the midst of her honeymoon, that the man she had loved, but jilted for his poverty, had turned out rich enough to lift the fallen firm of Delancy & Co. bodily, and place it on a stronger base than ever as Delancy & Leigh. It must have been pleasant news to her. Mrs. Chauncy Bryan was home from her bridal trip, and queening it more imperiously than ever in the world of ton. Nobody set up such brilliant and unanswerable claims to belleship as she. Chauncy Bryan, Esq., was very proud of his beautiful wife, which was a great deal more than she was of him. He was a wonderfully dapper little man, something under five feet, trotting meekly in the wake of his magnificent lady, and always in such a sleek and unruffled state of preservation as to give one the idea that madame kept him in a bandbox when not on exhibition. Sutton Leigh met her quietly enough. If either were agitated, it was not he. Beatrice was enough affected by his composure, the seeming unconsciousness of his greeting, to long with a feverish desire to know if he had indeed banished her image so soon and easily from his heart. Beatrice Bryan could be as fascinating as Beatrice Delancy, she said to herself; and bent the dangerous lustre of her great, beautiful eyes upon her former lover. Can anyone wonder if Sutton Leigh, with his wounds so fresh, thought within himself, "this woman who has wronged me so loves me still; I will punish her." It was true. Beatrice loved him all the more because she was now forever severed from him; and he avoided her, or yielded apparently to the spells that had lured him once, just enough to stir the woman's passion for conquest and blow the old flame to a blaze that it would be strange if she passed through unscathed. Little she suspected how hateful she had grown to him, or how deep was the revenge he proposed tasting. Sutton Leigh was strangely changed from the frank, genial young fellow he had been in those days when she was his promised wife. Her falsehood and deceit, the heartlessness with which she had forsaken him, rankled in his bosom like poisoned arrows. He had lost all love for her; but he had been wounded in a vital part, his faith in woman ruthlessly wrenched away from him, and he filled the void with thoughts of the atonement she should make for the wrong she had done. He taught Beatrice to thrill at the tones of his voice, as he had once at sound of hers. He taught those long, inky lashes to droop beneath the language of his glance, her hand to tremble upon his arm, and he tasted his revenge, drop by drop, finding, possibly, in its sweetness compensation for the manhood he was bartering for the draught. Clare Delancy had been ill at first a long time, and then from choice had absented herself from the gay circles her sister queened it over. But suddenly she resumed her position in society. Sutton Leigh was glad to see her. She was the first woman he had been glad to see since the morning she told him Beatrice was married. Somehow, into the feverish bitterness that filled him now-a-days, this soft-eyed Clare came like a dewy calm. It was like dreams of boyhood to watch her pure, pale face, and he felt always better for a touch of her cool, white, little hand. Beatrice was fiercely jealous at once; and he did not like it. Though he had spared no pains to stir her jealousy of others, he shrank from having her feel so toward little Clare, the pure fair child. She really seemed but a child to him. Clare saw how it was with Beatrice--not suspecting all, but enough. She felt vaguely, but none the less afrightedly, all that threatened; and, in her pure straightforwardness, spoke to her sister in language of gentle remonstrance. Beatrice was passionately angry, and, in the midst of the fierce tirade of reproach she poured out upon Clare, Sutton Leigh, through the awkwardness of a servant, was shown into the parlor. He was half-way across it before he at all comprehended what they were saying. Neither of the sisters had seen him, and in the brief moment of irresolute hesitation that followed, he heard Clare's gentle but pained voice saying, in reply to the bitter sarcasm of Beatrice: "It is not because I love him, Beatrice; or, if it is, it is because I love you too; because I would save you both. I know how little I am to him; how little any woman can be to him now. You have wronged him once beyond any righting; but now you are going the sure road to wrong you both beyond redemption. For your own sake, oh, Beatrice-----" Sutton Leigh had heard enough. All his pulses were tingling and his brain was dizzy as he turned toward the door. But in his haste and excitement he stumbled, and they saw him. Beatrice cried out. Forcing back his self-possession then, he approached them. Faint as death at sight of him, and the fear of what he might have heard, Clare sank into a seat. Beatrice, after the first overwhelmed confusion, rallied and welcomed him cordially. He scarcely glanced at her. "May I speak with Miss Clare alone?" he asked. It was Beatrice's turn to feel faint. Her treacherous senses seemed really about to forsake her; but she sat still, a glittering desperateness in her dark eyes. With a slight shrug of his shoulders, a faint but expressive lifting of his eyebrows, Sutton seemed to relinquish the point; and turning toward Clare, as though they two were the only ones in the room, "Clare," he said, a great and sudden tenderness coming into his face, "Clare, I love you. Will you be my wife?" The frightened girl put up her hands with a vague gesture. He caught them between his. "I love you," he said, fervently. "I would have told you under different circumstances if I could have escaped from the room without your knowing I had been in it. Nay, shrink not, sweet Clare. I needed to hear the little I did to make me bold to tell you, of all women, that more than I ever loved any other I love you. Beatrice was dead to me the moment I knew her the wife of another." It was enough. Beatrice did not doubt him. It was not possible to doubt that look that time. Slowly, whitely, she glided out of the room. Clare had fainted. She had not been able to doubt either, and in the raptured awe of the moment, her senses slipped away from her, and Sutton Leigh held her for the first time in his arms, as still and white, and apparently devoid of life as the marble Psyche in its niche behind her. Lifting her, he carried her toward the open window. She opened her eyes soon, those soft, brown eyes, whose sweet language Sutton Leigh had looked into blindly till now. Bending, he touched her cheek with his lips reverently. As the color flushed into it, she drew herself gently but firmly away from him. Did she suspect how nearly he had been unworthy of her? Standing so in that tremulous confusion, yet dignified, she said, with the blushes staining the very snow of her downcast eyelids: "You will give me time, Mr. Leigh? I cannot answer you at once." "How much time?" he questioned, anxiously. "Why time, when----" he took her hand again. "When you already know what you are to me?" she said, in a low, abashed voice, but frankly, "for that very reason, I do not doubt you; but for the sake of all, lest you may not know yourself, give me time. I am going to travel a few months with my mother, for her health. If, when I return, you can still say what you have just said to me, my answer will be what it would be now, if I gave it to you--- yes." "I could not ask any different terms, under the circumstances. I will try to deserve you by that time, Clare, as I have not hitherto." And when afterward she became his wife, he did deserve her. MAN AND WOMAN. Man is a creature of interest and ambition. His nature leads him forth into the struggle and bustle of the world. Love is but the embellishment of his early life or a song piped in the intervals of the acts. He seeks for fame, for fortune, for space in the world's thought, and dominion over his fellow men. But a woman's whole life is a history of her affections. The heart is her world; it is there her avarice asks for hidden treasures. She sends forth her sympathies on adventure; she embarks her whole soul in the traffic of affection; and if shipwrecked, her case is hopeless--for it is bankruptcy of the heart. HAPPY THOUGHT. Remember that though the realm of death seems an enemy's country to most men, on whose shore they are loathly driven by stress of weather, to the wise man it is the desired port where he moors his bark gladly, as in some quiet haven of the fortunate isles; it is the golden west into which his sun sinks, and sinking, casts back a glory on the leaden cloudrack which had darkly besieged his day.[*Filed Oct. 12. 1865*] THE NEW YORK LEDGER DEVOTED CHOICE LITERATURE ROMANCE THE NEWS COMMERCE VOL.

THE FAMILY SECRET. BY ELIZA A. DUPUY, AUTHOR OF "THE WARNING VOICE," "THE WHITE TERROR," "THE LOST DEEDS," ETC., ETC. CHAPTER V. THE TRAITOROUS CONFIDANTE. Pepita was on the watch do the young Count; she knew he would not leave his home for any considerable time without calling to bid her farewell, and her father had that morning assured her that it was already known at the castle that Count Vittorio was to resume his travels immediately. Baldoni had gone to a neighboring village on business, and Lettorio was engaged with her housekeeping duties; so the young people had the little parlor to themselves. Pepita was most coquettishly and becomingly attired, and although she had danced till a late hour on the previous night, the roses on her cheeks were not faded, nor the lustre of her eyes dimmed. She held out both hands to her visitor—hands of wonderful beauty and symmetry, as she had remarked to her father—and Vittorio gallantly pressed them to his lips. She earnestly said: "It cannot be true that you are going away, Vito," calling him by an abbreviation she had used in their childhood. "You will not surely leave us again so soon? It is but two months since you returned to the castle, and it seems incredible that your father is willing to part from you again." "It is nevertheless true, Pepita," he sadly replied. "But it is perhaps my own fault that I am banished from my paternal home." "Banished!" She repeated, with well-acted astonishment. "You use a strange word, Count. How am I to understand it?" "Literally, I assure you. My father sends me from him because I have taken the liberty of choosing my future partner in life without consulting him. Pepita, can I ask you to be our friend? You and I have been on the best terms from our childhood, and in this strait I come to you to ask sympathy and assistance from you. I am sure you will grant." In spite of her self-control, there was an eager flash of triumph in her black eyes, but it was instantly quenched, and she asked: "In what can I aid you, Vito, or the happy one you have chosen? I have no influence with the Marquis, then why ask assistance from me?" "My father must know nothing of the service you will render me, Pepita. I must find means of hearing from my betrothed; of writing to her all that may happen to me in my absence. Only through you can this be accomplished; my letters can be transmitted through you, and hers be sent in the same way. Will you brave the chances of my father's anger to do this for me, dear girl? If you will, I shall think you the best friend I have in the world." Pepita seemed to shrink with alarm from this proposal. She shook her head dubiously, and slowly said: "If my agency were discovered, it might lead to the dismissal of my father from his employment as steward of the estate. He would never forgive me; and although I have the will to serve you, if you will look on the affair in its true light, you will see that I dare not venture on such a course as that." "Pepita, you know that you dare do anything on which you have once set your mind. Your father might chide, but he would soon forgive you, for the Marquis is too just to punish him for any act you may commit. Besides, there is little chance of discovery, if you act with your usual shrewdness. If you refuse, I shall know what value to set on the professions of friendship of which you have been so lavish." She suffered tears to dim her beautiful eyes, and thus suffused, turned them upon him. In tremulous tones she said: "Dear Vito, if I consulted my own heart, I should at once say that I am ready to do anything you command. But running counter to my wishes of the Marquis must bring me into a very bad scrape if I should be found out." "Why should you harp on that? Who is to betray you? and what has become of your natural independence and fearlessness that they fail you at the first test? Excuse me for asking this kindness of you, since you are so unwilling to grant it. I can at least depend on you not to betray my confidence?" "How can I do that, when you have not told me to whom the letters are to be sent? I am not so familiar with your affairs, Count, as even to guess who is the lady of your thoughts." "There is but one to whom they can be given, and I do not shrink from naming her to you. I love Lucia." Pepita started with well-acted surprise. "Lucia! Ah, that alters the case. Lucia is as dear to me as if we were sisters, and I will do anything to secure her happiness. My father also takes the deepest interest in her, and we have both felt much sympathy for her since the death of your mother left her so lonely. She does not understand how sincerely I am attached to her, or she would not treat me so coldly as she often does. If I can convince her of my affection for her by mutually serving you, I withdraw my refusal. Yes—I will risk the anger of the Marquis, and also of my father, to do a good turn for the sweet and lovely Lucia." Enchanted at hearing the object of his passion thus spoken of, the Count again kissed her fair hands and uttered his thanks in a most animated manner. Pepita laughed archly, and then said: "So, you and the Rose of the Castle, as Lucia is poetically called, have lost no time in falling in love with each other. More romantic than prudent, I must confess; but she is fair enough to excuse any folly, and the Marquis should have foreseen that it would be dangerous to keep you at the castle while she is there. Come, tell me all about the affair, for I dearly love a good love story." "There is no time to do that now," replied Vittorio, on whose fine senses something in the tone of her voice jarred. "I can only say that we are pledged to each other by the most solemn vows, and we——" Pepita changed color suddenly, and rapidly interrupted him: "You have not ventured to set at naught the authority of your father by a clandestine marriage?" "Oh no—we have not gone that far, but it was because Lucia would not consent. I would have made her mine at all hazards, but she refused to incur my father's displeasure against me, should he discover what we have done. I love her all the more for her high principle, Pepita, and I will arrange my affairs so that I can return and claim her plighted troth before many months have rolled away." "But how are you to do that? You are entirely dependant on your father, and I have heard it said that he has higher views for you." "It matters not—I shall not fall into them. I will seek the means of rendering myself independent, and then I will claim my bride at his hands." "Ah! if you can only do that, how charming it will be. In the meantime, you wish me to become the channel of communication between yourself and Lucia. For her sake, I consent to take this risk upon myself; have no fears of imprudence on my part, Vito; I will be wily as the serpent in the service of the cause I have undertaken, and you may both feel assured that I will do the little that is in my power to advance your interests with the Marquis." There was such apparent fervor and genuineness of feeling in her manner, that the Count was completely deceived. He earnestly said . . "How shall I thank you for this sisterly kindness, Pepita? Be sure that in the future I will seek to prove my gratitude to you in every possible manner. Lucia does not understand your feelings toward her, but I shall write to her what has just passed between us, and she will learn to appreciate you as you deserve. I will now explain minutely what my wishes are." Pepita bent her head in intense attention, and eagerly listened to his directions for receiving and forwarding the letters without suspicion; when he at length arose to bid her adieu, he suddenly asked: "How is it that I find you without your constant companion, Fido?" She clasped her hands with an expression of sorrow, and said: "Alas! I forgot my own grief in listening to you. My darling Fido took something that disagreed with him last evening, and died suddenly in a fit of apoplexy. I had serious thoughts of giving up the dance last night on account of my affliction; but I knew that Pedrozza would feel slighted if I failed to attend his wedding. See—I have to put on mourning for my pet, and I intend to wear as many days as he had numbered years." And she held out her round arm with a narrow band of black crape upon the wrist fastened by a jet button. "And very becoming mourning it is, too," said the Count, gallantly. "Many a sculptor would esteem it a favor to use your exquisite hand and arm as a model, Pepita. I have never seen any others as perfect." "Ah, you flattering Vito! How can you say that with truth, when you have asked a hand that you must think fairer than mine? I do not place myself in comparison with Lucia in any respect, and it seems to me treason to her that you can see anything perfect in another." The Count seriously said: "Lucia pleases me entirely. Her love satisfies the requirements of my heart; but she is not silly or exacting as to expect me to have no eyes for the perfections of another." "Ah, then she is far less exacting than I should be, I assure you. Such love as I could give must be returned with entire devotion, or my heart would be devoured with jealously. Yes—when I do love, it will be with desperation." And the speaker raised her large eyes to his face suffused with what he mistook for the dew of intense feeling. He asked with much interest: "Is it not true that this love is already awakened, Pepita? Report says that you are about to become the bride of young Santani." There was a sudden flash of anger, which subsided into paleness, and she vehemently asked: "Who could have this misled you? I detest Santani—I have never had a thought of marrying him. Neither would my father be satisfied for me to make such a marriage as that." "If you do not like him, it is sufficient reason for you not to accept him; but, in a worldly point of view, I cannot see why your father should object. Santani is rich, and he will inherit money from his parents." "Money is no object either with my father or myself. We are contented with what we possess; but, when I marry, I must have an educated and refined man for my husband. My father has lifted me above my station by giving me the culture of a lady, and it is not probable that I shall find any one in my own sphere to suit me at all. Wild and reckless as I often am, I am not less fastidious in my tastes than the finest dame who counts her ancestors back to the glorious days when Italy was the mistress of the world. No, Vito, I shall never marry a mere plodding money-getter like poor Santani?" "Poor indeed since he is not to win you, on whom I know he has set his heart. But I must bid you adieu, for the sun is getting high in the heavens, and I must reach Catania before nightfall. I shall remember your bereavement, and send you the most beautiful white poodle I can find in that place." "Thank you; but I think I should prefer an Italian grayhound of the smallest species.— Another poodle would remind me so constantly of my poor darling Fido that it would be an affliction in place of a pleasure. Send me a lovely little greyhound, and I will call him Vito and cherish him for your sake." "I shall remember—you may expect one before long; and now, Pepita, console my darling for my absence. I dread the lonely days she will spend in the castle. She greatly needs some one near her own age to associate familiarly with; be her friend, her counsellor, and you may count on my eternal gratitude." "I promise to be all that, and more to her," replied Pepita, with a hidden meaning he was far from comprehending. "I will convince Lucia that I am indeed her friend, though I am sure she has hitherto mistrusted me. I do not resent that, for I love her too much to bear malice." 'And she will love you now; she will learn to trust you as implicitly as I do. Good-bye, Pepita; may the blessing of the Holy Virgin remain with you." The two parted. Up to the last moment Pepita maintained the part she had so adroitly assumed, and the Count left her with the blissful belief that she was the noblest and most disinterested of friends. She watched his receding form with flashing eyes and curling lip, and her hands were unconsciously clenched till the nails made a deep red indentation on the rosy palms. She bitterly muttered: "Fool! to place yourself and her so completely in my power. Permit your letters to pass through my hands, and see what they will say to her when they reach hers. Strange messages will they bear, after I have exercised my skill upon them. Luckily I know enough of your affairs, Sir Count, to impose my own version of your proceedings on a love-sick fool like Lucia. Yes—I hold her fate in my hands, and I will crush the very life out of her at my leisure." She went to her own apartment to reflect on what she had heard, and arrange her future plan of action in such a manner as would most speedily elevate her to the position she so ardently coveted. Pepita had no decided preference for Vittorio, therefore she had listened to his revelation concerning Lucia with perfect composure. If any other could have made her a countess, and the future mistress of a home as magnificent as Colonna Castle, she would have accepted him quite as readily, and she now calculated chances as coolly as if no personal feelings were concerned in the matter. The time passed on, and at length she heard the tramp of her father's horse, for which she had been impatiently listening. Baldoni had been on a mission of importance, and she was burning with anxiety to know if he had possessed the nerve actually to accomplish it. In a few moments he came in, looking even more sallow than usual, and wearing on his face a strangely wild expression. Pepita regarded him with calm surprise; she tauntingly said: "After all, you had not the courage to do it, and you have brought the letter back with you, after putting me to such trouble to prepare it." He sunk on a chair, and wiped the perspiration from his brow. In a husky voice he presently said: "No—I have not. I have sent it, and now I would give all I have if it could be recalled. Although I have long meditated on the means of committing this crime, now it is accomplished, I feel as if I have done that which is unpardonable." Pepita arose, and poured strong wine from a flask she brought in for that purpose; for she knew her father would need it if he had really completed his errand. She calmly said: "It is strange that I have more courage than you seem to possess. If you reflect that we are only removing an obstacle from the upward path we are resolved to tread, you will soon recover your usual composure. Count Angostina will perish, but of what value is his life to any one? He is a neglectful son, an indifferent brother, and I think I have heard you say that he leads a most reckless and dissipated life. Why, then, should you hesitate about putting him out of a world in which he is no longer necessary?" Baldoni regarded her with a half-bewildered expression; he vaguely muttered: "He was fond of me as a lad; he wasn't bad-hearted. He would never have hurt a hair of my head, yet I have sent him his death-warrant. Oh, child, are you quite sure that—that this fatal letter will do its errand? I almost hope that it will not. I—I have a strange feeling here, that I am afraid will never leave me when I hear that he is really dead," and he laid his hand upon his heart. "Tush! such drivelling is unworthy of a man of your sense," replied his daughter, with some impatience. "Regard him as dead from this moment, for as surely as the letter reaches his hand, and he opens it himself, so surely will he perish as Fido did; yes—his fate will be even more sudden. Are you quite sure it will reach its destination?" Baldoni sat with dilating eyes and working lips; Pepita approached and laid her hand upon his shoulder, as she repeated her question. Making an effort to recover composure, he slowly said: "There is no reason why it should not. Count Angostina is in Berlin, where he intends to remain during the gay season. The mails pass regularly to and fro, and his father hears from him every month. Oh no! there is no hope left that the letter will not reach him, and do its dreadful work." Pepita again offered him wine, which he eagerly swallowed. and she watched its effect upon him until his eyes began to glisten, and the leaden hue of his complexion changed to a more natural tint. She then caressingly said: "My darling father, you look on this affair too seriously. I did not shrink when I offered up my pretty Fido as a sacrifice to your curiosity last evening, then why should you feel so badly about what will happen to this supernumerary Count? His life is of no more real value than that of my precious pet." "But this is a human soul, child, sent into the great unknown unprepared; perhaps unwilling to leave its earthly tenement. It is that which shakes me so." A skeptical smile crossed the girl's ruby lips, and she contemptuously replied: "Pooh! what difference does that make? Count Angostina will lie in his grave as unconscious of all that has been done in this lower world as Fido lies. You surely do not believe that after death, anything else is to come? You yourself have taught me that it is but an invention of the Priests to prevent people from committing the evil to which they are often prompted. You have always asserted that there is no reality in future punishment." "I know it," he gasped. "I have always refused to believe in the teachings of the church. But if there is truth in them after all, what is to become of you and me?" There was a tone of wild dread in his voice, that made the listener shiver in spite of her hardness, but she lightly replied: "It will be time enough to think of that when we come to die. So far as I am concerned, I intend to make the most of this life. It is all I can count on with certainty, and I do not enjoy it, it shall be my own fault. Come, drain the flask, and hear what I have to tell you. Look on Count Angostina as already dead and buried, for he will not live two hours after opening your letter. When I hear that he is safe under the sod, I shall feel as if I am a step nearer the goal of my ambition, for Vittorio has voluntarily placed himself, and his adored Lucia at my mercy." The communication partially aroused the half-paralyzed faculties of Baldoni, and he rapidly asked: "In what way can he have done this?" She scornfully replied: "He has done me the high honor to propose that I shall play that part of go-between for himself and that detestable girl. He is positively pledged to her, and vows that he will marry her in defiance of his father. Think of it! This foundling, this pauper, educated by charity, with not even a name to call herself by, aspires to become a Countess of Colonna, and Vittorio is weak and mad enough to think of estranging himself from his father—of forfeiting his inheritance to make her such. Is it not shameful?" "Pray explain to me what he really asked of you." "He wishes me to receive, and forward his letters. Let Lucia beware lest some of them may bring to her as sudden a fate as that which awaits Count Angostina." Baldoni seemed endued with sudden energy. He imperiously said: "I will have none of that, Pepita. Understand me at once, and act on my warning. The life of this girl is important to me; why, I will not now explain, but I will not have it tampered with. If I thought you would attempt to use your deadly drugs against her, I would effectually prevent it by removing them from you." "Ha! ha! so, her pretty face has made its way to your heart too, and you wish to save her to become the nurse, and companion of your old age. Well—I promise not to balk you, provided you give me Vittorio, and the sway of his lordly home. I wish you also to comprehend me fully. I am not jealous of Lucia, for I care too little for that silly boy to cherish such a feeling. I only care for what he can bestow upon me. If I loved him, it would be far different! then she would not be safe from me an hour. She could not breathe the same air with me and live." Baldoni drew a long breath—after a pause he said: "I believe you speak the truth; Pepita, and I lay aside my fears on Lucia's account. One fate lying at our door will be enough to repent of, should there be another world in which we must answer for the deeds done here. This one is wide enough for you and this poor girl to live in, without coming in collision with each other. What use will you make of the letters confided to you? You will not deliver them of course?" "There you are mistaken. I shall examine them and alter them to suit my own purposes. Do you remember that we three took lessons from the same writing master, and learned to write almost exactly alike. You see that it will be easy to make any alterations I please, or even to write another letter to suit my own views. I shall make Lucia believe that Vittorio finds there is no escape from the marriage with the heiress of Amalfi, and with her conscientious scruples, she is exactly the person to give him up, even if it breaks her own heart." "Not much danger of that," sneered her father. "Hearts are rather tougher than poets think, and not half so easily broken as sentimental people imagine. At any rate, Lucia's must brokenly live on, for I have laid out a very different fate for her." Baldoni spoke with the hard acuteness natural to him, and his daughter saw that he had quite recovered his usual equanimity. After a few moments of deep thought he coldly went on: "It is necessary to the success of my plans2 THE NEW YORK LEDGER that the Marquis shall become so much enraged with Lucia as to cast her off without the provision he has promised her. If he can be wrought on to do this, she will be thrown completely in my power and I shall use it to further my own views. The letters sent by both Vittorio and herself must be laid before him, while you manufacture others for the perusal of the lovers." "As you will. It will be best to screen myself from all chance of the anger of the Marquis falling on me, and placing the letters in his hands will effectually do that. But you forget that Lucia, with her fine voice, can easily find means to render herself independent without accepting assistance from you." Baldoni's face darkened at this suggestion, but he said: "If she loves the young Count, she will never use her talents as a means of support; for she will feel that his pride will never permit him to make a public singer his bride. She will endure much suffering sooner than relinquish the vain hopes she cherishes. Thus I shall hold her at my mercy. I will at once inform the Marquis of the arrangement to maintain a correspondence through you, and I know beforehand what a white rage it will throw him into. But he will control himself before me. He is the only man I have ever seen with so violent a temper who can so completely master its outward expression." "I am afraid that he can never be wrought on to part from Lucia. He is so frail, so dependent on her for amusement, and for good nursing, that it would fare ill with him if he were deprived of her care." "But for those considerations he would have sent her off last night, when the notable discovery was made that his best loved son is ready to play the fool for her pretty face," said Baldoni, bitterly "But I do not despair of yet inducing him to give her up." "It seems that the Marquis is not the only one ready to play the fool for her sake," was the sarcastic rejoinder of Pepita. Her father turned sternly upon her: "It is not for you to sneer at me or my preferences. I have been a most indulgent father to you, Pepita, and you shall not speak to me so disrespectfully. With your assistance I have committed a great crime, solely for the purpose of elevating you to a high worldly position. Henceforth we are allies in crime as in success, and I will bear no taunts from your lips. If I forbear toward you, you shall equally do so toward me. Remember that it is my firmness, my dexterity that can yet consummate your wishes, for you have only entered on the path that leads to the brilliant reward to be attained. Make yourself useful to Lucia; gain her entire confidence, and, if possible, her affection, for that will further my plans. If you wish it, I can easily gain from the Marquis permission for you to spend a few days at the castle with her." "Oh, do, if you please! I have always wished that I could make the castle my home, as she does. I can rehearse my part as its future mistress while I remain. But you need not speak so crossly to me; I know all that I owe you, and you know that never was a father loved better than I love you—you dear, and, scheming man that you are." And Pepita made her peace, as she usually did after being chided, by throwing her arms around his neck, and kissing him with a great apparent show of fondness. The scene was ended by the appearance of the housekeeper at the door, and the announcement that dinner was served. CHAPTER VI. THE SIBYL—A STRANGE CLEW. Count Colonna soon left his paternal halls far behind him. In truth, the irritated state of his mind caused him thoughtlessly to press his high-mettled steed to his best pace till foam gathered on his flanks, and his servant ventured to remark: "We have plenty of time before us, my lord, for the packet does not leave Catania before tomorrow at noon." "True," replied his master, slackening his pace; "and this beautiful country is better worth looking at than the dingy walls of a town. I will have pity on Saladin, and proceed at a more moderate pace." He glanced over the panorama spread before him as he spoke, and was struck anew with its exceeding loveliness. Sicily was well called the "Garden of the Hesperides," for no land beneath the broad cope of heaven is more beautiful or productive. The undulating country was covered with luxuriant vegetation, mingled with groves of olive and mulberry, and beyond them lay the blue immensity of the Mediterranean glistening in the bright sunshine. In truth, the traveller soon found the last oppressive, and he was glad to gain the shelter of a group of chestnut trees which tradition said once formed the huge trunk of a single forest giant that had been dissevered by time, or rent by the rage of the elements. It was called by the peasants Castagna di cento cavalli, or the chestnut tree of a hundred horses, because in its palmy days it was believed to have been capable of sheltering that number of animals, and it is one of the curiosities usually visited by travellers on their way to Mount Etna. Its wide spreading branches now offered shelter to our travellers, and they dismounted and secured their steeds that they might enjoy a siesta during the heat of the day, and discuss the lunch Lingui had been thoughtful enough to bring with him from the Castle. Of the latter the valet appropriated much the larger share, for in spite of the exercise he had taken, the young Count had very little appetite: when he rose and strolled away to dream of Lucia and plan for the future, Lingui sat down in his vacated place and did ample justice to the good things he had provided. Vittorio wandered slowly around the famous tree, apparently examining its gnarled and rifted branches, but in reality his thoughts were far away. He had often visited the spot before, and it no longer possessed the attraction of novelty, therefore his mind easily wandered to the miserable uncertainty of his own affairs, and the beloved one from whose presence he had been banished. His reverie was interrupted by a slight noise near him, and looking aronnd he saw a tall woman with eyes of intense blackness and an expression of benevolence mingled with shrewdness upon her face. She wore a dark robe girt in at the waist with a cord, which fell in flowing folds to her feet. A white mantilla was thrown over her head, and a string of beads sustaining a crucifix hung from her girdle. The Count knew at once that she was what in Sicily is known as a nun of the house. That is, a woman who has taken the vow of celibacy and pledged herself to perform certain ceremonies and undergo penance without immuring herself within a convent. She held in her hand a small basket nearly filled with herbs which she seemed to have been gathering. The young stranger nodded to her with his genial smile, and something in his face seemed to attract her gaze. She cordially returned his salutation, and said: "A fair day to you, Senor, and a happy ending to your journey. But if I can read faces aright, you expect little satisfaction from words. Your heart is in the home you have left, for I see that it is not bounding joyfully with the anticipated pleasure of meeting those to whom you go." Vittorio was arrested by the singularity and freedom of this address. He regarded her attentively as he said: "You must be a shrewd reader of faces, if you can see all this in mine." She gravely and impressively replied: "Those who have suffered much themselves soon learn to defect its signs even in the youngest face. You bear within you a disappointed and restless heart. Something very near akin to anger is surging there against the one to whom you owe allegiance and duty. Even now you are are meditating rebellion against him who has the power to make or mar your future destiny. Is it not so?" The young man regarded her with intense surprise. He quickly asked: "How can you have discovered all this in my face? I had no idea that it could be read as the page of an open book." The nun smiled faintly: "Have I not spoken the truth, Senor? Ah! you need not answer me in words. The expression that flitted over your face but now assures me that my random guess has hit the mark. Will you permit the stranger whom fate has casually thrown upon your path to warn you that in obeying the commandment which says 'Honor thy father and thy mother,' can alone be found prosperity or contentment. I doubted this once, but I know it now by bitter experience." "Who are you, and why should you speak to me thus?" asked the Count, with slight asperity. "Do you know anything of me, or my affairs, that you should venture on offering such a warning?" "I know nothing of you, Senor, except what my sagacity enables me to read in your ingenuous face, which is as an open scroll to one who has the wit and power to interpret it. You are new to grief, or you have not yet learned to conceal its signs. There is but one sorrow a man of your age is likely to feel keenly; that is, a disappointment in love, and, with so handsome a cavalier as you are, parental authority is all that is likely to run counter to your wishes. Nay--do not blush, for I am old enough to be your mother, and I but use the freedom of one in speaking to you." "Yet I find it very singular that you should address a stranger thus." "Well, perhaps it is. I am unlike other people, I believe; nor, to tell the truth, do I care to resemble them much. I am of Gipsy blood, as my dark face may already have informed you, and I possess the gift they claim by inheritance—that of foreseeing the future. Now you know that I belong to that wierd race, you will feel less surprise at my power to read your feelings." Vittorio touched the cross and asked: "Is not this a strange symbol to be worn by one of your blood?" "No—for I am a Christian—a lay nun, as you may perceive from my costume. If I am of Saracenic descent, there is no reason why I shall cling to the Mussulman's faith when I have found a purer and more elevating one?" "Of course not—I merely asked for information. But if you can really foretell the future, may I ask of you to reveal to me what fate may have in store for me? That is, if it is bright; sorrow will come surely enough without being foretold." She fixed her large eyes on him and impressively said: "Life is a mingled web of good and ill, and no seer can separate one from the other. If you would be told of the bright fortune, you must also hearken to the evil that as a shadow falls on every human lot. On that condition I will look into the future for you, and reveal as much of the first as is necessary to elucidate it." Vittorio hesitated. He had little faith in her pretensions; but the woman herself deeply interested him. At length he held out his hand with a smile, and said, as he drew a coin from his pocket with the other: "I believe your people can do nothing unless the hand is crossed with silver. Here is my oblation; you can tell me as much as it will purchase." The nun balanced the money upon her finger and thoughtfully repeated his words. "As much as this will purchase. Do you know that even so trifling a sum as this can then purchase life for the destitute—relief for the suffering? Yes, Senor, I will keep your coin, for it will make one widow's heart sing for joy, trifling as its value seems to you. I do not often exchange my mystic lore for wordly gear; for I am a Christian woman, and not a wandering Zingari as you may suppose. When I do such a thing, it is that I may gain the means of ministering to the necessities of those who are poorer than myself. Young man, I did not waylay you for the purpose of winning the Gipsy's fee; something in your face attracted me, and I spoke the words I did almost without any volition of my own." The Count waved his hand impatiently. "It matters not what your motive was; I shall be glad to profit by your gift to untangle the difficulties that beset me, if anything you can tell me can possibly have such power." "I see that you are an unbeliever," she gravely said. "But that matters not. Let me look upon your hand." She took it in her own hand and eagerly scanned the palm, shaking her head and muttering to herself. Vittorio at length became impatient, and drily said: "It takes you a long time to determine what my fate shall be. Make up your mind quickly, and I will double the fee." She waved her left hand toward him with a warning gesture and muttered: "Hush—hush unbeliever, and let me hear what the spirit is whispering to me. I will first tell you of the past, and then, perhaps, you will give credence to my predictions of the future." Interested and a little awed by her manner, the Count stood passive till the nun again spoke: "Cradled in luxury, fondled in love, your life till very lately has been free from care or annoyance. But the passionate dream of youth has come to you, as to all of mortal mould, and you have taken the imprudent step which will lead to suffering to yourself—to great evil to her you love. Even now she is in danger from a false friend, from a haughty father, and an interested wooer." Vittorio drew his hand decidedly away. He disdainfully said: "Enough—your familiar is a false spirit, for he has not revealed to you the truth concerning my affairs. If I do love, the object of my passion is so girt around by faithful friends that she can be in no danger—I do not wish to hear any more." "As you please," was the composed reply. "But time will surely prove to you that I have spoken the truth. A confidence you have recently given will be abused, for she in whom it was reposed seeks to supplant the possessor of your heart. I bid you beware of that false one. You will marry twice; the first time the bride will not be of your own choosing, and she—" The young man hastily interrupted her. "I shall marry but once, and if death snatches from me the joy of my life, no other woman shall ever fill her place." "Ah! the first one will not be the joy of your life. She will bring you lands and gold; the other will give you what every human heart requires—true sympathy, tender and enduring love; but bitter will be the trials you must both pass through before you attain happiness." "So, after spending the best years of my life with my well dowered but unloved bride, I am to bestow the lees of it on the one I prefer. Thank you—I had rather take my fate in my own hands, and carve out a more agreeable future for myself." "Can the decrees of fate be changed by human effort?" asked the nun, gravely. "Go on your path, Senor; but, in the years to come, you will often recall the image of the sibyl who this day crossed your path, and remember how truly she predicted your future." She bent her head in salutation, and turned away in the direction of a group of cottages that lay nearly at the foot of the descent nestled in a grove of trees. Vittorio called after her: "Come back and take the money I promised you. Even if my fortune does not please me, I must pay what I offered for it." The nun paused in her descent, and after a moment of indecision, retraced her steps. She gravely said: "I have no right to refuse your offering, for all that I can earn is dedicated to charity. That is a part of the vow I have taken, and until I find what I have set out to seek, every penny I make must be devoted to the poor." "Will you think me impertinent if I ask what you are in search of?" "Certainly not. I'm willing to tell any one, in the hope that they may aid me in finding a lost child." "Your own child—" She interrupted him. "The child was not my own, for I have never been married; but she was entrusted to me in a most solemn manner by her dying mother. I have lost sight of her for many, many years, but I availed myself of the first moment of freedom to set out in search of her. When I find her, I will tell her the little I know of her poor mother, and if she needs a friend I will be one to her." "Really, this is a strange quest for you to spend your days in. May I ask how long it has lasted?" "It is seventeen years since the child I speak of was confided to me, but until within the last few months I have thought little about her. After the death of an aged and infirm mother, I constantly dreamed of the poor girl; and in my waking hours, something daily impressed me to seek her. The feeling at length grew so strong, that my conscience was troubled by my long indifference to her fate. I took the vow which binds me to wear this dress, and minister to the wants of the destitute till my neglect is expiated, and my name child found." "Tell me your name, and perhaps I shall be able to aid you. I know every family for miles around here, and if your lost protégée has been taken in by one of them I may have the power to furnish you with a clue to her asylum." "My baptismal name was Lucia, though I have now taken that of the mother of Christ, and am known as Sister Maria. But what causes you to flush and pale in so singular a manner, Senor?" "It is because I am interested in your story. Lucia—it is a sweet name, and I know a young girl who bears it who came under the protection of my own family in a singular manner. Ah! if she proves to be the child you seek, and you can give me a clue to her family, I shall be your everlasting debtor." The woman grasped his hands eagerly. "Tell me—tell me of her. I took my Lucia from the arms of her dying mother; I promised to watch over her future—to rear her as my own, but that night her father came; he had escaped from the prison to which he had been consigned for life, and made his way to the spot on which he knew his wife had taken refuge. He found her lifeless corpse; and never have I witnessed such grief as he manifested when convinced that life was indeed gone. He watched beside her till she was laid in her humble grave, and then asked to have the infant, which his wife had solemnly given to me, remain with him for a few hours. "I could not refuse this request, and he took the sleeping child into the room in which her mother had died. Worn out with watching I slept heavily that night, and when I awoke the door of my cottage was open, and the stranger was gone, taking the infant with him." "But did you not follow him, and endeavor to recover the child? or were you willing to be rid of the charge?" "I loved the helpless little creature, and I made every effort to recover her, without success. Senor Rispoli, as he called himself, had left no clue behind him, but I shall always believe that he wandered away in a fit of derangement. If he had been capable of reflection he would have known that I would do a better part by the poor babe than any stranger in whose care he might place her." "Pray tell me of the young girl of whom you spoke. While my mother lived, I stifled my wish to seek the child wherever she might be found; but when she died my conscience would not let me rest, and I took the vow which has kept me wandering from place to place for the last year in the forlorn hope of finding her again. Something whispers me that I shall yet meet her, and be of essential advice to her." Vittorio had listened to this revelation with the most vivid interest, and he now said: "The young lady you seek may be the one of whom I speak, for my mother found her in a cottage on the Colonna estate, where she had been left to be nursed. A toil-worn traveller placed her there, with money to defray the charges for a few months, and a promise of more; but he never returned—never noticed her existence in any further manner; and if her beauty had not attracted the Lady of Colonna, who adopted and educated her as her own daughter, she must have grown up among the ignorant peasantry." Sister Maria regarded him searchingly. She gravely said: "And you are the heir of that ancient house. The foundling is your true love, and the pride of your family forbids the marriage with an unknown and portionless girl. Am I not right, Senor?" Vittorio flushed deeply: "You have divined a portion of the truth, but that is little to the purpose. Can you tell me anything of Lucia's family? Were she proved my equal in birth, I might be permitted to follow my own inclinations; for I am not the heir; I am but a younger son." "Of the family of my Lucia I know nothing, save that her parents evidently belonged to the educated and refined classes. They were refugees from Italy, and I am sure Senor Rispoli was imprisoned for some political offence. His wife brought with her but few relics of their better days, and of the small sum of money she possessed little was left when she died. The only thing she left was a small casket, containing an enamelled miniature of herself, from which the gold setting had been removed to be sold to the pawnbroker. I have always carried it with me, and if your Lucia resembles it, I shall know that she is the one I seek, for even as an infant she was wonderfully like her mother." "Pray let me see it," said Vittorio eagerly. "If you will accompany me to the cottage which shelters me for the present, I will gladly do so. The picture is safe there." Of course there was no alternative but to consent, for the young Count felt that he must see the miniature, and set his doubts at rest, though after all he had gained no more information concerning Lucia's origin than he had felt convinced of before; that she was of gentle blood he had never doubted. Returning to the spot on which Lingui was enjoying a comfortable siesta after his abundant meal, Vittorio aroused him and ordered him to lead the horses toward the group of cottages, and remain with them while he entered one of the houses a few moments. Lingui immediately prepared to obey, and in a few moments was ready to follow his master. As they drew near the house the Count saw that it was built of blocks of lava burned to perfect blackness, with a single window and door opening toward the road. It contained two apartments kept with more neatness than is common among the poorest class of the peasantry, and a healthy-looking woman sat just within the door engaged in the usual employment of her caste, spinning flax; a pallid child with eyes of almost preternatural brightness sat up in a rough cradle near her, and a single glance assured the visitor that he was distorted in form; that he was one of those helpless cripples with which Southern Europe abounds. A glance around enabled him to take in the furniture of the outer room. A bed stood in one corner, with a stand beside it supporting a glass case in which was a waxen image of the Virgin Mother holding her child in her arms, and on the miniature shrine in front was placed a child's leg, also modelled in wax, which was doubtless intended to represent that of the unfortunate boy in the cradle, and he felt sure that prayers were daily offered to the Madonna for the restoration of the helpless little cripple. In one corner of the room was a butt of the thin sour wine used by the peasants, and on a table in the centre of the floor the usual dinner was awaiting the return of the lodger. It consisted of a dish of boiled maccaroni, a loaf of brown bread, and a saucer of fennel—the last being a favorite addition to a Sicilian meal. When the mistress of the cottage saw them come in, she arose with natural courtesy, and greeted the stranger: "You are welcome to our humble roof, Senor, and may the Holy Virgin have you in her keeping." "This is the young Count of Colonna, Rosella, and he thinks he can aid me in tracing my lost one. I casually made his acquaintance while gathering herbs to strengthen your little boy. I do not know how I came to speak to him of my mission, but it was lucky I did so, for he knows, or he thinks he knows my Lucia." The woman looked pleased and surprised, and she replied, with a devout motion toward the waxen Madonna: "I told you if you would only persevere in your petitions to Our Lady to help you, she would guide you to the right way to find your child. You see I was right." "Perhaps so; at any rate the prayers made me more patient and hopeful. Be seated, Senor, while I seek the miniature of which I spoke." The nun pushed a rude wooden seat toward him, and immediately disappeared in the adjoining apartment. The Count turned toward the intelligent- looking child, and asked: "Does your son suffer much? I see that he is an invalid." "Poor fellow! he is very patient, and I fear he is hopelessly lame; but I am thankful that he no longer suffers from acute pain since the good sister came hither, and used such simple remedies as are within our reach. She is very good, and she knows of many things that quiet his restlessness. My boy was not always so; he could run and walk with the best; but one unlucky day he mounted a neighbor's donkey, was thrown violently to the earth, and his hip so much impaired that he has never walked a step since." "Could not a good surgeon have remedied the injury?" asked the young man. "Such as we are cannot command the services of a good surgeon, Senor. Something might have been done, perhaps, but I had not the means to pay for it, for my husband is dead, and at times I find it hard to live, though my cottage belongs to me. Since Sister Maria came, it has been better, for she spends all she can spare in trying to make things more com comfortable." "How long has she been with you?" "Not very long, and I hoped she would never leave us; but now she has found a clue to the young girl she is seeking, I am afraid she will be going away." Vittorio made no reply, for at that moment the nun returned, carrying in her hand a small oval of ivory, on which an exquisitely-colored female head was painted. A single glance was sufficient to assure him that Sister Maria's hope would not be disappointed. In the limpid eyes, the smiling mouth, and general outline of the features, there was so strong a resemblance to Lucia that she might herself have been the original of the miniature. His heart beat quickly as he said: "The person who sat for this must hve een the mother of the young girl of whom I spoke. The likeness to her is very striking." Sister Maria cclasped her hands, and, turning toward the Madonna, devoutly said: "Virgin Mother, I thank thee that thou hast at last guided me to success." Then addressing the Count, she said: "And now, Senor, if you will give me such directions as will enable me to find my child, I shall be much indebted to you." The young Count was slightly embarrassed by this straightforward request. He said: "If it is your purpose to put forward a claim to Senorina Lucia, I scarcely think it will be allowed. She has been reared at Colonna Castle with the care that would have been bestowed upon a daughter of the house. Since the death of my mother she has been the companion and nurse of my father, who is a very aged and infirm man. Lucia herself will not consent to leave him while he lives; she has promised him as much." "I shall not ask her to do so. If she is useful in her sphere, she is doing God's work, and that is all that any human being was created for. But I must see her—must explain to her the cause of my neglect for so many long years, and tell her the little I know of her parents." "That seems right enough, and she may need a fast friend near her. I will write a few lines to Lucia myself which will be a passport to her confidence. For the rest, the castle is but fifteen miles away, and any peasant can direct you to the halls of Colonna." "Thank you. I will gladly accept the letter, and lose no time in delivering it. I will bring you paper and pen." She was turning away when Rosella called her attention to the dinner. "You must need refreshment after your long tramp, sister, and perhaps the Senor will condescend to join us in our humble meal." "Thank you, but I have already dined," said the Count. "I have paper and pencil in my pocket, and I will sit under the shade of your trees, and write my letter while you refresh yourselves." Vittorio stepped out, and placed himself on a rustic bench beneath a mulberry tree where he dashed off a few lines to Lucia, describing his meeting with the nun, and the singular result which had flowed from it. He then went on: "My new acquaintance seems to be very eccentric, and I believe her to be a good and true Christian, and it is some comfort to me to know that you will have a friend near you in whom you can fully trust. The influence you possess with my father will doubtless enable you to gain his consent to offer the nun an asylum at the Castle, and I think he will find her a most efficient person to distribute his charities. She is a sort of Sister of Mercy already, and seems to have infinite compassion for the suffering and helpless. "Through her means we may perhaps be able to communicate by letter with more facility than through Pepita, though she consented to aid us readily enough, and she expressed such warm attachment for you, that I think you must needs lay aside your mistrust. Give Pepita your friendship, my dear Lucia, for I am sure she merits it. "But I must warn you against one thing: the new friend who bears this to you thinks she can foresee events, and she has foretold the most incredible future for me. Do not listen to her predictions; they can never be fulfilled, and it is but a delusion on her part to imagine that she possesses the gift of the seer. "Oh, my darling Lucia, how fondly my heart yearns toward you, but cruel fate banishes me from your adored presence. It shall not always be so, my love, for I will win the right to claim you, or perish in the attempt. Your devoted, Vittorio Colonna." When he came to write the address he paused, uncertain whether he should bestow her new name upon her, or continue to use that which his mother had given her in baptism—that of Vanessa, her own maiden name; but he finally addressed it to Senorina Lucia Vanessa, for after all, Rispoli was probably an assumed name, and she really had less right to it than to the name by which she had hitherto been known. By this time the sun was visibly sinking in the West, and the Count took leave of his new friends, after slily dropping a piece of gold in the cradle of the boy. He would gladly have returned to the Castle with the stranger, but he felt sure that such a course would give deep offence to his father, and he reluctantly mounted his horse and turned his head in the direction of Catania, followed by Lingui. [To be continued in our next.] INDIVIDUAL EFFORT. A LIFE SKETCH BY SYLVANUS COBB, JR. What's the use of your talking in that way, Molly? You know better." So spoke Joseph Barton in answer to a remark of his wife's. Joseph was a free and easy, frank, open-hearted man, somewhere about thirty years of age, and by occupation a machinist—his employers said, the best workman in their employ; and they employed nearly a hundred hands. "I know it is as I say," insisted Mary, his wife, mildly, but yet firmly. "Every person has some influence over the society in which he moves; and as individual societies are influenced, so is the world at large influenced. And, further than this, Joseph: every man is responsible to God and to his fellow man for the use he makes of his example. Ah, you cannot shake off that responsibility. You may abuse it; you may ignore it; but the laws of humanity will hold you to account." "I declare, Molly, you ought to have been a minister. What a preacher you would have made." Mary Barton looked up with a quiet, meaning smile upon her face. "Ah, Joseph, if you had the least particle of reason on your side, you would not resort to such stale and unprofitable jokes." "I declare, upon my honor, I had not the least thought of joking. I meant just what I said. You would make a capital minister. "Then let me preach my first sermon to you." "Mary! You have preached enough to me already. Go and preach to some of your female acquaintances— But it is time that I was at work. I'll hear the rest some other time." "I have only one word more to say," replied the wife, as her husband arose from the breakfast table; "I want you to think of this thing. Reason with yourself calmly and candidly; and while you thus reason do not underrate your own position in society. You possess one of those warm, generous natures which will attract companionship, and the influence you exert must be seriously felt. I leave it for you to determine what is the effect of your example upon your associates." "Molly, you are a curious woman. You flatter and condemn in the same breath." "No Joseph; I have not condemned. I have simply told you a truth touching a social law, and I leave it for you to make the application." "Well, well; I suppose the women must have the last word. Kiss me, Molly, and I'll be off." In the front yard Joseph Barton met his three children, and having kissed them as was his wont, he hurried away to his work. During the forenoon, as he worked over his lathe, he thought much of the morning's conversation; but he would not admit to himself that his wife was right. He did not think very deeply, however. He did not go down into the bottom of the subject. it may have been that there were some things here which he cared not to disturb— some habits of life which would not bear a very close scrutiny. At all events, by noon he flattered himself that he had forgotten the whole thing; and with a snap of the fingers he declared that he would trouble himself no more about it. On the following Saturday, as the work was not driving, some of the workmen took the afternoon for a pleasure excursion upon the water. Joseph Barton, as was his custom on such occasions, carried with him a flask of brandy, and his companions did likewise. They had what they called "a glorious time," and Joseph Barton was in all his glory. He sang, and laughed, and told his stories, and made himself merry generally; for he was the acknowledged leader of the occasion. Once during the afternoon he thought of that conversation with his wife about the influence of Individual Effort, and he said to himself—to his mellow self—that the influence of the present occasion was glorious. Now Joseph was by far the strongest-headed member of the party, and when night came he was the soberest; or, I had better say, the least intoxicated; for there was no degree of soberness about it. He saw the condition of his companions, and kindly resolved that he would not take them ashore until after dark. "Say, boys—we shall want a drop tomorrow, sha'n't we?" suggested Jo. "Sartin," responded Thomas Marshall. "Of course we shall," added Walter Adams, whose utterance was very thick. "Then I'll tell you what we'll do," resumed Barton. "In the morning we'll come down to the boat and take a bit of airing. How'll that go?" "Complete!" was the ready response of the others. It was past nine o'clock when the partyA DIGEST OF NEW YORK STATUES AND REPORTS, FROM THE EARLIEST PERIOD TO THE YEAR 1860. BY BENJAMIN VAUGHAN ABBOTT, AND AUSTIN ABBOTT.

Oh, who would not be a soldier gay and free, And serve the Union cause for awhile-- When honor may be gained, all bloodless and unstained For a hundred days of service in the land. CHORUS--For with Greenbacks quite a pile, We are marching home in style, Our Country is receiving us quite grand ; Oh, who would not be, a soldier gay and free, For a hundred days of service in the land We left our homes and friends to take what warfare sends, In the field, the camp, the barracks, or on guard-- To meet the rebel foe, and his power overthrow, With our hundred days of service for the land. Chorus. But little did we dream, what hardships could be seen, In fighting for our Country's glorious cause-- On hard-tack for to fare, no butter to our share, And Pork and Beans, and Water, made us pause. Chorus. When in barracks sore we lay, without any straw or hay, And nothing but bare boards for our bones-- The rats our toes did nibble, and the bugs made us grizzle, For the feather-beds we left behind at home. Chorus. In wind, storm and rain, no peace could we gain, But drill, march and guard kept us moving-- Oh, how we cursed the day, when from home we had to stray, And leave our wives and pretty girls so loving, Chorus. In camp, not long we stayed, for Morgan made a raid, On Kentucky's soil and there we had to move-- "The battle was severe," and much he did us scare, By robbing us of all we had to lose. Chorus. We traveled night and day, in forts we had to lay ; Forts McHenry and Marshall got the Seventh-- Baltimore was quite in fits, and the ladies all in mits, The regiment was so gentle and so pleasant. Chorus. Not a furlough did we get, nor could we stir a step, But a thtee years' man would stop us for a pass-- If we ventured on our claim of "The Hundred days' Men," He would scoff and jeer, and answer "go to grass." Chorus. We think we must enlist, for our service will be missed, And the bounty now is running very high-- Atlanta now is taken, and the rebel cause is shaken, And the Union ship will soon be high and dry. Chorus. Pretty girls with boquets sweet, our returning footsteps greet; Wives and children, all are coming with a smile-- The flags are hanging round, and pleasures they abound, For past and gone--The hundred days of toil. Chorus. So we'll frolic for awhile, and the hours will beguile, By chatting on the honors of the war-- The dangers we have seen, though some think us rather green, With our hundred days of service in the land.

The most enlightened determined the length of the year by the amount of time taken by the earth in its periodical passage around the sun, calling the period thus adopted as the unit of measure of time a solar year, and divided the year thus obtained into months according nearly with the orbital motion of the moon. A revolution of the earth on its axis has universally served as the basis of all measures of time, and is the only measure of a day. Twelve lunar months are not enough for an exact solar year, and thirteen are too many ; 365 days are also too few, and 366 exceed the true year. These facts we noticed by Julius Cæsar, who, considering 365 days and 6 hours to be the true length of a year, corrected the error in the calendar somewhat by constituting every four year to consist of 366 days, and the intermediate years of 365 days each. The long or leap years, which had an intercalary day each, were always known by being exact multiples of four. This calendar has been generally designated as the Julian, and the mode of reckoning time by it is now called the OLD STYLE. As the Julian Calendar made the year about eleven minutes too long, an error of ten days was produced in the calendar during the period that intervened between the time of the Council of Nice, in the year 325, and the time of Pope Gregory XIII., who was advanced to the papal chair in 1572. on this account Gregory undertook a reformation of the calendar, which he effected in 1582 and which was almost immediately adopted in countries where papacy prevailed. In order to obviate the error which had arisen, it was ordained that the year 1584 should consisted of 365 days only, and that TEN days, between the 4th and 15th of October, should be thrown out of the calendar of that year ; and also, to prevent further irregularity, that no year terminating a century should be bissextile, excepting each fourth of such years. Three days are thus retrenched in every four hundred years, because the lapse of eleven minutes for every year makes very nearly three days in that period ; leaving [?] error of one day only in about 5200 years. The alteration caused by this reformation produced what is commonly termed the Gregorian Calendar, and the mode of reckoning time called the Roman or NEW STYLE. It will assist the memory by observing that when the year ending with 00 is divisible by 400 without a remainder, it is leap year ; and, when there is a remainder, the year consists of 365 days only. All other years in the century divisible by 4 are likewise LEAP YEARS, and consequently have two letters in the Dominical Table, the first being for January and February, and the second for the other months of the year. All years which are not leap years begin and end with the same day of the week, and consequently each successive year commences one day later in the week, except in leap years, when the difference is two days. The new style of reckoning time was not adopted in Great Britain and its colonies until 1752, when the necessary correction, for obvious reasons, had increased one more day. From the time of the Gregorian reformation of the calendar, in 1582, to the year 1699, inclusive, the difference of style was TEN DAYS ; but, as the year 1700 became a common year, instead of being a leap year, by a provision of new style, containing only 265 days, whereas the same year contained 266 days by old style, the difference became ELEVEN DAYS. In reducing this error, it became necessary to take eleven days from the calendar 2 LC"OLD JACK" AND HIS FOOT-CAVALRY; OR, A VIRGINIAN BOY'S PROGRESS TO RENOWN.

"And what knowest thou, foul priest, against the character of my friend? demanded Don Alfonso, but his cheek paled slightly as he spoke, for, without knowing why, he feared reply to his question. "I know him to be a villain!" deliberately replied the padre; "a remorseless, diabolical villain, by nature; and I know that thou art his companion—dishonest from the force of circumstances, rather than from the natural inclination." Don Alfonso grew red and white by turns, and or some moments could not speak for the conflicting emotions which overpowered him. At length, however, he got the better of the great fear which had taken possession of him, and with an air of well-assumed indignation, exclaimed, "Why now thou art adding insult to injury! How darest thou speak thus to a man When Reuben Glenroy recovered his consciousness, he found himself in one of the cells of the guard-house, bound hand and foot. He lay upon his back, and a patch of moonlight which struggled through a narrow window at the top of the high ceiling, was shining full in his face. HIs reflections as he lay there were bitter though. He thought not of himself. It was on account of Inez only that his mind was tortured. He knew that her life depended on his safety, for she could not survive his loss. He also knew that he was in the power of those who were not only powerful, but perfectly unscrupulous. He felt satisfied that they aimed at his life, and that they would find some means to deprive him of it unless some miraculous means for his escape offered. He was almost crazed as his thoughts reverted from his pure young wife to her unprincipled persecutor, Antonio Caselles, and as the idea of what might happen occurred to him, he groaned in agony and struggled to free himself till the thongs with which he was bound cut deeply into the flesh. features of the old man, as he replied, in a tone of apparent carelessness, "Well, well, let him go! Starting back, Antonio regarded the old man with a look of wild surprise, as he exclaimed, "Art thou mad, De Castro, or dost thou not understand me? I tell thee that our prisoner —Reube, the American Ranger—has broken jail—has escaped us!" "I understand thee full well," returned the old man, calmly, "and I say let him go—it is better as it is! Had he not escaped, thou shouldst not have harmed him!" "Should not have harmed him!" echoed Antonio, in amazement, "nay but I would have harmed him, and that to such a degree that he never would have crossed my path again! What witch hath been with thee? What spell is upon thee that thou art thus suddenly changed?" "Listen, Antonio," replied the old man, sadly. "After thou didst leave me on the night of the Ranger's arrest, I summoned my daughter to my presence, and supposing her to be plied the old man, "and shall in no way restrict her liberty." "Pray Heaven you may have no occasion to regret your indulgence," said Antonio. "Good night!" And with an obsequeious bow he departed. "Ha!" he muttered, savagely, as he walked towards his own house, "so the old dotard thinks to deprive me of my lawful prize, but by all the fiends in Tophet, he will discover his mistake, and that right speedily. The girl shall be mine, though an army of graybeard fathers and presumptuous husbands stood to oppose me! Now for my interview with the drunken brute, Pedro. By heaven! Were it not that he has me in his power, he should die a thousand deaths for allowing the American to escape! But I have work for him to do. He shall yet recompense me!" While Antonio is fast making his way towards his own house, let us precede him there, and see what is taking place. Pedro, the jailer, had been directed to call at Antonio's house, and there await the latter's coming. Accordingly, he had arrived there, and according to Antonio's directions, had been shown to his here to-morrow, and in the meantime I shall have fixed upon something. Good night, most excellent Pedro. Thou art my dearest friend, now. I could not move without thee!" And thus the conference between the two villains ended. (To be Continued.) kALONE! BY GRACE DE LA VERITE. No joy for thee, O weary one! Still walk my path of life alone— No hope has thou but for another! No friend to press my friendly hand, Nor gently say, O true, my brother.
