something of a difteroqt matter. Pem

which he properly appreciated, natural

was proper that he should visit her just

again. He had one night vacant, on
which to go to theatre or make tin
call. He dressed in a preoccupied way,
lint tidy, nnd .catching up a paper,
seanned it to see .what was nntuing a
his favorite theatre. The play was
tyb.r&Bi’”'which he isad seen, nnd had
thought ‘‘very .itead,” to use the lan
guage of its leading character. He
flung thp-paper aside gnd bent liis steps
almost* uuitdufcffiotisly towards the Me-
Hdi^jr residehce. It was 'lighted np, ; -as
usual; and, standing before if, his
thoughts were altogether difl I ul from
.those tlint? Lad possessed him at the
*ime he last was there. Then he was
full of elation; now depression! He
conjured up unwelcome thoughts of the
torture to which he was exposed. To
his surmise she -.vis alone. As be en
tered the parlor she was sitting weary
before a slight Soptemberdire, her iitlie
forln coiled’graeefnlly A a huge -quaint
ly-covered chair. One band suj ported
the pretty head. He stopped a mo
ment and gazedmstbetically fascinated,
.not otherwise;-ami fie wondered what
'delicate fancies were circling there as
the snowflakes drift and sink into silent
streams. The dress was costly, the hair
neatly braided, the feet satin slippered,
the hand richly je ; welled, yet the beau
tiful face repiped.; He had not long to
make surmise's, for his next s'ep star
tled her from her posit ion of unstudied
grace. Her-greeting was a compromise;
between grim fear and self-possession.
JES tnc sudden recoil indicate loathing
for him or distrust for herself? He
menially snapped bis finger at this
■question, for he had come to pay a
purely Fbnxeji'jonal visit an 1 not to
busy himself with psychological no
tices. ^ '
So he tallied of everything ofw-pae-
8iug interest and with a strange cynics!
fineuejr. She gazed at him almost' in
was not a cheerful thiag to see.
“I have sometimes thought,” she
said languidly, “that I should like to
teach school myself.”
“My desire is to subordinate every
thing I do to tho pursuit of law. A
knowledge of business or human nature
will be invaluable. Even as a school
teacher I am advancing myself as an
advocate. I shall have before me a
daily jury, whose confidence I must
gain, whose obstinacy I must break,
and into whose minds I must
lodge facts oh which to build a struc
ture of intelligence. I shall always be
at the contrivance of seme method to
dissipate dullness a id awaken latent en
ergies.” He spoke with some enthusi
asm, which he saw had been caught by
her, yet she continued silent, for her
imagination had vested the prosaic call
ing of a school teacher with unknown,
aye, anil unreal, beauties, and she had
forgotten his presence completely.
He good-naturedly; thought that the
annals of the queer might be searched
in vaiu for a simi lar -instance where so
little was said, anil yet such an easy
feoliug of security prevailed. In one
of these gaps of alienee she observed-
iucisively:
“To the resolute, school teaching is a
good traiuing; but it will only con
firm the irresolution of the weak.—
Wilat of I lie people and the ’own?”
“The town is like all couutry towns,
chock full of -caudal. Law and order
ar * a:ere unmikies. The boys have
reached tire acme of imperfection. A
knife was dtawn on the last teacher who
.-udeavored to whip a youngster; and
such pleasantries, .1 am told, are quite
universal; Every townsman has some
thing to say about his neighbors, ami
on the testimony of its residents the
town stands convicted. Though the
society is had, the scenery is'excellciit,

distorted her . features with a grimace,
at which Pemberton gave a hearty sn
perils laugh and sa.d:
Nor should I like it as a perma
nent thing. I would as soon think of
living on a desert Isle as of living there
a life-time. The solitude will bean ad
vantage and the exfttement an iippeti
zcr. For a while I must stifle whatever
ambition I have. - To aim at sudden
greatness is absurd, and my eue is to be
cool aud reserved, for it is not likely
that very great themes will exercise me
in the beginning. I shall nourish my
imagination by repressing if. If the
time ever comes when a gcod blow will
tell, I shall strike high aud await the
result.”
“I think I understand yon,” she
said,“for Irhave bad like thonghts.—
Two dreams are often with me. Oue
fra mesa scene of merely domestic hap
pi ness but uo culture, little of the high-
ir life. The other is. blurred and in

times bnrns me as a burning speech.—
Wheu wandering in its weird w n bugs,
I feei that- human hearts are at my
sway. The hush aud inter-gleam of
beautiful pictures almost make; me
breathless. Yet when I think of my
circumstances; my claims of society and
sex, I despair.of ever doing anything.—
Then the other Views come back a ref
uge.” She spoke hurriedly, carried
away by strong emotion, and at the
close was almost ashamed of what she
had said. Pemberton was strangely
moved, more perhaps by the earnest
manner than the words themselves.
“Why need you despair?” he asked.
"You hav» wealth aud its consequent

hands as if to.shut one an unwelcome

them away.and smiling, said:.

“Tou shall certainly have it,” was
the quick answer. He felt as he had

ably compared to a ship which, though
it had had smooth sailing heretofore,
was now caught in a sudden storui, and
bade fair to be overwhelmed. He even
began to fear himself and the wild ex
citement that p assessed him. The rest
of the time passed an unsettled faint
reality. He could not remember i;„ de
tails; lie only knew that in parting he
kissed something, her hand, perhaps;
yet second thoughts suggested it may
have-been lver. lips. He had now in his
possession an idoal, and a charming oue

her faults indeed, but they were such
as started ideas of perfection, and wero
thus preferable to perfection; just as the
pursuit of-tru-.ii is ull-iini-ortant, aud

of a delirious iiL-al is not- strange, wheu

A merry heart, cheerful spirit, from

Joes more good iu a sick room than a

laughs because it is better and cheaper
than crying. People are always glad to

half way to meet his grasp, while they
turn involuntarily from the clammy
tonch of the dyspeptic, who speaks on

whose bo-.ly was ertmatted in Penn

The only feasible way to prevent
such a catastrophe—and this is deman
ded by every consideration of'truth jus
tice and right—is for thor Republican
party, its organs and leaders to meet
this issue in. the uncompromising and
inflexible spirit. There are nothing
which strikes such terror or causes such
foaming at the month in the minds of
the armed conspirators at the South,
or elecits such responsive bowlings from
their sol-vile minions at the North, as
“waving tiia bloody shirt”—a term of
their own devising in order to make a
jest of the most sanguinary outrages,
but which comprehensively symbolizes
a ioug extended “reign of terror,” da
ring which thousands of'innocent vic
tims Uuva been murdered with impuni
ty for daring to assert their political
rights as free American citizens. Yes,
let “the bloody shirt” continue to be
waved until au end ho put to the shed

sins who are bodly and successfully set
ting the Federal Government at defi
ance, and trampling the Constitution
and laws of the country under their
feet. Let it be shown by “confirma-
riuti strong-as proofs from Holy Writ”
that the South (using tl$it designation
as of old) is still full of the habitations
of cruelty; tlint-’lier hands are sUined
with her garments smeared with blood;
that her feet run to-evil, aud their iff

is as disloyal in spirit as site was when
she fired her first shot at Fort Sumter;
that she only lacks the power to re-en-
slavc the millions who have been eunau
cipateil on her soil, in order to save the
Union and baffle her treasonable de
signs; that in uothiug does she sd much
glory as in her attempt to de

A FIDDLE AGAIJSST A CARPET-1
DAG. \
Robert L. Taylor, congressman-elect
of a Tennesse district, not only won
his election, bnt also a bride. The fair
creature whom he wooed before he won
liis caucus registered an oath that un
less he carried the election she wonld
none of him. It was a discouraging
outlook, for Taylor was nominated by
the Democrats in a district f nruishing
usnallv a Republican majority of 2,500.
He was a mere boy, while his opponent
was a skilled politic in who had carpet-
bagged into the country. Besides Tay
lor had but §5 for a campaign fund—
$5 and a fiddle. The puiliug of the
latter.string contributed largely to liis
election. His opponent was not popu
lar, and Tayior, whom he characterized
as a “beardless boy that fiddles,” won
some Republican support. His cause
was taken up with so much warmth
that he was not under the necessity of
drawing upon his slender pile. He
talked and fiddled his way througn the
district, the voilin figuring as on acci
dent of the strife because of the oppo
nent’s gratuitous sneer at the musical
accomplishments of the young man.
In opening h>s campaign Taylor ap
proached the speaker’s table with a vi
olin iu . m one hand and the carpet-bag
iu the other, saying that the serious
charge had been made against him that
ha was a fiildier. Laying the fiddle and
carpet-bag side by side asked tho audi
ence to choose. The boys took the mu
sic, the opposition mujorur w*s over-
oouitf, * victory of fifteen hundred was
achieved for Taylor, and as soon as he
received his owruficato he secured his
bride, a tteice of Gor. Yanoe, of North

A Beautiful House Plant.—
The calla lily, roots of which may be
proenred of any florist, is one of oar
finest plants for bouse growing when
properly treated. The best method we
have tried is to procare an earthen jar
—suitably decorated ou tlie ontside as
desired by painting or pasting on of
frieze or a flower picture, or by a pa
per open work covering. In this place
rich mold some five or six inches deep,
and in this set the calla. Now put on
the top of this mold a laj’er of clean
coarse sand about two inches deep, and
on the top of this some pebbles. I hen
fill the j .r with water and replace as
evaporated, so as to have tLe water sev
eral inches deep above the pebbles.
Place in a- warm and sunny window,
and the plant will th ow up lagre luxu
riant leaves to be followed by ihe mag
nificent bloom. What is still better
tho flower stalks will be sent off in a
succession so as to afford a nearly con
tinuous series of fijvvers. A few miu-
nows introduced into the water will
thrive without farther care, and afford
a pleasing study.

A GREAT PIGEON ROOST.
Such a sceno as is presented at tho
great wild pigeon roost in the ludiau
Tenitory, some fifty Miles southwest
of this city, is very uncommon and has
no equal anywhere in America.
The ‘roost includes a space of about
forty .iiores in the timber, and when
they return to the roost, in,the evening
the trees are perfectly black
with them. The Indiana will not allow
other parties to take advantage of
the game but hire mon who
sit at roosts of trees aud shoot aril
throw clubs at night, aud the next
momiug the ground is literally covered
with pigeons, aud they are gathered
up loaded into wagons and hauled to
to this city, whenytiie Indians realized
from 10 to 25 cents per dozen for them.
