in the old place, and his plate filled with

down to the table rather sul&Hy. As
for young Maiy, I saw that many times
#he could not hide the tears from her
eyes; and Joe saw it too, and turned
his face.
As he was ta -ic ing his food up and lay¬
ing down a untasted, he suddenly
started, and stared towards the open
door; then gave a sort of laugh if and
dashed his hands over his face, as he
were scarcely awake. I supposed dread of that be

made his own confession to the magis¬
trate.
Before another minute bad passed he
started again in the same way, and
stared at the door, and listened with the
color dying out of his dark face.
This time, instead of checking him¬
self and getting quiet excited, again, he only
grew more and more till at last
ne started up and cried,
I do hear it—I’m not mad i Lord
above! what is that?’
Joe stood holding his long arm stretch¬

heads, commanding silence. till something
Silence there was too,
better and sweeter than any music Joe
Harlan ever heard began to fill our ears;
and that something was a well-known
and well-loved voice, singing and heartily as
ever, as it came nearer nearer the
door,

There was a stir among the children,
a knocking over of chairs and a rushing
to the door, at which Joe stared as if
expecting to see some unearthly thing.

wonderful world than ours. »
‘ Uncle !* Reid Jack.
Joe stretched out his hand like one in
a dream, and touched the lad’s hair; then
gripped his shoulder as if to make sure
he was verily Jack in the flesh; and
then he laid his arm against the wall
and turned his face to it, muttering only.
* Lord above!’
Jack looked at him wonderingly,
then his face grew more serious than I
bad ever seen it, and giving me rather
an angry look, he said,
‘Uncle, this is Mr. Sturt’s doing, my

ask him if I might come home, or if
you’d rather me lay-to at mother’s till

As Joe still remained witl: his face

Still J je was silent, and Jack’s good

The prospect is that our State will be
kept under military rule until next fall,
at least, and while we should have pre
ferred more favorable legislation on the
part of Congress, we did not expect i*,
nor are we disposed to grumble about it.
However just our complaints and con¬
vincing our arguments against the meas¬
ures proposed by the Government, they
are alike unavailing.
It is the part of wisdom to endure pa
liently what we cannot prevent, with a
calm, heroic resignation to go forward
in the discharge of doty, observing faith
felly our obligations to ourselves and to
society. f
The charges of lawlessness and dis
loyalty brought against us by political
enemies can only be refuted by a rigid
observance of law.
There is a moral power in an hoDest,
sincere and fearless adherence to right
that must ultimately confound these
slanderers and reflect honor on us in the
midst of our trials.
Whatever may be in store for us in
the future, as a people, let us preserve
our self-respect—refrain r from all viola
tions . of /, law and , , by precept , and , exam
pie, . show , 4 to the world f, that .. \ neither ... the
vain hope of relief at the sacrifice of
honor, nor the fires of adversity can be
tray us into forgetfulness of the princi
pies upon which our liberties and the
constitution of our forefathers are found
ed. They are imperishable, and under
God will triumph over those whoreck
