With it* ugly women end men; Yearn ago they told my fortune, I wee a fooiieli youngster then: The children dancing round tbe fire, Weaving enchantment an they go, hooking more like elves and fairies, Than just a ragamuffin show. And that ugly fortune-teller. Only told of sorrows and tears, Heading the lines upon my palm. Added sorrows to added years— And now she could read the sorrows In the lines of my face. I know, This witch of a fortune-teller. There with her ragamuffin show. Where is that little bright-haired boy ? hiving ? Ah. me X cannot tell. Were he sleeping by his mother, 1 conld almost eav. “ It is well.’’ Up yonder where the torch lights shine To the Gipsy camp I'll go, For they say that bright-haired children Are in the ragamuffin show. Brighter than the happy sunshine, He hovered round the door at play, And prattled to the passers-by— The Gipsies were in town that day, A shadow fell across the door; Gone—that was all that I could know— Where had that roving Gip-.y gang Gone with its ragamuffin show ? It may lie I'll meet my darling There, where no sin nor sorrow harms, That I’ll eee a bright-haired cherub, Clasped closely in its mother's arms; j When I’ve doue with earth and Borrow, Perhaps, ah 1 if I could hut know— Or it may he that I’ll meet him There, at the ragamuffin show. AFTER THE BURIAL. Yes. Faith is a goodly anchor ; When fekiew are nweet at* a psalm. At the bowH it lolle bo etalwart In Muff broad-shouldered calm. And when, over breakers to leeward The tattered surges are hurled, It may keep our head to the tempest, With its grip on the base of the world. Bllt after the shipwreck, tell me What help in its iron thews, And find iu the deeps 01 darkness No footing so solid as dccpt. Then hotter one spar of memory, One broken plank of the past, That onr human heart may cling to. Though hopeless of shore at last. To the spirit its splendid conjectures, To the tlesb its sweet despair, Its tears o’er the thin-worn locket With its beauty of deathless liair I mm. ’rial ?

[New York World.] The nuxiety of Europe concerning the complications of the Tureo-Russiau cam paign is likely to be inerawied by the entrance into the field of baUfe of two unexpected hostile forces, intarbtal to both sides in the conflict, and threaten ing, moreover, to carry devastation into neutral territories. Cholera and plague, from their recruiting stations in India and Mesopotamia, are on the march, and under the fostering conditions of war it is impossible to foretell the limits of their invasion. Last year cholera was on its route through Persia toward the Russian possessions on the Caspian, •and early in the present Spring grave apprehensions were aroused as to the virulence and rapid diftusiou of tli9 epi demic. Within a few weeks several lo cal outbreaks have been reported, one at Akyab, killing twenty-five per oent. of the* European population in thirty hours, and new foci of infection will doubtless be multiplied. On the other hand, plague, which has been gradually extending its ravages for some years past, bad, even before the commence ment of actual hostilities, spread to the regions north of Bagdad with alarming epeed. Uuder these circumstances the war now iu progress not only threatens disaster to the combatants themselves, but meuaees all Europe with a visitation of pestilence which no precaution may be able to avert. The part played by disease in pre vious conflicts between Rnssta and Tur key has been so terrible that these pre monitions cannot fail to be watched with extreme concern on both sides. In the campaigns of 1828 and 1829, which re sulted in the treaty of Adrianople, the victorious Russian army was almost lit erally destroyed by the plague which broke out iu tbe army of Marshal Dte biech soon aiter it entered tbe principal!- 1 ties. In tbe month of October, 1828, aloue, 20,000 Russian sick were received iu the Roumanian hospitals, without counting the field hospitals; end in Feb ruary, 1829, one out of every fear Rns siau‘soldiers who were taken sick died Daring the ten months from May, 1828, > to February, 1829, there were no less 1 than 210,108 men borne on the Ruasiau j iek list, so that on Count Von Moltke’s estimate of the whole Russian force, non combatants included, at 160,000 nieu, 1 KWk'ry man had, on au average, been twice! hospital, and Conut Von Moltke ! that this first campaign cost i Xheßsseiaus nearly one-half of their ac tual effective iorce.

Tmunlaieil lr ike Cln-oolcle an* CooeeMo- HanslUl, from ike German of Too ScklsrgH. CHAPTER rtt. It was at rather a late hoar in the morning when Caroline waa iwakened by a noise, as if there were many strange persons in the house. Doors were open ed and shut, spurs clinked, aabre# olaah ed, and Caroline even believed that she heard words of suppressed command. She arose and looked through the window. The morning was too bright and warm, the atmosphere lay sultry and glitteriug over the gtrdeu, and the Sasso del Ferro, with the bright little town of Laveno, which clung to i to,base, seemed almost within arm’s reach, Caro line thought she heard light whispering before her room. Noiselessly she crept to the door and opened it qaiokty. It was two maid servants, one of whom ran away frightened. . „ What is the matter in tba bouse ? asked Caroline. . . . “They are holding a coart martial m the large hall over the handsome Ger man officer whom thay eaptured last night in the park,” whispered tbe pale maid. “Oar brigadier asserted that he was a spy, and if that can be proven they will shoot him. Signor Giaoomo says, for war was declared yesterday. With a dull groan, Caroline closed the door and hurried through a row of stiffly fnrnished rooms, towards the large ball. Her breath failed her when she raaoh ; ed the closed folding door; she heard loud voicee on the other side, and opened i it softly in order to look through. At a long table eat a number of Itah ian officers whom Cwouß6 often met in her walks. The yellow tiresome faces of most of them had remained : involuntarily in her memory. Tbe white 1 haired old man with the fine expression J and numerous orders, who seemed to preside, had often been to the villa to visit her father. The countenance of the latter she could not see, for he and Tommaso Paglia had their backs turned to her. The doors, were guarded by : two gens d’arrns, fully equipped with broad shoulder belts and cocked hats, and one of them dressed in dark blue with the curved sword which reached over his shoulder blade prevented Caro line from getting a fall view of the room Several times it actually seemed as if they would lay their blades across the J apparently quiet but deathly pale face 'of the acosepd. Cousin Henry stood in the middle of the room and his trial ; seemed just to have been injsjied. A without evident agitation the old leaned both hands cm the gStableiß tO* somewhat unsteadily. J? ll tl * *■“ which he had to perform w*e a very Pa “Thi accused confines himself to de nying any military or political WPtive for his nocturnal swimming #ieM<®. without giving us an explanation of the j unusual expenditure of strength ana boldness which has been indicated hr swimming twice the whole breadth of : the hfips between Laveno and this place.

At bis just request jyp Uef® also avoided an interrogation of his daughter, and the accused baa not pre sented any witnesses on bis side- Brigadier Tommaso Paglia must there fore bo considered principal witnesa, whose testimony leaves no donbt that the strange intercourse of the accused with this s iaaof the shore had long been prepared for, aud motive of this communication could only bo judged to be inimical to the safety of toe country and the success of the impsudiDg mili tary movements on our side. More re served, but agreeing in substance with the brigiff tor's statements, ate the de clarations of tho Valet Giaoomo Lap delli, and the two rpyepiw officers An tonio Soldaro sod Andre* JJolfl, who have co operated in the arrest. / eused has asserted, indeed, that be bad 1 no knowledge of the declaration of war, I an d it fie tbe task of this court to examine tbe weigh* attaching to this ex cuse. The lew has not prsyided for this contingency, and while I would# onoe make the accused aware of tbe serious ness of his position, I would call upon him to abandon his reserve and make a full confession of feto motives and ob jects, so as if not to prow bis innocence, at least to lessen the iegfte# pf bis gnilt.” The President paused expeotSß tiy, then slowly and significantly, with a sad i but steady melodious voice. Henry von Walden answered ; “I can only repo# that as proud as J would have been to defend ly father land against every open enemy, / have never condescended to be a senret spy- The task which I had to exeeute is uot iay secret alone and I must therefore be steadfast in my silence.” The 014 officer’s face became very grave and with g motion of the hand to she officer sitting on tim fight he took his seat. “The oounsel of his majesty, the King, has the floor.” His majesty’s counsel was a tolerably youthful lawyer, whose long black hair and agitated manner, together with his nnsoldierly, student-like behavior gave rise to the presumption that he hajl re cently exchanged the university for the military court room. The first senten ces of his speech showed also that it was of more importance to tei& to make a favorable impression in the terupp tting of bis new career by a brilliant ami patriotic delivery than to in quire impartially into the guilt of the accused, aua fe enter the lists on ac count of the violated Jaw. He began, thereupon, to prove by tfe; Jji.story of the last fifteen years the treaotievy pf the oouutry to whioh the accused be longed; and, iu WpJl constructed sea-' tences, which would ÜBYfi done him honor at a university examination pr in a debating society, he heaped the guilt of half a century upon the blonde bead of the captured officer, in order to rep resent him as the last and most detesta ble link oi amm which wound itself around the nobfeat effort* pf mankind.’ After the crown's sttoriW ht thdt lie bad laid sufficient stress upop the historical and political view of the affair, he worked Hpon the feelings of his liearoM- H® pictured the horrors and deva&Ubtioiijg Fkich would .be ooca sioned by s hostlte flffeck upon'this beautiful, happy shorej j?. in his mind, vineyards destroyed, yfflM* towns laid in ashes, castles aflff yffffts j the scenes of German orgies, the men! slain 07 carried away into captivity, and women ana maidens left in the haud® °f the conquerors.

Only the President aho.ok bis head gently. But carried along by tfei feiyent of lus patriotic eloquenoe, the spsafeei' AOP tioued to evoke the redoubled wrath of a noble nation upon the gailty head oi this man, who had advanced upon theta, not to tbs hatefal colors of theeuemy/ with open fampf violence^" and/defiant front of war, to jbsoe of an independent uMgbtiOi’Ui* but bad hurried in secretly, under Miefly^o-, critical guise of a peaceful civilian, and 1 bad tip Jeo by night into the honse of a patriot cstaor® 1“ or * eT to B P7 the weak points oi bta enemies defcaißcs, and to point out to his fif soldiers the least dangerous way. j The lawyer was silent for a moment to! take breath, and to give his thundering words time Lo sad so angry echo in the breasts of his bearers. Uteil A8 he saw the glance* of most of thorn sfetady , upon the accused withs gruel hiirea, suddenly forsaking his potato strain, he summed np briefly the convincing proofs against Walden and deslared the impos sibility of the latter to offer any explana tion of his nocturnal swimming journeys. Ha felt, .tixersiosp, that it was not nseee eary before iliese jaages and this enlightened people to pore fully into the proofs of tois bftiirge.’lhe statute which a lon* ssfi hp considered ;n this case reads ; “Everv officer or soldier of a hostile hedy of troops, who tin order to iffvsari -sS3ajf*s war) divests muter the badges of Ins rank and crosses qmr hn® B * n i“® dress pi ojir province, shall ,be prou jjit before p court martial as a spy, Suid shall be to death by ahoot i ing. “It is for yon, gentleme*. to uyenge the insulted honcr of our fathertanff,i and to give to the law vindication and and also to traitors a warning After thee* concluding woftfis, which 1 had been siioken etoi ytudied simplicity and abruptness, the lawyer took his seat For a moment an reigned in the hall; and without as it seemed bring able to realize the get danger in pe stood, ■ Wajoen .- looked with anno**# admiration ;at the man who had juat Vaught half of the world’s history Into Dlav to JMOtto OB hii®- Crimea ffod tar&it£ ofwhioh to® fW£deß)knew notoing. The only thing wfcto so cased cool eased to huustaf with modi fication and regret was that he h*ff i®m his post at a time when bis oountry most needed him. However for that, he would answer not here, but there, and before his own court martttL Mere they .would uot even believe that be hed fiotbiug ot the reeeut declare tion of war. A oold shudder had seized him as he suddenly realized for the drat time during tbe trial; the prob able and finding of the commission be fore which be was ignored. Gradually hie face grew paler, end for a moment his large grey eyee rested musingly upon Count Hippolyt. The glances of the two men men met The Count a seemed to eay that what ever crime Henry had committed against him, he was not responsible for this verdict, and that he could not intercede for him without endangering his own safety. The young, simple looking officer who had been employed for the defendant was evidently very much concerned about his present task, and wiped the perspiration from his brow as he scratched nervously on small peices of paper. In the oountenanoes of most of the judges there wae the (to them) perfectly oomfortable consciousness that they had power over life and death. Only the gray haired President seemed not to be governed by the general senti ment, and bowed hit head as if to his mind the riddle was not vet explained. Then the rifleman who had been placed at the aide door, suddenly felt himself and hit aabre pushed quiekly aside by the hasty opening of the door, and before he could prevent her, a slen der maiden passed by him, and in an other moment stood close to the accused. It was Caroline. Her nch, blue black hair floated uaoonflned over the thin morning robe which enveloped her yonthfnl form; her large eyes were opened wide in tbe anguish of hei soul, while in her cheeks tbe modest blushes came and went, and almost a smile hovered about her lips as if she could not comprehend snob inexpressible folly mid cruelty, and as if she were certain that only a word from her was needed to f~?ten away all these fantastic spectres who talked of crime and death. “Speak Henry.” said she, seizing his hand impetuously; ‘|you know that these gentlemen me mistaken, ***** they believe you have tone as an enemy while yon only oome out of love and fidelity to carry me to my mother Speak, !tben, and tell them all/ I promise yon that if they set yon free I will go with you in open daylight, and neither papa nor any one else shall pre vent me. Then speak, Henry! You see that these gentlemen want to know why you are here. Therefore, speak, and torture me no longer!” and half weeping frofift violent emotion, she olasped her lovers arm, Walden looked down upon her with a transfigured smile, and sighing deeply, was about to speak. Then he heard olose by him the Count's hissing voice: “Drag my daughter's honor publicly in the dirt, if you have the heart to do so I” Among the officers whose sympathies had been almost exclusively aroused by the appearance of the beaqtifpt girl who in her anxiety for her love was disclos ing her Qsf Stored befrj> secrets, the sngVlawyer ws tfce tp regain his composure. Efis evident impatience showed that be *w bis whole oratorioal structure, probably bis expected proba tion, destroyed by this new turn of af falrs. “The President surely agrees with me that the examination of witnesses is over, and that this sort of interruption in the proceedings of a court martial is not customary. The consideration also that' a is Pot piprply a romantic interest in the accusef#,ob the oon daot of this yonug lady, ipfiepd PtR f be whloh are to be inferred from the"words of the maiden would not ex clude the idea of the criminal action on the wartpf the aoonsed, which I have the trial.” , . , The President had contemplated the scene with unusual sympathy, and now arose to reply. , ffo insisted that it was the business ofjLa uoui’i martial, even after the ex amin&tiffp of %e admit newly discovered testify pH of the detanks as toon tfio acenspd or bis counsel made & motion for it. Bo therefore submitted the question to the prisoner whether or not he would take advantage of this privilege, and desired the fefcHmnny on oath of the Countess Walden stoodereet betgee# one and her father.

A hat and smock frock had been secured for him by a peasant, but the Austrian uniform pants would not be dangerous for him, he thought; these pants were the very thing that caused him all the trouble. A lieutenant, a corporal and a private were soon assembled for a court martial, and nine men had their guns quickly loaded. Vainly onr lover beg ged and protested, and actually endeav ored to rnn away from ns, but all that availed him nothing—he was led with bandaged eyes in front of the platfoim, the lieutenant waved his sabre —and away went onr lover.” Caroline bad not heard the conclu sion of this happily chosen narrative; she was already on the steps, hurrying through the corridor to the open air. She stood listening attentively for a mo ment, by a room, before the door of which a rifleman walked up and down, with his piece in his haud. He was the one past whom she had forced her way into the council chamber; and when this powerful man, with the big sailor hat, saw his pretty antagonist opposite him, he drew himself up with boorish insolence, in order to show, by his man ner, that if she again wished to reach the accused, he hoped to be ready for her. Bat almost timidly, Caroline slipped by, and whde tbe rifleman congratulat ed himself complacently upon the ef fect of his martial behavior, Caroline, as if she were afraid of being arrested also, hurried down the familiar paths of the park toward the lake. Whoever had met her with her agitated countenance; her dim, troubled eyes, surrounded by broad red circles, with her forehead and cheeks bluishly pale and disfigured; her lips moving, as if in agony; her long, hir floating over her thin morn ing drees—whoever had seen her thus, conld not have doubted that despair bad, for the time, gained the victory over her beauty, as well as over her rea son. Arrived at the harbor, she stepped without hesitation but with not a per fectly steady tread upon the slender plank of the arch which led under the street. At the end of tbe narrow bridge she looked down into the water, where brick walls and bjoss covered beams ap peared in indistinct, distorted shapes. Fox a long time Caroline gazed beueath her, then she burst into loud, wild weeping, and suddenly sprang into the boat nearest her, as if to reach by this means the deeper water. Her dress caught on a nail and was tom, she re marked it not. The boat was driven by the violent leap a little away from the bridge, and touched the point of tho rusted grating, which yielded to its pressure and opened. The light chain wrapped around one of the beams which held tfie boat, ratthd noisily ip the wa ter, frightening the fishesi that shot tfjropgh thp depth like dark flashes. Involuntarily Caroline looked around her upon the brilliant day and over the bine motionless waves. As if framed in a mammoth rainbow, tho Basso del Fer ro soared aloft to the dark blue sky, the white houses of Laveno clustered at its base, in the red palace ou the left, she had once seen Henry, and iu the round gray tower ou the right his com rades were now perhaps vaiuly looking for him. His comrades—the bright day which from wiifiout fell up op b®r fape, seemed at-this moment to beam from lier eyes; she saw in the boat two oars lying ready for the voyage; she had once known how to use them, till'her father forbade af) boyish sports on the steep coast. fJonfusecfly and impetuously the thogght entered her head—that was the samp boat ip which Henry would have carried b®r to bar mother, Henry oould not be murdered before the answer of the commander-in-chief arrived. By that time his comrades could come and rescue him. With eager and as is often the case, impeding haste, she grasped the oars; they wera fisayy, but she placed on them ftp tyhole jjtrppgtp pj her d®!*?# 6 frame j the boat moved forward BPd in another moment floated out iuto the laka. Out there, the day looked not so bright and friendly; the low dark bed of clonds which pushed up from the South @nd corresponding to which a deep black Athßeok rsu-aP/PM t,he lake was indeed the only thfst Caroline did not meet any of the guard bokta WhieSi'Since the news of the declaration of war cruised incessantly along the shore.

The streak extending acyosa the lake roared white foaming out of the dark depths.

My great grandfather (au Englishman) was a Judge, and was sent out here in that capacity. He became a convert to Catholicism, and of course had to give up his job, as the saying is, England didn’t allow Catholics to hold office in those days. He bought a tract of land whioh is flow covered bj_ a ~rpat part of Washington' City. Well, he died, as in all likelihood I shall in the next thirty years, aud the farm, which had the finest mansion in that part of the country on it, went to my grandad, Notley Young. He was born on it. When General Washington oame to lay out the city of Washington my grandad General stopped with the old gentleman during that time, and provided that Notley Young’s mansion should not be torn down till after his death; and there it stood right in the middle of a street until he died. My father,, Nicholas Young, married one of the Fenwicks, who were of the Lord Baltimore colo ny that came over and fonuded Maryland, through fier fig ififiepted the farifil )n F4infib ‘Qeorge' Gqanty, where 1 was born. Jt was right aoross from Mount Vernon, where Washington lived. Many a time my father took us ont of a morning in toe garden to look through a spy-glass at the General pac ing np and down on the veranda in front of his honse. He had a habit of walking to’s way every morning, with his hands 'behind his fiaofi. tine day, when I was years old, there was to be a militia ptefljttft hot far fVom our house, and OtouenQUFasfiington was to be there to ’review The milifia.

I thought he wastoa greatest map that ever lived; didn'Tjutew wfiy orwhetefbre/ofily that he whipped the British. I suppose there are very few nowadays can say what I say." “You must have seen all the public men since Washington’s Presidency. “Yes, I’ve seen eyery j’residgnt we ever had.

I tell ; you, my boy, there wasn’t any fun in being a priest in those days, but I liked it.” “Did you spend all your time in Ohio?" “Oh, no ; I founded the first church in Washington, my boy, and built it right where my graudfather’s barn used to stand. It is the finest specimen of Qotbic work in this country—the Church of Bt.

It solaces me. I could not do without smokiug.” Father Young came to New York in 1826, when there were but two Catholic churches in the city, to ask for help for the frontiersmen of the Catholic faith. He goes about from one institution to another of his order, and is always a welcome visitor. A MWVKK’S HiMIUUTV. The Cincinnati Commercial, in an article abont Maj. Blackburn, the lawyer who recently absquatulated from that city, says : “ The history of Black burn’s rasoality in the case of Dr. 3. S. Mclllbaney is quite remarkable. It was away baok in December < f 1875 that Blackburn undertook to get a divorce, here, for the Doctor, without unneeps fary publicity, and, of course, it was j use about that,time that he commenced bleeding tho Doctor. He reported to the Doctor, after many tedious delays and much preliminary lying, that the divoroe had been seonred, and that he was at liberty to marry tho woman of his second choice. The Doctor did marry her. Then came the discovery of Blackburn’s boss lie—the fact that there was no decree of divorce in the case, and that no suit had been commenced. There was terrible scenes over this. Mclllhaney was driven almost to mad ness. He made up his mind to kill Blackburn, and followed him with a re volver for that purpose ; but Black burn’s appeals for mercy were so pitiful that he had not the heart to do it, and he consented to a compromise—to ac cept Blackbu u’s services in actually getting a divorce. He was a bigamist and his second wife was no wife. It was terrible to think of such scandal coming out to the public. Black burn swore that he’d get the di vorce for him without any publicity, and that scandal of the thing should not come out. The Doctor took his wife and went to New Orleans fully expect ing that in his absence the divorce would be prooured without the wife in Dayton learning the facts in the ease. In the meanwhile there had been transactions in property, in tbecourspof which Black burn, as attorney, had obtained control of all the means Mclllhaney had. With only a few dollars in his possession, Mclllhaney nud his new wife went dowu to New Orleans, having the understand ing with Blackburn ILat he was to send them money for their expenses and get the divorce for them. He did neither, but he supplied them plentifully with his ohoicest lies by telegraph. His per sistent lying to them about the proceed ings in Court, and abont the matter of the money, was something wonderful. Blackburn undertook this case for Mc lllhaney in December, 1875. An idea of the amount of lying he must have done in this case is shown by the fact that he never even entered suit, by tiling a petition, until last March. There never was any testimony taken in tho Common Pleas Court in the case. But Blackburn had for months made Mr. Mclllhaney believe that he yjas a di vorced man, married him ojft'antl thsn, on the discovery of the truth, and even convinced him that the best thing be could do was to hide himself in New Orleans while he at last really procured the required divorce, which at last he failed to do. The matter came up before Judge Avery, and was referred to once before Judge Long worib, but no testimony was ever pro duced in the way of a trial.” A feyy ago g Russian peaaaut apd pis wife auH four children, while traveling in a uleigh along the banks of the Prnth, were pursued by a pack of wolves. The peasant urged on the horses, but soon saw that the wolves were fast gaiuing on him.
