“Don’t bo ovoroomo yet. May bo you’ll change
your mind boforo tho ond Minn. I’vo got a bit
of advice for you and a promise to make first.
The advice is, to leave off tho piano nix months
and tuko to tho kitchen. Men can’t live on love
aud waltzes, much less a man of tho Bolden tribe.
I know ’em. If he don’t have good food, he’ll
bo sour first, aud then he’ll havo dyspepsia, and
thoro’ll bo a Hound of going in the tops of the
mulberry trooH; which things are a figure, But
that’s the advice.”
That is tho way grandma Jarvis vented some
of her views as to Mabel Leo’s approaching mar
riage.
“O, grandma,” replied Mabel, “I can make a
splendid cake, and ice-pudding too, and char
lottes, just as good as Cross.”
Fiddle-stick 1 You can’t make bread or boil
a potato, or broil a steak.”
“But anybody can do that.”
Mrs. Leo smiled, and grpudam turned a with
ering look at Mabel.
Dou’t be a fool 1 There isn’t one in a hun
dred can do either, and I doubt if you’ve got
brains to; but >ou might try.”
There rose up instantly a mighty resolve in
Mubel’s feminine soul to show grandma Jarvis
that she could do more than she gave her orodit
for; that she would learn to cook in spite ot this
discouraging prophecy. It is just possible
grandma kuew who she was talking to.
Then, as to tho promise. I’m going to send
you over a motto—one of these painted gim-
cracks everybody hangs up everywhere. I don’t
kuow why they call them illuminated I’m sure,
except by the rule of contraries, for they need
extra spectacles aud u calcium light to reud them
by; but you oau read mine; I rubbed off’ tho
curlicues; only promise to read it every morn
ing before breakfast; or I can tell you you won’t
get the tea-set.”
O yes, ol course I’ll road it, grandma—tho
idea!”
‘Well, well, if you read it you’ll think about
it, I’ll warrant. Now I must go home aud send
John over with tbo things;” aud, with a frosty
little caress on Mabel’s fair cheek, and a nod to
her mother, the old lady went.
Grandma kisses me just like a clam-shell,"
said Mabel, in half soliloquy as she sat down
again by the wiudow. Iler mother could not
help laughiug, for iho cool nip ot thin lips that
was grandma’s substitute lor a kiss,certainly did
suggest shells aud clamiuess. John came di
rectly back with the package, and Mabel eagerly
untied and unfolded it. The motto was printed
iu largo German text, easy to reud, though gay
with gold aud colors, and it ran thus:
“Take up the loxes, tho little foxes that spoil
the vines; lor our vines have tender grapes."
Mabel started.”
“Mother, what on earth does it mean?”
Mrs. Lee smiled uud*sighed both, as sho road
tho legend over tho girl’s shoulder.
“Look here, Mub,” said she, slipping a flat
gold hoop over her third finger, aud the girl read
inside, “Ueware ol little loxes,” aud looked up,
lreshly astonished into her mother’s face.
“I suppose grandma means lor mo to tell you
a little story, Mabel, which she told mo when I
was first engaged. It hurt her bitterly to tell it,
but. it did mo much good. I think she could not
bring herself to tell you. You are not her daugh
ter, and cannot love her as I do, aud you never
had reason to pity her us I have. You never
saw grandfather Jarvis, Mabel.”
“Why, I thought he died before I was born."
“No, he died ten years ugo in Brazil. I never
saw him in}self Mub; he never knew he had a
daughter."
“Mother I”
Mrs. Lee’s lovely dark eyes filled with tears as
sho drew Mabel down beside her on the sofa.
“I have been told that grandma was a very
beautiful, high-spiritecl girl ut your age, dear,
animated, brilliant, thoroughly satisfied with
herself and her surroundings, especially when
Jonathan Jarvis full iu love with her. Her fa
ther died when she was three years old, and her
invalid mother adored the child, aud spoiled her
even more than I do you.”
Mabel kissed the soft hand on her shoulder,
and gave a wilfull little bite.
“Don’t be horrid, mamma, or I shall eat you
light up. As il I was one bit spoiled 1”
“If you were not, my child, you would not
need grandma’s lesson. She was spoiled, as I
said, aud Jonathan Jarvis knew it, but ho was
bewitched by her spirit aud beauty, and thought,
as men are apt to think, that they could control
and cure all that. She loved him, too, very
deeply, alter her fushion, aud there was nothing
to delay their murriago; but the duy was scarce
ly fixed when her mother suddenly sank aud
died. Grandmother did not mourn so hope
lessly that it was thought best to put off her
marriage, though out of respect to her mother’s
memory, there was no wedding party, and the
happy pair’ began their life at once iu the home
stead where grandma lives to-day.
‘The outlook before these two was very fair
youth, health, competency, what seemed to be
devoted love, made them an apparently enviable
couple, but no sooner were these unbroken wills
brought into daily coutact than trouble began.
‘You may laugh, Mabel,but their first dispute
was about a coffee pot. Mother preferred the
old-fashioned urn, her husband the newer style
of pitcher. Neither would yield in a mere mat
ter of taste, and this was the beginning of evil.
“Silly? Yes, it looks wonderlully silly to us;
but I Ihluk I heard a very warm disoussiou only
eRterday on the proper stylo of riding hats for
lady.”
Mabel colored to the waves of her dark hair
uua tr ed to smile.
‘They came to a compromise on this matter,
agreeiug to drink chocolate in place of coffee;
but other small disputes followed; they all
burnt in on grandma’s mind, but I forget most
of them, so slight and trivial were tho matters
of discussion though they grew to active means
of torment.
“A child was born; aud Jonathan, in his sad
and sore heart, thought that would bring peace,
and his grieved and indignant wife hoped it
also, for each blamed the other, as combatauts
will, but tho baby’s eyes never saw the strife,
it died and the hope died with it. Little frets
what wear away love aud lito, Mabel. My
poor lather !—and my poor mother 1 There was
no kindly friend to say a judicious word to
either. They showed a smiling front to the
world outside, but grew more alienated daily.
“There was uo real quarrel, no vital disagree
ment, but the hourly fret of uudiscipliued tem
pers, impatient natures, strong wills and a sell*
consideration that forbade yielding, that cher
ished pride and petulance, that recoguized uo
duty except that owed to itself.
“The end of these things hastened. Before
the nameless baby had slept iu its green grav
year, father had set out for Brazil in a merchant
vessel, leaving this short adieu to his wife:
“You can say I have gono South on business, Meheta-
bol, but you must kuow I Bhull uever come buck,
tired of living in torment, aud you will bo glad to part
wtib ouo who could novor please you. So farewell,
Yours at command, Jonathan Jabv
“Mother was lrantioally angry at first. Sho
r ived iu her own chamber over what she termed
a mortal insult, but as day alter day came on,
sho began to boo things moro honestly; and
when newH cauio that tho ship had foundered ot
sea, and all hands perished, then sho was on-*
tirely prostrated. As she told mo her past life
ruse up, looked her in tho luce and struck her
down.
“I was born alter ray father’s departure,and a
vory long illness curried her to tho gates of tho
grave. Hho recovered at last, a storn and sad
dened woman; with only ouo interest in hor life;
but she brought me up with a strictness and
caro, tenderly as she loved me; and whou I was
about to tuko my life lip lor myself told mo this
bitter story, and gave mo this riug.”
‘If I had killed tho little loxes,’ said she,
sadly, ‘I might to-day havo a goodly vineyard oi
my own. Bt ware of them, Deity. They have
spoiled my life.’
And after all, my father was not lost on the
wreck. lie was picked up by another vessel,
aud under on assumed name, lived on in Brazil.
In iho grasp of mortal illness, ho wrote to his
wifo, asking and giving parden. It was from
there that all her wealth eume,but sho has never
forgiven herself.”
“Poor grandma 1” sobbed Mabel, “and I havo
been so horribly hatelul to her 1”
“It will console her for all your freaks my dar
ling, if you profit by hor pitiful story.”
The next time Grandma Jarvis came over,
Mabel greeted her with a stringent hug and a
heartfelt kiss, not at all of the clamshell order.
“ Gracious 1" exclaimed the old lady with
drawing herself a little to look at Mabel; but
she saw tho brown eyes fill, and hor own grow
dim.
“Go along, child, go along 1” she growled un
der her l.reath. “And now you’ve got your les
son, don’t forget it.”
It would have been haul lor Mabel to do so,
when the exquisitely wrought tea set that adorn,
ed her table through all her married life bore ou
every cover the sly and eager head of a tiuy lox,
and the very cream pitcher had for its handle the
slender form ol that treacherous animal, its ea
ger head peering over the brim, and its long,
bushy tail curving outward at tho base. Many
a time, when some trifling matter irritated her,
aud a quick or stinging word roso to her lips, a
gluuco at the tea-set shut her pretty mouth close
ly just in time; and when Grandma Jarvis came
into Boston a year after Ma el f s manage, to eat
her Christmas dinner at Mr. Selden’s, she uod-
d< d quaintly at tho house as sho said: “I con
gratulate you now, Mabel, I can do it with
a dear conscience. It’s been a good hunting
year, I see.”
Mabel colored aud laughed, aud her husband
stared, but nobody explained the sibyllic utter
ance, only Mrs. Leo gave .her mother a loving
and grateful look, and Grandma Jarvis wiped her
spectacles.
And tho moral is—let us all go fox-hunting.

On Saturday evening last Hon. Hamuol J. Til-
don, President elect of the United States, was
tendered a popular ovation aud serenade at his
residence in Gramercy Park, Now York. The
objoot iu view was to publicly welcome the
Democratic leader back tv) his home from Eu
ro; o, as well as to take advantage of the occasion
to give utterance to tho sentiments of admira
tion so universally ielt by liis own iellow citizens
for tho distinguished gentleman. We read that
tho streets adjacent to his residence were throng
ed with people, that the adjoining houses were
tilled with visitors, who manifested great inter
est in the proceedings, whilo tho “capacious
parlors of Mr. Tilden wore filled to overflowing
with guests during tho evening.”
The address of welcome having been delivered
by Col. William A. Van Wyck, Mr. Tilden re
sponded at leugtb. For the first time since his
election to tho chief magistracy of the United
States, he discussed fully and freely both State
aud national politics. Ho specially commended
tho reform policy which he himself had inaugu
rated in New York, and,,urged a continuance of
the same, earnestly indorsing the present nomi
nees of the Democratic party, and predicting
their triumphant ulectiou.ou Tuesday. •
His expressed sentiments ou national affairs,
however, are matters of moro special interest to
the general public. Iu speaking ou this subject
ho reviewed tho entire Presidential contest of
last fall, and denounced iu scuthing terms
greatest political crime iu our history by which
the result of tho Presidential election oi 187G
was set aside and reversed.” In this crime he
declared that it was not he who li&d been robbed,
but it was tho people. They had beeu robbed
of (he dearest rights of au American citizen.
He showed how the founders of the government
had beeu jealously careiul to provide for and
protect local aud State rights with tho view of
avoiding any possibility of a strong centralized
government. Ho showed how, under the Radi
cal rule of tho past sixteen years, every tendency
of tho administration had beeu towards destroy
ing tho rights of tho States, aud increasing tb
power of tho Federal Government. This had
been brought about by the creation ot a vast
office-holding class with its numerous depart
ments, by the free use of the army in controlling
the domestic affairs of the different States, and
the growth of the means of corrupt influences
which “have well nigh destroyed tho balance of
our complex system.” To ull these daugerous
influences ho truthfully ascribed the formation
of the bold and daring conspiracy concocted by
tho Radical leaders just after tho Presidential
election last November, and which was so suc-
cesslully carried out.
Mr. Tilden also showed fc how the Radicals to
day were struggling with all their might to con
tinue their centralizing influences; how they
were, demandiug.that the Federal Government
shall bo clothed with power over the vust corpo-

rations of tho country, and be given the means
where.she was fast accumulating a fortune,when j a j- txel - c i tj i U jf supervisory control of them; how
her business was interrupted by tho police. She
sent to all parts of the country circulars adver
tising a substance really composed of white su
gar alone, but of which she'.suid: “It possesses
suuh powerful aud magnetic influences that,
when ban led by either sex and given to the
other, they immediately become attracted and
in a short time love the giver, uo matter who
they have loved before. Any lady or gentleman
cun guiu tho love and wed the one they love, by
using this powder. It^is eusily given in wine
or liquors, of any kind, or tea, coffee, or any
drink that can bo sweetened, us it tastes and
looks like sugar, aud cau bo given without lear
of detection, or can be given by another persou
alter directions. The love you gain will bo true,
pure and permanent.” In Mis. Somers’ rooms a
vast number!of letters were found, chiefly ‘from
girls in seminaries, showing that sho had sold
great quantities of white sugar at the rate of
a dollar per half ounce. Some of the purchasers
had written to say that they had administered
tho powders, but without effect.
PE?;NSYLVANIX’S TROUBLES.
The troops have been withdrawn from Peuu-
syhania, but it is not altogether certain that the
riotous element of the population of that State
are yet to be relied ou lor being quiet aud law-
abiding. Early on the morning of the 28th ult.
three serious fires broke out in Pittsburg iu less
than hall an hour, doing much damage and de
stroying property to the extent of several thou
sands of dollars. Investigation showed that
these fires were all incendiary, aud it is believed
that they were tbo result of an organized effort
to burn tho entire city. It is very evident that
Hartranft will huve a difficult task to keep down,
by mtaus ol his militia (with which he boasted
he could hold the luwless “banditti” ot the
South in check), the murderous and seditious
Communists oi his own State, and, if these
thiugs continue, il is quite^ probable that this
peaceful section will be again drained of United
States oldiers to prevent outrages among the
loyal constituents of His Radical Excellency.
" About sixty artisans, clerks aud small mei
chants of New York city, met Saturday night to
receive the report of the committee on the pur
chase of land for tho St. John’s Co-operative Col
ony ol Florida. It was reported that a tract of
ten thousand acres ol laud ou the St. John’s riv
er, twenty miles from Pulatka, had beeu offered
to the colony for $1 au acre. The committee
Bent an offer by telegraph of $8,000 for the tract,
and are awaiting a reply.
it is demanded further that tho government be
given jurisdiction of riots, which it is clearly the
duty ol the States aloue to suppress; how pre
texts for increasing the army are sought for, and
how it is desired that those iu possession of tho
government should have a power with which uo
opposition can successfully compete. And, said
he, “if this tendency (to centralization) is not
arrested, its inevitable result will be tho practi
cal destruotiou ol our system of government,”
lor “tho experience of France under the Third
Napoleon shows that, with elective forms and
universal suffrage,‘despotism can be established
aud maintained.”

whole situation, lie slated incoutestible and
most interesting iacts, aud uttered notes ol warn

from the Stuto canvassers of two States illegal uud fraud
ulent certificates, which were made a pretext for a false
count of the electoral votes. To euablo theso office, s to
oxercisc the immoral courage ueccssury to the parts as
signed to them, and to relievo them from tho timidity
which God has implanted in tho human bosom as a limit
to criminal audacity, detachments of the army were sent
to afford them shelter.
“Tho expedients by which tho votes of tho electors
choson by the people of these two States were rejected,
uud tho votes of tho electors having the illegal and fraud
ulent certificates were counted, aud the menace of usur-
p ation by the Presidin', of the Senate of dictatorial power
over all the questions in controversy, and tho meuaco of
the iuforcemont of his pretended authority by the army
uud navy, the terrorism of tho business clusses and tho
kindred measures by which tho false count was consum
mated ore known. [“Yes, yes.”]
“The result is the establishment of a precedent de
structive of our whole electivo system. Tho temptation
to those in possession of the government to perpetuate
their own power by simi'ar methods will always exist,
und if the exumplo shall bo sanctioned by success, the
succession of government in this country will come to be
determined by fraud or force, as it has beeu iu almost
ery other country; uud tho experience will bo repro

The official vote ot Iowa lias been returned,

about 245,000, against 292,427 at the Presiden
tial election last year. Gear, Republican can

orat 78,760; Stubbs, Greenback, 33,503; Jessup,

Gear’s plurality over Irish will be 42,400 when

“I am willing to risk my reputation as a pub
lic man,” wrote Edward Bine to the Liverpool
Mercury, “if the worse case of small-pox can
not be cured in throe days, simply by the use of
cream of tartar. One ouuoe of cream of tartar
dissolved iu a pint of water, drank at intervals
when cold, is a certaiu, never failing remedy.
It has cured thousands, uever leaves a mark,
never causes blindness, and avoids tedious ling
ering.”
A movement of very considerable force is re
ported on loot to force the President to put
Schurz out of the Cabinet. ThiH step is one of
the remedies proposed by some of those who
mot at Secretary Sherman’s house to consult
over pending troubles, and the means of ending
them. Outside of these gentlemen, tho move
ment is said to be gathering much strength.
State Senator Maxwell, of South Carolina,
has been committed to jail on an indictment
charging him with embezzling money collected
from colored people for the purpose of buying
supplies for a number of thorn who designed to
emigrate.
The above is a pretty full synopsis of tho re
marks of Mr. Tilden ou this occasion. It con
tains a plain utterance of plain aud most impor
tant truths. Such truths as should be conutaut-
ly kept before the eyes and fresh in the minds
aud memories ol tho whole people, that knowing
the dangers to which they are exposed they may
be enabled so to act as to guard against them.
Celia Flaherty is a Rochester girl of so hu
morous a disposition that her inclination to play
okeB amounts nearly to a mania. She ordered
coal to bo sent to persons who did not want it;
despatched anonymous letters to exoite the jeal
ousies of husbands aud wives; had coffins deliv
ered at sick folks’ houses, and had physioians to
make night searches for imaginary patients. At
length the police determined to catch her at her
pranks. A detective opened a correspondence
aud begged her to give him her picture. She
sent a photograph of the back ot her head, sup
posing that it could not be recognized; but he
studied the hair closely, and then walked the
streets industriously until he saw a match for it
in style. Miss Flaherty then had au experience
in a jail and a police court that may bo of benefit
to her.
Senator Gordon lias wiitteu an article for the
and her louelinesa and weakness grew over her North American Beview on civil servico reform.
England is again involved in war with one of
the savage tribes that render her African pos
sessions uo troublesome at times. The hostili
ties now reported from Cape Town are no w be
tween the merciless Galakas and the British aud
their native allios. Two battles have occurred.
•In the first, ou the 24th of September, eight
thousand Galakas attacked the British, but were
repulsed with a loss of two hundred, the British
losing only one mau killed and six wounded.
Their loss on the 29th, when the second battle
took place, is not reported,but as reiulorcemeuts
have been seut forward from Simon’s Bay, it is
likely that tho situation is serious.
Assistants will be procured when the necessities of the
Collugo demaud their services.
This institution graduated its first class in 1846, and
since that time hus seut forth hundreds from its classic
