I Here everything had been allowed to | remain just as .-the hud left it and no one had been permitted to enter the mber. Now it bud bo*, come necessary not only to enter, but to strip it of its contents It was some days after Mrs. Hart well had finished all the work that the removal hud devolved on her, before she could summon courage to enter the apartment. Even now it was necessa ry for her husband to go with her; nnd as the event proved it was well lie did. When the stricken mother entered the room, and glanced down upon the lit tle bed, Where with her child she had so often knelt and repeated her little prayer ami kissed “her good night,’ the reco|f*ction was t... • i ii for her weak en* d nerves, and the childless mother, but for the loviug eiubraco of her hus> hand would have fallen senseless on the floor.

Giant think it the part of wisdom tw get their candidate out of the wuy during Congress and have therefore aent liioi down to Cuba. We think their caution unneces sary. Had New York gone Dem ocratic, we think Sherman would perhaps have been nominated j a a i,t is,it seems now that Gen. Grant will bo nomivtated almost by ac clamation. Upon the whole we ►hould prefer Graut to Haves. When Grant was President we had only ona man to please, because Giant wan the Republican party. Since Hayes been President every would-be leader of the Republicans bus had his “fling” iit us, for the Reason that Hayes is un infintesi- mal part uf his party. Moreover it is necossftry to have some man at the head of the Re publican party with suficient nerve and personal popularity, to seat liims-dfin the Presidential chair tegardb ss of the voice of the coun- ti \ or of (J‘ tigress. General Grant is that man; will he do it ? We are of opinion that lie will if nec essary. He wok prepared if nec essary to buck the pretensions of Hayea to the succession, had the Democrats insisted on the inaugu- mtioooi the man who was elected. It seems reasonable to suppose that Giant will, if necessary, do as much for himself ai he did for Hayes. effort to control herself, or they would | fatal blow upu b« obliged to relinquish the return to 1 as if having di* England, the fire had not sleep to apply tin* incendiary’s torch no j eye in or around the devoted dwell- ing would have closed in sleep. lhit it is impossible for mortal vision to j read the Imok of fate .and so the Hart wells, with conscience “void of offence’ slept the peaceful sleep of innocence. But before the morning’s dawn, the peaceful sleepers were destined to ii rude awakning. About an hour before the break of day one of the servants gave the alarm of tire. Mr. Haitwell and bis wife were soon aroused by the cries of the excited servants. Hastily dressing they ran out of the bouse and found one cud of the mansion wrapped in flames. Mr. llurtwell,without savt the commonest means for extinguish ing the tire, raw at a moment's glance that it would be immossiblo to save any part of the mansion. Besides, even if there hud been a strong prob ability that the devouring element might have U-cii extinguished he would not huve beeu able at. tho moment to have rendered any possible aid, for Mrs. llurtwell who was, as we know greatly’ enfeebled,wus so greatly shock ed and f ighft ned bv tho scene that met her waking eves, that she was iu an almost fainting condition and it re quired all her liusbund’e euro and en couragement to prevent her going oft' into a swooning tit. And Mrs. Hartwell, feeble as she was from Rorrow and suffering might well have been excused her weakness; for the scene, sublimely terrible, was well calculated to shake the nerves and excite tha feelings of even the strong est man. The flames roared and toss ed,and actually appeared to bo iuH’iuct with life, and hungry for the destruc tion of the structure on which they were preying. Now lik*'some mighty serpent, they would rear aloft theti uiigry ci' St, as if ready to strike the i their victim, and then overed some «not which el fastened, lik« light-. .NATURES OWN REMEDY A vegetable" MEDICINE FOR THE" BLOOD,UVER&KIDNEYr “Then take mo out of this chamber j niug down woi.ld c. mO the f- The Currency. Mr. Bayard has introduced a resolution in the Senate (U. S. ) with reference to the legal tenders, or as they are more commonly wiled “greenbacks.” The New York World quotes Senator Hill favoring the resolution which looks to a r< peal of the act making them a legal tender. It is fuither $aid that the United States Su- porme Court will shorty ronder u decision adverse to the constitu tionality of the legal tender act. As our readera know, wo have all along favored a return to the hard money Bystem inaugurated hy that, great man,President JacL- soo. We think that under the qonstitution nothing but gold and silver can be a legal tender tor debts. We do not wish however rp be considered a« opposing a le gitimate system of exchange for th** purpose of facilitating commer cial transactions. Let it be dis tinctly understood however, that • j favoring Senator Bayord's reso- lion, we are not, and we trust J.pfnr Hill is not, in favor of , |,at is coroonly termed the “wild v«t” syBtem of banking. Congress i living passed an act allowing a \ system of free banking—that is to a *> , allowing any individual or Vimlividuals having enough United Vti.ics bonds to obtain a sufficiency if circulating notes (national miik notes), to establish a bank, \t know of ao sy>tom that- we WMild prefer to the National Bank- in* .System. j irifit therefore that while or Bayard s resolution tvill ,orted bj the Democratic i Demist will so far iipsslf as to advocate a thanking similar to that •riot to Edward,* exclaimed she, “fur it seems to me I shall die if I remain Lure. Everything around me reminds me of darliug Nina, and 1 cannot bear up under it.” “Leave it all to me my darling,’ said Hartwell; “I will see that everything that Nina loved or wore shall be care fully put away and earned with ua, ko that when we are in (Mir obi home you can have them taken care of and religiously preserver!.* Mrs. Hartwell retired ami it requir ed oil the nerve and resolution of the bereaved father to superintend the packing up the things which Nina’s, room contained. At length the pain*, ful task was ended, and Mr. Hartwell, when left alone, there in Nina’s room, bowed his stricken head in prayer to God, that he would restore to health his childless wife, give her peace of mind and give her that consolation which no earthly power could give,and that He would enable him to bear his irreparable loss with Christian resig nation, and to say “the Lord pave and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord.* Mr. Hartwell now sought his wife for the purpose of diverting lier thoughts from the painful course in which they had been turned, bo in formed her that it would bo necessary to come to some conclusion with res pect to what steps should bo taken concerning their slaves. You are perhaps aware Theodosia,’ suid Mr. Hartwell, that when they ar rive in England, iu the event they should go with us, they will then be fieeasto carrying them with us. I propose as to all except tho house-ser vants, to leave them here on the rice plantation and place them under the control of John,who you know is trus ty aud reliable. He can gather, or have gal bored the anual crops and sell them and use such portion as may be neces sary to carry t on the work. In the event the Americans are successful we should lose everything; if tho result be otherwise, then what is left of the pro ceeds of the crop, John will no doubt have uoliand and turn over to up. I re gret very much to leave servants as faithful us they have been, but it seems that circumstaaois if not Providence have so directed and we must be coils tent. “I dont think,’ said Mrs. Hartwell, you could do butter than make the ar rangements you propose; and wliih with you l regret the separation, I nevertheless feel that it in necessary. Of course you do not I suppose intend carrying any of tho servants with us unless they are willing to go.’ “Certainly not,’ replied h«;'all hough they are slaves,yet to carry them with u^ involves a separation of relatives that I will uot occasion without their consent.’ “Thu servants were called up the next day and informed of the wishes and plans of their owner, and there was not on© of those whom it was pro posed to carry to England that did not oberfully consent—aud it may. be here stated, that not f>ne of them ever left the Hartwell family aft/r their arrival in England although they wore all in formed that, they had a perfect aight so to do under the British Jaws. All arrangements for the approach ing departure had been made and Mr. Hartwell and Lis wife had S' nnd hissing forked toii 0 uo, eirryb.p ruin nnd destruction whirever it touched the burning roof. Anon the tinmen, borne upward by the wind, would nsoeml in a vast sheet, pain 1 ing themselves on the dark background rf the sky, illuminating the country far and near with their baleful light. When the fire hud seized on all th building and reached its height, the roof and portions of tho wall fe'l in with a mighty crash and a sickening shudder run through every one who stood gazing on the destructive work. A8 the flames begun to di* awnv, it became necessary f.r Mr Hartwell to consider what ©nurse this new state of affairs required that he should take. Happily it was no difficult for him to come to a decision. The most valuable things that the building contained,such as the books, pictures, the articles and furnishings of Nina’s room,the wearing apparel of himself and wife, bad, u few days before been packed up und sent away. His loss consisted of the mansion, beds,furniture etc. Ofcours* be regretted the destruction of his property, but as he hod not expected to return to America, except as a visitor, he regarded the mutter only as a pecuniary loss. Doubtless hnd ho known that au enemy, had applied the torch that caused all the destruction we have attempted to describe,he would have deferred, his departure for En** gland, and endeavored to have caused his detentionjand pehaps tho villionie- of Hales may have thus been discovs eved (for he it w«b who applied the torch) and our story brought to an abrupt termination. As it was how ever, he supposed it to be the result of accident, and hence no inquiries ire made. Soon after tho dawn of light, Mr. Hartwell having decided that the burning should not delay his depart- and 1 having taken nn affecting leave of the servants who were to remain, not a dry eye being left be hind, carried bis wife, and the ser vants who were to accompany biin, on board his boat and set sail for Sa vannah. All parties would perhaps have experienced fur more of sadness than they really did, had they known they were never to see tho uhores of America nguin. A8 it will be sometime before wr meet again with Hartwell and bis wife in tho progress of our story, it may be proper to say that the wliolfc party arrived safely in England, though it was ludicrous to witness the conduct of the negroes on board tho ship ami bear their complaints and groans while they were confined to I heir bunks by the sickness occasioned from their firdt and only trip across the Atlantic.
