He sui 1 nothing, but the deep sigh thut seemed to come from the very depths of a tried and overladen heart, silently reproach ed her. She caught a lust glimpse of his face as he closed the door. It wore alo kof repressed sorrow that would hauut her to her dying day. What evil spirit had ttuqit ed her to try him so? Was it his fault that, by the failure of a bank in the "panic,’’ the savings of yeais of steady toil and labor had been swept away in a moment? For her uugrealful stue ha 1 he not even stooped to mental toil, when no oiLer employment could be pro cured? And now she hod sent him from her unchcered by a look or word of fondness. What if some accident should happen to the train on which he was to travel? Wnat if he should never return For a moment she sal dumb, al most jiaralyzed by the shock of that idea Then she sprang from her choir ami rushed to the door. She would cull him back aud ask him to forgive that careless, cruel parting. She was too late. He was already in the street. A mo ment later she heard the shrill whistle of the train. He was gone. The day passed on sadly enough Thought after thought came crowding into her mind to unset tie and reprove her. They bore their fruit. In l c ss than an hour after Charles Archer’s departure his home wore a very different a-pec l . By nightfall the room was as trim and clean as willing hands could make it. Before the clean windows a pair of snowy muslin curtains wei.e drawn. The stove shone like a inirrowj and from its open front, a bright wel come to the ab ent master flasln d out, flooding the very halls with warmth and light. Summer evening though it was, both light and warmdi were nettl ed. When sunset came, angry clouds rose in the south, and the rain came sharji ly down, with an accompanying wind that knew lit tle of its own miud, and voere 1 sharply around continually from south to east. Ami 1 the wailing wind and dropping ruin Helen worked steadily. The train which was to bring her husband home was due at nice. Her lust task was fluiahtd, when she dished out his favorite viands and set them, covered with a basin, upon the hearth to keeji warm. She leaned from the win dow, looking out,* through wind an J rain, for some sign of his com ing.. SLt wore the dress he liked best. Her hair was arranged in his favorite Jstyle of braids and curls. She had kissed him cold* ly as he left ke», but now, witli her heart upon her lips, she wait-r ed to welcom him back, even if he returned as unsuccessful as he went. Whst did that matter, she ihcught, as she glanced at the window of her opposite neighbor who bad been left a widow only ore short month ago, “Only let him return to me safe ly, and I will make amends sot all,” she half thought, half pray , a* memory recalled the counties! i times in which she bad grieved him during the past half year Nine o’clock came and passed, ! yet she did not h ar the usua, whistle of the incoming train.— 1 Half-past nins, and yet no footstep cm the st irs !

SLe left lor room and went down stairs, with a half formed pin-' ose in her mind of inquiring at. the neighboring station abr.u' the laggard train. Dimly in lire darkness, she saw a crowd of people gathered at I lie outer door of the tenement hou-te. They were all talking confusedly, but now and then some words broke plainly through the melody of souud. “H,s poor wife!" s»i,l one, “how is she going to beat it, 1 wonder. It is well for tier that she has no little ones to look after. She is nothing mote than a child, her self, anyway.” “Make way t here !” said some one outside. "We must carry the body upstairs. Yhioli room is il l And some woman ought to go up before us and tell the wife." The crowd surged and parti d. Between the ranks t-ix men came steadily onward, followed by a po liceman. Helen knew him well, and when he io ik< d op the stair case and saw the flight figure bending forward, and the pale face full of fixed and set-led horror, he ' turned again to the crowd, and called out : “One of you women come up hero to break the news, And take her away,” he added in a lower voice, “its no sight for her.” Good nalured Bridget McCar tliy came forward, and ran up 'he ! stairs to where Helen stood. “You’ll come back into the room 1 wid mo, darlint," she sai 1 putting ‘ her strong arras around Helen’s slender waist. “Sure it’ll destroy I you entirely to look at the like of that.” “Bridget is he dead?’ asked tI:F ]>ule iijis piteously. “Sorry I am to say that lie is. - It was the train, my dear. Off the track, they say, and ten strong men killed outright, besides him that they are bringing up from be low." Helm fell senseless at the /rislt woman’s feet. H..lf an hour later she strug gled slowly back lo life and loneli ness again. She opened her eyes to find herself lying on her own bed. with the kind old doctor of the neighborhood bending over her with an anxious face. “We shall do nicely now,’’ be! said making a warning gesture to ! some one in ilm background. Helen gave a great sigh as he ! took her hand. ‘•Oh, why did you bring me back, doctor* I have driven my husband away to his dea h, and I hoped 1 could die, too, I blamed him because we were so poor, doc tor, and I scarcely kissed him when he went away this morning to look for another place.

L want nothing but you, Charles, and now God lias given you back to me, lint will lie enough to make me happy,” said his wife, giving him the tender kiss .which sh# had refused him that morn ing. Nevertheless the cottage was ta ken. and Ihe summer was as haj>‘ a time as mortal may ever nope to enjoy this side of paradise. Occe on their journey thither, after a sloping excursion tojtbe city, they chanced to be over taken by the manificent varriage of Paul Huy deu, Millionaire. Mrs. Hayden reeplendant in a toilet frdm wordi sat therein. She was yet brown eyed end pink cheeked very hand some. Yet her face looked worn and wearied. It lacked the look of true and perfect happiness that Helen’s wore. Helen caught the somewhat anx ions look that her husband turn - ed ujiou her, as the great lady dro\# slowly by. Site smiled. Under cover of her preliy silken shawl her hands stole into his. Never for one moment hart she forgotten (lie lessen of *liat long summer day.

Willi uo Ili-op or Ncuro lllootl The Selma, A 1 a.^'imeiTteHTTlitt following singular story ; Mr Isaac Frank, a white man. was indicted by the last Grand Jury under the charge of living in unlawful wedlock with a negro woman. Mrs Mary Ann Frank, wife of the accused was present ; also h-r alleged mother, Lucinda Weaver, colored. Lucinda was sworn, and put up< u 'lie witness stand. Her testimony throw new lit;ht upon the case andj caused a little flutter of excitement ami snijnise among those present. Hhe spoke in a straightforward manner. Notwithstanding Lucin du has always been known as the morln r of Mary, it turns out that the young woman’s parentage is purely white. Lucinda testified that she was not the mother of Mrs Mary Frank and that Mrs Frank was giveu to her when an infant three days old; that a prom iuent gentleman in South Caroli na In-ought Ihe young child and presented it to Lucinda, request ing that she raise it as her owu. She stited further that the child was the illegitimate offspring of an aristociatic woman, and it was her brother who gave the infant to dio old uegress to shield liis sister s rtpufalion and conceal her shame The old uegress brought her charge to Alubamn, claiming her as a daughter, and the real truth of mallets very probably never would have heeu uncovered to the world but for Mary’s mam age to the while man ami the i* diriment issued against him. Mrs Frank, now grown into woaien ltood. has light, straight liair, a fair complexion, and dear, blue eyes, and doesn’t bear tl;e remot est trace of African blood. A mini her of gentlemen visited her i t ceutly, conversed with her, uud tie rilled that she was beyond doubt a white woman.

With escli sncceedi ig day the prospects of Dcmncrmic success in November grow brighter, and • his is attributed largely to the demorali/a' ion existing V die lie publican ranks. The dire di-as ter* that were to overtake the De mocracy on account of the Pledg ed factional fights, personal ambi tions and bitterness are being re ■ alized by the grand old party of high morality, (?) indissoluble uni ty and star route purity. To be be placed where you are compell ed to listen to the statements of Republicans, themselves, yo tt would be convinced, that while it is said "there is honor among thieves," there -s none among the leaders of the g. o. p. Not only so but it would further appear that nominate whom they may, enough will be found ready to bolt to leave the nominee in a woeful minority. It is a fact marked and comment ed upon that in all the abuse, vilifi cation and denunciation of tin leading candidates for Republican nomination, the Democratic press and politicians take no p,\rt; they merely stand by and look with ns toiiishincnt, it may be with pleas tire, while the other members (?) of the Republican jiress and jmrtj are destroying the images that they have heretofore set up within their temple. Republican abuse of Republicans is funrsLii g file Democratic party with all the am munition that will he needed for me in the next campaign. The disasters to flow from the consideration of the Morrison tar iff bill are not perceivable, on the contrary it will be developed, ere the matter is finally disposed of, that the Democratic party is sub stantially a unit ou the question of revenue reform and that the Morrison bill is bnt one step in the diiectien of bringing the j>oo plc and to a real izing sense of the great wrong that is being inflicted on Ihe ccuu try by a continuance of the war tariff. Wisely there is a sjiirit in the Democratic party to-day to take Republicans at their words rela live to llieir lenders and to sink all ambitious, all personal likes and dislikes, to secure the great aim aud end of relieving the couu try, through the only sure chan nel, that of Democratic supreme cy. It is true State pride, uatu rul leanings toward purricular jier Kontil preferences and a desire to return ju-rsonal favors received, have their weight to wanu men's judge men ,in a measure, but all are actuated and will be governed by a desire in the ap mooching cumpaign to secure a winner. Be iug in position to see and know, converse and become acquainted with the leaders of public opinion in the Democratic party, we cun say never before has there been a more egrdial disposition to fight unitedly for success under the ban uer of whoever the party iu con vention assembled shall designate as iti leader. All that is asked is a clear showing of hands and that every man shall stand on his own merits. While this is the case, it is equal ly clear that the heart of ihe party is today more strougly with | 'am uel J. Tilden lhan it ever has been atd that one single intimation that he would or could accept the nomination would clear up all doubts as to who would be nomi nated in July.

From the long lint of worthy Democrats the party must choose and whither it be Carlisle.
