of a narrow strip of woods, which;
from their shape, seemed to invite the-
north wind rather than,to protect the
shaky structure. This strip of woods
was the southern boundary of 1 a long
and-wide green, that sloped abruptly
off at' this edge to the bank of a deep
ereek. asid consequently the old cabin

And a lovely gorge it was, with
than
the aid of his hand on their coat col
lars, and stdod looking at the' outra
geous door so calmly hanj^hg, as if in
humble- depreciation of any charge
old Tickleby might harbor in his* thought;
the
jgrejit moss-ygoak trgtg *griwihg on the
yefy edge of th^stlep banks, and their
white and smoothly-washed roots
sprawling out of the side of the bauk
and over into the water like the skele- i
ton fingers of some huge giant that lay
buried on the slope.
The wind came rushing like a mad
spirit down i,the gorge. The gusts
sudden and short, but it pounded on
thevdoor of Old Tickleby’s cabin, and
jerked and -pried at the crannies be-
tveen the logs, and rushed flown the
old mud chimney, carrying with it a
roll of smoke, then out again like a
miiid. Then the wind came sighing
softly through the crevices at the top
and bottom of the . door, increasing
steiidily in volume until it was a lio 1-
low-sound between a howl and a whis
tle.. Then it died away into such a
human sigh that old Tickleby bent for
ward unconsciously, as if expecting a
cry of distress. He held his attitude
until all his expectations died out,-
and then, as if a new thought had
•struck him-,-he - ’ drew up straight and
gianced furtively around the room.
boisterous; playful-young monster.
Peter Tickleby sat on a low, split-
bottom chair before a very ghost of a
fire that hovered undecidedly over two
Tagged knots of poplar wood in the
great open fire-place. He held, or
rather he clutched, apiece of paper in
bis band, and held to it v.it-h an air of
determination, and one that plainly
accused the wind of thievish inten
tions. Whenever the sullen knots
would leap into a momentary blaze,
he wonlj peer with such an agonized
nnriijtfs look at the paper, as if he
was trying to look into its very soul.
Old Peter had got a letter from the
post-office that afternoon. The post;
master said there was«o doubt of tts
being intended for him, because it was
. .... , . a long red package, sealed with dark
to every responsible jnyjn-r, mechanic, 0 f f
* • |-eoloyed wax, and ob it was written;
.“Peter Tickleby, Esq., Bellefield,
— county, Kentucky.
Old Tickleby then took it, because
lie had no excuse for refusing it fur
ther. He thrust it nervously into his
great cavern of a pocket and walked
other, foolish things about that let
ter.
What- if that letter^-that very same
red letter^-contained an offer of a sit-
nation and a.;::profitable one .'at that;
He stopped at that, for he was guilty
of secret, pride, to his attainments and
capacity. Poor old man, he never
thought of his failing agq. What, if
he was. ealled..tp toe .charge ofgood
school, and then old Peter just thought
what kind of a school ho wodld like.
And rhow he’d. teach; and how he’d

and respect

Stephens in 'the TJnited States Senate,"
upon the' civil rights'biH, has toe true
ring of the old metal abont it. The
qnastion is one in which South Caroli
na has particnlar interest. We have
now upon the statute books of our
State a civil -rights act quite as sweep
ing in its terms, and as severe in its
penalties, as the bill which is pending
in Cungress. Forced to swallow' too
nauseous dose oursoivea, it is hardly to
be expected that we should toll into
paroxyms of grief because Massachu
setts, for instance, whose favorite son
prepared the decoction, may be at
laSt herself compelled to taste its fli-
yojv- The law has riot, so far, worked
injuriously here, except in its effect
upon the. cdiiciitioual interest. It
practically debars white children from
the benefits "of the public schools; and
’has reduced the State University from
a thriving and useful institution, as it
was to 1867, to a high school for ne
groes and a law school for knaves. Hut
though they may have but little in
terest in the matter on their own ac
count, South Carolinians will none the
less approve and applaud the constitu
tional stand which Mr. Stephens has
so boldly taken.
The statute on the subject in our
own State is a carious c9mpound.-r-

We clip the following from the j>ro-

on the 17?h:
Tb® Mexican Veterans, at toeir
meeting this morning, agreed upon a
memorial of Congress asking pensions
for those who were engaged in tliat
war or their surviving; widows and
children..' In accordance with previous
arrangements therconventiftoin a body
proceeded to the Executive Mansion
arranged themselves in a line to the
past room, when the presideui entered
and was received by ex-Gor- Herbert
of Louisiana, who, as marslial of the
convention, said.the members of the
convention were glad to recognize, to
him and old companion in arms—in
the glorious and victorious butties to
Mexico- The President bowed his
thanks in reply and. then accompanied
by Gen. Leaver, the president of toe
convention, passed from one veteran
to another shaking hands.
Among the incidents were the fol
lowing.: Col, Ruddock, of Maryland,
asked permission which was granted,
to pin. on the President’s coat the ro
sette badge of that State.
Gen. Cudwalaper, of Pennsylvania,
presented to the Presideut, in a few
humorous remarks, ian old colored man
named Ben . Johnson, who during the
Mexican war sened as Gen. Scott’s
cook.
One of Grant’s classmates at West
Point made known the fact to him nnd
a brief but pleasant conversation fol
lowed.
Among the spectators were General
Sherman, Senator Fen ton and number
off todies.
/- The Presideut and members of the
Convention seemed to be much grati
fied, with the meeting. The Conven
tion then returned to the hall to re-
eame. business.
President Gran; was a Lieutenant
and Regimental Quartermaster of the
Fourth U. S. Infantry daring the
Mexican war.
On returning to their .halt the Pres
ident called their attention to a beau
tiful vase which, bad been placed upon
a centre, table to front of the platform
and which came from South Carolina.
He asked the convention to receive it
standing.. He called npon Judge
Muckery ? of South Carolina, to give
its history. The vase stands upon a
square base of ubpnt ten by twelve
inches and three inches in height,
resting upon eagle’s claws all of solid
silver and beautifully chased in frost
w.ork representing the charge and re-
pnlse.at New Orleans. This vase was
purchased solely by the ladies' of South
Carolina—two thonsnnd subscrilnng
for that purpose—and bore the fol
lowing inscription in front:
