Mary’s Love Letter.
“So you won't marry Hawkins Jes
sup?” said Squire Bergamont, knitting
his black eyebrows together until they
formed an ominous black bar across his
forehead, and nearly frightened his
bright-eyed daughter out of her senses.
But Mary Bergamont stood bravely to
the guns of her little citadel.
“No, father,"said she. “O, how can
you ask me, father, when you know I
don't love him, and never can?"
“Never is along while,” said the squire.
“Yes, papa, I know that," said Mary.
“But, indeed, I mean it."
“You mean it, do you?" said the
squire, in low and measured tones. “Now
let me tell you what I It isn’t that you
don't like Hawkins Jessnp, but that you
have been goose enough to go and fall in
love with that young idiot, George
Lake!”
Mary turned rery red.
“Papal”
“There's no use mincing matters,”
said the irate squire. “An artist, indeed!
Why don’t he go into white-washing and
painting, and get a decant living?”
“But, papa—"
“Needn’t attempt to argue with me,
miss!” said Squire Rergamont, sternly.
“I’ll have none of it, and so I tell you if
George Lake comes into my house, he’ll
b<: put out very quick! And so you may
tell him ”
So saying, the squire strode out of the
room. Mary looked after him with soft,
sorrowful eyes. She was a delicate, oval
faced girl, with sunny brown hair and
straight features, as unlike the rotund
and positive squire's as light to darkness.
But as she put down the iron with which
she was “doing up” her father's shirts —
Squire Bergamant would have thought it
a crying sio to employ a laundress while
his daughter enjoyed her ordinary health
—she leaned up against the window where
the arrowy sunbeams came in through the
tremulous veil of heart-shaped morning
glory leaves and drew from her pocket a
note written in a strong masculine hand:
Dearest Mary —l love you. Will
you promise to be my own wife, spite of!
all opposition? Will you tell me so witn
your own lips?
“Ever yours, faithful to death,
“Geokue.” |
liov her eyes glittered as she read and j
mssmsbi
re-read the short and simple lines, press
ing them finally to her lips.
“I do lore him! I will he his wife!”
she murmured. “Aud I will tel! him so
the very first opportunity I get. Only
papal’*
A momentary cloud stole over her j
serene brow at this, but it was transient. |
“I don’t believe in elopements," said
Mary Bergamont, still rivetiug her eyes
on the sheet of paper in her hands. “I
never did. But if papa still persists iu
opposing our marriage, I will leave my
home aud go out into the world hand-in
hand with George.”
Just as the revolutionary thought passed
through her mind the deer creaked on its
hinges. A heavy, well-known footstep
sounded on the threshhold.
“It’s papa!” cried Mary.
In her consternation our poor little
heroine could not Had tho entrance to her
pocket in the multitudinous folds of her
dress. For a second she was in imminent
danger of detection; then she hurriedly
thrust tho incendiary document into the
yawning mouth of a paper bag of choice
seed-corn, which hung by the kitchen
window. And the next instant Squire
Bergamont was in the room.
“Mary," said he, "go up stairs to the
left band corner of my middle bureau
drawer and get me a clean pocket-hand
kerchief.”
And Mary went out with a dubious
glance at the nail on which the bag of
‘Early Sugar Corn’ hung."
When she returned the room was
empty, and Squire Bergamont was just
climbing up into his lumber box wagon, in
front of the picket fence.
“Bring it out here,” said the aquire.
“I’m goiug over to Miss Polly Pepper’s
to get my empty cider cask. She might
have had the sense to return it herself!"
He stowed the pocket-handkerchief
away iu his pocket, and was just taking up
the reins when Mary rushed out again,
crimson to the roots of her hair.
‘‘Father, that bag of seed corn?”
“O, it’s all right—it’s all right,” said
the squire, placidly. “I promised a little
to Miss Polly Pepper, and this is already
shelled."
“But, father,” gasped poor Mary, "let
uie tie it up first.”
“Nonsense,” said the squiie; "1 just
folded over the top, and it’ll go as snug
as a tLiefin a mill, right atop of my Bags
of meal.”
Away he rattled over the stony road as
he spoke, and poor Mary ran back into tho
kitchen to cry herself into a second
Niobe.
“O, my letterl” sobbed she; "why was
I such an idiot as to put it there?”
Miss Polly Pepper, a gaunt spinster of
a very uncertain age and a very certain
infirmity ot a temper, opened the bag of
seed corn as the squire drovo off.
“Might brought it before,” said she.
“Promised it to us last fall- Ido despise
these folks that are always putting off
t ings. Mercy upon usl what’s this?"
as she drew out the note; “some receipt
that that shiftless Mary’s tucked away
here to get out of the wayl No, it ain’t.
It’s a love-letter!—and to me—‘My
dearest Mary’—and signed at the foot
George Washington Bergamont; and
that’s his naino. Well, I do declare!
Ain’t he far gone? ‘AH opposition.’ I
s’pose be means Mary and my two
brothers-in-law, that think a woman over
forty hasn’t no business to marry! But
I’ll see ’om furder afore I’ll let ’em over
turn my matrimonial prospects —see if I
don’t ‘Teil him with my own lips.’ Of
course I will! I’ll go right over there at
once. Delay is dangerous! And see if
he really is in such a hurry."
Miss Polly’s fingers trembled as she
took her little cork screw curl out of their
papers, and pinned on a fresh collar tied
by a blue ribbon.
“Blue’s the color of love,” said she to
herselfi with a sin per, “and it was so
rouiantio of my dear George to think of
proposing iu a bag of seed-corn!”
The squire was at his supper when Miss
Pepper walked iu, flushed with her long
expedition on foot.
“Sit down and have a bit, won’t you?”
said the squire. “Mary, fetch a clean
plate.”
Miss Pepper took advantage of the
momentary absence of her stepdaughter
elect to proceed directly to business.
“George,” cried she, almost hysteric
ally, “I am yours!”
“Eh?” said the squiie.
“Forever-and ever!” said Miss Pepper,
flinging herself upon the collar of his ! oat.
“Are you era/,; '' ' said the squire,
jumping rip.
“You asaed me to be your wife,” said
Miss Polly, meltingiy.
“I didn’t,l” said the squire, k
"Then what docs this letter mean, eh?"
demanded Miss Polly. “It’s as olsar a
declaration of love ss ever was writ. Aud
good ground to sue on."
Thi squire stared at the sluiot of paper
ns Miss Pepper waved it triumphs.>’!y
over his head
“But I didn’t write it," gasped be.
“Then who did?" demanded Miss
Pepper.
Just at this moment Mary, entering
with fresh ton aud a clean plate, caught
sight of the letter.
“It’s mine,” she cried, with a sudden
dyeing of the cheek and a glitter of the'
eyes. "My letterl How dare you read
it, Miss Pepper?”
"I got it out of the bag of seed corn,"
protested the spinster.
“And I put it there fer safe-keeping,’
blushingly acknowledged Mary Berga
mont. And Mary confessed. “George
Lake, papa.”
Miss Pepper went home, erying very
heartily, with mortified pride and disap
pointed expeetations. And the squire
came to the conclusion that true love
would have its way in spite of all dissent
ing of the'parents.
“Papa," said Mary, "please may I
have George?”
“I don’t care,” said the squire.
And that in his case passed for an
affirmation. But the squire remains a
widower still, and Miss Pepper’s chances
grow “small by degrees and beautifully
less."
RAVES WISE FOR UNO*.
Men will always be found who are mean,
spirited euough ts cringe to place and
power, no matter by what base means
the place and powor were won. They do
not loathe but oovet the thrift that fol
lows fawning- Even Hayes has toadies.
Out of the two Houses of Congress three
or four, possibly five or six. members
ran to the White House to condole with
the man who stands where the President
should be, over the attack uiude upon
hiui by the brave and true Seuat. r
Howe. It is almost superfluous to udd
that Cameron and Hoar are found in the
very short lint of names. Tho put pose of
the visit was to offer to Mr Hajc:
have torn* one —who it does not apprir
—defend him against the charges pre
ferred by Mr. Howe for fear that other
wise they would be taken as true. True?
Mr. Hayes knows, as these Visiting
Statesmen know, that the charges are
truo as Gospel.
For once Mr. Hayes was wise. At all
eveuts he was discreet. He counselled
absolute silence on the part of his hand
fill of adherents. He was well aware
that no answer could be mads, and he
was opposed to an effort at reply which
most be at once unsuccessful and ridicu
lous.
So here we have the spectacle of an
Acting President of the United States
who, when arraigned in the upper
House of the national Legislature by a
diatinguisbed and honored Senator on
charges sf a most injurious character, re
fuses to plead, but stands mute!
Yet this was the bost Mr. Hayes could
do. Ilis case admits of no successful de
fence. He stands condemned by the
men and press of both parties. He has
fortunately for himselfjust enough to elieck
tha ill-advised proffer of aid from the few
subservient spirits around him, for he
knows it will do him more hurt than
good.— N. Y. Sun.
THR DESPISED ADMINISTKATIOJf.
When John Tyler betrayed the Whig
party and set up to elect himself Presi
dent by organizing the officeholders inte
a personal faction, he was cast out by Mr.
Clay and the great leaders of that day,
who defeat to dishonor.
Though selfish and vain, and false to his
pledges, Tyler was not wanting in ability
or experience in publie affairs, aqd with
all his faults he had a following in Con
gress of conspicuous champions like Caleb
Cushing and Henry A. Wise, familiarly
known as the Corporal’* Guard. They
dofeuded his acts and his motives warmly,
and it is due to the truth of history to say
they were well rewarded for the service.
When Andrew Johnson qua. relied with
the Republican party, and pre ’aimed a
policy of his own to be enforced at all
hazards, he was discarded and denounced
for the treachery, and the party triumph
ed soon after as the result of that li'Toi*.

NUMBER 16.
ho was often rash, he certainly was never
craven.
For tl.e first time in the history of the
| country hu- the actual incumbent of
'the ’VI ii *;. ib - been availed, held up
as bMtb'us- to '.is own professions, ridi
c.iLr.l c.s haul, an-l branded as a de
-ev(. , without a single friend in either
; b’i'.uoh ot Congress to rise iu his defense,
; or to utter a word of extenuation in his
behalf. Wielding the vast patronage of
j the Government, ami using it unscrupu
lously to pay off personal obligations, or
to reward the managers of the Great
Fraud, lie could not command oae voice
iu the Senato to plead for him an excuse
or an apology when Mr- Howe held him
up to the public scorn and resentment.
A shallow pretender and canting dema
gogue, without any principle to guide hie
action, or any intellectual capacity or grasp
to shape a policy, he assumed to dictate
conditions to the men to whom the Re
publican party ha* been accustomed to
turn for counsel and direetien and whom
the party recognizes as its accepted
leaders. He was hardly installed in office
before pointed indignities were offered to
to these foremost minds, and they were
made to feel that neither their advice nor
their aid was desired.
In foot, there was a deliberate purpose
from the beginning to make a personal
Administration, independent of the party
which oreatod it, and to cast aside all the
influences by which an Administration, to
be effective, must be supported. Mr.
Schurs, Mr. Everts, and Mr. Shermaa,
had laid down a programme of their own;
and Mr. Hayes, as the creature of their
impruoticable theories, insisted that it
should he carried to the bitter end, with
out regard to cost or consequences.
Notwithstanding the radical difference*
that were developed in the formation of
the Cabinet, aad subsequently in the
most important appointments to office nt
home and abroad, the Republican leader*
still clung to a possible hope that an ab
solute rupture might be avoided. And
although some of them refused to hold
intercourse with Ilayes, others, like Mr.
Edmunds, cherished the delusion that he
might be brought to sec the danger of hi*
obstinate course. They tried all persona!
persuasion, aud then were forced tocon
j o' do t hat it was in vain. Thus experience
j has demonstrated to them that Hayes is
! niKonly intensely dogmatical, like most
! weak men, but he i. trioky, untruthful,
and full of deocit under the most plaasiblc
and smooth professions. This is not their
judgment alons, but, outside of the nar
row cirole which clusters aronnd present
power, it is the conviction of men of all
political opinions who have had occasion
to apply the tests of character in their
personal relations with him.
The speech of Mr. Howe was a frank
expression of the general foelings in the
ltepnblican party. Ho is not an attract
ive speaker, and is not accustomed, like
his former colleague, Matt Carpenter, to
draw great audionces. But tho Senate
was packed to hear his indignant utter
ances that day, and every Senator was in
i his place, because he gavo voice to pent
up indignation; and the popular sympa
thy broke out in applause and approba
tion, not in compliment to the oratory,
but to the strong sentiment whioh Mr.
Howe uttered.
Tylor aad Johnson had about them
public men who commanded respect for
their abilities, add who may be said, in
some degree at least, to have redeemed
their Administrations. Not so Hayes.
There is not a man connected with it whe
to day could be elected t town constable,
or who has any more influence on the
publio mind than the elerk* who do the
copying in the departments. Th* whole
concern is regarded with contempt, and it
will go into the dull chronology of history
ae a thing utterly despised.
The prospects of the Republican party
in 1880 are not brilliant at beet. But if
it intends to contest the Presidential
election seriously, the first and meet in
dispensable duty is to disown any respon
sibility for this Fraudulent Administra
tion, and to rejeot it as the Republicans
rejected Johnson in 1868, and as tha
Whigs discarded Tyler in 1842. That
done promptly and vigorously, they may
have a chance. Without it, they might
as well disband. — N. Y. Sun.
