“She** all the world to me," tang she,
With cadences love-haunted;
On swell*! the song-stream to the sea,
The dreamer atill enchanted.
And when at length the song was sang
Its last sweet echoes dying,
Swift to his feet the dreamer sprung,
Ilis full heart throbbing, sighing.
The throb, the sigh, broke from control—
It was the **old, old story,”
Love lit her eye. Love swept his soul,
And the was Annie Lawrie.
O, Singer, sing ! O, Dreamer, dream 1
Aud may your siugiiig, dreaming,
Ne’er know* of glory less a gleam.
Nor fall from its high seeming.

Mr. Arkwright says that since the

Mr. Edward Paddleford. one ot the

A DUCHESS MARRYING A TENOR SINGER.
[Olive Logan ill the Morning Cult]
Pants, Dec. 5.—Only think of her
grace, the Duchess of Newcastle,
making up her mind lo become Mrs.
Tom Holder! Although she has a
son, the present Duke, about 14 years
old, sho is still young, and excessive
ly handsome. I suppose we may con
clude that her marriage with the
Duke was, on both sides, ore of inter
est. She is the heiress of the great
banking house of IIo|>e, and the
country seat, Hopedcne, is one of
tlie greatest castles England boasts,
among her many such.
To make a long story short, they
separated, everybody in London

many years was Kate Santlev, the
wants to know when ho really looks
ill let him consult in a chill morning of
December a looking-glass that has its
back to the light. The spectacle is
hideous. If a woman desires to know
when she is most unbecoming, it is at
a wedding breakfast in a Loudon
bouse ou a foggy morning of Decem
ber. Then again it is inconvenient.
The church is over ; the breakfast is
short and spasmodic. Every one
feels in the way until the dear beloved
couple have departed amidst their
slippers and rice, and then it is all the
more wearisome than ever. The
poulterer's boy, taking round the
trussed fowls next door, has had his
peep; the nursemaids and loafers have
clambered into some convenient posi
tion ; there has been a laint cheer be
low and a few giggles from tho bal
cony and then all is over. A elever
young lady once pertinently asked:
“ What docs the bridegroom say wlien
the carriage drives away and all this
tomfoolery is at an end ?” There
were various answers, ranging from
** My adored one and heart’s idol!”

• seven years would be as good as
y other. The argument against a
second term that a President is
tempted to use his patronage to re
elect himself is unsound. The moment
a President t:sed his effice for such a
purpose he would Bill. It would lio
the suicide of his administration. It
would offend the people ami array
against him public men, most of
whom are dreaming of the succession
for themselves, and would resent a
policy they deemed to he an invasion
of their own rights. There is nothing
■ in that argument. Patronage does
not Htrcgtheu a President. When you
take up the question of third terms,
and projtose permanent ineligibility
afterwards, yon are encountered with
the argument that in free govern
ment the people have a right to elect
whomsoever they please, aud that be
cause a man lias served his country
to the practical and unpoetical “ Give
differ ent stoma about this
alliance, some saying that it was the
Duke who took theatres for Kate
Santlev in London, so as to keep her
up as a star, and others averring that
he was jtoor, and that it was the bur
lesque actress who supplied him
with funds out of her professional
earnings.
Meantime the affection which Latl
sprung up between the Duchess and
Tom Holder, the tenor, was also a
matter of common observation,
though not one of scandal, because
their conduct was discreet. One day
last winter the Duke died snddeuly,
in his bachelor’s room, in St. James
street, and Kate Santley paraded the
streets for a month in widow’s weeds.
I suppose tlie widow’s year is about
to elapse, so that now the engagement
between the tenor and the Duchess
may be announced.
I saw them driving together the
other dav. She is lovely, aristocratic,
sweet, exquisitely dressed, lie is a
nice, fresh-looking Englishman, sings
f trettily, and, of course, is desperate-
y in love. He told a friend of mine
that it was in every way such a stroke
of good luck for him that he was
afraid to cross the street lest he
should he run over before the happy
day came Tom Hohler is the tenor
who first supported Miss Kellogg in
her first London engagement twelve
years ago. His father is a clergy
man.
AN INTERVIEW WITH TILDEN.
A young man’s interest and duty
both dictate that he should make
himseifindispensahle to hia employers.
He should be so industrious, prompt
and careful that the accident ot his
temporary absence should be noticed
by bis being missed. A young man
should make his employer his friend,
by doing faithfully and minutely all
that is entrusted to him. It is a great
mistake to be over nice or fastidious
about work. Pitch in readily and yon
will be appreciated, while the **high
toned" young man who quibbles about
what it isaod what it h not bis place
to do, will get the cold shoulder.
There it a stoir that George Wash-
jton once helped roll a log that one
his corporals would not handle, and
the greatest Emperor of Bussia work
ed as a shipwright in England—to
learn the business- That’s just what
you should want to do. Be energet
ic, look and act with alacrity, take an
interest in your employer’s success.
Work as though the bhsiiieas Was
your own and let your employer
know that he may place refianse in
your word and on yhnr act Bo mind-
ful; have your mind on your business;
because it b that which is going to
help you, not those outride attrac

thinking about Take a pleasure in

formal manner, but with alacrity and

working thus for others, yoa are lay

On Christmas day a Wbitehaller
bought a goose for oue friend and bad
a cabinet picture of himself taken for

Tilden at once commenced the con

free talk about the election in 1S7G,
and the great fraud perpetrated in
counting Mr. Hayes into the Presi

want to avoid, it seems to mo, is not
re-elections but frequent elections. I
think the best plan, one that would go
further to satisfy all opinions, would
lie one term of six or seven years and
ineligibility to re-election. Practic

Eligibility alter an intervening term
would n< t he of much value, for, in

herself in direct connection with Knox
ville, we hope sho will do it; and if
necessary, we should help her to doit.
But we think a wise plan would bo
to connect the Central Railroad with
Athens by the building of the Eaton-
ton and Athens Railroad, and to
command Knoxville from two poinu—
Athens and Augusta. \Y r e take from
the Augusta Chronicle an interestin''
statement as to the number of miles
from Augusta to Knoxville. The
reader can add the number from Sa
vannah to Augusta, about 131 miles,
and he will see how far we are front
Knoxville by the Augusta route.
But it is all important, we think, to
keep an eye on the building of the
Eatonton aud Athens Railroad, which
will give two important strings to
out commercial bow.
But to facts and figures as we find
them in a communication to the Au
gusta Chronicle:
“ By actual surveys the distance
from Knoxville to Augusta via Ash-
villo is 375 miles via Atlanta 381
miles and via Rabun Gap only 315
miles, a saving of nearly sixty miles.
Ot the Rabun Gap route, the shortest,
one hundred and fifty-sixth miles are
already in operation, namely, the
Northeastern and the Georgia road
to Athens. State aid is guaranteed
trout Lula to the North Carolina line
(53 miles) and the latter Slate offers
her whole convict force free to grade
the 71 miles within her limits, while
the Tennesseeans propose to completo
the remaining thirty-three miles to
their State line. A short link then
from Knoxvillu gives connection di-
iec-1 with • Louisville and Cincin
nati. The comparative distances to
Louisville from Augusta are via Ash-
ville 640 miles, via Atlanta 040 miles,
and via Rabun Gap, or Athens, 580,
still a saving of sixty odd miles, and to
Cincinnati via Ashville 665, via At
lanta 648, via Rabun GapG05, again
nearly sixty miles saved by the latter
route. Thus it will ho readily seen
that the original Georgia Railroad
survey is shorter than either ol the
other route- and it is stated by high

on. I said to Mr. Hewitt, I itad not
been consulted, and he replied that
Senators Thurman and Bayard were
acting in their public capacity as Sen
ators, and wonhl not consult any one

JniUj Mr. *niden. I said, Mr. Hew
itt, if Senators Thurman and Bayard
are determined not to consult me, I
cannot give advice upon the subject
to any one. If, however, uy friends
have any donbl as to my election; it
there is a reasonable doubt as to
whether there has been any election
by the people, the constitution, pre
scribes a remedy, the election of a
President by the House of Represen
tatives by a vote of Slates, and that is
what I expected Congress to do. If
the IJ-m’Tj of Representatives had
elected me I would have taken the
oath and gone to Washington to take
the office, believing that my IViends
would hate put me in the White
House. How could I take the office
when my own friends were arbitra
ting the question of my election?
I censure no one but I have told you
the truth.”
I then said to Mr. Ti'd* n, “After
the Presidential election a uumU-r of

prominent Democrat, Frank H. Hurd,
to visit you and ascertain your wish

I asked Mr. Tilden if he was a cand

A little shoeblack called at the resi

solicited a piece ol bread and some
water. The Servant was directed to
give the child 1 Wrt-.’t.l from the crumb

walking slowly away and shifting the
gift between his lingers for a pieco
large enough to chew, the minister
called hini Imftk add asked him it he
Itad ever teaVned to pray. On receiv
ing a negative answer ho directed him
to say “Oar Father,” but he could
not understand the familiarity.
“Is it our father—your father—my
father?”
“ Why, certainly ?”
The boy looked at him awhile and
commenced crying, at the -ame time
holding up hi* crust of bread, aud ex«
claiming between his sobs:
“ You say that your father is my

#|II. G. Everett, Esq., a young man

AUTHORITY OF I’AREXTS.
It is a great mistake lo suppose
that what will make a child stare or
tremble impresses more authority.
Tho violent emphasis, the hard, •
stormy voice, the menacing air only
weaken authority. Is it not well un
derstood that a bawling and violent
teamster lias no real government of
his team ? Is it not practically seen
that a skillful commander of
one of those huge floating cities
moved by steam on the ocean mana
ges and wurks every motion by a wa
ving of the hand, or by signs that
pass in silence, issuing no order at all,
save in the gentlest undertone of
voice ? So when there is to be “ real”
order in the house, it will come of no
hard and boisterous, or fretful and
termagaat way of commanding.
Gentleness will speak the word ol .
firmness, and firmness will he clothed
in that of true gentleness.
It is a great gift of the gods to ho
him wlth a htttrwl and contempt for
all injustice and meanness. It is a
higher lot never to have lied and
truckled, than to have shared honors
won by dishonors.
