Forty years ago ladies of the first respectability learned music, but it was that of the spinning wheel. Forty years ago age was respected and children knew their proper places. Forty years ago there was honesty, intellect and integrity in the Govern ment. Forty years ago Presidents refusod to ‘soli and mart their offices for gold to under-servers.’ What a falling off there is,!.. Noru’s Lcgury. BY Aim* L. lIOI.BERTON. The autumn wind whistled and moaned through the swaying branches of the stately elms that towered above the massive turrets of Ashley Mansion, and ever and anon spent its wild pis sion in a prolonged wail that penetra ted tho death chamber, where a solemn group awaited the filial stroke of tho icy hand that had already set its seal upon tho furrowed brow of Philip Ash ley. Together beside that couch knolt two stricken forms to receive the last blessing of him who had long sustain ed a two-fold relation to those mother less ones, and their hearts were nearly crushed with the weight of the impen ding blow that was soon to make them orphans. Nora Ashley, the eldest of tho sis ters, was a tall brunette, with faultless form, and a face whoso vivid intellect was in harmony with its classic beauty. A striking contrast was tho pale, wan face of Mildred, an innocent, child like face, and yet there was a piteous ex pression in the soft, blue eyes that im pressed one painfully. Tho shower of golden brown curls that fell nearly to her waist, but partially concealed the small, uncouth figure that was entire ly wanting in tho graceful contour that perfected her sister’s form ; for Mildred Ashley was hopelessly de formed, and from her birth tho unfor tunate child, for the very reason of her misfortune, had claimed a greater share of care and tenderness. “My children,” said tho old man, “do not mourn for mo, for I am going to join your saintod mother, who awaits me iu the bettor land; and if the spir its of the departed are permitted to watch over their loved ones hero, ours will hover around you iu your hours of grief; and the father of the father less will protect you when I am gone. I neod not tell you Nora, to comfort and cherish Mildred, and romember my daughter, that I have ever had your best interests at heart; and what ever changes life may bring, trust in the Lord, and time will eventually and surely reward your trust. Be true to each other and to yourselves. Nora, Mildred, my darlings, farewell!” and the sisters sank weeping in each oth er’s arms. The sick man spoke a par ting word to each of the domostics who had gathered near, and motioned the approach of two young men who had stood silent spectators of tho scone. One was Wayland Archer, the affi anced of Nora ; and the other Earlie Goodwin, a trusty agent of Mr .Ash ley. To the former he spoke some thing of which these wore the closing words : As you value my daughter’s happiness, may heaven prosper you !” His hand fell from the listless touch of the fingers it had clasped, and met the warm pressure of Earle Goodwin’s, while ho murmured, ‘Earle, you havo been faithful to mo ; be a friend to my children.’ ‘God helping me, I will,’ was the fervent reply. A grateful smile illuminated the tranquil features, and they knew that the passing spirit had but left its impress on the silout clay. Wo will draw avail over that house of mourning while we designate our characters in their respective relations. Philip Ashley was a wealthy land holder, who has gained independence by his own exertions, and tho elegant countiy residence known as Ashley Manse was erected under his own su pervision. Here ho dwelt with his two daughters after the decease of his idolized wife, and their happiness be came the one object of his solicitude. Both were equally dear to him, and if there was a softer vein of tenderness iu his pity for tho poor hunchbacked Mildred, he looked with all a father’s love and pride on the beautiful Noia, whose devotion to her sister was only equalled by her dutiful affection for himself. Sho was tho presiding genius of his household, tho queen of his home. I Earle Goodwin was the son of his boyhood’s most intimate friend. They had started iu life together, and Hor ace Goodwin’s prosperity bid fair to equal his own, when his sudden decease left a widow and sou to mourn his loss. The son Mr. Ashloy educated and af i terward took into his employ, by which ; means they were provided with a com fortable livelihood, and with tho addi tion of tho mother’s savings, tiny were enabled to lay by something for the future. Earle Goodwin was one among ten thousaud, noble, talented, unexceptionable in his character and habits. Nora aud Mildred had regar ded him as a brother from their child | hood, and the father approved and eu . couragod their intimacy, hoping that | one day he might bestow ou him tho hand of Nora, for he had seen that ho 1 loved her with more than brotherly af fection, however well ho guarded his secret. But Earle Goodwin was too proud to offer himself in his poverty to tho daughter of his benefactor ; and what ever her feelings might have been, tho wealthy Wayland Archer at length became her accepted lover. Her fa ther was disappointed in her choice, but he was not the one to interfere in affairs of the heart, and lie received his prospective son-in-law with tho best grace he could. He was not more favorably impressed when he came to know him better, yet ho hoped for the best, until he felt tho fatal (tower that was slowly and surely loosening his hold on life. But he could not leave his daughter in the hands of one whoso motive she behoved to be scarce ly deeper than his love for gain, de | spite his own wealth, for he too plain ly saw the selfish, avaricious nature beneath tho semblance of tho devoted t lover, and he determined to mako one effort to save his Nora from an unoor- tain fate, though it should break the pledge that bound her to Wayland Ar cher. The funeral rites were over, and the last will and testament of tho deceased was read. Tho fine estate of Ashley Manse was without reserve bequeathed to Mildred, to bo held in trust for her, except that Nora by any incident of late remain unmarried, in which caso she was to share said property equally with her sister. The birth- place of Philip Ashley, consisting of one hun dred acres of land, whereon stood tho satno old house that was preserved as a relic of those early years, this alone was to be tho marriage dowor of Nora Ashley. Nora was sitting alono, a few days aftor tho burial, when a servant brought her a letter Glancing at tho superscription she recognized the well known hand of her betrothed, and with a strange presentiment of sho know - not wha’, she broke the seal and read : ‘Miss Asiii.f.t : I will not intrude upon the saerodness of your beroav ment to toll you what had hotter bo said at once, without tho embarrass ment of an interview that would bo doubly painful at this time. Your father’s wishes in regard to our con templated marriage are too evident to admit a doubt, and I have no need to remind you that the prospective heiress of Ashloy Manse and tho owner of Shrunbhill Farm arc not tho same ; and I know your prido too well to flat ter myself that you would forfeit youi present position to form an allianco which would subject you to the possi ble snoors of tho envious, or that you would entor a family who could have reason to blush f„r your paltry inher itance - I therefor l ! anticipate the del icacy of your feelings, and release you from any obligations to one who proves his sincere regard by advising you to remain the respected coheiress of Ash ley Mauso. Yours with regret, Wayland Archer.’ Nora persued this letter with min g’ed emotions of astonishment and bitter scorn, but not one shadow of regret remained for one who had re vealed in those few words a phase of character ol||wliich sho did not dream when sho listened to tho glowing words with which he won her unsus pecting heart ; and with tho closing sentence ended all her love for Way land Archer ; and with tho following appendadge sho returned tho letter to its author : ‘Bnt: Tho messege I havo tho hon or to receive irom you enlightened mo of more than one subject, for which timely information I ought to thank you. I confess that I did not until now comprehend my poor father’s mo tive in tho conditions of his bequests, but he doubtless lurosaw tho late to which 1 saw so blindly lia toning, and has thus saved his child from a soul less coxcomb whoso impudence fully equals lis conceit. 1 consider that the greatest dishonor to the ownor of Shrubliiil would bo an ulliance with such as you, and I shall over bless tho memory of uiy departed parent for the act that has won my liberty ero tho fettering chain was forged.’ Four years had passed sinco the death of Phillip Ashley, and Nora stood up on balcony of Ashley Manse just whore tho slanting sunlight deep ened the rich glow upon hor olive cheek, and shimmered in and out the dark waves of hor purple black hair. Near her stood tho form of Earle Good win, gazing with all a lover’s fond noss into the eyes he might never light with love’s sweet eloquence for him, nnd his tones thrilled her as none had over thrilled her lieartb etore. ‘I could not tell you this, Nora, when you might have scorned my presumption as a fortuno hunter; and while 1 struggled on with the hope of one day gaining the right to win you I lost as 1 thought, forovor. These I offer with a heart that willchori h you with undying love.’ ‘I havo little else to give you Erlo, the heart that is already all your own. ‘I would not exchange it, darling for allelse tho world contains.’ When 4 the June roses bloomod, Nora Ashley becamo a bride, and Shrub hill Farm her marriage portion, proved to oe the seat of an extensive coal mine, with whose wealth tho estate of Ashley Manse had no comparison and by its secret discovery, i’hillip Ashley saved his daughter from a hap less union, aud rewarded Earle Guod wins’s faithful love. Waylaud Archer married a reputed foreign heiress that proved to he an adventuress who had fled from justice and he cursed tho hour that ho hud forfeited his share of Nora’s Legacy. A Lively Editor. A young friend of ours, named Grumbs, undertook to start a paper j out in Cambria county, a short timo j ago. He called it the Cambria Milky j Way. He suid iu his prospectus that 1 he intended to make the Milky Way lively, spicy, vigorous, fearless and entertaiuing ; aud he did. In tho first number he called the editor of the rival paper “a diabolical liar, an unmitigated scoundrel, and a remorse less assassin.” He alluded to the Mayor in a cheerful paragraph, as a corrupt magistrate, whose torments from tho remorse which festered iu his soul were only surpassed by the physical agony which is always the punishment of the depravod aud riotous debau ■ chee.” He soothed the feelings of the i postmaster with the remark that “the ! speculations of this official Dick Turpin ! can be compared to nothing but the I terrific roberries committed in the past j by thoso dastardly Spanish buccaneers whom he so closely resombles iu general character.” He announced under the head of ‘.Social Gossip,’ that a certain young man had been reject VO Lx VI. —NO. 38. bil tho evening before by the lady of his love, and volunteered the informa tion that it wus “the wisest thing she could have done under the peculiar circumstances,” and he related how, upon tho preceding day, he hail hoard another youth named Alexander Jones remark to a friend that if anything will make a man feel juicy about tho heart, it is to “talk velvet to a pair of sky colored eyes, by moonlight in a clover-field.” The next odition of the l paper was not issued at the regular time. Finuilyj some copies were sent over the town in balloons, aiul they Contained these editorial remarks ; “Tho editor has found it impossible to go out to hunt for news items, be cause tho mayor, and editor of tho Times, ami the postmaster, and Alexander Jones, and a number of other individuals whose names we have not been able to learn, have been sitting ou the curb stone and roosting around on the back fence all tho morning witli shot guns and other murderous weapons, and looking as if they were in earnest. We give notice hero that wo havo moved tho firo proof safe against the door of our sanctum, and have lined tho stairs with spring-guru, cross-eyed Irishmen, anil insane bullteniers who have not been fed for a week. The privileges of a free press shall not be interfered with while we wield a pen or possess a bull dog.” The Milky Way, however, died noxt day, Mr. Grumbs having slid down the water spout and taken the early train for Kansas. Those outrages against edi tors will have to be stopped, or William Penn will have died for his country iu vain. —thiladslphia Dispatch. Tfiminj! a Bridegroom. Mr. Spillman had just married a second wife. On tho day after tiro wedding Mr. S. remarked ; “I intend, Mrs. Spillman, to onlarge my dairy.” “You moan our dairy, my dear,” re plied Mrs. Spillman. “No,” quoth Mr. Spillman, “I in tend to enlarge my dairy.” “Say our dairy, Mr. Spillman.” “No, my dairy.” “Say our dairy, say our ,” she’ 6croamed, seizing the poker. “My dairy ! my dairy !” yelled the husband. “Our dairy ! our dairy !” screeched tho wife, emphasizing each word with a blow on tho back of her cringing spouse. Mr. Spillman retreated under the bed. In passing under tho bedclothes his hat was blushed off. Ho remained under cover for several minutes, wait ing for a lull in the storm. At last his wife saw him thrusting liis head out at the foot of tlrs bod, much like a turtle lrom its shell. “What are you looking for,” ex claimed the lady. “1 am looking out for my hat, my dear,” says he. for Slttvwe Tho Legal Teltifcr Acllie Cotton Xax . There are important questions to bo decided by the Supremo Court at its present term. The Washington cor respondent of tho Now York norald says of them: The caso of White vs. Hart et al.; on appeal from the Supremo Court of Goorgia, involving a question as to tho binding torce of notes given for slaves before tho issuance of tho emancipation proclamation, will be decided after argument is hoard in the similar caso of Holmes vs. Solver, an appeal from the Circuit Court of Arkansxs, which will probably bo reached in the courso of two or throe months. The decision in the former case will turn upon the question whethor the provision of tho Georgia constitution, prohibiting the enforcement of any debt, the consider ation of which a slave, or slaves, ov the hire thereof, is in contravention of the article of the National constitution which declares that no State shall mako any law impairing the obligation of contracts. The decision of the Su preme Court, rendered last spring in a caso where a note for slaves was con cerned, by other considerations ; and the impression prevalent in some quar ters that the foregoing question was thou decided is, therefore, erroneous. The opinion of tho majority of the Couit, consisting of justices Millar, Swayne, Davis, Strong aud Bradley, and that of Chief Justiee Chase and Justices Nelson, Field and Clifford, constituting the minority, in regard to tho constitutionality ol the Legal Ten der act, which was withheld when the decision was made last May, will be made public during the presont term, soon after commencement. Among the important cases to be argued this term or tlio next it is ex pected there will be one to test the constitutionality of the cotton tax. It will be remembered that a case ap pealed from Tennessee involving this question was decided by the Supreme Court last winter, when the judgement of the inferior tribunal affirming the constitutionality of the cotton tax was upheld, but only by a division ; of the Court, the Chiel Justice being absent No opinion having been ren dered and the decision applying only to the particular case then presented, other cases involving the same question | will not necessarily be decided in the same way, and the final judgement of the Supreme Court upon it is, there fore, yet to be recorded. “Not a spark of the milk of human kindness about him,’ was the way a nervous Sunday school ortaor mixed his rhetoric.
