Six months afterwards ! redeivod * verbal message through a mu tual friend that she had ceased to care for me.

In the evening, however, I was deter mined that i would slsek mid And out from Mary, or oven from Florence herself, the mystery of her sudden elnuigo of mind toward me. How lovely the three sisters looked as they came into tho room ! Bui Florence, despite an air of sadness which had hardly left her face sine© 1 had been at the Chaso, was tho handsomest picture I over saw. I asked her for the first wait/,, arid got it.

She said no; it so remained a mystery to her as to me- -the only possible elite she could give mo being that she might have heard that I had been tlirting with somebody else. “No, Mary,” I said, “you know mo too < well for that.” I then asked Mary if Viuntng was not engaged to Florence, and if she did not care for him. “Why.” said slie, “don’t you know that he is engaged to Milly, and is only wait ing for father’s consent to get married ui once—only they had a little miff to day because lie thought you were paying atten - tion to Milly—that’s all.” The next "dance I hail with Florence was j thfi seventh.

I turned wound in sunwise nt seeing Florence holding in her hand tho white camelia of the preceoiling evening, and Uncle Guy, with a shy smile, said: “1 know all about it, yon young raecnl; you made a previous mistake.” I said tliat l had, but 1 couldn’t help it. “Now, my boy," said Unoie Guy, “yon two can walk home liy tire lanes together, ami I’ll drive tire pony carriage by the road.

Milly is go ing out to India with her husband, Vin ning; bat wo Floroneo and myself -arc to live in tho old Chase and take care of our Uncle Guy. -*•*- ■ Repentance Coming Too late. The Now York Nation, whoso Rudienl proelivitios are sufficiently pronounced to need no comment from us, is moved to make use of tho following Imigmgo: “After tho close of the war there arose tho same complacent mode of viewing tho qnostion of reconstruction, (live tho ne groes the ballot, we Bnid, and prevent any political discrimination on account of race or color or previous condition of servitude, mid all will be well. The result has been the return of a large part of the South to a condition of barbarism. kVelmve there made life and personal liberty safe, but many of the tilings which make life and liberty worth havingarb gone or going.” Repentance, when it comes ton late, in the gloomiest of sarcasms and Radical roconstrnotioß never received a sharper or more suggestive rebuke than iaiuhninis terocl in this lament of tho Nation. We infer from it, however, that some of tho more lamest and intelligent thinkers of tho party tiro beginning to mi live (he wrong they have assisted in committing end foresee its results. They know now, if never before, that in a count ry like I his of ours whatever tends to humiliate and oppress one soctiou must sooner or later react upon all the rout. If, as Lincoln wns no food of assorting, “no nation can exist half slave and half fret', ’ then surely no nation can prosper with half of it in tho sunshine of law and order and the other half plunged in the shadow of social and political aoiuovftllzntion and decay. \Vo of tho North are apt to think that, no : matter what happens to the Mouth, our fortunea are secure, and that the trials and persecutions ofonr Bister commonwealths can never by any possibility affect us. This is an error for which, if wo persevere in it, we shall pay dear. Not only are the business relations of U o family if States so intimely and indissolubly blended that the misfortunes of one member must necessa rily'move or less involve tbe rest, but legaliz' and misgovermueut fastened upon even a single While gradually extends its pernicious influence to all. The freedom of Illinois nod .Missouri would bo more .se cure to-day if ihnith Onroliua aud lioulsi ana were free; and if these latter are to remain as they umv are, and time may count, will conic, when Ilia former must hear h similar yoke. 'Po dill ourselves a Republic when! from any cause, a. portion of the national domain i-< struggling under a system which is nothing more or loss than tyranny, is an insult to common sense. To suppose wo enn escape the consequences ; of incoming and supporting that system, j is tho height of madness. Having planted thu seed and watered it, wo shall as surely i reap the harvest as grass grows and water ’ runs. The Nation, speaking for the Kopnbli cun party, intimates that the conferring of the ballot upon the negro was a meas ure dictated by what appeared to be a wise philanthropy. Wo do not doubt that many of the rank and tile of the party took this view of the ease, and were ; perfectly sincere in pressing their eonvic | lions to a logical conclusion. Hut the j leaders, with one or two honorable ex i eoptiolis, labored under no such amiable delusion. They advocated the elevation of the negro to tlw rights of citizenship, not because they loved him, not because they thought ho was competent to prop erly exercise those rights, but to aecom j plish two tilings the prolongation of ! party j rawer and the punishment of the South. Had ii not been morally certain that the blacks in a mass would support the Itopubliean ticket, and that by their votes tl\c white people of the South could bo kept in bondage for iui indefinite period, tiio ballot would never liavo been given to the African race. Partisan policy and sectional hatred were the two influ ences which lifted this race, just emerged from centuries of servitude, into political etpudity with their former masters, and by their numerical superiority literally gave tlyPUl domiiiiot},oyer.yiQHo masters. Art stroke of VengeAitce adgjinistopcd by tlio vidvWs to Uie vbtrtpnshed, this wna a Hploo did suocess: as anew feature added to tho experiment of popular government, it has been, thus far at leant, a stupendous fail ure the full oofiitoqueuco* of which it is impossible vet to estimate. “Tlie States lately in rebellion” have been grievously chastised, but -according to the Nation- - “a large part of the South has returned to a condition of bArhariitn;” the en franchised froodmen booted and spurred have ridden fust mid furiously, but—ac cording to tlio Nation —“many of the tilings which make life and liberty worth having, afo gdno or going. * ,i There are somo paths which, though fraught with danger, bring experience which may bo available for future guid ance; i not ;ono of them. The government lias deliberately conferred suffrage upon a class unprepared to rightly use it, and whoso ignorant abuse of it is now painfully apparent. Tlio gift ono. bestowed cannot ho withdrawn, no matter wliat evil emanates therofrom. Wo have got our elephant, and must henceforth watch him as clow Jy os. wo can and con trol him as best wo may. —St. Louis lie publican. From Cuba A Bloody Battle. New York, April 4.—A letter from Ha vana says information obtainable about the recent battle of ( liuuiiiimo say it was one of Hid hardest contested fight* that has taken place between tlio insurgents and Span iards. Of tlio wounded brought to Ha vana most all have received their injuries by tlie machete. They report they were over two hours fighting at close quart ore. Brigadier Arminan, with about 3,(MX) men -cavalry, infantry and artillery becom ing aware of the massing of the insurgents under Maximo Gomex, marched forward, and on the 15th day of March encountered thorn in large force. An attack was imme diately begun by tho Cubans, so that Ar tniuan had barely time to form a square— p aoing bis artillery in the centre, the cav alry being ordered to cut its way through the enemies’ lines and procure' reinforce ments at Puerto Principe. The cavalry was fearfully cut up—very few being left to bring the news of the critical oomlision of the Spanish oiihißins.

The losses of the Spaniards were very severe, and it is reported that over forty oflleers are killed and wpyiidod. llgtii sides fought with great bravery. On the evening of tho l!)th of March, Captain General .Tovellar took precaution ary measures for protecting the exchange offices and rumors of manifestations to lie lumle iigatfitt those institutions wereufloat. Word wan sent to the Spanish admiral to have the marines in readiness for land ing at a moment’s notice.

Toy, arrested by Pinker ton’s detective agency for embezzling while acting an conductors on tho New Jersey division of tlie Pennsylvania rail road, and who pleaded guilty, were brought up for sentence to-day. Mr. Cas siday, representing the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, said: “I desire, before moving for sentence in tlrqfs* counsel of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, at whose instance these pros ecutions were commenced, to say that our purpose mainly in having tlm ease of Hhreves called to trial was to demonstrate j to employes of this and all other corpo rations, us Well ns to the community, that no combination of these servants were so powerful or so adroit in their management as to ho able to defy the law; that tho law of the land was powerful enough to protect, the lights of corporations as well as to re ward faithful servants. "This corporation has instructed me that they have and had no fooling in the matter except to vindicate the law or to ask you in mercy to those men to bo temper your sentence so ns to prevent imprisonment,, and yet impose such punishment as will show that this is not an idlo ceremony, but is to ho a warning for tho future to all oonoerhod.” The Judge said: I very mnoh regret to find men who have hitherto occupied ro speotablo positions, now placed at the bar of thin court for sentence. I have no hesi tancy in saying. Hint hut. for the course of the district attorney, coupled with the appeal of the counsel for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for a merciful sentence l should lmvo imposed imprisonment us n part of my sentence. Regarding, how ever, their request, in the belief that a moderate sentence may have tho effect of deterring others, I have concluded so omit the im prisonment, but to impose tlio highest of tines allowed by the act of the Assembly, The sentence is that each of you pay a tine of ??fioo and the costs of the prosecution, and stand committed until tho same is paid. A Damaging Admission. Commenting on one of the Now York h'craht'K warlike articles on the suhjoofc of inflation, thu Charleston (’purior says: TlnS Herald makes this flainligirig ad mission: “Jt iron not because slavery teas immoral that ice fnutjlti over it, hut because whilo it continued either slave labor or free labor must become unprofitable.” The truth is leaking out at last. All the rhetoric about the horrors of slavery, about the separation of husbands amt wives, about the traffic in human flesh, was, with the East, as far ns the Herald un der,-funds it, a client and a subterfuge, in tended to divert llio country from the true object of the Abolitionists, which was “the almighty dollar.” There was no thought Of principle. Slavery was not op posed because it was immoral, but because slave labor was a dangerous competitor of free labor. Money v.as at the bottom of the auii-tdnvery agitation, as the South always bciieved. The- ll -rnl l makes open confession, and, money led to one great struggle, fourteen years ago, so shall it lead to a mightier revolution. As the Herald phrases it, “inflation moans war dril mar- -forced upon the Atlantic States by the West and Southwest,” ami, it might have added, the South and Soutli cost. How to com. w\Tnit. —lf it is desired to cool water for drinking in warm weather, and ice can not bo obtained, let it be kept in an unglazod earthenware pitcher, wrapt around with two or three folds of course cotton doth, kept constantly wot. The theory of cooling water in this manner is the absorption of heat from it, by the evaporation of the moisture in the cotton cloth —expansion produces cold, ooinpres i-ion heat XSCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

One is they don’t have any business, and tlie other is they havon’t any mind. Tho question is frequently asked, “How muoh is a horse power ?” We saw a man who was kicked by a horse the other day, but he is too sick to tell. Tho editors of tho Cincinnati Enquirer aro growing truthful. Speaking, doubt less, for themselves, they say: “Next to pork, whisky is our main dependence."' “Who outs your clothes, Tommy ?” asked a visitor of a curiously rugged boy. “Well,” said lie, ingenuously; “ma cuts my pants and pa cuts my jackets." “Mr. Jones, what makes my canary sleep on ono leg ?” “I don’t think that anything makes him do it. ma’am.

Mr. Groeloy did not invent tho phrase “Go West,” as is generally supposed. The original of tho remark was when Uuth said (many years B.

A fellow in Norwich was bitten by n dog.

A hoarder at a Nashville hotel called for boiled eggs one morning. Tho waiter returned from tho kitchen after a few moments absence with the information that the eggs were not good enough to boil, but that, they were first rate scram bled.
