.ckly matted with vines. TliiawuaUen-
Wiaalaon'a homesteml, and, with nl
l ution from proper hands, could have
i eon made a pleasant one. The location
Mia romantic, tho house standing upon n
green hill; Imt them was that awe and
dreadful stillness that alwuys clings to the
atmoaphrre Htirroumling u ilorertoil litma*.
Hmiry took from hia pockwt a runty key;

Our hero immediately procoideil to a
httlo eliisi't in nenreli of kiiiißing, (or tho
room wa cold and cheerio**, frttd he won
aufforing for tlio want of lire. Ho stooped
for the kindling wood, and on rining, lii*
heaver hat fell from his head; he ascer
tained tho cause, which was that it had
Jhtouio entangled iu a uiesh of spider'*
web; this enraged him, and ho dropped
tho kindling, and, while pulling the web
from hia hat, exokiimed,—
“Hung the spiders! Wonder if wo
men have nil thin trouble keeping house ?
It lion hardly been two niontlia siuco I
cleared this place of webs and spiders, and
again they lmvo toll Hcigho 1
* dreary looking place is this V
Henry sighed as lie uttered the words
in an under tone, lie soon bed a clveer
ful fir© blazing njmu the hearth. The ton
kettle was hung and set to boiling, n few
slices of meat placed is n small skillet, and
ffeury next turned to slice the loaf of
brown bread; this dvrne, fie picked np an
old flowered pitcher, and proceeded to the
next room to empty the crock of mills in
it; but lo; he found it empty.
“Good gracious I I forgot to oover the
milk, and Jcttic has stolen the lust drop F'
Ou entering the cook room a tremend
ous blaze met Henry's eye; the Skillet of
meat had caught fire from neglect, the
blaze almost reaching the lop of the man
ic piece.
Perdition I was man ever in scab n fe ?
He began blowing wibi* the whole
strength of his lungs, which olSy kswaa
• d'ttie flumes, ho tried to tight out the fire
with the brornp, but hr Van*, lot the hr
flammable brobm> ignMed making the ooo
llugration much greater, And tmr boro
came to the cohi luston that ho would fm
the next to blaze w hile running around
the room like a madman, yelling,—
“Fire 1 firo 1"
•Suddenly his eyes fell n|>oti a full bucket
of water; ho dashed it upon the firo at
once, and in an instant the (lames wore ex
tinguished. Standing still for a monieut,
In: exclaimed, —
“Fool that lam 1 Why didn't'l thinfl
i 'bat at first ? Yon were the itgly imp,
.■Hie, that caused thin tronble.”
With n Irnng, he sent the empty bucket
nt the poor, frightened eat,* causing her
; i run from her angry mantes. Aw soon
he touched tlio bucket it fell to pistes,
ti severe blow having hurst the luwqia.
Henry said nothing more, but folded bis
until, looking the pioturo of distress.
“Come in I” said he, in answer to a
i iumous at the door.
“How are yon, Henry? You loi>U
tronbted. Lost a friend ?"
The speaker was a t.‘dl dark man; and'
his name was Joe Thompson..
• T have lost throe friends. ” And Hen
ry wont on tO'lfclsto bis misfortunes to his
visitor, who lhwgitod heartily at Mm end
of the narration.
“Well, don't despond old fellow- -the
lot of an old bachelor is a bunk one. 1
Imve cume to sup with you, ami I w ill
lielp you get supper."
Off went his cost, and in a short time
Mie evening meal was upon the table. The
food was passable, with the exception of
tho meat, Joe laughingly said, —
“What makes the meat so black ?"
“I don’t know.”
“IMd you was,U tlic skillet with soap
after your meat burnt TANARUS"
“It is not often that it gets water. Did
not know soap was essential.”
“You need a wife, old man, and badly,
too; why in the world don’t yon marry ?"
I have no such troubles, good, nice food,
cleanly cooked, and a neat little wife to
pour out the golden coffee and cheer me
with her smiling face and cheery lips; I
repeat, wily don't you marry V ’
'•Too expensive- - 100 expensive !"

“The woptau rh wify— ■% family,” said

which be took from nn old chest that smelt
strongly of musk and tobacco. He next
stood before the old cracked mirror,
brushing bis course, Idaek hair, A clean
paper coHar was added, sTwl his toilet was
completed.
“Are you reiuly ?" queried .Toe, assum-'
ing nn air of inqmtioncc.
“Yes,’’ was the rejoinder.
So off they Went, Toe fwH of fttft and
froho, and Heirry with I* frightened find
palpitating heart at the Very idea of efl
hig on n htdy—something he had not
done for years. Tliey rstppcsl lightly npou
the cottage floor} H opened, ami before
them stood Mina Mullio MayfleM, hor face
buoyant with smiles. She was SVit beauti
ful, but—
“Tnst sufcfi a Woman as I lmvo dreamed
about," mused otbr hero, ou receiving au
introduction.
A conversation on different topics fol
lowed, then Joe oxcluimed, —
"I heard that you and the widower
were to ho married, Miss Mollio; shall I
credit the report ? w
"Jly no means 1 In fart yon astonish
me ! He krtrf I eoidif never make a match

not the man who would suit me."
“You have an ideat picture llsn ?”
“Indeed I have.’*
“Give us a verbid description.”
“When I marry, it will be to a man who
cares more lor business than Walking
about the street, and lounging around
drinking saloons. Hu must also have a
good home, plenty of poultry, and cows,
of course, for 1 am a splendid dairy maid,
and good' on raising poultry; but mind
you I would not lie the wife that would
turn my Imkter Mutegge info'money hi be

even cry before I could get it, ns many
wives lmvc t*> do. All 1 money' earned by
my bands would be mine, or there would
be a jar in the family, sure," said 'Mollio,
with a toss of the head.
Joe indulged iu a hearty laugh, and at
the same Mute gave Henry a nudge Wit®
the enne, ns much as to-sav, “Now is yonr
time."
“Fearing Nolly will think I am lost iu
the snow storttg F Willi relieve her anxiety
liy bidding you both good night,” said
Joe, aloud; and ho board and left, the
room. As soon a there was no third per
son present, Henry made good use of his
time. He forgot tliut he wns an old bnch
elor, forgot the piles of gold aud tjilvor
that lay in the musty chest, forgot the
oggrovuting Jettie, forgot everything but
the cheerful woman before him.
Henry's visits to the cottage were fre
quent, and the consequence vie tlwit in
six weeks Miss Mol lie May (h hl-waa made
Mrs. Heniy Woodson.
Fifteen mouths passed rapidly by, and
one evening Henry Woodson returned
from business iu a-great burry. On en
| tering the room,lie said,—
1 "1 say, Mollie dear, have a nice supper
this evening; two of mir old friends will
lm lwo.”
“Who are tliey 7" queried tho wife,
anxiously.
“foe and Nelly; yon know they have
been gone to tlielr old Southern home ton
months or more, and have just arrived. I
want yon to put on your best looks. By
the by, here is a set of jewelry I bought
for you. Have them on at supper.”
“Noitoacnse 1 That’s tom foolery—-I
don't want them.”
“Yon ronst wear them; they are liecom
ing to you, and make you look ao young. ”
Henry hud laid his pasaiou for gold,
ami iu this new mid happy life he could
not do enough for Ills wife.
He studied all her Hauls, and likewise
gratified them.
In a few hour*, tlio circle of friends were
ftcattxl around tho supportable, where
fried ham and cliickcp, fresh rolls and hat
ter, mid honey of golden hue, did credit
to the housekeeper The alienee waa
broken by Joe, who related tho story
nbout Henry's domestic troubles the
evening he started him upon Ilia first love
aflitir. At the end of hia narration, a
faint, ory issued from the trundle lied. Joe,
shirting in hia chair, said, —
“fs Unit .fettle 7”
“No, It’s our little Iluby,” exclaimed
HeWry, the doting father, who brought the
three mouths old bills: to the tuble, talking
all kinds of baby talk.
“Do you find married life expensive,

“I ai.i contented, Jim, fcpli'd Henry.”
Ho we will drop the curtain, reador,
over this liappy domestic scencc, and
leave them in the embrace of uninterrupt
ed happiness.
Idol-Breaking.
There Ims never la-on a time in the j
history of the world when there Ims been j
so much Idol-breaking as at tho present j
day. Not, indeed, the stone and woodett ;
idols of the heathen, hut sileh as are man
ifested iu that blind worship which
clothes a man with attributes far beyond
what he deserves, or conld honestly elaini
if left to depend upon real merit.
We have find heroes financial, heroes
political, mid heroes clerical, who have \
been looked up to with profound awe by !
their loopectivo circles of worshippers and
adorers. In flounce, the plain principle*
of honesty have been set aside, and great
wealth, at whatever hazard, has been the
only thing striven for; and when a man
has shown extraordinary ability in so
manipulating stock* of railroads and other
corporations, sound or unsound, as to get
possession of a largo amount of other
people's money, his exploits have filled
tho newsimjiers, mid have druwn about
him a circle <rf sycophants and servile
worshippers who huvo clothed him witli
extraordinary fltmnetid talent*. They
euniKit ileny that genoro is fellow lhal he
Was he had tnrtied just u little out of the
plain path of right; “hut then," say these
Worshippers, “his operations were so
grand 1 To get control of a railroad, or to
create millions of slock, is none of your
common crimes. I only wish I were such
n financier 1” And so this fellow, and a
thousand like him, fall down and worship
the plundering adventurer.
In polities, there has been, for ft long
' period of years, a strong tending to hero
worship. There is, it must lie confessed,
something attractive anil cveu fascinating
in the iahsmanic career Of the sneoeseffrl
politician. Once he lift* arrived, no
matter by what road, to the dignity of
licing called a “statesman” ho ha* his
company of Worshippers, who gather
about him anil defend him, nt all linxnWfa,
through thick and thin. Formerly, when
there was no telegraph, and the news
paper press was a weak, ono-horsc affair,
this political idol could lie borne onward
for serve* of years, perhaps for a life
time, on the wave of jsipular favor, and
go down to his grave worshipped as • po
litical saint, wltou iu reality his whole life
had lmen one of trickery and deception,
and political jugglery. 77*** however,- it
matters not trrw sWseossftißy the pofffieian
has rid Won on the topmost wave of po
litical favor, nOr bow many worshippers
hang upon his utterances, if he be a
fraud,it is bound to lieeomc known, nud the
fact is flashed over tlio wires, and is spread
out in tho newspapers to the gaze of forty
mlllioiis of people. It is nows—“only this
and nothing more” but this news breaks
the spell, and our “statesman" is found,
upon investigation, to have been deep in
jobs,” “Credit Mobiliors,” "Subsidies,”
“Indian Swindles,” “District Ringn," and
political eliicanery of all kinds.- Our
“statesman." is ft statesman no more. His
worshippers disappear as If by magic, and
he is buried past redemption iw political
ruin, and may consickr himself fortunate
if he do not pass his declining years be
hind the prison liars. The telegraph and
the press have given the facts in his case
to' tiie whole nation-, ami' they have found
him guilty. Woe to him- forever Mure !
He is only a political idol smashed into
forty million pieces, aud scattered to the
wiuds of iufnmy.
Again there is a w hisper that there is a
whited sepulchre in the church. The
ever alert “representatives of the press”
visit the church, and move about among
the deacons and the humbler purishiouers.
They go even to the sepulchre itself, tliey
tloisip upon it, and they slap the staid
deaeons familiarly ou the hack, and direct
ly is flashed over the wires, “Something
hollow here 1” If that sepulchre is full of
dead men’s lames, the reporters rattle
them wt Ik They knock them about like I
so many pins iw a bowling alley; and-all j
the deacons iu Christendom can’t stop ;
their clatter. To tho newspaper it is only 1
news to be set before millions of readers, j
These are the jury wlio hike the facts,
analyze them, uiiil make up their decision. !
If “guilty,” it is only another idol dashed !
to atoms, only another little coterie of
worshippers weeping over the fragments
of their broken god.
We do not believe there is at present, !
more of this sort of idol worship than 1
there has been in times post; but there is
; a great deal rnoro idol-breaking than ever
: la-lore. Witli the telegraph and the news-
1 1 wiper proas, a false god, whether flnuu
\ eiul, political or religions, is soouer or
later stripped of it* gilding, taken to
pieces and shown up iu all it* deformity
and hollowness. But it must be remem
bered that with the facts of a case before
them, the great jury-public generally, get
at the truth, and that their decision, how
ever crushing it may lie to the gnilty, is
in the main, marvellously just.—Owr Fire

The Civil War in Kentucky.
The little nrtny from Louisville has ar
rived In Lancaster, and the war lias
dwindled to pursuit of fleeing negroes and
whites. Heifers, Hep., and Kennedy,
Dem., the prominent gentlemen for whom
the fight seem* to have lieen made, do
not appear to have figured eonapienonsly
in it, *nd are probably both safe. The
proclamation of Judge Owsley, backed ly
the bayonet* of the State troops is likely
to have a quieting effect, aud it is scarcely
probable that there will be any further
trouble.
This state of affairs is much iliffereut
from that of Friday, when re-inforeo
menta for the Kennedy party had arrived,
and the Hellers jiarty, armed witli Spencer
rifles, hud intrenched themselves; when
the United Htati-s troops had been fired
on by both parties and liad retired in dis
gust; and when tie© forlorn hope of an
armed “ieace port*” bad established it-1
•elf in a corner building of the public
square liotween the belligerents.
This remarkable little war began last
Wednesday night, when as Esquire Fred.
Yeakey, a relative of Kennedy, was cross
ing the square, a volley was fired at him
from lieliuid an old ruin. Boas Smith, a
colored Democrat, who was with him, fell,
shot in the groin. I>r. Bnrdett, while
going to Smith's assistance, waa shot iu
tho leg. A brother of Kenney’s was
wounded about the same time, as he stood
in the door of a hotel, and Oeorge Orffln,
white boy, was struck in the leg by a
bullet. While Dr. Burdctt was being
carried away he was again Wounded, this
time in the side. Noajrty the whole of tin
next night Kennedy’s house was fired
into, and an attempt wo* made to hum it. l
Enquire Fred. Yeakey was again fired on, !
and was slightly wtmuded, and a spent
bull that flew into Kennedy's lioiise
wonnded Kennedy'* son, * boy nine years
of age. These iiermma, and perhaps twu
| or tiiree others, make up the list of wound
: ed. Saturday night Hellers’ house was
; burned and three negroes are reported to
have lieen burned with it. Besides these
three, but trhc negro lost his life timing nil
the firing that has occurred. The origin
of the Whole trouble is traced to an old
grudge between Heller* and Keuneily,
which was renewed in the best of the lust
election.
LATER.
Hardly has the smoko begun to clear
away at Lauuaatcr before another enll for
Help comes from Gov. Lffidie, and moro
State troops are inarched away. Monte
rey, Owen county, is the new He it of
war. One of a posse guarding the Coun
ty Attorney ha* been killed, and the rest
narrowly escaping with their lives.—
Further trouble seems imminent, and tho
militia will lie ou the grouuil to-ilay,

An English Execution,
On the 10th mist., at eight (/dock,
Tliomaa Macdonald was hsngod within
the Devon futility Jail at, Exeter, for the
murder of Bridget Welsh, nt Plymouth.
| The convict was only thirty-five years of
age, ami had Iteen discharged from tlio
ltoyal Marines. Ho then wont to live
with Welsh, who was a married woman
with a family of children, Imt separated
from her httslmird. Upon tho evening of
July 5W he violently ftimftnlted the woman,
and at noon tlio nest day both Mac
donald aud Welsh were found in the
lodgings they occupied, stretched out upon
the floor, apparently dead; but flits #ss
not the aa*e, only with the latter, for, al
though the mnn s throat was eut, he was
but insensilde nud waa restored and cured.
Ou the table ol the room there were two
letters, which he had wrtttan—one liefore
nud one after the deed. Theta letters
were, as the learned judge described them',
• “teixture of ignoruuce and religion.” In
the first the prisuor idleced that the wo
man had been unfaithful to him, sml ex
pressed his intention of killing her. In
tho second he stated that ho , had killed
her, but he hoped thatjlhey would meet
in Heaveu, amt he trusted ’ that her fate
would bo * (tattling to other women not
to “try s man too tar.” He requested
that bis property (uear LJO) might be
drfrdod among the poor of Stonebonae,
and he also mentioned a sum to be paid to
the Romnu Catholic priest for musses for
the souls of the woman and himself, dt
the trial a defense of insanity was no ev
idence to support this, and almost with
out a moment's hesitation the jury found
the prißbi Ar guilty.
Since his conviction the coWdemed mnn
| has appeared to bo quite resigned to his
; fate, and the moroseness wdiioh distiu
j guished him at the trial passed away al
i most immediately afterwards. He has
beCA very attentive to the ministrations of
the Roman' Catholic priest, the Rev.
Father Hobson.
Cnlcraft was the exftntfoAer, but he
brought an assistant with him. The pris
oner has, ever since his sentence, express
ed himself prepared for his fate, and ban
during the mteyval conducted himself in a
very becoming manner, and expressed
himself perfectly satisfied with the justice
of his sentenoe. It is behoved that Mac
donald is a feigned name, as no inquirires
have been by any relative since he has
been in jail, The convict hh'ftSelf stated
that he had a father and mother living,
and they were in good circumstances, but
he would rather die a hundred deaths than
they should hear of the end that hail
overtaken him. Ou tlio night of the 9th
lie slept well for between six and seven
hours, and got up and dressed about Imif
past & o’ckwk in the morning. An hour
afterward he received the priest in bis cell,
and the reverend gentleman remained with
him nntll hia death. The prisoner walked
firmly to tho scaffold, but .fast as tlio
priest was leaving the platform 1 , the con
vict fell bock into tho arms of Caleraft’s
assistant; simnltanceonaTy, however, the
diop Reft, nd the culprit appeared to die
tu once.— Ee.
—
A young man who had spent a Nftle Of
bis own time and a great deal of his
father's money iu titling for tho bar, was
asked, after his examination, how ho got
along. “Oh, well enough-,” said he;
‘"'l answered one question right" “Ah,
indeed !” said tlie old gentleman, with
looks of paternal satisfaction at his son’s
peculiar smartness; "and What was it V”
'•They asked me wlmt a quf fan* action
was." “That was a hard one, and vou
answered it correctly, did you 7” “Yes;
I told them I did not know.”
We ore noxiously waiting for Lent to
come again, having oouvmeed onr mother
in-law that all good Christians ought .to
