GLORIOUSLY FALSE. [From the Courier-Journal ] BY WALKED KENNEDY. CHAPTER IE Ik -Becomes now necessary to say something of a difteroqt matter. Pem berton’s falser was a man, of poor cir cumstances, and after he had given his son a good education, the value of which he properly appreciated, natural ly expected him to provide for himself in future. By straining a point here and dropping pMnxury there; he had ^lilJi3enable\f to eend-Gharlie to college, where he evinced a fondness tor litera ry pursuits, and engaged in the de bates of a literary society wich a fair share of applause. In this society a pc v vorlJ seemed to opeu to him.—- Law became enticing ns the stepping stomp tp-ahigh position in intellectual society, os well as in politics, if inde pendence therein should ever he justly recognized.

They spent a good ileal of time iu riding thus'from place to pl .ee, chatting with pretty girls whose favor might secure a vote, mid cutting sticks with old fogies an < slow pokes, and generally sitting on'the top of a rail- fence. At length they were snccessfni. nnd Pemberton "was forualiy tendered "a rohUol’in-Seitudidtovni, Sduaiy| p’.ctu- rojkpdy on;Hudson’s banks, nun which I hesTgua'te thus, not’ lu.-causo i- is its real nubia, but because it ought t - „fe o- - When he received the appointment, it w nfed ] s wo veok- of tl e time n itake up school. ,m:d this time he em ployed in visit in : all his iri -nds pr< pm gitory todjjs.donij.eih: in a place \yh;cl- ,might fifty btkei'lnptmV-to a hornet’.- I’Uest. As Jessie Meredith was the most important of tl/t-se, Ins , future huppi'- me s being possibly liuk.d with hers, ii was proper that he should visit her just nYew dtys before his departure.— Whether he should call ou Miss Me Henry or not he had not fully decided If she were fast lapsing into a fo:mula- fed belle; the sooner their friendship; tvas chiUcd the better fir hiui. Was she coquetting at the last- meeting or not? Site seemed to wish him to com- again. He had one night vacant, on which to go to theatre or make tin call. He dressed in a preoccupied way, lint tidy, nnd .catching up a paper, seanned it to see .what was nntuing a his favorite theatre. The play was tyb.r&Bi’”'which he isad seen, nnd had thought ‘‘very .itead,” to use the lan guage of its leading character. He flung thp-paper aside gnd bent liis steps almost* uuitdufcffiotisly towards the Me- Hdi^jr residehce. It was 'lighted np, ; -as usual; and, standing before if, his thoughts were altogether difl I ul from .those tlint? Lad possessed him at the *ime he last was there. Then he was full of elation; now depression! He conjured up unwelcome thoughts of the torture to which he was exposed. To his surmise she -.vis alone. As be en tered the parlor she was sitting weary before a slight Soptemberdire, her iitlie forln coiled’graeefnlly A a huge -quaint ly-covered chair. One band suj ported the pretty head. He stopped a mo ment and gazedmstbetically fascinated, .not otherwise;-ami fie wondered what 'delicate fancies were circling there as the snowflakes drift and sink into silent streams. The dress was costly, the hair neatly braided, the feet satin slippered, the hand richly je ; welled, yet the beau tiful face repiped.; He had not long to make surmise's, for his next s'ep star tled her from her posit ion of unstudied grace. Her-greeting was a compromise; between grim fear and self-possession. JES tnc sudden recoil indicate loathing for him or distrust for herself? He menially snapped bis finger at this ■question, for he had come to pay a purely Fbnxeji'jonal visit an 1 not to busy himself with psychological no tices. ^ ' So he tallied of everything ofw-pae- 8iug interest and with a strange cynics! fineuejr. She gazed at him almost' in was not a cheerful thiag to see. “I have sometimes thought,” she said languidly, “that I should like to teach school myself.” “My desire is to subordinate every thing I do to tho pursuit of law. A knowledge of business or human nature will be invaluable. Even as a school teacher I am advancing myself as an advocate. I shall have before me a daily jury, whose confidence I must gain, whose obstinacy I must break, and into whose minds I must lodge facts oh which to build a struc ture of intelligence. I shall always be at the contrivance of seme method to dissipate dullness a id awaken latent en ergies.” He spoke with some enthusi asm, which he saw had been caught by her, yet she continued silent, for her imagination had vested the prosaic call ing of a school teacher with unknown, aye, anil unreal, beauties, and she had forgotten his presence completely. He good-naturedly; thought that the annals of the queer might be searched in vaiu for a simi lar -instance where so little was said, anil yet such an easy feoliug of security prevailed. In one of these gaps of alienee she observed- iucisively: “To the resolute, school teaching is a good traiuing; but it will only con firm the irresolution of the weak.— Wilat of I lie people and the ’own?” “The town is like all couutry towns, chock full of -caudal. Law and order ar * a:ere unmikies. The boys have reached tire acme of imperfection. A knife was dtawn on the last teacher who .-udeavored to whip a youngster; and such pleasantries, .1 am told, are quite universal; Every townsman has some thing to say about his neighbors, ami on the testimony of its residents the town stands convicted. Though the society is had, the scenery is'excellciit, .mil v.i.l more than repay’ me for what l ose in losing g". d companionship. 'The Hudson never grows old. yeti know; so [ shali have oue familiar friend. The •omitt-y back of the river stretches away u verdant hills, crowt.ed frequently by uni-brown cottages peeping modestly r ou tho gceeuuess. The town it sell is situated on one of these hills, and is guarded l>v large trees. A zig zig road jams through, and is lost- to sight at •he top of the hill.” “I should think,” said she, “it would be very disagreeable |o be kept from good society. It would be a veal ad vantage to be placed among honest country piopie, but an atmosphere bris ling with knives ami pistols—uglil”. site gate a slung of tlie shoulders and distorted her . features with a grimace, at which Pemberton gave a hearty sn perils laugh and sa.d: Nor should I like it as a perma nent thing. I would as soon think of living on a desert Isle as of living there a life-time. The solitude will bean ad vantage and the exfttement an iippeti zcr. For a while I must stifle whatever ambition I have. - To aim at sudden greatness is absurd, and my eue is to be cool aud reserved, for it is not likely that very great themes will exercise me in the beginning. I shall nourish my imagination by repressing if. If the time ever comes when a gcod blow will tell, I shall strike high aud await the result.” “I think I understand yon,” she said,“for Irhave bad like thonghts.— Two dreams are often with me. Oue fra mesa scene of merely domestic hap pi ness but uo culture, little of the high- ir life. The other is. blurred and in distinct: ■ I only know that it is limned with glory. The thought of it some times bnrns me as a burning speech.— Wheu wandering in its weird w n bugs, I feei that- human hearts are at my sway. The hush aud inter-gleam of beautiful pictures almost make; me breathless. Yet when I think of my circumstances; my claims of society and sex, I despair.of ever doing anything.— Then the other Views come back a ref uge.” She spoke hurriedly, carried away by strong emotion, and at the close was almost ashamed of what she had said. Pemberton was strangely moved, more perhaps by the earnest manner than the words themselves. “Why need you despair?” he asked. "You hav» wealth aud its consequent leisure. Lessen the cirole of jour ac quaintances, as yon cun do easily aud hands as if to.shut one an unwelcome picture. At the lass words she took them away.and smiling, said:. “You have spoken the truth, which cannot- be rude. Yon have spoken as only a friend could- speak. I have often thoughtT was too much of a drifting wave. I-shall be brave again, for your me incalculably disastrous policy of Presi dent Hayes, and the practical, disfran chisement of the entire colored popula tion at the South, by shameless fraud, brutal intimidation and remoiseless slaughter. Still I am not sanguine as to a Republican triumph at the next Presidential struggle, seeiug that with a well assured “Solid South” for the opinion shields me from ridicule. I» Democratic nominees, less than fifty shall ent loose shortly from the shams j votes will bo needed from all the North of society. Rut I shall need bold words to carry him into the White House. and help from yon,” with a smile. “Tou shall certainly have it,” was the quick answer. He felt as he had neier felt, He might be not unreason ably compared to a ship which, though it had had smooth sailing heretofore, was now caught in a sudden storui, and bade fair to be overwhelmed. He even began to fear himself and the wild ex citement that p assessed him. The rest of the time passed an unsettled faint reality. He could not remember i;„ de tails; lie only knew that in parting he kissed something, her hand, perhaps; yet second thoughts suggested it may have-been lver. lips. He had now in his possession an idoal, and a charming oue it was of a truth. Ethel McHenry had her faults indeed, but they were such as started ideas of perfection, and wero thus preferable to perfection; just as the pursuit of-tru-.ii is ull-iini-ortant, aud truth attained is bnt the starting point . f a fresh race. That she was the germ of a delirious iiL-al is not- strange, wheu we-observe howl much easier it is to idealize brightness and genius than ii is to [int cold intellect through the same process. ..(to. be continued.) o-oo A Mekuy Heaut. — I’d rather bo poor ami merry, thau inherit the wealth ol the Indies with a discontented spirit. — A merry heart, cheerful spirit, from which laughter wells up as naturally as bubble t-L-e springs of Saratoga, uro worth all the money bags, stocks and mortgages of the city. The man wh-> laughs is doctor, with a diploma en dorsed by the school of nature; his face Joes more good iu a sick room than a pound of powders or a gallon of bitter draughts. It things go wrong he laughs because it is better and cheaper than crying. People are always glad to soe him, their hands instinctively go out half way to meet his grasp, while they turn involuntarily from the clammy tonch of the dyspeptic, who speaks on the groaning key. He laughs you put of your faults, white y ou never dream of being offended wiih lnm; it seems as if sunshine came into the room with him, and you never know what pleas ant world you are living in until lie points out the sunny streaks on it3 path way. Who cau help loving the whoie- soiiled, genial laugher? Till cause of ere’ai iho i has ra-i.lt! consul, ruble process in Europe do. ring the past year. In Italy and 6 ■■ ir.v erlund cremation has been legalized, as also in some parts of Germany. At Milan there were six ee i b m! -s burn ediu 1877, au 1 iw-.-ury s-v -o d u-nig the past year. In. the G »rini cremato ry which is said to be the best, ererni- tion occupies only about- two hour.-, and costs only about seventy fi.-e cents. The German Protestant clergy enter tain up obji-c’ioa to ereimitidn, anil u.-ive provided a speo.u! rThti fir Shell occasions. A crein i.ioa soo.oiy. h..s been formed iu Eigiand, which is said to be strong both in nnmbsrs.an’d tufl t- ence, and Prof, G .riui i , n >>v t.i L .a dqu "seperiutending the erection of, a oremat- r r on a suburban site purchased by the society.” There was only oue case of.cremation iu thi: cnn:ry dur ing 1S78. that of .Urs. Ren P.ianin whose bo-.ly was ertmatted in Penn sylvania iu the earlier part of the year. The only feasible way to prevent such a catastrophe—and this is deman ded by every consideration of'truth jus tice and right—is for thor Republican party, its organs and leaders to meet this issue in. the uncompromising and inflexible spirit. There are nothing which strikes such terror or causes such foaming at the month in the minds of the armed conspirators at the South, or elecits such responsive bowlings from their sol-vile minions at the North, as “waving tiia bloody shirt”—a term of their own devising in order to make a jest of the most sanguinary outrages, but which comprehensively symbolizes a ioug extended “reign of terror,” da ring which thousands of'innocent vic tims Uuva been murdered with impuni ty for daring to assert their political rights as free American citizens. Yes, let “the bloody shirt” continue to be waved until au end ho put to the shed ding of blood by t-iiu organized assas sins who are bodly and successfully set ting the Federal Government at defi ance, and trampling the Constitution and laws of the country under their feet. Let it be shown by “confirma- riuti strong-as proofs from Holy Writ” that the South (using tl$it designation as of old) is still full of the habitations of cruelty; tlint-’lier hands are sUined with her garments smeared with blood; that her feet run to-evil, aud their iff uo judgement iu her-goings; that she is as disloyal in spirit as site was when she fired her first shot at Fort Sumter; that she only lacks the power to re-en- slavc the millions who have been eunau cipateil on her soil, in order to save the Union and baffle her treasonable de signs; that in uothiug does she sd much glory as in her attempt to de stroy the repnbho. ’ - and in the s iccesses of iter Confederate lead ers on the battlefield; that she lias re pented «f nothing, aud is ashamed of nothing that she has done, but exactly the reverse; that she despises the North (laubarism sneeriug at civilization) as she always has done, and conuts as •‘mudsills” the Northern working class es, while endeavoring to nse them for her her own evil ends; that she is gloat ing over (he prospect of soon having -.he reins of government over the whole country in her own hands; that as for her leading men in Clinrch and State, in Congress and out of it, “the best of them are sharper than a thorn hedge,” :-iid Mi** m>>sf I reasonable for the num- uci-:.'-s i<rr.j-:i ies thlft have been per petrated upon he Southern loyal popn- laiion, white ami black; and that noth ing bat perfect unity of. spirit and ac-' ;inn at the Norih, ' to the exront, at- I ;ls:, or outvoting “the solid South” at the approaching Presidential Selection, can avert the most disastrous couse qaences to the country! “The bloody .shirt!’’ Li li'jo signo vinces!- ^ r-!~ : = Ooa COLOEED MESIBEB3 of the Leg- isl.'.-tciie — The Christian Index says: T tier a are i&jjj men of color in the pres eut Legislature of Georgia.

Taylor, congressman-elect of a Tennesse district, not only won his election, bnt also a bride. The fair creature whom he wooed before he won liis caucus registered an oath that un less he carried the election she wonld none of him. It was a discouraging outlook, for Taylor was nominated by the Democrats in a district f nruishing usnallv a Republican majority of 2,500. He was a mere boy, while his opponent was a skilled politic in who had carpet- bagged into the country. Besides Tay lor had but §5 for a campaign fund— $5 and a fiddle. The puiliug of the latter.string contributed largely to liis election. His opponent was not popu lar, and Tayior, whom he characterized as a “beardless boy that fiddles,” won some Republican support. His cause was taken up with so much warmth that he was not under the necessity of drawing upon his slender pile. He talked and fiddled his way througn the district, the voilin figuring as on acci dent of the strife because of the oppo nent’s gratuitous sneer at the musical accomplishments of the young man. In opening h>s campaign Taylor ap proached the speaker’s table with a vi olin iu . m one hand and the carpet-bag iu the other, saying that the serious charge had been made against him that ha was a fiildier. Laying the fiddle and carpet-bag side by side asked tho audi ence to choose. The boys took the mu sic, the opposition mujorur w*s over- oouitf, * victory of fifteen hundred was achieved for Taylor, and as soon as he received his owruficato he secured his bride, a tteice of Gor.

A Beautiful House Plant.— The calla lily, roots of which may be proenred of any florist, is one of oar finest plants for bouse growing when properly treated. The best method we have tried is to procare an earthen jar —suitably decorated ou tlie ontside as desired by painting or pasting on of frieze or a flower picture, or by a pa per open work covering. In this place rich mold some five or six inches deep, and in this set the calla. Now put on the top of this mold a laj’er of clean coarse sand about two inches deep, and on the top of this some pebbles. I hen fill the j .r with water and replace as evaporated, so as to have tLe water sev eral inches deep above the pebbles. Place in a- warm and sunny window, and the plant will th ow up lagre luxu riant leaves to be followed by ihe mag nificent bloom. What is still better tho flower stalks will be sent off in a succession so as to afford a nearly con tinuous series of fijvvers. A few miu- nows introduced into the water will thrive without farther care, and afford a pleasing study. A hill passed the Illinois Legislature iu April, 1873. making women eligible to all the school offices in the state. At the next election, November, 1873, ten h dies were elected conuty superinten dents. These all served their fonr years term, anil m tuy of them wore ic- j elected in 1S77. -i We saw Dr. Pate on Tuesday night, and learned that he had left Mr. Clew is at noon, aud reported him oat of im mediate danger. The reports that another white man and a colored man had been killed in Dooly on tho day of the election were without foundation. There was a little practice at Eureka, but nobody was hurc'there. —Haickinsville Dispulch. A new flower of gigantic propations has been found in’ the forests of Suma tra.

He dispatched six boxes of tho bulb roots to Italy, but a peculiar misfortune has befallen them.

A GREAT PIGEON ROOST. Such a sceno as is presented at tho great wild pigeon roost in the ludiau Tenitory, some fifty Miles southwest of this city, is very uncommon and has no equal anywhere in America. The ‘roost includes a space of about forty .iiores in the timber, and when they return to the roost, in,the evening the trees are perfectly black with them. The Indiana will not allow other parties to take advantage of the game but hire mon who sit at roosts of trees aud shoot aril throw clubs at night, aud the next momiug the ground is literally covered with pigeons, aud they are gathered up loaded into wagons and hauled to to this city, whenytiie Indians realized from 10 to 25 cents per dozen for them.
