A TERRIBLE REVENGE.
London Society.
It was on the eve of the battle of Sol
ferino. The French regiments, whicn
had arrived from Milan during the day,
by long and dusty roads, under a broiling
sun, exhausted by latigue.were encamped
ou an immense plain, shui in by a chain
of hills, on which towered the white
houses of the town. Lightning, playing
among the leaden-colored clouds, illu
mined at intervals with lurid light the
battle-field of the morrow. Nothing lit up
the l camp. No fires were allowed, as
a measure of prudence.
All were not asleep, however. Besides
the outposts and pickets, many in camp
were wide awake. Here and there groups
of men, lying on the grass around their
tents, conversed in a low tone and dis
cussed the probabie issue of the coming
battle.
In the middle of a small group of of
ficers, who talked over the chances of the
morrow, was Coi. Eugene de Valmont,
who commanded a regiment of light
dragouus. He had the well-earned re
putation of being one of the most splen
did officers in his own branch ol the ser
vice. Although a strict disciplinarian, he
was beloved in the regiment by officers
and men alike, and deservedly so.
Col. de Valin iut appeared to pay little
attention to what was said. He seemed
in a profound reverie, as he bit, rather
than smoked, a half-consumed cigar.
f l urning suddenly to his surgeon major,
a veteran with a well-bronzed face, lie
said;
“Brisac, do you believe in presenti
ments?”
“It depends, colonel. Oue may have
them, no doubt; but to admit that they
are ever realized is another matter.”
“You look upon them as valueless, de
voiu of any prophetic importance?”
“Quite bo.
“Ah! It it true, as is said, that all you
doctors are more or less materialists.’
After a pause, he added: “You are right,
perhaps, and so much the belter. There
are some thoughts which should be bameh
ed on the eve ol a day like what to-morrow
promises to be. ,J
So saying he got up and added; “1 shall
turn in and get some rest and advise you
all to do the same. In a lew hours we
•hall need all the strength we can com
mand.’’
One by one the group broke off and
presently there was left only three offi
cers—the major, a captain and a sub-lieu*
tenant.
“Wtiat did the colonel mean by presenti
ments’” asked the younger ol them. “We
know he has no lear about to-morrow, ye:
his manner and his last word*, to say the
least, are not reassuring ’
“Had you been longer in The regiment,
young «ellow,’ replied the major, “you
would know that the colonel periodically
gets the ‘blues;* but we take no notice ol
them. They soon pass, and he becomes
himself again. ’
“But what is the cause of his recurring
depression? * 4
“The cause?” said the captain, “why all
the regiment know the cause.”
1 Except myself. 1 only joined three
months ago.”
“Well, here is Brisac back from his
rounds. H<* can tell the story best.”
The surgeon-major being appealed to,
lay down upon itie grass, lit a cigar, and
said:
“In 1834, De Valmont,appointed lieuten
ant in tne Chasseurs d Atricue, which had
just been raised, landed tn Algiers, where 1
was assistant surgeon attached to the mili
tary hospital. Though l wa* older than
ue, we soon struck up an acquaintance that
ripened into friendship, which time has not
impaired. Eugene was young, good-look
ing, and a man oi fascinating.manners. He
came of a distinguished family, and his
friends kept his purse well filled; in short,
he could get money as last as he wished to
spend it.
“We served three year? together,when de
Valmont got leave to exchange and re
turn to France His mother was the cause
of this, for she bad in view for him a mar
riage with a rich heiress. Leaving Algiers
would nave been all plain sailing except for
bidding farewell' to a certain lady called
La Severina, a danseuse at ihe theatre. In
appearance she was decidely handsome, of
an olive-colored complexion and with rav
en black hair. In her iaige, expressive eyes
and in her firmly-cut mouth there was a
significant indication of determination
which suggested that the young iady would
be more desirable as a friend than as an
enemy. She said she was Italian, having
been born at Rome; but her parents were
Bohemians, wno traveled through all coun
tries —rope-danceis by profession
“La beverina had conceived for Eugene
a passion as violent as it was hopeless
When she heard ol his proposed departure
she was wild; when she learned the motive
of it she turned a demon. Failing in a de*
termi ed attempt to baulk his plans by
stabbing him with a stiletto, she assured
him with her last words that she would be
revenged. De Valmont laughed at the
threat. I, however, determined to keep
an eye on the actions of the young lady.
In this resolve, however, I was foiled, Bhe
left Algiers about a montn alter, and 1
never knew what became ol her.
“Nearly lour years had passed since Eu
gene’s return. We kept up a constant cor
respondence, and 1 learned of his marriage
ana the birth ol one son, whom he called
Lucien. He continually pressed me to ex
change and go back to France.
“ -At length 1 got appointed to a cavalry
regiment quartered in Paris, anti left Al
giers to take on my new duties. Landing
at Marseilles, 1 put up at the Hotel Castel
lane. w here tne first names I read in the list
ot arrivals were those ol the Count and
Countess de Valmont, We met with -joy
alter our long separation, Eugene intro,
duced me to his wile—a lady as lovely as
Bhe was charming—and showed me with
pride his son—a fine chubby child, with
curly hair, and Ihe splendid blue eyes of its
mother. He simply worshiped this boy—
poor fellow!—and his life and soul seemed
wrapped up in H» being and existence.
And now, as to the sad sequel to my
tale
“ ‘De Valmont was on leave, and at his
wife’s desire they were about to visit Italy.
Not to fatigue tne child their route waa
mapped out in short stages. Tney were
resting two days at Marseilles before going
to Genoa by La Coruiche, so I decided to
stay and see them olf.
*• ‘ln the atternoon oi my arrival, as the
weather was glorious, little Lucien was
•ent with his nurse down to the sea. on that
magnificent beach where the splendid pal
ace of Prado stands, Two hours alter thia
nurse returned alone, looking like a mad
woman. The eyes were start!eg out of her
head, and, sobbing and crying, she threw
herself at the countess ieet, and said she
had lost the child. She and her charge
were playing on the tbe beach, where they
were attracted by the per lormauce of some
acrobats. A small crowd had assembled,
and the boy was not out of her sight lot
Jlmttiaj! 'P- i fJTunpg.
j half a minute. On looking round he was
I gone and she sought him in vain He seem
ed to have been spirited away. She called
his name at the top of her voice, and ran
up and down the beach until exhausted.
Bystanders who heard her cries helped
her in the search, but they found—noth
ing. ’
‘ Was Lucien drowned? ’asked tne sub—
lieutenant.
‘‘This was the question started, but it
teemed well nigh impossible. The child
could only toddle, and the sea was too far
from the place indicated by the nurse So ,
this hypothesis was given up. Ihe police
considered it a case of kidnapping,and w ent
to work, but failed to find a clew. They
searched (lor weeks through all the
slums of the city—the low quarters where
the dregs ot the population congregate, the
scum ol the Mediterranean—but with no
success. A description ol the child was
sent to every consul, with orders to make
full inquiry. De Valmont himself obtained
special leave ot absence from the War Of*
lice, and spent a year in trying to solve the
mystery. He returned more dead than
alive to bury his wile, whom grief had
killed.
“As to the colonel, at first he had serious
intentions o joining the I'rappists and re
tiring from the world. But hope sustains
him still. He believes, il his boy was not
drowned that Providence will take pity on
him and yet restore. Vain delusion! But
we humor him in his hope. He has since
devoted his whole life and soul to his regi
ment; but the wound at his heart has never
healed, an when it breaks out afresh he be
comes sad and sorrowiul and talks about
presentiment.”
“La Severina, I believe, has kept her
woid, and wreaked a terrible revenge!”
Brisac finished his story and wished all
good night.
“We have six hours for sleep, my boys
and then— ’
On the morrow, at the early hour of 6
o’clock,a double ime ol smoke extended lor
a distance ol two miles on each side of the
plain. The French had brougnt almost all
their guns into action. The Austrian bat
teries posted on the opposite hills re
plied with a well-directed gre. In this ar
tillery duel, whicn lasted for some hours
the advantage remained with the French
Tne superiority ol the Austrian position
was more than counter-balanced by the
deadly effect of ihe rifled guns of the
French, which were first employed in war
iare at the memorable battle ol Sollerino.
ihe carnage was frightful and the result
disastrous to the Austrians, who were ob
liged to retieat.
At 3 o clock on that day— June 23, 1559
the French were formed up to advance
under a withering musketry fire to assault
the Tower of Sollerino, the key of the en
emy » position. Marshal Bened-ck then
caileu on nis cavalry to make a supreme
effort, which, had it been successful, would
nave changed the fortunes ot the day. Tne
Autrian cavalry were massed behind a
irmge of wood which effectually concealed
then movements from the French. Sudden
ly they were seen to emerge Irorn their
shelter and to prepare lor a determined
charge, to ,ake in flank those battalion*
wuicn had already reached tne slopes of the
hills Gen. Niel saw the danger, and imme
diately buried against them the Marguerite
division oi cavalry, in which De Val
inoni’s Light Dragoons charged in the first
line.
The shock was terrific! The elements
contributed to swell the lrightlui storm ol
war Peals oi thunder bellowed forth and
vivid lightning played over the ghastly
sight beneatu.
It was alter the delivery of the charge
“home” that Col. De Valmont suddenly
saw rise Deloie him abour a dozen nuzzars,
in white, oi tne Archduke Albrecht’s regi
ment. Lei by a young lieteuant with fair
hair and a budding mustache, they sabred
th • French diagoons with maniacal fury,
making tneir way through them like a can
non ball. With one bound ot his horse the
lieutenant was at the colonel. De Valmont
saw his sabre flash as he raised it to cut
him down, He nad only time to pull the
trigger ol nis pistol and the Austrian fell,
killed by a bullet in thi forehead.
At the end ol the engagement Col. tie
Valmont, returning to camp, passed over
tne scene of the conflict. The body of the
lieutenant at A1 lay there on its back. A
thin trickle ot blood marked the spot of the
bullet wound, Tne lace ot the young of
ficer was as calm and placid as a child
asleep. De Valmont gazed at him with
profound emotion. A lew yards off some
dismounted men were guarding Austrian
prisoners, among whom was an officer ot
Albrecht’s Hussars Pointing to the dead
body the colonel asked:
•‘sir, can you tell me the name of that
brave fellow?”
“Karl Gottfried/’ was the answer.
One month after the peace of Villafran
ca, Edgene de Valmont returned to Paris
with the army of Italy, where he found the
lollowing letter awaiting his arrival;
Milas, 6th August, 1859.
My Dear Oid Friend: You know that I
am still at the Military Hospital here,
where I shall remain until ali our wounded
are removed. They brought ill the other
dav several marauders caught by our men
rifling the dead, and on some ol them who
tried to escape they fired Among them waa
an old woman disguised as a man. A bed
was iound lor her, as she was oil the point
ol death 1 offered my services to dress her
wound, and judge ol my amazement when I
heard her say: “You don’t remember me,
i)r. Krisac. 1 am La Severina.” Under the
withered features of the woman I lecog
nized your former acquaintance in Algiers.
By what series of nrmlortuaes she came to
be a despoller ot the dead 1 shail not at
tempt to explain. Enough to know that be
(ore dying she allowed the priest to com
municaie a part of her confession, arid, as I
have for long thought, she it was who stole
Lucien at Marse ties..
•‘Alter a host of adventures,which I shall
tell you later on, poverty compelled her to
abandon the child at Viena. She left it to
the charity of the laudlord where
she lodged—No. 20 Rosenstrasse
—and never heard of the boy alter, lhis
address will give you some trace. Apply
at once to the Austrian embassy. Tout a
toi. _ „
Brisac,
Mad with joy, the colonel ran to the em
bassy and explain the object of his misinon.
For a fortnight after, which seemed to him
a lifetime, he lived in a fever of suspense,
and was going to bed one night when his
valet brought him an official letter, with a
large red seal bearing the Austro-Hunga
rian arms. He read as follows;
“Monsieur Ie Comte,l am instructed by;
the Minister of Foreign Affairs to inform
you, in answer to your inquiries, that the
child abandoned in Vienna, a„ the ad
dress given ou the 20th September, 1846,
was adopted by a benevolent gentleman
He was educated at the Military School o!
Olmutz, which he lelt last year with the
rank oi sub lieutenant. Pouted to S A 4
the Archduke Albrecht's regiment of Hus
sars he was killed at the battle of Solftrino .
He bore the name of his adopted father,
Karl Gottlried. ’ *
One hrur aiterward tire valet entered thi;
colonel s room and found him sitting in hit
chair. His face was dtatily while. His
1 eyes, dilated and immovable, were fixed,
upon the fatal letter.
The servant touched him lightly on the
shoulder, and his master dropped motion
less on the floor.
He was Aead.

REVEALING METHODS AND MEASURES OF
CORKUPTI N PRACTICED BY MEN WHO
ARE TRUSTED—THE LESSON DRAWN
FROM A DOUBLE TEXT. ‘ THEIR RIGHT
HAND IS FULL OF BRIBES ’ WOE TO
THEE O, LAND WHEN THY KING IS A
CHILD AND THY PRINCES EAT IN THE
MORNING.’
Before the sermon, Dr. Ta image
rend tne story of Abithopbel ind his
political stratagems. The subject of
the sermon was “Big Sinners in Bis
Places,” and the text was a double
oDe, the first, part being from Psalm
xxvi.,lo: “Their right Land is full
of bribes,” and the last part from Ee
cteslastg, x , 16: “Woe to thee, O
land, when thy Kins ie a child and
thy princes eat in the ui rniug.”
THE MORALS OF A NATION,
said Dr. Tannage, hardly ever rise
higher thau the virtue of the rulers.
Unary VIII. makes impurity nation

marsh, float upwaru and awav, bu’
moral distempers descend l it.m the

disgust men with tne bestiality ot
sin; but dissolute French court and
corrupt Congressional delegation put
a premium upon crime. The most of
the vices ui the world are kingly ex

tereu rones to be entertained by the
humble and insignificant.

Micab and Habaksak. Ido not be
lieve that our legislative and political
ooujciis areas corrup 13 they were

Taere has been a tendency no con
trast the past with the present to the
advantage of the former, and I
suppose that sixty years from now
political writers will makeaugels out
of ue, althougu the material now
s -ema so very unpromising. But the
crimes iu high places in olden times
are no apology tor the crimes in
modern times, and I shall now unroll
bofor * vou a scroll of public wicked

tne minister of the Gospel and the
philaotbrophist should spea.k out,,
this is the time. King David must
feel the rebuke of N tthan ;Feitx must

will we answer in the day waea men
who havs stood in high places of th
aatth, warring against God, shall fall

John Milton h'S it:
"Hurled headlong, flaming from the ethereal

I unroll the scroll of political
wickedness still further, and I see
the crime of bribery.
IT IS NO LIGHT TEMPTATION.
The mightiest nave fallen under it.
Sir Francis Bacon, Lord Chancellor,
of England, founder of our modern
phuosophy, author or ‘‘Novum Or
gauum” aud a wm ie library of books
the leadiug thinker of his century, so
precocious that when a little child he
was asked by Queen Elizabetu, “How
old are you?” ue responded, "I am
two years younger th i your Majes
ty’s happy reign,” of whose oratory
Ben. Jonson wrote, “The fear of
every man that heard him lest he
should make an end,” having an in
coma which you would suppose would
have put him beyond the temptation
oi bribery—s36,ooo a year and Twick
enham Coua a gut, and princely es
tates iu Hertfordshire and Gorham
bury, yot, under this temptation to
bribery, failing fla l into lulu ou his
confess! m of mkiug brib s, giving as
au excuse that all his predecessors
look tliem, he wis tiued $200,000. or
what coriesponds with ou . $200,000,
anu imprisoned in Lonhoo Tower.
So also Lord Chancellor Macclesfield
fell, so a.so Lord Chancellor W iter
bury perished. The black chapter
in English, Irish, French aud Ameri
can politics is the chapter of bribery.
Some of vou remember the Pacific
Mail subbidies. All of you remember
the awful tragedy of ihe Credit Mo
bilier. Un ler the temptation to
bribery B nedict Arnol t sold tne fort
iD tbe Highlauos for $31,575. For this

THE DEMOCRAEIC PARTY
filled its cup ot iniquity before it went
out of p w r at the beginning of tne

along, and aa it had more opportuni

cup of iuiquny in shorter tunc; there
tney are, two carcasses lying side b>
side-the Republic m party and tae
Democratic party-putrefied until
tney have no more power to rot! i'he
bribery during the war is cursing us
yet, and I fear will curse us tor a
century. Y u kuow now it was then.
“If you give mu tue contract above
ail others wuo apply for it;, I’ll give
you Hiper cent or tne pr tits. If you
will only pa s these wornout Cavalry
noises and certify tuat 'hey are fit

“Bonus” v.' .s the word, 8j i' went
down to you; s;ha id fath rs iu the
army—rice tuat was woim-eiieu,
crackers that were rnoldly, gc m nts
ihat were shoddy, meai tuat w s
rank, horses tuat siuuUiled in the
charge, tents that sifts" the rain
into tha taces of tho exhausted, But
it wis all right, for they got the bo
nus !
The argument iu bebalf of the sta
bility of republics is stronger in my
mind now than it ever was. If our
Government, had not b en Thorough
ly established, all this biibory and
theft and outrage wou.d haveswamp
ed it forever. Theauiouutof money
that has been spent in this country in
railroads that ought never to have
been constructed, iu canals that
ought never to have beeu dug, In
loans that ought m ver to nave been
allowed, in farcical schemes that
ught never t.j nave been counte
nanced, would have swamped any
three monarchies.
ill CHARGE IS TO YOU,
in all departments of life, steer dear
of bribery, all ot you. Every man
and woman at some tnxic will be
tempted to do wrong for compensa
tion. The bribe may not be offered
in money. It may bo ..fferei ia
social position. Lot ua remember that
there is a day coming when the most
secret transactions of private nfeand
of public life will couie up for public
reprehension, We can not bribe
death, we can not bribe
sickness, we can not
bubo the grave, we can not bribe ! ne
j augments of ttiai. God who thunders
in my text, ‘ Fire shall consume she.
.abamaeies of bribery.” "Fie,” said
Cardinal Beaufort —"fie, can’t death
be hired? Is mjney uothing? Mus,
I die and so rich? If the owning of
me whole realm could save me, I
could get it by policy or by purchase
—by money.” No, Death would not
be hired theu, ho will not be hired
now. Men of the world often regret
that they have to leave their money
hi re wh-n they go away from ihe
world. You oan tell irom what they
say in theic last hours thatAone ot
their chief sorrow is that they have
to leave their mouey. I break tuat
delusion. I tell the Dribe taker that
i e will 'ake his money with him.
God will wip it up In yuur shroud or
iut it mto your paiui on the diy us
Resurrection an I there it win lie, nor,
tun cnol, brß.br. shining g d'l as it
waaon'hedav when vnu add y ur
vote ,u d yuur moral minoiple, but
there it will b a hot metal burning
i and consuming ' our hand forever.
Or if th re is enough of it for a chain,
in. n it will fall rrom the wrist.clank
i iog the letters of an eternal emtivity.
The bribe ie an everlasting poeeeeeion.
i You tune i; for tune, you t .ke it tor
erernitv. San lav in the mxt world,
wuen you so long f>r sympathy, you
! will (eel ou your cheek a kiss. L iok
ing up you will find tt to be JudHs,
who took thirty pieces of silver as a
bribe, and finished the bargain by
putiing tin infamous kiss upon the
~ure cheek of his Divtue Mas er.
If I i bought ther.v were no'h.ng for
you and me to do I would not preach
ihLseimon. L’iiere are four things
for you to do. First, stand off from
ail political office unless your 'wn
principles are thoroughly settled.
Dj nut, go into the blnzieg tempt i
tioo unli-88 y>u ore fire-proof. Com
mon Council. Water Board, legisla-i
ivo nail and Congressional assem i
blags have been the di'noa'ion us
many leapeotable p -ople. Br if you
go into politic.l life without your
principles thoroughly settled, before
you ge - ibrough with it you will
swe it end lie and take bribes. “Ah,”
you say.Tthat is not complimentary.’
Weil, 1 -ifways was clumsy at
compliments,
THESEOOND THING TE DO,
is to take eouns. 1 of Pau 1 and to pray
for your ruiera; pray for all in au
thori'y. I), you know that Shad
rachaod Ab d-n. godid not ueed the
love ot God beside them in'hi fir
so much as your rulers do? We prav
even Sunday for the president ,f
the United S'ates because that is iu
the 11 urgy. But have wo been i-n
--tiieiy cleared or all responsibility for
tue national corruption from the fact
that we have nor prayed as we should
for onr representatives? When I
takt up the uuperaud see some awful
defalcation in character, I feel just
ms I did when I saw the account of
hu wreck of the Northfleet iu Eng
lish waters—the Nor hfleetrua down
by a strung steamer; tor those men
were crashed mto by temptations,
with fiery furnace and thundenug
wheel bucket, and there was no life
boat. Pray for your rulers.
Iu the next place, be faithfut at
the ballot-box Do not stand on
yuur dignity and refuse to vote be
cairt > the rabble g ... Put ou your
old clothes and elbow your way
through the u.i wished and the
wretched and the abandoned and go
to the polls. Uast your own vote.
Make up your mind in a Christ.an
way as to who are the men best for
office;then vote for the man who
luVesGcd fin! hates rum. R fuse
o vote, or vote the wrong wa>. and
you isia against the graves of the men
who died for the government You
Bin against your cnihirt n, who may
live to feel the curse of your negli
gence or your
POLITICAL DISHOSESTT.
But I have a better prescription than all.
It ia the fourth thing that I have to say in
the way ot cojnsel, and that is, evangelize
the people Gospelize this country, anil you
will have pure Representatives and pure
men everywhere. I have no faith in the
conversion ot an old politician. 1 never
knew one to be converted. I suppose the
mace of God can do it, butseldom tries it.
What work we have to do with the great
masses ol ihe people, who cast the voteß,
and with our children, who are corning up
to be the sovereigns. That woman who in
the Sabbath school class teach-ssix boys to
be Cnristians does more for onr political lu
ture than all the fine essays that ever were
written about the Constitution, or the ar
raignment of the AmericanjSenate for hold
ing 9 stock o' the Credit Mobtler. I want you
to understand there is work tor you and me
to do. Change men’s hearts, and their lives
will be right There ate goed men trying
to have the Christian religion recognized in
the Constitution ol the United Slaies. But,
my friends, you get the people co.ivered,,by
tbe grace of God, and 1 do not care about
the mere technicality ot a constitutional re
cognition What we want in this courtry ia
just four revivals, revivals that come like
those ill the days of the Nettleton, and
Jonathan Edwards, anu George Whitefield.
We want l»ur revivals all at once: One
starting from the north, rolling south; one
s ariing from the south, rolling north; one
starting from the east, rolling west, one
starting from tbe west, rolling east. And
then I want to stand on the spot where the
four seas meet that I may shout “Hallelu
jan! tor the Lord Gcd omnipotent reigneth.
Hallelujah! lor the kingdoms of this world
are becoming the kingdoms of our Lord
Je.us Christ.” But remember if there are
50,000,000 of people in this country, upon
you personally rests a 50-millionth part of
the responsibly. The least thing you can do
lor the country is to contribute toward it a
heart changed by the grace ot God and a
heart all pure. Remember that it is not as
nations we are at last to be judged, but as
individuals, each man answering for him
self in that day when monarchies anil re
publics alike shall perish, and the eatth it
self shall become a heap ol ashes scattered
in the blast of the nostrils of the Lord God
A Imivhty!
A Pretty Little Peach Orchard.
West Point correspondent, in La-
GraDgri Reporter says: "Seeing a
statement not long since that Griffin
contained tbe largest orenmd in uie
South, we asked Mr. John H. Parnell
to give us the number of trees in his
celebrated orchard. He says, iu 1872,
he planted five thousand peach trees;
four years afterwards, twenty thou
sand peach trees; during the next six
years, forty-nine thousand peaen
trees aud four hundred apple trees,
two hundred grape vines, and oue
hundred plum trees. Last vear he
planted sixty thousand peach trees
nod seven thousand plum trees.
The- ■ numbers aggregate one hun
dred and twenty one thousand Seven
hundred trees, and he states he has
ihirty-flve thousand in the uurseries
plant this year. While a good many
of his trees have died, he can safely
couut on om hundred thousand,

up their cards.
“Gad! I’d like to play this hand.”
muttered the first man.
“I could down you,” said the sec

The third wore the expression of a

as he remarked: “I’i bet everything
I could win on this,”
Me«nwhile the professor hadslinp d

“What’s yours, professor?,’
The magician turned up the win

“Beware of card sharpers, gentle
