‘‘ Protii!'se me, CharlLs:”
She was leaning playfully over the
back ol his chair, looking down into his
face. By “she” I mean Mrs. Gale and
“Charlie” was her husbaud. He had
settled himself for a quiet after dinner
cigar. But Mrs. Gale has mischievous
ly snatched it from his hand, threaten
ing to withhold it till he gave her O'e
desired promise And now she had laid
one band caressingly on his forehead,
and stealing the other under his chin
she looked archly yet half earnestly down
into the dark deep of his eyes, as she
repeated : “ Promise me, Charlie. Now
do, that’s a dear !”
“ Nonsense, Virginia,” and he 1 1 i and
to put her hand away.
“Oh. Charlie,’’ reproachfully.
“ Pshaw, do let me go. You’ll chok
me, ’ be said half impatiently.
“ And so [ will,” she cried, “ if you
do not promise me, this very minute not
to drink a ything stronger than pure
cold water at Uncle Logan’s party to
night.”
“ Tea, yes, yes ! There, now, I hope
Pve promised often enough to satisfy
you.”
“ On your honor.”
“ Certainly.”
“Oh. sir, 1 thought I could bring you
to terms. Recollect you have said on
your honor.” •
And then, while her face grow ear
nest in its pleasing expression, she add
ed : “Oh, Charlie you do no' km vv
how anxious 1 have felt about th ; s par
ty ever since we decided to go. They
always have such a gay time at Uncle
Logan’s. And you know, dear, that
you would not do a wrong tiling your
self, how easy it is for your couipani ms
:o make you go too far, because you are
a dear, void atured. fellow. But now
that you have promised me I feel quite
easy. And, dear, don’t forget when the
young men begin to get too gay, come
up stairs to me and baby.”
And he promised
Going out to an evening party at Un,
ele Logan’s was no small affair, consid
ering that it was a good five mile ri ! e
from Glendale, out into the country over
roads with Maple river—swolen by re„
cent rains—to be crossed. For this was
in a remote and secluded part distant
from at:y railroad, and with no town
near where a vehicle might be obtained
Beside, \ irginia Gate was a first-rate
horseman, and feared nothing on her
account. That she was rhus rather rash
and foolhardy, will appear from the fact
that she had resolved to encumber bet
self with a burden, though of a very
interesting kind
Lights were glimmering from the
windows as they rode up to Uncle Ln*
gan’s gate ; and the number of horses
and vehicles already congregated around
it showed that the invited guests of the
Christinas eve party were already be*
.inning to drop m. Aunt Lizzie came
out to the door to meet them, and took
the sleeping babe from Virgie’s poor
tired arms.
“ Retnembej, Charlie,” she said ini
ploring'y laying her hand upon bis
.'.boulder as they were on the point of
separating—she for Aunt Lizzie's com>
fortable room above stairs—he fur the
society of his boon companions.
“Never fear uie!” x\nd be went gai
ly away.
Alas ! for the promise made to the
fond credulous wife, sitting up stairs in
the quiet matronly circle, with her babe
on her knee. Iu less than half an hour
Charles Gale had forgotten his promise,
wife, child everything; and again and
again his glass was filled, arid his voice
raised in riotous chorus with the
Rudest.
diu: night waned, the guests began to
disperse A irgie sat in the dressing
oom all ready for the tide, holding in
her lap what seemed to be a large b n
die of shawls, but which was in reality
little Charlie, who lay curled up -n hi.-,
warm rioH fast asleep with one little fat
thumb in his mouth.
‘ l I wonder what makes Charlie so
late,” she said at last impatiently.
“Aunt Lizzie will you p'ease send fur
him, and say I’m waiting?”
He came at length. But the first
wrd he spoke told lu r all. She knew
at once he was iutoxicated, though to
others only a very slight excitement was
all chat appeared unusual about him.
Oh! the shame! She hardly dared
speab to him. A'l her thoughts'was to
get him away before be betrayed bis
condition to other eyes
“ Give me the child,” he said.
And as she did so, she * ,in t his
arm wa> unsteady.
1 Oh ! I dire not trust the baby with
i him,” was lmr thought but she was si
lent.
She could not hear that th s? around
her should know die mortifying truth.
“ I do wish yon would stay all night
Virgie,” spoke Aunt Lizzie, renewing
her entreaties. “It is so late and it is
growing colder.”
N’irgie thought of the dreary five
mile ride with a drunken husban \—and
then the liver ! She had bef-re re*
fused to stay but now she thought bet
ter of it
“ VYhat do you think of it, Charles?
Hadn’t we better stay?’ she asked per
suasively.
But liquor had made him sullen.
“ No, we must go home,” he sai-I sur
liljG
She knew it would avail nothing to
argue the matter with him, tut only
lead to a painful exposure, so she cooi
menoed paying her adieux.
"Trath Conquers All Things,”
By dint of gentle coaxing she in iue. and
him to give the babe to her before diey
-tarted.
As they rode aw\y. Uncle Logan
shouted out to them :
“ Look out for the river !”
\ irgie’s heart was too heavy for a re
ply ; but Charles shouted back with
maudling cheerfulness:
“ All Night I”
As Hicy rode qn she saw that he was
sinking in a drunken stupor. Oh, if
they were only safe at hOtne how glad
she would be. And then she thought of
the river to be fi rded ; and eve: y breath
was a prayer. She determined not to
let him have the child when they came
to the crossing, but to trust to her arm
and courage to carry herself and babe
through She hoped he would not think
to ask her for the child, and was nerv
ing hersolf f r a refusal in case he
should when they came in sight of the
water.
The moon shone down making it al
tn st as bright as day. A irgie thanked
Heaven for that! But she shuddered as
r he sweep of the water fell on her ear ;
and she saw it foaming white in the
moonlight, as it swept on in a strong
current
Charlie rouse himself.
“ Where's the boy ; ’ he asked
“Never mind, dear, he’s asleep and I
don’t like to distuib him. I can carry
him over. I’m strong enough for it.”
“ What is :he woman talking of?—
You carry him over indeed ! Give him
to tne.”
‘ But Charles you are not in a con
dition to hold him. I shall be thankful
it you can guide your horse over safely
as you are.”
“Ha! What do you mean by
that?”
She made him no answer.
“Do you take me for a fool ?” he said
roughly ana angrily.
“Now Charles don’t do so ! You know
your arm is yery unsteady just now. It
is indeed !”
“Ah, l understand you now. So
madam. 1 suppose y u think I am
ruuk ? ’
Again she was silent.
"diic me the child !” he said fierce
‘y-
“Oh, Charles ! For God’s sake”
“Give him to me do you iitin k to
to brave me so? Give him here this
minute.”
Resistance, she knew, was useless. It
would only s ive to mi’uri.ite him.
and wiia* will not a drunken man do?
Uncovering the little sleeping face
she kiss.d it once —then drawing the
thick shall which enveloped the lit
tle figure, she covered the lace again
and gave it into her husband’s arms.
“Goalies, for the sake ol Heaven be
caretui.”
“Dun t be a tool.”
So tln-y plunged in, and she did not
take her eyes lioui tlie other two until
ii,.d neatiy reached ~ic ojpjsite
hank. 1 hen the hoist stepped on a
-tone, and near!) participated her into
the water. When her attention was
again iroo they had reached the oppos.te
bank.
“ There he is !” said Charlie, tri
umphaoiiy, as he placed the bundle in
her arms. W hat a simpleton yon were
to think i cou;d not or.ng him ovei

pressed it closer and tuen utterded an
awful shriek.
“My child! My 1 ittle chili! My
Cn iriie ! Oh, uiy child !”
Both turned simultaneously back to
the water. The quick eye of the moth
er was just in time to catch one last
bright glimpse of a lilt e rosy, pitiful
upturned lace—and then it disappeared
down t..„ valient, ,md the water
flowed on.

TIIE POST-WICE.
We kept the posGuffice at the fair
You know what that is. Deop'e come
aed a?-k for letters, and of course we di
rect any envelop? that happens to turn
up, and hand it out, and they pay post
age. We had ill sorts of things at the
fair— fFh'poi is and grab-bags It was
# u ean to put so many tracts in those, I
do say \ and as I tifid you we kept the
oust office, and 1 doii t kn \y hew it came
into my head to write*!wo Biters jus
alike : “Meet me at the oak tree if you
have mu forgotten the past,” and put
them into pink envelopes) but we wrote
trash of aP kinds
The oak tree was just outside the
nmii where we held the lair, in the big
room of the academy : and here was a
nice bench there,so it struck tjte to write
the noted.
•■Give one !o- a lady and one to a gen
tleman.” said I. And Ann Lur.n, who
delivered the letters, laughed merrily.
‘“Whoever gets them will be sure to
go to the tree,” she said, and al uosf as
she spoke, up came I)r. Steelwaggon, the
ol bachelor in Bluehill, and putting
his head in at the window he said sk-w
--h:
“Yuuny hklTcs—are there any letters
for me.”
‘•Yes, sir ; one for Dr S'eelwaggon,”
cried Ann. tossing me a pink envelope,
and I addressed it
He paid a liberal postage —we was
sure to do that— and away he went
“Watch him for hall" and hour and
you will see him go to the oak,” said
Ann. And su e enough in less than
that we saw hi in make brs way out of
the hall and sit down under the tree in
the moonlight.
“ Men never lose their venity,” said
Ann.
“Do women ? Let us discover,” said
I And I saw old Miss Barnet coming
toward the office, and I directed fhe oth
er pink envelope to her.
In a moment up she came smilling—
a pretty old lady it) black silk, with the
nicest little ruffles of real lace at her
nock
• Have you letters for me, my d.ar ?
she sai 1.
‘One. Mi s. Barnett,” said Ann.
She handed out the pink envelope as
she spoke
“If I were a young lady I should think
this was a love letter 1” she said as she
walked away.
‘ Will Gie go to the oak ?” I asked.
“We shall soon see,” said Ann.
And though she did not go soon, it
was not long befor ■ we saw her gliding
• ■ut of the hall and walk’ng very slow,
ly toward the botch where Dr. Steel*
waggon sat.
lie arose, as she came near he bow
el She courtesied. They sat down to
gether
After awhile they arose and walked
away arm irs arm.
‘Didn’t I tell you said Ann.
“Of course when they met they had a
chat,” said I. “They are two old neigh
bors 1
But Ann would j kc a~d say all sorts
of thi tigs of course.
Well, ve were bnsy with the fair,
and lorgot all about that little incident
soon and when tip fair was over there
was still a good deal to do, until one day
we all went to the ministers house to
count up what we had made and talk
things over when, as we were counting
the gains of the postvffiee, the ministers
wile cried out.
“Oh girls we are to have a wedding
here to night, and the postoffice brougt
it about. Miss Barnet is to marry Dr.
Steelwaggon and all because of two let
tersthat they got at your office.
You see kr.g ago when she was a
pretty young lady and he a handsome
young man, the two were engaged, and
loved each other dearly But they quar
rolled somehow as lovers do, now and then
and separated. From that day to this
they have never spoken toevh oilier
But neither of them as you know, has
ever uiaiied and lately Miss Barnet told
me she had begun to think that (he
doctor must have loved her more than
she thought, eke he would have had a
wife Men can always arry it' they
please, you know. And then she knew
very well there had never been any on : to
her like the doctor. She thought as she
walked about the fair how happy the
old couple looked arm in arm. and per
haps he thought so too. Indeed he lias
told her so since. And when she walked
up to the office she thinking how hand
some he was yet ; and when she opened her
letter and read : Meet uie at the old oak
tree if you have not forgotten the past,
it g ive quite a nervous feeding, and afto
awhile she walked slowly along to the
door and looked out. The moon shone
brightly over the lawn, and there under
the k in the middle sat the doctor
himself. Had he written her the let
ter-/ She walked on-toward the tree, not
meaning to seem to see him unlc.-s lie
spoke ; but he did speak. IT: arose and
bowed.
“Miss Barnet,” he said, ‘“1 hope I see
you well.
And she said :
“Thank you quite well, Dr. Stcelwag®
T >
gor>.
And that was the first words they h id
spoken since thirty years ago.
She said to him :
““It is perfectly certain that we have
made a great mistake tniukingwe liked
eaeh other, Dr. Steelwaggon.’ ’
“‘And be had said.
‘“ I never contradict a lady Mbs Bar
net.”’
“Then she was twenty and he twenty
five. . toy were old jirnpU now, but
when she shook hands with him under
the oak, she felt herself trend in.
We are both alone,” said he. “Let
us keep each other company.”

which he had arisen and sat and wn beside
her.
"Aft- r that, the fir-t questi .n he a.-k

“jD-jople would laugh at us so said
she.
“'We will laugh too,” said he Come
Ilosa, say ‘Yes.’ ”
NY hen he call >d her Rosa it suddenly
struck her h->w long it was sinco she
had been called by her Christian name
and she begin to cry. Then he g**r
her his arm and they walked away into
the shadow, and they are 'o bo married
this evening, and the post office and

And they wore married and nobody
laughed but a few sillies, and whojmind
ed them.

Have you had any experience in the
business?” we asked of a verdant-look
ing youth who applied fur an editorial
position the other day.
“ HaveuT I, though ?” he replied’ as
he shoved one foot under his chair to
hide the unskillful patching >f a buck
wo (Is cobbler. “ ! should say I’d had
some experience—haven’t I correspond

The Latest Treason.
The Union is threatened. Secret and
subtle enemies are at work to destroy it.
The vnr of secession was an open and
and declared movement against if.
movement supported bv great resource*,
determined valor, and genir* ol he
highest order. 'J he result dc mnnstra
fed the utter helplessness of the at
tempt; bat the fa 1 of the Confederacy
did not secure the 'perpetuity of the
Fedor 1 compact. The Union to-day is
men ced by its professed friends, and
dying from til* blows of its avovred
champions.
Americans have not yet forgotten the
great pr neiplc enunciated bv Webster
in the peroration of that famous speech
which he delivered in rt j ly to llayne :
•■Liberty and l ni< . tie uud. jnsi par
able.”
It would he impossible to express the
conditions of Federal piusperity in ii’W
er words. They mean net only that
without union there can be no 1 berty,
Lut also that without li erty there cau
be no union. The term union compre*
bends the confederation of equals, it >t
snch a commingling atui colsolul;u*on ot
parts as destroys their several identi
ties. In a word, the policy ot central
ization, ifpefservered iu, will prove fa
to that system of government which sc
cession left intact. Let th3 prestH
policy of the administration at NVash
ngton be adhered to, let the central
'power strip'sovcriegn States oft heir sn
fumy in the interest of a party, let local
elections be placed under the control at
Federal influences, and before aunt tier
Presidential ttrni shall have elapsed the
magnificent scheme of the fathers of
lie constitution will have proved a hope
less failure. Centralization ! It is the
crime Republicans are laboring to coin -
uiit. The secessionalists strove to sep
arate the States ; the Republicans are
-tiiving to destroy them Jefferson
Davis with all his armies at his back,
was nevci so formidable an enemy to the
Union as are General Grant and the ad
ministration c'ique, with that host ot
officeholders, whose silent and baneful
influence i* slowly sapping the foun
dations of free institutions in every sec
tion of the country It would he a ta„
tal mistake to suppose that this intim
ence has as yet only extended to a few
Southern States. It has undermined
the whole Union. The case is one of
those in" which the ratient’s uncon .
sciousnes* of his peril is his worst
sym} toms. YY herever a postmaster, a
custom house officer, a United Stat s
Marshal has been stationed because ot
his partisan devotion, there the seeds of
central despotism have already betrati to
germinate. In Louisiana a United
Stales Marshal assists in reversing the
result of an election ; in Missouri a lot
of revenue officers enter into a conspi
racy to defraud the public Treat ary and
to raise a cam] sign fund. In both
States the central power has been at -
tempting to strengthen itself at the ex
pense of the public honor and liberty.

The Mature Siaatar aail
I’reily Ycung Wife.
To the sketch ot Christiancy should
have been added one of his wife, the
pretty Treasury cl< rk. I called to see
her with some friends on her r ception
day. YY’e found her in one of the oldest
houses in one of the oldest streets, 310
Indian avenue, N. YV. YVe told
that Mrs. Christiancy was at home, and
we w T cre ushered into a dingy little par
-1 >t on the first floor, where we were
kindly received by au old gentleman
who ptesented us in these words: “My
wife, Mrs. Cliristiancy.
Shi is a pretty lit'le dot of a woman,
and, upon my honor, loosed as pleased
as he did. N\ it Lai, it was iuqossible
to realize she was h s wife. He must
be half a century her senior, and aL
though a spry old m m, would be taken
for no riea-er relative than grandfather.
She is not t out of her feens, is petite,
but not slightly built, being as dimpled
and plump as a baby Her hair is au
burn, and worn in a simple bra’d hang
ing down,her back, added to her youths
fill appearance. She was dressed in n
plain brown silk gown, cut very high
in the neck, and with lung sleeves.—
She is exceedingly fair, and the throat
and chin were nestled in the soft f, Ids
of the rich, creamy lace now so mu<-h
worn. A 1 aI! of the same kind of laco
concealed the short, fat hands, upon
which w’ere two plain gold rings.
The mod .st dress did not cone 'a! the
outline of a well-rounded arm and su
perb bust, and the question in my mind
was how long it would be before she
would appear in society in the scanty
costume which heie pievails to tne en
vy of women and the admiration of
men. F t the old man’* darling has a
beautiful fieure and face, and her eom
plexien is perfect It is pure and fresh
in contrast with daik eyes and hair.—
Buch clear brown eyes I have not seen
in many a day, and they have an ap
pealing expression which one cannot ro
si-t A dimple in l lie left cheek and
an 4her ill tin- chin ccusph ie the ch.-.rm
of the face, dhcmiuth is pretty when
closed It will be to view when
care shall have gi en length to the u ! >_
per lip. Thtsi cruel to say. but m too
natareof causes and effect :hcr* is uuu /
a heartache for her.
In conversation she is agree; bl
