•woman was like many another woman
throughout the length and breadth of the
country,. She bad been in refinement and

Wive as in mimosa plant.. Her mind was
not common, nor yet ut that other extreme,
that of being intellectual. It was un eten

width and depth was wide said deep enough
to take in the true issue of the tritest life.

up before her ? What a woman's heart suf

Baby Grace woke up and stretched out

and went and raised her to.her bosom: She
had given up Johnms to death, and slitl felt
she was all 'that was left her. The night
fell as it. had fallen upon her heart.

If so it fell upon him. She waffpioud, this

feel the preitrure of his kiss. lie was dead
and Grace was * fatherless. But 'Marian's
grief was silent. She rose up and took up
her burden, and thought she would live for
the sake of the little one. But it was hard

they had no food for an entire day. Even
Marian's health suffered, and the child took
a severe told that ended in the croup, and
terminated its life. Marian thought she
had suffered her full measure of lobs, but
when this lastwand only treasure was taken
away, the last tie that bound her to this,, life
Was broken, what, was country to her ? In
all length and breadth she had none to love
er, no epdC mite boundaries she coed'
call home. What was it -to her that the
country should be saved ? She was dying
of grief and, starvation.
Work became scarce and hard •to get.
Some one Was always before her. One by
one she sold all her little articles of value,
disposed ?if all those little things which had
made her rooms so pleasant when she and
John and baby were all so happy together.
Then when there was nothing left, she sank
down In a slow, nervous fever. After it was
generally known that Mrs. Elmer was desti
tute and sick, a few neighbors began to drop
in and try to do something for the unhappy
woman; but tardy conscience had failed to
remind them of their duty until It was en
tirely too late to aid her. She died, this
broken bearfed wife of the conscript:" with
John's name and thtit of her baby en her
lips. She said Bhp was going to meet them
in a country Where 'air was peace. And yet
what matters it? There ate just such head
aches and heart breaks all over the land. It
is not one woman alone who goes down to
the grave broken hearttl ; not merely one
orphan who suffers hunger and cold. Otte

paper, like a sausage in size, which they
place at the top, end one would imagine that
a stiff neck next morning must be the result
of such an unrefreshing pillow. As we are
all, however, creatures of habit, they most

intervals. A regular hair-dresser arranges
their hair in the morning ; invariably se

may bo able to amuse himself by gazing at

and elaborate. The entire top of the head,
from the forehead, is always kept shaved as
clean as the face of a beardless boy. The
rest of the hair, allowed to grow long, is
saturated with grease, to which is added a
kind of gum or paste, to make it stiff. The
locks thus bedaubed are then combed up all
around, and tied at the crown of the head,
the odds sticking together forming a tail'
piece, which is again dumbled back and tied,
plenty of gum being applied all the time to
make it pliable. When it is finished it rests

letting the negroes in," exclainieji a score of
voices, male and female. "Par 'em out,"
was roared by as many men, who looked
willing enough to perform the actthemselves.

IriE OLD MONARCHIST PARTY
The Democratic party to-day is confron
ting the same principles that threatened to
overthrow the C'onstitution in 1798. These
principles were beaten back by the genius
of Jefferson. Ile told the conspirators that
if they advanced another step with their
despotic rule, the people should "arm from
the mountains to the sea."
Alas! we' lia4 no Jefferson now. We
have not a statesman, nor a man of oluck,
of any description. We have plenty of rail
road men, bankers, brokers, contractors,
candidates of all manner of offices, but we
have no man of pluck—no great man. If
we had, Abraham Lincoln would, before
this date, have been forced back within the
limits of the Constitution, er have expiated
his crimes upon a gentiles. ThatThody of
respectable old women called "The Demo

A REMINISCENCE.
Years ago the office of the Gaietie. was ilk
Hanover square, near the corner of Pear
street. IL was a place of resort for new s
and conversation, especially in the evening
of Febuaryls,lBl6; it wascold, sadist a late
hour only. Alderman Sabra aad /inetber gen
tleman were left with Father Lang, Cho
genius of the place. The office was about
being closed, when a pilot rushed in, and
stood for arnoment so entirely exhausted as
to be unable to speak.
"He has great news," explatmed Mr
Lang.
Presentkit the pilot, gasping for breath,
whispered intelligibly—l Peace Peace !"
• The gentletben lost their breath as fast as
.a pilot gained his. Directly the pilot was
able to say.
"An English sloop is below, with news of
a treaty of pesos I" , -
They say that Mr. Lang exolahrupd in
greater words than aver he used &fore—
and all hands rushed into. Hanover square
exolaiming—"Peace!Peace
The windows flew up—for famill'es liv `d
there then. No sooner were the inmates
sure/of the sweet round of peace, than the
windbvta began to glow with brilliant illu
minations. The cry of "peace I Peace!"
spread through the city at the top of all
voices. No one stopped to inquire about
"free trade and sailor's rights." one
enquired . whether even the national honor
had been preserved. The matters by whi
the politicians had irritated the nation into
the war, had lost all their importance. It
was enough that the ruinous war was over.

TRUTH IN COURTSHIP.
De trite to your lover. I dont mean Wok
to him, but tkoetdserise him. • Let him know,
let her know, what. sort of person You really
are. Tell each other your faults ; make
known your real olttinioni; itsta your view
of married life, and what you expect to do
and do as married companions. Despise and
adjure the humbugging which is almost Uni
versal among lovers, Girls keep out of
sight all their failings, and do their best to
cease their beaus to think them angels, and
men bow, like slaves to every wish or whim '
of their lady loves, and seem to live but to
make them happy. Now this is not as it
ought to be ; it Will not be so after marriage.
The woman will grow weary of always act
ing her prettiest ; and the man will not en
dure all sorts of inoonveniencesittitl'aubmit
to all sacrifices to please the women who la
securely his own.
It is the dearest pleasure of every true
woman to obey and mike' happy the men
she loves; if he is kiriti and reasonable ;' bat
how much better it wankd be to teach Of
sweetheart the truth instead of'a falsehood
as to her future position. I won't say any
thing more to the girls, for as they have to
Wait to be wooed and won, and as they have
fewer chances than men have, there 'is more
'mouse for them to pat the host side out ;
only Let them always strive to keep it oat,
and we have no further controversy with
them. Rittman are without excuse foe hold
ing out snob pretences as they do. They
are Gruel and unwise. Cruel, because Ump
pain which..the woman will feel when allhis
subserviency and difference to her is with
held, will he in proportion to the pleasure -
with which it is received; maw ise,beoaltse it
may be such a shock tO her as to Gattie her
resolutely to rebel, or-silently to cease to
. lore. In , ititlwr case the husband will. be
severely pthished for Ignoring their Just
relakions to each othpr.'
