HOW A CONVIUT WON • PAH.
"Will yon nevei'give -up those trips Ter;

and besides Lam fearful that some_ one Will
break in ard rob the house, and mnrder[tis
Ati, never say, My ; Prayers and go to bed
without tumbling for my own life and . that
of the children," anti the little woman hung
upon tlvrarm of the strong mrin begged him
with tearful eyes to give ..up his wandering
life a peddler) and settle down; '
~ As soon SS I have gathered, enough. togeth
er to buy me a bit of ground, or what , would
be better still, to emigrate to.,America, that
blessed land of freedom, Where, as. the song
says. 'there's - bread and work for all,' and the
bright-sun Is always shining? I'll gladl3 give
up carrying the pack, for It is no easy work
at the best."
"Only think of the, money you have:in. the
house now /husband dear?. Surely there
enough to takii us across the sea—you and • I
and the children, and Bridget too, if she likes
to go." ( e -
Bridget was the servant girl who helped the
wife ofithe.peddler, and was her sole coin
panlonwhen he wasawav, andher eyes snap
ped with apparent delight when she ,heard
the pmposition. But she said I nothing and
'the master' .continued r .
"It is true for you, Hatlialecn,•that I Lave a
matter of a hundred pounds• or • so, which I
shall leave for you to take care of; and if I
have good luck this trip I promise y . .ou'elther
tb remain at home or go to America,. bless
her. a good friend she's been to Ireland,
and many's the poor soul that. the has kept
from starving. So take good care of the.

-HU come back mid he kissed his wife and
brll.9,bt 7 eyetl cmay-headtalhabies,gavißridg
et ' tbe good-by, shouldered :-his pack and
strode stoutly away whiatling;merrily.
His heart was light, his form strong, he bad
none of the fears of his wife and wits looking
forward joyfully to the timewhen ;he would
hav,e a - little home "a pig_aad a how, and a
patnliof ptaities" that - n-0111d belong to him
self alone, and ,over, which no hardhearted
stewart or non-resident landlord could claim control,
control; although he would willingly payhis
tithes to the church.
Terrence O'Brien was a peddlerby
pprofes
slmt, and what, was called'a 'fore handedtiati.'
His-family consisted of 'the two childrea, a
hoy of scarcely three years, a babe, and 'the
g.irl of all 'work—Bridget.._ the start of
hisniarried life, he had `routed a little cottage
that stood in a lonely, outatilthesvay place ;
although be had increased his'stores,' he had
retained possession of it on the score of econ
omy:
A brave athletic man, undone who feared
nothing hurnan, he could not understand the
terrors of his wife;Bathaleett—in fact, gape
them little thmight. Beside • robbery was a
thing almost unknown among the peasantry,
and who would ever dream of his having a
large amount of
,money ,in his dilapidated
cabin I , But It was not his custom to do so. I
Usually, he deposited it in some-secure place.
So he gave the .matter no tbrther thought
than to promise himself that this would be
his lastjourney (if-he did as well as lionitic
hatted) and he tugged around,' flattering the
rosy-checked girls into purchasihg finery with
which to dazzle the eyes of their beaux at tit;;
next far.
With Kathaleen, however, it was far diiTet/-
mit As thenight began to diaw near and
the wind to creep around the corners of the
cabin and whistle down the chimney with a
sad and mournful sound, she bethought ftr
self of, the sovereigns her husband had left,
and taking the bag in which they, were: kept '
from the little cupboard over 'the - fire-plat:A ,
she carefully tucked it between the beds, re
marking at jho same time to 'Bridget, "that
no one would ever th!nli of looking for it
there," - - •••
"Nat"' wits' the reply: "It;wo' uld -be a
smart man, sure, that would be lookin' under
the childors to find the gould."
: Thb tat over, f9t they av,ern barly tampers
as well as early risers, the girl requested that
she might be allow,ed to pass the evening with
heraster, who resided abouta right distant,
and, the anxious wife and mother, although
sorely loth to do do, at length consented,
in
sistiuguponan early return-
"But you'wlll be back early, tirldget ?"
"Av course 11011 that tame. But don't be

• The loneworaan busied herself as best she
might until a late hour, but the girl did not
rettirn. In a fever of anxiety, she 'watched

There is 'something unusually significant in
the action of. Gen. Mesde. •He -,ls sent into
the South as a Conservative to carry out what
The National Intalisipeer calls President John
son's great work of constitutional' freedom.
Pope; according to the President; 'was only
the agent oftlie.Radlisal party and hiboring
for the success of the Republican organiza
tion. Meade is .a Oben! of Conservative
instincts, and poPularly - sup Posed to be a
Democrat. Yet, before he is 'tally warm in
his command, he ranoves the Governorof
Georgia, the State Treasurer, and a clerk of
the Court, besides giving the (support •of the
military power to an att of that Conven
tion,
This does not sunrise, us. Gen. Meade is
an honest, straightforward man, and knows
his duty. He finds certain laws; and he
executes 'them, not as President Johnson
desires, but in accordance with the will of
Congress. He might imitate Hancoekthe
President's second edition ot„Washinston—
and give us a, Tammany Hall administra
tion. He might remand the whole region
under his command to the control of Rebel
Courts and treasonable ,executive • officers.
He might very speedily induce anarchy
in his command, and secure a Demoenue
nomination Tor some office, by redneinn• the '
South to a 'condition of ruin. He could - hope
for little - from Congress. Ho saw Sickels
degraded because he stood by reconstruction.
He saw Stanton driven from the Cabinet.
He saw promotions attend the Rousseaus and
Grangers—promotions that the Senate were
willing to confirm ;'so that his . professional
interests, as well as the tendencies of his
mind, led.us to expects conservative, retro
gressiye administration.
Gen. Meade his certainlYnri sash purpose.
He will do his dirty, whether it pleases the

A Goof; Joke on Grant.
.
This is as good a place as any, to tell what
I conceive tole a good joke . at Grant's ex
pense, perpetrated by so grave a person ni
At torney-Getre:ial Stanbery: My authority
is unquestionable, as, in it always is.
Soon after Grant's accession to the Cabinet
he brought; up a' proposition, in Cabinet
meeting, in regard to the abolition .of whip
ping, AY a punishment for hrime in the South.
The whipping-post, be said, •a , relic of
barbarism, and it ought td bo abolished.
All the'lCablnet officers agreed on that point,
but titer differed as to the propeiety of in
terfering againsotho penal laws of a State.
Such ,punishment was being gradually
abolished anyhow, and would soon 'disappear
eutirefy. '
Brit Grant believed that something ought
'l9 be done b_y artey, to prevent its con.
tinuance, 'lt was so barbarous that it ought
not to be tolerated a day longer. Staub° ry
.glanced at the 9oaeral, and sale in a quiet
way : uI believe you still bock and gag men,
and - de therttup'bv the thumbs in the army,'
within a mile of this house, don't you ?"
"Yd.," the General said, "that had ,to be
done sometimes."
"Well,-it seems to me." replied StiObety,
"that it's,a little worse.to buck and gaga man
Dir getting tipsylhati to whip him for lar
ceny. • If you had to choose, would you rath

The General had •to• acktowkdge that, as
between the two, he'd take the whipping—
and he_ postponed farther remarks on the
barbarism of the whipping pestle some fu

The Reward for the Arrest of
Surtatt.
t.The War Departnient (has sent to Congress
certain papers, showing that St. Marie claints
compensation for 'giving the information on
which Jelin H. Aurratt was arrested.. It ap
pears that he wrote to General: Grant from
Montreal last October, and urged his claim,
on the ground that he Could gct'no ernploY,
meat, es he was surrounded by numerous en
emies, and liable to s rat any moment
from the vengeance of Surratt'S sympathiz
ers. The letter was referreAlo a board of of
ficers cansisting of Judge Advocate General
Rolti , Gen, Rawlins and. Sdintlint " Generil
Townsend, Who finally reported in St.:Marie's
favor. They say that the formal offer of $25,-
060 reward fbr the arrest of Surratt was with
drawn.in April, 1805: but the offer to pay
liberally for information was still - ligtiding,
and the facts communicated by St. Mane led
directly. to his arrest. They add that the odi-
Um and peril to which St. Mare is subject by
reason •of having appeared as a witness,
should be into account hi deciding
'what' reward is due him. They report - that
be should be paid $15,000. General Grant
refers the matter to Congress, which must
