Now, w would not be understood .to my that any one regards dyspepsia with favor,, or feels disposed to rank it among the lux uries of life, Far from it. Those who Wive experienced its torments would scout such an idea. All dread it, and would gladly dispense with its unpleasant fulnillarities. Mark Tapley, who was jolly under all the trying circumstances in winch he was placed, never had an attack of dyspepsia, or his jclity would have weedily forsaken him. Men and women sometimes suffer Its tortures uncomplain ingly, but whoever heard of a person who etijnyod then 1 i 1104ur 845 PI ~ i ~ es 1031 500 11 I(K) 555 11 :130 Alf all the multifarious diseases to which the human system is liable, there is per- Nips no one so generally pruvaient ss dyspepsia. There are diseases more acute, and painful, and winch more frequently pyre fatal ; but none, the effects of which ate sadepressing to the mind and so peel. 10'01 distressing to the body. IT there Is' ab i - r urFtched being in the world it is $, it CONFIRMED DYSPEPTIC. ;But it is not our intention So disci:int on the horrers of Dyspepsia { To describe them truthfully is simply an impossiblity, but it is not possible to point out a remedy. We have said that dyspepsia is perhaps the most universal of human diseases. This Ls emphatically the case in the UM top States.. Whether this general pre. vqlence is due to the cluttachter of the food, the method of its preparation, or the Misty manner in which it is usually letVred, is not our province to explain. The great fact with which we are called to deist is this: DYSPEPSIA PREVAILS 'almost untrersallly Nearly every other person you meet Is airietim, an apparently willing one; for were this not the case, why so many suf ferersovlten a certain, speedy and sate remedy_ is within the easy reach of An whodc*ite to avail themselves of It? But itteinajority,will not. Blinded, by preju• dice, or deterred by some °the: unexplain ed influence, they refuse to accept the re lief proffered them.

He passed through many stages; migrated Into as many forms as a Hi ndoo's soul•' and in proportion to the amount oNcense poured at each shrine, was tik loathing which ensued when the smoke blew away and I saw of what &asp material my idol was made. fourteen I_ went to dancing-sehoo . With. George- George was a and three years ekier up to hint as a man; he knew Latin. so I reverenced him as a sage. George always danced with me, and I lent him my seal ring to wear. I declined dancing with theme!' boys and pinched my feet almost numb that he might compliment me on my beautiful little bronze boots. But. one day George gave me back my ring saying he was afraid he might lose it. "Oh, no matter if you do, I replied, feeling it would be happiness /to have my ring even lost by George. But no; he said, "I think I won't keep it any longer, Ellie." He did not oak me to dance again that day, and he danced lour times with Daisy Jones, a new girl and a very pretty one. I turned my back hair to them and bummed a second to the fiddlers very loud when they passed me; but my heart sank down into my little bronze boots, till they—or it— or both—it was all so dreadful I don't remember which—ached to bursting. I stayed out the lesson; George should never suopose I cared wheth er he danced with Daisy Jones all night; but gradually George came down off the - shrine, and I got a se vere fltof celibacy, which lasted with occasional intervals for several years. I should never marry. Men were frivolous; easily beguiled by mere tricious-appearance. No one worthy of the priceless treasure of my affm dons would be likely to_ discover their existence. I was "the violet by the mossy stone." Some day all these men who thought me severe, sedate slow, should be crushed into longing admiration, and completely overwhelmed by a revelation of my manifold unappreciated virtues. But my fit of celibacy passed like the others; it thawed, if I must con fess it, under the sunshine of a young man's smile; and I went as girls so often go from one extreme to anoth er, and from being cold, dignified, reserved, became, through the mys terious alchemy of this sunshine, a little volatile.perhaps gay and light hearted. No radical change of na turn ! i found my world liked me better when I evinced some Interest, in its affairs, and some appreciation of its attractions. So I turned over a new leaf, and life became a more in teresting volume to me, albeit it lost somewhat of dignity and meaning. I was experimenting in life with that undefined consciousness young peo-. ,pie have of the great outlying issues all about them; feeling their way with touch and sense in a labyrinth from which as yet they have no clue, and perhaps glad for a while to en courage the uncertainty; to accustom their eyes to the darkness, and ven ture something in paths unexplored. The possible danger adds to the ex citement, for they all know and feel that when the clue is found, the path made straight to their feet., then must their feet be- trained and compelled to walk it; and liberty is sweet and youth is fond of wanderings. So standing at the entrantce of my laby rinth without a clue, I saw much to beguile my lingering footsteps, and many rifts - of sunshine through the trees And much of the sunshine emanated from my Cousin Phillip. For my Cousin Phillip now MU pied the position of hero to my tale, and like too many of woman's heroes he had but little of the heroic ele ment about him. But Phillip and 1 . were engaged, we sauntered about together in the moonlight; we vowed such vows as young lovers mean -to keep. lie looked into my eyes and swore I was fair as mine sank be- Meath his, I felt he was—charming; and we were happy till the serpent i nteted my Eden.

It was simply no case ter comparison so he always found Something to like or comtnenitin others. Bat he was 'htdolent, content with the applause Of what he chose—what in those days we both chose—to call "the world, " limiting that term, after the Easbion of our caste, to the elect who wore the purple and fine linen of fortune's providing. And I was used to Phil lip; his worldly wisdom was the sort of wisdom I had grown up to believe .In. lie was flar cleverer than any man I knew. • lie bad plenary in. Aulgence to _gather honey from any flowers that pleased-him, and I, in the freshness of happy girlhood and guaranteed liberty, with the bond between us understood and accepted, gave myself to the - enjoyment of fife as it was, On a rainy morning Phil lip would entertain - me'in his own irresistible way with sayings and do inga'of the last week or' fortnight; and sometimes moonlight macle..us sentimental, and he dropped into poetry and prnisvd my eyebrows in welt chosen quotations. In short, We suited one another, and had so thoroughly . accepted our position as future husband and wife, that our days glided by undisturbed by even • lovers' quarrels. Perhaps it was this that drifted in to my mind one day, as we idled away, the sunny morning beside a brook in the countr.y. "Phillip," said - 1 to tbe'great hand some flguretehind a cloud - Of 'smoke at tny - feet,y9l seems odd that' never quarrel. We scarcely di enough to make our relations inter esting." "Name the subject, my dear girl," he lazily rejoined; "I'd even 'quarrel with you for a quiet life. What shalt it be?' The whole sweep of nature .and art, besides the thiltful field of 'our mutual,acqualutance, is open for disetwadrati'-iiihali:sit-be-your anti pathy-for Offenbach? I will defend him with all the obstinacy Of igno. ranee and the persistence of a devo tee; yOu shall declare him a degrader of your sublime art, a demoralizing agent, a trespasser in the temple of the Muses. Not Offenbach ? Well suppose we try l the dark-eyed daugh ter of the goth, who you say gives you moral chills and'fever ?" "No," I interrupted, "we will not talk about her here-, she is a'boine of the city and city life. Nature and Cleopatra are not of kin;" and I pitched pebbles into the brook and mused a little, my musing being no deeper than the water and very coal mouptam. This brook just babbles along, careless and merry. \Vheu it gets to be a river its merry babble is lost, but the noise the river makes is a rush and a roar—it is swollen by storms, it is angry when the wind arises ; it is so deep that it becomes a power. At this point I threw a peb ble a little wistfully and rose, "Tired tal soon. my blossom ?" ask ed Phillip, lighting a fresh cigar. "I could lie here very comfortably all day, with your profile against the clear blue yonder to look at, and the tinkle of the water to drive dull care away." "What does the water say to you, Phillip?" I asked, with just a slight unusual trial of uneasiness. He murmured gayly: 'Tis well to be Merry and glad 'Tin well to be honest end true.' The monotonous murmur of that brook had put me sadly out of tune, for I shook off the arm he had passed around my waist, with the first sting of womanly pain I had almost ever felt, an 4 repeated the remaining uplet: 'Tla well to tar of vrilh the old lute Wore yua are ea with the uew." Philip looked at we a little curi ously and did not attempt to replace his arm.. As we crossed the lawn a turriag,e drove up the street. Glee patra's radiant face beamed upon us through the window. \Ve reached the house just as she alighted. "Bid me welcome, Chatelaine," she said. "I have come to storm your custle.". Day suctveded day in a round of pleasurable engaguaezds. A house full of guests created a succession of enjoyments, but for me a 'cloud lay over the sunshine. The shadow of approaching trouble filled me with a nameless apprehension. Since the morning Cleopatra's sudden advent Phillip and I had become slightly ei trangled, and yet no sign, or word, or act gave either of us a reason for ex planation or complaint. It was the intangible influence of that woman. I watcheddaily the subtle ligaments by which she was binding him to her self, yet felt I was powerless, A sort of num b ness carne over all my sepses but that of perception. It seemed to me, however low they spoke togeth er, I always heard what they said ; whatever glancespasi3ett between them passed through no eye balls; every touch of her hand on his urns thrilled me. And yet our outward relations were unchanged. He was, so far as other people could see, the same gesitie, considerate lover, who sprang to fulfill my unexpressed wishes, and distinguished me by his graceful homage before the world as the woman of his choice. It was as yet only what a womtui's quick in tuitions can feel, not what friends can pity her for; and with my newly sharpened perception, which I did" not analyze to seperate in them love and pride. I sharply , resolved that be fore the second pointtcould be reach ed I would save myself, the blow. But I could only follow eircumstitne es. not force them. Fortunately for me, my position as hostess required constant exertion and self-forgetful nes4, and left me littlo time to brood over my übltstro.

I looked into my owla heart and dis covered some things which surprised me, not being much given to intro spection. The result was, as a matter of, course, a foregone -conclusion, but the examination, of those past years.of my life was a revelation of myself to myself. I found_ a very bitter, vengeful , hatred , toward the woman who bad h atred down my paradise. The intensity of my hate towar4 • her frigutened me. My pride, whkillad never been diselp , . lined, was outraged to suck a point, that for hours I paced the room un able to control myself, and it WttS long before I began to understand my position and, to ask myself the question, "Have I really loved' Phil lip ?" I had never loved any one else, so I had nothing With •whieh to compare this sentiment that had been accepted as love. Bat sitting think ing In the dark, I was little by little forced to the conclusion that "it was not a broken heart I had to mourn over, but a broken dream." I had infinite tenderness for my cousin. but many a, vague apprehension of, times past, which had been cast out as unworthy, came back and took shape and asserted itself; and bitterer and more poignant that the torments of jealous rage or the humiliation. of wounded self-love, was the convic tion that I could not love, had not. loved Phillip with the best part of my nature. I did not sit In judg ment on my cousin, but the truth forced itself, on me with irresistible power. The house was quiet for • the-night when he stole through, the deserted passages to the grett. piazza which surrounded three sides of the main building. .Nly head throbbed, and the cool night air refreshed my excited. frame. I paced up and down, grow ing calmer in mind and body, and at last, tired, threw myself into a chair and leaned my head against the.stone coping' of a window. I had sat for. some moments unconscious of any thing but the chaotic monotony of my own mind, when Phillip's voice, apeaking i in low agitated toues,made itsetfaudible. "I should be less a man were I to take advantage of her momentary pique. I ht:leve she loves me, and cost what it may—and you know the cost—l must fulfill my en gagement." "Yes, believe me, your ,sdffering intensities my own." rejoined Cleo patra's sibilant voice, "and the sym pathy draws us nearer even than the accomplishment of our wishes." "But," she added, after an instant's pause. "I think you deceive your self somewhat. Your cousin has lit tle depth of feeling, and what would be a life-long sorrow to many women would riot sink deep•into her heart. Do you know,my friend, those blonde women do not love as we do. Nay, I have piqued you! She loves, no doubt, to the extent 'of her nature; but her blood is to mine what eau mem' is to eau-de-vie,-; b 4 hould you care much fur an unlimited amount of eau aueree f She would love no bet ter than she loved you, She would be an immaculate matron, a true and virtuous wife, a lovely figure head for your dinner table, and the mother of unexceptionable children. But I, Phillip," and I coOld feel how she leaned toward him and dropped the liquid passion of her eyes into his, ".1 would give you the love your soul demands. I would love you with an intensity which should consume the very being which fed it. 1 should be a priestess making perpetual sacri fice before her shrine. Ah, Phillip, we dark women hold the secrets of love!" I had already heard too much. I sprang from my seat to leave them undisturbed, but my dress ciught in a chair and overturned it and with strange incaution they both stepped through the window on the piazza. We three confronted one another in the moonlight. For a moment there was a silence so profound that the beating of inrAectrt seemed to echo like a sledge hammer. Phlllip's face was ghastly in its rigid parlor. Ile did not even at tempt to speak. Cloupatra was first to break the spell. With a laugh, which stung me by its insolence through the sweetness of her perfect ly modulated voice, shesaidt 'Well met by moonlight, fair hostess." This enchanting night seems to have be guiled us all. It must be late; have you the time?" looking at Philip. Ile took out his watch mechanical ly, and answered that it was hard on to two o'clock. She gave a little start of well acted surprise, "Your cousin has tempted we to renounce my beauty-sleep," 'Abe said, and took my hand. Her touch unloosened my tongue. "My cousin is evidently either temp ter or tempted," 1 replied; '•which do not presume to decide. But since the temptation has proved irresisti ble pray consider all obstacles re moved from the way of that perfect. union of souls which you aspire af ter.

Two tears forced themselves from my eyes, and In shame I covered my face ; for through the unspeakable tenderness Without which I, even now, (=not think of my, cousin, I felt that true love a man has the right to demand from the woman who consents to be his wife had never been given to him. "It is enough," said Phillip com rng close to me and removing my hands that, he might study my face for a moment; and had I been less humilitated, I might have drawn comfort from the intense mortiflcsr don of his tone.

"We have deluded ourselves, and all that Is left for us is to depart in peace;" and as he held my hand a moment, and we stood looking sadly at one another in the truth-telling moonlight, the ghosts of our wasted youth rose up between us with all the undeve'oped p ossibilities of our lost years; he In 4 - 18 godlike strength and beauty, purpess and effeminated; and I, with the rich dower of vigor ous womanhoo4, selfish, frivolous, and aimless..

He raised my hands to his lips,and I turned sorrowfully into the house, leaving him to his own reflections. , It was late the, next porting when I opened my eyes after a' heavy. u n refreshing slum ber. Am al tlltatict at the bedside with a letter. As I tore it open a telegram fell out, di reeted to Philip ; on the hack of it he had written, "This will explain my hasty de pa rture." The tele gram contained these words: "Your mother is dangerously ill ; come at onee.'. A few hours later Cleopatra too took her departure. We shook hands as courteously before the as sembled household, and she made her adieux with as assured a grace, as if her visit had been one of un mixed satisfaetion—as possibly it had been to her. For the next few days the accounts of my aunt's in creased illness were so alarming that my guests, with a consideration I could not but too highly appreciate, relieved me of their presence. In deed, it was with the utmost effort that I could discharge my social du ties respectably, and I could not but feel a little wholesome solitude as a relief after the prolonged and sub dued excitement of the past weeks. I was too wearied in mind and body to apply myself to anything. I wandered about, allowing my thoughts to drift as they would, hoping they might settle down into order and reason; and then became so tired of their monotony that I would spend hours at the piano stri ving to drown all thought in sound. A wearisome disgust of self took possession of me, a fruitless moan over my wretched past. How should I take up life again with the old il lusions destroyed, the old props knocked away 'lo empty the heart of idols is very well; but the heart cannot remain empty healthfully, neither must it feed upon itself; and between self-accusations, indefinite yearnings, miserable questionings of fate and Providence, -and fruitless efforts after self-control, I got day by day deeper into the Slough of Des pond. If the charitable world in which I lived had possessed any knowledge of our reoent enelaircisse meat, how easily, naturally, nay, reasonably, would it have smiled a commiserating smile and whispered, "Dimppointed in love, poor thing!' Yes, 1 was disappointed, but not in any, such way; but I began to hate everything bright,even the sunshine, and to cry very bitterly, "My little body is weary of this great world." I received frequent accounts from my cousin Alice,Philip's sister, of my aunt's conition—from Phillip himself never a word; and from - the allusions in tier lettersl judged her to be still in ignorance of our interrupt ed relation& It was of course no time for the discussion of such affairs. The fever had run its long and wear isome course in my aunt's ease, and at last there was hope of_ avorable change. The same letter which brought these good tidings mention tioned that Phillip was worn out . with watching, and not quite well. "I scarcely think he will be ante to write to you to-day." concluded Alice, evidently imagining me to be in daily receipt,of letters from him. , In a few days she wrote again: "Nye are terribly alarmed .about Phillip; he has taken the fever." Thus (or a week daily came glocrui y tidings. Once Alice said: "1 asked Phillip for a memige to send you, and he wonld not answer. 1 know you would not be afraid of infection, and if it will comfort you to be near him do come to us." I left this unanswered. I could not make up my mind to add to their sadness - by telling the truth. My marriage with Philip hail been one of their dearest. wishes. Again Alice wrote: "Why do you neither write nor come? He raves all day and night, sometimes about you; and sometimes accusing himself of all sorts of horrors. What does it all mean? Has there been any-trou ble? Again I could not answer. I walked the floor night after night, praying in my wretchedness for the cousin I loved and yearned over in THE BLUME& MUMS Is publialted every Wednesday is the old Argai building ore Third Insect, Bea. ver,' Pal it fa per year in adviece.

There recently appeared , in the - New York Herald what purported to be an "Interview" with Col. A. K. M'Clure on the political situa tion. ' 1t was extensively copied ipto both i. Democratic and Republican journals as a statement by Col. lef'Clure of his views on the political situation in a variety of its impor tant aspects, until Saturday, the 2t ult., when the Philadelphia E*enino Telegraph gave an authentic express ion of his views. which we give be low. They differ in many impor tant Darticulars from the Herald ac count, and likewise from the senti ments entertained by the majorityof the Republican party. But since there seems to be a desire on thepart of some to assign the Colonel his playa in politics without consulting his wishes, and as we cannot help but think that he knows his own views best, we think it but fair to him, and to the great majority of our people, who are always anxious to hear what he has to say in politics, to furnish his statement as it was given : Preto the Phllmie 'pills Evenrng Telegraph of the 29th of July The Telegraph published a few days since an interview between Col. A. K. M'Clure, the well-known Pennsylvania politician and a repor ter of the New York Herald. That report, it afterwards appeared, was Incorrect and obscure . in some impor tant. respects. A Telegraph reporter was thejefore detailed to visit Col. M'Clure and obtain from him a (=- rect. - version aT his views upon the present position and the prObatde in- - tyre of men and parties. The result of this interview is herewith given : A TOO ENTERPRISING oonnEsPONli- MI HAT.-11ave you read the Herald cormTondenrs report of your views on the political situation? 31!C.— Yes. I was absent when It suceared, but my attention was called to It on my return, and I looked it over. Rep.—Does it correctly express your views? • does not in some impor tant respects. I do not think that there was any intentional misrepre sentation. I was asked by the cor respondent to give him• my views along with. Col. Forney and others, on several questions, to enable him, as he said, to form an intelligent judgement of the political condition of tht State. We conversed for half an hour, but I did, not suppose that it was intended to publish my views, much less to pretend to give a ver batim report of the vonversaiton. Had I supposed that to be hIS pur pose, I would ether have declined t• have a publication, or made a rev*-- ion of the report. As it was, ••Gme important matters are omitt • I, and others are so stated as to eonv,ey dif ferent impressions from what I in tentled THE AUTHORSHIP OF THE "NEW DEPARTURE' Rep.—Did you the author of tin zthl departure?. WC.—No,' id not ; for the very good reason at 1 was not its author. I never saz one of the resolutions .of .p2 e the Den retie State Convention until t ey were published in the news pers after the convention had adjourned. I have understood that Mr. Stanley Woodward was the author of the notable ninth reso: lotion, but I never spoke to him' on .that or any other political sub. ject. I have earnestly urged the Democratic leaders of this State for two years past to accept the inevita ble, give the country peace, and ena ble the people to pass upon the up settled and vital issues which are soon to be met. THE POSITION OP THE DEMOCRACY. row yourself :t4 Democratic new Rep.—Do you regard the accep tance of the results- of the- war by the Democratic party intended to be in good, faith.? 3I'C.—No one pretends, I suppose, that the Democrats, as a matter of conviction, any more approVe of_ the amendments to the National Consti tution, or the general ,policy , of re construction, now than they did w hen these measures were mipective ly adopted; but they simply recog nize the fact that they have been irrevocably settled, and they have yielded obedience to them just as they do tohurricanes and floods and other unpalatable things which they can't escape. They see- that the slaves arc free, and as they neverCen be enslaved, it Is folly to agi tate the manner of emancipation. They . see that the negro votes every where, and to retell the fifteenth amendment would not disfranchise hint. They see that reconstruction is an accomplished fact—the States all restored to their proper relations in the Union ' • and even judicial inquiry is precluded by the political aspect the reconstruction measures assumed whenever the States were rehabilita ted under them. Nine tenths of the Democrats will always believe that the amendments and the-reconstruc tion measures were carried by.. vio lence and fraud, and that they, were not warranted even under the war powers of, the Govermtent ; but all parties in the South, where the ma ple are most direetlyafiected by these measures, have long me not only an cepted them in good faith, but a large majority of the Southernlieo ple would not change them if they could. They prefer that the no- (Ocinchuied on Ibtirth Page.) =I
