Once there was an island, separa
ted from the rest of the world by a
great ocean flowlat-;..llllinitably
around it. Here dwa)t.h.trtOther and
her two children, a girlsand a boy.
She loved them enetedinglY ' and
they returned her loitte s eed be cause
the boy was older antlettellger than
his sister he took tailet:cif.and pro
tected her; and she,s, •4 g delicate
and fair, sontided in : - 4 looked .up
to him. And it wasoOssigssummer
around them; ever 800 the boy and
girt could remembe had been
warm and pleasantolelth sunshine
and soft winds.
But one day the mother called the
son to her, as she sat his the shadow
of cottage porch IhOklng out to
the sea. The sun wattesting on a
fleecy heap of goldentelouds above
the water's edge r and: boy saw
that long &idea liii,eksseemed to
be stretched from.hitri4o4...them.
"Lionel," said the e*tber, "it is a
law of this island thaeitesane can re

age. My time has corners - - And I must

yourself tip warmly, and sit before a
tire, where the cold and darknesscan
not reach you. 'But you must never
forget to care first for your little sis
ter; thecoid and the darkness will be
harder for her to bear than for you,
and you must keep her always warm
and cheerful until she comes to my
arms again."
Lionel looked in his mother's'eyes
but said nothing. Something filled
his heart so very full that he could
not speak.
His mother gazed a while in silence
over the sea, and the shadow of the
cottage porch grew darker around
her, so that Lionel began to fear lest
she should vanish altogether; buttbe
brightness of the setting sun had so
dazzled his eyes that he could not see
plainly. Ae last his mother spoke
again
`After I am gone you will find in
my room a long dark mantle which
your father left me when, many years
ago, he reached his allotted age and
departed from us. This mantle is en
chanted, and when you see it you
will very much wish to wear it; and
if you should do so you would be en
abled to see me where I am gone.
NOtwithstanding, you must never
yield,to . this desire until your sister
Bose Shall have ceased-to requireirom
you any further protecting care and
labor ; for as long as you wear the
mantel you wilt be powerless to give
her any assistance in time of need, or
keep her warm and cheerful in the
winter weather; and though you
would be able to see me, I should
look pale and sad, and the cold winds
and darkness. would increase around
you. But if you have strength to re
sist the spell of the enchanted mantle
until your duty to your sister is per
formed. you may then wear it with
out fear, and I shall appear bright
and smiling to you, even more so
than you have known me here."
As his mother ceased speaking, the
shammy of the cottage porch became
so deep that Lionel could scarcely
see her where she sat. Nevertheless,
it seemed to him that she bent over
him and kissed his forehead and his
eyes; and when he opened his eyes
again she was gone. But looking
act oss the sea, where the last glimpse
of the sun was just sinking beneath
it, he noticed a bright,path extending
thence to the Island shore; and ai,
the further end of the path, where it
was merged in thesun, he thought he
saw his mother standing with a glory
all about her. Then something so.
dimmed his eyes that lie could hardly
distinguish her; yet it seemed to him
that just before she vanished she
looked at him and smiled. He stood
gazing until the sea had became dark
and gray,
the golden path had van
ished, and a cold wind,
which came
sighing from the east, had begun to
drive the breakers into foam against
the shore. Then he withdrew, with
a shiver, Vito the cottage, a n d tit a
sniffle, end entered his mother's
room.
By the light of the candle, as ho
looked around the chamber be saw a
long, dusky cloak, or mantle, thrown
over the chair on which his mother
used to sit. It hung in sombre folds,
unrelieved by any bright embroidery
or triming. As he gars d upon it
wonderingly—for he never remem
bered to have seen it before—he was
conscious of a strange and almost ir
resistable longing to put it on. It
seemed to him that it would protect
him, as nothing else could, from the
chill of the east wind which was al
ready beginning to whistle around
the cottage. He even felt as if it
would in someway bring track to him
the comfort of his mother's premise
and love. So he approached and
lifted the heavy mantle from the
chair. As he did so a dreamy, ener
vating sensation began to Steal over
him; his strength and vigor seemed
to ebb away, and the noise of the sea
waves on the shore sounded in his
ears like thesmice of one sobbing in
her sleep—like the voice of his own
Mother t
But ere the dusky cloak could de
scend over him he heard his stiffer
Rose calling to bins loudly: "Li
onel! brother Lionel! where are you?"

Lion t ,el stalled, and let the cloak
fall back upon the chair. In a mo
ment all his4nother had said to him
rushed overL him. This, then, MIS
the enchanted mantle of which she
had sPokerp—this the effect of the
spelt it had:, already begun to east
over him. Even now he could
scarcely shake it off; but summoning
all his strength he rushed from the
room, and fulthsd to find his sister,
who sittiddiering on the door step;
and there . *ere tears in her eyes.
In his anxiety to comfort Rose,Llon
el forgOtall about the dusky mantle.
"What makes the Bea so gray and
angry?' asked Rose tearfully; "why
Is the wind Se cold? and where is our
mother goner
"The last r'saw of her," replied
"she was 'standing on the
furthest edgeof the sea, close by the
sun; and I think she must be gone
to him, so that whenever he shines we
may know that she is smiling upon
us. And then we shall not mind
any more about•the cold wind and
the angry sea."
So Lionel took his little slater back
into the cottage, and brought wood
aad"balllt a warm fire in the fireplace;
and the light danced and flickered
al?out the room, playing all sorts of
prank* with thechairsand tables and
the orharnentsi on the mantleplece;
and Rose and Lionel eat looking in
to the s flre, her little hand resting In
his. It seemed almost as if the sun
shine ;had come back to them. -At
last Lionel cried out:
"See, Rose, in that red-hot coal is
a perfect picture of the sea, and sun
resting on it; and in the sun can you
not see our mother's Awe smiling on
us?"
"Yes ! Yes !" cried Rose, clapping
her little hands for joy; and now
we need never feel the cold and
darkness out of doors, for we can al
ways have our mother's sunshine in
the cottage!" So that night they
both slept soundly, and Rose dream
ed that the warm weather and soft
winds had come back; all the more
delightful for having been lost. But
Lionel thought he was standing by
his mother's chair, on which hung
the enchanted mantle and wondering
if the time had not yet come when
he might put it on, Then he heard a
voice milling him, and awakened
with a start ; he saw Rose standing
over him looking seared and puzzled.
The ground, she said had become all
white and soft, and oh ! so very cold;
and the water had turned into a hard
transparent stone, and the air was
full of little, cold, white feathers,
which were blown about so thickly
that one could hardly see across the
garden.
So Lionel gave up all thought of
the mantel for that day, and, spring
ing out of bed, he kissed his sister
good morning, and set to work to
make things warm and pleasant for
her io-doors. When he had kindled
another roaring fire on the hearth,
he put on his tallest boots and his
warmest coat. and plunged boldly
forth, into the cold,wh ite snow-storm.
He gathered together all the sticks of
wood he could find in the neighboring
forest, brought them in great armfuls
to the house, and piled them up un
der the shed ‘ until there was enough
to kat for many days to come. Then
he took the spade and shoveled path
ways all around the house, and out
to the 15arn, for Rose to walk on, so
that,when the evening came around
agaie, everything about the cottage
was quite comfortable and cheeful,
and Bose declared she was almost as
happy as before the winter bo4an.—
,AW again that night the children sat
thandliPliand — Wore "the" blazing,'
crackling fire; and as it fell gradually
into glowing embers they fancied
from time to time, they caught the
glimpses of their mother's smile. At
last, when the fire had died out, and
Rose was sleeping quietly, Lionel
stepped on tipLoe to his mother's
rooru,opened the door, and looked in
at the dusky mantel hanging on the
chair.
"Perhaps," he whispered to him
self,' "I may be allowed to wear it to
morrow." But even as he spoke he
heard Rose turn uneasily in her bed,
and, thought she murmered some
thing in her sleep. So he closed the
door with half a sigh, because he felt
that he must wait yet longer ero the
time should come.
The snow lasted a long, long while
until the children almost believed
that the summer had been a dream,
and there never had been anything
else than ice and snow. The sky was
almost alwayr covered with gray,
heavy clouds, tvhich hid the sun; but
In time thechildren grew fond even
of the clouds, they looked down up
on them so softly and tenderly, and
piled themselves into such strange,
fantastic shapes. And once In awhile
when the day closed and the sun
sank below the ocean; the. clouds
would gather around them, all dres
ed in the magnificent robes of crim
son, gold and purple, and stood wait
ing in solemn and superb array, un
til he had disappeared, and the gor
gebus vestments vanished with him.
At such time Lionel's mind would
revert, he knew ribt why, to the en
chanted man tie in his mother's room,
and he wondered whether it woula
be transformed into splendid colors
like the gloomy clouds. And some
times he marveled that the sun
should make these very clouds that
st rove to obscure his beauty the means
of making that beauty more grand
and magnificent than it could other
wise have been. then he would ask
himself whether he would be able so
to glorify the magic mantle when the
time for him to wear it arrived. And
often it would seem to him that he
could no longer wait, he so longed to
cover himself with the dark folds,
and feel again the drowsy influence
of the spell, and look once more up
on his mother's face, But whenever
the longing was most irresistible the
voice of his sister Rose would come
to:him, and something in his heart
would whisper that his duty was not
yet accomplished, and the mysteri
oes mantle must still remain hang
ing on his mother's chair.
So the days went by, and the
months, and gradually the years, and
still the children lived together in
thexottage. In their outward guise,to
sure.they were children no longer,
for Lionel . was tall strong and state
ly", with deep, tender eyes, and grave,
determined lips; and Rose was love
lyd and graceful, with sweet, confid
ing eyes and so ft brown hair. But
ell this was outside; there was noth
ing old about their hearts, and in
each other's eyes they were children
still. Rose always looked up to and
trusted in her brother, as in the sum
mer days so long ago ; and Lionel
protected and cared for his little sis
ter just as lovingly and tenderly as
when they were first left alone to
gether. And' because the time had
never once come, in all these years,
when he could say„ "Now all is done
fort,her that Lean do, and there
maiihing to prevent mygiving myself
up;Ao the spell of the enchanted man
tie." therefore it still remained un
disturbed in his mother's room, and
Many years had pessed since he had
ever opened the door to look at it.
But once in a while there would be a
Whisper in his heart, "The time Is
eeming,Lionel, wait and be patient!"
It seemed to him like his mother's
voice, and he would enter with re
newed hope and courage upon anoth
er day and year.
Still the time went on and on ; and
now the winter, which bad seemed
so long, began to gradually pass
away. The winds grew warmer and
gentler; the heavy clouds broke up
and floated about in Titanic forms;
the sun came forth again, moregiori
ous than of yore, and soon all the
ARGUS.
snow bad vanished, except that a lie
tie of the pureit and whitest always
rested on the heads of the boy, Lio
nel and his sister Rose, sea memento
of the long winter they had spent to
gether in Ow cottage. As the sum
mer eame on the evenings grew long
er and more beautifitl. and the chil
dren, instead of sitting in-doors by
the fire, spent much of their time in
the porch of the cottage, looking oat
to the sea. Every evenieg there was
a wonderful sunset, each , more per
fect than the last; every evening, al
so, appeared the vision of the golden
path,extending from the island shore
to the utmost brink of the sea; and
when the sun sank down and rested
a moment,all glowing, lain the water's
edge, the children would gaze and
wonder whether they should not now
see their mother's 'face - looking at
them.
At last, one evening, there had
been the most glerious sunset of all.
The loveliest clouds In the heavens
had collected together to see it, and
each reflected and multiplied the
splendor. The sea was calm, and
• nted the wondrous plgture on its
mso marvelously .sf ell that it
was hard to decide whether the real
ity or the copy were the better. The
souls of the children,Weite filled with
joy and love, and !bra long time they
had been sitting beside each other,
very silent, but hand In hand as ev
er.
So long did the silence last that fi
nally Lionel roused himself from his
reverie and pressed hie sister's bud.
When s did not return the pres
sure or ve, he thought she must
be aster . and spoke to her gently,
?I
fearing to awaken her too suddenly.
But she slept on, and did not answer
him. Then he looked in her fact;
it was all rosy and glorified with the
parting splendor of the sun. and In
the shifting light a sweet and happy
smile seemed to play about her
mouth. A great and solemn awe
fell upon Lionel's heart, for ho knew
that the beautiful and reverened fig
ure in the chair was nothing but the
image of the sister he had loved so
long and faithfully. But turning his
head he gazed at the brightness
across the sea, and in the best of it he
saw his mother's face, and beside it
another, which was Rose's, only fair
er and lovelier than it had ever been
before. They both smiled radiently
upon him, and so faded impercepti
bly away.
So therea ft er Lionel lived alone in
the cottage, The hours passed slow
ly now, for he bad no longer any sis
ter to labor for and protect, and the
purpose of his life seemed to have de
parted with her. He sat often in the
shadow of the cottage porch, where
the sea-breze lifted his long white
hair, and looked wistfully out across
the mighty sea.
One day as he was sitting, his
head resting on his hand, and lost in
thought, he was conscious once more
of the mysterious whisper in his
heart. But now instead of bidding
wait and be patient, It repeated soft
ly, over and over again, "The time
has come Lionel ! the time has
come !" And he knew that now, at
last, it was permitted him to put on
the enchanted mantle. He felt, too
that never in all his life had he need
ed it so much as now. Faithfully
had he fnifilledthe task which had
been given him to do. He had re
sisted to the end the selfish fascina
tion of the spell; he had grown weak
and weary with the lapse of years;
and what now remained but to wrap
the dark inscrutable mantle around
him and satis, f y the life keg yea rn ing
°this soul r .Thelong4ehlyed -prom
ise of his mother would be at last
fulfilled; he would see her bright and
smiling, in the place whitlier she had
gone ; and surely Rose, his sweet and
gentle sister would be with her there.
So he went to the long-closed door
and threw it open. Involuntarily he
shaded hid eyes with his hand, so
penetrating was the soft radiance lia&
filled the chamber. There lay the
magic mantle, but dusky and sad no
longer. It was all one glory of rain
bow tinted stars that shone and twink
led with a tender luster.
As Lionel's eyes becarnekaccustom
ed to their light he saw that every
star contained a picture in its heart,
and that it was the picture which gave
the brightness to thestar. And every
picture represented some occasion in
his life when he had conquered his
desire of wearing the mantle that he
might give some help or encourage
ment to his little sister . It was his
own life, weary and cold though he
had sometimes thougt it, which had
so transfigured and illuminated the
enchanted mantel as to dazzle even
Lionel himself.
He approached, lifted It from the
chair, and drew it around his majes
tic figure. As he did so a peace and
happiness of purity and depth un
speakable seemed to well up from
within and reinvigorate his soul. A
joyful light was In his eyes as he
steped forth for the last time on to
the cottage porch. He beheld the
sun once again stooping to the sea,
which lay breath lessly awaiting him,
and across its bosom he saw the gul
den patlx.which seemed to invite him
onward. And onward he went, with
a great hope increasing in his heart.
And now he descried two shining
figures advancing down the dazzling
way to meet him. Nearer and nearer
they mme,growing more marvelous
lybeaut fu I at every step;but,in spite
of the brightness, Lionel needed not
to shade his eyes, for he himself was
well-nigh as resplendent as they. As
they approached they held out to him
their beautiful white hands, and each
took one of his, and kissed him ou
the forehead and the eyes. So they
all three went up the golden road to
gether—his mother and` his sister on
either side, and Lionel between them,
and as they drew near the end of the
pathway Lionel heard a grand and
mighty sound of singing, which
seemed to come from afar beyond the
sea. Then he stood upon the utter
most brink and looked forward •, and
the glory of the vision was, unuttera
ble; but wbat the vision was no liv
ing man can tell.
On the morning of the election the
N. Y. Sun contained the following:
Three seperate gangs of repeaters
have gone from this city to Philadel
phia to vote in the election. In one
of these g an g s there are eighty-seven
men; the ot hers are much larger.
There are several United States elec
tion marshals among them. They ex
pect to vote as many as thirty times
each. They have free passage both
ways, and alt their expenses paid;
and they receive from ten to thirty
dollars apiece for their sent Ices.
Never was a political fraud organ
ized on so grand, so undisguised a
scale as for this Pennsylvania election
under the auspices of Simon Cameron
and U. S. Grant.
Is it possible that by such means
the people of Pennsylvania may be
overwhelmed, and kept under rulers
they repudiate and under a system of
official villainy from which they
would fain ho emancipated.

der, a tiny rosebud, of a mouth, and a,
dimple in one pink cheek.
That was Mrs. Marton Clements.
Was it any wonder that George had
fallen in love with her?
She sat in the bright little parlor,
close beside the lace.cmrtained win
dow, watching for the loved hus
band's return; and then, when she
heard the click of the latch-key in the
hall, flew for the welcome kiss.
"Ilavn't you got the letter this
time, George? I've felt sure of it all
day. Indeed, I've quite decided
what dresses to take with me.
He smiled and shook his head.
A cloud passed over her pretty
face.
" 4 0 George, i n't it too bad? And
I do believ h! I do believe they
won't write usn`they are sorry
you married me."
He put his anus around her neck.
"And supposing such to be tleaase,
do you think it would make any dif
ference to me?"
"Oh not not only it would grieve
me so if I knew I had allienated your
parents from you."
"And a one sided allienatlon it
would be, too! They haves,never
seen you! And when they know
you they can't help loving yult:"
"0, George!"
And the exclamation was caused by
the kiss accompanying his loving
flattery.
"That's true as preaching. By and
by, my dear, what would you say if
the firm sent we off on a traveling
tour of six weeks?"
A little dismayed cry answered
him.
"You wont stay here alone, eh?
But, Marion, it would be five hun
dred dollars clear gain to us."
"What need we care for money?"
"I think the addition to our balance
at the bankers would be very conso
ling for thee bsenee. But never wind,
little net. Let's go down to dinner.
I hope we'll get a letter from home
soon:"
"I'd rather have you,"
Amisehievous etude played on the
young Mtn'a lips; be waft mare mat
ter-or-fact than this romantic, tender
Utile wife of his. •
And soon It was; for Marion snatch
ed It from his coat pocket the very
next night. But her husband's face
looked very grave and stern, and his
eyes looked angry when she looked
gleefully over the envelope.
"My dear, you must remember I
care very little for what the letter con
tains, Remember, I did not write it;
that you are dearer to me than ever
before. Kiss me, first, while I watch
you."
A little pang of misdoubt troubled
her when she glanced over the note;
then tears stole from under her lash
es, and George saw her tender mouth
quiver and tremble; then, when she
had fi nished it, she laid her head
down on his shoulder and cried.
'•lt was crugi to let you see It, my
wounded birdie. Let me burn it.
And don't forget, darling, what the
Bible says, that a man shall leave his
father and mother, and cleave to his
wife. You are my precious wife,
Marion, and toyou I turn for all the
happiness my life will over hold."
He dried her tears, and then they
talked it over.
"Just because I am city bred, she
thinks I am lazy and haughty, and
dainty, and—"
"Never mind, Marion. She will
find out some day. My father—"
"Yes, bless the dear old man! He
has added: 'My love to my daughter
Marlon.' Oh, I know I should love
him, and your mother, too, if ,she
would let me."
"We will invite them down, when
I come home. By the way Marion,
I will stop at the farm on my way
and invite them down, and bring
them home with me."
"George, dear, I have been think
ing about that trip West. I think
you had better go, and leave me at
home. It wou't best. very long.
Marion was eating her egg while
she spoke across the cozy little tete-a
tete breakfast table.
"Spoken like my true little Marion,
and when I get back I'll bring you a
present. What shall it be ?"
"Your mother and father from the
farm. It shall be that hope that, will
bear me company when you are
gone."
A fortnight after that Marion Cle
ments ate her breakfast alone, the
traces of a tear or so on her pink
cheek ; then she dashed them away
with a merry, joyous little laubh.
"This will never do. and now that
George has gone for six weeks to pre
pare for his return. And I pray
haaven It shall be such a coming as
shall delight his very soul."

-I'm sure I don't know what to
say. The land knows .1 need help
bad enough, but it 'pears to me such
a slender little midget as you couldn't
earn your salt. What did you say
your name was?"
"Mary Smith. And indeed if you
will try me for a week, I am sure
you'll keep me till the season's over."
Directly she came down In a pur
ple print dress and white apron; her
hair brushed off from her face Into a
net; a narrow linen collar, fastened
with a sailor's not of narrow black
ribbon. It seemed as if she had life,
too, so handily she flitted in and out
ofthe big pantry and then down the

Then after the meal ahe
the dishes in a neat, silent
way, that was perfect bliss to Mrs.
Clement's ears.
"Shebdetermined to earn her bread,
anyhow; and I like herturn too."
And the deacon had "taken a
shine" to Mary Smith. One by
one the days wore on; the hog kill
ing was over and done; long strings
of sausages hung in fantastic rings
arranged by Mary's deft fingers;
sweet hams and shoulders were pli
ed away in true house-wifely man
ner, and now Mary and Mrs. Clem
ents were sitting in the sunny dining
room, darning, patching and mend
ing.
don't know what I am going to
do without you, Mary; I dread to see
you pack up your clothes."
A blush of pleasure overspread Ma
ry's face.

Macy's'voice trembled at the k ind

sewed rapidly on.
"It is so uncommon lonesome since

When Mary had turned the mites,
Mrs. Clements was leaning on the
arm of her chair.
"Mary, supposin' you stopon with

"It isn't the money I care for, Mrs.
Clements; ronly wish I might stay

"Love us! do you? Bless your
heart. If poor George had only pick

be to us all ! But it can't be helped
now."
She sighed wearily, then glanced
out of the window, looked a moment,
and then threw down her work.
"Bless my soul, If there ain't otir .

Deacon! Deacon! George Is coming."
And all her mother-love rushing
to her heart, she hurried out to meet
him. On, the welcoming, the re
proaches, the caresses the determi
nation to love him still, despite the
poor innocent little Marion! Then
when the table bad been set in the
next room by Mary's deft iingerP,
and she had returned to her "west

heart.
"There's no use talkin', George;
this fine fancy lady o' yours'll never
suit me. Give me a smart girl like
Mary Smith, and Pll ask no more..
Come to supper now. Mary, Mary."
She raised her voice to cult the girl
when a IoW voice near surprised her.
"Oh, you dressed up In_ honor o'
my boy. Well, I must copfess I
never knew you had such a' hand
some dress, and you look like a pie

George came through the door,
and glancedosrelessly at the corner
where the young woman stood.
Then with a cry, sprang with out
stretched arms to meet the little fig
ure that sprang into them. The
Deacon and Mrs. Clements stood in
speechless amazement. Then Mar
s ion, all blushes and tearful smiles,
went over to the old pair and took
their hands.
"I am tieorifeie wife. I was so
afraid you would never love me, so

And a happier family. when they
had exhausted their power of sur

Our amiable friend and co-iabur

troduces the election returns froui
Pennsylvania:,,
We give all the returns received
up to the hour of going to press.
l'hey are not heavily charged with
comfort to the' Democracy and Lib
erals in Pennsylvania. The Indica
tions are that we have been effectu
ally routed, and it remains for us to
retire In as good order as practicable,
having due regard _ for our wounded.
The Cherry Hill certificate of good
character has been endorsed by the
votes as counted, and the incoming
Governor is at liberty to call into
his cabinet his former creditor, Ev

wealth, and "Dear Yerkes," as hls
confidential adviser. The freemen,
who are jealous for the honor of
Pennsylvania, and who gathered
around the upright statesman,Charles
R. Buckalew, have been overborne
by those who preferred party to pur.;'

imported from adjoing States. Phil
adelphia, under the skillful manipu
lation and unscrupulous . manage
ment of a corrupt ring, has rolled in
upon us from the east with a Itadical
majority of nearly twenty thousand,
whilst Allegheny answers from the
west with almost half as much. A
few of our old staunch Democratic
counties, who, never faltering but
true as steel, send us rays of light
which shines through the darkness
which at present surrounds ns.
