"Mary, my dear, what Is It?" taking

"Yes," said Mr. Itolmison, eagerly,

and nlthoogli they could not soften tho
look of tho scarred one, still I could seo
a dim a very dim likeness to tho
picture over the mantelpiece, nnd could
no longer doubt his Identity. Deep
lines seemed to grow In the llttlo wo
man's face as ho spoko toher; the very
roundncis appeared to fall into sharp,
angles, such ns long years of sorrow hail
filled to produce.
"Send him away ; toll tho man to go

plteously.
"Xo, my dear," said her husband :
"I have come to "stay, nnd I thought

The next .i.ornlng she woro the tamo

weeks, anil then returned to my own
homo, which had, meanwhile, been
thoroughly renovated. I could sit In
peace before my fireplace now, without
fear of storms or risk of draughts. I
could sit in peace, outwardly, but my
mind had llttlo rest. At intervals of
two or three days I went over to seo
the llttlo woman. Month by month

Wr. hoist to tho nmst-hcud of our pa
her, In this first Issue, the names of Hon.
Chnrles li. Hoyle, of Kayetto County,
nnd Gen. Wellington IL Knt, of Colum
bia County, for the respective offices ol
Auditor and Surveyor General.
Charles L. Hoyle, the nominee for An
dltor General, Isn prominent member
of tho bur of Kayetto County, was a
member of the Legislature during the
session of 1MJ7, and President of the
Convention Hint nominated the Hon.
Geo. Sharswood forjudge of the Su
preme Court. Mr. lloylo's ability and
conscientious honesty U a pari of the
history of this great Commonwealth,
uud Is conceded, even by his bitterest
political opponents. In this connection
we copy from tho Stale Guard of March
Cth, the organ of tho Radical party at
Ilarrlshurg, the following paragraph of
one of Its leading editorials:
"It e.innot ho den ed that hols n ninn
of ability, that ho Is personally honest,
and, if elected Auditor General, would
miiKo a competent, omeer."
This speaks volumes In his favor.
When extreme Hail leal Journals, such
as tho Slate Uncivil, speak In tills man
ner of our nominees, wo have nothing
to fear.
Of Gen. Wellington II. Knt, the nom
inee for Surveyor General , wo can speak
much, as wo have a lingering eelio for
any ono with whom wo have associated
lu tho gallant Sixth Heglment of the
Pennsylvania Reserves ; having our
selves served, for some time, In the
humble, but honorable, capacity of a
privato soldier, in that Itcglnient. How
well we remember Gen. Knt when
but a Lieutenant, then a Cnptaln, Ac
Ids pleasant smile mid cheerful counte
nance, nnd beyond nil that, his great
ambition to promote the welfare of his
entire command. As a gallant soldier
and courteous gentleman none aro his
superiors. Tho many Important com
mands which ho held during the war
aro sufficient guarantees of his ability
to fill the position to which ho has been
nominated. General Knt served the
entire term of threo years, and partici
pated, witli ills Regiment, in all the
important battles in which tho Army
of the Potomac was engaged, from
Drnnosvlllo to tho front of Richmond.
IIo was wounded a few days prior lo
tho expiration of his term of service,
and returned homo with tho proud sat
isfaction of knowing that ho had done
his duty.
With such men as thoso for otircandl
dates, and abiding faitli In tho great
principles of our party, wo do not fear
tho result; and that result will he

Sho left tho room without a wold,
moving mechanically, like one In a

of his shipwreck. It was tho old story
