Indeed was not wanting, for that la al
ways cheap. I was directed to nil tlio
points of tlio compass to find my god
dess. Sho was no longer In Vienna. I5nt
although I was told no tit tho hotel
where jIio had lived, nnd although I
occupied thosamorooin which hatlonec
been hers, I still s.ought her. I was at
all churches n'l masses, at all masque
rades and balls, at all plays antl places
of amusement. Enough lovo's labour
was lost. My angel had vanished.
Inconsolable, I left tho capital, anil in
tho worst winter weather roturncd
home.
Hut to mako tho wholu bliiguliirity of
my fato clear to you, I must tell you
how I became uciiualnted with tho la
dy. You will Hud much In my story
that is wonderful, but In love every
thing is romance.
-i
Three years bcfor, I had visited
Vienna on business. Our lioiiio was
threatened with it great loss. I buccced
ed in averting ths misfortune, and then
availed myself of the opportunity to
participate in the amusements of Vien
na. Who knows, thought I, that I shall
ever' again euiiiu to Vienna?
My acquaintances carried mo into nil
companies; I was intioiluced into
many family circles ; tlio mothers re
ceived mo very kindly, and their fair
daughters not less so. I was known to
boiitimarti('d,ai!d the nameof our house
was not unknown to the fathers. I
passed everywhere as the i kh banker,
and was nd'livsjcd by the titlo or Mr.
I'on Walter.
On account of the peculiarities of my
good old father, 1 had never thought of
mat ry Ing. OfcoUrno, entirely free, 1
fluttered from ono fair one to another.
I loved them all, but no ono in particu
lar. "Tho latly Von 'Tannin is every mo
ment expected," lisped an elderly lady
near me,atan evening party to u young
neighbor.
"She is a dcur good creature," replied
the young lady addreed ; "alio would
bu thought perfectly beautirul, were it
not for that horrible defect."
"Ah I" said tho elderly lady, "you
mean the molosheliasou her breast, just
below her neck'.' they say thatit Uin the
form ol'a moiiso !"
"A momo I Pardon, my dear lady, if
it were nothing worsts than that.lt would
not bo necessary for her to wrap her
self up so like a nun. No, it is just like
a camel, with two humps, four legs,and
a long neck." f
"Don't you believe that!" said nnolh
or who joinetl in tho conversation. "I
knownllabout it. It is a molo of u
very peculiar kind, of a monstrous. size,
and coversher whole neck. It is a shock
ing disfigurement." i
"Indeed.thnt is frightful!" exclaimed
the old lady.
"Yes, and If I were so disfigured,"
said ono of tho young ladies, modestly
casting her eyes down upon llio 11 no
gauze which lay upon her fair neck Ilko
a cloud on tho snow, "I do believo it
would kill me." .
Others now joined iu tlio eon vers i
lioiij every one confirmed tho fact, anil
all pitied the young lady Von Tarnati
on aejounl of this great misfortune.
Tho door opened. Tho young lady
and her aunt entered.
Had she not already aw.iket.cd an In
terest In mo through thopreccdlng con
versation, sho would havo riveU'd my
attention by her uncommon beauty anil
grace. An ideal, such as wosometimrs
admiroin the pictures of Angelica Katif

In love, add now 1 am married, so I ut
ter nothing but truth.
Enough, tho lovily Taruau won tlio
eyes and hearts of all llio gentlemen ;
theya'l approached her with an ex
predion ol'lntcn.t, brightened by tlio
tcnderr.st .sympathy. Hut tho was im
penetrably vailed clo.-e up to her chin.
This peculiarity of her dress, of course,
incessantly reminded one of the mouse,
and another of thoe.imel. Ah I thought
eviry one, why was fate so cruel as to
defurm tho sweetest creature under the
sun in this divaill'til maiuiert anil, I
cannot deny it, I thought so ton.
I am not by nature curious, but on
that evening this sin plagued mo as
uover before. My eyes cimtlnu.illy
wandered over tho folds oi tho thick
vail; I repeated my voyage of discovery
every quarter of an hour. I always

There was dancing. Several couples
had already taken their places. Tl.o

how powerful is imagination I I asked
her to danco ; eIio gave mo her hand, I
continued her partner the rest of thu
evening.
Sho hovered lightly around me, like
ono ol Til aula's elves, in all her
motions, snilhs, looks, words, full of
inexpressible sweetness Ah I shame
upon tho mastcrpleeo of Nature, wlip,ln
cruel wantonness, had ruined her most
beautiful work. ic

FRIDAY, JAN. 1. 1869.
slrangoa freak of nature, by which all
tho magic of bpatity was mixed with
tho lintufutlc.it of hateful tiling,. As I
roturnetl from a walk, nnd ascended tho
stop- of tho iiolol, I Hiiddeiily met tho
lady and her aunt descending.
Naturally enough we stopped nnd ex.
chanced friendly Inquiries. Surprlso
wns expressed on both sides that wo
should have been residing under the
satno roof without knowing It. I show
ed my pleasure at thu discovery, unit
bfffced permission nt sultnblo hours to
sco tho ladles In their apartments. At
tho worl "see,"I ru.illy looked for my
curiosity again arose towards tho re
gion of tho horrid mole, but a thick
shawl, carefully pinned under hot chin,
covered tho young lady's hi east and
shouldor-, antl therefore I preferred to
look nt tho angelic, beautiful faco
above.
They wont down tho step-, nml I
went hastily into my room, Iu order to
havo another sight of thatdelloato formi
from my window. They got'nto a car
riage and drove oir. Ah, sighed I, what
a pity that such un angel should be so
terribly disfigured I
I did not forgot the perml-sloa thoy
had given mo to come and t-cc them,
antl from time to ttmo I made tho ladles
a visit. Thsy were, like myself, stran
gers In Vienna, and had been Introduc
ed lo my friend, at who-o homo, a few
cvenlngsbsforo, I hud become acquaint
ed with them, by an Augsburg llrm,
from whom thoy received their funds.
I attended my fellow-boarders to the
promenade, to tho theatre, and to all
places whero there was any thins to be
seen. Tho beaut iful Josephine fer so
her aunt called her manifested the Hiio
quaitie.s of her mind and heart tlio
more I btcamo acquainted with her.
Hut it did not escape mo that tho longer
our acquaintance lasted, tho more care
fully did she conceal tier unfortunate
dlslljrurcil breast. .losepliino was the
most perfect woman that I had over
seen In my llfo; hut nothing under the
din is quit; perfect.
A- we saw each other dally, we be
came every day more Intimate. At
last it seemed as if 1 wholly belonged to
them. The aunt Healed mo with the
f.imiliaiity which srows out of travel
ing iu company. In Josephine's man
ner or addressing mo I fancied that I
perceived some tender marks of friend
ship. Wliou I was occasionally prevented
from joining the ladles by biuiuos, I
was compelled to listen to some slight
reproaelir.s; and when Josephine, sit
ting motionless andsilenl, would fix her
eyes upon me us If she sougl.'t to look
Into my very .soul, antl ask, Who art
thou V ah ! it is Impossible to say how
I then felt.
Hut at last no business ever hi ered
me, and I en mo punctually with the
el oc k.
My heaven, however, did not J last
long. I received a letter from htjmo.
My good father had had an apoplectic
stroke; he longed to see me. It was
necisiary that I should uu the utmost
base if I would again embrace him in
this world.
The letter arrived In the morning. In
half tjn hour nil Was packed, and tho
post-coach Mo-d nt the door of the ho
tel. I was itlmo't out of my senses with
anxiety. My servant annouticod that
all was ready. I went down to tho
street like one in u dream. Thu thought
of talcing leave of my fellow-boarders
never occurred to me; antl I was Just
about to jump Into the coach, when a
voice from nhow called lo me, "Where
are ,o;i going V"
It was the sweet voice of Josephine.
1 lonktd up ; she stc.nl at tho window
and icpented the question. My recol
lection returned. I flow luck into tlio
hotel and up stairs lo obey tho dictates,
if not of friendship, at least of politc-ne-s.
. I knocked at I ho tloor, and It sprang
open. Jos.'phine, .still in hr iinrulnj
dress, e.imu towards me, hut starting
back with an expression of the liveliest
alarm
"(Iraeious heaven !" eiied she, "what
Is thu matter with you '.' What has
happened'.' How pale and ghastly you
look!"
As she said this with great emotion,
and strotehtd out her h.iinl to seize
mini.', Ihe Cashmere shawl which sho
had thrown loosely over her loll open
In front. And may llio sliatlo of my
honored father pardon me but curiosi
ty is a most unfortunate sin I forgot
journey, apoplexy, anil extra pint, anil
had eyes only for the revealed secret of
Josephine's bretiit.
Imagine my astonishment ! 1 saw a
breast as w bite and ( lear as Ivory, and,
two Inches below the diinnlo of her
alabaster throat, the unfortunate mole,
Hut It was no unmu, no camel ; only
a duik-hrown spot on the skin about
tho slzo and the nhapo of a small bean.
I could have sworn that a pretty beau
was lying on tlio blinding snow.
Josephine, blushing, drew the shawl
together ag.iJu, but I could not speak.
Whether It were the apoplexy or tho
beau enough, I Htood confounded like
a statue.
"For heaven's sake !" cried her aunt,
"tell us what has happened to you!
Have you met with any iiiiMortuno'.'"
"My father lias hail an apoplectic
stroke ho is at tho point of death I
must leave you."
I eutild say no more. I kissed tho la.
dies' hands, nnd took leavo. Tor a
moment, but only for a moment, Jose
phine held my hand convulsively grasp
ed In hers, Ilercoiiiituuaneo was pale,
antl her eyes wet ; perhaps It was not so,
for I hardly saw any thing. Kvery
thing danced before my eyes.
Oiico lu tho carriage, I thought of
nothing but my dear father's death
fowl, 1 travelled day and night iu a
perfect fever. Tho days thus spent were
the most painful of my life, I bud only
a fow. happy moments amidst the con
fused dreams that hovered beforo me.

I will not say liorr violent wns my
grioi. wiiu an ins humors, I loved
my father with tlio most filial tender
ness. Grief nnd tho excitement of the
Journey prostrated my health. I wns
seized with a violent fover, which was
really a benefit to me, as I became whol
ly unconscious. For three months I did
not leave my bed. When 1 recovered,
ns It were, out of a cloud, I wns r.s cold
and Indifferent as if nothing had hap
pened, as if I had lost nil feeling.
Tho nflalrs of our houso had been
thrown into some confusion by tho
death of my father and tho long con
tinuance of my illness. Huppily for
me, labor nnd occupation weru aHoided
me.
Within a year and a day, however,
every thing wns put to rights, and I wns
uio master of my house. And when
the blnek crapo disappeared from my
arm nnd Lat.auntsnnd cousins thronged
around me, full of marriagu plans. Such
manifestations of cousinly and iiuntlv
regard arons necessary nml unavoidable

makers havo their way, and troubled
n.ysulf very Jlttlo about their advlco or
their plans. No cousin, no mint Hy
men's ever-ready servants can ever ef
fect so much as simply a binglo pretty
maiden, and at the right hour. Hut in
our whole city and neighborhood there
was no pretty maiden no, that Is a
calumny : it wns tho magic hour that
had not come.
Nevertheless, this continual question
ing nnd answering brought ino to re
flection ; 1 really perceived that I was
alone, and that I wanted something.
My liouse, since my father's dealh, hail
ui-cumu a TTiitierness. Anil yet, among
tlio ten thousand young latlies whom I
had over seen, I knew no one with
whom I should JIko to sharo my lil'o
and my wilderness.
My residence in Vienna and tho
beautiful Tarnati suddenly occurred to
me, I know not how, for it was'n Jong
forgotten story. Fortunately, I was
alone lu my room, for I believe that I
grew Hie-red at tlio remembrance; at
last I suddenly sprung up from tlie sofa,
stretched my arms far out into the air
as If to embrace tho heavenly Image,
nml sighed no, I called aloud with
mingled rapture ami pain, ".'"'epiihie!
Josephine I"
That was, 1 bcllove, tho magic hour.
To increase my disquiet, the very
next night tho god of dreams, showed
o the bean in ticsnow. Josephine' was
beautiful enough In herself, but my
enannred imagination Illuminated
her with unearthly beauty. - Let no
one laugh I had gone to bed sober,
but Iarootho next morning intoxi
cated with love.
Now, indeed, wns my house desert
and waMc, as tho old Chaos of Creation
inldgt havo been. I sought Josephinn
everywhere ; I saw hercverywhere'. I
thought of her as my wife, now at tho
plano.and myself behind her listening;
and now at mv sido on the eof.i at a
little round breakfast-table. In llio tu
mult of my imagination, nil hoc indes
cribable grace, her smile, her look, and
her nightingale tones btcamo over moro
bewitching. I was no longer master of
myself; I was lost in a conflict of emo
tions of all torts ; ntouo timo I was up
on the point of Ehoiitlng aloud from
very ecstasy ,s0 bri lit were my dreams,
nnd then, ngnin, I was ready to weep.
When I thought how Josephine, per
haps, might reject mo, sometimes, I be
lieve, I leaily did shout and weep,
fur l was like a wild dreamer, who is
only at home with his ideal, and is ileal'
and blind to the outward world.

ranged my business.ordcred po.-t-horse.s
and (low to Vici na.
It is true, poiiio .Hoher considerations
now ami then occurred to mo on tho

is married. Sho may not bn at her own
dlspo-al. Sho Is too young, and has
parents and relatives, and they havo
vio.is which neither of us know'or; or
sho may be of high rank."
I thin Ihoughtovi rnur former friend

Ihe reiiiem bianco of her pale counte

to conclude on tho whole that the lady
Von Tannin was not indlll'erent to mo.
Hotter not to live, than to live without
her; better deluded anil happy, than

Filled with these thoughts, I again
approached Vienna. Hut when 1 saw

Revolution, ho is known of all men
and his namo will go down to future
ages. It is tlio prido of our people to
contemplate tho colosal reputation
which he achieved and left behind him,
and they dwell witli pleasure upon the
minutest particulars concerning him
from that hour when, obscure nud
friendless, ho appeared in tho city of
his ndoptlon to the timo when "full of
years and full of honors" hu passed
away to his appointed repose.
Thaddeus Stevens cams from Ver
mont to Pennsylvania nt tho ngo of
twenty-one. lie camo unheralded and
unattended, to carve his way to fortune
nmong strangers.
Adams county, Pennsylvania, lies.
upon tho Maryland henrder, nnd Get
tysburg's the county town tho seat of
justice, for the county. At that placo
ilr. Stevens settled after a short resi
dence nt York, and commenced thu
practice of the law. It was not a placo
to mako great gains at the bar. Tho
town was not large, the county vrus not
populous, tho people were not wealthy.
It was a rural section of tho Stato ; rail
roads were unknown, manufactures, ex
cept In a small way, had nut been es
tablished; farmers and shopmen main
ly were the clients of men "learned In
tho laws." Hut there were sound ele
ments of population In ho town and
county the German r.nd Scotch-Irish
being prominent distinguished for in
dustry, frugality, fidelity, an sound
sense. And it was a pleasant region.
broken hut fertile, farm and woodland
alternating In tho landscape, with hill
nnd mountain In the distance, forest
clothed from base to summit. There
were u fow scattered villages for tho
convenience of merchants, lilncksmlths,
carpenteis, and other traders nnd work
men, nnd mills sounded nlong tho
trcams. Cemetery Hill then, ns now,
overlooked the town of Gettysburg;
but no war at least no war of civilized
man had ever echoed upon its heights,
nor had its soil received, as a harvest of
battle, the bodies of our patriot dead.
Sir Stevens's long residence in a ru
al district, such as I havo described it;
Influenced in a great degree his subse
quent character and conduct. And it
gavo him a wider Unowlodgo of men
and affairs than ho could havo acquired
if ho had been nt all times the resident
of a city. He knew the men or the
country n? city men cannot know them.
and with him always "knowledge was
power," and ho gave it preetical appli
cation to tho management of men.
.Mr. Slovens enleietl public life tit the
ripe age r forty as a Representative iu
tlio Pennsylvania Legislature from Ad
ams county. I shall not detail with ex
actness or nt length the facts of his pub
ne career; nor snail i pronounce an
etilogiuni upon him or express emotion
of personal grief at his removal bv
death from u field of action and scrvico
in which he was conspicuous. His la
bor.s will lie detailed moro fully by otb
ers, nnd his character is one not so much
for etilogiuni as for analysis and for re
flection. Ami as to mtnlfestatlons of
MJiisinility at this time, I havo to say
that I think It will be proper to regard
(omewhnt his example upon like occa
sions, nnd his general views o.iuc.'riilug
funeral solemn It en. Ho did not res
poet Insincere or undue praise of thu
dead, and he always refused .to wear
crapo In lienor of thel.- memory.
Hut some notice of his life nnd ohar.
itctor by the two Houses of Ci:v-ron Is
most becoming in view of his eminence
and of the Inllueneo which ho exerted
upon legislation and upon popular
thought. And such notice may be
made Instructive to men of tho present
and to men of future times.
Tho llrs knowledge I recollect to
have acqIrod of Mr. Stevens was lu
lfS. It was from, a speech which had
been delivered by" him in tlio Legisla.
ture of Pennsylvania upon tlio subject
of education. After tho lupso of thirty
years I ean remember that ho spoke of
the time when "the atoms of creation
shall bubble In the crucible of the Al
mighty," meaning the time of (ho Hind
destruction of tho earth. When r read
that, I thought, with the tusto of a boy,
that it was a most eloquent and admir
able passage. I do not think so now.
Mr. Stevens for many years (both
within and without tho Legislature)
conductetl or assisted to conduct a war
upon tho Institution of Freo Masonry,
nnd eventually set on foot a legislative
Inrestlgatlou of IU mysteries, lu those j
years he showo.l himself to bo an able
and eloquent leader of party, and ob
tained for tli ) Ilrst time dlstin itlou and
influence. But his efl'irt wero unsuc
cessful. Masonry stands as It has stood
for ages among thu benevolent Institu
tions of civilized Status.

Tho question In 1833 wns one of parly

There wrts a great excitement, and
the public peace was imperiled. Troops

from nil parts of tho State. Eventually
tho dllTlcuIty wus composed by n rec ig
nition of tho members really elect- d,
and tho disturbance was given to his
tory under the namo of tho "Huckshot
war." I believe thero Is now but one
opinion upon whnt then took placo,
and that Is that Mr. Stevens aud thoo-
who acted with him were entirely
wrong, and that an honest decision was
reached under tho pressure of popular
opinion.
Mr. Stevens was prominently cun
nccted with tho creation of the public
debt of Pennsylvania, as hu was with
that of the United Slates. I think that
ono third of tho former was duo to his

Mr.Stovens was a member of thoeonMl
tutlonal reform convention of IS'53, but
was not an active member during the
latter part of its proceedings, nor dl 1
lie sign tlio amendments proposed by it
fur popular adoption, for lie reason" al
icatly stated by my" "colleague.
I turn, however, from his Statu to his
COIltrressIoiial carreer. ITo r'mnn Inln

Congresa t wonty years ag o as a -Htuice-. .TM
sentativo rom tho Lancaster district.
After a servics of four years ho was ab
sent eight, and then, being again re
turned, was a leading member of thu
IIousO until his death. These words-
a leading member art. not an exagger
ation. Ho led others, and was not led
by them; nnd ho hnd two capital qual
ifications for mastership in tlio House.
Ho had a very vigorous will,und ho had
wit also, which was to him a powerful
instrument for botli aggressivo and de
fensive debate.
Mr. Slovens was in the latter part of
ids career sometimes pleasantly called
tne great Commoner;" but this in vi-
tatlon to a comparison between him
and Chatham was not well advised.
Perhaps it dots not deserve serious
treitment, but ns there is no eminent
public man in our political history with
whom Mr. Stevens ean bo compared -
none essentially like him wo may l.o
excused for pausing upon this Invited
comparison with a foreign Statesman of
a former nge. Pitt, un iko Lord North
was not u man of wit ; hut bis general
powers of intellect for parliamentary
service were null vailed. Hisltlcs-, his
abilities were well suited to executive
service, as shown by htm whin chief
minister nf theCrown. Ho united pru
dence with during, and was as s.igucious
as ho was bolt. Hurke has told us of
his achievements when he first held
tho powers of tho sovereign and en-
Joyed the confidence of tho Commons ;
and thesubject was worthy the hai.il f ,
that great ma-tor. It is true Hint points
of ru-ieiiiblanco may lie men 'ontd U
tween the British statesman nnd tho
American leader. Roth were men ( f
strong Kill: both"had laicu inllnineo

greedy of applause, though proud, scif-
sustalnid, aud undemonstrative in i s. .
enjoymcn ; both were leaders of party
but often exhibited ndetie deneo of
party control; both hud tho great gilt

ner and In unequal tlegree. Pitt's elo
cution was sonorous and commanding,
his sentiment lofty, his language,
"drawn from tho wells of Kngllsh un-
defiled," was polished, vigorous, and
pur-'. Uesides, ho had a moral weight
which is sometimes wanting to public
men. For ho wns deeply attached to a
lawful spouse, and ho respected all
thoso proprieties of private life and of
public station Which goto mako up ad
mired clmracter.
Mr. tovens had not a high opinion
of men with whom ho was brought, in
contact. Hlseyo was keen to all their
defects, and ho felt his own mental eu-
porlorlty. This gavo him coolness and
confidence for dobutu. neslde", Ids
training at tho bar had taught him
forensic urt and had oxorchod and
strengthened his logical powers. Mo
