CHRISTMAS CHORAL
Dr DR. W. A DDITLENBURG, Or SEW YORK.
It is seldom that we come across anything
more truly poetic, expressive and grand, than
the following:
Hark! ye faithful, rouse from sleeping;
Strikes the ADVENT Bell again ;
With the Church, go watch, be keeping,.
Louder grows her old refrain,
Alleluia t Jesus, come to judge and reign.
Fast flows the tide of ages ;
Oftte fullness signs appear ;
Tokens of the prophet pages,
. Seem to tell the comma near.
Alleluia! Welcome Lord and Saviour dear
Waxeth cold the love of many ;
Waxeth hot the Devil's spite ;
Few the steadfast—hardly any
Daring for the True and Right.
Alleluia I Jesus come in thine own might.
List I the seventh trumphet pealing,
While the world keeps on its ways ;
Sudden shows the last revealing,
Sudden breaks the DAY of days.
Alleluia ! Come when thou wilt, we will praise.
Join their cry, who've gone before us
Longing for their final doom;
Their' and our Redemption's chorus,
Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come.
Alleluia! Even so, Lord Jesus come !
A WOMAN'S "NO,"
[Frans Harper's Weekly.]
"Isn't that the Warburtons' car•
riage?" asked Tom Otis.
"Yes," replied Gordon.
"Who was in it 7"
"Florence, and her admirer, Fred
Avery."
"Is Florence Warburton going to
marry that atrocious flirt, after having
refused the best moo in Now York ?"
Tom Otis was one of those best men
who had been refused.
-- •Tilbn'ticnoW ; but I scarcely think
Fred Avery is much of a marrying
man."
"Of course you are going
Warburtons' ball tomorrow 7"
"Oh, of course. Everybody will bo
there,"
"Good-by, then. I stop here—my
tailor, you know."
"Oh yes. You'll ho there for the
rest of the afternoon. But I suppose
you'll come out quite new for the ball?"
"Ugh !!! groaned Tor# Otis, "what
can a man wear at a ball that's fit to
be seen? We are condemned to a sot=
emn livery like a pack of res
taurant waiters."--
"A very • nice style of dress," said
Gordon. "What would you have?"
"Why, colors, of course. Rich vel
vet coats, and satin breeches, and—"
"Bless me ! you'd look like an actor."
"That's better than looking like a
man-servant."
"Well, good by to you, once more."
"Opera tonight?"
"I. think so. But club afterward,
sure."
As these gentlemen separated, the
%adage which they had noticed stop
ped at the door of a handsome house
in Thirtieth Street."
"Don't let my dress brush against
that dirty wheel," said a light, merry
voice from inside the carriage as Fred
Avery sprang upon the pavement and
extended his hand.
• "Oh dear, no. I'd rather be broken
on a wheel a dozen times than permit
your dress'to be soiled against one."
"Any orders, Miss?" asked the coach
man, touching his hat.
"Why, let me see," said Miss War
burton. "You will come in with me,
will you not, Mr. Avery ?"
"Too happy."
"Then the carriage may as well wait
for you. Stay hero, Jones, and take
Mr.. Avery wherever he wishes when
he leaves hero."
The man said nothing, but ileliben
ately getting llown off his seat, unfold,
ed a couple of blankets, with which he
carefully covered the heated horse's.
"In fur a long stay, ho is," was the
coachman's comment on the length of
time he must, in all probability, wait
for the conclusion of Mr. Avery's visit.
The coachman must have been a
keen observer. Two hours had passed
by the coachman's great silver watch,
on whose large round face the snow
flakes fell as he pulled it out at the
moment Fred Avery stepped on the
doorstep.
"Where obeli I take you, Sir, please?"
said the coachman, slipping on his In
dia rubber coat ever his gray livery-,
for the snow was now falling thick
and fast.
Um—drive down Broadway till I
call to you to stop."
Off they, went—down Broadway
with a whirl. The horses, chilled with
long standing, now dashed on madly
to put some warmth in their blood.
- Outside, the coachman swung his
arms and boat his bands to keep them
warm. Inside, Fred Avery, with his
feet on the warm fur rug, thelap:robe
over his knees, and the collar of his
over•coaC turned up snugly about his
ears, indulged in soliloquy
"She loves me—loves me dearly !
That's plainly to be seen. And 1 love
her—l do indeed. I shall propose to
lier at once—propose to her, and if she
will have me, marry her ; and then set
tle down and stop flirting."
As ho spoke ho looked out of the
window on the hurrying - crowd which
filled Broadway, and was hastening on
through the driving snow. how much
more fortunate, ho reflected, was he
than the generality of people ! With a
comfortable fortune, an agreeable pres
ence 9 all those successful flirtations of
his could testify to that—and now,
best of all, the love of the sweetest,
most elegant girl in their set! He
would show his gratitude for the many
blessings which had been showered
upon him by ceasing his frivolous life
of flirtation.
-PERSEVERE.--
Could it be possible that that was
Edith Rowson- standing there on the
corner of Broadway, trying in vain to
induce one of the overcrowded stages
to stop for her, while the ;snow 101 l
heavily on her pretty head ?;
She had not even an umbrella!
Ah ! now, this isan exceptional ease;
and, besides, it need not noclossarily be
a case of flirtation.
"Driver, stop ! There—draw np to
that- curb where that young lady is
standing•."
The driver had drawn up before Mr.
Avery had quite finished• speaking;
and before the horses had altogether
made up their minds to remain entire
ly quiescent Fred Avery was on the
pavement. ,
"My dear Mis - i - Rowson," he eiclalm
ed, "who over would have thought of
seeing you out on such a day ?"
"On such a day!" returned Miss how.
son, shivering with the cold; "why,
the day was fine enough when I came
out, not moro than a couple of hours
ago."
Fred suddenly remembers it was fine
enough when ho went in with Florence
Warburton, and snowing when ho
came out. Ho must have staid a good
while, ho thinks.
"The worst of it is," said Miss Row
son, "all the stages are full, and I can't
get home."
"Just step' in the carriage and I'll
take you home," said Mr. Avery:
She did not require a second' invita
tion. In a blinding snow-storm one is
not apt to be squeamish about getting
a shelter.
"What is your number , now—Madi
son Avenue ?" asked Fred.
She gave it, and ho repeated it to
the coachman, who, Mr. Avery fancied,
looked cross. "As if it were any of his
business," said Mr. Avery to himself,
with a shrug.
As the carriage rolled smoothly on
Edith began to thank him for his kind
ness in picking her up. It was so good
of him, she said; and, • by-the•way is
this his carriage? now very elegant
It is!
iilorenen Wayhtirtop! .t i
carriage, to
take him where he wishes.
"Ah !" and Edith Howson bit her lip
and became suddenly pettish.
Little by little it came out. how all
the girls say Florence is crazy for love
of Fred Avery; and all the gentlemen
say that Fred Avery is awfully "spoo
ny" on Florence.
"Spoony, indeed !" ejaculated Fred.
"A hateful word! sow, Edith, can
you believe a man like me capable of
being 'spoony' on any woman ?"
His arguments were very convin-
Mug. How handsome he was !
Oh dear, here's the house in Madison
Avenue. flow short the driVe has
been ! Will Mr. Avery come in with
her ?
Yes, Mr. Avery will. Mr. Avery
has much to sayjto her. Ile must beg
her to deny all those reports. Ile went
in with her, and bade the driver wait
for him again.
:The driver, thinking
.this would only
be a short stay, was careles's enough
not to trouble himself to cover the hor
ses. But when three quarters of an
hour had passed, and evening came,
and the snow kept falling faster and
faster, the driver made his horses and
himself as comfortable as possible un
der the uncomfortable circumstances.
At length Fred Avery came out. He
had had two or three glasses of wine,
and being of a temperament easily af
fected by the spirituous, the intellectual
was not so clear as it might have been.
"Drive to the club !" her said, huski
ly, and puffing a breath laden-with
wine-odor straight in the coachman's
face. "Drive there, and hurry—.then
you can go;"
At the club he was again “chaffed"
for his penchant for Florence. He de
nied it stoutly, with another bottle
open before him, and half of its con
tents down from his stomach to his
head.
And yot, spite of his tipsiness, spito
of the stuff he is talking, Florence War,
burton was the only woman Fred ever
loved.
Back at the house the coachman was
desirous of knowing whether Miss
Florence had any further orders; and,
while seeking that knowledge, he also
took occasion to impart acme whi3h
was not altogether pleasant knowledge
for Florence.
Sho learned of Mr. Avery's having
found a lady in the street whom tie
took home, and'tvith whom he staid a
long, long time. The number and the
street of this house being given her,
sho recognized the residence of Edith
Rowson, who was knoWn to be as des.
porate a flirt feminine as Fred Avery's
reputation made him a flirt masculine.
Tho.nezt clay was the day of her
hall. Fred did not come to see her.
Butit was just as well. She was so
busy; and, besides, he would be sure
to come early to the ball in the even
ing.
He came very late. Tom Otis and
his friend Gordon had been there dan•
cing away for two hours. At length
he came, and Moreno() met him in the
"You aro late," she said, coldly.
"Yes; a fellow from the West whom
was obliged to dine, and couldn't get
rid of afterward. Ah Florence," ho
whispered in her ear, and meant it too,
deeply, "how dearly I love you !"
Her frame quivered with delight,
for she loved him with every fibre of
her being.
Fred entered the ball-room, and the
first person ho saw was Edith Rowson.
Witching little creature How pi
quanto she looked, in her clouds of
tulle and her coral ornaments! He in
stantly remembered that she was en
gaged to him for the first dance.

the third t Are they engaged to each

looked at them with amazement. With
her head and her heart throbbing with,
neatest pain, she whispered -to her
mother that she was so ill she must go
up stairs, but there need bo no cessa
tion of the festivities.
Up stairs her maid met her• and
caught her in her arms just as she was
on the point of falling.
"Why, Miss," sho said, "how pale
you look ! Sha'nt some one go for the
doctor 7"
No; no doctor. Miss Warburton
says no doctor can help her.
In the morning Fred Avery review
ed his conduct with supromest disgust.
"Was I insane to act as I did? Is
there a fatality which drives me from
the woman I love to a woman who is
nothing to me—whom I despise--
loathe—as I do myself?"
Ho shuddered with disgust.
"But I will see her," he said ; "tell
her I love her—love her dearly—in
spite of all my folly. She loves me,
I know. She will not refuse to see
me."
Ile went at once to the house. Miss
Warburton was too ill to see any one.
Days passed; she was still ill.
"I will write to her," he said at last.
He wrote this note, and sent it :
"On MY D.tarANo,—Lan you forgive
my folly—wickedness? 'Will you mar
ry me? Answer, if but one-word."
The answer came very promptly. It
was but one word:
•
"NO."
No more flitting now for Fred Avery.
No; but there is Loth° in the wine
cup, as there is oblivion in opium-cat
Down,down he goes, sinking steadily
from one grade to another until ho has
reached the lowest. But long before
this stage his former friends have cut
him, and in the fashionable circle,
where he 4 Was oncea brilliant light, his
name is almost forgotten.
Mrs. Warburton wondered. it her
daughter had forgotten it. She know
Fred Avery once proposed to Florence,
and that she rejected him.
"Do you think Florence ever loved
him ?" n4cock ..Vippqneu's _aunt-of- her
kiraier - :.6.65. Warburton.
"Never. She never mentions his
name, and she wrote 'No' to him when
ho proposed to her."
One day they wore at breakfast,and
they read in the morning paper of a
handsome young man who, crossing
Broadway in a state of intoxication,
was knocked down by a heavy truck
and killed.
"What name?" asked Florence.
"Frederick Avery."
Florence said nothing further.
They ordered the and went
out.
She went through- the routine of
visiting and shopping and visiting gal
leries of paintings and a matinee at the
Opera. But every where she sat off'
alone, and said nothing.
"Do you think she could have loved
him ?" asked the mother now, in turn,
of the aunt.
"I can not say," she replied.
In less than a month Florence was
stricken with a fever. ' •
"Is there no hope, doctor ?" came
the mother's last agonizing question.
"No. There is no hope. Frame too
emaciated by a previous, silent wast
ing away to resist this hot tyrant of a
typhoid."
An anniversary came, and found
Florence still alive. It was the anni
versary of the ball which took place
five years ago.
Just as the crock pointed to the hour
when Fred Avery came that night, so
late, and meeting Florsnee in the hall•
way, whispered in her ear "How tlear

mother and said :

rid wretch" having ventured on the
opinion that "a woman who locos urf
sought, deserves tho•scorn of the man
she loves," is shot dead by the follow
ing from a lady correspondent:
"Heaven forgive me! but may the
man who penned that never see an
other bonnet ! May no white, dimpled
arms ever encircle his cravat, or but
tons vegetate on his shirt. May no
rosy lips over press his moustache,and
the fates grant that his dicky strings
break short off every morning. May
no woman's heart ever learn to beat
faster—except with indignation—at
the mention of his name, and may his
stockings always need darning.
And when his nerves are unstrung
by disease, and his head throbs with
pain, as though an earthquake wore
brewing in it, may we have nothing
in his sick chamber but boot heels, and
see not one inch of muslin or crino
line,

Reconstruction and its Enemies--The
Disturbing Element in the Republi
can Party.
[From tbo Now York Times, [Republican.'
Wendell Phillips was not far •wrong
when, with the fate' of impeachment
before his eyes, he affirmed the -pres
ence of conflicting elements in the Re
publican party. Ho was evidently
right, too, when, in the same connec
tion, he predicted the renewal of an at
tempt on the part or' the extremists to
control the Republican policy, and to
engraft upon it views at variance with
the scheme of reconstruction now in
progress.
The current reports of interviews
held within the last few days by South
ern deputations, blank and. white, with
sundry leaders of the extreme faction,
afford a timely illustration of the for
ces which are at work to prevent the
restoration of the Union. They show
that the Southern opponents of the
law who meet in Conservative Con
ventions and bewail the departure
from the cardinal article of their faith
-- r that"this a white man'sgovernment"
—are not the only or the most dangerous
foes of the pacification which the coun•
try most anxiously awaits. They prove
that whatever be the result of pending
operations in the excluded States, the
finality of the scheme.isthreatened by
politicians who do battle under the
Republican Standard, and who will re
new in Congrosi the delays and distur
bances which have already been
,so
productive of mischief.- • - •
According to the statementejrara
milted from. Washington through dif

nels, Messrs. Sumner,' Stevens, and
Butler severally declare themselves
dissatisfied with the alleged moderate
character of the present law, and court.
so! the Southern deputations who •call
on them for "advice" to adopt more
proscriptive measures. Thus; Mr:Sum
ner advises the conventions yet to be
held to widen the disfranchising claus
es of the Congressional plan, and to
impose disabilities which would have
the effect of excluding the great body
of Southern intelligence from partici
pation in the Government: Mr. But
ler favors, substantially, the same
course.. Mr, Stevens, as usual, is not
behind either. He would allow a bare
majority of those who vote to. determine
the matters submitted to thorn—in-
Stood of a majority of the registered
voters, as required by law, He pro
poses to increase the, Congressional
'representation by allowing to the two
fifths hitherto excluded, members to
be voted for on a general ticket or as
Congressmen at large ; and= lie con
templates the organization of provis
ional governments, to be -established
by the conventions, and to take the
place of the district commanders.
This last proposition is intended to se
cure the existence of "loyal govern•
intuits" to rule the States in which the•
measures of the Conventions may be
voted down or otherwise defeated,and
is a foretaste of what gentlemen like
Mr: Hunter may expect as the alterna
tive of "nea t' r° rule" under the law as
it stands. Mr. Stevens clings, more
over, to his old idea of "mild confisca
tion ." and Mr. Butler suggests that
for die better securing the supremacy
of the "loyal element" the disfranchis
ed class shall be debarred participa
flan in the management of banks, rail
roads, or other chartered commercial
enterprises. To crown the whole, Mr.
Sumner insists that the problem of na
tionality which he has striven pro.
foundly to elucidate, shall be solved
by the enactment de political rights
bill, milking political 00-extensive with
civil rights in all the States of the. U
nion.
It is not easy to speak with patience
of projects so obviously' at variance
with the policy of the itepublican par
ty, so injurious to the country, or so
calculated to add to the dangers and
difficulties. of 'the. South. And yet
nothing is gained by refusing to look
at plans and propotitions which indi
cate the purposes, and throw some
light upon the probable tactics, of the
faction whose confidences are shared
by Alessrs. Sumner Stevens, and But.
ler in common with the special contri
butor of the Anti-Slavery Standard.
The folly and enormity of what these
persons propose is not a reason for
passing it over unnoticed. The spirit
it reveals cannot be safely disregarded,
since its influence will be felt, imme
diately, throughout the South, and
again in Congress when the question
shall come up for . final adjustment.
The first effect will perhaps be the
worst. There can be no doubt that
the absence of faith in the finality of
the Constitutional Amendment, con
tributed not a little to the failure of
that measure in the Southern Legisla
tures. They declined to acquiesce in
unpalatable conditions, which, after
all, might not be the ultimatum of the
National Government. The distrust
was, in our judgment, unfounded, and
the refusal unwise, but we must nev
ertheless admit the plausibility of the
reasoning in which both originated. A
similar argument against the Recon
struction law is now furnished by the
extremists; though the effect may not
be so distinctly traceable—the tendon-
Cy is unquestionably the same. It will
put a powerful weapon in the bands
of those who dwell upon the bad faith
of Congress as a motive to opposition.
On the more violent members of the
Conventions the influence will be still
more mischievous. From the Caroli
nas and from Virginia they have sent
to Washington to learn the views of
politicians who claim to be considered
leaders. The trio whose extravagan
ces now come before us have been vie
ited for this purpose, and their opin-,,
ions will be reported to the Conven
tions with all the weight of gospel.
