THE LADY’S DRF.AH.
MY THOMAS HOOD.
Alas I I have walked through life,
Too heedless whoro I trod;
Nay, helping to trample ray follow-worm,
And All the builal sod—
Forgetting that oven the sparrow falls 1
Notnuraarkod of God f
I drank the richest draughts;
And ate whatever was good—
Fish and flesh, and fowl and fruit,
Supplied by hungry mood;
Rut I never remembered the wretched ones
That starve for want of food!
I dress’d as the nobles dress,
In cloth of silver and gold,
With silk, and satin, and costly furs,
In many an amide fold ;
Rut I never remembered the naked limbs
That froze with winter’s cold I
Tho wounds I might have heal’d I
The human sorrow and smart I
And yet It never was In my soul
To play so 111 a part;
But evil Is wrought by want of thought
As well ns want of heart!
She clasp’d her ferveut hands,
And the tears began to stream
Largo and bitter, and fast thC3* fell,
Remorse was so extreme—
And j’ot, oh, j*ct, that many a dame
Would dream that Lady’s Dream,
Mktgllatigoas*
O U K GA L,
I must write it; if nobody ever reads a
line of it, I must, while it is all new and
fresh in my mind, Wiite/out the history
of the last two weeks ivrfd the description
of ‘ our gal,’ as Harry calls her.
Our gal first made* her appearance in
the house two weeks last Monday, and
I hailed her broad face and stout figure
with most heavy welcome. Little did I
realize—-but to begin at the beginning. I
was, I am a very young housekeeper, yet
theoretically I do know something of the
arts and sciences thereunto appertaining.
I was married about two years ago; but
we have always boarded until now, and
when started in my pretty house, with
two girls and everything new, I fancied
that clock work would bo a mere wander-
ing vagrant compared to the regularity of
my proceeding.
‘ ’Twas on a Sunday morning,’ us the
song says, that my troubles began. I
was dressing for church, when my cham
bermaid came up with a rural counte
nance.
If you please, Mrs. Harvey, I'm go-
ing.’
1 Going !’ I exclaimed, ‘ where ?’
‘To leave, ma’am. Home I’ve got a
spell of neuralgia coming on, and I’m
going homo to lay by.’
‘JJutyou can lie down hero if you are
sick.’
* Well, ma’am, I ain’t to say sick, ex
actly, but I’m fixing for a turn.'
* A turn ?’
* Yes. I have neuralgia in spells, ami I
always feel ’em coming.’
Words were vain. Go she would, and
go she did. I went into the kitchen to
explain to the cook that she mubt do
double duty for a time. She was a per
fect termagant, and to my utter amaze
ment she wheeled round with the cry—
* Gone ! Jane gone ! Will you get an
other girl?’
‘ Certainly.’
* To-day ?’
‘How caul get another girl on Sun
day?’
1 Ami to-morrow wash day I Well, I
am not going to stay to do all the work.
You’ll either get another girl early to-
morrow or I’ll leave!’
‘ You’ll leave now in the shortest space
of time it takes logo from here to the
door,’ cried Hurry from the sitting room,
whe re he had overheard us.
With many insolent speeches she de
parted, and,* inconvenient as it was, I
was glad to see her go.
Of course there was no church and I
began to get dinner. Harry, like a mas
culine angel us ho was, took off his coat
and came down to help me, with an as
surance that he actually could not sit still
and hear the cook use the tone she did
one instant longer. It was a merry day.
Harry raked the fire till hisglossy brown
curls were powdered with gray, which
premature sign of age was produced, he
assured me, by ‘care, and not the weight
of years.’ He pealed potatoes ho beauti
fully that they were as big us bullets af
ter he had taken off tho*skin about an
inch thick all around. Pies were the on
ly article of cookery with which I was
particularly acquainted, so I made a meat
pie, two apple pies, and short cakes lor
supper, which wo ale with the dinner at
six o’clock. It was late enough when
we cleared up, but at last all was done
but one thing. Harry was in the bath
room refreshing himself, when I dis
covered that the coal was all gone. I
bated to call him down, for he had
worked hard nil day, so I took tho scut
tle and went down into the cellar myself,
laughing to think how ho would scold
when he know it. I am a wee woman,
and not over strong, but I filled tho big
scuttle, and tugging away with both
hands, sturded up stairs.
I was at the top, my labor nearly over,
when somehow, X cannot tell how, I
lost ray balance. I reeled over and the
heavy thing came with me, down to the
bottom of tho stairs. I felt it crushing
my foot. I heard Harry’s call, then
fainted. I know now, though I did not
then, how be lifted mein his strong arms
and carried me up stairs, and tho touch
of the cold water which ho poured over
me is tho next thing I remember. As
soon as I* was conscious and able to
speak, I let him go,for a doctor, lament
ing that mother and Lou were botii of
town for tbe summer.
Weil, well: it was a weary night; no
time to scold, Harry said, so he petted,
nursed, and tended me,- till my heart
ached with its fulness of love and grati
tude. Morning found me, my fractured
ankle in a box, lying helpless in bed, and
Harry promised to send me a girl imme
diately. So after nil this long prelude I
come to “ our gai.” Oh, I must tell you
bow Harry made me a slice of buttered
toast for breakfast, by buttering the bread
on both sides, and then toasting it.
It was about nine o’clock when my
new girl came. Harry had given hern
deadlutch key, so she entered and came
up to my door. Her knock was the first
peculiarity that startled me. One rap,
loud as pistol shot, and as abrupt.
* Como iu.’
With a sweep tho door Hew back, and
iu the space stood my new acquisition.
Stop a moment! I must describe her.—
She was very lull, very robust, and voi-y
ugly. Her thick black hair grew low on
her forehead, and her complexion was
uniformly red. Her features was very
large, and her mouth full of her only
beauty, white, even teeth. Still, tho face
was fur from stupid. The mouth, though
large, was flexible and expressive, and
the big black eyes prqmlssed intelli
gence. • But, oh, how can I describe her
“ways,” as Harry calls them? She
stood for an instant perfectly motionless,
and then she swept in a low, and really
not ungraceful courtesy.
* Madam,’ she said in a deep voice,
‘ your most obedient.’
* You are ’ I said, questionably.
‘ Your humble servant.’
This was not ‘getting’on a bit; ho I
said
* You are the girl Mr. Harvey sent from
the intelligence ollice?’
'I am that woman,’"said she with a
nourishing of her shawl; ‘ and here is my
certificate of merit,’ and she look a paper
from her pocket. Advancing with a step,
a stop, another step, and stop, until she
reached my bed-side, she handed me the
paper with a low bow, and then stepping
back three steps, she stood waiting for me
"to read it with her hand clasped and
drooping, and her head bent as if it were
her death warrant.
It was a written, properly worded note
from her former mistress, certifying
that she was honest and capable, and I
had really had no choice but to keep her,
so I told her to find her room, lay oflfher
bonnet, and then come to me again. I
was half afraid of her. She was not
drunk, with those clear black eyes shin
ing so brightly, but her manner actually
savored of insanity. However, I was
helpless, and then Harry would come
as early ns ho could, and I could endure
to wait*
‘ Tell mo your name,’ I said, as sho
camo in with the stride and stop.
1 My namo Is Mary,’ stie said In a tone
so deep that it seemed to come from the
very toes of her gaiters.
* Well, Mary, first put the room in or
der before the doctor comes.’
Oh, if words could only picture that
scene! Fancy this tall, large, ugly wo
man, armed (I used the word In .its
full sense) with a duster charging at t‘ho
furniture ds if sho were stubbing her mor
tal enemy to the heart. She stuck the
comb in the brush as if she wore saying,
‘ Die,traitor!’ and piled up the books as if
they were fagots, fora funeral flame. She
gave The curtain a sweep with her hand,
us if she were putting best tapestry for a
royal possession, ana dashed the chalra
down in their places like a magnificent
bandit spurning a tyrant In his power.
Bat when she came to the invalid she
was gentle, almost caressing in her man
ner, propping mo up comfortably, mak
ing tno bed at once easy and handsome,
and stroking my hair and dress with a
perfect preception of my sore condition.
And when she dashed out of the room, 1
forgave the air with which she returned
and presented a trny to me. for the sake
of its contents. Such delicious tea and
toast, and such perfection of poached
eggs, were an apology for any eccentrici
ty of manner. I was thinking graceful
ly of my own comfort, and watching her
hang up my clothes in the closet in her
own style, when the bell rang. Like
lightning sho closed the closet door,
caught up the tray, and .rushed down,
slairs. From my open door I could hear
the following conversation, which I must
say rather astonished even me, already
prepared for any eccentricity.
Dr. Holbrook was my visitor, and of
course his first question was
* How is Mrs. Harvey this morning?’
In a voice that was the concentrated
essence of about one dozen tragedies, my
extraordinary servant replied
‘ What man art thou?”
*ls the woman crazy V cried the doc
tor.
* Lay not tlmt Muttering umn ion to your
soul!’
* M’m cried Mury,—you—’ said tlie doc
tor, musingly. Then in his own cherry,
brisk tones he added : ‘ Yon are the new
servant, I suppose?’
* Sir, I will serve my mistress till chill
death shall part ns from each other.’
‘ M’m. Well, now, in plain English,
go tell her -I am here.’
‘ I go, and it is done!’ was the reply,
and with the slow stride and halt 1 heard
her cross the entry. She was soon a tmy
door. ‘ Madam, the Doctor waits!’ she
said,standing withouearm out in h. grand
attitude.
'Let him come up,’ 1 said, choking
with laughter. She went down again.
‘ Sir, from my mistress I have lately
to bid you welcome, and implore you to
asceud. She waits withiu yon chamber
for your coming.’
Is it to be wondered at that the Doctor
found his patient in perfect convulsions
of laughter, or that ho Joined her in her
merriment.
‘ Where did you find that treasure ?’ he
asked.
‘ Harry sent from the olfioe.’
‘Stage-struck, evidently, though where
she picked up the fifth-cutuctress manner
remains to be .seen.’
The professional part of his visit over
the Doctor stayed for a chat. Wo were
warmly discussing the news of the day,
when—whew! the door flew open, and
in stalked Mary, and aunonced, with u
swing of her arm,
‘ The butcher, madam !'
I saw the doctor’s eyes twinkle, but he
began to write In his memorandum book
with intense gravity.
‘ Well, Mary,’ I said, ‘ he is not wait
ing? 1
4 The dinner waits,’she replied. Shall
I prepare the viads as my own judg
ment shall direct, or will your inclination
dictate to me ?’
‘Cook them as you will, but have a
good dinner for Mr. Harvey at two
o’clock.’
‘Between the strokes t’wili wait his
appetite.’ And with another sweeping
courtesy, she loft the room, the door as
usual, after her exit, standing wide open.
She was as good us her word. With
out any orders from me, she took it for
granted that Harry would dine up stairs,
and set the table out in my roo n. I was
beginning to let my keen seiine of ludi
crous triumph over pain and weariness,
and I watched her,strangling Urn laugh,
until siie was down stairs. To see iier
stub the potatoes and behead the celery,
was a perfect treat, and the air of n mar
tyr preparing poison, with which she
poured out the water, was perfect. Har
ry was evidently prepared for fun, for he
watched her as keenly us I did.
Not one mouthful would she bring to
me until she hud made it as dainty ns
could be; mashing my potatoes with the
movement of a saint crushing vipers, and
buttering my bread in a manner that
fairly transformed the knife into a dag
ger, Yet the moment she brought it to
me, all the affectation dropped, and no
.mother could have been more naturally
tender. Evidently, with all her nonsense,
she was kind-hearted.
1 otten questioned her about her former 1
places; discovered to my utter amaze
ment that she was never in a theatre,
never saw or read u play, and was entire
ly innocent of novel reading.
I had become so used to her manner,
aud no longer feared she was insane,
when one evening my gravity gave away
utterly, and lor the first time I laughed
in her face. She had been arranging
i my bed aud self for the night and was
just leaving the room, holding in one
hand an empty pitcher and In the other
my wrapper. Suddenly a drunkonman
in the street called out, with a yell that
really was startling, though by no means
mysterious. Like a flash, Mary struck
an attitude. Qne foot advanced, her body
thrown slightly forward, the pitcher held
out aud the wrapper waved aloft, she
cried out in a voice of perfect terror :
‘Gracious heavings! AVhat hideous
screams is those?’
Gravity was gone. I fairly screamed
with laughter, and her motionless atti
tude and wandering face only increased
the fun.
‘Go down Mary, or you will kill me!’
I gasped at last.
Apparently unconscious of the cause of
1 room, waving alternately the pitcher and
the wrapper.
To see her flourish the dust brush
would strike terror to the heart of the
most daring spider; and no words of
mine can describe the frantic energy
with which she punches pillows, or the
grim satisfaction on her face at the expir
ing agonies of a spot of dirt she rubs out
of existence. The funniest part of all is
her perfectly stolid unconsciousness of
doing anything out of the way.
Harry found out the explauation. She
had lived for ten years with a retired ac
tress aud actor, who wished to bury the
knowledge of their past life, - and who
never mentioned the stage. Retaining
in piivnte life the attitudes and tones of
their old profession, they had made it u
kind of sport to burlesque the passions
they so often imitated, and poor Mary
had unconciously fallen into thohubitof
copying their peculiarities. When they
left for Europe she found her way into
the intelligence office, where Harry se
cured her. Long, long may she remain

IMPEACHMENT.
SPEECH OF
HON. A. J. OEOSSItREXXEIt,
of FES.imrisu,
N THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
HABen 2, ISOS,
Oa tbe Articles of Impeachment Reported from
the Committee.
Mr. GLOSSBRENNER, Mr. Chair
man, If I could permit myself to disre
gard the grave consequences to the coun
try that may, and In all human proba
bility must, follow tho consumation of
what Is manifestly the purpose of the ma
jority of this House, 1 might contemplate
with pleasure tho unmistakable Indica
tions that the ultra Radicals are about to
overcome all opposition in tho consols of
the Republican party.
If I could look with mere partisan eyes
upon tho events now passing before us in
historic march I would bo inclined to re
joice at this self-destruction—tins politi
cal hari kari— of tho party which has so
long and successfully maintained Inter
nal dissontlou and estrangement through
out tho laqd, and kept alive, by wicked
. appliances contrived with devilish inge
nuity, a war which tho American people
hoped they had witnessed the termina
tion when tho confederate forces under
Generals Lee and Johnston were disarm
ed, surrendered, and disbanded.
Ho far. Indeed, from attempting to pre
vent the ellbrt to impeach the President
on the fiimsey pretext presented—dis
graceful to its inventors, even if -it were
not a mere pretext—l would, as a parti
san merely, aid in clearing tho way, and
in facilitating tho progress of the now
dominant Radicals to their doom.
What is this latest pretext for impeach
ment? The President will not consent,
until it is ruled by the judiciary that he
must submit to such insult and humili
ation, to have thrust upon him, in inti
mate official relation, in close personal
association, as confidential adviser, a man
who has permitted himself to be guilty of
what a distinguished Radical Senator has
declared “ a gentleman” or “a man of
honor” to bo incapable. This Judgment
of Senator Sherman is, by the way, ac
cepted by ail who possess a spark of man
ly instinct. Tho attempt to foist this
man into tho Cabinet of the President
against tho will of tho latter will find
speedy condemnation at tho hands of tho
people, who are always just, and who in
stinctively love fair play. It does not re
quire profound learning or much con-
Hiimptlon of oil In midnight lamps over
books of law or ethics, to reach Urn com
mon-sense conclusion that the President,
who is held responsible for the acts of his
Cabinet, should be permitted to select its
members. In the merest fairness to him
this should be a rule without an excep
tion. His counsellors should be friends,
not enemies; they should be supporters,
not opponents; they should be not only
trustworthy, but trusted ; certainly they
ought not to be acknowledged spi a in
tho Interest of his personal and political
enemies; nor should they bo persons bo
devoid of all honorable instinct as to be
willing to remain an hour in such a po
sition after an.intimation from the Presi
dent that personal association with them
is to him distasteful and offensive.
M3’ distinguished friend and colleague 1
from the Luzerne district, t,Judgo Wood
ward,) with an ability so marked as to bo 1
worthy even of hib exulted character as
a profound and conscientious jurist, has
with inexorable logic exposed and piti- 1
lessly demolished the small and shallow
facilities of those who assail the legality '
of the President’s effort to unseat tho
Stanton Incubus. My excellent friend '
from Indiana, [Mr. Kerr,] whoso clear '
perceptions of right and whoso legal
ability and acumen tho members of this
House, on all aides, when partisan preju
dice does not obscure judgment, all ac
knowledge, lias shown that “tho wise
and philosophic purpose of the framers
of tho Constitution was to keep the sever
al great departments of the Government
us distinct and separate from each other
as possible, to the end that neither should
invade the functions of the other or usurp,
the powers of that other in order to
strengthen itself, and erect a centralized
despotism on the foundations of tho Re
public.” The history of the formation
of the Government amply sustains these
views. Other gentlemen of the legal pro
fession on this side of the Chamber,
among the ablest of the House, have
shown how utterly destitute of a decent
semblance of legal support is this legisla
tive assault —I was about to say conspir
acy, but that might not be parliiuentary,
and I therefore term it assault—upon u
constitutionally co-ordinate branch of the
Government. With these arguments up
on the legal aspect of this question—for,
us exceptional cases in the debate so far,
they do indeed rise to the dignity of ar- :
gumont —L feel that the Cou.-u-rvaii. u,*.
may safely go before the people, our mas
ters, and, gentlemen of the Radical parly,
your masters as well.
But, in addition to the impregnable
positions taken by able members of the
egal profession, we have tho unerring,
sober second thought of the people upon
which to rely for a righteous judgment
upon what you are doing here this day.
Hope not to escape that judgment. Clothe
the pretended olletise of the President in
what garb of language you may; en
velope it if you will in clouds of pom
pousand stilted lexicographical mystifica
tion, still will.it not escape the discern
ment of tho people. As little will tho
popular judgment fail to preceive the
motive that prompt* this prosecution in
form,.this persecution in fact.
Feeling that, in common with “ all the
people of the United States,”-iu whoso
name the perpetration of this great po
litical crime is audaciously ami most un
warrantably to bo urged, we must bear
our share of the national shame which
even the attempt without the consuma
tion must bring; and, in common with
all mankind, our portion of the incalcula
ble injury to republican institution that
must bo involved in this measure, if, in
God’s wrath against this nation, it should
become more than an attempt, tho little
band of Democratic Representatives with
which It la my pride to bo numbered and
associated on this floor have opposed this
unrighteous movement step by step.—
Outnumbered, our rights as a minority
trampled upon, every barrier established
in the rules of the House by our predeces
sors for our protection swept away at the
behest of party impatience or party con
venience, we cannot prevent, and under
the recently emasculated rules of the
House we can no longer oven postpone,
this wrong. It is destined to prevail so
far as this House is concerned.
' The best interests of tho country must
undoubtedly suffer by an affirmative vote
on the question before us. But within
an hour this House will pass the articles
turers, all the inlercHtsof labor, mechani
cal and agricultural, will feel tho baleful
influence of this measure. Yet party ma
lignity will not be restrained by any such
considerations. Tho finances of tho Gov
ernment and the people will bo ruinously
embarrassed and deranged by this day’s
work. I can hardly conceive it possible
that the majority do not perceive this to
be inevitable. But not a moment will
this consideration delay the passage of
this indictment, por will it affect a single |
vote on tho opposite side of the House. — ■
The traditional and habitual trust of the
American people in tho security and sta
bility of republican institutions may be
impaired If not eradicated, and the hopes
of civil llhei tv in all lands may bo crush
ed and by Hie deed initiated
in this House, and now only awaiting the
formality of a recorded vote. Yet there
will be no pause In tho proceedings here.
All appeals to reason, all sense, of justice,
1 all considerations of the national welfare.
will be lost in the clamor for impeach
-1 ment.
Why, sir, but a few days ago, tho less
unscrupulous members of tho Republican
■ party In this House, a majority of that,
pnrtv, Indeed, declared formally, under
VOL. 54.—N0. 41
and by vote, after, months of search by
diligent, eager, able and impeachment
seeking committee, who spare no pains
to find some act, or suspicion of an act,
of tho President on which to hang a pre
text for his impeachment, that no such
act had been discovered. Tho President’s
words and actions had been subjected to
examination as with a microscope, with
a degree of minuteness that permitted
absolutely nothing to escape rigid scrutiny
—his private conversations and private
bank account not being exempt from im
pertinent and ill-mannered discussion
yet nothing was found involving him,
even by unfriendly inference, in any act
or deed that would warrant impeach
ment.
What lias the President done since
that verdict of acquittal, a verdict wrung
by stubborn facts from tho reluctant
judgment of his enemies? Nothing
more than to exercise a constitutional
power that has existed and been exercis
ed by every President, from the days of
tho first, greatest, wisest, and best, down
to the present hour. These gentlemen
of tho Republican party at that time de
manded triumphantly of the friends of
impeachment, us Pontius Pilate did of
tho accusing high priests more than
eighteen hundred years ago, “ What
hath tills man done?” They could only
imitate those ancient impeachera by
clamorous reiteration of their demands,
substituting the cry, “ Impeach ! im
peach!” for that of their prototypes in
Jerusalem, which was, "Crusify*! crusi*-
fy!” I make no irreverent reference to
tlie meek and lowly Nazarene, against
whom the latter cry was directed. I In
stitute no comparison between Him and
any human being, none whatever be
tween the objects of those cries. I deal
only with accusers and judges In both
cases. In each there were intemperate
and bigoted licensers and clamorous de
nudations. In each there was a Judas.
Pilate was evidently inclined to be con
servative— at first; but lie quailed before
the clamor of the Jerusalem radicals, ami
although ho “found no fault in this
man,” ho did’eonsent to Ills condemna
tion, initialing the punitory proceedings
by scourging him. If that model judge
were a member of the House of Repre
sentatives of tho Fortieth Congress lie
would probably have voted with the ma
jority on Andrew Johnson's first and
second trial before this House in favor of
acquittal. Put unless ho had become a
belter man and a more inflexible judge
than history records him the name of
Pontius Pilate would bo found recorded,
before five o’clock this evening, in the
aftlrmativeupon the pending proposition.
Proceed, gentlemen. Go to the Senate
and tell your story. You have not much
of a story to toll; therefore make tho most
of it. Parade your tell articles—preceding
tho parade with a magniiicient flour
ish, assuming that you speak for “all the
people of the United States.” This will
be peculiarly appropriate while nine
tenths of those same people stand ready
to-day to impeach and convict tho im
peuchers. Deliver your budget in small
parcels, as p'reparod, thus:
Article 1. The President of the United
States has attempted to remove JOdwin
M. Stanton from the office of Secretary of
War.
Arliole tl. He has appointed “ one Lo
renzo Thomas” to act as Secretary of War
ad interim.
The foregoing two articles would seem
to ordinary intellects to empraee the
whole mutter, hut your committee re
quire you to further represent, in
Articles. That the President did ap
point “ one Lorenzo Thomas” Secretary
of War (id interim.
Article !. The President-attempted to
oust Stanton.
Article 5. The President, on thelilst of
February, 18GS, agreed with “one Lo
renzo Thomas” to attempt to oust Blan
ton.
Article 6. The President did on the
same day twice agree with “one Loren
zo Thomas” or once with each of “ two
Lorenzo Thomases” to attempt the same
tiling. .
Article 7. The Prusidentdld agree with
“one Lorenzo Thomas” to prevent Blan
ton from holding the office of Secretary
of War.
After proceeding thus far, the Senate
will be pretty well prepared to learn, as
they will by—
Article 8. Thai the President did agree
with “one Lorenzo Thomas” to attempt
to put the latter in possession of the War
Department as Secretary of War ad in
trrhn.
And by
Article 9. That the President did ap

of War ad interim.

dent has audaciously ventured to express
an opinion as to the constitutionality of a
certain provision in an act of Congress.

as you deliver it,“ high crime,” or “ high
misdemeanor,” or ** high crime and mis

Senate might not preeeive iho character
or quality of the articles so delivered, and
might fall carelessly into the error of sup
posing that the numerous ollenses al
leged, numerously, were after nil not

Tell the Senate, in conclusion, that In
presenting these ten articles you do nut
by any moans estop yourselves from the
presentation of oilier accusations. Say
to the Senate that you will look about
and see if you can pick up anything else
that the President may have done, or
might, could v would, or should have
done, said, or thought, of a character un
pleasant to members of the legislative
** Government.”
Do tins, and you will have 'complied
with every requirementof ” the commit
tee”—you will have exhibited the per
fection of discipline—and you will be tit
led to take an humble position by the
side of your leader, who boasts that he
stands “outside of tluwtJonstitution.”
Democrats and Comrovativus can hard
ly bring themselves to look resentfully
upon the proceedings In this House upon
thlsquestion of impeachment. The whole
tiling is bald ami transparent,n political,
partisan movement that nobody can pos
sibly mistake its character, and its effects
upon the popular mind cannot but be
such as to hasten and render more em
phatic and terrible the Cate of the mori
bund organization to which we are in
debted for this last excellent argument
against its owu life. The people have al
ready prepared a grave, wide and deep,
for radicalism mid its one idea of Afri
canization. If those for whom this grave
is provided wilt insist upon digging it
wider and deeper we should not object.-
Let them proceed. The-people have for

Womens* Venerations.
If women have one weakness more
marked than men, it is towards venera
tion. /They are borne worshippers—
makers of silver shrines for some divini
ty or other, which of course they always
think fell straight down from heaven.—
Tho first step towards falling in love
with an ordinary mortal is generally to
dress him out with all manner of real or
fancied superiority ; and, having made
him up, they worship him. Now, a tru
ly great man, a man really grand and
noblo in art and intellect, has this ad
vantage with women, that he is an Idol
readymade to hand, and so that every.
fiainstaking and ingenious sex have less
abor in getting him up, and can bo ready
to worship him on short notice. In par
ticular is this tbe case where a %acred
profession and a moral supremacy are ad
ded to tho intellectual. J ust think of tho
career of celebrated preachers and divines
in all ages. Havo they not stood like
the Images “ Nebuchadnezzar tho king
set up;” and all womankind, coquette
and flirts not excepted, been ready to fall
down and worship, even before thesound
of cornet, flute, harp, saebut, dec. Is not
the faithful Paula, with her beautiful
face, prostrate in reverence, before poor
old, lean haggard, dying St. Jerome, In
the most splendid painting of the world,
an emblem and a sign of woman’s exter
nul power of self-sacrifice to what she
deems noblest in mini ? Does not old
Richard Baxter tell us, with delightful
singleheartedness, how bis wife fell in
love with him first, in spite of his long
pale face; and how she confessed, dear
soul, after many years of married life,
that she had found him less bitter and
sour than she expected? The fact is, wo
men are burdened with fealty, faith, rev
erence, more than they know what to do
with ; they stand like a hedge of sweet
peas, throwing out flutteriug tendrils ev
erywhere for something high and strong
to climb up by,ami when they find It, be
it ever so rough in the bark, they catch
upon it. And instances are not wanting
of those who have fumed away from Che
flattery of admirers to prostrate them
selves at tho feet of n genuine hero,' who
never wooed them, except by heroic deeds
and the rhetoric of noble life. —The Min

Tbe True Ntory of Cinderella.
The,story of Cinderella is familiar to
every one, and yet there, are few that
treasure it upas in every respect true. Bu t
it has a foutiduiiou and a reality that re
ally needs no fairy godmother, with her
pumpkin and her ruts, to make an enter
taining tale. It is as follows :
In about the year 1730, a French actor,
by the name of Thevenard, lived in Par
is. Hu was rich and talented, but lie had
no wife, and we may believe he had nev
er loved any one, but gave all his affec
tions to those ideal characters that he
could represent sotinely on the stage. —
One day as ho was walking leisurely
along the streets of Paris iie came upon a
cobbler’s stall, and his eye was attracted
by a dainty little shoe which lay there
for repairs. His Imagination began im
mediately to form tbo littlo foot that
must llli such a little shoe. He examin
ed it well, but only to admire it more
and more.
On going to his own house he scorned
haunted by the little shoe. Ho fancied
it tripping over his floor; he could hear
the music of its tread—in fact, there wa s
nothing among all his rich, elegant treas
ures that seemed to him half so beautiful.
He went to the stall of the cobbler
again, but could learn nothing in regard
to the owner of the shoe. This only in
creased eagerness, and made him more
determined to know to whom it belonged.
Day by day no was disappointed, but ho
was not discouraged.
At last the little foot needed the littlu’
shoe, and Thevenard met Che owner, a
poor girl whoso parents belonged to the
humblest class. But the ardent actor
thought not of taste or family. His heart
had already pronounced.the little one bis
wife,. Ho married'thegirl, with no ques
tion of what people would say, and felt
enough in joy hearing the tread of the
light, nimble feet, through his silent
rooms, to pay him for the sacrifice of peo
ples’ approval. This is the true story of
Cinderella, and from which the child ro
mance sprang.

out ” land warrants” to the negroes with

be given for a vote. " Yer vote and yer
takes yer choice,” was tho leading prin

on the sameliberul terms. Their visions
were plenty of land and an abundance of

a window. A few days ago a number of
them brought quite a quantity of these
“ land warrants” to a gentleman in this
city, on whose plantation they worked.
