A WOMAN'S QUESTION.
Before I trust my fate to thee,
Or place my hand In thlno;
Before I lot thy future give
Color and form to mine;
Before I peril’all for thee,
Question thy soul 10-nlght for me.
I break all slighter bauds, nor feel
A shadow of regret—
Is there one link within the past
That holds thy spirit yet?
Or Is thy faith as clear ahcl free
As that which I can pledge to thco
Look Deeper still. If thou cans’t feci
Within thy Inmost soul
That thou hast kept a portion back.
While I have staked the whole—
Lot. no false pity spare the blow,
But, In true mercy, tell mo so.
Is there within thy heart a need
Which mine cannot fulfill?
One chord that any otlv r hand
Could hotter wake or still ?
Speak now lost at some future day
My whole life wither or decay.
Could'.sL ihon withdraw thy Imnd one day,
Ami answer to my claim,
That fa to, ami Unit to-«hty’H mistake,
Not Umu. had been to blame?
Some soothe their conscience thus, but thou
Wilt Kiiroly warn nml save me now.
Nay. answer not—l dare not hero,
Tho words would come ton lute—
Yc( f would spare theo all remorse,
So comfort Ihce, my Fate—
Whatever on my heart may fall,
llvmi'Mihcv I uoiifd risk ll all.
OUT OF THE MIR? (T,AT.
Hope Chester wns heart-sick of pov
erty. Bhe know there were in the world
girls who had dainty boudoirs, furnished
with velvet carpets, soft fcilken curtains,
luxuriant couches; and she hud only a
poor, little, uncurpclod, tcn-by-fourtcen
room, containing nothing but a- three-
Jogged chair and a low, hard bed, which,
two-thirds of the time, she shared with a
teething baby. There was always a baby
■in the : Chester family. She bud no ap
petite for the plain, coarse food which
her father’s table, afiorded. She shud
dered at the bare walls and floors of the
tenement house in which they lived, at
tho total lack of everything but the ba
rest necessaries of J»fe.
There was nothing in the whole house
pleasant to look at but the handsome fa
ces of tbo children ; ami they, with all
their brightness and beauty, were, after
nil, a heavey burden to her pale, toil*
worn mother, her houest, hardworking
lather.
She bad a natural loveofbooka.au almost
insatiable thirst for knowledge; when
she wns twelve years were five
children, younger, and r nFathor” earn
ed only ten shillings per day. She knew
this; and when they -told her she must
leave her beloved school and “ help” by
working In tho factory, she tried not to
murmur.
She was well grown for her age, and,
after serving a two weeks’ apprentice
ship, performed a woman’s labor in the
factory, eleven hours and a half per day,
and received for it tho magnificent sum
of three dollars per week. Oh, those
weary hours spent in the dirt, the heat,
llto noise, In the company of coarse men
and women with whom she had no
thought or feeling in common. They
seemed contented with their menial
tusks; but never from the first day she
entered the mill, did she go to the dis
tasteful labor without an ashamed,
crushed, hopeless feeling in her heart.
Perhaps she ought to have been con
tented with her lot; but God had given
her a slender frame which the hard work
overtaxed, an active, hungry mind
which the long hours of labor starved,
and jesthetlo taste that her surroundings
tortured. ,
Yet she bore it bravely, glad she was
now a help instead of a burden to her
much-loved parents; and by-aucl-by, her
resistless ambition formed a plan of aelf
improveinent. Bometimos, during the
day, there would be twenty minutes or a
half hour when she would have nothing
to do but watch her machine, and this
time she spent standing on a bench
and staring down into the depths of an
uncovered box that was fastened against
them all. When tho “overseer” came
around ho saw within it only a mass of
tangled waste-yarn : but had he looked a
little deeper ho might have found some
times un English grammer, sometimes a
Common School ai ilhmotic—always
some book from which Hope was slowly
but surely gaining the elements of
knowledge.
At sixteen she determined to make a
movement for “ something better than
she had known,” and applied for a situ
ation as assistant teacher in a primary
school in the village. She was engaged
and sent to one of the town committee
for examination. As he told her, he
thought it hia duty to do the best he could
for the school, and after a few questions
showing him how limited was hep
knowledge of books, he declined to give
her a certificate. Good soul 1 he did not
know that tho great earnestness, her
boundless ambition, her tender love for
children, her purity of'heart and soul,
would have made her a far better teacher
than tho cross-grained old maick whom
he sent to rule tho hapless innocents
with a rod of iron.
Then Hope, all her bright plans de
stroyed, went back to the factory feeling
very, yery wretched. Many a time after
that she stood and looked through the
dusty, cobwebbed windows at the dark,
sullen river below, and .longed to rest
under its dark waters..
So two years passed. She was eighteen,
and all tho ohange that had come over
her was?that she now worked In a little
room by herself, earned five dollars a
week, and could sometimes do her day’s
work In eight or nine hours.
Ono bright morning, when she thought
herself alone, she was surprised to hear
a full, manly voice behind her say “ good
morning,” and, turning, she saw a hand
some, stylishly-dressed gentleman' look
ing at her smilingly. She knew him to be
Mr. Livermore, the haughty owner of
tho factories, and she blushed as she re
turned the greeting.
“ It’s lonesome in the office this morn
ing. May I stay with you a little
while?” and before she could answer,
he seated himself at alittle distance from
her work-bench. In a short time his ea-;
sy, graceful manners dispelled her em
barrassment, and, almosfbeforesh© knew
what she was saying, he had gained
from her tho history of her life and heart.
He sympathized with her, bade
for bettor days and invited himself tp
call again, which he did many times du
ring the next few weeks. Days that he
did not come he sent her beautiful bou
quets or choice fruits. One morning he
dropped in her hands at parting, a little
white paper box. Opening It after his
departure, she saw a beautiful diamond
ring glittering there. Underneath it was
a tinny note saying, “ I love you !*’ Oh,
how she trembled as she read it! Was it
true? What was there about her, an ig
norant factory girl, to interest a gentle
man like him? Poor child! she forgot
that she possessed a largo share of that
beauty that proyokes thieves sooner than
uold, and she did not even know that, lor
a woman in her station in life, it was a
.dangerous possession.
That evening he invited her to ride
with him, and then he told her a strange
story. He said he loved her better than
anything in the world, but, unfortunate
ly, he hud a wife; a heartless, fashion
able woman who cared nothing for him,
and she was no more to him than hia
housekeeper. True, he had money; but
for years, until he knew her, his life had
been lonely and wretched. “Wouldshe
not love him Just a little ?”
CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3,1868.
Wbat fascination was there about him
that, she, a pure-minded Innocent girl,
who shuddered at the thought of sin, al
lowed him, another woman’s husband, to
clasp her in Ids arras and rain such pas
sionate kisses on her cheeks and lips—
even listened in silenoo when he propos
ed that she should leave her toilsome life
and let him surround her with the luxur
ies she so much craved.
They were driving very slowly along
a broad, smooth road, shaded on either
side hy willpws and elms. As they were
leaving it something prompted her to
lean from the carriage and gaze into the
shade of a tall drooping willow on tho
left. Underneath its graceful branches
saw a grass-grown grave, and white
and cold, in the clear moonlight, gleam
ed tho marble head stone. On it was
graven, in deep letter, “ Hope Chester,
aged 50. Died of a broken heart.” While
she started at it, in'wild surprise, a slen
der bowed ligur» came and knelt at Its
foot. Then tho hood fell back, and she
saw her mother’s face, trained with snow
white hair, and heard her pray, with
‘clasped hands and streaming eyes, “ that
the great All-Father would be plentiful
to her poor lost chilli W’
With a cry of terror she drew back,
ami turning to her companion, a while
frlghtcncd-loqUing face, demanded in
quick shary tone, “What is it? What
does it mean?”
“ What There is nothing out there, 1 '
“The grave I saw under the willow!
Oh, toll me what it means?” And she
shivered in agony of terror.
He culled her a nervous little puss, and
tried to soothe her with caresses; hutahe
drew hack crying, “ Oh take mo home to
mother!” and then wept vehemently.
Wondering what was the mailer with
the gill, Mr. Livermore struck his spirit
ed horses so savagely that they sprang
forward with a bound that almost pre
cipitated himself and Hope from their
scut.
A few momentsofsuch driving brought
them to Hope’s home, and unassisted, she
sprang from the carriage aud absolutely
tied Into the house. It was eleven o’o:ock,
but a light was burning in the old kin-h
-en, and, us she pushed open the door, and
it showed her the form of her mother
kneeling by the lounge, on which the
youngest child was lying asleep. She
caught the words, “Father of'mercies
save my child! Oh for thy Son’s sake,
save my Hope !”
With a sobbing cry sho aprang'forward
and knelt by her mother, and pryaed “ to
be saved.” By-and-by a pure peaceful
light shone upon her face, and throwing
her arms around her mother’s-neck, ( sbe
whispered. “ Oh, mother, I have come*
up out of the miry clay I- God has been
good to me. Help mo servo Him.”
There were no more ioyless days for
Hope. She was contented to accept what
ever the Good Father chose to send,
knowing if He gave afflictions they were
sent in love. And God tempered the
wind to the shorn lamb.
After a while she found a true, faithful
heart, that cherished her tenderly, and
shielded her from the rough things of
life. And her happy homo, where love,
peace and plenty reign, sho cherishes her
aged parents, blesses hourly her husband
and children, and lives a true Christian
life.
How American Velvet is Made.—
The machinery for the manufacture of
American velvet, was introduced into
this country by the inventor, a Mr. Holt,
of Cheshire, England, and its superiority
in the matter of rapidity is said to bo as
great as that of the modern railroads
over the old stag© coach system. The
method is as follows: Grooved brass rods
or wires were placed under the web
which forms the pile, secured by threads
woven into the warp. The weaver cuts
the thread by means of a knife, held In
the band, the blade of which slides along
the groove, dividing the pile into two
rows of threads, thus giving a nap or pile
of the depth of the rod inserted. The
manufacture according to the patented
method, is accomplished by weaving two
warps or foundations, with a middle
warp alternately rising~into the upper
aud lower, being secured by two shuttles
moving at once. The knife moves hori
zontally, in the same direction as the
shuttle's, and the two warps and the pile
between are divided, and the naps are
cut into two equal lengths. Two piled
fabrics—the exact counterpart of each
other—are thus made at one time. The
shuttles and knives are all impoled by the
ordinary motions of the power loom. —
The statement that 110 picks or threads
are made in a minute (or nearly two
every second) will give some idea of the
rapidity of the manufacture. A man
with a patented machine can make from
lifty lo sixty yards per week, while eight
or ten yards would be a good week’s work
for the same person should ho make use
of the ordinary hand loom. To saving of
labor by this process over the wire weav
ing method estimated at from fifty to
seventy per cent, while the fabrics are
equal and in sumo respects superior, to
tboao of foreign make. The looms arc
adapted to the manufacture of piled
fabrics such as silk plush, since an article
of this nature for gentlemen’s caps has
become very popular for a substitute for
fur. Tartan, or clan velvets are also
made.
Resuscitating the Drowned, —Cases
of drowning are always occurring at this
season, and a few hints to those who go
bathing iu the neighboring streams may
do some good. The first point is, that
while there is life there f» hope. Wo
have heard of persons being under water
for unpwnrds of half an hour who were
resusicated. The following rules which
were taken from a medical work, should
be. heeded. Place the patient gently on
the face with one arm under the fore
head. so that tiny fluids may flow from
the throat and mouth. To excite respira
tion turn the patient oh. his side and ap-
Ely snuff or other irritants to his nostrils.
>aab cold water on th© face, previously
rubbed until it is warm. To Induce res
piration, replace tbs patient on his face,
when the tongue will fall forward, and
leave entrace into the windpipe free;
then turn the body gently but completely
on the side and a little beyond (when
respiration will occur) and then on the
the face, making gentle pressure along
the back, (when respiration will take
place,) alternately. These measures must
be repeated fifteen times in a minute,—
Meanwhile, to induce circultatiou and
warth, rub the limbs upward with a firm
Eressuro aud with energy, using hand

“ And what is that?”
“ Why don’t you take out a policy of
insurance on your life?”
“ Because I don’t see tire policy of it.
Shure, I must die, policy or no policy."
“ You don’t understand. If you insure
your life now, when you die the compa

her and your children from want and

“ And that would be insuring my life I
Shure I am after thinking it would be in

THE CAMPAIGN IN MAINE!
Speech of Mr. Pendleton, at Bangor.
Wo glvo below tho concluding portion
of the speech of Hon. George tl. Pen
dleton, made at Bangor, Maine, on
Thursday last:
THE DURDEN' OP TAXATION
My Friends: You cannot build your
ships, because every article that enters
into their construction is taxed so high
that the British polonies undersell you
always. You cannot employ labor, be
cause labor is compelled to pay these
taxes, and the bones and sinews and
bb»od of men cannot work to pay taxes
to bo neither fed nor clothed. You can
not carry our Western produce to other
countries, because when we have paid
our labor and taxes and transportation
there is nothing left to send abroad.—
Ygu cannot carry the Southern produce;
because under Radical reconstruction
farms have been destroyed aud the la
bor system has been deranged; three
millions of negroes have been converted
into politicians; cotton, rice and sugar,
have ceased to be staples; a garden has
been turned into a desert. A liberal
system is the life of your commerce, os
it is the hope of our Industry; yet the
tariffs must be kept high to pay interest
on our public debt, aud the daily ex
penses incurred by Republican policy,
and while it skims the rich alluvian
soil of our fertile valleys to make the
sterile rocks of Massachusetts to smile,
it destroys your shipping aud palsies
your industry, that her manufacturers
may be protected. I have stated to you
that the lust official report of the Secre
tary of the Treasury shows the debt to
be $203,358,875 GO. Of this amount fif
teen hundred aud eighty-three millions
one hundred aud ten thousand dollars
are in five-twenty bonds. I maintain
that those bond's are payable in legal
tender notes. The law under which
they are issued expressly declares that
the legal tenders are payable for every
debt due from the Government except
interest on the public debt: the bonds
■ay they arc payable in legal-tender
notes. Senator Sherman says so, Sena
tor Morton says so, Thaddeus Stevens
says so, the funding bill says so,-the
Democratic conventions of Pennsylva
nia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri,
Wisconsin, lowa, Minnesota, and Mi
chigan say so; the Democratic: conven
tion of Maine says so. The great coun
cil of the Democratic party at Now
York says so. A year ago when I as
serted this theory I had opposition
enough to justify an argument—now I
have not. 1 do not know how it Is with
your Republicans in Maine, but in Ohio
aud Indiana they (the people) are so
anxious to get on, that they threaten to
jostle mo off my own platform. [Great
laughter and applause.)
A year ago.the leading men called us
copperheads and traitors. Now they
politely say the theory is true, but alto
gether impracticable. Not at all, my
friends. Pay these bonds as they be
come due. Have the interest—save the
premium on gold. Now, where will
you get the notes ? First. The national
banks have out a cumulation of tlixee
hundred millions, secured by bonds,—
You understand this operation very
well. Three. men buy one hundred
thousand dollars worth of bonds. They
deposit them in the Treasury; they got
their six percent, interest in gold; they
get ninety per cent, in bank notes; and
this they come home here to loan at
ten, or fifteen, or twenty-five per cent.,
as they may be able to expect from the
necessities of the borrower. The Gov
ernment pays six per cent in gold to
these gentlemen for the burden of lend
ing jnoncy at twenty. Break up this
system-, call in that circulation, issue
greenbacks in its stead, take up three
hundred millions of bonds and save
eighteen millions of dollars in gold an
nually by way of interest. This will
reduce your debt, reduce your interest,
ami enable you either to reduce your
taxes or to increase your payment the
next year. Your income is at least five
hundred millions a , year. Bo honest,
bo economical. Lot the thefts be stop
ped, let robbery bo punished. Expend
one hundred and fifty millions a year,
twice as much as President Buchanan
expended—far more than general Jack
son expended in any four years of his
administration. Add one hundred and
fifty millions for interest, and yet you
have more than two hundred millionsa
year, and that sum constantly increas
ing by a large amount, with which to
pay off the public debt. In this way it
can be paid, every dollar ot it, principal
and interest, by the time it becomes
due, without adding one cent to the
circulation. It is thought advisable,
the taxes can be reduced and the pay
ment prolonged for ten years. I hear
it stated that this is unjust to the bond
holders. Not at all; you pay him all
he gave you, pay him high interest;
you pay him all you promised. Show
me a single bondholder who, if you pay
him to-day in legal tenders, with gold
at one hundred and forty per cent., will
not replace Ills outlay, and I will show
you fllty who, in addition to twelve per
cent, interest, have added in five years
forty per cent, to their principal. The
question is not whether you will pay
the bondholder what you owe, but
whether you will rob the people to pay
the bondholders what you do not owe.
[Applause.] I hear It stated this is un
just to tho people. When this legal
tender law was passed it confiscated
two-thirds of all tho indebtedness of
the country. The man who had a note
for one thousand dollars in gold was
compelled to take one thousand dollars
in paper. Tho man who had leased a
house for four hundred dollars in gold
could pay his rent with four hundred
dollars in paper. I know an instance
in my city. A man sold ills neighbor a
lot for $20,000. The purchaser was a
thrifty trader, who could make more
than sixty por cent, from his money.—
The.seller was a thriftless trader, who
could not mako bo much. They agreed
that tho purchaser should pay when lie
pleased] but in the meantime should
pay six per eeht. interest. He waited
till gold was two hundred and fifty; lie
took his $20,000 in gold, bought $50,000
legal tenders, paid $20,000 to tho seller,
invested $30,000 in five-twenty bonds,
tins drawn eighteen hundred dollars in
gold a year interest, and now is a must
loyal patriot and the loudest clamor for
payment of tho bonds in gold. Of all
my acqiiintances [applause] ho is a rea
sonably good man. They say ho is a
Christian man, and they say that every
night, as ho goes to bed lie prays Uud
that ho may do to other men as lie
would have other men do to him, mid
whou he raises his hands in prayer, Hint
Uud may deliver him from all his ene
mies, ho prays especially that ho may
bo saved from that public enemy who
wants to pay the five-twenty bonds in
greenbacks. [Loud laughter and ap
plause;] I hoar it said this system
’ will depreciate the currency and cheat
the laborer of itsjust rewards. Not at all.
Every dollar of the public debt which
is in any way paid will relievo the pro
perty of Hie country from tho mortgage
which is upon it, and by making the .
greenbacks more certain of redemption,
will increase their value. No, getio
mcn, pay these five-twenties in legal
tender notes the moment they become
redeemable. You will reduce the debt,
ion will save tho interest. You will
relievo labor of its burden. [Applause.]
Couple with tills the taxation of capi
tal to the fame extent as you tax la
bor, stop tho extensive contraction of
the currency ; expend it, if necessary,
to recover the business of the country
from the prostration which it now feels,
and you will make capital profitable.-
You will make industry contented
Your shipyards will be alive again. Our
fertile fields will yield a bountiful har
vest. Labor will perform its accustom
ed work, and bowing a cheerful head to
a burden which is always heavy will
press forward with higher courage ami
loftier step. [Cheers.] Do not misunder
stand me, I did not vote for tho legal
tender law. I opposed it. I thought it
very wrong. I was then, and am uuw,
a hard money man. I foresaw the evils
of an expanded and depreciated curren
cy ; but the law was passed. The evils
were contracted, they have been endur
ed by tho people, and X am now in favor
of extracting from the system all the
good which can bo gotten out of it.—
[Applause.]
X have no hostility to the bondhold
ers. Tho are doubtless worthy and es
timable gentlemen. I would do them
exact justice. Where we promised gold
i would pay gold. Where wo promised
paper I would pay paper. X beg of
them uowto hojust and wise. I would
not threaten, hut they may go further
and fare worse. Labor is suffering, it
may become restive. Tho Xlepublican
party has upset this whole policy. It .
insists upon paying tho debt in gold,
and exempting the bonds from tax
ation. The funding bill expresses the
whole idea. It passed both Houses. It
would have become a law except for
the adjournment. It provided that the
present bonds should bo exchanged for
other hoods bearing four and one-half
per cent, interest, payable in forty
years, principal and interest both to be
paid in gold, and to be exemt from all
State and. Federal taxation. Gold
stands to-day at upward of HO. This
bill adds at once six hundred millions
to the debt. It abandons the right of
taxation, and thus gives up more than
twelve millions in gold. It postpones
indefinitely the payment. If payment
is postponed forty years, tho debt will
never be paid at all. It will become
one of the permanent Institutions of tho
country. It tho debt should bo $2,500,-
000,000, mid should bo funded at even
four percent., the annual interest would
reach $190,000,000 in gold, and this must
be raised year by year from the labor
of the country for forty years. How
many of you will live Hurt lung ? How
many of your children will live that
long? Aud yet year by year, as long
as you live, as they live—out of their
blood, and out of their bones and sin
ews, out of their breaking hearts aud
dying bodies, these one hundred mil
lions must be earned. [Applause] Do
you know what a national debt means ?
It means hard labor, scant clothing,
brown bread and no meat. -It means
that the rich- shall be richer and tho
poor shall be poorer. It means that un
taxed capital shall pamper the idle with
luxuries, while squalor shall preside in
the cabins of the poor, and suffering
shall make his life a constant death.—
[llenewed applause.]
1 see before mo many young men.—
Are you willing to perpetuate a policy
which will forever prevent you from
rising above your present condition ?
You look forward to a few years of la
bor, and then hope to devote yourself to
trading with the capital which your in
dustry and frugality shall have saved,
lu your dreams you see a snug Cottage
lighted with the smilo of lovo, atjd
sounding with the babble of infant
tongues, over which plenty and con
tentment cast their cheering rays.—
[Great applause.] Are you willing to
give up this bright prospect, and be con
tent forever to pay to the tax-gather all
your earnings beyond food and cloth
ing 9 [tries of “ No! ho!”] Extend the
debt, and reduce the interest. No, gen
tlemen ; pay the debt and save the in
terest. llcuuco the taxes, equalize the
burdens, and industry will bo stimula
ted ; business will bo restored, enter
prise wilt be active, and labor will reap
itsjust arid adequate reward.
THE TIIOE RECONSTRUCTION.
An essential slop in this movement is
the restoration of the prosperity of the
Southern States. They constitute an
agricultural community. They are pro
ducers. Their interests are identical
with yours j their (dapples will furnish
business for your mercantile navies.
They will furnish wealth for us all.
They ought to pay their share of the
tax and of the publie debt. They will
do it easily if order is established in
their houses, and security is felt Unit
“he who sows shall reap.” Every in
sticl of selfishness, as well as patriotism,
demands that the policy of hatred and
oppression shall cease, and that those
States shall bo restored to their rights,
and the people to their liberties. [Ap
plause.]
CONCLUSION.
Fellow-Democrats, are you up and
active, and well organized for the strug
gle before you ? The eyes of the whole
country are upon you. The hearts of
tho Democracy, of the conservative men
everywhere, are with you. ' You will
fight tho first battle of this campaign.
If you win it, you will give us the pres
tige of victory; we will carry the coun
try. ’ For twenty years tho elections of
Maine have forshadowed the result in
tho West. We look always to you
with intense interest. Our hearts, our
hopes are with you. Bend us in Sep
tember the nows of your victory. [Cries

The History of Democracy
The Brooklyn Eagle, in a recent num
ber, had an article in elucidation of the
tolerance and fairness of the Democratic
party, and Its repard for equal and exact
justice to all. The argument of the Eagle
shows to the understanding of every
reader of our national history, that while
the Democracy have ever held sacred thto
vital principle of a Republican govern
ment, that the majority must rule, they
have invariably exercised the powers en
trusted to them impartially toward all.—
We quote:
“It is within the memory of the
youngest voter that the Democratic party
bad a stronger hold in every portion of
the country than the Radicals ever had
over any part of it. In 1852 ©very branch
of the Federal Government was in their
hands. Every State, with two or three
exceptions was under their control. Bid
they attempt to consolidate their power
by subverting the Constitution ? Did
they attempt to shield themselves from
opposition ny expelling a single member
from Congress or by closing its doors to
any representative who rightfully sought
admission there? Did they ever attempt
to wipe out any State government, or at
tempt to control the will of any State by
placing It under military despotism? In
obedience to the voice of the majority
they yielded up control of State after
Stale, and when under forms of the Con
stitution their opponents! claimed control
of the Federal government, though they
were not in a majority, and though the
Democrats predicted the consequences
likely to follow Mr. Lincoln’s election
they yielded as they were bound to do,
without any equivocation or hesitation.
What newspaper was‘'ever suppressed;
what individual was ever arbitrarily ar
rested ; what Representative In Congress
was ever silenced under a Democratic
administration for opinion’s sake, In or
der to shield, itself from opposition? The
history of the Democratic party is the
history of the, country’s greatness, and
he who writes the history of its misfor
tunes will begin his narration with the
downfall of that party.” «
