Did she happen to men tion the youAg lady's name?’ * Yes, sir She call* d her Miss Eva.’ ‘Eva! What a charming mime!’ mu nil u red Willoughby to himself, and lien lie added aloud : ‘Thai will do. June, thank von.' Mr* Willoughby Vane was a bachelor, twenty-eight ears old, indolent and tol eiahlv good-looking. He lived with a widowed mother in a pleasant house on the Clapham road, hnd having nothing else to.do, had fallen desperately in love with bin pre'ty neighbor, and anxiously nought an opportunity lor an inlroduc tion. However, having discovered the name of his fair enchanirebs, he deter mined to address her anonymously by letter. Having decided upon taking ,tbia step, ie next tiling to lie done was to put it into execution ; anil, having shut himself up in bis little study, alter many Jutile attempts, he succeeded in iruming an epUtle to the lady to his satisfaction; beg ging ber, if she valued his peacem mind, to return an answer to ‘ \V* V., The Postotiice, Claplmm-cominon,’ Thntdone he went out for a walk, and dropped the letter into the nearest box. •Regularly, three times a rf av< n week afterward, he called at the poatonice to see whether an answer hud arrived for him. As the week advanced, Willough by began foJose his appetite, mid -grew so restless and irritable, that Mrs.'Vane, like a loud mother, fancied that her dear boy was unwell, aim begged him to consult their medical attendant. But her son laughed at the Idea, knowing well i hat is complaint was beyond the doctor a skill to cure. He was beginning to despair of ever receiving a reply, when to his great do light, on the seveniLP.morning, aJetter was handed to him by the pust-mistresa, written in a dainty lemale hand, and ad dressed to I W. V.’ Almost unable to conceal his emotion, he quilted the shop, broke open the seal, and drank, iu the contents. They were evidently of a pleasing na ture, for lie read the letter over and over again, kissed the envelope, putit Into Ida breast coat pocket, and hurried home to see his it>amora<u Inukingout of the win dow of the oppo.-Ite house, as usual. For a moment his first impulse was salute her respectfully ; but Immediately afterward he bethought himse'f as be was still in cog, the young lady would, perhaps, feel insulted by the action. Besides, how comd she have any idea (hat he was ‘ W. V.,?’ iSo he went .in doors, and amused hin self for three hours in inditing u reply t) her letter, which he posted the same afternoon, ana, in due course, a second answer arriv.eiL And so mutters went on, a constant in terchange of letters being kept up for a fortnight, during which time Mr Wil- loughby Vane spent his days in running to and from the postotUce, writing let ters, and watching his fair neighbor from tiie window of the dining-room.. ‘Confound it I’ he Would sometimes say to himself. ‘How very provoking the dear girl is! She will never look IhU way. Ido wish I could catch her eye, if only for a moment. What a horridly eour-lookingold crab the mother is! De pend upun it, Willoughby, that poor child is anything hut happy at home with those two old fogies. Indeed her letters hint us much. And having given vent to his feelings he would put on his hat ami walk to the postofilce, or shut himself in Ids room, ami compose another ids ‘ Dearest Eva.’ At length, three months having flown rapidly away in this manner, he received a letter one morning from the you ug Judy, which ran as follows: ‘To W. V.—Hir: A,* it is useless to continue a,correspondence in this man ner, I think it Is now time for you to throw off your incognito, a fid reveal your true name and position to one to whom you are no totally indifferent.

I may aNo add tjjat your features are not all repulsive to Eva.' ‘Bless her! What a delightful little soul she is!’ ejaculated Willoughby. And he went out, ordered a new suit of clothes, and hud his hair cut. BENTZ & CO. f.iulknl A BACIIEI.OK’N IMIEA^I A POSTAL COURTSHIP.

Come and read the parliamentary debates to mo; If jou have nothing else to do.’ The worthy lady was a red-hot politi cian, and for more hours she kept him at this deligirtful tusk ; at the expi ration of which time he succeeded In es caping to his own room, where he'wrote the following note to Eva : ‘Dearest Eva I am overjoyed at the contents of your brief communica tion. If, as you say, my features are not altogether repulsive to you, may I hope that you will consent to be mine— mine only? Willoughby. Buck came the reply next morning: ‘ Dear Willoughby Your reply has made me feel very happy. It is very dull here: no society except father and moth er. I long for more congenial compan ionship. Thine, Eva.’ In this delightful manner the days flew on—halcyon days, too, they were for Willoughby, and sweeter by the inter change o( this .and similar lover-like correspondence. On the following Mon day morning Mrs. Vane left town on a visit to some friends in Devonshire, leav ing her son to keep at home. That same afternoon one of Uapt. Black’s ser vants brought the following note for Willoughby: ‘Willie: Havo you any objections to my telling my deurfather all? Matters have gone so far that it will bo impossi ble for .either of us to retract what we have written. Let us take papa into.our confidence*- I know his kind and gener ous nature well, and have no fear that he will oppose our union. ’ Pray send me a line by bearer.

Fear not thatl shall ever retract Lite without you would be a desert with no.basis to brighten it. Yours until death, Willoughby.’ That evening, just ns Willoughby had finished dinner, he heard u 1» ud double km ck at the street-floor, and on it being opened a strange voice inquired, in a ioud tone: * Is Mr. Willoughby Vane at home?' His heart heat violently us June, enter ing tiie room, said : • A gentleman wishes to see you in the library, sir?’ And she handed him a card, inscribed ‘Capt. Choker Black, C* j&, H.

Have I the pleas ure ot addressing Mr. Willoughby Vane?’ • Willoughby bowed ‘Then, sir, of course you know the business that has brbught me here?’ Terribly nervous, and scarcely knowing whut answer to make, .our hero bowed again. • Come, come, sir, don’t be afraid to speak out!.

Very ex peditious, upon mv word ! Ha ! lia ! ha ! Pray excuse me for laughing, but the idea is somewhat comical.’ As the captain appeared to be In a very good hunity*, Willoughby's courage ‘‘be- gan-to rise. ‘Don’t mention it, air.

But harkye, air, business is busi ness. lam a plain, blunt man, and Ilf teen years sojourn with one’s regiment in India dosen’t help to polish one. First of all, then, what are your prospects? 1 And the captain drew a note-hook from hia pocket, and proceeded to examine our hero as If lie was in a court of justice. •Yon arean only son, I believe?* * I am.’ ‘Good.* And down went the note in the pocket-book. ‘ Your aye ?’ 1 Twenty-eight next birthday.* ‘ Twenty eight. Good. Is your con stitution healthy ?* * I believe so. I have had the measles; whooping-cough and mumps.* w * Disorders peculiar to infancy.

Then, waving his hand, he added, ‘ illow me to introduce to you ray wife ann daughter.’ Willoughby looking exceedingly fool ish as helbowed to the two ladles.

Paris and Belgium have been ransacked for months to find lilting satins, laces, coats and gaiters; foreign etftjuette and manners had tobe studied for the ceremony. Americanisms of all kinds were to be ostracised, except ices, flowers and cake; the wines aud liquors were smuggled on the Prince Edward Island reciprocity trip. To make this tile sensation ol the day, every Washing ton reporter, for the past three moons has been liberally paid to. announce the ap proaching nuptials- NoUaly can blame a father for feeling rejoiced at Ami I® feel chagrined at the course .SkWVWeaua* naturally she 5a a grace ful, modest, and diffident young Jadv. — Ten thousand ’ eager sight seers were around the church to get a peep at the bride and bridegroom, and'ten thousand were at the garden reception afterwards; -the telegraph wires from Cape Breton to Han Francisco teemed with fluttering minutile written to order; the wedding presents were small, to be sure, but the “old man ,r didn’t care. He expended $25,000 to make up this occasion. And for what? That the people may know that he lias the family material all ready to preside in Napoleonic grandeur at the White House after Grant has been *• bottled up.” In order that our readers who may visit Washington in 1873 may know how the housekeeper looked on her wedding eve| we extract the follow ing bl»s of her personnel: — The bride .has added to natural graces and endowments a rare cultivation of so* *clal charms. In cdmplection she i» blonde, with wavy tresses of abundant auburn hair, and light blue eyes, which kindle with animation in conversation. Her figure is almost faultless—tall, straight, queenly. She stands at an ex act height with the bridegroom, live feel from head to .top. The stately, commanding form of Miss Blanche, who hail reigned belle of Washington, and who would adorn any court with grace, was dressed in a heavy white Velours silk, cut very full, with an extremely long train, the corsage out low, and the ample skirt trimmed with a deep flonnqpof Duchess luce. She wore an over-dress, also, of Duchess lace, and a beautiful veil of while illusion, fastened with oran ,r e blossoms at the forehead, swept the full length of the dress. Orange flowers were profusely scattered about the dress, and these and a point-lace fun completed the bridal apparel, save the ornaments—bracelet, ear-rings, brooch, etc.—which were pearls elegantly ami richly set- in sold. Each dress was looped with different colored flowers. Hurrah for republican simplicity I-r- Hnrrah for the next President of. the United States and hia daughter—Mrs. Senator Ames I Highfalutin —A country girl once went to tho city to pay n visit to one of her old and best frlpnda. This friend was married to a rich pity merchant, and was n leader of fashion. In city etiquette, of course the visitor was verdant, and made* numerous inlatakes. Her friend wished to initiate her fully into the ‘mysteries,’ and as they were goin«- to a large ball, cave her the following in structions, vis: ‘Eat only one amah cake and one saucer of ice cream, anil when your attendant presses you. to take more, answer that you have masticated n suffi ciency, and more would he a superfluity.* Things went on smoothly until her at tendant asked her to partake of-more re freshments. when to the horror of her friend and amusement of the company, she answered In a loud voice: ‘I have evaporated insufficiently; any more would go flippity-flopity.’ Wftex a believer prays, he is not alone, there are three with him : The Father seeing the secret, His ear open; the Son, blotting out sin aud o'fTerlng.np prayer; the Holy Ghcst, quickening and giving desire. There can be no true prayer without these three. A formal fashionable visitor thus ad dressed a little girl: ‘How are you, my .dear?’ ‘Very we11,.1 thank you,’ she replied. Toe visitor then added : ‘Now, my dear, you should ask how I am.’— The child simply and honestly replied: ‘I don’t want to know.’ A‘‘man out west, who read that dry coperns put In a bed of ants would cause them to leave, put some in his mother •ln-law’s l»ed, to see If she wouldn’t go.— Ho says she was there at last accounts.!.

AKFRJIA.V OS UEOUUIA I’OI.IMC.V Despite the manifold wrongs and op pression which the people of the South have suffered, andcontinne to suffer, by the reconstruction experiment, there is no reason why they should despond. They may begin to lift up' their heads, for the day of their redemption drawoth nigh. There are many important dif ferences .between the first and the sec-, end elections under the Reconstruction acta. In the first, the presence of an army, the terrors of martial Jaw, and the electioneering activity oflheFreed men’s Bureau, cowed and overbore the people. In the second, these impedi ments to free political action will not exist. In the first elections, many of tlie white citizems stood aloof and for bore to act, stiffly refusing to recognize the Reconstruction acts even by voting against their authors. In the second elections, this fastidiousness will have disappeared. The whole mass of Con servative citizens will take an active part In the canvass and go in their full' strength to the polls. These groat changes will enabletheSouthern whites to mount into.the saddle and control the Hlate governments which the Radi callshaveso laboriously reconstructed. In the elections held and to bo held this summer and fall, the chief obstruc tions are the Radical officials who were put in charge of the State governments by military coercion. Negro voting is no serious obstacle, as the negroes can bo managed where they are numerous, and defied where theyaro in a minority • In Kentucky, whoso State government has never been reconstructed, the elec? tinn was easily carried by the Demo crats, without takingany pninstoeourt or conciliate the colored voters, who exercised their privilege for the first time under ti e Fifteenth amendment. The Kentucky Democrats made negro voting of little account, because they did not have to confront a set of State officials foisted into authority by Federe al' bayonets. In North Carolina the conditions were different,.-yet this State has also been carried by the Democrats in spite of both negro suffrage and a hostile State government; but the chief obstacle wqs not negro voting, but Hold en’s martial law supported by Grant’s bayonets. It is regular enough lor the Governor or Legislature of a State to a only to the Federal government for assistance in suppressing a domestic in surrection ; but if the state government is in unsafe hands and the Federal au thority connives r.t its abuses of power, a sot of scoundrelly State officers may subvert the freedom of elections. This 19 iiau it uo ... * •- VT tl. i~l 1 ina, and *yct tho Democratic party triumphed. In the other reconstructed States, ex cept Virginia, the State governments are also in possession of the Radicals ; but if the Federal government does not interfere they will probably be dispos sessed in the next elections. In Georg ia they makenpublicconfessionoftheir inability to keep control of the State by refusing to hold an election. Tho Radi cal Legislature and State officers pro-- pose to hold over for two years longer, after the expiration of the term for which they were elected. Their pretext is that, up to this time, the State govern nient has been merely provisional, and that the terms of the officers did not begin until it was finally accepted by Congress. Tile real motive which lies under this pretext is the foregone cer tainty that if they hazard an election they will be flung out of power. The shallowness and dishonesty of the pretext has been exposed from an unexpected quarter. Attornoy-Gerioral Akerman, himself a citizen of Georgia, has written a vigorous and manly let ter on this subject from which we can not withhold our praises. He explodes the arguments and denounces the mo tives of those tricksters of his own party and his own Stale with refreshing vigor and scorn. We are glad says the World to introduce into our columns anything from a Republican source so fair and able as the following extract from Mr. Akerman’s admirable letter: * Concede, for the sake of the argument, that the government has been ‘‘provis ional,” has that word any magic poison fatal to constitutional life? May not a provisional government still be a consti tutional government? The only defini tion of provisional government applica ble to our case Is found in the recon struction act of March 2, ISG7, which declares that “umll the people of said rebel States shall he by Jaw admitted to representation in Congress of the United Stales any civil government which may exist therein shall be deemed provisional only, and in all respect subject'to the paramount authority of the United States at any time to abolish, modify, control, or supersede the same.’.’ A provisional government, then, is oue which may at any limebeabolished,modified,controlled or superseded by the paramount authori ty of the United Slates. That legislature, has had Georgia under serious considera tion for the last two years, and has thought proper to effect her civil govern ment In important particulars; but it has not destroyed her constitution. A prime reason for its action was a departure by the legislative bodies of the State from that very constitution in the exclusion of the colord members. Concede, then, that Congtess has had a right to destroy this constitution, the right has not (>een exercised, and the constitution lias stood and still stands in force. Does'the constitution require an election next fall? It provides that the Senators chosen at the first election frt>m the twenty-two odd districts shall only hold their office for two years, and that the members of the Houseof Representa- tives shall bo elected for two years. It provides that the flrst meeting of the General Assembly-slmll be within ninety two days after the adjournment ol the convention which framed the constitu- tion, so that the Senators who were to hold their otllues for only two years and the Uepresenalives who were to hold their olllees for two years were to belong to a body that should assemble within ninety days from the eleventh day of March lSi>S. The present Legislature did so assemble, aud no other body pretend ing to be a Legislature of that Slate did the same. A special ordinance of the convention added to the flrst terms the remaining portion of the year ISdS, but m no other way extended the terms. The greater part of the men who were elected in April, I££S, as members of our Gener- al Assembly, and who were sworn ns such to support thutcoustitudon, iu July, [BOS, have ever since been acting us such ; they have passed laws as such, chosen VOL 5T.-NO. 11 certain officers as such, taxed the people as such, received pay us such, and now it is claimed by some that these gentlemen may, by there own act, extended there terms two years longer, make laws for two years longer, tax the people two years longer, and receive pay as members two years longer. There is not one of. hese Representatives or Senators from he odd districts who will say that when he was before the people as a candidate in April, IBGSI lie supposed that bo was to serve by virtue at that election after 1870; or that one of the men who voted for him expected him to servo after 1870. Not one of the Senators from the even districts will say that lie at the time of his election expected to serve after 1872 hy virtue of that election, or that one of hi* constituents expected him so to serve. Can it be right in u republican govern ment to overreach the people in so mo ferial a concern ? From what source do these gentlem°n derive their power? Ot course they will say from the people. Have the two years’ men any delegation from the people to serve them after 1870? Have the four years’ men any delegation from the people to serve them after 1872? The vitals of republicanism are in the doctrine that legislators ar« the agents of the people. If a two j'ears man. by vir *ue of a legislative act, serves after 1870, he will not be serving us the agent pf the p> ople, but by vlrtue.of an unprecedent ed usurpation of it. If the government bos been provisional all the-while, by whose fault is it? If'the Legislature was improperly’ organized in July, ISOS, by whose fault was it? If au outrage was perpetrated in September, 1808, in ex cluding, the colored members; if the na tion was aroused by that outrage to a stern indignation against the powers who thus got control of the Georgia Legisla- ture, by wlione fault was it ? If our Slate has remained in an anomalous condition; if our people have been in painful sus pense and uncertainty ;if the whole country, lias been offended by and per plexed by the slate of things in Georgia, whose fault lias it been? The answer must be,'by the fault of, life Legislature of Georigia; aud shall that Legislature make its own errors the excuse for pro longing its own existence? Shall those who have grievously offended be specially privileged because of that very ollenco? Some draw an argument of -prolonga- tion from the provisions in the constitu tion that “the General Assembly may change the time of election, and the members shall hold until their succes sors are elected and qualified,” That, strangers to Georgia politics should be misled by this language is, perhaps, not# very wonderful, but when mi intelligent Georgian uses It for such a purpose I find it hard to believe him serious. Every such man must know that a constitution should be so construed, if possible, that all parts of it can" stand together, and that the above provisions were in [ended as u repeal of the other provisions which limit the terms to two.and four years. He must know that the first of the above provisions whs intended merely to give the Legislature a discretion to change the day of electlon,if another day should be found more convenient, but never so to change it as to effect the constitutional terms, and that the other was intended •to give the old members a right to sit if a session should be held in the interval between the election and the lime fixed for the assembling of the new body. A small argument is sometimes mad* that the terms ought to be extended in order to do full jusrice to the colored members, who were shut out from September,'lB6B, until ..anuury, 1870. I call it a small ur uppear upon a slight examination. The principles which it would establish will demund'the doubling,of the official term of every legislative Indy whenever in a case of contested election a member lawfully chosen shall be found to have been kept out of his seat for u time—an occurrence at almost every session of every Legislalure, national or Stale. Less than thirty men were shut out of a Leg islature to which they'lawfully belonged; therefore, one hundred and ninety-men in addition to the Thirty must bo allowed to make laws for the people for two years longer than the people have given them authority. Because the people were for a season deprived of the services of about one-seventh of the men who. have been chosen to te- resent them.,therefore they must submit to the remaining six-seventh for two years longer than the authorized period. Because the people have been-’ wronged in one-seventh they must, there fore, be wronged for two years and .six sevenths. To state these propositions is enough to show their absurdity. What- ever rights to compensation theexcluded members that have been satisfied by puy for the period during which they did not actually serve. Whatever erroneous leg islation there was during that period cnuld'have been corrected by the ’body since their resumption of their lawful places ; so neither justice to the excluded members nor justi e to the Stale requiies that the Legislature should be kept in being two years-longer on their own ac count. They'and their injured constitu ents have received all the just reparation which tlie nature I think allows. You are all Republicans, and therefore F will say a word to you of the party as pects of the mutter. An apprehension has been expressed that we shall lose the Stele if ah election is held.next full. We may better lose the Stale than keep it wiongfully. If we lose the State in a fair election, though it may be disagreea ble, yet we shall have no right to coni-, •plain. It iu one of a freeman’s privileges to vote perveisely when so minded, and if the majority choose so to vgte the rest of us must submit for the time, and trust that reflection and exper’enco wjjl bring them in the end to sounder politic^ Important to Illbcliurg'cd Soldiers, A circular letter has been Issued by the Secdnd Auditor of the Treasury, dated August 1, slating: 1.

Of course' there are many who do not tolerate onion under any circumstances, but let' those who like both onlonsand tomatoes try it.
