"The sails are set, and the breeze is up,
And the prow is turned for a Northern sea;
Kiss my cheek and vow me a vow
That you will ever be true to me!"
"I kiss your cheeks, and I kiss your lips;
Never a change this heart shall know,
Whatever betide--come life, come death—
Darling, darling, I love you so!"
Oh, but the Northern nights are keeut
The sailor clings to the frozen shrouds:
A kiss burns hot through his dreams of home,
And his heart goes South through the flying
clouds.
The maiden laughs at the garden gate--
Dreams of love are the soonest o'er!
Kisses fall on her lips and hair,
And the world goes on as it went before.
—Lippincott's Magazine.
The ruby shine of a well filled grate dif
fused an atmosphere of summer heat and
softness through Mrs. Nair's snug sitting
room, where a glad little canary warbled
in the sunshine over a stand of flowers, in
whose noidst rose up a large Easter lily,
with a blossom like a scroll of white velvet,
and a golden torch burning within. While
on the centre-table, a crystal globe of
ferns waxed softly, a souvenir of summer
woods coaxed to grow in defiance of the
record of the out-of-doors thermometer;
and Mrs. Stephen Nair herself, a plump,
dimpled young matron, something after
the "dumpling" order of womanhood,com
pleted the picture of home-comfort very
prettily, as she sat embroidering a pair of
slippers in a blue Cashmere morning
wrapper, and the tiniest of coiffures of
blue ribbon and lace bouillonnee. Mrs.
Nair liked to wear caps—probably because
her brown hair was so bright anti thick,
and because there wasn't the least neces
sity in life for it. If she had been forty
five and bald on top of her head, doubtless
she would have gone by the " rule of con
traries," and left off caps. Women, are
women, and you cannot always account
for their caprices.
Sybil Bexley sat opposite, a tall, lovely
girl, not unlike the stately Easter lily in
her style, with lustrous golden hair and
snow pure complexion, whose blonde
beauty was well relieved by her crimsom
walking dress; and as she sat there, she
was unconsciously busying herself by
tying her pocket handkerchief in a series
of Gordian knots, while tears slowly
welled from her blue eyes, hanging like
pearls an instant on their long lashes, and
then splashing down upon the satin trim
ming of her sleeves. Poor Sybil! she was
past caring whether the costly material
would " spot" or not.
" Oh, Clara," she said piteously, " I am
so very, very unhappy! for you know I
never shall really love any one but Harley
Winter as a woman ought to love a man
whom she calls husband."
NOTES, &C
"I am sure," said Mrs. Nair, a little
shortly, " the question is plain enough.
If you feel toward Harley Winter as you
say you do, it would be t!ownright treach
ery to throw him over in favor of this
other man. I don't see how you can hesi
tate between the two for an instant—but
you never had a mind of your own, poor
little Sybil!"
" Clara, do you think I am doing very
wrong?" faltered the fair ; tall blonde.
"Sybil," said Mrs. Nair, dropping her
slipper with the central rosebud half
worked, " you never would be such an un
mitigated goose as to marry Mr. Bunker,
if you don't love him!"
Pretty Sybil flushed, and then grew pale.
Clara, I'm not as firm as you, and
papa and mamma are so determined
about it; they like Mr. Bunker, and—"
" Then let them marry him!" interrupt
ed Mrs. Nair. "Mr. Bunker, indeed! A
fat, spectacled old tortoise—old enough to
be your father, Sybil. I've no patience
with c ra ,
66 !II
" Well, I haven't! A woman ought to
have will and energy enouKh of her own
to resist forty old wooers with forty pots
of money to back them. What if Winter
is poor? Isn't he In a flair way to be rich
one of these days? What was Herodotus
Buniter, I'd like to know, but a two-penny
store-keeper when he was of Harley Win
ter's age? I don't care if he is my hus
band's cousin—lhelsa pompous old donkey,
for, all that; and if you do marry him,
why you'll deserve to be unhappy.
That's all I've got to say."
Clara Nair spoke with emphasis. She
was too difibrently constituted to compre
hend the shrinking weakness of her sister's
nature. As well might the straight young
poplar understand the clinging fragility
of the ivy vine!
" But, Clara, they have promised—"
"They! How conk/ you let them, Sybil?"
"I—l could not help it, Clara. And
so, next April—"
"Oh, Sybil, Sybil!" said Clara, despair
ingly. "And poor Harley Winter—the
noblest fellow that ever drew breath of
life!"
Sybil began to cry, piteously and pas
sionately.
"Clara, you are too bad. As if I were
not miserable enough already, you too load
me with reproaches!"
"Sybil, you yourself confess that you
do not love this man.""
" Mr. Bunker? No, certainly I do not!"
"And you love Harley?"
"As truly and earnestly as ever Woman
loved man."
"Then I'd run away to the Andes of
Equador before I'd sacrifice myself to the
`s-~
THE OLD STORY.

SYBIL'S LOVERS.
plots and !dams of those who esteem Wealth
the highest of earthly possessions!”
Still Sybil wept and shrunk. Poor
child! To her Mrs. Nair's revolutionary
doctrines appeared perfectly impracticable.
It was her naturo to be led and guided,
nor dared she to rebel.
" I declare," said Mrs. Clara, pacing up
and down the room like an infuriated little
wild animal, " it's outrageous! it's atro
cious! I won't have it!"
Sybil emerged from behind the eclipse of
her pocket handkerchief and listened.
Clara could do almost everything that
brave, ready-w itted ,resolute sister of hers—
it was not absolutely impossible that she
might find a way for her, Sybil Bexley,
out of this Slough of Despond, deep and
trackless though it seemed.
"Clara!" she faltered; "oh, Clara—if
you could help me!"
"Hold your silly little tongue!" brisk
ly interrupted Clara, contradicting her
brusque words by a kiss. "Go home; I
wouldn't trust you with my plans any
more than I would trust my canary bird
with the cat's dinner!"
" But you'll tell me a little of—"
"No, I won't! I shall not tell you a
single word! Go home, I say!"
So Mrs. Nair resolutely dismissed her
tall, pretty, helpless sister.
" I dont't like these grown up children,"
soliloquized Mrs. Nair. " I hope to good
ness Harley will remodel her when he is
married to her. Unless he likes a milk
and water diet better than I do, he proba
bly will."
Mr. Herodotus Bunker, a stout, elderly
gentleman of respectable mein, was sitting
in his office, tossing his feet on the fender,
that evening at dusk, as Mr. Nair entered.
" Hollo, Nair, is it you?" cried Mr.
Bunker with a welcoming beam in his
fishy eyes. "Glad to see you. Take a
chair. Is there anything I can do for
you? Because, you know," he added,
with a chuckle, "we're going to be rela
tions—or at least connections—and I be
lieve in what canny Scots call clanship."
" Thank you," said Mr. Nair, a hand
some frank-looking fellow of some two or
three and thirty summers: " I was just
going to ask a favor of you."
" The money market is pretty tight just
now," muttered Mr. Bunker, " but—"
" Oh, it hasn't anything to do with the
money market," interrupted Nair. Mr.
bunker brightened perceptibly, like a fat
cabbage-head after a shower. " Only I'm
obliged to go to Detroit for a week on
business, and I feel a little nervous about
Clara and the children; so if you'd just
take up your quarters there, and see that
things are all right during my absence—"
" With agood deal of pleasure," inter
rupted Mr. Bunker, for, like John Gilpin
of old, "he had a thrifty mind," and
thought of the board bill which would
thereby be saved his purse. " Stay away
just as long as you like, my dear fellow.
I'll keep an eye to your interests."
"You see I wouldn't trouble you, only
Clara is nervous and timid, like our little
Sybil," (Mr. Bunker's countenance here
became rippled by a little smirk.) " They
are wonderfully alike, sir, those two
sisters."
" Alike, are they?" said Mr. Bunker,
mentally thinking that there would be an
excellent opportunity to study something
of his sweetheart's character, at second
hand.
"As two peas. And so you see, Mr.
Bunker," added Mr. Nair, jocosely, "it
will be a nice chance for you to get your
hand in at housekeeping. Of course you and
Sybil intend to have a home of your own."
"Oh, certainly, certainly! I've had
quite enough of hotel lifts; and, besides, you
have no idea how horribly expensive it is.
Why, a man can't get decent board short
of eight dollars a week, and there is wash
ing—another dollar! Nine dollars a week,
sir—why it's positively outrageous! And
I've always heard that two could live
cheaper than one, for —"
" Oh, there's no kind of doubt about it, N
put in air, coughing violently behind a
pocket handkerchief. "And you'll come
early to-morrow morning? I leave oaths
seven train. You'll find my check book
in the secretary. Clara will give you the
keys."
"AU right, sir," quoth Mr. Bunker.
Early as it was when he arrived next
morning, he found Mrs. Nair impatiently
awaiting his coming.
" I'm so glad to see yon, Mr. Bunker,
for—"
" Call me Herodotus," he blandly inter
posed, " shall soon be your brother."
" Ilerodotus, then," said Clara, with an
involuntary twist of cherry lips, " be
cause Stephen forgot to give me the money
for the week's housekeeping bills."
"Flow much is it?"
" Seventy dollars."
Mr. Bunker started as if he had been
shot, and regarded Clara impressively
through his spectacles.
" Mrs. Nair, do I hear you aright? Did
you say seventy dollars or seven?"
" Seven-ty I It's what I always have."
"Does it cost seventy dollars a week to
keep house?"
" Well, yes, generally. Some weeks I
have managed with sixty, but seventy is
our general average. I like to have things
nice," added Mrs. Nair, demurely; "and
dear Sybil is just like me. And while you
are about it, Mr. Bunker,—llerodotus, I
mean—you may as well give me ten dol
lars. Sybil and I are going shopping to
day, and we must have a carriage."
"Wouldn't it b 3 more healthy to walk?"
Oh,Sybil could never stand the fatigue.
" Omnibus fare is—"
Mrs. Nair frowned.
"Do you imagine I would expose Sybil
to the crush and inconvenience of a com
mon omnibus?"

gather Abalsane. CO*
lleTcitLEn, of Easton; has been
appointed chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee. Who' is he ?
THEY say that Sam Randall is disgust
ed at Mr. Packer's action in appointing
some one else chairman of his committee.
THE "Poor man's candidate," Asa
Packer, was thrown into the canal once
for refusing to pay his help living wages.
TILE Ohio Democracy denounce the
tariii: Why did the Harrisburg Conven
tion omit to give expression to their views
on the question ?
THE Democracy are weeting their
strength in vain. A forty million horse
power can't drag the dead weight of Pack
er successfully through the campaign.
THE Philadelphia Sunday Republic says
the Democracy has renewed its attacks e&
the Grand Army of the Republic. It is
only butting its capet against a granite
wall.
As a packer, Ase, Packer cast over Cass,
an overcast that cast over a $lOO,OOO pack.
The people will now cast Packer and Pack:
er's pack where Cass was east, and thus
as a packer, Asa Packer will be overcast.
CoNsIsTENc y is a jewel unknown to the
modern Democracy. They denounce Grant
because he wont make public speeches, and
nominate a man that cant, however great
his desire.
COI.. FITZPATRICK killed his wife at
Edgefled, S. C., on a Monday,'and attend
ed her funeral the succeeding Wednesday,
in the company and custody of a police
officer.
TIIE Democratic journals of Pennsyl
vania arc in a muss about their candidate's
name for Supreme Judge, some of them
printing it Pershing, and some, more in
accordance with the "eternal fitness of
things," Perishing.— Chicago Post.
TIIE difference between Andy Johnson
and Asa Packer is, Andy began with Al
derman and went up. Packer began with
President and is coming down. Who
knows but that he will next turn up as a
candidate for Alderman in Mauch Chunk.
Who can deny that Asa Packer was a
patriot during at least a part of the re
bellion, when at the moment th tit he
thought his railroad and coal property
were in danger he promised a continuance
of wages to such of his operatives as would
volunteer ?
B. B. STRANTI and J. B. Niles, mem
bers of the list House of Representatives
have been renominated by the Republi
cans of Tioga county. Potter county wilt
doubtless endorse the nominations. They
must be fond of " roosters" up that way.
Strang was " chief cook and bottle wash
er," for the legislative " ring" last winter.
Tftz Democrats depend for victory up
on Packer's money. He will no doubt
spend freely ; but a quarter of a million,
and all the whisky and lager that can be
purchased thrown in gratis,won't win this
time. As some one has observed, sense
and not cents will carry the election this
year, and we have a monopoly of sense in
our candidate.
A DEMOCRATIC journal says the Ger
mans' who have deserted the Democracy,
used to be the backbone of the party.
Just so. And many of the leading repre
sentative men of the Republicad -party
used to be the brains of the Democratic
party. The bone and sinew thereof, the
yeomanry of the land, are now the bone
and sinew of the Republicans. This leaves
nothing for the Democracy but matter,
and a very poor quality of matter it is.
THE ceremony of laying I the corner
stone of the Hospital of the Insane of the
Northern District of Pennsylvania, will
take place on the site for the new building,
near Danville, at 11 o'clock a. m., ea
Thursday, the 26th inst. His Excellency,
John W. Geary, will lay the corner-stone,
and the address appropriate to the occa
sion will be delivered by Dr. Isaac Ray,
of Philadelphia.
Tax thirty-first of last month will ever
be remembered by Asa Packer, for on that
day twenty-six years ago he was thrown
into the Lehigh canal by a crowd of ex
!operated boatmen, who had been driven
by extortion to st rike for higher wages.
He was rescued, and continued on the
road to wealth. It would be interesting
to know how many of those poor fellows
have died in poverty while he was amass
ing his twenty millions.
THE contract for furnishing the State
with printing paper for the term of one
year has been awarded as follows : Chas.
E. Mullin, of Mount Holly Springs bill
paper at 31 cents per pound ; Mullin &
Parker, of Mount Holly Springs, book
paper at 23t cents per pound. These rates
are too high, unless the qualities are better
than those heretofore used by the State.
Joule W. GICARY, poor in this world's
good's, is rich in the records of public
service and ofprivate life. Asa Packer,
with his untold millions, comes before the
people, a Pennsylvanian who did nothing
for Pennsylvania, when she most needed
help ;,who deserted not only her cause, but
her very soil, when her true sons were
hurrying home from all quarters of the
world, to take their share in her defense.
Gov. GEARY and Asa Packer are re
presentative men. The one represents the
earnest, self-sacrificing, patriotic devotion
of the people of Pennsylvania to the cause
of the American Union ;
the other, the
cold selfish, indifference of an overgrown
millionaire, who, trembling for the safety
of his own money-bags, manifested no
concern for his country's perils, and made
no sacrifices for her cause, because be
cared nothing for it.
