Cobweb's Proposals.
" I toll you what It Is, girls, It would
be glorious fun to take advantage of
leap year, and propose to some cross, old
bachelor, and see what he would do
about it," said Cobweb, to the rest of us
girls, us we were talc log a walk one
night, not lung since; " what do you
think about lt, girls
We all agreed that II would ha glorl•
ous fun.
" But who [lfni pluck enough to do
It?" loth' Lou
" Who, indeed, but your humble ser
vant," said Cobweb,
" Oh, yes ; Cobweb can do It to per
fectlon,' ,
said Fan Clark, clapping her
hands In high glee, "and you know the
rest of us will be around where we can
hear all the fun," said I.
" But, Cobweb, how will you manage
It?" said Lou. " I know you are equal
to any emergency, but I don't seem to
think of any one you could practice on
this time."
"Nell, T do," said Cobweb; " so keep
still a moment and I will unfold my
plan."
"Go ahead," maid all of us InAfiticert,
for we well knew there wne soiwthlng
rich on hand, when Cobweb put on that
face and manner.
"Well, g1r14," Auld Cobweb with a
smile, "you knhyv there is to be a Leap
Ye.ar Ball next Monday night, at the
Town Hull, and I shall ask ' Old Black'
as we girls call Idol,"
" Oh," said Lou, " yi. ,will never
dare ho. would uuuihllu, \ you with
one of his looks,
"Oh, elm! don't you bailey. Yourself.
I rather think Cobweb Is up to that
sort of thing."
"Well, Cobweb," sold I , "get the
programme all arranged, so that we can
hear all the fun."
" Oh, yes, yes, ' said she,
right."
Well, we got everything arranged be
fore we went home that night, and
could hardly wait to see how it would
work. First, let me describe "Old
Black." In the first place, be is not
old, but a Rue looking man of about
thirty-live years ; but his still, digni•
lied manners, and the fact of his being
unmarried, gave him' the title of " Old I
Black," his real name being Mr. Levi
Black, and the owner of one of the lln•
est farms in the town of H , where
he lives alone with an old housekeeper.
The next day Cobweb sent him au In
vitation to the ball, which was prompt
ly accepted; and Cobweb was iu high
glee. The wished for night at length
arrived, and we were all ou tip•toe, you
may well believe. Cobweb went early;
she drove up to the door about half past
seven and, running up the steps, rang
the bell. The old housekeeper came to
the door, and looked as though she
thought Cobweb was crazy when she
asked for Mr. Black, but she managed
to ask her to walk in, and she would
tell her master she wanted tcssee him.
"But what under the sun that chit of
a thing wants of Mr. Black, I don't see,"
she muttered, as she wentont.
Cobweb sat down and waited with all
patience. Soon she came back, saying
he would be ready presently. Cobweb
waited au hour, and he did not come ;
then another hour and no Mr. Black.
She was about to ring for some one to
Lind out what the trouble was, when in
be came, all smiles, saying:
" Have I been long? I have been hur
ried so, I am all nerved up."
"Oh, no," said Cobweb, "you have
been just no time at all. Well, we will
go now, if you are all ready ; but it
seems hardly possible—you have been
so very quick !
" Oh yes; I am quite ready•"
"Well, now we will go."
She waited on him into the buggy,
and tucked the robes around him as
sober as a judge, and gathered up the
reins, and they were soon at the hall.
Oh, how honored Cobweb looked, nsshe
came in with Mr. Black hanging on her
arm. She gave us a look out of those
eyes of hers, that set neon into a laugh ;
but all the while he was as sober as he
could be. But I saw a twinkle in his
eye that meant mischief. Well, all
went as merry as could be. When sup.
per time came, Cobweb gave us the
wink to be on hand, as agreed. We all
swallowed our supper as soon nspossible,
and wontand hid In a closet that opened
out of the ladles' dressing room, where
Cobweb meant to entice him alter sup
per, and then propose to him in the
most 'approved style, as she said. We
could but just keep still. Soon we saw
them come in. Cobweb led him to a
seat, and seating herself beside him, she
looked over to our hiding place and
made a face. That set us all to giggling,
and Lou laughed out; but he took no
notice of it, so we thought it was all
right. . . .
"Dear Mr. Black," said Cobweb,
moving up to him and taking his hand,
"I have long waited for this opportunity
'to open my heart to you, but have never
until now found one favorable to my
purpose."
He looked a little surprised, but did
naseem much frightened.
"I have long loved you, and know
you to be the guiding star of my exist
ence. Say, now, truly, dear, darling
George, do you love me? Don't say
no," said she, dropping on one knee.
"Don't leave me without hope. Give
me some encouragement, and I will be
the happiest woman alive. Say, darling,
do you love me a little," and she looked
up into his face with such a complete
counterfeit of devotion, that we were all
convulsed with laughter.
He looked at her a moment and then
went off into such a fit of laughter as
you never heard.
Cobweb straightened up with all the
dignity she could command, and look
en at him with a face as long as your
arm, until he stopped laughing, when
he looked up said:
"Well, you did that well; better than
I could Miss Reed; and I urn glad you
have done e°, for I could never have had
the courage to pop the question ; but
now you have done the thing—l can
only. sat, I shall only be too happy to
love you, and have for a long time. I
overheard your conversation that night
and determined to take advantage of it.
Now I am ready to make you the hap
piest woman lu the world at any time;
the sooner the better. " What do you
say?"
Cobweb looked up to him, and seeing
that he was in earnest, wilted, as Lou
said. Then• he reached out hisi hand
and drew her to him, saying:

he held her fast. " Promise, then I will,
letyou go." She promised, and he said,
" Now, girls, come out :here and per.
suede her she had better marry ' 131d*
Black.'"
We all came out, looking sheepish
enough, I expect. I never saw Cobweb
Cornered before; but I think she will
make it all right. We went home in
high glee, but Mr. Black would insist
upon seeing Cobweb home safe, for he
said he always made itn point of duty to
look after all valuable property. How
theaffair will terminate, I dont know;
but I hope she will conclude to have
him, for he is really a noble fellow ; and
then. such good times as we would have
going to see her In that fine old house.
If she does, I will let you know all
about it. But we shall never forget how
she looked when she dropped on her
knees, and rolled up her eyes so loving•
ly at him when she proposed.
TIM THREE CRIME&
An Eastern Tale
Hemet Abdallah was an inhabitant
of a grotto on one of the slopes of Mount
Olympus. When he stood at the en
trance of his humble dwelling, he could
embrace at one glance all the territory
originally possessed by Osman, the
founder of the Ottoman empire; and,
as he five times a day offered up his
prayers to Allah, he invoked blessings
upon the head of Solyman the Magnifi
cent, the reigning Sultan In whose time
he lived. Indeed, Abdallah was re
nowned for his sanctity ; and the What ,
itants of the vicinity of his dwelling
treated him with the most marked re
spect.
He was not, however, entitled to this
excessive veneration by his age ; for he
had scarcely attained his fortieth year
when the incident of this tale took
place. His venerable father, who was
himself a dervise of great sancltity, and
whose years amounted to fourscore,
resided with him in the same grotto ;
and fortunate was deemed the individ
ual who, on his way along the slopes
of Olympus, was allowed to Join In the
prayers of the two dervises, kneeling
upon the ground at the entrance of the
cave, and turning their countenances
toward the holy cities of Mecca and
Medina.

Hemet Abdallah was one morning
roving amidst the groves and woods,
which extended up the mountain fur
above his grotto, and pondering Upon
the passage in the Koran which he had
beau pursuing but a short time previ
ously, when his foot suddenly struck
against something hard upon the
ground. He looked downward, and
saw an iron ring fastened to a small
brass plate, which was let into a square
of stonework, and seemed to cover a
hollow place or well. Obeying a sud
den impulse of curiosity. Hamet appli
ed his hand to the ring, and pulled it
with all his force. After many vain
exertions, the brass plate yielded to
his exertions, and he fell backward with
the sudden shock.
Before he bad time to rise and exam
ine the aperture thus laid bare, a dense
volume of smoke issued from the hole,
and ascended in the air to the height of
several thousand feet.
Hametgazed with astonishmentupon
this strange apparition ; but how much
more was his wonder excited when he
saw the smoke gradually become more
and more palpable and shapely, and at
length assume the form of an Immense
giant, with a long flowing white beard,
and a tremendous pine tree In Ills right
hand. 41+
Hamet fell upon his knees, and was
about to put up a prayer to Heaven,
when the terrible apparition addressed
him in a voice of thunder:
"Nay; mention not the name of the
Deity, or I will cut thee into ten thou•
sand pieces !"
" Who art thou?" demanded Hemet,
rising from his suppliant posture.
"I am Kara, an Evil Genius, whom a
victorious power shut up in that cursed
hole, where I have languished for two
thousand years. It is au evil day for
thee that brought thee hither.
"And wherefore, proud Genius?"
demanded Hamet.
" that la all
" Because I am about to kill thee, in
order to avenge myself upon some one
for this long captivity," replied the gi
ant.
At these words, Hamet trembled very
much, and besought the Genius to spare
his life. For a long time the Genius
was inexorable, and ordered him to pre
pare for immediate death ; but at length
be Buffered himself to be moved by the
prayers and entreaties of the virtuous
dervise.
"Hark ye," said the Genius; '•I am
willing to spare your life upon oue con•
dition."
" Name it," said Hornet, his heart
leaping with joy.
" I will grant your request, I say,"
proceeded the Genius, " on condition
that you perpetrate some crime which
may diminish your over-weening pride
of conscious virtue. Do not interrupt
me, or I will kill you upon the spot;
but listen. I give you your choice of
three of the most heinous crimes which
I can Imagine. You shall either violate
the law of the prophet, and drink your
fill of good wine, or you shall murder
your venerable old father; or you shall
curse the name of that Deity whom you
worship. Choose between these three
crimes."
Then Hemet was very sorrowful, and
he endeavored to melt the heart of the
evil Genius ; but all his prayers and en
treaties were unavailing. He accord
ingly began to reason with himself.
' If," said he, " I assassinate my
father, no contrition can wipe away my
crime, and moreover the law will over
take me with its vengeance. If I curse
the name of the great Allah, I may
sigh in vain for future happiness in the
gardens of Paradise. But if I become
inebriate with the juice of the grape, I
can expiate that fault by severe morti
fication, penitence and renewed prayer. ,
Then, turning his countenance up
ward toward the Genius, ho said. " 0
fountain of all evil! I have made my
choice, since though art determined
upon a this e I i t l e
u ry '
Name t he o bject of that choice,"
said the Genius.
" I will get drunken with wine as the
least of the crimes which you propose,"
answered the dervise.
• .
"Be It so," - cried the Genius; " this
evening, after the hour of prayer, thou
wilt find ajar of Cyprus wine upon thy
table, when thy father has retired to
rest In his own cell. Thou mayest ful
fill thy promise then; but woe unto
thee If thou deceivest me!"
The genius gradually became lees
palpable as he spoke these words; and,
by the t me ti t
bus‘ concluding menace is
sued fro h 1.4 lips, he had vanished
eltogeth r. Hemet retraced his steps
toward t ...grotto, with a sorrowful
heart; but Ife. would not confide his
anticipated disgrace to the affectionate
parent who - Welcomed his return.
The day passed rapidly away; and
in the evening, Hamet and his sire
knelt down as usual at the door of the
grotto, with their faces toward the
south, to raise their voices in prayer,
When their vespers were concluded,
the old man embraced his son tenderly
and retired to the inner part of the
1 grotto.
As soon as Hemet knew that his
father slept, he lighted a lamp ; and, as
the Genius had told him, he saw a large
measure of wine standing upon the
table. The unhappy dervise raised it to
his lips, and drank deeply of the intox
icating draught. A glow of fire seemed
as he Bet the vessel down upon the table.
Again he drank; and he felt reckless
and careless of the Consequences. He
drank a third time; and, when he had
emptied the measure, he ran out to the
door of the grotto, and threw it down
the slope of the mountain • then, as he
heard it bounding along,' he laughed
with indescrible mirth. As he turned
to enter the grotto, he saw his father
standing behind him.
' Son,' said the old man, the noise
of. revelry awoke me from my slum
bers, and I rise to find my well beloved
Hemet drunken with wine! Alas 1 is
this merely one of many nights' orgies ;
and have I. now awakened to the dread
truth of thine impiety the first time?
Alas 1 thot haat oast 'Wigs upon the
gray head of thy father VP
Hemet could not brook this amnia•
andthe'implied suspicion that he
was accustomed to indulge in wine
whilst his liither'slopt. He felt sudden

And .sehe uttered those words, he
pushed his father • violently into 'the
grotto. The -old man resisted, and
again reincitusreted With Mind. The,

to the, world' entered his mind. With'

furiously against the atone walls of the
grotto. The old man fell withltis tem.

emanated from his bosom—rand hie
spirit fled forever.
Suddenly conscious of the horrid
crime of which he had been guilty,
Hemet tore his hair, beat his breast, and
raved like a maniac. And in the midst
of his ravings, he lifted up his voice
against the majesty of heaven, and
cursed the Deity whom he had so long
and fervently worshipped!
At that instant a terrible din echoed
round about—the thunder rolled—the
tall trees shook with an earthquake—
and, amidst the roar of the conflicting
elements, were heard shouts of infernal
laughter. All hell seemed to rejoice at
the fall of a good man, whom no other
vice had ever tempted away from the
paths of virtue, until drunkenness pre.
rented itself. The rage of the storm
increased—the trees were torn up
by their roots—and fragments of
the rocky parts of Olympus rolled
down the hill with the fury of an Al
pine avalanche. Then suddenly the
Genius appeared before the wretched
Hemet, and exclaimed, "Fool! by choos
ing to commit the crime which seemed
to thee least, thou halt committed the
other two likewise ! For there is more
danger in the wine-cup than in any
other means of temptation presented
by Satan to mankind!"
And the last words of the Genius
mingled with the redoubled howling of
the storm, as Hamet was borne down
the slope of the mountain by the fall.
lug masses, and dashed to pieces at
the bottom.
A Convict and Ills Daughter.
A terrible murder had been commit
ted, and the Hotel de Barren situated
R
on the
ou Saint Saviour; Paris, was
in a terrible ferment. A thousand re
ports were in circulation, but they all
differed very materially. Some declared
that during the night a dozen savage
looking men had entered the hotel,
armed to the teeth, had bound the ser
vants, and then committed the deed of
blood, And yet the domestics were all
free. Others said that a single robber
had done the work, but as nothing val
uable was missing, the lie was given to
this assertion. Still others affirmed that
a band of immortals had made the visit
upon some mission of vengeance, and
had taken a soul away with them,
leaving an inanimate body behind.
But there was ono among the number
who gave au account with some degree
of calmness. He said that early in the
evening he had seen a strange but beau•
tiful looking woman, evidently belong
ing to the poorer classes, enter the hotel,
and although he had kept a close and
constant watch, ho had not seen her
come forth again. Once he thought he
had seen her form tilt by the window
of the apartment where the murderhad
been committed. But this Information
was very indefinite, for the woman could
not be found—nelther had any one else
observed such a character. All that was
positively known, was that Jerome Des
mollnes had been stabbed in his bed,
and was now a cold and bloody corpse.
Later in the day it was announced
that an arrest had been made by the
people. Some time before a man by
the name of Joan De Rodna had.been
arrested by the officers of justice, at the
instigation of the Desmolines family.
He had been found concealed in the
hotel under suspicious circumstances,
and he was convicted of an attempt at
robbery and sentenced to the galleys.
But he had escaped, and was known to
have breathed dire vengeance against
his prosecutors. The night of the mur
der he had been seen near the hotel,
and now that he was arrested, his con
viction and death was beyond a clues.
tion.
The trial came, and De Rodna was
condemned to be guillotined.
A young girl had watched the pro
gress of the trial, with a pale and anx
ious face. When the death penalty
was proclaimed, she left the court with
a faltering step, and proceeded to an
obscure apartment in an obscure street.
Here she sat until darkness came on,
but she was busily engaged during all
this time. She was weaving a silken
cord of considerable length, but quite
small; yet a sufficient strength to sus
tain, suspended In the air, the weight
of any ordinary sized person. About
every twelve inches the rope was knot
ted, which would prove a great advan
tage to any person wishing to ascend or
descend it, in climbing by its aid, up or
down a high wall.
As darkness came on the young girl
entered the street having concealed the
,cord about her person, and then she
walked rapidly until she reached the
Rou Saint Saviour. She entered a
dwelling with out even knocking, but
as she was ascending the stairs, she
was met by an old woman, who asked :
"Does he come here to-night Ma
tilda I"
" I expect him," was the brief reply.
"I thought that affair ended matters
between you."
"It may be so ; but I will wait."
" Very well."
The old woman continued her descent,
while the girl passed on upwards. She
did not stop on the third or even the
fourth floor, but passed on through the
scuttle to the roof. Then she crept cau
tiously forward until she came to the
last building in that row of houses.
She approached the very eaves, hav-
lug first affixed her silken cord around a
chimney, and clinging to it to prevent
falling. For two hours she remained in
this position, and by this time the street
was dark and silent below. She could
see that a light was burning in one of
the rooms of the third story, and upon
the window of this apartment her gaze
was fixed.
Presently she began her descent on
the cord. It was a fearful situation, for
there she hung upon that giddy height,
sustained only by that which appeared
to be a single thread. If that should
break she must be dashed to pieces upon
the pavement below.
Carefully the girl crept down on the
rope, and at length she placed her feet
upon the window ledge. It was a sum
mer night and the window was open.
She gazed in, and saw a young man
seated in an easy chair, puffing his cigar
at his ease. He had not discovered her,
as his back was towards the window,
and had attracted his attention. In a
moment after the girl was standing by
his side, and leaping to his feet he ex
claimed :
"Matilda De Rodna! You here!"
"Yes I am here," she replied with a
frown.
"How did you cuter my apartment?
I am sure I locked the door when I
came in." Yet, he continued, for he
ascertained by trying that he had done
so.
"Perhaps I came in before you had
entered." '
"Ah, I suppose so. But what do you
want?"
"I want to talk with you, Henri Des
molinee."
"Very well; be seated and let me
hear what you have to say. ,,
The girl took a proffered chair, and
fixing her eyes upon the young man,
said:
"Henri Desmolines, when I met you
three years ago I was an innocent and
happy girl. I believed all the world
to be good and truthful. When you
came to me you represented yourself to
be a poor artist. I received you. Had I
known that you were one -of the rich
and proud men of the city I should have
refused to receive your addresses, be"
"cause my father was only a tradesman,
and the wealthy never stoop to wed
daughters of such. But as a poor man,
I loved you, and I firmly believed you
intended to make Me your wife. Inno-
Cent and confiding, you deceived me ere
the echo of your. promises died away •
you forsook me, and then I learned 2.1.1:
I did not reproach you, but on the con
trary I endeavored to shield you with
all my heart. I tried to keep my father
in ignorance of my betrayal. But he
learned it from another. Then I begged
him not to injure you. He promised
me that he would but be determined to
see you: He called at your hotel, but
you denied him admittance to your
presence, and ordered your servants to
thrust dm into the street, which they
did. But; bent upon his purpose, he
returned again, and you , caused hie ar
rest.' Your menials swore falsely alymir
instigation, and 'I became the rained

" But:why did be kill - my brother ?"
"It was through mistake. The blow
was intended for you, Henri Desmo
lines." •
"Well, are you through with what
you have to say ?"
"No. I want you Weave my father's
life. You can and you must do it."
"You may retire now," replied Henri
as he raised and pointed to _the door.
The girl sprang to her feet, and her
eyes gilttered,as she exclaimed :
"Henri Desmolines, listen to my words
and heed them well, for as I speak so I
will act— so I can accomplish. I never
thought of shedding blood. But I shall
watch tomorrow, and if my father dies
I shall return to you, and I shall stab
you to the heart, even as he did your
brother. B efore my God I have sworn
to do this."
"Oh, you threaten, do you? I think
tomorrow will find you in the prison
cell. Not that I fear you, for you will
not be able to reach my room again
without discovery. But I would pun
ish you for your threat." He stepped
towards the bellpull, and even while
his back was turned Matilda passed out
of the window, ascended her slender
cord, and was again on the roof. She
saw her former lover thrust his head
out, and look down towards the ground.
Then she heard him say:
"She could not have escaped, except
by this window. If she has fallen, she
certainly has been dashed to pieces,
and so I shall be rid of her for ever."
Oh, how those cruel words rankled In
that poor girl's heart, as all that long
and dreary night she eat in her lonely
room. Each passing hour she counted,
as proclaimed by a distant clock, until
the morning came. Then the hour for
the execution arrived, and soon she
knew that she was fatherless—the guil
lotine had done Its horrible work,
The night came on again, and it was
beautifully brilliant. It •was one fitted
rather for love than for vengeance, but
still that girl did not hesitate, for the
oath had been taken, and must be kept.
Again she entered the same dwelling
whore a hundred times she had mot her
lover, and ascended to the roof. Again
she stood upon that of the Hotel de Re.
voln, and affixed her cord, She looked
down towards the window, and saw
lazy wreathes of smoke rolling out. She
believed that Henri was seated there
with his cigar, and soon she knew this
was the case, for she heard him singing
a lively air.
Presently his head appeared in view.
Ho gazed around in every direction,
and then felt downwards with his
hands, as if searching for something.
After this he disappeared.
Quickly did Matilda slide down her
cord. She gazed into the apartment,
and she saw Henri examine every cor
ner where a human being could be pos
sibly concealed. Then he locked and
bolted the door, and retired to his
couch. The avenger watched him until
she thought he was sleeping, and then
she entered and approached his side.
She took up his revolver, which was
lying upon the table, and cocked it for
use. The click of the hammer aroused
him, and startling up he cried
"Here again! My God! How did
you enter ?"
The only reply was the leveling of the
weapon at his head. He yelled for
help, but with the sound of his voice
came the pistol's report, and the betrayer
back dead. In a moment after, the
avenger reached the roof, and returned
from thence to her home.
Of course there was another terrible
excitement at the hotel, but this time
the affair remained shrouded in mystery.
Six months after, a poor creature died
in a lonely attic, of a broken heart. Her
name was Matilda de Rodna, and dying
she gave to a friend the secret of her
revenge, which until that moment had
remained' unexplained.
Guard Against Vulgarity.
We especially commend the following
extract to the thoughtful study of the
young. Nothing is so disgusting and
repugnant to the feelings of the noble
and the good as to hear the young, or
even the old, use profane or low ; vul
gar language. The young of our town
are particularly guilty of profanity. In
our day it seems the " boy " does not
feel himself a " man" unless he can
excel in this great sin :
" We would guard the young against
tue use of every word that is not strictly
proper. Use no profane expression—
allude to no sentence that will put to
blush the most sensitive. You know
not the tendency of habitually using in
decent and profane language. It may
never be obliterated from your heart,
When you grow up, you will find at your
tongue's end some expression which you
would not use for any money. It was
one used when you were quite young.
By being careful you will save your
self a deal of mortification and sor
row. Good men have been taken sick
and become delirous. In these moments
they used the most vile and indecent
language imaginable. When informed
of it, after restoration to health, they
had no idea of the pain they had given
their friends, and stated that they had
learned and repeated the expression in
childhood, and though years had pawed
since they had spoken a bad word, they
had been indelibly stamped upon the
heart. Think of this, you who are
tempted to use improper language, and
never disgrace yourselves."
What Did Paul Say?
Many years ago there lived in Vir
ginia a Baptist preacher, named B.—
Though uneducated, he was a sound
thinker and an eloquent speaker, and
no minister had a more devoted flock.
It was the custom, during the inclement
season, to hold meetings, at the resi
dences of the members, and ouee or
twice during the winter at the house of
the preacher. For many years it said
that B. never preached nor conducted
the meetings when held at his house,
but secured the services of some neigh
boring minister. He was often pressed
for an explanation without success;
but
finally, in response td the importuni
ties of some of his flock, gave the fol
lowing:
When I was much younger than now
—in fact, soon after the commencement
of my ministration—l held a meeting
at my own.house. It being customary
for many of the congregation to remain
for dinner, Mrs. B. sent our negro boy
Tim to neighbor Paul's for some butter.
Tim returned and located himself,stand
ing on one foot at a time, in the out
skirts of the congregation. Being well
warmed up in my sermon, thinking
neither of Tim nor his errand, but only
of the most successful mode of pressing
among my hearers one of my strongest
arguments, I demanded, with all the
energy in my power:
" And what did Paul say?"
Tim at the top of his little squeakin
voice, exclaimed, as Tim only coul. l
have done :
"He thed you couldn't git any more
butter till you paid for what you had
got!"
This brought down the house, and cut
short one of the finest efforts of my
early ministry ; and since then I have
kept my preaching disconnected from
my domestic affairs.
Fell from Grace.
Old Billy G- had attended a great
revival, and, with many others, was
converted and baptized. Not many
weeks after, one of, his friends met him
reeling home with a considerable brick
in his bat.
"Hello, Billy," said the friend, "I
thought you had joined the church."
" So I did," answered' Billy, making
a desperate effort to stand steady, " so I

tist, if they hadn't treated me so ever

far saying than many of us are aware
of. Every great career, every grand re
form, every benificent revolution; dates
from an not of courage; and all the
names dearest to mankind were made
such by the valor of those who bore
them.
Martin Van Buren, though possessed'
of many excellent and some admirable
qualities, though he rendered hie party
and his country valuable services, was
wanting in the heroic traits, and hence
his name has not that magical power
with his countrymen which some men
possess who were apparently his inferi
ors. As a public man, he was Prudence
incarnate. He appeared to be always
on his guard against committing him
self. He never took the dangerous ini
tiate. He was never the real leader.
Nevertheless, as no man is responsible
for gifts which he does not possess, and
as Mr. Vau Buren made a good use of
those which he did possess, he is enti
tled to our respect, and will probably,
grow in the esteem of his countrymen
the better he is known. •We can, at
least, say of him, that he was personal
ly pure. He was faithful to his word.
He was an honest man.
Martin Van Buren was born in 1782,
K.lnderhook, in the State of 'New
York, Ina log house. His father, a good
natured, illiterate man, possessed a few
acres of land, and, it is said, eked out
his livelihood by keeping the village
tavern. His mother, tradition reports,
was a thily superior woman, very ac
tive and polite, well versed in the:poll
tics of the day, and wise in managing
the family affairs. The boy being un
commonly handsome and Intelligent,
every one said he was capable of doing
better work in life than tavern-keeping.
Therefore, after attending the village
school until he was fourteen years of
age he was regularly apprenticed to
the attorney of the village for . the usual
period of seven years. Many poor boys
in former times go into the law in this
manner, while graduates of colleges,
who could pay high premluits to their
instructors, were admitted after only
three years study. According to the
custom of the time, this apprentice
swept out his master's office, dusted his
books, arranged his papers, and probe.
biji groomed ills horse and dug in his
garden.
Before lie had completed his term of
apprenticeship, ho obtained a release
from his master, and went to New York
to finish his studies. There he entered
the office of Wm. P. Van Ness '
a fa
mous lawyer at that day, and still more
famous as a democratic politician, but
now only remembered as the second of
Aaron Burr in his lamentable duel with
Alexander Hamilton. Aaron Burr had
a particular fondness for aiding and
advising young men of promise. See
ing this diligent, polite and handedme
youth in the office of his friend Van
Nees, he cultivated his acquaintance,
and made much of him, invited him to
his house' and imparted to him the re
sults of his experience in politics and in
his profession. These conversations, it
is supposed, stamped the forming char
acter of this young man, and nourished
in him that instinct of caution and se
cresy to which allusion has been made.
above, But if it was Aaron Burr who
taught Martin Van Buren the tricks
and artifices of politics, he learned from
the President, Thomas Jefferson, those
fundamental principles of democracy
which Burr despised.
In his twenty-first year, Mr. Van
Buren returned to his native Kinder-
hook and began the profession of the '
law. The first vote which he ever cast
in his life does him much honor. It
was at an election for Governor of the
State, in which Morgan Lewis was the
regular candidate of the democratic
party, and Aaron. Burr was an irregu
lar or bolting candidate. Van Buren's
personal feelings, if he had allowed
himself to be guided by them, would
have led him to vote for the brilliant
and fascinating Burr, from whom he
had received attentions so unexpected
and so flattering. He stood by his prin
ciples, however, and gave his maiden
vote for Lewis.
From 1803 to 1808 he was known only
as an adroit, polite, persuasive country
lawyer and politician. In 1808, being
then 26 years of age, he was appointed
by Governor Tompkins surrogate of his
native county, and held the office four
years. Removed from this office by a
turn in the politics of the State, he was
elected in 1812 a member of the Legis
lature. It was while living at Albany
in this capacity that he next saw his
early friend:Burr, who was then a fal
len, utterly ruined man, just returned
from his long residence in Europe. Mr.
Van Buren entertained him in his own
house for several days—made quiet lit
tle parties for him, and treated him
with as much distinction as though he
were still the powerful and prosperous
Colonel Burr of 1802. Indeed, they re
mained on terms of intimacy as long as
Burr lived.
After twenty-three years of faithful
service to his friends and his party, Mar
tin Van Buren held the politics of New
York in his hands, and represented the
State in the Senate of the United States.
The Presidential campaign of 1828 was
at hand. John Quincy Adams was the
President, and expected to be re-elected.
Andrew Jackson, the candidate of the
opposition, would probably have been
supported by Van Buren in any case.
Be that as it may, it is certainly known
that he was offered the post of Secretary
of State by Gen. Jackson, a year before
Jackson had it to give, and that Mr.
Van Buren accepted the oiler, and thus
bound himself to the General's support.
By a series of the most skillful meas
ures, he secured the vote of the State
l
for en. Jackson, who was elected. At
the same election Martin Van Buren
was elected Governor of New York.
On the fourth of March, 1829, Gen.
Jackson was inaugurated President.
According to the programme arranged
so long before, Mr. Van Buren resigned
his Governorship, and accepted the
proffered office of Secretary of State.
Arriving at Washington three weeks
after the inauguration, he found the
President in a fury, and all the upper
circles of Washington in a state of the
most intense excitement. John Eaton,
Secretary of War, had thought proper
to marry a widow who was not regard
ed in Washington, as a reputable wo
man, and, consequently, the wives of
the other members of the Cabinet re
fused to visit or notice her. Gen. Jack
son, an old friend of the lady's parents,
was convinced of her innocence, and
was determined thatshe should be rec
ognized and visited as a proper member
of society. The ladies, however, would
not yield the point, which roused the
indignation of the fiery Jackson to the
highest degree conceivable. Next to
the battle of New Orleans, this appears
to have been the fight that most in
flamed his warlike passions.
In the midst of the imbroglio Mr. Van
Buren came upon the scene. He was a
widower; he had no daughters; there
were no ladies in his family; he was a
free man ! As a matter of course, he
called upon; Mrs. Eaton, with whose
husband he had been long and inti
mately acquainted. He paid Mrs. Eaton
the mast marked and assiduous atter'.
lions. This conduct so completely won
the affections of Gen. Jackson, that,
from that time, the elevation of Mr.
Van Buren to the Presidency became
one of the leading objects of his policy.
The Pre,sident's efforts, ably seconded
by. Mr. Van Buren's friends and ene
mies; were crowned with success, and
Mr. Van. Buren was inaugurated Presi
dent in 1837.
Called to the Presidency at a very try
ing period, his conduct was, upon the
whole, wise and right; be, did some
good and prevented much hairri.'..Fall
ing of a re-electioti in 1840 he retired to
a beautiful farm at Binderhook, and
spent the long evening of his life in the
peaceful labors of agriculture, and in
recording his own experience for the
benefit of posterity. He died in '1862,
aged 80. years.

Speech of Gon. Wm. H. Franklin
The following eminent soldiers were
present at the opening of the Sailors' and
Soldiers' Convention In New York: Gen
erals William F. Smith, Slocum, Averill,
Mcciernand, Andrew Porter, T. Ellby
Smith, Ewing, Granger, McCandless, and
a host of others. As their Representative
G eneralWm. B. Franklin spoke as follows
Yellow Soldiers and Sailors: I thank you
for this high and undeserved compliment.
Never having presided in any body regu
lated by parliamentary law, I shall have - To
claim your indulgence for any mistakes'
which I may make. But I bope,that
serious questions of order will arise. If
they do, I shall decide them as impartially
as I can, and I look confidently to the fair
ness and justice of the Convention for an
endorsement of the decision of the Chair.
[Applause] It is, I hope, not amine for me
to give in a fey words what are my ideas
of the uses and duties of this Couventiou.
Since the commencement of this govern
ment secret Societies of military Men who
have served, have been viewed by the peo
ple with intense jealousy. This view is a
natural and proper one. • It is the duty of
military men In a free country, when no
longer in. service, to return to their peace
ful avocations (applause), and If they desire
to be heard in the civil coupons of the nation,
to take their places with other civilians,
and by legal and usual means exert the
influence which their positions as citizens
give them. 'lhey have no right (and I
mean it In the broadest sense of the term)
to attempt to exercise influence or gain
power from their positions ns military mon.
[Prolonged applause.] The exercise of
such influence will in the end be subver
sive of free institutions, and will surely
prepare the grave of liberty, paving the
way for a military despot, who will rule
this whole country with the sword, just as
one-third of It has been ruled for the lest.
throe years. Under the Influence of secret
military societies, elections will in a short
time become the merest farce, and Pilate-
Han bands will designate our Mayors,
Governors, and Presidents. (Voice, "That's
so.") If lam correct in these assertions,
and I believe that history andgood sense
will bear tae out in them, It may be proper
ly asked what wo aro doing here In con•
vention, and aro not we acting precisely lu
the manner which I have deprecated " The
question is pertinent and must be an
swered. In the first piece our Con•
vention is no secret association. Next,
there is now existing in the Northern and
Western States, and for aught I know, in
the Houthern Stntes, a secret military or
ganization which has Its ramifications in
every corner of the land. It is numerous
and powerful, assumes to Itself all of the
patriotism which carried mon into the field
on our side during the rebellion, and its ob
jects aro unknown to any outside of its
ranks, unless we can judge of them by its
acts. I refer to the seltstyled Grand Army
of the Republic. [Hisses.] Whatever may
have been the object of the originators of
this organization, and I will admit that it
may have been a good one, I hold it to be
dangerous to civil liberty at present, for
wherever It is felt it hes for its object to
gain success for ono side In politics. [Ap
plause.] The natural effect of this military
partisanship is to band together such mili
tary men as do not agree with it, and the
effect may be with those of that class who
feel this pressure most bitterly, to meet the
obnoxious organization by another which,
in my opinion, would bo no loss obnoxious.
[Applause.] We will thus soon have two
organizations extending over the whole
country, military, armed or with access
to arms, as different as day and night In
their feelings of what is right in civil affaire,
and ready to fly at each other's throats at th o
bidding of any military charlatans whom
accident or ambition may place at their
heads. I acknowledge that at present this
aloud is no bigger than a man's hand but
events march with rapid strides in times
like these, and the storm may be upon us
before we know it. Should it come It will
sweep over this whole country with such
destructive effect that our late struggle will
sink into insignificance before it, and we
will be left an imbecile Mexico. I think,
therefore, that one object of this Conven
tion should be to show to the country, and
to give assurance to the people, that the
Conservative military men do not intend
to be led into any secret military societies,
and that any political action of theirs ehall
be as citizens, in combination with other
Conservative citizens. [Great cheering.]—
Those Conservative soldiers and sailors
who now belong to any secret military so
cieties, should be advised to leave them at
once. [Renewed cheering.] This Conven
tion has another object which is, I think,
quite as important as that just named. Iu
May last a Military Convention sat in Chi
cago, at which were present delegates from
many of the States. It called itself the
Soldiers and Sailors' Convention, but
it bore the ear-marks of the odious and
obnoxious organization before mention
ed. In its resolutions it spoke for itself,
"and the soldiers and sallc.rs who imper-
fled their lives to preserve the Union."
These resolutions contain many things
which we utterly repudiate. They condemn
the President, approve the course of the
Radicals, and give the views of the conven
tion on several political subjects. Fellow
soldiers, did that convention speak for us ?
[Voices, "No," "no," " no."j Aro there
not in this large assemblage soldiers and
sailors who imperiled their lives for the
Union? [Voices, "Yes."] Did it speak
for them? Therefore, fellow-soldiers, an
other object of this convention Is, in my
opinion, to'show to the country that that
Chicago Convention did not in any respect
speak the wishes of the large number of the
military men of the United States represent
ed here to-day. One would suppose from
the resolutions of that Chicago Convention
that the Radicals were true friends of the
soldiers and sailors. But the Radical
record for the last three years tolls
a different story. [Applause.] With very
few exceptions, it has been the rule with
the Radical Senate to reject all soldiers and
sailors' nominations to civil office. Thus
as Foreign Ministers, Generals McClellan
and Blair (cheers) have been rejected. As
Collectors of the Customs, Generals Slocum,
Couch, and Curtis (cheers) have been re
jected. General Pratt was rejected as Col
ector of Internal Revenue. These are a
few Instances the merits of which I know
personally. The officers named command
ed armies, corps and divisions. Not a word
has ever been said against the ability, in
tegrity, bravery, or loyalty of these 113011.
Notwithstanding their merits they were
ignominiously rejected, and In most cases
politicians fill the places which they ought
to have had ; a General officer who to-day
carries a rebel bullet In his heed, was
rejected to give place to a politician who
Is now in Sing Sing (laughter and applause)
under sentence for committing outrageous
frauds in his office. It is exasperating that
men like these I have mentioned (and the
list could be much extended) should be re-
jectod by the honorable Senate, and Immo&
ulate Callicotts (hisses) confirmed in their
stead. And yet, if I nm correctly informed,
no less a number than two thousand sol
diers and sailors of all ranks have been
nominated to the Senate for civil ofeces nod
have been rejected by it. When any soldier
hes been saved in this ordeal, it was "as it
were by fire." The Conservative men of
this country to-day recognize the fact that
the war to preserve the Union has had
results which must be acknowledged.
They also recognize the fact that there
is now, or ought to be now, peace
between the two hostile sections. [Pro
longed applause.] The Conservatives of
both parties have, since the war, acted in a
kind and conciliatory manner towards
their old enemies, to whom kindness and
conciliation are as necessary as the air they
breathe. On the other hand, the course of
the Radicals has been revengeful and in
sulting. The dearest rights of man have
been trampled upon in all their dealings
with the conquered rebels, and judging of
the future by the past, the reign of terror
will last as long as the Radicals rule this
country. [Applause.] It is therefore our
duty, fellow-soldiers, to hold up the hands
of the Conservatives who go into po
litical convention to day, and to bid
them God speed in their good work,
[Cheers.] They have before them the
i most responsible task which has ever fallen
to the lot of a political convention in this
country. They are to devise means to de
feat the Radical party in the coming elec
tion. I believe that it is in their power to
attain this end. [Great applause.] Let it.
be our part to honestly assist them to
achieve success, believing as we do that a
continuance of Radical rule is death to the
institutions of this country. Let us not be
exacting or dictatorial, but ready to make
reasonable Baer - If:ices for phace and union,
.and we will separate with the consciousness
that we have done a good work, and that
at any rate we have done what was in
our , power to avert or postpone the
crisis which will sooner or later ar
rive if•the Radical party succeed,
which . end may God avert. [A voice—
" Amen" Applause.] Ido not think that we
ought to pay much attention to mere pon
d:rain our resolutions. Two hundred years
ago Admiral Blake said: " It is not our
business to Meddle' with State affairs, but
to keep foreigners from fooling us: (Laugh
