PTT Eleven o'clock—at least so said the golden tide of sunshine, creeping over the velvety turf of the village ,green, and losing itself In the murmurous fell age of the big maple trees Land so said the little clock in Judge Cornell's law office on the main street, sPeaking in a sharp, melodious chline. Harry Grover glanced quietly up at the uncomprisiug little dial, as he en tered the domain of "Coke upon Lyttle ton." "I'm late this morning," hemuttered hanging up his hat behind the door; "but, as good luck will have it, the Judge has not made his,appearanceyet," He was a straight, handsome young fellow, with curly brown hair, limpid hazel eyes, and a healthy flush on his sun-browned cheeks—one you could trust, a l'outrance, as you looked into his frank, honest face. There was 4a many such—more's the pity! " Whew—whew—whew!" whistled Mr. Harry Grover, turning over his pile of legal documents in a very unme thodical sort of way. "Law and love were never meant to go together; of that • I am certain. Pretty Ariel Browne's blue eyes are roguish ly out at me' from every bit of parch men t or printed blank I touch. How love ly she was last night—and who would ever suppose that the old cat with the false curls and grinning porcelain teeth could ho her aunt? Rich, too, they say; a good match for some desperate for tune•hunter, who is willing to swallow tire bitter old pill for the sake of the gold coating. Let me see—talking about old Experience Browne, I believe I have a business letter to write to her about that piece of land by the school house corners that she wants me to buy. Not I! When I purchase land for a building spot, it won't be a desolate pust.rre, where rocks and mullein stalks light together to see which shall possess the staunch soil. The old lady must take me for a very unsophisticated character Indeed. I wonder now if blue-erd Ariel will ever be a wrinkled (intern ran, clutching after bargains? Pooh I, I should as soon think of a, white plumed little dove being trans formed into a greedy vulture?" Ile leaned back in Ilia chair, with both . hands clasped on the top of his curly head, and looked out abstractedly into the slushy village street, hunonlng an old tune under his breath—a tune whose burden was "Love, still love." Plainly, Mr. Harry Grover was very little disposed for work that morning. And when, at twelve o'clock, Judge Cornell came in, there was but a hope less chaos of papers on the table to re present iris younger partner's matinal labors." " Why, Grover, you haven't accom plished a thing this morning," said the old judge, glancing keenly around through his antique silver-bound spec tacles, " I am afraid that the pretty girls at Squire Deckthoru's party last night were too much fur your unni,,tal equilibrium." " Well, you see, sir, I've been rather sorting the papers over," said Harry, a little sheepishly, " and I've written two letters this morning." " Two letters I'' "Yes, sir." " May I ask to whom ?" "Oue to old Miss Experience Browne, about the lot she wanted to sell me—a regular clipper, giving tire old hag a piece of my mind—and the other—" "The other—" "Ahem—that wasn't exactly a busi ness letter. Now, judge, suppose you and I look over these ejectment papers together !" The judge smiled slyly ; he had an idea as to what the other letter contain ed. Every one in town knew how hope lessly Mr. Harry Grover was iu love with pretty Ariel Browne. Judge Cornell had been young himself notmany years ago. " It's just as well for the lad to marry and settle down," thought the old gen tleman, "and Ariel will certainly make as sweet a little wife as humau mortal could wish for." Harry needn't have been en mysteri ous, sealing and directing his two letters ' at the tall desk behind the office door. Judge Cornell knew just as well what was In them as if he had read every word with his own eyes. But young people have a mistaken idea that old peo le don't know auythiug. Miss Ariel Browne sat in her room, busy with a complicated piece of bright colored web-work that ladies call "crotchet," when Bridget tapped softly at the panels of the door. " Please, Miss Ariel, a letter." "A letter! and for me! Dear me, Bridget, who can it be from?" " Faix, then, it's meself doesn't know, but Lawyer (Rover's office boy brought it, and an impudent young spalpeeu it it, for—" But here Bridget became conscious that her young mistress was paying no attention to her, and withdrew into her departmentof the kitchen, there to nurse her griefs lu solitude. Ariel's cheek had turned as pink as the inside of a wild rosebud, as sire read the superscription of the letter, and her heart beat perhaps a pulse or two faster than was its wont, but sire brokeopen the missive with a resolute hand, and read : " MY DEAR Mass I3nowNE:[" Rather cold beginning !" she pouted.] I must ' beg to decline all further negotiations with you. As you cannot for a moment seriously suppose I care to possess any thing so utterly worn down and good for nothing, it is useless to waste either of our time in any more preliminaries. "I will call this afternoon and return to you the papers you so unnecessarily took the trouble to send me. " Yours, very truly, " H. GauvErt." Ariel threw down the note, and burst into tears. "'The cold hearted, presumptuous villain !" she sobbed. " Papers, indeed ! I suppose he means the note I wrote him about the picnic. Oh I how foolish I have been, how absurd, and I am rightly punished for my folly!" But still Ariel wept on; when a girl of eighteen has built up a glittering cas tle in the air, whose foundation is in her own heart, she cannot see 'Washed ruthlessly into ruins without a few natural tears. Mean while, Miss Experience Browne, retat fifty well-ripened autumns, was reading no little astonishment, the let ter which Bridget's enemy; the post boy, had brought for her. U—pon my word!" exclaimed Miss Experience, slowly and emphatically. "The impertinent young fortune-hunt ing, humbug! Does he suppose I am a born fool to swallow such ape& of sou timental flattery as this? ' Lovely eyes—dimples!' If he'd have said spectacles and wrinkles he'd have been considerably nearer right. No, you don't my fellow—no —you—don't I P.,3E . perience Browne hasn't lived fifty-five years in the world .to fall Into such a trap as this at last. He'll call this afternoon to receive the answer that is to decide the current of his future life,' will he'? Well, let him call,Tll be ready for him,' and I warrant me he won't be in a hurry to call again." And Miss Experience chuckled to - herself until all the false curls quivered as she folded the letter neatly, and put it bank ipso its hurriedly-directed en velope, "I never had an offer of marriage be fore," she • thought, viewing her autumnal countenance in the pier glass, and adjusting the little pull's of ribbon in her cap-torder, "and it does make one feel kind of queer! It's something to tell of, anyway. 13ethuar Jones needn't go,to tidying now that I was an old maid because I had never. had an offer.

Walk out of this Mom; quick, or Pll throw the big dlo tiohary at your head! No, no, no have you got your answer plain, enough?

"Itut Miss Browne--Will you hear me a moment? I don't want you to marry me? What has put this strange fancy in your head?" "You dont want to marry me? Then What the mischief does this lettermean, Pd like to know?" "May I look at it?" Harry took the letter and glanced at it; its contents threw a new light upon the unaccountable state of affairs. "Good Cupid! what a blockhead— what an unmitigated, inexcusable, in comparable donkey I have been ! What could I have been thinking about?" "Hey?" demanded the puzzled spin ster. "Excuee me, ma'am, but there has been a mistake—a—" And without stopping to complete his fragmentary sentence, he rushed out of the room to the Attie bay-window parlor, where Ariel usually sat. "Well, I never !" exclaimed Miss Experience, as the door hanged uncere moniously in her face. " Ariel! Miss Browne!" But Ariel turned haughtily from the pleading eyes of her lover. " Your letter is quite sufficient, sir ; I need no further exponent of your mean ing." "Ariel—darling—there has been an absurd mistake; this is the letter that was intended for you. The other was written to your aunt on business, and, by some unaccountable blunder, got in to the wrocg envelope. I have been a fool, a blockhead, but I love you dearest, with all my heart! Ariel, you will not send me away!" No—Arlei did hot send him away, for the shy smiles and the rosy bloom were beginning to come back to her face as she read the real letter. " But, Harry," she said,with a roguish dimple at the corner of her mouth, 'you must confess that Aunt Experience's note had rather an unpleasant style. " I was a careless reprobate, said Harry, frankly, "but you see Judge Cornell was watching me, and—" And that was the end of all misunder standings between Harry Grover and Ariel Browne, thenceforth, for ever more. Miss Experience was rather disap pointed In two things. She would like to have sold the school house " corner jot," and she would like to have said that once, in the course of her fifty-live years of life, she had an offer of mar- tinge. However," said Miss Experience, " Ariel is very happy, and may be things are best as they are." The llaunted Room. BY ALICE ROBBINS "Shall you take the house, Herbert? The question was asked by a gentle, delicate-looking woman, whose anxious eyes were fixed on the face of the man before her with an asking, earnest gaze. " I don't thinkl shall Dotty," was his quick reply. " Too 'expensive, my darling; a thousand dollars a year. You are disappointed," he added, as her white hand fell from his arm. "O, so much !" was the reply, lu low, painted tone. " I had set my heart upon it." `Now, ',Pm very sorry for that. Of course it's a beautiful house, and cheap for the size and style—almost new, too. Why, Dotty, you're not crying about it ?' "0, it's no matter—don't mind me," she said, iu the same, low, quiet tones. "I can't help being a little foolish about it. I was willing to give up a great many things, if we could get it—go without new dresses, and the set of sil ver you promised me. Iso wanted that house." "Well, it is pleasant. of course it is— perfect little palace. But, then, rather too fine for us, Dotty. By-and-by, when I get a few thousands ahead, why, I shan't mind." "No, but we shall never see another house so completely to my mind." Young Rutherford threw back his head and laughed. "I couldn't help it, Dotty dear. If you could see your rueful face as you said that!" " Of course, you laughed at me—you always do," she retorted, a spark of auger in her soft blue eyes. " You can always do as you like; I must wait your pleasure." " Now, Doty, that's not fair," he said, seriously. " You must see that I study your comfort and happiness much more than Ido my own. Why, darling, you are the pride and glory of my life, and we have been very happy in this pleas ant house. We never feel pinched and anxious here : we have money enough to spend on our simple pleasures, and to gratify Dol-the-less in her little fairy cradle here. Why should we want to change and take on care and anxiety ?" " I don't see, Herbert, that if few hun. dred dollars more ought to signify," re plied the little woman, toying with her watch-chain, her tearful eyes downcast. "And you know I have been so usad to a handsome home." Herbert winced. "The rooms are very much larger than these, Dotty." " And we have a great deal too much furniture for this house. I never go into the parlor, and see that beautiful Steinway that uncle gave me, without feeling mortified. It is absolutely al most as large as the room." " New carpets, Dotty." "Only for the parlor; and I do think we might have one handsome carpet. You promised me that, you know." " Have you kept the key of the house?" " Yes." She looked up quickly, her countenance changed, the sweet blue eyes all the brighter for the vanished shower. "Will you go and look at it ? " "There's no harm in that, I suppose," he said, with a long sigh, as he lifted himself wearily like a tired man. Dotty hurried for her bonnet and shawl, set the good, plain little nurse to watch the baby, and tripped a square off at the side of her husband, like one walking on air, • Such a beautiful garden! "she said delightedly, as they gained the place. "To keep in order," he responded. "O, Hebert, don't think so much o dollars and cents. You will grow miserly. I can save enough out of the housekeeping to pay for it thrice over. There ! isn't this lovely ?" Herbert thought it was, as the two stood together in the spacious parlor. The four French windows led upon the balcony. The design of the chande lier was exquisite; the freshness and beauty of the decorations could not fail to please a man of relined taste. Ah I but so dear I" he ejaculated as they entered room after room to find in each some new and convenient feat ure—" I suppose I could take it," he said " tf I saw fit to help Lawson." I " n what way?" "By working nights. But when he made me the offer, I couldn't think of it, for I felt it would be purgatory to spend my evenings anywhere but In your dear company, I felt a little fear, Joesides, as I'm not overstrong this sum mer, that it might pull me down. However, that may be purely selfish reasoning. If you think it would add to your bappinness, I will close in with his offer at once. But I shall never be at home till nine, perhaps later. Fare [ well our cosy chats and pleasant read. "B Lug. ut, Herbert,' nave Pet, and nine is not so very late ; we might sit up a little longer. Besides, I could pass the time agreeably with books and mulct" bhe did not see the look of sadness that clouded his'face as she said this— that deepened almost into anguish be fore she glanced toward him. It hurt him to the heart to have her acquiesce so readily. Could.he have donee° ? No, not for all the houses and land in the world." The place was taken. It cost money to move, money for carpets, money for sopae extra furniture; but Doty's pleas lire was contagious. Herbert tried to persuade himself that he had done a good thing, and for a few weeks they were happy. Everybodyadmired their choice, complimented their taste, eulo gized the grounds which Herbert had put in fine order. But the overwork soon told on the strength of the young man. It was warm weather ; unfor- Seen changes occurred; his business went behind band a little ; he missed the gentle stimulus of his happy biome evenings; he grew pale and careworn in his efforts to keep straight with l the world, ',})sere came a time when for 'weeks his foofnever pressed the threshold' of •is handsome new house; when poor Dotty, white and frightened, aat in the darkened room and listened to his inco herent words—always toward and of her; words of tenderness' and beauty. There came a time when she was borne shrieking from that still chamber, be cause the gentle lips had stiffened to the semblance of marble, and the love and light had flown out of the stiff, glazed eyes. There, in that beautiful parlor—all darkened now, the strange aroma of fading blossoms telling of the tomb ; the chilling silence and deathly pallor that seemed to change even the familiar fur niture, striking upon the senses of the most indifferent—there lay the love of her youth, the husband of her choice; never to smile on her again, never to whisper the words that had made her heart leap with joy. How little she had dreamed of this How all her reason ing came echoing back—cold, cruel, heartless, it seemed. 0, why did not her heart break and let her weary spirit fly to meet him, to beg him to forgive her? No, not yet; she was doomed ever to keep the recollection of that dim, darkened parlor before her mental vision—that haunted room. Never afterward conld she think of it without. a shudder; it was always present, always a warning to her against the pumps and vanities of the world. As time went on, the memory softened, its harsh dreariness melted away, and an angel seemed to fill its gloom with .a softened light. Constant communing with the dear one she had lost led her thoughts and affec tions up to the home he had entered. She lived for years, trained their child to bless womanhood, and then gave herself up to deeds of mercy. Her heart was in heaven, and the haunted room had become to her like the recollection of a bower of beauty. The Coming Landlord. It is a marvel tome that country land. lords do not better arrange their houses, with a view to keeping their f, u ests later In these lovely autumnal days. The absence of gas, and the omnipresence of bad smelling kerosene, are great draw backs to enjoyment in the chilly eve nings which follow these golden days. Fires which get low at the very moment they are most needed in the sitting rooms, and a cold dining hall, filled with kitchen smoke, are not incentives to a prolonged stay; add to this, the utter impossility of finding one's way of an evening through a village guiltless of lights and shrouded in trees, and it is no marvel that city people begin to think of cosy evenings by their own firesides where are both warmth and light, with out whiCh Paradise itself were a desert. I think landlords who have an eye to business should take what may seem to them, perhaps, very uninfluential mo tives, under serious consideration. I am very sure that if their own houses were made comfortable for the autumn, enough lovers of the season would re main to reward them pecuniarily for any such foresight. Let the fashionists go—there are plenty left to rejoice in the crisp air, the falling, bright-hued leaves, the glory of sunshine and shadow on the mountain-tops, and the keen sense of life at the fall which comes of wandering among them. I think I should understand engi neering an hotel! I know just where the shoe pinches, at least, which is half the battle. In the first place, I wouldn't smoke a pipe, and then I should not be tempted to put those halcyon moments before the comfort and convenience of my guests, how imperative soever the occasion. Tben my temper would be angelic, and I could understand how every larly in the house could "have her room cleared up " at one and the same moment, though the lady-guests numbered a full hundred! Then—l should see my way clear to let every lit tle child on the premises dig deep holes in the gravel walk which leads to the front door, and fill them with water, for infantile amusement, and to further the laudable ambition of the nurses, in reading fourth-rate pamphlet novels. Then I should better understand my duty iu riding ten miles to get d water-melon for one lady, eleven miles to get a quart of peaches for another, and six miles for grapes for a third ; and, at the same time, be on the piazza, to be a walking Time-Table for strangers and others who wish inf4rma tion at short notice on railroad subjects. Were I a nonsmoker I should be con solable under the necessity of remaining out of my bed till the latest midnight reveller had gone to his, and up in the morning before daylight, to be sure that the eggs for the departing Grumble fami ly were cooked neither too hard nor too soft. Also I would have one pane of glass in each chamber-window in the house a looking-glass, immoveably inserted, for the benefit of those ladies who prefer some light while combing their hair. Those who dreaded the light on that occasion might fall back upon the time honored looking-glass which landlords are sure to locate in the darkest corner of the room. Then I could see my way clear to take files of all the oily papers for the children in the house to make kites of, or for ladies to wrap parCels or curl their hair in. Also I should pro vide oompact and portable lanterns, with an accompanying servant, for the use of those ladies who fancy evening rambles through a dark village street. You will see by this how inexhausti ble is this subject, and how much re mains to be done, which only a female mind could foresee, or suggest. I gen erously give these hints to unenlighted landlords, free of charge, and doubt not that my next summer's travels will at test not only their practicability, but their execution ; meantimewe are going home; to coffee, real coffee, praised be Allah for that; it is bad to leave the mountains, but chickory is not palata ble either. It is bard to break up a pleasant sum mer party, at the close of the season, for we never can take it up again wherewe leave off. For some there will he wed dings, fur some there will be funerals— good bye, said so gaily, will surely be final to some of us who utter it. We shall take up the paper some day, and a well-known name will catch the eye in that dark list of bereavement. We shall recal Its owner on that morning of the party to the "mountain," or the " lake," and the bright eye, and the flowing hair, and the voice of music— and then the world will close round us, and all will go on as before, till our turn comes, too, to be forgotten. FANNY FERN. Life In the Dark " Pity the blind." There are few sentences more touching than this.— Pennies rain into the hat of the wayside beggar who bears it upon his breast; for who among the wayfarers, does not feel and know that of all the entrances at which wisdom may be shut out, the eye is the most precious. It ls a terrible thing to become deaf and speechless, but Heaven save us from that worse ca lamity—the closing of the windows of the soul. Yet the blind are usually oheerful--especially those who have been born blind—and Provldenct seems to compensate them in some measure for their misfortune, by sharpening their four remaining senses. An edu catedinmateofoneofourßlind Asylums will make a nearer gues:at it character and disposition of a visor, aer shaking hands with him and hearing• him con verse, than a phrenologist could make after manipulating his head. The blind are generally shrewd and sometimes very sarcastic. The common belief in their simplicity, mildness, and good nature does not seem to be in accordance with the facts. Professor Saunderson, the blind Mathematician, once observed of a lady who.had paid him a visit, that she had remarkably beautiful teeth. "How can ,you know that" said a friend. " Very readily," replied Saun derson, "for a full half hour she did nothing but laugh." The born blind, of course, have no visions: They dream, indeed, but their impressions in sleep are all derived from the senses of hearing, touch, taste and smell. "Sometimes," said a blind boy, "I dream that I. tread on the grass, and smell the fresh air." No ray pierces the "ever-during dark," even in slumber. A letter from Lima, Peru, says t a vote of thanks has been passed by Congress to the people of Chili, and the Ministers of the United States and France in Peru together with our Admiral in those waters, for prompt and efficacious assistance to the unfortunates of the South. klecilotes cif!uk teciriirk. Fred Emnions was au eccentric wlti well known fit Buffalo,.Cleveland,and other lake ports, severalyears ago, as a " steamboat runner." He It_, was whop on being stopped by a robber one dark night with !i demand for his "money or his life,' • coolly responded that he hadn't goGany money, bat it he wonld step under a lamp-post hewentd write him his note for Ave or ten dollars! Poor Fred! it was immaterial to him whether it was five - or ten dollars, for he never paid anything. Charley Coe, of Cleveland, now pro prietor of the Cleveland flouring mills (and the man, by the way, to whom " Artemus Ward" dedicated his book, styling him in his characteristic, warm hearted way, "a friend all the year round," once lost a valuable dog. Think ing that he might have got on board the Buffalo boat and been carried off, as he was about the dock a good deal, Coe wrote to Fred Emmons, then at Buffalo, to institute a search for the dog. Weeks passed without a word from Fred. Being in Buffalo one day, Mr. Coe met Fred, who said he bad been searching for the dog ever since the receipt of his letter, but with no success thus far. "I have, however," said Fred, " a little bill that I would like you to settle, if convenient." He thereupon produced a bill, which ran (and is running yet, we reckon) about as follows: BIINFA LO, Charles Coe, Esq., To Fred E,73amons, To one week's board at 00 To one week's board at Mansion House. 500 To one week's board at United States 6 CO TO three meals at "Bad Jacket"......,...._ 150 To three meals at Bloomer's 1 50 To sundry meals at various restaurants. 13 00 Total "What does this tnean ?" said Coe, "You wanted me to look up your dog, didn't you ?" "Certainly." "You expected to pay arly expense I went to ?" "Of course, any reasonable expense." "Well, that's just what I've been do ing. I have been boarding around at the various hotels and restaurants, tasting sausage to see if I could find any traces of your dog ; but I haven't yet." He was excused from any further search in that way. Once, in Cleveland, Fred was solicit ing passengers at tine docks for the Buffalo boats. As the boat was about to leave, a carriage drove furiously to the dock, and out got a ponderous puffy man, with an immense expanse of white shirt bosom, followed by an equally fat wife, with a nurse and several children. "This way for the Buffalo boat!" shouted Fred. The man with the broad shirt bosom wanted to know what the passage for himself and family would amount to before going aboard. "Tell you in a minute," said Em mons, whipping out a big red pencil used in filling out posters. Then, before he knew what he was about, Fred had it all figured out on the old fellow's broad white shirt front! There was a moment of speechless rage on the part of the man as he cast his eyes from the big red figures on his shirt bosom to Fred, who looked the very image of guiltless innocence at that moment, and then he pitched in and gave Fred such a whaling that he was laid up in bed for six weeks after. To most people it would seem to be rather an expensive joke, but Fred al ways declared it was ' worth it." He said the astonishment on the old man's face when he saw the figuring was "better than to be licked to death." We should say so. Fred was a great boaster. He boasted too much and too loud one day. He had been absent from Cleveland for a long time, and, coming back one day, he said be had been to California and the gold diggings, and brought back lots of gold. Some fellows who believed the story followed him out of a soloon one night into a lonely street, and murdered him for his money. They didn't find a cent about him to reward them for the bloody deed. Poor Fred! If he could say anything abdut it he would say It was " a good joke on them !" Woman Created to be the companion of man, how often has she been made his slave, the instrument of his passions, the play thing of his idle hours. This every where among the savage tribes has been the case, and even among nations which were civilized, if Pagan, woman rarely had assigned to her her proper place. This was but another phase of that ferocity that has cursed the earth by its cruelties in war. The steonger tram pling on the weak. But there was this mighty difference, that whereas a feeble tribe might by conquest be made harm less, the influence of woman could not be destroyed. There belongs to her in each several relations as sister, wife, mother, a vast social power for good or I evil, of which she canndt be deprived. If crushed, downtrodden and despised by an unchristian civilization, woman, alas, bad her too ample reveige in the baneful influences which, from man's fault and her own sad misfortune, went forth from her as by a law of retribution to avenge her on her tyrants. Her womanly na ture which would have shed its sweet and softening influences on society could not be dried up, but did, without her meaning it, give forth the soured and bitter influences which oppression, to its own just punishment, wrung out from her. Never therefore, could there be a true civilization where woman was not assigned her proper place. But where this justice is done to her, what a rich reward she bestows on man. It is her's then to humanize him by the gentler charities, to engraft with her delicate female touch, the softer graces upon the under-growths of his nature, to distill around the deep roots of his being a secret subtile balm of all purest passions which, when she has roused into their strength, she then softens without enervating them. It is woman's mission in the quiet privacies of home, to feed the centre founts of society with those humaniz ing influences which distill as natural ly from her as its balm from the tree, or their odor from the flowers. But why crush the extending branch? or why tread down the exhaling flower? The more tenderly they are nurtured the richer the balm, the more fragrant the aroma will they yield. And so woman, if herself the nurseling of tenderness, will the most tenderly minister. Now in the Scripture woman has assigned to her proper place, the amenities of her sex are 4vindicated, her mission is de• fined, her administrations are allowed and aeknowledged, she Is placed at man's side his companion, his friend, his equal, and help meet for him. Weaker in physical frame, she is admonished to cling to him for support ; of Intellectual energies lese vigorous Than his, she is taught to make him her counsellor. But superior to man in the finer and pure delicate sentiments of their common nature, he must seek toward her unless he would become stern In his strength and In his virile hardihood degenerate into harsh ness. • We know nothing finer In the whole range of literature than are some of the exhibitions of female character which are to be met with in the Scripture his tories. A loving wife and a devoted mother, she is seen shedding a hallowed loveliness around the household. The sires and sons of Israel, so noble, patriots, heroes of dauntless bravery, men of action and of mettle in Israel's best days, went forth from homes where woman's work was known and her power admitted. It was she as wife or mother who made these sires and sons of Israel the men they proved to be.— But not only in the privacy of home is the Hebrew woman to be seen. She could step forth without forgetting her womanly modesty, In those stirring times equal to deeds of valor, that the veterans of the nation might have en vied. She too, was poetess, Priestess, prophetess, but nobler still, she was en nobled as the mother of the Saviour. The Prineo 'loyal , of Belgium The disease of which the Prince Royal of Belgium is slowly dying seems to be an aggravated kind of dropsy, which has been partially relieved by tapping. Previ ous to this operation, the poor little suffer er's legs presented the appearance of Turk ish trousers filled with air. And if he lay down, his head swelled up like an Inflated bag. The Queen sits by her child night and day, except for a few hours' rest or an hours' airing. The King wanders about the palace, unable to endure the sight of the suffering boy, constantly returning to the chamber of Buttering for a few moments. THE FIIBLIC DEBT INCREASING IENORBOUS PUBLIC EXPENDITURES R4.*A.r; rszeics zrooszi? Old itidaileeil of Appropriations rse4 Aveinge s :ExpendHere t:eaely Since the War Over $t60,000,000. Deficit of 6154,000,000 Frightful Deficiency mins to Come 880,000,000 Given to Manufacturers Aarteidlortata to Pay It From the New York Herald. The Treasury Department has lel it leak out a little in advance of the official state ment that there will be "another small in crease of the national indebtedness" this month. We use the language of the Wash ington telegram as to the " small increase;" but the correspondent save " it may possi bly reach two millions five hundred thou sand dollars "—that is, at the rate of thirty millions a year. This does not strike us as a swell increase. We should not be sur prised, however, if the sum named were to be below the figure when the official state ment Is published. It is said that this in crease is owing principally to the unusual heavy expenditures of the War Department In currying out the Radical measures of re-' construction. We learn, at the game time, that the receipts from internal revenue are surprisingly small, and that the cash in the Treasury has been pretty well reduced. This is anything but a flattering prospect of our national finances. • • • How could it be otherwise? The expendi tures of the Government continue to be enormous. They are war expenditures in amount, though the country is at peace and has been for more than three years past. The heaviest is for the War Department in carrying out the reconstruction measures of Congress. It would be better to say, how ever, that this vast expense has been for keeping the South in a disorganized and disturbed condition, for that is what this so-called reconstruction amounts to. Then the enormous appropriations by Congress for all sorts of schemes, bounties, Freed men's Bureau, and private enterprises must soon drain the Treasury dry when the in come is falling off. The stupendous frauds in the internal revenue, and the demorali zation of that department through the dead lock between Commissioner Rollins and Mr. M'Oulloch and the President, threaten to reduce the interest from that source far below the estimates. A hundred millions of taxation were taken off for the benefit of a few New England and other manufactur ers, while the expenditures and appropria • lions remained on the largest scale. We see this extraordinary anomaly in the con dition of the country, that while the crops most abundant and general prosperity pre veils, the debt is being increased and the Treasury approaching bankruptcy. . . EMII3M Mr. M'Culloch made a public statement when Congress had under consideration the party electioneering bill of the Jacobins, to take off taxes from manufactures, as fol lows : Should the bill referred to become a law, I think it may be fairly estimated that the total revenues for the next fiscal year will fall from a hundred to a hundred and twenty millions below the estimates made in my last annual report. It is exceedingly desirable that taxes should be reduced, and I should hail with pleasure the proposed reduction if I felt assured that it would be accomplished with a corresponding reduc tion of expenditures. lam free to say that I am greatly apprehensive that such a re duction of expenditures will not be made, and that the revenues of the country for the next fiscal year, if the bill now before the Senate, or in the hands of your com mittee, should become a law, will be insuf ficient to meet the interest on the public debt and the current expense of the Gov ernment. " But this warning," says the report of Mr. Delmar, "was ineffectual. The bill It alluded to was passed on the 31st of March, 1869; and the public service, instead of being cut down, was increased by the crea tion of new functions and the appointment of additional officers. In a word, the amount of service to be performed, whether actual or nominal, is more than it was last year, and is therefore vain to look for any reduction for the present." The consequence, as states the same re port, " is, it the Treasury endeavors to meet its current expenditures this year (to say nothing of matured claims deferred, or the Post Glace deficiency) it will throw a deficit of $14,339,202.25 at the end of the year, to be obtained from increased taxes or loans." Mr. Delmar's report of the financial con dition published yesterday, show the ex penditures for the last three years, as fol lows : F0r1.805-6 $576,477,103 02 For 1866 7 312,444,291 34 For 1867-8 414,913,004 191 The expenditures of the last fiscal year were not actual war expenditures, but were those made in time of profound peace, an d in the third year after the war, and when its great incidental expenses had ceased. This statement also shows that our expenditures are increasing, having been 22,460,312 85 greater during the last fiscal year than the year preceeding. The greatest mistake in former unauthorized statements was, in omitting from expenditures authorized the sum of $144,778,472 25, being unexpended balances of former appropriations. The expenditures specially authorized for the current fiscal year will be $482,050,202.23, thus showing an Increase of expenditure in the current fiscal year ending June 30th, 1869, the fourth year after the war, of $37,- 145, 598.04, as compared with the year pre ceding. Here, too, we find balances out atandingof old appropriations, July 1, 1868, $150,417,522.77. The receipts from all sources are then given, showing "a DEFICIENCY on the 30th June next of $154,000,000," which can only 'be supplied by new taxes, or another in crease of the public debt, to the extent of one hundred and fifty-four millions of dollars. The manner in which actual expenditure have been so much above the purposely limited appropriations of Congress has been by the use of balances of old appropriations, and by the use of immense sums coming into the Treasury from sales of material of war. The modus operandi is thus explained by the Commissioner of Statistics. All that expenditure that occurs after the close of the year goes on the next year's ac count, so that though, if a series of years be taken together, the back receipts and expenditures are included, yet, if it be de sirable to ascertain the total revenue and coat of the Government for any single year by itself, it cannot be done from these figures alone. For this reason they are not aggregated in the Secretary's report. Re course must be had to the Treasurer's re ceipts and expenditures, which also Include all receipts from sales of captured and abandoned property, confiscations, prizes, sales of quartermasters' stores andi other property, sales of war vessels, 6r.a. &c., items which do not appear in the register's accounts as published, and which items during the past three years, with the back receipts and expenditures, have averaged nearly fifty million dollars a year. In respect to the enormous gratuity to manufacturers at the last session. it is only to be said that had not Congress done thus much for them they would have revolted, as they threatened from the Radical party, True, agriculturalists, mechanics and la borers have to make up the deficit, but they had no pompous agents with well-lined pocketbooks to operate on Congressmen in their behalf. The bill should have been opposed by every means and devise known to parliamentary proceedings. It should have never passed into legislative form without full exposure of its enormities.— Think of it, men of toll, that a gratuity of 580,000,000 a year was given outright to the manufacturers who,Puring the war, heaped up their gains to mountain heighth, and were thus enabled to purchase Govern ment securities at from forty to fifty cents on the dollar. bearing gold interest on the full dollar. If the infamous bill was pass through menace of the manufacturers of leaving the Radical party, why should not the laborer, mechanic and farmer adopt re taliatory measures? The latter interests, in view of the situation, ouget to rebel as one man from the party of the corrupt Congressional rump. Of course, under the operation of the bill referred to, the revenues for excises dimin ish and the public debt becomes augment ed. The deficiency bill at the next session will be frightful. Meantime all other inter ests except manufactures must be taxed well on to 5100,000,000 a year to make up the gratuity to the former. The outrage was hideous beyond any other thing that our legislation records. The national debt is now kept down by refusing to do justice to public creditors, thousand upon thousands of whom are now in want because the Government will not pay them their just dues. To keep up the policy of the negro party to enslave the whites of the South, a great deal of really necessary legislation is denied to the people. All this in order that Congress may purchase support for themselves, or the corrupt Rad ical party, by giving popopo a year to manufacturers by taking off their taxes. Some day the debt will work up to 54,000,000,000, when the Government shall have done its whole duty in the re pents we have referred to. Mr. Thaddeus Il l lftevens often set the figures at 55,000,000,- 000, in which, we take it, he included state, city, county,and town war debts. We are not quite sure, however, on this head, as he did not speak of them as required to carry up the debt to ss,a/0,000,000. But let the toiling masses think of what the Gov ernment burden of taxation will be if the Radical policy ofloving principal in gold is to be the law of the country. The inter est on the last named snm at present aver- , age Government rates would be yearly, in gold, $300,000,000. It is clear, then that we stand on the brink of aecipice, and at the bottom of the dark a yes will be found, under the Radical policy, financial bankruptcy and national disgrace.

The Purposes of the Southern People— An Mennen; VindienUon of Hon. Her. schel V. Johnson. Hoyt. Herschel V. Johnson the Demo• erotic candidate' for Vice President of the United States in 1880, in a recent letter ad dressed to the Democratic Executive Com mittee of Troup county, Georgia, eloquently vindicates the Southern people from the unscrupulous charges of Radical orators and presses. He says: The position, designs, and sentiments of the Southern people are grossly misrepre sented. Whv and with what motives I shall not attempt to say. It may be from honest ignorance of the truth, or it may be with the design to influence the people of the North in their choice between•the two opposing candidates, and thus to prevent our restoration to our rights in the Union. But from whatsoever consideration, we are misrepresented. I know it so far as the jaeo ple of Georgia are concerned, and I fully believe it in reference to those of the other States. It is asserted that vie are ready and willing at any moment to renew the war, and are rebellious against the Government. No facia exist to sustain such a charge. On the contrary, the conduct of our people since the surrender demonstrates its false hood. We have acted in good faith. True, we opposed the reconstruction scheme of Congress; but we did so, first, because we had already organized our State govern ment under the President's policy; and secondly, because the scheme was uncon stitutional and fatal to our every interest— social, civil and political. Wee there any crime in this, and especially when it was remembered that Congress graciously in• vited us to accept or disapprove it, though with threats of confiscation and disfran chisement if we did the latter? But the scheme has been consummated in Georgia, and, what is our deportment new? Are we offering any forcible resistance to the State government that has been formed for us under the dictation of the bayonet? No, not all. We recognize and obey it as the Government de facto established in lieu of that which was acceptable to the people, but overthrown by military power. If we deny its validity, de jure, we appeal, not to force, but to the ballot-box—to the patriot ism and justice of our countrymen—for re dress. We have had enough of bloodshed. We desire nothing so much as peace—the peace of concord and fraternity—the peace of constitutional Union. We are charged with the design to remit, the negroes back to bondage. Perhaps the poor, deluded creatures, having their ap prehensions excited by designing, bad men, are preparing to resist such an attempt.— This may possibly explain their military organizations and secret drilling. But they, and aldthe world, may rest assured that no such design exiets among the people of Georgia. The lose of capital invested in slave property was 11 heavy blow, and the derangement of our labor system checked our prosperity, and was felt throughout the whole country ; but we have in good faith submitted to it. We could not, if we would, and would not, if we could, reduce the ne groes again to bondage. We consider their freedom as a fact accomplished, never to be disturbed. We recognize slavery as staked upon the issues of secession, and thatbeing decided against us, we realize that the in stitution fell with it. Hence, the Constitu tion formed by the seceding States, under President Johnson's policy‘-every one of them—contained the prohibition of slavery. Great as la the lose in property to the peo ple of the South, caused by emancipation, the change is not void of some compensa tory features. It has relieved slave-owners of a weight of responsibility that was bur densome; it has freed us from the slander ous tongues and pens of thepseudo-philan thropists of the world ; and it ought to si lence forever the wrangle over the question of the negro which bas agitated the country for thirty years. Emancipation is a small evil compared with that arising from the attempt, on the Part of Congress, to regulate the social, civil and political states of the freedmen in the several States. From habit, association, and interest, the feeling between the two races was kind and friendly. It would re main so, but for the pragmatical interference of unprincipled adventurers who excite the passions of the blacks against the whites for political purposes. If the dominant party had been satisfied with emancipation and left the relations between the races to the normal action of the principles of as similation and growth which obtain, even in the mineral and vegetable kingdoms, and are especially potent in their organiza tion of communities, a few years would have brought adjustments mutually beneficial, and the shock to labor, capital, and society would soon have ceased to be felt. This was the path of duty and policy clearly indicated by the character of our joint system of gov ernment—State and Federal—and by Bound philosophy and statesmanship. But when , the effort is made to render them equal with the Caucasian race of the Southern States by statutory enactment ; when they are clothed suddenly with political rights , which they are too ignorant to understand and wisely exercise ; when, by disfranchise ments of the white citizens, they are placed • numerically in the ascendency so as to control the formation and ratification of State Constitutions and direct legislation, it is folly to expect anything but discontent in the minds of the white, and insolence in the bosoms of the negro population. This - is the source of the instances of collision and violence which occasionally occur in the South. But under no aspect do we ex ; peat, or desire the re-establishment of sla • very. Let me say, however, to the colored r people and to reflecting men all over the - country, that, whether so designated or not, e the principles and policy of the cen tralists, if permitted to progress in a the line of their legitimate tendency, must make slaves of us all, white a and black, must lead to despotism, that will fatten upon the sweat of toil, wax insolent -•• in the possession of conscious dominion, 71' and wield political power to pamper and 1 aggrandize its minions. If we wish to escape bondage, and enjoy constitutional e liberty, let us all, black and white, support the principles and policy of the Democratic s party. It is pretended that those who are a loyal men and Union men are not safe in i. the South ; that they are liable to insult and violence, merely on account of their politi a• cal sentiments. That is totally untrue. e That those who flourish under these titles g are sometimes snubbed and not recognized among gentlemen, is certainly true • and 1-• lawless men, such as are found in all sec • lions, occasionally maltreat them. Bat, I d venture to say, that any man north of the 3, Potomac, whatever may be his political 'r opinions, can travel on foot from Richmond , to New Orleans without molestation, if he :8 shows by his intercourse that he is a gentle 's man. The truth is, we desire good men k from any and all sections to settle among Id us. Let them come and bring their capital, whether it consists of money, enterprise, to muscle, or brains. We have land abundant y and cheap, natural resources—coal, timber, is water power, iron and copper — unlimited. 9 Ye the hon Nor est, industrioandus, p'W ace es e t, com e, men ~ ofth, East and A- be with us and of us. We'll bid you wet *, come, and join our energies to develop ad those resources and build up our prosperity, in and quicken—if Congress will permit—to in its wonted step, our march to a glorious civilization. Id Equally groundless is the imputation, m perpetually repeated, that we are disloyal to the flag, the Union, and the Constitution. of The flag, as displayed among us for three be years, has been the sign of oppression, that ed indicated the headquarters of freedmen's id bureaus, or military satraps with their por n- row-prison cells and sweat-boxes; or of its military commissions, to try civilians, lm he prisoned without warrant and denied an is- impartial jury ; the Union as is proffered to of us, is not the Union of equal States bat the iot unity of empire ; and the Constitution, ad. 7e. ministered by Congress la the unwritten ts, law of their own discredon.

But let the stars and stripes be ipt unfurled over ns , as the insignia and pledge of wet protection and , justice ; offer us the Union dll of Washington and his compatriots—the In- Union of coequal States; give us the Con it- stitution of 1787, fairly and honestly ad on ministered and enforced, and then the or- world shall see whether our hearts are ad truo to these emblems symbols, and can up ens of liberty. Do this, and if we fail to ige respond to the call of patriotic duty, at the Ist sacrifice of blood and life if necessary, but not until then, may we be stamped with by the brand of Infidelity to our country. - The New Postage Stamp The Postmaster General has Just awarded the contract for the supply of stamps to the department for the ensuing four years to the National Bank Note Company of New York. The new stamps will be somewhat smaller than those in use at present, but they are of a superior style and finish, with a novelty in design. The two cent stamp contains an engraving of a post boy on horseback in failtmeed. The three cent has a locomotive under fall head of steam, the great carrier of our domestic service. The five cent stamp contains a bead of Wash, ington. Ti t :en cent, the finest of all In de sign and e ution, has a minat are engrav ing of the Declaration of Indendence, exe cuted with such delicacy and pe precision that the picture suffers nothing under a magni fying glass. The twelve cent stamp has an ocean steamship, and the thirty cent has a finely executed engraving of the surrender of Burgoyne. When it is considered that over a million stamps are issued daily, the importance of this contract Is at once evi dent.
