For joy breeds strength and hope gives power,
And knowledge is the young man's dower,
And youthful dreams are fair domains,
And happy thoughts are golden pains.

Each year mores calmly like the hut,
The sea that foamed with deafening roar,
Creeps laggard-like along the shore,

There's a shadow thrown over a household,
There's a huh in the. wintry air,
There's s sadness in every too Wall,
There e s Chill in the sunshine fair ;
There's a place at theltable that's vaunt,
There's a song of a life that is sung,
There's a tumult of tears and of heart-throbs,
There's a wail in the bell that is tang.
There is jay in the bright courts of Maven,
There are ringing sweet anthems of joy,
There are fountains with crystal drops playing,
There's pleasure without an alloy; -
.There's a soul that's redeemed from all sorrow,
There's a sweet angel guardian of love, _
Theresa hand that will reach ever earthward,
There's 's voice that will call us aline.
—Prom "Smn Pen.".
Sitting alone in my chamber._ I
have dismissed my clerk—there be
ing no clients calling at this late
hour; and, indeed, I myself ought to
be off westward, but I sit—dreamily
gazing into the glowing embers—my
mind wandering to other scenes, and
to times long past.
Why do ',Eat here t. I hardly know.
From no love for, my gloomy cham
bers, asuredl7. The fact is, I have
nothing particular to do this evening,
and I have fallen into a reverie; old
faces and old scenes are - crowding
upoii my memory—bright eyes, and
golden hair—low whispers and soft
hands ! Ah I I know no such things
now-a-days; but it is sadly pleasant
to remember them.
A knock at the door—a soft, soli
tary knock. Who can that be? Was
I uustaken ? No r there it is again.
I rise hurriedly, and go to the door—
open it ; outside is standing the fig
ure of woman.
"Is this Mr. Grantley's place ?"
" Yes. lam Mr. Grantley. What
is it?"
"I wish to s pe ak to von for a mo
ment. lam afraid I have not come
at the right time; but please let me
speak to you for a moment." -
There is a hurried earnestness in
her manner; and I admit her, close
the outer door, and place a chair for
her by the fire. Now I can see her
plainly; apparently a young woman,
but her face is marked by sorrow
and suffering.
" Mr. Grantly, I will tell you why
I am here. Some years ago, you
von watt intimately acquainted with
George Marro"
" I was, indeed. - Poor fellow !--if
you could tell me where he is now,
you would be welcome."
" You also knew Dennis Hilton?"
" Yes, I did."
" Are y ou as anxious to know
where he is at this moment?"
IL L. PVIDLETON.
"I cannot say I am. Friendship
existed between ni once. His con
duct broke that friendship in such
manner that it can never be renew
ed."
QM
" I knovi it. He slandered you,
Mr. Grantley."
"Pardon me. It can hardly be
for the purpose of remindmg me of
unhappy circumstances, now ' long
past, that yon—a perfect strmager—
come to me thus ?"
`" No, it is not—l have Dome here
to entrust you with something. I
have beard'your name mentioned of
ten; I know that you arekn upright
and honest man,! and I may treat
you."
" Before you go any further, I must
remind you that you have not yet
told me who you are?! •
" There is not the slightest need
that you should know my name. I
hate my name—it shall not pus' my
lips unnecessarily. lhe favor lam
about to ask of you is a very alight
one." .
-" You are about to confide some
thing to me. Is it unreasonable that
I should ask why you confide in me,
if I may not ask who you are ?"
She nseefrom her chair, and gath
era her shawi about her, as if to go
out into the stormy night again.
" What is it? What-is this request
yon so strangely make to me r - •
" Take this packet. When you
next see me in this room—bat no
before—open it, read its contents,
and then act as your honest con
science bids you,
I am alone again in my chambers,
peering into the embers as before.

Well, we went abroad to spend our
holidays; and so pleasantly did the
time pass, that the -long vacation
seemed uncommonly short ; but; as
what we did and where we went have
nothing to do with the main part of
the story,' must return at once to the
of our return to England.
It was the last day of October.
The autumn of that' particular year
broke up hurriedly, and winter seem
ed already upon us ; and . when we
arrived at Calais, the weather was so
stormy that some doubt was express
ed as to the possibility of the mail
boat crossing the Channel. However,
we hurried on board—those of the
passengers, that is, who had no time
to spare, and were bound to be in
London that evening; many stayed
behind, intending to_ wait for calmer
weather. I think_ we were nearly
four hours crossing—the wind and
sea increasing in their fury ; and
when we were safely in harbor at
Dover, the storm rose to a hurricane.
Many persons-had gathered together
on the pier and quays, waiting to see
the boat come in. As I was walking
toward the railway station, I particu
larly noticed one figure in the crowd.
It was a man closely muffled up, who
I observed, was'continually glancing
first over one shintdder and then over
the other, as if to see if anybody was
following him. His face was a pe
culiar one, and it seemed not unfa
miliar to me. I heard him ask a
Custom House officer what he
thought about the weather,' and
would it prevent the night mail from
crossing ? Tke Custom House offi
cer Merely replied that the weather
was about as bad as it could be, and
that the boat would cross if the cap
tain thought it could be done with
safety, It was not till I was -com
fortably seated in a corner of a rail
way Carriage, and half to town, that
I remembered to whom that face be
longed. It was Dennis Hilton .that
I had seen at Dover, evidently in
tending to,.cross over that night if
possible.
All that night the storm raged on.
The papers, the next morning, were
fall of accounts of great damage that
had been done by the violence:of the
wind; and its fury had not moderat
ed when I walked down, to my cham
bers.
I was busily engaged in' the peru
sal of a case which had been sent for
my opinion, when I fancied I heard
the sound of a confused murmuring,
and of many footsteps upon the stair
case. A minute or, two afterwards
there was a lurching at my door.
heard &whispering outside, and then
my clerk came hurriedly into my
room, with a horrified expression on
his face, and said— •
"It is a Thames Police, sir— they
have brought something for you to
see."
"Let them bring it in,"- I answer
ed, rather astonished.
"Beg your pardon, sir," said one
of the men. "We found this here in
the river this morning."
, He partially retnovea the covering.
,My (Rid I It is the same woman
who called on me nearly ten months
ago, and left' a package in my charge.
" Why have they - brought her d
here ?" I asked.
" On searching her, this bit of pa
per turned up."
The man handed me. a crumpled
piece of paper on which.l could read
these words : "If ever my body
should" be found drowned, let it• be
taken to the chambers of Mr. Grant
ley in the Temple. He will know
hat to do."
"Policeman," I began, " I have.
ciemirm'
only seen this unhappy creature once
in nay life; land I cannot imagine--= ; •
• "Beg Tour pardon, sir," interrupt
ed the men; but you are a lawyer,
and you know as there must be an
inquest, wouldn't it be as well to re
serve anything you have to say for
that occasion?" •
I saw at once what the man hint
ed. I might be implicated in. her
death. So I merely observed--
" All I BAY is, I have not a 'notion
who 'she is, nor who her Mends are.
You had better take the body to the
usual place; and I shall be quite ,
ready to attend the inquest; and give
all the information in my power."
Silently, the men bore away their
ghastly burden, and I was left alone.
Now then, to o - pen that packet I was
to read the next time 'she who had
given it to me should be in my room.
She had come to me - again, and I ba
gan to suspect that I understood the
motives of my dead client. I took
the packet from its place of safety,
broke the seal, and read as follow;
'lf you keep the promise which I
shall ask you to shake.hen I place
this paper your hands, you will
not read this letter till I am dead. If
I do not die in the manner in which
I firmly believe that I shall die, it is
posiible that you may never read it
at all; but Ii know what mast happen
sooner or later,.and leave to you
the task of first avenging me.
"Sin years ag'o I was a happy and
light hearted girl. All my future life
seemed to smile upon me, and I had
a happy home. But love' came to
me, and insensibly at first, all my
happiness b i ded away. It was at a
smill party in the country that I first
met George Mary and Bennis Hilton.
Both of them paid nie great atten
tion; but I liked the former'and dis
liked the litter. Time passed on,
and George l iand I grew to lore each
other;
,but suddenly my father took a
violent, prejudice against him; de
clared that George had been making
lose to me against his—my - father 's
desires, andforbade him to enter the
house again. So strict a watch was
kept on me, ' that I had no chance of
communicating '-with him ; and for
six months I saw and heard nothing
from him. Then Mr. Hilton began
to come frequently to our house; 'ray
father liked him and was constantly
throwing him into my company.-He
was kind and gentle in his behavior;
and sometimes he would talk about
George, but it was in a reserved and
cautious, manner; but at last I learn
ed from him that George was marri
ed... What Could I do but scatter to
the wind my elattered.love? What
could Ido but accept Dennis Hilton
for my husband a few monthi after
wards, when passionately urged by
him and strongly by my father?
• I soon diScovered-that he - had a
terrible prcipensity for drink ; and
though he kept a careful guard over
himself while hp was courting me,
the old habits soon came back upon
him, and night after night he would
come home terribly intoxicated • and
when in this state he would be ;eally
jealous about me, and fancy that
some one was_ concealed in a cup
board, or , in one the roonis, and
would compel rue to go through the
house with him, and search every
place". His. dissolute courses were
the cause of ,his losing an excellent
appointment which he held ; and
consequently we became very poor
indeed.
"-I was sitting solitary, one dark
November evening—crying, I think—
mourning. fOr the lost happiness of
earlier days, when there came a gen
tle knock at the door; I ran to open
it, and there I found George Marr.
‘" George /flair I exclaimed.
What have pin come for ?'
" sTo see yon, Fanny,' ho replied.
I pas'sed you accidentally the other
day. You did not see me. I watch
ed you in here. I had not time 'to
try and see you then, as I was en
gaged. May I not come in ?' '
" You may come in if it will afford
you any pleasure,' I answered. I
should scarcely think it could' do
that. What makes you wish to see
me again?!
" What makes me? Oh, Finny
I hive never ceased to love you.'
" Hash, Mr. - Marr. How dare
you speak to me like this ?'
" Why not, Fanny ? Good Hem--

" I am—to Dennis Hilton. What
reason_ had you to suppose that I
should keep true to you, when you
were so soon false to nve ?'
"'False to you! Never, for an in-
stant.'
" George, they told me that you
were married. When I leained that
you had so aeon forgotten me, I
abandoned all hope.' .
" Who told you this ?'
" My husband—Dennis Hilton.' -
" He told an infamous lie
" Perhaps he did, but it answered
his purpcose,' said another voice in
mocldrig tones.
" I had left the street door open,
and Dennis himself had staggered in.
" told yon, Master George,' he
continued, " that you wern't always
going to hare it all your own way
with the girls.'•
"Dennis went back into the pas
sage and closed the front door.
- "-'And now yon think that you are
going to make np the old love, do

"'I say that you are a bconudrel,

"'What ! Say that-again. Drunk-

" Never before this evening. I
have been' abroad. I never even

said Mr. Bell.
They had evidently learned . where
they were likely to find the man. they

He bent his eyes upon me; and I

thoroughly, sad atty. thongh it has
long been developed, in obscurity, it
is now= Well known ' among the most
intelligent medical men that it is one
of ihe sees ailed "'filth diseases" of
modern sanitary writers. Its most
ordinary 'exciting cause is air, or
drinking water 'befotded with incre

tain that a person suffering from this
fever may himself infect tbeair of his
room or the water which receives his
excreta with germs of the disease, so
as totransmit it to others. A single

admirably arranged for health. One
could readily believe the statement
that there had not been a case Of

But he soon unravelled , the riddle.
He found that a few weekS before the

PRESIDENT GRANT TO BE BE-NOM
INATED AND RE-ELEOYED.
The Albany Everting Journal says:
It cannot be denied that there are a
few prominent men in the Republican
party who are opposed to the re-nom
mation of Gen. GranL This opposi
tion arises partly from an honest be
lief that it is not wise, in any case, to
re-nominate a President; partly from
the opinion that some other person
would fill the office more creditably
than the present incumbent; partly,
also, because of real or ; fancied per.
sonal grievances; but mostly because
official . patronage ham - not always
been distributed to the satisfaction
of the parties aggrieved. But this
feeling against Gen. Grant's re-nom
ination is neither 'as strong nor as
extended as was the opposition to
there-nomination of Mr. Lincoln.
It is a noteworthy fact, also, that
many of the leading . men, who now
find fault . with Gen. Grant, and wish
to prevent his re-nomination, are the
very men who were even- more d
_-
nunciatory of Mr. Lincoln's "im
cility," and more determined aga'
continuing him in the Presidential
office. Some of their nazun will. b:
found among the -malcontents, wh:
went to the ClevelandConvention'
Thii latter crass are chronic grumb
ler3--men not worth much to an
party, and being', estimated at their
real worth by all parties, are never
satisfied. -.
It is, of course, the pro Vince of any
citizen.to favor - or oppose any man,
for a nomination to any office. But
when the sentiment of a
. party clear
ly borders on unanimity ur favor of a
particular individual, it is simply fac
tions to combat that sentiment. Such
a sentiment exists :to-day in the Re
publican party - in , favor of the re
nomination of General Grant. To
,disregard it would be as fatal as the
attempt to thwart it is foolish.
And it is the sheerest nonsense to
say that General Grant's re-nomina
tion -irmn only be effected by the in
terposition of official influence. If
every man who bolds an office under
the General Government-were form
ally tabooed as delegates, the result
would be still the same. We do,not

attempt to do what is of impossible '
accomphshjnents. .
He has equally endeared hiniself

With or without great names—with

THE BLOOMFIELD GAS.
A late number of the _Rochester
Union says: "The naturalgas from,
the Bloomfield well hast length
been introduced into the city of
Rochester.. The Rochester . gas com
pany laid an iron main to forth a
connection :with the wooden pipe . Of
the Bloomfield -company at the south- . •
errs city line. Yesterday the connec
.tion was fernied and _an opening
'Made in the pipe at. the corner of
afacu and St. Paul streets. A match
Was 'applied to the stream of gas es
caping from the main, and the gas.
burned freely for the first time - in
Rochester. The large jet of flame in
the street attracted the attention 'of
.the curious.

"The Bloomfield Compapy havi
now demonstrated that the gas from
their well -will flow, from its. Own
pressure,-through the pipes to Boa:
ester. The pressnre 'here is not so
great as it - was expected' to be, lint
certain leakages along the route ate
now being repaired,4nd it is expect - -
ed that when this is done a greater
pressure will be obtained. When this
is done the - gits_will• be let into the
reservoir of the Gas Com
pany on the east side of the river,
and experiments made to test the gas
for illuminating purposes. _
"The introd - uction of this -natural
gas to Rochester gives rise to some
discussion among citizens. One class
looks for a'material redactionin the
price of_ the article to consumers.
Another argue that the gas Company
will be - more independent than ever,
and will make no reduction in price.
All hope of competition with natural
gas will be at an end, ' and the com
pany knowing this; will - not reduce
rates.
"If

will, umtran be procured at a much
less cost than the manufactured gem.
the company will reduce•rates to stun ;

much larger business. •
"It-is said that this experiinent of
conducting--. gas for twenty-seven
miles in a pipe witout tapping has nee
precedent on record."
