serious than the anti-elericil . deterna

There had lately come: to the farm.

she had never beard.
And the denouncement destik

'We nre one till den. h`rdo, us part,
what use are reproaches ?'
So just before Alice took her holi
day to visit her friends Thornhurv.
'(ins elected to spend fa: week or two
with an tild , college fri'etyl-at Bristol ;
and one morning a . rytilet little wed

wile a good, honest, Sensible letter,
but it matte. Mrs. Penny furious:
She tore her air, stamp ed,'ereatri
ed. flung herself on the - floor, Went
into xiolent hysterics,, and then lay
.for half a day on the sofa, so hing
and moaning. Utterly unreasonable
it was" as every one 'must, see;
not unnatural. The cherished par
nose Mr five-and-twenty years had
heen, plat as it seemed on the eve-or
accomplishment; irrevocably dashed
into ruins, and the poor )ady'acleso
tation of so.d was complete. Her
hoy, her hope, her onelove, passion-,
ately loved under that tioeer, eecen
irle, autocratic, half comic exterior,

ill the brisrhtness of life; Presently,
like David of old, sbe arise from the
Paull, and washed and anoin'ed her
self, and changed her apparel, and
-tuned bread to be 'set before tier,
ind she did eat. -There was nothing

For any longer.,
When • her husband approached
her sopewhat awe-struck, with home
ly words of comfort; she repelled
him with fierce scorn, and imperati

bitterness was , all her own. She
went about her household and . farni
itralrs as . . usual, but more silently.
virh pale face, compressed lips, and
fierce fire in the clear gray eyes of
heirs. '
Then, npon a day, the old gates
-- , Wung hack; and she, saw the
ynnng man coming up •to the
'louse with his bride whose fee , •

crinkled from the bruised and wound

Senator 'Cameron's Speecti.
Oar senior Senator, Mr. Cameron.
delivered a very excellent Speech in
the United Stares Senate li
. orr theXit
ult., on the subject of taxation.
, The following synopsis and ex
:.racts from it; will eve the .reader
I,ood idea'of the views,of one . of tl!e
hest practical business men - of- the
!State.
,The basis of . Senator .CamerOn's
speech - was a resolution offered b . }
that it is expedient • to reduim ,
the revenue of the Government h 3
, Lbolishing all existing interno! rove
oue taxes except those imposed or.:
high wines and:distilled spirits. „
He said that . tli public debt "way.
r dueed more than` one hundred mil
lions of dollars last year, and that i!
the present rate of "taxation is eon
,inued. be whole debt will be pithi
•itf in ten or twelve years. He.think,
it iS.not wiSe.or-prud,nt to "tax tlit
people so heavily to pay it off in so
-hort.aperiod.
He rernarks:
No one will deny the wisdom of
thelegislators.who inaugurated tht
scsteu of reducing the debt, or - .tht.
patriotism'of, , the -people who hay.
endured a heavy lo'd . of taxation tt,.
pay the. interest and reduce theprin
•lpal of such indebtedness. Both .
have been causes of wonder. to' tht
world, and _have sewn the strength.
, ionesty, and prudence attainable un
der a republican form of goveromen
in Matters where it was thought t.t .
he weak. It is acknowled - that 91.
course -thus pursued by .Corigre,is.
arni supported by•the people, has ha. ,
'everal good xesufts. The exercist
.f the power of the Government an.
the cheerful submission.to the -egad
ing nature of the lazes by the peoplt
has h•td an undoubted tendency tt„
elevate and strengthen the morn!
tone of the nation, giving the peopl.
more.contidence in each other, :illl 7
compelling the approval of - the world.
It has reduced - the prineipal . sum .o
our national indebtedness .until it is
entirely? Within the_yrady4, - ontrol o'
the financial ability of the people ei
',her to pay off or - pay_ the interes ,
there On. a lt has established - the cred
it of the country, and brought it ui
from a 'position where the six pel,
- cent. gold bonds of the United.titate.
before the war would not command
part o a present premium of, : seven
teen-per cent. •on a four pet 'cent.
bond, and to the ready exchange
called six per . cent.. bonds into , ,, nev,
ones bearing three and One-half pep
cent. interest. It has -- demonstratei
the ability orthe . country not only
to carry on a most :expensive intei
nal war, but to pay otf a cost in
time unknown to any other people
and further, that the ability of Lb.
country to-furnish men and material
of war and to _meet increased Gan
vial demands •is cumulative. TI..

etc He di gues from this that when
ever a reduction is possible.,it of

Mr: CamerOn frankly admits
another great reason for -advocatin t
a reduction of :nternal revenue taxef,
is to.prevent.any material, change be
ing made in the tariff laws as Lie}
now.exist.

. 0n the National banking question ,
and the relation of the banks to the-
National debt, he says : -
The second great interest of the
people, which will very shortly be di
rectly affected by the , large - and in
creasing surplus revenues of the
country, is the system - of national
banks, and this through the decrease
of the public indebtedness'by the ap-'
plication orthe annual surplus to its
payment. The large annual reduc
tion of the ' public debt will very
shortly begin to affect the confidence
of the public in' the continuation of
the system. It will increase public -
anxieties and excite their fears as to
a substitution of any other system
for this that has proven so accepta
ble and so valuable to the country. •
If the national banking system is to
,he worked out of existence, it will in
evitably cause serious financial trou- .

It is also important in this connec

that the increasing business of the
country will annually require in
