LOVE IN THE cutups.
"Axn this is the fellow that wants to mar

to give Annie to a coward like !yin !" an
shouted bonestVaseer Joss,. the sacriatan of
the cathedral of Vienna. as be stood in the
public room of the "Adam and Eve"
booed slier the aiurrY, retreatine figure
of 31s4ter Otthar, the head-mason. _
As he spoke, an honest -young gardener,
named Gabriel, entered ;_and for a moment
the S-outh's handsome face fleshed high, as he
thought the sacristan's words Were directed
at him. For it was the ole, oldatory. Ga
briel and Annie bad platied together and
loved each other before they t new the mean.
lea of the word love;
and - when, a few
months before, they ha d found it out, and Ga.
hriel proposed to make Annie his -wife, her
father rejected hitn with scorn. The young
gitrderer had little to offer besides an honest
heart and a pair of industrious hands, while
Master Ottkar, the mason. bad both houses
and, money. -, To him, then, sorely against
her will, was the pretty Annie promised;
and poor Gabriel kept away from the sieris
fan's pleasant cottage, Manfully
. endeavoring
to root out his love while exterminating, the
weeds in his garden. But somehow, it hap
paned that, although the docks and thistle. 4
withered and died; link, 'other - pertinacious
plant, clinging and twining like the wild con.
.reisulus, grew and fleuristed,:martured, per
chance, by an Devotional distant, glimpse of
sweet Annie's pale cheeliand drooping form.
' •So matters stied, when one day, as Gabriel
was passint throne' a crowded street, keeigh
bor hailed him : . ,
" Great new; my boyl glorioui news !
Our Leopold has been chosen emperor at
Frankfort.. Long - live the. Rouse of Austria
He is to make his triumphal entry here in a
day. or two. *..Come with me to the 'Adam
and Ere,' and we will drink his health, and
liter all about it." . .
. .
In . spite of his dejectio n. Gabriel would
have been no trim-son of Vienna if he had
zefused this invitation ; and, waving 'his cap
in sympathy with his comrade's enthushom,
he hagtened with hint to theinn.
We hive already seen how the unexpected
sppearance and more unexi;ected words of
Mastcr_Joss met him on . his entrance. In
the height of his indignstion t the sacribtaf,
did not 'observe Gabriel, and continued io ths.

" I : declare, I'd give this_moment full and
free pertniisiOn to woo and win my daughter
to any hotteq young fellow who would wave
the 'tanner in my stend—ay, and think hey
well rid of that cowardly maslu.“
From dine immemorial,it has .been the

devotion to his. interest 4 and whine daily oc

What, then, was his chagrin and indigna?

his approaching happiness. Meanwhile. Ott.
knr swallowed his chagrin as he best might,
and kept aloof froth 'Master :foss"; -.but 'he
might have been seen holding frequent and
secret communications wit hLawrence, a man
who assisted 'the sacristan in the taro of the
choral.
The day of the young emperors trithriphal

reach Vienna before evening; and at the ap
pointed hour the sacristan' mbraced Gabriel,
; and. giving,hith thelianner of the House of
Austria, gorgeously embtoidereN, Said :
" Now, my boy, up in-God's name! Follow
Lawrence; he'll guide you safely to the top
of the spire, and afterwards assist you in
corn lit dbfri!:".
Tic e hundred and fiftp steps to the top of
the tower? Mere child's play—the young
gardener flew up them With a joyous atcp.---
Then came two hundredwooden stairs over
the clock-tower and belfry ; then live steep
ladders up the narrow pinnacle. Courage !
A few more bold steps—halfakhour of peril
—then triumph, rewarEl, the prielt'e blessing,
and the joyful'' ` Yok!" beforethe altar. Ah,
how heavy was the banner to drag upwards
—how dark the strait, stony shaft! Hold,
thee is the trap-door. Lawrence, and an
assistant who aecoMpanied him, pushed' Ga

"That's it !";cried Lawrence ; "you'll see

we'll throw you's' rope ladder with hooks.—

feet and 'bends clinging to tee slender iron ;
projections; felt himself hanging over a tre- I
meudous precipice, while the. cold evening
breeze ruffled his hair. He had still, bur

himself ori"a part of the spire sculptured in
the similitude of a ro'e, and then, after two
or three daring,atepts i still higher, to bestride

desert of the upper air, and- the cruel wind
strove with him, and struggled to wrest the
heavy banner' from his hand: 1 ‘ Annie, An
nie, I ds fur thee!" he murmured, and the
sound of that sweet name nerved him to en
durance.. Ile wound his left arm firmly
round - the iron bar which supported 'he gold
en-star, surmounted by, a crescent, that
served as a weathercock , and with the right
waved the Sig, which flapped and rustled
like .the wing of some mighty bird of prey.
The sky—how near it seemed—grew dark
above his head, and the lights and bonfires
glanced upwards from the great city below:
But thasries of rejoicing came faintly on his
ear, until one long-continued shout, mingled
with the sound of drum. and 'trumpets ; an-
nouncea-the appreaeh of Leopold. '

shouted Gabriel, and waved his banner proud
ly: But tbe deepening twilight and the dizzy
height rendered birkunicen and, unheard by
the busy crowd Whim. _
The deep voice of the tat 'Adria clock tolltd,
the hour; , - -
"Now my task is ended," said Gabriel,
drawing a deep sigh:of relief, and Shivering
in the chilly breeze. "Now I have only to
get dOwn and give the signal."
More heedfulliand slowly `than he had as
tended, be began l'isdeseent. Only once he
'looked upward to the-golden star . and cres

the dark sky.
Ha!" said be, "doesn't it look - now as if

Be quiet, Mohammed !"
A few More courageous steps landed him
once more amid the petals of the - gigantic

deild the only coigne of vantage for his feet
to rest on. '
lie' furled his banner tightly together, Ind
: " Lawrence! Albert ! here!

More loudly and,sh►illy did Gabriel, reit•
erate the call:
Not a icrd, not a stir below.
." Holy Virgin . can t hey ba re forgotten

poth fellow iduud ; and the sighing wind
seemed to anima' like a melting demon.

hinted in Gehriol i s ear i "Renounce thy sal:

followed by a burning heat, and - he grasped
the pinuachriwith a convulsive tightness. A
voice seemed to whisper In his ear:

"Must I. then, die?" -murmured Gabriel,

At length Arnold said :
"I am longing to see. Annie, father. I

my friend Gabriel, who used .0 he - tat fond
of her when we were all children together ?"
The sacristan sprang from his scat.
"Gabriel ! Holy Virgin ! I _had quite

. A rapid - .explanation ' followed: Master
-Joss and his sow hastened towar4s.the cattle

" Where is Gabriel I" cried the sacristan.
"I don't know ; I have, not seen him since
he climbed through the trapdoor."
"But who helped him down?"
* Why, you yourself, of course," replied
Albert, with al .ok of astonishment. " Law.

Bravely did he surmount the perilo4s 'pro.

"There 'certainly is aligure standing on

CLIAIRMAN: Within the last - five hie
tem'', a strange fanaticism hasped!" its rip,
pearance in this country—a fanaticism at
once monstrous and malign. Twenty-flee
years ego, by universal sentiment tzfAte'
country, slavery was deemed a moral, social.
and political evil; a wmcg to the slefe, an
injury pt the rtener, a blight . . on the soil,l
detriment to all the.hest interests of the corn
muniiies or States where it was found. and.
in its reflex influence, a reproach and damage
to the whole country. By many, it may be,
this dises'ee was considered incurable, bite
(till en evil.' But within the period indicated,
n.different sentiment has sprung up. Thi
tsnatlcism deems slavery nut an evil, but -
blessing.,
Formerly by all, and still by all right.think - .
ing men, slavery was regarded as a had, ug
ly, dawned, wrinkled, - and covered with
the daub end paint of harlotry; but now we
are told it is an angel ...of. beauty,- a virgin
d e cked in bridal attire, to be gazed nn with
complacency and love! Candidates who as
pire to gubernatorial honora are made to 're
nnunce opinions held a quarter of a century
ago, and give in their adhesion to this new
dogma, to wit: that slavery is a blessing, -4-
It is not any longer the question how a can
cer can be.cured--whether by knife ; or caus
tic, or other remedial egencies ; but to, have
a armee is now proclaimed to be a soUndatid
normal condition of the human, system the
highest type"of hvdth, and, Ron the fitA, An
°liniment and. beauty not.. Every one, to
enjoy perfect health, must have this form of
disease gnawing at his vitals. The spirit eof
ails fanaticism has taken possession of the
Democratic party, and worked therein a won
derful and almost incredible transformation ;
for, since the Ages drew 'bp the . reins and,
started on their journey, I do not suppose
they have, witnessed such a stupendous liens
the Democratic party now is. I speak of
the organization, without any reference to
the_ individuals who compose the party.—
" From the sole of the foot even' unto the
bead, there is no soundresa in it ; but yrounds,
