The garden'! brightost glories by rammer auns are

There Is no place like the old placo lib ore yob and

Where we lifted first our eyelids on the iplendori ef

Whore the dear eyes gli'tcnod o'er us that will look

Thero Is no friend like the old friend who has shirred
our morning days,
No greeting like bis welcome, no homage like bis
I praise ;
Fnnio is the scentless Sower, with gandy crown of

every fold.

TALES AND SKETCHES.
A STOHY FOR SUSPICIOUS PEOPLE.
A lady pnrclinctl ft bome 'in a Vnutiful
village, about forty miles from a well known
city. Site longed for fresh air anti quiet
scenes, and doubtless the would have found
all the happiness which she sought in this
pleasant retreat, had not the place been
lianntcd by that terrible spectre Fistnthtl.
"Have you seen the new nrrival?" asked
ITrs. Thomas, of hor neighbor, Mra. Law
rence, about a week after thu stranger took
possession of ilnple Cottage, as the little
place sho had purchased was culled.
A curl of the lip and a shrug nf the shoul
ders was all tho reply made ly Mrs. Law.
rence ; but in the gestures Mrs. Thomas saw,
or supposed she saw, a sufficient rcaerm for
shunning the ncquuintaucc of the strauger.
Had Mrs. Lawrence, who was a great
) stickler fur aristocratic society, answered the
question in words ; had she expressed Iter
real opinien of her new neighbor in tangible
form, no very great results would have oc-
curred. for she would have said "Yts, I have
seen her ; she had on a cheap delaine dress, :
and I hear sho does her own washing," no !
very serious charges, but according to Mrs, i
j Lawrence's ideas rf "good society,"quite stif-
! ficient to deprive her of till claim to the title
i of "lady" lieuce her curled lip and shrug of
disgust.
Mrs. Thomas, who was very jealous anil
suspicious, translated this sign language in
: her own way. Ueing extremely sensitive as
, to what Mrs. Grundy should say, she wns
'always on the wateb,1ert accidentally, she
. should bet seen speaking to persons of low
character; therefore she caught at this straw,
I and turned it over in her mind, until she
I made out a very serious case for the strang
er. "I have no doubt," bIhj said to her hus
; band at night, "that she has a bad reputa
tion a. the city. She has coma here dressed
in deep mourning, but who knows whether j
sho ever had a husband ? And if she had
her wearing black is no sign he's dead, in '
my opinion," and Mrs. Thomas drew her j
mouth into a most sanctimonious expression
a look which most always indicates the
Pharisaical, "I am better thun thou!" I

in the store of Mr. Thomas, waiting for the
arrival of the daily mail, which was due
about this hour. The stranger came in to
make some trifling purchases and was stared
at by the people, as strangers always are.
After she left the store, some remarks were
made concerning her lady-like appearance.
Mr. Thomas immediately rejoined, "Yes, she
appears enough like a lady, tmt my wife
thinks her reputation none the best."
Customers coming in, nothing more was
said at that time, but the firs of scandal was
kindled the story spread rapidly, each ono
telling it in bis own way, until there was not
a Rmily in tho place but heard and believed
the lying rumor.
Weeks passed on, orrfl the inmate of Maple
Cottage felt that for some reason she was
looked upon with much suspicion and dis
like. There was no hostility, nothing said
or done, for which sho could demand an ex
planation. She tried to remember some act
or word which could have given offence ;
but in vain did she call to mind every word
she had ever spoken to the villagers the
could remember nothing in her conduct to
warrant such neglect, and she could only
suffer in silence.
Every day seemed to increase the avoi
dance of her neighbors ; and she, seeing this,
ceased making overtures toward an acquaint
ance with them, sending to the city for her
household supplies, and never came in con
tact with any of them, save at church ; and
even here she most generally found a whole
seat at her disposal.
At last the storm which had so lone dark
ened the village horizon, seemed about to
burst over her head. There were low threats
of driving ber out from the place, and the
mob spirit seemed to be gathering strength
About this time, some three months alter
tue stranger came to Maple Cottage, a very
handsome traveling carriage, drawn by a
span of noble grays, stopped in front of Iter
dwelling, and a Duo looking man, apparently
about fifty years of age, with his wife and
two children, were seen to alight and enter
the house. . All that day and through the
evening, there was heard the sound of happy
voices, mingicu WAtntua rippling laughter
ot joyous uearts.
The next day was Sunday, but this time
tht widow did not ait alone. Strange looks.
and low murmured words ran through the
congregation, and the mi-is taf seamed to
share the surprise of his audience, and looked
and preached as tbougb under paintui em
barrassment. He recognized in the stranger,
a minister, wbeae reputation was world-wide
no ether than the rich and the distinguish
ed President of College, from which
he was a eraduate.
Professor O. remembered bis former pupil,
Dut it must ds coniessca ne was Doth sur
prised and disappointed. He bad given the
yonngTBan credit for individual talent, but
this sermon was a repetition ff poor platl
tudeSj and a truckling to public opinion;
which showed a wcitk and little amrrd.
After service, tfib President stopped a mo
ment until the preacher canto forward, and
when the greetings were over he said, kindly:
"My sister wrote me that llichard Forbes
was preaching hero, but I did not connect
the name with tho memory of my formei
pupil."
"Your sister 1" said the embarrassed young
man. "I was not aware that I had ever had
the honor of preaching before such a hearer.
You do not mean to say that the woman
with whom you entered is your sister?"
"And why not ?" It is now Prof. C.'s turn
to look surprised.
Sure enough, why not ? 'Wliat did he
knoff against the woman of w hom all bad
been"epeaklng evil'Tor the last three months.
He had taken these cruel surmises for grant
ed, and had been so far influenced by the
scandal that he had failed to call upon the
stranger. A scuse of the impropriety and
guilt of his cosduct rushed across his mind
suppose the woman was really the dis
graced and guilty heing that public opinion
the public opinion of the village claimed,
was it not his tluty to save sinners ? Christ
came, "not to call the righteous, but tiiineri
to repentance !" How bad he fulfilled his
mission t And yet lit! stood in his pulpit
and claimed to be a follower of the meek
and lowly Savior.
"There is something about this matter that
I cannot understand," said Prof. C, as he
scanned the changing courrtenance of the
joung preacher. ' You do not mean to say
that my sister has been a resident of your
place and ft listener to your preaching for
three months, without yonrcalling upon hei?
Tho dnties of a prencher are surely better
defined"
"Hut I c'.id not dare t" and here the poor
man stammered and stopped for he could
not excuse hiui-oclf, without; exposing the
gossip of the congregation.
"Did not daro to call on my sister, the
widow of 'General Finch?" and tho tinge
of contempt mingled with the look of sur
prise and indignation with which he con
templated the abashed and crest 1'iiUen young
preacher.
After reaching his sister's residence, ha
questioned her in regard to the matter; but
bete ho was again balUed. bite could only
tell him that, since her residence in the
place, she had been "let rtlone," in tho full
acceptance of the term. Determined to un
derstand the wherefore of such a proceeding,
ho again demanded an explanation of the
minister, who was finally compelled to admit
that he had supposed, from the gossip of
his church members, that the woman was a
very outcast from society, and that there
had been talk of driving her from the place.
"Sho will not care to remain," said the
Professor ; "but before she goes, I shall sift
this matter thoroughly ;" and so hu did,
gathering up, link by link, the whole chain
of scandal until he came to Mrs. Lawrence.
Hut this the latter utterly denied, ami Mrs. '
1 uomas was at last obliged to coctess that
Mrs. Lawrence had merely shrugged hr
shoulders and curled her lip,- when ashsd

"Ah, indeed !" was Mrs. Lawrence's re
joinder. "I remember of thinking she could
not be much of a lady, as she wore a faded
delaine and did her own washing!"
A nd there the matter rested. Mrs. La w
reico, with u look aud u shrug of the shoul
ders, and Mrs. Thomas by jealous surmises,
had caused sorrow and pain 4o an iunocent
person they had, in fact, stolen the g iod
name of one who had never injured tbun",
and but for the timely appearance of her
brother, the consequences might have still
been more serious.
The Professor preached the following Sun
day, and at the conclusion nf the discourse
he repeated the tale of wrong, adding, "Had
this woman really been poor and friendless,
as supposed, what would the end have been?
Deprived of her good name, and in conse
quence, of all means of earning a livelihood,
she would doubtless have been discouraged
and despondent, and sunk down to the grave
a victim of the scandal of those falsely call
ing themselves Chrhlinn ; and you, in the
sight of God, would not only have been
classed among liars, but murderers."

a victory which shall say to the on-looking

victory to show rebels they are respectively
but earnestly invited to take back seats,
Cheers and cries of good. There are many

We have a right to be proud of ours as the
only organization in this land that when the
storm cloud of war hung over it and traitors
sought to make our flag the winding sheet
of the world's best hope, and fired upon its
defenders, wo have the right to be proud
that uot one bullet was fired by members of
our party. We have the right to be proud
that not one dollar of this vast debt caused
by the war was incurred by our party. Ho
other party bus a record like this. We can
bequeath it to our children as the most price
leas inheritance a parent ever bequeathed to
his son. There is something prouder than
this no Republican ever broke the heart of
a soldiers wito ; upon no iteputmcan s nanus
rests the blood of the brave defenders of our
lanci. This army of orphans, made so by
rebel bullets, can look. upon us and say eur
nartv is not resDonsible for it. When the
lime came for the organization 01 vuta young
and vigorous party ofonrs, we hurled it upon
the institution of slavery, and made this
land of ours in fact what it bad been la
poetry before, "the land of the free aud the

the military power of the rebellion was
crushed, it waa our organization, and ours
alone, that stood as nrin aa mo sinuu ,
that rebels should not assume au

And now, thanking you for your aid in

that for this sublime declaration fwr the

in the prosperity of jour country, in the

uttered those words more powerful than

were : ' Lkt us have teace." The millions
of this country will have peace, and intend
to command it by crushing out the spirit of
rebellion, and thus reviving a spirit of fra

The jvttlgos tf elections were divided as
to the propriety of receiving these ladies'
votes, one of them stating that he was in
favor of doing so, and the two others ob
jecting on the ground of theif alleged
illegality.
The ladies stated that they had taken
advice of eminent lawyers, and w ere satisfied
that women aro legally entitled to vote in
New Jersey, from the fact that the Md con
stitution of the state conferred suffrage upon
"nil Inhabitants" worth f 250.
Lndcr that old constitution women did.
in fact, very generally vote. Hut in 1807,
by an arbitrary act of the legislature, women
were excluded trom the polls.
The now Constitution, ndoptcd in 1 S4 t,
waa framed by a convention and adopted by
a constituency from both of which women
were thus nnconsututionatly excluded. Bo
that they have never been allowed to Tote
upon the question of their own disfranchise
ment. The artWe rn the preset Coristltotlon rm
the right of suffrage confers it upon "white
male citizens," but does not expressly limit
it to such.
It is claimed that from the compulsory
exclusion ef the purtits interested from the
formation and adoption of the new Consti
tution, aud from the absence of any express
limftfttiUh therein, t'le political rights of
women under the old Constitution still
remain valid.
