And labor to keep

There is much we niay do.

A smile or a tear.
Though seeming hut trifles.
Full often may cheer
Each day to our lives
Some pleasure 'twould add,
To be conscious that we
Had made somebody glad.

Of sorrow, so drear.

It was a lover's quarrel no doubt
about that. Sky threatenintr a reg
ular storm brewing one could see
it r.t a glance.
She stood, all flushed and excit
ed, in the curtained bay window,
her fair face clouded, her blue eyes
flashing, her breath coming quick
and fast.
He stood at her side, stern and
pale, his hands clenched excitedly,
his dark eyes full of mingled sorrow
ami passion.
"Ix.ttie!"
William White's voice was low
and intense with feeling.
'It is all yt.ur fault, remember,''
he went on, with an effort at calm
ness. "I have only requested you,
kindly and gently and, as your be
trothed husband. I surely have some
right to desist from these foolish
flirtations. Why, Lottie, you were
flirting last nitjht with that Mr.
P.ookhamnier, whom public opin
ion pronounces a a 1 can't tell
you, only that he is not proper com
pany for you, my darling." Wil
liam's voice lost its angry tone, and
grew very gentle and tender. "You
know that this would not trouble me
so if you were not dearer to me than
my own life. Say you are not an
gry with me. sweetheart."
William White bent his hand
some head, and his dark eyes gazed
into Lottie's blue ones.
Jlut the little lady was in a con
trary mood that morning. She fvlt
like anything but meek submission
to the will of her lover, even though
she knew that all he had said-was
true, and was prompted by his love
and care for her.
Ixittie Dlake was an orphan an
heiress, too just released from the
restrictions of boarding school life.
She had lost both her parents in her
infancy, and had passed the eigh
teen vears of her lite in the care of
nirelings, and later at a fashionable
school, and, pure as a llower, she
had grown up amidst weeds.
She had Wen betrothed to Wil
liam White for nearly a year, and
was now under his mothers care,
passing a few weeks at a watering
place.
Society pronounced Lottie a heart
less tlirf; but she was merely a
thoughtless, careless girl, plunging
headlong into the unaccustomed
gayeties about her with all her
heart.
Surrounded by scores of admir
ers, no wonder her head was nearly
turned with adulation and flattery.
William White's words had touch
ed her pride. Did he then imagine
that, because she was careless and
happy, she was shallow and silly,
and needed a guiding hand?
She mentally resolved to cut Mr.
Bookhammer's acquaintance that
very day; but then William should
not have the satisfaction of thinking
that his Aords had instigated the
step. William had no confidence in
her love, she told herself, Well, let
him think as he pleased.
Ail the girl's defiant spirit was in
arms when William, at last fearing
that he had wounded her sensitive
nature, attempted to set matters
right, lie was struck dumb with
amazement as she turned upon him
with a face that was white and an-
ry, ner blue eyes lairi, scintillat
ing. "You've said enough, William
White !" she cried, passionately. "I
can see now the the mistake I have
made. We were never intended for
each other we are not suited. You
want a wife that will obey you like
a puppet a woman with no will or
mind of her own a perfect (irlsel
da; and I can never submit to tyr
anny in any form. The man I love
must trust me, and since you have
ceased to do that we are best apart
I give you back your freedom."'
"Ixuie, stop !"
He was white as a statue.
''Do you mean what you say?
You do not love me then, Lottie?"
The girl was thoroughly aroused
now and regardless of consequesces.
"Xo!',she cried, madly; "1 do not
love vou anv more."
She dashed aside the heavy cur
tains that draped the bay window.
and was gone. And just then a man
rose from the lounging chair beside
the window, where he had ostensi-1
bly been
and sauntered
slowly awav.
It was Mr. Bookhammer, and
there was a curious smile on his
sensual lips and an evil light in his
gray eyes.
-
"Listeners near no good oi uiem-
eelves," he muttered. "Well, may-
not: but at any rate i know

ESTABLISHED, 1827.
PA., WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER IS. 1SS2.
But Mr. Bookhammer had forgot
ten triat.
For a long time William satin the
bay window, his head bowed, star
ing his misery in the lace. Could it
be true Lottie loved, him. no longer?
j Ah, well, it was better for him to
' know the worst before it was too
late.
An hour or two afterward he saw
Lottie, radient in white organdie
ami pink ribbons, sitting on a rus-
tic seat in the hotel grounds, in con
j versation with Mr. Bookhanimer.
William bit his lip and hurried away
j out of sight Well, after all, it was
nothing to turn now. He had no
longer any right. Lottie had ceased
to love him; and only a few hours
before he would have staked his life
on her love and truth.
I But William did not know what
i was taking place out there in the
cool shade of the oak tree, beneath
which Ijottie was sitting Wside her
obnoxious companion. Mr. Book
hammer had asked Lottie to be his
wife, and had been very decidedly
not to say contemptuously re
fused. And when he arose and left her,
there was an angry uleam in his
wicked eyes, while in his heart he
registered an oath sooner or later to
be avenged.
Lottie came down to dinner in the
great dining room at sunset, to find
William's place vacant.
"Where is Wiliam?" some one was
asking his mother, as Lottie entered
the room and took her usual seat.
Mrs. White looked troubled.
"There's beeu an accident," she
said. "Some men were out fishing;
the boat capsized, ,and two of them
nearly drowned. ..Mr. White was
sent lor in hopes that he could save
them, their families being totally
ignorant of any means of resuscita
tion. But it is several miles down
the beach, and 1 fear it will be late
in the evening before he can re
turn." i
It chanced at that instant that
Lottie raised her eyes, to encounter
a glance from Mr. Bookhanimer,
who was her vis-a-vis. She could
not repress a shudder as she saw
the audacious triumph in his face.
Dinner over, Ixittie threw a shawl
about her and wandered off on the
beach alone. The sun had set now,
and twilight, wierd and uncanny,
was gathering.
Lottie wanted to net away from
everybody, to be alone with her own
thouuhts. Shesat down at the foot
of a tree, and gave way to her bitter
reflections.
A voice aroused her and started
her from her musings. It was the
voice, unmistakably, of young Book
hammer eager, earnest.
, "He bit at the' bait mighty easy,"
Bookhummer exclaimed. "Won't
he be furious," though, when he has
had his long, hard ride for nothing,
and finds that there has been no ac
cident no capsized boat no half
drowned men?"
Bookhammer paused, and laugh
ed heartily.
"And you,re sure the bridge is un
safe?" he went on, eagerly.
"Oh. yes, sir," another voice repli
ed. "The high waters and the late
storms have just played the mischief
with the old thing. Nobody can
pass over it on horseback without
going through sure as shootin' !"
"And there will be no mistake
no failure?" queried Bookhammer.
"White will be sure to come back
that way?"
"He'll have to!" the other answer
ed grimly. "He went by the beach
road, it is true ; but he can't come
back that way after night falls, lor
the tide is in now. No, sir ; there
ain't but one road for William White
to come by, and that is over the old
bridge; and if he crosses or tries to
cross that well, you know the rest."
And, with a savage chuckle, they
moved away.
Lottie sat half stunned at the rev
elation to which she had listened.
She knew the whole vile, murder
ous plot now. This was Bookham
mer's vengeance !
In a flash she saw her own way
clearly. She had brought this on
William White she must save his
life though she lose her own.
She stajryered to her feet, and. I
drawing her shawl about her, turned
away in the direction of the old
bridge, perhaps half a mile distant
from the hotel. To be sure she did
not even know the road he had
taken ; but if she could only cross
the rotten structure, she could then
await his coming on the other side.
She reached the place at last.
Gathering aT her courage together,
she stepped upon the old bridge.
It was nearly dark now, but, with
an agonized prayer for protection,

The veneral Simon Cameron, of
Pennsylvania, has been in this neigh
borhood during the last few days,
paying visits to some of his person
al friends. At the age of 81 he is
as hale and vigorous as a man could
hope to be, and, although he has re
tired from active participation in
public affairs, he watches thfir de
velopment with intense interest, and
with a judgment as clear and as
wise as ever.
There are three conspicuous facts
in the public history of Mr. Camer
on which will certainly form for
him an imperishable distinction in
future years.
The first of these facts is that
when he was Secretary of War in
Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet he recognized
the full force of the truth that sla
very was the turning point of the
great struggle; and, accordinzly, he
was the very first to propose that
negroes should be employed as sol
diers in the Union army.
Another of these facts is that at
the close of his long period of ser
vice as a Senator of the United
States he opposed the Klectoral
Commission, plainly declaring to
his Republican intimates in the Sen
ate that it was infinitely better that
the Republican party should go out
of powtr and that Mr. Tilden and
the Democrats should come in The
people had so decided in the elec
tion; and he held that to retain the
administration and the offices
through any cunning devices against
the will of the people could only
lead to consequent disaster. It is
not too much to say that the sequel
has more than vindicated the sound
ness of this honest judgment. How
many Republican statesmen there
are who now heartily wish they had
followed it?
And finally, we recall the fact that
throughout his protracted career Mr.
Cameron has probably done more
acts of individual kindness, and has
helped more people who needed
help, irrespective "of all distinctions
of sect, or party, or previous condi
tion of servitude, than any other
American of his day.
We think that these things form
a valid claim upon the admiration
of men; and long may this aged
statesman remain among us to en
joy that popular esteem and sym
pathy which he so remarkably de
serve. Xfir York Sun.

anxious to go, he put her upon the

distance, perhaps forty rods, from j
the house, where lie put her down
and told her to run home. He no
ticed that she continued standing
where he left her, and, on looking
back after going a little further, saw
her playing in the sand. He soon
passed out ot sight and was gone
about an hour, expecting, of course,
that the child would return to the
house after playing a few moments.
On returning home he made inquiry
about her of its mother, who said
shc had not seen her and supposed
he had taken her alons with him.
On going to the spot where he left
her, he saw huge bear tracks in the
sand, and at once came to the con
clusion that the child had been car
ried off by the bear. !
The family immediately made j
search through the forest, which was
grown up to almost a jungle, ren- j
dering their search very slow. All
day these anxious parents searched j
for traces of their child; nor did they j
stop when darkness came on, but re
mained in the woods calling the lost
one by her name. Morning came,
and tfieir search was fruitless. A
couple of gentlemen from below,
who were traveling through the
mountains buying stock, came to
the house and, bein informed of
the circumstances, immediately set
out to find her. The gentlemen wan
dered about, and as they were pass
ing a swamp spot where the under
growth was thick, called the child,
or else thf y were talking loud, when
one of them heard her voice. He
then called her by name and told
her to come out of the bushes. She
replied that the bear would not let
her.
The men then crept through the
brush, and when near the spot where
she and the bear were they heard a
splash in the water, which the child
said was the bear. On going to her
they found her standing upon a log
extending about half way across the
swamp. The bear had undertaken
to cross the swamp on the log, and
being pursued left the child and got
awav as rapidly as possible. Hie
had received some scratches about
the face, arms ind legs, and her
clothes were almost torn from her
body, but the bear had net bitten
her to hurt her, oniv the marks of
his teeth being found on her back,
whfre, in taking hold of her clothes
to carry her, he had taken the flesh
also.
The little one says the bear would
put her down occasionally to rest
and would put his nose up to her
face, when she would slap him, and
the bear would hanc his head bv
her side
und purr and rub against
her like a cat. The men asked her
if she was cold in the night, and
she told them the old bear lay down
beside her and put his "arms"
around her and kept her warm,
though she did hot like his long
hair. She was taken home to her
parents.

against Beaver. There was not a man
in I'ennsylvania who did notkaow
that to go to the people in the elec
tion districts and contest for the
nomination with General Beaver
would result in defeat. There was
no mystery whatever about the suc
cess which attendetl the General as
he passed through the State. His
record as a patriot and his high
character as a man preceded him,
and won for him a welcome such as
' o i,

cral in
I'ennsylvania could have
secured
Had the candidacy of General
Beaver been sprung upon the Con
venticn by some power behind it,
there would have been some reason
for the revolt against him. But it
was evident enough months before
the Convention met that Beaver
would be nominated in spite of op
position from any quarter. If ever
a candidate was indicated by the
people he was indicated. He was
satisfactory to the masses every
where. If it be said that he was
satisfactory to the bosses also, we
reply that they were face to face
with Ilohson's choice. Had the
bosses clubbed their strength against
him in the Convention, boss rule
would have ended then and there.
If the acceptance of a candidate by
any particular individual is to lie
held a good enough reason for op
posing the candie'iute without refer
ence to any of the facts or circum
stances, ami without reference to
character or deserving, we are un
able to account tor the equanimity
with which these objectors contem
plate the possible success of Mr.
1'attison. He is acceptable to sev
eral persons whose repute as roosters
and bosses is notorious, and whose
public records exhale a decidedly
corrupt odtir.
But we do not affect to forget that
it would have made no difference
had General Beaver received his
nomination against the utmost that
Senator Cameron might have done
to defeat him. No objection was
made to the nomination of General
Beaver by either .Mr. Lear or Mr.
Marshall the only men of any note
in that Convention now opposing
him. Why did they not protest
against the nomination of General
Beaver then? Has he changeel in
anything since they joined in making
his nomination unanimous? Did
they not know as much about him
men as ttiey Know now .' e are
bound to assume that they knew no
reason why he should not bear the
party standard at that time, for
otherwise, if honest and honorable
men, they would have entered their
prote-sts of record. That this oppo
sition to lieneral i .caver was an af
ter thought, suggested by something
or somebody of which or of whom
we have no knowledge, is as clear io
most observers as that there is an
opposition in that quarter. We
question no man's right to oppose
General Beaver or any other candi
date, but only the insincere pretext
made for opposition. The opposi
tion may be sincere, but the reasons
assigned are not the right reasons.
It might not flatter anybody con
cerned were the true reasons set

Jail" Reef was reached, and they
! were cpon uriexr)lomJ und. The
reef was about three feet under wa
ter and covered with smail heads ol
the coral known as Meandnna, in
terspersed with fans and plumes.
The boat was hauled between two
of the. heads, and Tom, Harry and
the others were sitting on her gun
wale restinz when thev were attract-
edby a shout from Will, who had
waded away over the heads.
"Here's a" queer looking something
under the corals !" he shouted.
! "Come over!"
The boys moved off in this direc
tion. "It looks like a bundle of snakes,"
j he continued.
"Well, here goes !" and aiming his
.grains at the object. Will let drive at

ed. The boys pushed hard, but were
yet twenty or thirty yards from Will
when he jumped upon a coral head
with a scream, and up from the wa
ter, clinging to hia legu, appeared a
slimy, writhing, clinging mass of
flesh that horrified the boys.
Will had lost his hold "upon the
spear, but courageously drew his
case-knife and cut at the monster,
that had now crept up to his waist
"It is an octopus !" shouted Tom,
as the boat rushed into the head of
coral, and seizing his spear over
board he went, ami as Harry grasp:
ed Will's extended arm and tried to
drag him into or towards the boat he
hurled his spear again and azain in
to the creature and endeavorod to
push it from Will's knee, where it
had now settled under the vigorous
blows ot the knife.
Two of the arms were severed in
this way, but the others clung like
leeches, winding about his legs,
doubling and twisting all the while.
Will w;is faint and weak, but the
rest encouraged him, and finally he
struck a deep blow into the body of
the monster, and Tom, settling down
almost under the water, with a tre
mendous lift tore the ugly creature
fromits hold.
At the same moment the boys in
the boat, who had clung to Will,
fairly jerked hirn into the boat, with
some of the arms of the octopus still
clinging to him.
Tom was not a moment behind,
as the creature had escaped from
him. and he was likewise hauled
aboard.
Will was badly cut; his legs, arms
and neck were covered with round
marks, as if he had been cupped,
and some of them bled badly, while
other sharp bites were evidently the
marks of parrot-like bills.
The water for many feet about
them still showed evidence of the
struggle, being as black as ink from
the sepia the animal had ejected in
its fear and rage.
Will was determined to"have the
body of the octopus. So after the
water had cleared, they commenced
the search, and finally the ugly fel
low or what was left of it was
found under a clump of branch
coral.
The boat was held over the spot,
and three spears were sent into it at
once. Even now it struggled hard,
ami as they lifted it aboard the
creature dragged at least fifty
pounds of the dead coral with it
But once in the boat it was soon fin
ished with a hatchet, and packed
away in half a barrel, which it near
ly tilled, and was found to weigh af
terwards 170 pounds.
"You would'nt believe a creature
like that would have so much
strength," said Will, as they started
for home.
"As soon as I hit it, it seemed to
run up the spear, and nearly twist
ed the pole out of my hands, and
the water became as black as ink,
and the first thing I knew I felt
something like a red hot band clasp
my leg, and then another, and then
I made a jump for the "head," and
the animal tried to climb upon me.
I don't know whether he was trying
to attack me or escape; but I've
learned one lesson never to strike
at an octopus unless you are in a
boat."
A Fair Weather Soldier.
In hunting up the battlefield of
Jonesboro I came across the usual
score of blind roads leading no ODe
knew where, and in following on
through the wootls I came to a point
where a fence blocked further prog
ress. On the other side of the fence
was a farmer hoeing corn, and after
the usual talk about the weather I
asked:
"Say, colonel, is this the end of
this road?"
"Yes.;'
"Don't it go any further?"
"Not a rod."
"And I've got to rifle back?"
"I reckon so; but you'd better
come over to the house and have a
bite first"
"Won't it put you to any trouble,
sir?"
"Not a bit Ride down into the
scrub and you'll find a low spot
where you can jump the horse."
When I had followed . direction
and reached his side, he contin
ued :
"Stranger. I want to post you in

down here they ripped open our
feather beds, broke open our chests,
mashed our crockery anel stole our
chickens. I never laid it up agin
'em, but my wife can't forpet it.
When we reach the house she'll take
a squint at ye and ask if ye are from
the North. You U say yes, and then
shell ask if you was in the Yankee
army. You'll say yes, and then
shell open on you and call you all
sorts of hard names. You won't
pretend to hear a word, and shell
heave chairs and Ifootjacks and flat
irons at ye and yell ft our four dogs
to chaw ye up. That's a whim of
hers, vou see. but she can't hit ye if
you are good at dodging, and the
dogs das nt bite anybody.
"But I don't want to be greeted

"Yon never mind. It's only a

around she'll set to and cook the

There was a chap here from Chicago
only last week, and after he had
dodged three chairs, a dozen sticks
of wood and six milk pans, the old
woman pulled him off the boss and
made him feel so much at home that
I reckon he may marry our oldest
gal this fall."
I positively declined to take din
ner with him and I think I hear
him calling yet as I galloped away :
