"The shortest way by half a mile— I come o very often by It— la up the road, across the stll^ And through the meadow. Shall we try It V' The days were not without a charm When, talking soft and looking silly, My lore and I walked arm-in-arm, And lanes were lone and fields were stilly. We found so many things to say " That always, In the shiny weather, We took the—well, the thorler way, To be a longer time together. We spoke about (but, goodness knows Our topics of confabulation)— About the weather, 1 suppose, The crops, the harvest and the nation. At all events, although the talk Was neither wise nor witty, We ended each successive walk With 'Home already—what a pltyT" We might hare lost a little ground Through coming try the road selected, But both agreed that we had found The journey shorter than expected. Can Life's experiment support The paradox that Love proposes T Does any path seem very short, Unless it be a path of roses T We seldom find the nearer way ; And If we hit upon and take It, By creeping on from day to day It teems as long as length can make It. The road to fame Is never brief, The way to wealth Is dull and dreary; All earthly routes, In my belief, Are very long aDd weary. Nay— one that leads through care and strife Is short, when mortals once begin It; We take the '-near cut" out of life, Although we take the longest in It. NEVER SATISFIED. A man in his carriage was riding along, A gaily dressed wife by his side ; in satin and lace she looks like a queen. And he like a king in his pride. A wood-sawyer stood on the street as he parsed, The carriage—the couple he eyed, And said, as he worked with his saw on a log. 1 wish I was rich and could ride. The man In hia carriage remarked to his wife. One thing I would If I could, I'd give all my wealth for the strength and health Of the man who is sawing the wood. A pretty young maid with a bundle of work, Whose face, as the morning was fair, Went tripping along with a smile of delight, While humming a love breathing air. She looked In the carriage—the lady she saw, Arrayed In apparel so lined. And said. In a whisper, 1 wish In my heart Those eating and laces were mine. They lady looked ont on the mftid with herwwortk t So fair In her calico dress, Ami said, I'd relinquish position and wealth, Her beauty and youth to possess- Thus it Is In this world ; whatever our lot, Our mind and time we employ In longing and sighing for what we hare not,' Ungrateful fur what we enjoy. ADOPTED. "It's very strange," mused Blanche Pen roy, slowly weaving together the wreath of scarlet autumn leaves with which she was decorating her broad-brimmed straw-hat. "I know so little about him ; I have only known him ten days, and yet, wheti he spoke about leaving Elm Point, last night, it seemed as if all the sunshine were gone out of the world. Oh, Blanche ! you naughty little Blanche !" she added, lean ing forward, and apostrophising the fair face mirrored in the glen-stream at her feet. •'! it possible that you've allowea yourself to fall in love with that tall, dark-eyed fel low ?" The roses mounted ujj into her cheek as she wondered within herself whether Gil bert Evering cared for her. "I wish I knew," she uttered aloud. "Knew what ?" demanded a calm voice, and Mr. Evering seated himself on the log beside her—a straight handsome man, with brilliant black eyes, regular' features, and a deep color glowing through his olive skin. Blanche demurely looked up at him. She was not to lie taken by stonn thus easily. •'I wish I knew whether it will rain to morrow, for I want to wear my white India muslin at our picnic." "Oh, the picnic ! I had forgotten that, when I spoke of leaving to-morrow. Of course, though, my presence or absence would make no very great difference." Somehow that scarlet and brown-spotted maple leaf required a gr£at deal of extra adjustment in the ribbons of her hat "Blanche, shall I go or stay ?" "Just as you please." "No, just as somebody else pleases. Y'es or no ! And I forewarn you that yes means a great deal." "How much does it mean now ?" ques tioned Blanche, half archly, and timorous "Everything." "Tlien yon may stay !" "My Blanche, my little white daisy !'" hp whispered, bending his stately head over the slender hand that lay on the autumn leaves. And Blanche felt that in the gold jen stillness of that October dell she had turned over a new page in her life. She was very happy, and all that day she | seemed to be groping through the bright mysteries of a dream. But with the morn ing came other feelings. Alas ! that shad ow should always follow sunshine in this world 6f ours. "I am not disposed to be unreasonable, Blanche," said (jjlbert, in a whisper, as fas " To Speak his Thoughts is Every Freeman's Right. " arranged her white lace shawl for her amid the merry tumult of the picnic ground, "but I think that you liave waltz quite of len enough with that puppy Birming ham." "Zealous, already, Gibert ?" taunted the girl, flushed and rosy with the triumphs of her l>eauty, and the irresistible instincts of ooquetry. She colored, crimson. "Of course you will do as you please ; only I warn you, Blanche, it's a choice be tween me and Birmingham. You dance with him at your own risk." At that instant Walter Birmingham came up, and respectfully asked "if he could have the pleasure of a polka with Miss Pen rov ?" # And Blanche, defiant and willful, and a little piqued, answered, "Yes," And glided away with her plump hand on Birmingham's shoulder. Gill>ert had no business to be so unreasonable. His grave, stern face rpther startled ber as she came back to the rustic seat of twisted boughs, when the dance had been finnislied and Birmingham had gone to bring her an iced lemonade. "Gilbert, why do you look so cross ?" "Because I have reason. I am sorry that you pay so little attention to my wish es, Miss Penroy," She drew herself up haughtily. "You are beginning to dictate rather too early, sir." "Have I not the right ?" "Nothing of the sort, Mr. Evering." "Be it so, Blanche," he said, in a voice that lietrayed how deep the arrow rankled in his bosom. "I give up the right now and forever." Blanche was startled. She would have said more, but Birmingham was advancing toward her, and, when next she had leisure to look around, Gilbert, was gone from iier side. "What have 1 done ?" she thought iu tismay. "111 see him this evening, and coax him into good humor, once more. He surely can't be vexed at me for an idle 1 word like that." . t "All, little Blanche, it is not the well- . considered sentence that does all the harm ' in this world : it is the idle word." 1 "Such a charming day as we have had, i Mrs. Traine," said Blanche, as she came < up the steps of the piazza, as smiling and radiant as if the worm of remorse was not 1 gnawing at her heart. '' "That, of course," said the blooming 4 matron, who was reading in an eusy chair 1 under the shadow of the vines. "But i what sent Mr. Evering away in such a hur- 6 ry ?" c "Sent him away ?" "Yes, —by the evening train. He came v homo packed up his things, and drove r away as if there was not a moment to lose. 1 lam very sorry, we shall miss him so much." v Blanche went slowly up stairs and sat dow nby her window, looking out at the purple glow of the evening landscape as if *' it were a featureless blank. So he had gone v away, and, by her own folly, she had lost the priceless treasure of Gilbert Evering's - love. "I cannot write to him, for I do not know his address," she said, with clasped 1 lands and tearful eyes. "Well, it is my (>wn fault, and I must abide by the conse quences as best I may. Blanche Penroy went from the gay sum mer-lounging place, a sadder and wiser wo man ; and the November mists drooping over tlie brick and mortar wilderness of her New York home, had never seemed half so dreary to her lief ore as they seemed now. "I shall be an old maid," thought Blanche us she walked up and down the fire-light darkness of her quiet drawing-room, with her dimpled hands clasped behind her waist. "I never cared for any one as I cared for Gilbert; and I dare say I shall "keep a cat, and grow fond of green tea, and scandal, and the sewing-circles. Ah, well-a-day! this kind of life cannot last forever." She rang the bell with a very impatient jerk. "Are there any letters, Sanderson ? " "One, ma'tun, it came by the evening post, only a few moments since." Blanche sat down by the fire, opened the letter, and commenced to read. "Black edged, and black waled ! So, poor Mrs. Marchmont is gone at last." It was from the executors of Miss Pen roy's distant cousin, formally and briefly announcing her death, which had taken place in one of the West India islands some mouths since, but the melancholy news of which, so the letter ran, had lieen only just received. It was not entirely unexpected, as Mrs. Marchmont had for some years lieen slowly falling out of the world, a vic tim of hereditary consumption. "Leaving one child, —a son," slowly re peated Blanche, leauing- her cheek on her hand, and lookingdowu into the fiery quiv er of the white hot coals, "Poor little fel low ! he muskfeel nearly as desolate and alone as I do ; only I have one advantage. "I have a sufficiency of this world's goods, and this orphaned child must be thrown penniless and alone on his own re sources, for, if I remember aright, Mrs. Marchmont forfeited all the wealth of her first marriage by her second alliance with that poverty stricken lawyer, whose death plunged her into such bitter mourning.— That was a genuine love match, yet how much grief an d trouble it brought with it, leaving one child, a son ! Why should I not adopt the stray waif and make it a bus iness of my life to cherish and comfort him 1 I have no object in existence; here is one that Providence seems to have pointed ont to me." Once more she rang the bell, writh a fresh color glowing in her cheeks, and a new light in her eyes. "Bring me my writing desk immediately, Sanderson, and get raady to take a letter to the postoffice." The old servant obeyed, wondering at his mistress's unwonted energy, and yet, well pleased to see some of her old anima tion returning. It was a very simple and unconscious letter that Blanche Penroy wrote to her I "far away" cousin's executors from the fullness of her heart. "I shall never marry now," she wrote, ' 'and it seems to become my plainly-indi cated duty to undertake the care of the or phan child of my cousin, Mrs. Marchmont. With your approval, therefore, I intend to adopt him, and endeavor, as far as in my power to supply the place of his mother.— You may at first deem me too undertake so grave and serious responsibility ; but I was nineteen last month, and am very, very much older in thought and feeling than in years. Of course, at my death, the child will inherit the property which was left me by my dear deceased parents." "I hope my cousin's executors are like the uiee, white-headed old lawyers one reads about in novels," said Blanche to herself as she folded the little perfumed sheets of pink paper, "and Dot cross old fogies, talking of expediency and appro priateness, for I do so much want some body to love ami care for, and somehow I have a sort of premonition that this little fellow will be nice and rosy and loveable.— I think I will teach him to call me aunty." "Just a week subsequently a prim legal note was received from Messrs. Alias A Corpus, the deceased lady's exenctors, sta ting that they "saw no valid objection to Miss Penrov's very laudable object, and that iu accordance thereto, the child of the late Mrs. Marchmont would arrive at Miss Penroy''s residence on the following Satur day." "Saturday—and t his is Friday," said she with a new brightness dancing in her ha zel eyes, "Oh, how glad I shall be ! San derson, tell Mrs. Brown to have the blue room fitted up immediately for Master Marchmont, and you had better go your self to the depot with the carriage, at 5" o'clock to-morrow afternoou, to meet him." "Yes ma'am," replied Sanderson, some what solidly. The apparition of a great, ruly boy tramping with muddy boots on the velvet carpets and haunting the house with balls and marbles, and lung-splitting ballots, did not possess the charm to San derson's eyes that it seemed to his mistress. And even the patient Mr. Brown remarked with a species of exasperation, that— "She didn't see what put that freak into Miss Blanche's head." • Saturday was a day of hail and tempest, and by s'clock the drawing-room were lighted, and the crimson silk curtains close ly drawn, to exclude the stormy darkness without. Six times within the last fifteen minutes had Miss Penroy looked at her watch, as she stood by the fire waiting to hear the approach of the carriage. She was dressed in a rich China blue silk dress, with pearl pin and ear-drops, and a little point lace at her throat, and the clear rosy tint on her cheeks. She was, unconscious ly, very beautiful. "Here's the little gentleman, Miss," said Sanderson, with a half suppressed sound between a lautrh and a snort. But instead of a child seven or eight years old, a toll, handsome vonng gentle man. something over six ieet, with a black moustache and merry hazel eyes brimming over with mirth. For an instant Blanche stared at him as if slio could liardly crodit the evidence of her owif senses. "Gilbert!" "Exactly. Yon wanted to adopt me, and here I am." "No, but, Gilbert——" "Yes, but Blanche!" "You are not Mrs. Marchmont's son!" "I am—by her first marriage. Although I am by no means the penniless infant you seemed to suppose, as all my father's wealth comes to me, lam quite willing to be adopted— particularly as you are not mar ried to Mr. Birmingham." Blanche struggled between tears and laughter, uncertain which could best ex press her feeling, but Gilbert Evering drew her tenderly toward him. "If you adopt me, dearest, it must be for life. Nay, do not hesitate, our happiness has already been too much at the mercy of trifles. You will not retract your offer ? " "Well, after all," said Blanche, rather demurely, "you will be a good little boy, and mind all your aunty tells you. All I wanted was some one to love and care for, and —" "And I shall do very well in that capaci ty eh ?,' "Yes." Sanderson who had been listening dili gently at the door, crept down stairs to in form Mrs. Brown that they were going to i bars a new master. Butler in Rebellion. Ben. Butler is a born rebel. Everybody knows how persistently he voted <• Jeff. Davis in the Charleston ConventioJj. He tried to get up another rebellion in Congress the other day. The Senate and House liad j met in joint convention, to count off the Presidential vote. When the State of Georgia was called, Butler objected to its vote being counted, atbough, under a con current resolution passed the day before, it was agreed that the vote of Georgia should be counted, if counting it did not alter the general result After a deal of wrangling and very nearly a regular row, the vote was finally counted and the Senate, worried almost to death with Butler's berating, retired. Butler then offered the following resolution : Rmolved, that the House protests that tlfe counting of the vote of Georgia by the or der of tlie Vice President pro (em. was a gross act of oppression, and an invasion of the rights and privileges of the House. This then led to another furious war of words among the members, in which Col fax (who temporarily handed the chair over to Dawes) soon found himself involved, and it was late in the night before the House, wrought into an angry mood by Butler's seditious conduct, adjourned. The next day the debate was resumed, with as much acrimony as ever. Bingham pitched into Butler with unusual ferocity, denouncing his resolution as "revolution ary." Butler concluded the bitter fight of the day by so modifying Iris resolution as to refer it to a select committee of five. On Friday the House succeeded in rid ding itself of the matter by laying the whole subject on the table. But, upon the same day in the Senate, the following resolution was offered by Garret Davis, of Kentucky, and was laid over under the rules : Resolved, <tc. , Tb it the noisy and disor derly conduct of Benjamim F. Butler, a representative from the State of Massachu setts, and other members of the House of Representatives, iu Representative Hall, ou tlie 10th day of February, during the time the President of the Senate, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representa tives was opening the certificates of the votes of the electors for President and Vice President of United States from the several States, and while said votes were being counted, whereby said business was disturb ed and obstructed, is disreputable to said Benjamin F. Butler, and the other repre sentatives acting with him, and a wrong and an insult to the people of the United States.— Ex. Revolutionary Proceedings. If anything was needed to convince the people of the Revolutionary tendencies of the Radical party, the counting of the elec toral vote on Wednesday of last week should prove the fact. The scene was not only disorderly and disgreceful, but the effort to exclude the electoral votes of Georgia and Louisiana shows to what length b partisan majority can go. Georgia has been reconstructed and is now represented in House of Representa tives. She is therefore as much entitled to have her electoral vote counted as South Carolina or Massachusetts. If we concede the right of Congress to reject the votes of States by this means they might altogether defeat the will of the people, and by man ipulating returns, declare elected a person who did not actually have a majority of the electoral votes. To add to the indecency of the matter it was resolved "that if the votes of the State of Georgia did not alter the result of the election they might be counted ; and if they did alter the result they were not to lie counted," as if the political complexion of the State added to or took from its rights. By the same reasoning New Jersey or New York might have been excluded. We now expect to see the Senate consis tent with itself. Having accepted tlie vote of Georgia, it is an acknowledgment that that she is a State and in the Union. If so, she is entitled to representation, and the refusal to admit Senator Hill is an net of gross injustice, and self-stulification on the part of the Senate.— Columbian. SAYINGS OF JOSH BILLINGS.
