"Sho has gone out on her accustomed
after-noon rido," answered Mark.
" At what time do you think she will
return?"
" Probably by five o'clock, not sooner."
Laman now took his leave, promising to
return again in the evening.
V What a fine fellow Laman. has gof to
be. I really think that Carrie had mado
a wiso choice, in picking Laman for her
futuro husband. How jnupb, rather would
I that sho should marry him than Jacob,"
said Mark after Laman hai taken leave of
him. " Rut then it's impossible," in tliis

in quieting his conscience, )y making hiui.

sho look upoji it. How gladly would sho
have acceptul poverty, aud making her

urics of life, if with them ehc must accept
her cousin to live with all her life I Her
cousin whom sho knew to bo a monster iu

iu tho thought!
Vi'o say how gladly would she have ac
cepted poverty and making her own living
to wealth, at the sacrifice of her happiness
iu all her future, had her father only pro
posed theso terms.
Carrie was a true hearted and noble
minded girl, aud she determined not to
wound her fathers feelings, by herself pro
posing them.
CAltUIK'a SICKNESS.
After Laman had taken his leave of
Mark, ho rode down the street iu order
that ho might the toouer reach his homo
aud oueo more bo clasped iu tho arms of
his mother.
Scarcely had he gained half tho dis
tance to his mothers, till he was met by
Azariali Flick.
" Well, and when; arc you going, Az. I"
said Laman.
"Oh, Laman! Xow for God's sake
you hurry homo," Azariah answered, al
most breathless with anxiety.
" Why, Az., what can be tho matter at
homo, that you seem so much excited V
" It is this, that troubles inc," answered
Azariah, ''Carrie is at our houso,tho faiek
est ptfi-uu I ever seed in my life afore."
"My God! C:in it be possible? Go
for the doctor, ipiick, quick, aud on your
way back, stop at Mark's, and tell bim to
come, be off, bo off, lose not one moment,"
said Laman, iu a (juiek, hurried manner,
showing by his tones and by tho anxiety
which was plainly to be seen, the depth of
, (lie love ho bore for her.
I Azariah's fleet horse dashed off with
him "as swiftly as thu bounding wind," lie
tied down tho street and soon disappeared.
I Laman now put spurs-to his horse, aud
scarcely ten minutes had ehquod until he
stood beaiilo tho bed whereon Carrie lay.
He found her in a state somewhat resem
bling death. Death may be beautiful, but
it is a honld beauty. Oh how Laman's
heart fluttered when he saw that dear faco
had assumed l'"-' ghastly huo of death.
" Is she dead, mother?" he asked, burst
ing into tears, for not a breath did sho
draw to testify that her spirit had not gone
to its maker.
" Oh no, Laman,"said his mother, "her
pulse sh)l beats faintly. I do not think
that she is in any immediate danger; calm
your fears, my boy."
I " What do you think is tho matter with
her?"
I " It is the result of over excitement. 1
think that iu two or three weeks sho may
be well again," said Mrs. Morris.
" Then I suppose I need not givu my
self much uneasiness,'' observed Laman.
" Xot at present, at least," rejoined his
mother.
, " Was sho siek when sho came here?"
' " Sho complained a little, but when Aza
riah li'dck came and said that you wtro at
their houso, sho was thrown into tills ter
rible paroxysm."
" Had sho been speaking of mc before
Az. came in?" iiiipiiivd Laman with earn
estness. I " Yes, yes, she had been speaking of
you," answered she, hesitatingly.
" All, Mother, you need not be so re
served," said Lamau, " Mark has told uie
all."
"Alas' alas! that fate has reserved for
you two j two who would have been so well
suited together ; so hard a lot," exclaimed
Mrs. Morris.
j " Let us speak of this at some future
time, at present let us tend with assiduous
pare to dear Oarr W said Laman, still en
tertainiug some fears as to the nature of
I her illness. " Is there anything that can
bo done for her?"
" Net till tho doctor comes," the ans
wered. " Are you sure that she is not danger
ously ill?" still inquired Laman.
" I do not think that thtro is any dang
er, unless sho should suddenly changq for
iho worse, which in her present state there
is no liklihood of," answered Mrs. Morris.
" Wlcn Az. camo in and annouueed
that I were at her fatlier's, houo did you
say it was that Mio was instantly thrown
!nto her prpsent state ?"
1' Yes."
" In what terms did she speak of mo ?"
" Sho seemed perfectly overcome with
grcif at being obliged to bo separated from
you In life. SJio ppoko of you as the qnly
pcsou sho could lovo ou earth, and seemed
to desiro that you should bo to onoanothcr
as a brother and lister) and said that though
fclic loved you, yet sho would not disobey
her father, for, said she, " not for worlds
would I briug sorrow upon him, now iu
his declining days.''
Further couvcrsatiou was prevented by
tho entrance of Doctor Hangs.
" Ah ! good morning, Mrs. Morris,"
said tho medical man, with excessive po
liteness. " Good morning, bir."
" Hem 1 your son, I presume ?'' said tho
physician.
" Yes bir."
After shaking hands witli Laman, tho
doctor walked to the bedside, examined
Carrie's pul?o, inquired what thu symptoms
were, made up a prescription and depart
ed, telling them that by careful nursing
she would be well iu a week or two.
Chapter V,
LAMAN'S INTEUV1KW WITH CAUltIE.-C.n-IUK
ItELKASED FKOM II Ell ENGAGEMENT
WITH JACOll.
Four weeks have passed by, and Carrie
has again gained her wanted strength.
t Agaiu out taking her aftcr-noou ride,
she is overtaken by Laman, and the two
ride together.
" Carrie," said Laman, " do not be in
such poor spii its. Let iu still entertain
hopes."
" Xo, no, Laman, to hope for our union
were vain. Wo are doomed, doomed, ir
revocably doomed," said she.
Do not think so. It might be other
wise, "perhaps it is, let us hope so. Rut
if it cannot be so, let us console ourselves
with the thought that we cau at last be to
one another as a brother and sister."
" It is with this thought that I domo.tly
console myself," she answered, witli one of
these dismal forced smiles so indicative! of
an almost broken heait.
"Your father would not bo willing to give
to Jacob his money, and leave you and I
to struggle up in tho world. We could
supply him with every comfort of life."
" Xo, no, he would not consent to such
an arrangement. IIi;i disposition is ava
ricious Knowing it to be such, I would
not wound his feelings by proposing it, if
by so doinj; I could train worlds. Ah ! '
Lamau, let us, iii.'tead of hoping, learn to
be reconciled to our lot. Yes, let us rec
oncile oui selves, for there aro barriers, in
surmountable barriers between us."
" Harriers, where are barriew that love
cannot surmount ? There aro none. Yes,
Carrie, wo still have room for hope," said
Laman, almost wildly.
"It is really cruel iu you to try to inspire
me with hope, when in a short time it mu'-t
be crushed, You, who ought to encourage
mo in thepath of right that I have chosen.''
Hanging his head and musing for a mo
ment, he looked up with a blush aud said :
" You are right, Carrie, I stand cor
reeled."
Xow turning their horses, tho twain rode
homo in silence, each one busied with their
own reflections.
After gaining her home and changing
her toilet, sho entered the sitting room, and
who should first meet her sight but Jacob-
Frantz,
" How do you do Carrio,"snld ho rising.
" I'm pretty woll, ( thank you," said
she, giving him her hand, (for sho had re
solved to treat him with becoming civility,)
wliinll ho tqok with a warmer and tighter
grasp than it would seem pleased the sen
sitive maiden, from the remark which sho
made.
" Why cousin, "said sho, "do uotsquceze
my hand off."
" Why Carrie, that not tho calkilation,"
said ho, with aloud "haw! haw!"
'How aro Unelo and Aunt?'' asked
Carrie.
" J'urty well, I thank you," answered
Jacob, attempting to bo polite a little be
yond his knowledge of the "polite arts,"
Then fallowed n short silenco, for Car
rie's position was an embarassing ono.
And Jacob was considerably puzzled for
the want of something to say.
f'My business is hard to perform,"
thought he, "for, to deprive so beautiful a
girl and que so gcutlo as she is, of her
liQino and fortune, is hard to do."
Hard hearted wretch though he was,
still "his conscience some misgivings felt."
" Jf only I oould get her angry at uie,
and myself at her, I could do it with a
good grace," ho continued
"Who was that gcntlcutaii you were
riding with?" eajd ho aloud,
" Monis, is his name,'' thu answered.
" Well now, Carrie, hqw do yqu think I
f-honld act in Mich a ease, to kco yqu with
my own eyes, riding with another young
man ? You, my own betrothed."
" Come, couio, .lacob, dq not begin to
show your tyrauy too soon," said Carrio,
with ijoiuo energy.
" Dahl" said ho, "1 consider you vir
tually my bride, though wo nro not yet
married. Wo arc engaged, which is nearly
as good, and n great deal bcttcr,for it can
not bo broken off yet," ho added mentally.
" Xot quite as good, Jacob. An en
gagement may bo honorably broken off,
while a marriage ceremony can never bo
undone. Xeithcrcan man and wife sepa
rate with honor to both parties."
" Talk of breaking your engagement
with me, do you?" asked Jacob, angrily.
" It is not as yet too lato to do so," bho
answered firmly.
" Xot too late, read that and sec !" ho
hissed, his whole tono at once bespeaking
tho diabolicality of bis disposition, and the
mcancss of the act ho was about to com
mit. Taking tho paper, she read in a clear
firm voice, tho following :
" I, Thomas Carleton, being iu sound
uiiud, now while upon my death bed, do
hereby acknowledge tho deed of wrong
dono by me, upon my ward, William
Frantz, in 178'J. I abstracted from his,
(my ward's) amount of moucy, the sum of
15,000 dollars. I leave this paper in the
hands of my lawyer, requesting that he
may give it to William Frantz, after I am
dead aud gone. (signed)
Thomas Caiileton."
" There, Cariie, seeing that I have that
instrument, which is as good as any note,
for the sum of fifteen thousand dollars,
which sum, after adding the interest, will
more than cover tho whole of your father's
fortune. So you see that I cau, at my
will, turn you om jour home, and pen
niless at that. Say now that you can at
your will, break off tho engagement be
tween us." said Jacob, iu so terrifie a
manner, that any lady but one possessed
of Carrie's firmness, would necessarily havo
been frightened into timidity.
" For myself, I defy you,"' said she en
ergetically. " Rut for my old father, 1
hope you will have some feeling."
'Defy my worst, do you?" said ho,
almost wild with anger.
At this moment Mark entered tho room
iu a great rage.
" Xo more of your threats to my daugh
ter, sir," said ho, with a firmness that al
most mado Jacob tremble with fear.
" Turn my daughter penuiless from her
homo ! there, sir, is thirty-four thousand
dollars in specie, tho exact amount of tho
debt I owe you, interest and all. There
take it, and leave the house, aud lot mo
never again see you inside of it, dishonest
wretcli that you are !"
" Jacob took the money, but his wrath
aud mollification was so great that he did
not move an inch fVom tho spot whereon he
stood, for a minute or two.
" Why don't you go? you impudent
babboon,"
Still not a move. Mark Availed for at
least ten seconds, aud not a move did he
make.
At, last, in the intensity of his excite
ment, ho exclaimed with great anger j
" Go! instantly !'' aud the too of (he
old gentleman's boot came iu contact, and
none too lightly at that, with the extremity
of Jacob's coat-tail.

Rut a darker night was abroad upon tho
earth. A moral darkness involved.the na

shed a faint glimmering over the mind of
men, like the cold aud insufficient shining

man's spiritual nature was uuknown, his

by his patriotic preseuce, wo shall, with
new zeal and increased firmness of purpose
move ou to tho discharge of our patriotic
duty. In the history of States and Gov
ernments there will be revolutions. I be
lieve wo aro or the eve of one now. A
great change of papular sentiment forpub
lio action U now g"iug ou within, among,
and around us. it will be wiso now to
enquire into the cause to cousider tho
present condition oj1 public affairs, and to
.ontorniJatc propable futurity. It is but a
littlo more than seventy years since our
national existence commenced under tho
present Constitution of tho United State.?.
OurniL' that lienod our nrorcss Uaf been
a marvel even to ourselves. In na
tional and intellectual advancement we
have surpassed every former age It
required four hundred and eighty-six
years for the groat Roman Umpire, by
force of arms, to subjugate Italy alone.
In the short period of seventy, we have by
tho arts of peace, subdued a continent.
Wo have , established libcity. Wo have
maintained peace. Wu have bccurod for
the American name respect, and wo havo
surrounded it with glory. We are pre
pared tliis day, if need be, to measure our
physical arm with tho proudest empire on
earth. Yea, more, on our own soil aud in
our di'fenco, wo can resist the world in
arms. (Tromciidoiu cheering prolonged.)
let in lull view ot all the past, with tin
added glories of tho present, aud tlie still
richer promise ot the luturc, there are men
at the South and in tho Xorth, who aro
willing to cast all this away : who ask,
what all this is worth .' aud who now open
ly aud hotly advocate disruption and dis
union. What ha.t produced this feeling so
pregnant with personal aud national disas
ter I Why is it that the work of separa
tion is now rapidly becoming a fart?
Why is it that tho firm knots of tho Un
ion arc becoming unloo-ed ? Why is it
that domestic insurrection lias been delib
erately pUnncd, and its murderous exe
cution attempted ?
It is because the two leading political
parties of tlie country have made the basis
of political actiou tho systematic agitation
of a single social question. Cries of that's
true!) Tho popular mind has become in
flamod, and largo communities do now
threaten revolution. They have been
made to fuel that the equality of States is
threatened, ami that their constitutional
rights havo bec put in jeopardy. It is
time this thine should end ! It is time
that tho sober American people should be.
como sober that they should uo longer

revival of the Spirit of Union that the

There is fellow-citizens, in thii couutry
a large conservative element which has
hitherto escaped public attention, because
it has been listless and indifferent, so far
as their right of suffrage is coucerucd.
There are iu Pennsylvania fifty thousand
voters who havo never yet attended the
polls, aud with the other States their nmn
her can bo hardly less than a million.
Absorbed in 'the occupations of business,
secure in tho protection of tho State, they
worship their household gods aloue, and
never outer tho great temple of our na
tionality. They neglect the solemn service
there. It may bo that they aro disgusted
witli tho trickery, the falsehoods and cor
ruptions of polities, and arc willing to leave
public concerns, therefore, to those whom
