down now and then as if to say .good morn- j as they sought about the room fcr eay
ing to the fairest, and always removiog the
cigar from his lips when he did so.
."He coold'nt do no more if he was
speaking to a woman,", said the spinster,1
applying her eye to a hole left purposely
in the white curtain. ''The man is mad
about flowers, I do believe, and she is a
toach beyond him, if such a thing can be.
Ah, there she comes and dressed in blue

watch bnt Mis., Jeliaby over opposite,
tainted away with honor. She rang her
bell violently, and a sqoare-faced, sour
looking woman who had lived with her for
years, raade her appearance.
"Susan!" " .
w Wellj" said the amiable Io2S:ic
briefly.
Before Miss Jetlahy could speak, the
unconscious pair in the opposite garden
transgresseda gainst propriety again.
"Walking np a nd down in broad day
light, with his arm aronnd her waist just
look at her Susan ! Do you mean to stand
there and tell me that that men i only her
brother?''
"Dear me, ma'am how can I tell. I
only know (hat lhey loooked alike, and
they have the satne name, Helen and
Philip Graham, I wa told."
Humph! It's my opinion that some
one oiicht to speak to Mr. FnMerton 1"
The minister ? What for ?"
"Are you such a lool, Susan, a not to
ee what it all means. They are no more
brother and sister than you and I are."
"Well, what are they then !''
"That remains to be told the wretches !
But Mr. Fullenon will set them' to rights, I
shall go and see him after breakfast. I
don't know what the poor man would do
without me."
"Have some peace, I suppose," muflered
Susan,' tinder her breath, she followed
Missjt!laby down to the parlor.
Breakfast being over, Miss Jeliaby sal
lied forth to the parsonage.
The clergymen was a quite peac lovirg
man, somewhat timid withnl, and the spin
ster always overpowered him with her ar
puments when she attempted to do so
She stayed nearly half an hour with him ;
at thp expiration of that time, people who
were oh the lookout saw her conveying he
unhappy j aron in the direction, and at
lat, through the very gate of Randall Cot
tage. A tidy looking old servant 'nMtted them,
; ushered them into a p!eaant nur-erj room, (
, ani said (-he would gn and ted her mistress j
i of their arrival Mr. Fnllt-r'oii rat on the j
! edge of his chair, very uneasy in irind, and j
wishing with all his heart that he was j
home anain. Miss Jeliaby strode up and
down the room like a dragon, eyeing eve
rything about her and making observations
in an under tone, w hich, however, he could
not help hearing
'Such extravagarce ! Loflk a? that car
pet no1 all roses and Miles, and strag
gling green vrr.es. Why can't they be
i contented with a drngg't as I am ?"

"And n guitar! Spaniard, I don't do'tb' ? j
or I ahans j and Ihe rest follows as a mat
ter of conr-e. M. Fol:erton, I believe
thse people are heathens !"
"Hard'y, I think, or they never would
have come to church last Sunday."
"On you don't know that ; perhaps had i
some private end to gain by it," said Miss
Jeliaby.
The spinster's rnrop'onable suspicions
tickled Mr. Fuiierton beyond measure.
She saw him laughing, and grew indignant.
"Let these lauch that win. I say, Mr.
Fuiierton. I don't doubt you will feel
more like crying belore this business is
settled."
"Not I' said the minister with a rueful
look.
"A crucifix, as I am a sinner," she mur
mured a moment aiterward "There Mr.
Fuiierton, what did I te',1 you ! hanaing on
the wall here, in broad daylight. Shall I
pull it dow n ?
"Are yon beside yonrself, Mias Jeliaby?"
said Mr Fuiierton, springing up and ar-
resting her hand jns in time,
1 he sound of voices and laughter in tH
garden prevented her giving him what she
called, "a peace of her mind " There was
a race up the broad path, that sobered into
a walk when the young coupfe reared the
windows, following iho old servant, who
bad been in the grounds to call them.
They entered the rooom together, flush
ed wiih their frolic, bat looking happy and
pieaseo to meet me clergyman
chairs : "lt7s all a mistake, my goo,t crea-
mre there's nothing wrong here. I'll
0
have nothing to do with the matter. Say
nothing, and let this pass as a morning
call."
"Say nothing, indeed ! Mr. Fnllerlon, I
am astonished at you !" was her reply, too
audibly mado, however, for Mr. Graham
heard it though he waa too courteous to
look surprised. '
'Pray take this easy chair, Mr. Fullff
ton," said Helen, who wondered inwardly
at the strange behavior of her guests.
"No, my child,'' said the clergyman
kindly.- "Sometime 1 hope to come again.
I can only express my tornjw at having
been persuaded against my better judgment
to enter these doors on snch an absurd er
rand and leave you.
"My dear sir, forgive me if I do not qcite
understand !" exclaimed the captain, while
Helen made op. her mind that both her vis
itors were mad.
"I will tell yon at an other time," said
Mr. Follerton, nervocsly. "I will only bay
in explanation of this intrusion, that it has
been caused by a most ridiculou mistake.
Miss Jeliaby ,: will yoa allow me to accom
pany yoo home !" .
Mies Jeliaby folded her arras, looked at
them all viciously, and thundered oat
"Nol"
she nad"?" whispered Helen to the
cleff yman; "What doea it all mean V
I
Mt means this, madam, this and nothing I
more, that Mr, Fnllerlon is to be ensnared J
by a pretty face, and frightened outofdoing
his duty, I am not !'
IIVq itiei-a av. e ti rT an n n fnrf 11 n 9 fo
piece of business ! Miss Jeliaby, I cannot J
allow you to commit such an act of foily,
or to insult thee young creatures. 1 com
mand you as your pastor, not to speak."
"I take no orders from a man who shrinks
from his duty,' said the spinster, lohily.
'My dear sir. (turning to the captain,) it
seems 1 cannot spare you this infliction, so
I may as we'll tell you what this good lady
means. She lives opposite you as you al
ready know'
c a , ,1 t o t -,,..
i
when you thought yourselves quite alone
remember that ! ' chimed iu the sharp voice
ol the spinster.
Do be quiet, my dear Miss Jeliaby. As
she says, ehe has often seen you '
'Kissing exploded from the ihin lips.'
'Miss Jeliaby, either you or I must be
silent. From these things she has drawn
her conclusions, and I am ashamed to say
that lor a brief space she peruadjrt me in
to believing them. I need not add that
from the instant you entered the room, my
suspicion vanished, and 1 wotild readily
stake my life, this moment, upon your per
fect integrity.'
But my dear sir,' said Captain Graham
smiling, 'of what doe that lady snspect us1'
'Tell them, Miss Jeliaby; I wi;i not
Tretty behavior, 1 am sure, to leave the
tcoisi part to me, Mr. Fuiierton. However,
no one shail say I shrunk back from uy
duty !'
'We are waiting to know what fnirus
crime we hare committed,' said Captiain
Graham, drawir;2 the bewildered Helen
cloe to his side. Miss Jeliaby gasped at
the caress : then it seemed to give her
lreh energy.
'Before my very eyes, sir
v
What do you mean ?'
'I suppose yon will kiss her next.'
'Well now you mention it 1 think 1
wilt. And he did ! iMlss Jeliaby nearly
fainted away with horror.
Mr. Fuiierton, how can yon stand there
so quietly, and watch this shameless con
duct? As for j ou, sir,' sie added, tnrni'ig
io the pood humored captain, 'you need
not think every one will tolerate your au
dacious' .
'Take breath, my dear miss Jcllab ."
It is infamous,", shouted the enrsged
spinster. 'Uruther and sister indeed you
are no more her brother than you are mine,
Capt Graham."
'I know.it I never s?H I was !''
Mr. Fuiierton looked rather pczzled
Mi Jeilaby was triumphant.
Well, you are brazen abolit it it, I must
say. Thi town wi:l soon be loo hot to hold
you depend upon it."
"I never knew it was a crime not to be a
woman's brother," said the captain quietly.
'However, there is a relation between u?,
if it please you any bettor ?"
"What is ill"
"I am her cousin the ward of her father,
and I have always lived with har family in
England."
Oh ! '
Then was a worU of meaning in that
simple ejaculation.
'Also, I have the honor to be "
'Her husband ! '
Mr. Fullertor. uttered a most unclerical
hurrah, and shook h.-.nds with the young
couple over and over again. .
Her buband !" faltered the old maid.
'I I never thought ci that !"
'Allow me to hope, madara. that you will
have your wits about you before you try to
create another scandal," said the captain
suavely. 'I have the honor to wi.h you a
very good mourning."
He held iho door open as he spoke she
could but take the hint, and rushed oDt of
the bouse, and into her own, in a state, ver
ging opon distraction. Staying to be laugh
ed at and sympathized with, was what she
could not endure the cottage was shut .up
next day, and she and Susan were far
away.
Miss Jeliaby had found her match, and
the village has known peace since her de
parture lor the firt lime.
"Hell's Laid an Egg' ' It is reported
that when the first Greek fire shell exploded
in Charleston, a contraband who witriessed
it, clapped his hands and shouted : 'See
dar ! Hell's laid an eag !'" Exchange.
It was a bogus egg, though, The only
real, genuine egg that Hell ever laid, was
the at oliiioti party, and that hatched a civil
war such as never before disgraced the civ
ilized world." We hope if Hell has laid,
any more egs, theDevil will have to set
on them a thousand years before they will
hatch. Courier.
Gentle but Impbepsivs A young man,
rather verdant, and very sentimental, while
making himself interesting to a young lady,
the other evening by quoting from the po
ets, to the other choice extracts he added :
There's no place tike home.'
'Do yon really think sol' asked the
yonng lady. , -
'Oh yes,' was Ihe reply.
Then,' said pretty calico, 'why didn't
you stay there.' .
Got. Stone, of Iowa, in his late message,
says: "There is no longer any middle
ground where loyol men can stand!" But
ihnm is a middle snaee between iheerorjnd
and a cross beam, where thousands of yoa 1
ought to stand.
Miss Jeliaby heard her.
Cartarous Warfare.
Let the hirsute beware ! Let every man
licensed to wear shoul Jer-s!raps, and burn

himself in the war against his Southern
brothers, lock well to the flowing honors of

redoubtable John Morgan, General in
the Confederate service, having escaped
from the penitentiary in Ohio, where he 1
was treated as if he were a felon, has made j
hit way lo Richmond. Though his short, i
stubby hair still bears witness to the out
rage inilicted upon him, he ha as we learn
by a dispatch from a perfectly trustworthy

but not unnaturally to fulfill upon his en

"with what measure ye meie, it shall be
measured to yon again." For this purpose
he ha? appointed io every regiment in his
command a professional barber, whose duty
it is to accompany the brigaded to the field,
to operaie upon cuch oflicers of the Federal
army as ihe fate ol battle may throw into

a'tend upon the fallen heroes. Morgan, j crats remember, therefore, that "an eye for

or the palm of the barber's hand. Nor is
this all. Beard, moustache ar.d whiskers
are to share the same fa'e. This, no doubt
is very harba'ou w.irfar9 : but he who con
demns it should remember that those who
set a bad ex ample ate worse than those
who follow it ; and that the treatmert of
General Morgan in Onio was unfortunately
bad enough to palliate if it do not justify
the retaliation, which it is his. grirn hu
mor to indict.
This action on General Morgan's part will
not discourage volunteering in the North ;
for the privates of the army are not lo be
shaven ; rw if it ha- e the "ffect of moderat
ing the too fiery ardor of the muliita-Unons
Briiv'ier Gs.nera'.s and Colonels who are
prouder of the shoulder strnp- than of the
martial d tues of the calling lor which r.inp
tenths oflhem are unrlitted, it will do no'
damaze,but perhaps the reverse, to our
armies in the field.
And as Shakespeare declares that there
is a sou! of goodness in things evil ; so the
noble army of contractors and all the Lord
of Shoddy, may rejoice even at the hard
heartedness ol Morgan and his corps of
tonsors. Who knows but that the war De-
par'ment may not be thereby prompted to
invite contracts Irom this city, for the sup
ply of wijs and false mustaches for the
army ! Why not ? What a glorious chat-ce
for the Black Abolitionists and the shoddy
aristocracy ! And what a splendid oppor
tunity for defrauding the Government!

A Strong Ms. A "loyal" newspaper,
discussing Presidential prospects, says,
Mr. Lincoln is a strong man." Thereupon
the Chicago 2;me says, his most intimate
friends will make an affidavit to that effect,
and will .wear further thai he is the strong,
est in warm weaiher. There is nothing
that would so much detract from hi
strength as a plentiful useof soapsjds, frang
ipanni, civit and cologne. Sensitive and
refined journalists, who never call their op
ponents anything worse lhan traitors or

We find lbs following paragraph in a
recent letter from the reguUr Washington
correspondent of the Newark (N.J ) A Jver
t,tr, a Republican paper:
' Speaking ol New Jersey remind ns
that some time since one of the D?mocra,;c
members of your delegation in Congress
called upon rhe President upon some busi
ness, and in conversation upon general
matters, remarked to Mr Lincoln, that he
was with the Administration upon two

Thra is evidently a reat effort mir
the assembling of that body.
Certain prominent gentlemen, members
of the Union Lincoln Association of New
York, of which Simeon Draper is Prefcideat
and S. J Giassey, Secretary, have issued a
ma-if-sto to th fai'hful, se'ting forth the
particular claims and qualifications of the
man of their choice, and calling for popular
action in his behalf. Ibey fa'sely declare
that Abraham Lincoln js "an abl defender
of the great idea upon which our govern
ment was founded" that "he has beea
tried snd not found wanting" that aliho'
in the midt of a war of almost unparallel
ed magnitude, "we move on as in times of
tbe nost vMime peace," and then proposes ,
that, on the 22d of February, 1864, "alt
citirens of the United Sta es, without re
sard to party, who are ia favor of the re
election of Abraham Lincoln, shall meet at
appropriate places wiihin their towns,
counties or Slates, .'or the purpose of giv
ing public expression of their sentiments -opon
this most important question."
"Sublime peace!" exclaims the New
York U'oiU, "oublime impHdn.ce rather."
And so it is for it is nothing !ea than an
attempt on ihe part of a band ot New York
speculators, who derive profit from the ad
ministration of Lincoln, renominate their
man be overawing the regular nominating
medium of the party. And who is this
Abraham Lincoln, ihi tavorite of theirs,
whom they wish to force upon the nation
by mere clamor, for a second term? Elect
ed Prei.lent in.lS60 under false pretenses,
he has since' shown hit insincerity by vio
lating etery deciara ion a il every pledge
rie maoe previous to and for eihtee
months af.er his election. He has proved
himsetf.tobe vain, shsllow-minded, utterly
di-qualifi-J n every respect, mora! and
mental, f jr the position he holds, but withal
ambitious, Phillips called him a "mud
turtle, :' and Peecher pronounced him an
' imbeci'e." Thee 'erms may be too se
vere but every intelligent rr.an who i not
a party biot cr pecuniarily interested in
his adininiitratior, will agree that a mors
incompetent ad unworthy man for the po
sition would be hard to find. It is the in
terest of the country that i-j this time of
great peril a sta esman, of whatever parly,
and not an igorant and "smutiy joker"
shnu'd till the Presidential chair. The very
' life of the nation," (to ue Forney's fa
vori;e expression.) depends upon this.
Four years more of Lincoln rule and the "
grand fabric rrared by our fathers, the
Great Republic built upon the Constitution
which they framed i h so much wisdom
and care will eit no longer, and the "bar
mony' end "sublime peace," of which th
New York demagogues and speculators
pr!e, will be ihe harmony" and 4'peace"
of ospo;isni the "order" that reigns at
Waraw ; or if not thee-e, worse diintre
gation and anarchy.
Bnt there is hope that the mercenary
crew who are "moving heaven and earth"
for the re nomination cf Lincoln may yet
be foiled a; all events, the signs of tbe

sition. There is a growing appreciation in
the public mind of the dishonesty and in
competency of the man, and an awakening

would be exposed by his continuance in

We hive faith in the ability of the people
to elect a Democratic President, which
alone, in our j idgment. cai save the Re
public, restore ihe Union and es'ablish
peace ; but, failing ia that, we deire to see
cur opponents elect a full grown man not
merely the semblance for.e, an evergrowo

tivaied" and "propped'' and trained by
such men as GarrUcn and Phillips and
Greeley.
