pretty as it had been, but it was not spoiled.
And I never wanted to complain because
Nellie's was brighter.
"Iu spite of all her cheerfulness, mamma
grew thinner and paler as the summer wore
on. One beautiful Sabbath afternoon, ear
ly in September, mamma and I were out in
the garden behind thejiouse; picking 'shell
Leans' for our late dinner. Someway I do
not think there was much to make a meal
of in the house, but mamma only said,
'We'll have some nice succotash for dinner,
children.' I Was trying to separate an un
ripe Lean pod from its stalk without pulling
up the root, when a kind of mist came over
my eyes, and I do not remember any more
till I found myself laughing and sobbing and
clambering right up, up to my papa's shoul
der, in the dinning room, and he was kiss
ing and hugging ail the children at once,
and telling mamma at the same time, in his
strong cheerful voice, about the accident to
the boat which had prevented his getting
home the night befere, and about the farm
in Wisconsin, without a tree, or a fence, or
a house on it when he went, but which was
now nicely ready for our new home, when
we should go to it next spring. Crops had
been eood, he said, and he had been kept
longer than he expected, in order to secure
them.
"Mamrta grew stronger after that, and
there was a servant in the kitchen, and I
went to school. Dut after we had moved to
the new country, and the farm was paid for,
and cjuifoit and plenty smiled all around,
then mamma faded away fi-oni our sirh'.
"One day after sho was gone, I found the
iittle shawl in an old chest of drawers.
" A'hen I came to Jive in a home of my
own, I brought it with me. It was a fra
L'ratiee for me now besides the lavender.
To-day I laid it ont for IJlia's shoulders,
when it ia a cold morning in the breakfast
room.''
Harry laid the little folded shawl across
the back of a chair and went quietly away.
In another moment, Lilla had it grotcstjucs
!y wrapped about her shoulders, and said,
''Tell me 'nother story, mamma."
The Russian Wife Market.
Almost as soon asa.gir! is born, in the
1-etter ranks of society, her parents begin to
prepare the dowry ssha must have when
.-he goes to her husband. I-'or this is indis
pensable in the eyes of any Russian young
gentleman who proposes to be married.
She ma t famish everything for an outfit in
life even to a doz?u new shirts for her coal
ing husband.
i have heard of a lady of rank and wealth
when had prepared a Costly dotvciy of silks,
linen, jewels, plate, etc., for her beloved
daughter, who died as she cauie to be twen
ty years eld. The mother resolved to en
dow six girls with these iLhes. aiid actually
advertised for thern. A ho t of applicants
came, and the selected six. .None uf them
had lovors. lint row that they had a re
spectable dt.wry secured, each gi;l was
speedily enuaged. airi, with the husband,
took the dowry, and paid the rich lady by
promising to pray rer the tepose of her
daughter's soul.
In no wantry is this arrangement of
terms carried on with mure caution and com
pleteness than in ltussia. The young man
goes to the house of his pJoro.-ed bride and
counts over the dresses, and examines the
furniture, and sees to the whole with his
own eyes, brfore ho commits himself to the
irrevocable bargain. In high life eueh
things arc carried un with more apparent
delicacy, but the facts are ascertained with
accuracy, the business being i:i the hands
of a broker or not-try. The trousseau is
expo-ed in public before the wedding day.
At Whitsunday thre is a curious custom,
which is gradually giving way with the ad
vance of civilization. The young people of
a (icihbfirhond come together, and the
girls stand in a row, like so many statues
draped indeed, and not on'y draped, but
dres-scJ in their best, and painted, too i for
the young ladies, and the older ones also,
of this country use cosmetics freely, and a
box of ladies paints is a very common pres
ent for a young man to make the girl he
likes. Behind the row of girls are their
mothers ; the young men having made
known their choice, the terms are made be
tween the parcuts of theiariies.
The ladies of Russia are very anxious to
marry, because they have do liberty before
marriage. They are kept constantly under
the maternal eye until they are given up to
the Ln.-bnnd, and then they take their own
course, which is a round of gayety and dis-
sipatiou, only regulated by their meaus of
indulgence. The Wreck Church, like the
Roman, permit no divorces ; buttheEmpe
rorlike the Tope, can grant special dispen
fcauons. ihe lireeK pnests must marry
once, and if his wife dies he cannot uiarry
astain. No one in Russia can be married
more than three times. - . . I ' t
The man who don't advertise ha9 got his
store hung all around with shingles and
pieces of barrel heads, inscribed iu lamp
black with "Irish Pertaters," Korn Meel,'
"Flower," "All Kinds of kountry prodoos,"
"'Kaliker and Kandles, For Sail hear."
He says, "Thar ain't no sens in noospaper
advertising, so long ad a man is smart enuff
to tend to his own businessj and kin stand
at the door and holler the fellers in."

"Nobody contents himself with rough dia

"Died Poor."
"It was a sad funeral to me," said the
speaker, "the saddest I have attended for
many years."
"That of Edmonson V
"Yes,"
"How did he die!"
"Poor poor as poTcrty; His life was
one long struggle with the world, and at
every disadvantage. Fortune mocked him
all the while with golden promises that vs ere
destined never to know fulfillment."
"Yet he was - patient and enduring," re
marked one of the company.
"Patient as a christian enduring as a
martvr," was answered. Poor man, he was
worthy of a better fate. He ought to have
succeeded, for he deserved success."
"Did he not succeed?" questioned the
one who had spoken of his patience and en
durance. "No, sir; he died poor, just a I have
slated. Nothing that he ever put his hand
to succeeded. A strantre fatality seemed to
attend every enterpii.-o."
"I was with him in his last-moments,"
said another, "and.he thought he died rich."
"No, lie has left nothing behind," was
replied. "The heirs will have no concern
as to the administration of his estate."
"He left a good name," said one, "and
that is something."
"And a legacy of noble deeds," said
another.
"And many precious examples," said a
third.
"Lessons of patience in suffering ; of
hope in adversity : of heavenly confidence
when the sunbeams fell upon his bewilder
ing path," was the testimony of another.
"And high truths, manly couiage, heroic
fjititude."
"Then he died rich," was the emphatic
declaration. "Richer than the millionaire
who went to his long home on the same
day, a miserable pauper in all but gold. A
sad funcia!, did you say? No, my friend,
it was a triumphant procession ! Net- the
burial of a human clod, but the ceremonies
attendant on the translation of an angel.
id not succeed ! Why his whole life was a
series of successes. In every conflict he
came off the victor, and now the victor's
crown is upon his brow. Any grasping,
soulless, selfish man, with a moderate share
of brains, may gather in money, and learn
the art of keeping it, but dot one in a hun
dred can conquer bravely in the battle of
life, as Jvl iioiimju conquered and steppe i
forth from the ranks of men a hero. Nb.uo;
he did not die poor, hut rich, rich in neigh
borly iove, and rich in celcMial affections.
And his heirs have an interest in the ad
ministration of Lt.aOuin. A large property
has L-eeu left his heirs, and let tl.etn sc to
it that they do not lose precious things
through false estimates and ignorant depre
ciations."
"You have a new way of climating the
wealth of man," said the one who had first
expressed sympathy with the deceased.
"Is it not the right way," was answered.
"There are higher things to gtiti in this
world than the wealth that perishes. Riches
of princely value ever toward the fuo mer
chant, who trades for wisdom, buying it
with the silver of truth and the gold of
love. He dies rich who cr.n take his treas
ure with him to the new lands where he is
to abide J'orever.atid he who his to lorive all
behind on wliich he placed his affection,
dies poor indeed. Our friend Edmonson
died richer than a Girard or an Astor; his
monument is built of ;ood deeds and noble
examples. It will abide forever."
Interesting Incident.
"While livinsr nt Dunham," ssys Dr.
Warwic, 'I took a walk one evening in
Lord S'.amford's park. On reaching a pond
in which fi.-h were kept ready for use, I ob
served a fine pike of some six pounds
weight. At my approach he darted away
like an arrow. In Lis hurry, he knocked
his head against au iron hook fastened in a
post in the water, fracturing his skull and
injuring the optic nerve on oue side of his
head. He appeared to suffer terrible pain ;
he plunged into the mu 1, floundered hither
and thither, and at last, leaping out of the
water, feil on the bank. Ou examination, a
portion of the brain was seen protruding
from the fractured skull. - -
. "Tht I carclully restored to its place,
making use of a small silver toothpick to
raise the splinters of broken bone. The
fish remained quiet during the operation ;
when it was over he plunged into the pond.
At first, his sufferings appeared to be re
lieved ; but in the course of a fewminutes he
began rushing right and left until he again
leaped out of the water.
"I called the keeper and with Lis assist
ance applied a bandage to thtt fracure.
That done, we restored him to the pond and
left him to his fate. Next morning, as soon
as I . reached the waters edge, the pike
swam to meet me quite close to the bank,
aud laid his head upon my feet. I thought
this an extraordinary proceeding. Without
farther delay, I examined the woani and
found it healing nicely. I then strolled
for some time by the side of the pond. The
fish swam after me, following my steps and
turning as I turned.
"The following day I brought a few
youni friends with me to see tha fish. He
swam towards me as before. Little by lit
tie he became so tame as to come at my
whistle and eat out of my hand. With oth
er persons, he on the contrary, continued
as shy and wild as ever."
"If there's been a grand dinner, always
get the party to settle before leaving. The
dinner bill, my son, is never so sp verely
scrutinized over night as when a geUtleman
looks over it next morning.
TLe Cracow Hun Cs-e.
Two weeks ago wo'published an article
taken from the London 2'imes, giving a
statement of "The Cracow Nun Case;" and
now, at the request of Father Coady, we
publish "the other side of the story," and
purporting to bo the statement of the
l'urls Unhers. The writer says :
"The"ntYe-of the 5th instant, gives some
information received by it from a correspon
dent who, when an inhabitant of Cracow,
had been acquainted with the unfortuoate
nun whose case Las been turned to such bad
account by the enemies of Christianity. It
appears that she belongs to an honorable
family, anil had received an excellent edu
cation. Under the impression that Bhe was
called to a religious life, she first intended to
enter the Convent of t he Visitation. After
several trials, however, she was thought to
be mistaken as to her vocation. Her piety
was fervent, and. in many respects, she
showed great merit ; but she was so exces
sively scrupulous that the Sisters feared she
would lose her senses. At a later date the
offered herself to the Carmelites, and, by
this time her attacks of scruples had become
less frcqrent, or more under control, for
she was received into their convent. Her
mental infirmities, however, eventually re
turned, and grew worse and worse, until
scrupulosity ended in absolute madness.
There was no other cause whatever for her
becoming deranged, and there is not a syl
lable of truth i.1 the filthy stories iuvented
ou this occasion by liberal journalists, who
are incapable even of respecting the chaste
reputation of a poor mad. nun. When a
daughter unhappily loses her senses, her
family is filled with a natural repugnance to
send her awa3' from home to a mad house.
The good Carmelite Sisters of Cracow obey
ed the human feeling, and, under the jnst
and kind idea that their insane sister would
fare better in their hands than under the
care of a mad doctor, they kept her in their
convent. It was a heavy cross to them, but
the Carmelites only live to carry the Cross.
Had they, on the other hand. sent her away
from them, they would inevitably have been
accused of want of sL-terly charity. It is
asserted that she was ill treated, and the
nuns are accused of endless atrocities to
wards her. Rut is t hero any foundation for
these most unlikely stories? What man of
tense will believe them, on the strength of
newsptper paragraphs, picked up no one
knowa whore ? Theae writers Grst statedliat
the poor mad woman had lived 21 years in a
hole so small and so filthy, that a strong man
would not have existed 21 days in it. They
have since been com. idled to acknowledge
that the "City hole" is in fact a clean and
well-aired rcom, and, in a word, so unobjee
tional.Ie a chamber, that the authorities al
lowed her to remain in it during the 36
hours wl.ieh elapsed between their first vis
it and her removal. The same journalists
have also admitted that a close examination
of the poor nun's body has disclosed no
traces of the torture she was at first said to
have suffered for 2! years. Rut these odi
ous calumnies were invented for the pur
pose of exciting the people to a riot, and,
by the help of the polish Jews, they were
successliil. The Austrian Government is
indebted to these worthies for having sup
plied the long-expected pretext for attack
ing the religious bodies. It has been im
mediately laid held of ; and on the 2'Jtli of
Ju'y, Dr. Giskra, the Minister of the Inte
rior, wrote to the chief of the Administra
tion at Lembnrg, to inquire whether any
motive could-be suggested for delaying the
withdrawal of the yearly allowance of 1,800
which had previously been granted to the
convent, and also whether the Bishop of
Cracow (Mgr. Galecki or the alministrator
thought it desirable that the existence of
the convent itself should be prolonged. The
reason given ia this letter is simply the ex
citement occasioned by the Carmelite affair,
together with the "revolting facts" of the
case; and this without any inquiry into the
truth of the story, and without any oppor
tunity of defence being allowed to the Sis
ters. It appears to the Inucers, in conci-J-
siou, that there is not the shadow of a proof
against the Carmelite Sisters of Craeow
and that they have been made the victims
of an abominable combination of intrigue
ing Jews, Protestants, and free-thinkers,
with the complicity, it not under the direct
inspiration, of the Austrian Ministry."
Good Br E. It is a hard word to speak
Some may laugh that it should be, but let
them. Icy hearts are never kind. It is a
word that has choked many an utterance,
and started many a tear. I he band is
clasped, the word spoken, we part and are
out upon the ocean of time we go to meet
again, where, God only knows. It may be
soon, it may be never. " Take care that your
"good-bje" be not acold onc itmaybethe
last -that vou can give. Ere you can uitet
your lriend again death's cold hand may
have closed his eyes and chained his- lips
forever. Ah! he may have died in thinking
you loved him not. Again it maybe along
separation. Friends crowd onward and
give you their Laud. How do you detect iu
each "good-bye" the love that lingers there;
and how you bear away with vou the mem
ory of these parting words many, many
days. We must often separate. Tear not
yourself away with a careless boldness that
defies all love, but make your last words lin
ger give the heart its full utterance and
if tears full, what of it f Tears are not
unmanly.
Dr.. Franklin, talking of a friend of his
who had been a Manchester dealer, said
"that he never sold a piece of tape narrower
thau his own mind."
Asa Packer.
The Gcrmantoica Telegraph an inde
pendent paper gives this" history, political
and otherwise, of the Democratic nominee
for Governor :
For the high and responsible office of
Governor of the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania, the Democratic party has nomina
ted a man who is not a native of the State,
nor distinguished for eminent ability of any
kind in connection with public affairs. Asa
Packer has been a member of the Legisla
ture aud also of Congress, but in both cases
he was a silent member, without ability or
influence, and the record of his public ser
vices is limited to votes in the affirmative
or negative. If he ever drafted a bill of
anj importance we have never read of it.
If he ever offered a substitute for any bill
we cannot find the record of it. If he ev
er offered amendments of any cons iqujiue to
any pending measures, his party friends
have not yet shown the act, and we doubt
if they can do so. If he ever epre tsed his
views on any questions of moment 5n lan
guage worthy of quotation, or to which his
constituents could refer with pleasure or
pride, it has yet to be shown. If he ever
exercised any potential iuflucnce with his
1
arty in the Legislature or Congress the
public is in blissful ignorance of it.
How, then, does it happen that such a
man has obtained a nomination for Govern
or of a State containing four millions of in-
teligeut and prosperous people, and untold
resources? How docs it happen that all
the bold, able, thoughtful leaders of the
Democratic party, whose restless exertions,
and commanding ability have maintained
their parly strength under all the disastrous
discouragements of the past tea years, have
been thrust aside to make room for this si
lent member? How does it hapt en that
Pennsylvania is asked to disregard the con
spicuous public services or her own native
born sons, and to elevate to the chief magis
tracy a man of no ability at all, from anoth
er section of the Union? Before answer-
ng these queries we desire to ask especial
attention to the imprudent assumption of
ntc'lectual superiority incessantly paraded
before the country by emigrant Yaukees on
behalf of the New" England States whence
they come. We are constantly told by them
that New England supplies the progressive
power and intelligence of the republic, and
no matter how much of that movement is
furnished by the Middle States we never
get any credit for it. Thus while Pennsyl
vania emigrants outnumber those fro'.n all
New England, teu to one, iu Kansas we are
constantly told that the Kansas struggles
were carried on by Yankees. In the same
way these emigrant Yankees claim the cred
it of all that is progressive in the west,while
he fact is that the emigration from the
Middle States, iu the west overshadows all
else.
We do not raise this issue against Asa
Packer for any personal dislike of New Eng
land men, whom, as a general thing, we
like, but the Democratic party itself raised
the issue all over the South against every
Northern man, and in the election of 1S67 it
raised the same issue precisely in Pennsyl
vania. " We insist that if New Englandcrs
are to be elected to high offices in Pennsyl
vania they shall at least be men ot ability.
But here is a man whose career as a legis
lator is otic of unvarying imbecility, and
whose advancement rests entirely upon the
fact of Lis being worth twenty millions of
dollars. He was ptcsented 'on that basis
as a candidate for President of the United
Slates, and the Democratic National Con
vention fairly laughed at the idea of such a
nomination. .These men' had some sense
and some principle. They had statesmen
and soidiers in their ranks, and they spurn
ed the idea of nominating a money bag.
A great deal has been sai 1 about the lib
erality of Packer in giving a half million of
dollars to endow a college. But Ezra Cor
nell has done as much in New York and
uobody proposes to elect him Governor or
President for it. And wnat shail be said of
Packer when compared with "Peabody?
There are citizens of Philadelphia who have
given away ostentatiously ten times the a-
inount that Packer makes such a nounsh on.
And what shall be thought of Packer's lib
erality in view of the fact that he fled to
Philadelphia from his residence in Mauch
Chuuk to avoid the local tax assessed on
him to defray 6oldiers bounties? Ihistax
he never yet paid, while the poor property
holders of Mauch Chunk all had to pay it
This is the New England emigrant we
are now asked to make a Governor of. The
truth is, we have here a money getting aud
money hoarding monopolist, a typical man
froui among those who have amassed such
tremendous fortunes by running up the
price of coel so heavily. We have all of us
paid our share of the costof making up
these .enorraoua fortunes. It we admire
this bort of Venter prise" and wjnt to incite
others to' help themselves at our exiense,
all "we have to do is to elect Asa Packer
Governor of Pennsylvania, and the force of
the cxamole will soon produce a large crop
ot imitators. If the extortionate price of
pi.-tl is a des irable. thine, then Asa Packer
is iust the man for Governor. He rcpre
sents fairly the influences whereby the coal
trade has beeu so mismanaged. W e invi
our readers to examine the subject dispas
sionately for themselves, and we are quite
sure that they will come to much the same
conclusion that we have ourselves.
The weak and ignorant mistake their su
perstitious fears for moral impressions.
And some people said Rev. Sidney Smith
are apt to think them pious wheu they
are only bilious.
