"Isn't that the Warbuitons' carriage?''
asked Toni Otis.
I es,"
replied Gordon,
"Who was in It ?'r
"Florence and her admirer, Fred Avery."
"Is Florence Warburton going to marry
that atrocious flirt, after haring refused the
best men in New York?"
Tom Otis was ono of these best men who
hail been rein:m(l.
"I don't know ; but I scarcely think Fred
Avery is much of a marrying man."
"Of eintrNe you are going to the Warbur
tons' pall to-morrow ?"
"Oh, of COUTV. Everybody will be there."
"Good by, then. I stop here—my tailor,
you know."
"Oh, yes. You'll be there for the rest of
the afternoon. But I suppose you'll come
out quite new for the hall ?"
"Ugh!" groaned Tom Otis; "what can
a man wear to a ball that's fit to be seen ?
We are condemned to a solemn livery like a
pack of testament waiters."
"A very nice style of dress," said Gor
don.
"What would you have?"
"Why, colors, of coume. Rich velvet
coats and satin breeches, and—"
"111e9A me, you'd look like an actor."
"That's hotter than looking like a man
serrant."
Fool -by to you then, once more."
"Opera to-night ?"
I think FM But club aflorwarils, sure."
And they two gentlemen separated.—
The carriage which they had noticed stop
ped at the door of a handsome house in
Thirteenth street.
'Don't let my them brush against that
dirty wheel,'' said a light, merry voice from
inside the carriage, as Fred Avery sprang
upon the pavement and extended his hand.
"Oh dear, no. I'd rather be broken on
a wheel a dozen times than permit your
dress to bo soiled against ono."
"Any orders u►iss?" asked the coachman,
touching hit bat.
"Why, lot me see," said,Miss Warburton.
"You will come in with me, will you not,
Mr. Avery?"
"Too happy."
"Then the wrings may as well wait for
you, Stay here, Jones, and take Mr. Avery
wherever lie wishes when ho leaves here."
The mac said nothing but deliberntely
getting down off his seat, unfolded a couple
of blankets, with which he careftilly covered
the heated horses.
"In for a stay, ho is," was the ooachman's
comment on the length of time ho must, in
all probability, wait for the conclusion of
Mr. Avery's visit.
The ooftehrun meat have been a keen ob•
genre?. The hours had passed by the coach
man's great Pilver watch, oa whoee large

it out at the moment Fred Avery stepped
on the door-step.

Outside, the coachman swung his arms
and host his bands to keep them warm.
Inside, Fred Avery, with his flout von the
warm fur rug, the Ittprobe over his knees,
and the collar of his overcoat up snugly
about his care, indulged the soliloquy.
"She loves mu—loves mo dourly I That's

he reflected, was he than the morality of

his could testify to that-. end now, best of
all, the love of the sweetest, most elegant
girl in their set ! He could show his grafi. ,

Could it be possible that that way Edith
Rowan standing there on the corner of
Broadway, trying in vane to induce one of
the overcrowded stages to 'top for her,
while the snow fell heavily upon her pretty
head !
She had not even an umbrella.
Ah, now, this it. , an exceptional easo, and
besida, it need not necessarily be a ease of
flirtation.
"Driver, stop, thore—draw up that curb
where that young My is otandin."
The driver had drawn up before Mr. Avery
had quite finished speaking; end before the
horses had altogether made up their minds
to remain entirely quiescent, Fred Avery
was on the pavement.
"My dear Miss' Matson," he exclaimed,
"who ever would have thought of seeing
you out on such a day V"
'On such a day !" returned Miss Howson,
shivering with the cold ; "why, the day was
fine enough when I tame out, not more
than a couple of hours ago."
Fred suddenly. remembers it was fine
enough when he went in with Florence
Werburton, and snowing when he came
out. Ile muNt have staid a good while, he
thinks.
"The wort of it is," ?mid Miss Row4on,
"all the stages are NH and I can't get
home."
"Just step in the carriage and I'll take
you home," said Mr. Avery.
She did not require a 14econd invitation.
In a blinding snow storm one is not apt to
be squeamish about getting a shelter.
"What is your number now—Madison
avenue ?" asked Fred.
She gave it, and he repeated it the coach
man, who, Mr. Avery fancied, looked cross.
"As if it were any oC bnsines," said Mr.
Avery to himself with a shrng.
As the carriage rolled smoothly on Edith
began to thank him for his kindnes in pick
ing her np. It was so good of him, she
said; and, by the way, is this his carriage?
how very elegant it is.
No, this is Elerenee Warburton's carriage,
which the has lout him to take him where
ho wishes.
"Ali I" and Edith llowson bit her lip and
became suddenly pettish.
Little by little it came out. How all the
girls say Florence is crazy for love of Fred
Avery, and all the gentlemen say that Fred
Avery is awful "spoony" on Florence.
"Spoony, indeed," ejaculated Fred. "A
hateful word I Now Edith, can you believe
a man like me capable of being "spoony"
on any woman ?"
His arguments wore very convincing.—
How handsome he was!
Oh, dear, Item's the house in Madison
avenue. How short the drive has been !
Will Mr. Avery come in with her?
Yea, Mr. Avery will. Mr. Avery has
much to say to her. Ile must beg her to
deny all those reports calculated to throw a
slur on his manliness. He went iu with her
and had the driver wait for him again.
The driver thinking this would only be a
short stay, was careless enough not to trou
ble himself to cover his horses. But wl en
three-quarters of an hour had passed, and
evening came, and, the snow kept falling
faster and faster, the driver made his horses
and himself as comfortable as possible under
the uncomfortable circumstances.
At length Fred Avery e*mo out. Ho had
had two or three glasses of wine, and being
of a temperament easily affected by the spir
ituous, the intellectual was not so clear as it
might have been.
"Drive to the club I" he said huskily, and
AIR a breath laden with wino odor straight
in the coachman's face, "Drive there, and
hurry—then you osn go."
At the club be was again "chaffed" for
his penchant for Florence. He denied it
stoutly, with another bottle open before him.
and half of its contents sown from his stom
ach to his head.
And yet, spite of his tipsiness, spite of
the stuff he had taken, Flortnee Warburton
was the only woman ho had ever loved.
Back at the house the ooaehman was de
sirous of knowing whether Miss Florence
bad any further orders ; and, while seeking
that knowledge he, also took °Keaton to irn-
port isome which isunot altogether pleasant
knowledge for Throws.
She learned of Mr. Avery's having found
A lady in the West, whom ho took home,
and with whom be stayed a long, long time.
The number and the street of this house
being given her, she recognised Sao mai

The next day was the day of her ball.—
Fred did not some to see her; but it was
just as welL She was eo busy ; and, beside,
he would be sure to come early to the ball
in the evening.
lie came very late. Tom Otis and his
friend Gordon had been there dancing away
for two hours. At length he came, and
Florence met him in the hallway.
"You are late," she said coldly.
"Yes; I meta fellow from the West In
dies with whom I was obliged to dine, and
couldn't get rid of atterward. Ah,
Flo
renee," he whispered in her ear, and meant
it too, deeply, "how dearly I love you."
Her flume quivered with delight, for she
loved him with every fibre of her being.
'Fred entered the ball room, ancl the first
person he saw was Edith Howson. Witch
ing little creature. How piquant she looked
in her elotelsof tulle altd he coral ornaments.
Ile instantly remembered she was engaged
to hint for the first dance.
The first dance, and the r.econd, and the
third. Are they engaged to each other for
all the dances? Florence looked at them
with amazement. With her head and her
heart throbbing with aetttest pain, she whis
pered to her mother that she was so ill she
must go up stairs, but there need be no ces
sion of the festivities.
Up, stairs her maid met her and caught
her in her arms just as she was on the point
of fainting.
''\Vhy, miss," she said, "how rol you
look! Shan't some ono go for the u
No, no doctor. Miss Warburton says no
doctor can help her.
In the morning Fred Avery reviewed his
conduct with stliwenso disgust.
"Was I insane to act as I did? Is there a
fatality which drives me from the woman I
love toa woman who is uothing to me, whom
I despise, loathe, as I do myself?"
lie shuddered with disgust.
"lint I will see her," he said, "tell her
that I lave her dearly, in spite of all my
folly. She loves me, I know. She will not
refuse to see mu."

burton was too ill to see, any one. Days
passed ; oho was .Mill ill.
"1 will write to her," he said at last.
lie wrote this note, and s:ont it :
"Oft, vtv umti.mi--C.in you Forgive my
folly —wieloslness? Will you marry sue ?
Answer, if' but one word."
The answer came very promptly. It was
but one word—
No more flirting now for Fred Avery. No;
but there is Letbc in the wine cup, as there
is oblivion in opium eating.
Down down lingoes, sinking steadily from
one grade to another until ho has reached
the lowest. But long before this stage his
former friends cut him, and in the fashiona
ble circle, where he was once a brilliant
light, his name is almost forgotten.
Mrs. Warburton wondered if her dough.
ter had forgotten it. She knew Fred Avery
once proposed to Florence, and that she re
jected him.
"Po you think Florence over loved him ?"
asked Florence's aunt of her sister, Mrs.
Warburton.
"Never. She never mentions his name,
and she wrote 'No' to him when he proposed
to her."
One day they were at breakfast, and they
real in the morning paper of a handsome
young man who, crossing Broadway in a
state of intoxication, was knocked down by
a heavy truck and killed.
"What name ?" asked Florence.
"Frederick Avery•"
Florence said nothing further.
They ordered a carriage and went out.
She went through the routine of visiting
and shopping, and visiting galleries of paint
ings and a matinee of the opera. But
everywhere she set off alone and said noth
ing.
"Do you think she could have loved him?"
asked the mother now in turn, of the aunt•
"I cannot my," she replied.
In lam than a month Florence was stricken
with a favor.
"Is there no hope, doctor ?" came the
mother's last agonising quation.
"No. There is no hope. Frame too
emaciated by a previous, silent wasting
away to resist this hot tyrant of a typhoid."
An auiversary came and found Florence
still alive. It was the aniversary of the ball
which took plaoe five years ago.
Just as the clock pointed to the hour when
Fred Avery ciao that night, so late, and
meeting Florence in the hail way whispered
in her ear, "how dearly I love you!" she
turne dto her mother and said :
"Mother!"
"Yes, dear."
"Mother, good bye. Come, dry your tears.

That night she died whispering ;
"Bury me by his side."

Angling tor Dogs.
A Sporting Fslitor thus relates ono of. Lis
adventures—via
Another time we were traveling on grounds
we had no right to tramp over. The only
ensue was like that of military neeessity—
it was better fishing through the farms
where the Untie bad been preserved than in
the open flats where all could fish.
It was early in the morning. We had
risen at 3; ridden ten miles, and struck the
creek be the trout were ready for breakfast.
Looking carefully for a sheltered place to
hitch our horses, we slyly crept on behind
fences, etc., till we reached the part of the
stream not generally fished. A farm house
stood a quarter of a mile away. We saw
the morning smoke curling lightly from a
stovepipe ; saw a man and two boys come
to do chores; saw woman busy about the
door; and a ferocious bull dog wondering
about the yard.
If ever we fished close, it was then—not
a whisper to disturb the birds or the owners
of the land. We crawled through the grass
and dodged behind clumps of elders, lifting
large speckled beauties out of the wale
until our baskets were full.
This was the time to have gone, but the
trout were so large and bit so readily, that
we could not withstand the temptation, so
we decided to string and bide what we had,
and take another basketful. No sooner
would the hook touch the water than we
bad a trout. We forgot the house, the man
anti boys and the dog.
Suddenly there was a rushing through no
oat field as if a mad hull were corning I We
looked toward the house, and saw the farm
er and his two boys on a fence, the women
in the door, and the bull dog hounding to
wards us• We saw it all—we had been dis
covered. The well trained dug had been
sent to hunt us out, and as the matter ap
peared, it was safe to bet that he was doing
that thing lively.
To out run the dog was not to be thought
of. There was uo time to lose. He cleared
a fence and came for us just as we reached a
tree and by great activity, took a front scat
on a limb above his reach.
Here was a precious go I A vicious bul
dog under the tree, and a forumr and two
big boys ready to move down upon our
works. It was a light, loot-race or fangs I

r man— "Just
hold on thar, till we get breakfast, stranger,
then we'll come and lice you! If you arc
in a hurry, however; you can go now !
Watch him Tige !"
We surmised trouble: quite much ; for
twice had the bold man of bull dogs and ag
riculture elegantly wolloppcd innocent tour

His name as a pence man was not good,
and there arose n large heart toward our
throat !
Time iri the essence of contracts, and the
saving ordinance for those in troub
le. We had a stout line in our pocket, and
a large hook intended for rock bass, if we
failed to take tront.
And, as good luck would have it, we had
a nice sandwich and a pace of boiled corn
ed beef in our pocket.
We called the dog pet names, but he
wasn't on it! Then we tried to move down
—when he'd move up! At last we trebled

Not any !
Then we pulled gently on the line—it was

We quickly slid down the tree—coming

We saw him and his 'cohorts, male and

saw them look up the tree. We saw an

Colonel Min Mee'', Speech,
la ll'its/41agton, Saturday, Apra 4, MK
There being a very large attencla#, Col
onel Rice was called on to define hitiposition
on National affairs, in conformity with a rtt
mow that had bean put in circulation during
the day by variant parties in the metropolis.
Mr. Rico said : I understand that it has
been intimated, and I presume that I am
expected to expretarmy views with reference
to the great political questions now agitating,
dividing, and perplexing the public mind:
I know that it is considered improper, as
well as impolitic for public artists to intrude
as it is termed, their individual opinions
where they aro expected only to MUM ; but
as I have never adhered to this rule or fear
ed to raise my humble voice when my duty
as au American citizen compelled ma to
speak, I will nep now hold my peace when
I sec such a thxyroclal farce as is being
enacted in this, the Nation's capitol. (Ap
plause.)
Neither personal considerations nor pecu
niary advantages shall restrain me from rais
ing my voice in protest against this outrage
upon the people's rights. I can say, as was
said by Senator Foote to General Cass, in
reply to an attack made by him upon the
"Sage of Ashland," "I ask no favors, and
fear no assaults." (Applaum.)
Would to God that we had now in the
Councils of the Nation such men as a Clay,
as a Webster, men of massive intellect, of
exalted worth and purity of purpose, berme
whose giant minds the miserable tricksters
of the present day appear as "insigniflennt
pigmies."
But alas! alas they are gone I and I
fear much "we shall never look upon
their like again I am free to admit that
there are in the halls of legislation, men of
undoubted integrity, who, 1 cannot believe,
will be so forgetful of their solemn oaths as
to purjer themselves, and ignore all justice,
humanity, and equity, by consummating the
"greatest of wrongs," against both the na
tion and an honest man, (Applause•)
Although I can with difficulty make my
self heard, if there are any Senators within
the sound of my voice, I hope they will
heat and read my protest, made "in the
name of the people," fin. /bm the people,
an d 1 tell t ow they will wit permit you to
go unrebuked, if you allow partisan neces
sity or political p►ejudiec to prevail in your
councils, over justice, patriotism, or that
"grave sense of duty," which you nzustf ,, el,
and which your States (xpret you will ever
bear in mind.
if you do not wish to break up and destroy
"tit° great Republican party," you must
abandon this whole scheme, for the removal
of President Johnson sounds its death knell.
(Here the Colonel made a movement as
though to retire, when some one in the au
dience cried out, "Go ou, Pan, you have a
right to speak ;" cries of "that's so, "go On,
ge on.''
The Colonel resumed: Yes I have a right
to speak I I am not a partisan, but the friend
of the people and the soldier I love the
Union! I honor its defenders! and to the
extent of tug means I have ever contributed
to its support and defence. I gave the first
fit out to a regiment raised in my county,
the gallant 83d Pennsylvania, led by the
immortal Cul. McLean. Those men went
forth to enforce obedience to the Constitu•
tion and laws!
Where are the Constitution and the laws
now? They have been wrenched from the
bands of President Johnson, (who hung on
to them as long as be could) and locked up
in a strong box at the War Office. Who
has the key? General Grant did have it,
but he gave it up to Stanton, the first time,
by the way, that I ever beard of General
Grant surrendering. (Laughter and ap
plume.)
By and by, speaking of General Grant, I
have an undying regard for the heroic Gen
end, whose military achievements will ever
illume the pages of "our country's glorious
record," mid I cannot believe that General
Grunt will be so unwise as to become the
tool of designing politicians who desire to
use him for their own base ends.
Grant is a great General, but a "sick old
politician," (laughter) but don't deceive
yourselves, he is not as weak in the upper
story as many of you suppose. (Laughter.)
He is not going to give up a "sure thing"
for an uncertainty. "A bird in the hand is
worth two on the bush," and ho knows it,
you bet—unless he is a greater fool than 1
take him to be. (Profound laughter and
applause.)
(The Colonel again attempted to retire
but the audience testified their non-ooneur
rent* by repeated cries of "go on, we want
to hoar mom")
He then resumed: The condition of my
voice is such, my friends that I shall be
compelled to bring my remarks to a speedy
conclusion, but before I bid you farewell
you may desire to know where I live. My
home is in Girard, Pennsylvania, where I
cordially invite you, one and all, should you
pass that way, to call and see me. In the
words of General Harrison, "You will al
ways find the lateipg of my door bang
ing out," or it may that the voice of the
people will call me to the White House.
If such is to be my fats—mil and ace me.
Until then I must say farewell. God
bless you all. Good by.
The, Colonel then retired, fbllowed by a
bed di!, friends, who passed around, con
gratulating hint upon his nueeess.
"RAE our girls fitted for wives?" inquires
ft sober exohnnge. Are they fitted for
husbands?" retorted II young itemiser.

A BXAUTIPUI COMPOSMON BY GIL

bravo old General himself, and for teritness

exceeded by any &huller monumental record:
Here lies body of Mrs. Rachel Jackson,
who died on the 22 day of December, aged
61 years. Iter face was fair, her person
pleasing, her temper amiable, and her heart
kind. She delighted in releiving the wants
of her fellow creatures, and cultivated that
divine pleasure by the most liberal and un
pretending methods. To the poor she was
a benefactress, to the rioh she was an exam
ple, to the wretched a comforter, to the
prosperous an ornament, her pity went hand
in hand with her benevolence, and she
thanked her creator for being permitted to
do good. A being so gentle and yet so yir•
tuns slander might wound, but could not
dishonor. Even Death, when he tore her
from the arms of her husband, could but
transplant her to the bosom of her God."
A Bosom PIN.—A young gentlems.
from the country stepped into a country
tom and informed the proprietor that his
occupation was that of scarp nter, and he
desired to get a bosom pin emblematic of
that profession. Thu obliging jeweler look
ed over his stock, and, finding nothing else ,
showed him a very fine Masonic pin. The
young man looked at:it:carefully.
" Yes," said he, there is the compass
and the square; I use both of them; but
why didn't they but a saw in it? It's first
mte as far as it goes. Hallo ! there's O.
there—what does that stand far?'
The jeweler didn't know. The man stud
ied it carefully for a moutent,and a bright
idea struck him. His face flushed as if ho
bad made discovery.
"I have it," he said ; " It'sall right. G.
stands for gimlet, Compass square and
gimlet! That will do—l will take it.
Thera was a little touch of sadness in his
voice as he pinned the emblem on his coat,
and wont away muttering
Compass, square and gimlet. Idu
with there was a saw, though,"
DAN RICE ON TUE SITUATION.—CoIoneI
Dan Rice, the great showman, who ha 4

menagerie, took leave or them but Friday
evening by a bred' speech, wherein.he allud
ed to the political situation, and the folly
the Executive by the Legislative branch of
the government, and he declared it to bo
his conviction that the Son 'tors, sitting as
the highest of courts, could not be so for
getful of theireolonn oath as to perjure
themselves and ignore all justice, humanity
and equity, by consummating the highest
of all wrongs to both a nation and an honest
man. The large audience manifested their
appreciation of the Colonel's views by giv
ing him three heartychccrs.

the roads so I can't haul water."
Profane swearing never did any man goon'.
No man is the richer, or happier, or wiser
