For 'tie a hallowed story%
The theme of freedom a birth,
Our fathers deeds of glory,

The sound is waxing stronger,
And thrones and nations hear,
Wogs muy oppress no longer,
For Freedom's reign is near,
Iler name will crush opprevAion,
And raise the humble mind,
And give the earth's possession,
Among the good and kind.
And thou shalt sink the mountains,
Where pride and power were crowu'd,
And peace, like gentle fountains,
Shall shed its pureness round:
And then the world will hear us
And join our glorious Ito',
And songs of millions her

Soon freedom's loud hosannas
Shall burst from every voice,
Till mountains and savannas •
Roll hack the sound—rejnioc;
Then raise die song of freedom,
The loudest sweetest strain,
The captive's chains arc riven
And liberty shall reign.

A rnur rtrxeu ROMANCE
Knowing that the general class of readers
I
are more interested in tales founded upon
; fats that fiction, we give the tidlowing
sketch, which, although rivaling many of
those romantic pictures drawn by action
1 writers, is vouched for by an old English
I ournal as being founded upon a real life oc
currence, and merely polished by the pen of
I the writer. A newly-married couple had
just come front the altar, and were about
starting on a bridal tour as the following
conversation took place:
The newly-married husband took one of
his bride's hands in his own. "Allow me,"
said he, "thus to hold your hand, for I dread
j least you should quit me. I tremble least
this should be an illusion. It seems to me
that I am the hero of one of those fairy
tales which amused me in my boyhood, and
which, in the hour of happiness, sonic
lignant fairy steps ever in to throw the vie
tim into grief and despair I"
"Reassure yourself, my dear Frederick,"
said the lady. was yesterday the widow
of Sir James Melton, and to-day I am Mad
tune tie la Tour, your wife. Banish from
your mind the idea of the fairy. This is
not a fiction, but a history."
Frederic do la Tour had, indeed, some
reason to suppose that his fortunes were the
work of a fairy's hand ; for, in the course of
one or two short months, by a seemingly in
explicable stroke of fortune, ho had been
I raised to happiness and wealth beyond bis
desire. A Yriendles orphan, twenty-five
years old, he had been the holder of a clerk
ship which brought him a scanty livelihood,
when, one day, as he passed the Roe St.
Ilettore, a rich equipage stopped suddenly
before him, and a young and elegant woman
called front it to him. "Monsieur, Mon
sieur," said she.
At the same time, at a given Signal, the
footman leaped down, opened the carriage
door, and invited Frederick to enter. Ile
did so, though with some hesitation and sur
prise, and the carriage started off at full
speed.
"I have received your note, sir," said the
lady to M. de la Tour, in a very soft and
sweet 'aloe ; "and, in spite of refusal, I
hope yet to see you to-morrow evening at
my Party,"
"To see me, Madame !" cried Frederick.
"Yes, sir, you----Ah a thousand par
dons," continued she, with an air of confu
sion. "I see my mistake. Forgive me sir
you are so hko a particular friend! What
can you think of me ? Yet the resemblance
is so striking that it would hawo deceived
any one." • -
Of mune Frederick replied politely to the
apologies.
Just as they were terminated the carriage
stopped at the door of a splendid mansion,
and the young man could do no more than
offer his arm to Lady Alelton, us the fair
stranger announced herself to be. Though
English in name, the fair lady, nevertheless,
was evidently of French origin. Her ex
treme beauty charmed M. do la Tour, and
ho congratulated himself upon the happy
aecitleut which had gained blm such an ao.
quaintanco. Lady Melton loaded him with
civilities, and he was not ill-looking certain
ly; but he had not the vanity to think,
appearance was magnificent; and his plais
and scanty wardrobe prevented him from
doing credit to his tailor.
He accepted an invitation to the party

bout& w,, WI dby admirers.
One by one they4limprol, giving way to
the poor clerk, wtio 4.04 to ingress the
lady's whole *Wits, Finally, almost by
her own asking, they were betrothed. Fred
erick used to look sometimes et the plan
which hog in his hum* lodging, and
wonder to what cirettmeoce he owed his
happy fortune, fie used to coneln4o,kis
meditations by the reflection that assuredly
the lovely widow was fulfilling some una•
voidable award of destiny. As for his own
feelings the 14143 y waslovely, young, rich, so
complishodAnd naiad' for her aesibility and
virtue---could he hesitate?
' When the marriage contract was signed
his astonishment was redoubled, for he found
himself, through the lady's love, the virtual
possessor of large property both in England
and Franco. The presence of friends had
certified and sanctioned the union, yet, as
bee been stated, Frederick felt some strange
fear, in spite of himself, lest all should
prove an illusion, and he grasped his bride's
hand as if to prevent her being spirited
away from his view.
"My dear Frederick," said the-lady, mil
iogly, "sit down beside me and let me say
something to you.
The young husband obeyed, but did not
quit her hand. She began, "Once on a
time"—Frederick started, and half-seriously
exclaimed, "Heavens ! it is a fairy tale !"
"Listen to me, foolish boy," reanmed the
lady. "There was once a young girl, the
daughter of parents well-horn, and at one
time rich, but who had declined sadly in
circumstances. Until her fifteenth year the
family lived in Lyons, depending entirely
for subsistence upon the labor of her father.
Some better hopes sprung up and induced
them to come to Paris ; but it is difficult to
stop in the descent down the path of !ebb! ,
tune. For three years the father struggled
hard against poverty, end at last died in an
hospital. The mother soon followed ; and
the young girl was left alone, the occupant
of a garret of which the rent was not paid.
If there were any fairy connected with the
story this way the moment for her appear
ance ; but none name. The young girl re
mained alone, without friends or protectors,
hammed by debts which she could not pay,
and seeking in vain fur some species of em
ployment. She found none : still it was
nece% , ary for her to Lave &el. Ono day
passed on which she tasted nothing. The
night that tbllowed was sleepless. N e xt
day was again passed without food, and the
poor girl was forced into the resolution of
begging. She covered her heel with her
mother's veil, the only heritage she had re
ceived, and, stooping to simulate ape, sh e
held out her long. Alas! the hand war
white, and youthful, and delicate. She felt
the necessity of covering it up in the t:ilds
of the veil, as .if it had been leprosied.—
Thus convealed, the poor girl held out her
hand to a young woman who passed—ono
more happy than herself—and asked, 'A
sou—a single sou—to get bread !' The pe
tition was unheeded. An old man passed.
The mendicant thought that experieuee of
the distresses of lifo might have softened one
like him,but she was in error. Experieuoe
bad only hardened, not softened, his heart..
"The night was cold and rainy, and the
hour had come when the night pollee ap
peared to keep the streets clear of all men
dicants and suspicious ehafacters. At this
period the shrinking girl took courage once
more to hold out her hand to a passer by.
It was a young man. He stopped at the
silent appeal, and diving into his pockets
pulled out a piece of money, which he threw
to her, being apparently afraid to touch a
thing so miserable. Just as ho did this,
one of the police said to the girl:
"Ah, I have caught you, have I ?—you
are begging. To the office with you! come
along!"
"The young mats_ interposed. He took
hold hastily of the mendicant, of her whom
he had before seamed afraid to touch, and
addressing himself to the policeman, said re
provingly : This woman is not a beggar.—
No; she is—she is One whom I know.—
"But sir," said the officer—, "I tell you
that she is an acquaintance of mine," ropet
ed the young stranger. Then turning to the
girl, whom he took for au old and feeble wo
man, he continued:
"Come along, my good dame, and permit
me to see you safely to the end of the street.'

then led her away, saying : 'Here is a piece
of a hundred sous. It is all I have—take l it,
poor woman."
"The crown of a hundred sous passed from
your hand to mine," continued the lady
"and as you walked along, supporting my
stops, I then, through my veil, distinctly
saw your face and figura"—
"My figure 1" said Frederick, in amaze
ment.
"Yee, my friend, your figure," returned
hie wife, "it was to me that yon gave alms
on that night. It was my life—my honor,
perhaps—that you then eared!"
"You mendicant—you, eo young, eo
beautiful, and now so ileh," cried Frederick.

He spoke with my mistress, and learnt that .
I was of good flintily; in short, learnt my
whole history. The remelt was, that he sat
down by my side one day and asked me
plainly if I would many him.
"Marry you!" cried I, in surprise.
"Sir Janne Melton was a man of sixty,
tall, pale and feeble-looking. In answer to
my exclamation of astonishment, he said :
Yes, I ask if you will be my

My relatives seem to yearn to see mein iy

pee of kindly care that if‘..got to be bought
from servants. I have heard your story,
and believe you to be one who will support
prosperity as, well as you have adversity. I
make my proposal sincerely, and hope that
you will agree to it."
"M that time, Frederick," continued the
lady, "I loved you ; I bad seen you but
once, but that once was too memorable for
tno ever to forgot it, and something always
insinuated to me that we were destined to
pass through life togetheb. At the bottom
of my soul, I believed this. Yet every one
around me pressed me to accept the offer
made me, and the thought struck me that I
might one day make you wealthy. At
length my main objection to Sir James Mel
ton's proposal lay in a disinclination to make
myself the instrument vengeance in Sir
James's hands against relatives whom he
might dislike without good grounds. The
I objection, when stated, only increased his
I anxiety for my consent and finally, under
the impression that it would be, after all,
carrying romance the length of folly to re
ject the advantageous settlement offered to
me, T consorted to Sir James's proposal.
"This part of the story, Frederick, is re
ally like a fairy tale. I, a poor orphan, pee
-1 nilrest, became the wife of one of the richest
baronets of England. Drened in silks and
i
1 sparkling with jewels. I could now pass in
~
I my carriage through the very streets whore,
; a few months before, I had stood in the rain
and darkness—a mendicant?"
I ' Happy Bir James I" cried M. de la
Tour, at this part of the story; "he could
prose his love by enriching you."
"Ile was happy," resumed the lady.—
"Our marriago,so strangely assorted, proved
notch more conducive, it is probable, to his
own comfort than if he had wedded ono with
1 whom all the parade of settlements, of pin
I money, would have been necessary,
"Never, I believe, did he for an instant
repent of' our union. I, on my part, con
ceived myself bound to do my best for the
solace of his declining years ; and he, on his
I part, thought it incumbent on him to pro-
vide for my future welfare. He died, leav
ing me a large part of his oubstanee—as
I much indeed, am I could prevail upou my-
I self to accept. I was now a widow, and
I from the hour to which I became MO, I
Ivowed never again to give my hand to man,
lexeeptin,g to him who had succored me in
my hour of distress, and whose remembrance
had ever been preserved in the recess of' my
heart. But. how to discover that tnan ? Ah,
unconscious ingrate ! to make no endeavor
1 to come in the way of one who sought to
ilove and enrich you! I knew not your
name. In vain I looked for you at balls, as
-1 eetnblies and theatres. You went not there,
! Ah, how I longed to meet yon !"
As the lady spoke she took from:her neck
a rihand, to Which was attached a piece of a
bemired sous. 'lt is the same—the very
same which you gave me." said she, presen
ting it to Frederick; "by pledging it I got a
little bread from a neighbor, and I earned
enough afterward in time to permit mu to
recover it. I vowed never to part from it.
"Alt, how happy I was Frederick when I
saw you in the street I The excuse which I
made for stopping you was the first that rose
to my mind. But what tremors I felt even
afterward, lest you should have been already
married ! In that case you would never
have heard aught of this fairy tale, though
I would have taken some means to serve
and enrich you. I would have gone to En
gland, and them passed my days in regret,
perhaps, but still in pew. But, happily,
it was to be otherwise. You were single."
Frederick de la Tour was now awakened,
as it were, to the full certainty of his hap
piness. Whet he could but before look
upon as a sort of freak of fancy in a young
and wealthy woman, was now proved to be
the result of deep and kindly feeling, most
honorable to her who entertained it. The
heart of the young husband overflowed with
gratitude and affection to the lovely and no
ble hearted being who had given hereelf to
him, lie was too happy for some time to
speak. His wife first honks, silence.
"So, Frederick," said she gaily, "you see
that if I am a fairy it is you, who has given
me the wand—the talisman—that has effec
ted all !"

lathe year 1886, the iulabitants living
ini iiietrict bordering on Rodk River, in the
por,thern part of the State of Illinois were
much incensed by the depredations of a
hod of horse theives who infused that poru
goo of the,. ; country. Every exertion bad

/ During such a etalm: of affairs, the citizens
residing in theregion of the theirs became
thoroughly excited, and-were wound up kr
such a pitch of indignation, that a body, of
men were formed etyledliangere, irbooe im
plicit duty was to expunge the diet** of all
mdmicious ehameters, 904 endeavor to put
a sop to their depredations.
Shortly alter this band commenced opera
time word was conveyed to the leader
of the Rangers list a valuable horse
which : had been stolen the night previous,
could Men be found on the premises of a
man named Burt, locked up in the stable.
Although Burt, heretofore had been looked
upon as an honest man and an upright citi
zen, yet the Captain deemed it his duty to
at least eumine his forte and learn the
truth or falsity of the report.
Accordingly he summoned some half do
len of his Rangers to meet him at a spot
not far from Burt's house, sod before morn
ing, set out for the same place himself.—
Daylight was hardly discernable in the east,
and the hazy light of coming dawn had not
yet penetrated the bottom, where the au
spicious man resided, as the Rangers, charg
ed with the fearful mission of life or death,
silently approached, and surrounded the
dwelling. Leaving three of the baud to
guard the entrance, the Captain opened the
door, and found the missing, horse, as bad
been suited, safely stalled inside.
Not a lingering doubt now remained of
Burt's guilt, and. with a stern determination
to make such an example of him as would
deter others from a like transaction, the
Rangers returned to the house. In the
meantime, Burt had risen, and upon com
ing to the door, was seized by those in wait
lee, and upon demanding the reason was in
formed that a stolen animal was found in
his stable, and that he was considered a
thief. Muttering something about "he
know it would come to this at last," he qui
etly submitted to whatever hie captors bad
in store for him.
A short consultation was held. and it was
resolved to hang the criminal upon a large
elm tree that grew in front of hisown house
it being thoughtthat such an act would
strike terror and dismay into the ranks of
the horse thieves.
Burt had asked half an hour to prepare
for his death, and the sun had risen in all its
golden inkiesty, ere the fatal moment had
artived which would launch him into eterni
ty. In vain his grayheaded father and
mother pleaded for his life, with trembling
tongues—they tottering forth from the
dwelling, and kneeling in suppliant mood
too his apparently merciless captors. In
vain had the wife of his bosom knelt in
tears of agony, and entreated them as hug
hands to spare his life, for each Ranger had
suffered more or less in person, and they
deemed the example absolutely necessary to
deter others, and it. seemed u though Burt
must die.
The dreadful pref)arations were complet
ed—the half hour had expired—and the
criminal was arranged under the limb of a
stout elm, over which a ropo was thrown,
ono end being loosed around the prisoner's
neck, and the other held by three of the ran
gers.
Then came a moment of dreadful silence;
that awful stillness which precludes the
launching of a fellow-being into eternity—
while the three strong men who held the
ropes' end, gazed fixedly upon the Captain
for the signal. It was given by raising the
right arm ; and already the noose was tight
ening around the doomed man's neck, when
the wife of Burt issued forth from the
house holding en infant, a little more than
a year old, in her arms.
Rushing forward, she fell on her knees di
rectly in front of the Captain, and raising
the child with arms outstretched, towards
him, she exclaimed, in tones that would
have pierced a heart of steel—
"lf you will not spare him for the sake
of grey haired sire, or the wife of his bosom,
spare him in the mune of God, for the sake
of his infant boy 1"
Another dead silence reigned like a pall
over the spot ; then, as though inspired by
heaven itself, the child almo stretched out its
little arms towards its father, and exclaim
ed, in a voice heard by all, the single word.
" Father !"
And then, as though disparing of success,
huddled into it's mother's boson), and burst
into a sobbing cry.
It was more than the Rangers could stand,
and after a short consultation, the rope was
faken from the criuiinal's neck, and the
band left tho spot ; and Burt became a re
formed man through the powerful effects of
his " Iltianea Appeal."— Great West.

1210 touched with fire ;
Fain would I still its strains prolong
On mem'rys lyre.
Ye geode galea, that breathe of spring
Flit o'er her grave,
And whale*. balmy odors bring,
Gives vivo,
Oh G , Inns wdloweree that weeps
O'er her sweet bemati:
Oh nourish each fond flower that keeps.
Watch o er her met
Then soft and fragrant summer breeze,
Her grave come nigh,
And linger 'along theanweekrees
That o'er her sigh.
Ye brightest stare of shining spheres,
Smile from above:
Thou row morn, thy dewy tears
Weep o'er my love.
Oh I weep then at thy dawning hour,
When none is near;
Oh fill the chalice of each flower
With one pure tear.
So should they drop upon the ground
From flow'rets' eyes
They'll fitly consecrate the mound
'Heath which she lies.

Here lea picture for all to look upon ; one
which all should see and reflect upon. As
the Cincinnati Enquirer well say', it is a
mirror in which "Radicalism" can see its
practical development I It is the great fruit
of Radical speeches! It is the sweet par-
ticular blossom of its policy ! It is a fra
grant exhibition of its statesmanship I It is
what we have gained by the war, and about
all we have gained, except the gigantic
debt, and a loss of a million of' lives ! How
do the people of the North like such rulers
they selected United State. Senators to vote
on the rale not only the South, but the
North also. What a progress we shall make
in the South with "Cuffee" and "Sambo"
thus leading the van in its principal cities—
dishonored and degraded vagrants, who
have crawled into the places that were once
filled by genius, worth and talent? Who
will not vote at the North to brush away,
as we would the web of the spider, this
shameAd and infamous burlesque upon gov
ernment in the South ?
Who is Grant?
Who is Grant? The man who said he
would "fight it out on this (the Wilderness)
line, if it took all summer," but didn't and
was fain, in the end, to take Mo'Clellan's
line, on the James river. Who is Grant?
The General who, before he took Richmond,
lost nearly twice as many men as Leo had in
his whole army when the opposing fortes
first met on the Rappahannock. Who is
Grant? The man who "swung round the
circle" with Andy Johnson in 1666, until he
became giddy at Cleveland, and couldn't
swing any further; the man who stood by
Andy Johnson's side when tbo latter was
presenting the resolutions of the Philadel
phia Convention ; the man who kicked out
Stanton in August, and sneaked out of the
War Office in order to let Stanton crawl
back to it, in December ; the man who
broke his word with his friend, the Presi
dent; the man who endorses the enfran
chisement of 600,()00 nogroes, and, at the
same time, declares he will have "no policy"
if elected to the Presidency. This is Grant.
From such a President, good Lord, deliver
us P—Harrisbarg Patriot.

STORY 0? TWO CALVES. -.iiM Smith
was a noted auctiodeter. One day he was
selling farm stook. Among the articles to
be sold was a heifer, very attractive in her
appearance, and consequently "Jim" dwelt
extensively on her many excellencies, wind
ing up his eloquent flourish that she was u
''gentle as a dove." Thereupon, a long,
slab•sided countryman: whose legs were
some twelve inches longer than his pants,
approaching the heifer and stooping down
commenoed handling her teats. Bossy, not
relishing such familiarity, lifted her hoofs
and laid "greeny" sprawling some ten feet
off.
"There," said "Jim," "that Ans. nne
of her best traits ; abi:ll never allow s
strange call to come near her l"
"Greeny" meanwhile picked himself up,
and giving Ilia busby pate a harrowing
