THE OLD 11IRAELE.
The children wont laughing and sing
ing down toward the vilktge, the clouds
began to pile up in the west for the com
dug sunset, and, the first flush uf spring
beauty 'tinged the hills and woods with
peculiar radiance.
As they stood in the grove—Annie
Linn 'and Charles Manson—the rush of
the river below, and the voices of the
children from the'road, mingled together
like the bass and soprano of Some exqui
site melody;Thut, if they heard.it at all it
was with the iMpatience which comes
over one when happy sound hrealt in

She liipl come down'lliere to bid him

a quarrel which ends in a pleasant recon
ciliation,' but frorrra settled conviction of
the necessity Of the step, which, once
taken, must be irrevocable.
They were both young. A year before
they had been for a short time engaged;
but all that had long' since been broken
off, • and this last 'interview was a great
deal worse than useless, thofrgh perhaps'
without it neither could have brought
their minds to regard that book in their
lives as completely closed.
Charles Manson was the oldest son of
a widow. He had been a spoiled; hand
some boy—l fear ho Was a wayward, reck

whom everybody likes, and whose Agree

at all dilliment . ; . •
Now, as) a,- boy, Charley would not

determined to go to° college.. Ho had a-C

vacations; a distant relative helped him,
and so he went on.
But, alas, during the last year of his
course everything changed. Charley
made the acquaintance of an'entirely now

habits, whom he ouert•to have, avoided
—and his natural disposition did the rest.

the truth, and to exonerate Annie from
all : bltune in the matter.. _ _ •
Old Linn loved money. If Charley,
laid 'Been as-steady. as young Solon, he
would not have gi - sen him his daughter,
'lt- was convenient that the young man
offered him a reasonable excuse for the
course be pursued. . ••
Annie held her 'fathe'r in great , awe.
She had inherited the feeling from, hei•
mother, who, ten years before, had faddd
in her'grave, perhaps glad that, for epee,
s he. could do something: , ln , peace ani
quiet. The neighbors talked still about
her resignation; the old mininter, often
alluded to her death bed is the most edi
fying_scenc_le_liadiAer__Kituessed.
I suppose Mr. Linn Nin's sorry. Her
health had ieeb failing:for a long time,
and slid had bee'n obliged to neglect _tier
dairy, and that fact helped to support
him in his bereavement:
Ile never married again, and Annie
grew up under the shadow of her father's
presence, and, the, ; tyranny of two elder
brothers who were really prototypes of
their pareni. One of them was married .
now, and his hustling, active wife gave
Annie a word of good. advice, and set .
her face against Chai:les ➢l:insmi and all
belonging to him, with a praiseworthy
pertinacity.
Thete they stood in the maple grove,
with the sunset gathering about them,
and the black sorrow swooping down
over their souls like the heaVy clouds
that hovered above the radiance of the
.west

But though her heart trembled beneath
his Words and swayed towards. him With
old affections, his passionate language
beat vainly against the ttirtitude with

dialled her.

"You ace me going crazy before your

"O, Charley, Charley !"—the -utter

sob—" if you cannot be. all that you

" They would—they . would !
She shook her head sadly, retaining all
the while a, forced comimsure though
inwardly she trembled so that she could
hardly stand.

exclaimed. You look upon me as a mon

She put up her hand pleadingly, and
he stopped. She could not bear to hear
him attempt such self justification. With
Ler religionS feeling, the excesses' of
which he had been guilty, aPpeared
much more terrible than they would have
done to a woman of, the world; but she
loved him in spite of everything, for
when did such doubts ever- change agree-

" 0, Charles I" she said suddenly; "for
your own sake, for your mother's be true
to yourself—malce your Ifi) all that it

" What do I care for myself? As for

am Of no consequence—no one will Cam
how I end."
"You aro breaking my heart: po n t
nalce us all so miserable."
She rung her hands With a laidden pas
sion which startled him. She was usually
so quiet that, with his impetuous nature,
accustomed to give vent tpevery feeling,
he had at times accused of a wlnt of
feeling.
"It is my:heart 'which is_hreaking,"_.

"If, you had lost every hope in the
ar . orld,_ you ought no to, be that. I can
never be anything to you; my father will
not permit it.''
"And can you hesitate between us?
Is this your love? •
"My duty is stronger than My love,"
she said, "and r shall obey. W is T

before I committed my hapPinefis to•your

For two days Tenger Charley Manson
lingered about the village, then disap
peared. It - was supposed at first lie had
returned4o London, but two days after
his mothdr found a letter in the chamber
which he usually occupied.
It only said that he would never trou
ble-her again—neither her or any one. It
was better Oaf everything should end.
At first she could not mulerstand the
signature of that half illegible scrawl.
Gradually it broke iipon her mind that
the leave taking meant, •suicide. Slie
grew almost mad with horror of the
thou,Ot.
The report went abroad, and-every
body, formed a separate opinion; but
wheit_the tidings reacjied Annie Linn,
she could not doubt, even for, an instant,
that he was dead.
Mrs. Manson wrote to his city friends.

Charles Manson. Out from the nearest
house of the village ran several men tak
ing the path the children had come - tip,
which led to the cove.
It was a beautiful spot in the sfunnlet
time, when water was li,w,-tdieltered.
between the high green banks of the
shore and the -tall trees of the island;
but at that season of the year the cur
rent was swollen by the spring rains that
the island Sias - half overihmed, and the
pretty cove a deep Mack eddy-, NvllTre the
waters seethed :ttld foamed in their in
sane whirl.
Annie Linn stood motionless in the
doorway. From the first instant , she saw
the. wild race of the children she under
stood what had happened. They had
found, the body; he had-been drowned in
the OM -
Then the -dreadful doubt whether it
had been accidental or the ivork of
. ;;elr
destruction. She remembered, his last
words; hut even in that hour of supr'eme
anguish she could not see hen way to
have acted differently.
She till stood there,while more__peo
ple went hkrying doWn through' the
fidlds, and the exeitetnent became gen

lutist be alOne or her very reason would

up on her hands and knees to the soli

• Perhaps an hour afterward 'sonic im
pulse forced her to the window. She
looked out: Up the path oamo a train
of men-carrying something over which
was spread a white sheet that fluttered
a little in the wind.
Only a glance—then she fell to the floor
and lost everything for a time in that
blessed insensibility.
The body was carried to that old brown
farm house. The face scan swollen and
unrecognizable, but the, widow . remem
bered the clothes. It was the body of
her son.
Tho evening'bcforethe funeral of poor
Charles. 3Tanson, -Annie Linn wandered
out of the house into the IleldS---not to

her favorite haunts; she could not even
look towards that.
She:-saw the-old brown house nn the

and walked down thikhill. Annie knew

A Louisville correspondentptthe.Cinr.
einnati Commarciat gives the 'follow . ing
picture of the Hon. Millard Filhnoie, as
he appeared at tlie Comniiireial-Conven
tion :
lfillardrFillmore is 'as faultless an
old gentleman as thefeis in the • world.
'His - garincutsp.f_black_bypadcloth, im
maculatelined anastanding_collar, black.
Satin stoCkings,:and Mpat glossy boots
are spotlessly perfect, and fit without a
•wrinkle too Much. He is tall, well pro
portioned, and inclines to an embonpoint
that is just right to a pennyweight. His
foot is small and, well turned, instep
arched, and is, encased in a number six
boot. ...•
Mr. Fillmore is a blonde 'who, on the
verge of 70, retains his original clear
ness of complexion. Extreme nicety,
intilarge.sonse; overspreads him. His
rather small, steel blue eyes are still clear
and alert, his teeth white and even, his
hair moderately plentiful, almost snowy
white, and carefully cut to a. standard
neither long nor short. • Only at the
crown is there a partial thinning out.
His ample dciuble chin and large, oval,
pinky florid cheeks are firm and fair in
texture, andhave none of the, purplish
tiliU - Orliirjbliving. Mr.. Fillmore is ev
idently a generous liver, scrupnouslytem
perrite in diet, and serupuously nice in
dress. He looks like an immaculate dis
tinguished man, produced by a' repuhli
whose aim as a mblic officer is to be al-
waysiabsolutely constitutional and cor
mot, and as a gentleman, to be blandly
courteous and solidly retimtlible.
His front face is opqn end dignified,
and his profile, kith its convex 'aquiline
nose and smooth shaved ample double
chin, is decidedly patrician. For a man
who has seemsomuch, of political 'life,
Mr. Fillmore is remarkably- Modest.
When introduced by Governor Steven.:

Paradise," said Lady WOrtley •31mita

find a little rivulet of Lethe at every
stage of her heart's career. • If• she re
members her past career it is to
offer it up as a burnt sacrifice to the de

talked about Caesar to
. Mark Antony,
, she passed, no doubt her fingers through
her lover's hair, and wondered !-liOw she
could have ever poted on such a bald pa

have wondered equally at her infatua

Ailo so it ism wonder - that — d — wonian'w

goes down in the general wreck of the
past. But imman's life it is a revel&

The world of. boyhood is - striea
world of boys. Sisters, , aunts, 'cousinS;
mothers, are mixed. up in the general
crowd of barbarians that.stand,.without
the playground. There are few, warinor
or more poetic affections than the chival
rous friendship of schoolfelloivS ; there is
no more truer or more genuine Worship
than a boy's worship of the horo of the
scrimmage or the cricket field. It is a

narrow and restricted world. Not a girl
may peep over the palings. (ibis can't
jump, or fag out, or swarm up a .tree
they have nothing to talk about as boys
talk ; they never heard of that glorious
swipe : ,of Old Brown's; they are awful
milk sops ; they cry and tell mammar
they are'afraid - of - x - goyerness and of- a
cow.• It is impossible to, conceive
creature more utterly contemptiblein a
boy's eyes than a girl of hts,97mage
usually is. Then in some fatal-Moment
comes the revolution.• The barrier of
contempt goes down with a crash.. The
boy world disappears. Brbwn, the god
of the playground, is cast to the owlsand
tothe.bats. There- is a.sudden coolness
in the friendship that was to last from
the school to the grave. Paper chases
the annual match with the "old fel
low" cease to be the highest object or

The boy's life has become muddled and
confused.. Thd old existence is sheerieg'
off, and the new
sort
shyly, 'fitfully.
It is only by a sort of comparison that he,
will own that he is making all this 'fuss'
about a girl. For the moment he rebels.
against the spell of thel v one little face,

blushes, and a boy's blegli‘ is a hot, pain

together, and he hehrs them whispering
what a fool he is. Yes, lie is a fool, that
is one thing which he feels quite certain

which he feels even more certain about— ,
that he is in love, and that-love has made

A HOUSE OF WQRSI77I'.
The New York Her ,i 47 contains 'a very
full description-of-thenew" Jewish-house
of worship, built on the corner.of Fifth
avenue and Forty-third street, New York,
known as the "Temple Emanii - elt" It
blends _in unconscieMs harmony six differ
ent orders of architecture—Bar:iconic,
Byzantine, Moresque, Arabesque, Gothic,
and Norman.. The interior decorations
are finer and more costly than any Chris
tian church in the land. .The Herald
closes its artile/with the following : In
ten pews from the pulpitsit every Sun
day ten millionaires, and from that point
back an aggregate of millions more is
represented. Did there ever thus sit to
gether, 'since the days 'that the fair Ad.
regal ruler of Slieba was escorted by the
gorgeous retinue of the court olSolomon
to the temple of that - monarch's ambi
tion, such a galaxy wordly 'wealth,
and it might be ventured; such a galni3
of beauty and rellnenient ? Tlip roof of
the" temple is flat and cut into squares by
the transverse arches. A good deal of
- elaborate polychrome painting fills in the
spaces. best Gir)

the .full radituMe of the many blazing
'candelcbra. ". The figures are brought out
in happier. relief and_ show with a lustre
denied them by daylight., Altogether
the'icmple of -Emanuel-is a- feature in
itself, and has no parallel. , Its exterior
is amexperiment iu architecture often
times before attenipted, but only in this
instance realized 'as a Success. Its in
terior decoration, without being quite so
'greate, novelty, -has so many points of
originality that it fairly divides the palin
of interest with the architectural design.
It may be'addcd, in conclusion, that the
first pew sold realized the enormous sun!
of $9,500. .
