FOR FATHER'S HONOR. "So much. gone ! 1 might have known how it would bet" said Mr. Ster ling, looking up from a morning paper, with a most unpleasant expression on his face. "What has gone?" asked the wife. "My money is gone," answered Mr. Sterling. ' ". That money I was foolish enough to lend Mr. Granger." "Why do you say that?" "He's dTd," replied Mr. Sterling, coldly.' " bead !" The wife's voice was full of surprise and pain. Sorrow overshad owed her face. " Yes, gs,me, and my money with him. Here's flake of his death. I was sure when I saw him go away that he'd nev er come back except in his coffin. Why will doctors send their patients away from home to die !" " Poor Mrs. Granger! Poor little or phans," sighed Mrs. Sterling. " What will they do?" " As well without hitik as with him," was the unfe6ling answer of her hus band, who was only thinking of the ti3ree hundred dollars he 4ad been per suaded to loan the sick clergyman, in_ order that he might go South during the " He's been mama of a burden 40-,,,a, 0 ---. .- - -- • - ' , smut' 0., use twe.,-,,,..e 0 .. • , <m. llici.ry oy ! - 11.

"Kindness is cheap and is easily dish pehsed," coldly replied Mr. Sterling.— He would have been of more use to his family if he had fed and clothed them better ( I reckon they can do without him. If I had three hundred dollars, I wou Id It' t—" - - But he checked for shame—not for any better feelings—the almost brutal wora his heart sent up to his tongue. It Not many h mdred yards away from Mr. Sterling's handsome residence stood a small, plain cottage, with a garden in front neatly . , id :out in box-boarded walks andrAll ed ." with-' shrubbery. A lioney-Suckle, twined with a running rose bush, covered thelatticed portico, and looked in at the chamber windows givibg binuty and sweetness. The hand of 'taste was seen every where—not lavish, but discriminate taste. Two years before there wa . s not a happier home than this in all the pleasnat town of C . Now the shadow sif,dpath was upon it. ,„ _ Poor Mre.-Granger Poor little or-' pilaus ! Well' might Mrs. Stelling pity thorn. While her mercenary -husband was sighing over the-loss of three hun dred dollars, the young widow lay senseless witli her twos little children weeping over hei'-in childish terror.— The news of death foundher unprepar ed. Only a week before she had receiv ed a letter from Mr. Granger,Th which he talked hopefully of his recovery.— "I am stronger," he said: " I have gained five pounds_in flesh since I left home." , Three days after, writing this letter there came a sudden change of temperature; he took cold, which was followed by congestion of the lungs; and no medical skill was sufficient for the case. body was not sent home for interment. When the husbandand father wept away two or,Ahree mciiiths before, his loved ones looked upon his face for the lastlime in this world. Love and honor make the heartstrong. Mrs. Granger was a gentle, trusting wo man. 'She had leaned upon her hus band very heavily ; she had clung to him as a vine. Those who knew her best felt most anxious about her. I . l the cannot stand alone." But they were mistaken. As we have just said, love and honor make • the heart strong. Only' a week after Mr. Sterling had read of the young• minist er's death, he received a note from the widow. " My husband," she said, " was enab led—to go' South in hopes of regaining his health, through your kindness. If he had lived, the money .you loaned him would have been faithfully return ed, for he was a man of honor. Dying he left.that honor in my keeping, - and will see that the debt •is paid. But you will have to be a little patient with me.." " All very tine," muttered Mr. Sterl ing,, with a slight curling lip, " I've heard of such things before. They sound well. People will say of Mrs. Granger, !what a noble woman ! what a fine sense of honor she , has!' but I shall never see the three hundred dol lars I was foolish enough to lend her husband:" Very much to. Mr. Sterling's surprise, and not a little to his pleasure, 11]is covered about three months afterwards that he was mistaken in his estimate of Mrs. Granger. The pale, sad, fragile little woman brought him the sum of twenty-five dollars. He did not see the tears in her eyes as he displayed her husband's note, with his dear familiar writing, and made thereon,•with con siderable fdrmality, an endorsement of the sum paid. She would have given many dropAlof her heart's blood to have been able to clutch the document from Mr. Sterling's hands. it seemed like a bleVon the dear lost one's memory. kale Granger is the !itieerest little said Flora Temple to her mother on the evening of the very day the first'payment was made. Mr. Sterling heard the remark, and letting his . eyes drop from the newspaper he was reading turned his ears to listen. "I think her a'Very niee little girl " re lied l the mother.. ' • So she is nice," returned the child " but' then she 113 so queer. Oh, she isn't like the rooAt of the girls. She said the - oddest thing to-day. • I almost laughed• out • but 'l'm glad"! didn't.— Three of us, katie, Lillio -Bonfield and I were walking round the square at 4-, cess , time, when uncle Hiram cande: along, and taking' out three bright tem cent pieces, he said ;, here's adime for each of you to buy sugar plums.' Lillie, and I screamed out, and started away, for the candy-shop In an instant; but' Katie stood still with her share of the money in her hand. Come along!' I cried. She didn't, move but, looked strange and Serious. Aren't you going to buy - some candy with it?' I asked,- Mien she shook her head gravely and 'put the limo in her pocket, saying (I don't think she meant me to hear her words)—' It's father's honor ;' and leav ing,us, went back to' tie sqhoolroom.— What did - she mean by that, mother? .• Oh, she is so queer I" • " Her mother is very-poor; you know," replied - Mrs. Stsrling, raying up Katie's remark to be pondered over. " She-;must be strange," said Flora, " for she's Worn the same freckle Sehool for 'most three months," , Mr. Sterling, who did not let's single -word of this conversation escape him, *as far from feeling as comfortable lin:. der:the prospect of getting back the money he had loaned Mr. Granger, as he had felt an hour before. He under stood the meaning of Katie's remark, t: It's for father's honor •" • the truth flashed at once through his mind. There was another period of three months, and 'then Mrs. Granger called again on Mr. Sterling, and gave him twenty-five dollars more. The pale, thin !face made / stronger impression upon him. It troubled him to lift the money in her small lingers, in which the blue veins shone through the trans parent skin) as she counted Wont. Ho wished that she had sent the money in stead of calling. It was on his lips to remark, "Do not trouble or pinch your self to pay faster than is convenient, Mrs. Granger," but cupidity whispered that she might take advantage of his kindness so he kept silent "No, dear, it's for father's honor, I cannot spend the money:" - Mr. Sterling was pas;ing a fruit shop, where two children were looking in at the window, when this sentence struck upon his ears. "An apple won't cost but a penny, Katie; and I want one so badly" an swered t,hayounger of the two children, a little girl not five years of age, "Come away, Maggie," said the oth er, drawing her sister back from the window. " Don't look at them any more—don'i, think about them." "But I can't help thinking about them, Katie," pleaded the child. It was more than Mr. Sterling could stand.. Every want of his own chit-. then was supplied. Ile bought fruit by the barrel. And here was a little child pleading for an apple which cost only a cent; but the apple was denied because the penny must be saved to make good the dead father's honor. WhO held the honor in pIeAtALLAVW4QPIi.Iib&-fIU • ,4tic. • Children and added them tii Yns already burning cotters? A feel ing of shame burst upon the check of Mr. Sterling. '" Here little ones !" ho called, as the two children went slowly away from the fruit, shop window. He was touched with the sober look on their sweet young faces as they turned at his invi tation. ".tome," repealed Mr Sterling, spchking very kindly. The children then followed him into s tile shop, and he filled their aprons with apples and oranges. ,Their thankful eyes and happy faces were in his mem-. ory all day. This was his reward, and it was sweet. Three months more, and again Mr. Sterling had a visit from the pale young Widow. This time She had only twenty dollars. It was all she had been able to save, she said ; but she made no excuse, and uttered no complaint. Mr. Sterling took the money and counted it over in a liesitating way. The touch thereof was pleasant to his fingers, for he loved the money, But the vision of Sober child faces was before his eyes, and the sound of pleading child voices in his cars. iP Through over-taxing toil, and the de of herself and little ones, the pock widow had gathered this small sum, and was now paying• it into his hands— to make good the honorable contract of her dead husband. He hesitated, ruf fling in a half absent Way the edges of the little pile of bills that lay under his fingers. One thing was clear to him ; he would never take Anything more from the widow. The balance Of the debt must be forgiven. People would get to un derstand the widow's case, they would hear of self-denial and that of her chil dren in order to pay the husband's and .father's debt, in order to keep pure his honor; and they would ask naturally who was the exacting 'creditor? , This thought affected him Unpleasantly. Slowly, as one in whose mind debate still went n, Mr. Sterling took from his desk a large pocket-book, and se lected from one of the compartments a note on which Mrs. Granger bad now made three payments. For some mo ments he held it in his hands looking at the face thereof.. He saw written in clear figures the sum of $300.. Seventy of this had been paid. If he gave, up or destroyed the slip of paper lie would lose two hundred and thirty dollars.— It was something of to trial for one who loved money so well to comenp-square ly to this issue. Something fell in be tween his eyes and the note of hand.— He did not see the writing and figures ,of the obligation, but . a sad, pleading little face, and with the vision of this face came to his ears the sentence : " No, dear, it's for your father's honor." The debate in Mr. Sterling's mind was over. Taking up a pen he wrote across the face of Mr. Granger's note the word "cancelled,' and handed it to the widow. " What does this mean ?" she asked, looking bewildered. " It means," said Mr. Sterling, " that I hold no obligation against your hus band." Some moments went by ere Mrs. Granger's thoughts became clear enough to comprehend it all. Then she repli ed,.as she reached back the note: • "I thank you for your generous kind ness, but he left his honor in my keep ing, and I must maint a in it spotless." That you have alre dy done," ans wered Mr. Sterling, s eaking through emotions that were nw to hiin "It's as white as snow." Then lie thrust bacl upon her the twenty dollars she had just paid him. " No, Mr. Sterling," the widow said. "It shall be as I will was 'the res ponse. "1 would'rather touch fire than your money ; every dollar would huhi my conscience like 'Wing coals." " But the last payment," urged the widow, " I shall feel better." - . "No madam! Would you throw fire upon my conscience? Your husband's honor never had a stain. All Men luibw him to be pure and upright.— When 0011 took him, He assumed his earthly debts, and did not leave upon ,a,~r ... - ;. ' you the heavy burden of theirpayment. But he left you - anothet and - - - most sa cred obligation which you have, over looked in part." " What ?" asked the widow, in au al most startled voice', "ro minister to the: wants of your children ;. whom you have pinched and denied in their' tender years—giving their meat to cancel an obligation which 'death paid. And you have made me a party in the wrong to them. Ah, Mad am !" Mr. Sterling's. voiceoftened, "If we could all see the right at the right time, and do right at the right time, how much of wrong and sutler ing.might-be saved I I honor your true hearted self-devotion, but I shall be no party to its continuance. As it is, lam your debtor in the sum of fifty • dollars, and will repay it An - my way any time." Under Providence, this circumstance was the Means of breaking the hard crust of selfishness and cupidity which hail formed around his heart. He was not only generous to the widow In after years, but a doer of many deedsofkind ness and humanity to which lie had been in other times a stranger. [For the Agitator.] 1 - 1 child shall lead ,them:" BY OLLIE It waS'atthe close of a cold cloudy day in November, that a man riding a coal black horse, might . have been seen approaching the little village of Arnot. He was closely muffled, and all you could see of his face was a pair of keen grey eyes, which glanced quickly around him, as his noble steed galloped on. He had nearly reached the village when his horse began to be very lame, and grew worse so rapidly that when he reachedthe village he was obliged to6n.stop, stop, in lead of hurrying 6n. as he had intend to do. Riding to the door of a little ii i ' 1 1 he dismounted, and when he bad see his horse properly attended to, he seated himself in a corner, bowed his heal upon his hands, and ;appeared to be thinking. I And now while he is sitting there, let me tell you who he. is , _ and why lie is so anxious to keep on his journey. His name is Roger Ellis, and he is the lead er of a band of wild; reckless felloWs who obtain the means of subsistence, by robbing unarmed and unwary travr elers. - He is on his way to meet this band of highwaymen, as he has been informed of a new opportunity of inereaSing their ill-gotten wealth, by robbing an old gen tleman and his daughter, who will pass near their "'rendezvous, with quite a quantity of jewels. And now the lamenesS of his horse will hinder him from ptpeeeding on his journey till morning probably, for the noble animal is a favorite of his master, and he will not leave him. Supper was at last prepared, and after partaking of of it, the robber chief re tired to his room. tie had hardly closed the door, when he head a sweet child ish voice, which seemed to proceed from an adjoining room, say, "Mamma, when I've said 'Our Father' will you sing to me ' Jesus loves a little child?' " Yes my darling, answered the mother. Then that sweet, trusting little voice 31414. litikayLtetaiin eLibab mfromn'isoutetx have been repeated by millions of little children sine our blessed Saviour first taught it to his followers. The robber listened. It had been long since he had heard such holy sounds; long since• he had heard the Savour's name,_except in wicked jests or dread-: fel oaths. But instead of the holy sounds of prayer, and praise to God, he had hehrd the ribald song and. unseem ly jest, and profanity in its worst forms. Still he has not always been so vile and wicked, and as he stands listening to the prayer of that little child, niemory brings into his mind the time when hc, too, was a little sinless child, and' when he had lisped that same prayer. • And as that little clfild's voice sounded in his ears, he thought of the time . / when lie had knelt at'his mother's knee, and innocent lips had said his little prayer. Now that gentle mother was in It ea‘'en, and her little Roger, grown to boa man, had forgotten his mother's counsels and prayer, had long been a stranger to his lips. In the company of wicked men, he had learned to mock :it every thing good and 'pure, and there was scarcely any path of vice and wickedness which his feet had not trod. But when the gen tle tones of the little child fell upon his ear, and those recollections came throng ing in upon him, this robber • chief, whose deeds have been such that a price has beemottered for his head, and who has defied both God and IMIll„ bowed hi $ head upon his hands and wept. • tle pent the night in a sorrowful re vi w of his past life, and resolved to do be ter in the future. He' rose in the in ruing and hastened on his way as se 11 bled his band, and after telling thmi of his sorrow for his past doings, and resolves for the future, he dismissed them,, advising them to leave their wicked ways, and with him begin to to lead a new life. He abandoned all evil ways and companions, became a christian, and elver after lived a pure life. ClOdius being prosecuted by Ctesar for impiety, summoned Cicero as a wit -ness. Clodius attempted an alibi, but Cicero maintained otherwise. Th e jury, however, composed of fifty-seven, acquitted Clodius. Whereupon, one day in the Senate, Cicero and Clodius being in altercation, Clodius upbraided him,- and said : "The jury gave you no credit." Cicero answered : "Five and twenty, gave me credit; but there were two and, thirty who gave you no credit, for they . had their money before hand." Clodius was-acquitted by a cor rupt jury, that had probably taken shares of money. Before they gave in their :.verdict, they demanded of the Senate a guard, as Clodius was a very seditious young nobleman.

A short review of the principal occurrences, since the last State cam paign is now considered proper. The contest of 1866 stis fought, in the main, upon the amendments proposed by Con gress to the ConStitution Of the United State.. These were national issues- ; and on the one side were arrayed the Union 1 Republican party as the "Boys in Illue ;" anti on the other President Johnson, the Democratic party, and all the rebels and their sympathizers from one end of the Union to the other. Oit those mo mentous issues Pennsylvania rallied in her strength ; and polled over one hun dred ands orty thousand more votes than at her preceding annual election. Among the results, were the triumphant election of Major General JOHN W. GEARY for Governor and the endorse ment of Congress, by the return of a delegation more unanimous for theright than ever known before in the history of the Commonwealth. Other loyal States united with us, and the insane and wicked "Policy" ofPresident John son, and of his new friends and allies, was overwhelmedhy the unprecedented and magnificent popular majority of four hundricd thousand votes ! Every State which had been faithful to the national government 'and the cause of the Union during the war, approved the proposed amendments. Every rebel State, except Tennessee, rejected them; and under the rebel provisional govern ments created by President Johnson, rebel power resumed its authority, and became dominated in their executive, legislative, and judicial departMents. Vagrant and labor laws virtually re-en slaved the freedmen. Loyal men were outlawed and trampled, under foot; and the revived spirit of the rebellion was everywhere triumphant. Riots, mur ders,' outrages, and assassinations, were the order of the day, and security for either the lives or the. property of loyal men was nowhere found. Treason had front'seats, loyalty had been made odi ous, and traitorous conspirators against ,the life of the nation were vindictiVe and rampant. Such was the condition of public -af fairs in the South when Congress con vened in December, 1866. This nation had solemnly resolved, mid voted, that the Union should be -restored on the basis of,l4alty and justice ; and to this end was the Fortieth C(lngress elected. Hence were passed ,ho Reconstruction laws, , iii execution of the recent popular verdict,. The President vetoed them,. refusing to accept or abide by the de cision of the people, to whom he had so often and so vauntingly appealed. Con gress re-enacted them over the vetoes, by more than the required two-thirds; and they are now the laws of the land. Under them, including the amendments of last session, reconstruction is rapidly progressing; and would doubtless est!, ter 1116 persistent obstructions by the President,',ln disfiance of Congress and ,the populat' will. Justice is being done; loyal men, white and black, have been protected from the - malice of defeated rebels ; treason, in a measure at least. has "been made odious," and traitors have been comae red "to take hack. seats"—as Andrew Jeluison, in a lucid intervfd, declared they should. Even the better portion of the rebels admit the justice of these reconstruction laws, and cheerfully acquiesce in their pro -visions. Oeneral JAMES . LoNOSTIIE . P . r, a distinguished rebel officer, in a recent published letter fulfil New Orleans, ex presses himself as follows: "I shall set out by assuming a pro position that I hold to be self-evident., viz : The highest of human laws is the law that is established by appeal toarins. The great principles that divided politi cal parties prior to the war w 'e thor oughly discussed by our wise t Mates men. When argument was xhausted resort WILS ' had to comproin • !. When eempromise was unavailing,' . scussion was renewed ai n l expediet . were sought, but none could be four ,0 suit the emergency. Appeal.. was finally made to the sword, to determine which 01,411 e claims was the true construction orconstitutional law. The sword has decided in favor of the North ; and what they claimed as prineiples,, cease to be principles, and are become law. The v i ew a that we hold (Vase to ire principles because they are! opposed to law. it is, therefore, our dull to abandon ideas that are 'obsolete; and cottform to the requirements cif !aut. The ,military bill and amendments are peace offerings. We should accept them as such, and place ourselves upon them as thestarting point from which to meet future political issues as they arise." . • JEFF THOMPSON, another rebel Oen eral, in a late letter to George D. Pren tice, Esq., endorses the reconstruction laws of Congress thus : 'The confederate government wiped out States rights the first year of its ex istence, a bloody war wiped outslavery, and wiped out the confederacy, so {they are obsolete ideas; _ and the plain ques tion now presented is, 'Will you accept citizenship under our terms, as contain ed in this law?' and 1 emphatically answer, yes I" It is greatly to be- regretted that terms which are so acceptable to the fighting rebels of the South, should be so dis tasteful, and cause so much clamor, from their non-combatant sympathizers- in the North, The enemies of the United States hav ing been finally defeated in battle, uni ted their °Milts to elect sympathizers from the North, and to procure the ad mission of enough rebels from:the South, to enable them, through Congress, to at tain what they had lost in the field. This programme was frustated by the loyal people at the .ballot box, in the. election of the Fortieth Congress. De feated in' open war, and again in Con gress, these bathed conspirators, us a last resort, are endeavoring to save "the lost cause" through the courts. They deny that anything has been settled by the war ; and boldly proclaim that "all these grave pending questionS" must, be decided, "just in fact, as they would ha ve been decided had they arisen eight Years• ago,'" o r had no war taken pace." (Phil adelphia Age, July Bth.) They not only deny the constitutional power of Con gress to impose' terms upon the r, eel States or people, but deny thitteongress itself is a lawful body, bccaue the relict States are unrepresented. 1- enee, the recent application to the Sup vmeCourt li t. of the United '-,-,ltaltes for injunctions . , to millily the Reconstructionlaws of Con gress in Alississiupi, (4eorgia, and other rebel, States. 1 ii the sa:ine i u forest, awl lII' (lie same character, iv the nomination of (;1.:0E(;F: SHARt4WOOO, A well knoWn and life long State rights nqui, for the Suprfline Court of Peon:lo,m , ila.
