DE'JINI) THE SCENES.
'IYur o'clock an 1 no ' E.len yet !
What can detain her so slid" that is
usually more punctual than the clock
It was scnt'ci'ly a room in w hfeh Laura
Avery was silting rather a inagiiilicunt
bay window willi draperies oi embroider
id lace.
Poor. Ellen,' she murmured, 'lmw
l'.fi'orelilly our lots have been ordered in

Laura MgluTl again ju-t ns the clock's

puzzled little damsel allele's something
the matter ! Pur hap she is iek oh,
yes. she inu-t be sick. I'U send J. lines

Ueforo thu sentence was out of her
lip- she was up in her own room adjus
ting n sott gray shawl ov3f lier black
silk dresi, nnd tying tlje strings ot a
quiet little brown velvet bonnet, whose
one crim-ion rose among its triinming-i
of emerald nuts was not unlike the bloom
ot her own ehi ek
I don't think its' going to snow,; she
pofdercd. looking outul the gray .threat
ening ky, as she drew on her peitecily
lining gloves. 'At any rate, I shall
walk very la.it.'
As she cauiii through tlie softlj'-c ir
peted vcHtibu'e ' servant approached
her. .
'A note, Miss Lwa. It , c:nne five
minutes no.'
Ah I the rose was several shades in
the back ground now, as Laura Avery
broke open thu scented seal, anJ glano
ed over the delieat,cioain-(iolwfed sheet,
with a bnglit, lia'.f suppressed smile
dimpling the corners of her mouth- Yet
the note was a very simple one, after all.
My dear Miss Avery: May I promise
myself the plciinnu of accompanying
y'ou lo bear the now opera to night t
Unless I receive a message to forbid mi',
I will call f'-r you t half past noven.

For poor Ellen Wayrni; was nothing
more important than ' a hard working
and poorly paid diesiiiukur
She lay on the little white bed in the
corner, will) her tlu.hed ch;ek pi esed
Lagaiust the pillow, and ber slender figure
parti. lily concealed by a coarse planted
scarlet shawl, while the occasion il in-voK
itn'ary contraction ot her forehead bore
witness to tho pain she was meekly suf
'fcl'ing. j
A- one or two quiol (ears escaped
from hi.'i' ilosed ejelids and crept, softly
down her cheek, a light step som.dcd on
the lauding oiiuide, and a knock came
gently to tlie parcls of the door.
Come in,' f-iv.'. Ellen, hurriedly d:ish
ing away the tears. 'L mra, is it possi
'bin that this is you, dear?'
'Yes' it is myself, and none other.
Nell. I could not imagine why you did
not come anil til that dres, us you had
appointed i but I know the reason now
Nelly, you nre sick. Wl.y did you not
send for me V
Nelly tried to smile faintly. -
I m not. very sick, L iura t at lusst I
have not sufl'-red much pain until to
night, nnd the doctor says that it I only
had a little wine no, Liura, do not
draw your purse,' sho a ids, with, a
slightly perceptible sparkle in her eyes,
and a proud quiver on her lips. 'I am
not yet quite so low as lo accept charity
Don't loik so hurt and grieved, dearest
You know how sensitive I cannot help
being on some points. It is only tor a
little while. When I am well enough
to take that dress holne and receive the
money for it, I shall be enabled lo pur
chase whatever I may require.'
Laura Avery knell'down at her fiienJ's
benside. with soft, pleading eyes.
'Dear Ellen, you surely will not refuse
to accept a temporary loaii'from me.'
Ellen shook her head with i grave
smile.
I can wait, Laura '
Launi looked from the dross to Ellen
with n face of pained perplexity. Su 1
denly a brigh inspiration seemed to
irtriko her. ,
Ltt me take the dress home, Ellen I'
she exclaimed. The walk will be just
what I need, and I can stop at Duboiir's
on my way buck nnd order the wiuofor
yon. You will let me, Nell ?'
Ellen hesitated a moment.
'Hul. Laura ''
No bins in tho matter, if you plo ise,
Nell,' huglicd Laura, gleefully begin
mug to fold the rich dress into the little
bisket that stood upon tho table beside
it. 'Where is it to go V
'To Mrs. Kichley's, in Uiver street.
Why. "Laura, what is tho matter V
'Nothing, only I am folding this dress
wrong,' rM timed Laura, in a low v'oieo
It was well that E.len did not see the
s::ai lei Hush that toco lo. her friend's
lovely cheek, ns .she stood with her back
to the bed, siuoolliing the lustrous
breadths ot pine silk. Mrs liiehey's!
Laura was almost sorry that she had
volunteered to go, bttl-it was too late to
refract, her offer now.
'What n selfish little creature 1 am,'
she mused, -
Poor Nelly needs the money so much,
and cannot go for it heiselt, and it isn't
nt all likely that I shall see Floriun. I
will go there is an end ot it.'
'Thank you. dear Laura: it is so kind
of you, said Ellen, fervently, ns Miss
Avery came to the bedside wiih the
backet on her arm, nnd a blue veil drawn
closely over the brown velvet bonne'.
'She owes me three dollars for this dress
and there are sever, dollars on rhe no
count which slut hris never yet paid me,'
'Ten dollars ! I'll collect it, never

'Whore is Miss Way nail !'
She is ill.'
'Very well, lay down the dressj it is

Dot Laura stood her ground valiantly.
'Miss Way nail would liku tlie monVy

'Unl, M s Kiehley, Miss Wandall is

S IEKP PEDDLERS.
The liones't and unsuspecting farmers
ot the Western and Southern Stales,
should beware of sheep peddlers, who
t averse the country, and swindle every
bjdy who deals willi them.- Too many
of our hard working farmers are swiu
d.ed.out ot hundreds ot dollars annually,
b these traveling gentry, The farmer
should understand some ot the t rands
practised by these peddlers, in order to
detect them before it is too late. In the
first place, they are always sure to have
uoy p il'tluular breed Mini id wai.tud. mij
cm always produce certificates to that
c fleet. As Vermont is celebrated for
its tine and valuable sheep, most tt these
peddlers emanate from there ; though we
regret to say it, not u few hail from this
State They buy Mieir sheep from Ver
mont or New Hampshire, so they can, it
needs be, swear to the fact that thoy
came from that section of the country,
and away they start for the West or
South, with their genuine flocks of Ver
mont sheep 1 Hetoro they start with
them, however, they first paint and fix
them, up for tho maiket. Notico the
great and wonderful change 1 Uams
which they bought tor 10 or less, un

THE MARYLAND7 DIFFICULTY.
Tho8. Swann, the Governor of Mary.
land, neither intimidated nor instructed
by the fatal failure of Andrew Johnson'i
attempt to provoked civil war' in tho
North, is believed to bo preparing to
precipitate a violent revolution in that
State. The Police Commissioners of tho
City of Baltimore, appointed by the Leg
islature, having served faithfully and
loyally during all the rebellion, have fall
en under the displeasure ot the traitor
sympathisers, because they refuse to ap
point judges of tho election men - who
will lake the votes of rebels registered in
defiance i f the Constitution and Laws of
tho Suite. He is therefore appealed to
remove these Commissioners anS appoint j
others in their stind, who have already I
been desig tiled as the tit agents of trea
son. Having deserted t' e people who
elected - him, ho is doubtless ready to
punish nnd proscribe them by elevating
and strengthening thu rebels Should
he decide upon this .outrage, the Police
Commissioners, backed by Mayor Chap
man and the radical loyalists erf the State,
will refuse -to suremlcr the trust. At
this juncture the rebels claim to have
the promise of Andrew Johnson to em
ploy force to put doWu the Union men
and give the State to the traitors. We
do not 'believe that either Swann or
Johnson will havo the hardihood to per
fect this crowning outrage, though tho
indications that point to it are numerous.
But should this belief bo disappointed
by tire result, there will be but ono rem
edy ' letl, and that is for the Maryland
patriots to appeal to the people ot the
North to keep open the gateway to tho j
capital of the Republic They respond
ed to a similar call in 1861 , and will not
be back w aid in 18GG. The feeling in
Baltimore is intense. . The Radicals
were firm, quiet, and wholly resolved.
Tney havo posession of the field anil in
intend to keep - it at all hazards. They
will never yield it to rebels and'lraitors.
Tho plotsof these latter tiro hardly
concealed, and their exultation proves
that the revolutionary policy is carefully
cherished, and only requircsa fitting ops
portunity to bo announced and perfect
ed. HOW TO REGAIN SOUTHERN PROS
PERITY. Hon. John Forsyth, ot the Mobile
Kvgister, has been traveling through
Southern Pennsylvania, and,- writing
about that section, takes occasion to
say :
"The wealth of this country oannot
bo justly measured by its population
Tim improvements in miohinery, espe
cially as applied to agriculture, almost
dispense with human hands ami tlie
sweat of ihe brow. They plow, sow and
reap with machines, and man s only oc
cupation is to superintend them Hence,
you ride over a country dotted with
farms, in a high state ot culture ail
groaning under crops, nnd nro surprised
at tho lack of laborers, and wonder who
does all this work. Capital and science
have supplied the. places ot our large
gangs ot r.egroes, and tho work goes on
as it by magic. Thus Ponnslvania
with her three millions of population,
enjoys productions equal to the labor of
six millions. TJie sa ne processes would
make the South a garden of fruitf illness,
the abode of a groat population, and tho
suat oi powsr.
"Let us take lessons from our neigh
borsj and find compensation for the sud
den destruction of our vast labor sys.
tern. We have all that Pennsylvania
has, in coal, iron and water power, with
out her harsh winter c.iinnlo. We havo
products impossible to her soil. The
war has hewn a pathway for Southern
energies in a now direction. Let us fol.
low it, encourage men of labor and men
of skill to setllo among us, capital to
export our latent resources, and train
and elevate the negro to. be able to do
his pnrt of the iji and work of dosing
the gap. in the material civilization,
