A GOOD STORY.
My father was a country lawyer of a con
siderable eminence. Ills family was good,
but not wealthy. In early life lie married
one of the co-he iresses of a city banker, and
by ante nuptial agreement her property was
strictly secured to any heirs she might have.
She died while 1 her only child, was yet an
infant, and her wealth become mine, held by
my father in trust for my use until I should
reach the age at which it would come into
my possession.
I was left to the care of servants, princi
pally, for my father, though very fond of me
was always immersed i n business, and spent
hut little time in the splendid but comfort
less home over which no mistress presided.
I j'could not remain tlins. My nnnt St,
Clair returned from Europe when I was
about fourteen. She came with her family
to Yerdhill by my father's invitation, to re
main until her house in town could be put
in order for her reception. She saw and was
astonished at uiy wild appearance and hoy
endi-h manners. She quickly decided that
her sister's child, and a great heiress, must
n>' be allowed to remain thus, and it was
arranged that I should accompany her to the
city ell ter at once upon t lie course of intruc
tion sn necessary and s long neglected.
At the age of sixteen summers my aunt
had succeeded in having m 3 " finished" ac
cording to the fashionable patient. I was
beautiful, willful, utterly selfish, and a de
votee of the art ol thrting. So accomplished
I went to mj r old home, and my agel father,
who welcomed me with pride and fondness.
A gay party went with me whom I was to
make the round <>f the watering place with
after a short visit to mv father.
The Sabbath before we were to start, we
al! went to the old village church. 1 shall
never-forget that day. As we all sat silent
there was a slight rustling of leaves, and the
imperceptible stir that announces a new
Corner, and I turned to see that the clergy
man had entered noiselessly. He was kneel
ing at his desk, his face buried in the snowy
handkerchief he bore in his hand, hut when
after a moment lie rose, I saw a pale intol
ectual face a g r and head covered by light,
waving hair of golden brown, a tall figure
finely proportioned, but a little too slight
'or the indications of robust health. I was
attracted and interested at first, hut when
he commenced to read, the deep melodious
it flections of his voice comoleted the charm.
1 listened entranced.
From that imtant I aw nothing, felt noth
ing hut his presence, and when the service
and the sermon were ended and he sank
down in the last, silent prayer, it was as if
tiie sun had been withdrawn from my world
and I left in darkness.
Mechanically I followed my friends into
the porch- A sudden shower was gathering
—the air was chill, the bird songs were
Lushed, and all nature wore the gray hut
so omnious of her coming convulsion*. I
had been unconscious of the change, hut the
chill wind had been blowing upon me from
an open window, as I sit in church, and now
I shuddered. ?.§ taking my father's arm I
hurried homeward. Before we reached
the ho-.3 tr j storm broke and all but the
swiftest pedestrians, were thoroughly drench
ed. Ere nighlfell a burning fever alternated
with icy chills in my frame and the effect of
draft anil drenching declared themselves.
Mr. Fletcher had been invited by my fa
ther to dine with us, but had excused lorn
self with the simple remark that his duties
absorbed the entire sabbath day. But during
the week, and after our friends had left us
he called. I saw him in the little uioruing
room where I .rested upon a couch
and he dined with my father. This
visit was followed by many others, until at
last he dined with us nearly every day and
spent most evenings in listening to my (>er
formauce upon the pinano-forte, or in con
versation with me.
I saw the effects of my charm. 1 knew
that I was beautiful,and the world declared
me brilliant. And 1 brought every art that
I had learned, to lure thi6 silent, grave youth
to my feet. It was a triumph to bend his
glorious intellect to a girls will, and I liked
him, too, mote and more as time—that love
ly summer lime wore on. But lam sure no
thought of the fufure or of the consequences
of my acts ever intruded upon me. I had
bien taught to look upon life as a game, and
forgot that all player-, were not skhlful like
myself.
And yet I suffered, too, for 1 was not des
titute of sympathy, and my heart not wholly
untouched, either by profound devotion of
this silent grave mad—with all his learning
and mental discipline powerless to his decla
ration of love, and spoke the words that sep
arated us forever.
I went up to rny room half angry with
myself, listening to some smothered re
pro&ches of my conscience, yet repeating that
1, heiress and beauty, wub the honors of
bellehooi not yet fallen into tradition, could
not marry a poor country clergyman, whose
whole estate was his hands and surplice and
thepittance these villagers paid him for those
wonderful sermons and all his heavy pasto
ral labors.
And yet I had been struck and pained
with the palor that overspread that noble
face as it bent toward me in farewell.
"TO SPEAK HIS THOUGHTS IS EVERY FREEMAN'S RIGHT. "—Thomas Jefferson. v
TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22 1864.
Something told me that I had been hard and
cold with hiin, even while mv own heart
pleaded with him. But I stifled the silent
monitor, and ordered my maid to prepare for
the journey I was about to take to join my
friends at Newport.
The morning I left home my father men
tioned,casually,that he hr.d heard Mr. Fletch
er was very ill. I felt myself grow pale and
cold, but I stifled my emotions, and in a con
strained voice expressed my regret at these
tidings and begged my father to provide the
invalid with every heeded luxury from Yerd
hill, and to iuform me in his letters of his
state.
******
Two years later I was in Italy with my
husband—the husband of inv Aunt St. Clairs
choice. I had made a grand match, hut 1
was not happy. Diamonds bound my aching
brow,and flashed above a throbbing heart.
I was cold and unloving to my husband, and
he returned my indifference with scorn. A
few months had brought us to this pass
that he lived out of doors amidst pleasures
in which 1 had 110 share and which 1 shrunk
from even guessing at, and I was alone in so
ciety. a mark in uiy beauty for continental
gossip.
One night I saw my husband making his
way toward me through a crowded saloon,
I pressed forward for I telt the need of his
protection frmn advances that were insults,
though perhaps not intended as such. He
drew my arm in his, did speak until vte
reached the ante room.
I hen he told me that he had been sum
moned to the bedside of a dying countryman,
and that he had come from this melancholy
visit to conduct me thither. He would tell
ine no more, and when I refused to go. he
compelled me, almost by force, to accompany
It was to Mr. Fletcher we were going.
We found him in humble lodgings, for he
had spent his last dollar, and was reduced to
d.e in the midst of poverty and deprivation.
He had heard of us, had seen us when he
crawled forth upon the piazza, and had ven
lured to send for us in his extremity. He
uttered no reproaches, though he told me, in
hollow accents, that my rejection had been
his word of doom ; that he had struggled
with his mortal illness, using as in duty
bourid, all means of restoration, but without
hope. And now that he was dying, lie de
sired only to look upon my face, best loved
on earth, ere he committed his 6oul to his
Creator.
I knew then how I had loved John Fletch
er, and if the sacrifice of my life vvo'd have
saved his most gladly would I Lave died that
hour.
But God willed otherwise. I held my hand
in his. but his last words were not of his
crushed earthly hopes, but of those that
reached beyond the rending veil of flesh.
I told my husband all, as we returned, in
the purple Italian twilight, from John Fletch
et's funeral. We had hated each other be
fore, but now a new antagonism had arisin.
We felt that the false and hollow bonds that
bound us must be snapped asunder. I left
him in Naples, and returned alone to Ameri
ca, thus voluntarily renouncing the station
of wifehood, and compelling myself to seclu
sion and solitude or scandal strove to find
cau-e for -this un unprecedented act, and
made itself busy with my lairnaine.
Years have passed since that hour. My

LEARNING* —By too much learning many a
man has been made mad— but never one from
the want of it. Hence, some would draw an
argument against learning; but as well might
the advantages of steam be called in question
because, when raised too high, an explosion

A pretty girl of our acquaintance
says that no one falls in love with her unless
they are "dreadful wicked" or "awful pmus,"

IN OHIO.
CINCINNATI, June 15,—Hon. C. L. Val
landigham arrived at Hamilton. Ohio, this
morning, and made a speech in the public
square, after which he left for Dayton. A
good deal of excitement occurred at Hamil
ton during his stay there .
The 6th Ohio Regiment, the ,! Guthrie

out of the service. A grand reception was
given them.
AT HOME.
CINCINATI, June 15.--Hon. C. L, Valian
digl am arrived a' Dayton at 5 30 P. m., and
proceeded immediately to his residence.
There was no demonstration, but rumors are
current that saon alter his arrival he had ta
ken the night tram for Toledo, but subse
quently announced he would make a public
speech to morrow.
HIS SPEECH.
CINCINATI, June 15—Mr. Vallandigham
made his appearand- at the Democratic Dis
trict Convention, held at Hamilton to day
to the apparent surprise of a large portion of
the assemblage. He was received with great
enthusiasm. 4
lie spoke briefly from a written document
narrating his arrest and defending his actioo.
He said the assertion of the President that
he was arrested because he labored with
some effect to prevent the raising of troops
ami encouraged de-ertions from the army, or
had disobeyed or failed to counsel obedience
to lawful authority, was absolutely false. He
appealed for proof to every speech he had
made and to the record of the military com
missi on.by the trial and sentence of which
be was banished.
"The sole offense" was said, " which was
laid to niv charge in words of criticism o
tiie public policy <>f tiie Administration ad
dressed to an open political meeting of my
fellow-citizens. For more than one year no
pubbc man has been arrested, no newspaper
has been suppressed within the State, for the
expression of public opinion, while ..hundreds
in public assemblies and through the press,
with violence, and violence in which I have
never indulged, have criticised and condemn
ed the acts and pi licies of the Administra
tion and denounced the war—maintaining
Southern Confederacy. Ido not mean any
1 oiigcr to be the only man of the party who
is to he the victim of this arbitrary power.
If Abraham Lincoln seeks my life let him so
declare. lie shall not again restrain me of
my personal liberty, except upon due pro
cess of law.
lie denounced Order No. 38. under which
he was arrested, and said it was against the
Constitution and tlie laws, and without val
idify. All proceedings under it were null
and Toid. "The time has arrived," he con
tinued, "when it becomes me, as a citizen o
Ohio, and of the United States, to demand,
and. by uiy own act, vindicate the rights,
liberties and privileges which I never forfeit
ed, but of which for so many months I have
been deprived lie reiterated his right to
criticise the acts of the Administration, ahd
cautioned ins political friend-" to abstain from
any acts of violence on his account, although
he advised none to shrink from any respon
sibility, however urgent, if forced upon them.
Mr Vullandigham was accompanied to the
depot by an enthusiastic crowd, and arrived
at Dayton to-night, wli,ere it is understood
he will make a speech.
The Convention elected Mr. Vallandigham a
Delegate to the Chicago Convention,
Meeting of Democratic Members of Con
gress.
We have heard it rumored that a meeting
has been suggested, or will soon be held, by
ihe Democratic and conservative Members of
the Seriate and the House of Representatives
to discuss the propriety of a change of the
tune, and probably the place fixed for the
meeting, of the National Democratic Conven
tion.
The Draft and the S3OO Exemption.

"if any drafted person shall hereafter pay
money for the procuration of a substitute un
der the provisions of the act to which this is
an amendment, such payment of money shall
operate only to relieve such person from
draft in filling that quo.a." If it should be
necessary to make several drawings of names
.in order to fill that quota, that is to say, the
quota already assigned, the person paying
commutation-money will be exempt on ac

MAKING FUN OF PEOPLE,
! Once when travelling on a stag ecoach
says a writer in a contemporary, I met with
a young lady who seemed to be on the con
stant lookout for something laughable. Ev
try old barn was made the subject of a pass
lugjoke, while the cows and sheep look de
murely at us, little dreaming that folks could
he merry at their expeuse.
All this was, perhaps, harmless enough,
Anitfiala were not sensitive in that rspect.—
They are not likely to have their feelings in
jured because people make fuu of (hem ; but
when we come to human beings, that is quit
another thing.
So it seemed to me, for; after a while, an
aged woman came running across the fields,
lifting up her hands to the coachman, and in
a shrill voice be-rging him to stop. The good
jialured coachman drew up his horses, and
the old lady coming to the fence by the road
side, squeezed herself through between two
posts which were very near together.
The young lady in the stage-coach made
some ludierotfs remark, and the passengers
laugh ed it seemed very excusable, for,in get
ting through the fence, the poor woman made
sad work with her old black bonnet; and
now, tamnga seat beside a well dressed lady
realty looked as if she had been blown there
by a whirlwind.
This was a new piece of fun, and the girl
made the most of it. She caricatured the
old lady upon a card, pretended to take a
pattern of her bonnet, and in various other
ways sought to raise a laugh at her.
At length the poor woman turned a pale,
face towards her and said :
My dear girl, you are now young, healthy,
and happv. I have been so to, but that time
is past. lam uow old and forlorn. The
coach is taking uie to the death-bed of my
only child. And then, my dear, I shall be a
poor old woman, all alone in the world,
where merry girls will think me a very amus
ing object. They will laugh at uiy old-fash
ioned clothes and sad appearance, forgetting
that the old woman has loved and suffered
and will live forever.
The coach now stopped before a poor-look
ng house, and the old lady feebly descended
the Bteps.
"How is she?" was the first trembling
inquiry of the mother.
'•Just alive," said the man who was lead
ing her mt© the house.
fhe driver mounted his box, and we were
upon the road again. Our merry young
friend had placed the card iu her poefcet.
She was leaning her head upon her band ;
and you may be sure that 1 wa? not sorry
to see a tear upon her fair young cheek. It
was a good lesson, and one which we greatly
hoped would do her good.
A CONSCIENTIOUS MIMSTKK. —There is a
story told of a traveling preacher,whose opin
ions in regard to horse tiesh were quite as
ready on orthdox as were the views of scrip
tural doctrine of which he instructed his
backwoods audience, who once stopped at
the house of a brother of the same faith. wh>>
had reared a Jbeautilul colt. Between the
morning and afternoon services on Sunday,
the two ministers visited the barn of the res
ident preacher where the latter introduced
his promising colt to the traveling brother.—
The guest was so much delighted at the fine
points ofthe animal that he could not restrain
himself, end he immediately bl >rted out the
question,"Suppose it was not the Sabbath,
Brother— how would you trade ?
