On my wnyhomo I mot PehnylerCol fai, who wan nbont leaving for Cali fornia, and who tarried with mo on the sidewalk ft little while, talking nhont tho trip and the people whom I knew in Ban Frnncico nnd Sacramento thnt ho wished to meet. Mr. Lincoln hnd often tnlked with mo nlvvnt the possibil ities of hiB eventnnlly taking np his res idence in California offer his term of offlco shonld ho over. Ho thought, ho said, thnt that country won Id nfford better opportnnitics for his two burs than nny of tho older states, nnd when ho heard that Colfax was going to Cali fornia he was greatly interested in his trip and Raid thnt ho hoped that Colfax would bring him bnck n good report of what his keen nnd practiced observation wonld noto in tho country which he (Colfnx) wns abont to see for tho first time. The evening being inclement, I staid within doors tonnrso a violent cold with which I was afflicted, and my roommate, McA., and I whiled away tho time chatting and playing carda Abont half past 10 onr attention was attracted to tho freqnent galloping of cavalry or tho mounted patrol past tho honso which we occupied on New York nvenno, near the state department building. After awhile qniet was restored, and wc re tired to our Bleeping room in tho roar part of tho honso. As I tnrneddown the gas I Raid to my roommate: "Will, I have guessed tho cause of tho clatter ontsido tonight. You know Wndo Hampton has disappeared with hiR cavalry gomowhero in tho mountains of Virginia. Xow.my theory of the racket is that he has raided Wash ington and luw pouueud down utK.':t tim president and has attempted to carry him off. " Of course this wns said Jo cosely and without the slightest thought that the president was in any way in danger, and my friend, in a similar spirit, bauteringly replied, "What good will that do the robs unless they carry off Andy Johnson also?" The next morning I was awakoned in tho early dawn by a loud and hurried knocking on my chamber door, and the voice of Mr. Gardner, the landlord, crying: "Wake, wake, Mr. Brooks 1 1 have dread ful news." I slipped ont, turned tho kr of tho door, and Mr. Gardner enmo in, palo, trembling and woe begouo, like him who "drew Priam'a curtain at tl dead of night," and told his awfnl story. At that time it was believed that the presi dent, Mr. Seward, Vice President juliu on and other members of the govern ment had been killed, and this was the burden of the tale (hat was told to as. I sank back into my bod, cold and ihiy ering with horror, and for a time it . seemed as though the nd of nil thh.'gs ; had come. I was aroused by tho loud - weoping of my comrade, who had not I left his bed in another part of the room. When we had sufficiently culkxtcd , ourselves to dress and pa-out of doom in r the bleak and cheerio April murium, .we found in the streets am extraordinary spectacle They were suddenly crowded . with people men, women and children, thronging the pavements and darkening the thoroughfares. It seemed as if every body was in tears. Pale f aus, streaming eyes, with now and again an augry, froqraing countenance, went on every Bide. Men and women who were strnn gersocosted one another with (distressed looks, and tearful inqniries far the wel fare ef the president and Mr. Seward ' family. The president still lived, bnt at half pest ? o'clock in the morning the tolling of the bells annonneed to the la menting people that he had ceased to breathe. .His great and loving heart was till. The last official bulletin front the war deportment stated that he died at 23 minutes past 7 o'clock on the morn ing of April ,15. Instantly fags were raised at half mast all over the city, the bells tolled solemnly, and with incredible swiftness Washington wtiut into deep, universal snourning. All .stores, government de partment and private offices were .closed, and everywhere, on the most pre tentions residences ud on the humblest hovels, were the black badges of grief. Stature seemed to syappathiste in the gen eral lamentation, and tears of rain fell from the moist and somber sky. The wind sighed mournfully through street crowded with sad faced people, and broad folds of funereal drapery flapped heavily in the wind over the decorations of the duy before.

There is moro thnn one virtno thnt has gone ont of ditto along with town pumps and tallow candles. Thoro is the old fashioned trick of loyalty to ono's friends. Thoro ore plenty of friendships which, liko costumes, nre put on and off to snit circumstanoes, but the cus tom of "sticking up" for a friend, as our grandmothers called it, through all trouble nnd calumny, whether deserved or not, went ont with calashes and knoe bnokloft, now many understand tho deep and dolicato meaning of the words Ruth spoke so long ago to Naomi, "Thy friends shall bo my friends?" We all of ns number so called friends upon tho cphonieral records wo keep whoso lips areroady to traduce, unchallenged by us, the names of others for whom wo vow an equal regard. It should be as Initios rlblo for us to listen to a word of re proach agninst nny one whom wo lovo as it would be to suy tho slanderous thing ourselves. What doc tho Rousi live plant do whenrndotonch approach es its blossoms? Just what wo should do when the breath of soandal tonohes our frionds. If loyalty is out of dnto, so Is mod nsty.

I pass that by nnd tako up tho question only of such modesty as keeps a young girl dif fident and proserves bashfulnoss in a boy like tho bloom on n plum. "Ho is green I" yon say of such and such a ono. So is April I Who wonld not prefor such greenness to the withering blight of hay and a midsummer diought? Never condomn a young person becauRO thoro is enough sap loft in his soul to flutter a green leaf late in tho season. I lovo to roo that modesty which makes a youth deferential to his olders. It's horribly ont of date, I know, but I lovo bashful noss and modest, unassuming ways are mighty sweet to see. Anibor in Chi cago Times-Herald. A Hilt Knrprlav.
