For Kuiily fentord was enpagca to De

young man who sat besido her, are-
lossly playing wuu ner spools ana scis

Martin, who would hardly at that mo

Crown Princo of Russia. What though

not pretty Emily i'enioru promiscu to

George Martin looked at the gather

siderable perplexity.
"Well, Emmy, I'm sorry myself; I
know it would be far more pleasant to

in the world, and I somehow feci as it

old lady. You see, I am tho only rela

Isabella and her husband decline to do
anythiug for Aunt Bridget, and I cau't
see the old lady uomeiess, or iu wum., w
long as I have a cup to drink, or crust
to eat. So I have written to her to
come and live with us, as soon as we
were married."
"Without consulting me?"
"Without confulting you for there
was no time to be lost, and I know my
little Emily would not fail to acquiesce
in what I considered best. There's
plenty of room you know, for I have

"You're too late for tea, George, but

Jenny, wistfully. She was a fair, deli

eyes, and hair brushed smoothly away

But the time came when Jenny was
destined to bo still more severely tried.
Aunt Bridget fell sick, and grew
more petulant, irritable and exacting

"Jenny," said George, with dim eyes
"I shall not soon forget this ordeal
through which you havo passed."
And Jenny was satisGed to her
mind, her husband's approval was tho
sweetest guerdon she could know I
"Ilereis Aunt Bridget's 'will,' in a
leather picket book, under her pillow,
George she told me where I should
find it," taid Jenny, a liltlo while sub
sequently. "Will you please to take
charge of It !"
Georco danced over the quaiut and
formal document with a rather curious
smile on hil face.
"She leates you her wardrobe, Jen

give it to some peverty stricken soul !"
"Indeed no," said Jeuny, reverently
folding up the ancient garment, "I'll
pot it away and keep it for Am t
Bridget's sake ! !"
"Isabella and her husband will feel
very badly, when they learn what an
inheritance they have lost," said George
Martin, with assumed gruvity. "I won
der if they will come to the funeral ?"
But no body followed poor old Aunt
Bridget to her grave, in the quiet shad
ows of Greenwood, except Mr. and Mrs.
Martin ! the dead leaf fluttered down
at last from its teeblo hold ou the trees
of the world, and thore were but few to
mourn its fall 1

But when, one dreary November ev
ening, he was brought home on a shut
ter crippled and helpless for months,
from a fall from a scaffolding, poor
George thought the future looked very
iirmrnmiHinp'.
"It's for you and the children I'm

paid my two ceuts, walked away, feel

soreness was gone, and one of elasticity
remained. 1 really ucver felt Detter in

would be far better than a glass ot soda

you achieved a triumph at tin' polls scarcely
less important iu its results thun the victory
of arms on the field of Gottsysburg. The
integrity of tho Union, the perpetuity of tho
Republic we secured by tho one, its perma
nent peace aud iuturo glory uro insured by
the other.
Your verdict tlms pronounced will he re
corded by tho .American peoplo iu Novem
ber next in a most emphatic condemnation
of tho party f;iUo to tlio country in tho hour
of its peril, lulso to liberty nnd tho rights
of man. Kvory lover of peaco and good
order congratulates you on your achieve
ments in stripping such an organizatiou of
all power to inliict future injury ou tho
country. lleneefoitH it must niik under the
mimo oliloquv tlint rests upon the Tories of
tho Revolution nud tlio Federalists of the
war of 1H12. Kutrustod with power, it
wielded it for tho dismemberment of tho
Republic. Confided in by its devotees as
tho guardinn of liberty, it exerted all its en
ergies for the perpetuity of human bondage.
Professing reverence tor free spmch nnd
freedom of the press, it silenced both with
bowie-kuife nnd revolver wherever it Imd
supremo control. Assuming to bo tlio
guardian of the lights of man, it became
tho chainpiou of human bondage, aud stood
eentinal with baying blood-hounds to seize
and return tho fleeing fugitive ; and at last,
dissutislied wilh the result of a fair election
it rained its hund against tho lite of the Re
public, nnd Sampson-like, would have
buried itself in tho ruins of tho grandest
temple of liberty ever reared by human
hand.
It is befitting that a party scared by such
a record should die at the hands of tho peo
plo whoso seuso of justice it has outro;;d
and whoso dearest rights it has trampled iu
tho dust
Republicans of tho Keystono 1 lour
hruthurn throughout thoUuion have watched
tho struggle which you havo jnst passed
with intense imorest, audita result gladdens
every patriot heart. Let not your victory
dam pou your ardor or relax your energy, but
march on with closed ranks and solid columns
to coraplota yeur victory in November.

States havo entered iuto liberal agreements
with us, while nations which are far off, and
which heretofore have boon unsocial and ex
clusive, have become our friends. Tho an
nual period of rest which we have reached in
health uud tranquility, and which is crowned
with so many blessings, is by universal con

fleeting rumors of her wealth which we

says : "The 6tory of a clergyman con.
victed of fraud, at tho Middlesex Ses

and horrible, ins aowuiau uegau . oy
his getting drunk on what should havo
been his wedding-day, and in conse

It is a painful history a r.eaiiy tragical

WHY NOT ?
The States uow represented in Congress
and entitled according to the recent act of
the national legislature, to take part iu tho
Presidential election, cast 294 electoral
votes. Tho three States, excluded by that
act, Virginia, Mississippi and Texas, would
east if their votes were counted, 23 more
making a total vote of 317. In the actual
cose 117 vot--s are necessary to an election,
In the other case l.VJ would be.
Now let us seo how the already determined
voto Btnnda. Kix States have held elections

have given Republican majorities and an
