CAPTAIN   DENISON'S   AFFINITY, j
Captain Hiisjo C'liiii'lea Benisou was a. geuuiue Briton. He wasayoiiuK nmti (II" goocl lieart, good abilities, more tiian j
uvcrogo ouUtire, alltl >cry alij   c»«A for- I
nial manueni. After the close of the Amerienn civil war he came out to the United States, following a stream of his countrymen, anxious to set, for tlie flrst time, some actual and gennine knowledge about the extraordinary republic which hnd .so strangely dls¬ lurbed one of the Briti.sh rhilistine's cherished articles of faith by refusing to burst up according to ail uound pre¬ diction and intnitive preception ofi British I'hilistinism. Xow onr cap-1 tain was not by nature or training a Philistine, but he had some of the Hiilistine prejudices about hiin, and he was especially settled in his mind aa to the sphere and the duties of woman. Captain Hugo Deuison hated the very mention of woman's rights. His idea of a well-bred and ladj'-like woman wr..') that ofa graceful and dignified peraon wlio rarely spoke, and when she did speak, utteied only some becom¬ ing commonplace, in which no inves¬ tigation could detect au idea, and with which acrimony itself could not desire to quariei. In fact, the properest thing a woman could do was to do noth¬ ing—or as little as possible—certainly to do nothing out ofthe common. A woman of conversational talent, dia- l)laying honestly her capacity, our cap¬ tain would liave set down in much the same category as o ballet-girl display¬ ing her legs. In fact, no matter how useful and charming a woman's talents might be, they were, in Captaiu Deni- son'8 estimation, like the lower limbs, lo be kept always from the public observation.
Of course Captain Denison knew that, when visiting the United States, he would be likely, sorae time or other, to meet some of the fair advocates of the rights of woman. Indeed he had something like a timid and morbid curiosity about them, as one has abont seeing a ghost or a mangled body. He dreaded yet wished to meet a few of the creatures. He took it for granted that they all wore trowsers, and—well, let us say expectorated.
Captain Denison saw a little ofthe outer and inner life of two orthree of the Eastern States, and was, like most Englishmen of any observation, alittle disappointed on finding how very like the inner life, at least, was to that of -Vnglo-Saxon cities across the water. Uis letters of introduction brought him 1 uto the society of steady-going, respect¬ able, mildls fashionable persons, who were in the habit of visiting England pretty often themselves, and liad Eng¬ lish ways aliout them. Captain Deui¬ son sat at many dinner-tables in New York which, were sjiIendid and quiet and formal and stupid enough eveu for London. On general subjects the opin¬ ions he heard expressed quite coincided with his owu, aud he now thought he clearly understood why the Northern Slatea were great in war. " Tbey are just like ourselves," Denison said to hlmsell, with satisfaction and pride.
Sometimes tbe question of woman's rights was broached and Captain Deni¬ son found that ou this subject, too, his own views were exactly those of the people with whom he commonly raix- ¦ed. Women who talked of their rights were necessarily coarse, vulgar, hard, indecent, and unsexed creatures. None of his friends had ever met any of them, only aaw something about tiiem in the newspapers. In fact, Ihough every one .seemed to have a i-lear anil decided opinion about the appearance and character of these women, yet the woman did not seem to bevLsiblein any place on which the Hunshine of society ever shone, and Captain Denison began to sel them down as a race of beings wlio letl a Kiibterranean existance, or ouly eame outat night, and in dark, mysterious places.
Please dou't set down Captain Deui¬ son as a fool or a prig. He was neither ; had not a gleam of the nature of either in his composition. He waa only an able and well-read man who had but limited means of observation, and had clasa prejudices He had many loiig and interesliug conversations with somo Americans well qualilied to in- structhim, aud he was quite open to instruction on moat subjects. -One of the men he liked beat aud met oftenest of late was Julius Wynter, a retired merchant, who had a pleasant place faraway in the country, whilher he always fled when New York became hot and dull. Denison mueh liked both Mr. and Mrs. Wynter, aud fouud pleasure and proflt in their society. So when it came tobe "the month of roses," Captain Denison cordially ac¬ cepted a pressing iuvitation to spend a few days with the Wynters at their country plnce somewhere among the mountains. A day waa fixed, and the visitor received an elaborate carte du pwju. He was to go a certain distance by steamer, and then a carringe waa to meet him and convey him on to Falconwood, the residence of his liost and hostess.
By some mischance Captain Denison failed to get the steamer at thu right hour, ana so had to take an eveniug boat Instead of one starting at noon.— Therefore, of course, the whole pro¬ gramme of his arrival was deranged.— When the Wynters' carriage came for liim he was not there ; when he got out of the railway cars no carriage awaital him. The Wi-utera' assumed that he was not coming. Captain Den¬ ison stood, portmanteau in hand, at a low, half-finished railway station ; tbere was no ono to receive him; the day was hot, and Falconwood was six miles oil'.
Therewas only one vehicle of any kind near the station when Denison got out, and that was a pretty pony car¬ riage. DeuisDU at first had some hope that it might prove to be the carriage - of his friends, and to be waiting for him, but it was not so. A young lady gotoutof tho train and into tho car¬ riage. She took the reins into her own hands from thoso of the black servant, who then went behind. A man of •Captain Denison'a age never fails. In whatever perplexity, to look at a young womau, and Denison saw, tbat this was a petite, pretty, bright-eyed creature with delicately formed featurea and fair ¦ ihalr.
DeniBoa looked at the lady, the lady i looked at him. He was evidently a 8traneer,-and in some Bort ofa "Ax;" and she delayed giving the word of de¬ parture to her ponies.
Our Captain Degan to ask about the way to Falconwood, and the poMibllity of getting liCHriaclltoAl^iittaeta, over wUchlpMi^aiil^lK^Onary at tbe station shook bli bead donbtfuUy. Tbe lady in her pony carriage heard the discDsaloni and called out, In a clear, ringing voice, just perhaps a little, a very little, sharp of tone :
"Are you going to Falconwood, Sir? A friend of Mr. Wynter'a ? If so, I am going there, and shall be delighted to take you."
Deuison took ofl' his hat, thanked her, explained his position and his difficul¬ ty, and was of course only too happy to accept her ofl'er. Girls in the old land dou't invite strangers to drive with them, eveu when lu the country ; and Captain Denison, grateful and glad though he was, could not help think¬ ing so. In this ease, however, the dif¬ ference of manners was so entirely to his advantage that he almost approved of it.
"Getrightin, Sir," the young lady encouragingly said. Captain Denison accepted the invitation, uot wilhout making a mental uote of the "right in" and the "Sir," which aro unfamiliar words under such circumstances iu Eu¬ gland. He got rigbt in, and sat next the pretiy girl. Keally slie was very prettj', aud eveu a stolid Briton—aud Deniaon waa nothing of the aort— must have been glad to sit by her Sid.-.
He ofTered, of courae, to relieve her of the trouble of driving; but she de¬ clared, first, that he didu't know the way ; uext the road was not easj", and the jionies wero somewhat unmanage¬ able for a stranger ; fiually, that she had taken the reina from the black servant because .she specially liked to drive. Ho she took the reins and they rattled away ; and our Briton began to think hia position at least aa pleasant aa it was decidedly udd.
The young lady had plenty of talk ; and her talk was animated, original, nnd Interesting. Captain Denison de- .spite his recordetl aiiiniratioii of stately silence in woinan, found himaelf much delighted with the voluble vivacity of theyoung woman ; and, more than that, he began to be quite pleased with liim¬ aelf, aud to recognize iu himself con¬ versational resources tiio existence wiiereof he had never before suspect¬ ed. Delicious was tlie day, the atmos¬ phere, the scene ; the road lay through a beautiful country, through woodland green us that of lila own Devonshire, Ihrough the foliage of cedar and tulip- trees and hickory and oak. His com¬ panion pointed his attention   to every

something luteresting to .sa.v nbiuit this glade and that brook and yonder house among the trees, ami had questions lo ask of him about England's trees and landscapes and .social life, which she liaii not yet seen ; and the conversation never flagged. Iu Eugland the Cap¬ tain nlwaya found it a heavy ordeal to have to lull; to girls.
Something or other brought up an allusion to woman's rights, and Captain Deuison biuileiied to expreas his pro¬ found and proper contempt for all such unfeminine nonsense.
"Haveyou met auy ofour leading women—tliose who advocate woman's rights, I mean ?" aaked the young lad3', glancing curiously at him, with an odd expression iu her bright eyes.
"Not I ; no. Nobody meets lhem, I believe. They are all dreadful crea¬ tures." He waxed quite eloquent iu denouncing tliem.
"And you, who talk iu tiiis way, are going to be Mrs. Wynter'a guest! — Dou't you know that Mra. Wynter isa whole-aouled sympathizer with the wronga of her sufTering sisters'.'"
"Didn't know, I'm sure. I hope she is not any thing of the kind."
"Past hope. Sir; she is. I should unt wonder if she had several distingulah- ed representative woman to meet you!"
"Oh, pray don't."
"Y^es, I think it quite likely. 1 fancy I heard somelhing about a conversa¬ tion in the village yonder, but I don't quite recollect the date. This is Mr. Wynter's. It is not a charming place?"
The servant had got down and flung open the gate, and the carriage drove up a beautiful avenue and on to a lawn. The house that stood upon the lawn, and from the ".stoop" nf which oue had glimpses of a lovely river, and of blue, distant hills, was a large, hand¬ some, irregular, picturesque structure, all windows, verandas, gables, porti¬ coes, and trellises, flaming witii bright creeping plauts.
Mr. and Mra. Wynter had come forth, with the genial and jiospitable ways of the country, to receive their visitors at the door.
"I have brought you your friend," said the young lady; " aud now pray do make us acquainted, for I have not yet the pleasure of knowing his name." " You are always doing good of some kind, Julia Esslyn," said her hosteas, aa ahe cordially kissed the giri; aud theu the regular presentations were gone througb; and soou aftor the parly broke up, lo meet again at dinner lime. Captain Denison found that Ills prettj' friend, Mi.ss Julia Esslyn, was to be a guest ill the house for some days, al whicii he was greatly pleased. She aat next to him at dinner, and Ihey renew¬ ed their conversation very agreeably. Suddeuly jSIiss Esslyn, now address¬ ing her hostess, who was at the olher side of Captain Deni.son, saitl:
"I am sorry to tell you, Mrs. Wyn¬ ter, that Captain Denison has a worae than even British prejudice agaiust the advocatesof woman's rights. Hepour- ed out great eloquence of denunciation ngainst the whole movement antl ita cbatnpiona aa we caine along to-day." "We must have him conyerU'd," saitl Mrs. Wynter, graciously. " He comes here at a very fortunate time. I am happy to s.ay, Capt.ain Denisou, that I expect the houor qf a visit from some of the most distinguislied advo¬ cates of woman's sufTrage during your slay here. I thought you would be glad to meet lhem."
Captain Deuison tried .to mumble out, "very happy, I'm sure," aud shud¬ dered, anil broke down.
He forgot his alarm, however, in the enjoyment of a delicious walk In the shrubbery, jnst at thecloseof the beau¬ tiful evening, witii Misa Esslyn. Frank and fearless, like all educated Ameri¬ can girls of her class, she was easy, happy, and unconstrained In the com¬ pany of this English stranger; aud the English stranger liked iter society immeuaely.
iMr. Wynter Joined thom after a while, and Miss Esalyn returned to the house. Wynter and his guest strolled and smoked through the grounds until it was quite dark, and theu repaired to the drawing-room.
It was but faintly lighted ; and Cap¬ tain Denison on entering saw, as he thought, u small, stout man stauding up ou the heartii-rug, hia back to the flre-place. There was no one else but Mra. Wynter In the room. When our hero entered Mrs. Wynler ruse,aiid said :
" I am so glad you havo come, Cap¬ tain Denisou. I wisli to present you to a distinguished country-woman of mine, oue of the most celebrated advo¬ cates of justice to a trampled sex. Mrs. Carnifex Mango, petmit me to intro¬ duce to you Captain Deuison, of tbe British army."
Captain Denisou bowed and trem¬ bled. He had calmly and with nnshak- ing hand lighted u freah cigar just be¬ fore taking his place at tho head of a storming party to assault the Redan ; ilis cooi;composure never ouce failed him through ali the terrible trials of Cawnpore; but he looked at Mrs. C.ir- nifex Maugo, and his eyea swam and his tongue cleaved to tlie roof of his mouth.
Mrs. Carnifex was a stout ^Toman, with a great mass of tow-like hair fail¬ le lug over her shoulder. She wore spec¬ tacles and a black coat, aomething like a truncated riding-habit. " I look down toward hia feet," saya Othello, " but that's a fable!" " I look down toward her feet," poor Denison might have said, "but that's not a fable." No; beneath the skirts of the long gaber¬ dine there appeared, unmistakable, the article of dress which an English¬ woman is only allowed to wear meta¬ phorically. Mrs. Carnifex Mango stood before our hero in trowsers 1
"A Britisher!" exclaimed Mrs. Man¬ go, in a loud, harsh voice, aud wilh a dash of pity and contempt in her tone. "And pray, Sir, how does tho move¬ ment progress in Britain? How is your J.S. Mill?" '
Captain Denison stammered out a modest admission that he had not any peraonal acquaintance with tbat Illus¬
trious man, and that he did not know much about the.prpgresaof the move¬ ment—In fact, what movenjenti,j_. ¦' What'movement 1" ezclalDMl<M«i^

Sir, which is to raise up op¬ pressed and Injured woman and place her firmly on her—on her—"
Perceiving that tbe oratress paused for a word, Captain Deniaon good-na¬ turedly but feebly suggested "legs;" but the oratress frowned down, waved away the unhappy suggestion, aud went ou:
"Place lier firmly on her true pedes¬ tal! You, Sir, are, I perceive, one of those who are prejudiced against wo¬ man-"
"Oh dear, no, I do assure you," Deni¬ son faintly interposed.
" Y'our own despotism. Sir, has per¬ verted and desroyed your moral nature. Say, Sir, by what right you claim to ty¬ rannize over my suffering sex?" m " Never did anything of the kind! Never, upon my honor," pleaded the lueklessIBrltish officer.
" I perceive. Sir, that you are not ac¬ quainted wilh the bearings of this great question. It is, then, my dutj', as one who haa taken a conspicuous part in Us promulgation, to endeavor to enlighten an ignorant stranger. It is my dutj'.

" Wonderful woman," said Mra. Wynter, after the eloquent Mango had taken her departure.
"Spleudid jutellect," said Mr. Wyn¬ ter.
" So sorry I could not Iiear her," said Miss Julia Esslyn, who just now euter¬ ed the room. " Why do people have headaches at wrong times? Were you uot struck with her Captain Denisou ?" ad" Very much, indeed," reidied the Captain.
"Tiien, her manners are so graceful and geutle! Nothing unladj'like or 2>roiionec about her I Some of our lady reformers are, perhapa, a littio marked aud uncommon in manner, but Mra. Carnifex Mango ia perfeetiou."
"Aud yet," said Mrs. Wynter, tUougi.truiii., •' I Ooubt if Misa Athene PulUn will uot irapro.sa Captain Deni¬ son even more deeiilj'."
"Impossiblo, I tliiiik," murmured Captttiu Denison.
He had some couversation that night wilh Jli.ss Easlj'u, and grew charmed with her grace, her ambition, her cul¬ ture, aud her refinement. "In the name of all the perplexing demons," lio asked of his own soul, " how cau tbls charming and intellectual creature tolerate such a hideous monstrosity aa Mrs. Carnifex Mango ?"
It waa about the dusk of the follow¬ ing eveniug that our hero had the hap¬ piness of being presented to Miss Athene Pufllu. Bad as .Mrs. Carnifex Mango waa Miaa Atheno'Puflln showed even more appalling in the captain's perplexed and distressed eyea. Site hail not Indeed, abandoned petticoats ; but ahe wore those garments so hideouslj- lank and long tiial thej- were rather moro devoitl of feminine grace than even Jlrs. Mango's jiniitalbons. Her hair wns screwed up in an extraordi- narj- mass, or mop, under un immenso hat ; and she not onl.v concealed her eyes uuder spectacles, but undor green speetncles. She bowed a solemn bow when Captaiu Deniaon waa presented to her, and heaved a sigh. Tlien she began:
"Y^ou  are from England, Sir, and
aeekingf, I hope, t'op tho tpntb.O"
" Weil—yes-at least I hope so, mad¬ am." " Where have you sought it, Sir?" A puzzling qnestiou, truly! Captain Deniaon begaii to aak himself, In a hur¬ ried mental examination, where he had been seeuiiig the truth. \Vell, he had been re.tdiug tho daily papers ; he had been—
Athene I'uffiu loftily waved away his attempted explanations with a grand gesture of the haud. "The truth. Sir, must be sought ot woman. Of wo¬ man. Sir! Y'esSir-ree! Tbe new gos¬ pel comes from womau. She is nature's last and noblest utterance! She is na¬ ture's highest efibrt. With her the di¬ vine intuition supplies the place of the inadequate, played-out reason whieh man boasts of. Season is now a dead beat! Of course, Sir, you admit the natural and destined supremacy of woman?"
Oh yes! He was prepared to take his oath of that.
"Haveyou considered. Sir, the eter¬ nal relation of woman with tho inll¬ nile?"
Well, no, he hadn't exactly consitl- cred lhem, stammered the wretched Briton, but he meaut to go to work at considering them at once.
Athene shook her head and smiled wilh an air of sadness and superiority. "JNIan unassisted can not fathom those relationships. His grosser nature ia un¬ equal to that sublime task. Woman must aid liim aud guide him upward. Are J'OU willing. Sir, to bo guided up¬ ward ?"
"If uot verj'high," llie captain tri¬ ed lo saj'.
" I am sure Captain Denisou will be only too happy to receive guidance," luterposed Mra. Wynter, sweetlj'. She aud her husbaud were hanging on the words wlllch fell from Athene's inspir¬ ed lipa.
"Good Heavens !" thought Denison, " how much I have been mistaken iu these people! I thought them so intel¬ lectual and refined, and they are charm¬ ed with thia hideous creature aud her mad jargon !" In liis agony he looked wildly arouud for Julia Esslyn, but Julia was nowhere to be seen.
"Choose, then," .said Athene, rising majesticalljr from her seat—" choose a .spiritual guide of the auiwrior sex to en¬ lighten and instruct you duriug your stay iu this place. She will, if ahe be true lo her mission—and any woman under thia hallowed roof must be thus true—she will arouse j'our aleeping in¬ tuitions, and open for you j'our spiritu¬ al eyes. Think of the noble women you are privileged to meet here. Think of the lofty insight of Kachel Wvnter, the sublime uflliiitiea of Carnifex Man¬ go, tlie—"
"Theaauctified n-spirations of Athene Pufllu," interpoaed Mra. Wynter. Aud she added iu au undertone, meant lor our hero, " Name Athene Pufllu. Do not loso such a ehauce! Let her be your guide." A bright idea lil up Den¬ ison'a distracted mind.
"No, thnnk.s!"hecxclaimcd, hurried¬ ly; I fear I am not quite up to the mark of these gifted women. Their intellecta would rather appall me. I shouldn't get on at all; I kuow I shouldn't. But if I must choose. I think I should like for my guide aud elevator—Is that the word—or my afflnity, or whatever it is, the .voung lady who was here just uow —Misa Esslyn."
A burst of laughter from both host and hostess saluted this sudden and rash proposal, and Athene shrank back as if overwhelmed with confusion. Indeed, she turned round, and seemed as If about to hurry from tlie room. But to Deui¬ son's horror, Mr. Wynter sprang from hisseat, ran to place himself between iier and the door, and actually seized the divine Athene's liat—nay and her hair ulso, and plucked both from her sublime head. And behold there was no Athene Puffin auy longer visible ; and there stood In her place, with blush¬ ing cheeks, head bent down, and hair falling over her shoulders, the graceful, vivacious Julia Esslyn herself.
" Please, Captain Denisou, do forgive me!" she pleaded when she had a little recovered her composure. " It waa a dreadful practical joke of mine, con¬ cocted in concert with Mr. and Mrs. Wynter. I am a fierce champion, iu theorj', at least, of the rights of women, and I wauted to punish you for setting such persons down ns iiideoua old frights. And I had some hope that you might even take the thing so complete¬ ly au serieux as to write a book on America, and devote at least a whole chapter to Mrs. Carnifex Maugo aud Miss Athene Puffin, as types of Ameri¬ can womanhood ; and that would have been suoh delightful fun for us here who were in the secret."

THE HUSKllQiFABTT.
A CHILDS DEEAM OJ A STAE.
There was ouce a child, and he strolled about a good deal, and thought of a number of thing.s. He had a sla¬ ter, who waa a child, too, and his con- slHiit companion. These two used to wonder all day long. They wondered at the beauty of the flowers; they won- ilered at the lieiglit and bluenesa of the akj-; tliey wondered at the depth of tbe bright water; they wondered atthe goodneaa and power of God who made the lovely world.
They used to say to one auother, sometimes. Supposing all tbe children upon the earth were to die, would the flowers, and the water, and the sky, be sorry? Thej' believed they would bo sorry. For, said they, the buds are the cbildren of the flowers, and the little plaj'ful streams that gambol down the hill-sides are the children of the water; and the smallest brightest specks play¬ ing at hide and seek In the sky all night, must surely be the children of the stars; and they would all begrieved to see their playmates, the children of men, no m9re.
There was one clear shining star that used 10 come out In the sky before the rest, near the church spire, above tho graves. It was larger and more beau¬ tiful, they thought, thau all the others, and every night they watched for it, ataudiug hand in hand at the window. Whoever saw it flrst, cried out, " I see the star!" And often they cried out both together, knowing so well when it would rise, aud where. So thej' grew to be such frienda with it, that, before lying down in their beds, they alwaya looked out onee again, to bid it ;good night; and when they were turning round to sleep, they uaed to aaj', "God bless the star!"
But while she was still very young, oh, very,very young, thesister drooped, and came to be so weak that she couid no longer stand In the window at night; and theu the child looked sadly out by himself, and when he saw tbe star, turned round and said to the palient, pale faee on the bed, " I see the star!" and thon a smilo would como upon tho face, anil a littln weak voice used to say, "God blesa my brother and the star!"
And so tho time came all too aoon! when the child looked out aloue, and when thero was no face on the bed; and when there was a little grave among the graves, uot there before; and when the star made loug rays down towards him, as he saw it through his tears.
Now, these raya were so bright, and tbey seenied to make such a shining waj' from earth to Heaven, thnt when the child went to hia solitary bed, he dreamed about the star; and dreamed that, lying where he was, he saw a train of people taken up thatsparkling road by angels. And the star, opening, showed him a great world of light, where mnny more such nngela wnited to receive them.
All these angel-a, who wcre waiting, turued their beaming eyes upou the into people who '.vere carried up the star; and some camo out from the loug rows iu which they stood, and fell npon the people'a necks, and kissed them tenderly, and went away with them down avenues of light, aud were .so happy in their corapany, that lying in his bed he wept for joj-.
But, there were manj- nugels who did not go with them, and among them one he knew. The pati»»* foo» ti."* once had lam m.^... lu-e bed was glori¬ fied nud nidiaut, but liis heart fouud out his sister among all the host.
His sister's angel  lingered  near Ihe entrance of the star,  and said to the leader among those who liad  brought tho people thither: " Is my brother come?" And he said, " No." She  was  turning  hopefully  away, wheu the cliild strelched out bis arms, and cried, "0, sister, I am here!   Take me!" and then she turned her beam¬ ing eyes upon him, aud it was night; nnd the star was shlninginto the room, making long rays dowu towards him us he saw it through his tears.
From that hour forth, the child looked out upon the star as on the home he was to go to, when liis time should come, and he thought that he did not belong to the earth alone, but to the star too, because of bia sister's angel goue before.
There was a babj' born to be a broth¬ er to the child; and while he was so little that he never yet had spoken word, he stretched hia liny formouton his bed, and died.
Again the child drearaetl of the open¬ ed star, and of the company of angels, and the train of people, and the rows of angels with their beaming eyea ail turned upon those people's faces. Said his sister's angel to the leader: " Is my brother come?" Aud he said, " Not that one, but au¬ other."
As the child beheld his brother's augel in her arms, he cried, "O, sister, I am here! Take me!" And ahe turned and smiled upon him, and the star was shining.
He grew to be a young man, and was busy at his booka when an old servant came to him and said :
"Thy mother is uo more. I bring her blessing on her darling son !"
Again at night he saw the star, and all that former compauy.   Said his sla¬ ter's angel to the leader: " Is my brother come?" And he aaid, "Thy mother!" A mighty cry of joy weut forth thro' all the star, because the mother waa re¬ united to her two children.    And he atretched out his arms and cried,  "O, mother, sisler, and brother, I am here! Take me!"    And they auswered liim, "Not yet," and tho alar waa sbiulug. He grew to be a man, wliose hair wna turning grej», aud he was sitting in liis chair by the fireside, heavy with grief, and with his face bedewed wilh tears, when the star opened once agaiu.
Said ills sister's aiigcl to the leader, " Is my brotlier come?"
And the man who had been the child saw hia daughter, newly lost to him, a celestial creature among those three, and he said, " My daughter's head is ou mj' sister's bosom, and herarm ia round mj' mother's neck, and at ber feet there ia the baby of oltl lime, aud I can bear the parting from her, God be praised!" And the star waa shining. Thua the child came to be an old man, and hia ouce amooth face was wrinkled, and hia steps were alow nnd feeble, and his back waa bent. Aud one night as he lay upon his hed, his children standiug round, he cried, as lie had cried so loug ago: "I see the star!"
They whispered one another "Ho is dj'ing."
And hesaid, " I am. My nge is fall¬ ing from me like a garment, and I move towards the star as a child. And O, my Father, now. I thank thee that it has ao often opened, to receive those dear ones who await me!"
And tlie star was shining; and It shines upon hia grave.

" They, say there'a lota of music In Lucy," returned Uncle Dorset. Every¬ body called him Unele Dorset. "She's just tbe trim-built, light steppin' critter her mother was before her. What grand, good tiines we boys nnd girls used to have together when ahe was young."
"Yes," said the wife, with a slight air of inj u I'J', "You nud Horace was both of you smitten with Lucy Parkea. Everybody knows that well enough."
"No," said Uncle Dorset, wagging hia good-natured old head ; it waa Hor¬ ace's slater I was after ; but I waa al¬ ways willing to crack a joke with Lu- cv Parkes."
¦" Well," said Aunt Dorset, the ag¬ grieved look shadowing off a little; "It alwaya looked as If It was nip and tuck between you and Horace."
The old lady did not really mean It; but the truth was, she had always been a little Jealous of her brother's wife, and now,- almost unconsciouslj'', tbe feeling was transferred to Luey Mal¬ com. Bhe did not relish tbe idea of her coming to Btockburn, and turning peo¬ ple's heads, aa her mother had done.— Bhe had not seen the girl for five or six yeara ; but report said Lucy had grown to be a pretty, areh, dark-eyed little witch, with a spice of mischief in her composition that made her irresistible. In the mild haze of the autumn day the Dorset boya were getting in the corn, drawing with an ox team the rust¬ ling sheaves to the baru—
"The old swallow-haunted b.arn. Brown-gabled, loni?, and lull of seams, Tlirough which the moled snnligiit streams.'
A right mind and generous affection liave more beauty and channa than all other symmetries in the world besides ; and a grain of honesty and native wortii ia of more value than all the ad¬ ventitious ornamenta, eslates, or pre¬ ferments—for the sake of which some of the betier aort so often turu knaves.
Absiract goodness does not stir oppo¬ sition. >So long as piety ia only pic¬ tured as a vislou, or made to appear aa a aort of sacred episode iu history, it troubles men very little. It ia only when it claims costly homage and per¬ sonal service that the flght springs up.
The triumphal arch of moralitj' ia a rainbow beneath which no mortal has ever paased, and which none but One has ever had above hia head; that la, be who stands us a aun beueaih the clouds.
"Wheu a man aud wouisn are made one, the question is, "Whieii one?" Sometimes there is a long struggle between lhem before the matter is settled.
It is said that modesty. ahould sit upon a man like a coat, i' There would be some-very, ill fitting specimens of the virtue about if tbat were the case.
" We will have a husking bee wiien Cousiu Luey conie-s," suid Enoch Dor¬ set, as he stood upon the load, his tall, well-knit form swaying a little, aud showed clearly, clad aa he was In a com¬ fortable flannel sliirt aud trowsera of Jersej' blue.
" Golly! so we will," said hia brother Job from the tbreshing floor, "If Cous¬ iu Lu ia as lively as they say she is, it will be general trainiug the moat of the time while she ataj's."
Job was not as good-looking as Enoch, his hair was lank and his face was sallow; but there were funny lines around his mouth aud lie had a dry way of saying things, nnd a taste for drollery of all sorta, that made him a favorite. He kept his wit sharpened at Enoch's expense ; aud Enoch was rather open toriilioule, for he had a sneaking fondness for hair-oil and fan¬ cy neckties, and scented pockel-hand- kerchlefs, and secretlj- tielieved himself to bethe iiest-looking fellow in Stock- burn.
"Hullo!" said Enoch, standiug still on the load wilh the easy sway of the liips, and shading Ilia handaome brown face with hia liands, aa he look¬ ed up the road where it ro.se until the spiral Lombardy jioplars in front of Elkanah Kaynor's houso showed gaps of sky between, like parted flngers, and the old ehimnej's were nestled in a power of fruit trees, yellow and rua- set now. Tho road down which Euocli was gazing was by no means a common couutry road. The fences were all of the beat, and footpatha were shaded by fine, stocky maples, that were carpet¬ ing the wagontraclia with fiecka of flame color. Every house in Stockburu neighliorhood w:ia snug and neat, with a well-to-do air. It liad the best scliool- house nud church in the township, and also what people called a "crack" street.
"There's the sta"ecoming tho lurn¬ pike corner," exclaimed Euocli, as his eyea followed a cloud of dust.
"Cousin Lucy!" shouted Job. And ho tlirew down hia fork and dashed ifway to the house ; and in a minute more Uncle Dorset, bareheaded, with his broad, good-natured old face smi- llntr '^i! over, and little, bustling Aunt Dorset, n.i,i, Iier rain oirinn-a «»•'-„. hurrietl out into the troutynrd.
Therewas a faee at onoof the win¬ dows of Rayiior farm house aa the top heavj- stage, with ita six horses, and flapping leather curtains, and piles of trunks strapped behind, went creaking past. Tlie house waa too much shaded for health, and the face waa in shallow. It waa a young face, with an abun¬ dance of soft hair, regular featurea, and large blue eyea, that ought to have been patient and loving; but there was an unualural expression about the lines of the mouth thai; made it look a little stem. Now, as the stage passed quick¬ ly by aflbrdiiig to the watching eyes nt the window a glimpse of a fa.sclnating, girlish counteuauce, lovely in its bloom, with a litlle lilue vail fluttering from a jockej' hat, Nancy Baynor'a head beut down on her work, and it seemed as though aomething aaid in her ear: "He will lovo her; 1 know he will love her."
So it appeared thnt Lucy Malcom's arrival was causing some lieart-buruing in Stockburn nelgiiborhood. All un¬ conscious of this, Luc.j'—the soundest, plumpest, merriest little maiden ever seen—tripped out of the stage wlien the driver had brought hia li.-irsea to. Thero was a |mir of sparkling black cj'^3 adorning her rosy fnce, aud her laugh rang out as clear as a silver bell. Lucy had various parcels, bug ami books, wliich she shed about aa such little minxea will; nnd a j'oung man, who had got down from the siage to assist lier in alighting, gathered them up and handed them back. He waa evidentlj'a town-bred man, with white hands, and a downward look, and too little chin, and a carefully kept mous- tncbe. Lucy took her things from him iu a pretty, jietnlant sort of a way, giv¬ ing liim a curt little bow, and the next moment they were all on the grouud, and she had her arms hugged tiglitly round Uuele Dorset's neck.
"Don't you mean to give me one of them,cousin Lucy?" inquired Enoch, leaning in one of his naturally grace¬ ful postures against the gate, as the kisse-s went Hj'iiig about, "I think I ouglit to come in for my share."
The .s.aucy little maid shook her black trcssea very decidedly, making eyes at Enoch, Aunt Dorset thought, just as Lucy Parkea used to do ; aud the next moment, in one of her capricious fits, she embraced young Job with ber cliubbj' little arms and gave him a -sounding smack. From that time her flirtation with Enoch maj- have anid to have begun.
" Who ia that spruce-looking j'Oung follow who helped you outof thestage, Lucy?" inquired Annt Dorset, gazing through lier honest old specs. " Is he an acquaintance of yours ?" The j'oung mnn had mounted lo the driver's seat while tlie operation of getting the trunk ofT was in progress, aud appear¬ ed to be watcliiug the group In the yard under the locust treea with con¬ aiderable iutereat.
"Oh, I believo he has got Imsiuea somewhcro around here,' returned Lucj- Willi au iudifl'erent toss of her head. "He waa very civil to me on the journey."
" 1 am afraid you are a bit of a flirt, child," aaid Aunt Dorset. And then she thought to heraelf, "Her mother was before her; pitj-if she shouldn't be."
" Jle a flirt! O, Auntie!" and Lucy's black ej'es rolled up, and her mouth puckered itself into a dewy, roaj-excla¬ mation point.
They were in the house now, and Aunt Dorset had shown her niece up to tiie best room, shut up as the best roonis are npt to be in the country, null rallier heavy with old mahogany fur¬ niture, and a high-posted bedstead, wilh ita dimity toaster nnd mountain of feathers. The momeut the dump¬ ling of a Indy had trotted out of the room to felcli somethiug that had been forgotten Lucy slipped to lho window, puslied back the blinds, and let her handkerchief flutter out in the breeze. Strange to say, there was an answering signal from the top of the stage.— Enoch, who was lingering below in the yard, saw the manoeuvre, and said to himself: " She's aregular little case. I believe she knowa more about that fellow thnn she pretends."
Lucy had beeu brought up in a town of considerable size, where French fashlous prevailed; and she had bro't all her litlle gauds and furbelows to Stockburn, with the hope of electrify¬ ing tlio natives, for her soul was by no meaus above such feminine triumphs. She opened her trunk, and hung sume triukets about herplump little persou, aud uestled some bows of cherry rib¬ bon umong her glossy black curls. She went dowu staira just before tea,
'! How nice itjs here!" said ; Lucy, looking out of the sitting-room win¬ dow at the sunny old garden. "Ihave always  been cooped up in town, XJa-
cle Dorset; and now you mustteach me to be aconntry girl."--^
" I s'pose you think, don't you," in¬ quired the old gentleman, "that some cowssiye b!i(t^rmilk.-j.iist as. Mr. Hill- oiyer'S: n.lece did .wben she came up here on a" visit froin York."
"Perhaps I do," returned Lucy, archly, bursting .Into a merry laugh ; "ami then you know I solemnly be¬ lieve that potatoes grow on bushes."
"Doyou see Lucy smuggled up to yonr father, and he looks as pleased ns old Cuffy," aaid Aunt Dorset to Job, as she put a drawing of tea in the pot.— " There's a good deal of the eat about that gal. Tho Parkeses have all got it, overy one of them."
" 1 wouldn't mind having her purr around me," respouded Job in his dry way.
They were seated at the pleasant tea- table now. Enoch had come in, and Lu¬ cy waa the ceutreof everybody's atlen¬ tion. In spite of Lord Byron's churl¬ ish opinion, ahe waa perfectly charm¬ ing while engaged with her knife nud fork.
"Tell me, Enoch," inquired ahe, " are there any nice girls In this neigh¬ borhood 7 I don't cnre a fig for your J-oung men (there was a sly twinkle iu her eye)—they are horrid, conceited creaturea; but I ahould like to get ac¬ quainted wilh a nice girl."
" Nancj-Eaynor ia our next ueich- bor'a daughter," said Uncle Dorset, " and she is aa likely a girl its ever was raised here in Stockburn."
" Siie haa got what I call pretty man¬ ners," put lu Aunt Dorset, dishing out the stewed quinces. " Most of the girls now-a-days are too brnzeii lo suit my old-fashioned notions."
"Ask Enoch about her," said Job with a droll w-ink.
"0, yes," struck in Uncle Dorset; "Enoch and Nancy nsed to bo very thick, and I can't sa.v whether it's her fault or his'n that thej- don't hitch horsea auy more."
Enoch colored as he bent over hi! plate, and Luey cast a mischievous glance at him.
"Nancy dou't come here as ofteu as ahe used to," eaid AuntDorset, pouring out the old gentleman's cup of tea aud pulting in what he called a "long sweetening." "Slie ain't the kind of girl to let anj'young man think she's goiug to break her heart about him.— She's an independent little piece, if she doea look aa if butter would melt in her mouth. All the Enynora are hard- bitted."
Enoch looked really annoyed uow, and kept hia ej'ea fixed on liis plate to avoid Lucy'a wicked liltle glances.
Suddenly helooked up aud eaid to her :
"If J'OU got acquainted with Naucy you oan wave your pocket Iiandker- uhief out e^f the -wioUuw. X believe J'OU like that sort of thing."
Now it was Lucy's turn to cast down her eyea.
The house was full of fun and music, just as Uncle Dorset had predicled.— Lucj- kept things prettj- well stirred up, and plotted agninst Aunt Dorset's ateady, jogging, old-faaliloned ideas.— .She wanted to have her fingers in everybody's pie. Sho meddled wiih. cooking, and made mortified-looking cakes tbat nobotly could eat.
"'Pears to me that these biscuits have got the measles," said Uucle Dorset oue morning, as ho bioke one open decorat¬ ed with a'number of yellow ej'e.s.
"I mado them, dear," said Luc.v, looking so penitent. "Youkuow I've beeu brought up iu dreadful ignorance; bul now I am learning to cook, for I expect to marry a poor man—perhaps a farmer." .\nd sile cast such a gluucc at Enoch that Auut Dorset look the alarm. That same forenoon, while Enoch was .down in the Evans' lot, mending a pieco offence, to keep Squire Brldgani's caltle out, his anxious moth¬ er nppenred, with her apron over her head.
"Look liere, Enoch," said she ; "the neighbors hnve got it round that j-ou Inteud to make a match with Lucy Mal¬ com. I wouldn't be quite so partiekler toward her,   if I   wa.s   j'ou.    It never
ry."
"The neighbors maj- just mind their own business," said Enoch, angrilj', aa he hammered away at a board.
"Tut, tut," returned ills mother, who had a temper of her own. "It takea a flirt to calch a fiirt; aud I shouldn't wonder if you and Lucy were weil- niatched. To apeak plain, I don't think you have treated Naucy Kaynor right; aud tbe daj' maj' come when you will find what a true heart la worth."
In apite ofall ihis. Aunt Dorset likeit the creature. Lucy compelled liking from those who did uot approve of her. She waa disorderly and upsettiug, and shocked the old ladj''s ideas of method aud regularity; but atill ahe would bear more from her thnn from anybody elae. Job liked Lucy'a spirit of fun.— She waa not too big to phiy toni-boj', and follow the boya inlo the field and ride home ou a load of pumpkins, look¬ ing Iikea little queen amid her golden treasure. She had seen Nancy Kaynor in the aingers' aeat at church, ofa Suu¬ day moruing, but that was aa near as the two girla had approached e.ach other. In response to Lucv'a teasing. Aunt Dorset had invited the neigh¬ bors to tea; but on llie afternoon of the day appointed Naucy Iiad sent to anj' that abe raust bo excused, on account ofa bad headache. Job comforted Luey bj' aaying that Nancy would surely come to the husking-bec ; but Naucj' as she lay awake iiiglita, with the tears wetting her cheeks, thought to herself that she would not go and witness the girl's triumph. From her place of van¬ tage bj- the window, with her face looking pale nnd her breath coming fast, she had watched Enoch pass by in the moonlight, with Lucj-claapiug his arm and gazing up in his face, and she almost despised herself because siie could not see it unmoved.
Enoch waa bewitched by Lucj'; but the bewitching did not go very far. He was a young man who had a very good opiniou of himaelf, and his constancy had uol. been developed. Ho liked to have a number of giris fond of him, and ho thought it was rather a flno thing to cool olT towarda flame aa he had done to Nancy Itaynor. Still, with her innocent pusay-like waj'a Enoch dlatrusted Lucy. He hatl caught her sending billets privately to Mlddletown by the farm-hand Zeke; and he had not forgotten lier adventure in tlie stage-coach.
Tlie preparations for the liusking-bee were almost corapliite, and Jjiicy was quite wild with deliglit. The big barn was to be nicely illuminated, nnd tne supper of pumpkin-pie, doughnuts aud cider to be spread In the kitchen after the good old orthodox fnaliion. Afterwards the great barn floor w.-us lo he cleared, and black fiddlers, engaged at Middlelowii, were to jilay for dan¬ cing.
Two daj's before the husking bee was to come off Lucy made Job an apple- pie bed. Job meant to be even with her, aud the next afteruoon ho called up the stairway:
"Cousin Lucj-, don't j-ou want to take a ride beliind Brow-ii Betty ?"
Lucy was of course delighted with the proposition. So she stepped to tho windowa and peeped through the blinds; and there was Browu Betty hitched to thesnlkj-—a ligbt, airy thing, thatlogked as if made of cobwebs, with the tinlestof backless seats hung in the middle. Luey appreciated the joke, and, while Job ran bnck to the carriage house lo get hia coat, she slipped tlown stairs and uutiitched Brown Bett,v and was off dowu the road like a flash.
" O, maaay to ua," acreeobed Aunt Dorset, running to tliedoor. "Thut child wiil surely get killed. .She dou't know nothing about driving, and the mare is skittish as a colt!"
Job daslied out of tlie carriage house, looking crest-fallen enough. " She's a plucky little piece of baggage," said he; "and there's no use tryiug to get ahead ot her. Don't worrj', mother; Lucy is able to take eare of heraelf." There certainly was a sweet little cherub somewhere up aloft, wlio looked out for audacious Lucy. In an. hour's time ahe came back, with a demurely wicked gleam iu her eye. Brown Betty had evidently beeu put through her paces. Lucy thrsw down the linea with a professional air, and ordered Job to give her nag some water, " for ahe is as dry as a contribution box," she ad¬ ded ; " aud I would like to know who ia a little sulkj- now."
Lucy explained later, that accidently ahe had met Mr. Allen, the young mau who waa so polite to her in the stage. In return for turning her horse around shehad asked him tocometo tho husk¬ ing bee. 	
The uight iif the husking hee had .eaiue, and Milton Baynor was blacking fats boots at tbe2back door of the farm house.
" Aren't you Kolng over to Dorset's to nigbt?" he Inquired of his sister. "No,.1 am not."
V Now, I would If I was you, Nancy. It don't look well for you to stay cooped up here at home. Folks will begin to say you are love-sick."
" I don't care what they say," re¬ turned Kancy, and her voice sounded harsh and metallic in her ears. She went up to her room and sat down by tho littlo.window, that waa festooned by the Virginia creeper, burning with a deep autumnal crimaon. The moon¬ light waa falliug still and white on the stubble-flelda and belts of wooda. It blanched Nancy's face—uot a patient nor submisaave face. Her eyes might hnve read n poem that lovely evening, but they were full of trouble. Sho wanted to cruah out the constancy and devolion in her heart; but she knew not liow to do It. She was too restless to stay within doora; so she wrapped her head and shoulders in a shawl, aud glided out iuto the shadow of the trees along the roadside until she came near¬ ly opposite to Uncle Doraet'a houso, where ahe could aee the light from the barn, and catcli the aounii of fun and frolic from the huskera. She waa haunted by au irrational deaire to apy upon Enoch and Lucy, and to conflrm wiiut she so mucli dreaded to fiud tiuo. Mr. Allen arrived early, and with his white hands, hia want of cbin, black moustache, nnd eitj--made clothea, qulle captivated tho ruatio beauties of Stockburn. But Nelly Blake, a blue- e.yed litlle blontle, received a much larger ahare of hia alleulion tlian Lucy Malcolm did; although Lucj-iu her scariet spencer aud black skirt, below whicii peeped the trimmest of ankles aud tidiest of buckskin shoes, waa cer¬ tainlj' verj' charming. She waa alwaj-a with Enoch, laughing and sparriug and flinging back her bright, saucy wit. Enocli had just whispered to her that if he found the red ear she would have to sufler, when some one screamed thul Mr. Allen h.ad found it. The dove-cote was ruffled, and the girls scampered over the piles of corn and hid in tlie horse-stall-s, trying to avoid the penal¬ ty of a kiss. At last tho j-oung man took after Lucy, and tlio light-footed minx gave him a chase around the barn, and then ilushed away througli the door into the open light, he after her, and the ring of her silver laugh was the last that was heard of litlle Lucy.
In the confusion nobody missed them. The whole companj' went to supper prettj' soon, uml more thau half nu hour had iiassed, when Enoch came and took hold of Job's coat-sleeve. They stepped outaide the kitchen tloor, and theu Enoch snid in an agitated wliisper:
" Kor Heaven's aid.-B. wbere is (•niisin Lucy ? That fellow Allen has disap¬ peared, too. Can It be tiiatslie ia play¬ ing one of her prauka? Father haa goue to bed. Don't speak to motlier yet. Get a liglit and come up to her room witll me."
The two brothers slipped up tbe stair- ease into Lucj-'s chamber, whero tlie moonlight was lying quietly upon the carpet. Everything aeeraed aa usual, ouly a note luy upou the bureau, atl- dressed to Uncle Dorset, in Lucy's pret¬ ty, girlish handwriting. Enoch snatch¬ ed and tore it open. It read as follows: " Dou't be cross and scold rae, that's a dear. I'm going to marry Charley Farnsworlh.- He isn't Mr. Allen at all. I think pa lins been very cruel townrds Chnrlej'. He wouldn't let him come to tbe house, because he wna a little wild. But uow Charlej' has reformed aud don't drink n drop, and if he couldn't get iuto busiuess. I'ra sure It was not his fault, poor fellow. The onlj- busi¬ ness he had in Mlddletown was in see¬ ing me. Maybe you will think I am to bliime ; but I tlo love Charley to dia- Iraclion, aud weniennto get married this very uiglit. Nobodj- need follow us : for it will be too late "
Perhaps Euocli ultered an oath; at auy rate he cruslied the note in his baud. "Oo down stars. Job," said he, "and try to keep the folka agoing. Get up a dance if you can.   Don't t--"

one of the farm horaes, and wo can bring the crazy girl lo her seuse. Tbe fellow looked to me like a sneak, aud I dare say he is afler Uucle Horace's money. Wou't the oldgentlemanfume, though."
Enoch teu minutes later was spur¬ ring along the moonlight road, when lie caught sight of a fluttering garment amoug the trees by the way. • " Who is there?"hecaljed outsharp- ly. Asno anawer came, he alighted, took the bridle over hia unn, aud ruah¬ ed Into the shadows.
" It's me, Nancj- Kaynor," said a faint voice.
¦ " You, Nancj', out alone this time of night? .Did you aeo any body pass herean liour back'*" heasked hurriedlj', "I'm afraid my cousin, Lucy Malcolm, haa made a fool of herself, and gone olT with a scamp that ha» beeu hanging about here ever since she cnme."
Nancj- had often thought iu just wliat scornful tones she would speak to Enoch Dorset, if he ever chanced to be humiliated iu her presence, but now the opportunity had come and all her viiidicilvene.S3 had vanislied.
"And do you care so very much about her?" she asked in a falleriug voice.
"Don'tcaro in the way you think I do, Nancy." And Enoch's better na¬ ture suddenly asserted itself. "The onlj- girl I ever r^lly cared for was you, and I wasa lool anda coxcomb. I thought I could pln.y with you, nnd when I wanted to come back j-ou were as cold aa ice toward me. Of courae I deserved it. I deaerve that j-ou aliould never apeak to me again."
" Oil, Enoch! How miserable I have been," sobbed Nanc.v, aa her head went down. Enoch found a moment in which to comfort her before he leap¬ ed again on his iiorse and darted away afler the fugitives. But they were not found that night. The next day Lucy came with her gracelesa husband, and threw herself at Uncle Dorset's feet and begged him to intercede with her father. Nancj- married Enoch, and Enoch would be ready to .shoot auj-- boilj' who should ever hint tliat he doea not love his wife dearly.

THE NEW TOBK TRIBII.\E,
1870.
.Through Btniggle and sufi'ering, at the cost of mnltlform agonies, bereavemenla, devas¬ tations, the American Idea embodied in Ibn preamble to our fathers' Declaration of Inde¬ pendence approacli es Its complete rcalizatitiu. The noblo, inspiring assertion that "all men are created equal," and endowed by tlieir Cre¬ ator with Inalienable rights to life, liborly, and tbe pursuit of happlue.'s. Is no longer a glittering generallt.v. a poet's fancv. a philoso¬ pher's speculation, but the rceognizr-d base of our political fabric. The beoigu Kevolutlnn. wbicb dates from the Boston .Massacre of 1771', finds Its loglral completion. Just ouo century later, in tho XVth Amendment, which givi-s to tne equal political aod civil righla of every man born or naturalized in our Republic lho shield and defense ofthe Federal Con-slitu- tlon. Tho billows of Caste and Privilego may roar and ragearoiind thntrock. nnd may tran¬ siently seem oo the point of wiL-,hliig it.iway: but Its foundations are deep-Ial.I and .stead¬ fast, and the broalcers of Reliction ami Slavery are hurled ngalnst aud dash their spray fiver It In vain.
-We do not underrato the forcesof Predjudico and Aristocracy. We do not lorget that ft very largo minorlly of the American Peopio still bold In their inraOHt hearts thatBlacks bave no rights which Whites nre bouud to respect. We fuliy Bpnreclale Ihe desperation wherewith all the warring elemefilsof hatred to Republican Mchlevemeiit will be combined and hurled ugainst thebattloinenlsof lleonbllcanascend¬ ency in the Presidential Election ot 1,S72. Wo do not doubt tbat local succwsi-s. racllitaleil by Republican fends ami dl,selislons, will In¬ spire the nharglng host with asangnlne hopo or victory, such ils ncvred It to nut o-m, im n»- most.sti-.'tigllt In the earner stage of the con¬ tests of ISOl and ISiK. Yet our faith is clear anil slrong that tbe American People still bless (iod that, on tho red hntlle-fields nfunr hue Civil War, the Union was upheld anil Slnvery ilestioyed, and will iie\-er eou.sclonsly decide that Ibe precious blood thereon poured out was lavished lu vain.
TheTKiEl-.in believes In Iho prosecution of the great struggle by leglllmate means lo beii- efieeutends. ¦ro.SlnleSovcreignl.v.ilopposes Indissoluble Natlonnl Intecrilv: to Mavery for Blacks.

It would fain do ila utmost i„ hasten the glad day wben thesouth shall vb- wltli Iho Nnrth in eiiiltation und gralitude over the disappearance of the last trnee or talntof that spirit which impelled Jl.-in loex- ull in the ownership and chattelhood of his fellow man.
Profoundly do we realize Ihat tho contest Is notyetended—that Millions monrn, more or less publicly, thedownfall of lbe slaveholders' Conl^deracy, and rear their children to hate those by whoae valor and constancy Us over¬ throw was achieved. If we ever seem lo illl- fer e-ssentlally from otber Kepublicans, onr conviction that magnanimity Is never wealc ness. that vengeance Is never pollllc. and that devils nre not csst out by BeolzeUnb, must .servo to explain alleged eccentricities whose perfect vindication we leave to Time aud Eu- Ueclluii.

Rpgnrdlng babllnal Mlene.>^s as lb.- greatest foe to human progress, the bane oi human hiippliie.s.s. we seek ui win our couut¬ rymeu In masses from the ensnaring lures ol' Hpeculatpni. of Tranic. and of always over- crowiled Profossious, lo the tranquil paths nf Produelive I ndustry.
