Again I sat before the grate, and as I wntehetl the glowing embers, I road tho history of a lifo struggle there. A wo man knelt, ami with clasped hands and quivering lij>s, ?dt up her end cry to Heaven. Loving, but unloved ; trusting, cringing, but deserted, waa the record that I rend upun those agonized features. She lu.usL have help to bear this great sorrow, and, in her anguish of spirit, she flies to tho All-loving, the All-merciful, for aid. Ijong she kncP, and prayed, with straining eve*, and uplifted hands. Then a glimmering light was seen, and a bright, shining fof m titood beside her. It was the bright, glad ungel of Hope. With a soft, caressing touch,she hud her baud upon the bowed head, ami lifted i. up. Shu spoke words of encouragement, that cheered the failing heart, and with a firm, steady iiand, ehe fannied cheerful ly and hopefully .iote the future. The cry grew calmer, and then censed, and she arose, with the light of hope shining in her clear, dark eyes, that had been eo dimmed with tears. "I will hope/' she. murmured; "I must hope." Days, weeks and months went by, and still the angel walked by her side, cheer ing her when sad, sustaining her when weak, ever pointing bravely into the future. Often ihc time seemed long, and the bitter tear drops fell. Often her heart grew faint, and her courage almost failed, but the good angel did not desert her. Every morning was cheered with the sweet hope,, that before another set ting sun, the dear wish of her heart would bo realized, and the beloved one return; and through the dark hours of each night, hhc listened anxiously for the footsteps that came not. Years came and went, and still sho hoped and piaycd, watched and waited. Will her bright hopes ever be realized? - The scene changed, and again I saw her standing in the shadows, but not alone. Joy and love spark led in her soft, dark eyes, and made her face beautiful, as she laid her hnnd in that of tho wan derer, with perfect faith ami trust.? Years had not quenched her love, or the durk waters of coldness and neglect overwhelmed it; and with heart knit to heart, and hand clasped in hand, they went out together into the future. As they passed from sight a glow of radiunt brightness teems to ling :r where their feet had rested, and in that light I saw another vision revealed. A vision of years to come?of two heart* inado patient, and strong, and brave, by the weary waiting, the sorrow and repentance, each serving the other with a self sacrificing devotion. The work of the angel was accomplish ed. The long, years weary waiting had seemed sbuhtm? for her presence.?Hope had now become 4 glad reality; and, with "A rustling, as of wings inflight. '. ? An upward gleam of lessening light, 80 passed the vision, soand, and sight. , '. , "But round me, like a ?lver bell Bung down the listening sKy'fo tell Of holy help, a sweet voice fell.

Washington, D. C, Nov. 22, 18712. The Jenkenses of the local pres.* here have been overhauling the military Major Domos of the White House, regarding the writing of the Presidential message, and the public nre informed that noue but special visitors will be received by the President while bo is engaged on the message which', ns usual, wili take alums ten days, devoting two hours each day to the work, making in nil about twenty hours. The impression sought to be con veyed is, that Grant writes the message, and docs the job quietly. From the dic tion, and the matter contained in them] lie caight well he the author, and in the time (specified, but competent judges con tend that a fist* other than his is easily recognized in them. Well, if he will only turn, over a new political .leaf us some sanguine reformers say ho will, and secure the backing of his friends in.

The politicians see their patronage about to slip from the'r grasp, and Ulysses will Hud them ubout his ears like a swarm of | bees jdiortl), for what they lose is in directly gained to him, whieh was the purpose of the policy. The negro Fred. Douglass in his paper, the New Er?) pitches into the civil service reform and says that the hoard of broken down school masters, who are to examine the applicants for office in read in', ritin', and 'rithmntic, will'give the office to the one who passes the best examination, though he he a noisy Democrat, or a pardoned rebel. That is how the ciyil service re form works in practice. The Republi can here endorses the views ?>x pressed by the Era, that it is advisable to . exclude rebels and Democrats, and to this cud the civil service rules should he so chaug ed as to confine its workings exclusively to the faithful, which it thinks Gcucral Grant intends shall be the case. All this will not alter the case as it now stands of | n struggle between the President and the Senators and members of Congress for power, which will create lively times be fore it is over. extension ok thi: session. The projmsition to extend the session over a couple of the spring months by rt-Jimcting tho law ?f 1807, which pro vides that "each new CJongress meet on March 4th, meets with almost unanimous favor from those members of Congress who havo already arrived here. There are eighty-throe bills which along with other legislation can seareely receive the attention of Congicss by the 4th of March, as there will be considerable time lost by the holiday recess. The consider ation of matters arising out of the Wash ington Treaty will consume a great deal of time. the j.irkkai. repurlicans In Congress may expect to be muligucd by their former political fricutls on every available occasion. The Rudicnl journ als here are gloating over the avowed purpose of General Ranks and Governor Blair to resign their chairmanships on the meeting of Congress. No doubt "back scats" will be assigned all those Republi cans who left the Grant ranks. Senator TrtttfibuH deaie? the statement that ho intends to resign his seat in tho Senuto I'nd will wait his displacement from the head of the Judiciary Committee, w hich he, of course, expects; to. lose on the re organization of the Senate committees.

The President will recommend legislation by Congress to remedy the mutter. INCREASE OK SALARIES. The President proposes advocating an increase of compensation to heads of De partments and bureaus, and to all officials holdi.ig responsible position.? and requir ing ability to fill them and will recom mend in his message an increase of salaries equal at least to the rate of compensa tion paid to privntc parties. The Presi dent contends that true economy demands this in governmental service. There is no doubt that small salaries is false economy in either public or private service. There are to my certain knowl edge very few officials here who receive sufficient pay to enable them to support a family respectably, and those whose position force them to entertain, do so from their private means if they are honest, aud from their pickings if sharp. THE FISHERIES. The legislation relative to the fisheries and the report of the commission to ad judicate the claims in that which wero awarded io gross at Geneva, is now being prepared at 'he State Department and will he given to the committees on Foreign Affairs soon as Congress aaseiables.

The Pall Mall Gazette, of September D says: Ladies and others who take an interest in variations of costumes will pick up some useful hints by studying the pro ceedings of the three Emperors at Berlin. Seldom, indeed, have three sisters in one family displayed such ingenuity iu this respect as that exhibited by their ma jesties at the grunt court dinner served in the White Hall on Saturday evening. The Emperor of Austria, says tho tele gram, wore a Russinn uniform and a Prussian order, the Emperor Alexander a Prussian uniform and an Austrian order, and the Emperor William an Austrian uniforn with the Russian order of St. Andrew. No two emperors, it will beubsf ived, were dressed, alike and. all three had dipped iuto each others ward robe. Probably we shall next hear of the Emperor of Austria, in a Prussian uniform with a Russian order, the Em peror Alexander in au Adrian W1^0101 with, a Prussian order, and the Emperor William in a Russian uniform with an Austrian order. If .would] require a fatiguing amount of arithmetical, knowl edge to calculate, the various changes their Majesties will be able to ring on the eot?noon Wardrobes th,ey have thUf| pleasantly established, but we may take it for granted that this interchange of clothing augurs weil for the peace of Europe; at all events, it is quite impos sible that war could be .declared until each Emperor kad retired to hfc.'wn dressing:roora ami put on hisjpreper. hab iliments.

Henry III went off from a sort of fever. Edward I (Longshanks) from dysentery aud general weakness, which made it impossible to use his long legs either in walking or riding. Edward II was kiiied with a hot poker. Edward III expired from a general decline, at the grand cli macteric. Richard IPs head came iuto collision with 8ir Piere Exton's axe, and so was clouted beyond repair. One au. thority says he died in Scotland, having escaped from his English prison. Henry IV died of white leprosy and black care. Henry V was killed by dyuentcry, after escaping the dangers of Azincourt. Henry VI is supposed to have been killed?some sny that the Duke of Glou cester (who made himself Richard III) tickled him to death with his dagger? and others that he died of frenzy, on hearing some bad news, which was the more strange because he had seldom heard anything elfee during his life. Ed. ward V is said to have been smothered by his ancle Richard, who had pressing occasion for his throne?but the story rests on slendnr evidence. Richard III died by the sword, on Bosworth field.
