Agnin Isnt before the grate, and as I watched the glowing embers, I read the history of a lite struggle there. A wo man knelt, ami with clasp-d hands and quivoring lips, sent up her sad cry to Heaven. Loving, but unloved ; trusting, cringing, but deserted, was the record that I rend"upon those agonized features, tr-hc natal have help to bear this great sorrow, and, in her unguish of spirit, she flies to tho All-loving, the Ail-merciful, for aid. Loll** she kncP, and prayed, with straining eyes, ami uplifted hands. Then a glimmering light was seen, and a bright, shining fbi in stood beside her. It was the bright, glad angel of Hope. With a soft, caressing touch, she laid her bund upon the bowed head, and lilted i. up. Shu spoke words of encouragement, that cheered the failing heart, and with a firm, steady hand, she pointed cheerful ly and hopefully ibto the futuro. The cry grew calmer, ami then ceased, and she arose, with the light of hope shining in her clear, dark eyes, that had been so dimmed with tears. "1 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 sail, sustaining her when weak, ever pointing bravely into the future. Often the time seemed long, ami the bitter tear drops fell. Often her heart grew faint, and her courage almost failed, hut 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, she listened anxiously for the footsteps that came not. Years came and went, and still she hoped and piayed, watched and waited. Will her bright hopes ever be realized ? The scene changed, and again 1 suw her standing in the shadows, but not alone. Joy and love sparkled in her soft, dark eyes, and made bur face beautiful, as she laid her hand in that of tho wan derer, with jierfect faith und trust.? Years had not quenched her love, or the dark waters of coldness and neglect overwhelmed it; and with heart knit to heart, and hand clasped in bund, they went out together into the futuro. As they passed from sight a glow of radiant brightness fcems to ling :r where their feet had rested, and in that light 1 saw another vision revealed. A vision of years to come?of two hearts made patient, and strong, nnd brave, by the weary waiting, the sorrow nnd repentance, each serving the other with a s*ilf sacrificing devotion. The work of tho angel was accomplish ed. The Wng, years weary waiting had seemed shoctair for her presence.?Hope had now become a glad reality; and, with "A niKtling, a* of wings in flight. An upward gleam of lessening light, So passed the vi?ion: sound, and sight. . "But round me, like a silver bell Rung down the listening sKy to tell Of holy help, a sweet voice fell.

C, Nov. 22, 1872. The Jcnken.scs of tho local press here have been overhauling the military Major Domos of the White House, regarding the writing of the Presidential message, and the public are informed that none but special visitors will be received by tho Presiuent while he is engaged on the message which', as usuul, wili take about ten days, devoting two hours each day tolhc work, making in all about twenty hours. The impression sought to becou veyed is, that Grant writes the message, and does the job quietly. From the dic tion, ami the matter contained in them, lie night well be 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 as some sanguine reformers euy ho will, and secure the backing of his friends in Con gress to carry out what he is going to promise, there will be a general joy over his conversion, but. with tue experience of the past, one caunot be hopeful of his future. CrVIL SERVICE reform. ' The Presidont will find* that his civil service reform will not bring him that peace which he so dearly loves. The politicians see their patronage about to s'ip from the'r grasp, and Ulysses will find them about his ears like a swarm of bees shortly, for what they lose is in directly gained to him, which was the purpose of the policy. The negro Fred. Douglass in his jntpcr, the New Ern? pitches into the civil service reform and says that the hoard of broken down school masters, who are to examine the applicants for office iu rcadin', ritin', and 'rithnmtic, will give tho office to the one who passes the best examination, though he be a noisy Democrat, or a pardoned rebel. That is how the civil service re form works in practice. The Republi can here endorses the views ?xpressed by the Era, that it is advisable to exclude rebels and Democrat*}, and to this end the civil service rules should be so chang ed as to confine its workings exclusively to the faithful, which it thinks General Grant intends shall be the case. All this will not niter the case as it now stands of a Struggle between the President and the Senators and members of. Congress for power, which will create lively times be fore it is over. extension of the session. The proposition to extend the session over a couple of the spring months by rc-.'tmcting tho law of I8t?7, which pro vides that 'each new Congress meet on March 4th, meets with almost unanimous favor from those members of Congress who have already arrived 'here. There arc eighty-three bills which along with other legislation enn scarcely receive the attention of Gongt ess 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. tiik eirerai. repuiu.icans In Congress may expect to be maligned by their former political friends on every available occasion. The Radical journ als hero aro gloating over the avowed purpose of General Ranks and Governor Rlair 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 Trumbull denies the statement that ho intends to resign his seat in tho Senate and will wait his displacement from the head of the Judiciary Committee, which he, of course, expects to lose on the re ;orgftflitation of the S?rnato c?mhflttees*. T^hie Sen'rttor says thai Mr. Wasliburne is not n candidate for the Illinois United rotates Scnatorahip, aud that Governor OgleSby w!the one who will succeed hiin in'the Senate'. He believes that Mr. Grceley's defeat was not owing to any lack of zeal on the part of the Democratic leader* but of. apathy among the rank ?ahd-'ftle. I **' A LIBEL 8UIT. Yesterday General Allen Rutherford Commenced suit against C\ lonel John W. Forney, of the Philadelphia Press, for libel. Forney charged Rutherford with being engaged in the North Carolina and remisylvnnin election frauds, ami bos re fused to make retraction after baring f/wice been requested to do so. The dam ages are laid at ten thousand dollars. Rather a ticklish experiment for an ac tive Radical politician, under Cameron's orders,' to try to prove that he has a rep utation for honest}. ' ? SHE SrEAKEBSHIP. The name of Horace Maynard will be presented for the Kpcakership of the next Congress. It is hardly probable that ho or, any one can command strength enough to beat Bluiue who is quite popidnr with I |he majority of the'Radical members. ' THE FREE ZONE. ^ The commission appointed to investi gate fhc outrages committed on the Rio Grande will give their report to thoPres Went to-day. The cause of all these troubles is' the establishment of the "Free Zone" by Mexico, and to all the appeals <>i President .Grant, to Mexico to remove ?SKe ?inwc?"of these outrages?, nothing ha? been done but promises to restrain the lawless invasions from that Republic. The President will recommend legislation by Congress to remedy the mutter. INCREASE OF SALARIES. The President proposes advocating an increase of compensation to heads of De partments and bureaus, und to allofficiuls holdi.ig responsible positions and requir ing ability to fdl them and will recom mend in his message an increase of salaries equal at least to the rate of compensa tion paid to priyalc parties. The Presi dent contends that true economy demands this in governmental Hervice. There is no doubt thai small salaries is false economy in either public or private service. There ure to my certain knowl edge very few oHicials here who receive sufficient pay to enable them to support a family respectably, nnd those whose position force them to entertain, do so from their private means if they arc 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 were awurded io gross at Geneva, is now being prepared at the State Department and will be given to the committees on Foreign A Hairs soon as Congress assembles. A WRONG IMPRESSION Prevails in regard to the tenure of office of Cabiuot Ministers. It being held by prominent officinls hero that Cabinet officers are not required to tender their resignation nt the end of the Presidential term, nor is the President obliged to rc nppoint if he wishes to letaiu his advis ers. Dressing and Diplomacy. The Pull Mall Gazette, of September i) says: Ladies and others who take an interest in variations of costumes will pick up some useful hints by studying the pro ceedings of tho three Emperors at Berlin. Seldom, indeed, have three sisters in one family displayed such ingenuity in this respect as that exhibited by their ma jesties at the great court dinner served in the White Hall on Suturdny cveuiug. The Emperor of Austria, says the tele gram, wore a Russian uniform and a Prussian order, the Emperor Alexander a Prussian uniform and an Austrian order, and the Emperor William an Austrian quiforo with the Russian order of St. Andrew. No two emperors, it will beobsuved, were dressed, alike ami. 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 Austrian uniform with a Prussian order, and the Emperor William in a Russian uniform with an Austrian order. If would require a fatiguing amount of arithmetical k nowl cdge to calculate, the various changes their Majesties will be able to ring on the cofntaoTi wardrobes they have thus pleasantly established, but we may take it for granted that Ulis interchange of clothing angnrs wcU for the peace.of Europe; at nil events, it is quite impos sible that war could be declared until each Emperor kod retired to his own dressing-roora and put on his proper hab iliments. X sudden appeal to arm?, when the Emperors were dressed in the wrong uniforms would,lend to such seri ous complications that even Prince Bis marck himself would shrink from crea ting the conflagration. How Kings and Queens Have Died. Queen Victoria completed her fifty-third year, May 24, as 1819 was her birth year. She can hardly be called old, though she has entered upon the decline of life?and. in England they do not count fifty-three as so advanced a time as We count it, English sovereigns till later, times, were not long-lived persons, and,.,passed?aivay rapidly; thanks to bard Hyfogi, hardiri-: ding, hard eating, Ijiard fightingj tbarbpd: arrows, sharp axes, pointed daggers, and red hot pokers. William I^diedjfrom a ? saddle-pommel being driven upon his "dig ; stomach?or, perhaps we should say, from his big stomach having been driven agaiust a saddle-pommel. William II, it is supposed, from Walter Tyrrel's arrow. Fenry I from much grief and more lampreys. Stephen from the lilac passion?which i? a fine unmc for ex treme colic. Ileny II from fever, brought on by rage. Riehard I by the arrow of Bertram! de Gourdou. John, from eat ing too many peaches, and washing them down with too much new ale?though peaches never hurt any one yet, and you can't cat too many of 'em, save that they are so confounded costly; and had John joined the total abstinence society, and kept the pledge, he might have lived fifty years longer, to bo an} thing but a blessing to his subject's, particularly the Jews, to whom he was dentist in ordinary. Henry III went off from a sort of fever. Edward I (Longshanks) from dysentery nnd general weakness, which made it impossible to use his long legs either iu walking or riding. Edward II was killed with a hot poker. Edward III expired from a gcueral decline, at the grand cli macteric. Kichnrd IPs head came iuto collision with Sir 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 dysentery, after escaping the dangers of Azincomt. 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? ami others that he died of frenzy, on huariug some bad news, which was the more strange because he had seldom heard anything else during his life. Ed. ward V is snid to have been smothered by his undo Richard, who had pressing occasion for his throne?but the story rests on slender evidence. Richard 111 (lied by the sword, on Bosworth field. Henry VII was worn out by anxiety and trouble. Henry VIII died frc.ni exces sive fat Edward VI died young, from debility. Mar}' I from dropsy. Eliza beth from care, uneasiness; jealousy, and perplexity. James I from tertian - ague and mental mortification. Charles I met with u fatal accident; the edge of Gregory Brandon's sharp broad axe fell upon him between the head and should ers, just at the moment he had olneed his throat on a dull block; Chu.?_.> ^.L died from apoplexy; and so did his brother James II. Mary II from small-pox; and her oonsortand co-king,WillianvIII, from a complication of complaints, which the stumbling of his horse, whereby hi* collar bone wan broken, brought to a crisis. Anno died from apoplexy, or from some'similar complaint,. brought on by indigestion, as she wots a very gross liver, and to a surfeit of black cherries lias been assigned the occasion of her dissolution. George I died in a Bt^ ' ih'his 'iarrfagt', while on his way to nTs^doVcffl Hf imviT. anoTTJeorge llaiea even as suddenly, of a lit in his closet, George Ill's death was from old age, and a general decline of all the powers. George iV's death was immediately occasioned by congestion of the lungs, but he had been much troubled.by. gout and dropy, and by other, complaints. William IV died froirn ossification of the heart ' , Kings are very human, and their sove reignty cannot keep oflVieknessrnor their dignity hedge out death. Fixed Ideas.

Now, there dwells in Jefferson County, Wisconsin, a worthy German, who a few years ago was presented by his wife to a son. Hans said to her: "Katrine, dat ish goot." A couple of years later, the good wo man placed before his astonished gate a bouncing pair of twins. "Veil," said Hans, "dat vash potter ash der oder time; I triuks 'more as ten glass peer on dat." ' But the good woman next time gave birth to triplets, nud that made him "spoke mit his moot shust a lidiDe. "Mein Gott, Katrine! vat ish do mat ter on you ?
