THE CHOICE.
"Which shall it be, dear mother?
To which home shall I go?
Tbe gr^'id old castle beside the sea,
Or the little brown cot below ?
"Which shall it be, dear mother?
A plain white muslin gown,
Or the richest and rarest oflace and si!k
To be found in Insleytown ?
"Which shall it be, dear mother?
A tiny plain gold ring,
Or wealth of gems or diamonds rare.
That would ransom a captive king?"
My child, your heart must answer
The question your lips have asked,
Lest sowing in pride you sorrow,
When the harvest is overpast.
Choose with your heart, my darling;
Let pride be swept away ;
Flowers are fairer than jewels,
Gather them while you may.
Often glittering diamonds
Conceal but an aching brow,
And the chill heart's bitter throbbings,
Eear record of falsehood's vow.
Truth is the brightest jewel
That womanhood can wear;
Never a silken robe can cure
A heart grown sick with care.
This world is not all sunshine,
There's many a stormy day,
And love is the sweetest shelter,
When clouds obscure the way.
So choose from your heart, my daughter.
Remember this life of ours
Must hav3 some thorns aud briers
Among its fairest flowers.
But thorns, and tears, and dark news
Matter not so love is true;
While you climb keep step together,
With tbe higher life in view.
Pittsburrj Chronicle.
FOKSAKEN.
-o
That strain of music, crashing out on
the winter night, the brilliantly illumi- |
nated window, brought it all back?the
sweet bliss of early wedlock, the bitter
pain of mistrust and separation.
Marian bad played that strain so
often on tbe little cottage piano, in her
happy, cottage home. And now forsa
ken, friendless, uuloved, she stood there
under the pitiless winter skies, with her
nameless babe upon her bosom.
As she listened, till the bitterness of
her fate, all the shame of her dishonor
ed womanhood, all tbe fond yearnings
of her deathless love were forgotten,
and the past came back with its tender
and short lived happiness.
She was a girl again, a bright, inno
cent, happy girl, standing beside her
father's grave. That first grief had
seemed, then, hard to bear; she loved
her father well, and felt, his loss keen
ly; but deeper sorrows had taught her,
sinee, that the grief we feel when death
takes a dear one from us, ceases to be
grief, compared with some of life's
darker tragedies.
In those days Marian had one loyal
friend, a young man, one of her father's
pupils. He stood beside her, when the
green sods had hidden the dear face
from her sight.
'Don't take it to heart so, Marian,'
he had said. 'Your father, of all men,
was prepared to go ; ai:d while I live,
so far as I can help it, you shall never
feel his loss.'
And be kept his promise. In a hun
dred little unobtrusive waj3, he les
sened and lightened the burthen of
: Marian's grief. She had naturally and
I instinctively, all the attributes and ac
! complisbments of a lady ; but she was
j poor, and dependent oa her own exer
| tions for the very bread she ate.
! Frank Herncastle was rich, but he
j knew Marian's proud character too well
j to offer pecuniary aid. All he could do
j was to give her a brother's counsel aud
I sympathy' He stood, her true and
j loyal friend, therefore, through all
I those dark days of her sorrow, and
I when, at last, the old parsonage was
} shut up, and the orphan girl tore her
j self away from the scenes of her child
| hood, and went to a distant town to fill
j the post of governess in a wealthy
lady's family, he left her, at last, and
I went home, trying to forget her. But
he found that he had gone too far to
forget Marian's sweet, sad face haun- }
ted him ; her gentle voice wascoutiu- j
ually ia his ears.
His worldly prospects were dazzling, j
yet, to bis honor, be held his happiness j
I dearer than mere worldly success. So, I
j dfspite the opposition of his family, j
he returned to Marian, aud wooed and j
won her for his wife.
The task was not a hard one. She \
was such a.tender, trustful, gentle crea- j
ture, that tbe gratitude iu her heart j
soon warmed into love. They were!
married and a few brief, bright
months of bliss followed.
Bui one day the young husband
j went to the neighboring village for
I letters. Returning, as he crossed the
i lawn, in front of the cottage, he chanc
j ed to look up. Through an open win- i
j dow of his wife's chamber, he caught
sikht of her. She was not alone V A i
j tail, handsome-looking man stood be- j
side her, and her arms were about his I
I ueck, her face hidden on his shoulder, j
I Most men have a spice of jealousy in !
j them, Frank Uerncastle had more j
i than bis share : it was, indeed, his one J
I fault. His heart gave a fierce throb,
i aud he hurried up with great angry |
! strides. The front door was locked,
j and when after some little dr-lay, he ,
i gained admittance, he found his wife
! alone. j
'Where is your guest Marian ?' he j
j demanded, sternly. !
She looked up at him, with tear
j staiued checks and startled eyes,
j 'My guest V Why, Frank?"
j 'I saw him,' he interrupted, sharply,
i 'Your chamber window was open,
j Who was he V
'A dear friend, fiom whom I have
I been parted for years.'
j lie laughed mockingly,
j 'He must be a very dear friend, in
' deed, Marian, why didn't he proloiig
his visit? I should have beeu glad to
' make his acquaintance.
Her lips quivered', painfully, and the
rich bloom faded from her checks, but
her clear eyes did not falter beneath his
i (questioning gare
Frank,' she 'd, tenderly, and her
i caressing hand > >uchcd his. You sure
ly can trust me' Deur, I am worthy of
your trust.'
The simple words touched him ; but
T~lTVMT~?Wl ITTT T- I II? I _
his temper was up.
'I will trust uo one id the dark,' he ;
replied, angrily. 'A wife should have
no secrets from Ler husband. You
must explain this unfortunate matter to
my satisfaction.'
Her head fell upon her breast; sobs
choked her utterance.
'I cannot explain?at least, not yet,'
she said. 'Oh, do not ask me I Trust
me, my husband, as I trust you.'
He shook the caressing hand from j
his arm. \
'No," he cried, more wrathfully than j
ever. 'Ycu shall explain, or we part, ;
this hour.'
A sudden flash lit her tender eyes.
The color leaped back to her white
cheeks.
'If you deem me unworthy of your
trust,' she said quietly, 'do as you
like'
He turned on his heel, with a bitter
laugb.
'This pays me for my foliy,' he said.
I have sacri?ced the best interests -of |
my life for your sake, and this is my j
reward. What a fool I have been !'
With the words hu was gone. All j
tlie day long, all through the starry, j
summer night she sat and waited, his f
last words ringing in her ears, 'What a
fool I have been.'
But he did notreturu. Aoother day
brought his mother, an aristocratic old j
lady, with a fair cruel face.
'I have come on a disagreeable
errand,7 she said, settling herself in the
rocking-chair, and smoothing down the
lace frills at her wrists, "but when j
duty is disagreeable we must not shirk
it. My poor, dear child,' looking coin
passionately at Marian. 'J must set mat
ters straight between you and my son.
What a pity it is that men are so proDe
to deceive, and women so willing to
trust,'
'What "do vou mean?' demanded
Marian.
'I mean this, my poor girl. Frank
was, and is, fond of you, no doubt and
you of him, but it is wiser and better
for your sake and his, that you should j
know the truth at once, since it must
come to your ears soouer or later. Yea
are not his wife. Of course such a
thing was out of the question. Don't
interrupt me, please?I will make it as
short as possible.. All that marrjage
business was a .mere sham; to quiet
your scruples. You are not his wife,
I repeat; and as his mother I am here
to beg you that this connection may
end. I may not be able to induce my
son to give you up at once; but if you
will promise to shun him, to keep out
of bis way, I will see that you are
handsomely provided for.'
.Marian rose to ber feet, all. her out
raged womanhood blazing in her eyes,
^ut the words, that rushed in a torrent
) ber lips, found no utteraucc. The
blow had struck home, like the thrust of
a dagger ; abd with one-wild, prolong
ed cry she fell, senseless, at tTfe feet of
her guest.
She awoke, to life weeks after,' to
find herself deserted. But in one
sense, '. she was well provided for.
Tbev had given her gold in lien of love.
She was a true woman, however and
scorning even to purchase a crust to
save her from starvation, with money
which was given as the price of her dis
honor, ?he went forth into the' great
world with her broken heart, and her
ruined life, friendlcs and destitute.
The world, as a rule, is never overkind.
to the unfortuuate. With all hev gen
tle beauty and her lady-like accomplish
ments, poor Marian found her path a
rugged one.
Aud on that winter.night, her cheeks
made thin and white by pangs of an
guish, tenfold more keen than death,
she crouched there on the icy steps, her
nameless babe on her bosom, homeless
friendless: tiie light of those glittering
windows above her, the straius of that
dear familiar meiod}' in her ears. But
as the dark, cold, cruel minutes went
by, her throes of paiu, aud her sweet
dreams of bygone happiness, alike grew
weaker aud dimmer. The dull stupor
of despair, the fatal drowsiness that J
precedes that solemn, endless slumber,
stilled aching heart, and throbbing
pulses; the poor, dishonored youug
head dropped lower aud lower, and at
last, 02other and child wore both un
conscious.
S'? many of us dance, and feast, and
rejoice, while the shadow of sorrow, and ;
oven death itself darkens our very j
threshold ! In the festive hails, dimly j
seen through those brilliant windows, I
Frank Hcrncastle was the gayest of the
gay. ills proud mother, bulJiug her
sou's wordly interests far dearer than
his happiness, had managed his unfor
tunate marriage with a clever hand and
a shrewd brain.
'She is false to you. That class of
persons can never be trusted,' she had
said, on her return from her visit to
Marian. 'The girl he..-" gone off vvith
her forn.cr lover ;<et her go; the
riddance is a good o.;0.'
Still smarting from his jealousy be
had believed her, and had gone to
Furope to drown his sorrow.
But sorrow is tenacious of life, j
After many wauderiugs, after mouths \
of abience, he returned, moody and bit
ter and discontented.
'She is dead. Forget she ever lived
; and marry the wife I have choseu fur
; vou,' said his mother. And believing |
; her still, he joined in the festivities
i that honored his return, with the wild
I and reckless abandon of despair.
Dance after dance, waltz after waltz,
and then came that familiar strain. It j
tore opeu the wound in his oeart afresh, j
! lie nut aside tbeicwelod hand f:rat rest- !
I ed mi his arm. aud went from the room i
like a man suddenly smitten with ill- !
I noss. 'I cannot bear it.' he muttered. 'I
shall never forget her while 1 live.'
Out of the house, dowi the steps lie
j went, ami almost stum bled o^er the un
j conscious wuinau crouching b low.
'A woman?this bitter night. And |
great heavens ! a child too!'
i He rushed back, .;d, summoucd
I help and then .hey bore the two into the
; house-keepers' room.
Impelled by common curiosity the 1
youug mau looked db'v? at the deathly
! face of the woman he had succored, as
j it lav on the pillows, A suddeu cry
j broke from bis lips.
'My God, u i? Marian !' he said.
! A mothjA^ heart defies even death.
! Th" toutJp^those t-.by hands, the
[carefi- - >lo mouth, which would
never know other love-kisses than her j
owu, awoke the mother from her trance
of ujath. She clasped the child, and j
opened her weary eyes. They rested j
on her husband
A tiash of rapture lit the poor, wan
face, the weary eyes grew luminous with i
the old love of hnppier days.
'Frank, oh ! Frank, are we in heav- j

love for her. He took her in his arms.
'Marian, Marian, you were not false

Tbe question, so wildly uttered,
roused her. She raised her hand, and
put it on his check, with the old,
caressing touch.
'Look at me,' she said ; 'Look into
my eyes, and answer that question fur
yourself."
'I have been mad,' be said, brokenlv.
'You are truth, itself?I trust you with
my whole soul.'
'Am I your wife?' she questioned,
solemnly.
'Certainly. Who told you otherwise?
My own dear wife. And fron? hence
forth, what God has joiued together, no
man shall ever again put asunder.'
He stooped down arid kissed her lips,
with passionate earnestness.
'It was all a mistake,' she said, wear
ily. 'Oh, my love! I have never
wronged yo?j, in thought word or deed.

'It is all over now, he said, hoarsely,

her. 'Marian, can you ever forgive

She put forth her arm, and drew the
babe from the pillow where it lay un

'You are my child's father,' she said,
'I can love only you.'

"WHAT IS DEMOCRACY?
Opinions Drawn Out By the Iroquois Ban
quet, In Chicago.
(Richard T. Merrick.)
The fundamental doctriuc of Democ
racy was that the world was governed
too much. Its fundamental principle j
was that, in reference to all industrial i
pursuits, man should be left to honest j
competition; without Government favor i
unon one or Government damage to :
another.
(Henry Watterson.)
Protection, like slavery, is doomed: \
ouly, unlike shivery, it will not linger |
so long upon the stage to baffle freemen j
and stay the march of freedom. It can- i
net become a sectionalism as slavery j
did; it cannot get into religion, as;
slavery did. Yet it is as monstrous in j
every respect as slavery was.
(Jcre S.Black.) |
If the States have do rights, neither |
have the neonle, since both are reserved in \
the same article, the same sentence, and j
the words. The denial of State rights I
r.eccssarily strips every individual of:
his liberty Thus we have a Central j
Government of unlimited power, ani
mated as such a Government always j
must, be vrith a boundless appetite for ;
nluuder.
(W. J. Allen.)
The Monroe doctrine never involved j
any economic principle. It was invoked j
as a great political doctriue, which be- j
came a part of the Government. The j
speaker then quoted from JefTerson, who {
held Monroe as odc of the wisest ofj
statesmen This was a doctrine which j
bad always been upheld by the Demo- \
cratic party.
(Samuel J. Tilden.)
Andrew Jackson likewise represented I
the beneficent Jeffersonian philosophy j
which prefers that nothing shall be j
done by the General Government which j
the local authorities are competent to do, j
and nothing by any governmental pow- j
er which individuals can do for them- j
selves. The great contests of his Ad-1
ministration arose out of his efforts to j
resist the usurpation by Congress of!
powers in derogation of the rights ofj
localities and of individuals, as well as j
of the Constitution.
(Thomas A. Hendricks )
It is madness to hope that a consoli- j
dated and single authority can main- ;
tain peaceful government over a couu- j
try so extended, am: wirb productions j
and iuterests so varied. If w? but main- j
tain the constitutional authority of the j
United States, aud to preserve to each
State the right to regulate whatever be- j
longs to itself alone, we need fear do :
troubles arising from sectional jealousies !
and antagonism, however much ourter- ;
ritory may be extended or our produc- j
tions increased. [Great applause.]
(Frank Hurd.)'
The freer the trade the greaterthe mar- j
ket. Let the barriers be broken down,
and let the ocean be free, and in less than
ten years one-half of the trade monopo- !
lized by England would be America's. 1
Free trade and higher wages went hand :
in haud. In a Massachusetts woollen j
mill a worker received ?S 30 for sixty j
hours' work : in England ?8 for fifty- j
four hours. Consider all the time dur- i
iug which American workers had been i
idle during the past few years, and it
would be soeu that the English worker j
was better off. In free America we !
had free speech, free press, free soil and j
free men. and should we not have free j
trade? Let Democracy liing out the j
banner. [Applause.] Thousands would j
then join its ranks. [Applause ] The j
growing generation were being educated !
to the great need of the country, aud j
would infuse the old blood with new j
enthusiasm. [Prolonged applause ]
(Thos. F. Bayard.J)
As members of the grand army of the j
National Democracy, K us each and all j
endeavor, with simple and steady fidel- j
ity, to uphold the political principles j
which alone preserve . the liberty aud i
happiness of our people, and maintain a
governmentover them giving security!
to all, aud special privileges and powers 1
to none. Let us steadily oppose all j
measures tending to the centralization j
of power, and in.-ist upoD its limitation }
aud distribution, so that individuals aud j
majorities may be secure in their rights, j
Let us denounce any eonstruetiou of the !
Constitution that permits the perversiou !
and prostitution of the sovereign powers j
oftaxntiou from the actual needs of the \
public treasury to the emolument of!
favored individuals or classes, no matter !
under what dclu.-ive pretext it may be |
sought; aud while wc see to it that {
property shall have ample protection (
under the law, that it shall be prevent- I
ed from becoming the governing power !

(Lymau Trumbull.)
He held that the Constitution was j
supreme, and even in times of civil war \
was not inoperative. He condemned '
the policy of collecting immense rev- j
enucs and squandering them upon local '.
improvement and for the hire of munici- !
pal officials. The expenditures of the j
Government were exorbitant. It was ;
proposed to appropriate ?5?,0??.O?? j
for schools, which was more than the j
whole expenses of the Government
amounted to a few years ago. Then
there were harbor and river bills, and ;
all the little creeks in the country would
be cleaned out for uo other purpose.
seemingly, than to use up the revenues. !
lie condemned the Preside??' for using j
the army as a police force, and predict- ;
cd that ir: a few years this government j
would be like European Powers regard
ing standing armies. II': believed in j
self-government, and that meant gov- i
eminent by the people, and local gov- j
crunicnt meant government by the peo- j
pie of a locality. This was Republican

Bill Arp on Spring Work.
We have been moving old fences and
cleaning up the hedge rows. There
was some old logs in the fence row that
I wanted to roll into a gully and I
prized at one with a rail for an hour
trying to get it out of its bed, when
one of the darkies came along with his
mule and a plow, and he put his mule
on one side and his plow, on the other
and moved all in five minutes without a
bit of trouble. But I'm a learning and
I don't care who I learn from. I've
never seen anybody yet that dide^t
know some things that I didn't, and
there is many an old farmer who knows
things that wise men like professors in
colleges don't. Some folks go through
a long life and observe little or nothing
and most of the boys never stop to
think but learn all they known from
books Do the boys know that when
a horse crops grass he eats back to him,
but a cow eats outward from her be
cause she has no front teeth in her
upper jaw and has to gum it. Do they
know that some kinds of snakes lay eggs
and some don't, but give birth to their
young. Do tbey know that a cane gets
its full growth in a year whether large
or small, and the limb of a tree never
gets any higher from the ground no
matter how high the tree -grows. The
boys have seen many a white . horse,
but did tbey ever sec a white colt ?
Do they know that a hop vine winds j
with the course of the sun, but a beau
vine always winds the other way? How
does a bird fly without, moving a feather ;
or flopping a wing? How does a snake |
climb a tree or a bride wall? What is
the difference between a deer's track
and a hog's track and how often does a
buck sued his horns and what becomes
of them '? Which ought to be the lar
gest the throat of the chimney or the
funnel, aud ousnit it to be wider at the
top or drawn in ? Books are a wonderful j
help, but a man ought not to be satisfied j
to go through life and be always on the j
borrow from other people's brains. He [
ought to find out some things for him-!
self, and leave a little to posterity iu j
payment for all that he has learned from
others.
