In the web of.life and death. si Sees weary hearts that deem The dark breadth is the whole, P Sees happy hear.s that dream The bright rays all their goal. Ah! !et this faith be ours That even 'mid the pain, Above the present towers, And sees the nearing gain; While, breadth by breadth, appears.

'Of course,' said Judith; and, as he spoke- .the words, a cold chill c eemed to creep, like slowly-con ;eaing ice, around her Leart._ h4 If you had consulted me as to ,our affair,' went on the young aan, 'instead of taking this extra- d< rdinary step, entii'ely without ,dvice or council-' . rE 'Yes, I riow,' hurriedly inter iosed Judith ; 'but it's over and dE iast now, so perhaps we had bet er-aOt talk about it;' The red winter sunset was blaz. ag with sullen fire above the cc ar copse in. the west; the leafless ioods hold up their black arms, n a sort of wrestling agony to ard the sky, as the bleak winds issed them to and fro, and a sol ary raven uttered his ominous roak in the woods at the back of he house. Dr. D)edling shuddered. as he oked around him, and glanced at toward the dreary swamp hat. extended toward the east. 'Such a place,' he said, 'for a lady o select to live in !' c 'It isn't very cheerful,' said Ju- c ith, 'but I have lived here all my fe, you know.' .t 'The more reason for wanting b) o get out of it now,' said the doc- t r, imnpatiently' - bi Judith was silent. She looked f It the blazing logs in~the old-fa.sh ned hearth, and tried to keep' ack the fast-rising tears. Dr. Dedling arose and took up cl is hat.. 'Then I am to consider that our lgagemen is quito at an and ?' id t1he doctor. -c 'Yes,' said Judith, in a very d ow tone.a 'Good-by !' said Dr. Dedling. 'Good-by !' responded Judith. The next moment she was alone ith. the logs, and the crickets birping on the hcarth,and the trange, weird shadows that came nd went on the wainscotteda ralls' b It was just a month to-night ince they had buried old Miles ry out of' sight. Little Judith, rho had worn herself out in tak-a g care of him, had dropped afewu ~ears on the cheap coffitn that in-U ased his remaitns, but no one ~lse had seemed particularly to e -rieve. I Mrs. Pytchley, her eldest sister, ho was married to a New York rocer, had boldly declared that ita was high time the old man took imself off the stage of this world, nd bad made no secret of her dis . .. C ppointment when it was dis ~overed that $1,000 in gold pieces epresented all his hoarded ealth, with the exception.of the ~ranbrry swamp, upon whose reary verge stood the house ; and. F his dreary property, by the terms f the will, was to be divided be. ai ween his two nieces, Judith Gray ~ ud Martha Pytchley, as they hemselves might agree. I 'I'll take the ready money,' said C rs. Pytchley, hastily. 'What v ould I do with three or four miles t f c-,--nberry swamp? 7 'Or, what could J udith do with either ? said Hobart Pytchley, ho sat whittling a pine stick be de the fire. 'I dare -say she could managei ary nicely,' said Martha. 'I've 1ard Uncle Miles say that he >ld $60 worth of cranberries one ear out of the swamp.' 'Humph!' grunted Mr. Pytchiley. 'And that's the legal interest on L,000, you know,' added his wife. Vhat do you say, Judith?' 'It makes no difference to me,' id Judith, quietly. 'It does- to me, then !' said Mrs. y tchley ; 'because, as you know ary well, Hobart's business is in e city, and we could do nothing all with a lot of swamp land )wn here in the back woods.' So Mrs. Pytehley had taken the >n's share of the old man's be iests and gone back to her-city )me, over Hobart's grocery ; and >ung Dr. Dedlihg,' who had con leritly dalculated' on at least $500 buy surgical instiuments to fit ) an office in the village adjoining $500 as the dowry of his-bride ect--broke his engagement in:a que that'Judith should have so liberately flung her fortune vay. 'A set of sharpers!' cried he, ith disgust. 'Stop, Dr. Dedling!' said Judith, loring up. 'You forget that )u are speaking of my sister and ir husband.' 'But they had no business to im >se on you thus !' exclaimed the )ctor. 'I agreed to the plan without monstrance.' Dr. Dedling shrugged his shoul 9rs. 'In that,' said be, sharply, 'you Lowed your Jack of sense! If )u had no good regard for your lf, you might have had s->me for eV! 'Was it for my money you want me ?' demanded Judith, stung the quick. Dr. Dedling colored and hesita 'A man must take monetary atters into consideration,' he And so it came about that the gagement was canceled, and Ju th .Grey was sitting teere al~one wintry twilight, silently, with asped bands and head dropped pon her. breast.. Dr. IDedling plodded home to e village, anid as he passed the ~iliant windows of the little hos dry he paused, remembering the ter cold of the winter air, the osty. influence of the breeze. 'I may as well go in atnd.warmn yself,' thought he. Mine host meot himn with a ieery air. 'Walk in, doctor ? walk in ! id he. 'Not thati room,' as Ddling me. 2anically laid his hand upon the >or-nob of the apartn-ent he usu ly entered. 'The Railway Comn ltte is'a sitting there. This ay if you please!' 'The Railway Committee!' echo Dedling. 'What Railway Comn ittee ? You don't mean that ey're actually taking any steps bout the old idea of a railway tween here and Glassville ?' les, I do,' said the landlord. t's a committee of rich capitalists, are building factories close to ie Falls; and they mean to put p a row of tenement houses all ong; and would lay down a line rails ; and don't say I mention I it, doctor, because I only uight a snatch here and there, hen I was carrying in the plates, id sitting on the fruit, and nut;s, rid wine-but it's to go right rough old Miles Grey's cranber y swamp, the railway is ! And the bairman is going to offer Miss udith $5,000 in good, clean, hard ioney for her share in it!' D)octor Dedling started! 'Five-thousand dollars !' re cated he, slowly. Could it really be a fact ? If so nd there seemed little reason for oubting it-what a fatal mistake e had made in rejecting a bride rho could bring the rich portion f a 'cranberry swamp' as her edding dower. If lhe had known his half an hour-one little half .1)on't iret aoouL nmn, J uul1, dear, he isn't worth it!' urged honest Marmaduke Redfield, who had stopped on his way to the postoffice to bring a message from his mother. 'He was always a pretentious sort of fellow, all for outside show. with a heart ike a stone, and a nature as shallow as Deacon Doler's brook:' Judith looked up at the clumsy, good-hearted, hard-handed farmer, and wondered that she had never before seen what a true face, and what clear, frank eyes he had. 'Forget him, Judith,' pleaded Redtield ; and she began seriously to think that she would at least make the trial. 'Come over to our house and stay with mother. It's too bleak and lonesome for you here, for the present at least. Spring will be .time enough for you to come back to the-cranberry swamp.' Judith Grey looked around at the solitary room, and thought of Mrs. Redfield's cozy kitchen, with its bright-colored rag carpet, its window lined with bloominggera niams, and its shrill:voiced canary bird hanging over the work-table. 'Do you think,' she hesitated, 'that your mother would be will ing to be troubled with such a guest as I ?' Duke Redfield's face grew radi ant. 'Only try her,' he said ; 'dear Judith, you'd be as welcome as the flowers in May.' And the noxt day Mrs. Rodfield came over in the old farm carryall to claim her guest, and the swamp house was left to its own dreary desolation .and the drivirg snows of January. Scarcely three weeks had elaps ed when young Dr. Dedling came to Redf.eld farm in his new gig, with ' old roan horse, that really made quite a good appearance when you (lid not hurry him, and he was free from a visitation com monly known as the 'heaves.' 'There ain't nobody sick here,' said Julius, the hired man, who was splitting wood at the side ot the house, as he eyed the doctor rather suspiciously. 'No, I know it.' said Dr. Ded ling; 'but I have called to see Miss Grey.' 'Miss Grey ain't no ways ailin as I. know of,' persisted.Juiius, feeling the edge of his axe, and staring hard at the medical repre sentative of Glassville. 'I have called,' said.Dr. Dedling, with.dignit1y, 'as a friend.' 'Oh,' said Julius. 'Will you be kind enough to let me in ?' persisted the doctor. ''Tain't no use,' said Julius, roll ing a prodigious pine knot down from the pile, and preparing him self for a stupendous effort; 'there ain't nobody to home.' 'Nobody at home ?' echoed the doctor. 'They've all gone to church,' explained Julius. 'To church, man ? Why it's Tuesday.' 'Who said it wasn't ?' retorted Julius. 'They ain't gone to hear service-they is gone to be mar ried!' 'Who?-denianded the doctor. 'Our Marmaduke -and Miss Judith !' And down came the axe upon the end of the pine knot with a crash that made the man of medi eine start back. The new railroad was duly con structed directly across the depth of old Miles Grey's cranberry swamp, and $5,000 was placed to Mrs. Marmaduke Redfield's ac count in the nearest n ation al bank ; and Mrs. Pytchley thinks she made a mistake in taking the gold eagles instead of the cranber ry swamp ; but young Dr. Dod ling thinks his mistake was greater still. A Louisville girl bought a $90 pair of hose, and the first time she wore them she slipped down fourteen times, and lot her dress caught six times. Let this be a warning to girls against extrav agan ce. IDrunken.ness places man as mcb below the level of the brute a .e.aon elova him above them. i[isellarneous. BILL ARP'S CROPS. When a farmer has laid by hi crop and the seasons have bee! kind and tLe corn land cotton look green and vigorous, and the swee potato vines have covered th ground, what an innoceut luxur: it is to set in the piazzer in th shades of evening and with one feet on the bannisters, contem plate- the beauty and bounty- c nature and the hopeful prospect c another year's support. It look like that even an Ishmaelit might feel calm and serious, aI if he is still ungrateful for hi abundant blessings he is wors than a heatben, and ought to b, run out of a christian countr, with the Chinese plank in th democratic platform. Every yea brings toil and trouble and appr( hension, but there always come along rest and peace and rip fruits of one's labors. In the journey of life the mour tains loom up before us and the; look high and Mteep and rugged but somehow they always disal pear just before we get to ther and then we can look back an feel ashamed that we borrowed s much trouble and bad so muc a*uxiety for nothing. What great pile of miserable fears w build up every day. It's good fo a' man to ruminate over it and rt solve to have more faith in Prov dence, and I am ruminating no? I was thinking about the cro that has been laid by and tha brought to mind another crop tha was pretty much done with an is able to take care of itself with little watching. I mean the cro of children chat for 30 years ha kept us a working and worryin by day and by night, in summe and winter in peace and war, bu it's all over now thank the goo Lord for His mercies. The lae tender shoot is about laid by. Ni more nussing and toting aroun and warming the milk by the mi< night lamp. No more baby song and dressing and undressing an< putting to bed. No ip-toeing roun the room when they are aslee and playing horse and bear an monkey when they are awaki Nver again will there be two c three of em crawling all over man or under his chair, or ridin on his back or trotting on h weary knees as ho sings the sami old songs that he has sung a thou and times before. Our last an youngest, has passed rubicol Bless her little heart, if it was f my sake, I wish she, would neve grow any more or older, for she 'the comfort of my declining year She can now wash and dress an ndress, and say her own praye: and put her little self to bed. SI: can sing her own songs, and loo at the picture books, and saves many a step, for she waits on now like a fairy and fills the houn with sunlight. The crop is Iai by, thbank goodness, and I wouldn undertake to make another for ouse full of gold. In the beyda of our y'outhful vigor a kind Pro idence enables us to bear up splei didly under these sore burden but an old man can't-it wast intended-it's against the ord< of nature. Many a time have watched the old blue hen tbh lays and sets and batches her lI te brood, and works and watchi for em a couple of months, at then lays by the crop and goes laying again for another. XE can't do Lhat, and I don't want t for I toll you I'm tired. If there any peril in life that is like a li gering suicide, it is for an o widower wbo has raised one cr< to marry a young wife an dgo cropping again. I don't thir they w ill ever go to Heaven,for ti Arabs say that. Paradise wast made for fools. If ever I am lone widower which the Lord fc bid, I'll flee from a marrying w man like 1 would from the wral to come, for my time is out. I' served my full term, and now tb; I am luxuriating in the long sh dows, I don't want anybody b er to sing John Anderson n Joe to me. I've been trying get her off to Catoosa for a week< tuo to recunerate her feelings ai yearlin and raise a few dolla but ske is :ifraid that somethii might happen. Little Carl is h idol and yesterday he was foolii around shutting up bumble be in gimpson weed blossoms and g s stung and his hand and his arr are all swelled up and my wi M Mrs. Arp, she had read about little bee st,ng killing a man al e of course a big bee sting could k s a little boy all the easier. Th again .he grapes are ripe and a ' pies are green and the childr hanker after em and might g s sick, and there's some. little cloth e to make, and the wiuter socks a to be knit and so on and so four and lastly but not leastly, the e seems to be some trouble abo something to wear. When s pats on her best clothes she alwa e looks mighty pretty to me, b still I suppose I'm no judge such things. I told her that eve blessed woman at Catoosa was c actly in the same fix. They h nothing to wear. But after s that is a little pardonable wea F ness that we men have no rig to complain of, for they are a he - better than we are whether th a have got any thing to wear d not. We must all do the best 0 can to clothe em decently. Wh b old mother Eve had to leave hor a she made the same complaint ai e father Adam did the best he cou r -he got her some fig leaves ai a few straws and fixed her up. A farmer has got some leisu now to ruminate upon his sta P and his *country. It's every I triot's duty to reflect upon the1. t litical situation and prospects ai d get all the light he can. For s< a eral years we have been most P concerned about our state-pr s ing her out of the mud. But nc she is all safe and its a fitti r time for us to consider our natic t al affairs. Our national politics is a t thing. It was always a big thu but it seems to me now that t d coming presidential contest is b -ger than it ever was before. 1l a been hoping for a change ever sir Sthe wvar, but it was a weak sort o d hope that was prepared in advar P for a disappointment, but now I' d got an abiding, consoling fal Sthat the end of the lane is in sig r-that we are bound to whip e a horse, foot and dragoons. 3 ghopes are so pregnant and exi Ie rating that I could hardly bc e up under a defe'at. The calamni s to the nation and to me wvould d awful.

Mr. Chandler's es bill of indictment is pointedly ot blunt, but would be squashied in us any court for want of spec;i(ation.

Hancock appears in the be-t 11, light in his letter to Gen. Sherman. k. That letter is destined to become his ht torical. It is full of strong points p that will fasten themselves on the pub oy lie mind. The republican simplicity or and honesty of his character are re ye vealed in many passages, but particu n larly in one, where he refers to the ne inauguration of Jefferson, as follows id "I like Jefferson's way of inaugura Id tion ; it suits our system. He rode d down on horseback to the Capitol, tied his horse to a rail fence, entered and re was duly sworn, then rode-to the Ex ,te ecutive Mansion and took possession. >a He inaugurated himself simply by ,o. taking the oath of office. There is id no other legal inauguration in our sys !v tem." y Contrast this plain; truly demo iz. cratic, and unpretending method of w assumMg the duti.s of the Chief Mag. og istracy, with the pomp and pageant n. introduced by the third-termers when celebrating the second inauguration ig of Grant. They were not content ig, with display of the local troops at he Washington. For the first time in ig. the history of that institution, the ve cadets at West Point were taken from se their course of study and carried to f a the capital at the public expense to ce give eclat to the ceremony. Military ye companies from distant cities and tb regular soldiers formed in a great pro lit cession, which escorted Gen.
