Sees the traveler below Losing heart, as, league on league, Long wildernesses show .No.end to his fatigue. 'Sofith, anfid her stars; Beholding far beneath. The bright or'gloomy. bars In the web.of,life and depth. Sees weary hearts that deem - The dark breadth is the whole, Sees happy hearts that dream The bright rays all theirVoal. At! let this faith be ours That even 'mid the pain, - Above thdepresent towers, And sees the nearing gain; While, breadth by breadth, appears, As from the weaver's hand, The pattern of the yeats Which God Himself has planned. D DEL1ING'S 1llffl. -0 . 'Of course,' said young Dr. Ded ling, 'a idan has his own fortune to look to.' 'Of course,' said Judith; and, as she spoke. the words, a cold chill seemed to creep, like slowly-Con geaiing ice, around her leart.. If you had consulted me as to your affair,' went on tho.young -man,-instead of taking this extra ordinary step, entifely 'without a4vice or couaeil Ytei, I -riow,' hurriedly inter posed Judith.;. 'but it's, ver and past now, so perhaps we had bet -ter:tot talk alloat it' The red winter sunset was blaz ing wfth sullen ire above the ce dar copse in. the west; the leafless vioods hold up their black arms, n a sort of wrestling agony to ward the'sky, as the bleak winds tossed them to and fro, and a sol itary raven uttered his ominous croak in 'the woods at the back of the house. Dr. Dedling shuddered. as he looked around him, and glanced out toward. the dreary swamp that.extended toward the east. 'Such a place,' he said, 'for a lady to select to live in !' 'It isn't very cheerful,' said Jo dith, 'but I have lived here all my -life, you know.' 'The more reason for wanting to get out of it now ,' said the.dog. tor, impatie.n.ty,. Judith was silent. She looked at the blazing logs lu~The old-fash . ion-ed hearth, and. tried .to keep back the fast-rising tears. Dr. Dedling arose and took up -his hat. . 'Then I am to consider that our -eftgagernentl's quite at an end ? said tho doctor. -'Yes,' said Judith, in a very 'Good-by !' said Dr. Dedling. 'Good-by !' responded Judith. aThe next moment she was alone Swith. the logs, and the cricketi chiscping on the hearth,and the Sstrange, weird shadows that came ~and went on the wainicotted e walls. .It wes just a month to-night rsince they had buried old Milei ,Grey out of sight. Luittle Judith "who had worn herself out in tak ing care of him, had dropped a few tears on L,he cheap c-"ffin that in Icased his- remains, but no ont else had seomed particularly t< .grieve. .4 Nrs. Pytchley, her eldest sister who was married t.o a New Yoi grocer, had boldly declared that il l, was, high time the old man tooli e himself off the stage of this world and had made no sec.ret of her die appointment when it was die Scovered that $-1,000 in gold pieces i-epresented all his hoarde< wealth, wo'h the' exception,.of thi - cranberry swamp, upon whosi dreary verge stood the house ; an' 'this dreary property, by the terma of the will, was to be divided be twveen his two nieces, Judith Gra; and Martha Pytchley, as the; themselves might agree. 'I'll take the .ready money,' sait Mrs. Pytchley, hastily. 'Wha could I do with three or four milc of cr-mberry swamp ?' 'Or, what could JRdith do with it either ? said Hobart Pytehley, de who sat whittling a pine stick be- ho tide the fire. ha '1 dare -say she could nanage po very nicely,' said Mart-ha.

Mine host met his with a irn cheery air. fr 'Walk in, doctor? walk in!' se said he. ai 'Not that-rooin,' as Dedling me chanically laid his hand upon the d< door-nob of the aparturent he usu ally entered.

'Five-thousand dollars !' re pes,ted he, slowly. p SCould it really be afact ? If so- 8. and there seemed little reason for ft doubting it-what a fatal mistake C he had made in rejecting a bride '2 who eou.ld brinig the rich portion a of a 'cranberry swamp' as her wedding dower.

'Tlere ai6't nobody sick here,' id Julius, the hired man, who s splitting wood at the side of e house, as he eyed the doctor ther suspiciously.

The crop is Ia by, thank goodness, and I would undertake to make another for house full of gold.

I've been trying get her off to Catoosa for a week tn o n recuperate her feelings enjoy society. I offered to s.ll a yearlin and raise a few dollars, but ske is afraid that something might happen. Little Carl is her idol and yestei-day he was fooling s around shutting up *bumble bees in .ginpson weed blossoms an.d got :s stung and his hand and his arms are all swelled up and my wife, e Mrs. Arp, she had read about a Y little. bee sing 01lling a man and le of course.a big bee sting could kill a little- boy all: th easier. Then again the grapes are ripe and ap -ples are green and the children hanker after em and might get S sick, and there's-some.litle clothes e to -make, and the winter,sbeks are d to be knit and so on abd so fouith 1s and lastly* but *ot 'leastly, there seems to be some trouble about e sometbing .to wear. When she 7 puts on her bestelothes she always e looks mighty pretty to me; but rstill suppose Pm no judge of e- such things. : Itqd' her that every a blessed woman at Catoosa was ex e actly in the same-fix.

For sev; a eral years *e have been -mostly co6cerned"about our state-priz itig her out of the mud. But now 1g she is all safe and its a fitting or time for us to consider our nation at al affairs. Our national politics is avbig 8 thing. t was always a big thng, 0 but it seems to me. now that the d coming-presidential contest is big d- ger than it ever was before.

They think h iut is going to be nominated, but if h my aint then they can prove the; to never was for him. I saw a felle :or jtoting him round last week wh md would btray him like Judas sa then swear be didn't know the man. Such is life, and such is that feller. A few more days will settle it, and then we will, see what he"will see. Mr. Chandler's bill of indictment is pointedly blunt, but would be squashed in any court for want of specification. It's got but one stated, which is that he goes about baranging peo. pie. Weil I don't like that myself, but it's no crime and is altogether a matter of taste. Chandler harangs em on one side, and don't like it because the governor harrangs em on the other. So go ahead-lay on Mackduff. A little blood letting will purify.the system. The state is all. safe in any evAht. It's the nation now that concerbs me and Alek. Excuse- us if we let the state alone for a season 'fr we have bigger things.to look after. Yours, BILI ARP. JEF)'ERON'S WAY. Gen. Hancock appears -in the bet light in hii. lett6i to Gen. Sheii'an. That letter 'is destined to become his torical. It is full of strong poits that.will fasten themselves on the pifi lie mind. The republican smplleity and honesty of his character are re vealed in maay passages, but partic larly in one, where he refers to the inauguration of Jefferson, as follows: *,I likeJefferson's way of inigunia tion 1 it suits 'our sy'stem.
