Mildly chiding my denying, St And my cool reserve decrying, He, with low and mystic sighing, M Turned away. Soon the little tyrant shyly Without warning as before Pulled the latch-string, and then slyly Pushed aside the loosened door. c Though my heat was near relenting, at And I felt 'twould bring repenting, Yet I would nor,"by consenting. Love to-day. Could I catch him and securely Tie his little wicked wings, t I would kneel to him demurely, Tho' I know they say he stings- lo That is he, I know his knocking, I will hasten the unlocking. Ah, the little trifler, mocking. m Flies away! lu a: JONES' MISTAKE. -0 'Heigho !' yawned Mr. Ellicott, * the real-estate %gent, as h~e looked h out of the window at two od wod men-,.a market cart,nd t;e at man.. 'Timos are !dull-feaifullr st starnant since I was in the butii - ness. A list of houses to rent and for sale that would suit anybody, t at prices that are absolutely scan dalous, as far as cheapness is con- a. cerned, and no demand for 'em- fa literally none!' And Mr. Ellicott lighted hiq cigar, arranged the 'To Lets' a g little more attractively in the win low, and shook his head mourn fully at the big ledger on the high desk. But just at that instant in which be drew a sigh, indicative of-the extremest despondency, a stout, middle-aged gentleman, with a felt hat, an umbrella under his arm, and square-toed boots, walked in to the neatly-carpeted office. The agent slipped nimbly off his chair, laid down his cigar, and assumeda the business smile. 'What can I do for you ?' he said, t rubbing his hands, and scenting a brown-stone sale, or a red-brick exchange, at the very least. 'My name is Jones,' said the t stout stranger.a 'Happy to see you, Mr. Jones,' simpered the real-estate agent' rt rubbing a way harder than ever. 'And I want to rent a respecta ble house in a pleasant neighbor. hood,' added tha -gentleman. '1 am sick of boarding, and I intend to take a house and go to house keeping.' 'Certainly, by all means,' said the agent, beginning briskly to flutter over the leaves of his book. 'We have, I am happy to say, a number of mosat eligible residences here, which can hardly fail to meet your requisitions.' 'Give me a list,' said the old gentleman. 'Certainly,' said Mr. Ellicott, dipping his pen into the wooden standish.a 'I mean basiness,' said Mr. a Jones. -i <1 am glad to hear it,' said the agent. And -scarcely five minutes more had elapsed before the middle aged gentleman with the alpaca umbrella and the squarie-toed boots was where a fat-lettered 'To Let' hung conspicuously beside the r door. Miss Pamelia Peppermint was just taking her hair out of crimp in the front third-story apartmnent as the bell sounded its bollow. toc sin through the house. 'Joanna,' said Miss Pamelia, over the stairs, 'look out of the area window and see who it is.'I 'It is a gentle man, ma'am3,' Joanna answered, in a shrill whisper, 'in a superfine broadcloth coat and a new umbrella.' 'Come to answer the advertise ment,' said Miss Pamelia, radiant l. 'Show him into the parlor. 1 oanna, and tell him I'll be down irectly.' She settled her crimps once sain, pinned a petite riibbon bow i her back hair, gave her fore. ead a farewell dab with a powder uff, and read. over for the last me a paragraph in the morning's aper, whicb ran as follows: WANTED.-By a young lady of lucation and experience, a posi on as housekeeper to a gentle an of means. No triflers need ?ply to Aiss P., No. 99 Nixon reet. 'Dear me,' said Miss Pepper int, "how my heart flutters-for irely this is a crisis in my life. ow often does a housekeeper be me something nearer and dearer a gentleman of susceptibility id appreciation! I hope he is ud.of poetry. She cross'ed the threshold with tripping step. To her surprise le apartment was empty. 'Wbere is he, Joanna ?' said she, oking around in dismay. 'Please, ma'am', faltered, the aid, 'I think he's an escaped natic-for be's walking all -ounld the back kitchen, and -erin' into the stationary wash ibs, and mutterin' to hisself like ?erything.' 'Ah!' said Miss Perpermint, ith a satisfied smile. 'Very nat -at-quite so. He means to find it what kiad of a practical )usekeeper I am. A-hem ! here 3 comes. Run, Joanna, there is ove-blacking on the- bridge of )ur nose and a hole in your ocking. A-hem!

'I have e pleasure of addressing-' 'My name is Jones,' said the Intleman, brusquely. 'You are ie lady who-' 'Who, advertised ? Yes,' said iss Peppermint, with a smiling clination of her head. 'Then I wonder at you I' enn.u ated M'. Jones. 'Sirl' said Miss Peppermint. 'As' old as the hills,' said Mr. )nos. 'All out of repair. Fifty ears old at the very least.' 'Sir!' ejaculated the lady, more stounded than ever. 'Truth is truth,' said the gen eman. 'INot even decently paint. 'Painted ?' gasped Miss Pepper. int, instinctively remembering se pearl powdem. 'Rheumaticky, and full of fever ad ague !' energetically added :r. Jones. 'A tumble-down old 'Sir, you insult me!' cried the >inster, bristling up. 'Then, madam, -you shouldn't btrude your damaged wares be. re the public.'. 'I was never so abused before in y life !' faltered Miss Pepper int, wringing her hands. 'It's high time somebody spoke ie truth,' said Mr. Jones. 'Leave the house, sir l' said Miss eppermuint. 'And welcome,' said Mr. Jones, utting his hat belligerently on le side of' his head, and shoulder ig his umbrella like a bay onet. 'But first let me give you a little dvice. The next time you have house to let-' 'But I haven't any house to let,' idignanty interposed Miss Pa. ielia. 'Eh ?' said Mr. Jones. 'And never had,' added the lady, reathlessly. 'Isn't this house to let?7' 'Yes, but it isn't mine, and I've othing to do with it.' 'You said you advertised.' 'So, I did,' said Miss Pamelia, rith difficulty keeping back her ysteric tears. 'But I wanted a osition as housekeeper, and-' The middle-aged bachelor stood gast, the fall horror of his sit ation gradually breaking upon tim. 'Madam,' he said, 'I beg your irdon-' 'Sir,' said Miss Peppermint, 'there has been an unfortunate nisapprehension all around.' 'I was alluding to the house, na'am, when I used those unfor nato .ae.ties,'. explained Mr. Jones. 'I hope you don't think, w ma'am, that I could apply them .k toa lady ?'

BETWEEN SENA- h TOR*HAMPTON AND JOHN SHERNAN. P fo WASHINGTON,- October 18.-Secre- at tary Sherman furnished to-day for Cc publication the following correspon- h dence, consisting of four letters which of bave passed between himself and Senator Hampton, of South Carolina : DAGGE'S SPRING, Sept. 17, 1880.' Ron. John Sherman, Secretary of the Treasury: SIR-Some days ago I saw a report ti of your speech at a conference held by the Natioual Republican Committee at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, and you were quoted as having - used the following language : "And now you are asked to surrender all a you have done into the handa of Wade Hampton and the Ku-Klux and the little segment in the North that is t called the Democratic party." May I ask if you used these words, and, if a me directly or indirectly with what is known as the Ku Klux Klan ? Re questing an early reply, addressed to me in care of August Schell, Esq., New York, I am very respectfully, your obedient servant, WADE HA:uPTon. WASHINGTON, Sep. 21. h Hon. Wade Hampton, Newo York : SIR-Your note of the 17th in- r tant is received, in which you inquire whether at a conference held by the a National Republican Committee at the Fifth. Avenue Hotel, New York, I used language attributed to me as follows: "And now you are asked to surrender all you have done into the ys1 hands of Wade Hampton and the Ku t Klux and the little segment in the North 'Tbat is called the Democratic i; party." In reply, I have to advise d you that while I do not remember t the precise language, I presume the reporter correctly stated, in s con densed way, his idea of what .i. said. I no' doubt spoke of you as a leadingn representative of the Democratic par- - ty in the South, and referred to the Ku Klux Klan as a represent"ive of the barbarous agencies by which the Democrats have subverted the civil and politicai rights of the Republi ans of the South. I did not connect you.personally r with the Ku Klux Klans. Indeed, o I know you had, in one or two impor taut instances, resisted and defeated i its worst impulses. I appreciate the sense of honor which makes you shrink from being named in connec tion with it. Still, you and your as- ' sociates, leading men in the South,t now enjoy the benefits of the political powe; derived,. from the atrocities of the Ku Klux Klan, in which phrase I T include all the numerous -aliases by bich it has from time to time beet 3own in the South. Your power in the Southern State sta -upon actual ,=imes, of everl rade in the cde of crimes, from mur * to the meanest form of ballot bo3 uffing,o coomitted by the Kir Klus Ian and its kindred associates. - AU )u know, some of the worst of them ore committed siace 1877, whei )u- andl, they gave' the most solemE surance of protection to the freed en of the South. These crimes arc I aimed at the civil and political ghts of the Republicans in the South, I believe b ut 'for tfiese agencies ie very State that you represent, ac ell as' many other States in the )uth, wo-uld be represented -both the Senate and in the House Republicans. But for these crimes ec boast' attributed to you, that thG ,8 solid Southern votes would be st for the Democratic ticket,: would but idle' vaporing, but' now we el that it is: sober truth. While I have no reason to believe at you or your Northern associatee rsonalfy participated in the offenses have named, yet while you and ey enjoy the' fruits of these crimes u may in logic' and morals be classed I classed you-as joint copartners ith the Ku Klux Klan in the policy, hieh thus far has been successful, in izing the political power ia the uth, and which it is hoped, by the d of the swall segment of the Demo atic party in the -North, may be ex nded to all departments of the gov ument. It is n this sense that ' oke of you, the Ktr Klux Klan and e Northern Democratic party. P4rmit 'me, in- conclusion, whik atkly answering your question, tc y that the most fatal policy for-thc )th would be, by such agencies as I ve mentioned, to securcagain the litical ascendancy in this'country r I assure you that the manhood d independence of the North wil rtainly continue to struggle unti rery Republican in the South shal ve free and unrestricted enjoymenl equal civil and political privileges cluding fir votes, fair counts, fre< eech and' a' free press; and tho itatioa made necessary to securt Aeh results may greatry affect in [riously the interests of the prople o te South.

C' Sa-I have to acknowledge the ceipt of you note of the 1st instant uded me unopened by Mr. C. Mc inley, a few moments ago, after m3 tarn from the West. I had thi: orning read what purported to b< 1extract of a speech made by you blished in the Charleston News anc 'urier, and, upon your general repu tion as a gentleman, had denied thai > had made such a speech or writtel ich a letter as is attributed to you it at pape What I stated to you ii ty lettei September 21st, 1 be eve to be true, notwithstanding youa enial, and it can be shown to be nec by public records and as a mat r of history. As you had, long before your lette: as delivered to me,. seen proper ti ake public a statement of your view: ~the correspondence, I will give it ti ~e press without note or comiment rad let the public decide between us Very respectfully, JOHN SHERMAN. It is easy enough to make sac ifces for those we love, but fo ur enemy we have to struggl nd overcome self. Such' a victor' 3 noble. The first ingredient in cons'er aion is truth, the next goo ense, the third good humor, an he f'ourth wit. In confessing your faults ani >lcking a goose alvays make: .lean hreast of it.. WORDS OF WINDOM. We know not the worth of water till the well is dry. There are calumnies against. which even innocence loses cour age. Better. be .npright. And waint, than wicked and have a supora bundance. Industry need not wish, and he who lives upon hope will die of fastina. The fullest and best ears of wheat hang lowest toward 'the ground. They are never alone that are accompanied with noble thoughts; In refraining from beiagm6an to others you are good to your selves. A year of pleasure passes like -a .floating breeze, but a moment of misfortune seems an age of pain. Life, as we call it, is no&hing but the edge of the boundless o-:ean of existence.. He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he mtiet pass himself. Success is full of pronilso till men get it; and then.it is a last year's nest from which the bird is flown. We commence by being in love with our own thoughts, and follow by seeking to make others worship them. The rewimbrance of a >eloied mother becomes the shadow of all our actions. It either goes before or follows. it .i& easier to dispense with iches whea they are 4ot needed, than not to attach ourselves to them when we possess them. Men trust rather to their-eyes than to their ears; the effect of precepts is therefore slow and te dious, whilst that of example is summary and effectual. He who is false to the present I duty breaks a thread in the loom, and will see the effect when the weaving of a lifetime is unraveled. He is but a weak mau who can not twist and weave the threads of his feeling, however firm, how ever strained or however strong, F into the great cable of purpose; by which he lies moored to a point of action. Everything in nature indulges in amusement. The lightning plays, the wind whistles, the thunder rolls, the snow flies. tbe waves leap, anid the, fields smile. Even the buds shoot and the rivers run. COLORED MEN RETURNING FROM INDIANA. -A dispatch from Alexan dria, Va., says :"For the past two days squads of negroes have been ar riviug in this city from Indiana. Friday morning a comipany of ten arrived. Tfhose arriving did not hies itate to say that their passage to In. diana from North Carolina had been paid by a genitlemuan from the N.eth, and that they had left their natit'e State a short time previous UiJ he con,dition that they would not be re quired to remain away fromi their homes more than a. month. The spokesman of the party said that a man from the North camne to North Carolina about six weeks ago and en gaged a number of men to work in In diana, promising to pay their railroad fare to that State; that they went to Indiana and were stationed in a coun try district, where they stald and voted the Republican ticket last Tues'day, for which they received a. monthis pay; that they had been :granted a. furlough upon the premise to return in two weeks. Both parties se~emed to be ignorant of the purpose for which they had heea transported to Indiana, and were elated at dhe man nier in .which they had been 'treated. -They expressed the opinion that on their return to Indiana they would be accompanied by a large numiber of the. colored people of their neighborhood, -as they had been informed by.gentle r men in Indiana"that tTore was work e in that State for- alli they'oolrIb1ring , along with them." Worth makes the man-makes -him sick when he has to pay Cus v om House dues on hi's-daughter's new Paris dresses He that resolves upon any great: :1 and at the same time good end, bLy a that very resolution has sealed the chief barrier to it.
