RESTORED TO ilER LOVER, -0 Being about to lose my faithful cook, I took a friend's advice and went to Castle Garden to secure a capable emigrant girl. 1 found one who had bought with her flattering testimonials from her former mistress-a lady of title, She was a tall finely-built young woman, and would have been attrac. I tive-looking had it not been for a peculiar gloom which slumbered within the depths of her great black eyes, and dwelt in the sombre curves of her full red lips, She rarely met your glance, and if she did so, would avert her eyes as though she had received a shock. But if not a sunbeam in the kitchen she proved to be a treasure of neat ness and efficiency, and I congratu lated myself on haring secured her. After a while, however, symptoms of dissatisfaction showed them. selves in the manner of my faithful Katy, the waitress, who bad been with me since I had commenced housekeeping. "Mrs. Freeland," she said hesi tatingly, '-I'm sorry to trouble you, but I really can't stand such carry ings-on no longer. Either Frederi ka must leave, or I must." "Why, Katy, what is the matter? I thought everything was going on all right. What fault have you to find with Erederika?" "Oh, don't ask me, ma'am," an swered Katy with a shudder. "1 don't wtant to hurt anybody, gud horses coijldn't inake pme tell what I think 01 that dreadful girl. The way she goes on in her sleep is enough to make one's hair stand straight up." '-Why didn't you tell me she was an unpleasant companion for you at night, Katy? I wvill1 do away with that. You shall have a separate room." Katy's face cleared. "I don't want to put you to any trouble, Mrs. Freeland." "It won't be half as troublesome to fix up a room for you Katy, as it would be to lse you, But you mn'stu't $hink baidly of poor Fred erika because she has bad dreams. The best of us have them. They are caused by indigestion." Katy looked unconvinced, but she was too miudful of her proper place to argue with "her lady," as she was fond of calling me in talk ing to her "comrades," as she de signated her mates. So I had a bedroom fitted up for her on the side of the house most remote from Frederika's room which was only accessible by the back stairway. For if Katy had such a feeling about being near hear it was best fj,r hw to f'eel entirely at ease about receiving a chance visit from her. After making this change every thing went on smoothly again for a while. But one day I had ocoasion te Ign into the kitchen to concoct Fred's favorite pudding, and just as I had stirred in the last ingredient, a step sounded outside the door, followed by a brisk rap. I saw Frederika give a glance at the new comer through the window and then, with a face white as the towel with which ghe was polishing $he glass she held in her hand, she started for the stairway. Katy just then came in. "Go to the door, Katy," I said, feeling sure that we were on the verge of a catastrophe. For Frederika's blanched cheeke and her sudden fright told a story -of their own, A deep toned voice with a foreigr accent in it asked : "Does a girl named Frederike live here?'' I did not wait for Katy to reply . An impulse to stand between Fred 'erika and the trogble whiph :i saw we dom~Ia to her. st6meted me Ii go forward and meet the man whose appearance had so alarmed her. But he was far from looking like a dangerous person. lie was tall and of muscular build; ,ut his blue eyes were full of kindly light, and his ruddy cheeks were as smooth as a girl's. lie could not. have been more than eighteen. lie howed respectfully as I an swered his question "Frederika lives here," I said, "but I think she is not feeling well. Will you leave your message with me and call again another I day?" "I wish to ask after Zintha Rick er. She is my promised wife and she came over in the same ship with Frederika, I have been to Cas tle Garden, and they think that no such a girl came across the sea. But Frederika will know, I have the letter from Zintha's brother. They knew each other in the old country." "I will ask Frederika about her. Will you come again to-morrow?" "Yes, I will wait until then. But it will seem very long until I get tidings from my Zintha !" I felt pained to keep the honest fellow from hearing from Fred erika's lips the assurance for which his heart longed; but the thought of Frederika's face as she had fled away, made me certain that I ha best send him away until I had first talked with her. After he had gone, I went to Frederika's room. She sat sway ing herself to and fro upon the edge of a chair. Her face, no longer white, but looking as though the blood was ready to burst from her crimson cheeks, was full of anxious expectation, and her eyes looked as though they belonged to some animal at bay. She clasped her hands and ex claimed, with wild vehemence : "Don't tell him I am here ! He has come for her ! Oh, what shall I tell him?" ' "The truth, Frederika," I said, trying to speak lightly. "It isn't anything so hard, is it, to tell a young man where to find his sweet heart?" "0, if I could tell him-if I could only send him to her ! But that can only be when the sea gives up its dead !" and her voice rose into a wild scream, which made the blood curdle in my veins. "Calm yourself, Federika. It is a sad thing to tell him if his prom ised wife has been buried at buried at sea, but yo:i are not responsible for it." '-That is all you know about it !" she began with savage earnestness. Then, with a sudden furtive look at me she sai 1: "But of course he cannot blamc me unless I had kill ed her---" But here she broke down and threw herself upoit the bed, sobbing and rmoaning as though her heart would break. "Hadu't you best send for the priest, ma'am?" whispered Katy in my ear. She had, unperceived followed on after :ne, thinking, she said afterwards, t:hat I was putting myself in danger by going near Frederika. "I don't like to tell tales on her, but she runs on that way all the night, and it's myself thinks she needs to confess to the p)riest." "Is she a ('atholic, Katy?" "Yes, ma'am that she is. But she's a mighty bad one, notwith standing She tells her beads by the hour. She never goes to confes sion." "Then go at once for your own priest, Katy," I whispered. "Not for the world, till the mas ter comes. She might go crazy and kill you dead at her feet ! and sure it's best to leave her alone en tirely the while. She'll get over the turn all tl:e sooner if no one is with her. I've seen her worse than this." Convinced that Katy's advice was sensible, I went down stairs again. But amy peace of mind had been exercised for many days, For Frederika went raving mad, and had to ho carried from the house in a strait-jacket. Fortunately she did no har m to any of us in her frenzy. But we all sympathised so deeply in her affliction that it cast a shadow over our hitherto sunny household. Zintha's betrothed husband came again for news of her, and was much troubled by what I told him. "I should think my Zintha had had come to some harm though Frederika." he said, after a few moments' thought, "but she was so good and winning that no one could have felt angry at her ! And as to Federika, though she was always a little strange and moody, I don't believe she would have hurt a chick en, far less one who had never done her any ham. "Could Zintha have made her jealous by her beauty and gentle ness?" I asked. Herrman flushed to the roots of his curly flaxen hair. "Our families once made some talk of marrying Frederika to me. he said. "But I was in love with Zintha, So the proposition fell through." This was the key to the mystery. I r4dfth En had d datsd4 bf her handsome young countryman, and perhaps, finding her rival in her power had taken swift revenge. Poor Zintha ! trusted to cross the wide ocean with a woman who knew her to be the cause of her blighted hopes! What had been her fate? I wen; went with Herrman to Castle Garden, thinking to ease his mind by making enquiries my self. I was met with the intelligence that they knew nothing whatever about a person of that name. But while talking with the gentlemanly superintendent, a group of new comers make theirappearance from a ship which had just come into port. Herrman, looking downcast enough, had stood beaide me and had heard the discouraging reply to my question. He glanced up mechanically as the strangers en tered, and then with a wild excla mation of joy, darted towards a young girl who formed one of the group. "Oh, my Zintha ! I thought to never, never see you more ! Where is it you have been ?" "I have been near my death, Herrman !" was Zintha's answer. "But for the good God, and for these kind people, I should now be lying white and still at the bottom of the ocean ! Ah, I have such a dread ful thing to tell you. Frederika pushed me over the side of the ves. sel. She meant to drown me !" "The wicked Frederika !" ex claimed Herrman, stamping his foot. "I will take the law on her r "Her sin has already found her out." I said solemnly. "She is in a madhouse. I did not tell you all she said, Herrman, because I thought it best to learn the truth about Zintha, before alarming you about the wild talk of having com mitted a crime," "It is now clear to me why the once kind Frederika tried to kill me! She was not in her right mind, and I have always heard that a crazy one turns against those she has best loved." This explanation came from Zin tha, and as it was as satisfactory to Herrman as it was to herself I thought it best to let them remain undeceived as to Frederika's true motive, or, at least, what I thought it to be. Herrman was well-to-do, and he was married to Zintha within the month. I felt a great interest in the two so nearly lost to each other and went with them to select their furniture for the neat home they were to dwell in, and where they have lived happily ever since. Poor Federika regained her sen ses, but she was in a dying condi tion. She sent for me to come to her, and made a full confussion. As I expected, love and jealousy has driven her to it, and not being naturally a wicked girl, the thought of what she bad done in that mo ment of passionate impulse had so preyed upon her mind as to craze her. I shall never forget the look of peace which came to her when I told her of Zmntha's almost miracu lous rescue at the hands of some sailors who had been obliged to abandon their sinking ship, and whose boat had chanced to be drift ing near the spot where she had been pushed overboard "God has been good to me a sin ner. I can die in peace," she said. "These hands are no longer stained with blood." GROVER CLEVELAND. A Drier sketeh or lisi Lire. Aaron Cleveland, the great-grand father of Grover Cleveland, was born Feb. 9, 1744, in East Haddam and spent most of his entire lif" in Norwich, Ct. A local history tells us that he was a man of wonderful versatility, who carried on the hat business and at the same time wrote poems, essays, lectures and sermons upon all the prominent topics of the day, social, political and religious. He afterwards became a Congrega tional minister, resided awhile in Vermont, and then, returning to his native State, died at New Haven in 1815. His son Charles, born in Norwich in 1772, city missionary of Boston, affectionately called "Fath er Cleveland," lived within 17 days of 100 years. A daughter, the youngest of thirteen children by two marriages, married the eccentric Dr. Samuel H. Cox, whose son Ar thur Cleveland Cox, is Episcopal Bishop of Western New York. Aaron Cleveland's second son, William, the Governor's grand-fath er, a silversmith by trade, lived most of his life at Bean Hill, an outskirt of Norwich, and was dea con of the First Congregational Church at Norwichtown from 1812 to his death, a period of twenty-five years. The second son of William Cleve land was Richard Falling, the Governor's father, who was born in Norwich, Jun. 19, 1804. He *as 1dadei Ia fth. Itkd I fhlhaf with pallid complexion and bright eyes. He entered Yale about 1820 and graduated in 1824, with sixty seven others, among whom were Rev. Dr. Hiram P. Ar Ines, of Norwich, and lion. Elias W. Leavenworth, of Svracuse. Richard Cleveland (as the name is spelled in the Yale catalogue) taught in Baltimore, studied theolo gy with Dr. Nevin, spent some months at Princeton, (1827-28: was ordained a Presbyterian clergyman over the church at Windham, twelve miles from Norwich, in 1828; mar ried a daughter of Abner Neal, of Baltimore, in 1829; he died October 1, 1853. Mrs Cleveland died at the same place July 19, 1882, aged 78. They had nine children. The present Governor of New York, Stephen Grover Cleveland, was born at Caldwell, N. Y., March 18, 1837. He was named for his fathers's predecessor in the pastor ate, but dropped the first name be cause he was always called by the second. He was fifteen when his father died, and an assistant of his elder brother in the blind asylum at eighteen. In 1843 he set out for the West with a companion, their objective point being the growing city of Cleveland. But friends in Buffalo persuaded him not to con tinue his journey any further to the Westward. Young Cleveland therefore be came a resident of Buffalo, and he soon secured a law student's desk in the office of Messrs. Rogers, Bowen & Rogers. It was not long before the law firm intimated to the student that he was "a brainy young man," and they soon felt justified in fixing a liberal salary, which they found him abundantly able to earn. Mr. Cleveland was admitted to practice as an attorney in 1859. After his admission he continued with his preceptors for four years which, with the previous four years served as a student, gave him eight years of the best kind of legal ex perience. He was then appointed assistant district attorney for the county of Erie, which position he filled with marked ability for a peri od of three years. He was nomin ated by the democratic county con vention in 1865 for district attorney to succeed Mr. Torrance, and was defeated. Mr. Cleveland formed a law copartnership with the late J. V. Vanderpool on the 1st of January, 1866, which was continued until August, 1869. He then became a member of the firm of Lanning Cleveland and Folsom, the late A. P. Lanning and the late Oscar Folsom being his asso ciates. This firm remained in existence for less than two years, and until Mr. Cleveland retired therefrom to assume the office of sheriff of Erie county, to which he was chosen at the election in No vember, 1870. At the expiration of his official term as sheriff he be came a member of the firm of Bass, Cleveland & Bissel. Tn November 1881 Cleveland w as the democratic candidate for the office of mayor of Buffalo and was elected by a decisive majority, having received the votes of many of the opposing party under the be lief that he would give the city a reform administr ation. Mr. Cleve land's administration was such as to justify the expectations that were created by his well known character and previ~ous pub)lic record as well, and the people felt, without distinc tion of party, that they had in Mayor Cleveland an able, fearless, upright chief magistrate. He had occasion several times to interpose his veto between the city treasury and the schemes of plundering poli ticians, and he always did it fear lessly. In a word, his record was such that the eyes of all the Demo crats in the State were turned to ward him as the coming candidate for Governor. He was elected to that office in November, 1882 by a majority of 192,854 over Charles J. Folger, the republican nominee, and he took possession of the executive chamber on the 1st of January 1883. Since Governor Cleveland came into office he has not been absent from his desk more than six weeks. He reaches his desk at nine in the morning, opens his private letters and at half past nine is ready to re ceive callers, many of whom are members of the legislature, who come to explain the nature of their bills. After the Legislature ad journs he has more leisure. Men having business with him have learn ed his methods. They know he means what he says. Upon his word confidence and reliance can be placed, no matter how important or trivial the subject. Inquirers are pretty apt t'qumckly ascertain his views. He has that extremely rare faculty of reaching safe conclusions after a few moments study. Ee is a man who seldom loses his temper unless persistently vexed by men who seek to argue him out of what he expresses and believes to be a safe and wise decision. He impresses men with his frankness and explicit manners, and his visi tore depart satisfied with the ver dict. Gov. Cleveland has a vigorous, robust constitution. He posseses a large frame, is inolined to corps l6aae, has a efta, sabediae Iati' perament, light complexion, thin brown hair with a tendency to baldness. and his general make up is what ladies would properly de cide to be good looking. But none of them have as yet succeeded in capturing his hand or his heart, for he is still a bachelor. He has no sympathy with that snobbishness that leads some people to style them selves "society people." le is a jovial, genial companion, and proba bly chiefly delights in association with his own set. In spite of the amendment to the State constitution forbidding special legislation many bills of that sort have entered his chamber only to be killed. The same care and painstaking were observable when more general interests were at stake. He vetoed a general street railroad bill because the rights of the people were so loosely guarded. His veto of the Buffalo fire de partment bill was against the in teres's of certain party managers in his home city. But he ve toed it for that very reason and because it was not in the inter. rest of the people at large. The same care of the public led him to veto a bill which removed many of the present restrictions and allowed the trustees of savings banks to in vest in wild-cat securities. His ve to of the prison commission bill was because he thought it ought to report sooner than next January. He has steadily put his foot on all measures to exempt froin taxation. His disapproval of two or three of the New York reform bills was be cause they were so loosely drawn. PLAN FOR THE PRIMARY ELECTION. The following are the rules and regulations governing the Primar ies: I.
