The doctor's fc?rs that Eva would c ecovcrrapidly, proved tobe well fouc d j days and weeks of fever succeed lie awakening to life during which s liked incoherently of "papa" and "po ead mama," and of the "burning ship nd of "hunger."

"My dear little girl," said Dr. Hun hen Eva wa? at length able to ride ou ivill you tell me your nn.me ?" "Kva," said the child. "I thought yo ucw it." "Yes, I know your name i* Kva, bt want to know the rest of your nainc )ur father's name." "Kva Duiv.nf, Mr. Durant is my papa: "Yes, now I Wiint you tell me all yoi m remember about your father au her.** Kva's eyes filleJl with tears. "Oh, sh y mama, died aud went to live with th igols.

II::,I he been saved ; and i- he scarchin^/or his child ? Kvtrj issible effort was now made to find m. Thc circumstances of thc msc, th thc statcmeot of the child, were tblished fully in thc newspapers of the ighborins? cities; but thc grief striekcu ther, believing his child to be lost, ?1 sailed a week before for Kurope, d it soon becane evident in thc miuds Kva's proteelois, that he had perished. it the little OU3 still prattled about r "papa," and said he would come by. d by, and those who believed different, would not pain her by contradiction. Thc square and compass that bad cn found upon her clothing was rc rded as a powerful appeal from a asou to his brethren tocare for his ?ld. So it came to pass that Kva came as it were, the special charge of irani hodge, No. 03. Mr. Turner mid ciadly have taken the entire care thc little waif, and thc wealthy Sena r W-icq jested to bc allowed to opt her as his daughter, but thc cthrcn in Lo<?g? assembled, declared vote that Kva should be reared, elu? ted and protected by the Xiodge, and ut as Providence had placed her in other Turccr'ii house that should be ir home. And so thc years went by, and Eva came a healthy, joyous child, flitting rc and there, und everywhere meeting e warmest of welcomes. The Mason? Hall was but a lew rods from Mr. ? irocr's rcsidecce, and Lva olten went; th bim as far is thc do r, and then turned alone, fd ways bidding the Tiler ?ike good care of Pa Turner and send ? home early." CHAPTER Ht. The six years that followed the death his wife and thc loss of his , child, sscd wcuiily to James Durant. ile 'itcd nearly every country in thc Old urld, seeking among scenes of boauty d grandeur RS well as historic interest r thc mental rest that could aeree bo aud. Once more he turned his steps trard America and sought his Masonic end, Mr. Wadsworth. Fiuding that oticman abot t setting out with bis wily on a journey to tbe Atlantic aat, Mr. Durant accepted the invita )u to accompany them to Saratoga, and ?agar?, then t:> New York, where, aving the ladies, Mr. Wadsworth and" r. DuraDt wandered from town to town oug thc coast, enjoying the beauty of e eccnery and the quiet hospitality at greeted them, more than the owded hotels and the fashionable vies of the popular watering plac?s incy, and the kind baud of Providence, length lcd th sm to the little town of --, and the second evening after cir arrival they, visited the Masonic idge. A ?aral welcome waa extended these Brethren from such distant >mes, aud both were invited to address e Lodge. Mr. Durant said : "Brethren : I have traveled mach and ng. X have, found Masonic sympathy every part of the glebe,' asa every, bero is meson ry substantially the gama, can hardly ten whert lresid??-^3!ho >rld seems to be my home, as I ?ukin it a short tia? inanv town or?ffl?'trj, it my name ii: recorded i D an English xlge.

'.Sri years Have passed since this dear friend and brother robbed*" himself of bis life-preservcT,,*b^i?y little Era might perhaps escape; and we'hopetJ the elements might be kjnd, and that Heaven would send bc*riehef .; but she was never heard of more.*' The voice of Mr. Durant was quiver? ing with emotion, and unable to speak further, he seated himself and covered bis face with his hands. Glances of surprise and pleasure were fast from one to another among the brethren of Hiram Lodge. No one spoke, however, but all eyes turned Upon the Master, Mr. Turner.. For. a moment he seemed reflecting ; then taking a slip of paper from ?the Secretary, he wrote: "Mrs. Turner-Do not allow Eva to retire until I return home; I am going to bring a strange gentleman who wishes tose? her." And ?alling the Jan. Dea? con gave him the Dote, - saying, in a lbw voice, "Take this to Mrs. Turner, imme? diately.-" "Why, ?v?, 'said Mrs. Turner when she bad read the; message, "you are to have company. ? gentleman is at the lodge-foam who wishes.tc- saeyofl.". "Who can it be?" - Eva looked perplexed and thoughtful ; suddenly her cheeked flushed, her eyes brightened und clapping her little banda, she sprang to her Jeet and exclaimed ? "Oh, it must be papa ! no one else would wish to see me; no one in the world;" and before Mrs. Turner comprehended thc child's interpretation, she had pass? ed the threshbold, aud was flitting through the moonlight toward the lodge r^om. The Tiler looked amazed when Eva burst into the aute room, her checks burning, her eyes flashing with joy and excitement. .''JDo,not stop me I I am going in !" she exclaimed. But thc inner door was fastened, tt?d; the impatient Eva cried with vexation. "Wait a moment said the Tiler, who having beard nothing of what bad trans? pired.within, was at a loss to account for the strange conduct of the child; ' wait a moment and I will send your request to Mr. Turner, ile will come out and sec you." "I shall not wait; 1 do not want to ?1 see Mr. Turner:! want to sec ruy" i papa." '? "Thc child is crazy, that is evident," fl said the perplexed Tiler to himself; but calling out the deacon he bade him say that Eva was, there - and determiner! to jet into the lodge-room. i The deacon went to the East, and do- f livered his message in a low tone, and a 11 moment afterward moved uthai the crail bc called from labor to refreshment." "Xow," said Mr. Turner, "te]l thc 11 Tiler to let ber come io." M And Eva did come or rather bound into thc hall, more beautiful - in ncr, 1 excitement than ever before. She.&3-.j.< vaneod to tho center of the room and M stood beside thc altar; half poised upO;i i one tiny foot she scanned rapidly, thc [j faces of all. Her eager eyes BOOB de- j t tccted the stranger.", who were scated j ? beside each oi'ier/aud for a moment she c seemed irresolute; theo darting forward j c tritb a glad cry, she threw her arms j ?bout thc neck bf Mr.'Durant, crying, j \ "Oh, papa ! my dear papa ! you have j ( :ome home at la>t !-You were not c burned in the ship ?" Jj Wc wiil oat attempt to paint thc j | .cene further but will leave our readers ' 1 to imagine thc joy of the fond father, J t jud also leave them to decide whether . \ thc tears that wet tho checks of the J1 Brethren of Hiram Lodge ' were cioscd j ? jy sympathy with tho happiness of?fe?ir I little charge, Qr grief that they should < cse ose whom they all loved. J? -, i ( ? i I THE VAGABOND SACIE* An old man of very active physiogno? my, answering to the name of Jacob Wilmot, was brought to the police court. " His: clothes looked as though they might have-been bought second-hand io bis youthful prime, for they had suffered more from the rubs of the world than the proprietor himself. ?What business ?" ?None; I'm a traveler." "A vagabond, perhaps ?" "You are .not .far. wrong. Travelers ind vagabonds are about the same thing. fire difference is that th?

W C&17?E NOKIH AND SOUTH* ifBut'a short timo ago an elaborate slatemest was prepaid, said to fae taken from the ceosp, ostensibly for the pdr-^ pose of sh offing the number o? homicides . which, hud occurred during the past year . ia che different States. Tim was tele? graphed over the whole country; bat it'; was evidently a campaign trick and in* i tended to provo flbe/frightful demorali- j iation of the Southern States ; it was ' not published by the Gazette. .SomeJ idea may be had of the knavery of the ! .fcVr, when we ?tate that the homicides j in the 8tate of New York were put > down at 70, the population of the Slate : being 4,-100,000, while those in Louiei- j ana were given as 123, (be population j being 725,000. The fact that the iu- j fanticides committed in the city of New j York alone were at least five times as great in number as the statis;ic. 1 homi? cides in the whole State, au J more than double those alleged to have been com- ; mitted in Louisiana is, of course, c.;:e? fully omitted. The killing of uuboi u infants and the murders of wc.k and unfortunate women arc not likely to affect the Presidential vote, and, there? fore, do not require the intervention of the Ku'Klux bill. . . Wc do not pretend to say that, in many parts of the South, society is not still.in a very unsettled condition. It would, indeed, be very siugular if a race of brave and independent people ! iverc to" be suddenly changed into a set j of cringing hounds, merely by thc cir? cumstances ol private ruin, political i degradation, and military tyranny, lt is not surprising that men who ore treated almost as outcasts, :md who are lenied the protection of toe law, should it all times be driven to protect them? selves against assaults and outrages. Bat this by uo means implies demorali? sation.. It shows, on the contrary, a i ipirit!of honest mauhood, which is, tn itself, tho very best guard cgaiast lemoralizatioo ; aod we venture to say that, so long as this spirit of honest j manhood- it presevcred io the South, it j will never descend to the frightful ;.ud aruta! crimes and the miserable :.ud antnanly acts which uo\? disgrace and legrada the North. Where, for example, do we ?nd au. instance in the South of such a crime us ;he Parkman murder, where Mr. Park nan was assassinated io cold blood by j [ns companion, Prof. Webster, his body j Deiog cut up, partly dissolved by j ihemic ls, and then tJ?eu out iu pl.ces suspended by fish hooks iu tuc witter For the tish to feed on ? Where have j ?ve an instance ia the South of anything , to atrocious and so foul as the Nathan j nurdcr, to which i.ot even a clue c-ists, iud which, had it happeued in Missis tippi, would have been sui.icicut to put he whole South under the band ? And There have we to crowu all, auything >o infamous, so revolting, as thc Bowlsby aurdcr 1 What would have been the >utcry if a youDg girl had been assassioa ed in Charleston, and her bruised and nannied body had boca packed forcibly u a trunk sud sent to Baltiirjor 1 But. he crime wai p^rpei rated i.i New York, md the body shipped to Chicago. These, )f course, are extenuating circumstan :es. But there is something, in its way, j vbich is worse in its influences on the iommuuity than eveu these infamous ?ases of av.ful ima, aud that is the fact .lia? thc leading and most influential >apor*of thc North-thc New York ilcrald-bas finally sunk into a sensa ional police journal, giving daily )ublicity to every crime and outrage, no natter bow revolting, bow astrocious, >r how obscene it moy be. Indeed, the nore' frightful it is, the greater is ihe iffort to make it attractive, by display, n the columns of thia demoralized and lemoraliziog journal which is no longer it to enter into the house of any 'espectable family, or to pass into thc lands of the youth, male and female of ,his country. Tuc low, coarse brutality which now i lisgraces New York is no longer a secret 0 the world. Any ono that look? at i he sensational headings of thc Herald < lay after day, and sees there, in large ype "Awful" "Atrocity," ?'Frail Julia," i 'Pittiful Story," "Horrible Truth," 'Love and Suicide," "Terrible Coa- i 'ession," and such trash toado up to ncite. and to paader to a morbid ? ?ufios?ty, cao easily see what kind of ending the Herald considers the most ittracttvo, the most fashionable aod the nest popular, Now, wc ask, ts there tay prow of'th? people of the South, ! iven in their severest trials, ever having < auk to such scandalous aod contempt!

And while we lave this regard for deeenoy left, and -hu chi vario Beate ?f protection for toe < romeo whom we cherish,-is not the best lafegusrd against the nameless aud legrading atrocitie? with which New ; fork and Boston ac?d.

There, de? cency and respectability were banished. Demoralization spreads like a contagion. Power fell into the bauds of th?. shame* ices, end political loafers, cashiered offi? cers, ezveterinary surgeons, soldiers of fortune sod released convicts assumed the reins of government and brought Paris to a degree of d?gradation which was as painful as it was ruinous. The jtfortfa feas tbe same thing before ii. It is written on tbe wall, and unless some i .check is placed upon the march of crime, the story of the ParhvCoinmuae revised j aud corrected witb a vengeance, will one day be the story of New York.
