She knell by tho crimson altar, and the light from tho painted window, fell ! like a glory radiantly upon iicr form ; ilve knelt am} prayed in thc.*uo-lifc *n?le.| like some twee* saint of^story. There in the grand Cathedral, in the midst of | the city's wjr, whilo thcnvorld w^a rush ing on with its dizzy hum, Lucille Ave l&E^t*??*** ""l She felt so sad and despairing that ?morning. She had just been disap pointed in getting nu expected situation. Yes, a dozen times, had sue n-ad the short, cold note from her relative-, K? whoiuYluf had applied as the last?last resort. Tho story^ she'Bad written had been refused by the publisher of the Magazine, the day previous. What was left, now, toabo done ? Nothing. Nothing but to return to the haggard-looking old homestead, aud suffer, and bear, and hear her fath er's?poor old man-i?fruitless and.sad re-, pinings. These were her thoughts, as sho was returniug to her uncle's residence iu the city, from the post office, where she hud just received that disheartening letter. Thus, tdio was thinking, bitterly, os she passed the Cathedral, and hearing the or ganist practising, aud seeing tho door open, and persons going in to repeat their prayers'; an impulse of religion?of | superstition, perhaps, turned her steps into the church, aud she prayed. 'Twas a scene of expressive significance, yes, an historical emblem. She, the daughter of a haughty house, the descendant of knightly men, und of noble women, after suffering the keen humiliations of poverty?aye, of hunger ami cold, and seeing her aged fr.ther iffer aml heat ing him lament so VU\U- | cruel fortune?after en during this for a weary year, had resolved to come to the city, and try? try some thing for herselt and for him. After u Wiek of trying and failure, this was the sad, despairing cud. Here she knelt in the Cathedrui, anff* the light played upon her in its beauty, ;;nd the singings of the grand organ vi brated through the solemn stillness, anon treolipu so sweetly on the ear. and then profoundly toning through'the building, with its deep grand bass. Mciiiiuks, the organist, was another Tom Pinch, aufl the sorrows and meek nesses ol l.is own life would ? express themselves in bis melody, while u note uf human sympathy, from a warm heart, would repeat itself unbidden, as the bur den of the music. It must have been so; for Lucille Avcnel'rose from her knees aud felt happier. How expressive tho whole sceno ! How typical of the Southern laud ! Bravo hearts are resting 'neath her turf, manly arms are prostrate, pale women kneel und weep Graves arc her sjirincs ; her temples ruins, while a kucliiug re frain seems to pour i s pooan music from its forests and its streams. Niobe ! Lucille Avenel returned to her sad dened liomoand brought little comfort to her fa;!;er. ?'Papa," said Lucille, after telling of her disappointments, "uncle and every body says, that things will soon be bet ter. The States will soou be reconstruc ted and restored to their prosperity." "Ab, daughter." said the old gentle man, sadly, "th'n.k of our losses, our ruins. I have been rich, aud thought to see you happy. Will these things be-re stored? Will they reconstruct my for tune, my spirit, my hopes? No, Lu cille," and the old man looked so sad, and bis voice quivered as be added ?'they can never reconstruct mo." Lucille camo and laid her beautiful head upon the old man's breast, and tried to cheer him, but he would repeat, und retired to his rest thai r?'gW; repeating, ??they will never reconstruct me." Lucille resumed her pinched and hurd life, sewing for her support, and suffered und bore up like a heroine. Atleugih a better day did dawn for her and hor "luthci. Her uncle wrote that eho could get employ incut to write in the govern ment offices in the city. So she und her father moved down, u"d obtained rooms, und Lucille went every day und wrote in the government office. At first, it was very stiaiige, and the polite young officer had to ahow her a great deal how to copy and nil up blanks. But after a while ucd the routine, of. her bitsii] She obtained a very good r serviles, and '?he aud-bei father were quite comfortable. " Of an evening they would gri round to uncle Ralph Sinclair's aud talk over VHPirow Urnen and phases in their his tory. ? s. ? Clara Sinclair, Lucillas cousin, was i highly 'dcligKied and amused at. the" '?events of tho day." as sfc<3 called theui, und declared that she would like nothing better toar) to write in the Yaiy^< offices. It was ineffably tmu to he her and her. uncle Peyton A'vene), i.n cillo's father, discussing tho "issues of the past." and "the living present. > -? JiPDC e r,e>',on! you he obliged to 'accept tho situation' aud admit these things to lie facta." "Ah! my dear ^irl, I hate that ex presslo'n, 'accepts the situation,' and some things uro facts which are not truths, a combination of accidental ei reu instances may produce very anomalous results. These results may seem to crush the truth to the earth, but believe me, its mighty principle will rise and be vindi cated. "Oh ! my dear sir, please spare me your metaphysics,' these things may be untruths but they are certainly tacts. If I nskod you whether you belioccd in negro suffrage as a principle, you would tell me, no, but. my dear - un cle, you must believe iu it as a fact. And what, sir, is to change the fact! Nothing in the world but your metaphy sics, and your hopes for some miraculous intervention, such as we Southerners looked lor during the war." "My girl, the negro is a doomed ani mal, and destined soon to leave only fos sil relics of his race, if be insists upon his right to vote iu this jUutry." / *'My Lord, uncle, any one is doomed that attempts to argue with you upon this question. *>Your ideas and yourself are fossil relics of the past." , ? .''i?U Juill V 1>UX, VMA -J>.ntVHgi-ll'mH ? : any more of an evening when I come here, for you are getting to be a complete Radical." "Oh, that reminds mo, Lucille, do you know that everybody says that Percy Waring, your old sweetheart, is a genu ine Radical. What do you think of thatf"' "1 have hoatd, Clara, that Percy Wor iog differed in his political views from most ol his sft tod his associates, bot 1 do not think that so harsh a term as 'Radical can in; applied to hitn.^ "Oh. my; there wo have it again There is no use to [day upon words and banter names. You know Lucille, that anybody in the S/>uth now. who differs with tha secession party is called .< Radi cal! I mean any body wh i is willing to ubide by reconstruction, ami who thinks that it will be permanent. In other words anybody who is reconstructed." And so they would chat ; Clara Sin clair iu her rattling style, arguing with her uncle Peyton, and criticising the po litical situation ; unclb Peyton, protest ing against the ' fate that had so vastly changed his circumstances, and those of his country. lie would ignore the pre sent unnatural state of things, as ho culled them, and adhering to the past, believed implicitly and with unswerving faith, that it would be vindicated and restored in the futUro. "The glory of the South has depart ed," he would say, "but the evolution Of issues, and tho settling of the political and social cqu'dibrur- upon its level, would restore it." One more scene, aud all our chiiractcrs will have been presented. In tho huge city, at his desk, iu his law office, sat Percy Waring writing. lie was n man of about twenty-seven, of medium height, and slight figure, with an intellectual head, aud fine distin guished features. lie had been practising law, little ever oiio year, ui d his busiucss was slowly in creasing, lie hud served with gallantry iu the Confederate nrmy, and surrendered the sword of Captain, when Leo's skele ton army, by capitulation, grouped itselt iu the last historic tableau, ere the black curtain lell upon the dreadful drama. Ruined iu fortune, Percy Waring, forced to the necessity ot seeking a livelihood, hud puisued tho study of the law, amid dishearte ning difficulties, aud was just beginning to tealizo the success ot Iuh efforts. Possessud of u rare aud commanding eloqueucc, and distinguished talent, tho uyes of the politicians wero turned to him. In several of his forensic ad dr., au smu of conservatism of political opinion, which suggested a com promise by wb?^io gentlemen of the Sooth could bow with dignity and grace to tlio stroke thi^t had impoverished them, and changed the entire fabric ol Jheir polities, r.nd the condition of their laborers, and yet launtuio the unsullied purity of their mAI economy, and even sec a hopo forl^htf rc8toration*of their ruined wealth-att expression of such jHj^^^^HK9^^Rking sentiments, had rather exposa^hiejjio the censure of his ;t??:-? pt? i;? te>, wjtiiij 7|'tjfehc same time it had brought hiuvrtttlfryttolice of the ?tuote 1 i 1 > c. n b o ?*t I ^f^B^m/^'1'.' l^'a mied the SouthcrijJ^itry.'>' At tho^n^PP*?if his introduction to you. reader, he iaj%riting a reply to a communication, hSjhud just received from a political organization, whose per fect* dtVriplinr Mjja?#t;droit manipulation of the colored p :ome by their secret so cieties, and sensation suggestions and promises, placid Uruhcir band? the su preme governmcht'of the Stute, Percy Waring Vus ambitious.

Suffice it to say,accepted the invi tation to address the political meeting to bo called by and under the auspices of the hated party that ruled the country. The time was appointed, and its an nouncement made Id the public. Percy Waring V friends generally cut his acquaintances-some without further formality,"others jfter hearing from his own lips, that .t ?iis really his intention to d?divc:- the adjr.ess. All of his i'tiiic'sJs did this excepj,. friend from childhood.

Is it a practical joke K Do you suppose that any of your bona Jiile i'ollow-citizeiis will eomo to hear you under such au spices. Look here, Percy, I have come to put a stop to this thing. Remember, Percy, your lather Bleeps in a soldier's grave, which he gained lighting lor prin ciples, against which you are about to raise your voice, and which you nrc about to recant, Remember, sir, you are a gentleman '. Roiuotubcr Lucille Avcnel ! You know you lose caste by this madness. Remember your profes sion, which is surely and steadily in creasing \our honors ami rewards! Do you expect to practice law for the ue groca and to settle their estates?" ??Really, R ilph. you arc iclnqtiont?" ' I am in earnc.-t Percy. Pur God s sake, tell me, what kind of speech do you intend to make." "I intend to express those sentiments which you have heard tue utter so fre quently in conversation." ??Look here, Percy Waring, I have done my duty. I cannot divine your motive nor your object in this madness. Rut if it is all in vain. my dear air, 1 cau but clear tho gang-way and lot you go. You know the consequences I" "1 suppose oue of them will be the loss of your friendship aud acquain tance." "No, sir, I shall not cut you when we meet, but I nevor expect to meet you in society ! You, of course, kuow this." '?Those, who caring not to uudeastund my motives uud my heart in this mutter, are worthless friends. 1 feel'that I am right, and 1 dreud not theso silly conse quences." j "Well, sir, I have said what I intended to, you know tho rejt." "Aud I shall say what. 1 intend to, to tuurrow night, and shall be happy to have you hear me." "I shall not bo there. Good tnotn mg. And ho left the offi.ee. Another historic, emblematic scene-.! Oh ! ho- this proud, brave, dowu-trod den people have clung to the brightness aud glory of their past. Their glory forever departed, and they mouru so pa thetically at its memorial. Scorning the fucts forced upon them, those facts subverting their entire eivili scatiou and. forming tho bases upon which a uew and entirely different one is tu be supcrstructcd, they cliug with wild, fond devotion to the memories of the ir revocable past, and hope, romantically, madly, that the future will restore them. History but repeats itself. Its course is not retrogressive. Perhaps iu the widen ing circle of its cycles it may reach the correlative and parallel point, at which it stood before, but it widens, complicated progresses. Percy Waring delivered his oration, and be was cut. Iustiuct prith elpquenee, burying the glorious past, with stately eulogy,-and gleaning from it lessons for the future, it pointed to that future, picturing the brightness of its new*era, and pointing out the practical duties of the different classes at the South. In his advico to the colored people, the eloquent speaker seriously disappoint ed those who bad invited him to speak, lie advised them to scorn their secret or ganizations, by which they mcebauically obeyed the will of the clique into whose' bands its springs were intrusted. He' bade them think for themselves. Their rights were guaranteed now irrevocably. They should uow consult only the common interest of the country?the interests of the employer, tho land owners, as well as" of those of the laborer. ivwuuuiiiyti iWS iiiauo uy io;.uton to interrupt him, but he had touched the right chord in the colored man's nature, and they would hear him. The effect of his address was thrilling, in i sistable. 'Twas the ouly way- tu reach the colored people, and they felt the truth ot the advice. His address was published iu all the city newspapers, and all classes inwardly tell that the po..iiiou Percy Waring bad assumed promised much good to all classes. Still he lost castr. His friends cut bis acquaintance, aud bo was denounced, "Radical." Twas an evening or two nftor the speech that Lucille A vend and her fath er were at Palph Sinclair's spending tho evening as usual. Clara Sinclair was, of course, brim full of chat for utiele Peyton and Lu ciile. "Well, uncle Peyton," she said, "bate yon read Mr. Percy Waring's specuh to the Radicals V "No, my girl, I have not certainly. My Heavens, whut can that boy mean! His father's bones must havn stirred in their grave. What would he say '{ What would ho say ?" "Re illy, sir, you might have read his speech. Rut.?Lucille, what do you think of your beau ia'e.ut now ? Are you disenchanted V "Tho views of Mr. Waring are cer tainly very new and striking to us. 1 am not enough of a politician to know whether he is altogether right or not, but I do sympathize wit1, him in the ostra cism which appears to be the consequence of it. 1 do think that these questions j ought to be discussed calmly and serious ly, and that ono ought to have a right to differ with tho majority in his opiuiou." "Undo Pey ton, do you hear all that, Lucille is us much of a Radical as I am, aud ought to bo deprived of tho boon of kissing you, as well as I. Rut I hoard to-day that Percy Wariug is the Radical candidate for Congress. That is his aim 1 suppose. Success shall be his crite riou." Aud so she rattlod on. Percy Wariug Was the caudidute lor Congress. The oolored people broke through all tho routine, of their party or ganization, aud would have him to bo their candidate. A large aud respectable portion of tho white voters rallied on him, appreciating his manly, iudependcut und promising course, anu ho was elected. Tho Statt was reconstructed, and re presented in Congrats by ono of her own citizens, "to tht, manor born," and elect od by the consent lind uid of the colored people, who thus properly appealod to responded generously and well. The State was reconstructed and re stored to her sees ! V\?* our stricken country. ? v m ? ? Agricultural Items. Hauimonton, N. J , sent a aii?i??P quarts of Btra*berries to market thi. season. ? "?
