person Jfliliigeitccr. HIT V AjUEH'irilllS!.. It was thirty years ago'-thte- very- day t&at I picked it up from tho painted, woocion stoop which adorned the exterior otMa^'-father's dwelling.- The frosty breatb. of the morning had no doubt some thfng:ta-th>. with the heightened.color in my ^heeks, as I closed the front door and passed- into the sitting room where the tarfciry were gathering, tor the customary devotions of the morning. I tear the rev? erent words which tell from ray white haired's lips, round-no echo in my roving throbbing heart that morning, and 1 hardly waited to see him and nvy'two . good brothers muffle up and tace the cut? ting air, on their'way to their business of the day. Alone in my little room, I could open and peruse with happiness the con? tents of the wrapper. Ifc^is hut an hour or two since that I heard "my two pretty nieces, Bella and Alice*wonder at the custom of Valentine sending, and ..vote it stupid and nonsen? sical. They do not know ot the one treasure of my life, which I always eon oe?i within the folds of my dress. This morning I took it out and scanned it well from the;superscription on the wrapper to . the, very last Hue. It is old now, and worn and yellow. The pretty, jingling Sues enclosed in a wreath.of embossed . Teaves^ would probably sound inharmoni ' OU8 and insipid to you in this age of won? derful and refined literature, but to my ear the metre is as correct as those pretty ' verses of Tennysou's which Bella1? lover delights in reading to her?while they 'speak to me in tones as sweet and deeper ? love than are daily whispered into Alice's ears by"any ot her myriad adorers. All"the day of. the reception of my in? valuable love token, I wandered about ; tbq. bouse in a state of mind bordering ' o$6n-lunaeyrI suppose. Mother watched nre' closely to prevent; ray sugaring the potatoes for dinner and salting the pre? serves for tea. I do not remember the number of times I locked ^myself up in my roomrand repeated the declaration of love contained in my Valentine. The little piece ot looking-glass." into ;?hk-h I was requested to glance to view ; tEe.Valentine of my darling sweet-heart, reveals now a face worn with care and sorrow j a pinched and withered tace, yet On. that day it returned a fresh, young, ''* a?d I know a pretty one. ^Towards dusk I watched from the ivin do;w the.gathering twilight. It. waned and deepened until finally the grand red \'~ sunset glow.' in the heavens disappeared, and:gave place *o a-gray darkness, until tin? moon arose, leaving me watching u nd tiesiiing for the well known step which soon .would pass on my lover's return from'hlsdaily labors. The village factory whistles screamed at tho tops of. their shrill voices, "go-o-home''?and thon came the rushing of man}: feet creaking over the crispy snow. But it seemed to me - ffiat the crowd from the factory moved along with an .unaccustomed serious air, not with the usual shout and cheer, think? ing only of the bright tires and loving ; we&ameTs-awaiting them at home, but gathered in gioups and conversing ea rn? estly with each other. But among them all came not my Robert. Then quietly, and also in groups, came the working .gfrls- wrapped well in their warm shawls and hoods, catching their breaths and burying their noses in the soil depths of their woolen scarfs, glancing, I imagined, pitifully at our windows. Soon came the stragglers in twos and ones, until the * street ..was .deserted, but still- uo Robert. The golden rays of the moon shone brightly down now upon the snowy pave - ment, and though when I turned my head , and looked back into th? lonely parlor, .darkness reigned; without, . the light, owjhg to the moon's reflection on the ? anow, seemed bright as midday. Sweet moon, whose presence never wearies I To her I confided my secret joy, and with me she sympathized. I confessed to her all in a foolish, incoherent way, how Robert had spoken the lovo of which I had so long been certain ; how a ring con? tained In my precious Valentine was to be the signal of his acceptance, if worn ; what a devoted wife I should niako to him ; and bow tree we should be from the ordinary strife ot married people. I whispered her all of my fond hopes for -ibe future, but never a word of the dread and doubt which was hovering over my mind. She approved, I thought, from the ever increasing splendor which she show? ered around me. Then I tried in tho dim distance to discern the form of my Rob? ert; at times I was certain of his walk, the style of wearing his 'apor some ot her littlo peculiarity belonging only to him, arrd then my heart would keep up its wild throbbing as I thought of how I should-have a word with him at the front door; but it would turn out to be some shadow which the outstretched and ha e Knobs of the trees would cast upon the snow or some strange form of villagor re? turning homo?but never Robert. I some? times beard my mother's or my brother's voices at-the door calling me to tea. I answered them mechanical!}', and still stared past the straggling bouses on our street off into the shadowy disiance. 1 explained to myself almost satisfactorily, that Robert, in his kindness ot heart, had waited awhile beyond working hours to assist bis employer in some way. And . now a crowd drew near?a iMiont, slowly moving one, surrounding one of the sleighs of the factory. With much curi? osity, I hastened to the door-step and asked the efiuse- Said a coarse but kindly meaning voice. ult'a Robert Davis, miss; he got caught some way into the machinery at Che fac? tory. He's pst dead, miss. Caught in the belting and crushed in pieces." I can hardly remember now what I did at this terrible moment. I seemed con- \ seioti8 of being in an agonizing nightmare.! The- features of the men in the crowd tnuaodrto frightful 'hobgoblins, the ling branches of the trees extended tluwiRt Ives , until they threatened to grasp and carry j me away, and tho round face of the moon turned traitor and grimaced at me tu> a tearful? manners Slowly the sleigh with its burden moved; along, and tl e strag? glers behind looked at me with sharp in quisitivoness. I did not faint, as would, in these days, seem most been morgen u young lady in tinu'- of trouble and excite went, j I watched ll o bearers ot my Robert lar ! oat of sight; and still sat on the doorstep. L began- to ope? my eyes widerr to pinch myself and be persuaded that I wa?-real? ly not the victim of" a horrible deltrsion, and then I laughed at my fcars and the croakers ot whom it seemed to me 1 had just dreamed, grasped my Valentine, kiss? ed my ring, waited still tor Robert, and pictured out our future luippinoss. Still, doubts dispelled my com lort. I began to realize why I yet sat in the cold, on tho door-stone. Rushing to my room I caught up a heavy blanket shawl, and leaving the house, trod out upon the snow, resolving .to know the truth by going to tho house ot Robert's motlier, in the neighboring village,^ distance ot three or four miles, where 1 judged they would deposit their burden. I passed the villago tavern and there heard men outside talking of the terrible event. Still. I telt they were mis? taken. There must have been another Robert Davis. Had I not my Robert's love tokens, one at my heart and one on my finger, and was it p< ssible to prevent the fulfillment of his vow? The moon shone down upon me now with a hard, ugly glaro?the snow piled deep .above my ankles as t trod along unmindful ot the beaten path, now in the furrows which the feet of the hors s and the runners bf the sleighs had made, and often crossing fields of unbroken dritted snow. When I passed the farm houses the watch dogs barked at me luriously; the windows were bright and cheerful, though they presented no attraction to me on ni}' anx? ious, wearisome journey. 1 became en? tangled in shrubs; I climbed opposing fences'"abd at last discovered the widow Davis' cottage, which I had often passed that very winter while sleigh-riding with Robert. I had never seen his mother, but had bern told by him of her excellence and loveable qualities. As I reached the house I saw a party of men go off in the very sleigh which had passed my father's door, and there were many people con? stantly entering and leaving. I crept up to the window and peeped in ; the cur? tains were up. One or two persons stand? ing before them obstructed my vision. I could remain- quiet no longer. Rushing intQ tli? house, Tdiscovered' upon the bed a-jammed, indistinguishable mass, which my fears told me correetlj', was all which was left of my Robert. That is all of the terrible scene which I remember.- ,One comfort remains mo. Spite of every one's expostulations, I fully believe I spent that night in sweet con? verse with my lover. He told me. as we sat hand in hand of his joy in tho posses sion-'of my heart : gave much advice as to my way through life, and promised to walch over me on earth, and greet my coming in Heaven. This is why l spend so much time in the old village graveyard. Bella and Al? ice, when the}' accompany me therefor the purpose of gathering materials for crosses and wreaths read on the tomb stone, ''Robert Davis; aged twenty-five," then look'.'nt my grey hairs and wrinkled face,-and wonder if there vas ever any poetry between us. Old Memories.?In one of his less stu? dious moments. Gen. Albert Pike indulges in the following : For at least thirty years?(we have known the city of magnificent distances quite that long)?the bills of fare of the Washington (V. C.) hotels have been the fruitful causes of ridicule. There has never been, in any hotel in that preposterous city one bottle in four of the different wines paraded on the bills ; nor one name of Tj wine in two correctly given. If any person who had charge of any hotel in Washington ever knew anything about wines, he had a contempt too profound for the mob ot men of all soi ts who infest those caravenserias, to furnish them with wines fit to drink. We had, for a winter or two jointly with three or four others, a special table at the Kirkwood House, hired an extra servant, paid the cook, went to market, bought our own wines, and could give a good dinner?and did, too to many clever gentlemen and noble gallant fellows; alas ! many of whom afterwards tell, "with souls aflame each other," on the question | whether these States would be better off as two republics clasping hands, than as one with tts members always wrangling. Among our guests, in those golden clays, were James Jackson of Kentucky who died in harness in the Federal ranks (God bless him!?for he was a noble, generous, true hearted good fellow, and we loved I him dearly) ; Bull .Nelson, whom we all endured, and who could talk a man blind ; Keitt, gallant fellow, in whose composition there was not one drop of thc black blood of envy, malice, or ill will; Arnold Harris, Forbes Bnf/.ou; both of whom we knew as Lieutenants in the old 7th Infantry, at Fort Gibson in 1862; John J. Crittenden, the noble generous, genii.1 old man ; and his son, afterwards a Federal General ; Breckiuridge and Powell, Pearce, of Mary? land, Wigtall, Sebastian, poor fellow, Rob? ert W. Johnson, Grimes, of Iowa, an old Whig, now degenerated into a Radical and still thinking himself all right ; with many less known to fame, but not less ex? cellent ; why, those were halcyon days? and one could get a good dinner at the -Kirkwood, if he would see to it Himself. We have drifted a good way in the gulf stream of old recollections. Of what use are they tons now? The sun has set tor us, and the last crimson glories ot his dy? ing have faded out on our sky. We are a foreigner and an exile in our own land. Psha ! let the world stagger on. It is a mad, drunken world at the best; and its statesmen know as much about their busi? ness as Washington hotel keepers about dishes and1 wines. "As Good As a Kron er."?By hook or by crook, the editor of the Cleveland (Kast Tennessee) Banner'has obtained a "titicate to vote," over which he crows in the fol? lowing rampageous style : All Setti.v.?"Rally round the flag boys"?sound the hngag?beat the tin pan?, proclaim it from the house tops and publish it through all the streets of "Askalou," that we are as good as a nigger, and want everybody to know it. Yes sirs, we have a 'tificate to vote,'?right bran new at that? and they way we are going to pop it against" Radicalism, will be some. We've been occupying a "back seat," in the cold, until we've ?rot d?d mad,and weare now hurting badly foran eleotion lo come along so weean enjoy our "indepenoy." 'VW.ho's afraid?" clear the track, here w? have come with our 'titicate and the sniffle bar iel. ? j General Grant and his Position .before the Country. There was a time when General Grant was regarded with hope by the conserva? tive portion of the countr}'. They saw the danger which impended over the in? stitutions and the welfare of the land, and emboldened by thecouduct of General Grant at the surrender of General Loe, they trusted that repose and unity would be effected by his avowed moderation. Never was there a more splendid oppor? tunity ol servico to tho common country afforded to any individual in the history of nations. lie was the succcsslul hero of the North. It was under his command the war had been brought to a conclusion. The peo? ple of his, the dominant section, were thereupon prepared to accept his guidance and opinions. All that he had to do was to pronounce openly and distinctly for the rights of the Southern commonwealths as States, and of their white race as citizens, without disfranchisemcnt or disability. Can it be doubted that this would have been the course of peace and of fraternity? Had General Grant honestly and thor? oughly thrown himself forward in favor of an immediate restoration of the Union, this would longaioee have been accepted by the Northern mind, and accomplished by its Congress. And this the people had a right to ex? pect. While in command of the armies of the United States, ho was opposed to emancipation by militar}T power, because it interfered with the regulation of this question by each State for itself, "in oth-. er words he held and maintained that the late war was waged not for the suppres? sion of the Southern States, and the sub? jugation of her people, but simply for the maintainance of the Union and of the Con? stitution, with the rights of all of the States thereunder unimpaired. So, too, it is a matter of history that General Grant was utterly opposed to negro suffrage. lie regarded that the late war waB fought by the North for no such purpose. He looked upon it, not only as desirable in itself, but a public calamity. On this subject he was not reticent. This was before he had fallen into the meshes of Radicalism. He expressed his senti? ments freely and decidedly upon this question. Ho openly characterized to Senator Doolittle, as late as 1866, the attempt to force negro snffragein the Southern States, as " unwise," and as productive of a "war between the two races there." And this fact is established by tho fol? lowing extract from a speech of Senator Doolittle, delivered at Milwaukee, on Oc? tober 2, 1866, and never, so far as we are informed, contradicted. Said the Senator speaking of his interview with General Grant: "But I will not stop here. This is too serious a matter for men with flippant tongues to puss over as it there was noth? ing in it. The other day when General Grant was here, spending several hours with him in free conversation upon this subject among others, he expressed to me the same opinion. Said I, 'General Grant, I never quote private conversation with? out express permission. Ami permitted to state what I now state to you V Said he, 'Certainly, thero is no concealment on my part.' And he stated to me in con? versation that a caosidcrable portion of the troubles between the whites and the blacks that had already occurred was in consequence of the unwise attempt to force negro suffrage in those States. He said further that if. the Federal Govern? ment were to attempt to do it and en? force it, it would undoubtedly produce war between the two races there." The past opinions of General Grant, therefore, admit of no question. They are placed by his own orders and declara? tions beyond dispute. But, alas, the Radical party has shorn him ot his strength. He has yielded his opportunity for good to the embraces of this Delilah He will find the paralleT as of old, and t hat tho very embraces he has castaway his opportunity and faith for will yet commit him to destruction and ruin. The Radical party do not design Gen. Grant to be either their leader or Presi? dent. They have held the glittoring bait aloft to seduce him to their purposes. This the}' have accomplished. Ho has played into their hands. Having attained this they will cast him aside, und General Grant will at last awake to realize that ho hassurrendered a constitutional Union, to find another than himself its unconsti tution usurper.?Charleston Courier. Requisites for Success in Life. A venerable merchant of New York, now retired from business, at an entertain? ment lately given him by some of his fel? low-merchants, to testify their appreciation ot a lone: life of unsullied commercial honor and integrity, rr ;de an address, in which he set forth, for the benefit of those entering business, the maxims upon which he had al ways acted. These may be briefly comprised in subordinating self-indulgence in every shape to the accomplishment of the pursuit which is chosen in life; to fidelity to employers as alike the dictate of duty and of interest; to the most rigid adherence to principle and honesty, and to great caution in the selection of friends and associates. Somewhat similar counsel has been also given by Mr. A. T. Stewart, the wealthy merchant of New York, who says, in reply to qtrestions as to the secret of his success, that he has no secret, but that it has been an invarible rule in his establishment to treat customers precisely as the seller himself would like to be trea? ted were he in their p'ace; that is to say, misrepresenting nothing, the price being fixed once and for all at the lowest possible figure, and the circumstances of the buyer not suffered to influence the salesman in his conduct in the smallest particular, the same principle of justice being observed throughout the large transactions of the holism, and especially in its dealings with employees. Whilst it is not very probable that by simply adopting the conrsc of Mr. Stewart in this respect, every one may expect thereby to become a millionaire, it is not to be questioned that fair dealing is one great principle of success, and that all who want to buy will prefer to deal with a man if they can find him out, from whom they can get what they want at a fixed and uniform price. Though in the beginning ] of business a rigid adherence to this rule j may render koncsty, in its competition with lies and equivocations, slower in ob? taining success, yet, as soon as the charac? ter ot such a mau becomes known, and his mode of doing business uudei stood,, there is no longer, if he has ordinary habits of punctuality, eractness and energy, any competition worth naming between himself and those who act on different principles. There is a natural abhorrenee of trickery and dissimulation in the human mind, and those who employ them in busiuess and trade are not likely to deceive the same customer more than once, and that one imposition is sufficient to convert a man who might have been a friend into an enemy, and perhaps an active one. On the contrary, business transactions conduc? ted on the principles of equity and fair dealing enlist the friendship of buyers and Becure their custom, because their own interests are subserved in being certain where they can get the exact article that is desired on such terms as will leave a reasonable but fair margin of profit for the seller. "Whilst however, young men about en? tering into business should bear in mind that this principle is indispensable to per? manent success,, there are other maxims without the observance of which this will be unavaillmg. These are referred to in the advice given by the retired merchant of New York, alluded to at the beginning of this article. One of the most important of these is self-denying devotion to the object in view, and to duty to employers. Unity of purpose and energy of action are the great secrets of success in every de? partment of human action. The man who enters upon the conte&t of life with divi? ded aims and an irresolute will is defeated before he has begun the battle. The as? pirant for success must choose between that and selt'indulgence. It is only for him to decide whether the end is worth the sacrifice; whether economy, sobriety, carefulness and abstinence from dissipation are too high a price to pay for success in lite, and act according. Like the comba? tants in the Olympic game, the competitors must prepare themselves for the struggle by keeping under their bodies and bring? ing them into subjection, and come into the arena stripped for the contest, before they can hope to obtain the wreath of victory.?Baltimore Sun. Giving the Devil his Due. ?There is a point in the following anecdote: A parson was making a call upon an old lady, who made it a habitual rule never to speak ill of another, and had observed it so closely that she always justifed those whom she had heard evil spoken of. Be? fore the old lady made her appearance in the parlor, her several children were speak? ing of this peculiarity of their mother, and one of them playfully added: "Mother has such a habit of speaking well of every body, that I do believe if Satan himself were the subject of conversation mother would find out some good quality even in him." Of course, this remark elicited smil? ing and merriment, at the orginaiity of the idea, in the midst ot which the old lady entered the room, and on being told what had just been said, she immediately and involuntarily replied: "Well, my children, I wish we all had Satan's industry and perseverance." ? Snpposing Mrs. Lincoln to have be? come, indeed, deranged, there is a striking coincidence between the Presidential fam? ily of the United States and the late imperial family of Mexico. Maximilian was murdered, and his Empress is a lunatic. Mr. Lincoln was assassinated, and his wife is said to have gone daft. The characters of the two families are as wide apart as the poles; but their fates are alike. PENDLETON FACTORY. THE WOOL CABDS AT this place are now in complete running order.
