M&mmmE. A PLEASANT LOVE STO?T? All my long life I had known Mai Hoore. All ray life I loved her. Our mothers were old playmates ?i fest cousins. My first recollections are aj??oy, in a red frock and morrocco shoe rooking a cradle, in wbich reposed a sum h?ired, blue-eyed baby, not quite a ye: old; That boy was myself?Harry Churcl that blessed baby was Mary Moore. later stilL 1 see myself at the litt Bphool-house, drawing my little chaise i to the door, that Mary might ride hom Many a beating have I gained on sue occasions, foi* other boys besides me like her, and she, I fear, was something of flirt, even in her pinafore. How elegant! she came tripping down the steps when called her name. How sweet her bk eyes looked up at me. How gaily ran out her merry laugh. Nb one but Mar could ever bring her heart so soon to h( lips. I followed that laugh from my daj of childhood till I grow an awkward blusl ing youth; I followed it through the bea ed noon of manhood ; and now, when th ? frosts of age are silvering my hair, an many cElareii climb upon my knee an call me "father," X find that the memoric ci.youth are strong, and that even in gre hairs, I am following the music still. "When I was fifteen the first great so: row "bf my life came upon my heart, was sent to school, and was obliged 1 part with Mary. "We were not to see ea? other for three long years. This, to nu was like a sentence of death, for Mary wi like life itself to me. But hearts are toug things-after all. I left college in all the flush and vigc of my nineteenth year. I waa no longe y' awkward and embarrassed. I had grow into a tall and slender stripling, with very good opinion of myself, both in ger ' eral and particular. If I thought of Mar Moore it was to imagine how I could da; zle and bewilder her with my good look and wonderful mental attainments, an never thinking she might dazzle and bi wi?d?r me still more. I. was a coxcoml I know ; but as youth and good looks hav fled, I trust that I may be believed when Bay that self conceit has left me also. - An advantageous proposal was made t ma at that time, and accepting it, I gav ?. up all idea of a profession, and prepared t go. to India. In my hurried visit home, c twa days, I saw nothing of Mary Moor? She had gone to a boarding 6chool at som distance, and was not expected home ur til the folioing May. I uttered one sig! " to rthe memory of my little blue-eye* playmate, and then called myself "a man again. In a year, I thought, as the vehicl whirled away from our door, in a year, o . three years at the most, I will return, an< if Mary is as pretty as 6he used to be . why, then perhaps, I may marry her. v ? And thus I-had settled the future of j young lady whom I had not seen for fou years.' ? I never thought of the possibilit; iaf her refusing me?never dreamed tha she would not condescend to accept mr oficrv But, now I know that, had Mary me me then, she would have despis?d me.? Perhaps in the scented and affected stu dent, she might have found plenty of sport But, as for loving me, I should havefoune myself mist aken. India was roy salvation, not merely be cause of my success, but because my la borious industry had counteracted the evi to ray nature, and had made rae a bettei man. "When, at the end of three year?, ] prepared to return, I said nothing of the reformation in myself which I knew Lad taken place. They loved me as I was, I murmured tc myself, and they shall find out for them? selves whether I ani better worth loving -than formerly. I packed up many a token from that land of romance and gold, for the friends Lhoped to meet ; the gift for Mary Moore ? selected it with a beating heart; it was a ring of rough virgin gold, with my name and hers engraved inside?that was all ; and yet the sighfof the little toy strangely thrilled me as I balanced it upon the tip of my finger. - To the eyes of others, it was but a small plain circlet, suggesting thoughts, perhaps, tty its elegance, of the beautiful white hand that was to wear it. But to me?how much was embodied there ! A loving smile ona beautiful face?low words of welcome?a future home and smiling face ?-all these delights were hidden within that little nng of gold. Tall, bearded, and sun bronzed, I knock? ed at the door of my father's house. The lights in the parlor win do;-, and the hum of conversation and cheerful laughter, showed me that company was assembled there. I hoped sister Lizzie would come to the door, and that I might greet my family when no strange eyo was looking carelessly on. But no?a servant answered the sum . mons. They were too merry in the parlor tb heed the long absent one who asked fbr admittance. A bitter thought like this ran through my mind, as I heard the sounds from the parlor audjsaw the self suppressed smile on the servant's face. I hesitated a moment before making myself known, or asking^ for any of the family. And, while I stood Bilent, a strange apparition grew up before me; from behind the servant peered out a small golder* head, a tiny, delicate form followed, and" a sweet childish face, with bine eyes, was lifted on mine?so like to those of one who had brightened my boyhood, that I started back with a sudden feeling of pain. " What is your name, my pretty ?" I asked, while the wondering servant held the door. "Mary Moore." "And what else ?" I asked. She lifted up her hands to shade her eyes?I had seen that very attitude in an? other, in my boyhood, many and many a time?and answered, in a sweet, birdlike voice? "Mary Moore Chester," lisped the child. My heart sank down like lead. Here was an end to all the bright dreams and hopes of ray youth and manhood. Frank Chester, ray boyish rival, who had often tried, and tried in vain, to usurp my place beside tifegirl, had puecceded at last, and had wo?wrer away from mo. This was tho child?his child and Mary's. I sank,*body and soul, beneath this blow, and. hiding my face in my hands I leaned against the door, while my heart wept tears of blood. The little one gazed at me, grieved and amazed, and put up her pretty lips as if about to cry, while the perplexed servant stepped to tho parlor door, and called my sister out to see who it was that conducted himself so strangely. I heard a light step, and a pleasant voice, saying? "Did you wish to see my father, sir ?" I looked up. There stood a pretty, sweet faced maiden of twonty, not much changed from the dear little sister I had loved so well. I looked at her for a mo? ment, and then stilling the tumult of my heart by a mighty effort, I opened my arms an said? "Lizzie, don't you know me ?" "Harry 1 Oh, my brother Harry !" she cried, and threw herself upon my breast. She wept as if her heart would break. I could not weep. I drew her gently into the l'ghted parlor, and stood with her before them all. There was a rush and a cry of joy, and then my father and mother 6prang towards me, and welcomed me home with heartfelt tears. Oh, strange and passing sweet is such a greeting to the wa]'-worn traveller. And, as I held my dear old mother to my heart, and grasped ray father's hand, while Lizzie clung beside me, I felt that all was not yet lost, and although another had se? cured life's choicest blessing, many a joy remained for me in the dear sanctuary of home. There were four other inmates of the room who had risen on ray sudden entrance. One was the blue-eyed child whom I had already seen, and who now stood beside Frank Chester, clinging to his hand. Near by stood Lizzie Moore, Mary's eldest sis? ter, and, in a distant corner to which she had hurriedly retreated, when my name was spoken, stood a tall and slender figure half hidden by the heavy window curtains that fell to the floor. When the first raptuous greeting was over, Lizzie led me forward with a timid grace., and Frank Chester grasped my hand. "Welcome home, my boy !" he said with loud cheerful tones, I remembered so well. "You have changed; but no matter about that?your heart is in the right place, I know." "How can you say he has changed ?" said ray mother gently. "To be sure he looks older and graver, and more like a man than when he went; but his eyes an i smiles are the same as ever. It is a heavy heart that changes him. He is my boy still." "Ay mother," I answered sadly, "I am your boy still." Heaven help me ! At that moment I felt like a boy, and it would have been a bless? ed relief to have wept upon her bosom, as as I had done in infancy. But I kept down the beating of my heart and the tremor of my lip, and answered quietly, as I looked into his full handsome face? "You have changed, too, Frank, but I think for the better." "0, yes?thank you for the compliment," he answered with a laugh, "My wife tells me I grow handsomer every day." His wife. Could I hear that name and keep silence still ? "And have you seen my little girl ?" he added, lifting that infant in his arms and kissing her crimsoned cheek. "1 tell you, Harry, there is not such another in the world. Don't you think she looks very much like her mother used to." ? "Very much !" I faltered. "Hallo !" cried Frank with a suddenness which made rac start violently, "I have forgotten to introduce you to my wife; J believe she and you used to bc playmates in our young days?yes narry !" and he slapped me on the back. "For tho sake of old times and because you were not at the wedding, I will give you leave to kiss her once?wit mind, old fellow, you arc never to repeat thc ceremony. Come? here she is, and I for once wautto see how you will manage those ferocious mous? taches of yours in the operation." He pushed Lizzie, laughing and blushing, towards me. A gleam of light and hope almost too dazzling to bear came over me, and I cried out before I thought, "Not Mary." It must have betrayed my secret to eve? ry one in the room. But nothing was said ; even Frank, in general so obtuse, was thia time silent. I kissed the fair cheek of the young wife, and hurried to the silent figure looking out of the win? dow. "Mary?Moore," I said in a low, eager tone, "have you no welcome to give the wanderer?" She turned and laid her hand in mine, and said, hurriedly? "I am glad to see you here, Harry ?" Simple words?and yet how blessed they made rae. I would not have yielded her up that moment for an Emperor's crown. For there was the happy home group, and the dear home fireside, there sweet Mary Moore. The eyes I had dreamed of by day and night, were falling I beneath tho ardent gaze of mine, and the sweet face I had so long prayed to seo was there beside me. I never knew the meaning of happiness until that moment. Many years have passed since that hap-1 py night, and the hair that was dark and glossy then, is fast turning grey. I am now grown to be an old man, and can look back to a happy, and, I hope, well spent lifo. And yet, sweet as it has been, I would not recall a single day, for the love that made my manhood so bright, shines also upon my white hairs. An old man. Can this be so ? At heart I am as young as ever. And Mary, with her bright hair parted smoothly from a brow that has a slight furrow upon it, is still the Mary of other days. To mc she can never grow old nor change. Tho heart that held her in infancy and sheltered her in the flush and beauty of womanhood can never cast her out till life shall cease to warm it. Not even then, for love still lives above. ?"Oh!" says Prentice ; "that the glori? ous old American Eagle upon the banner that floats over the Capitol at Washington might swoop down with thundering wings and unsheathed talons among the vultures, the kites, the cormorants and the cariou crows that defile the halls beneath." ?

Helm, of Ken tucky, wo find in a late number of the Louisville Courier Tho will is on record in the Hardin county Court, and was written November 15, 1865, after he had been elected to tho United States Senate, and just previous to his taking a seat in that bod}', and prior to the various Con? gressional usurpations enactod since tho war. These are the sentiments of a man devoted to the Union and unalterably op? posed to secession, respecting tho right of government to plunder private individu? als of their property : "Assuming it as probable that the Gov? ernment of tho United Statos, by force and fraud, against and in contempt cf right and justice, of law and tho Consti? tution, State and national, and all law, civil or moral, deprive my representativos of their labor, I place those who have and may remain on my places at the dis? posal of my wife and son, John. I re? quest that such as remain faithful and obedient, shall remain in the service of tho family on such terras as may bo agreed on. "I regard this act of the Government, looking at it in all its bearings and con? sequences, tho greatest crimo of this or any other ago. In view of the conse? quences which, in my honest judgment, would flow from it, 1 was fixed and un? alterable in my opposition to tho late un? happy and desolating war; and now, in tho performance of this solemn act I thank God in the sincerity of my heart that He gave that direction to my mind. No man lived and breathed who was more devotedly attached to the Union of thc States as formed by tho compact?tho Constitution as made by our fathers? than I was. I hold that it was formed by the free and unconstrained will of the people, and depended for its perpetuity on tho virtue and intelligence of the peo? ple, the fraternal affection of the sections, and thc promotion of their mutual wel? fare. I was for peaceful adjustment and against war, believing, as I did, and now do, that war would bo, and I now believe is, practical dissolution, unauthorized by tho Constitution, and against tho spirit and genius of our form of government. The South was conquered : but in my firm conviction tho North will sooner or later learn that they are tho whipped party. The nico of intellectual giants has passed off the stage. Tho moral tone of tho people is gone; corruption and vice rule the hour and tho day. The mass of tho whole peoplo havo lost con? fidence in tho rulers of the Government j they place no reliance in its justice and honor. This is a mclanchoh/ picture. But my mind is mado up. that the future of this Government will havo a down? ward tendencj-, and ultimately, and at no very distant day, will result in disin? tegration or a central despotism. "This is an unseemly place to introduce my political opinions. " 1 do it to solemn? ly impress my family with my opinions, in the firm hope that they will stand by tho form of Government as it came from the hands of our .Revolutionary fathers, and opposo modern reform. I believe the Abolitionists, as a political party, ca paLlo of any crime?possessing no re? deeming quality." -?5 "Circumstances Alter Cases." When the colored delegates from Wash? ington city and from Delaware demanded to be admitted to scuta in t he quadrennial Conferonea nt Chicago, and to share in tho deliberations of that body, tho audacity of tho proposal seems to have struck many of tho white clericals with surprise. Un the spur of tho moment, some of tho members of the Confer? ence were disposed to admit tho black brethren. Others, however, wero deter? mined they should not be recognized. For two wholo days the debato on this subject was pressed, and at last it was left to tho niuo Bishops lo decido what ought to bo dono in a case where no less than two hundred and fifty white minis tors had agreed to disagree. So far as the great body of tho Conference is con cerned, tho question of negro equality has been for tho present evaded. Thcro still remained ono other trouble? some point, lt was by no moans difficult in a hospitablo city like Chicago to as? sign the whito ministers to comfortable quarters ; but the difficulty was to dis? pose of thc two colored delegates, unas? signed, but who could not be turned off without food or lodging. Nobody seem? ed willing to take them, and it must be confessed it was a pieco of downright impertinence in theso brethren to thrust themselves not only where thoy were not wanted, but where they disturbed tho consciences of two hundred and fifty white ministers, of whom it was intended the Conference should bo exclusively com? posed. In tin's dilemma, a certain Brother Hatfield, with a spirit. worthy of an an? cient martyr, roso and said, "tho colorod brethren would be very welcomo to the hospitality of his bed and board during tho session of tho Conference." This he? roic act of self-abnegation was greeted with immenso applauso, and tho perplex? ing affair Boomed finally to havo settled itself very pleasantly. * But Brother Hat? field is a married man, and there arc such things as "curtain lectures." Now mark the sequel. "On the following morning," says tho Chicago Times, "Brother Hat? field put in an carly appearance. His countenance wore a look of discompo? sure ; and he looked very rauch like a man who had not slept well. Getting the floor, he proceeded to state that, upon reelection, ho had decided that it would not bo convenient for him to entertain the colorod brothers, and therefore ho begged permission to withdraw his proffer of* tho day before." It was a painful matter, he said, to dwell upon : but the fact was that it wasn't exactly conven? ient. At last accounts, tho two colored brothers had been assigned to a cheap colored boarding house, on Fourth ave nuo, and peace, like a dove, had lighted upon tho walls of the block.?Baltimore Gazette. ? "I feel too lazy to work," said a loaf? er, "and I have no time to plav, so I'll go to bed and split the difference."" ? On a warm summer's day, three men were brought before a fair, round Dutch magistrate, accused of drunkenness. His honor, having premised with a hearty swig of cool punch, began with the first : "Yon rascal! pe you kilty or pe you not k "Guilty." "Vat you git dhrunk on ?" "Blackstrap." "Vat! git dhrunk on blackstrap, you willian you! Den dis be mine everlastin' sentence, dat you pe fined forty shillings." The second culprit being questioned in like manner, as to guilt or innocence, like? wise owned himself guilty. "Now, tell me, you wile dhrunken rascal, vat you git dhrunk on ?" "Sling." "Vat! you git dhrunk on sling, yon graceless wagabone ? you swillin' sod, you ! Den I gives my darnal sentence, dat you pe fined twenty shillings." The third and last prisoner was now brought forward; and, like the others pleaded guilty. "Vat you git dhrunk on ?" "Punch."' "Ah, you dipplin' rogue you-! I fines you shust notting at all ; for I gits dhrunk on punch raineself sometimes." -o-? Sorxn Carolina (So-called) and U. S.
