HOPE.
Again I sat before the grate, and as I
wntehetl the glowing embers, I road tho
history of a lifo struggle there. A wo
man knelt, ami with clasped hands and
quivering lij>s, ?dt up her end cry to
Heaven. Loving, but unloved ; trusting,
cringing, but deserted, waa the record
that I rend upun those agonized features.
She lu.usL have help to bear this great
sorrow, and, in her anguish of spirit, she
flies to tho All-loving, the All-merciful,
for aid. Ijong she kncP, and prayed,
with straining eve*, and uplifted hands.
Then a glimmering light was seen, and
a bright, shining fof m titood beside her.
It was the bright, glad ungel of Hope.
With a soft, caressing touch,she hud her
baud upon the bowed head, ami lifted i.
up. Shu spoke words of encouragement,
that cheered the failing heart, and with
a firm, steady iiand, ehe fannied cheerful
ly and hopefully .iote the future. The
cry grew calmer, and then censed, and
she arose, with the light of hope shining
in her clear, dark eyes, that had been eo
dimmed with tears.
"I will hope/' she. murmured; "I must
hope."
Days, weeks and months went by, and
still the angel walked by her side, cheer
ing her when sad, sustaining her when
weak, ever pointing bravely into the
future. Often ihc time seemed long, and
the bitter tear drops fell. Often her
heart grew faint, and her courage almost
failed, but the good angel did not desert
her. Every morning was cheered with
the sweet hope,, that before another set
ting sun, the dear wish of her heart
would bo realized, and the beloved one
return; and through the dark hours of
each night, hhc listened anxiously for the
footsteps that came not.
Years came and went, and still sho
hoped and piaycd, watched and waited.
Will her bright hopes ever be realized?
- The scene changed, and again I saw
her standing in the shadows, but not
alone. Joy and love spark led in her soft,
dark eyes, and made her face beautiful,
as she laid her hnnd in that of tho wan
derer, with perfect faith ami trust.?
Years had not quenched her love, or the
durk waters of coldness and neglect
overwhelmed it; and with heart knit to
heart, and hand clasped in hand, they
went out together into the future.
As they passed from sight a glow of
radiunt brightness teems to ling :r where
their feet had rested, and in that light I
saw another vision revealed.

bUtt WASHINGTON LETTER.
from our own correspondent.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 22, 18712.
The Jenkenses of the local pres.* here
have been overhauling the military Major
Domos of the White House, regarding
the writing of the Presidential message,
and the public nre informed that noue
but special visitors will be received by the
President while bo is engaged on the
message which', ns usual, wili take alums
ten days, devoting two hours each day
to the work, making in nil about twenty
hours. The impression sought to be con
veyed is, that Grant writes the message,
and docs the job quietly. From the dic
tion, and the matter contained in them]
lie caight well he the author, and in the
time (specified, but competent judges con
tend that a fist* other than his is easily
recognized in them. Well, if he will only
turn, over a new political .leaf us some
sanguine reformers say ho will, and
secure the backing of his friends in. Con
gress to curry out what he is going to
promise, there will be a general joy over j
his conversion, but. with, tue experience
of the pust, one cannot be hopeful of his
future.
ClVtt service rkporm. ' " ~~f
The President will lind' that his civil
service reform will not bring him that
peace which he so dearly loves. The
politicians see their patronage about to
slip from the'r grasp, and Ulysses will

bees jdiortl), for what they lose is in

purpose of the policy. The negro Fred.
Douglass in his paper, the New Er?)
pitches into the civil service reform and
says that the hoard of broken down
school masters, who are to examine the
applicants for office in read in', ritin', and
'rithmntic, will'give the office to the one
who passes the best examination, though
he he a noisy Democrat, or a pardoned
rebel. That is how the ciyil service re
form works in practice. The Republi
can here endorses the views ?>x pressed by
the Era, that it is advisable to . exclude
rebels and Democrats, and to this cud
the civil service rules should he so chaug
ed as to confine its workings exclusively
to the faithful, which it thinks Gcucral
Grant intends shall be the case. All this
will not alter the case as it now stands of |
n struggle between the President and the
Senators and members of Congress for
power, which will create lively times be
fore it is over.
extension ok thi: session.
The projmsition to extend the session
over a couple of the spring months by
rt-Jimcting tho law ?f 1807, which pro
vides that "each new CJongress meet on
March 4th, meets with almost unanimous
favor from those members of Congress
who havo already arrived here. There
are eighty-throe bills which along with
other legislation can seareely receive
the attention of Congicss by the 4th of
March, as there will be considerable time
lost by the holiday recess. The consider
ation of matters arising out of the Wash
ington Treaty will consume a great deal
of time.

^ The coinmission appointed to investi
gate the outrages committed on the Rio

>**e tswsra of these outrngcv, nothing ha?!
been done but promises to rastruin the
lawless invasions from that Republic.
The President will recommend legislation
by Congress to remedy the mutter.
INCREASE OK SALARIES.
The President proposes advocating an
increase of compensation to heads of De
partments and bureaus, and to all officials
holdi.ig responsible position.? and requir
ing ability to fill them and will recom
mend in his message an increase of salaries
equal at least to the rate of compensa
tion paid to privntc parties. The Presi
dent contends that true economy demands
this in governmental service. There is
no doubt that small salaries is false
economy in either public or private
service. There are to my certain knowl
edge very few officials here who receive
sufficient pay to enable them to support
a family respectably, and those whose
position force them to entertain, do so
from their private means if they are
honest, aud from their pickings if sharp.
THE FISHERIES.
The legislation relative to the fisheries
and the report of the commission to ad
judicate the claims in that which wero
awarded io gross at Geneva, is now being
prepared at 'he State Department and
will he given to the committees on Foreign
Affairs soon as Congress aaseiables.
A WRONG IMPRESSION
Prevails in regard to the tenure of office
of Cabinet Ministers. It being held by
prominent officials here that Cabinet
officers aro not required to tender their
resignation nt the end of the Presidential
term, nor is tho President obliged to re
appoint if he wishes to ietaiu his advis

Dressing aod Diplomacy.
The Pall Mall Gazette, of September
D says:
Ladies and others who take an interest
in variations of costumes will pick up
some useful hints by studying the pro
ceedings of the three Emperors at Berlin.
Seldom, indeed, have three sisters in one
family displayed such ingenuity iu this
respect as that exhibited by their ma
jesties at the grunt court dinner served in
the White Hall on Saturday evening.
The Emperor of Austria, says tho tele
gram, wore a Russinn uniform and a
Prussian order, the Emperor Alexander
a Prussian uniform and an Austrian
order, and the Emperor William an
Austrian uniforn with the Russian order
of St. Andrew. No two emperors, it will
beubsf ived, were dressed, alike and. all
three had dipped iuto each others ward
robe. Probably we shall next hear of
the Emperor of Austria, in a Prussian
uniform with a Russian order, the Em
peror Alexander in au Adrian W1^0101
with, a Prussian order, and the Emperor
William in a Russian uniform with an
Austrian order. If .would] require a
fatiguing amount of arithmetical, knowl
edge to calculate, the various changes
their Majesties will be able to ring on
the eot?noon Wardrobes th,ey have thUf|
pleasantly established, but we may take
it for granted that this interchange of
clothing augurs weil for the peace of
Europe; at all events, it is quite impos
sible that war could be .declared until
each Emperor kad retired to hfc.'wn
dressing:roora ami put on hisjpreper. hab
iliments. A sudden appeal to arm?,
when the Emperors were dressed in the
wrong uniforms would lead to such.Berj-,

his big stomach having been driven
against a saddle-pommel. William II,
it is supposed, from Walter Tyrrel's
arrow. Fenry I from much grief and
more lampreys. Stephen from the lilac
passion?which 13 a fine name ,for ex

on by rage. Richard I by the arrow of
Bertrand de Gourdon. John, from eat
ing too many peaches, and washing them
down with too much new ale?though
peaches never hurt any one yet, and you
can't cat too many of 'cm, save thut they
are so confounded costly; and had John
joined the total abstinence society, and
kept the pledge, he might have lived
fifty years longer, to be any thing but a
blessing to his subjects, particularly tho
Jews, to whom he was dentist in ordinary.
Henry III went off from a sort of fever.
Edward I (Longshanks) from dysentery
aud general weakness, which made it
impossible to use his long legs either in
walking or riding. Edward II was kiiied
with a hot poker. Edward III expired
from a general decline, at the grand cli
macteric. Richard IPs head came iuto
collision with 8ir Piere Exton's axe, and
so was clouted beyond repair. One au.
thority says he died in Scotland, having
escaped from his English prison. Henry
IV died of white leprosy and black care.
Henry V was killed by dyuentcry, after
escaping the dangers of Azincourt.
Henry VI is supposed to have been
killed?some sny that the Duke of Glou
cester (who made himself Richard III)
tickled him to death with his dagger?
and others that he died of frenzy, on
hearing some bad news, which was the
more strange because he had seldom
heard anything elfee during his life. Ed.
ward V is said to have been smothered
by his ancle Richard, who had pressing
occasion for his throne?but the story
rests on slendnr evidence. Richard III
died by the sword, on Bosworth field.
Henry VII was worn out by anxiety and
trouble. Henry VIII died frcm exces
