sigh, of good old dame who was coming up
with a painful effort, toward the immense
crowd which was anxiously waiting for all
explanation Of this MYSTERY.
"Make room for Margaret" cried many
of the young people Al the same time.
The good old woman made all haste to
reach ile group where the authorities and
the master we're collected.
She paid no attention whatever 10 tho
crowd around her, and scarcely thanked those
who stood aside for her TO pass. Her coun.
tcnance, ordinarily pale, assumed an unwoni-
ed color; her eyes spaikled, and it was very
PLATA that something unaccustumcd vas agi
taiing her.
Suddenly she pushed aside, with a violent
and convulslye motion, the master who was
before her. She throws herself down, and
falls upon her knees before the dead body /:
she did not shuddrr.
"Peter ~ she cried, and with her hands,
weak and emaclated by age, she fonded the
face Of the corpse before her.
She pushed aside his moist locks, and fond.
~ kissed that forehead which sixty Years ago
was urrd in the bowels Of the cold earth,
and which, had it not been for its unlmely
burial, would now have been wrinkled and
dcfnced by aye.
"'Tis Peter" she cried again, 81, is the
friend Of my childhood, it is my bctrothed -
and tears, which seemed to be excited by lov
and grief, in turn, balhed her withered check.
81 waited for you," size cried. "Ah! | knew
should not die without seeing you again,
without embracing you for the last time"
The byslanders rndeayored 70 tear her
away, 10 separate her from such u horrible
spectacle, but one on which she was Teasing
with pleasure which soon exhausted her
strength but it was in vain. She clngs to
the body Of Peter, she clasps him in her weak
arms, she wished 10 die upon the heart which
no longer beats, but which once beat for her
alone. SO many mysteries were then ex-
planned. Poor Peter! He had
wished to surprise his bride, and without
doubt had hidden the presents, which he in
tended for her, not far from the spot where
he usually labJred. How horrible mus, his
long agony have been! How terrible
punishment
/ lie went back in his thoughts TO the mids,
Of the mcrriment which was in honor of him
self, liza thought of his dismal ed triIr, of his
father, of his mother. Bot he was
destined to see them no more; his last groan
was unhcard by them he was stuffed, smoth-
cred aud whole mountain lay over him
Margaret had said truly III will wait for
your return" She was unable to survive
the violent emotions which the discovery of
Peter cost her She hreathed her lost with
the name Of Peter on her lips ; but when size
made her vow, little did she think that her
nuptial bed would be the cold coffin boards,
and that her lovers hand would not be clasp
ed in hers I'LL she had closed her ewes forever.

of excellent constitution. We should Judge
them, generally, to be from one-tenlh Ia one
fifth larger in size, than the average Of good
Merino sheep. Some of their necces are
almost as fine as the finest Saxon, and none
are of an inferior quality; they are also re-
markably free from gum; and yet the fihres
of the fleece are so fine and close together as

This, when washed in ttpid water, unlike
gums, is easily cleansrd out (being nothing
but pure animal SOAP leaving the wool soft

These sheep will make an excellent cross

recommend them TO the attention of the

NIFTY IN VERMONT.

The necessity of strict legal limitation and
restriction is more urgently required in guard
ing the avenues to the Treasury, than in al
mos, any other part OF legislation moth
ing should be left 10 discretion, which can be
settled by law. The word discretion is too
elastic TO occupy place in legal phrase,
where any thing like certainty becomes ma
terial especially when used TO modify ap ow-
er TO disburse the public funds. And yet we
have laws in great numbers, comforting pow
ers, on many agents of the government, to
! allow claims against the State in their dis.
crelion, evenrn cases where the service might
be defined and the compensation settled. 1t
is rot easy to imagine any sufficient reason
for permitting the law to remain as il So
every service should be defined, which will
admit OF it, and the compensation fixed, and
! thus the call for using a discretion, which
may have not, would be avoided The pro-
visions in the law Of 1912, for the promulga-
ION of rules 30 secure uniformity of charges,
was designed To correct the inequalities Of

Our regret that the House of Representatives re-
fused to print the Memorial of the National Reform
ers for radical change in our Public Land Syste IN,
has already boen expressed. That memorial, we
understand, was drawn up with great care and
force, and embodes propositions which will not be
treated with contempt when the People shall have
heard and comprehended them. We regret this
slight the more because the House is manitesty IN
want Of that very information which this memorial
would have supplied Messrs. MCCONNELL OF Ala
and JOHNSON of Tenn. evidently suppose they are
acting in accordance with the purpose Of the Ma
tional Reormers in proposing to make gift of 100
acres Of Public Lands in fee simple to every landess
citizen who will claim it. But they could not be
more utterly mistaken. The Retormers demand
that all monopoly of and speculation in the
Lands yet Public shall be stopped. hencetorth and
forever They do not ask merely that landless men
oftoday may be provided with q Home but that the
best possible provision shall be made for future gen.
erations also. Now this proposal to give every
lanAless 100 acres of Public Land outright and
leave all the lands subject TO unlimited speculation
and monopoly, would, if successful, afford little
present qualification and possibly relief al the
pense infinite miseries and prvation In The future
Nearly all the Landless are needy; many OF them
are improvident; not few are dissipated. To offer
each quarter section of Public Land as free sit
with liberty to sell The fee simple 10 any one, would
be simply enabling the Spectator tc obtain at sec
ond,hana for few dollars what now costs him
hundreds and thus to monopolize Counties Instead
Of Townships. AL this ground has been gone over
once IN the Of the Military Bounty Lands which
cost the soldiers ample consideration in fatigue,
privation and blood, and were in good part sold by
them for atwentieth par, of their value. Ten years
after they were granted or drawn, not one Of the sol
diers In ten held an acre OF these Lands-probably
few OF them held any at all. To give every body
who chooses quarter section outright of the Ma.
uons Domain with liberty dispose of it and come
again. Is in effect TO squander that great Inheritance
more was'efully than hitherto. We are sure the
Heformers would never consent to this certainly
