envy inconsistently leads its blinded vic
Tins to turn from all the consultations of q
resting conscience. from the proud sense
of the esteem of the worthy. to reach af-
ter conquests, which, even achieved, are
often as futile as wanton.
From the days of Hannibal to the pres
ent, there has occasionally been an indi-
vidual ruined by the envy of others, but
it has generally been when the object
was. like the gladiator, chained-chained
already in the helplessness of some pecu-
liar fatality. In the great majority of in
stances. envy fails in harming those
against whom it is directed. 1t may for
ever chill the spirits, it may temporarily
harm, but it seldom can defeat the ultimate
ends of a man Of integrity. Almost al
ways where it seems to have accomplish
ed its purposes, it has been misplaced, the
victim over-estimated; and the vanquish-
er like Don Qui1ote, e1ulting over
an imaginary giant. 1t is blazoned
among the monuments of fame, it is writ
ten on the pages of history. it is proclaim
ed in the daily life around us, that envy,
which desires and strives to destroy, is Of
ten made the instrument to give a holier
significance to a life; and, where there is
the prescience of renown; a more desira-
BILE Immortality to name.

AROMARCE OF REAL LIFE.
Margaret Fuller.

There are few of our readers who have en-
tirely forgotten the sad wreck and attendantloss
of life Of the ship Elizabeth" at Fire Island
Among the victims was Margaret Fuller Mad
anne Ossoli) and her s'Memoirs," as since pub
lished, embody the details of truly eventfu,
romantic and tragic history Margaret Fuller
was born at Cambridgeport, Mass, in 1916
Her father was lawyer, and discovering the
extraordinary capacity of his daughter, he edu-
Gated her himself, and in fact crammed her with
learning. She strange girl and a stran-
GER woman; full Of passionate attachments and
wild impulses. On the sudden death of her
father, her difficulties and duties became at once
distinct and depressing. She went out as a
teacher, and also became a writer. While Miss
Martineau was in America, she formed close
intimacy with that lady, and in 1889 she Or
ganized a series of Conversational Glasses of the
Ladies Of Boston. Subsequently, in 1914, she
became regular contributor to the New York
Tribune, and afterwards visited Europe. She
evidently supposed that she would become dis
tinguished for genius and influence The fol-
lowing passage from her journal is significant
upon this point

my young energies to personal relations; but,
at present, l feel inclined to impel the general
stream of thought. Let my nearest friends al
so wish that l should now take share in more

In August 1917, sheshad an interview with
Mazzini, and became of his most enthuslas-
tic admirers. At Rome the romance OF her life
commenced. While attending ST. Peters she
for the first time met the individual who after
wards became her husband, the Marquis Ossoi.
Her story is thus told -
hShe proposed to her companions that some
place in the church should be designated, where
after the services, they should meet; she being

in 1850, and amendment abolishing the religious
| test with numerous others Of very imp ortan
character, was submitted to the people for their
| approval at the annual election in March, 1851
| This was the period Of the Atwood difficulty
| which eIsa-Gssed the whole attention of the peo-
pie; and this together with the prejudice excl
ted against the dongs of the Convention by the
whole together, as the Federal papers and some
of their members Of the Convention had threat
ened should be the case. As an Indication of
the political character of the votes against
the amendment, it may be stated that 60 towns
gave majorities in favor of the amendment abol-
ishing the riligious test Of which 45 gave plu-
ralities for the Democratic candidate for Cover
nor, while only 13 gave pluralities for the Fed
eral candidate and 81 gave clear majorties for
the Democrats over all others, while only 8 gave
majorities fer the Federal candidate.
The vote on the same questions in 1851 pre-
sents similar result-77 towns then gave ma
jorties for abolishing the religious test. OF
these, "a gave pluralities for the Democratic
candidate for Governor, while but % gave plu
ralities for the Federal candidate ; and 50 gave
clear majorities for the Democratic candidate
over ali others, while 13 gave majorites for the
Federal candidate.
The facts which we have thus briefly presen-
ted, show conclusively that Gen. Pierce is in no
degree responsibilities for the the existence of
the religious test in our Constitution, as he has
always favored its Addition and done ali in his
power to effect it. they show also that the
Democratic party, by their papers, their leading
men, their speakers and their State Conven-
ton, have long f&gored the abolition of
that test, and it was through their efforts that
Convention was at las called and an amendment
abolishing that test was laid before the people
for their approval. They show also that for a
long series Of years tie Federal papers opposed
every proposition 10 can q Convention to abolish
this test that when one vas st last called those.
ed that Sf ttr thsF lShang men threaten
they would do all in their power to defeat all
mendments /; that such an amendment was made
and the defeat Of all the proposed amendments
followed according TO the threat above given
They show that the Federal papers and
their leading members of the Convention oppo-
sed the submission of the amendment abolish
ing the religious test, second time to the peo
pie wIfle General Pierce and other Democrats
favored It, And they show that, both times
when the amendment was voted upon, more than
three tines as many Democratic towns, OF
Federal towns, gave majorities in favor Of abol-
ishing the religious test. These are facts which
cannot le disputed, and upon them We are will
ling that all intelligent men shall base their
opinions as to the degree of responsibility which
belongs to the Democratic party for the existence
of this test.

Major Jack Boyd was che OF the earliest set
tiers in this vicinity. The Major, berring his
propensity to take anything in the eating line
upon which he could lay his hands, was clever,
genteel fellow. Having repeatedly, while keep
ing boarding house, robbed his neighbors of
their edibles, his penchant was finally cured in
the following manner. Early one morning the
Major shoulder his rife and after walking a
short distance, succeeded in ''bringing down" 9
fine, fat young deer, which he dressed in the
most approved manner, and affixed to the branch
es OF a beach tree, after which he renewed his
pursuit of a game. A young man named Kib
who had frequently been the Majors victim,
having Witnessed the Majors operations, deter
mined to trick him. Taking down the deer, he
concealed it, and after brief hunt, succeeded in
capturing wolf, which he dressed and substi-
tuted in the place of the deer He then went TO
town to await the Majors return. A short
time afterwards the Major was seen coming
with his fine, young deer on his shoulder BIS
boarders were promised nice dinner that day
Noon arrived, fulfilling the Majors promise Of
as he termed it-a 8" nice you1ag der." The
Major served up splendid slices of the '.young
animaP-the boarders complained ofits strenth
and tenacity-but he had no suspicion. The
meal finished, the Major came to the front door,
smacked his lips, and congratulated his friends.
kIb then told the story-the boarders groaned-
the Major colored, swore denied it, threatened
but that was the end of his operations upon his
neighbors.-Dagton (Ohjo) Item.

Certain coalition prints in the pay of the State
Department are laboring to create an impression
that the submissive tone of Mr.. Websters truck
ling letters relative to the Cuban prisoners led to
their release, and are therefore claiming for his
diplomacy great merit Now, who does not know
that if the Spanish Queen had dared to refuse
their pardon, her refusal would have aroused
one universal burst Of indignation throughout
the whole length and breadth of this land, and
that all the ships which the united navies of Eng
land and France could intervene would not suffice
to prevent her loss of Cuba? Who does not see,
therefore, that this act of the Spanish Queen was
q wise concession on her part to what she must
have been advised was the public sentiment Of the
United States, instead of its being, as the para.
sites and fatterers of Mr.. Webster would now
persuade us, the result of his diplomacy? Who
can believe that the gallant Crittenden and his
associates would have been murdered in cold
blood, or that the other deluded followers Of
Lopez would have been sent to Spain. if Mr..
Webster had done his duty as an American Sec
rotary Of State, having a proper regard for the
honor and interest of his country, would have
