Lydia, / am a ruined man.

Lydia, ! am a ruined Inan,''
This was the exclamation Of Lauson Wat
kir2, as he entered the parlor one evening,
about a fortnight after his interview with Ian
grave. lie was paler than usual, and every
nerve was shaken with agitation.
Ruined - repeated his wife.
YES Langrave has failed; he has entirely,
completely sunk. Every cent is gone
"But you are not all lost; something can be
saved
"No, not a dollar Fool that L was, L

The young man did not finish the word. He
was excited, but had judgment enough not TO
hurt the feelings Of his wife by speaking haTgh
ly Of her uncle. He was for the while CON-
pletely Frustrated The blow had come upon
him with Il crushing weight, and he felt it
keenly.
TIE gentle wife moved to the husbands
side, and placed her arm about his neck. She
trembled violently, and it was with difficulty
that she could speak.
'Do not blame my uncle too mueh," she
murmured Everything is not lost. / am
left to you, and will do all that l can TO help
you, but in your life trials you will find that
L am not useless. Do not despair, dear Lau-
son, something may turn up to assist you"
The young gentleman did not speak. He
returned his wifc's embrace, and at that mo
ment she saw more Of real, grateful JOY IN his
eye than she had seen there before for months.
At the end of tho week, the yOang mer-
chant S business was settled up, and he found
himself the pOlsesSOr of Just the amount of pei
sonal property which the law allowed him.
Everything had been swept away-every cent.
Yet there was one thing that remained within
his grasp. His wife held, by her own right,
small farm In the country. 1t was her birth
place, the old house of her childhood; and
her uncle had secured it to her in such man
ner that no misfortune of her husband could
fall upon it. Lydia begged of her husband to
lind home upon that farm. He hesitated
awhile, and then consented. He had at FIRST
thought Of procuring a clerkship, and trying
once more TO set himself up in business, but
the way looked tedious to hint seemed too
hard to gain the place from which he had
fallen, and he gave it up. 1t was too much
tor his pride to occupy menlat position now
and he turned away from the great city weary
and sick at heart.
The homo which Lauson Watkins now re-
ceived at his wife's hands, was in truth a
lovely abode. The farm was an excellent one.
bearing the choicest fruit, and capable of the
most productive cultivation. The dwelling
was sweet little cottage, surrounded by great
elms, with cherry and plum trees in front,
while at little distance sparkling ike silver
In the sunbeams, lay a lakelet, into which a
hundred bubbling brooks poured their crystal
tributes Lydia sold her jewels, and thus she
realized enough to purchase a choice stock for
the iarn besides having enough left to hire 4

THE POLITICAL VALUE OF sAMBo

THE POLITICAL VALUE OF SAMBO
Among the many valuable uses Of slave
labor in The United States, one of the prin-
cipal is the munition of war it furnishes f,r
the contests OF politicians. Not one election
takes places in which Sambo, so useful in
the corn, cotton and tobacco field, is not
made to plough, sow and reap the political
crops for all sections of the United States
The Northern politicians not only steal
Southern Sambo bodily. whenever they can
lay hands on him, but make u1le of the whole
race in every canvass, to help themselves into
power and this without Offering The slight
est Compensation for it. What would they
do without their black hobby horse

MESSRS. SOULE AND MARCY.

1t tappears that the late minister to Spain
left Washington without seeing, or wanting to
see Mr.. Marcy, whom, it is further reported,
he intends to show up in his forthcoming
book in manner that will be anything but
"marciful." The friends ofthe Secretary how
ever insist that, though the old chief might
not make as respectable figure as even
the Marquis de Turgotin duello with Soule'
yet when he is challenged to intellectual
digladistion, Soule will inevitably get the
worst of it. They insist that, in pushing on
the controversy, Soule is leading himself, as
Falstaff led his men, where he will be well
peppered, and that he will soon have oeea-
sion to wish he had acted on the principle
of Watts's hymn:
'iThst MsrcyI to others show,
That, Marcy, show to me"
