The young merchant was leaning, with
weary, half-dejected sort of expression,
over his desk, about which were scatter
ed bills, letters, in almost endless confu-
sion. Something had gone wrong. His
clerks knew this when he came into the
store that morning, SO gloomy and reti-
cent, SO thoroughly unlike his usual,
brisk, energetic, jovial manner. that car
ried sunshine into the dark ware e-rooms
Even the porter himself felt something
OF this, for he stood at respectful dis
tance from his employer, and didn't in
dulge in any Of his old and stale jokes.
Suddenly the merchant looked up and
saw his wife making her way through
the store, straight to his desk.
How pretty she looked that morning,
in the little tasteful hat, with its crimson
trimmings about her cheeks, that were
SO charmingly becoming, and that half
smile dimpling the rosy, small mouth,
that he could hardly believe had said
such very unkind things to him only a
few hours before.
Now Harry Leeds was proud of his
wife, and of the evident admiration
which her occasional entrance into the
store always excited. He Immediately
hastened forward to meet her, the sur
prise in his face half chasing the clouds
therefrom.
She came close to him.
Harry" whispered the soft. eager,
timid voice, I'm So very sorry | said
those cross things to you this morning
l was greatly to blame, and they've made
me unhappy ever since, so have come
down here to make up and hear you say
once more that you love me-"
The cloud was all gone. There was a
world of fond tenderness that looked down
from those dark eyes on the lady.
Why, bless you, Adelaide you
have not come clear off here for that?
was more to blame than you, great deal,
but some business matters were troubling
me, and then I'm very touchy fellow, l
guess, anyhow"
"No, you're not /; l felt all the time
that you were displeased with me but
you do love me just as we'll as ever? ?"
That smile, that glance, would have
satisfied any wife.
She's jewel, anyhow" murmured
Harry Leeds to himself, after she left, as
he arranged his disordered desk, with a
face as changed and bright as the sky
outside, for the sun had suddenly plunged
through the clouds. eff we have pretty
good sales this week, I'll get her that

The American Union.

The Baltimore Patriot, in late issue.
gives graphic~account of the reception
and entertainment of the guests from the
Western cities, who arrived in Baltimore
at recent day. Among the speeches of
the occasion, those of Mayor Swawn of
Baltimore, and Gov. Chase, of Ohio,
were pre-eminent. One of the conclud-
ing paragraphs of Gov Chase's speech,
touching upon the American Union, de-
serves the widest circulation. He said
" You have spoken eloquently, sir, of
railroads as bonds of union, and your OBJ
servations were as just as they were elo-
roads can be disunionist. The social
intercourse which they foster, the ties Of
business which they create, the mutual
dependence which they establish and ex-
hibit, make disunion impossible. There
must, of course, be differences of opin-
ion on some points. Real grievances
may from time to time demand redress.
But there is no evil of which disunion is
proper cure. And the more we see of
each other the less likely shall we be to
commit the error of thinking otherwise.
The fact is, that we who live along the
line of the American Central Railway,
don't mean to let this union be broken up.
Maryland will not consent to it, | think
l trust that Virginia will not Ohio, l
am sure will not. Nor Indiana, or Illi-
nois or Missouri Who, then, will? No,
sir. We may differ henceforth, as we
have done heretofore We will maintain
our respective opinions and positions with
candor, courtesy, irmness ond resolution.
And we will refer whatever question may
be between US to the great American tri-
bunal of popular discussion and popular
Judgment, But in the time to come, as
in the time past, we cleave to the Union
as our ark of refuge, and under God our
surest guarantee of prosperity and pow
er and abiding glory

Yet nerve thy spirit to the proof.
And blench not at thy chosen lot
The timid good may stand aloof-
The cage may frown-yet faint thou not
Nor heed the shaft too truly cast
The foul and kissing bolt Of scorn;
For with thy side shall dwell at last.
The victory of endurance born.
Truth, crushed to earth, shall rise again
The eternal years of God are hers;
But error, wounded, writhes with pain,
And dies among her worshippers.

According to the decision of an Albany
justice, seducing young ladies of means is
not an offence against the statutes. A
young lady sued the father of her illegiti-
mate responsibility for support for the in
FAINT. The defendant did not deny the
paternity, but contended that complain
ant had $500 in bank, and was able to
support the child without applying to the
authorities. The Justice admitted the
business of this motion, and dismissed the
complaint. This decision is an important
one, and shows that it is. much safer to
ruin" young woman of means than a
young woman poverty.
