The speaker would frequently in the course of his
remarks point out the close similarity between the
system of government devised BY Moses and our
owp and wound up with strain of well-directed
and glowing eloquence, of which we can, from
memory, convey but feeble idea.
1t is not to Greece and Rome that we must look
for the cradle of liberty-the dreadful handwriting
on-the-wall of Despotsm- the Declaration of indie
pendence is but an cello from the deep Munderings Of
Mt. Sinai! The fundamental principles of liberty
were laid down by Moses at the dictatiOn of
God; they are the germs of an eternal truth long
crashed to the earth but now rising with invincble
power. Passing, it is true, through long baptism
ofbood and carnage it is moving on in certain tri-
.umph aud sooner or later the whole world shall be
free! As for ourselves, we live in new land of
promise-we have our Moses-he sleeps on the
green banks of the Potomac, but God has granted
MS the gracious influences of his memory, and the
enjoyment of those three-blessed institutions he
was jastrqmeutal in founding. Oar path of duty is
piain-inscribed in characters as legibie as the
milky.way that spans the frmament. We must love
God, love the Union, love the law, and threw the
steady weight of our individual influence to aid in
their faithful maintainance Palsied be the hand,
blistered be the tongue, and CONCEALED the fountain
of life of that man who would pluck jewel from
his country's brow, interpose an obstacle its
Heaven-ordained progress!
We could not remain to hear the discussion as to
the merits of our Puritan forefthers, but from the

Rosie Talbot, the sweet spring flower,
the tender exotic; she lies under the
shade of Greenwood. II was just year
from the day of the picnic that she lay
by the window on a couch. The gentle
June breezes famed her brow, and
swept back her golden eurls, but they
would not tempt her, or win her back to
life. with gentle smile she sighed /;
she was gone. The death angel, that
beautiful angel, bad crowned her with
Immortality and soon they laid Rose in
the grave, victim Of Thompson Her
rick's cruelty and coquetEy. Beautiful
white, roses bloom over her grave, fit
embIems Of the sleeper beneath. They
say consumption carried her away, but
it was the wearied heart, for Rose was
torm-stricken, earthweary.
No man ever died of broken heart
many woman has mourned herself to
the quiet grave for no other cause.

CHAPTER III.

Mabel Carolus was a gay girl of sew
enteen, very short, very slender. Her
Liliputian form was exquisitely moulded,
yet her mind and soul were large, giant,
compared to her tiny frame. She looked
very young; she had eyes dark, deep and
unfathomable; she had strong affections,
pure heart, and, in regard to externals,
she was above the ordinary class. Her
hair hung in golden brown curls to her
waist; her hands and feet were very
small, not out of proportion. No one
ever called her Miss, or Mabel, but her
father, mother and friends all called her
Queen Nab. She loved dearly to play
off some mischievous trick on some one,
and fun was her delight.
Queen Nab was "ladye love" of
Thompson Herrick, though he found
more than match in her for wit When
he protested that he loved her tenderly,
there was a queer little twinkle in her
dark eyes which made him feel very un-
comfortable. There was also sort OF
dignity about Queen Nab that made her
name peculiarly appropriate, and some
times her nostrils would dilate, her form
would be drawn to its utmost height, the
eye fash, and then Herrick would cover
beneath her glance; but he could no
give up her acquaintance, for her family

CHAPTERIV.

A year had passed since the incidents
recorded in the last chapter. Thompson
Herrick was in Europe, far from the
scenes of his folly and Irritation. The
year had been fraught with changes /;
sorrow, joy, hope and fear were each in
turn predominant.
From the day of the picnic party Ju-
lian Talbot was changed man. He
became an honor and pride to his ma
tive city his talents he cultivated, and
in the city none were honored more than
he. Queen Nab Carolus became a
bride six months after the party, and is
still called Queen Nab Talbot. She is
the pride and delight Of Julian, who
guards her from every envious breeze
from everything that could grieve her
She is pretty little wife, only so very
small; but she is tall enough to fill hel
husbands heart, whose eyes follow hel
with volumes of unspoken love and ten
derness as she quickly flies from place t.
place, or looks up with merry smile OF
pouting lip for kiss.
Eugene Grant is soomaa in the high
est sense of the word; she is yet prout
and reserved, but with generous heart
She deyotes her time and attentions +

and there are many hearts thai thrill q

herself on the sofa. 1t was late when
Julian returned, and when he passed into
the drawing room he saw his sister
asleep.
Darling he murmured, bending over
her. Her cheek lay on her little hand,
bright, joyous look yet rested on her
face as if her joys and hopes still follow
ed her into dreamland. Herrick's words
occurred to him, and, thought be, should
Herrick ever attempt to ensnare her
guileless heart, woe be to him. If ]
thought-but no, he could not, would not
ruin her happiness, my sweet Rose, my
tender exotic, and tear, soft and warm,
fell on the rounded cheek of the sleeper;
brothers tear, fraught with love and
fear, hopes and desires for her happiness.
1t was sad thing that Rose had cast
aside her brothers heart for the willy
stranger.
When she awoke she saw the anxious
expression oD Julian's face, and she strove
to remove it.
Have you received any calls to-day,
Rose?' asked her brother at the dinner
table.
Only one, Julian; Mr.. Herrick, your
friend
Herrick here! did he call on you?'
Yes was there harm"
Rose, he is no fit friend for a young
girl; I would rather you'd give him up,
said he, regarding her, searchingly.
The face grew pale, the lip quivered
and tear trembled on the maiden's eye
lid.
Rose he spoke gravely, half sternly
Its nothing, Julian, nothing; and the
voice grew eager.
From that moment Julian Talbot knew
her heart, but he would wait for further
disclosures and as often as before ht
was with Herrick, but it was to discover
his feelings, and he was determined to bt
revenged for the unhappiness that hi.
sister must endure sometime.
/ Meanwhile Herrick unsuspectingly tolt
him all about Helen, Emily, Eugene, ant
one or two more, but he saw not tn,
scornful look the naughty brow. or th,
glare of Julian's eyes. Yet after all, tn
gentle Rose, with her witching beauty
had ensnared the heart of Herrick. H
began to see that he was captured, but h
chose to quell the passions that would owe
master him.

CHAPTER II.

There's danger in the dazzling eye,
That woos thee with its witching smile;
Another, when thou art not by,
Those beaming looks would fain beguile.'
Dearest Rosa, birdie mine, you are
all of life to me. Tell me, Rosa, do you
love me?
'Herrick, you know l do, and pair
of large, fearless blue eyes, were uplifted
to him.
Rosa Talbot loved Herriek more pas
sionately than did any one else. Others
could see faults. She, secluded from the
world, fancied him good and noble. Her
heart was his her young, fresh, innocent
soul yielded its best devotions to him, in
/ stead of her God. Had her brother inn
agined her feelings, Herrick would have
bitterly repented his wrong doing. As il
was, his conscience sometimes insinuated
very troublesome things; he could moi
fight duel with it, as he often threatened
to do, with insulting comrades, but he sti
fled it by resolving to atone-in bis ole
age
Shall you attend the pic-nicnext Wed

kened an interest in her heart but he
would wait now.
Helen and Emily Malson were young
girls who had been OUT two or three
winters, yet they were very lovely and
still uns potted from the world. Mr.. Her
rick was very fascinating; he professed
to love them; and Helen, with her
hearts first awakening, found that he was
too dear for friend. Emily, more sell
fish, did not care for his love; she wanted
his admiration Helen was noble-heart-
ed, with mind as far above Herrick as
nature can create. She did not know
him, and never having been caressed,
neverShaving heard the words of affec-
ton, she invested him with all the vir-
tues which her unbounded imagination
could supply.
His next call was on young lady next
door. Eugene Grant was beautiful
girl, and an orphan, residing with mai
den aunt who tenderly cherished her
lovely niece. Eugene was very proud
and reserved; she loved her aunts soci-
ETY., or her own better than all the world.
She would sit for hours in her own apart
ment without being wearied. Her books
and her thoughts, her wild day dreams all
made her draw more into herself. But
Thompson Herrick saw all her proud
nature with his usual character; he tho't
that such prize must not escape him.
Dearest Eugene, you know l love
you; why pretend to doubt Z? he asked,
Soothingly, in answer to her accusations
of love to others, and his toying with
her.
Thompson, said she, passionately
you do not love me as you ought, or as
you say you do. You fold Emily Malson
last week that she was all the world tc
you. Can you love two at once, and
equally?'
You must not heed Emily, darling;
love you and you alone. Believe me
darling Eugenie,'
Il will, though the world were agains
you
Right, love; l must go now.'
You will come again soon, dear Her
rick?'
Yes, soon : and he pressed kiss OF
her pure brow, and went to call on anoth
er lady, leaving Eugene re-assured.-
She told her kind aunt all, who exclaim
ed:
, My Eugene, l know Thompson Her
rick to be deceiver. He says he love
you, but he loves no one; the man
heartless. You have proved nay affec
tions for you, my child; for my sake cas-
him from your heart. You do not lov
: him; yours is only passing fancy wa
a few years and you will find my word
" true.

Julian.
