coming up strong as the rival to Gov.
Seward for the Republican nomination at
Chicago. His late letter has broken the
back of the political opposition to him,
and goes in with the rest to be csnyassed
on personal grounds. Seward, Cameron
and the German Republican States of the
north west are the three strong elements
Of opposition to him /; aud if they COM
bine may defeat his nomination, even If
they or their favorites are unable to tri-

say the four doubtful States Of Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey, Indiana and Illinois
will be for him after the first ballot or
two that Cameron cannot control the
Pennsylvania delegation, which really
prefers Bates to him and that if It is set

a fire in the rear. Germany is now in

to Chicago is proving queer compound.

a miracle if they can be brought to act

Two weeks beheld Emily in that vast
city, without friend or home, without
money, and with no clothing, excepting
that she wore. She was, upon her arrf-
val, deserted by the man,with whom she
came, he having been directed by Mr..
Marble, not to trouble himself about her.
She wandered the whole day through
the streets, perfectly bewildered by the
new and strange scene. She carried in
her arms q fowsr-pot with a rose-the
only thing she possessed. After calling
at number of houses, and failing to OBJ
tain work, as night drew near, she, By
accident, stopped at the rooms occupied
by DR.. Boyd and Mrs. Gastone. The
latter had long wished for some one to
relieve her somewhat Of the care of mi,
and touched with her pretty but SORROW
full face and artless story, she bade her re-
main.
Here Emily's duties were so light, she
was SO kindly treated by Mrs. G., and 80
loved by mi, that she fancied
her existence perfect one.
Once when she was standing beside
DR.. Boyd, Mrs. Gastone uttered an ex-
clsmation of surprise at the resemblance,

an incredulous smile, apparently forget.

Since that reply Of DR.. Boyd, which
had caused her to weep, theirs had come
to her many moments Of bitlr reflection.

serted my husband, and would not will

Her lover had ever held out to her the
probability of finally going to Itlay-the
land of her lifelong dreams-but had
wished to remain in the city during the
Summer. That had passed. Itwas now
late in the Autum, and the days were
short and gloomy. She reminded him Of
this promise, still unful6llsd, but he now
put her of decidedly, though with tOlers7

reply, ''to live there in the style in which
you would choose and though / have
wealth, it is not always at my command;
be patient, and we will yet accomplish
your wish, but not at present"
That one hope. so strong with her, had
gone far towards inducing her to desert
her husband; and now to be obliged to
relinquish it, was cruel /; she had not an
ticipated this. These evils had come up
on Mrs. Gastone so gradually, that she
felt not their full influence indeed, she
could hardly be said to be unhappy she
was only sad at times-restless and I'M
occupied frequently. When, therefore,
DR.. Boyd informed her of his meeting
with her husband, she was for the first
time positively wretched; she shuddered
at the thought of his ascertaining her res
idence, and forcing her to return with
him.
At this moment, the door gently open

hower-pot, entered the room. and begged
