Union Saving.

Modern Union saving has come to
mean but another name for Democra,
cy. The telegraph reports "conserva-
tive resolutions and democratic prin-
ciplcs" as the results in the more re-
cent of them. That these meetings
are encouraged by the northern Dcmoc-
racy for the purpose of making capi-
tai against the Republicans is very
natural. 1t is their object to make
the South believe that they 1--we the
Union and all the rest of the northern
people arc disunionists. The senti-
mcnts announced at the Union meeting
in New York by Charles O'Conor show
that it is love for slavery rather than
love of the Union that animates some
at least Of the pretended Union savers.
These meetings are the most trans
parent humbug of the day The clear
headed southern men, and indeed the
most boistcrous and hot-blooded Of
them are not to be taken in by them
They denouncc the whole thing and
the actors therein. They see that the
performers are actuated by interest
and not patriotism. Some would
save the Union to save their southern
trade, others would preserve it to Sc
cure the ascendancy of their party
and the loaves and fishes of official
patronage. Neither Of them are an in
dcx of northern sentiment and neither
of them will affect public sentiment "a
feathers weight with the South.

The Senate committee for the inves,

very fairly constructed. 1t consists
of Mason of Va, Davis of Miss, Fitch

and two Republicans--three men from
the free States and two from the slave

est pair Of stairs she ever saw, until
they came to little room where bed
had been made upon the floor for her.
Her aunt kissed her good night, told
her not to be afraid, for Rob slept in
the next room, and then left her.
Trudie shuddered from head to foot
when the door closed behind her. The
wind blew SO through the loose win
! dow that her candle went out. She
sank down on the bed, and hiding her
face, moancd only, " l want you, moth
er! l want you, mother" till the
violence of her sorrow drowned her
voice. Then she lay there like one
dead were it we'll if she had been ?
Presently she arose and unrobed
herself and crept into the bed, she
had said her mother-taught prayers in
silence. But she could not sleep !;
turning her face towards the window
she saw the stars twinkling. The
sight Of them were better than such
gloom, and more than that, tender
hearted old grandma had told her she
must not cry for her mother, for she
had gone to the Heaven that was in
the stars.
1t was late that night when Trudie,
benumbcd with cold, went back to her
bed. 1t was much later still, but she
was wide awake and trembling, when
she heard an unsteady step upon the
stairs, which she thought must be
Robs. He entered the chamber ad-
joining hers, but his nearness did not
break her loneliness.
Now Trudie, child that she was,
was no dreamer or coward. She had
seen over twelve summers, but was
far older than her years, and she did
not go to sleep that night, in that
whirling black chaos, without some
very practical thoughts as to what
she should do. She loved her Aunt
Sarah ; she was an affectionate, ten
der.heartcd woman, but Trudic saw
that she was widely different from her
mother, and that difference, she con.
cluded, was what made everything So
dreadfully unpleasant. My home
has got to be here" thought Trudie,
:" for long time at least, and won
der if do just as mother would,-
and oh, how patient | will have to be
with Uncle Jake and Rob,-if can't
make things go better. have read
lots of stories in our Sunday School
Library, of little girls, younger than
me, that did a great deal of good, but
never thought | should have the
chance Of trying to be like them"
And then the little head planned and
planned she wept and smiled, was
full of hope, then ready to give way
at some remembered obstacle, until
slumber kissed her eyelids when she
knew it not, and in her dreams the old
grey house was full of love and peace
Uncle Jake good natured, Rob broth
er to her, and Aunt Sarah the neatest
little body in the world.
Are dreamings always in vain ?
What will come of this ?

CHAPTER II.

When Trudie Granger's widowed

thought it sad pity to make one SO

CHAPTER III.

next day 1t was so late when she
fell asleep the night before that she
did not waken early in the morning
as was her wont, and she knew it
must be nearly eight o'clock when she
stole timidly down stairs, reproaching
herself for not being up in time to
help get the breakfast. But she found
no one in the house stirring, except
herself; she did not expect to be the
first one up at that hour. May be
Aunt is sick" she thought. "If |
knew where she slept | would go and
see"
She sat down as if wondering what
to do; then her face grew very bright,
and jumping up suddenly with the
impulse her thought gave her, she
went to work to make the fire, and oh,
how very still she was about it. And
when it was cracking, and swapping,
and promising the best it could, she
took the broom-if she had had time
and could have found a scrubbing
brush, she would have chosen that
| aud around that room she went like
the busy little fairy she was, setting
things in an order they had never
known before. Then she washed the
dishes her Aunt had left the night be-
fore, and drawing out the table as
gently as she could, set it even pretti-
y with the old crockery for the morn
ing's meal. Then she took the plate
of hard dry bread, and meditated over
it moment and came to the coGclu-
sion that they would all like it better
toasted, and she was toasting it be-
fore the fire, when in came Uncle Jake.
He did look surprised, he even
half smiled, 50 that Trudie ventured
on good morning, sir" which was
answered by " Umph :" and This
looks little like it. But bless me,
child, are you toasting that bread :?
I'd as lief eat leather
Trudie was really frightened. and
she trembled SO she could hardly an
swer.
q am toasting a little because |
thought it was too hard and sour for
you"
"So'it is, so it is-I'd as lief eat it
one way as the other" and, therenpon,
he sat down in the chimney corner,
muttering to himself something that
Trudie could not hear plain enough to
understand. She could not work so
fast as before, nor as well. She let
one piece of bread burn, and was very
thankful that it passed unobserved by
Uncle Jake.
Just then Rob came in oh, how
the child wished it had been her aunt
He was pale and haggard, and his
matted hair and untidy clothes di,
not improve his appearance. Trudi,
did not dare to even look up at him.
Well, little what's your name,
said he, taking piece of toast off the
plate with evident pleasure, you ar'
going to be good for something,
guess. If you do as well as this eve
ry morning, l shall have some hope Of
getting to my work in time. Where
Muz?'
"Who ?" asked Trudie.
/. "Why, Muz," said Rob, laughing
and helping himself to another piece
