And the cd woman took off her glasses
and wiped away the tears that from some

then, with a tremulous voice, related the
promised story.
"There never was more blithesome bri-

married the man of her choice one of whom
any woman might be proud. Few indeed,

THE FIRST MARRIAGE.

We have always thought Adam, in his
courtship, a sensible man. He fell asleep q
bachelor, and awoke and found himself
married man. He appeared to have popped
the question almost Immediately after meet
ing Md'slie Eve, and she, without any ffirta-
tion or shyncss, gave him a kiss and herself
OF this first event in this world we have,
however, our thoughts, and sometimes in a
p0etical mood We wish we were the man that
did it. But the deed is done. The chance
was Adams, and he improved it. We like
the notion Of getting married in garden. 1t
is good taste. We like private wedding
Adams was private. No envous beaux
were there; no cEoaking old maids no chat
tering aunts or grumbling grandmothers.-
The birds OF heaven were the MINISTRIES, ane

Tears gushed to the woman's eyes as she
answered.

And grasping the money she had toiled
for while her babe was dying, she hurried
to her dreary home. Shortly after they
followed her. the young wife who had never

died. and then kind hands took from the
mother the breathIess form, closed those
bright eyes, stra ghtened the tiny limbs, and
bathed the cold clay, folding about it the
pure, white shroud; yes, and more they
gave what the poor so seldom have, time to
weep.
"Oh aunt" said Mary, with tears in her
eyes, ''if my heart blesses you, how much

Playing into Each Others Hands.


Not year ago, Thurow Weed, the Re-
publican leader. uttered in the Albany Jour
nat, these startling and true words
4" The chief architects of the rebellion. be
fore it broke out, were aided in their Internal
designs by the Aboltion;sts Of the North.
This was too true, for without such aid the
South could never have been United against
the Union. But for the incenGiarv recon-
mendations which rendered the otherwise
useful Helper Book fire brand, North Caro-
lima could not have been forced out of the
Union. And even now the ultra abolition
press and speech makers are aggravating the
horrors they helped to create, EE3S thus play
ion and keeping down the Union men of the
Sonth, and rendering re union difficult if not
impossible.
If this was true in 1862, how doubly so is
it now The two extremes of agitators and
factionists are playing into each others
hands.
The Richmond Enqqirer and New York
Tribune, agreeing in common hatred of the
Democracy, play into each others hands now
as before the rebellion. The Enquirer pub
fishes insulting articles to nfame and unite
the North, and the Tribune utters doctrines
which consolidate the South.
Those two organs started years ago upon
this dishonest work. Each infamed to the
utmost the fanaticism Of its followers Each
taught them to hate the opposite section.
While the Southern States were hesitating on
the brink Of secession Greeley came out and
proclaimed to them that they had the same
right as the Colonies had in the revolution.
He assured them they might securely try
the experiment. Thus urged on, they took
the fatal plunge.
Now the question before the country is,
whether the slavehoding States will be al
lowed to return. Never, cry the radicals
except upon the basis of emancipation and
the stipulation Of &1gro rights. All State
constitutions must be abolished, as already
the Federal Constitution has been broken
down by the violence of fanatics
Such men are indeed &" the architects of
ruin.' But are we contentedly to sit by and
contemplate their work? Are the great ina
jority of the people-the masses who loved
the old Union, the conservatives who dread
revolution, to set supine!y by and see this
monstrous work of desolation 90 on? No,
Let the people rise and confront these fanat-
les, who have no strength but imposture, and
no courage but the insolence of ephemeral
power.-Alba@y Girgus.
