becoming impatient, for the beauti-
| full bride still tarried. AT length, her
mother entered her room, and called:
''Iphigenia, it grows late. my
child"
But there WAS no answer. Seated
before the mirror, i'll her bridal attire,
was my aunt. My grandmother ap-
preached her; she moved not, bnt
sat, staring right Before her with
CLASSY eyes; II look of inexpressible
woe sat ON the pale, rigid features.
and the lips were unclosed, as if about
to speak. My grand mother touched
her; she WAS ;,s cold as stone; she
shrie]lel aloud and fell senscless ut
her daughters feet. That piercing
sound, so full Of agony and despair,
reached the startled guests. a feeling
of underlined horror took possession
of tllcm, and they rushed impetuously
up the broad stairway, and into the
chamber of death. They stood dumb
ut the sight that met them; the beauti-
full bride, in her gorgeous satin attire,
cold in the embraces OF Il sudden death.
None knew, none ever did know,
what had thus stricken her down;
but have always thought that God
took her to Heaven, to save her the
misery of this detestabic marriage.
Lord Eillers stood looking at hcr
with eyes of stupid wonder and grief;
but Hugh, poor Hugh, they say his
despair was fearful to witness. He
threw himself upon his knees, beside
her; he kissed pas>ionately the un-
conscious lips, and pressed t. his
heart the unrcsistiny little hand He
called her by every cndearing Iame,
and sobbed aloud with the widest
grief. l do not know, Miss Surrey,
whether hearts really can break. or
whether II broken heart is only IL
figure. / only know this, that Hugh
entreatcd to be allowed to paint the
likeness of his dead love. For the
three days that her lifclcss body re-
manned /" the house, he painted un-
ceasingly. He never left off, save to
stop occasionally, cover his face with
his hands, and sob aloud, then im-
print long, passionate kiss upon the
cold dead lips, and return to his work
again as quietly as ii the wild billows
OF grief had not just surScd over
him. L know, too, that, after she
was laid in the old family vault, he
worked continuously ut the portrait;
he grew paler, thinner, sadder, and
the light of his large, melancholy
eyes cleaned forth with a brighter,
more spiritual lustre. One day, they
sought him i'll the picture gallery; he
had failed to make his appearance at
dinner, and there he lay, dead, before
his easel. The picture was finished,
and so was the life Of the loving
young painter. Did he die of Il
broken heart? The sneering world
laughs and says, moi" Well, know
not; [ tell you the sad tale as twas
"a tale just one that memory keeps,
Forgotten music; till some chance note
Nibratc the chord whereon it slept

4 MoMAN'S PICTURE.
From Lphigenid, an Unpublished 4Stor

From Iphigenia, an Unpublished Story.
BY MISS E. B. cHEEsBoRoUaH.
It was never-ceasing source of
pleasure to me to wander into the
picture gallery. Those antique ladies
and gentlemen seemed to carry me
into the far past, and have sat for
hours picturing to myself scenes in
which I know they must have figured
But one picture-a woman's pic
ture, or rather, I should say, girls
particularly riveted my attention.
The simple name "Iphigenia" WAS
written under the massive gilt frame.
This picture represented girl of
seventeen; the hair foated in long
golden curls around the neck; the
eyes were lustrous blne-a term
which can seldom be applied to eyes
of that color-and n sweet, tender
smile sat on the rich, full lips. The
picture was startling in its beauty;
you looked and looked again, and if.
for moment, your eyes wandered
away, some irresistible power drew
them there again. The dress WAS
evidently bridal one; the rich satin
folds fell in undulating beauty about
the figure; feecy veil was flung
over the back of the head, and II
white coronal of roses sat upon the
brow The fair neck and arms were
adorned with rich, glowing pearls.
One afternoon, just before the sun
had sank to rest, while it still threw
long lines of light into the picture
gallery, I sat absorbed in the con-
temptation of this beautiful portrait.
The door opened and Iphigenia en-
tered, scarcely less beautiful than her
lovely names sake. She threw herself
on the couch beside me.
Chow you worship these musty old
pictures, Miss Surrey. One would
think you had painted them.
cit is the picture of your name
sake, Iphigenia, which attracts me
here. How n man, whose worship is
beauty, would have loved such face.
Yet, ife-ike as this picture appears
at the first glance, there is something
about it which seems to speak of
death-death in life. What is it.
Iphigenia? Read me the story Of
this weird-like face"
''You hook upon the face of the
dead, Miss Surrey-dead even when
the painter threw his whole soul
upon the canvass. But she was not
dead to the artist; how he loved her;
and in that beautiful face, whose
loveliness death had not yet dis
figured, I can well imagine that he
saw only his living love before him.
When he finished that picture, he
laid aside his brush forever; his heart
was broken. He had nerved himself
to the self-imposed task of painting
it; then, when his work was ended,
the deep-toned chords Of his loving
heart suddenly snapped, and he was
found dead in front of the sweet face
which was his inspiration and his
worship.
'1phigenia Montfort (ah! how we'll
they named her who made sacrifice
indeed Of herr was my fathers only
sister. She was beautiful and as
gentle as child. She died long be-

Cradle Song.
BY RoDEN NOEL.

BY BODEN NOEL.
Sleep, my childie, sleep;
In the hush of evening deep!
Gone the last long lingering bean,
From where the tender speedwrlls dream
With closed eyes by the woodland stream
Sleep, my clildic, sleep;
Fresh deMs of twilight creep
Through folded blooms OF eglantinc,
Stellaria, hareball and woodbine;
All open the large white buglcs shine.
Sleep, my childie, sleep;
Now dewy planets creep
Through skies of falling purple rose:
Yon elm sleek-foliaged overtiows
With those lovc-songs the black-bird knows.
Sleep, my childic, sleep;
The drowsy brides keep
More silence-rare the cuckoo's note,
The doves low plaint hath ceased to float,
Sweet breezes flutter in and out.
Sleep, my childie, sleep;
The skimming moth may sip
Our bowers honey bloom,
That lavish breathes n rare perfume;
I hear the velvet hornet bloom.
Sleep, my childie, sleep;
The shepherd counts his sheep:
I hear the cattle browse and chew,
Atield the click of ball that flew
Bat-driven and the boys halloo.
sleep, my cmldle, sleep,
Where meadow grass is deep,
Nor yet lies heaped the fragrant hay.
The crake is calling, or away
Where the corn mcllows every day.
Sleep, my childie, sleep;
Yon primrose skies must keep
Some chime Of faint and fairy bells,
Whose ebb and flow of tidal swclls,
Or close or open aerial cells.
Sleo,, INV ch;ll;o oloon.
The sum.1cr breath can steep
All sights and sounds in liallowed rest;
Beneath, far setting toward the West,
Rich seas of pasture swoon to mist.
Sleep, my childie, sleep;
Rare does the swallow sweep,
Now ilied pools for dragon flies,
Nor orange mouths that cape supplies
While the dam greets with twittcring cries .
Sleep, my childie, sleep;
Still soft the martens cheep
Below the caves from rustic nest
With mass and bents and feathers prest,
Lined warm for many q downy breast.
Sleep, my childie, sleep;
Four callow tledglings peep
No more, but nestle to the wing
Whose darkness ne'cr to them can bring,
Doubt Of the parents sheltering.
Sleep, my childie, sleep;
Our earth-born clouds must weep
Their rain upon thy stainless brow;
only pray my child may y2now
Her Fathers wings those shadows throw;
Then ever rest and sleep.

The 'plasform" adopted by the radical disun-
ion party in this state, on Wednesday, consists
of a number of planks, all cut out of the same
stick of timber. It enunciates not a solitary
political principle of any kind. and contains but
single idea, viz; s'We, the radical disunion
party of the north, ought to rule the whole coun-
try" This idea is varied as follows:
l. That the radical disunion party of lnorth-
portion of the nation is entitled to make
new constitutions for the southern states.
2. That the radical disunion party Endorses
tine radical disunion party of congress.
3. That the president ought to submit Ito the
radical half of congress
4. That the radical half of congress is sn.
preme, whether the president submits to it or
not
3. That the radical disunion party ought to
have permanent control OF the government
This, it is further resolved, ought to be ga max
I'M in political science.'D
6. That we are in favor of the test oath, in sc
lar it will help us to realize that maxim in pc
AtcaI science. 1&
z. That our sympathies are large and wide
spread, and embrace all who vote the radical dis
union ticket.
s. That we thank the soldiers and sailors, tt
the extent that they belong to our party
9. The we indorse S. w. Moulton, and ten
der him our regrets that the necessity of paying
John A. Logan for ''dirty work" since he left
the rebels and joined our party, prevented us
from nominating him. ss
The party which adopted this platform hai
sometimes been called the party of one idea
What the consequence would be if they shoult
happen to get more than one idea into thei
heads at the same time, they do not give us al
opportunity to learn-Chieago Times.

MISREPRESENTATION DAVENPORT.

EDITOR ARGUS, Rock ISLAND, Sir.--There was
rather nice police item 10 this city, on Monday
night, which our newspapers are too tender-foot-
ed TO notice, and we request you to give little
publicity to the affair.
Thomas Garrett, at CARROTS boot and shoe
store, was arrested for cohabitng with Martha
Burke, very black negro weneh, and each were
fined $40, each and costs, which Tom paid,
amounting in all to s26,60. Martha came to the
back door of the shoe store, by appointment, and
Tom let her in. She was afterwards seen with
him, in the room, with nothing on but chemese.
We arrested both and took them to Jail, and
brought them up to the police court in the morn
ing, with the result above stated. People who
60 miscegenasDg had better keep their eyes open
there's somebody on the watch.
