future life should be regarded
Whether I go hence or remain here it
will be proper that some settlement
should be made for you" The Ma
dame Strubach paused, and Linda be-
gan to think that her aunt had on her
mind some scheme about the house
When her aunt had spoken of going
-hence-or remaining here, Linda had
not been quite sure whether the 60
rings and remainings spoken of were
wholly spiritual, or whether there
was any reference to the things
worldly or temporal. Could it be
that Tetchen was, after alls right an
her surmise? Was it possible that
her aunt was about to be married to
Peter Steinmarc2 But she said
nothing; and after while her aunt
went on very slowly with her propo-
sition Yes Linda, some settle
ment for future life should be made.
You know that the. house in which
we live IS your. own. efe
I" It is yours and mine together,
" No, Linda; the house is your
own. And the furniture in it is yours
too; so that Herr Steinmarc is your

understand all this; but think too
well of my own child to believe that
she viii ever on that account be DISC

NEGRO BARBARIsM IN HAYr1. A
special telegram to the Herald, which
we printed yesterday, confirms the
report of the murder of Gen. Leon
Monies, in the dungeon at Cape
Haytien. The original report was
bal enough; but, bad as it was, it
lett us IN comparative Ignorance of
the actual facts of the case. The
details, rs we now have them, are
horrible in the extreme. Kept with
out food for four days, dosed with
poison, smothered to the extent to
which available strength could smo-
ther him, he is only deprived of life
at last by repeated stabs in the skull
with chisel. This, however, was
not all. The brother of the murdered
man, who had in the meantime been
captured, was chained down to the
bloody bed OH which this deed of
wickedness had been perpctratcd.
The only relieving feature in this
barbarlc picture is the announced
fact that the parents of the brothers
Montes have been driven to despera-
ton. 1t is to be borne in mind that
this barbarity has been accomplished
by official command. What is the
lesson? DO we require to state it?
Were 1t not for the special benefit OF
our New England philanthropists, we
should be ashamed to do SO. This is
o specimen of negro civilization; this
Is what the negro can do when left to
govern himself; this is an illustration
beforehand of what is to be expected
from negro supremacy in the South.
A word to the wise is not lost. Even
the unwise sometimes learn. God
save the South from such masters

A = correspondent OF the irui-
Iassfy Standard says that Gen.
Grant was opposed to- the impeach-
iment project-saying that ''the 'coun-
try needed repose and that all sex5
treme measures should be as once
abandoned by Congress:i' What
ever the Standard may think of it,
we believe the great body of the
people will agree with, Gen. Grant in
this sentiment The country does
need repose. 1t needs itfmore than
anything else just now-unless it be
the wisdom and good sense which re-.
pose will bring, if anything can.
Until the country gets repose, it is
not likely to get anything else it
needs. All the great interests of the
nation-material, moral and politi-
cal--are suffering for lack of it.
And Gen. Grant can give it to us if
anybody can.-New York Times.

Christmas.

Whatever may be the lowering as
Fect of the armament, earthly o,
heavenly, Christmas day brings with
It n burst of sunshine for those who
@sve yet to tread the rough and
thorny paths of life. Christmas day
1s peculiarly the children's holiday,
ind he who has no sympathy with
7saaaair innocent enjoyment must be de-
void of all kindly emotions, or those
dealings which refine and elevate
.tzuman nature. Life is too short and
&as days of childhood too feeting to
szartail the enjoyment of the little
''tznes. Smiling faces, kind words,
suitable juvenile gifts, will make
hiame happy, and that happiness will
'sae transfused throughout the whole
'Samily- circle Let parents and elder
members of their families do all in
1sheir power to promote this family
rsanshine. .,,e >~.-
tDf course, at many a hearth-stone
'Dne or moro places will be vacant I'M
5she family circle; but while we may
regret the death or temporary alb
saence of the missing occupants of the
vacant chairs around the Christmas
dinner-table, We should not throw a
Aioem over the happiness of those
sin left us, by vain ,repinings or
,fruitless grief; the present is oil that
Te can call our own; it is our duty.
therefore, to contribute as much as
-aiss in onr power to the happiness of
Sfhers. And in this connection we
may repeat from Scripture, the poor
we>have always with us, and if eve
Shere was season when benevolence,
lowing, full and free, should be exer-
~cised, it is on this festal day. Thou
hands have no Christmas dinner to-
day, and many thousands have not
clothing sufficient for the inclemency
nf the season. Every Christian
should be up and doing what ha is
able, to cheer andscomfort the suffer
ing poor; and every one who has the
'means.' be he protesting Christian or
mot, should remember the poor to-
q day-if he does, it will go we'll with
5l,irn.
We extend to all our friends and
.ueaders the cordial wish that they
'irnay have merry Christmas.
