"Your sister is looking well to-
night
Cordelia started from her painful
reverie at the voice of a matronly
friend.
'.Margret, you mean ?'' was her
subdued rely. But for the coaver-
sation just heard, she would not
have thought Of this sister.
Yes, how much she has improved
I hear it remarked on all sides. You
must take care, or she will bear off
the palm"
The elder sister turned her faee
away so that it.could not be seen.
"She is SO good, so true-so full
of spontaneous grace, that comes
from order and symmetry within.
She must have a beautiful mind"
A year later, and Margaret was
the bride of man who had once
stood bewildered and fascinated in
the blaze of Cordelia's beauty-of
one who had said of her, as many
had said, "What pity she is so
plain p' And he was a lover of
beauty in all it's forms
From the Cleveland Herald, May Is.
The Great Dirt Eater.
Flinging down his paper with in
dignation yesterday, a soldier of
the late war, who had endured the
torments of the rebel prison held at
Andersonville, bitterly exclaimed ::
Il have fought, bled, and starved
in defence ofmy government, but if
this is what we fought for I would
not raise my right arm again in its
defence. Everywhere that we met
soldier who had served bravely in
defence of his country the cursing
was loud and deep over the unmer
tied lenity shown to the arch traitor,
and over the unexampled humilia
tion of prominent Northern Repub-
licans rushing, qnasked, to proffer
him their services and their congrat-
qlations. 70 set jeff. Davis at lib
erty, with but little prospect of his
ever coming to trial, was bad enough
but for Horare Greeley=who by his
alternate confidence and timidity
urged our troops into the face OF
danger and then sought to paralyse
their arms bp cowardly ''peace con-
ferences''-to be the first to aid in
procuring his liberty and then pub
licly congratqlating him, was adding
insult to injury.
On our streets to-day are seen
men CRIPPLED for life and dependent
on charity for subsistence, through
the rebellion whose chief has just
been set at liberty. Thousands
drag out the miserable remains OF
their existence, blighted by the at
rocious cruelties of the prison pens
of the South,-cruelt;es encouraged
if not commanded by jefferson Da
Wis. Tens Of thousands Of loya.
men rot in Southern soil, murdered
at Andersonville, at Belle Isle, il
Libby, and in the other Southern
prison slaughter houses, whose hor
rors Jefferson Davis could have nit
igated or wholly prevented. Fol
the wrecks of men who survived
those cruelties, for the families o1
those who died amid them, Horace
Greely may have lip sympathy, bu
to the unrepontent accessory, if no
cause. OF those cruelties he has sub
stantial aid and joyous congratula
tions to offer.
We do not believe we are using
too strong language when we sa,
the proceedings OF Monday in Rich
mond have created an intense feel
ing of indignation among the sol
diers Of the war, and also among tn
mass Of loyal men. We can testify
so far as our knowledge extends
and the matter has been the subjec
of general comment-that for hi
part In it Horace Greely has earnet
nothing but scorn and contempt
Had he any sense ofpolitical decen
cy the dirt he has voluntarily eatel
would be enough to choke him.
The heaviest blow to the loyal sen
timent of the nation was struck Of
Monday at Richmond, and the ham
that struck it was that of ''H. G."
