seemed to her, rushing into the very
midst of danger to bear her part
with the rest, and share the perils, or
shield from them the one she loved
let her own braver deeds explain.
The poor, meek, tortured creature
could not bear his shame, but sor
rowfully and miserably retreated to
Grey's Court, and in a few DAYS wrote
to Smith Butler formal renuncia-
tlon of his pretensions to Miss Whis-
tons hand. When Walter Lechmere
made his demand, Smith Butler no
longer withheld his consent; acknow-
ledglnS, little unnecessarily, that
perhaps 1t was better, on the whole,
to have man in the establishment
who could fight, if required done
needed such things sometimes. But
his consent WAS given only on consi-
deration that Walter lives at Gully
stone quietly, and does not attempt
to take Caroline away, or to follow
his profession in Spain, or any OF
that nonsense. He was to stay there
as the fighting man and family pro-
tector-did he hear? And if he did
not like that arrangement, he should
make no other As Walter did like
the arrangement, the marriage took
place in the early spring; and, if the
Dunmow fitch was not claimed when
Justly due, it was not because it
ought not to have been But Smith
Butler did not live long under the
shadow of Walters protecting man
hood. The burglary and the per-
sonal violence to which he had been
subject were too much for him; and
he died before another Christmas day
came round-repeating, in the last
feeble wanderings of reason just pre-
ceding his death, with an accent cx-
prcssive of profoundest horror,

A FIero's Daughter.

Hero's Daughter.
She boasts no Amazonian charms,
Minerva's helmet never bound her;
And tho she finds delightin arms,
'Tis when her fathers are around her.
She does not aim to make mark,
Like Philippians Froissart wrought her;
She is no modern Joan DArc
Like Garibaldi's wife and daughter
And while there meets in her young veins
Ancestral blood-the patriot's-sage
Whose fame rung out in trumpet strains
Goes gathering glory down the ages.
She is not proud, nor cold, nor grand,
No haughtiness her tone evinces;
Her heart is open as her hand.
Her hand is liberal as a princes.
She does not awe you with her eye,
And yet its glance goes straightway
through you,
a latent fire to warn you by
steady, stellar light to WOO you.
Her smile is like the golden dav's.
Irradiating every feature:
You catch its influence, as You gaze,
And own-"Shc is o gracious creature" j"
So genial her responsive mind:
With every varying mood agreeing
You wonder how she comes to find
The very Keynote of your being.
Beneath her sparkling surface, flow
The breezy freshness, and the laughter
Wells deep and strong, and undertow
OF rare and racy wisdom, after.
Sweet fre-sidc graccs, all arc hers:
The chatelaine beside the bodice,
Is but one token, that AYERS
She is very household goddess!
Accepting, with unmurmuring ips.
Wars stern decree-its griefs, its losses;
And noblcr thro that blood eclipse,
And stronger for it's burdening crosses.
She folds no hands in languid pause
Child of her father-truc to duty,
She weeps at heart the dear s'lost cause
Yet fills the busy hours with beauty
Her heroism holds in view
Our peoples strife for lifc-the lesser,
Yet bitter one!-there's work to do,
And we'll she does it; so-God bless her
The Land We Loue.

The Power of Imasina tio-.

Billy Smith is a carriage-maker in the
shop of Pulford & Co., in our village.
Billy is genius, as the gorgeous red
and yellow stripes on Pulford's wagons
show; and while counterfeiting nature
one day, for his own amusement in the
rear of shop, his mind happened to run
on the subject of rotten eggs, and forth
with one of those interesting subjects
appeared on the board beneath his mag
ical brush. 1t was represented as bro
ken, and was so natural that an observer
might fancy that it caused disagreea-
BILE odor. The picture remained there
for some time, all who had occasion to
go that way not caring to disturb thing
so forbidding to the delicate senses of
the nasal protuberance. One day Squire
NJ saw it and applied his fingers
to his nose. Billy saw him and explain
ed to him that it was merely paint. At
first he would hardly believe, but finally
convinced, he offered Billy ten dollars
to paint similar one on his door step.
The Squire was something of wag,
and wished to see the effect produced on
the ladies and gentlemen who had been
invited to party at his house that
evening.
Billy received ten dollars, and prom
ised to have the painting ready in time.
Evening arrived, and so did the ladies
and gentlemen; and as each in succession
passed over Billy's painting, they ele-
waited their feet and skirts, and, applying
their perfumed handkerchiefs to their
noses, wondered if the squire was aware
of the presence of that frightful thing on
his door step.
The party progressed, and the rotten
egg was the subject of much remark.
Squire M heard and felt jolly over
the success of his little practical joke.
When everybody was chatting at the ta-
Bile after supper, and not few of them
about the "apparition'' at the door, the
Squire arose, and uttering preliminary
"hem!" said:
"Isuppose you all saw that on my door
step, didn't you?"
Everybody assented, some of the fe-
males uttering little screom, and all of
that sex famed themselves vigorously.
The squire resumed:
81 had that placed there to illustrate
the power of Imagination, and I'll show
you, if you'll adjourn to the door,"
All went.
"Now," said the squire, taking out his
snowy pocket handkerchief, "you will
see that this is not what you supposed i:
was, but merely a painting" And he
pressed the handkerchief on the ''illus-
trated'' spot, then raised it suddenly to
his nose. "By Jupiter!" he exclaimed,
"it's rotten egg, after all!''
Billy had taken the ten dollars, and
broken a bona tfde rotten egg on the door
step.

STOPPAGE OF THE RENSSELAER, IRON
WORKS AT TROY.

sToPPAGE OF THE RENSSELAER, IRON
WORKS AT TROY.
IFrom the Troy Wing. December2I
We learn from the Budget that the
Rensselaer, Iron Works (rolling mills)
stopped work on Saturday night for the
season. 1t has been the ecustom in years
past to stop for shcrt time for repairs
atthis time of the year. But now there
is probability that the mills will not
run until next Spring. The prevailing
dullness and absence of orders for work
is the occasion for shutting down. By
this stop some three hundred hands will
for the present be thrown out of employ
ment. We hope that business will speed
lily revive and that these mills will re-
sumo operations at an early day.
MEN OUT OF WORK IN CONNECTICUT.
From the New Haven Register.l
More men are out of employment to-
day in New Haven than at any previous
time in the last ten years. Our manu-
facturers are reducing, or have reduced,
their forces, and it is difficult matter
for mechanic or workingman to obtain
employment of any kind. In this city not
less than fifteen hundred laboring men are
unemployed; many of them depend upon
their wages to support their families. Re
Gently, one-half of the operatives en-
ployed in the car factory of George L.
Newhall were discharged on account of
dull times. On the other hand, the ne
groes of the South are supported by the
Freedmen's Bureau, and the poor white
men of the North are taxed for their sup
port. This is the natural result of the
Radical legislation. Negroes vote the
Radical ticket and are supported. Our
laboring men at the North vote as they
please, and are left to starve.
DEPRESSION. sTAGNATioN, PARALYSIS.
[From the Manchester IN. y Journal.l
All over New England the fruits of
Radical misrule are being made start
lingly apparent. Several of the largest
factories in Rhode Island are running
upon three-quarters time, and some have
stopped entirely.
In Maine the corporations of Bidde-
ford have cut down the wages.
The Cocheco Manufacturing Company
at Dover have reduced the pay of the
operatives ten per cent.
The wooden mill in Littleton has
struck off fifteen per cent. from wages
of laborers.
In Enfield the wooden mills are run
ming upon three-quarters time.
In our own city twelve and half
cents upon the dollar is the tax of some
of our corporations, and in many other
places similar reductions are daily oc-
curing, either in the schedule of price
or time of labor. All this after seven
years of Radical sway. and three years
of peace. What glorious and blessed
peace Congressional, military and mig
ger reconstruction is giving us! Thou
sands upon thousands of poor, hard
working operatives thrown out of en-
ployment at this season of the year,
with the thermometer at five degrees
below zero, wood nine dollars cord in
a wooden country, and all because of
the wooden-headed legislation of the
most wrong-headed body of men that
ever assembled in the National Capitol.
