Lee struggled with himself a while
longer. His ill.nature had TO be conquer
ed firsi (; his moody, accusing spirit had
TO be subdued. He thought Of many
things 10 say, yet he feared TO say them
lest his wife shonld meet his address with
cold rebuff. At last, leaning towards
her and taking hold of the shirt bosom
upon which she was at work, he ssid in
voice carefully modulated with kindness
You are doing the work beautifully.
Mary
Mrs. Lee made no reply but her hus-
band did not fail to notice that she lost al
most instantly that riged erectness with
which she had been sitting, nor that the
motion Of her needle had ceased.

than those OF any other man in the shop

Mrs. Lees voice was low and had in it
a slight huskiness. She did not turn her
face, but her husband saw she leaned
little toward him. He had broken the
ice Of reserve and sll was easy now. His
hands was among the clouds and fPeile
ray was already struggling through the
rift it hao.made.
Yes, Mary, he answered softly and
I've heard it more than once. what good
wife Andrew Lee must have.
Mrs. Lee turned her face towards her
husband. There was lgh! in it, and light
in her eye. Bul there was something in
the expression Of the counenance that
liltle puzzled him.
DO you think so 2 she asked, quite
soberly.

Lee, starting up and going round to the
side Of the table where his wife was Sit
ting. What question, Mary ! he re-
pealed, as he stood before her.
DO YOU 2 Itwas all she said.
Yes, darling was his warmly spoken
answer. and he stopped down aud kissed
her. How strange that you should ask
me such question.

Mrs. Lee arose, and leaning her face a
gains, the manly breast Of her husband,
stood and wept.
What strong light broke in upon The
mind of Andrew Lee. He had never
given his wife even the small reward OF
praise for The loving interest size had
manifested daily, until doub! of his love
had entered her soul, and made the light
all around her thick darkness. No won
der ,ha, her face grew clouded, nor what
he considered moodiness and i'll nature,
took possession OF her heart.
You are good and true, Mary, my own
dear wife am proud Of you-l love
you, and my frat desire is for your hap

face in sunshine, my home would be the
dearest place on earth
How precious to me are your words
Of love and praise, Andrew said Mrs.
Lee, smiling up through he' tears into his
face. With them in my ears, my heart
can never lie in shadow
How easy had been the work for An

nHrDuring the late campaign, the
Radicals throughout the State intimated
that il Etheridge was elected they should
petition Congress for martial law. Now
that Brownlow has been reelected we
ask of Congress or the Executive martial
law or anything else they may impose
upon us. The condition of Tennessee is
in no particular that dictated by the
terms of the Military bill. We have never
been reconstructed under the condi-
tons prescribed by Congress. We do
not believe Congress ever intended
the prescription and Acknowledgement
of the masses of cur white population.
The condition of Tennessee in this par
ticular, is an exceptional one to many
other Confederate States. Give US, then,
we repeat, martial law, with black voters
and white voters, or else no voters
at all. Our condition can be
rendered no worse than 1t is,
ANY change would be for the better, and
therefore acceptable We would far
sooner trust our destinies to the tender
mercies of Jacobiu Congress than haz-
ard the few liberties remaining to us in
the hands of the demegogues who rode
into office on the negro votes of
Thursday last. Give us martial law, in
clude us in the Fifth Military District,
with Phil. Sheridan dietator-give us
anything but Brownlowism.

reA. A Washington dispatch says
Chief Justice Carter, sitting in equity,
has given decree on motion to dissolve
the injunction restraining the defendant
from Withdrawing certain funds standing
to his credit in the United States Treas
ury. The complainant had advanced
defendant $4,000 for the purpose Of
prosecuting certain claims, and in con-
sideration respondent assigned to him
$4,000 out Of the claim when recorded.
The Court held that while the $4,000
advanced was advanced at such risk as
to justify much profit on the advance
than legal interest, it did not Justify as
large profit as claimed, and accord
ingly gave a decree in favor of com
plainant of $500, with legal interest on
the $4,000 from date advanced.
