recurred to Frank Tracy's mind. He
wished he could SEQ her
The gas had been lighted however,
and the little girls we're safely tucked
UP in bed, after having said their pray
ers on 'papa's knees, before the new
governess was announced.
Miss Walton, pray be seated
He saw at the first glance that the
pretty baby had grown into an exquisite
ly lovely girl of twenty-five, with soft
tender eyes like a Madonna, and sad
quivcring lips. Poor Agnes--she had
been so much accustomed to robuffs and
cold neglect at the hands Of the world q,
that Mr.. Tracy's chivalric po1itoncss
affected her nearly TO tears. lie MOTTO
ed it, he observed the timid glances
from beneath her !ashcs. Frank Ira, ~
was great physiognomist, and drew
his own differences from those things
After few gentle questions he asked
But Miss Walton, why did you
leave the Academy ?
The principal was harsh and uukiud
to me, and the place Vas noisy Q, sir
if you knew how have hungercd and
thirsted for quiet home
My dear Miss Walton, he sold smil.
ing l commissioned my friend Leigh to
find governess for me, but I am much
more in need of wife. l think you
would suit me in that capacity. Will
you accept of the home as a permanent
engagement, and me as the encumbrance
thereof ?
Agnes looked a moment into his kind
eyes, and placed her little hand confd~
ingly in his hand, aud said I will
And thus concluded their extremely
briet courtship Yet when Frank told
her how many years he had secretly
worshippcd at the shrine OF Mrs Wal
tons pretty baby she didn't think it so
very strange after all
Thus it was that Frank Tracy mar.
ried his beautiful second wife, and the
little ones, instead of governess got
mama, whom little Minnie confidently
informed her sister, she liked great
deal better than the old mama who was
always afraid of having her hair or coll
lor disarranged. While new mama
liked to have her daughter hug and
kiss her.
And Howard Leigh was satisfied that
his friend had married tue right person
at last.

Original Poetry.
The Failing 0TEAe Eeares.
DY u. E. BARRY,

BY N. E. BARRY,
The Autum winds are sweeping
AdoTn the midland vale,
While Boreas is reaping
The products of the gale
And FER the grainfelds flushing
With rich and golden shcavcs,
The whirling blast is brushing
The sere and yell ow leaves.
Sad thoughts fllup the measure
Of our earthly .sighs and tears,
While we look beyond lifc'a treasure
To home devoid Of fears;
For the breath of Fall dispcllng
All the charms that Nature wcnvcs,
In varied tones is knclling,
AT the falling Of the leaves.
Whilst Nature seems to languish
At the closing Of the year,
And speaks in words ofanguish,
BY her vcsture bronzod and scre,
She silently is pleading
To those beneath the rod,
And silent, too, is leading
Their trembling steps to God.
'Tis meet TO heed The warning
ThabFall brings in her train,
And wait the sunlight dawning
On our wearicd hearts again,
When the soul to bliss aspiring,
For more lasting glory grievcs,
And new honors seem desiring,
Like The falling OF the leaves.

On her chain Of life is rust.
On her spirits wing is dust
She hath let The spoilcr in
She bath mated with her sin
She hath opened wide the door
Crime has passed the threshold DER,
Wherefore has she gone cstray
Stood Temptation in her way
With its eyes SO glittcring bright
Clothed in angle robes Of light.
Oh her story soon is told,
Once lamb within the fc!d,
Stranger voices lurc1 her thence,
Inhcr trusting Innocence.
Woe she has not strength to keep
With the Shepherd ofthc sheep;
For the fleece so spotlcss white
Then become the hue Of night,
And she stood, in her despair,
Bleating for the Shepherds care.
Woe that none might lead her back
From the bloodhound on her track,
Hunger prowled about her path
With wild hycna wrath,
Scorn came leaping from its lair
With defiant grovl and stare;
And she grapplcd, all in vain,
With the fangs of want and paid,
Hope and mercy shut the gate
On this heart so dcsolatc.
She turned again to sin
What had she to loose or win?
Resting on her life n stain
Deeper than the brand Of Cain,
Heard she not plying tone,
Weeping in her shame alone ?
Was there not a human heart
In her anguish bore part ?
None to hold beacon light
Up before her darken'd sight.
No the altar was not there,
Tor n canting pricsthood's prayer;
" She hath fallen ? Let her die -
Said the Lcvito passing by;
Soshc turned again to sin,
What had she to loose or win ?
Sisters there is work to do
Field Of labor here for you,
Ye who pour the wine and oil,
Up, and rest not from your toll.
Til the bruised and wounded heart,
Aching from the Tcmptor's dart,
Sore and weary with its pain,
Shall bc bound and healed again
Til, no more defled by sin,
Like the pardoncd Magdalen,
Knccling in repentance sweet,
She may wash the S&vior's feet
With her tears that while they roll,
Blot sin stain from her soul
DO yc ask for your reward ?
d" Tncv are blest who serve the Lord"

After the sermon, he waited very pa
tiently, expecting some of the brethren
to invite him to dinner. In this he was
disappointed. One after another dopar-

THE REASON WHY,


The Stanton schoolheuse for eolored chill
dren, in Annapolis, Md, was yesterday fired
by some villain who hoped to deprive the
colored people of the means Of edu eating their
children; and on last Monday evening a mum.
Der of men and boys attacked the house in
Georgetown, Della aware, where the teacher OF
colored school was boarding, with bricks
and clubs. threatening to burn it. She left
town next morning, fearing to continue her
school, as a number Of prominent citizens, to
whom che applied for protection, refu sed to
have anything to do with her for tear Of the
mob. These are only two of many such oc-
currences reported in the Border States, while
weseldom hear of such outrages further South.
Why Is this! The only inference which can
be fairly drawn is that in the excluded
States the military pre- vent similar outbreaks.
Thus It Is that over er-zealous champions of the
South are continually bringing discredit ON
their cause, and this Will continue to be tha
case until the great mass Of the people in the
Southern and Border States show not only
that they discountenance, but are able to re-.
press all lawlessness and violence directed
against any class Of the comm unity. 1t Is
Claimed that such outrages As these we hay
mentioned are condemned by respectable per.
sons OF all parties. We do not doubt it, but
something more is required Of these "respecta-
BILE persons" than a mere expression Of senti-
ment. Unless they have courage to protect
the weak against the strong, regardless OF the
consequences to themselves, personally
through mob violence, they cannot complain
if the Federal Government interposes the
military power for the protection Of such of
its citizens as are deprived of their rights OF
person and properly by the followers of
Judge Lynch. Mob law must, and will be
put down.
