affections under which I suffer, think il
would be some excuse for my course" z
"Have you thought of the consequent
ces?' said John, my situation--l am poor
you are rich-1 am stranger-and-" -
Indeed have; am almost crazy. Let
me explain; you and every one else know
tho unfortunate situation Of my father.
His habits are fixed beyond amendment,
and his property wasting like dew before the
sun. A set Of harpies are drinking his
very hearts blood, and ruin and misery arc
staring us in the face. We ore almost
strangers it is true, but I have deserved you
closely. You. habits, your industry, and
the care and prudence with which you have
managed your. employers business, have
always interested me. "2..'. q .a.. ... a.
"And yet, my dear young lady, what can
you know of me to warrant you in taking
such STEP
1T is enough for me that am satisfied
with your character and habits-your person
and manners. I am woman and have eyes.
We are about the same age so.if you know
me and like me we'll enough to take me, there
is my hand" ws5 .a ..a /,
"And, my dear Mary, there is mine, with
all my heart in it. Now, when do you de-
sire it to be settled ?" ..a. 4, s
snow, this minute, give me your arm;
We will 60 TO Squire Benton's and have the
bargain finished: at once l don't want to
enter our house of distress again until l
have one in whom can rely, taaentrol and
direct the affairs Of my disconsolate home,
and to support me in my determination to
turn over new leaf in my domestic affairs?'
"But not in this old hat and;shirt sleeves,
Mary?" .ss .-., ,. T.
"Yes; and in my old sun-bonnet and
dirty apron. If you are content, let it be
done at once. l hope you will not think
that / am hard pushed as that comes to;
but / want a master. am willing to be
mistress. l will then take you home and
introduce you as my dear husband-signed,
sealed and delivered"
So be it; permit me to say that have
always admired you from the first minute l
saw you, for your beauty and energy, and
industrious, amiable department"
Z" "Now, John, if that is sincere, this is
the happiest moment Of my life, and trust
our union will bo long and happy. Lam
the only one my father hears to; but alas,
his resolutions are like ropes Of sand, l can
manage him on all subjects; you must take
charge Of his business, and have sole con-
troll; there will be no difficulty; am GER
tain of the result" ,., ....... l.
They were married, and a mora. happy
match never was iconsummated. Every
thing prospered, houses and barns were re-
paired, fences and gates were regulated, and
the extensive fields smiled and. flourished
like an Eden. The unfortunate father in
few years, sank into drunkard's grave.
Mary and John raised large family, and
they still live.respecteds..and wealthy-all
from an energetic girls resolution, fore
thought and courage.

THERE'S REST BY-AND.BY

Let us labor therefore to enter that resi-

When faint and weary toiling,
The sweat drops on my brow,
l long to cease from labor,
TO drop the burden now,
There comes gentle chiding,.
TO quell each murmuring sigh;
"Work while the day is shining,
There's resting by-and-by."
'Tis not to hear thy groaning,
Thy task is heavy made,
Nor adding to thy sorrow,
That succor is delayed
When bending meath the burden,
You toll, and sweat, and cry, N
" Bc patient" is the answer, p
There's resting by-and:by."
The way is rough and thorny,
The way is dark and drear,
My step is growing weary, '
The night is drawing near; q
Behold this yerdant wayside,
How cool the shadows lie
"Nay, pause not in thy journey,

All! When the crown is waiting,
And room enough in heaven,
Why wage another warfare,
Where dreadful wounds arc given?
Oh | give me now the trophy
Why not, my Saviour, why?

There's resting by-and-by." O.

The Debt Incrcasing.

Taxpayers, attention! How long arc
you to be ridden by the infamous conclavs
Of destructionists in Washington, backed
up by tho stupid fanaticism Of the Mongrcl
party? Thu post sixty days have increased
the public debt s4o,oO0,0OO. It's morally
certain that every month from now on will
make tho great load still heavier. At the
present rate Of increase VIC shall add this
year t250, 900, 900 to the $1,000, 600, ,0oo now
breaking the nations back. Every depart
ment Of the government, the War, Navy
and civil service, vic with each other in ex-
travigance, and the poor Taxpayers are to
foot the bills These threc arms, Of the
government demand $500, 600, 600 per year.
In 1861 the sa.ne:servico only cost 10000.
600. We want no huge standing army
10000 men are enough. We want no navy
Of over 100 men Of war, big and little thir.
ty ships are sufficient. We want no troops
in the free States. We want less than half
the tax gathcrers. 8 Economy will turn So
900 officials from non. on.productivc' 'tpositions
into wealth.producers, who, at 81 so a day,
would earn s22, 100000 year, and taking
the cost Of the salaries they now get into
consideration, will make for tho country .
yearly gain Of $l5O,OOO, 900. The increase
Of the debt, and the continued extravaganza
Of the government, are riviting shackles Of
iron upon the limbs Of the3 taxpayers.
Wako up, workingmen! You have from
nowto November next to decide upon the
question Of white slavery or white Freedom.

In 4 ANUT-SHELL.-Some of the Mongrel
presses are very much disturbed about tho
want ofsense ia the New Hampshire Demo.
cratic Central Committee, who, as they think,
erred gricvously in engaging H. Clay Dean,
Voorhees,, and other "western Copperheads'
in the late canvass. If the loafers and seal
awags that sometimes stand on the Verge
Of campmectings were to criticise the
preachers, and express their regret that
such ''damcd religious fellows were en-
gagged in the revival, it would be an exactly
parallel case to the condemnation Of Mr..
Dean and Co. by the sanctifed Mongrels.
But, in truth, this compliment of the Mon
grels to Mr.. Dean is scarcely mcrited, and
we doubt if he really did them as much
harm as they say, or rather imply, by their
condemnation. On the contrary, We agree
exactly with an article from the Richmond
Inquirer, which we republish elsewhere.
The canvass opened in grand style for tho
Democracy on the real issue-White supre.
macy rs. Niger equality but the impeach-
ment Of the President changed it, and while
it united the Mongrels to man, it forced
til Democracy into quasi defense of the
President, and, to a certain extent, demura-
lizcd them.-Nao York Day Book.

Fayette County.

The prospects in Fayette county seem
to be Frightening. The Somerville Fat
con, of Thursday, says:
We venture to say to our friends
abroad that the most harmonious feeling
now exists between the dominant race
and the white people Of this county that
the mass of the former have determined
10 act with us; that leading gentlemen Of
the county. who, upon the reorganization
Of the State government, identified them
selves with the party in power, have
openly declared that, without speedy
change of rulers, the country will,
beyond a doubt, go up" and avow
their purpose to vote and work for
the great ticket of the New York Conves-
ton. We expect to carry this county by
a majority that will astonish the natives,
and If all the counties do as well, we will
carry the State, and crush out the revolu-
tionists, "horse, foot and Dragons "
Events may occur which may blight this
fair prospect, The carpet-baggers have
not yet come 10. The old forty acre
and mule" story has not yet been re.
vived; but, as matters now stand, all is
right, and we believe, from the zeal and
metal displayed by the people of both
races, that, 80 far as Fayette county is
concerned, I'VE are out Of the woods"

The Alabama Legislature adjourned
without passing the registration law re-
ouired BY the new constitution. And
there IL no doubt the omission was pur-
posely made and intended TO prevent an
election which it was feared would go
Democratic. The Governor has called
the Legislature to remedy this defect,
which, notwithstanding, may be done or
omitted. So in Louisiana, the city pa
pers disclose similar malpractice and
postponement. The object is to shut out
as many Democratic votes as possible In
any event, aud, il necessary, TO prevent
the election altogether.
So in Tennessee this game works with
admirable effect With eighty thousand
Democrats already disfranchised, it is
quite effective to postpone the registra-
ton to the last moment, aud con6ne it

be deferred from making application
in consequence Of loss Of time, trouble
