ORANGE HOUSE MORNING FEBRUARY

confidently informed the spmpathising
Arabella Eugenie Angelina Stubbs,
''for all the world like the picture OF
Rupert Di Rinaldo, in ''I'he Brigand of
the Black Forest" stt3
Edward found little difficulty in per-
suading her to leave home, and unite
her fate with his. Accordingly the
next night, as soon as the house was
still, Jennie, e,,veloped in dark man
tie, and face concealed by thick, close
ly drawn veil, stole out through the
back way to the place where her lover
was waiting.
lie had acovered carriage, and though
the night was dark, she could see the
dim outline of a man upon the box.
They rode two hours. mostly in 81
lence; for that the irrevocable step was
taken, Jennie's courage began to fail
her, and she grew depressed in spirits
she hardly knew why. 1t seemed to
her that they would never reach their
destination, which Edward had inform
ed her was the house of clergymaniin
an adjoining town. But at last, to her
great relief, the carriage stopped.
"To avoid observation we are going
in through the back way whispered
Edward, as he assisted her to light
Draw your veil closely around your
face" rs nsHt ilao1 lall.Hl
The night was SO dark that she could
not see the least thing, and she clung
neryously to the hand that led her along
a short path, over plat of grass, up
some steps, into dark, narrow passage,
which led into hall, and from thence
into a room that opened out Of it, light
by one small low lamp. Beside the ta-
BILE on which it was placed, the clergy
man stood-a venerable looking man
and at the lower end of the apartment
seemed to be number of persons,
though the light was dim that only the
outlines of their forms were visible.
| Edward spoke a few whispered words
to the clergyman, and then the cere-
mony commenced. @
AS soon as .he last words were spok
en-, as if by preconcerted movement,
| the two burners at each end ofthe room
were lighted, filling it with a sudden
blaze of light, while merry peal of
laughter mode it ring again and again.
As soon as .Tennie's dazzled eyes
would permit her to see, she found, to
her astonishment, that she was back in
the house that she supposed she had
quilted forever, and surrounded by her
father, and quite large group offriends
and relatives.
"My daughter" said Mr.. Stacey, adj
ing toward her, 81 trust that l have
played the role of the "tyrannical faith
er to your entire satisfaction, and that
you will now permit me to offer you
my congratulations upon marriage
that has long been the first wish of my
heart" s.s..-.. r.fa4..s.,., ia
II hope you enjoyed your ride, said
her roguish brother Tom who in the ca
pacity of coachman, had driven her all
about the outskirts ofthc town, and fin
ally back to the place from where they
started.
.saow could you deceive me SOP" said
Jennie, turning hereyes reproachfully
upon her husband, as her mind slowly
took in the ruse that had been played
upon her. suo ga8+ aa.l ,saii I
"My dearest love-" he said, with a
look that quite disarmed her, "it was

BEGINNING THE WORLD.

Many an unwise parent labors hard
and lives sparlngly all his life, for the
purpose of leaving enough to give his
children start in tie world, as it is
called. Setting young man ahoat
with money left him by relatives, is like
tying bladders under the arms of one
who cannot swim; ten chances to one
he will loose his bladders and 60 to the
bottom. Teach him to swim and he
never will need bladders. Give your
child sound education, and you have
done enough for him. See to it that
his morals are pure, his mind cultivated,
and his whole nature made subservient
to the laws which govern men, and you
have given what will be of more value
to him than the wealth of the Indies
To be thrown upon ones resources is
to be cast into the very lay of fortune,
for our faculties then undergo devei-
opment, and display an energy, Of
which they were previously unsuseepti-

lP~The morality of some people is
like their crockery; they have two sets,
one for show, and one for use /; and
they both answer the same purpose,
the one satisfies the minds of other peo-
pie, the other their own. But this
much may be said of both, that howev-
er we'll they may serve the purposes Of
this world they are of no value for the
Be1ts.

likely to obtain. In fact the system (for

seems to us to be little short of suicidal.
We think it time that this should be now
fully understood and that the policy OF
trading off" old "for new material, " so
long current with Us, as elsewhere, should
be generally discontinued.
These are no times to exchange expe-
rience for inexperience. They are mo-
mentous and demand the largest expert
ence. capacity and fidelity on the part of
our representatives. We hope. therefore,
that in our own State, in the four districts
now represented by Democrats, (and e.
specially in this district, the conventions
soon to meet for nomination of candidates
will recognize the justice of the views
above expressed, and renominate the gen.
tlemen who now SO ably sustain the opin-
ions of the people of Maryland in the halls
of Congress.

Governor HoRAT1o SEYMOUR, of New

The latter had no competitors and was con-
sequently elected on the first ballot The
nominations were announced amid the
widest enthusiasm and if the unanimity
with which the nominations were made be
presage of success, there is little doubt
that the ticket will sweep the country in
November next. The Convention, after
appointing committees to notify the nom
nees of their selection and adopting the
usual resolution of thanks, then adjourn

National Democratic Convention, has CIV
en- strength and firmness to all Govern
ment bonds, inasmuch as the principles of
economy and adherence to the written law
will undoubtedly strengthen the national
credit, and, if carried into practical ope-

The Presidents Proclamation.

In compliance with an act Of Congress
passed on the 25th of last month, the
President has issued a proclamation an
that the Legislature of North
Carolina has ratified the pending amend
ment to the Constitution known as "arti-
Gle fourteen" The President makes re-
ference to his having received the resolu-
ton of the Florida Legislature ratifying
the same, but announces the fact that it
was passed prior to the act Of Congress
mentioned, which act is prospective in its
bearing. For this reason, doubtless, the
action of Florida is entirely ignored. The
tenor of the proclamation is significant,
showing that Mr.. johnson is determined
not to recognize the reconstructed States.
He speaks of receiving paper "purport-
ing to be resolution of the Legislature
of Florida" from Harrison Reed, who
therein signs himself Governor. Again,
the other paper was. he says, TRANSMIT
ted by and under the name Of W. W.
Holden, who therein writes himself Gov
ernor of the State of North Carolina
and so with The other parties whose sig
natures are attached. All of this implies
that in his official capacity the President
recognizes neither Mr.. Reed nor Mr.
Holden as Governors of their respective
States.

Pacific Guano Company's
SOLUBLE
(CAPITAL, 1,0O0,OOO)
GUANO.

THE VALUE OF THIS GUANO is now
l. so aoeu knoa0n and appreciated, that it does
not require further commentator from us.
The Company o,cns the Guano Islands, and
other sources Of supply from which its raw
material is drawn. Hence, this Guano, pos
sessing such high excellence, can be brought
into market at price not exceeding that of
the ordinary Super-Phosphates of Lime.
The large capital invested by this Company
affords the surest guarantee of the continued
excellence of their fertilizer, as the safety of
their capital depends upon continued and
permanent business.
Experience has shown that this Guano rip
ems the Wheat crop from .tfre to si1 days ear
lier than the Super Phosphates.
1t is the policy and purpose of the Company
to furnish the best fertilizer that enterprise
and capital, aided by the best scientific abili-
ty, can bring into market, at the loacest pos
sible cost to consumers.
