RIV AL c. u SIN S 9
Or who Shall VIM
By Miss MARY BoNNEY, OF PRINCESS
ANNE.

Among the beautiful hills of
Virginia, our dear old State,
far away from the crowded city ,
lstood two beautiful family resi-
dences, the separate homes of
the rival cousins. Beautiful i,
| have said indeed, one might
be called splendid. 1t was an
old house built perhaps a cen
fury ago, but had been repair
ed with all the modern i'm
provements, with a Terandah of
Mexican style in addition. =
The grounds were beautifully
arranged with the choicest
shrubbery, and here and there
a pleasant summer-house, half
hidden with roses and climbing
woodbines. Beneath a tall
elm in the rear of the building
was a cool fountain, whose
clear water murmured and
gurgled over its pebbly bed, land
flowed into q deep marble
basin. A rustic seat had been
placed near for those who cared
to linger after drinking Of its
sparkling waters. Everything
about the place spoke of gran
deur-a fit abode for a king.
The elegant paintings that
hung upon the walls the rich
Turkey carpet. and soft otto
mans placed here and there !;
the magnificent mirrors that
reached from floor to ceiling,
showed to the eye of the be-
holder that the owner was a
man of pride and worth. This
was the property of Henry Ash
ley and the home of Florence
Crowder, the dark-eyed beauty,
and one of the rival cousins.
| will now describe the home
of the other-that Of sweet and
lovely Minnie Lansing. Moth
ing of the pomp and grandeur
that surrounded her beautiful
cousin, was seen in the quiet
home of Minnie Lansing, The
house was rather small, though
pretty the sitting room, dim
ing-room, and a single parlor,
were the only rooms on the
ground floor ; but refined taste
and neatness were shown every
where. The cosy little parlor,
though plain and simple in it.
self, was a wonder of loveliness
and beauty. A bright Brussels
carpet covered the floor !; a few
paintings, the work of her own
delicate hands, with the fami-
lily portraits, graced the neatly
papered walls. The delicate
muslin curtains of snowy white
ness, looped coquetishly back,
with little knots of gayly color
ed ribbon, lent an attraction to
the room an old-fashioned, but
we'll kept piano, stood where it
had been assigned many years
ago.

of twilight, when the family

Ievening meal been partaken of,
Minnie was called to take the

THE PUREST PEARL.

Beside the church door, weary and lone,
A blind woman sat on the cold door stone
The wind was bitter, the snow fell fast,
And mocking voice in the fttul blast
Seemed ever to echo her moaning cry,
AS she begged for aims of the passers by:
"Have pity on me, have pity pray;
My back is bent and my head is gray"
The bells were ringing the hour OF prayer,
And many good people are gathering there;
But covered with furs and NANTES war N,
They hurried past through the wintry
storm.
Some were hoping their souls to save;
And some were thinking Of death and the
grave,
And, alas, had no time to heed
The poor soul asking for charity's need,
And some were blooming with beauty's
grace.
But closely muffied in wells OF lace;
They saw not the sorrow, nor heard the
moan,
Other who sat on the cold door stone.
At last came one of noble name,
BY the city counted the wealthiest dam /;

strung
She proudly there to the beggar flung
Then followed maiden young and fair,
Adorned with clusters of golden hair;
But her dress was thin and scanty and
worn,
Not even the beggars seemed more forlorn,
With yearbook, and pitying sigh
She whispered soft: an jewels have l,
But give you my prayers, good friend, !"
said she;
"And surely l know that God listens to
me-"
On her poor, weak hand, so shrunken and
small,
The blind oma felt a tear-drop iall,
Then kissed it, and said to the weeping
girl:
sit is you that have given the purest

II Barrabbas the thief, who lived when
Christ died, has not direct descend ants In the
present Rump Congress, it is singular. Every
member has plan, scheme, a swindle on
hand. The forty thieves of "Arabian Nights"
could not begin with these fellows, who,
banded together for plunder, are stealing the
people poor, and at last will steal their
records, and, like the Arabs, fold their bonds
and silently steal away. Bonds for the army.
Bonds for the negroes. Bonds for the water.
Bonds for the land. Bonds for steamship
lines. Bonds for railroad lines. Bonds for
bondholders. Bonds for lobby members.
Bonds by the billion for the people to pay.

More Voters!

From "Brick" Pomeroy'S ~. Y. Democrat.
Ashley of Ohio, as we learn by our special
dispatches from Washington, proposes to in
troduce lunch or cold cut at an early day,
in the shape of bill establishing universal
suffrage in Alaska. Can ii be possible that
the bear oil delegates and tallow-suoking
people of our national ice house have become
so reduced as this Alas Alaska How the
mighty have fallenl The negro first, walking
oil-cans next, and in time will come women.
Open the doors. AS the treasury is depleted,
fill up the ballot-boxes. Let the negro, with
his sweat, and the Alaskers, with their icicles,
enter and possess the halls Of the nation in
time to see the thieves in power marching out
with the valuables. Then let in the Indians
to scalp the negroes, and the smallpox to eat
up the destructionists, and the people will
rejoice. Give US more voters. Print election
tickets illustrated with pictures of the button
bursting martyr for the negroes and white
bears for them other chaps. Never mind in
telligence. Buy few more islands or obso-
lete icebergs. Purchase Abyssinia, Ethiopia
any country full of negroes-send in carpet
baggers, and let them be represented as
American citizens. For the more people we
have, the more we can steal from. And at
the present rate our own people will be stolen
poor before Grant takes his seat after which
time we fear the robbers will begin stealing
from each..other unless somebody now outside
the great American nation can be fooled or
scared into consenting to be of us and with us.

A New Era. .
n new Era
From The ", Y. World.

From 1e N. Y. World.
We have given, and shall from time to time
continue to give, such information as may
reach us in our Southern exchanges of the
industrial revival which seems to have set in
that section, and cannot but fancy our readers
must have been struck, like ourselves, with
the wonderful vitality and reouperative power
evinced by them. Despite combination Of
unfavorsble causes such as, perhaps, has
never fallen to the lot Of any people before,
the Southerners seem literally rising from
the dust and proving that "een in their ashes
live their wonted fires" The talk Of Wall
street is that capital is streaming pretty hea-
vily towards cotton lands, sugar plantations,
railways, and other forms Of Southern invest
ment, aud to a considerable extent the pre-
sent tightness in the money market is attri-
buted to the volume of this drain. 1t is
pleasant to know that, despite our grave fnan-
cial troubles, all is not dark, and it is to be
hoped the reouperation Of the South may
broaden into absolute prosperity, as we'll for
our sakes as theirs. 1t might assist COM
prehension of the advantages now offered by
them to capitalists, il their newspapers would
devote something less of their space to such
ephemera as negro suffrage, reoonstruc ion,
radical domination and so on, and dwell
more fully on industrial topics and local natu-
raj wealth.

600, 900, and as this gain would enable US to
throw of all duties on tea, sugar, coffee, and
many other articles OF daily consumption,
thus reducing their cost about 40 per cent, it
would seem to have been pertinent to his
functions, and would certainly have been Of
great value, if he had given us some exposi-
ton Of the reasons why the frauds in reve
nue. service, which it has been his chief pro-
vince to investigate, have been so vast, and
why SO little progress has been made towards
reform. In view of the extraordinary length,
depth, and breadth of his report in other re-
spects, it is very remarkable that this subj sot
has not even been touched.

The Treasury R'ng-A Peep Behind the
Scenes.
H'om the ~. Y. Herald.


Pronl the N. Y. Herald.
A recent letter from a well.informed Wash
ington correspondent of the Treasury ring is
rich in facts and conclusions entitled to the
immediate attention of Congress, and espe-
cially of the House Committee of Ways and
Means. In the grand schedule of their jobs,
active and projected, for drawing bonds and
lands from the Government, the railroad rings
eclipse all other spoils and plunder combina-
tions; but the appliances of the Treasury ring,
through the bulling and bearing OF its agents
in Wall street, have affected, and still affect,
all the financial and business interests of the
whole country 10 the amount of untold mil
lions in losses to the people and the Treasury.
The continued high prices of living, from the
continued depreciation OF the national cur
reney and its slow approaches to the specie
standard, may be all charged to very great
extent to the manipulations Of the Treasury
ring, whose headquarters are in the Treasury
Department. Our Washington letter referred
to throws considerable light on this business,
and particularly in reference to the projected
European branch of the ring breaches a
scheme which, we think, demands the imms-
diate interposition of Congress.

1t is settled, of course, that Massachusetts,
is the nearest approach yet made on earth TO
St. Augustine's "City of God" and that OF
all the communities ever founded among men
it is the "wisest, virtuouse st, best"
Also, we understand, it is settled that Paris
is, of all the cities ever built since the destruc-
tion of the cities of the plain, the wickedest,
the most wanton, and the worst. These two
points being conceded, it seems to us that q
very curious interest attaches to the following
statistics-
