their own columns, and making
a parade of their ability and in

upon two things: They are
wanting in brains and public
support. Ifanewspaper is truly
meritorious, people will be
quite sure to find it out without
any self-laudations. Egotism
in a public journal is more in-
sutferable and detestable than
in the individual man. n

with unnatural calmness, but now il
shall be revealed TO you. Years ago, ]
met with young man named Percy
Phane. lie loved me, and returned bis
love bnt my parents opposed our union
fearful Of never obtaining their consent
we were claudesinely united. Nopublit
announcement was made Of our ma, riage
afterward. One year later, my husband
died and few months after, my son,
Maurice, was born. My aunt, who knew
our secret, raised him as her child; and
no one, except the parties concsrned
knew any better.
When you asked me to marry you,
could not summon enough courage to tell
you the history of my past life. You
know il now. The person met tonight
was my son, Maurice"
lie interrupted her with sharp, wild
cry: I" He is dead, fear, and IL killed
him"
"You have broken my heart then" "
was the faint reply, and she fell forward
on the carpet in swoon.
In after life, Ellis Ashbrooke remem.
more wretchedness to him than he had
ever before experienced. If he had killed
this man he did not care to live. Oh.
how guilty he felt. He believed every
word his wife spoke; but they gave him
no joy, for a gnawing remorse filed his
heart. All at once sudden thought en-
tered his mind. Perhaps Maurice was
not dead.
4 vigorous pull at the bcll-ropc speed,
/ lily brought several servants to the room :
and while some attended to his wife, two
or three accompanied him to the spot
where be bad left Maurice Phane living
in an unconscious state. He had fired at
him, saw him fall prosirale-dead. he
fhought-and, without pausing to ascer-
tain whether or not his shot had taken
effect, had hurricdly left the place.
They came upon him at last anj as the
dim rays Of the lantern flashed on him.
they perceived that be was yet alive, and
that the rain dashIng in his face had par
TALLY revived him.
Ellis Ashbr0oke bent over him with a
glad, exullant cry. lie was saved from
murder. and the brand of Cain was not
on his brow.
There remains little more to tell.
Maurice was conveyed TO the house. He
was not hurt much-uot seriously so at
any rate-and in few weeks recovered.
lie did not go away again. Ellis Ash.
brooke would not low him TO do so. In
IN the future Rosedalc Hall was TO be his
home.
We viii but briefly allnde to the recon-
citation between husband and wife. Re
ins,ated in each others affection, they
were both happier than heretofore; be,
because the spferings he underwent that
night soltened his stern nature, and made
him nobler man; she, that perfect con-
Gdenee existed between them, and that
her secret need be no longer concealed.

GOOD ADVICE.

A writer in the Indiana Democratic
Times presents some plain truths upon
the duty Of Democrats In the crisis.
While all realize and acknowledge the
vital necessity of making combined eff
fort Of the whole democratic and conserya-
tive force Of the country against the hate
full heresies Of radicalism, men are yet
heard to denounee new recruits to our
standard for having been opposed to US.
They seem to forget that il our earnest
eDdeavor TO gain accessions from the
ranks Of the enemy. To this end We pub
lish newspapers, make stump speeches,
and prosecute political campaigns, reeog-
nizing the fact that thousands Of our fel-
w-citizens, equally honest and we'll
meaning as ourselves, are to-day in the
radical ranks, who should be fighting the
battles Of Constitutional liberty under the
banner of Democracy. It remains with
US TO make them see this matter in its
true light, and every honorable means
should be used for this purpose. And the
man who discourages the great work be-
fore US, by sn ering at or denouncing new
converts, is doing an injury to the cause
Of liberty and self-government, and fails
in his duty as true DemocTat.-SonoDsG

HUSBAND. COME HOME.


| TThe following parody on "Father, dSr father
come home with mo now" win be Appreciated
by ''mcmbors" and others in this region. II 4
written by an anxious wife to her husband who i
in the Massach asetts Lcgislature.--Ep DEM.1
Husband, dear husband come homo 10 mo now,
From the city and State House so warm,
IT'S lonely without you why do you not come,
And sec to the things on the farm1
\ iou told me, when you were elected last fall,
II would but once let You go,
You'd surely return before April was past,
And really believed 'twould be so.
Come home como home come home
Dear husband, kind husband, como home
Husband dear husband, come homo to me now,
Come home ere the spring time Is through
The old brindlo co.'s has got white calf
And the young lambs are blcating for you
The hens have been sitting fortnight OF more
They soon will be OF with their hroods.
And the old specklcd turkey has stolen her nest
Away in the brakes of the woods.
Husband. dear husband, como home TO me now,
The garden needs spadng for peas.
The buys should be picking up stones in the lot,
And you should be trimming tue trees.
When will ytu get through with your bills and
resolves,
Stop talking of license aud rum,
or railroads and tunnels, aud other such things,
And tend TO your business AZ home!
Husband, dear husband don't write TO mo more.
OF thcater, lobby and club,
Nor dinners you've eaten al Parders and
ioungs.
Eut hurry away from tho Club"
fesi hurry back home. your Bctsey Is sad,
Her heart Is 80 honest and true
All winter she's slept ia the bed .room alone,
And say, dearest husband, have yoa.
Husband, dear husband, come home 10 me now,
Come home while the birds sing in May.
And let not the smiles in ,he gallery there
Distract you, or tempt sou to stay.
The voice Of your Betscy is calling you now.
Come home for you know what II means.
Tu getting quite nervous about yDu--csmu home,
And We will have cowslips for greens!

No man can be worthy member of
the party who will not bow to its decision
when in convention assembled. Without
this, there is no unity. no safety. no or
ganization, and We should degenerate into
a mere mob. Let it never be said, at this
day and time. when the Fifteenth Amend
ment is suspended over our heads, with
all its curses aud denominations, that any
Democrat faltered or turned from the
path Of duty. Stand for the right in this
hour Of trial, shoulder to shoulder, and
s"n and sire, presenting an unbroken front
t. the enemies of the white government,
aud when thc smoke of the battle clears
away. the grand old ensign of Democracy
will be seen waving in triumph over Cal
ifornia, redeemed and saved from the
curse of mongrelism.-.Sonoua Democrat.

CHINESE LABoRERs.-There are re-
ports, which come in rather strange
way and need confirmation, that q num-
bers Of thousands Of fChinamen, lately en-
ploycd on the Pacific Railroad, are on the
way from Omaha to the South Such an
immigration, if true, would occasion not
little surprise in the public mind, hav-
ing an important bearing upon the ma
terial and political interests Of the South
ern States. 1t would be an evidence, too,
Of the shrewdness Of John Chinaman, and
show that he keeps himself thoroue bly,
versed on what is going on around him
more especially where his pocket is di-
rectly concerned. The idea has found q
lodgment in his brain, that the South
needs labor, and just that sort of labor
which the Chinese can furnish cheaper if
not better than any ether people on earth.
For Chinaman has Intimately more In-
dustry and intelligence than negro, and
will gro8 rich on what negro will waste.
lie is the man above all others to work the
cotton and sugar plantations of the Gulf
States, and TO reconstruct on solid and
permanent basis, the labor system of that
section. If an instalment Of Chinese
should succeed in gaining foothold there,
others will follow, until tens of thousands
Of Celestials will contribute TO the wealth
and prosperity OF the country. It is the
first time in the history of the world that
Asia and Africa are brought face to face
in social and political antagouism; and
the result will be watched with the deep
est interest by those who appreciate the
gravity of the interests involved Missouri

sight by cataract. He sent for surgeon,

provided his sight should be regaincd.
The treatment proved successful. and the

half the sum promised would be given.
