CHAPTER xIv.-MRs. WINCH Is SOLICITED.
TO NAME TIE DAY.
II must say, Martha, that black be-
comes you amazingly.
The speaker was Mr.. Breckenridge (;
the hour IL Pm; and the place. the
snuggery behind the bar Of the Hand
and Dagger. The last Of the parlour
company was gone, the house was
closed for the night, the servants were
in bed, and the two who sat there were
at liberty TO do their courting unwatch-
ed by idle ewes. The chemist, portly
but slightly bloated, lolled back in an
easy-chair, a steaming glass of grog at
his elbow, and freshly-lighted cheroot
between his lips; while the widow.
more pale and erious-looking than
ever in her mourning dress. sat gazing
steadily into the fire. with her feet rest
ing on the fender. and her chin dropped
into the hollow Of one nervous mascu-
line-looking hand
Il should like you much better, Cur
ney. if YOU were not such tattcrer,
| she said, but in tone by no means in
dicative Of displeasure.
Il amt a fiatterer, upon my soul.
Martha-at least, not in the present
case" responded Breckenridge. You
do look nice, and shouldn't care who
heard me say so. You look more OF q
/ lady in black dress than in anything
else"
The widow shook her head dissen'
tinglv, but her pale cheek flushed slight.
ly: she loved, as much as il lay in hel
cold nature to love any one, this burly
loud-voiced chemist. who. if he were
coarse and dissipated, had at least hi'
share of good looks and was, besides
considerably younger than herself; anc
his words fell pleasantly on her ears
Now that we are here by ourselves
and everything jolly" resumed th'
chemist after a few silent pulls at hl
cigar, Il may as well tell you, Martha
what is uppermost in my mind, and ha
been for a long time, only this unfortu
nate business of your mothers death ha
made me put off speaking about it til
now. Without further preface, here
is: Martha, obige me by naming th
day"

Men Versus Carpet-Baggsrs.

There is perhaps no better evidence
afforded of the gross misrepresenta.
tion of the Southern people. than is
found in the fact that, with the rarest
exceptions, the ISLANDERS given cur
rency and creGence IN the North, sell
dom emanate from those persons in
the South of Northern birth or who
have settled in that section since the
war, who are engaged in any honor
able and legitimate profession or
calling. Northern papers talk of the
everywhere expressed hatred of
the Northern Yankee but this is
true, or applicable, only to those
whose mission in the South is neither
honorable nor honest in short, those
strictly of the genus carpet Dagger.
Thousands of men of Northern ex-
traction, now living in the South,
can attest, that to every man who
comes as helper in repairing the
ravages of war and building up her
interests, the South extends the
hand of welcome, no matter from
what section of the country he may
hail. From this class, which is by
no means small one, and constant
ly augmenting from the very reasons
that we have stated, we hear nothing
of that intolerance and prescription
which the carpet-baggers would fain
have MS believe peIvades the section.
A large portion of the army sent
South during the war were never
withdrawn, preferring TO be muster
ed out in this section. Thousands
soughthomes and emplOymentanong
the people whom they had been en-
gagged in fighting. One class of these,
attracted by the fertility of Southern
soil, the salubriousness of the South
ern climate, and the hospitable and
generous traits of her people, very
soon identified themselves with her
interests. and, forgetting the asperi-
ties and ill feelings of the war, locked
hands with those lately in arms
against them, and iuaugurated the
work of recuperation and reeonstruc-
, tion in earnest. All such have the
respect of the true Southron, and
have learned to respect him in re-
turn. But that other class, led into
the service of the North from
no other motive than that of plunder
, or adventure, wanderers upon the
face of the earth, moral and political
vagabonds, these, when the war
! closed, were spawned upon the South,
and, graduated in every species of
villainy, have been as brood of
maggots. polluting and, at the same
time, feeding upon the society in
: which they exist. While the one
: class is respected, can it be any
+ matter of astonishment that the
y other is the object of contempt
!. antipathy and prescription in the

platlon for Republic. tits:

I'd. A Military family with the
President.
Sd. A Military Executive Man.
sion.
4th. A Military Guard around the
White House.
9TH. Then comes Gen. Sherman
in command of the U. s. Armies,
and announces to the country the
members of his staff. And who are
theyf Who but men controlling the
head of every bureau attached to the
War Department, and completely
swallowing up the whole Depart
ment. The Adjutant- General, In
spector- General, Quartermaster-G Gen
eral, Commissary General, Surgeon
General, Paymaster- General, Judge
Advocate General, Chief of En-
gineers, and the Chief of Ordnance,
all heretofore the subordinates of the
Secretary of War, are now declared
to be but the Staff Officers of the
General Commanding the Army.
9th. A Military Secretary of War,
with military sympathies all round.
9Th. Ten States under Military
rule.
Sth. Georgia out in the cold.
Ditto Louisiana, ditto Virginia,
Texas and Mississippi.
9th. Arkansas under scalawag
Militia and North Carolina under
Negro Militia.
If this is Reconstruction, it is a
failure. If it is Republicanism, it is
greater failure-but if it is Military
Despotism, then we can understand
it. We but discharge a simple duty
to our countrymen when we entreat
them to watch, and as far as they can,
arrest these innovations upon the
Constitution of the country and the
examples of the fathers.

A young lady kept a list of her

A critic calls the verses and senti-

1t is argued for short dresses that
they give plain girls chance. What

Drinking glasses are made for
man and looking glasses for woman.
One makes the head unsteady with
liquor and the other with vanity.
A contemporary says if a woman
wants to get her name in the news
