CHATTER w.

The news of Gilbert's engagement
was received by the ST. Adams with
delight, for Lenore Vardelli had won
their affections by her frank engaging
ways as well as by her beauty, 1t was
now January. The wedding was to
come off early in the spring, for Gil
bert would not hear to longer engage
ment. They were to go to Europe on
their bridal tour. Mantau makers rs.were
employed to make the trOusseau that
had been selected without regard TO
cost. The sound of sewing machines
and busy voices were now heard in the
Vardelli mansion, for as a general thing
dress makers are as busy with their
tongues as with their needles. Boxes
arrived by express The rooms were
strewp with rich silks and lace Elab-
crate morning robes and costly dresses
were lying across chairs and tables in
rich protusion, in the room where the
preparations were going on.
The modistes were astOnished at the
indifference of The fair bride elect To-
ward these beautiful things. As the
wedding day approached nearer and
nearer, tn ere came sad look about her
mouth, unusual in one so young. They
wondered at this, and when the bridal
robe was fitted on her, and they pro-
nounced it exquisite, she only glanced
at herself carelessly in the mirror, and
turned away unconscious Of the lovely
picture she made. lo4 5'5a.'7 9''.'.'t
IGNORES bridal morn dawned bright
and clear, though some what cold, for
it was in the month Of March. Lenore
arose earlier than usual, in order to
visit her tayorite baunts, for they were
to go away Immediately after the we'd
ding to be gone two years. While
looking for her hat she went into the
room that contained her bridal array.
Across the bed lay the bridal robe, its
long train sweeping the floor in rich
creamy folds, the little kid gloves,
dainty satin slippers, lace vail, hand
kerchief and wreath Of orange flowers

Conclusion nelt tueek.


In the fall of 1867, Mr.. Newman was
elected to the Legislature by majority
of 248. The proposed XIVth COnstitu-
iOnaI Amendment was conceded to be
the cause of the Republican defeat.
This fall, with Mr.. Newman as candl-
date for the same Office, and the XVIII
Amendment again involved in the con-
test, Mr.. Newman is defeated by a
majority Of q3,-showing an advance
in public sentiment in favor Of univer-
sal suffrage, and a Republican gain Of
t,oO hundred and seVenty-ORe. a5a4 gtp'
The majority against the ConStitu-
tional Amendment in 1867, was 805.
Taking the reelection OF Gov. Hayes
as the endorsement Of the Constitu-
tional Amendment, by 242 majority,
we have a gain since 1867 in favor OF
universal suffrage Of one thousand and
forty-seoen. a lis94og fiGdY
You see the world moves. Public
sentiment advances in favor of the great
principle Of universal suffrage, equal

@Perhaps you were right in your
conjectures y she said, and with a sigh
she left the room.
Mr. Vardelli picked up the package
that his daughter had Ia id on the table,
and said '.Things are working as |
would have them. Lenore will never
know that I wrote the letter she re-
ceived tonight All the letters that
each should have received are at this
moment in my desk. | will see what
she has written to him 2 said he, smil-
ing as he tore open the package
What! nothing! the girl has more
pride than 1 thought. 1t shall 60 as it
is without one word of explanation.
Clarence Howard had been perplexed
by Lenore's silence. When his letters
were returned, be muttered "coquette"
between his teeth, and tossed them into
the fire, but hers were sent to her
promptly. Mr.. Vardelli had forgotten
one thing, with all bis schemiug; that
was, to put the intercepted letters in
each package, but it was unnoticed by
either. Although she tried to appear
cheerful, Lenore was not the same
light-hearted girl she bad been hereto
fore. The piano and guitar no more
felt the touch Of her fingers, and her
merry laugh was now seldom heard.
Soon after her engagement had been
broken, she received letter and bo-
quet of white roses from St. Alban.
The letter contained another proposal.
The conclusion ran thus: II do not
ask you to love me Lenore, only con-
sent to be mine. / cannot bear to hear
another mo- from you lips dear. If
your answer is yes wear some of these
roses in your hair when l call this
evening" She gave the letter to her
father to read. .4
"What is your answerl" said he.
"Whatever you wish it to be-"
"Wear the roses, and may you be as
happy my little Lenore, as you de-
serve to be-" s.,f.. ..s ..r.r .t..
When Gilbert st. Alban entered the
drawing-room of Pine Hall that even
ing, he looked eagerly at LenOre for
his answer Yes! three white roses
nestled in her hair. He took her hand
and said tendcrly: m
"My dear Lenore, l feared to look
at you. have waited patiently, and
now have my reward"
"My sentiments toward you are the
same as ever" she said, somewhat
coldlyi then seeing the pained express
ion on his face, she continued: "Gil-
bert, l will try to add love to the es-
TEEN and respect l now feel for you"

DEATH OF EX-PREsIDENT PIERCE
franklin Pierce the fourteenth president
of the United States, was gathered to his
fathers on Thursday, Oct. sth, dying in
Concord, n. H., on that day, aged 60 years.
As a neighbor and friend he stood high
among his fellows; and knowing what else
we do of his career, we cannot but mourn
that he ever ceased to be a neighbor to his
dear friends in the city Of Concord, then
history were not compelled to record his
base public career and he had lived and
died an honored man, though his name
should never have been spoken beyond his
own loved New Hampshire. The Tribune
in speaking of him, says:
"Mr. Pierce was a small man, placed by
a succession of accidents at the head of the
government, when events too great for his
control, or even for his comprehension,
we're in progress. He doubtless believed
he was serving the country by his super
seryiceable zeal 10 execute the Fugitive
Slave Law, 10 throw away the Missouri
Compromise, to force Border Rutian rule
upon Kansas, to make the Shareholders
policy National
We agree with the Tribune in the re-
mark that he "was a small man, but that
he ever believed he was serving his coun-
try" when he attempted to force slavery
upon Kansas by means Of the Lecomptor
Constitution, and to make it national
we cannot for m m e n admit
Though a weak man he knew better thar
that this was serving his country. He was
serving the democratic party and looking
to his own aggrandizement. He is now a
rest, and will not be missed. Before thu
flowers are again in blossom he will be a
much out of mind as James Buchanan
whom not half the people of the Unitet
States know-or care-whether he be deaC
or alive.

the manufacturers have not lost less, and
probably much more in the aggregate
The west end of the Hoosac tunnel is filled
with water, and one workman was drowned
therein Monday
In Williamsburg eight bridges were car
ried of. Westhampton estimates its loss
at $50, 000 and includes in the items G. B..
Drury's mill, j. S. Kingley's, VIM. Della
nays and John Watson's dams, and half a
dozen bridges. In North Amherst, J. r.
Cushman & Sons weather board mill suf-
fered SIC, 900 damage; and at Pelham the
dam at Horace Gray's saw and grist mill
was completely cleaned out, with every
thing below it. The rain damaged the
highways in Amherst to the amount of
$1,000
Great damage was done on Deerfeld
river and its tributaries. Bridges were torn
to pieces and the crops of corn and tobacco
in the intervals destroyed. The loss in the
town of Deerfeld is estimated at $4,000
to SIS, 900. Lamson & Goodnow's works
at Shelburne Falls damaged $751; 900, and
Shattuck's loss will be 100000 A Mr..
Field of Buckland was drowned while
catching flood wood. In Conway, Tucker

suppose that it is intended only for the ed
ucation of colored people, more especially
since Gen. Howard, the great friend of that
race, has been so active in establishing 1t.
But this is mistake. As Gen. Howard
said to southern gentleman, who inquired
of him if white people were admitted,
"Why sir l am a white man myself, | will
not discriminate against white people, of
course the University is for all colors of
people, and for both sexes"
The money to establish this institution
was contributed by benevolent individuals,
who felt the Importance of liberal Uni
versity, among whom are Gerritt Smith of
New York, and David Clark, of Hartford,
Ct, most of the means being obtained
through the unremitting labors of Gen.
Howard, who is president of the Universe
| ty. The other officers of instruction and
government connected with it are of the
highest type. both as regards character and
intellect, among whom may be mentioned,
are Prof. VIM. F. Bascomb, professor of
the Latin and Greek languages, formerly
of Middlebury College, Vermont, and who
was during the war superintendent of the
U. S. Sanitary Commission; DR.. Rayburn,
chief of the Medical Department, and
many Others. There are among them sew
eral representatives of the despised race,
the eloquent orator, John NJ Langston.
Prof. of Law also certain members of the
" suppressed sex, who | am glad to be
able to state, are paid salaries correspond
ing to their labo,s, just as they would be
elsewhere if they had the vote, suppose
the Apostles ofthe new reform, Mrs Stan

The light of this institution is not put ur-
der a bushel, but it is set up, on a high hill
where it cannot be hid. The grounds, in.
deed commands one of the finest views O
the city any where to be found; just on

throughout the village, until the debut of
Rev. NJ, who had just moved In from
Massachusetts, there was not carpeted

or perhaps he would have hesitated at the
idea of indulging in such an unwonted ar
ticle of luxury.
One day a young farmer, having coca
sion to visit the minister, was shown by
the minister's daughter into the best
room"
When the minister came down to see
him, he found him sitting on chair on
the doorsill, with his legs extending out
into the entry.

unexpected sight, Mr.. M. asked him why
he didn't go into the parlor. -.

for his less fortunate neighbors, he went to
