composed the limbs for the grave
And there, in that miserable room, FAR
fai away from the scenes OF bis noble
youth, lay Hugh Earlston, the glory O
his manhood long since wrecked and
forever gone. The morning Of his
life had dawned cleai and cloudless,
but ere his sun had passed its noontidt
glory, 1t suddenly set behind cloud OF
midnight darkncss-set, to rise no
more forever. :.
Annie sat through the whole of that
dreadful night and watched beside her
"shrouded dead" Though hidden
from her view, she still seemed to see
his mangled. distorted features, the pis-
tol Slot in his temple, and the blood
trickling through his matted, tangled
hair, as when she first beheld him when
they brought him into the room. She
thought of the time when all these
things were different. And anon, q
gr!evOus sob burst from her heaving
bosom.

Annie Earlston.
BY sILENA e. MOORE.

"Pleasant are the words of the song,
and lovely the tales Of other times.
They are like the calm dew of the morn
ing on the hill of roes, when the sun
is faint on its side, and the lake is set
tied and blue in the vale"
This. sweet strain from the poe: o.
sain was inurmured in low sad voice
by beautiful girl. She appeared to
have passed about twenty four sum
mers in a world of bitterness and dis
appointment. But she was in reality
not more than twenty. She was SOW
ing in an upper room Of tenement
house in one of the dirty streets Of
New York. Her figure was slight, but
well formed. Her hair, black and
glossy as the ravens wing, was wound
in a beautiful coil at the back Of her
head. Her eyes we're large and dark
as night; and in their liquid depths
was look Of mournful resignation as
Of one born to suffer The room was
small and scantily furnished. Every
thing, though neat in the extreme, bore
the stamp of the greatest poverty.
And yet, the first slight glance at An
ME Earlston would convince any one
that life Of poverty and misery had
not always been her lot For there
was about her q look OF refinement,
snch as is never found in persons
reared in poverty or ignorance And
as she sewed on and on, thoughts Of
other days filled her mind like "rec-
objected music" She thought of her
beautiful home in the "Crescent City,"
far, far away in the sunny South"
She thought of her life there SO
bright and happy. And thought Of the
time when she made her debut in So
cicty, and became the ackno wledg I'D
belle of New Orleans. Again she
floated in the merry dance. or wandered
through the room of some palace Of
wealth. leaning on the arm of one who
vowed ever TO love her. She thought
Of him TO Hhom she had given her
bright young heart in all its freshness,
and who had, professcd to love her
with all the ardor Of a proud, manly
heart. She thought of her mother. so
beautiful, loving and gentle, so wor-
shipped by herself. She thought OF
little Charlie. with his golden curls and
laughing. blue eyes, playing bopeep be.
bind mama's. chair. She thought OF
her father, so noble, kind, and gener
Gus; 20 respected by all who knew
him. Oh! the bright happiness of that
lie, that seemed like some far of
dream ofheayen! And again her lips
are repeating those beautiful words
from Ossain-- aI.; s.
"Pleasaut are the words Of the song,
md lovely the tales Of other times.

 Butwh the matter of payment comes in, il. is the old story of equal work and half pay. To this fact General Spinner directs attention, but in very remarkable
 manner. He asks what he styles simple justice; to us it seems compound injustice. It is not even asked that because they do more work, and do it better than male clerks, they should receive like pay" The reason ef this is one that ought to strike joy.into The Rsvolati0n camp. For it is believed that, should this be done foE them, ,'sss sOh0 havs Uoses, would, to degree, qualify themselves for such work and thrust sthem out of their places, and out of em- ploymeRt entirely" The italics are ours, but the reason belongs to the, Treasurer. Dr. John Todd gives, as reason against allowing women entrance into work now mnnnpnlizad by man. that they will drive men away and eventually depopulate the East. But. according to General Skinner, this is impossible, for the men holding the balance of power, the resource the women have IS in under bidding them.
 r It is therefore asked by the Treasurer, that the female clerks shall be classified ACCUCU1uk CO m0E1bs 8S Gu0 m8k6 CI0EkS 8E6a but at lower salaries. Thus, while the fifth class male clerk receives two thousand 8 year, the women in the same grade, doing better and more work, is to have twelve hundred. This places them on level with the lowest class of male clerk, the corresponding female clerk getting but seven hundred. Cog a ssr ..ss.t .-.fi.ser ] If this in any way deserves the name of justice, it IS because it is the kind that is dispensed by the character that Lucy Snow i1 " Villette." drew for the benefit of Paul Emanuel and his colleagues. as-..a.,
 The truth is, let the opponents of wo- mans suffrage say what they will, that there is no competition on equal terms. Let sex once enter, and the woman must work for less money. If it is a question of power only, the possessor, whether man or woman, can make their own terms. If the favorits author is woman, the maga- zines will pay her what she asks; when the houses are crowded to hear Anna Dickin- son, and empty for John Smith, the wo- man can ask what she pleases. If the so- prano is paid better than the basso, it is not because she deserves more because she IS better. but because she holds the power of drawing the best houses, and these the manager is bound to secure. This is be- cause their ability is exceptionable; but in all branches of work where ability is equal, the man holds the power, in his political position, and the most that General Spin ner can do is, to ask proportionate, not equal payment.-B0ston Post .... ..-r

prevails more or less in other continental countries. But this has no relation to re- igious questions. And the simple conclu- sion which we wish to draw is, wa conceive, undeniably, that it cannot be proved, or rendered probable, that the religion pra4 vailing in any European country, taken apart from other causes, influences at all the number of illegitimate births. ReE- gious partisans should therefore be very cautious before they ;endeavor to make capital for their own faith out of the weak
 nesses and sins which they can charge to the account of heretical populations. They lay themselves open to crushing retorts. Better acquiesce in Gibbons impartial con- clusion, that religion-in the partisan sense of the, word-is :" all-powerful to impel,

{ In General Spinner,s recent report to the Secretary of the Treasury, he makes some strong statements in relation to the female clerks employed by the Government and incidentally supplies proof of some of assertions made by the advocates of suf-
 frage for women. After stating that all
 the coupons and all the mntilated United
 States notes and fractional currency are
 assorted, dcounted and prepared for de-
 struction by female clerks, he adds that
 they not only do their work better, but al- so do more in given time than the male
 clerks who receive double the salary, pos
 sibly can. To prove this the female clerks
 were required to recount the work of the
 male clerks, and it was found that they not only corrected errors in the count, but that
 they detected counterfeits that had not be-
 fore been discovered, or known to any per
 son connected with tho Treasury Depart
 ment in this city or elsewhere. and which
 the offices where they were originally res ceivsd, and by those in this office, who had counted them. But for the discovery
 of these counterfeit coupons, the Govern
 meat would have suffered great loss. Wash ington and Philadelphia, he states, are the only offices where; female clerks are em- ployed, and the best work is done in those offices by these clerks. " It has been re-
 marked here. all along, that the remittan- ces of mutilated currency to this office from the office in Philadelphia, are better pre- pared, more neatly done up, with less mis- takes in count, and containing less coun- terfeits than those from any other office. Ihe reasoa is, ha o6ice employs tensals clerks' s'sS ssAl lo 3e'5tsF DaIft This emphatic testimony, twill be re- membered, comes from 2 department filled ] by women, who have had no previous bu- ness training, and who, it is constantly as-
 serted, are kept there, not from any req
 son of personal fitness, but purely through the influence of friends and relatives; and
 who are unrelentingly opposed and slan-
 dered by a large portion of the public. One of the most frequent reasons given Iagainst the employment of women in re' lsponsible positions is that they are less ex
 act. and are unreliable. This assertion
 this statement denies, and if these women do sowelL working better than men who have every advantage of training .ove1
