short time the runaway couple re-
ceived assurances Of forgiveness, and
returned to the house at Gulf Mills.
They also lived for a time at
Norristown, and in Philadelphia
again. Itwasn't long after marriage
until Mrs. Wharton was in financial
difficulties again, which were again
settled by her father.
After this, her husband who was
Captain now, was sta4ioned at Fort
Kearney for some five or six years.
Mrs. Wharton accompanied him, as
indeed she did in all his wanderings
even going down into Texas with
him on one occasion. But while out
on the plains the eyesight Of the
Captain had become defective, and
ne and his wife returned to Phila-
delphia again.
AT the breaking out of the war the
captain got commission in a Della .
ware regiment, and eventually was
appointed general disbursing agent.

time they lived in washington
This was his home up to his myste-
rious death in 1867.
Such are some ofthe salient points
and bold outlines in the career Of
this most remarkable woman. Not
withstanding the growing suspicion
that she also poisoned her husband
and son, it is the universal testimony
that there never was a more loving
wife. She was most passionatsly
devoted to him, and followed him
everywhere. Money was her great
weakness. She was nearly always
in difficulties of this kind, and would
borrow from one andanother. This
is of course, to be accounted for in
great measure by her inordinate
passion for dress. Wherever she
went she was bound to move in the
most fashionable circles, which she
invariable adorned by her beauty
and engaging department.

A Fooliah Girl.

A young lady who is not acquaint-
ed with herself, writes Us to ask the
following questions:
81 am a young lady not yet mar
ried, but have two lovers. one of
them is rich; the other is poor. I
love them both alike. Each of them
wants to marry me.
"Shall marry the poor one and
work for a living or the rich one and
live a lady?,
You had better ask your mother
to heat the bake-oyen and give you
baking. The Bidle says EYE can
not serve God and MammOn." Nor
can man or woman love two persons
exactly alike. In all probabilities
you do not love either-have mis-
taken a sort of Observation-Disclosures
sugar on-it-friendship for love.
Several hundred thousand people
have done the same thing before
now and lived to discover their mis-.
take.
The woman who loves nobody; the
man who loves two women well
enough to marry either one is in the
same fix. There is in the above
something more important demand
ing reply. Whether to wed a poor
man and work for living or q rich
man and live a lady. The happiest
people are those who have something
to do; some employment with which
to busy their minds and prevent the
devil making of their heads work
shops in the interest of slander idle
ness and dissipation. The woman
with something to engage her mind
is always happiest. This happiness
is pure and lasting in proportion as
the work on which she is engaged Is
for the good of others or the benefit
of the world at large. There is hap
piness and glory in helping loving
husband to work and win his way
in the world, for then, as the years
come, that husband grows to feel
and to know that The wife who is
thus aiding him in his struggles is a
sacred, living, cherished part of
himself-her love, patience, care, at
tention and handy-work is imprinted
equally with his own on every ar
ticle the two by united effort have
The woman who lives in idleness,
simply as "a lady" of rich husband,
knows but little of real happiness or
true enjoyment. She is unneces-
sary to the happiness Of her hus-
band, and in nine cases out often,
loses her influence over him as he,
living in idleness, is apt to run his
life into dissipation, to find enjoy
ment away from her presence, to
grow apart from her, and in time
come to consider her as no particu-
ar use other than to crafty pride or
Dassion.-Pomeroys Democrat.

Inc 1OAOWlng nne poem was composed an
read by John Hay before the trienniaI re-ur
ion of the Army OF the James, at Apollo Hal
in New York City, on the 10Th of the prese1
lmonth;l
THE ADVANCE GUARD.
In the dream of the Northern poets,
The braves who in battle die,
Fight on in shadowy phalanx
In the field of the upper sky:
And as we read the sounding rhyme,
The reverent fancy hears
The costly ring of the viewless swords,
And the clash of the spectral spears.
We think, with imperious questionings,
OF the brothers that we lost,
And we strive to track in deaths mystery
The fight of each valiant ghost,
The Northern myth comes back to us,
And we feel through our sorrows night
That those young souls are striving still,
Somewhere for truth and right.
1t was not their time for rest and sleep;
1u6n HedElS D6db ulAAu obAOuB3
In their fresh veins the blood of youth
Was singing its hot, sweet song:
The open heaven bent over them;
Mid flowers their 1.-the feet trod;
Their lives lay vivid in Light, and blest
BY the smiles of women and God.
Again they oomel Again I hear.
The tread of that goodly band;
/ know the fash Of Ellsworth's eye,
And the grasp of his warm, true handl
And Putnam, and Shaw of the lion heart
And an eye like Boston girls;
And see the Light of the heaven which shone
On Uric Dahlgren's ourls!
There is no power in the gloom of hell
To quench those spirits fire;
There is no charm in the bliss OF heaven
To bid them not aspire,
But somewhere in the eternal plan,
That strength and life survive,
And, like the files on Lookout's crest,
Above deaths clouds they strive.
a chosen corps, they are marching on
In wider field than ours;
Those bright battalions still fulfill
The scheme of heavenly powers:
And high, brave thoughts float down to US
The re-echoes of that far fight
Like the flash of a distant pickets gun
Through shades Of the severing night.
No fear for them. In our lower field
Let us toll with arms unstained,
That at last we be worthy to stand with them
On the shining heights they've gained,
We shall meet and greet them in closing ranks
In Times declining sun,
When the bugles of God shall sound recall.
And the battle of life be won.

From the "Book Of Blunders, " just
published,We take these samples:
'In the play of Coriolanus, that
noble Roman is complimented with
the court assertion that he was a
soldier even TO "Cato's wish" Now
it happens that Cato was not born
until two hundred years after Cor
iolanus had been banished from
Rome and had died. His friend Men
enius also says of him that he sits in
his state as a thing made for Alex
ander. His death occurred about
400 BE- while Alexander wssnot born
until a century and half later In
another place, MeneRius makes the
still more extraordinary remark that
the most sovereign prescription in
Galen is but empiricutie." As Gal
en- was not born until A. D 1S0, the
dramatist had to leap over 500
years in order to make convenience
Of him. Sc in the tragedy of Julius
Caesar we find an inaceuraey which
cannot be imputed to ignorance and
which is certainly not necessary for
dramatic effect. 1t occurs in a dia-
logue between Brutus and Cassius:
Brutus-Peace! count the clock.
Cassius-The clock has stricken
three. This, be it observed, was
eight hundred years before striking
clocks were introduced into use.
Lear was king of Britain in the
early Anglo-Saxon period of Eng
lish history, yet in the play of King
Lear, Gloster insisting upon seeing
letter his son makes an effort to con
ceaI, says eff it be nothing, I shall
not want spectacles." Spectacles
where not worn until the fourteenth
century. Shakespear also anticipates
in both Macbeth and King John, the
use of cannon. Macbeth was killed in
1854, and King John began to reign
in 1199, while the battle of Cressy
where cannon were first used, occur,
red in 1916. In the Comedy of

A gentleman of West Chester,

other vegetables a year or more as

viii Never be Tolerated.

The Vicksburg Herald thus disposes of the
effort to bring about negro equality in the State o.
Mississippi:
I The insoIent demand Of the-negro- members
of the Legislature that negroes, NTH their wives
or those they may coll such, shall sit in the rail-
way cars assigned to ladies and their escorts, may
as well be met at onco and promptly Radical
carpet-baggers and thieves may pass law de.
claring that negroes shau sit in the same cars
with white people, and at the same tables in ho-
tells with them, and they may afix what penalty
they choose as a punishment for those who deny
them those seats in the cars or in the hotels, but
these laws and penalties will avail nothing. The
white men Of Mississippi do not propose that
Sambo and Dinah shall sit by their sides or by
the sides Of their wives and daughters, either in
railway carriages or in public hotels, and Sena-
tors Gray and Gleed, and Mr.. Jacob Ross, of the
House, may as we'll understand this at once.
There is no power on earth that can compel our
people to this. The army of Grant cannot travel
on railway trains to protect negroes in the right
to intrude Themselves whore they are not desired,
and where their presence will not be tolerated,
and nothing short of this can ever force our peo-
ple to submit to the insolent demand for social
equality with negroes. This attempt of the me-
groes will only produce bad blood, q score or so
ofimpudent scoundrols will be killed, few worth
less carpet-baggors will pass in their checks, and
the knaves and tho fools will then subside. If
the negroes are wise, they will subside before
any Of them got hurt !"

Doee not the condition of affairs in

Does not the condition of affairs in
South Carolina, if they really exist as
Governor Scott states, furnish strong
condemnation of the whole vile thing
called reconstruction. How long will
the United States be able to keep up
and support military establishment
strong enough to furnish each OF the
Southern States with a number of
soldiers sufficiently large to overcome
opposition which the entire State militia
is unable to accomplish, and how long
will the people Of the United States be
willing to be taxed for this purpose?
There is no use in mincing words on
this question. We desire to be frank
and explicit. The people of the North
ought to understand our views and our
intentions. We tell them in all candor
that the white people of the South will
never submit to negro supremacy.
They may, for time acquiesce in a
condition which they feel they have no
power to overthrow, but as soon as
their hands are united and their limbs
unfettered, they will assert their man
hood. The Southern States can not be
made over to negroes and carpet
baggers until the entire white popula-
ton is destroyed. There is no enmity
to the negro, there is no desire to place
him back in slavery. There is no feel
ing of revenge against him to be graft
fed. There is no wish to deprive him
of his full civil rights-no disposition
to wrong or harass him in full assertion
of those rights. But further than this
the white race of the South can not
will not go. Grant may send a large
number Of soldiers into South Carolina.
The people there will not resist the
soldiery. There will be quiet-a hol-
low truce as long as the soldiers remain.
Negro supremacy enforced by Federal
bayonets will be acquiesced in for the
time. But the soldiers can't stay al
ways. When the soldiers leave, the
white men will rise as naturally as a
cork will rise to the surfsce when re-
ieved from the lead which has held it
under the water. There is but one way
to perpetuate negro supremacy in the
Southern States. The white race must
be utterly destroyed before this con-
summation so devoutly wished for by
the Radicals can >be accomplished
