Under the brilliant gaslight stood that

She sprang to meet him.

But she fettered him with her white arms,

''Lionel, if..you will take me, am yours,

The strong man reeled and would have
fallen, had not she supported him.
Need we describe the Joy Of the wander

How the past seemed like hideous dream,

the future so rich with unreasonable hope,

oh, am SO happy! God is good will
praise Him all the days of my life"

and put her in the highest circle of fashion
able life, with plenty of money and full
scope to do as she pleases, let her dress her.
self as she will cover herself with dia-
monds and pearls, costly silks and laces -
let the love of admiration become the con-

ness of that young nature passes away =
her thoughts concentrated upon herself,
what figures she is cutting, who her ad-
mirers are, what conquest she can make !;
and by and by the youthful beautiful mod
esty is gone, and the way is open for vice
that, in the beginning, would not have been
dreamed of. or if thought of, put away as
utterly impossible.

Neyer,Runin Debt.

The Cuztivator and Country Gentleman
says that it is always poor policy to run up
store and mechanic bills ready money will
always gave more than the interest The
cash customer is sure to be better and more
promptly served, and to get better article
at more reasonable price than the slow
paymaster. Tho reason is easily seen; the
merchant or mechanic can use the money
thus paid several times, making a profit
each time; but when paid once year, there
can only be one profit in a year. Ready
money is also convenient when there is a
chance to buy any stock, or other property
needed on the farm, at low rate. Much
is lost in buying at the wrong time, paying
high prices to obtain credit, and by other
difficulties that want of funds brings farm
er into. Plenty of available funds are also
needed to enable the farmer to sell to the
best advantage. No small share Of the
profits that should be realized by many far
mers is lost because they are obliged to sell
at the wrong time, Every farmer should
have money to use so that be may not be
forced to sell at very low rates, when it is
evident that. by waiting better price may
be obtained.

THE SITUATION IN FRANCE.

Bismarck has plainly intimated to Sam
BETA that his disqualifications, as set forth
in the Bordeaux decree, are not calculated
to secure the election Of a free Assembly,
md he therefore insists upon having it
changed. Gambetta answers that he
knows the decree is calculated to Illustrate
Bismarck's plans, as well as the Imperial
ists', and for that reason it was so formed.
He says the French people will not be die
tated to In this matter, and that they will
not yield in this respect until forced to it
by determination.
A large meeting of citizens was held at
Bordeaux, endorsing Gambetta and nonni-
mating him for the Presidency of the Com
mittee of Public Safety.
Emperor William, in his reply to the
lower house of the Prussian Diet, speaks
guardedly of peace, and says the Germans
may yet be called upon to make greater
sacrifices. In view of the defiant position
of the Bordeaux Government and large
number of the people of Southern France,
it would seem that the German Emperor's
caution was not over great. From Lyons
comes the news of large meetings of citi-
zens full of defiance. and opposed to terms
for peace such as Germany exacts. From
all this it would seem that there may be
further resistance, though we are free to
admit that we cannot see how it can be
very protracted, even if carried to the last
extremity. Nearly every French army of
large size or organization is disbanded or
captured. While France is demoralized
during the armistice, Germany is prepar-
ing for vigorous offensive operations, and
will, after its termination, be in condition
to crush out what is left of its military
power. While, then, there may be further
war, it cannot be on such large scale or
with such frightful sacrifices as heretofore.

WHAT THEIR FRIENDS SAY OF THEM.

Republican papers are not the only
journals that find fault with the Legisla-
ture which has disgraced the State, by re-
manning in session a great portion of the
time for two years, and done comparative
ly nothing that could be set down to their
credit. The Chattanooga Times gives them
the following complimentary notice:
Journed sine die, and the people will rejoice that
it has. This Legislature marked the transition
state from loyal prescription to freedom, and
while IN calling Convention to revise the Con-
stitution it has accomplished great good to the
people, it has miserably failed in its manage
ment of the finances, and has left burden upon
the next administration which will be hard to
carry. 1t has not been without some able men
in its councils, but as the whole it has been
failure. We think Brownlows reported re-
mark, that this Legislature had made his APP
pear respectable by contrast" was too severe,
but it was bad enough"
Our neighbor, the Wing and Register,
pays its respects thus:
The Legislature adjourned sine die yester-
day, after several long, exhaustive and most
proftless sessions. Probably no legislative body
has ever assembled from whom the people ex-
pected so much, and received so little of good.
Our hopes were high and our disappointment
has been deep and humiliating. With many it
has been matter of amaZement and most utter
establishment that a body composed of so many
men of ability and influence, with such vast
field of labor before them, could accomplish so
little"
Brought into position through fraud land
an utter disregard of the law, they go out
enjoying the contempt of all. Their ac-
ton will ever prove O. foul blot upon the
history of our noble State.

TAX COLLECTORS AND TENNESSEE MONEY.

Parties whose business it is to look after
our State finances, inorder 70 suppress the
swindling operations of certain tax collec-
tors in connection with the receipt of Ten
nessee money, found it necessary to pre-
pare bill, and ask the Legislature to pass
it, for the protection of public interests. A
very rigid law was passed on the subject,
and if enforced will, we think, meet the
case. With. the greatest possible care, the
Z Tennessee money question must prove
disastrous one in the successful manage
ment of the State finances, and when it is
used by dishonest tax-collectors to put
money in their pockets, it, of course, be-
comes doubly so. The amount of currency
received in the State Treasury during the
past year has been barely sufficient to pay
the salaries of the executive and judicial
officers, while the other current expenses,
and the interest on the public debt, have
been unprovided for.
Virtuous Democrats console themselves
that the law was made for the benefit of
RADICAL tax collectors, not presuming
that those of their own faith and order
could be guilty of malfeasance in Office.
Oh, NO! none but Radicals" could be
thus corrupt But is this the case? We
hear not We have it from what we
deem reliable authority that the of
fee of the tax-collector of Davidson
county was made the headquarters for
brokers, who provided tax payers with
Tennessee money, in case they proposed to
nav their taxes with United States curren-
cy. They stood there from day to day
with their pockets full of the issues of the
Bank of Tennessee, and of course made
hundreds of dollars by selling such issues
m the tax payers. OF course the tax col
lector. the virtuous Democratic tax col
leetor. was a disinterested person in these
transactions. Who said he wasn't? We
have heard rumors of similar import
from Shelby county, and they didn't come
from Radical sources either.
The fact is the State has been well nigh
swindled into bankruptcy, and Democratic
rule has given ~svindling an impulse for
