When the answer was, rs. NJ. Wal
drup, he suddenly released the hough
over which he had been bending, and,
without looking at the ex-soldier, cried,
Follow me into the house," and hurri-
edIy led the way. Amaze as he was at
such conduct, Waldrup mechanically
ebeyed the unexpected bidding, and be-
fore he could pause to think, was in the
presence of q comely matron about
whose sewing chair three happy chill
dren were playing. She was the black
smith wife, the mother of his little ones:
yet as she rose to see who the black
smith had brought in, she caught a
sight of the strangers face, one wild
shrek proclaimed the instantaneous
recognition, and tainted. In the be-
lief that Waldrup was dead, she had
married the blacksmith of Cedar City
in the very year Of the soldiers parole,
and could now only confess her dread
mistake and call alternately on her hus-
band and her God for pardon.
After the first agitation of the sim
gular reunion had partially subdided,
the two men returned to the smithy and
talked the matter over as sensibly and
cooiiy as their respective feelings per-
mitted. Devoutly as he loved the
woman, the blacksmith admitted the
others stronger right to her and gen.
erously consented that she herself
should decide between them. After a
long passion of tears and self-reproach,
she selected TO 60 with him whom she
first loved, but declared with bitter
lamentations that she could not leave
her children. The smith raised his
head from his brest, on which it had
dropped in the first dependency of
her great afaiction. eyed her wistfully
for a moment. and then said, "You
shall take them my dear" When the
steamboat St. Luke stopped at the
landing some hours later, Waldrup
went on board with his still weeping
and thickly-veiled wife. and the black
smith followed with the children. The
boats bell rang for the starting,
and the dread separation was at hand
The crew. the passengers-aa who wit
messed it-were afflicted to tears by the
touching scene.
With great drops rolling down his
tawny cheeks, the smith kissed the
children one after another, and in o
choking voice bade their mother an
eternal goodbye. The two men gazed
wistfully in each others faces, shook
hands earnestly, and then the black
smith, by strong effort of iron will,
released the hand of Waldrup, and
walked quietly to the shore. He never
turned his face again towards the boat,
which soon passed out of sight around q
merciful bend in the river, but strobe
on, with head bowed down, to the home
whittier the voice of his wife and chill
dren should welcome him no more.

PUBLIC REVIEWS.

Mn. EDITOR Public reviews have been much
more frequent the present winter than ever before.
The beginning was made last winter, but they
have greatly increased in number, in interest and
in the attendance of visitors. | have been pres
ent at three Of these, and with few exceptions
beginners-the scholars passed a very fair exam
ination, and would, indeed, have been credit TO
a high school or academy This shows what can
be done when teachers are capable and faithful,
and the scholars are melted by laudablc ambi-
ton. viii not every teacher in the county hold a
public examination at the close Of the termy L,
will give directors and citizens an opportunity to
correctly judge as to the manner in which the
schools have been taught and enable the teacher
to exhibit the character Of the work, and when
well done to get proper credit for 1t. II should be
understood that the kind of examinations here
meant those which consist Of thorough repie,t
Of the branches pursued in the schools; and not a
repetition of few lines OF tho multiplication IN
bic or the recital of few committed answers to
questions. The schools thus far visited with 0
few exceptions, clearly show an improvement oi
20 per cent, and the average attendance is at least
10 per cent. over any previous year. Let every
teacher, then, close his school with public re.
view, and prove to the public conclusvely that az
increased amount Of work has been performed.

RrsINrss.-In December last III

BusINEss.-In December last the
citizens of Clcsr6eld borough elected a complete
new Tewn Council, all the members Of which know
something about business affairs. Whether the
body has organized, or what 1t proposes doing in
relation to the assessment Of the taxes and grading
and improving Of the streets, we know not. That
something substantial should be done to our streets
oil seem to agree, but no one leads of.
The taxpayers have for number Of years past
paid the interest on $4,000, yet little has been
done, because II was not done In the right manner,
and if no "new departure is taken, we will be
compelled to pay the interest on $4,000 for the
next Ave or ten years, and after that, with our
streets in nearly as bad a condition us they were
three years ago, we will be compelled to borrow
$40, 600 to put our streets in decent order
Why not pass an ordinance to borrow the sum
indicated, $1,000 of which could be properly spent
the first year, $4,000 the second and 5000 the
third year, and by that time all our streets would
be graded and put in durable repair, so that but
little expense need be incurred, except to pay the
intcrest-Sl 200 per annum. As it is, three hun
dred and fifty taxables are paying $4,000 each
year, and our streets undrained. Now let us bor-
row the money and issue bonds therefor, redeem
able twenty years from date, with clause to can
eel them after ten years, at the option of the bor-
ough authorities BY pursuing this course we will
bcautify and render our borough healthful, and
pay one-third less tax than we do now. Because
instead Of assessing $4,000 tax, we need not 20
over 81 900 at the outside and at the end Of ten
years there will be seven or eight hundred taxa
bes and if the bonds are left to run twenty years,
the burthen will be carried by two thousand tax
ables.
At tho present rate of taxation and improve
mentQ) 1t costs an average tax of $3.50 to each
taxable, and the streets are still unimproved.
Now, let us borrow 5000 for ten years, the in
terest of which Is 81, 200, or about S34O per taxa
bic, little over half what we arc now paying.
According to the present programme, each taxable
will be compelled to pay S6s for street purposes in
the next ten years, or an aggregate of $4,000,
and If we add the interest, $4,000, Il will amount
in all to $2s,OOO.
Now which does the sensible taxpayer preferi
