ABRUPTLY arose, eyclaiming:
"Miss Tracy, your presence humans me.
Each unstudied attitude, yOar speaking
countenance, the very tones of your voice,
all remind me so forcibly of my sister as |
saw her last, that il is hard to divesC myself
of the belief that she is near me. Even
you, Capt. Tracy, remarked your neice's
resemblance to myself, Land as Aline was my
twin sister, you can imagine how nearly
alike we were. l know naught as to her
fate. I parted from her in anger years ago,
and have since lost all trace of her whom |
love better than life itself. Death may
have qu9nched the lOve-light in her dark,
bright eye, or some obscure spot of earth
may be her abiding place. 1 have been
blinded by passion. The pride of the world
for season triumphed over natural atfec-
ton, and, dethrOned her fair image from its
shrine in my heart, but only for q season.
Love conquered at last, and have trayers-
ed distant lands and beneath our own sun
ny skies sought some tidings Of my darling,
but the search has been in vain. Last
nights stormy vigil has shown me the fall
lacyof human pride. The scales have fallen
from my eyes, and her sweet, pictured i'm
age has proved the charm that exercised my
false illusions. Perhaps in your varied
wanderings, Capt. Tracy, you may have

ning?' Mr.. Sclwyn was pacing to and fro
the length of the room, as was his habit
when much excited, while Capt. Tracy and
Aline gazed upon him with mingled feelings
of surprise and compassion. Varied emo
t ons depicted themselves upon the Cap
tain's face during this imprisoned address,
and he merely shook his head in answer to
the bankers query.
"Then l am ignorant Of my darling's
fate" muttered Mr.. Selwyn in a broken
voice.
MIR. Tracy sat for a while with averted
face, as though striving TO conquer some
empowering emotion, and finally said in
tones:
"My surmises may be wrong, Mr.. Selwyn,
but if you will be seated, will narrate
chapter in my LIES history which may
prove OF interest TO you. The ominous fore
bodings of my heart warn me to be pre-
pared for any disclosure.
"About fifteen years ago started on an
voyage, in the trim, new vessel,
Peerless, to which l had been assigned COM

counted terrific gale, which lasted until
long after nightfan. During temporary Iulls
in the gale, we thought we could distin-
guish sounds as of the booming of the guns
of a ship in distress, but the roaring of the
waves and moaning of the wind drowned
all other sounds. But during the gather

be done, which was a splendid beginning
for the present year. The enterprise was
thoroughly canvassed by the local press,
and men Of intelligence and public spirit
pushed the matter among their country
friends, until the sentiment of the people
was wrought up to an encouraging enthu-
siasm. Some men subscribed liberslly,
others moderately, and quite a respecta-

and prosecuted the preparatory work as
far as they were able to go. The spacious

What a magnificent sight it would be
to behold our hills and valleys crowned
and dotted with school houses, all filed
with bright, cheerful-faced children. To

rival Massachusetts in her elaborate de-

winds of the prairie. if we only had the
requisite laws. Vino would not wish to

THE CARD OF De. SEWER.

We regret that the pressure upon our
columns compels rs to defer the publica-
ton of DIR. Sewers address to his late
constituents. The explanations of the
reason hat led to his resignation as our
State Senator are manfully and lucidly
set forth, and it is the most caustic and
exhaustive comment upon the conduct of
the Democratic party that has appeared
in print since the accession of this party
to the control of our State affairs. His ar
guments and deductions are decisive and
unanswerable. 1t is no wonder the
Union and american, SO influential in
bringing about the state of affairs COM
planned of, stigmatizes the statement of
DIR. Sewer as a SANDER upon the Demo
crecy of Tennessee.

THE DAYEWE DO NOT CELEBRATE.

Lives there a school-brcd mar who is
got indebted to George Washington for
an attractive theme. the gorgeous imagery
and dazzling periods of his maiden
speech in public? Who is the fourth of
July orator, that has not rounded the
ringing measures of his patriotic eloquence
to the grandeur and exaltation of his
name? What statesman has not eulogiz-
ed the PROJECTIONS of his political wisdom
and sagacity as almost divine and plead
for a practical reverence of his theories of
Government?
To-day is the anniversary of the birth
Of this immortal man whiah occurred one
hundred and forty years sgo. Looking
back across more than q century ago, we
see him standing upon the Threshold of
our young nation, the pre-eminent man of
destiny. With him as leader, thirteen
feeble colonies, fringing the Atlantic.
were struggling out of the vassalage of
British rule into the precarious i~ndepen-
dence of a Republic. The vast territories
of the interior, swarming with their saw
age populations were unexplored and un-
known. Since those days of uncertainty,
suffering, peril and frontier struggles and
daring which lend to the history of our
early times the fascinating .color of TO
nance, what marvellous transformations,
grand achievements, revolutions and ad-
vances have marked the spreading flew of
the mai nal life. Upon tue crude Thoughts
and uncultivated intellect of a rude but
heroic age we have reared a Government,
that stands an unrivalled marvel among
the nations. AS the queenly Cornelia
proudly pointed to her jewels as the bright
est, we can triunphantly claim ours as
the noblest and purest civilization that
ever adorned and blessed the earth. What
the genius of Washing ton conceived. and
his intrepidity and skill accomplished con-
~stitutes the foundation of this unapproach-
able greatness. We allow the anniversa-
ries Of his birthday to pass barely an
nounoed-never duly celebrated-those
sacred helR6 over which Liberty keeps
eternal watch. 1t is a national infamy
and a national ingratitude.
