The Plot Against Hawley.
CHAPTER FIRST.
HOW THE PLOT ORIGINATED.


Near noon, the 9th OF September, 1862, n
man laboripF under great excitement, was
walking hurriedly up Broadway, New York.
His features were flushed and convulsrd, his
glancrs wild and restless, his whole mien in
dcatve of keen anguish.
Turning to the right into Blocker street, he
soon reached plain three story and basement
brick house, 10 which he gave himself admit
tance.
"Are you there, Ruth ?" he called from the
ball.
A step was heard overhead, followed by the
rustling of u dress, and young lady descend
ed the front stairs. Despite several points of
marked contrasts, there WAS family likeness
about the couple that proclaimed them to be
brother and sister. EE
"Why. what's the matter, Luke?" cried the
latter, starting at sight of the disturbed coun-
tcnance that met her view. Are you i'll 7"
"Ive just received had news" replied the
brother, leading the way into the paror-
news which has given me terrible shock"
"Shocked? YOu! What has happened p
'"ln word, Clara Aymdr Is married r.
"Married!" echoed the sister, rtcoiling-
"Clara AymRr married Is il possibleW
"Yes, married. the girl I've been laying
siege To for years past-the only girl ever
cared pin for Imagine the shock this event
gives me. I'm nearly crazy"
"Then you really loved herr"
else this thing would not have so completely
upset me-" rE r' rt
Oh, as to that, the loss of thing always
gives us an exaggerated notion of its value"
said the sister philosophically, as she sank
langudly into'an' easy cnair and smooihed out
a fold in her sh0wy morning robe. You are
simply shocked, MS you say. But by to-mor-
row you " i'll laugh at the whole mailer.p
Don't, Rnihr' implored the brother, sink
ing heavily into the nrnrest chair. CLARA
Aymar is more 10 ne than my life My love
for her is delirium It's no snch passing fan
cY as you suppose but an everlasting passion
"a rage-a food of molten lava And I've
counted all along upon marrying her. True,
she has rejected me twice, but thought she'd
change her minh--"s ~, -- ..
"She was in no way committed 10 your"
mo, of course not. She has never given
me any encouragement But am none the
less surprised, supposed that everything
was favorable enough to lny wishes / knew
that she was still young TO marry-an orphan,
without mOney and without frirnds-presum-
ably without suitorsi and haltered myself
that she could not always remain insensible

CHAPTER II.
A GREAT STEP TAKEN.

In the midst of the Antarctic ocean, a little
off the route from New York to Australia,
there lies II large island named Kerguelen's
Land, or-as Capt. Cook called 1.-THE Island
OF DesDlation.
1t was discovered just hundred years ago,
lin l772) by the French naval officer whose
name il bears. 1t was uninhabiied then, and
is to-day ms deserted as ever.
The smallest school-boy among our readers
can find it upon his map of the world, about
midway between The south end of Africa and
Australia, well up toward the South Pole.
1t is u hundred miles in length by fifty in
breadth. and is consequently three or four times
as large as Rhode Island
lis coasts are so wild and dangerous that Its
discoverer, during the Two expeditions that
he made To it, did not once bring his ships TO
anchor in any OF It's bays and harbors.
It's shape is very irregular, but something
like that of an hour glass. il being nearly cut
in two by couple of large bays; but these two
divisions are unequal in size, the northern
peninsula being much larger than the southern.
Its coast line is wildly broken and jagged,
its innumerable CULTS being long and narrow,
and lis promontories are cOrrespondingly
sharp and slender, reaching out into the ocean
like fingers.
The body of the island indeed resembles

BEES ON SMALL SCALE.-There are
many households whose means will not
enable them to buy COW or provide
keeping for her were they in possession
of one. But they may be equal to the
purchase Of colony Of bees and to pro-
vide hives for the swarms resulting
therefrom. Bees, like other stock, re.
quire pasturage, but unlike horses, cattle
and sheep, they are free commoners,
ranging at will in search of stores, nor
can they be arrested and punished for
their intrusion upon premises alien to
their owners. A single colony of bees,
i'll good condition in the spring, may be
counted npon 20 double or triple their
numbers in single season, securing am
pie stores for winter consumption, while
supplying gratifying surplus each au-
tumn for household pur poses. This &C.
cumulation will prove most acceptable
in families, especially while the price of

The meeting was organized by Sc

and DR.. Burg, Secretary.
j. A. Lumbard, nominated Charles

Scott Clingan nominated Charles
S. Wolf, of Union.
After number of ballots were had,
and as neither party seemed willing
to surrender their claims, O motion
was offered by j. A. Lumbard, sec

that the conferees adjourn to meet

We can not see why there should
be any difficulty in making nomina-
ton.
We think it no more than fair that
the nomination should belong to
Union county this year. There is no
man in the county that would make a
better member than Mr.. Miller, yet
we havosour serious doubt whether
it would be policy to insist
upon his nomination at this time. 1t
was generally understood by the peo-
Pile at our Primary election that
Union county was entitled to the
member and that the nomination of
Mr.. Miller was only to be matter OF
compliment.
True, Mr.. Herrold's conferees had
no right to bind the party in the
manner they did, last year, but they
have done it and we think we should
stand by it.

nomination for the next two years
and after that we can again clearly
