81 find her very kind, obliging
neighbor," replied Mrs, Fairweather
"Well that is a miracle| exclaim-
ed Mrs. Lane. "Nobody but you
would have undertaken to thaw out
Aunt Hetty's heart"
"That is probably the reason why
it never was thawed," rejoined her
friend. 81 always told you that not
having enough of sunshine was what
allied the world. Make people happy,
and there will not be half the quarrel
ling Or a tenth part Of the wickedness
there is
From this gospel of joy preached
and practiced, nobody derived so
much benefit as little Peggy. Her
nature, which was fast growing crook
ed and knotty, under the malign in
| fuence of constraint and fear, straight
ened up, budded and blossomed in the
genial atmosphere Of cheerful kind
ness. Her affections and faculties
were kept in such pleasant exercise,
that constant lightness Of heart made
her almost handsome. The young
music teacher thought her more than
almost handsome, for her afactionate
soul shone more beamingly on him
than on others; and love makes all
things beautiful.
When the orphan removed to her
pleasant little cottage, on her wedding
day, she threw her arms round the
blessed missionary of sunshine, and
said-"Ah, thou who hast made
my life Fairweather."

Their Growing Crime.

The attempt of the Administration to
pcrpctuatc its power, by blowing with
persistent and malignant utteranCes the
diving embcrs of sectional hate again into
a blaze is denounced by a contemporary
as the last and crowning crime of which
Grant and his supporters have been
guilty. For this criminal purpose they
purchased with public money batch
of secret service archives ofthe Confeder-
acy that after all have only life enough
in them to shoulder feebly and die out.
Boutwell,, who distinguished himself on
the impeachment of Andrew Johnson,
by his now celebrated figure of the
Hole in the Sky'-which was as miser-
able a failure as the dagger episode with
which Burke once amused the House of
Commons-now ClamorS for the con-
tinual existence of the "bloody Chasm
between the North and the South. All
the Radical journalists, those who con-
duct the recognized organs of the party
with the most wary suppression of DANA
ging facts, and CALLING letters, as well az
those who are "lor some inSCrutable
pupo,c, permitted to edit country pa
per" following the cue of the Admins
rltiCn, have revived the old cries Of "re-
bcls" and "tratorS, to characterize the
Southern supporters of Mr.. Greeley, and
as a bugbcar with which to frighten Nor
them voters into the ranks oftheir party.
1t is a pitiablc display ofspite and shame
lcssness. and the worst of it is, for those
who descend to use such weapons, that
they are now powerless. The country
wants peace. a healthy popular instinct
demands once again, after many years
of wcarness and strife, a President of
1.-THE whole country, and not ofa sec
ton, and such election clap-trap falls
on deaf carS-unless they should happen
to be unusually long.
