Expects it's gold without alloy;
But this is still the sober truth:
a little pain can mar much JOY.
'Tis pity that one thwarting thought,
One adverse chance, one sudden fear,
Or sharp regret can turn TO naught
The full content that seemed SO near!
But this strange life of ours aboun,ls
With notes SO subtle, they afford
a thousand discords and harsh sounds
For one harmonious, perfect chord.

til the little thing crept away in tears, to
hide her doubts and terrors in the well
come solitude of her own apartment.
"a cousin of mine degrade herself by
presuming to be in love With mcchanicv,
shrieked Mrs. Western.
And II man, too, who has never even
declared himself" added Victoria.
This was the unkindest cut of all, and
Beatrice believed herself to be not only
low-minded and unrcfincd, bnt unmaid-
cnly also. But for all tilat she was
certain of one thing she loved the major,
or the painter, or whatever he was, and
she could not help herself.
All that day and all the next, the
domestic storm ragged with unsoftcned
vehcmence, and a bout noon, just rs Beat
rice was beginning seriously to contem-
plate the possibility ofpacking her few
dresses into bundle, and running away
TO service, somewhere, the drawing-room
door opened, and Major Chelscy, to see
Miss Moore" was announced.
Beatrice rose with varying color, and
held out one trembling little hand. Mrs.
Western glarcd on the new conner, and
Victoria kept her eyes steadily on the
carpet
GLOW dare you come here, sir?' de-
mandcd the matron, licrccly.
The majors belligcrcnt blood fired up.
"To sec Miss Moore" he said, with cool
audacity, that made Mrs. Westerns cap
trills stand straight out. ).
And what business can you have Will,
Miss Moorc?"
The major glanced at Bcatrice's face

courage.
"Io ask her to marry me ma'am."

out Of your presence at once?"
Beatrice" said the major--it was the
first time the musical Italian name had
ever crossed his lips in addressing her
SIS it yes or no?"
"No" cmphatically intcrposcd Mrs
Western.

light hand fell on his arm Beatrice
had glide,l to his side.
"Yes, Hugh"
What? You are willing to marry a
house. .paintor?"
Il am wiilin" TO marry you"
And then the major, still holding tight
TO the little hand that had fallen on his
arm, quietly explained the circumstances
that had placed him temporarily in so
peculiar light. Mrs. Western flushed
and paled alternately.
q am sure, Majpr, 1 never intended
any oilcncc-I -
"No apologies, Madam" said the ma
.ior, with light infection of sarcasm in
his voice. "As long as am sure of dis
interested love, The opinion Of others is
OF very little consequence to me-"
And Beatrice, in the romance of her
little heart, almost wished that Hugh
Chclscy wasa common housc-paintcr,'
in order that she might prove still more
satisfactorily how very, very dearly she
loved him.

Representative Walls Amnesty and Civil
Rights.

We call attention to the timely
introduction in the House, on Mon
day, by the Hon. Mr.. Walls, the COL
ored Representative in Congress
from Florida, of a bill coupling
therein amnesty as proposed by
President Grant, (Which may now
be regarded an Administration mea-
sure with provisions securing to
the outraged colored man the ad-
vantages and securities contained
in Senator Summers bill supplement
tary to the Civil Rights Bill.
We thank Mr.. Walls for this hap
py suggestion. He deserves the
thanks and support not only of his
colored constituents in Florida, but
of every colored man of the nation;
nor does it stop here; he deserves
consideration at the hands Of every
lover of Justice.
If our worthy President and the
Republican party shall think it
timely and best to grant amnesty
to those that rebeled, let it be so,
but justice calls on them to secure,
at the same time, due respect and
security in civil rights to the colored
man, who has never been q traitor.
This must be the terms Of our assent to
amnesty. The colored people virtu-
ally say, through Mr.. Walls, (who
speaks their sentiments, "We want
to be generous. you must afford to
be just. ."-Neao National Era.

insult their spirit. Suppose that we
had in all public places, in churches
or in halls, coop in a corner for
the Portuguese or the West Indian
foreigner who might stray to our
shores? 1t would be q barbarous
folly. And if it were the native
citizen descended from Portugal or
the West Indies, the folly would be
only the more conspicuous. If it
became q practice, so fragrant an
outrage upon the equality of the
citizen guaran teed by the funda-
mental law should be prohibited
penalties in the common interest.
For the equality that we assert by
law, the law must protect.
That is what Mr.. Summers bill
proposes. 1t forbids distinctions
founded upon a system Of caste
which the law has abolished. It
prohibits, within its sphere, making
an American citizen q pariah be-
cause of his color. It aims to lift
from the colored race as much as
possible Of the consequences of the
curse which civilization has imposed
upon it. If we meant to keep the
people of that race an outcast class,
we had no right to make them
equal citizens. But having made
them so, we can not keep them out
casts without infinite harm to our
selves. However, we need have no
fear of appalling results. The
colored citizens are not obtrusive.
They are not disposed to go where
they are not wanted. But what man
of honor does not burn with in
dignation to see a polite and quiet
colored passenger refused place
in car or steamboat from which
a drunken and disgusting white
traveller is not expelled :? The funda-
mental principle of this republic is
that every citizen shall be equal
before the law. And whoever smiles
at MIR. Summers bill smiles at
the American principle.-Haper's
