Thus left alone by the departure of the
gentleman, the young wife resumed her seat
and fell back in the old train of thought. In
her pre-occupation of mind, she did not once
remember to ring the bell for the delinquent
servant. He came at last of his own accord,
full of apologies for being so tardy, but as he
entered the room concluded the lady had left
not seeing anything of her. On nearer ap-
proach, however, he perceived her in an OBJ
scure corner behind one of the heavy window
curtains, thick veil completely hiding her
face and head. She had apparently fallen
asleep, for her head was bowed against the
window and her breathing heavy. The SER
want could not tell whether it was the same
lady or not, and he was about leaving the
room without disturbing her, when she moved,
and raising her veil, showed him face Of
such deathly pallor as quite startled him.
Excuse me, ma'am," he exclaimed; "but
you are sick. Let me show you to your room
Immediately is ready. As to your note,
ma'am, I will send it over tonight. There is
an officer going back to camp when the per.
formance is over at the theatre, and he will
take charge of it. spoke to him about it.
1 think you said, the gentleman is in the South
Carolina Cavalry?"
Mrs. cambridge looked at him vacantly, as
if bewildered and stupe6ed.
"What did you say?" she murmured, fal-
teringly, from lips whose coral had all vanish
ed. "The note? All !! yes but believe will
not send it. am SICK I shall return home.
At what hour does the southern train leave
tonight" .
"At half past eight, ma'am."
"Then I will leave at that hour. Do not
forget it and now show me to room that l
may rest in the meanwhile"
The servant acted in obedience, and true to
her sudden determination, Mrs. cambridge be-
gan her homeward journey at 81 o'clock that
night. Perhaps, reader, you too, will wonder
as did that servant, why the lady changed her
mind, and why, without seeing her husband,
and before she had time to rest her wearied
body, she should have quilted the Confederate
capital so abruptly. Perhaps, if you are pa
tient, you will solve the enigma.

AN INDIANS REVENGE Richmond
county (Wisconsin) Independent tells a curl.
GUS story, which it asserts as fact, to the fol-
lowing effect: An Indian trapper and hunter
has been operating in one Of the northern
towns of that county, and near his camp lived
a farmer. The Indian had box filled with
rattle.snakes, covered over with glass; Last
August, the Indian came to the farmers house
one day intoxicated, and asked the farmer to
give him certain sheep that he was prepar-
ing for exhibition at the county fair, saying
that he was hungry. This the farmer refused,
but offered him hen if be would shoot it.
The Indian thereupon declared he would
have the sheep, and fired at it, but missed it.
The farmer then set his dog on the Indian and
drove him away. A few nights since, the
farmer was awakened from his sleep by some
thing cold crawling over him, and, selling the
object, he hurled it across the room. He was
Mortified to hear the noise of rattles in every
direction. Telling his wife to lie quiet for
her life, he raised up and turned up the light,
when he saw large rattle-snake coiled up at
the foot of the bed, ready for spring Seiz-
ing his revolver, he fired and shot off its head.
The noise of the pistol aroused the hired man,
who hastened to the room, and before reach
ing it, (the door was open,) killed two rattle
snakes. Two more were killed in the bed
room, making five in all. At the foot of the
bed was the Indians box. 1t is supposed
that he entered the open window and emptied
the snakes out on the bed.

The MEASLES PEDDLER.-George Alfred
Townsend has been gathering legends Of the

lore: "'Twas only about seventy years ago."

Hampton folks undertook to get the better of

measles He was smart as fish-hook, and
measles or no measles, he would 60 to meetin'
next day, being Sunday, in order to let them
know he he'd ariv. Every body knowed him!
The landlord of the tavern where the peddler
stopped sez, Don't you 60 to meetin', man,
with them measles comm out all over you!
Yes WILL sez the man; for,' sez be, trade
is trade, and there is no place like meetin'
to advertise notions. I'll 60 and hear the

you see the landlord told the people, and sez
he, That peddler is all bruk out with the
measles, and he went to church among the
children The young men got right deown
mad, and made it up to whip the peddler;
but he, hearin' tell of the feelin', had gone
over to Southampton. However, they gave
chase, and TUX him up and fetched him back,
and there they ducked him in the horse-pond,
and rid him on rail. Well, meow, what do
think that pesky peddler did? he sued the
town, through lawyer Aaron Burr, and rekiv-
cred one thousand dollars damages. And,
by George! he Civ ninety of them the mea-
sies, and twenty-five died. And trades

RIBLE WIT AND HUMOR.

"Shockingp' many good old saint will
cry at the very thoug ght Of it. "The Bible
iest-book What Goddess folly shall we have
up next:g Ne, the Bible is not jest-book.
But there is wit in it of the first quality; and
a good reason why it should be there. Take
a few specimens: Job, in his thirtieth chapter,
is telling how he scorned the low.lived fellows
who pretend to look down upon him in hs
adversities. They are fools, they belong to
the long-eared fraternity. Anybody with less
wit might come out blunuy and call them
asses but Job puts it more deftly, Xxx, D.
"Among the bushes they brayed; under the
nettles they were gathered together" If that
is not wit, there is no such thing as wit. And
vet the commentators don't see it,. or won't
see it. They are perfectly wooden when they
come to any such CLEAN Of humor. Take an
other instance-Elijah's ridicule of the proph-
cts of Baal. They are clamoring to their
god to help them out Of very awkward pre-
dicament. Ana while they areat it, the proph'
ct shows them up in way that must have
made the people roar with laughter. The
stiff, antiquated style Of our English Bible
tames down his sallies. These quack proph-
cts have worked themselves into perfect des'
peration, and are capering about on the altar
as if they had St. Vitus' dance. The scene,
q Kings, xvii, 26, 27,) wakes up all ElJahs
sense Of the ridiculous. "Shout louder He
is a god, you know. Make him hear! Per.
haps he is chatting with somebody, or he is off
on a hunt, or gone travelling. Or maybe he
is taking nap. Shout away! Wa ke him

their antics on the altar, while Elijah bonn.
bards them in this style at bis leisure. If
Beecher ever said anything that convulsed his
audience more thoroughly than the prophet
must have edone the Jews around him, l should
like to hear it. Paul shows a dry humor
more than once, as in End Cor, xiii, 13:
"Why haven't you Jared as well as the other
churches? Ali there is one grievance-that
you haven't had me to support. Pray do not
lay it up against mep' These instances might
be multiplied from the Old and New Tesla
ment both. What do they show2 That the
Bible is on the whole a humorous bookf Far
from it. That religion is humorous sub
iect-that we are to throw all the wit we can
into the treatment of it? No. But they
show that the sense of the ludicrous is put into
a man by his Maker; that it has its uses, and
that we are not to be ashamed of it, or 10 roll
up our eyes in holy horror at it-G. B. W.

James Freeman Clarke on Boiling

DR.. Clarke's sp eech at the Worcester Con-
vention in which he freely expresses his
views on the subject of boiling the nominal
tons of conventions has attracted great
deal of attention and has ELECTED much com
ment from the press. ''Independent Jour-
nalism," technically so called, after its own
cheerful fashion OF making the facts which it
discusses, has deliberately perverted the Dr's.
remarks into denial of any binding power
in such nominations and halls him as a con-
vert to its own chaotic theories. So far has
this shameless misrepresentation gone that
DR.. Clarke has been compelled in self defense,
to explain his position in letter to the Bos-
ton Globe. Instead of denying the power
OF the convention of party in directing the
votes OF its members, he asserts it in the
most forcible manner Everything of any
consequence in public affairs must be accom-
plished by great combinations of men. and
such combinations can retain conference and
act effectively only by subordination of indi-
vldual preferences in the matter of candi-
dates to the judgment of the majority. The
only method VI expressing such Judgment in
a large community like nation, state or
county is by the action of con-
ventions Of delegates sent together
from all quarters to represent the views of
their respective constituencies, and their ac-
ton is conclusive on all members of the par
ty, provided that there be no fraud in the
constitution and management of the conven-
ton and that support of it do not involve the
sacrifice of a principle or the approval Of a
measure clearly bad. Individual preferences
for men should be strictly subordinated to
the will OF the majority. Members of the
minority should give as loyal adherence to
the result as they would expect of the major
1ty were the positions reversed.
On this ground everybody can join DIR.
