Children's Fears.

she was child, were the colors OF the
prism, and thing in itself so beauti.

any imagination could be painfully i'm
pressed by it; but her terror of these
magical colors was such that she used
to rush past the room, even when the
door was closed, where she han seen

the sunlight on the wall.
A bright, clever boy Of Q, by no means
particularly nervous or timid, told me
once that the whole story OF Aladdin
was f-ightfnl to him; but he never
was able to explain why il made this
impression upon him. A very curious
instance OF strong nervous impression.

Of motherh "od. Her face was even
fairer than Of old, blnshing with its
wilt,rose tints of loveliness, her soft
eyes shining up in glad expectation.
The broad sombrero, slouched over his
forehead, shaded his features. She saw
only bronzed cheeks and strong, brown
beard. The tremor in his voice might
have meant diffidence.

ed, awkwardly the little woman thought,
and then let itgo.
"Give me the child"
He took the sleeping boy in his arms,
and so burdened piloted the way to a
carriage close beside the wharf. Put
ting her inside, he laid the child gently,
almost reverently, upon her lap.
We're to drive round and take up
Lumley. 1t is onlya few minutes ride.
One last searching glance from under
the protecting sombrero, and he closed
the carriago-door, mounting to his place
beside the driver.
Oddly enough, Lumley had just fin
ished winning game with Monte Bill
when Lumley's Pardner came hurrielly
in. Az he slipped quietly back to his
post, Lumley sat eyeing the "pile -

up, paused, drew it back, piled up the
cards and began to shuttle for another

oath, or the woman and child he loved,

back all the past. Lumley's Pardner
stopped to his ear:
You'd better throw up the game,
the little mother and your boy are
waiting here outside"
Lumley started-half rose to his feet,
looked up into his partners face, then
at the cards, then at the door, then visit
fully back upon the cards and the gold.
AS with heavy sigh he sunk into his
seat again, Lumley's Pardner, dashing
the cards from his hand, raked up the
stakes and forced the money into Lum-
ley's pocket.
"How long will you keep your wife
and child waiting alone, at night in a
strange city, before the door of gam
bling house?'
The thrust struck home. Like man
awakening from a dream, Lnmley
sprung up, crushed on his hat, and flew
to the door.
Once in the little woman's arms he
was safe. Lumley's Pardner knew him
we'll enough to be sure of that. He
never followed, but slipped out of the
side-door, and the next day saw him
back in camp, a tritie pale and sterner
than was his wont, but the clear gray

SFCRiT HISTORY.


Gor Vance Nnrrats Criom chapter Of
Confederate History,
On the 18th inst. ex Governor Vance.
of North Caroline, delivered an address
at Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs,
Va, before the Southern Historical
Society. The Richmond Dispatch has
n report OF it, from which we extract
the following under the above head
Alluding to the fact that much has
been said about the presence of "an
unruly djsloyal union sentiment in
North Carolina during the war;" and
"the prevalence Of tho unjust impress
sion that North Carolina could be
easily detached from her duty to her
confederates,' Gov. Vance said that
at seemed there were some who pre-.
sumed npon it for important purposes
"Soon after the failure OF the Hampton
Roads conference | was visited by Gov.
Graham, whose death we 80 recently
deplore, who was then n senator of the
confederate states. After giving par
ticulars OF that conference which had
not appeared in the papers, and the
prevailing Impressions Of congressional
circles about Richmond, etc, be in
formed me that a number of leading
gentlemen there, despairing of obtain
ing peace thi ough Mr.. Davis, and be-
lieving the end inevitable and not dis
tant, had requested him TO visit me and
urge me as governor OF North Carolina
20 take steps for making separate terms
with Mr.. lincoln, and thus inaugurate
the conclusion. Gov Graham re.
marked that he had agreed to lay their
request before me without promising to
add his personal advice thereto.
~ asked who these gentlemen were,
and with some reluctance he gave me
their names-chiehy senators and Rep
resentatives in the confederate states
congress. l asked why these gentle
men did not begin negotiations for their
own states with the enemy, and if they
would come out in the papers with this
request to me? He said they would
not take the initiative. They were SO
surrounded at home and so trammeled
by pledges, etc, as to render it impos-
sible. | declined the proposition, of
course, and asked him to say to those
gentlemen, with my compliments, that
in the mountains of North Carolina,
where | was reared, when man was
whipped he had 10 do his own hallooing;
that the technical word enough could |
not be cried by proxy. This secret
piece of history will serve to show that
there WAS faintness of heart and n
shifting together of knees in other parts
of the south outside of North Carolina.
Gov. Vance would have made his speech |
much more interesting by revealing the
names of these confederate senators and
representatives, and whether or not the
list included other officials besides
members of Congress. As it is, his
revelation, without these names, is
something like the play of Hamlet with
that character omitted.

the window, the scrip into the lady's
lap, ierked the strap and jumped out. -
