THE SHOEMAKER'S DAUGHTER
Yesternight as I sat with an old friend Of mine,
In his library cozily over our wine,
Looking out on the guests in the parlors, said
Of lady whose shoe showed some ripping OF
thread,
''Frank, she looks like ashoemakers daugh-

A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE.

Moncure D. Conway writes from LONDON:
By far the best painting in this exhibition
is by Mr.. E. Long, and is entitled 1.-THE Ba-
bylonian Marriage Market" The ubject
is the custom Of the Dabylonians. mentioned
BY Heroodotus. by which they found hus-
bands for all their young women BY means
of an auction.
The greatest beauty was put up first and
knocked down to the highest bidder; then
the next in the order Of comeliness. and so
on to the damsel who was equidistant be.
tween beauty and plainness, who was given
away gratis Then the least plain was put
up. and knocked down TO the gallant who
would marry her for the least consideration
and so on till even the plainest was got
rid Of to some cynical worthy who decided
| " preferred lucre to looks.
In the centre Of this picture. perched on
high pedestal, beauty is being sold.
The back is turned to the spectator, but the
glory Of the face is seen reflected IN the
thrilled and fascinated expression stamped
ON every face Of the up holding crowd. La
front Of the pedestal, in the foreground o.
the picture, we look upon an array o.
twelve brides waiting to hc sold. The eye
passes from the left to the right, through
every type Of female beauty until tn
shades Of plainness are reached, and these
become more and more marked unit: 1t ias

LITERARY.
A NIGHT OF HORROR.

Prematurely wrinkled face. and my gray
hair. have often been the source Of won
der and question. And while I have al
ways had the inclination to impart knowl-
edge Of facts to the curious, never, until to-
night, have ever had sufficient strength
and courage to tell the story that, even at
this distant time, thrills and fills me with
vague horror and alarm.
About ten years since, had occasion to
60 to Anselmo, little town out west.
1t is. even to this day, disagreeable
and dangerous journey to perform. and
then it was particularly so. But, when
wife recognizes the predominant duty OF
her life to be strict and unquestioning
obedience to her husband. neither rough
fare nor fearful reads can deter her in the
prosecution OF the set purpose Of her soul.
My husband had invested his ready
funds in!a piece Of property i" Anselmo,
and though he was not by any means man
of wealth, he was able to surround me,
generously, with oil the comforts If not
luxurics Of life.
My marriage with him had met with
the extreme opposition of my entire family,
but genuine affection had predominated
over any proposed worldly considera-
lions.
My husband, however, being unpopu-
lar amid the domestic circle, because Of his
financial inability to conform to their uni
versal ideas Of what was requisite in life
of civilization and refinement. determined
to 20 out west, and If he found any induce
ment to settle, he would invest his means
and appvise me in due time how and where
10 join him.
We had one child, the idol Of our hearts
and as I remember the parting now, il
SCENE much more difficult for my husband
to say goodbye to Eddie than to me.
Well, he went away, and tried to b
cheerful and happy. and succeeded.
Every day Eddie displayed new &C
complshment, or an unexpected power, o
an un imagined grace. and | eagerly an

From Late Newfoundland Letter. |
A Gigantic Iclcie.

There is no record of such ice-fields
as have been sliding past onr shores this
season. The sealing captains report the
ice in many instances twenty feet in
thickness, and hard as floating masses
of granite. Had the season been a
stormy one this ice would have played
sad havoc among our feet. From the
9Th of January, when the ice first ap-
peared here, till the 1lth of May it was
never out Of sight-a huge river of ice
slowly floating past. Ships that came
through it reported it to be two hun
dred miles in breadth. It's length is un-
known, tut in all probabilities it extern
ded from Baffin's Bay to the Gulf
Stream, distance of 1,500 or 1000
miles The intense cold of this winter
seems to have converted the whole sur.
face of the sea along Greenland into
ice-iields, and no sooner was one borne
away on the bosom of the Arctic cur
rent than another one was formed. One
would suppose that such an enormous
ice delivery would temporarily lower
the temperature of the Gulf Stream il
self and give US cold summer. Even
at this date vast quantities of ice are
passing south, though not in sight
The first two outward bound mail steam
ers from Liverpool were unable to enter
the port of st. Louis owing to the ice,
and had 10 run on to Halifax; and the
same is true of the two first homeward
bound steamers. The third outward
bound mail steamer, by which this letter
should be conveyed, is overdue, and
may also have passed US by. The sold

son as this.

The SPIRIT Of DEMOCRACY,
Tuesday. June %, 1875.

kS-Thc Presidents home-organ, the
National Republican, takes abundant, al
most supelfuous pains to show that
Grant meant by his recent letter mas
tcr.stroke for his own third term.
'slt is not whether General Grant
shall become candidate for another
term. That question is with the peo-
pie, and in the womb Of the future, to
be solaced in accordance with the
promptings of the popular judgment
when the proper time shall arrive for
its determination. Il may be that the
people will speak on this question with
distinctnes, and power not to be dis
regarded Then NAV arise the 'circum
stances so wisely alluded to hv the
President in his letter on the 'third-tcrm'
proposition. when an imperative sense
of duty will point to an acceptance of
the Presid ncy ior the third time If
the people do rot want General Grant
for alother term they viii not have him,
no matter what his personal aspirations
may be But If it shall appear to be
the popular judgment that his renomin-
alton and re election will best subserve
the public good, then he can decide the
question of acceptance. There is no
sound and legitimate argument that can
be urged against the re election of a
wise and just President for three or
more terms. Experience, allied to a
wise sense Of Justice in administering
public affairs, adds greatly to the use
fulness OF the President of Govern,
ment which comprises more than forty
millions of people. This experience,
held in such relation, is of inestimable
value to the national welfare, and pre-
sents strong reason for continuing in
place one who has shown himself to be
honest and capable beyond question" !"
