Eslue and Gray.

40 mother, what do they mean by blue?
And what do they mean by gray?"
Was heard from the lips of a little child
As she bounded in from play.
The mothers eyes filed up with tears;
She turned to her darling fair,
And smoothed away from the sunny brow
Its treasures of golden hair.
"Why, mothers eyes are blue, my sweet,
And Grandpa's hair is gray,
And the love we bear our darling child
Grows stronger every day,
"But what did they mean?" persisted the
"For saw two eripples to-day,
And one Of them said he fought for the blue
The other he fought for the gray.
snow, he of the blue had lost leg,
The other had but one arm,
Aud both seemed worn and weary, and sad,
Yet their greeting was kind and warm.
They told of battles in days gone by
TIL it made my young blood thrill;
The leg was lost in the Wilderness fight,
And the arm on Malvern Hill.
"They sat on the stone by the farrn-yard gate,
And talked for an hour or more,
Till their eyes grew bright, and their hearts
seemed warm,
With fighting their battles DER.
And parting at last with friendly grasp,
In kindly, brotherly way,
Each called on God to speed the time
Uniting the blue and the gray"
Then the mother thought of other days
Two stqlwart boys from her riven;
How they knelt at her side, and, lisping,
prayed
"Our Father which art in Heaven"
How one wore the gray, and the other the
blue;
How they passed away from sight,
And gone to a land where gray and blue
Are merged in colors Of light.
And she answered her darling with golden
hair,
While her heart vas sadly wrung
With the thoughts awakened in that sad
hour
BY her innocent, praltling tongue:
"Thc blue and the gray are the colors of
God;
They are seen in the sky al even,
And many noble gallant soul
Has found them passports to Heaven" ."

CHAPTER XIV.
THE CoNsEoUENCEs OF SIN.

Miserable to the three most important
persons Of our story, was the night which
followed the events related in our last
chapter
Sleepless, and full Of painful thought to
all of them.
Rosalie's reflections ended in a determi-
nation to fly with her boy, leaving behind
her a letter for Clarence Hartley, which
should tell him how he had been duped,
and how she herself had been tortured
into becoming, as she believed, his
wife.
She would, in short, tell him all the
truth.
But would he credit her revelationp
Would he not believe that she had, in
reality, herself deceived him, as Mistress
Camelford lad 80 long insisted that she
should.
He might credit that she had supposed
her husband dead, but that would not ab-
solve her from duplicity.
AS the widow of mis- friend, the mother Of
Gresham's S son, Hartley would have had
no thought to make her his wife, Rosalie
now well knew, as at the first she had be-
ieyed.
Would not, then, the thoughts Of Hartley
accuse her that she had tricked him into
becoming her husband for the sake only Of
the great wealth which she had known
that he possessed.
lie would look back, and would find am
pie evidence that she had never enter
tanned for him one single spark OF
love.
Would believe she had not even esteemed
him, since she had> made of him her
dupe; had made him wretched and
contemplate in his own eyes; had sarri-
feed herself to him for the wealth Of which
he was the master.
She would tell him Of that letter which
she had written, and which Mistress Camel
ford had suppressed, but would he have
faith in that, since it WAS certain that her
cousin would deny that such letter had
ever existed.
Whether he would think her guilty, or
should believe that she had been more
greatly wronged than he himself, Rosa
lie could not know, and would not pause to
consider.
Her future--her only care henceforth
would be her son, so miraculously restored
to her and she was wildly longing for the
hour of his arrival, that she might fly
with him, far away-beyond the seas,
only ~ SIG nave iiopO ~ 10 'NN>--
with him, to feel assured that he would
not again be wrested from her.
And Gresham, through the long night
had paced his room, lamenting the irrevoca'
BILE past, and striving to shape out that
which would be best for future, which
must be hopeless and joyless.
Should he fly and leave Rosalie still with
Hartley, and with her son to render hel
almost happy
No his friend had been already more
than sufficiently deluded; and Gresham
would neither aid in, nor connive at further
treachery towards him.
',And, besides" reflected Gresham I'll

to him, his former employer.
AS usually, frightfully he lesrod and as
twelve years before upon the road. his
oblique eye seemed as though fixed upon
the bushes by the wayside.
Mistress Camelford beckoned him, and he
hmped after her to a spot where it was cer-

ford, even before Mistress Camelord had

in tones made up of terror and OF hatred

Augusta said, ahudderingly. for she re,nem-
bered the many pangs OF d terrible remorse
which had been hers while believing that
little Arthur WAS no more.
Buriord leered into Mistress CaInelford's s
face, and recognised that there Was no du-
pEcity in the words which she had lust
spoken.
Mistress Camelford thrust a bank-note
into her agents hand, and said to him:

CHAPTER XVI.
THE EFFECTS OF SORROW.

Before witnesses
What terrible words were those for poor
Rosahe.
That fatal letter would then be read be-
fore witnesses, who would be made TO know
her as q bigamist, while she, the wife Of
two living husbands, must sink with shame
before those who would be without pity
for her.
Flight that night would be impossible to
her-the whole household would be astir.
And Hartley ?-How could she remain to
brave his presence when he had learned the
humiliating truth How find courage to
behold his agony-perhaps to listen to his
upbraidings, for it might be that he would
believe that letter mere trick.
Mistress CameHord could not now con-
firm its truth.
But fight for Rosalie before Hartley
should have seen that letter, was now i'm.
possible, and so she must endure the dread
ful ordeal that was awaiting her.
Could Arthur help her! He was ready
for aaght that might be demanded of him
No; he could but pity her, Rosalie said;
and then she asked her son ii he remem-
harea that ah6nv rlsket

Cause Of Southern Poverty.

Col. D. w. Aiken, in the Georgia
Gfange, says:
In 1859 the South pro
duced over five millions Of bales Of
cotton, of four hundred pounds each,
which sold at an average of eleven
cents per pound, realizing less than
$25 100000. The cotton crop of 1873
reached considerably beyond four
millions Of bales, and sold for less
than $I75,OO0000. And this has been
the history Of crops. annually, in the
past; have we any reason to antici-
nate that similar effects will not fol-
low the same course in the future
Then if the all cotton policy, or a
large cotton crop. has actually tended
to impoverish us as a people, who
will assert the same policy will not
have similar effects upon indi-
viduals? * 1t is estimated
that the average increase of fagricultn-
raj wealth of the United States is
about four per cent. per annum. The
average increase of agricultural
wealth in any Southern State annual
ly since the war has not been one per
cent. Indeed some of the States have
travelled the other way, and are now
lost in the wilderness of debt; and
there is no more patent cause for this
condition of things, than that of buy
ing on a credit the necessaries OF lie
to enable them to grow cotton, ano
this, too, very frequently at a cost
that exceeds its market value. There
is an infattation about this cultiya-
ton of cotton that amounts TO a hal.
