FIDELIA'S FORTUNE.

Who that had passed by the Kings
lands fine and brilliantly lighted house
on the evening of Miss Harcourt's fete
conld have imagined that an aching
heart, and the dark and unkind passion
that makes aching hearts, existed within
those dazzling walls9
Light streamed through the windows:
music poured forth delightful strains:
guests were arriving and departing; the
avenue, the grand avenue of the town,
was animated with the concourse: and n
crowl of eager people, encouraged by
the balmy air of the late spring night.
pressed into the shrubbery under the
ballroom windows, and stood gaping
with unfoigned admiration at the fiittine
figures of the dance. -.
ALI the windows of the two 10 YER
stories, besides the wing in which the
ballroom lay, were lighted. Above them
: E1nterveneda dark space; and over the
third story, in one of the small round
windows OF the Mansard roof, faint
light twinkled. An observer noticing IL
would have supposed that some domes-
tic whose duty did not call to- active ser
vice had retired betimes. But mol
The dimly lighted chamber in the roof
held In Its solitude daughter of the
house.
The figure of a young girl, wrapped
carelessly In the folds of coarse gray
dressing robe, was flung at full length
upon narrow bed in an attitude of un-
mlstakable detection. Her face was
buried in the pillow, her hands cIasped
above the flowing hair that reached in
unbraided tresses to the floor. Her
whole frame was agitated by o pitiful
sobbing that could not be controlled.
A step along the uncarpeted passage
and knock at the door had no effect to
arouse the unhappy girl. The knocks
were repeated rapidly and more loudly,
and being unanswered, woman's voice.

called from without: "Fidelia KINGS
land, are you here?"
The girl arose slowly, and rubbing the
tears away from her eyelids with a be-
wildered air, moved listlessly toward the
, door.
"Who is ita-who calls me 2" she
asked, with her hand upon the key.
A friend of your mother" answered
the quick, clear voice.

In reply, but sadly to herself, and turned

FIdelia Kingsland cast one glance, be-
,w,ldered yet imploring, at a picture
hanging above her bed-a portrait that,
forming the sole ornament of the room,
occupied the only perpendicular space
OF walls elsewhere slanted so sharply
as TO make the chamber oppressive, like
cell.

ParsOn Kelly.

Old Parson Kelly's fair young wife Irene
Died when but three months wed,
And no new love has ever come between
His true heart and the dead,
Though now for sixty years the grass has
grown
Upon her grave, and on it's simple stone
The moss
And yellow lchons creep her name aoross.
Outside the door in the warm summer air,
Tho old man sits for hours
The idle wind that stirs his silver hair
Is sweet with Junes first flowers;
But dull his mind, and clouded with the haze
or hfe's last weary, gray November days;
Aud dim
The past and present look alike to him.
The sunny scene around, confused and blurred.
The twitter Of the birds,
Blend in his miud with voices long since
heard
Glad childhoods careless words,
Old hymns and Scripture texts; while indis.
tinct
Yet strong, one thought with all fair things is
linked
The bride
or his lost youth is ever by his side.
By is sweet weight Of snowy blossoms
boughed
The rose. tree branch hangs low,
And III the ,unshine, like fleecy cloud,
SwaYs slowly to and fro.
Oh, is it ~ the old man asks, "Irene :"
Aud smiles, and fancies that her face he's
seen
Beneath
The opening roses of bridal wreath!
Down from tho ganhrel roof a white dove fits.
Tho sunshine Oh it's wings,
Aud lighting close to where the dreamer sits,
vision with it brings-
golden glcam from some long vanished day
- Dear love, he calls; then, "Why will YOU
not stay?"
He sighs,
For, at his voice. the bird looks up and flies.
Oh, constant heart, whose failing thoughts
cling fast
To ono long laid in dust,
Still seeing, turned to thine, as in the past,
Her look Of perfect trusts
Her soft voice hearing in the south winds
breath,
Dream on! Love pure as thine shall outlive
death,
And when -.
The gates unfold, her eyes meet thine again

A child year and half old died in
France recently, which weighed at it's
birth eight pounds, and never weighed
moro than that. For the last year it
weighed only six pounds.

Jenny Kissed Me,

Jenny kissed me when we met,
Jumping from the chair che sat in.
Time, you thief! who love to get
Sweets into your list, put that In.
Say I'm weary, say I'm ead;
Bay that health and wealth have missed mo !;
Say I'm growing old, but add
Jenny kissed me!

FOREIGN NEWS.

London, March 2o.-A telegram from
Paris states that intelligence has been
received there that twelve days armis-
tice between the Turks and Herzego-
vinian chiefs has been concluded and
was to commence yesterday.
London, March 2I,-Four hundred
wind-bound vessels left Mersey yester-
day, including one hundred and ninety
three bound to foreign ports. The spec
tacle was unprecedented. The vessels
formed a procession, sometimes ten
abreast, which occupied two hours in
passing.
Versailles, March 2I.-The floor and
galleries of the Senate chamber were
crowded to-day by members and specta-
tors. Towards the close of the sitting
Victor Hugo read motion proposing
general amnesty for all acts committed
during the reign of the Commune. He
made no speech. There was considera-
Bile tumult among the members of the
Right.
M. Paris, Of the Right, shouted, "Do
you propose amnesty even for the muir
derers of hostages ?"
M. Hugo did not reply.
M. Dafaure proposed that the motion
be declared urgent, which was passed
unanimously.
In the Chamber of Deputies, M, Ras-
pail read motion for general amnesty
similar to that offered by Victor Hugo in
the Senate. M. Paul De Cassagnac said
1--WE wish to know members who COM
pose the pantheon ofassassins. M. Perrin
replied: The assassins of the coup de
tat of some indulgence to assassins of
the commune. Urgency was finally
voted unanimously. The Chamber be-
fore adjournins adopted resolution in
stituting an inquiry into the election of
Compte D. Ayguisvives, formerly Cham
berlain of the Emperor. M. Raspail,
Jr., introduced bill depriving the gov
ernment ofthe right to nominate Mayors.
The committee on amnesty motions will
be appointed to morrow.

JUDGE JEREMIAH s. BLACK.

Many of the Northern States have
Presidential candidates, and therefore
it is perfectly proper that friend Barr, of
the Pittsburgh Post, should have his can
didate, and with becoming consistency
and good judgment he has announced the
name of his distinguished fellow-citizen,
Judge Black, who is eminently qualified
for the highest position in the gift of the
American people. Judge Black stands
at the head of his profession in this
country, and his great ability as a lawyer
is everywhere acknowledged. Honest
and incorruptible, having lived life of
integrity and usefulness, we recognize in
him everything that would make first
class President; consequently we cannot
question the judgment of the Post, in its
choice among the many great men of
the Keystone State, and if Pennsylvania
is to have the candidate, we have no OBJ
lection to Judge Black, and if nominated
will give him our cordial support

The Akron Beacon makes the state
ment that "on the financial question
there are just two parties the resump-
tionists and the infationists." A paper
occupying the proud position of the Bea-
con, should not hazard its reputation for
truth and horesty in this reckless man.
ner. The anti-resumptionists whose name
is legion in the Republican party, are as
much opposed to unnecessary imitation as
the Beacon. All they desire is sufficient
volume of currency to meet the wants of
trade, and no sane man will take excep-
tions to this proposition. We don't know
where the Beacon gets its authority for
such statement. 1t is surely not war
ranted by the facts.-Alliance Remew.
The above may show that the Repubh-
can organs are by no means harmonious
on the currency question. The fact is, a
large majority of the rank and file con-
denim Sherman's Resumption act. The
Repository approves the Sherman sham,
and we presume reflects the views of
Major Mckinley, Where Judge Frease
stands on the question we know not.

The ship Greta, from San Francisco,
arrived at Liverpool, England, last week,
and brought the saved of the ship Great
Britain. Their story shows the perils Of
the deep. In violent storm the Great
Britain became water-logged, and was
abandoned in sinking condition in mid
ocean, after losingI more than half the
crew by drowning and exposure. The
captain and thirteen men took to a boat
and for days foated helplessly about
Their provisions gave out and they suf-
fered terribly from hunger. Three of the
men died and were partly eaten by their
tamished comrades. At last, when in
the last stage of enaciation, they were
found and rescued by the Greta. Horri-
BILE as this story is, it1is full of still more
dreadful suggestion. OF the hundreds of
ships which go to sea and are never more
heard Of howl many crews may have
drifted about in boats, looking vainly for
tine succor that..never came, and so died
miserably. The ocean is large, and

her course by a.gale has but slight chance
Of coming in the way of a passing shin.

well defined tracks, or ocean lanes. and

WHEN 0rville Grant and his partners,
by appointment of President Grant,
through Belknap, got possession of the
post of Standing Rock and other Mis-
souri, river posts on the west of that
stream, and drove out Durfee and Peck,
and the other traders, the latter removed
to the east side of the river and began to
sell goods. This cut down Orville Grants
profits, and he laid the facts before his
brother, the President. Immediately
thereafter the President issued his proc
lamation extending the Sioux reserva-
ton to the east side of the river, thus
destroying all competition with his
brother 0rville. Is there any further
testimony necessary to prove that Grant
is as deep in the mud as Belknap is in
the mireP He should remember his own
aphorism; Let no guilty man escape"

TIE Legislature has been guilty of the
great folly of passing law to reorgan-
ize the Soldiers and Sailors Orphans
Home with the sole object of getting
rid of William P, Kerr as Superintend-
ent of that institution. To the people OF
this county where Mr.. Kerr for more
than twenty years was the successful
head of Granville Female College, it is
unnecessary to say that he has eminent
fitness and qualifications for the execu-
tive chief of such an institution. The
possession of these qualities seem to have
impressed his enemies with the necessity
of distorting some of his acts into such
shape as would furnish a plausible pre-
tence for his removal. To this end, alle-
cations of various kind have been fabri-
Gated; and judging by the exhibitions
made on q well known former occasion.
we suppose there are loyal females in the
service of that institution who would be
able to furnish testimony against any
Superintendent who might be wicked
enough to be Democrat. Justice to Mr..
Kerr should have caused these vixens to
have been dismissed, and protected him
from the injustice of silly distortions and
perversions of his actions. We have rea-
son to know the great personal pride
which Mr.. Kerr has taken in putting the
Home" on better and more success
full footing than it has heretofore occu-
pied. His supercedure will be no loss to
himself, but will be very serious disad-
vantage 10 the State unless his successor
possesses tar more than ordinary adapt
edness to the position.-Newark Aduo-
cate.

BLAINE stated last week in Congress,
with great flourish, that if this Belknap
business had been turned over to the
Radical members of Congress, the Sec
retary would have been impeached and
convicted already. A Democratic mem
ber enquired why past Radical Congress
ses, of which Blaine was leading men,
Der, had not unearthed some of these
glaring frauds. To this there was no
answer.

THE Boston Globe offers its party the
following valuable ADVICE: "The men
who are now in Office must not be per-
mitted, through the advantages which
they hold, to run the conventions and
make nominations. The people must do
this work. The men who are earnest in
their desire to secure reform, and not the
oficeholders, should ruu the party this
