She turned from the window with curling
lip and flashing eye. "Quite gallant speech
for man who has been accustomed to the
matrimonial yoke already six months" she
retorted, scornfully, "But you may as well

The young man, sitting at the table leis-

"And you mean to tell me that business

compressed eyes and frowning brow. Evi

seemed to have been raging some time. HI
quietly took up his hat and gloves from

If YOU LOVE ME.


lF IUU LUNE ME-.
BY LuELIA CLARK
II you love me tell me not,
Let me read 1t In your thought
Let me feel 1t In the way
That you say me yea and nay.
Let me see It In your eye
When you greet or pass me by;
Let me hear 1t In the tone
Meant for me, and me alone.
II you love me there VIII be
Something alone shall see;
Meet or miss me, stay or go,
IL you love me l shall know.
Something in your tone will tell,
"Dear, love you, love you well"
Something in your eyes viii shine,
Fairer that they look in mine.
In your mein some touch Of grace,
Some swift smile upon your face,
While you speak not will betray
What your lips could scarcely say.
In your speech some silver word,
Tuning into sweet accord
All your bluntness, will reveal,
Unaware, the love you feel.
II you love me, then, pray,
Tell me not, but, day by day,
Jet love silent on me rise,
Like the sun In summer skies.

THE LAST MISSISSIPPI BUTCHERY.

While the sincerely patriotic are in
dulging the anxious hope that the gen
erous and concilatorv policy of the
present Administration may accomplish
all its sanguine friends anticipate from
it, no candid man can read the nara
tive of Mrs. Chisolm, depicting the bru-
tally of the kemper massacre, with
out q natural thrill of Indignation at
the unparalleled atrocity of the latest
Mississippi outrage, Democratic pa
pers may attempt to divert public at
tention from the true character of the
atrocity by pronouncing it the bloody
climax of mere local feud among
neighbors. They may affect to believe
it the result Of purely personal viudic.
tiveness, and treat it as bloody South
ern episode having 10 political signif~
canoe. They may undertake to laugh
it down as another attempt to stir the
Northern heart by last wave of the
bloody shirt, but disguise the truth of
the occurrence as skillfply as they may,
the one bold, disagreeable and obstrur
sive fact remains that Judge Chisolm's
sin was that of being Union Repub-
Iican, for which offense, to Mississippi
Democracy, he paid the penalty of his
life. We challenge the most stoical to
read the story Of brave girls defense

PACKAGES BY MAIL.

Under the "thrd-class mali matter =
regulation, allowing the transmission of
small packages at the rate of one cent
an ounce, the mails have been made
use of to such an extent. as to be very
sensibIy felt by the Express companies
They have at last awakened up to the
fact that this business, even at such low
rates Of tariff, is worth bidding for, and
hereafter the Adams, American, and
Uuited States Express Companies will
carry packages not exceeding four
pounds in weight at the rate Of one cent
per ounce or fraction of an ounce, but
no package will be rated at less than 10
cents, and the valuation of each pack
age will be fixed at not exceeding 81
The matter on which the charge shall
be one cent an ounce, or the fraction Of
an ounce, will be almost identical with
"third-class mail matter" and will in
clude books, bulbs, circulars, (unsealed, J
cuttings, pamphlets, patterns, samples,
seeds, sheet music and in the merchan-
disc list will exclude jewelry, precious
stones, gold and silverware, silks, laces,
millinery goods, liquids in glass, (unless
protected by wood,) explosives, and
packages of matter of extraordinary
value. These packages, Of course can
only be delivered at points to which the
express companies reach, so that the
mail service will still he the one having
the most extensive communication all
over the country. On all packages of
less than ten ounces in weight the mail
will yet be the popular medium Of
transportation, The assumption of
responsibility by the express companies
of one dollar per package is matter of
small moment, for the number of losses
in the mails Of this sort of matter have
been very few and the most of them
have been the result of carelc ssness
upon the part of those sending them,
rather than neglect upon the part Of
post-otlice agents. The public will now
pay its money and take its choice be-
tween the United States mail and the
express companies.

DECORATION DAY.

The return of Decoration Day has
again made apparent the fact, that there
is difference of opinion even among
ex-soldiers as to the propriety of keep
ing up the custom Of strewing the graves
of soldiers with flowers. The ceremony
is one of simple sentimental lofty and
patriotic sentiment, as all will admit,
the cultivation of which tends to inspire
loyalty and love of country in the hearts
of all who witness it but more especially
in youthful minds, upon which the ma
ton must ultimately depend. The brave
men who died fighting for the Republic
gave their lives for the national unity
with a full assurance Of the meaning of
their sacrifice And now that we who
survive them honor their burial-place,
we do it in memory of their patriotic
deeds. We who enjoy the fruits oftheir
conflict cannot soon forget the peril from
which their deadly struggles saved us.
For the vanquished who sleep beneath
the same turf which covers those who
were victorious in death, we have only
tenderness. The war is over; the Union
is preserved; and there must needs be
some pity for the poor fellows Who died
in vain, fighting for cause already
lost. In the great battle of life which
all are fighting, individuals sink into in
significance, and it requires some special
event or occasion to bringa deserving
class into prominence and recognition
This is what Decoration day does and
we heartily sympathize with its cere-
monies. There are things in this life
worth even more than bread and butter.
and poetry and sentiment are frequently
of more actual value than the almighty
dollar, to say nothing of their beneficial
and elevating influence.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1877-06-02

ton, that the reform means nothing
practical, simply because lis success or
failure are conditioned upon the sagac-
ity or business ability Of the Collector
as an inferior officer of the Treasury
Department. 1t is hardly reasonable
to assume that the President would at
tend at the port of New York and super
wise in person the carrying out of his
proposed plans of reform. We see no
disqualification under which Mr.. Ar
thur. the Collector of that port, rests,
so far as the success of the reform is
involved. If the department wants the
reform, it can be accomplished, and we
think it ample time to indulge in fault
findings over methods when we shall
have seen any indication of insincerity
upon the part Of the President, relative
to the reform proposed in New York as
elsewhere. So far as competitive exami-
nations are not recommended as one of
the methods to be adopted, either at
New York or at other ports, we can
congratulate the true friends of civil
service reform upon the Presidents good
sense in ignoring them. If adopted,
they would, as heretofore, prove too
severe a strain upon any experimental
system Of reform in any branch of the
Government service.

of her father and not feel stirred within
him the burning desire for speedy re-
tribnton for such inhuman cruetts.
And Yet Northern Democratic journals
mildly term such displays of partisan
terocitv the wild justice of revenge. =
Commenting on it, a leading journal
eloquently declares that
"Over the body Of this heroic girl
blackened and SCARED by the hands and
weapons of chivalrous Southern gentle
men there ought to be pronoun ced such
discourse as would shame every true man
and woman in Mississippi into unani
nous cry for vengeance against the cow
ardly assaSssins who have added the crown
ing intamy Of warning upon women and
children to a record of rapne and murder
which Louisiana itself can hardly excel"
And yet the Democratic Governor of
that State fears to prosecute the KEN
per county rioters, simply because he
is a candidate for reelection and knows
that, representing party that assas-
sinates itself into power, he necessarily
must consent to its crimes. Missis-
sippi will doubtless revel on in the lux
urv Of - home rule, while justice hangs
her head as she witnesses the desecra-
ton of the temple that liberty has
erected in her name.
