The Building Revival In New
York.

The total number of building permits
issued in New York city for the past
nine months is 1876, and their estima-
ted cost is $17,772,G62 The total for
the same period in 1872 was ,4l3, and
their estimated cost was $22, S55, $40.
The greater cost in 1872 is explained
by the high prices of labor and build
ing materials at that time, whereas now
they are comparatively and really low.
During the five years from 1873 to 1878
inclusive, there was a marked and per
sistent decline in building from which
signs of recovery began to appear last
year, to ba followed this year by the
notable activity the figures indicate for
the past nine months.

4 ErilIisnG Oung couple Eiv"r

A diyorc. case of more than ordinary
interest was concluded in PHILADELPHIA
on Saturday by the judicial separation
Of the parties. About eight years ago
+, y. Brightly, brilliant young law
yer of that city married Emeline, ,daugh-
ter of Col. VIM. B. Mann, well known
as a lawyer and politician. The union
is said to have been a most unhappy
one for all, though he was deeply III
love with her. She is said to have mar
ried him in fit of girlish pique. The
parents of both parties were opposed
to the match, anu at the wedding re-
ception Colonel Mann is said to have
expressed his strong disapprobation to
several guests, while Brightly's father
did not attend the ceremony at all and
never visited his son afterward. The
young couple az first went to honse"
keeping, but after ward lived with Colo.
nel Mann.
During 1876 number Of entertain
ments were given at private houses III
aid of the Centennial Exhibition, anu
| none were more elegant tial lho'o si'
en- at the Mann residence. At one o.
these MIR. Brightly met wealthy
young New Yorker named Gouveneul
Kortwrght, who became very lntlmltt
withthe family Kortwright invited then
to spend the summer at his Newport
villa, and they remained there seVers
weeks. Brightly's suspicious, howeV
er, became aroused by certain CIR
cumstauces, and he brought his wif'
home.
!. is alleged that short time agt
Brightly discovered that his wife was
meeting Kortwrisht secretly through
tue medium of friendly shopkeeper
Brightly at once said he wanted moth.
ing more to do with his wife, and len
her. She commenced proceedings IN 1oi
divorce, alleging cruelty on the part OF
her husband, and Brightly made nc
defense. An absolute divorce from MN
was granted, and it IS believed that
she will shortly marry Kortwrjght.

Letter from Kent Island.
For the Republican.

KENT ISLAND, Md, Oct. Goth, '79.
|, A revival work of unusual power is
being conducted in the NJ. L. chapel.
Up to date "a have professed conversion
and yet the interest wanes not though
we have now entered upon the fifth
week. Last week about score pro-
tes,rd % have entered upon a new life.
For TWO weeks little was done except to
hold under check some roughs OF another
persuasion; but since good order has
been obtained, and the Lord has been
al work. No community has less of the
rowdy element in it than this. Few
belong to this persuasion; and, as the
NJ. 2. church has begun series OF
meetings, it is proposed to divide
their ranks if possible. Without self
respect one has little for others. b.

An Ugly Mans kRXe.

From the Forest News.l
A singular case is to be tried in the
Timer (Georgia) Superior Court next
week. About a year ago q Snowman
was exhibiting a trained monkey in
that county. Among other tricks, the
money had been taught to fire pistol.
The Snowman handed the animal a
pistol and told it to "shoot the ugliest
man in the crowd" Some mischievous
boys had put shot into the pistol, and
wien the monkey picked out his man
and fired, the shot took effect and
eighty wounded the ugly man, who
pulled out his knife, cut the monkeys
throat, and whipped the Snowman
The monkey died next day. The ugly
man is indicted.

Others would tear the flags from the staff
and hide the precious rag in their bosoms
and hold it there. AS Gen Lee rode down
the lines with me and saw the men CRYING
and heard them cheering Uncle Robert with

to me and said, in broken voice: oh,
General, if it had only been my lot to have
fallen in one of our battles, to have given
my life to this cause that we could not save

that he had done all that mortal man could
do, and that every man and woman in the
South would feel this and would make him
feel it. No! nor he said, there will be
many who will blame me. But, General,
| have the consolation of knowing that my
conscience approves what l have done,
and that the army sustains me-
"ln a few hours the army was scattered,
and the men went back to their ruined and
dlsmantled homes, many of them walking
all the way to Georgia and Albania, all OF
them penniless, wornout and well nigh
heart-brolen. Thus passed away Lees
army; thus We're its last battles fought thus
was it surrendered, and thus was the great
American tragedy closed, let us all hope

WITHERED ROSES.
by WILLIAM WINTER.

Not walked by worth,nor married by flaw,
Not won by good, nor lost by ill,
Love is its own and only law,
And lives and dies by its own will.
1t was our fate, and not our sin,
That we should love, and love should win
Not bound by oath, nor stayed by prayer,
Nor held by thirst of strong desire,
Love lives like fragrance in the air,
And dies as breaking waves expire.
Twas death, not falsehood babe us part
The death of love, that broke my heart
Not kind, as dreaming poets think,
Nor merciful, as sages say
Love heeds not where its victims sink,
When once its heart is torn away.
Twas nature, it was not disdain,
That made thee careless of my pain
Not thrallcd by law, nor ruled by right,
Love keeps no audit with the skies;
Its star, that once is quenched in night,
Has set-and never more will rise
My soul is dead, by thee forgot,
And there's no heaven where thou art not
But happy he, though scathed, and lone,
Who sees, aiar, loves fading wings
Whose scared and blighted soul has known
The splendid agony it brings!
No life that is, no life to be,
Can ever take the past from mel
Red roses, bloom for other lives
Your withered leaves alone are mine
Yet, not for all that time survives,
Would your heavenly gift resign
Now cold and dead, once warm and true,
The love that lived and died in you.

Good Takers.


The first requisite of q good talkcr is gen
unc social sympathy. A man may not say
out of some selfish motive, or some motive
oil personal policy, go to! | will become a
good talker. lie must enjoy society, and
have genuine desire to serve and please
we have all seen the talker who talks for his
own purposes, or talks to please himself
lie is the well known tallcr-thc talking
bore. The talker who gets himself up for
show, who plans his conversations for an
evening, and Grams for them, becomes in
tolerable. He lectures; he does converse
for there is no power of n talker so delight
ful rs that of exciting others to talk, and
listening to what his own inspiring and
suggestive utterances have called forth.
Genuine social sympathy and heartydesre
to please others are necessary TO produce
such u talker us this, and no other is tolera-
bic. Social sympathy is a natural gift, and
there is combination of other gifts which
constitute what may be called esprit that are
very essential to a good talller. This COM
bination includes individuality tact, and
wit-the talents, aptitudes, and peculiar
Characteristic charm which enable Il man to
use the materials of conversation in an en-
gaging way, entirely his own; for every
good talker has his own way of saying good
based on his spirit
Yet it is true there are no good takers
who depend upon their natural gifts and
such material as they get in the interchanges
of society. For the materials of CONVERSE
ton we must draw upon knowledge. No
man can be II thoroughly good tal<er who
does not know great deal. Social sympa-
thy and "thc gift of CAB" go but short way
toward producing good conversation, though
we hear great deal of this kind of talk
among the young. Sound and exact lSnowl-
edge is the very basis of good conversation
70 know II great many things well is So
have in hand the best and most reliable ma
tcrials of good conversation There is moth
ing like abundance and cxactness of know
edge with which to furnish u talker Next TO
this, perhaps, is familiarity with polite lit
eraturc. The faculty of quoting from the
best authors is very desirable one
Facts are valuable, and thoughts perhaps
are quite as valuable, especially as they are
more stimulating to the conversation of a
group. The talllcr who deals alone in fact
is quite likely to have the talk all to himself,
while the man who is familiar with thoughts
and ideas, as he has found them embodied
in literature, becomes stimulator Of thought
and conversation in those around him. Fa-
miliarity with knowledge and the products
of literary art cannot be too much insisted
on as the furniture of good conversation.
Beyond this, the good talkcr must be IA
miliar with the current thoughts and events
of his time. There should be no movement
in politics, religion, and society that the
good takcr is not familiar with. Indeed.
the man who undertakes 10 talk at all must
know what is uppermost in mems minds.
