NUMBER 7.

One bright, pleasant day, whils
William Claypole lay crushed and
broken in his dark cell. and while the
people shook their heads in sorrow that
one so young and promising should
meet 50 terrible fate-on such a day
Mary Adams appeared before the jailor
and demanded to see the prisoner who
had been accused of her murder.
The iailor came nigh TO fainting with
superstitious terror but by and by the
applicant succeeded in convincing him
that she was thing of flesh and blood,
like other women, and he adm itted her
to the prison. We need not describe
tho scene that followed the meeting Of
the lovers. In some respect 1t was
sacred. In due time tho custod ians OF
judicial power and authority came to
the prison, whore they liste ned to
new revelation.
Mary was not dead at all The story
which her lover had told was true. On
that night of the quarrel, fearing that
he might 90 some rash thing, and really
desrous, for tho limo, OF getting out of
his way and beyond his knowledge, she
returned secretly to her house where she
made up small bundle of necessary
clothing, and then, unknown to any one,
she crept away, and before morning she
was beyond the possibility OF reach or of
recognition.
Having found q new homo in far
away mountainous region, she had not
seen any newspaper until she had been
several weeks in her new home. She
read the account of her own death, and
the arrest Of hor old lover for her MUIR
der, with astonishment, and now she
had come to set matters right.
As fortune would have it, on the very
day of Miss Adams return, an officer
from an insane asylum appeared in
search of an escaped patient, whom,
after weeks Of labor, no had succeeded
in tracing in that direction. He saw
the garments which had been taken
from the body OF the dead woman and
recognized them at onco as having
belonged 10 his patient.
The initials, IN. A." which had
been supposed to stand for Mary
Adams, were really meant to represent
"Mcrtonborough Asylum" The officer
saw Miss Adams, and declared that il
ho had met her on tho highway or in
crowded public conveyance, hs should
certainly have arrested her. Her re-
semblance to the patient he had sought
was wonderful.
And so tho truth was known at last.
BY fortunate revolution of tho wheel
light came to Mary Adams, and her
rcappearanco upon the scene came with
saving power to William Claypole.
The lovers wont away from the prison
together, aud certainly We have just
grounds for the belief that tho ordeal
through which they had passed had
been sufficient in its terrible experience
to lead and sustain them In tho only
safe and peaceful way of lite-the way
Of trustul love and wise forbearanco.
"Bchold, from this" cries ono, "the
danger of relying upon circumstantiai
evidenced"
But we beg that ones pardon. The
circumstances did not lie; it was the
direct testimony that proved false, as is
very apt to bo the case.

THE COURSE OF EMPIRE WEsTw ARD.
AS the time is near when the usual de-
cennal census OF the United States will
be taken, statisticians and the press be-
gin to discuss the probable result as to
the total population and the relative in
crease in different sections of the country.
Prof. Elliot, who has been connected
with census bureaus, has made some in
teresting circuatons. He concludes
that the population now, or on the first
of this month, could not be far from
48600,0 600. If he be right, the popula
ton, according to the rate of increase, will
be in 1880 not less than 50,0O0,0O0. The
census will doubtless show n great in
crease in the Western States. Out of
the estimated 50QQ0,000 the Western
and Pacific States, exclusive of the
Southern States west of the mountains,
will have, probably, over 1900, ,000.-
The southern, or former slave States,
will have about the same number. This
would leave l6,O00 GOO for the Eastern
and Middle States. And the increase of
growth Of the West over other sections
of the Republic must, from the nature of
things, go on. Already the preponder.
ance ofpoitical power lies there, and the
time is near when it will be overwhelm-
ing. On account of the issues Of the late
war, and the feeling relative to them,
which snot quite eXtinguished, the West,
East and North have acted together po-
litically in great measure; but other
Issues bearing upon the interests Of the
West, and particularly those pertaining
to agriculture, must arise. The West
and the South, having interests mostly
Identical, win act together in political
matters, probably, as soon as the war
issues and the intense sectionalism that
grew out Of them shall be entirely ex.
tingu!rhed. At any rate, it is evident
that the population west of the mountains
must honceiorth be the ruling power of
the United StAtos.-N. y. star.

WHEN you put the end of your fngor
in your ear the roaring noise you hear is
the sound of the circulation in your fin
ger. Winch is fact, as any one can
demonstrate for himself by first putting
his fingers in his ears, and then stopping
them up with any other substance. Try
it, and think what wonder of a machine
your body is, that even the points ofyour
fingers are such busy workshops that
they roar like small Niagara. The
roaring is probably more than the nsise
OF the circulation Of the blood. 1t is the
voice OF all the vital processes together
the tearing down and building up pro-
cess that are always going forward in
every living body, from conception to
death.

THE LOST BABIES.

Como, my wife. put down tho Bible,
Lay your glasses on the book,
Both of us are bent and aged,
Backward, mother let us look.
This is still the same old homestead
Where brought you long ago,
Whom the hair was bright with sunshin
That is now like winters snow.
Let us talk about the babies
As we sit here all alone,
Such Il merry troop of youngsters;
How wo lost them one by one.
Jack, the first Of all the party,
Came to us one wintcr's night.
Jack, you said, should be parson,
Long before he saw tho light.
Do you soc that great cathedral,
Filled, tho transopt and the nave,
Hear the organ grandly peeling
Watch the silken hanging wave;
Soc the priest in robes of Office.
With tho altar at his back
Would you think that giftcd preacher
Could be our own little ack ?
Thon girl with curly trcsses
Used to climb upon my knee,
Like little fairy princess
Ruling at tho age of throe.
With the years there came wedding
How your fond heart swelled with prid
When the lord Of all tho county
Chose your baby for his bride
Watch that stately carriage coming,
And the form roclining there
Would you think that brilliant lady
Could be your own little Glare?
Then the last bluo-oyed youngstcr-
| can hear him prattling now
Such Il strong and sturdy follow,
With his broad and honest brow.
How he used to lovo his mother
All E! | scoyour trembling lip!

Hear tho voice ofstsrn command

Ours so long and ours alone;
What arc we to these great poople,
Stately mon and women grown !
Seldom do wo even SEQ thom;
Yes, bitter toar-drop starts,
As we sit hore in tho fire light,
Lonely hearth and lonely hearts,
And their lives are full without US;
They'll stop long enough ono day
Just to lay us in the church-yard,
Then they'll each go on their way.

A South Carolinian Congressman's
Ideas.

Representative D. Wyatt Aiken,
of South Carolina, is one OF
the frankest, fairest, and ablest
of the Southern men in
Congress. He has long shown
a restiveness at many of the
acts of the Democracy to which he
is attached, and which he is sup.
posed to represent. A short time
since he wrote a letter, which has
just reached here in the Southern
papers, in the course of which he
said:
Looking the field over and ana
lying the incentives that prompt
the action of your Legislatures,
l am lrresistably convinced that if
we wish to live in peace
and prosperity under our own
vine and fig trees at the
South and cement this Union
with cohesion really patriotic and
true the time has come for snew
deal" politically, or, if not yet, is
not far distant. Both the political
parties of this country have out
lived their usefulness and should be
wiped out. The word Republican, "
used in partisan sense, i3 hateful
to every respectable Southerner
who loves the land that gave him
birth. I have reason to know that
the word Democratic" used in a
partisan sense, in no less distasteful
to a majority of the voters of the
North, and they Of the better classes.
Then how can these two discordant
elements assimilate for the public
veal? They can not. I would not
destroy parties. They are necessary

to establish a wholesome public
opinion, but they should never be
allowed to become sectional. A
solid South versus a solid North
simply means a house divided
against itself; and as true as the
book in which it was written will be
the sequence of such division. We
have the "solid South to-day.
The "solid North" will come SO
that it will seem like Tomorrow
when it is passed. My conviction
is, the partisan does not live who
can carry New York as Demo-
crat. Neither will a Democrat
carry Indiana. All else is Repub>
lican. If this result is inevitable,
as I verify believe it is, what alter
native have We? The people have
it in their power to remodel the
structure so unwisely built by their
leaders. The industrial elements
of the country, both North and
South, comprising at least Is per
cent. of the voting population of
the Union, including farmers, me
chanics, and other artisans, should
rally to the rescue of the tottering
fabric, and, in National Convention,

This is a compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chills
and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
remedy the necessities of the people in mala-
flous districts demand. Its great superiority
over any other medicine yet discovered for the
cure of Intermittents is, that it contains no uui-
nine or mineral, and those who take it are free
from danger of quinism or any injurious effects,
ana are as healthy after using it as before. 1t
mas been extensively employed during the last
thirty years in the treatment of these distressing
disorders, and so unvarying has been its success
that <aithas gained the reputation of being infal
lible. - 1t can, therefore, be safely recommended
as sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Ague of the West, and the ChiIls and Fever OF
the South. 1t counteracts the masmatic poison
IN the blood, and frees the system from its infu-
ence, so that fever and ague, shakes or chiIls,
once broken up by it, do not return until . the
disease is again contracted
The great variety of disorders which arise from
the irritation of this poison, such as Neuralgia,
rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blindness,
Toothachc, Earache, CatarrlI, Asthma, Pal
pitation, Splenic Affections, Mysteries, Pain
in the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis, and derange-
of the Stomach, all of which become intermit-
tent or periodical, have no speedier remedy than
AYERS AGUE CURE, which cures them all alike
and protects the system from future attacks As
a preventive, it is of immense service in those
communities where Fever and Aguc prevails, as
it stays the development of the disease if taken
on the first approach of the premonitory symp-
tom J Travellers and temporary residents are
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
will ever suffer if they avail themselves of the
protection this remedy affords.
