Novel in a Paragraph.

Some years ago, one fine summer morning a
dozen students were strolling about the gar
dens of the University of Upsala, Sweden.
Among them was poor young man, the son
of a poor widow, gifted and hard working us
"a Bendictine monk, and an unusually rich
Swedish count. Suddenly the presidents
daughter appeared, young girl of exquisite
beauty and great modesty and refinement.
And yet a wild idea all at once dawned on the
brain of the shabby, penniless student.
Count said he, before We leave the gar
den I'll get a kiss from that adorable young
lady - Then you know each other ?" No"
IF you make good your assertion" said the
count, "by the honor of nobleman I'll give
you five hundred pounds" This seemed a
fabulous sum to the impecunious youth and
spurred him on to his only half formed pur-
pose, as he went up to the young lady and sa-
luted her respectfully.
II have often heard my father speak of
your exemplary diligence Master Karl, and
am deeply interested in YOU" said the sweet
young girl, with modesty. II wish l were
able to do anything for you. Can L 7" "Yes,
my dear trOket' (miss) replied the young
Swede, and, stammering and blushing, while
he strove TO subdue the admiration which his
eyes would express, he told what had passed
between himself and the count, at the same
moment begging her pardon with unmistak-
hDlc sluCcIltl. Alter Il hCCOuu luOuBul, tue
young lady quietly approached, kissed the
students cheek and passed into her fathers
house. Bravo" said the count, who had
witnessed the scene. THAT kiss has cost me
a pretty round sum, but don't begrudge the
money. This is on account" and he slipped
a roleau of gold into the students hand. From
that time Karl was the best-dressed MS well as
the most industrious student in the Universi-
ty of Upsala. Every one supposed he had
inherited n little fortune from some relative,
but he kept his own counsel, and would have
been the last one to have betrayed the maiden
ly concession he had received, having also
pledged the count to secrecy.
Iu the mean time he became a constant
guest at the presidents house. He ardently
wooed the presidents daughter and won her
love. The father sanctioned the engagement.
81 have the fullest faith in you, Karl" said
he, "but must confess should like to be salts
fed as to the source of your sudden fortune"
"Your beautiful and honored daughtercR can in
form you, sir" Then the deargrltold the story.
karl, said the old gentleman, with affected
indignation, 'you were an audacious young
ruflian, and as for you, girl" Papa" said
the young lady demurely, II gave him kiss,
but it was a very little one :" Karl is now
happy husband and distinguished philologist
of Sweden.

ment practically nulifed
No one can overstate the evils which the
country must suffer if lawess and violent OPP
! position to the enjoyment of constitutional
! rights is allowed to be permanently success
| full The lawlcssness which to-day assails the
rights Of the colored people will find other
victims tomorrow. This question belongs
! to no race, to no party and to no section. 1t
! is n question in which the whole country is
deeply interested Patriotism, justice, hu-
manity and our material interests all plead
| on the right side of this question. The col
ored people are the laborers who produce the
| cotton which, going abroad to the markets OF
| the world, gives us that favorable balance of
| trade which is now doing SO much for the re-
vival OF business. The whole fabric OF soci-
ETY. rests upon labor. II free laborers suffer
from oppression and injustice they will Ell
| ther become discontented and turbulent, de-
stroyers Of property, and not producers Of
property, or they will abandon the communi-
ties which deprive them of their inalienable
rights. In either case social order ard the
peaceful industries upon which prosperity
depends are imperiled and perhaps sacrificed.
1t will not do to say that this is an affair
which belongs solely to the distant States Of
the South. The whole country must suffer
II luls question Is not speedily settled, ana
settled rightly. Where the two races are nu-
merous prosperity can only exist by the unit
ed and harmonious efforts of both the white
people and the colored people The only
| solid foundations for peace and progress in
such communities are equal and exact justice
to both races. Consider the present situa-
tion. Whatever complaints may have beon
heard during the progress of reconstruction,
candid men must admit that all sections and
all States are now equally regarded, and
share alike the rights, the privileges and the
benefits of the common government. All
that is needed for the permanent pacifcation
of the country is the cordial cooperation of
all well disposed citizens to secure the faith
full observance Of the equal rights amend
ments of the constitution.
Happily, in the very communities where law
lessness has been most general and most sue
cessful, there are editors of newspapers and
other influential citizens who speak out and
denounce these crimes against free govern
ment 1t is plain that a sound public opinion

THE MULE, On. WHERE WAS liE?-Out in
a certain western fort, some time ago, says
the New York Express, the major conceived
the idea that artillery might be used efTec-
lively in fighting the Indians, 10y dispensing
with gun carriages and fastening the cannon
upon the backs Of mules. So he explained
his views to the commandant and it was de-
termined to try the experiment. A howit2er
was selected aud strapped upon an ambulance
mule with the muzzle pointing towards the
tail When they had secured tho gun, and
loaded it with ball cartridge, they led the
calm and stoadfast mule out on the bluff and
set target in the middle of the river TO prac-
tice at. The rear of the mule was turned
towards the target, and he was backed gently
up to the edge of the bluff The officers
stood round in semi-circle, while the ma jor
went up and inserted time-fuse in the vent
of the howitzer. When the fuse was ready
the major lighted it and retired, In min
ute or two the hitherto unrufiled mule heard
the izzing back on his neck, and it made him
uneasy. He reached his head around to as
certain what was going on, and as he did so
his body turned, and the howitZer began to
sweep around the horizon. The mule at last
became excited, and his curiosity became
more and more intense. In u second or two
he was standing with his four legs in bunch,
making six revolutions per minute, and the
howitZer threatening sudden death to every
man within half II mile The commandant
was observed to climb suddenly up tree
officers were seen sliding over the bluff into
the river, as if they didn't care at all about
the high price of uniforms; the adjutant
made good time toward the fort a sergeant
began to throw up breastworks with his bay
onet; the major rolled over the ground and
groancd. In minute or two there was a
puff of smoke and a dull thud, and the mule
oh where was he A solitary brute might
have been seen turning successful back somer-
saults over the bluff only to rest at anchor

and frightening the majors wife into convul-
