1t was the darkest day she had ev-
er known. She tried to read her BIZ
BILE, but could not fix her thoughts on
it, and closed it in despair. She
listened to the dismal beat of the
slow falling rain, and at times
watched the swaying Of the half.
budding tree branches in the chill
wind. The cherry tree before her
window had been yesterday whiten-
ing into blossom. Surely the cold
wind would kill the tender buds, and
there would be no fruit. How like
her own hopes and, happiness!
Her mother sent for her to come
down to dinner. There was, she
said, no use in staying up stairs in
the cold, and the child would be bet
ter by the FIRE, with some nice warm
soup. In there all the afternoon
Hetty sat, while her father and the
boys went to church-for it had
ceased raining now--and her mother
read "Baxter's Rise and Progress

Some English Ladies.

Country ladies in English homes,
do not stop at carrying out the tradi.
ton of their great-grandmothers in
ordering we'll their own households.
They take great and growing in ter.
est in the economic questions of
modern times relating to sanitary re-
forms and improvements. They
study the doctrine of political econo.
my which may teach them how to
raise the condition Of their tenants,
yet avoid any risk Of pauperizing.-
They plan cottages which shall per-
NIT of decent living and yet bring in
a fair, or approximately fair, return
on outlay. They organize clubs,
reading-rooms, and penny readings,
and encourage the women to come
along with their husbands and sons,
on the principle that even they may
have something they are pleased to
call their minds. They get the lads
and lasses to come Of an evening to
the "big house" and enjoy the benefit
If it be nothing more, of the society
for an hour Of an educated, well.m
nered woman. They have been
known to build music halls in ths
grounds, erect an organ and give the
people periodical concerts. With all
this there is no sacrifice Of the more
highly placed social pleasures andd du.
ties. Nothing Of all the interest we
have enumerated, or others more ex-
tended, interferes with the dinners
to the neighbors on moonlight nights,
or the entertaining Of a house party
Of friends from town.

EDITOR HERALD +:

What could or should be done to
purify and renovate the system now

entitled the 'ioaueus ?" You need
not suppose that the writer of the
above caption is disappointed can
didate fer Congress, nor aspiring
for ofiics-you hear the cry from
the honest people oil over the land
for relief from that scourgs-the
cauous-or ia other words the pc.
litieal cancer of our systsm. What
is Its remedy2 / lately attended a
caucus where it wss sxsmpifed in
its fullest beauty. There were
present as delegates men in whose
eye you could depict tins true man
hood of their character. There
wero also present. msn as delegates
in whose eyes you could depict the
slavery of the caucus, who appar-
entity had lost their Individuality
and every iuatinos Of manhood. Is
ID not my purpose to fad fault with
individuals, be they candidates or
not; il, however, seems passing
strange to see gsntisms an attending
caucus who had bssn honorod by
the people, giving oountenanee to
lawlesaness. 1t wolld seam that
there must be remedy. Numer-
Gus attempts have been made, all 10
no purpose; as long as offices are to
be filled, man viii seek the positions
and the greater the Inducements Of
the Office the greater the scramble.
Ny proposition is, reduos the num-
Der of offices, reduce the emeluments
and fees to level with other modes
of living. Secondly digooun.easnoe
any man who would attempt to aek
pledges, or buy up whole villages or
townships,-mark him as pubic
enemy, lspsr. | have spoken of
smoluments of Office: 1t is not

twelve thousand dollars clear eft all

kind but BY being good fellows, free
with the money the people has
givea them and free in agreeing
with your own toibIos, vanities, pre-

twelve or fifteen candidates for thu
different offices have sought the ia !.
