sinking at my heart look u: my bare
brown hand.
"The carriage will DO here ut eleven,
Madgie."
1t is my husbands voice, and flush
holly, and try to slip on that mystic cir.
clet again unnoticed. But his sudden ap-
pearance has startled me; the ring falls
from my fingers and rolls away under the
sofa. without word, Humphrey ytoops
and picks it up, and stands silent for a
moment, with my little golden fetter lying
on ais broad palm
Without looking at him, hold out my
hand to take it.
"No; / will put II on" he says in such
a strange sad voice that | suddenly lift my
eyes to his face. "Niadgie," he goes on,
dts an unlucky thing for your wedding
ring to come off,"
81 took it off, I answer holding out my
left hand, and feeling sorry, when see
the pain darkening his eyes. "Humphrey,
did not mean anything, 1t was very fool
ish of me-"
How silly he Is to mind! How gravely
he takes my hand and gently slips the gold.
en- band on my finger, and the diamond
guard above! Then bending his head, he
kisses my hand softly, but says not word !;
and the look Oh his face makes me keep ST..
lence.
Is he angry? cannot determine as l
steal glance at him, and finall y make a
plunge, and desperately start converse
tion
"Humphrey, when are we to start"
"At eleven"
He does not say "dear," "darling," or
even "Madgie," nor look at me when he
speaks. How tiresome men are--always
quarrelling! And perhaps he expects me
to give way first, which is q preposterous
idea! At home, when in the natural course
of events any one of us fell out, we just
fell in again, which was far more conven-
lent plan than apologizing.
Humphrey is standing at the other win.
dow, tall, grim, and silent. The ship with
the white sails has disappeared, the smoke
of the steamer has melted and yet we
neither move nor speak.
look at my watch--a tiny jewelcd toy,
one of Humphreys many presents. 1t is a
quarter to eleven. And then l begin to
think that have been unkind to him, and
that if he has any superstitious ideas about
wedding-rings ought to respect them. I
want to like Humphrey in friendly sort
of way, a fur more comfortable relationship
than love, and perhaps we shall understand
each other in time.
will make some overture; so with my
muslin robe sweeping the floor, step soft
ly to the table and collect his sketch.books
and pencils.
"Humphrey," say.
Swell, Madgie?" And he turns round,
and our eyes meet.
"You are going to SKETCH" I begin TIM
idly; $50 Pm getting the things ready
The cloud leaves his face, and he smiles
smile that lights up his eyes.
"Thank you, dar' /. :, he says, and COM
ing over he lays Doth hands upon my shoul-
ders, stoops and kisses me in silence, and
we made it up, after all, without an eXpla-
notion or apology on either side.
So we start in harmony for the glen, and
by mutual consent keep our conversation
to the present things around US: and when,
in the glowing afternoon, we reach our
lodgings again, look up into my husbahds
face and say with truth
II have enjoyed the day."

IT Is BOUND TO CONE.


1t is almost universal among the
people of Louisiana to oppose any
and every thing that has the SAVIOR Of
newness about it. Is cali made for
subscriptions to build . railroad Of
vital importance. then croakers arise
to oppose its success. and talk about
the poor teamsters who will be thrown
out of employment Is . change
proposed in the school system, then
old fogies rise up and spout how they
learned to read in . spelling book.
and hold out their wonderful inteli-
gence and attsinments as an srgu-
ment in opposition to the new fang
led apparatus used in schools now-a-
days. Are the laws all out Of shape
and it is proposed to modify or
change them SO MS to make them use
full and beneficial, then these same
characters cry out against lavish ex-
penditure of the peoples money. and
are opposed to special sessions Of the
Legislature. to constitutional con ven-
tions, or to any thing else that is cal
culated to inform the people and
better their condition. They make it
. poip to avoid innovations of all
kinds, because it breaks in upon their
hum-drn existence and routine Of
theories, not that they have an eye to
the general welfare. In fact, they
care little or nothing for the public.
just SO they are allowed to dream. out
their natural period Of existence.
True. railroadsP and manufactures
aud good laws well carried out bring
10 their train all the civilizing and
elevating influences that charscterize
those countries possessed Of them,
but what does your crOaking fogy
care Tor all this? *,
The age in which We live is one of
progress and experiment. Men are
expected to know more and do better
than their forefathers, and however
10th ye fogies may be to admit that
anything done in "the good old days
can be imroved upon, still comlnon
sense and reason teach as that it can
be done. 1t not only can be done, but
it sOiH be done. whether We assist or
lag back. Change will follow change.
special sessions of the Legislature will
be called to correct existing evils, and
convention after convention will as
sembie to frame constitutions. until
the people shall be satisfied their laws
are ~ perfect as can be made.

ship Of physical courage is the bane of
this land il has dcgenerated into an
spOthesis of brutality. The man who
is most prone to inf1ict an insult, a
blow, . wound or death upon his uelgh-
Dor, is invariably either the stronger
physically or moro adept In the use of
his weapons. This quick quarrel,
ready resentment and speedy appeal
to violence and ready resort to revolt
vers, infallibly betoken dopraved,
selfish and crual nature, e. far remov-
ed from true courage and honorable
bravery as vice Is from virture. Your
bully is 1T heart coward, and his
deeds of violence are mere bids for
cheap popularity. Stamp out this
treacherous, this cruel, this unman1y
disposition prosecute to the gallows
and to the felon's fate every murderer,
every criminal who has inflicted blows
or wounds upon his fellowman spare
not, regard not who he is or whence he
comes, whether from hall or hut, the
rich, the poor, treat all alike, until .
mans person shall be as safe on your
highways, in your towns or in the fhr
recosses of your f0rests, as in the
peaceful countries of the old world.
It is too much the custom to screen
this brummagem hero who has shed
human blood or trampled on the weak.
If . pig be stolen crowds cry stop the
thief, and he is bounded to conviction;
but for the most desperate and despi-
cable criminal who has heaped indig-
nifty and wrong, or inflicted blows mp
ON some weaker or inoffensive person.
or who has dyed his hands in his fell
lows blood, and brought poverty, sor-
row and despair to the door of some
loving family, there is sympathy and
applause. Shame upon such maulish
sentimcntalityl Let us try to purge
this parish Of all such unhappy and
unfortunate public opinion and immu-
nifty from prosecution and punishment.
