CHAPTER V.

Nothing is more painful to the
human mind, than, after the feel
ings have been worked up by a
quick succession of events, the dead
calmness of inaction and certainty
which follows, and deprives the
soul both of hone and fear. Justine
died (; she rested and / was left
alive. The blood flowed freely in
my veins, but weight OF despair
and remorse pressed on my heart,
which nothing could remove. Sleep
fed from my eyes, / wandered like
an evil spirit, Tor ] had committed
deeds of mischief beyond descrlp-
ton, horrible, and more, much
more q persuaded myseID, was yet
behind. Yet my heart overdowed
with kindness and love of virtue.

intentions, and thirsted for the mo-
ment when / should put them i'm

to my fellow beings. Now all was
blasted instead of that serenity of
conscience, which allowed me 10

satisfaction, and from thence to
gather promise of new hopes, was
was seized by remorse and the
sense OF guilt, which hurried me
away TO "A hell of intense tortures,
such as no language can describe.
This state of mind preyed upon
my health, which had entirely re-
covered from the first shock it had
sustained. / Stunned the face of
man; all sound of joy and compla-
eency was torture to me; solitude
was my only consolation - deep,
dark, death-like solitude.
My father observed with pain the
alteration perceptible in my dispo-
sition and habits, and endeavored
TO reason with me on the folly of
giving way to immoderate grief.

"that l do not suffer also? No one
could love a child more than /
loved your brother" (tears came
into his eyes as he spOke) "but Is
it not a duty to the survivors, that
we should refrain from augmenting
their unhappiness by an appearance
of iInmoderate grief? 1t Is Also q
duty owed to yourself, for excessive
sorrow prevents improvement or
enjoyment, or even the discharge OF
daily usefulness, without which no
man is fit for society,"" J tT

THE American Register, publish
ed in Washington city, makes the
following reference TO Virginia pol
itics: "rime was when the Old
Dominion bred and sent TO the coun-
ellis of the nation, men who were
neither thieves nor demagogues--
men faithful, true aud courteous
models, at once, OF industry, sagac-
ity and department. Perhaps
like time is coming again, when the
Mahone4 and the Riddelbergers
and their tools and henchmen will
be dismissed to those private sta
tions which they will rather occupy
than ornament, and scholars and
gentlemen like John w. Daniel and
John Goode will Oil and adOrn the
seats which they have disgraced.
1t now looks rs II the day was at
hand when Virginia will assert her
self IN her ancient stature and Dig
nifty. The main cause of the efIer-
vescence which cast n Tabble OF
esentatives to the surface
has been swept away. The recent
Democratic platform drawn, II Is
said, by Mr.. Daniel,) Is one upon
which all elements of the party can
harmonic, and rid the State OF
Mahoneism."

A M0THER'S LOVE.


Some day
When Others braid your thick brown hal
And drape your form in silk and lace;
When others call you "dear'' and '1faiI.b
And hold your hands and kiss your fact
You will not forget that far above
All other is mothers love.
Some day
Mong strangers in far distant lands,
IN your new home beyond the sea,
When at your lips are baby hands,
And children playing at your knee
Oh, then, as at your side they grow,
How l have loved you, you vii! know.
Some day
When you must feel loves heavy loss,
You Will remember other years,
When L, too, was beneath the cross,
And mix my memory with thy tears.
In such dark hours be not afraid;
Within thy shadow have prayed.
Some day,
Your daughters voice, or smile, or eyes,
My face will suddenly recall;
Then you will smile in sweet surprise,
And your soul unto mine Will call,
In that dear unforgotten prayer
Which we at evening used to share.
Some day,
A flower, song, a word may be
a link between us, strong and sweet;
All, tnen, dear child, remember nae
And yet your heart to "mother" beat.
My love is with you everywhere
You cannot get beyond my prayer.
Some day,
At longest it cannot be long,
| shall with glad impatience wait,
Amid the glory and the song,
For you before the Golden Gate.
After earth's parting aiId eafth's pain,
Never to part Never again!

vaughan street sooietv.

The Sunday School connected with this
parish gave concert Sunday evening in their
new chapel and although unannounced in the
daily papers, the house was crowded, chairs
being brought In and placed in the aisles.
With only two weeks notice and preparation
a very pleasing programme was successfully
carried out. The Rotations were noticeable
in calling TO the platform great number OF
very little folks, whose baby eloquence was
perfectly irresistible. The musical talent dis.
played was Of no mean order, duet and trio
being particularly well rendered. In the
midst Of the exercises a little miss entered the
chapel with q large basket Of fragrant cut
flowers which she presented to the pastor, Rev.
ID. w. LeLacheur from the school and while
taken completely by surprise, he fittingly and
feeliDgly responded. Every flower was raised
in homes connected with The society. Two
lads carried the baskets and lifted collection

The Conspiracy Case.

1t will be remembered that at the January
terra of the Superior Court Mrs. Mary L.
Caring, otherwise called Madam Lopez was
tried upon two indictments for keeping a
house of ill-fame, upon both of which she was
convicted. 1t was subsequently ascertained
that the principal witness against her, George
+. Soule, had committed perjury in his testi-
mony and the verdicts were set aside and
County Attorney Coombs entered mol pros
in each case and caused Soule to be arrested
for perjury. Mrs. Caring Immediately CON-
menced suit against Soule and two other
government witnesses for analleged conspiracy
in causing those indictments to be found,
claiming SIS, 900 damages, in which suit she
caused the real estate OF Mrs. Mary j. Frazier,
formerly Mary j. Stafford, to be attached.
The action was entered at the April term OF
the Supreme Judicial Court and notice served
upon defendants that trial would be insisted
upon at the first term. NJ. P. Frank, Esq,
appeared as counsel for the defendants and
fled demurrer to the declaration claiming
that upon the facts alleged the plaintiffs ac-
ton could not be maintained and cited num-
erous authorities to sustain his position.
After hearing Judge Symonds sustained
the demurrer and held that the action could
not be maintained. Mr.. Hadlock, counsel for
Mrs. Caring, has fled exceptions, (which takes
the case TO the Law Court and con sequently
no trial will be had at this term. Soule is now
in Jail awaiting the action of the grand jury
upon the charge of perjury.

SOCIETY OF ART.
The Spring exhibition of Htchinga.

Last evening the members OF the Portland
Society of Art, with their ladies, viewed the
spring exhibition OF etohings displayed under
their auspices by Williams & Everett, of Bog-
ton, and arranged by Mr.. Stringer Of that firm
The collection numbers 100 specimens, of which
fourteen are old masters, and the rest modern
examples of etchers who work from nature.
The Oldest specimen Is that of Sehongauer's
coronation of the Virgin" which dates from
l444. Besides the etehings there are examples
of TYPOGRAPHY, photograveur, mezzotint, wood,
and line engravings.
The exhibitors say the exhibition is not in-
tended to cover tho entire feld of the art, or.
indeed, of any particular department OF It, 1t
has simply been their wish, by careful selee.
tons, to suggest the historical value and artis-
tic Importance which the art has acquired, by
inviting attention to few representative
pieces OF some of the great masters of the past
and few of the most prominent etohers of to-
day. Most of the examples included are proofs,
some of them in very rare and exceptional
states.
Among those Of the old masters which will
quickly attract attention are Durer's ''knight,
Death and the Devil" and 'Melancholia, .
which always have been and are very much
valued and admired, and IA Night Piece" by
Rembrandt. Among the moderu artists there
are the works Of Corot, Fortuns Mariana, Sey-
m ore Haden, Herkomer-whose representative
collection so lately exhibited has given great
pleasure-Jacque, Lalanne, Meryon, Millet.
Tissot, Whistler-the humorous American
while twelve etchers represented eonfne them
selves to interpreting the works of others.
Among the latter is spirited early proof of
the "Spanish Armada" by Law after Briefly.
"The Bath" after Tadema by Rajou. Slo-
combes Chester Prynne" after Boughton, and
Waltner's 'sL'Angelus" after Mllet.
Among the artist etohers, Tissots series rep
resenting The Prodigal Son. from its origi.
nality and able treatment will attract unlyer-
sal attention. So with jacques "Sheepfold,' ?

evening was much delighted. and We have no
doubt the public will seize this opportunity TO
enjoy rare treat. The hours of exhibition
will be from 10 a. M. to 9 p. N. every day until
Saturday night.

The mystery surrounding the whereabouts
Of the relatives Of the late Charles Emerson,
who met his death last fall in Madagascar, is
now apparently solved. 1t Is ascertained al
most beyond doubt that he was o son of Mr..
James Emerson, who formerly lived In Orono
He enlisted from Orono in company X, 10th
Maine regiment, in 1868. After coming out Of
the army at the close Of the war he returned to
Bangor and then went TO California. Mrs
Biglar, a sister Of the late Charles Emerson,
lives ia Carson City, Nevada. In California
he did not prosper and went TO British Column
b!a. He did not have success and went TO the
diamond fields OF South Africa. After reach
ing the latter place Charles wrote his sister
that be was doing we'll, and at one time sent
her diamond that was valued at $780, There
was qnite period during which Mrs. Biqlur
did not hear from her brother and so she wrote
TO some lodge to which her brother belonged,
and received reply saying that her brother
was well and prospecting. Mrs. Biglur has two
brothers living about 100 miles from Carson
City.
There is little doubt but that the Charles
Emerson described above is the one who met
his death in the tragic manner already de-
scribed AS soon as communication can be
had with Mrs. Biglur aud the two brothers, 1t
is thought corroboratng evidence will be Sc
cured which will settle the question beyond
dispute.
