IT took place early in the afternoon, and
after it was over, Philippa and l walked
home together along the banks of the vet
scarcely awakened little brook. And as we
drew near the farmhouse, she suddenly
turned to me and said-the wind blowing
her fluffy ringlets all about her pretty face
and reddening her cheeks and chin:

with that lock of hair. l dare say it seemed
to you a very foolish thing to do, but he did

shyly at me in a way very unusual to her,
And didn't he tell you true, too

"No-o-o-because-that is, he described a
person as my-my-who has for a long time

That you are engaged to lovely young

''Philippa, that lovely young girl is my
cousin the youngest daughter of nay uncle
John, and she went to England on her we'd

nicer place in all the world than this for

one or two days for confirmation of the
news, he paced the floor for hours at a time,
unable otherwise to control his feelings
While thus YEARLY waiting in the most in
tense excitement Secretary Stanton hur-
riedly entered the executive chamber with
the glad news that a long special telegram
was at that very hour going over the wires to
a New York paper with the details that the
battle had resulted in a decisive victory and
that copy of the dispatch was coming into
the War Department telegraph office as fast
as 1T was being received tuere.
The hour had struck at last On the 22J
OF September, the President hurled his thun-
derbolt against this powerful institution.
before which Presidents and courts, Con-
crosses and parties had Quailed, but whose
rights" under the constitution and Union,
1t had so unwisely jeopardized by its bloody
war against both.
The Confederate government, its Congress
and cabinet its generals and editors, laughed
TINS preliminary proclamation to scorn-
another proof OF the truthfulness of the
ancient axiom: Whom the gods wish to
destroy, they first make mad" They made
merry over its threat that, if the rebellion
dld not cease before the year ended he would
destroy the institution which they had re-
VOTED to establish as the cornerstone
OF their new nation. More davs
and weeks, and months slowly passed
away Reyerses came to the Presidents
POAiViCaA organization III the tdll elections,
from the Atlantic to the Mississippi But
Mr.. Lincoln's purpose was as mistaken as
the eternal hills. The New Years day of
1868 dawned and the Presidents official re-
ception was held How well do remember his
looks on that memorable day. The sad face.

passed; the eyes that seemed to have had IeSs
than their needed sleep, and the frmly-com-
pressed lips He seemed as he often did,
not only to have the woes and trials of our
Nation on his great heart, but to be looking
away down on the vista of future centuries.
Finally, the army and navy officers in
their uniform of war, the foreign ministers
with their decorations, the Supreme Court
and the congressman, had all spoken their
New Years greeting and had gone And
then the thousands of the common
people" for whom he always
had such great regard and sincere
sympathy for he felt he was one of them
and from them passed by him in rapid pro-
cession, many of them wringing his hands in
their hearty greeting. The clock struck 2,
and the reception was over. But the great
work of that day with him had yet to be
done. And it was done.
That evening he said to me and several
other friends whom he had admitted to his
room: Il have done the deed. My sigma
ture looks tremulOus, for three hours hand
shaking don't improve mans chirography.
But my resolution never was more firm"
And then with solemn tone l can never
forget, he added: "The South has had fair
warning. For | told them in September if
they did not return to their allegiance and
cease warning on the Union, | would strike
at this pillar OF their strength. And now
the promise shall be kept; and not one word
OF it will ever recall"

THE GREAT BRIDGE.
Its Local and Human Utility-EGect of Its
Success.

Gaths New York Letter.
The particular utility of this bridge will be
local, and mainly human. II will not figure
as freight bridge. Its railroad tracks are
local to the bridge, and passengers must dis
mount at either end. But the bridge will
always make it easy for persons living in
Brooklyn or in New York to return in any
weather and at any time of the night with
out depending on the ferryboats, which are
often delayed by the fogs, or have collisions.
Sometimes it is a matter of hours to cross
the East river. The bridge will also give
complete connection by land for the pupula-
ton OF New York to go to the shows. 1t
will hasten the consolidation of these
cities, and result in a great metropolitan
district, which may one day call for some diff
ferent kind of government from that of the
State of New York. 1t will promote the
building of anoCher bridge between New
York and Long Island on which will be
rapid transit by steam cars, as across the
Thames in London.
As beautiful monument the most i'm
posing in this land, or perhaps the world, the
bridge will be national possession, Its sue
cess will hush opposition to many useful
enterprise which has been sleeping for a
favorable day in the other cities of the coun-
try. 1t will unquestionably cheaper home
steads, not only for people who live in this
city, but the thousands who are liable
to live here. At the same time
it will only increase the value of
property on the main island OF New York,
and carry out of this city a portion of the
populatinn which is beginning to grumble at
the too decided Determinations between
wealth and poverty here 1t will not imme-
diately produce any sudden changes, but it
will stand as a record of formidable, if not
more fairly honest. work done during and af-
ter the time of the Tweed ring. Possibly
tunnels will be fastened by the success of
this bridge. The relation of this city to the
rest OF the continent is such that anything
that makes life more economical and agreea-
BILE here is incidentally great benefit to the
whole country, The price OF whatever you
receive from New York is insensibly affected
by the difficulties of living here.
