He came home with serious face.
She, who was all love and smiles, saw
in an instant that something was the
matter. He turned his face away when
she attempted to plant the warm kiss OF

within her. 1t was the first time that
he had repulsed her. George" she
said eagerly, "tell me what it is. Has
your love grown cold? Treat me
frankly. 1t is better to know the truth
than to be kept in suspense. T" He kept
his head averted minute, his lip
trembled, then he said: 80, heavens!

"Alln' she repeated, as her face grew
white. "All what?"
"Spare me the sad recital" he con-
tinued. "There are some things that
are better left unsaid."

and at once. Some perjured villain has
abused your mind. "
"Alas, mol" he said. 81 was an eye
witness of it all. Do not add deceit to
your other crimes. 1 was there and
saw it.
"Saw what?" she cried. ''What have
you seen? Are you mad?"
Calm yourself, madame. 1 saw
you-you, the wife of my bosom-when
you did not think my eye was on you.
You were on Broadway, mingling with
the giddy throng. Hewas hurrying on.
You beckoned to him. You made tele-
graphic signs until you attracted his
attention.
"Merciful powers ~ she gasped.
''You see l know all, he continued.
"You did this on the public street. At
first he would have gone on and disre-
garded you, but you were importunate.
You caught his eye, you beckoned. He
smiled, and you went down the thor

Then she sank upon the sofa. Again
he turned his manly head to hide his
emotion. The diamond tears began to
come through her fingers. Helplessness,
Indignation and shame were struggling
together in her soul.
Suddenly she looked up. perhaps,
sir, you will tell me who he is"

was the driver of Madison Avenue

ON The BEACH.

clasped in mine her tender hand,
And side by side, with lettering pace,
And pausing sometimes, face to face,
We wandered slowly on the strand.
We left behind a laughing crowd
We felt no need of company;
Ourselves, our thoughts, the beach, the sea,
The clear blue heavens that DER us bowed,
Made us a perfect solitude
Where all with peace and joy was filled,
Where Earring fears and cares were stilled,
And speech were interruption rude.
So on we wandered, hand in hand,
O'erglad to be to each so near,
So heart-content, so fond and dear,
Alone upon that pleasant strand.
And when our footsteps we retraced,
The comrades we had left behind
Exclaimed: well, what upon your mind,
Old boyl What fancies have you chased
~''While wandering slowly and alone?
You are not wont to stroll away:
What do the wild waves say to-day,
By us unfancied and unknown

Not New to Him.

A group of ladies and gentleman sat
upon the hotel veranda. The subject
of their conversation was bathing, and
right merrily the nimble tongues rat
tied. Miss A. had to tell how dreadfully
frightened she was when she first entered
the surf; Mrs, B. gave her infallible rules
against chills; young Mr.. c, boosted OF
his natatorial exploits, when the Ia
dies gazed upon him admiringly; Miss d.
told for the twentieth time about her
having ''such a time this morning in
in the salt sea waves. and messieurs and
mesdames the remainder of the alpha
bet added each his and her quota to the
edifying conversation. As Fogg, who
sat near the party, had said nothing all
this time, it occurred to one of the
ladies to remark:

"Well, you have now an opportunity

Temperance Reading.
"HOME," SAD "HOME."


John Howard Payne gave to the world
A grand, if not matchless, lay,
In which his pen the joys unfurled
OF his own home while far away.
Home, sweet home" it seemed to him,
Was one of the most blissful things,
And made all else look cold and dim
As he pursued his wanderings.
Would that some pen like Payne's could be
Employed to give, in fitting lay,
A portrait of the misery
Found in some homes of this our day.
The homes referred to are the ones
Made desolate by rum and gin,
As well as vocal by the groans
OF children and sad wives within.
A vivid picture, thus portrayed
In proper cOlors and put up
In places where the drunkard's made,
Would be reflected in each cup.
Such portraiture within the view
OF victims of strong drink might make
Some of these wretches, if but few,
stop short for wives and children's sake.
A semblance of the rags which cling
To drunkard' s offspring might be shown;
But yet there is no living thing
Can bring to view his wifes sad groan.
If Payne had cause to speak of home
WI In the sweet, charming style he used,
What would he say of homes that rum
And poisonous whisky have abused?
'Twould be, we might suppose, in verse
somewhat like that which follows this;
But more expressive, far, of course,
Without syllable amiss:
Home, sad home. once sweet but blighted-
Saddened now at every turn
Aching, too, this heart so sighted,
And of departed hope the urn.
My day dreams, and my dreams by night,
All tinged with sorrow and with gloom.
| Keep me in constant dread and fright,
Only to cease within the tomb.
| Alas my pale-faced sickly child,
Doomed to inherit shame and grief
Your fearful sobs will set me wild
Unless in death find relief
Vendors of rnm, are not the walls
Of widows, made so by strong drink,
Enough to raise and brush the scales
From your dull eyes, and make you think7
Home, sad home! it makes me shed
Bitter and unavailng tears,
And wish myself and children dead,
And has done so for many years.
| Tear down the green but cowardly screens
Set by the doors where rum is Vended:
| Long have they hid the wicked scenes
Which oft in murder vile have ended,
May God forgive the liquor Yender!
For pandemoniums he has made
| or homes once 'sweet''-his heart make tende
Who long on widows peace has preyed!

The Bottom of Lake WinnipiseOgee.

Captain Eugene Sullivan, a sub
marine diver, from Boston, eho recently
made an unsuccessful search for the
body of <. l.. Dunklee, drowned in Lake
Winnipiseo@ee, saw some things of an
interesting characterwhile under water
What is known as Eagle Island, he says,
is really the top of hill, which rises
some one hundred feet from the bottom
of the lake, with just the brow of the
hill protruding from the water. This
hill is very steep, and is covered with
cliffs and lodges, many of which are
from thirty to forty feet high At some
distance from Eagle Island is vast
plain thickly covered with eel-grass and
literally alive with cells of all sizes.
Captain Sullivan also encountered large
shoals of horn-pouts near this plain,
and, in fact, reports fish of all kinds to
be very numerous, and in some cases
very large. The ''finny denizens of the
deep" seemed to take kindly to the
human intruder on their domains, and
swarmed around him in large numbers,
nibbling at his armor and carefully in
speeding every portion of 1.-the rare
curiosity from up above" The diver
also discovered spring of very cold
water bubbling up from the bottom of
the lake, and surrounded with quick
sands, into which he walked and COM
menced sinking, but was promptly
pulled out by his men above when the
proper signal was given. OF course, if
the body of person who has been
drowned should rest on the quicksands
surrounding one of these springs, it
would speedily be engulfed never to
appear again, and perhaps this will
stand for one reason why bodies of
many persons lost in the lake have
never been recovered.

Jim Smith, who was sentenced at
Shelby, Tenn, on July IL, 1874, to
twelve years in the penitentiary at hard
labor, was recently released after serv-
ing nine years and one month, being
allowed two years and eleven months
good time. He worked 1886 days,
and as he is mechanic who is capable
of earning four dollars day on an
average, during all the time he was in
the penitentiary his services were
worth 81, 344. Deducting the cost of
supporting convicts, which is estimated
at eighteen cents day, for nine years
and one month, leaving net gain for
the State of $40, 1864.

Virginia Elections.

A Washington special OF the 26th
inst. to the Enquirer says: Later
returns from the county elections in
Virginia confirm the first impressions
that Mahone's power in the State is
shaken, and that with prudent man
agement the Democrats may regain
the State. The Democrats gain large
ly in counties where negro preponder-
ance has enabled Malone to secure
decisive majorities heretofore. Anne
lin County, which gave the Readjust-
ers last year over tive to one, is now
Democratic. Charlotte County revers-
es majority of over 700. In Dinwid-
die over 500 majority is wiped out
GeOchland County, heretofore for Ma
hone, is captured. In Halifax County
the Democrats carry the County and
gain over 600 votes. In King Will
liam, New Kent, Prince George and
King and Queen Counties the Mahoue
majorities are extinguished. In Nor
folk County, which gave Malone last
Fall 500 majority the Democrats carry
the County by 800. Southampton
County changes from 500 Readjuster
to 500 Democratic. In only one or tu Q
counties does the Malone party make
gain. The figures indicate the Dem
ocrats will secure both bran ches of the
Legislature next Fall. This will check
Mahone's frauds on the ballot box.
The significance of the result arises
from the fact that is the. first election
since the school capitation tax as a
prerequisite to suffrage has been re-
pealed, thus admitting to the poll a
number Of voters previously disquaii-
fled Malone had counted on heavy
gains from these voters. He made as
low bids for negro voters as has ever
been done by any one, and has evil
IDENTIFY disgusted the white voters OF
the State.n

The Right Spirit

After the exciting contest in the
Kentucky Democratic State Conven-
tion, which resulted in the nomination
of Hon. ]. Proctor Knott, his princi-
pal opponent, Col. Thomas l.. Jones,
of Covington, made speech to the
Convention, accepting the result, in
which he said:
eff wrongs have been committed
that may not be corrected ,at least thew
may be regretted 1t requires patience
and philosophy to bear wrong. On the
other hand, it requires courage and
manhood to acknowledge Justice,
though our cause is lost. AS for my
self, make no complaint. If there
be suspicion that l would in the re-
motest contingency deviate one hair
breadth from straightforward march
in the support of my party or its great
principles, let it be at once and forever
dismismissed. 1 would have had it
otherwise, but 1 will yield with all
imaginable satisfaction to what hone
will prove the better judgment. in
conclusion, gentlemen, must return
my most sincere thanks to the gener-
Gus friends who have SO ardently aud
gallantly supported me in this con-
test.n

Mrs. Bishop, wife of Ex-Governor
Bishop, died at Cincinnati on Saturday
night, of pneumonia, in the sixty
sixth year Of her age. She and her
husband had made arrangements for
celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of
their marriage on the 18th of June.
The Enquirer says: Mrs. Bishop
has long been known as one of the
most charitable ladies in the city, and
has for several years been President of
the Board of Directors of the Home of
the Friendless. Outside of her own
denomination-thaC Church of the Dis
ciples, or Campbellits Church, as it is
generally called-she was held in the
highest estimation, as is evinced by
the prayers offered for her recovery
Friday night at the weekly prayer
meeting at the Ninth street Baptist
Church. Though she die, her works
will live after her, and many a poor
unfortunate who has received aid at
her hands will ever bless her name."

Portage County in the state Con.
.y0ntiOn.

Our fellow citizen, D. G. Goldman !,
is being widely suggested as suitable
candidate for Lieutenant Governor,
and his name will be presented TO the
State Convention for that position.
Major Goldman has at all times and
under all circumstances been a faith
full Democrat, and has supported the
party with his best endeavors through
all the trying ordeals which it has
passed during the past twenty-five
years. Portage County has never had
candidate upon the Democratic State
ticket, and has labored steadily for
success without fear or favor, reducing
the Republican majority from 1242 in
1868 to 26O in 1883, by 8 steady and re-
liable yearly gain. The character of
the vote iu this County is largely con-
servative, agriculture being the pre-
dominant occupation. Politicians
readily understand that such show
ing means result of hard work.
Probably no one Democrat among
us has contributed more toward this
result than Mr.. Goldman. He led the
forlorn hope against James A. Garfield
in 1866, and represented this District
as one of the delegates in the Demo
cratic National Conventions of 1865
and 1870. Should the Convention see
| fit to nominate him for Lieutenant
Governor, we assure them that the
position will be worthily bestowed,
and if elected, as he doubtless would
be, the Office will be administered with
credit to himself and his party.
