The Mystic Order Of Thirteen

At thirteen minutes TO 10 last evening
the Thirteen Club, OF Chicago, induced
IN their thirteenth regular dinner at the
Grand Pacific. There were present fiftv-
two guests, being divided among four
tables, allowing thirteen at each table.
Several invited guests were present, in
Guiding quite a number from other cities
who were attending the annual session of
the National Burial Case Manufacturers
Association, at the Grand Pacific. Each
table was decorated with a large basket
OF flowers placed at either end and
smllax arranged in the form of an end

innocent and the guilty, the weak and the
strong were alike its victims; That Ire
land has its wrongs none will deny, but
the way in which to right her wrongs is
not by outrages upon humanity at large.
Such crimes as those of Cunningham
and Burton and the crimes against life
and property in Ireland, have injured the
just cause of the Irish people throughout
the world The theory that the wrongs
which one people have put upon another,
or one portion of people upon another,
can be rectified by assassination or those
secret societies whose object is TO spread
terror by means of unknown agents, and
thereby create a panic among the more
law-abiding portion OF the community.
This has been the method OF the Social
lists, the Nihilists, and to some extent the
Communards, but in every instance they
have signally failed in their efforts. Rus
sia is no freer from tyranny and oppres-
sion because Hartman succeeded in kill
ing the Gar than she was before his
death. And so it always is and always
has been when such methods have been
resorted to. Charlotte Corday killing
Marat did not lessen the horrors of the
Revolution, although it avenged the
death of a lover. Nor did
the killing of Buckingham by FELTON,
stop the outrages of Charles and his
venal court. The act OF Brutus only has:
tened the time when Rome should fall to
be free no more. Perhaps the motives
of the two miserable men who have just
been condemned to penal servitude for
life, were to benefit their fellow country
men; but such conduct as this only in
lures them. and the sooner their fellow
learn this, the better it will |
De for them. Nor does such conduct as
his meet with universal approval among
he Irish, although every Irishman feels |
hat he has to bear part OF the reproach
which it brings upon them as
people. Nor should the acts of these |
wo dynamiters in any way affect
he legislation OF Parliament on Irish
fairs. Those affairs should receive the
anne consideration and attention as do
he affairs OF England and Scotland,
,hich are treated in accordance with
leir merits, and not in accordance with
ne prejudices Of Parliament. When this
ay shall arrive, there will be no more
'ials OF Irish dynamiters in Old Bailey
anywhere else in England, as there
i'll be no more dynamiters TO try.

CHAPTER VI,

Earle Hayne noticed closely yelled female enter the same coach with himself on the south-bound train from Fort Worth that night, but that was nothing to consider, as in these days of gallantry nothing is thought of a woman travelling alone for hundreds of miles.
 He thought she looked at him, how ever, and when, at last, she seemed about to remove the plain gold ring which adorned one of her delicate fingers, his curiosity was excited.
 They were nearing San Antonio.
 "Who can it be ?" thought he. "She evidently recognizes me-"
 "Shriek! shriek r screamed two loco- motive whistles at once, and in a twink. ling all is darkness, fury and pandemo- niuml Their train had collided with a belated freight, and all was death, wreck and confusion. They were in sight of San Antonio, and messengers soon brought relief
 When morning came and list of the injured was prepared to be telegraphed to different friends, Earle Hayne was re- ported among the dangerously hurt. A woman no longer yelled and silent, but active and sympathetic, attended him, and they were soon whirling along to the south.
 Earle was not so dangerously injured as was at first thought, but severe contu- sions about the head had rendered him unconscious, in which condition he ar rived at home, where he was destined te lie fer weeks, not from his direct injuries but from slow and delirioss fever which seized upon him immediately after his ar- rival.
 "Guess we'll have to shut down the AHshraI Star this week, we've got no copy and MT. Hayne is too badly done up to furnish us," said one of Earle's printers to the other, the morning after his return.
 "Hate to do such thing now," re- turned the other, after she's been sailing six long years without a single stop. Great pity, too, Earle thinks more of his paper than he does of himself, almost. But there's nobody in town that can fill his place. Good morning. madam walk in ]; anything we can do for you? ?"
 Is this Earle Hayue's office ?"
 @Yes, ma'am."

 EVENING SCENES.
BY S. s. DAw ES.

When gently sinks the sun to rest,
 While shedding his departing ray, Soft azure clouds bedeck the west,
 And bid adieu the God of day Then, pensive twilight intervenes,
 And draws its mantle close around; Till night usurps the quiet scenes,
 That wrapp'd in daikness, sleep profound The twinkling stars, soon one by one,
 Lock out from their bright orbs on high, Sparkling in each sphere sun,
 Bright patens wrought by Deity Now drives the Moon her silv'ry car,
 Amid these glitt'ring gems of night; Casting her trem'l 'lous beams afar,
 In dancing beams of crystal light. Her shim'ring paths upon the deep,
 Invite the ravish'd eyes to see; While o'er the landscape shadows creep, In gay fantastic revelry. On wonder clouds that slowly rise,
 A,hwart pale Cyn,ha's shining face, Figures oi uncouth shape and size,
 Delighted fancy there may trace. Can any view these scenes so dear,
 And turn unnov'd away their eye Feel not the watchful presence near, or Heavens Regal Majesyi

 EARLE HAYNE,
BY GEORGE DANIEL.
CHAPTER 1.

Corporal Hayne was numbered among the ten thousand southern soldiers who were E" lost on the field of Shiloh. It was about two o'clock in the evening of that sanguine Sunday, April 6 h, while rush ing along beside his boyhood companion, Felix Holt, and in sight of General John ston and Governor Harris, that he fell, pierced to the death, and only once looked up with poor, compassionate shudder as the former of those famous men re. marked to the latter those faint and fatal words |" fear am mortally wounded"
 Like all his ill-fated comrades, Hayne was soon forgotten save by the few upon whose hearts his memory was especially graven. Among these was his young wife and little son, boy but three years old. They lived on a newly-settled home among the Buffalo mountains of northwest Arkansaw.
 Mrs. Hayne heard of her husbands death two years later. A few months afterward she died of that malady which physicians never conquer-a broken heart. Little Earle had no relatives near, hut was adopted by kind-hearted old noun. taineer who lived some miles from the settlements and who had, on some ac- count, been friend of his father.
 Away from society, away from schools, away from playmates, the little Hayne was taught to trap the catamount and slay the deer, to train the rifle and the angle rod, and, at times, even to read and spell as the whim or pleasure of his gruff old benefactor might dictate.
 At the age of eleven Earle assisted in driving load of produce to Little Rock and carried with him quite saving of peltries, the proceeds ot which, on the advice of his guardian, he resolved to "squander for books. The old gentle man may have augured the result. A lack of other companionship led the un- couth boy to peruse his selections, and for six years he reveled in tales and poems, histories and biographies, while he drank the wild, glorious nectar of old nature among her mountain palaces alone.

"lndeedl How long has he been con- ducting this paper2"
 "He established it nearly six years ago, madam. We were just discussing the probability of stopping it for a week or two-the first thing of the kind since its foundation"
 "Why do you have to do so now5'
 Well, we have no editorial matter from the editor, nor any authority to hire help even if there was a person in the town who could do it. It's a pity, too, madam, for the paper is the very pride of his life"
 "That being the case, will take the responsibility oi paying your men to con- tinue the mechanical work and will edit the paper myself till MT. Hayne re- covers "
 The AHstyaI Star went regularly to its readers during the ensuing six weeks and Earle continued ill-for the most part insensible from the delirium of fever. Every day gentle and loving hands placed flowers about his room and each Thurs day evening, the same hands left copy of the AXs1ral Stdv on his table.
 At last he began to revive, his mental equilibrium was again clear and he asked about his paper. He was told that ii had been managed by Mrs. Redwine who had accompanied him home and was shown the files upon his table.
 Whoever this strange Good Samar- itan . can be-" said Earle to himself when left alone, "she has done up my dear paper nicely and-why, what does this mean2 Here is my fathers gold ring on my 6ngerl Who put it here9 IN. H. Why, what mystery is following me here This is the ring Mamie Holt used to wear. Is it possible that this Mrs. Red wine is my lost, long lost Mamie? An, l see through it now. It was she who puzzled me by her curious looks and whose matchless symmetry so attracted me on the train. And that accounts for the movement to remove the ring from her hand she meant to make me recog nize her. Oh, how loved her once"
 And do you not love me some still, Earle ?" said Nannie's voice behind him.
 "What9 Mamie, Mamie lis this you An, no, no, don't love you, Mamie, can't love another mans wife !"
 " Poor Earle he's only fainting-he'll be better presently. Here, love, rest and youR be better There, I'll kiss you back to life and love-look at me, Earle look poor boy How fair he is! How young and handsome An, he's not dead poor lips, how cold !"

CHAPTER V.


 CHAPTER
 The sudden and mysterious disappear ance of Earle Hayne made talk and con- lecture for Hatchettville for days and months. When Henry Redwine arrived and it become known that he and Miss Holt were to be married so shortly i, might have been guessed that foul play had influenced the matter, had it not been for the fact that Redwine was a con- 6rmed invalid and that Earle Hayne had carried of all his books and papers.
 Mir. Redwine never knew of the rela. tions between his wife and Hayne. One reason was that Hatchettville was no place for gossip, and another was that the noble-minded, but invalid groom did not survive his wedding but few hours.
 Alter the ceremony the newly-wedded couple and few mutual friends started for horseback ride to neighboring hill to take in the scenery which Mir. Redwine proposed to place upon canvass as soon as his health would permit.
 When about to mount his horse the ar tist was seen to turn suddenly pale, and in few moments he was corpse.
 The wife of an hour immediately made arrangements and returned to Georgia to give her husband burial.
 Six months later she was at Hatchett- vile, and save that she became known as Mrs. Redwine, no material change was visible since her departure. The fact that the match between herself and the young artist had been made up while both were almost children, not by themselves, but by the instigation of scheming guardians, was sufficient excuse for the brevity of her mourning.
 Three years passed uneventfully, and Mrs. Redwine announced her determina- ton to travel.
 She did travel. One season she was in Italy and another she was in Canada One month in London, another in New York. Three more summers of her time had thus wound of the skein of existence and she was in Fort Worth, Texas.
 While driving down the street one day she passed a gentleman who looked strangely familiar.
 After he was gone, she imagined that his features resembled those of Earle Hayne.
 The idea haunted her till she returned to her hotel, and there, right in front of her face, stood the long lost Earle. Her first impulse was to rush into his presence and claim old friend ship but she thought how awkward it would look in case he would refuse to re- cognize her, as she remembered their last meeting and the way he had chosen to hide himself from the associations of six years ago. She decided to wait, but not to let him slip her vigilance.
 He presently became engaged in con- versation with newspaper reporter, and she gathered from the run of the talk that Hayne was editing the Ansf,aI Siay in one of the southern counties of Texas, and was to return that evening.

no reasonable excuse, and he didn't try, and ere many minutes was c1joying h;s first tete- a-tete in the garden.
 "Was your father Nathaniel Hayne ?"
 "Yes, his christian name was Ma. thaniel"
 "l thought as much. Now, should allow you to keep this ring. Our parents were plAymates and l have heard my father deplore the death of Nathaniel Hayne more than once. He died almos, at the same moment with General Albert Sidney Johnson. This ring which have been so fortunate as to recover at the ex- pense of some trouble to you, is a present which my father had from Mir Hayne. These initials which made you think it mine, are those of your father and were never intended for mine. scarcely ever wear it in fear of losing it, you see it is rather large; but shall prize it now more highly than ever"
 At this moment Prof. Hill appeared and asked the couple indoors for some music.
 Earle had heard music before, but ncne like this. His nature was naturally impulsive and passionate. His soul sprang out, bounding and exulting with the def, rich strains of the instrument, and when she had finished, nothing but the presence of company kept him from violently demonstrating his reckless emo tions.
 From that day on, it was not strange to see Earle Hayne and Mamie Holt in each others company.
 They talked, walked, read and ram- bled-always happy when together, un- easy when apart.
 The infatuated boy had forgotten him. self entirely. His intentions had been to enter Prot. Hills law class at the next term, but he now found no time to even think of duty.
