gently, but Intellectually, attempting to free
his hand. Once more he resolved, since the
conversation had taken such turn, to risk
the consequences, and prepare her mind for
separation. But a sudden thought struck
her, and, before he could frame a sentence
she spoke;-
you have heard bad news this morning."
He shook his head.
"No-I know you are not mercenary;
would not wrong you with the suspicion"
What suspicion, pray" he asked, turning
suddenly toward her
You have not hearda"
II have heard nothing"
PITY my foolishness. But my brother is
in difficulty; he may fail; perhaps has failed
even now. Pray, don't chide me for NV
fears. All the world goes with the rich and
the prosperous"
"The world has very little company Just
now, them" said Oakhurst, with grim smile
But assure yourself" he continued; "the
dowry of my wife is matter / have never
considered. With the woman love-" said
he, with deep emphasis, "honeSt poverty is
what l do not dread"
Interpreting this fervent declaration in the
natural way, Irene reached out her arms
with sudden fervor, drew him nearer and
covered his forehead, lips, and cheeks with
kisses. Every kiss fell like a spot of mildew
on his flesh; her caresses filed him with
shame. Could he undeceive her? In her
feeble condition, the excitement into which
she had been thrown by her brothers danger
was all she could bear False as his position
was, heartless and empty as his soothing
words and caresses We're he must continue to
wear the mask, and show himself as he was

to weigh her down. Still she child his gloomy
reserve, his absent air, and mechanical
movements. Was he weak, if under such in
fluences his fixed resolve bentl-if his nerves
felt the old thrilla-if his voice took a softer
tone?-and if he parted from her with some
thing of his former tendernesss He tried to
excuse himself to his conscience by the plea
that the deception once begun must be kept
up until it could be ended with safety, For
he saw that her heart was really bound up
in him. She no longer kept up the brilliant
fence of repartee; she had abandoned all
coquettish arts, and, for once at least, was
sincerely, fondly, even foolishly, in love.
Home he went, sadder than before, his con-
science yet more aroused, and his resolutions
farther than ever from accomplishment

The Power of Renewing their Youth.
The Hudson True Republican.
No other object on earth has such a
power of renewing its youth as the
"mdustries" of the east, Though most
of them are more than one hundred
years old, they are begging aid on the
plea of being Infant industries" and
the man who took up a farm last year
in Dakota has to contribute to their
support.

While Phil Sheridan is admired as a

which is at the head of the armies of
the United States, he is not nor can
not be seriously thought of for Presi-
dent by any candid, careful man. His
whole life has been that Of soldier,
and right honorably has he acquitted
himself The Monroe Sentinel.
While the American people have the
highest regard for Gen Sheridan rs a
man, citizen and soldier, he would
undoubtedly prove weak candidate;
because he would not represent any
fixed principles or definite policy of
government. Such was the case with
Gen. Hancock, and Sheridan has not
as great a reputation for statesman
ship rs had Hancock. 1t is to Gen
Sheridan's credit however, that he
would not make representative can
didate for the presidency, and says
that he would not take the republican

Iinw the AmiI-Salonn Republican Pa
pers Took Their Crow.

The Chicago convention had, accord
ing to the account in last wsciis paper,
abridged from the New York Mail, no
mercy on the anti-saoon Republicans,
but prepared for them a dish of what
the politicians call Grow" There il a
little natural curiosity to learn how il
went down. The Blade, which claims
to bc strong anti-saloon, every week
calls for the pulverizing Of the rum
power, haslened ms soon the dish was
presented, with shut eyes, TO eat the
whole and then tried hard to make the
world believe that it was II grand dish.
How they felt the next week, before the
dish wns thoroughly digested, to find
that the convention, under the lead of
Mr.. Boutwell, of Maine, thoughs that II

to onccm the crow tlavor-make The
innoctnts think that it WAS turkey with

When the newly dressed bird came on

take heart, us if they had genuine tur-

so the question whether whiskey
should be taxed or not there are, in

ground for cnntcnding that the rcgula-

il should have no moral aim in the i'm

publican party had distinctly taken this
ground in its platform, it would, have
better commended itself to temperance
voters; if its speakers take this ground
distinctly in their addresses, they will
do what in them lies to commend lis

DeplorabIe Cordiiion.-The Dow

certainly produced deplorablc results in

legitimate results in all jnhbery legislation.

zcd by the Council one week ago Monday
night, but the date OF the election was left
blank. This hy some hokns pokus was
supplied and July OH inserted, giving no
proper time for fair consideration OF 50

people held meeting at the Court House
um Sunday afternoon and discussed the
question. The claim WAS made that the
majority Of the present Council were tenn
peremcc men, elected IA such, and pledged
10 not repeal the Prohibition ordinance, and
they decided not to vote nj the election on
Monday. The election took place, howev-
er. and as recorded hy lhe Sentinel (Which
must lie taken with grains Of alluwance)
stood 3l3 for repeal Of The ordinance, Ia
lG against repeal, the temperance people
no, voting.
A stormy session Of the Council was held
on Monday evening, when the minutes ol
the previous meeting were read To make II
appear that the date for the election, July
8, was inserted when the ordinance wn'
passed, and an effort made 10 repeal the
ordinance. Mr.. S. l. Bomghton rendered ii'
