Fanny looked bewitchingly this morning
! All, it / had such dear little wife, how
Id coax her to go into the kitchen occa-
sionally, that might see her at work >


1t soon became apparent that it would
be no fault of Harry's if he did net haze
Fanny for wife. Never was man deep
er in love, ner did he make an effort to
conceal it. Had Fanny been foolish firt,
she would have played With his feelings, as
vain girls will when secure of lover. But
she was too frank and toe good for this,
and only hesitated long enough to be GER
tain OF the state of her own heart, when
she made Harry happy by accepting him.


Two persons more fitted for each other,
In fact could not be. Though always mer-
ry, because always happy, Fanny was ami
able, intelligent and full of sound sense
She had read and thought great deal !;
especially for one SO young, her heart ran
over with 'unwritten poetry Had Harry
sought for lifetime, he could not have
found wife SO companionable and so suit
ed IN every way to him.


What talk the engagement made when
it came out. The naughty Isabel, who,
without being half as capable of sincere
love as Fanny, had made up her mind to
have Harry, and whose vanity, therefore,
was piqued, even degraded herself so much
as to call the bride-elect IAN artful and in
teresting puss.' Other disappointed beau
ties had other hard names for Fanny. But
though when our heroine first heard of
these slanders she shed few tears, she
soon dried her eyes, for, with Harry's love,
nothing could make her long unhappy.


1t was not till the young couple had set
off on their wedding tour, that Harry told
his wife what had first made him fall in
love with her.


Every other girl visited that morning
he said, was playing the fine lady; and
that, while as [ we'll knew, their mothers
were Shaving in the kitchen I reasoned
that the daughter who would neglect her
duty to parent, could scarcely be expect
ed to be less selfish toward husband. Be-
sides, 1t is common error with your sex,
nowadays to suppose that it is debasing
to engage in domestic duties To man
OF sense, dearest, woman never looks more
attractive than at such time

ANOTHER TRAIToR SPURNnD.-The tele-
graph has carried over its wires no more
satisfactory news of the recent elections
than that which announces the defeat of the
traitor Vallandigham, in Ohio. He ha,
been beaten by noble Union soldier, Gen.
Sohenck. by about one thousand ma ioritv.
Valandigham has been one of the most
noisy and violent Of all the traitor clan in
Congress, and permitted no opportunity to
pass by unimprovcd to thwart the Govern
ment and embarrass its measures for the
speedy suppression of the rebellion. lie
was, in fact, the high-priest of treason, and
boasted Of his power to do mischief. But
he has met with repulse from the loyaI
men of Ohio, that will forever settle him
down into disgrace and contempt before
the country. Let us thank God for that
much.

For WHAT PURPOSE Is THE WAR ?-Is
this war on the part of the National Govern
ment, not prosecuted TO enforce the laws under
the Constitution, and to restore the Union as
it was? If so. what treason is there in saving
so? If this is not true, have we any Govern
ment? BY what authority other than the
Constitution can Mr.. Lincoln call out au army
and spend the public money? If this war is
to destroy the Constitution and the Union, are
not the rebels doing as much in that direction
as the abolitionists, and therefore entitled to
the same credit? The war must be prosecu-
ted for the purpose of carrying out the provis-
ions of the Constitution and perpetuating the
Union, or else it is fraud upon our Country
and its Institutions. Whenever a man urges
the prosecution of the war for other purposes
be becomes rebel to his country.

true as gospel. And now, when every one is
convinced that he is covered with guilt, and with
