Nannie, will you come down from then? !aid Mr, Ray, not seeming to notice the cherries. Yes jrtiess so, now you've come, and ,r bad all the cherries I wanted. And while Mr. llty looked on in stern dNnpprova the 3oung ito:h sruB herseif lijrhtiy down from her peicb, and lit on the srrs at bis feet.

I be tcirs sprtmt into Nannie's eyes at : i-i o;te, aiul sho loosened her arm from his, and dropping down on the emerald UTass at bis feet, began to brai l a bracelet of the lorg blades, in eilenee, with a gricvd rxptessimi around ber sweet uuuib wl.ii h lie did not eee.

They went into the pirlor, and Mr lliy took a seat in a great "ft" chair, while Nannie dung open the window and dropped down on her knoes beside it, letting her jilossy curls fall in a great shower on the windiw-Mil. Now don't do that!' exclaimed Mr lliy, drawing chiir nosr his own. 'Come bore, and sit down like a rat!onl being ' Nannie gave a rufful glance at the stiff bricked chair, but giving her ear's a toss backward, obediently went and sat down. 4I wish you wold pot up those flt.iway curls and dress your hair as other young ladies do. said Mr. U iy. 'And see here, Nannie, I want to have a talk with you r i ou Know 1 love you; our, in tru'n, my dtar, my wife must have something of the eieiiaiiee ot rehned society. a our in hiners need polish, my dear Nannie reddened, and her carlet curied a little, but she said nothing. lip A few weeks in faehionab'e eireles will be a great bent fit to you; and I wish you to have it.

And I wih you to accept the invitation, Nannie. 'Arc you goins;' asked Ninnie. No; my business will not. allow it I'ut I shall see you several times. You will to?' Oh, Lennox, d.m't make me!' sobbed Nannie hiding her f.ice on bis shoulder, as a vicn of his 9 v!ih. hatightv sister rose betors her. 'I don't want to go I bate la-hionab'e socie'x!

The supper bell rnrg at that instant ami, anxious to escape before the rest of the family came in and saw her tears. Nannie hastily answered: 'Yes.

" They were at supper before she came down gin, with smooth curia and no tmcps of tes-rs. but with a bright light in her broatn eyes and a firra look on her pretty mouth; and as 6he went through the ball out to the vine-shaded porch where the tea-table was set, she murmurs ed: Yes, I'll go!

THE UNION. THE CONSTITUTION, .AND THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAWS."

It wis Lennox Uiy's intention toj do hi sister's party in July, hut business prevented When Nannie received the tetter expressing his regrets, bha only smiled, and said to hrstlf: All the Mter! I shall have time to learn my leson more thoroughly by September, Mr Lennox!' It was nearly the middle of September j before Mr. Rty, heated dusty and weary. entered Ins room in the great hotel where bis sister's ptty was stopping. Dear little Nannie!' he said, as he made a careful toilet, before coins down stairs C am dying to see her, and I know she'll be glad to see tne. A moment of her sweet na uraloess will be quite refreshing after all these artificial women. They don't know I've come, so I'll just go down and surprise them. As be entered the parlor, amid a flash of Jewels and rustle of silks and laces, he met his sister Laura. Lennox! You here?' she said, giving him two white bands. 'i'es. Where's Nannie? "She was on the pi ant taling with a French count, a moment ago. Ah! there ehe is by the door. 'A!.! said Lennox, dropping Laura's hand, and tuakiug his way toward the door. But it was diflicult, even when he drew near, to see in the stylish, stately lady, whose hair was put up over a monstrous chignon, and whose lastroui robes swept the fl or for a yard; his own little Nannia of three months ago. Lennox strode up with scarce a glance at the bewhiskered dandy to whom she was chatting, and held out his hand with an eager exclamation: Nannie! Sho .made a sweeping eourtesv, and languidly extended the tips of her fingers; but not a muscle mo-'ed beyond what accorded with well bred indiltW.oee. At ! good evening, Mr. llay.' 0:i, Naunie! are you gld to see tne?' sid Lennox, feeling bis heart chilled wiihiu him. 'On, to be sure, Mr. Ray q lire glad Allow me to present my fried, the Count de Beaurepaire Mr. Uty, monsieur. Lennex hard'y designed a bow to the Frenchman, and uffired his arm to Nannie 'You will walk with tne a little while?' 'Thanks but the music is beginning, and I promisled to dince with Mr. ItUir ' H it afterward?' said Leunox, the chili gr wi ig colder. ; h n'is a in but I am engigid to Mr. I i.ot n ton. Whe-i, the.?' demanded Lennox, with a jolous pang. Ah, rea iy, my card is so full I hardly know I wi I try to spare yon a wabr somewhere, with an indiff.:rnt glance Lennox bent down, and spoke with bitter reproach in his tone: 'Good Heavens, .Nannie! What afTsetatioti is this?' She favored him with a well bred stare. Prdon! I do not understand you ' And taking the arm of her escort, she walked away with the air of an empress. Lennox sought bis sister. 'lj-tura' how have you changed Nannie so?' he demanded: Yes, sht is changed greatly improved. Isn't she perfect?" Perfect? Rather too perfect to suit roe! growled Lennox turning on bis heel with a realizing seoso that he wis coughtin his own trap 'To-morrow, I shall see mote of Nannie,' thought. But to morrow, and to-morrow, and tomorrow, it was always the same; and 'that elegtnt Miss Irving, as they styled her. ws always in deroad, She played the role of an accomplished, ice-berted coquette to perfecionj and poor L-jnnox. from the distance at which sho kept him; looked on almost heart broken, varying between wrath, jealously, pride and despsir. Nannie " said he, one morning, when he found her a moment alone, 'how long is this to lav.?' How lo:' ia what to lat?' asked Nan nie, innocently. 'How long are you going to remain the conventional creature you now are?' I believe you wished me to come here to improve my manners, Mr.llay to acquire the elegance of society?" she said, coldly. B it, Nnnie 'Your sister thinks I have been an apt pupil. Yes too apt, by Heavans!' cried Lennox. Well, if yon are not pleisod with the results of your own advice, I am not to blame. You must exnie ro now. Mr Kiv. I am going to ride with the Count do BiU'epaire And with her sweetest, hollowost mil. she made a graceful gesture of adieu, and left him sick at heart, po2Eled and disgus ted. That same afternoon, as Laura and Nan nie were about dressing for the evening, Lennox walked, unannounced, into Laura's little parlor, where they sat alone. I thought I'd drop in and say good-by before yon went down stairs, said he. I leave for New York to-night. Laura elevated her eyebrows a trifle. Sudden, isu't it? Cut since you arc going, I will give you some commissions 'You needn't. I shall only stay in town a day or so Inneed! Where are you going? 'Oh, I don't know! To the devil, most likely!' was bis savage reply. Laura gave him a look of cool surprise. At least you can take a note to George for me? 'Yes, if you get it ready,' said he, ungraciously. t 'Very well- - I will write it now. went to her own room, and Len nox stood moodily at a window. Presently. Nannie, who had not spoken one word, came and stood neaT him. 'Are you really going away?' she asked. Yes. I am!' was the short answer". And won't you tell us where?'

She slipped her hau l in his arm, with the old. caressing movmet he re mo to be red so well, and spoke gently, using his name for the first time since he cme: 'But Lennox, dear, if you go away off somewhere, what shall I do?' Ha turned, suddenly and caught her' to his heart. 'Oh Nannie! Nannie!' he creid passionttely. If you would come back to roe and love me if I could recover my lost treas ore, 1 would not go anywhere! Oh, my my little, losv love, is it too late?' She Li i her ftco d n a; n-t h'a shoul der and asked soberly: Lennox, dr, tell me which do you love best, the N unie you ued to know, or the fashionable youog lady you fjit.id here?' 'Oh Ntonie darlinal he cried, clasping her closer. 'I wouldu't give one precious toss of your old brown curls fot all the fashionable young ladies in -the world! I wouldn't give one careless ring ofvour laugh for all the polished belles in society! I wouldn't my dirling. I wouldu't!' Nannie laid her arm? up caressingly, about hi neck, and said softly: 'Then I guess you will have to take your own old Nannie back again, and pet and love her as you used to do, for I am as tired and siok of the fashionable young lady as you can be, Lenuox, deail' And Lennox, passionately oiaspiog her to him, begged to bo fjrgiveu, a id vowed he would not exihaoge his preoious wild rose for all the hothouse fijwers in Curistendoiiil' Laura!' Lennox call, tapping oo'Laura's door a Utile later. 'Web?' answered Laura. "You needa't write your note. I shan't gi to New York to night!' 'Leunox! 1 never saw such a fallow to take uouooa!' cried Laura. 'Are eraz!" you No I have been, but I'm coming to my senses uoiv,' said Lenuox. Aud with that he went back t Nuioie. Loaiiox au i N ttitue have bien sedite marrie people for several ye.ir; but I never heard that Lennox complained ui the least of his wife's want of conventionality, or ever wished to pursue the acq1! uutanoe of the ilii in ibie yjd;ig iaiy wao.u ha mn at Newport. "A Glad Welcome." Kx-Govei Yici', oi Noith Carolina, who was a vtry active rebel, aud who, t.o Having professed acquiescence lu the result ol the war, wis therefore eieeted by tho Democrats Senator in Congres, wrote a loner to the fribuuc some time since, in Which ho said itiut euiuiigrauts into his Stale wouii be weteoui.-d gladly, aud would bo as sato as they would bo "auywiiere on eattti." In that loiih, buibolo.e ihe letter of the ex-Govsrnor was writ en, Mr. tl. O. Luce, in the wioter of lSo'J went with some friends aud settled lu Western Nonh Carolina, near Charlotte Tney established iron works, speudiug, of course, a great deal of money, employed uundieds of poor whites aud poorer blacks, opening up uiat kels, aud dotug precisely tual Norm Carotiua ueods to have done They took no mU in politics, aud asked lor no t-lliee, but being seven miles lrom any town or regular cUurch or School, at the request of some of I heir colored labor ers they opened a Sunday school for both bucks und whites. Admiral Wilkes' rich plantation was near by, aud he aud his family were also educating tho people, and built a little church, in which tney invited a clergyman, who had beeu a rebel soldier. Tho colored workmen of the Admiral were attacked and whipped, their school books and Btb.es were burned, and the clergyman was warned to leave or be would bo murdered. Those who know Admiral Wilkes can judge whether be w is iikely to permit anything, that could be cousided unfairly exeuing, and Mr. Luce's veracity is amply a tested. The nailt of tie atteaijt to civiitztlioo was the appearatioe of the Ivu lv.ux, and the consequent terror, seourg. lugs aud burnings. Mr. Luoo hioielt was menaced with mobbing, as inciting coiored men to retaliation; and most ol the Democrats in the neighborhood excusid the crimes as ouly puniehitig those de serving of punishment. At last, of course, Mr. Luce and his frieuis were driveu away, aud one of tho most reasouab'.o and promising tffjrts at setiletuent and iudustiiti dcvL'iopetncnt in one of the late rebut S;ates was violently ended, upon no plea whatever but that the laborers were peaee tuliv instructed in schools where two things were reo sired that the races should not no taught together, aud that politics should be excluded. This barbarism, which is the work of Southern Democrats, and which inditiiiiiely delays real reconstruction, is sustained by the Northern Democratic press, which sueers at tho blu-bllux as a mere bobgob lin, and denies the truth of suju tales a this of Mr. Luoc And whether the fSouthcrn Democracy intends to aeqmsc in equal rights everybody will judge for him self. Harper's Weekly. To Destroy Ants. There are five ways 'laid down in the books,' as follows: Pour coptous'y hot water, as near the boiling Dotut as tio-'sible, down the bur rows and over their hills, aud repeat the operation several times. Katrap tho ants by means of narrow sheets of stiff paper, or strips of boards, covered wi;h some swee, sticky substaoee. The ants are attracted by the sweets, and, sticking fast, can be destroyed as of,eu-as a sufficient number are entrapped. Lay fresh boues around their haunts. They will leave everything else to attack these, and when thus accumulated can be dipped in hot water. Pour two or three spoonfuls of coal oil into their holes, and tney will abaadom the nest. Burv a few slices of onions in their nests, and they will abandon them.

Vallandigliam'S Platform. Of all the treat men livim?. Ihe Hon Clement L. v allandigham with the pos. sible exception of L l. Millikin, of Indi ana, George Francis Train and Ctaflin Woodhull Blood has the slightest posi ble claim to reverence as a leader and doctrinaire of the Democratic party. Least of all can he command respect for the infer-. nal cunning displayed in his attempt at Dayton, yesterday, to swing the-Dsmoera-cy around so as to dislodge the Republican party, and occupy i's position. No Republican looks upon Vallandigham as aayihing el-e than an ingrained, dyed-in-the wool tmi'or to ihe Union, having none of the exeuses of Southern secessionist, and no higher motive than a Catilinish ambition. And now the Democracy well knowing that Vallandigham hates Ropnb lieanistit as he does poison will pronounce him a traitor and would-be assassin, by actually commending the Republican chalice, with a little seductive Dem i. cratie sugar in it. to the Hps of the whole Democraiio crowd. L ng ago the partywearied of bitu as an everlasting millstone about its neck. Now tbe; wish bitu at the bouOui of tbe Red Sa. Thet was much heralding of a "new departure" to be taken a; Dayton yestrrday, and now we have ii, in tbe shape of a pla fonn reported by VhI to a thin conveoiiou of Montgomery Democrats, backed up by him in a short od every way unimportant speech, and nominally adopted as the sentiments of tbe little company ihere present. The deign is to have the dose swallowed by the Democratic State Convention at Colnuitms on the I.-t of June. The drif; of it is. to nocept all tbe substanti.il results of the war and of tbe ten years' R-publiein administration ol the govurnmetit; to make the coming enupdign a personal warfare on Grant; and to go in peii-mell for the spoils. The last is the sweetening for Democratic paia'e. After a considerable amount of wli6rens, and un "agreeing to disagree in all respeets as to tho pasi'' (ruasonahly ntrong oo disagreement, surely), the Yallandighaui platform opens out tho: Secoud That waiving all d;IT.'rences of opinion s to the extraordinary means by-whie.il ihey were brought about, we an-, vept the natural and legitiunite res-ilis ol tho war so fr a waged lor its ostensible purpose to maintain the Union au l iln constitution.! rights and powers of the Federal Government. 'iuoluding the three several ameuoiiietits de f.ioto to tha Constuu.iou recently, declared adapted, as u settlement in fact id' all ihe issues of the war, aud acqniece in tho same as no longer issues bvfore the country. 'Third That thus burying out of sight all that is of the dead past namely, the right of secession, slavely. i tieiju ility before the law and po'itical ineq ulity; and further, now that. reeontrue!ion is couiplote and representation within the Union restored to all the States, waiving all tpes lion as to the means by which it was accomplished, we dema'id that the vita! and loi.g entablihed rule of strict construction, as proclaimed by the Democratic fathers.' accepted by the slaiemeo of alt parties previous to the war, and embodied i-i the Tenth Amendment to tho Constitution, be rig.iro is'ty applied now to the Constitution as it is, mc tiding thtf three recent amend meuts above referred to; and insist that these amendments shall not be held to have in any re-pect altered or modified the original theorv and character of the Fed rah Government as designed and taught by its founders, and respectedly in early times, in later times, and at all times, affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United Stale; but only to have enlarged the powers delegated to it, and to that extent, and no more, to navo anriogea tne reserved rights of the States; and that as thus construed according to these ancient and well established ru'es, the Democratic party pledges itself to the full, faithful and absolute execution and enforcement of the Constitution as it now is, so as to secure equal rights to all persons under it, without distinction of race. c-lor or condition. The rest is mainly ptdding and prunella. To be sure Val. travels hick all over the dead past the seven mile of dead bodies at Gravelotte are as nothiug to this travel ing. figuratively speaking and expre-ses himself about the whole series of defunct issues, on the sly; but that, we suppose, is onlv to nrotnoto the cirrvin g out bf the solemn agreetnet "to disagree in all re speet as to the part." For instance, he declares for Andy Johnson's "policy," in tbe fourth resolution, reaffirm, in diluted form, the resolutions of i)S: wants a j idtcious tariff, and all that sort of thing; i opposed to direct taxitiou on the constitutional basis, but thinks taxes should b 'bised on wealth instead of population; is for a specie basis of currency, say there is no 'necessary or irrepressible conflict between labor and capita!;' and declares his 'cordial sympathy and cooperation with the producr-i and wo k-H;ne:i Orthe untry, who make and move all capital, and who only seek by just and necessary means to protect ibaruselves against the oppressive exactions of capital, ami to ameliorate their condition aud dignify theiroa lir.g.' Ho is opposed to any further continuance of the laud grant system, introduced and so long kept up by tbe Democracy. He is io favor of annexing adjscent territory, but 'totally opposed' to acquiring San Domingo as a "j b;' and accepts the issue tendered by the Presidents last message on that subject, QT submitting tne q- . I 1 tion to the people. 1 hen come manui denunciations ot tho 'llayonet liiii na the 'Ivu Klux Rill, and the lofty strain is closed with the following gentle cadence 'Eighteenth Tbat the Ridical party of 1S71, as now constituted, is not the Republican party of, the the period previous to the war. nor the so-oalied jUnioa party during the war, and is in no respot end. tied to beg the public confidence as snob; that it is now only an 'Administration' or 'Grant psrty.' dating bick to march 4, lSd9, and to be judged by its' record since; and that nnon that record, totally hostile to the doctrines and policies hereto main- . . . - . -j .a:-:-- l :

The address of the Democrats in Congress to thtir party is a singularly feebe and pointless performance. Ii denounces the Admuiistruiiou, of uoui'ao. it denounces the Republicans, of course.

Tho M j tr-General s from Misso'iti, and he does not object to what is there sometime oal'ed a scrimmage. Meantchile the jesting Mr. John Qatuoy Adams looks uu from Massachusetts uu remarks, pleasantly, that the Democratic party had better begin by trying to be Democra ic Indeed, what this Democratic address docs not say is very much more forcible than what it does. Its silence shows conclu-ivety that the I)emocra:ic representatives from every part of tbe country feel that the party does not acquiesce in the settlements of the war, aud that the maintenance of those settlements will be, a the lively General Blair says it ought to bo, the issue of the Presideutial campaign. If these gentlemen thought that the sentiment of their party would justify if, ihey would have asserted without reservation that, there was no intention to reopen the question of rec instruction . To say that they leave the aul ject to their National Convention is f l'y Tbey understand very well the po.itical situation. They would not hesitate to speak if they w re sine of support, and their silence betrsys their coaviciion that the couveutlon will at most avoid a frank declaration. The address, iudeed, begs lelion-eiti-i ns in all parts of the Union uot to violate any right secured by the constitution or bv any of its amendments. Rut it very carefully refrairs lrom saying whether the Fifteenth ready is a valid amendment. And why shouid a D-Juioeratto body ap peal to its friends -ft to violate rights, if it were not conscious that its frieids were somewhere violating rights? Then the gentlemen say and Mr. Fernando Wood hevii the list of repreentati ves that no indignation cm be s'ern enough and no scorn too severe for the assertion that the Democratic party sympathises with the ieprivation of any body's rights under ihe constitution. Rat whether voting is a right of colored citiaena under the constitution, which is Ihe main question, they carefully omit to state. The Democratic party, as such, has uot indeed declared for tho Ku Kiux; but the Ku-Klux is composed of Democrats, and its crimes are pooh poohed and oenied by Democrats; and whenever tltsre is a prospect, of Dem ocratio success tho Iva-tvtux outrages are doubl-d. Indeed, it is not easy to taney a more contemptibly feeble minifetto than that with whih the LJemocratio campaign is opened. (Harper's Weekly.
