: From the Néw York Evening Post. SONG OF THE PROTECTIONIST. Sing a song of Tariff—prices are so high, Everybody wants to sell and nobody to buy. When our ports are opened we’ll all begin to. - ging : 1 5 For common sense will govern us and cotton s won’t be king. i ! I o Yes, indeed, "pon my word, it is simply absurd, This foolish and fierce agitation, : Which, by fits, now and then, some unprincipled pen, ; Will excite, to embarass our nation, And forlwhut? Just because certain revenue aws, (To which we’ve nd sort of objection), Have kindled « fire of pestilent ire, Which roars—at the name of protection. Then sing fol-de-rol 101, fol-de-rol 10l— Keep our ricketfy engine in motion ! We are proud of each thump of ber wheezy , old pump Drawing toll from the land and the ocean, 1. Sp Rich Dives may growl, and poor Lazarus howl, When they think of the cost of commodities, Which, at quarter the score, on some alien shore Would be viewed as the queerest of oddities, But, while bold Capt. Greeley, so loudly and freely, i s E Forbids us to yield to dejection ; ‘We’ll fling out our banner in orthodox manner,, And sing of the charms of protection. Then sing fol-de rol-101, &c, jin 1L : Sure,-with all the restrictions and weery inflictions, ) ‘Which good Madame Tariff imposes, = With her duties and taxes, we’ll grind up our . oaxes, While the rest may look out.for their noses, Let’s keep everything dear! it will be very queer, If folks do not see the propriety - '; : Of lauding high prices, und saying ‘*‘How nice is This tribute we pay to society !” ] . ~ Then sing fol-de-rol-Tol, &e.

We don’t want the people to climbeup the steeple And see, in the haze of the diatance, How cheap'y and kindly the seed, scattered ‘blindly, | Matures without special assistance. | We don’t want the notion of simple devotion I'o labor, content with its ‘‘penny”’ T To come, forcing its way-(at least not 1n our'day) And deranging the projects of many. : Then sing fol-de-rol-lo], &c. g ¢ : \‘.

But, alas! a prediction of coming affliction Begins 1o intrude on our quiet}, | And, ’ere closes the season, perhaps we’ll have reason, ety ) Te judge 1f our stars will deny it. Then sing fol-de-rol-101, &e, o VI. 1f Congress will on—ly just ‘‘let us alone,” We'll be happy, and strong, and defiant; And we'll laugh at each raid of this host of Free " Trade, With its veteran chief, Mr. Bryant. But, ah me! in that host, men who cling to their Post, . R . (And who don’t lack for courage or-muscle) Are about to unite; and to gird tor the fight, And who knows what will come of the tussle ? - Yet, sing fol-de-rol-101, fol-de-rol-101, Keep our rickety engine in motion ?

" The Gospel in China, ~ The following, taken from the Boston Journal, is very interesting : The contact of the Japanese with Christian people and institutions has been working a gradual change in their regard for Christianity. Prejudices have been giving way, and contempt has yielded to reepect for Christian institutions. Buddhiem, which ' has been the controlling religion. of the empire, has been virtually repudiated during the present year by the government, and an increase of its priesthood' refused, which is regarded, and ‘may well be, as a death-blow to the whole system. [he literature and sciences of Christian lands is taking the place of Confucianism and the Chinese language. The priests and the more ‘intelligent of the people are tossed on a sea of conjecture as to what will be the religious future of the land, and are now studying, as perhaps they never did before, the institutions of the Christian world. As a consequence, there has been a greater.demand than ever for Chinese and Englirh Bibles, and for books and tracts on Christianity. - The high priests of some of the temples have sent to the missionaries for copies of everything that could be, furnished in relation to Christianity. This great field of three and twenty millions is now fairly open to missionary labors, It can now be reached from the United States in a month. The other Protestant nations have left thig field with special reference to its occupancy by American missionaries. ‘The Japanese have taken a special liking to everything American. They ask instructions in the art of peace. They use our school books and appa‘ratus, and send their young men to our schools. and colleges. Wq gre Jappy to learn that nearly twenty of our countrymen are now seeking to diffuse the gospel in Japan, to be followed, we ‘trust, by still. larger numbers, till'amoug the eyangelized millions of that populous and powerfal nation shall be heard the voicé& of grateful exultation, “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation, that saith in Zion, Thy God reigneth.” -

T, Cut off Your Chair Legs. ‘ A writer in ‘an 'eastern ‘paper gives the following advice : ‘“l'will gell you a secret'worth knowing. . A thousand things not worth halt as' much bave been pagénted and elevated into business, It is this: If yon cut the back legs ofthe chair, so that the-seat will be two' inches ‘lower than'the front part,it will greatly relieve the fatigue of sitting and keep the spine in a much better shape. The principal fati%ue' in sitting comes from our sliding forward and thus straining the ligaments and museles in the small of the back. The expedients T have' advised will obviate this tendency, and, as I have suggested, add greatly to the comfort and healthiness of the sittins 08ture, Theé front edge of the’ c..gair should not be more than fifteen incheés for women. 'The average chair is now seventeen inches for all, which hno ‘amount of _.'g‘latiﬁn‘g of the seat can make comfortable.” ATE S 774 ,111_4__‘._“»—“ ' Two Tliitle girls were heard one ‘moruipg ‘engaged in dispute as to what their mothers could ‘do.

A WESTERN PARADISE. The climate of Arizona in winter is finer than that of Italy. It wou'd scarcely be possible to suggest an improvement. I never experienced such exquisite Christmas weather as we enjoyed during our sojourn. PerhaEs fastidious pecple would object to the. temperature in sumer, the rays of the sun attain their maximum force, and the hot winds sweep in from the desert. : It is said that a wicked soldier died here, and was eonsigned to the fiery regions below for his manifokd sins ; bat, unable to stand the rigors of his climate, he sent for his blankets. I have even heard complaint that the thermometer failed to show the true heat, because the mercury dried up. Everything dries up—wagons dry, men dry, chickens dry ; there is no juiceleft in anything, living or.dead, by the close of summer. Officers and men are supposed to walk about creaking ; males, it is paid, can only bray at midnight; and I have heard it hinted that the carcases of cattle rattle ingide of their hides, and that snakes find a difficulty in bending their bodies, and. horned frogs die of apoplexy. Chickens hatched at this seagon, as old Fort Yumers say, come out of their shells ready cooked ; bacon is eaten with a spoon butter must stand an hour in the.sun before the flies become ready for use.

The Indians sit in the river with fresh mud on their heads, and by dint of constant dipping and sprinkling, manage to keep from roasting, though they usually. come out par-boiled.— Strangers coming suddenly upon a group equatted in water up to their necks, with heir mud-covered heads glistening in the sun, frequently mistake them for seals. Their usual mode of traveling down the river, is astride of a log, their heads only being visible. It is enough to make a man stare with amazement to see a group of mudballs floating on the current on a hot day, laughing and talking to each other as if it-were the finest fun in the ‘world. . I have never tried this mode of locomotion, but have an idea it must Be delightful in such a glowing summer climate.—J. Ross Browne, . i} B—— Curiosities of the Earth, At the city of Medina, in Italy, and aboug four miles around it, wherever the earth iz dug, when the workmen arrive at a distance of sixty-three feet, they come to a bed of chalk, which they bore with an auger five feet. They then withdraw from th 2 pit before the auger i 3 removed, and upon its extrication the water bursts up through the aperture with great violence, and quickly fills the new made well, and is affected by neither rains nor droughts. But what is the most remarkable in this operation is’ the layers of earth -as we descend. At the depth ot fourteen feet are found the ruins of an ancient city, paved streets, houses; floors, and different pieces of mason work. Underthis is found a eoft oozy earth, made unp of vegetables. and at twenty-six feet large trees entire, such as walnut trees, with the walnuts still stuck to the stem, and the leaves and branches in a perfect state of preservation. At twenty-eight feet deep a soft chalk is found, mixed with a vast quantity of shells, and the bed is eleven feet thick Under this vegetables are tound again. e Warning to Young Men, Charles Lamb told his sad experience as a warning to young men, In. the following language: “The waters. have run over me, but out of the black depth could I be heard. * I would cry out to all those who set a foot in the perilous flood. Could ‘the youth to whom the flavor of the first wine is as delicious as the opening scenes of life or the entering upon|some newly discovered paradise, look into my desolation, and be made to understand how drear 1t 18- when he shall feel = himself going "down a precipice, with open eyes and a passive will to his destruction and bave no human power to stop it, and yet feel it all emanating from himself ; to see all godliness emptied out of him, and yet not be able to forget a time when it was otherwise; to bear the piteous spectacle ot his owh ruin; courl({’ he see my fevered eye; fevered with the last night’s drinking; and feverishly looking for tonight's repeating. the g(')lly; could he but feel the body out of which I ery ‘hourly with feebler outery to be delivered, it.were enough to make him dash the sparkling. beverage to the earth, in all the pride of its mantling temptation.” Lo e ;

1 Pretty Busy. : | Pat, the favorite hostler of Gen. 8., | of Sherman’s Georgia army, got, on one occasion, unmistakably drunk. The General ga.ve him a {ecture on discipline and temperance—rather mixed but very strong, and- ¢oncluded ‘ an follows : : 2 “Why you were drunk yesterday, t0o.” 4Yes sir,” Pat - promptly replied. “And you're ' drunk: again.” “Yery drunk,” said Pat; “l know it to my sorrow, General.” “I won't allow. this.any more; if. it occurs again I’Hl gend yon to your regiment for exfra duty. I'm willing you: should get drank half as ofien as I do—won't that do yon !’ “Well,” said 'Pat, “I dunno, General ; yow'll keep me pretty busy 1" e e The roars.of laughter which greeted this reply caused the General to “strike his colors” and Pat retired with an extra ration of “Commissary”. supplied by the General himself. i : A traveler who has circumnavigated the earth says ‘that ‘everywhere he found the house of worship free, all over the world, among all religions exéeg; the Chrigtians.” ' The very people ‘whose werk s to disciple all nations, have ado];lted a system which shuts out from the house of God a large part of the common people. = ; sry ; PN ; 3 .

NOTIONS ABOUT HELL. ' The following : cheerful picture is. from the Phrenological Journal s - The ﬁlace-§ of suffering to which wicked human beings are doomed is generally called in Chinese, “earth’s prison”—that is, hell in English. It has ten departments, also called “earth prisons,” named according to the mode of ‘punishment employed in them.— There is a presiding judge, who decides in hades, or the pi)ace into which the wicked go after death, in regard to the prison into which each is to enter. Floggiug, bastinadoing, transportation, banishment, and death are the five punichments that are borne in this life; hell, bungry demons ‘and the state of the brutes are three' ways of suffering after death. The ten 'kings of hell have each a hell in which to punish® those who are condemned to them: . o .+ 1. The hell in which are hills stuck full of knives. brise. 5 2. The hell which has an iron boiler filled with scalding water. 3. The Lell of cold and ice. ! 4. The hell of trees stuck full of swords. 5. The hell where men’s tongues are plucked out, as a punishment for the gins of the tongue. 6. The hell of poisoned serpents. 7. The- hell of cutﬁqg and grinding to pieces. EHER 8. Tbe hell of sawing into pieces. - 9. The hell with iron.beds. 10. The hell of blackness and darkness. 30 2 s Besides those above named there are many others. 'For instance those who-killed pigs and dogs will be torn to pieces by pigs and dogs. :

- Cbarcoal for Horses’ Wind. “Many years ago I recollect,” says a correspondent of a London paper, “a horse being brought into the yard of Joseph Bignal a celebrated man. for keeping hunters at Croyden. The horse was very much affected in the wind, und could hardly move for distress. In a very few days this animal did its regular work as & hunter with perfect ease and comfort to -itself.— Tar water was the cure. . Tar is carbon, and charcoal ig'also carbon ; charcoal in the powder is more easily given than tar water. I have tried it with most beneficial effect, and I think it stands to reason that the removal of noxious gases and flatulence from the stomach of the horse must improve the wind and condition. Tar is frequently given with benefit in cases of chronic disease of the re piratory organs, but its effects are totally different from those produced by charcoal (carbon.”) - , el BO— : Our Financiai Liakilicy. Among the many grammatical dif-ficulties-id the English lanpguage is-the proper use of the words shall and will. For instance “the United States will pay to bearer two dollars.” Is this a prophecy or aé promise ? dlf prophetic when will it be fulfilled? : : L If promissory, when .sz7mll it be performed ?— Monthly Gossip in Lippincott for February. 1. . A reconstructed African’ at Washington, arrested for stealing, was upbraided by the magistrate. ‘I thought, Sam, you belonged to the loyal party, that’s on its good behavior, you know ¥’ ‘Dat’s just so, massa; we’se two classes—de high and de low. De high takes what’s guv to em like Massa Grant, and de “llow takes what’s not guv to e’m, like Massa Butler. I'se a low, massa, dat’s all’ : : 3 el o R———— - . RBe Kind in Small Things. The sunshine of life is made up of very little beams that are bright all the time. In the nursery, on the playground, and in the ‘school-room, there is room all the time for little acts of kindness that cost nothing, but are ‘worth more than gold or silver.. To give up something, where giving u will prevent unhappiness—to 'yieldl: ‘when persistence wifl chafe and fret others—to go a little around rather than come against another; to take ill -words or cross look rather than resent or return. it; these are the ways in which clouds and storms are kept off, and a pleasant, smiling sunshine secured even in the humble home among very poor people as in families in higher stations. Much that we term the miseries of -life would be avoided by adopting this rule of conduct.

THE teas have been planted in considerable numbers by the Japanese colony near Placerville, California, and are growing well. In Japan the tea shrub attains in the caltivated variety, a height of only: founr to six feet. In California we may expect to find it grow rapidly and obtain greater size, if it follows the example of éverything else Californian. The new plants at the Japanese plantation are all raised from the nut or the seed. Owing toan excessive amount of oil in these, the{ are found to decay rapidly, so that although planted thickly in ridges only a small proportion come to anything. The trees, progerly pruned down, are said to be gocd for thirty years, and are not very tender, only requiring sun and air. - S

+ i, The Laramie Sentinel has this item : “The hunting sport in this region beats Gordon Cumming’s stories abous Central Africa. Two boys went out with only six traps, and in ten days they caught seventy beaver, twelve martins, five fishers, and several foxes, Another friend of ours, Al. Houston, killed twenty large elk in five hours, & short time ago, within a few miles of thig city, The whole country is covered with antelope, like a sheep pasture, and herds of elk, often numgerr ing several hundred, are met with every day.” g ———— e ‘ At Columbus, Ohio, they had a baptizing not long ‘since, It didn’t turn ‘out' & success, because the minister took in & darkey first, and after slosh.ing him around in the tank, asked several young ladies to step in who were ,-{:repar,ed.

The Man Who fs In Love, There is something very cruel in’ the contempt with which women, as a rule, look upon a man who is in love. One might have thonght thnt compas--gion (which is nearly akin to contempt ‘however, with -many people) would have been a mere appropriate, feeling; but it cannot be denied that a man iz never less a hero with the woman of his acquaintance than when he is desperately in love with: some particular woman. If it be his_good" fortune to have inspired a similag attachment in the bosom of the young person who has upset his reason, 'the, out of all her sex, may be inclined to see some thing fine and noble in his devotion ;° but your ordinary wolan—and, above all, your extraordinary woman, who has some power of eatire, and loves to revenge the wakneases of her sex by laughing at the other—ca nnot help regarding a lover ag a rather silly person, who has canght a fever which is about as ridiculous as measles to a grown-up man. ' In novels the case is quite otherwise ; and nothing in fiction attracts the sympathy of woman so much as a perfect abandonment to a wild and impetuous affection, with the spectacle of a rhetoric-loving young man conquering every difficulty, and overcoming all manner of obstacles, for the sake of his sweetheart. - But in actual life, a man finds himself compelled to keep a strict watch over any exhibition of affection he may be inclined to indulge in; and if he does not, the women of his acquaintance look upon him as a “softy.”” and shrug their shoulders in a highly humorous ‘way over his folly. As for the modern young lady, she ‘conceals her affection so thoroughly that you would almost imagine she had none.

Articles joined with it can be used in a very few hours afterward. -

A Wisconsin negro ' suspecting a white man of interviewing his wife, watched through a stove-pipe hole. Soon his worst fears were realized ; he rushed into the bed-room, when the white man fled with his lEoots in his hand. ' The colored man was going to sue him for $250,000 damages, but on finding a good coat and vest, and a Eair of pants in the room, his wounded heart) was healed.

“Pqrsevere, persevere,” said an old lady to her maid; “It’s the only way you can accomplish great things.” One day eight apple dumplings were sent down stairs, and they all disappeared. “Sally, where are those dumplings?” I managed to ﬁet through them, ma’am,” replied Sally. “Why, how on earth did you manage to eat g 0 many dumplings !’ “By perseverance, ma’am.”’ !

A negro was caught in a gentleman’s garden at Roanoke, N. C., the other night, in close proximity toa lot of fine cabbage. 'When interrogated as to what he was doing, he replied : . “Good Lord! dis nigger can'’t go-nowhar to pray without bein’ troubled!” The next day it was discovered that he had prayed some half-dozen heads of cabbage off the stalks.

‘ A STRANGE WARNING. o ”m' T. H. 8. ESCOTT. o We were sitting in what was called by courtesy, “Mr. Frank’s study,” but which was in reality the smoking room of the Vicarage, late at night; three of us—my brother Frank Mainwaring, my cousin Guy Gervayse, and myséli. Guy we had neither of us seen for years; not, I think, since the old days when he used to spend part of his long vacation at Burnley and helped us to annihilate the game in waich my poor father’s coverts were rich. Even Frank and I had seldom met of late, for our paths were different; he my father's curate, and I but just returned, bronzed and altered by seven years beneath an Indian sunj | :

Returned, too, to find the heavy hand of death just closing upon the Vicarage. A telegram waited me at Southampton, bidding me come with all speed, for ‘my father"was fast sinking.. I wasin time, however—just in time to receive his fare well blessing, and to press my lipsto theold man’s forehead 'ere it was cold in death. "We hud only buried him that morning ; and on the previous evening we were all of us a little surprised at re ceiving a message from our cousin Guy, who we had thought was in Algeria, saying that he would bLe with us by ten_the next morning to follow his uncle’s corpse to the grave. \ L ' It was one of my father’s péculiarities, that during his whole lifetime he had always been singularly reserved in matters of business: but I was very much sur prised to hear from Frank that my father ha 1l not in the course of his illness given even him, his favorite son, any information as to the position of his affairs. As I have said, tbe funeral bad taken place that morning, but the will had not been found. Drawers and desks had been searched for days, over and over again, but it was nowhere discoverable. That a will existed both my mother and Frank were convinced, from the;occasional hints of it which my father had thrown out.«— Much depended on it; for the living, my father's own, had been long in the family, and there was other property, the disposal of which it could not but seriously affect. , . D While I had been dressing that very ‘morning, Frank knocked at my door, and entered the Toom with these words:

‘“Arthur, you are so skeptical on all these matters that you will smile when you hear what I have to say, but,as I live I eaw your father last night. Yaes, Arthur, the poor old governor stood by my bedside, just as I have seen him a thousand times, and eaid to me in & voice that sounded perfectly naturidl: ‘Frank, my dear boy, you want the will ; you will find it with my papers of orders. I wished to tell you so'the other night, when you were with Arthur in the study, but you were smoking and talking, and I could not interrupt you.' - And then,” continued Frank, “he said, ‘God bless you, my dear, dear son,’ just as he used to say every night when I gave him his bed candle. It wasas real life.” ;

This was Frank's story. During the day, as may be easily imagined, we had had little time fo think or talk further of it ; but now that the fearful ordeal of the funeral, which we all dreaded so much for my poor mother's sake, was over, our thoughts and conversation had naturally reverted to it, and Frank had only that minute narrated to Guy Gervayse, in precisely the same words which I have given above, the'story which lLie had already told me. '

I noticed as he listened that a curious look came over the unreadable countenance of Guy. He said nothing, but there was a strange.sort ‘of twitching about his nostrils, and & contraction ‘about his fore head, which plainly indicated that he felt much. . Perhaps he puffed away at his pipe a little quicker than usual, but that was all., : .

I own I was skeptical. ‘ “My dear Frank,” I said, “you know we have exanxined all the documents, and not even the papers or orders are to be found. .We have hunted nigh and low, and no -trace of them is'visible. I‘very much fear that your dreams will be purposeless. - What say you, Guy ?" But Guy was still silent, only there was the same strange pteoccupied look about his face. . Presently Frank threw away the end of his cigar into the midst of the logs which were blazing upon old fashioned dogs, lit his candle and bade us good night. AN

He was not & man to say much, was my cousin Guy Gervayse—a curious, impene trable character—a man who was at all times given to actions rather than words, who had been at most places.n the course of his roving life, and who spent histime roaming up and down Europe, and out of ‘Europe, as his fancy took him. -We used to be almost afraid of bim'as Loys. There seemed. about him %iespemte fixity of purpose which wasatmost cruel. And as I looked that night on the scarred face, and noted the penetrating expression of that cold, passionless 2ye, and saw the man's lips set like steel, I thought that any one who might happen to cross his p?rpoge would have assuredly a poor time of it. S

“ Arthur,” he said at last, “if I were you, I would renew the search for those papers.” “You think there's something in Frank’s story afterall? Iscarcely expceted to find youa proselyte to the theory of revelation by dreaming.? |- 0w S

But Guy was still silent, though his countenance spoke for him and made ‘me anxious to know what his thoughts were. s

“I'll tell you a story about a dream, ‘Arthur,” he said, after a long pause, cutting the while a cake of Cavendish asan initiatory step toward'a new pipe; “a dream which I had once, which didn’t end with itsel —no, by Heaven !—it you care about hearing it.” o : The offer was bluntly made, but it be: tokened an extraordinary degree of communicativeness on ‘Guy's part, and I was noti relnctant to accept it. The man, as I have said, was in some sense an enigma to us all. Whatever he had done, where he had been, were facts which he chose to keep to himsel!, and on which we would scarcely care to have closely questioned him. But the story of.the dream which Guy Gervayse told 'me now was in no: small measure the story of his life. Such as ‘it is, 1 will relate it, using as much as I ean the very words used by Guy himself ~2and he wasted very few in the narration, that you may be sure of. - ~ T suppose it was,” Guy Gervayse began, “because, poor child, she seemed to need some one whom she could cling to, and would defend her, that ‘'she was ‘attractéd towards me in the first. - Poor Bybil! Heaven knows whether she could have been happy with me—she ‘might have been—and the child grew to love me. ‘But it was not to be; you know I've been a good deal amongst' the Orientals, and kismet is the sum of my creed. Her tace —but I'd'sooner not think of her face.— Well, she shiould have been my wife, and ‘it might bave been a different world to both of us; but there were meddlers.— I punished them;he’ll at least do no / RL:nmor was t;' ‘scoundrel 'am%u Oov': Brd by nature; he was a fayorite with the world, for he had what ﬁg@qt’lg\ sp-

proves of, unlimited wealth. ' They toadied him at Eton, and when he ought to have been expelled from Oxford he found some infernal tool, who, for & good round sum of money, took the whole matter vn himself. Perhaps you 'may have seen the mau intown some ten years aFd, a huge, hulking fellow with an unhealthy countenance, lips full of lust, red. hair, and eyes like a fish. If 80, you will remember how mothers and daughters used to run after him because hehad eighty thousand a year. But the man was full of cuvning and was not 80 easily to be caught. . The first time I had seen him for years was in the Neville's drawing room. He had metthem, it seems, abroad—at Florence, I think. T cou'd sce at' once that the fellow came there ' because of Sibyl—there was no mistake in that. Neville himself was a spend-thrift, and men are beginning to wonder how long he would hsld out againgt the Jews, . = L “Of course, 'twas the old story. Yes, I told the child I loved her; but she ¢ould only cry; sol kissed her sweet lips and-she clung to me as if her heart would. break. gk o

“!0, Guy,’ she #aid, ‘they'll make me marry him.’ o s “A poor weak fool,” continued Guy Gervayse, “I dare say you'll think, to be persuaded. But what is a girl to do against the designing of a shrewd ‘father, and a mother who is the incarnation of cruel cleverness? | Mind you, 'tis not with a woman as with a man; the one cannot, the other can; set at naught.the command of parents. And they had tried to poisen her against me. Perhaps in some measure they had succeeded ; but if nothing else did, that parting—how plain1y I can see it all, and feel her clinging ‘kisses now !—showed me how much she lovedme. " Tt “‘Guy, pity, pity!” she said, Yes, I did pity her, for I knew the sort of future she might expect with Lorimer. I ‘knew, from the cursed look of venomous jealousy whichroverspread his yellow greasy face when he saw the terms on which I was with the whole family in the drawing room, how he would dog her footsteps and watch her doings; how there was no trust in the man’s love. - 2 E

“No use to think of that now. They were married, and Neville fully attained his object of freeicg “lis estates from the descendants of Israel.’ . About the same time I went on a yachting cruise up thé Mediterranean, and then in and about the coast of Palestine. Thought of Sibyl?— Yes, ‘poor child, often enough. - But what good would that do? I met some menat Corin, who told me that Mrs.- Lorimer did not go out a great deal in town, that Lorimer seemed to keep her in to an ab surd extent, and that they were now staying at a villa which Lorimer had bought on the Adriatic side of the Italian coast. ‘As T say,. 1 was beating about with no particular object in view, and'it was'accident a 3 much as anything -else which induced me to sail the yacht in that direction on her- hemeward trip. As luck would have it, we had scarcely got farther than the Calabrian’coast when a heavy storm compelled- us to put in.” A glorious spot, and a perfect natural harbor.— The high-cliffs, blooming with citron and orange trees, were surmounted by a Tonely looking house. I asked its name: ‘the villa n%the English Signor Lorimer.’

“‘Kismet once ‘more, I whispered to myself. ' I bad not been an hour on land when I met Lorimer. His manner towards me was entirely changed. - Notrace of sugpicion or reserve; his air was that of .genuine hearty hospitality. I must come to his, villa at once ; they were quite alone, and Mrs; Lorimer would be delighted tosee me. Well, I went; nor do I know .whether T ought to be glad or sorry. that I did. Bl . : “ Poor child! how sli¢ trembled when she saw me! howiher hand shook! how imploring was the glance of her eye, as if praying me to save her from—what, or whom? I would stay for at least a day or two, would Lnot? - Thatshesaid when Lorimer had left the room. I noticed that in spite of his effusion of manner towards me, she scarcely dared look at me when he was there. The. evening ex plained his change of demeanor; the brute had taken to brandy. That night I could not sleep, or if at times I went off into an uneasy and fitfal slumber, I fancied I eould hear the sound of moan-. ing, which disturbed me, and would, were I other man than I am, have almost terrified me. o

. “Well, the pext day Lorimer had to | look at some horses at a’distance, and Sibyl walked out into ‘the grounds with me. There was a kind of arbor.in‘one portion of them, almost overhanging a sheer precipice of several hundred feet, a lonely place enough. Beyond and below | was the sea, and a little out in the offing was the yacht. Great Heaven! how al- | tered the child was! - All the brightness in her eyes had.gone out; and I could seeas I looked at-them that they were red and heavy with recent tears. - But I saw l more. The breeze blew back a por‘ion of her light-sleeve, and there across her arm, was a livid blue mark as of a blow, with'a whip. - She saw that I had noticed i, and the tears came. . | “ Arthur, if there is one-moment in my life which I have ‘wished to_live over | again; it is that. She told «ne everything: ‘And now,” she said, ‘that he bas taken to brandy, I same times think in fits of mad jealousy -he will "kill me. lam sure_he would if he saw me here’ - Waile she wag speaking, ‘the child cast a.glance of feverish longing upon the:‘Sea Fan,” my yacht, in the distance. I knew what it. meant—knew that but a word was want- 1 ed from me. - Great Gocd! what wasl to do?” and a look of unutterable anguish came over Guy Gervayse's face. “Had I said that word it would have ruined her, ‘ yet I would now give worlds to have said it. ‘O Guy, she cried pitiously, ‘who will-l help me? And her head dropped upon my shoulder. e By | ; “There was a step at this moment on the pathway, It was Lorimer. ‘Sol haye found you, madam ; :that was all he said, but the look of fiéendisk' hate: and ‘the glare of jealous rage which came over his ‘bloated countenance, I shall not forget. - “Soncething impelled me not toleave: the villa -Frontigno that evening, At night Lorimer resumed his formersgood humor towards me, and finally drapk. so deeply that his sepses were overspread.— Well; the fellow went to bed, and Ito my room.

He will kill ~me if you stay; but, O, Guy, could yon ‘not be pear.me?—don’t go far.' - I took her |l)oor_cold ‘hand in mine, and kissed it “helplessly ; and then she left me, . . “ What was Ito dot How often have r I cursed myself for all that I did; and for all that'T did not!"

ing over the same white robe in which she had last met my eyes, and the red blood oozing from a pash —a devilish, gasping gash—across those fair features ; I could see 1t as clearly as I see you now. Yes, prostrated indeed lay the body; but there. mounted from it a fierce cry for vengeance—blood for blood! I could see more ; I could see Lorimer, with; the blood on his hand, and the blood on the long Italian knife which he had just sheathed. - Yet I was impotent to strike. Even in my dream I could feel the agony of that impotence, - I awoke struggling with the words ‘blocd for blood !’ ‘'on my lips. “Well, I wanted to run the ‘Sea Fan' ' ashore, but we had half a gale and before morning we had been, Leaten out at least twenty miles farther than we were at night. It wastwo days tiefore we managed to make the land at the little village close to Lorimer’s house. The first thing I heard was that the English signor and signora had left on the previous - morning, and all their servants iad gone after them, for England. : ; # But: I could not and would not leave without eeeing the place myself. I walked. up to the villa, and found it closed at every entrance. ' There was no trace of a ‘living soul about it. T'determined to enter it.. At last; after walking around the building once or twice, I saw that it was possible to climb up toa window, which I at once recognized as that of my former sleeping room, by means of alight lattice trailing it. if it could only bear my weight, I got up and in angther moment I was in the room. - I soon found' the wa{)t’o an apartment which I knew to have been accupied by Lorimer. Everything bore traces of departure ;- but there was no disorder, nothing to bear out the testimony of my dream. “ . L ¢ Btill I was not satisfied, and I resolved to search. : e

‘“ln one corner of the room stood a ponderous iron clasped chest, of Italian make. It shut with a spring’; but I found the secret of it, and threw open the lid. Great God! there ‘was /the realization of my dream ; there, in that snowy robe, was the body of Sibyl, with the tangled mass of golden hair ; there was the face gashed with the deep wound which I had already seen, discolored all over with the dark stain ‘that seemed to cry aloud for vengeance, ’ ” % ~ “From that chamber I departed with the intention of immediately giving the alarm. * But my mind was distracted, and-I-wandered' I Bcarcely knew whither, tillI found myself in front of she arbor in which Sibyl onlya few days ago had sat beside me. i | “Once more I heard a step, the same I hadalready heard there. I turned and saw Lorimer. . “‘Dolt!’ idiot!” he exclaimed, ‘“have you come here to meet your death? Do you not think that I watched you .enter the house, that I knew you went into that chamber in which she lies dead~dead—and killed with that same instrument which shall deal you to your death?”— And T saw him flash ‘the long Italian biade which I had seen once before in my dream. . ! “I anticipated the movement, and séized his wrist just as he was in the act of striking she blow, else you would scarcely hear me tell you this. There was not a moment to lose. Then came a struggle for existence. He was a powerful man, and his grip was like iron, We were fast approaching the extremity of the precipice, I on the side of the brink. A moment more and all would bave been over, . ‘His foot slipped,. and he fell prostrate; there on the ground laygthe knife.. 1 seized it, and— ; “No, thank God, the stain of blood' is not on my hands. Lorimer rose, but whether he felt that I was more than his match, I know not; I looked round; he had disappeared. The man had thrown himself from the brink ‘of the rock, five hundred feet high, into thé¢ ocean Deneath. i ; { “For the rest—well, never mind about’ the rest. It was the dream I waunted to tell you about, appropos of that business of yours. If I were you, Arthur, as I said, I would renew the search for those papers in every possible quarter to-morrow.” And Guy Gervayse knocked the aches out of his pipe, ana became silent and impenetrable as ever. el Well, Frank and myself took the advice of our cousin. We did renew the search for the will; what is more. we found it among precisely those papers which were indicated to -Frank by his ghostly visitant. As for the truth of these two dreams, I can at least vouch for that of one; and as for the other, Guy Gervayse is not givem to romancing. , et

'The Social Evil. Last week our otherwise quiet community, was thrown into a fever of excitement by the announcement of a case of crim. con.' wherein the wife of a highly respectable and well-to-do farmer, living some five or six miles northwest of here, was one party, and a bachelor some thirty or thirty-five years of age, living in the family and cropping on their farm or - an adjoining one, the other party. The lady was young and rather good looking, the husband kind and affectionate.i Prior -to the denonncement of -the fact: all things seemed to be going well.. At the January term of our Common Pleas, the farmer was one of the pettit jurors and attended court, and while he was here, a boy living in the family caught the wo. 7 man and her paramour flagrante delictu, two or three times. Soon as the farmer returned the boy told him what he had seen, and instead of resorting to violence, which has become the rage since the era of the Sickles Keys affair, quietly told the guilty ones they must hunt other quarters. The woman packed up her “duds” and then told her husband she wanted, fifty dollars ; this he gave her, loaded her trunk in his wagon, drove her to this place, paid her fare on the hack to Lafayette; at which Xlace she was joined by . ‘her paramour. At Lafayette they were forced to leave their hotel and so they took the cars westward. Where the guilty ones now are, no one knows, but the presumption is strong that they bave left for the “far West.” - | :
