LOVE THE CONQUEROR. - “No, Frank, I cannot be your wife. Thave marked out my future and have no time to think of love. Our friendship has been a joy which I shall treasure up in my memory, but I love nothing save my books and my glorious dreams of fame, to the attainment of which I shall, if need be, devote my whole future life. Perhaps I shall fail, but I think not. Heaven has given me talents, and it is my duty to improve them.”” “Catherine, you are making a grievous mistake ; you will never be happy in the path you have chogen. T'o-day you believe your heart is not made of common clay, to demand of love its deepest happiness, The powers of the mind are all potent with you now, but some time; far away, perhaps, in the fature you will say, ‘Frank was right,’ Fame alone cannot bring happiness, for ‘home and love are a woman’s all.” The woman’s lip curled scornfully, ag she said— ' 3 ‘Ah, I did not know that you claimed to be a prophet. - But, sir, I shall prove you to be a false one.’ “This is your final answer? You will not become my wife, and let me help you in your ambitious designs?’ ‘Help me?. No; alone and single handed will I accomplish my work, And, besides:‘y‘x are not capable of helping me; I am stronger than you, both in midd and body, notwithstanding your ideas of a woman’s extreme wéakness.! A flash, almost of anger, but swiftly melted into tenderness, burned in the man’s dark eyes as he looked down into her proud Jface, and he said, in strangely mingled tones of triumph and sadness: i :

‘So my little Catherine is my superior both mentally and physically? I admit that my health is broken by hard study, as yours will be long before yon reach the goal for which you'rstriving; but my mind, Catherine—are you sure you have sounded its depths, and can pass a righteous judgment.’ : ‘Have I not known you all your life? Your mind is as clear to me as a printed page. Frank, you are good and ncble, but you cannot reach my heart, ¢ln all our acquaintance, you have never once swayed my feelings as can one little sentence from this book,’ taking, as she spoke, a book of poems from the table at her side, : ‘So that’ book is my rival? You love the mind that-bespoke its exist~ ence? Do you know the author, Cath~ erine?” : ' ‘Cannot a woman admire without loving? I am 8o weary of this tiresome cant about love, which meets me - on every hand. Unknown though he is to me, I respect—yea, more than that—reverence the mind from which sprang a work so pure and noble in its aims. 1 am satisfied that he would consider the sentiment of love as a weakness.” " 4 : . ‘Catherine, the mind that conceived the work, it seems to me, is just the one to love with all the intensity of a deep, passionate nature,’ . ‘I cannot think' so; but we will ~change the subject, as it is not a profitable one. T am going away to.morrow, L and this will probably be our last meeting for a long time. : Going away ! May I ask where you are going? . - ’ Lo To my brother’s in the far off city of C——. His wife died afew weeks ago, and he wishes me to come and look after his children, and then I write for several of the publications of that city, and it will be convenient for me to reside there. Frank, when I get older and wiser, I am going to -write a book, and itshall be a success~ ful one, too. 1 willshow you and the :i.;“ of the world ,what a woman ecan 1 hope and trust that your dreams may be reaiaed. But, Catherine, when

you are tired and weary of ‘it all, and feel the need of rest, and some one to love and care for you, will you come to me? Promise me, Catherine. Should I ever need or wish for your love and care, I will come back to you, But, Fraok, I cannot think that the time will ever come. e Catherine Seymour was nut artistically beautiful, but the light of intellect burned in the dark, blue-grey eyes, and the power to will and to do, was enthroned upon the broad, white brow. ' Frank Armstrong had just obtained his university degree, and taken the place which his ?her. now gone to. rest, had so worthily filled for many years, that of pastor in the village church. Beloved and respected by all who kiew him, handsome, noble and engaging, he had yet failed in the hope, cherished from boyhood, of winning the love of Catherine Seymour., And eaddened, yet not embittered, he commenced his life work alone. ‘ (. * * * . ¥ ~ Ten years have passed away, and Catherine has accomplished her work. Ten years from the very June morning upon which she and Frank parted, her book, the child of her own brain, was placed in her hands, and with it numerous flattering reviews, Away to her own room she fled with them, that zhe might realize, weep over, and thank heaven for the triumph which had made her a very child again, - When she had grown calm, she laid aside her book, bathed her face, brushed back the rich brown curls, and took a miniature of herself, taken ten years before, and laid it on the table beneath the mirror, and gazed first upon that, then upon her own reflection in the glaes There was scarcely a resemblance, save the beautiful hair and the deep eyes. Pale, wasted, and careworn, she saw herself now. | Ah, she murmured, a precious thing bave I given in exchange for fame! For it I have bartered away my health, crushed out my youth; and now that I have <attained it, after 80 many years of unceasing toil, it does: not satisfy me! I begin already to realize that Frank was right. Never, until this moment, did I.believe that fame could not fill a woman’s heart. And then this throbbing and aching at my héart reminds me that I have but little time. béfore me, to enjoy my trinmph. Ab, Frank, I have not proven you a false prophet, : . Time passed on, apd every day Catherine :received many flattering notices of her book. She was soon a lioness in the literary world, and fawn-ed-upon, and flattered by fashionable society. But she grew utterly weary of it all, and longed for rest and quiet. A wish to wisit her childhood’s home began to creep into her heart. She remember her promise to Frank, but would not acknowledge, even to hergelf, that a desire to fill that promise had anything to do with her longing to get back to her old home again. . She had no relative there, none in the wide world, save her brother, with whom she (lived. and his children. She had held no correspondence with ‘her old friends, and knéw not but they had all forgotten her. She felt, however, that she mus visit the graves of her parents, and wander once more in the paths where she had wandered when a happy child. when the future and fame looked so glorious in the distance, - : i

It was near the close of a beautiful day in September that she arrived in Corntown, her native village. With mingled emotions she gazed around her upon the once familiar objects. Ten years had {made many changes, and yet the place looked homelike, She met old acquaintances; but they did not recognize in the wan, faded woman, -the bright, active maiden whom they had known in other years. Her old home was just beyond the village, and thither she directed her footsteps, not knowing whether she should find it empty or occupied by strangers. She turned into t!?«fold path which' led through the orc¢hard, and so many remembrances of the past rushed to her mind that she could no longer stay her-tears, and . throwing herself down at the foot of an old apple: tree, where she bad played so many times with the beloved‘sister who now slept quietly a little way beyond, in the churchyard, she wept in childish abandoment. ‘ ; Directly a piteous, whining sound caused her to raiseher head, and there beside her she saw a great shaggy dog, looking npon her with almost human sorrow for her grief. A cry ot joy burst from her lips, for it was Rover, her own dog, whom she had given to a dear friend when she ‘'went away. She threw her arms about his neck, and resting her face against his bead, wept again; this time for joy at the sight of an old friend, and the only one who had known her yet, . : ! : Rising soon, she walked with Rover ‘close beside her to the house door, and knocked for admittance. It was opened by a bright-eyed woman, whom Catherine knew in a moment to bea much-valued = schoolmate—Rover’s mistress—but she met her visitor as a common stranger, merely asking-her to enter and be seated. ; .

“Oh, Fanny,” the weary girl cried, “have you, too, forgotten me? I am Catherine; do you care to see me ?” “Catherine—dear, dear, Catherine ! Is it possible ?” - And the two were clasped in each other’s arms, weeping and layghing together. . o : Fanny was now Mrs. Knight, and her huegand owned the place that had been Catherine’s home. ‘ Tht following day was the Sabbath, and Catherine attended, church with her friends. Fanny had told her that Frank was still their pastor, and was almost worshipped by his people. - * The sight of the old church brought up 80 many reminiscences of the past that she could scarcely restrain her ‘tears, her sobs ; and with heavy, downcast eyes, she followed her friends up the aisle, and into the pew which once b:longed to ber family. - Service commenced, and Frank's voice sent a sirange thrill through her “heart; but she dg:ted not look up.—

She could not meet his glance, she thooght ; but at last she raised her eiyes and met his own, gnd they flashed a swift glance ot recognition. 1 After service, he came to her; tnd tears dimmed the eyes of each as they clasped hands once more, Neither dared trust geir voices there in hearing of so ma’y; and so, with only a glance and a hand-clasp, they parted, and she stole away alone to the churchyltu'd, and zeeking out the gravj‘s of the loved oues, sank down - beside them, sobbed uncontrollably. ,‘ An hour passed, and a hand was laid lightly upon her shoulder, and she knew that Frank stood beside her. He lifted her gently from the ground and supporting the trembling form, gazed down sadly into the pale, tearful face. No word as yet passed between them ; but now he said, in the old, tender way— | “Catherine, my own little Catherine! But how changed—how sadly changel! - = Loy e ~ “Yes, Frank, 'I am changed. — None of the old friends knew | mie, save you and my faithful Rover.”” . “Ah! these little hands—how thin they are ! Forgive me, Chatherine, for speaking of it now ; but I told you, on the day of our parting, that you would wreck your health as well as your hap-~ piness, for I was satisfied that physically you were not so strong as you thought. Catherine, come to me now ! Surely yon will not leave me a%ain ? I bave loved so long and so faithfully, believing that some day you wquld returntome. Can you love me now, Catherine ? e o “Frank, I love you. 1 thoughtT could.live without love, and yet be happy. But to-day I acknowledge my weakness, and will say what you once said I should say, ‘Frank was right.— Home and love are a woman’s all.”

- +Precious words.! How I have hungered to hear them from your dear lips! And after al! these years, my darling loves me. I will love and cherish you as never woman was cherished before. The light and bloom of health must, please heaven, he brought back to this lear, wan face, and we will have no grasping after fame. Do you remember a particular book of poems which you once admired so much ? I will tell you that I was the author of tbeu’?,’ ~ *Oh, Frank, how blind I was! Can you forgive all' those ecruel things which I said 7 = = *They were forgiven as soon as uttered. "But come, darling, the air is getting cool, and you must remain here no longer, I will walk back with you to the old home, and in a few days I shall claim you as all my own.” | When they reached the orchard gate, he said— , ‘I have a strange fear of parting with you. Surely nothing will separate us again |’ L b - ‘Pray heaven, dear Frank, there may not, for I cannot live without you; and, even supported by | your precious love, I cannot hope tJ,o live long. Physicians tell me that my days are numbered. I ought not to burden you with such a wreck, after turning from you when in health.’ ‘You cannot be a burden to me. It will'be the sweetest happiness I have ever known to care for you. But don’t speak of dying—that I cannot bear, and 1 feel that in your own home and tender nursing you will soon be as bright and well as of old. Now, dear, you must go in and rest; but first kiss me, Catherine—you never did, you know !’ ae "And he clasped her close to his heart, and pressed lingering. kisses on her answering lips. | ! Frank was once more a true Rrophet. A home among those she loved in her native village, rest from the anxieiies of public life, and enjoyment!of\the health giving country air, soon restored the roses to Catherine’s |faded cheeks, and courage to her fainting gpirit. Threé months hardly Sapsed‘ ere she gave her “hand,” with her heart in it, to Frank. Together they are working ont their life ,missi(jvn and, though twenty years of married life have passed over their heads, Cath‘;erine is more than ever. convinced that fame cannot fill a woman’s' heart, and that for her Love is still the Conqueror. ; . ; L '

. THE telegraph brought tHe anpouncement the other day that the office of the Sentinel, a paper published in Raleigh, North Carolina, had- been blown up by an explosion of nitro-glye-erine. The fact thatit was a Conservative newspaper, and that the nitro-glye-erine was placed under the establish~ ment by some devoted Radical,was not mentioned in the able Associate Press telegram. It is remarkable, too, that not a word has been uttered against this ontrage by the newspapers that would be likely to mamifest indignation if somebody were to place a ton or two of 'nitro-glycerine under the White House and then hit it with a hammer,

If any thing more were needed to convince the most unsophisticated man that this mercenary sheet was working in the interest of the Grantites, this would be sufficient, Letthe political friends of Hendricks spot his mercenary newspaper.

Early Reccoilections of Indiana. A RELATED BY ONE OF THE FIRST SETTLERSTO nmoo. A peculiar interest always attaches to things of the past. - Each successive generation lovcs to ponder over the events and experiences‘of others-who once figured in the great drama of life, and more especially of those 5n whom the curtain is about to fall. Relics of by-gone days are treasures. that we instinctively prize. History itself is but a chain ‘whose links are events connecting us with antiquity, and as we feel along down this chain we find ourselves more directly in sympatby .with those treasure links nearest to us ‘anl our homes. - Wha does not love to linger about the old log house his father built years ago, whose tattered roof and. crumbling chimney walls remind one of & poor beggar, stadding by the road side ‘asking alms? - Who-has not lingered about such ruins in silent awe when he bas recalled ‘the faces, and forms, and scenes of other days—days when those log buts were common specimens of Western architecture, when the ax was ringing in t% forest to subdue tl‘ms_e;hi‘l»l&j and valléys, and hard but honest hands of pioveers were busy hewing the ‘way for progress and civilization, All bearts, I say, have & common taste for theee associations, and it is such a belief that bas influenced your correspondent to give the reade'ré. of the BANNER a few reminiscenées in the life of one who came to this .countr} when Chicago was nothing but a swamp, Detroit only a village, and -Fort Wayne an obscure trading post, and before there was a single town laid out in the State of Indiana north of: that point. I skall, ‘throughout the correspog@ehée; speak as it were for the old piopeer who is relating it to me, that the reader may be made 'more familiar with. the facts narrated. Pléase recollect theny that the personal pronoun “I” stands for the :pioneer himself, and not for Frisca: - . o In the fall of 1830, T left my home.in Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, for what was then considered the Far West. The object that I sought was land, which was already beyond the reach of men ir ordinary circumstances in miy native State. ‘I was then a single man, in-the prime of ' life, full of “energy and pluck, and”l be: licve I possessed my share of thiat ambi “tion which ought 'to entet'into the composition of every young person, namely, to-place himself in position to successfully compete with those around him. -How could this be-done better than to locate in a new country, where I could have a fair start with my-neighboérs. «Hn,_ving heard of the St Joseph country, by which name a large part of Northern Indiana was then known, I got up one fine morning just as the frost was beginning to nip the ‘grass, saddled my horse, and whispered good, bye to the dear old »fo_lks at ‘home, and when the sun set that night I was looking bhim in the face, With my back upon home for the first time. Means for locomotion were not very éxtensiye’ at that time, and thirty miles was considered a good. day’s travel, - I bad;_nig'" companions. " Folks generally took the spring.of the ‘year to emigrate - west, but having no family or luggage, the scason made no special difference to me, o L rode ﬁl_'ong'frbm place to place, stopping at taverns on the road whelk I could and lying out dcors when I could’nt get such accommodatiocns. = I camg by way of Pittsbargh; from thence to Columbus in Ohio, and got to Indianapolis about the last of October. It was not much of a place then. -It was only four years old, and contained ' less inhabitants than Ligonier 'now does.. Being the scat of gqfvfernment,-itvvlvifd»eoﬁlg pretty good - buildings, and they: looked odd enough, built as- they were, right in the woods. It did not promise much then. ‘There was land close fo it. that was not yet entered, but I did not feel a desire to stop there. It was not-qaite far enough | from home. I had ”sparted for the St. Joseph country and I'must see it. So I came on to the little pan of LaFayette, ~which promised more than its sister city —lndianapolis—then .did. There were séme settlements’ alopg on the Wabash, and considerable clearing made between LaFayette and Logansport, in Cass county. The northern part of the State was at this time all territory. = The land had uot yet been surveyed north of this point, ‘and was not yet in market. It was used

for a reservation for the Indians—the Miami and Pottawatimee tribes. There was no road north of Logansport, which was then perhaps about tpe'_sizé of mod-. ern Wawaka. _Follow@ng_up- an Indian trail from Logansport, (I bad two com paniods from this point), we came on thro’ ‘what was then known as Turkey prairie—a beautiful stretch of prairie land just | south of the site on which Elkbart now stands. Wkhen we came on this open praitie, we saw toward evening a hiouse in_ the distance, and made up our minds to stop over night if possible. On’ getting near it, we found it to be a log house oniy half finished, whose builders bad left’ for other parts. What to do we did not | know. Thére was no-house within miles of us and night was on our heels, and we did ot dare proceed for ' fear we might lose the already dim trail. The house | was no protettion to us, and so we came on to some woods that bordered Elkhart prairie on the south, where we made & fire’ and spread our blankets. - Having no 'matches we used our flint locks-and punk, which was common- in those days. The next morning we came on to the beautiful Elkhart ~ prairie 'which then contained about a dozen families, scattered in different parts. . Among them were ColonelJohn Jackson, Mark Thompson, William Pierman, James Fryer and Ohristopher Myers.. They were living in little log houses, nice and cozy as lords:in palaces. It they did not have luxuries, they had comforts ; if they had no elegance around them, they ‘had what is better: freedom and good health..~ Col. Jackson was the first man that settled ow that prairie. He | tocated there in 1828, when the whole of | Northern Indiana was s wilderness, These

families bad all come from Ohio and were good, hearty specimens of the yeomanry : ‘ot the buckeye State.© Where the town of Elkbart now stands a single family re: 'sided, by name of Crawford. Passing _throogh Elkhart prairie, we followed the: trail another day in a northwest direction ‘and came out by the Bt. Joseph river near .the bend in the stream from which South: Bend derived its name. A few French and Indian traders had set up shop there, making a small settlement. It struck me “that this wouﬁd' make a good poiat some 'day. The river looked so beautiful with -its crystal water shining in the sun of an Indian summer, and the high banks that were eovered with green grass even at this - advanced time of the year. The country around was attractive, but the settlers at the bend looked rather suspicious, 8o we .did not tarry, bu* passed on towards Niles, . from which point we boped to reach the . ‘moath of the St. Joseph river. ® About halfway between 'the bend and Niles night overtook us, and we put up with a Frenchman, living on the banks.of the river 10 a little log but that looked more like a Dutch oven in Penusylvania than - a dwelling house. |- His wife was a squaw —one of the fair Miami's—and she flew round in ber rough! way to make us ;as_; ‘ comifortable as her scanty means would ‘allow. They had skunk for supper, but myself and companions took jerked veni--son in ours. We slept in'a trundle bed four feet long. I was about six feet in my boots then, and, therefore, four feet of me stuck out ofbed, twe of my own feet and two by stature measure. That night our horses fared better than we did They had access to a stock of prairie bay, "and in the morning they were tresh and frisky. Finding that we could not get through' by the way of Niles, we came back-to the mouth of Elkhart river, a‘most beautiful site for a town, pleasing even then in its uncultivated state. We then struck for Fort Wayne by way of an Indian trail that led through the section on which Goshen now stands. Goshen . “was nothing but woods then. Wolvesi' “were howling, bears were growling, deer were leaping along, keeping pace: with “bands ct elk that then fed off these hills, and valleys, and prairies. We arrived at Mr. \Boyd’s, where the town of Benton now stands, late at night. and remained over till vext day. Having seen the St. ~Joseph country, I made up my mind ‘o return home before cold winter locked me in, On my return I passed through Zanesville and Wheeling, and got back gafe and sound to my old home on the 20th day of November, having traveled o horse over a thousand miles, and gone ‘ounly two months. I told my folks that I _had selected my future country, and I felt then what I bave since seen—that Northern Indiana was destived to be some day populous and wealthy. _. ; [TO BE CONTINUED.] -

] Puarity and Reform, | - In speaking of the recent elections, and the money and corruption nsed to carry them, the Indianapolis Sentinel gays : The party of reform has none of these advantages, noue of these power~ ful adjuncts to wield for success. The money that is raised to keep up the necessary party machinery comes.by voluntary contributions, and they have to rely for their strength and success upon the moral sentiment of the people, upon their opposition to extravagance - and corruption and upon therestoration and- maintenance of just laws and pure government. In the recent canvass reconciliation and purification were the leading ideas presented to the people: by the opponents of the Administration party,and they could have no more fitting or able representative than the standard bearer of the reform party, ‘Horace Greeley. The' principles and the purposes for which the Liberals ‘made a most gallant and determined contest on Tuesday have not diminished in importance-by the adverse results of the State elections held upon that day, and the obligatior of the party of reform to contend for their supremacy in the ddministration of the Govern- ° ment has not abated ‘one jot or title, but remains in tull force. The results of Tuesday are not so dizastrous as the first reports made them. We have lost Pennsylvania by the most infamous frauds. ~ Obhio failed to come up to the -expectations that the Liberals of that State ' predicted, and Nebraska is rejoined to her Radical idols, Of the four States that voted on T'uesday, Indiana stands alone in the condemnation of the Graut ring, and her verdict will arouse the party of reform, of reconciliation and paurification to renewed and morestrenuous efforts for success in the Presidential election. Let the Liberals -of Indiana, let the Democrats of Indi+ ‘ana, let the friends of retorm in Indiana, by whatever name designated, not flag or falter in the glorions revelution -they have inaugurated, but under the rallying cry of onward, confirm the victory of October in November, confiding to an honest, an able man, one without superior if he has an equal in all the qualities of elevated statesmanship, the destinies of the Great Republic for the next four years, in the firm belief that ‘his administration of the Government will reform ‘ existing evils and restore to the country peace, harmony, unity, ‘honesty and purity,- from which will flow real prosperity and substantial progress. ; G e
