"Ah! it's ray punishment!" ghe cried, an3 the wan, haggard face dropped ia the thin hands, and there was a little sikiice in the room, broken only by the low, solemn sound of the wind moaning in the trees outside, like the far-oil found of waves npon a lonely shore.

VOLUME VI. Ah 1 there spoke the eotil of woman, and the whole philosophy of her heart and life was comprehended in the brief sentence. Because they love explains a thousand things in their lives which we find unexplainable by any system of judgment which will apply to our lives. "The first shadow in paradise came when the war broke out. It stirred everybody to feverish excitement in our hitherto-peaceful valley everybody but me. I knew notliing of war. I hardly comprehended what the war meant. Something which might affect other lives, perhaps, but certainly not mine; and so, at first, I cared but little for the vague signs of trouble which hovered over us. But, when Roy came, full of a passionate enthusiasm, and told me that danger was in the air I began to feel that a change was at hand. Then there were long, stubborn arguments about the North and the South. I knew little about it, but Roy was full of love for the land he was born in, and, of course, I believed as he did. He knew best. I don't know now whether he was right or not. I don't know whether the South or the North was wrong, but I thought as he did then, bacause I loved him, you know. The shadow in paradise grew awfully deep and black when Roy enlisted. It hid every ray of sunshine, and I remember that I told him that I believed it would never lift again ; for I felt, in some strange way that I cannot explain, that I was going to lose hirn. How brave and grand he looked in his army gray ! "'When I comeback there will be none happier in the wide world than we are,' he said. " Yes,u7tenyou come back !' I cried, all white and trembling with that swift presentiment of what the end would be. For answer, he bent and kissed me, and I knew by the look in his face that he waa not sure that he would ever come back to me. Something told him that my fear was a fear of what would be ! " TVell, he went away to fight for the South, and the days were long, and oh ! such lonely ones ! Perhaps you had friends in the army. Ii you had, there's no use in iny trying to tell you how long or lonely they were. You know. " The battle-storm swept ver our hilla and valleys for long months. Now, the wind would sweep down from the north in a wild, resistless way that car ried everything before it. Then the wind from the south would gather its strength and drive the north wind back. So to and fro the armies of the blue and the grey kept tramping, tramping, tramping, until by and by it began to pe-era that I should never be able to get the sound of that mighty tramp out of my ears. " One day the news came to us that the Northern army was on one side of us and the Southern on the other. "We, of the Paradise valley, held our breath in fear. I had begun to realize what war meant by thi3 time. " That night Roy came to me. Oh, my lover, my king ! I clung to him in such wild, speechless rapture I I had supposed him hundreds of miles away. "lie told me that he was on a dangerous mission. He was a epy from the Southern army. It was a difScult task that he had undertaken to perform, irat he had courage and a will to do or die. ' Maybe it's for the last time, he said, when he kissed ma at parting. 'Bat, if I die, remember, Margery, that, right or wrong, I died like a man who believes he was right.' And I do I I do ! Oh, ray Roy J "The next day he cams back to rae, never to go away again came back in awful dignity and state, cold to the touch of my hand, silent to the sound cf my voice. There waa a great red stain on his gray cog.t ! Roy was dead I dead ! " I remember nothing for days after that. The future seemed to be to me an open grave. Roy was dead ! dead 1 " Ty 2.1 by I fond cut iw he Lai cc-iatD V. d- -ill. You tea tht til Iilzb dona the vrdhy? Til, ua eld man Ihtd there v-.Lo Lid t-vj co- r.r.d Lrfy 1 ..d bv n cm ar-iy.

me. They were most likely deserters. If I could give them up to the army they had deserted from it would be a glorious revenge ! " "While I sat there, thinking what to do, I heard a knocking at the door, and opened it to find some Confederate soldiers there. I knew what their mission was. They were looking for the men I had seen. I told them where they would find them with a wild, awful exultation at heart. What a sweet revenge would be mine ! " They went away, and I came here to this window to watch and wait. How my heart leaped with triumph when I saw them come out of the old man's house with his sons prisoners. I think I cried out in fierce, liendish joy. The old man had given Roy up to death. I had given his sons to the punishment their offense demanded. I had made my revenge double in its force. "I saw the soldiers going down the valley with their prisoners, and the old, gray-haired man following. Then they were hidden from my sight for a moment, and I thought forever; but when I looked that way again I saw the two men standing on a little hillock, the old man prone upon the ground, and the sun was flashing cruelly bright along the leveled guns, and then heard the sharp, deadly crack of rifle-shots. I saw the thin blue smoke curl upward like a little mist, and the two men in a shapeless heap upon the knoll. I saw it all with terrified, fascinated eyes. Oh, my God!" She went to the window and looked out into the afternoon sunshine for some moments before she spoke again. When she turned to me her face was that of an old, old woman. " The sound of those riSe-shots comes to me everywhere at evening, morning, midnight. I can never get away from them. lean never shut out the sight of that awful day. I don't believe the grave could hide it from me. My God ! Have I not been terribly punished for my sin ? Hark I I hear them now J Can't you hear them ?" I shook my head. " Oh, pity me, pity me 1" she cried, and then she went out and down the garden path toward a grave unmarked by slab or stone. Roy's grave, I knew. " Poor woman !" my companion said, when we were on the road again. "Her story is true in every particular. She thinks and talks of nothing else. She has never been herself since the day the deserters were shot. " "Vengeance is Mine. J will repay." The words seemed ringing in my ears as 1 went down the valley of a desolated paradise. Ehioctok, Wis. LAnon A.yj cost or xinxa ix , SCOTLJLUD. Mr. Samuel F. Cooper, United States Consul at Glasgow, transmits to the Department of State a report on trade in Scotland, from which the following extracts have been made: "Wages are steadily declining. Laborers receive from 50 to 75 cents a day; miners, 8 to 12 cents an hour; mechanics, $7 a week; printers, $8. On railways conductors are paid 03 to 3 a week ; switchtenders, $5 ; engine-drivers 10 to 14 cents an hour; firemen, 6 to 8 cent3 an hour. The cost of living is about the same as in the United States. Whisky is considered a necessity, though it costs about 300 per cent, more in Scotland than in the United States. Beer is comparatively cheep. ' " There are eleven banks in Scotland, with their branches, under special charters; capital, 30,000,000; circulation, C2D,CQ0,C00; deposits, 312,000,000; gold held, - 17,000,000; silver, 3,000,000. The circulation of each bank is unrestricted. It is only required to redeem its issues in coin, and to hold a certain proportion of coin in reserve. Only about 5 per cent of the currency is coin, four-filths of which is silver. Paper is universally preferred to coin, which is never called for except for special uses.

OJ.D utGU. BX E. E. W. Growing old gracefully ia an art in which few study to acquire perfection, and yet how beautiful is age with the grace and tenderness that properly belong to the autumn and winter cf life. There is a poetry that should linger about and crown it with respect, reverence and admiration. The later days should be set to quick, pleasant music, and only soft, sweet notes should ripple from the heart, where it is yet springtime, with all it3 cherished associations. Old people deserve a sunny niche in the household; their loving faces should be framed in the memory, dearer and clearer than the gems that come from the artist's brash which call for our admiration. Their deeds of mercy and loving kindness, of patience and endurance through trials, of thoughtfulness for others and sympathy in the hour of need, should be printed on the heart in characters that will never grow illegible. If their hearts have been full of kind humanity and sweet friendliness and generous acts, then the coming night should be gemmed with the stars of affection and devotion. Would they drift back with the tide, we often ask ? Perhaps, if they could only redeem the errors of youth, could only stem the breakers more courageously and nobly, and make of life a richer poem. If their lives all the way through have been set to the music of high thoughts, noble aspirations and brave deeds, then the blossoms of admiration and honor should be laid daily at their feet by kindly hands. To the old, the rush of early memories comes back like the lost notes of a song they once loved. They delight to live over the past; for them the meadow daisies grow again, the yellow dandelions are plucked with fearless fingers, the running brook murmurs no music sweeter than, that they once knew in their hearts, and the fragrant cloverblossom breathes only the perfume of a vanished June. They carry with them always the poetry and sweetness of remembrance. Abut those who grow old gracefully there Lingers forever the freshness and tenderness of youth. The silver hair wears "Time's gathered snows." The foolish, bafned hopes of mere worldly" ambition fade away before the infinite longing foi- things higher and holier, and to- those upon whom they depend there come verses which never can be written, of sympathy with sorrow, resignation in affliction, cheerfulness in disappointment, and the sweet faith that helped to overcome all obstacles. We ofttimes smile at their odd fancies, and wonder why they cling so closely to little keepsakes and treasures of the past ; they may be but links on the chain of Time that carry them back to a more golden dawn. Old age is full of study. It has battled with life so long, and grown weary so often over its broken ambitions, its repeated failures, its vain hopes. They often forget the world once held for them so many aspirations ; as they drift silently toward that unknown shore the rapture of that "strange, beautiful song" of youth seems only a dim reality, half-forgotten. The sunset hours of old filled with gleams of fading pictures, tinted with roseate clouds or shadowed with tears ; but if it be a season of contentment, restful and cheerful, it always wears a gracious coloring, the dew of its sweet influence rests upon our hearts, and we insensibly 'yield admiration, reverence and love to the unconscious charm of peace, repose and serenity that crowns beautiful, graceful old age, and gives it a poetry grand and tender and sweet.

ZOATIZSOM2J XtJBPJEItS. Two genuine cases of leprosy have been brought from Cuba, and are now under treatment on Blackwell's island. The discolored features, swollen limbs, and bandaged feet of the patients show that they are affected with a disease happily not often met with here. One of them is too' sore to move save when it is positively necessary. The other, though much further advanced in the disease, is at present as lively as a cricket, but, being loathed even by the worst syphilitic patients in the tame ward, keeps to his corner and sees no more of the outside world than he can get by loosing from the window. One of them, Abraham Brown, is a New Yorker, and 54 years old. The other, Emilie Trenal, is a native of Cuba, and only 19 years old. Trenal has been- afflicted about five years, and is in the last stages of the disease. Brown has the disease in a more acute form, and the disease has so invaded his whole body that he presents a frightful appearance. His hands and feet are almost black, and covered with ulcers; his fingers are enlarged to nearly three times their former size, so that the ends stand apart like the claws of a fowl; his nails have fallen out, and his features have an expression of despair that makes it painful to look at him. Brown brought his leprosy from Cuba, whither he went in 1855, remaining there about nine years. He feels keenly that he is an object of universal loathing. No one cares to go near him except the physicians, who have not the slightest fear, being satisfied that the disease is not contagious. The physicians have no hope of curing the lepers. They say that, although it has been claimed that lepers have been cured, no well-authenticated case has ever been recorded. All they can do is to mitigate the disease as much as possible. The two patients are taking twelve drops each of chloride of barium twice a day, and are kept clean by a carbolated wash. New York World. GMESJS OR GOOSES? The particular kind of a smoothingiron known among tailors as a " goose " came near upsetting the reason of a bright young clerk and the proprietor of a Chicago tailoring establishment one day this week. The manager wanted two of the instruments mentioned, and so told the clerk, but, after the latter had sat for some time writing on the order, he looked up in a bewildered way and asked : " What do you call the plural of a tailor's goose ?" " Why, geese is the plural of goose," said the master. "Well, you wouldn't have me write an order for two tailor's geese, would you?" "That doesn't sound hardly sensible in this connection," replied the proprietor; " how would it do to say ' two tailor's gooses ?' " The boy turned to the dictionary, and shaking his head remarked: " Webster doesn't give any such plural as that to goose, audi ain't going to." The situation was growing serious, when the clerk suddenly set to writing with the exclamation: "Now I'll fix it." And the order which he soon handed to the head of the hcu3e to tigu did fix it, for it read: "Messrs. Brown & Co., hardware dealers, Fifth avenue: Please send rae a number one tailor's goose, and by the Eternal ! send me another jart like it," Bat f arther than this the question cl what is the plural cf a tailor's gocso has not yet b:-cn Edilcd ia thou town, cr any other that know cf.

LETTE2 FROHl 1IOS. T. F. BAYAE1 Htm TJel!Wj,r Senator 01a X"re Elections, Electoral Fraud, Joim Slieramri, Etc. The political occurrences of tli6 last two years, as they are being daily brought to light from their recesses of dishonest concealment, should teach the peoplo of the United States the ever-recmrriEg need of stamping with the severest condemnation every thing that tends to weahea and impair the great principle of free and fair elections. The distinguishing feature the very safety-valve, in onr plan of Government ia the means provided, in the process of free elections, for the people to correct their errors and retrieve their political mistakes, whether by revoking misplaced tracts and punishing those who Lars deceived them, or changing the drift of political measures that have proved hurtful, so thit, taught by experience, they may prevent the repetition of the disaster.- The great ipsue of the immediate future is, in my judgment, the reassertion of this idea, and the eoiemu and resolute determination by our countrnien that elections shall be free, ehall be the 1 actual espreseion of the opinions and vrishes of the citizens, and that they snail be nonesuy and fully acquiesced in by the defeated party. See to what consequences a chfferent course and theory have led the party called Republican at the last Presidential election, and how close upon the rocks the ehip of state was driven, until, thanks to the patriotic and masterly self-control which animated the Democratic party, she was rescued and rendered capable of carrying her precious freight of human happiness and hopes upon nevr and, let us trust, successful voyages. The underlying idea of our institution sfree choice by the people, and honest and honorable acceptance of "the popular verdict as final by all parties has been wholly disregarded and contemned by the Republican leaders ; and, to use the language of one of the most conspicuous and influential among them Hon. John Sherman, the present Secretary of the Treasury in a late letter to the Ohio Republican conference, " The oniy threat that endangers the public weal and safety is the restoration of the Democratic party to power. . . .1 cannot but regard it3 restoration to power as the only danger that really threatens our public peace and Baf ety." Mr. Sherman is called a Republican, and has often held, and now holds, an office which is coupled with an oath to support the written charter of. his country's Government; yet be does not hesitate, in his partisan zeal, to make this open, defiant proclamation that everything is to be subordinated to the one idea of preventing a political organization embracing in its membership a large majority of his f el low-citizens, from again obtaining under law the control of the administration of the constitutional powers of their Government, which for seventy years of unbroken honor and prosperity it had exercised. The light already thrown by Congressional investigation upon the action of Mr. Sherman and his visiting associates in Louisiana in the fall of 1878 the means and methods then resorted to, and of which they so freely availed themselves to accomplish the one great end of depriving their political opponents and the American people of the just fruits of a laborious and earnest effort by the lawful methods of popular election to obtain reform in administration and relief from local misrule so vile that it was spreading hke poison from the unhappy communities, where he and his party had established and kept it throughout all the arteries of our federal system may now be better comprehended, as .they clearly appear in he characters and careers of the Andersons, the Wellses, the Kelloggs, and the Jenkses, that motley and ribald group of political miscreants, male and female, in whose hands Mr. Sherman and his party had placed the wires -of low and profligate political management which has converted popular elections into what would leem a horrible farce, were it not so filled with tragical consequences. The American people have a sure remedy for every political evil in the periodical recourse to a free ballot. Leave that right unimpaired and they wili retrieve their errors and correct their mistakes and follies; but, if deprived of it, they will be reduced to the single alternative of perpetual and degrading submission to admitted wrong, or a resort to forcible resistance to rid themselves of oppression. Mr. Sherman and his allies would close the door of relief through the orderly and lawful change of rules and policies by the honest and honorable acceptance of the results of popular elections, and bis brother, the General of the armies, is reported lately to have made the gratuitous but pregnant avowal, at the National Military Academy, that the army of the United States, under his command, would unhesitatingly be employed to sustain the tenure of a President, without regard to the right or justice under law of his title to the ofaee. The Fourth of July, 1878, and every day between that and the election day in 1880, are the fit and proper days for the American people to consider what answer should be given at the polls to such propositions for the calm and deliberate contemplation of such ideas, so as to shape their issues ia the simpie integrity and manly spirit of 177S. Let them proclaim as their resolves : 1. That they will have free elections in the States, undisturbed and unawed by Federal interference, civil or military. 2. The verdict cf the people rendered at the polls shall be faithfully recorded, and shall be accepted and obeyed. 3. "That the men or the party who shall stand in t ha way of these resolves shall be withered by the wrath of an earnest and honest people, who love civil liberty as insnrined in Republican iEstitntioud, and intend to preserve it for thems Ives and their posterity.
