We have never met upon this sublunary sphere, my dearest Frank, (what a charming name!) but in visions of the iiipht. mothiuks T have puzod upon .your couutenaoce. Von will forgive me if I speak too warmly I am a free, gushing unsophisticated child of nature, ana some say loving auu affectionate! A harsh word would kiilme. You will always be verykind and gentle with me, will you not, my dearct? Your coldness I could never endure. It would be the ruin of your Earaiina ! Oh, how much I would like to write more, but I forbear. T must await your reply. That you may know to what, and to whom, you arc to address your tatter I will describe, myself brielly, though descriptions never do one justice. I am young in the first flush of youth with golden hair and blue eyes lair completion, and flatterers call me pretty. Of course I do not endorse their opinion. I am tall, but I t u.-t not too tall for grace, and besides th's is a secret I have a great taste for literature, and hare somewhat distinguished myself by writing for the press under the nemmt de flume of Lülim Wilbon. Kerdy soon: I shall be in dispair until I hear from thee. Thy I'arafina. (IJEAN.)" A week afterwards the response came Frank wa charmed with the letter of his adored I'arafina ho worshiped her already, he said, and should live an eternity of atiiiisdi until he beheld her. He would be as confiding as she had been, and described himself. He wacalled handsome was dark complcxioned black eyed, with dark, close curling hair, white toeth, and cxpresshe features. Perafina was in ecstacies. She had not waited so long ir nothing. She could snap her fingers at tlio ill uaturel people who had called her an old maid. So the correspondence progressed and prospered, and culminated in an engagement of marriage. Frank wan to bo furloughed about Thanksgiving time, and the wedding wo'd be celebrated immediately afterward. Parafina immediately visited Boston to rurcrui" th rridl r.utu and for Treks

For a moment it seemed doubiful whether she would tear her hair out, or indulge in a good vry. Anger got the best of it. She seized the poker from the fire place, and sprang toward.? him. 'You scroundrcl !" she hissed between her closely shut false teeth, "leave this house instantly before I stain my hand with murder ! 1 Would sootier die than become yours 'Oh, don't trouble yourself about dat " returned the negro, loftily "Of course I couldn't think of taking you for my spouse, now. l'se got deceived migutily, but I'll make dc best of it. 1 bargained for a young gal and vou'se older than iny ole niümmy down in Cariiny.

Senate Committees Although the opponents of the present administration number about nine-twentieths of the people of the United States the loyal States, wc mean the other eleven-twentieths being friendly to the administration, the Democratic lvpresentatiou in the Senat is very small. A Senator from New Jersey, one from Mar ylaud, one from Indiana, one from Oregon, one from California, two from Kentucky, two from Delaware, and one from Pennsylvania, we believe, comprising their whole strength. But small as is the number, the dominant party in the Senate were determined that even this fragment should not have a proper representation u on the committees. Of the less than dozen Democratic Senators, representing over seventeen hundred thousand voter.-, the Bej ublican caucus determined tj exclude two MeDoug-ill of California and Saulsbury of Delaware from all the committees, while Mr. Guthrie ot Kentucky, who has served with distinction as Secretary of the Treasury and is everywhere recognised as an able financier and a statesman of enlarged views and great experience, is placed last on the Committee on Finance! He is also placed last on the Committee on Mining and one other committee.
