Io not start, dear reader; I am vrorrc than that a decidedly plain looking old xaaid. I tell you this frankly, at the beginning, so that if you are expecting to hear a succession of ro mantic adventures, all about the loves aad sorrows of "one of the fairest flowers on earth," you can make up yoür mind to be disappointed. Neither have I a certain 'case and grace, a 'facility in conversation by which one; might be led to forget the plain exterior. I have neither "swectuess" nor 'brilliancy" of manner. My poor, plain face is quite passive and expressionless. I have always lived very retired, and have been accustomed for want of society to solace myself with books and castle building. When I was just verging on young ladyhood, I confers to having read such a quantity of novelias passionately to desire beauty and a heroic lover. ut the boauty which fondly dreamed that "sweet sixteen " or lovely seventeen came not. I did not grow fairer, my hair did not gradually become soft aud wavy, and my eyes were n ) more of au azure than formerly iu short, I was pretty much the .same as ever onlv more of nie ! Therefore, instead ol the moonlight walks, the soirees, the attentive admirers of my maidenly dreams, I, plain, pale-faced, peaked-nosed Susan Smith, remained quietly a' home all the long evcuings, just because no-body ever asked mc to do otherwise I Aud so I just gave up all the romantic notions L had ever inuu'gcd, and resolved, without one agonizing death struggle, calmly, firmly resolved to submit to a life of sing'c blessedness. Thus situated, I betook myself more than ever to reading. My uncle's scanty library was h ug ago exhautcd; so I made depredations on neighboring ones, devour ing everything which came in my way. I had just become nicely settled in this, with a feeling of great contentment as to my lot and had given up all ideas of ever having a lover, and being like other girls, aud then there came but I am anticipating. Une day, wncn l was sitting witii my auut in the parlor, hemming some hand kerchiefs, and not dreaming that anything remarkable was going to happen to me, an invitation came for me to attend a soiree at Mrs. urton's. Now this same Mrs. Burton was a fashionable lady, who, tho' usually conforming to the round of con vcntional society, displaced, occasionally, some strange sparks of eccentricity. It so happened that she had an extensive libra ry, to which, through the acquaintance of my aunt, she had allowed mc free access Perceiving my fondness lor books, and perhaps something of my habitual reserve, she strangely conceived the idea that I Susaa Smith I, the plain, awkward, uuintercsting, unnoticcable little nobody of a öusan dimtn, was "literary. And so she iuvited mc. When I finally found myself in the spacious saloons of Mrs. Burton's, surrounded by beauties and witching graces, I admit feeling somewhat of a pang. I gare vjjself up to the dreaming that would come amid the soft vague ripple of beauty that surrouuded mc. Gradually my philosophic ppitU gained the ascendency over the imaginative. The vague clouds of ribbons, muslins, and pretty faces, together with the darker and taller forms in the background, became more tangible. I bccariie consciov:? that I was sourrounded by human beingsj that I had an excellent opportunity for my favorite pursuit the study.of human nature. I soon became edified and amused in watching the course cd divers little flirtations and manoeuvres, on the part of partics of both scxc3. Yonder was a tall, dark-eyed, fine-looking young gentleman, who 1 soon perceived was quite a lion among the fair ones. All the artillery of dimples, blusbcs and pink ribbons was skillfully employed by ths respective proprietors thereof, to storm the fortress. And he he was smiling, affab'c, gallant, und by no means deficient in the use of weapons of his own. Yes, he was decidedy tnc ceutrc-picccs of the picture the . h' f tllP ,--. As f.,r helles " r o v- - y i thrrn tvrrn tttn rr ihrp f nftftrlin fnr Inf ascendency, and whether the cn-j of the L.U tri.iTnr.r.l Tn n.srrrtnlnr.l hv tl.fl flt. tentions of the superb Captaia Sunderland. i : . j . : The blue eyes of the lair Miss hlla French gleamed more tenderly, or the sparkling black ones of her rival flashed more brilliantly from beneath tho long, dark lashes, as Captain Sunderland's low terns were addressed tothe first or the last Indeed, the divers feats of diplomacy among both the brighter constellations of tho evening and tho lesser lights, were not uolik6 thoso of the political world

So I amused myself in watching the course of things till my eyes fairly ached with the dazzle, and I betook myself to a few gilded volumes which graced a table, to catch breath a little it! my natural clement. I turned over a fdw leaves, tc.-td a few verses of Tennyson, and raised my head to encounter was I walking? had I net slipped into dreamland, rtinid the bright whirl around mc? No, awake, in the full possession of my senses. I encountered the gaze of those large black eyes of Captain Sunderland fixed admiringly upon mc. Thauk fortune! I always had strong nerves! so I did not faint, but kept on the even tenor of my way. I beheld the gentleman turn, seek out and address Mrs. Buitjii ; that lady replied, glanced at me, and in onothcr moment the two had advanced towards the corner where I sat, and "C iptaiu Sunderlaud" was introduced to "Miss Smith." Had the earth opened and swallowed us up, I could not have beeu more astounded. However, I had little time lor coujecturcs, as the gentleman seemed desirous to enter into immediate conversation. "An excellent party ! Mrs. Burton was a very interesting lady a superb lady ! quite intellectual, too! I was an old acquaintance of hers, was I not? Was I

fond of attending soirees?" 'Was not much in the habit of attending soirees. "Ah, he suspected I was fond of intellectual pursuits ? He honored my choice ! did not himself find satisfaction in these light frivolous amusements, lie was most happy to find sympathy in a higher grade of enjoyment," &.C. btrangc enough, the gentleman persisted in remaining by my side during the rest of the evening, as much to the astonishment of the fair rivals as my own, and not a little to their chairrin. And so, when I had at last established myself iu my chamber for the night, it was only to puzzle my braiu with vain con jectures as to whether the conduct of my sudden admirer was due to some sudden pique of his own, to a disgust for the vauities of the world, or to my own (possible) charms. It was only a few days after the soiree, when, as I sat in our parlor, reading the newspaper to my uncle and aunt, we were startled by a loud double knock at the door. In a lew moments our maid-servant announced Captain Sunderland ! "A ! my dear Miss Smith I do excuse mc ! Have I too much assurance in hoping that you still retain tbe lamtcst remem brance of vour cavalwr cf Wednesday evening : Now, I was sure I did not know what to Buy to all this. So I only assured hint to the best of my abilities that I recollected him, and invited him to sit down. I fancied he looked somewhat astouished on being ushered into our plain little parlor, -and I am sure my uucleand aunt did, a.s I introduced them. Captain Sunderland was exceedingly polite and affable, and conversed in quite a charming manner. Nevertheless, I thought I could sec his eye take in the homely details of the room, aud ofiuyown lout cns'-mllr, aud a haif-scornful look play about his mouth. However, I didn't care iu the least, since I had long ago made up my mind that the Fates did not intend I should have a beau, and I had bcccmc submissive thereunto; so that if I ever did have any, it was so much clear gain, aud if they lelt, no loss ! My uncle and aunt were, apparently, not a little amazed as they seemed slowly to comprehend the idea that the handsome visitor was my -wn ! Captain Sunderland was literary. "Tennyson was his favorite, and ho suspected, mine also. Did he not discover mc looking over a volume of that poet, at Mrs. Burton's?" ,lI had looked into it comcwhat. Still I could not say that Tennyson was my favorite of favorites. I was not particularly fond ofthat class of writers, I liked those of the Coleridge and Wods worth ctanni better." Captain Sunderland bowed. "He ad mired my taste. Coleridge and Wodsworth were also favorites with him. How did I like Byron ?" I ''confessed to little admiration for him." Captain Sunderlaud "was not pleased with him." I acknowledged, iu the main, niorc in terest in prose than in poetic writers. In fact that 4I loved history." Captain Sunderland was immediately passionately fond of history, lie declared "Gibbon's History of England" to be a most masterly production worthy comparison even with "Caesar's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire' Oh, how I screwed up my lips to suppress a smile ! I confess to feeling decidedly tricked, and determined to lead him into deeper waters. But you would grow weary, dear reader, and your heart perhaps would ache with pity, were I to reizte all the perambulations of my unfortunate literary admirer. And how he finally rose, with an air of great satisfaction, and took his leave, delighted with the insurance of my com pany for the following evecing to visit the opera. I like mysteries ! I like fun, too, as we'll as pretty girls, notwithstanding my plain appearance. Moreover, I wa- quite sure I had not spent a more edifyiug afternoon for a long time; also, 1 was naughty enough to rejoice in tho chagrin of tho fair belles. So, all things considered, I was bound to keep It Up as long as I could . Matters now progressed at an astonishing rate. I attended operas, concerts, lectures, aud whatnot, with the attentive and gallant Captain Sunderland. A new world was opened before me. Contact with real, active, outward lifo invigorated me. I saw with toy own eyes, heard with my own cars, what before 1 had only read and imagined. And all this, had my gab laut been a noble, whole-souled man, with thoughts aud feelings of his own, 1 don't know what accident might havd befallen ray heart. I wouldn't have been answerable for tho consequences. Fortunately, or unfortunately, (which shall 1 say, dear matron ?) he was a mere cipher so I kept my cquilbirum, while the devotion of my admirer, and the mystery of the wholo affair cootioucd to increase.

however, was no end Vj the matter. Thci' fortress of my heart was now immediately bcieged, or rathnr stormed, with n timerl i . ' ous ticseccninir. sentimental, nassionate. c." ' a piuk-p.ipcr missives. All my philosophy was put to the rot!. He seemed to be in earnest really, desperately in earnest. But at last at lat a change came oe'r the spirit of the dream. The missive ceased Captain Sunderlaud came not sent no message ! I met him in the street, and he knew mc not. Would there ever bo an end of mysteries ? The transition was quite like a calm following a ston?j. Still I wondered wondered and might have wondered in vain to the present day, had not a circumstance occurred by which the whole mystery ttp.s vnravclled. One day, young Mr. I rank j'u'Icr called to settle some busiuess transaction with my uncle. It so happened that this gengentlcmcu was out, and consequently Mr, rrauk condescended to amuse himself with mc until his return. He :nquired how I enjoyed the soiree, and finally, with a mis chievous look, "how I liked Captain Sun derland ?" I suspected something from his manner, and immediately begged him to olvc me the strange riddle. . Mr. Frank instantly burst into an uncontollablc fit of langhter, which he seemed to enjoy exceedingly. When he had recovered sufficiently to be able to speak, "Miss Smith, said he, "I could describe a little scene of the evening, which you might be at liberty to interpret as you please." Oi Course I insisted upon hearing it. "Well, then, Captain Sunderland and his friend, Edward Ityder, were standing a moment together; you were looking over a book at the table, and another young lady at the opposite side was toying with an exquisite little volume. Edward whis pered (looking at the latter fair one) Wunderland, 1 tell vou she would be a fine bird to catch that one over there at the tabic :in only child, and )i?r father was worth fkd liundfttl thoüsaüd dollar?, they say. J hey separated, and 1 saw Captain Sunderland's eyes fixed admiringly on yourself I Is that satisfactory ?" It night to have been ; and of course I laughed heartily, though I did feel at first a little nettled. However, I found I had ga'iLcd some experience, besides the fun. So I have relapsed agaiil into an old maid, feeling doubly content with ry Jot Sow that 1 have had a "luvcr.;' Senator Wilson on Confiscation. We have heard a good deal during sonic time past about the sword ot Damocles hanging over the heads of the Southerners, and over certain high officials, intimidating them to do certain things and to abstain from doing certain others. The last we hear of this sword of Domocles is through our special telegram from Charleston, published yesterday, and comes from the distinguished Senator Wilson, who is l ! i1.-C..-i1. It.. !! ! stumping mc couu?. jir. nison m lus j second speech at Charleston, on Friday night last, told the white people that if they coerced the nogrocs not to vote for the Republican party, or attempted to punish them by turning them out of employment and their holdings for voting for that part', that would lead to confiscation, aud lie (Senator Wilson) would then vote for confiscating the property of men so offending. Now, wo think there has been quite enough of this suspended Word, rod, or confiscation, especially when used, as in this case, for partisan political purposes. Such talk is puerile, childish and altogether out of place. It is cVen worse than that it evinces a disposition to exercise tyranny over a people who arc bowed to the earth in political matters, and to make the condition of their restoration the support of a particular party. Besides, such threats are entirely unnecessary, as the reconstruction acts of Congress have laid down explicitly the rule of action for the Southern people, aad the condition ou which they may be restored. iV".

AH that used to be said of the demoralizing character of any connection of the finances and financial agents of the government with banks is now fully realized. The managers of the banks are everywhere cheek by jow! with the Treasury ageuts and depositories. The banks are often convenient to the so-ca lied off'co of the U. S. Treasury. In these high-priced times salaries of oßco do not afford luxuries, and people who handle large amounts of money have a wish for luxuries. Why should not the Government agents receive a share of the interest on the loan of the Government funds, especially as the Government gets none? Are men who labor for their couutry, aud whose political s'atus is unexceptionable, to be cxclucal s'atus is unexceptionable, to be exclu ded from all the chances of legitimate speculation ? Is all the profit from loans of Government funds to be divided among the stock-holders of the bank, who, alas in too many cases, as in the Selma Bank case the First National ofthat city never paid a cent for their stock? If the Government is generous tnofgli, I'esidts giving eighteen millions a year for the benefit of the Natiefia! bank currency, in the form of interest on the bonds given as security for thcit issue, to allow these banks the use of its deposits without charge, it is no reason wc officials should, in the cxer

in these not very scrupulous umc? , inw process ol reasoning is a natural and lomcal odc, and has probably prevailed elsewhere brides Selma. It is not a bad understanding, so far f.s the Government dcpositors are concerned. They have no risk. They have only exercised their discretion. If the bank should be badly managed, should ever trade, should expand oeyond its mcuns and suddenly encounter a crisis an tumble into ruin, it is not their fault. Alter all, too, the Government loses uo more thau other depositors. And is not the Government a proper person to lose through banks it has itself established and put into operation, and in whose favor it has enacted laws to extinguish all other banks, to exclude all competition with Its own jirnte.jrs? But the subject is far too large and pregnant to be disposed of in the brief space we can now command.

My letter must resume our new styles, though to tell the truth they have undergone very few positive changes. We are to have no steel underskirts, and, in fact, with the exception of bonnets there is little cf a radical change. The weather is fair and the new f;i?hions have had a good share of sunshine.

The Truth Well Told.

Hubert J. Walker, .i. m: ..: .. :... : ii: i t r i in im; ,'iisi."f ii'iii ta.c, uuilUTt'U UClOrO the United States Supreme Court, he said: "It was au act without a parallel in history, extending martial hw over 10,000,i0i of jK.-oplc, loyal and disloyal, of all races ;:nd colors, vesting unlimited power in a military satrap, substituting the glimmeriug sword and the glittering bayonet for the judicial tribunals. It lays the ax to the root of the elective franchise'.

Schofield ordered in Richmond.-that !J0f the six cars belonging tu the street railroad company, four of them should bö open to the general public, whites and negroes, while two sbould be set asido for the use of ladies, children and their attendants. The ladies' car is distinguished by a white wooden ball on the top. The way the negroes behaved in assuming theif newly made privilege is thus described by the Richmond (Va ) limes. It says : "The immense air assumed by most of gl,nic (f thcm sccmeil about to burst with thir eflorts to look hi - One fellow, in his determination to tc t the extent of his privileges, walked into a car and etrstched himscls lull length on the scats; büt herö the conductor tjok issue with him, and informed him that he should cither sit down or leave the ear. l'ompcy obeyed, but with a bnd grace. "The colored people are reported to be very much distressed that they are not allowed to ride in the ladies' cars, and it m said they ha'c determined that they will rid3 iu them, orders or no orders." We presume the next point will be tbe dictation by General Schofield, id accordance with the Northern Radicals' pressure, that the negroes shall ride in the ladies' cars as well as in the others. A Aovel Method f Pel4?ri ft JM'.-ivsitH. ttfftr. ttocf t?cf roit tribune. A felt -'lays .incc a ease was tried in ono of our jusi ice's courts, in which a ?oma?f sued a flour dealer to recover $14, tfib' price of a barrel of flour, which she alleged was of so poor a quality as to be unmerchantable. Upon the trial of the case sho swore that the flour was mouldy, that while it was being baked and partaken öf by herself, her hu-band and others, even in sm;ll quantities, it made them sick. The dealer iutroduced upon the stand A flour inspector who testified that the flour was a good article of "superior" brand, and he himself testified that it was the same as he had been accustomed to sell to his customers. After hearing the testimony on both sides, the justice, in order to deal justly with the aggrieved rafty, re quested the woman to take a qutntity of tho flour to his residence in order that his wife might make a trial of its quality by making it into bread, and reserved his decision until such trial was made. The flour was taken to his house, and without tcllinir his wife of the eirCümstaoee? of the case, hs requested her to bake two loaves of bread from it aud allow him to see them at nocn. Upon his return home, the bread had just been takfcn from' the oven, and the odor which aroSe from it had filled the whole house and was extremely nauseous and sickening. This convinced him that the story of the woman, which seemed improbable, was true, and he rendered judgment for the amount claimed in her lator. GrAtIfvi.no Cuange. One of tho most gratifying indications of the change in public opinion, which is going on, is the late municipal election in the city of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. This town, tho residence of Thaddeu Stevens, and the capital of the strongest Republican county in the Union, has just given a Pcraoeratio majority of 570, being a gain cf 240 6inco last fall. This is a pcble rebuke from his townsman of the äfclf Radical, which, as coming from that source, he can not bo indifferent to. If the change which ha taken plac? in Lancaster is an index of the State,- and it is fair to infer that it is, Pennsylvania is certain to go Democratic this fall. At the Paris Exposition it is said that a novelty will be on exhidition, in the shape of an artificial horse.

A horse like this must be a valuable acquisition, provided it can be bought cheaply as the nobler animal cf which it is a copy. What is tho greatest bet ever made The alphabet.
