THE PRESIDENT'S TRIP. The May trip of President Harrison, which is being planned, should include Use south as far as possible, not for any political moon, bat tor tho rawon that we believe good will com© of it. ture sure he would receive a warm welcome in the south. It has been the desire of many southern cities and communitiw*, in fact we may say all of them, to see and bear the voice of the chief magistrate of the nation, no difference how much they may differ from his political views or principles. We believe that the chief magistrate of so wonderful a nation and people ehooki feel it incumbent upon him, as the ruler of all the people, to ap pear among them at some period of hip official term, and make manifest his interest and pleasure at the progress and development of the different sections of the country. Such an exhibition oi interest in the wi fare of all sections of the country, awl taking personal note of the advanceme|r and progress, would undoubtedly do uiucl toward allayii sectional feeling, and i» its stead, build up a feeling of communit} of interest. Any people have a natfir^ desire to see and entertain the man wh is their chief ruler, notwithstanding radical difference in politics may^ exiM. we are persuaded from a knowledj|SI*oi the south, that President Harrison woul receive an ovation in that section as thr chief magistrate, and the^p#j*ple an anxious to have a visit from^film, atd the honor of entertaining^jSm. The} desire that he shall witness' with bi own eyes bow the^raRte places oi the war are built tip, how citiw Jiaro been erected, how its great mine* have been developed, witness its biasing forges, hear th* hum of its busy machinery and note on every hand the genera^apd phenominal advancement whicfflflWttended that section of our common country. The couth would feel honored in such a visit and would not fail to show its appreciation of a call from the president of thb whole country Thb Nbwb would be willing to guarantee the president a warm and hearty wel came by the people in all the cities of tho "New South."

TERRE HAUTE

dure' lie said so, and nothing made him more angry fctyan for some rudoly unsympathetic pcraou to express a doubt concerning his wretched condition. His, troubles were not of a physical nature lie could have endured anything of that sort and always worn a smiling face. He said his misery was of a mental eharaoter still it made him excited to tell him It was all In his miQd. "Had you met Beckenham Wythe on the street, you would havo seen at a gfUhce that he was a miserable man. He did not wear crape, but he did wear the mofct dejected countenance ever seen on human being. Tho pensive look in his eyes denoted sorrow, the drooping corners of his mouth denoted melancholy, the downward twist of his short, red inustacho denoted woe, tho sharp point of his chin denoted a piero* ing grief, the staggering cast of his thin nose denoted shattered hopes, and the wild disorder of his long hair gave him an aspect of utter despair. Even about his clothes there was an air of misery and still he was a tailor! He was always followed by a most wretchedlooking dog, that sneaked along with its head down and its tail between its legs, and seemed to be continually regretful it was alive.

People carefully turned out for Mr. Wythe upon the street and shivered as he passed, or looked after him with sad sympathy. People who were laughing stopped with remarkable suddenness when their eyes fell upon him children avoided him, and—excepting his own wretched cur—even the dogs shied away from him and growled. Whenever he entered a pleasant room, he brought a cloud with him that shut out the sunshine, and it was little short of torture to listen to the melancholy droning of his voice. It was torture if one was forced to endure it a great while.

Mr. Wythe was shunned in the house where he boarded, and Mrs. Spriggs, the landlady, said she would not keep him if he were not such remarkably good pay, and did not stay in his room bo much when he was at the house. Ho seldom spoke of any tiling but his own misery, and the most trivial things added to the mountain of woe beneath which he was traried.

Now, Beckenham Wythe was a man who had isoured on women as on everything else. It was little wonder, for women are not usually attracted to such woebegone beings as Mr. Wythe, and they were not apt to return smiling glances for his sour ones. Tho women and girls who worked for him in his little shop usually had as little to say to him as possible, and he repaid them by only speaking to them in an unusually unpleasant manner—as if his customary manner were not bad enough!

Next to Mr. Wythe's boarding-house stood a little white cottage which had been purchased by a widow. The widow seemed to be an exception to the usual run of women, for sho sat at tho window and smiled at Beckenham as he passed with liis dog skulking along at his heels. At first he paid no attention to it, but tho widow persisted, and he was obliged to notice her after time. But he thought she was making sport of him, and he returned her smiles with his most sour glances. Still the widow was not daunted, for she retained her position at the window and continued to smile upon him.

Homely old thing!'' exclaimed Mr. Wythe to himself. "Skinny neck and

The tridow courage waa wonderful, far during foar long weeks sbe filled to be at lb* window day by day when Mr. Wythe passed, and ab* eontinned to swap h*» smile* lor his sour looks. It was not long befor* he found huoaelf vttabte to paw the Httie white eottaf* without looking for the widaw, and, although be did not know It, be weald bava been terribly iitbebad felled to bt s* bar port Ip Ibe window.

The wfckrw bad a pet oat thai wa* destined to add a «t8I greater misery ta Beckenham Wythe life. One day hi. 4ofpmMdtlwoitt01itnai^fttne, InstaaiSy tbe widow appear ad in tbe peateatocKeera far th* safety be* pel. Sbe rwaiedoalaittbedoor.erytng s&ri% totliedxc: "Go wior, air, go :wa$S, 0&,b* w3l sbooi Oowayr*

Colling hU do#, ho moved n\vtty lOwn the Ktroot, limping slightly, and looking more mlftombl* Mid (injected than usual.

For several dnys niter this, Beckenham did not glauce toward the widow's cottage ns he pawed, but when he did venture to steal a look toward it, ho found the widow at the window smiling upon him as before. However, he fancied there wax a regretful tuidneas about her smile. "She's not such a very bad-looking woman after all," he told himself. "Indeed, the more I see of her the better sho looks. Sho has a plump figure, for all of that thin neck. Sho might make a good wife fcr some man, but a man with so many troubles as fall to my wr« hed lot has no right to get married."

Ana for several days after arriving at this decision, he was still more dejected than ever, If such a thing were possible.

One day a* he was passing the cottage, the widow eame running round the corner and caught him by the arm in tho greatest excitement. "Oh, sir, do,#omo quick!" sho cried. "She has fallen into the water and is drowning! You must save her! Quick, or it will be too late!" "Some ono drowningexclaimed Beckenham, the natural chivalry of his nature aroused. "Lead the way! I will save her, or perish In the attempti"

He followed the widow around tho cottage till they camo to a hogshead, half sunken iovthe ground, nnd used for the purpose of catching rain-water to use for washing purposes. The hogshead was half 'full of water, and in the water the widow's pet. kitten was swimming round and round, vainly seeking to esoape.

Beckenham uttered an exclamation of amazement and disgust. "Is that what you want me to ressue?" he demanded. "Oh, yes, yes!" replied the widow, clasping her hands in agony, and looking at him appealiugly. "Save her, and I will do any thing in my power to repay you—any thing!"

He could not resist such an appeal as that, so he hung himself over the sideof the hogshead and reached down for the kitten. In some way he lost his balance and fell into the water head first. Then

"H-H-HEBB SUORE-e-C-COJTFOUJTDED CAT!" the widow showed her heroism, for she caught him by the heels and dragged him out. He had seized the unfortunate kitten, nnd clung to tho nearly drowned creature as he stood up and gasped for breath, looking more miserable than ever before in all his life. Finally he managed to gurgle: "H-h-hero shore c-c-o-confounded cetl"

Sho clasped the dripping ldtten to her breast, and thanked him again and again so effusively, and expressed such regret for what had happened, that his anger disappeared, and he came nearer smiling than he had for ten years.

It was about two weeks after this that Mr. Wythe acted so strangely that his assistant cutter ventured to ask him what the matter waa. Beckenham drew him aside and whispered in a very confidential manner, hut loud enough for every one in the shop to hear him, that he was engaged to be married. This proved a thunderbolt for those who knew him, and they wondered who it could be ho was going to marry, but he made no bones of telling she was a widow, and ft very plump and handsome one at that. For all of the happy prospect, Beckenham did not lose his air of melancholy, although his appearance of dejection seemed to pass away in a measure.

At length th wedding occurred, but the vary pest rnor^tn Rafter tho event Beckenham appeared at the shop, looking ten-foH more miserable and wretched than ever before In all hla life. When his cutter asked him the cau»e of the sudden and unexpected change, bo confided to him that Ms "plump and handsome** wife had literally 'taken herself all to pieces,M from her false teeth and hair, to the paddiegthatgare her the plump appearance, The shock had quite unnerved him. and be was tortured by the suspicion that she had thrown the kitten Into the hogshead of water for the express purpose of tolling him into her clever matrimonial trap, which she bad baited with smiles. "He is happy again," said tho cutter, aside, "for he has now acquired a genuine miser? that will be continually 'Yankee Blade.
