She had antic ipitatcd -o much pleasure on meeting him, after hi-week"-ab-iei.ee. llow oltcn she had thought of it iu those long, lonely night-', when -he had only her child and her thoughts loi- ,0111 IMliv. It took hut a few minute- to nut -uper on the ,.n the table. Then she sat down door-step to watch for her husliand, worry ing all the time lc-'t he lctsoiucthing happen to Sammy. When at last he came, the ef fects of tlie liquor were wearing oft, and he ate his supper and smoked his pipe in sullen silence. She could not eat a mouthful, but she dared not let the tears came, for she knew tliat it would make him angry. So she fed Sammy, laying her face on his little liead once in a" while, to force Iiack the choking lump that kept rising in her throat. Then she hastened to rock him asleep, lc-t his fretfulness disturb his father. The first peep of dawn found her busily preparing breakfast, for she knew tliat John wanted an early start. The sound ef the coffee-mill woke him from his heavy sleep, and he lay quietly watching her by the light of the aim grease lamp, as she moved quick I v buck and forth from tabic to stove; rom tnence to the little row of shelie-, in lien ol'a cuplioard, setting on the dishes, watching the bacon, and taking the crisp corn-dodger from the otrn. "She is a dear, good wire," thought he; "what a scoundrel lvi-asto make her feel so badly." He knew that be bad been rough to lier the night before. He wished tliat be could re member what he said. Of coarse he never got dead-drunk, but lie wished tliat he ever conld let vvbiskv alone. His breakfast was just to bis liking, and his wife as cheerful as if he was the lst man in the world. He wanted to say some thing pleasant to break the awkward si lence, but be did not know bow to 1-egin. He lmd an uncomfortablo feeling that he ought to beg her itardon, but, being a man, of course he did not condescend to that. At length be began by saying : " You was right pcert aliont your brcakfa-t this morn ing, Xancy." "0!i, Tallowed most likely you'd want to get off soon," shennswered. "Yes, Jones wants ns there ag'in' sun-up. It's onlya fifty-log raft; reckon we can gct it down to I.eavenworth ag'in the night train starts, and I'll get right on, and be back to Atchi-on afore day. Don't catch me fwlin' nwav another day 'round that old fort." SERIES, VOL. XX. "Oh, John! I'm so proud" she paused abruptly, for bis eyes dropjicd with a look of conscious shame. What mood was he in ? Would it do to sneak then ? He had shored back from the ule, and there was a serious, i.tr-away 100 in Jus eyes, bat nothing sal len or forbiddin". She went around, anil dropping on her knees beside him, sliptd her amis about bis nock, saying: "Oh, John, I wish you'd promise me you'd never drink no moro whiskey." "Tliat's most too hard on a fellow ; but 1 11 promise not to not drink too much agJin," he answered. "lint I'm nfe.ireil that wouldn't do no good." "Yon talk like vou thought I hadn't scn- enough to stop vvhen IV got enough, if I try," he exclaimed. "Oil, John, don't talk so; vou know vou promisedjmc that nigh onto a'vear ago ; out you think you'll just take otic dram, and then just one more, and afore you know it, it's too much. Ifyou'd only promise now that you'd never taste nary dropag'in." Still he kept bis eves steadilv turned awav from licrs. " "Don't you mind now," she went on, "how your mother said one time, 'I reckon, Xancy, yon count John a mightv rough ehap, but he's all right at the core ;' and don't yon mind lmw she used to prav for you in them old times? Don't you mind tlicetenin' we heard her praying" down by the old spring? If she's watching you nmong the stars how proud she'd lie to hear yon promise. "And John,' she continued, dropping her voice to a w hisper, " I pray, too, sometimes. I haven't never tuld yoii, but I've been feeling right serious here of late. I've taken to readin' my Ihble, and I'e just made up my mind to lite Wtter'n I used to ; and pray lor you, too, and it seems like (iod bears "me."" And she laid her head on his shoulder to hide her tears. His arms slipped around her, but he still kept his eyes turned stubbornly away from hers. At last, laying his face against hers, lie spoke earnestly. "Yes, Xancy 1 prom ise." Presently, starting up, he exclaimed, "If 1 haven't stayed till plum daylight '" "Oil. John ! come and kiss lahy afore you go. he looks so sweet, bammy ! Sammy! wake up, honey, and kiss inppy." "llless his sleepy eyes 1 1'apny's little man! I'll bring him some candy when I come home ag'in."

The grounds that the lecturer claimed for the itniieachmentof the royal family from (h-orgo the First down to the present reigning sovereign were that they hate all proved themsehes unlit to gov ern, and have not added one iota to the pow er or glory of the English nation. L'lulcr the reign of the first George the bulk of the national debt wa- created, and the grant- to fraudulent companies and the general swindling transactions laid the foundation for the corruption which has gone on in the family from that day to this. The murals of thecourt were lax, 'and tho King made 110 hesitation iu asserting that George Augus tus was not hi- in, and refused to hold converse with him, and when be went to chaficl he went by one staircase and theson hy another.

Simeon Ba.-tt, the man who has made himself notorious this summer by sailing up and dovvn the lake in a " floating bat tery, felling liquor on the New York and Canada, Railroad, lias met with a violent death. Tho circumstances connected with the affair, as near as can be ascertained, arc as follows : Bassctt had been requested, by the men who had patronized him, to give up the business, as they could not resist the temptation to purchase liquor and ue it when it was within reach of them. Not heeding their request, the overseers on tho railroad then notified IUwett that un Icss bo abandoned tho business and cleared out, they should take measures to close up his business. Bassctt replied tliat he would "taie tht hr art's hltioH ot any one who in terfered with hi- business. On Friday, the 21th inst., lU-ssott left his boat on the Putnam side of tbo lake, in charge ol hU brother, and came over to batnuel Bryan's in Benson. During his absence a parly of men rode up to the boat, and, as the brother in chargo of the institution showed -himself, they caught hold of him, took him out and brought him on shore. They then took out several guns, pistols, etc , and set fire to the craft and burned it with what liquor there was on board. About this time Bas-ctt was returning by way of tho Hunt lot, and discovered his boat on fire. He took a boat belonging to Arunah Walker and went over to the scene of action, and rowing up within twenty feet of the patty of men near the burning boat, lie said, with a tcrrnblc oath, that he would "teach them not to burn his proper ty," and fired six pitol shots at then, w hereupon some one discharged a shot gun at him, the contents striking him in the legs, and one shot entering the body and piercing the bladder. They then let the brother go, and ho took Bassctt to the "red house " at the Bryan place, where he lingered till Sunday, morning last, when he died. Bassctt is tho same man who sold liquor to James Parsons, about four weeks ago, in consequence cj which Parsons got iutoxicated and fell into the lake and was drowned.
