The recital, whose substance I have
given, appeared to me at first clear ; and
conclusive, - I was persuaded of the gen
erosity of the sacrifice that Mile. Mer-J
quern had made to friendship, and it did
not occur to me to disturb Montroeer in
the pathetic kind of calm ' in ' wMch he
was enshrouded, and in which It seemed
a duty to bury quietly the few remains
of his long passion. On reflection, how,-
ever, the' matter appeared In" another
light. Alone, one evening, while wan
dering through the fields, I passed in re
view all the details of his ingenuous re
cital, and wax struck by the many objec
tions which entered into mv mind. Mon

of chivalry, had an underlying character

iu which he doubtless put full faith, and
which could not nave escaped the pene
trating eyes of Mile.Merqnem. This hand-
some, robust man, with his ruddy face.
his stout proportions, whose eyes had not
been hollowed nor his forehead wrinkled
by his," grand passion," could never
have been the ideal of a women as Intel-
ligent and as discriminating as Celie.and
I could understanstand very well that
she would " have ' recoiled with dismay
trom any command to marry him
' That she had a friendly regard for him
for the ake of his devotion to her, I was
still able to understand ; but that this
friendship had been lively or enthusias
tic enough to induce her to-make a vow
of celibaey,' that was what I' could not
admit. Montroger, while he forbade him
self to be toe Tjresnnlptious,cherished this
notion In the bottom of his heart. It was
pleasant for him to believe that" Celie,
cold in temperament, or beyond measure
in love with independence, had as great
an affection for him; morally and Intel-
lectually, as she was capable of feeling,
He was resigned, and accustomed to ask
nothing more of her.' His own freedom,
inch nothing prevented, and of which
he made a moderate and prudent but not
unsocial use, by no means cut off from
tscreet occasions of enlovment; the or
der established in his finances by this
lite or ordinary virtue; the consideration
in which he was held ; the good appetite
and the healthy sleep which he enjoyed ;
ttiese were his compensations for the
mortification of having failed to marrv
the woman of his choice. In others,
this mortification might have been fatal,
but he was nat one of those- who die of
grief. '- 1 -' " " '
we had certainly excited my pity bv
his frankness; but it was impossible for
me to be extremely sorry for his mis
fortune. I had been tempted to think

and with no real strength of character.
One point which had been lightly touch
ed upon in his story recurred to' my
memory as the culminating point of long
adventure,' It was the moment in which
Olie had aaid to him. ''Can you swear

seventy years old, and his great learning
was no suostitiite for the iovs ot the
heart and the family of which Celie was
deprived. ' She was learned also, the sa-
vans did not tire her, they bad . not the
time ; but a woman can not cut herself
off entirely from the need of living. She
had days Of sunering and of despair, or
at least hours of vague restlessness and
longing. He whom she had loved was
either dead or no longer worthy of her.
She was thirty, the age of passion and of
weakness.

The thought that it might not be hon
orable was dissipated on reflection. As
Mile. Mernuemliad so great a regard for
her liberty, as a sort of serious or fanci

her promise to jnontroger, what a series

hiin sav too much ; the mischief was done
before I had resolved to make any attempt
against him. .- A day would come when
he would not be content with this expla
nation, as plausible as it was. It would
be time enough then to think of cutting
each other' throats. The idea of justi
fying myself in my own eyes by the
sacrifice of my life did away with my
scruples. The more grave the probable
consequences of my resolution appeared,
the more legitimate seemed mv resolu
tion.
Soon after, as my aunt had some ladies 1
to take with her, he came for me to take
me in his carriage to the Sunday evening
reception at i.a omeiie. ' we had not
gone a mile before he asked me what re
flections had been awakened in me by the
recital of the history of his love.
"Aone at all," I answered a little ab
ruptly. "I consider it as one of those
cases which must be attributed to fatali
ty, since reason cauuot explain them."
" l hat is to say, you think me a fool tor
not being cured."
'You are not a fool, for you are per
fectly cured of yonr love, Iain sure; but
you have a scar left which you are in the
haoit of conhrmmg and tormenting; it
no longer an open wound, it is aii in
tellectual callousness which you make
in..oustacle to the Ireedom ot your
thoughts. If Mile." Merquem is the ser
ious persou that you describe, she will j
never change as respects you. Make her
frlcivlship, .a source of happiness then,
anil not a mere make-shilt, and, if it is
not impossible, recognize that you are the
victim of a blind fatality."
"That is exactly it, mv dear friend. I
am the victim of a dream, the slave of a
fixed idea!"
"Ought a man of your age and merit, to
admit that ? To admit it is to accept it."
"The reproof is severe! I see that I
was wrong to open my heart to you
Why the devil did you question me?"
"liid l question you so niuchr'
"It seems to me that you did."
"Be that as it may, do not repent of
your frankness, if it results in procuring
good advice from me; will you not try
to follow it ?"
'If it is out of friendship that you give
it "
I do not know what vague suspicion he
was going to give utterance to, when his
horse, who was very fresh, shied at a dog
wliich was passing, and made a start,
which broke off the conversation. AVe
got out to readjust the traces, and, as we
were on the edge of a steep bank, the
servant made us remark, by showing us
the marks of the wheels, that ten inches
more and it would have been the end of
us.
Then it was mv turn to have a fixed
idea, and one which was really painful.
During all the rest ot the rule, m spite
of myself, I kept building up theories of
the eltect that our death would nave pro

she would have pitied my family and
nothing more, without ever thinking t hat

Cemeteries are of modern origin. One
of the oldest is Pere la Chase, near Paris,
the arrangements of which have been
generally followed in English - and
American cities. The death of the an
oints became so numerous at last that
the bodies were burned, and the ashes
preserved in urns, which it appears from
recent excavations had accumulated in
incalculable number. It is believed that
the fine burial grounds of the Turks, ex
tending over large tracts,and adorned by
cedars and other trees,suggested the pre
vailing plans of the Europeans. Our
places of interment are surrounded by
beautiful and elevating influences, deco
rated bv foliage and c flowers, monu
ments and statuary ,and always located in
the midst ot exquisite natural scenery
Greenwood, near New York; Mount
Auburn, Boston; Laurel Hill, Phila
delphia; Buenaventura, bavauuah, may
be called the patterns from which man v
have been copied, so that there is not a
considerable town, North or South, that
does not boast of one of these cities of the
dead. Among the most picturesque is
undoubtedly that founded by VV . vv
orcoran "Oak lull t emeterv," at
Georgetown, D. O. The marble pile
awaiting his own remains is a work of
onsiunniate majesty and symmetry
I'he plan is entirely different from that
adopted in other cemeteries. A series of
natural ravines have been handsomely
terraced 'and planted with shrubbery.
Xo railings are allowed around the dif
ferent lots, so that the wholo . presents

jo modem character possesses more
interest than .Stanton. The tinio has
lot come when his biography may be
iaitniiiiiv ami dispassionately written
Up to the rebellion he lived a lifcof sin
gular tranquillity. Discarding onlc
iui avoiding pontics, his ambition was
in the line of the law, in which he soon
became a giant. A close student, a clear.
compact logician, a bold and impetuous
advocate, his best powers were given to
his profession. Sought after, far and
near, and employed 111 most of the great,
cases, his reputation and large influence
in his native State ot Ohio and in his
iidopted State of ; Pennsylvania, assumed
national proportions when he removed
to the city of Washington. He towered
in the Supreme 'oiirt a leader of lead
ers. An authority of wide acceptation.
he was a genius of his school. Forced
finally into public position at the close of
liuchanan s administration, bis bearing
as Attorney General was so fearless and
conscientious that when General Cam
eron yeti rod from tle War Department,
popular opinion pointed Jiiin out as the
fittest man for that rcsponsiblo post,aid
when President Jdncoln selected Jiini,
the whole country cried Amen,
I knew him well. Long before his
name was cited in the catalogue of great
lawyers, I met and learned to love him,
wonuereii at his mind, anil gathered in
struction from his counsels. He had
strong convictions. He hated slavery
from the start, .hough co-operating
with the Democratic party. Once he
was sent to Columbus as a delegate to a
Young Men's State Convention, and
when the chairman endeavored to dis
regard the sentiment to which the ma
jority were pledged, Stanton was in the
second ov third tier, and made several
ell'oi ts to ohiuiii a hearing, At i'lt he
caught the chairman's eye, and com
manded his attrntion by beginning his
speech as loiimvs : "i address you lo
day as the meanest man among the
thousands of voung men of Ohio whom
nn have nrffm nred to hetrav " "When
he accepted the portfolio of War Minis
ter it was in the spirit of the generals of
Cromwell's Puritan army. The first
thing he did was to put himself out of
sight. In the long catalogue of calum
nies heaped by bad men upon his hon
ored name, not even a suspicion of per
sonal ambition is found. They hated
lum because he loved his country be
cause that love was sincere, vigilant,
exacting. He was ronghin his manners
to those he had reason to believe corrupt,
but he wa9 sweet as summer to the poor,
the humble, and the brave. By his own
example he conquered. Asking nothing
for ldmself, lie refused everything to
others that was not just. After several
generals had tailed, 1 heard lum say,
more than once, "I will find a leader for
these armies, if he must be taken from
the ranks." The intensity with which
he was identified with his client's case
was in accordance with his intense de
votion to the Republic. I have seen him
more than once order back the laggard
to camp in tones of stern rebuke, and
immediately afterward take the mother
of a private soldier by the hand and
cheer her for the loss of her son. Utter
ly regardless of social pleasure, he had
110 hope, no object, no time but for the
cause. He worked harder than any of
his subordinates, and stayed longer in
his department. It was astonishing how
this man, who had never participated in
party warfare, comprehended the politi
cal situation. Fertile of suggestions, he
was a mine of information to an editor.
He thought quickly and wrote strongly. ,
He would give a key-note for a cam-!
paign, which, sounded in the columns
of a newspaper, would thrill a conti
nent. He was no respector of persons.
Frequently, to prove his impartiality, he
reproached his nearest friends when he
feared they were faltering. He studi
ously abstained from public speaking.
His reports were brief, but clear aim
cogent; his letters few and simple; lus
gazetts announcing a victory were
marked by all the Ovenanter's fire. I
reproduce that in which he promulgated
the decisive victories of Grant before
Richmond:

THE IVE.HOI R MOVEMENT
IN
ENULAND. .
BY A. R. MORGAN.
The magnitude and importance of the
influence which trades unions exert over
the acts and interests of the workingmen
are being f reshfy illustrated 111 England
by the long continued strike of the en
gineers or drivers of stationary engines
at Xew Castle. More than three months
ago this strike began. A diminution of
the number of working hours, to be ac
companied by no diminution in pay
was demanded of the masters. This was
refused in decided terms. It was appar
ent that the proposition involved an in
crease 01 wages per hour to each individ
ual, as well as the necessity ot employ
ing a larger number of men in order to
prevent any decrease in the usual rate of
production. ine proprietors declined
to hold any personal communication
with the Xine-Hour League or its repre
sentatives, but referred the strikers to a
firm of solicitors, whom the workingmen,
in their turn, as resolutely refused to
meet. The employers found it iiupossi
ble to procure English operatives and
were compelled to seek among the na
tives ot other countries. in this they
met with considerable success. Scotch
men, Belgians and Russians were indn
ced to come to Newcastle to work on the
old terms, and they showed that they
could fill the places of the strikers in a
satisfactory manner. To the trades
unions, however, the apiiearance of
these foreigners was, not unnaturally,
exceedingly unpleasant, and they atonce
set about driving them away. Every
sort of annoyance and persecution, which
is not m terms forbidden by the law
was resorted to without hesitation or
scruple. So many of the foreign opera
tives were thus compelled to go away
that the masters fonnd it necessary to
protect those bold enough to remain by
affording them . temporary residence
either within the works or very iiear
them. According to the English jour
nals, even those who are thus housed
have been constantly exposed to brutal
and dangerous assaults from the mem
bers of the trades unions.
We learn that more recently the strik
ers have been exceedingly successful in
persuading the foreign employes volun
tarily to depart, by representing that it
was the intention of the proprietors to
retain them but a short time : and that
while their action in accepting employ
ment was of serious Injury to the British
workingmen, it could not result in any
permanent benefit to themselves. The
latest, telegraphic reports represent that
the relations between the masters and
men continue as hostile as ever. It
asserted that the London Times approve
the position which has been assumed by
the trades unions against the foreigners
a position, however, which seems to 11
so far as can be judged from the detailed
accounts which have been received
this country entirely unjustifiable.
1 he engineers ot Newcastle, like all
other workingmen of whatever particu
lar pursuit, have an unquestionable right
to reiuseto work except tor certain fixed
wages, and to enlorcc their refusal by
discontinuing nil labor until their de
mand is complied with; but inouropin
ion it is just as questionable that they
have no riglit whatever to interfere with
the employment, of other laborers who
are ready and willing to work tor smaller
hire. This opinion is sustained by the
law ot r.ngiiind, under which coerciv
measures of the character under discus
sion are punishable by civil and criminal
proceedings.
A very interesting feature of this strike
is the fact that the oiler of the proprie
tors to refer all the mutters at Issue be
tween themselves and the operatives to a
vote by ballot among the latter was de
clined by the leaders, although they lie
long to a class which is most urgently in
favor of the adoption of the ballot in place
of the existing system of voting in Eng
land. It indicates a want of that unity
of sentiment, wliich is usually supposed
to characterize such movements, and
suggests tjiat theircicrgy and persistence
may be largely dne to ti'e active general
ship of a few strong minds.

Result of a Recent Exploration of 1
tne Baltic.
The German Correspondent says the
steam advice-ship Pomerania returned
from her cruise in the Baltic on August
24. After running from Stockholm to
Gothland, she anchored, July 20, in the
harbor of Wisby, a little town which
lies among the ruins of the ancient
churches and the towers and fortifica
tions of an earlier age. The Pomerania
sailed eastwards till she approached the
Russian coasts, and afterward returned
to Gothland, and from thence to Memel.
She crossed the deepest part of the Baltic
in three different directions, steamed
along the Prussian coast to Dantzic, and
then examined the Baltic between the
coasts of Pomerania, Gothland, Oeland
and Rugen. After calling at Stralsund
she rounded the Cape of Arkona in Ru
gen, and passed to the west along the
coasts of Pomerania, Mecklenburg and
Holstein. During the whole of these
journeys, soundings were carefully ta-
journeys, soundings were carefully ta- j
ken, "the bottom dredged, the surface and
deep-water currents observed, and the I
temperature of the water at the surface j
and at some depth, as well as the propor-1
tion ot salt it contained determined.
The results Of these observations will be I
published after they have been subjected
to proper scientific examination. The
greatest depth of the Baltic between
Gothland and Windau was found to be
720 feet, not 1,000, as was formerly sup
posed. At the depth of from 600 to 720
feet the water was, at the end of July,
very cold, the thermometer giving from
y, to 2 degrees R. No plants were found
at this depth, and only a few specimens
of one or two species of worms were
brought up with the clay and mud.
The cold probably prevents fresh-water
animals from living at such a depth,
hile the small quantity of salt wliich
the water contains renders it unfit to
support sea animals. Animal life abounds
from the surface to about 300 feet below
while plants were seldom found at a
depth of more than 60 feet. The Baltic
supplied with salt water by the .Katte
gat, through which a deep water current
flows into the Baltic, while the DracKisn
water, which is lighter, streams into the
.North sea by a surface current, in tne
part of the Baltic which lies to the west
of Rngen, the difference between the
brackish water of the surface and the
salt water of the depths is far morestrong-
ly marked than in the eastern basin, and
consequently a number of animals and
plants are to be found in the lormer
which are entirely absent in the latter
part, where the water contains a com-
parativeiy smau percentage 01 saiu 1

found to be most abundant on the coasts

000,000 leet, so tnat in that year alone ;
there must have been cleared 800,000 i
acres, or an average of 2,500 acres a day.
Even at this rate we should use up 12,-

other and not less serious phase of the

the keeping up of the timber supply by

The cholera which comes through
Northern Persia and Central Asia gener

travels up the Persian Gulf and the Red
Sea almost invariably comes from Bom.

Cholera has always pursued these
great routes, but sometimes doubles back
on itself. Thus the disease has been car
ried by ships down the Island of Mau
ritius, and thence to Zanguebar, on the
eastern coast of Africa, whence it has
been transported by slave ships up to
Muscat on tne Persian uuit, ana irom
there down to Bombay.
in tne China opium war the disease
was carried by English troons from Cal

Russian caravans from Orenburg congre

veyed to Orenburg, thence down toKhiv,
Bokhar, Balk, Caoool, and thence down
the river Indus into India.
The cholera of 1831 was conveyed from
England down to Spain, Italy, the Medi

The cholera of 1832 forced its way from
Canada along the St. Lawrence and the

1849 reached New Orleans first, and then
traveled up the Ohio and Mississippi riv

losttcr and tb Republican Party.
BY . W. FABOR.
Labor is asserting itself. It is no long
er stationary. In one place strikes, in
another conventions, in another labor
reform parties, in another demonstra
tions on the street, with thousands of
men in the line of procession. These are
not casual ebullitions, momentary spasms
of excitement, to be followed by the in
ertia of years. They indicate a deep and
wide spread purpose, irom wnicn mere
is to be no divergence; that the time has
fullv come for the workingman to dem-
strate his value to society, and the share
of profits that of right belong to him.
tie says the leading question with mm
is, "Who thinks as he does ?" What po
litical party will assist him in bringing
about that change in the relations of cap
ital and labor which will be perfectly
fair and equitable to both parties ? The
Democratic party offers inducements to
him to enter its ranks; but it so wedded
to the past, so concerned with its old
traditions, so hostile to anything that has
the name of reform, that all liberal as-
pi rations and impulses would have to be
abandoned as soon as formed, and the
day cf deliverance from present evils be
indefinitely nostnoned.
The nartv of nrooreKS. of new ideas, of
reform, of the elevation of all classes, is
the Republican. How any laboring
man, after the record the Republican
party has made for itself the last decade,
in the protection of industry and the
profitable returns it has secured, can
vote the Democratic ticket, 18 beyond a
rational explanation. The astonishing
rapidity with which the industry of the
country emerged irom the late war is
sufficient proof of the capacity of the par
ty to rule the country for the interest of
all classes. It was a triumph for which
the workmen particularly should be
thankful. Has not labor been in great
demand at all times since? In the fac
tory, on the farm, in the workshop, in
all departments of labor, there was and
is a sufficiency of work to be done, and
the men arewanted to do it. The rate
of wages has been comparatively high.
Farmers never paid more for "their
hands" than they do at this time. Ma
sons, carpenters, shoemakers, tailors,
dsc, are receiving wages beside which
what was paid before the war stands in
beggarly contrast. Cases of oppression
there may have been, but these have
sprung out of the cupidity of the em
ployer. The Republican party is a party
of high and lofty aims. It was formed
to raise the lowly, and It is true to its
mission when it extends a helping hand
to struggling labor. It recognizes the
justice of tne laborer 8 plea, and It Will
not stoD in ita career until the iniustice
of which he complains will be remedied
- . . r . - I
ana ms grievances be redressed. To
that end the co-operation and vote of ev
eay workingman is needed, and the day
will not be distant for its glorious frui
tion. DEVICES OF AITTl'lfim . LEAVES.
An exquisite transparency may be

narrow strip of uaper under the ribbon
The binding should De gummed all
around the edge of the first pane, and
dried before the leaves, ferns etc., are ar-
ranged : then it can be neatly folded over
the second pane without difficulty
To form the loop for hanging the
transparency, paste a binding ot galloon
along the edge, leaving a two men loop
free in the centre, afterward to be pulled
through a little slit in the final binding.
These transparencies may either be hung
before a winaow or, 11 preierrecl, they
may be secured against a pane in the
sash.
In halls a beautiful effect is produced
by placing them against the side-lights
of the hall door. Where the sidelights
are each of only a single pane, it is well
worth while to place a single transparen
cy against each, rilling up tne entire
pane, thus affording ampte scope for a
free arrangement of ferns, grasses and
leaves, while the effect 01 the light pass-
ing through the rich autumnal colors is
very fine. Leaves so arranged will pre-
serve their beauty the entire winter.

NUMBER 14.
REVOLUTION IN ENOLA9ID.
Schemes of the Republicans--An In
terview with the British Train.
Bradlaugh, the leader of the English
radical Republicans, has divulged to a
World correspondent the plans and ex
pectations of his party. He fully expects
to lie Preeident of the British Republic
in 187C. He states that he is ouly afraid
the crisis will come too soon that he is
strong enough to pull down the monar
chy, but not strong enough to erect 011
its ruins a republic. According to
Bradlaugh, there are two great move
ments of which he is the head one is the
Republican movement, the other the free
thought, secular or infidel movement.
The infidels are not all Republicans,
however. There are now in Great Brit
ain sixty-eight avowed Republican clubs,
with an aggregate membership of 30,000
men, and it is estimated that there are
75,000 ardent Republicans in the
kingdom, outside of the in
fidel Republicans. There is no
central organization to govern these
associations, but Bradlaugh seems to be
held as the leader. The Republican
strength is made up of artisans mainly,
and almost wholly in towns, as "noth
ing can be done with the agricultural
class." Bradlaugh, however, asserts
that the farmers will make no trouble
when the revolution comes. He hopes
that the revolution may not come until
1876,but says it may be precipitated at any
moment by the deatli of the Queen, for
instance, or by her being officially de
clared incapable of longer exercising her
duties by reason of mental alienation.
The Republicans will not permit a re
gency; they will have none of the disso
lute, spendthrift line of princes to rule
them. The republic must be proclaimed.
The revolution need not be a violent one.
Parliament is all-powerful. What one
Parliament has done another may undo.
The reigning family holds the throne,
but not by what is called "divine right,"
but by virtue of an act of Parliament.
Parliament may repeal this act, and the
republic be set up peaceably ; but should
it not, it will be attained "by bloodshed."
Bradlaugh proposes to establish his re
public on an Infidel basis, having no
written constitution ; tnere is positively
to be no such thing as Divine sanctions of
law; the idea of any authority higher
than man himself, which may give laws
to man, is to be abrogated ; whatever laws
are framed are to rest on the authority of
the majority for the time being,and not on
any idea that a Supreme Being has or
dained certain principles of action with
which these laws are 111 harmony. Edu
cation is to be wholly secular, divorced
from all idea of duty to God. Further,
Bradlaugh hints that agrarianism the
division or the lands among the peopi

The False Education
of
Daughters.
BY CLARENCE J.
The English nobleman who sends to
Paris for his daughter's dresses Is reas
onably certain that he, and his daugh
ter's husband after him can continue
sending to , and that in the training of
his child he is fostering 110 habit which
cannot be rightfully indulged in. The
American knows, if he knows anything,
that the habits of luxury in which his
child is reared unfit her for the duties of
the life to which she will in all likeli
hood be called that he cannot hope that
his family wealth will long survive him,
any more that his daughter will love a
man to whom that wealth will be unim
portant. Experience and observation
alike tell him that wealth in this
country rarely continues in a family
three generations, and that at any time
he may find himself a poor man again.
Yet he regulates his life and that of his
children as if his wealth and theirs were
assured forever, and as though the hab
its of a lifetime were to be broken like
wisps of straw. His daughters are not
fit to marry any but the rich men they
experience so much difficulty in finding,
ana a man ot moderate means is caret ui
to avoid asking them to change their
habits of life. There are few sadder
pictures than the one we see when some
such woman of braver heart than most
of her sex chooses the portion of a poor
man's wife and seeks to adapt herselt
