MAUD RAYMOND'S LOVE.
'.-. : - - CDAPTER I- ..
Mnd Raymond sat alone in her newly
furnished parlor.; The soft, mellow light of
the chandelier fell upon a face, not strictly
beautiful, but very pleasing in its . bright
womanly loveliness; and there was a light
in the large, brown eye, and a smile opon
the small mouth, that drew one irresistibly
towards her. Though simply dressed, it
needed no tery penetrating eye to gness
that the few rich ornaments, that the deli
cate lily of the valley wreath, that rested
amid her glossy curls, and the pretty broach
that fastened ber delicate collar were all
to please the gaze of a lover.
A lover 1 a laggard one, certainly; for the
little French clock, which stood npon the
marble mantel, had already chimed, the
honr of nine, and still he had not come.
A flush of mingled hope and fear dyed her
fair cheek, as she counted the weary mo
ments. 'When will he come? she said, half aud
ibly; and pressing her band upon her heart,
as it to still its wild beating, she rose from
her eeat, and walked the floor in agony. .
Aga:n, and yet again, the little clock
chimed forth the honr, ten eleven; - and,
as the last silvery stroke died away, Maud,
with an impatient gesture, brushed away
the bitter tears that filled her eyes a cold,
stern look settled upon her face; and, mnr-
mnring. 'He will not be here to-night
she sadly, and, with a wildly-beating heart,
left the room. .
AH the next day she sat, silent and atone,
In her little boudoir. She could not sum
mon resolution to go out; perhaps there was
a faintbope in ber bosom that he might call;
but, if so, she was agaio doomed to disap
pointment. It was about noon, when a let-
ltr was placed in her hand, directed in a
familiar cbirography; it ran thus:
Dear Maudi'Oaca mors, and perhaps
for the last time, let me call you by that
dear name: there is no harm in my doing so
now, for to-morrow's snn will probably see
me on my way to England. Maud, since
the first lime I met you. I have loved you
with my whole heart; how wildly, how
passionately, you may never know; but let
it pass; I must not speas ot it now. Uh,
darling, forgive me for my seeming thought.
lessneas; forgive me for what I am about to
write.
Long before I met yOu, I was betrothed.
by my parents, to Clare Leslie a gentle,
zirl. who loved me from childhood. We
were to be married as soon i . snouia nave
completed my travels, which would have
been weeks since, bad I not met yon, on
what I then intended should be my last day
in -America.- Yonr face - attracted me

I strove to forges it to banish it from my
mindj but I could not; and I have lingered

' expression of your dear face have

told vou I loved you. .....
Last evenina, I bad just finished a note
to Clara, telling her of my love for you, and
was preparing to visit you, when 1 received
letters, which have awakened me from my
dream of bliss to the full consciousness of
what I have been doing.
My parents write me that Clare's health,
naturally delicate, is fading fast and that
it is her wish to see me, and be my wife be
fore she dies.
Cm I refuse that request asked ; per
haps opou a bed of death and write to her
that I love another? -Were 1 to do so, ere
one month she would be lying in the cold
grave, and I should feel that I had placed
her there. .' .
Oh. Maud I God alone knows the agony
I have suffered for last eighteen hours; the
struggle has been very, very bitter, between

. JTHILIP VERB.
Mand read the letter to its close' with a
riid death-like look npon her face. When
she bad ioisbed it, she sat in silence for
some 'moments; and then, with a half-
smothered sigh, she seated herself at her
desk and wrote: ., - ,.

passionately, I will go on my way alone,

God bless and forgive you; as I do. ,'
Maud Raymond.
- And, as she finished writing, the noble
girl threw down her pen, and leaning ber
head upon her hand, sobbed convulsively;
No eyes but those of God and his angels
looked in npon her, as she knelt and pray
ed for strength in her agony; none knew of
the deep grief that had fallen so suddenly
npon her, crnshing and well-nigh breaking
her heart. - - ' -'' ":
Six weeks afterwards, she sat in her city
home, and read, in an i English paper, tbe
marriage of Philip -Vere and Lady Clare
Leslie. She did not weep; she did not faint
but, invoking a blessing npon them -both,
she turned away, with a sad smile, and
busied herself with the mannscirpts that
lay scattered upon her writing-desk.
: Y CHAPTER II. :
. Three years had passed away since Maud
Raymond sat in her room and read tbe mar
riage of Philip Vere., To her they had
brought both wealth and fame; she had
found pleasure in laboring for the good of
others; and if she was not bappy, she . had.
at least learned to be calm.
- Io.tbose years she had grown more beau
tiful; and among tbe many noble women who
adorned the higb circle of society In which
she moved the brightest ornament perhaps
none were more often sought in marriage
than this one loving woman. But for : all
suitors she had the same firm, yet gentle
no. . The world wondered; but none . knew
of the throbbing heart that beat so wildly
beneath the outward calmness; none read in
mournful songs, tbe sorrows wrung from sad
experience.
And how had time dealt with Philip
"Vere? To him those three years had
brought much of sorrow.. Shortly after his
arrival in England, his parents bad both
die4. His wile be had loved not as he
loved Maud but more than he had once
thought possible; indeed, she was so gentle,
go saint-like, that he could not have done
otherwise. For one brief year she linger
ed by his side, and then with his dear name
upon her lips, she too, died, and they laid
her to rest in the silent tomb. And did the
face of Maud of loving, Maud never
come to his mind in all those years? Yes.
Many times and oft he had thoughtof her;
sod it was ner laca mat . urew., mm, two
years after the death of his wife, a second
time across tbe Atlantic..'. . ; v.
It wa a warm, bright morning in June,
od Philip Vere sat by an open window, in
his beautiful mansion oo the banks of tbe
Hudson, thinking of her whom be bad lov

but a hasty glimpse that caught her face;
but that sufficed that noble. queenly head
that soft brown bair, and those soul-
peaking eyes, -could beloug to none but
Maud. . .-... v.
Seizing his hat, he hurried down the soft
mossy foot-path that led to the road, and
Saw ber ride rapidly on, and take the grav
elled walk which ended in front ot a neat

there and now and his heart beat wildly
at the i-thought now be should Bee her

with breathless eagerness. . The" servant
bowed and left the room. ... .
Scarce five minutes had elapsed-tbof to
him it seemed so many hoars ere the door
wa,a opened and Maud entered. Yes it Was
Maud but the bad changed. Her hair was
darker, and instead of falliog in curls upon
her wh.te neck, was plaited, in broad glos
sy braids, around her noble head her. eyes
were deeperiand the light that shown in their
clear depths, was sadder and more subdued.
her form was more elegant. s Maud Ray
mond, the woman of twenty, was different
from the girl of seven teen 'and yet, bo very,
verv like,; - ' -. :' I-
3-ie came gracefully forward, with the ! old
sweet smile npon her face, as if expecting to
meet a friend; but when she gaged into the
sad thoughtful face when, she met. the
glance of his dark-blue eyes, selt-com-miod,
for once, forsook her.

A quick bin ah dyed her fair cheek, and
lit up her beautiful- eyes. one gave him
her hand; he olasped it eagerly. y
Maud be whispered, very softly, 'have
you forgotten the days gone by, when ' we
loved each other bo weilr -
No, Philip: and she raised her lustrous
eyes to his as she spoke; no I have not for

Maud, said be in a trembling tones, when
I left America, I. feared, that you might
think me unworthy of your love; but I
have striven ! to do my duty. And- now

me?- Will voo give me back tbe heart

He knelt' before her as he' spoke.- She
looked down npon him for a moment; and
then, with a loving, beaming smile, kissed
the dark cur Is of hair's lightly tinged "with
gray, .that were brushed back Irorn - his
temples..'..' ' ' ' ." ; ". ",
I still love yon. Philip", she murmured,
I and my heart has been jours thro all these
long years; you have done righ t, and' I - am
very proud of you, my Philip; and; if it
would make you happy to have me walk
through life with you now I will do so
gladly, c . . " :
He rose, and pressing her to his heart,
said, In a choked voice r i. -
May God bless you, Maud; yon Lave
made me very, very happy.v Come to "my
heart and home, and let it be soon, Maud
my darling, : my wife.- '- ".'--
. . They were married very quietly, fa few
weeks afterwards. The world spoke of it
as marriage in high -life, and praised the
beauty, talent and grace of the fair- bride,'
but Maud cared little for its opinion; she
had now all that she had ever wished for
a home with hef early love. ' ""
And did Philip, in his deep, fervent' af
fection for Maud, forget her whose golden
head had first rested upon his breast?- " -
: Look at the little fairy, of seven summers
with tbe thick down-dropping curls tbe
soft, gazelle eyes, and the little ' rose- bud

child of Maud and Philip. Her name is

The Forged Mallory Report. ' -
We leave it to the Northern Government
to deny, if it dare, that tbe chevelier d'itidut
trie who fabricated this atrocious lie; was a
paid agent of its chief Secretary of State.
Meanwhile, whether it was so or not does
riot matter so much.- It would require an
expert casuist to distinguish between the
comparative guilt which attaches to one who
suborns a falsehood." No one is better in
formed than Mr. Seward on all matters
which concern tbe Southern Confederacy.
A glance at tbe fictitious report would have,
satisfied him as to its nature. Further, it
purports to have been intercepted by an
agent of the Northern Government. If so,
it wonld have come into Mr. Seward's
hands first of all, and it would have been
for him to have sent it to the papars if he
pleased. If he had not seen it until it ap
peared in The Sun, by that circumstance
alone he must have known it to be a forgery;
and that he imposed it opon the British
Government."
-The matter '. cannot be suffered to rest
here; it must be sifted to the bottom; - "We
would wish all men to know how far they
can trust in the word of this Government
with which we pretend to be in friendly re
lation. If Lord Russell suffers by these dis
closures, Mr. Seward suffers more.' Sim
plicity is a - fault which ' rouses langhter
rather than anger. For mendacity we have
no feeling but one of contempt. To Lord
Russell the history of the spurious report is
humiliating, to Mr. Seward it is disastrous.

upon the British Goverument a forged

strengthened himself in the task of prosecu-
ting the most nnjust claims against tbe sub

make itself felt. It is destructive to all

lengthened toward the furthest limit of hu

fltHOPSis OF THB GBOTjNDS OF fit POLITICAL
In 1776, the Thirteen British North
American Colonies, each one for itself, by
delegates in. Congress assembled, published
their Declaration of Independence of the
mother country, and announced to the
world the inalienable right of every people,
constituting a State,, to amend, alter, or
abolish an existing, and institute a new
government. V
, In 1775, these same Thirteen States, in
congress assembled, drew up articles of con
federation, declaring them to be perpetual.
submitted the same to. their respective
Sta tes , which being accepted by them , j uly
1778, their delegates in congress affixed
their signatures. , ,
In 1787, twelve of these States, Rhode Is
land not present, by their delegates in con
vention framed the Federal constitution,
provided for its going into-operation on the
assent of nine of the thirteen States, and
having been ratified by eleven of them,
went into operation March 4, 1789, leaving
North Carolina and Rhode Island to main
tain their separate nationality, or join the
newly organized Government at their plea
sure. Provision was made in the constitu
tion for the admission of new States into the
Union by congress, and also for amendments
to the constitution, with consent of three
fourths of the States, without regard to
population, then to ba binding tin the other
fourth of the States.
The citizens of each State, constituted
the State; the constitution amendable at
the ' will of a majority of the citizens; the
State governments are constitutional repre
sentative democracies; all legislative power
not prohibited by the constitution was vest
in the Legislature.
The Federal Government was constituted
by' the States. "" The powers granted by the
States specifically enumerated in the consti
tution, and the exercise of any" power not
granted was prohibited. The legislative
powers were vested in congress and specifi
cally enumerated. The difference between
the legislative powers granted to congress
and to a'State Legislature, is the difference
between a special and a general power of
attorney the one conferring powers enu
merated, the other all powers not prohibit
ed. The States, not the people, are tbe
constituents of the Federal Government;
and the constitution may be amended by
three-fourths of the States who may not
comprise a majority of the citizens.
'It was proposed, in tbe convention that
framed the constitution, that congress should
have the power of coercing a refractory
Stale; the motion was opposed by the most
distinguished men in' the convention, was
not pressed to a vote, or withdrawn by the
mover. Had the power of coercing a State
been conferred oo congress, the States would
not have ratified the constitution. '.
The power of annulling a State law con
travening the constitution or a law of the
United States was proposed to be invested
in two-thirds of congress. This proposition,
though advocated by James Madison and
others of like standing, was rejected; but if
this power had been granted, it wouli bave
prevented the passage of tbe so called Lib
erty bills by eleven States of the Unfcm in
direct violation of their constitutional obli
gations, 'and tbe Union would have been
preserved. (? "
The pre&ent war is not only a crime,' but
a stupendous blunder disgraceful to the in
telligence of the age; for common sense
recognizes and history bears .witness to the
fact that confederacies of States ate rnptured,
but cannot be sustained by a resort, to' arms.
i he war now devastating what was our
country is not a rebellion, but a war between
States independent of each other, excepting
so far as tbey were bound by Federal rela
tions; for there can be no rebellion in a gov

Tbe doctrine of the irrepressible conflict
originated by Lincoln.re-echoed by Seward,
recognized by the free States, in addition to
tbe Fugitive Slave bills.bave afforded to the
Southern States more ample cause for dis
solving their connection with the Eastern
Western and Northern States - than the
British North American Colonies could
allege for dissolving their connection with
the mother country. . , - - ,
This war of rapine and murder Is a war of
self-defense on the Dart of the South, of
aggression on the part of the North; for the
south tbere is now no other alternative,
than to fight until their independence' is ac
knowledged, or submission as conquered
provinces thus the war will continue until
the North recovers its reason, or ia exhaust
ed of men and bankrupt in credit. When
tbns exhausted, the war ' will terminate.
The States will then resume the powers
delegated to constitute the federal Govern
mentand that Government will share the
fate of the Confederation of 1778, having no
assets to discharge its contracts? and no heirs
that will feel bound to assume them. Aiincr
confederacies will then be organized at the
will of the.respective States, which' will go
into operation with knowledge-of . the
powers and capabilities' of Federal Bepnb

of Europe, will perform the ustfesioo from

To this hope I clingy with far more tenao

-. High Pressure.
This is a high-pressure age, and we sire? :
bound to keep the 'machine' of butrian civ
ilization at fall speed even if we sit on the! .
safety valve.' People talk footer; think
faster, eat faster, fib faster, and lose fortunes
much faster than they did in the slow and :
respectable Long Ago. -Fulton gdve the
human race a wonderful impdlse, and Unas'
worn the 'shoe of swiftness evef since '
changing them every now and then for el
new and improVed.pair. Old people cannot. ,
live in peace, and so they die to be out of
the .way. No one can guesS Where this'
thing is to stop. Stop! it won't Stop, can'f
Stop. Society has got an unstoppable,-
pstent, perpetual leg" on. And as loDg ai
the world goes, round, the rush mdst con- ,
tioue. Revolutions: niter go backwards.
and a revolution in science, or art, or polite
Idal economy, orsocial philosophy; or sonlei
thing else, is inaugurated (we believe that's
the word) every day. Occasionally we?
break things, bat 'it's of no consequence,
as Toots remarks when he Sprains his ankle"
in tumbling over a chair. The great' Shib
boleth of the age is push, and you muSS
Conform to it or be ran over. Nobody,
knows where the goal is. It is a subject of
conjecture and Speculation, like the North'
Pole. Oar idea is that mankind is engaged
in chssing a moveable steeple, and that aa
the object moves a little faster than we 3d;
there is . no earthly probability that the
steeple chase wtil be finished while 'gra
grows and water runs.' So far aS we carl
judge; there is but one thing that is" not.dond
faster than in old time. We refer to marri-.
age. Judging from the readiness with". "
which divorces are obtained,- the nuptial
knot is not tied quite as fast as it used to bef
a century ago.
The Monboe Dootbinb. The Londori

thing; and then rubs ih a little salt ana
