TENNYSON'S PICTURE OF GE. GRANT.
[How forcibly the following lines of Ten
nyson to Wellington apply to Gen. Grant
at the present moment:"]
The statesman-warrior, moderate, jesoluti',
Whole in himnelf, common good
Oar BTeatest, yet with least pretence
Great in council ami great in war,
Foremost captain of his time,
Rich in saving common sense,
And, as the greatest only are,.
In hid simplicity sublime
Remember all
He si oko among you ami the man who spoke,
Who never sold the tiuth, to servo the hour,
Nov palt.cr'd with Eternal God for power
Who let- tlis- turbaTstroams of rumor flow
Thro1 either babUling World of high or low
Whose life was work, whose language rife
With rugged maxims hewn from life
Who never npoko against a foe
Whose forty winters freeze with 11 rebuke
A'l groat helf-.sceki.i-s (rumpling ou the right
Whatever record leapsito li-ht
He never shall be shutneil.
But while the races of mankind endure
Let his great example stand
Collossul seen of every laud,
And keep tho soldier firm, the statesman pure
Till in all lauds and through all human story
The path of duty be the way to glory
And let the hind hose henrths ho saved from
shame,
ji'ot many anil many an.ago pie^Uiui,
At civic revel, and ponrp andLgiunej
And when the loiig-iltiimincd cities fhuuo,
Their ever loyal iron leader's fame,
With honor, honor, honor to him,
Eternal honor to his name.
ADRLANA.
BY JEAN BOXCtEUB.
A W E
It was not town, and it was not coun
try, and it was not sea. It seemed as
thoug it had been trjring ta bo all
and having met with a terrible
failure, had settled down into a nonde
script state of existence, endeavoring to
shrink again into obscurity, quite
ashamed of its rash and hopeless aspira
tions.
There was a line of rude cottages ly
ing along the beach—if that long stretch
of mud could be dignified with such a
title—aad at right angles with this line
of cottages ran a roughly marked put
road. The only house in the road was
a shop, which had evidently been in
tended for the commencement of a row,
the sides being unfinished, and show
ing the beams and apertures for the
fireplaces next door, whenever the ne
door should be built.
But the nest door had not been
built, and probably never would be,
though brick ends and other indica
tions of workmen still Hot cleared
away, gave token that the work was
not intentionally left incomplete.
At a little distance from this fore
ground,.on a slight elevation.command
ing what view of-'the-ser there niight
be when there was. no mist, were exca
vations in preparation Ipr of house of
{goodly dimenoions, though why? ajiy
one should ever have contemplated
building in so uninviting a neighbor
hood, would be a difficult matter to de
termine. So the projector seemed, on
more mature consideration, to hive de
cided, for the idea was evidently aban
doued. A lew small houses and hovels
scattered here and there completed the
place, whose pretensions to a town
might be summoned up in the nega
tion that it was not country.
In like manner its claims to country
might be described by saying it was
not town. A few stunted stubble
fields, some clusters of thick, furze
busbes, a miserable common, whereon
some donkeys believed themselves to be
grazing, but found it very hard creed
to swallow- and -hal£n dozen dwarf elm
trees, whose leaning trunks and boughs
bent by the sea-breeze, gave one thehere."
uncomfortable .fijeling that they were
fast losing their equilibrium, and that
the next gust of wind would topple
them over altogether. Add: to these a
stagnant poo), in which some indefati
gable ducks were dabbling for food, and
all rural associations were at an end.death,
'Long, sandy reaches covered, or rather
sprinkled, with long rush-like grass,
suggested the vicinity of the sea.
Adriana turned towards where the
sea should be, but the tide had gone
far out, and only a hazy line indicated
water in the distance. There were
some boats lying on the muddy beach,
and some fishing-nets spread out to.dry,
and troops of bare-footed children, lux
uriating in sundry pools and puddles
that the tide had left, gave rise to the
impression that in so far as the popula
tion fas concerned, Grayaide was an in
creasing place. She wondered how
people living amidst such desolation
could be content, and, much as she had
wished for an out-of-thc world residence
her heart died within her as she noted
the bearings of her future home.
"You must inquire for Mrs. Rebecca
Davis," said she to the driver, as she
shrank back into the corner of the an
tiquated chaise that had brought her
from the nearest post town
•'Inquire, is it muttered the dri
ver, to himself "sure then its little
the lady knows where she's going to.
No need to inquire, ma'am," said he,
aloud, "I know tho house."
And after proceeding lor about half
a mile, he turned up a narrow lane,
fenced on either side by a straggling
hedge, and greatly" abounding in loose
stone-heaps, over which the chaise jolt
ed uneasily.
As they advanced, the hedge assum
ed a somewhat mere trim appearance,
and as they, drove.into a sort of court
yaid, tho gate of which was left open,
as if an arrival were expected, it seemed
to Adrians as though the transforma
tion-scene of a pantomime had taken
place.
This court-yard was surrounded on
three sides by an old stone wall, cover
ed with carefully-trained fruit-trees,
though this seemed the 1 principal
trance. And at the door stood an ej
derly lady in a dark gray stuff dross
the whitest of white kerohiofa wascross*
ed over her bosom, and 'the stifle«t and
primmest of'Quaker caps covered her
scanty silver hah*.: j- .,
"Welcome, dear friend/' said the
old lady. "I am right glad to see thee,
and child all well 1
And as Adriana replied, she led th§
way into her (dtting-roouu
A low wainscoted room, with beams
across the ceiling, the plaiu furniture,
as bright as hands could make it. One
end of it was almost'takeu up with a
wide casement wnidow, part of which
formed a door into the garden and as
Adriana caught sight of the view that
lay beyond, she uttered an exclamation
of surprise.
"It the only picture I have," said
Rebecca Davis, smiling, and seemingly
pleased with Adriana's astonishment
•truly, child, the Almighty's pencil
paints finer pictures than the,, hand of
man." ',. ..•«• ..,.• ,•
"Rut the hand of man has dpue some
thing," said Adrians, as she looked oijt
upon the soft turf, and the^borders
studded with snowdrops and crocuses,
"Yes, the hand of majo batb tended,
but not made. Look beyond. Meay
and many a day 1'vo watched the^uu
go down from this wipdow, and Fve
thought of Hho.rlifo pf. tb«jisigdfoQus
man, moro and
morr
The sun had 'struggled through the
mist, and on a pale, gold sky the dark
gray clouds floated in bars of shade.—
The nearer ones were tinged with a
purple crimson, aod the more distant
seemed as if a rosy fleece were hover
ing over them. There, was but oneEtheredgevs.
•single patch of blue visible through a
rift in the heavier, clouds, looking more
deeply blue from contrast with the sur
rounding shades of color^ the, waters
reflected the brilliant hues, and flashed
and sparkled as the monarch of the day
sank down to meet them and, as henever
greeted them with his. farewell kiw, a
flood ol light hid the Boundary Hue of
earth and heaven. •. .*""
Adriana gazed on. silence. Anew
life had sprung up within her aeense
of deep peace stole over her the past
was for the moment forgotten, the pres
ent seemed so exquisite. She tasted
that sensation of ineffable happiness,
kapwn at rare times to all of us, when
the heart feels that it has snatched one
moment of supreme'repose, as though
the ministering angels had overshadow
ed us with their protecting wings, and
had enfolded us in a spiritual embrace.
"A peace that passed man's under
standing."
Rebecca Davis stood watching her.
"Is it peace, my child?" said the
gentle Quakeress.
"Peace! rest! I shall be happy
CHAPTER I I
Time went on twisting ibis wondrous
cable, entwined of so many threads that
mortals fail to cottnt them, A marvel
ous ^coil of sorrow and of joy, of life, of
of good and evil, weaving in in
congruities, and coming to no halt, no
knot to be untied, no. roughness to be
made, smooth, but. one broad even lino
of indestructible fibre that has been
weaving throughout all ages,, connect
ing us as it were,, magnetically with'
the past, through the wondrous tele
grams it delivers to the more marvel
ous present.
And DB we stand, and look back with
awe upon that, mighty past, a feeding of
regret comes over us, almost of remorse
as we reflect that we can send uo mes
sage back along that even line, no
word to tell the. brains that worked
themselves out, the hands that strove,
the heaits that struggled and despaired
and pined, to pcrfeot it, that they
wrought and fought and bled and died,
not in vain, but that through their toil
and sufferings their fellow-men have
come to be more noble.
In vain Like a marble monument
to a starved painter or a maddened pc
et, is our most earnest tribute to those!*•beyond
dead and now appreciated ones.
Yet suoh is life, and such the fate of
genius. The death-angel ofttimes gives
the crown of mortal as well as of im
mortal glory.
And Time wove on his cable. Be
had twisted into it the last spring vie-,
lets, and was now wreathing it with
early roses.
A ad Adriana sat on the mossy turf

events happen How oddly people
are thrown together!"
"So Katy's beginning to note the cu
rious web that people get entangled in,"
said Adriana. "No, shall not bo at
your wedding, Katy, Mr. Clinton's rel
ative will be a bar. WelJ I must be
content to be alone iu the world,—a
waif, astray You suppose I 'did not
like Mr. Etheredge. I should have

quite so sure about it now. He's worth
a dosen Charles Cunninghams ia some
respects. However, I shall never see
either again, so I need not trouble my
self with their merits or demerits."
Here the'gentle voice of Rebecca
Davis interrupted her cogitations.
"Adriana/* said she, "wilt thou go
down to Thomas Greening's, and see
What the trouble is There are people
running to and fro, hot no one can give
me a rational account. I hear that
there are two men drowned. Wilt thee

"browned!"
"Nay, I win not say so for certain
but a yacht was seen awhile since off

distress, and there'are no signs of her
now."
"In this calm sea?"
"Ah, dear friend, smooth waters are
dtceitf-al, and none can say there is no
danger even when the heavens look
fairest."
As Adriana made the best of her
way down the^tony lane, and along the
muddy beach to the row of cottages, a
dark presentiment filled her mind. She
could not analyse the vague foreboding,
the point that it in some way
touched herself, neither could she dis
pel it She telt oppressed with a
weight that she could not shake off.
"Yet, what have I to do with these
dead ones, even should they be dead
she reasoned. "They are nothing to
me. There have been deaths at Gray
side before, yet I never felt as 1 do
now. I want some of Rebecca Davis's
Quaker calmness, or I shall be of no
use, What is it, Thomas she asked,
as she saw Greening with an awe
face at the cottage door.
"Ita hard to see a brave man die,
and he's one if ever there was," re
turned Thoma«, in a hoarse whisper.
"I could not stand by and see him die
as others doe.''
"Was he drowned?." asked Adriana,
scarcely more audibly.
"He's not dead yet," replied the
man, "but he's going, and they say it'll
be a sore straggle, for he's stioog to
look at, but there's no hope. His

And Adriana was turning away,
when (he door opened wider/and
Greening's wife clutched Adriana by
the arm.

er, the Lord have mercy upon him!
Surely, as David loved Jonathan,
B?
this man loves him that is departing.
The like of us can give him no comfm
Maybe you could give bim a kindlv
word."
Words! What are words? But Adri
ana entered. She trod silently up the
narrow staircase, and stepped into the
low bedroom.
She was little prepared for the sight
that met her view. Stretched on theflask
rude bed lay Richard Etheredge his
pale features seemed stiffening to the
stillness of death, looking more ghastly
from the streaks of blood that trickled
from a gash across his forehead.
The room was filled with rough sail
ors, and at the side of the bed knelt
Charles Braddick, sobbing like a child.
Unprepared as Adriana was for sueh
a meeting, there seemed nothing extrar
ordinary in it to her. The vague pre
sentiment was fulfilled, and therefore it
vanished, and left her calm aod collect
ed. One thought alone darted through
her mind as she gazed on the death-like
figure before her. Her last words to
him had been,—
"Mr. Etheredge, I hate you!"
And as she gazed, what would she
not have given to be
fable
to recall
them!
But the words were spoken, and ittween
was too late to take them back.
"Is there no doctor?"
''They be gone for un, miss, but it's
fifteen miles, at least."
"How long since t"
"An hour or more."
"There are too many people here,"
ssid Adriana to tho man who badfest
spoken "ask them to go away."
The man did as he was desired.
Adriana thew open the little window,
and looked out over the wide expanse,
but there was no human figure visible
across the barren flats.
"It will be too late, too late I" And
she wiped away the bloody stains from
the white face in moving to do this,
the accidentally touched Mr. Braddick
he looked up at her with such an alter
ed face that she started back.
"Adriana! Miss Linden! Can you
not save him Can you not give him
back as you gave me Charley
"How can I save him What can I
do?"
"You will not save him Ton hate
him! You are glad to see him lying
there You have come to rejoice over
my misery! You triumph in your re
venge! Do you like revenge, Miss
It is sweet, is it not Very
sweet?" and he grasped Adriana's
arm.
Sho perceived that he scarcly knew
what he was saying, and she tried to
stop tho tide of words, but he heeded
her not.
"How should I know that there were
rocks upon the coast? Why did the
vessel strike? I ask you, why did it
strike when he was in it, whilst hun
dreds of poor fishing-boats go by in
safety Ah»! you will watch the fish
ing-boats for many and many a day,
and wilt say, 'Charles Cunningham's
brother perished, but there is no danger
to these.'"
"Mr. Braddick," said Adrians, sor
rowfully, "you are mistaken." Then,
as she saw him about to speak again,
she changed her tone to a more imperi
ous one. "This is no time for words
like these be ealm no one can say
how this may end. Your brother's life
may yet be spared."
He looked at her eagerly^
"Do you believe it No you don't
you are deceiving me. You say it to
quiet me. I used to think you spoke
the truth, but this is no truth. You
know there is no hope. You would
like metobe my brother's murderer!"''
The excitement and the injuries he
had sustained ba*d evidently produced
an effect upon him, and Adriana no
longer tried to reason with him. All
she could do was to beg himtobe
si-our
lent, lest he should disturb his brother.
So he was silent whilst Adriana stooped
down to listen if she could hear the
breathing of the wounded man.
Very faint it was scarcely percepti
ble. She placed the pillow so that the
head might not fall back so much. The
change of position was an evident re
lief, and a slight sigh escaped the suf
ferer's lips.
Yet what was she to do
There was a stir below, then a foot
step on the stairs.
It was the doctor.
Adriana was disappointed when a
bright rosy face, with dark wavy hair,
and no sign of beard or whiskers, looked
into the room.
So unlike the stereotyped idea of a
skillful practitioner
She did not remember the words of
Elihu, the sou of Barachel the Busite.
The young doctor examined the
wound, and shook his head.
"It will require more nursing than
he'll get here."
"Conld he be removed?" asked
Adriana.
The doctor turned to Adrians, whom
he had not before noticed.
"There's only one house about where
he's likely to be well attended to. I
•hewJd not mind asking the favor I'm
sure it would be cordially granted.
"I think I can answerforthat," said
Adriana "you moan Mrs. Rebecca
Davis."
The young doctor looked in some
surprise at Adriana.
"I am living there just now," ex
plained she.
"All right," returned the doctor
"then the sooner my patient is moved
the better. Here, you good fellows,"
he called from thetopof the stairway,
"lend a hand. I'm going to have the
gentleman moved to Madame Davis's."
"Couldn't do better," responded a
rough sailor, appearing, followed by two
or three others, as rough and shaggy as
himself.
"We shall want, a stretcher," said
the doctor.
"Easy maogage that, sir," replied
the sailor "but we must get him
down stairs first."
And Adriana slipped awaytoprepare
Rebecca Davisforher visitors.
"There are no bones, broken," said
the doctor "the right arm's out of
socket wc must put that right, and
then he may be carried as safely as need
be." Then, turning to Mr. Braddick,
—'Why, you're not much better able
to walk than he is. You've been pretty
well knocked about, both of you. is
there aay brandy to be had A small
was handed to him. "Here, drink
this," said the doctor.

The necessity for the impeachment of
Andtew Johnson in order to secure the
public peace and safety, is daily being
admitted on all sides by those from
whom there has been little reason to
expect such concurrence. Even the
New York Times, whose editor, Henry
J. Raymond, was the moving spirit in
the Philadelphia Convention, and
who has filled the columns of his paper
each day with abuse of the .Republican
party, and who atfirstdenounced im
peachment, now says:
The removal of the President, if it
shall be made, will remedy'this evil, at
all events, it will put an end to the
conflict.of authority and ot action be-
Congress and the Executive.
We shall have Congress enacting laws
with the Concurrence and approval of
the President and we shall have the
executive department giving the full
weight of its influence to their execu
tion. This, of itself, we do not hesi
tate to say, will be a very great gain to
the country, and will go very far to
ward offsetting the manifold and mani
evils attendant upon so unusual
and violent a measure as impeachment.
Instead of making Congress more ex
treme and violent in its action, it may,
by increasing its sense of responsibility
and by removing exasperations to which
it has been but too ready to yield, have
the effect of inducing a wiser and mere
judicious course of proceeding on the
part, of the law-making power. One
thing is very clear—BO long as Mr.
Johnson is President there can be no
harmony oi feeling aud no unity of
actiou between the two departments,
upon whose joint action the whole vigor
and efficiency of the Government de
pend. The two will be-at daggers'
points so long as the incumbents of
both remain. And it is certainly a
question whether a year's continuance
of such'a struggle, in the present crisis
of public affairs, would not involve"
more practical evil and do more serious
injury to public interests and the pub
lic welfare, than would follow the ap
plication of the harsh aod violent reme
dy that is proposed.

—Rev. Dr. Cooper, in former years
a well-known Presbyterian minister in
the^Cumberlacd Valley, Pennsylvania,
was a rigid disciplinarian in all church
matters, as the following anecdote wil
prove: He had established a rule that
every member of his congregation
should sing a psalm every Sunday
morning before going to church. One
Sabbath a prominent member happened
to be absent. The next day the Doctor
cal'ed to hear his excuse for such a
flagrant violation of church discipline.
Mr. T. informed him, in extenuation of
his conduct, that, in the regular course
of devotions, the singing of the 119th
Psalm cime in order and that, having
commenced upon it after breakfast, he
did not get through in time for church,
or indeed until some time in the after
noon. The excuse was considered
««)bd.
—The following letter is a perfect
model in its way. We certainly hope
it is a unique specimen: "Dear Broth
er. I've got one of the handsomest
farms in the state, and..have it nearly
paid for. Crops are good,.prices never
better, We have had a glorious revival
of religion in our church, and both our
children (the Lord be praised) are con
verted. Father got to be rather an en
cumbrance, and last week I took him
to-the poor-house. Your affectionate
brother."
—It is said that in all directions of
country, and especially the rural
districts, the number of marriages of
late has greatly increased. The fact is
of a higher moral or political signifi
cance than most persons imagine, not
only as illustrative of the general pros
perity, but as prolonging the general
life averages. It has long been obseived
in England that the low price of grain
always tends to encourage matrimony,
and with such uniformity that the scale
of prices represents the scale of mar
riages.
—A three-year old boy of a Pitts
field clergyman, watching his mother
make biscuit one Sunday for tea, asked
her if it was not wicked to work on
Sunday. Of course she said it was,
aud the logical little chap continued:
"Oo'll catchit when '00get to beaten."

—It is altogether too absurd to say
that "Man is not perfect." Who is
