Miss Tiny—who, among many other precocious propensities, had the faculty of never forgetting a face onoe seen— welcomed Mr. Carden with all the warmth of an old friend, and as though they had but parted a day or two be fore. [jr[" L.,-*y.v'z -.-.r, "How do you do, Mr. Carden What a long time it is since yon have been to see us 1, This, is not so. nice a house as we bad in Calcutta, is it But we lived in a. better house When we first came to England, with grandmamma and aunt Marion, and cousin Amy.

Mamma cried for joy because he is so much better. Mam ma ofter cries b^t I doo't think it is always for joy, Mr. garden." ..Here Eugenia, leaning still against the wall, with her color conjing and go ing with each successive word uttered by the child, heard the visitor say something in a low tone of remon strance, which Tiny immediately re sented. I "Oh, bit she does cry, Mr. Carden, very olten—much oftener than when We were at Calcutta. 'Do Mun' used to make her cry at Ash Grove I was very glad when 'Do Mun' went away. 1 hope he vill never come to see as. I said si yesterday. I hate 'Do Mun,' and so does Mopsy.

Carden, in a voice which did not betray much interest in the subject while Eugenia, dumb founded at tbe turn tbe conversation seemed to be tak ing, leaned forward eagerly to catch the next words of her child. "Why, 'Do Mun' ia the servant who came home in the ship with us but he was very unkind to Mopsy and to me, and used to slap us and say bii words. And, oh!

"Tiny you don't know what you are saying you are talking the greatest nonsense that ever was in vented. Go down-stairs directly, and stay with Mrs. Johnson till I call you." And then, as the child disappeared, she turned toward her visitor, intend ing to greet him with some common place politeness, but, failing to utter it, sunk down into the chair- .nearest at hand, and brust into tears instead. She had meant to have been so col lected and calm, to have met the inquir ies which she felt awaited her with .so much caution but Tiny's revelation, and the alarm engendered by them, had driven away all her courage, and left nothing but a wretched, trembling coward behind them. aia-»»vml I ^O, Mr. Carden I" she •obbed, tor getting every thing but her fear /'why are you here what do yOu expect me to tell you?

"I have good proof that he left Calcutta in disguise, and, it is sup posed, at the same time you did. Find ing you here naturally leads me to con clude that lie. is hiding somewhere iu London, and that you aro aware of his place of concealment. Now, the kind est thing you can do for him will be to give me his address." "I do not know it," she replied, thank ful at the moment for her ignorance. "You do not know where he is liv ing but, purely, you have some means of communication with him—where do you write to him, and under what name 1" "That I cannot tell yon, Mr. Carden." "1 warn you, Mrs. Archer, that your persistence in refusing to help me to discover bis whereabouts will do him no good. Who was this 'Do Man,' who oame over in the same vessel with you—this Bengalee, who slapped your children, and even (Jf my little friend Tiny is. to be believed) dared to lift his hand against yourself You must have allowed him remarkable licensefor a native servant, Mis, Archer." From the tone of his voice, in put ting this question, Eugenia saw that, so far, Geoffrey Carden was master of her secret and there needed nothing further than the burning blush with which she silently answered it to assure him that he was not mistaken. "Well! I have discovered so much without your aid," he said, "I feel assured the supposed 'Do Mun' was no one else than Henry Archer, and that he probably still maintains the same costume. The ooxt question is, where is he to be found His gratitude for your efforts to conceal his disgrace, or rather to avoid the consequences of it, docs not seem to have been so over whelming as to lay you under further obligations in the matter." "Mr. Carden," she replied, raising ber tearful eyes to his, "whether it is so or no, lies entirely between my husband acd myself. I tell you truly when I say that I do not know bid pr&ent ad dress, nor* can I famish you with any means of communioatioa with him, nor clew to his recognition beceuse, how ever wrongly he may have acted toward you, I am his wife, and I have swum not to bet-ay him." "Nor save him either, perhaps "To save him how could I save him "By bringing about an interview be tween us. Mrs. Archer, do you think if 1 had come to England with the ex press intention of prosecuting him, that I should bave.been such a heart less brute as to try and .worm out my ipformation from yourself, and at such a moment, too? I hoped that you thought better of me. I am here, not to prosecute, but, if possible, to re deem him." "To redeem—and after he has so greatly sinned against you Oh 1 Mr. Carden, you are not deceiving me 1" "Have I ever deceived you yefcf" he replied, reproachfully. "Indeed, Mrs. Archer, you do me an injustice by the suspicion." MI do—I feel I do!" she said. "But if you forgave him—if you, in your gnat generosity, could overlook so fear ful an error, would Mr. Andrews) do so? Remember how strict, how hard he was upon even small offences and the loss must have fallen heavier on him than on yourself. Oh, oo 1 I have no hope that Mr. Andrews Would prove as good as you are. I should deliver up my husband to jail, perhaps to penal servi tude, and brand my poor children's names forever with dishonnor. Yon must not—you cannot ask me to bring this fearful disgrace upon their innocent heads." "But, suppose Mr. Andrews knows nothing about this unfortunate business, Mis. Archer?" She stared up at him in surprise. "How is it possible that he cannot do so V* she demanded, in her turn. "Simply because it has been kept from him," he answered. "Had it not been so, tho columos of every news paper would have teemed with an ac count of tbe embezzlement, and your husband's fully would have become patent in the world. So, when I fonod that I,could do so much for the- take of a very valued friendship—I did it "Mr. Carden I" in excited, agitated ones,"1 do not understand—your meaning is not clear to me. How could yon conceal from Mr. Andrews that Henry had fled Calcutta how ascount to him for so much money missing from the bank Tell me quickly—tell me all—1 muf hear every thing 1" and she plucked him by the coat-sleeve as she spoke. In her emotion Eugenia had become pale as death bat the man whom she I chum to them than ho had t» mint N0.38. detained reddened like a girl beneath the olose scrutiny which she bestowed on him, and attempted, more than onoe to loosen bis coat-sleeve from her grasp. He had done what he had dene for her sake only, but he heartily wished at that moment that there was any one to tell ber the good action but himself "Tell it to me, Mr. Carden I will not let you go until yon tell me 1" "WJII, Mrs. Aroher, if you must know coarB re W no means of concealing husband had taken 'French leave' to ihro? °P hi a but tbe reason that he did a? a mystery to Mr. Andrews to this «. *y# "But how—but how "Oh 1 It was not difficult. Fortun ately, I was the one to find tbe matter out and—and—and after all, though it Was a large sum for him to take, and the amount made no difference to the crime—still, I am more than rich, as you well know, Mrs. Aroher, and with but few uses Tor my money, and—" "And so you replaced it, you—who had trusted so fully—who bad been so fearfully deceived!—you, did this, for him—for me—for all of us she said in a voice so low that it seemed full of awe. "Come, come! you mustn not make more of it than it was, Mrs Aiaher, and—what is this? Good Heavens! at my feet. No, no, Eugen ia—never, while I have the power to raise you thence 1" But still she clung there, sobbing as though her heart would break. "So, no Don't t?uch rael don't ask me to move. Oh, I wish I might die here! I wish I might weep my life oat at your feet, dear, generous friend!—dear, loriog, forgiving friend! Oh, let me cry!—it does me good.— These are the happiest tears I have shed for many a day. I thank God! and I thank you, for this gleam of sunshine in my dreary life." But he lifted her by force and placed her on the sofa, and turned away and walked to the window by himself. For a few minutes there was no sound but that of her low weeping bat when it had abated, he advanced to ward her, with a smile which seemed to forbid any further reference to the subject they had just dismissed. "Now that I have explained every thing to your satisfaction, Mrs. Areher," he said cheerfully, as he drew a ehair toward the sofa, "I hope vou will have no hesitation in going hand-in-hand with me in my efforts to find your hus band's present address. I think, from your silence, I understand that you have a method of correspondence with him—is it BO?" "It was the case," she answered "but from having received no reply to my last four or five letters, I begin to be afraid that he has oeased to ask for them, or that he may even have left the country without my knwoledge. At the present moment I am totally ignorant of his whereabouts, and wheth er he still retains his disguise or no." "That is bad," returned Mr. Carden "but you must write again, acd mean while I will advertise cautiously for him, and set private inquiries on foot, and depend upon it we shall find hiin out before long. And when he is found, and I am able to set his mind at rest respecting his own safety, I will see what 1 osn do to get him an ap pointment somewhere in the colonies, where he may work u,a way up to a character tur recitttude again." "Ob you are too good—you are too good, Mr. Carden I" she recommenced. "Hush 1" he said playfully, "please to keep clear of forbidden gronnd. Perhaps my goodness is not so entire as you seem to imagine. It Archer accepts my aid, I shall make one con dition with him, that he leaves you and these little ones in England until he bar established a respectable home in which to receive yon again: And now that, as far as it is oan be set'*?*?, we have settled this ma.ter, Mre. Archer, let me proceed to another. Don't think me impertinent but why do I find you here, in such a room aa this?" looking round it as he spoke "When Dr. Graham offered to bring me to your house (I dare say you have already guessed that it was through the doctor, under whose hands I hap pen to be—worse luck!—that I dis covered your station in life, and to en ter these was, I must confess it, a great shock to me." "My station in life 1" she answered, bitterly. "Whatstation have I? the wife of a—" "Hush 1" he repeated, as he laid hia hand on bar's. "Whatever he is. there is no need you should suffer for hia crimes you have done so sufficiently already. You must move into more suitable apartments at once—I insist upon it!" "But I have net the means," she answered, blushing, and dreading what her words might lead to. "Has Aroher got no money with his ageqts he demanded, in surprise. "With MoAloert & Wigson? oh, yes! oh, yen! he baa But—but I cannot touch it, Mr. Carden. I would rather starve first—it is not his, or mine!" "Whose is it, then "Why, those whom he has robbed —why yours, of course," she said with glowing cheeks "to whom else should it belong?" "I do not allow that," he replied "If I had wished to prosecute your hus band, his private means would have become mine by law but, under pres ent cireumsunces, I have no more "Not «hen y.»u r.-piaeo what bo had akee, Mr Carden "I replaced it no* for his sake, but for yours, Eugenia. Have you not suffi cieut faith in my friendship tor you to take it as a gift Her eyes were dim witb tears her lips were trembling she could not an swer him. "So you will draw the money, which is rightfully your own, and use it as you ought to use it—for my sake," he added, earnestly. "I will—for your sake," she repeated after bim, feeling as though an angel rather than a man had come to her assistance. "Why did you leave Ash Grove?" he asked abruptly, after a short pause. But this question was more em barrassing to her than any of the rest. Why she bad left Ash Grove, and the manner in which her name had there been linked with that of the friend be side her, rushed tumultously into her miod, and dyed her cheeks in crimson. "Misunderstanding—false reports a fsmily quarrel," she murmured inco herently but Geoffrey Carden, who had no doubt of her fair fame, forced he" g^e him intelligebleanswers, un til (with Jh-e exception of tost part his name has played in it) he heard the whole history of the forged letter which had brought her up so hastily to London, and been tbe ultimate means* of her quitting the shelter of her moth er's roof. And when he left her side-that morn ing it was with the full determination to redress the wrongs which her own family had done her, as well as those inflicted by her husband's villainy. Blessed Christmas Day! How cheeri ly the bells, ringing out glad tidings of great joy for men, sounded in Eugen ia's ears, as weary and overcome by the events of the morning, she laid on a sota with her baby in her arms, and watched the eagerness with whioh Miss Tio" unpacked a mjoLerious 1rown paper perco!, which had arrivi-i for her shoi .ly after the departure of Mr. Carden, and proved to contain the most wonderful array of Christmas presents that were ever sent to one little girl be fore And the song of the Christmas bells, and the remembrance of the earthly friend whom Heaven had sent in her great need, filled the heart of Eugenia Archer with so much thank fulness, that there was hardly space for regretting the blessings which were still denied her. [TO BE CONTINUED.] E I From Harper's Weekly. The Ku-Klux question has become rery serious. Before the war a citizen of the United States who believed in the Declaration of Independence, and said so, was outlawed, harried, and liable to be murdered in half the coun try. It was safer for a free-tongued American, who held to the right ful equality of all men, to travel in Central Africa than in South Carolina under the flag of the United States. Now thatthe war is ended, no conspicu ous Union man, aod no colored citizen who takes an active and positive position in sympathy with the Un ion, ib safe from assault or murder in a large part of the old slave States. If he complains, he is told that tbe local courts are open to him If he replies that the mob holds the courts, and that he has the same protection that the abolitionist in the interior of Mis sissippi had against the slavery assassin a fifteen years ago, he is told that he has the ballot, and he must right himself a tho polls. If be replies that the mob, which is supreme, prevents his voting, he is told that that is his misfortune, but that the United States authority can only interfere in a State upon the requisition of the governor. If he says that the governor is the Ku Klux, he is told that it is a pity but that the prin ciple of the government requires that every State must protect its citizens. And he is asked, ia turn, if the United States shonld interfere at its pleasure in every State by a mere resolution of Congress, how would it be with him if his friends should lose power, and the friends of tbe Ku-Klux come in To which he would, of course, reply that it would certainly be no worse for him— aod it would not. But how would it be el«fiwhere and b«real*er est .m undeniably a very gtftVt. a&d dimcult one. The States rights answer, however, is very short and simple. The Southern States, it says, from an unnatural fostering of slavery and the inevitable consequences of war, have lapsed into quasi-barbar ism, and they must work themselves clear. They must learn by experience. They must civilize themselves. This answer would be more satisfactory if the barbarians were not voters in a com mon Union, and adherents of a great party which contests its government. In riew of that faot the practical question immediately is, whether that situation of things could be ehanged by legisla tion. And if it could, if the protection of those whom the Ku-Klux keeps from the polls by terror would prevent the national government falling into the hands of the Ku-Klux party, ought they not to be protested and the gov ernment saved Granting, as every sensible man must, that the prceesa of reconstruction has been altogether too swift, aod that the States in rebellion should, under the peculiar circumstances, have been much longer directly held by the national authority, shall nothing be done to avoid the ill effects of the batte, even to the control of the government by its open enemies? For every man knows a hit spirit would animate a Democratic national administration.: Everybody remembers that the last Democratic convention was swayed by rebel chiefs rejoicing in their rebellion, and that a great portion of tbe party gee with sat isfaction now the very barbarism of which we speak. If our political sys tem really be one which forbids the
