whose presence in the sitting-room she
had till then forgotten, and felt, to her
nfinite relief, that here, at least, was a
distraction which could afford her a few
minutes to regain her self-control.

precocious propensities, had the faculty
of never forgetting a face onoe seen—

..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.

I said si yesterday. I hate 'Do Mun,'
and so does Mopsy. Mopsy ecreamed

"And who is 'Do Mun' demanded
r. 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! Mr. Cardun" (with great
round eyes, which Inr mother coull
well imagine, though she did not see,)
"do you know, he once slapped mam
ma, and I saw him I"
"Tiuy,Tin 1" exclaimed Mrs. Arch
er, as she darted through the folding
doors, and, with cheeks on fire, stood
before them. "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

The voice in which these words were
spoken was rich and deep, and accord
ed well with the parson from whom it
came.
.Geoffrey Carden was a man of five
wnd-thirty, with a fine, well-developed
figure, and a face the beauty of which

and jet was far greater than that pos

bayeJ io p»t ti.* fioisning touches to

heard a double k^ock at the street-door
and ihe fine, manly tread, which she so
well remembered, mount the creaky
staircase, and enter the sitting-room,
divided from the one she occupied by
folding-doors. Sha was alone then
with her baby, who. had once mote
sunk to 6leep and she stood leaning
against the wall, trying to stesdy her
failing limbs and to silence the loud
beats of her throbbing heart, while she
felt as though she never could pa«s
through the doors which parted them,
and encounter him again.

"1 knew it 11 kuew it 1" she eried,
shrinking visibly from him. "Oh, Mr.

"No! that I never can consent to
do," he said, "while I have the least
remembrance of the sweet and precious
friendship to which you allude. I have
come to Englaud solely on your hus
band's account. Mrs. Archer, and you
must let me know where he is."
"Never I" she exclaimed, with em
pashis.
"Then you will be doing him an in
jury as well as yourself," he replied
gently. "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

means of communioatioa with him, nor

ever wrongly he may have acted toward
you, I am his wife, and I have swum

"Nor save him either, perhaps
"To save him how could I save

"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

plucked him by the coat-sleeve as she
spoke.
In her emotion Eugenia had become

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"

Was a large sum for him to take, and
the amount made no difference to the

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

shock to me."
"My station in life 1" she answered,
bitterly. "Whatstation have I? the

"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,

—why yours, of course," she said
with glowing cheeks "to whom else

"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

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.

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
