: be 'attractive. She was winsome at
all times and seasons ; but when she
... used a little effort, could make her
self doubly so. - Of course she had
f. forgiven Charley a dozen times that
morning. lie was to come early
And be sweetly penitent, and she
would be devotion itself. After all
Charley was a brave, noble fellow,
, and doubtless she did try him some
times.,; To-night she wouldn't flirt
a bit - -
- Other guests came, but no Charley.
She had given him plenty of tini,
certainly. Had he been 'really vex
c,l, and was he slaying away to pun
ish her? . Well, let hiin stay. She
didn't mean to mope and wear the
' willow. Lovelorn girls were always
absurd
no nose Arvedson was soon in
the center of the croup. Old Matt
had dropped in with his fiddle, and
the younger members of the party
had a quadrille, home of the seni
' ors settled to playing cards, but Dr.
Caltran and three or four others
were deep in a discussion on souse
of the wonderful things in . nature,
iresmerism and clairvoyance. lie
had been rehearsing several remark
able incidents, when it waspxeposed
that a test should be given. v ho
would become a subject?
No one appeared inclined at first
but Miss Caltran Dually acquiesced.
Her brother had succeeded in send
ing her to sleep, when Rose looked
into the room. Her attention . was
immediately arrested, and she watch
ed the experiments with much eager
ncss.
"If any other person would like
to try," Dr. Caltran said, glancing
around tke group.
'Iiose is ready for any thing. Try
your luck !".. exclaimed her cousin
Nellie.
"I don't know what to ask, or
what I would most like to hear,"
tsue said, 'with a gay laugh.
"Ask about Charley, and learn
what keeps him away, then you can
tease him."
'But is there any truth in it, Dr. I
Caltran?" and Hose's deep eyes
were luminous with some, feeling
akin of curiosity.
'-It is true that the medium can in
many case3 seem to enter a person's
mind, and answer in a remarkable
fashion. Many mistakes are made
but I think they are due to our im
perfect knowledge of the science.
Suppose you try, Mi9S.Rose; no
one can suspect you of collusion."
Quite a circle began to gather
around. Miss Caltran appeared to
be in a tranquil slumber, her lips
just parted, suggesting tier white,
even teeth, which were very band
some. .
"Well," said Rose daringly.
"Place your hand i.i hers. Now
think intently of the subject in which
you wish her to feel interested, and
then ask your question."
A thousand thoughts filled Rose's
in an instant, but that of Charley
kept recurring. What should she
say ? for delicacy seemed to hold
her back on this subject.
"Hurry !" exclaimed Nellie. , What
is Charley doing ? Has he gone to
sleep and forgoten about us ?"
I chink I will not ask- " But
a chorus of eager voices interrupted
Rose.
"Play fair now. No backing ot t "
"Are you afraid?"
: It was her Cousin Kate who utter
ed this, and the tone would have rons
ed Rose to any effort" in a strange
flutter of nerve and brain she began.
. Don't get excited ;" and Dr. Cal
tran smiled cheerily.
' "Rose's mood was to uncertain at
first to sway Miss Caltran, who mov
ed uneasily, and vainly cssaj-ed .to
speak Her brother approached to
tranquillize her. It was some
time before any coherent auswers
could be obtained, and then Rose
was wrought up to a 'stiange pitch.
Bome sudden presentiment concern
ing her lover filled her mind with
appiehenson. -As if translating the
young girl's emotion, Miss Caltran
began slowly : '
"Your friend is iii great danger
great danger. He is flying as if for
life, first this way and then that way
'making a tortuous motion with her
hand. He is on the river the ice
and ' something follows him fast.
Hark, do yon hear a sharp cry ?"
Rose turned deathly white in spite
of her strong effort.
"Is he coming here?" she asked,
scarcely knowing what she said.
"Oh, Heavens J they are gaining
upon fast. He goes like the wind,
but they too are fleet."
Miss Caltran sighed and evinced
much agitation. Her respiration
: was labored and painful.
; "My God ! what fools we are' ex
claimed Rose's cousin George.
"Vance has skated up on the river
and been followed by a pack of
wolves. One was killed a day or
two ago, and several have been seen
prowling round. Run for your lives
boys ! Let us get something and go
to his assistance."'
Rose stood spell bound. For a
' moment the room swam around, and
the stars of heaven appeared to fill
every space.
George -thrust on his cap and coat
and sluns his me over 11 is suouiaer
Two or three followed suit, and the
rooms were in a whirl of confusion.
"Let me eo too;" Rose almost
shrieked.
' Mt child, there mw be some
mistake " said Dr. Caltraa soothing
le. n1pmvJ at the coBsesiHeiaccs of
his Bister's vision. ' ; .
"No'there isn't I told him to
skate. The horses were to be out,
Yw. I must sro." and she crowded
clown an hysterical sob.
.; Whether true or not, Rose was in
nsonv of despair. The horrible vis
ion Georcrc's words conjured up,
mad a a mora vivid one in her brain.
Her face, that had been so brilliant
a short 'time before, was now the
lhe picture, of anguish. She could
. not help thinking that if any evil
bad befallen him it was clearly her
fault- How many times she had
tormented him almost l)yond endnr
ance ; been cool, capricious, laughed
at his tenderness and longinj for
love. Arrainging her heart for
.judgement, she found it lial been
bitterly cruel to ihe one man for
whom she would give her life, if oc
pasiou required.
Ail this passed through her brain
J.Wt n. uau. She bad found
her
sliawl and hqpd, and was .following
the others, when her aunt would
have restrained her.
"Let her go," interposed Dr. Cal
tian, returning to his sister.
Down the road like a shadow
wraith she sped. It was but a short
walk to the the river, and in a few
moments she had caught up with the
men, while tier cousin were tar be
hind. Hark ! what was that ? A sick
ening, despairing cry, a wail of mor
tal agony that had passed the bounds
of endurance. Rose recognized it,
and answered involuntarily. With
that one burst, Charley Vance gave
up hope, and turned upon his pur
suers. In the moonlight, his eyes
glaied back to those fierce balls, and
there was a deathlv pause. . The
suddenness amazed the unreasoning
brutes, but JJio foremost crouched to
spriug. . . : .
A ball went whizzing by, so close
ly that he felt the hot breath upon
his eheek. Then a j'ell, ending in a
howl of maddening pain. -Another
report, and footsteps, voices , yet he
did not stir.
"Ob, Charley! Charley!" and the
next instant Rose lay senseless at
his feet.
At first he could not think, from
utter surprise and a sense of deliver
ance that overwhelmed him. He
knelt beside her, trembling in every
limb, and the rest thronged around.
The discomfited enemy were retiring
with savage cries, and two corpses
lay stretched upon the ice.
" I can't imagine," he began trem
ulously. "Don't try," said George. "It's
the strangest thing that ever hap-
pened. (Jan von walk home i 1 11
take Rose." And Grorge picked
her up as if she had been a baby.but
not before Charley had pressed one
convulsive kiss upon her lips.
The little cavalcade marched slow-
y homeward, for Charley's strength
was well-nigh exhausted. Afar they
heard angry .nuttering, but it was no
cause of alarm. Rose soon revived.
Finding herself in her cousin's arms,
sS5 struggled and called Charley.
"He" Deeds some one to help him
along," George explained good-naturedly.
"Let me walk I am quite well,"
she said with a touch of the old im
periousness and being fre?d, she was
by Charle3''s side.
"My darling !" and with a in
vent clasp she was held to his heart.
"Oh, Charley ! I've been so selfish
and cruel ! I wonder if you ever can
forgive me ? And that I should have
endangered your life for my foolish
caprices !', ;
She quite broke down there, and
ended with a sob.
"Hush, dear I thought once it
was all over with me, but God inter
posed. In that moment, as He can
bear witness, my soul was filled with
sweetest memories of vou. But I
don't understand how they all came
to my assistance."
"The strangest part of it "
" Don't spoil the story, Rose,"
said sentinel George, who was bring
ing up the rear.
So it was kept until they were all
together in the spacious sitting room
Dr. Caltron was electrified at seeing
Charley. His sister was quite her
self, with the exception of a head
ache. The curious explanation was made
at length, and those who could not
understand, could as little denj
Then Charley repeated his adventure
thrilling them all with his narrow es
cape.
"They had gained on me so fast,
that it seems as if I could not have
held out another moment. - Beside
the short distance on the river.there
was the walk up to the house, and
at that instant my courage out utter
ly. Thank God for the assistance !"
"II )3o's bright eyes . were full of
tears.
Th re was no.more dancing, and
Roe u.ircd to be attractive for only
one. Charley lay on the sofa after
they had all dispersed, looking pale
and fatigued, but the spirit beside
him was as bright as her own name
sake, and perhaps as sweet. ,
"Chariey" her ; voice was low
and faltering "I wont make you
wait until midsummer. You may
take me any timeyou like, and I II
try to be a blessing instead of a
trouble. I love you dearly, dearly.
I shall never teas you about it again
never."
"My dearest !" and he kissed the
tender lips for their fond confession.
"Why I'd run all tiie risk again for
so sweet a reward."
But Rose never heard the story
of his wild flight without a shiver
and a prayer of thankfulness.
End of a Humbug
Ohio Democrats will do well to
ponder the following from the
ablest of the Democratic papers
the Arew York World :
The pretense of the Cincinnati
Enquirer that Mr. Pendleton's green
back theory is still a live issue, is
sheer nonsense It was argumen
tively exploded by Governor Sey
mour's able speech in June. It was
for all purposes killed by the Con
vention in July in the successful
struggle to defeat its author. The
October and November elections
gave it the finishing stroke, by
showing that it could not command
the sur port of Mr. Pendleton's own
State. Having been thus repudia
ted, rfter a short lived ' popularity,
by the Democratic National Con
vention, by Mr. Pendleton's own
State of Ohio, and by the country,
the mortification of hi3 friends can
not galvanize it into life by sense
less aspirations of it3 early opponents
The World is not the organ of
bondholders, but 01 common sense.
The bonds cannot be paid in green
backs without . an act of Congress
for that purpose, and a3 the Senate
is irreversibly Republicans for the
next four years, no such an act can
within that time be passed.- - It is to
be hoped that before the expiration
of that period we shall reach specie
payments, when the question van
ishes even according to the retracted
greenback plan in the July platform,
which asserts that the public debt
is to be paid in gold where gold is
expressly promiseu, uu u giecu
htw.ba uriiere it is not. It thus as
serts that every part of the debt is
fr lw naif! in one OT the other: and
when the two are at par, it will make
no difference which.

Mutoes On the 12th inst. the
House passed the following resolu
tion by a vote of 154 against 6.
" And whereas, such a sentiment, if
permitted to go to the world with
out immediate protest, might be the
sentiment of the people of the Uni
ted States, and of their representa
tives in Congress ; therefore,
Resolved That all forms and de
grees of repudiation of the national
indebtedness are odious to the Amer
ican people, and under no circum
stances will their representatives con
sent to offer the public creditor as
full campensation a less amount of
money than that whicu the govern
ment contracted to pay.
Those who voted against the res-
oluJ'on were Adams, Archer, G rover,
Jones (of Kentucky),- Mungeu an!
Trimb'e ( of Kentucky).
Now will some leader of the of the
Democracv hereabouts, inform us
whether the Honorable Mungen, by
his vote on that occasion, reflected
the sentiments of the Democracy of
this District ?

In this country, although business
is transacted on a paper .basis, gold
is the standard of value. Uo into
a jewelry store and price a watch.
There you will find gold prices and
currency prices. The wateli is
8150 in gold. It can be bought at
that. But -ou propose to pay for
it in greenbacks. Very good. The
price in greenbacks would be 8202
50-100. Reverse the proposition.
The price of the watch in greenbacks
13 8202 oO-lOO, but you propose to
pay for it i-n gold. Very good. The
price in gold is 8150. The jeweler
imported the watch and paid for it
in gold. His price is fixed at what
it cost in gold. The purchaser can
pay for it in gold at par or in green
backs at a discount.
Let ns take another case : United
States 5-20 bonds are worth, ex
dividend, 107 in currency, or 79
18-100 in gold. The United States
government has a perfect right to
buy those bonds at the market price,
i currencj-. Has it not?. Suppose
it should sell one hundred millions
of gold and use the currency in
buying bonds at their market value ?
Would that be repudiation? Not
at all. Yet it would be paying that
much of the debt at 79 cents on the
dollar in gold. If it should retire
the bonded debt in that way, the
saving would be 400 millions, or
one-fifth of , the whole. Yet the
holders of the bonds would get their
full value, aud, therefore, no one
would suffer. It is one thing to
manufacture currency to pay the
debt, and quite another to use the
outstanding currency to cancel the
debt, or a portion of it.
Why are 6 per cent, bonds worth
only 74 in gold, in London ? Be
cause they are worth only 110, in
cluding interest, in New York, in a
currency which is worth 74 in gold.
Thus we see that foreign holders of
our bonds are satisfied to sell them
at 74 in gold. Why, then, should
we break our necks in an effort to
pay a debt at 100 cents on the dol
lar, or in gold, when we can do it
easily and honestly at 74 to 80;
giving, at the same time, to the hol
ders of those bonds, their full mar
ket value, and more than they cost.
Cinn. Gazette. ;
Mr. Johns u will go into history
as a man whose public career has
exhibited him in the three-fold
character of drunkard, rebel, and
repudiator.
One would have supposed that
the President, in closing his official
term, in making his tareweu address
to the American people, in bequeath
ing his last will and testament to
posterity, would have endeavored
to win back some of those golden
opinions with which his country
men unwittingly honored him at
the beginning of the war. But ever
since he first disclosed his real self to
the world's "eye, it has been apparent
that his .final epitaph would be Mac
aulay's remark of Sir Antony Astley
Cooper: "Every part of his life re
flected infamy on evert .other. -When
in a few. weeks, his term "shall end,
and he shall go back to load in person
the Ku-Klux Klans in Tennessee, he
will be found by his old neighbors
to be a more rusted corroded, and
mild wed thing than the ancient tin
sign in Greenville which still says
"A. Johnson, Tailor." The sight
of that rusty sign will, perhaps,
make him wish that he had never
laid aside his needle and thread;
and he will then, for the first time
in three years,' be of the same opin
ion with his fellow-countrymen. y.

A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, The President of the
United States has heretofore set
forth several proclamations, offered
amnesty and pardon to persons who
had been, r were concerned in the
late rebellion against the lawful au
thority of the goveroment of the
United States, which proclamations
were severally issned on the 8th day
of December," 18C3, ;. on the 26th of
March,1864 ; on the 29th day of May,
1SG5 ; on the 7ih day of September,
I8G7, and on the 4th day of July, of
the present 3'ear ; and
Whereas, The authority of the
Federal government having been re
established in all the States and
Territories within the jurisdiction of
the United States, it i3 believed that
such Presidential reservations and
exceptions as at the date of said sev
eral proclamations, were deemed ne
cessary and proper, may be wisely
and justly relinquished, and that an
universal amnesty and pardon for
participation in said rebellion, ex
tended to all who have borne any
part therein, will lend to secure per
manent peace, order and prosperity
throughout tne lana ana to renew
and fully restore confidence and fra
ternal feeling among the whole peo
ple, and their respect for, and at
tachment to the National govern-
hment designed by its patriotic
founders for the general good ;
Now, therefore,J)e it known that
I, Ansrew Johnson. Presidentof the

directly or iudirctly participated in
the late insurrection or rebellion a
full pardon and amnesty for the off

Christmas Eve, 1868, will long be
remembered by both young and old.
as the advent of "Kriss Kringle," in
the M. E. Church of this place. The
occasion was a Sunday School Pic
nic. The Church was deusJ v pack
ed, each class being well represented
besides many visitors. The S. B.
Banner, which stood in front, was
trimmed in a most tasteful man.'ier,
and, indeed, pronounced beautif'i;!.
Very interesting and appropriate
speeches were made by Moses Gib
son, Esq., of this place, and Rev.
Mr. Lunt, of Fostoria, aftpr which
the deputies of Santa Claus presented
each member of the School with a
budget containing many and various
good things. "Santa" had also pro
vided a treat for the spectators, and
thus none were slighted.
A large and handsome cake was
presented to Rev. Mr. Lunt, Mr.
Gibson making the presentation
speech, which was responded to in
a very appropriate manner. As a
closing scene, and, as a token of
esteem and gratitude, a small roll of
"legal tender" was ' handed to each
of the speakers. The whole pro
ceed ngs were interspersed with
splendid music, which did much
towards making the affair the suc
cess it was. All retired well pleased,
and, we hope, fully resolved never
to abandon the Sunday School
cause. It was good to be there. :

Lamp Explosion Tfrrible
Death. Mrs. John Coffman, who
resided in the vici-iity of the "Rock
Mill" some six miles west, of Lan
caster, lost her life on Friday Even
ing last, from the effects of the ex
plosion of an ardinarj' coal oil lamp.
About 8 o'clock while sitting by the
stand on which the lamp was placed,
engaged in sewing, the oil being
low, she observed to a young man
present that the flame was rising
and falling in a singular manner ;
and getting up from her sea , she
took the lamp in one hand while
with the other she commenced
turning down the wick. In an in
stant the explosion occurred, throw
ing the fluid over her person, and
enveloping her clothing in flames
which rose to a height of three feet
above her head. The young man,
who was suffering from lameness,
did all in his power to -extinguish
the flames, but before it could be
accomplished the lady was so hor
ribly burned as to cause her death
at an early hour on the following
morning. Her husband was tem
poral ily absent from the house at
the time of the accident; as were
also, we-' understand, three j'oung
children, who, in this awful manner
have been so snddenly bereft of a
loving mother. Lancaster Gazette.

roads a great city could not exist.
It could not be fed : it could not be

We do not sec half their importance.
UNIVERSAL AMNESTY
PARDON.
Gen. Sherman's speech at the
Soldier's Banquet, at Chicago, is
equal to a five hundred pound, shell
in the Rebel-Democratic camp.
Sherman had here a proper oppor
tunity to answer the calumnies
which, under the guise of friendship,
the Democratic and rebel press had
circulated concerning him. He
tells them plainly that he has no
sympathy with the State-Rights-Se-cession-Democracj'.
lie was rear
ed and educated in a different school.
He is too old to learn new theories.
The doctrines of Washington, Knox,
Franklin, Hamilton and Adams are
good enough for him. He don't
believe in State sovereignty. That
theory involves nullification, seces
sion. treason he will have none. of
it; it has cost us too much in blood
treasure already. He has" faith in
the destiny of the American Repub
lie; and is ready to labor toil and,
if necessary, fight, to realize the
idea of a great, united homogeneous
and free people.
These ideas are in direct antago
nism to modern Demoerac3 and
hence the p.art3 organs- are barking
at Gen. Sherman's heels. They de
nounce him without stint, and char
acterize him as an imperialist and
all that sort of thing. r The Cincin
nati Enquirer charges him with
falsifying history, and in reply to
his assertion that he loves all parts
of his country alike, throws into
his face the fact that he inflicted a
terrible punishment on the aristo
cratic secessionists of South Caroli
na. The Enquirer says that "if he
loves all his country alike, it must
simply be the land, lor he hates the
people of one section of the Union
with malignant and bitter intensity."
In this the Enquirer is wide of the
truth. Gen. Sherman does not, and
never did, look upon the few aristo
cratic families of South Carolina as
the people of that State he knows
that they are not. Further than
that, he makes 110 pretension to lov
ing his enemies and the enemies of
hiscountrj'. He is not a demagogue;
he is not for sale, and hence the en
mity of the leaders of the Democrat
ic party. C. Journal.

Ayer's Cathartic Pills,
For all the Purposes of a Lax
ative Medicine.
Perhaps no one
medicine is souniver
eally required by ev
erybody as a cathar
tic, nor was ever an
before eo universally
uuupiea into use, in
every country and
tft-gg&. among all classes, as
cms mild bnt effi-
cient purgative Pill.
The obvious reason is, that it is a
more reliable and far more effectual
remedy than any other. Those who have
tried it, know that it cured them ; those
who have not, know that it cures their
neighbors and lriends, and all know that
what it does once it does always that it
never fails through any fault or neglect of
-us t;uiu-tsixion. w e nave thousands upon
thousands of certifieates-of theirremarkable
cures of tne following complaints, but such
cures are known in every neighborhood ,and
we need not publith them. . Adapted to all
ages and conditions in all climates; con
taining neither calomel or any deleterious
drug, they may be taken with Bafety by
anybody. Their sugar coating preserves
them ever fresh and makes them pleasantto
take, while being purely vegetable no harm
can arise from their use in any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence
on the internal viscera to purify the blood
and stimulate it into healthy action re
move the obstructions of the stomach, bow
els, liver and othf r organs of the body, re
storing their irregular aetion to health ,and
by correcting wherever they exist, sue! de
rangeinen's us are the first origin of disease
Minute directions are given in the wrap
per on the box, for the following com
plaints, which these Pills rapidly cure:
For DvspEFsrA or Indigestios, Listless
ness, Languor anil Loss of Aitetite, they
should be taken moderately to stimulate
the stomach and restore its healthy tone and
action.
For Lives ToMPLAiXTand its various symp
toms, Bilious Headache. Sick Headache.
Jaundice, or Green Sicksess, Bilious Colic
and Bilious 1-evers. thev should b iudi-
ciously taken for ach case, to correct the
diseased action or remove tne obstructions
which cause it.
For Dysentery or Diarrhoea, but one
mild doso is generally required.
For Kheumatism, Gout, Gravel. Palpita
tion of the Heart, Pain in the Side, Back
ana i.oins, tney sliou'd be continuous
taken, as required, to change the diseased
action of the system With such change
tiius vuiupiainis aisappear.
tor Dropsy and Dkopstcal Swellings
the? should be tal en in l-rge and frequent
doses to produce the effect of a drastic purge.
for suprRESsiON a large dose should be
taken, as it produces the desired effect by
sympathy.
As a Dinner PiLL. take one or two pills
to promote diges ion and relieve the sto
mach. An occasional do9e stimulates thestomach
ana bowels into healthy action, restores
me appetite, and ln-vigoratts the system.
Hence it is often advan.ageous where no se
rious derangement exists. One who feels
well, often finds that a dose of these Pills
makes him feel decidedly better, from their
cleansing and renovating enect on the di
tive apparatus.
