The Columbus Crisis still eticks lo it that

there was a Iraud perpetrated in the organi-

ration of the late Ohio Democratic Stale

Convention, and it intimates in its last re.

mark that the Democracy will get whippedat the election to pay for this fraud TheCrisis says

As to organizing the Convention out of or-der and out of time, before half the Dele-gates trot into the hall, is too palpably trueto explain or evade. How came such a trioas Jabe Fitch, J'r. Hex and Amos Laymanall there, and ready lor work? Layman wasnot even a delegate—yet all his assistant!were delegates! lie had no vote in the Con-vention, yet he presided Over a long list ofassistants who had vote?.

Jabe Fitch knew this when be reported thepermanent officers before the names of thedelegates had been reported to make thematter sure. Rex knew his business well,and so with the other two. The practiceof the Chairman ol the Slate Central Com-mittee calling the Convention to order, wasto prevent just such tricks as this, and wehave said enough, we hope, to prevent, suchmen ever attempting the same tiling overagain, whereby ill feeling and disorder is

produced, where good-leeling and harmonyshould exist.

We saw one of our National Conventionscoma near being broken entirely up by justsuch a forestalling trick, but unlike thismovement, it defeated itself belore it gotthrough

: we then made a harmonious Dorainalion and a triumphant election. Theidea of Democratic success without honestvis a humbug.

Jerusalem Eighteen Hundred nud ThirtyYears. Ago.

The republication of the following article

at this interesting season of the Christian

Church will doubtless prove instructive. It

originally appeared iu the Boston Journalmany years ago

:

Many are not aware of the stirring andmomentous events which took place in thecity ol Jerusalem during the six days A. D.

33, the anniversary of which occurred thepast week. Few, also, are conscious of themet that the record of the doings of thatshort period of time occupies one quarterpart of St. Matthew's Gospel, more than aquarter ol Mark's, nearly as much in Luke,and more than a third of John.Out of the eighty-nine chapters of the four

gospels, twenty five are filled with the recordof what transpired during these six davnof the history of our Lobd and Savior, JbscsChristThe events of each of these days are bo

clearly marked that it is easy to note themIrom day to day, beginning with his Irium-pliant entrance info the "Holy City'' on thefirst day, and his crucifixion on the sixth

Having arrived at Bethany six days before the Jewish Passover, Jesus and bis dis

ciples there passed the night. Taking thedays as we now call them, the following is

a brief index to the occurences of each day:Sunday Morning—Christ enters Jerusa-

lem in triumph. Goes to the Temple, andcast out buyers, p-ellers, money-changers, Sec.

Throughout the greater purl of nominalCirrietendom, this week, called "PassionWeek," i-i celebrated with solemn religious

services, and especially Friday last, com-monly called ' 'Good Friday."

The Story isj a Nut Shell.Mr. Morehead, the member of Congress

Irom the Pittsburg (Pennsylvania) District,

in a speech made a few days since in theHouse, gave a very suecint history of treason,as follows

:

The country was in the midst ol a revolution when Mr. Buchanan retired, and hasbeen on the brink of a revolution at differ-ent times for thirty years.Jackson suppressed treason in 1332. Jeff.

Davis and his fellow conspirators made somesigns of beginning a revolution under oldZach Taylor in 1850 when California wasadmitted as a free State, but the hero of Bue-na Vista squelched it by announcing thathe would hang the first rebel who dared tolift a hand against the Union, and JeffDavis knew well he would do it. Theyprepared for it while Pierce lived in theWhite Honse and Davis governed the coun-try.

A Lovs of a Bonnet.—A fashiou wri-

ter in the New York Times describes a

new bonnet—the only one of the kind yet

launched—which all the ladies arc rushing

to see, as follows i

The bonnet is called the "Night Bloom-ing Cereus," and so far as we have been

able to find out is the only one in the city.

It is of the finest white chip, exquisitely

beautiful and trimmed on the outside with

a boquet of the rare and beautiful "NightBlooming Cereus.'' The flower is made of

threads of pearl and while silk, Bprinkled

over with dewdrops, so natural as to deceive

the most practical eye at first sight. It is

fastened to the bonnet with a pearl clasp,

curtain of white blonde, face trimmings

white star flowers set in illusion—the strings

of white ribbon

Old Things.—Give me the old songs, those

exquisite burst of Melody which thrilled the

lyres of the inspired poets and ministrels of

long ago. Every note has borne on the air a

tale of joy and rapture—of sorrow and sad-

ness ! They tell of days gone by, and time

hath given them a voice which speaks to us

of those who once breathed these melodies

—of what they now are, and what we soon

shall be. My heart loves those melodies ;

mav they, be mine to hear till life shall end,

and as I "launch my boat" upon the sea of

eternity, may their echoes be wafted to myear, to" cheer me on mv passage from the

scenes of earth and earfhlatid !

Give me the old paths, where we have

wandered and culled the flowers of love and

friendship, in the days of "Auld Lang Syne;"

sweeter, far, the dells whose echoes have an-

swered to our voices; whose turf is not a

stranger to our footsteps, and whose rills

have in childhood's days reflected back our

lorms, and those of our merry play fellows,

from whom we have been parted, and meet

no more in the old nooks we loved so well.

May the old paths be watered with Heaven's

own dew. and be green forever in my tneiu

orv I

Give me the old house, upon whose stairs

we seem to hear light footsteps, and under

whose porch a merry laugh teems to mingle

with the winds that whistle through old

trees, beneath whose branches lie the graves

of those who once trod the halls, and made

the chambers ring with glee.

And 0! above all, give me the old friends

—hearts bound to mine in life's sunshiny

hours, and a link so strong that all the

storms of earth might not break it asunder

—spirits congenial, whose hearts through

life have throbbed in unison with our own I

O, when death shall still this heart, I would

not ask for aught more sacred to hallow tny

dual, than the tear of and old friend. Maymv funeral dirge be chanted by the old

friends I love so fondly, who have not yet

passed away to the spirit's bright home!

Editor Frankfort Commonwealth .

Tlint slavery U not the nature/ condition

ot any man, is proved by the desire ol all

men lor freedom. It is nn abnormal social

contlitiou, resulting from force and domin-

ion. When established, that good men are

ofleii slaveholders needs no argument. That

it is an institution which can not last forever

il proved by the oft repeated verdict of his-

tory, and tne lell, but not always expressed,

conviction of intelligent minds That it is

in extremely difficult, if not a dangerous,

subject of legislation, is proved by the con-

duct of thousands of anti slavery men in

our midst, who, in times past, have omitted

it, out of a confessed incapacity to handle

it successfully and wisely, preferring to leave

its solution to time and Providbnok, rather

[ban risk the result of legislation. He who

hopes to perpetuate it. will be mistaken. He

who seeks its sudden and violent destruction,

is serving ueither God nor man ;but cursing

both master and slave

The history of this subject in Kentucky,

has been curious It is true that in the

conventions that framed our first Constitu-

tions there was a very respectable emancipa-

tion element,— respectable in its character,

as well as in numbers In 1822, the mem-

bers of the Kentucky Legislature nominated

Mr. Ci.ay to the people of the United

States for the Presidency. A committee, ap-

pointed to correspond with the membersof tbe Ohio Legislature, in urging the

the fitness of Mr. Clay's nomination said:

"We apprehend that no mistake could be

greater than that which would impute to

him, the wish to extend the acknowledgedevils of slavery : for we are persuaded, that

uo one entertains a stronger sense of its mis-

chiefs than he does, or a more ardent desire,

by all prudent and constitutional means, to

extirpate it from our land," and proceed to

state, that tor more than twenty years, he

had been in favor of the gradual abolition

of slavery. This letter is signed by Wm. T.

Barry. K. C. Anderson. 3.Cm Breckin-

Rowan and II. W Patton, and is found on

page 148-9, of .fudge Robertson's excellent

''Scrap Book or Law and Politics, Men and

Times.",

Wheu the Convention assembled to frame

our present Constitution, public sentiment

seems to have undergone a change. Oneclause seems to recognise the right of the

people, at any lime, to change their Govern-

ment; another, makes amendment impracti-

cable, under seven years. Another clause,

declares "the right of property is belore andhigher than any constitutional sanction : andthe right of an owner of a slave to such

slave, and its increase, is the same and as

inviolable as the right ot the owner of anyproperty whatever." To a candid lawyer,

or to any one at all versed in the elements

of the governmental compact, this is a re-

markable declaration. If it was designed

as an attempt to express the familiar idea,

that the notion of property, meum et tuum, is

natural with man, and precedes written law,

it was a very awkward attempt. Xo onedoubts the primary maxim. But here, in

order to assert the inviolability of an interest

that was in no danger, a false principle is

assumed, that the right of property is not

only before, but higher than any constitution-'

al sanction. A right that is higher thanconstitutional sanction is beyond constitu-

tional divestment, and that this is the mean-ing, is shown by the asserted inviolability

in tbe same context. The right of eminent

domain, inherent in all sovereignty, and the

right ol organized society to control the use

of properly, and even to declare, in the fun-

damental law, what shall be property, are

here swept away at a dash of the pen.

Whatever is higher than constitutional

sanction is independent of it. and such sanelion would not avail it in the day of trouble.

The natural elements, or foundation, of prop-

erty are labor, discovery, possession. It is

recognized and secured, and transmitted, bycivil institutions

—

Constitutional sanction. But,

as every man by nature owns his own labor,

which creates value, or property, under this

declaration, the right of property, beinghigher tlian.euch sanction, the slave becomesfree at the death ol the master. Ol couree,

no respectable Court would decide thus,

—

the palpable intention being so contrary.The strong man who first enters the demesne,or seizes the slave, on the death of the mas-ter can hold against the devisees who claimunder the will, and against the heirs whoclaim under the descent cast, coolly telling

them, that devise, descent inheritance, con-veyances, records, are mere trifles of legal

invention and Constitutional sanction; butthat his right is before and higher thanthese, for he is in, by possession, control,dominion. It is a lawless, revolutionarydoctrine. Instead of settling, it unsettleseverything. It is now only referred to asone of tbe many mistakes of those whowould quiet their own apprehensions by nnsound and severe legislation.

We are now called to look upon slaveryin the light of the fires of a revolution,Jrather than the principles of law and political

philosophy. Aristotle says, that politicians

must consider, not what is best, but what is

practicable;—the meaning of which is, that,if we can not have things as we would, wewill do the best we can with things as thevare How are we situated ? Therearep.ilpably two revolutions at work in the land :

One to destroy the Government; and one todestroy slavery It is idle to deny, thatmany of the friends of the Government, asagainst the rebellion, are revolutionists, asagainst slavery. Kentucky has taken herstand for the Government, and against therebellion. To say nothing of principle, andconsulting only our own interets, it is toolate to change fronts. But the Administra-tion, the agents of the people to carry on theGovernment, are doing many things whichmany Kentuckians can not approve. Theydenounce them as violations of the Consti-tution, and gross assumptions of power.But what shall we do? Simply protest; orresist? It is palpable we can not make for-

cible resistance without becoming that in-stant allied with the rebellion. Our princi-ples and our interest alike forbid this. Itwould wrap the State in a sheet of flame,and baptise it in a lake of blood. One ofthese revolutions will succeed, and the otherwill fail. I speak plainly We must dealwith facts. This Union will be divided, and

wo make Kentucky the battle ground of

ages; or the Government will succeed, and

its success over the rebellion now means the

ultimate extinction of slavery on the conti-

nent. I state this as a friend of the Govern-

ment, an advocate of the war, and a con-

stant opponent of the present programme of

the war. In supporting the war, are w«not practically supporting the programmeof universal emancipation ? That may be;

but we are no more guilty in that respect

than those in rebellion. Every dollar of

its thousands o 1 millions has been given to

the cause of abolition.

The ever recurring question presents it-

self, "What shall we do?' A world has

sprung to arms without our bidding, for no

offence of ours, and against our entreaties

We stand between the two surging powers.

To stand still, or resist both, is to be ground

to atoms. We will abide the fortunes of

the Government. Universal freedom, in-

convenient as it may prove, for a while, is

better than universal anarchy. Though we

do not approve all that isdone, we deal with

facts as they are. We must either resist the

Government, or accept that solution of a

great problem now infallibly pointed to by

events that have got beyond our control.

In doing this, we may go with any party

we like, just so they are for the Government.

We are about to enter a great presidential

campaign. Let it be conducted kindly, and

with respect. We will be divided in our

opinions. We may afford that; but cannot

afford a jot more There will probably be

but two candidates,—Mr. Lincoln and Gen.

McClkllan They will receive tbe support

of men of every possible shade of opinion

Those who support Mr. Lincoln should not

be held responsible for the opinions of the

proscriptive red republican revolutionists,

who support the war only as an abolition

measure, and will give Aim a very cold sup-

port Those who support Gen McClellanshould not be held responsible for the semi-

treasonable opinions of those who would

acknowledge the Confederacy, rather than

support the war another day ,and who will

give him a very cold support. Those whosupport Mr. Lincoln should not undertake,

by a fierce State contest, to hasten in our

midst that which events will bring about as

fast as is well for either race Those whosupport Gen McCi.kllan need not expect

to prevent, or indefinitely postf-one. that

which must come out of this contest. In

any and all events, we will (if not mad) keep

the peace among •urselvesObskp.vkk

Boyle County Aguin.

E>li!vr Frankfort Commonwealth:

A meeting of the Conservative Union par-

ty alias, the Copperhead and Secesh, of

Boyle county, is again advertised for April

18, to be held at the Court House, it being

Court dav. All are invited to be present,

who are opposed to the Convention at Balti-

more, "now and forever," and under all cir-

cumstances, and all conditions Speeches

may be looked for from gentlemen who were

anciently oldJWhigs, then modern Democrats,

ntore recently Secession Democrats—now

have no objection to becoming Union Dem-ocrats, for the nonce. This is the third at-

tempt at a regular affiliation of all the

"Conservatives" of Boyle. The first was a

complete fizzle.—all the Secesh brethren

were duly on hand : but the Unionists had

not got their courage up to the sticking point,

and so the "Peace Democrats ' could not

find the meeting. A second wa* railed, and

the citizens generally attended,and, on the

motion of Hon. Joshua F. Bell refused to

appoint delegates to the Louisville Chicago

Convention ;preferring to wait and see what

kind of a convention that was to be, before

pledging the life-blood of Kentucky to sus-

tain it. N'o delegates were nominated to the

Baltimore Convention, for the same reason.

A third attempt is now to be made to unite

alf persons opposed to the Government, andin favor of the everlasting nigger,—Unionor no Union—come what will,

—

Jeep. Davis or Lincoln—into a "party" to be called

the Democratic Conservative party of Boylecounty. This last endeavor will no doubtbe successful. It is to be hoped no one will

interfere. Let the "miscegenation" be complete —

"Black spirits and white;

Red spirits and grey :

Mingle, mingle, mingle,You that mingle may.

Joshua F. Bell.—Great injustice has beendone this gentleman, in connection with his

speech, and the defeat made, at hia motion,of the effort to appoint delegates, as men-tioned above, to the Chicago-Louisville Con-vention, by the extremists on both sides

The "Contributor" to the Cincinnati Gazettemade it the occasion of a second virulent at-

tack on Mr. Bell—savoring more of person-al pique than public considerations— for amost unworthy aspersion of the motives andcharacter of Mr. Bell, The Louisville Jour-nal, on the contrary, ascribed his course to

exactly a different motive,—and brandedhim M an embryo abolitionist, and read! himdown from the head to the tail of the Unionoartv The best defense to be made of MrBell's course is this double attack from op-

posite quarters. Both can not be true, andone answers the other, and shows both to beunfounded.

Chancellor Nicholas.—The most narrow-minded, spiteful, and contemptible produc-tions that this whole war has brought forth,

are tw.i articles recently published in theLouisville Journal, by Chancellor Nicholas,headed "Emancipation" Nos. 1 and 2. Whatis the meaning of this headiug does not ap-

pear. Judge Nicholas has always been anemancipationist, and was a leading memberof the Emancipation Convention which metat Frankfort in 1849. The whole drift of

the two numbers published, is a most vir

ulent and false attack on New England—its

history and character The writer of this

notice is a Virginian and Kentuckian by

birth and education, and every sympathy ;

but he cannot read such productions withoutthe ineffable scorn and digu9t which every

true and large minded American must feel.

It has been just such malignant and narrowminded attacks, made on the South and onthe North, by non-Americans on both sides,

that has produced this wretched war; and it

is just such men as Chancellor Nicholas,men of great ability, and greater malignity,who keep it up, and will ever keep the twosections from cordial union, until these bitter

malignants mutually kill off each other, orarc crushed at home, as they deserve to be.

1 was greatly gratified to see that Mr.Prentice has himself extracted tbe venomfrom Judge Nicholas's articles, and with in

imitable skill shown them up. The Journalhas done a noble work for Kentucky. Pityit should be drifting now -ntn „ oosition in

which it can do ' itle good, and may domuch harm ."lie Journal ought to havekept itself at the head of Kentucky feelingand Unionism It is in great danger now of

working abreast with the Louisville Demo-crat, and of itself getting off the Uniontrack at some way station. Surely Editors

j

and gentlemen who havo battled so noblyfor the Uniou, and have been among themost potent and efficient instruments for thepreservation of Kentucky within its sacredprecincts, arc not prepared to unite their destinies with Democracy, for good or for evil,

and to abide its decision at Chicago, what-ever it may be.

Let Kentucky keep aloof from all ex-tremes ; in the mean lime heartily support-ing the Government, and submitting to whatshe can't help, though she may not approve I

it—and holding fast to the Union.Come what may.

I'rom »>.. ... i '.unity.

One ol the most prominent and worthy;

citizens of Mason county writes to lis as fol-l

lows :

—

Editor Frankfort Commonwealth:I am informed that you publish an un-

conditional Union paper, and do not giveaid and comfort to the enemy. Under thisinformation, I request you to send to meyour paper.Kentucky has occupied a peculiar posi-

tion since the commencement of tbe war.She at first assumed a neutral position ; asif neutrality was possible, when the life ofthe nation is involved in the issue. Theeffect of this position was to withdraw fromthe Union

; refuse to abide the laws of theNation; to furnish either men or money to

aid in the prosecution of the war ;—with theassurance, that she would not go over andjoin the "Southern Confederacy."

Kentucky has changed her attitude iu re-

lation to these great questions: and, in theopinion of the world and nation, she is

looked upon as occupying a double position.

As promising the Administration to furn-

ish her quota of men and money, to carry

on the war and close out the rebellion; and,

at the same time, promising the rebels andcopperheads to assist them to whip the abolitionists. remove the President and the

majority o( Congress, who they charge as

being abolitionists, and to enable them to

elect a President and Congress me-re favora-

ble to the "Southern Confederacy.'

By this course Kentucky has lost the

confidence ol the Nation and forfeited the

respect of the ConfederacyIt is time the State had taken some firm

stand on the subject, and cease to court the

the sympathies of secessionists and copper-

heads. This can be doue, by a decisive

vote of the State as to the choice of the

Convention in which she will be represented

to nominate candidates for President andVice President She has now to eleet

whether she will be represented in ihe

Baltimore, or the Chicago ConventionThe probabilities are, that the Union sen-

timent of the Nation will be most freely

represented by the Baltimore Convention,

and that the secessionists and copperheadswill have a large delegation in the ChicagoConvention, if they have not a majority of

that Convention.If this be true, the Baltimore Convention

will give to us candidates, who will be in

favor of prosecuting the war, putting downthe rebellion, and saving the nation; andthe Chicago Convention may select candi-

dates more favorable to the "Southern Con.federacy," who will seek to strike down all

the war measures of the country, and to

make peace, at the sacrifice of the life of the

nation.

With these views, I do not hesitate as to

the course Kentucky, should pursue. Sheshould abandon her equivocal position, comeout boldly for the Union, and the enforce-

ment of the laws, send her delegates to the

Baltimore Convention, and support the nom-inees of that Convention.

Kentucky is constantly imperiled by the

Confederate armies and raiders, hovering onher borders, entering the State, stealing androbbing our people. We need the sympathyand assistance of all our Union friends in

the nation, and to obtain this .sympathy andcordial assistance, we must not only be loyal

and virtuous, but a,bove suspicion.

I wish you to work faithfully for old Ken-tucky, and to do your full duty iu trying to

keep her in her proper position.

We intend to have a good Union meetinghereon the second Monday in May; and if

you can furnish us with a good speaker or

two for the occasion, you and the speakerswill confer a great favor on us

also the action of our Senator and Represen

talive in the State Legislature, at its late ses-

sion,—upon motion P W MEADORS Esq.,

was called to the chair, and J C Wat-kins

appointed Secretary.

After a short speech Irom Wm. C Gilliss,

Esq., in which he brielly presented the votes

ol Hon. Wm. II. Randall in the Congress of

the United States, and also relerred to the

true and loyal course of our State Senator,

M. J. Cook, and our Representative M. EWhite, the following preamble and resolu-

tions were presented and read :—

Whereas, in all free representative gov-ernments the right ol the constituency to in-

struct the Representative is a well establish-ed principle, securing correct representationto the constituency; and whereas, upon thesame great principle, it may, and often doesbecome the duty of the constituency toapprove, or disapprove, the action of theirrepresentative organ, after action has beentaken, upon the part of tbe Representativewithout instructions Irom the constituency,on questions involving the vital interests ofthe constituency; and whereas, certain publicprints in the Slate, have industriously circu-lated, before tbe public, charges against thecourse pursued, and votes given, by our dis-tinguished (ellow citizen and able Representative in the Congress of the United States,Hon. Wm. II. Randall,—charges wholly un-just, and iu our opinion, distorting and mis<representing the course of action ot ourRepresentative in the present Congress of theUnited States.

—

Be it there/ore resolved, by the people ofWhitley county,—Eighth Congressional Dis-

trict of Kentucky, in mass meeting assembled,—That, having watched, with anxiety

and solicitude, the course pursued, and the

votes given, during the present session of

Congress by Hon. Wm. II. Randall, that

his course as our Representative, and the

votes given by him as such, meet our mosthearty and cordial approval, and are such asshould properly have been taken by a UnionRepresentative of a Union constituency,

piedged to sustain i e Federal Governmentin all appropriate e; >rts far the suppressionof the Southern Rebellion.

Resolved, That, having long known tbedistinguished gentleman, our Representative,Hon. Wm. H. Randall, we repose in him themost abiding confidence, and doubt not that

his wisdom, sagacity, prudence and patriot-

ism, in the distinguished position at presentoccupied by him, will sustain him in win-ning for himself a fame and a respect as astatesman and a patriot, which the punyarm of partizan press dictation cannot suc-

cessfully assail, though hurled upon himwith all the malignity, and assumed im-perial dictation and bitterness, that of late

characterizes the editorials of certain Unionprints in this State.

Resolved, That the course pursued by ourdistinguished Senator, Milton J. Cook, of thecounty of Rockcastle, in tbe Senate of Ken-tucky during the late session of the Ken-tucky Legislature, meets our most hearty andcordial approval. That as a Union Senatorrepresenting a Union constituency, he hassustained the principles of the Union party,with that manly nobleness, fidelity, sagacity,

and unselfish patriotism which entitles himto the gratitude and respect of the Unionloving people of this county, and as we believe of the district generally.

Resolved, That our able and distinguishedRepresentative in the present Legislature,

Mil.uN E. White, has fully, honorably, andably sustained himself as a true Union Rep-resentative, and is entitled to and hereby ten-

dered the thanks and gratitude ol tbe peopie of Whitley—his constituents.

Resolved, That the people of Whitleycounty, now as ever, devoted to the Unionof the States, and that form of Governmentsecured to them by their ancestors patriot-

ism, toils and sacrifices, and regarding the

present rebellion as wicked, and as the foun-

tain of all the ills that beset them and their

common country, pledge themselves anew to

an undivided and unwavering support ofthe Federal Government in all necessary

measures upon its part for the suppression

of tbe rebellion — looking forward withhope, to a happy readjustment of all gov-ernmental disorders, when the great sourceof evil shall be crushed

Resolved, That the foregoing prearableanjresolutions be signed by the chairman andsecretary, and a copy forwarded to theFranklort Commonwealth, and CincinnatiCommercial, requesting tbe respective edi-

tors of those papers to publish tbe same;

and that a manuscript copy of these reso-

lutions be forwarded by the secretary to eachof our Representatives, Hon. W. H. Randall, Milton J. Cook, and Milt. E. White.

Dr.JOUN BULL, of Louisville, Ky. His inim-itable preparation of Sarsaparilla, has long stoodat tbo bead of the various compounds of that val-

less than a year after their introduction attaineda reputation as wide spread as the continent ofNorth America. But tbe crowning glory of his

life remains to be attained in his latest discovery,

or rather combination, for he does not claim to

have been the discoverer of CEDRON, which is

That honor belongs to tbe native inhabitants ofCentral America, to whom its virtues have beeuknown for more than two hundred years. Armedwith it tbe Indian bids defiance to the most dead-ly malaria, and handles, without fear, the mostvenomous serpents. It is a belief with them thatwhile there is breath left in the body, tbe Cedronil potent to ears), no matter what tbe disease mayhe.

While Dr. Bull is not prepared to endorse this

extravagant pretension, be is, nevertheless satis-

fied from a thorough examination of the evidencerelating to its virtues, that as a remedy and preventive for all diseases arising from exposure, ei

ther to changes of weathor and climate, or to themiasmatic influences, it stands without a rival,

and justly deserves the reputation it has so longoujoved in Central America and the We$t Iudies.

Pictorial History of the War for the Union—By Mrs. Ass S. Stephens; in two vol-

umes; Jakes R. H -..•;•:. ,. Cincinnati, Publisher.

This is intended as a complete and relia-

ble history of the war from its commence-

ment to its close : giving a graphic picture

of its encounters, thrilling incidents, fright

ful scenes, hair breadth escapes, individual

daring, desperate charges, personal anec-

dotes, etc., gleaned from eys-witnesses of,

and participants in, the terrible scenes de

«cribed—a truthful, living reflex of all mat-

ters of interest' connected with this, the most

gigantic of human struggles; together with

a complete chronological analysis of the

War; and embellished with over two hun-

dred illustrations.

The first volume has been issued from the

press, and Mr. Joux D. Pollard, is now re

ceivin^ subscriptions at his Literary Depot,

opposite the Commonwealth Office

We have examined the volume carefully,

and perused a considerable powion of it.

It is certainly the best written history of the

struggle for the Union, that has vet comeunder our observation. Its gifted an 1 popu-

lar author, Mrs Stephens, is known as

one of the best female writers of the age;

and her powers of description, and talent in

presenting facts and de'.ails make the work

one of the most thrilling interest.

Wo commend the work to all readers, andwould urge them to call upon Mr. Pollardand subscrioe The work can only be hadby subscription.

Counterfeit Treasury Notes —The coun-

terfeit $100 Treasury notes which are said to

have made their ippenrnnce are detected as

follows: The number of the noie is larger

and less brilliant in color than the genuine.

Tho imprint of the American Bank Note

Company at the top is also larger, thedouble

rule running from it is heavier, and the ter

minal curve twice as large, while there is a

diagonal shading at the point of the imprint

on the rule, which does not appear on the

genuine. On the right end of the back of

the bill the "100" in the ciroles are inverted

thus: "001." In the genuine "100" in the

circles on the left end read thus : "001;" in

the counterfeit they are thus: "100." Theoutside circle of the "100" in the lower left

corner of the genuine touches the lower cor-

ner: in the counterfeit it does not comewithin one sixteenth of an inch The paper

is also heavy and somewhat greasy in the

couwterfeit, and there are other slight differ-

ences This counterfeit is said to have been

extensively circulated in the West

Some weeks since it was charged

that the report or' Gen. McClbllas bad

been mutilated by the War Department,

purposely or by mistake, in the omission of

certain dispatches. Investigation proved thit

charge false But it proved more: that in

making up his report, or history, as the

General calls it, of the Army of the Pole

mac, he himself omitted over one hundred

official despatches, ice These will be pub-

lished by Congress, for the sake of history.

These omitted despatches, npw lying on

Secretarv Stantan's table, make a pile a

loot and a half high.

Cincinnati Gazette and Got. Bramlctte.The Cincinnati Gazette, of April 13, pub-

lishes the speech of Rev. R. J. Bbkckisbidqe,

at Lexington, on the 11th, and in its uotice

of it says

:

"The remarks on the attempt to falsify

the record .of Governor Bramlette's courseon the enrollment of blacks, will be foundpeculiarly interesting. The effort of several

journals to fasten falsehood upon those whoretused to lie concerning this matter, hasrecoiled upon themselves. We presumethere is not a citizen of Kentucky, amongthose who have noticed this controversy,

who does not believe that this was an un-

scrupulous denial of the truth, and an at-

tempt to stigmatize with falsehood thosewho refused to suppress the facts."

The Gazette, taking the same chute with

the rebels, rebel sympathizers and "Conser-

vatives," alias copperheads, conveyed to the

minds of many that Gov. Bramlette had de-

cided and intended to resist the enrollment

and Jraft of negroes in this State, by force.

And when his address to the people was

published, counselling a peaceful compliance

with the law, and telling tbem they had

their remedy in the civil tribunals of the

country, it was asserted by these parties,

—

in order to bolster up their veracity, wo

suppose,—that he had prepared an address

n '1 vising the people to resist the law, and

and pledging the uho't power of the State to

sustain their resistance: but bad backed

down, and wrote another address,—the one

which was published March 16.

Being aware of the fact, that the charge

was wholly untrue— in all its length and

breadth,—we o stated And we uow reiter-

ate that statement.

The Governor never did, as far as we knowor believe,—certain we are, he never hadsuch a document put in type—advise, or

counsel an/ resistance whatever. But, on

the cootrary, he advised them to submit to

the law; and if any cltiiens felt themselves

aggrieved, he pointed out their remedies by

the civil law, and the mode of proceeding to

obtain "just compensation."

Those who assert the reverse of ibis pro-

position, have not a particle of truth to sus

tain them. Dr. Bbeoei.vkidob, in ins speech

at Lexington, admits half of the proposition

when he says :

—

"According to my understanding of theGovernor's proclamation, lis did have the idea

of civil and earnest opposition to the exacution of the draft of negroes."

He does not assert that the Governor in>

tended resistance ; and had he understood

the address as we did then, and do now, he

would promptly admit the whole, as he will

have to do, should he do as he half way

threatens he will, "gel the truth brought

out in a common law Court."

On the 10th April, the 17th Indiana,

mounted, passed through Shelbyville, on the

Ml. Eden road, seeking the guerrillas; but

could noi come across them. Another de

tachment ol the same regiment went to

Nelson county, and at Fairfield came upon

a party of the scoundrels robbing citizens,

and gave chase. They captured six. Lt

Van Pklt caught Iwo more near Bloomfleld.

On the morning of the 14th, a band of

some twenty guerrillas were near Shel

byville again,—the Federal troops having

left the county. It would be well to station

a baltallion at Shelbyville

nessee; and tbe separate organization of

tSy"The Lexington Observer and Reporter,

of April 13, says the remains of Hrmbt Clay,

after an interment of twelve years, were re

moved last week, upon the death of his wife,

and placed side by side with hers beneath a

beautilul monument erected to his memory

in the Lexington, Kentucky, Cemetery. Thewreath of immortellees placed upon his

coffin by his friend, the gifted poetess Mrs.Ann S Stephens, prior to the removal,

1

of

the body from Washington, was found to be

in an almost perfect state of preservation,

being but little faded, whilst a gold ring,

bearing tbe initials "J. W." which rested

near the wreath, was as bright as though

j ust from a jeweler's store.

The Uou>e on the Mexican Empiie-

On the 4th April, Mr. H. W. Davis, from

the Committe on Foreign Affairs, reported

to the National Uouse of Representatives

the following resolution, which was unani-

mously adopted :

—

Reeofved, by the Senate and Bout* of Repre-eentitivee of tht United Statee of America in Con*qreei awnMtd, That the Congress of the UnitedSt ties are unwilling by lilence to leave the na-tions of the world under impression that tbe

War News and Army Items.

From a Cairo dispatch, dated April 13, we

have a report that on that morning the reb

el Gen. Buford, had sent a flag of truce de-

manding the immediate surrender of Fort

Pillow, and slated that it the Fort surren-

dered the negroes would be returned to their

masters, but, if forced to take the place, no

quarters would be shown them. Col. Law-

rence, of tbe 34 ..h New Jersey, commandingthe post, replied that his Government placed

him there to defend the fort, and surrender

was oul of the question. The steamer Olive

Branch reports thai fighting hail beeen going

on at Fori Pillow all day on the 12th, up to

the time she passed there, three o clock

P. M.. when there was a cessation of hostil-

ities. Negotiations were going on, and a

fla" of truce was visible. After passing,

tbe fighting was renewed, and the FeHeral

flag was seen to come down, but it was be-

lieved to have been shot away, as there ap-

peared to be efforts made to raise it again.

Reports fJom Paducah to the 13lh repre-

sents matters more quiet, and the probabili-

ty of an attack greatly lesseued. General

Brayman sent large reinforcements to both

Columbus and Paducah, and no fears are

entertained by the military lor the safely ol

either place Pessengers from below report

that Forrest recenily crossed Coldwater riv

er, near Jackeon, going south, with three

thousaud horses and one thousand nine

huudred wagons. These are doubtless ex-

aggerated.

Two thousand rebels are reported to have

been in Proctor, Owsley county, on the 10th,

having come through a very narrow gapnear one of the forks of the Kentucky river.

The army of the Potomac is evidently

preparing for work. The rebel officers are

reported to have been ordered by Gen. R. E.

Lee to send all their extra baggage back to

Richmond.By an arrival at Cairo Irom New Orleans

on the 5th, we have interesting news from

Texas, and from the Red riverjcounlry. Ourtroops on the Rio Graode had gone from

Brownsville up the river toEa^le Pass, the

point at which the rebels shipped their cot-

ton into Mexico, and received goods in reiurn.

The place was captured, and will he hold.

Immense quantities of cotton are said to

have been taken Corpus Christi has been

Gov. Bramlette— Letter from Col. Fytfe.

Ubbana, O , April 4, 1864

Me. Joshua SaXTon :—Dear Sir .—Muchhas been said in the last lew weeks about

Kentuckv, Governor Bramlette. Col. Wotford, and Kentucky politics Many express

tears as to the future course of Gov. Bramlette, and of Kentucky. If you know Gov.

Bramlette as well as I do, you would have

no tears about him or Kentucky. Gov.

Bramlette was the first man in Kentuckywho made a speech for open war with the

rebels; he never was in favor of neutrality.

He was from tbe beginning in (avorof whip-

ping the rebels, and conquering them with

the musket. He was noneof your milk and

water men ;with bim the man that was not

for us. was again us, and he was fordriving

the traitors from Kentucky. He never

wanted a traitor in our rear, and to showthat he was sincere, he not only spoke to the

people of Kentucky, but he raised a regi

ment and took the field. The first regiment

raised in Kentucky was Col. Bramlette'e.

Afterwards the Governor of Kentucky adop-

ed the two regiments that were raised in

Ohio, and called them the 1st and 2d Ken-

tucky. Colonel James V. 'iuthrio and

Captain Ralph Hunt, formerly of this

town, belonged to the lot Kentucky. Colonel

Bramlette s was, after that, called the third.

There is not a purer man in the United

States, in my opinion, than Governor Bramlette. I never could see the difference of

opinion between President Lincoln andGovernor Bramlette. Colonel Bramlette

was for the Union, with slavery or without

slavery. If slavery was in the way he waslor the Union without it—let it go If wehad carried out his plan, there would not

have been this day an open traitor in Ken-tucky. We served together in the samedivision of the Army of the Cumberland.1 saw and talked with him every day, andknew all about him. If he is not a true

man, and one who loves his country, andhis whole country, there are no true menin the country. Whenever he tails to doii 19 whole duty to Jthe country, then youmay take my head. I am willing to risk

my lite, and put it in his hands.

I was very intimately acquainted with

many Kentucky officers Generals Critten-

den, Wood, Cole. Bramlette, Scotl, McKee,Dunlap, und many others, and tbey were all

in lavor of the Union, with or wuhout sla-

very—the Union, first, last and all the time—and were in favor of driving all traitors

from the Ohio River before us out of ourlines; and it their plans had been carried

Out, we never would b»ve had the raids in

our rear Col. Bramlette said every neigh-

borhood knew who were the traitors, andthe only correct way was to find out the

traitors, and drive them before us out of the

country— for so long as we left a traitor in

our rear, just that long we would have ourcommunication cut off' and the roads torn upbehind us. What he said was true, for since

then the roads have been torn up several

times, and Morgan and Forrest have beenin our rear. Give Gov. Bramlette the authority, and he will put a stop to all inva-

sions of Kentucky, aud we will have no moretrouble with traitors in that State.

I have so much confidence in GovernorBramlette, and so much love for the man.that he ie my favorite candidate for the

Vice Presidency of the Uniied States on the

ticket with Mr. Lincoln, or whoever is the

Union candidate for President. Notwith-standing all (hat has been said about him.there is not a better Union man in the coun-

try, in my opinion, and will do every thing

in his power lo preserve the Union of these

States, as they were handed down to us byour fathers.

I have been, and am now very sick, not

able to be up but a few minutes At a time;

not mentally or physically in a condition to

write, but I could not se« Governor Bramlette's name bandied about without saying to

my neighbors something that I know abouthim; lor, in my opinion,' there is no better

man living. He is one of God's own people,

a strict member of the Baptist Church,and in everv sense of the word a christian.

The Epitaph

The handful here, that once was Mary's earth,

Held, while it breathed, so beautiful a soul.

That, when she died, all rccogniied her birth.

And had their sorrow in serene control.

••Not here! not here !" to every mourner's heart

The wintry wind seemed whispering around her

bier

And when the tomb-door opened, with a start,

W» heard it echoed from within—' ' Not here !

"

Should thou, sad pilgrim, who mayest hither pass,

Note in those flowers a delicater hue,

Should spring come earlier to this hallowi-d Brass,

Or the bee linger later on tho dew.

Know that her spirit to her body lent

Such sweetness, grace, as only goodness can.

That even her dust, and this her monument

.

Have yet a spell to stay one lonely man.

Lonely through life, but looking for the day,

When what is mortal of himself shall sloep.

When human passion shall have passed away.

And lore no longer be a thing to weep

The Philopeua.

"I like you the best, Mr. Abingdon ;but

I think when I grow up I shall marry Cous-

in Hulbert.'' So spoke the enfant terrible of

the household, standing on tip.toe to get at

some nuts left upon the dessert table, with

her five year old eyes. Oh, how sharp they

were fixed upon me, and repeating her

words slowly—"1 like you the best, but

when I'm grown I think ['shall marry Hul-

bert""Why ? Dolly."

"Why ? Oh, he ha* lots ami lots of money,

and you haven' t."

"Whew! How do you know I haven't?"

"Aunt Matilda says so. She told Kate

this very morning in her bedroom, and that

if she married you she' d—she'd—oh. I re-

member—she' d starve in a garret Before

that I meant to marry you when 1 growed

up."

A revelation. It was true— 1 was sure of

that What Dolly heard she repeated verba-

tim, and generally at the most inappropriate

times. A week before she had revealed to

Mrs. Dix—the fashionable Mrs. Dix—that

Aunt Matilda was frying flapjacks in the

kitchen. She had uttered all those frightful

remarks common to the enfant terrible as to

"Aunt's false teeth" and "Uncle's wig."

She heard much, listening like a young owl,

and repeating it days after with a sudden-

ness that foiled interruption to the very par-

ty to whom of all others she should not have

revealed it.

So Mrs. Criiion thought Katy would slarve

in a garret if she marries me. Pleasant.

And she proposed Cousin Hulburt as a sub.

stitute Pleasanter still—delightful alto-

gether. Oh, if I could but know what Katysaid ! I would too.

"Come here, Dolly, I said coaxingly.

"Yes, when I get my almonds."

She filled her pockets—there, were three

in her ruffled apron—and came treading

Jainlly, in her black slippered feet, over the

crimson carpet. I took her upon my knee

and talked to her as she munched"What did Katy say, Dolly?''

'[ don't want to tell vou."

"Why?""You' 11 be mad."

"No.""Yes. Please craek this almond with your

teeth, Mr. Abingdon.1 '

1 performed the operation— not, however,

with mv teeth—and the little fingers fished

out the nut.

"Now, tell me, Dolly"

"Well, Katy 9aid she hated yon both, andshe wished you would go away."

'T m obliged to her"

"Are you mad J"

"I hope not. 1 think I m sane now, Dul-

ly." i

"I don t mean uia.l like a dog Are you

angry ?"

"Of course not. Do I look so?"

"You never do; you are pretty I should

like to be your wile when I' m growed up;

ODly Aunt Milly «ays it would be awful.

You are so nice. Oh, oh ! philopena Eat it

with me. Mr Abingdon."

I took half of the double nut

"Wait," cried Dolly. "Will it be the

same if we save (he halves ? How old are

you 7"

"Twenty'Oh! and 1 m live, most six. In ten

years V II be—ten and six— yes. 1' II be ail-

teen, and vou—

"

"Thirty.1 '

"Oh, what an old man ' But 1 won' t say

philopena lor ten years, because I won t

have any money till I m big, and if youcatch me first I shall make you a splendid

present. Then I'll marry Coiirin Hulbertand be rich."

"Mercenary little wretch —an embryo wo-mao I"

"Eh ?"/

'Nothing."

"Ob, but 1 thought you were mad at me.What awful long words. Put the philopenain you pocket."

i did so, put Dolly down, and stalked outof the dinning room of Hickory House. I

had beeu there a week, invited by good oldMr. Guion to spend an indefinite time Forfive good months 1 had worshipped KittvOnion, and she—well, meu are vain at twen-

ty, and I fancied she loved me, and that Mrs.Guion lavored me The only drop of balmin the conversation above recorded was thatKitty hated Cousin Hulbert, also. Still, as

I cooled myself down under the hickorytrees which gave to the homestead a name,1 reflected.

Perhaps Kitty only spoke as a girl will

speak when teased about her admirers. Perhaps, after all, she liked me. I would lest

the truth that afternoon, and if she said

"yes," the gates of Paradise would open, andif she said "no" Dear reader, I'mashamed to own that in thai event I deliber-

ated between hanging myself to the longestbranch ot the stout tree against which I

leaned, or drowning myself in the pood at' my feet. Suicide presented itself us a natup

al and commendable way of arranging mat-ters at such a crisis. Perhaps a recent per-usal of the "Sorrows of Werter" had some-thing to do with it.

So that afternoon I asked Kilty (iuion towalk with me, and she went. A tall, slen-der, very pretty girl of nineteen, with hazeleyes, and golden hair all rings and ripples.She wore a white dress that day, and abroad straw hat with ribbons of ceruleanblue, and roses in her bosom. And she walk-ed placidly beside me, pratling of a dozenthings, until we came to a spot in the woodswhere there were wild flowers and a spring,and white pebbles over which the. water drip-ped, and a stone slab for a seat. On thisrustic bench she reclined, and 1 kuelt at herfeet, and words I could not have remember-ed an hour after, to save my life, pouredtrom my lips, and in them I told KittyGuion how I loved her, and asked her wheth-er she loved me.She didn't.

That I learnt, somehow, before she spoke,and I suppose 1 acted as an older man

would not, when 1 covered my face with

both arms, and buried it in the grass and

sobbed. Oh, the passionate, fleeting, glow-

ing first love of a boy ! how sweet it is while

it lasts.

Kitty was a year younger than 1, yet howmuch more womanly ! In a minute her handrested on my hair, and she said : "Listen to

me, Mr. Abingdon, and don't think hard of

me. You seemed so young, so boyish I

never thought of this. I can trust you with

a secret I know, I have been raaried months—nearly a year—to a gentleman much older

than you—past thirty—who will claim mevery soon. Mamma and papa objected to

him because he was poor, and so It

was wrong, perhaps, but I am his wile, and

there is my wedding ring," and she showed

me a circlet of plain gold which glittered on

her finger.

"On the wrong hand," she laughed, "but

I wear it. So you will not be angry,'' she

said "but be my friend always, for I fell al-

most as though you were a young brother of

mine. And now good-bye. I am going in

1 was very wretched just then, and fancied

that Werter's sorrows were nothing to myown, but I did not kill myself, although I

went away from Hickory Hill that very

night, to the great surprise of old Mr. (iuion,

who wondered at my forsaking the country

"when the shooting was so good." Ah, I

could have told him that the game I sought

had escaped me.

Adieus were spoken in the wide hall; in-

vitations to come again, "a pleasant journey,"

good wishes of all kinds, and I. with myportmanteau, left the gate, but as it swungtoo. elfin hands caught it and tiny Dolly slip-

ped out into the road.

"Mr. Abingdon, take care of the philope-

na, and do just what 1 said Good-bye

Kiss me.

'

I pressed my lips to hers and her little

cheek was hot and wet, and her little armsclasped my neck, and down into my heart

sank a sort ol indescribable thrill, and,

strange to say. on my road city ward in the

groaning, shrieking train, 1 thought moreof six-year-old Dolly than of her Cousin

Kate.

O, fickle boyhood ! in a month I had an-

other divinity— in a twelve month another.

I began to flirt; 1 was admired. To mystudio, where I painted portraits with hard

eves like jet, or sapphire and rosy cheeks

of deepest vermillion, and made such ideal-

ized imitations ol" human nature as would

have charmed a worshipper of wax dolls

after the fashion of enthusiastic beginners—

to this studio came dames and damsels, andI painted them to their and my own satis-

faction. After a while I began to have

dreams of historical pictures, and painted

one. with Queen Elizabeth in it, on a ruff

of adamant My best recollection of the

production at this day is that her majesty

looked liked an ancient and vindictive ghost

in white tin (supposed to be satin) and that

the background was by far the most prom-

inent and brilliant part of the production.

My friend Jenks. an art critic, came to see

it and adored it.

"Charming! charming!" he said; "but

your style wants mellowing. Go to Italy

—

go to Italy, my boy. and your country will

be proud of you."

Mv style did want something. 1 ownedthat with a pang as 1 gazed on the "grimly

ghost" ot good Qeen Bess in her metallic

raiment. And it might be mellowing— per-

haps it was. Il Italy would mellow me I

would go to Italy.

I sold Queen Bess. A romantic widowladv, who thought that the prominent mas-

culine figure resembled myself and lold meso. purchased it. And my preparations

were made; and when the Martha Jane,

Captain Bobkins, sailed, I was on board, on

my wav to Italy to have my style mellowed,

(I didn't quite understand what Jenksment by the term yet,) leaving A and Band C, my artist friends, behind me on the

shore, very mellow already with parting

glasses and waving their handkerchiefs

cheerily.

Does it do auy one good to go to Italy I

d m not sure. There were hundreds of art'

ists there makiug bail copies of good pic-

tures, and copying peasant girls with rich

complexions and short petticoats, and beg-

gar lads at church porches, and old womenat wells, who were not mellowed yet, it, by

mellowing, Jenks meant perfection. But I

slaved there and painted, and time, not

and gave some tender half lints instead of

those glaring whites and wrmillions ; andnine years from the Jay on which I left

tocratic, holding himself alool from meauermen, and charging wonderous prices for

productions no one would have purchasedhad they emanated from the pencil of un-

known John Smith. It was summer, too,

and the city well nigh deserted ; so I re-

solved to leave bricks and mortar, and goupon a sketching tour. A snug farm house,

delightfully clean to Italianized eyes used to

picturesque ruine, dirt and fleas, received

me, and its mistress, a good old lady, took

a mighty interest in what she called "pic-

lures.'

"If you wani to draw a pretty picture,

she said, "there's a lovely place—HickoryHouse—just across the bill. Miss Mills,

the minister's daughter, made a picture of

that once.

Miss Dorothea! '

1 remembered no such

person, but 1 thought thai 1 should like to

see Kate once more, for old times' sake,

and as the sun went down 1 lound myself

at the gate—a new one—which opeued iuto

the garden

.

A stout lady, somewhere about thirty

stood on the porch, chatting with a grave

but pleasant-looking man. She lilted her

matronly head, the rippling hair knotted at

the back, and looked at me politely and in

quiringly.

Could it be Kitty ?

"Do I address Mrs. Wilson '("I asked.

''Yes," replied the lady, "that is myname; and, dear me ! it isn't possible that

you are Mr. Abingdon. How glad I am to

see you. This is Mr. Wilson. Come in

You arc a stranger."

I was. I did not know her and'never did

After awhile 1 became acquainted witl

plump, good natured Mrs. Wilson, butKitty Guion never returned again.

"And do you remember Dolly ?" cried

Mrs. Wilson. "She remembers you, I

know "Tom," to a boy by her side, "call

your Dorothea—Dolly is sixteen now, Mr.Abingdon.A voice in the passage—a foot on the

threshold—a startled glance—a cry of al

moat childish joy, aud Dolly, with bothhands extended, came toward me. Little

Dolly still, though grown a woman, the

same, only more beautiful and more win-ning. And she knew me at once. Thereis such a delicate flattery in being knownon the instant after many years. Who canresist it ?

Again and again, as the summer wanedand the hickory leaves grew red in autumnsunlight, I passed the gate and entered at

the door. Often I sat with Dolly on theporch, often wandered with her in the gar-den; at last I came with a fixed purpose in

my heart—that of wooing and winning Dol-ly—the enfant terrible of those old times.

Yet perhaps the child, who had so pon-dered on the probable estate of my wife,

might like her cousin Hulbert better for ahusband yet, for I was not rich, and couldgive little but my love.

And so I went a little doubtingly to thehouse one day, when I knew that she wasall alone, and fotiDd her in the window ofthe old dining room, knitting with beadsand scarlet silk. I came behind her andlaid something on her knee—a withered nut—the old long cherished gift of Baby Dolly.

"Philopena?" [said—"Philopena! Doyou remember it

!"

She blushed rosy red.

"Have you kept it all this while!" shecried ; "I thought 1 was the only silly one,"and out of her little needle case she drewthe twin to my withered almond.

"I have caught you, '

1 said "and youare bound to give me a present."

"1 will knit you this watch pocket," shesaid. "It was for my brother-in-law, but

you shall have it for your philopena.

"

"No," 1 said—"no, Dolly, I want some-thing more precious than that You prom-ised me a grand present."

"So I did," and she laughed again ; "butyou see I have nothing very precious, so it

must be this or a cigar case."

"Dolly, you have one very precious thing,

"

1 said—"so precious that I hardly dare ask

you for it; a precious little heart—a very

pearl. Will you give me that, Dolly ? Will

you give me yourself for a philopena T'

She did not say "no," she did not say

"yes"—she never spoke—but her eyes did,

and I caught her to my heart ; and I knewthen, as 1 have known ever since, that a

gift rarer than rubies or diamonds had been

given me when 1 won my philopena
