MR- STEVENS' OPINIONS.
A correspondent of the Nevr York Herald
Question You think, then, that a resolution
of impeachment could not now be carried f
Mr Steven9 I think not. It would be de
feated on account of jealousy on the part of the
opponents of Senator Wade. The contest be
tween Wade and Fessenden for the Presidency
of the Senate was a very bitter one, and personal
feelings and motives will interfere to" prevent
Wade from 4 occupying the Presidential chair,
even for a single day. After Wade's election,
Blame, of Maine, said on the floor of the House,
(this Congress will never vote for impeachment.
We don't want any of I5en. Wade's 'Shelly
waggers around the White House." It is this
sentiment that will defeat impeachment. Every
little tricky politician who waots this man for a
postmaster or that man for a constable, and does
not think Ben. Wade will
wants, will oppose it.
nitfo him xbnt li a
Question- What do you think, sir, of the
condition of the republican party in New York
State ? '"',-.- -. A : ;' -
Mr Stevens I think you will be killed by
conservatism in New York. Your republicans
are what the Indians would "call "mighty un
certain." They have ro boldness or settled
principle. Your last year's platform Was one of
the most absurd and cowardly that could be
adopted in a country ' running rapidly to radi
calism. Greeley has generally spit upon sueh
reforms; but ! suppose he will be for a still
more diluted one next year. Your representa
tives are not reliable. I look upon Lafilin as an
entirely demoralized man. Most of the others
are no better than hf;. Conkling has hitherto
been true, and I bopo he will continue so in his
new position. 1 believe New York will be lost
this year by want of earnestness in the cause,
acd by the dishwater which has been thrown
around by Greeley and Gerrit Smith.
Question Is the republican party well united
in Pennsylvania ? .
Mr Stevens I fear that we shall lose Penn
sylvania this next election. I do not think we
have earnestness enough in the State to unite
and draw out the Republican strength, while
the Republican portion of our Legislature has
been so openly, notoriously and shamefully cor
rupt, that all the honest people in the State are
disheartened and disgusted. .
Question- Yrou do not suppose that you can
beat New York in corruption, do you ?
Mr Stevens I think we could. Cameron
had his men with their handfulls of greenbacks,
working in the Legislature. He had not four
teen votes in his favor at the close of the elec
tion, but soon after he had forty. One man
claims 850,000 for services, and they refuse to
pay hiui. This corruption will certainly beat us
here next election, unless we draw out the Re
publican strength by getting up a furor and ex
citement on impeachment. Geary, too, hurts
us very much. lie is an unhappy failure, and
his nomination was an unfortunate thing for the
party.
In answer to questions lie stated that Ray
moud had been the worst failure be had seen in
Congress. He had a pretty style of talking and
a certain sort of smartness in debate, but it was
of the School boy, eopboworical style, and could
not stand an instant under the test of earnest
principle. In the midst of his most elaborate,
studied and highly perfumed harangues, a few
words of sound common sense. would knock him
flat upon his back and leave him. helpless. He
made a poor show in CoDgresa among solid,
earnest men. ,
Ren. Rutler, according to old Thad. is a
thorough failure as a Congressman. .. "At first,"
said 31 r Stevens, "I had looked upon him as a
man with whom it would be dangerous to mea
sure swords in a debate. . Rut I soon found that
he had obtained a reputation under, false pre
tences. Tie is at once superficial,, weak and
impracticable."' . ' . ' . .
" Upon the subject of the next Presidency Old
Thad. is not disposed to be communicative. He
regards Gen Grant as a great .soldier, who has
the best position any man can ever occupy in.
the United States, and does not believe he would
be foolish enough to Took for any othcr. lie
thinks a success as a General may be a failure
as a President. Chase he regards as a negative
man, by no means popular or powerful. , Rutler
is a humbug. Old Ren. Wade has played him
self out. In fact, it is very probable that Old
Thad believes in the inmost recesses of his heart
that if, in the course of human events,' the
country should look to" Lancaster for its next
President, and should find him in a two and a
half story red brick 'bouse on South Queen
reet," the country would do by oo means a fool
ish thing, and woild be very likely to find
"RarkiS willing.,

Am I your, only and first love?" asked a
bright yed girl as she reclined her classically

"No, Leila; you are not my only, nor. ray first.
Long years before I saw you I loved another
and I love thaf other still." . - .

raising her dark blue eyes and gazing steadfastly
mrp tnose ot her lover, halt in astonishment,
half in sorrow, while her, jewelled .fingers tight
ened convulsively upon his arm.
"You asked me, Leila, and I answered with
truth and sincerity; you wouid not have me de
ceire you, would you ?"
"You love her still, then V
"I love her still." - - :
"And better than you do me ?"
"Net better, but as well."
"And will love her still?" ,
"Until death, and even beyond death. ' Over
her last, last resting place will I strew 'spring's
earliest turners, and bedew the sacred spot with
the purest tears that love ever shed."
"Handsomer than I, is she not ?"
"Her eyes are as black as night, and her hair
in glossy blackness outvies the wings of , the
raven. She hasn't your sweet . blue eyes and
your soft brown hair. Oh ! Lelia, her eyes
have beei the sweetest eyes to me, that ever
looked thi eternal look of love." ' ,.
"Paul, vhy do you wish to break my heart ?"
Why have yon taught me to love you so wildly
and blindlj, and then in the midst of my hap
piness, tell me that there is an .impassible bar
rier between us ? This night, Paul we must
pait forever; I would not have believed this bad
another told me !" and her eyes grew dim with
tears.
"Re not to rashj Lelia ; hear me to the end;
you love me too dearly to part with thus !
Think you that you could not sharemy heart
with one that I so dearly love.'
. "Never, Paul, never !"
"You shall, Leiia, and must ! Listen for a
moment, whilel tell you of my first love and I
am sure you will be willing to share with her
then."
"I will listen, Paul, but will not share your
love; I must lave all or none; lam selfish in
that respect, and who, that loves as I do, is not?
Forget me, Paul, or forget her forever !" ,
"Forget her, Lelia ? Never! I would not
lose one jot of her pure affections for the fairest
face that ever bloomed. No not for the girdle
of Venus or the love of a second Helen !"
"Then, Pan!, you are lost to me forever, we
must part. Farewell to our every dream of a
brighter future. I love you too well, and am
too proud to share your love with aught created.
"Stop, Lelia, or you will deeply wrong me
also. I met this loved one, as I have said be
fore, long years ago in one of the sweetest and
sunniest vales of cur broad Illinois ;. wandered
with her hand in hand, for years, beside the
sparkling waters of our childhood's home. First
by her smite of exquisite sweetness she taught
my heart that she loved me with unutterable
fondness ; and. never, have I doubted; my trust
io her has ever been steadfast and-true; never
have her eyes looked coldly upon me, and never
will they till the death angel shall dim them for
the long sleep. Off in the still hours of night
have I been awakened, as if by the gentle fan
ning of the sleep-god's wing, and beheld that
face, those eyes -gazing 'upon me with all the
beautiful tenderness of a guarding angel over a
repentant prodigal; and a kiss would fall upon
my brow more soothing than the dews of Iler-
mon. The same gentle hand has led me alongd
lite s flowery way and beside its unruffled water,
and if ever my arm raised to do a deed of wrong,
or my heart steeled to- conceive if," that gentle
admonitory voice came whispering in my ear,;
and stayed the one midway and drew the iron
from the other. And I do well remember, in
my manhood's riper years, when deep sorrow
fell upon my soul and I would, fain have drank
oblivion- from the wine cup's fiery brim, that
some dark-eyed woman came, and bade me, in
the name of God, to shun the fatal snare; and
twining her arms . around ray neck, while her
eyes beamed with glove's deep inspiration, she
poured oil upon the troubled waters, told mekif
purer hopes , and, higher aims, and in my ear
whispered a golden word that has out-lived al!
sorrow." . . -, - -. .
"Lelia, would you krrbw tho name of my first
love ?" 'Tis my mother." . .
"O ! Paul, I'll forgive you, and share your
love; indeed I will." ... .. , :
"I knew you would, Lelia. Second love is as
dear a3 the first." '

WHAT WE NEED. -
' t. . A - ... ...
There are large numbers of persons, at the
South, - who, when our producing power "was
very great, anu as a consequence our commer
cial and mercantile interests were, flourishing
were bred to pursuits which at this juncture of
affairs are decidedly unprofitable: who were
educated to the desk, taoght to stand behind
the counter, and glibly talk 'airy nothings" as
they fold muslir.s, calicoes, Ac; schooled for the
bar, or graduated for the practice of medicine
All of these classes - of men must, "of necessity,
suffer very much from the altered condition of
things which now exists.1 The agricultural in
terests of the South, upon which all of its pros
perity was dependent, are languishing;., and; as
a consequence, the trade of the merchant is
limited, and the activity io business which once
afforded employment to all these classes is far
from being so great as it formerly gave promise
of being. ' No one can help seeing that the
South needs more work in her corn and cotton
fields, more manual labor, and less in the towns
and cities; less purely intellectual effort. It so
happens, however, that while many perceive
that they ought to change their location and
seek"" the favors of fortune in a new field, they
are so tied down and involved that they cannot
make the movement which they would prefer;
but still there are many who are foot-loose and
need nothing but the inclination to make room
for others and better themselves. - They need to
learn that it is a false pride which ' keeps them
away from the plow bandies, they need to know
that labor is honourable, and that agricultural
pursuits is quite , as respectable as any other,
and certainly more honorable. . If about one
half of the populations of our towns would go
on farmland work, our greatest Beed would be
met. "' .
-
A; WAR INCIDENT. ' .
"A Staff Officer," in the Masonic columns of
the New Yrork Dispatch, furnishes the following:
"I give the following incident falling under my
own observation, as an instance where the Masonic
tie of brotherhood proved stronger than the fear
of death, and; more lasting than the hatred of
mortal foes. At the second battle of Cold Har
bor the repulse of the Federals left the ground in
front of the Confederate works strewn with their
dead and wo l nded these, lying more than a
day under the hot July -'sun, dying with' thirst,
begged piteously for help, but 'in vain, as the
Federal'lines were so close that none could leave
the protection of the breast work without being
made a target for their bullets. Some dragged
themselves to the ditch and were hoisted over by
means of waist belts buckled together and let
down to them.
MAt this lime, when to cross the woiks seemed
certain death, two men came to head quarters
and asked permission to bring' in a wounded
rederal lying in their front. Ihey were referred :
to the order prohibiting such reckless exposure,

they felt bound to attempt to relieve him at any

VEBY PECuiilAR CASE OF HY
DROPHOBIA. Sixteen years ago last Wednesday, James Bay;
then a resident of Pontiac, was bitten by a rabid
dog, but experienced no serious effects' from the
bite until one year from the day on winch be was
bitten. .Ue then felt some symptoms of the ter
rible disease, waicb soon developed into a most
frightful attack. For six' weeks lie was- a raving
maniac, and all hope of his recovery was aban
doned; but an iron constitution and skilful: nurs
ing brought him out from the shadow of death,
and he rallied, the disease finally passing off.-
He pursued the even tenor of his way until the
second anniversary, wHen he was again attacked,
but with less severity, than on the first occasion.
The 26th day of June in each succeeding year
has been the occasion of a hydrophobic fit, the
last of which attacked him. one week ago yester
day, at Sandwich, where he was employed as
brickmaker. The . usual symptoms were felt
during the early part of the day, and Bay reques
ted some of his friends to tie bun in order to
prevent personal injury. ,Be,ing frightened by
his personal appearance they, refused . to do so,
and be continued at bis work all day, and until
midnight, his usual time for quitting,,.
Going to. a neighboring barn, be, tried to sleep
off tho dreaded attack. After awhile .his com
panions beard a noise in the barn, and, fearing
that it was as. Bay bail declared, went to hi aid.
An appalling sight greeted them. The poor
victim was foaming at the mouth biting- at va

WHY: YOUNG MEN DO NOT MARRY J
Rev. Robert Coliyer, the eloquent Unitarian '
clergyman, recently preached a sermon itt Ch!-
ago oo "Oar Daily -Uready id the ;couirf ofj
which, he discussed social questions, and x'-'
plained why young men do not marry i '- ;1 n '::
"When one said lately. irfhe .prascirieeubC a ,
frank, outspoken yonng woman ia this city,' that,
the reason why young men did not marry was ;
that. their wives would not be content to begia '"
to live in a homely fashion; after they had been"
raised in' luxury,' she replied,' "the woman la
quite as willing as the man to do that,' and. I4,
know of no woman in the circle of my acqaaio- ',
tance who would not be content, for the sake of
the man she loved, to cast her lot with him tad -make
his interest Jn every way her owo.M;;I
believe the young woman spoke the truth. '
When I hear a man living in chambers and
constant in his attendance at play and opera say
"I dare not marry, because I know no womaa T
would be content to live as one should have to
live," I say to myself, it may be true, but looks !
very mnch like old Adam who ate the apple
and then turned around and laid the ' blame oa. ,
the woman. Let this be as it will, 'here is the "
dismal fact staring us everywhere in the face, .
and in no place more painfully than in our 6wa ' j
city, that for social, conventional, or etill worsa (
reasons, -the best youth of the country is held
back from its most sacred duty - as well as its
most perfect feHcity falls into that- sad mis-
take of a long engagement, in which the pain k
and disappointment bears hardest always on the
woman:
or the young man shats his eyes and
his heart when the spirit walking 'among the
golden lamps whispers tohim of some maiden, ;
'That is thy wife," and says, "No, not yetfor r:
many a year to come" and - so marries at last
away on in life, when both lives have become
set in their own fashion, and their love is hard
ly enough to give them the kindly mutual for-,
bearance toward what is dissimilar in character
and disposition, until they can become y
'4,belf-rerereni acd reverencing each. - wc r . .

and . so the best of the days of the best of our
youth go by and find (I dare not" attempt : : .
