A divnde hence liny, two, it do ti not matter Hero is tho .ell-saiiie stage, the same old play; New nctors counterfeit the hollow clatter Worn out long pinee by actors passed away. Hero vice looks mockingly on virtue slain; There youth and beauty plight their trolh together; Heir Morrow hits, and tbero broods ctuul pnin ; There, shadow chills tlin IrieHilnliip ot fail weather. Sincerity still sows the needs ol hate; Candor and tiulh go cautiously iu mask; Honesty plods; corruption li les in state; Labor still benil.J, com laining to histnsk: " Stay!" you exclaim in accents discontented, " Is not your catalogue couiplcto at last 7 I his tiituro, so minutely represented, Is but the present, tempered with the past!"

HER SECRET. " I cerl.iinly do owe you cverytliine. It's a profanation to mention money in connection with tlitit sort of indebted ness; hut, Lavinia, I shall try to dis charge part of it in another way." Miss Vin smiled and blushed, pluck ing at one of the roses climhinc; all about lliu window, with lowered head and very great embarrassment. Sidney, however, saw nothing; of this: his thoughts wire projected into th future; and, nithough his gaze rested dreamily on the lliingfi about him, his fancy had taken a wild flight, aud wr.. busy with very diuVrcnl objects. Ami there was a silence, Luvinia frightened. Just then Can !' appeared, with hci draw lint on and the strawberry-basket in her hand, looking a grout deal like u figure out of a picture. "I want jou, Sidney." And, with his honest smile, fiwuy went Sidney to stain his hands with picking berries. Iivinia looked after them with :i fided slanee jut the shadow of some thing not vexation, but a gleam of srnl ness and disappointment; ami she went in and was rather quiet for a few min utes, hustling nbout the room, and finally over to the glass, where she took a stolen peep at her own comely fea tures. She saw a woman of thirty, etiil pretty, and even handsome. Well, there was certainly no disparity ofnges, lor he was quite thirty also some months more. "That is what he means, I think,'' said Lavinia, after deep cogitation. " lie does owe me everything, just as In says, nnd I I helieve lie likos me. We grew up together, and it is only natural. I shall certainly not do anything rash I mean, refuse him. I like him, too" her voice faltered " I never knew until now how much." t)id Dorcas camp in with a needle to thread, and Lavinia drew herself up a little liaughtiiy at being caugnt before tin; mirror. "Strawberries for dessert, Dorcas. Carrie will pick them." " I sec the doctor and her gat herin" Yin, miss," returned the ancient hand maid. "I think I never see him look ingjso well, miss, as this time. Air; it's not so far oil", I can tell you," said Dor cas, wi.h a nod and smile. ' What's not far off?" "Tho question heisroinfi; to nsk you, Miss Vin. You know very well; and, if you intend to mat.' him happy, it takes only the one word." ".Nonsense! I don't even know what you mean," said Lavinia, with a laugh ol trepidation and coloring brilliantly, ab sorbed in the threading process. " The difference of age, and everything." "The age is just right, and he is in earnest. I found this on his desk." Dorcns produced a sheet of paper on which was traced many times, in very beautiful penmanship, surrounded by acrolU and other marvelous embel lishments, the name "Mrs. S'dney Linden." Lavinia inspected it eagerly, and then returned it with a reproving frown. " You had no business to poke aaion;: Doctor Linden's papers, Dorcas. L was wrong, and ho would be very msiry." So the oil) servant was dismissed, and wei.t out smiling, and Miss Vin was alone agaiu. Well, here was confirmation strong a proofs of Holy Writ documentary evi dence which even the law admits as in disputable; and Ijivinia Hrandon, like Lhe practical woman Mie was, accepted l he fai-fH and w id on with lir plans. As Sidney's wife he could hi- nf mi. use to hint 1 1,'in i ,i T -and that w as s.iy n if iiilleh. Oid loc!or -leliiek had liinv i been wUing to iJJ. ',Vi "'I'-nee, ono, ran her happy thoughts : " We can stay just where we are. This old house is ndcared to us both, nnd the village mid the people. Oh, Sidney, you don't know how much I have always loved you, and I never dreamed until now that you ared for me other than a cousin ! I low my heart bents! I never expeefrd to be o happy! Hut thank God, whoishn pood to us all!'' nnd she wept a little tush of grateful tears. On she went with her enstle-bnildin? Wonderful things were to be done, everybody should share sonn thing of Iter happiness. Her sister Carrie, in a year or so she was only seventeen nsyct. and tooyoumr should go to New Y.;ik and make a fortunate marriage; it would, of course, as Carrie was so pretty, be only a ques tion with hersrif as to whi h million aire nnd paragon she should choose; they would ali be nl her disposil; pit haps she would fancy some duke's son from abroad inarriageg of this son were growing very i-uiianon. And so on buildcd Laviuia her beauti ful architecture until, with a thrill, she heard Sidney and Carrie disputing about the strawberries in the garden outside She went out to them, nnd Cnrrie. sunburnt and vexed, and with hands like Macbeth', ran away with tho ber ries to old Dorcas. " She is such a romp, Sidney. I won iler you do not get out of patience with lici-:" " No, my stock of that article is tin limited. A wonderful day this cleai is crystal. Tho country in summer i: Is the nearest idea my not very vivid imagination can realize of heaven. 1 think, dear Vinnie," he said, laughing. " that it is just the sort of day on which to say something lliat has been in my thouehts for a long time." " What can it be, Sidney f" You could never guess. It is somc :hing very serious and prosaic." "Perhaps you had better post pom it." " No, I might never have the courage again. Do you not feel an intuition of what is coining? I owe everything to you, dearest Vin; your money paid for my education for the very bread I have eaten. I am in the attitude of one who still asks favors; this the last. I hope, but the greatest of all. Vinnie, I am in love, and one word from you seals my happiness or misery." She was silent, looking down on the grass; but after n minuleshe spoke. "Sidney, I must say frankly that 1 did not expect it. As to your i-biiga-tion they c.rc now not bin u; but once I did think them a tie that should always bind us together friendship and gra'.i tiuh you understand? Hut if it has. as you think, grown into another feeling, those obligations are discharged ; if. in fact, you love nie, Sidney, and wish to tiaku me your wile, it is 1 who inn in lebted nnd grateful to you, for 1 tell you frankly that it was until this moment, id ream I did not dare allow myself to think of. Hut, since you w ish it, I will be your wife, Sidney, :'id live hence forth with but the cue thought of mak ing myself worthy of you." lied and pale by turns tremulous, puzzled and bewildered at first stood Sidney Linden. Was there ever before so incredible a .nistake? He knew uot what to say or lo. He had intended, to ask Lavinia's approval of a contemplated proposal to Carrie and what tin appalling situa tion had arisen! lie was, indeed, bound by honor and gratitude to Lavinia, who had been so unnl to him, and he had it tided til ways in some dim fashion to return .ometliing he did not know exactly .v hat; but paying the debt in Ibis way had .never entered his thoughts. He ovrd Carrie a hidden romanec of two -ears hack; a real love a part of his ife, indeed. Hut here Middtnly was -atastrophc; he was ruined. " Lavinia, 1 of course I" h" stain neroil "that was what I liiennt-tc isk you to be my wife. I never had nny ither ;dea than to -to discharge my ob igation in the one way by asking you o to accept me as your husband ;" and ie htintr his head in shame. Luvinia did not notice it, or, if t-he lid, put her own interpretation on his vnfusion. She was quite too happy to ealize details of .vhal was 'Happening: uennry brings those back afterward. nd, speaking very little more, tin y Mossed the lawn to the hi use, nnd sh went in. She went up to her room and knelt at ii r bedside and oth red up a thar.klui irayer. Think of the ccstnsy of win ling something beyond your maddest lopes! And in shuffled old Dorrasto isk something about dinner, smiling broadly nnd rather idiotically, as usual. "Well, Dorcas," said Lavinia, get .ingupand going to her and putting irrhauds tenderly on the old cervant' dioulder, smiling radiantly, you were right and it is to he." "I knowed it didn't I?" said hones' Dorcas, with a broader grin. " He oft r lilked to nie, as young nu n in low will, with anybody, about the one they love; they'll even sit and hear hit ibusert rather than not talk of her at ll,"went on wise Dorcas, who coul see through a millstone n.s well 'iibers. lavinia uttered a pleased laugh ai.-l kissed the old creature. "He does love her sure, and I" ays to me this very morning. ' I can', wuitaday longer, and I am going to isk Iavinia for In r to-day,' and you see lie has done it and got your consent." It w;is nit a cry, it wni a kind ot boke. us of some one dying Middi lily o! nihil at ion. Odl r. i- stand uul :.-t her mitiv s I a- fallen to the floor. Hut ill one minute she w is on her feet igatn, nnd, tnougli pale, strong ami Heady. "The idea of losing her Dercas it is I'arrie, we mean, of course it over nines me a little," said Miss Vin ; and Dorcas had never seen such a counte nance out of a eollin. " liut we must try M bear those things; hi; wiil make hi I x good husband. I think I wiil lie down lor a moment." So Dorcas, none the wiser, t hninbli d .ml, and Lavinia crossi d over to the window and stood looking out. I do not know what she saw there; but thus moments had their tragedy which words .an give no idea of. And after a while she went down and found Sidney si ated on the little porch list where she had left him. Ii looked up dismally enough. "Sidney," she s.id, upruptly, "I lon't know what you wili think of nie; hut I have chanm! my min i imv I saw you a few minutes ago. I cannot be your wife; but I may te'l you this, that if you should ew r fat ey Carrie you might learn to like her in time-it would make nie very h:i); v." "Hut you, Laviuia "ho hic-ait, as tounded. "Will. 1 r..riv V:.s liilijt'd to jjw you my hand, Sidney," shesmiled, ' bill it wxs only the erazo of nn instant Such a thing would never do, and yoi; wil. say so yourself o!:ie years from now; and while f tun gia'eful to you Sidney, for thinking so much . f me as to wish to make me your w I mu.-l lell you frankly that it is impossible. I was born for an old maid nnd must dii :ne. And now, if yon are a wise man. you wiil turn your thoughts from nn find beslow them upon Carrie." Anil with a little lau."h, in which there wa nothing of her heartbreak, she turned and re-entered the house. And to the hour of her death no one i ver knew her secret. Titiiiiminy Hall. The In.lt run! i'.iiiiil A'i iv' w contains tin following nccount ol the weli-knowt. New York political organization known as Tammany Hull: The Tammany Hall organization consists of three part- first, the secret society known as tin "Tammany Society, or Columbian Order," which was tounded in 1'.). in the first month of Washington's admin istration, nnd was ineorporated in Ini.'i; which erected the building on the cor ner of Nassau and Frankfort stiveK formerly knovvn as Tammany Hall, iind controls by lease the present hall or, Fourteenth street ; secondly, the Gen eral Cnuimittie and (Assemb'y) Dis trict Committees of the Tammany Hal. Democracy, which are councils oi voters, and date, with many intermedi ate chantrcs of delail. from 1"-0J; thirdly, the voters, usually about nn.ooii. or two thirds of the etilire vote of the city, who act in harmony wiih the emu mittees. md constitute the Tammany Hall Democracy. The Tammany society has passed, during its ninety years, through live important epochs of evolution, and i now in its sixth. From 17f-'.i to ls--n i: was ant i-nionaivhiui and anl.i-foreijn. with Federalist olliecis and American Indian costumes, customs, and regalia, cultivating a distaste for Luvopean modes of government by the sedition substitution of certain fancied aborig inal customs. Its members discussed political questions after the Indian fash ion around council lires, at which they smoked the traditional calumet, a--sisted, perhaps, by draughts of the tra ditional fire-water. In ITil.i they re cti veil the Creek Indians, on a vi.i: which one of the Tammany sachems ha. I induced the Creek chiefs to make to New York, in such perfect imitation -of the native costume, and in such gor geously savage feathers, moccasins, leg gings, war-paint, war-clubs, and tom.i hawks, that the Crocks si t up a whoop of joyful recognition, which the T un many braves mistook for the Indian mode of saying grace before hum n carving and scattered in a ru.ldi n panic At tliis interview Seer -tary Jefferson Chief Justice Jay, Governor Georuc Clinton and Mayor Duune were pre ent. The Creeks danced and sang tin E-tho song; the Tammany gran.! sachem assured the Creek grand snehems that the spirit of Columbus and Tammany were then vromenading arm-in-arm through the Wigwam; the Sagamore of Tammany pn Rented the chiefs with the calumet, who in return dubbed him by one of those musical Indian appellations which ought to be immortal Tuliva Mieoor chief of the White Town. In the evening the en tire patty attended the theater together, and before they left the Creeks entered into a treaty with Washington, the bt loved sachem of the Thirtivn Fires.
