Mimi Legrand bad ma1e "up her tr.iiid
,tliat epinstcrliotnl was to Ic her lot. Not
that she was ugly or ill-tempered. oh, no!
fihe was a pretty as a picture, aud ha
sweet aa a May morning; bnt when one
"lives on Erfplauade street, in a hous with
p, high wall around it. with a maiden anut
for a daenna and a papa who scow la at the
bare mention of "marriage." one runs a
poor chance of meeting onot fate,
Mirui was just eighteen, aud thonglfah
washrooght up Iikea recluse, she lean to
think it was high time she had a lover,-.
One eviiiing, as she sat in the company
of her father aud Aunt Diane, situ re
marked suddenly, in a plaintive voice,
''Lacy Marshall was married last Tuesday."
"And very silly at her age!" retorted
Aunt Diaae. "A mere chit she ouljt to
be at school."
Mimi had her own opinion upon the snl
. ject, bat she prndttitly kept it to herself;
fuerely remarking, "ililjie Dupont is nmr
ried, and she is si 5 mouths yvungcr than
.1 am." -
"And what thcnJ" asked papa, looking
op from his newspaper.
"Oh! nothing." Mimi replied, sighing
"profoundly. "Harriet s.-iyi he ;h iuini;d
at St. Louis, with six lri Icimriid.-, aud a
veil, and a train three yards long."
"Harriet is an idle gossiping servant,"
tnfprrnotcd her aunt. "Who has do hatl-,
pss tilling your head with iucli nonsense."
''And 1im.'s my little girl envy these
young ladies?" Mr. I'irrand inquired.
"We-edl," returned Mimi, in a non-committal
tone, "It must be very nice. All
fuy friends are marrying, and and I am
getting to be qnile an old m lid!"
"Marriage is not the chief end of life."
paid Miss Dian severely, ."Tla-ro are
Holder, higher things to which a wonjau
may devote herself."
"Oh, lother!" and Mimi shrugged Ur
. sancy shouhlf rS.
"Mimi," Siiid her fathpr, set joijsly, 'You
rnnst give np these fooljslj thoughts. "You
inight Had great nnhappiiiess in a lovi-r."
'But papa," tirgiMl Miiui, "I am sure you
were married."-
"And bitterly repented it," her father
might have replied, looking Kick npon his
unhappy wedded life; but be only frowned
and said, "Let us have no more of this
folly, Mirui."
Thua enubbod, she did not dare to ay
roorc; bnt she ponted, and thought to her
self, "I might as well 1k a fright, for. no
one ever seesme. Unless I can slip away,
I never can g out walking without Aunt
Diane, aud even then she makes me bun
dle up my head in a veil, until,' no doubt,
evcry.one thinks I've had the nuall-pox.-As
for a walk on Cunal street, Aunt Diane
says the men are impudent nod stro ton
much, so she takes me round by all the
alleys and little twi-cent streets. Ii'a a
shame that's what it is."
But the darkest cloud has a silver lin
ing. One afternoon, when papa was away
at his business, an I A'lnt Ijiane had "just
stepped 'out to see a friend," Mimi meditat
ed upon what usa she could make of her
liberty. ' She sat down l ,tlie piano, and
began "I love my love;" then jumped up
. with a yawn.
The only thing sh conld Qnd. in shape
of a romance, was "Telemachus; but she
soon flung it into a corner, and went out
on the balcony.
It was a lovely April day, and as she
bent over the flower-boxes, there came a
loud ring at the bell. Hanging over the
railing, regardless of appearances, shs de
scried a baodsouio youth standing on the
stes.
"A man!" she exclaimed iowardlv, "Oh,
joy!"
A few minutes Inter, Harriet came up
stairs and said, "Miss Mimi ,dru's a gen
telman in de parlor, callin' hissclf Mr.
"Wolfe an' he wants to see Miss Diany."
"Aunt Diane is not at home." answered
Mimi. '
"I done tole hi.n dat a'ready, an he says
any ob the Urn ly II do ies as good.
"I will see hinj." said Miiui with digni
ty. .
"Do law, tnissT will you!' cried Harriet,
awestruck by such bravery; adding dis
creetly, "But what'll Miss Diany sayP
- "Whatever she chooses," said the little
rebel, with a parting glaqco at the mir
ror. Meanwhile, George Wolfe was gazing
aronnd the old-fashioned room, with its
tarnished gilding aud spindle-legged
chairs, and deciding that its inhabitant
ranst le a dreadful set of old fossils, when
the door opened, and the sweetest little
preatqre iu the world camo in. George

"I'm not Aunt Diane." sho returned in
an insulted tone, "I'm Mimi.
"Oh! I did not think it probable that
you were the President of the Society;
however, I snppose the papers will be safe
in -our hands,'' said George, and having
finished his errand he should' have gone.
But he still lingered, and remarked bril
liantly, "We are having beautiful weath
er'' i . .
"Beautiful !" assented Mimi, luoklnir at
him nuder her long eyelashea, aJ think
ing the man was not so black as Aunt Di

"I suppose, he continued desperately,
"you enjoy walking iu Canal street, these

"Al!" suiil Mimi, slinking her head sad
lv, vou little know Aunt Diane if vou sup

not allowed to t walk on any street

"How ctuel" he responded svmputhcti-

. "Isn't it?" said she, being an inveterate
chatter-box, and glad to rind any one who
would Iii-tcu to her. ftI might as well be

''I should like it very much," answered
Georjje lnddlv. "if she were as charming
as some people I know.' t
"But Aunt Diane isn t, sanl Mimi, .con

"Absurditv! George cried warmlvi and
after more con vera lion of a like nature,
ho rose to go," saying, "I hopd this will

"Oli, mj!" cried! Mimi, aghast, "Don't

George seemed unite cast down for a
minute, and then said, "I wjlj say good-
ye; but it shall not be forever. j.

lack lashes. i
As soon as Aunt Diane rnme home.
Mimi told her I nb uit Mr. Wolfe,
and rave her the package of papers.

the spinster, "alone without a rh'tjwron !
What well-liehavcd girl ever did such a

What will your father say when I tell him!"
"Don't see what I've done," pouted Mi
mi "ami why did you tell me men were so
frightful and wicked. I wasn't a bit afraid

"Misguided irirl!" groaned her aunt,
"yon will briinr djy grey hairs iu sorrow to

thought Mioji; a I ling abeid, "Why, L:-'ll

Miss Diane rtfhvied that this artful re
mark was true, uud m.t firing to le re
primanded ly her brother, siu m.ignio
tuously said. "Pr 'otiee, I will c-uisent to
s'are vou, Mimi, but never lei it happen
again.'" f
"Oh, dear, no said Mimi, with a vir
tuous air; and that evening she prattled
as artlessly as ever to her unsuspecting

Having liitlt' else. Iu think about, he
was continually jn her mind, and the
warnings of her guardians defeated their
object, by making her realize that stuleu
waters are sweet. J
While this .Ns" going on, an old aunt
o"T Miss Diane, from whom she had ex
pectations, was taken very ill, nod Miss
Diane flew to her succor, leaving Mjmi to
the care of hifr father, who, fearing no
danger, tunk no pns tiitiuus.
One afternoon. Mimi, taking advantage
of her new-ound liberty, went o-it to carry
some soup, to a H"r ina!id iu St. Au
thtmy's alley, and this being done linger
cd in the Sfptarej By a strange coinci
dence George Wolfe suddenly appeared
from, behind a eucalyptus treo and Mimi
turned a3 rosy as an April dawn, at sight
of him. ) .'
"I had begun to despair of ever seeing
you again," he said, "and almost made up
ujy tiiiod. to brave the dragon."
"'Annt Diane ij away ou a visit, now,"
she replied, demurely.
"That accounts for your being ont of
doors," he said; "L have often seen you
at vour window, like ir caged bird."
"A j -til-bird, I suppose you mean,. I
might as well have lieen iu prison. How
nice you must ljud ii to go altout by vour
selff" j
"I know somo one I would Ji!o to go
about with me, all the time."
"Who is it V questioned Mimi.
"I 'ntu afraid to tell you."
"Why should you be? I won't burt
yon."
"Yon giva me permission to tell I"
"Whv, ves, of course." Who is it !"
"You", Mirni !" j
"0-oh!" she cried, opening her eyes
very wide, Would you, really 1" -"Yes,
indeed."
"But you might get tircdj sonjetimcs."
"With you, Mimi, I could go on for
ever, and ever, and-"
"Walking forever? I think I would
like to take a strcebcar, occasionally."
"Now, you're laughing at me, Mimi. I
thought vou liked me better than that,"
Discreet silence ou M i mi's part.
"Perhaps, though, you duu't like me at
all."
Still silence. ,...;
"Do yon, Mind f"--very urgently.
"Ye-es," sho murmured, hanging her
head.
Hands clasp, eyes Wiet, beneath the
eucalyptus tree -and "the old, sweet story
is told again."
These meetings had gone on for some
time, when George determined to go to
Mr". Legrand, aud throw 'himself upou his
mercy. - ,
"With outward cal nun's?, bnt 'quaking
Inwardly, he entered Mr. Lcgrand's pre

George, very much abashed. .

only the largest capitals will at all express

It frightened George, but he went on
bravely, "I am the junior partner of the

"After all the trouble I have taken to
keep her from contact with the male sex!"
interrupted Mr. Legrand, apostrophizing
the opposite wall.

Mr. Robert Jngersoll, having declared
that Sliakspeare was not a believer in the
truths of Christiauitv, Dr. Belles, a Clevc
land 'clergyman, a student of tho great
dramatist, has undertaken in a series of
lectures to show that he believed, not onlv
in a Supreme Being, but in the incarna
tion of the Divine in Christ, and in a
special overuling l'rovmence. Jio sis
tains his positions by uany quotations,
proving that bhakspearo drew largely
from the Bible ami had r. full and svm pa
thetic familiarity with the prayers, ritual
ami ordinances of tho church, i or ex
ample, "Portia's" fanioqj address before
the court, at the trial of "Shylock," be
ginning, "A ho qual.tjrcL mercy is not
straiueil," is but a paramimia) of the words
of Jesus, "It is.uioro bltlcd to give than

"What a piece of work roan! I7iw noble
ia rva.-i.ii! bow infinite in Aiculti:! in form and
in-'vinliow aduiirablv! in nction how like an
Hiigel' in apprehension, how like a god!"
Calls to mind the Psajruists apostrophe.
"What is man that tho j ait mindful of
him?". The celebrated snliloonv, "To be
or not to be," says tho 1 lecturer, has its
root in the Scripture, rheu tho remorse
and the fear of death anil doom on the
part ofthe villains iu Shakspcare's dramas,
prove, he says, that the poet believed in
the worm that dieth not, and the iire that.
is not quenched. I "How'rioes the believer
in SIaspeares atheism, he says, "recon
cile with his belief tho wonderful language
of Cardinal Wnlsey to Cromwell, begin
ning, l charge thee, fling away ambitionf
Shakspearo an atheisif "Horrible! hor
rible! Not less than ' a thousand times
does he mention tho naine of God more
often, indeed, than tljiat Bicred name is
mentioned in the Bible.- Not less than a
thousand times does La prefer to God b'v
some of his works." So in various pas
sages of the dramas nnrf sninets ho finds
pp..f of Shakspcare's lelef irj a loving and
personal God; and particularly iu Shaks
pcare's will, where ho commits his soul to
God. ; .
Moreover, says the lecturer, Shakspearo
believed that mat) is wttat he is declared
to lie iu the whole sy.etn f theology
resting j iijon tho Bild "nut n being
cyidvcd from unseen agencies aud influ
ences of matter, but created in the image
of the great. God Hi'Cself, itot an ad-vam-ed
monkey, or an Jmproved ape, but.
an altogether dillVreo. Vorder of being,
fpiiitii.il as well as ma Trial; visildo and
iu visible, . iuorial..an.dLiiurtaL Yet not
all pure nud holy, but Iitten from his ori
ri int 1 high estate an.i 'prono to crime.
Never in all the nights'of his imagination
had he the thought of iniv of our modern
materialists as to the mere animal nature
and origin of -man, nor has ho created a
singlo character so horribly depraved as
to soil his own nest by the denial of man's
high anl Heavenly original. And as for
h latest invention of German neologv,
that tho soul of t::au is only the produc
tion of jhe 'cheinieophyricuf mathemati;
of atomic os-jil lotions we doubt if any
thing like it 'can lie found iu any of the
vagaries of any of the ghosts or witches
the great dramatist has produced."
Jf from the. words of Shakspcare's
characters it were possible to discover
Sliakspeare's ow'u thoughts and feelings,'
Dr. B-illes would havfe made out his case'.
JJuf, 11:1 fortunately, he, ag well as Mr.
lngers'dl, is dealing with a poet and i
dramatist, and not with a distinctive moral
or religions teacher. He puts into tho
moi.ths of l.js characters opinions and sen
timents appropriate to them. He makes
his good men and women talk and act like
good men and yoi:jei), while his villains
discourse nud act villainously, Ou the
principle laid down by Dr. Bo lies it would
be possible to make of Shakspeare a be
liever iu all sorts of superstitions, iu w itch
craft, in astrology, even iu pagan isn). He
is both u Catholic, and a Protestant, a
heathen and a Christian; a generous, ten
ds r, sell-sacrificing woman, a cruel, bloody,
remorseless tyrant; a sweet, filial daughter,
an aiTec: innate, true, devoted wife, and a
heartless, unnatural sop.; a pious priest, a
se-lFer at religion and the priesthood, a
devout believer iu the rites cf the church,
a floater at its ceremonies, nud a hundred
other contradictious nud inconsistencies.
Ami because he is all this, he is the
greatest dramatit nnd--foet that has yet
shed light upon the intellectual world.
But, takiiug his works as a whole and
considering him as the ripest product of
his age) what is the probability in regard
to his belief? His personality is so ob
scure that we h.rve nothing but conjec
tures to go upon, and the surmise about
him must rest upon probabilities. , On
this basis there can be no hesitation in
saying that Dr. Bolles, however erroneous
in his method, is correct jn his conclusions.
S4iukspcure lived iu an age of belief, and
of poetized belief. Though the religious
controversy between the Church of Koine
ami the English throne had been scarcely
quelled by the accession or Klizabeth, yet
the very controversy shows the depth of
teligious fervor then prey .lent. It was
not an age of religions doubt, nor of con
flict over civil liberty. There is not a
hint iu Shakspeare of the profound agita
tion in regard to constitutional rights aud
personal liberty, which, in less than fifty
years afterward, shook tho kingdom with
civil war. In )n age when Baoon, the
philosopher, was a believer, it is hardly
supposahlo that Shaks(care, the poet ami
dramatist, shoi)ld be a skeptic. He par
took, even of tho religious prejudiced 'of
his time. His dtatua of tho "Merchant qf
Venice" cmlodie8 the prevailing scorn
ami hate of tho Christian for he Jew.
He probably never so lunch as dreamed of
representing man, except iu "tho imago of
his Maker," because those speculations
whjch hayc resulted j the theory of "uu
advance.! monkey and improved ape," had
00 esiMeuce. oncu a conception was, 111
the verv 'nature of things, as impossible at
mai time as tup conception 01 tue steam
engine or the electric telegraph. Almost
as little was known'of nioukevs and apes
or even pf human 'physiology, as of tho
properties of steam ami electncitv
The attempt to find in Shakspeare what
in tlreniature of the case cannot ho there,
mnsi necessaruv ran. 11 uue 110 :repre
seats more dearly and profoundly ' than
any otheri writer tue infinite depths and
mvriad cross-lights of human character,
yet ho was subject! to tho limitations of
the day uud tune nt which ho ljved. .All
that was in man as'a moral and sentient
being ho saw with Imicroscopio power; of
all that was hcyoii l or oi;Uido of him,
either in the region !of science or philoso
phy, ho fo'uhl sec no more than was visi

undoubtedly, itr the 'religion, as he did in
tho government, of jhis day; and the idea
of a Darwinian theory or a constitutional
republic jjf titty juitlious of people were
alike denied him: j
Even had he beeri acquainted with these
views hisj dramas might-still have been as
full of profound religions insight as we
now find them, though Jt is doubt ful if the
soil of soi aualvtiy tin age as this could
ivo birtni to so rich a nature as Shak-

which to found a conjecture of his beliefs.

GOVERirOU SE3TiIOIJft.'3 VIEWS.
Governor Seymour, Trom his retired ele
vation, surveys tliq whole, field of politics
even as his stanelv mansion on . the Deer
field hills overlooks the noble vallev of
the Qriskany, ; As the general watching
the battle from tho distant hill top knows
better tho prospects of victory than do the
combatants themselves, so the Sage of
Deerfteld, awa'v. from the smoke aud din
of the battle field, observes conditions of
the struggle which cscapy tho eyo that is
bunded by tho passion oftho'hour or the
smoke and dust of the field.
Governor Seviijour does uot believe
Grant" will bp nominated. "Some new
man 'whose relationships arc as yet uu-
known, will, he predicts, be the dark
horse to win. He deduces this conclusion
from tho history of the Republican party,
which is not iu the habit of taking up its
strong men for Presidents. Grant's first
nomination ns due jto the fact that "no
btjo knew what his politics or policy
.vere," But now both arp known and that
know ledge is fatal to his nomination. The
very composition of the Republican party
made up as it is of discordant elements
uecessitatcs tho taking up of -men. who,
like Hayes, "are so little known that no
section of the; country car) take offence.,'
The Governorrnles out of the race all the
candidates now prominent for the Chicago
nomination. " 41 ijey are all, he says, "too
Republican for (he Republican party."
As to Cincinnati, Gov. Seymour be
lieves the action of the Democratic Na
tional Convention will bo ""shaped bv the
course of events, and particularly by the
action of the? Republican Convention."
IJut so -far as the present is concerned "no
one can vet Jorecast tue action of the
Democratic partv, nor" aud there is a
half-hidden significance iu the words
"have those spoken of in connection with
the nomination for JVcsidetit clearly made
op their minds that thev wih to be put
upon the ticket.
Gov. Seymour s allusions to the condi
tion of the party in this State will com
mand a specia interest. Our differences
arc "drifting into the past, and arc' getting
behind the party in Us course in the' fu
ture. (Jn tncj other nam! the quarrels
among the Republicans are breaking out
along the pathways before them. 1 l.o
quarrels among tho Republicans, ore
"among voung and active men" and

are likely, therefore to last. Demo
cratic quarrels are over old men, who"
will ait pass away in two or inree
years at the most." What folly, therefore,
la continue them !. ' The Governor refers
sadly to his ow n experience, in espousing
the quarrels ot olI men. -Itie men died
but the quarrels survived, and "the w ounds
received ruuklo to this dat
mosilics engendered, manv
, and""' the ani
of tlieSn, have
never
been forgotten or
al laved. It is
foolish for voung men,"' continues Gov.
Seymour, "to waste their time in quarel
ling over, or espousing the cause of old
ineii." Mav the voung men of the Demo
cratie party heed this wise admonition !
Gov. Seymour dues not think much of
"plans" for uniting the party iu ihis State.
The party "must grow together in, natural
ways" he says.' He has no confidence in
the efficacy. pf "conferences and contri
vances," and - for reasous which he slates
briefly but forcibly.
Gov. Seymour favors sending to Cincin
nati an unpledged delegation. He would
select as delegates "fair apd able men,
who will have in view the promotion of
peace and good will," and whose efforts
will be "to leqm the state of public feel
ing aud to shape their, action in a way t
promote the true interest of "those they re-

Revisal, it will be seen that it is the L.:y
of all administrators ami executors to give
notice to all persons holding claims cgaii-i-t
their estates to exhibit them before a cert
tain day and such notice must be rU .l ur
the court house and at four cthtr public
places in the county, or bo published in
the county newspaper. The reason tLU
notice is required is to enable "the admin
istrator or executor to settle up the estate,
and the claims of all creditors not pvo
sented within the time.' prescribed iu tha
notice are barred. If an administrator cr
executor pays out piy money without gi
ing this notice he tenders himself person-;
ally liable to the other creditors, and ever,
if he gives notice ho still must prove ir,
and if these nof.ict?s are posted up at four
places (instead of being published in tLe
county paper) the law says he must prove
it by 'a witness stating the times and
places when aud where he saw such notice
posted." Now, wo oik ljow manv admin
jstrators are able to furnish such proof of
their compliance with the law " In this
connection we copv the following-from tho
Milton Chronicle. "We.kiov of a case.

of fully fifty miles an liouir, backed np iij

instant stop, trembling in every wheel,
while a 'hot perspiration 'of steam covered
its surface. After being carefully sponged

The mule waited until the locomotive was
