Vicar, shaking his head ; he knew that Jo had got the better of him, and if he had not been a man oi great self-control, he would have shown how ruffled he left. I'm sure I humbly hope you'll excuse him, sir," said Mrs. Flint ; 'I'd have boxed his ears, but he's that saucy I daren't do it some how." "No, no, I. don t want you to punish him," said the Vicar; "we must remember the kind of home he has had. I daresay Mr. Bar low will soon bring him into shape. I will speak to him as 1 go home, and you must send the boy down to-morrow morning." Mr. Lewis's advice was good, but he did not siiggest any means by which it could bo carried out, and Mrs. Flint felt very hopeless when the next morning came; and school-time drew on ; she had ta ken care to say nothing more to Jo for fear of increasing his spirit of opposition, and she was doubt ful how to begin the subject now. She was spared the trouble, however, by an unexpected remark on Jo's part. "I'm coins to walk as far as lisappeared, and he was not cer tainly going to volunteer to chase him, so he went on with the morn ing's work as though nothing had happened. Jo meanwhile, having watched his enemy back into school, saun tered on until he reached- the ichurch. It was a warm morning, without a breath of wind stirring, and the insects were buzzing drow sily in the sunshine. The door of the little church stood open, and the sound of music stole out into the quiet churchyard. Jo drew near to listen, and be fore long he had slipped softly in side. ; . Kate Hilton, the organist, was practicing : she had plenty of spare time, and many hours of it were spent at the organ. She had been playing a long time this morning, and the blower was be ginning to think longingly for his dinner ; he sighed heavily once or twice, but as Kate took no notice of the demonstration, he sum moned up courage at last to let out the wind.

Jo contented himself with a de fiant whistle as they went out, and as the shrill sounds echoed through her head, Mrs. Flint re solved to go and arrange the mat er without delay. She was spared her journey, however, by seeing Mr. Lewis coming down the road, and running down to her cottage nn her difficulty.

It seems t me that the practice is a bad one, and I hope Congress will take this mat ter in hand and pass legislation to prevent a pension being given wid ows of soldiers ot the last war who marry the soldiers in the fu ture. Instances have been report ed to the Bureau of Pensions which show that women have married pensioners on their deathbeds in order that a widow's pension might be secured. It is possible that Congress may give this proposition a hospitable reception and favorable conside ration ; but, if so, it will be some thing like a new departure in pen Raleigh, N. C.t Sept. 4. The sentiment in this State k favor of free coinage of silver is 60 strong that the Republicans eleu- ted to Congress have to promise or the stump to vote for it.
