They aro standing together at the window, and her face is turned away. Hut now she faces him, with flushed checks and straujcly excited manner. "Can you defend yourself for being your father'!) son ?

She repeats bis bust words aloud, when ho has closed the dour, and. for a minute, sits just as he left her, hardly lvnlizin that be has indeed gone out of her life. Hut the sound of his quick tread, and the narp click ol the latch as the gate closes behind bini, come through the wide open window and smite her heart with a dull pain. A low cry escapes her as she "cts up and walks restlessly up and down the floor. His son ! his sou ! she keeps saying to herself, while the aching at her heart crows intolerable. "Hut so noble ! so strong and true ! so unlike all others ! Oh why did I meet him?

CHAPTKU VI. VF.ItT TIKED. On a balmy evening, late iu summer, as Caesar sits sunning himself on the bench under the arbor of honeysuckle, a shadow falls athwart the sunlight. Iiookiug up from his doze, he sees "the light of his eyes" approaching across the beach. The glad surpiise of bis welcome is clun ked as he catches sight of her face. Can this be the brave-heal U'd girl who left two years ago? The boiinie tho Hall 'ace was shadowed thru with the first great loss uf a life time- had been shadowed all her life, indeed. Yes she had gone out hope fully to meet the untried future. Hut now ! She is must lair to see a rare pic ture, as she atauds in the warm light against the unbroken background of sea and sky. Her auburn hair is smoothed back from her low, white forehead, and braided low ou ber neck, as of old. Her ciitnplexiou is as fresh as ever, though pale. Her smiling mouth, with the rare red lips, und the large, limpid brown eyes, ure the same. Aud jot there is a subtle hange. You scarcely know in what it consists, but that she is changed a glance suttlcos to tell, lo Caesars eyes, even the firm white hands that are loosely I clasped together, have a sad expression, "Are you glad to see me ?" The smile seems the ghost of her old bright smile. He has fallen on his knees, and teal's are raining down bis checks, while he softly strokes her bauds, "Thank de lord I Oh, thank de good Lord, I libs to see my baby one mo' tinio ! Come iu de house, 51 iss Carolyn, an set right down iu de rockin' ebc r, an' let de ole man look at you onct mo', an' thank do Lord agin fur fctchiu' you hack fo' Ho calls me cross de ribber. 1 bin a citting' mity inipashieut, hut I'll thank Him ef He please to let mc stay a wmie iongr, now you done come back.

U seems tu have lost its old-time jnyous ring. Miss Carolyn, he says, when she has ifiiswered all his questions, and has tried to satisfy him that she has had nothing to trouble her, but only perfect kindness and much love iu ber new home, somehow it keeps a cumin' up in my mind dat ynu ain't pre.ackly de gal you wu fo' you 1 de ole place.

As if, as be earliest friend, she looks up to him for sympathy more than to any other. They are. full of tears as she drops her head on her knees and says wearily : "I am only very tired, I tide laesar, and have come borne to rest. CHAPTKU VII. CAIKILYN's STOHY. She is resolute, though gentle, and they let her have her way. A lady house keeper is procured, aud she settles down to the quiet routine of the old life. L will live down tins weakness, she says to hcrsell, unit so day niter day she goes about the place, visiting the cottages, di recting improvements in the grounds taking lessons from the house-keeper, striving to beautify her home, striving to ennoble her lit c. "Miss Carolyn is so jewmestic,'' says Caesar, alter having been up to the Hal one morning, wbero bo bad seen ber flit ting about in her white dress, with lur sleeves rolled up to her elbows, "an' vit it mi t na ral to her. Look like she s iloin' it to sorter rest her heart from sumtbin' else." lie is right. Io what she will, the days drag heavily heavily. 1 here are days and nights when "the old sorrow wakes and cries" cries out fiercely for some respite to its bitterness will not be stifled by the feeble moan : "It cannot be Had she any right, it asks, to grieve and worry so true a heart ? What rest for june who has ruthlessly put away from her a love that might have been the crown ul ber womanhood ? She begins to under stand that the love she has vowed to tear from ber heart is a part of her lii'e, and can be parted from her never more. Due golden day, when Nature is in ec stat ics with the glory of sea and sky and sunlight, and her own heart very restless, she walks down to Caesars cabin, and sitting down on the door-step, tells him a story: "Once there was a Russian Prince of stainless character ami proud name, wl; had a bitter, implacable enemy. The en emy was a man of mean origin, and he envied the I nnec Ins greatness, and hated him because ho was noble and good well as great hated him at first only fur this, for he was brave and courteous, and bad not another enemy in the wide world Afterwards the Prince was obliged to punish the man for some weighty offence, and then bis revenge and bitterness knew no bounds. Ho swore before high heav en that be would break bis heart and ruin his life, and he succeeded, because be was wicked and unscrupulous. He lobbed him of his dearest treasures, murdered bis cherished wife by bis cruel Jiersoeutious, and at last the rrincc himself succumbed and went down to the grave with broken heart, in the prime of manhood, " I he Prince had an only son, whose fur tunes were faithfully watched over by freed serf, who had served the family for two generations.

We firmly disbelieve in farmers that will not improve; in farms that grow poorer every year; in starving cattle; in fanners hoys turning into clerks and merchants; in farmers' daughters unwilling to work, and iu all fanners ashamed of their vocation, or who drink whiskey till honest people are ashamed ot them.

(ViM'iiio Tiiint : The Presidential iiiii- diihiey of Mr. J nines (I. Hlaine is a menace of evil to the Republic. .Ye lo Ytirk .SVitfis Ztiliunj : We would prefer that the country had been spared ihc danger of the election of such a Presi dent. liiitlon Ucmhl: Relieving that Mr. Hlaine would bo a bail and dangerous Pres ident, we hope to see him defeated. Re lieving him to be a weak candidate, wo ex pect to see him defeated. ('Iiiciiin Xi im: No one has disproved the charges made against Mr. Hlitine, nor have they ever been withdrawn. In short, he is to-day in all respects the same that be was before the Convention assembled. Jiiinlun Tnuitcrliil : He only chroni cle what is a patent fact to every discern ing person, that the I'cinoenits ean win thousands of Republican votes for their Presidential candidates in mass provided they select their strongest mail. lliulfiird Ti'mf : The Connecticut Republicans, the very best lass of the Pllr,.V and the larger part of it, too, openly i .1. . in.: i condemn the Chicago nomination. If Hartford County is an index of the State, it will be hard work to reconcile them to them to the support of the ticket. And the feeling is very general. Sin tmitifU llrnmiimia I liese nomi nations are revolutionary. They are sue! as the Republican party has never before presented, and will carry dismay and alarm to thousands ot men who have rcgarden this as the party of safety, of integrity, of principle and ot high moral ends. I hey portend deserved disaster und defeat to the Republican party and a revolution in the National Administration. Hiailiuij (I'u.) EtKjfe: If the lVnio iiits at Chicago should iiouiinate a weak ticket instead of a strong one, New York, notwithstanding the ilecliun of Independ ents, may go Keptiblieau. Hut il the I lemoerats should name I mien, or ( leve- land, or Rayard. or some other first -class man fur President, and wilb a well coii- duelel campaign, their chances for miivcss are heller than the ivepiililieaus. CIii'i'iiiiii Haiilil: Distrust, planning defeat und proposing an Independent lie publican ticket, goesout of the Convention, and not all the Republican press will eat its bitter and persistent words of condem nation. Party men will find it wise to defer diseussiiiu of Maine's chances of suc cess until the campaign shall fully open, which cannot come until the nominee of the later Chicago Convention is fully iu the field. Xnr Ymi; Eriiiiin) I 'out : What makes the matter all the worse is that the situa tion thus created is one in which no coiu plolnise is possible. No Voter dure to tell his friends or his family that he is going to vote for a man knowing him to be a kiiavo. What is to be the issue from tlii deplorable and disastrous, but deliberately created muddle, it is yet tun soon to fore cast. That Mr. Hlaine cannot Ih- elected welisik on as certain. Whether he can be defeated without ruining the organiza tion which is being prostituted iu the ser vice of bis selfish ambition remains to be seen. Wnrrmter Sin: Not only was Mr. Hlaine the five choice of the convention, but it is safe to go further and say that bis nomination is acceptable to a considera ble majority of the Republican voters of the country. Hut that dis's not imply bis clw -turn will be easy. What tho in dependent Republicans can do in New York was proved in the election of 1SS-. What they will do this will be soon in November. We should have no pleasure iu predicting disaster to the Republican party, but it is impossible now to expect Willi i'dUtidciii'0 MT. Hlaine s election. Fl)ihiuj (.A) 7iW: We aro of that large class of Republicans who regard Mr. Maine's nomination as a groat blundor. It might be a good thing for tho country if there was a change in the (iovcriiinciilal party, anyhow. If the Democrats ouly liad sense enough to repudiate such dema gogues as Rutlor, EnglL.h and Tildeu and and trust themselves to men like 1 liurman, Rtryard and Clojivehind it might be well to have a change. Hlaine's campaign will lie largely composed of his own personal ele ments fireworks and brass bunds. There will be lots of hurrah, of bunting aud of bluster, uiinglcd with loud promises and gilded hopeji. Hut the votes how alsiut them ? Xririmit Xiin itiuf Journal: We do uot believe the Convention bus mude a wise or a safe choice. In order to win the party miLst poll its full strength, and there are thousands ot liteloiig Iteiiulili cans who wiH hesitate to vote for the Maine statesman. They arc mostly tho silent men who stand aloot trom caucuses and conventions and who have nothing to fear from tho crack of tho party whip. They are thoughtful and in earnest, and, in doubtful States like -ew lork, are like ly to determine the final result. Should these Independents' act as they have done in certain other cases the mistake made at Chicago will soon be apparent. Jlislnn Aihvrliiu r : With unabated df V'.tion to the great purposes for which the Republican party was organized and has been maintained, we declare our inability to support the nomination, either in the present aspect of the o'itical field or in any which uow seems likely to present itself. li,,cl'ilrr (.V.

II Y I'LAK.V Artll STA. If uny position demands genius, and will be satisfied with nothing short of it, it is the position of editor of a local paper. Iu the first place, he must know every body's peculiarities, und be cognizant of all their limits and tailings, and the faults and failings of their ginnd-fathers, and grand-mothers, and cousins, and limits, and mothers-in-law, else he will be liable to get something into his paper which will hurt somebody 'h feelings. Ile must print everything sent by an old siibs. riber. If a man subscribes for his paper, he claims a right to givo his views ou hen-raising, and pig killing, and theology, and the moral aspect of dancing no matter if he cannot spell pig correctly, and docs not know of a single case where some beautiful young .lady dropped dead in a ball room. The hx'al editor is expected to give every man, and every man's business, a gratuitous puff. If Mr. A., is painting bis bouse, it must be mentioned in the paper; and if Mrs. It. has a calla lily in blossom, she wuuts the momentous fact set before tho public in primers mk, headed with capi tals. When Jones kills a ling weighing four hundred and filly, that must be chronicled and when Hrown dispatehesanuthei' weigh iug four hundred und sixty, that must he put in iu type; und so ou through the list ol all the other big pollers in town. When there is a wedding, the loca paper must publish a list of the salt-cellars. and liuttcr-ilislies, and soup-ladles, ami photograph-albums, bestowed by the lov ing tricnds; anil il he dues the thing up in guod style, and remarks feelingly ou the lieuuly ol the lirnle, he will lie re warded with a slice of brick bat, frosted with hardtack, yclept wedding cake; and if he eats it. be will need to take a box pills, aud two or lliree bottles ul sarsapa- nlla lielore he is well over ll. 1 he local editor must never indulge in personalities. Ile must pass lightly over the lael thai young Jenkins, the son tho rich Squire Jenkins, was arrested for drunkenness, and he must nut allude to the faot (hat heaeuii (i rimes, who gives so much fur the support of religion, made bis money by lioht weights and measures. Ile must always lie ready to give copies of his papvr lo his friends to send to their 1 1 lends. He must imt think of asking anything, ifauybodv he isacqiiaiutetl with invents a new-fangled nutmeg-gr.iter and wants it noticed. Ho mustn't charge more than one dol lar and fifty cents a year for his paper. Ile must n 'ver send out lulls to his sub- serib'i'S. lie must wait patiently till they let ready to set lie tlcir aeeounts. To send lulls looks just as il he was atraid lie might Hot get his pav. Every issiiA of bis paper must suit every Iv. It must c uitaiii all the news. It must limit isithing fresh. There must be it least two niiirder, three divore.-s, and one suicide, iii each number, or the puH'r will he thrown down as Hat and stale. No life iu it. So stupid! It must not contain typographical errors. It must print all the poetry scut by all the aspiring young jmetesses in that section; and if the kisses should be printed hisses, and (he shouts should be printed snouts which will sometimes happen when the MS. is illegible then that editor's fate Is .sealed, and the sin-ess of bis paper is ruined, for she will never, never send him another effusion so long us she lives. No, indeed I The local editor has a hard row to hoe; and if bo is neutral iu polities and religion, it is still harder. Hut let him bruee up and do his best, for everybody knows that if tam" '!? ii"t von" to htm nn s he expects, firliiii . ii on tli.i way to him il be waits long enough lor it to reach him. Tor there is no surer way to become a millionaire than to publish a local paper. RlaVlCtr OK HALT ON TIIK lll.OOI). Dr. Stevens, a French physician saw a butcher killing a pig. He observed that he stirred the blood of the animal, and added a handful of common salt to it while stirring, which made it criiusoii,and,the stirring beiug discontinued remained fluid. Tho change of color awakened his curiosity. The butcher could give no explanation, except that it kept it from jellying and spoiling. Dr.Stevens seized a vessel caught some of the blood, anil uiu.le several experi ments by putting salt into it and found that the blackest blood was instantly chaiifed into a bright vermilion by the use of salt. "Aud," said he,"hcre is a fact that may lead to a practical nilc." He had observed, that in cases of yellow fever in the army, that the blood drawn was very black and fluid, and on adding gait it became vennihon, aud it retained its freshness, Putridity of the blood is one of the characteristics of yellow fever. He there fore abandoned the usual way of treating it and gave bis patients a mixture of various salts, and in a very short time reduced the mortality from fever in the West Indies from one In hve to one in fifty.
