Thine angel eyes upon out western isle,
Which in full choir hails thy approach, 0
Spring !
The hills tell each other, and the listening
Valleys hear all our longing eyes are turned
Up to thy brieht pavilions ; issue forth
And let thy holy feet visit our clime.
Come o'er the eastern bills, and let oar winds
Kin thy perfumed garments ; let ns taste
Thy morn and 'evening breath ; scatter thy

Oh, deck her forth with thy fair fingers; pour
Thy soft kisses on her brow ; and put
Thy golden crown upon her languished head,
Whose modest tresses were bound up for

KATIE KEARNEY.
BY MARGARET MARCH.
At this, in Katie's -words they
turned in ; but had she known the
many weary hours that were to
pass before she could tarn out,'
Bhe would hare remained on deck a
while longer. Yes, Katie fell a
(Victim to that terrible monster call
ed sea-sickness. For three days
the fought the enemy with little or
to success, but at the beginning of
die fourth she became 3uddenly
better, and being heartily tiredof
the confinement, she crept on deck
looking almost a ghost ot the gay,
piquant Katie.
4 Oh! Katie,' exclaimed Charlie,
gently handing her to a seat, I'm
so glad to see you out, how are you
feeling to day ?'
Miserable ! how often did I wish
your'old oranges at the bottom of
t'le Atlantic ! I nerer want to see
another !'-and she turned her head
ia disgust at the imaginary fruit.
"Wait till you get to sunny
Italy before saying that, now I'm
tt your service, what can I do for
your amusement V
Nothing, 'so much talking makes
my head ache,' Katie felt badly and
found great pleasure in being a lit
tle cross.
WelL mum's the word I sup
pose,' said good natured Charlie.
It certainly was in this instance,
unbroken silence reigned for nearly
half an hour. At the end of that
time Katie began to see the error of
her ways and made sundry signs and
tokens for him to break the silence,
but wickedly he saw them not. At
last her temper got the better.
Well, you certainly are enter
taining: she said sharply. Your
mind is overflowing with bright and
brilliant ideas this morning-'
xes, said he, 'they are the
condensed thoughts of the last few
days. You know I've talked to no
one who could appreciate my cons
versation.
' Thank you for your insinua
tions,' replied she. But since you
have exhausted your mind, will you
be so kind as to read something ?
It would be too great a tax on my
mind iu its present weak condition
to follow your learned conversa
tion.'
With the greatest pleasure,' and
off he went in search of something
to read. -
Good morning Miss Kearney,'
said a gentleman coming up as
Charlie left. 1 heard you were
sick, am glad to-see you out.' .
'Thank you Mr. Morton,' re
turned Katie, 'I have been a little
unwell, but am much better and
am enjoying ths delightful breese.'
'It is' very exhilarating, and to
m,e there is nothing more pleasant
ly delightful than an ocean voyage.
To have good books or agreeable
companions, with nothing to burden
the mind, your only thought, the
enjoyment of the present moment.
I read a good article yesterday from
one of our heme journals. The au
thor sayB '.
' If you have no objection please
read it, interrupted Jatie, Ure
sunt that boy off to find something,
but he delayed so, I'm afraid it is
a vain search. It was no vam
search, however, for Charlie always
west well supplied : and was there
fore much surprised, on his return,
to find Mr. Morton seated by Katie
reading, while she seemingly en
ioved it to the fullest extent. He
gazed on the two a few seconds,
then quietly pave tbe 'Parisians'
to Mr. Morton, he joined Mrs.
Avart in another part ot the vessel
He is a conceited puppy !' he
prowled seatiDC himself by Mrs.
O - - a m
Avart.
' Who is -(hat ?' questioned the
lady. 1.' ;-' "
Why that - fellow Morton, re
plied Charlie- 'He has impudence
enouen to stocic tne LMioim marsec,
You ought to have seen him a few
minvtes ago,' and he related what
Vh TPirlpr alrearlr knows. In the
mean time,ICati found Mr.' Morton
very interlacing and, not at all con
ceitea or impuaent.
r Sd the hours of the long morn
mg passed away very pleasantly to
all save Charlie. The more he
thought upon it, the more impress
ed was he with the idea that he was
being imposed on by every one.
particularly by Katie and Mr. Mor
ton.
The pleasant conversations and
promenades on deck were to end
and none regretted them more than
Katie. ! Charlie had 1 become very
agreeable. Mr. Morton entertain
ing and the sea breezes had already
given renewed life and vigor to her
sifter.
But all these bright days and
pleasant enjoyments ' of the pure
spring weather, were to' be number
ed ' with the things of the nast.
Faces and voices grown so familiar
in the last few days were to sepa
rate and few of them perhaps ever
to meet again.
i CHAP. II. -
Armed in Liverpool, Mr. and
Mrs. Avart, Charlie and Katie pro
ceeded direct to Scotland. Mr.
Morton having been called to Lon
don, promised to meet the others in
the North country in the coarse of
a few weeks.
' Well, Katie,' said her brother,
' as you are the watch of this party,
what haunts shall we first enlight
en with our presence V
'Oh! let us wander over the
hills and glide on the clear lochs.
For you ken there is loch Lomond
whilk is muckle celebrated fo' a' its
beauty ah' hae ye forgot the sweet
lady Ellen an' her bonnie loch
Katrine?' Katie delivered this
with a wise shake of the head.
' I see it all,' said Charlie. 'Ka
tie has been reading Scott and she
has travelled over hill and brae to
see fair Ellen's island home.'
' And pray sir,' retorted she,
' for what all wise purpose has Sir
Charlie come ?'
' I thought I had made that suffi
ciently clear, but come with me to
fair loch Katrine aad I'll try to
impress it more deeply on your
mind. :
' Thank you, she returned ' but
I prefer quiet at present.'
So it was arranged to visit the
principal places renowned in history
or fiction. But why carry the
reader over thin well beaten track ?
who that has ever read the ran mor
tal Scott but would turn in disgust
from my poor descriptions ! I spare
myself, bumce it to say they saw
as Charlie said all the Lochs and
Bens.
' Well Katie,' said Charlie, ' as
this is our last day, would you not
like to take a last peep at the
Douglas' enchanted towers ?'
' I will go for a sail on the lake,'
she replied, but as for towers, I'm
afraid I should have to see them.
1 can say Charlie, but never whis
per it, that I've been somewhat dis
appointed in my "beautiful loch
Katrine." '
They rode in silence for some
distance, when turning suddenly
round a high hill, the beautiful,
calm, blue water of lake Katrine
spread open to their view. De
scending to the water's edge, they
found a small boat moored under
the overhanging bank. Taking their
seats Charlie gave several long, vig
orous strokes and they glided out
upon the clear mirror.
' This is what I call enchantment, V
exclaimed Katie. 1 imagine that
it was from that tall mountain s
brow that James Fits James first be
held the lovely Ellen for :
From the steep promontory gazed,
The stranger raptured and amazed.
(And what would he have said,
had he beheld the lovely Katie :
4 For ne'er did Grecian chisel trace,
A Nymph, a Naiad or a ' '
But alas! for the Grace, for
Charlie so intent on the image be
fore him saw not where he was gos
ing and in order to emphasize bis
words, gave one long stroke which
sent the little, boat flying against
an over-hanging tree. In her ex
citement the ' Naiad ' rose to her
feet and in the shook was thrown
out into her natural element. At
that instant a small skiff shot from
behind the mountain one cf the
two men who occupied this boat,
plunged beneath the water and
brought up the almost uteless torm
of Katie. With seme effort he
reached the shore and placing her
on the soft grass, began to use such
means as were at hand to restore her.
She soon opened her eyes and looks
ing wildly around, exclaimed,
Where am I, where is Charlie !'
aud with a shiver, ' please take me
home.' Charlie came up with the
other gentleman, she rose as she
heard his voice.
' Why Mr. Morton,' she said,
' where did you drop from V
'Just from Edinburgh said that
gentleman. Arriving soon after
yon left, we came directly on. Let
me present to you,' said he turning
to the other gentleman, ' my friend
and your deliverer, Mr. iZarbert,
Miss Kearney.'
Tm very happy to meet you
Mr. Harbert and very grateful for
your timely seryice.
'Don't speak of it. I'm most
. happy, to know that I've been of
service to Miss Kearney.' and he
looked into the dark depths cf
Katie s eyes as if he felt what he
said. Charlie saw that look and
going up to him whispered softly
' Oh ! beware of the eves of little
Katie Kearney,'
Ut course all the questions that
such a catastrophe can give rise to,
were asked by Mrs. Ivart, and
when they had been satisfactorily
asnwered, Katie felt entirely recov
ered. Mr. Harbert was presented as an
English friend of Mr. Morton's who
had been spending some weeks in
the North country.
lhat evening Katie came forth
in her brightest colors both of dress
and conversation, aad the evening
passed away gay as the marriasre
bell.
Look here friend Merton.' said
Mr. Harbert, ' where have your
heart and eyes been, that you have
not fallen a victim to this fair Amer
ican ?'
John Morton turned with a sad
smile playing about his mouth and
said :
' My eyes, I've been using to tho
fullest extent, as for my heart, I
have nons, it has belonged to Katie
Kearney for lo ! these many weeks.
I have come to Scotland to learn
my fate. If her answer is ' no,'
I shall bid farewell to merry En
nr..
land next week. But let me warn
you old boy, this fair country-wo
man or mine is very chilly in affairs
d'amour.'
' Alas ! my friend, your warning
comes too late.' Both remained si
lent, each too busy with his own
thoughts, to disturb the other.
The next day the whole party,
joined by the two gentlemen, left
to continue their tour through Eng
land. The third day- after, Mr.
Morton bid his friend a sad farewell
and with a silent pressure of the
hands they parted. Mr. Harbert
left soon after, asking permission to
join them on the continent.
Many happy weeks were passed
ia wandering over merry England
and the continent. Mrs. Avart's
health was so much improved that

' Readv Charlie ?' askedL Katie,
coming into the small sitting room
one evening, ready equipped for
sightseeing. But she stopped sud-
.S. xu6 BUO Btoppeusua-
ly, there was Charlie, stretched
on the lounge pale .. death,
denl
out
with hands claspod over his fore
head.
' What is it dear V cried Katie
running to him.
' Only a headache, he replied,
but you will have to excuse me
this evening, Katie, I don't think I
can possible go out.
And 1 shall stay to nurse you,
she said. So telling her sister she
would not go out Bhe took off her
hat and sat down to rub Charlie's
head. The magic of Katie's hand
was so great, that in a few seconds
Charlie s head was almost well.
' iZow is the dear old head now V
she asked.
' Every so much better,' said he
' but not near well enough for you
to step rubbing.'
She smiled, but continued her
nursing. After sometime she re
marked. 'I think it must be entirely well
now, so let s leave this close room
for the balcony. The cool breeze
will completely revive you.
So out on the balcony they acc
ordingly went, there to enjoy the
gay street panorama of the great
German capital. Charlie smiled in-
wardly, as be saw Katie by his side,
with nothing to interrupt them for
so long. As he came out in the
bright sunlight, he looked the very
picturo of health.
Where is vour headache now V
asked Katie with something like
distrust in her voice.
Gone glimmering,' replied he
with a happy independent twinkle
in his eye.
'I don t believe you had any
headache !' ehc answered a little
sharply. 'I'll wager you don't
enjoy my conversation much this
evening. &he was as good as ner
word, she began humming a light
song, while gazing down the street
and never a word did she utter. He
began pleading his excu8e3, she
took no notice at all ; he drew near
took her hand, she let it remain
quietly in his : then began that
ceaseless flow of sentiment, gener
ally called love, but she seemed
not to hear. She was literally
keeping her promise.
But at last he ceased speaking
and leaned back, as he did so there
fell at his feet a small, white cn
velope, which Katie had drawn
from her pocket with her hanker-
chief. An he stooped to pick it up,
he noticed a small head drawn on
it and saw that it was th exact
likeness of Mr. Harbert. Jh laid
it quietly in her lap, singing as he
did so :
" Oh ! Katie, Oh I Katie uont marry aoy
other,
You'y biak my heart and kill me dead,
Then you'll be hung for. murder."
She then turned angrily, What
do
Good evening, Miss Katie,' said
Mr. Harbert, stepping on the bal
cony. Katie rose hastily, dropping
a second time the letter. Mr. liar
bert stoeped to pick it up and saw
the head. And U, what a joyous
light illumined the depths of those
dark blue eyes ! Katie saw it, it
was the least featier. She blushed
scarlet aud niurtnuriug out some in
articulate welcome, suddenly enter,

sister and brother quiet personages
soon relieved her excited spirits and
going out, soon entered into a lively
conversation with Mr. Harbert,
joined soon after by Mr. and Mrs.
Avart. The evening passed away
very pleasantly. As Mr. Harbert
rose to leave he asktd the pleasure
of a ride with Katie next day. Of
course the request was granted, and
soon after all retired to rest. Char
lie to dream of Katie Kearney, sui
cides and murders, and Katie -woll
not of Charlie Grant."
During that ride next day Katie
was cool, very cool, silly girl, for
fear of showing her real feelings.
Mr. harbert returned to his En
glish home, saying in his heart no
more would he see cold Katie Kear

died when I was three years old.
I was thirteen years old when we
went away. The family then went
to Boston for eight years. My
father was a clergyman f the Orth
odox church in Litchrield. There
were six boys and four girls in tho
family. All my brothers were
clergymen. I went to Amherst
college in lodO, and went through
the graduating class and graduated
in 1834. I pursued my theological
studies at Lane Seminary. "I was
licensed to preach in 1834,"and gC

years; since then have been in

returning November. I had been
worn out preaching before the, . war,
and my friends advised this rest.
At first I refused, but I afterwards
went to England and thence to the
continent, returning to England in
September; while there 1 gave dis
courses on public nffairs in America,
in Manchester, Edinburg, and
other places. The number of com
municants of Plymouth church is
now about 2,500 or 3,000. It has:
been 2,000 for the last ten years.
I have conducted morning and even
ing services, and Pnday evening
meetings and social receptions m
the parlors of the church. I have
been connected with journalism ever
since I was in the pulpit. 1 was
on the New York Independent

the Christian Union. I became
editor of the Independent in the
fall of 1863, but was also acontrib.

Repudiation.
The Newbern Times need be in
no haste to class the Democratic
party of North Carolina as llepudi
ators. it is a construction lar too
much strained to put upon our ars
tide upon the settlement of the
State debt. The Democratic party
has fought the idea strenuously and
consistently. It came into power
pledged to save as much of tho
State's honor as escaped tho wreck
of Radical rule by applying what
was left of her property to the res
toration of her credit. Ihi3 ha3
been done as far as could be done,
and the terms for settlement are
now made and offered.
We know of what we speak, that
after a full investigation, tho pro
position made was a liberal ooe so
much so that no more could reason
ably be asked. If it is refused then
the alternative of repudiation pre-
sents itself, not a voluntary but an
enforced repudiation, enforced by
the unwillingness of creditors to
receive what the State in her pov
erty is only able to give. This i
an alternative which we believe is
a remoto one, for creditors recog
nize the willingness of tho State to
pay, while they also see its inability
to do so fully.
If this is repudiation, make the
most of it. It cannot be burdened
with that humiliation attendant
upon deliberate purpose.
Ihe only avowed repudiationists
that we know of are on the Republi
can side. It is said Hon. W. A.
Smith is ready to take the field on
fchat issue. Mr. Norment, of Rob
eson, in the House was open and
unqualified in its advocacy.
