Susy was going to accompany her widowed and in- valid mother on a trip for- her health.. I As they reached the wharf and descended from the carriage, Susv's eves made themselves busy searching- for a wished-for face ; but it was nowhere to lie seen. The steamboat lay panting l and puffing, seem ingly iniaiient lo bo ' let l)ose. j Susy's mother, aided by the servant man whoa.ccompanied them, had already crossed the gangway which lay between the wharf and the boat,' and Susy, was reluctantly following, when the sound of a voice, behind her the very voice she had longed to hear startled ber. She turned to look round, and missing her 'jfooting, fell into the water. . ' '' -j; '. ' .-,! ' j . 'Another instant and Charles' had thrown off his coat, and calling out loudlj', "Tell the Captain not to allow the wheel to stir, and tb lower me a rope !" he sprang intp the water. - But Of her whom he was risking his life to save, j he -wasj unable to jperceive any trace, -j .f ''- ' I ii'1' ' , Judging that the current of, the river might have f carried her a little forward, hejswani around; the whVel, but still he saw her not, and despair seized his heart as he conjectured that she might be under the boat. lie strained his eyesi to' see through the water, and at length discerned, ar I below the surj face, what seemed the fend of a' floating garment lodged between the wheel and Ue rounded' bottom of the boat' I-': j '; l- 1 - ' ' ' If this were indeed the unfortunate girl, the least movement of the wheel must inevitably crush her, and Charles, iu his terror, fancied j it was already beginning to turn.

' At list, perceiving that! he was quite exhausted, and must inevitably, soon j let go his . hold on. the I wheel, iind then probably sink to rise no more, the captain judged it lest to run the risk of moving off, so that a small boat could be sent to' the rescue. The result of this hazardous experiment !was suc- cessful. Snsy was raised by he means of the rope' and a boat reached Charles in time to save him also, . Both sufferers were taken on ; board the steam boat which now moved off to make up for lost time: . And thus, when our hero regained his conscious-i hess, he found himself many miles from home. Of course his first anxious inquiry .was for Susy, and when informed that she was rapidly recovering, his happiness seemed complete, j lie showed jhis con tentment by falling into a deepj quiet sleep. I i About sunset a message came to him that Hiss B desired to see him. He found her lying on a sofa in the captain's state-room,1., which had been given up to her.

IMPERIALISM vs. REPUBLICANISM, j For three generations Republicanism in! America has been a satisfying, if not a uniform and brilliant success. It has produced ! a peculiar, civilization, one that has its mixture of virtues landi vices, but which is characteristic in this: that it can never ad mit .what is best or salutary in 'imperialism or monarchy, and that it is bound up in our present form of government. It is a civilization largely prosperous in a material sense ; one; in which the commercial element has been singularly developed, in which wealth has been! accumulated; lin which there have been great triumphs of organization and ot the management of industries, in jwhich a great financial system has been erected and the Pacific Railroad built, jind in which, instead, of indenting a continent as other countries, or reclaiming the margin of a wilderness, America has bound to Its car the breadth of a hemisphere! It is a civilization rich and powerful, but coarse, rapid and relentless; a civilization that has but little in common with the old sj'Steuis of Europe, that is the puculiar growth of republican 'institutions, of which "progress," material progress, is the watchword, and in which chivalry is a caricature, and the inspirations that create aristocracies and empires are j but dead and stagnant breaths, insupportable in ; the busy at mosphere of trade. ; ! J j I !, I 'II';-. - ' it". On the whole, the American people are; satisfied with thcirjlrw of government, whatever! may be their differences and contentions as to particular ad ministrations of it Of the present opposition of a monarchical party in our country or, as it is fash ionable and sonorous to style them. Imperialists (and we shall use the terms indifferently) we have no serious fears. The violence of its entry, and the slightness of its constitution, betray the phantom or the scarecrow. . We doubt its reality at the present moment. The assertion that j the idea of such a change in our government r baa" taken hold of the public mind, '.may, be ' nothing more than one of those exaggerated alarms of party to which we are accustomed in our usual politioal -controversies. The open publication of a journal in the interest of Imperialism may, after all, bean advertising dodge,r a scheme of notoriety and peace. And it would seem 'to be decisive of the sincerity of the present self -asserted party of Imperialists that it is ob viously and utterly illogical. "It has raised a de formed head. It has come before the public with out occasion and on a false pretence ; for 'if there is any aberation of our government at present, it is clearly to the accumulation of power in Congress rather than in the Executive to an oligarchy, not an empire. .: ' ! i. .. :' i We have no belief of any serious movement in the present condition of our public, affairs; towards a monarchy or an empire ; but if such was more at present than a political affectation or a mercenary sensation, we should feel no alarm. ' We should feel assured against any manifestations of such a party short of open violence,! 6imply because the spirit of our civilization, mean as it may be in some respects, yet powerful in its instincts, would reject any idea of Imperialism because, in short, it is impossible or inadmissable in Our present state of society. We have outlived by nearly a century the traditions of the bid Englisn monarchy; we have acquired since then a civilization and habit of so ciety, essential republican : and though i history affords us many instances ot revolution on account of the abuses and excesses ot rules, and resulting in the overthrow of administrations and dynasties, We are assured of its lesson that no nation eVer chances i radicaUyJUof . government -i ' , ? ,, . il L political and, social body Id eopporttbe chang. f- fu .ceaia1 txitiona ' n i w .trii of society.
