It was daring the year following that of my leaving school, that I persuaded my acnt, Mrs. Jared Joneg, the wife of my guardian, with whom, since my early orphan age, I had resided, to invite Edith Glare, my best-loved school mate, to spend the winter with mo, and ao company me on my eutrauco into society. Mrs. Jones was a good ana tared woman, and very willing to indulge the favorite niece, whom she looked upon almost a her own child, The only hesitation she felf, as she de olared, was ia relation to the family and social position of Miss Glare. When the invitation was fairly dispatched, my aunt grew very anxious lest she might have made a false, move, but the reply partially reassured her. Edith would gladly accept the invitation to spend the winter with me, bnt she did not desire an introduction into New Yoik society. Thus far my aunt read, then paused, delighted. "Have her come, by all meaus7 she cried. "This is just the thing. It she is not eligible, it will be well that she docs not expeot to go out with us continually. If she should prove to be eligible, we can persuade her to go out occasionally, and thus enhance the effect of her presence.'' And thus it was that Edith Olare name to me We Bperit a very happy winter. ... . . Society had many attractions for mQm j uaj not tnen learned how hollow were Its pretentions, how vain its ceremonies. But I was , . , . . , , . 4IttU w uovwl lu""" 0i my time to Jbiaitn, ana to join her n tUa nt.anita Dua inrtaA tu t n the Pursuits she loved the im provement of her mind, and the completion ot certain branches of - aer eaucauon. She had not long been with me before she confided to me her m- tention of becoming a teacher ; and when I saw how conscientious was , . her preparation for this task, I felt euTQ of her sQCcess, and more fond an Prod of my friend than ever. I then learned for the first time that her parents were poor, and that they had done their utmost for her in providing her so good an ecU ncation. As a role, our schooL clothing had been plain, bat I saw now that her wardrobe had received few additions and was at no loss for a reason why she declined soci ety, I did, however, induce bor to go with me occasionally to some party or fashionable public resort. It was at a soiree, given by one of our friends, ' that Bandoiph Jameson first saw her. I have spoken of her beauty and grace before. Here, dressed in an exceedingly pretty dress, which my anut had presented her, ner charms were heightened by the unwonted excitement of the scene, and by the pleasure she was enjoying. She made a decided sen salioD, and thenceforward found herself unable to withdraw entirely from observation. She had many admirers, of whom Bandoiph Jameson was chief. He pursued her untiringly. He seemed to know by instinct, or by second sense, where she might bo foand at a civen time. Always a gentler man externals, he contrived never to prove obtrusive, yet never failed to be where bis services might be offered as aid or attendant. His devotion was not unrewarded. Edith Clare learned to love Ran dolph Jameson. - And so tue winter passed away. Tne blossotntiuie of love had not cotoe to me. I was still but a joy ous spectator iA othera' happiness. And I tiuly rejoiced m wnat l be-j lievtd to be the happiness ansl j good forruu id my fr'nd. Mre. Jared Jubro as leas s iu guiue. She pronounced the Jameo ao na aristocratic, and asserted that they would never be willing to re ceive a girl with no family or social prestigt $a the wifa of their ton, and that although he seemed mightily smitten nro, she did not elieve it would last, when he found that Edith was ; nobody. Alas ! she was right, expeiienced woman of the world ap. she was ; while I, in my romantio girlhood, was wrong. Bandoiph Jameson's love was not of the sort to bear strong testa. He was of the world, worldly, and valued its goods far abovo less intangible values. Beau ty, intelligence, vortb, were to him well in their way, but of small ac count nules set in the golden air cle of wealth, or illustrated by a famous nam'-. He followed Edith Clare to Ches tertleld, an ardent lover, impatient and unreasonable in his anxiety 10 be once more by her side, to sun himself in her smiles, to listen to the mnsio of her sweet voice. He returned a disgusted one, rejoicing that he had never committed him selt by a specific offer. This was a bitter experience ior Edith. Bat she was a brave girl and she bore her sorrows bravely. Her parents never kuew, or not till years bad worn away all traces of ch's early tiouble, how their child had loved the worthless young man who was devoid of love, honor, and even the commonest instinct of a noble heart Next year Jamoson married the showy daughter of a reputed mil lionaire, whose name was all soiled with ugly suspicion; and on the money of his wife he began a vis lious career that pointed to a de grading end, Edith no more turned aside into ilowery patbB, where for her only ihorns seemed to grow. In a little time I heard of her as pursuing her vocation, nobly and well. As years passed ou she rose euccessivelly in fame and position. At twenty-five nhe found herself . at the head of one of the most celebrated seminar ries for young ladies in the country, :rnsted and honored above most ot ler sex and profession. Established there, and at a con iuderable distance from the home ;hat had become mine, I did not .neet hex for ajlong time, though her praises often reached me, and I mew that her womanhood had am ply fulfilled the splendid promise of her joutb, and that she bad ceased to mourn the trials of her youthful days. I was quite sure of this (for there was no taint of falseness in her composition), when I learned that in her splendid maturity she had become the wife of a man al ready famous, and fitted to aspise to the highest position oar country offers. From her own lips I ?oon after learned that she wa& happy, for in her husband's unstained and noble character she had ample guaran. tees that her heart had not chosen amiss, and that before her lay a lot which only the inevitable and pro vidential ills of life could shadow. Years after, she met Bandoiph Jameson, who had become a bloat ed vagabond, through the induls gence of his degrading appetites ; and as she gazed upon the wretched creature her pity for him was min geld with thankfulness that she had escaped the degradation of be ing his wife. Nobody can doubt the genuine sympathy of these men for the far ming class, because they are prac tically of that class, and there is a great deal of difference between in both theory and practice and theory alone. In this section the prevail ing sentiment of the rank and file of the Alliance is against the Third party, There may be a few staunch advocates of it, bnt a large majority eppose it. Opposed to such a reckless, suicidal movement are President Marion Butler of the State Alliauce, Col. Wlinrtou Greei, Sir.

Green writes as follows : Faybtteviixe, SepL 11, '91. To the Farmers Alliance of N. C. : Brothers, as one of you, I venture to express opinion on a queatiou af fecting not only the good of the ors der, but the good of society aujji of the State, not for a day but for all time. Let it be premised, that I am in entire accord with you in all ration al and patriotic purposes looking to the betterment of our condition as a class. My membership is almost coeval with the iuception of the or der, aud was taken deliberately and under the conviction that coalition and mutual interchange of opinion ( n social and economic questions would inure to the amelioration of the agricultural masses. Especially that it would lead to a right conclu sion ou one of the most viral of questions affecting freemen Taxa tion. That opinion has undergone no change and is not likely to, so long as the original and proclaimed object 8 aimed at are observed in all i.anctity. These, however, ouce dis regarded, or the metes and bounds once overstept, it i, to my limited ken and forecast, franght with in calouble mischief to the fanning in c ommon with all other classes, call-, iogs and professions. Adopting the postulate of statesmen and historic aQ8 that love of liberty has ever been the preeminent trait of land owners, I address yon from that t tandpomt, assuming as correlative I bat kings, kaisers and tricksters i re the sole gainers by abatement t that inherent principle ; and of 1 hem all most dangerous the last, deliver us. good Lord, from over ;ealou8 frieude, especially when they come in this disguise. As is veil known, nonpartisacship aud freedom of thought in party mat ters was fundamentally inculcated ia our constitution and for a while religiously maintained. How is it row ! Tho tendency in certain cnartera to disregard it now is thought by many judicious friends tD be pernicious in the last degree ci8intti grating to the brotherhood, end dvnamitleal to nuity, good gov crnment aud liberty. Let us then cry hair, and counsel together, brothers, lest, perchance, that fatal blunder is committed. In the incipiency of the Alliance, and until quite recently no intimation was let fall of its resolving itself in to a third party. That was a purely after-thought, and one of the most questionable paternity. Judged by the inevitable result which would follow its adoption by any consider able offshoot of the Alliance, the motives of its projectors may well be impugned. African domination, a return to the dark disgraceful days ot reconstruction, the almoBi certain effect ; personal emolument, pecuniary or political, the actuating impulse of those who set it agoing. Brothers of the Alliance, are you prepared for the sequence, sure to follow, it your worthy organization sinks into a mere political machine to be run regardless of your true interest and sound state polity by solfieh schemers of the sort referred to? Are you willing to become a stepping stone for knaves and dem agogues in their mad reach for pow er? Are you ambitions to wear the dog collar of dogmatic and dictato rial leaders who go gunning on their own account ; or to take the ill con, coo'ed noeti iuua of chailatans and quack as an unfading panacea, a universal cure-all tor existing po?it. icil ills ?

That the idea of the third party, or to be more exacting, of splitting the Du.o;iai:o pr:y, which in our Statu probably makes up nine- tnntliR of the Alliance, should have bid birth in another political lati t ide, and beon indoctrinated in our niidst by teachers heretofore inimi cal to on r preconceived tenets ami line of thought, should at least 44 jive us pause. Lifelong Repub licans of recent importation or in e:antaueons conversion aro doubt ful leaders to follow aud naturally come uuder the heading of "sus p?ct8.,, Beware of such, tor sinister parpose and transparent is at the bottom. The movement took root iL a recent convention in which our State and in fact the entire South was virtually unrepresented, and which was composed mainly of the most radical elements of the North. Is such a body fit midwife to usher in a scheme affecting our well being tarnugb all time to comeT What was proposed t To formulate on the instant a substitute for all ante anient ideas on government, and to require all men and all parties un (isr penalty of boycott and anathe ma to fall down and worship their fttich. This modest assumption tcigbt well appall a congress of Pla- tos, Aristotlea and Bacons backed It? all the political acumen of a thousand centuries. Sound politic cd thought is rarely spasmodic, or ot sudden development. Admitted for argument, that isither of the two existing parties 313 reached that state of absolute purity and perfection which dreamV ers and visionaries see, or affect to soe, or affeot to see, in the near f a tire ; does it not, nevertheless, be hoove patriots to pin their faith to that one which nearest approaches that beatific but unattainable state by man or party, and to shun the one whose nearest approach there to is in empty promise or blatan profession ? It were an insult to your intelligence to enter upon t roof that the one has ever en croached upon the rights ot person cr of property aud to challenge res la tat ion that the other has repeat edly done it and tried to do it from i.8 ill starred birth to the immedi ate paesent. The first is coeva with the century, the last with civii strife. Choose ye between the two. As yon choose, so will probably fol low white or negro supremacy. Which will you have ? You have tried both. Wnich is most conducive to yourself respect, your manhood and material prog ress! Ot course no gcod Alliance man or good citiz n would deliber ately and with open eyes vote Af rica. If done indirectly and by roundabout pro- ess the re8poui. bility is none the less. It is safe to assume that none of the new par. ty syndicate anticipate the possi bility or its succe-s in the next re curring election. Why, then, 'their effort to make it a factor ? The conclusion is irresiatable, to pull down the white man aud to rehabilitate the negro m polttical sway for purpose- of their own. With the proverbial unity of the last on voting day, it requires no skilled mathematician to foretell the result, if twenty, or five aud twenty thousaud Alliaucemen can be induced to stultify themselves by going away on wild cat side is sues and acting with a so-called Third party, powerless for good, but potential for mischief.
