Mr. Evelyn was a widower with one son and one daughter the former a brave young fellow of six and twenty, heading a band of Royalist troops, the latter a beautiful girl of eighteen. It was the winter of 105 . The de t eisive victories of the Commonwealth had been achieved, and King Charles II. (for such, though without a throne, he was,) was a fugitive in his own kingdom. No one in fact knew where the unfortunate Prince was, save the the Evelyns and a few trustworthy ad ? herents of Charles. lie was at Panni stone Hall, disguised as a valet to young Evelynyand waiting to pass over into Scotland and thence to France. Under such circumstances, the Eve lyn family could not of course keep the season of Christmas in wonted fashion, and thus invite the prying eyes of friends and neierhbors. The old Squire, his son and daughter and the fugitive - - Prince formed the sole party gathered around the supper table on the Christ mas Eve, which was the date of this . story. Even then, so great was the precaution taken by Mr. Evelyn, that tne servants nau an Deen uisinisstti from their attendance, the Squire inti matin? that his son's servant (the dis- guisea King) would suffice for so small a party. Thus some degree of privacy and security had been obtained, and the little group, sitting over their after supnor wine, were discussing in low and anxious tones the probabilities of the King's future. i The King himself was, as well he might be, looking harrassed and ill, and reiving rather on the judgment of the old Squire to guide him. than possess ing any distinct plans of his own. The .fair girl, on a low stool at her father's feet, looked up Into his venerable face with a scarcely disguised weariness and solicitude. As for the young man, he appeared partly to listen to his father; and partly to be absorbed in some pri vate troubles of his own. The old Squire, with his calm, unruffled brow, and dignified white locks and head, was the only tranquil member of the ifroup. The KInMjM)ke. Ala, my kind bot," he said, "I four me I xievtr shall requite you for your loss of fortune on my behalf. An uncrowned King, deprived of the in heritance of his fathers, -has little in . deed with which to repay the fidelity of tnch staunch friends ; besides, were it known that you harbored me, your vetr Hftitself would be forfeited." t Xnmc It not, my Liege," replied the old man proudly. "My life has well nigh run Its course; besides, chil dren, fortune, and life itself, were all well bestowed could they be lost in the service of my lawful Sovereign. Is it . not so, children?" The young girl gently acquiesced her brother, still musing absently, also - Thanks, kind friends," said Charfes, much moved ; "it Is indeed an allevia tion of misfortune to find so much fidelity." ! : The Kin; was about to continue, when so furious a knocking was heard at the outer door, all four started and grew pule. Charles himself, assuming the position of servant, rose hastily from his peat, and stood behind the young Squire's chair. J In two minutes the old white-haired butler who was In the secret of the King's Indentlty rushed Into the apart- . ment, without ceremony, and In a state i of the greatest ierturbatlon. '- j Oh. sir. sir! Oh. vour MnUvtv. for- ; give me! The Itoundheads, the Round heads are here!" Speak quietly, Nicholas," said the old gentleman, endeavoring to subdue his own agitation. "Do I understand you that the soldiers of the Common wealth are here?" . Yes, sir; and with a search-warrant," said the old butler, sadly, j in .tears. Good Heaven!" exclaimed 3Ir. Evelyn, whilst his daughter claspxl her hands in terror, "what is to ; be done?" . ! They are even now entering the ;reat hall, sir. Not an Instant is to be ost" satd the butler. The old Squire seemed confounded by the suddenness of the calamity, when, to the surprise of every! ody, young Evelyn, who had been hitherto nbsorbed and moodv, started up, as if a brilliant idea hatf ocvurretl to him, seired the King's hand, and, using a gontle violence, disappeared with him through a concealed door, which lay behind tho tapestry. He led the fugitive Prince through corridor after corridor of the vast house, until they arrived at a -ult of apartments in the west wing. There he paused, and, drawing a small key from his pocket, opened a door which faced them; j Even In the extremity of his danger, the King started back amazed. ' The room within was exquisitely furnished after the fashion of the times, and hung with the richest blue and .white da mask. A small silver lamp, fed with fragrant oil, shed a soft, subdued glow over the luxurious apartment, and on a superb bedt beneath a silken canopy, a beautiful girl lay sleeping. . "Hesitate not, my Liege, my Sov ereign, I Implore," said the young man earnestly, seeing the King's embar rassment. And he gently pushed him into the chamber and locked the door after them. The fair sleeper, awakened by j the voices, started from her slumber in terror. Then, seeing that a second man accompanied young Evelyn,1 be came overwhelmed with confusion, and, hid her beautiful head beneath the coverlid. The young man advanced towards the bed. i "Pardon me, my dearest Dorothy, ho said, with reverential tenderness; "but this is no time for exacting what la assuredly due to you. A life, a crown, a throne, are In imminent peril. This is his Majesty King Charles' Then he hastily explained his plan. His young wife (for she was his wife) was to remain perfectly still, and mean while the King would be concealed at her feet, beneath the silken coverlid of U1U UCU.

SevJCwas the trial of the poor bride, not only from her natural mod esty, "but because she was of the Round head party (hence the reason of young Evelyn's concealing his ittaifriage from his father). Young Mistress (Evelyn uttered a Ibw wifely remonstrances, and then love for her husband prevail ed, and she consented, f Hardly had Charles been concealed in his place when the Roundhead offi cer and his soldiers (who had by this time interrogated the old Squire, and searched the lower portions! of the mansion) came thundering along the corridor, and knocked loudly at the door of young Evelyn's chamber, de manding instant admittance. The young man had hastily thrown off a portion of his clothes, so as to make it appear that he was in the act of retiring to rest, and in answer to the summons presented nimselfatthe door of his apartment. f To his surprise he recognized in the commanding officer of the Puritans an old schoolfellow. "Staughton!" he exclaimed, in amazement. "Yes, it is I, Phillip," said the young officer who had drawn his feword "but I must do my duty." "What Is your demand r" asked Ev- elyn. "To search these apartments." "Why. pray V" We have reason to believe that Charles Stuart, who styles j himself King of England, is concealed in here." "You cannot enter," returned Ev elyn, snatching up his sword and draw ing it. "I must and will." I "Listen, Staughton. Order your men to retire a little out of hearing." Staughton looked somewhat distrust ful. ; "You may trust my honor," said the other, proudly. The Roundhead officer gave the order, and his dozen followers retired a few paces, j "Staughton," said Evelyn, earnestly, and in a subdued voice, "I must trust in your honor." "Well?" was the laconic reply. "I am newly married," and, as he said this, the youmr Royalist jlaid his hand on the Crornwcllan's shoulder. "Ah !" "Yes; and my wife being party in politics I dared not father.". "What is all this to me?" j of your tell my "She is concealed in that room." Staughton started. "I must go in for all tlmt.'i he said doggedly. "You shall go in," said Eve yn, qui- M ctly, "but on one condition." ! and so "What is it?" "That ii 1 snow her to you satisfy you it is a woman and not Charles, who is concealed here, you will at once retire with your men. "I promise." "Come then," and young Evelv elvn re entered his chamber. j Staughton beckoned to Ids sergeant : "Wait here ten minutes, and Seomc no nearer the door. I am going to speak, with this gentleman. It. I do not re turn in that time, break open the door. "Yes captain," and the sergeant gave the military salute and retired.

A friend in the country has an obser vatorv on the top of his fine, elevated mansion, in which he has placed a telescope of jovcr enough to command a very extended view, and here in this perch, after dinner, he smokes his cigar and enjoys the panorama. Rome time since, he thoughtlessly directed the tube toward the house of a delightful young widow, living some miles away In the valley below, and was pleased to see her sitting on her door-step, seem ingly unemployed. Taking put his watch, he was about to take a mental memorandum of what he saw, and tell her of it when they met next ; j but the pleasant picture was so changed in a moment that he concluded to say noth ing atut it for the present. Another f r i en d , o f t h e s t er n er sex , j us 1 1 h e n d ro ve up, jumped from his carriage1, threw his arms where they were most wanted and kivsed her. The engagement was not long after announced ; but great caution is commendable in telescopic neighborhoods. Kissed and Died. In speakingof the recent flood, which was so disastrous in several sections of Virginia, the Lynchburg papers record the followingsad event : A mother add several little children were making their escape from a narrow neck of land which lies between the river James and the canal, when they were amazed to find that the bridge was already gone and that their only hope was! to cling on to an abutment of the bridge until the angry waves should subside. But as they stood there clinging to the abut ment the waters continued to rise higher and higher, while in he deep darkness they could hear the crashing of trees: mid the thunders of bridge timbers that were wildly dashing all around them. They had beeri in this condition for some time when the little girl felt that her strength whs gone, and with a wild shriek of terror she exclaimed: " Kiss me, mother, for I can't hold on any longer !" And with the warm pressure of that pother's lips upon her cheek, she was swept away and was seen no more. A sacramento telegraph office is rid ding itself of loafers.

' Dear Sir: Your letter of the J 3th inst., asking my aid to procure a speak or for a (freeley meeting at Hancock, was sent to me while l was in JNew EnglandJand I have been unable until now to atjknowledge its reception. I do r&Jt understand on what ground you considered ypurself authorized to address sjich a request to me.

Fourth Because he is associated, in relations more or less intimate, with v ; v vmei.-piuuuurerb ui nu city ii -j ii . . xnj.,. Juol j anDrenension that throusrh Ins com plicity; or his facile disposition the same systeirt jpf fraud and corruption which has disgraced the municipal govern ment df this city may be carried to more infamous extremes in the admin istration of the 'federal government; and, ?j . ; Fifthrf Becausq in the darkest hour of the country's jxril, when a traitor ous couibination had been formed to overthrbw the government, he openly f eunselled the cowardly policy of non- i resisranee anu an asquiescence in me dissolution of the1 Union, whenever the Cottoii IStates should make up their minds to go. ' . The cpaltioii which has been formed to prpinote his election is one of the 'most extraordinary in. the history of parties in respect both to the discord ant elements it ehi braces and the sur render bf principles it involves. The Cincinnati Convention, called to bring: before thp people important measures of reform, nominated him, greatly to the surprise of the whole country, knowing him, in regard to one of those measures, to be an impla cable. opponent nominated him, too, against the wishes and judgment of the chief promoters of the movement, who ! nvoritrvT hiir rnthor wifh nn ovnwpfl or aS ill-concealed disgust, which would be far more creditable 'to their feelings if the act of acceptance were not utterly irreconcilable with their principles. The jDemocmtlc Convention at Bai timore eridorsed and commended him to the support ofj their party not as the exponent of .any principles they have professed, or any measures they have advocated, but as a known and bitter Opponent of both the man who, perhaps, of all others has been the most maligt)aiit assailant of the Democracy, impeaching its integrity, traducing its nnotivesand vilifying its character. ' The adoption ofsuch a man as their candidate for the Chief Magistracy of the Upion is the most conspicuous abandonment of political principles known t6 party contests. It remains to be seen whether the great, body of the Democratic voters, and the true friends of reform, can be made parties to this unscrupulous coal ition between political leaders. .That General Grant has committed mistakes' his mast sincere friends ad mit. But if his errors had been tour fold more numerous he would, in my opinion, be a much better Chief Magis trate than Mr. Greeley, He has in that capacity done much for which he de serves the thanks of the country. Above all, he -has; kept it at peace, not withstanding the efforts of sensational journals and popularity-seeking politi cians to provoke hostilities with Spain on the question of Ctiba, and with Great Britain on the Alabama claims and the fisheries; j If, regardless tq these titles to the ap proval Of his fel law-citizens, and of his invaluable services during tne late civil war; they should iset him aside for Mr. Greeley': if the latter, a mere erratic politician, untired in any important public trust, should be 'elevated to the Chief Magistracy of the Union a Union which Would not; now exist if his coun sels had been followed and if the man who, of all others, has done the most to preserve it should be discarded for a successor so ill qualified and so unscru ulouslyi i nominated and 'sustained, the example would be most deplorable in its influence on all high motives to po litical action and justify the most pain ful forebodings as to the future.
