Some of :')8 liepnblicans still are unrecon led. They spend their nights aud ,ys discussing what might have en. None, however, have been tter able to give an illustration Jicativo of their feelings .than Ije Wilshire, a former member i' Congress, " bat now engaged in ' a practice of law in this city. He ;ys that he finds consolation in lie phrase of an old darky preacher a once heard tell of down in Ar ansas. " The old fellow in one of 3 eermous had dwelt upon the 'athat whatever happened was r the best. No misfortune could ppen to one that was not for the jst, although it might be very try ' -g to the soul of faith to be always '.le to make the exact application f the lesson. There was one col ored friend in the congregation who rebelled at the theory, lie rose up i:i meeting and recited his olvjec ona at some length to the theory tat bad luck as well aa good was j be equally considered as a bless The preacher saw the revolt i the congregation and determined put it down with a thundering Iraination from the pulpit. Said with his most Impressive man r: "Bemember that wateber ppens to us in this wale ob tears s da result ob de direct act ob an scrupulous (inscrutable) Provi nce.". The Judge thinks that the etiun result was very much the oik of an inscrupulous Providence. Senator Edmunds has talked in gloomy way with friends about .0 ungrateful remarks that have een passed upon his conduct dnr ng the late election. He has vague ' 7 threatened not to be a candidate r re-election to the Senate. This a very prudent move upon the a t of St. Jerome. He has heard the movement against him in Vermont. 1: If the feeling there ould become very strong the uator will certainly not be a can late for re-election. He must vo given up something of his litical ambitions, as he is about to ild a very handsome bouse uere. 3 has paid $14,500 for the lot more m his parent small place is wortn 3 is too shrewd in noting the re It following public men building o handsome houses here to start t with a grand place for himself e had not at last uiscovereu mat ! personal unpopularity is enough stand as a bar to any future a.d- cement. He is as arbitrary with the Sen- over which he presides as any Ligogue with a country school, i his credit he has driven out all ' 3 cheap lobby isists who used i:ge about; the Senate cloak i and loll upon the sofas at the : of the Chamber. Some of the tors think that Edmunds goes . ;r. Jso one is permitted now nd in a card to a Senator until ' jck in the afternoon, and even i the Senate is adjourned no ii permitted to enter the Sen Chamber until twenty minutes elapsed. A .

A RAVEN' STORY. A boy who lived in the city of New York a great many years ago, once saw a number of children tor menting a raven, and out of pity ho paid them a shilling tor the bird, and took it home. The poor thing was very much hurt, but he nursed it to health, keeping it in his bed room, and feeding it. himself. As it grew better it objected to leaving him at any time, nud chose to perch upon his shoulder whenever he went anywhere. tit taught it to do mauy curious tricks play a sort of game ot cats cradle, pick out the notes of u tune with its bill on a piano, spell words with letter-blocks, and to talk bet ter and more to the point than any parrot. It was quite a delight to him to have this knowing bird on his shoulder while he was a boy, but as he became a niau, of course he did not wish to be conspicuous, or to bo looked on as an odd and eccentric person, and Sphinx wlncti was tlie ra eus name was generally left at home Often, however, she would escape and follow him, and several times appeared at church, where she con ducted herself in a very correct and serious manner, and said the re- sponses with the eougreijation, having perched herself too high to bo easily ejected, to wit, on the top ot the organ. When Alfred, her owner, was employed by a large business firm down, sho frequently appeared there and soon became a great favorite with everybody. On one occasion a drunken porter attacked Alfred violently, but Sphinx, at that mo ment perched on a chair back in the office, flew at him, aud so deter miuedly peeked at the brute's eyes that he tied in terror. Otherwise Alfred, being alone, young, slender and delicate, and the porter a man ot six teet tour, aud stout in pro portion, would have had a very poor chance ol escaping injury, In fact, Sphinx became so well known on the road between his master's house and place of busi ness that he otten perched nnmo lested on the roof of a stage which went that way, and got off at the proper street, like any other pas senger. One day, exactly how or why I do not know, it became Alfred's duty to take a large sum of money irom one point to another, and in doing so to cross what was called the Collect. It was a marshy spot, lying, I believe, where that queer Egyptian building,called the Tombs now stands, and greatly feared after nightlall. Allreu carried a pistol, but he was, as we have said, small and slight, and when in the middle of the Collect he was attacked by three men, he was powerless. He was bound and gagged, and as they led him away tho men threw cloak over him. lie could not pall out for lielp, and the constable who was passed by the group thought the young man in the cloak intoxi cated. Only one living thing knew what had happened. Sphinx, who had followed him, as she often did with' out his knowledge, flew several times into the men's faces, and only left them at the door into which they rushed him, cursing the black bird, who seemed to them demo niac. - Once within the house, they dragged him to a room, in which was only one high window, and tied him to a ring in the floor. The poor boy, who was distracted with helpless misery, begged them to tell him why, since they could have taken the money without tak ing him, they had done so. One of them coolly replied from behind his mask that they did it in order that he should be suspected of the theft. "While they search lor j ou, we can get away to Europe," he said. "Murder is" dangerous. We shan't kill you. Some one will feed you every day. Meanwhile, as this has been a private madhouse, 'yon will do nothing by making a noise even if it is heard. A madman shrieked in ono of these rooms ten years be fore he died.". , r ' - - -. Left to himself, the poor boy al most lost his own senses., , The grief of his parent would be terrible; and that his employer! should think him dishonest was be yond all hearing. ; The loas of lib erty was much fa it-cjrj rj fc.e implored his persecutors to set him j free. . They only laughed at him. They left him alone. Shortly after a man brought him bread and cheese, and some beer, and unbind ing his right baud, held a pistol to his temple while be swallowed some of the food; rebindinghim when he declared that he could eat no more. Left to himself, he had relapsed into maddening misery, when a low cm fell on his ear, and looking up, he saw in the patch of moonlight that fell upon the wall through the window high above his head, the shadow of a bird. --.-A A., ' He looked up. The bird had en ten d through a broken pane, and stood on the window-sill. A thrill of hope entered his soul. lie called "Sphinx' and the winged creature dropped through the air toward him. It was his raven. She showed every sign of affection and it comforted him to have her nestle against his neck as he sank to sleep. lie talked to her as though she had been a human being, and she repeated her cry of: "Poor Alfred 1 Poor Alfred I" piteous'y, and that other with which she used to greet his coming: "Alfreds here! Herb's Alfred !" but with the un locking of the door she flew away, perched ou the window-sill and finally vanished. She went straight to the ottice where Alfred's disappearance was jut.t discovered, and perched on the dc-; ; k of the head ot the estabiisu m nt. Ho was a fine old Quaker with piick observation, and when he looked at her, he saw a cut upon tier neck aud some ruffling of her leathers. The bird had had an ad venture oi some sort. Sue was trembling, and seemed to desire linn to do something, lunany sue flew to a table, and took from it bis hat. It was a trick Alfred had taught her. When he put it on his head, she hopped to the floor, aud hoiiped on, looking back, saying, "follow me," as plainly as a dog does. The old Quaker gentleman obey ei, and tne mru lea mm turougn the public streets, until she reached . m 1 a 1 ill a low building that sat far back in what was once a garden, now a wilderness of sunflowers and other strong coarse weeds. Up the path of this deserted place sho hopped, passing a cistern full ol ill-smelling water and a broken blue pump Boards were nailed across the porch It had the air of an empty house, but Sphnix, flying up to the sill of a queer little window, with a broken sash, looked down and screamed in heartrending tones: "Poor Alfred! Here's Alfred P o o o-o r Alfred! Here's Alfred," until the street rang. There was not, the old gentleman used to say, the least doubt in his miud as to the fact that Alfred was in the building. He sat down on the pump-box, and calling a small buy, sent him to the nearest magis tiate with a note, written on a torn loaf of his pocket-book. Meanwhile, he would not leave his post. The house seemed de serted, but about noon a man opened the gate and came in .with a basket in his hand. He did not see the Quaker gentleman, bnt going to a spot concealed from the street by the rank foliage, began to unlock the padlock of a' cellar, door. At this instant the Quaker called to him: "Do you like here, friend!" "No," said the man. "I only come in here to eat my dinner. I'm a poor working-man. The house is empty." "Don't go away then' said the Quaker. "I am a man ot peace; but thee must sit down and be quiet for a while, or I may make thee in comfortable." The man laughed uneasily. "There used to be a crazy man here," ho said. "Becms to me you're another." "Poor Alfred! Alfred's here!" shrieked the raven from the window The man uttered a curse, and dashed . toward the street. .The Quaker caught him by the arm, and at i hat moment the help for which he bad sent arrived. The house was entered, Alfred found tied to the floor, andliberated to his unspeakable joy; and through his description of the men, and the confessions ot their accomplice, they were secured before they could make, away with their booty. Sphinx had saved her master's life, perhaps, as well as his repnta thin, :for they were desperate men who had him in their power. r He rewarded her by an ardent aflection: and it lasted all his life for she outlived him. When shed died, she was believed to be ninety years old, and her black form, care fully stuffed and protected by a glass case, is still in the possession of a lady of the family. ; Upon theped estai ot the case is engraved, in letters of gold, her name, Sphinx; aud it is claimed that her brain is four times aa large as that of any ordinary craven. That, however, may be the doingof the taxidermist. A'. Y. Ledger, : Tone up the system by the use of Ayer'a Sarsaparlila.
