THE WIFE'S SURPRISE.
"Tie fact it, my dear Mrs. Ljndc,
rour Ghidrn ougbt not to , remaiti
In this , poisonous , citj . atmospherfl
a daj longer. Thoy are too delicate.
I regard it; as your imperative duty
to "end them out into the country.
Dr. Carson put up Lis ponderous
geld eye glasses as he spolie, with
the air of an autocrat whose slightest
wishes are law. Little Carry Lynde,
nestling on the sofa, held tight to her
mothers band, and regarded the
doctor with wide-opened blue eyes.
Mrs. Lynde sighed softly. , .
, "I doubt whether. Mr. Lynde ean
afford the expense of sending his
family into the country this season,
doctor."
""Afford it, ma'am! Afford it?
Why a!l the world knows how fast
your husband is making money, and
excuse me. Sire. Jornde, but I am
a plain man all tendencies to s par-
itimonions life ought to be checked
in the bud." ' v
Mrs. Lynde blushed on indignant
enmwn.
"Dr. Carson, I do not like to hear
that word applied to my husband.
The doctor took his hat. "The
powder at eleven perfectly quiet.
and my little patient will do very
well. , And remember what I recom
mend to you about the country 1" ,
Alter tue doctor bad taken bis de
parture Mrs. Lynde sat thinking on
wbst lie said.
;;CLarles is a poor man," she
mused', man who is depending
on bis practice as a lawyer for bis
daily bread. I kuew it When I mar
ried him nor bare I ever recrretted
leaving the luxury of Beech Grove
for his humbler, quieter home. As
for my Charles being parsimonious,
don't I know better?"
The rour glow was still mantling
Airs. Xjynde s cbAek at the bare taea,
when a cheery voice sounded on her
ear.
"Well, how is Carry to-night?"
"Charles, is it you? Ilow you
startled me!"
He was a frank, noble-looking
man, with, clear, dark eves,' and a
smile that brightened his whole face.
"Am I so startling? What does the
doctor say?" ,
"He says tue children must all go
into the country this summer with as
ut!e delay as possible.
Air. Ajynde slitrbtly contracted his
brows. .
I am not sure that we can afford
it, Alice.? .
That is what I thought myself
but, oh, Charles if their healths.
perhaps their lives, depends upon it.
ought we to henitate?" -
"jNo, I suppotuj not but, Alice,
its a terrible drain on a fellow's
pnrce jut now."
Alice L,vnde felt a cold cui;l at tier
heart was it possible that Dr. Car
son's words had a foundation in
truth? Was her husband becoming
a prey to Lbe terrible dragon of
avarice? Mr. Lvnde went ou:
"I suppose I must try and find
some farm houe or other where they
won't charge the children's weight
in gold. Alice, do you never eigh
after the . velvet lawns nnd shady
trees of Beech Grove and the old
stone house, with its cool verandahs,
and the summer harbor by the lake?"
"Aor said Airs. .Lynde, stoutly.
"Never, Alice?" - - .
Well sometimes I can't help
thinking how nice it. would be for
the children. I wonder if the man
who owns it has any children?"
A childless widower, I believe.
But all this has very little to do with
the question of your summer exile.
Of course, you'll need no extra ward
robe to go to a farm house, ' where-j
there are no faahtonable dames and
demoiselles to criticise your toilet."
''Carry and Lucy have quite out
trrowu their summer clothes.' ' and
CLarles and Frank have nothing at
all to wear. I suppose I might get
along, although I need a new travel
ing dress sadly." s rj.
"Try" to "dispense with it at pres
ent, that's a dear little puss." " -
"Charles," said Mrs. Lynde,
speaking op suddenly from the 'im
pulse of her' heart; "is not your
business prosperous jnst at present?"
"Prosperdnsf Yes." s
"Then why do yoa perpetually
urge upon - mo ' the necessity Lol
economy?" ; 1 " - ; -
; He colored a little she thought he
appeared somewhat confused at her
abrupt question. s ' ff - '
" "There are a great many outlets
for money, Alice, Of which you can
scarcely form an adequate idea.
Eight o'clock, is it, then I must be
ofLi Good night, my love I'll try
to be home before eleven.' B; .,1...; ,
Mrs. Lynde was sitting by Carry's
sofa at her sewing, the next day,
whom - Mws "PriscillAi Forbtss was
ushered in. .v;,i,.,.
; "Good morning, my dear bow's
Carry? Better, eh? ' Weir I am glad
to hear, it., ;Bethiah Lamb's, little
girl, was taken with the same symp
toms, and she didn't . live three days.:
I'd advise you to be careful though,
Alice there's always danger of a re.
lapse', and .no oj)e, can foretell the
consequences of a relapse. By the
way, wherp Las your, husband gone
"Is hfi pot at his office?
ot7rbe went out on the Brigham
railroad this morning, I saw him
go by as if life depended on the haste
he was making; and I thinks to my
self I'll just keep an eye on him and
seo where ho is going. So I followed
just as fast" as 1 could trot, and' just
IK time to see him spring on board
the train;1 'What he's going- for I
don't know, thinks I to myself again;
Alice pan tell me all about it." 1
"Probably he iaf looking for1 sum

Mrs." Lynde, coldly; Put 7 she reT

. "How did you know I was out of
town?" he asked a little sharply.
. "Miss Fnscilla 1' orbes saw , you
tart.'"- -' '
"I wish Miss Priscilla' Forbes
would be , kind enough to mind her
own business,"
Alice was silent for. a moment,
.t. t- -t 1 . . , ' i.i t . : '
"Did yon' find a suitable place for
the children? i ,
"No.", was the brief reply, ...
Alice inquired no further she felt
hurt and reseutful, and Charles paid
not attention to her silence. If he
could only have witnessed the pas
sionate . burst, of tears to which she
gave war by the couch of her little
one.
The farm house to which she and
her children were to be banished for
the summer, was not a particularly
inviting spot well shaded, however,
a stream of running water through
the grounds and plenty of fresh milk
and vegetables. - But Alice Lvnde
felt the Tack of cheerful and congeni
al society and pined secretly, even
while Frank and Carry and little
Lucy were erowintr sunburned and
rosv healtliv.
. "I wish Charles could spend more
or bis time here, thought she. And
it was scarcely to be wondered at
that she recurred sometimes with a
thrill of yearning to the old days
when she was an heiress, under the
spreading linden trees of Beech
Grove. For Charles Lynde's sake
she bod given ap her beautiful home
bad dared ber uncle s threat af
terwards carried relentlessly into
effect of disinheritance, bod sub
mitted to all the trials and evils
which must necessarily surround a
poor man's wife and now Charles
left her alone to amuse herself as
best she might.
So while the children grew fat and
rosy Alice grew tbin and pale.
"He will come to-night," she
thought one Saturday evening, as
she brushed ber glossy golden hair
ino the shining bonds he best liked,
and pat on bis favorite ' blue muslin
dress, with a leng turquoise pin in
the ribbons that set off the transpar
ent whiteness of ber throat. "Oh it
seems an age since I saw him last."
But instead of ber husband's pres
ence, the up train from Issw lork
brought ' only a note hurried and
brief: . . . j .......
"Dear Aucx: I cannot come ap
to-night business is too pressing.-
Love to the children. C. L."
The note fell from Alice's fingers
a sickening sensation came over her
heart.
And I had watched for him so
anxiously. Oh! ' caa it be possible
that be bas ceased - to love me? me
ho gavo up everything for his
saker
On . Monday a letter from Dr.
Carson was brought to Mrs. Lynde,
a letter inclosing a letter for ber
husband.
"Please give this to Mr. Lynde,"
wrote the doctor; "I was at bis of
fice twice on Saturday afternoon,
trying to find him; tut they were
closed and the clerk told me he had
gone into the country.. Tell him he's
a Iszy fellow to neglect Ins business
when it is tusking bira neb so fast.
Alice Lyutle read the words three
times over before she fairly took in
their whole meaning.
"He bas deceived me," she thought
It was not the convenient plea of
business that kept him away from
met Oh I Charles, Charles! aad has
it come to this?" j , r
She sat down, still clasping the
letter in her unconscious band, and
gazed vacantly but upon the sunny
landscape that lay before ber.
"II it were not for the children, if
it were not for my little ones, I would
go away and never look upon his
face more! He loves me no longer
the affection I mo blindly deemed my
own is transferred to some other ob
ject ana why should I care what
becomes of me? Only tbe'chtldren I"
And as blue eyed Carry ran up to
ber to ask ber some trilling question,
Mrs. Lynde drew the child closer to
ber heart and burst into tears. -
Mamma 1" exclaimed the astonished
little girl, "why do you cry? Are you
sick, mamma?' ! f- - - !V
"Sickl yes," sobbed poor Alice,
"I am sick of liviner. I am . sick at
heart, child." . ,
And the plentiful shower of tears
helped to relieve her overcharged
heart.: -; ' - : .-.
4 VI will endure it for the sake of
these little ones; I will suffer on and
try to be silent," thought Alice,
Eressing both hands over her aching
6som. ,J 1 'J; ;" '::'':: r o:
' "The next week Mr. Lynde was to
eome and: bring. bis family, home.
Alice looked forward to the day with
a sick anticipation a shrinking ex
pectation.' She longed ' for the hour
of their meeting3 and yet she dread
ed it.i tii.f.j s if
v la this nervous state of excitement
she came to the door,' leading little
Lucy as the carriage wheels grated
over the 1 stony country road,) and
stopping, before - the, old., fashioned
portieo. ; fM- j. f .. ,., , ;., ,
. . But Charlei was "not there only

an awkward attempt at politeness, as
he descended from the box, . t ,i '
t ,"If ,yoi please, j : ma'am. . Mr;
Lynde could not come but he'll be
there to meet you." "
' ' More neglect 1 Alice1 answered not
a word, but the baiida with which she
tied the blue ribbons of . Lucy's bat
trembled - sorely, and her. lip .would
quiver, in spite of the reftoj-ute little
white teeth that held it down!
, ; The little ones laughed and ' chat
ted,' and played in 'the carriage as it
tolled along, exclaiming loudly ; at
the variods objectanon - the, road.
Alice leaned back in, the corner, pale
and silent, seeiDg ' nothing but the
fantastic visions of hef own fevered
mind. Once or twice the idea cross

rather longer than she expected, but

pretty place 1" chorused the three ohil
dren at once. ' "There is a tall white
statue back of those fir trees, and

and oh, mamma, such beautiful beds

Alice, roused from her thoughts
for the instant, leaned forward and
gazed out of the window, ft t
' Surely there was something famil
iar in those green terraces, with
their nights of marble steps, in the
Doric columns of the majestio stone
piazza, before which tbecarriage sud
donly came to a halt.

looking vaguoly around her, "or is
this really Beech Grove?"

if she were moving through the un

"Charles, she whispered, growing
scarlet and pale alternately, "was it
this that occasioned your absence last
week?" .
I was determined tobrinir too
here, Alice, when I took you away
from that cramped little farm bousol
A be re have been countless delays,
innumerable difficulties but I ; have
conquered them all! Welcome to
your come, my . precious wife:
And as be took ber once more to
his heart Alice Lynda's happiness
was mingled wita the keenest pang
oi remorse she bad ever known.
Sitting in. the handsome, familar
rooms that evening, with the moon
light streaming through the stained
glass windows, ber children asleep
in the nursery that bad once been
hers, and Charles beside her, Alice
vowed herself the beet resolution a
wedded wife can make never, never

A PATRIOTIC: JtV'BV. j
Mr. Charles M. Lee was a wcll-knowo

prisoner, then a darc-dsvil boy of bino-

that followed Anthony Wsyoe, ia his

State Prison, for passing a contemptible

This was a poser. The chins of some
of the jury quivered, bat the foremen,
bluff farmer, put on an air which
seemed to say, that storming Stony

ine, but what had it to do with" passing

- During the Senatorial term of Aa
ron UurrlVUI and -1797 be was
one day driving a lonely country road
in Ulster county, New York, when
his horse cast a shoe, and be stopped
at a blacksmith t shop to have Jt re
placed. While waiting the comple
tion pf the operation he happened to
glance at tbe door or the rude build
ing, and saw there a vigorous and
ttutbful drawing of his vehicle and
team done in charcoal, which must
have been executed in a very few
minutes. He inquired for the artist,
and a ball-grown boy, dressed in
coarse garments, stepped forward
and said: "I did it sir.'f Burr en
tered Into conversation with the lad,
and soon ascertained that, though
wholly uneducated; be was yet unu
sually bright and intelligent; that he
was born and reared iri tbe neighbor
hood, and bad hired himself to tbe
blacksmith for six months;
Writing n few lines on a slip of pa
per, ISurr Handed it to bim, and re
marked: "My boy, you aro too smart
jellow to stay here all your hie.
If you ever want to change your em
ployment and see something of the
world, put ft Clean shirt in ybur pock
et, go to New York; and borne
straight to that Address;" . His innu
merable scbomes and duties of polit
est life soon drove the incident from
the Senator's mind,- and he was sur
prised one morning some months la
ter, while sitting at breakfast at bis
residence at Richmond Hill, when a
servant entered and delivered him a
small bundle which bad been brought
by a boy, who was waiting outside.
Opening the package he found with
in a clumsily made clean shirt.
lbiaking there must be a mistake.
he ordered the boy shown up, and in
moment there entered tht, black
smith's apprentice,! with the slip of
paper given him as a guide and in
troduction. . Burr gave bim R hearty
welcome, took bim into bis family,
directed nis education; procured bim

and bis daughter, which have been
made familiar to all through tbe

This portrait of Theedosia, next to
the idolized - original, Burr ' prized
more than all elite tbe world contain
ed. It bong iu bis drawing-room at
Richmond liill, and whenever Theo-
dosia's birthdav came round, after

From the death-chamber the portrait

The facility witb which Radicalism
can manufacture and invent false
hoods against the Sooth would be
astonishing, had we not become ac
customed to them. These falsehoods
and inventions .are multiplying witb
tbe greatest rapidity as tbe time for
another 'Presidential 'contest ap
proaches, and will be' made the pre-
text iot sucn additional letnslatton
and Presidential interference as will
secure the election to tbe Republican
party.
Already the Outraze Commtteo. or
moro properly,' the Outrageous Com
mittee, vi tongress nas made a re
port to tbat angnKt body, in which
the existence of 'a Eu-Klux organiza
tion in the ; South is asserted witb a
bold ness and assurance almost won
derful. Everybody who lives ia tbe
Sooth, or who has livedo here since
the close of the war, knows , that this
is an unmitigated. lie if our readers
will pardon us tbe expression for we
know of no ; other term bv which to
characterize tbe: reporte r? There is
not now, nor baa there been since
the cloae of the war, any organized
secret body of men in the Southern
States, combined for tho purpose of
enforcing or resisting the, laws, of
molestius anyo-called loyal citizens,
or of interfering witb , the right" and
privileges of any citizens or doss of
citizens.' If such a body existed, it
was among tbe llfldicala, and was or
ganized, aud sustained; by. them for
tho defeat of the Democratic . party
and for their own sustenance. We
make this assertion in the face of tbe
false and malicious report of the Out
rageous Committee, and it cam be sus
tained, by tbe best and truest men
and women of tbe South. , r , "
" It is true that there may bare been.
and were ia lawless localities, parties

committed here and there; Radical
thieves and scalawags may have been
denounced in no 1 measured terms,

spontaneous acts of individuals, act
ing for themselves acts" which were
not confined to the South, but com
mitted as welt in the loval North,
East, aud .Wetst, as well as in the reb
el South. i
And. for these things we are to be
denounced and punished simply be
cause tbe miserable farce of Radical
