THE HEAVY BURDEN.
"Rather a heavy burden, isn't it, ra y
boy?"
Clarence Spencer, to whom the
words had been addressed, turned
from his ledger and looked at the
speaker. Clarence was a young man
not mors than five and twenty
and was book-keeper for Mr.. Solo
mon Wardle. It was Solomon War
die, a pleasant-faced, keen eyed man
of fifty, who had spoken.
A heavy burden, isn t it Clareuccr'
the merchaut repeated.
And still the young man was silent.
His look indicated that he did not
comprehend. He had been for some
time benuinsf ever the leuger, wun
his thoughts far away; and that his
thoughts were not pleasant one, was
evident enough from the gloom upon
his handsome face.
"My dear boy, tho burden is not
only heavy now, but it will grow
heavier and heavier the longer you
carrv it."
"Mr. Wardle, I do not comprehend
you."
"Ah, Clarence:7'
fcI certainly do not."
"Didn't I call at your houso fof you
this morning!'"
Clarence nodded assent.
"And didn't I hear and see enough
to reveal to me the burden that you
took with you this morning when you
leltr 1 oq must remember, my boy,
that I am older than you are, and that
I have been through the mill, -xou
find your burden heavy; and I have
no doubt that Sarah's heart is as heavy
ladened as your own."
And then Clarence Spencer under
stood; and the morning scene was
present with him as it had been pres
ent with him since leaving home. On
that morning he had had a dispute
with his wife. It had occured at the
breakfast table. There is no need of
reproducing the scene. Suffice it to
6av that it had come from mere noth
ing, and had grown to a cause of an-
eir a I V
ger. i lie nrst bad been a loot ana a
tone; then a flash of impatience; then
a raising of the voice: then another
look: the voice rose higher; reason
was unhinged; passion gained sway;
and the twain lost sight ol the warm
enduring love that lay smitten and
aching down deep in their hearts, and
left for the time only the passing tor
nado. And Clarence remembered
that Mr. Wardle had entered his
house, aud had caught a sign of the
storm.
"Honestly, Clarence, isn't it a heavy
and thankless burden?"
The book-keener knew that his em
ployer was his friend, and that he was
a true-hearted Christian man, and af
ter a brief pause, he auswered:
"les, Jlr. Wardle, it is a neavy
burden."
The merchant smiled, and sat down.
His face beamed w'rth goodness, and
an earnest light was in his calm blue
eye.
"Aly boy, 1 ra going to venture up
on a bit ol lathcrly counsel. 1 hope
I shall not offend."
"Not at all," said Clarence.
He winced a little, as though the
probing gave him new pain.
"in the first place, pursued the old
man, witn a quiver ot emotion in bis
voice, "do you love your wife?'
Love her?"
"That is enough. I know that you
do love her."
"Oh! 31r. Wardle, I I"
"You love her as well as you did
when you married her?"
"Better: better! 1 love her more
and more!"
"And do you think she loves you in
return?"
"Loves me in return?"
"Aye, whatdoyou think about it?"
"I know it."
"You know she loves you?"
"Yes."
"And you know that deep down in
her heart she holds your love a most
sacred treasure?"
"Yes, I know it."
"Then you must admit that the
trouble of this morning came from
no ill-feeling at heart?"
"Of course not."
"It was but a surface squall, for
which you are very sorry?"
A moment's hesitation, and then
"Yes, yes, I am heartily sorry."
"Jow mark me, Clarence, and an
swer honestly: Don't you think your
wife is as sorry as you are?"
"I cannot doubt it."
"Is she not probably, in the seclu
sion of her home, suffering more keen
ly than you are?"
"I doubt that, Mr. Wardle. At all
events, I hope she may not be suffer
ing more."
"Very well. Let that pass. You
know she is bearing her part of the
burden?"
"Yes I know that."
"And now, my boy, do you realize
where the heaviest part of the burden
is lodged?"
Clarence locked upon his interlocu
tor wonderingly.
"If the storm bad all blown over,
and you knew that the sun would
shine when you next entered 'your
home, you would not feel ao un
happily?" Cla-renoe assented. (
-But," continued Wardle,'"you fear
there will be gloom in our home
when you return!"
The young man bowecT his head as
5ie murmured an affirmative.
"Because," the merchant added,
with a touch of paternal sternness in
his tone, "you are reajjlved to carry it
there." ,
. Clarence looked ujp in surprise.
"i l carry it?
"Aye you havethe burden in your
heart, and you mean to carry it home.
Remember, my y hoy, : I have been
there, and I knoivallaboHt U X have
been very foolisi in my lifetime and
I have suffered,; I suffered until I dis
covered my foLJy,.and then I resolved
to suffer no mre. Upon looking the
matter squarely and. honestly in the
face, I found tpat the burden which
had so galled in had been self-imposed.
Of course such burdens can be
thrown off. Now you have resolved
that you will go homo with a heavy
heart aud a dark face. You have no
hope that your wif will meet you
with a smilo. And why? becauso you
know that she has no particular cause
for smiling. You know that her heart
is burdened with tho samo affliction
which gives you so much unrest.
And so you are fully assured that you
are to fiud your homo shrouded in
gloom. And, furthermore, you don't
know when that gloom will depart
and when tho blessed sunshine of iovo
will burst in again. And why don't
you know? Becauso it is not now in
your heart to sweep tho cloud away.
You can say to yourself 'I can stand
it as long as she can.' Am I not
right?"
Clarence did not answer in words.
"I know I am right," pursued tho
merchant; "and very likely your wifo
is saying to herself the same thing.
So your hope of sunshiuu does not
rest upon your willingness to forgive,
but upon the inability to bear tho bur
den. By and by it will happen, art it
has happened before, that one of the
twain will surrender from exhaustion;
and it will be likely to bo tho weaker
party. Then thero will bo a collapse
and a reconciliation. Generally tho
wife fails first beueath the galling
burden, because her love is keenest
and most sensitive. Tho husband, in
such a case, acts tha part of a coward.
When ho might, with a breath, blow
the cold away, he cringes and cowers
until the wile is forced to let the kiiu
light in through her breaking heart."
Clarence listened, and was troubled.
He wan not a tool, uor was ho a liar.
During tho sileuco that followed he
reflected upon tlio past, aud ho called
to mind scenes just such as Mr. War
dle had depicted. And this brought
him to the rememberauce of how he
had semi his wife weep when she had
failed and sank beneath the heavy
burden, and how often she had sob
bed upon his bosom in grief fur the
error.
The merchant read tfts yamm man's
thoughts: and after a time necrose
and touched him upon the arm.
"Clarence, suppose you were to put
on your hat and go home cow. Sup
pose you should think, on the way.
only of the love and blessing that
might be; and, with this thought, you
should enter vour cottage with a
smile upou vour face; and you uhouM
put your arms around vour wife's
neck, and kiss her, and softly say to
her, 'My darling, I have corne to throw
down the burden I took aw ay witr
roe this morning. It is greater than I
can bear, suppose you were to uo
this, would your wife repulse you?"
"Uenulse me?"
"Ah, my boy, you echo my words
with an amazement which shows that
vou understand me. Now sir, have
you the courage to try the experi
ment? Dare you be so much of a roan?
IJare you thus try to imitate your
Divine Teacher? Or do vou fear to
let vour dear wifo know how mucl
you love her? Do you fear that she
Mould esteem and respect you the
less for the deed? Tell me. Do vou
think the cloud of unhappiuess might
thus be banished' I), Clarence, it you
would but try?"
Sarah Spencer had finished her
work in the kitchen, and in the cham
bcrs, and sat down with her sewing
in her lap. But she could not ply her
needle. Her heart was heavy and
sad, and tears were in her eves.
Presently she heard the front door
open, and a step m the hall. Cer
tainly she knew that step! Yes her
husband entered. And a smile was
upon his face. She saw it through
her gathering tears, and her heavy
heart leaned up. And he came and
put his arm around her neck, and kiss
ed her and he said to her in broken
accents
"Darling, I have come home to
throw down the burden I took away
with me this morning. It is more
than I can bear!"
And 6he, trying to speak, pillowed
her head upon his bosom and sobbed
and wept like a child.
Oh, could he forgive her? His com
ing with the blessed offering had
thrown the burden of reproaches back
upon herself. She saw him noble and
generous, and she worshipped him.
But Clarence would not allow her
to take aU the blame. lie must share
that.
"We will share it so evenly," he
said,,"lhat its weight shall be felt no
more. And now, my darling, wo will
be happy.'
"Always!"
Mr. Wardle had no need, when
Clarence returned to the store, to ask
the result. He could read it in the
young man s
brimming
eye, and in
his joy inspired face
It was a year after this and Clar
ence Spencer had become a partner
in the house that Mr. Wardle, by
accident, referred to the events of
that gloomy morning,
"Ah," said Clarence, with a swell
ing bosom, "that was the most bless
ed lesson I ever received. My wife
knows who gave it to me,"
"And it serves you yet, my boy?"
"Aye, and it will serve us while we
live. We have none of those old
burdens of anger to bear now. They
cannot find lodgment with us. The
flash and the jar may come, as in oth
days for we are but human, you
know but the heart which has firmly
resolved not to give an abiding place
to the ill-feeling, will not be called
upon to entertain it. Sometimes we
are foolish; but we laugh at our folly
when we see it, and throw it off; we
do not nurse it until it becomes a
burden," ,

Following is tho platform adopted
by the National Republican Conven
tion :
"The Republican party of the
United Stales, Assembled in National
Convention in the city of 1 hiladel
phia on the 5th and tith days of June,
1872, again declares its faith and ap
peals to its history, ami announces its
position upon the questions bctoro tho
country, First, during eleven years
supremacy it hits accepted with grand
courugo tho solemn duties of the time;
it has suppressed A gigantic rebellion,
emancipated four millions of slaves,
decreed equal citizenship to all, and
established universal suffrage. It has
exhibited unparalleled magnanimity;
has criminally punished no man lor
political offences, aud has warmly
welcomed all who have proved their
loyalty by opening the laws and deal
ing justly with their neighbors.
xi lias imuuieu u policy towaru tue
Indians. Tho Pacific Railroad aud
Oilier vast enterprises have been geu
erously aided und suceesHlully con
ducted, the public hinds freely given
to actual seiners, immigration pro
tected and encouraged, and a full
acknowledgment of naturalized citi
zens' rights secured from Kuropean
Power in form. The national credit
has been sustained under the most ex
traordinary burdens and new bonds
negotiated at lower rates, and the
revenues have been carefully collect
ed and honestly applied. Despite the
annual largo reductions from rates of
taxations, tho public debt has been re
duced during Grant's Presidency at
the rate of one hundred million dol
lars a year; a great financial crisis has
been averted, and peace and plenty
prevail throughout the land.
Menacing foreign difficulties have
been peacefully and honorably com
promised, aud the honor and power
of the ualiou kept high throughout tho
world.
This glorious record of the past is
the party s best pledge lor the tuiurc.
e believe that the pcoplu wilt not
intrust tho Government to any party
or combination of men composed of
those who have restated every step in
this beneficial progres.i.
Secoud Complete liberty and ex
act equality to tho enjoyment ot all
civil, political and public rights
should be established aud effectually
maintained ihroughout tho Union by
efficient and appropriate State and
Federal legislation. Neither the law
nor its administration should admit of
any discrimination in resptct to citi
zens by reason of race, creed, color or
previous condition of servitude.
Third 'Vhu recent amendments to
the National Constitution should be
cordially sustained, becuuso they arc
right, not merely tolerated because
they are law, and should bo earned
out according to their spirit of appro
priale legislation, the enforcement ot
which can be salely trusted only to
the party that secured the amend
ments. Fourth The National Govern
ment should seek to maintain an bou-
orablu peace with all nations, protect
ing its citizens every where and svin
paihieiiig. with all people who slrive
lor greater liberty.
Fifth Any system of civil ser
vice under which the subordinate po
sitions of Government are considered
rewards for mere party zeal, is fatally
demoralizing, and we therefore favor
a reform of the system by laws which
abolish the evils ot patronage and
make honesty, efficiency and fidelity
essential qualifications for public po
sition without practically creating a
life tenure of office.
Sixth Wo are opposed to further
grants of public lands to corporations
aud monopolies, and demand that the
national domain be set apart for the
people.
Seventh -The annual revenue, after
paying current debts, should furnish a
moderate balance for a reduction of
the principal of the public debt, and
the revenue, except so much as may
be derived from a tax on tobacco and
liquors, be raised by duties on im
portations, the arrangement of which
should be adjusted to aid in securing
renumcrative wages to laborers and
promote the industries, growth and
prosperity ot the whole country.
Eighth We hold in undying honor
the soldiers and sailors whose valor
saved f he Union. Their pensions are
a sacred debt ot the nation, and the
widows and orphans of those who
died for their country, are entitled to
tho care of a generous and gratified
eople. We favor such additional
egislation as will extend the bounty
of the Government to soldiers and
sailors who were honorably discharg
ed, and who, in time of duty, became
disabled, without regard to the length
of service or cause ot such discharge.
Ninth The doctrine ot Great. Brit
ain and other European powers con
cerning allegiance, "a subject always
a subject, having at last through the
efforts ot the Republican partv been
abandoned and tue American idea ot
individuals being free to transfer their
allegiance having been accepted by
European nations, it is the duty of our
Government to guard "with jealous
care the rights of adopted citizens
against the assumption ot unauthor
ized claims by their former Govern
ments, and we urge the continued and
careful encouragement aud protection
of voluntary emigration.
Tenth The franking privilege
ought to be abolished.
Eleventh Among the questions
whhth press for attention is that
which concerns the relation of -capital
and labor, anl the Republican party
recognize the duty of so shaping legis'
lation as to secure full protection and
ample field for capital and for labor,
to create for capital the largest op
portunities and a just share of mu
tual' profits for these two great ser
vants of civilization;
Twelfth We hold that Congress
and the' President have only fulfilled
an important duty in- their measures
for the suppression of violent and
reasonable organizations in certain
lately rebellious regions, aud for the
protection of the ballot; and, there
fore) they are entitled to tho thanks
of the nution.
Thirteenth Wo denounce tho re
pudiation of publio debts, in any form
or disguise, as a national curse. We
witness with pride the reduction of tho
principal of tho debt, and of tho rates
of interest upon the balance, and
confidently expect that our excellent
national currency will be pcrfucted
by the speedy resumption ol specie
puyment.
fourteenth Ihe Republican party
is mindful of its obligation to the
loyal women of America tor their no
ble devotion to the cause of freedom.
Their admission to usefulness is re
ceived with satisfaction, and honest
demands ot auy class of citizens for
additional rights should be treated
with respectful consideration.
Fifteenth Wo heartily annrovo of
the action of Congress in the Rebel
lion, and rejoice in the growth of
peace und lratcrual feeling through
out tho land.
Sixteeiith--The Republican party
propose to inspect the rights reserved
by the people to themselves as care
fully as the powers delegated by
theirt to the State and Territorial
Governments. It disapproves of as
sent to Constitutional laws for the
purpose of removing evils by interfer
ence with rights not surrendered by
tho people to either Statu or National
Governments.
Seventeenth It is tho duty of the
General Government to adopt such
measures as will tend to encourage
American commerce and ship building.
Kightuctilh We believe that the
modest patriotism, tho earnest, pur
pose, sound judgment, practical wis
dom, incorruptible integrity and illus
trious services of C S. Grant, have
commended him to the heart of the
American people, and with him at
our head wo start to-day on our new
march to victory.
LAIUA U. FA I It.
THE TllIAL TO TAKE PLACE OX THE 2Ub
INSTANT.
Mrs. Fair appeared in Court c-ariy
yeMterday. She was looking pale
and worn, but seemed, iu unusually
good spirits, riiio was escorted to a
seat between her counsel and at once
entered into an animated conversa
tion with Mr. Curtis. She wore a
magnificent black silk walking suit,
elaborately trimmed with silk fringe
aud satin piping, laid on in rows and
fastened with small satin buttons.
Her hat was a bluck straw, very fine,
and handsomely trimmed with jet
and spray, the whole being covered
with a bluck illusion veil thrown over
the face and caught behind with au
elegant jet pin. Black kid gloves
and a pair of jet bracelets, completed
her attire.
THE llOIJEWtAK.
She laughed and chatted gaily with
her counsel and toyed with her little
black fan iu tho easiest and most
graceful way. A wandering Bohe
mian who strolled into the Comt
room, and directly in front of her,
received a graceful bow of recogni
tion and a pleasant shake of the hand.
Pleased at the notice, the Bohemian
at once became one of the group.
The animated conversation of the
quartette was interrupted by the
voice of the Judge. Tue two coun
sel looked piercingly at tho bench.
Mrs. Fair dropped her eyes, but her
ears were strained to catch every
word. The wandering Bohemian
got. out his note-book.
THE JUDGE'S PECISIOM.
"In the case of the People against
Laura D. Fair, a motion has been
made to remove the trial of the case
to another Court. The motion is
supported by an affidavit from Mrs.
Fair setting forth that in her opinion
it will be impossible to have a fair
and impartial trial, in this city because
of the hostile feelings which she
alleges has been engendered by cer
tain newspaper articles and other
causes. There is, in the opinion of
the Court no proof outside of Mrs.
Fair's affidavit, that her fears are well
grounded.
"The motion for a change of venue
must, therefore, be denied. I regret
this all the more from the fact that
the trial must take place in this
Court. I would gladly bo relieved
of the duty it imposes upon me.
But the motion must be denied. The
trial is set for the 21th instant, and
the Clerk will issue a venire for two
hundred jurorsi Tho prisoner will
be remanded into the custody of the
Sheriff."
During the delivery of the opinion
a flush spread itself over Mrs. Fair's
face, but she gave no other sign of
disappointment. After a moment's
consultation with her counsel, the
Deputy Sheriff escorted her back to
her dreary home.

Horace Greeley was born in Am
herst, New Hampshire, Feb. U, 1811.
His father, Zaccbeus Greeley, was a
farmer. His childhood wa charac
terized by eagerness, as well as apti
tude in tho acquisition of knowledge,
fondness for study rather than play,
and a habit of closely scrutinizing
whutever phenomena camo in his
way. He was scarcely ten years old
before he bad read, ehiclly by the
light of pine knots, every readable
book accessible within seven miles of
his father's house. His delight in
books led him, while vet a child, to
the determinittlon to be a printer. In
1821, the family removed to West
huveu, Vermont, where for five years
he assisted his father in his labors as
a farmer, at the same time eagerly
availing himself of every opportuni
ty for reading and study. In the
spring of 182C, he entered the office
of the Northern fpnciutur, at East
Pultuey, Vermont, as an apprentice
to the art of printing. He speedily
became an expert workman, while he
availed hiuiaolf of the peculiar facil
ities for mental improvement which a
printing office ever uflords. He be
came the best workman in tha office,
and sometimes rendered important
assistance in editing the paper.
Iu June, 18.')U, w hen he was in his
twentieth year, his apprenticeship
was suddenly terminated by the dis
continuance of the Northern fyecta
tvr, aud the breaking up of the es
tablishment at East Pultney. His
knowledge of political statistics, of
party movements and their leaders
was so cxteuivf , that as young us he
was, he was regarded as an authort
ty iu such matters. His parents were
now residing in i,ne county, 1'enu
sylvauia. After spending u few weeks
with them, he worked as a journey
mtiu for a short time in Jamestown,
and Lodi, N. Y., and subsequently
for a somewhat longer period at Erie,
Pennsylvania.
Iu August, 1831, he went to New
York City with a scanty wardrobe,
and $10 in bis pocket, in nuest of
employment, which he soon obtained.
lie worked as a journeyman, iu sev
eral different offices till the 1st of
January, 1833, when he commeuced
the pru.Ung business for bimseli. eu
teriug into partnership with Mr.
Francis Story. The firm of Greeley
& Story were the printers of Dr
Sheppurd s Mummy J'ot, the first
penny daily ever published in the
world. This paper foiled, however,
in less than three weeks, and the
hrm ol ureeley a fttory, at the expi
ration of six months was dissolved
by the death of the jenior partner.
Mr, Greeley afterward took fcr his
partners Mr. Jonas Winchester, and
Mr. E. Sibbett, and the business was
contiuued under the name of Gree
ley &. Co. The New Yorker, a week
ly paper, oi wmcn air. ureeley was
the editor, was commenced by this
firm on the 22d day of March, 1834
It was a political, literary and fomilv
newspaper, and in the department of
political slatitiscs especially it was re
garded by all parties as authority.
its circulation lor mat period was
extensive, but owing to some defects
in business arrangements, it was not
profitable to the proprietors, though
it was continued for seven years.
The slender income from the New
Yorker forced Mr. Greeley to engage
in other labors. . lie supplied the
daily Whiy with its leadiug articles
for some months, and for one year,
in 1835-G, edited the Veit'ersonlan, i
weekly political journal, published
in Albany, and devoted to the inter
ests of the Whig party.
In 1840 he edited the Loy Cabiti.,
a weekly journal established to pio-
mote the interests of V llliam li
Harrison, then candidate for the
Presidency. This journal obtained a
very wide circulation, and exercised
an important influence.
On the 10th of April, 1841, Mr,
Greeley commenced the publication
of the New York Daily Tribune, In
the following autumn the weekly
Tribune was issued, the AVto Yorker
and Log Cabin being merged therein
and with these journals his name has
since been identified. In Ibis mi,
G. was elected to Congress to fill
vacancy, and served in that body
from December 1st, of that year to
March 4, 1849, distinguishing himself
chiefly by his opposition to the abuse
of the mileage system. As an editor
and a lecturer he has labored zeal
ously to promote the welfare of the
laboring classes. In 1850 a volume
of his lectures and essays was pub
lished under the title of "Mints To
ward Reforms." In 1851 he made t
voyage across the Atlantic, and du
ring Ins stay in xmglanu served as
one of the jurymen at the Crystal
Palace exhibition. After his return
he published a volume entitled
"Glances at Europe." In 185G he
published a "History of the Struggle
for Slavery Extension or Restriction
in the United States from 1787 to
1856." In 185!) he made a visit to
California, traveling thither by the
way of Kansas, Pike's Peak arid Utah
During this California tour Mr,
Greeley was everywhere well receiv
ed, and at many points he addressed
throngs of people on the topics of
politics, the Pacifie Railroad, tern
perance, and the like. Oa his return
to the East, ho found the country
agitated by the stormy, political con
vulsions preceding and subsequent to
the election of Mr. ljincoln to the
Presidency. Mr. 'Greeley espoused
the Union cause, but deprecated
resort to armed force; ' During the
continuance of the struggle; while
supporting the government in its
measures for the suppression Of arm
ed resistance to its authority, yet he
left no opportunity unimproved, in
showing his great anxiety for a resto
ration Of peaceful relation's' between
the people of the contending sections
It was to promote the object, , that
Mr. Greeley proposed the famous
"Niagara conference of lsu-4.; 'Al
though the meeting of distinguished
civilians on that occasion was. not
productive of the good results which
ts promoters hoped to see, yet it
served to show the abhorrence with
which at least one of the actors re
garded a state of warfare. Since the
close of hostilities Mr. Greeley has
been constantly employed, and all
the great questions of the day have
in turn received his attention. He
was the first prominent Republican
to plead for general amnesty to all
who had engaged in hostilities against
the government. His labors in this
direction have done much to create,
in the North, a sentiment favorable
to the removal Of disabilities

He is a cartful, well-poised 'mail,

themselves, without the interference
of outside force. He has proved a

A YOCJIO PHYSICIAS HAS A
jfATBIXOHUL
A Physician of tbia city went to
his omce some twelve months ego,
and found seated there a young and
lovely lady, of cultivated manners
and apparently of good character.
ioe doctor, at nrst, tnougnt cer a
patient, and began to lay away his
overcottt, gloves, cane, etc., with the
view of sitting down and talking with
the fair visitor. She said very little
during the first few minutes. She
wore a serious and pensive express
ion, which only mode her features
more attractive. Half-hesitating, yet
charmed with the young beauty, the
doctor be j; an:
"Well: miss, what can I do for
you?"
THE MSElf
did not seem at all confused, but
throwing back her auburn curls, and.
looking the doctor squarely" in the
eye, she replied :
"xoa can marry me!
Leap year had not commenced, and
tbe 31. D., though a young physician,
was considerably nonplussed. The
lady did not laugh or smile, or show
any emotion. She was evidently in
earnest, and awaited bis answer with
marked anxiety; A few minutes of
painful suspense followed, in which
neither of them spoke a word. The
doctor declined to say "no," yet he
was not prepared, without further
acquaintance, to" say "yes " The
proposition had never been made to
him before, and a little time for con
sultation with friends and relatives
and bankers must be' allowed. Ac
cordingly he said to her:
"I believe in first love arid early
marriages. 1 hey promise the happi
ness ana weuare or tne Human race
more than any othef institution of
social life. In tbe present instance,
however, you must give me a year in
which to make up my mind. Twelve
months from this date call again and
1 will then give you my answer.
The young lady, though evidently
disappointed and somewhat
CEEST-FALLEX,
rose from her seat, promised to be
punctual in returning at the' end Of
the year,- and bowing gracefully, said
"good-bye," and departed. She
mat
vanisnea irom tne Ken ot the young
physician as if by magic", and was
heard of no more for a time. The
doctor often recalled her image; but
never once dreamed that the woman
would really return and again solicit
his hand m marriage.
The appointed time, however, came
a day or two ago, and prompt, even
to the hour, was the same fair young
lady; bhe entered the ofnee, and in
a sweet voice, but wun tbe same se
rious and pensive expression, said to
the doctor:
"I have called for your reply to my
otter of marriage made to you twelve
months ago.
, THE DOCTOR WAS OVERWHELMED.
He well remembered the circumstan
ces of her previous visit, and would
willingly have escaped from the ne
cessity of a downright refusal.
There were; however, no other alter
natives than "yea" or "no," and he
reluctantly used the latter. The
young lady,1 beautiful and charming
even in her disappointment, quietly
left the office as gracefully as she
had entered it. The'authorities soon
afterwards learned of her mental
situation, and sent her to one of the
charitable instdtutitms of the city.
Two men having arranged to fight

Y e, women citizens of tbe United
States in National Convention as
sembled at New York, proclaim the
following principles as essential to
just government:
1. We recognize" the" equality erf all
before the law, and hold that it is the
duty Of Government in its dealings
with tbe people to mete out equal and
exact justice to alt, of whatever na
tivity, race, color, sex or persuasion;
religions or political.
2. We pledge ourselves to main
tain the Union of tbe States, and to
oppose any reopening of the questions
settled by the Thirteenth, Four
teenth and Fifteenth Amendments of
the Constitution, wich have emanci
pated and enfranchised tha slaves and
women ot the nation.
3. We demand tbe immediate and.
absolute removal of all disabilities
now imposed on rebels and women.
believing that universal amnesty will
result in complete purification of the
family and in all sections of the coun
try. '
4. We demand for the individual
the largest liberty consitent with the
public order, for the State self-gov
ernment, and for the nation adher
ence to' the methods of peace, and the
constitutional lioaitauons of power;
o. W e demand a thorough civil
service reform as one of tbe pressing
necessities of the hour. Honesty, ca
pacity and fidelity, without distinc
tion of sex, should constitute the only
valid claim to publio employment. :
The first step in this reform is tfce
one-term principle and the election of
President and Vice President and
United States Senators by tbe whole
people.
6. We athrm tfcHt no f orm of taxa
tion is just or wise wmch puts bur
dens upon tbe people by means of du
ties intended to increase the price of
domestic products, and which are un
necessary for purposes of revenue. ?
Taxes should not be laid on the nec
essaries, but upon the luxuries of life,
that tbe rich and not the poor may
bear the burdens.-
7. Tbe highest consideration of
commercial morality and honest gov
ernment requires a thorough reform
of the present financial system. Tbe
interests of the people demand a
cheap, sound, uniform, abundant, and
elastio currency, . to' be a permanent
measure of value, based on the wealth
of the nation. This will be found in
the issue of currency,' or certificates
of value by tbe Government for all
duties, taxes and imports whatever,
which shall be legal tender for .all
debts, publio or private; ffnch curren
cy to be the lawful money of the'
L nited States, and convertable at the
option ot the holder into Govern
ment bonds,- bearing a rate of inter
est not exceeding 3 per cent, and to
be recouvertable into currency at tho
will of the holder.
8. We remember with gratitude
the heroism and sacrifices of the
wives, sisters and mothers through
out this Republic in the late war; the"
grand sanitary work they did in the
hospitals, on the battle field, and ia
gathering in the harvests at home,
have justly earned for the women of
the country the genero'tfa recognition
ot all their political rights by every
true American statesman. "'"N V-,
9. We are opposed to all grants of
land to railroads or other corpora
tions. The public domain should be'
held sacred toC actual settlers, so that
homesteads can be secured to every'
man and woman.
10. We believe in the principle
of the referendum, minority represen
tation, and a just system: ot graduated
taxation.
11. It is the duty of the Govern
ment to regard children and criminals
as wards of the State; to secure to the
one tbe best advantages of education,'
ad for tbe other more humane legis
lation and better methods of reform.
12. We hold it is the duty of the
Government, in. its' intercourse, with"
foreign countries, to cultivate the
friendships of peace, by treating- with
all on just ancL equal terms, and by
insisting on the settlement of alt dif
ferences by a congress of nations.
13. For the promotion of these' vi
tal principles, and the establsbment of
si party based on them, we invite tha
co-operation of all "citizens," without
distinction of racei color, sex, nation-
ality or previous political affiliations.
