THE DOUBLE LESSON.
"Hare you told me the whole truth,
now, Lilian, about the genileman I saw
you talking with upon the biiiljrot
the whole truth, remember."
"Yes, indeed, indeed, Kejjiimld," she
exclaimed, looking at him piteauoly,
with hor forget-me-not eyes swimming
in tears, ami her little childish hands
clasped in supplication.
"1 wish I could believe you, but I
den't!" groaned lteginald Trever, start
ing up and beginning to jmce tlie floor,
angrily, while his fragile little wife sob
bed aloud in her excitement and tenor.
"If you did not meet the man by
appointment, what made yo pretend to
hare a headache to gt?t rid of coming
down to tea; and what made you, when
we were all seated at table, go stealing
out the lck way instead of the front,
and -walk straight there and nowhere
elset And what made you look so fright
ened when you saw mel Tell we that,
will youf
"I I thought the air would do nie
good, and I didn't want to disturb you.
Indeed, indeed, it is true, Regie, dear."
"And what made your polite acquaint
ance turn and go off aa though he had
been shot out of a gun the moment he
saw me cotuingt No, ne, Lily, it won't
do. Your very terror now contradicts
your story. Will you tell me the truth,
or shall I wring it out of that mant"
Lily rose to her feet, trembling, her
face waxen white, but strangely calm.
"If you will let me, I will go back to
mv aunt, Reginald. That is the best
place for me now."
Reginald Trevor'satern.handsomefuce
grew a shade paler, and his hand clench
ed and unclenched nervously. If he
could only believe her hia little snow
drop, that he had sheltered in bis bo
som, and whose purity and truth he
would hare sworn to.
"Will you tell me that man's name,
Lily 1" he asked, more angrily.
"No, Reginald," was the firm reply.
"You have doubted me. I will not put
it in your power to question another
concerning me."
"I will find him, though. I should
know his sneaking, handsome face among
a thousand," cried Reginald, passionate
ly, as Lily, pale, but stately as a little
queen, swept past him to the door.
She waa back again very shortly,
dressed for going out, and looking like a
snowy water-lily in soft, white furs,
with her dove eyes and colorless face.
She paused beside the door.
"Have jou any objection to my go
ing to my aunt's r she asked.
Reginald strode across the room, with
his back to the door. lie did not an
swer. She crossed the room, and just
touched his arm with her gloved hand.
"Hare you any objection to my going
to my aunt's!" she repeated.
"Will you tell me that man's namel"
A faint tremor crept areund lily's
lips, but she looked him steadily in the
face, and answered :
"No."
"The sooner you go to your aunt's,
then, and the longer you stay, the better
I shall be pleased, he said, with cold
indifference.
With a deep, inward Bieh, the wife
turned swiftly away, nor paused till she
knocked at the door of a handsome res
idence a few streets off.
A sprightly little lady, whose resem
blance to Lily Trevor marked her at once
for that aunt who had almost since her
babyhood supplied a mother's place to
the orphan, rose eagerly from under the
glow of the chandelier at sight of her.
"Why, Lily !" was her dismayed
ejaculation.
"Dear auntie, don't question me, pb .
I've quarreled with Reginald, that is all," ,
Lily said, livstericnllv. j
"But, Lily "
"Aunt Mrya, it can't be hcled now;
and I dare say I waa just as much to
blame as he was. Let it settle itself,
won't youl"
Aunt Myra looked as though she
doubted the chances of auch an event;
but she said no more. She knew some
thing of Lily's firmness.
The matter, indeed, did not seem in
clined to settle itself in a hurry. Lily
waited in rain for seme sign from her
husband. She sent for her trunk in the
course of the next day, and it tamo
without a word.
A week passed, and though Lily grew
paler day by day, and Reginald more
desolate, neither gave one sign to the
other. As Reginald was returning from
his Club one evening, he found himself
behind two men, who were talking in
low but sufficiently distinct tones. It
was some moments before betook enough
note of their conversation to discover
that they were talking of him.
"Disgraceful !" said one. "I should
think so; and I havn't a single doubt,
myself, that Trevor is the one to blame.
He was always a haughty, jealous, ty
rannical fellow. Lily Ramsay was al
ways a great deal too good for him."
"I wouldn't sw.rar l,y the goodness of
any foily w that could quarrel this way
with a girl like Lily Ramsay within six
months after he'd married her. When
a man takes a woman to love, cherish
and protect, he don't do it to my notion,
by making his house so hot that she is
very glad to stay out of it,"
Reginald Trevor quickened his pace,
and passed the two gentlemen unrecog
nized. He had heard enough to irritate
him excessively. There might not be
one particle of justification for these
men speaking as they did of him; but
as be paced angrily homeward, the words
kept recurring to him, "haughty, jealous,
tyrannical !" Was that Lily's opinion
of him. he wondered.
He walked around by Mrs. Ramsay's
house, keeping on the opposite side of
the way, and regarding the mansion
stealthily as he passed, though it was too
dark for any one to see him. At the cor
ner he even hesitated, as a slender shad
ow crossed the blind, which might be
Lily's. Then murmuring, "No; I teld
her the longer she stayed the better I
should be pleased, and so I shall, till she
comes to her senses," he hurried gloom
ily home.
But his fate waa net in his own hands.
That night his house was entered by bur
ALBANY, OREGON,
glars; and though he succeeded iu mut
ing them, ha was so severely injured by
a blow upon the head from some heavy
instrument in the hands of one, that for
days liis life was considered exceedingly
doubtful. .
The news came upon Lily without
warning. She was bending over some
work, but not taking the stitches, for
tears. She put down her work almost
with a smile.
"Auntie," she said, "that means me.
God is better to Regie and me than wo
deserve. He won't die, trust me for
that."
lteginald Trevor did not die; and good
Dr. Mortimer, who surmised something
of the slate of things, told him very
plainly that he owed his life to his wife
more than to his doctor.
"Was I haughty, jealous end tvranni-
call" wus Reginald's first question of
Lily, as lie feel!y drew her little hand
to his lips.
Those very words had haunted his
delirium. Lily smiled through her tears.
"Not more than I was foolish and wil
ful," she said, gently. "The man you
saw me talking with wag the husband
of my sister, who lives in Jersey, as you
know. He is a bad fellow, you also
know. I spoke to him reluctantly, and
I did not want you to meet him. I had
no idea of seeing hhn when I went out,
and if you had not lost your temper so
soon, 1 ahould have told you all there
was to tell, though I didn't like to talk
about it. Shall we begin again, Regief'
"My darling, yes."

An editor is the happiest being on
earth. He has little or nothing to do,
and his pay is all that heart could wish.
His sanctum, with its Persian rugs and
Turkish carpets, its costly rosewood
furniture, its magninoent mirrors, its
beautiful pictures, its complete library
of splendidly bound books, its silver
bell to summon an attendant, and, in
short, with its everything that human
ingenuity ran devise for his comfort,
and pleasure, is a perfect little paradise,
whore he aits or lounges and reigns a
young lord, with tho world of fashion
and pleasure at hi feet. And then,
anybedy can be an editor no study, no
(reparation, no brains, nothing but a
iltle money to start with, and once
started, the money pours in upon you in
a steady stream, and the chief labor of
your wife ia to spend it. As for tho
labor of editing a newspaper, that is
mere moonshine. A mere glance at
the columns of a newspaper is enough
to convince you that it requires no labor
to edit it, and less brains. It is certain
ly a glorious life, that of an editor; a
life of luxurious ease and of elegant
leisure a life filled, like that of the
young lover,"in his first dream of re
quited love, with flutes rnd rose leaves
and moonbeams. That all men are not
editors is oue of the strangest things
beneath the stars. True, there must be
doctors and lawyers and merchants and
shoemakers and peanut venders and the
like, and nil those callings must be filled
by somebody, but there are enough to
fill them, and why they don't become
editors and lead the life of opulent
princes is a thing that staggers us. But,
after all, it may be that it is a mere
matter of taste. It may bo repugnant
to soiiio natures to become editors. The
life of ease and clegnnco and luxury,
and exemption from all cares and toils
and debts, would soon become a bore to
him, and be would spend his nights in
dreaming of ploughs and pitchforks and
reaping machines, and squander his days
in devising some plan for swapping
plncea with a blacksmith's apprentice,
or a htivot-oar driver. Louitvilh Cour-ier-Juunuil.

BESriSCT DIK TO WIVES.
Do not jest with your wile upon a
subtest in which there is dancer of
wounding her feelings. Remember that
she treasures every word you utter. Do
not speak of great virtues in another
man's wife to remind your own of a
fault. Do not reproach your wife with
personal defects, for if she has sensibil
ity you inflict a wound difficult to heal.
Do not treat your wife with inattention
in company ; it touches her pride and
she will net respect you more or love
you better for it. Do not upbraid your
wife in the presence of a third party;
the sense of your disregard for her
feelings will prevent her acknowledging
her fault. Do not entertain your wife
by praising the beauty and accomplish
ments of other women. If you would
have a pleasant home and a cheerful
wife, pass your evenings under yeur
own roof. Do not be stern and silent in
in your own house, and remarkable for
sociability elsewhere.

Washimotow, D. C,
lUitor Democrat:
Among the many benefices of Mr.
Corcoran, the millionaire, there are none
that address themselves so directly to
the cultured public as the art collection
whioh he has established in Washing
ton. For three days iu the week, Tues
days, Thursdays and Saturdays, the gal
lery U ojiea to visitors without charge,
and on these days it i a favorite resort
for both tho permanent and transient
resident at the capital. Here may be
seen the connoisseur, who will stand
long in critics! inspection of some pic
ture which to tho unlearned in art is al
together uninteresting ; while the un
artistic confine their admiration to those
paintings distinguished for breadth,
brightness and sonsation.
On Mondays, Wednesday ami Fri
days an admission of twenty-five cent
is charged, and, on these days, tho gal
lery is frequented chiefly by artists,
twenty or thirty iu number, who are
painting copies of the different pictures
or making study of the statuary.
There is ene picture that seems to be
equally attractive to the artists and to
the unlearned ; there is alwaya an ad
miring group before it ; many copies of
it have been attempted, and when I was
at the gallery to day two artists were in
front of it with their easels, with eop
ies in different stages of completion. It
is a remarkably expressive and impres
sive study of Charlotte Corday at the
window of her prison. The gloomy
stone casing of the window and the in
exorable iron bare are only accessories.
The illumination is the pale, determined,
sad heroic face of the beautiful assassin.
The face may notbe true as a portrait,
but its fidelity to received historic
ideal is a triumph of art The emotion
excited in the beholder ia m ih mtliy of
admiration rather than of pity, for there
is no weakness of hope, or fitar, or re
signation, in the fmw of the woman ; no
doubt that her imdiiraiice will not Ihiss
victorious as was her daring.
Iu close proximity to Charlotte Cor
day is a picture which, from its gro
tesque mixture of the serious, comic,
and tragic, must have been placed there
for tho sake of contrast. It ia called
"The Edict of William the Testy." The
subject ia taken from these words of
Irving, in Knickerbocker : "Fiimlly he
issued an edict prohibiting the use of
tobacco in the New Netherlands. The 1
immediate effect of the ediet was a pop
ular commotion. A vast multitude
armed with pipes, tobacco boxes, and
an immense amount of ammunition, sat
themselves down in front of the Gov
ernor's house and fell ta smoking with
great violence. The testy William is
sued forth like a wrathful spider and
demanded the reason of this lawless
fumigation ; tho stony rioters replied by
rolling back in their seats and pufling
with redoubled fury. Without tho in
teqiretion of the text the picture would
be inexplicable. The artist has painted
a largo congregation of men with faces
of great variety, but in all of which
the Teutonicphysiognomy ia pronounced,
each with a pipe in his mouth, aad with
cheeks puffed in the act of smoking,
while the petty governor appears on the
portico of his house brandishing his
edict and cane in impotent rage. It
cannot be denied that the artist has
made the most out of; a contemptible
subject, bu. when nature and history
furnish so many subjects worthier to be
perpetuated, it is inconceivable how ge
nius can waste itself on anything so
trivial and obscure. The artist, Mr.
Geo. H. Boughtou, was offered $6,000,
with the privilege of selecting his sub
ject, for a painting, and this is what he
produced.
A number of new pictures have been
recently added to the gallery, anal the
general effect has been improved by re
arrangement. An autumnal landscape
by J. F. Kensett is a picture of marvel
lous scope, detail, and variety. The
sunlight, an immense stretch of frost
crimsoned forest, while mountains, lake,
and islands extend until they are ob
scured in the haze of distance. Artists
are enthusiastic in their admiration of
this picture, and they criticise, wit hout
remorse, a painting of more imposing
appearance, by Bierstadt. I have ob
served that very few artists will allow
that Bierstadt has real genius, or any
thing beyond sensational reputation.
His landscapes are miraculous, almost
tragic. It is only necessary for him to
paint a prairie against a background of
first, and green sky, with a solitary fox
worshipping a wild goose in a swamp,
in order to produce emotions of ainir&
tion in the uncritical. If Bierstadt and
Gusts, v Dore should form a partnership,
the one to paint impossible landscapes,
and the other to fill them with unearth
ly figures, the combined effect would be
too intolerable for mortal vision-
This painting, which the artist, with
1878.
an eye to pecuniary effort, Las called
Mount Corcoran, is an idealisation of
one of the snow-clad peaks of the Sierra
Nevada range, at Ike foot of which is s
little lake of such translucent clearness
that pebbles may be seen in its greatest
depths. A grizzly bear strolls in "med'
itation fancy free," taking tho place of
the conventional solitary horseman, and
heightening tho impression of loneli
ness. The chromatic and actinic effects
are marvelous ; they may bo either su
pernal or infernal ; they are certainly
not natural.
In the way of landscapes there has
been a recent valuable addition, "A
Torim.lo," by Cole, and, to illustrate bis
versatility, this painting has been placed
in group with the two beautiful mediae
val landscapes by the srmo artit, that
have been in the gallery sine its foun
dation. Tho dark sky and reeling for
est ef the one is iu powerful contrast
with tho quiet beauty, richness, and re
pose of the other two.
The Corcoran Gallery, wijh its valua
ble collection of paintings, statuary,
casts, bronzes, plate, and enronics, has
supplied a want long felt at the capital.
Its refining and ennobling influence is
appreciated by many who live here, and
it is not too much to say that it ia more
worthy the attention of the visitor, the
houses of Congress perha excepted,
than anything else in Washington.

The celebrated Dr. Johnson said
"Let no man enter into business while
he is ignorant of the manner of regu
lating books; never let him imagine
that any degree of natural ability will
supply the deficiency or preserve the
multiplicity of affuira from inextricable
confusion. This is sound advice, and
should be heeded by all young men con
templating a business career. Among
houses conducting the more extensive
andcomplicatedinperations of commerce,
irregularity in the management of their
accounta is now becoming a rare occur
rence. But this is far from being the
case among the middle and smaller
class of dealers and mechanics. The
frequent failures among them often dis
close the mest culpable ignorance and
negligence in the management of their
accounts, and as the extensive dealers
are themselves often the severest suf
ferers by these events, they should con
sider it their duty to make proper in
quiry into the business qualifications of
those to whom tliey extend confidence.
And they should use their influence to
impress it strongly upon the minds of
such persons, that the want of that
knowledge, which is to be obtained
alone from systematic accounts, must
always increase the hazard of ultimate
failure in buisness, and it is therefore
the first and most obvious duty of every
dealer and trader small or great, to
keep a precise and methodical account
of bis transactions. Every young man
should remember that his value in the
commercial world will depend upon his
qualifications as a businss man, and
early in life prepare himself by a
thorough course of instruction for the
duties of the counting-house. Even if
he never has occasion to employ his
time in keeping books, it is no less im
perative, as a thorough-gomg business
man, that be should be a competent ac
countant. THB GAME OF LIFE.
Man's life is a game of cards. First
it is f'crib-age." Next he tries to "go it
alone at a sort of "cut, shuttle, and
deal" pace. Then he "gambles on the
green." Then he "raises" the "deuce"
when his mother "takes a hand in,"and
contrary to Hoyle, "beats the little jok
er" with her "five." Then with his
"diamond" he "wins" the "queen of
hearts." Tired of playing a "lone hand,"
he expresses a desire to "assist" his fair
"partner," "throws out his cards," and
the clergyman takes a ten-dollar bill out
of him on "a pair." "Orders him up"
"to build" the fires. "Like a "knave,"
he "joins" the "clubs," where he often
gets "high" which is "low," too. If he
keeps "straight" he is oftentimes "flush."
He grows old and "bluff," sees a "deal"
of trouble, when at last he "shuffles" off
his mortal ceil and "passes in his checks.
As ho is "raked in." by a "spade," life's
fitful "game" is ended, and he waits the
summons of Gabriel's "trump," which

but he oould think most offal hard.
This is tho way with me as I went
through this whale, of a Greenback
party, and to keep others from this spu
rious party I shall have to explain it
from head te tail.
When I started in I oould see Pet?r
Coojier and Carey, each astraddle of a
jaw-bone, and Brick Pomeroy at the
roots of iU tongue. Not our Santiam
Pomeroy; lie's considerable of a "brick,'
too, but he don't kuow anything about
this animal. I ine.ni the Greenback

SYMPATHIZES.
What can be more discouraging than
the feeling that in our struggles through
life, in eur trials and disappointments,
there are none to sympathize or care for
usl Ne man can go very far with
strength, courage and cheer if he goes
alone. We are made to be happier and
better by each others' notice, apprecia
tion, help and praise, and the hearts
that are debarred from those influences
invariably wither, harden and break.
Here and there are found persons who
from pride, perverseness, and often sen
sitiveness, affect to be altogether inde
pendent of the notice or regard of their
fellow beings, but is a very safe asser
tion to make that never yet was there
one human heart that did not at some
tender and yearning hour, long for sym
pathy of other hearts. And there ia a
nobility in this feeling.

THE SMB. M(iESU, UTXS.
A Washington correspondent of the
1 3th says:
Col. Bob Ingersoll still continues to
bombard the different Christian churches
with his guns so heavily overloaded with
ridicule that a Graphic correspondent
iutimates that he has made hinr-lf
amenable to an old Colonial law still iu
force here, although It lifti fallen into
dkuetude a eontury ago and it exist
ence seems to have been forgotten for
several generations until recently. This
correspondent says: "Col. Bob lnget
soll ia delivering his lectures on relig
ious subjects here, and for his informa
tion it should be stated that the Attorney-General
recently decided that the .
old Uolonial law is -smi in lorce in tms
district, never having been repealed.
The first section of this law provides
that, "if any person shall deny our
Saviour, Jesus Christ, to lie the Son of
God, or shall deny the Holy Trinity,
the Father, the Son and Holy Ghoftt, oi
the Godheads of any of the three per
sons or the unity of the Godhead, or
shall utter any profane words concern- .
ing the Holy Trinity, or any of the per
sons thereof, and shall be thereof -'convicted,
he or she shall, for the first of
fence, be bored through the tongue, for
the second offence shall be stigmatized m
burning the forehead with the letter
B," and for the third offence shall suf
fer death." Judging, however, from the
crowds who came out to hear Ingersoll,
to laugh at his sallies, and to applaud
what would have been reganioi as fclas
phemic? only a few short years ago,
there is very poor show for him to gain
a martyr a crown at tho bands ot a
Washington audience. It is said that
his hearers include many of the most
cultivated minds here, male and female;
and what may still appear more anoma
lous is the fact that many vf hi most
enthusiastic hearers those lotnU-yt iu
their approval are members of evan
gelical churches, in this city or else
where. Hesr.sTr.
