THE JIVSTKIUOUS IJtSAPPEAKASCC. The next morning Andrew, who had remained at Captain Marsh's the re mainder of the night, accompanied Blanche as far as Colonel Hewitt's. Bidding her not to forget speaking a good word for "brass buttons" to her penitont cousin, he crossed tho lawn and proceeded to his boarding-house, where a steaming breakfast awaited him, served up by the hands of his rosy-cheeked landlady. Blanche entered tho house just as the Colonel's family were sitting down to breakfast, and nothing would answer but that she should partake with them, notwithstanding she urged her return home to eat with hor prodigal cousin. "Well, Cordelia is again restored to us safe and sound," said she, and she took the offered seat. "She has learned a useful lesson, and one that will un doubtedly bonefit her in the future." "Yes, and teach her not to put too much confidence in romantic French men and visionary castles," added the Colonel. "But choose a lover from her own country, hey?" exclaimed the merry voice of Robert, who smiled as he en tered: "That remains yet to be settled," re marked the Colonel, giving his nephew a knowing wink. "Now, uncle, be lenient and do not expose any youthful follies you may have discerned," replied Robert, seating himself beside Blanche. "But, auntie, to change the subject, what do you say to a trip to Niagara?" "I should like it very much, Robert," replied Mrs. Hewitt. "But what in the world put that-into your head so early this morning?" "I cannot say, unless I dreamed of it," was the reply. "Though I have al ways had a desire to see one of the grandest and most magnificent sights in America, yet I have never visited this great waterfall ; so I have at last made up my mind to go. Who will ac company me?" "I, for one, my boy," was his uncle's rejoinder. "If the ladies agree, we will start next week. What do you say, btsV" and he turned to his lovely daughter. "Oh, I should bo so delighted!" was Sonora's reply. "And Blanche, you must make one of our number, for you know my pleasure would be incomplete if you wore not along." "But I think I must refute myself the gratification. Though I have been there several limes, it would afford me nono the loss delight to go again ; but I hav been from home so much this summer that I feel that I should devote the rest of it to grandma's comfort and pleas ure. If agreeable, l will resigu my place to Cordelia, whom I know would be rejoiced at seeing one of Nature': proudest and most sublime works. Whon will you start, Mrs. Hewitt?" It is so very sudden a proposition mat I scarcely know. I suppose w may as well say the first of the coming wech..'- loooKitig towards her husband lor an answer. "Just as you say, Alice," replied the Colonel. "We EoutloniPi, - i!,. always ready, but you ladies have so many 'fixings' that it is like rigging a ship out to sea to get ready." "A letter! a letter!" was Sonora's Budden exclamation, as Rissey bounded in bearing a letter post-niarkcd "Louis- Intin " "Yes, Miss Snory, dat am frum Massa tmrry ure nuii!" exclaimed Rissey her large eyes opening to their fullest extent as Mrs. Hewitt, breaking the seal, dropped upon the table a pair of gold ear-rings with long yellow drops suoh asimay be seen among the mulatto girls at the South. MTV. T 1 l.f -r . . jk imiu mess miss veil, i never thought hc carud puffin' 'bont me j 'fore," aiul accepting them from the hands of her mistress, she held them tip t to her ears, while a double row of ivories might be seen from nearly ear to ear, and strutting out of the room with all the airs of a queen, she hastened to show her mother, leaving the family convulsed with laughter. "Harry, 'Dell and Mrs. Summers are at Niagara,- having started the day after sending this," said Mrs. Hewitt, as sho finished, ''So you see we shall bo just in time to meet them. They intend spending a short time there prior to leaving for, Europe, which they will do the first of next mouth. And now for the necessary preparations and to talk over the' anticipated visit, girls," con tinued Mrs. Hewitt, rising from tho ta ble. "Come, Blanche, you had better make up your mind to go. Spend the day with us, and I think I cau coax you. It will do you good, for you do not look well." "I do not feel very well, but I shall soon be better," replied she, gazing out of the window. "I am sorry I cannot accept your kind invitation for to-day, but I promised grandma I would not stay long," continued she in rather a confused manner at finding her thoughts again wandering. "I merely came to let you know that Cordelia was safe, as I promised. Good morning," and tak ing her coquettish little Hut in hor hand, was turning to depart, when Rob ert arose, saying: "Allow, me to accompany you, Miss Lcverc. I think a morning walk will benefit my health," giving hcraroguish smile. "I have no doubt that a walk as far as Cor Captain Marsh's will be of great material benefit to a certain internal or gan situated in your left side, my boy," said the Colonel dryly as lie took up the morning paper. "Oil, you are too hard upon me, un cle," was the laughing reply, and he closed the door after his companion. Arriving at her grandfather's door, Blanche invited Robert in, which be ing in no way repugnant to his feelings, . - i he accepted. They wero met in the par- lor br Cordelia, who looked so much better and more cheerful titan she did on the previous evening that Robert could not help congratulating iter upon her improved appearance, considering, too, that she had lost a gallant French lover, which brought a conscious blush her checks, making her look still more interesting. Grandma would not hear to Robert's leaving till after dinner at least, so that tho morning was passed off pleasantly talking over the Niagara trip, and be fore Robert left it was arranged that Cordelia should accompany Mrs. Hew itt's family, a proceeding highly pleas- ing to the heart of the young lieuten ant, whom our readers doubtless ere this imagined took rather a deep inter est in the languid but beautiful and trusting girl. We pass over tho next few weeks, which tuey, after meeting Harry as they expected, passed most delightfully We will meet them after their return home. Cordelia in particular seemed to have gained new life and animation since her journey. The Colonel and his family aecompa nicd Harry with his wife and mother-in-law as far as the steamer, where, bid ding them adieu, they left them on their route to Europe with prayers for their speedy and safe return. They had returned to Bridgeport feeling not only refreshed in body, but also renovated and exalted in mind. For who that hath visited Niagara and beheld the roaring cataract as it foams and dashes from .its giddy height can again return to tho monotony of former life without fceliug a truly exalted love for the sub lime and beautiful, while their thoughts soar away in wrapt amazement and awe to that great God whoso stupendous and mighty works have called forth the praises and adoration of generation aftor generation. Tho morning after their arrival home, Blanche and her cousin spent the day with Sonora. In the afternoon, as thev were sitting upon tho piazza, the two latter relating to Blanche many intor cstlng topics connected with their jour ney, Sonora, looking down the path, be held the post-boy. Her eye Instantly brightened, for truly did sho guess from whom came a letter. Taking it, she at outfe recognized the hand wrilin Clarence's, but turning it, she beheld a black seal. For a momont her heart sank aud her brain grew dizzy. Excus ing herself from her friends for a few moments, she hastened to Her own room, where she might read it in soli tude. But as we are privileged charac ters, we will take the liberty of peeping and see if there is cause for sadness: Geokgia, August o, 18. -VV ever dear Sbnora. The old adage. "absence severs friendship," lias proved untrue in my case, for tho longer I am absent from you, my dear one, the firmer becomes my lovo for you. While I am longing to behold that face which Is dearer to me than all else earthly, I am striving to teach my rebellious heart more patience I cherish the blissful hope of soon clasping you once more to my breast, and then whisper in your ear that I can now claim tho hand you have promised me, and without feeling myself unequal in point of wealth or unable to support you In the manner in which you have been accustomed to live. Though worldly possessions are considered but a small item to either you or myself, still I would refrain from renewing the subject between us had not God seen fit in His wiBdom to take my beloved uncle to a blissful Immor tality. Yes, ho who for sc mauy years has supplied the place of a dear father to me has been called home, leaving an almost heart-broken aged widow and myself to mouru his loss. Though he has by equally dividing his large .for tune between his wife and nephow made me the possessor of riches far exceeding your own, thus giving me an opportun ity of winnipg ypu for my own dear wife, still I would much rather had it been the will of God that he should have lived longer to have enjoyed the aweet companionship of tho partner of his youthful days, and trusted to my own labors to gain a position which your mother would be proud to have her daughter fill; but God saw fit In His just decree to have it otherwise, and thus before I expected I can again offer you my Iovo (uot my money) and be unspeakably happy in tho return of yours, my precious girl. If nothing prevents, I will now accept your mother's kind invitation of spend ing a few days at Spring Brook. I shall leave for New York to-morrow, where I shall bo detained a short time on business. After that you may expect to see me. Till then, my loved and darling one, I commend you to the caro of God. Hoping to bo remem bered to the entire family, I remain as ever, Yourunchauging and devoted ClUtEXCE PtEIlPOXT. For a few moments Sonora sat per fectly motionless, while she murmured an Inward prayer of thankfulness out of the fulness of her joy at this happy turn of affairs. "I am happy! oh, so happy!" ex claimed she, jumping up. "How thank ful I am that my Heavenly Father In terposed His gracious hand In saving me from becoming the wifo of that urn Aij.tu, umu jiaa siiowercu upon me His gracious smiles and placed wicked, bad man, and has showered happiness within my grasp once more. Clarence ! dear Clarence!" and leaving the room, sho hastened to inform her mother and the girls of his expected ar rival. 1 Mrs. Hewitt was rejoiced to see her daughter looking so radiantly happy, out forbore maktntr anv comments. thinking it best not to meddle with her secret joy. Cordelia, however, gave vent as usual to her first impulse, and complimented her upon her beaming eyes and rosy checks, and wished her joy for the safe return of a lover unchanged. But Blanche, poor girl! turned her head that she micht hide the tears. which would rise In spite of her, for, though she was glad to see her friend again so happy, she dreaded the time for Clarence to arrive. Her weak frame already felt incapable to bear the ner vous excitement which his presence must certainly give her, but gaining at last sufficient power to force back the scalding tears to their fountain, there to scar and dry upon her heart, sho said: "I rejoice with you, dear Sonora, for you look so happy quite like yourself again." That's so. But what has caused this sudden change?" asked the Colonel, opening wide the door of the verandah and looking in. Sonora, giving him a bright and glorious smile, held up tho letter. "From Clarence, papa. He will be here in a few days." "Good news, my pet. I'm glad to hear it, for though your father Is so selfish that he wants you all himself, stui nc nas not lived all tuesc years without knowing the youthful heart is prone to seek Its companionship beyond tho limits of a parent's love, however dear that my be, and willingly do I re linquish a part of your affections when I know by so doing I make my child happy," and lie laid his hand upon his daughter's head, "Why, Blanche, it is nearly sunset and time we were golug?" cried Cor delia. "You know we promised to be at home to take supper with my mother." "Yes, 'Delia, I have not forgotten it. Let us prciuire for our walk," answered Blanche. Just then a ring at the door-bell ar rested the attention or all. A moment after Rissey entered, handing Sonora a slip of paper, which contained tho fol lowing words Mss JfcwiU: Knowing you to bo an angel of mercy, I have taken tho liberty of sending for you, renuestinc you to come if possible to the cottage of poor blinu harau, wnom you know lies in the last stage of consumption, and wishes the conversation of some pious female. I knew of nono whom I could recommend as well as you, of whose goodness and youthtuL piety I have heard so much. Most respectfully, Rev. O. B. Mitchell, Pastor Trinity Chapel. "Poor blind girl! I did not think she was so ill!" was the Colonel's first ex clamation. "Go, by all means, my child, if you can be of,, any .service to her. Are jou acquainted with Dr. Mitchell?" "Not intimately. I have attended his church several times, though I was not aware that ho knew me. You rec ollect last summer when Norman was here we met him once or twice. How ever, this makes no difference. When tho girls go I will accompany them. You knowher cottage is but a shortdis- tanco from Captain Marsh's." "But I fear darkness will overtake you before you can return,?' remarked Mrs. Hewitt. "Had you not better take Rlsjey or Samp with you ?" "Well, just as you say, mamma. Sup pose I take Rissey." Ringing tho bell, Sonora summoned Rissey to her presence, telling her to prepare herself for a 'walk, and to get ready a basket of provisions. "Yes marm. But, Miss Stiory, I don't guess we'll want nuflln' to cat afore we get home, cos supper1!! be all ready." "Do as you arc bidden without any comments!" said tho Colouel sharply, pretending to bo very angry, but only to break up tho habit Rissey had of giv ing her opinion and replying to every thing that was said to her. "Golly!" exclaimed she as she closed the tloor aud proceeded to obey orders. "Olo massa giltiu' offul spiteful. Guess lie's gone mad cos he seen Rissey dc od der night out wul kin1 round de cabbage bed 'long wid Jinks. But who cars? Specs he links ought to look higher," aud felio tossed up her head and swung back her long car-rings with a grand flourish, as she arranged a basket of nice dainties for the sick woman. The girls being ready, Sonora called Rissey, and off they started. Mr. aud Mrs. Hewitt stood gazing after them down the long gravelled walk, when Robert entered from the garden, where he had been indulging in a comfortable nap in the summer house, and where we last saw Claude. "What, have they gone?" exclaimed he, as he caught a glimpse of their dresses fluttering in the breeze. "Why, I quite slept away all my gallantry. I intended to have seen them home by all means; but I am not too late yet. I will go over to the Captain's and escort my cousin home, at any rate," and whistling a lively air, he placed the jaunty blue cap upon his head and has tened after them. "I think Robert has lost his heart over in that quarter," .remarked Mrs. Hewitt as she and her husband entered the house. "Think! ha! ha! Why, there's noth ing surer, and he could not have lost it in a better place, for it will be returned to him with one as good accompanying It," answered her husband, as they seated themselves at the open window. Thus they had sat for nearly an hour. The sun had once more sank to rest, and nature was again quiet, when the bell sounding for supper, they arose to obey its summons. As Mrs. Hewitt stopped to closo the window, her attention was arrested by a shrill scream breaking upon the still night air. Turning to her husband, while a visible shudder passed over her frame, sho said: "How strangely that sounded. It seemed to me like the fore-runner of something dreadful. I do wish Sonora was home!" "I heard nothing, Alice. I guess It was only your maternal solicitude, which makes you somewhat nervous and causes you to hear Imaginary sounds. Come, let us take supper, for I have no doubt but they will get thclrsat CaptaiuMarsh's," answered the Colonel, advancing towards the dining-room. Mrs. Hewitt followed as she remarked: "I know I distinctly heard a scream, anil did i not know that Robert was along, I should feel very much alarmed." "Oh, you will see her como boundlug in presently as lively as a cricket, with Robert whistling at her heels," was the merry reply, as they seated themselves at the table. Mrs. Jlcwitt said nothing more, though any one could see sho was ill at case by hcrdlstractcd manner and casual ;lances towards tho window, which commanded a view of the lawn at the back of tho house. Supper passed over in silence, nnd bed time had arrived, and neither Rob ert, Sonora, nor Rissey had yet made their appearance. "I tell you I know something has happened, Colonel," said Mrs. Hewitt "Hark!" was the answer. "Rover is barking. They arc coming," and aris Ing, he oncued the front door. As he did so he beheld Robert, Captain Marsl aud the faithful old Juno carrying a lantern. "My child! Robert, my child!" ex claimed Mrs. Hewitt, rushing to the door at the sound of so many voices. "Calm yourself, my dear aunt, and I will Inform you of all I know." Mrs. Hewitt sank upon the sofa al most llveless ere she had heard the dreadful news, which made her truly an afflicted mother. "After leaving here," began Robert; as they seated themselves, "I walked as fast as possible, aud overtook the girls within a few steps of Captain Marsh's. Blancho aud Cordelia stopped, and I in tended to keep on with my cousin, but seeing my intention, she bade me enter also and await her return, saying site would be back In less than half an hour, and it would not be near dark then. 'And besides, added she, ! have Rissey along for company.' As tho cottage was but a short distance off, I complied with tho request, and we watched her till she was hid by that small portion of woods which was near her journey's end, and then entering the house, we waited for nearly half an hour, when, supper being announced, Mrs. Marsh Insisted upon me joining them, saying Sonora would be along ilia minute. But sup per passed over and she camo not, and feeling alarmed at her prolonged stay, I would have started in pursuit, but thinking perhaps sheliad been unavoid ably dctalued, I waited a little longer, when I started ofT alone, promising to return and spend the evening If all was right. Arriving at Sarah's cottage, what was my dismay and surprise to find that Sonora had hot been there, and also that 'ita occupriht liad'not sent for her, but was getting quite smart. Quickly retracing my steps through the thick grovoof trees, I noticed something upon the ground. Pickiugit up, I found it to bo thlsear-riilgjbclonginglo Rissey, and this diamond ring, marked H. N. B. Putting them In my pocket, I feared the worst, and with steps swifter than the antelope, did I run back fortius gentle man, and for tho last hour have we searched everywhere for tho lost one, butas yet have found nor heard nothing more than this: A farmer, returning from his work, told me he saw a carriage, driving along at a terrible speed, pass the lane aboutan hour ago, and thought he heard a scream, but looking back, he taw nothing, ami thought it was only his fancy, so passed quietly along. This is all I know, dear auntie and uncle. Though I am free from all blame, still I shall ever feel as if I might havo pre vented what I fear is the case, had I taken my own course, and kept on with Sonora as I should have done." "Merciful God! I fear the worst!" exclaimed the Colonel, starting from his seat in a frenzy of grief. "Well do I know you arc exempt from blame, my noble boy, for I believe you would'wlll- Ingly risk your own life for that of your cousin, but lliero is now no time for thanks or regrets, when I know that my child, my idolized one, is in danger, which I fear she Is. Samp," called he, saddle Jetty and Brunoqulckly. There Is no time to be lost." Then walking the floor in his distress of mind, he wrung his hands murmuring, "Where, oh, where can she be? Heaven give me strength to bear the blow, which seems already too heavy, and grant that my suspicious may prove unfounded!" "Norman!" exclaimed Mrs. Hewitt, with a piercing shriek. "Oh, God, restore tny chllilP' and she sank upon the floor senseless. Calling Ki.zy, who as yet knew not that Rifscy was gone, the Colonel helped her place his wife upon the sofa, where, leaving her under the care of that faith ful servant, lie nnd his friends sat off in search of the lost ones. As soon as Mrs. Hewitt recovered her self, seeing Klzzy seated beside her, she informed her of what had transpired by her incoherent ravings. The poor old woman, in an agony of grief, threw np her arms, exclaiming: 'Ris am all I got. Oh, Lord, be pleased to return her once more to her poor heart-broken ole muddcr. My chile! my poor, dear Ris, oh, ills am offul! offul!" and dropping upon the foot-stool, she wept out her sorrow in silence, while her mistress lay moaning nnd calling upon tho name of her child. Sullivan on Suffrage. Hon. P. C. Sullivan, the editor and publisher of the Liberal Hepubltcaiii ex presses himself as folidws in regard to Woman Suffrage: There cau be 110 doubt but that the fourteenth plank In tho Republican platform, is cither a recognition of the rights of women to vote, or a hypocriti cal nroclamation for the express nur- pose or catching some 01 tiicnouie wom en of this country, who are giving their . . . . ... -.. time and talents to tho cause or equal rights, and thereby secure their umu ence in the coming campaign. Now we recognize among the most rormost and nllaut In tho light tlie editor of the New Nokthwest, aud feel and say all honor to her able ellbrts, sacrificing and uncompromising spirit; but we believe that, although the Republicans have a largo majority in the legislature (Grant Republicans), nothing can be accom plished, nor can we iiiaue ourselves iie- Iicvo that the urani men 01 uregon en dorse that fourteenth piank; conse quently, wc honestly concluded that the New Noiithwest and many other pa triots In tho cause ot human rights have been deceived by tho lauguagc of the uniform of a nartv who are, 111 our opinion, enemies to that cause, which lies so near tneir uearis.

Dicky's Tuneral. In a far-away village in Scotland lived a widow and her children; she was not neh. ami ne was very delicate: she could lianlly ever get out of the house: she was very foud of her children, and they loved her dearly. Agnes, the elder girl, was her nurse; and Jessy, the little one, was her pet, and the pet of the whole family. But there was another pet in the house, too; that was a Dicky-bird, whose cage used to hang in the window, near which the sick widow's couch was placed. Tins jjicKy-Diru was very tame, anu would often hon out of the door of ita cage, and perch on tho widow's shoulder or head, and would even take crumbs from her fingers, or from between her lips. Sometimes, when the widow was too ill to do anything, suo wouiu smile a faint smile as the little Dicky honped about on the coverlet of her bed, putting its head on one side, its eyes shining like little black beads, and chirplugaud twit tering gently, as if it were sorry for its sick mistress and were asking her if she wero not better. But the widow was not to get bettor. and one sad summer day sho died, aud her children wept sore. A few days after, the neighbors met together, and tho coflln was put into a cart, for the church-yard was a long way oil', over the hills, aud tho neighbors waikeu be hind tho cart with the willow's sons, who were tho chief mourners, and for the first time in their lives the boyssaw an open grave, and they saw the body of their dear mother ict-uowii lino it, aim thev saw the sexton fill tho grave witii earth, and sadly they came home in the empty cart. Then m a few days they had to leave their own home, and go to live with an aunt, in another part of tho village. m. t 1 L . t . A..!-.. J.!. II u.ucy mm uui uiuvu iu iaivu wiiu mum, but one thing they took much care of. and that was the cage with Dicky in it; for Dicky always rcmiudcd tliem of their mother, who had uccu so ionu oi him and so good to them. But Dicky did not seem to be tne samo bird in the new home. He did not care to hop out of his cage; he sat on the .,rn1. lita fivttlinrs nnffral out nnd 1 ills eyes dull, and took no notice or tho i . . - ... I - T . II.. chiming or cheeping with which the1 children tried to rouse him. ! Aud a few mornings after they had moved to the new house Dicky was found lying on his hack, at tlie bottom of Ills cage, quite dead. Had Dicky died of a broken heart? Who can tell ? The children were all very sad when they found that poor Dicky was dead. Little Jessy cried bitterly, and even Archie, t,he biggest boy, could hardly keep his tears back, though his aunt had said to Jessy that it was foolish to cry about a dead bird. The aunt was not unkind at heart, but she was a bustling woman, witii a great deal to do, ami she did not understand the chil dren's sorrow, or their love for Dicky, nnd so she said to them, as 11 103 stood round the cage, "Now, children, off witii you; and you'd better take the dead bird away, and throw it into the ash-place in tlie yard." Archie took up the poor dead Dicky and went out, and the other children followed him; but lie could not bear to throw away the little bin! that his mother had been so fond of; so he went to me gantcn ami sai. uown on a seat there, ami the other children gathered round mm, ami they all gazed with ! e dead net. and I tearful eyes at the little dead pet, and smoothed and stroked Its feathers. I These children could not do as some of : tlic readers of Chatterbox have done with their canary when it has died ied send it to a bird-stuileHs to have 'it stuffed and put under a glass shade; they knew nothing about this plan; but they, too, felt that they would not like to throw the dead bird among the ashes and rubbish of the house. Then Davie, the youngest boy, pro posed that they should do with Dicky as , tho men nail done with tneir ucari mother when she died, and that they 1 1. It t 111. 1, Mo J I ailUUIU fill lb 111 . UUlJ-UVIlt. So tlie boys went and got Jessy's little : cart, and filled it with leaves, and put a j towel over them, aud arched some green boughs over it; and then they laid the dead bird on the towel, and they walked in a little procession to tiic corner ot a pretty field that was near a wood, not far from the house; and one of tho boys dug a tiny grave, like that they had seen in the church-yard, and there with real sorrow these simple children uuricd their mother's pet, and stuck in the green boughs all around to mark the place. And now that you have heard the story of Dicky's funeral, I hope you don't think it was so silly of tiioso big boys, and that rather big girlr to do as they did. At any rate, if you think so, T t tmf V ? f txiQ flirt 4 Itmtrrlif' ff ew often their motlior had foniUod Dicky that niado them bury Hun so tenderly; aud I think that the love which children show to a mother, if she be living, and even more if she bo dead, is never silly, uut is always ueautuui. WlIEISE THE "COXKOUXDKD MOTH- kk" was. A gentleman who came up the Hudson, tells this story: "I no ticed," he said, "a serious looking man, who looked as if he might have been a clerk or book-keeper. The man seemed to he caring lor a crying uaoy, and was doing everything he could to still its sobs. As the child became restless in the berth, the gentleman took it in his arms and carried It to and fro in the cabin. Tlie sobs of the child irritated a rich man, who was trying to read, until lie blurted out loud enough for the father to hear "What does he want to disturb the whole cabin with thatd-l baby for?" j Tho man only nestled tho baby more quietly iu his arms, without saying a word, men me uauy souueu agum.
