PtxsiDtHT Grart. It is not often
tbat a public man so successfully over
rides detraction and calumny as Gen
eral Grant bas done. Ever since bis
election be has encountered more ma
licious slander and libels than any
public officer io our history. Tbe
libels tbat bave been hurled at his chai
acter bave been of tbe very worst sort
possible such as cBarges of venality
and fraud charges that bave been
woven with the most consummate skill
into a web of fiction, bearing all tbe
veri-similitude that art eonld give it
Grant is the most unguarded man that
ever stood conspicioosly before tbe peo
pie ; and every advantage, ha been
taken or nis Ingenuonsnes to se,
core a woof for tbe tissue of lies tbat
bis enemies bave told.- These false
boeds bave been span, too, with tbe
most persevering obstinacy, and the
most systematic artfulness of any lies
ever fabricated against an innocent
man. - r
But Grant bas lived them all down
He stands to-day at tbe bead of tbe
nation without a siogle one of these
calumnies believed by any mentionabl
number of the people of this country
He holds np his bead, unscathed by
tbe arrows of persecution, and hi
character is purer and brighter in -the
estimation of three-fourths of tbe in
habitant of tbe Union to-day than
wbea be was tbe admired and beloved
commander of onr army on bis return
from victory four years and a half ago,
The simple fact is tbat Grant is an
booest man. So his reputation to-day,
after all tbe abuse and malignity an
villainy tbat bas been encountered, i
purer and brighter than ever. Chicago

A Man Bagged Against bis Will.
A most ludicrous scene transpired a
short time since, Lot a thousand miles
from this city, which, though a little
nnoving to tbe persons immediately
nlerested, was just so innocent and
funny that we cannot refrain from git-
ng tbe general outlines, suppressing
names, ot coarse:
Two sprightly and beautiful young
adies were visiting their cousin, an
other sprightly and beautiful young
lady, who, like ber guests, was of tbat
happy age wbicb turns everything into
fun and merriment. If tbe truth were
told, we fear we would bave to record
tbese misses just a little bit fast.
Tbey were food of playing practical
nkes, and were continually playing all
sorts of little pranks with each otber.
All tbree occupied a-room on tbe
ground floor, and cuddled in one bed.
Two young ladies attended a party
on the nigbt in question, and did not
get borne until balf-past twelve o'clock
tbat night. As it was late, tbey. con
cluded not to disturb tbe household, so
tbey quietly stepped into this room
through the low open window.
In about balf an hour after tbey bad
left for tbe party, a young Methodist
minister called at the bouse tbey were
staying, and craved for a nights lodg-
ng. which of course was granted. As
ministers always bave the best of every
thing, tbe old lady put bim to sleep in
tbe best room, and tbe young lady
Fannie) wbo bad not gone to the
party, was entrnslen witn tbe duty ot
silting up for tbe absent-ones, and in
forming tbem of the change of rooms.
She took up her post in tbe parlor, and
a the night was sultry, sleep overcame
ber, and sbe departed on an excursion
to tbe land of dreams.
We will now return to tbe young
ladies wbo bad gone to tbeir rocm
brough tbe window. By the dim light
of tbe moonbeams, as tbey struggled
through tbe curtains, tbe young Jadies
were enabled to descry tbe outlines of
Fannie (as tnej supposed) ensconsed
in tbe middle or the bed. tney saw
more to wit, a pair of boots. Tbey
saw all; Fannie bad set tbe boots io
the room to give tbem a scare. . They
put tbeir beads together and determined
to turn tbe tables on Der. anentiy
they disrobed, and steatbly as cats tbey
took tbeir position on each side of the
bed. At a given signal toey com
imped ioto bed, one on each side of
tbe unronconcious parson, laughing
and screaming, "Ob, what a man I Ob,
what a muni' and gave tbe poor be-
ildered minister such a promiscuous
bugging and tusseling as few parsons
get in tbe course of a lifetime. .
Tbe noise of tbe proceeding awoxe
the old lady, who was sleeping in an
adjoining room. Sbe comprehend
ed tbe situation in a moment, and
rushing to tbe room, she opened the
door and exclaimed: 'Gracious, it's a
man 1 it's a man sure enough I" There
was one prolonged and consolidated
scream, a flash of muslin through the
door, and all was over.
Tablb Conversation. You will find
that" a great deal of character is impart
ed and received at the table. Parents
too often forget this : and, therefore,
instead of swallowing your food in si
lence, instead of brooding over your
business; ins.ead of severely talking
about others, let the conversation at
tbe table be genial, kind, social and
cheering. Don't bring disagreeable
things to the table in your conversa
tion, any more than you would in your
dishes. For this reason, too, tbe more
good company you bave at your table
is an educator to tbe family. Hence
tbe intelligence and tbe refinement and
appropriate behavior of a family wbicb
is given to hospitality. Never feel that
intelligent visitors can be anything but
a blessing to yon and yours. How few
bave lolly gotten bold of tbe fact tbat
company and conversation at tbe taljle
are no small part or education.

after at receiving a beautiful ring, with

Th "Colo-rid Cosorissmak. The
Wasbfcigton correspondent of the New
YoA DiraU, December 1 2tb, say :
; For the first time In tbe history cf
th Government a negro was sworn in!
to-day as a member of the House of
Representatives. The fortunate Indi
vidual is J. W. Rainey, and succeeds
B. F. Whittemore, of cadetship selling
notoriety, from South Carolina. Rai
ney war. elected to aerve out - the bal
ance of Wbittemore's term in the pres
ent Congress. On tbe opening of the
session, about a week ago, there were
numerous Inquiries for the "negro
member,' and to-day, when be put io
an appearance for tbe first time, be was
the center of attraction oa the floor,
as well as ia tbe galleries. A light
mulatto, with long, dark, straight,
glossy bair, busby side whiskers and
decidedly Caucasian features, be looks
more like a Cuban than a negro. In
this respect he is quite unlike tbe ne
gro Senator from Mississippi, Revels,
who has tbe African features, as well
as woolly bair. Rainey came forward
at the request of the Speaker, after his
credentials bad been presented, and
amid perfect silence took the iron clad
oath. He did not meet with as warm
a reception on tbe part of tbe members
as Revels did la tbe Senate when be
took his seat in tbat body. As he
nassed toward bis seat in the rear of
the Hall tbe southeast corner tbe
only member who thought it wortb
while to sbake band with bim was
Horace Maynard, of Tennessee. Wben
be bad reached bis place, two or tbree

All About a Cavry. An incident
really deserving tbe epithet of tragi
comic took place lately at Antwerp
Madame, a yoong married woman, bad
a canary, which Monsieur,, her young
busband, had neglected toTt-W, a for
eelfalness which to the grief and rage
of tbe lady resulted In tbe death of tbe
pet. Resolved, bowever, oa retribu
tion, she began, so soon as ber first
access of grief was spent, un'iraidiog
ber lord and master with bitter re
proaches, and presently, on bin adding
fuel to the fi ime, dashed a pot of milk
upon tbe floor. This was followed by
a general smash of property on botb
sides, and at length Madame went so
far as to take a very effective shot with
a fragment at Monsieur, wbo presently
was bathed in blood. On seeing this
the woman rushed from tbe boose
shrieking "I bave murdered my bus
bund," and poeitively threw herself
into tbe river, but a boatman hauled
her out just as tbe husband came pant
ing to te rescue. Like the fairy
stories, it all eods very happily, for tbe
two fools returned home, where the
husband, wbo lit a big fire to dry ber.
will now probably recognize tbe sound
ness of the advice, "Never quarrel with
your wife, as you will only have to
make it up, and also pay for tbe recon
ciliation." ;

Indians; but that of course, is tbe
fault of my education. Tbe first nigbt
after its arrival my wife and I sat up
all night watching ir, expecting ot
course, tbe thing would play; but nary
tune did we gel. We called in some
of our neiitbbers the next rnorniog,
and found tbat it n quired some one to
play ill Here was a fix. Neither of
us can play a note, and ibe question is
what do we want with it t ary a
child or any one else to play on it, un
it ss, it might be the kitchen " pot
wbolliper, and we fear she might color

gested there must be a place to wind it

Goivo to Chcrcd. Many years ago,
wben Daniel Webster stood at the sum
mit of bis commanding itiflu'Dce, up
on a certain Sabbath he entered a
small Methodist Cburcb in tbe vicinity
of Washington. Tbe number of per
sons In attendance was few, and the
bouse and furniture were of a very in
ferior description. Tbe preacher was
a plain, unlettered man, wbo bad nev
er enjoyed any advantages of educa
tion, but wbo did possess a heart
warmed by tbe glow and excellence ot
the gotpvl. At tbe .close of tbe ser
vices, as Mr. Webster was leaving ibe
bouse, a ckrk of one of tbe depart
ments wbo bad been present, accosted
Mr. Webster, and expressed regret that
a man of his eminence and extensive
information should bave been com
pelled to listen to so plain a discouree.
You mistake," replied Mr. Websltr ;
" I have been deeply interested and
moved by tbe sermon. As you say,
tbe preacher has ut learning from the
books, but be bas evidently been in
structed by tbe highest of teachers

The Chirp of tbe Cricket.
by siMoa rtJRB.
There's a sort of a melancholy charm
about tbe siogin' of tbese 'ere crickets.
Don't yon notice 'em, sort of vibratin' '
like? Folks say tbey bave kind of har
monicoms in their sides tbat tbey keep
a blowia', and some say tbey rub tbei
bind legs together, but 1 don't Know
about that. 'T any lay, I've stood at
this yere gate hundreds of nights every
August and listened to em and couia
almost tell ye wbat they're trying to
get off. Don't you notice bow tbey all
keep together? Ooce in a while tbey
get out of time; I reckon tbe -young
ones get frisky and get ahead of tbe
old ooes, but pretty soon an old
double bass one '11 strike in powerfol,
and bring 'em all ronnd right a?ain;
and then tbey all go it, whirr, wbirr,
whirr, as regular as our old clock in
the kitchen. But, as I was sayin', it's
sort of melancbo y to me, and I presume
to say I've cried a barrel full over it.
That's wbat makes this 'ere tanry look
so fresh and green, while tbat catnip
there is all dried np. ' 'What's tbe
reason?' Wal, ef you don't mind step
pin' out behind tbe barn, ont of hear
iu', I'd just as lief tell you, but it mite
make fe.elin' if anybody should happen
to bear me. There, sir, on this 'ere
I07. .
You see, I was young onct, jest
about your age, nigh onto nineteen,
ain't you? Yes, so I reckoned. Wal, I
was nineteen at about your age, and I
apose I was everege smart. Leastwiso,
I bed a good bringiu' op, and could
read and rite and cipber very fair.
Wben I was seventeen father put me to
tbs cooper's trade. Tbat was about
the only trade there was in this town
then, aod IKngbam buckets and boxes,
ye know, used to be famous. Wby, I
remember wben there warn't a bouse
within two miles of father's tbat didn't
bave a cooler's shop to it, and tbey
used to think a feller was an upstart
that wanted to.be anything bnt a coop
er. -
S'pose you know sutbin' about gals
yourself, don't you? Yes, so I reckon
ed. There am t many boys with rich
farthers like your'n but wbat knows
gals enough, I'll vector'. They're a
curis set, aod ought to be bewared of
more'n they are j still, yet, I wouldn't
say nothin to set yoa agin em, as I
as I dare say you have your own idces
about em.
My experience began tbe summer
after tbe Morrisons moved into tbe
next Louse to my boss's. Tbey was
very respectable folks for tbem times,
and good neighbors, fur's I know, but
they bad a gal about eigbtten, wbo
played tbe mischief in tbe village and
set us fellows at sword's points in less
ban no time, Tbe trouble was, sbe
favored everybody in general and no
body in pamtkilar. But I rather bad
tbe advantage of the rest on 'em, as
our shop was close to their garden
and I bad tbe best chance in the world
to see ber.
One day, wben I was outside split-
tin' staves, sbe came out into tbe gar
den, and went to weedin' round
amongst tbe beets and onions. I never
spoke to ber nor looked ber in tbe face
scurcelv, aod can cal'late how I felt
wbeo she come up to tbe fence and
joke to me.
" What's all them pieces for you're
makin 7 says sbe.
1 To make buckets on,' says I, and I
s pose I colored up likeabiled lobster
'I know tbat well enough,' says she
'but wbat part of the buckets are they
for?'
'Staves.' ssys I.
'Then you must be a etaver,' sys
sbe, and sbe laughed line a good one
at th joke, though somehow it didn't
seem like much of a j'ike to me.
Sbe was mighty handsome, no mis
take ; but sbe had such snappin black
eyes and such awful white teeth, tbat
1 wasn't quite certain whether I liked
ber or not. Wben sbe looked at yon,
you could sort of feel gimlet boles goio
through you, and when sbe laughed,
you bait believed sue couiq Dim as
well if she tooka sution. But I knew
half the fellers were after her, and I
was rather proud to bave ber take no
tice of me, who baduU any money nor
eood looks in partikler for a recom
mend.
But there's no cal'latia on people's
fancies, she came out to talk with
me about every day tbat summer, and
I fell dead in love with ber. But for
all tbat, she didn't give me no comfort.
Sbe was gallivanlin' round witb all
tbe fellers. Sbe would go to the beach
and picnics and balls witb one another
while I con Id ot afford to take her any
where ; and then she d poke fun at
me and sarse me a good deal more
than I'd stand from any bod v now.
It went on that way till 1 got pretty
desperate, and one evenio', when I was
setteu' out oo the pile of logs, she came
out toward me and commenced jokin
and laugbio' at me, as she all era did.
She sat down ou a log side of me, and
I don t know bow it was, but it was
kind ot dark, and finally, somehow, I
bad my arm round ber waUt. I liked
it be hanged if I didn't, and I
thought she did, and at last I kissed
ber all of a sudden. Sbe gave me
stiogin' slap side of tbe head, and says
she :
There,' says she, "don't you do tbat
agin 1
But I did do it igin till I got pretty
used to it, and alter gittin' it on my
tougue'a end and swallerin' on it
dozen timts, I finally blurted out a
awk'ard as could be, aod asked her if
sbe d have me.
'No 1 you great fool,' says she, aod
sbe jumped up and ran Lome.
I was pretty well took down, you'd
better believe. I set on tbem logs for
hours. Tbe crickets were puttin' Jn
tbeir loudest, and that ' no' was rlngin'
in my ears like a conk shell. That's
wben I first noticed the crickets par
tikler. aod 1 never hear 'era without
tbinkin' of tbat time. I felt awful bad,
aod they seemed as if they were tryiu'
to cheer me up. I was tbinkin' no,
no, no, all the time, and they were
cbirpin yes. yes, yes.
For two or three months I didn't
speak to tbe girl, nor hardly look at
ber. Sbe allers looked up to the shop
window when she went by, but I be
lieved sbe was only tryio' to pester
me, and so I only eaw her out of the
corner of mv eve. Oo day, io tbe
winter, 1 was at work alone in tbeshop
1 was drivin' on hoops with a rap tap
tun. rao-tsD-taD. turnin' the bucket
round between the taps yoo've beard
tbat sound often 'nough in Hingham
wben who sbsuld pop in but Amoretta
that was ber name and set right
down on a bench in front of me. Vt e
Daaaed a how d'e do and said we were
quite strangers, bnt oion't get to vaia
in' in the old war. Sbe looked nicer n
ever, with her winter cfo'es on, and a
gap little kiss-me-qnick on her head,
and I did sort of wish things were in
tbe old style: but I was bound 1
wouldn't be tbe first to mention it.
She tried bard enough to draw me out
but I wasn't sure she wa'a't foolin',
and 1 didn't take tbe bait at all.
Finally says sbe, ' John ;' and ssys
'I What? ' -
You didn't think I meant anything
that nigbt out on the logs, did you 7
' I thought I didn't need any die
tionarv.' sa'VS I.
Wby, John, I was only jokin," says
she. ' I thought you koowed enougn
for that: but wben I fonnd you was
such a fool, I was mad, and I thought
I d let you suffer for it. But 1 m sorry
now, aod I bope yon won t think notb
in' more aoout it.'
' Do you mean it, Amoretta?' says I
Of coorse I do,' says sbe.
There wa'n't no more hoop drnv on
for one balf bonr, yoa can cal late,
I don't believe a fo'in-nich tub would
bold all tbe kisses I give tbat girl, nor
a dumb-betty tnb nutber. And wbea
sbe told m sbe bad ber fixin'a all
ready - to be married, I felt a slick as
a pile of ehi-nks.
We was married in tbe spring, aod
father set me up witb a cooper' shop
of my own, and we went to housekeep
in' regular fashion. For a while thing
wa all boney, and then it begna to
wear off a little. I found the hadn't
forgot bow to bore them gimlet boles
in a fellow, and she showed them
teeth of ber'n a little too much for
comfort. But I wa allers ready to
knock under, and kept tbe peace a if
I was under a thousand dol ar bonds.
Sbe aller said sbe dida't care much fur
children, and though sbe seemed to
take to tbe first one well enough, I
fjund I got riddled with the gimlet
holes worse 'n ever. -
The next two babies made tbe mat
ter vnm and wnrae. and I gnt in th
way of staying at tbe shop all day and
goio' over to tbe store of nights.
Heavens knows I'd bev been glad to
bev staid to home, but sbe had a habit
of sayin' she did't want m round in
.'0 way, and, my room wa belter 'n
my company.
But tbe twins come finally ,vand then
I reckoned I rai a goner. She laid
'em to me. With all the snap of ber
black eyes, and tbe grit or ber white
teeth, sbe laid 'em to me. If you only
bad a realism' sense of wbat that
meant, you'd think all the sins of all
your grandfathers clear back to Adam
wss piled onto your blasted head.
There wa'n't no peace nowhere. When
sbe couldn't boon' me in the house,
she'd houn' me to the shop, and she'd
end tbe boy to tbe store for me nights.
juatfortbe take of boun'tn' me when
I got borne. As sbe grew faircer n
faircer I grew meeker 'n' meeker. There
wan't notbin' I wouldn't do to please
ber, and there wa'n't notbin' I could
do to please ber. The neighbors coulJ
bear her jawin' half a mile away.
and sbe got so 't she jawed everybody
tbat come near tbe bouse. Tbe baker
and tbe butcher bad to take it, till tbey
swore tbey wouldu t call again; and
then I bad to gofer tbe biead aod meat,
and bad to take it because I did bave
to go. 'Cordio to ber talk, me and
the five children was the cause ot all
tie trouble there was in tbe world. If
i; rained Mondays, I was to blame, and
if tbe bread didn't rise good, tbe twins
bad to take it. So, yon see, between
us all we bad a pretty tough time.
Wal, things wait on tbat way till
about this time tbree years ago, wben,
all of a sudden, I found my wife bad
cleared out with uve bundred dollars
I bad drawed out of tbe bank to pay
on a mortgage on tbe bonse that was
comin' due next day. To tell tbe
t'Uih, I missed the money tbe most.
but l arranged toe mortgage with a
neighbor and said notbin' about the
loss. Folks was a good daal more ex
cited about it than I was, and won
dered wby I didn't try to bunt ber up ;
but, thinks I to myself, five hundred
dollars is gettin red of ber pretty
cheap. Nobody could imagine where
or bow she bad gone, only some of tbe
neighbors bad seen a peddler tbat
stopped at the bouse a good deal, and
said tbey shouldn't wonder if 'twas
bim.
What set otber people to worryln'
was a comfort to me. My sister came
dowo from Saappitand kep' bouse for
n e, aod we lived as quiet and con
tented as ever you see. Tbe babies
grew fat aud handsome, and I got rid
of my rbeumatiz in less n two months
ALd so it went on tor just about a
year, wben one nigbt I was stan in out
to tbe gate smokio and Iistenin to tbe
crickets, as I len bad a fancy o
doin' ever since I p ipped tbe quesiioo
and was tbinkin bow sort o comfort
able 1 was.wben I see a woman comin'
up toward tbe bouse. I reckoned it
was some of tbe neighbors conito in
to see Belinda tbat s my sister. It
was so dark I couldn't see ber face,
but I thought it was Miss Puckers, a
perky old maid that lives down next to
Smudge's, and you can cal'late I was
kind of surprised wben sbe come up to
me and threw ber arms around my neck
aad says, Ob John I' and theu bust
out a cryin like a baby. The voice
was so strange tbat I couldn't guess
wbo it was. I was io a pretty fix,
with a woman I didn't know bangio'
on to my neck like a cat-k boop, aod
me a grass widderer with three chil
dren and a pair of twins.
But when sbe aid between her sobs
Ob- John, I wao't to come back,' I
know'd her in a minute. It was A mo
retta. I felt as it tbe great sbadder of
my life had come over me again, and I
started back and left her stao'iu' alone,
and never said a word.
'Ob John,' says she again, coverio'
her face with ber bands and leaniu'
agin tbe gate post, ' do take me back.
I know 1 tare wronged you, but not as
much as you think,' and then sbe clung
to me again, and I almost give in. It
was moat as still as death You could
bear tbe corn grow, aud the crickets
chirp, and notbin' else but ber sobs
and my thick oreatb. I had always
believed she bad done me tbe worst of
wroogs, and to bear ber deny it gave a
ttraoge comfort. Should I believe ber?
Tbe crickets said yes, yes, yes,' as
they did when I sat ou the pile of logs
tbat bitter nigbt ; and I thought of tbe
days wben we first loved each otber,
and tbe same old ferlin came over me
just as strong as ever. So I put my
arms around her and kissed ber, and
she almost fainted away. I couldn't
guess wbat was before me, but it was
Amoretta. and for the sake of times
lonir oast I kissed her over and over
strain.
Wtien sbe got so's to talk, sbe told
me the whole story, Sbe bad gone off
with tbe peddler. She took tbe five
bundred dullavsao'd give it to bim, and
thev started for the West. But at
Spring6e!d be left the cars, to get
cigar, be said, and sbe never saw bim
again, though tbe thought be was in
the smokio' car till tbe got to Albany,
and then sbe found be bad cleared
Tben sbe ires down. Sbe didn't know
a soul io Albaov or anywheres about
tbere, and she hadn't a cent of money,
and sbe wouldn't 'a' let me known
where sbe was for tbe world. For
long time she bad to beg work from
bouse to bonse to keep herself from
starvin' till fioally sbe was took tick
aod sent to tbe almshouse, where she
like to died witb a fever. Wben sbe
got over It, tbe said sbe was a different
woman. Sbe told her story to tome
good folks sbe bad worked lor, and
tbey advisrd ber to come borne aod ask
me to take ber borne. . And no
says she, 'John, do take me back. I
have learnt to love you as we never did
before, and I will be a better wife to
you than ever you hoped to have ; you
shall never bave a oilier word dot
sour look from me as long as I live.
You were alwavs good to me when I
was the woret to you, and I am 'shamed
enougb of all my past life. Take me
back aod love me ever so little, and 1
will be contented, if I can only be near
von.'
WLat could I do but to say I'd for
give ber, though I was afraid, even
then, all the old sliadder hadn't gone ?
But sbe was my wile tbat I bad loved
throngb thick aod tbin, and sbe was
the mother of my five children, and I
kissed ber again and again to assure
her I bad really forgiven her.
And she bas proved as a good as ber
word." Sbe bat turned out to be tbe
best woman in the world. There' no
more gimlet boles and no more savage
teeth now, and tbe sorry old times seem
now just like a dream. Tbe sixth baby
has made us as bappy as bappy can be
and wben I listen to tbe crickets now
I only remember tbe nigbt wben Amo
retta came back to roe.
