THE CLEAR VISION.
1 did but dream. I never know
What charms our sternest season wore.
Was never yet the sky so blue,
Was never earth so white before.
Till now I never saw the glow
Of sunset on you hills of snow,
And never learned the bough’s designs
Of beauty in its leallless lines.
Did ever such a morning break
As that my custom windows sec ?_
Did ever such a; moonlight take
Weird photographs cf shrub and me 2
Run ever bells so wild and fleet
The music of the winter street 7
Was ever yet a sound by half
50 merry as you school-boy’s laugh ‘7
0 Earth! with gladness overfraught
No added charm thy face hath found;
Within my heart the change is wrought,
My footsteps make enchanted ground.
Fronl couch of pain and curtained room
Forth to thy light and air I come,
To find in all that meets my eyes
The freshness of a glad surprise.
Fair seem these winter days, and soon
Shall blow the warm west winds of spring,
To set the unbound rills in tune,
And hither urge the bluebird‘s wing.
The vales shall laugh in flowers, the woods
Grow misty green with leading buds,
And violets and windtlowers sway
Against the throbbing heart of May.
Break forth, my lips, iii praise, and own
The wiser love severelykind'; .
Since, richer "orits chastenlng grown,
I see, whereas I once was blind.
The world, 0 Father! hath not wronged
With loss the life by thee prolonged
But still, with every added year,
More beautiful thy works appear!
As" thou hast made thy world without,
Make thou more fair my world within;
Shins through its lingering clouds of doubt;
Rebuke its haunting shapes of sin;
Fill, brief or long, my granted span
Ollife with love to thee and man;
Strike when thou wilt the hour of rest,
But let my'lsst days be my best!
—-———
MARRIED ON HER TENTH BIIITII-
, DAY.
To speak of“ToveyBrothers” is, in fact,
to be guilty of a very unjustifiable misrepre-
sentation—as if the brothcrs were on an
equal footing. Whereas the title “Tovey and
Brother” explains itself, and enables any re—
flecting person to understand at once that
“Tovey” is Tovey pure and simple the head
of the firm : “Brother,” thgugh a Tovey too,
is only with a limitation.
When you enter their place of business you
might wonder what it is they deal in. A
few scores oflittle bottles ranged on shelves,
and filled with various-colored liquids and
powders; a few scores of little polished mn-'
hogany cases, eaéh with its printed Latin
label, that is all.
I remember that office as a model of staid
decorum and gayoty. \Everything went on
as if by machinery. There was a time for
everything, and everything done in its time.
I could have found it easy to believe the
very height of each clerk’s collar \ 'as regula-
ted by ofiicc by-law. No starch has ever yet
been made, however, so still‘ that a man can-
not laugh in it ; and a, good deal of quiet fun
went on amidst the‘ inOnotony of business.
Many a joke was passed round from stool to
stool, and I think I never called there once
Without hearing some new witticism,i.or
some'latest joke of Mr. Rasper’s, whose liu-
mor, I suppose, must have depended much
on manner, tone, and the little accidents of
place which could not be rcudcrcd on paper.
Mr. Rasper’s work, and his way of doing
it, were like his conVersation, light and
sprightly. He moved about with an elastic
quick stop, as if he had a difficulty to keep
from ”dancing. He adorned his writing with
flourishes until it was hardly legible. And
when Mr.;Splutter tried to make him discon-
tinue these embellishments he gave such
whimsical reasons for their continuance that
he always laughed the manager out of his at-
tempt to find fault.
’Mr. Bog was heavy and solid. His hand-
writing was as regular as engraving. His
ledger had not a blot in it from beginning to
end. And when any figure in it had to be
altered it was done so neatly as to be almost
an improvement. He was a plodding, thor-
oughly reliable man, and he had never- been
known by any one in the office to make a
joke; and had not often they said been made
to comprehend one. Mr. Rasper never made
anything else, and saw them where others
intended no such thing. Mr. Bog made up,
however, for his dullness, by the frankness
with which he admitted it, and by his inva-
riable good temper. It was quite impossible
to put him out, and when the suspicion
came across him, as it did now and then, that
Raspcr had been hammering at him for an
hour or more, he bore no malice.
There was, however, one matter in which
all in the office concurred that they had a
right to find fault with Bog, He was un-
married, and the rest were maaricd men.
And on this shortcomingone and all were
determined that he should have no peace.
Not a day past but some new hypothesis was
started as to the reason of continuing a bach-
elor, not a day without some new name being
suggested to him as that of a lady with
whom he might yeumve a chance. To all
of which suggestions Mr. Bog persistently
turned a deaf car. A respite came to him
twice a year from all this worrying.
Twice a year Mr. Bog went on his travels
for about a month at a time. For it was the
custom of the house to let their traveling be
done by the clerks, instead of keeping, trav-
elers to do nothing else. In this way one or
two of them were always out, and all of them
in turn of pleasant relief from the monoto‘ny
of oilice life.
“Now Bog,” Mr. Rasper would say, “you
must try and manage it this journey. Rep-
resent your case once more to that Leicester
girl, and perhaps she'll change her mind.”
It was one of Mr. Raspcr’s friendly assump-
tions that Mr. Bog had been rejected in every
town he went to, and Leicester being in his
round, it was usually the Leciester girl who
was recommended for a second trial.
And thus the joke was repeated year after
year, till at last Mr. Bog’s case came to be
considered by all so thoroughly hopeless that
if he had come some morning in a pink vest
and lemon tights, no one would have thought
itghalf so surprising as that he should really
take Mr. Rasper’s advice.
Let the reader judge, therefore, for himself
with what effect this bomshell fell in the of:
fice four days after Mr. Bog was Supposed to
have started on his journey. -
The missile came by post in the shape of
a. newspaper addressed to Mr. Raspcr. It
was provincial paper, not from Leicester, but
from a city in quite another quarter.
Mr. Kasper had unfolded it, and looked it
carelessly over—had read several items of
local news, town council squabbles, work-
housc board meetings, and other matters in
which he took not the slightest interest, and
was about to toss it into the waste basket,
when his eye caught sight of a couple of
crosses evidently made for the purpose of at-
tracting attention.
But even then he did not at once bit the
right column. “Hunting figures for next
week: what on earth do I care abouttheni?”
——‘liops two pounds cwt. liighcr;’ well,if they
don’t raise beer it doesn’t matter to me.
What does the old goose mean by marking
those ‘3”
At lost, however, he did find it, and was
struck for a moment speechless.
“Well, by Jove," he said at last, “this is
something. But I don’t believe it. Here‘s
Bog gone and put a notice in the paper to
make us believe he has got married. Listen,
here it is :”
“Same day, at St. Ambrose in this city,by
,tlie Rev. Edward Wheeler, the rector, Mr.
i
only daughter of the late Theodore Phillips,
Esq, of Kingston, Jamaica.”
ed, editorially apparently. .
["Unusual interest attached to this wed-
ding, from the fact of the bride being married
—as we are permitted to state—on her tenth
birtliday."]
“Very fair, indeed, Mr. Bog,“ said Rasper,
as he finished; “very creditable for a first
joke—only it is a little overdone. You’ll
do betteriicxt time. Now, my merry incn
what do you think of it it”
Not one in the office believed a word of it,
of course. _ “Neither do I,” said 'Rasper;
“but it really is very fair forBog. I must go
and show it to Splatter.”
But at that moment Mr. Splatter came in,
and On being tendered the newspapcr waived
the oil‘cr, and said, “All, I know all about it.
Bog’s wedding—that’s what you want me to
look at, isn’t it? Bless you, I’ve knbwn itfor
more than a week. Bog told me and Mr.
Charles, but made us promise to keep the sc-
cret till it was all over. He goes mooning
with his bride for two or three weeks, and
then he takes her with him on his round.
You won't see him here again this six weeks.
He was married the very morning after he
left here. He asked inc to-be present, but I .
could not. go. Now Mr. Rasper, how do you
feel? Your occupation is gone. You will
have nothing to chaff him about.”
“0, stop a minute,“ cried Raspcr. “Do
you know all about this, too 3" And he read
him the editorial note about tlie“tenthbirtll-
day”
twas Mr. Spliittcr‘s turn now to be sur-
prised.
“Nonscnsei” he said; “let me see.”
taking the paper, he read it for himself.
can’t be true.”
“ ‘Late of Kingston, Jmnaiczi.’
she ?" asked Rasper.
“Some family connection, I understood
him,” said Mr. Splutter. “They do marry
very young, I have been told, in those hot
climates. But in England—it is impossible.
Bog would not have done such a thing. It‘s
all nonsense!” And he sliuthimsclf into his
owu room.
During the six following weeks. oer. Bog’s
absence," be furnished more convcrsation
to the office, and was the subject of more
jokes on the part of Mr. Rasper, even than if
he hadbecu present. Speculation exhausted
itself as to the reality of this extraOrdinary
editorial note. At. last the conviction grad-
ually established itself that it was literally
true; that Bog having married some more
child from a boarding- school—having, in fact,
probably, run off with her for the sake of
her money, and knowing he could not possi-
bly conceal the fact of her being a child, had
iniprucleiitly determined to brazen his mis-
deed out of his way before them and the
world.
“I’ll be bound he’ll bring her down to the
office in a short frock " said Mr. Rasper, “and
carry her; in, on his arm."
While his osvn character was sutl‘erhig,
and while his fellow clerks were thus dis-
cussing the chances of finding‘in hiln on his
return any small remains of honor and mo-
rality, Mr. Bog’s travels with his bride were
drawing neat; to an end. He wrote from one
of his resting places :
“My Dear Mr. Splatter: I purpose being
in town again on Tuesday evening next’but
shall not come back to business until the be-
ginning of the following week. Will you
oblige me and my wife by giving us your
company on Friday evening, and by inviting
for me all of my confrerea of the office for the
same eveninrr. I hate the ceremony of card-
ing, and calling, and sitting in state to re-
ceive' visits from old friends, and so does
my wife. If they will all take it, therefore,
in this informal way, that. we shall be glad
to see them—well, glad we shall be; and if
thev won‘t, we shall be sorry."
“Friday evening, at seven; for what we
will call our ‘small and early ;’ being, in fact
for office people only.
“Yours ever, T. F. R.
This letter, which came on Monday morn-
ing, was dealt with by Mr. Splatter in his
usual prompt and business like way. He
simply turned up one corner of it, wrote on
the back of it in red ink, “I shall go, and
hope you all will,” and sent it out to Mr.
Rasper, to be handed round. .
The decision come to unanimously,in spite
of the sentence of condemnation passed on
poor Bog. was that they would go, all who
could, if it. were only for the sake of having
an early sight at the bride, and giving the
bridegroom one chance ofrcinstating himself
in their good graces.
When the evening came they took a con-
ple of cabs, and all went down together—
Mr. Splatter, my father, Raspcr, Gibbs, and
all the rest of them—they having agreed on
a convenient point of meeting before they
left the office.
It was Mr. Bog himself who received his
company in his cozy well-furnished drawing
room up stairs, for be was a man of some
little means, and had everything very com-
fortable about him.
“Well, Kasper," he said,’after the first
hand~sllakiiig, “your constant dropping has
worn away the stone at last. I could not
stand it any longer, you see. Is it to be
peace between us now, or war!"
“I don’t quite know," said Kasper, laugh-
ing; “we shall see."
“You had better not make, it. war,” said
Mr. Splutter, “for Bog’s holiday seemes to
have put him in rare fighting order; better
say peace.”
Whereupon Dog, in his clumsy way, spar-
red at Rasper on the hearth-rug, as if to de-
monstratc with what ease he could .double
him up.
“I shall think about it." said Raspcr; “and
before deciding should like to see the ‘tetcr-
rima- called belli,’ if that is what my Old Latin
grammar used to call another fair one.”
“Here,” said Mr. Dog, “in good time she
comes. 'Friends, allow me. My wife, Mrs.
Bog, and her cousin, Miss Wheeler," And
in come the two ladies as he spoke. One
was of middle age, or apparently somewhat
over the middle age, wearing spectacles,
with a niatronly look and a good-tempered
face, very pleasant to look upon. "The
cousin," said Mr. Rasper, “comes to keep
house till the child wife is of ago. Just as
I thought.” The other was a merry, laugh—
ing girl, seemingly of sixteen. or seventeen,
though possibly she. might be younger.
Raspcr shook his head and looked grave at
the sight of her.
“Ext-.ctly as we predicted,” he said to his
neighbor; “she‘s quite a child. Really, this
is a bad business; but it is always so when
men put off too long. Ali,.Bog, Bog, she‘ll
be a handsome young widow, my old friend,
when you and I are gone."
He went over nevertheless, and made,
small talk to the young girl by the piano.
“Been long in England ‘2” he asked her,
among other things.
"No,” she said; “only about a month be—
fore the wedding.” '
“Know Mr. Bog before?” he asked.
“No; she had only seen him for the first
time when she was up in London with her
coulsin, about a fortnight before the wedding.
Her cousin had known him many years.”
“You will find England very different, I
suppose,” went on Mr. Rasper, “from J ii-
macia 1?"
“Jamaica ?" said she, laughing; “I dare
say I should, if Iliad ever been there. I'm
only from Edmboro.” '
“0, indeed,” he replied: “I beg your pan
don.” Then I suppose the late Mr.—”
“I say, Reaper,” called out Mr. Bog, from
the other side of the room, “are you likely
to finish spooning with Rosy soon? Because
I want you to come and say something clev-
ker to my wife.”
And

“Your wife !” exclaimed the startled Rasp-
er, “I thought I was—”
“Not talking to her ?" said Mr. Bog.
“Don’t say, now, you thought I had mar-
ried little Rosy ;” and he went off into a fit
or laughter of long duration. “Kasper,” .he
said, on getting his breath again, “you really
did not. think that ;" and then went off into a.
. longer laugh than ever,'in which we all join-
ed him.
“Then what on earth," said Raspcr,bl‘ouglit
that newspaper note ?”
“Eb, what? Now, you really don’t mean
to say you never guessed what that meant?
You don’t mean to say, when you read ‘samc
day ait,’ so and so, you never carried your
eye up to look what day that was ‘2"
“NO,” said Mr. Rasper; “but what. matter
could that make 5" ’
“All the matter,” said Mr. Bog. “We
were married on the twenty-ninth day of
February; that is my wife’s birthday, and
you know it only comes once in four years.”
“ Well, Bog, upon my word, I never
thought of that; and I have been nursing all
manner of wrath against you.”
“Splendid i” said Bog, "splendid ! I did
not think it possible to swindle the swindlcr
so completely. T he longestI hoped for my
joke was a life of about five minutes; and,
in the hope of that, I got my friend the edi-
tor to print me that one copy of the paper
with .1 note specially. intended for you.”
“0, then, Mrs. Bog’s age is not. proclaimed
to all the world,” said Kasper.
“Not exactly,” she would not in the least
have cared if it had been.”
“Not at all,” said Mrs. Bog; “I’m long past
caring who knows how old I am."
That is the story of how Mr. Bog married
his wife on her tenth birthday. ‘
“Really, Kasper,” said Mr. Splatter, as
they walked home together, “that was very
good, indeed, for Bog.”
And Rasper admitted unreservcdly that it
really was very clever, indeed, considered
as Bog’s first.

The Democracy Sketched by a
' Democrat. .
Here is a picture of the democratic party
sketched by an able hand. No one can
doubt Miles O’Riley’s democracy, and few
will question the fidellity of the picture
he draws. It is peculiarly applicable to the
larger section of the party in Connecticut:
The democratic party is in an awkward
position; consistency is regarded as a neces—
sity by politicians, foolish as this is, Md con-
trary to the fact, as historyshows it to be;
and consistency with the stupidities of the
last six years insures utter ruin. The organ-
ization happens to be composed of conflict-
ing and antagonistic elements; a large por-
tion of it consists of actual, positive, uncon-
verted and undeniable peace men, submis-
sionists, worshippers oi‘ chivalry, admirers of
the south, and ‘flunkics at its feet; men who
would rather bc kicked by a southern man
than kissed by a northern woman. These
cravens go bodily for their representative,
their worthy exemplar, George H. Pcndlc-
ton; will have him and no one else, and ac-
tually despise and repudiate Governor Sey-
mour as to much of a war democrat.
Of the war democrats he says:
Until water runs up hill, until trees grow
with leaves under ground and roots above,
hill the moon gives heat and the sun loses
its fire, until beasts become men, until ice
shall burn and fire shall freeze, until ever. -
thing that is impossible becomes possib e,
and not then, will war democrats vote for the
man who was false not only to his country
but to his section, who was conspicuous not
only as a degrading example of possible
northern meanness, and who, by his direct
support to their foes, Slew their sons and
brothers. Rather a thousand times would
they see the loyal soldier and moderate Re-
publican, General Grant, in the Presidential
chair, a person who, if not. agreeing with
them in all their views, is much more nearly
theirreprescntative than a copperhead whose
prudence kept him from being a traitor.

A GREAT NATIONAL FA .——An associa-
tion of gentlemen has been organized for the
purpose of establishing and continuing from
year to year a. great National Horse, Agri-
cultural, and Mechanical Fair. The plan_
proposes a location in Boston, New York,
or Philadelphia, to be determined by the
support guaranteed by the business men of
the three cities. Should New York offer the
most liberal inducements, it will open there
the coming autumn. It contcmplfles the ex—
hibtion of the best and most noted animals
in this country, and also the newest and
rarest developments in mechanism. The
plan varies from ordinary exhibitions in that
it will continue through two months, and the
amount to be offered in premiums will be
more than double the largest ever given at
any great exhibition in this country. Such
an exhibition as is contemplated will draw
thither at least a half million of strangers.
Its probable value to the transportation lines
hotels, and shopkeepers is easily apparent.
A canvass is to be made of the city at once,
in view of the enterprise, and we have no
doubt it will receive a generous support.

i The Ku-Klux Exposure In Mem- 0
pints, Tenn.
MEMPHIS, April 14, 1868.
The political field here is most decidedly
troubled and excited over the most startling
expose of high-handed crime, handed in mid-
night conclave of sworn assassins,ever heard
of in a civilized community. The breaking
up ol‘a den ofKu-Kliix, and the publication
ofthe startling documents found upon the
person of the Grand Cyclops when captured
produced something of a sensation, butnotli-
ing to that Of the expose of this evening.
The Democratic papers, feeling the publica-
tion of the papers found to be a heavy blow
upon the reconstructed, went to work at once
to endeavor to counteract their effect by ma-
king them appear as harmless as possible.
It was given out authoritatively that the
Whole thing was a farce made out of the pa-
pers of the old Sons of Malta, changed to
suit the amusements of the “Southern Pride
Base Ball Club.” Gen. Pike, the modern
Jove of Tennessee Democracy, pitched into
our Chief of Police in a style calculated to
make him quake in his boots, and to shield
in the eyes of the world, his chivalric pets
began suits for them for false imprisonment.
Some few perhaps were fooled, but not long
—_thc pill was too big to swallow. The
President Southern Pride Club, not relishing
the idea of a conclavc of sworn assassins in
connection with his “Pride,” bolted the state-
ment of the Democracy, and swore his club
were gentlemen, and had nothing to do with
the clan cleaned out by the police. Old of-
ficers of the “Sons of Malta" also stepped in
and took the wind out of the story of the
documents published, being ever made by
any modification. of ritual of that order, and
the trumped-up explanation published as of
the editor’s own knowledge by a rabid Dem-
ocratic sheet had to go undcr.
Next comes card called “Explanation,”
signed by 10 of the young men arrested,
showing the ear—marks of emanating from a
lawyer high in the ring Democratic, placing
the young men before the public as musical
prodigies organized into a. “Glee Club”——a
set of innocents whose vcrdancy is most re-
freshing. Innocent of an improper thought
they admitted as a member one “J. M. Camp-
bell,” who, as local editor of The Memphis
Avalanche, was looked up to with confidence.
Campbell endeavored to convert this club of
musical boys into a political organization,
but they indignantly refused to be seduced,
and spurned the oath and ritual he (Camp-
bell) hud drawn up and proposed. Finding
he could not persuade them into such a mad
freak,Campbell, for a bribe,as they are inclin-
cd to suppose,paid by the police chief for pur-
poses of making capital for him, expsoed and
caused their capture, the papers as published
being found on Cambell. All this might do
for effect abroad, but here at home none, ex-
cept perhaps those as. green as these “young
men of Southern birth and Southern prin~
ciples,” claim to believe the yarn. The
Chief of Police said it was nogo, and Camp-
bell, not showing a disposition to be made a
scape-goat ofiwas understood as proposing to
have something to say in the “explanation”
line himself. 9
This evening’s Ledger presents “A Card,”
signed “Jack Campbell,” which for cool, de-
liberate, and impudent acknowledgment of
complicity in assassination, is far ahead of
anything ever published, unless it be the con-
fessions of some of the captured Thugs. It
is, however, a crusher on the young men of
“Southern birth and Southern sympathies,”
who, forgetting the rule of “honor among
thieves,” deliberately attempted to damn the
character of their chief for the purpose of ex-
onerating themselves. Campbell claims he-
in g introduced by one of the young men and
sworn in by another, both of whose names
he gives ; that he and one other (name given)
drew up the oath as published, and all swore
to it; that soon after, a committee, of which
he was chairman, was appointed on assassin-
ation, and claims it was owing to his delay
that a somewhat notorious county oflicial is
not now sleeping with his fathers." He dares
the‘young men to deny his statements, as he
says he has the records of the meetings in his
possession, and is prepared with proof: says
if they wish he will give the names of the
Committee on Assassination, as well as the
names of those “elected to be assassinated,” and
is “prepz'il'cd in self—defense to lay bare to the
public gaze facts and figures, names and
dates, which would send a thrill through the
length and breadth of this land.
That this most remarkable document has
caused an excitement,you may well believe.
How our Conservative press are to get their
friends out of the scrape is hard to be seen,
especially as our Chief of Police is under-
stood to be in possession of facts to substan-
tiate the horrible statement of Campbell in
all essential points. It seems, as reported,
that a detective got hold of the passwords
and grips, and went into the den; where he
saw the initiation of a member, and heard the
partics—electedto be assassinated—since which
line the police have hen on their track, and
also keeping an eye over the elected ones to
see they did not come to grief. The first one
to be put out of the way was Judge Hunter,
which luckily fotd; though the information
'anie too late in that case for the police to
be on hand in. time. The second on the list
was ho ho Campbell speaks of as “the
somewhat notorious County ofiicial," Judge
Barbour Lewis of the Board of County Comm
missioners, who was to be attacked, if possi-
ble, on his way to his farm, some four miles
out, the first fitting opportunity. The judge
has not gone home for three weeks without
being escorted, unknown to himself, by a
couple of mounted police. Among the names
Ofscveral others are understood to be that
of State Senator Smith and the State Repre-
sentative Hamilton, who were to be disposed
of in their turn with others, including a
couple of prominent colored men. So much
as far as heard from for the Ku-Klux of
"Memphis, though further developments are
expected. O
@‘The most extraordinary telegraphic
feat on record is the transmission Of an ex-
traordinary message from London to San
Francisco. Thewires in America were
joined up for experiment from Heart’s Con-
tent to California, and the message was sent
from Valentin. at twenty-one minutes past
seven in the morning; the acknowledg-
ment of its receipt was received back in
in Valentin at twenty-three minutes past
seven,ihc whole operation having only occu-
pied 'ttvo minutes; the distance travelled
was about fourteen thousand miles, and the
message arrived, according to San Francisco
time, at twenty minutes past eleven on the
evening of January 31,0r the day preceding
that on which it left England. A Dublin
editor considers it unnecessary to send a
message at all, since a telegram reaches its
destination ten or fifteen hours before it is
sent!
