“\Vhat is to Become of Sam ‘2”
it 'was generally supposed that Sam was
what is called “deficient.” As to his own
fumilymlhey were sure of‘it; atall events
they Heated hilll_§as if lio-were'so.‘ Not that
they 'wcrezunltind to hini;-on-thc contrary,
they were all very fond of “poor old Sam ;”
but it seemed to be taken for granted that
whatever he said was not worth noticing,
and that almost everything he did was to
be made fun of more or less. He was, in
fact, the family butt, though the shafts were
as a‘rule, so: tipped with good nature asset
to hurthis ng‘s: '- ‘
Of course then ’were some patent reasons
for all this. To begin with, there was some-
thing manifestly peculiar or backward in
' his mental development. He could never
. learn like other boys, and all masters had
Shaken their heads at him: Then there was
a heavy comicality in his face and an awk-
wardness-in his gait, together with a stun?-

affection. _
“I’ll tell you what it- means," said her
brother to Mrs. Frerc one .day, when she was
talking to him about it—he was a lawyer in
London, old John Quicksett, of Gray's Inn,
who" could see a thing as shrewdly as most
people—“it means this, that Sam had got a
heart and a head, but his head is more but of
the way than usual,'and can only be got at
through his heart, like an old~fasliioued bed-
room that can only be reached by going
through another. Look' here, sister, I like
amazingly that story of the banns—it's grand
Not that there was anything clever in what
he did, just the reverse, it might have been
a most stupid mistake; but this is what takes
my fancy so, the firmness of purpose, a far
higher quality :of mind than mere cleverness,
that '* 'could make the poor fellowfaceLaiiy-
thing he did for the sake of the sister he
loved. There must be something in one who
could run the gauntlet like that, when his
heart was once fairly unlocked ; and I think
I have the key." '
“I always thought so," cried Mrs. Frere,
greatly delighted. . ‘
“Well; let me try. [‘11 run away with

The grinning was epidemic around th
table after it was known that Slim was to be
a lawyer. His brothers and sisters could
hardly look at first without smiling; it did
seem so droll, so absurdly contrary to every
action they entertained of him. Had he list

tics. -Briefiy, then, as s'oonasthe critical

some excuse to his brothers and sisters for
regarding him as an oddity in their midst.
At the sanie time it wasyet more more ex-

countable, that being“ thusaccustoined'fro'm
his childhood (and he was now about nine-
teen) to be treated as if he were little better
than a fool, he settled down more to being
one. Hardly ever did he attempt to say
or do anything in serious earnest, since al-
most anything he did or said was treated as
a sort of joke. -
There was one exception to this. Mothers~

weak in the flock. and Sam’s mother never

said “we,“ good soul, but that was only her
discreet way of putting it.
Now, Sam had a sister Mary, of whom he
was especially fond. Perhaps it was be-
cause'she was is sister nearest to him in
age, but it was more likely because she.
placed a ' little more confidence in him than
the others did; it wasn’t much, but it wan
more than he got of the rest. He would do
.anything for Mary, and when a ceatainMr.
St. Leger in the neighborhood took a fancy
to her it was amusing to see how Sam re-
sented the engagement. This Mr. St. Leger.
had lately came. into the- neighborhood, no
one knew where from; but he had plenty -
of money and very agreeable manners, and
was a general favorite with the Frere family.
Sam, however, never liked him .from the
first, and at length when he became Mary,
Frere’s accepted suitor, Sam’s aversion to
him became intense. It must be o’wucd
‘. that Mr. St. Leger took no pains to win
him over to ,a more friendly state of mind.
fie had fallen at once into the habit of mak-
ing light of the poor. fellow, which, as we
have seen, was the family custom, and when
he saw how Sam shrank from him, he had
certainly gone out of the way to poke fun
at him. It was an amusement and quite in
accordance with the general practice.
The day was fixed for the wedding,.and
the Sunday had arrived, when in- deference
to Mary’s particular wish, though very much
against Mr. St. Leger‘s inclination,the banns
were to be published in church.
The Frere’s were all in their place, a great
square pew in front of the pulpit. The
names were read out in due course. Mary
was recovering from the electric shock of
hearing them ; the villagers were inter- _
changing glances,- some even cautiously j
risiaga little to peep. into the square .pew,
when a voice was heard all over the bhurch,’
saying in the most emphatic way, “I forbid
'the beans.” .
Surprise was on every face, but it quickly
gave way to a sense of the ludicrous as Sara!
was seen‘standing up in the. middleof the
pew, lookingtlie clergyman steadily in the.
face, as much as to say, “There now; get
over that if you can t" The clergyman was
so amused that he had to rush on with the
service to prevent an unseemingly diaplay
while Sam’s kindred in the square pow were
in every attitude of painfully restrained
amusement. And theré‘he stood, unabashed
and defiant,-until.his father plucked him by
the arm and made him sit down." But none
of them for one moment. thought it was any-
thing more thana very unaccountable freak
of “poor old Sam's." ' . ,
No sooner was the service over than he
was assailed on'.all sides for an explanation.
Two only'were serious about - it—his father
and Mary. “What, is the meaning of. this,
sir?" said his father sternly; le'i'at could,

8am from collective bantering,~though the
old lawyer was too wise to make any fuss
about the matter; but when Sam was alone
with his brothers and sisters he had a hard
fect good humor. .
At first Sam had, of course, to go through
the usual drudgery of a lawyer's office, in
which; if it be possible, for any one to shine,
he certainly did not. His blunders were
awful, and provoked the wrath or ridicule,
as the case might be, or his fellow clerks,
who were all well seasoned and somewhat
ancient men. But his uncle never found
fault with him. The most _he said when
some frantic bangle .was brought: ~_t_o his.

nothing in him to.begin with, the plan could
not have'answered; but this was just what
his uncle believed, namely, that there was
something in him, but that it had been sys-
tematically laughed down, and sat upon from
superficial considerations, and that it could
only be brought out by a total change of

of one on joint ballot, the result would ‘
be the counting in of Hampton. They
reported that the votes of Edgefield and
Laurens ought to be thrown out on account
various palpable irregularities, etc., ought
to be corrected: The consequence of doing
as they recommended would be the choice
of the republican electors and a Legislature
republican in both branches. The court
ordered the board to-certify the election of
all branches of the Legislature who appeared
to have the greatest number‘ of votes on the
face of . the returns; but in relation to the
electoral ticket it took the opposite ground,
and commanded the board to revise and
correct the, figures according to the precicnt
return. The order was issued on the 22nd,
at been of which day the powers of the can—
vassing board expired. Perceiving that the
purpose of the court was to» prevent any
canvass of the electoral vote (which would
have been equivalent to giving the presiden-
cyto Tilden), the board met on the morning
. of'tlie 22nd, and before the :orders could be
served it had completed its work, issued
some 0880 that was to comeofi' there. _It is catwalk” t0 the Bayes 919cm“ and P re- hung over the projection of the cut-water,

of the court were issued there was no longer
any canvassing board in existence to receive
them. With this sudden movement, brought
on by the lawyers of his own. party, Mr.
Tilden‘s chances of buying the board over
forever disappeared, and all the negotiations
of Smith Weed were bought to nought. .

A Danbury Man‘s Experience.
The San Francisco Chronicle notes the
arrival at that port of an Ameiican named
Lewis Chase, who for more than a quarter of
a century has never seen a civilized country,
and has seldom looked upon the face of a'
white man. San Fra'nciseo is the first
glimpse of civilization he has had since he
_left his native home in Danbury,Conneciicut,
twenty-seven years ago: Foi- twenty-five
years and six ’months he: has lived ona
groupe of islands in the Pacific, inhabited by
ferocious cannibals, and he has seen canni-
balism practiced as a fine art and as a fierce
display of human ferocity. Mr. Chase says
that this horrible practice is indulged in prin-
cipally to gratify a deadly Spirit of revenge
which one tribe of natives holds against an- '
other. In the many brutal and bloody civil
wars which they have waged against one an

“Bright October days are coming ;”
Thus all nature seems to say, ‘
Early insects cease their humming,
‘ Those of autdmn catch the ‘lay L
O'er and o’cr sounds this refrain
In a 10w, pathetic strain.
“Summer’s gone, and autumn's here;
, Soon the leaves will all be dropping,
_ Fading, falling, brown and sci-e.”
Yes! “For time will ne'er be stopping,
' Will not linger long their glory,”
Say the oft repeated story.
Sun is geriial in his shining,
Birds are happy yet and gay,
Still, the beauteous year’s declining,
Passing, passing fast away ;
We as well as insects know
That but brief as autumn's glow ;
That in turn these each have fled ;
Gladsome spring and joyous summer;
As the Father’s word hath said,
Is there always a new-comer ;
For, as long as earth ‘remaineth,
In its timeeacli season reigneth.
To another summer’s coming,
After winter cold and bleak ;
Then again we'll hear sweet humming
Will for vernal beauties seek ;
Newly-risen they will be; ‘
Such is Heaven's own decree.
Let us then have done with grief;
As the autumn days are fleeting,
Falls'to earth each faded leaf,
Cherish hope of spring-time greeting;
And, love divine imploring,
Be all time our God adoring. .

The Old-Horne.
I have gone-I cannot always go, you know
Best ’tis so—
Home across the distant ridges of the years,
With my tears;
And the old house, standing still _ on _the old
ground,
There I found.
In the parlor, in my fancy I could trace .
.Father’s face;
And my mother, with her old accustomed air
sitting there; ' '
While beside them brothers, sisters, true and
300d!
Silent stood.
Through the stillness swam the song of sum-
mer bird,
And there stirred
On the. wall the leaf-flocked sunshine and its
glow ‘
Faded slow;
But from all ibe loving lips I watched around—-
Not a sound.
Then I went upstairs, slow entering ’mid
their giooins '
All the rooms;
And I trod with softened step along the floor;
Opened doors;
But I never heard a voice or met a soul
. 1n the whole. .
0f the breaths that stirred the :drapcries to
and fro
Long ago;
run—
Now are none.
0f the sunshine pouring downward from the
the sky, _
Blue and high;
Of the leafage and the ancient garden plot,
Brown and hot;
he
tide— , , - ‘
These abide. ' ‘
But beyond its azure vaulting overhead,
Are my dead;
Though their graves were dug apart in many
lands,
Joining hands,
waiting till 1
come. _
That is home!

' True. &c., &c.
I saw, tonight, the man I loved.
Three little years ago.
I 'did not. think so short a time
Could change a mortal so.
There were none like him in those days—
So meek, so true and wise;
He had stately marble brow.
And tender soulful eyes.
A voice of music; hair by which
The ravens wing would seem
But pale indeed ; a face and form
To haunt a sculptor's, dream.’
' But when [locked at him tonight,
I saw no single. trace ' " '
Of the old .glor'y-J—only just-
‘A very common face.
N o marble brow, no soul-lit orb;
The face was round and sleek
.That Once to my love-haunted eyes,
Was so intensely sweet.
I know full well he has not changed
, So very much, Ah me,
, But I was blind in those dear days
And now, alas, I see. '
.ll‘is very dreadful to be blind,
Of course, and yet tonight
I should be happier far if I
Had not received my sight. -
One little thought will trouble me,
I‘onlywish I knew
Whether he still is blind, or if
His eyes are open, too.
"‘Nnvlrl't :MAitnY A MAN WHO Dumas."—
The writei-‘who said that, said all in a few
words. It isamotto that every girl might
have written upon the wall of the peaceful
little chamber where she dreams her maiden
. dreams and often makes up her mind to mar-
ry the “dear, good fellow” whose only fault
is taking a glass too much now and then, and
reform him after marriag .
~ It is all the more necessary that it should
be written there, because the mm who drink
are by no means the worst men in the world.
We know that generous, warm-hearted men,
men, of intellect and men of poflcr have
found the temptation too hard to withstand, ‘
and that many a man, otherwise“ contempti-
his and wicked has never had “a glass too
much" in his life; although it is‘ also- true
that, under the influence'of liquor, men have
done deeds that the very thought of which
would have sickened their souls.
If only all'men who drink were despicable
in all other respects,'there would be. little"
need of this warning; but as it is, let every
girl rcmemberit, let evcry mother whisper
it. Whatever his charms or his natural vir-
tues may be, no woman can be hnppy with‘a
IlHIDliai'il. And he who will not give up
drink for his sweetheart‘s sake will never
give it up to pleasehis wife. ‘ _'
If anything can check a‘man in his career _
of dissipation, it will he the dread of losing
the girl he loves. Say, “You shall never
.Jiavc me unless you forsake the bottle,” and
you may conquer him. Failing in that, all
your wifely tears would fail also. Don’t
marry him. Better weep over your dead
hopes, and go single to your grave, than suf-
fer what a drunkard makes his wife suffer.
Never marry a man who drinks.
