COXCEltXIXU THE COLWtEI. 1'EOI'L E. t Iiishoj) Aruett, of the Africiiu Mcllio dist church in .South Carolina, takes very senilIe view of the relation of th. recent republican victory to the iuterest of the colored population of the country "I do not see," he says, "that it make much diffeieuce to us who is president. provided the incumbent is an honest Od-fearing man, anil administers tin laws faithfully and impartially." That is to say. he believes that the eolorei people have tluir salvation in their owi hauds, and can not expect to derive an special benefit as a race from the res'.ora tiou of the republican party to power leyond that of securing a fair chauci with all other classes of ci izens. The can not hope to have mirachs wrough for their particular advantage. The re publican party is under no obligation t make life any easier for them than it i for the majority of white people. The; are not entitled to any more favor thai other citizens who are obliged to pusl themselves ahead in the world by theii own industry, frugality and courageow perseverance; and the sooner they nccep this fact the better it will be for them ii every wuy. Over twenty years have passed sinci slavery was abolished, and the freed mei have had all that time in which to ad.ip themselves to the new order of things, and to learn the philosophy of self-support and self-defense. If they have no qualified themselves by this long expeti euce for the tak of competing wit! other laborers and gaining a fair share 1 the rewards which come everywhere t honest and determined n leao, the nothing that the republican party is pel initted to do for them can enable them tc get along any better. They have out lived the evil intltienccs "f slaverj- by thi time, or they are inc ij.able of ever dohi; so. The republican party swnpath'z : with them and wihes them to pros-pr. and to live contented and h:ipp. I.'u it can not undertake to legislate then into a r.oit of colored paradise, any inor tlrin it can undertake thus to create i white paradise for the millions of north ern people for whom it feels an equal sjmp tlhy anil would be quite as glad to deliver from all adverse conditions. Tlx time ha long since go-ie by for pleading the wrongs an. I arrows of t':e s'lve sys teni as an excuse for laws and policies designed to help o le class over in, other. It is the duty of the colored people to rely upon t'.c ii: elves', and not upen any pirty, or any poliii. al sx.-l.i-mc of relief and progress.

"It's just that, Aunt Hannah," said Jim Devitt, throwing back his brown velveteen coat, 6tretching his gay plaid trousers, and Bimpping his fingers at a fat whito bull dog with the solemn com bative countenance of its kind. "I ain't wurth a cuss for figgers, ain't up on ril lon:5, but am pretty fair on sport. .Some one's got ter deal faro, bo referee at a pi i.o fight, and umpire a ball game.

"That it would not, James Bottle Devitt," said Aunt Hannah, decidedly, 7et looking very kindly on the speakar over her spectacles. "If you was'iiot a iitlaw from jestice I wouldn't have you here at all. But Lv, as you've worked .or yourst-M teiicp you was twelve, an' never hed no 6ehooIiu'; I dunro but you urned o:- well consederin" ;an' then you .va'n't cteen when you rescued me .'rom the iKXr jiouse, aij' two years ago 'u Loucht pie this cipfprtaujo plae, " ho UiO?y was got I never .hough ho. . larcd think." "Took odds agin the favorit." "Tliat, though I don't miderstanc. it, ueans, I know, something disrespectful; ut you has the kindest heart in the A Oi ld. Only to think, though, our ;reat grandfather was a Baptist minis ter, traveling by spotted trees in tho wil lernetis, and j ou" "Traveling by tho spots on cards.' "And Mis Jedgo Suydarn of the manor lsked mo j-esterd'y, says she, what busi less is your nephew in, and she's a very ;rand lady too. An' few knows what oor bouses is and how you rescued me, !iid how grateful I am, so I wasn't going o have her look down on you, so I says n tho lono business, marm." "In the what?" "Bones, Jimmy. I remembered vou slaved 'em in tho minstrels wherj I lied iee passes, an' ef I do say it, you beat ni all, an" fetched tho most applause .llus, an' lono business sounded sorter esjiectful." "You're ahvavs game," laughed Mr. Levitt. "Next time tell the old lady I'm omething of a sport; let her ligger it ut. Meble she uont know that game oek of mine killed her lino l'lymouth tock tho List time I was lu?re." Ho pickeil up his hat, whistled to the log, and strolled out along the road in !ie direction of the manor, whore "Mrs. edge Suj-dam" kepf a strict watch over wo young orphaned granddaughters. "There's the best heart in the world.'' aid the old lady to tho fat, cc mfortablo at who appeared from some retreat oc asioned by Bruiser dislike, "an this eautiful homo he's give me, an' send3 10 money when he has a streai of luck, n' jest lecause he ernpired a prize fight e's hidin' hero from jestice, an' him ever would strike a blow less ho had er. An' them mittens, the stulled one's 10 says is 'lowable; but dearie me, erladia- ors was nothing but prize lighters, an' hey has plays on the stage about them." "I'm goin' to a trystin' place," mut ereil Mr. Devitt, as ho went along. What tho duso i3 a trvsting place. She alls it that; she's the derndest." .Some two weeks back, Biuiser, on an sploring expedition, met in a narrow ath on tho manor grounds a fat New oundland dog and a tall, overgrown girl, .ith a curiously chJldish face and bright uirk eyes. "Sick him, Nep, he's such a little no," said the girl. Nop turned tail and ttempted to llee. Not so Bruiser; liL .ghting blood was up; he accepted tho lump, and i'.ew upon tho lag dog, who lood still and howled frightfully, while ho girl, with real courage, seized Jruiser by tho loose skin on Ids neck, Jid Mr. Devitt rescued tho party. "Don't you know no better than to ick a bull dog on an old sheep like !iat?" ho said, severely. 'Tightin' is my 'og's business; look at tkeui scars on im," and forthwith ho reeled olf a long 1st of Bruiser's battles, lost and won. The girl listened with respectful at ten ion, introduced herself as Enid Jones, .id said she had to take Nep out fcr a alk every day. llo was grandma's g. and sho v. LJied ho could know her ousin Hetty she was jus lovely. Tho next day he went along the path. :id strangely enough Enid was tlieru . ith Hetty, a vivacious, curly hr.ired ainsel. Nep was tied to a tree wiUi a oh, end Bruiser was held by a stout p?, and a conversation ensued. In ourse of time Hetty assured Mr. Devitt, erhaps a delicate wav of telling hiru u.t he need not fall m love with h:r, iiat her heart was broken. Sho had been :iaged to a young man in jail oh, s!i3 . jeant boarding school but that was all if now. She must marry for money. :id it was better her heart should break, ad his. too, than lIic should displease or cged grand parent. Grandma liked .er Lost, for her papa v. as a professional lan, but Enid's lather was no family at II; lv.z Enid would lx awful rich and could stoop beneath her." "Her father was something in oil in lew York." tighed Hetty, und Enid iittned with meek cadncjs. Well, tluol l sardine, tho fellow in il, left t-'-- stamps cjiyhow," suggested Jevitt, hopefuily, taking Enid's side ct nee? "Vou are very kind," sighed Enid; and i!io nuttier was dropped, all parties ?n- cr.voring to see tins one redeeming trait in the man in oiL Dovitt was a very simple minded young oiin. llo had read few books, chiefly of . ilrondiro thn Iririrl Tnriinn nnd nirnti ales xx:iiliar to tho young, and bad waa a messenger boy, on hi3 way to do errandu; but now his literary tasto ran to cporting journals, and ioerry was an unknown field to him. He liked Hetty, sympathized with her sorrows, offered to kiKM-k out th? future millionaire who woidd crush out hci- young heart at any time sho sent l.ii:i v. o, l, said he supposed sho knew hor own hu.sinesct lest; but wasn't she bom-ring trouble when tho old chap hadn't turned up yet, and the old lady might die any time, and what was to prevent her marrying the young fellow then? At Enid he looked with awe and wonder, sho could quote so much ioetry, had read so many novels, and was so strangely innocent and unworldly, and made him out such a hero. In fact she was such a good listener that he stretchexl the truth now and then to interest her. "You are like 1'omco and Juliet," sighed Hetty. "Enid is about her ago, anil her eyes are good, if sho is so thin, and does outgrow her clothes so." These meetings continued all that sum mer. Hetty always n willing third party, and deep in a novel about it. She meant to make it a great success, and have her jiortrait in the book, with Ler hair all wavy, and a poetic look on her fac-i and have the newspapers just teem with anec dotes of her beauty and brilliancy. They called tlie old stone house the castle, and under the castle windows came Mr. Devitt every night when tho weather was fine. He had a lovely tenor voice, and Mrs. Suydarn was deaf, and ho knew the whole of "Maid of Alliens," which he sangdivinely. "Aud of course that's 3-011," Hetty would say as they leaned out the window and listened: By those lids whose jetty fringe Kiss thy soft cheeks' blooming tinge; By fhose wild eyes like tho roe. "You have those soulful, yearning eyes, and that's all tho good looks vou have got," Hetty would add truthfully. Once in a while Bruiser would add to the melody by a howl when a cut escaped him, or the cat heisclf, on a distant roof, would appeal to the neighboring cats for sympathy. One day while rehearsing "Othello," Hetty the p bused wife and Enid the cruel Moor, Enid raised the pillow too high in her zeal, and crash' Went grand ma's lovely Dresden china vase, the pride of her aged heart. As usual, Enid liad to bear all the blame, and was sent to a distant room in tho back part of the house for a week's imprisonment. Mr. Devitt was informed1 in Hetty's angular liand writing: "Leonora js ni the tower. Particulars, ask boy," llo nsked the small, solemn faced lcy .r. tho note, and got aU the who biw0. " - in i-fcturn a dime, direful story, and gu. J tor that was taken as nart of the vr . secrecy. To tho tower went Mr. Devitt at inidnixht. after falling over a wheel barrow and stumbling through a vegeta ble erarden. Leonora was a very unhappy little girl, for she was intensely nervous. Her crazy Lmclo Henry had died in the room where sho was imprisoned, and Hetty aid his unquiet spirit never rested in the grave, blio was allowed no lamp, anu no one was near her in that long hall, iind somewhere she had read "at mid night hour, when churchyards yawn and graves give up their dead," and it was twelve now. Then on the moonlit air came that dear voice: Maid of Athens, ere we part She gave a little cry of joy, her terror had been so extreme, and lie was so good io come. Ho looked so beautiful in tho moonlight, his handsome eyes, under their long lashes, upraised to her, his black mustache veiling the lips that sang so sweetly. The fact that there was .somebody awake, too. And she told him softly how scared she was, and ho cat down under tho window, and fr;id he would stay for company, and tli c :id sleep in peace, for he would be 0. Two nights Liter, when he t.. J. . : ;;e sent him down a note, tied to of ribbon. Do you remember yoiins Loehinvar I . . ;". -u about? I shall die here. No one loves La J. i.d la.st night, after I made you go home, I h.ird such 1 dreadful creaking of the istaii-s that I fainted dead away. I shall die here. "It's a shame, that old hag," he wrote back. "Do you mean rim away and get married?" "Y es," came down on the string. Then further correspondence ensued, hints of a servant who could be bribed with a pearl ring Enid didn't care about at all to leave the key in the doer, e.nd directions to liave a carriage waiting at the lane, and sho would be waiting. He promised, then went slowly homeward. "A rum go," he muttered. "Y'ou an' me, Bruiser, to run off with that inno cent little chick. Them books is turned her head, and she is scared out of her senses up there alone. Cuss that old woman! I never see no girl like her. I love her, Bruiser, and what in this world shall I do about it?" He sat down on the top rail of a fence, and Bruiser took a dignified posture in the path. A queer sort of shadow came over Devitt's face as he drew Ids breath hard. "It's no go, Jim. You are a poer, worthless devil, and sho will be rich some day. It would be worse than cheat ing an honest man at an honest game. If she wa'n't rich well, even then, wliat kind of a name liave ycu got to give her, and what sort of a homo to offer? She don't know no more of the world and what gittin' married means than a 4-year- old child. Calls me (Jeraint, by gosh. Chuck full of poetry, but not a mite of hoss sense.

No one will ever know how hard it is, and then she'll hao me. She will wait lor me, and then hate 1 me." i He got up with a groan and went on j with bowed head and weary eyes. Sud denly ho turned and went back to tho manor. Poor, Hrightenei child, 0 saw her at the window, her taco hidden on her outstretched arms, her fair hair veil- : ing her cluldish grief. Ho dared not cee her again. In the shadow cf the old elms ho sang for tho last time tho song sho loved. Sho listened with beating heart and happy eyes, and that sense cf companionship so dear in her loneliness; and lie his voice faltered once or twice, ; that was all: j JIaiJ of Athens! lanijone: . Think of me, sweet, wben alone. ' Though I l!y to Ibtambol, Athens holds ruy heart and gguL Can I cease to love thee?

Most likely the household nUairs of a Pomjieian lady were confined to the su perintendence of he-r women in tho spin ning room, or of the attendants of tho children of tho house. Some lady land owners may have had to transact busi ness with their stewards, but beyond this they had plenty of time for visiting tho baths and theatres, or worshiping in ihe temples. The old state religion liad, at that time, lost its hold on tho public mind, but the worship of tho Egyptian gods liad much attraction for tho women, and tho time spent at the Temple of Isis was so exaggerated by them that resort to the latter was once forbidden by edict. The Roman baths, with all their details, have been so often described that we will not touch on them at length. Suffice it to say that our Pom peian lady had am- fIo epportunity of enjoying their ele ights and gossiping the hours away at tho splendid establishments in Pompeii, which often served as a placo of appoint ment lo meet friends or lovers, where intrigues could bo carried on or the toj ics or the day be freely discussed. Borne thither in her litter, or proceeding on foot, accompauied by her slaves, our Pom peian lady spent hours in tho wo men's part of the establishment, whence the could either depart by a side door as privately as she came, or mix in the crowd in the courts.
