    On the Shores of Tennessee
"Move my arm chair faithful Pompey;
In the sunshine bright andtrongj
For this world is fading, Pompey
Massa won't be with you long;
And I faln.wouIflHearthe south wind
Bring once more tho Bound to me.
Of the wavelets softly breaking
Ob iUe-BtToTe of Tennessee.
'Monrnfal though the ripples murmur,
As they still the story tell.
How no vessels float the banner
That I've loved so long and well,
I shall listen to their music,
Dreaming that again I see
Strs and Stripes on sloop and-shallop-
SalllDgon the Tennessee.
"And, Pompey.OThHeold Massa--waiting
For Death's last dispatch to come.
If that exiled starry banner
Should come proudly sailing home.
You should greet It, slave no longer
Voice and hand shall both be free,
Tlintshout and point to Union colors
On the waves- of Tennessee,""
"Mafsa's berry kind to Pompeyj
But ole darkey's happy here".
Where he's tended corn and cotton,
Fordosomanya long gone year.
Ober yonder Missis sleeping
No one tends her grave like me;
Mebbe she would miss de flowers
She used to Jove In Tennessee.
"'Pears like she was watching Massa
If Pompey should beside him stay,
Mebbe she'd remember better,
How for him she used to pray
Tolling him dat way op-yonder.
White as snow his soul would be,
If he served de Lord ob Heaven,
"While he lived In Tennessee."
Silently the tears were -rolling
Down the poor old dusky face.
As he stepped behind his master,
In his long accustomed place.
Then a silence fell around-them.
As they gazed on rook and tree.
Pictured In the placed waters
Of the rolling Tennessee.
Master, dreaming of tho-battle.
Where he fought by Marion's side.
When he bid tho-bntrgh'ty-Tarleton
Stoop his lordly crest of pride.
Man, remcmbrlng how yon sleeper
Once he held upon his knee,
Kre-sho loved the gallant soldier,
Ralph Yervalr, of Tennessee.
Still the south wind fondly lingers
'Mid the veteran's silver hair;
Still the bondman, close beside him,
Stands behind the old arm chair.
With his dark-hued hand uplifted,
Shading eyes, hobendsfto see
"Where the woodland, boldly Jutting,
Turns aside the Tennessee.
Thus he watches cloud-born shadows
Glide from tree to mountain-crest.
Softly creeping, aye and ever.
To the river's yielding breast.
Ha a3ove the foliage yonder.
Something flutters wild and free I
"Massa ! Massa! Hallelujah
De flag's comeback to Tennessee!"
"Pompey, hold mo on your shoulder.
Help mo stand on foot once more.
That I may saluto the colors.
As they pass my cabin door.
Here's the paper signed that frees you ;
Give a freeman's shout with me
JGod and Union!' bo our watchword
.Evermore In Tennessee."
Then the trembling voice grew fainter,
And tho limbs refused to stand;
One prayer to Jesus and the soldier
Glided to that better land.
When the flrig went down the river,
Man and ruaster-botb were free.
While the ring-dove's notes were mingled
With the rippling Tennessee.
FAJRT SECOND.
CHAPTER I, (Continued.)
"I mean nothing. I only mean
that all old mansions have one, and
J feuppoBQ this is no exception. By
the bye, there is a wing of the Hall
Jbofced up. But what's the matter
3io,tbar2 Why, I declare, you look
as-Jftfcu had seen a ghost !"
"Nonsense, Robert; tho heat of the
sun ia oppressive, and I feel rather
faint. Give me your arm, and let us
go iu." IHer lips were pale, and she
trembled -as she spoke.
'Before we follow them into the
Ireuse, the reader will probably like
to know how they came there, in pos
session, without a certain act of Par
liament having been repealed. Ro
bert Biakely the elder had been dead
jjst a twelvemonth at the time we
.have resumed the thread of the story.
In the event of Robert Biakely dying
without issue, the estate would pass
away to a remote connection of the
familj', represented by an old Indian
officer, also childless. About two
years previous to Robert Blakely's
death, news came that the old officer
was dead. Thus the property was
left without au heir. Helen'sschem
ing brain atonce seized upon the ad
vantageof the situation. Why should
not hereon inherit the estate, spite of
the shadow upon his birth ?
As she turned the subject over in
her mind, nothing appeared easier.
Let-hsr-busband write to his steward,
tell lilart bat ire lrad-J privately mar
ried a lady at Florence, by whom- he-
had a Bon, who was, consequently,
heir to the estate. It was not proba
ble that any question would be asked
ns to whom the lady was. The boy
had been entered at Eton as Robert
Biakely, with his father's written ac
knowledgment of his legitimacy
what more could be required? She
herself waB so altered that it would
bo scarcely possible that she should
be recognized. If there was any fear
of such a recognition, why she would
pass as tbe-housekeeper.
Mr. Biakely willingly endorsed the
scheme as, indeed, his wife would
have compelled him to do, whether
willingly or not;
The steward was- written to, the
marriage acknowledged, and that gen
tleman was invited to London, in or
der that he might be personally In
troduced to the future Squire of
Biakely.
He came, the introduction took
place, and the news waa- carried baok
to Norfolk that an heir was found.
From that time tbe estate began to
improve out of the dilapidation into
which it had fallen. But Kobert
Biakely the elder never revisited it.
He died in the gloomy house in Gray
son Terraoe, and was burled in a Lon
don cemetery, far away from hia an
cestors. Thus Helen's boy took unopposed
TRACKED
Sossession of his father's property, and j
tbe great longings of her life was ful
filled. But, somehow, the county
gentry held" aloof from the Hull
Whether It was that they held it as
still tainted with an undiscovered
crime; whether some person had
fancied that they reeognized Helen,
and some whispered suspicion of tbe
true state of the case began to be bruit
ed about, it would be useless to dis
cuss. But? there was the simple fact
nobody visited the mother and son.
It was the one drop of bitterness in
Helen cup of triumph, and was suf
ficient to flavor the whole. Her ma
ternal love was sorely wounded at the
thought that her noble boy, whom
she looked upon as a.paragou of ex
cellence, should be thus cut by those
whom, except in social position, she
regarded as infiuitely- his inferiors.
When she returned to Biakely, she
brought the Gaudys with her, and
ensconced them In tho lodge, which
the death of Mrs. Millerrhad just pre
viously left vacant.
An advertisement inserted in the
county newspaper for an experienced
man to manage the Biakely Farm,
had resulted fn the selection of Carry
Lee's father for the post. And now
the reader is in possession of every
fact that it is necessary for him to
know at present.
Leaning upon her son's arm, Hel
en's passed into the house. The
ohange within was greater even than
without. No dust and tatters now
every place as olean as paint and var
nish ooufd make it. Grand new fur
nituregorgeous hangings ; Helen's
savings had gone in the purchase of
these.
Only one part of the Hall remained
as before there the dust lay thicker
than ever, and no human foot had dis
turbed it since thatsummer day when
Charley and his companion- explored
those gloomy (chambers. The doors
that commnnicated with that wing
were fasteud up-.
There was twfee as much room In
the great building now as could ever
possibly bo required-. Why, then,
should they incur tho expense of fur
nishing another wing?
This was what Helen said.
Of course, In a little time, the ser
vants began to scent out a mystery.
Then they began to make inquiries
among the natives; then came out
the story of the murder; then they
began to fancy that they heard strange
noises behind the loeked-updoors; to
avoid their violnty after nightfall, and
even tbe men-servants did not care
about it.
As young Robert had said, every
respectable family mansion has its
gh?st, aud why should that be an ex
ception ? more especially when there
were such admirable materials out of
which to create one.
Let not the reader, however, sup
pose that we are going to create one.
PoorEoith Biakely slept soundly in
the grave ; she had not found such un
alloyed happiness in this world that
she should desire to revist "glimpses
of the moon."
The mother and son entered a
hondsomely-furnlshed room upon the
ground floor, looking out upon the
lawn. Reclining upon a couch, read
ing the Time?, in a gorgeous deroi
toilette, was a pleasant-lookinggentle-man,
with a closely-shaven face, a
nosesomewhat Inclined toredness.and
hair dressed in little bunches at the
temples indeed, It was no other than
our old friend, Pontifex. The fickle
goddess seemed to have smiled upon
him at last, to judge by his outward
man.
"Any news thi3 morning?" asked
Robert.
"Nothing particular in the political
world," replied Pontifex. "Foreign
news has been deucedly dull since tbe
Italian war endecH 3ince Italy has
been for the Italians; it has been
deucedly uninteresting. Plenty go
ing on in the fashionable world. Lots
of old aristocratic friends of mine
giving grand parties. Egad X here is
the whole season passing away, and I
have never once been seen in Rbtton
Row."
"Rotten Row mu3t be In despair P'
said the younpr man slily. "By the
bye, had you been to Rotten Row that
day I met you on the top of the omni
bus?" "At that time, my dear Soy, I was
under a cloud I had run to seed.
Suoh things happen even fo inarquia
es and dukes at times."
"Ah, I little thought I had found
in you a long-lost uncle," Robert
went on in the same bantering tone,
"or the meeting might have been
quite pathetic. By Jove! though, it
was strange, wasn't it? What fellow
was it you took me for that you said
was so very like V
At those words a look of attention
came iuto Helen's eyes.
"Ob, a young fellow who lodged in
the same house with me for a night
or two," answered Pontifex carlessly.
"I never saw him afterwards. But,
come, what do you say to a ride be
fore luncheon ? It Is almost too warm
for exercise after twelve o'clook."
RobeTt agreed to the proposal, aud
Mr. Pontifex retired to bid chamber to
complete his toilet.
CHAPTER II.
AN ADVENTURE WITH TWO TRAMPS
While Mr. Pontifex was preparing
for his ride, two wretched-looking
tramps, a man and a woman, wero
tolling along the hot dusty road that
skirted the enolosing wall of Biakely
Park.
The man was an itinerant tinker,
dressed in ragged velveteen an ill
looking, grimy Individual, with a
beard of a month's growth. Behind
him, carrying the implements of his
trade, toiled a squalid, sickly-looking
woman, with a soddened faee-, whom
he every now and then turned round
to abuse for not walking faster.
"I can't walk any faster, Dick," she
said, trying to appease the fellow.
"These things are-so heavy and the
sun is so hot. Do let us- rest a few
moments."
"What's the good o3 resting here?"
answered the man. "Ther' ain't no
body about, and there's nuffln1 to
Pk up." Upon which, be began to
antbematize the laziness of all woe
mankind, and this one in particular.
Coming, however upon a cool, shady
bank, that lay beneath the shadow of
some trees the very spot where
Charley and Bilge had eat down, to
take a council of war, upon tbe occa
sion of their memorable visit to the
Hall ho began to think that a few
moments' repose, out of the heat and
the dust, might be agreeable to him
self. So, selecting the most comfot
able Bpot upon- the bank, he laid him
self down full length, tilted his hat
over hia e3,es, and was soon in a doze.
The woman, dropping her burden,
sank down upon the grassrand wipsd
away the perspiration that wa
streaming down her face with the
corner of her ragged shawl, and took
off ber all but soleless boots to cool
her blistered feet.
The soft air and the pleasant couch
quickly soothed the poor tired wretch
to sleep. Presently the man
woke up, and seeing her oblivi
ous for a moment of his persecution,
waxed wroth, and called to her with
an oath and a kick to rouse up.
Just at that moment two gentlemen
on horseback turned the corner of the
road that lay behind the bank, and
saw the klok, and heard the woman
cry out. Spurring his horse forward,
the younger of" tho two raised his
whip, and lashed the fellow- smartly
across the face.
With a howl of rage; he sprang up
and made a dart at the horse's head ;
another out across the face, that left
there a broad red wheal, was tho re
sult of this attaok.
In the meantime the woman had
staggered to her feet, and was trying
to hold him back ; upon whloh he
turned his impotent rage upon her,
dashed his flst in her face, and felled
her to the earth, with the blood flow
ing from her nose and mouth.
In an instant the young man sprang
from his horse, threw the bridle to
his companion, and seizing tbe brute
by tbe back of his neck, horsewhip
ped him until he howled for mercy.
Robert Biakely, for it was he,
would have been- satisfied with this
castigation ; but his companion very
judiciously remarked that if the ruffi
an was left free he would undoubted
ly wreak his malice upon the woman.
"Quite right, old fellow ; ride back
and find a groom or a gamekeeper to
take charge of this fellow, and we
will lock him up.
Mr. Pontifex rode away upon his
errand. The brute, who, like a true
british ruffian, was brave only in woman-beating,
finding himself worsted
he began to beg for mercy ; and upon
finding such entreaties useless, grew
ferocious agatrr, and threatened all
kinds of vengeance. Very soon, how
ever, Mr. Pontifex, returning with a
stalwart groom, put an end to the
scene, and the fellow was dragged
away, uttering the most frightful im
precations, to the nearest lock-up.
This part of the business having
been disposed of, Robert next turned
hia attention to the woman, who was
now sitting up, wiping the blood from
her face, and moaning with pain.
"Is the rufPan your husband?"
asked Robert, kindly.
"No. sir," she answered, In a faint
voice.
"do much the better. Here is half
a sovereign for you, atd I should ad
vise you to get out of the neighbor
hood as quickiy as possible. They
will lock that fellow up for a time,
so you have nothing to fear from him;
but the magistrates are jolly hard up
on tramps down here, and ihey might
look you up also if they catch you loi
tering about. I wish I was ou the
bench ; by Jove, I'd give that fellow
a twelvemonth on the treadmill, as
sure as my name is Robert Biakely."
"Robert Biakely !" exclaimed the
woman, looking up and speaking dis
tinctly for the first time. "You are
not Robert Biakely, of Biakely, Hall
he must bo an old man by this
time?"
At thesoundof thatvoioe hecould
not see her face, her back being to
wards him Mr. Pontifex started
listened for & moment then turned
his horse's head, and rode gently up
the road.
"You are speaking of my father
who is dead.' Have you ever been in
this neighborhood before?" asked
the young man, in some surprise.
"Oh, yes. I have seen Biakely
Hall before to-day," she answered-
bltterly. "And you are Robert Blake
ly's son!' she said, staring at him
with a strange expression In her eyes.
But suddenly recollecting herself, she
added, hastily, "I beg your pardon,
sir; you must think a vagabond like
me very impertinent' to talk" bo to a
gentlemen. Many thanks for your
kindness ; I'll reBt here, with your
leave, until the dizziness in my head'
has passed away."
Robert Biakely lingered for a mo
ment, as though he would have liked
to oontinue the conversation, but Slid
ing she did not speak again, but sat
holding her head between ber hands,
he remounted his horse and rode af
ter his companion, who was by this
time some distance up the road.
"Whatastrange woman!" he said,
as he reioined Pontifex. "My name
seemed quite familiar to her appear
ed to reoollect my father spoke quite
like a person of education, too."
"Of course you warned her to quit
the neighborhood?'' said Pontifex
hastily.
"No, she- will get away quickly
enough, for the fear of that- ruffian."
Mr. Pontifex was very thoughtful
during the remainder of-the ride, and
proposed that they should out across
he country instead of returing by the
road.
"Robert Blakeley's son !" repeated
the woman to herself. "Only to
think only to think of that! Can
that be tbe one who was lost? I
should like to know that I should
like to know that! I will try and find
out."
CHAPTER HE
A SOLDIER OF GABIBALDL'S.
Among the passengers who arrived
one even!ngr,at the London Bridge
Station by tbe tidal train- from Poyer
was a stalwart, handsome young man
with a face bronzed by exposure to a
foreign sun, a full beard and mous
tache, and daTk flashing eyes, which
gave to hie firmly cut features an ex
pression of stern determination, un
usual in one so young.
Over hia dress, which was plain,
and of a fashion, bo wore a large mili
tary cloak. A small portmanteau
constituted hfs entire luggage, and
these he deposited in the cloak room.
After taking some refreshment at
tbe bar he sallied forth from the sta
tion, and, crossing over Loudon
Bridge, took his way into the City.
Many a passer-by turned round to
admire his- handsome figure, aud to
stare at his strange dress. But, with
out appearing to notice tbe observa
tions which he excited, he walked
rapidly along, looking neither to the
right nor the left.
When he arrfvecf at the Bank he
mounted to the top of a "Favorite"
omnibus. He got down a& the "Ang
el," and Btood for a moment to look
about him.
"Just the same,'' he muttered ; "no
change here. I can fancy myself a
youth again, looking upon the great
world for the first time. Can it be
possible that lam tbe same being? It
seems to me ratheras tbe dim memory
of some former state of existence."
He sighed, and crossed over to St.
John's Road, down whloh he pro
ceeded until he came to a certain
dingy-looking house. Here he stop
ped and knocked at the door.
"Does Mrs. Gripley still live here?"
he inquired of trie slatternly servant
who answered his eummonBr
"Yes, sir," she replied, dropping a
curtsey, and looking awe-Btrloken at
Buoh a visitor. Then, running ud to
the top of the kitchen staircase, cried
out, "Missus, you're wanted!"
"Who is it?" asked" a voice from
beneath.
"A gentleman," was the answer.
"Stay," said tho stranger, with
something of a foreigu Intonation in
hl9 voice ; "as an old friend, of Mrs.
Gripley's, I will take the liberty of
going down-staire?"
And, suiting the action to the word
the next moment he stood' in the
presence of the astonished lady.
"You will not remember me," he
said, dofflng.his haf, and holding out
his hand ; although I well remember
you."
Mrs. Gripley was very little ohang
ed since last We saw her, save that
her hair was gray, and that Bhe had
grown much stouter.
"I knowthe'voice," shosaid, doubt
fully, "but not the face."
"Do you remember Charle6?" he
asked, smiling.
"Lawks a mercy on us! "she ejacu
lated. "You don't mean to say that
you're that delicate-looking, quiet
youth, that Well, I never! Well,
I am glad to see you ! I took a fancy
to you from the first. But, dear me,
what a change I Why, have you
been soldiering?"
"A little," he answered, lau
litnrr
o""fc-
"But the first thing jl wish to
know
is, can you accommodate me with a
bedroom? I have just arrived" from
the continent, and have not yet
pitched my tent."
"Yee, I've' got your olil bedroutn,
and I have had it fitted up afresh
lately. You'll find it much more
comfortable,' she answered.
"That WJli do. What has become
of your old ludgers? Neither of them
with you now, I suppose? ''
"Yes, Mr. Kaufman "
"What!" he cried, eagerly, "Mr,
Kaufmau with you still ?"

Dear Brethren Sunday and
Monday, October 22u, aud 23d, 1876,
having been desiguuted aa davs of
United Prayer in behalf of Bupuay
Schools throughout the world, the of
ficers of our association are desirouB
that the workers in the State should

Inasmuch as a large proportion of
our schools are held in neighborhoods
whose populace is widely scattered,
rendering it impracticable to carry
out fully the plan of the committee
issuing the call, we recommend the
following as substantially eovering
their programme :
I. That every minister of the gospel
in the State, upon Saturday. October
22d, preach a speoial sermon upon the
claims of Sunday Schools.
II. That the session of each Sunday
sohool be preceded or followed by
devotional exercises, interspersed
with singing and appropriate addres
ses. III. That Sunday evening a special
service be held for the extension of
the work in our State.
IV. That Monday evening each
church and congregation in our cities
and villages, and each school in all
counties, hold a meeting at which
the Interests of the Sunday Soheol
snail lorm me theme of the prayers
and addresses.
We trust' Nebraska's schools will
unite heartily in these services. Not
more than one-fourth of our children
are" members-of our Sunday Schools.
What proportion of those whoarffBafe
in the fold ?
Lord, It is nothing with Thee to
help.whether wtih many, or;themt hat

CAMPAIGN
CHICAGOTRIBUNK
FOE HAYES AND WEBELEE.
The National Republican party lias placed
its ticket and platform before the An?ertnn
people. Tut Presidential Campaign wlli It
one of the most exciting aud import . i thnt
has ever occurred In the T'nltcd Statee Tha
result of the ontt-Bt will determine thelu
ture good or 111 of the country for a genera
tion to come.
The Democratic-Confederate alliance is !fco
same In character and spirit ab when one
wing resolved that the war for tli Union"
was a "failure." and tho othor wing tried
desperately to make it a failure. They are
now a harbor of refuge for heotlonalanlmoH
ities and prosla7ery sentiments Sine
coming Into control of the popular brai.ch
of Congrets they have exhibited r.o statt.
manahip. no wisdom nor patriotism notu
Injr but obstructive policies and aetrueti tf
purposes, Bhowing themselves Incapable of
progress or even of eomprchpudlng tbtv
wants of the country. They only "nieddlw
and muddle." with all their promises and"
I pretensions they have proven ntter futlurvs
in dealing wiin questions oi .taxation.
Tariff", Revenue, Currency or Reform.
If the Government again pause Into the
hands of the Democratic-Confederates and
they secure possession of tbe pnrse and the
sword, the array and the navy, the executive
authority and the law-making power, thry
will substitute reaction for progress and re
establish a reign of terror and a system o.f
peonage In the South, and ballot-box bind
ing and corruption in the cities of the North
Prudence admonishes that "the destinies of
the country in peace should be confided to
those who saved it In war."
If the ascendency of the Republican paf7
is to be maintained, no agency HI b-mort
useful and potential to that end than tho
CBTCACSo Tkibojje which has no superlor;in
power and Influence among Republican
