The June rose9 were showering their rosy leaflets down over the lawn which sloped to the river, like an expause of emerald velvet; the apple trees bad just lost their mantle of pink bloom, and the robins were singing, a whole orchestra of mad music, in the thickets that skirted the water. Nature wore her gala dreas on this radiant day in early summer, and yet Mr. Charles Sedley was not contented. Not contented, although he owned the old stone house, whoso castellat ed towers rose through the trees like a glimpse of some old English baro tiial hall although his own broad and fertile acres smiled at him, a glimpse of Arcadia. Was Aladdin contented iu the enchanted palace? Wero Adam and Eve contented in 1'aradise? Is auy one over con tented ? "Yes it is all very protty, said he languidly, as he stood on the marble faced terrace, with Geo. Alden by his side. "I am thinking of laying out a rosery down in yonder hollow, and a tropical fern house to the left.' George Alden smoked desperately at his cigar. 'I say old fellow said he, 'it must be no end of a task to be rich ! I wish I could afford to live in this sort of style but, unluckily, I have no rich uncle to die and lcavo me half a million of dollars.' 'But it was not half a milliou !' 'Well, no matter. When once you get in tho hundred thousands a fig ure or so more or less don't make much difference. Isn't it awfully jolly out here?' Rather lonesome, sometimessaid Charles, with a shrug of his shoul ders. Then why in the name of Cupid' and all his angels don't you get mar ried? Oh, I beg you pardon! I'd forgotten that old love quarrel with Rosamond Towers. But thero are moro girls than one iu the world.' Not Ionic!' Well, tastes diflcr. Don't you remember the old couplet if she bo not fair to me, what care I how fair she be?' 'By I he way, I saw Rosamond yesterday.' 'Saw Rosamond Towers!' Sedley gave a quick start and a deep Hush diffused his face. 'She is married.of courso ?' he 6aid. Not a bit of it nor likely to bo; but ub beautiful aud imporial as ever. Slio came to sec my aunt, and what do you suppose her business was? 'How should I know?' 'Such a lark ! She was lonesome, too, like the lord of Sedley Manor, aud she wants aunt Panic I ia to pick her out somo nice little boy to adopt and briug up. Don't you wish you were six years old, with a blue checked charity apron aud tow hair shaved close to your head.' Charles smiled gravely. It would be rather a temptation, I confess. But come, you haven't seen the place where I am going to build an observatory on the top of the Hall.' While Charles and his friend were strolling over the picturesque grounds of Sedley Manor, Mrs. Al dan, one of the directresses of tho 'St. Dorcas Orphan Asylum,' was giving a second audience to beauti ful Rosamond Towers. She was only twenty-six. That unfortunate love affair with Charles Sedley had transpired when she was seventeen. Ah! how many long years ago that seemed. Only tweu-ly-Bix, and as lovely as Cleopatra of Egypt. 'I am sorry.dear said Mrs. Alden ; 'but there isn't a child that I think will suit. They arc all such a clum sy, rough-and-tumble set !' 'But I want some one to love,' said Rosamond, pitoously. You don't know what a lonely life I lead.' Well dear, I'll try again. Very likely I will find a child that will be a comfort to you.' 'And when shall I know?' said Rosamond. 'Come here the day after to-morrow, at Ibis time,' said Mrs. Alden, 'and I will have a child here that is, if I can find one.' 'You are so kind,' said Rosamond. 'My dear,' said Mrs. Alden, who had that motherly way about her which is a pass-port to all hearts, 'you should marry and have a home aud household of your own. Ilho't once you would be Charles Scdley's wife.' The color mouutcd to Rosamond's cheek. 'All that is over now,' said Bbe quietly ; and then all of a sudden she broke down. "Oh, I did so wrong,' she sobbed out, her head on Mrs. Alden'B shoulder 'so wroug! It was all my fault ! All my wilful ness and pride! But I love him as well as ever I did, and I shall love him to the end of my life!' 'Go to him, dear, and tell him so.' At this Rosamond only shook her head and colored deeper than ever. 'I could not do that, Mrs. Alden. If he would come to me but that is scarcely likely now.' So Rosamond went away, veiling her bioken heart in artificial smiles. Good Aunt Pamelia cried heartily, that night, when she confided the story to her nephew, Charles Sed ley's dearest friend. 'Can't anything be done, George?' Well, aunt, I'll see.' Rosamond made her appearance the next day but one, eager for tho promised charge. To her surprise, Mrs. Alden was not visible only her nephew George. Rosamond greeted him, not without evident disappointment. 'I hope Mrs. Alden is at home,' said she. 'Oh yes she's at home,' said Geo. rubbing his nose. 'And the dear, little child?' 'Yes,' said George, 'the boy is here.' Dear little fellow!' cried Rosa mond enthusiastically clasping her hands. 'Is ho very pretty ?' 'Well,' said George, 'a woman's idea of beauty varies so, but I sho'd call him tolerably good looking.' 'Blue eyes ?'questioued Rosamond. 'Yes.' 'Does his hair curl ?' 'Like a hop-vine.' 'Oh, how nice!' ejaculated Miss Towers. 'How I long to clasp him iu my arms! How old is he?' 'Never thought to ask it,' said George. 'But of course he can tell himself.' 'I shouldn't wonder,' said George. 'I suppose he's an orphan?' said Rosamond, her voice falling to a pitying cadence. 'Oh yes,' Alden answered. 'Willi no one to take care of hiai or love him ?' Rosamond added. Not unless you'll undertake tho charge.' 'Oh! I love him already!' cried out Rosamond, springing to her feet as she heard advancing footsteps. That's lucky !' said George Alden, for here he comes!' And iu the samo instant, the door was opened, and aunt Pamelia eu- tcred, followed by a tall figure that of Charles Sedley. He held out his hand frankly Rosamond took it tremuouslv. 'I did not expect to meet you, Mr. Sedley.' 'You are not vexod, Rosamond?' 'Oh ! no, no, but' striving to hide her evident embarrassment where is tho boy my little adopted dar ling?' 'Here!' said Charles, laughing. 'Where? You surely do not mean' But I do, though ; I am the per son who wants to be adopted,' said Charles. 'But you're not a little orphan?' 'I am a big ono though !' Nor alone in the world ?' 'Entirely so unless, dearest ' Charles!' 'You will not then adopt me for life, Rosamond?' All playlul badinage had vanish ed from his manner now. He had been intensely grave and serious. Rosamond lifted her eyes tenderly to his. 'Charles, is this true?- Do you mean that you care for me as you once did?' 'Even more, I think, Rosamond. Years have taught me that I cannot do without you!' he answered fer vently. So they were engaged once again, and Rosamond, with blissful tears in her eyes, thanked aunt Pamelia for the happy straiagem that had bro't her face to face with her old lover. 'I'm so glad bo grateful,' said she. And then there was no more talk of adopting a life charge. Rosa mond's existence was complete at last. It is by no means improbable that Bismarck's countel will have to be followed yet : "There should be a disarmament of Europe, in order that men may earn their bread from the soil." A leading English daily declares that out of every five loaves of bread eaten in England iu 18S0 three must come from the United States and Russia. The Pall Mail Gazette, the leading weekly journal of popular opinion, says : "It is now ascertained that we shall require not leas than elghteon million quarters of wheat from outside sources dur ing the coming year, or two million more than was at first officially esti mated. Here lies the paramount necessity for a stronger navy. We cannot afford to run the slighest risk of a temporary blockade. With millions dependent upon countries thousands of miles distant for their daily bread, what would be the re sult of even a fortnight's short sup ply?" In some parts of the conti nent matters are even worse. O. Republican. The Crownlae Iafanay. The Republican several day9 ago slated on the authority of the Deu vor Tribune that the women who fell into the hands of the Utes were outraged by the red demons. The Tribune stated that Its authority was tho testimony of the women under oath, which had gone into the gov ernment records of the case and been suppressed by the authorities of the iuterior department. The following letter, addressed to the editor of the Pueblo, Col., Chieftain, too sadly confirms a statement which, though we quoted it, we deemed iucredlble : Ghkelkv, Dec. 30. Dear Sir: I arise from a sick bed to state a few facts which you and tho people of Colorado demand. Wo three cap tives of tho Utes Mrs. Price, myself and daughter were all interviewed separately, the officers of tho gov ernment putting us under oath to tell the whole truth of our treatment by the Indians aud if they had out raged our persons, aud each of us gave iu our testimony in answer in the affirmative against tho Indians. I gave in my testimony for the use of the government, to do with it just as they should see fit. There was nothing said about its being suppressed on cither side. I just simply gavo my testimony to the government officers innocently sup posing they know their duty aud would do it. I also thought that I had done all that belonged to me to do by telling these officers the-sickening and most humiliating misfor tune that can befall a woman, and if they and the interior department have not done their duty by the people of Colorado, it is they who are to blamo, and not me. On ar riving home iu Greeley I found nivself completely broken down iu mind aud body aud have had a long spell of severe sickness, from which I am just recovering. Yours truly, Mrs. N. C. Meeker. This suppresi'ieri lio ought to cost all the government authorities con concerned iu it their official heads, aud it ought to bring upon the per petrators of the infamy, and upon their accessories the whole tribe that is shielding them the swift fato of annihilation. If this inon stroiH and revoltiug crime is to be farther condoned, by government still treating and negotiating with tho Utes, the west should rise in revolt against tho infamy. For any representative of the west in con gress longer to dally aud triflo with this Indian question ought to seal his political death. Since the above was written, somo particulars of tho cao have come to hand, and will be found on our city page. It seems utterly incredible in view of tho facts, now criminat ing Chief Douglas and others, that the United States government sho'd have for ono moment shielded the incredible brutes. A day of terrible reckoning is at hand for them and for their official protectors. The above Is from tho Omaha lie- publican of tho Gib, aud the follow ing, to which that paper refers, is from the Cheyenne Leader: "Newspaper men havo long known all of the inside history of the cap tivity of the women, but have re frained from using the samo iu deference to tho women themselves. But now that Mrs. Meeker has made public tho story ol''her terrible wrongs, there cau be no harm iu telling all. "Immediately after captivity the women wero forced, under threats of torture and slow death, to yield to the lust of their hideous captors. The women, suffering untold agony on account of the murder of their husbands, and fathor, were dazed and bewildered, and were power less to resist. Poor old Mrs. Meek er, over sixty years of age, aud suffering from a flesh wound in the rear portion of tho thigh, became the victim of Douglas, who after ward boasted of his protecting care. Josephine Meeker was held by Per Bune, and Mrs. Price by Johnson. The unbearable indignities were simply augmented by other Utes, friends of the three mentioned. In the hellish outrages tho bucks wero assisted by squaws. These female savages seemed to gloat over the horrors perpetrated upon the white captives of their own sex. "During their captivity the suffer ings of the tliree women "were inde scribably horrible. The hulliau fiends renewed their crimes time and time again. Tho Roor women feared they would never be deliv ered from a thralldom worse than death, for death is unconsciousness, while their existence was a living death and an earthly hell every day. "As if all this were not sad enough, the woes of young Josephine are increased .by a condition that is be lieved to be horrible iu the extreme. Female acquaintances say that a knowledgo thereof causes a shudder to rack the frame of everyone who hears the sad, sad tale. "Under all these circumstances would nut the lynching of the guilty hostiles bo justifiable? Would men men, iu whom pulsates the gen erous throb of humanity, stop in the work of exterminating those beings who aro worse than the brutes of the jungle, although of "tho human form divine." Judge Lynch has al ready sufficient evideuce to condemn the guilty ones with Gen. Hatch, and wehoje to have the extreme pleas ure of recording their death by the hands of indignant citizens. Lynch ing W their just duo, aud we think it Is their doom." GratM an a Soarco of Wealth. The Lemars (Iowa) Sentinel tells a story which wo have no doubt is true enough, of a man in Woodbury county, iu that State, who in lSfti began by buying four cows.teu sheep and a plug toam of horses: "This absorbed his capital, and he was iu debt for his quarter section ol land. He nover raised wheat, but set himself resolutely to the care of his little lot of stock. Sixteen years havo elapsed, aud ho uow has a Hock of 1,700 sheep, 170 head of cattle, aud 31 horses, all his own, his land paid for, and 1,300 fleeces still to market. He lives in a house that cost him 11,500, and has a barn of about the same value. Ho is to-day worth not a cent less than 120,000 every cent of it made directly from his stock." Now wo ask any farmers of our readers what is thero in the above which cannot bo equalled by any farmer in tho west who knows how to take care of stock properly? The western states aro covered by grass es whiclj, while they may not bo the best knowu for stock, are yet good enough to make a thrifty growth at little or no expense. But how much of the grass of the couutry is fully utilized? Tho farmer who raises graiu for tho market spends all his time in a careless round of grinding toil, to produco something for which he can get scarcely one-third the price the dUtant consumer will pay for it, aud which is constantly sub ject to shrinkage in volume, from the time it is harvested until it is sold. He must keep a number of horMes, to eat up in the winter what ho has bneu able to earu under the boiling heats of summer. He must spend a large part of his earnings in costly machinery, which loses in value from tho time it touches the farm ; and he is compelled by his business to employ a largo force of laborers, who must be fed out of the products of their toil, aud who add so largely to the cares of tho farm er's household as to make life a curse to uiue-tculhs of tho farmers' wives in the west. Tho farmer who raises grain each year takes some thing from the valuo of his lands iu stead of adding thereto a curse which has exhausted tho lands of the eastern states, and is slowly but surely exhausting the fa run of the west. Boone County A etc. It should be borne in mind that scarlet fever and diphtheria are highly infectious diseases, and com ruuuicablo from the clothing of those who come in contact with patients suffering from their effects. A few weeks since an 'employe of one of our principal hotols went to his home suffering from r..i apparently slight attack of dlptheria, from which he subsequently recovered. From him the disease was commu nicated to three children in the family, all of whom had it in its moat aggravated form, and two of whom died. While the children lay sick a very estimable lady friend of tho family called to see them. She, too, on returning to her home, was taken dowu with the disease iu lis worst type, and in a few days suc cumbed to its virulence. In the meantime, a nurso who had attended the children from whom the lady took the disease, communicated it to another family of children, iu which it is now doing its deadly work. These facts warn us that the utmost precaution should betaken, by fumi gation or otherwise, to prevent the spread of this fatal disorder. It id now understood by the medical profession generally that diphtheria i, to a great extent, engendered by bad systems of sewerage, and that it is a species of that blood-poisoning which is itself the result of the action of gases caused by organic matter, both animal aud vegetable, but prin cipally the former, in a stato of decay. Every householder should see to it that the premises which he occupies are perfectly free of sewer gas, that deadly modem agent in the production of disease. Chicayo The beautiful Cincinnati belle who took the veil recently, Miss Law rence Lincoln, belonged to one of the wealthiest and best families of the Queen City. She was broken hearted from a disappointment in love. She went to the altar arrayed iu an elegant bridal dress made by Worth iu Paris and donned the simple habit of a nun in the presence of her mother and near relatives, be sides the officiating priests. Pat-Hell. In reply to an address of welcomo in New York, the great Irish Land Reform Agitator said: "I regret that my power of lan guage is not sufficient to convey to you my appreciation of the kindnesj and honor that you have dons me In meeting me this morning. I feel indebted to you individually and collectively. It has always been s great pleasure to me to come to tho United States of America. I could have wished that tho circumstances attending our native land were of a moro happy and prosperous charac terful we must try and believo that the lime is approaching when we may bo able to speak of Ireland as other men speak of their owu country, aud that wo may be able to speak of her as really one aud among the nations of the earth, as yom havo very well expressed in your ad dresses our bark of double charac ter. We have to aim against a sys tem which causes discontent aud hutfuriug in our country, and we have to endeavor to breakdown that system, aud with God's help we aro determined to break it down. Wo have also to see that tho victims of the system aro not suffered to perish iu the meanwhile. Wo are to take care that the unity aud strength of our people is not broken, and that now, when an opportunity hat really come for the settlement of oue lead ing question in Ireland, (hat the op portunity may not bo lost. Physical suffering and misery, aud starvation of a large portion of our population in Ireland has not been exaggerated. We have been calling on the Gov ernment for eight mouths to relieve that distress, but it has only been within the last few days that tho English Government has agreed to admit there is any distress. This was brought to their notice- by a let ter from theDuchens of Marllo ough wife of the Lord Lieutenant, which stated there was going to be a fam ine aud distress during the coming winter. It is what we havo warned the Government of, and our people, at home and abroad, for some time, aud only now that it is too well spread for almost auy cffcctunl rem edy, the ruler in England appear to understand, at all, their responsibili ty. Wc, who had the working of this great question, and who havo taken the responsibility off the shoulders of the Government, have nut, up lo the present, made any ap peal lo the Government for reliof of tho destitution of Ireland, but we feel that wc cannot longer shut our eyes to the tcrriblo peril that is ap proaching, and that wc ought to put the cane before our own countrymen, at home aud here in America, and oudcavor to enlist sympathy with our efforts. Wc believe that iu this couutry sympathy will bo geuerouj and noble. Efforts of the English press to depreciate the merits of America have no doubt bad their effect, but we know full well our countrymen in America will do their duty, as they have iu overy way, to help I heir suffering brethren nt homo. Iu brief, I confidently anticipate many good results of our mission. I believe the result will be of such a nature as to give pleasure to ns and also give help to our pooplc at home, and I ran only conclude again by asking you to believo that I thank you most heartily for your kindness in meeting us shoulder to tfliouldcr. Again I thank you." (Applause,) (great applause.) Mention lnough tor .Sunday. A little .shoeblack called at the residence of a clergyman of this city and solicited a piece of bread ami some water. The servant was di rected to give the child bread from the crumb basket, aud, as the little fellow was walking slowly away and shifting the gift between his fingers for a piece large enough to chew, the minister called him back and asked him if he had ever learned to pray. On receiving a negative answer he directed him to say, "Our Father," but he could not understand th familiarity. "Is it our father -your father, my father ?'" "Why, certainly." The boy looked at him a while and commenced crying, at the iamo time holding up his crust of bread, and exclaiming between his sobs: "You say that your father is ray father; aren't you ashamed to give your little brother such stulf to eat when you have got so many good ihingsfor your3olf?" A child G years of age, having the the story of the fall explained to her, when she suddenly broke out : "Aunly, when Adam and Evo din obeyed God, why did he not kill them aud begin over agaiu ?" It is difficult to act apart long, for where truth is not at the bottom, nature will always be cudeavorfng lo return ; and will peep out and be tray itself one time cr auother. h ;
