THE VICISSITUDES OFLIFE.
BY MISS C. A. BLODGETT.
CONTINUED.44 Notwithstandine we have stack
ed our guns and laid by our uniform.feel that the battle Is but half fought
yet.""Why not? The Insurgents have
all laid down their weapons and re-turned peacefully to their homes, havethey not ? To what then do you re-fer?" Inquired Mrs. Lazelle of herhusband.
" I refer to the belligerents at home.who are so seductively underminingthe best government the world eversaw."
" Explain what you mean, husband.ao not quite understand you."
I mean the sending of such menas that infamous St. Clair to Washington."
" lias be been renominated ?"" Mot yet, but he will be. He Is
the most popular aspirant before theopposition party."
"There surely can be no convention that would nominate him ! Whybe entirely dissipated "
"That Is the principal ground onwhich he bases his expectations ofsuccess. He says tliat this Is a necessarv Qualification for a Doliticiannow-a-day- s, and boasts that be Is considerably above tbe general averageat Washington, for he Bays he neverdnnas wnen mere is any importantbusiness before the bouse, while therearea pood many older members thanhimself that are partially intoxicatedall the time, both in the Senate and
the House. He asked me thismorning for whom I was going toelectioneer. I told him for an honestman if there was one left in the na-tion."

" I am afraid we shall have a veryexciting campaigu this fall, I reallywish it was over."
I wish we were prepared for it i
but our rus'r, worn out political ma- -chinerv is not fit to c&rrv us throughsuch an ever tfui crisis. It sometimesseems to me the South is not the onlyportion ofcountry laid waste and madedesolate by tbe war. If the men athome instead of standing with blanched cheeks, streaming eyes, and countenances aghast, watebmg witn sucbeager solicitude the result of armsabroad, had guarded a little morecarefully the interests at home, it orwould be much better with us to-da-y
thaa it is. Why intemperance hasrun rampant with tbe public mind,and if cotton is no longer king, wehave one more unfeeling in his stead.Alcohol to-da-y holds the reins of this togovernment, and guides the ship ofState. And look at tbe men to wnom
has intrusted the interests of thisnation and it is expected this fa'l tosend a large reinforcement to Wash-ington, fully committed to the whiskyinterest,"
"But can there not be somethingdone to arrest the progress of thisevil?"
"That question is more easily askedthan answered. Tbat somethingshould be done is too evident to needdemonstration. But how to carryforward the work is a problem for notnhilnnnrchpr Am! BdlfAampn t anlr-- " the
" Can it cot be accomplished byeducating the people?" my
" Excuse me, wife, but you talk as butone of tbe 'foolish women,' if you toexpect avarice and appetite to let gotheir hold upon this people by thesimple asking." ,
"How do you think the evil is to be atremedied?" to
" What is it that gives a man power''"One thing is the ballot, andanother way is by putting him intooffice."
" Well, sooner allow a child to playwith unsheathed steel, or an insaneman to revel mid loaded musketry,than place political power in the nohands of a man who is the slave ofeither appetite or mammon."
"But we cannot exclude such men upfrom the ballot."
"No, certainly not; but I do wishmight interpose someinfluence to offset their votes and
prevent their election to office.""You know our Democratic gov-
ernment Is founded upon theof equality to ail."
"Of course such men will be allowthe franchise as long as they are
American citizens, but tbe most hopefeature in the case is the fact that
they form the preponderance of thevoting element of this country."
" Well, we must all be patient and Mr.industrious, and perhaps iu the course
time we shall see some of the difficulties obviated."
" Yes, and we may possibly be swal-lowed up in the vortex of ruin while we

the country again deluged inblood." I
"That is exactly what papa saidabout secession, but it did not prove
he anticipated," replied Mary veryinto the room Just in time to hearlast remark.. ject
" I tell you that while the men who Youmake and execute our laws love thisdemou rum so well themselves, it is ofequally vain for ns to expect any thingfrom them. The sin lies with thepeople, and God will bold us accoun-table for its extirpation. We must

been asking me, and I tell ber itmore easily asked than answered.

" Well, what means nav we now atwamsmAa?" fxrat

'Jim, who is under arrest for stealingalop chain, or "
" How could you have seven votesif vou were in the Southa nyoneior mjseir ana one lorevery three negroes. I have now tennefrroes working for me, the onlvfererJce jg they not slaves. I faitnwith my wife to stand at the head ofa respectable household. Sixteen hu- -man interests are centered here, andnot less than two hundred thousanddollars' worth or property, yet a I
gv vote must represent the whole.persons, property, education, all, andthat vot overwhelmed by drunkenJim's and Lieut. St. Clair's, both ofwnom are or tne opposition party, lwish my wife could " vote, I have nothalf tbe education ahe has."
"Supposing she could, your votewould just neutralize Jim's, and hepswould offset Mr. St. Clair's, and thenwe would be just where we should ifyou all stayed at home and didn'tvote at all."
"Then If you and Fannie couldvote, we should be two votes ahead."
" Well, there should be some otheropposition votes some where else tocounteract ours."
" Rather yours would . counteracttheirs; and that is the way in whichI hope to see tbe work accomplished.If we can but counteract tbe evil,there is hope that some day there willbe a preponderance in favor of theright."
"But I am only sixteen you mustremember; perhaps by tbe time lamold enough to vote, I shall be allowedtbe privilege. Then doubtless the ex-isting social evils will suddenly disappear." retorted Mary, jestingly."
" I always have to be reminded ofyour age, or I never can remember It,vou seem so much older. But serious-ly, when you and your sex are allow-ed the ballot, I shall have no furtherconcern for the cause of temperance."
The conversation is here interrupt-ed, and a vistor announced. As it isonly Mr. St Clair, (and he calls quitefrequently,) he is invited into the li-
brary to take part in the discussion." There is a very interesting ques-
tion before the house, perhaps youwill be able to decide its merits," in-terposed Mary.
" If all that are here present havebeen unable to do so, I should dislike
undertake it," replied Mr. St Clair,modestly.
" Mr. Lazelle says the great want ofthe nation is a purer ballot ; and tbequestion is, would the ballot be madepurer or better if women were allow-ed to vote?" .
" Well, I can answer that questionwithout the slightest hesitation, thatit would not, but that it would imme-diately become worse. Why all theilliterate, uncouth, uncultured, andintemperate women in the countrywould rush to the polls en ma&x, andall the refined and cultivated wouldstay at home; and all respectablemeu would at once forsake the placeof voting. Why I would never gonear the polls again it women wereallowed to go there !"
" Then in just Ave years you willbe disfranchised, for as soon as I amold enough to be entitled to vote, Ishall go to the polls, and though Imay be ostracised, 1 shall neverthe-less stay there and watch the move-ments and study the characters of mypolitical superiors and legal sover-eigns, and I shall thereby poll asmany votes as my presence keeps, ofsuch men as yourself and others likeyou, away from the place of voting,for of course we should always voteopposite tickets."
" What grounds have you for up--posing the class or women, to wnicuyou refer, would be the only class to ir,vote, ana mat ail repeciaDie menwould absent themselves from thepolls?" inquired Mr. Lazelle. "Onlygive my wife and Mary the opportunity or exercising tneir inherent right
American citizens, and l think sir,you would find that they would notshrink from the Heaven-impoR- ea
duty that they owe to humanity,their country and their tiod. Andthink, too, tbat I should rather meetsuch women at. the booths, than thethick-tongue- d, weak-knee- d, andweaker-braine- d men X usually unathere, and if a large proportion of thatclass of men should prefer stayingaway, I believe that their presencecould be dispensed with, witu no veryserious loss to the nation."
Well, supposing all should vote :
wives would vote with their hus Ibands, young ladies with theirsuitors.those they hoped would some day
become such, and the vote would sim-ply be increased, though not materi ofally chansred."
" How would it be with the gentlemen who met ladies there they hoped
make wives some day 7'That is a different feature of the
question altogether. Usually menchoose their wives, and obtain themtoo. without much difficulty. X hardlythink many of them would nave tosacrifice their votes tn tne cause,"and he looked admiringly at the brassbuttons and shoulder straps be stillwore as an evidence that he was aman of rank.
I think I could mention Instanceswhere wives would not vote with theirhusbands. Jim's wife for example;and where young ladies votes would
be very easily swayed. X'U giveyoung man a farm that could
cause Mary to change hers. Of coursewife and myself would vote alike erall families are not so fortunate as
be agreed on the great question ofthe day."
Excuse me, out mere are so manyexciting topics before the public mind
the present time, that X am unabledetermine tne particular theme you
may nave in view."X refer, sir, to the subject or tem
perance, mis must be the next greatnational issue."
"Mr. Lazelle, you astonish me byspeakingof this as a national issue.Temperance is a question of mere in-
dividual interest, and the nation hasbusiness whatever with It. I be-
lieveto
in temperance as much as anyman, but when you come to mix it
with politics, I can't agree withyou."
"How would you Lave the questionhandled V
"As a purely moral one, and notconfounded with the immoral associ-ations of politics."
"And to whose care would yonit, taking it entirely out of the by
bands of politicians ? To theI surmoee."
"Not by any meaus; for if there isanything I hate, it is the mixing ofpolitics with religion."
"Or religion with politics," thoughtLazelle, but he only said: "I
thought you die not consider temper-ance a political question !"
"True, I do not, but there are somewell (here Mr. St Clair run his
through hts whiskers severaltimes quite hurriedly), there are a
persons who are trying to givequestion that shape, and I well Ilo see the ministers avoid the
very appearance of evil, you know.""Well, then, you would commit it tethe care of the press, I suppose; and
allow the newspaper kingdom towork out the world's great enigma?"
"If there is another thing I hate, ita temperance newspaper. I do not as
to see the press trammeled.""How do you like the lecture plan?""If there is anything that I abom-
inatetill
it is the temperance lecturer,through the country stirring up tbeminds of the people, anddiscord and disunion among com-
munities and families, setting a wifevariance with her husband, and
children in opposition to their father.tell you these men ought not to be
tolerated by any respectableand the faet is they are not
popular, and I am glad of it.""Mr. St Clair let us review the sub
and see how you stand upon ttwould not allow the politician to
meddle with it; you nave taken it outthe hands of the minister, the
and the press, tbe three mostagencies the world ever knew;
where will you plaee it pray?" out"Oh, I'd ;" "why, I would leaveIn the hands of the Sunday school
teachers and Sunday-schoo- l Superin-tendents; and people might talk moreabout It at tbe fireside, and."
"Might talk, but I suppose yon awould object to their acting.1'
,4Oh, not in proper way, thevmight form temperance societies Ifthey wanted to; lr they would only
politics and religion out of themwouldn't mind Joiilng such amyself."
"Then I am lost In time to obtainkntar to ths p'.odj I am eir--
culatingin the neighborhood. Wearegoing to form a tempersne society,and want as majy men of influenceas we can find to'help u start," re-marked Marj-- , and Mr. Lazelleexcusing himself, followed hiswife to the sitting room, and theywore alone.
"What Is the natur of the societyyou wish to form ? I shall have toinvestigate it Defore I con commitmyself on the subject. Is it secret inany of its workings ?"
"It has its passwords, grips.and sig-nals, which are understood only by itsmembers."
"Then I could not posih!y Join itfor I believe when people are work-ing only for the good of humanftythere is no reason for secret or darkdesieus."
"But you belong to secret politicalsocieties."
"But thev have a different obiect inview."'
"Yes, I have no doubt, an objectquite adverse to the good of humanityhence t 'eir right to veil it with se-cret or dark designs."'
"But where do you obtain the au-thority for your organization. Themost important of the secret societ esto which I belonz gives an authorityas ancient as the Levitieai law."
"I must confess, Mr. St. Clair, thatour society does not claim eitherMoses, Abraham, or Solomon, as itsfounder; neither does it invest itselfwith any of the mysteries of antiquity, or deify itself as a god of mytholo-gy, and yet I think that for numbersor influence it. may cope with any order of our own or other lands, eventhough it may claim an orisrin so ancient that we are left to conclude thatthe forming of a lodge must havebeen part of the work of creation."

"Come, Mollie, and listen to some-thing I have to say to you on quite adifferent subject. The Convention havenominated me for the next Congress,and a.s my name is on the ticket be-longing to tbe dominant party of thiscongressional District, there isnoreasonable ground to doubt that I shallbe elected. Besides. I have a greatmany private friends in botu partieswho are doing all they can for me.anda great many of both parties will votefor me simply from the fact that I amor have been a soldier, and partly disabled during my service In the Unionarmy. (The being disabled consistedof having received a few buckshot inthe left hand ). But it is not aboutthe election I want to speak fartherthan to prove its certainty, but "(hereMr. St. Clair again thrust his fingersviolently through his whiskers)" butabout about the winter at Washing-ton."
"Really, Mr. St Clair, I hope you'llhave a veiy pleasant time among thecelebrities or tnatmetropntan city.--
nhem !! I think I mutt have taken cold last night there seems to besuch dryness about the throat butwhat I was going to sa-vi-
. was ahemwould you not like to spend the win-
ter at ahem ! our national captalaiso :'"Why, I am notelected to any suchhonor, my name is not on the ticket"
"But you're election can be easilymanaged. You hold entire empireover one heart, and the consent ofthat heart is all that is needed to secure you an honorable position amongthe distinguished of the world's metropolis," replied Mr. StClair,breathing a little more freely.
"Then why do you ask for mine?"retorted Mary unfeelingly.
"Oh, of course, tht is understood,cannot take you without your con
sent but I hope you will not thinktoo lightly of the distinguished hon
I confer upon you. To be the wifea Member of Congress places a wo
man in a veryenviaoie position."Just at this moment the door-be-ll
rang violently, and Ben, who hadbeen entrusted with the new team to Atake Miss Clara and Master Benny inout r'.ding, stood terrified and almostbreathless before them, exclaiming."Oh, Lor! Missus," here Lis convul-sive sobs completely choked his ut-terance, and they could get nothing Amore satisfactory rrom him than that inthe horses "they" . But Mr. La-zelle
edunderstood in a moment what
had happened, and mounting thefleetest horse was soon on his way tothe scene of disaster. Here a brokenwheel, and there an axle, and by andby, a carriage robe, soon confirmed his lyworst apprehensions. But what werethese these broken fragments of aglittering toy aye, they had not pow
to arrest for one moment his wildearnest attention for the safety of tbetreasured jewels he had to this broken bycasket trusted. Still he found no tra-ces of the treasure sought Ah ! wherecould it be concealed? Surely thepure spirits could not have fled, andthe spiritless caskets been dashed toatoms.
Soon he came to a house, where aporter was watching at the gate, whotold him that his child was there, andstill alive. He put tbe bridle in theporter's hand, and with a choking ut-terance, bade him say to his wife thesame comforting words he bad spoken
him, for there is comfort in knowing there yet is life, to the heart sink-ing between fear and despair. WhenMrs. Lazelle received this uncertainnews, there was a momentary relaxa-tion of the clenched muscles, as if forjoy; then she was left for an hour tothe vague uncertainty of whether itwas alive and well, or mangled anddistorted perhaps expiring in agony.Her suspense wa at length relieved
the appearanco of a nastily con-structed litter, borne by the distressedfather and sympathizing physicianand some other friends, alternated by
friendly aid of manyneighbors.
Who can imaglnethe feeiingsof themother's heart as she bent over thechild, unable to divine tbe extent of ingsuffering it was at that moment en-during, or the uncertain conflict itmight be holding with the great de-stroyer. The father mingled his tearswith hers, but consoled her with thewords of the physician, tbat if shelived past midnight he thought therewould be no danger. That she wassuffering from a stunning blow, and
could not yet determine how se-
rious might be the injury, but therewas no external sign of serious harmexcept the breakiug of the right arm, tillwhich would be attended to as soon
the crisis was over.With tearful, prayerful, anxious so-
licitude did the fond parents watch itsuch time as their trusted family
physician gave it as his opinion that himdanger was past It was alsod that Benny too had suffered con-
siderably from the severity of themanner in which they were precipi-tated from the carriage against thehillside, but that he was not at alldangerously injured, and would bebrought home in a carriage in the atmorning.
This relieved the minds of the anx-ious sisters, and after the assurancethat Clara breathed more freely, andthat the crisis in her case was
past, all except the untiringand mother retired to their rest. A
more days of anxiety aud it wasevident that the children were both
of danger, and aflairs at the "Re-treat" the name by which the La-zelle mansion is known, have

among all, the great thing desird ; thepoorest peasant has at least some trif-- i
ling pittance laid by, with parts ofwhich he intends to endow his chil- -dren when tbey marry. There is the I
same diplomatic negotiation among .
them, when a marriage is to be ar-- :ranged, as takes place in the upper ;
circles. Marriages of the "eomtnerei- -al" sort are, however, not so general i
among the peasants as among their I
social betters. The parties immedi- -'
atcly concerned are more frequently 'consulted as to their inclinations. Thefirst move is made after a preferencehas been manifested among the young l
peasants themselves. A young man i
sees a lass who pleases him. He j
makes certain advances rather bashfully; she responds by tokens equallyshy. It comes to be generally under-stood in the village tiiat Jacques andNanuine will "make a match" ifthey can. Then occurs a remarkableevent There Is in Brittany a curioussuperstition or rather a superstitious tradition about tailors. It is de-rived from some ancient legend whichhas endowed the village tailor with apeculiar sacredness and reverence.The tailor lia default of a notary) iscalled upon to settle disputes, to teachthe children with tbe priest, and toadvise the good folks in all domesticor social difficulties. His peculiar pre-rogative is to negotiate marriages.The young man who is taken with thepassion that comes in time to all findshim a trusty adviser, engages him toarrange a marriage with the damsel',parents, and to vicariously "pop thequestion." There is a Breton sayingthat the tailor could, and he would,"marry a Turk to a Jewess." Another diplomat in marriages, the tailor'srival, is he who is called the "marrying beggar," who has similar prerogatives in this metier, rne tailor, whenhe enters upon a marriage negotiation,carries with him, as a symbol of hisoffice and a hint of his errand,broomstick (in low Breton called "baz- -
valan"), making the object of his visit clearly known to all concerned.For his services he receives an invitation to the wedding feast, and pres-ents of clothes and money. The brideis also fain to give him a pair ofstockings with yellow rims, sometimes a yellow stocking for one foot.a red one for the other. The tailor,according to tradition, not so favorable to him, must remain a bachelorit is a disgrace to parents to marrytheir daughter to blm. He is the confidant both of the parents and the lovers, and is consequently profound inall tbe domestic and interesting sec-rets of the neighborhood. He is theuniversal judge of the scandals ; hemakes it a point to keep his mouthtight while his ears are open and sois a mentor to all. When the tailorhas brought the parents of the twolovers together, there ensues an animated bargaining about tee dowries.It is a shrewd, mercantile negotiation, Iusually, with the mediation of thetailor, ending in n treaty mutuallysatisfactory. Once in accord, the parties proceed to seal the contract bydrinking as much of tbe best wine tobe had as each can master; afterwardseating themselves about tho table,and smoking the pipe of peace, alli-ance, and concord. The lass who isthe subject of discourse is pern analistening, earsall agape; nutters withthe momentary doubtfulness ; goeswild with joy over the conclusion.Afterward bath families meet at the lycabaret and formally sign the contract, which the tailor has drawn opin true legal shape; adjourning to thefarms of each family to inspect theproperty, and to exhibit the substan-tial evidences that the dowry promisedwill be forthcoming.

Test of Actual Death.A positive method by which real ofdeath may be distinguished readily
from that which is apparent only hasbeen for a long time a desideratum,and prizes of considerable value haveat various times rxeu onereu ior tneannouncement of some unerring testto determine between the two.Among others proposed for this pur-pose is the application of a few dropsof a solution of belladoua to the eye.If life be present moments a dilation of tbe pupil will be observed,very easily noted in comparison withother eye, which has not been so treated. This Is so indepedendent of thecondition of the eye that it is evenobservable In case of complete amaur-osis or of paralysis, and is appreciable Iwhen all the ciliary nerves have beencut; and it may even be noted uponan eye that has been removed fromthe orbit as long as muscular contrac-tility remains. Whenever, therefore,its application produces no effect what Iever upon tne eye, we-- may as-

How a Flirtation Euded—One DollarPer Day for a Street Corner.
On Wednesday a romantic lookingindividual of the male persuasionmade himself prominent by standingon the northwest corner of Congressand Second streets and making at-tempts to engage in flirtation withsome of the young ladies attendingthe Female seminary. He was gotup regardless of expense, and hisbeauty was heightened by an incip-ient mustache, and by his hair beingparted In the middle. He remainedon the corner for about five hours.and then, with seeming regret at his
retired. Next day ho tookthe same position, and went throughthe same performance, to the greatamusement of the lawyers who occupy the building oo the corner. Hissuccess was no more marked than ithad been tbe day previous, but bewas a fellow of infinite perseveranceIt seems, and yesterday he again at-tempted to secure tbe notice, if notthe souls of the young ladies. Thelawyers, who before had laughed atthe silly fellow, now became disgustedwith bis doings, and they determinedto get rid of him. A bill, readingsomething like this, "Mr. Blank to EL.

A Pleasant Romance—A Secretand a Saved Property.
In one of the boarding houses nnonthe Fast side of Main street there occurred a singular incident last Monday night A very respectable younggentleman and refined young lady.who had resided in the house for oversix months as single persons and mereacquaintances, suddenly announcedto their rellow boarders that they wereman and wife,andbadbeensoforsometime. The following little circum-stance tbeyoung gentleman related asto the cause of their secrecy. Two orthree years ago he had boarded in thefamily of a very wealthy oid gentle-man at Nashville, Tenne-wee- . Thisold gentleman quarreled with hiswife, and having taken a strong lik-ing fur the young gentleuian in qu- -
informed him that he wi.uldwill all of hi property to him on con-dition that he would marry hi onlydaughter. This the young u:au refus-ed to do, as be loved another, andthat he knew that tbe daughter'saffections were centered elm: herethan upon him. But the old gentle-man, whom ill health bail tnivle iras-cible, stoutly asserted that unless bewould agree to the transaction heshould leave his money to some char-itable institution; and the youngman, who was not very well posted inlegal matters, thinking to do the wifeand daughter a service, agreed to theproposition, and the will was madeand the old man tame to the easternpart of this State to receive medicaltreatment iae young man shortlyafterward married the lady of hischoice and came here to live, but, ashe says, in order to prevent the oldgentleman from williug his propertyaway to charitable institutions, bismarriage was kept a secret and biswife and himself lived together in tbe TM
same house for months as friends sim-ply. Last Sunday, however, a tele-gram was received announcing thedeath of the oid gentleman, and tbeyoung man, having made overall ofhis right and title to tbe extensiveestate of the family of the deceased,now publicly announces bis marriage,and is happy.

Talk of the Improbabilities and Im-possibilities of sensation novels asmuch as you please, their incidents areoften surpassed by the developmentsof the divorce courts. Wilkie Collinsor Mrs. Wooda never ventured on a aromance, with a plot such aa this,which Is nothing more than the syllabus of a divorce case tried in NewYork city last Saturday, in the Supreme Court, before Judse Jones : Ascheming mother-in-la- offended at fher daughter-in-la- otters a son for000 to divorce bis wife. The son, whoseems worthy of such a mother con-sents. Tne wife, deservedly boun-- tosuch a husband, secretly agrees to tbeseparation on the faith of a promise tomarry her again as soon as tne mother had been robbed or her530,000. Arascally book-keepe- r, worthy of such anda master, swears to thecoriimLssion ofadultery with the wife, and the di to
tovorce is granted. Very naturally seena husband refuses to ry sucb awife, and quite natural the wire goesinto Court, exposes the conspiracy,and makes humanity blush at iu base-ness.
Nothing baa been more obnoxiousto Miss Susan B. Anthony ai)d Eliza-beth Cady Stanton than thai clausein the Bible which says : "Wives sub-mit yourselves to your husbands."It has beeu a perpetual lion In theirpathway and a stumbiing-bloc- k to re-form In the matter of women's rights.At their recent Convention open warwas made upon this scriptural Injunc-tion, and it was expressly repudiatedby resolution. It was declared thatthis behest should be thrown asidewith the exploded theories of king-craft
I
and slavery. Tbe venerableMrs. Stanton went so far as to boldly -demand a revision of the Hcriptures,with special reference to tbe views sheadvocate. Moses she tied to Mon-tesquieu, and threw both overboardcomplaining that "men had invaria-bly translated the Bible hitherto," andcontended that "if women were nowallowed to try their hand, we shouldhave another and improved version."
