majestie Mark tiik. and her cap, with its
multitudinous cherry colored ribbons,
waa miraculous to behold. Mine host
evidently had on his Sunday black suit
and bad thrust himself into a clem shirt,
starched to an extent thai kept him per
peinlii ular as a grenadier.
It must lie, Uiought I, thai titis is county
[air day; or perhaps Ihey are going to
have H wedding In the bouse.
"By the way, whit was the firing for.
last night?*' I inquired.
"Obi a mere six pounder, sir! but the
bcs| we have in Bmithburgh. The boys
thought they must nave It out In honor Id*
your arrival."
In honor of my arrival*"' ejaculated I,
taken all aback.
"Yea your Excellency. Hut break-fast
is ready. Will your Excelleuc.)
walk in?
My arrival ! my eid llenev I I was s-»
astounded at the sudden distinction with
which I found myself invented, that 1
could only mechanically walk in, and
tyself at the breakmsi t ible
< crtaiolythc "hotel" had put forth its
most strenuous efforts to get up that
breakfast. There were broil d chickens

turkey; there was a roast sirloin of beef;
there was a cold leg of mutton, and a hot
! veal; there were ham and eggs,
and ham without the eggs, and cggH
without the ham; pork and beans; beef
sti ik; cutlets and chops; cabbages, beets,
cauliflowers, tomatoes, and other vege
tames, »i</ libitum; sausages, hominy;
oysters and clams; salmon and shad.
bm-kwheat cakes, biscuit, and johnnv
i-ake; pickles to any extent; pies, cake and
sweetmeats; and whatever else it ever en-tered
into the lead of a country house
will-to pat on a breakfast table, and a
great deal thai never was thought of be
lore for any BUCIJ purpose. And my soli
j utrv chair was the only one H--t lor this
rejlast! It was appalling,
Kor attendants, 1 had the landlord and
the landlady, the young lady "help,'
magnificent in ribbons and jewelry, and
tin liar kec|ier, in blue con? and brass
Imitnn*, and an enormous display of
■ 'Miid. They all four bustled about,

HI s-1 i serve me, while the host, nibbing
; In-hands, and smiling apologetically, re-marki
d:
"S .in we have nothing better to give
yon, sir; bul your coming so privately,
night, look us rather by surprise.
Il"j» you 11 be able to make a breakfast,
sir "
I ate breakfast in amaze, cogitating
aii l ier these extraordinary attentions
could lie the result of the widespread
faun ol the bouse ^f Nary red and Com-pany
or whether I had rally achieved
a distinguiidicd reputation without licing
aw ire op it. At any rale, the breaklks|
wa* -uh-ianlial. and no illusion. I in-wardly
n-solveil I would always pationize
this tavern whenever I came lo Smith J
biirgh.
Itreakfasi was hardly over, before there '
came a rap ;.t the door, followed by the i
announcement that some gentlemen were .
...i in.: to(iay their res|>ects to me. By
this tinu I was ;• i-i being astonished at ■
:,_'. so I unhesitatingly desired
tie in I*) be sle-wii in. The door was
lluni* open, and in bustled a pom|Mius-
_ i Ii rly man. in dark broadcloth,
will. .. huge gold watch seal dangling
from his fob, ;. gold headed cane in his
li iml and a pair of gold >j»- -tacli > astride
hi*now Hi- face was verv red, but a
hiern del nnination was written on every
leatiirc of it. A lank, solemn visaged in
dit'ulunl, aud another, short, stout, and
smiling, followed. Ikhind ihem came, I
-houId think, nearly the entire population
of I lie \ ill ige, of ill ages, sorts and sizes,
squeezing iji MI as to completely till the
room, only leaving a rus|iectful cirtie,
about three feet in diameter, in front ol
me; and ever) one "t* ihem Blaring at
me as hard as be knew how.
Advancing to the verge of this open-ing,
the pompous man, with one arm ex-at
right angles to Ins body, and
the other thrust beneath his coal-Wile,
addressed me alter this fashion:
"Mr. President: Honored and lies

with a strong odorof Bfonongahela whuv

taking the new-comer by the arm ard
leading him up to me, 'here is a gentle-man
that is bound to stand by you

Air. mgeinbotham, his face beaming

town lopsy-tttrvy out of a regard for
privacy!
"Ktiuwcd him!" here burst out an en
ergilic little man, who had been con-versing
lottu voee with Dr. Davis at my
left elbow; "Knowed him! I'd a knowed
bim anywhere. Why, he's just the ;>i<-
lure of himself right'over again, that is,
without Ihe horse. '
"Vour Excellency is a younger looking
man than I expected lo sec,' Bald the
l.'v. Mr. Peterson; "youronerous duties
do not wear upon your health, I trust?
They must be oppressive."
"Ah! yea," said Dr. Davis, whose
plump, oily appearance testified that he
took but little of his own medicine,
"brain, sir. brain." significantly tapping
the Bpol where his own mental app,r itus
was located.
"I reckon there's a right smart deal of
he.nl work to he dune in that silonation ol
bisn," said Mr. Dobson, an honest,
former like looking man, clad in sheep's
gray, addressing the company generally. ]
"Yes, sir!" "That's a lact;" and
"Kaix. ye may say lhat same," chimed iu
a clmrus from the outsiders of ihe circle,
"Would you have any objection, Bir,
said Mr. Hodges, dropping his voice to a
whisper, "lo indicate which way. in
yourcx|iericnccd judgment, our election
is going to g'>?''
"Why really," replied 1. "living as I
do, and taking so little part iu politics. .

•I understand." said he, nodding and
interrupting; "I understand. "mile
right: inyuiii exalted p<~itiun, one caul
be too cautious of what he Bays. You
are quite right. I beg your pardon for
making il,< inquiry. '
Her,-a dead silence ensued for a brief
lime, the insiders of the rirclt api-ar, ntly
being talked out. and the outsiders too
much awe,] by the dis'uity of tlie occasion ,
to venture any remarks.
'i wish Lieutenant Heed was here." al
leng it observed 'Squire Staples; "he'd a
been delighted. I'robably you didn't
know1 him, tan be foughl with you iu
M.xico. He's a giant of a fellow, six

It struck me lhat, although I have
never been in Mexico, yet, if IhWliel-ligerenl

prcssion thai he had fought wih me
there, he might pus-ililv wan t., Ilghl

"May I beg the honor of just one mo

sh.,l,l,y ax* nieel p.rsuiiigc, drawing me
aside by ihccu.it button. "1 am an at

ifor,' would he any chance ol my getting
an office? I wouldn't think of such a
t sa i ii ir if it nasn't for my straitened cir-cumstances.
There really don't seem t<>
benotbing for me to do up hero.'1
Ah! thought I. he is thinking "f going
to'Xew York lo practice, and wants lo
knjavj]„„,i renting an office there. So I
-id bin. "i '<■!! linly. he wuiild have no
dilTlsWrfy in gettiin; one, though il was
rather late in the season."
"Vis, I know thai." said he. "I ought
tii have been on hand on the 4lh of
March. But you really think I could do
something in that way*.' And abiAit how
much do you think it would IHC worth?"'
I told him there was a great difference
in the rents, that they ranged from fifty
dollars up |u live hundred, and even eight
hundred, or nine hundred dollars.
"Yes, so I supposed, by what I seen
about cm in the blue tuck tine ,,t'
Me 111 eight hundred dollar ones would he

I could not help thinking it would he a
long lime before he would do business
enough to warrant him in renting an
eight hundred dollar office. But before
the colloquy proceeded further, it was
broken off by the landlord s bringing Ihe
nformation that il only wan;,,! fifteen
minutes of the time for the down train,
and that "they were.Maiting to escort me
to the cars."
Having by this time come lo the con
elusion that Smithburgh was one vast
asylum and all its population lunatics. I
submitted resignedly to the programme
Ilia: appeared Iu be marked out for me,
I walked out, the crowd within respect-fully
following, and the crowd without
, h., ring vociferously as 1 in ad, my ap-pearance.
Captain O'Flynn'sSmithburgh Guards
were drawn up in a line before the door.
in their gorgeous uniform of yellow
coats with grc, ii i'a, Ings, and blue panta
loons with a red stripe down the side, and
were standing in obedience to the order
"Present anus!" They wheeled into
marching ordi r; the drum and life struck
up "Hail Columbia;'' General Sniuh :<,»,k
me by tin- arm. the other two committee-men
divided between them the honor of
carrying my carpetbag; the cjiizcns
paired off by twos behind us. and away
we inarched to the railruad Station, a
crowd lining the side-walks, ••the ladies"
thronging the windowsand waving white
handkerchiefs; the crowd cheering; ihe
dogs balking; the little buys with sli, ks
anu paper caps inarching alongside, and
General Smith, all the way. pouring into
in\ cars the deep gratitude uf tin (own
for the visit, the equally deep regret tint
Ihey had not hid nine to get up a more
liiiitiitiL' "celebration," and urgent en
treaties that I would r- peat Ihe visit
"when Congress adjourned."
Arrived at ihe car> just in season, I
parted from my hospitable friend.- on the
platform, with more hand shakings, am
a whispered entreaty of "Don't forge
Ihe office," from my shabby genteel
friend; and as the train moved off, nine
stentorian cheers from the assembled
gathering actually drowned the locomo-tive's
whistle.
I had become so used 10 adulation and
and
admiration by my morning's experience.
that I half-expected to he greeted with
similar demonstrations aboara the train;
and half wondered whether the city bells
would 'sir.k'- i.p a peal of welcome in
honor of my return, and whether I
shunld find the Common Council and
General Sandford with ihe First Brigade
ol N. Y. S. M . waiting at the depot to
I escort im to the City Hall.
Nothing ol tin- s'ut transpired, bow
< vt r Nobody look any particular notice
of me, either on the train or when I _"t
ull of ii. I had quite sunk into my origi-nal
insignificance.
I walk'-! h'.ii,- lo in) lodgings without
l exciting an) attention in the streets.
' Beaching there, I pulled off my new
. I««,is. which had proved rather tight, and
-a- down in ei-y slippers to rest and cogi-
I late upon my singular adventures.
San.- willing uii the inside of Ihc
lining of one ol the boots attracted my
notice. I took i' up and read, in a large
round hand, "Franklin I'terce."
The mystery was explained! In lustily
purcliasing ready made ls.ois, I had
bougbta pair made for the President.
When I set tin in out over night lo lie
Ida, kul at the "Smithburgh Hotel," the
waiter ka-1 read the 11.1111'-. and culiimuni
caii d ihe important secret to the land-lord,
from whom it had spread like wild-lire
through the lown. 1 had been pass-ing
with the Sinilhburghen, fur President

1 have nut ventured to show myself in
Smithburgh since, I have never heard of
(iciicral Pierce's going there either. M» I
suppose Ihey are not undeceived to this
day.
MECHANISM OF GENIUS.
"Well, but. Mr. I) lisun, what is elec-tricity
and what ina;iielisin?-' asked
an int.ervicwist the other day al Meulo
1 '.irk. ■*I do not know," sadly answered
the great invcuioi. with a si:h. Wi;h
much tlie same feeling ol mystery and
perplexity must otic answer the query
•What is g, niu- or what talent.'' Il is
bard to define what either is, or ofwhat
they consist. G.nius is generally
deemed some rich Heaven-endowed
gift; an ethereal sp,.rkas it were, which

and yet lien- are those esteemed ge-niuses
who maintain 1 hat their pre-eini-l.
ellee lies u[l:y in their p nv- r ol per-sisleiil
work and concentration.
Tin- fact seems to be that, while a
genius (hi-* seem ;>» have some strange

world that due. not "smell of the

of seeing it page of the manuscript of a
powerful hiiglish novelist. .Itwasa
veritable literary marvel. As pub-lished.
Ihe thoughts fairly glow cd ami
lb,- words burned. Ever) sentence was
strong, complete ami polished. The
whole sounded like a harmonious
strain of melody. The periods seemed
to have leaped itke Minerva, full-pano-plied.
Iroin tin- very hcadol Jove. And
yet the hluircd and blotted manu-script
page—the constant erasures, ad-ditions
and interlineations — plainly
showed that Ibis "geniue," whom the
world admired, wasnollMng but a ball-ing,
limping, shackled human intel-lect

best efleats were the productions of his

The manus.-i iptsol Charles Dickens,

the same bungling, hesitating, pains-taking

printed page*, with lueir finished,

words, so iustiuct wilh lib mid feeling
lhat if, lo burrow a simile, they were

seem to reveal Ihe Uud. ll is said lhat
George Eliot will sometimes spend a
whole, du) cudgeling her brains for a
page oi -u uf matter and the next day
will tear ii all up and commeuce anew.

pa^e. alinust as difficult lu decipher a*

There is. then, what might be styled
the Mechanism uf Genius. Mm Ii of
what is called inspiration is nothing
but hard and very illipcrfict work,
growing better and bettei only by ihc
most in in u: t revision aud alteration,
and only anproachiug petieciion by IU-finile

The nearest most authors get to in-spiration,
and to what has been called
'he 'divine afflatus," is atuiiuiun a
' i:aiu gluwatl,peei...liy-favi,ied hours,
when the fancy becomes heated ami en-thused,
ami wlni, the braiu becomes
excited aud stimulated. Then there
noes conic a certain outei !c power, an
unusual iluw of ideas and fancies, and

THE ECONOMIC FUTURE QF ENGLAND.

inn lhat their Government bus been of

of discontent eh »wn by the Christians
who live under it are and mu-l b due
io the iustigalion of "Russian agents,''
and the work of what Lord lleacons-lield
calls -tlie secret societies. ' ll is
this assumption which has led him into
Ihe mousirous undertaking of regen-erating
i lie Mussulman world at a mo-ment
when English industry has en-tered
on what will probably prove.the
most critical |H rind iu Us existence—a
period, loo, which in i> not pass away
without working serious modifications

It would be very rash lo pre-dict",
however, as some have begun lo

greatly diminished in strength and in-ilintice.
All comparisons, such as
Mr. Gladstone suggested in his late
article, between her and Venice or
lunua or Holland, leave out of ac-count
the fact that none of these
Suites declined until either theii ma-t
rial resoiiro s had b •en cxhaiiste i or
ihe character of the people had losl ite

the corruption ot the Government or
through a L'.neral break-down ot

English middle class, when tin v came
lo the front, and laid the foundation of
the huge fabric of industry which just
n >w seems in serious peril, had re-sources
which they seem t,, have ex-hausted.
It was not simply that they
b 'gan the race in possession of great
coal and nun fields lying side In side.
They were ihe hrst to take up the
steam-engine seriously and mm il to
account in railroads ami navigation,
Down almost to ISO i there was a wide-spread
feeling all over Europe thai a
steam engine needed an Englishman
to manage it. As soon as the neces-sity
of railroads began to be bit. im,
Ihe Continental nations had to order
liiem of Englishmen, ami England
supplied tlie lion and machinery for
them. Their great command of the
means of locomotion gave them the
first access to oul-of-the-wa) in irkcts,
such as India and I' lina, and the first
chance lo colon/c remote regions,
such as Australasia and South Africa.
Tin result has Ken half a century of
steady and unprecedented material
growth, accompanied with correspond*
ingimprovemint in ihe structure of
ihe Government, which is probably
unequalled lo-day in the success with
whien scientific methods arc made to
work ihroughpupiilai forms.
This brilliant slag" ha-, however,
evidently reached iis termination. A
considerable proportion of the markets
by winch its prosperity has been main-laiucd
- the cotton and iron—is irre-trievably
lost. The civilized world.

continent, and ihe growth ol indus-trial
dexterity and enterprise every-
Wb re, have spread inanu.ic nres over
a vast area previously devoted in the
main lo agriculture. So thai il is
hard to avoid the belief that we are
witnessing a serious and permanent
cluck to il,,- material growth of the
empire, which will call for a reailjust-mcni
of iis economic and political ma-chinery,
the nature of which ii wo,,1,|

it will all of a sudden resign its posj- ;

commercial States. Some ol the pro-bable
fealun s in this readjustment are

populati m of England now is. and
iar.e as is the proportion of it which is
withdrawn from agriculture, the profits
of larmiug have beeu already so se-riuus!)

Mates thai there are signs ol a serious
fall in rents, which must generally at-lect
the fortuue and hab.ts id the
lauded aristocracy. According to the
latest accoun s. there are in some dis-tricts
signs of a panic among land-lords
of ihc diiheuliy of letting their
(arms lo men with capital enough to
work them, and the difficulty of getting
even the present holders to keep Ihem.
Tli« decline of manufactures and di-minished
purchasing power ol the

ibis tendency, and perh tps force land-lords,
as une paper suggests, either to

Prussian landholders do, or rentthem
on icruis which would virtual!) give

THE UNFORTUNATE VOICE,
ITS , i I:K .
Ih, re lived in Pniladelphia, a f-a
years anu, a somewhat prominent citi-zen,
whom we will call Isaac Land.
Isaac was a prepossessing >,»ung gen-lleinau.

an enterprising man of business, and
altogether just such a young man as
mull', please the fancy of misses
in their teens, but tor one thing; alas!
now Isaac was most unfortunate in
having what is styled a "squeaking
voice;' ihe ladies doa'l a liniie a shrill
voice in the opposite sex.
Isaac l/ind, belonging to one of our
first families rich and engaging, wasa
universal favorite as a beau among the
ladies, and was cordially Welc d
into good societ); it was nut. tlieu, lo
be wondered at, if h< dd think before
the ladies taught him better that be
could gel almost any girl he should
chouse loask. Is ibis conceit rrcy un-common
in young meu?
When our hero began to think seri-ous!]
ot matrimony, he cast about him
i e which one of the multitude, jusi
waiting to be asked, ni would choose,
and at length he decided upon Fannie
Brilliant—lie always determined that
In.- wit, should Is' distinguished and
she wus a beaut) and a belle, and also
rich, which is nev, r, we believe, a Very
serious objection.
line cyeuingin returning from the
opera, «iih Fannie alone at his side in
the carnage, he slipped his at m around
her waist, and "pop|wd the question,"
and to his utter astonishment anddis-heard
Ihc emphatic " .V..."
ac returned i" his home Ih it
night, if uola happier, yet a wiser
man. and with a feeling of slight.
hatred and pity towards the girl who
could so f olisbly throw- from bet such
a rare chance. Nothing daunted,
however, Isaac in a few weeks deter-mined
io try his chance iu another di-rei
lion. A beautiful and accpmpl shed
heiress bad just appeared in society,
li abroad: all were siti^in^ her
praises except tie- misses whom her
beauty threw in the shade, aud their
mammas. Isaac had a must susceptible
heart for the charm* ofladies, especialli
the '-golden charms," and he, urged on
bj his partial friends, determined to
try his luck with the dazzling belle,
and with a feeling ot exultation i fhow
chagrined Fanny would be when
she le ard thai Cora M illville had ac-cepted.
s '.one ei, ni iii; afterspenflhig a must
delightful tune iu her company, and hei
manneM indicating to his vain mind

bold to ask, "Cora, will you b-mineJ"'
and oh, burr us! what a t ite for | r
Isaac- In- heard again the hateful and
chilling negative!
Had either of these girls lioen interro-gated
and liave answered candidly whal
ihe reason was fur ih,- refusal, the an-swer
of each would hale been, "I
don't like Ins voice.''
Isaac did n 1 try his luck again very
soon—not till In-was bordering upon
thirty; then meeting with a lady of his
owu age, neb and celebrated for her
lit, rarv attainments, thought she
would make a must agreeable com-panion
fol life; but poor Isaac did. by
Ibis lime, siuccrelv dread Ihe •-,,". " and
although constantly visiting this lady
iJosephine Wall , put oil (rum time to

Isaac's vanity had received s >me severe
shocks; no Wonder he was a little fear-ful;
now, be need nut have been, lor
Joeiphine, although she bad la-en dis-tinguished
as a belle, had arrived at
tb it age when offers of inatriui in) an
like "angels visits, few and far be-tween."
One evening wlien their con-versation
had b, en on Ihe folly of
youthful marriages, they having de-cided
ih it no one should jump into
marriage iu extreme youth Iherewas
a silence fur a few moments. Isaac
gazed into Josephine's lovely eyes, ami
sin blushed, and he whispered sollly,
"Josephine, will you Is- luiiie for 1 it', f"
anl the joyful and electrifying answer
was "IV.-." Isaac returned home iu
ecsl icy ut' delight, repeating to
in dismay, "tin tl-'M not li have

In a few mnnllu liny were married,
and it proved a happy union, but Ihe
unfortunate voiceof the husband was
a constant source of mortification lo
