How ootid bo withstand that irre-

tUlating light and lúa tewh pieesec
bio nether Up in tho eflhrt to govern
Mary's anna tightened
around hisnoek, and thewdorw«edef
from her cheeks as abo beheld the
murderous expression in hi* eye,

tibduM happen that your choice lay
between pleasing the opinion of tbe
world and mine, that you would
ilease me. And oh, Gregg, thoughts
of your being a murderer would break
my heart. Please me, Gregg, this
once, do. . I see, now, you intended
to fight a dnel; and yon know, Gregg,
! i have heard yon say it was * g*®**
crime. Promise me to let the matter
rest as it is; you know that I am true
to you; yon believe me the same
illaiy you.befriended as an orphan,
rears ago."
Ori gg W.tfson bowed his head on
ler shoulder, and said in a low voice:
" You are light, Mary; I shall not
notice him."
An hoar after that, as Gregg was
Missing a group of men on the street
corner, avoice from thegroup address-
ed him. Gregg recognized in the
speaker a distant relative of his wife.
•' You «re saved the trouble of
)unishing Matthews; they say he
ell from Appleby's porchin adruuken
lit, half cutting, one arm off on a
scythe. They say he can hardly get
over it."
Gregg was surprised; hut he mere-
y uttered : " Is it possible]" end
retracing his steps, songht Appleby's.
Matthews Wás insensible. l>r. F—
eaned toward Gregg upon his en-
trance, and said:
" This looks like retribution, Mr.
Watson. It is barely possible he can
recover, even with the best attention;
and I fear the attention ha wUl .get
will bo but middling."
Why so "
" Why you astonish me, Mr. Wat-
son S Are yonfnot aware of th* report
he circulated abont your wile?"
" Perfectly, Doctor."
" Well, if every family regards him
as mine does, ha will not receive much
attention from anyone in G rt and
less sympathy still. And then the
manner in which he lived wül operate
unfavorably; he is literally 'burnt
out' with-brandy."
" This is no timo for any ««one to
cherish ill feelings, Djr.F—. I would
attend him myself, gather thaft see
him neglected, and all the, readier
since he has no one belonging to him."
4' Mr. Watson, you are noble spirit-
ed. I confess you are more of a
Christian that 1 c«q ever claim to be."
Gregg returned the pressure of the
Doctor's hand, and silently left the
loom.
As the Doctor had predicted, Mat-
thews would have suffered for want of
proper atteution, had not Gregg Wat-
son neglected his business to adminis-
ter to his wants, Peopla wondered.
Many thought it would have been
more like human natnre had Gregg
put a bullett through him,.«re he was
overtaken by the accident. But they
did not know the ijoJiuence of Gregg's
wife, whose spirit shone through it all,
Matthew's life hung on a thread, aa
it were, for a long week: then a
change for the better took placo, an 1
his recovery (waa^beyond a doubt.
Still, through it all, Gregg never left
his stde until he was able to sit up,
then a motiva of delicacy caused him
to relinquish hi * place to another;
and he' turned to his business, tbat
had so much need of his attention,
havingdbeen left at a moment's noticc
and in confusion. How often he
thanked his wife for her advice, and
how happy he felt in doing right dur
Anti-Emigration.—The follow-,
ing letter appears in the New York
Tribune:
Sir: Can my voice through the
Tribune avail to warn honest: Ameri-
can mechanics and laborera against a
blind emigration to Brazil I ' Each
steamer brings from 160 to 300 decei-
ved men and women, the greater part
of whom are miserable and begging
for help in less than two days. There
is room for associated labor; a colony
will do well here if judiciously man-
aged. But the solitary mechanic or
laborer, whatever is skill may be,
cannot, so long as he is a stranger,
compete with the cheap slaves and
cheaper working men who do the
shabby work of Brazilian trades. I
have se n many weeping mothers land
wives, s nil glooirijr men, dragging
through these streets, appealing pite-
ously to every American passer: by
for woTk,' and telling the same tale of
disappointed expectations, Our Con-
sul is overrun by them,. They enlist
on our men-of-war as landsmen mid
boys—jgood, skillul mechanics serving
for the pittance, pay and rations ot
navy greenhorrfs. For organized emi-
gration, I repeat, Brazil offers many
i iducements. But any poor man is
wretchedly fooled who leaves the
States, expecting to do better on his
own hook in Brazil. Use this testi-
mony as you will, for I am grieved
to see so mnch disappointment and
Suffering.

ing those long vigils !
Some two weeks after Gregg;¿had
returned to his business, there waB
pic-nic in Gr , at which all the
citizens of the place thought it worth
While to attend. It was a very
pleasant affair altogether; but in tin
midst of the festivity, a'bnggy witl
a solitary occupant, drove upon lht-
ground.
" It's Matthew's ¡""wasT^whispered
from month to mouth, while lips were
curled in scorn, that a'ruoinent^befbre
were wreathed in smiles,
Matthews advenced to the centre
of the throng and stood upon a plat-
form that had been made for tbe
dancers. He was evidently very
weak, yet no one offered him any
assistance. One hand asked their
attention, when, in a broken voice, he
said:
" I do not come herp to interrupt
your harmony, as I have no doubt
many of you think ; but to make
statement that could b§ better made
here than anywh.ere else. You have
all heard, I suppose, of the vile report
1 spread concerning Mrs. Watson
who is present with her husband. His
conduct towards me proved it false.
But I desire to make this statement
as an act of justice, and to relieve my
owu conscience. I envied Gregg
Watson his happiness. You can see
the motive that originated thai story—
or, in your own lmgunge, that 'black
lie.* But I hope that I am not now
as X have been heretofore; though 1
can never remain longer in Q
and look its inhabitants in the face.'*
Matthews cheeks were bedewed
with tears a* he descended from the
platfonn; but ero he advanced many
steps, Gregg Watson's hand pressed
his warmly, amidst a munnur of ap-
probation.
Matthewa,waa an altered man- from
that time forward; and shortly after-
wards he sailed as missionary to T—.
At the close Of the pic-nic, Mrs.
Watson whispered in her husband's
ear, " What o glorious.reveuíro yours
has been!"
"Say, rathe*, yours," replietPGregg
with an attempt at repraot.
It has passed into a saying at G—,
As noble as Gregg Watson's
revenge."

THE ONLY RECOGNIZED
DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPER
PUBLISHED IN
New York.
DAILY, SEMI-WEEKLY AND
WEEKLY.
THE NEW YORK NEWS has battled
against despotism for four years of blood
and terror, in assertion of the sanctity rf
the Constitution. A patriotism sufficient-
ly broad to embrace both sections has
been its only guide, and it refers now with
honest pride to its record to show that it
has not turned to the right or the left un-
der all the violence of arbitrary power.
True to ita principles as THE NEWS
has been through the reign of terror, it
challenges public confidence in its honesty
and independence lor the future.
THE SEMI-WEEKLY AND
WEEKLY NEWS.
These two Journals are made up with
special reference to the wauts ofcountrv
subscribers, and contain such variety ot
matter as to render them welcome to
every family in the land. Iu the matter
of Literature the choirtit stories of the
best writers are spread forth in their
columns, and more excellent literary
matter is furnished in one issue than can
be had in many of the exclusively literary
journals of the day. The General News
is admirably selected and condensed, so
as to give all the current intelligence in a#
readable a form as it can be placed. It
comprises news from every part of the
country, and is always the latest The
Commercial Intelligence is carefully pre-
pared, and includes reliable Market Re-
ports from all points which are not ex-
celled by any journal of this country.
