"Why sit hero “Because it's high and pleasant.” “But It goes so deep down, it makes me quite giddy; and the sun shines so dazzling on the water; let s go a little farther.” “No—not any farther." “Just hack, then, as lar as that green enclosure—it was so pleasant there.” “No—I say—not there, either;’’ and he tlung himself down, as if he either could not, or would not, go farther. She remained standing, with her eyes intently fixed upon him. “Aasta,” then he said, “now you must explain to me why it was you were so much afraid of that foreign skipper who came in just in the dusk of the evening.” “Didn’t I think that was it!” she whis pered, and seemed to wish to avoid the matter. “Yes. you must tell me before you go, else I shall never come again.” “Botolf!” she exclaimed; and she turned, but still remained standing. "It's true,” ho continued, “I promised you I wouldn't ask any questions, and I’ll still keep my word if you like; but then Iliings must come to an end between us.” She burst into tears, and came over to him, with the sun shining foil upon her slender little figure, small hands, and soft golden hair, wherefrom the kerchief had fallen. lie sprang up. “Yes!” he exclaimed, “you know very well when you come looking like that at me, I always give in to you. Butl know, too, that the longer this thing goes on, the worse it gets. Can't you understand that, though 1 may promise you a hundred times not to wish to know about your by gone life, I never have any peace 1 can bear it no more.” Ilis face, too, did in deed bear a look oflong-continned suffer ing “Yes, Botolf, you did indeed promise me to let that thing rest—that which I can never, never tell you about. You prom ised me solemnly; you said you didn’t care about it, if you could but have me. Botolf!” she exclaimed again, sinking to her knees before him upon the heather; and she wept as though her very life were in peril, and so looked at him through her fast-falling tears that she seemed at once the loveliest and most miserable creature he had ever seen in all his days. “Oh dear me!'' he exclaimed, rising, but then directly sitting down again, "if you did but love me well enough to have confidence in me, how lmppy we two might be!” “If you, rather, could but have a little confidence in me!” she implored, com ing nearer him, still upon her knees, and looking yearningly into his face. “Love you! Why, that vety night when your ship had run into ours, when I came up on the deck and you stood there in com mand, I thought 1 never had seen any body so brave and manly; and I loved you from that moment. And then when you carried me over into the boat when the ships were sinking, 1 once more lelt, what 1 thought 1 never should feel again, a wish to live." She wept in silence, with her hands clasped together, resting upon his knee. “Botolf!” then she exclaimed, “be good and noble; be as you were when you first took me Botolf! “Why do ton urjre me so?” lie replied, almost harshly. “Vow know very well it can't be. One must have a woman's whole soul; though for a little while at first, perhaps, one is content without.” She drew back, and said hopelessly,— “All, well, then, my life can never come rigid again O God and once more she began to weep. “Trust me with '.lie whole of your life, and not merely a part of it, and it will all come right so far as I am concerned.” He spoke cheerfully, as though to en courage her. She did not answ cr but he saw sho was struggling with herself. “Master yourselt,” he mired "run the risk of doing as I wish. Things can’t be worse than they are now, at any rate,’’ "You’ll drive me to the very worst.” she said piteously. lie misunderstood her, and continued,— “Even it you have to confess the great est crime to me, I'll try to bear tip: but this I can’t bear.” “No; and neither can I!” sho ex claimed and she rose. “I'll help you,” lie said, rising also; “day by day I'll help you, when I only know what this tiling is. I>ut I'm quite too proud to be with a woman I don’t ful ly know about; and who, perhaps, be longs to somebody else.” A bright Hush came over her face. “For shame If yon talk of pride, I'm a gobd deal prouder than you are; and I won’t have you suv such things. So, stop!” "if you’re so very proud, then, why do you leave room for my suspicions?”" "God help me! I can bear this no longer!” "No, nor I either; I’ve made a vow it shall come to an end this day.” “How cruel it is," -he wailed out, "to goon worrying and tormenting a woman who has trusted herself so fully to you, and has begged and prayed of you as 1 have been doing." She was near again beginning to weep, but with a sudden change of feeling she exclaimed, “Yes, 1 see how it is, you think by provoking and exciting me, you’ll get things out ol me She looked at him indignantly, and turned aside. Then site heard him say slowly, word by word,— “Will you. or will you not?” “I will not,” replied she, stretching out her hand “no, not if you gave me all we can see from here!” She went from him, her bosom heaved, and her eyes wandered to and fro, but mostly looked towards him, now sternly, next sorrowlully. then sternly again.

Reports from the large cities say .that the holiday trade begins as well as that of the best years. Christmas will not be cheated of the gifts and merry-makings belonging to him. Hearts and pockets open as if by magic when his generous face appears. The arrival of the King of the Hawaiian Islands at Washington has furnished a theme for considerable newspaper talk. Unfortunately the young man was suffer ing with a severe cold when lie reached the capital, which delayed the ceremonies of reception. Our climate is rather too severe for His Majesty. Just liovv many negroes were killed at Vicksburg cannot bo told by the news from the scat of war, but probably not less than a hundred—some accounts say one hundred and fifty. One democratic despatch has the audacity to say that more negroes were killed than was neces sary. We should think so. We have doubted the possibility of any steps being taken by Congress this winter toward.the resumption of specie payments, but the Washington correspondent ol the New York Times is very hopeful that something will be done in tiiat direction, lie says that the first day of the session, and for two or three succeeding days, no one entertained the belief that financial legislation of any kind would be enacted this winter, but now many are confident that something will be done. Among the Senators it is possible that a formal agree ment among the Republicans will be en tered into to accept substantially tiie views of the Administration on this subject as a party policy. Whether all tiie republican Senators will unite in tiie agreement is now doubtful, but it is probable the com pact may Include enough republicans to make a majority of the Senate without the democratic votes which will be cast for resumption. It is also slated that ever some inflationists arc willing to try lie experiment which is earnestly urged upon them by those who favor resumption, and several members of the House, at least, who last year voted for unlimited circula tion, privately declare that they will sup port Ibis year any bill which the majority of the republican party can agree upon that shall tend to bring the country to specie payments. They are willing, lin y say, to give the policy of the Administra tion a fair trial. Tiie S. nato will agree to a pretty- radical and straightforward proposition, looking to resumption at some fixed day, probably not more than three years distant. In the lloum- there is more of a disposition thus far t g. t at tiie same result indirectly. One of our New York exchanges dis courses upon “mysterious disappearances" as follows: “The unaccountable fascina tion which the city exercises up m a rustic mind has much to do with great numbers of mysterious disappearances. Me ;i who would shrink from and Maun uo improper action are led by an almost irrepressible curiosity to visit nooks and haunts where crime reigns supreme, and where their guileless confidence is rewarded by vio leuce, robbery, and sometimes murder. It is in any metropolis but a step from safety to danger of the most critical char acter. There was wisdom in the remark of the old German entomologist, that lie had threaded forests in all parts of the world without fear, but that his limbs trembled beneath him when lie entered a great city. The wiles which lure human natuie to destruction by direct appeal to its most apparent weakness are the causes of hundreds of disappearances every few years. There are many suicides under the pressure of broken hopes and ruined reputations, which arc not discovered until long after they are committed; some ol which are never found out. Many a fam ily has had to mourn the inexplicable dc parlure from life of it« chief protector, just nt tin' moment when he was most needed, and when it seemed least of all possible that he should have committed a fatal folly. That which is especially ,-trange with regard to these disappearances is the laet that the vastly improved modern means ot tracking crime and detecting the where abouts of fugitives or wanderers, should not have rendered the finding of such as remain alive more easy. It is ijtiite as difficult now to trace the dozens of eases of mysterious disappearances which are constantly recorded in the papers, as it was to find people who had been spirited away before press, or telegraph or rail ways existed. Tin' man who travels abroad today need* to go armed with caution anil prudence, just as in feudal times men did not stir from home without trusty weapons, and careful questions as to the d mg i s in the way.” KM KATA'S niSTOh'Y AS T‘>U> T> Y ms cur six. Iu the year 1821 the whale ship Iudepcuder.ee from New Bedford, Mass., foundered in the IV cific Ocean, ami all on board perished, with the exception of four sailors, who made their escape in a boat, which after tossing many days on the boundless deep, at IasI reached the Sandwich Is lands, then in a state of semi-barbarism, that be ing about the time of the first appearance of Chris tian missionaries there. One of these seamen was a line-looking, stalwart young man from Barnsta ble, and in the strange land upon which he was cast up from the waste of waters at once engaged in such pursuits as a vivacious disposition and true Yankee genius discovered, both for employment and livelihood, lie soon succeeded, and in a year or two after making his involuntary settlement among the Kanakas had the extraordinary fortune of marrying the daughter and sole princess of the monarch then on the throne of the islands. This royal damsel had fallen in love with the wrecked mariner, proposed wedlock in right queenly style, which the* youn t New Englander accepted for the reason that tin* King ordered him to do so, or have his head chopped off. Being son-in law, and recognized as a member of the dynasty, our hero adapted himself to the dignity of prince consort, anti from this remarkable union issued the pres ent King of the Smdwhich Islands, the only sur viving son of the Massachusetts man, out of a large family. The name of Kalakaua denotes the I origin of the sovereign, and translated, means “safe journey” or “(«od speed,” referring to the escape of his immediate ancestor from the perils of the wave as related above. Digressing from the gen eral narrative here, we will mention that the lath er of our august visitor, notwitestanding his illus trious alliance, had never forgotten his home in the distant republic; but day after day and month after month looked out from the portico of his palace for the friendly canvas and llag of his na tive land, but five and twenty years of weary watching were endured before tae keel of an American ship glided into the Island harbors. When this did take place, the Yankee piincc yearning lor the scenes and associations of youth, one night deserted rank, wife and children, jumped into the sea which a quarter of a century before had cast him up naked to become the pro genitor of a kingly line, and sailed aw ay for the shores of Narragansett. After a long voyage Barnstable was again visited, but all had hanged. Leaving there in sunny youth, the traveller now fund that the few remaining acquaintances ot' the put had died, departed to other places, or had grown gray and forgetful of the time when all were boys at school together. It was a mistake to return; for the heart could not give up its love for the wife and children of more than a score of years in the far-off islands of the lbici ie. The longings of the wanderer and his loneliness^ were intolerable. He then once more looked for the speedy bark to carry him back to his only home, and waited three years before an opportunity came. Then he sailed away forever. In 1847, the whaler Thomas Jefferson, from New London, Conn., was li-hing in the 1‘acific. Meeting a school of leviathans, the crew prepared for action, and among the parties scut out from the ship to operate against the monsters of the deep the prince w as one of the first to volunteer in the hazardous duty. As has often happened, the boat of the har pooners wai demolished by a wounded and infu liitcJ whale, several of the men, including the father of Kalakaua, perishing in the disaster. Tnat was the end of our hero’s romanti: career. The balance of this interesting story may be stated briefly. When the New Englander lied lYorn the Sandwich Blands his spouse mourned for a customary period, but grief did not cause her to neglect the grave rcsponubilities of widow hood. She gave her children the beat education the islands afforded, and David being the favor ite, though not the elde>t soil, was sent to San Francisco to study politics and finances. His mother also directed him to visit the home of his father and kindred, hut the young man, for some reason satisfactory to himself, did not then go to Barnffable. lie will do so now, however, after first concluding his official interview with the President of the United States. Thus we have an easy solution of the friendship of this monarch for our country and institution'. For this interesting narrative we are indebted to a couiin of His Majesty, residing iu this city, Major-, well known in milling circles, who, with the exception of being a few years older, is said to resemble the King in a remarkable de gree. Their fathers were brothers, born an 1 reared in the good old state of Massachusetts.— Suit I.tike Tribune, lhcember 6. POLITICAL.

A Card to the Public. A Nlicit Postponement the I ilih (lilt Concert. As manager of the gift conceits given in aid Of the Public Library of Kentucky, my position creates an important trust in behalf of the Public Library and the ticket holders of the fifth gift concert. The public Library of Kentucky and the ticket holders are jointly interested in the amount of the drawing. The larger the fund to be dis tributed in gifts the greater will be the gift award, cd to each lucky ticket holder and the more the amount realized by the Library. To have a full drawing is so manifestly to the interest of those interested, that, rather than have a fractional diawing on the 30th inst., I deem it due to the trust confided to me by tbe ticket holders and the Public Library of Kentucky, that a short postponement be made to enable me to dispose of the unsold tickets and have a full drawing. Though the very large amount now in bank would enable us to distribute handsome gifts, yet we should feel disappointed in this our last concert, should we be compelled to make a fractional drawirg, however large. We have received so very large a number of lctteis from all parts of the country from those most largely interested, urging a postponement if all the tickets lie not sold by the 30th, that we feel strengthened in our scase of duty to the ticket holders and to the Public Library, to make the postponement. I'ndcr the circumstances, wo have determined, in the interest of all paities, to postpone the concert nud drawing to Saturday, February 27, 187S, at which time the drawing will positively take place, aud, us a guarantee of good laith towards ticket holders, we pledge ovrselves to refuml to any ticket holder his money, upon presentation of his ticket, should the drawing fail to come off at the day now fixed. The past, we feel assured, will be sufficient guarantee to all in terested that they will be fairly and honestly dealt with. The money paid for tickets is sacredly pre served against all contingencies until after the pay ment of the gifts, after which tbe expenses are to be reimbursed t ml the Public Library is to be paid its profits.

and wept; then ceased weeping, and re-' turned to her former mood. "Ah, I knew verv well you didn't lovi me.'’ she heard nc \t. and became in a moment the most humble and penitent o creatures. Twice she tried to answer, but. instead, she flung herself down upon the heather, and hid her face in her hands. Botolf came forward and stood over her. She knew he was there, and she waited for him to speak, and tried to prepare herself for whatever he might say; but not a word came, and she grew yet more disturbed, and f it obliged to lookup. She sprang to her feet instantly: Itotolt s weather-beaten face scented to have be come sunken and hollow, hi- deeply-set eyes staringly prominent, and his whole figure monstrous; and it stood over her with some strange influence that suddenly made her see him once more upon the ship just as she saw hint on the night of the I wreck; but now his strength was bound less. and it was all turned against her. "Yon have been untruthful with me, I Aasta.’’ She turned away, but he followed her, I and continued,— "And you have made mo untruthful, too; there hasn't been perfect truthfulness j between us a single day ever since we have been together.” He stood so near that she could led Ins hot breath; he looked straight into her eves till she felt quite giddy; she knew not what lie might the next moment do or say and so she closed her eyes. She j stood as though she must either tall or j rush away: the crises was coming. in its perlude of deep silence, llotoll himself became afraid. Still, onoo more he began his former strain “Make everything clear; make an end of all this miserable trickery and conceal ment—do it here—now.” “Yes,” she answared, but quite uncon sciously—"so I say—do it here—now!” He gave a loud cry, for she rushed past him, flung herself over the steep lie caught a glimpse of her golden hair, her uplifted hands, and the kerchief, which spread out, slipped oft’, and floated slowly down after her by itself, lte heard no shriek, and he heard no fall in the water below; for it was very far down. Indeed he was not listening; for he had sunk to the earth. Out from the sea she had come to him that night at first; into the sea she had now passed away again and with her the story of her lite. In the midnight dark ness of that silent deep, lay all that was dear to him: should he not follow? He bad come to that place with a firm deter mination to make au end ol the thing that tormented him this was not the end and now it could never come thetrouble was, indeed, only now in reality beginning. Aasta's deed cried out to him that he had made u terrible mistake, and killed her. Even if his misery should become ten limes greater, lie must live to find out how all had happened. She, who was al most the only one saved on that fearful night, had been saved only to be killed by him who had saved her. He, who had gone voyaging and trafficking about as il the whole world were nothing but sea and mart, had all at once become the victim of a love which had killed the woman of bi choice, and must now kill him. Was he a bad man He had never heard any one say so, neither had he ever felt it himself. But what if, altera!!, it were so lie rose not, however, to cast himself ovei the steep, but io return to the valley no man kills* himself just when he has found a great enigma which he wishes to solve. But the enigma of Aasta's life could never bo solved now. She bad lived in America ever since she had been grown up; and she was coming from there when the ships ran into each other. In what part of America should this quest begin: From what part of Norway nhe had at first come, he did not positively know; and he was uncertain even whether her family name had not been changed since then. And that foreign skipper? Who could he be? Did he know Aasta, or was il only she who knew something of him To question thus was like questioning the very sea; and to journey forth to investi gate was like plunging into its depths.
