We are provided with the small shelter tents, which can be carried with us on a march without assistance from teams. Towards morning, Sunday 28th, the sky became over cast, and soon after breakfast and a few miles marching, the rain commenced falling copious ly, and by the time we arrived here, we were well drenched. Col. Virgin, being in advance, •elected our present camp-ground, and we at once commenced pitching our tents, but under somewhat adverse circumstances, I assure you.

THE DAILY PRESS* PORTLAND, MAINE. Tuesday Morning, Nov. 11, 1862.

The Portland Daily Press has the largest regular circulation of any daily paper in the oity. British Blander* in American Finances. Readers of the British newspapers know, that almost every assertion and prediction which those papers have made respecting the American rebellion, with one or two honorable exceptions, have proved false; and yet the Portland Advertiser, professing to be friendly to rite present administration, on the 5th inst. copies a half column of British abuse from the Loudon Economist, upon what that paper terms the “Mismanagement of the American Finances.”' The most casual reading of that article shows, that the mismanagement arises, in the opinion of this British writer, from the fact that Secretary Chase did not procure his mon ey in Europe; but took such measures as would place the American loan in the hands of Amer ican capitalists. In iiis opening paragraph, the writer says “If a heavy income tax had been imposed at the outset of the war, the federal govern ment would probably hate been able to bor row largely in Europe." Now it is well known that at an early day Congre-9 did pass a joint resolution, with great unanimity, showing that they iutended as soon as their Committees could frame such a complicated bill as an internal tax act. to en act the same into a law. Congress gave the Secretary or the Treasury authority to pro cure his money in Europe if uecessaty.but our Bankers and citizens were ready to furnish it Kn»».,i* forma than t fin Tfritich nr Dtlmp T' 11 ropean bankers, who have now learned that there are both men and money in the United States. This writer in the Economist, before he cen sures the United States for issuing a paper currency, should rememlier, that British wri ters on finance admit, that it was the paper currency of the Bank of England, that enabled her to carry on her costly wars against Napo leon the 1st; and assuredly the promises of a government are better than those of a private corporation chartered by that government. Congress wisely gave the Secretary of ttie Treasury the choice of several methods of procuring money; there were certain Shyloeks here at home, who, like the British Bankers, wanted to get our narional bonds at fifty to seventy cents on the dollar, well knowing that the recuperative energies and growing wealth of our nation, would ere long, pay both inter est and principal upon them, as it always lias done. But Secretary Chase wisely concluded as the result shows, that however distrustful lone native and ail foreign bankers were, there was wealth and capital and patriotism enough in the north to loan the government all it wanted for an energetic prosecution of the war, and at reasonable rares. It was at once seen that the vast war ex penditures necessary to subdue six millions of rebels could not be conveniently carried on In gold and silver; and however well the sub treasury might answer when our ex;>enditures were two hundred miiiious annually, it would not be practicable when they were half this •urn daily, hence H was at once seen that the government, to pay its troops, purchase muni tions of war and food promptly, must either have recourse to bank bills issued by corpora tions unknown and irresponsible to the Feder al government, or issue its own promises which would circulate iu all the States, and give tile soldier in the field a note that should be cur rent also at borne. In doing this, it was foreseen that the na tional paper currency would come in conflict with that issued by the Slate Banks, but the necessities of war, the principle of the old Ro man law, “talus populi suprema lex,’’ ‘'Tile good of the people is the supreme law,” justi fied the act. There can be no question but that our State bank currency is a financial ex crescence, that has grown up under our Fed eral constitution, and in opposition to the clear Intents of its framers; when, therefore, nation al exigencies require that the Federal govern ment should avail itself of one of the highest attributes of sovereignty, to wit: the making and uttering of money, no loyal man will hesi tate to say, that the national must have the preference over any issues of private corpora tions, even when legalized by state authority. The circulation ol the Banks in the loyal State*is at ibis time, no doubt, over one hun dred and seventy-live millions of dollars, and the national government also has probably one hundred millions more. Thus it will be seen that our currency is inflated nearly one third of its usual volume. If tile rebellion continues through next summer, either the state lianas must curtail Uleir Issues, or the Federal government its legal tender notes. Il' military necessity requires that the latter must he issued, then the State Issues must be withdrawn, either by a general return to spe- cie payment by joiut action of the various State Legislatures, or Congress must put such tax on the issuing of bauk bills us will corn pel the Banks to withdraw their bills, aud check the inflated state of our currency. Tue best evidence that Secretary Chase’s se lection of the various plaus for raising money to carry on this war was that best adapted to the business habits of our people, is shown in the fact that the large sums of money required by the Government have been raised without serious derangement to the vast business in terest of the country, aud that at this mo ment the Government has more money ten- dered to it than il requires. The Removal of Gen. McClellan. The announcement by telegraph yesterday, that Gen. McClellan had been removed from the command of the army of the Potomac, and that Geo. Burnside W'us appointed as liis successor, caused considerable excitement in this city, aud is the universal theme ol con versation. As is usual, people take different views of the matter, but we think all loyal men will heartily endorse and sanction this action of the government. It is one of the most important measures yet adopted, and we hope will be followed by an energetic, vigorous prosecution of the war. We hope that the Union forces under Burnside will move, and that hereafter no one will have just cause to complain of the "inactivity of the army.” We do not think he has been suspended one hour too soon. The significant tact stated by Geu. iiaileck, that he lias neglected for three weeke to obey the peremptory orders of the War Department to cross the river at once, and give battle to the enemy, is of i^mlf j sufficient reason for his prompt removal, and the wonder is that so long a delay was permit ted. The official report of Gen. Iiaileck. which j may be found in another column, is clear and explicit, and, after reading it, we feel sure no loyal man, ,*vho sincerely desires to se.e tile majesty op the Constitution vindicated, will hesitate fora moment lo sustain tli President in placing the army of the Union under more energetic aud determined leadership. A Magazine of Projectiles Exploded. The Ballast Journal, published and edited by an old whig, who himself opposed the Mex ican war, and who at that time stood political ly with our present Chief Magistrate—Abra ham Lincoln—has an article with the follow ing threatening caption: Xfotc Lincoln sup ported a President in time of tear.” In the article following such a significant and fearful heading, we find a whole magazine—a regular “infernal machine”—let loose upon President Lincoln, and intended, probably, to explode him into the smallest possible fragments. The Journal opens thus: It is a favorite theme upon which abolition ists love to expatiate, that the country is en gaged in war, and that the fact makes it the duty of every citizen cordially to support the President in whatever he may think necessary to its conduct, that we must all commit our selves to his guidance and go it blind in which ever direction be may point. Let vs see how Mr. Lincoln himself will stand this test. Before going further we would simply ask the editor of the Journal, whatever Mr. Lin coln's course might have been at the time, and whatever he may have said to oppose the then President, and to discourage him in his arduous efforts to carry on a foreign war, if he them at that time, either rebuked the tall Ulinois ian, or said one word to sfengthen and en courage the heart of President Polk? We hope lie will answer like a man; for if he, him self, was politically allied to Mr. Lincoln nt that time, and sustained the party in whose behalf Mr. Lincoln spake, and whose voice he uttered, then, as a modest man, lm should hold his peace now; because, if for no other reason, Mr. Lincoln lias had the same “space for re pentance”—if he was in the wrong—that ids then supporter, who is now of the Belfast Journal, lias had. But we pass along to see President Lincoln brought up liefore the test or judgment seat that lie himself set up as a Representative from the State of Illinois. Says the Journal: In 1S4S, the country was engaged in carry ing oil tlie war with Mexico, a war demanded by our honor and safety, waged against a for eign nation by a Democratic Administration. There were dark days in that war as in this. Reverses came, like tlie surrender of Cassius M. Clay witli Ills forces. Terrible disasters threatened, as at Buena Vista, when the re splendent genius of Taylor saved the army— Taylor, whose plantation was sacked by Fed eral soldiers the other day. We «top here to notice the patriotic fling at the “Federal soldiers,” contained in the last two lines. Why, like a honest man, disposed j to be just as well as iruinjat, uoes tile liel last man m ike this fling to disparage a repub liean President and a republican administra tion which is upholding the present war, and keep out ot' sight the fact that the vandalism committed at Baton Rouge, if vandalism there was, was committed by the soldiers of a de partment under a Democratic Commander— Maj. Gen. B. F. Butler—and that one of the regiments most actively engaged, was com manded by a leading Democrat of the County of Waldo, a neighbor of the Journal, Col Frank S. Nickerson,—as true a soldier, as gal lant a gentleman, and as loyal a Democrat, as ever raised his voice or unsheathed his sword in his country’s defence! Why dont he tell the whole story, and not by innuendo attempt to make President Lincoln suffer in reputation for the excesses of soldiers entrusted by him to Democratic officers! But read again from the Journal During the darkest days of that tear, Abra ham Lincoln was a member of Congress from Illinois, and when the President's message was under consideration in the House, Jan. 12 1848, he made a speech bitterly attacking President Polk and his war policy. Dates are important, and we a>k the reader carefully to note the foregoing. Mr. Lincoln was a member of Congress “during the dark est days,” of that war, when terrible disast ers threatened us, as at Buena Vista,” Ac. This is singled out as the. dark spot in the “darkest days of the war.” Now it happeus that Abraham Lincoln took his seat as a Rep resentative from Illinois, on the first Monday in December, 1847. The battle of Buena Vis ta was fought on the 22d of the preceding February—the anniversary of Washington’s birth day This is not all: Mr. Lincoln is accused of making a speech on the 12th of Jan. 1843, op posing the war, and refusing to support the President in carrying it on. Now the last battle of that war was at the capture of the City of Mexico, and Gen. Scott’s official re port of that capture is dated Sept. 16. 1847, nearly three months prior to the meeting of the Congress of which Mr. Lincolu was first a member! Col. Benton tells us that Mr. Trist signed the Treaty of Peace concluded by him “in the j beginning of Feb., 1848. The same authority also tells us that negotiations were pending three months prior to the signing of the treaty l and that, during these three mouths there was no “operations of arms.” Surely then, if the fighting had ceased, if negotiations for peace J were pending long before Mr. Lincoln entered i Congress, it was not a very “dark day” when he made the speech referred to. So much for the Journal’s attempt to condemn Mr. Lin coln by a test of its own creation. Itlt UUUI IIBI UIICI V VSVUlc UIC VUJCVl Ul the speech referred to, as much as it confuses dates. That speech was not in opposition to the war—which existed simply in that the armies were not withdrawn from Mexico— but it was in opposition to some of the pro posed conditions of settlement—some of the exactions to be made upon the enemy. And we will only add, without going further into details, or swelling this article, already too long, that the extract from Mr. Lincoln’s j speech which the Journal copies, is precisely the same in spirit, and similar in language, as the remaiks of Col. Ben'on—a leadiug Demo crat at the time—upon the same subject. Vide “Thirty Years iu the Senate,” Vol. 2, pages 710, 711.

Gen. Butler's Colored Reoiments.— Rev. J. Colby, Chaplain of the 12th Maine Regiment, (Col. Shepley’s—now Gov. Sliep ley) writes a letter to the Zion’s Herald and Wesleyan Journal from New Orleans, under j date of Oct. 1st, from which wc take the fol- j lowing extract: “Today the first organized and equipped regiment of blacks, inarched past our headquar ters in 11 ne style, to the old native air of Yankee Doodle. They are a stalwart and hardy look ing set of men. Well proportioned, neatly uni formed and exhibiting great powers of endu- ranee- But will they tight, that’s the question frequently asked, and it is a question in the j minds of many of our best military men. For myself, I believe that they will light with a suitable motive before them to induce them to j action, and inspire them with courage; at all i events, it is a tiling which 1 loug to see tried, I and I shall he greatly disappointed if this regiment, in their first engagement does not j stand lire, and return it with interest added to J principal. Tha regiment bears the name of Native Guards, and is commanded by a white officer, Col. J. S. Stafford. About 2,500 contrabands in all have reached Cairo from the South. Only about 700 arc there, mostly women with large fami lies of children, and the families of those in Government service. The others have "been absorbed by the active demand for labor, most of them having gone to Southern Illinois, and three democrats having employed them to one republican. 200 of them work for Government j at Cairo at $10 a mouth, relieving as many j soldiers at $20 a month. Thus says the Chi- j cago Tribune. ORIGINAL AND SELECTED. By On the first page will be found an in teresting letter from our regular correspond eut in the 23d Maine Regiment.

I Hox. E. M. Stanton, Sec'y of War: •n reply to the general interrogatories con mined in your letter of yesterday, I have to report, 1st, That requisitions for supplies to the army under Gen. McClellan are made by his slat)' officers on the Chiefs of Bureaus here; that is for quartermaster's supplies, by his chief quartermaster on the Quartermaster General; Eor Commissary supplies by bis chief commissary on the Commissary General, etc. Such requisitions have been made to my knowledge upon the Secretary of War, and none upon the General-in-Chief. 2d, On several occasions Gen. McClellan has telegraphed to me that his army was deficient in certain supplies. All these telegrams were immediately referred to the heads of bureaus with orders to report. It was ascertained that in every instance the requisitions had been immediately lilled, except one, where tile Quartermaster General had been obliged to send from Philadelphia certain articles of clothing, tents, etc., not having a full supply here. There has not been, so far as I could ascertain, any neglect or delay in any depart ment or bureau in issuing all supplies asked for by Gen. McClellan, or by the officers of his start'. Delays have occasionally occurred in forwarding supplies by rail on account of the crowded condition of the depots or for want of cars. But whenever notilled of this, agents have been sent out to remove the difficulty under the excellent superintendence of Gen. llaupt. I think these delays have been less frequent and of shorter duratiou, than is usual with freight trains. An army of the size of that under Gen. Mc Clellan will frequently be for some days with out the supplies asked for on account of neg lect in making timely requisitions and unavoid able delays in forwarding them and in distrib uting them to the different brigades and regi ments. From all the information I can obtain, I am of the opinion that the requisitions from that army have been tilled more promptly, and that tlie men, as a general rule, have been better supplied than our armies operating in the west. The latter have operated at a much greater distance from the sources of supplies, and have had tar less facilities of transportation. 3d. Soon alter the battle of Antietam Gen. McClellan was urged to give me information of his intended movements, iu order that if he moved between the enemy and Washington reinforcements could be sett from this place. On the 1st of October finding that he proposed to operate from Harper's Ferry, 1 urged iiim to cross the river at once and give battle to the enemy, pointing out to him the disadvan tages of delaying till the autumn rains had swollen the Potomac and impaired the roads. On the 6th of October he was peremptorily ordered to cross the Potomac and give battle to the enemy or drive him south- “Four army must move now, while the roads are good.”— It will lie observed that three weeks have elapsed since the order was given. 4th. In my opinion there bus been no such want of supplies in the army of Men. McClellan as to prevent his compliance with the order to advance against the enemy. Had he moved to the south side of the Potomac he could have received his supplies almost as readily as re maining inactive on the Xorth. 5th. On the 7th of October, in a telegram in recrard to his intended miiviMiinnl* fton \f*._ Clellau stated that it would require at least three day* to supply the-l-t, 5th and Oth corps; that they needed shoes and other indispensa ble articles of clothing as well as shelter tents. No complaint was made that any requisitions had not been filled, and it was interred from his language that tie was only waiting for the distribution of supplies. On the Util he tele graphed that a portion of supplies sent by rail had been delayed as already stated. Agents were immediately sent from here to investi gate this complaint, and they reported that everything had gone forward. On the same date, the iltb, he spoke of many of his horses being broken down by fatigue. On the 12th lie complained that the. rate of supply was only 150 horses per week for tile entire army there and in trout ol Washington. 1 immediately directed the Quartermaster General to inquire into this matter and report why a larger sup ply was not furnished. Gen. Meigs reported on tlie 14th that the average issue of horses to Gen. McClellan’s army in the Held and in front of W.i-hington for the previous 6 weeks had lieen 1459 per week, or 8754 in all. And in addition, that large numbers of mules had been supplied, and that the number of animals with Gen. McClellan's army on the upper Potomac was over 31,000. He also reported that he was then sending to that army all the horses he could procure. On the 18tii Geu. McClel lan stated in regard to Gen. Meig's report that he had tilled every requisition for shoes and clothing. “Gen. Meigs may have ordered these articles to be forwarded but they have not reached our depots, and unless greater effort to insure prompt transmission is made by the department of which Gen. Meigs i> the head, they might as well remain in New York or Philadelphia, so far os this army is con cerned.” 1 immediately called Gen. Meigs' attention to this apparent neglect of his department. On the 25th lie reported, as the result of his in vestigation, that 48,000 pairs of boots and shoes had been received by the Quartermaster of General McClellan’s army at Harper’s Ferrv, Frederick, and Hagerstown—that 20,000 pairs were at Harper’s Ferry department on the 21st, —that 10,000 more were on their way, and 15, 000 more ordered. Col. Ingalls. Aid-de-Camp ami Chief Quar termaster to Gen. McClellan, telegraphed on the 25th, “the suffering for want of clothing is exaggerated, I think, and certainly might have been avoided by timely requisitions of regimental and brigade quartermasters. On tile 24th lie telegraphed to the Quartermaster General that the clothing was not detained on the cars at the depots; such complaints are groundless. The fact is, the clothing arrives i and is issued, but more is still wanted. I have i ordered more than would «eein necessary H orn any data tarnished me. I beg to remind you j that you have always very promptly met all i my requisitions so far as clothing is concerned, i Our department is not at fault. It provides as I I soou as due notice is given. I foresee no time when an army of over 100,000 ineu will not 1 call for ciotiiing and other articles.” In regard to Gen. McClellan’s mp&ns nf i promptly communicating the wants of his ar- I my to me, or to the proper bureaus of the war department. I report that in addition to the ordinary m tils, lie has been in hourly commu nication with Washington by telegraph. It is due to Gen. Meigs that I should submit here with a copy of a telegram received by him from Gen. McClellan. Very respect’y your ob't serv’t, (Signed) II. W. IIalleck, General-in-Chief. t\ 8. MILITARY TELEORAPII. Received Oct. 22, 1802, 9.40 P. M.] From McClellan’s Headquarters. To Brigadier General Meigs: Your dispatch of this dale is received. I have never intended, in any letter or dispatch, to make any accusation against yourself or your department for not furnishing or for warding clothing as rapidly as it wa- possible for you to do. I believe that everything has been done that could be done in tiiis resjiecL The idea that I have tried to convey was that certain portions of the command were with out clothing, and the army could not move until it was supplied.

^y“Tlie Daily Chronicle is the title of a new paper which has been started in Washington, in which the enterprising Col. Forney is large ly interested. It promises to become a jour nal worthy of the capital of the country, and in its editorial and business management, already displays an enterprise which will wake up the newspaper men of Washington, who are now much behind the nge. It is said that the new journal will be the organ of the Ad ministration. The above we clip from the Boston Journal, not having seen the Chronicle. We should truly welcome it to our table as an exchange, as we wish to have one live, energetic and re liable paper from the federal capital. General McClellan’s Army on tiie Peninm'i.a. From otticial sources it is ascer tained that one hundred and sixty-eight thou sand men were sent down to the Peninsula with Gen. McClellan prior to the seven days tight; that on leaving Harrison's Landing he had but eighty-four thousand men twenty thou sand having been killed in battle, died from disease,or made prisoners by the enemy (there I being a large number of the latter), and forty four thousand b"ing in the hospital and on fur lough.—[Boston Journal, The abo\e corroborates the statement of 1 President Lincoln in the speech he made not long since in Washington, wherein !.e deleml ed Secretary Stanton from the charge of hav ing withcld troops from Gen.

MATTERS ABOUT TOWN. Supreme Judicial Court. OCT. TERM—WALTON, J., PRESIDING. Monday—No. 554. Cynthia J. Shattuck, Libellant, v. Jacob P. Shattuck. Libel for divorce. Libellant elected to have the case go to a jury. The parties reside in Westbrook and were married May 2, 1855. In her petition the libellant alleges that her husband compelled her to cook and wash for sundry laborers in his employ, and ‘•imposed upon her other severe, excessive and menial labors, entirely neglecting and refusing to pro cure for her any sufficient assistance, though abundantly able so to do.” 2d. That respoudant was constantly in the habit of using towards her violent, profane and abusive language, aud that in the fall of 1858 lie left the house in which they were then dwelling, declaring in a passionate and brutal manner that he would not have her work for, or live with, him any longer; aud abandoned her therefrom. 3d. That said Jacob P., since their inter- j marriage, has committed the crime of adultery, j with divers women in Canada, Massachusetts, Portland and other places in Cumberland County. This point she expects to prove by admissions made by respoudant to various persons. 4th. That in consequence of such treatment and abandonment, libellant was obliged to take refuge in the house of her father, where she remained for the space of four weeks, when the said Jacob P., by promises to treat her kindly, and to have a servant girl, induced her to return; but that he partially kept his prom ise for a few days only, and again pursued his former conduct towards her. 5th.

That said Jacob P. seized her by the shoulder threatening to turn her out of doors, and that she should not return, ami violently shook and maltreated her; that he broke up house-keeping agaiust her wish, and carried away the lurniture in said house, leaving her destitute and without means of support—pro her to go to Groton, Mass., saying he would “train her like Jehu.'’ She also represents that between herself and the said Jacob P. there neither is nor lias for along time been any affection, and that by reason of his aforesaid conduct she is con stants wretched and lives in continual fear, and that she neither can, nor dares, nor will live longer witli him. Wherefore site prays for a divorce, and that reasonable alimony and such other provision may be made for her as the Court may consider just The libel is dated Xov. 1. IW. The respondent denies the allegations of libellant and affirms that after her marriage to him she neglected to exercise the attention, care, oversight and management of his house hold affairs, and became slatternly in her hab its and indifferent to their mutual interests. He denies using profane and abusive lan guage towards her or that he left his dwelling as alleged, or that at any time he ever com mitted the crime of adultery. He denies that the libellant was ever obliged to take refuge in her father's house, or that he ever induced her to return to his dwelling, or made any such promises and broke them, as alleged. He also denies that he has ever threatened to throw the libellant out of the window, turn her out of the house, kick her, ike., as she has alleged. The respondent then avers that since his marriage lie strictly in all tilings consulted her wishes; purchased a piano forte Tor her, at her request, and employed a teacher to give her lessons in music, and also at her request em ployed a competent teacher in drawing. But while he was thus endeavoring to consult her wishes and promote her accomplishments, she was in the habit of conducting herself inde cently in the company of men and women; of speaking of him in disrespectful and unkind terms; of manifesting a general disregard of her word; of clandestine correspondence with persons of both sexes, with whom, as she well knew, respondent did not think she could be intimate with prudence or in proper self-re spect. That with her consent he arranged to dispose of his business in this State and re move to Groton, Mass., and that after securing a residence there he proceeded to remove his household furniture thither; and after this was done libellant refused to accompany him.— That after some time, finding that she would not leave Westbrook, he returned to that place and made one more attempt to live with li neiiant in westnrooK, ana made all the ad vances comporting with a proper self-respect, to induce the libellant to return to his house, which has always been open to her, but which she refuses to enter. The respondent further avers that the libel lant never had any affection for him, but mar ried him solely for his money, as she lias fre quently avowed; wherefore he prays the libel may be dismissed. The case was opened to the jury by Mr Fox for libellant, and some progress was made in examination of witnesses. Frederick Fox and F. O. J. Smith for libellant: Shepley Dana for respondent.

MISCELLANY. A STORY OF COUNTERPARTS. BY CLARA ACGC8TA. A quiet, uneventful life was mine until I left the shelter of my father’s roof in Gorham, and accepted the desk of book-keeper in the whole sale clothing establishment of Shears Pres cott, in the busy little city of Weston. But there, one flue afternoon in October, just in the midst of Indian summer, I invited Lillie Prescott, with whom I was very nearly in love, to walk in the park with me. Her little hand, in its delicate primrose-colored glove, rested on my arm, her black eves were lifted to my face. I felt particularly tender and confiden tial, and at peace with all flic world. e were speaking of the gorgeousness ol the distant hills, clothed a- they were i i their mantles of crimson foliage, when 1 was brought to a stop by hearing my name pronounced in a tone neither sweet nor agreeable. “Mr. Smith, I'll just trouble you to stop a mlnnitl” I looked up. A woman of fifty or therea bouts effectually blocked up the sidewalk be fore us: indeed, her proportions were colossal. If ever I have seen the personification of in dignation. I saw it in her expressive counte nance. “Madam!” I exclaimed, retreating a little from the battery of flashing eyes which she brought to bear upon me. “You needn’t madam me,” cried she, waxing redder. “I’ll just trouble you to settle this lit tle bill,” And she thrust an ominous piece of paper before my eyes, whicli read thus: Richard Smith to Mrs. Jcliasa Diogiss. Dr For six mouths' boa. d Sal 00 For washing S12 00 tm (m I returned the bill to her. “I owe you nothing, uwdam. I never saw you liefore in my life.” “You needn’t lie to me!” cried she, setting her an ns a-kimbo. “I liain’t kept a genteel boarding house fifteen years for nothing, sir! You’ll either fork over on tiie spot, or I'll take the law’!” “Take it,” remarked I; “you’re welcome to It!” “You think to snrs me, young man! Re member what you promised! I'll have you took up as sure as my iiume s LMggms i ill lain you better than to deceive a trusting widder wo man in that way, you desatelul hypocrite!” "Madam, you insult me! 1—” "Oh! it looks well for such as you to stand on your dignity! Mighty lolly, ail at once! You've forgot the cream flapjacks I used to make you, and the kisses you used to give me every evening alter the rest of ’em was gone to hed! You've, lorgot the half-dozen sh its I made you, and never charged you a cent! You’ve lorgot that you solemnly promised that you’d marry me last Tuesday morning! You've forgot that, have you “Yes—yes—I never!—no?” stammered I, dropping Miss Lillie's arm in consternation. "Doyou dare todenv it?” cried she in a rage. "Yes; forever and a day afterward!” I roar ed out. “Do yon think i would inarryan old termagant like you? I’d sooner wed my grandmother!” I saw llie Are flash up in her eyes. The wid ow was waxing dangerous. I dodged tile reti cule she aimed at uiy head.and tell over back ward as she charged upon me with her hall mourning parasol. Miss Lillie turned and tied. I thought discretion the better part of Vidor, so I leaped over a garden fence near at hand, and was immediately attacked by a large watch dog that sprung out of a kennel near by. I seized a dahlia pole, and. hurling it at the bel ligerent, made good my escape by fording a duck pond and reaching the next street, from which I hurried home at the best pace I could command. I was resolved that I would not remain in Weston a day longer. Evidently there was in the city some other Richard Smith, for whose notorious self I was mistaken. I penned a hasty note to my employers—giving my rea sons tor leaving them—packed my trunks, paid inv board, and, marking my baggage “Richard Smith, New Hampton,” I entered the cars lor the locality specified on my trunks. In selecting New Hampton as my destination, I had no delinite purpose in view but In a place of its size I hail no doubt of being able to secure some lucrative situation, and the office of “Boots” was better, if I could be left unmolested, than the station of President, if T .a ..._ U _J t_J l._ viragos in the streets. It was nAr noon of the next day when the train whirled up to the depot at New Hampton. I alighted, and was hastening down the plat form to look after my baggage, when I saw a young lady, in a brown silk walking-dress, earnestly regarding me. As she caught iny eye, she threw up her veil and sprang toward me. As the veil swept back, it revealed the loveliest laee I had ever looked upon. I had never dreamed of anything half so beautilul. In involuntary admiration I stood still. She threw herself into iny arms—her arms tell a rouud my neck—her velvet cheek touched mine—and such a kiss as she planted full on iny lips. My face was in a blaze. 1 felt as if 1 bail been stewed in honey, with lavender for flavor ing. She repeated the kiss—the munificent little »ugel!—exclaiming: “Dear, dear Richard! How delighted I am that you have come at last!” 1 was dumb. My mouth was sealed up with the sweetness of her kisses. I dared not speak lest I should dissolve the spell. “We have been expecting you for four whole days. Only think what a period of suspense 1” went on the* soft voice of the lady, as, clasping my hand, she drew me unresistingly to a pha eton. in waiting. “There, make yourself easy. I’m going to drive. Isn’t it pleasant to be Waited on, Richard The arch brown eyes sought mine, as, draw ing up the fur-lined rolies, iny companion shook the reins over the white horses, aud we were whirled rapidly away. ‘Tapa is so anxious to see you once more, Richard; but his rheumatism is worse to-day, aud he could not drive down. William is ab sent on an errand for the bride. But I would come. I wanted so much to be the first to greet you. dear Richard. Alice is so beauti ful Richard, you ought to be the most grate fill man alive.” "I—I—believe I am,” exclaimed I. as reach ing up her sweet face, the little enchantress favored me w ith another kiss, which, this time, I repaid with compound interest, aud then blushed boiling hot to think of it. At this moment the phaeton stopped at the door of a flue old mansion on an aristocratic street; and, mechanically, I ulighted and lifted out my companion. The hall door was thrown open. The clasping hand of the young lady drew me within the vestibule; her musical *V»VV VHUV1I CWIHJ ni tut UUUI VI a UUHUUlf “Alice, Richard has come.” Instantly the door flew open, and a dark haired, beautiful woman came forth. She Sazed at me an Instant with unutterable ten erucss, and then embraced me. with a ming ling of fervor and shyness, that was absolutely bewildering. Verily, I was a favored individ ual. An elderly gentleman, supporting liim •elf by a cane, now came forward and saluted me, calling me his “dear son,” and cutting short everything I attempted to say by his joyful volubility. The folding doors separating the sitting room and parlors were thrown apart. I heard the subdued hum of voices, the rustling of heavy silks, and, waiting in the alcoved arrh in an east window. 1 saw a clergyman in gown and bands. The elderly gentleman took the hand of the dark-haired Alice and placed it itj mine. “Take her,” he said, with emotion,“and may God prosper yott. We wHI have the most im portant thing first, and dinner afterward. The guests are already getriog impatient.” I glanced at Alice’s dress. It was bridal white; and her beautiful hair was crowned with a wreath of orange blossoms. The sight gave me a tremor. Mv pallor must have alarmed Alice, for she clutched mv arm wildly, and gazed into my face with painful anxiety. “What is it. Richard? Are you ill? Merciful heaven! Helen, look at him He is ill!” “It is nothing—nothing I gasped. “Only I cannot marry you! I—” “Oh, heaven cried Alice, in horrified dis may; and seeing she was about to fall, I flung my arm around her for support. At this mo ment the hall door was opened, and, turning at the sound, I saw, with my own eyes, my second self enter the room! My exact coun terpart. Richard Smith number two. His fierce eyes took in the scene at otic sweeping glance. He rushed towards me with a wild ejaculation, and, tearing the half-fainting Alice ft'om my arms, he planted hi- firm graspou my throat. I put my hand on the same locality of bis hoilv. What tire you doing?” he thundered in mv ear. "What are you doing?” I thundered in re sponse. “Tour life shall paythe forfeit!” heexclatm ed. with mad violence. “The man who Inis dared to win Alice Hereford's love shall die!” “Gentlemen,” interrupted the sweet voice of her wlmm they called Helen,“be patient; there is tome mistake, Which of you is nam ed Richard Smith?” “I am,” replied I. “I am,” replied my counterpart. “But which of you is Richard Smith, the son of Archibald Smith?” ‘•I am,” said my second self. “And I am not,” said I; “my father was named Robert.” Helen looked at me a moment, half in doubt, evidently, how to treat me after what had oc curred. Finally she held out her hand. “I beg your pardon, Mr. Smith; it was all a careless mistake of my own. Can you for give me?" I thought of the kisses she had given me, and wished the same mistake might be made over again, though I was wise enough not to make known my wish. "Let me explain,” she continued, frankly. “We were expecting my brother Richard home from the South, where he has been some four or live months past, and were quite sure that he would arrive on the train which brought you. He has been some years engag ed to Miss Hereford, and the marriage ceremo ny was to take place immediately on his arri- j vai. I went down to the depot to welcome him. and because of the strilking similitude In your respective personal appearance, I mis took a stranger for my brother. That is all. Brother Richard, Mr. Smith, is entirely blame less of any wrong. We gave him no time for explanation. Let me present you to each other as friends.” My counterpart shook hands with me, and begged my pardon for dislocating my neck tie. I granted it, and begged bis pardon for committing a like depredation on his neck-tie. And then at sigu from the elderly gentleman, we all walked into the drawing-room, where, in a brief space of time, my counterpart was made the husband of his biushing Alice. The acquaintance so singularly begun with the Smith family, soon ripened into friendship and became one of the most precious of life’s blessings to me. Helen Smith had kissed me, j and she could not forget it. If a man can get a woman to think of him—it hardly matters in what wav—he lias a claim on her: and so it was in iny case. I believe that I never met Helen but she blushed at the memory which stole over her. Three months after our first meeting, site kissed tne and called me Dear Richard.” And this time she was well aware that she was not addressing her brother. Is it a fortunate, or an unfortunate thing, to have a counterpart? When I think of the boarding house-keeper. 1 say, Xobut when I look at Helen and recall the circumstance of our introduction, I am accustomed to answer Yes.” MISCELLANEOUS.^ II II.
