Jealousy in Two Worlds. Students of tbe world's history are constantly learning thai empires and epochs are born of trifles. But in bow manv catea these are legitimate births we have now no lime to consider. "And you mutt bring your friend with r Must be, indeed 1 Now the more Lieutenant Stockton thought it over, tbe farther be seemed '• drifting from bis social confidence. It did Indeed tppear a burlesque upon true great nrss that a military man should be ibe victim of such fears. But before my readers pass judgment they must be bettor informed. " Lieutenant Stockton for four years had been tbe slave of discipline and study, and , had oome home to Bourougbton with tbe purpose of finding life and living it. And that be might the bettor enjoy hls reat be had insisted upon tbe company of young ; j Landers, wb% bad just pasted bis second i yesr at thunililary academy. Bouroagbinc was too small a place Dot to wonder at anything wonderful. So : when it became noiaed abroad that Lieu- > tenant Stockton was engaged to Jennie lianlan. inquiry was first enthusiastically j directed lo gathering ail Ibe shreds of evidence that supported the report, and then | to dcbaliog the question, "Resolved, that Jennie lianlan is not Ibe girl for Lieutro- I ant Stockton," with the affirmative , universally triumphant. — j But Lieutenant Stockton cared very t Kttlc for such innocent interference. i He was rather aggressively proud of Jennie Hanlan — more so than ot bit com- 1 missioo or academical honors— and so it t came to pass that his first demand on ■ Harry Landers was for bis company on a t visit to her bouse. And our story begins t where that vtall ends- f Jealousy is proof of the presence of love and_ the absence of confidence. Both elr- ; moots are necessary factors In tbe product. I a man is indifferent lo a woman's | or certain of tbvm. be cannot be t Jealous; but if be loves and doubts bet, he cannot be anything else. f Lieutenant Stockton's devotion lo Jen- t Die Hanlan was established— til conceded < while pretending lo wonder at it— but bis confidence seemed yet mor^boundless. s She might go with whom she pleased t smile as sweetly as she divinely willed, i dance with the young lawyer all nigbt,and t write down to tbe academy the particulars f with tbe utmost impunity. But this night » —well, well! there waa no possible excuse for bis foily, and be would think no more t •f It. Bright and early tbe next morning be r left Harry Landers in the library, writing a letter hume. and saddling bis borne, rode a ■<r-r tn tbe Harbor, to take dinner with a aunt, and listen to the advice that been gradually accumulating over bia for tbe past two years. c lie received a hearty welcome, an ex- s celled dinner, and even bettor advice, lite e long protracted that it wni not until late the aflmoon that be was able to imprint the farewell kiss on the old tariv's cheek s 5 i

I and begin bis retreat from ber hospitality. I But at so sharp a pace did be urge the I sorrel mare that the sun was still in the heavens when tbe centre of tbe forest was t reached, and be pulled up at a spot which t j bad been a favorite one with him from i childhood. . Our memories are loyal to tbe law of i j association; and as the Lieutenant fastened I tbe mare to a tree a liule from tbe highway. and then threw htmaetf on a grassy t knoll by a spring, a panorama of bisyoupg < _ llfs, before epualettea and ambition's | i dream bad come to dazzle, seemed to rise i before him. His truant days, when with- ■ i out furlough be bad stayed from school i with" certain boon companion!, tbe boors be spent at' this very spot, tbe fon of t f splashing the waters of tbe brook In one i another's faces, or building a dam a bit < 5 below the fountain aoureea, with faintest I I manifestations of that engineering skill I that was In score him high at Ibe academy. I , Bui bow could be chase away such ■ . thoughts long ere they brongbt him to tbe r lime wheti the eyes of Jennie Hanlan ! j seemed blocker and brighter than tbe eyes ' I of I lie oth(* girls, and bit fatsbfol glsnces ! were answered by yet more ardent one*. ' notil, wbcnfce finally easayed to riva||ber I ' boldness site would turn away and smile at sweetly elsewhere, and be awoke to find ( t himself head over heels in love with tbe 1 - greatest flirt la acbool? But as they grew < I older be was certain Jennie Improved, 1 until one bright morning— the very ■ t brightest of bit life — tbe past waa all I secured by that letter of all let tors, that 1 ' answered bis Inflammable epistle from tbe I academy, and assured him that she, Jennie : I Unit n — thoughtless, wayward Jennie i Hanlan— would be bia osrn true sweet- t t heart for ever and ever— amen. s

It should be said that they 1 were dressed in cooskknblT better style : than tbe model tramp, but their clothes < seemed to speak rather of former spicn- I don than of future hopes; of a setting rather than a rising sun.

"I waa woodcring what Ibe time is" It seemed an innocent and reasonable n manner of wonder, but bis companion , d looked at him - inquiringly. Jack's u- . d sweriog glance appeared to satisfy him.

And he stole m the sorrel, unfastened ber, aud , for hisrevolver. There was a heavy Mep crushing the c under-brush behtod him. and then Ibe (| munition of tbe weight ot a hemisphere upon bis bead, and the enrtb seemed rise up towards him— and all was black, j It was a strange place where Lieutenant next found himself. He was * walking a level plain, which presented do j object as far as his eye could reach. . Suddenly a man of Blunted growth seemed to spring up from the ground ^ before bim. Tbe more tne Lieutenant . watched bim the belter he waa satisfied that be had met bim before, but bis per. " Identification was possibly prevented 4 tbe inexpressible sadness of his face. "What makes you 10 unhappy ?" asked ° tbe Lieutenant "Because I'm dead," was tbe abrupt h -reply. Tbe Lieutenant iuvoiuntarly shuddered, 0 and sgain looked aboulhimoverlbcpiain. p "Aud what place U this ?" "Hell!" ■ And the eyes leered up at him with so exulting a grimace that the Lieutenant " started back, whilst tbe only name be bad known bim by in tbe other world -leaped to bia lips. " "Jack !" b But "Jack" bad aa auddenly vaniabed " be bad appeared, and the Lieutenant

was only left to wonder if Harry Landers : killed him and saved Jennie. Then a gloomy castle rose before him, i and tbe Lieutenant entered a door that opened before bim. lie was In a library, elegantly furnished. Bui bis entrance had attracted another's attention, and a y onng man lotked up from his srrillng. It was Harry Landers. To uy that Lieutenant Stockton was surprised it to suppose that so; thing could surprise bim now, but there was a, passionate exultation which turned bim to bannt bltn with "Shame !" and "Devil!" He had indeed been metamorphosed intq ooe. Bulk seemed to know all, and aa Harry started up he drew bia revolver. Almost ' simultaneously tbe library of the strange ' caftle heard tbe sharp .reports ring down Us corridors and galleries. 1 Lieutenant Stockton could feel the bot 1 Lining through bis brain, but ha was living through his agony; this world knew 1 no death. Yet be reeled and staggered 1 his eyes yet fixed on Harry Landers ' a stream or blood burst from the 1 hoy's forehead be could have cried out 1 with Joy— only he waa too weak, and fell 1 to the floor. < That moment a acreen to the Hgbl aud.

J Io a final analysis and true estimate e.f | Mr. Buchanan's conduct in tbe first Magff ■ of ibe revolt, the condition of tbe popular • mind as just described must be taken Into j , account. Tits ayne influences and ex- I pectalions Ihtt wrought upon the people ! ' working also u|wo bim. There were two Mr. Buchanans in the closing months of the administration. The first 1 Mr. Buchanan ot November and I December, angered by tbe decision of the ' I election god more than will. ' that Ibe North, including bia owo Slate, Mtould tie ^Pipliued by fright to moreconserative vipwi and to a stricter observance of what be. considered solemn obligations imposed by tbe ConMitution. the Southern threat of resistance to tbe authority, of the Union had g'me no farfjtcr than this, Mr. Buchanan would been really reconciled to its tempoViolence sod would probably have considered il a naii mal blessing in dis. guise. Tbe second was Mr. Buchanan of January uud February, acpiliod by sur. rounding aud men a. ing perils, grieved by the conduct of Southern men whom he bad implicitly trusted, overwhelmed by tbe realization of tbe evils which bad obviously followed bis official declarations. hoping earnestly for.Uic safety of lite Union, and yet more disturbed and iu bis mind than the y* ptvptetobo did not stand so near the ' dspg" as lie or so aecuralcly measure It/ alarming growth. Tne President of December with Cobb and Floyd and in his Cabinet, and the Presiof January with Dix and Staoton • and Holt for bis counselors, were radically different men. No true estimate of Mr. Buchanan in the crisis of htepubliccareer be readied if this vital distinction overlooked. It was Mr. Buchanan's misfortune to be ■ ealied to afit in an emergency which ; demanded will, fortitude and moral outrIn these qualities he waa deficient . lie did oot psseu the executive family, i His life had been principally devoted to : tbe practice of law in the in ot peaceful of communities and to service in legislative i whqre he was boroc along by the < forces of association. Ue had not been trained to prompt decisioo; bad not been i accustomed to exercise command. He < was caul ioos and conaerative lo the point i of timidity. He possessed ability ot a ' high order and, though be thought slowly. « could master the UIOM difficult subject i with comprehensive power, liia service i of ten years in tbe House and an equal i period in tbe Senate was marked bv a 1 conscientious devotion (oduly. He did ' not rank with tbe ablest members of cither I body, but always bore a prominent part I in important discussions and maintained ' himself with credit. « It was said of SJr. Buchanan that be < instinctively dreaded to assume response 1 bility of any kind. His keenest critic < remarked that in tbe tentative period of I political issues assumed by bis party. Mr. ' t

, Buchanan could always be found two paces to tbe rear, but jn the hour of triumph be marcbcd proudly in. the front ^ rank. He was not gifted with independ. ence or self-assertion. Hi« bearingtowardi ' Southern statesmen was derogatory to bim , u a man of spirit. His tone towards , adminstrations of bis own part j' was so deferents! as almost to imply a lack of ( self-respect. He was not a leader among men. Ue was always led. Ue was ltd by Mason and Boulc into the Imphtdcnce J of aigning the (Istend manifesto; ha was led by the Southern metnlicrs of bis Cabinet into tbe inexplicable folly and blunder of indorsing tbe Lecomplnn iniquity; be , was led by disunion Senators into Ibe ! deplorable mistake contained In his Its! . annual message. Fortunately for bim he , was led a mouth later by Black aud Holt and Stanton to a radical change of bis , If Mr. Buchanan boil possessed Ibe un- , conquerable will of Jackson or the stubborn Courage of Taylor, be could have changed the history of the revolt against . the Union. A great opportunity came to ; but be was not equal to it. Always I admirable adviser where prudence and cautidurarere the virtues required, be was . fatally wauling in a situation which ' . demanded prompt action and strong nerve. ' I. As representative io Congress, as Senator, as Minister abroad, as Secretary of Stale. ' . career was honorable and successful. 1 , His life was singularly free from persona! ' fault or abort -coming.

But the American 1 t hog, which, io one way or another, is - makiug so much' ttouhle, has, it seems, 1 f penetrated the dairy and got into the but- 1 . tor. Over fifteen million pounds of what c r is known in the trade aa butterinc was 1 « sold io New York last year. It is manu- ' r factored chiefly in Chicago and sold as ' 1 genuine butter. There are two varieties. ' . Otic contains of 80 per cent of lard and 30 1 ! per cent of cheap grade butler. This is ' I not quite good -enough for New York, ' L but finds a ready sale iu the lumber and ' ; -mining regions of the Northwest, as well ' / as in Texas and the territories. f The more cultured palsies of the East ' I require a less gross counterfeit- so thst 1 tbe Chicago pork packers give us 4 II per ' i cent of butter, of a little belter quality • than tbey sell the miners, with only 00 * . per cent of lard iu it. Tbe Muff, wc are I r told, has ruined tbe sale of middle "grades ' i of pure bolter in New York City, and is ' sold at retail at from twenty to forty-five ' : cents a pound. Oleomargarine, which is ' i a romponod of suet, butter and milk, [ with a little lire! in Winter to prevent it c . from crarking. sells at very nearly the « tome price.

Wbctb- ' L er purchasers ask for oleomargarine, but- 1 t toriue or butter, they are charged differ- r cot prices, and perhaps are served out of I different tubs, but receive" exactly the t t saute article, which is cither lard butter or t I suet butter, as lite dealer happens to be 1 i provided. Il is seldom buyers ask for tbe t spurious article. At least #5 per cent of I tbe bogus butler purchased is bought by t people who pay for tbe genuine dairy pro- ! duct, and tblnit they are geltiDg it. t This counterfeit butter business Irak be- » . the biggest fraud of tbe age.
