How lonely it wae in ray little seven by nine
room hemmed in as it were, by the roar and tumult of tbe hotel in the grey gloom of the October
evening.
AU alone iu the world; and there was Jones in
the next room, cooing to bis lat baby; and I knew
just as well as if the partition was glass instead of
lath and mortar, just how Mrs. Jones waB leaning
over the wretch's shoulder, her plump cheek close
to his,
I caught myself wondering, in a sort of ecstatic
state, how it would seem ifl were a married man,
aud there was a little work basket on my table,
nnd a small pair of slippers alongside my boots,
and if Isabel Snow's fair curls were glistening iu
the light of the gas buruer! I could'ut stand it another minute. Up I jumped, determined to go to
Isabel's then and there, to ask her if ehe would'nt
take the most miserable of lonely Hcamps for her
husband!
The cheerful parlors were iu cosy glow of gaslight and fire shine ; old Mr. Snow, was dosing as
usual, with a red silk handkerchief over his bald
head ; Mrs. Snow, with two other dragons iu spec
tacles and falsa fronts, were deep in thc contents of
a mammoth "Dorcas basket," each female appar-
nntly trying to talk out the rest. Bless Ihem! 1
was thankful to Dorcas baskets for ouce in my life!
Isabel aat by a shaded light iu a back parlor, stitching away at a green worsted parrot in a wilderness
of canvas, upou a little sofa that just held two. I
took the other seat, and we discoursed in mysterious whispering about the   weather.   At   length
he whispered, under her breath,

Be that as it muy, tlie kettle is singing on the j som
firegihis bright evening, the parrot hangs in a oth:
gold frame over my writing-table, aud my wife oonl
sits just opposite with a black eyed boy on her tain
inp, scarce three months old. who entirely pre-'
eludes the necessity of "adopting" any one else
into the family.
I don't envy Jones dow—his baby isn't half as
pretty as mine. And as for his wile, she's nowhere
by tlie side of Isabel.

"Mies Isabel!'' I began nervous
her ivory bodkin, and resolving to p
this suspense.
Isabel lifted the long fringes of ber eye-lushes:
the soft beam oi" her blue eyes made a poltroon of
me at once,
"Don't it take you a long time to finish these
elaborate pieces of worsted work !"    I stuttered.
She made some laughing reply; what it ttaa I
don't remember, for I waa mentally cudgelling
myself as a cowardly, sneaking villain and goading
myself on to a second charge.
"Miss Isabel, I have been wishing to tell yon
this long time, but I never could screw up my j
courage, that—"
Why did'nt I go on—what demon possessed me
to stop aud fight there, aud finith the auspicious I
beginning with—''that I've decided to get a new1
Panama hat this eummer, jast like that you tho't
bo pretty."
Miserable poltrocu that I was. I had not even
resolution to resume the conversation until Isabel
herself commenced talking about her lackot occupation.
' "I do get eo ennuyev"' sighed she, "just for
eome object to absorb ray attention besides Dorcas
baskets and embroidery.*'
Why did'nt I ask if a husband wonld'nt do aod
propose myself for the vacant post? Because I
was a blockhead—isa't that reason eaoagh?
"I am thinking seriously,''said Isabel after she
had put in three sparkliog black beads for the parrot's eyes, "of adopting eome sweet little child tc
love and take care of. Do you suppose yen could
inquire round at, the institutions and find one for
me—a little boy ?:'
"Perhaps so ; at all events I'll try I" quoth I, a
Euddeu inspiration breaking through the thick fog
vfhich surrounded my brain. 'Suppose I look round
and call to-morrow evening.'
"Oh I I should be so delighted V
When I took leave, she laid her little hand in
mme. It was soft and warm, like a lily-petal
steeped in sunshine. Any ether man with a particle of pluck about him would have given it a
■squeeze.
The next evening, after two long hours at my
dressing-glass, I went bravely to Snow's hospitable domicile, determined, not exactly to do or die,
but to woe or die. I was desperate, and a desperate man _.**_ equal to most emergencies. The room
in which I was shown was empty but Isabel's work-
basket lay on tbe table and close beside was a
small china vase, with sprays of scarlet autumn
leaves and a bunch of wild blue aster placed in
■water. Had some miscreant of a lover placad
them there? The bare possibility set my heart to
throbbing and inspired me with a desire to thrash

From Krtglaiid.
Th(> following letter from London is published
in thc New York Times, a republican administration paper :
Tbere wna an excited debate last night in the
House of Commons about tbe threats of war,
breaches of neutrality, Alabama capture of the
Peteihoff, aud several other matters of interest.
Mr. Foster iirraigned the Government for ita neglect. Mr. Bright charged them with a cold and
uu!riendly neutrality. The Solicetor General declared that tbey bad dung everything which the
law required, and that judged by American authorities and precedents the Federal Government had
no right to complain. Then Mr. Laird, th« builder
of the Alabama, declared that be had been perfec
ly opeu and abovu-board, and had in uo rusptct
violated the law, and amid the cheers und laughter
of the House, declared he had received proposals
from an agent of tbe Federal Navy Department
to build iron-cladi and rams, completely armed
and equipped, and off* red to place tbe correspondence into tho bauds of Lord PaimerstoD. He asked which was lbe greatest violation of neutrality
to sell ships without guns, or to send to New York
cargoes of rifled cannon? Ho stated that sicce
the commencement of the war there had been ship
ped from Liverpool to the Northern pons, more
thau 6U.Q00 muskets, 370,000 rifles, 52,000,000
percussion caps, and many cargoes of "hardware.'
These were from Custom bouse manifests which
had passed through tbe hands of the American
Consul at Liverpool.
Wbat more could be said?* Mr. Bright declared
tbat war steamers, iron-clads and rams were build
ing now lor the Confederate Governmeut. The
localities of fourteen of tbem have been given ; but
tbe Government cannot interfere. A whole fleet
is preparing as rapidly as possible, ostensibly for
the Emperor of Cbiua. Everybody know., tbey are
intended to opeu the Confederate ports. Everybody knows that the Confederate loan was raised
to purchase their outfit Tbis waa the reason why
£1S.UOO,000 nearly S100;000,000 was wanted.
This was the reason wby the stock went up to par
and to 5 per ceut premium, though taken at &0 and
put on tbe market at 90.
The simple truth of the matter is that, with tbe
active sympathy of tbe upper classes, andthe
'■neutrality" of ihe government, a strong party ol
English capitalists,* cotton speculators, ship builders and merchants bave taken up the cause of tbe
south in earnest, and mean to put il through. They
have embarked their millions, aud do not mean lo
lose lbem. The government cannot interfere td
prevent it, and has no disposition to do so. Afi
Lord Falmerston said last night, if tbey attempted to amend the law, they might make it worse-
The governmeut will be neutral. It may even pas?
over tbe seizure of lhe Peterhoffby Capt. Wilkes_
TUey will let lhe north buy all tbe •'hardware*' in
Biiminghum, hut tbey neither can nor will prevent
the departure of a single one of the fourteen steam"
ers wbicb Mr. Bright says are filed out for tbe Confederate government. Fngland as a governmeut
is uot at war with you. but English capitalists and
mao^facturee are, aud I do not eee bow it is to be
helped. The interest, you must grant is a very
strong one. Look at the millions of capital rusting away in Lancashire. Look at tbe great cotton
manufacturing interest, wbich has encircled the
world ; at tbe dossed cotton ports, the dragging
war whicb shows no tiga of a termination, the
starving populations already beginning to breuk
out iuto riot  and disorder.
You talk of war, They as/c nothing better!
The more you threaten, the less likely th« government wili be to interfere with their projects. A
war tbey think would soon settle the matter. You
would take Cnuada. Well,
daj tbat Mr. Gladstoue wa
troublesome proviuce, oi
send out privateers.
will    be    blockaded,
of England— ituaniug the voting aud income tax-
paying public—all but a few disappointed republicans, hope for the success ofthe -south.
Lord Ilartingdou, in an election speech this
week, stated the whole case. He had juat come
from America where be had traveled iu both sections, and he was out and out southern, aud declared
that no union could be restored, nor could tbe
south be conquered. This opinion was never
so firm as at thii moment. Is it strange that
strong efforts should be mads to hasteu a result in
which faith isso general?
If the statements publicly made, and appurently
based on good authority, are to be believed, tbe
Confederates, within a month, will have at sea one
of the most formidable fleeti that ever steamed
out upon the Atlantic. Tbe steamers uow pre"
paring will ba as ttuet, as strong, as powerful as
British machinists can make them. You have net
begun to fortify the northern ports a day too soon.
I cannot, tell when tlie tbo blow will fail. I ouly
kuow that the Confederates here are iu a radiant
jubilation. They care nothing about Vicksburg*
or Charleston. Tbey expect to go borne in "90
days." They care nothing for the new Uuion
movement in the uorth. They care not for recognition.. The money market has recognized them—
that is enough. If colton is not king, it is at least
a bard subject, and bas given them a loan cf £15-
000.000 wilh the offer of six times as mnci. Tha
ie glory eaOtfgtf.
You may hear more oftbe Feterboff. but it i1
impossible to say what Earl Rusr-eli will do. Bu
British merchants will do as they like in spite o
him, I! you* want wnr, I judge that it can'ba
bad, and then you can tain the 400, BOO rifles anA
from Liverpool in this direction. War really exists at ibis moment, under the forms of peaceful
intercourse. Would ii be any belter cr worse if
it were avowed aud open?
Tbe matter of federal recruiting in Tilaud bafl
eome up in the House once nr twice, but as there
will be uo meeting until after tbe Easter holidays
Earl Russell will see to it. Mr. Bright told them
last night that every Irishman abroad was an enemy to England, lie might bave put in lour out
of every tive at home, any where in England or
Ireland. But though this is ) erfectly true, the
Irish fill up tbe ranks of the army and fight bravely for <ahat ever flag waves over them. They are
loyal and disloyal—both after their own fushion
They fight for the north and lor the south, and
would fight for England and agaiust her. Ireland
neutralizes herself every where, and speuds her
strength for naught. What England has got ie
money and that will command averytbiug else.
Coppevhea-tla,
The editor o! the New York Express, wbo has
bad tweuty five years' experience of fighting tho
democracy, says:
" If there be anything tba democrats can stand,
without wincing or willing, it is hard names ; and
wbat is curious, theso hard names become tbe slogans of their parly, and afterwards inter,sely popular. Tbe Original division ol parties in tbis country, after 1TS7, the era of tb-o conetitutiob, was
'federal' and 'republican,' Tiie federalists nicknamed the republicans 'democrats,1 and they took
tbo name aud made ii popular words in our American language, while originally tbe early republicans deemed it a term of reproach. We, old whigs,
along in 1830 32, christened all the democrats ioco
focos.' The Express people gave ihem lho name,
because they used locofoco matches in Tammany
Hall to relight up that hall—when the gas was
shut off to clear them out. The rascals aecepted
our nickname, locofoco, and made it popular. Now,
the abolitionists are christening the democrats 'copperheads,' and if they peisist in it, we should not
beat all surprised to find copperhead a word cs
popular as democracy, for whatever abolitionism
clings to or embraces it kills, and whatever it nick*
names it makes a shibboleth in popularity of. We:
old line whigs, then, and democrats, accept the
name of 'copperheads.' Consider us 'copperheads.
Callus 'copperhead.'"
Copperhead then, let it be! It's a very expressive designation.

This is tbe way Englishmen feel. They are grow

have not changed tbe feelings of the upper classes
at all. If abolition was ever a favorite idea of the
aristocracy, it is so uo longer. It is consigned to
the oblivion of the lower millions. The Times

important intelligence this evening. We learn

eighe days rations. We also learn trom another
source, that is vouched for aa reliable, that Geueral Keyes has taken Richmond, having advanced
upon it via Yorktown, and thut the Federal flaa;
uow waves over tbe rebel capital I -If thii intelligence be true, Hooker's tailing back was a ruse,
and the real advance upou Richmond was tobe
made while Lee's army was ou tbe Rappahannock .
If Stoueman has cut off General Lee, as is reported,
it will be the work of time for Lee to reach tbe
rebel capital. In the mean time, Hooker is on hia
heels.
We have a confirmation from a perfectly reliable
source, that Hooker baa re-crossed tbe Rappahannock. * . .
Gold has been falling rapidly to day, and tbis
