THE 7-30 GOVERNMENT LOAN. 
much to their disappointment, suffered to re¬ 
main behind. A careless glance at her face, 
would assure you that she is a calm, gifted, and 
happy woman. But a close observer would 
detect a sad, restless look, a yearning for some¬ 
thing uever to be realized. Oh! what is wealth, 
beauty, talent, or fame, to a true woman with 
capabilities of deep, unmeasured love? What 
is the adoration and love of noble hearts laid at 
her feet, when the love for which she pines is 
denied her? Ah! they are a cruel mockery to 
her aching heart. She looks upon them all 
with a tender, sorrowful gaze, with a glance 
that would make your heart ache, and your 
eyes fill with tears, did you really know its 
import. Perhaps an extract from Missus's 
journal will best explain her emotions this quiet 
morn: 
June SOth — I have just arisen lVom the organ, 
where I have been performing a favorite symphony 
from Bekthovkn. Thought, ever active thonght, car¬ 
ried me hack lo the season of childhood, when the 
hours moved ns smoothly and sweetly nlopg ns the 
Introductory strains of the symphony; still, like it, 
moving swiftly onward, gradually overcome by those 
of thrilling, tumultuous, agonizing sorrow, I can but 
think they would have gone ever onward in the same 
liunulL had not muaic. sweet music, come to soften 
the anguish. Now they pass calmly, and pleasantly, 
only at unguarded moments surging about In restless 
unquiet. The end is not yet; but 1 pray God it may, 
like the closing strains of the symphony, sink gently, 
and sweetly away. Could the love of my girlhood 
have been reciprocated, my life would have passed in 
serenity to its close. But 1 know I am better for the 
trials I have met, and trusting in my Heavenly Father, 
who has been my strength, 1 will still try tu overcome 
the yearnings for a love that can never be mine. 
The morning is in the full perfection of its 
beauty, but Minmk is unconscious of its 
charms, for reminiscences of the past sweep 
o’er her soul, like sweet, sad strains from the 
strings of a well-tuned harp. Suddenly the 
door is thrown open, and the matron exclaims, 
in breathless anxiety: 
“ Come with me, quickly. Oh! Miss Mason, 
do, please! I do believe he is dead!”—[Con¬

THE BURIALS. 
From the N. Y. Examiner. 
Many of the advantages of this loan are 
apparent on their face, but there are others 
that will be last understood after consideration. 
Among them there are, 
Its Absolute Security.— Nearly all active 
credits are now based on Government securities. 
Batiks of issue and Savings bunks hold them in 
large quantities—in many cases more than the 
entire amount of their capitals—and they hold 
them hs the very best and strongest investment 
they could possibly make. If it, were possible 
to contemplate the financial failure of the Gov¬ 
ernment. no bank would be any better or safer. 
Savings banks that allow their depositors but 
five per cent, can only pay interest or principal 
in greenbacks or notes of State banks. Banks of 
issue and discount can not, ask or get anything 
better than Government paper in payment of 
customers' notes, and they prefer it to all other, 
for they are compelled to redeem their own 
notes in that paper as the circulating medium 
next to specie in value. By the issue of this 
loan the U. S. Treasury becomes a Savings 
bank for the people. There are none stronger— 
none more solvent, and not one that pays so 
liberally for the use of money. You may de¬ 
posit fifty dollars or fifty thousand. The more 
you put in, the more you will aid and strengthen 
the Government, and the more valuable will be 
the remaining currency of the country. 
Its Liberal Interest.— The general rate 
of interest is six per cent, payable annually. 
This is seven and three-tenths, payable semi¬ 
annually. If you lend on mortgage, there must 
be a searching of titles, lawyers’ fees, stamp 
duties and delays, and you will finally have 
returned to you only the same kind of mouey 
you would receive from the Government, and 
less of it. If you invest in this loan, you have 
no trouble. If there is no National bank at 
hand, any hanker will obtain it for you without 
charge, and pay you the interest coupon at the 
end of six months as a most convenient form of 
remittance to his city correspondent. If you 
wish to borrow’ ninety cents on the dollar upon 
it, you have the highest security in the market 
to do it with. If you wish to sell, it will bring 
within a fraction of cost and interest at any 
moment. It will be very handy to have in the 
house. 
Its Convertibility into a Six Per 
Cent. Bond. —Here comes an advantage that 
must not be lost sight sight of. At the expira¬ 
tion of three years a holder of the notes of the 
7-30 loan has the option of accepting payment in 
full or of funding his notes in a six percent, gold 
interest bond, the principal payable in not less 
tbnu five nor more than twenty years from its 
date, as the Government may elect For six 
months past, these bonds have ranged at an av¬ 
erage premium of about eight per cent in the 
New York market, and have sold at 109 to-day 
(July 28.) Before the war, l. r . S. six per cent, 
stocks sold at a much higher rate—and were 
once bought up by the U. S. Treasury under 
special act of Congress at a premium of not less 
than twenty per cent There is no doubt that 
this option of conversion is worth at least two or 
three per cent, per annum to the subscriber to 
the loan, thus increasing the actual rate of inter¬ 
est to about ten per cent Notes of the same 
class issued three years ago, are now selling at a 
premium that fully proves the correctness of 
this statement 
The Secretary of the Treasury has been told 
that he must “buy money at the highest rate 
necessary to command it;” that he should sell 
his obligations “ for what they would bring,” 
so as to lead the market; but the Secretary will 
do no such thing. If Rhylock bought bonds at 
90 in August he would demand a concession of 
another ten per cent in September, and twenty 
in October, until he would finally offer to lend 
only the interest and keep the principal. 
If Government securities are worth any¬ 
thing, they are richly worth all their face 
calls for in gold, and the country is not so poor 
in spirit or in purse as to submit to any such 
sacrifice as Shyloek demands. There is hut a 
limited supply of money seeking investment at 
any time, and the Government offers to pay lib¬ 
erally for its use. At the rate of seven and 
three-tenths percent, per annum, to say nothing 
of the collateral advantages, it is the strongest 
borrower in the market, and every feeling of 
interest, as well as patriotism and duty, should 
induce our readers to invest in its loans.

completed.” 
We must pass the weeks of busy preparation, 
the sad hour of parting, and the first few months 
of Minnie's labor, and look in upon her this 
dreamy autumn morning. You would hardly 
pronounce her beautiful, yet she certainly looks 
very interesting, as sin- sits before the organ, 
her slight form enveloped in a blue silk morn¬ 
ing robe, with delicate facings, her wealth ot 
soft brown hair put t-i-tefully back from her 
broad, intellectual forehead, and her whole soul 
absorbed in the music that responds to the touch 
of her snowy fingers. Her brow is calm, her 
lips are firmly compressed, and her eye glows 
with the fire of genius. A voice disturbs her, 
and she looks up to meet the gaze of her 
teacher. 
“Pardon my abruptness in entering unan¬ 
nounced. The servant rang several times for 
admission, and received no answer to her sum¬ 
mons.” 
“ You are certainly excusable. I am wholly 
absorbed in my studies; they occupy my sleep¬ 
ing and waking thoughts.” 
“ Well, if you eoutinue to practice with such 
unceasing assiduity, you will become an artist 
the world will be proud to acknowledge.” 
The conversation was interrupted by the en¬ 
trance of a servant, bringing Minnie a letter 
from Anna. She could hardly wait patiently 
for an opportunity to peruse its contents. After 
a few directions about her lesson, her teacher 
bade her good morning, and. she almost flew to 
her chamber, to enjoy her dear Anna’s letter 
in silence. With ft quick, eager motion, she 
broke the seal, and read: 
Walter has gone, no one knows where. A few 
weeks after your departure, he called on me: our cou- 
versalinti natnrally let! to the subject of your ub-once 
lie expressed lunch astonishment that you should 
leave so suddenly and quietly; and when he learned 
how far yon bad gone, and how long yon Intended to 
remain, I fancied his brow grew pale, and hie lips 
slightly quivered, ae be said, * Will you tell her that 
Walter Wallice’s best wishes arc for her success, 
and he would have esteemed highly the privilege of 
saying adieu ere she left for so long a time ’ Oh! 
Minnie, I can but think he loves you. His sudden 
disappearance seems very mysterious, at least.” 
The letter fell from her grasp, her face grew 
deadly pale: then a bright, exultant look 
beamed all over it, suddenly giving place to 
one of hopeless agony, as she exclaimed, “ No, 
no, it can not be. It is no more than any one of 
my friends would have said to Anna, knowipg 
her love for me. No, no; if he had loved me, 
he would have sought my love in return. Then 
awake 1 Oh, Ambition! and away to thy task.” 
Placing the letter in a private drawer, and 
turning the key, she hastily descended to her 
work. The calm, decided look came back to 
her face, and renewed energy to her mind. In 
reply to Anna’s letter she wrote: 
“ Walter’s sudden disappearance is certainly mys¬ 
terious. For a moment, a ray of hope dawned o’er 
the darkness, but soon gave place to that hopeless 
agony that passeth speech. Anna, if Walter had 
loved me, four years of acquaintance were enlthieul to 
reveal it. 1 turned from that, hope to my studies, with 
as much determination lo drown my sorrows as the 
inebriate ever turned to his bowl Jo drink and forget 
his woes. I love music passionately. I will driuk 
deep of its inexhaustible fountains. I who sit here 
this sunny room, with a heart that loves as deeply as 
one ever did, will cast that love from its throne, and 
let ambition take its place.” 
Four years have passed in rapid succession 
since Minnie Mason commenced her studies. 
Time and perseverance have fulfilled the pro¬ 
phecy of her teacher, and the decided “ I must 
and will succeed,” of her own lips. Her name 
is a familiar one, and her skill is highly es¬ 
teemed. During this time she lias lived a life 
of uprightness, crowned with good deeds. 
Many a poor student blesses her as his benefac¬ 
tress. Many a sad heart has been cheered by 
her sweet smiles, kind words and generous 
deeds. Her trust is in God. Her faith that 
God docth all things well has been her support 
in every trial. Like a trusting child, she hath 
done what she could, leaving the result with 
her Heavenly Father. Not satisfied tvith the 
skill acquired at home, she resolved to travel 
through foreign lands, to pursue still farther 
her favorite science. In company with friends, 
she left her native shores a few months pre¬ 
vious lo the completion of her twenty-fourth 
year. 
It is a lovely morning. Merry birds are 
warbling forth their grateful songs. The sum¬ 
mer breeze is gently stealing through the open 
windows of a fashionable boarding-house, where 
Minnie is passing the summer. A party of 
friends have gone on an excursion,— Minnie, 
not feeling quite strong enough to endure the 
fatigue, was, at her earnest request, though 
Written for Moore's Rural New-Yorker. 
LOVE AND AMBITION: 
OR, HE DOETH ALL THINGS WELL, 
“ Are you sure, Minnik ?” 
“Yes, I am quite sure, that "Walter Wal- 
lice cherishes nothing deeper than sentiments 
of friendship for me. Often I have met a ten¬ 
der, searching glance of his eye, and lor a mo¬ 
ment a ray of hope would break through the 
gloom of my troubled soul, and as quickly go 
out, leaving it all darkness, when I remembered 
it was only the reflection of my own gaze. For 
when we look upon the object of our warmest 
love, we are apt to imagine the answering look 
one of tenderness; and to invest their every act 
with peculiar interest. Four long, Jong years 
have I loved him deeply, fervently, hopelessly; 
during that period it has beeu the greatest effort 
of my life to tear that love from my heart, and 
meet him as calmly and unmoved as I would a 
stranger. Pride, and reason, bid me sever my 
affection from one who does not reciprocate it: 
but in opposition to all my eflorts. it grows 
deeper, and purer, and threatens to fill the fu¬ 
ture with unsatisfied yeanlings and sad memo¬ 
ries. How sacredly I have guarded my secret, 
fearful lest even you should dream of its exist¬ 
ence. Oh, how many times I have longed to 
lay my head in your lap, and tell you all about 
the dreadful anguish of true, but hopeless love. 
How I eras ed your sympathy, and longed for 
your sweet voice of comfort. But 1 could not 
endure to grieve, and sadden your warm, loving 
heart, aud I should not tell you now, did not 
my intended, and seemingly abrupt departure, 
make an explanation due you.” 
A lovely picture they made, those young, fair 
maidens, sitting together in Minnie’s quiet 
chamber, with the soft, silvery moon-beams rest¬ 
ing in purity on the carpet at their l'cet; and the 
balmy zephyrs playing dreamily 'mid the folds 
of the snowy curtains, and gently stealing 
through the broad bands of their long, silken 
hair. They were cousins, and confidants; ming¬ 
ling much in each other’s society, an attach¬ 
ment tender and pure as that of sisters sprang 
up between them. Always trusting and in 
sweet confidence, and sharing their joys and 
sorrows with each other. 
Minnik Mason had just completed her 
twentieth summer. She was scarcely above 
the medium height, slight figure, fair complex- 
ion, light brown hair, bright, laughing eyes, be¬ 
neath whose sparkling surface you could read 
depth of thought, firmness of purpose, resolu¬ 
tion, and determined perseverance. She was 
quite dignified in her bearing, yet extreme 
kindness aud thoughtfulness characterized all 
her movements. She possessed a warm, gener¬ 
ous heart, and soul imbued with love to God. 
No one could know her, but to respect and love 
her. There was a peculiar appropriateness, 
beauty and simplicity in her dress, that seemed 
to bleud harmoniously with her figure, appear¬ 
ance and sentiments. 
Anna Allen was two years her senior, tall 
and slender, hair of dark brown, eyes with a 
dreamy expression, betraying the romance ot 
her nature, yet wanting the strength of pur¬ 
pose that characterized Minnie’s. Extremely 
sensitive and affectionate in her disposition, she 
lived contented and happy in the society of dear 
ones that composed her circle of friends, caring 
not for the vanities and unsatisfying pleasures 
of fashionable society. She had had several 
suitors, but she cherished for none any hut feel¬ 
ings of friendship. And as yet, the deep 
fountains of love in her soul were quiet and 
undisturbed. "When Minnie breathed her se¬ 
cret to her listening ear, her sympathies were 
aroused, but she did not understand or realize 
fully her emotions. 
“Truly,” she answered, “Walter Wal- 
lick is a noble man; yet he is not superior to 
many others that would win my darling, and 
why can she not love them as well ?” 
«It can never be: I can not transfer this love 
to another, and all that remains for me is to go 
forth from my home, and all the influences of 
his society, and drown my grief in study. I 
have chosen the science of Music. The best 
advantages that money can procure shall be 
mine, while my energy and perseverance shall 
know no bounds. God willing, I will succeed 
in becoming a famed artist; and never will I 
return only as a guest to this dear home, until 
Walter is married, or my love for him sub- 
dued. Think not this resolution has been 
thoughtlessly or hastily taken. It has been the 
subject of many prayers and tears. It has cost

the lamp up und down, or sideway «, on one tdde 
of the line of vision; in a short time an image
