For Kate he reaped the poppies red That nodded ia tho corn ; For me he broke a pale sweet roso, And pulled away the thorn. He said the flowers were like her cheek : My heart was sore all day ; And wheo he held the rose to me, I tamed my face away. The blue shades fell ; and by the stile At doak we sat to rest; Through tears I watched the angels* wings' That flickered in the West. They gosslpped ; and I heard them soy, " Oh, she is never seen When K .to is near.' She ?light and pale, And Kate is like a queen." And they went g.uly by the fields ; And I, to bide my pain, S ipped from then at the dusky stile, And went homo by the lone.

[n tlie autumn of 18G4 Captain fruin Abbeville District, S. C., was COIL iriandihg a cum puny in one of 'he infill t y regiments in Kershaw o division c the Confederate army. He was a grea favorite with his command, and had serve throughout the war with fidelity and dis tincti ?n. In General Early's last grea disaster iii the lower Valley, Captain w:is badly wounded, and was shortly afterwards removed to one of the hospi tals iu this city. Iiis coudition was ; very precarious one, and the patienco am cheerfulness with which he bore his sui teringa attracted the attention of a lad; who was visiting the wards. The lady ii question, the wife of an estimable citizen was then about twenty-five years of age She had been married for some years and had one daughter, then about fi vi years old. Mrs.- was exceedingly fascinating and attractive, and an arden Southerner, having labored unceasingly in contributing to the comfort of ou soldiers. All her sympathies wereawak erred by the sad condition of the woundec officer, and she took him under her owi special care, lt was some weeks befon Captain-could again be moved wit! ? safety, and he was then, with her husband's consent, taken to Mrs.-'s house. after day passed, and Mrs.-was indo * fatigable in her attentions. Mr.-was engaged the greater part of thc day ii his business, and having implicit confi dence in his wife, saw without any feai the strong " friendship" which appeared to exist between her and Captain Up to this time Mrs.-had acted with great candor and sincerity. She was at tached to her husband and devoted to hei child, and apprehended no danger in find ing herself becoming more strongly at tached to her patient, 3nd more dependent for happiness upon his society. The re lation was simply a u fraternal" one, and with this assurance she quieted any doubts that were excited hy the occasional dem onstrativeness of Captain -' manner. This condition of affairs lasted until the beginning of 1865. Mr.-thought that his wife's friend recovered but slow ly, but his charitable and generous heart would not allow him to make any remark or express a wish for his departure. The little girl, however, was somewhat neg lected, and the whole of the mothers lime was spent in the company of tin wounded officer. At last, in January. 1S?5, Captain-was convalescent, and rcjo:.ned his command. Mrs.-seemed relieved by hb absence, but soon became dull and low spiiited. Still she received letter? regularly from Captain-, and to- this her husband made no objection, in April, 1865, on the retreat of Gen). Lee's army, Captain-was again wounded, and afterwards taken prisoner. lt was statod in the papers that he had been killed, aud Mrs.-seemed aliuo.it crazy with grief; but this was still at tributed to nothiug more than u friend ship " and " sisterly regard." After some time it was ascertained that Captain waa at Point Lookout. He was ultimate ly released, and, without coming to this city, went to his home, in South Carolina. Mrs.-gradually recovered her cheer fulness, and was all that her husband could desire until a few weeks ago. when Captain-arrived in Richmond, and went immediately to call upon her. Mr.-was unfeignedly glad to meet his wife's friend again, and invited him to ?tay at his house. Then the plot thick ened ! There was no need for Captain -to remain constantly in the house, but he continued to do so. Ile declined all introductions that were offered him, and would not go at all into general socie ty. At every hour of the day he was found in the company of Mrs. -. They played, sang, read poetry and walked together, until Mr.-beeame fairly annoyed and his fears aroused. Ile had no doubt of the wife who had prom ised to "love, honor and obey him," but he did fear for the peace of mind of the young officer. The manner and appearance of Mrs. -gradually changed. Her face be ' cam? paler and thinner-at ono moment ber cheek? would bo flushed with excite ment, nnd at the next colories* as snow. At one time she would be wildly gav and joyous, and then, a fevr hour** later, be gloomy and daring, her conduct tr> wards her husband being characterised bv the strongest contrasts of warmth and coldness in word and expression. The great struggle between duty and Inclina tion was being fought in her heart, and she knew itnot I lier husband was trust ing and confident-unsuspicious in his devoted love-while his honor and the integrity of his name were threatened and jeopardized. People at length began to talk, and some unpleasant rumors reached the cars of Mr. -*-. He thon hinted to Captain -that his visit had been a long one, and on Monday, 11 tb i instant, the Captain-- left bis house with ? th? expressed intention of retarmcg to I hb toa? ?the South. Mrs.-became nv?o?$ ?ad reserved. f ? She would not allow her little daughter to ll be near her, and treated her husband with coldness and contempt. It was noticed that she.went out a great deal in the eve ning, but no particular attention Wfl3 paid to this, and her husband endeavored in every way to soothe, by his love, the sorrow whose cause he did not then sus pect or comprehend. On Monday Jast Mrs.-toll her husband that she was going out to spend the evening with a friend, and he prom ised to call for her at about 9 o'clock. He hurried up town, and was punctual to the hour, but found to J^is surprise that his wife had not been to the appointed place. Not even then did he ssupect the sworJ that was suspended over his head ! He went home, learned that his wife was still out, and walked into the nursery, when his little daughter put her arms arouud his neck, crying, Pa! where ts Mamma? I do want my Mamma. Poor child! where, then, was your mother? Could not your voice ring in her ears and turn her back before it was too late ? Mr.-- comforted his little daughter a3 well as he could, and was theu hmded a note which had just been left at the door by a servant, lt contained but a lew words, but when it had been real, the happiness of his life was gone, ?nd a brave, strong heart was crushed with des pair. Only a few words : " I am not guilty, but I have deceived you, and I cannot any longer act a lie. I trusted to myself, and had father he?ip sin upon sin than admit my fault. You will never see or hear of me again. Hate me, despise mc-anything, but do not let my innocent child learn lo blush foV hei rn other." Mr.-'s first impulse was to track his wife,.kill her, and then kill himself; hut there was still the poor child crying, ?unid her tears, M Where is dear Mam rna?" and he resolved to make one effort tc save her upon whom he had showered a'l the rich treasures of his love. Folly aud crime naturally travel rorth, and on Tuesday .morning Mr.-left for Washington by the Frederick! burg railroad in pursuit of his wife and her .'friend." His mind was torn by doubt and uncertainty, and it was a relief to his suspense when he disembarked st the Federal capital. On thc wharf he leard sDmemen talking, and intuitively stopped They were speaking of a lady and gentle man who had come np on the night boat They said that the lady and gentleman appeared to be very friendly at first and walked up and down the forward deck very quietly. After awhile, however, they seemed to quarrel, and high and bit ter words passed between them. Mr. listened with intense interest for the end of the story, and asked in a careless tone what became of thc quarrelling pair -1 Whjg|sir," said the man, "just as soon as they got to the wharf a lady jumped into the 'Metropolitan' omnibus, and the man-plague on his rudeness !-look a hack for the Baltimore depot." Mr.-thought the pla? was deeply laid, but drove to the Metropolitan Hotel ?md registered his name. He then vent co his room, but had not been there five minutes when a servant knocked at the door, and with a very significant, look, said 'hat a gentleman in thc parlor wanted to tee him. Mr.-went down, opened thc door, and in a few moments his wife sobbing passionately, was lying at his feet. Hi; first impulse was to cost her from h'm, but she ciung to him in desperation, and implored him to stay. Her word were broken and strange : " Husband-forGod knows I may call you so-I was mad. mad, mad! He told me that i must not ?-tay ; he said he would bc a brother to me, and I, fool like, believed him. I did love him. Husband, for God sake do not leave me ; do not drive me to ruin ! When I lefc our house I dared not kiss our child-I dared not ! I knew not what I was doing; and on the cars, before we had been an hour gone, I thought I heard our child's voice crying, Where's mamma ! I do want my mamma ! lt nearly killed me. Ile was respectful, tender at first, but on thc boat he-insul ted me grossly ; still he is but a man. I left him-left him at once-and came here ! Hi:$band !" do what you will with me ! Kill ms if you will ; curse me ; 1 deserve it all ; but God knows that I am not altogether lost. Speak to me-do speak to me. Oh, do not look so strange ly-so strangely." She fainted. During the whole of Wednesday and Thursday she was delirious, and then un veiled all the secrets of her heart. Mr -was constantly with her, and saw how ingeniously and systematically her puro thoughts had been perverted and changed. He listened to every word she uttered, and when at last she regained her senses, he could kneel and return thanks that he could take back the wife of his heart-the mother of his child-to his home, without incurring the shame or reproach of a merciless world. Mr. and Mrs. -returned to" ?ich mond on Friday evening last, and from the lips of an intimate friend we heard this too true talc precisely as we have narrated it. Names of course are sup pressed, and the principal purpose of its publication is that it may serve as a mor al and warning to others. The conduct of Mr.-may possibly be condemned, but only those who are without fault have a right to condemn him ; and surely in thc eyes of Providence it wa3 better to be merciful and forgiving than to drive a weak woman, by harshness and cruelty, to a life-time of crime and shame, and an eternity of suffering and remorse.-Rich mond Dispatch. - -- Pointed Preaching Father Moody was an eccentric man. He had in his congregation a Colonel In graham, a wealthy farmer, who had kept back his large stock of corn from the mar ket in hopes of raising the price. The pastor hcarxl of it, and resolved to make a public attack upon the transgressor. One Sabbath he read for his text, " He that withholdeth the corn, the people shall curse him ; but blessings shall be upon ?he head of him thatseiieth it." Prov. xi. 25. Colonel Ingrah.vn could not but know to whom reference was made, but he held up his head, and faced his pastor with a look of stolid unconsciousness. Fath er M. went on with very strong remarks, became still walmer, and touched th? colo nel still more closely, who, however, still held up his head, apparently determined not to feel. At. last the preacher lost all patience and cried out, ** Colonel Ingra ham, yon know that I mean you; why J doti'I you hang doidn your head?" ^ tl bi ta NOT?CE. nnHE NOTES and ACCOUNTS due to ROB X ERT QUARLES at the time of his death, ?nd also the Sale Note? due to S.

There is no swaine box-the pressure being held by a cup-packing like upon the working-piston, working in a cylinder, flited for thc purpose within thc upper nir chamber-which wc think a greut movement, as shifting is so liable tn bc deranged and leak under strong pressure ?onay nothing of thc loss by friction Incident thereto. It has also two air chambers-thus the action of thc vii ve li cushioned upon both sides by air-preventing water hammer and vacunm-thunip. The valves are very ac cessible, and simply and cheaply repaired. They work easier than any pump we have ever seen : the 4 Inch cy linder being worked by children in wells ono bunda'd feet deep, and as they are extremely c^oup, as well a? simple and strong, we freely recommend thom."
