Thc following most touching fragrm of a letter from a dying wife to her h band was found by him, some moni after her death, between the leaves ol religious volume which she was vc fond of perusing. The letter, which v literally dim with te3r marks, was wi ten long before the husband waa awt that the grasp of a fatal disease had fi tened upon the lovely form of his wi who died at the early age of nineteen : " When this shall reach your ej dear G-, some day when you a turning over the relics of the past, I sh; have passed away forever, and the co white stone be keeping its lonely wat over tlic lips you have so often presse and the sod will be growing that sh? hide forever from your ??gilt the dust one who has so often nestled -dese to yo warm heart. For many long and slea less nights, when all my thoughts wc at rest, 1 have wrestled with the cona ousness of approaching death, until last it luis forced itself upon my mini and although to you and to others might scent but the nervous imagin?t ic of a girl, yet, dear G-, is it not sc Many weary hours have 1 passed m tl endeavor to reconcile myself to lea vii you, vbxm) ! love so weil, and this brigl world of sunshine apd Reality . and hat indeed is it to struggle sq silently alon with the sure conviction that 1 am aboi lo leave all forever and go down alot into thu dark valley ! " But 1 know in whom I have truste and leaning upon His arm, 1 fear no evi : Don't blame mc for keeping all this eve from y<.:;. ?To* could I subject you, < all others, to such SOJTOW as I feel : parting, when time will soon make il :tj parent to you ?

If we have a hoq)0 to shelter or hearts to rejoice with us, and friends who have been gathering around cur fireside, then the rough place of our wayfaring will be worn and smoothed away in thu twilight of life, whilst the bright sunny spots we have passed through will grow brighter and more beautiful. Happy, indeed, are those whose intercourse with the. world has not changed the course of their holier feeling, or broken those musical chord-of the heart whose vibrations ape ?j njel'?di iKis, so tender and so touching, in the evening of age." --? -th- ? LEAH YEAR.-There are thousands of bashful bachelors, old and young, who kook hopefully to leap year, and are waiting to be asked. They are anxious to have some fair ono lu do what they will never have the courage to do them selves-pop the question. They want to get married, but lack the courage to say so. Nothing but leap year can save them from the most gloomy and horrible fate. The ladies must take pity on these forlorn, buttonless wretches, and not forget that if they go unmarried another three years, it will be theirs to answer for, Common coquetries and setting of caps won't do, It is a right up and doing business, and the old blades not only expect to be asked, but they are waiting for it with the greatest anxiety and impatience. If there are acy bacheJcrs Mi in this com- J ; niunity on thc first of~ January, 1869, it is easy to see whose fault it would be. -? ? Texas Eloquence? Legislative oratory is sure to gush on the occasion of the decease of some mem ber of the Legislative body; though the speeches, as Byron says, may be said to present "A fine sample, on the whole, Of rhetoric, whioh thelearn'ucaH 'rigmarole.'" As a superior specimen of this u studied impropriety of speech," wc have been favored by a friend with tho following tribute to the memory of the late Colo nel Yell, of Texas, delivered by a dis tinguished colleague from one of the border districts'?f that State. For free dom and breadth of style it can hardly be surpassed : "Mr. Speaker,-It becomes my mel anchorly duty to announce to the mem bers of this yer body that Andrew Jack son Yell, of Yellville, a member of this house, is no more. He has fell a victim to the grim and destroyiug tyrant, Death, who yesterday evening-put an end to his mortal career ; and he now lies lifeless at the pleasant boarding-house of Mrs. Jones, on the hill, where ho and many other members of this yer House has boarded session after session-and Where, through out his lengthy and consequently pro tracted typhus-fever he received every care and atteptkm which that ar kind hearted woman and her numerous and attentive help could bestow. But, alas ! all her care and kindness was of no avail. Colonel Yell is gone from among us, and it has become my melancholy duty to offer the customory resolutions on this occasion, which I hev taken the opportu nity to draft out last night, while settin' up with the body, lt ain't with no or'nary fcelin's of grief, Mr. Speaker, that I make this yer communication to tins yer hon orable body ; for 1 knowed the deseased in particular, Mr. Speaker, and knowed him clean through, I might say, from Alphy to Izzard. There may be men, mean enough to come forward, now he's gone from among us, and allude to his faults of kerricte"r-for, like all other men, he had his faults, and who ain't got 'em ? There maj bp men ii) this yer body mean enough, I say, out of pure cussedness, to fetch np the failings of the deseased, but I, at least, ain't; ago?n' to be one of 'em. I know there was some things that might be norated agin him. He may hev ben slightly addicted to whisky ; but then, Mr. Speaker, there's others in this House that could drink him blind drunk afore breakfast, and they know it. He may hev been quick to use hisshootin' tools, but then never draw'd a weeper on a man if he wasn't mad ! They may say he didn't pay his debts-who in Texas Joes, Mr. Speaker? And, agin, they may tell you that he frolicked con xideralle. Well, all 1 licv to say about that is, who in-don't Mr. Speaker? I put it to you. Sir, and to this august body to answer that p'int. Whoever in this House, at least, is without fault in this respect, let him, as the Scripter ob serves, be the first to shy a considerable sized rock on to his memory-or words to that elfect; I don't reek'lect the pre cise terms of the passage. Among his ninny viitoos, Mr. Speaker, our departed friend wa? a devoted admirer of that no ble aili mil the hoss, conscientiously atend i?' every race-track within forty miles of this yer place, and backlit9 his opinion onto onpejtjn PYjwts, jn the future to thu extent of his ability, and sometimes be yond it, in the extensivest and most gen tlemanly manner ! Ile was also au ac tive member o? the Eugine Company, and often good at (ires. In short, he was a good citizen, an honest man, and a per fect gentleman. In his incloncholy de sease society has lost one of its brightest ornaments, and a gloom is cast over our whole community, l;?it more pspeci:)lly over the domestic circle of Mrs. .lonesV. boarding-house, where the eligible room which he occupied, and in which, I said before, he received every care and atten tion from that estimable lady, is now, a'.fts ! vacant for thc balance of the sea son-" "Mr. Speaker [a member of the Op position here interrupts,] 1 rise to a p'int of order." The Speaker requested Mr. Slaken to stale his p'int. " I want Wi know, afr. Speaker, if it is. in order for any mimi be).1 of tljis yer House, in his speech onto the memory of a dead mau, to ring in a boardinghouse, kep' by his aunt, and famished by him self, on skeers? lt. may ne parliamen tary and all right, but 1 don't see it!" The Speaker, with a wi; hering glance at Slaken, decided the p'int to be not well tilden. "Ah! this ia inc, c?>l!;?rr? .} occasion, Mr. Speaker, fur me to take notioe of any sieh imperdetice and ?ide remarks as that air ! 1 fully expected some infamous hyena would be out here to-day, howlin1 round the grave of our departed friend, f.>amiu' at the mouth, gnashing his tooth less jaws, and dioolin" out his ineffectual and impotent rage. Wirb his hide cov ered all over with welts, all sore and dis gustin' from the last and the hot poker of terre win, which his insolence has brought upon l)im pretty much every day dunn' this session, he ?oils pypy ?ind over, and bites and tears and soils himself, till , he becomes justly offensive to every eye in this House. I'll sec that his goose is cooked for him hereafter, suitable, and that not on no meloncholy occasion nulh er. To rename the deseased : Whatever kin be said of him by friends or enemies, nr. mst) at least kin deny that he wasn't a patriot. Look bftefc fjt hjs political re cord, Mr. Speaker, and see what's thar ! for, as the poet Watts feelingly remarks. ' By their record shall ye know mc.' Mr. Speaker, what is that record ? Virtue is its own reward,' Mr. Speak pr ; and no grept aotipfj was ever done in thc world but what thc man that done it wus Iw^'d and yelped after by somebody. Uut the deseased. intrenched itt the galorious ar mor of patriotism, with his hand on this yer record, could look the Amerikin eagle proudly in the eye, and defy chain-light ning in any shape or from whatever quar ter it might come ; ami when prostrate and emaciated, he died at last on his pros trate bed r,t Ifle pleasant boardinghouse of Mrs. Jones, on the iii ll, rhp thoughts of this 'ere armor, and of that ar record of hi?\?, come to his wounded sensibili ties like a heavenly angel, and even Death himself couldn't set lim kal/ a turn back. 1 close this afilicting duty, Mr. Speaker, by moving that a committee of this House be appointed to rep01'1, these resolutions on the deseased, and to atetjd bj* funeral, and that Leonidas Blizard, of Athens, be the chairman of said committee - at the same time remarking that the gorgeous heavens has now opened to receive his mortal spirit, and that his earthly remains will be buried at three o'clock to-morrow afternoon, sharp, from the pleasant board in'.-house cf J^frs. Jones, on the'hill, where, under the late rulin' of the Speaker, I deem it eminently proper for me to re mark, and I do it emphatic ino matter ( whofie esma is iro? on,) that Nie eligible I room which he occupied Js^wunfortun ately vacant, and will doubtless bc let to any other, member of this ?House, very reasonable, for the balance the ensuing season.-PEACE BE TO HIS ABHES." DECIDEDLV COOL.-A Russian soldier recently, whilst enjoying himself at a rustic ball in one of the Polish, villages, boasted that he could put a bullet through a man's hat at one bundi ed paces without touching his head. ? peasant accepted the wager, but in order to foil the marks man, squeezed his hat so low down over his eyes that the ball went through hat and bead both, and left him a corpse on the ground. The soldier was sentenced to a month's imprisonment for homicide by imprudence, but he appealed against his sentence, alleging that the fault lay with the peasant, and offering at the same time to repeat thc experiment with the Judge, providing the latter did not " bon net" himself so completely. It is not stated whether the learned functionary accepted the soldier's very liberal offer. ? -?- ? AN ANECDOTE OF DEAN SWIFT.-The eccentric Dean Swift was walking in the Phoenix road, Dublin, when a thunder shower came on, and he took shelter un der a tree, where a party was sheltering also, two young women and two young men. One of the girls looked very id, till, as the rain fell, her tears fell. The Dean inquired the cause, and learned that it was their wedding day ; they were on their way to church, and now her white clothes were wet and she couldn't go. " Never mind, I'll marry you," said the Dean ; and took out his prayer-book and there and then married them, their wit nesses being present, and to make the thing complete he tore a leaf from his pocket book, and with his pencil w,rore and signed a certificate' which he handed to the bride. It was as follows: Under a tree, in stormy weather, I married this maa and woman together. Let none but Him who rules tho thunder, Sever this man and woman asunder. JONATHAN SWIFT, . Dean of "St. Patrick's. HEAR WITH THE LITTLE ONES.-Chil dren arc certainly very troublesome at times in asking questions, and should Without doubt, be taught not to interrupt conversation in company. But this reso lution made, we question thc policy of withholding an answer at any time from the active mind which must find so many daily and hourly mysteries. They who have either learned to solve these mys teries, or have become indifferent as to an explanation, are not apt to look com passionately enough upon this eager rest lessness on the part of children to pene trate causes and trace effect. By giving due attention-to those "troublesome ques tions," a chi'Vs truest education may bc carried on. -? -? A TorcHiNO INCIDENT.-Sonic gentle men passing through the beautiful village of Henton, in the vale of Leven, Dum bartonshire, about nine o'clock at night, :i few days ago had their attention directed to a dark object in the church-yard. On going to ascertain what it was, they found a boy of tender years lying flat on his face, and apparently sound asleep, over a newly made grave. Thinkiug this not a very safe bed for him, they shook hun up and asked bim how he came to be there? He said bc was afraid to go home, as his sister, with whom he resided, had threat ened to beat him. "And where does your sister live?" asked one of thc party. "In Dumbarton," was the answer. "In Dumbarton-nearly four miles off, and bow caine you to wander so far away from home?" '* I just came," sobbed the poor little fellow, " because my mother'? grave was here." His mother Ind been buried there a short time before, and his seeking refuge at her grave in hiv sorrow, was a beautiful buuel) of nalino in a ehilu who could scarcely liavn yet learned to realige the true character of that separa tion which knows ol' no re-union tm earth. Thither had he instinctively wandered to sob out his sorrows, and to moisten with tears the grave of one who had hitherto been his natural protector, for he had evi dently cried himself to sleep.-North British Hali; IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF STOCK.
