TEN YEARS OF WAITING. A IjOVK BTORT. I “Wcli^ fifty years ago,” said Aunt Bell, “I was a girl of sixteen and was invited to sj>end the summer months with my aunt, who then bad one of the finest houses in the county of Kildare. Several regiments were stationed at the camp and at a neighboring village, so you may imagine we had a very merry time. The maddest, the merriest, the handsomest of ail, was a young Scotch lieutenant, Kiuloch Kiuloch. HLs mother was Irish, and had bequeathed her good looks and proi>ensity for jok ing. And now for Kitty, the heroine. She was the daughter of an old gardener who Jived at)Out a mile away from my aunt’s house, and of all the distracting- ly pretty women that hare made men do foolish things, I am sure Kitty was one of the prettiest. “One day, as a large party of us were standing chattering under the trees, Kitty passed us with a basket of fruit. “Kinloch for the first time noticed the jirl, .recced store* dmnb trifh amazement. “Ho stood at a little distance and kept his eyes fixed on her. “It was love from that very moment, and every one noticed it. “Kinloch’s regiment had been ordered away to another part of Ireland; and one morning, a few days before he was to go, wo lagged for his company to a picnic we had arranged to have with one or two other families. He declined to go with us. “ ‘He has got his lady-love to bid good-by to, I daresay,’ suggested Philip Grant. J — “Kinloch turned on him with blazing eyes. We all kept back. They were like glol>e6 of fire. “‘Confound it, air 1’ he cried, ‘and suppose I have ! what is that to you ?’ “We all looked at Philip; he wae very white, but he shrngged his shoulders indifferently, and wisely forbore to answer. “Kinloch’s temper cooled down as rapidly as it had arisen. “ ‘I am sorry to dissspoint you girls,’ he said, gently, ‘but you will have to etense me.’ And, bowing, he walked off. “That evening Kinloch made his way to the old gardener’s cottage. His face was pale, but he had a determined look in the comers of his mouth, and he car ried his head wall thrown back and stepped lightly along. “The girl had just cat bar father’s supper before him, and had gone out to rest in the garden and watch the still beauties of the night. “The air was fresh, and in the heavens the fall moon was hurrying through its star-spangled course. The reads in a neighboring stream rustled and shivered in the breeze, and a large night-moth or two came sailing up and bumped against Kitty’s white kerchief on their way to the fatal candle shining in the window. “The girl looked up to the sky ami tears filled her eyes. “‘Why do yon weep, Kitty?’said a voice at her side. “No need to turn to look for the speaker! The girl buried her face in her hands and sobbed afresh. “ ‘You are going away,’ she said. “ ‘Yos, I am going away,’ said Kin loch; ‘but yon will como with me, Kitty, for you love me.’ “ ‘I love you, but I shall not aooon pany you.’ “ ‘But you must. I have spoken to the old priest and he is ready to marry ns.’ * t “ ‘Ktnloeh,’ she said, looking up into his face with a sweet, serious smile, ‘you have made me love you, for I could not help it; but yon oannnot make me marry you.’ . „ “ ‘Oh, but you will, darling, won’t yon, Kitty?’ he went on, eagerly. ‘You know I can marry now, because I came of age the other day, and I have much more than my pay now. la that what yon are thinking of V “‘How oould I think about that? Why will yon not understand, Kinloch ? onr proud old father and your silver- stately mother, how oould they for one of their sons to marry an h jpeasant girl ?' ‘You bars nothing to team from the lady in the land, my darting, ha said, fondly; ‘and younger mm an ppt expected to marry But she shook her head reaolutely. ‘And this is how you lightly fling sway a man’s happiness for lift f “ ‘A few days’ pain now, to aaive you yean of regret in the future.’ “The young man looked at the girl perplexed. Where could she have learned such sentiments ?—where had she gained the strength to express them so freely ? “He then said, slowly and solemnly, as if taking an oath; ‘Look yonder, Kitty 1 That is the evening star. So lureiy wITWill ridfSr tarthr ImTHOB five, ten or twenty years, as surely will my love remain unchanged for you. Bid me oome back when you will, Kitty^ and if I have breath in my body and strength to do if, I will oome.’ “ ‘Come back in ten years, Kinloch. I will be true to yon, and wait till then. I will try and improve myself—make myself more worthy of your love. ’ “ ‘Keep as you are, Kitty—remain unchanged,’ said the young man jeal- Ihflffi l, OPme again_I shall •lot see in you the last look I took away with me, my life, my love I’ he mur mured, passionately; and kissing her sweet brow and month, folding her in one last embrace, he sighed and left her. *- “She turned to go into the cottage. A large downy moth which had been bumping against the little window sailed in before her, circled thrice round the candle and flew up iato its alluring brightness. The candle flickered and went out; the moth dropped down with a thud upon the table, dead. “Kitty, with eyes blinded by tears and with shaking hands, relit, though some what tartiily, the light. “ ‘Kitty, my girl,’ said the old man, pointing significantly to the singed in sect, ‘don’t be as foolish as that silly thing. Its eyes were dazzled, and it had no strength to resist the fatal fasci nation.’ “ ‘Father,’ said the girl, stooping down snd kissing hit gray locks, ‘you may trust me. ’ ” * Perr Afrcn 1 .5W.’ s-Ajpi**!. “Is it interesting. Shall I go on?” “Oh, do ! Did he oome back ?” said her niece. "Well, the years passed on, and the girl was joked and teased, and had many , offers of marriage; but she was firm nnd would listen to none. “At last the young fellows grew weary of their fruitless attempts at love-mak ing and the greater part left her alone. “A few, more unkind, would ask when she expected her young gentleman home, and taunted _ her in cutting speeches and insinuations. “Nine years went by, and then there came the battle of Waterloo, when offi cers and men went down in hundreds tc gether. “Still no word from Kinloch, and Kitty's heart, which had never failed in its lightness, nor her step in its speed, now sank and faltered for the first time. “Early in the next year—in fact, on New Year’s night—the officers gave a ball, and every girl and young man for miles around was invited. “Girls were in great demand, and I went down to my aunt’s house especiklly for that night. “I was anxious to see Kitty myeelf, and to find out how the years had passed over her head. “You think, parbapa, twenty-six was rather old to be called a girl—do you, Kitty? “Wall, I fait absent the same aa I did when I was sixteen, and quite aa randy to enjoy k dance or flirtation, I oan at sure you. “Kate Daly—that waa her ns—e want to help the ladies unshawl than- selves, and to be ready with needle and thread when an unhappy damsel with torn skirt or flounce should require her mistanoe. “She wae then twenty-eight, and the young girlish beauty had developed into the moat lovely of women. Only whan her face wae at rest, and yon caught the suspicion of an anxious heart upon it would you have guessed her age. “She wore a pale tea-rose-tin ted gown, with ruffles of lace Of her own making at the neck and sleeves. “It was a wild and stormy night with out, but it only served to enhance the brightness and animation of the scene within. “The dancing of the high-heeled shoes and the silvery laughter rose higher than the wail of the wind, and tho tinkling wine-cups drowned all sound of rain. “Suddenly there wae a lull; we stopped in our dances; a chill blast seemed to have entered the room; we turned and saw a silent, dark figure standing in the doorway. “He was tall an£ handsome, but his large black cloak, carefully slung over his shoulder, was dripping with the rain and making large pools on the floor. His legs, booted and spurred, were mud up to the hips. “Just at that moment the dock struck 12, and the year 1816 had broken. Some of the more excitable girls screamed and ran behind their partners. “Waa it an apparition ? Was it ah ill omen for the coming yew ? ,. } “ 'I seem to frighten yon good people. Does nobody know me ?’ y “Kitty at that moment was bringing in a jug of ieed claret at another door. “She heard the voice and tuned round, trembling, witlj a wild ary, ‘Kin- loeh, Kinloch, I knew you would earne back I’ And amid a crash of breaking glass—for she let the veasel slip from her hands--she bounded to his side and then disappeared in the folds of the great cloak.” “How splendid, Aunt Bell 1” said her niece, drawing a deep breath; “but if she married him then, I do not see why she should not have done so before.” “Ah, bnt she was s wise girl, little eon- her~ A young man’s love at twenty-one (as she knew very well) would not be his choice at thirty-one.’’ “What became of them, Aunt ?” “Oh, they married and traveled about a good deal, and finally both died out in India within a few months of each other. There was one son, and I believe he is in the army also.” WBERK IH THE AnnitT Before tho French revolution there KKLATITU TAI.rB AMO “ThAt days,” amid a the Wall -street of them Mr. Beecher — he —ad his text Bonday, commenting upon the passage, “Aad he fell amoog thieves.” The sermon treated the relative value of generosity and liberality.

They were without office or duty, and picked up, as they were poor, a meal here and there, among the charit able. At the houses of the principal nobleman there was usually a plate left for some chance ubbe who might drop in at dinner time. At that hour it was no uncommon sight to see the ablies picking their way from one nobleman’s house to another. Rapping at the gate, the hungry eccle siastic would inquire of the reporter, “ Is there a vacant place ?” If tho answer was “ No, monsieur,” he would walk ouward. This custom will explain a story told by Rogers, the jioet, which illustrates the horrors of tho French Revolution. Just after it hail broken out, a party was dining, one day, at a nobleman's house, ami among them an abbe. While at dinner, the cart carrying those condemned to the guillotine went by.

The abbe returned the salu tation. “What! you are his friend ?” exclaimed one of the guards. “Then you, too, are an aristocrat” “ Away with him 1” shouted the crowd, and the poor abbe was seized, thrust into the cart, and harried to the guillotine. The company, having satisfied their curiosity, returned to the table. “ Where is monsieur, the abbe V asked s guest, seeing s vacant place. No one oould answer. He was already headless. Youth'* Companion, THE MONITOR* CItiw. Ns Prise atsssv Isr Then-Rat Asv At at tire(stsi necessities. A sub-committee of the House commit tee on Naval Affairs reported to the full committee s bill providing for the appro priation' of the 1400,000 lor the relief of the officers and crews of the United States sloop of war Camber land snd United States steamer Monitor, engaged in ac tion with the Confederate steamer Mer- rimac, in Hampton Roads, on ttveh 8 and 9, 1862. Representative Harmer, of Pennsylvania, who prepared the bill, in hie report accompanying it says: “The committee, after careful investi gation of the law and the facts in these oases, has been unable to find any au thority for the payment of prise money in either of them. * • • The evi dence shows that the Merrimao was neither captured nor destroyed by either of these vessels and the dahn to prise money must be rejected. But while this is true the evidence presented to the committee abundantly proves the most oonspieuoas gallantry and devoted pa triotism, as well as extraordinary ser vices rendered by the officers and crews of these ships, which, in the opinion of yonr committee, entitles them to s gen erous and grateful recognition by the country.” Katz Fikt,d is very angry at Felt, % Mormon elder. He pnoe told her, in Boston, that no Mormon practiced polygamy without the consent of the first wife that women did not object to polygamy, and that polygamous families were filled with the spirit of peace. She finds, on visiting Balt Lake City, that his matrimonial career is not proof of happiness incidental to celestial marriage. She declares that when he said that women never complained of polygamy and lived harmoniously in it, he quite forgot his mother’s experience, that of his father’s plural wives, and lost sight of his own second wife's broken spirit. Snrou the introduction of the lawn- mower the lawn has oome to be regarded as the great feature of a garden.

Every officer and man ou He assistance, but in consequence of very heavy sea running at the time commanding officer did not deem it to send s boat away from the ship, was of the opinion that no boat could possibly live in such a sea. He was im portuned so much, however, by the offi ce rs that he finally consented, and a vol unteer boat’s crew was picked out and a senior lieutenant, a careful and excellent officer, was sent in charge. When the boat reached the disabled teaser; which proved to be an Austrian bark, it was found impossible to board her,owing to the large quantity of span- rigging and other debris by which she was surrounded. Had the boat got tan among this litter she would undoubtedly have been smashed to pieces and the crew drowned. Disednraged, the lieu tenant returned to his vessel and report ed his inability to do anything to save the unfortunate creatures ou the sinking ship Ensign Reynolds, who was the young est officer on board, than volunteered to make the attempt The captain told him that it was impossible for him to succeed where an experienced officer had failed, bnt the young man pleaded so hard snd so earnestly that permission was at last granted. The ensign found the same state of affairs as his superior officer had reported, but determined to overcome the obstacles. Keeping the boat at a safe distance he stripped off hie clothes and swam to the wreck with the end of a line.
