"Florence 1" cried Jessie Lawson burst ing into her cousin's boudoir, one morn ing?"Florence Emerson, Harry says you are engaged to George Langfurd 1" "Well, cousin, if I were, have you any objections?," "Objections! Why, Floy, he is old enough"? ?'Just thirty-nine, couBin Jessie." "Thirty nine! and a widower with two children! But it is a mistake of Harry's; you are not really going to marry him, are.you!" "1 expect so," said Florenco quiet." "Well I give you up. You, Florence Emerson, the belle of the season, with-a large fortune ; you, the beauty and heir ess, with lovors, biaux, offers without cud or number, to throw you reel f away upon a poor widower with two children, and no fortune except in his profession. Oh! Floy, I thought you had more sense. What are you thinking of?" "Why, Jessie, you are wasting your eloquence, George Langford is hand Some 1" "Granted." "Talented!" "Granted, again." "He loves me!" "So do fifty others." ' "Aud, lust of all, my. strongest argu ment, I love him !'? ? "Well, I suppose vou^ will marry him in spite of my disapproval, so I wish you joy, and hope he'll never hold up Mrs. Langford first as pattern to Mrs. Lang ford second." "If Mrs. Langford first was a model forme, I would follow in her footsteps." "Well, well, there's one comfort. Wil lie and Edith are very pretty children, aud too young to rebel at a new mamma, I believe. How old are they exactly, Floy?" "Willie is four, Edith three." "Keep you busy, the care of two such babies." I' Florenco Emerson and Jessie Lawson were cousins, and had, until Jessie s mar j riage beeu almost like sisters. Jessie, who was two years the elder, was a gay, lively blonde, vain, and pretty. Flor ence was a tall, stately beauty, with large dark eyes, black hair, aud features like a Greek statue. She was an orphan, and as Jessie said an heiress. George Langford was a lawyer of some standing. Handsome, talented, but grave and quiet in his manners ; devoted ly attached to Florence, but he was thir ty-nine, and a widower ! Jessie's senti ments, were echoed by all Florence's cir cle of friends when her engagement was known. She, so beautiful, young, talent ed, and wealthy! She always was differ ent from other girls, they said. So, after a lew days, the maoer censed to be dis cussed, and some new wonder of the fash ionublc work took its place. Florence had been married just two years, when it becanv necessary for Mr. Lnngdou to go to Paris ; his stay was to be very short, so he concluded not to take Florence. She was fond of home, had won the love of both children, and in re turn loved them fondly, and with their society, her homo duties, and a promised visit to Jessie, thought the time of her husband's absence might be made to pass pleasantly. But when the hour of depar ture came, when his trunk stood waiting in the hall, and ho came to nay farewell, liie whole aspect of things seemed chan ged. Florence felt that her dearest treasure was leaving her; all looked dark, and a vogue presentiment of evil filled her soul. "Why, Florence you are white as a corpse," cried George, in a frightened tone. "I thought you had arranged gay etics without number to occupy you while your grave old husband was away.? Cheer up, Fl6y; I shall be gone ouly a short time.-" "Oh, George, I did not realize it till noft. tVhat can t do without you ?" "You will visit Jessie, take Willie and j jL/diih ,m\. tuft ??tf?vt'jr, ??d????U?Oll, I you-had a whole Met of pleasure arran ged. The carriage is here, <&bd-bye,' Florence." > nd f\m Florence tried to speak, hut the words died on her lipjo. i She grasped his hand, and while her eyes filled with tears, and ;tboa' Aet'^hjb^j^ x ^ . n * , ' AU her pleasures were forgotten as she watched the carriage rolling from the door, and she only remembored how lone ly she Would be without him ; she looked back upon two years of such perfect hap piness that it seemed less like reality than a pleasant dream. Long she stood at the window watching, as if she expected him to return, but the voices of the children aroused her, and she stifled ?her own grief and went to amuse and comfort them.? Willie thought papa was "real unkind" not to take them; width Edith clung close to Florence, and hoped papa would lie safe on the "deep water." Jessie Lawson and Florence Langford were seated in the piazza of the pleasant country house they had hired for tbc season, conversing. Edith and Willie were romping with Rover on the grass, while ever and anon their clear, joyous laughter would make the ladies turn and smile. . "I forgive you now, Floy, for marrying George," said Jessie, fondly. "I think that, if he had asked me,'and could have have looked into the future, I should have done as you did." At that instant, Jessie felt a hand laid on her shoulder, and, lookiug up, saw her husband; his face was very grave, and his whole mauncr betokened that some thing serious hud troubled him. "J$saie,v?h?suidj.in;}* low tone-, "como into the parlor ; I want to speak with you." "He is jealous," whispered Jessie to Florence as she rose to obey. "Now for a matrimonial lecture." "Close tbe door Jessie," said Henry, when they entered the parlor. "I do not^ wish Florence to hear what I have to say" now. Poor Floy 1 we must break it gent ly to her!" "Why, Harry, what is the matter George." "Yes. The Eagle, the vessel he sailed in, was wrecked, and but few escaped ; a vessel going to Calcutta took a few of the passengers, but the rest were lost*.? George Langford's name is among the missing 1" Harry had forgotten tho open window, and was startled to see Florence now standing in front of it. She was cold aud palo as marble, her hands were tightly, clenched, her teeth set, und her whole frame rigid and motionless. Harry sprang to her side, and took her ham! to lead her in. The touch broke her stupor hud, with a slight shudder, she fell fainl ing to the ground. For Weeks. Florence Langford lay be tween life aud death ; fever and delirium succeeded her death like trauce, and her life was despaired of. A strong consti tution, however, triumphed, and she re covered ; but oh, how altered! The pale, thin face, seen now under a close widow's cap, was so wan and sad. that few would have fecognited tho once blooming Flo rence. Her sole co.ufort, now, seemed to lie in the children, his cbildreu She would hardly allow them out of her sight, and her whole time wus spent in instructing and amusing them. Florence Langford had been a widow ju8tone }cnr. It was n bright summer's day, and she sat in the same little parlor where she had first heard of her husband's loss. Willie anu Edith were seated on the floor beside her, blowing soap bubbles. Florenco sat watching their innocent delight as tbc sun shone on the pretty globes, and reflected prismatic colors in them, and thdU her thoughts flew back over the last three years, sad der and sadder grew t'te pale face, until Willie noticed it, and leaving his play, went softly to her side; Euith kuelt be side him, with her faee laid caressingly. ngniust Florence's baud. "Tell us about papa," whispered Wil lie. "When is papa coming back ?" asked Edith. "He Htays ?o long." "Hush, Edith/,' aSid Willie, "Papa can never come back, he is dead." But Edith shook her head. She had alv?yi lu?iut?i??U that, As papa went away jn h carriage, and said he would , and bring them pretty .toys ? ?is, he ^oj^^M^gK^ ui-stit \ euec.drq\f EdjCh un?n?rMap, andj - 'ing.her arm round Willie the three i ttbd?t papa ratlin hour;' VbW | longer tney would bave remained j in-j&att position I cannot :telL ^Jessie interrupted them ; her whole - face "was beapaiug with joy. "*jFloy 1" she. whispered, kneeling on the stool at her cousin's feet, and untying her cap,l' "take this off for a minute/' "Why, Jessie?" asked Florence,suffer ing her to remove it. ^Because it is stiff and unbecoming," said Jessie, who was loosening Floy's hnjr, and twisting it over her fingers into old curls. "You must never wear it again." "Dear Jessie, give it back tome. IJ shall alwavs wear it." "But I say you shall never put on again Dear. Florence, a widow's cap is uc?dlcss qgw I" '* "Jessie," cried Florence;4 starting up, and looking eagerly into her cbnsin's face, while she trembled violently, "what dovou mean ?" : yCan you bear the best of news, Floy ?'r sa\d Jessie, soft 1 v. ."George"-;? 'Bessie io answer, threw open the door aud said, gayly : "Come in," and in an other moment, Florence was in her hus band's arms, and the two children were looking in a kind of joyful astonishment at their father. All was soon explained. George Lang ford had been among tho passengers ta ken to Calcutta, und had from some mis take of the reporters, been put in the list olHhe missipg... Colo and exposure had brought on au attack qf brain lever, anu he*had been very ill. As soon as he was able, he had started for home, . bu,t '{he, voyage had taken several' nionths ; and after reaching England, he was detained some days ^^^oi'O^toajr^ujg-for America. Be was there at tasT^tna a liappief party never met than the one that evening at Oak Lodge, Mr. Lawsou's country seat. A Gallant Soldier. The Ldgefield Advertiser gives the following incident of the lute war. It wus a noble acknowledgement by & gal lant soldier of his appreciation of tho bravery of a minister of the gospel. "During Longstreet's campaign, in Tennessee, while a portion of his army was under a fearful fire.of shells from the enemy at Campbells Station, a pri vate soldier, within a few feet of the Col onel of his regiment, had both his leg? I torn off. The regiment was not fighting but wailing orders. The wounded man was lilted a couple of yards in the rear, to die. Another private now marched doftu the line under a hail of missiles, aud said to the commanding officer, "Colonel, may I have a few moments of j prayer with that dying mau? The Colo nel said, "Are you a clergyman." The private answered, "I am." "Then," said the Colonel, do as you desire." And the man of God knelt and prayed with and for tho dying man five or ten minutes, without moving or swaying his body seemingly totally unconscious of a storm of shot and shell, which, the Colonel tells us, he never saw sur|)hssed in fury. In a few days the praying private was an nounced iu field orders as Chaplain of the regiment?"promoted* for gallantry and piety on the field." Tho regiment was the Hampton Leijion. The Colonel was Gary. The private soldier was tho Rev. W. M. Thomas, now pastor of the Methodist Churches of our circuit. The Teaching of Grammer not Al lowed. "I have been send in* my darter Nancy to skool, and last Friday I went over to the skool to see how she was gettin' along, and I seed things I didn't like by no means. The skool-master was larniu' her things entirely out of the line of ed j^dycation, and, as I think, improper. I set awhile in the skool house, an' hecrcd one class say their lesson. The lesson that Nancy sed was mithin' but the fool ishest kind of talk; the ridiclist word she said was 'I love.' I looked right at her for coin' so improper', but she went right on and sed, 'Thou lovest, and he loves.* And I recon you never heered rMcb rig maroio in your life?love, love, love und mithin' but lor#. She red one time, 'I dW.tovfr Sea I, 'Who did you love?) p?t? -ofe^A?fl^Bed; 'Whfc-did ' you love, N?hcy?r iThe t?kool' rhostei' b&v$ he would explain when Nancy had finished -e lesspn.r This sorter pacyfied mo, and.

' ' w^mtf ? A Word for thk Wife.?-There is much good sense and truth in the remark of a modern author, that no man ever prospered in the world''Without the cot operation of his wile. If she unites in mutual endeavors, or rewards his labors With an endearing smile, witn tfiiat' con fidence will he'rciort to his merchandize, or his farm; fly over lands, sail over seas, meet difficulty and encounter danger, if he only knows that he is not spending his strengh in vaiu, but that his .labors will be reWaVdt-d by the sweets of home. Solitude aud disappointment enter the history of every man's life ; aud he is" but half provided for his voyage Who finds' but an associate- for his happy hours, while for months of darkness, no sympa thizing partner is prepared. "Killed by kindness" is a phrase which has just been luridly illustrated by sta tistics in England. Who whould have believed, save upon the authority of the great Dr. Laukester, the London ooro ner^ihat not leas than 3,000 tender in fants are annually smothered to death by their mothers who fall asleep in bed while nursing their tender pledges ? Unfortu nately, mothers involuntarily kill their children in a great many other ways?by absurd indulgence in diet, by foolish ex posure iu dressing, and through utter ig norance of the laws of the human sys tem. The only wonder is that the race/ or at least the so-called civilized portion of it, was not long ago exterminated. Babies are called tender?it strikes us that they are remarkably tough. The Newark Gazette says: ''A friend of ours, who suffered horrible pains from neuralgia, hearing of a noted physician in Germany who invariably cured the disease, crossed the ocean, and visited Germany for treatment.* He was perma nently cured aller a short sojourn, and the doctor freely gave him the simple remedy used, which was nothing but a poultice aud tea made from our common field thistle. Tho leaves are macerated and used on the parts affiicted, as a poultice, while a small quantity of the leaves are boiled down to the proportion of a quart to a pint, and a small wine glass of the decoction drauk before each meal. Our fiicud sajs he has never known it to fail of giving relief, while in almost every case it has effected a euro." Patent Rights.?Some of tho lesser States of tho German Empire have abol ished the system of issuing exclusive right to inventors lor the use of their patents for a term of years, on the ground that its effect was to take from the pockets of tho people, without beuefitting skilled artisans or the laboring classes, largo sums of money. In other words, it is hold that the patent system extorts money from the many for the benefit of the few. The Washington Republican states that ft similar scheme for the adoption of our patcut system has been talked of, aud will probably bo presented at the next Congress.
