St. Valentine's Day. I ADDKB8SFJ> TO A HCSBAXB. It seems a fow briei years, dearest. Since we resolved together, With Joinod hands to journey on, No matter what the weather. Tou then wero strong iu manhood's prime And I a r ^y maiden. Ne'er dreann:.g that the tuturo might With sorrow be o'erloden. Disease soon sought mo for its prey, Bui you were hopeful ever That help would come, and health roturu j To bless each lond endeavor. Wealth smiled on us lor time awhile, With all its goldeu gleaming; Hut death took dear ones from us l>oth And checked our blissful dreaming. Kftrth nncn ro bricht. crew dark with tears ?" And we forgot cash blessing? ? Forgot that tiny Angers solt Our levered hands wero pressing; But baby eyes looked in our own, And lisping words were spoken; We turned us back to lite agaiu, j To cherish each love-token. Time sped on wings, and wealtD- sped, too, ' Never ugain returning; The stroke was hard tor both to bear And dim hope's lamp was burning. We struggled on, are struggling still. But fortune seP as oontrary; i Each ellort tnada is haunted by Somo stubborn, wickwl Jairy; Rut then our love has stronger grown, Our patience more abiding, Four rooro dai* eve? look np to us, So gentle ajwconflding. Wo 'most lorjret that we are (>oor, With all our darlings near us, We're rich while sailing down lilo's stream. j If they are spared to cheer us! ? Your Jtnr.it. I AN EFFECTIVE CURE, j I said I would go, and he said I should not. I was proud and hot-tempeied, j with a honor of beinz domineered over, i and I insisted tbat I had some rights ! which the m.m I was engaged to was j bound to respect, and, as I had prom-! ised, I must go. Therefore, when even ing arrived and an old friend came to escort me to the house of a mutual acquaintance, I left with him. and did not stop to think whether I would , havt my lover act as I was doing or! not. I was older by three years than my j equally hot-tempered betrothed, and in vexed questions invariably settled the dispute in my own favor by waving the ! flag of tMiores prwre over his head, a proceeding which silenced if it did not! convince him. He loved me, I believe. Yes, he did, with all the passion and fervor of a jeal- I ous boy in his first real love, and I? I well, I think I was equally foolish; even ] my three years of seniority did not save me from pleading guilty to the soft im- i peachment. We had been but an hour j at the house we were visiting when a ; furious ring at the door-bell caused my 1 heart to quicken its pulsations. A servant appeared at the parlor door, saying my little sister wished to speak to me. 1 Hsked the hostess to excuse me, and descended, wondering at this unusual call. " Inez." said my sister, breathlessly, j " Felix is here." "Where?" I interrupted, looking around. Uutside," she said, "lie wont come in, and he says you must come home with him now, immediately, or else?" she stopped and smiled. "I told i him that you would not do it: that the j people in the house would make fun of you both, but he insisted on my coming | and telling you." Another pause to ' take breath, after which she added timidly: "If you do not come home j now, he says you can consider all over | ? between you!" Surprise and indignation found vent j in one pithy sentence neither choice nor j decant. "He must ba crazy!" I said. ' " Does he show his affection in wanting i me to become the laughing stock of j these people? Go and tell him that I shall see him in the morning, and to stay home quietly this evening and support my absence; I came here because I promised to spend the evening, and h? knows of .old that T never break my word when I give it." I turned and went up-staire again. To the inquiries of my hostess. 1 replied that it was nothing at all; my : Hister forgot to ask me something and wanted to know it then?nothing more." Clifford, my old friend and escort, looked at my heightened color and nervous manner, and intimated by a look that if that were all it was very little to cause my ill-concealed perturbation. My sister had retired when I get home, but after a shake or two I manaired to make her comprehend my question. >veii. wnai aia *enx say.'" "Oh," .she answered, becoming wide awake at once, her eyes distending to twice their natural size, " how angry he was! Actually I was afraid; he set his teeth?you know how he does it?and his eye* shone?oh!" (this last "oh" ion? drawn out, expressive ?f the forcible impression his anger nad made upon her). ** J)id h* say that he would come tomorrow?" " Indeed lie did not," was the reply, in a positive tone, and then, sleep'Uy, 1 wish you (x?uld have seen him. She turned on her side, and in a minute f her regular quiet breathing gave note of her return to Morphens's arms. 1 belk-ve I foolishly lav awake for an * hour or so, but being of a sanguine emperament and "Having much confidence in my coaxing ways"?that is what mother says?I finally fell into a quiet slumber. I waited for Keiix the next morningHe did not come, however, and at about noon I put rnv pride in my pocket and started to visit his sister, witk whom he lived (his mother was dead). My anxiety watt not allayed on hearing that he had not been home all night, and I be- | came seriously .alarmed. He had never stayed out before since he had known m!inH wa Hiil r?r\t VnAtr nrliof Atliml* Even while I was trying to compose j myseif and still the fears that remorise- j less!? tugged :it my heart, a messengci came with a letter for his sister. All I ?aw was "St. Luke's Hospital" in the I upper left hand corner of the envelope.! when I became suddenly calm and still. | Yes, he was then injured, dying perhaps; I did not inquire. " Sophie," I cried, " you mast come j now. this minute; oh, my darling,what have you done, what have you done?" Sophie, dear, motherly Sophie?she was four years the junior of Felix?took me into her arras and tried to comfort me. ' Y~i ^nnnot go out in this condition," I she . ompose yourself; matters may riot be so bad as you think." Bat how could I be calm when I ] thought othim suffering, ill, and it all my fauit? I do not know how we reached the hospital, and have only a faint recollection of being hejped in and out of a carriage and waiting in a darkened reception room, whose quietness w.is ominous, to me an eternal length of time before we were ushered into a d milv lighted little room at the top of the builtfing. My heart stood still at the threshold. There, on a cot bed, the only article of furniture in that room besides a table covered with bottles and lint and two chairs, lay a seemingly inanimate form, whose head, though swathed in bandages, I recognized m belonging to my prMe, my love. The gentleman who conducted us to th?: loom?the doctor, I supposed?put a warning finger on his lips a?d restrained me as I was about to rush.forward and throw myself on the bed. Madam." said he, kindly but firmly, in an ominous whisper, "the least excitement may cost him his life." I recovered my composure as he ?fff>ml me a glass of water. * Inez!" t^irne in a faint, broken whisper from the bed. "Yea," I said in the calmest tone I could mutter; "lam here." The doctor's hand was again on ray arm. [f you fee] sure of yourseli," said he, "and can control all outward display ol emotion, you (ran go to him; but remember what I have said." 1 nat on a cnair tha: the doctor placed forum ly the bed3ide and put my han.l within the one outside the coverlet, which.oli, joy! responded to my touch with a slight pressure. * J?id you have h pleasant time last j evening?'' j j "Darling," 1 whispered, "don't." 1 That he should think of such a thing at such a time! Sophie was bending ' over the bed, tears in her eyes, her J ] sweet, low voice saying: " Courage, ' for Felix, dear, and you will soon be i t weIL" i ma I heard her say to the doctor, as they stood no:ir the door: "How did this; ' happen?" 8en He replied in a whisper, which I did ; i1 not catch, and then beckoned to me. for "Madam," he said, politely, "it is ] against the rules of this institution for fui visitors to remain with the patients be- j r yond an allotted time, but as this case is j _* rather an exceptional one, and as I have r nnniidimi'p in vmir nnwpr to cure rather than to aggravate our friend's ill, I shall itr( allow you to return this evening at six 1 1 and remain with him until nine." 1 hli I thanked him hurriedly?I do not pa know how?and going back to Feiix ] whispered: sjl "Good-bye, darling, I am going now.! dn but he says I may come back again this < evening." , tl,J " Inez." he said, in clear, calm tones. that struck a chill to my heart, so quiet J . and resigned they were, " I have a re- j ' quest t? make; you will grant it as per-' haps it may be my last." # : " Darling, do not talk now. Take it j 1 for granted that I shall do whatever you , tin wish." _ : clc "We were to be married." This! ] brokenly. * ] de "You will get well and we shall be ! by married.1' i < "But suppose?suppose I do not re- (rr( cover." I did not answer, but tightened my hold on his hand. " Will you "? i another pause?"will you consent to! render my last hours happy by becom- : ?,c ing my wife now?" i ,ai I hesitated. Was this a rich man's j < fancy that ought to be humored, and , fes would he forget all about it if I said j an yes? I ] The doctor was at my elbow. _ I wi "If you care enougn to marry him. j foi you might as well do so now; you'll j j bave to forego a grand wedding," ;i j smile, half mocking, curled his lip; "if ^ he recover, why, a disagreeable cere-1 on mony will have been gotten overwitb: if he do r.ot, well, you will have the j . consolation of knowing you made all i fll2 reparation in your power," j ?r< This was said severely. 1 in How curious the doctor seemed. Was < he heartless or cynical? He appeared m< angry with me. Did he think I cared in for a grand wedding? 1 roi "Felix," I whispered, "yes." j "Now?" For a man wounded nigh j in unto death the animation he displayed j em was wonderful. "This very evening?" j ph The doctor had his finger on the j in patient's pulse and gave me a warning I an look. " He is getting feverish," he said. I < vSophie looked at me searchingly. " It | rej' might save his life," her eyes said. an " I will mannge everything," the doc- j R0 tor added. " When you return this | 5? ?i j Ar. ? ? i i uu> evening you win nn? me minister nt?rv, : , and the rine?" j -rj. Felix interrupted: " My mother's 1 1 ring? Sophie has it." i She nodded. i fp_ "It is settled, then?" the doctor eon- J eluded. ! . "I said. "Yes." . I . 1 The doetor conducted us down-stairs, | fer even to the entrance gate, bareheaded as i in he was. j We did not speak a word on our way j 19* home. Sopliie only held my hand, j w< After our hurried meal (who could eat?)) I wrote to my mother and father?they I were out ?f town?apprising them of ; J what had occurred and of what was j ha about to happen; and then, with Felix's i by father. Sophie and my little sister, we j ef started for the hospital. . ] The doctor met us at the door; he Ki must have been waiting to conduct th<> lar strange bridal party up-stairs; and in | rai due time we arrived in the attic rtom. ! tea where I saw sitting beside Felix's j ( bedside .as we entered the most kindest' tei ana Denevoient looking oia gentleman, with snowy hair and such a good, hand-! U3, snme fa^e, that I ever saw in my life, j es. The doctor introduced him to us; he; was to perform the ceremony. Per- j ' haps the recollection of some past i "r romance m his own gave his eyes that I .. misty, far-off gaze as his glance met j . mine. , n* It was all over; we were man and i J wife till death did us part. 1 shuddered ! a ' as I thought how soon that might occur, j ne My husband turned over on his side j an with a long-drawn sigh of relief and , closed his eyes.

Many singular instances have occu id in base ball games, which, if gatl :ed together, would make quite an i; 'resting storv. Ilines, the deaf mi f the Providence team, made thr its last year in championship gam rhich virtually won for that team tl iiampionship. Gould won ihe char ionsnip for the Bostons from the Ch igos one season by a lucky hit over tl ioston grounds fence, which brougl l no less than four runs, the numb ecessary to win the game.

A correspondent writes: I suppose I am tbe only person with whom the late hangman had any relations approaching friendship. Some twelve years ago I used to fish nearly every Saturday afternoon in the Lea near Sewardstone. Afternoon after afternoon there was wont to confront me on the left bank a little old man with along white beard. We began to converse on fishing topics, and gradually grew quite intimate, always, however, with the stream between us. At length, one day. a pudden thunderstorm came on, and refuge had to be sought. I counseled the old man to make for a bridge, get to my side and accompany me to the Fountain, a well-known hshing publichouse. As we were approaching the public-house he stopped, and said he would rather that i went in alone. I pressed him for his reason. Finally, with some emotion, he told me who he was, spoke of the possibility of his being recognized, and the embarrassment the recognition would cause to me. I always take a man as I find him: and if Titu#Oates were a man of social tendencies, I should not have the slightest hesitation in standing him a dinner at the Continental. Calcraft, I think, was touched, and we became almost friends as we sat and drank while the thunderstorm spent itself. Then and afterward he told me some curious anecdotes of his professional career. Mrs. Manning, he said, was the worst subject he ever had worked off. She was somehow a sort of distant cousin of his, aud when on the scaffold he spoke to her soothingly. Her return was to make her teeth almost meet in the ball of his thumb as he pulled the nightcap down over her face. He promised to give me whole sheaves of anecdotes, and I at one time contemplated his biography; but I was called abroad and never saw the old man afterward. There ran through Calcraft's nature a curious vein of romance. When I knew him he had an only daughter, just grown up, on whom he doted. She had found a sweetheart, so he told me one day in our cross-stream gossip, and she asked Ikt father to be allowed to brine him home. Calcraft counseled the girl to be candid with her lover as to her father's "profession"?the expression was his o^n; but the girl could mot brine herself to speak out, and she successfully entreated her father to keep the erusome secret also. The lover was an assiduous visitor to the maison C'alcraft up the New Northroad way, and the marriage day was actually fixed. He owned that he was miserable with the sense of false pretence and the presentiment of impending misfortune. One night, after the lover had said good-by to his girl, a genial neighbor stopped him?a woman, *f coi rse, Calcraft bitterlv interpolated?and revealed to the lover who his impending fatherin-law was. The fellow went away, and never came back. The girl was miserable, and the poor old kangman was doubly miserable, partly in sympathy for las child's suffering, partly in remorse for his own share in bringing it about. Here is the theme for a tragedy in the hands of a man like Mr. Wills.? London World. Jefferson Dans' Custodian. Major William Winckel, lessee of the New York Turn Hall and one of the eifcht victims of the fire at that place, was a broad-shouldered, ruddy-cheeked man, with light liair and beard, and weighed 200 pounds. He was born in Pragel, in the province of Westphalia. Germany, where his father held a civil clerkship. He studied civil engineering, and came to this country twenty years azo. On the outbreak of the war he became a lieutenant in the Third Pennsylvania Artillery, and after being made captain, was on three successive staffs, and finally held the rank of maior. As such he was in command of the detachment which guarded Jefferson Davis in Fortress Monroe, and Mr. Davis, on going away, sent him his card, with thanks for his courteous treatment written on the back. The Confederate Vice-President, Alex. II. Stephens, after visiting Mr. Davis, wrote on the back of his card lines reported as follows: My good friend Winokel, I stop lor a twinkle, To truet that yonr lite May ne'er have a wrinkle. Mr. Winckel received a slight wound in the leg in one of the battles. He rarely spoke ot his war experiences, and acquaintances of years' standing knew nothing of them. He became a captain in the now disbanded Ninety-sixth New York militia on returning home, and was lessee of Westphalia hall, in First avenue, for several years prior to leasing Turn hall on its completion eight years ago. He had no children, but had adopted his wife's nephew, Willie Geib. who was also burned in the fire. ?Xetu York Sun. Keep the Body Erect* An erect bodily attitude is of vastly more importance to health than most people imagine. Crooked bodily positions, if maintained any length of time, are always injurious, wnether in the sitting, standing or lying posture, whether sleeping or waking. To sit with the body leaning forward on the stomach, or to one side, with the heels elevated on a level with the head, is not only in , , bad taste, but very detrimental to! health. It cramps the stomach, presses ; the vital organs, interrupts the free motions of the chest, and enfeebles the functions of the abdominal and thoracic organs, and, in fact, imbalances the ! j whole muscular 6vstem. Many children 1 become sligntly humpbacked, or se- I { verely round shouldered "by sleeping j with the head raised on a high pillow, j 1 When any person finds it is easier to sit I * or stand or walk or sleep in a crooked ! . position than a straight one, such a j person may be sure his muscular system is badly deranged, and the more < careful he is to preserve a straight or i upright position again, the better. j Can We Attract Bain Stoma ! A letter to the Washington Republican Ays: In August, 1855,1 traveled from London to Manchester, Eng., on my uray to Liverpool, and a laay who sat >pposite to me said,when we were about wenty miles from Manchester: " Well, ve have not had rain so far. but we hall meet it before we reach Mancheser." We were traveling at about the ate of fifty miles an hour, and, of course, Tould arrive there in about twentyive minutes. At the time she spoke the inn was shining brightly. In a few ninutes the aky became overcast, ana vhen we arrived in Manchester a driziling rain was falling. Astonished, I isked the lady what enabled her to jrophecy so marvelously correct so very ebently. She laughed and said: " Oh, t is easy enough, sir. There are 223 all furnace chimneys in Manchester, ;ach of which has from three to five itout lightning conductois, or rods, pointing hundreds of leet in the air to ;he ground. The consequence is that :very electric cloud which passes over ;he city is drawn to the eartn. It nearly ilways rains in Manchester, not very aeavy, it is true, but seldom a day esjapes without rain here." And we know [low rain used to follow battles here in [862. I have often thought if some jghtning rods were placed on tall trees in elevated parts of the country it would ireduce the same effects. Why shouldn't it?- At all events, I give tne idea for what it is worth. The scholar, without good breeding, is a pedant; the philosopher, a cynic; the soldier, a brute; and every man dis agreeable.
