Awl with a careless nod William Hoyes left the roon; uAlways thc way," murmured Lizzie Haves sinking back upon the sofa. Out every night 1 doux believe he cares one bi', about tue now, and yet we've been ra irried only two yeats. No inan can have ;i more orderly house 1 am sure. I never g.? any wileri*. I sui not a bit extravagant ; and yet I don't believe iiC loves ice any if^re. 0. dear, why is it ? I wa>n't rich ; lie did not many me for my mODev, and he must have loved me then why does he treat mc with so much neglect ?" And with bet mind lilied with such frightful querier, L'zzi?- fell asleep on thc sofa. Let me paint her picture as she lay herc She w is a blonde, with a small graceful figure und a pretty face. The hair which showed by its rich waves its natural tendency to cur!, was brushed smoothly back, and gatherod into a rich knot at the back-it was such a bother to curl it. she said-her cheek was paie, and the whole face wore a discontented expression. Her dress was a neat chintz ,, wrapper, but she wore neither collars nor sleeves. " What's the U?C of dressing up just for William ?" Lzzie sh pt soundly for two hours, and then awoke suddenly. She sat up, glanced at the clock, and sighed drearily at the pros pect of the long interval still to bo spent be fore bedtime. The library was just over the room in which she sa', and down the furnace-flue, th tough the register, a voice came to thc young wife's cars, lt was her husband's. '' Well, Moore, what's a man to do? I must have pleasure somewhere. Who would have fancied that Lizzie Jarvis, s?: pretty, sprightly, and loving, could chango t?> lue fretful dowdy she is now ? Who wants to s;yy at homo to bear his wile whining all thc evening about her troublesome servants, and her headach?! and all sorts of bothers? She's got the knack of that drawling whine so [?nt, 'pen my life I don't believe she ca:: speak plvasintly/' L'zzie sat m il stunned. Wa- thi.i true? looked in the glass. If r.oi exactly dowdy, her costume was certainly not suitable for an evening wiih only William to admire. She to?", and softly went to her room, with bitter, ?cirrowful thoughts, and a firm resolution, to um back her husband's h earl, ?Te regained, to keep bira. The next morning William breakfast room wi'li his usual ncr, but a bright, shine came on his lips as he sa.v Lizzie. A pretty chintz, with neut collar id sleeves of snow-wnm- muslin, with a wreath of soft full curls, bud really metamor phosed her ; while the blus'i her husband's admiring ?lance called up to her cheek did not detract, (rom her beauty. At first William thought lhere must, be a guest, but glancing around, he found.they were alone. Come, William, your coiled will soon be cold." said Lizzie, in a cheerful pleasant voice. "It must cool till you sweeten my break fast with a kiss/' ."aid her husband croFsing the room to her side, and Lizzie's heart bound ed as she recognized thc old lover's tone and manner. Not one fretful speech, not one complaint fell upon William's ear through the roealt Tbc newspaper, the usual solace at that hour, lay untouched, as Lizzie chatted gaily on every plea-ant topic she could think of, warra in;.-, by his grateful interest and cordial man ner. ? " You will bc at home to dioner ?" sue said, as ho went out. ;' Can't to day, Lizzie. I've business out of town but I'll be homo carly to tea. Have something substantial] for I don't expect to dine. Good-bye." And tho smiling look, warm '.iss, and lively whistle were a marked contrast to his lounging careless gait of the p' evious evening. " I am in the right path," said Lizzie in a low whisper. "Oh, what a fool I have been for the last two years ! A fretful dowdy." William, you shall never say that again." Lizzie loved her husband with a real wifely devotion, and her lips would quiver as she thought of the confidence to his friend Moore; liut like a bravo little woman she stifled back ' thc bitter feeling, and tripped off to perfect her plans. The grand piano, silent for months, was opened, and the linen COTS*? taken from ' and then, his * # :amo info thc Careless man the furniture, Lizzie saying, " He shan't find any parlors more pleasant than his own, I'm determined." Tea-time, and William came with it. A little figure in a tasty, bright silk dress, smooth curls; and oh ! such a lovely blush and smile, stood ready to welcome William as he came in-; and tea-time passed as the morning meal had done. After tea there was no movement as usual toward the hat-rack. William stood up beside the table lingering and chatting, until Lizzie arose. She led him to the light, warm parlor, in their pretty glow of tasteful arrangement, and drew him down on the sofa beside her. He felt as if he were courting over again, as he watched her fingers, busy with some fancy needle-work, and listened to the cheerful voice he had loved so dearly two years before. " What are you making, Lizzie ?" " A pair of slippers. Don't you remember how much you admired the pair I worked for you-oh 1 ever so long ago?" ? I remember-black velvet, with flowers on them. I used to put my feet on the fend ers, and dream of blue eyes and bright curls, and wished time would move faster to the day when I could bring my bonny wife home to make music in my house." Lizzie's face saddened for a moment, as she thought of the last two years, and how little music she bad made for his loving heart, gradually weaning it from its allegiance, and then she said : " I wonder if you love music as you did then ?" " Of course I do. I very often drop into Mrs. Smith's for nothing else than to hear the music." " I can play and sing better than Mrs. Smith," said Lizzie, pouting. ' But you always say you are out of prac^ tice when I ask you." "I had the piano tuned this morning. Now open it and we will see how it sounds." William obeyed joyfully, and tossing aside her sewing, Lizzie took the piano stool. She had a very sweet voice, not powerful, but most musical, and was a very fair performer ou the piano." ? Ballad, Lizzie." "Oh, ye?, I kuow you dislike opera music in a parlor." One song after another, with a nocturne or lively instrumental piece, occasionally, be tween them, filled up another hour pleasantly. The little mantel clock struck eleven ? , "Eleven! I thought it was about nine. I ought to apologize, Lizzie, as I used to do for' staying so lon/r; and I can say truly, as I did then, that the time bas passed so pleasantly I can scarcely believo it so late." The piano was closed, Lizzie's work put up in the basket, and William was ready to go up stairs ; but glancing back, be saw his little wife near the fire place, her hands clasped, and her head bent, and large tears falling from her eyes. He was beside her in an in stant. " Lizzie, darling, are you iii ? What is tho matter?" " Oh, William, I have been such a bad wife, T heard you tell Mr. Moore last evening how [ had disappointed you ; but I will try to make your home pleasant. Indeed I will, if rou will forgive and love me." '* Love you ! Oh, Lizze, you can't guess bow dearly I love you !"

Under thc above heading the Danville Ex press relates thc following : Wc have lately heard a capital story con nected with a prominent lawyer jof our vii? Inge, who has distinguished himself in de fence of our criminals, as well as in connec tion with our trials, having frequently through bis skill, aided the most hardened criminal)) to escape from justice. Some time ago, while our friend wns attending court in an adjoining county, he was applied to by a sin gular specimen ol humanity, charged with jrand larceny, to defend him. The lawyer ?ery naturally inquired what he was accused af. The party accused replied that somebody had been mean enough to charge him with stealing ?150 in bank notes, and had got bim indicted. " Are you Ruilty 7" asked the lawvcr. " That's none of your business," replied Ibo accused. "They say that makes no dif ference with you, whether a man is guilty or not, you will contrive to dig him out some way. So don't talk any more about guilt un til you hear what the jury says." " Well, what about the pay?" the lawyer lays. " You just hold on till the trial is over ; give K- (the complainant) h-1 on the examination, and that other fellow he bas got to back bim up, aud you'd have no trouble about thepny." Thc trial commenced and proved to be a somewhat protracted and exciting one. The District Attorney proved that the money in question was composed of two $50 bills on a certain bank, an-.l the remainder all iu $10 bills, all of which were wrapped up in a piece of silk. Thc jury after listening to tue coun sel in the case, and receiving the charge of the Judge, retired and soon returned with a verdict of not guilty. The accused, who was greatly elated with the result of the trial and the effort of his counsel, invited the latter into one of the vacant jury rooms. As soou as they were alone he slapped his counsel on th? shoulder and exclaimed : H Free as water, ain't I ? What's tbe use of trying a man for stealing when you are around ? Now I s'pose you want your pay." " Yi-s ; have you got anything to pay with?" said the lawyer. " Lend me vour knife and we'll see about that." The lawyer, slightly startled at such a prop osition, rather reluctantly complied. The ac cused immediately commenced cutting and ripping away at the waistband of his panta loons, and soon produced tho roll of bills for the stealing of which he had just been tried, wrapped up in the identical piece of oil silk described by the witness for the prosecution, and throwing it down on the table before the astonished lawyer, exclaimed : '. There, take your pay out of that; I guess there is enongh there to pay you tolerably well." " Why, you villian I you stole that money after all," said the lawyer. " Do you expect I can take any of that money ? ?' Stole that money ? Why, what are yon talking about ! Didn't tbem twelve men up stairs there juRt say I didn't ateal it? What's the use of your trying to raise a question of conscience, after twelve respectable men have given their opinion upon the subject 7 Take ?our pay out of that and ask no questions, (on't bo modest in taking ; I got it easy enough and you've worked hard enough for it." Our informant did not state how much tho lawyer took, but we presume the chap didn't have much change left, after our friend had satisfied bis " conscience" in the premises. A SAD CASK or DESTITUTION.-In our rambles along River street yesterday, wo were informed of a family of wbito persons, per fectly destitute, who were living in an open lot, without cover or shelter. On proceeding to the spot on River street, just west of Fahrn street, we found an old woman ard three girls, ranging from sixteen to twenty years of age, standing around a fire, and covered with scarce garments enough to satisfy the requirements of modesty, or to projet their shivering forms from the piercing winds. Ono j ol the giri? informad ut that they Tero poo-1 niless and unable to obtain shelter. The blanched cheek and sunken eye told too plain ly their hard struggle for . the necessaries of life. Possessed of nothing save a miserable mattrass, they sought this spot to await the charity of passes by-Savannah News & Herald. A Picture of a Thousand. When Sherman's army entered Columbia there lay upon a bed of sickness, in a hospi tal, the widowed mother of two little girls, who, innocently, and in blissful ignorance of their sad situation, amused them?.dves with children's sports in the place of privation, sorrow and pain to which their pror mother had retreated as the only refuge in her help lessness. She had come from Georgia to at tend her.husband, a soldier, who was sick in the hospital, and who was soon relieved from misery and the dread scenes to come by death. His poor wife soon took his place in tho sick list, and her only children, the two little girls, remained as guests of this place, where infan cy was so strangely associated with disease with all its horrors, and became familiar with Death, who, attended by famine, maintained his hideous vigils over the sick, wounded and dying inmates. The thunders of the approaching army, the roar of flames, the ringing of bells, thc falling of houses, the bursting of shells, and the general clamor of panic, distress, and grief, so shocked the feeble sick woman in the hospital that she died from grief and fright, bestowing a last glance, in utter de spair, upon her two little children, whose fate it was to be left ct such a time amongst strangers, far from home and perfectly help less. Who can tell the anguish of that poor mother at passing away lrom the world and Jeaving her tender offspriug to the mercies and chances of that perilous day ! it was in ' deed a mercy that the pang and the agony ?were brief. Tho mother died, and was buried by order of General ShermaD, who also ordered that the two infants should be sent to the asylum. ? general famine followed in the march cfc)j that general officer, and there being nothing wherewith to feed the inmates of the asylum, there was no recourse but to send them away. Aere was another phase of that extreme hu man miiCry which chills the blood even to read of. The feeble, the sick, the lame, and the halt, and the helpless who lound refuge in that asylum, were to go forth, as there was -nothing there to feed them. Where were they to go ? and what to do ? What became of them all, none can tell. Death ended the sorrows of many. In the midst of this sad community were the two motherless girls, mere infants, uncon scious of their lot. People came from all quarters to see what c.?uld be done for the# | dispersing household. Among tlpjpse who came* on this errand was a lady of great worth and refinement, who was once the mistress of a mansi?n where all that wealth, and elegance, and taste could contribute to comfort arid en j.?yment was gathered together. She had ,ded from the fine estates of her husband in Beaufort, and the fair and rich domain she once looked on as hers WUN now parcelled out nmongst her late slaves, hiving in what may bc called poverty in Columbia, -he yet needed some assistance in her housekeeping for her self and family, and repaired to the asylum to obtain, if possible, a servant girl. '1 here *!fer eyes were attracted by thc two little_Eirl->, -*utui; -?.c m n o,,mcr on the snnny side of thc h use on a chilly April nay, Lng* ging each othtrto keep warm. They were remarkable for their beauty, and very sym metrical and delicate figures. The ladv made inquiry, and learned their history. Her heart yearned towards them ; but what could she do in her poverty? Con- . j templating them in their forlorn condition, } yet so bright aud so unconscious of their fate, cheerfully endeavoring to borrow from the sun that warmth which man's inhumanity had deprived them of, she was oppressed with the force of the tender sympathy which she felt she was too poor to gratify. She turned away abruptly and hurried towards her home. But those two tender and bright faces-those two babes with neither borne nor relative, were before her. She could not shut them out. Her pity and sympathy grew as she widened the distance between her and them, and at last, completely overcome by her solic itude, she turned back, and in the multitude of miserables sought the children, and faking one in each hand, walked off with them in delight. Siucc then, until a few days ago, that noble lady has maintained these children under all the privations of her own situation. She had sought in vain for a place of refuge for them. Some two weeks ago she wrote to Miss Emi ly Mason now in Baltimore-that indefatiga ble lady who had done s'> much to relieve thc unfortuna'e and afflicted of these times-in quiring if some provision could not be made for these children. Miss Mason had filled all the places she succeeded in finding, and had written a letter saying that nothing could then bs dene for them-when, aa it were hy Providential design, a letter came from St. Louis offering places for twelve Southern children, the means for thc support and edu cation of whom had b. on provided by the liberal citizens of that city. Miss Mason, with a delight all who know her can we!! im agine, reopened the letter to ber Columbia friend and wrote a postscript, i;; which she waa requested to send on ''Beulah" and " Lulu"-for theso were the names of tho motherless little fawns-at once, that they might go on to the bornes just found for them. Poor children ! who will not offer up a prayer that they may now be happy for Hie! This is, indeed, a picture of a thousand, and no one can road the facts, we aro sure, without being impressed more forcibly with the solemn duty at such a time as this of con tributing to the aid aud succor of those brought to dependence and destitution by the events of thc war.-Richmond Dispatch. " The colored people of Charlotte have formed an anfl-cmigration society to prevent, as far as possible, the emigration of colored people from that State. They insist that North Carolina colored citizens should remain at homo to develop tho resources of their own State." This .ii commendable. That the colored people who have been induced lo leave their j good old homes nnd go among strangers in the far distant West, are becoming dissalisfi ed and returniug in squads, is a sufficient foundation for societies of this kind, and we should be highly gratified to hear of similar organizations in Augusta and other towns in Georgia, where the colored people are better informed than those from the rual districts, \ . and can set before those restless spirits so j( fond of change that it is to their interest to remain where they arc.-Chronicle & Sen- ( ti :; el THE PRESIDENT'S WIFE.-Mrs. Johnson, wifo of the President, appeared at a Presi- ' ' dential reception lately, for tho first time, and , J a correspondent says : " I felt a deep anxiety : J to sec tho woman who had tanght ber bus- j band to read, and inspired him with that lofty ; j ambition which lcd to place and power.

The people there r quired nothii'g from the North except pr?tc uon for their civil right*, and Northern car tal to develop their iudustry. Mr. Williams, of Indiana, opposed the joil resolution, because the charity of the Guver ment could be better applied to the widov and orphans of the ?forth, mada such" by tl rebels. If aujt were to suffer from dcslit tion, let it be, said he, the disloyal, and 1 God Almighty populate that country wil people loyal to the flig. Mr. Donnelly advocated the measure as measure of reconstruction and calculated allay iil'feeling. Ile believed it would Cxtec i ti tu regions where no other agency fa vorab to the Government could reach. Mr. Kelly also advocated the measure ; one which would say to the poor people the South that while the Government wou restrain those who had done them wron they themselves should not suffer from wa-, it the Government could relieve them. Mr. Banks offered an amendment, settin aside SoO.OOO of the amount for the distrihi liou of seeds among tho destitute of the Sout by the Commissioner of the Freedmen Bureau. Mr. Miller moved to amend that am?ne tuent by making the amount ?75,000, a ti spoke in support of it. Mr. Chanier denounced the measure as bi ing designed, not to aid thc poo~ people of i h South, but lo keep up the Freedmen's Bu reau. Ile characterized it as a black woli ii sheep's clothing, and as purely a pol?tica measure, conceived in no ;:o'jd spirit. Mr. Boyer trusted the biii would pas promptly, ami by a largo vote. He referrei to the vote by tueBrilUhParliament, twent years ago, ol' fifij millions' of dollars for th' relief of the narring people of Ireland, Wail here it was proj>osed to appropriate only one lii?eth part of that amount lor the relief o the .starving people of the Smth. Ifield* men on his side of the House objected to tin Freedmen's Bureau as a means of distrlbu tiou, it should be recollected that that wa the most available means at hand for tba purpose. If more money were required, hi would vote for it. Il this measure wort no passed, L e cid not wish to hear any more res oiuiions of sympathy f? . tue-people of Ire land from the gentleman from Kew Yorl (Mr. Wood) or anybody else. In reply to J question fruin Mr. Wood, he declared Ula? tbi analogy L tween the people ot Ireland and the people of the South WAS complete. Botl wt re suffering under political r.utyecotion at well as under material necessities. He bac not expected to hear any opposition to th? bill from his own si le of the Horse. Ho had thought it was a sort of test question lo sec whcih? r the nmjuriiy of the House hud not u:.'tie rr IT o complete ossification of tho heart Mr. Chauler, replying to .Mr Boyer's criti cism on his position, remarked that lu (Mr Boyer) had discoverer] the proper tenn foi his own disease-ossification, not of the :ie:rt. hut of ibe brain. Mr. Boy- r retorted that Mr. Chanler would never suffer from t!i:itd:soa*e. In his case the dis. ase would i e, not ossification, but soften ing of thu brair. Mr. Chauler remarked, that whatever intel ii-.cnce he had would not be exercised in misrepresenting his friends. Mr. Boyer said that as he had uninKntion illy misrepresented Mr. Chanier, he asked his parl?n, end trusted he would always under stand him bei UT hereafter. Mr. Bu;?er offered a substitute, whh.'b was io strike out all after t'ie enacting words, and insert a provision appropriating one million biliar?, to be expended under the direction of ihc Secretary of Wir,' in relieving the widows md children of Union soldiers starved to leafli i:i th* rebel prisons of Andersjnvilie, 3ai sbury, Libby, Milien and Belie Ls'n;. Ho declared that he believed in the princi ple of being just before being generous, and that until the Government was able to make some provisions for thoso to whom his sub jiitiuc alluded, he was not for putting his hand into the pocket of the already overtaxed N:orth in order to be generous to thc untaxed South. He had supplied, for many months, io New Orleans, ?oed to the starving wives md children of rebe! soldiers, but in order to do so t-c had not drawn a doiiar from the Government, but lud taxed the rich.bf the South to teed the poor of che South : and he ivas still willing to go as f r as the fu.-ihest in that dire; lion. In opposing this monsr.ro he referred to the recent appropriation by the Mississippi Legis laturo of ?20,000 ?;.r the defence of Jefferson Davis in ii tri-.vl that would never take place. Mr. Boyer asked Mr. Butler whether he thought that a season for denying aid to starv ing women and children. Mr. Butli-r replied that the Government could only deal with poople as communities, not as individuals. Mr. Boyer put ihequsstion in another way : Whether the poor people of Georgi i shouid be inaib; tn suffer on account of thi political (tenon of Mississippi. Mr. Buller replied: By, no means j adding, thal if Mississippi had been alorio in such manifestation, be wouid be content to deprive thal State of any benefits under thc bili. The ladies ol Texas bad recently sola a large quantity of Confed?rale uniforms, and what bad they done with the proceeds 7 Had they devoted them to relieve the poor in their midst? No; but they had sent the amount UH an endowment to thc college ever which General lt. E. Lee presided. Hr had also noticed thc present of a pair of same chick ens to Robert E. Lee, and thought it would have been better to have boiled them for some nf thc starving children about whom gentle men appeared so anxious. [Laughter.] He wished to* let the. people of the Sjuth know Lbat as long as they followed men who had led thom to destruction, dest-uctiou could on ly be the result ; that they should repudiate their old leaders, and, by a course of legisla tion which would divide the land among all the people, obtain lelief. Mr. Logan opposed the measure-, regarding it as nothing more than a side dodge toward pensioning 'he one-armed and one-legged rebel soldiers and tue widows of ret)ol soldiers. If Congress was to bc converted into a chari table institution to support a cia.'s cf people who would not support themselves, it might expect to be called upon to appropriate a million of dollars every month: and even that would not be sufficient. If charity was 1 to be dispensed by the Government, let it not j1 be confined to ono portion of the county, i Let not Congress be urged to put its hands in I the Treasury for the purpose of fostering ] treason in thc Southern States-for that was really all that this measure meant, although not so intended by the Commissioner of tho ? Freedmen's Bureau. ] Mr, Bingham had hoped that tl.is bill would < not have met any opposition iii the House, particularly on thc Republican s:de of it.
