The poor, grief-strickon German, of whom his companion, Dr. Townsend, hfidspokon, with the dead infant in lieuminutrs sat silently weeping over the little dead face. The three sturdy children, grouped in childish sorrow about their little -d"d brother, was indeed a touching ispectacle. But, standing beside them, wathediinity..of. Dr. Townsenld's .admiration, and she who was inost -certainly to "share the ends" of the unhappy Richard. She was a tall, slendor girl of oigh teon, with magnificent eyes and hair. An he oitered the car she was speak ing, her lovely face flushed, and the 814all, rosy mouth, disclosing a beauti ful set of teeth, turned bewitchingly towards the tall stranger at the door. "Ladies and gentlemen," spoke the sweet voice, "this poor woman, friend less, peniles, speaking no English, with four little children, was expect ing to find work in St. Louis, to sup port them. If everything had gone well with her it would have been hard fot her ; but With her little dead baby and sorrowful heart she is certainly a deserving object of charity; and I propose tbat such as feel willing, cohi tribute their mite toward a little purse for her immediate wants and the burial of her poor baby. And," she added, with a bewitching smile, "if any geni tiemain will lend me a hat I will go round and take up a collection." In an Instant th e gallant Richard pulied his traveling cap from his blondo curls and offered it to the An gol of Mercy, who accepted it with a smile, this time all his own, and com mp'nced gathering the readily forth coming dollars her generous, graceful aippeal brought from the purses of all in the ear. Richard watched the slender figure in gray gathering the money, and looking at the plaid cap in the white jeweled fingers, lie bethought him of his oWn donation, and stepping to the seat the beauty had just occupied, he laid his satchel and shawl upon a famn Sly, of. Its kind, belonging to the angel In gray, and took from his pocket a tyn dollar bill, which he placed in the little hand that returned him his cap. F~urther damage the poor follow re ec1vet) when a second smile and warm Jy..worded thanks for his liberal contri bUtion were dealt him from the beau tifu.l mouth. Dick was in thme midst of an olabo raWd reply, when the cars stopod. 1-e lingered yet another momecnt, soiKed is satchel and shawl, with his ejea.illI on the face of his charmier, andi then even as the cars were again ihpt 7lion, ho bethought himself of 4 4iootor, and hurriedly left the car asstrolned his friend on the platform. "4V10l,"ej aculatedi that worthy, "I 4e0nt believe you'd concluded to Sburf the dead baby, and make groQteetmg~ beauty Mrs. Angelica fI~.hIn't she a stunner ?" "TAfasoed" returned his friend, -'den't u~se slang in speaking of tihe noble creature.' Ho looked after the traIn-just disappearing in the distance. "I wish to bdavee," ho continued, "I'd renained aboard. How stupid I wvas leave it. I might have learned her eand residence. And now-" ', in all probability," broke in or, "you'll neover meet her in of tears.

And this rallying his thoroughly cativated friend, the two made their way to the house of an acquaintance, with whom they were to remain that night., and gt on the next day to their destination-St. Loule. After the first salttation our hero Went to his room to remove some of the ovidoncom of his long ride from Now York. He had removed his coat vest and collar; he had splashed, an soaped, and washed, till his damp curls hung close to his shapoly head, when he made a startling discovery. Flushed and breathless, ho burst into the next room upon his friend. "Townsend," cried be, "what k1ponl earth do you suppopo Ie gbt the wrong bag. Ivo changed baggage with the Angel of Mercy. Look at that slipper-see that thimble-con template that glove." "It's evident you've the lady's satchel. And what was there in yours ?" "Don'tbring up that dreadful idea,'' anid Dick. "Cigars and a hair-brush, a pack of cards and a comb, pocket flask and a tooth-brush--everything disreputable. If I am judged by that bag, I'm a lost man." "And this I took for a clean shirt;" and Dick held up a frilled and fluted sack, such as do duty for more exten sive night-dresses with ladies when traveling. "I'd like to see Angelica when she opens my satchel." And Dick fell to musing, with the sli)per perched on two fingers and the frilled white sack spread out tenderly upon his knees. * * * * * In an upper apartment of a hand some mansion in St. Louis, on the evening of the day our heroine first made the reader's acquaintance, beau tiful B(lle Alden, the petted and only daughter of the house, sat contempla ting the various articles her confiden tial maid was disposing upon the table -articles taken from no less a receptacle than Dick Marcy's traveling bag. The cards and cigar-ease lay side by sIde, and a highly-scented party they were. "What's in the little silver flask, Rosa ?" said the fair mistress. "Brandy, ma'am," replied the maid. "Ie can't be very dissipated, to travel with such a little bottle. That's in case of sickness, I suppose," re .turped Belle. "It's my belief"'sAid-Rosa, Who was a shrewd girl, "that the gentleman was a mighty nice one, else you'd not so readily excuse the cards and the bottle." "For shame, Rosa. All gentlemen play euchre traveling, and every clergy man takes a little brandy in case of sickness," answered Belle. "And this man was a gentleman, and a liberal one, too, for hegave the poor emigrant woman ten dollars. Wthat's that Rosa?" For at that moment Rosa held be tween her fingers a letter. Whether it was wrong to read a stranger's letter vexed Belle for a m( ient, as her eyes glanced at the su perscription and hand-writing. "Why, of all things !" exclaimed the delighted girl, seizing the letter. "Why, Rosa, this is Jenny Marcy's writing, and addressed to Richard Marcy--her only darling brother who was in Europe wheni we two graduated at Madame Ritter's in Brooklyn." Belle read rapidly till she had reach ed the middle of the letter, when she burst into a merry laugh. "IIear this Rosa," she said and she read from the letter: "Above all things, Dick, dlear don't fail while in St. Louis to see my best friend and scoohnuate, Belle Alden. I know you will fall in love with her, for besides being the best girl in the world, she's a beauty and an hcil-ess, and father's choice above all others for his son's wife. He used to think it over home, and hope, and, hope, Belle would not marry before you came home from Europe. She is full as anxious to know you, and wears your hair and mine in a locket father gave her last year. Give her lots of love anid beg of her to overlook your many imperfections, for the sake of her old school fellow, Jenny." "Then this gentleman is, of course, Miss JVenny's brother," said Rosa, "and what will she say whmen she hears of your having met in this romantic way?'' "I don't intend to tell her of it till I go to New York this fall," said Belle. "Pecrhaps her brother will call ." But in this supposition Belle was wrong. The month passed, and1 she saw no more of tho golden-headed Richard. And she carefully separated the yel low lock in the little keepsake from the dark tress of Jenny 's and put it backc into its p)lace alhone, while an other locket held the bit of Jenny's. And, somehow, Belle looked very of ten at the wee golden curl, and she never did so but the rest of the hand some head sprang up beside the look; and she would sit and contemplate the picture her fancy wrought for her, little dreaming the interest she was allowing to grow in her bosom for Jen ny's brother. In the fall Belle and her father went to New York, anid the first day after hecr arrival foeund her sitting wt her oldl i~end who~' ;ftr thc first effn. sive Imecting was past, sat down to empt.y her soul. "I amu so glad you are here this mouth,'' Jenny said, "because I'm to be married in October, and 1 have al ways been crazy to have you for a bridesmaid, and Dick is to be Harry's best man." Bello blushed. "But Dick has fullon hopeless, mad ly in love I" Bello turned pale. "Yes, I was dreadfully pi-rvoked when lie passed through St. Louis anl never went near yott. Mit he went wild over some lady he met on that trip. le will talk to mc by the hours of his Aligelica. And when I have spoken of yott lie fias been positively rtud, aid asked me tuhave dodo both, cring him about my roekled mthool friends-you know your picture shows freckles ; but, bless me, you liavn't any now ! And your picture don't look any more like you than it does like ie, not a bit." "But tell me," said Belle, "is your brother engaged to this lady." "Engagcd ! Why, dear heart, he don't know her name. Ie just found some of her old cluthes somewhere. Ile's got her old slipper under a glass case; lie's got her night gown done up inl lavender; he's got her gold thimble hung on his watch chain ; and I.do believe lie's got a hair-brush and soine hair-pins next to his heart. Oh, it's folly to interfere! IIe's be yond all hope! I (lid think the ex citement of my wedding would wean him from it; but not a bit. He looks at lmy new things as calmly as an oyster, and only said-it's not kind of ine to rcpeat it, thougl," broke off Jeniy. "What was it he said ?" inquired Belle, laughing now heartily. "Don't fear for my feelings.' "Why, he said, 'I'll stand up with your friend, Belle, and see you safely married; and then I'm off to winter in Paris, I'm done with love on my own account.' It's positively awful.' And so Belle thought, as she looked at her old slipper and glove lying be neath a globe on either side of the faithful Richard's mantJ - ' 'And,' said Belle, 'since he desires only to meet me on the morning of the wedding so it shall be. I will be intro duccd only as we are leaving the house, and lie can do as he pleases about eMtinuing the acquaintance afterward.' Belle was radiant with happiness when she returned to her father, and delighted his fond heart by the change, fol-Belle had been: vvy.quiet of loto.. Jcnny and Bello shopped, and talk ed and visited together, for the next few days, and when the morning arrived, and amid a bevy of beautiful girls, Belle shone like a queen, the bride was eclipsed, and delightfully acknowledged it. '0, Belle !' she said, 'I long to have old stoical Dick see you. 11ark ! there's his step. Come into the next room now, and be introduced. Don't wait till the carriages come--its's an hour yet.' And Belle, with a beating heart, swept through the door and'stood even as Dick first saw her, only in place of the gray traveling dress, a magnificent white satin fell in rich folds about her and about her lovely white throat lay the turquois locket that held Dick's golden curl. Upon the beautiful head crowned by its chestnut hiair',a coronal of pecarls added to the grace anid beanily of an imiage that, shrinmed in Dick's heart, was already an angel. Belle did not look up, but she felt the presence, as Richard Marcy camie, up and was introduced to little dJenny's old schiool-nmate. Thenm, as he held out his hand, she raised her eyes, and laid her tiny- pan in his, and said: 'I thmnk we had better rectify that mistake about the travelinig-bag, Mr. Marcy!' 'Goodl Ueaven, Jenny,' said Dick Marcy, 'why d1idn't you tell me that your friend Belle was my 'Angel of Mercy' ?' 'Because I didin't know till last night and then Belle made moc promise not to tell. And besides, you didn't wvant to meet the freckled school girl till it was positively necessary,' ret urned Jenny, miischievously. It w~ouild be hard to say which of the four that miade Jenny's bridal parny was the ha:ppiest.that day. Dick did not go to Paris that winter. Hie found that St. Louis contained more attractions than any foreign city. But the next fall will see Dick and Belle on their wedding tour, and he vows he will have the. two old romiantic traveling bags brushed up for the occasion. Dr. Townsend, who is to go along, says lie knew the miinute lie sawv that girl she would onec day be A ngeli ea Marcy, as lie 'felt 3' in the air.'

Clean and wido walks and arriage drives, wind in graceful ntricacy through every part of leso secure retreats; so that ono nay beartily tire on)e's self with 6valking without going over the ,ame ground the second time. As 6vo app)roach, a striking array of )uildings is in view. The institu Lion consists of a largo contro building, with two large sqnaro buildings, one at each side, and Lhrown considerably in advance A the centro one; and these wings iro united to the main building by covered galleries of good bric4 work, making the whole front a sort of apsis or concave semicir ::e. At the side and somewhat in the rear of Ono of' the wings is he chopel, a gem of a church, Jesigned by U)johin. We ascond the broad and lofty flight of' stops in the centro building and ontor the parlor, where we have a few minutes to notice its great size and admirablo adaptation to its va rious purposes, the walls covered with valuable pictures, and works in bronze and other works of art scattered about the room, all of them acting poworfully but sitpit V-^s, agbnts in retining and ctlti vating the tasto. Conversation at meals is encouraged, not re stiained. And wisely, for it, pro motes health and good digestion; and since the teachers are min gled with the pupils at the tables, the latter are being formed to what many girls sadly l'a-ek, the habit of society and cdnversation. I believe, after all, that the living example and spirit of the head of a school is its great clement of p)ower and influeice in education, if it has any. It is preminontly so at St. Marv's. If there ever was a man formed by nature and fitted by culture and experience for his peculiar sphero of duity, it is Dr. Simedes. A truly kind and genial nlature, a fountainl of joy ous youthl spring ever fresh in his heart, a gaiety suIch as is rarely met, with and which in him is in born, bult united with a singular ulearness of' mind, sounduess of' judgment, and manly decision of ribarvctcr-manners tihe most fin ished, a taste and purity of style ill adiress and specchl that mny be prlonlouncedi faulItiess-all thIeso seemn to be ill him the gireat agen r-ics in educiation,.for the sake of wichl I desire to have my ch,ih(iren nudeir his guidance. it" is these things whli ch to me makeo St.Mar-y's school1, Raleigh, valuable above many instituitions of perhaps the samo standling in othmer respects. From ani observation of twenty eighlt year's, in whlich many of' its old pupils, and among them mainy of my own) connections, hlave come under my eye, I am hear-tily persuaded of' the admirable r'esults to body, soul, t.nd intellect of' the discipline and cour-so of' education of this noble instituItionl. One thing at St. Mar'y's has stiruck me forcibly-I am sorriy I cannot say it is universal elsewheroe-and that is a spirit of' modesity and rever eonce in the young ladies. A por't and flippant behavior' in the young of that sex is especially offensive to good (aste and imrals. But I see nothing of' it hlere. I have never' seen it in the graduates of St. Mary's, but, on the contrar'y, thlat mnodcst, dignified, self-r'e sp)ect and tender conscientious ness which is woman's greatest char'm. But we must bid adieu to St. Mar'y's. It is no scene of idleness, and lookers on feel rebuked. Thorol' is no stagnation hero, but all is lif'e, oner'gy, aind sy3stemnatic work. I must tear' myself' awvay and iretur'n to my own duties, sin ecroly thanking God that thor'o is such1 a home for' the education of our1 daughtera in tile South.. The memories of' this visit r'etui'n to us at our' firesido--the exhilara tion of our walks in that pure and br'acing air', the grace and sweet no0ss with which 5o many youn~ ermcatures li vo togtet her in. uni11ty; our last ovening's rarublo around the grounds after dark, and the scono promented by tho three g reat buildings, till aglow w'ith ights sparkling through' thb i1u merous windows and utreanilbg out t1pon the oaks; those crowds of' happy girls within, all busy, all growing up in mind, soul, and body, Im a Christian housohold, breathing a healthfiul, relfning moral atnosphere, and acquiring the culture and fooling of ladies by assoviation, were it nothing else; and often arises our heartfelt ben ediction upon St. Mary's and its food Rector, and the prayer that ho may long be spared to bless the land with the fruits of' his holy and untiring labors in the educatiod of its daughters. All over the South a.11 hre in Mary land are fair and noblo wome0n, from the staid matron to the young girl, who thankfully ro- i member St. Mary's as their Alma Aater, and remembering, "rise pI) and call her blessed." VA'ronIt. .11ASrE AND 1LEALTL-It is not at all wholesome to bo In a hurry. Locomotives have been reported to havo moved a mile ini a minuto for short dist;nces. But locomo tivos have often como to grief by such great rapidity. Multitudes in their haste to get rich are ruined every year. The men who do things maturely, slowly, de liberately, are the tmen who often C-st succeed in life. .e-ople who are habitually in a hurry generally have to do things twico over. The tortoise beat the hare at last. Slow men seldom' knock their brains out against a post. Foot races are injurious to health, as are all frnis of competitive exor cises ; steady labor in the field is the best gymnasium in the world. Either labor or oxerciso carried to exhaustion, or prost'ation, or even to great tiredlness, expressed by "fagged ot," always does more harm than the previous Ox orcise has dono good. All run ning up stairs, Iutnning to catch up with a 'vehicle or ferry-boat., are extremoly injurious to every tge, sex, and condition of life. It. ought to he the most pressing necessity which should induce a person over fifty to rtun twenty yards. Thoso live longest who are deliberate, who"o actions are measui ed, who never embark in dfhy enterpriso wthoL "aeping over it," and who perform all the evory-day acts of life with calm ness.
