m Llow iich. fortj» years ago a large part of brk, that is now fast be- iu, was almost a new &ople talked of “ moving Jen they emigrated from the bants of lhe Hudson to those of the Genesee. ^ Still, one of the cities on the line of the Erie Canal was even then a town of some importance, and boasted much of what then amounted to wealth and even aristocracy. Of this latter class had been the family of Judge Morton, but sundry unsuccess ful speculations had made it impossible for him to retain his accustomed position jug his neighbors, and he was about ek a new field in one of the younger settlements. rerything had long been prepared, the wagons were laden, the adieux for the most part had been said again and again, and a part of the cavalcade was fairly under wav. The heavier goods, indeed, had been started two or three days before. The ladies of the party, as well as the gentlemen, had decided to attempt the journey on horseback, well aware that the condition of the roads, even though spring was now well ad vanced, could not safely be depended upon. Apart from the rest, mounted on a stout and quiet-looking pony, sat a young lady of some eighteen summers, in whose rosy cheeks and bright, black eyes the excitement of the occasion seemed almost to have overcome its sob erer suggestions. Still, something like a shade was on her face, as she leaned forward in the saddle aud conversed in low tones with a gentleman whose arm was thrown carelessly over the neck of her pony. “ Never mind me, Charlie, why it isn’t three days’ riding, at the very worst, and that won’t hurt me. ” “But me, Susie ! I am ordered off for a long cruise, aud I cannot tell when I shall see you again.” “ But you will come back ?” “ Yes—but when ? And will you ” “WiU I what, CharUe?” “Wait a moment, Susie?” And the young man, who was in the undress uniform of an naval officer, sprang off to the side of the road, where some willow trees were growing in un trimmed luxuriance. Catching hold of one of the gracefully bending bows, he cut therefrom a long and pliant slip, with which he returned, stripping off the leaves as he came. “There, Susie ; that will do for a rid ing-whip, but do not wear it out on your pony, even if the roads are bad.” “ Why not, Charlie ?” “Because at the end of my cruise I shall come back to claim it. Will yon keep it for me ?” A very soft light stole into the black eyes ; but she said, in a low voice : ‘ * Yes, I will keep it. But are you sure yon will come back to chum it ?” “If I live, Susie.” “ Ah ! then it is good-bye,sure enough, now, for father is calling me. Good-bye. Charlie !” There was a most passionate earnest ness in the young officer’s reply, and he stood gazing after the pony and his mistress long after they were hidden by a turn of the road. We cannot follow him, however, by laud or sea, for our business is with the willow switch. If Susie’s pony suffered ou the road, it was not from any excessive application of Charlie’s queer memento ; and on the third day, about noon, Judge Morton rode up to the side of his daughter, and announced that they were close at their journey’s end. They were nearly at a fork of the road, at the foot of a gently-sloping hill; and just where the two ways met a little spring bubbled up and wandered off into an ailjacent meadow. There were more signs of improvement than Susie had expected ; but enough of wilderness remained to add to the rural beauty of the spot. “Our new home,” said the judge, “ will be on the top of the knoll when it is built, and our present quarters, such as they are, will be a little further ou.” A sudden thought seemed to have en tered the brain of Susie. “ Father, won’t willows grow from slips?” “ Yes, my deal 1 ; that’s the usual way of setting them out. ” “And they want water, don’t they? Is this one fresh enough to grow ?” “I should say it was.” “ Well, then, maybe we can have something growing here to remind us of our old home.” In an instant Susan was down from her pony, aud the willow switch was carefully planted, just above the little spring. It would have all the water it wanted, at all events. And then Susie and her father rode on to their new home ; but there was a warm flutter at the young girl’s heart, and a blush ou her cheek, as she wondered, “Will it ever grow ?” The new settlement was a good one for the judge, and Susie’s willow pros pered famously. Even the rude farmer boys had learned how it came there, and respected it religiously, while a little paling kept off other intruders. Susie’s heart throbbed high with hope and faith, at times, as she noted the wonderful vitality aud prosperity of her leafy favor ite. It grew as if it had a duty to per form, and was determined to do it well. And the little spring bubbled up more briskly from under it, and seem to mur mur softly: “He will come! He will come!” Still, one year, and another, and another, went by, and Charlie did not • come, and letters were terribly uncertain, ! aud far between. All around the world ! lie lanl been sent, aud Susie’s heart at times grew sick and weary, in spite of the willow. But she had other suitors, for her beauty seemed to grow every day, aud her father was getting along well in the world once more. Truth to tell, Susie had something of Mother Eve in her, and was by no means averse to admira tion and attention. it happened that one day in June 01 the fourth year of the residence of the Mortons in their new home, just as the sun was setting, Susie found herself taking a stroll along the shaded road side, accompanied by the handsomest and most favored of her numerous train of worshipers. They did not seem to be in a talking humor, but walked slowly along until they came to the forks of the road, and paused a moment by the side of the spring, Here, at last, the young man seemed to have found his tongue, and he pleaded eloquently aud passionately for the half reluctant hand which he had seized in both his own. Still Susie was silent, imd it may be that the bubbling spring and the sigh ing willow were talking to her, but just then they heard the sound of horses hoofs coming at a quick pace up the road, and in a moment more a rider drew rein beside them and asked polite ly if he could be directed to the resi dence of Judge Morton. The young man had dropped Susie’s hand, aud, half- vexed at the interruption, was pro ceeding to give the desired information, but his words were not listened to. The horseman was leaning forward in his saddle, and had fixed a gaze of earnest penetration on the face of Susie Morton, on which the blushes had given way to a deadly pallor. “ Susie, I have come ! The willow—” The light came back to Susie’s eyes in an instant, and, with a long sigh of re lief, she pointed to the lithe branches which swept her shoulder, aud answered, “Hear it is, Charles; it has been grow ing since yon went away.” Susie’s other companion was not ob tuse enough to linger longer in the shade of such a tree as that, and before she re turned to the house, Charlie had re claimed his gift. The song of the spring only changed enough to sound like “ He has come—he has come.” ***** Thirty years went by, aud the Morton willow went ou growing until it became a well-known landmark, towering high in the air above the little spring in the forks of the road. But thirty years work changes in other things beside trees, and a slip from the willow had been ] dissevered to grow above a little mound in the village graveyard, for the Judge slept with his fathers. Everything else had undergone changes, if not always im provement, and at last came the fearful changes of the civil war. It was not many days after the Gettys burg light, that a matronly lady, in deep mourning, supported by a fair young girl similarly clad, walked slowly and feebly down the sloping road to the spring. “ If there is a bough within reach, dear, I would rather gather it myself ; aud then if I can find where they have laid him, I will go aud plant it with my own hands.” One long, sweeping branch of the willow tree seemed, as she approached it, almost to be held out to her with sympathizing purpose, aud, with a pale face aud quivering lips, she was pro ceeding to sever the slip she wanted, un mindful of the rattle of coming carriage wheels. As for her girlish companion, she hod sank down upon the grass and covered her face with her hands. The good lady’s trembling fingers almost re fused to perform their duty, and the car riage drew within a few paces of her just as she had severed the slender rod. “ Well, mother, I hope that you aie not cutting that for me, ” said a cheery but somewhat feeble voice from the carriage. The young girl sprang to her feet, but only just in time to save her mother from falling, though she did not quite faint, and recovered quickly. “ Oh, Charlie—my boy ! my boy !” “ Here I am, mother—hurt, sure enough, but in no need of a willow yet, am I, father ?” “Not by any means,” said a hale aud hearty old gentleman, in a naval undress, who now sprang out of the carriage ; and they’ve given us both a furlough, though mine is a short one. This willow was al ways a good omen.” And again the spring seemed to bub ble \ip softly, “ He has come !—he has come!” And the old lady, and the young lady, too, sobbed and laughed and kissed the returned warriors, till the good mother with the bit of willow still in her hand, knelt down in the shade of the memorial tree, to pour out her thankfulness to Him who had made her prosperity to grow with its growth, from the day when she sprang from her weary pony to plant it. A Lucky JournaliKt. It is not often that Fate blesses a man with such entire completeness as hap pened in the case of a New York jour nalist a few months ago, according to a correspondent. He was a fine-looking fellow, handsome and distinguished, with just that dash of Bohemianism in his appearance, that takes with women. On a certain fortunate morning he was sent to report the opening or something or other of a railroad, whose president was a man of very large fortune, and whose wife, much younger than himself and very beautiful, was among the most conspicuous of the guests. Our journal ist, not troubled with bashfulness, was presented; naturally, as journalists always do, he made himself agreeable. The lady was pleased ; the attraction, to a certain extent, was mutual; and by a singular stroke which must have come from the hand of destiny itself, the rail road magnate shortly after died, leaving his young aud fair widow to mourn aud be comforted. Our journalist thought he could do no less under the circum stances than write a letter of condolence, which was answered by a little note in timating that after the lapse of a proper time the Indy would Vie pleased to have him call. He did call, more than once, and fifteen months after the death of the husband, proposed to the widow, was accepted, aud the two were married. What is a little singular about the affair is, that he never inquired the amount of the lady’s fortune, and was considerably astonished on the day of the wedding to be presented with securities representing $1,750,000 in value. This amount the Indv desired to endow him with and make his own by right, but the gallant young journalist absolutely refused to accept it. He wouldn't even go shares. He insisted that the whole should be settled upon herself, and would consent only to be the disbnrser of the moneys expended for their joint use aud benefit. The happy pair sailed for Europe, and a letter received from him the other day from Vevay, in Switzerland, containing the declaration that he was the “hap piest dog alive that his wife was the best and most charming woman in the world, and Vevay the most enchanting spot in the universe.

ACTOKY AND LiYNC A Baby’s Keiftrkable Escape. A most remarkable accident occurred one afternoon recently, at the Whittier Building, corner of Ashley street and Broadway, St. Louis. About half-past three o’clock a child named Ella Peak, less than two years of age, climbed the railing of the fourth story porch while uo one was ner enough to stop her, after a moment fell over the railings headlong to the ground. Several persons saw the child as it shot downward through fifty feet of space to the alley pavement, and with one accord they rushed to the spot expecting to find the baby crushed aud mangled by the terrible fall. Their sur prise can be well imagined when it is stated that the little one was found, not only to have no broken bones, but to have retained its consciousness. While all wondered, it was carried into the house aud divested of its clothing, the utmost care being observed to avoid in juring it. Meanwhile Dr. Nidelet had been summoned, and ou arriving made a careful examination of the little patient. The closest scrutiny, however, failed to bring to light any injury of a serious nature, and before the doctor was out of the house, the child was eat ing an apple, aud indicated an intention to return to play at the earliest oppor tunity. It is supposed the child’s clothing must have acted as a parachute. Historic Wills, A small town in the interior of New Jersey is probably the last place where one would look for facts in writing up the histoi’y of the Bonaparte family, and yet in the village of Mount Holly may be found information which can be had nowhere else in America. The will of Joseph Bonaparte, Count de Surveillers, brother of the great Napoleon, is spread at length on the recoid books in the office of the surrogate of Burlington county. The record covers the will in English, French, aud Italian, an official copy having been sent from Florence in 1846. Joseph Bonaparte left a portion of his New Jersey estate to Lewis Mail- lard, who had charge of his affairs, and hence the necessity of having the will recorded in New Jersey. There is also at Mount Holly a certified copy fi’om Loudon of the will of Mary Penn, of the family of William Penn, which covers nine sheets of parchment, each two and n half by three feet square. The Power of the Press. “Celia Logau,” writing from New York to the Baltimore Hews, says: “Here is something showing the power of the press. One day last week the Staats ZciUtnrj had a favorable review of Miss Corson’s little cooking-book for the wives of working men, and ever since there has been such a rush for the work among the German population that Miss Corson found she could uot get her door open fast enough to accommodate the stream of people, so she left the door open, put a table containing the pamphlets in the hall, aud engaged a girl to hand them out.” A recent advei’tisement contains the following: “ If the gentleman who keeps the shoe shop with the red head will re turn the umbrella of a young lady with whalebone ribs aud an ivory haudlc to the slate-roofed grocer’s shop, he will hear of uumotUiii(' to bin ailvantng^. no the same is the gift of a deceased mother now no more with the name engraved upon it.

During th;e late ! war I was in the army, and had the misfortune ! to Iks taken prisoner, and was confined it). Salis- 1 bury and other Southern prisons several \ months, aud became so much reduced in health : and strength as to be a mere skeleton bf my [ former self. On being released, I was a fit subject for a Northern hospital, where I re mained some two months and then came home. My physician recommended and procured for me several bottles of Peruvian Syrup, which I continued to use for several weeks, and found my health restored and my weight increased from ninety pounds to one" hundred and fifty my usual weight, and have been in my usual good health ever since ; and I can cheerfully recommend it in all cases of weakness and debility of the system, whether arising from an impure state of the blood, dyspepsia, or almost any other cause, believing it will in most cases give entire satisfaction.

Nearly thirty years have elapsed since Hos- tetter's Stomach Bitters was first brought to the notice of the American public. To-day it is the most popular remedy on this continent for dyspepsia, liver complaint, constipation, debility,* nervousness, urinary and uterine com- j plaints, gout, rheumatism, intermittent and remittent fevers, and is widely used in South and Central America, Mexico, the West Indies and Australia, as a preventive and remecy for malarious disorders, and for many other mala- ; dies to the relief of which it is adapted. The record of its victories is written in the testi monials of thousands whom it has cured, to many of which the widest publicity has been given ; it has won the emphatic sanction of leading members of the medical profession, and it has repeatedly been made the subject ot encomiums by the home and foreign press.
