} "Two years ago, sir, ! was happy
and knew not what it was to want;my
parents were rich, and owned one of
the first plantations in southern state,
was but young--not twenty, but |
had my suitors, the sons OF wealthy
men, vet loved them not---no one of
the gaudy throng had as yet made an
impression on my,heart. There was
in the neighborhood a poor, but manly
youth, the teacher OF our district school;
he visited our house, and was treated
with all the respect and attention that
the other visitors received; and Ill,
sir, fell in love with that man, and il was
reciproclted. My father soon discov.
cred our secret, and forbade him ever
to cross his threshold again. Need |
say, sir, we met clandestinely and
were married, we fled and took up our
residence in this city. My husband
my William-taught an academy for
a livelihood, and for eighteen months
we were happy, but then my husband
was taken sick, and he--he died! Yes
oh God!-he died!--and | was left
alone among strangers. | wrote TO

She ended. and every eye present
was wet with sympathy for her unhap-
py situation. One gentleman who was
present, with that noble, generous and
manly feeling, SO characteristic of"na-
ture's nobemen," came forward and
offered her a home and asylum beneath
his roof, which we need not add, was
cheerfully and thankfully accepted, and
she left the Office with the prospect Of
better, if not happier days before her.
Thus it is in this world, misfortune
dares place her ruthless hands upon vic
TINS Of every grade; and the sons and
daughters of luxury sometimes drink OF
the bitter dregs of the cup of penury

ICEBERGs OFF THE CAPE OF Goor
HopE.---The South African Advertiser
of the 9th of January, published at
Cape Town, contains the following let.
ter from Ii. Il. Marshall, commander
of the British ship Urgent, giving an
account of icebergs encountered when
rounding the Cape Of Good Hope:
On the 18th September last. on OUR
voyage from London to this port, III
latitude 80 S., and longitude 25 so H.,
the weather being squally and its APP
pearance very unsettled, we had in the
course OF the night reefed the mainsail
and topsails, and had slowed the jib
and the driver, when at daylight we
found ourselves sourrounded with ice
bergs. The first seen was on the lee
quarter towards the s. E., and immedi-
ately afterwards another more towards
the south. We had scarcely time to
feel thankful for having passed those
two safely in the dark, when others
were seen ahead and on both sides Of
the ship. We bore away towards the
north east, at the rate oil six knots, and
in passing between the bergs we ran
very close to some of them. Much of
the ice was in small detached pieces.
We took imperfect sketches Of twelve
of the large bergs; the largesto Of which
app cared 80 feet above the sea, and
continued visible until we had run .l6
miles from it. If daylight had not dawn
ed on us and enabled US to perceive our
danger, nothing short Of miraculous
interpostion OF Providence could have
saved US from contact with the ice and
instant destruction. Having sailed
round the Cape Of Good Hope fourteen
times, and also having rounded Cape
Horn without seeing gicebergs, | believe
there are many master mariners who,
in steering the usual track round the
Cape of Good Hope, have no more APP
prehensions Of danger from ice than
| had previous to this passage out, |
therefore request you will do me the
favor to obtain publicity for the account
given in this letter in the Indian press,
and transmit a copy of the information
to the editor of the Nautical Magazine.

ing upon the great change that had
within few years CONE over his pros
poets, when his uncle entered his room,
and proposed walk. William put on
his hat and accompanied him. Whe-
ther by accident or design, they walked
in the direction of the graveyard and
soon found themselves by the grave of
Mrs.. L. The old tomb-stones around,
scarcely visible in the darkness, read a
silent but impressive lesson on the frall-
ty OF man. A. they were leaning on
the. gravestone of Mrs. l.. the uncle
gave William descriptionof of her char
acter, and Of the circumstances attend
ing her death, particularly her dying
prayer that he might meet her in hea-
ven; sand now" said he, taking William
by the hand, "will you meether in hea-
ven or will you die drunkard" Will
liam burst into tears and sank down
upon his mothers grave overwhelmed
with emotion. The darkness without
was but faint emblem of the darkness
and horror within. Guilt, remorse,
shame, stung him to an intensity ofan-
guish such as he had never known be-
fore. His life passed in rapid review;
his talents wasted-hIs time misspent
reputation blasted--hopes crushed
the hearts of friends bleeding over his
degradation-a mothers last fond de-
sire unheeded--her last prayer unan-
wered-these and kindred reflections
came crowding upon his thoughts, and
death itself seemed preferable to his
present degradation and wretchedness.
He retired to his chamber and to a
sleepless pillow. The next morning
when the family were gathered round
the breakfast table, they found upon it
a temperance pledge, drawn up in the
strlckest form, and signed by William
l.. From that time may be dated not
only reformation Of external character,
but, also, as is believed, an internal and
spiritual renovation of the heart.
He now resolved to resume his stu
dles, ana prepare lot some uSeiul sld-
tion; but before he could put his pur-
pose into operation, he was seized with
fever which left no hope ofhis recov-
cry. He bore his protracted illness
with out murmur, and seemed desirous
of recovery only thathe might counter
act in some degree the evil he had al
ready done. On one occasion, when
his father told HIM the physician had
recommended a little wine, he said,
"father, if you insist uponit, | will take
the wine, though should greatly prefer
not to do 1t. must die, and let me die
without being polluted by what has
we'll nigh wrought my ruin" His re-
quest was granted. A few days after
long and silent procession was seen
moving to the ckurch-yard, preceded
by the mortal remains Of William L.
His body slumbered by the side of his
sainted mother; but where is the spirit?
We believe that the mothers last
prayer was answered, and that her
son has gone to meet her in heaven.

A TOUCHING STORY.

We find the following very affecting
and romantic sketch published under
the head of Police Reports, in the Bal
timore Republican:
PovERrY.-A few davssince, poor.
yet decently clad female presented her
self at one of our police offices, and re-
quested the magistrate to send her 10

guage denoted that she had seen better
days; and while she begged the officer
10 grant her last request, the tears in
rapid course trickled down her furrow.
ed cheeks, and her sobs choked her tu-
terance, as she tried to tell her mourn
ful story. The officer, as in duty bound.
asked her name, when she replied in a
manner that brought tears from the
eyes Of those sturdy minions of the
Iaw,whose hearts are necessarily steel
ed TO pity and the finer feelings of the
man.
"Ask me not my name," she cried,
slet me bear in silence and unknown,
the efate an inscrutible Providence has
meted out to me, but let not aged par
ents. fond brothers and loving sisters,
hear that that have died the inmate
of an alms-house, and the recipient ol
public charity.

+ 81 will tell what | dare tell, if you
will believe that speak the truth, and
use your influence to obtain me some
situation, in which | can but earn an
honest living" was her impassioned
answer.
frhe magistrate promised to do all he
could for herr and alleviate her situation
as much as possible. f'S
sMay Heaven bless you ir,"she said
and told the following mourniul and
thrilling concentration Of suffering and
perversity, commingled with the actual
feelings Of the woman.

of fragrance, and the air is "maklng
sweet music, while the young leaves
dance;'' and Mary, with fearful eye
and smile like sunbeam, has Just re-
ceived the nuptial blessing. In the
primitive looking church where her
vows were registered, there were no
inspiring painting;no gothic alsles. spar
king shrines, or delicate, carvings; but
in after life how dear was the memory
Of that humble sanctuary where Mary
Dacre had become a Bachelors Bride.

From the Albany Evening Journal.
MILWAUKEE.

] was prepared for surprise on
landing al MILWAUKEE, but what &C
tually saw far outran my expectations.
The approach of the boat was the sig
nal for the assembling of some dozens
of runners from the different Hotels,
at the outer end Of The pier, and when
had worked my way through these |
found myself in n maze of carts, hack
ncy coaches and omnibusscs. Within
few minutes after landing however,
| made the acquaintance of Mr.. FIJI
MORE, the proprietor of the Milwaukee
Sentinel, and under his auspices was
speedily installed in most comfortable
quarters at the AMERICAN. ] took the
next day to look about the town. and
have been rejecting for two or three
days since whether people at the East
will believe my "plain unvarnished
tale" ofwhat Milwaukee is, when they
remember that only ten years ago Mil
waukic acas mol. In 1895 the only in
habitapt of the quarter section which
now constitutes the principal part Of
Milwaukee was Mr.. JUNEAU, an lndi-
an trader. Now upon the same ground
stands town OF some EIGHT THOUSAND
inhabitants, and every steamboat, sail.
ing vessel or propeller which comes up
the Lakes, brings constant accessions
to this number. The greatest part Of
this influx of population, too has taken
place within five years back. Previ-
Gus to 1910, the growth Of Milwaukee
was quite slow. But in the latter year
it took a sudden start, and has gone on
since steadily and rapidly increasing in
size, substance and population.
MILWAUKEE is most adgantageously
situated. From point about mile
or Two to the North. the shore of the
Lake tends 10 the West, and sweeping
gradually round forms deep and wide
Bay. The Milwaukee river, swollen
by the waters ofth MenomInec, flows
into the Lake near the centre OF the
bay. Between, ard on either side ci
the two streams, spreads broad fiat,
originally low and wet, but now rapid
~ filling up, under the intelligent en-
terprisc Of the Milwaukee peoph with
sand from the river and gravel from
the adjoining hills, the two together
forming the best possible soil for city
plot. The fiat extends back rather
more than a mile from The Lake, and
is from one TO two miles in width, and
it is enclosed on al sides, except, OF
course, the water front, by belt oi Ia
blc-land, some fifty feet or more above
the level of the Lake, which is well
timbered, and affords numerous and
beautiful sites for private residences.
Thus, it will be seen. il ms description
