grief for the loss of his only child, eventually
broke his spirit down, and he tried by ever,
means to find her out that he might call her bacl
to his arms and his home, to cheer again the
scenes she once gave life and beauty to, and say,
from an untimely grave, her mother, who seem.
ed fast thitherward tending.
The correspondent of Seden, aware of this
state of things, was not slow TO inform him OF
them and to urge him, by all means, TO hasten
again to shores of the Potomac. Selden, how
ever, thought prudent TO write, and he detailed
to the father ofhs wife, the happiness in which
he lived, the prosperity which crowded around
his path, fOr he was succeeding well,) and told
him how he loved Eleanor, and she him, and
that nothing was wanting to render him com
| pletely contented and happy, but the qualification
OF her desire to visit once again the home of her
youth, and see again her parents-on whom she
dotted still, with an affection that never once
wearied or Observation-Disclosures they descended TO
the grave. A week had not elapsed, before they
received, in the well-knCwn writing Of Flea
nor's father, pressing invitation to hasten TO
him. telling them that from the time she left him.
peace had left his mansion, and that the sorrow
for her loss was hurryng himself and her moth
er rapidly to the tomb. With as little delay,
Selden wound up his business, and in few days
found himself at the spot where he won, with
out intending to WOO, the wife who was the Joy
OF MS days. l need not here detail the bliss of
that meetine-how that harsh old man wept as
he embraced his children-how mother, son.
daughter and father rushed into each others
arms; nor, how soon the bright sunlight peace
broke in TO dry the showers Of tears. Oh, there
was JOY in that household, more than made
amends for all the previous grief.
Selden proved worthy son-in-law. The
whole Mason estate was soon vested in him and
he quickly rose TO popularity and influence. The
old people lived to good old age, and died in
peace, surrounded by halfa dozen grand chill
dren. Selden was elected TO Congress by his
fellow citizens, and while there won the esteem
ofall his compeers for his good sense ond high
patriotism. He still livcs--sevcnty- winters
have fallen With their frosts on his head, but his
age is green old age; and Eleanor, six years
his junior, survives also; she has fulfilled noby
the duties Of a wife and mother. Their chill
dren are all settled around them, and are among
the most respected and substantial people in that
part of Virginia; and no one ever had cause for
permanent regret, that they ran away in the old
sloop. the remains of which lie embedded by the
edge of the marsh, in the Big Elk creek, u little
way above the Landing.

A riched one lies buried here,

He once was fat, but now indeed,
He's thin as any .riever,
He died the doctors all agreed

One thing of him was said with truth,
With which I'm much amused;
1t is-thai when he stood, forsooth,

Coon JOKE ON A W1DowER.-A cor.
respondent at Holly sppings, Mississip-
pr, tells the following, and vouches for
its truth. 1t is the best joke we have
heard of lately. 1t appears that wild.
over in that town, of somewhat gal
liant disposition; had been accustomed
to visit the residence of the widow NJ
-, whether to see the amiable wld-
ow herself, or her lively daughters, our
informant did not know. One evening
he found the family party hard at work
on some garments ofcloth.- girls
were sewing, and the widow was pres
sing the seams. The widower 'hung up
his hat, as usual, and took his seat by
the fire; just at that moment it happened
that the widow had done with the pres
sing iron (vulgo, or tailor's goose.) She
setlt down on the hearth, and called TO
her negro man in loud voice-sJake
Jake come and take out this goose p
The wldower started up with aston
ishment, Woodworking what to make Of
this abrupt order.
Jake do you hear me 2 again exclaim-
ed the widow.
4 beg your pardon, Mrs. NJ said the
wldower, with visible agitation, but
prey don't call Jake-ify you wish me to
leave your house, will 60 at once, and
without the interference of servants.
The ladies roared with laughing, and
1t took some moments to explain to the
chagrined widower his mistake. He
has not been known 10 visit the widow
nj. since that memorable evening.
