& SIR: A series of experiments conducted by me,
with the utmost care during the past three years,
upon all the various paints and artificial prepara-
tions forthe preservation Of timber, have led me
to the important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint, manufacturedby the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves as perfect protection against the
ravages ofthe marine worm, and the formation OF
barnacIes, whilst no other paint preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect
lam now preparing a full report on this impor-
tant subject to the Bureaus of Yards and Docks, at

ries of specimens of wood and metal plates, which
Were covered with the different paints and pre-
paraiions, and them exposed alike for entire
season, in salt WATER opposite this navy yard; all
of which illustrates, in the most striking manner
the invaluable qualities and decided superiority OF
your White Zinc Paint over all other kinds
paints, especially for marine purposes.

| think replied Lizzie, that he in

man called Mary Vernon, happily married

may have known himT

Mary with a bright smile playing around
her beautiful mouth. you know the Doc
tors abominable pride will always prevent
that part of the drama being enacted
Stop that nonsense, girls exclaimed
Mr.. Vernon as he passed their room get
to work-pack up; tomorrow we start to
st. Louis !!
And to work they went. Mary had by
some mysterious ugcucy recovered from
her listlessness. She fitted from room to
room, singing blithely as lark all the
while. Her step was light and buoyant;
hope had restored the bloom to her cheek,
and JOY sparkled in her eyes! And strange
to tell-will you believe it? she went to
Edgar's room, and arranged it just as she
remembered he loved best to have it. His
books were all re-arranged with her own
delicate little hands; his old arm chair was
wheeled round to its place in fact, she
left nothing undone to make the room ap-
pear as it did when he left it.

With these words he led Edgar to Ma

Joy, Mary rushed forward to meet her low
er. Gently enorcing her within his strong
arms he folded her as tenderlyIas if she
had been an infant to his bosom, and new
er did two hearts beat in more perfect con-
cord than those of Edgar and Mary Il

happy reunion! At least, DR. Iemay and
Mary Vernon thought SO as they sat to-
gether on that ever memorable evening"
With clasped hands they sat and talked of
by-gone days-of youthful happiness and
youthful love They talked Of youthful
impressions-of first love- and of early
vows-of plighted faith and broken VOWS,
and of blighted hopes and unrealized an
ticipations! All was fully and satisfacto-
rily explained. No reserve checked their
free and voluntary acknowledgements
Edgar confessed that his conduct, to some
extent, was too rash and precipitate. Ma
ry said that she, alone, was to blame and
deserved all she had suffered, and both con-
Cured that all had been for the best -
Dearest Mary said the Doctor, as I have
ever loved you, may I still claim the love
you gave me many years ago !?
Dear Edgar, she replied, how can you
ask such question you know my love
has always been yours
Again they plighted their faith fRaaftil again
they vowed eternal, eternal fidelity, sealing
the mutual assent of two loving, devoted
hearts with kiss of pure affection. It
was arranged that they should join their
destinies, for veal or for wo,' as soon as
they arrived at home. It required but a
short time for Edgar to settle his affairs in
st. Louis, and prepare to accompany the
Vernons to Chester A few weeks after
their return from the West, Doctor Lemay
led the object of his first and last love- to
the sacred Altar. Nor did they stand be-
fore the Altar alone : Harry Graham and
Lizzie Ashton were there, too. Never did
man or woman more heartily respond-I
WILL-than Edgar and Mary!
Woman's constancy needs not any com.
ment. Her fidelity is world known and
and world-renowned But mans fidelity
is doubted. Why is it? This question
has often been asked but never answered
It needs not any answer, for man can love
be found There it ttf y 16S IGE6 66 i gsnse,
