standard. True, amid the thick mist which
enrc'oped everything, he saw one face shining
on him-a face, whose purity made all things
else look dim a face which had made the sun
light of his boyhood And this time he drew
that silken tress from its hiding place, and
kissed it almost unconsciously. He started,
for her eyes, Lsaa's eyes, seemed to reproach
him with intiaelity towards his young wife; !;
there was nothing she scorned more than unfaith-
fulncss.
Thus did the afternoon wear heavily away,
business was neslected-secret cells of the heart
were unlocked; and ever and anon a voice
whispered, Thou art learning to deSpise her,
and she tay rife"
When he returned home YEARLY, it was his
time to be cold and careless: and Mcina ob-
serving this excrted herself to be as disagreca-
bic as possible-and succeeded beyond her most
sanguine hopes.

And now for the story:
In conclusion must tell you an anecloc
which, rs il particularly concerns the spiritual
welfare Of your old friend Major Eastman. you
will read with interest. Not more than four years
ago Andrew Johnson, (popularly callc! 'Andy'l
now in The United States Senate, was the dem
ocratic candidate for. govera& of Tennessee
against Gentry, american. N!son Brownlow,
the notorious "fghting Methodist, of the Knox
vile Wing, was the warm partisan Of Gentry
Eastman rs the conductor Of the leading demo-
cratic, Journal, was OF course with johnson,
and, as is his won't, gave the enemy vigorous
and telling blows. Gentry was defeated. but i'll

mt which BruwnlGv was present. When the

and were growing rntl!er boistcrous, the paraon

hal better retire, and was making o movement
to that effect, when he was stopped by Gentry
with the observation that no minister of the
(;ostlel should come into his house and enjoy
his hospitality and go oil without praying i'll The
family. Brownlow felt the rebukc and at once
set about his duty. He read chapter in the
Billie, sung Il hymn, aad commenced prayer.
He prayed for Gentry and his household and
friends; for the welfare of Tennessee, of the
national cunfederacv, the American eagle, and
the star spangled banner for ClristendQm ard

mankindsr sand finally said the rSson, We
pray thee, 0 Lord, it it he possible. in the plen.
tute of thy intimate mercy. TO pardon and save

Stop!" exclaimed Gentry, "dont let him do
that-a pould erharst Tic plan Of salration."
My letter is already too long, but | cannot
close without expressing my cordial thanks for
many kiudnesses to the final subjects of Brown

for the slaves, and have seen crowds Of them
worshipping with their masters in the same
great congregation. They are wonderfully inn
pres$ible, uttering their feelings in the very
midst Of the services-sometimes by, simples
eyes, yes;" sometimes by a long low wall, or
a sweet plaintive musical sound that goes al!
over the congregation, and often shrek from
some female voice; followed with q spasmodic
uplifting of the hands, and then slight swoon,
which draws together crowd of sympathizing
negroes, who attend to the subject until she is
restored to consciousness. All the, while the
services go on as if nothing was the matter, the
preacher evidently satisfied with this evidence
vi his power over his audience"
