The Authors Compliments.

An anecdote relative to the late Professor
Wilson,. is just now circulating. When the
suitor for the hand of Professor Wilson's
daughter had gained the lady's appreciation,
he was, of course, referred to papa. Having
stated his, probably, not unexpected case, the
the young gentleman was directed to desire
the lady to come to her father, and doubtless
her obedience was prompt. Professor Wilson
had before him for review, some work, ON the
Ay-leaf which was duly inscribed, 'sWITu THE
AUTHORS COMPLIMENTS" He tore this out,
pined it to his daughters dress, solemnly led
her to the young lover, and went back to his
work

A SMILE.
BY WIN. P. BRANNAN.

Wayworn traveller in the strife,
Cans't thou tell me what is life?
Life is like the passing year;
Budding hopes with Spring appear
Urging on the sultry hours,
Summer-noon brings wealth of flowers;
Autumn's afternoon is rife
With the golden grain of life:
Frosty age, in twilight dim,
Trembling hears the vesper hymn
Ere the bell has ceased to toll
Heaven will claim another soul.
Hope and life thus pass away
Winter-death secures his prey.

a. Mr.. Thackery is still on the Cont
nent. My last news of him is from Bordeaux
whence he contemplated trip further south
or east, either to Italy or Constantinople.
He must be glad to have got rid of the "V-ir-
ginians." l believe the history of that novel,
If told by its author, would illustrate one mis-
chief of monthly publication. When he be-
gan it, it was certainly Mr.. Thackeray's in
tention to spend less time in London, and to
throw into stronger relief the effect of the
American War on a family, members of
which took different sides in the QUARREL
But once on the familiar ground of the
London of 177O, and then Thsckery stuck
"in rut,' (to use his own expression,) and
could not move on to the less known scenes
of the war of independence In this way,
imagine, the whole story assumed character
entirely different from what the author at
first meant to give it.-London Correspoa-

A Sad Case.


About eight years ago Baptist minister
named Melville, residing in the interior of Mi
| chigan, was deserted by his wife who fed
with another man to Pennsylvania. The hus-
| band obtained traces of the fugitives and sue
ceeded in hunting them down, when the Sc
ducer fled, and the erring wife was again TAX
en- t, the arms of forgiving husband. After
this the family lived in Spriugville, Susque-
hama county, Pa, where Melville occupied
| the station of minister to Baptist congrega-
| ton.
! About year ago, Melville became dissat-
isfied with the conduct of his wife, and even
tually obtained bill of divorce She then i'm
mediately married another man, and started
for the West,the couple having in their charge
Melville's little son, about six or seven years
of age After some time the new husband of
| the former Mrs Melville deserted Grand she
was left to her own resources. She gave
away the child to man in Macoupn county,
Illinois, after which she left for parts un-
known.
The wretched father of the boy was left in
his desolate home with two young daughters
His troubles, either with or without the aid of
other causes. brought on mental derangemen
and he had to quit the ministry. He claims

been in trance state seeing visions, but de-
nics any belief in spiritualism. He admits
that the physicians decided him to be partially
insance, but of course claims they are mista-
ken. Whist in this state he obtained inteli-
gence of the whereabouts of his stolen child,
and Immediately set out after him. He found
him in the family to whose care the mother
had committed him.
This morning the unfortunate man, accom-
panied by his son, arrived by the May Queen
from Detroit. He says he is on his way to
| Owego, by railroad. thence to Binghamton,
and by stage to Montase, Pa, where he has
friends. He is wretchedly dressed, and is en-
tirely destitute Of funds, but expected to 60

The boy evidently does not want to accom-
pany his father, and made two attempts to es-

he will eventually escape him. ~.

Judge Douglas is much better this even

Simply bilious fever" is not such a

patch, admits however, that the bilious fever
is proving itself not so simple as at first
