NOW Il WAS CAUGHT.
by mLDEL somMERvnLE.

Ralph Sommer7ilIe spent some
months at our house. He was a noble
hearted, generoas fellow, and I soon
found that I took more than a passing
interest in him. Though generous as
/ have said, his disposition borderod on
SteFness. There was something silent
and mysterious about him--not repel-.
liant, to be sure, but seeming to be

pnuning with his. own thoughts. was
1 wild, romping girl, and perhaps it
gas this contrast Of dispositions which
drew me towards him with warmer
magnetism. Ile was certainly not
handsome, neither particularly well
Formed; and yet in the fire that kindled
in those grey eyes, or the soft smile
that wreathed bis lips, there was much
Of beauty to me. The tones of hi 5
yoice were clear aud distinct; and his
earnest words, before VS. were better
acquainted, caused the same singular
emotions experienced when | first

TUE UNSEEN BATTLE FIELD.

There is an unseen battle field
in every human breast,
Where two opposing forces meet,
Ard where they seldom rest.
That field is yelled from mortal sight;
IT'S only seen by One,
Who knows aloae where victory lies,
When each days fights done.
One army clusters strong nd fierce
Their chef of demon form;
His brow is like the thunder cloud,
His voice the bursting storm
His captains. Pride, Lust and Hate,
Whele troops watch night and day,
Swift to detect the weakest point,
And thirsting for the fray.
Contending with this mighty force,
is but little band;
Yet thero with an unqualing front,
These warrtcrs firmly stand.
Eheir leader is..of god-hke form,
Of countenanee serene,
End blowing on his naked breast
/ a naked cross is seen.
His captains, Faith Hope and Love,
Point to that wonderous sign,
Aud gazing on it, all receive
stregnth from source divine.
They feel it speaks a glorious truth,
A ruth as great as sure
That TO be vietors; they must learn
To love, eottfde, endure.
That faith sublime in the widest strife
Inparts a holy calm
For ever deadly blow a ashield,
For every weund balm.
And when they win the battlefield,
Past tolls are quite forgot;
The plain where carnage once had
reigned
Becomes hallowed spot
A3spot whore flowers of joy and peace
a spring fronith fertile sod
And breath the perfume of their praise
On every bresze- to God.

ADVERTISING OBIrUARY.-The fol-
lowing strange bit Of obituary we clip
from a New Jersey paper:
Departed this life, on the 18th inst,
at his shop, No. 80 Greenwich street,
Mr.. Edward Jones, much respected by
all who knew and dealt with him. As
a man he was an amiable; as halter
he was upright and moderate. His
virtues were beyond all price, and his
beaver hats were only three dollars
each. He has left a widow to depIore
his loss, and large stock to be sold
cheap for the benefit Of his family
lie was snatched from the world in the
prime of life, just as he had concluded
an extensive purchase of felt, which he
got SO cheap that the widow can sup
ply hats at more reasonable rate than
any house the city. His disconsolate
family will carry on business with
punctuality.

me. And yet, SO perverse IS she, that
were I soberly to ask her to become
mine, l no doubt would meet with a
peremptorily refusal. If I let her alone,
she will tell me herself that she loves
me before very long,"
felt my cheeks tingle, and believe
that bit my lips with vszation.
"Do you think SO, Ralph q I cried.
"We shall see"
In minute afterwards I was down
in the parlor, improvisating at the pi
ano in a manner which, under any other
circumstances, might have made my
fortune.
Well, two more weeks passed by, I
ibid not avoid Ralph's society, yet in
other ways expressed an extreme indif-
ference to it. A shade of anxiety and
thoughtfulness began to settle on his
countenance.
One morning Ralph took an early
train for the South. A collision occur
red, and a number of persons were kill
ed and wounded. The news made my
heart lutter like a frightened bird. The
most painful solicitude was awaken ed
IN regard to Ralph.
In the evening Of the same day I
heard voices on the porch, among which
| distinguished my uncle's. l heard
him say: low had we best break it
to her 2
My heart seemed turned into ice at
these words; my brain reeled, and |
caught at the table for support. What
dark forebodings wera creeping into
