told by Gov Ellis, in an address to the
students of Trinity College at the late CON-
mencement.
When President Jackson appointed Mr..
Buchanan Minister to Russia, the friends
of certain gentleman solicited for him an
appointment as secretary of legation. Al
though the qualifications of the gentleman
were unquestionablc, and his friends nu-
mcrous and influential, General jackson
pcrtinaciously refused to give him the ap-
pointmcnt. And he explained his refusal
to Mr. Buchanan by saying, 'IIe is no
Judge Of preaching. How is that?' asked
Mr.. Buchanan. Why said Jackson, i
attended the Methodist church a year or
two ago, and heard most able and elo-
quent sermon by DR.. Durbin. 1t was the
logic of the Gospel set on fire by the fervid
zeal of devotion to Christ The effect was
very great upon the congregation All
we're awed into silence and reverence, and
| felt as though l stood before the awful
majesty of the eternal God. AS l passed
from the church this gentleman for whom
the appointment is solicited, joined me and
broke upon the solemn feeling the sermon
had inspired, by saying, The preacher has
given us very poor sermon; nothing new
in it, only mere defamation Sir added
the old General, 'that man is not fit for Of
fee, he is not to be trusted, because he is
no Judge of preaching
And General Jackson did not appoint
him to the Legation of Russia. How ne
was to infer disqualification for the office
for the want of just views of a sermon, the
President did not explain. But the future
history of the man proved the instructive
foresight of Jackson into character. Upon
Mr.. Buchauan's return from Russia, he
called upon the President whose first words
after the salutation, were, Il told you that
man was not to be trusted, because he was
no judge of preaching, and sure enough he
has been unfaithtul to the trusts reposed in
him. And so it was; the gentleman had
become guilty of breach of the principle:
which are dear to man of honor and in
tcgrity.
This incident gives US an interesting
glimpse of the peculiar character of Gene
raj Jackson, and is quite suggestive to per
sons who make or hear criticisms on ser
mons

The time for the weddings came, and
there were two of them. On his twenty
first year, Mr.. Hamilton took Fred into
partnership with him, and Mark, having
become rich upon speculation, had the mag
nanimity to present Star with deed of
her fathers farm, on the day of her mar
riage so that the two young couple went
there on their wedding tour. Marshall was
so much enchanted with the beautiful coun.
try, that he declared himself in favor of
settling there; and ultimately, his father
bought splendid farm near by and carried
his family to the west, including, of course,
Frederic and his young wife.
The rich Cogshells became so reduced in
consequence of a heavy failure, that the
daughters, brought up in elegance though
they were, were forced to earn their liveli.
hood by the most humble employment, and
it is to be hoped that so wholesome dis
cipline was not wholly lost upon them
Though Mr.. Cogshell never asked assis-
tance from Bogus; yet hearing that bis un'
Gle was in destitute circumstances, Frederic
rendered him a small tract of land in the
West, which was thankfully accepted,
though bitter self.accusation, had made
him an unhappy man.
Mr.. Carlisle remained abroad for many
years, and when he returned, brought a
dashing young wife from Paris, who led Il
gay life, and it was said, ruled her hus
band. Dora Hamilton became very init,
mate with her, and persuaded Mark to live
in New York, where she still, though 'fat
and forty creates a sensation, and keeps
the world talking.
Thus we take our leave Of STAR, the
home-light, the pride and blessing of hel
poet husband.

'In Schenectady; you were brought here

for I am in a terrible state of anxiety

The doctor stood by the bedside a mo-

will you write line for me, immedi-
ately, sir?' asked Marshall.
'Certainly-am very glad to see you so
rational again. But be careful how you
yield to your feelings, fever can be easily

Il will be careful sir-only do write to

think how they may suffer-
They shall hear immediately said the
doctor-'their suspense must be truly de-
plorable.'
As he turned away, the nurse took his
place.
Have you been with me all the time,

Yes, dear, all the time somewhere near
you, she replied.
'And did you-did I-rave much? Did

too sick to rave, although sometimes you've

Other duties now called the good, simple
hearted creature away, and in very few
moments the doctor announced that the let
ter was written and sent, so Marshall strove
to pass the intervening time as calmly as
he could.

STAR RETURNS TO TIE CITY.

STAR RETURNS TO THE CITY.
Left alone, after Medals sudden dcpar
ture, Star wandered through the house
out on the grounds, and finally to the mar,
gin of the river, where she strained her sad
weeping eyes from point 20 point, almost
expecting to sec the floating body Of the
man she loved Men in boats were still al
work, away off in the distance, searching
for the body, and the sun poured it's REQ
light lavishly over all the waters.
With clasped hands and an aching heart
sighing ever and anon most bitterly, Stal
moved along the beaten path with weary
steps, ever before her eyes the picture Of
that sorrowful family; ever in her ears
the sound she had heard in her dreams
the last gursling cry Of u pcrishiug man as
the pillows went over him. Around, above
her, even beneath her feet, there was the
murmurous music of summer-lfc. Birds
and bees, and gaudy. coated insects, huttcr
ed over and within their leafy homes glad
ness and peace were written wherever she
turned her eyes-til they met the figure
of Mr. Carlisle. So suddenly he confronted
her, at the turning Of the path, that she
stood startled and undetermined for mo-
ment; then she essayed to pass him with
out exchanging words-for there was a bit,
ter, mocking smile on his lip-but he pre-,
vented her, simply by turning and walking
by her side.
Il regret that our search was useless, he
said at last; and the words were SO devoid
of feeling, that Star felt her heart leap in.

SADLY good and interesting young fellow

hurrying forward. Don't mention it again
if you please-your coldness frightcns me
o. Mr.. Carlislc-I think-hcaven forgive
me if | wrong you'll think you might

There was singular noise as of the
grinding together of teeth. Star turned
her head for moment, but the face beside
her was like stone

capsized-it was dark-thcrc was mile and
