HENRY GILES AND MARGARET tUL-
lHR.-She sat dreamily and quietly in a
corner, with head half bent and dropping
eyes. We took chair near her. She
simply permitted it. We SAID a few or
dinary words She quietly replied. Her
mood was cool her tones were low ; her
phrases were formal; and, to say the
least. her influence on us was not eX
citing or encouraging. And yet ii was,
in some uneXpainable way. attractive
At that time we were young and strange
in Boston society, and knew nothing of
it, celebrities. We were, therefore, en-
tirclg ignorant OF Miss Fuller, local and
literary distinction. But we were not
long Ignorant that we were in the pres
,ucc Of one whose mind her kingdom
was" From word to word She grew
warmer and warmer, until her whole
spirit seemed to burn and to shine Still
her manner was quiet, her voice subdued.
She did not 50 much converse, as think
aloud 1t was more mOnolOgue than. dia-
logue-fJr we were all hut oiiemt.-
Things old and new were brought out
easily from a wonderfully rich treasury,
and the old things and the new were made
with a subtitle enchantment to fit each
other. The results of reading in all great
litcratures and PHILOSOPHERS melted in,
naturally aud unpedanticalIy, with the
news Of the day, or the suggestion Of the
moment. There was no loudness-no
impetuosity, no obtrusive urgency, no ag-
gre>sive emphasis but there was what
seemed to us almost a miracle OF utter
ance in such n play OF thought, fancy,
feeling, learning and imagination as we
had never heard betore-as we never
hope to hear again. Yet we had heard
fine takers. We had ourselves, in a
small way, obtained some credit for that
sort of exercise. But this was of such
surpassing power, as not only to humble
our vanity, but to dispel the glory of our
memories. 1t was at first strange and
startling, but before it ended it was de-
light as we'll as a marvel it was the most
complete union Of surprise and pleasure
that our experience can recall.-Horpcr'S
Monthly.

AN OLD CHURCH.-An army letter
from Falls Church, Va, gives the follow
ing account OF an old church there:
The only building OF mark in the lit
tie village OF Falls Church, (thOugh the
country for miles around bears the name,
after the old Virginia fashion, is the brick
church, built in colonial times, and asso-
ciated with the days when Fairfax was
the home of Washington. 1t is a square
building of simple architecture, with
small windows, high backed seats, and
no gallery, The old churches at Pohick
and Alexandria, where Washington wor-
shipped, are of the same model. The ta-
blets are lettered in antique style, and a
slab near the altar has the following in
scription
Henry Fairfax, an accomplished gen
tleman, an upright magistrate, sincsre
christian, died in command of the Fairfax
Volunteers, at Saltillo, Mexico, on the
18th day of August, lS47. But for his
munifcence this church might still have
been ruin
The church was for long years suppor-
ted by the Fairfax family, whose high
rank among the +. +. Y. is a matter of
State history.
The present rector, Rev. Mr. Harold,
has been in warm sympathy with the Sc
cessionists, and uttered the most treason
able sentiments from the pulpit. He did
not preach yesterday, but the guard sta
toned over his house informed me that he
avowed hearty Union sentiments. In the
presence of the loyal Connecticut boys he
may we'll do so. When | entered the
church half dozen soldiers were read
ing the books of the Sabbath School Ii
brary, and one was writing at the chancel
table There was no disposition to mutt
late the building or furniture

A GOOD OLD ANECDOTE

One day when Dumont, a tradesman OF
the Rue St. Denis, was walking in the
Boulevard st. Antoine with a friend, he
offered to lay wager with the latter that
If he were to hide "A six livre piece in the
dust, his dog would discover and bring it
to him. The wager was accepted the
piece Of money secreted, after being care
fully marked. When the two proceeded
some distance from the spot, NJ. DumoQt
called to his dog that he had lost some
thing, and ordered him to seek it. Can
lche Immediately turned back, and his
master and his companion pursued their
walk TO the Rue st. Denis. Meanwhile a
traveller, who happened to be just then
returning in a small chaise from Vincen-
mes perceived the piece of money, which
his horse had kicked from its hiding place;
he alghted, took it up, and drove to his
inn, III the Rue Pont aux Bhoux. Can
iche had just reached the spot in search
OF the lost piece, when the stranger picked
ii up. He followed the ehaise, went into
the inn, and stuck close TO the traveller
Having scented out the coin, which he had
been ordered to bring back, in the pocket
of the lattor, he leaped up necessarily at
and about time The traveller supposing
him to be some dog that had been left be-
hind by his master regarded hi- different
movements as marks Of fondness; and a.
the animal was handsome he determined
to keep him. He gave him a good sup
per, and on retiring took him 10 his cham
ber. No sooner had he pulled off his
breeches then they were seized by the
dog: the owner conceiying that he wanted
to play with them, took the IN away agan
The animal began to bark at the door,
which the traveller opened 4nder the idea
that the dog wanted to go opt. Caniche
snatched up the bree"hes and away he
flew. The traveller posted d fter him. with
his night-cap on, literally sans culoheS,

was in one Of the pockets, gave redoubled

speed TO his masters house, where the

bIeathless and enraged. II accused the
dog of robbing him. 'SiF, said the
master, my dog Is very tallhiui creature;
and if he has run away with your breech-
es, it Is because you have in them money
which does not belong to you The
traveller became still more { kasperated.-

other smiling, without doub BIT there Is in

and such marks, which you picked up on
the Boulevard ST. Antoine. and which |
threw down there with the fl I'm conviction
that my dog would bring it back again

has committed upon you" The strangers
rage now yielded to astonish ment; he de-
Iivered the six livre piece to the owner,

had given him such an untasiness, and

THE BRIGHT SIDE.-Lo ook on the
bright side-it is the right side. The
times may 60 hard, but it will make
them no easier by wearing a gloomy
countenance 1t is the sunshine and not
the cloud that makes the flower. There
is always that before or around US which
should cheer and fill the heart with
warmth. The sky is blue ten times where
it is black once. You have troubles, it
may be. So have others, none are free
from them. Perhaps it is well that none
should be. They give sinew and tone to
life-fortitude and courage to man. That
would be dull sea, and the sailor would
never get skill, where there was nothing
to disturb the surface of the ocean. 1t Is
the duty of every one to extract all the
happiness and enjoyment he can without
and within him, and above all he should
look on the bright side of things. What
though things do look a little dark ?
The lane will turn, and the night will end
in broad day

SALT FOR THE THROAT.-In these
DAYS when diseases Of the throat are so
universally prevalent, and SO many cases
behalf of simple, and what has been
with us, a most etfectual preventive, if
not positive cure of sore throat. For
many years past, indeed, we may say du-
ring the whole of life OF more than forty
years, we have been subject to sore
throat, and more particularly to a dry
hacking cough, which was not only dis
tressing to ourselves, but to our friends
and those with whom we were brought in
to business contact.
Last fall we were induced to try what
virtue there was III common salt. We
commenced by using it three times day,
morning, noon and night. We dissolved
a large tablespoonful of pure table salt in
about half small tumbler full of cold
water. With this we gargled the throat
most thoroughly just before meal time
The result has been that during the entire
winter, we were not only free from the
usual coughs and colds to which, as far as
our memory extends, we have always
been subject. but the dry, hacking cough
has entirely disappeared. We attribute
these satisfactory results solely to the use
of the salt gargle. and do most cordially
recommend a trial Ofit to our readers who
are subject to diseases Of the throat,

the salt gargle; have the impression that
