CHAPTER Nv.
Il is no light thing in the world of care,

~Uth q = -
A few months more-time has passed
heavily. Who would hear hours recount
ed which brought only darker and deeper
gloom? Melanthe, pale and gentle still as
angel, holds in her arms her little infant,
James. Beside her couch the father stands
sorrowfully, but more tenderly than for
many, many hours, and months past and
as she cemmends her babe to him, and to
its God, a husbands love and tenderness
overcome all other feelings, and he takes
her head upon his bosom, where it had not
lain for so long. aud they wept together.
OH sacred hour of reconciliation, to long
estranged hearts Well might an gels have
hovered over the scene, and borne the sto-
ry to their Makers throne. As the little
bright-eyed babe clasped its mothers curls
and looked in her face, tear fell ON that
tiny hand, for well Melanthe knew she
must leave it in this dreary world without
mothers love.
What were Mrs. Hamilton's feelings
through all these changing scenes? What
were her thoughts, as she stood beside her
child's death bed, and felt she had laid her
sacrifice on the altar of her avarice? Me-
lanthe diedl Her blue eyes were fixed on
Heaven in solemn prayer. Then com.
mendiag her husband, her child and her
mother to that God who ever hears earn
est prayer, she crossed over to that land
where our dreams are never vain.
Harps of Heaven awake soft music,
For spirit draweth near
Glancing into depths eternal,
She begins thy strains to hear.
Harps Of Heaven, your sweetest chords awake,
And the sweet stranger spirit to your chors
| take.

Character of the Enfield and
Minnie Rifles.

In these "piping times of war;" says
the Scientific Americon, we see q great
deal in print, and hear much nonsense
talked about the Enfield and Minnie Rifles
Itis most generally supposed that the
Enfield and Minnie are peculiar rifles, the
one French and the other English, both
invented by men whose names have been
given to these firearms. The Enfed de.
riyes its name from the place where it is
made, namely, the Government Armory,
at Enfield, England, and it is in most re-
spects like.the American army rife, made
at Springfield, Mass.
The barrel of it is formed of the best
charcoal iron its length SO inches bore
58Oth of an inch it has three groves ! .16
of an inch wide, 5000th an inch deep
The pitch of the groove is 6 f6 in. A
hollow conical ball with plug of wood
placed in the base lis used in this rifle
A graduated back sight, set for ranges
from 200 to 1000 yards, is fixed on all the
En6elds.
The Minnie rife derives its name from
Lieut.. Minnie, of the French infantry,
who 'frst applied the hollow expanding
bullet to the army rife, and by whose ex.
ertions it was first brought into actual ar
my use. The French rifles have A grooves
.0275S inches in width, .007S8 in depth,
and has one turn in 6 feet The bullet
is hollow and conical, and weighs 4S4 grs;
NO wedge is now used
Formreiy, elevated sights were fixed on
all the French army rifles, but this has all
been dispensed with so as to render the
arms more simple. The back sight of q
rife is elevated at .78 of an inch above the
barrel A Fronch soldier Of the line
aims at the waistband of the foe, and with
his fixed rifle sight he is sure to strike
him within or at $50 yards distant. When
firing at greater distance, he uses his
thumb nail for back sight, by placing i,
across the barrel, and by long practice in
Judging of distances by the sye, be OBJ
tains wonderful precision in his aim. The
corps of Chasseurs and Zouaves have ele-
vated sights on their rifles.

CHAPTER /.

CHAPTER /.
Softly the holy shades of twilight fell
around. The bird gave forth its last loud
note. then sunk to sleep. The stars gath
cred above, and their smyriad eyes kept
watch over the quiet earth and the white
cottage, the "vale Of flowers" was shroud-
ed in dim and silent beauty. Arthur
Stanley pressed to his bosom pale and
beautiful girl the gentle Melanthe, with
large blue eyes, full of novelty and love,
full of the soul that dwelt in that frail
tenement--the soul forever wandering in
Some far off dream land forever murmur-
ing some wild melody.
Like the Lilly, she dropped upon her
lovers arm, so modest, SO gentle. As the
faint, early moonbeams stole through the
lattice work, and chsquered her dress oi
snowy white, and covered it with shadows
from the leaves and flowers, she looked
like a fair angel, with her face turned to-
wards his; face so sweet and sad in ev-
cry line, so full of tenderness which swell
ed her young innocent heart. And those
dark eyes bent on hers so searchingly--
what did they express? Feelings that
tongue or pens can never utter, feelings
which only eye tells to eye, or heart to
heart. They loved as the young and the
poetical only can love. With bosoms beat
ing with the same enthusiastic desires
swelling with the same sweet, absurd fan
cies which many cannot understand. Ar
thur had been absent many months from
his betrothed, and returned to find her
still ss faithful, trusting and devoted
Unheeding the many who sought her hand
she was still the same Melanthe. For four
years had this pure fame burnt on, unex
tinguished, unabated by the destroying
touch of time, who withers SO many hopes
with his icy finger. What should time have
to DO with love, but to strengthen and
make it more beautiful2 The impressions
which love has made wear deeper every
hour. -Four weeks ago, Melanthe haC
seen the wing of the death angel, but ht
passed over, and now the faint tinges o.
the rose once more began to bloom upor
the cheek every one thought would never
be lit again with the smile Of warm life
and health but the angel passed by, ans
left the frail flower in the "Vale."
Though the twinkling stars shone brigh
in the heavens, and the moon was abev,
the tree tops, still they fingered, gazing
on each other silently breathing such deel
unutterable things. "But Melanthe, my
own, my darling, this air is too damp, yo.
mus go in; when Arthur says it is, 20,
will not say otherwise p
mo" she whispered, "never when Ar
thpr says so.'
So they left the flowers, aud the dew
and leaning on his arm she ascended t,
the parlor then the sweet farewell, tn
tender pressure Of his hand, the swee
glance of exchanged tenderness, and h
was gone.

every word and tone and action betoken-
ed it. He was a young man of talent,
and stood high in reputation. His ways
were soft, gentlemanly aud winning, but
can the reader remember of how little
consequence all these must be, when the
heart is Pre-occupiedP
Il was evident he felt sorrowful at the
strange absence Of mind which marked
his wife's manner; he seemed not to un-
derstand it, and might often be seen alone,
musing, perhaps striving to see into that
mystery, to pierce beneath that veil which
hid his wife's soul from him, and placed a
gulf impossible between them who had
been linked together at the altar, and
should stand heart to heart.

This is something that is probably worth

know that a shotgun, with ball to ft il,

throw ball from four to six hundred yards
with as much force and accuracy as a rifle.
Moulds for them are easily made. / shot

that can be made. If any one doubts it
let him just try it.

We give some further extracts from the

il surpasses in despotism anything that
Louis Napoleon, or even the Austrian
Emperor, ever resorted to, is but one Of a
number of recent events in the United

rection in which the country pader its
