Only Single Grave ia America.

A few months since, young EDglishman
and his wife left their parental home in
London, and after tedious and dangerous
voyage of nine weeks landed safely in New
York. Thence they journeyed Westward,
and finally settled in Illinois, about nine
miles from the city of Chicago. Just as
they had furnished their new and tidy home,
and the prospect of a happy future began
before them, the husband fell 10 the heat of
an Illinois sun, and in single hour, and
without the opportunity of uttering even
the loving word "Good bye" passed into
the spirit world. There was but one mourn
err at the funeral other kindred friends of
both the dead and the living were all be-
You'd the Atlantic. Now came the hour of
stern and helpless widowhood. The mOurnar
was passing through more painful mental
struggle than the outside world suspected.
Kindred and the friendly means of subsis>
tence were beyond the sea only the grave
of her chosen one was here. 1t was an
hour of severest trial, but her reason and
prudent judgment triumphed over the yearn-
iugs of her disconsolate heart, and she de-
cided to retrace, alone, the long journey
to her kindred. After the sale of her eff.
fects-including her own and her husbands
watch-she had lett little more than enough
to meet the too liberal expenses of the
burial of Ler dead The voyage, however,
was undertaken, and among the passengers
who reached this city last week, on the
Free State, was the heroine of our story.
A friend of ours, who narrates to US the
facts, states that when the passengers, and
the captain of the boat learned the tale of
her sorrows, they generously added to her
scanty funds, though unsolicited by her.
sum sufficient to pay her passage across the
ocean. 1t was one of those kind and gen.
erous deeds, which Americans know so well
how to perform, and the memory of which
never ceases to be grateful. When the
boat reached our port, our friend and the
other passengers left the widow in flood
of grateful tears, and she pursued her jour-
ney eastward to leave 10 the Saturdays

Senator Wilson Oh the War.

Senator Wilson addressed Union meet
ing at Cambridge, Massachusetts, on
Thursday evening. He declared that all
that was wanted was men, and the traitors
would soon be suhdued. Mcclellan need
ed $4,000 more men than in Washington
TO day, and if re had them the secession flag
would soon cease to wave on the Potomac.
Fremont wanted 100000 men at the West.
and with this number Missouri would soon
be on the side of the Union Massachu.
setts had 10000 men in the battle field,
and, 'hough her proportion was 25 600, we
could double that number In abiding to
some of the causes for complaints in the ar
my, he said these had been removed. He
declared that every effort had been made to
carry on this war successfully, and said the
different departments of the governments
had been at work day and night to pre.
pare thoroughly for the contest. He had
often seen General Scott. unable hardly to
keep up from exhaustion, debating impor
tant messages to be sent all over the coun-
try.

Death of MIR. Atkinson, the Siberian
Explorer.

Mr.. Thos. w. Atkinson, the we'll known
Siberian explorer. died at his residence in
Lower Walmer, England, on the 18th OF
August. The London Atheneum says:
For about year the great traveller had
oeen failing, never having quite recovered
from the waste of his long and arduous
journeys in the wild country of Amoor but
no immediate danger had been feared by
his physician. Little or no suffering accom-
panied his decline, and he passed away as in
tranquil sleep. Atkinson was born in
Yorkshire on the 9th of March, 1899; and
he was consequently in his 62nd year when
ne died. lie was, in the truest and best
sense, self-made man. Left an orphan
when child, he began life for himself at
the early age ofeight; from which time he
gained bis own living, while training him.

were struck by the undefnabe grace and
bearing which are sometimes thought to be
the monopoly OF ancient races. He educa-

skill as builder; but his instrument was
the pencil, and his vocation that of trav-
eler. Owing to an accidental remark of
Alexander Humboldt, he turned his eyes to
the picturesque land of Oriental Russia.
His pictures, which have been much exbib-
tied at evening parties, and have been re,
duced for his books, are exceedingly clever,
and he wrote with as much power and fresh
ness as he drew. 10 person he was the type
OF an artistic traveller, thin, 1.-the and SIN
envy, with wrist like rock and an eve
like poets; manner singuIarly gentle, and
an air which mingled entreaty with com
mand. The two great works which be
produced on Siberia and on the Amoor
have made the whole world familiar with
his name, and with his extraordinary assem-
blage of qualities and accomplishments"

Reflections.

The Rev. Albert Barnes of Philadelphia,
has recently paid visit to his birthplace,
Rome, New York, and written there the
following touching reflection:
Men pass off the stage. God "changes
their countenance and sends them away
The old generation that lived and moved in
Rome sixty years ago, as every where else
on the face OF the earth, is gone. But na-
ture is the same, and what was there then
Of earth and waters, of hills, and running
streams, is there still. The river-bright,
clear pure-on the banks of which the
writer of this article first breathed the air,
and looked upon the light Of the sun, is
there still, and flows on as it did then. The
Old log house--then ready to fall--where
LIE began--has long since been removed
but the fields are there, and even few of
the old trees which stood in the days Of
boy hood, are there still. The one story,
long, low, red house, which was substitut-
ed In the place OF the more humble log ten.
ement is there still.
All who have arrived at period Of life
when they can understand what it is to 90
BACK hall century to the scenes of child
hood, can appreciate the emotions with
which man OF grey hairs and of advanc.
ing years, wandsrs along on the banks Of
such river; stands on the spot where be
was born; walks over such grounds; looks
on such ancient trees-solitary, living me-
MORALS of the past or contemplates the

recollectlons; the emotions which one feels
as he pausts in these solitary rambles, and
reflects on what he did in bis boyhood, and
strives to recall the views and antcpations
OF his own early years. Alas, he is alone.
From that old hatitatio1 all who used TO
dwell there are gone forever. Every living
thing that he saw there has gone. Father,
mother, brothers, sisters, all are in the grave,
and the wanGerer is alone.
No one can understand, except he who
has experienced it, what it is Tor man to feel
that all his own family are dead the utter
desolaton of soul that comes over a man
when he feels that he is the last OF his family
that none now stand between him aud
the great ocean of eternity on which he him
sell is soon to embark; and that of his own
household he now has 10 one to be his COM
panion es he moves on towards that bound,
less ocean. TO the recollection of the writer
of this article no such feeling of utter Desc
latOn has ever come over the soul, as was
experienced when he learned in a foreign
land, that the last of the family, beloved
brother, was also dead. Then how little
was there in a splendid capital to soothe
the heart; how lonely and how desolate the
soul, though surrounded by the gaity and
splendor OF the most splendid city of the
world!
