Marry and 60 West.

Nor very far from Central New Jersey, lived
two young lawyers Archy Brown and Tom
Hail. Both were fond of dropping in at Mr.
Smiths of an evening, and spending an hour
or two with his only daughter, Mary. One
evening, when Brown and Miss Mary had dis
cussed almost every topic Brown suddenly,
and with his sweetest tones strnck out as fol
lows;
"Do you think, Mary. you could leave
your father and mother your pleasant home
here, with all its ease aud comforts, and go to
the far West with young lawyer, who has
but little beside his profession to depend upon,
and with him find out new home, which il
should be your joint duty to beautily and
make delightful and happy, Ike this?"
Dropping her head softly on his shoulder she
answered:
II think could, Archy"
Well, said he in a changed tone, and

A few months since, Mr. Hardum, wild
over, thought that it was not wise TO sleep
alone, especially in cold weather, and he cast
his eyes around the circle Of his acquaintances
until they fell upon Miss Nancy Dunn, a lady
rather verging on the old maidish order. She
possessed a little property in her own right,
and knew how to take care off Mr.. Hard
um threw her the handkerchief and she grac-
iously picked it up. They were married, but
in less than two weeks there was pickering in
the house, all on account of the property which
the wife would not give up.
One cold night, after Mr.. and Mrs. Hardum
had retired to rest, the property subject was
again discussed, and this time so unsatisfact-
Orily that Mr.. Hardum sprang from the bed.
~ won't sleep with such woman, he
cried. an sleep alone
He left the room, but instead of opening
the door leading to the chambers he opened
the one that led to the cellar. He took one
step and the next moment landed at the foot
Of the stairs. He had scarcely gathered his
senses when Mrs. Hardum shouted
"Mr. Hardum. "
"Wel, growled the husband.
"How do you like your bedfellow2" and
with those words she closed the door and went
to bed.
In the course of ten minutes the husband
crawled into his wife's room.
Ny dear, he said, in humole tones.
What is wanting2" the wife answered.
II think the property can remain in your
name
Peace reigned after that confession. Mrs.
Hardun was mistress of the position and she
knew how to improve it.

A shrewd Trishman.

! An Irish priest was seen standing at the
corner of one of the squares in London, about
the hour Of dinner One of his eountrymen
observing the worthy father in perplezity,
addressed him;
"OhI Father O'Leary, how is your rivir-
ince?"
"Mightily put out, PA" was the reply.
"Put outl who'd put out your riverince "
"Ahl you don't understand; this is just it
u am invited to dine at one Of the houses in
this square, and have forgotten the name.
and I never looked at the number, and now
it is seven o'clock.
"Oh, is that alI?" was the cry, "just now
be aisy, your rivirince. I'll settle that for
you"
So saying, away few the good natured
Irishman round the square, glancing at the
kitchens, and when he discovered a fire that
denoted hospitality, he thundered at the door
and inquired, I" Is Father O'Leary here2"
As might be expected, again and again he
was repulaed. At length an angry fOotman
exclaimed
"No; bother on Father O'Leary, he is not
here, but he was to dine here to-day, and the
cook is in rage, and says the dinner viii be
spoilt "
Paddy, leaping from the door as if the steps
had been on fire, rushed up to the astonished
priest
"All right, your honors rivirince; you dine
at 43, and mighty good dinner you'll get. :"
"Oh Pat, " said the grateful pastor, " the
blessings of hungry man be upon you.
"Long life and happiness to your rivirince;
I have got your malady, I only wish had
your remedy"

A SHIP ISLAND correspondent Of the Glou-
cester Telegraph sketches Gen. Phelps pecu-
iarities after the following fashion:
"Gen. Phelps is character. He is perfect
ly democratic in his habits. Many a Colonel,
and even Captain, would do well to follow his
simplicity of style He lives in a common
tent, which is pitched close by the sidewalk,
with nothing to distinguish it but a sentinel
who PAGES before it during only the day.
Close by is what supposed for some time to
be travelling daugerreotype saloon, but at
last found out it was his Office. He does not
have a bed, but takes his blanket and sleeps
on the floor. His food is common soldiers
fare. One Of our LieutenAnts heard him the
other day tell what nice dish ofrice and mo-
lasses he had for supper the night before. He
dresses with great plaihness, has but one ser
want, and does not even keep horse. He
takes only his monthly pay from the govern
ment, and all his allowances he turns into the
treasury. He says that extravaganza is ruin
ing the government, and he viii not be par
ty to it. Every officer he holds to strict ac-
count, especially the Quartermasters. No one
can do anything that he does not have an
oversight Of He has made the Zouaves doT
their snowy trappings and don the regulation
uniform. He puts the officers through in great
shape, and does not hesitate to blow them up
on parade when thev deserve It. To his men
he is very kind and lenient, and is much be-
loved by them all. He has rich Yankee
drawl in his voice which makes one laugh to
hear. This model General honored me with
a brief speech on parade the other day, to-
wit: Sergeant turn about and stand per-
fectly still. Don't bulge an inch

AMONG the numerous war incidents OF the
times, should be classed one in which mem
ber of the 18th Ohio Regiment and young
glrl residing in Norwalk, were the parties
The story as told to US, and seems to be cor
rect, is as follows: When the Regiment was
on its way from Toledo to the field, the rail-
road train stopped at Norwalk, private SOL
der stepped from the cars to the platform of
the depot, when young miss quite lame,
approached and presented him with bOquet
OF fresh flowers, to which was attached the
name of "Nellie Mason" The soldier was
deeply affected by this unexpected mark of
respect from one entirely stanger to him, and
greatfully accepted the present saying as he
returned to the cars, 'Yon shall hear from me
again?
The soldier pursued his way to the camp
and the field, and months passed before any
thing more was heard from him Finally he
sickened, and after wearisome days of hope
and anxiety, he became satisfied his service
was nearly expired, and that he should never
return to his friends But did he forget his
promise to Nellie, that she should hear from
him again2
Not at all When the end seemed near
and death in the hospital, away from all the
sweet influences and soothing care of female
kindness, his mind returned the more con-
stantly and strongly to the scene at the Nor
walk depot; and then, more than ever, did his
heat flow out in gratitude to the fair stranger
whose quiet and modest regard tor common
soldier of Freedom had never for one day been
forgotten.
Let the imagination tell how many times in
those weary days of pain and waiting, he
longed to feel upon his pallid brow the gentle
hand that bore to him the sweet flowers
whose fragrance increased rather than dimin-
ished as they withered away2
But how could he redeem his pledge?-
Where there's win there's a way" He
found one. When life was nearly extinct,
and the honorable discharge so many gallant
soldiers receive was nearly ready, he settled
up his accounts, and finding about $50 of his
wages left, he place it in the hands of a fel-
low-soldier with his dying injunction to bear
it to Norwalk, Eand himself give it to Nellie,
and thus make good his sacred pledge to her
Whether she has yet received the legacy
we are not informed.-70lsao B'ads

from trees and underground, ard they made
rapid progress towards the river. Finally, af-
ter having been in the woods over two weeks
without sight Of dry land, they emerged into
the Mississippi once more, and with joyful
hearts steamed up to New Madrid, amid the
enthusiastic welcomings of our soldiery, who
saw in them the harbingers of change and
relief. They had travelled about eighteen
miles il getting through.
This great feat Of ingenuity and persever-
ance was thus accomplished without a single
drawback to its complete success. The result
of il was an immediate movement by the enc
my, who saw themselves surrounded, and cut
off from all hope of escape. The boats quickly
transported the troops across, under cover of
the gunboat and battery fire, and the rebels
were pursued to their cover, where they were
captured to a man. 1t was project eminent
ly impractictable at first view, and in such a
light they saw it. They knew that we were
at work at something of the kind, but the idea
of our being successful never entered their
minds They said among themselves that the
Yankees were digging a canal across the coun-
try, and laughed to think of the folly. They
were struck with CONSERVATION when the
boats came out into the river before their very
eyes and took thier places at the levee at
New Madrid and then they began to think
that the Yankees wereindeed in earnest when
they started to travel across the country by
steamboats-Cor ofhs Chi,agO Times.

Odd FaIloRshin.

LAST Saturday, April 26th, was the ami

Order of Odd Fellowship, as now known in
America. The first Lodge was organized by
Thomas Wildey and four associates in the city
of Baltimore on the 26th day of April, in the
year 18l9 In 1885, when the order had
been established twenty years, there were
over 10000 Odd Fellows in the United States;

relief of brothers S548.746, and for charitable
purposes S7245O. The amountexpendcdfor
purposes of charity and benevolence between
1880 and 1860, was about eight and hall
millions Of dollars This fact alone, were there
no other good result flowing from the Order,

every citizen Of our country.

A LADY who went to the Tennessee River

and who spent seme time as a nurse in one oi

ence in the Cincinnati Commercial We quote
the following touching sketch from one Of her
letters:
Ny next patient was an orphan boy, six
teen years of age. Frank B. belonged to
Birge's sharpshooters, and a braver heart
never beat in the bosom Of mortal than that
which throbbed in his.

with some toast, and left him sleeping sweet

cough grew worse, while his face became thin
and pale. He never lost his joyous spirit, but
always seemed hopeful, even when too i'll to
rise from his birth.
One afternoon I was startled on entering,
by the most piteous cries, and found that they
came from my little fayorite, generally so brave
and patient
Why, frankie, what is the matter2" I
asked, bending over him.

thickly already on the broad, beautiful fore
heah over which the fair hair clustered so
prettily, and my eyes filed with tears Of sOr-
row deeper than words could express. I
stopped to kiss him, and glad cry escaped
the poor blue lips Of the dying boy.
"Oh, kiss me again, won't you? That is
like my sister. Do kiss me once more: I feel
better. Oh, wouldn't mind to die if my sis

We are permitted to publish the following
extract of a letter from Sister of Charity,
who is laboring in the hospitals at Cumberland,
Maryland:
Our sick here are getting well fast numbers
are returning to their regiments every day
The hospitals are being broken up. There
were seventeen when we first came out here;
at present we have but three. They will be
kept open for some time, as there is about
four hundred sick in the place yet We found
eighteen hundred sick when we first came
out. 1 think one hundred of that number
have died. We have only lost ten as yet in our
three hospitals, and some OF those we had the
happiness of seeing die converts to our holy
faith Gin. Commercial
