A Faithful Wid5w.
The loiterer along Broadway who stops to
look at the Monument of General Montgom-
cry in St. PauPs Church, will be glad to read
this touching incident related by Mr.. Hunt
in his lately published "Life of Edward Liv-
ingston." Montgomery was a captain in the
British army when he first met LivingstOn's
sister Janet, whom he afterwards married.
When the Revolutionary War began he was
made one of the eight Brigadier- Generals OF
the army of the United Colonies. He had
been married but two years, but his wife did
not oppose his departure, and he took leave
of her at Sarat9ga in l775, upon his way to
Canad. His parting words to her were,

stood alone upon the portco at the appointed
time. She had lived with the General but
two years, 1t was then almost forty three
years since she had parted with him at Sara

period the waters of the Hudson, like all
other waters, had been ingnorant Of steam YES
sells The change which ID the meantime
had come over her person was not greaser
than that which the face of the country, its
she was familiar, had undergone. Yet she
had continued as faithful to the memory of
her soldier, as she called him, as if she still
looked for him to come back alive and unal-
tered. The steamer halted before her; the
Dead March was played by the band, sa-
lutte was fired, and the ashes of the departed
hero passed on. The attendants of the ven
erable widow now sought her. She had sue
